I didn't think Man City could get much better, but they have with him. Just as Haaland has hit a bit of a rut, he's stepped in and is looking like he's been on this stage for a decade. His decision-making, reactions, finishing, athleticism, all quality. Seems a good lad too. Spurs have dominated this game in every way but go in at half-time at 1-1 after falling asleep in the 45th minute. Having come close to scoring a second when Simons shot straight at Dubravka, they somehow allowed Axel Tuanzebe space to volley in a Kyle Walker cross from six yards. Lovely goal from Burnley and Tuanzebe’s first ever in the league. But goodness me, Thomas Frank will be cross at his players. It had almost been a perfect half. Ian Ladyman The Seagulls have been impressive since going ahead, and no one more so than Carlos Baleba. The midfielder has been excellent out of possession. Alex Jennings Semenyo's super start at Manchster City continues! His first touch was clinical, just working enough room in the crowd of old gold shirts before sniping low and hard into the far corner. Wonderful. His third for City already. 45+2 Against the run of play, Burnley are back level! Axel Tuanzebe has them even again. Just to rewind a bit - Micky van de Ven gave Spurs the lead a few minutes ago! Tottenham went short from the corner, fed it into the box, and after a brief scuffle in the area, the ball falls as his feet and he plonked it in. Pick that one out. That was a great strike from Nico O'Reilly, firing the ball abck across his body towards Jose Sa's left top corner, but it just sailed over the bar. There would've been no stopping that. Struck first-time from the edge of the area, it was still gathering speed. Debutant referee Farai Hallam sticks by his on-field decision and goes against the recommendation. I think the 32-year-old has made the right call there. One for you to watch on Match of the Day later. VAR are taking a loook here. Marmoush flicked the ball backwards to try and nick it beyond the onrushing Mosquera and the it strikes the defender's arm. I personally think it would be harsh. How was he supposed to know that Marmoush was going to do that? The debate is whether his arm is in a natural position. The penalty wasn't given on-field. It's not ALL Man City now. Wolves are growing into this. Gianluigi Donnarumma had a nervy moment at the back trying to play a clever pass but he got away with it. Wolves have spent some decent time inside City's half, hemming them in very well even if they don't have the ball. They did have an opportunity when Mosquera found himself on the ball on the left flank but his cross went out of play. Got to do better than that. So nearly 2-0 Brighton, as Timothy Castagne is forced to clear a Kaoru Mitoma header off the line. Fulham look shaky here - which probably means it will be 1-1 before long! Alex Jennings Come on wolves. Make pep want to buy another new t. ..
