71 mins: Have Tottenham settled for a point? Mauricio Pochettino has moved to replace the man who looked most likely to win the match for them. Dele Alli has gone off and on has come the £30m man Moussa Sissoko.

78 mins: The £30m man is on and now the £30m man should be off. After tangling with Harry Arter on the touchline, the French substitute flung an elbow into the face of the Bournemouth midfielder as he attempted to retrieve the ball for the resulting throw-in. Arter is absolutely incensed at the act and needs to be calmed down by officials and teammates alike, but after lengthy consultation with his assistant, Craig Pawson takes no action. Spurs should be playing the final 12 minutes with nine men.

Nine games. 

Funnily enough, nine is the same number as the amount of players they should have ended this contest with.

12 mins: Leicester 0 Crystal Palace 0: No goals in the Premier League, but it's not for a want of trying from Christian Benteke. The Crystal Palace striker has just clattered the crossbar with a header from ten yards out after he had got up highest to meet Martin Kelly's cross; Kasper Schmeichel was well beaten.

Earlier in the game, Shinji Okazaki - in for Jamie Vardy - had fluffed a great chance to lob into Steve Mandanda's empty net after the visiting goalkeeper had gone walkabout.

14 mins: Arsenal 0 Middlesbrough 0: Marten de Roon has just challenged Mesut Ozil from behind as he worked his way on to Theo Walcott's pass in the box and Mike Dean doesn't give the penalty. Wonders will never cease.

20 mins: Arsenal 0 Middlesbrough 0: The game has been played almost entirely in Middlesbrough's half, but it's the away side who should be ahead. Out of nowhere, Adama Traore found himself through one-on-one with Petc Cech, but as he tried to be the Arsenal goalkeeper at the near post, he was denied by the home stopper's parry. The ball rebounded out to Alvaro Negredo, but the striker's follow up strike was also blocked.

33 mins: Arsenal 0 Middlesbrough 0: Another chance for Middlesbrough! Adama Traore turned creator this time with his wicked cross to the far post from the left met by Gaston Ramirez. The Uruguayan arrives well placed to head home, but his effort was kept out on the goalline by a recovering Petr Cech.

39 mins: GOAL! BURNLEY 1 EVERTON 0:

Burnley have already seen off one Merseyside team at Turf Moor this season in Liverpool and now they're on their way to defeating another. Everton's hero last weekend, Maarten Stekelenburg, has had a howler and Sam Vokes has taken full advantage. The Dutch goalkeeper should have comfortably dealt with Scott Arfield's trundler, but inexplicably pushed the ball back into the danger area where Burnley's Welsh striker was on hand to tap home from close range.

SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: The action is back underway around the Premier League. We had it all in the first half except goals, action and incident. Let's see who can put that right in the following 45 minutes.
