Good goal from Calvert-Lewin, chested in very cleverly at the near post.

3 - 0 to Leeds.

Lovely improvisation from Calvert-Lewin.

That's 10 now. Made up for him.

Conversely, the three hard-boiled eggs look pitiful. Size of that Lucca.

See Dyche is working his magic at Forest... he's got some talented players in that squad but they look absolutely pitiful. Good job they've got a 6-point advantage over West Ham.

Dyche in his usual position, fighting against relegation, dreadful manager.

I think West Ham have enough quality to reel Forest in.

Bottom 3 will be Wolves, Burnley, and Forest.

There is no worse sight in the Premier League than the three hard-boiled eggs.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ginger Fanny Face take Forest down come the end of the season.

Nice Suzanne Vega reference there, MK.

Ah thanks, Edward, I was trying to remember who it was by.

Not sure about that red card shown to Romero for what was a coming together over a 50-50 ball. I don't agree that Scottish dick that it was a deliberate or malicious 'follow-through'. Casemiro apparently uninjured after all that.

The game's gone soft, I tell ya!

I nearly pissed myself laughing at that 2nd penalty at Wolves.

What an idiot!

What a game at Anfield where Liverpool took the lead with 8 minutes to go.

Then Man City scored twice, the second from a penalty, then scored a third but that was stamped out, correctly, after Liverpool's Hungarian fouled Haaland outside the area

Haaland fouled the Hungarian as the ball was rolling into the net, so Man City got the first foul... but wasted it and then the match was over with City the victors. Yis!

Just watching the match (discreetly) in a pub, overheard two RS fans:

"I think our chances of winning the league, have just been robbed by the Ref!"

Unbelievable!!!!!

Cracking game at Anfield. Pity about the result!!

Well I never felt more like singing the Blues.

The last 20 minutes at Anfield were the most entertaining last 20 I've seen this season...

Complete with ridiculous and unnecessary VAR intervention at the end.

Technically correct I suppose, Mike, but not much common sense.

RS would have been better off absorbing the 1-3 and keeping Sloboszlai, he's been their best player this season. What a shame. Maybe VAR isn't completely useless after all?

Not much between the penalty incident today and Jordan's GBH assault on St Virgil a few years back that they've never shut up about.

We win Tuesday, we are above them.

If any incentive was required.

The 3rd goal should have counted. The ref has opened up a world of pain for themselves with that decision.

Arsenal scored yesterday but the goal scorer got twatted as he hit the ball. By the same rules the goal should have been cancelled, a penalty awarded, and a sending off.

Terrible decision by the VAR, clear and obvious when the ref was right there and gave the goal... VAR is killing the game, run by people who have never kicked a ball or even understand the game.

VAR is great for the neutral, it adds an unneeded element of farce because of the delayed decision-making.

For the fans, it's a disaster.

John @23,

Not our first rodeo. Cue Everton that!!!

Seriously, tough game, Bournemouth have been on a decent run.
