Callum Jones scored a second-half equaliser as Rangers were held to a 2-2 draw by Dundee and missed the chance to go top of the Scottish Premiership. Dundee opened the scoring when Rangers failed to deal with a routine long ball, with Bradley Fink capitalising to round the goalkeeper and slide home. The lead did not last long, though, as Badredine Bouanani cut inside and curled in a stunning equaliser to open his account for Rangers. Nico Raskin scored the goal of the game when his shot from outside the area went in off the underside of the crossbar. But Jones then caught Dan Neil dwelling on the ball and nicked it off the Rangers captain to slot home the Dundee equaliser. Rangers remain second and move one point behind Celtic, who host Hearts live on Sky Sports on Sunday from 2.30pm. Got Sky? Watch the Scottish Prem on your phone "Dundee are a good team. They're not there [in the table] by fluke or luck. "They've got a style of play, Steven Pressley has got a group of players willing to run themselves into the ground for him and that's hard to get. "They put in a shift and even when they're asked to dig in and suffer like they did for the first 20/25 minutes of that second half. "They then got a second wind and came back at Rangers and asked questions of them. "A draw was a fair result. It took wonder strikes to get Rangers two goals. "There was a lack of creativity at the top end of the pitch and it's something they're going to have to improve."

Johan Manzambi came back to haunt Newcastle as his first-half goal was enough for Aston Villa to win 1-0 at St James' Park on Saturday Night Football. The midfielder had agreed a deal to join the Magpies in the summer before a late bid saw him move to the Midlands instead, and he has impressed since making his debut. He scored in the Champions League against Fernerbahce in midweek - on his 21st birthday - and continued his hot streak when he nodded home the only goal of the game in the 36th minute. In conceding, Newcastle set a new club record of 16 successive games in all competitions in which they have failed to keep a clean sheet. It came shortly after a controversial moment when Sven Botman should have been sent off. He was initially shown a yellow card for a reckless challenge on Nicolas Jackson, but VAR reviewed it for serious foul play. However, they decided not to upgrade the booking and Botman remained on the pitch. "If VAR can't see that's a red, we're in trouble," Sky Sports ' Jamie Redknapp said at half-time. "It is so dangerous. How he's not broken his leg there... I like to see aggression. I want to see 50/50 tackles, but you can't do that anymore." #NEWAVL – 17’The referee’s call of yellow card to Botman for the challenge on Jackson was checked and confirmed by VAR.REF: “I think it's reckless. Even though you get a touch on the ball, it's still reckless”. However, Newcastle ultimately ended the first half with no shots on target. There were some better openings in the second half for the Magpies - including a wonderful save from Zion Suzuki to deny Botman - but that proved to be their only shot on target in a game where they lacked the final touch. Newcastle were loudly booed at both half-time and the final whistle as the team's stuttering start under Matthias Jaissle continued. Aston Villa were also guilty of not finishing their chances but looked far more like the team Unai Emery wants. The three points sends them level on eight points with Newcastle and just a place behind. 9: CHANCE! Jackson is through on goal but his shot goes straight at Lukas Hornicek. 18: YELLOWS! Joelinton and Botman are both booked for hefty challenges, with a VAR review for Botman's foul on Jackson. 20: NO RED! VAR do not see a clear and obvious error and Botman does not receive a red card. 29: CHANCE! Jackson has another chance to score, but his effort comes off Botman's backside. 35: GOAL! Manzambi rises high to nod home Gomes' cross for Villa's opener. 39: OFF THE POST! Emi Buendia almost makes it two for Aston Villa, but hits the post. 49: HUGE SAVE! Botman's thunderous strike is pushed away by Suzuki's fingertips. 73: SAVE! From Hornicek this time as he pushes Ross Barkley's shot away.

West Ham ended Swansea's four-match winning streak with a 1-0 away success that reduced the gap at the top of the Sky Bet Championship to a single point. Divine Mukasa's calm first-half finish proved the difference on an afternoon when a new attendance record of 20,973 was set at the Swansea.com Stadium. After West Ham's 6-0 thumping of Lincoln in midweek, this was a far more tactical affair but the importance of the win will not be lost on boss Nuno Espirito Santo. The Hammers climb to second, above Middlesbrough on goal difference, and to within a point of Swansea, who lost at home for the first time since April. Swansea had made their best start since 1923 by winning seven and drawing two of their opening 10 games. The Welsh outfit also boasted the tightest defence in the Championship, while West Ham's 29 league goals at a rate of almost three per game was the highest in England's top four divisions. There was a cup-tie feel to the occasion as the two teams battled for midfield supremacy, but openings were difficult to find. The first shot of any description took 34 minutes to arrive - but the Hammers made it count. Marko Stamenic was caught in possession and Pablo released Mohamadou Kante as Swansea defenders waited in vain for an offside flag. Kante showed good composure on the by-line to pick out the unmarked Mukasa, who slotted home his third goal of the season. It was only the third goal Swansea had conceded at home and the setback sparked the hosts in to action. Adam Idah and Ronaldo had shots deflected wide in the space of a minute before Ben Cabango shook the underside of the crossbar. Jay Fulton flighted a free-kick to the far post that was headed into Cabango's path by Moussa Yeo. Cabango swivelled in a congested penalty area to strike the frame of the Hammers' goal, and Swansea were unable to force the ball home in the ensuing goalmouth scramble. England international Jarrod Bowen had a quiet first half, but the Hammers skipper burst into life four minutes after the break to force a full-length stop from Lawrence Vigouroux. It was the Hammers who were starting to look like league leaders as Vigouroux produced two excellent saves to deny Pablo and Bowen. Idah fired just wide as Swansea rallied and Cabango made a hash of a bouncing ball in the penalty area as West Ham failed to clear Yeo's centre. Substitute Stephen Eustaquio was off target and Idah headed over as Swansea began to ask serious questions of the Hammers' back line. Bowen's mazy run deserved more than the careless finish from Manor Solomon that followed, but Ronald wasted a great chance to equalise in stoppage time.

Oliver Arblaster's early strike and a strong defensive display saw Sheffield United take all three points from a 1-0 Championship victory over Bristol City at Ashton Gate. The visitors took a fifth-minute lead when a headed clearance fell to Arblaster, who connected with a sweet right-footed volley from just outside the box which gave City goalkeeper Sam Tickle no chance. It proved enough to settle a contest high on endeavour but low on entertainment from which the Blades emerged worthy winners. For the Robins it meant a second home defeat in the space of four days without scoring a goal and their fans were quick to signal their frustration after nine minutes of stoppage time. City midfielder Luke McNally made his first start in a home game since February 2025 when he sustained a serious knee ligament injury. Yu Hirakawa and Rio Cardines also came in, while Blades manager Chris Wilder made five changes, bringing in Arblaster, Mark McGuinness, Harrison Burrows, Kalvin Phillips and Jordan Ayew. The first half might have been a different story had Hirakawa capitalised on a golden opportunity to put City in front after four minutes. The winger broke clear, but with the goal gaping miscued his shot straight at United goalkeeper Michael Cooper. Wrexham 4-1 Preston: Ben Whiteman scores as Red Dragons thump four Southampton 0-0 Bolton: Saint held at home by Trotters Norwich 0-1 Portsmouth: Marko Milovanovic scores penalty in Pompey win West Brom 3-2 Blackburn: Baggies hit back to win in five-goal thriller Derby 0-1 Stoke: Luke Graham nets winner for Potters Swansea 0-1 West Ham: Divine Mukasa nets winner as Hammers sink Championship leaders The miss was made to look more costly when Arblaster fired United in front a minute later and they went on to look the better side in the opening period, winning most of the physical battles and easily nullifying City's predictable attacks. Hirakawa did break away again in the 13th minute, this time going down under challenge inside the box but referee Ben Speedie waved away his penalty appeals. Tom Cannon volleyed wide for United and Liam Kitching was unlucky to see a 27th-minute effort blocked for a corner as the Blades looked the more threatening outfit. The half-time whistle brought loud booing from City supporters. Home boss Michael Skubala made two attacking changes at the start of the second half, sending on Elijah Adebayo and Jed Wallace for Scott Twine and George Tanner, but still his team failed to create much until two chances in quick succession in the 65th minute. A Wallace shot was blocked by Burrows and from the resulting corner Dom Ballard headed over at the near post. Soon United were pressing at the other end and Tickle did well to smother a Japhet Tanganga header on his line. It was the visitors who looked more likely to score in the closing stages, Cannon having a shot blocked into the path of substitute Ryan One, who fired over from the rebound and also sent a late header wide. City remained toothless and could have no complaints over the result.

Wrexham eased the pressure on Phil Parkinson with a 4-1 Sky Bet Championship win over rock-bottom Preston. Joe Worrall scored his first goal in more than two years and, after Alfie Devine briefly brought Preston level, former Lilywhites midfielder Ben Whiteman struck next to score his first goal in Wrexham colours. Sam Smith gave the hosts breathing space just before the hour and Kieffer Moore killed it off moments later. In a week that had seen former Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard linked with the manager's job, Wrexham's third league win of the season was a vital one as they moved up to 14th. But Preston remain stuck on four points from 11 games, with Graham Alexander having lost his first three games in charge. Parkinson got a big show of support from the home fans before kick-off but his side started on the back foot, with Worrall heading Odel Offiah's lobbed effort off the line before Andrew Hughes headed narrowly wide. Parkinson had made four changes, bringing in Smith to add more firepower, but it took some time for them to start to put any pressure on struggling Preston. Callum O'Hare's stabbed effort was pushed around the post by Daniel Iversen and Smith had a low shot saved before the breakthrough came from an unlikely source. Worrall, a summer signing from Burnley, had not scored since a late winner for Besiktas against Rizespor in May 2024, but the big defender rose highest to head in Danny Imray's curled cross on his home debut. That was a little bit of unwanted history for Preston, who equalled a club record set in 1969-70 for the longest run of league matches without a clean sheet at 26. But Wrexham have been struggling at the back themselves this term, with their only clean sheet coming in a goalless draw with Swansea, and five minutes later the visitors were level. Moore lost possession in midfield and Preston quickly worked it wide to Johnny Kenny. His angled shot was deflected but the ball fell for Devine who made no mistake for his first goal since March - and Preston's first since Alexander took over last month. Wrexham's second was a painful one for the visitors. Imray's cross was only half-cleared and fell for former Preston man Whiteman to hit a low shot which left Iversen wrong-footed and the midfielder almost apologetically celebrating. O'Hare might have killed it in first-half stoppage time as he burst into the box but his close-range shot was blocked. Preston had chances to get back into it early in the second half but Brad Potts, just on as a substitute, missed the target at the end of a sweeping counter. That quickly proved costly as Smith headed in Whiteman's corner moments later, with Moore then ending the contest as he flicked in Callum Doyle's low free-kick.

Banana-crazed fans, a tradition that started in the 1980s, made for a playful atmosphere, and City's players responded with another demonstration of dogged defiance to move six points clear at the top. Their focus on winning football matches despite the huge scrutiny the club is under cannot be questioned. Pep Guardiola was the guest of honour when PSG visited in the week. On Saturday, it was former director Txiki Begiristain, who oversaw an unprecedented period of domestic dominance during his time at the Etihad. City are maintaining a united front wherever possible. Erling Haaland was insatiable again, scoring once in each half to take his seasonal tally to 12. He's scored four just this week - and is now the fastest of any player in Premier League history to reach 100 non-penalty goals. VAR also denied him a hat-trick late on. It was the forgotten Phil Foden - starting for the first time since being sent off at Manchester United - who opened the scoring, benefitting from Jeremy Doku's trickery to beat Christian Walton with a guided low finish. Daizen Maeda had Ipswich level within 155 seconds of Foden's strike. The visitors had no answer for Haaland, though. Mateo Kovacic teed up an easy first for the striker to head home and Iliman Ndiaye slid him through for a well-taken second. City were cruising, but a jittery finish has become customary at the Etihad and after Zian Flemming made the scoreline 3-2 from the penalty spot, nerves jangled. But it would seem that nothing was going to stand in the way of Enzo Maresca becoming the first manager to win his first seven Premier League games in charge of a new club. With City fighting against the re-write of their recent history, that is one achievement that cannot be stripped away.

Under-pressure Alvaro Arbeloa earned the first Premier League win of his managerial career as Fulham beat Hull City 1-0 at Craven Cottage to climb out of the relegation zone. With pre-match talk of his position relying on the next two fixtures after a difficult start to the season, the Spaniard got the response he needed as Alex Iwobi's first-half goal secured three vital points. Iwobi struck in the 34th minute, finishing a sweeping move as his effort trickled through goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis' arms. Fulham dominated the first half, registering 10 shots, and continued to create chances after the break. Josh King was denied one-on-one before Tzolakis produced another important save to keep out Iwobi. Fulham should have extended their lead, with Iwobi curling narrowly wide before his excellent cross found Gonzalo Garcia, whose header struck the crossbar in the 74th minute. Hull struggled to impose themselves for much of the contest, although Fulham could not find the second goal to put the game beyond the visitors. The closing stages brought late drama when Ryan Sessegnon was sent off in stoppage time for a late challenge on Robinio Vaz, catching the Hull substitute around the heel and Achilles area. Fulham were reduced to 10 men for the final moments, but held on to secure a crucial victory. 3: IWOBI GOES CLOSE! Iwobi curls an early effort over the bar as Fulham make a positive start.34: FULHAM SCORE! Iwobi finishes a sweeping move to put Fulham ahead, although goalkeeper Tzolakis should do better as the ball trickles through his arms.54: BIG TZOLAKIS SAVE! The Hull goalkeeper denies King after a neat give-and-go with Charles.58: ANOTHER BIG SAVE! Iwobi goes one-on-one with Tzolakis after some superb one-touch play, but the goalkeeper comes out on top.70: IWOBI GOES CLOSE! The Fulham midfielder curls an effort narrowly wide as the hosts look for a second.74: OFF THE BAR! Garcia meets Iwobi's superb inswinging cross with a header, but the ball crashes against the crossbar.82: HULL WANT A PENALTY! Gelhardt goes down in the Fulham area, but the referee waves away the visitors' appeals.90: SESSEGNON SENT OFF! The Fulham substitute is shown a red card for a late challenge on Vaz, catching the Hull player around the heel and Achilles area. Analysis by Sky Sports' William Bitibiri at Craven Cottage: "Could this be the turning point in Alvaro Arbeloa's Fulham reign? "It is certainly a start. With reports suggesting the Spaniard had two games to save his job, he needed a response and his players delivered one. "Fulham played with an intensity and attacking fluency that had been missing during their winless start to the Premier League season. "They registered 10 first-half shots, moved the ball quickly and repeatedly exposed a Hull side who struggled to impose themselves. Alex Iwobi's goal was deserved, but the hosts could easily have won by a greater margin. "There were encouraging signs of an identity taking shape, with the performance even prompting thoughts of 'Arbeloa-ball' at Craven Cottage. "Yet one result cannot erase the concerns of the opening weeks, and Fulham made the closing stages unnecessarily nervy before Ryan Sessegnon's stoppage-time red card. "The win lifts them out of the relegation zone and gives Arbeloa breathing space. "Whether it proves a turning point depends on what follows. For now, he has bought himself time and shown what his Fulham side can be."

Alexander Isak scored on his return from injury as Liverpool fought back from a goal down to clinch a 2-1 victory over Brentford, who had Yehor Yarmoliuk and Vitaly Janelt sent off. Isak, back in the side following a thigh problem, finished clinically from Bradley Barcola's knockdown in the second half as Andoni Iraola's side bounced back from their loss to Manchester City. Liverpool had appeared in trouble when Keane Lewis-Potter's header put Brentford in front moments after the visitors had penalty correctly overturned, but Yarmoliuk's moment of madness in first-half stoppage time changed the game. With only seconds remaining until the break, Yarmoliuk headbutted Jeremy Jacquet before a Liverpool corner, with referee John Brookes brandishing a straight red card for violent conduct after being sent to the pitch-side monitor by the VAR. Liverpool made their man advantage count after the break as Victor Munoz latched onto a Florian Wirtz through ball to score a superbly-taken equaliser, before Isak completed the turnaround. Brentford had a golden chance to equalise when Igor Thiago failed to convert from close range and they finished the game with nine men as Janelt was shown a second yellow card in stoppage time for a foul on Liverpool substitute Rio Ngumoha. The victory allows Liverpool to climb above Brentford into fifth in the Premier League table but it was not without problems. Dominik Szoboszlai had to come off with another injury in the first half on his return to the side, while half-time substitute Jeremie Frimpong only lasted seven minutes before being forced off. Iraola moved Munoz to right-back after Frimpong's injury but it did not stop the summer signing from charging forward to score the equaliser as Liverpool punished Yarmoliuk's ill-discipline to inflict Brentford's first defeat of the campaign. Isak seems to have it in for Brentford. His goal made it five in five games against them. Only Manchester City's Erling Haaland has a better 100 per cent hit rate against a Premier League side, with his total of six against Crystal Palace. Only Haaland has scored more goals than Isak this season too. The 27-year-old is up to five in the Premier League this season, despite having missed the Manchester City fixture due to injury. He only needs one more to double his tally from last season, when injury issues and poor performances prompted questions over his £125m signing from Newcastle. Now he finally looks like the player Liverpool thought they were getting. Isak was on the edges of the game during the first half. His goal came from one of only two shots before his 79th-minute substitution for Lewis Koumas. But the manner in which it was taken highlighted the ruthlessness that makes him so deadly at his best. He only had a split second, under pressure from Barcola's knockdown, to get his shot off. But his touch and snapshot were executed at dizzying speed, leaving Kelleher with little chance.

Watford lifted the pressure on head coach Alessio Dionisi and quelled their supporters' rebellion against owner Gino Pozzo with a deserved 2-0 win against sluggish Charlton. After shipping nine goals in calamitous defeats by Burnley and Cardiff, Dionisi's side had slumped into the bottom three and the fans had turned their anger on Pozzo. But goals from Luca Kjerrumgaard and substitute Jordan Zemura - the Zimbabwe defender's first for the club - extended Charlton's worrying run to eight games without a win as the Addicks were booed off at Vicarage Road. Watford, on the other hand, kept their first clean sheet in 210 days with only their second win in three months. Despite the mood of insurrection swirling around Pozzo on social media, protests against his 14-year ownership outside the ground before kick-off were limited. In the stands, the atmosphere was entirely supportive as Watford made a bright start, Senegal World Cup star Krepin Diatta extending Charlton goalkeeper Arthur Okonkwo after a quarter of an hour. The Addicks should already have been ahead by then after the unmarked Miles Leaburn headed Ivan Mesik's cross wide from six yards. But Watford, lively and assertive despite six defeats in their previous seven games, made most of the running as Myron Boadu fired wide from the edge of the box before the same player was thwarted by Billy Koumetio's superb last-ditch tackle. At the other end, Koumetio was narrowly off target with a first-time effort from a half-cleared corner as Charlton finished the first half strongly, but the Hornets were soon back on the front foot after the break. Boadu, played clean through by Kjerrumgaard's chested pass, rolled his finish wastefully wide of Okonkwo's right-hand post but in the 58th minute Watford were in front. Edo Kayembe's shot from the edge of the box was only parried by Okonkwo and Kjerrumgaard devoured the rebound from close range, only his second goal of the season. If Okonkwo was at fault for the goal, he fared better when he tipped Kayembe's low, fizzing rocket round a post before the DR Congo international fired over from a favourable angle. Only with time running out did Charlton sustain any pressure on Watford's goal, with Addicks sub Charlie Kelman's prodded effort cleared off the line by Mamadou Doumbia. But on the break Watford spurned a succession of chances as Martin Payero's near-post header was brilliantly parried by Okwonko, Doumbia should have done better than a weak finish and Payero bent a 25-yarder just wide. Finally, four minutes into stoppage time, two substitutes combined to make the points safe, Zemura dinking an exquisite finish over the advancing Okwonko from Rocco Vata's pass.

Will Lankshear stepped off the bench to inspire Middlesbrough's stirring second-half fightback in their 2-2 draw with 10-man Cardiff at the Riverside. The Bluebirds stunned high-flying Boro in the first half and led 2-0 at the interval after goals from Jack Moylan and Ollie Tanner. Lankshear, the Championship's top scorer, was surprisingly rested but the striker was brought on by Kim Hellberg at half-time, and within 16 minutes of his introduction Boro were level. Tommy Conway halved the deficit before Lankshear struck his 11th goal of the season in all competitions. Cardiff went down to 10 men with seven minutes to play when Gabriel Osho was given a straight red card for a reckless tackle on Lankshear, but Boro - who are now unbeaten in nine league games - could not force a winner. Middlesbrough started well and threatened a breakthrough inside two minutes when Callum Brittain broke down the right but Krystian Bielik did well to intercept his cross and deny Kyle Joseph - leading the line in the absence of the rested Lankshear - a tap-in. The visitors settled and were dominating possession but after Joseph pounced on some sluggish defensive play, Aidan Morris and Amario Cozier-Duberry both had shots blocked inside the penalty area. Neto Borges then blazed over after a Brittain cut-back. Boro were made to pay for their missed chances when Cardiff took the lead midway through the first half. Tanner was allowed to advance towards the Boro box before Moylan skipped past Borges and Morris with ease and beat Radek Vitek at his near post with a low drive. Cozier-Duberry had a close-range shot blocked by Alex Robertson before Nathan Trott denied the Brighton loanee with an acrobatic save. Boro should have levelled on the stroke of half-time when Cozier-Duberry squared for Joseph but the striker's attempt at a back-heel flick was blocked. Instead, they found themselves two goals down after Cardiff punished the hosts in a slick counter-attack from a Boro corner. The impressive Tanner was set away down the right, cut inside Adilson Malanda and curled beautifully into the far corner. Hellberg called on his top scorer at the break, with Lankshear introduced alongside United States midfielder Sebastian Berhalter, and the changes had the desired effect. Thirteen minutes into the second half, Conway met Brittain's low cut-back from the right and drilled home to halve the deficit. And just three minutes later, Lankshear curled into the bottom corner from the edge of the penalty area to draw Boro level. Osho was given a straight red for a tackle on Lankshear right in front of the technical area, but the Bluebirds clung on for a point.

Pressure continued to mount on Renee Slegers as Arsenal were booed off the pitch following their 1-1 draw with Birmingham at the Emirates. Arsenal went into the international break with just five points from their opening five WSL games after the 4-2 defeat with Manchester City, and just one win in six in all competitions. A home game against newly-promoted Birmingham, who themselves had mustered just two league draws all campaign, seemed like the scenario to return to winning ways. After Alessia Russo struck the post with a fabulous diving header in the first half, the Gunners were left stunned as they were hit on the break early in the second, allowing September's player of the month Oceane Hurtre to poke the visitors ahead. Birmingham's resolve was tested, with Sophie Baggaley making a superb save to maintain the lead. However, seconds later she was beaten by an incredible Olivia Smith strike to pull Slegers' side level. Arsenal pushed for a late winner but a combination of Baggaley and their inefficiency in front of goal that has plagued them all season ensured they went winless in five WSL games for the first time. It resulted in boos at the full-time whistle, as questions over Slegers' future intensify. 14: SAVE! Cooney-Cross' smart half-volley kept out by Baggaley. 18: OVER! Russo gifted a chance after Baggaley's poor pass, but attempted lob goes over. 38: POST! Russo comes agonisingly close to converting excellent Williamson cross. 50: OVER! Holmberg impressive run ends in her striking over the bar. 53: GOAL! Arsenal shell-shocked as Hurtre gives Birmingham lead on the counter. 65: HUGE SAVE! Baggaley denies Baum from point-blank range. 66: GOAL! Smith stunner pulls Gunners level. 73: MASSIVE SAVE! Baggaley again on hand to stop Wubben-Moy right on the line. 76: OVER! Smith snatches at big chance to put Arsenal ahead. "It's been such an interesting start to the season for Arsenal. I think they are left with so many questions and no answers right now, but they are not playing badly. They're not failing to create chances. "If Manchester City and Chelsea win tomorrow, you would almost write them out of the title race. "If they had won today they might've found a bit of momentum. I genuinely think the failure to win today has pushed them out of a title race. That was not what Renee Slegers' mission was this season."

Jake Cooper's scrambled equaliser rescued a point for Millwall as they came from two goals down to draw 2-2 with Lincoln in the Championship. The Imps looked on course to put Wednesday's 6-0 home thrashing against West Ham behind them in style when goals from Andrei Coubis and Rob Street put them in a strong position after 33 minutes at The Den. But the Lions were able to prevent back-to-back home defeats with a much-improved second-half performance, with the visitors hanging on for a share of the spoils after having Deji Elerewe sent off soon after Cooper's leveller. Lincoln had the perfect pick-me-up after their midweek hiding as they scored after just 25 seconds when the ball was cleared as far as Coubis and the Romanian defender fizzed a low strike from outside the box that went in off the far post. Stunned by the early opener in what was the first meeting between the two clubs since 1999, Millwall pressed for a quick response as Kyrell Lisbie slashed a shot wide from Lyndon Dykes' long throw. The Imps then doubled their lead in the 33rd minute when Street's shot went through the legs of Millwall goalkeeper Filip Marschall. There was some controversy around the goal, though, as what looked a clear handball by Reeco Hackett in the build-up was missed by the assistant stood close by. Watford 2-0 Charlton: Alessio Dionisi's Hornets bounce back from nightmare week to win Middlesbrough 2-2 Cardiff: Will Lankshear strikes again as Boro battle back for a point Burnley 1-2 Wolves: Fer Lopez on target as Clarets' winless run at Turf Moor extends to 21 league games Lincoln 0-6 West Ham: Hammers net six against nine-man Imps QPR 4-1 Derby: Rangers thump four past struggling Rams Portsmouth 3-2 Sheffield United: Ebou Adams scores late Pompey winner against 10-man Blades Somehow, Lincoln failed to add to their tally five minutes into the second half when Freddie Draper's header from Adam Reach's cross hit the post before Dom Jefferies struck the same upright with his follow-up. Millwall finally began to rally after the hour mark, with Dykes nodding Zak Sturge's ball into the box across for Luke Cundle whose header was clawed away by George Wickens. And they were back in the game after 63 minutes when Camiel Neghli's low cross found its way to Lisbie who saw his initial effort blocked before he quickly sorted out his feet to slide in his first goal for the Lions. The Imps almost restored their two-goal cushion within a minute, however, when Draper's shot across goal was pushed out by Millwall's substitute goalkeeper Max Crocombe, with the rebound just evading Hackett. Lisbie then looked certain to equalise for the hosts when Romain Esse's ball into the box was deflected into his path, but Wickens stood strong in making a big save. But Millwall were level in the 82nd minute when Cooper managed to force the ball in from close range after Lincoln were unable to clear Ryan Leonard's corner. The visitors then had to survive the final six minutes, plus stoppage time, with 10 men after Elerewe was sent off for fouling Zak Lovelace when the last man.

Burnley's run without a home league win will continue beyond the one-year mark after the Clarets were beaten 2-1 by Wolves at Turf Moor. On October 18, it will be 12 months to the day since they beat Leeds 2-0 in the Premier League. Since then, they have lost 11 games and drawn the other 10. It is the longest run without a home win across England's top four tiers. Jamie Vardy's first English football goal since returning last month put Nicky Hayen's side ahead, but defensive errors allowed Fer Lopez and Tawanda Chirewa to turn the game around, securing Wolves' first win in three and lifting them to sixth. In an interview with Sky Sports earlier this week, Vardy had been asked if this was his final season as a professional. "We'll have to wait until the summer and let my legs tell my head what they think!" he said. On Friday night, Vardy proved his legs still have plenty left in them. The 39-year-old found the net with his second shot of the game, scoring his first goal in English football since May 18, 2025, when he netted his 200th and final goal for Leicester. But his strike was not enough to send Burnley into half-time ahead. Kyle Walker gifted possession away just outside his own penalty area, and Wolves were quick to punish the costly error. Sean Neave took over, squaring the ball for Lopez to fire home via the inside of the left-hand post. Burnley lost their grip on the game after the break and fell behind with 18 minutes remaining. Igor's dreadful touch gifted Chirewa the opportunity to strike, and although his effort was met by Gregoire Coudert's gloves, the ball looped over the goalkeeper and under the crossbar. Burnley offered little in response and were met with a chorus of boos at the final whistle, as their fifth league defeat of the season was confirmed.

Celtic showed second-half fight but were ultimately outclassed away to Benfica as they were beaten 4-1 in the Europa League. Defensive mistakes from Celtic helped Marco Silva's hosts race into a three-goal lead by the break, with Jhon Duran at the double and Alexander Bah on the scoresheet. Camilo Duran - who had made his own way to Portugal after staying in Scotland for the birth of his child - pulled one back for Martin O'Neill's side and hit a post as Celtic tried to set up a grandstand finish. But instead, Vangelis Pavlidis wrapped up the scoring and a comprehensive win for Benfica, which leaves Celtic with two defeats from their first two games in the league phase. There may have been encouragement in some of their second-half attacking play but alarm bells were ringing at the back. In Lisbon, the city which hosted Celtic's greatest moment in the 1976 European Cup final, the visitors handed Benfica a head start when Dane Murray kicked the back of Jhon Duran's leg in a crowded box. The former Aston Villa striker was cool with his panenka penalty. Sebastian Tounekti then switched off for Bah to volley in before Auston Trusty and Celtic keeper Vijami Sinisalo contrived to let Jhon Duran score from what appeared an impossible position for the third. Celtic were desperately unlucky not to bring the game back to 2-1 before that, with Kasper Hogh hitting a post from close range before Camilo Duran curled the rebound against both the crossbar and the other post. And it would not be the last time the frame of the goal was rattled. Fredrik Aursnes nodded against a post at the other end, from what was eventually flagged an offside position, while Andreas Schjelderup and Tomas Araujo hit the woodwork in the second half, with Camilo Duran's strike against an upright in between. Fine margins in those moments - but the difference between these sides was far greater. 4: PENALTY TO BENFICA! Murray kicks Jhon Duran in the back of the leg as he goes to make a clearance in a crowded penalty area. 5: GOAL! DURAN WITH THE PANENKA! Cool as you like from the Colombian striker who dinks in the opener. 23: GOAL! It's cute from the impressive Gianluca Prestianni, who lifts a cross into the box for Bah to volley in - but it's terrible from Tounekti, who goes to sleep and allows Bah to run off him and into space to convert. 25: SIDE-NETTING! Jhon Duran fires the wrong side of the near post and Celtic are on the ropes here. 28: CELTIC SO UNLUCKY! Hogh volleys against the upright from Tounekti's cross before Camilo Duran bends a follow-up shot against the crossbar and post. 35: OFF THE POST! But the offside flag goes up. Jhon Duran meets a corner and heads it into the six-yard box but Fredrik Aursnes nodded against the post before being flagged offside. 36: GOAL! Trusty tries to show Jhon Duran away from goal but the striker hooks his foot around the ball and somehow angles an effort past Sinisalo at his near post. 63: GOAL! Camilo Duran pulls one back for the Hoops, heading in sub Haissem Hassan's cross. 72: OFF THE POST! Sub Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain feeds Camilo Duran in the box and he crashes a left-foot strike against the near upright! 74: OFF THE POST! Andreas Schjelderup now goes close for Benfica! 89: GOAL! Pavlidis runs in behind and clinically fires low into the net from the edge of the box to make it 4-1. 90: OFF THE FRAME AGAIN! Araujo heads Pavlidis' cross against the bar! Celtic boss Martin O'Neill to TNT Sports: "It's the last thing you want to do, concede so early on. At 2-0 we have a great chance to make it 2-1 and then in a few minutes they make it 3-0. We could have capitulated but I thought the second half performance was really terrific. "We created chance after chance, we should have scored more goals, and of course you're going to leave yourself a bit open at the end. But this second-half performance gives me the determination. I think we can still qualify. I know it's down to six games. We can still do it. "Overall, I'm really, really delighted with the second-half performance and it's a shame we conceded the three goals first of all." Celtic captain Callum McGregor to TNT Sports: "A disappointing result. We're here to try to get points and win but we played against a really good side, with really good quality in the final third. First half we didn't really help ourselves, in terms of the unforced errors that lead to the goal, but second half gives us a bit to hang onto in terms of performance. We scored one, could have scored another couple as well. A game of two halves."

Bournemouth's history-making season continued on Thursday as they played - and won - their first-ever home European match, beating Sturm Graz 3-0 in the Europa League. It makes it two wins from two for the competition debutants and perhaps more importantly, they held on to a lead they took towards the end of the first half - something they have been unable to do in a poor start to the Premier League. Evanilson will go down as the man who scored the first European goal at the Vitality Stadium and it was a thing of beauty. Adam Smith - captaining a team he joined in England's third tier 16 years ago - found him with a cross, with the Brazilian curling a powerful header past the goalkeeper from 15 yards out. Sturm Graz came out with intent at the start of the second half and could have equalised just after the hour. Jurgen Heil smashed the woodwork before Djorde Petrovic was needed to keep out Jacob Hodl's follow-up. But the Cherries rode the wave and doubled their lead through another Brazilian, Rayan. It was a howler from Daniil Khudyakov, whose spilled save from a corner landed to the Bournemouth forward. His low, fizzing shot then sped through the goalkeeper's outstretched hands. And in second-half added time, Bournemouth were awarded a penalty. Former Huddersfield man Jon Gorenc Stankovic was penalised for a foul on James Hill - also coming in the aftermath of a Bournemouth corner. Summer signing Alvaro Rodriguez stepped up to chip the spot kick in for his first Bournemouth goal, sealing another three points. It puts the Cherries fifth in the Europa League league phase table ahead of welcoming Ruben Amorim's AC Milan to the Vitality next Thursday. 12: CHANCE! Smith curls in a wonderful cross for the incoming Tavernier, but he's defended well as his attempt goes wide. 29: NO GOAL! The ball is in the back of the net for Bournemouth - but it's immediately ruled out for a handball against Bafode Diakate. 33: OFF THE POST!! Tavernier's curling effort hits the woodwork. 41: PENALTY?! REFEREE SAYS NO! Sturm Graz have their best attack of the half, with calls for a penalty after Beganovic goes down. He is unfairly booked after, but looked to already be losing his footing as Smith made contact. 43: GOAL! Evanilson gives Bournemouth the lead with an incredible curling header from some distance. 63: OFF THE POST! SAVE! Heil hits the post with a thunderous effort from the right, before Hodl's follow-up is stopped by Djorde Petrovic's legs. 76: GOAL! Rayan's low, hard shot beats Khudyakov after some poor goalkeeping. 90+2: PENALTY SCORED! Stankovic fouls Hill as he strikes inside the box and Bournemouth are awarded a penalty. Rodriguez scores from the spot. Bournemouth captain Adam Smith to TNT Sports : "It's been a long time coming. The fans were up for it, the players were up for it so we're very happy with the performance. "It wasn't my best cross [for Evanilson's goal], but I put it into the area and what a finish from him. It's a great header. He's deserved it because he's worked very hard this season and many more to come from him. "We deserved that bit of luck and from there, we went on to win the game. In the second half, we got a bit tired but the quality that came off the bench is great. We look forward to Sunday now." On if this can be a springboard for Bournemouth: "It was very disappointing at the weekend [against Chelsea]. We let ourselves down as players, we know that. We had a chat with each other and got a reaction today. "That's a Bournemouth performance right there, but the week is not done. We have a massive game against Sunderland and we need to get three points." Bournemouth head coach Marco Rose to TNT Sports when asked if he saw what he wanted from his team: "Yes. Performance wise, clean sheet, attitude, effort. A deserved win and now we have to continue and get consistent in this kind of thing. Sunderland is the next challenge. "I believe in this team and I know we are always confident, despite being in a difficult situation [in the Premier League]. Even today, we changed some players. "We could see that the squad is working, that everyone is keen to play, that everyone deserves to play and it's good for us for the next few weeks to have a competitive squad. "Today, we won 3-0 and it's a really good result after a good performance, but we have to prove it [consistency]. "Alvaro Rodriguez did some steps the last three weeks which began with the national break. He worked really hard individually and you could see every step and I'm quite happy that he scored. "If we stick together like this, if we have our fans then we are hard to play [against] and then it's hard to beat us. That's what we should take into the next game. It's getting tough one but it helps this kind of game, this result." Analysis from Sky Sports News' Mark McAdam at the Vitality: "Back-to-back wins in the Europa League! "Not a classic by any stretch but one that will live long in the memories for Bournemouth fans; their first ever taste of European football at the Vitality - a real moment in history. A game they dominated across the pitch from start to finish. "This needs to be the springboard for their season and their next match against Sunderland in the Premier League on Sunday. Win that and suddenly their season is off and running..."
