Bournemouth v Liverpool, Newcastle v Fulham, and more: football – live

Full time is approaching but the deals are still coming in thick and fast:

Most of these Premier League games, other than the one at Bournemouth, are now into added time. Newcastle and Ipswich are chasing goals to avoid home defeats.

League One: It looks like Steven Schumacher’s Bolton tenure is about to start with a painful defeat, as Reading snatch the lead late on through Harvey Knibbs’ penalty.

Elsewhere, Wrexham have seen their 1-0 lead, clinched so early on, wiped out by Crawley’s Bradley Ibrahim.

Walsall have done it, it’s 2-2 against Salford!

Leeds have a sixth against Cardiff.

And Burnley … still haven’t scored, or conceded, at Portsmouth.

GOAL! Ipswich 1-2 Southampton (Onuachu, 88)

An email from Colum Fordham, who is watching Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool”:

The subs on both sides of the Bournemouth-Liverpool clash are making their presence felt. Tavernier hitting the woodwork and Conor Bradley making driving runs for the Reds. But of course it’s the old hand Mo Salah – I do hope they renew his contract – who really makes the difference. Makes the difficult things look so sublimely simple. Kluivert Jr please take note.

League One: Some big goals have just gone in at the top of the table. Birmingham’s Jay Stansfield now has two goals as the Blues lead Rotherham 2-1 while Wycombe, down to 10 men, have been pegged back by Cambridge – 1-1 there.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-2 Fulham (Muniz, 82)

Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool: Will there be a twist in the tale here? Bournemouth haven’t stopped trying, that’s for sure. They just keep running into a brick wall, otherwise known as the Liverpool back four.

Scottish Premiership: It’s now 5-0 to Hearts at Dundee, and Hibs lead Aberdeen 2-0. Seems Jimmy Thelin is not the messiah after all. St. Johnstone are 1-0 up at St. Mirren. All of which means Dundee United could go five points clear in third if they win at Kilmarnock later … Simon McMahon

League Two: Walsall are facing a third successive defeat. Salford now lead 2-0 at the Bescot. A major wobble at the top of the fourth tier?

Oh hang on, Danny Johnson has just prodded one back for the Saddlers. It’s 2-1.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool (Salah, 75)

Championship: Hull were leading 1-0 but Stoke have turned the tables on Humberside with Andrew Moran making it 2-1 – it’s a big game that one, with both clubs hovering above the drop zone.

Liverpool have introduced Darwin Nunez and Conor Bradley, with Cody Gakpo and Trent Alexander-Arnold replaced. It’s been a real battle for the visitors on the south coast this afternoon.

And Marcus Tavernier has rattled the woodwork for Bournemouth! So so close.

If you get a chance to watch Brandon Thomas-Asante’s lob for Coventry at Swansea this afternoon, please do. An outrageous effort and a contender for Championship goal of the season, surely.

Frank Lampard’s side have dominated the Swans so far and are 2-0 to the good.

Leeds got a fourth via Joel Piroe’s penalty and now they have a fifth from substitute Willy Gnonto! 5-0 with 23 minutes left. Damage limitation time for Cardiff.

How may he assist you?

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool: Arne Slot wisely removes Mac Allister, who was treading a disciplinary tightrope, with Curtis Jones on instead.

Can the Cherries find a way back here?

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Fulham (Jiménez, 61)

Bournemouth fans are incensed. First they want a second yellow for Mac Allister for a needless kick-out, then their appeals for handball are ignored by Darren England. Nothing going for the Cherries at the minute.

Another underrated manager shout comes from Tim Stappard:

Sam Allardyce at Bolton is the most underrated manager in the EPL. Revolutionary.

League One: Birmingham’s record signing Jay Stansfield has hit a vital goal to level against Rotherham, while Charlton now lead 2-0 at Stevie Bruce’s Blackpool.

League Two: Crewe have hit back to make it 1-1 at Harrogate while the 10 men of Port Vale have restored their advantage against Accrington – 2-1 at Vale Park.

Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool hasn’t been brilliant viewing since the break. Liverpool haven’t got going at all, actually, which is offering the Cherries hope – but they the hosts been too fluent either. They are huffing and puffing.

Is Moyes the Prem’s most underrated manager? I’d stick Tony Pulis in that bracket, never very popular due to footballing aesthetics but mightily effective for a long time. The problem is, like politicians, most managerial tenures are bound to end in failure.

Everton 3-0 Leicester means plenty are taking pleasure in seeing David Moyes strutting his stuff on Merseyside once more, including emailer David Hindle:

David Moyes is one of the most hard-done-by managers around. The (mindless) abuse he has taken over the years was shameful. So I was delighted when he won a European trophy with West Ham and seeing him getting Everton going like this makes me feel warm and fuzzy.

An update from Scotland via Simon McMahon:

Afternoon Dominic. Lawrence Shankland and Blair Spittal, both former Dundee United players, have put Hearts 2-0 up against Dundee at Dens, much to the delight of the home fans I’m sure. Aberdeen, without a win in 150 15 games, are trailing 2-0 to Hibs. Dundee United, still in third despite a recent poor run and with new signing Allan Campbell in the squad, travel to Kilmarnock in the teatime kickoff.

Thanks as always, Simon.

Game over at Elland Road? Former Swansea boy Daniel James makes it 3-0 for Leeds against Cardiff. And there was me thinking that could be tight and tetchy, given the Bluebirds’ recent uptick in form.

Ben Brereton Diaz is back in the Championship, back at Sheffield United and – guess what? – back scoring goals. Is he the modern day Darren Huckerby/Cameron Jerome/Dwight Gayle/David Nugent? You catch my drift. Answers on a postcard please.

Derby 0-1 Sheffield United.

Most of the games are back under way now. Some fascinating second halves are in store.

Bundesliga: Harry Kane has bagged a brace for Bayern Munich who are 4-1 up at home to Holsten Kiel and in position to cement their lead at the top of the table.

Dortmund lead Heidenheim 2-1 as new manager Nico Kovac prepares to take charge from tomorrow onwards. But there’s still a few minutes for them to hang on.

Some helpful tweets re: the EFL.

Quick goals! Quicker goals! The quickest of goals!

Fulham have been rather toothless at Newcastle in a low-quality game lit up by Jacob Murphy’s goal. Marco Silva’s side must do more.

Ipswich should be favourites to stroll past Southampton in the second half – they certainly need to if they’re to kickstart their survival bid. Saints have been very open in midfield.

The whistle has gone at the Vitality. Liverpool lead 1-0 at the interval.

This is by no means done and dusted as a contest. David Brooks had the ball in the Reds’ net and, for me, there ought to be question marks over that penalty call. You’ve seen them given but it was a tad soft; minimal contact.

You wouldn’t bet against Bournemouth launching a comeback in the second half but equally, Salah and co look primed to fire in more goals.

Ironically, I received the following email from Gary Naylor just before that goal went in.

I know you can score a goal too early, but can you score two goals too early? Yes, only an Evertonian, I know.

No you cannot, Gary. But what a revelation Beto has been this afternoon! His finishing has been razor-sharp and he’s taking his opportunity.

GOAL! Everton 3-0 Leicester (Beto, 45)

The half-time whistles are beginning to sound around the country. I won’t run through every single scoreline – there are apps and data-bots for such things – but I’ll sum up the main headlines.

More on Burnley: They’ve had nine goalless draws this season – NINE! It could be become 10 if it stays this way at Fratton Park.

Championship: In a big surprise to absolutely no one, Burnley’s goal hasn’t been troubled by struggling Portsmouth. To be fair, the Clarets haven’t conceded a league goal since 21 December.

Stoke have levelled at Hull City courtesy of a Ali Al-Hamadi strike.

Some Liverpool-related emails have pinged into my inbox:

Kári Tulinius: “I’m watching with a couple of Liverpool fans, and they think that if their club beats Bournemouth, they’ll be halfway to the title. That says a lot about where the Cherries are these days.”

On the penalty, Drew Lundgren says: “No contact, but it’s Liverpool, so absolutely no chance VAR overturns.”

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Fulham (Murphy, 37)

Bournemouth thought they had an equaliser! It was David Brooks who latched onto a ball through to finish sweetly, but the flag went up pretty quickly. Of course, it will be checked by the computermen …

It was eventually confirmed by VAR. Kerkez was the man offside in the buildup.

Newcastle 0-0 Fulham: There hasn’t been much to talk about at St James’ Park but Sandro Tonali has just leathered an effort off the crossbar. The Italian has really hit his straps of late and that Newcastle midfield looks quite formidable. Eddie Howe’s side are slowly turning the screw, hunting for a goal before the break.

League Two: The goals have arrived in the fourth tier, one going in for in-form Doncaster against MK Dons and one going against in-form Crewe, for Harrogate. Tranmere trail 2-0 at home to Colchester.

GOAL! Ipswich 1-1 Southampton (Delap, 31)

Championship: Millwall have restored their lead over QPR through Luke Cundle, 2-1.

Coventry lead at Swansea, Hull are in front at home to Stoke.

There aren’t many goals going in elsewhere.

GOAL! Bournemouth 0-1 Liverpool (Salah, 29)

Penalty to Liverpool! Gakpo is tripped in the box and Darren England doesn’t have much hesitation in pointing to the spot. VAR will check it mind you …
