BRENTFORD ARE LEVEL!A long throw was hurled into the Chelsea box and it's gone through absolutely everybody.
But Fabio Carvalho was there at the back post, completely unmarked, to slam home the equaliser.
Cue absolute pandemonium inside the Gtech Community Stadium as Brentford look to have nicked a valuable point deep in stoppage time.
VAR had a very brief look at the goal to add some extra drama, but luckily for Bees fans, the goal remained intact.

HOLY DOOLEY, PICK THAT ONE OUT!
Moises Caicedo has SURELY given Chelsea all three points with an absolute rocket from the edge of the box!
The midfielder was allowed to compose himself and let rip, powering a strike past Kelleher in the Brentford net.
With just a handful of minutes left before stoppage time, that could seal a vital three points for Enzo Maresca's side.

IT JUST HAD TO BE!
Cole Palmer was the coolest man inside the Gtech Community Stadium as he slammed home the rebound from a Joao Pedro header inside the box.
It was the perfect way for the star midfielder to mark his return from injury and did so just five minutes after coming on as a substitute in place of Jamie Gittens.
With 30 minutes left to play, who will nick this one?

50 SCHADES OF KEVIN!
It's the hosts who hit the front this evening at the Gtech and boy, what a brilliant bit of work that was from Schade.
Jordan Henderson played Schade in behind and the forward did brilliantly from there.
He drove with the ball and only had Tosin Adarabioyo in front of him.
And the Chelsea defender had no answer, as Schade slotted the ball between his legs and into the back of the net to put the Bees in front.

What a win by Tottenham!
The VAR drama might rumble on a little bit, but the real takeaway should be how Thomas Frank has this Spurs side purring.
The same cannot be said for Graham Potter, who is beginning to come under real pressure in the West Ham hotseat.
Tonight's result leaves them in the bottom-three, with just three points earned from their opening four games.

Game, set, match.
It's a striker's finish from Van de Ven!
For some reason the centre-back is standing right on the penalty spot and ready to pounce after Bergvall lost the ball in the box.
And it's a lovely finish to sweep the ball into the bottom-corner.
Four West Ham defenders around him, and they all seemed to freeze as they watched the defender score.
This is turning into a proper hammering.

Seconds after Soucek being sent down the tunnel, and Spurs are two-up.
And what a goal it is!
A long ball forward - dare I say Virgil van Dijk esque?
They're right up against it here.

West Ham are down to ten men, and you can't argue against that.
The Czech midfielder has stretched out to try and get something on the ball, and in doing so has raked his studs down the leg of Paulinha.
Fortunately for the Portuguese, the challenge was right where his shin pads were, so he's not badly hurt.
But he's torn right through his sock - which shows how dangerous it could have been.

Spurs go in front, and this one will definitely stand.
The midfielder is completely unmarked in the penalty area as a corner comes in.
He's at the back post completely on his own - it's zonal marking gone wrong.
And Sarr makes no mistake as he fires a bullet header past Hermansen.
That'll perk up O'Hara!

Ven de Ven did have his hands on Walker-Peters, and it did mean the West Ham defender wasn't able to stop Romero - the man he was marking - to head the ball in.
HOWEVER, replays show that West Ham goalkeeper Mads Hermansen pushed Van de Ven, which sparked a domino effect.
Hermansen pushes Van de Ven, Van de Ven then puts his weight on Walker-Peters to stop himself from falling over, which then topples the West Ham defender to the floor.
Depending on the result, this one could be debated for a while.
Even Spurs midfielder James Maddison has had a pop at the referee over it...

Fabian Hurzeler has told talkSPORT Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba had his head turned by his links with a summer move to Manchester United.
The Seagulls star was a target for the Red Devils in the transfer window, but the south coast refused to sell.
He was benched for today's game against Bournemouth, with James Milner starting instead, and did not make a very good impression when he was subbed on late in the game.
And after the 2-1 defeat, Hurzeler admitted Baleba has been 'affected' by the transfer talk.
"I think it's normal for a young player when the media creates the noise around him," said the Brighton boss.
"It's not easy for this player to handle it.
But it's just noise we don't need."

Oh dear Leeds!
Proper player.
The Aston Villa full-back has taken a knee (or a boot?) to the head - which has given him a golf ball-sized swelling right above his eye.
But he's a tough nut to crack and he's playing on like nothing has happened.
Fair play!
Everton fans have been booing his every touch so far - to be expected for the former Toffee.
And there are even more boos now, as ex-Liverpool man Harvey Elliott has come off the bench for his Villa debut.

Semenyo puts the hosts back in front from the penalty spot.
It was a bit of a soft call for the pen, with Jan Paul van Hecke penalised for tripping Evanilson.
But it was one of those where VAR was never going to overturn the referee's decision.
Semenyo steps up and strokes his shot low through the middle of the goal.
No messin'.

Completely against the run of play, this one, but Brighton are back in it straight after the re-start.
A deep cross is sent into the area and nobody has picked up Mitoma at the back-post.
Why, is a good question, considering his goal record from the Seagulls.
And he shows why he's such a key asset for them with a neat downwards header.
Lots of questions being asked in the Bournemouth penalty area, but it's all-square!

A dream debut for Toon's new star striker!
First chance and first goal for the young German.
He loses his marker brilliantly in the box to rise to Jacob Murphy's cross, and it's a superb towering header from the £69million signing.
How's that for an introduction!
"Isak's gone, the new man is here!" - talkSPORT reporter Mark Wilson live from St James' Park.
