West Ham vs Aston Villa live updates! — By Joe Prince-Wright

Almost a hat trick for Rogers!

He surges into the box on the left and has a pop across goal which he drags just wide. Could he have squared it? Probably not.

Rogers smashes home from distance!

What a goal from Villa's star man at the moment. Rogers has so much space centrally and his dipping, bending effort flies past Areola and in. For the first time in the game Villa lead with just 10 minutes to go.

Bowen with a fine finish... but he’s offside

Paqueta plays in Bowen really well and he tries to hold his run. He smashes home across goal and thinks he has given West Ham the lead. But the offside flag is up and VAR confirms the decision. He was just offside.

Malen forces a good stop from Areola!

Donyell Malen has just come on and is already causing problems. He wriggles free of a few challenges and spanks a shot on goal which is dipping and swerving. Areola can only push it away and West Ham clear. It's all Villa at the moment.

Rogers equalizes!

Paqueta is caught on the ball and Tielemans whips in a lovely cross for Rogers. He has so much time to control the ball and then calmly slot home to make it 2-2.

Half time: West Ham 2-1 Aston Villa

Really entertaining first half at

Rogers curls a beauty just over

Villa have dominated the ball before half time and Morgan Rogers gets free on the left. He cuts inside and curls a stunner just over the bar. That was very close to being 2-2.

Bowen deflects a shot home to give West Ham the lead!

A volley towards goal from Potts is flicked on by Jarrod Bowen instinctively and it flies in. After a quick VAR check for a potential offside, the goal stands and West Ham have the lead again. Lovely cross from Diouf down the left to cause the chaos.

Mavropanos heads into his own net!

A brilliant cross from McGinn on the right is heading towards Watkins but the ball flicks off Mavropanos and flies past his own goalkeeper. 1-1. What a start!

The Hammers lead!

What a start for West Ham as Mateus Fernandes scores with 29 seconds on the clock. That is the fastest goal of the season so far, and Ezri Konsa was at fault for Villa at the back.

Areola; Wan-Bissaka, Todibo, Mavropanos, Diouf; Fernandes, Magassa, Potts; Paqueta, Bowen, Summerville

A banner day for Regis Le Bris and Sunderland will prove a new challenge for their Wear-Tyne derby rivals as Eddie Howe and Newcastle were dropped 1-0 by the Black Cats at the Stadium of Light.

The first Premier League match-up of the rivals in nearly a decade saw the lone goal coming via a Nick Woltemade own goal, but Le Bris won't care as the Manager of the Year candidate outfoxed Howe and continues to make his case as a wizard.

Sunderland not only stays above Newcastle on the table but they grow their lead over their neighbors, who lost a late lead in the UEFA Champions League at midweek in Germany.

How will Le Bris and Howe react to this game? The manners will be quite different, we imagine, especially after the Black Cats dodged a red card in the first half.

Burnley vs Fulham final score, updates: 2-3

Emile Smith Rowe 9', Lesley Ugochukwu 22', Calvin Bassey 30', Harry Wilson 58', Oliver Sonne 86'

Oliver Sonne goal — Burnley 2-3 Fulham

Calvin Bassey can only half-divert Hartman's cross from the left, and Sonne settles it with his chest to slot inside the far post and get Burnley back within one in the 86th minute.

Burnley subs

Lyle Foster and Florentino are off for Marcus Edwards and Ziann Flemming.

Harry Wilson goal — Burnley 1-3 Fulham

It's his day.

Smith Rowe leads a charge down the middle and moves it out wide to Samu Chukwueze, who opts against Antonee Robinson's overlapping run and sweeps the ball to the other side of the 18.

Wilson settles it, eyes up the far corner and drops the ball into it.

Halftime — Burnley 1-2 Fulham

Neutrals will have loved a lot about the 12-shot, 2.95 combined expected goal first half.

Burnley have probably been a bit better, as Ugochukwu looks electric, but Fulham have twice scored off corner kick routines (and their reloads).

Leno with a brilliant save

Ugochukwu takes down a cross in style, the bounds a low hard shot for the far corner only to be undone by the diving Leno.

Calvin Bassey goal — Burnley 1-2 Fulham

The Cottagers' big Nigerian back delivers a second goal.

Harry Wilson's corner is blocked but he darts back onside and reaches the reloaded effort.

His cross finds Calvin Bassey, who created space with a shoulder to Axel Tuanzebe. It's a close-range header for 2-1.

Wilson with two assists.

Lesley Ugochukwu goal — Burnley 1-1 Fulham

Really smart finish as Ugochukwu gets his goal with this chance.

Josh Cullen finds the French-born midfielder in stride and Ugochukwu surprises by snapping his first touch inside the nfar post.

Fun goal.

Burnley nearly answer!

Lesley Ugochukwu gets into the box and would be level at one if not for a surging block from Bernd Leno.

Emile Smith Rowe goal — Burnley 0-1 Fulham

Quilindschy Hartman has been quite good for Burnley his season but he was very poor here.

Harry Wilson sweeps in a low corner kick and Hartman simply has to knock it out of play for another corner.

Instead he misses the ball and Smith Rowe simply needs to direct it toward the gaping goal mouth.

Burnley lineup

Dubravka, Hartman, Esteve, Tuanzebe, Ekdal, Ugochukwu, Bruun Larsen, Florentino, Cullen, Foster, Broja

Fulham lineup

Leno, Tete, Andersen, Bassey, Robinson, Berge, Iwobi, Wilson, Smith Rowe, Chukwueze, Raul

Burnley vs Fulham preview

Parker played for Fulham from 2013-17 and was their manager from 2019-2021, getting the Cottagers promoted to the Premier League in 2020. He's since boosted Bournemouth and Burnley last season to the top flight.

He'll have little time to truly enjoy the occasion if things go poorly, as Burnley have lost six successive Premier League matches after starting with an acceptable 3W-1D-5L record. And the losses have not told the same tale. There are three home losses without a goal scored, but they've also taken West Ham to the limit in a 3-2 loss and fought through a red card last week before falling 2-1 at Newcastle.

Fulham enter in no great shakes either, though. It's been fits, starts, and streaks for Marco Silva this season. They've twice won back-to-back games but followed the first pair with four-straight losses and have fallen 5-4 to Man City and 2-1 to Crystal Palace after the second two-win run.

On paper Fulham are favorites to get all three points, and Silva knows he's got a run of Festive Fixtures which give the Cottagers a chance to move up the table; Nottingham Forest visits next, followed by games at West Ham and Crystal Palace.

OUT: Axel Tuanzebe (unspecified), Lucas Pires (suspension), Kyle Walker (suspension), Zeki Amdouni (knee), Jordan Beyer (knee), Connor Roberts (knee), Bashir Humphreys (muscular)

Burnley v Fulham prediction

Injuries and suspensions have hit Burnley hard at the moment, and the club is relying on veteran goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to keep them in games. Fulham do not have a powerful attack but have been improved of late. Burnley 1-2 Fulham.

Mohamed Salah is back in the Liverpool squad as they host Brighton at Anfield on Sunday.

LIVE — Liverpool v Brighton

After Arne Slot held talks with Salah on Friday, the superstar has been recalled to the Liverpool matchday squad after being left out for the trip to Inter Milan in midweek.

Salah, 33, was dropped after his incredible outburst last weekend as he responded angrily to being a substitute for three games in a row and claimed that he had 'no relationship' with Slot and he was 'being thrown under the bus' by the club amid Liverpool's poor form.

Before the game Arne Slot was asked if he is happy with the current situation with Mohamed Salah.

"Yes of course, otherwise I would have done probably differently," Slot said. "He's back in the squad and on the bench today."

The Egyptian King is heading to the Africa Cup of Nations this weekend to captain Egypt, so this will be his final chance to appear for Liverpool in 2025.

It could also be his final ever appearance for Liverpool, as his future at the club remains uncertain and the January transfer window opens in just a few weeks.
