Right, that concludes a big day, at Coventry mostly. Thanks for reading. There’s more here.
Here’s a roundup of the afternoon in Germany.
Bundesliga results
Bayer Leverkusen 1-2 Hoffenheim
Eintracht Frankfurt 4-1 Werder Bremen
Freiburg 1-3 Augsburg
Union Berlin 2-1 Stuttgart
Heidenheim 1-3 Wolfsburg
Yet another home win – dividend forecast low – and Will Unwin was at Burnley to see it.
Ben Bloom saw anothe home win, this time for Brentford over troubled Villa.
Ben Fisher was at the Vitality to see Bournemouth’s home win.
Transfer latest, as expected.
A familiar look to the top division in Scotland, despite Hearts’ comeback.

Full-time: Burnley 2-0 Sunderland
Scott Parker lands the first win of the season and another clean sheet. Owner Alan Pace, baseball-capped in the crowd, looks delighted.
Updated
Southampton have lost for the first time this season. Mark Robins’ Stoke have won their first three and top the Championship.
Full-time: Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Hell of a result for the Keith Andrews experiment. Villa with one point from two matches, grumble with disappointment. Keith is low on smiles, his face full of determination before he eventually beams. Dango Ouatarra got the goal on his home debut.
Final score: Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Marcus Tavernier’s early goal won it, and a decent defensive display from Andoni Iraola’s team, aided by Toti’s red landed a 1-0 win.
Birmingham’s unbeaten start to the season continues with a 1-0 defeat of Oxford, 27 unbeaten at home. Paik Seung-ho got the goal.
Full-time: Coventry 7-1 QPR
Richard Kone started a comeback for QPR but the ref blows up before it can happen. Big win for Coventry; they will remember this day of all days. QPR look in danger of sinking fast
Updated
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Late goals sank Bournemouth last season, but this time, against 10 men, they look comfortable enough. Wolves’ start to the season has been bad. Not West Ham bad, but bad.
Goal! Burnley 2-0 Sunderland (Anthony, 88)
Oh dear, Sunderland. Their season in the sun may have only lasted one match. Josh Cullen laid on the goal for Anthony for a fine finish.
Updated
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Ouatarra comes off, Rico Henry comes on, another good news story on a good day for Brentford. Maybe we should trust the process, as good a manager as Tom Frank is. Villa have struggled to find a way.
And here is James Humphries: “Should’ve kept my big mouth shut; three-all at tynecastle (from hearts being three down, and all), in what I imagine will get described as a great game for the neutral. I, in contrast, have had my chips well and truly p*ssed on.”
Southampton have one back – Taylor Harwood-Bellis got it against Stoke. Josh Sargent has also got one for Norwich against Middlesbrough. Both games at 1-2.
In Scotland: Celtic are 3-0 up on Livi, while the kiss of death James Humphries worked its magic: it’s 3-3 between Hearts and Motherwell.
The goals are flying in: Sheffield Wednesday have come back against Wrexham, and it’s 2-2. Such spirit for the Owls. Stoke are now 2-0 up on Southampton: despite 10 men.
Updated
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Keith’s boys are hanging on, though it’s all Villa. Jordan Henderson has tired, and been subbed off. Feels like a huge 20 minutes or so for both clubs.
Updated
Team news and the buildup to Arsenal v Leeds here, with Scott Murray.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
Jose Sa has just kept Wolves in the game with a fine save from Tyler Adams. Adam Smith was the subject of a penalty claim for Wolves, waved away by VAR.
Ryan Mason is showing he can be the real deal as manager – by being sent off. He demanded a last-man red card. He got one of his own. Still WBA 1-1 Portsmouth.
Burnley 1-0 Sunderland
“We have a little delay here because the floodlights keep flashing, which is causing a distraction.”
The game has now resumed, thanks to natural light, a rarity in Burnley quite a lot of the time.
Coventry 7 (Seven)-0 QPR (Torp, 47)
We want 10? 8-0 is the Championship record. QPR a shambles.
Stoke are down to ten men, their forward Mubama is booked for a second yellow when diving beyond Gavin Bazunu, the Southampton goalkeeper. Stoke lead 1-0 still.
Drew Lundgren: “It’s almost two weeks into the season. This is getting ridiculous. Are they going to get to do two back to back or something? Everyone hates league football and adores international breaks... Just sayin’.”
There’s one in two weeks, Drew.
James Humphries gets in touch: “Hopefully not putting the hex on it, but Super Well have just gone two up at Tynecastle, where I was fairly sure we were going to cop a hiding. Wee Tawanda Maswanhise got the second - he’s a really exciting player, so the highlights should be worth a watch. Up the well!”
Woe for Norwich as Jacob Wright is dismissed for a lunge, and it looks a long way back from 2-0 down to Middlesbrough. Stoke and Boro back in the Premier League?
Mark Robins, a fine manager and man – his Stoke team are winning 1-0 at Southampton after a goal from Lewis Baker.
West Brom 1-1 Portsmouth, Colby Bishop equalises straight after a near-miss for the Baggies.
Celtic have an early second-half lead: Benjamin Nygren gets it against Livingston.
Updated
Goal! Burnley 1-0 Sunderland (Josh Cullen, 47)
Another rousing Scott Parker half-time team talk. There is a VAR delay, but Cullen’s ever so slightly deflected shot counts.
Updated
Red card for Wolves - Toti
A push on Evanilson and he can have few complaints, denial of a goalscoring opportunity.

Back underway...
And it’s Coventry 6-0 QPR, Viktor Torp scoring it.
An earlier cry for help from Jeremy Boyce: “We are doomed, Swindon 1 - 0 up and 5 shots on target, not even 10 minutes gone...”

Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Ollie Watkins has gone close for Villa, where the set play rules OK.
Up in Scotland, it’s still Celtic 0-0 Livingston. All is not well with King Brendan.
Norwich are suddenly 2-0 down to Middlebrough in the Championship. Tommy Conway follows up the opener from Finn Azaz.
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Damsgaard has the ball in the net but Nathan Collins is penalised for a foul from a Kayode throw. Boos as it’s ruled out.
It’s 5-0 Coventry against QPR, the second week in a row Cov have scored five.
Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves
New Wolves £12.5m signing Jackson Tchatchoua with Ki-Jana (Song For) Hoever leaving the field.
Frank Lampard’s Coventry are 4-0 up on QPR on this gala day for City. Jack Rudoni got the third, Haji Wright the fourth. Could the former Ricoh be a Premier League ground next season?
Will Unwin is at Burnley v Sunderland, goalless so far: “Granit Xhaka has just passed the ball straight to the advertising hoardings. This is what I came for.”
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
Kelleher is suddenly being kept busy, asked to save shots from Tielemans and then McGinn. Villa finding their wind at last.
Oh, Sheffield Wednesday, losing 2-0 to Wrexham, Kieffer Moore tapping in after a goalkeeping error from Ethan Horvath, who has had a nightmare there.
Updated
From those earlier kick-offs, Yara El-Shaboury was at the Valley to see embattled Leicester claim an important win.
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
All Brentford. Villa fans unhappy, just as they have been with the summer. This would be a huge win for Keith Andrews.
In the Championship, Mikey “Jinky” Johnston, who almost joined Flamengo in the summer, has just scored for West Brom against Portsmouth. Ryan Mason, having cut the cord with West Brom, is doing great at the Hawthorns.
Frank Lampard’s Coventry are now 2-0 up on QPR, Brendan Thomas-Assante on the mark.
Burnley 0-0 Sunderland
Lyall Thomas had the ball in the net for Burnley. The referee has given the foul, and VAR backs the referee’s call. Burnley will argue that was a 50-50 incident.
Updated
Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa
That was a familiar type of Brentford goal for Ouatarra to score, his pace was lightning in the role that was once Bryan Mbeumo’s. More bad news for Villa, Kamara off, and Buendia comes on.
Updated
Wrexham lead Sheffield Wednesday, and Kieffer Moore, recovered from injury scores.

Goal! Brentford 1-0 Aston Villa (Ouatarra, 13)
The new man scores. Thiago flicks on, and Ouatarra speeds on and finishes. Oh dear, Villa.

In the Championship, Coventry, now in charge of their own stadium, are 1-0 up on QPR. Haji Wright got it. Preston are beating Ipswich 1-0, with Osmajic winning a penalty and converting himself.
Burnley 0-0 Sunderland
Bad news for Sunderland as Daniel Ballard, such a big player for them, pulls up with a groin problem. That’s it for him today, and he will be replaced.
Goal! Bournemouth 1-0 Wolves (Tavernier, 4)
They had started brightly. Tyler Adams to Semenyo, and Tavernier’s shot is deflected in off Agbadou.
Updated
The first goals of the afternoon go in: Ethan Wheatley scores for Northampton against Exeter, and Lincoln’s Freddie Draper has scored at Bolton.
We are go in the 3pm kick-offs
The whistles sound around the grounds….
Jeremy Boyce gets in touch: “As you say, the table is embryonic, but actually this afternoon’s remaining fixtures could see any one of three teams go top overnight. A 2 - 0 for Sunderland would be enough for them, and it could happen with Burnley’s impregnable defence from last season in tatters and Le Bris’s boys brimming with joy and confidence, for now. Then either Arsenal or Leeds would need a hatful to depose them. As a Leeds fan obviously I’m dreaming, and very glad Eze doesn’t seem to be featuring just yet.
“Having grown up watching Shrewsbury Town, I’m mostly wondering whether they are actually the 91st worst team in the League, or the 92nd. Can’t see us getting any joy at “Magic Roundabout” Swindon, so Cheltenham’s home fixture v low-flying Barnet may give us the answer.”

Result: Manchester City 0-2 Tottenham: Thomas Frank really is an excellent manager.
For Bournemouth, the team that started at Anfield last Friday will do for Andoni Iraola. Ben Doak signed from Liverpool, and Amine Adli, the new Moroccan winger, are substitutes, as are fit again Justin Kluivert and Ryan Christie, two stars of last season.
Just one change for Wolves at a stadium they won last season in February, despite being gubbed 4-0 by crisis club Manchester City. In comes Jhon Arias for Andre.
For Burnley, in come Jacob Bruun Larsen and Lesley Oguchukwu, the former Chelsea player, who makes his first competitive start, come in for Oliver Sonne and Josh Laurent.
For Sunderland, Omar Alderete comes in for his full Premier League debut, replacing Jenson Seelt.
From Brentford’s Gtech:
Beautiful weather in west London this afternoon, but there’s a suspiciously grim smell in one corner of the media room. I won’t reveal which Aston Villa legend is sat in close proximity to the offending region...
The team news headline is there’s still no Yoane Wissa in the Brentford squad, despite him taking part in first-team training this week. The hosts look considerably stronger than last weekend though, with Mikkel Damsgaard back available, and first starts for Dango Ouattara and Jordan Henderson. Emi Martinez returns in goal for Villa.

Preamble
The Premier League is back, and all three 3pm kick-offs have the look of important matches. Bournemouth looked mustard in attack against Liverpool, less so in defence, while Wolves were prized apart by nu-Manchester City. Burnley’s fabled defence was a horror story in losing 3-0 at Tottenham while Sunderland lived the dream against West Ham. After last night, was that such a brilliant result? Brentford had their own nightmare last week in losing 3-1 at new crisis club Nottingham Forest and now face PSR-problematic Aston Villa, a club forced to sell to buy, and fans dissatisfied at the rulebook.
There’s no such thing as gentle beginning in the Premier League. All the latest from those matches, plus news from the EFL and the Bundesliga.
