Match report: Stoke City 1-2 Swansea City
Premier League: Stuart James was there for the Guardian to see Stoke consign Swansea City to the bottom of the Premier League. Here is his on-the-whistle report.
Another Swansea defeat - on a day that Stoke were there for the taking. Leroy Fer's part in Stoke's first goal was appalling. Defending not much better for the second. As for Jordan Ayew, a lack of effort to go with a lack of quality today.

GOAL! Brighton 1-5 Liverpool
Premier League: Lewis Dunk scores into his own net, involuntarily getting on the end of a Philippe Coutinho cross to extend Liverpool’s lead. It was unfortunate for the Brighton defender, who has been enjoying a good season. I reckon Chris Hughton is unlikely to slam Dunk in his post-match interview.

An email from Jeremy Dresner: “It is spicy and fiesty over at Watford v Tottenham,” he says. “Plenty of space down the Watford left side and Erickson fed Son with a low curling cross and Son tapped home for Tottenham. Watford are leaving gaps Tottenham look low on confidence in defence and full of intent upfront. More goals to come one would think.”

GOAL! Leicester City 1-0 Burnley
Premier League: Demarai Gray clatters into the post as he bravely puts Leicester City ahead against Burnley. Riyad Mahrez had crossed into the penalty area, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope tipped the ball away and Gray showed courage to fling himself at the ball despite knowing he’d whack the upright.

Word reaches us that Crystal Palace goalkeeper Wayne Hennessey has been injured in the warm-up and will not start. Julian Speroni will take his place and Palace will only have five subs – and no goalkeeping cover – on the bench.
