That’s all for today, folks. Having been clock-watching in every sense of the word, we’re going to call it a day and head off for a well-earned beverage. Scott Murray has the latest from the late game between Brighton and Burnley at the Amex Stadium, where Chris Wood has just given the visitors the lead.

Match report: Atletico Madrid 1-3 Real Madrid

La Liga: Sid Lowe was at the Wanda Metropolitano to see Atletico beaten on their own patch by their bitter city rivals.

Jack Clarke update: There were concerns for the welfare of Leeds midfielder Jack Clarke earlier, after he collapsed while watching the second half of his side’s match against Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium earlier today.

The teenager had played the first half for Leeds and been substituted at half-time, but fell ill with eight minutes of the match remaining and was treated by paramedics before being taken to the dressing-room and on to hospital. He was reported to be conscious and breathing normally before going to hospital and spent the afternoon undergoing tests in a Teesside hospital.

The break in play for Clarke’s treatment led to 12 minutes of added time and in the 100th minute, Clarke’s team-mate Kalvin Phillips cancelled out Middlesbrough’s opener, which had been scored by Lewis Wing.

GOAL! Huddersfield 0-1 Arsenal (Iwobi 16)

Premier League: Alex Iwobi puts Arsenal in front on what could be another long afternoon for Huddersfield. Interestingly, or predictably, depending on your point of view, Mesut Ozil didn’t make the long journey north with Arsenal, as he’s been struck down with that ailment he invariably suffers from when Arsenal are playing a bad team far away from London.

More from the Riverside: Leeds midfielder Jack Clarke has gone to hospital after being taken ill in the dug-out and treated by paramedics. The 18-year-old started for Leeds but was taken off at half-time.

“What we know is that he didn’t feel well,” said Marcelo Bielsa. “We don’t know the reasons yet. But when he was taken to the dressing room he was better. He was taken to hospital to see if he is alright.”

Premier League: Ed Aarons is at Vicarage Road for the Guardian and brings us this early news on a day when many Watford fans are waving (toy) snakes at their former manager Marco Silva on his return with Everton.

Scottish Cup fifth round

The Scottish Premiership takes the weekend off so the 16 teams left in the cup can do battle.
