All five Premier League games slated for an 8:30pm start have begun. Let's see how each of them pans out.
Cole Palmer hands Chelsea the lead against Wolves in the 13th minute. Matt Doherty carelessly fouls Joao Pedro inside the box and Palmer sends Jose Sa the wrong way with his penalty.
At Turf Moor, the Hammers are two the good courtesy Crysencio Summerville's opener in the 13th minute, followed by Valentin Castellanos' strike in the 26th. Mateus Fernandes set it up for Summerville and the latter beat Burnley goalie Martin Dubravka with a chip. El Hadji Malick Diouf then crosses superbly to Castellanos, who heads home to make it 2-0.
It's a hat-trick for Cole Palmer! Barely three minutes after converting his second penalty of the night in the 35th minute, the English midfielder makes the most of Marc Cucurella's ball to make it 3-0 in the 38th and potentially seal three points for the Blues.
League leaders Arsenal strike in the 42nd minute against Sunderland, via Martin Zubimendi. Leandro Trossard presents the assist and Zubimendi responds with a sizzling shot past Robin Roefs.
At Craven Cottage, Fulham are up 1-0 against Everton thanks to an own goal by Vitalii Mykolenko, though Raul Jimenez was the protagonist. West Ham continue to lead Burnley 2-0, and Cole Palmer's hat-trick keeps Chelsea within touching distance of three points against Wolves. Zubimendi's 42nd-minute goal separates Arsenal and Sunderland, and Morgan Rogers' 22nd-minute opener means Aston Villa lead Bournemouth 1-0.
The mid-game intervals end and the second half has kicked off at all five concurrent Premier League encounters.
Tolu Arokodare pulls one back for Wolves in the 54th minute. It's a nice finish on the turn from the Nigerian striker, who makes the scoreline 3-1 against Chelsea.
The Gunners are well on their way to a lead-extending three points, as Viktor Gyokeres finds the back of the net in the 66th minute against Sunderland. Kai Havertz comes up with the assist and the Swedish forward does the rest!
Another one for Viktor Gyokeres, and now Arsenal have sealed their three points for sure! A probing run from Gabriel Martinelli leads to a simple finish in front of goal for Gyokeres for a stoppage-time goal.
Arsenal complete a 3-0 blanking of Sunderland to go nine points clear at the top ahead of Manchester City, who have a game in hand. Chelsea beat Wolves 3-1 thanks to Cole Palmer's hat-trick; West Ham prevail 2-0 over Burnley; Everton edge past Fulham 2-1 and Aston Villa, Bournemouth play out a 1-1 draw.
