Brentford get things rolling at the Gtech as they host Nottingham Forest, Crystal Palace kick off against Chelsea at Selhurst Park, and it’s a roaring start at St James’ Park where Newcastle welcome Aston Villa. Three grounds, three very different battles, ninety minutes of chaos loading.

Against the run of play, Forest strike first at the Gtech. Igor Jesus pops up on the right, squeezes in from a tight angle, and somehow sneaks it past the keeper and into the middle of the net. Brentford stunned, it’s 0–1 and Forest are smiling early.

St James’ Park falls quiet as Emiliano Buendía produces a moment of magic. He takes it on outside the box and curls a stunning right-footer into the top corner, no chance for the keeper. Morgan Rogers with the assist, Villa in front, Newcastle 0–1 Aston Villa.

Breakthrough at Selhurst Park and Chelsea finally have their reward. The ball drops kindly in the middle of the box, Estêvão keeps his cool and sweeps a left-footer straight down the middle of the net. Palace caught flat-footed, Chelsea ahead, 0–1 and the away end is bouncing.

What a start to the second half for the Blues. They break at pace, slice straight through Palace, and Estêvão turns provider this time, sliding it perfectly into João Pedro’s path. One touch, left foot, roof of the net. Clinical. Selhurst Park stunned, Chelsea now cruising at 0–2.

Big chance at the Gtech and the Bees nearly hit back. The corner drops kindly, Yehor Yarmoliuk swings his right foot from the middle of the box, and drags it just wide of the left post. Dango Ouattara with the clever setup, Forest survive by inches and keep their 1–0 lead intact.

Chelsea put the game well out of Palace’s reach. Enzo Fernández steps up and calmly rifles a right-footer into the bottom right corner. No chance for the keeper, clinical from the spot. Selhurst Park sees Chelsea storming 0–3 up.

Drama at Selhurst Park as Adam Wharton picks up a second yellow for a reckless challenge. Palace now have to grind it out with ten men, and Chelsea smell blood, this one is slipping away fast.

Play comes to a halt as Youri Tielemans goes down for Aston Villa. Medics rush on, and the crowd holds its breath, hope he’s okay.

Forest double their lead at the Gtech! A lightning-fast break sees Morgan Gibbs-White slide the ball perfectly to Taiwo Awoniyi, who taps it in from point-blank range. Brentford stunned, 0–2 and the visitors looking comfortable.

A sucker punch at St James’ Park! Lucas Digne swings in a perfect corner and Ollie Watkins rises highest to power a close-range header into the bottom right. Newcastle can’t catch a break, 0–2 and Villa wrapping up a memorable strike.

A late glimmer of hope at Selhurst Park! Chadi Riad whips in a perfect corner, and Chris Richards rises highest to nod it home from close range. Chelsea still ahead 3–1, but Palace give the home crowd something to cheer about.
