Chelsea have been as good in the second half as they were bad in the first. Playing with such intensity, restarting the game quickly from dead balls. Testing last 15 minutes for West Ham

PSG are such a good watch when they're on it. Supreme technical quality + relentless tempo. For once it's the Premier League team that can't deal with the opposition's speed and dynamism

That might be the worst decision I've ever seen on a football pitch. Absolutely insane from Brahim Diaz

Extraordinary end to the AFCON final. Whoever resolves this impasse deserves the FIFA Peace Prize

Off to the Stadium of Light tomorrow for Sunderland vs Palace. Now to check Glasner's press conference for the team news!

Utterly dominant display from Nigeria, who look like the team to beat in Morocco. Restricted Algeria to 0.12 xG & no shots until the 80th minute, and created plenty at the other end

Part Four: Ivory Coast vs Burkina Faso in Marrakech, where the Burkinabe striker is wearing No.2. Le foot c'est fini

Part Three: Nigeria vs Mozambique in Fez, where I'm very much regretting not buying a ticket in the stand with a roof

Apropos of nothing, Bournemouth's games have contained the most goals in the Premier League this season (3.37 per 90). But their home games have contained the fewest (1.89 per 90) #makesuthink

Burnley vs Palace. Not a classic

Tottenham's first shot of the game - and what a shot

What a dreadful first half from Tottenham. Approaching this like they're a League Two team going for a giantkilling

Jean-Philippe Mateta would be in the Golden Boot race if he could actually score one-on-ones

Wonder who will win this

A 30-year-old Tomas Soucek doesn't seem the best candidate for a one-man midfield

Just another 2-3 transfer windows until Man Utd get it right

Hadn't seen Ao Tanaka play much before tonight. Very impressed!

The new ROUTE ONE is here:

Could Palace's demotion be a blessing in disguise? We ask @gregleafootball.bsky.social.

What went wrong for Liverpool? I have an idea...

And Bournemouth just spent BIG on a defender. How are they looking this season? Commentator Paul Scott speaks.

Spurs are just so ridiculously easy to play against. Palace haven't had as comfortable a game as this all season

Even by their standards, this has been a dismal performance from Tottenham. Every Palace player seems to have five yards of space
