Preston 2-1 Leicester “Jeremy Monga is the same age as Journal for Plague Lovers by the Manics,” writes Matt Dony. “I’m going to bed.”
If it cheers you up any, old man, it looks like Monga’s historic goal will be in vain as Preston have gone back in front.

88 min: Brighton 1-0 Fulham James Milner, 39, has just come off the bench to begin his – yikesorama – 24th Premier League season. It sounds like Brighton have the game under control; well, as much as you can at 1-0.

“Richarlison has been by a very long distance the best player on the field today,” says Kári Tulinius. “While I realise he’s the epitome of a footballer that flatters to deceive, he could blossom in a striker-centric Thomas Frank system. He’s already scored half the number of league goals he scored last year, and twice the number of league goals during his first season.”

GOAL! Tottenham 3-0 Burnley (Johnson 66)
All done at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, where Brennan Johnson has put Spurs 3-0 up against Burnley. He ran onto Pape Sarr’s through ball and finished with a gentle stab past Martin Dubravka.
When I say ‘all done’…

64 min: Sunderland 1-0 West Ham Mayenda’s goal was also a fine finish. He got in front of Nayef Aguerd to meet the substitute Omar Alderete’s cross from the left and force a precise header back across Mads Hermansen.

63 min: Tottenham 2-0 Burnley Richarlison’s second goal was so good, an elegant scissor kick into the bottom corner from 12 yards. He was running away from goal as he met the ball, which made the grace and precision of the volley even better. Like his first goal, it came from a right-wing cross by the debutant Mohammed Kudus.

56 min: Tottenham 1-0 Burnley
“Richarlison is one of my favourite players because of his off-field stances: specifically, for opening up about his struggles with depression and urging others who are struggling to seek treatment, and for his critique of Jair Bolsonaro’s fascist regime (in stark contrast to his countryman Neymar on the latter),” writes Michael Weller. “At the same time, his goal for Spurs today highlights one of the eternal verities of being an Evertonian: that wherever football is played, you’re never far from seeing a former Everton player score for another team.”
It’s interesting – euphemism alert – that despite his off-field decency Richarlison would probably walk into a Premier League’s Most Hated XI.

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Fulham (O’Riley 55 pen)
The sale of Joao Pedro to Chelsea means Brighton need a new penalty taker. When Georginio Rutter is fouled by Sander Berge, Matt O’Riley obliges with an emphatic spotkick.
