An email: “You can see from the photo directly beneath your bizarre statement that Akanji is not in the keeper’s eyeline at all,” writes JA Hopkin. “The keeper’s sight is blocked by his own defender!”
Well, JA, what you can’t see from the photo in question is that Nathan Ake is about 14 yards from goal when he heads the ball and that by the time it crossed the line, Manuel Akanji, who was standing in an offside position, had jumped to allow it directly between his legs. As difficult as it might be for you to believe, Bernd Leno was not in the same place when the ball crossed the line as he was when the photo you refer to was taken. He was directly behind Akanji.
GOAL! Burnley 1-3 Tottenham Hotspur (Maddison 54)

GOAL! Chelsea 0-1 Nottingham Forest (Elanga 48)

Updated
Manchester City 2-1 Fulham: Having seen several replays of City’s second goal, it truly beggars belief that (a) the referee Michael Oliver didn’t clock that Manuel Akanji was offside and interfering with play and (b) his VAR officials arrived at the same conclusion after lengthy deliberations.
Manuel Akanji was standing in an offside position, directly in front of Bernd Leno when Nathan Ake sent a downward header straight at the pair of them. Akanjki jumped in the air, parting his legs so the ball could travel through them and creep into the corner. It looks an astonishingly bad decision, unless Akanji was somehow onside. [Narrator’s voice: “He wasn’t”].

GOAL! Manchester City 2-1 Fulham (Ake 45+5)
Premier League: From a Phil Foden corner, Nathan Ake heads the ball in the Fulham net at the Etihad. There’s a lengthy VAR check, because Manuel Akanji was standing in the middle of the six-yard box, clearly interfering with play (he jumped over the ball) and in Bernd Leno’s eyeline. Somewhat bizarrely, the goal is given. It looks like another VAR shocker and Fulham boss Marco Silva is furious. It’s not difficult to see why.

Following last night’s win for West Ham over Luton Town at Kenilworth Road, it’s a big day in the top flight ahead of the first international break of the season. Sheffield United and Everton got the day’s action under way at Bramall Lane, where thr hosts have come from behind to lead at half-time.
Abdoulaye Doucoure poked Everton ahead with his side’s first Premier League goal of the season, a goal that was cancelled out by a fine strike from Jordan Archer on his Premier League debut for the Blades. Archer helped increase his team’s lead, forcing an own goal off Jordan Pickford with an even better effort that struck thge post deep in first-half added time.
Later this afternoon, free-spending Chelsea, league leaders Manchester City and born again Tottenham are among the big name sides kicking off at 3pm. Having spent over £1bn under their new ownership regime, Chelsea host a Nottingham Forest side who are without a league win on the road since their victory at Southampton in early January.
City, the reigning Champions, host Fulham and Spurs will try to put their midweek Carabao Cup defeat behind time by consigning Burnley to a third consecutive defeat. In today’s other 3pm fixture, Brentford will look to continue their excellent start to the season against Bournemouth.
We’ll bring you team news, updates on all the major talking points and flag up all the goals as they go in, before bringing you on-the-whistle reports from our correspondents at the grounds.
