Martín Zubimendi opened the scoring with a header from a Noni Madueke cross in the 27th minute to give Arsenal the advantage at Elland Road.

Arsenal’s second came when goalkeeper Karl Darlow put the ball into his own net in the 38th minute; the live report said Calvert-Lewin appears to get in the goalkeeper’s way as a corner was taken and Darlow punched the ball in.

Viktor Gyökeres made it 3-0 in the 69th minute with a close-range strike from a Gabriel Martinelli cross, with the live blog saying that looked to wrap up three points for the Gunners.

At Molineux Eli Junior Kroupi gave Bournemouth the lead in the 33rd minute with a strike into the top-left corner past José Sá, the report says. On the south coast Pascal Gross broke the deadlock for Brighton in the 73rd minute; the coverage noted it was his first goal since rejoining the club and said it could prove crucial. The live blog also recorded a disallowed Mitoma goal for Brighton for offside earlier.

The updates were part of live match coverage and further developments were being posted as the matches continued, the report indicates.
