30 mins: Stoke 0 Chelsea 1: Marcos Alonso gets behind the Stoke defence and looks certain to net a second, but this time Lee Grant is equal to the effort. The left wing-back timed his run perfectly to meet Moses' chipped pass after a free-kick in a promising position had been played short.
33 mins: Stoke 0 Chelsea 1: Controversy afoot at the Britannia Stadium. Bruno Martins Indi thought he had headed Stoke level from a corner, but the linesman raised his flag for a push by Saido Berahino on Cesar Azpilicueta. It's an excellent decision by the official.
38 mins: PENALTY! GOAL! STOKE 1 CHELSEA 1:
From one push in the Chelsea area to another, but this time it's gone in Stoke's favour and they have a penalty! A free-kick was lofted into the box but as Thibaut Courtios came out to claim, Gary Cahill planted his hands on the back of Jonathan Walters. Contact was minimal, but it was enough to take the Irishman over and Anthony Taylor pointed to the spot.
Walters picked himself up to take the kick, and powered right-footed into the roof of Courtois' net to draw the home side level.
38 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 1 LEICESTER 3:
Leicester's two-goal advantage at the London Stadium has been restored courtesy of Jamie Vardy. The home side failed to clear a Marc Albrighton corner and when Wilfred Ndidi nudged the ball to Vardy, the striker rattled his shot past Darren Randolph.
SECOND HALF KICK-OFF: The five three o'clock kick-offs in the Premier League are back underway. If the second periods are anything like the first, we could be in store for quite a forty-five minutes - unless they're like the first halves at Selhurst Park and The Stadium of Light.
