52 mins: Stoke 1 Chelsea 1: The game has yet to find any flow in the second half following a couple of stoppages in play, most recently to Erik Pieters. With no Eden Hazard to turn to, who can step up for the league leaders? Or will it be Stoke who can go on to claim another home win against Chelsea at the Bet365 Stadium?
63 mins: GOAL! WEST HAM 2 LEICESTER 3:
Game on at The London Stadium! Andre Ayew has nodded home West Ham's second, finding himself in the right place at the right time to convert Andy Carroll's header back across goal following Manuel Lanzini's deep corner to the far post.
68 mins: GOAL! CRYSTAL PALACE 1 WATFORD 0:
The deadlock has been broken at Selhurst Park! Troy Deeney often finds himself on the scoresheet but usually it's up the other end for his own side. This afternoon, the Watford striker inadvertently diverted Yohan Cabaye's free-kick past Heurelho Gomes for an own-goal. Crystal Palace won't care; as it stands, they're on their way to a third consecutive victory.
73 mins: RED CARD! EVERTON 1 HULL 0:
Hull City's task at Goodison Park has just got tougher. A goal behind, they will have to play the final 13 minutes with ten men after Tom Huddlestone was sent off by referee Paul Tierney. The official adjudged the midfielder to have gone over the ball with a dangerous challenge on Idrissa Gueye. Replays suggest it was a harsh decision.
78 mins: GOAL! EVERTON 2 HULL 0:
Everton take advantage and Enner Valencia bags their second. The substitute had only been on the pitch a minute when he played a one-two with Romelu Lukaku to race on to the return, control and fire past Eldin Jakupovic.
80 mins: Stoke 1 Chelsea 1: It's still either side's game to win at the Bet365 Stadium, and for the first time this afternoon, the home side truly believe they can be the ones to do it.
87 mins: GOAL! STOKE 1 CHELSEA 2:
The sign of Champions? You better believe it! Chelsea have been far from their best this afternoon, but Gary Cahill has popped up with what is surely a late winner at the Bet365 Stadium. A deep corner from the right winger was met by David Luiz, and although the Brazilian's header was blocked by Erik Pieters, the Stoke defender could only divert the ball straight into the path of Cahill. Keeping his cool, the Chelsea captain swept a first time shot high into the net in front of the ecstatic travelling fans.
90+1 mins: GOAL! EVERTON 3 HULL 0:
Three goals for Everton, and finally one for Romelu Lukaku. Enner Valencia repays the favour from his strike by playing the Belgian through, and he made no mistake in stroking home past Eldin Jakupovic . The goal means that Lukaku has scored in every match at Goodison Park in 2017.
90+4 mins: GOAL! EVERTON 4 HULL 0:
Two goals in injury time for Romelu Lukaku! This time the Belgian pounces on a slack back-pass to go through on goal and score. He might not be signing a new Everton contract anytime soon, but the home fans love him all the same.
