Paul MacInnes was in N17 earlier to witness less a party, more yet another wake-like atmosphere at the Lane.
In-Depth Developments & Factual Context
Ed Aarons was at the Amex this afternoon, party hat on askew, streamers, the lot. Here's his report on the 125th anniversary bash to end all 125th anniversary bashes.
Let's see what today's results have done to the Premier League table. Manchester City rise to the top without lifting a finger - they host Sunderland tomorrow afternoon - while Brighton rise to third, their reward for giving champions Arsenal an awful chasing. Everton make it up to fifth, Newcastle rise to eighth, and Aston Villa scramble their way up to 15th, with Spurs languishing in the relegation places. And yes, it really is too early to be using phrases like that, but it helpfully illustrates their predicament so, shamelessly, there it is.
Simon McMahon, our pal on the nippy sweeties, reports: "Dundee United seeing it out as comfortably as my Macallan High Commissioner and Cherry Pepsi is going down. One other score of note from the Scottish Championship: Marvin Bartley's Stenhousemuir beat Arbroath 1-0 and are currently five points clear at the top, ahead of the more fancied Partick, Raith Rovers, Dunfermline and Livingston."
Industry Impact & Strategic Analysis
There's just enough time for Declan Rice to lash out petulantly at Malick Yalcouye. He's lucky just to get a yellow. And then the whistle goes. Brighton can get their 125th birthday party started in earnest now! A result for the ages against the usually parsimonious champions.
… and there's more Championship drama at Turf Moor. Burnley were so close to their first win of the season, leading Derby going into injury time thanks to Zeki Amdouni's first-half goal. But Mohammed Fuseini equalises deep into injury time, the whistle goes, and the boos ring out. Head coach Nicky Hayen's coat on a shoogly peg.
Seems it might be a banner day for QPR after all. You'll remember them going two goals and a man down early on at home against Preston? Well, Kwame Poku halved the deficit on 66 minutes, and now Paul Smyth has salvaged a point for the Rs on the 90! It's 2-2 at Loftus Road.
Forward Outlook & Market Perspective
In the Championship, Wrexham have scored a late, late winner against Southampton, surely. Or more accurately, they've had it scored for them. Keven Schlotterbeck turns into his own net with a minute of normal time to go.
Brighton 3-0 Arsenal. Now Matt O'Riley's clean through, but he can't slot past David Raya. Arsenal, and their famous defence, could have been on the end of a proper thrashing this afternoon. This scoreline seriously flatters the champions.
Brighton 3-0 Arsenal. Gabriel nearly puts a tin lid on it for Arsenal, miscuing a clearance straight into Matt O'Riley's startled face, the ball nearly rebounding into the net. David Raya in the right place at the right time.
Everton 1-0 Ipswich Town. Everton have a two-on-one to seal the deal … but Harrison Armstrong takes the shot on himself, missing the target. Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, all alone, fumes theatrically.
Brighton 3-0 Arsenal. Mikel Arteta sends Max Dowman on … while plenty of the Arsenal fans slope off. The champions have been utterly outplayed on the south coast.
Newcastle United 2-1 Hull City. Newcastle would have been three goals to the good had Yoane Wissa buried his penalty. But now the hosts are hanging on a bit. Mohamed Belloumi shoots; Lukas Hornicek saves. St James' Park pensive as one.
