Enzo Maresca's side are firmly in control here!
This time it's Enzo Fernandes who found the net with a wonderful right-footed effort that flew past his Argentina teammate Emi Martinez and into the bottom corner of the net.
It means that the midfielder continues his gloriously productive run, having scored twice and provided five assists in his last five games.
That £105million price tag is finally starting to pay for itself...

Manchester United lead and it's come from a rather fortuitous goal.
Taking a corner in front of the Stretford End, Bruno Fernandes fizzed the ball to the edge of the box where Marcus Rashford struck it on the volley.
With his effort going wide, Rashford's strike took a big deflection from Jarrod Branthwaite and went beyond Jordan Pickford to put the hosts 1-0 up.
It's been an open and frantic game and that goal was very much the same!

Andreas Pereira has hit out at the media publication who published the 'malicious' interview in which he declared that he wished he'd joined Marseille in the summer.
The Fulham midfielder was quoted as saying that it was 'unfortunate' that the move fell through given his desire to work under Roberto De Zerbi.
Pereira has been left out of the squad for Fulham's clash with Tottenham today, but the Brazilian has now taken to social media to commit his future to Fulham.
He wrote: "I would like to address the article recently published about me.
"Unfortunately, the piece contains statements attributed to me that I did not make and the translation into English was done in a malicious and inaccurate manner, completely distorting my words."
He continued: "I deeply regret the unprofessional conduct displayed in this situation and respectfully request a retraction of the quote falsely attributed to me.
"It is essential to uphold the truth and ensure the public discourse is based on facts."

In a nice little throwback moment, Chelsea have been awarded an indirect free-kick inside the penalty area.
After Cole Palmer's shot was saved by Emi Martinez, Pau Torres tapped the ball back to the goalkeeper who scooped it up.
However the referee adjudged this to be a backpass, leading Chelsea to be given a free-kick from just 10 yards out.
With Villa's players sprawled across the goal line, Palmer let fly with a shot but his effort was saved by Martinez, before the following effort was cleared to safety.
Absolute chaos at Stamford Bridge!

Who else would it be?!
Chelsea's striker is in the form of his life and have given the Blues an early lead over Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge.
A nice move between Jadon Sancho and Marc Cucurella sees the ball played in to Jackson who squeezes it beyond Emi Martinez to make it 1-0.
That's his eighth goal in 14 appearances this season.
Since the start of May, only Erling Haaland (18) has scored
more goals in the Premier League than Nicolas Jackson (12).

A group of Manchester United fans have been protesting outside of Old Trafford ahead of the clash with Everton.
According to reports, hundreds of fans gathered by the 'Holy Trinity' Statue by the club's megastore to make their feelings known about rising ticket prices.
It comes after the announcement that matchday tickets will now cost a minimum of £66.
With the support of the Football Supporters' Association, fans held a 'Stop Exploiting Loyalty' banner.
As part of the protest, Sir Jim Ratcliffe was the subject of numerous chants that, let's just say, didn't paint him in the best of lights.

Arne Slot has fueled this afternoon's crunch clash between Liverpool and Man City by declaring he 'doesn't look up to' his opposite number.
The Reds will be hoping to add to City's misery with Guardiola heading to Anfield on a six-match winless run.
Ahead of the game, Slot said that he'd contacted his old club Feyenoord - the side who drew 3-3 with City midweek - but confirmed: "I got in touch but not in a tactical way.
"I just contacted people I worked with to say 'what an amazing result and congratulations with the unbelievable performance' and those kinds of things.
"I don't look up to Pep - that's not the words I would want to use.
So for me, data and statistics like that don't mean a lot with this game."

Tyler Morton is being lined up to leave Liverpool on loan in January.
According to The Sun, the midfielder is being targeted by Sheffield United as they look to bolster their hopes of securing promotion from the Championship.
The Blades have recently lost midfield sensation Ollie Arblaster to injury, meaning that they need added quality in the middle of the park.
Morton spent last season with Hull in the Championship, scoring three and providing five assists in 40 league games.
Restricted to just two cameo appearances for the Reds this term, the 18-year-old could benefit from more game time.

Rodri is hoping to be fit to feature in Man City's end-of-season run-in.
The midfielder, who recently won the Ballon d'Or has been ruled for the foreseeable with a cruciate ligament injury but has made his intentions clear.
Speaking to FourFourTwo, he said: "I want to come back in the same shape.
“I’m trying to take the positives – it’s a good time to rest my body, stop the engine a little bit, recover well and come back stronger.
“I want to come back this season, that would be important for me.
I don’t know if I can, but I’d like to be involved for a month or two and finish the season.
“I’m going to work hard, but I’ll take care of myself and come back when I’m fully fit.”

Ruben Amorim has heaped praise on Tyrell Malacia after making his comeback from a year-long injury.
The Man United star started against Bodo/Glimt on Thursday night in the Europa League and played 45 minutes with his gametime being carefully managed.
Despite lacking in match sharpness, Amorim was happy with the left-back’s performance as he looks ahead to this afternoon’s game with Everton.
"It was huge for him, the confidence of everybody, I think he did really well," he told MUTV.
"It was more than a year without playing and the way he behaved, so brave with the ball, I'm really happy with him."

Set-pieces we worked hard knowing they were a threat.

The referee blows the final whistle, and that is a huge win for Arsenal.
All of the goals came in one of craziest first 45 minutes of football you are likely to see, with the second half much more sedate.
Goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Leandro Trossard, Martin Odegaard and Kai Havertz had the Gunners 4-0 up.
But with their first shot, the Hammers got back in the game through Aaron Wan-Bissaka before Emerson scored a magnificent free-kick.
However, Arsenal grabbed a fifth through a Bukayo Saka penalty, and that was where the scoring ended.
But it was an impressive display from Arsenal, who are back on track after a bit of a wobble.

While things have quietened down a little bit on the pitch in this half, there have been some incidents in the stands.
A video has emerged showing a large bunch of West Ham fans scrapping amongst themselves in the stands.
It's unclear exactly what started it, but the footage shows how quickly the situation escalated.
As of yet, there have been no arrests, but we'll have the latest on this story as it develops.

Arsenal look like they have another problem, and this time, it's Bukayo Saka.
The England international cuts in from the right and fires in a shot that deflects off Emerson and behind for a corner.
But as he shoots, his left foot clatters into Emerson and leaves Saka rolling around in pain.
He gets some medical attention and is going to carry on for now.

Hmmmmm, this looks like an injury for Riccardo Calafiori.
The Italian is withdrawn before the hour mark and rather slowly makes his way off the field.
Oleksandr Zinchenko is the man to replace him, meaning Arsenal now have an entirely different left side of their defence.

Back underway for the second half, and there are changes for both teams.
West Ham are bringing Edson Alvarez on in place of Crysencio Summerville.
Meanwhile, Gabriel Magalhaes has gone off for Jakub Kiwior.
The Brazilian was a doubt for this match, so it's no real surprise to see him go off.
