Here we go again.

OR: 7.7k

Only 1 FT available: Cunha → Jesus.

Benched Hall again...... Time will tell, Spurs will score.

Chelsea v Palace game at 3pm today will either be very good or very bad for my team.

Captain on Salah.

Good luck all.

not watching game but anywhere in reading says it was handball - what did VaR look at?

As Spurs tried to clear it, it was kicked straight at Joelintons hand from a couple of yards away which were by his side. He then played it to Gordon.

Isak misses a great chance

ArmaniJeanss

Not watching, but I think it must be the rule that it is considered accidental handball, but if Joelinton scores it would be ruled out as you can't score directly from an accidental handball. As he passed it to another player it's considered OK.
I'm not defending the rule (or EPL interpretation of it) but that is what it sounds like.

Isak goal

whatawaster81

Isak. Could be Murphy assist but hits Dragusin toe before Isak taps it in.

Murphy assist. Very close to a Dragusin OG.

A tap in.

mailburner

Murphy is some player for the price

put it on a plate for isak twice now

I was sure it was going to be Var-ed out for handball. Odd rule, definitely seen similar goals ruled out before.

Nice one... brought in Murphy for ESR this week

I got Gordon in this week but seriously tempted to triple up with Murphy for their next 4. Everyone has Isak now so a double up in midfield could be a nice differential.

Spurs CB pairing is now Gray and Spence...

2nd Row Donkey

Anyone TC Isak?

Gordon should be on double digits already, blazes over a good chance

He is getting into some space and plenty of chances. Has to be hitting the target at least with that effort over the bar.

Son and Maddison on.

shmeee

Gordon off for Barnes

78th minute

Cypher_sounds

Have Isak and Murphy here. Just caught the last 20 mins, looks a good close game.

Johnson should have shot there instead of flashing it across the goal.

shmeee

Isak gets a yellow card as won't leave field when his number went up for a sub. Will cost him BPS, stupid

Xander10

Stupid yellow for Isaak

crushproof

What an idiotic yellow

gammygils

Feck ya Isak I need those points

Grrrr

shmeee

Isak EO just shy of 100% so all effected.

ArmaniJeanss

FT after 14 minutes extra. Solanke had a decent chance at an equaliser, but the 'on targetness' of the effort straight at the keeper seems to have bumped him to 3 bonus, with Isak currently hanging on for the 2.
