Summary
Jimbo convenes with Carl Anka, Tim Spiers and Sasha Goryunov after a Premier League weekend full of shocks and surprises.
Tottenham leave it extremely late to continue their unbeaten run and defeat 9-man Liverpool. But the post-match talk is dominated by the officiating error that led to Luis Diaz’s goal being incorrectly disallowed for the Reds. Which way would you vote now in the VAR referendum?
The champions are beaten as Man City lose their 100% record at Molineux. Steve Madeley tells us how a Neto and Dawson inspired Wolves did it.
Villa press the life out of Brighton as they win 6-1 while Luton give a truly Dychian performance to secure their first ever Premier League victory at Goodison.
Plus player fatigue and welfare, and Roy Hodgson makes history at Old Trafford.
Produced by Charlie Jones.
