Football clockwatch: Join Simon Burnton for the latest from around the grounds on a busy Boxing Day.
“Our guide walked in to say hello, a strongly built guy of average height, and my father’s face transformed - Dave Hickson. You could watch football forever and never see a clearer penalty. And that’s how to take a penalty. A chance for Leicester, after Dewsbury-Hall plays in Daka. Martin Logan emails to point out that another goal description has gone missing and Newcastle are in fact two up, Almiron having scored a very fine seventh-minute second. There have been eight first-half goals in its four 3pm kick-offs, and no other team in the Football League has more than one except struggling Burton Albion in League One, who look to be on their way to a first league win since 22 October being as they are 3-0 up against Lincoln City. A third for Fulham! Newcastle somehow fail to score a fourth! Traore is released on the right and his cross deflects to Ait-Nouri, who smacks it in! Another red card for James Tomkins – making his first Premier League start since Boxing Day last year in absence of the suspended Marc Guehi – and further goals from Fulham’s captain Tim Ream and Mitrovic, with his tenth of the campaign, swept Marco Silva’s side to a deserved victory that leaves them level on points with Liverpool. On this evidence, Newcastle should relish hosting these opponents again in a fortnight in the Carabao Cup quarter-final. Discontent was building among the home crowd inside Goodison Park even before the Wolves substitute Rayan Aït-Nouri gave Julen Lopetegui the perfect start to his reign and heightened the pressure on Frank Lampard with a 95th-minute winner against Everton.
Everton centre-back Yerry Mina made his first Premier League appearance since the opening day of the season as he replaced Conor Coady against Wolves. On-loan ...
The game seemed to be heading for a draw but Traore found Ait-Nouri in the box in the 95th minute and the defender secured a 2-1 win for Wolves. Moutinho saw the run from the edge of the box and played the perfect pass for the winger to equalise. They will host Manchester United on New Years' Eve in their next match while Everton travel to Manchester City on the same day.

"Lopetegui opted to move to a back five in the closing stages as Toti was brought on alongside Max Kilman and Nathan Collins. Lopetegui knows there is still plenty of work to do, and he said that each of Wolves' remaining Premier League games is a final. "The Boxing Day visit of bottom side Wolves represented a hugely-significant restart to the Premier League for Everton. "This game was meandering towards a draw between two teams low on confidence when Lopetegui turned to his coaching staff and plotted a route to victory which played out just as he would have imagined it. "Lampard, along with those left shell-shocked inside Goodison as Ait-Nouri led a merry jig in front of the jubilant Wolves supporters after full-time, will reflect on a familiar feeling. Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui: "They scored from their first corner which isn't easy for your mentality but we had the chance to show our character and belief in ourselves. "We've not done anything yet and we have to be aware of that. There's a lot of room to improve but it was a really good result for us." "The effort and the energy was there and we did enough to win the game I thought. We know that it was a very hard task but we always have to believe in ourselves. Everton had lost their last two Premier League games against Wolves, as many as they had in their previous 12 - but the hosts got off to the perfect start when Mina glanced home McNeil's corner on seven minutes. You would have thought Lopetegui had been in place as Wolves manager for as long as their five-year stay in the Premier League.

Idrissa Gueye gets a boot right in the face from Max Kilman while the pair challenge for a 50/50. Loose play from Wolves at the back sees Max Kilman hoof it clear and Goodison Park sense the chance. The noises are that it doesn't - that the club knows it needs to strengthen. Cleared by Kilman but Evertonians are sensing a chance to sway the game here. Ben Godfrey sees an effort cleared off the line as Sa flaps at a free-kick swung into the box. His cross deflects to Ait-Nouri who is free at the back post. James Tarkowski played a long, cross-field ball to Anthony Gordon and as it dropped in the box the visitors cleared, sparking the counter attack that won them the game. It is also the first time the Blues have played at Goodison since the 2-0 defeat to Leicester City at the start of November. Obviously it’s going to be worrying from the outside, looking at results, but I look at my teammates and the way we’re playing and I’ve got full belief in us to go out there and pick up wins. We were the better team and looking for the goal late on and just get punished, maybe we threw one too many bodies forward and got caught out. And here is a taste of what's in there: There’s some experienced players in there so we need to get round the younger lads who maybe haven’t been in this situation before.
