Leeds United fell 3-1 to Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, despite American midfielder Brenden Aaronson assisting Lukas Nmecha’s 13th-minute opener. The 25-year-old’s early contribution wasn’t enough to stop Daniel Farke’s side from suffering their fourth defeat in five Premier League matches.

West Ham captain Jarrod Bowen has launched a scathing critique of his side after they fell to yet another defeat in the Premier League. The Hammers were second best as they lost 2-1 away to fellow strugglers Leeds United at Elland Road and, after the game, the England winger did not hold back in his assessment of the team. With just four points in nine games, West Ham are in crisis.

Brenden Aaronson netted his first Premier League goal of the season on Friday as he scored just three minutes into Leeds United's clash with West Ham.

Frank Lampard’s plans for allowing Patrick Bamford to train at high-flying Coventry City have now been explained.

With the title race having already swung back and forth while the top-four and relegation battles are as open as they have been for a few years, the Premier League is becoming increasingly difficult to predict. Sure, the odd match still follows the formbook, but a number of teams are proving tough to pin down and figure out what to expect from them on a game-to-game basis.

Leeds could be facing the loss of one of their brightest talents as 16-year-old midfield prodigy Samuel Alker attracts interest from Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen.

Nuno Espirito Santo has warned West Ham that they are "going to have problems" this season after their 2-0 defeat to Brentford. The former Nottingham Forest manager has now been in charge for three games, but he is yet to oversee a victory, after drawing with Everton and losing to both Arsenal and the Bees.

Lancashire Police are investigating an allegation of spitting made against Burnley midfielder Hannibal Mejbri during Saturday's Premier League clash against Leeds United at Turf Moor.
