Nice were given a penalty against PSG, but the referee's changed his mind and rescinded his decision.And that's that – Nice defeat PSG with a slim 1-0 victory, courtesy Andy Delort!

FT: Nice 1-0 PSG

Real Madrid register an emphatic victory over Real Sociedad, after a worrying opening 10 minutes where they fell 1-0 down after they gave away a needless penalty to the visitors.But Madrid rallied to come back from behind and score four goals, picking up all three points and extending their lead at the top of the Liga table to eight points.Will they be able to replicate this energy when they host PSG in the Champions League in midweek, though?

FT: Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad

NICE HAVE SCORED! It's Andy Delort who scores to put Nice in the lead in the final few minutes of regular time with a sweet, sweet goal.PSG are behind!

As he should 👏

And Karim Benzema scores to make it 3-1 for Real Madrid! It's his 20th La Liga goal of the season, after having two efforts chalked off for offside earlier in the game.It's a great strike, and that looks to be game over for Los Blancos.

GOAL! Real Madrid 3-1 Real Sociedad

Real Madrid have a penalty, after Vinicius Jr was caught just inside of the Real Sociedad box.

Real Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad

Karim Benzema thinks he's scored with a stunning effort straight into the top corner of the net, but the goal's been disallowed due to Rodrygo being offside after a VAR check.Still 2-1 to Madrid.

Real Sociedad have not looked threatening since the opening 10 minutes when they won and converted the penalty, with Real Madrid happy to cruise along – but the game's fallen to a bit of a stagnant pace.

Karim Benzema has a great chance, but the Sociedad goalkeeper produces a fine fingertip save to keep it out.

Real Madrid's best chance of the game comes through a Rodrygo effort, but he messes up his footwork and loses the ball. Not the most scintillating display from Los Blancos in the opening 20 minutes.

Real Madrid have conceded! Mikel Oyarzabal scores for the visitors from the spot, with no chance of saving it from Thibaut Courtois.Real Sociedad take the lead at the Bernabeu!

Real Madrid and Real Sociedad have kicked off at the Bernabeu, while PSG visit Nice in Ligue 1 action.Madrid are looking to increase their lead over Sevilla to eight points atop the La Liga table, while PSG hold a commanding 15-point lead over second-place Marseille ahead of kick-off.

PSG and Real Madrid underway

Alexander-Arnold to Sky Sports: "Both me and Andy (Robertson) tried to get forward when we had the chance, but to keep a clean sheet was our aim."We have been able to do that over the last few weeks. Being able to clear one off the line was great as it helped us keep that clean sheet."Look at the Burnley game, when we also got a 1-0 win. It's great to win by a big margin but these are the ones that matter. It doesn't matter how you do it, you have to get the job done."

TAA: It doesn't matter how you do it

Trent Alexander-Arnold set a new personal best for assists in a season, with his 16th of the campaign. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/alexander-arnold-mane-assist-liverpool-goal-vs-west-ham/bltd6f84bb0dcfbef8e" target="_blank">Read the full story on GOAL right here.</a>

Van Dijk sets mind-boggling record

An important win for the Reds, who are now just three points behind first-place Man City. Mane's goal in the first half was enough to get past the Hammers, who will be frustrated they wasted some decent chances to grab a point in this one.

FINAL: Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

West Ham will have five minutes of added time to find an equaliser, trailing Liverpool 1-0.

Keita with a fantastic challenge on Antonio, who had bypassed Robertson and was in on goal. Still 1-0 Liverpool with just 10 minutes plus stoppage time left.

Keita with a huge block

Salah's day is done and he nearly signs off with a goal, but his touch lets him down from close range and allows West Ham to clear. Jota on for the Egypt star.

Lanzini HAS to score but somehow he doesn't! The Argentine takes down a cross and evades a defender to make space, but he blazes a bouncing ball well over from just eight yards out. That really should've been 1-1. Will West Ham get a better chance than that to equalise?

What a miss!

Abraham's goal is enough for Mourinho's side, with De Roon and Mkhitaryan each sent off during stoppage time.

FINAL: Roma 1-0 Atalanta

Kurt Zouma was given a rude welcome to Anfield by some fans. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/cats-lives-matter-zouma-liverpool/blt3dc138509580e45e" target="_blank">Read the full story here.</a>

Major worry for West Ham here as Bowen is slowly limping off the pitch and appears to be in a good deal of pain. He seems to have picked up the injury when he followed through on his earlier shot. Benrahma is on in his place.

Bowen sneaks in behind the Liverpool defence and pounces on a turnover, but Robertson does well to track back and get a challenge in on the in-form winger.

A new record for TAA

One minute of added time passes without incident, and the Reds lead at the break.Could easily have been 2-2, some huge chances missed so far, but Mane's goal is the difference.

Half time - Liverpool 1-0 West Ham

Fornals is played clean through, dinks Alisson but Alexander-Arnold got back brilliantly to clear off the line.Alisson then saved the follow up header before Ibrahima Konate blocked from Vlasic.Liverpool escape, and we get the perfect example of why 1-0 is not a safe lead here.

How is it not 1-1?!

Diaz and Salah denied in quick succession, Cresswell clearing off the line. Liverpool have turned up the heat in the minutes before half time, looking for a second goal which could kill the game.

Real Madrid XI announced

The gap is down to three points as it stands!Sadio Mane with the opening goal at Anfield, touching in a rifled cross from Alexander-Arnold after a fine Liverpool team move.VAR checks it for offside, but goal given. 1-0.

Mane breaks the deadlock!

Nearly half an hour played, and after Liverpool dominated the opening period things have evened out rather, chances for both teams.Reminder that Liverpool would be five points behind Man City if it stays like this, with the leaders facing Man Utd tomorrow.

Even stevens at Anfield

Chest and volley from 20 yards by Tomas Soucek, the Reds No 1 has to make a save.Enjoyable game so far.

Another save from Alisson

Out of nothing, Michail Antonio runs onto a great ball by Pablo Fornals, and his left footed strike is an absolute stinger that Alisson does well to push over the bar.West Ham have weathered the Liverpool storm and are starting to ask a few questions.

Big chance for West Ham!

Luis Diaz has a shot blocked and the rebound falls to the Egyptian, but he sweeps his effort wide.Not even 15 mins gone and Salah has missed three good chances. Frustration for those of us with him in our Fantasy Football teams.

Salah could have had a hat-trick already...

Virgil Van Dijk turns a Trent free kick narrowly wide, before Salah has another chance blocked by a great last ditch tackle by Craig Dawson, out for a corner.Looks like only a matter of time before they score.

Liverpool making all the early running

Barely a minute played, and a quick through ball by Trent Alexander-Arnold sets Mo Salah free. He bears down on goal, however Lukasz Fabianski makes a good save.

Big early chance for Liverpool

Before the match, there was a minute of applause and various banners and symbols to show solidarity with the people of Ukraine.We have kicked off in the evening Premier League match.

Are you one of the 1,233?

Chelsea have won each of their last three Premier League games, this after only winning three of their previous 11 in the competition beforehand (D6 L2).Chelsea’s 4-0 win over Burnley was the biggest by an away team in a Premier League match that was goalless at half-time since Tottenham won 4-0 at Aston Villa in December 2012.Chelsea enjoyed their biggest away Premier League win since October 2018, when they also beat Burnley 4-0 at Turf Moor.No Chelsea player has scored more goals under Thomas Tuchel in all competitions than Kai Havertz (13), who today scored his first Premier League brace since May 2021 against Fulham.Chelsea’s Reece James (5 goals, 6 assists) is one of only three English players with both 5+ goals and 5+ assists in the Premier League this season, along with Jarrod Bowen and Mason Mount.No visiting player has scored more Premier League away goals at Turf Moor than Chelsea’s Christian Pulisic (four, level with Harry Kane).

Stat attack - Burnley 0-4 Chelsea

Chelsea are looking good for a top four finish, moving eight points clear of fifth-place West Ham ahead of their visit to Anfield which kicks off in 20ish minutes.Down at the bottom, it looks grim for Norwich, who after losing to Brentford are fove points behind 17th-place Everton who have three games in hand.Burnley also stay in the bottom three, while Brentford and Newcastle have picked up crucial wins and move six and seven points clear of the drop zone respectively.
