And with this final gift, I’m gone. It’s been a blast. Bye!

Asmir Begovic talks about Bournemouth’s draw at Palace. Considering he saved a stoppage-time penalty, he seems remarkably downbeat.

Obviously a big moment. Thankfully I made a save and helped the team get a point. It was a difficult day. We played well and it would have been a travesty if we hadn’t come away with anything. It was a clean tackle, got the ball, one of those things. I couldn’t care a less who took it.

Further adventures in match reportage:

And the match reports start rolling in:

If you’ve not yet had your fill of footballing livebloggery, Rob Smyth’s your man:

No second-half goals, but from the looks of things I missed Real hitting the woodwork a couple of times.

The final whistle sounds at Chesterfield. What a conclusion! Meanwhile there have been no goals to tell you about in the second half in Madrid, where it remains 5-0. And finally, I believe that both Randal Smathers and Hubert O’Hearn are both real people. You’ll be telling me Santa doesn’t exist next.

Chesterfield have won it! Weir has scored in the 93rd minute to put his side 2-1 up against Barnet, who are about to be left stranded on the bottom of the League Two table! “So Morecambe thrashing the new City of Culture 2-0 isn’t one of the ‘League Two Megamatches’?!” sniffs Bruce Jackson. Sorry.

That, surely, is the game of the day. Controversial refereeing decisions, glorious goals, terrible misses, it’s had the lot. And it ends in a draw.

In the fifth of four minutes of stoppage time Watford win a free kick. Everyone goes forward. Gomes is in the penalty area. Holebas takes it – and he overhits it straight into the palms of Pope! And that’s it!

Milivojevic took their first penalty, and scored with aplomb. Benteke though takes their second, and his effort is low, soft and nowhere near the corner, and Begovic saves!

Spot-kick machine Wilfried Zaha has won yet another spot-kick, and a brilliant chance to win this game!

Those are important points for Huddersfield, and it was all too easy from Brighton’s perspective.

Well, Stoke didn’t lose 4-0. So that’s something. Son played brilliantly, Stoke defended hopelessly (and on occasion unluckily) and Spurs romp to a comfortable victory.

I take my eye off Burnley v Watford for a moment, and something has caused Marco Silva to get so excited the referee has to come over to calm him down. Presumably he thought Burnley should have had a man sent off, in the process of conceding a free kick on their right flank. They didn’t, though, but Holebas sends in a lovely free kick that could have been converted (but wasn’t).

At some point there have been equalisers in both the League Two megamatches, so it’s now Luton 1-1 Notts County, and also Chesterfield 1-1 Barnet.

“As a Canadian expat (17 years of married bliss & counting) I have news for Hubert O’Hearn,” writes Randal Smathers. “Once people hear you’re Canadian all they’ll want to do is have dull and endless conversations about the sizes of snowfalls. And ice hockey. And how freaking nice Canadians are, so you might need to adjust your expectations.”

Another goal from a corner! The ball comes in from the left, hits someone in the head at the far post, hits Nyom in the shin, drops invitingly into open space inside the penalty area and Bony reacts first, runs onto it and lashes it home. Hard.

The comeback starts here! A corner from the left, and Lloris hares off his line to collect it but gets nowhere near, and all Shawcross has to do is get his header on target. Which he does.

“That was a good decision,” writes Roy Allen of Burnley’s latest disallowed goal. “Barnes was marginally offside when the pass was played. The pass deflected off defenders but the initial offside is what mattered.”

Some team news from the Premier League’s late game:

Newcastle: Darlow, Yedlin, Lejeune, Clark, Manquillo, Hayden, Merino, Ritchie, Murphy, Joselu, Gayle. Subs: Elliot, Lascelles, Shelvey, Diame, Perez, Atsu, Mitrovic.
Leicester: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan, Maguire, Chilwell,
Mahrez, Ndidi, Iborra, Albrighton, Gray, Vardy. Subs: Iheanacho, King, Hamer, Dragovic, Okazaki, Ulloa, Fuchs.
Referee: Neil Swarbrick.

Well it won’t finish 4-0 this time. Son picks the ball up well inside his own half; Eriksen runs ahead of him and holds the line of the last defender, but some way away from him and all on his own. Both run another 30 yards towards the Stoke goal and then Son plays a perfect, if not exactly difficult, defence-splitting pass and the Dane does the rest.

Burnley have had another goal disallowed. Ashley Barnes has put the ball in the net, but the flag is up. There’s some confusion, though, as the referee goes to talk to his assistant, but after a pause, he confirms there will be no goal. It’s not really clear why.

At Turf Moor Carillo runs into the penalty area, takes on Tarkowski and goes down. It looked to me like the defender might have stood on a toe there, but then again maybe he didn’t. Hard to tell. Watford want a penalty, but the referee gives a goal kick.

A great chance for Burnley to score a second, as a cross from the right reaches the far post, but when Long sticks out a leg to turn it in it hits his shin and flies high.

“I emigrated from Canada to the UK five years less three days ago,” writes Hubert O’Hearn. “Know why I moved? I got really tired of dull and endless conversations about the sizes of snowfalls. And don’t get me started on ice hockey.”

The last three matches between Stoke and Spurs have finished 4-0 to Tottenham, and they’ve done it again! They attack down the right, a lovely curling cross is touched into Kane’s path by Son – lovely awareness there – and from the edge of the area the Englishman scores with a fine low shot.

Burnley have had the ball in the Watford net again, but it’s disallowed for offside. I think Cork, who had the shot, wasn’t offside but that Wood then tapped it in from the goal-line, and he was. Though of course the linesman might have just given Cork offside.

“Obviously Arfield would be the one to score in the snow, seeing as he’s Canadian,” notes Kevin Smith. “Although I agree with Mike about your definition of blizzard. Can you see across the field? Not a blizzard.” OK, I give up. It’s not a blizzard. It’s just common-or-garden snowfall, of a medium-heavy variety.

Hull have equalised against Brentford, Kamil Grosicki scoring what by all accounts is a bit of a cracker.

This all starts with Butland being caught in possession by Kane. That leads to a corner, which is half-cleared, worked back to the left and the resulting long, high cross drops on the forehead of Kane at the far post, and he heads low into goal!

Son, who has by all accounts played splendidly, sprints down the inside left channel and no defender spots him. Dele Alli does, though, plays him clean through and Son takes a touch and shoots low inside the near post.

“Haven’t seen the Zeegalaar replay but of course everyone knows (right, UK fans?) that you don’t actually have to make contact to be sent off,” notes Rick McGahey. “A dangerous studs-up challenge, an attempted kick or punch, etc fit the definition for a red card. And refs have a necessary penumbra (hey, it’s the Guardian!) of discretion so another ref might only have cautioned there, but both of the decisions would be correct within the laws of the game.” I think you’re precisely right, though I don’t know what a penumbra is.

Minor Championship update: It’s still 0-0 between Wolves and Sunderland. Hull, meanwhile, are a goal down at home to Brentford, David Meyler scoring a 47th-minute own goal.

“By Montreal standards the image of the snow in Burnley barely makes it up to what one might expect in a snow globe paper weight on sale in a tourist show or at a grand mother’s house,” sniffs Bill Bukowski.

There’s no let-up here: the 3 o’clock kick-offs have kicked back off again.

Sevilla are going to struggle to come back from this now.

I’ve seen another replay of the Zeegelaar challenge. He does fly in, he probably isn’t in control, but it’s one-footed and there’s pretty much no actual contact with Defour.

I appear to have missed a goal in Madrid. Kroos scores a fourth, though, carrying the ball forward from the halfway line, playing it to his right, taking it back again and hitting a low, first-time shot from 16 yards.

Some photographic evidence of snowfall:

The replay was inconclusive. It certainly wasn’t a fantastic tackle, and Defour’s reaction was certainly exaggerated. It could have gone either way, but I’d be surprised if they appeal.

That’s a wondergoal from Jermain Defoe! A long ball is pumped forwards, Defoe runs onto it, it bounces over his shoulder and as it drops, from an acute angle out to the right of goal, he volleys it over the keeper and in!

Scott Dann certainly likes playing Bournemouth.

Watford won’t be happy about that. Like last week, they might have had a penalty for a foul on Richarlison, get nothing from the referee and their opponents run up the other end and score! Arfield receives a low pass from the right and scores with a fine finish.

Palace take the lead! It’s another corner from the right, which isn’t properly cleared, is eventually re-centred and Dann thumps in at the far post!

A long cross from the left is headed back onto the middle of the area, and Mounie’s header should have been easily saved but the goalkeeper flops slowly down, the ball bounces beneath him and Huddersfield go two up!

That’s the equaliser for Palace, Milivojevic crashing the ball into the top right corner!

Crystal Palace have a penalty! Zaha goes past Ake too easily and goes down over Begovic’s challenge, also too easily, and the referee points to the spot. Not a lot in that, I think.
