Ruud van Nistelrooy might have made a mistake in taking the Leicester job. Evanilson and Chris Wood are brilliant, while Marc Guehi had his redemption.
Brentford 4-1 Leicester: A Ruud awakening for Steve Cooper’s replacement
“I can’t wait to start,” Ruud van Nistelrooy told one reporter before watching his new Leicester side from the stands for the first time against Brentford. Ninety chastening minutes later, the Dutchman might have been checking the fine print in his contract for an exit clause.
Van Nistelrooy surely cannot have been caught off guard by the standard of this squad but witnessing the crushing incompetence of it first hand might have brought home the gravity and inherent gamble of his decision to make this his first Premier League job.
And if Leicester owner Aiyawatt Srivaddhanaprabha was furious with his squad before, this cannot have helped.
It was the usual start to a caretaker manager reign for the Foxes, as Ben Dawson saw Jamie Vardy shrug off Ethan Pinnock to set up Facundo Buonanotte’s opener.
But Brentford’s ludicrous record at home and remarkable attacking productivity combined with Leicester’s rank defensive ineptitude to create the most inevitable of all comebacks.
None of the goals were flattering but the second and third placed particularly harsh spotlights on the backline.
With Caleb Okoli off the pitch receiving treatment, six Leicester players were in the area without any pretence of shape or organisation as Bryan Mbeumo’s low ball found Kevin Schade to make it 2-1.
There was slightly more cohesion as Brentford surged forward about 20 minutes later, but three players marking Yoane Wissa felt like a choice when James Justin left Schade and Keane Lewis-Potter behind him on the left flank completely unmarked.
Schade took full advantage with an unlikely hat-trick as the passing of Mikkel Damsgaard proved especially problematic for a Leicester side in more trouble than their position in the table suggests.

Crystal Palace 1-1 Newcastle: A Guehi old time
It felt like the most predictable goal of the entire Premier League season came on the opening weekend. With apologies to Aston Villa and Jhon Duran, they will have to relinquish that title to Marc Guehi’s strike for Newcastle.
The Magpies drew 1-1 with one shot to Crystal Palace’s 15 and that wasn’t even how they scored. That instead came about from a free-kick routine which resulted in Anthony Gordon’s centre being bundled in by Guehi.
It was one of only two possible scenarios, the other being a centre-half performance singlehandedly channelling peak Baresi and Maldini from a player Newcastle fruitlessly pursued all summer.
But a double redemption act ensured a share of the spoils. Daniel Munoz’s inexplicable first-half miss from a matter of yards out looked to be incredibly costly until he converted Guehi’s cross in stoppage time. It was the least Palace deserved from a game which can only prompt more questions of Eddie Howe.
Nottingham Forest 1-0 Ipswich: Wood you believe it?
After a pair of confidence-sapping defeats to clubs in 5th and 10th, Nottingham Forest are back. Only Liverpool, Brentford, Aston Villa and Chelsea have accrued more points against bottom-half teams than Nuno Espirito Santo’s side and try as they might, that was a tide of momentum Ipswich could not fight against.
That and Chris Wood. His ninth goal of the season, a penalty after Sammie Szmodics fouled Jota early in the second half, brought the New Zealander level with Bryan Roy as Forest’s all-time top Premier League scorer.
It was a deficit Ipswich were always likely to struggle overhauling. They do not gain many points from losing positions, nor do Forest generally lose them when winning. The first goal was of the utmost importance and even more so on one of those rarer afternoons when Liam Delap encounters a defence he cannot barge through almost entirely on his own.
The 21-year-old has a bright career ahead of him, but even just matching the output and consistency of someone like Wood would be a phenomenal achievement.
Wolves 2-4 Bournemouth: Evan almighty as Sa pays the penalty
There is something charming about seeing the football food chain working flawlessly in real time. Several rungs separate each of Bayern Munich, Tottenham and Bournemouth yet all three were brought together by a domino effect of record-breaking transfers.
The European giants signed Harry Kane in summer 2023. The member of the established Premier League elite who sold him waited a year to identify and secure his replacement in Dominic Solanke. The aspirational mid-table side hoping to become an accepted top-flight side found his successor in the developmental area of all clubs: Portugal.
Evanilson has been an excellent addition to this Bournemouth team, which has moved seamlessly on from a 21-goal forward to one similarly selfless, skilled in build-up play and spirited when it comes to workrate.
The Gary O’Neil derby should have been defined by the performance of Matheus Cunha based on recent form but it was a different expensive Brazilian centre-forward who dictated the game. Evanilson won three penalties – all dispatched by Justin Kluivert – by preying on Jose Sa’s naivety, and helped knit together the wonderful move which Milos Kerkez dispatched to create a scoreline gap Wolves never could close.
Kane is a freakish case but Solanke and Evanilson might both be judged harshly by fools whose assessments of a forward fail to extend beyond their goal records. The pair have four Premier League goals each for their new clubs but far more important is how they bring everything together in attack and even lead the defence from the front. Bournemouth should be proud of a recruitment model which has found such similar lynchpins.

Gary Neville claimed Arsenal have a modern-day Thierry Henry and Robert Pires relationship as Martin Odegaard slotted a penalty in the Gunners’ clash with West Ham.
Mikel Arteta’s side roared into a 4-0 lead at the London Stadium thanks to goals from Gabriel Magalhaes, Leandro Trossard, Odegaard and Havertz, before Bukayo Saka scored from the spot to give them an incredible 5-2 lead at half-time after Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Emerson had pegged them back.
Odegaard played a delightful dinked pass through to Saka in the build-up to Trossard’s goal, but it was the Norway international’s penalty that sparked memories of Henry and Pires for Neville on commentary.
Saka won the penalty and looked as though he would take the spot kick having been the usual penalty taker in recent seasons, but the England international was in fact holding the ball for Odegaard, with the captain stepping up to score Arsenal’s fourth.
Neville flip-flopped as he watched the moment unfold, eventually claiming that Saka and Odegaard are the new Henry and Pires when it comes to penalties.
He said on Sky Sports commentary: “There’s no Henry-Pires relationship here where if you get fouled, you don’t take the penalty… That’s confused us all, there is an Henry-Pires relationship.
“The Henry-Pires relationship of 2024 is Saka and Odegaard.”

Neville was also full of praise for Gabriel, who nodded in Arsenal’s opener from Saka’s corner.
The Brazilian was seen speaking to Saka and other Gunners players ahead of the delivery, seemingly in charge from start to finish.
“That is just incredible – Gabriel has just conducted that goal from start to finish. I can’t think of a more important place when defending corners than the near post,” said Neville.
“The quality of the delivery in is outstanding though and these Arsenal corners need special attention.”
Over on BBC Radio 5 Live, former Republic of Ireland midfielder Andy Reid added: “Straight away the Arsenal staff go to hug the set-piece coach [Nicolas Jover].
“It’s a brilliant ball in, there’s not a lot of pace on the ball, but it’s really accurate.
“Gabriel gets free and he has the movement from the back to the front post – he will not get an easier header.
“He has the desire to get his head on the ball, but the delivery is key.”
Danish scientists conducted a study that found that Instagram does not remove dangerous content about self-harm. Social network algorithms actively contribute to the distribution of such materials among teenagers.
Данські вчені заявили, що соціальна мережа компанії мета активно сприяє розширенню контенту про самоушкодження, не видаляючи відверті зображення і закликаючи користувачів таких публікацій подружитися. Прошу вибачення УНН за запрошення на The Guardian.
Details
Danish researchers created a private self-harm network on the social media platform, including fake profiles of people aged 13 and older, in which they shared 85 self-harm-related materials that gradually increased, including blood, razor blades and calls for self-harm.
The aim of the study was to verify Meta's claim that it has significantly improved its processes for removing malicious content using artificial intelligence. The tech company claims to remove about 99% of malicious content before it is reported.
However, the organization Digital ansvar, which provides appropriate Digital Development, found that during the experiment, which lasted a month, not a single such dangerous image was removed.
According to representatives of Digitalt ansvar, insufficient moderation of the platform indicates that it does not comply with EU legislation.
The Digital Services Act requires large digital services to identify systemic risks, including predicted negative effects on physical and mental well-being.
Content that encourages self-harm is contrary to our policy, and we remove it when we discover it. In the first half of 2024, we posted more than 12 million suicide-related content on Instagram, 99% of which we removed proactively
– said representatives of the company Meta.
However, research by Danish experts has shown that instead of trying to close the network about self-harm, Instagram's algorithm actively helped spread it. The study found that 13-year-olds communicate with all members of the group about self-harm after they start contacting one of its participants.
The study states that " this shows that Instagram's algorithm actively promotes the formation and distribution of self-harm networks.
