Premier League leaders Norwich in the first Old Farm league derby since 1985.
GOAL! Aberdeen 1-1 Hilbernian (Youan 18) That didn’t take long. Some blooper DVD defending has allowed Elie Youan to equalise for Hibs at Pittodrie.
On this day in 1985… Charlie Nicholas scores a late winner for Arsenal at Old Trafford. Niall Quinn, whose shot led to the goal, later described the match as “caveman football”.

“How could you forget?” sniffs Simon McMahon. “Also on this day, Rob, ten years ago, was the last time Dundee United beat Celtic, 2-1 at Tannadice, the goals coming from Nadir Cifcti and Stuart Armstrong. We play them tomorrow, in what will be Brendan Rodgers’ first visit to Tannadice, as United spent the entirety of his first spell at Celtic, and also last season, in the Scottish Championship, so I’m sure all United fans will be keen to wish him a Merry Christmas…”
Leeds United, who have won their last eight games at Elland Road, are ahead already through Dan James. Manor Solomon did the hard yards and gave James a tap-in.
Isak ran onto a cross that wasn’t properly cleared and rattled a first-time shot past Muric. The goal was scored after 25 seconds, though it took a couple of minutes to be awarded.
Isak was onside and the goal stands!
VAR check! Ipswich 0-0 Newcastle An early goal from Alexander Isak was ruled out for offside but it’s being checked, and checked, and checked. And…
“Talking about managers, while Manchester suffers, the Steel City is enjoying some strength just now,” writes Jeremy Boyce. “Chris Wilder is doing his stuff with the Blades and looking good for a return to the Prem, meanwhile Danny Rohl has done a great job with the Owls since the Munoz fiasco, despite their financial difficulties, currently up in ninth and threatening the play-off places. The next derby could be pretty tasty.”
