I watched the replay last night, great game.
That offside goal by Kuryu Matsuki from the free kick hurt. What a volley, and he was only a step offside.

QPR defeated Cardiff City 2-1 ovrnight
Rumarn Burrell struck twice as Queens Park Rangers claimed a 2-1 victory over Cardiff City to climb to second in the early-season Championship table.
Rangers went ahead in scruffy fashion late in the first half when a corner was not cleared and Burrell's shot deflected in off Yousef Salech.
Jamaica forward Burrell, who had not scored since January, then doubled the advantage with a much sharper finish as the hosts dominated for a spell at the start of the second period.
Cardiff gave themselves hope of a comeback when Perry Ng drilled home emphatically from just inside the area 15 minutes from time, but Rangers held on to make it 10 points from the first four league games of 2026-27.

Middlesbrough draw 1 all with Burnley overnight - a point on the road!
Burnley's winless start to the season continued as they came from behind to earn a point against Middlesbrough.
Aidan Morris' lovely finish from just outside the box sailed past Clarets goalkeeper Max Weiss to give Middlesbrough the lead in the first half.
But the hosts hit back in style after the break when Ugo Raghouber struck home from outside the box with a stunning finish.
Neither side could find a decisive goal in the latter stages however, with Burnley still without a win in 90 minutes in all competitions this season.
The Clarets' one win this term came in their season-opening Carabao Cup tie against Notts County on penalties last month, while their most recent league win at home came way back in October 2025 when they beat Leeds in the Premier League.

WHU 4 Wolves 2 for our first win of the year
Hopefully that is the turning point

The Hammers kick-start their season winnings with a dominant 4-2 defeat of Wolves.
West Ham secured a first Championship win of the season by beating Wolves 4-2 at the London Stadium.
Divine Mukasa's wonder strike and Jarrod Bowen's penalty put the Hammers in control, only for Marshall Monetsi to make it 2-1 before half-time.
Mukasa's second and a Konstantinos Mavropanos close-range finish all but secured the win, before an own goal by the Greek defender rounded off the evening.
Nuno Espirito Santo's side move up to 11th, while his old club are third - two points behind second-placed Charlton.

Liverpool score twice early against Ipswich Town and that was enough.
Liverpool made light work of newly promoted Ipswich Town as Alexander Isak scored his first double for the club at Portman Road to secure their first Premier League win this season.
The Sweden striker produced his most devastating performance since joining from Newcastle United for a British record £125m transfer fee 12 months ago, securing victory for his side by firing past Kjell Scherpen twice inside the opening nine minutes.
The win in Suffolk was also the first of Andoni Iraola's tenure, ensuring he avoided becoming the club's first manager since Brendan Rodgers to fail to win any of his opening three Premier League games.
The result means Ipswich drop to 13th in the table, while the visitors climb to fifth before the other Premier League fixtures this weekend.

Your awesome thanks 🙏
Tottenham have NOT been awarded a Premier League penalty since Dominic Solanke scored against Brighton on 25th May 2025.
Their last away league penalty was Harry Kane’s at Villa Park on 13th May 2023.
At the time, Ipswich Town were a League One club. Since then, Ipswich have been promoted to the Championship, promoted to the Premier League, relegated and promoted to the Premier League again, all while #Tottenham are still awaiting another away league penalty.
Could it happen this game against Forest?

Newcastle leave it late to come back to draw their match with Bournemouth 1 all.
Newcastle fought back from 2-0 down to earn a hard-fought Premier League point at home to Bournemouth thanks to Jacob Ramsey's late equaliser.
The Cherries had taken an early lead when Alex Scott's deflected shot looped into the box and Marcus Tavernier stole a couple of yards on Amar Dedic at the back post and poked the ball under Lukas Hornicek.
Newcastle fans booed the officials after the goal - aggrieved by what they thought was a foul in an earlier phase of play after some grappling between Adrien Truffert and Anthony Elanga.
Bournemouth added a second when Justin Kluivert's fizzing long-range effort hit the post, bounced off the back of Hornicek and dropped to Alex Scott.
The England midfielder's effort from a tight angle spooned off Malick Thiaw beyond Hornicek and was chalked up as an own goal.
Newcastle pulled one back moments later when Harvey Barnes cut inside from the left and curled a stunning right-footed effort into the top corner.
A breathless and entertaining first half was followed by a second period which became more of an arm wrestle.
Newcastle gave a 63rd-minute debut to Belgium forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, signed from Lille for £51m before the transfer window shut, in a bid to provide a bit more impetus.
Bournemouth looked to have shown showed the necessary grit to see out the remainder of the game only for Ramsey to strike with two time minutes of normal time remaining.
A Newcastle attacking move culminated in Thiaw, with his back to goal, knocking the ball down in the box and Ramsey seizing on it to score with a low cushioned finish into the corner of the net.

Southampton draw 1 all with Lincoln City overnight.
Lincoln City's record signing Mikkel Ladefoged came off the bench to rescue a point against Southampton with his first goal for the Imps.
The Danish striker met a Reeco Hackett cross at the back post to deny Southampton their first win away from home this season.
Brazilian defender Welington had put Saints ahead in stunning fashion in the first half, the defender's thumping shot from 30 yards flying past keeper George Wickens as he dived at full stretch.
Leo Scienza was denied a second for Saints after the break, as the winger bent a shot off the far post before the ball bounced across the face of goal and off the opposite upright.
While Lincoln squandered a number of chances to pull a goal back, substitute Ladefoged eventually came up with the finishing quality they have desperately lacked in the early weeks of the season.

Brentford and Sunderland draw 1 all in a game where both teams had chances.
Enzo le Fee scored a late penalty to rescue a point for Sunderland in a hard-fought draw with Brentford.
The French midfielder sent keeper Caoimhin Kelleher the wrong way from the spot after defender Keane Lewis-Potter was punished for holding substitute Wilson Isidor in the area with eight minutes to go.
Vitaly Janelt had scored a fine goal early in the second half for Brentford after they recovered from an opening period in which Sunderland completely dominated.
Brentford remain unbeaten this season but Lewis-Potter's over-eagerness to hold Isidor ensured Sunderland avoided a second defeat of the season
The first half was goalless but there was some early drama when Dan Ballard thought he had put Sunderland in front with a fine finish.
However, new signing Kevin Danso was adjudged to be in an offside position and blocking Brentford goalkeeper Kelleher's view after a lengthy video assistant referee (VAR) review.
Le Fee rattled the post soon after with a fizzed strike as Sunderland looked the most likely to score in the opening 45 minutes.
Brentford boss Keith Andrews was clearly not happy at the break and he made a triple substitution with Jaidon Anthony, Yehor Yarmolyuk and Aaron Hickey on for Dango Ouattara, Mamadou Sangare and Michael Kayode.
Then they took the lead in the 57th minute minute when Sunderland's Nordi Mukiele got his head to a cross from Mikkel Damsgaard but Janelt cut across the ball brilliantly to send a shot spinning into the top corner.
Anthony thought he had a second for Brentford but referee Thomas Bramall ruled the Bees forward had kicked the ball out of a hesitant Roefs' hands and the VAR agreed after a short check.

Leeds and Brighton share a 1 all draw.
Leeds were denied a first Premier League win at American Express Stadium as Brighton came from behind to earn a share of the spoils.
Daniel Farke's side appeared on course for their first victory at the Seagulls in more than 17 years when Jayden Bogle opened the scoring after 15 minutes.
But after missing a host of opportunities to put the game beyond the home side, Leeds were punished with 18 minutes remaining when Luka Vuskovic headed home his first goal for Albion since his club-record move from Tottenham this summer.
The result keeps the teams neck and neck in the table, with Leeds eighth and Brighton ninth after three matches of the new campaign.
Leeds made the breakthrough early on when Bogle finished into an empty net after a pass across the face of goal from Ao Tanaka.
The defender's first Premier League goal of the season came after Bart Verbruggen had parried the ball into the path of Tanaka when failing to keep hold of Dominic Calvert-Lewin's header from inside the area.
It was the third time already this season that Brighton had conceded in the opening 15 minutes of a match, having shipped two goals during the same time period in last week's 4-3 defeat by Chelsea.
It could have gone from bad to worse for the hosts only a couple of minutes later had Vuskovic not cleared Calvert-Lewin's effort off the line and Tanaka's volley not skimmed the top of the crossbar.
Brighton did respond shortly afterwards by registering their first attempts of the game through Pascal Gross and Diego Gomez, with the latter testing James Trafford for the first time.
It took less than three minutes for Verbruggen to be called into action at the start of the second half as he produced a terrific save with his feet to keep out a low effort from Anton Stach.
Leeds thought they had finally doubled their lead when Tanaka applied a classy, first-time finish to Stach's set-piece delivery, but the Japan midfielder's effort was ruled out for offside.
That near miss sparked Brighton into life and the hosts forced Trafford into three saves in the space of six minutes during a dominant spell midway through the second half.
The spell of dominance paid dividends in the closing stages as new signing Vuskovic connected with Maxim de Cuyper's corner to head past Trafford at the back post.
Brighton missed the chance to snatch victory when Gross fired over from inside in the area in the final minute of normal time.

Crystal Palace defeats Fulham 3-2 overnight.
Ben Chilwell scored on his Crystal Palace return as the Eagles came from behind twice to earn a 3-2 win at Fulham.
Chilwell, 29, re-signed for Palace on Tuesday on a free transfer from Strasbourg, having spent the second half of the 2024-25 season there on loan from Chelsea.
Within three minutes of replacing fellow left wing-back Tyrick Mitchell off the bench, who scored Palace's first two goals, Chilwell latched on to a loose ball as Fulham failed to clear an attack from Pierre Sage's side and thumped the ball home.
The Whites had initially gone ahead early in the first half via a deflected effort from teenager Josh King, only to be cancelled out by Mitchell's close-range effort from a tight angle.
Spanish winger Cesar Palacios then opened his Fulham account following his summer move from Real Madrid to give Alvaro Arbeloa's side a lead at the break.
Mitchell equalised for a second time at the start of the second half, pouncing as the hosts made a mess of clearing his initial effort before his intervention trickled in to level the game.
Victory for Palace sees Sage claim his first win as head coach after he replaced Oliver Glasner over the summer.
Meanwhile, Fulham have lost three straight league games since the arrival of ex-Real boss Arbeloa.

Manchester City score a 1 nil win over a determined Coventry City
Manchester City highlighted their early season credentials by maintaining their 100% winning record after three Premier League games, but had to cling on to leave newly promoted Coventry still searching for their first point of the campaign.
The result was ultimately a satisfying one for City manager Enzo Maresca after giving debuts to Iliman Ndiaye and £125m signing Enzo Fernandez, with the Argentine drafted in minutes before kick-off after Nico O'Reilly sustained an injury in the warm-up.
City's star striker Erling Haaland was the match-winner, powerfully heading home the only goal of the afternoon after Antoine Semenyo dug out a cross to the far post. Fernandez played a key part in the goal with a slide-rule pass to the Ghanaian.
On another day, Norway striker Haaland could have had a hat-trick. He had a thumping effort pushed away by visiting goalkeeper Carl Rushworth and another close-range strike in the second half ruled out for offside.
Rayan Cherki turned inside and struck against the foot of a post after being set up by Fernandez, but City were thankful to goalkeeper Gianluigi Donnarumma, who made a string of saves.
The Italy captain kept out Jack Rudoni's diving header at the far post and Loum Tchaouna's low strike with a full-length save, and stood tall to deny substitute Ellis Simms late on.
Frank Lampard's men should have gone ahead when Taiwo Awoniyi picked up a loose pass from Semenyo and ran through on goal, but the Nigerian struck wide to leave Coventry without a goal this season.

Spurs come away with a point drawing 0-0 against home side Nottingham Forest
Tottenham are still waiting for their first Premier League win of the season after a scrappy draw at Nottingham Forest.
Roberto de Zerbi's expensively assembled side had 12 shots but failed to get any of those on target at the City Ground to continue their poor start in the top flight.
They avoided defeat after Neco Williams' second-half goal was ruled out, the full-back adjudged to have bundled the ball in with his arm after some calamitous Tottenham defending.
Micky van de Ven nodded Spurs' best chance wide but the visitors, who started Savio and Omar Marmoush for the first time together, were unable to find a breakthrough.
Including add-ons, Tottenham's summer outlay is over £350m and more is expected from the team after three winless top-flight games.
They are still trying to find an identity following 10 senior arrivals and a point can be viewed as a posiitve but they faced a Forest side also winless and finding their feet under Oliver Glasner.
The hosts felt aggrieved to have Williams' goal disallowed and are still looking for their first home goal of the season as Glasner - who gave a home debut to £50m striker Liam Delap - tries to put his stamp on his new side.

Aston Villa draw nil all with promoted side Hull City
Aston Villa remain winless three games into the new Premier League season after a goalless draw at newly promoted Hull City.
Unai Emery's side, who were beaten by Brighton and Arsenal in their opening fixtures, went close to scoring on several occasions but Hull's defence stood strong to ensure the points were shared.
The Tigers, meanwhile, went the closest to a breakthrough in the 65th minute when Mohamed Belloumi's curling effort beat Villa goalkeeper Zion Suzuki but not the crossbar.
Villa threatened early through Nicolas Jackson whose header from Ian Maatsen's cross drifted just wide inside two minutes, while Ross Barkley sliced an effort from inside the box narrowly wide in the 25th minute.
The biggest talking point of the first half came right at the stroke of half-time when Jackson went down in the box while attempting to reach George Hemmings' cross and after contact from defender Nobel Mendy.
However, Villa's penalty appeals were turned down by both referee Michael Oliver and the video assistant referee (VAR).
John McGinn failed to keep his shot down with just the keeper to beat after Jackson found the Villa captain unmarked in front of goal early in the second half before Algerian winger Belloumi hit the woodwork for Hull.
Villa pressed for a winner but it was Hull who were close to finding one through Mohamed-Ali Cho, only to be denied by Suzuki in the 89th minute.
The Tigers are second with seven points from three games while Villa are 17th.
