FOOTBALL fans are buzzing for a bumper edition of Match of the Day tonight.
There were just three 3pm kick-offs in the Premier League on Saturday.
But they more than delivered.
The most dull of the three games was a five-goal thriller between Newcastle and Everton.
The Toffees scored within 100 seconds of Newcastle equalisers twice to secure a 3-2 win, protected by a Jordan Pickford wondersave in injury time.
At the same time, Liverpool thrashed West Ham 5-2 with seven different goalscorers.

But the absolute blockbuster came, somewhat surprisingly, at Turf Moor.
Brentford raced into a 3-0 lead but Burnley pegged them back to 3-3 with a stunning comeback.
Brentford went back in front in injury time while Burnley had TWO late goals controversially ruled out by VAR – including what they thought was another leveller in the 98th minute.
It means the three games produced a staggering 19 GOALS.

Manchester City’s trip to Leeds was the evening kick-off while the day’s Premier League action got underway at the Vitality, where Bournemouth and Sunderland played out a 1-1 draw.
But fans can barely wait to flick on BBC One at 10.30pm and catch up on the drama.
One said on social media: “MOTD going to be wild tonight.”
Another wrote: “Can’t wait for today’s MOTD. PL is doing magic for me today.”
A third added: “MOTD should be a belter tonight.”
And a final user commented: “Blimey, Match of the Day is going to be good today. Goals galore!”
