Paddy Madden saw his effort from 12 yards go over the bar. Both sides hit the woodwork twice in an entertaining    0-0. Millwall manager Neil Harris made the bold step of dropping long serving goalkeeper David Forde who has been receiving criticism from fans in recent weeks with summer recruit Jordan Archer who made a couple of fantastic saves. Ben Thompson also started in a three man Millwall midfield. On a hot Saturday afternoon it was Millwall who were feeling the heat after just five minutes when Scunthorpe created the first clear cut chance of the game as the ball was play...

Hello! My name is Brandon and I will hopefully be helping Alex to bring you in depth reports on football matches from throughout the football leagues. I have a keen interest in football and am hoping to pursue a career in football and media and so what better place to start than a blog with a friend who wishes to go down the same route? I've only done a few practice reports so they may not be the professional standard, but hopefully I can improve my writing and analysing skills to be able to bring you a good standard of reportage on the beautiful game!

LIVERPOOL controversially made it two wins from two and kept up their 100% Premier League record this season. Christian Benteke who cost Liverpool £32.5m from Aston Villa in the summer fired home in front of the Kop 26 minutes into his Anfield debut . However, there was controversy as Philipe Coutinho who was in an offside position and he also went to strike Jordan's Henderson's cross, under the new offside rule the goal should not have been given. For Bournemouth it means two successive 1-0 defeats and they would have felt even more aggrieved when Captain Tommy Elphick's header was disallowed for a foul on Liverpool defender Dejan Lovern after 10 minutes. Brendan Rodgers fielded the same eleven that beat Stoke on the opening weekend of the season last weekend, meaning that Christian Benteke would get his home debut and leave Danny Ings waiting for his. Last seasons manager of the year Howe made two changes to the side that lost 1-0 to Aston Villa last Saturday...
