Hello and welcome to a very special edition of Match Of The Day

0:00:110:00:14

Kickabout.

0:00:140:00:15

Today over 300 of the UK's best players will be

0:00:150:00:17

competing in the Premier League schools tournament, so let's

0:00:170:00:19

kick things off, shall we?

0:00:190:00:29

Yes, Kickabout, we're coming from the home of

0:00:400:00:43

the champions, Stamford Bridge.

0:00:430:00:45

I'll never get tired of saying that.

0:00:450:00:47

Yeah, yeah.

0:00:470:00:49

Congrats, that's all you're getting me as a City fan.

0:00:490:00:52

Back today and as you can see, the schools tournament

0:00:520:00:54

is well underway.

0:00:540:00:57

Yes, 11,000 young people from over 1,400 schools entered the

0:00:570:01:00

competition at the start of the season and now we're down to the

0:01:000:01:04

final 40 teams.

0:01:040:01:05

Today we're going to be following two tournaments, the under

0:01:050:01:08

11 mixed and the under 13 girls and they will be hoping

0:01:080:01:11

to lift their very own version of the Premier League trophy.

0:01:110:01:15

So exciting.

0:01:150:01:17

It's so exciting.

0:01:170:01:18

They must feel like proper Premier players on this fantastic

0:01:180:01:21

pitch at this absolutely stunning beautiful stadium.

0:01:210:01:24

All right, stop going on about it.

0:01:240:01:25

Shall we check out the action?

0:01:250:01:26

Yeah.

0:01:260:01:29

Earlier today the teams came face-to-face in the

0:01:290:01:32

tunnel before the tournaments kicked off.

0:01:320:01:35

We have eight groups featuring all 20 Premier League clubs and they

0:01:350:01:38

will take part in 2 6-asides.

0:01:380:01:41

Those finishing top of the table will make

0:01:410:01:43

it to the semifinals and

0:01:430:01:44

we caught up with one team who made a bright start.

0:01:440:01:48

Look who we found, it's Hull under 11s.

0:01:480:01:53

I'm joined now by Sammy who actually scored the winning goal

0:01:530:01:56

in the first match.

0:01:560:01:58

How did that go, Sammy?

0:01:580:02:00

It was good.

0:02:000:02:02

It was a free kick from the edge of the box and I

0:02:020:02:05

just put it in the bottom corner.

0:02:050:02:07

Dad's sitting here watching you.

0:02:070:02:08

You were a former Hull player, how does

0:02:080:02:10

it feel watching your son?

0:02:100:02:11

It's really good to see the team.

0:02:110:02:13

I've been lucky to play here couple of times so there's a

0:02:130:02:16

lot of pressure on him today.

0:02:160:02:17

Is there a little bit of pressure?

0:02:170:02:20

I don't think so, no, not really!

0:02:200:02:22

Do you think you can go all the way?

0:02:220:02:26

Yeah!

0:02:260:02:28

A confident attitude from Hull there and on the other side of the

0:02:280:02:31

stand, we found some pretty dedicated fans.

0:02:310:02:34

Guys, who are we here to support?

0:02:340:02:37

Liverpool!

0:02:370:02:38

There is one person here that I'm

0:02:380:02:40

not sure about.

0:02:400:02:41

Are you sure you're here to support Liverpool, Jack?

0:02:410:02:43

Are you sure, because your coat says otherwise.

0:02:430:02:45

Take it off, let's see.

0:02:450:02:48

Hang on a second.

0:02:480:02:50

Surely not.

0:02:500:02:51

There's more.

0:02:510:02:55

You guys have travelled down for five hours this

0:02:550:02:57

morning, are you tired?

0:02:570:02:58

Not really.

0:02:580:03:00

It's been quite a while but you get used to it.

0:03:000:03:03

What time did you have to get up this morning?

0:03:030:03:05

3:00 in the morning.

0:03:050:03:07

Worth it?

0:03:070:03:09

Very.

0:03:090:03:10

We really want to see them.

0:03:100:03:12

We were very determined to make sure they won.

0:03:120:03:15

We're behind the team, Danny, we've got so much support here.

0:03:150:03:18

We've got clappers down here, we've got masks, an

0:03:180:03:21

amazing banner, so, guys, masks on, let's do this, shall we?

0:03:210:03:26

Come on, Liverpool!

0:03:260:03:27

Come on!

0:03:270:03:30

Well, the support certainly paid off as

0:03:300:03:32

Liverpool under 13's got a lot to a flyer,

0:03:320:03:35

winning their first two matches.

0:03:350:03:37

Elsewhere in the tournament, I managed to track down

0:03:370:03:39

a team I was keen to watch.

0:03:390:03:42

OK, just behind as is Sunderland versus

0:03:420:03:44

my team, Man City.

0:03:440:03:47

Sunderland are the current title holders so no doubt

0:03:470:03:50

they will be looking to retain the title.

0:03:500:03:51

They were amazing last year as well, they played so well but from

0:03:510:03:54

my point of view, I'd rather them lose right now.

0:03:540:04:01

Oh, that was close!

0:04:080:04:16

So that is it, that was the final score, 1-0.

0:04:160:04:18

Sunderland, they couldn't hack it.

0:04:180:04:20

They were really trying towards the end as well because they

0:04:200:04:23

knew they needed that goal but City win.

0:04:230:04:27

A great result there and over the under 11 tournement

0:04:270:04:30

we watched my kids in blue.

0:04:300:04:36

Chelsea versus Watford.

0:04:360:04:38

What are you saying?

0:04:380:04:40

I'm saying it's going to be a 3-0 whitewash.

0:04:400:04:43

3-0, are you kidding?

0:04:430:04:46

Absolutely.

0:04:460:04:49

They're here representing Chelsea, let's do it.

0:04:490:04:52

I saw Watford last year, they played well last year.

0:04:520:04:55

I'm going to give them a bit of credit.

0:04:550:04:58

That was last year.

0:04:580:05:00

Come on, Blues.

0:05:000:05:01

Come on, Watford.

0:05:010:05:07

Get out, get out, Watford.

0:05:070:05:14

Good run, good run.

0:05:140:05:15

Oh, that was a good effort.

0:05:150:05:20

Yes.

0:05:200:05:25

There's the final whistle.

0:05:250:05:30

That is so frustrating.

0:05:300:05:32

I am gutted for Watford.

0:05:320:05:37

So, a tough last-minute loss but congratulations

0:05:370:05:40

to Chelsea and afterwards we caught up with their north London rivals.

0:05:400:05:46

We are here with the under 11 mixed Arsenal team.

0:05:460:05:49

Yeah!

0:05:490:05:52

A little birdie tells us that there's not many

0:05:520:05:54

Arsenal fans sitting here.

0:05:540:05:56

I've heard this is a group of lies.

0:05:560:05:59

Who do you support?

0:05:590:06:00

Tottenham.

0:06:000:06:01

Tottenham?

0:06:010:06:02

Is that allowed?

0:06:020:06:04

Not really, no.

0:06:040:06:07

Stephanie, you are a Chelsea fan?

0:06:070:06:09

Yeah.

0:06:090:06:12

How does it feel to be here at the home of the champions?

0:06:120:06:15

It's weird because I never thought I'd be on this pitch.

0:06:150:06:18

I thought I'd just end up being on my little

0:06:180:06:20

football pitch next to my house.

0:06:200:06:22

Now I'm actually here.

0:06:220:06:23

Spoken like a true blue.

0:06:230:06:26

One more thing to say to you, really, blue is the colour...

0:06:260:06:29

Football is the game!

0:06:290:06:30

Legend!

0:06:300:06:33

I know that you've got a massive north

0:06:330:06:35

London derby coming up a little bit later on.

0:06:350:06:37

We're keeping our fingers crossed for you.

0:06:370:06:39

Have a good day.

0:06:390:06:40

Thank you.

0:06:400:06:47

We're here with referee, Chris.

0:06:550:06:56

You made your debut in the Premier League earlier this year.

0:06:560:07:00

How did that feel?

0:07:000:07:01

Fantastic.

0:07:010:07:02

I refereed West Bromich Albion and Southampton.

0:07:020:07:04

As a kid, it was a dream to Premier League game and I managed it.

0:07:040:07:09

Amazing, how was it?

0:07:090:07:10

Did you get a lot of stick?

0:07:100:07:12

Refs often get the brunt end of things.

0:07:120:07:15

There were a few nerves before the game but

0:07:150:07:17

once I got my first decision out of the way, I was fine.

0:07:170:07:20

How is today going?

0:07:200:07:21

I think it's fantastic.

0:07:210:07:23

It's the first one I've done but the standard of footbally

0:07:230:07:26

by everyone is brilliant.

0:07:260:07:28

The biggest tip I'd say is, enjoy it and smile.

0:07:280:07:30

Smile?

0:07:300:07:32

You're out there doing something you love

0:07:320:07:34

so just enjoy everything you're doing.

0:07:340:07:39

Well, the teams certainly did that out on the pitch and as the

0:07:390:07:42

qualifiers came to an end, it was smiles all round from Manchester

0:07:420:07:45

United, Bournemouth and Liverpool in the under 13 girls tournament

0:07:450:07:48

as they won every game and finished

0:07:480:07:51

top of their groups.

0:07:510:07:53

West Brom also qualify for the semis having gone

0:07:530:07:55

unbeaten.

0:07:550:07:58

In the under 11 teams, both Manchester clubs made it through

0:07:580:08:01

to the semifinals.

0:08:010:08:04

That's the qualifiers done.

0:08:040:08:06

Now it's time for the semis.

0:08:060:08:08

I cannot wait.

0:08:080:08:10

It's going to be absolutely incredible

0:08:100:08:11

but before that, I'm about to make your dreams come true.

0:08:110:08:17

I'm about to take you behind-the-scenes at your

0:08:170:08:19

beloved Chelsea Football Club.

0:08:190:08:24

Tyler?

0:08:240:08:26

He's gone.

0:08:260:08:29

Follow me, if you want, mate.

0:08:290:08:31

Come on, come on!

0:08:310:08:37

OK, calm down.

0:08:370:08:41

Don't freak out.

0:08:410:08:46

Calm down, calm down, mate.

0:08:460:08:50

Isn't that crazy?

0:08:500:08:54

How amazing is that?

0:08:540:08:56

He's not OK, right now.

0:08:560:08:57

He's not OK.

0:08:570:09:00

Careful.

0:09:000:09:03

No!

0:09:030:09:04

You can't lift it.

0:09:040:09:05

It's against the rules.

0:09:050:09:07

This trophy actually has its very own

0:09:070:09:10

minders who go with the trophy all over the country wherever it goes.

0:09:100:09:15

No, no.

0:09:150:09:16

I'm going to get him out of here.

0:09:160:09:18

Come on.

0:09:180:09:20

We shall see.

0:09:200:09:21

I think we had a good game but...

0:09:210:09:23

Questions?

0:09:230:09:26

Match of the Day Kickabout Gazette.

0:09:260:09:28

I'm just wondering, sources are saying there is an impostor at

0:09:280:09:31

Chelsea Football Club.

0:09:310:09:34

What are you doing, Tyler?

0:09:340:09:35

Get out of there.

0:09:350:09:36

You're not Conte.

0:09:360:09:38

Thankfully I managed to drag Mr Conte back to the

0:09:380:09:44

action when things were really hotting up in the semifinals.

0:09:440:09:49

In the under 13 girls competition, Liverpool put three past West Brom

0:09:490:09:52

to make it through to the final while Bournemouth

0:09:520:09:55

booked their spot with a

0:09:550:09:56

closely fought 1-0 win over Manchester United.

0:09:560:09:59

Over in the under 11s tournament, it was too close

0:09:590:10:02

to call.

0:10:020:10:03

OK, can you believe this?

0:10:030:10:05

Two games have now gone to penalties in the semifinals.

0:10:050:10:08

Intense.

0:10:080:10:09

We have got Crystal Palace, Chelsea

0:10:090:10:11

over here.

0:10:110:10:12

We've got City versus United over here.

0:10:120:10:14

Only two teams can go through.

0:10:140:10:18

No way!

0:10:180:10:24

This is tense, this is tense.

0:10:240:10:30

Come on.

0:10:300:10:33

Oh!

0:10:330:10:36

Crystal Palace.

0:10:360:10:37

Crystal Palace go into the final.

0:10:370:10:40

Chelsea just dropping one penalty.

0:10:400:10:45

Oh, heartache.

0:10:450:10:49

So, heartache for my boys, Chelsea.

0:10:490:10:52

Over in the other semifinal between the

0:10:520:10:54

two Manchester clubs, we join the action

0:10:540:10:56

when City and United were

0:10:560:10:57

tied 7-7 on penalties.

0:10:570:10:59

This is so tense.

0:10:590:11:04

Oh.

0:11:040:11:07

Celebrations all round then for the winners and no sooner

0:11:070:11:11

had the cheering stopped before it was time for the teams line up

0:11:110:11:14

again.

0:11:140:11:15

We have reached the first final of the day and it's the under

0:11:150:11:18

11s.

0:11:180:11:19

It's Crystal Palace versus Man City.

0:11:190:11:22

Let's hand over to our commentator.

0:11:220:11:27

Both teams won their penalty shoot outs in their respective

0:11:270:11:29

semis.

0:11:290:11:30

Crystal Palace won an all London affair against the hosts

0:11:300:11:32

Chelsea here at theor own stadium as Manchester City

0:11:320:11:35

saw off their local

0:11:350:11:36

rivals Manchester United.

0:11:360:11:39

So this is how Crystal Palace will line up.

0:11:390:11:41

Captain Milton is actually a Chelsea fan so it is a special moment him to

0:11:410:11:45

be leading out his team at Stamford Bridge.

0:11:450:11:48

Goalkeeper Spencer, hero in the semifinal

0:11:480:11:50

shoot out, not just for

0:11:500:11:52

his goalkeeping prowess, he also scored one of the Crystal Palace

0:11:520:11:55

penalties and there's plenty of pace and strength on the as well with two

0:11:550:11:58

strikers.

0:11:580:12:01

Manchester City have never won this competition before.

0:12:010:12:03

It's the fourth final this team has reached this year.

0:12:030:12:07

Their captain leads by example, he scored some

0:12:070:12:10

brilliant goals already in the Strand.

0:12:100:12:13

McIntire sums up the heart and soul of the team and look out for

0:12:130:12:16

Mulligan who starts on defence but usually covers

0:12:160:12:18

every blade of grass.

0:12:180:12:20

So, here we go then, and no messing about from City's Gonzales.

0:12:200:12:24

The Palace keeper Spencer had to be

0:12:240:12:26

really alert right from the start.

0:12:260:12:29

Manchester City's captain trying to catch Palace off guard from the

0:12:290:12:32

kick-off and he wasn't too far.

0:12:320:12:35

A busy start at the home of the Premier League champions.

0:12:350:12:38

Good strength to hold off his opponent.

0:12:380:12:40

Again, Manchester City showing a real willingness to go

0:12:400:12:43

for goal from long range.

0:12:430:12:45

Mulligan has done well to wriggle out of a tight corner.

0:12:450:12:48

Great challenge.

0:12:480:12:52

Gonzalez is following up.

0:12:520:12:54

Mightily relieved to get it away the second time.

0:12:540:12:56

It could have gone anywhere.

0:12:560:12:57

Crystal Palace will be fortunate to survive

0:12:570:12:59

that one and keep the game at 0-0.

0:12:590:13:01

Nobody is picking up.

0:13:010:13:03

He had every right to have a crack from there.

0:13:030:13:06

That is Crystal Palace's best effort of the game so far.

0:13:060:13:10

Palace growing in confidence now.

0:13:100:13:14

The keeper has been rushed into its clearance.

0:13:140:13:19

That's even closer than his last effort.

0:13:190:13:22

Having absorbed a lot of pressure early on, Crystal Palace

0:13:220:13:25

are fully up and running.

0:13:250:13:27

Now, more silky touches from Gonzales.

0:13:270:13:29

The angle is tight but he brings it in.

0:13:290:13:33

He has only got one thought on his mind there.

0:13:330:13:36

You can see the dermination on his face and he wasn't far off

0:13:360:13:40

breaking the deadlock in this under 11 Premier League schools final.

0:13:400:13:44

Two minutes left to go and still 0-0.

0:13:440:13:46

This cannot go to penalties again.

0:13:460:13:49

My heart cannot take it.

0:13:490:13:51

Surely not.

0:13:510:13:52

Tyler and Lauren think this might be going to penalties.

0:13:520:13:55

Last chance for Gonzalez to win it.

0:13:550:13:58

Oh, he has hit the post.

0:13:580:14:00

This would have won it for sure.

0:14:000:14:04

As close as we've come to a goal in the

0:14:040:14:06

final.

0:14:060:14:07

A last look at the watch from the referee.

0:14:070:14:09

That is it.

0:14:090:14:11

This final between Crystal Palace and

0:14:110:14:14

Manchester City is going to go to spot kicks.

0:14:140:14:17

We join this shoot-out at sudden

0:14:170:14:18

death.

0:14:180:14:19

It is 4-4 in the penalties.

0:14:190:14:21

Both teams have missed one and now it has come around to the

0:14:210:14:25

goalkeepers.

0:14:250:14:27

First up, Crystal Palace's Spencer.

0:14:270:14:30

And he makes no mistake.

0:14:300:14:31

He also scored in the semi, remember.

0:14:310:14:34

Now, Manchester City's Pearson.

0:14:340:14:37

That's 5-5 now.

0:14:370:14:42

No margin of error for either team.

0:14:420:14:47

He steps up for Palace.

0:14:470:14:49

Oh, he has grazed it over.

0:14:490:14:52

This is a huge opportunity now for Manchester City.

0:14:520:14:56

If they score the next penalty, then they win this

0:14:560:14:58

final.

0:14:580:15:00

It will be McIntire who steps up and he has won it!

0:15:000:15:04

McIntire scores the winning kick.

0:15:040:15:08

Manchester City are proud under 11s

0:15:080:15:11

school champions.

0:15:110:15:13

It's a final that quite literally went down to the

0:15:130:15:16

wire.

0:15:160:15:18

Guys, how does it feel, you are the schools winners?

0:15:180:15:23

Go and celebrate.

0:15:230:15:26

Champions!

0:15:260:15:31

Onto the second final of the day.

0:15:310:15:33

It's the under 13 girls and Liverpool versus Bournemouth.

0:15:330:15:36

Back to you, Connor.

0:15:360:15:39

Liverpool won their semi-final in comfortable fashion.

0:15:390:15:42

They beat West Brom by 3-0.

0:15:420:15:44

Bournemouth have had a similarly impressive run to this final.

0:15:440:15:47

They were unbeaten in the qualifiers and

0:15:470:15:49

beat Manchester United 1-0 in the semi.

0:15:490:15:52

Liverpool captain and one of the top scorers in this tournament.

0:15:520:15:58

Always worth looking out for Henderson and

0:15:580:16:02

goalkeeper Coleman is rock solid in the back.

0:16:020:16:05

She kept a clean sheet in the semifinal and has only been

0:16:050:16:08

beaten twice in the tournament and so far.

0:16:080:16:12

She's always a threat in front of goal.

0:16:120:16:16

It's a big day for midfielder Wetton who is a new recruit to the

0:16:160:16:19

team.

0:16:190:16:21

She is a technically gifted player and at the back.

0:16:210:16:27

Stamford Bridge awaits this final.

0:16:270:16:33

Bournemouth to get the game started.

0:16:330:16:36

And any clearance is blocked by Evans.

0:16:360:16:39

Not enough room to get the shot away.

0:16:390:16:41

Wetton is on hand to clear for Bournemouth.

0:16:410:16:47

Now, Henderson looking up to see who's making a run.

0:16:470:16:52

It's great vision but just too far in front of Evans.

0:16:520:16:54

The goalkeeper is alert to the danger.

0:16:540:16:56

Liverpool have brought one of the biggest

0:16:560:16:58

contingent of supporters of

0:16:580:16:59

all the clubs presented here today.

0:16:590:17:04

This is Liverpool.

0:17:040:17:05

They don't want to give her too much room.

0:17:050:17:07

Here she goes danger for Bournemouth.

0:17:070:17:10

She sweeps into cut out the cross.

0:17:100:17:13

Bournemouth are going to have to keep a really close

0:17:130:17:19

on Brough from now on.

0:17:190:17:20

The last touch came off the Liverpool player, so no corner.

0:17:200:17:24

Liverpool beginning to pull the strings in midfield.

0:17:240:17:27

There's a confidence to their passing down

0:17:270:17:30

there.

0:17:300:17:32

They are not rushed or hurried but you can tell even a few

0:17:320:17:35

fancy flicks in there as well, the confidence

0:17:350:17:37

brimming through them.

0:17:370:17:38

They're just waiting to see if an opportunity

0:17:380:17:41

will arise and then you

0:17:410:17:42

can tell they will pounce.

0:17:420:17:43

It might do now.

0:17:430:17:45

Henderson, that's really good movement.

0:17:450:17:47

And that's a magnificent goal.

0:17:470:17:49

The way she shifted her balance.

0:17:490:17:53

The speed of the footwork.

0:17:530:17:55

The devastating power of the shot.

0:17:550:17:59

It's a goal worthy of a stage like this at Stamford Bridge

0:17:590:18:02

and it's rightly gotten Liverpool in front.

0:18:020:18:08

So, suddenly Bournemouth are chasing the game.

0:18:080:18:12

Henderson is the last defender.

0:18:120:18:14

Going to have stoop here to head it away.

0:18:140:18:17

You can see the commitment from both sides in

0:18:170:18:20

this final.

0:18:200:18:22

They are giving it everything.

0:18:220:18:24

Bournemouth continue to push forward, continue to chase an

0:18:240:18:28

equaliser.

0:18:280:18:31

Here is Kelly, she is a long way out here and headed away

0:18:310:18:34

by Henderson again.

0:18:340:18:37

Bournemouth continue to push players forward.

0:18:370:18:41

She's done well to cut it out and goes for goal herself.

0:18:410:18:45

Just couldn't catch it cleanly enough.

0:18:450:18:47

That was a long way out but Bournemouth simply

0:18:470:18:50

have to try their luck now.

0:18:500:18:52

With time running out.

0:18:520:18:53

Liverpool continuing to outmuscle their

0:18:530:18:55

opponents in midfield.

0:18:550:18:57

Here's Brough again.

0:18:570:18:59

Creates the space and that could be the goal that seals the

0:18:590:19:03

win.

0:19:030:19:06

Bournemouth have giving it everything in trying to get back

0:19:060:19:09

into the game but Liverpool now have a cushion

0:19:090:19:11

for their lead and it's a

0:19:110:19:14

really good finish from the captain.

0:19:140:19:16

Still Bournemouth battle on.

0:19:160:19:18

Wetton is the latest to have a go but it has not

0:19:180:19:22

been their day so far.

0:19:220:19:23

Liverpool now searching for a third to really wrap up the game.

0:19:230:19:29

The shot was well saved by Saunders.

0:19:290:19:34

And that is it.

0:19:340:19:36

Liverpool have beaten Bournemouth to win the

0:19:360:19:38

under 13 Premier League schools tournament.

0:19:380:19:43

How does it feel to have come away from today

0:19:430:19:45

as the winners?

0:19:450:19:47

Incredible.

0:19:470:19:49

Did you expect to win?

0:19:490:19:51

Yeah.

0:19:510:19:52

They did expect to win!

0:19:520:19:54

So, there you have it.

0:19:540:20:00

What a brilliant tournament.

0:20:000:20:02

Some fantastic talent and as the trophies

0:20:020:20:05

are lifted high by the winning teams, Manchester City for the under

0:20:050:20:09

11s and Liverpool for the under 13s.

0:20:090:20:14

What a day it's been.

0:20:140:20:14

It's my first time here and I have absolutely loved it.

0:20:140:20:17

The talent has been absolutely incredible.

0:20:170:20:23

Congratulations to Manchester City and Liverpool and that is it from us

0:20:230:20:25

today but before we go.

0:20:250:20:27

Come on, give me that.

0:20:270:20:30

Have this.

0:20:300:20:31

I know you want to.

0:20:310:20:33

Come on, you can do it.

0:20:330:20:34

Come on, come on.

0:20:340:20:35

What are you saying?

0:20:350:20:36

Top right?

0:20:360:20:40

Oh!

0:20:400:20:48

Oh, my one dream of scoring at Stamford Bridge.

0:20:480:20:58

Go on, get out of here, you've shamed yourself.

0:20:590:21:02

See you next week.
