Michail Antonio Exclusive! MOTD Kickabout

Hello, footie fans.

The Premier League

is finally back after

the international break

and we have

got some fantastic fixtures to look

forward to, and I'm not just

talking about the north

London derby, I promise.

There's plenty of action coming up

on today's show, too.

Courtesy of this lot.

John Farnworth talks tricks

and skills with West Ham winger

Michail Antonio as kickabout bags

an exclusive chat with him.

Find out who came out

on top between Delle Alli

and Alexis Sanchez in this

week's top tekkers.

And we meet some future

stars of the women's game

at Newcastle United.

There's plenty more girl power

coming up later in the show, too,

so keep watching for that.

And sticking with the women's game,

there's some cracking goal to catch

up on for the first of this

week's headline hitters.

Manchester City moved to the top

of the women's super league

with a 4-0 win over Bristol City

as Chelsea dropped their first

points of the season

with a draw at Reading.

Elsewhere, this fantastic lob

from Niamh Charles gave Liverpool

a win over Birmingham,

and a quality free kick

from Jordan Knobbs rounded off

a 3-0 win for Arsenal.

Another top strike now.

We have not even reached the second

round but it has to be a contender

for goal of the season already

in the FA Cup from

Scunthorpe's Hakeeb Adelakun.

What a stunner to win the game

for his side against Northampton.

World Cup qualifying has ended

and we now know all 32 teams

who will compete at next

summer's finals in Russia.

In the European qualifiers,

four-time champions Italy failed

to make it for the first time

since 1958 after defeat

against Sweden.

Croatia saw off Greece.

Christian Eriksen's hat-trick gave

an emphatic victory to Denmark over

the Republic of Ireland,

and it was heartbreak

for Northern Ireland

as a controversial penalty

in the first leg proved decisive

as they lost out to Switzerland.

Huge commiserations

to Northern Ireland.

What a way to lose out.

Congrats, though, to all the teams

that made it through to next

summer's tournament in Russia

and I'm looking

forward to it already.

Now, where would you expect to see

a cracking free kick,

bicycle kick and amazing skills?

That's all part of

the World Cup, right?

Wrong.

All this is from you lot at home.

Oliver scored a stunning free

kick for Wigan Junior

Latics under ten Whites.

So good we have to see that again.

The keeper stood no chance.

What a goal.

Check out Chelsea fan Harry

practising his top bin free kicks.

Oh!

John Terry would be proud of that.

And here's Birmingham fan Barney

scoring a quality bicycle kick.

Check out that celebration.

We love that.

And finally, here's Thomas showing

how to nail a bin shot.

Top stuff.

Brilliant.

Thanks, guys.

Let's hope we see plenty of skills

like that this weekend

in the Premier League.

There's a full round of fixtures

to look forward to, including

the big North London derby

between Arsenal and Tottenham.

The Gunners haven't won any

of their last six Premier League

meetings against Spurs,

so they'll be hoping

their winless run ends today.

You can expect goals, too, as this

is one of the highest scoring

fixtures in the Premier League

with 141 goals being scored so far.

And could we see one of these

two on the scoresheet?

They were of course

the focus of this week's top

tekkers vote as we asked

you to choose your favourite.

Let's find out who came out on top.

Dele Alli!

Dele Alli sweeps the ball home.

Dele Alli.

Brilliant from him.

Dele Alli can wrap it

here, he's through.

Past Shay Given.

It's Dele Alli.

Eriksen, gives him the ball.

Headed by Dele Alli.

Over to Dele Alli.

Dele Alli, what a goal.

Sensational control by Dele Alli.

Chance for Spurs.

Dele Alli's onto it.

Goal for Spurs.

Spurs 2-0 Manchester City.

There's nothing he

can't do, this lad.

He's athletic, he scores goals.

To Dele Alli.

He's confident.

He just playing with a freedom.

Over to Dele Alli, what a finish.

Back to Dele Alli.

What a shot.

That's a delightful ball,

what a great goal,

Dele Alli scores it.

Now it's for Dele Alli.

Oh, what a goal.

What a player.

Yes, it was super close

this week, but Dele Alli

just took it in the end.

Although I'm gunning for Arsenal,

I'm sure all you Spurs fans will be

hoping to see more quality goals

like that from him tomorrow.

If you head online to the Kickabout

website, there's a quiz

to test your knowledge

on the North London derby.

And a new top tekkers vote, too,

for next week's show.

With the big game between Liverpool

and Chelsea at Anfield next

Saturday, we are asking

you to choose between these two

midfield maestros, the Reds' growing

Brazilian Phillipe Coutinho...

Oh, what a magnificent

strike from the Brazilian.

Or Chelsea trickster Eden Hazard.

It is a glorious goal

from Eden Hazard.

So, who's your favourite?

There can only be one winner.

Go to the kickabout

website to cast your vote.

You've got until 9am on Wednesday

the 22nd of November

and we will reveal the winner

as usual on next week's show.

Right, back to this weekend's

fixtures now and the other big game

we've got a mention in the time

between West Ham and Watford.

It's David Moyes' first game

in charge of the Hammers

and the new manager is already

having a positive impact

on the squad, according to winger

Michail Antonio.

John Farnworth recently had

an exclusive chat with him ahead

of the PlayStation Schools Cup.

I'm going to show you quite a few

skills just to show you what I do

and then we can have a little chat,

is that all right?

Have you got any freestyle moves?

I can roll it on my chest and I can

do around the world.

Yeah.

Just one.

Not as many as you're doing.

That is tasty.

Thank you much.

What's the best trick

you've done in the Prem?

The best trick I've

done in the Prem?

I've megged people what I've got

a go to trick where I drag

the ball over and stop it,

and go the other way.

I do all the time.

Antonio.

That's a nice bit of skill.

My best trick I've done in a game

was in an under 23 game

where I flicked a backheel

over someone's head.

I've always watched Payet.

He's pretty skilful.

You played with him.

What was he like?

He was quality.

He wasn't quick but he was agile.

He knew how to beat a man.

He was technically unbelievable.

He was quality.

It's being able to do it

on the training ground but it's

another thing doing it in games.

Actually bringing into

the Premier League.

You've played a lot of top players

but is there one that has really

inspired you or you thought,

wow, I can learn from him?

One player I've always

liked was Adam Lallana.

I've played with Southampton

and still to this day, I couldn't

tell you what foot he uses.

I would ask.

He would say both.

He literally would not tell you.

It's one of things where I always

wanted to be both footed

and that's what I practised.

What a goal, Michail Antonio.

This weekend, Watford away,

how important is it?

Very, very important.

The last couple of weeks,

we've got the few points so Watford

-- The last couple of weeks, we've

dropped a few points so Watford

are doing well but I believe every

team can go to, we can

get three points.

It is belief, isn't it?

It is belief.

Valencia rippling through.

It's in from Antonio.

Brilliantly finished.

You won Player of

the Year last season.

Tell me about that.

That must be amazing.

It's unbelievable.

The names that are out there.

The history of West Ham,

I'm now in the history of it.

It's amazing.

I'm hoping I can pick up my season.

Hopefully be in contention

again this year.

Talking about history,

you were first to discover West Ham

at the Olympic Stadium.

That's right, isn't it?

That's right, yeah.

That must rank in

the top of your goals.

It was my mission, I'm not

going to lie to you.

I scored in our last game

of the season and all the boys

were like, new stadium,

someone will have to score first.

Cheikhou scored in

Europe Europa League.

I was like, I've got

to get the Prem.

Got to get the Prem.

That was my goal.

I put my name in history,

a nice tick there.

Yeah.

Sweeping in a dangerous cross.

Put away by Antonio.

West Ham's first Premier League

goal in their new home.

You are playing in,

I feel the best league

in the world in the Premier League,

but it's not straightforward,

has it, getting there?

Has it been quite tough?

Yeah, it has been quite tough.

Getting from non league

to the Premier League is a milestone

for people in League 2,

League 1.

Getting the move from the

Championship to the Premier League

is probably one of the hardest

things, though, because most clubs

would rather buy abroad.

Lately, you are starting

to see it more people

progress and move on like me,

Aaron Cresswell, Andre Gray,

Chris Woods is now at Burnley.

People are progressing as well.

You're here, playing for West Ham.

What's the best bit

about being a footballer?

The best bit about being

a footballer is literally

getting up every morning,

going to training and playing

football for my job.

I get paid to play football.

There are times

I still pinch myself.

My boyhood dream.

I'm living.

Michail Antonio scores.

West Ham are in front.

Living the boyhood

dream indeed, Antonio.

Thanks, guys, top stuff.

This next lot of players have

certainly been dreaming big as

well as comes the achievements

on the greedy pitch.

Maxim won man of the match on Sunday

after scoring a hat-trick.

No wonder his brother George looks

so proud next to him.

Here's Adam in the Wessex warriors

with former star Tyrone Mings.

Adam suffers from Duchenne

muscular dystrophy but loves

playing first team in

the PowerEdge football league.

James, Lester, Chai,

Lucas, Rocco and Jamie

are the under sevens

and they won their first seven

league games in a row,

scoring over 100 goals

along the way.

This is match trophy

that he won playing

for his local in Woodley.

Finn recently lent to watch Everton

take on Watford at Goodison Park.

He is a huge pity than

and was getting to as many

live games as possible.

Finally, Chloe was awarded Player

of the Year after scoring 16 goals

last season for the Westbridge that

Colts and she now plays

for Nottingham Forest ladies.

Wow, Chloe, a future star

of the women's game there I'm sure.

You heard it here first.

I love how many girls are getting

involved with football up and down

the UK and Lauren saw that first

and recently when she

visited Newcastle United.

I'm the training ground

for Premier League

club Newcastle United.

Here, the Newcastle United

foundation are running training

sessions of female footballers

of various ages and they're hoping

to lead the way in women's football

through their women and girls play.

Who is Newcastle United's

all-time record goal-scorer?

Alan Shearer.

Yeah, OK, Alan Shearer,

you got it right.

I'm on the side.

There's actually some really,

really talented young players here,

which I came in thinking,

wow, some of them are very,

very good, so it's important

for young people to enjoy sport

and to have ambitions.

Obviously if some of them

want to play football when they're

older, that's fantastic.

The more people we can get involved

in football, whether it's girls

or boys, it's important.

What's it like meeting Isaac Hayden?

Good.

Good?

Yeah.

What do you think of him?

He's tall.

Great ball.

Unlucky.

I think it will be brilliant.

You have a female only thing

and girls only courses

and it'll be a home

for Newcastle United women as well.

How important is it that these

things exist the girls in this area?

Absolutely massive.

It brings out of their shells and

you've got some children probably

don't excel well within core

subjects in school but put them

on a football pitch and they're

probably your loudest,

biggest, best players ever seen.

I think it's going for them.

Newcastle is a hotbed for football

as most people know.

The fact that they got so many

girls engaged now, female

only programmes, it's fantastic.

What advice would you give any young

people watching that might

want to get into football?

Just enjoy it.

Play with a smile on your face.

If you make mistakes,

they make mistakes and I keep

going and get on with it.

Enjoy yourself while you're playing.

It is exciting to know that women

and girls of all ages

are being cursed to play football

and it's clear to see that the work

of the Newcastle United foundation

in providing opportunities

and a clear pathway to the top

is a ground-breaking step

in the future of the sport.

CHEERING

Thanks, guys.

of brilliance from

last year's winner.
