:00:55. > :01:01.Good evening. Welcome to Match Of The Day 2, where top footballers of
:01:01. > :01:06.the past are behind me with top footballers of the present ready to
:01:06. > :01:59.entertain us. Lots of games to enjoy this evening.
:01:59. > :02:04.And we begin with some local rivalry.
:02:04. > :02:09.You assemble a £100 million squad for times like this. Spurs return to
:02:09. > :02:12.London after an energy-sapping trip to Russia.
:02:12. > :02:16.West Ham have had a week to prepare for the short hop to White Hart
:02:16. > :02:18.Lane. If that's advantage for the
:02:18. > :02:22.visitors, it's welcome. They haven't won at Spurs in 12 attempts and
:02:22. > :02:26.haven't won any of their last eight away in the Premier League.
:02:26. > :02:32.And, they've failed to score in the last four. Watching this London
:02:32. > :02:44.Derby, Steve Wilson. Always a proper London Derby this
:02:44. > :02:49.between two teams who've wanted the Olympic Stadium. The Hammers have
:02:49. > :02:51.won only three of the last 25 meetings. Spurs arrived back from
:02:51. > :02:56.Moscow at 3 am where Defoe got his meetings. Spurs arrived back from
:02:56. > :03:01.seventh goal from just four cup starts. He gets his Premier League
:03:01. > :03:03.start in the season today, his 350th game for Tottenham and against his
:03:03. > :03:06.start in the season today, his 350th former club.
:03:06. > :03:10.West Ham haven't scored away from home yet and were the lowest scorers
:03:10. > :03:12.in the top seven divisions in England away from home last season.
:03:12. > :03:16.Injuries to front players has been England away from home last season.
:03:16. > :03:20.the issue. Today, Diame will be the nearest thing they have to a centre
:03:20. > :03:28.forward with Vaz Te and Downing in support. Look out for Morrison in
:03:28. > :03:32.midfield, a star in the making they say.
:03:32. > :03:37.Tottenham have been consistently excellent this season.
:03:37. > :03:44.Just the defeat against Arsenal which would have been the one they
:03:44. > :03:48.didn't want to lose. Eriksen. Dembele. Walker making the
:03:48. > :03:57.run. Goes for power and he isn't far
:03:57. > :04:09.away. Towns end caught that. Probably a yard wide in the end.
:04:09. > :04:22.Townsend with a clever ball. Noble got a touch. Paulinho on the turn.
:04:22. > :04:33.Good play by towns evidence. -- Townsend.
:04:33. > :04:36.AVB will be a little concerned about the labours of his side in this
:04:36. > :04:46.first half so far. Nolan losing it to Townsend.
:04:46. > :04:59.Defoe in the box and he nearly got in front of Tompkins. Very close to
:04:59. > :05:05.getting a touch on this. Hodgson watching a few of his
:05:05. > :05:10.charges here today. Morrison. Claiming handball by
:05:10. > :05:15.Dembele. The ref says play on. Vaz Te ahead of him. Morrison skipping
:05:15. > :05:23.through. Taken out by Sigurdsson. It's at least a fee kick.
:05:23. > :05:27.-- free kick. Good advantage. Almost a forearm smash.
:05:27. > :05:31.A free kick to West Ham. Downing would have long ago lost count of
:05:31. > :05:34.the number of times he's taken free kicks from this kind of range.
:05:35. > :05:41.Noble's on it as well. And it's a training ground... Nolan,
:05:41. > :05:46.oh, what a good idea! And it so nearly worked. Everyone
:05:46. > :05:51.expecting a Downing curler. Noble over the top.
:05:51. > :05:55.To Nolan and almost a beauty. The problem for West Ham is you only get
:05:55. > :06:00.that element of surprise once. Sam Allardyce will be amongst those who
:06:01. > :06:08.thought it deserved better. Tottenham might reflect they need a
:06:08. > :06:21.goal. Here is Vertonghen.
:06:21. > :06:26.Sigurdsson. Good turn by Eriksen. Paulinho wriggling through and good
:06:26. > :06:31.save by Jaaskelainen. He was on side, Paulinho couldn't reach it.
:06:31. > :06:38.The chance is gone. Here is the chance right at the start of the
:06:38. > :06:41.second half. He's on side. He'll be disappointed he couldn't beat
:06:41. > :06:46.Jaaskelainen. It's a good save. The chance he's been waiting for, Defoe.
:06:46. > :06:48.Almost squeezed underneath the West Ham keeper.
:06:48. > :06:58.West Ham haven't beaten Spurs at White Hart Lamb since 1999.
:06:58. > :07:04.Townsend into Paulinho. -- White Hart Lane.
:07:04. > :07:10.Foul. Reid on Paulinho. Sigurdsson, Dawson, Vertonghen,
:07:10. > :07:17.Defoe inside the West Ham penalty area, or on the edge of it.
:07:17. > :07:22.Eriksen's ball in was a beauty. How it didn't end up in the back of the
:07:22. > :07:28.West Ham net he's not sure. Three of them attacked it. Paulinho, Dawson
:07:28. > :07:40.and Vertonghen, they couldn't get a telling touch.
:07:40. > :07:45.Jaaskelainen seemed bamboozled. Dembele. Paulinho to Defoe. Defoe!
:07:45. > :07:51.Really caught that. Jaaskelainen's got something on that. He is saying
:07:51. > :08:08.to the referee he didn't. Defoe really lashed it. Generated
:08:08. > :08:10.fantastic power on that. Downing.
:08:10. > :08:19.Did Walker put that behind for a corner? He did.
:08:19. > :08:26.Noble is a long way away from Walker. West Ham have an unexpected
:08:26. > :08:31.corner here. Noble's corner. Header from Tom
:08:31. > :08:36.sins. Saved. Tompkins again. Shout for handball from the fans. More
:08:36. > :08:42.from the fans than the players against Dembele, but Lloris made an
:08:42. > :08:46.important save there. West Ham fans behind their goal
:08:46. > :08:53.wondered whether Dembele hadn't used his hand here, Tompkins certainly
:08:53. > :09:00.used his head. Lloris with a hand up to it.
:09:00. > :09:06.It's suddenly a much better game. West Ham have ridden the storm,
:09:06. > :09:18.created a chance or two of their own. They have got a corner here.
:09:18. > :09:22.Can Tomkins do it again? Oh, Reid. It's in.
:09:22. > :09:26.West Ham lead. Winston Reid, his first effort was
:09:26. > :09:30.blocked by his team-mate, but the second was straight in the back of
:09:30. > :09:38.the Tottenham net and look at the joy from the West Ham fans.
:09:38. > :09:42.His first effort hit Kevin Nolan but came straight back to him. I imagine
:09:42. > :09:48.Nolan would be pretty happy about the fact that it did. I think it
:09:48. > :09:55.would have gone in but for his block, inadvertent though it was.
:09:55. > :10:01.Didn't matter. Tottenham 0, West Ham United 1.
:10:01. > :10:10.AVB is thinking, we've made one change.
:10:10. > :10:17.Noble. Lovely ball. Vaz Te is on side. Good save by Lloris and it's
:10:17. > :10:20.gone in. It's 2-0.
:10:20. > :10:24.More than a slice of luck about the way it ended up in the back of the
:10:24. > :10:29.net, definitely. Vaz Te gets a lucky rebound off
:10:29. > :10:36.Lloris. Who's conceded in the last seven
:10:36. > :10:44.minutes as many goals as he conceded all season.
:10:44. > :10:49.2-0 to West Ham United. Vertonghen for Tottenham dinked up
:10:49. > :10:57.towards Salled doe. Lovely turn by Diame. Morrison.
:10:57. > :11:02.Downing. Great pace away from Vertonghen. Brilliant stuff.
:11:02. > :11:08.Morrison. Is that heading in? It's. It's three. A superb goal by
:11:08. > :11:12.Morrison. Tottenham 0, West Ham United 3.
:11:12. > :11:17.And Tottenham, who for most of this Tottenham 0, West Ham United 3.
:11:17. > :11:20.season have been defensively inhave you rabble over the last ten minutes
:11:20. > :11:26.have been defensively invisible. Brilliant goal by Morrison.
:11:26. > :11:31.Fantastic pace. Vertonghen couldn't stick with him. Stepped round
:11:31. > :11:34.Dawson, lifted it over Lloris and followed it to make sure it was over
:11:34. > :11:41.the line before the Tottenham defender caught it. This is a superb
:11:42. > :11:51.goal. Great finish.
:11:51. > :11:54.Touch of a young Michael Owen about this.
:11:54. > :12:00.Having conceded two goals in 11 games in season, who'd have thought
:12:00. > :12:05.Tottenham would concede three in 13 minutes? Even the most avid
:12:05. > :12:12.supporter wouldn't have expected 3-0 I don't think.
:12:12. > :12:15.That is an outstanding win for West Ham United.
:12:15. > :12:20.A rare away day success at Tottenham. It's been a long, long
:12:20. > :12:29.time since West Ham won here. It is one of the shock results of the
:12:29. > :12:33.season so far. Fantastic when a plan comes together
:12:33. > :12:38.and you ask your players to take up a different role in the team in a
:12:38. > :12:43.different system and I think that because we showed the lads just how
:12:43. > :12:48.Tottenham are as a team and how they're set up, we felt it was the
:12:48. > :12:54.right thing to do. They scored in a moment when we were very, very
:12:54. > :12:59.strong through the set piece, in an area of the game where they are very
:12:59. > :13:03.strong. They got the ball in. That is something that can happen in
:13:03. > :13:09.games like this. You don't score and end up
:13:09. > :13:13.suffering. The third goal is the one that is going to be picked out. I
:13:13. > :13:19.couldn't help but think about Michael Owen when he was about 17,
:13:19. > :13:24.what do you think? Yes, he's got that. We had a lot of problems with
:13:24. > :13:27.him, his lifestyle offthe pitch, but obviously we are going to be excited
:13:27. > :13:31.by his talent because it's frightening. If you ask anyone at
:13:31. > :13:36.Manchester United, they'll tell you the same. Sir Alex told me, if you
:13:36. > :13:40.can sort him out, you'll have a class player on your hands. I'm not
:13:40. > :13:48.sure we have sorted him out, I think he's sorted himself out. If some say
:13:48. > :13:54.Sam Allardyce is not a tactical player? I would say I've got a
:13:54. > :13:55.northern act accident and I'm English.
:13:55. > :14:05.Big Sam, thanks. In general, Alan, they fully
:14:05. > :14:08.deserved the three points this afternoon. Absolutely, and I think
:14:08. > :14:13.this is the beauty of the Premier League where you have Tottenham, the
:14:13. > :14:17.home side, flying high. People are even tipping them to win the Premier
:14:17. > :14:20.League. Defensively solid and resolute and taking the plaudits and
:14:20. > :14:24.accolades and rightly so, against resolute and taking the plaudits and
:14:24. > :14:27.West Ham, the away team were struggling, struggling for
:14:27. > :14:32.confidence, for points, can't buy a goal, and they win 3-0. But to be
:14:32. > :14:37.fair to Sammy he had a great game plan, defended deep, but they broke
:14:37. > :14:42.and broke with purpose, conviction and goals. Take us through his game
:14:42. > :14:46.plan, then. I thought Sam Allardyce got his tactics spot on today. He
:14:46. > :14:51.tried something totally different. They packed the midfield. They got
:14:51. > :14:54.bodies back in numbers, and I just felt they really, really defended.
:14:54. > :15:02.The back four was magnificent. We can stop it here. There's nine West
:15:02. > :15:05.Ham players behind the ball and they vus stifled Spurs all afternoon and
:15:05. > :15:09.what they did well was when they won it, they broke very, very quickly,
:15:09. > :15:15.and then they got bodies forward in support. We watch it here - we
:15:15. > :15:19.circle Tompkins - he gets on his back side. Again, here, he positions
:15:19. > :15:23.himself really, really well in the middle of the six yard box. Tompkins
:15:23. > :15:27.again with a big header. It's Reid this time that wins it and again
:15:27. > :15:29.Tompkins guesses right there, and again, you see it - they break and
:15:29. > :15:34.Tompkins guesses right there, and break with pace. They get numbers
:15:34. > :15:38.behind it. This time it's Sigurdsson that - and it's Reid that breaks
:15:38. > :15:44.that. Look at the athleticism and power. Reid wants to go forward but
:15:44. > :15:51.one of his team-mates is saying stay back. Dembele wins it off Noble
:15:51. > :15:57.here. And look at his strength there - magnificent. He wins a foul for
:15:58. > :16:02.his team. He's in a bit of trouble against Paulinho. He doesn't just
:16:02. > :16:09.poot it out to play. He plays it down the line. He plays a one-two
:16:09. > :16:12.and Dearmi is away. In the first half they defended superb.
:16:12. > :16:17.Tactically, they were brilliant. Has word got out maybe Spurs go down the
:16:17. > :16:21.middle more often than not and that Townsend at this stage, whilst
:16:21. > :16:25.Lamela is still on the bench is, the only player who gets around the
:16:25. > :16:28.back? In fairness he was a live wire for Tottenham today. He was the only
:16:28. > :16:32.one trying to go around the full-back and get crosses in. His
:16:32. > :16:36.delivery let him down once or twice, but Spurs have the platers to do
:16:36. > :16:42.that. They have Spurs to go down the middle. Look at er-Eriksen,
:16:43. > :16:47.Sigurdsson, middle of the park players. When you have people like
:16:47. > :16:53.Soldano up there, they try these threaded balls through. I agree,
:16:53. > :16:57.they should go wide more. A huge pre-match debate about whether it
:16:57. > :17:01.should be Defoe or Soldano that started? Defoe got a rare chance to
:17:01. > :17:05.start, and he has been on fire, obviously, in the Cups, and he has a
:17:05. > :17:07.great chance. This is very, very early in the second half. It's
:17:07. > :17:11.Paulinho who actually puts him through. He times his run
:17:11. > :17:14.brilliantly, Defoe, and he should really score there. I think a player
:17:14. > :17:24.of - look at this one. Look at the timing of that and OK, this is the
:17:24. > :17:27.goal. Watch the goal. Reid - Vertonghen for me, I was a big fan
:17:27. > :17:33.of his before today Burke he had a really poor game today. It's Reid
:17:33. > :17:37.who outmuscles him, jumps higher. It comes off Nolan, but I think it was
:17:37. > :17:41.going in the goals anyway. He's first to react there and a really
:17:41. > :17:48.good header which puts Spurs on their way. It's Morrison who gets
:17:48. > :17:52.him, into Noble, all pressing, a impressive ball for Vaz Te. One
:17:52. > :17:58.thing in his mind. Vaz Te hits the target. Lloris is a bit unlucky, but
:17:58. > :18:01.you need a bit of luck when you go to White Hart Lane, haven't won here
:18:01. > :18:08.for years. He gets luck with the rebound. That's Tottenham.
:18:08. > :18:09.Sam Allardyce's point about changing it tactically, going with what you
:18:09. > :18:13.Sam Allardyce's point about changing would call a false number nine like
:18:13. > :18:18.Barcelona have done in the past or Spain, it confused Spurs? I think to
:18:18. > :18:22.a certain extent it did because what happens is you're used to having
:18:22. > :18:26.one-up top or two up top with defenders. That's who you know, your
:18:26. > :18:32.mark? You're comfortable because you know exactly who to mark. When
:18:32. > :18:36.you're having to go a way to the mark, you tend to think, who am I
:18:36. > :18:40.going to pick up? When they start running, you get maybe - I wouldn't
:18:40. > :18:44.say so much confused, but you get out of position. That's where the
:18:44. > :18:47.space is, and obviously, West Ham did exceptionally well to capitalise
:18:47. > :18:50.on that space. It was the running of the two centre-halves that created
:18:50. > :18:55.the third goal. It was. It's Vertonghen again on the ball. He
:18:55. > :18:59.tries a nothing ball, if you like. I don't know what he's trying to do
:18:59. > :19:04.there. Reid initially plays it out. Plays it into Dearmi. Look at that
:19:04. > :19:09.touch. Morrison picks it up there. Look at the amount - look at the
:19:09. > :19:13.pace he's running the defenders with, not great defending, but you
:19:13. > :19:17.want to give Ravel Morrison credit for that I have heard a lot about
:19:17. > :19:21.this lad, what he gets up to, mainly off the pitch, but today's
:19:21. > :19:26.performance was magnificent. If he keeps going, he has a magnificent
:19:26. > :19:29.future. He's in good hands with Sam Allardyce. Sam is not taking the
:19:29. > :19:34.credit. It's the lad that has to turn it around and do it. You're
:19:35. > :19:40.talking about the defending? Not at all. It was a fantastic goal. Like
:19:40. > :19:45.he says, he's a talent. Great goal. At the start of the afternoon, eelt
:19:45. > :19:50.other North London sides could have gone top of the Premier League.
:19:50. > :19:56.Arsenal was at West Bromwich Albion. This was watched by Sam Brotherton.
:19:56. > :20:00.It doesn't get any easier today with Arsenal in town, unbeaten since the
:20:00. > :20:06.first week of the season and on a run of eight straight away wins in
:20:06. > :20:10.the League. Albion forward cider Berahino makes his first Premier
:20:10. > :20:14.League start after his match-winning performance against United last
:20:14. > :20:19.weekend, and Nicolas Anelka returns from a foot injure. Scott Sinclair
:20:19. > :20:38.and Victor Anecci are unavailable. Arsenal returning to the Hawthorns
:20:38. > :20:44.for the second time in less than a fortnight, having won 4-3 on
:20:44. > :20:50.penalties after a 1-1 draw here in the Capital One Cup.
:20:50. > :20:54.West Brom feeling much better about themselves going into this game than
:20:54. > :21:03.they might have done a couple of weeks ago, having won their last two
:21:03. > :21:07.matches. Shot comes in, good save by Szczesny. It was Berahino making his
:21:07. > :21:13.first Premier League start who caused the problem there. The ball
:21:13. > :21:21.flicking to the centre, and Berahino - shot wildly deflected there off
:21:21. > :21:24.Mathieu Flamini. Very quick reactions from Arsenal's goalkeeper,
:21:24. > :21:30.who was initially wrong footed but able to recover and spring to his
:21:30. > :21:31.right. Four clean sheets in ten matches so far this season going
:21:31. > :21:56.into this one. Jenkinson. Myhill, what a pass!
:21:56. > :22:02.Gibbs! What a superb pass there, then blasted over the top. . Arsenal
:22:02. > :22:04.have won each of their last five Premier League matches. It's a run
:22:04. > :22:12.have won each of their last five that they didn't manage at any point
:22:12. > :22:20.during last season. Wilshere, Giroud, Wilshere with a shot. Had
:22:20. > :22:29.Myhill at full stretch, but always going wide. West Brom proving hard
:22:29. > :22:39.to break down here. Koscielny, Gibbs, - up against Jones, flick
:22:39. > :22:51.from Wilshere, Gibbs with the cross, corner. Jenkinson is the only one
:22:51. > :22:53.staying back. Gibbs is also coming back now. Koscielny down in the
:22:53. > :23:00.penalty area - good save! Rifled in back now. Koscielny down in the
:23:00. > :23:06.by Aaron Ramsey. Arsenal starting to threaten here.
:23:06. > :23:13.West Brom nodding off in midfield just for a moment. Arteta almost
:23:13. > :23:17.able to reclaim position, but now it's with Amalfitano - that's
:23:17. > :23:23.Wilshere diving in. Still with Amalfitano. Well struck, blocked by
:23:23. > :23:29.Mertesacker, sliced away by Jenkinson, and then hacked clear by
:23:29. > :23:34.Gibbs. West Brom were banging on the door
:23:34. > :23:45.here with this one. Arsenal rocking a bit now. And they've got another
:23:45. > :23:52.corner kick. Boisterous atmosphere inside The Hawthorns as halftime
:23:52. > :23:59.approaches. A comfortable header away for
:23:59. > :24:10.Jenkinson. More pressure. Amalfitano! Oh, and West Brom have
:24:10. > :24:15.got the lead! Claudio Yacob! The header away only found its way to a
:24:15. > :24:20.West Bromwich Albion player. Amalfitano with a second chance to
:24:20. > :24:31.put in the delivery, and Yacob was there to head home inside the near
:24:31. > :24:35.post. And Arsenal are behind. And West Bromwich Albion, who upset the
:24:35. > :24:38.odds at Old Trafford only a week ago, have the lead here against
:24:38. > :24:50.Arsenal. Ramsey, Arsenal's best ever in the
:24:50. > :24:56.-- effort in the first half came from the Welshman, saved by Myhill.
:24:56. > :25:01.Berahino - oh, he's away from Mertesacker. He has Anelka with him
:25:01. > :25:05.- in towards Anelka - what a chance that was. It just caught the back
:25:05. > :25:10.half of his boot rather than the front, a blistering pace here by
:25:10. > :25:14.Berahino. Arsenal were looking for an offside. It was a close call and
:25:14. > :25:19.it looked to the world there as if Anelka was going to get on the other
:25:19. > :25:24.end of that. Arsenal responding straight away. Olivier Giroud in
:25:24. > :25:30.towards Jack Wilshere, a chance for the shot. Tackled by Billy Jones,
:25:30. > :25:34.leaves the Arsenal man clinging on to his left ankle. The shot was
:25:35. > :25:42.always going wide. For the first time in a little while not going
:25:42. > :25:50.according to plan for Arsene Wenger so far. Ridgewell. Here comes Anelka
:25:50. > :25:55.now. Szczesny was off his line, thought better of it, went back in,
:25:55. > :26:01.and it's wide! A great chance for 2-0. And don't they know it in the
:26:01. > :26:05.Birmingham Road end. Twice West Brom have nearly doubled their lead in
:26:05. > :26:17.the early stages of this second half. It stays at 1-0. West Brom's
:26:17. > :26:25.play full of confidence. Really taking it to Arsenal here. Anelka -
:26:25. > :26:34.turning away from Koscielny, the header away by Mertesacker. Slipped
:26:34. > :26:41.by Mulumbu. Here he is now. Arsenal win the dual this time.
:26:41. > :26:50.He takes out Giroud. Rosicky in the centre, Wilshere going forward as
:26:50. > :26:57.well. Into Jack Wilshere - what a tremendous goal! A cracking strike
:26:57. > :27:01.from Jack Wilshere. West Brom had really been taking the game to
:27:01. > :27:13.Arsenal, but Wilshere fires home the response. And it's 1-1 here. Just
:27:13. > :27:19.under half an hour to go. And it's - the shot whistled in, it takes a
:27:19. > :27:27.deflection off his shin, but Myhill had no real chance of getting to it.
:27:27. > :27:31.Yacob in towards Mulumbu, gets the better of Rosicky, doesn't have an
:27:31. > :27:36.awful lot of room to manoeuvre. Now it's Billy Jones. Will he let fly?
:27:36. > :27:42.He certainly will, saved by Szczesny. Just because Jack Wilshere
:27:42. > :27:45.scored that equalising goal, the balance of the play suggests it
:27:46. > :27:57.doesn't necessarily mean the pendulum is swinging their way.
:27:57. > :28:07.Flamini. Wilshere. Giroud makes the run. The pass is fantastic, Giroud
:28:07. > :28:14.now for Arsenal - good save. On side as the ball is played through to
:28:15. > :28:23.Giroud, gets around the goalkeeper, but he claws it away. This team have
:28:23. > :28:24.acquitted themselves really well. Mertesacker, closed down by
:28:25. > :28:26.acquitted themselves really well. Morrison, fouled as well. It's going
:28:26. > :28:39.to be a West Brom free kick. Myhill aims for the head of Shane
:28:39. > :28:50.Long. Was he knocked over in the penalty area there by Koscielny?
:28:50. > :28:54.Here it is again. Lee Mason's not having any of it. West Bromwich
:28:55. > :29:02.Albion looking in vain. Last chance now, surely. If Arsenal are going to
:29:02. > :29:05.win the game, it needs to be now, but West Bromwich Albion stay
:29:05. > :29:10.strong. And there goes the final whistle, and West Bromwich Albion
:29:11. > :29:13.back up their memorable victory at Old Trafford with another excellent
:29:13. > :29:17.showing against one of the topsides here, but Arsenal drop points for
:29:17. > :29:21.the first time since the opening weekend. Season. The final score at
:29:21. > :29:26.the first time since the opening the Hawthorns, West Bromwich
:29:26. > :29:33.Albion-1, Arsenal-1. We have a resilient tea We had a
:29:33. > :29:37.similar situation last week at Old Trafford but we didn't sit back.
:29:37. > :29:42.Ourselves and Arsenal tried to win the game which was probably good to
:29:42. > :29:46.watch, nerve-racking on the bench. We trust ourselves in these games
:29:46. > :29:51.now and trust ourselves to play to a good level. I think today was a good
:29:51. > :29:58.game between two good teams. In the first half, we had promise to find
:29:58. > :30:06.the second gear. West Brom confirmed today the great performance. 1-0
:30:06. > :30:10.down was a task for us to come back to. We had good control of the game
:30:10. > :30:15.going in front. We missed a couple of good chances at the start of the
:30:15. > :30:22.second half. Maybe if we got to 2-0 we might have gotten all three
:30:22. > :30:29.points. Better headlines for Jack Wilshere afte the week he's had?
:30:29. > :30:34.Yes. It's come at a nice time to score. We thought we could win, had
:30:34. > :30:39.a few chances, but at the end of the day, I think a point's fair: .
:30:39. > :30:42.Similar to last week really. If you sit back and let teams like that
:30:42. > :30:49.walk all over you, that's what they'll do and it's evident tab that
:30:49. > :30:53.-- inevitable that you will let yourself down. We took the stance
:30:53. > :31:04.this week that we'd try and cause them problems and same last week and
:31:05. > :31:09.we did that again this week. FORCEDWHITE
:31:09. > :31:13.A good game of football? It was. Arsenal under Wenger after the
:31:13. > :31:17.debacle of the first game of the season against Villa, they didn't
:31:17. > :31:24.panic, assured the fans they'd come good and they have, they have had a
:31:24. > :31:28.great run. West Brom as well, Sunderland away, Man United away,
:31:28. > :31:31.Arsenal at home. They have taken the points, they look a different side
:31:31. > :31:35.now. No confidence early in the season, today they were a force and
:31:35. > :31:39.I thought they should have won the game. We'll look at some of their
:31:39. > :31:42.chances in a moment. When Jack Wilshere did the post-match
:31:42. > :31:46.interview, I thought, fair play after the attention you have had, I
:31:46. > :31:52.wouldn't expect him to face the media, but for him, he has another
:31:52. > :31:55.problem, the abundance of riches that Wenger has in his area of the
:31:56. > :32:03.field? If you look at the players that can play in the middle, you
:32:03. > :32:07.have Ramsey, Ozil was magnificent, Arteta and Wilshere himself, you
:32:07. > :32:13.can't play them all. So Jack's playing wide on the left. They used
:32:13. > :32:23.to call it the graveyard position. Here is a graphic of how many times
:32:23. > :32:28.he touched it and it's always on the left.
:32:28. > :32:33.The problem with Jack is that he has a brilliant left foot and he wants
:32:33. > :32:36.to be on that foot all the time. In that position, he'll not go down the
:32:36. > :32:40.line and cross it, he wants to cut inside. You cut inside from the left
:32:40. > :32:47.on your left all the time, you have a problem. If he takes one step and
:32:47. > :32:51.whips it in, it's good, but this is not the Jack Wilshere we know and
:32:51. > :32:56.love. Same again. Doesn't want to go
:32:56. > :33:01.there, comes back inside. Again, the ball retention really
:33:01. > :33:05.good but going nowhere. The number of times he gets caught here, he's
:33:05. > :33:09.hustled, always wanting to go on his left, trying something different
:33:09. > :33:13.here, gets caught and West Brom back on the attack. This is the one that
:33:13. > :33:20.shows you, you know, the angle of that ball, there's no way that he
:33:20. > :33:27.can play it forward. He needs his right foot. The other side, the
:33:27. > :33:31.angle shows you that he can play it anywhere he wants.
:33:31. > :33:35.This is it, one, two, bang. That is fantastic.
:33:35. > :33:40.Didn't have a bad game or a great game. We want to see middle of the
:33:40. > :33:43.park, get in the centre circle, drive forward, slide the ball
:33:43. > :33:48.through. He has heck of a competition to do
:33:48. > :33:55.that? I think as well, the form of Ramsey, he's become a must now in
:33:55. > :34:00.the middle of the park. When Ramsey gets off this hot streak a he's on,
:34:00. > :34:04.Wenger may well bring Wilshere back into the middle. That is his best
:34:04. > :34:08.position. You want the best players in their best positions so you may
:34:08. > :34:14.see Wilshere move back into the middle. It's a nice problem to have.
:34:14. > :34:18.Not if you are an Arsenal player. You said you thought West Brom
:34:18. > :34:22.should win and they had several opportunities? Anelka two
:34:22. > :34:27.unbelievable chances at 1-0 up. The first one, I think he disreally
:34:27. > :34:35.well. He easy movement is good, as you would expect.
:34:35. > :34:44.Great ball across the box. The second one, this is bad defending.
:34:44. > :34:51.Met sacker and Koscielny. Koscielny's got to come across. He
:34:51. > :34:58.comes and mops up. Great movement from Anelka again.
:34:58. > :35:05.He's in on goal and if he scores here, which he should do, it's all
:35:05. > :35:10.over. In the last kick of the ball, Koscielny who's had a couple of
:35:10. > :35:14.penalties, rash challenges, one against ago Bonn Lahore first game
:35:15. > :35:22.of the season, next one against Sunderland, and then the last
:35:22. > :35:29.kick... Penalty is it? The ball's not there. -- Agbonlahor.
:35:29. > :35:35.He almost knocked Long off his feet there. Penalty. Very lucky there. Do
:35:35. > :35:40.you not agree with that? It's not for me to ask. Just the way you are
:35:40. > :35:45.looking at me, I can hear you thinking it's not a penalty kick. I
:35:45. > :35:48.can hear them upstairs. Ignore them upstairs, they are saying move on.
:35:48. > :35:56.Did you think it was a penalty kick? We have to move on. Moving on. Last
:35:56. > :36:00.weekend, we saw Norwich getting a value yuebl win at Stoke. They had
:36:00. > :36:07.another Sunday assignment this weekend with Chelsea their visitors.
:36:07. > :36:12.Alastair Mann is the commentator -- valuable.
:36:12. > :36:24.The Canaries haven't beaten Chelsea here since 1994. To do so, they'll
:36:24. > :36:52.have to improve on their recent record.
:36:52. > :37:07.A delightful Juan Mata goal is sufficient for settling thisture
:37:07. > :37:18.last season. -- this fixture. Demba Ba muscles in
:37:18. > :37:31.and almost claims a penalty. No signal from the assistant.
:37:31. > :37:39.Demba Ba again. He's brought the ball down well and the ball is in
:37:40. > :37:42.the corner of the net and Oscar puts Chelsea in front.
:37:42. > :37:52.Flag stayed Demba Ba took it down well, laid it
:37:52. > :37:57.off sensibly and Oscar into the corner beyond Ruddy.
:37:58. > :38:01.Already Chelsea continuing where they left off from their UEFA
:38:01. > :38:12.Champions League game. 1-0 the visitors.
:38:12. > :38:17.Just before Chelsea took the lead, Demba Ba felt he ought to have had a
:38:17. > :38:25.penalty after his tussle with Bassong.
:38:25. > :38:31.He had the choice, Eto'o or Ba. Ba already impacted the game.
:38:31. > :38:37.Ramirez. Mata might think about hitting this. Goes in search of
:38:37. > :38:38.Demba Ba. He's on side. And just about clawed beyond the post.
:38:38. > :38:42.Chelsea are finding Norwich very about clawed beyond the post.
:38:42. > :38:51.much to their liking here. Excellent save by Ruddy to prevent Chelsea
:38:51. > :38:59.from being in the position from which they want to win the match.
:38:59. > :39:04.Demba Ba. Gets there and gets the shot on target.
:39:04. > :39:16.Ba made a nuisance of himself. Enough to force Ruddy into an error.
:39:16. > :39:21.So far so very good for Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, as he looks for his
:39:21. > :39:26.So far so very good for Chelsea and first away win of the Premier League
:39:26. > :39:33.season. Dangerous ball towards the near
:39:33. > :39:37.post. Howson had just snuck in. At last, nor up have examined Chelsea
:39:37. > :39:40.at the back and Cech was equal to the challenge.
:39:40. > :39:48.Howson found his way through. It was a good block by Cech.
:39:48. > :39:56.Ramirez. Towards Ramirez. Ba. Should have
:39:56. > :40:01.scored. It was inventive anyway on that near
:40:01. > :40:05.post. I think having reached that position as unchallenged as he was,
:40:05. > :40:14.he maybe ought to have put Chelsea into a very commanding position.
:40:14. > :40:16.Terrific first time hit from Snodgrass.
:40:16. > :40:23.Has to poke it through for Pilkington. Takes a tumble. No, says
:40:23. > :40:26.the referee. Had a good view. Ramirez' challenge.
:40:26. > :40:31.Doesn't really get the ball. This is the ref's view of it. He doesn't get
:40:31. > :40:37.the ball. You are just getting the sense of
:40:37. > :40:41.the momentum that it's shifting from the visitors who've had large
:40:41. > :40:48.control of this game back to the hosts.
:40:48. > :40:52.Nod grass. hosts.
:40:52. > :40:58.Van Wolfswinkel on the far side. Pilkington helps it over the lain.
:40:58. > :41:02.They've merited that, Norwich. They've cracked back into this game
:41:02. > :41:09.slowly but surely. Started to ask a few more questions. But the delivery
:41:09. > :41:15.towards van Wolfswinkel. The first time he's had an attack.
:41:15. > :41:21.Off the chest of Pilkington. It is 1-1 at Carrow Road.
:41:21. > :41:28.Pilkington with the equaliser. Just beyond the mid point of the second
:41:28. > :41:32.half. Ashley Cole has been just feeling
:41:32. > :41:36.his side for a few minutes now and indeed it's his number that is
:41:36. > :41:40.raised. And Cole makes way for an injury
:41:40. > :41:57.ahead of England's two important World Cup qualifiers.
:41:58. > :42:04.Schurrle. Ivanovic.
:42:04. > :42:06.On target. Good stop.
:42:06. > :42:14.Ivanovic drove it towards the near post area. Good stop by Ruddy.
:42:15. > :42:21.Fer. Anticipation with the first touch of
:42:21. > :42:25.the ball and straight on target. Cech booted it away. No wonder there
:42:25. > :42:31.was a buzz of anticipation when he got his first touch of the ball.
:42:31. > :42:39.He's been exciting since his arrival at Carrow Road.
:42:39. > :42:45.Olsson. Will Pilkington.
:42:45. > :42:48.No off side. He doesn't lack confidence this
:42:48. > :42:51.young fella. Involved straightaway He doesn't lack confidence this
:42:51. > :43:00.in the action and his shot beaten away by Cech.
:43:00. > :43:19.Both sides believe they can gather all three points. Lampard. Turner.
:43:19. > :43:27.Olsson got in the way. Pilkington.
:43:27. > :43:39.Ramirez. Redmond. Corner.
:43:39. > :43:44.No-one's been able to take this corner. Pilkington has now --
:43:44. > :43:46.no-one's gone over to take this corner.
:43:46. > :43:54.Home supporters sensing a winning goal for their side.
:43:54. > :43:59.Not on this occasion. Hazard. William. Oscar. Hazard's
:43:59. > :44:05.made a fabulous run forward. Oscar trying to pick him out. Tettey.
:44:05. > :44:10.Hazard will score. Yes, it sneaks over the line and Ruddy can't keep
:44:10. > :44:19.it out. Chelsea lead. It all came from a Norwich corner.
:44:19. > :44:22.Oscar and Hazard between the two of them.
:44:22. > :44:25.Hazard made the run forward. You sensed Hazard would score once
:44:25. > :44:30.Tettey hadn't covered him. Huddy will probably feel he ought to have
:44:30. > :44:31.done more to have prevented that. A delayed reaction from the Chelsea
:44:31. > :44:33.done more to have prevented that. A fan who is didn't know it crept over
:44:33. > :44:55.the line. Norwich City were going for a
:44:55. > :44:58.winning goal themselves, and they got caught. Are they going to get
:44:58. > :45:09.caught with another counterattack here? Here's Wilian, now Eto'o. Run
:45:09. > :45:20.into a bit of a wall - then Wilian - oh, that is absolutely magnificent!
:45:20. > :45:27.A moment just to sit back and enjoy. Well, that is unstoppable. What a
:45:27. > :45:32.strike. Only on the field a few minutes, Wilian. He's barely had a
:45:32. > :45:40.touch of Premier League football, but on one of his firsts, he
:45:40. > :45:46.produces an absolute stunner, and even Jose Mourinho is off his chair
:45:46. > :45:51.to that one, and the points are Chelsea's.
:45:52. > :45:57.It's important and deserved and difficult, so when is at the same
:45:57. > :46:03.time important, difficult and deserved, we have one of the reasons
:46:03. > :46:08.to be very pleased with that. It's always important to be ready when
:46:08. > :46:12.the team needs me, and that's why we are here for, especially the
:46:12. > :46:21.offensive player, to make the difference, and I'm happy I helped
:46:21. > :46:24.Oscar today and happy with the win. Pilkington definitely puts the first
:46:24. > :46:28.touch on the ball. Ramirez goes over - that being a case, of course it
:46:28. > :46:31.should be a penalty, lots of positives in the game, but at this
:46:31. > :46:33.moment, it's obviously very difficult to take because I think
:46:34. > :46:38.generally over the period of the game, we'd worked ourselves back
:46:39. > :46:44.after a difficult start against a quality that they've got on the
:46:45. > :46:46.changes that they can make to - to put us in a position where at that
:46:46. > :46:49.stage I didn't think we were going put us in a position where at that
:46:49. > :46:56.to lose. When a manager brings on two players who score, does he take
:46:56. > :47:00.extra satisfaction in that? It's up to him. When I make a change, the
:47:00. > :47:05.change is always fantastic. They make it fantastic or they make it
:47:05. > :47:09.rubbish, but when I make the changes, it's fantastic clee. Also
:47:09. > :47:12.said that he went for a scan on the injury after the game, but
:47:12. > :47:16.hopefully, he'll be fine, so Jose Mourinho for England's World Cup
:47:16. > :47:20.qualifiers. When we spoke about West Ham, we spoke about false number
:47:20. > :47:22.nines. Do you want to talk about actual number nines as far as
:47:22. > :47:26.Chelsea are concerned? We have said in this programme many times that
:47:26. > :47:30.the best striker Chelsea have got is the one that's on loan. It's no
:47:30. > :47:37.difference. I think if you look at the three strikers - the first one,
:47:37. > :47:42.Toronto Police has struggled. Eto'o struggled for me. Demba Ba played
:47:43. > :47:47.today. I think he has been the best of the three. I think his presence -
:47:47. > :47:53.Lampard plays the ball great. A great first touch here and a great
:47:53. > :47:59.pass into Oscar. And he was really, really good. This was Mata. I think
:47:59. > :48:04.he could maybe hit this a bit harder, but it was a good save. The
:48:04. > :48:08.best of the four was the guy on loan at Everton, who has been sensational
:48:08. > :48:13.last year for West Brom and he's big, strong, quick and can play and
:48:13. > :48:17.is such a potent combination. Is presence the key for a Chelsea
:48:17. > :48:22.number nine, the way they play? Absolutely. I think that, you know,
:48:22. > :48:25.Mourinho says it's different playing for Chelsea. I think it's easier
:48:25. > :48:33.playing for chelicism I think you score more goals. Great movement
:48:33. > :48:40.here - the offside trap, poor defending, and I think he's missed a
:48:40. > :48:46.trick there. As he goes, as he said in the Telegraph yesterday, Lukaku,
:48:46. > :48:50.he said it was me who wanted to go. If he wants to go, if Jose Mourinho
:48:50. > :48:54.wants the player, it doesn't matter what Lukaku says, if he goes to his
:48:54. > :48:57.manager, I want to go, say no. Jose Mourinho has the final decision.
:48:57. > :49:02.Saying that he asked to go is, for me, just say no. It's simple, isn't
:49:03. > :49:06.it? If you want the player to stay, I can't understand why it beggars
:49:06. > :49:10.belief you have this player scoring goals for Everton and your own
:49:10. > :49:13.strikers are struggling to score. It's a strange decision that might
:49:13. > :49:20.come back to haunt him. Just say no. No. No! Final! You're on penalty
:49:20. > :49:23.watch this evening. Well, I tell you what, I thought Norwich were unlucky
:49:23. > :49:30.in this game and they played so much better than the last home game. This
:49:30. > :49:34.was at 1-0. Pilkington - Chris, the nor itch manager said it was a
:49:34. > :49:38.penalty kick. The number of times I watched this, I think Ramirez
:49:38. > :49:42.doesn't get anywhere near the ball, catches Pilkington, then even at
:49:42. > :49:45.1-1, they have equalised it - a lot of the game, they didn't have a lot

:49:50. > :49:56.pressure. This was Redmond coming on the right-hand side. He doesn't go
:49:56. > :49:58.all the way and a great save by Cech. A corner kick - you lose a
:49:58. > :50:02.goal from the corner kick - I mean Cech. A corner kick - you lose a
:50:02. > :50:08.absolutely crazy, and what happens is you have Olsson here at the back
:50:08. > :50:12.and you have Tettey there. The danger is Hazard - they get mixed
:50:12. > :50:14.up. Tettey should go straight to the ball. Olsson should go back in a
:50:14. > :50:19.straight line, and they wouldn't have a problem, but Olsson goes to
:50:19. > :50:26.the ball. Tettey goes back. Hazard comes in, and that's the position
:50:26. > :50:29.Olsson should be in, and then Tettey stretches -- is stretched and he
:50:29. > :50:33.makes a mistake, compounded by another by the goalkeeper. It's in
:50:33. > :50:39.the back of the net. It's a great run by Hazard. He should have saved
:50:39. > :50:42.it, and Norwich City should have had a point. What did you say when we
:50:42. > :50:46.were in the office? That's the worst thing you could do... The first
:50:47. > :50:52.bench - in Liverpool, in Scandinavia, a corner kick, it
:50:52. > :50:55.cleared and they hit the bar. It was like - resulted - I am not kidding.
:50:55. > :50:58.cleared and they hit the bar. It was 20 years later they were still
:50:59. > :51:07.talking about it. How did it happen? They don't talk about League titles.
:51:07. > :51:11.It was this. How did it happen? That is bad. It really is. All the goals
:51:11. > :51:19.from yesterday still to come, but the final match of today comes from
:51:19. > :51:22.St Mary's. Southampton have made a stunning start to that difficult
:51:22. > :51:27.second season and are after a third straight win today. Success is being
:51:27. > :51:33.built upon a rock-solid dense and set plays, enough to see off West
:51:33. > :51:37.Brom, Liverpool and Palace so far. -- defence. Swansea have been at
:51:37. > :51:41.their best outside of South Wales, having conceded just once on the
:51:41. > :51:46.road, compared to eight times at the Liberty, and victory today would
:51:47. > :51:51.mean three successive away wins for Michael Laudrup's team. At St Mary's
:51:51. > :51:57.for Match of the Day 2, John Roda. This is Swansea's seventh match in
:51:57. > :52:00.just 20 days because of their Europa League commitments, a competition
:52:00. > :52:06.the Southampton boss isn't interested in. He says he's aiming
:52:06. > :52:37.for Champions League football in the long term here.
:52:37. > :52:51.Lamb er shell Jonjo Shelvey, and Southampton win it back, Lamela
:52:51. > :52:57.through to Osvaldo. Can he get a shot away? Swansea claiming here
:52:57. > :53:01.that he was offside. The flag stayed down. In the end, Osvaldo can't get
:53:01. > :53:28.the shot away on targeting. Find a way past Davies. He's done so
:53:28. > :53:35.as well, Chico. Here's Lallana for Southampton, who opens the scoring.
:53:35. > :53:42.Adam Lallana got three goals last season, but it's been 12 matches
:53:42. > :53:47.since he's found the net for the Saints. A lovely little ball through
:53:47. > :53:51.here to find Lallana. The angle, tight, but the finish was exemplary.
:53:51. > :54:16.Southampton-1, Swansea-0. Canas. Picked up by Shelvey. Dyer,
:54:16. > :54:26.Rangel making the run. Rangel to drive it across. It's towards Michu,
:54:26. > :54:33.excellent save. A terrific stop here. Michu anticipating the cross.
:54:33. > :54:37.Boric anticipating the header towards goal. Canas. Rangel. Here's
:54:37. > :54:52.Dyer. Dyer finds Shelvey - Boric with the
:54:52. > :55:00.stop, unable to push it away from goal. The goalkeeper has conceded
:55:00. > :55:10.just two goals this season. Foul here by Canas on Lallana. Certainly
:55:10. > :55:16.looks as though Lampard is setting up an effort on goal despite the
:55:16. > :55:25.distance he is from the Swansea goal. It is Lamela and Vaughan is
:55:25. > :55:35.able to push it away. -- Lambert. Look at the curl on this as it comes
:55:35. > :55:39.in towards the goal. Rangel. A terrific little back heel. It's Dyer
:55:39. > :55:46.trying to go all the way here. It's Dyer off post. And somehow, it
:55:46. > :55:54.stayed out. On most other occasions, I'm sure this would have gone in,
:55:54. > :55:57.but it spun away. And bounced clear. Nathan Dyer so close to making it
:55:57. > :56:04.1-1. He feels it's little unfair on his
:56:04. > :56:14.side they're still trailing by a goal to nil. Here's Michu. Routledge
:56:14. > :56:32.finds Shelvey. Lots of room here for Nathan Dyer and Rangel in the
:56:32. > :56:48.overlap, brilliant save again! Header and Boruc pushes it wide.
:56:48. > :56:54.Dyer. Michu. Rangel, Routledge. Here's Nathan Dyer! A nice intricate
:56:54. > :57:06.build-up here from Swansea, Dyer with the shot this time, but it's
:57:06. > :57:16.off target. Dyer, Michu, Dyer. Michu gets there first, finds Rangel.
:57:16. > :57:21.Wilfred Bonni! Really good spell of football from Swansea, Michu setting
:57:21. > :57:24.up Rangel from the cross. Bonni was the only option, though, in the
:57:24. > :57:37.middle. Picked up by Bonni. That's a
:57:37. > :57:44.challenge. It's just outside the penalty area - the ball didn't have
:57:44. > :57:47.enough pace on it, and he was caught rather in a Southampton sandwich.
:57:48. > :57:55.Jonjo Shelvey's set-piece delivery so far this afternoon has been
:57:55. > :58:01.mixed, to say the least. Boruc was confident it was going over. Good
:58:01. > :58:21.enough to get the ball over the wall, but Laudrup's team are
:58:21. > :58:33.pressing and pressing hard. Laudrup Davies, he looks to take on Ben
:58:33. > :58:39.Davies. Support from Klein. He couldn't find Rodriguez in the
:58:39. > :58:49.middle. That come off Dyer? Yes, it did, much to Swansea's displeasure.
:58:50. > :58:59.Mike Dean immediately pointed to the corner quadrant here. Ooh, that's
:58:59. > :59:04.why Swansea are so upset about it. And bundled in for the second for
:59:04. > :59:11.Southampton. That will be a major talking point. It's been disallowed.
:59:11. > :59:19.Southampton thought they'd scored a second, but Mike Dean has ruled out
:59:19. > :59:25.that goal. The ball goes in to the six-yard area, touched in, and there
:59:25. > :59:30.is a little push there perhaps. Dean had already blown his whistle by the
:59:30. > :59:37.time this ball crossed the goal line. He thought he'd scored his
:59:37. > :59:41.first Southampton goal, but not so. Michael Laudehr's side have lost all
:59:41. > :59:44.three Premier League games this season in which they have conceded
:59:44. > :59:52.the opening goal, and time is running out for them here.
:59:52. > :00:01.It falls to Rodriguez, who scores. Southampton this time do get a
:00:01. > :00:08.second goal. Looked to be a harmless long ball forward here. The ball
:00:08. > :00:17.allowed to bounce here. You can see that the two defenders got
:00:17. > :00:22.themselves in a real pickle. And Jay Rodriguez took full advantage. He
:00:22. > :00:30.gets his second of the season. It's Southampton-2, Swansea-0.
:00:30. > :00:35.TRANSLATION: It's important because it gives the team confidence, to
:00:35. > :00:39.keep a clean sheet is important. To get those players on the score sheet
:00:39. > :00:46.is important. We are just starting and need to work even harder.
:00:46. > :00:50.Today I feel we deserved more. At least a draw. But again in
:00:50. > :00:54.football when one thing is dominating, which we did for most of
:00:54. > :01:00.the game, I think apart from the first 15-20 minutes, but football is
:01:00. > :01:04.about scoring because you can only win if you score. We had the chance,
:01:04. > :01:09.especially in the first half, we had four chances, three on the keeper
:01:09. > :01:13.and the fourth one hit the post. They had three chances in the whole
:01:13. > :01:18.game, they scored two goals. We have a great belief in the side and a
:01:18. > :01:24.real work ethic. It's working. It's a great place to be. We want to
:01:24. > :01:27.continue to keep working hard. Southampton conceded 20 goals last
:01:27. > :01:32.season, now they've only conceded two. They sit fourth. They are a
:01:32. > :01:37.good side. They went to Anfield and hunted in
:01:37. > :01:41.packs and pressed high up the pitch. Today they showed the quality
:01:41. > :01:47.throughout the side and rode their luck at times. But they are a force
:01:47. > :01:51.to be reckoned with. Swansea's chances, we'll discuss
:01:51. > :01:56.those shortly, but what about Southampton? Laud run said they
:01:56. > :02:01.started better, and they did. They started the game fast. Lallana here,
:02:01. > :02:07.we give Ben Davies a lot of praise on this show, done exceptionally
:02:07. > :02:12.well, but he doesn't track his runner there, Lallana gets the cross
:02:12. > :02:17.in and Ben, we can see from this other angle, when he gets the cross
:02:17. > :02:22.in, Lallana goes up the inside, Ben looks over his left shoulder and
:02:22. > :02:25.doesn't see Lallana, carries on his run and he should be tracking his
:02:25. > :02:30.runner there. He gets on the inside and in the end it's a fan it is a
:02:30. > :02:34.tuck finish. Southampton have done greet, only
:02:34. > :02:40.conceded two all season, up to fourth, so it's a great win for
:02:40. > :02:44.them. They were helped by the keeper again today.
:02:44. > :02:48.They have spent some money trying to strengthen the spine. Boruc was
:02:48. > :02:52.impressive this afternoon, wasn't he? He's a world class player. I
:02:52. > :03:05.played with him at Celtic and some of the saves he's capable of making.
:03:05. > :03:13.We see this one, Michu gets to it, stands up late, this time Bony.
:03:13. > :03:16.Boruc was beaten and Southampton get a bit of luck the one time he was
:03:16. > :03:22.beaten. Dyer this time, brilliant header
:03:22. > :03:27.from Bony. Couldn't have done any more. You see the power he gets and
:03:27. > :03:32.that's world class. Southampton were helped by Boruc's performances. What
:03:32. > :03:39.is he like as a bloke because he struggled when he joined
:03:39. > :03:42.Southampton? He's a good bloke, typically Polish.
:03:42. > :03:48.He's a character. The one thing he has got is brat ability, he's a
:03:48. > :03:52.great shot-stopper. Excellent this afternoon. Would San sea's cause
:03:52. > :03:55.have been helped if they had Williams today? I think so, he's
:03:55. > :04:01.Captain of Swansea and his country. He doesn't miss many games and you
:04:01. > :04:05.think the second goal today at times you look at it and wonder whether
:04:05. > :04:14.Ashley might have put his foot through this. It's a total mix-up
:04:14. > :04:20.between the two players. He has to head that back to the
:04:20. > :04:25.keeper or put his foot through it. Rodriguez hustles and it's a good
:04:25. > :04:29.finish the end. Michu is someone we have praised a lot also on the Match
:04:29. > :04:35.of the Day. Lots of people praise him. He's been called up for the
:04:35. > :04:42.Spanish see yaed as well -- squad as well. How are you viewing his
:04:42. > :04:50.partnership with Bony which is still in a fledgling stage? Laud run wants
:04:50. > :04:58.to play them both in the same team I think -- Laudrup. Michu wants this,
:04:58. > :05:05.off Bony. Bony opts for a team shot. You can see once or twice that Michu
:05:05. > :05:09.plays into Bony here. For them both to play together, it needs to work.
:05:09. > :05:13.For the last four, five, six seasons, Swansea have been playing
:05:13. > :05:18.with the one at top. It's disrupted how they play. The results have
:05:18. > :05:25.shown that this season. I would like to see Michu not come in so deep.
:05:25. > :05:29.He should be further up the pitch. No way he's scoring from those
:05:29. > :05:33.positions. And Michu is so powerful, a good centre forward who can get
:05:33. > :05:41.hold of it. He plays it around the corner. A poor touch from Bony.
:05:41. > :05:47.Laudrup spent £12 million on Bony. Great work from Michu. Sets up Bony
:05:47. > :05:52.who can't get the height and power. They are looking to play together
:05:52. > :05:57.all the time, so the signs are there. They've both got five goals
:05:57. > :06:04.each in Europe as well, but for that to work, that partnership, it's
:06:04. > :06:09.potentially... The clips show them playing one on, one off and the one
:06:09. > :06:13.off is Michu. He's such a good footballer, he doesn't need to go
:06:13. > :06:19.deep. So he can play but you don't want him to drop as deep as that?
:06:19. > :06:25.That's what Shelvey is there to do and Britton.
:06:25. > :06:31.I would like to see Michu closer to Bony who has great feet. He's sew
:06:31. > :06:36.prolific, he has to play up top. Yesterday's games now. We start with
:06:36. > :06:39.the game at the Stadium of Light where David Moyes' Manchester United
:06:39. > :06:45.came from behind to beat Sunderland. They got off to a great start, as
:06:45. > :06:51.Gardner capitalised on a mucksup between Jones and Vidic.
:06:51. > :06:58.Jones, it's not the greatest of clearances, but Vidic. Gardner is on
:06:58. > :07:05.to it and it's in the back of the net and they have chances after
:07:05. > :07:10.that. Johnson. Great save there. A couple of chances in-between that.
:07:10. > :07:18.If any of them go in, the game could have been over, but you wonder
:07:18. > :07:22.whether David Moyes will let him off have been over, but you wonder
:07:22. > :07:27.with the two goals on this one. He says he's going to take action on
:07:27. > :07:33.his own players if they dive. That's clearly a dive. But the technique,
:07:33. > :07:37.right foot, left foot. The technique and the position to hit it on the
:07:37. > :07:40.left foot. He's cut across that with his right and the keeper has no
:07:40. > :07:45.chance. But this one, if you are looking at the technique on the left
:07:45. > :07:52.side. And the confidence. Sensational. To hit it and to even
:07:52. > :07:56.try that, to keep that low as well. Magnificent.
:07:56. > :07:59.That's the angle, the last one, where you see his eyes as the ball
:07:59. > :08:08.comes over. Great. Here are the rest of
:08:08. > :08:14.yesterday's goals. All eyes were on Joe Hart at
:08:14. > :08:25.Manchester City as they took on unbeaten Everton. It promised much.
:08:25. > :08:30.On side here, Lukaku. Had to wait for the pass. Brilliant.
:08:30. > :08:35.Joe Hart gets a hand to it but it's not enough and Everton are in front.
:08:35. > :08:37.Joe Hart will be disapoint not for the first time this week.
:08:37. > :08:42.Joe Hart will be disapoint not for There is no hiding place at the
:08:42. > :08:50.moment for Manchester City's England goalkeeper.
:08:50. > :08:55.Toure. Negredo. 1-1. Just what Manchester City needed.
:08:55. > :08:59.The instant responsibilities response from Negredo. Lovely play
:09:00. > :09:10.by Toure. He was the creator of this. Negredo the finisher.
:09:10. > :09:16.Banes. Good ball that. Lukaku. Everton are saying he pushed him and
:09:16. > :09:22.it did look suspicious. Silva. Negredo is in a good position.
:09:22. > :09:27.Aguero. Scores! Aguero puts Manchester City in
:09:27. > :09:33.front. A really good finish.
:09:33. > :09:38.Zabaleta. Toure. Zabaleta. Penalty. Coleman on
:09:38. > :09:45.Zabaleta. Zabaleta went down easily, but Cole
:09:45. > :09:50.ma'am did use his left arm. Oh, just!
:09:51. > :09:56.It crept and riddled over the line. Got a hand to it, hit the post, hit
:09:56. > :10:01.him on the shoulder. Back in 1989, newly promoted Crystal
:10:01. > :10:08.Palace went to Anfield and were thumped 9-0. For a time yesterday,
:10:08. > :10:14.it looks like a case of history repeating itself.
:10:14. > :10:24.Suarez looking for Enrique. Back to Suarez. Needed a stretch.
:10:24. > :10:29.And Liverpool have Suarez back. The happy home coming. Stumbled,
:10:29. > :10:31.slipped, poked it in. Security you think.
:10:32. > :10:57.Moses in the middle. The far side is Stirling. Didn't
:10:57. > :11:02.need anyone else, Sturridge. Bang! Denied a goal scoring
:11:02. > :11:14.opportunity. Gerrard shoots, scores. Liverpool 3, Crystal Palace 0.
:11:14. > :11:21.First goal for Gerrard this season. Free kick. They got one.
:11:21. > :11:24.What a moment for the 22-year-old here, got to the near post and
:11:24. > :11:32.flicked it in. Crystal Palace's first goal in the Premier League in
:11:32. > :11:37.346 minutes. Villa have provided plenty of
:11:37. > :11:47.entertainment this season so these are the highlights of them against
:11:47. > :11:59.Hull. Flicked away by McGregor.
:11:59. > :12:10.The closest Villa have come. Flick from Graham. Huddle stone.
:12:10. > :12:15.Straight at him. Huddlestone, we know can strike the
:12:15. > :12:18.ball at a fair old rate of knots. With one Premier League manager
:12:18. > :12:22.sacked already, it was tense at Craven Cottage. The visitors looking
:12:22. > :12:24.to avoid a third consecutive defeat. Fulham had lost four of the last
:12:24. > :12:41.five. Being pursued by Senderos here.
:12:41. > :12:47.One or two hopeful Stoke appeals against Senderos. He stretches. Did
:12:47. > :12:54.he it was the ball -- did he touch the ball or was that a penalty
:12:54. > :12:58.stroke? He's gone down. The ref looks at it.
:12:58. > :13:06.Definitely a touch on him. There's been an appeal at both ends in the
:13:06. > :13:10.first half. Darren Bent. Bent scores!
:13:11. > :13:17.A lifeline for Fulham. Darren Bent comes on as sub and gets
:13:17. > :13:25.the goal that Fulham and Martin Jol so desperately needed.
:13:25. > :13:27.This is Dahl brent back to his England days.
:13:27. > :13:31.Newcastle were another of those club desperate for a win going into
:13:31. > :13:49.yesterday -- Darren about Bent. Only one thing on his mind and what
:13:49. > :13:57.a finish for Remy. Stepped inside two defenders and
:13:57. > :14:02.that's inch perfect. Cisse went with his right. Martial
:14:03. > :14:08.and Remy. Beautiful. Just guided it into the bottom
:14:08. > :14:14.corner and it's the perfect response that Pardew and those supporters
:14:14. > :14:17.demanded. Odemwingie on side. Fabulous chance.
:14:17. > :14:33.Cardiff back in it. Lovely first-time ball from Jordan,
:14:33. > :14:37.and Odemwingie took his time and kept his cool. Time for September's
:14:38. > :14:41.goal of the month. This is how it works - at the moment, you watch
:14:41. > :14:42.them. John picks the winner. You shout at the telly because you
:14:42. > :15:03.disagree with him. Ramsey, strong of mind and body and
:15:03. > :15:07.purpose these days, Rosicky, Walcott has got on behind. Giroud, 1-0,
:15:07. > :15:29.Arsenal. Arsenal-1, Tottenham-0. Jenkinson. Great goal. What a strike
:15:29. > :15:41.from Ramsey. That is a sweet, sweet strike.
:15:41. > :15:51.Soldano gets that one down. Eriksen. A well-made goal, and the new boy
:15:51. > :16:03.had a part to play in it as well. Beautifully tucked in.
:16:03. > :16:13.Al al Alako is on the edge. Oh, that is magnificent. We've seen a few
:16:13. > :16:15.good volleys in the Premier League this season, and this is right up
:16:15. > :16:29.there. Banks - goes the other way and in.
:16:29. > :16:40.Astonishing - a wonderful display of how to take a free kick from Baines.
:16:40. > :16:48.Crawley won't be beaten easily - he will be beaten, though. Aguero. City
:16:48. > :16:50.lead. A lovely ball, in and that's a great finish from Sergio Aguero. The
:16:50. > :17:08.ball's behind him. S in Young couldn't find Welbeck.
:17:08. > :17:12.Fellaini won't catch him. Company is coming forward here. Anybody else
:17:12. > :17:20.want to have a go? Over the head of Negredo. It's Nasri for 4. It's
:17:20. > :17:33.becoming a battering. City's Derby day delight. Good ball. Finds Ruiz,
:17:33. > :17:38.not on long and scores - absolutely exquisite! It's one of the first
:17:38. > :17:43.he's had since he's come on, and when his side needed some inspiring,
:17:43. > :17:53.he's done exactly that, a fabulous goal.
:17:53. > :18:03.Richardson trying to win it - goes for an effort that is simply
:18:03. > :18:09.stunning. What a magnificent dole by Mutch. That is breathtaking. --
:18:09. > :18:23.goal. Inside to Billy Jones. The full-back
:18:23. > :18:25.just got there. Now Amalfitano. Manchester Unite Eid's left back is
:18:25. > :18:31.just got there. Now Amalfitano. way down field. Amalfitano is in
:18:31. > :18:35.here and scores, and West Bromwich Albion lead Manchester United with
:18:35. > :18:51.53 minutes gone. He simply carried on going, and the finish was
:18:51. > :18:55.exquisite. To Ramsey. A lovely flick-on toward - towards Wilshere.
:18:55. > :19:01.Wilshere back towards injure injure. Ramsey, trying to walk it in. They
:19:01. > :19:04.can do that, Arsenal. They have done it. Ramsey with another goal, a
:19:04. > :19:08.great change of direction from Ramsey and then a thumping finish
:19:08. > :19:16.from the player who is in the form of his life.
:19:16. > :19:23.Newcastle now. This is with Cabaye. He'll shoot. It's moving in the air.
:19:23. > :19:27.It's Howard, and it's a super goal. And that's an impact from the
:19:27. > :19:38.substitute and a fine goal for his first of the season.
:19:38. > :19:42.Ten great goals. We were saying how good Aluka's goal was and also
:19:42. > :19:48.Amalfitano ran 50 yards at Old Trafford and scored. Which goal did
:19:48. > :19:53.you pick? A lot of great goals, I have to say. I have gone with
:19:53. > :19:59.Jordan, Cardiff versus Fulham. Tell you what - I hope this clears up any
:19:59. > :20:06.conspiracy theories I have against them. This wins. What an
:20:06. > :20:10.unbelievable strike from Jordan... I have to confirm I have nothing to do
:20:10. > :20:17.with that decision whatsoever. I would have that in sixth. How does
:20:17. > :20:22.that one different from Yohan Cabaye's? Well, Cabaye - I think
:20:22. > :20:30.when you're 3-0 down, looking at the corner flag, it's no real pressure.
:20:30. > :20:38.Baines' kick? Leighton Baines's was a world-class free kick. What about
:20:38. > :20:42.Ruiz? Give me a break. Come on, boys. There were a lot of goals we
:20:42. > :20:47.couldn't put in because there were so many to choose from, particularly
:20:47. > :20:54.those from dead balls in the last month, so we thought we'd add these
:20:54. > :20:58.on, Leighton Baines' other free kick against West Ham? Pure brilliance
:20:58. > :21:02.from Baines, but we know we're going to see this again. Some players
:21:02. > :21:06.enter a free kick and think it's a one off, but he's going to continue
:21:06. > :21:10.to do that. Technically, he's world class. Lambert is there for
:21:10. > :21:15.Southampton against Crystal Palace. Wayne Rooney's in the Manchester
:21:15. > :21:24.derby - United 4-0 down. The great players keep doing it, don't they?
:21:24. > :21:30.And the final one, Bacuna for Villa against Manchester City. Have you...
:21:30. > :21:36.Who picks the picks? Well, I don't know who picks the picks. John. John
:21:37. > :21:41.picks the picks! They're great goals. I was saying, we can't pick
:21:41. > :21:44.Baines because he might do it again. That's right. That's good. I like
:21:45. > :21:48.that. Baines will do it again because he's top class. It doesn't
:21:49. > :21:52.count. I think you've got to look at the moment as well. At the moment,
:21:52. > :21:54.it's a winning goal, the last minute, at Fulham, away. I thought
:21:54. > :22:00.it was a great goal. Jordan Mutch, minute, at Fulham, away. I thought
:22:00. > :22:01.Goal of the Month for September. Let's look at the Barclays Premier
:22:01. > :22:31.League table, shall we? Where do kids pick up falling down
:22:31. > :22:39.so easily and appealing to the referee? This is where they pick it
:22:39. > :22:44.up from. We did nearly add this on to the whole highlights reel earlier
:22:44. > :22:48.on. This is at the KC Stadium yesterday. We need to improve the
:22:48. > :22:52.ceiling space in our interview rooms!
:22:52. > :23:06.And as usual, we'll show the best players in the world making mistakes
:23:06. > :23:15.over the course of the weekend. But equally, we'll praise the keepers.
:23:15. > :23:18.Boruc with that save. That save at the Stadium of Light. What a
:23:18. > :23:25.difference 90 minutes makes. This is before the game at White Hart Lane,
:23:25. > :23:32.and this is after. That is it. Thanks to John. Seriously, thanks to
:23:32. > :23:34.Alan as well. We will see you in two weeks after the international break.
:23:34. > :23:38.Good night.
