:01:32. > :01:42.For thrillers for you on Match Of The Day, with plenty of twists.
:01:43. > :01:48.After many a battle on the field, Martin Keown and Alan Shearer might
:01:49. > :01:52.have the odd disagreement tonight. Today is Remembrance Sunday, and
:01:53. > :01:56.before all four of the matches, and minute's silence was held, and
:01:57. > :01:58.perfectly observed to honour all those who have fallen in conflicts
:01:59. > :02:18.around the world. Onto the action. The first match is
:02:19. > :02:23.a big one, as the league leaders travel to the home of the reigning
:02:24. > :02:33.champions. Your commentator is Jonathan Pearce. From title deciders
:02:34. > :02:38.and sumptuous goals to fighting. This fixture has produced the good,
:02:39. > :02:43.the bad and the ugly. This gunfight promises more of the same.
:02:44. > :02:46.Manchester United are only too aware that an Arsenal victory would leave
:02:47. > :02:52.the reigning champions 11 points away from top spot. That would be
:02:53. > :02:57.the biggest golf to bridge since 2005. For the 14th time this season,
:02:58. > :03:05.Manchester United change the back four, Jonny Evans returning for Rio
:03:06. > :03:09.Ferdinand. Three other changes, Phil Jones is brought in, Michael Carrick
:03:10. > :03:19.is back, as well as Robin van Persie against his old club. The return of
:03:20. > :03:24.Mathieu Flamini is crucial, and Thomas Vermaelen gets his first
:03:25. > :03:28.league start. Jack Wilshere is on the bench and may be needed because
:03:29. > :03:36.Mikel Arteta has a touch of that bug. They are the only side to have
:03:37. > :03:37.scored in every game, Arsenal. Michael Carrick has a little bit of
:03:38. > :03:52.space. Deflected off Mikel Arteta. Huge
:03:53. > :03:55.game for Manchester United, possibly more important than it is for
:03:56. > :03:57.Arsenal, because a defeat for them would leave them surely out of the
:03:58. > :04:14.title race. He will not dive in, Wayne Rooney
:04:15. > :04:21.got the cross away, and it was defending from Thomas Vermaelen,
:04:22. > :04:23.under pressure. Arsenal will need to do more to cut out the crosses at
:04:24. > :04:38.source. Robin Van Persie! Almost inevitably,
:04:39. > :04:45.it is Robin Van Persie. Manchester United are leading. The man Arsene
:04:46. > :04:50.Wenger describes as still something of an Arsenal man scores against his
:04:51. > :04:58.former side. It is the Manchester United fans singing the name of
:04:59. > :05:04.Robin Van Persie. Virtually the only place the header could find the back
:05:05. > :05:10.of the net, and he founded. 150 goals in his last 197 club games.
:05:11. > :05:14.Slowly, slowly, it is coming together for David Moyes. There was
:05:15. > :05:28.bound to be an effect caused by the departure of Alex Ferguson and David
:05:29. > :05:42.Gill. Now we will see how are. -- we will see how resilient Arsenal are.
:05:43. > :05:54.Arsenal's first effort of the game. Alex Ferguson watching on. What must
:05:55. > :06:02.he be feeling? So many battles, Sir Alex Ferguson against Arsene Wenger.
:06:03. > :06:23.That should have been a goal kick. The referee was blindsided. Arsenal
:06:24. > :06:30.switch off again. The goalkeeper is in real trouble.
:06:31. > :06:40.He went down and he stayed down. He is moving now, which is a good sign.
:06:41. > :06:44.But here is the debate, remember what happened to the Tottenham
:06:45. > :06:48.goalkeeper, he was concussed but he played on. There is a growing body
:06:49. > :06:53.of thought that would say the player should not carry on. That was a
:06:54. > :06:59.really bad aerial collision, brave goalkeeping. Phil Jones has been
:07:00. > :07:06.booked their, he came out of it groggy as well. Boy checks Chesney
:07:07. > :07:11.is OK. I think that was an honest effort to get the ball -- Szczesny
:07:12. > :07:33.is OK. Good punch by David Haye. Mathieu
:07:34. > :07:42.Flamini was challenged at the near post. -- De Gea.
:07:43. > :07:48.Nemanja Vidic got really slammed into by the goalkeeper. The debate
:07:49. > :07:54.this week has gathered momentum about players needing to stay off
:07:55. > :07:59.after concussion. We have had two incidents in this first half. Just
:08:00. > :08:03.how badly will Manchester United miss Nemanja Vidic in the second
:08:04. > :08:08.half? He has not reappeared after that blow to the head. Tom Cleverley
:08:09. > :08:18.has come on in the midfield, Phil Jones has dropped back.
:08:19. > :08:25.The goalkeeper felt that he kept it in. That is not out of play. That is
:08:26. > :08:52.never out of play. Big moment, this. Site netting. Some of the Arsenal
:08:53. > :08:56.fans thought it was in. Justice was done because it was never a corner
:08:57. > :09:01.in the first place. Look at Wayne Rooney, absolutely throws himself at
:09:02. > :09:10.it, may be forced to mess it is all to snatch at the shot.
:09:11. > :09:20.Normally so deadly against Arsenal, he has squandered a chance to give
:09:21. > :09:25.Manchester United the buffer of 2-0 lead. If this had gone in, it would
:09:26. > :09:31.have been a long way back for Arsenal. Roy Hodgson watching on.
:09:32. > :09:42.Plenty of interest for them here today. Here is Jack Wilshere.
:09:43. > :10:00.The touch did not come. Kieran Gibbs was all the way into the six yard
:10:01. > :10:02.box. This was one of the best crosses of the game. That came so
:10:03. > :10:08.close. Robin Van Persie's first-half goal
:10:09. > :10:29.still celebrates the teams. -- separates. Yellow card for Jack
:10:30. > :10:34.Wilshere. Close to a suspension now. Robin Van Persie with a free kick,
:10:35. > :10:41.far post, in came Chris Smalling, and he should have wrapped it up.
:10:42. > :10:44.They have worked on Arsenal switching off, they did switch off,
:10:45. > :10:59.it was preplanned, and hopelessly executed.
:11:00. > :11:06.In the end, Ozil tried to set up Aaron Ramsey, and the chance was
:11:07. > :11:19.gone. It might be their last. Finding Aaron Ramsey, Arsenal
:11:20. > :11:26.finding gaps. Olivier Giroud on the turn. Could not get the shot away.
:11:27. > :11:30.Good cover by the Manchester United defence.
:11:31. > :11:40.It will be bad for the Arsenal fans if they lose to a Robin Van Persie
:11:41. > :11:47.goal. Arsene Wenger wants Fergie time.
:11:48. > :11:53.Arsenal knew what an opportunity they had here today. 11 points clear
:11:54. > :12:09.of Manchester United. All the way through! Olivier Giroud
:12:10. > :12:18.was in the six yard box, backed up by Bendtner. Delicious ball in.
:12:19. > :12:23.Quality delivery. If Jonny Evans had touched it might have flown into his
:12:24. > :12:28.own net. This is a statement victory. Manchester United are back.
:12:29. > :12:34.It was a great victory, it was a big result for us, but I was as much
:12:35. > :12:37.pleased because of the crowd, that was fantastic today. Hopefully they
:12:38. > :12:41.have enjoyed a really good result. The spirit was great, the heart was
:12:42. > :12:51.in the game, the desire was fantastic and we kept going until
:12:52. > :12:55.the last minute. It is unfortunate, and I just think we can get over
:12:56. > :13:02.that and come back stronger after the break. We knew it was a massive
:13:03. > :13:04.game. For the players, this is something you don't want, you have
:13:05. > :13:11.the basic things right, working hard, we all worked really hard and
:13:12. > :13:17.we deserve to win. It will be awhile before I get it all the I like it,
:13:18. > :13:23.this is not going to win me lose me anything the way we did it, but we
:13:24. > :13:34.are improving and it will get better in the coming months and years. A
:13:35. > :13:38.big result for Manchester United and David Moyes, was it a more
:13:39. > :13:43.significant win for United that a significant loss for Arsenal? It was
:13:44. > :13:48.a missed opportunity for Arsenal but a huge win for Manchester United.
:13:49. > :13:57.In the game early on, Arsenal were off-colour. They missed the pace of
:13:58. > :14:01.some of the players. All credit to Manchester united the way they set
:14:02. > :14:06.about it, dominating. It got better in the second half for Arsenal but
:14:07. > :14:12.not the team we have seen. You have been part of the Arsenal back 4.
:14:13. > :14:18.And how to defend the near post, take us through the goals.
:14:19. > :14:28.A difficult goal to defend. Marking from Arsenal, Ramsey is the front
:14:29. > :14:34.man. He can't let anyone get in front of him, that is his job. No
:14:35. > :14:40.one tries. Yet, he goes forward. If he stayed where he was, he
:14:41. > :14:48.challenges Van Persie. Also, there is no one blocking Van Persie, he
:14:49. > :14:53.has an 11 yard run. Giroud and Vermaelen need to do better to stop
:14:54. > :14:58.him and put in a better challenge. Ramsey has his back to goal and
:14:59. > :15:01.can't see behind. There are adjustments you can make
:15:02. > :15:07.but it comes down to desire to get on the end of that ball. Van Persie
:15:08. > :15:12.went to Manchester united, he wants to be the main man. Giroud, he is
:15:13. > :15:23.the replacement. Quickly, you mark zonal and you said
:15:24. > :15:28.if he saw someone getting that big a run, you would move yourselves a
:15:29. > :15:36.couple of yards to block them. You can improve. You can go further
:15:37. > :15:41.out. It is a clear vision to the goal, Van Persie had that run-up.
:15:42. > :15:48.Sometimes you can get closer to him. It is down to desire, Ramsey
:15:49. > :15:53.should be deeper. You want to make it difficult for Van Persie and they
:15:54. > :15:57.didn't do enough. Not a bad header, though. On the subject of desire, no
:15:58. > :16:02.one seemed to desire it more than Wayne Rudy. He loves playing against
:16:03. > :16:08.Arsenal. These are the areas he covered on
:16:09. > :16:13.the pitch. This is just Wayne Rooney come he was everywhere. He launched
:16:14. > :16:18.his career against Arsenal scoring that goal for Everton. He had no
:16:19. > :16:23.right to get to that ball. He was available for his team, good in
:16:24. > :16:28.possession, strong. Laying it off nicely, finding a new position. He
:16:29. > :16:37.stopped, adjusted his feet, delivered a beautiful pass. He has
:16:38. > :16:42.that range of passing, like Scholes. The commitment he showed for his
:16:43. > :16:51.team. Presence of mind, puts it wide. Look at that for endeavour and
:16:52. > :16:57.willingness to work for the team. In the second half. People questioned
:16:58. > :17:02.his fitness last season, not today. He just got the balance right today.
:17:03. > :17:09.He is fired up. Manchester united have a chance when he is like that.
:17:10. > :17:17.A great touch. He has everything in his game. Even the goal, don't
:17:18. > :17:20.underestimate the part he played. Van Persie celebrating with him.
:17:21. > :17:26.David Moyes deserves credit, they are playing together at the same
:17:27. > :17:32.time well. Last year, his nose was out of joint.
:17:33. > :17:36.I am reluctant to praise people for working hard because that should be
:17:37. > :17:42.the norm, but he was phenomenal. He was everywhere. Over 11 kilometres
:17:43. > :17:51.he covered all stop you said it seems daft heap had been questioned
:17:52. > :17:59.about his fitness -- he had been. Arsenal's attack, use have spent a
:18:00. > :18:03.fair bit of time monitoring. Manchester United snuffed them out.
:18:04. > :18:13.Midfielders getting up to support Giroud. Vidic was behind him there,
:18:14. > :18:21.no one running onto it. He has security behind him. Vidic and
:18:22. > :18:26.Giroud. As it happens, the ball fell to Patrice Evra who played it. One
:18:27. > :18:34.defender can gamble in there because he has support. Giroud has been big
:18:35. > :18:39.and strong this year. Again, you can see how it happened a lot of times.
:18:40. > :18:43.We saw more long balls from Arsenal. It didn't quite work for them
:18:44. > :18:51.today. You have to give United credit, they have worked on it.
:18:52. > :18:58.A changing of the guard, Smalling doing well. Vidic, we hope he is OK.
:18:59. > :19:04.He went to hospital. As far as we are aware, he is OK. Phil Jones,
:19:05. > :19:10.midfield, he put in a great performance.
:19:11. > :19:18.For tonight 's second game, we are off to South Wales.
:19:19. > :19:25.It might not be the blockbuster premiere league fixture of the day
:19:26. > :19:30.but it is an important one. Despite positive early signs from Mark
:19:31. > :19:33.Hughes, Stoke are on the slide. Without a league win since August,
:19:34. > :19:39.they need to pick up soon. Swansea are in need of a left after defeat.
:19:40. > :19:52.Watching for signs of improvement. Swansea, one win in five, stuck
:19:53. > :19:58.without a victory in seven. A meeting of two sides both in equal
:19:59. > :20:03.need of a 3-point booster. The hosts have made five changes to the 11th
:20:04. > :20:13.lost the derby at Cardiff. Tremmel deputises in goal. Upfront, Bony is
:20:14. > :20:45.a replacement. The visitors have made if you changes. -- a few/ .
:20:46. > :20:54.Down the right-hand side, a good stop on the near post to deny
:20:55. > :21:02.Pozuelo. Shop goalkeeping by Begovic. Pozuelo's first Premiership
:21:03. > :21:08.start and within the opening minutes he has tested Stoke's goalkeeper.
:21:09. > :21:16.Some early pressure from the hosts. And some pushing in the area. The
:21:17. > :21:20.goalkeeper has just seen the ball go out of play and come back in again.
:21:21. > :21:25.Williams has the look of a player who believes he must give way to
:21:26. > :21:28.that injury. He goes to the floor. The ankle gave way. Williams appears
:21:29. > :21:40.to be OK. Walters has got through, what an
:21:41. > :21:44.opportunity, and he opens the scoring for Stoke City. His first
:21:45. > :21:50.goal of the campaign. And it was simplicity itself.
:21:51. > :21:57.It is helped on by Peter Crouch, a little stumble in the foreground.
:21:58. > :22:06.Walters emerges with the ball and just puts it through the stretched
:22:07. > :22:10.legs of the goalkeeper. On his 100th consecutive start in the
:22:11. > :22:11.Premiership, Jonathan Walters celebrates with the opening goal
:22:12. > :22:25.here at Swansea. Stoke have a free kick.
:22:26. > :22:32.Williams with the challenge on Nzonzi. Oh, dear. When you look at
:22:33. > :22:37.that, the more it is over the top of the ball, I don't think he intended
:22:38. > :22:39.it. But he missed it. He caught the ankle. No wonder Nzonzi is in a lot
:22:40. > :22:53.of pain. Crowded out by three for Stoke.
:22:54. > :22:59.Palacio is emerging with the ball. Support from Crouch. Straight into
:23:00. > :23:03.the path of Ireland, superb! A magnificent goal from Stoke, a
:23:04. > :23:08.triangle of passes and at the point of that triangle was Stephen
:23:09. > :23:13.Ireland. And those who have made a visit from the Potteries are
:23:14. > :23:17.delighted they have done so. This is a wonderful goal. Look at the
:23:18. > :23:24.movement, the passing. Fabulous play from Stoke. Stephen Ireland tucks
:23:25. > :23:30.away the goal in style. His last Premiership goal came as long ago as
:23:31. > :23:41.December 2011. Almost two years later, it was worth waiting for.
:23:42. > :23:46.Stoke have a grip on this game. A terrific hearts for Mark Hughes. --
:23:47. > :24:01.terrific half. A terrible backpass, Bony is in
:24:02. > :24:06.their but the goalkeeper did really well, Begovic, and there again to
:24:07. > :24:11.deny Routledge. Bony reflects on a golden opportunity to put Swansea
:24:12. > :24:18.back into this game when they needed it. A dreadful backpass, gifting
:24:19. > :24:23.Bony the opening but he could not get it beyond Begovic, neither could
:24:24. > :24:33.Routledge on the rebound. Not at their best, Swansea.
:24:34. > :24:39.Rangel, Bony with the header and it flashes of the side of his face
:24:40. > :24:41.rather than the square of the forehead. And it goes beyond the far
:24:42. > :24:56.post. First touch of the diocese he came
:24:57. > :24:58.on. -- for Dyer. It takes a deflection and Swansea
:24:59. > :25:13.have a corner. Digg oohs and taking the corner.
:25:14. > :25:21.Crouch heading it away. -- De Guzman.
:25:22. > :25:26.And the atmosphere changes, he has had enough opportunities to score
:25:27. > :25:35.today. This one, he simply could not miss. And he put Swansea right back
:25:36. > :25:42.in this game, with 45 minutes to go. He hasn't scored a goal from open
:25:43. > :25:47.places August. And that lack of form was showing in the first half. But
:25:48. > :25:51.this was too presentable and opportunity and Bony, well, he hit
:25:52. > :25:54.it a little bit too close to the goalkeeper but it still went in.
:25:55. > :26:12.Now, we have a game on our hands. Pozuelo chipped, free kick, Swansea,
:26:13. > :26:17.central position. Good opportunity. -- tripped.
:26:18. > :26:23.Shelvey hasn't been on long but he wants to make an immediate impact.
:26:24. > :26:27.He is unable to. Beyond Cameron. Headed away as far
:26:28. > :26:46.as Nathan Dyer, 2-2! Well, they always looked vulnerable.
:26:47. > :26:53.Once Swansea had... And the momentum was with the home side.
:26:54. > :26:59.Sensing an equaliser was coming. It is Nathan Dyer who provides it.
:27:00. > :27:01.There is still enough time for Swansea to turn this completely
:27:02. > :27:15.around and bag the three points. Stoke's first half lead is wiped
:27:16. > :27:26.out. A good ball. Shelvey did well. Bony!
:27:27. > :27:36.Surely he has won the game. Use Stoke City had been hanging on,
:27:37. > :27:40.and one Swansea had fooled themselves into it you felt they
:27:41. > :27:49.could go on and win it. Two goals from Bony appear to have done that.
:27:50. > :27:55.He could have had a hat-trick, Bony. Maybe on another day he could have
:27:56. > :28:05.had. But he has grabbed two goals. It is now 3-2 to Swansea City. To
:28:06. > :28:14.lose from a 2-0 winning position is psychologically even worse. Blocked
:28:15. > :28:19.with the hand. Free kick. Now an opportunity to send forward their
:28:20. > :28:28.big men, and there are plenty of them. This is the handball. It hit
:28:29. > :28:36.the chest and runs up. Charlie Adam takes the free kick. Knocked over
:28:37. > :28:43.his own bar. Good intervention. Stoke City's last chance. Final
:28:44. > :28:49.minute. Over his head. Not cleared completely. It just squeezes past
:28:50. > :28:56.the post and it is a penalty for handball on the line. He has given
:28:57. > :29:03.handball. Is it against Routledge? Angel Rangel is furious, Williams is
:29:04. > :29:16.perplexed. This was the view the referee had. You cannot tell. I just
:29:17. > :29:23.cannot tell how he could. Stoke City can squeeze themselves a point out
:29:24. > :29:31.of this game through Charlie Adam. Stoppage time is finished. Charlie
:29:32. > :29:35.Adam. Makes it 3-free! Stoke City, who led 2-0, looked as though they
:29:36. > :29:50.were beaten, have managed to get the point. The delight says everything.
:29:51. > :29:53.The chorus of booing is a sharp contrast to the delirium of 3-2. His
:29:54. > :30:03.decision to award a penalty for handball gave Charlie Adam the
:30:04. > :30:05.equaliser with the final kick. I will always defend the referees
:30:06. > :30:15.because they are humans like the rest of us, but I have seen it,
:30:16. > :30:23.seven Stoke players inside the box, none of them asking for handball, so
:30:24. > :30:27.there was only one in the stadium who saw it, unfortunately it was the
:30:28. > :30:31.referee. The ball was obviously flying around the box, and I think
:30:32. > :30:37.Steven Nzonzi tried to directed towards the goal. The lad was in the
:30:38. > :30:41.way, was there a movement of his arm? We will probably say yes,
:30:42. > :30:45.Swansea will probably say there was not. I can understand that they are
:30:46. > :30:50.a little bit aggrieved with the decision. In the end, we are
:30:51. > :30:56.grateful for that. The referees, every week, we cannot talk about
:30:57. > :31:02.them, we have to be very careful what we say. The rest of us, if we
:31:03. > :31:07.make mistakes, I do, the players, I can admit I made a mistake. The
:31:08. > :31:11.referee never. I will always defend them because they are humans like
:31:12. > :31:17.the rest of us are they make mistakes, but at least admit it. Let
:31:18. > :31:23.us look at this. Marcuse said these things can go for you and against
:31:24. > :31:29.you in the interview. -- Mark Hughes. They were grateful that
:31:30. > :31:33.there is absolutely no way it is a penalty. I thought the referee had
:31:34. > :31:39.quite a good view of it. If you look at Routledge, he has his arm on the
:31:40. > :31:45.opponent. He ducks out of the way and then it hits him. I don't think
:31:46. > :31:51.he has got a good view of it and I don't think he should give it. He
:31:52. > :31:56.needs to be 100% certain, and he cannot get out of the way. The
:31:57. > :32:02.goalkeeper is the only one appealing for a penalty. This is normal speed,
:32:03. > :32:06.how can he give that is handball. There is no way that should have
:32:07. > :32:10.been a penalty. The referees have got to get it absolutely right, and
:32:11. > :32:13.there is no way that it is deliberate. The player is
:32:14. > :32:17.embarrassed and will be devastated but he has done nothing wrong. I am
:32:18. > :32:23.not trying to put words into the mouth of the referee, but do you
:32:24. > :32:28.think he needed to guess? The same way we spoke about Michael Oliver
:32:29. > :32:33.having to guess in the Spurs game. I needed to watch it for times to
:32:34. > :32:37.realise it was not deliver it, so the referee, I don't think there is
:32:38. > :32:43.any way he can be certain, which he needs to be, to say that is
:32:44. > :32:48.deliberate, because he got it wrong. Would you like the referee to come
:32:49. > :32:54.out and say why? Everybody else has to explain their actions. You would
:32:55. > :32:58.love to see it but it will never happen. When he sees that, I'm sure
:32:59. > :33:04.the referee will be more disappointed than the players. Two
:33:05. > :33:07.things to discuss. Stoke City highlighted the cliche that they are
:33:08. > :33:15.playing differently with the second goal, and also, Swansea, getting
:33:16. > :33:19.themselves in the lead. The goal was brilliant. The first touch and the
:33:20. > :33:27.finish. From Swansea City's point of view, to get back from Russia on
:33:28. > :33:30.Friday evening and then to be putting in the performance they did
:33:31. > :33:35.in the second half, to be robbed of all three points, they will be
:33:36. > :33:40.absolutely devastated. You have to say, it keeps Stoke City out of the
:33:41. > :33:44.bottom three so it is a vital point. Marcuse, trying to turn things
:33:45. > :33:48.around, get them to play football, whether it is working or not, that
:33:49. > :33:55.is a great point for them. On the way on Match Of The Day! We have
:33:56. > :33:59.Manchester City's trip to Sunderland, and all of yesterday's
:34:00. > :34:13.goals. The third game comes from White Hart
:34:14. > :34:17.Lane. This is Tottenham Hotspur versus Newcastle, but for the next
:34:18. > :34:23.15 minutes, it might just be like watching Brazil.
:34:24. > :34:31.Safely through to the knockout stages of the Europa League,
:34:32. > :34:35.Tottenham look for the goals that could move them into the top four.
:34:36. > :34:41.They have only scored nine in ten matches, and today they face a
:34:42. > :34:46.Newcastle side that beat Chelsea 2-0 last week. Hugo Lloris is given more
:34:47. > :34:50.time to recover from that bang on the head. That is one of four
:34:51. > :34:54.changes from the match at Goodison Park.
:34:55. > :35:08.Newcastle have Fabricio Coloccini available again, but Alan Pardew has
:35:09. > :35:10.named an unchanged line-up. Check the Ottey is fit to start in
:35:11. > :35:21.midfield. Tottenham Hotspur in the white
:35:22. > :35:30.shirts, of course. Fresh from their success in the Europa League.
:35:31. > :35:54.He was unmarked. Whistling over the top of the crossbar. Tim Krul
:35:55. > :35:56.deciding not to wear a cap in the first half. The sun is very low in
:35:57. > :36:15.the sky. What a good ball, Loic Remy for
:36:16. > :36:23.Newcastle, and a great tackle. Maybe the ball just got away from him but
:36:24. > :36:27.this is a great pass. Look at Chiriches making up the ground.
:36:28. > :36:36.First corner for Newcastle and Brad Friedel flapping it clear. Only as
:36:37. > :36:45.far... Good save! Brad Friedel makes the block. Tottenham looking
:36:46. > :36:52.slightly unsteady as Brad Friedel flat that away. It was half cleared
:36:53. > :36:54.and then everyone's food and watch -- stood by to watch as the shot
:36:55. > :37:04.came in. There is Hugo Lloris taking his
:37:05. > :37:05.place at the back of the bench. Aurelio Gomez is the substitute
:37:06. > :37:19.keeper. Newcastle are all over it here.
:37:20. > :37:27.Chiriches had the chance to get things moving. Yoan Gouffran to Loic
:37:28. > :37:34.Remy, he is away, Newcastle are ahead! 12 minutes in.
:37:35. > :37:43.Tottenham losing the ball in midfield. Newcastle businesslike in
:37:44. > :37:47.the early stages. Once Loic Remy had it you knew he was the favourite to
:37:48. > :37:53.take it wide of Brad Friedel. Loic Remy's seventh goal of the season,
:37:54. > :37:58.and Newcastle quieten the crowd at White Hart Lane.
:37:59. > :38:07.Here is Christian Eriksen. Trying to get away. That is an excellent ball,
:38:08. > :38:15.Roberto Soldado was two yards behind it. Tim Krul stayed on his line.
:38:16. > :38:27.Lovely flick. He continued the run but there was a foul of the ball. --
:38:28. > :38:34.off the ball. He was blocked by Mike Williamson. Just banding his ground.
:38:35. > :38:43.In it comes, Roberto Soldado! Superb save from Tim Krul. Christian
:38:44. > :38:45.Eriksen's kick, the header from Roberto Soldado and the flying
:38:46. > :39:04.save. The shot was saved by Tim Krul. It
:39:05. > :39:10.reared straight up at Tim Krul. He smothered it at the second attempt.
:39:11. > :39:13.Looking for a bit of inspiration here as they try to get back into
:39:14. > :39:27.this game. Saved again by Tim Krul. Fell
:39:28. > :39:32.invitingly for the Brazilian midfielder. Another half of football
:39:33. > :39:36.in which they have failed to score a goal. Nine goals in nearly 11
:39:37. > :39:52.matches. A little touch of Andrew Townsend --
:39:53. > :40:02.Andros Townsend. Very good saved by Tim Krul. He saves Newcastle again,
:40:03. > :40:05.just as he did in the first half. The cross from Townsend. Christian
:40:06. > :40:12.Eriksen wrong-footed the goalkeeper, who still managed to save it with
:40:13. > :40:18.that left boot and Newcastle's slender lead is preserved. Sandro
:40:19. > :40:25.has a bit of space. With the shot! Whistling past the post. Tottenham
:40:26. > :40:32.have done well in the matches in which he has played this season. He
:40:33. > :40:37.sat on the bench in the first half, making an impact already. The crowd
:40:38. > :40:46.waking up after that early second-half excitement.
:40:47. > :40:56.Challenged. Newcastle conceded a free kick. No arguments from the
:40:57. > :41:01.Newcastle defence about this one. Gylfi Sigurdsson for Tottenham,
:41:02. > :41:08.deflects off the wall, it is cleared! That is extraordinary. How
:41:09. > :41:17.on earth did that not end up in the net? The deflection brilliantly
:41:18. > :41:25.saved. Hooked away. Still got down to make the save. It was his boot
:41:26. > :41:31.which got the decisive touch. He must wonder what they have got to do
:41:32. > :41:38.to score today. Away comes the Newcastle forward. Trying to hold
:41:39. > :41:44.him off but he has done so well. He just would not be denied, bulldozing
:41:45. > :41:56.into the box. Great physical tussle between the two players.
:41:57. > :42:04.Tim Krul beats it out to Roberto Soldado, who cannot headed home. It
:42:05. > :42:12.looked like it was on a plate. The cross came in, still wide of the
:42:13. > :42:16.goal. Tottenham have had three times as many attempts on goal but it is
:42:17. > :42:29.still Loic Remy's Colbert separate teams. -- goal that separates.
:42:30. > :42:41.They know it is not over yet. Inside the last ten minutes. Andros
:42:42. > :42:48.Townsend did well. Roberto Soldado, Paulinho explanation mark another
:42:49. > :42:55.stop. Guess who is there? Tim Krul. Just like on all the other
:42:56. > :43:02.occasions. Tottenham have looked as though they are about to score. They
:43:03. > :43:13.continue to plot a way back into the game. Sandro. Corner. Still the
:43:14. > :43:19.pressure comes. Tottenham Hotspur into double figures in corners. They
:43:20. > :43:25.have not made the best use of them. The header, it is off the bar! So
:43:26. > :43:36.close again. This time it is the crossbar that denies them. There
:43:37. > :43:43.really isn't much time for Tottenham now. His team are nearly there. What
:43:44. > :43:49.a big win this would be. There goes the final whistle!
:43:50. > :43:54.Newcastle follow up last week's superb win over Chelsea with another
:43:55. > :44:02.big scalp here over a team from the capital. Remy got the goal but Tim
:44:03. > :44:08.Kroll made the difference -- Krul. The Newcastle keeper would not be
:44:09. > :44:12.beaten. They had a lot of shots on target so I was really busy.
:44:13. > :44:17.As a young boy, you'd dream of games like this. He is the best Dutch
:44:18. > :44:29.goalkeeper there is. And in the Premiership.
:44:30. > :44:33.He was the key to the game. Getting an equaliser would have been an
:44:34. > :44:38.inspiration. The result is unfair for what we did. The first half, we
:44:39. > :44:48.were the better side considering we were away from home.
:44:49. > :44:52.We capitalised on the centre-half. Second half, Tottenham turned up the
:44:53. > :45:00.pressure. We had to defend for our lives. We did terrifically. Friedel
:45:01. > :45:06.started today, how is Lloris, was that a precautionary issue?
:45:07. > :45:15.Yes, the medical department decided it was too soon for him to return.
:45:16. > :45:18.Was he desperate to play? I won't comment. We have two more home games
:45:19. > :45:29.and a good run. We are in a nice position.
:45:30. > :45:34.I thought Martin's trousers are the most remarkable thing I have seen to
:45:35. > :45:40.date! But Krul's former is just edges that!
:45:41. > :45:47.They chucked everything at him, time after time. He pulled off decent
:45:48. > :45:53.saves, world-class saves. Another one there. Left hand. Everything
:45:54. > :45:59.they threw at him. He should have scored there. That was a good save.
:46:00. > :46:02.That is probably the best one, going to his left, coming back to his
:46:03. > :46:07.right. He sticks his head in the way. He
:46:08. > :46:18.saved it with his other arm, it hit his head. Good defending from
:46:19. > :46:22.Yanga-Mbiwa. Time after time he came to the rescue for Newcastle.
:46:23. > :46:29.Paulinho trying. That time with his feet. Saving with all parts of his
:46:30. > :46:33.body. It was absolutely brilliant. It was back to the wall for
:46:34. > :46:42.Newcastle. Most saves in a Premiership game,
:46:43. > :46:49.the previous best this season was Marshall for Cardiff against Spurs.
:46:50. > :46:55.That was 11. What does this tell us about Spurs, 73 shots on target but
:46:56. > :46:58.they have scored just nine. It means they have two work on finishing in
:46:59. > :47:04.training. Better crossing. They got in some
:47:05. > :47:11.decent crossing positions but the final ball was poor. Nine goals.
:47:12. > :47:14.Only Palace and Sunderland have a worse record. What are they doing
:47:15. > :47:20.right? I'm not sure they know his best
:47:21. > :47:27.attacking formation. Soldado. Adebayor not playing.
:47:28. > :47:34.?100 million. Townsend, they didn't buy him. If you bring those players
:47:35. > :47:37.in, it is understandable it will take time.
:47:38. > :47:42.Townsend has two get used to this. They doubled up on him, sometimes
:47:43. > :47:48.three players. All afternoon, he didn't get a sniff. Cabaye. Santon
:47:49. > :47:53.was happy to send him down the touchline. But the position where
:47:54. > :48:00.Cabaye is not letting him go, towards goal, pushing him away, in
:48:01. > :48:05.two other players. He had a good left foot. Gouffran getting back. It
:48:06. > :48:09.is a ploy Newcastle have worked on. Santon was happy to let him go down
:48:10. > :48:17.there. But pushing him away from goal. Pushing him to work all of the
:48:18. > :48:22.bodies are. That time, for players surrounded him, no space. He wasn't
:48:23. > :48:26.getting through, down the touchline or inside. When you see that
:48:27. > :48:34.happening, pushing him into his own half. Not a threat. Townsend will
:48:35. > :48:38.have to get used to that. He is an England international, he is known
:48:39. > :48:43.all over the world, particularly in the Premiership. He will have three
:48:44. > :48:47.players on him. We will find out over the next year what he is made
:48:48. > :48:53.of. If he is going to be a top player, he has the ability, he will
:48:54. > :49:00.have to get used to that. He can be a good player but he get 's -- gets
:49:01. > :49:07.to fixed on the right-hand side. So, get him more central.
:49:08. > :49:12.He has is to be allowed to do that. It has to come from the manager.
:49:13. > :49:20.I don't know if he trusts him the same way as with Gareth Bale. There
:49:21. > :49:26.is a special player there. Did the goals highlight how important Lloris
:49:27. > :49:33.is for them? He is the sweeper keeper. Looking
:49:34. > :49:39.back at this footage against Arsenal. Dynamic defending. He is
:49:40. > :49:44.brave. He picks his moment, gets a hand to it. A top goalkeeper. Very
:49:45. > :49:53.quick. Brad Friedel. Great ability. Not
:49:54. > :50:00.quite sharp enough, not quite high enough. Any hesitation when he comes
:50:01. > :50:03.out. A fantastic finish from Remy, a proper player. Not to criticise Brad
:50:04. > :50:11.Friedel but to highlight how quick Hugo Lloris is off the line.
:50:12. > :50:16.The best goalkeeper in the PIM ship. Remy was a constant threat.
:50:17. > :50:25.Alan Pardew has said he has struggled how to put some of his
:50:26. > :50:36.players in the side. They need a solid line-up. Ben After
:50:37. > :50:46.Earth gives you different things -- Ben Arfa.
:50:47. > :50:49.More sport is on the way. Join the team for more Rugby League World Cup
:50:50. > :50:54.highlights straight after Russ on BBC One.
:50:55. > :50:59.We still have all of yesterday 's goal is to come, after today's final
:51:00. > :51:05.game. Its northerly league positions for
:51:06. > :51:14.this one. Manchester City are fearless at home. But away fixtures
:51:15. > :51:21.have produced darker times. Hope, then, for Gus Poyet. Taking
:51:22. > :51:25.encouragement from the last three meetings between these sides at the
:51:26. > :51:30.Stadium of Light which have ended in the same scoreline. Watching this
:51:31. > :51:34.one, Steve Wilson. Two of the three Sunderland when it came in stoppage
:51:35. > :51:39.time after 90 minutes. Best not to lead to early when these
:51:40. > :51:43.clubs meet. A fourth successive win over Manchester city would be a
:51:44. > :52:20.major surprise. If Manchester City when,
:52:21. > :52:25.The Latin American asset in the dugout, Manuel Pellegrini, Gus
:52:26. > :52:32.Poyet. Sometimes we have had to wait four goals in this fixture.
:52:33. > :52:38.Larsson and Garcia coming together. Larsson making the point he had to
:52:39. > :52:45.try to win the ball, the pass was short. Yaya Toure, playing that
:52:46. > :52:50.short, meant Larsson had to commit for it. But he was late. Over the
:52:51. > :52:54.top of the ball and right onto Garcia. You would have to say, and
:52:55. > :53:02.right onto Garcia. You would have to say, I don't think Larsson had any
:53:03. > :53:06.intention to less. The first part of the mission has
:53:07. > :53:14.been accomplished, Championship progression.
:53:15. > :53:23.Play on, said the referee. Giaccherini in the middle. He wasn't
:53:24. > :53:29.needed. Phil Bardsley has put Sunderland in front. And didn't he
:53:30. > :53:34.take it while? His second goal this week.
:53:35. > :53:39.When he looked up, he had one thought in his mind, he wasn't
:53:40. > :53:43.bothered about the strikers in the middle. He was thinking about a
:53:44. > :53:51.goal, and he found the corner beautifully.
:53:52. > :53:55.The finish of an accomplished striker. Sunderland's left-back puts
:53:56. > :54:09.them in front. Well, is that a foul on Milner?
:54:10. > :54:16.Manchester City might argue it is, but you can't question the finish.
:54:17. > :54:20.Negredo, a lovely flick to Aguero. And arrogance about that. Brown
:54:21. > :54:33.won't leave Aguero alone. Cross by Colin Roth, a great header
:54:34. > :54:41.at the back post but he couldn't control it. -- by Kolarov.
:54:42. > :54:49.So much pace on it. Looking for Fletcher. A really good
:54:50. > :55:08.ball in. Just enough. Bardsley. Johnson went down but not a
:55:09. > :55:15.penalty, Mike Dean was positive that was not a foul. Instantly indicating
:55:16. > :55:20.as much. Negredo has been talking this week about how he feels he has
:55:21. > :55:26.an almost telepathic understanding with Navas, based on their success
:55:27. > :55:31.together at Sevilla. First chance for Navas to get involved in the
:55:32. > :55:36.game. Getting a cross in. There was that understanding, Negredo getting
:55:37. > :55:40.his head on the cross but not on target. Interesting to read Negredo
:55:41. > :55:42.saying he doesn't have to look to see where Navas is going to put
:55:43. > :55:56.these crosses. He just knows. A moment she the state from O'Shea,
:55:57. > :56:01.Aguero pulling it back, Navas. A great block. Navas again and it
:56:02. > :56:05.falls into the gloves of the goalkeeper, Mannone. O'Shea couldn't
:56:06. > :56:07.make up the ground, he pulled back to Navas. It really good block by
:56:08. > :56:25.Bardsley. Did he use his hand? Aguero. Larsson trying to fill in at
:56:26. > :56:30.right back. The clearance found Milner who spread it to Navas, three
:56:31. > :56:38.in the middle. Running at Bardsley. A clever ball in. It took everybody
:56:39. > :56:42.by surprise. Including Negredo. The telepathy didn't quite work there,
:56:43. > :56:47.but he has really shone in the opening nine minutes of this second,
:56:48. > :56:56.Navas. Colback, onside.
:56:57. > :57:06.Wriggling through, then he shoots. Great stuff from the South Korean. A
:57:07. > :57:11.lovely little dart. Then the driven shot. Just what Sunderland needed
:57:12. > :57:22.because the second-half has been all Manchester City really.
:57:23. > :57:34.Aguero. Oh, good save. A good save by Mannone, lovely play by Sergio
:57:35. > :57:38.Aguero, he used his body really well to move away. That might have been
:57:39. > :57:56.creeping towards the corner of the net. A good save by Mannone.
:57:57. > :57:59.Jacko, a good save by Mannone, Aguero couldn't get onto the
:58:00. > :58:10.rebound. The Second half has been almost
:58:11. > :58:32.one-way traffic. Whip thin, the header right across
:58:33. > :58:33.goal from Edin Dzeko. More frustration as he got the head on
:58:34. > :58:45.it. Another one goes astray. Look at Gus Poyet. This has had the
:58:46. > :59:04.feeling of a cup tie ever since Phil Bardsley put Sunderland in front.
:59:05. > :59:16.He got that. Boy did he catch that. But still, Sunderland's goal is
:59:17. > :59:20.intact. The clock ticks on. Wes Brown, almost two years out of the
:59:21. > :59:30.game. He has been magnificent. As have the whole of Sunderland's team.
:59:31. > :59:33.92nd minute. Dzeko. You still would not bet against a goal for
:59:34. > :59:51.Manchester City. Is that a file? It is a free kick to
:59:52. > :59:56.Manchester City. Jack Colback on James Milner.
:59:57. > :00:07.In it goes, and off the head of Phil Bardsley. The Sunderland fans are on
:00:08. > :00:16.their feet, and Gus Poyet has never been office. And the referee has
:00:17. > :00:23.blown his whistle! It is an epic Sunderland back to the wall victory.
:00:24. > :00:26.Quite extraordinary. They have kept their first clean sheet in the
:00:27. > :00:31.Premier League of the entire season, and they have beaten the team who
:00:32. > :00:37.could not stop scoring. The players understood everything that we talked
:00:38. > :00:43.about in midweek, how difficult it will be playing against top-class
:00:44. > :00:49.players, the proudest moment is when you are able to keep a clean sheet
:00:50. > :00:53.against a team like Manchester City. Seven and five in the last two
:00:54. > :00:59.games, against the team that could not keep a clean sheet. Perfection.
:01:00. > :01:03.Manchester City have one of the worst away records in the Premier
:01:04. > :01:08.league, which is extraordinary. Of course, I'm worried about that. What
:01:09. > :01:14.can you do to put it right? It is not the moment to change, because in
:01:15. > :01:23.the four defeats we have had, the home team played better than us and
:01:24. > :01:27.have a lot of chances. We can change the way we play if we play worse
:01:28. > :01:39.than them, but I am absolutely sure we are playing the correct way, and
:01:40. > :01:43.I hope the victories will come. What has changed? At the start of the
:01:44. > :01:47.season Sunderland looked woeful but you looked wonderful today. The
:01:48. > :01:52.manager has shown great belief in the players, got us playing the way
:01:53. > :01:56.he wants us to play. Great credit to him, I owe him a lot because he
:01:57. > :02:00.brought me back in from the cold and I knew I needed to repay him in
:02:01. > :02:04.performances. I'm trying to do that. He does score a lot in
:02:05. > :02:08.training so I will give him that but it was a great finish. I honestly
:02:09. > :02:12.thought he was going to pass it across so you have to give him the
:02:13. > :02:16.credit. I will take the assist. We will look at the goal in a minute.
:02:17. > :02:20.All the statistics favoured Manchester City except the
:02:21. > :02:27.scoreline. But questions will be asked about their away form. They
:02:28. > :02:32.have won every single home game, and when you look at who has beaten them
:02:33. > :02:36.away, Aston Villa, Cardiff, Sunderland, Chelsea you can
:02:37. > :02:40.understand. The other three suggest there is an attitude problem, you
:02:41. > :02:44.cannot just turn up and expect to win. You need to work at it. You
:02:45. > :02:48.need to do the same things you do at home. Teams are hard to beat, but it
:02:49. > :02:51.is up to them to break them down. Those teams will be fighting for
:02:52. > :02:59.their lives, Sunderland, Cardiff, Aston Villa. Plenty to look at. As
:03:00. > :03:04.far as the goal is concerned, it is definitely an assist for Wes Brown.
:03:05. > :03:08.Is there a file? I think so. If you look at that, he gets in behind,
:03:09. > :03:13.give him credit for what he has done, but I feel deep puts an arm on
:03:14. > :03:19.the defender. He wanted more than the other team. I do not know what
:03:20. > :03:23.Martin Demichelis is doing. No pressure on the ball. He should be
:03:24. > :03:26.dropping off. He does not do it early enough and I would be taking
:03:27. > :03:32.everybody out. He does not, you get punished for it, he wasn't good
:03:33. > :03:38.enough. You see what I have to put up with? He took me out plenty of
:03:39. > :03:44.times. You would take the ball, the opponent and your team-mates?
:03:45. > :03:49.I think Martin Demichelis is too nice there. You have to be
:03:50. > :03:53.difficult. If your team-mate gets in the way, tough. That is one way of
:03:54. > :03:59.dealing with it. This is not unfortunate. This is a red card. Of
:04:00. > :04:04.course. They were complaining about it last week but he got away with
:04:05. > :04:09.this. I don't want to say he is not that type of player, because it
:04:10. > :04:16.doesn't matter. It is a leg breaker. The referee is really close to the
:04:17. > :04:23.incident. That should have been a red card. Let's look at the
:04:24. > :04:26.positives for Sunderland. Gus Poyet said if they are going to get out of
:04:27. > :04:31.the trouble they are in the will to it by passing. They are, and the day
:04:32. > :04:34.they passed the ball was unrecognisable. He is telling them
:04:35. > :04:40.what he wants from kick-off. We will speed it up. The midfield, everybody
:04:41. > :04:43.is comfortable in possession. The goalkeeper is prepared to play out
:04:44. > :04:49.from the back. Totally different Sunderland. They have options on the
:04:50. > :04:56.ball. These three in midfield, I was impressed with. They worked really
:04:57. > :05:00.well together. He sits deep, but interchange is. He will get forward
:05:01. > :05:06.if he can, as he does here. Jack Colback sits in nicely. Nice
:05:07. > :05:13.exchange of movement. This is a totally different move from normal.
:05:14. > :05:19.The final pass needs work. How do they go from doing this? John O'Shea
:05:20. > :05:24.rolling back the years. Look at this confidence. On the deck. Lovely
:05:25. > :05:31.pass. You do this by working on the training ground. The final third is
:05:32. > :05:35.what they need to work on next. You change the mindset by working with
:05:36. > :05:39.the players. We had this when Arsene Wenger came in. It was what you did
:05:40. > :05:43.on the training pitch. Convince the players that they can play and they
:05:44. > :05:48.have in their locker to do so. Eventually the results are key to
:05:49. > :05:51.that, to give them belief, and that is what happened. It is all right
:05:52. > :05:55.Gus Poyet saying he wants to play pretty football but he needs to see
:05:56. > :06:00.that on the training ground. They have obviously impressed him there
:06:01. > :06:05.because he has given them some confidence. And you need the
:06:06. > :06:09.defensive platform. They were tenacious. The way the word
:06:10. > :06:15.defending times. This is Sebastian Larsson, he was all action, great
:06:16. > :06:21.tackling. They are all prepared to do it. Wes Brown picks it off him.
:06:22. > :06:26.Great defending. Sergio Aguero was the standout player. There was no
:06:27. > :06:30.way he was going to beat Wes Brown. Tenacious, upon his feet. When he
:06:31. > :06:35.has to play he can demonstrate that he can play. Look at this from Phil
:06:36. > :06:40.Bardsley. He has been out in the cold. Great tackle. The midfield are
:06:41. > :06:44.prepared not just to pass it but to sit in front of the defence. Every
:06:45. > :06:48.single player is prepared to put their body on the line for the team.
:06:49. > :06:52.Look at Sebastian Larsson. Good block.
:06:53. > :07:10.Another outstanding game from John O'Shea. There is so much energy. The
:07:11. > :07:13.back four were brilliant. Over the years we have seen the likes of
:07:14. > :07:19.Ledley King who hardly trains, Wes Brown has been out for two years,
:07:20. > :07:23.central defenders have that meeting where you understand the game, you
:07:24. > :07:28.have the legs, you can come in and play that well. We start the look
:07:29. > :07:30.and yesterday's games with mixed fortunes for some of the sites
:07:31. > :07:32.struggling near the bottom of the table.
:07:33. > :07:39.fortunes for some of the sites struggling near the -- teams. This
:07:40. > :07:43.dumping win meant Liverpool went up to second, ensuring Martin Jol will
:07:44. > :07:53.have to answer more questions about his future.
:07:54. > :08:01.Steven Gerrard with a free kick, Lewis Suarez wheels away and
:08:02. > :08:08.celebrates. I think it went in off Fernando Amorebieta.
:08:09. > :08:16.Martin Skrtel is in there, Martin Skrtel is there! Got ahead of his
:08:17. > :08:21.man. Liverpool power into a two nil lead. Full are rocking. Steven
:08:22. > :08:32.Gerrard. Lovely ball to Jordan Henderson.
:08:33. > :08:40.Steven Gerrard is playing very well. Here is Luis Suarez 43. William. --
:08:41. > :08:42.brilliant. Steven Gerrard's pass was immaculate. They worked the ball
:08:43. > :09:00.on. Fulham did not pick him up. Steven Gerrard has run him down.
:09:01. > :09:10.Liverpool have four goals. Richardson caught in possession and
:09:11. > :09:14.Luis Suarez tucked in. A vital match for both teams turned on a big error
:09:15. > :09:21.from one of the most consistent keepers. Just the break Chris Uden
:09:22. > :09:32.had been looking for. -- Chris Hughton. Almost across, and now it
:09:33. > :09:33.is in. Ravel Morrison. He kept the ball in play and they were able to
:09:34. > :09:51.turn it back. Jussi Jaaskelainen gets on it, has
:09:52. > :09:57.he dropped it? Is that the penalty? The referee says it is. Norwich City
:09:58. > :10:03.with an opportunity early in the second half to draw back level. Gary
:10:04. > :10:07.Hooper. Up against Jussi Jaaskelainen.
:10:08. > :10:25.Robert Snodgrass! Magnificent. What a turnaround at Carrow Road. Norwich
:10:26. > :10:32.City outplayed in the first half have turned it around. They lead by
:10:33. > :10:37.2-1. A wonderful free kick from Robert Snodgrass.
:10:38. > :10:45.Into the third minute of additional time at the end of the match. Still
:10:46. > :10:52.going. Three points for Norwich. A massive victory for the Canaries.
:10:53. > :10:57.What a magnificent turnaround in the second half. Trailing 1-0 at
:10:58. > :11:02.half-time. They have come back in some style.
:11:03. > :11:06.Still plenty of life in Crystal Palace, and this was a spirited
:11:07. > :11:25.performance against Everton. Curled with his bright fruit, good
:11:26. > :11:31.save! That was no mean effort. -- right foot. Thomas has gone into a
:11:32. > :11:42.central position. The flag stays down. He has missed that. My
:11:43. > :11:48.goodness. His chip was the wrong side of the post.
:11:49. > :11:59.It has been a pre-Cannes for Fulham. Again. Last weekend was pure as
:12:00. > :12:06.well. -- poor weekend for Fulham. It is a bad time for them. Three of
:12:07. > :12:07.their next four games are at home. Here are the rest of yesterday's
:12:08. > :12:23.goals. The end result of this 98 minutes of
:12:24. > :12:25.football meant Mourinho's unbeaten record at home was preserved. But
:12:26. > :12:38.that was part of the story. The shot is on, Myhill saved it well
:12:39. > :12:53.but it was turned in. Ito was there to pounce again -- Eto'o. No
:12:54. > :13:02.goalkeeper is safe when he's around. A good save, but it was followed up.
:13:03. > :13:13.One of the smallest men in there, but a terrifically made shot.
:13:14. > :13:24.Losing the ball to Yacob. Then to Ridgewell. There goes Sessegnon.
:13:25. > :13:30.Ridgewell. Numbers arriving on the far side, Sessegnon in the middle,
:13:31. > :13:37.and it is through Petr Cech. West Bromwich Albion have turned it
:13:38. > :13:43.around to lead at Stamford Bridge. It still should have been saved by
:13:44. > :13:45.Petr Cech. A new experience for Chelsea supporters who have never
:13:46. > :13:53.seen their team beaten at Stamford Bridge in the PIM ship under Jose
:13:54. > :13:58.Mourinho's management. Ramirez, down goes Ramirez.
:13:59. > :14:05.Andre Marriner says NLT. The last seconds of the game. Ramirez is
:14:06. > :14:17.happy to ground. Any defending team will say it is soft. This is huge.
:14:18. > :14:22.Hazard. He scores. So, so coolly. Chelsea have saved themselves. With
:14:23. > :14:27.Roy Hodgson watching, Alana showed quality that earned him his England
:14:28. > :14:29.and his team showed the class that has taken them to third in the
:14:30. > :14:44.Premiership. Lambert trying his best,
:14:45. > :14:49.Schneiderlin is there! It has taken Southampton 15 minutes to score.
:14:50. > :14:53.Morgan Schneiderlin with his first goal of the season.
:14:54. > :15:05.Rickie Lambert looking for the run, Lallana has challenged. It will be a
:15:06. > :15:11.penalty. Harper quickly out to the edge of the penalty area. It is a
:15:12. > :15:14.yellow card. Rickie Lambert with the chance to make it 2-0 and he has.
:15:15. > :15:26.There was no doubt about that one. Nice interplay. Lallana. Causing
:15:27. > :15:32.real problems, the ball sticking to his foot light blue, absolutely
:15:33. > :15:38.brilliant! What a fantastic goal from Southampton's Catton, Adam
:15:39. > :15:39.Lallana. He passed the whole Hull City team before finding the bottom
:15:40. > :15:56.corner. Sagbo, and Hull City have a goal.
:15:57. > :16:02.Sagbo's second of the season, stemming from that defensive error
:16:03. > :16:06.as the ball was given away. Inside the last couple of minutes
:16:07. > :16:14.almost now. Nathaniel Clyne, a chance for a fourth, snatched by
:16:15. > :16:18.Stephen Davis. That is the cherry on the top of his performance. Two
:16:19. > :16:28.minutes to go. 4-1. If you are going to make your fans
:16:29. > :16:32.wait for a goal, make sure it is a belter. Aston Villa kept a clean
:16:33. > :16:39.sheet at home for the first time in 16 games. The perfect day. Unless
:16:40. > :16:45.you can follow Cardiff. Seven hours since Villa have scored.
:16:46. > :16:49.Back in, it is in! No wonder they celebrate because Aston Villa have
:16:50. > :16:59.scored a goal. And it is a beauty from Bacuna. Clark feeding Tonev,
:17:00. > :17:06.has raised for the cross, all the way to the back post, all the way to
:17:07. > :17:12.Kozak and into the net. 3-0 to Aston Villa. A tall order for Cardiff City
:17:13. > :17:18.now. Aston Villa went seven hours 30 minutes without scoring, now they
:17:19. > :17:24.have two goals in eight minutes. Let us take a look at the table.
:17:25. > :17:30.Arsenal, two points clear of Liverpool. Southampton in third.
:17:31. > :17:39.Fulham, Sunderland and Crystal Palace are in the bottom three.
:17:40. > :17:44.We have no time for any more because these two have been talking too
:17:45. > :17:51.much! Thanks you very much. Time for another break for international
:17:52. > :17:56.football. It has been exhilarating, exciting, unpredictable, but for
:17:57. > :17:58.some it has been painful. For them, it could be a long two weeks ahead.
:17:59. > :18:00.Good night.
