21/09/2014 Match of the Day 2

Last time in the Premier League, we witnessed show stopper, Costa, it is

the hat-trick. Some half-baked efforts. And Aston Villa have the

lead. What a miss. And a fresh batch of talent in action. This weekend

there has been plenty of tasty competition. You couldn't have

scripted this And today there are more treats in store for us.

As temperatures rise on the pitch, it is the climax of week five, on

Match of the Day 2. Tottenham 4. Luke can scores. They

have been dominant. Stamford Bridge rising the a new hero.

Good evening, we promise you a much of the day 2 to get you up out of

your seat. There will be goals and stories where ever you lock. In

keeping our Paul and Mary tonight are Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink, and

Danny Murphy. The running order took some deciding

but the powers that be have decreed we start at the King Power where

both sets of fans have new sets of players to worship.

He scores on his debut. It is into Leonardo. Fine finish.

From Leonardo. He gets bums off seats. He commits

people. The first goal for Manchester United

for Di Maria. A third Premier League giant in the

row as the King Power stadium. Leicester picked up points against

Everton and Arsenal. How will they fare against a rejuvenated

Manchester United. A side they last beat on home soil way back in 1985.

Schmeichel returns in goal after a knee injury. Wayne Rooney will play

at the tip of the diamond. It is a front three, to strike terror across

the Premier League. On paper it was a very tough start

for Leicester City. Just the one defeat so far, away at Chelsea.

First victory under their belts. Last Saturday at Stoke. Robin Van

Persie. Herrera. A bit of space for Di Maria. In the way was Drinkwater

and now it is Vardy for Leicester. Excitement round the statement.

Nugent. He has. That was promising indeed from Leicester City. It

stemmed from that interreception by Drinkwater. The turn from Nugent,

spotted Ajuwa in space and but for that fumble of a tough he might have

been in. Nigel Pearson in his traditional positionful up top, near

the director's box, keeping a close eye on proceedings. In direct

communication with his back room staff, in the doubt.

Di Maria. Burst of power and he has found van

Persie. It a was a great saver. Schmeichel. The first bit of

fluency, a lovely weight on the pass. Smart save.

Falcao away. United beginning to turn on the style. The tar get is

van Persie. There is the opening goalle -- target. Denied by

Schmeichel, two minutes ago, not this time.

Lovely work from Falcao. Escape the shackles and how about that for a

cross? Would he have kept it out any way. Who knows? What we do know is

that Robin Van Persie has his first goal of the season. Di Maria. Got a

real turn of pace about him, he has found Rooney. Back to Di Maria. Di

Maria, what a finish! What a belting finish from Di Maria. Even the

Leicester City fans are considering clapping this finish. Beautiful ball

into him by Rooney. Spotted that Schmeichel was coming out. How

composed, how clinical was that? From Ankle Di Maria. That is the

quality he has brought to the table. -- Angel. Two up, with 17 minutes on

the clock. He started it, he finished it. Vardy

away from Rojo. Somehow kept it in. He has done it again. Ulloa. What a

magnificent Herd that was. Well the question is, did Vardy cope

it in and if he did, how on earth did he? It looked as though it

overplayed it there, he has kept it in. What a finish that is. Four

Premier League goals for Ulloa and De Gea never had a sniff of that.

Incredible stuff. At the King Power stadium. The goals going in at both

ends. Goals were a problem for Manchester United last season. They

only managed 64. Their lowest in Nguyen seasons. Can't imagine them

struggling this campaign. Deem. -- Di Maria.

Halted by De Laet rather than stopped by him.

He will try again. Could have gone anywhere off the

shin of Morgan. It has cleared the cross bar. Might have called

Schmeichel into action. A relieved man to see that heading over the

bar, rather than under it. Rooney's delivery. It will drop here

for the shot, but it is dragged wide by deem. They are claiming a

deflection and the referee agrees. Let us have another look here.

Neatly teed up by van Persie. Well, I didn't see any coined of

deflection there. -- kind. Di Maria, attacking that

near post. Great delivery and Rojo from almost underneath the bar

hoefrds the bar. I would have been hugely controversial had this one

gone in. Driven along by Rojo. More underneath it.

Herrera lovely touch for Rooney. Robin Van Persie breaking to his

right. Far side is Falcao. Falcao! Oh, against the bar. What a terrific

effort that was. A real escape for Leicester City.

Inches away from his first Premier League goal, a finish almost as God

as that we saw from Di Maria in the first half.

-- good. Di Maria. Nobody in blue close

enough at the moment. Rooney. Finds space. Good block from

Moore. It will come out as far as Rafael. What a ball that is.

Schmeichel did just enough. It is Di Maria. It is a touch and a goal.

Herrera with it. A Keke back heel from the Spaniard.

And -- cheeky back heel from the Spaniard. United had their third.

They thought they had got away with it. Fabulous ball if from Rafael.

Schmeichel stretched to deal with that one.

Di Maria's shot was an attempt at goal. It wouldn't have gone in, but

for that touch from Herrera. Who gets his second goal of the

campaign. It might have taken this game away from Leicester City.

United now with daylight between themselves and Leicester as well.

Vardy, looking to get in behind Rafael. Surely that was a foul.

Nothing given. A flamboyant ball from Vardy but a penalty given.

Rafael can barely believe that. I have to tell you as a neutral, I am

with him. That looked like it was a foul by Vardy on Rafael. It looked

worse than that. But a penalty has been given, David Nugent will take

it. Hasn't scored in the Premier League

so far this season. But if he scores here, as he has, he

has got his 50th in Leicester colours and there is way back maybe

for Leicester here today. Leicester 2, Manchester United 3. A

great spot kick from Nugent. Right down the centre. It is another twist

in a fascinating day at the King Power. Rafael still baffled. That

looks a foul. That doesn't.

Nugent. Drinkwater. Intowards Vardy.

Not the best of clears. Suddenly United are at sixes and sevens. It

is Hammond. It is in by Cambiasso. 3-3.

We have seen it all now. United once they went 3-is in front. Leicester

were out of it. Not a bit of it. Cambiasso arrives in the nick of

time. Not renowned for scoring goals, but what a way o introduce

himself to the King Power faithful. Louis van Gaal's United conceding

two goals in less than two minutes. Di Maria. Losing out initially to De

Laet. De Laet still going. He has done

brilliantly. Here is King. King. Who is to say that wouldn't have gone

in? Andy King is inches away with De Gea flat footed on his line.

Here is Herrera. Januzaj has found a bit of space.

Moore closest to him. Back for Herrera.

Upwards, rather than away from Konchesky. United look to come gain

with Mata. He has lost out to De Laet. Vardy is on side. Vardy! This

is incredible. Three years ago, Vardy was sent off

playing for Fleetwood against Kidderminster in the blue square

Premier League. Today, his dream has come true. He scored against

Manchester United, in the Premier League. 3-1. They are now 4-3 with

ten minutes to go. Well that is is because our cameras are bouncing up

and down, because the fans in front of us, are jumping up and down.

And Vardy is in again. He has Ulloa up in support. Penalty. Well that

one looked a little bit more convincing than the one given

earlier, and it's a red card for Blackett as well. So simple to get

in behind United. A slight nudge. Blackett lost his balance and lost

his head. It's a clear foul. A definite penalty. Ulloa will step up

to take it from the spot. It is 5-3 Leicester.

Ulloa now has five in five in the Premier League. And this certainly

is one of those I was there moments. He was never going to miss, was he.

Leicester City have scored five goals. They only have five shots on

target all afternoon. I think it is called being clinical.

United have fallen apart, in front of their eyes.

It is back to the drawing board first thing tomorrow morning.

What a score at the King Power staid you. In the circumstances, a very

good which, to be behind 2-0 and respond quickly, to get back into

the game, but 3-1 down again to score quickly and go on the win from

there is testament not the only the spirit of the group of players we

have, but the ability as well. I think that is something that may

surprise a few people, but deserved and shows you that you know, we are

probably a bit better than people may have thought we were.

We did the research this week, and the attacking options are

frightening. But we set it out early that we were going to exploit them

in certain positions, and we have done that today and created the

chances, and everyone of them has gone on the back the net. We have

too much players that want to seek for the goal. An opponent like

Leicester City, they have already shown against Arsenal and Stoke that

they can come back in a game, and they did. We have the game in our

pocket, and we gave it away, and not because of Leicester City, we gave

it away. That is the difference. That I don't like. There were some

very good moments today, some great goals from us, and we know it will

take time, there have been big changes to the club. We have to make

sure that we pick it up quick, and get the results we need.

When I said it was the powers that be the decreed that that game went

first, it was Gary, basically. We're not saying that the other three to,

disappointing, they are good, too. In their first five games, they

wanted to prove to themselves that they could perform at this level,

and they have done that. They have done that and some. He will be

ecstatic with the performances on the results. They played tactically

very well and they gave everything, even when they were 3-1 down, they

didn't stop working and trying to put that tactical planning to play.

Superb. And just like in the other home games against Everton and

Arsenal, they took the game to United. They did. In this game,

against Chelsea, against Arsenal, against Everton. Every ball that

they got in the midfield, they played straight away forward and

they three runners going beyond the Manchester United's defence. They

made it so difficult for Man United at the back, that they ended up

making mistakes. I was just saying as well, against Chelsea, they

played away at the Bridge, they should have got something from that

game. Against Stoke, they deservedly won. Against Arsenal, they were

unlucky. It is referencing to see somebody coming up from the

Championship and having a go. And getting something. And how

refreshing is it to see someone who has plied his trade in non-league

foot all, was at stock spreads Park -- Stockbridge Park steels, and now

he is running ragged against Manchester United. It is a fairy

tale, and he deserves great credit for showing people that he can be a

player in the Premier League. He played with passion, with pace. He

got in this right-hand channel every time. It was a tactical ploy from

Nigel Pearson. He was always looking to get in behind and run at players.

This was his first Premiership start, against Manchester United,

live on the television. And this, he did this ten times in the game. Did

not stop pressing the Manchester United back four. This is what you

are on the pitch for, to make things happen. That is as good a cross as I

have seen this season. Blackett should be stronger. He is willing to

running behind and make things happen.

He was in on goal on his Premier League debut. He was Lester's best

player. He covered every blade of grass. And Ulloa made a nice

compliment to him coming off. It would be interesting to see have any

miles he ran today, and the intensity as well for the top you

always look for the high-intensity sprint as well as the distance

covered. As far as the penalty, Louis van

Gaal didn't blame it for United's defeat. I know that the fans are

furious with Mark Larson Berg. -- Mark Clattenburg. I think it is a

foul. I am surprised they gave it, but I have seen it even before. And

that is a good penalty. I can't believe that Mark Clattenburg was so

close and got that wrong. It is no consistency. There are more or less

similar, the two files. You don't give one, but you give the other. I

don't understand. Penalty or not?

After that, there was no excuse for what happened. The nervousness that

it created in the Manchester United backline, I haven't seen for a long

time. This was at 3-2. What you are looking for, give it out to the

keeper, play the pitch. But nervous, Chris Smalling gives it away. And

this is within a minute. That was a simple pass. Look at the gap between

the two centre halves. You want to keep it tight. You get away with it.

You have small ring and Blind going for the same header, no

communication. We talk about diamonds in midfield, not in the

back four. Three Leicester in space. Cambiasso, great performance from

him, by the way. And they don't learn their lessons. Blackett is too

deep, switched off. This is a Herrera, the playmaker. He needs to

take his time. This is via the again, the playmaker of the day.

There were lots more examples than this. Look at this, four players all

pointing in different directions. None of them know what they are

doing. The whole organisation is gone at this point in the game, and

Lester is just on top. There is nobody at the back who is talking,

pulling people in. The gap again. And Ulloa just saw that. Here,

Rojo, look how far they are apart. And look who is coming back, it is

Rooney. I am glad Louis van Gaal said that.

The fact that he didn't just blame the referee and the penalty. It was

important, but you can't then concede three more goals. But he is

that kind of man. He will look at his team first. At 3-1, how he is,

the game has to be finished. Now you have to keep possession and let them

come and give you space. That is when you make 4-1. But what happens,

they just totally use -- lose it and want to score by themselves.

Next to the Etihad, whether 100% record was being put to the test

against Chelsea. Guy Mowbray was there.

The players are pumped up. The body language says it all. Decisive, not

yet. Important? You bet! Both of these games had games without

winning this week. Kolarov, Milner and aquarium are all back in the

start, -- and Aguero are back in the start. Jose Riga Neo -- Jose

Mourinho has made changes as well. Seven goals in four league games so

far. What a battle we might be about to witness. It is Diego Costa versus

Kompany. Frank Lampard is on the bench. If he does get on, it will be

odd seeing him play against Chelsea. In their fifth game, this weekend

last year, they demolished Manchester United 4-1. Here is

Milner. Trying to burst away from Azpilicueta, who is back at him.

Milner does well to keep his balance and find Dzeko. City corner.

Silva in, and it was on target from the array. -- Yaya Toure. Easy

enough for Cortois. There is a lot of quality football being played,

mainly by the team in sky blue. Milner beaten to it by Azpilicueta.

A free kick for Chelsea, and a yellow card for Pablo Zabaleta. Hart

has called for three in the wall. Blocked by Yaya Toure, it goes

through the Hart. Chelsea are appealing for handball. It hits the

arm of Yaya Toure, but he could do nothing about it. Ivanovic was

hopping around as though it was the most clear-cut decision anyone could

make. Ramires pursued by Mangala. The cross towards John Terry, and

it's nearly came to Diego Costa. Ivanovic got his head to it. It was

sliced wide without a great deal of control by Fernandinho.

IR Toure powers past Ivanovic. Aguero a little more reluctant. He

is not happy with the way the array fell. -- the way Yaya Toure fell.

Anywhere else on the field, that is a free kick. I think if the ball had

been closer to him and his control, it had to have been a penalty.

Zabaleta. Milner. Aguero keeps his feet, shoot, it is saved by

Cortois. And then caught by Cortois to save the corner. It's needed the

Ramires Quick Reaction Alert. Dzeko was not offside.

Vincent Kompany steps in, as well he might as City captain. Diego Costa

can react more strongly. He has not been booked. Zabaleta has. Mike Dean

was smiling throughout the first half. Now his patience is being

tested. Yellow card for Zabaleta. Two equals red. A game-changing

potentially, that. The Manchester City icon of the supporters has been

sent off. This was the one that drew the reaction from the Spanish

international. And I have to say, even if Zabaleta had not already

been booked, he would have been for that. Manchester City have to have a

think about how they approach the rest of this game. Milner still

venturing forward. Milner versus Azpilicueta, and he wins the corner.

City are going 441. -- 4-4-1. And here is a corner for Manchester

City. Bacary Sagna has come on. Kompany has to come across to meet

Fabregas. Here is Ivanovic. Hazard, and Schurrle is onto it and he

scores! Chelsea break from City's corner. They found a space, and

Schurrle has found the net. City a man down and now a goal down.

Absolutely ruthless from Chelsea. Diego Costa hasn't provided much in

an attacking sense today, but he did there.

It's a wonderful ball from Hazard. Thank you very mu says Schurrle. His

second goal of the season. Deadlock broken at the Etihad. Manchester

City 0, Chelsea 1. Hazard impeded by Kolarov.

Schurrle scored the only goal. Can he make something here? It is a

wonderful ball and Costa headed straight at Hart.

Now then, how do you like a story? Frank Lampard is going to come on

for Manchester City, for his home debut, against the club he played

for, for 13 years. Chelsea's all time record goal

scorer, he is having his name sung by the Chelsea fans as he gets a

great cheer are the home support too. If it feels strange for us

watching, how do you think it feels for him? Were he to goat the goal

that gets Manchester City something from the game. Hollywood doesn't

write scripts like that, never mind New York where he is bound in the

New Year. Mat tech, something on for Chelsea. Fabregas, Schurrle with a

strong run. Costa is there. Hart was well beaten.

This is the closest he has come. He has had one header straight at Joe

Hart. Costa strikes a post as he looks to become the first player to

score in his first five games since Mickey Quinn.

Silva. Milner.

Lampard! Oh my goodness, that is incredible.

Frank Lampard, against Chelsea. There is half a smile on some faces.

Another amazing story is written in the Premier League. Milner did

beautifully. Lampard finishes. Ten men Manchester City 1, Chelsea 1.

Chelsea's record goal scorer has scored against them. Quite a few of

us don't like seeing player not celebrate when they score against

old club, this is an exception. 13 years a Chelsea favourite. You can

understand why he doesn't want to go running and shouting and screaming.

You can understand why Jose Mourinho might want to.

Aguero. Lampard find Milner. Lovely ball. Has Milner got another one. It

is just my by Silva. It is Lampard again and now Toure. Toure from

distance misses by one. All square at the Etihad. It is one of the more

remarkable store ares the Premier League has produced. Is that a weird

kind of wonderful? Very strange feeling. It was a great game of

football. To come in and 1-0 down I tried to do my normal job. As a

professional and arrived and got it in the net. It is strange. The

reacception I got from the Chelsea fans before came on, before I scored

to be fair. They were silent and at the end they were amazing again.

City, you come here and you do your job, and especially weird day for

me. Maybe he was not happy to score against so important team, Chelsea

for him, but he demonstrates how professional he is. I just feel when

a player leaves another club and goes and plays in a direct opponent,

he is not going there for holiday, he is going to try to beat his club,

the club that everybody considers the club of his heart, but not any

more. He wants beat Chelsea. That is the nature of football. He is a

professional and he did well. I think the game was sill haar against

Stoke. Ten player, defending in their half. They scored a goal. And

they continue to defend till the end, so last week, we said it would

be difficult for us to defend the title, because all of the teams play

in this way, but also it will be difficult for the other teams to

beat us. I am happy with the mentality of my team. It is

difficult to play a big team. A team trying to have a draw, because you

have ten player, I don't think that for me I would be happy playing that

that way. I don't think he was impressed with how Chelsea played

Pellegrini. City were full of intensity this afternoon, you were

there and in particular with how they dealt with Costa Yes, they

didn't give him any space, they were so ago Si, on him, here in the

middle of the park, Mangala straight on him. They didn't give him the

space, every time he received... Fernandinho. Here again, Kompany on

him. They did not want to let him play. They gave him the respect,

Mangala again, they gave him the respect, by listen, this was

actually the best one, Kompany, a little tug, a little fight and best

thing about it was coming now, two great players saying to each other,

well done. Respect. And it is nice to see respect. Nice the see but

they didn't give him any space, they did give him the respect of look, we

know you are good, so we are going to be tight on you, we are going to

maybe frustrate you a bit, and they did the whole game. Specially in the

first half. Manchester City fans were shouting there's only one James

Milner. He was Man of the Match. He has had his critics in the past. We

know what he does for the team but what he did going the other way was

fantastic. He was positive, he was running at people, trying to make

things happen, he was doing his job also, at the same time, which was a

given with him any way and we talked about this is... They They call him

Dave. This is Milner Genk he combines well with Zabaleta down

that right side. He doesn't stop moving once he has played the ball,

he is on the move. Getting lots of good crosses in, never giving up.

You see this here, he just gets the leg, gets a corner for his taxpayer.

We talked, this, here. -- his team. At 1-0 down. He just gets enough to

stop Costa, and a minute or two later he is down the other end. This

time on the left-hand side, plays the pass, does he stop and admire

it? No, carries on. Great running behind. Good spot from Silva. Look

that the. Quality pick out. End product. That is what people have

questioned him about. Again, late in the game. Still fresh, great pull

back, John Terry stops the shot from Frank. It is wonderful, but also

nice for the lad, because he didn't have a lot of football. They want to

give him a new contract. He says I want to play football. I am not hear

for here for the money. It is nice to see him having this kind of

performance. Do you think the referee pleased either set of fans?

He gave a lot of yellow cards, and in doing so did he make a rod for

his back with Zabaleta? I want to blame Zabaleta himself, a bit, OK

the first one, the first one he got, maybe shouldn't be a yellow card,

but you have the yellow card. Here, it might not be yellow card, if the

referee is not really that quick of pulling it. OK. He is unlucky with

that one Yes. But the second one, you know, you have a yellow card.

You are an international player, you have been so much in this kind of

kissing, this -- situation, this is a yellow card. You are touching him.

Maybe the reaction of Costa makes the mind up of the referee to give

him the yellow card. Zabaleta only has himself to blame He shouldn't

put himself in that position. He is fired up and this one, ow. He

changed the game. Because Manchester City were dominant. Chelsea were

playing defence slif -- defensively. But it changed the game and it gave

them the impetus, if they lost today it would have been his fall. He

tweeted after, I would like to apologise for the yellow card, to

everyone for my red card, he then followed it up with a second one,

saying "Although after seeing this image, I can't believe Costa

remained on the pitch." I am not having that. There is no need for

it. I have saw the footage and that was just, not even a second. That is

wrong. He shouldn't do that. He grabbed him first. If he watches it

back he grabs Costa first. A quick word on Frank Lampard? Whether a

story, yes. You understand him not celebrating. I do. He is such a

professional. You know. He lost Chelsea, and I do understand it,

yes. OK. Too good two good, two bad. All of yesterday gees and Spurs

versus West Brom but next we go to Goodison Park.

Atsu makes his full debut. They will hope not to sufficient a

European hangover against the Crystal Palace side, still looking

for their first win of the league season. Neil Warnock makes three

alterations. Here is Barry.

Straight to Ledley. Back towards Gareth Barry. Atsu will

take him into the penalty area. Round the keeper into the side

netting. It all stemmed from the ball being

given away by Ledley to Barry. Everton were able to build. The pace

of Atsu took him into the penalty area. I think Eto'o and Lukaku were

hoping for the cut back by Atsu. McCarthy. Osman. Deft ball forward

to Lukaku. Lukaku is on on goal. Lukaku will score.

Opened his account against West Bromwich. That is the first of the

season at Goodison Park. They were prepared to be patient,

Everton, but they carved up the Crystal Palace defence, right

through the middle. And that was a clinical and composed finish by

Lukaku. Delicate ball from Osman and a very confident finish by Lukaku.

Stones played into the centre. They may try to switch it to the London.

Atsu making the running. Takes it on the chest. Atsu.

Osman! Saved at the second attempt. They have had to bide their time for

their opportunities in front of goal. Osman, involved in the first

goal, close to adding a second. It was straight at Speroni.

Mix up at the back. And the referee has given a penalty! It was McArthur

who made the run, Howard committed himself an out of nothing, Crystal

Palace have a penalty in front of the the crowd. It is Jedinak with an

opportunity to level from the spot. He send the goalkeeper the wrong

way. An emphatic penalty and totally gents the run of play -- totally

against the run of play. Crystal Palace are level. Only a sixths

sixth goal for the club. It is a super penalty though. Right into the

corner. Ledley. Plays the ball forward and

Campbell. Waits for the supporting run from Bolasie. Bolasie will go

the long way round. Bolasie's cross and in the end it

was Barry who cleared on the half-volley.

Atsu, that was slopy. Straight to Ledley.

Bolasie takes a deflection an hits the cross bar. Out towards Campbell.

Couldn't come down quickly enough for him. Lucky escape for Evertonful

Bolasie is yet to score a goal in the Premier League. Not too sure

whether he could have claimed this, such was wicked deflection, he came

close to putting Palace in front. Kelly will come forward. Looking for

Campbell. Howard hasn't got there and Campbell has! It is his first

goal for the club. Crystal Palace have come from behind, to lead at

Goodison Park. Tim Howard, who gave away the

penalty that led to the Crystal Palace equaliser, came off his line,

for that searching ball. Campbell leaped. Howard was nowhere.

And the ball dropped into the back of the net, much to the delight of

the travelling support. Everton have much work to do.

Atsu, Osman on the overlap. It was blocked by Delaney. They have

defended well, Crystal Palace. There was no way that was bypassing

Delaney. Back to Baines. Jagielka joining the attack. Atsu darts in

towards the penalty area. It is over the top. A penetrating run by Atsu.

He got round the back of the Crystal Palace defence. The acceleration,

and it is a good block. And Gareth Barry spooned over the rebound.

And Bolasie scores! He has scored his first ever goal in the Premier

League, and Everton are punished yet again. Palace increased their

advantage, and are heading for their first three points in their first

win of the Premier League this season. It was Leon Osman who was

caught, and you any Bolasie who has been a constant threat to good on

his right foot. It is his first goal in 35 appearances in the Premier

League, and his first for the club since March 2013, and didn't he take

it well? Baines to Lukaku. Plays it off

tomorrow as -- to Morales. Scott Dann was ever so alert. I'm not too

sure how much Speroni knew about that, but he got it away. It was a

first-time shot by Osman. It moved in the air, too. McCarthy. Is that a

penalty? Yes, it is! It was Scott Dann, and outstretched leg. McCarthy

went down. No hesitation from referee Michael Oliver. Leighton

Baines has a perfect record in the Premier League when it comes to spot

kicks. 13 out of 13. Make that 14. Send the keeper the wrong way. Hope

for Everton. They have reduced theory is. -- the arrears. But still

Roberto Martinez has a concerned face. Six minutes of normal time

remaining. Everton are camped inside the Palace half. Deflected behind

for a corner kick. Late Everton pressure.

Morales, back to Baines. The offside flag stays down. It is just wide.

Jagielka spent seven years with Neil Warnock at Bramall Lane. He is a big

admirer of his defender, and wouldn't been too happy with him had

he denied his side with an equaliser there. A good save by Speroni! When

they have got round the back, Everton, they have caused problems.

Crystal Palace hang on and get their first win of the season.

A fantastic game, end-to-end stuff. We went behind early on, and we came

back really well. I thought we played some good football at times,

and we had to defend, because they are a great side, especially at

home. We were a little naive early doors, gave them a bit too much

respect. But after 20 minutes, I thought we did ever so well. We had

enough opportunities to get something out of the game, so

disappointed that we allowed them the penalty, that was a key moment

for me, and gives them a real momentum. You might not have scored

in the Premier League, but you have certainly created a few in that

time. Yes, if I don't score, I tried to create and help the team on both

sides of the game. Today has paid off, and we have come off with a

great victory. I spoke to a fan about Bolasie, and

they said they don't always know what he's going to do, he

overcomplicate things. Today he did a lot, he was positive. He helped at

times when they were under pressure. This is early on in the

game. He was against stones, the England right back at the moment.

This is a bit fortunate with the deflection, but he is trying, he is

positive. And then in the second half, they were under the cosh for

long periods, but Palace are good on the counter. That is a good effort,

not enough men catching him up in the box. The more the game went on,

the more Everton got stretched. This is what he does, he gets people

one-on-one, goes past them, 50 or 60 yards with his atlases is on. --

athleticism. Him and Saha are going to be very important for Palace.

That is going to be a weapon for them, especially away from home. So

they can soak it up? And then punch, three of them with pace. They are

very good dribbling the ball and getting them far away from the goal.

And today he did the business. Sometimes we ask a question that

might not have an answer. Then don't ask me! They have the worst offence

in the Premier League at the moment. Can you put your finger on

why? I think of it was one thing, it would be easy, and Martinez would

have spotted it. They are not playing with the same confidence

they did last season. Stones is new to the back four, he has been

swapping with common. And individual errors. I think that is the key,

individual errors. The week before it was this -- Sylvain Distin. You

can give them the game plan, but sometimes freaky things happen. On

the +, they did lay some good foot wall again. There are not converting

the chances. Finally, we go to White Hart Lane.

I can report that Steve Clarke has lost his job. I think it is very

harsh, we overachieved last year. Pepe Mel has been reported to be the

new manager at West Brom. Lukaku scores. What a mistake from the

goalkeeper! We need to win games. The likes of Vertonghen can only

make the bench. Lescott, capped 26 times by England, makes his debut.

Albion last won at White Hart Lane in 1984. West Brom have drawn on

three of their last four visits to White Hart Lane, even though it is

30 years since they won. This is Dorrans.

And, after a bit of a model, it is an Albion ball. Joleon Lescott

jumping at the back. Albion get another corner. This is going to be

taken by James Morrison. Dawson gets up with the goalkeeper, and Lescott.

I think it may have hit his own player. Otherwise he was on his way

to a debut goal, perhaps! That left foot shot had power. I rather think

that might have hit his own player there, Craig Dawson. Pocognoli

joining the attack, as he loves to do. The Belgian left pack, who was

injured for the World Cup, making his presence known. Morrison will

take this corner for Albion. After all that, it went short, that Spurs

only had one man out there. And the drive was by Gardner, a stinging

shot from Craig Gardner. I think that happened because the only had

one marking two on the corner. They had rather too much space when the

corner was taken. Gardner city sites there from well outside the penalty

area. Sessegnon, a good turn. That is where he is very nimble. He has

forced a corner of Kaboul. And was that a handball by

I don't think you could have complained if Kevin Friend had given

a penalty, with his arms stretched out that far. The two coaches

side-by-side on the touchline. And is that a chance for Adebayor? No,

it's not. Again, Joleon Lescott showing his anticipation, shut the

door on Adebayor. Chadli, and Eriksson is making room. And again,

maybe. He just can't get that ball in. There is an appeal for hands by

the crowd behind the goal. He worked so hard to get that ball

in, and when he finally did, Adebayor couldn't quite get his

forehead onto it. Morrison for West Brom. Looking for

Berahino. He comes inside him now. Good stop by Loris. He was close

there the opening things up for Albion. He took on Chiriches, a

brave move. The free kick taken. The referee had to turn around very

quickly there. Adebayor! The goalkeeper just about does enough. A

free kick for West Brom in the end. You would have to say Adebayor has

been half a yard off to a 3 chances today. A quickly taken free kick

almost caught the referee out, never mind West Brom. Foster was always

favourite in all honesty. He had to make a bit of a double save. In the

press box, an Albion legend, Tony Brown, 218 goals in 507 four

appearances. They are going to unveil a statue to him soon.

His tricks by and large today have not really come off. He has taken

the throw this quickly to Kaboul. Six Premier League goals last

season, four of them penalties Soldado. He nearly got his second of

the season. He is looking for inspiration. It has been labbing.

Sessegnon for Albion. -- lacking.

Out that tangle comes a corner to West Brom. Forced by Sessegnon.

Brunt has gone across to take the corner. He is in that area where the

Albion fans were. They weren't too kind to him last week, they will be

happy if he can provide a delivery that leads to something for West

Brom. Oh, it has, Morrison. A headed goal, a rashty really for James

Morrison and Spurs are one down on their own patch. And they have to

look at their defending, but Brunt who answered his critics with a

corner kick that was perfectly delivered. Whether Spurs were

concentrating too much on Lescott and Dawson, I not sure. Morrison

seems to have virtually a free header in the six yard box. Albion

with Anichebe. The Baggies have done it for the first time in 30 years.

West Brom win thanks the a goal by Morrison. What has to be said it was

a very poor Tottenham performance, but take nothing away from West

Bromwich, West Brom bet their first win of the season on a ground where

they haven't won for 30 years. I thought we played really well

against a good team. Tottenham have some terrific player, they have

strength to bring on from the branch, and we knew how difficult a

game this would be, but our lads stuck to the game plan we had and I

fell as if we were good value for the victory. I think that we had a

very bad day. I think we played slow. In the beginning of the game,

we need to play for life. We need to play more quick. It wasn't been easy

for the squad and the manager and staff, and you know, that win today,

it is massive for the crowd, get them back on our side. Going into

next week, with Burnley, it's a great opportunity for us. They are a

great group of lads, they have worked hard on the raining ground. I

felt we have been getting closer and closer to getting a good result.

Individual errors and today we didn't make any. And that was a big

difference for us. didn't make any. And that was a big

difference for us. He hasn't had an easy start. Neither have West Brom.

If we talk about inexperience at the back earlier on, having experience

in your back four worked for West Brom. Well they have missed him. He

was huge today for them at the back Lescott, I think in times of trouble

you need leaders like we talked about with Manchester United, today

he was calm, he still has a tonne of pace. This is is reading the game.

Spotting dangerous danger, he doesn't worry, he is not trying to

play-off sides. He is reading danger, can he get there? Yes he

can, saved his team from a great chance to be conceded there. This is

just about positioning, doesn't Dai in. Gets between the ball and the

goal. Makes himself difficult. I know you like this one. Jim. That is

going nowhere. Very simple. Keeps it very tidy and reads the game. That

is what they needed. This reading of the game. Do you think this comes,

and this is right at the end, isn't it. I like thisful I am going to win

the ball. You make the free-kick and we have the time now to settle. In

the experience of both of you. Does that come from experience or is that

something that is natural and inbuilt? Experience but also, yes,

natural, from young actually, John Terry had that from young. Not many

do. . But John Terry had that from young. He has learned that, and he

needed that today as well. When you think about Lescott he partnered

Kompany when they won the league at Man City for first time. I am

surprised, one of the other big farmers, no disrespect to West Brom

didn't take him. Because we see a lot of defensive problems. This was

a big signing for West Brom. They have got a totally new back four,

and missing him, was a big factor. Having him today, you, you saw the

difference, you know. In the confidence of Dawson, Wilson, you

saw the totally, the change in the players. Give me a quick tierry op

what, the Europa League. It is an age-old question. Spurs lost half of

their players after playing in the Europa League last season They

played to win, in terms of the same team a lot and the amount of games

gave them problems. The other night he rested nearly all of them. So

there was no excuse for a that performance. It doesn't apply for

this game, because he changed ten plays -- players annal only one who

played Thursday played today. Everton had a go and Tay had to mix

the team up and they suffered for it today. OK. On to the first batch of

games yesterday. Starting at a passionate St James's Park.

If not me at least get behind the team was the message from the

manager. Today's game seems as much about how the players cope, in

cauldron of negativity. Here is Colback he has lost out though

Jelle. Brilliant finish. Superb goal. And what might that mean to

the atmosphere in St James's Park. Jelavic. You can't legislate for

that. Diame. He can hit them. He has. Into the back at the Newcastle

net. And it is double trouble for Alan Pardew.

Diame, with a crunching shot, beyond the reach of Tim Krul. Two wonderful

goals you have to say. He was about to bring on Cisse, now he has little

option, than to bring on a player who has been injured for five

months. Here trying the lead a more positive

charge. Cisse, scores. Now then, has Cisse built a platform for an

improbable Newcastle come back? He knows what awaits him at full-time

if Newcastle can't equalise. Perhaps even if they can. But they

are going to equalise. They are. 2-2. Incredible! You couldn't have

scripted this. They seemed down and out. Until the

arrival of Cisse. Gets two goals, that may well have

saved his manager's job. Arsene Wenger's 37th game as Arsenal

boss against Aston Villale. He has only lost four and only once here.

-- Aston Villa. Welbeck. Nice touch to him from Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Lovely ball there. And well finished. Mesut Ozil is back, among

the goals for Arsenal. Faith shown in him by the manager. Faith repaid.

Ozil, to Welbeck, to Ramsey. Ozil. Another great ball. Welbeck score,

his first Gunner goal. Look at the smile on wellike's -- Welbeck's

face. Wanted too long but he has managed

to work. Here is Gibb, Gibbs with the drive, it was meant as a shot.

It has gone in off Sissoko. He has turned it into his own net. Aston

Villa have fallen apart in five minutes. Look at the problems

Sissoko has got. Out of the corner of his eye. He decided he had to

clear it. Anywhere but there. Have a nice afternoon at the

football love? Yes, brilliant. Nobody ask Roy that question, for

goodness sake! He was late there, the Ivory Coast

international. He is a man mountain in that kind of challenge. He was

goaling. He has a yellow card for that from John Moss. Plenty of

optimism in the air and in South Wales.

-- growing. He was a little late there. Is there another card coming?

There is. And Bony's return to the starting line up ends with a red

card. Now have they got a way through?

Wanyama. They have. The substitute victor Wanyama, with

his very first goal for Southampton. No chance for the Swansea

goalkeeper. Ten points from is a. Respects a very good start to is --

ten points from 15 represented a very good tart to the season.

-- start to the season. First chance for West Ham to get the

ball into the Liverpool penalty area here. High and long and Tom kins in

the far postful and Winston Reid from about half a yard, a minute and

is a seconds played. What a start for West Ham. They lead Liverpool by

a goal to nil. Forward by Henderson, Balotelli.

Tackled by reed. West Ham have the bit between their teeth. Noble.

Sakho. Inside seven minute, Liverpool are two down.

And what a lot of work Liverpool have to do here. Henderson. Over the

top of Reid. Brought down by Balotelli. Liverpool back in it.

Sterling. It was Balotelli signed the penalty

area initially. Bringing it under control. The deflection off yells

and Sterling, absolutely lashed it hope. -- home. It's a wayward

header. Now it is with Downing. Can Liverpool hit them on the break? It

is a tremendous ball. It is all over now. Liverpool are going to lose for

the second week in a row. West Ham United surely heading for their

first home win of the season. West Ham played the highest

percentage of long passes this year they only have the ninth higher.

What is different for you? He has made some good signings, it forced

them to play a different way. Sam has decided that is the way they

want to play. They played a diamond. They attacked with pace, played good

football and looked a different team. But also not having Carroll.

So you have to play different. If you don't have Carroll, you know,

you have to pass the ball a bit more, he has put a lot of pace in

the midfield. He has put Down manager the midfield, and they are

passing the ball. -- Downing. Not having Carroll, but having Valencia

and Sakho, you have pace but you have movement, and that changes

things for a midfielder I am assuming. When you have more option

it is easier, when you have something like Mark Noble. It helps

him and he has legs round him, which he didn't have so much last season.

All in thrall is confidence. The other thing is a bit of luck that

all your signings hit the ground running. All four played well. True,

but the idea behind it, is working. You know, they are setting up to put

the passes in. And, and it is working and it is nice the see, and

they have energy in the midfield, from, from defending, to attack,

they are very quick and it is, it is nice to see. Steve Gerrard got

criticism after yesterday's game, but you think that yesterday, like

Villa did the week before, West Ham set out to neutralise and that I had

a specific tactic. Without Suarez and Sturridge, where is the danger

man? Stevie is the danger man. He doesn't have the movement but it is

difficult when someone man the man marks you and Liverpool are

suffering because of it. What Downing did, he started running off

the back four or three, it became and caused them all sorts of

problems. Two more games left to show you. One

had goals, one didn't. There has never been a goalless draw

between these sides at Loftus Road. Peter Crouch is there, and it is in.

It goes past a helpless Rob Green. And QPR are level. Caulker got in

amongst the bodies there. It does look as though Crouch gets the final

touch. And Crouch! Stoke City back in front. Peter Crouch on his return

to Loftus Road with his first Premier League goal of the season.

It will drop the Kranjcar. And this is in an inviting position for a

striker role. And it's in! A beautiful free kick from the Croat.

He buried the free kick, and QPR are level for the second time this

afternoon. Garfield had time. A good linkup

with Barnes first of all. The goalkeeper was slightly off his

line. Supporters arriving now. And that hit the top of the bar, might

have taken a deflection on the way through. That is the closest we have

come to a goal. It just did and bounced against the bar. Sunderland

looking to win it here late. Anhalt with the drive. It hit the upright,

bounced off the goalkeeper. A game of nearlys, but no goals. So, here

is the Barclays Premier League table:.

Newcastle, Burnley and Sunderland are all without a win. Not even Per

Mertesacker's harshest critics can feel that he should have kept this

in. On the evidence of that, he has work to do.

One of the goals of the weekend was ultimately in vain.

You will all be having one next week, it is all the rage, you know.

Sometimes you just can't bear to look. That is the end of another

remarkable day in the Premier League, and as we have had Jimmy

Willis, a man who could release on the ball, we thought we would end

with some of hardest shot in the league.

The Rekik strike their from Riise. Steven
