24/08/2014 Match of the Day 2

you that Match Of The Day 2 was far better ten years ago, say to them

nonsense. It is unbelievable. Look at his face, just look at his face.

That was a goal good enough to win the league, the cup and the World

Cup. We had never had it so good in England as far as football is

concerned. With the big brother being 50 years

old we thought we'd join in the party and Match Of The Day 2

celebrates being ten with three games to bring you tonight and two

men who never say no to a party, And we start

at Spurs where there were some old # Sometimes you want to go where

everybody knows your name... #. Harry Redknapp applauds the fans. I

am looking forward to getting back. It was a great time for me and a

great club to work for. There was a time when it seemed the only thing

that might drag Harry Redknapp from Spurs was the England job and it

seemed the only thing that might drag Glenn Hoddle from England was

his first job. Both return to White Hart Lane with Queens Park Rangers

today. Erik Lamela, ostracised last season, has started well and did

this. LeRoy first sign from Norwich for ?7 million. Eduardo Vargas on

loan from Napoli is waiting for his permit. It is his first return to

White Hart Lane, Harry Redknapp. Erik Lamela, a little bit too much

on the past. Added by your's header. He did well in the air. He beat

Richard Dunne. -- added by York. Two games, two wins for the new man in

that dugout. Three in the middle for Adebayor. It is a lovely bar and

into the back of the net from Chadli for Tottenham Hotspur. A well worked

Tottenham goal. Adebayor had lots of awareness and

was not selfish and it was a neat finish from Chadli. Queens Park

Rangers have not beaten Spurs at White Hart Lane in 20 years. They

are behind after 20 minutes. It is a corner for Queens Park

Rangers. Joey Barton will take this. And Jan Vertonghen has got

away. It might easily have been two. It was a great Tottenham break. A

much more comfortable save in the end for Robert Green. This has been

a tough 20 minutes for Queens Park Rangers but he has put it over the

bar. They might not get many better chances than this. The first touch

from Philips is sublime, but the finish is terrible. Erik Lamela is

just caught by Rio Ferdinand. So unlucky. Over the top from

Chadli, but a magnificent effort from Christian Eriksen. It was a

wonderful shot. It was really unfortunate.

Half an hour played almost. It is 2-0. He has scored again. He scored

on his Tottenham debut and scorers in his home debut. It does not get

much better than that. It was a good flick from Eric Dier. He takes the

congratulations and milks the celebrations. Hardly a happy return.

Rangers are going to have to reacquaint themselves with the ball

in a minute. This is Erik Lamela. And it is free. Chadli has another.

Chadli scored it, but Erik Lamela made it with a brilliant piece of

play. It is his 20th game for Spurs, and he is already on to his third

manager. Chadli really could not miss. Unrecognisable, Eric Lam Mela.

A goal would cap what has been a highly impressive display from the

22-year-old. Erik Lamela's willingness to get involved in a

physical scrap has been as impressive as has his silky skills.

Adebayor to Erik Lamela, but he tried to do a bit too much and Rio

Ferdinand was a bit too canny and the chance has gone. There is Tony

Fernandes who represented both clubs. Emanuel added by York and it

is four. Great play by Danny Rose. The past is perfect. And the

celebrations are gleeful. How many more is the only question. A day by

hands Loic Remy put a foot wrong today? Eric Dier is a snip from

Sporting Lisbon. We saw an appeal for handball. It has gone into the

back of the net, but Tottenham have got a free kick. There is plenty

going on. It was not a thing of beauty, but Rangers might be a bit

unlucky they did not get a goal. And Bobby Zamora back on one of his

old stomping ground lift the chance above the bar. The chances for

Queens Park Rangers have been few and far between. A good deflection

on that. It is a corner. Just about 40 seconds to play. And they will

have another. He should have scored. It would not have meant much in the

general scheme of things, but he should have scored. This is pretty

much a perfect start to your career as the Tottenham manager and two

this season. We are very pleased and very happy with the performance

today. We played like a team and this is a very good thing for us. We

start to believe in our possibility and our skill and we know we need

time, but we are playing in a good way. Everybody did well and I am

happy for the team and the club and the fans and we showed what we can

do. We created the fans and we showed what we can

do. We a lot of chances and I am happy to make two goals.

the fans and we showed what we can do. We a lot of chances and I am We

did not play well today, we got what we deserved, which was nothing. We

have got to do better. We did not play with enough energy. We were

almost in awe of Tottenham a bit. They have got good players, but we

have got to play with more urgency. When you go one down that is what

you show what you are made of. In certain areas I was disappointed.

We'll come on to QPR in a moment but a week is a long time in football.

Last week, there was criticism of Tottenham Hotspur.

We saw the player was ostracised last season. It wasn't, that he was

injured and out for a long time. When we took over, we didn't have

the pleasure of having his company on the playing field but from today,

from the first minute, this was the fist minute after he got after the

QPR back four. He has a shot there - and you know, for the first half he

was involved in everything good that Tottenham did. He gets on the ball.

I think Rudd was critical of saying he was doing a lot of this last

week. Stepovers but without an end product. He gets a cross in. Close

to the goalkeeper. He whips that corner in. Some say it was great.

Some wouldn't. But if it ends up in the back of the net, any cross that

comes in... There was some whip on it, though. If it ends up in the

back of the net, it is a great corner. This was great. He goes on a

dinking run. This part was the part of his game I

was most impressed with. He chased things and harassed people. You

know, he put his foot in a lot of the time. He is a year away from

where the rest of the boys were. They have had a year's experience.

He still needs time but as Rudd said, he has something. The more he

plays, the more it will come out. He has a manager that believes in him

and gave him the confidence to go on and do well. Pressure is relative. A

lot of us watching this show, presenting the show the would like

the pressure to be honest but do you have some sympathy with how last

season went for him? ? There was a huge expectation on him when Gareth

Bale left. He has come for ?20 or ?30 million at 121. It is a huge

price tag to carry for someone so young. -- at 21. He set a good

standard there today. In terms of not only his ability on the ball but

his workrate off the ball. He was creative. He played with great

energy and aggression. That's what you need, you know, to be

instrumental in the British game. Spurs fans under standably excited

about their third goal. 48 passes. Twice as many as any Premier League

goal scored last season. It lasted two-and-a-half minutes, did this

move. All 11 players involved at some point. But, from the

professionals and you two, can spot the holes in it from a QPR point of

view. What are the QPR fans tweeting in about it? Here, it is fine. If

Harry says to the team - drop off when they have the ball. And advance

into the half and set little traps and go and press them. You know,

there is no energy to QPR's play here.

and go and press them. You know, there is no energy to QPR's play

here. . It is like a testimonial game at the moment. But it is in

Spurs' own half, so in some ways that's all right. Harry mentioned no

urgency about the team which caused them a problem. As two front men,

what you try to do is send them down one side and press them. They didn't

do that. They allowed Tottenham to knock the ball all over the park. In

the end they are in walking mode, they are jogging from one side to

the other and at no stage did they show any urgency. Should they go

here? This is the one. If Jordan Mutch could go to the leftback.

Again, here, he is nice and strong but he lets Adebayor roll them. They

let them out far too easy. It is all right letting them have the ball in

their half but now they are in QPR's half, they must press better. They

are playing with 3-5-2. But at times it was 5-3-2. The fullbacks didn't

get out. The ball is going backwards. They need to get up the

field. They don't do that. Correct. But at the same time, to go back to

it from a Spurs' point of view, all 11 are involved. There is movement.

Nobody is static and they are controlling it. Come the end of the

whole move - as a Spurs fan you think it is 48 passes and you go

"great." But let me tell you today in the stadium they were willing

them to get forward quicker. Once Caulker got his foot N Joey has to

come and rich around Dunne. But it is too easy. -- foot in.

It shows great quality there. We should be talking about the good

things but there are bad things from QPR's point of view. I suppose

that's the coach and man and the professionals in you two, you see

the negatives, whereas the fans, go - that will be one of our - from a

Spurs' fans point of view, one of our great goals we have scored this

season And where you have to give Spurs credit, their passing was

crisp and bright. They were moving the ball B at the same time, the

more you above -- the ball about. If it was Barcelona, we would be

jumping around. It was fantastic. They move the ball and move it and

all of a sudden score. If Messi had done that turn of pace that Lamela

did, and ran in and dinked it it... Listen they played with great

quality and in the final third they quickened it up when they needed to,

maybe we'll see more of that aspect. Were you surprised that QPR seemed

to leadership given when there was more experience, Dunne, Ferdinand,

Barton. It was more about urgency. You need to get into Tottenham. I

think QPR, all 11 players are going to have to be at 100% to win games.

They can't afford to go there and sit back the way they do. If you

give good players time in this league, they punish you. One match

down, Hull v Stoke. All of yesterday's action, plus one good,

two bad to come but next we take a trip to the Stadium of Light.

Galloppa gl's reign although Old Trafford didn't get off to the start

he wanted -- Louis van Gaal's. Their response was to spend ?16

million, and di Maria potentially on his way.

Sunderland had an incredible escape from relegation last season. They

got point last weekend at West Brom and they will be looking to take

advantages of any weaknesses in United this afternoon. Guy Mowbry is

at the stadium of night. Gus Poyet faced Manchester United

for the fist time last season, three nips too all and ended up smiling

every time. -- for the first time. Now he is aiming for a first league

at home against Manchester United. He will try to do it with this team.

Buckley, signed from Brighton takes the place of Johnstone. For United

three changes from their opening-day defeat from Swansea:

And there is a key change - Robin van Persie is back to start. Hearn

an Des makes way. -- Hearn an Des. - Hernandez.

Zblets Let's see who makes the brighter start.

Giving the ball away. Fletcher making inroads.

Young there, he caused all the mess in the first place.

Very nearly a disastrous start for Manchester United. It was almost

right, that ball from Wickham to Fletche. Jones across to stop him.

Fletcher running in behind him. Black Blackett just about got there.

Valencia, teed up for Cleverly. Teed up too high.

The note-taking is non-stop. The attention to detail sin credible.

Ashley Young. Loads of room for Valencia. Fletcher had a look but it

was that look that allowed Seb Larsson in to win the ball. Buckley

taking on Blackett and leaving him behind A lovely ball through to

Wickham. Wickham's finish is weak Buckley is the player catching the

eye for Sunderland. Moved inside. A lovely ball for Wickham. He got his

legs in a bit of a mix-up. He couldn't sort himself out for a

crisp shot on de Gea's goal. All the way across for Mata to

score. Manchester United take the lead, against the run of play. Was

it Larsson, was it Mata? It doesn't matter for Manchester United. Louis

van Gaal's team have ridden an early storm here. Let's look, van Persie.

Valencia. Should he have been kept away better than that. Once it is in

that area, it is dangerous. Such a hard one to defend. The official

public address announcement for now has given the goal to the Manchester

United man. Certainly Seb Larsson won't want it.

Buckley, furned on a six Spence and kept on going. -- turned on a six

pence. He is the player getting Sunderland's bums off seats so far.

They win a corner. He has won a few things in the opening half hour of

the game. Better not tell them that even though he is from Oldham, he

actually grew up a Newcastle fan as a kid. All thanks to his admiration

for one A Shearer. Good delivery. Good header. Powered in by Jack

Rodwell. On his home debut, he draws Sunderland level. His first ever

Premier League goal for Everton came against Manchester United in a 3-1

win. He was running away from Valencia. Then he stopped, held his

ground. Timed his jump and put his header in just the right place. The

?10 million man from Manchester City, where he couldn't get a look

in s a big player for Sunderland already. Sunderland 1, Manchester

United 1. You would say, on the balance of play, it is a pretty fair

all-round scoreline so far. If you are red and white, you might argue

ta Sunderland should be in front. -- you might argue that.

Johnstone would have been pleased if he'd had the sort of impact on the

game that Buckley has had. Vergini and not bad. Nodded across to

Fletche. That would have been special. He needed to make it flush

and it came off the edge of the boot.

Up goes Wickham. Not down, away from Rodwell. A Sunderland throw-in.

Wickham, Rodwell. The ball back N Wickham, it was missed by Keane.

Wickham and it is behind from Blackett. It could easily have gone

into his own goal. Wickham made a bit of a mess to the finish, in

truth. A mistake from Michael Keane there. Good work from Wickham. The

shot was going wide. We might be seeing Danny Welbeck, soon, that we

are told, has been told he can leave Manchester United. There certainly

won't be any shortage of interest. This might be, then, one of his

farewell appearances. McToo, and Fletcher there. Van Persie to Mata.

Good stuff from van Aanholt. Manchester United have kept

possession for an awfully long time. Moving the ball around a lot but

never really looking like they were in control of the game. Now Wickham

against Keane. Rooney is there. Van Persie beats Brow. Van Persie into

the box and down. Arms up all round. The referee ignores the claims. Down

to Ashley Young who goes down again. A free kick? It is going to be a

yellow card for an Ashley Young dive, too. Well, we are rolling back

the clock to last season with that. Real controversy about his dive

against Crystal Palace last September. It was the second of two

United shouts for a penal ti. The ball was wondy Vergini there.

September. It was the second of two United shouts for a penal ti. The He

took -- was won by Vergini. He took a risk but he took it cleanly. The

referee has judged that to be Young leaving the floor and jumping into

Wes Brown rather than the other way. Certainly he was inviting contact.

Contact he got. A card he got. Brown keeps it in. The ball finding

its way to Cleverly. Here is Welbeck be and Mannone taking a risk. The

tackle was timed beautifully. Sweeper keeper.

Danger not clear yet. Jan The Sunderland supporters had their

hearts in their mouths. That was possibly a match saving tackle. He

got it right. That will do it. You just knew at

the end of all that Manchester United pressure somebody would get a

shot. They will have to settle for a point apiece. Was that a good solid

team performance on around? Yes, I think so. You need special players

in special places at special moments. The decision of Vito

Mannone was a key decision in the game. Probably people will not

remember it, but I will. Was your heart in your mouth? He made a

decision. If you make too many wrong, you don't play. If you make

too many right, you do. It does not come much better than that in front

of the home fans. I thought we did well. You had maybe two at once big

shouts for a penalty. What were your views on that? From the bench I

could not judge, but I saw the images on camera. There are referees

who would give a penalty. Because the two players were touched by the

opponent. Ashley Young jumped into a man, but he was blocked. Does he

have to be more clever? From what I have seen it is a bit exaggerated,

but that is not the point. The point is has he been touched by the

opponent? Yes or no? In my opinion, yes. Is this a work in progress,

there are new faces and a new coach. You know his methods, but the others

do not. They know, trust me. This is a manager who is very clear and he

tells everyone how he wants it in a very positive way. There are no

questions about how he wants us to play. We have played two games and

have got only one point, so it is not good enough. But I am convinced

we will improve and I am positive about the future because I know the

staff and the players, they are quality. Let's start with

Sunderland. Gus Poyet said afterwards he feels this is his team

and his squad and he has worked with them over the summer and he has

brought players in and has rejuvenated a central midfielder who

was ostracised under Paolo Di Canio. I have always liked him. He reads

the game very well and sets the tone for the rest of the team. He reads

the game so well and he rarely was out of the picture. He plays the

ball and goes again. Scoring goals is not his strong point, he is not

in the team to do that. He is a great leader even though he is not

the captain. Will Buckley was a lovely mover with the ball today. He

goes past two players and he played a superb pass for Connor Wickham.

With him and Aaron Johnson fit he will have two very good wingers in

the team. Given good balance on left-hand side, here he is closing

down Robin van Persie. He never gave people a minute today. He had a good

battle with Valencia who is very quick. He stays on his feet and beat

him very well and ?10 million and he runs down Fletcher. Jack Rodwell is

very well balanced. He reads the situation very well and it is a

lovely tackle. All those players who have played today, they can be very

pleased with their contribution. Fantastic. The way he takes Valencia

and the ball and steps back away from him. He has been canny in

bringing players in who might not have had chances elsewhere. They

will be hungry boys. Jack Rodwell will be hungry and Will Buckley will

want to prove a point. Lee Cattermole is a hungry player he has

rejuvenated Connor Wickham. They look a decent team all season.

Rejuvenation. It is a bit like groundhog sees them. Three at the

back, if you play three at the back, what does the middle centre-half

have to do? For me if he is free, and he was free for quite a bit

today, I would want him to step in. Rio Ferdinand would have done that

and he would have committed someone. Chris Smalling is quite happy to

play it in front of people and get it back. That is nothing. It goes

back 30 yards. It is interesting to see the centre forwards. They are

willing to let him have it and he has got the opportunity to come out

with it, but it is not what he does. He just looks so tentative. That is

50 yards. What am I going to do? Am I going left or right? He needs to

drive through the middle, but it is not his forte. In the second half it

was Phil Jones because he went off injured. The same thing happened

again. Do you think the coaching staff have issued instructions that

they do not go forward? Or do you think the players are doing it

themselves? They are under instructions to play it quickly and

get it back and start again. What it does or could do, it could get you

up the pitch. The centre forwards before always came out with the ball

and they were a major part of it. Look at Ajax and Barcelona. I do not

think he has got the personality to play in that way. The media tried to

push Louis van Gaal on the penalties and he wanted to talk more about the

lack of creative passing in the United midfield which has been a

problem for a while. There were real concerns today. There is no question

they are good players. They have won championships and major trophies.

Giving the ball away cheaply and under no pressure. I am wondering if

they are not used to the formation or they are suffering from a major

lack of confidence. It is not just one of them, it is all of them. You

can have any formation you like, but that does not stop you from passing

the ball. Spot on. You should be able to pass the ball onto a player

in a blue shirt. And the decision-making. Darren Fletcher, a

class player no pressure and it goes straight into the path of

Sunderland. Again here they are getting pressed and it is slow and

pedestrian and there is a lack of creativity and confidence. It has

been symptomatic of the way they have started the season. Compare

this to Chelsea. Eden Hazard can drive past people and committed

people and then they are on the back foot. They have got the creativity

and the class of Fabregas. Again Liverpool have got willing Randers.

Henderson plays a lovely ball into sterling. That was a great ball and

a great finish. The difference in the Man United side is when you look

at these clips, you look at the centre forward and he is running the

other way and he gives the midfield and option to play the ball forward.

At the moment the centre forwards are not doing that. Do you have

sympathy in that the forwards are not making the right moves? When you

look at the passing, you cannot have sympathy because they are not

looking to hit the centre forwards. But if the centre forwards can drag

the full-back 's back, that gives them space to play a bit more

expensively. That's starting cost ?164 million and another ?65 million

is going to go on a range of the Maria. He is not the answer on his

own. He might do the Eden Hazard bit that you highlighted with Chelsea,

but he cannot do it on his own. What Manchester United lack is a striker

with pace and quality to go beyond the defence. Danny Welbeck can do

that, but he looks as if he is on his way out. It makes no sense. This

has been rumbling on for ages about di Maria and quality players coming

to Manchester United. If you live in Real Madrid, and you can go anywhere

in the well, I am not sure you would go to Manchester United. Would you

sell Danny Welbeck? No, because he is one of the few that runs beyond.

There is also room for improvement for him because he is a young

player. The answer would be no. Now, last Saturday saw contrasting

fortunes for Hull and Stoke. Hull were one-nil winners at QPR

while Stoke lost to Aston Villa. Steve Bower watched former teammates

go head to head Both managers raised expectation by

leading clubs to their best ever finishes last season. Marcuse' club

has already had a wake-up call. Stephen Quinn stars in place of

Snodgrass. Stoke are without Stephen Ireland, so there is a debut for

Steve Sidwell. There is a recall for Peter Odemwingie. No place for

Victor Moses, the recent new boy. Steve Bruce lost the last five of

their seven home games in the last season. This is the first at the KC

Stadium this season. They have got a free kick. What is John Moss going

to do here? It is read. Carmack are down to ten inside 14 minutes. James

Chester, who got Hull off to a winning start last weekend with a

goal against Queens Park Rangers. Steve Bruce cannot believe it. It

was a dreadful ball from Jake Livermore that caused the problem.

John Moss deemed that if Glenn Whelan was through, James Chester

was the last man. He was trying to atone for his team-mate's error and

in doing so has got a red card. I hope there will not be double

punishment. The Austrian was just trying to bend that. Steve Bruce's

task is all the more difficult now. Patients you sense is the key for

Stoke. Odemwingie waited for the challenge

to arrive and they duly did from Robertson. It is a Stoke corner.

Shawcross is furious with himself. He only scored one Premier League

goals last season. He just could not get over it. It is fair to say this

game needs lighting up. Stoker, just two away wins -- last 17 Premier

League matches. That was a decent try as well. And it is in. The ten

men are in front. Nikica Jelavic with his first goal at the KC

Stadium. Stoke did not deal with it. Huddleston demanded it. Asmir

Begovic will feel he could have dealt with it better. But full

credit to Nikica Jelavic who was in the right place at the right time

and he was able to squeeze it home ahead of Mark Wilson. It is his

fifth goal for the club. A little word or two to himself, the

Austrian international. Most things positive have come from the right

side and Peter Odemwingie for Stoke. An immediate appeal. The hand was

used and for kicking the ball away in frustration, Andy Robertson has

received a yellow card. What can Stoke conjure up from the resulting

free kick? Arnautovic to take. He goes for Shawcross. Held by

McGregor. Well, it was inventive. Well, he was one of the more

unlikely recipients of the pass. McGregor gathered. Diouf was at his

feet. He hasn't clicked for his team today. Now can Stoke utilise this

situation? It is Crouch crouch. He needed the extra touch. It might

still come for Diouf. That was an opportunity. And Stoke and Mame

Biram Diouf couldn't take T -- take it. It is the first time they have

been in this situation since having the man advantage. Crouch opting not

to shoot there and Diouf couldn't quite get his angle right on the

second ball. The first touch for Charlie Ada. And it is a shot. His

international team-mat McGrosser, needed to keep it over -- his

international team-mate, McGregor. Mark Hughes will be disappointed

with the lack of goal threat from his 11 men, against the 10. N'Zonzi

- a poor ball from him and Stoke have it back now. Pieters to cross.

The referee is waiting to see which way that throw is going. Hull felt

it was theirs. He has given it to Stoke. That's a better delivery. It

is in. It is Ryan Shawcross. But the referee has given a goal. Well,

there was some hesitation there. The referee eventually signalling that

it is 1-1 and Ryan Shawcross the captain has got T untidy but -- has

got it. Untidy but most welcome from Hull City's point of view. Finally

Hull City are broken down. Shawcross most definitely got that over the

line. McGregor couldn't keep that one out and Stoke City, finally,

with six-and-a-half minutes to play, have their equaliser. Well Mike Dean

the fourth official is in discussion with Steve Bruce. The big call - not

necessarily whether it crossed the line, but whose throw-in is it? That

shows you it is Hull. It came off Pieters last. Then this happened.

McGregor got there first and Shawcross got there second. And it

is a point apiece at the KC Stadium. Steve Bruce's ten men denied by that

equaliser, six-and-a-half minutes from time. They thought they'd seen

it out but Stoke have their first point of the season.

To not get the three points, with another decision, just baffles me, R

it is too often. -- Jews baffles me, really. It is toop often. We had one

last week and one today but there are three of them. I have seen it.

Well, the linesman and ref gave it to us. These things happen. We put

the ball in the box. It is sickening when you are down to ten men and you

get 1-0 in front and you graft liking that and it is a decision

that gets the goal. We are grateful for that. We are a little bit

concerned that the referee's watch wasn't working apparently and I

think the linesman actually gave the goal, so we are grateful to him. But

it is one of those that we look back, learn from and draw a line

under and look back from. With the technology and everything we have

today. They can give the goal - why can't they say to Mike Dean in his

ear or whatever - you have got that one wrong. Right then, if that goal

that Stoke scored had happened against your team, would you have

been angry at the official orangery about how your side defended the

throw-in? I would be angry at the officials. Not that you were known

for losing your temper. Hull have played very well with ten

men. But what they don't do, they don't react very well. Obviously,

they are complaining it is their throw. Pieters is on his way back.

Exactly. Four have put their hand up but they leave Myler, the 2 v 1.

Really, Rosenior should have been out there. They don't stop the cross

and anything can happen. A bit of a break. Decent volley. Hits the post.

Comes back off the goalie. It is a very Stoke tone yes Ryan Shawcrossy

pullies-type goal -- -- very Stoke, Tony pewlies-type goal.

. You couldn't argue with the red card. It is unfortunate. They will

blame themselves. He has to attempt to go for T he has gone for it. It's

a goal-scoring opportunity. Unfortunately in the present day, it

is a sending off. You see it here. It catches him. No question about

it. It is an easy decision for the referee. Whelan has read it well.

Stoke pressed away from home. Maybe QPR should have done that more. And

they might have got more joy. He has read the situation. It is a clear

red card. An eventful fist week of Premier League football. -- first

week. How did both sides adapt to that red

card? Hull were brilliant. Hull really forced Stoke into making

mistake after mistake. Here you want Odemwingie to make a mistake. That's

a nothing shot there. Again working the ball into wide areas. It comes

inside. Robertson stuck with his task. A good shape from Hull. Are

they forcing them through the middle a bit? They are, but look at that.

They have six players around one striker. They have to be a little

bit more patient, Stoke. They didn't probe or penetrate as well as they

should have. This is a complete misunderstanding Bojan spins. He

reads it and they have given the ball away comfortably. I don't know

what that is. Really, up until that point t really summed up Stoke's day

but this was a turning point in the game. For the first time they went 4

against 3. They Z he slips Crouch N you think - hit it there. He tries

to take the shot and MacShane gets back and clears the danger. Then

this is the cross. It was a warning sign for them. It was. That was the

warning sign that Neil was talking about. This was the goal. A huge bit

of luck. The ball comes back, McGregor tries to react. Ball to

Shawcross. A little delay. We could see it being a goal. It wasn't given

straight away but thankfully the officials got that right. When we

were looking at that earlier you said to Les, "In Peter Crouch's

situation you would have hit that." You said, "I might have played in

Peter Odemwingie." Really, you would have hit it? I was trying to be

kind. I thought he could have slid it to him. I would have hit it. He

is going to bring in Michael Dawson from Spurs, is Steve Bruce. He has a

very British core to that squad now, hasn't he? He has. If he does bring

Michael in, then you have Jake Livermore, Tom Huddlestone and

Michael Dawson going in. They have a real, good core of British players

and Michael is a fantastic professional. Not only a good player

but a great, great professional. He is someone that will be great to

have in that squad. They will need numbers if they are going to go

places in the Europia league. They have a first leg deficit. It takes

its toll in the season. You will know from your experience playing in

Europe last season. You need depth of squad. There is no question. I'm

sure they will enjoy the European campaign. They have deserved this

one. Here are a few things for us top point you towards. You might

have noticed that match the of the day turned 50 this weekend. If you

missed Friday night's documentary this weekend, there is another

chance to watch it, it follow this show. Slightly later if you are in

Scotland and loads more football on Wednesday night. The League Cup Show

featuring the best of the second-round action including the

MKDons and Manchester United tie. Now time for the rest of the action

and we start although Goodison park to see Arsenal's fightback against

Everton. Baines, Barry. Lovely ball in.

Lukaku depot the call to leave T good job he did. He was flying in to

score. -- Lukaku got the call to leave it. It is a confident fullback

that calls a man scoring goals to leave it alone. He got the call.

Everton 1, Arsenal 0. Lukaku has beaten chambers. They are

in the middle for it. Naismith, easy. Brilliant goal. Too easy from

an Arsenal point of view but beautifully-worked by Everton.

Let's look in the middle to see where Naismith is when the ball is

played. He looks a fraction offside. That's what Arsene Wenger will talk

about. Wenger already having words there with Michael Oliver.

He has got it through. Finally Arsenal have it in. Guess who? Aaron

Ramsey the right player in the right place again. Now we might have a

finish to this game. It certainly isn't finished yet. And there is

noise again from the Arsenal section. Ramsey has taken the wrong

option there. Debuchy was outside him. The attack will keep going with

Monreal. Oh, it is in. Olivier Giroud has scored.

Everton 2, Arsenal 2. Everton fans come to terms with what they have

seen over the last 12 minutes. They have seen their team throw the game

away. It is the start of Garry Monk's first-ever season in charge

as a manager. A good first-time ball. Sigurdsson has managed to

fined Dyer. He goes alone and scores. His 100 Premier League

appearance and he celebrates with a goal.

Heaton got something on it but not enough.

Right across the face of the goal there and almost in by Jutkiewicz.

The defeat is Burnley's. Once again, the newly-promoted side will have

learnt another harsh lesson. There is a weight of expectancy on

his player's shoulders for the first home game of the season. Ward-Prowse

with a free kick. Bending it around the wall. Oh, a good effort. A

really good effort. It Forster clawing there. Oh, it clipped the

outside of the post. Brilliantly done there. Forster, an enormous

giant there, spreading himself in front of him.

That's a good ball. Knew gent there to the right-hand side. He is on

side. It is David Nugent who is through. Courtois saves. Oh, what a

chance for Leicester City to take the lead and Courtois on his home

debut makes the save. Definitely onside, knew gent, here. Really good

save by the Chelsea keeper. -- Nugent.

A great ball into Ivanovic. Can he get it in? Yes, he can. Deagoe

Costa. Right man in the right place in the nick of time -- Diego.

He makes it two in less than two games for Chelsea. He kept his

composure, kept his feet. Found the back of the Leicester net.

Schmeichel. Eden Hazard get Roman Abramovich and Stamford Bridge as a

whole out of their seats. It was deflected off Morgan. And here comes

Didier Drogba to a rapturous ovation. How happy is the? He

brought him back. Stamford Bridge rises as one for Didier Drogba.

Didier Drogba back for Chelsea. Let's concentrate on Diego Costa,

two shots and two goals. Burnley and Leicester are good sides and he has

had a good start, even though Leicester put up a good showing

yesterday. Is he a 20 goal season striker? I am not sure. Strikers

take a bit of time to adapt to the Premier League, but he has got off

to a great start. As far as Arsenal are concerned, it is the first time

they have come from two down at home since 2011. It is an important

message to send out. I thought they were good value for the draw. I

thought in the last half they dominated the game. Everton deserved

to be two goals up, even though the second shouldn't have counted. It

was a great game of football. A draw on the day was a good result for

Arsenal. Maybe he has brought Sanchez in it might take a while for

him to find the best role and the best formation for him. He is a

goal-scorer but he likes to drop off deep. It is important Ramsay gets

into score the goals. The rest of Saturday's action for you now and it

is brought to you by Barry Davies and John Watson. A free kick to

Villa and Fabian Delph goes away. And that was curling. He did not

miss by much. Aston Villa at the moment cannot get hold of it. It is

a new combination up front for Newcastle. It is a great chance and

a great save. Brad Guzan, no wonder they think so highly of him here.

Because DeJong nearly marked his debut with a winning goal. As the

overrun this? Mike Dean is going to his pocket. Two yellows make a red,

so Mike Williamson has to go. Williamson is off. Newcastle have to

end this game in stoppage time with ten men. It is not easy for anybody.

People are speculating on who might come. It is possibly the most

difficult for that man. Zarate. The man from Argentina opens

the scoring and is he please? He had a crap. That is the way to do it. He

placed it quite beautifully. Marouane Chamakh, oh, yes, what a

clean strike. Suddenly it is a very different place. It was dispatched

with aplomb by Marouane Chamakh. That is number three and that is a

gift for Carlton Cole. This was a bit of a howler from Crystal

Palace's point of view. Carlton Cole to his credit did not stand on

ceremony. He is going to have a difficult week ahead.

There was a warm nostalgia with Barry Davies there. Is there also a

bit of West Ham playing the West Ham way now? I certainly hope so. They

would be ending the tradition of the club. They were unlucky enough not

to get something against Tottenham. But they got their season up and

running. That is the soft question out of the way. Every time you are

on this show you are a favourite for a managerial vacancy. Last time it

was Norwich. Do I stick a fiver on it? I have nothing to tell you

really. There has been no communication. I do not know where

the information is coming from. At the minute there has been no

communication. Are you all right? They were speaking to meet the other

day. RU surprised Tim Shaw pulled him out of the race -- pulled

himself out of the race? No. Stop being cheeky. He said he had the

initial meeting at the time he felt it was going to Malky Mackay so he

himself out of the way. Does it surprise you when the names that are

linked might play different types of football? I am not singling out

Crystal Palace, but does is single out if they have a certain policy of

the way they want to react? The sooner they get an appointment the

better. At the moment they are a bit detached and they need the manager

as soon as possible. Not many teams have a philosophy. Different

managers come in, especially with the rate of managers' exit these

days, it is very difficult for them to set up a philosophy. Swansea are

probably the only ones who have a philosophy. This is a reminder of

the day's headline makers. Emanuel added by York. Harry

Redknapp beaten on his first return to the lane.

How I down to ten inside 14 minutes. It is Ryan Shawcross. Steve

Bruce's ten men denied by that equaliser six and a half minutes

from time. Manchester United take the lead. It

is against the run of play. Powered in by Jack Rodwell. Louis van Gaal

has his first point on the board as Manchester United manager.

So this is how the table looks after just two games.

Tottenham's resounding victory sees them knock Chelsea off the top

Hull remain unbeaten and are up to fifth, while Manchester City

QPR prop up the table still awaiting their first point.

Stoke have won after their late equaliser, while Sunderland sits

We went retro at Selhurst Park yesterday. Dispatched with aplomb.

Gerry Francis got into the spirit of things by recreating the 70s hairdo.

Roy Keane took his frustration out on Paul Lambert. You try and tell

him. Loads of people are doing the ice bucket challenge. But Daniel

Levy was nominated. That is it for another show. Neal is probably going

to punch less. Mario Balotelli hasn't completed his

Liverpool signing in time to face Manchester City tomorrow night, but

that should be finalised tomorrow. So we might have to wait until next

weekend to say welcome back to a # Guess who is back again. I can

categorically tell you I cannot speak a word about it.
