:01:10. > :01:13.What a goal! They are believing the title is coming closer and closer!
:01:14. > :01:17.What about that for a finish from Harry Kane?
:01:18. > :01:23.Brilliant goal! Morrissey of Argentina touches the turf in
:01:24. > :01:28.frustration. -- Mauricio Pochettino. Closing in on the most unlikely
:01:29. > :01:30.Premier league title when of all time.
:01:31. > :01:32.There is only one chance in life, this is our chance.
:01:33. > :01:35.Leicester, Spurs and the most unlikely title race for a generation
:01:36. > :01:40.Plus we'll bring you Liverpool against Stoke City, shine a light
:01:41. > :01:46.on the suffering of Aston Villa fans, and show
:01:47. > :01:49.you Saturday's goals - all in the company of Tim Sherwood
:01:50. > :01:52.We begin with Sunderland against Leicester City,
:01:53. > :01:54.who started the day seven points clear of Tottenham at the top.
:01:55. > :01:59.A match with a huge bearing at both ends of the table.
:02:00. > :02:06.When the sides met on the opening day of the season, Leicester were
:02:07. > :02:12.5000-1 to win the title, step forward but Foxes.
:02:13. > :02:16.It is 2-0! And so began the most astonishing run of form in MLB
:02:17. > :02:19.history. Wonderful skill! Their opponents
:02:20. > :02:24.have flirted with relegation. All seasons and with one win since
:02:25. > :02:29.January, Sam Allardyce believes his side could need divine intervention.
:02:30. > :02:34.I merely revival may be a thing of the pass Leicester but it is all
:02:35. > :02:39.Sunderland can dream. At the of light, Steve Wilson.
:02:40. > :02:42.It is about the performance and insurance. And the spring is all
:02:43. > :02:47.about winning. insurance. And the spring is all
:02:48. > :02:54.counts now. Four male for Leicester and they will be champions. -- four
:02:55. > :03:01.more. A win for Sunderland and they will be one point hi and Norwich
:03:02. > :03:06.with a game in hand. Sunderland have had a decent week training on the
:03:07. > :03:10.beach and seeing their results go their way yesterday. Sam Allardyce
:03:11. > :03:14.picked an unchanged side and if they do win, Aston Villa will be
:03:15. > :03:21.relegated. Leicester have conceded only seven goals in the last 15
:03:22. > :03:24.games, winning five of the last 61-0. Unchanged for the fifth game
:03:25. > :03:29.winning. Incredible to think the points they got here last made
:03:30. > :03:35.completed their great escape against relegation. -- last May. Fascinating
:03:36. > :03:42.game, this is. So crucial for both sides. A real big match feel outside
:03:43. > :03:53.the stadium. In the hours leading up to kick off. Not many empty seats
:03:54. > :03:58.inside. Vardy. Drinkwater did well, this is Jamie Vardy.
:03:59. > :04:06.inside. Vardy. Drinkwater did well, Vardy looking for the return. Kept
:04:07. > :04:12.out by Younes Kaboul, a corner for Leicester. Sometimes, it only takes
:04:13. > :04:19.two. Vardy, Shinji Okazaki. Shinji Okazaki looking for his partner,
:04:20. > :04:23.well kept out by Younes Kaboul. A corner for Christian Fuchs. Free
:04:24. > :04:28.header. Wes Morgan. Almost a repeat of their winning goal against
:04:29. > :04:36.Southampton last weekend. The same players, different circumstances,
:04:37. > :04:41.different outcome. Jermaine Defoe. Filed by Robert Huth, Sunderland
:04:42. > :04:52.free kick. Mistimed by Robert Huth, but no card. The set piece, Wahbi
:04:53. > :05:00.Khazri. Back across goal. The firm crowded out by a combination of
:05:01. > :05:09.Drinkwater and Christian Fuchs. That is a good ball, Khazri! Lovely run,
:05:10. > :05:19.really well played by Yann M'Vila, lovely delivery by Yann M'Vila, just
:05:20. > :05:24.could not quite reach it. Jan Kirschoff dispossessed by Marc
:05:25. > :05:30.Albrighton. Play on, says the referee, good advantage played,
:05:31. > :05:34.looking for Shinji Okazaki. The foot of yet Lynn was high, but Shinji
:05:35. > :05:39.looking for Shinji Okazaki. The foot Okazaki still down. There was
:05:40. > :05:43.clearly a foul on Marc Albrighton, but a good ball. He always has his
:05:44. > :05:51.eyes fixed on the ball. It is but a good ball. He always has his
:05:52. > :05:59.clumsy, he did not intend it but it is certainly clumsy. Jan Kirschoff,
:06:00. > :06:05.that is good. Khazri for Sunderland. is certainly clumsy. Jan Kirschoff,
:06:06. > :06:11.Held up but not dispossessed by N'Golo Kante. Can he pull it back?
:06:12. > :06:17.Sunderland claiming handball, not getting it. Robert Huth diving in
:06:18. > :06:24.and it has hit his hand, he has got lucky. There may come a time when
:06:25. > :06:30.the rules become very simple. And if the ball hits harmed in the penalty
:06:31. > :06:37.area, you give it. A good time to be a penalty taker if that rule comes
:06:38. > :06:40.in. And Marc Albrighton has gone down and Leicester have been awarded
:06:41. > :06:45.a free kick, they might have preferred to carry on. Almost into
:06:46. > :06:52.added time at the end of this half, a list free kick. Now Marc
:06:53. > :07:00.Albrighton got a head on it. Vardy, Riyad Mahrez, great feet, good block
:07:01. > :07:04.by Kaboul. Most appealing. Wahbi Khazri with him but not a good ball
:07:05. > :07:10.from Jermaine Defoe and suddenly the game is opening up at the end of the
:07:11. > :07:12.half. Shinji Okazaki, lovely turn. And the challenge came in on Shinji
:07:13. > :07:19.Okazaki who lost his putting and went over. That was Mahrez, rocked
:07:20. > :07:22.by Kaboul. Turning his back on it and his arm is moving in the
:07:23. > :07:23.direction of the ball again, you would appeal if you were the
:07:24. > :07:35.striker. This is the phone. would appeal if you were the
:07:36. > :07:37.shooting chance, could save by Schmeichel. Good
:07:38. > :07:40.shooting chance, could save by Schmeichel, the first he has had
:07:41. > :07:44.shooting chance, could save by make. And the deflection from Morgan
:07:45. > :07:53.made it difficult for Kasper Schmeichel. Khazri, getting away
:07:54. > :07:57.from Simpson, finding Jermaine Defoe. Jermaine Defoe looking for
:07:58. > :08:05.the half a yard to get a shot away, Fabio Borini. That was close. He is
:08:06. > :08:12.well capable of the spectacular, Fabio Borini. He got it out from
:08:13. > :08:21.under his feet and he caught it. This is Khazri. Drinkwater winning
:08:22. > :08:31.the ball back and this is Vardy, and This is Khazri. Drinkwater winning
:08:32. > :08:35.ends up in the gloves of Vito Mannone. They carved through
:08:36. > :08:39.Sunderland and they have not done it much, Sunderland -- Leicester.
:08:40. > :08:41.Drinkwater did well, it was a fight to win possession, Vardy into his
:08:42. > :08:50.path and defended well retreating Sunderland defender and
:08:51. > :08:54.the goalkeeper Vito Mannone. The sparring goes on without anybody
:08:55. > :09:02.really landing a punch. Drinkwater. That is over the top for Vardy the
:09:03. > :09:06.chase, the goalkeeper thought about coming and Vardy scores for
:09:07. > :09:10.Leicester. Jamie Vardy scores for Leicester City and they could be
:09:11. > :09:16.template is clear at the top of the table by the time Todd kicked off.
:09:17. > :09:23.15 macro over the top catches Sunderland goal -- one over the top
:09:24. > :09:28.catches Sunderland. The goalkeeper thought about coming and he started
:09:29. > :09:36.backpedalling. There was no coming back once Jamie Vardy had got in
:09:37. > :09:40.behind Younes Kaboul. That is a great finish but the goalkeeper was
:09:41. > :09:47.caught in two minds and Jamie Vardy made him pay. A huge goal for
:09:48. > :09:50.Leicester and a huge goal for Vardy. Massive celebrations and what an
:09:51. > :09:56.enormous lead Leicester City might have at the top of the Premier
:09:57. > :10:03.League table when the final whistle goes at the Stadium Of Light. Vardy
:10:04. > :10:16.did what Vardy does. 1-0 Leicester is becoming a familiar tale.
:10:17. > :10:21.Jack Rodwell, Patrick van Aanholt. Jack Rodwell, great chance, he has
:10:22. > :10:25.missed it! They have been begging and praying, desperate for a chance
:10:26. > :10:30.like that, Sunderland. It fell to Jack Rodwell and he lifted it over
:10:31. > :10:32.the bar. Chances do not come much better than that. The goal was
:10:33. > :10:56.gaping for him. Oh, dear! Jan Kirschoff a game, no foul. He
:10:57. > :11:04.has got to give it to Leonardo Ulloa, he has. Good save by Vito
:11:05. > :11:09.Mannone. Leonardo Ulloa. N'Golo Kante. Across the face of goal,
:11:10. > :11:17.nobody there. This could be a big save. N'Golo Kante did the right
:11:18. > :11:19.thing and he gave it to Ulloa. Time is against Sunderland. Carrow Road
:11:20. > :11:27.next weekend is going to be is against Sunderland. Carrow Road
:11:28. > :11:36.absolutely vital. Five added minutes. That has given Sunderland
:11:37. > :11:45.fans some Hearts. Good stuff. Really good stuff, Drinkwater here. Good
:11:46. > :11:49.save by Vito Mannone to deny Vardy a second. Great football by Leicester.
:11:50. > :11:59.They have had the chance to put this game to bed. This is Ulloa.
:12:00. > :12:05.Christian Fuchs looking for Vardy, who is onside. This is Daniel
:12:06. > :12:09.Amartey and he can finish it. Vito Mannone a game, and he seems to be a
:12:10. > :12:18.one-man barrier between Leicester and a second goal. Trouble here
:12:19. > :12:23.because Jamie Vardy has got it and he has got through the challenge.
:12:24. > :12:32.Mannone has come out and Vardy makes it 2-0! Job done today! And almost
:12:33. > :12:37.for the season! 21 goals this time for Jamie Vardy, two today, and the
:12:38. > :12:45.very most Leicester City will need to win the Premier league title is
:12:46. > :12:57.nine more points. Jamie Vardy makes it two. Strength and pace. And
:12:58. > :13:02.coolness. Sunderland zero, Claudio Ranieri's Leicester two. They are so
:13:03. > :13:08.close now, they can almost smell the silver polish. And that is the
:13:09. > :13:13.whistle. Touching distance for Claudio Ranieri and Leicester City.
:13:14. > :13:23.Another clean sheet. Another three points. Three more wins. That is the
:13:24. > :13:28.most it will take. Claudio Ranieri just seems to have woken up to the
:13:29. > :13:36.emotion of what this remarkable team is doing. The manager, almost in
:13:37. > :13:41.tears. Sunderland zero, Leicester City two.
:13:42. > :13:45.It looked like you were just a little bit emotional. Yes, of
:13:46. > :13:51.course! You make of this job for the emotion I feel inside. But it is
:13:52. > :13:57.difficult for me to tell which kind of emotion I have inside. Were you
:13:58. > :14:00.getting worried when it was 1-0 and Mannone kept making save after save?
:14:01. > :14:08.Unbelievable! At one ways positive and I said, next action. -- I am
:14:09. > :14:11.always. I cannot accept how we conceded the first goal, we showed
:14:12. > :14:17.the players are weak and they copied it no problem. Just one ball over
:14:18. > :14:22.the top and the centre-half and the goalkeeper not coping with that was
:14:23. > :14:27.the reason we lost today. And at the other end, when Jack Rodwell gets
:14:28. > :14:32.the chance to put was back in the game, he misses, they score, they
:14:33. > :14:35.win, we do not, they stay top and we stay in the bottom three.
:14:36. > :14:39.We have to go on, we are good enough to win at Norwich but we have to be
:14:40. > :14:43.ready for this game and hopefully we managed to get a win. We have got
:14:44. > :14:48.one game behind so it is still in our hands. We have to win it now. If
:14:49. > :14:50.Norwich win it, they go so far away from us and I think they are the
:14:51. > :15:01.less team we can catch now. It's a step closer to winning the
:15:02. > :15:05.league, you don't know what can happen in this league. It's three
:15:06. > :15:08.more points in the right direction. We'll enjoy this for the rest of the
:15:09. > :15:13.day and get back on the training field to focus on next week. You
:15:14. > :15:16.said in December it was a dream, in January maybe it's still a dream,
:15:17. > :15:23.but we are unable now and you are ten points clear. This dream is
:15:24. > :15:27.becoming very real. It could be, but we don't achieve anything yet, and
:15:28. > :15:34.we have to stay calm, be focused, be strong, be solid, keep going. They
:15:35. > :15:38.have achieved a top four finish, that's one thing that you can put in
:15:39. > :15:42.the bag. Five wins, five clean sheets, five games to go. None of us
:15:43. > :15:45.thought we would ever see in this modern era of football somebody like
:15:46. > :15:48.Leicester, an interloper into the moneyed elite, doing what they are
:15:49. > :15:54.doing. We've pinch ourselves every week but we are still here and this
:15:55. > :15:57.is this far away from being a reality? It's great, it's great for
:15:58. > :16:03.football, to realise that it's not just the guys with the muscle, with
:16:04. > :16:07.the finances, it's about teamwork, ethic, willing to work for each
:16:08. > :16:11.other, got a good technical side as well, got guys who can score goals,
:16:12. > :16:15.who are coming out of lower league football. It's an absolutely
:16:16. > :16:18.fascinating story and something I said when Blackburn won the league
:16:19. > :16:23.all those years ago it would never happen again. It's happening. Two
:16:24. > :16:28.fold now, it's an extraordinary story at Leicester. You sense in the
:16:29. > :16:33.last few weeks, people daring to believe, writing articles, talking
:16:34. > :16:37.about it, blogging, why, how, how has this happened? How has it
:16:38. > :16:41.happened? Does it mean it can happen to anyone? It gives the belief it
:16:42. > :16:45.can happen to every -- anyone and it is a smack in the space to the
:16:46. > :16:49.moneybags in the game. You can pick out Bard Riyad Mahrez but it's a
:16:50. > :16:55.team effort, from the substitutes that are involved and involved week
:16:56. > :16:59.in, week out, to the coaching staff and it's a big effort from everyone
:17:00. > :17:04.and it's refreshing to see. The first key moment of the
:17:05. > :17:06.and it's refreshing to see. The although he hasn't done for a
:17:07. > :17:09.and it's refreshing to see. The matches, for six games for
:17:10. > :17:10.Leicester. Look at Lee Cattermole, he rushes in, he's fortunate not
:17:11. > :17:15.Leicester. Look at Lee Cattermole, nick that but look at body -- Jamie
:17:16. > :17:21.Barton Vardy's body shape. He's ready for it. -- Jamie Vardy's body
:17:22. > :17:25.shape. Vardy takes it magnificently well. The pass from Drinkwater is
:17:26. > :17:30.inch perfect, the weight of the pass. First touch excellent. Opens
:17:31. > :17:34.up his body. We know where it's going, Mannone can't stop it. Sam is
:17:35. > :17:37.bitterly disappointed with that but for Leicester it's nothing more than
:17:38. > :17:42.you expect. Look at the mixed emotions, some in the background,
:17:43. > :17:45.look at the substitute, Demarai Gray, it's a magnificent team
:17:46. > :17:51.effort. It's not just about the 11 players who play. It doesn't, they
:17:52. > :17:54.have had the same starting XI for 13 matches, Ronnie Ari was the Tinker
:17:55. > :18:01.man at Chelsea. It's the subs you want to look at and applaud today.
:18:02. > :18:03.Without doubt, the last 13 games, the same 11 have started, guys like
:18:04. > :18:08.Leonardo Ulloa who affect it the same 11 have started, guys like
:18:09. > :18:11.time. His work ethic to come on, he is not throwing out his dummy or
:18:12. > :18:15.stalking, he wants to work for the team and get them over the line
:18:16. > :18:19.because invariably they are leading when he comes on. He changes a
:18:20. > :18:23.dimensional. Vardy needs a rest but he is still willing to stretch
:18:24. > :18:26.teams, run into the gaps in the channel areas. He's still got the
:18:27. > :18:31.presence of mind to pick out Kante who is running for that and Demarai
:18:32. > :18:31.Gray, I watched him play for Birmingham, technically very good
:18:32. > :18:35.but hearing he is willing to Birmingham, technically very good
:18:36. > :18:37.dirty work, willing to go in the left-back spot and TrackBack
:18:38. > :18:40.dirty work, willing to go in the protects the football, has presence
:18:41. > :18:52.of mind to give it to Vardy protects the football, has presence
:18:53. > :18:54.wants the rest here, but all he is saying
:18:55. > :18:56.wants the rest here, but all he is clock down, please, can you get a
:18:57. > :19:03.corner? Yes, he can, clock down, please, can you get a
:19:04. > :19:10.ability, tracks that like it's a bag of cement out of the sky. Vardy does
:19:11. > :19:13.what he does best and tucked it away. Game over. 2-0. Then they can
:19:14. > :19:17.breathe easily and enjoy the last minute or two. Wonderful scenes at
:19:18. > :19:21.the end of the game, from both sides, some of the Leicester players
:19:22. > :19:24.saying how great it was to see the Sunderland fans applauding them as
:19:25. > :19:28.well. They haven't conceded a goal for eight hours and ten minutes,
:19:29. > :19:33.Leicester, but they don't want to protect, they don't want to protect
:19:34. > :19:38.the lead, they keep playing and going for it, not just grinding out
:19:39. > :19:41.results. That's right, the best way to defend is to keep possession in
:19:42. > :19:44.the final third of the opposing team and that's what they do here. It's
:19:45. > :19:48.absolutely brilliant play. If you look at this, this is a team in
:19:49. > :19:55.Barcelona kit, we are raving look at this, this is a team in
:19:56. > :20:00.this because... You were eulogising. -- eulogising. Outstanding, a change
:20:01. > :20:05.up there, the tempo with Drinkwater. You can see this in opposed passing
:20:06. > :20:07.drills up and down the country, a bit of passing, a bit of possession,
:20:08. > :20:12.keep the ball, a little bit tired bit of passing, a bit of possession,
:20:13. > :20:16.the middle, Vardy, great awareness, third man run absolutely brilliant
:20:17. > :20:21.play and the only thing missing is a finish that we expect from Vardy.
:20:22. > :20:24.Look at the reactions of the players, Amartey is sprinting like
:20:25. > :20:31.an athlete. They are trying to get back in. They are all in position
:20:32. > :20:33.and sets, it's -- impossible for Sunderland. The work ethic and will
:20:34. > :20:37.to win in this side is second to none and that's why they are top of
:20:38. > :20:44.the league. Is nothing to do with ability, its heart and wanting to
:20:45. > :20:46.win. Desire. In the first half with respect to Sunderland did you said
:20:47. > :20:53.you couldn't see which team was fighting for the title and which was
:20:54. > :20:57.fighting for their life. Sam has a lot of positives to take from that
:20:58. > :21:02.Sunderland performance, not so much the scoreline but look at the setup,
:21:03. > :21:05.there were a 4-14- one, with Cattermole in the middle and
:21:06. > :21:09.Jermaine upfront. They were so disciplined, the workrate was really
:21:10. > :21:14.good, they matched Leicester very, very well early doors. You see the
:21:15. > :21:17.ball, 50-50 balls that drop down there, they are combated, get
:21:18. > :21:22.amongst it, there is no shrinking violet. They are up for it. They
:21:23. > :21:25.didn't lose because they were scared or could not play because of the
:21:26. > :21:29.pressure of being in the relegation zone, they lost because they were
:21:30. > :21:31.not good enough, that's all. On the front foot, whereof the cheeky
:21:32. > :21:37.little corner by Leicester, great block, this is the problem though.
:21:38. > :21:40.They have so many men behind the ball there is no outlet. They clear
:21:41. > :21:44.the ball and it's coming straight back at them. That's what you can't
:21:45. > :21:48.afford to do. They did create one or two chances, this is the best one,
:21:49. > :21:52.Jack Rodwell. It will be disappointed he didn't score that.
:21:53. > :21:56.At least work the keeper, fluffed his lines a bit but they will live
:21:57. > :22:00.to fight another day and if they show that workrate and belief in
:22:01. > :22:01.each other and belief in Big Sam, they will get wins. Thank you for
:22:02. > :22:05.the moment. Next to White Hart Lane
:22:06. > :22:17.for second-placed Tottenham Time is fast running out for
:22:18. > :22:22.Tottenham's title charge, little room for error after their draw at
:22:23. > :22:26.Anfield. Harry Kane may have broken the club's goal record that day but
:22:27. > :22:30.he was only seven when Tottenham last beat Manchester United at White
:22:31. > :22:34.Hart Lane. While Spurs harbour hopes of a first Premier League title,
:22:35. > :22:38.Louis van Gaal's army could fail to reach the Champions League for the
:22:39. > :22:42.second time in three years. Almost as unthinkable as this year's title
:22:43. > :22:46.race. Guy Mowbray is your commentator.
:22:47. > :22:52.Every week between now and the final day, Spurs play after Leicester, but
:22:53. > :22:56.it might only be a case of playing catch-up for a while as games go by
:22:57. > :23:02.without the chance to narrow the gap. Spurs have to win and the team
:23:03. > :23:05.that will try shows two changes from the one that draw Liverpool last
:23:06. > :23:09.weekend. Lamela respect to take over from Son Heung-min and there is a
:23:10. > :23:12.return for Vertonghen. It's the defender's first game since the
:23:13. > :23:16.injury in January and it represents rough look on Kevin Wimmer, who
:23:17. > :23:20.makes way having barely put a foot wrong in the Belgian's absence.
:23:21. > :23:25.There's one change for United, with a huge show of faith displayed in
:23:26. > :23:28.18-year-old Tom -- Tim Fosu-Mensah, who starts for the second time and
:23:29. > :23:35.takes the place of Darmian. The biggest change has been in pre-match
:23:36. > :23:40.preparations. United got stuck in traffic, there was a half-hour
:23:41. > :23:42.preparations. United got stuck in to kick-off. This game could show
:23:43. > :23:49.just how things have changed for Spurs. In years gone by, this has
:23:50. > :23:54.meant a draw or an away win, Manchester United unbeaten in their
:23:55. > :23:59.last 14 visits to White Hart Lane. Fosu-Mensah, a neat exchange with
:24:00. > :24:05.Juan Mata. Fosu-Mensah has plenty of power and pace. He had the
:24:06. > :24:10.confidence to go for goal and get a deflection on the shot. He's a
:24:11. > :24:13.really exciting prospect, Fosu-Mensah, a teenager from
:24:14. > :24:18.Amsterdam. He could play anywhere across the back and in midfield as
:24:19. > :24:30.well. Reportedly offered a new ?5.5 million per year deal to stay at
:24:31. > :24:35.Spurs. The Argentinian. -- Kane holds on to long for that option and
:24:36. > :24:39.squeezes it into Lamela. Look at the shirt fabric being stretched as
:24:40. > :24:46.Smalling gets a grip. Rose runs into Smalling. Schneiderlin in Lamela's
:24:47. > :24:51.way. Lamela with the clip in, De Gea has lost. Harry Kane, a great
:24:52. > :25:01.tackle, Fosu-Mensah. Takes the goal away from Harry Kane and Tottenham.
:25:02. > :25:06.Into Lamela, oh my goodness me. He had to score. He just had to
:25:07. > :25:10.Into Lamela, oh my goodness me. He that into the net. Manchester United
:25:11. > :25:17.were looking wide, they were expecting the flag to be raised.
:25:18. > :25:21.Rightly, it stayed down. Incredibly, Lamela misses the target. Some Spurs
:25:22. > :25:28.fans were already celebrating the goal to be. It wasn't to be. It's
:25:29. > :25:32.all very well scoring goals in the Europa League, headers from four
:25:33. > :25:39.yards and a title race carry a bit more weight.
:25:40. > :25:50.Walker inside Marcos Rojo. Another terrific tackle. Fosu-Mensah on the
:25:51. > :25:52.scene again. Kyle Walker might feel that he could and maybe should have
:25:53. > :25:56.given Spurs the that he could and maybe should have
:25:57. > :26:01.Blistering pace from the England fullback. It was a tentative toe
:26:02. > :26:05.poke as Fosu-Mensah came across to block the shot, such as it was.
:26:06. > :26:07.Maybe thought about going to ground with the awkward looking attempt to
:26:08. > :26:17.dispossess him from Marcos Rojo. Kane manages to bundle his way past
:26:18. > :26:21.Smalling, he's going to have to do it again. Smalling got a little too
:26:22. > :26:26.close. A Spurs free kick. It's been a really good duel to watch between
:26:27. > :26:29.the two England squad players. Harry Kane versus Chris Smalling, I'm sure
:26:30. > :26:35.Roy Hodgson will be enjoying that one as much as anyone. Kane has won
:26:36. > :26:39.that round, there would be too many. There might be an opportunity for
:26:40. > :26:44.Spurs from the free kick. Eriksen in. Dyer, it was on for him, it's a
:26:45. > :26:47.goal kick, that's what Spurs are complaining about. They will be
:26:48. > :26:51.thinking it should have been a corner, many will think it should
:26:52. > :26:56.have been a goal. It came off the knee of Martial. Dyer doesn't touch
:26:57. > :26:59.it. It is an interesting half-time change because from the start it
:27:00. > :27:05.looks like a straight swap, Ashley Young playing as a central striker,
:27:06. > :27:10.Marty stays wide. I cannot recall having seen Young play in that sort
:27:11. > :27:15.of position many times before -- Martial wide. Incomes Fosu-Mensah.
:27:16. > :27:22.But it well again. Not a lot of love lost between Tim Fosu-Mensah man
:27:23. > :27:25.Dele Alli, I tell you that, Alli giving him the Jews and not
:27:26. > :27:32.appreciating the ferocity of his challenges. Martial -- Alli giving
:27:33. > :27:37.him nudges armour and not appreciating the ferocity of his
:27:38. > :27:40.challenges. A huge saved by the Spurs captain, a brilliant running
:27:41. > :27:44.between Walker and Dyer. A drop of the shoulder to get away from the
:27:45. > :27:48.Alderweireld challenge, then he pinged it straight against Lloris,
:27:49. > :27:55.and he knows, he knows that is United's best chance of the game.
:27:56. > :27:59.Pencil rather than pen for United's manager. He might be plotting a
:28:00. > :28:03.different route home, after the problems they had getting here.
:28:04. > :28:08.Smalling and Blind go for it together. Lamela has hooked it
:28:09. > :28:14.between his feet. Kane dig it out for Eriksen. In towards Dele Alli.
:28:15. > :28:24.Spurs hit the net. White Hart Lane erupts.
:28:25. > :28:32.There's some real scrapping going on here. Lamela kept it as long as he
:28:33. > :28:33.could. Kane scooped it out. Eriksen had one look
:28:34. > :28:41.could. Kane scooped it out. Eriksen just right for Dele Alli. Quiet in
:28:42. > :28:45.the game so far, he has just made White Hart Lane the loudest it has
:28:46. > :28:48.been all day. A massive goal, really, really huge. It could be the
:28:49. > :28:54.goal that keeps the title race going. That is what they think about
:28:55. > :29:03.it on the Spurs bench. Out comes the frustration. The Tottenham side
:29:04. > :29:09.score against Manchester United for the first time. Kane court late by
:29:10. > :29:14.Darmian. Darmian into the book, not long after coming on. It's a wild
:29:15. > :29:18.swing. Kane has beaten him to it, right boot to knee, Lamela on
:29:19. > :29:20.swing. Kane has beaten him to it, ball. No dummy runs about this one.
:29:21. > :29:28.It straight in from Lamela. Alderweireld! 2-0, Tottenham. Two
:29:29. > :29:31.quickfire Tottenham goals. To take the game away from Manchester
:29:32. > :29:36.United, and to the game away from Manchester
:29:37. > :29:45.the title to at least another week longer. Great delivery, perfect from
:29:46. > :29:49.Lamela. Toby Alderweireld stopped is run and timed the jump beautifully.
:29:50. > :29:55.What about the direction as well? Using the pace and the spin. De Gea
:29:56. > :29:57.is rooted. Everybody else in White Hart Lane is on their feet. That has
:29:58. > :30:04.settled the nerves. Hart Lane is on their feet. That has
:30:05. > :30:06.those jumping for joy Spurs supporters who believe a
:30:07. > :30:08.those jumping for joy Spurs it might be V8 -- it might be their
:30:09. > :30:28.year. His first half mess is long
:30:29. > :30:31.forgotten, Lamela took that exquisitely. Three goals in six
:30:32. > :30:40.minutes that have absolutely done for Manchester United. Well put in
:30:41. > :30:43.by Rose. What about that for a finish? So sweetly hit by the
:30:44. > :30:49.Argentinian. He is into double figures of goals this season and
:30:50. > :30:57.Spurs in Dreamland, they will not close the gap on Mr today but they
:30:58. > :31:01.will be keeping it interesting. 3-0. -- Leicester. Harry Kane. Darmian
:31:02. > :31:12.blocked. Just an extra one -- Leicester. Harry Kane. Darmian
:31:13. > :31:15.tally. Spurs on their way to beating Manchester United here for the first
:31:16. > :31:17.time since May 2,000 and one. And this game has been one but they are
:31:18. > :31:25.going for more, Spurs. this game has been one but they are
:31:26. > :31:32.Harry Kane, tipped over the top by De Gea. That is all that is missing
:31:33. > :31:37.from Spurs, a Harry Kane goal, looking to score for the fifth
:31:38. > :31:41.Premier league game in a row. What a rotten day for Louis van Gaal, a
:31:42. > :31:45.late arrival and imagine his mood trying to get through the London
:31:46. > :31:48.traffic. He might have sensed it would not be their day. Dembele,
:31:49. > :31:56.Dele Alli. On goal. De would not be their day. Dembele,
:31:57. > :32:03.way. Dele Alli, was Darmian clumsy? No, the referee thinks he has gone
:32:04. > :32:05.looking for that and Dele Alli trying to get a penalty. Great work
:32:06. > :32:12.by Dembele initially with Dele Alli. trying to get a penalty. Great work
:32:13. > :32:17.His leg goes across into that of Darmian rather than the other way.
:32:18. > :32:22.Spurs knew what they had to do to stay seven points behind The
:32:23. > :32:26.Spurs knew what they had to do to but it is not quite as you were
:32:27. > :32:34.before the day began. All that Tottenham can do is keep on winning.
:32:35. > :32:41.3-0, again, a very good team like Manchester United, happy. Still
:32:42. > :32:48.fighting for the title. Seven points. We -- they were never
:32:49. > :32:53.going to make it easy and we knew the chances would come and they did
:32:54. > :32:57.late on. After that, after we got the second, we called it off.
:32:58. > :33:04.The first goal, I think we played a good away match until then with
:33:05. > :33:10.possibilities to score. The last big possibility was of Martial. And then
:33:11. > :33:13.there was a lack of communication in the centre of our defence
:33:14. > :33:17.there was a lack of communication in was petty. And within five minutes,
:33:18. > :33:21.the game is over and that cannot happen, I know that. But all right,
:33:22. > :33:26.it has happened and we have to cope with that. We are a very confident
:33:27. > :33:29.squad and we will not think about what happens at the end of the
:33:30. > :33:32.season, just focus on the next game and put that behind us today and if
:33:33. > :33:37.we do that, hopefully we will be good at the end of the season.
:33:38. > :33:43.So seven points the difference at the top. From Spurs to do what they
:33:44. > :33:48.did after hearing of Leicester's story at the Stadium Of Light shows
:33:49. > :33:52.great mental resolve. Spurs showed a difference in that department. With
:33:53. > :33:56.Leicester's Forum, they have put away Manchester City, out of it.
:33:57. > :34:02.After yesterday, they have put to bed Arsenal. Spurs going nowhere,
:34:03. > :34:06.they keep hanging on to their coat-tails. I would be interested to
:34:07. > :34:11.see if Leicester dropped three points and Tottenham do win, we will
:34:12. > :34:15.see about Leicester. I am talking about Tottenham but they deserve it
:34:16. > :34:19.because they are going nowhere, it is a fantastic run of form at the
:34:20. > :34:23.right time. He has rotated the squad throughout the season and has now a
:34:24. > :34:27.settled team. The team we saw today is possibly the team he should start
:34:28. > :34:33.with between now and the end of the season. Because that is their Cup
:34:34. > :34:42.Final team for me. We know players like Davis who can come in. They can
:34:43. > :34:46.do the job. Son. But Leicester, they are a fixed side and no need to
:34:47. > :34:49.rotate Tottenham. Limited number of games left, they are going in the
:34:50. > :34:54.right direction. I would not rule them out. It is in the hands of
:34:55. > :34:57.Leicester but Tottenham are right there.
:34:58. > :35:02.This is where it unravelled for Manchester United. When Fosu-Mensah
:35:03. > :35:07.comes off and this is really the big difference.
:35:08. > :35:13.It is unusual for me to go for a fullback being a winger but it was
:35:14. > :35:18.immense. He is alert to the danger and he saw the game well. If he does
:35:19. > :35:22.not get a cross from the left-back, that is a goal-scoring chance.
:35:23. > :35:27.Again, he loves a challenge. He leaves a bit on Dele Alli who does
:35:28. > :35:32.not like it, nothing much in that. His decision making all afternoon
:35:33. > :35:37.was superb. On his front foot, anticipating. He is not going to
:35:38. > :35:39.kick it out, keeps the ball and sets United on the attack. He
:35:40. > :35:43.kick it out, keeps the ball and sets want to take liberties here, he is
:35:44. > :35:48.the last man and that is what a last man should do, kick it out of play
:35:49. > :35:53.and defend the throw-in. He picked up an injury and this is what
:35:54. > :35:59.happened. Two minutes later, again, Darmian takes his place and if he
:36:00. > :36:03.has anything about him, he knows Dele Alli is in a goal-scoring
:36:04. > :36:08.position and stops the cross. He does not get close enough, Blind
:36:09. > :36:11.cannot get across, the cross goes on and what happens?
:36:12. > :36:19.Wonderful cross. Great vision and execution. It has been a quiet game
:36:20. > :36:19.for him but good 20th birthday present.
:36:20. > :36:27.More defensive problems for Manchester United.
:36:28. > :36:32.It is from the right back position again, Harry Kane going towards the
:36:33. > :36:38.sideline. Not going anywhere, it is a hasty challenge and he does not
:36:39. > :36:44.need to make that challenge. This is a cheap free kick. Around the box.
:36:45. > :36:50.Alderweireld was being marked by Fosu-Mensah. He could not get near
:36:51. > :36:56.him. Again, great bowl in. And that finish is sublime. Great technique.
:36:57. > :37:03.Did not want to try and put much behind it, just great control, night
:37:04. > :37:10.pass into the corner. 3-0 with an six minutes of Fosu-Mensah coming.
:37:11. > :37:18.The Manchester United boss was late. But you want to celebrate Lamela
:37:19. > :37:22.because you know the player and you are impressed with his development.
:37:23. > :37:26.Nobody tries harder than him to fit into the Premier league. He worked
:37:27. > :37:27.his socks off every single day in training. He has got stronger
:37:28. > :37:39.physically and mentally. Great chance for Eriksen, but he
:37:40. > :37:41.should score, he knows that, it does not affect him. He is still taking
:37:42. > :37:48.it to United. You know what he is going to do, it does not work out on
:37:49. > :37:53.this occasion. If anybody can take on Eriksen on a free must be very
:37:54. > :37:58.good and he has obviously impressed Mauricio Pochettino in training.
:37:59. > :38:03.Great delivery. Great header from Alderweireld. The game is over as
:38:04. > :38:07.soon as they scroll. And it is a great finish from Lamela. I am
:38:08. > :38:12.delighted for him because if anybody deserves it, he does. It was a big
:38:13. > :38:17.price tag for him and he is showing what he is worth.
:38:18. > :38:29.On paper, it looks like Tottenham have got the trachea, marginally?
:38:30. > :38:34.Because Leicester have got the drop points for them to get anywhere. --
:38:35. > :38:39.trachea. Leicester needed to win three games, they have their hands
:38:40. > :38:42.on it. But interesting if Leicester were to lose now. If they can win
:38:43. > :38:47.the next two, they will get over the line. They are not looking like they
:38:48. > :38:52.waltzed on ball, they have been fantastic. But I would love to see
:38:53. > :38:57.it for Tottenham if they could lose the next. If Manchester City were
:38:58. > :39:01.seven points clear of Arsenal, we would not be talking about this. It
:39:02. > :39:06.is an insult to Leicester. They have only lost three games all season.
:39:07. > :39:11.Three games all season and we expect them to lose more than three in the
:39:12. > :39:17.last five, six games, it is not going to happen. It is theirs to
:39:18. > :39:18.lose. So Leicester winning? Yes. He cannot say it!
:39:19. > :39:22.Two big matches on the BBC this week to tell you about.
:39:23. > :39:25.On Tuesday, Radio 5 Live has commentary on the second leg of
:39:26. > :39:26.Manchester City's Champions League quarterfinal
:39:27. > :39:31.And on Wednesday, we'll bring you live coverage of West Ham
:39:32. > :39:33.versus Manchester United in their FA Cup quarterfinal replay.
:39:34. > :39:35.The build-up starts on the red button from 6:45pm.
:39:36. > :39:38.Coming up, we'll show you the best of Saturday's action and talk
:39:39. > :39:40.about Aston Villa in our My Club feature.
:39:41. > :39:42.But next, it's to Anfield, where both Liverpool and Stoke
:39:43. > :39:44.were still harbouring hopes of a late challenge
:39:45. > :39:59.Only once this season have Liverpool managed to win a league game
:40:00. > :40:05.directly after a European fixture. A quick turnaround after only
:40:06. > :40:10.returning from Dortmund on Friday and Jurgen Klopp has an eye on the
:40:11. > :40:16.second leg on Thursday. Seven changes including a first start for
:40:17. > :40:21.midfielder Kevin Stewart. Stoke welcome back Ryan Shawcross and
:40:22. > :40:25.Peter Crouch starts up front against his old team. This is the fourth
:40:26. > :40:31.time these sides have met the season. Only one goal between them
:40:32. > :40:39.each time so far. Known that making a run. -- in love. That
:40:40. > :40:40.each time so far. Known that making kick to Liverpool. Only his seventh
:40:41. > :40:45.appearance kick to Liverpool. Only his seventh
:40:46. > :40:53.this season, Bardsley. The free kick has been taken quickly. Drilled into
:40:54. > :41:00.the back of the net by Moreno! It is his first goal this season. Stoke
:41:01. > :41:05.were caught completely unawares. Milner saw no reason not to take
:41:06. > :41:11.that quickly. And with nobody picking up Moreno, it is still a
:41:12. > :41:18.very good finish. Liverpool take advantage of a lapse in
:41:19. > :41:26.concentration. Really good start for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp.
:41:27. > :41:36.Shawcross, looking for Crouch, over the top of Skrtel, Portadown. --
:41:37. > :41:42.brought down. Not much else on for Peter Crouch. He did well to draw
:41:43. > :41:54.the foul which might be within the shooting range of Shaqiri. It is
:41:55. > :41:57.Bojan and it is the equaliser! All Liverpool eyes on the tall figure of
:41:58. > :42:05.Peter Crouch but it is one of the smallest man on the pitch who has
:42:06. > :42:07.nipped in to get 1-1. The school last week that he scored last week
:42:08. > :42:13.against Swansea and again this last week that he scored last week
:42:14. > :42:18.at Anfield, it is his seventh goal of the season in all competitions,
:42:19. > :42:25.Shaqiri. He darted forward. And all it needed was a glance. Milner,
:42:26. > :42:42.Firmino. Straight to it needed was a glance. Milner,
:42:43. > :42:47.done. Pieters, towards Crouch. The flag is raised on Peter Crouch. He
:42:48. > :42:54.thought for a moment he had scored at the Kop end. Really graceful
:42:55. > :43:02.header from Peter Crouch. But just offside.
:43:03. > :43:05.header from Peter Crouch. But just Anfield, he went off at half-time
:43:06. > :43:11.against Dortmund on Thursday, 6-8 weeks
:43:12. > :43:16.against Dortmund on Thursday, 6-8 injury. His participation at Euro
:43:17. > :43:26.2016 seriously in doubt. Sturridge. Not far away.
:43:27. > :43:30.2016 seriously in doubt. Sturridge. this was in. Jurgen Klopp has only
:43:31. > :43:43.had three wins at Anfield since taking charge. Ojo, Moreno. He
:43:44. > :43:50.continues his run. He gets around Shaqiri. Sturridge! 2-1, Liverpool.
:43:51. > :43:56.All set up for Ojo on his first Premier league start! As much
:43:57. > :44:01.congratulations for the team-mates to the man who provided the assessed
:44:02. > :44:07.as the man who finished it off, Ojo, who had been on loan at
:44:08. > :44:12.Wolverhampton this season. And look at the confidence to go around
:44:13. > :44:16.Shaqiri and place it on to the forehead of Daniel Sturridge disturb
:44:17. > :44:20.rates his eighth goal in all competitions Dasher celebrates.
:44:21. > :44:25.Beautiful cross, no chance for the goalkeeper to intercept. And Daniel
:44:26. > :44:43.Sturridge gets his fourth goal in seven games against Stoke. Imbula.
:44:44. > :44:47.Cameroon. Imbula. And still... Away by Mignolet. A lot of behind that.
:44:48. > :44:58.Imbula. Liverpool with Sturridge and Origi
:44:59. > :45:06.upfront together. Origi helped by Milner. Encourage him to get into
:45:07. > :45:16.the penalty area, which he does. Out for a corner. Liverpool host Everton

:45:54. > :45:55.for Origi, and he says, thank you very much for his seventh goal in

:47:06. > :47:16.Marina has made a great run inside him -- Moreno. Origi puts it wide.
:47:17. > :47:20.Very slick build-up from Liverpool. Great awareness from Daniel

:47:41. > :47:45.from the Belgian, and tucked into the bottom corner. Marvellous goal
:47:46. > :47:52.from Origi. You can almost see the fear in the eyes of Phil Bardsley
:47:53. > :47:56.here, as Origi began to accelerate towards him. He was backing off,
:47:57. > :48:00.backing off and it doesn't touch anyone on its way through. Origi's
:48:01. > :48:05.second goal of the game. A little look up and I'm sure his intended
:48:06. > :48:09.target was to pass it in towards Sturridge. It's his third goal of
:48:10. > :48:15.the week, having also scored in Dortmund in the Europa League.
:48:16. > :48:25.I'm really proud because the lads did brilliant. It's a completely new
:48:26. > :48:32.formation. I'm sure they never played together in this line-up.
:48:33. > :48:36.Then to play football like this, in the circumstances like today against

:48:41. > :48:45.aren't Peter Crouch is not easy to defend so it's not about pressing.
:48:46. > :48:47.The first half I was reasonably happy with the performance even
:48:48. > :48:53.though we were behind in the game, we were very much in the game as
:48:54. > :48:59.such in terms of possession and control of the game, but we kept on
:49:00. > :49:04.letting ourselves down by not being conscientious in our defensive work
:49:05. > :49:08.and not switching on when the ball went dead and as a consequence the
:49:09. > :49:11.situation lacks a goal. A difficult day certainly in the second half
:49:12. > :49:16.were we didn't acquit ourselves very well at all. We will get to the root
:49:17. > :49:19.of Stoke's problems at the moment but let's talk about a nice striking
:49:20. > :49:24.conundrum for Jurgen Klopp especially with Dortmund on Thursday
:49:25. > :49:28.the second leg coming. A great problem to have, two strikers in
:49:29. > :49:35.form. He will want to play with one, take your choice, I think Daniel
:49:36. > :49:39.Sturridge started really well. He looks at Chez Ocho here and then the
:49:40. > :49:44.will fancy him to beat Origi. It's a great finish, we circle him. Good
:49:45. > :49:47.movement, good awareness looking over his shoulder. Good linkup play.
:49:48. > :49:52.As soon as the ball goes wide, like any good striker he's in the office,
:49:53. > :49:56.18-yard box looking for any little knock-downs to get his goals because
:49:57. > :50:00.that's what matters. Great improvisation and skill, backing it
:50:01. > :50:03.up. Origi will be disappointed he didn't finish that body goes into
:50:04. > :50:08.the six yard box. I'm not sure the goalkeeper will be happy with his
:50:09. > :50:11.positioning there. Again, Origi on the ball, one-on-one with Bardsley.
:50:12. > :50:15.If you ask any winger put it inside the far post, the perfect place to
:50:16. > :50:20.put it. Defenders and goalkeeper don't want to go for the strikers
:50:21. > :50:23.are dying to get on the end of that. No one gets on began the bit but
:50:24. > :50:27.it's perfect, right in the bottom corner. This is probably why Origi
:50:28. > :50:32.has the edge on Daniel Sturridge. His workrate. He gets back in, he
:50:33. > :50:35.helps the teen out a bit more than Daniel and for me, for the second
:50:36. > :50:39.leg against Borussia Dortmund he probably will get the nod for that
:50:40. > :50:47.reason. He started the away leg, you think you will stick with him. I
:50:48. > :50:49.think so, he is playing well, scoring goals. He has asked Daniel
:50:50. > :50:59.Sturridge to think about his gay game. We have missed -- his game. We
:51:00. > :51:03.have missed him out there. Stoke have goalkeeping issues with
:51:04. > :51:08.Butland, Haugaard will be disappointed. He had a difficult
:51:09. > :51:12.day, it's a shame Jack Butland has got injured at this period of the
:51:13. > :51:16.season. He is a young goalie. He has not have the best of afternoons, a
:51:17. > :51:19.few goals I would put down to him. Shay Given is back fit now so I
:51:20. > :51:23.would suggest we will probably see him in the nets next week against
:51:24. > :51:30.Tottenham Hotspur. His team-mates could help him out by stopping the
:51:31. > :51:33.delivery of shots into the box. It's a great learning curve, that --
:51:34. > :51:37.playing at Anfield is difficult and he will learn from this and come out
:51:38. > :51:39.stronger. Don't be too hard on himself, it's all part of learning.
:51:40. > :51:43.OK. Very nice there, Tim! We start our round-up of Saturday's
:51:44. > :52:07.goals at Upton Park, Lanzini, Payet is wide. Kouyate is
:52:08. > :52:14.in the middle as well. Aims for Carroll, that's offside again.
:52:15. > :52:15.Lanzini judged to be offside. Bellerin is certainly playing him
:52:16. > :52:28.on. That goal should have stood. Bellerin is certainly playing him
:52:29. > :52:35.middle. He has gone down, there was contact, should have been a penalty.
:52:36. > :52:41.Arsenal lead! The flag stayed down for that one. West Ham will ruefully
:52:42. > :52:49.look at the flag that was stuck up at the other end.
:52:50. > :52:58.Coquelin, picked out by Sanchez. Opening up a gap to Iwobi. A lovely
:52:59. > :53:03.ball. Sanchez, it is two for Arsenal and that is a sweet goal from their
:53:04. > :53:06.point of view. Really well works, and well finished Rostock 2-0 to
:53:07. > :53:15.Arsenal. It was a lovely move. Getting back to his best, Sanchez.
:53:16. > :53:17.Kouyate is in the middle, Carroll has attacked it. West Ham are back
:53:18. > :53:22.in the game. West Ham has attacked it. West Ham are back
:53:23. > :53:29.two. An important time for West Ham to get the goal, just before
:53:30. > :53:34.half-time. Noble, second ball in. Carroll had to just it down. An
:53:35. > :53:40.equaliser from Andy Carroll. A big deflection. Stoppage time at the end
:53:41. > :53:49.of the first half, two goals in two minutes from Andy Carroll. Off
:53:50. > :53:55.Gabriel, celebrations at the end of a tremendous first half of football.
:53:56. > :54:03.Looking for Carroll to get in behind Koscielny. Carroll all alone. That's
:54:04. > :54:08.beyond the goalkeeper, and it's in! The referee has blown for a foul and
:54:09. > :54:11.West Ham have had another goal disallowed. He is challenging the
:54:12. > :54:14.centre-half, Koscielny bashes into disallowed. He is challenging the
:54:15. > :54:18.his own goalkeeper. He looked far from convincing. It rolls to Payet,
:54:19. > :54:23.who took sit-in, no goal, from convincing. It rolls to Payet,
:54:24. > :54:30.controversy at Upton Park. Antonio on the outside, Arsenal are rocking
:54:31. > :54:39.here. To Carroll! Sensational! What a comeback! Patrick Carroll. Three
:54:40. > :54:42.goals effectively in nine minutes for Andy Carroll -- a hat-trick for
:54:43. > :54:52.Carroll. Ramsey having a look. for Andy Carroll -- a hat-trick for
:54:53. > :54:54.turned, back to Welbeck Ramdin by Koscielny. An amazing game
:54:55. > :54:58.turned, back to Welbeck Ramdin by another turn. 3-3. I wonderful game
:54:59. > :55:11.of football. What a London derby. A chance for West Brom to break with
:55:12. > :55:19.Fletcher. He has clipped it out to Maclean. Numbers Ford, West Brom.
:55:20. > :55:29.Including Sessegnon. It fell nicely for him -- numbers are forward. What
:55:30. > :55:39.a strike. Stephane Sessegnon. To give West Brom a lead. Happy for
:55:40. > :55:43.play to continue, the referee. Kolarov, court, a penalty. Sessegnon
:55:44. > :55:50.committed the foul. Manchester City get the penalty. Sergio Aguero has
:55:51. > :55:56.the opportunity from the spot, 16 goals in his last 17 Premier League
:55:57. > :56:07.games. He scores again. Manchester City are back on terms. Sessegnon.
:56:08. > :56:17.In towards Sandro. He went down. West Brom appeal. Mike Jones is
:56:18. > :56:24.unmoved. Kevin De Bruyne. Trying to add a bit of spark to City's play.
:56:25. > :56:27.He has found Navas, Aguero, second time and then Nasri. That is the
:56:28. > :56:33.goal that Manchester City really needed. For the first time today,
:56:34. > :56:48.Manchester City are in front. City two, West Brom one.
:56:49. > :56:56.In thereby Long, Long manages to go on a bit, and a bit more, and he's
:56:57. > :57:01.into school, for Southampton. And he has walked through the Newcastle
:57:02. > :57:08.midfield and defence. Southampton one, Newcastle United nil. Mane.
:57:09. > :57:16.Janmaat was an unfortunate stumble. Tadic, a chance to find Long. Long
:57:17. > :57:23.to Pelle, 2- 02 Saints. They had as much time as wanted. -- 2-0, to
:57:24. > :57:33.Saints. Something different from Southampton. Mane breezes past
:57:34. > :57:39.Wijnaldum. A good save. Kolarov -- Wanyama scores, no way back for
:57:40. > :57:41.Newcastle, not today, maybe not this season. Southampton three, Newcastle
:57:42. > :57:58.United nil. Wijnaldum. Townsend. Andros Townsend inside.
:57:59. > :58:05.Townsend's shot, a great goal. He deserved that. He scored the best
:58:06. > :58:11.goal of the game yet. It becomes Southampton three, Newcastle United
:58:12. > :58:17.one. Ewan-macro so that's the top eight, gentlemen. Your top four,
:58:18. > :58:19.please? As it is, I think the game between Manchester City and Arsenal,
:58:20. > :58:24.whoever wins that finishes third and the other team finishes fourth. So
:58:25. > :58:29.no Champions League football for Manchester knighted? I agree. The
:58:30. > :58:35.only way Manchester City could slip up is with the Champions League,
:58:36. > :58:39.SOCA Man United supporters will be supporting them in the Champions
:58:40. > :58:44.League! Maybe not going that far. Arsenal out of the title race? I
:58:45. > :58:48.think so, I was impressed with the map Everton last week and I was very
:58:49. > :58:52.impressed with them at 2-0 what up but they folded in the second
:58:53. > :58:55.period, all down to Andy Carroll. West Ham are on a trend this season
:58:56. > :58:59.but they can't win it from here. Sunderland's defeat today means
:59:00. > :59:01.Aston Villa are spared mathematical relegation for another week,
:59:02. > :59:04.but it's been a truly miserable So what's it been like for
:59:05. > :59:07.a lifelong supporter who's seen his team lift the League
:59:08. > :59:21.and the European Cup? This is Villa Park. This is our
:59:22. > :59:29.home. This is the place we come to worship. It's in our DNA that we
:59:30. > :59:37.will turn up. Saturdays, Sundays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays. We will be
:59:38. > :59:43.here. We support Villa. I remember my first game. My older brother
:59:44. > :59:45.taking me to Villa Park. I couldn't believe the size of the Holte End.
:59:46. > :59:54.One of the first games was Bournemouth. Going for it... We were
:59:55. > :59:59.in the third division. 48,000 people turned up for a third division game!
:00:00. > :00:03.I'd see us win the European Cup against Bayern Munich. The year
:00:04. > :00:08.after, we beat Barcelona. I've been lucky. I've been fortunate. I've
:00:09. > :00:12.seen some great times. And you've got to take the bad times with the
:00:13. > :00:16.good, and I've had more good than bad. We've had some great players
:00:17. > :00:24.play for this famous club. The likes of Andy Lochhead, Paul McGrath,
:00:25. > :00:29.Gordon Caron is, Brian Lendl, Bruce Reel, Ken McNaught, we've had lots
:00:30. > :00:34.of good players. But you know what? I couldn't name one from this lot
:00:35. > :00:39.now. Not one. Not one that deserves to grace the same pitch that those
:00:40. > :00:45.great players played. This is what Villa means to me. Last season, we
:00:46. > :00:50.had just beaten Albion. FA Cup quarterfinal, we are going to
:00:51. > :00:55.Wembley to play Liverpool, so I have a dilemma, I have to ring -- ring my
:00:56. > :01:00.wife and I have to say good news, bad news. Good news, Villa is going
:01:01. > :01:05.to Wembley, the bad news, that holiday you booked to Barbados is
:01:06. > :01:12.off. And he meant it! Today is my birthday.
:01:13. > :01:20.France, Ritchie. France. It is dangerous and into the back of the
:01:21. > :01:26.net! And they have fallen behind to Steve Cook in top -- in stoppage
:01:27. > :01:33.time at the end of the first half. And Aston Villa behind again.
:01:34. > :01:41.Westwood, Sissoko. Clark is in trouble. He stabs it into the back
:01:42. > :01:47.of the Aston Villa net! And that just about sums up this season.
:01:48. > :01:55.Aston Villa have gifted, a second, taken by Josh King. The halt and
:01:56. > :02:04.showing more defiance than their team this season. Jordan Ayew finds
:02:05. > :02:09.space and he scores. They have something to lift their spirits.
:02:10. > :02:11.Aston Villa's season will travel one more week to Old Trafford were
:02:12. > :02:21.surely the end will come? We are not down, the inevitable will
:02:22. > :02:24.happen next week, it has been five years coming, it is not just the
:02:25. > :02:29.players but from the top downwards. We hope now they have a football
:02:30. > :02:36.board, maybe we will return next season but at the moment, we are on
:02:37. > :02:41.the road to nowhere. You have got to feel for grant and
:02:42. > :02:45.you know the club so well. The future for them now is in the
:02:46. > :02:54.Championship. They have appointed Brian Little, David Bernstein on the
:02:55. > :02:59.board, is that a good move? I think so, as many people you can get in
:03:00. > :03:02.your club as possible, it is important they look to get things
:03:03. > :03:10.right on the pitch. Recruitment is going to be key. Next season. And to
:03:11. > :03:13.recruit a manager, which is the most important at the moment. I am
:03:14. > :03:18.surprised they have not done that until now and perhaps the man they
:03:19. > :03:20.want is already in a job or else it would be a good opportunity for
:03:21. > :03:26.somebody to go in now and to look what they have and assess what they
:03:27. > :03:30.need for next season. Do you worry with the likes of Bolton being
:03:31. > :03:32.relegated yesterday from the Championship that they could
:03:33. > :03:39.disappear the same way? That slippery slide? I do not, they have
:03:40. > :03:42.a lot of players at the club equipped to play in the
:03:43. > :03:48.Championship, I think they would do well in the Championship. They need
:03:49. > :03:52.to add players who know the league and play around it and they need to
:03:53. > :03:57.get a couple of English players at the club. And I believe that the
:03:58. > :04:05.future could be bright for the club. That support, many thousands of
:04:06. > :04:09.supporters deserve a better team on the pitch and they have been saying
:04:10. > :04:13.it for many years and I am sure they are making the right moves to get
:04:14. > :04:13.that club back to where they belong which
:04:14. > :04:17.that club back to where they belong league and secure in the top half.
:04:18. > :04:20.They only have to look league and secure in the top half.
:04:21. > :04:25.at Leicester in terms of recruitment and what they can do if they are
:04:26. > :04:31.clever and who they can bring in. You look at the club and the
:04:32. > :04:33.tradition, the stadium, the fan base, it is a very well supported
:04:34. > :04:35.club. It is sad base, it is a very well supported
:04:36. > :04:38.there but that happens when base, it is a very well supported
:04:39. > :04:41.mismanage a club and recruitment is wrong and you get players not
:04:42. > :04:45.equipped to play in the Premier league. Thank you.
:04:46. > :05:01.starting with another big game at the bottom.
:05:02. > :05:12.Was there a foul? Jarvis thinks there was. A shove, I suppose you
:05:13. > :05:24.would call it. Whether that contact is sufficient to get
:05:25. > :05:25.would call it. Whether that contact Michael Oliver decided not to. And
:05:26. > :05:31.he has done it! Michael Oliver decided not to. And
:05:32. > :05:36.first goal of the season. A huge standing ovation around Selhurst
:05:37. > :05:45.Park. It was typical of Jason Puncheon, it came out of nothing
:05:46. > :05:51.quick that left foot. Jordan Ayew trying to steal an on
:05:52. > :05:57.the far post. Montero. Appeals for handball. Largely from the Swansea
:05:58. > :06:04.supporters. Montero with the cross again, he drops it for Gylfi
:06:05. > :06:06.Sigurdsson. And having started last weekend's comeback at Stoke City,

:07:19. > :07:23.the end of the first half. This is how the Barclays

:08:14. > :08:17.The Swansea, there was quite literally a schoolboy error. They
:08:18. > :08:23.said, stands there, so they did and got wet. A big match at White Hart
:08:24. > :08:28.Lane. The linesman had a serious warm up routine to match.
:08:29. > :08:35.Interesting moves. Happy days at Anfield, the cogs all-round, almost.
:08:36. > :08:41.But Erik Pieters of Stoke City got the cuddle, awkward!
:08:42. > :08:47.That was too emotional and it got a bit much at the Stadium Of Light for
:08:48. > :08:49.a couple of wily old Foxes who wanted for a very long time to feel

:08:55. > :08:56.of Steve Bruce's brace which propelled Manchester United
:08:57. > :08:57.to their first League And Bruce isn't the only
:08:58. > :09:18.title-winner who found a crucial Thomas. And Thomas is there! And
:09:19. > :09:29.Thomas has scored! In injury time for Arsenal. Well done! What a goal!
:09:30. > :09:33.What an explosive intervention in Premier League football. We have got
:09:34. > :09:40.quite a finished here. Two moral minutes of added time. It is William
:09:41. > :09:55.Gallas in the 92nd minute for Chelsea! It is Sergio Aguero!
:09:56. > :09:58.Manchester City winner! Bruce! Yes! Unbelievable!
