One Premier League game on Match Of The Day 2 tonight.

:00:49.:00:53.

And then later, we'll have two FA Cup quarterfinals,

:00:54.:00:56.

all in the company of Joey Barton and Kevin Kilbane.

:00:57.:00:58.

So to Villa Park, and two teams having very different seasons.

:00:59.:01:51.

It is 31 years since Spurs were in the top two at this stage of the

:01:52.:02:00.

season. They are looking to repeat what Phil Mickelson's team did in

:02:01.:02:05.

1961. But they know the margin for error is decreasing all the time.

:02:06.:02:10.

Remy Garde makes three changes from the side comfortably beaten by

:02:11.:02:12.

Manchester City. Agbonlahor is injured. After the seven changes in

:02:13.:02:22.

Dortmund in the Europa League in the week, Pochettino reverts to the

:02:23.:02:26.

Tottenham team which started the north London derby. Harry Kane's

:02:27.:02:30.

goal in that match was his 16th in his last 20 Premier League James.

:02:31.:02:36.

Two more than the Villa team have managed in the same period. Spurs

:02:37.:02:41.

have won seven of the last eight meetings with Aston Villa. They must

:02:42.:02:47.

win this one to keep the pressure on Leicester, before they play

:02:48.:02:52.

Newcastle tomorrow. Eriksen is totally unmarked... Villa got a bit

:02:53.:03:00.

fortunate there. Kane almost squeezed it through to Christian

:03:01.:03:03.

Eriksen. Warning signs already for the bottom club. That has been given

:03:04.:03:12.

straight to Carles Gil on his recall. Clean challenge from Rose

:03:13.:03:21.

right in front of the referee. Guzan has to get there! He doesn't! And

:03:22.:03:26.

Harry Kane has hit the bar! Just inches away. It was devastatingly

:03:27.:03:41.

quick, a beautifully weighted pass. Kane lifted it over the 'keeper but

:03:42.:03:44.

could not quite get it underneath the crossbar.

:03:45.:03:55.

Lovely football. Important interception from Lescott. Dele

:03:56.:04:05.

Alli's drive, straight to Guzan. The Tottenham players thinking up

:04:06.:04:06.

positively again. -- linking up. Long from Hutton. In towards

:04:07.:04:32.

Gestede. It was half a chance. He could not really make any contact,

:04:33.:04:36.

Gestede. Veretout did really well to get this across.

:04:37.:04:44.

The last Villa manager to win a major trophy, Brian Little, watching

:04:45.:04:50.

on. He was announced as an adviser to the board this week.

:04:51.:05:02.

When Harry Kane is on your shoulder, you do not take any chances - and

:05:03.:05:16.

Lescott didn't. Eriksen! Christian Eriksen has only scored one goal in

:05:17.:05:20.

his last 13. That was the winner at Manchester City, though. But I think

:05:21.:05:23.

Brad Guzan had discovered. It has fallen to Eriksen. Kane into

:05:24.:05:32.

the path of Rose. Harry Kane! It has fallen to Eriksen. Kane into

:05:33.:05:43.

should have put pediment in front. Good awareness from Kane to find

:05:44.:05:58.

Here is Kane. Kane went alone. Beaten away by Guzan. The danger is

:05:59.:06:10.

still not cleared for Villa. Cleverley done by Eriksen. Cleared

:06:11.:06:22.

by Hutton. Hit could have been easily beaten by now, Brad Guzan.

:06:23.:06:26.

You cannot blame Harry Kane for going for goal, the run he is on. He

:06:27.:06:37.

has won just two of his 18 games in charge. Beaten on ten occasions.

:06:38.:06:47.

Still level in this one. Lamela! It still won't go in for Tottenham!

:06:48.:06:58.

Spurs are scratching their heads and wondering how they are not in front.

:06:59.:07:12.

Hutton, in the right place at the right time.

:07:13.:07:32.

Looking for the free kick. And Villa have got it, right in front of

:07:33.:07:44.

Anthony Taylor, the referee. 6.5 minutes to half-time. Spurs have

:07:45.:07:49.

everybody back. And it came straight at Lloris in the end. The inclusion

:07:50.:07:55.

of Gestede today makes Villa more threatening from this kind of

:07:56.:07:56.

situation. Foul by Gana. Takes it quickly, in

:07:57.:08:24.

towards Kane. Harry Kane! Right on the stroke of half-time, Harry Kane

:08:25.:08:26.

again. And this time, Villa could not survive. His 21st goal in all

:08:27.:08:33.

competitions this season. It was the quick thinking of Dele Alli, after

:08:34.:08:39.

he had been fouled, saw the run of Kane.

:08:40.:08:52.

He still had plenty to do. 17 league goals in 21 league games for Harry

:08:53.:09:02.

Kane. Ten in his last 11 Premier League away games. Well, Remy Garde

:09:03.:09:09.

has made the point in his programme notes today that when his team go

:09:10.:09:15.

one goal down, confidence levels are fragile.

:09:16.:09:22.

Harry Kane, Kiss of the! And it has taken them less than 2.5 minutes of

:09:23.:09:38.

the second half. -- 2-0, Tottenham! That will surely be the killer.

:09:39.:09:43.

Right at the end of the first half - and now at the start of the second.

:09:44.:09:58.

Nice linkup between Lamela and Dele Alli. No chance for tactic. Is he

:09:59.:10:08.

about to see his team capitulate again?

:10:09.:10:12.

Beaten away by Guzan. From one fallback to another. It nearly

:10:13.:10:32.

turned into the third goal. Good strike from Kyle Walker. Those

:10:33.:10:37.

Tottenham fans certainly are dreaming. 55 points they had before

:10:38.:10:44.

today - their highest tally ever in a Premier League season after 29

:10:45.:10:47.

matches. They expected three more today.

:10:48.:10:51.

Lescott with the outstretched leg. You have to go back to need 1994

:10:52.:11:19.

Tottenham's last top three finish. -- back to 1990.

:11:20.:11:26.

Harry Kane: Great team performance today!

:11:27.:11:33.

Fantastic run from Ayew. And Gestede could not finish it off! It just

:11:34.:11:48.

will not go in for Villa. This is what Ayew is potentially capable

:11:49.:11:50.

will not go in for Villa. This is Good strength and awareness.

:11:51.:12:08.

Of the 92 league clubs, Dagenham have a worst home record in

:12:09.:12:13.

Aston Villa. Gana switching play to the teenage

:12:14.:12:47.

debutant Green. No chances taken by Wimmer. Corner to Villa. Three

:12:48.:12:52.

minutes of the 90 remaining. It comes. Somehow they have been

:12:53.:13:03.

denied! Lescott at the back post. I think it was a good victory. Very

:13:04.:13:36.

important after three or four games, not so good. Another defeat, but was

:13:37.:13:42.

that a better attitude from your players today? Yesterday in the.

:13:43.:13:48.

Unfortunately, the result is not positive for us. But for sure, the

:13:49.:13:53.

commitment of the players for the 90 minutes was far better than in the

:13:54.:13:58.

previous weeks. What about the run Harry Kane is on at the moment? Very

:13:59.:14:04.

important for him and very important for the team. Very pleased for him,

:14:05.:14:09.

because he is an unbelievable guy. He works very hard for the team. Was

:14:10.:14:16.

a very important. You say until it is mathematically possible, but how

:14:17.:14:19.

difficult is it when the club have now lost 20 games this season? I

:14:20.:14:25.

would say of course the situation is awful. It is a massive challenge to

:14:26.:14:34.

win enough games to be safe. But you know when you are wearing a shirt

:14:35.:14:37.

like Aston Villa's shirt, you have to be proud and fight until the last

:14:38.:14:42.

minute. That is only what we have to do. Of course I knew the situation

:14:43.:14:49.

would be difficult. Maybe I found things more difficult when I came

:14:50.:14:55.

here, for sure, yes. Is it good for the Tottenham fans to be talking

:14:56.:14:58.

about the title again? Yes, you cannot stop the dream of the people.

:14:59.:15:03.

They are right to dream. But for us, it is important to dream, but work

:15:04.:15:06.

very hard. Remi Garde seemed quite honest,

:15:07.:15:16.

saying how difficult he found it, but when it came to the goals they

:15:17.:15:22.

conceded, it was down to a lack of communication and experience and you

:15:23.:15:27.

maybe doubt the latter part of that. You have four internationals on the

:15:28.:15:33.

backline with 115 years of combined age. If there is any stage you are

:15:34.:15:41.

experienced, it is now. You look at some of their defending, you can be

:15:42.:15:46.

nothing but negative about it. Particularly the full-backs? For

:15:47.:15:50.

sure. Alan Hutton is an international, Cissokho has been

:15:51.:15:58.

capped by France. Time after time, as we go on, the reaction is really

:15:59.:16:06.

poor. Lamela gives him five yards. He can do an awful lot more here. He

:16:07.:16:12.

lets him get a shot away and it is a great save. Hutton did well here,

:16:13.:16:19.

but as we can see, you are on the counterattack with a bit of

:16:20.:16:24.

transition and both forwards and start driving forward. Then they

:16:25.:16:31.

start moaning about the decision. Great play by Harry Kane and Dele

:16:32.:16:36.

Alli, and they are 1-0 down but you look at this reaction from Cissokho,

:16:37.:16:42.

that says, don't blame me, it's not my fault. It's not what you need in

:16:43.:16:49.

a relegation battle. This is farcical, a from half-time, the back

:16:50.:16:53.

four should be in that position, what they are doing, nobody knows.

:16:54.:16:59.

They make small error after small error which leads to the second for

:17:00.:17:03.

Harry Kane and it is almost a game over. And if Cissokho had been

:17:04.:17:08.

further round he could have covered Kane? For sure. You are a minute

:17:09.:17:15.

after half-time, that is what Remi Garde will have said, you have

:17:16.:17:21.

created some chances, and when I have played with teams at the

:17:22.:17:25.

bottom, Steve Bruce put me at left-back for Wigan. He would say to

:17:26.:17:31.

sit in my position and play from behind and support. Aston Villa are

:17:32.:17:35.

not doing that because both full-backs are going forward and

:17:36.:17:40.

they don't have any support. In those 20 defeats, there has to be a

:17:41.:17:46.

time for the defensive unit to just sit in, Joleon Lescott has to do

:17:47.:17:51.

that as a defensive player. For all of the errors and allowing space,

:17:52.:17:57.

you have to exploit it which is what Spurs did. And they have one of the

:17:58.:18:04.

best exponent in that in Harry Kane. His movement all afternoon was

:18:05.:18:10.

phenomenal. This is Danny Rose showing what a full-back should do.

:18:11.:18:17.

Kane does not have searing pace but he was constantly on the shoulder,

:18:18.:18:21.

in between defenders. On another afternoon he could have had four or

:18:22.:18:27.

five. If you are a young boys playing football in the striking

:18:28.:18:33.

position, you have got to watch him. Not blessed with pace but his

:18:34.:18:37.

movement, he never allows the defender to pick him up, he is

:18:38.:18:41.

always in the space between defenders and that is where a lot of

:18:42.:18:46.

his chances come from Ulster little things here, on the shoulder, alive.

:18:47.:18:54.

Walker gets back but watch his position. Absolutely perfect for a

:18:55.:19:00.

centre forward and he takes the shot early. This is the goal, his little

:19:01.:19:08.

check to stay onside. It is high-class stuff. Great ball from

:19:09.:19:15.

Alli to spot him. It is a supreme poacher. Linking up, he doesn't stop

:19:16.:19:22.

and he attacks the space. And he gets his reward. And you are taught

:19:23.:19:29.

that from an early age, to attack the space? Particularly as a front

:19:30.:19:34.

man, he also does the basics well. Received the ball, and then attack

:19:35.:19:39.

the space, if you are in between the goals, the ball will find you and he

:19:40.:19:45.

does that time and again and he gets his reward. Just on the Spurs

:19:46.:19:51.

full-backs Kubo bomb on, Walker and Rose -- who both bomb on. When they

:19:52.:20:00.

do, Dier sits in. Pochettino will have worked on that. The Spurs

:20:01.:20:05.

full-backs have created width because the three behind Harry Kane

:20:06.:20:12.

are quite narrow. Eric Dier almost makes a third centre-half. The Villa

:20:13.:20:20.

centre-backs did not even entertain the space and that is why there were

:20:21.:20:28.

gaps there. 2-0 flattered Villa. They did have a late chances to draw

:20:29.:20:33.

level. And early in the game when they missed the chance, but then

:20:34.:20:37.

they got it together. The longer this went on, this is what Remi

:20:38.:20:44.

Garde is saying, he has got around them to say, these sorts of chances,

:20:45.:20:49.

if you are top of the table, they would go in. At the bottom, this is

:20:50.:20:54.

what you find. It was an awful mess from Gestede. Lescott at the far

:20:55.:21:02.

post. I'd been in these positions, you feel like everything is going

:21:03.:21:08.

against you. They are almost feeling sorry for themselves. It is when you

:21:09.:21:09.

are at the sorry for themselves. It is when you

:21:10.:21:15.

out. The things you have to talk about, Spurs should have been out of

:21:16.:21:20.

sight and gone and because of good goalkeeping from Brad Guzan and some

:21:21.:21:25.

poor finishing from Spurs, it could have been a

:21:26.:21:27.

poor finishing from Spurs, it could kicked themselves.

:21:28.:21:28.

There were only three games in the Premier League yesterday -

:21:29.:21:31.

and we start our round-up with Swansea's visit

:21:32.:21:33.

Surman might just fancy teasing this to the back post. He goes for goal!

:21:34.:21:53.

A good effort onto the post, I think Fabianski had it covered.

:21:54.:22:01.

Pushed away by Fabianski and it will drop for Gradel! And Bournemouth

:22:02.:22:10.

take the lead! He will have enjoyed that. Max Gradel went on record

:22:11.:22:19.

saying that he wanted to give up the game at times during his recovery

:22:20.:22:22.

but he has made a big impact since coming back. Fer. Swansea only have

:22:23.:22:32.

to macro in the box, Sigurdsson makes it three. He has got the shot

:22:33.:22:40.

away and scored! Barrow with a wonderful reply for Swansea City!

:22:41.:22:45.

Bournemouth backed off as Barrow inched his way into the box and find

:22:46.:22:55.

the smallest of gaps. Fer. He had to stretch and it came off King to

:22:56.:23:03.

Gradel. Good shot and it was too strong for Fabianski and Josh King

:23:04.:23:08.

scores again! Fabianski was at full for the first and he might have do

:23:09.:23:10.

bear the blame for that as for the first and he might have do

:23:11.:23:12.

beaten at his near post but the for the first and he might have do

:23:13.:23:16.

power that Josh King summoned up was quite impressive. Two to his right.

:23:17.:23:29.

Wrangle, Barrow, a chance to cut it back, it drops for Sigurdsson! --

:23:30.:23:36.

Angel Rangel. Gylfi Sigurdsson does it again, seven

:23:37.:23:39.

Angel Rangel. Gylfi Sigurdsson does Premier League games and Swansea are

:23:40.:23:40.

back in the match again. The danger is still on, Coke! 3-2

:23:41.:23:58.

Bournemouth! He scored against Southampton in their last home

:23:59.:24:02.

fixture and Steve Cook does it again and for the third time, Bournemouth

:24:03.:24:04.

take the lead. It is like being in between a rock

:24:05.:24:16.

and a hard place for Norwich, Aguero or Silva. It is Aguero. A little

:24:17.:24:23.

and a hard place for Norwich, Aguero puff of the cheeks from John Ruddy,

:24:24.:24:27.

it was well hit by Aguero. He judged it right in the end but a slightly

:24:28.:24:32.

less comfortable save than it might have been and here is Aguero now.

:24:33.:24:39.

Good effort, really good save by ruddy. Tremendous effort from

:24:40.:24:44.

Aguero, this was terrific, real power in the shot.

:24:45.:24:57.

Otamendi was sleeping, in, Bamford! He has hit the bar. So

:24:58.:25:09.

unlucky. Look at Otamendi, fast asleep, Bamford nixed it away from

:25:10.:25:15.

him and a really good strike from Patrick Bamford -- nicked it.

:25:16.:25:24.

It has gone in, turned in at the near post and Kellie, who almost

:25:25.:25:35.

scored moments earlier, applies the finish seconds later -- Pelle. His

:25:36.:25:47.

first league goal since November. Tadic, Pelle, good effort! Terrific

:25:48.:25:54.

finish, 2-0 Southampton. They have had all the chances and they had

:25:55.:26:00.

scored the goals. Pelle had not scored in 12 matches in the Premier

:26:01.:26:10.

League but he has two. Afellay. A great ball in and it is turned in on

:26:11.:26:15.

the near post by Arnautovic and Stoke needed to score early in the

:26:16.:26:21.

second half and they have. A good move and their first attempt on

:26:22.:26:27.

target, turned in by Arnautovic, in great form, his 10th Premier League

:26:28.:26:33.

goal of the season. Tadic trying to get there and he does and was he

:26:34.:26:39.

caught? Lee Mason looked at his assistant on the near side who was

:26:40.:26:44.

unmoved and come in the end, he has given a goal kick. He doesn't

:26:45.:26:50.

believe Tadic dived, he doesn't believe he was fouled either. This

:26:51.:26:55.

was the moment. Butland comes to him and I think that is a penalty all

:26:56.:27:02.

day long. Up by Imbula, cleared by Romeu, back in by Shawcross and

:27:03.:27:12.

cleared again by Romeu and that is fouled by Mane, a card is coming.

:27:13.:27:23.

Red! Red for Sadio Mane! I suspect Southampton will probably want that

:27:24.:27:24.

to be reviewed. That leaves us with Leicester

:27:25.:27:33.

against Newcastle on Monday. A lot has been said about Rafael Benitez

:27:34.:27:39.

coming in for Newcastle but does it change things for Leicester? They

:27:40.:27:44.

will be aware that the new manager has come in, I have played for a few

:27:45.:27:48.

teams that have had to change their managers at this stage! It gives you

:27:49.:27:52.

a boost because you want to impress the manager but Leicester will be

:27:53.:27:56.

aware of that. If they want to win the league, they have to win this.

:27:57.:28:00.

Looking at it the other way, it focuses Leicester even more. If they

:28:01.:28:05.

don't beat Newcastle, they would be disappointed regardless of who is in

:28:06.:28:10.

charge. You would have to ask if Rafa has had enough time to work

:28:11.:28:13.

with them. You have to fancy Leicester. Especially if they are

:28:14.:28:19.

going to win the league as everybody hopes! Unless you are a Spurs or

:28:20.:28:25.

Arsenal or Manchester City fan. Will he keep them up? No, I think big Sam

:28:26.:28:31.

has more experience and I think Sunderland will stay up ahead of

:28:32.:28:34.

them. Former Sunderland player Kevin Kilbane! This is the Premier League

:28:35.:28:38.

table. Leicester can restore the 5-point

:28:39.:28:47.

cushion if they beat Newcastle tomorrow.

:28:48.:28:50.

That victory for Spurs was also a 20th league defeat of the season

:28:51.:28:53.

for Aston Villa, who are eight points adrift at the bottom.

:28:54.:28:56.

And that gap will grow if Newcastle get anything out of Rafa Benitez's

:28:57.:29:15.

Harry Kane! Mauricio Pochettino's team have kept themselves in the

:29:16.:29:22.

race! Time now to move on to the action

:29:23.:29:24.

from the Emirates FA Cup quarterfinals, with action

:29:25.:29:28.

from all these four coming up. We'll start with the holders -

:29:29.:29:45.

Arsenal at home to Watford, Arsenal went on to win the cup after

:29:46.:30:04.

their last meeting with Watford in this competition, 14 years ago.

:30:05.:30:11.

Watford fans, some of them, will remember there are victory over

:30:12.:30:16.

Arsenal at Highbury in 1987. Arsenal go with a strong side. They are

:30:17.:30:21.

looking to reach a record 29th semifinal. Watford have not gone

:30:22.:30:31.

further than this since 2007. Pantilimon is a very late

:30:32.:30:36.

replacement for Heurelho Gomes. Behrami gets his first FA Cup

:30:37.:30:38.

appearance for the club. Giroud, offside! Arsenal's Jory joy,

:30:39.:31:08.

short lived. Sanchez coming in off the line. Giroud denied his 21st

:31:09.:31:15.

goal of the season. Defensively, Watford look a little rocky. Elneny

:31:16.:31:30.

towards Giroud. Who has won it back. Gabriel had to come in - and that is

:31:31.:31:35.

a strong challenge. Watford are fuming. Really strong challenge.

:31:36.:31:38.

Both of them went for it. He played the ball, but was it a two footed

:31:39.:31:45.

challenge? Oh, that is dangerous. I think that is excessive force. I

:31:46.:31:50.

think that is a red card. But look at the referee's positioning. In my

:31:51.:31:54.

mind that should have been a yellow at least and probably a red.

:31:55.:32:05.

It is an Arsenal corner, the first of the game, after 29 minutes. Up

:32:06.:32:14.

goes Mertesacker, the Wembley cup final score for Arsenal. Giroud is

:32:15.:32:21.

also there. Away by Troy Deeney. Towards Elneny! The goalkeeper

:32:22.:32:27.

hesitated! And Elneny has missed horribly. Had he squared it, he

:32:28.:32:34.

might have been thinking that they would all be offside. But it was an

:32:35.:32:38.

awful finish. Watford on the counter. Troy Deeney

:32:39.:32:59.

waiting for it in the middle. And it is a terrible pass by Ighalo. His

:33:00.:33:02.

strike partner was in on goal! Look at this. Frustrated with himself.

:33:03.:33:09.

His manager must be tearing his hair out. He has lost his confidence,

:33:10.:33:15.

Ighalo, as the goals have dried up for him.

:33:16.:33:25.

Wins the ball. Prodl goes to ground, gets a touch on the ball. Arsenal's

:33:26.:33:43.

unbeaten run in this competition goes back all the way to 2012-13.

:33:44.:33:53.

Mesut Ozil fizzes it in, looking for Campbell...! Over it goes! They have

:33:54.:33:59.

created and missed another. Wonderful improvisation from Ozil.

:34:00.:34:09.

Campbell got underneath it. Hard work here for the cup holders. There

:34:10.:34:13.

might be moments work here for the cup holders. There

:34:14.:34:20.

unbeaten run in the competition. Hull in the final in 2014 could have

:34:21.:34:29.

gone horribly wrong, when they started so poorly. Calum Chambers,

:34:30.:34:37.

just 21. Ake with the throw. Ighalo scores! Wretched Arsenal defending

:34:38.:34:43.

and Watford are ahead at the Emirates! They have played a cagey

:34:44.:34:50.

game. They waited and waited until the moment. And beanie beat two

:34:51.:34:58.

Arsenal players in the air to head it on. And then Gabriel allowed

:34:59.:35:02.

Ighalo to turn. Really poor defending by Arsenal.

:35:03.:35:12.

9000 Watford rupees are singing and dreaming of Wembley.

:35:13.:35:23.

Ake has it. Giroud is chasing him. Ighalo! Could have been two! Some of

:35:24.:35:32.

these Arsenal players have to take a long look at themselves. They have

:35:33.:35:36.

under half an hour to rescue their season. They are surely out of the

:35:37.:35:42.

running for the league. Barcelona away, needing to score three? This

:35:43.:35:47.

is it for them, this competition. And they are second-best at the

:35:48.:35:53.

moment. Giroud, hits Pantilimon! He got lucky, the big old 'keeper.

:35:54.:35:56.

Fortune favours the brave. got lucky, the big old 'keeper.

:35:57.:36:07.

unlucky. Time ticks away. Arsenal's hopes of becoming only the third

:36:08.:36:11.

team to win the FA Cup three years in a row...

:36:12.:36:20.

Mertesacker, is he strong enough to deal with Troy Deeney? 2-0! Rocket

:36:21.:36:35.

past a hesitant Ospina! And Arsenal's long, long unbeaten FA Cup

:36:36.:36:40.

run is coming to an end. And this was an absolute Qualter overdrive.

:36:41.:36:48.

Ospina, beaten at his near post by the sheer power. But would Petr Cech

:36:49.:36:54.

have saved that? I think the answer is - more probably. Ahead of here

:36:55.:37:06.

for the Gunners would change everything. Chambers, Giroud!

:37:07.:37:19.

Brilliant defending. Just nicked away by the Northern Ireland

:37:20.:37:21.

international Cathcart. It has been a fantastic season and this would it

:37:22.:37:28.

for Watford, a trip to Wembley. -- and this would cap it for Watford.

:37:29.:37:39.

Too many numbers in there. Chambers. Walcott onside. Deflected... And

:37:40.:37:56.

wide! It is a corner kick. And when Arsenal see moments like that, do

:37:57.:38:00.

they start to think it is going to be one of those days? Gibbs,

:38:01.:38:02.

Welbeck... Sanchez. Welbeck scores! Have Arsenal got

:38:03.:38:20.

enough time to save their defence of the FA Cup, and their season? Three

:38:21.:38:28.

minutes to go. Lovely give and go and a really sweet finish from a

:38:29.:38:33.

tight angle. Danny Welbeck has breathed new life into this tie of

:38:34.:38:51.

surely they can't do it... Sanchez! Iwobi, off the post! Gibbs! Welbeck,

:38:52.:39:00.

it is wide! Impossibly wide! So unlucky with the first shot. This

:39:01.:39:07.

has to go in! A glaring miss, and the holders are on the brink of

:39:08.:39:11.

going out. Four minutes of stoppage time. Forward by Coquelin. Wide

:39:12.:39:26.

again! And Arsenal fans will say, why didn't he start? He has made a

:39:27.:39:32.

real difference. Coquelin releases Gibbs. Prodl gets it away. The

:39:33.:39:45.

referee checks his watch. Gibbs with the throw. Watford are at Wembley

:39:46.:39:49.

and Arsenal's long run in the FA Cup comes to an end. It is the end of

:39:50.:39:58.

their long, long success in this competition. And it might well

:39:59.:40:05.

herald the end of an era. Strange, because it has come to an

:40:06.:40:09.

end on a day when we felt that our performance deserved a win. But

:40:10.:40:13.

let's give credit to Watford for their few chances, they took them

:40:14.:40:17.

all. But overall we put a decent performance in and it is sad,

:40:18.:40:21.

because we gave everything. I am really happy for my players and for

:40:22.:40:26.

the fans. It is an amazing prize for the fans who have followed us all

:40:27.:40:32.

year. I thought we deserved it. We stuck to the game plan quite well.

:40:33.:40:33.

The counter-attacked well. We stuck to the game plan quite well.

:40:34.:40:38.

opportunities in the first half which we did not take. Second-half,

:40:39.:40:42.

two chances, two goals. Who do you want in the semifinal? Palace. Why

:40:43.:40:53.

not? Any team. I think it is going to beer great day to go there.

:40:54.:41:02.

Another win, why not? I agree with Troy Deeney 100%. He said about

:41:03.:41:08.

Arsene Wenger saying that they had had a 70% possession today, but they

:41:09.:41:12.

have not done enough to go and win the game. Watford today had a good

:41:13.:41:17.

game plan. They tried to force Arsenal into wide, crossing

:41:18.:41:20.

positions continuously. They defended between the goals really,

:41:21.:41:25.

really well. Arsenal kept on crossing the ball into good areas,

:41:26.:41:30.

but they did not have bodies in the right areas, did not get bodies

:41:31.:41:36.

forward quick enough. But I thought it was quite any less from Arsenal.

:41:37.:41:40.

This was really the best of the chances they had in the first half.

:41:41.:41:47.

Did not really cause Watford to many problems, I did not feel. This was a

:41:48.:41:53.

great chance from Ake, but he is in a position to do that. He is able to

:41:54.:42:04.

prevent it going on goal. This was Nyom, brilliant defending, getting

:42:05.:42:07.

himself in a good position. It is the awareness which is excellent, I

:42:08.:42:12.

felt. We spoke about Aston Villa not defending as a team, the full-backs

:42:13.:42:17.

being wide. And here we can see the full-backs narrow, defending as a

:42:18.:42:22.

team, defending as a unit. That is what this performance has been based

:42:23.:42:26.

on. Half-cocked there, fantastic challenge. When you play Arsenal,

:42:27.:42:31.

you know they will try to come through the middle of you. --

:42:32.:42:37.

Cathcart there. So you back yourself to defend the width? Yes, which is

:42:38.:42:44.

what they have done. They have said, we are going to give you the ball

:42:45.:42:47.

out wide and say to you, go on, cross it, you have got one man in

:42:48.:42:52.

the box and we fancy ourselves to defend it. And they did. So, compare

:42:53.:43:00.

and contrast. It is what Deeney said - they had a game plan, but they

:43:01.:43:05.

also tried to hit them on the counterattack. We have look at the

:43:06.:43:09.

linkup play between Deeney and Ighalo throughout this season. This

:43:10.:43:15.

was Ighalo in a good position. It is a poor pass at the end of it. Ighalo

:43:16.:43:21.

gets wrong side of the Arsenal defenders - poor pass. He knows it.

:43:22.:43:27.

But this goal said it all. Arsenal do not get themselves in position.

:43:28.:43:33.

Sanchez needs to get himself back in there. It is still 0-0 at this

:43:34.:43:41.

stage. Deeney just outmuscles the two of them. Then Gabriel gets

:43:42.:43:50.

around the defender to finish. This is not look, getting into a good

:43:51.:43:57.

wide position, brilliant downward header from Deeney creating another

:43:58.:44:02.

opening. And this is where the goal comes from. Ighalo helps it into an

:44:03.:44:07.

area. Again, the hold-up play from Deeney freeze it up - and it is a

:44:08.:44:14.

brilliant strike. I would not question the goalkeeper so much

:44:15.:44:21.

there. I would question the defender turning his back on it. Arsenal were

:44:22.:44:25.

not in the game until the substitution. Yes, it was too

:44:26.:44:32.

little, too late. It is strange with Arsenal were they go from Tibi of

:44:33.:44:36.

course,, was ashen football, and then when they are chasing the game,

:44:37.:44:39.

they end up launching it and actually they get some joy from it.

:44:40.:44:48.

What about the Gabriel tackle? I actually thought it was a red card.

:44:49.:44:53.

I look at it a few times. Andre Marriner is in a perfect position.

:44:54.:44:58.

It looks like it is a wholehearted challenge between two players. But

:44:59.:45:04.

it is two footed, it is reckless. I think it is a red card. If you

:45:05.:45:09.

contrast it yesterday with Mane's red card, Lee Mason was guessing

:45:10.:45:13.

because he did not seek it. There is an argument it is a yellow

:45:14.:45:25.

card. It is a committed challenge, it is an FA Cup quarterfinal, it is

:45:26.:45:32.

important to set a marker. It is a full-blooded, committed challenge,

:45:33.:45:35.

probably a yellow card, I like to see tackling in football!

:45:36.:45:37.

Manchester United were knocked out by Arsenal at Old Trafford

:45:38.:45:40.

Could West Ham do the same this year?

:45:41.:45:43.

COMMENTATOR: After their defeat at Anfield, Manchester United's Euro

:45:44.:45:55.

referendum is looking more out than in so the FA Cup might be a last

:45:56.:45:59.

chance to salvage something from the season but nobody

:46:00.:46:03.

chance to salvage something from the on current form, five wins and a

:46:04.:46:11.

draw in their last six. Manchester United have not won the FA Cup since

:46:12.:46:14.

2004 but they have won their United have not won the FA Cup since

:46:15.:46:18.

four games here. West Winston Reid and Andy Carroll.

:46:19.:46:26.

Darren Randolph is the preferred cup keeper and Slaven Bilic is sticking

:46:27.:46:33.

with him. The 132nd meeting between Manchester United and West Ham

:46:34.:46:38.

United, the very first was an FA Cup game in 1911 which West Ham won 1-0.

:46:39.:46:44.

Good control and a good ball to Emenike! A shake of the head from

:46:45.:46:54.

David de Gea. The beginning of a fist pump from Slaven Bilic as

:46:55.:46:59.

Carroll played him in, it was a chance for Emenike and Bilic knows

:47:00.:47:06.

it. West Ham FA Cup winners in 1980, Trevor Brooking and all that, but

:47:07.:47:10.

they have only reached two semifinals since. Noble finding

:47:11.:47:19.

Creswell. His ball in, Carroll! That is what he feeds on, Andy Carroll,

:47:20.:47:25.

and if Creswell can keep delivering, Carroll will keep getting on the end

:47:26.:47:31.

of them. It was a good ball and he met it really well, didn't quite get

:47:32.:47:36.

over it enough. One manager stays firmly in his seat while the other

:47:37.:47:45.

almost never takes his seat. Noble, he wriggled between two beautifully,

:47:46.:47:51.

away towards Payet, Creswell on the overlap and Payet users him. Here is

:47:52.:47:58.

Emenike! Great chance, really good West Ham move. Emenike couldn't

:47:59.:48:04.

finish it but lovely movement from Noble and Creswell did brilliantly.

:48:05.:48:11.

Emenike with a free header which he has put straight into the gloves of

:48:12.:48:19.

David de Gea. It deserved better. Suspended, Juan Mata, Ashley Young

:48:20.:48:21.

just in front of him, Borthwick Jackson is there. Martial, in

:48:22.:48:28.

towards Rojo, he pulled it back to Herrera! Take nothing away from

:48:29.:48:35.

Aaron Cresswell because he made it tough for Herrera. It was good from

:48:36.:48:40.

Manchester United, watch Creswell. He made it difficult for Herrera who

:48:41.:48:45.

snatched at it and it was a wild finish. Lindegaard, now Varela,

:48:46.:48:55.

Lindegaard on the return, was he touched by Payet? Free kick given

:48:56.:48:59.

and a yellow card for Dimitri Payet. It was a flowing, quick, incisive

:49:00.:49:05.

counter. Payet goes into the book. Is this the breakthrough they have

:49:06.:49:10.

been waiting for? Martial did well to get over that, the shouts for

:49:11.:49:16.

handball more from the crowd than the players. The longer it is 0-0,

:49:17.:49:20.

the more you feel a single goal might put one of these teams into

:49:21.:49:27.

the semifinal. Deep cross, taken away by Antonio, important touch.

:49:28.:49:37.

Martial. Left by Rashford, Parreira. Reid blocked it but what with? A big

:49:38.:49:43.

shout, Reid hurled himself at it, the ball hit his arm was my view.

:49:44.:49:51.

No, if it comes off your side onto your arm, you can't give that. --

:49:52.:50:05.

off your thigh. Noble. Payet, nicely around Fellaini, was he caught? The

:50:06.:50:11.

referee is not interested, Martin Atkinson says no. Everybody in

:50:12.:50:17.

claret and blue says yes, not least Dimitri Payet. Martin Atkinson said

:50:18.:50:26.

no penalty. Rojo slides in and for me that it's a good decision. There

:50:27.:50:32.

was a slight touch but Payet was on his way before contact was made and

:50:33.:50:37.

I think Martin Atkinson has made an excellent decision. Fellaini got his

:50:38.:50:45.

foot in, Blind is there. Payet goes down, free kick given. He got hold

:50:46.:50:54.

of his arm, Daley Blind. This is almost 30 yards out. The West Ham

:50:55.:51:01.

fans have a great view of this at that end. Dimitri Payet. It is

:51:02.:51:10.

brilliant! That is fantastic from Dimitri Payet! And West Ham are

:51:11.:51:16.

leading at Old Trafford with an extraordinary free kick from their

:51:17.:51:23.

man of the season, Dimitri Payet! What a strike. Not just any

:51:24.:51:28.

goalkeeper he has beaten, it is David de Gea. That is magnificent.

:51:29.:51:39.

It is unsaveable. Dimitri Payet has scored some beauties this season but

:51:40.:51:44.

that might be the daddy of them all. Dimitri Payet, West Ham celebrate

:51:45.:51:48.

and they are 22 minutes away from the FA Cup semifinal. Louis Van Gaal

:51:49.:51:54.

looking very glum. You know what would happen in the old days,

:51:55.:51:59.

Manchester United would pummel West Ham into submission and probably win

:52:00.:52:02.

it with two goals in the 98th minute. Herrera. Nicely clipped and

:52:03.:52:14.

into the back of the net! They have found the goal through Martial! A

:52:15.:52:20.

lifeline! Anthony Martial from the tightest of angles and it is 1-1.

:52:21.:52:27.

More than just an equaliser, it might almost be salvation, we will

:52:28.:52:32.

see. It was well worked, Parreira did ever so well, lovely clipped

:52:33.:52:40.

ball and Martial got their -- Herrera. Sakho was beaten at the

:52:41.:52:46.

back post by the hunger of Martial and it is 1-1. Seven minutes left.

:52:47.:52:56.

As this came in, have a look at Randolph, impeded by Schweinsteiger

:52:57.:53:04.

and ending up in his own net. The German has taken the goalkeeper out

:53:05.:53:05.

of the game. Memphis. Lanzini overran that, Schweinsteiger

:53:06.:53:18.

went into the Challenge Tour McCarrick can hit it and it is a

:53:19.:53:25.

foot wide -- into the challenge, Carrick can hit it. It just curled

:53:26.:53:35.

away a bit too much. A minimum of three added minutes. Antonio for

:53:36.:53:43.

West Ham. Antonio still going! Good save by de Gea! Brilliant save. How

:53:44.:53:52.

many pats on the back has he deserved this week? Through the legs

:53:53.:53:58.

of Lanzini and heading for the corner but the big green glove tips

:53:59.:53:59.

it away. The equaliser, was your goalkeeper

:54:00.:54:08.

fouled by Bastian Schweinsteiger? Yes, I'm not moaning and I don't

:54:09.:54:12.

want to spoil the game by talking about the referee, it was hard for

:54:13.:54:16.

him but there were two crucial decisions. A penalty on Dimitri

:54:17.:54:23.

Payet, that is a penalty, Rojo slides in, nowhere near the ball,

:54:24.:54:30.

not nasty but missed timing. And the equaliser, an obvious foul from

:54:31.:54:33.

Schweinsteiger on Randolph. I can imagine that he says that. I think

:54:34.:54:43.

his own defender pushes Schweinsteiger and I'm happy my

:54:44.:54:47.

players could show their spirit again, especially after a very nasty

:54:48.:54:52.

week. Was that the best free kick you have scored? TRANSLATION: Yes,

:54:53.:54:59.

it was the best, especially in this stadium which I have a particular

:55:00.:55:02.

affection for because it is one of the best in the Premier League. It

:55:03.:55:07.

is a good day for me. It will be difficult in the replay because

:55:08.:55:11.

everybody knows what a terrific season they are having. Yes, the

:55:12.:55:15.

same today, they are a good team with terrific talent. It is a tough

:55:16.:55:22.

place to go anyway, we know that, but it is an even game and we will

:55:23.:55:26.

go there believing we can get through. I fancy us because we will

:55:27.:55:33.

be even more confident now. It will be another epic game, it is

:55:34.:55:38.

quarterfinal replay against them at Upton Park, last game of FA Cup

:55:39.:55:44.

ever, it is like... You couldn't ask for more, it is like Spielberg! And

:55:45.:55:49.

thank you for the translation of Dimitri Payet! Was it a penalty? He

:55:50.:55:57.

was on a yellow card, Payet, I disagree with Slaven Bilic. I think

:55:58.:56:01.

he has dived and he is lucky not to get a second yellow. There is

:56:02.:56:10.

virtually no contact. It is when Payet is beyond Rojo and he kicks

:56:11.:56:15.

his leg back into him. It was the same with Delaney at Selhurst Park

:56:16.:56:20.

last week, the defender is to stay on his feet and he gives Payet the

:56:21.:56:24.

opportunity but it is not a penalty. This was ten minutes later, he

:56:25.:56:30.

leaves his leg in. He knows he has a chance of getting it outside the

:56:31.:56:37.

box, more so than in the box. He had been practising from this range

:56:38.:56:41.

before the game and had five or six range finders I would call them but

:56:42.:56:47.

none of them went in. But in the game, he has scored a wonderful

:56:48.:56:56.

goal. Is this Groundhog Day for United? After about 70 minutes, they

:56:57.:57:03.

were quite poor, they had a lot of possession but in the final third

:57:04.:57:09.

they were so sloppy, giving it away. It allowed counterattacks from West

:57:10.:57:13.

Ham and West Ham played well and created four or five good chances in

:57:14.:57:17.

the first half. They could have had a couple of goals. United

:57:18.:57:23.

continuously gave it away. No feel for

:57:24.:57:24.

until the substitution when Schweinsteiger came on, suddenly he

:57:25.:57:30.

brought Schweinsteiger came on, suddenly he

:57:31.:57:35.

passing forward. He took positions where West Ham could not get near

:57:36.:57:39.

passing forward. He took positions him and he was moving it on. Because

:57:40.:57:43.

he does not take as many touches? Totally, moving it quickly and

:57:44.:57:48.

getting them into better positions, turning and looking for different

:57:49.:57:55.

passes. It is a poor touch in the end from Martial but it was his

:57:56.:57:58.

awareness, freeing up end from Martial but it was his

:57:59.:58:03.

better positions than him. And until then they had been really pedantic.

:58:04.:58:09.

They don't really get any penetration behind, runners into

:58:10.:58:13.

space, everything is in front of you, neat and possession based. The

:58:14.:58:19.

sides we have played down the years, they got you under pressure, you

:58:20.:58:22.

never got out of your half and they kept coming at you. A foul on

:58:23.:58:29.

Randolph, on Schweinsteiger, both? We have to give a bit of praise

:58:30.:58:34.

Randolph, on Schweinsteiger, both? the goal itself and what Martial did

:58:35.:58:38.

to get into position. He holds it up, gets it out wide but he doesn't

:58:39.:58:45.

stand still. He gets himself into the area, great ball from Ander

:58:46.:58:49.

Herrera and he makes up the ground but it is a foul on Randolph. We

:58:50.:58:55.

talked about it earlier with Harry Kane, good strikers finding space.

:58:56.:59:04.
