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. | |
If that is outside the box, the referee has to give that. Antonio | :59:05. | :59:11. | |
tries to step across but two wrongs don't make a right, it was a foul on | :59:12. | :59:12. | |
Randolph. Thank you very much. And if you missed any | :59:13. | :59:15. | |
of this weekend's action, then highlights are on the BBC | :59:16. | :59:17. | |
Sport website and app. And then tomorrow, the semifinal | :59:18. | :59:19. | |
draw is during The One Show So the holders out - | :59:20. | :59:22. | |
five teams are left in, and all will believe this | :59:23. | :59:26. | |
year will be their year. | :59:27. | :59:29. |
