:00:55. > :01:00.Let me tell you a story about Newcastle and Sunderland. Good
:01:01. > :01:11.fences make good neighbours, a decade defining game which faces old
:01:12. > :01:15.and new. Some with a .1, survival. Melancholy in Manchester, the
:01:16. > :01:24.leaders are almost out of sight, no time to bully -- to blink. Tottenham
:01:25. > :01:28.coming of age and learning new tricks but they wear, the underdogs
:01:29. > :01:33.bite. For the Saints, a crusade to Europe is within reach but Jurgen
:01:34. > :01:43.Klopp and Liverpool are at last on the same page. Four great matches,
:01:44. > :01:45.all with their own stories, twists and turns. Reading between the
:01:46. > :01:51.lines, Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy. All of Saturday's action to
:01:52. > :01:57.come but first up, Southampton against Liverpool.
:01:58. > :02:03.Southampton finished seventh in the Premier League last season,
:02:04. > :02:10.Liverpool six, if they are to improve on that, victory today is
:02:11. > :02:16.vital. Jose Fonte returns, the only change from their victory over Stoke
:02:17. > :02:22.where Graziano Pelle scored both goals, Victor Wanyama is on the
:02:23. > :02:31.bench after completing a five match suspension. Jon Flanagan Captains
:02:32. > :02:38.Liverpool for the first time, Jo Allen starts in midfield. Liverpool
:02:39. > :02:42.are unbeaten in their last eight matches in all competitions up
:02:43. > :02:49.against a Southampton side who have lost just one of their last six at
:02:50. > :02:56.Saint Mary. Flanagan steps away from Davis. Southampton might be away
:02:57. > :03:04.here, Pele making the run here. He goes down in the penalty area, Roger
:03:05. > :03:12.East says no spot kick. The challenge came in from a Dejan
:03:13. > :03:24.Lovren. Watch the left arm of the Liverpool defender. The referee says
:03:25. > :03:26.no spot kick and it remains 0-0. No way through for Martina and
:03:27. > :03:36.Southampton missing their right back at the moment. Coutinho, what a
:03:37. > :03:45.strike from Philippe Coutinho. He has done it again, a moment of magic
:03:46. > :03:48.at Trafford on Thursday and another wonderful girl. Southampton always
:03:49. > :03:53.struggling in the right back position here. They're still looked
:03:54. > :04:00.to be not much on their own until the shot and suddenly it was beyond
:04:01. > :04:03.Forster. Just creeping inside the post and Philippe Coutinho gets his
:04:04. > :04:15.ninth goal of the season. What a goal that was. A decent week so far
:04:16. > :04:22.for Liverpool and Jurgen Klopp. Van Dijk with a gap in front of him.
:04:23. > :04:30.Goes towards Tadic. Cannot get the cross away, Nathaniel Clyne with the
:04:31. > :04:40.clearance. Sturridge making a run through the middle. Trying to set up
:04:41. > :04:46.Sturridge, onto the left foot and in and Liverpool double their lead.
:04:47. > :04:51.Daniel Sturridge got a couple in Liverpool's 6-1 victory here in
:04:52. > :05:04.December and Liverpool have started superbly. There was suddenly a gap.
:05:05. > :05:08.Sturridge exploit it to the maximum. Fraser Forster with so many clean
:05:09. > :05:15.sheets of late but beaten for a second time after a cynical finish
:05:16. > :05:23.from Sturridge. Roy Hodgson will be delighted to see Daniel Sturridge in
:05:24. > :05:30.prolific goal-scoring form. Liverpool can stream forward again,
:05:31. > :05:34.in towards Joe Allen, bearing down on car and forced up with the save
:05:35. > :05:41.only as far as Sturridge and out for a throw in on the far side. Fraser
:05:42. > :05:49.Forster with an outstanding stop to prevent Liverpool scoring a third.
:05:50. > :05:52.Southampton always chasing this. Ronald Koeman said he wanted his
:05:53. > :05:57.players to bury mind the heavy defeat to Liverpool in the League
:05:58. > :06:07.Cup and go for revenge, it has not turned out that way so far. Lallana
:06:08. > :06:12.with three around him but manages to find Flanagan. He won't find anyone
:06:13. > :06:19.with a Liverpool shirt but wins a corner. Martina puts it behind.
:06:20. > :06:26.Sadio Mane available after his red card at Stoke last week was
:06:27. > :06:29.rescinded. Towards station and Lovren are only as far as Joe Allen
:06:30. > :06:35.and he has scored a third for Liverpool. Fraser Forster
:06:36. > :06:40.complaining there was a foul in front of him. And indeed the flag is
:06:41. > :06:45.up on the near side and the goal will not count. As soon as the ball
:06:46. > :06:51.hit the back of the net, Fraser Forster was out to complain at the
:06:52. > :07:00.officials. Offside against Sakho and it remains too- zero.
:07:01. > :07:10.Lovely ball through, he was being held by Martin Skrtel, a Southampton
:07:11. > :07:18.penalty and a yellow card for the Liverpool substitute. He has only
:07:19. > :07:23.been on since half-time and already come up Martin Skrtel has given away
:07:24. > :07:26.a penalty and been booked. Southampton felt they should have
:07:27. > :07:32.had a penalty in the early minutes of the first half. They have got one
:07:33. > :07:38.early in the second. A huge chance for Southampton to get back in the
:07:39. > :07:41.game but Mane's penalty has been saved by Simon Mignolet, the
:07:42. > :07:47.Liverpool goalkeeper who has had little to do this afternoon goes the
:07:48. > :07:56.right way. Liverpool maintained their 2-0 advantage. Contrast in
:07:57. > :08:01.reactions in the technical areas. Southampton supporters may feel this
:08:02. > :08:11.is not going to be their day now. Origi dispossessed by Wanyama.
:08:12. > :08:17.Davis, a Southampton free kick. Much better from Southampton in the
:08:18. > :08:22.second half. Davis, towards van Dijk and across the face of goal and a
:08:23. > :08:26.Southampton could not apply a finishing touch. Van Dijk winning
:08:27. > :08:38.the header, Sadio Mane stretching but never going to get there. Pelle
:08:39. > :08:44.in towards Mane, Sadio Mane gets away from Sakho and Southampton are
:08:45. > :08:51.back in it. Sadio Mane, who saw his penalty saved early in the second
:08:52. > :08:56.half makes Martial ends with a goal to half the deficit. Liverpool
:08:57. > :09:04.needlessly conceding possession. Mane with the shot from a tight
:09:05. > :09:05.angle, had to play it across goal and Southampton are right back in
:09:06. > :09:18.this match. Davis, robbed by Lallana, he has
:09:19. > :09:30.Benteke to his right. Towards Benteke, Christian Benteke and it is
:09:31. > :09:35.wide. Benteke clearly onside. Two against two, Forster narrowing the
:09:36. > :09:41.options but wide of the post. What a chance for Liverpool. Might
:09:42. > :09:49.Liverpool come to regret that Miss Y Christian Benteke? Pelle drops for
:09:50. > :09:57.Davis, Pelle, Graziano Pelle, outstanding. From 2-0 down,
:09:58. > :10:01.Southampton are back level at 2-2 and of their pressure in this second
:10:02. > :10:07.half has paid dividends. He broke his goal drought with both of them
:10:08. > :10:13.at Stoke last weekend and now, Graziano Pelle has three goals in
:10:14. > :10:22.his last two appearances. What a finish that is. Beyond Mignolet. And
:10:23. > :10:36.now, Southampton may feel they can go on and win this.
:10:37. > :11:03.High but not very far. Martin Skrtel did not get much on it. Through two
:11:04. > :11:07.Mane, Sadio Mane, what a turnaround. Any memories of that penalty that
:11:08. > :11:12.was saved have been banished as Ronald Koeman trots down the
:11:13. > :11:21.touchline to join in the celebrations. Simply astonishing.
:11:22. > :11:25.Liverpool were so much in charge of this match in the first half but
:11:26. > :11:31.they have fallen apart in the second period. Mignolet's clearance had
:11:32. > :11:41.plenty of height but no distance away from the Liverpool goal. Sadio
:11:42. > :11:48.Mane with a fine finish. It takes him to nine on the season. It may
:11:49. > :11:53.take Southampton to three points. That looked so improbable earlier
:11:54. > :12:02.today, incredible. The Liverpool supporters have been silenced. What
:12:03. > :12:08.a turnaround. His team were so much in charge of this match. Southampton
:12:09. > :12:16.just need to get this ball away from their own penalty area and keep it
:12:17. > :12:22.away from there. A hugely improbable result at half-time when Liverpool
:12:23. > :12:27.were 2-0 ahead and in charge, comfortably in charge. Southampton
:12:28. > :12:32.have turned it around and a huge victory for Southampton in the race
:12:33. > :12:38.for European qualification. Southampton 3-2 Liverpool. We came
:12:39. > :12:43.back with the right mentality, in the first half, the guys did not
:12:44. > :12:47.have any energy but we had an amazing comeback, everyone did an
:12:48. > :12:50.amazing job. First half we were brilliant, played really good
:12:51. > :12:56.football and created more problems than I could imagine but we could
:12:57. > :12:59.not close the game at the first half and have two admit the game can
:13:00. > :13:07.change in the second half. That is how football is. It was the first
:13:08. > :13:10.time I run because I have my Achilles operation and it was so
:13:11. > :13:17.emotional, the game today, coming back after 2-0 down, difficult
:13:18. > :13:22.moments after half-time. Very proud of the players and what we showed
:13:23. > :13:28.today, 3-2 against Liverpool is great for everybody. Big moments
:13:29. > :13:32.throughout the game, a big moment when ris Jim Benteke went through,
:13:33. > :13:46.you had strong words with him in the end? Of course not, sometimes we
:13:47. > :13:50.have to talk to players, that is my job and if they are going off to the
:13:51. > :13:52.national team, and I card make phone calls all the time so I had a few
:13:53. > :14:04.words, it is OK. Nothing else. Liverpool set off like a train, and
:14:05. > :14:11.Jurgen Klopp called the first half perfect. There was some sublime
:14:12. > :14:17.football, but Southampton helped them a lot, let's just say that.
:14:18. > :14:22.This was the right back in the middle of the pitch. Vacate the
:14:23. > :14:26.right back area. The report are good at counterattack and we have seen it
:14:27. > :14:32.away from home any times. Coutinho is on fire at the moment. The keeper
:14:33. > :14:39.should get it from that far out. It was a poor goal. This one,
:14:40. > :14:44.Southampton played the first half like a cup tie. They have got eight
:14:45. > :14:51.men, nearly, in the final third of the pitch. One pass, and you have
:14:52. > :15:04.two versus two. You have pace and skill. At this point, it looked like
:15:05. > :15:11.the score could be anything. Southampton were committing too many
:15:12. > :15:16.men forward. As soon as there is a turnover, it is two versus two
:15:17. > :15:24.again. And it wasn't as if there was any need for it. But it is terrific
:15:25. > :15:29.football. How Joe Allen misses, I do not know, because that would have
:15:30. > :15:34.been game over. Sloppy pass again. Here are your two full-backs. Look
:15:35. > :15:40.how high up the pitch they are. Three versus two. Another poor
:15:41. > :15:47.touch. This time, it is storage. They were wasteful. They were, but
:15:48. > :15:51.sometimes you have to give the manager credit. He made two
:15:52. > :15:56.substitutions. Wanyama did well when he came on, and Mane took the game
:15:57. > :16:02.to Liverpool and got them on the back foot. He played with a point to
:16:03. > :16:06.prove. He doesn't look the happiest man in the world coming on to stop
:16:07. > :16:12.and he didn't even in the end. He missed a penalty early on. Terrific
:16:13. > :16:17.save Ron Mignolet. But it spurred him on and he kept going. He was a
:16:18. > :16:26.threat. He tried to make things happen. But when he did get his
:16:27. > :16:30.chances, his first goal was a superb finish on his so-called weaker foot.
:16:31. > :16:34.Liverpool couldn't handle him. It was strange how Liverpool's
:16:35. > :16:38.confidence was drained by Southampton's performance in the
:16:39. > :16:47.second half. He popped up all over the place. He didn't just stay on
:16:48. > :16:56.the right. And he kept going right to the end. There was some poor
:16:57. > :16:59.defending by Liverpool. I don't know why he looked so bemused and
:17:00. > :17:03.disappointed, because it was a terrific performance from him to
:17:04. > :17:07.stop on the two sets of clips of the interesting thing is that there were
:17:08. > :17:11.less bodies flying forward to Southampton when you are showing
:17:12. > :17:18.them Mane's stuff, so Wanyama was more disciplined. They all were. The
:17:19. > :17:25.way they played in the first half was like a Sunday league game. But
:17:26. > :17:29.there are some clubs criticising their managers for doing the same
:17:30. > :17:35.things. Koeman tries different things. He has switched formations
:17:36. > :17:39.this season. He is a brave manager, would you say? Well, I would not
:17:40. > :17:43.call that brave. He had to do something. What was happening in the
:17:44. > :17:49.first half was not acceptable. That is what substitutes for, you want to
:17:50. > :17:55.make a difference. And the two guys he brought on made a huge
:17:56. > :18:00.difference. Liverpool have dropped from winning positions by 15 points
:18:01. > :18:05.this season, 11 of those under Jurgen Klopp. What does that tell
:18:06. > :18:08.you? It tells me that they are playing the first half of games with
:18:09. > :18:12.a high intensity that the players cannot maintain over 90 minutes. It
:18:13. > :18:20.is a very difficult way to play football for a full game. Would a
:18:21. > :18:27.full pre-season for him help? It would. At the moment, they are very
:18:28. > :18:32.Jekyll and Hyde in their performance. He did seem to admonish
:18:33. > :18:38.Christian Benteke at the end for this miss. He did. It is a very good
:18:39. > :18:45.opportunity to go 3-1 up. It is a decent first touch, but just
:18:46. > :18:51.off-balance, and he scuffs it. He is getting all excited and thinks that
:18:52. > :18:55.is going into. I don't think he fancies him. I understand that he
:18:56. > :18:59.didn't sign him, but I would not take too kindly if I was a player
:19:00. > :19:05.and worth to come on the beach in front of 32,000 people and let his
:19:06. > :19:09.feelings be known. Tell him off, but do it in the dressing room, not in
:19:10. > :19:16.front of the fans. I couldn't agree more. Sometimes, he is great, Jurgen
:19:17. > :19:20.Klopp. He has been a breath of fresh air, but sometimes he is overly
:19:21. > :19:24.animated on the touchline. I agree, if you are going to tell someone
:19:25. > :19:27.off, do it inside. Did that ever happened to you? Not on the pitch,
:19:28. > :19:33.plenty of times in the dressing room. And I know what your response
:19:34. > :19:36.might have been! After Leicester's win over Crystal
:19:37. > :19:40.Palace, three points were a must for Tottenham as they welcomed
:19:41. > :19:44.Bournemouth and Simon Brotherton to White Hart Lane.
:19:45. > :19:50.It is Tottenham's turn to play Sunday catch up once again as they
:19:51. > :19:54.look to close the gap at the top to five points. Bournemouth were beaten
:19:55. > :19:58.5-1 when they met earlier this season, but they are a different
:19:59. > :20:04.proposition now. Only the top two have won more points since the start
:20:05. > :20:10.of December. The team for Tottenham is straightforward. It is the same
:20:11. > :20:13.starting XI as Aston Villa last week. Harry Kane scored a hat-trick
:20:14. > :20:18.at Bournemouth earlier in the season in the 5-1 win. Bournemouth have won
:20:19. > :20:33.their last three games and make one change today.
:20:34. > :20:38.The margin for error gets smaller with every passing week for
:20:39. > :20:44.Tottenham and everybody else, as they try to hang on to Leicester's
:20:45. > :20:59.coat-tails. Tottenham get us under way today.
:21:00. > :21:05.Bournemouth travelling to White Hart Lane in fine fettle, winning the
:21:06. > :21:09.last three Premier League matches they played, including 3-2 against
:21:10. > :21:15.Swansea City last weekend. They have won eight of the last extreme, and
:21:16. > :21:24.just four defeats in the last 18 matches. Tottenham looking to start
:21:25. > :21:33.early here, incredible! Tottenham ahead in the first minute of the
:21:34. > :21:37.game. Walker's shot, Kane moved in. Bournemouth scored after 39 seconds
:21:38. > :21:43.in the reverse fixture through Matt Ritchie, and Tottenham have beaten
:21:44. > :21:49.it this time. 44 seconds, the time of the goal. Did Kane get a touch
:21:50. > :21:56.here? He is onside as the ball comes in, and Harry Kane gets the final
:21:57. > :22:02.touch. Tottenham Hotspur race into an early lead. Kane, who scored a
:22:03. > :22:08.hat-trick in the first game, scores at the start of this one. Mixed bag
:22:09. > :22:12.for Tottenham in their last three league games. A whim, a defeat and a
:22:13. > :22:25.draw. They need the three points today, which would reduce that
:22:26. > :22:29.deficit down to five points. There is a confident swagger about Spurs
:22:30. > :22:37.here. What about that for a finish from Harry Kane! Super play from
:22:38. > :22:41.Tottenham. Two up inside a quarter of an hour. And Kane now has five
:22:42. > :22:51.goals this season against Bournemouth. Perfectly weighted by
:22:52. > :22:54.Dele Alli. You knew what the probable outcome was as soon as
:22:55. > :22:59.Harry Kane got to the ball on the edge of the penalty area.
:23:00. > :23:04.Bournemouth are already in real trouble at White Hart Lane is
:23:05. > :23:08.Tottenham make a superb start to the match. There has been much to admire
:23:09. > :23:13.about Tottenham's play so far, and we have seen nothing from
:23:14. > :23:14.Bournemouth. Tottenham looking for what would be a 17th win of the
:23:15. > :23:34.season. The flag stays down here. It is
:23:35. > :23:38.Eriksen! And Bournemouth's defenders are all looking at each other.
:23:39. > :23:42.Quizzical looks, arms out wide, shoulders shrugging. There is
:23:43. > :23:45.clearly a debate going on among the Bournemouth team, because they are
:23:46. > :24:04.struggling to deal with Tottenham here.
:24:05. > :24:18.And Alli can't reach it. Scrambled away by Bournemouth. Lovely piece of
:24:19. > :24:21.improvisation. Lamela could not get on the end of it. You would think he
:24:22. > :24:34.would look happier than he does at the moment. The flag has gone up,
:24:35. > :24:39.doesn't count. A touch from Harry Kane on the way in. The flag was
:24:40. > :24:41.quickly raised, long before the ball hit the back of the net. Let's have
:24:42. > :24:59.a look again. Kane, just offside. We have not seen much of Max Gradel
:25:00. > :25:23.thus far. The ref just had a look to see if
:25:24. > :25:26.there was a major advantage, but not the case, so Bournemouth will have
:25:27. > :25:33.the opportunity to put the ball into the Tottenham penalty area here.
:25:34. > :25:39.Steve Cook has chipped in with two goals in the last really games. He
:25:40. > :25:53.was unable to direct the header goalwards. Oh, that was just out of
:25:54. > :25:57.reach. Very nearly three, with half-time on the horizon. Sloppy
:25:58. > :25:59.play from Bournemouth, and it was almost punished as Eriksen ran in
:26:00. > :26:23.unmarked into the penalty area. Appeals to the referee, and gets the
:26:24. > :26:32.free kick. Tried to break free from the close attentions of Danny Rose.
:26:33. > :26:45.It will be a corner. Bournemouth are looking to make a bright start to
:26:46. > :27:05.this second half. It is with Kyle Walker... Well, in
:27:06. > :27:11.the first minute of the match, it was Walker's shot that was just
:27:12. > :27:12.turned in by Kane. And he almost returned the favour by setting up
:27:13. > :27:36.his team-mate. An easy goal! Tap into Christian
:27:37. > :27:39.Eriksen. 3-0, Tottenham, in the second minute of the second half.
:27:40. > :27:45.And it is the easiest finish that Eriksen will have all Christian
:27:46. > :27:55.season, Lamela there at the start, Kane in space, quick to shoot. And
:27:56. > :28:00.it couldn't have fallen any more invitingly for Christian Eriksen
:28:01. > :28:08.than it did. Tottenham can now set the cruise control setting for the
:28:09. > :28:12.remainder of the game. Bournemouth have been beaten only four times on
:28:13. > :28:21.the road before today. They have a solid record on their travels.
:28:22. > :28:32.Patient build-up here. Eriksen with a delightful touch, brilliant
:28:33. > :28:37.build-up, Dele Alli unable to add the finishing touch. What a superb
:28:38. > :28:43.goal that would have been. A short pass into Eriksen, clear of the
:28:44. > :28:50.defence and Dele Alli just wide of the bowl with the shot. Tom Carroll,
:28:51. > :28:56.plenty of White shirts forward here, Spurs looking for that fourth. Ryan
:28:57. > :29:02.Mason making the run away from the defence. A vital interception and
:29:03. > :29:06.Eriksen blasts it at the goal again as Francis picks self up and jobs
:29:07. > :29:12.away from the goal line, great running by Mason to get it in
:29:13. > :29:16.towards Kane and Tottenham Hotspur in control from start to finish will
:29:17. > :29:23.win for the 17th time this season and close the gap to five points
:29:24. > :29:29.again on Leicester. In England we describe that as a good day at the
:29:30. > :29:36.office? It was, Germany was a bad day at the office but today, with
:29:37. > :29:43.the first action we scored and then we managed the game, very happy and
:29:44. > :29:47.pleased with the performance. A really bad day for us, worst
:29:48. > :29:53.possible start, we were slow out of the traps, not ourselves, in
:29:54. > :29:57.possession, out of possession. They are a very good team, the best team
:29:58. > :30:01.we have played in the two games this season. There is a lot we can take
:30:02. > :30:06.from them, they're pressing and their quality on the ball and how
:30:07. > :30:14.they go about their business. Not a heavy touch on the first one. No,
:30:15. > :30:18.but they all count, Walker with a perfect ball and I got a touch on
:30:19. > :30:23.it. Lovely pass from Dele Alli for the second? You have seen it all
:30:24. > :30:28.season, he is on the half term and if you make the run and you have
:30:29. > :30:33.midfielders like that, they put in the ball and he put it on a plate
:30:34. > :30:37.and I was able to finish. You get to this stage of the season and you
:30:38. > :30:43.look for nerves and there were none from Spurs today. Not at all and
:30:44. > :30:46.they had to win, considering what Leicester did yesterday. They put
:30:47. > :30:51.the pressure right on them. I am reluctant to criticise Bournemouth
:30:52. > :30:55.but they have done their job this season and they are safe in the
:30:56. > :30:59.Premier League but they were on holiday today, their season was over
:31:00. > :31:04.today. Having said that, Spurs are a very good team, scoring more goals
:31:05. > :31:10.than anyone else in the league, best events in the league and after 44
:31:11. > :31:13.seconds, they meant business. Not for the first time we will look at
:31:14. > :31:19.Dele Alli and Harry Kane and you have thrown in Kyle Walker for some
:31:20. > :31:23.variation. It won't be the last time either, they have such a good
:31:24. > :31:26.understanding. They seem to know each other's game on the pitch but
:31:27. > :31:33.they are mates off the pitch as well. 40 seconds, Kyle Walker down
:31:34. > :31:38.the right-hand side, Alli and Kane circles in the middle, too much
:31:39. > :31:42.space but a brilliant ball in, a superb run from Harry Kane. A little
:31:43. > :31:47.bit of discussion as to whether he got a touch but he did. He got a
:31:48. > :31:53.start on it. It was a massive argument we had. A good finish and a
:31:54. > :31:58.good start. Harry Kane moves into that position for two reasons, to
:31:59. > :32:06.get in the box and create space for Dele Alli to run into. It does not
:32:07. > :32:09.work on this occasion but this is absolutely brilliant, almost
:32:10. > :32:12.telepathic. Too much time again for Dele Alli, touch of the left foot
:32:13. > :32:16.and the weight of the pass with the right foot but watch Harry Kane when
:32:17. > :32:20.Dele Alli touches the ball, already on his bike, he knows what he is
:32:21. > :32:25.doing and he knows where he will put it. Too good for the defender and a
:32:26. > :32:31.superb finish. Again, linkup play, the ball falls to Alli, a little
:32:32. > :32:36.ball into Harry Kane again and pulls out wide and a brilliant ball across
:32:37. > :32:40.and unlucky with Eriksen. Walker also played his part, this was in
:32:41. > :32:44.the second half. He knows Harry Kane will win that, he trusts him and
:32:45. > :32:49.they trust each other and know each other's game. If he doesn't win
:32:50. > :32:53.that, he is in trouble because he has left space or hide him but he
:32:54. > :32:58.knows Harry Kane will win it. It is unlucky. Not only those three but
:32:59. > :33:03.Eric Dier and Danny Rose as well. It is looking really good for England
:33:04. > :33:06.with those guys coming through. Coming back to England, how many
:33:07. > :33:11.times would you say in your career that you had a relationship like
:33:12. > :33:16.Kane and Alli, I am just interested, you said it is almost telepathic. I
:33:17. > :33:21.can give an example with Teddy Sheringham. We did not train a lot
:33:22. > :33:25.together, every six or seven weeks but I knew his game and he knew
:33:26. > :33:30.mine. It is almost telepathic, you build up a relationship on the pitch
:33:31. > :33:36.and no doubt that Alli and Kane have got that. It is really good. I have
:33:37. > :33:39.a good relationship with Michael at Liverpool for a brief period and
:33:40. > :33:45.Darren Bent at Charlton, you get to know someone and they feed off you
:33:46. > :33:48.and you build a relationship. It is difficult for defenders to pick up.
:33:49. > :33:55.When Dele Alli gets the ball in the middle of the park, Kane as Origi
:33:56. > :33:58.gone because he knows it inside out. That is the advantage, Leicester
:33:59. > :34:02.City and top and Leicester sitting second, we could both pick their
:34:03. > :34:07.11th, harmony other teams could you say that about? You mentioned
:34:08. > :34:15.England, with everybody fit, would you start those two, Alli just
:34:16. > :34:18.behind Kane. Yellow macro 100% and Eric Dier, the full-backs are up for
:34:19. > :34:23.discussion because there are options. But there is no doubt, Eric
:34:24. > :34:28.Dier sitting in front and Dele Alli just in the hind Harry Kane. Harry
:34:29. > :34:34.Kane is on fire this season, he should be automatic in the team now.
:34:35. > :34:37.I completely agree with Harry Kane and ability, Dele Alli, my only
:34:38. > :34:45.concern with him is that there are some games where the fire comes in a
:34:46. > :34:50.bit and he goes into rash tackles, at international level, that could
:34:51. > :34:54.be a problem, in terms of ability, I agree. A lot of youngsters have
:34:55. > :35:01.that. But not many know who they are. Just touched the stud. The
:35:02. > :35:06.argument went on for about two hours. The Manchester derby to come
:35:07. > :35:11.after we go to the north-east. How do you ensure a win in the Tyne
:35:12. > :35:13.Wear derby, Sunderland think they have the right prescription, each of
:35:14. > :35:17.their last four managerial appointments have come one game
:35:18. > :35:21.before the Derby, on each occasion, the new boss has lost their first
:35:22. > :35:27.game before going on to beat their local rivals. Newcastle's response,
:35:28. > :35:32.a dose of the same medicine. Enter Rafael Benitez, defeat against
:35:33. > :35:37.Leicester in his opening game will be followed, they hope, by a first
:35:38. > :35:43.derby win in eight attempts. For Rafa Benitez's first-time game, a
:35:44. > :35:47.Newcastle team with two changes. Andros Townsend back into start.
:35:48. > :35:54.Dave and Taylor and Vurnon Anita drop to the bench. Jonjo Shelvey
:35:55. > :36:02.making his first start in a time and we're derby as is Townsend. The one
:36:03. > :36:06.change from these draw against Southampton scenes and Deutsche make
:36:07. > :36:11.way for Jermain Defoe for Sunderland. The history between
:36:12. > :36:19.those two is well-known, there seems to be a bit more warmth in that
:36:20. > :36:27.greeting than there has been before. Rafael Benitez has reignited
:36:28. > :36:33.Newcastle passions. And looking for Mitrovic, a golden chance. He got
:36:34. > :36:41.aired of Kone, he had the chance to put Newcastle into the lead. One of
:36:42. > :36:50.the few grounds in the country where you chance "Stand up if you hate
:36:51. > :36:53.Sunderland." And the people in the directors box stand up to.
:36:54. > :37:01.Sunderland get this free kick, Jack Colback's revenge. He has been the
:37:02. > :37:05.king of set pieces since signing. Newcastle could do with him in their
:37:06. > :37:14.side, Chris Waddle, Sunderland could do with him, he played for both.
:37:15. > :37:18.Great ball in from Khazri, tipped over the top by Elliott. Jack
:37:19. > :37:23.Rodwell rose to meet it and met it well. Just for a moment it looked
:37:24. > :37:29.like it was over Elliott and under the bar. There will be concerns from
:37:30. > :37:30.Rafael Benitez about these Sunderland set pieces and how his
:37:31. > :37:43.side are defending them. Pulled back for Defoe and the
:37:44. > :37:48.ripples the side of the net. A cheer from the Newcastle fans in response
:37:49. > :38:03.to stifled cheers from the away end. Anguish for Sam Allardyce. Townsend,
:38:04. > :38:09.there is Perez. He was brought down and it is a Newcastle free kick.
:38:10. > :38:14.This time last year, John Carver was the Newcastle manager, alongside him
:38:15. > :38:21.is Ryan Taylor, scorer of Newcastle's last derby matchwinner.
:38:22. > :38:25.It looks like Jonjo Shelvey and it is. Did not quite work out the
:38:26. > :38:37.angles right but he was close. Took it so quickly, he caught a lot of
:38:38. > :38:43.people in the stadium out. Borini, just got caught on his heels, did
:38:44. > :38:52.not come to him when he wanted it to. Green light for go and then he
:38:53. > :39:01.stopped. Khazri tries something different, Renee, only up in the air
:39:02. > :39:04.from Elliott and Defoe, and it is in, Sunderland score through Jermain
:39:05. > :39:11.Defoe. Sprinting away towards the visiting fans, another set piece
:39:12. > :39:18.that Newcastle struggle with. Brilliant strike by Porrini, looking
:39:19. > :39:23.at the Newcastle defenders, standing off, nobody got close enough to
:39:24. > :39:30.Defoe who waited for the ball to land before hitting, stand and watch
:39:31. > :39:33.in these games at your peril, Defoe not standing around and Sam
:39:34. > :39:42.Allardyce's Sunderland have the lead on Derby Day. Rafael Benitez is
:39:43. > :39:48.becoming all too aware of the size of the task he has inherited here.
:39:49. > :39:56.Could it be seven derby wins in a row, they are on their way,
:39:57. > :40:00.Sunderland. Mitrovic, they could do with Mitrovic in the middle, he will
:40:01. > :40:08.go there now for the Newcastle corner. Townsend to take it. Vito
:40:09. > :40:13.Mannone ever getting there, cleared off the line. The technology these
:40:14. > :40:21.days tells us it didn't cross the line. Let us see how close Newcastle
:40:22. > :40:27.came. A good delivery by Townsend, not sure where Vito Mannone was
:40:28. > :40:34.going. It's never actually got onto the line, never mind over it. The
:40:35. > :40:38.away side has never lost when scoring first in the Tyne Wear
:40:39. > :40:49.derby in the Premier League era. Now, a wonderful position,. Khazri
:40:50. > :41:01.chased by Townsend, Kerch off, comes to Khazri. Could not stop him, what
:41:02. > :41:09.a save that is by Elliott. Blasted by Patrick van Aanholt, a huge hand
:41:10. > :41:15.from the Newcastle keeper. He saw the loose ball, seized his chance
:41:16. > :41:18.and a great save, one of Sunderland's finest ever
:41:19. > :41:24.goalkeepers, the finest, Jim Montgomery, approves, even though it
:41:25. > :41:31.stopped his team going 2-0 up. 1973 and all that. Odd looking throw and
:41:32. > :41:50.it is a foul throw. You should never see that in the Premier League.
:41:51. > :42:03.And again, the chip, Mitrovic goes for it and Mitrovic levels it.
:42:04. > :42:09.Newcastle United are back in business, they have planned the
:42:10. > :42:14.equaliser for a while and it is Mitrovic who has got it. Celebration
:42:15. > :42:18.with a supporter was unorthodox. Don't think they have worked that
:42:19. > :42:26.one out but that is great work by Wine album, he is Newcastle's top
:42:27. > :42:29.scorer this season with nine but that is a mighty big assist,
:42:30. > :42:34.creating goal number six for Mitrovic. He is going to get a
:42:35. > :42:40.yellow card for taking his shirt off in celebration but he would do it
:42:41. > :42:51.time and time again given the importance of that goal. It has been
:42:52. > :43:00.coming. That is the section of the ground to look on in stunned silence
:43:01. > :43:08.now. Freedom of the right wing. Good ball in from Anita, Mitrovic
:43:09. > :43:11.charging onto it, he is hurt as he lands and the Sunderland players are
:43:12. > :43:18.calling for attention immediately for Alexander Mitrovic. It looks as
:43:19. > :43:23.though he is absolutely spark though. Straightaway. They going to
:43:24. > :43:28.finish the game with ten players, Newcastle because Mitrovic will have
:43:29. > :43:34.to leave the field, he was concussed there and could be suffering still.
:43:35. > :43:37.Having to be calmed down, already the Newcastle hero today, new ones
:43:38. > :43:39.to go on and win the game. Benitez having to hold him back on taking
:43:40. > :44:00.the field. Rob Elliott is alive to the
:44:01. > :44:10.situation. Now we have got bumping and barging going on all over.
:44:11. > :44:13.Honours even at St James' Park. There is applause all round, but it
:44:14. > :44:20.is an unsatisfying results when you take into account the figures for
:44:21. > :44:23.both these clubs. One point it is not enough for either side to hold
:44:24. > :44:26.themselves out of the bottom three. They will continue to fight each
:44:27. > :44:32.other all the way to the end of the season to see who, if either, can
:44:33. > :44:43.stay in the Premier League. In the end, maybe the draw is fair enough.
:44:44. > :44:47.But I will take the positives. There are a lot of positives in a
:44:48. > :44:53.difficult situation. When I was sitting over Christmas and new year,
:44:54. > :44:58.I was totally dejected and miserable watching the team getting beat so
:44:59. > :45:02.easy, particularly away from home. I thought, come on, lads. How am I
:45:03. > :45:05.going to get this right? Obviously, we had a lot of hard work from
:45:06. > :45:12.everybody, particularly the new players. I think we have become a
:45:13. > :45:16.good side now. But we have not been able to turn good performances into
:45:17. > :45:21.victories. That is the problem for us now. With eight games to go, we
:45:22. > :45:24.have to find four wins. The fans want to see players that fight for
:45:25. > :45:29.the shirt and for the badge. The quality was there, but the fans
:45:30. > :45:34.wanted to see players fight until the 95th minute and never give up.
:45:35. > :45:39.We showed that today. Hopefully now, the fans will get behind us and we
:45:40. > :45:44.can grow in confidence. These are the big games where it counts. It
:45:45. > :45:48.would have been nice if we got all three points, because we need them
:45:49. > :45:53.and time is running out. Do you have the players to stay up? For sure. We
:45:54. > :45:57.have to keep working. I have the belief that they can play better. I
:45:58. > :46:03.have seen today that they can do well in the second half. We have
:46:04. > :46:05.eight games to play, and we have to perform at the level we performed in
:46:06. > :46:21.the second half. Sam Allardyce spoke about the
:46:22. > :46:31.players he had brought in. Newcastle could not get through Kirchhoff. He
:46:32. > :46:46.was brilliant. Every time, he was there. He was just constant, the
:46:47. > :46:59.whole game. He nicked the ball off Perez.
:47:00. > :47:09.What about that for a tackle? Absolutely superb. For an hour, they
:47:10. > :47:15.just could not get through him. He was brilliant. They have not kept a
:47:16. > :47:19.clean sheet in 17 games, so Sam Allardyce said afterwards, they have
:47:20. > :47:23.got to score twice to win games at the moment. With Jermain Defoe
:47:24. > :47:29.upfront, they have the chances to score twice in most games. Well, he
:47:30. > :47:34.is a good player and he looked sharp today, as good as I have seen him in
:47:35. > :47:37.a while. He has got 15 goals this season, which is incredible for a
:47:38. > :47:46.team playing down the bottom. Everything about his game was good
:47:47. > :47:54.today. This was early in the game. The only strange thing was that he
:47:55. > :48:04.didn't find the back of the net. Another good effort. And again here.
:48:05. > :48:11.You cannot keep giving him opportunities. On your weak foot,
:48:12. > :48:18.you have to get a good connection, and he does that superbly well. He
:48:19. > :48:23.deserved that goal. From Sunderland's point of view, that was
:48:24. > :48:37.a very good goal. But looking at it from a Newcastle point of view, they
:48:38. > :48:42.have Colback on the edge of the box. He then has to go to the far post
:48:43. > :48:47.and he vacates the area on the edge of the box. Sunderland spot that.
:48:48. > :48:52.They played into Borini, and Colback has gone missing. And that is where
:48:53. > :48:59.they get the goal from. Or organisation from Newcastle. To get
:49:00. > :49:06.themselves back into the game, they have to take Kirchhoff out of it,
:49:07. > :49:12.did they? I am sure Rafa would have said to them half-time, you have to
:49:13. > :49:15.move the ball quicker. Too many players are having too many touches
:49:16. > :49:22.on the ball. You have also got to get it wide. To take Kirchhoff out
:49:23. > :49:30.of the game, because he was such a huge presence, particularly for the
:49:31. > :49:35.first hour of the game. They go down the side with a decent header from
:49:36. > :49:50.Mitrovic. All of a sudden, Kirchhoff is out of
:49:51. > :49:55.the game. All right, it is a poor effort, but they are now creating
:49:56. > :50:03.chances. This was the goal. A bit of a fluky pass, but the impressive
:50:04. > :50:11.thing is how they work it wide. You see Kirchhoff in the middle. Again,
:50:12. > :50:19.a bit of luck, but the rest is brilliant. That was a brilliant
:50:20. > :50:27.header. He hangs in the air, gets the power and the accuracy. I think
:50:28. > :50:32.a 1-1 result was a fair result in the end. I am not sure about that. I
:50:33. > :50:39.think Sunderland edged it, personally! The other thing is, we
:50:40. > :50:45.said this during the game. Mitrovic can head it. Let him cause problems.
:50:46. > :50:48.Both sides have eight games love to play. Sam Allardyce said they need
:50:49. > :50:53.four wins, see you could argue that Newcastle need four wins as well,
:50:54. > :50:57.which is out of order. It is for both of them. It has been a very
:50:58. > :51:02.good weekend for Norwich, put it that way. A draw did not suit any
:51:03. > :51:11.team today, so they will be happy over the weekend. Saturday's action
:51:12. > :51:15.now, a trip to Chelsea and 2 Good, 2 Bad to come after our second derby
:51:16. > :51:19.of the day. It is Manuel Pellegrini's final
:51:20. > :51:24.Manchester derby. He started well in this fixture, but last season a 4-2
:51:25. > :51:36.loss at Old Trafford led to serious questions about his future. But
:51:37. > :51:40.United have won just one of their last eight on the road, a 1-0 loss
:51:41. > :51:53.at West Brom being the most recent defeat.
:51:54. > :51:58.COMMENTATOR: If City lose, they surely will not get the title. And
:51:59. > :52:15.if United lose, they surely will not finish in the top four.
:52:16. > :52:37.Manchester United have started with Jesse Lingard down the middle.
:52:38. > :52:51.And it is off target. It is a let off for Manchester United. Raheem
:52:52. > :53:12.Sterling flying. I think his intention was to find Aguero.
:53:13. > :53:18.There is going to be an early card here. Smalling on a tightrope
:53:19. > :53:51.already. Good save by De Gea. Navas on the
:53:52. > :54:03.end of it again, with his favoured right foot this time. Oh,
:54:04. > :54:09.brilliantly done. Oh, and a goal! What a goal by Rashford for
:54:10. > :54:15.Manchester United! His first test of a Manchester derby, and he has
:54:16. > :54:18.struck United in front after 15 minutes with a glorious goal. Seemed
:54:19. > :54:41.to be in no danger at all. Fantastic. And such calmness in
:54:42. > :54:44.front of Joe Hart as well. It is 1-0 to Manchester United, and Marcus
:54:45. > :54:49.Rashford has scored a wonderful goal. City made the better start,
:54:50. > :55:01.United opened the scoring. What a moment for the 18-year-old.
:55:02. > :55:15.Manchester City are always capable of scoring a goal. Aguero is picking
:55:16. > :55:19.himself up. He looked as though he had been poleaxed, then got to his
:55:20. > :55:28.feet and now has gone down again. The flag is up on the near side,
:55:29. > :55:33.Blind involved once more. He could not get him off his feet the first
:55:34. > :55:41.time, he did the second. We are into the last few seconds of normal time
:55:42. > :55:45.in the first half. Yaya Toure was impeded. Manchester City were freely
:55:46. > :55:52.that he might have been impeded as it came to him, flicked on
:55:53. > :55:58.dangerously at the near post by Bacary Sagna. Yaya Toure held off
:55:59. > :56:24.Michael Carrick. Michael Oliver is shaking his head.
:56:25. > :56:28.There is immediate reaction. Manchester City and Manchester
:56:29. > :56:31.United players facing up to each other here now. There was an angry
:56:32. > :56:44.reaction from Demichelis to Marcus Rashford. Let's have a look at this.
:56:45. > :56:52.Beautifully done from Schneiderlin. Michael Oliver said, no foul. And
:56:53. > :57:07.then there was an outbreak of pushing and shoving and handbag
:57:08. > :57:17.waving. Joe Hart just about got there. Dammit Ellis is having a day
:57:18. > :57:22.to forget at the moment. -- Demichelis. Manchester City have a
:57:23. > :57:26.problem, and Demichelis is at the heart of it. His backpass was
:57:27. > :57:41.horribly short. He was saved by Joe Hart. But at what cost? What is he
:57:42. > :57:47.doing? He just got there, Joe Hart. But immediately held his calf. Oh
:57:48. > :57:53.dear, that doesn't look good. He can't put any weight on that, by the
:57:54. > :57:56.look of it. Joe Hart is not going to go to Germany with England, I can
:57:57. > :58:00.tell you that much. And I don't dig he is going to play any further part
:58:01. > :58:06.in this game. This is not a site to warm the heart of any football fan,
:58:07. > :58:08.Manchester City or England or anyone. Joe Hart, stretchered off
:58:09. > :58:24.the field of play. Good play, deflected, Cavaliere with
:58:25. > :58:33.a decent save. Pushed away from goal, Jesse Lingard retrieves.
:58:34. > :58:37.Danger all over the place and Rashford is unlucky, it hit
:58:38. > :58:45.Fernandinho and I don't think he knew too much about it. Rashford
:58:46. > :58:49.have so much space, I think that is heading in and I don't think
:58:50. > :58:59.Fernandinho knew a great deal about the block, a good save by Cavaliere.
:59:00. > :59:03.Jesus Navas looking for Yaya Toure. Sergio Aguero in the middle,
:59:04. > :59:14.Wilfried Bony, David Silva arriving and it hits the post. Yaya Toure
:59:15. > :59:24.does well. Terrific header, unlucky. Gael Clichy.
:59:25. > :59:32.Fernandinho with a good ball, back to Yaya Toure. David Silva again,
:59:33. > :59:39.Aguero. Across goal, Yaya Toure, Wilfried Bony could not get there.
:59:40. > :59:45.It looked certain to be a goal. David Silva did superbly, curling
:59:46. > :59:53.into a wearer, whose header was off target. Carrick got their ahead of
:59:54. > :59:59.Wilfried Bony. Gael Clichy with plenty of room to move into, finding
:00:00. > :00:04.Aguero. Smalling tripping him, he is already on a yellow card, an early
:00:05. > :00:12.one in the game. Michael Oliver gave the free kick without hesitation.
:00:13. > :00:17.But he is giving nothing else. Wasn't the most aggressive challenge
:00:18. > :00:23.you have ever seen, it would have been a slightly soft yellow, it has
:00:24. > :00:29.to be said. A promising looking for, of where row. The chancy has been
:00:30. > :00:35.waiting for, a clear sight of goal, his first touch took him inside
:00:36. > :00:41.Antonio Valencia but the shot was off target. Michael Oliver blows the
:00:42. > :00:45.whistle, Manchester United are certainly back in the hunt for the
:00:46. > :00:52.top four and if anyone is going to chase those Foxes to the line, it
:00:53. > :00:56.won't be Manchester City. Just when everybody things Manchester United
:00:57. > :01:00.finished for the season and Louis van Gaal is finished, then you come
:01:01. > :01:07.up with a great big result, you have done it more than once this season.
:01:08. > :01:15.I am grateful you are saying this. We have played very good matches
:01:16. > :01:19.this season also. This victory was necessary because the gap was still
:01:20. > :01:24.four points, now it is one point, we are equal with West Ham. Again, we
:01:25. > :01:33.are in the race and that is important. And of course, we don't
:01:34. > :01:37.have the matches on Thursday. That is also a positive thing. Every
:01:38. > :01:44.player makes mistake but Demichelis did not have a great day? Every
:01:45. > :01:51.player has a bad day. I don't think it was good for him to continue but
:01:52. > :01:58.we didn't score a goal and that is not his fault. You spent an hour and
:01:59. > :02:02.a half an Sergio Aguero's shoulder, are you exhausted? He has a lot of
:02:03. > :02:06.movement and picking up an early booking, I had to be careful
:02:07. > :02:11.throughout the game. There was a second free kick late on, was your
:02:12. > :02:15.heart in your mouth? No, I don't think it was a booking but another
:02:16. > :02:20.one like that, it might have been tight. You are always on edge game
:02:21. > :02:25.like this against a player in the class of Sergio Aguero. Manchester
:02:26. > :02:30.United only had five shots but you were impressed with the threat they
:02:31. > :02:35.had upfront. Really impressed and surprised in many ways. He played
:02:36. > :02:40.Jesse Lingard in the number ten roll with Rashford as the striker. He has
:02:41. > :02:44.not played there a lot, he has been moved wide recently but they
:02:45. > :02:49.understood each other's game and they were both a real threat. This
:02:50. > :02:56.was on the right, real intent, this is the type of goal you expect to
:02:57. > :02:59.see from striker like Sergio Aguero. Jesse Lingard has pace in these
:03:00. > :03:06.middle areas of the willingness to go at people to make things happen.
:03:07. > :03:11.Martial was a bit cute there, just getting a one on one, as it happens,
:03:12. > :03:16.he takes the shot, good save by Joe Hart. Every time they broke from
:03:17. > :03:21.deep it was Jesse Lingard, who is playing with freedom, it is age or
:03:22. > :03:25.trying to grasp that opportunity, does not make that past but another
:03:26. > :03:30.good one from Rashford. They threatened in behind Manchester
:03:31. > :03:34.City, we have seen United have a lot of possession but not threaten in
:03:35. > :03:38.behind but this was not the case here. Especially in the first half,
:03:39. > :03:43.good awareness of space, picking up those pockets. I like where Rashford
:03:44. > :03:51.ends up, he doesn't get the final ball but he is where you want your
:03:52. > :03:55.striker to be. A definite energy about the both of them, enthusiasm
:03:56. > :04:01.and energy, I was impressed with both of them today. Lie a real
:04:02. > :04:08.appetite to stay in the team. Two local lads, after he has been down
:04:09. > :04:12.with cramp. 96th minute. Another Super Bowl ad by Carrick, he was
:04:13. > :04:19.great. They risk that the manager played them both but he was rewarded
:04:20. > :04:27.with superb performances. -- super ball. We talked about Victor Wanyama
:04:28. > :04:31.giving more structured to Manchester United -- to Southampton, what about
:04:32. > :04:37.Manchester United? Heap plays a lot of passes that people do not say
:04:38. > :04:41.well about but we know how crucial they are to get the team out. His
:04:42. > :04:47.positional play, he made a tackle late on that was superb. I would
:04:48. > :04:51.take him to the Euros, if you start him not is a debate but his
:04:52. > :04:56.experience and calmness, I would have him there. A couple of
:04:57. > :05:00.decisions, United might have felt they should have had a penalty and
:05:01. > :05:05.city might have thought Smalling should get sent off. He gets a
:05:06. > :05:09.yellow card for this and rightly so, he pulls him back, no complains
:05:10. > :05:15.about that. He just grabs his left shoulder. Yellow card and he is
:05:16. > :05:20.fortunate to get away with this, the referee right in front of him and he
:05:21. > :05:25.is on a yellow card, Aguero with a superb turn and he stops and takes
:05:26. > :05:29.out of the game. I think he is fortunate to get away with that, I
:05:30. > :05:35.am not 100 and sent convinced that is a penalty. I do not think that is
:05:36. > :05:42.enough contact to bring him down. An argument for and against but I would
:05:43. > :05:47.not think that was a penalty. As far as the game itself was concerned,
:05:48. > :05:51.did it feel like watching two teams who are really battling for fourth?
:05:52. > :05:58.As a whole, the standard of that Derby underlined how far these teams
:05:59. > :06:02.have fallen behind in recent years, the standard was pretty poor. How
:06:03. > :06:08.concerned should Manchester City fans be? Very. I think it is very
:06:09. > :06:12.open now between West Ham United and Manchester City. The last two
:06:13. > :06:17.performances from Manchester City have been below average. They had a
:06:18. > :06:23.20 minute spell in the second-half today where they put on but I don't
:06:24. > :06:26.think it is the Pep Guardiola factor, I really don't. . Pep
:06:27. > :06:30.Guardiola have a clause in his contract because I am pretty sure he
:06:31. > :06:39.did not sign up for a Europa League team. How is he going to know? I am
:06:40. > :06:44.just about giving up on the analysis, I have no idea about his
:06:45. > :06:52.contract. There is a big danger they might not be in it. Do you think the
:06:53. > :06:59.Wadi Oler thing is an easy excuse? -- the Pep Guardiola thing. Do you
:07:00. > :07:05.think the reasons go deeper than a change of manager? Big players, a
:07:06. > :07:09.bit older and have not played as well, David Silva has not been as
:07:10. > :07:15.productive, Yaya Toure, Vincent Kompany has hardly played, Aguero
:07:16. > :07:18.has been injured. And the recruitment and the players they
:07:19. > :07:23.have brought in have not been good enough. It did not fall anyone when
:07:24. > :07:28.Heller Greaney signed the new contract at the start of the season,
:07:29. > :07:31.that was to stop people asking when Pep Guardiola would come. To
:07:32. > :07:36.announce it when they did was baffling. Having said that, they
:07:37. > :07:44.were still in four competitions and second in the league. And they miss
:07:45. > :07:45.Kevin de Bruyne, massively. We look back at Saturday's action starting
:07:46. > :08:04.with the league leaders. Drinkwater, Riyad Mahrez, a
:08:05. > :08:05.brilliant move, through on goal but denied and Scott Dann with the
:08:06. > :08:23.clearance. Lovely move. Riyad Mahrez with the cross,
:08:24. > :08:30.Drinkwater. Across goal, Riyad Mahrez, 1-0 to the league leaders.
:08:31. > :08:37.The combination works again. A sensible ball by Drinkwater, Jamie
:08:38. > :08:40.Vardy lashed it through the middle and he knew at the back of his mind
:08:41. > :08:50.that coming off the far side would be Riyad Mahrez. Because he has done
:08:51. > :08:56.it so often this season. Back to Drinkwater who rarely misplaces a
:08:57. > :09:01.pass. Still going. Okazaki on the turn and nearly another superb goal
:09:02. > :09:08.by the Japanese international. Technique, skill and a dash of
:09:09. > :09:13.Goering do from Kazakis. This could be a big moment at both ends of the
:09:14. > :09:17.table but especially in the race for the Premier League crown. Yohan
:09:18. > :09:25.Cabaye with a high, swirling cross, Delaney, off the bar. Terrific
:09:26. > :09:28.technique from the centre-back. Boom, shake, rattle and roll on
:09:29. > :09:48.Leicester City. Sanchez. Trying to feed Danny
:09:49. > :09:54.Welbeck, 1-0 Arsenal. Danny Welbeck getting his fourth goal in nine
:09:55. > :09:58.games, Sanchez at the heart of it, a beautifully weighted pass. Welbeck
:09:59. > :10:06.kept his composure and finished calmly.
:10:07. > :10:15.This is promising, back towards Sanchez. He went tumbling, he thinks
:10:16. > :10:25.it was contact, Mark Clattenburg doesn't. There could be a ball on
:10:26. > :10:33.here for Alex Iwobi, he has been brilliantly found, Alex Iwobi for
:10:34. > :10:39.Arsenal, 2-0. It is a big moment for the teenager, his first Arsenal
:10:40. > :10:44.goal, a devastating break and it has doubled the Gunners's advantage. A
:10:45. > :10:48.big week for Alex Iwobi, started at the Nou Camp, full Premier League
:10:49. > :10:59.debut given to him by Arsene Wenger and the marks it with his first
:11:00. > :11:04.Arsenal goal. He did not get there and the whistle had already gone
:11:05. > :11:08.against Olivier Giroud. Mark Clattenburg had an excellent
:11:09. > :11:17.position here. Phil Jagielka went tumbling. Not a great deal in it.
:11:18. > :11:23.The goalkeeper is relieved. Plenty to ponder for Roberto Martinez
:11:24. > :11:30.today. It was a troublesome week for Arsenal but no problems today. You
:11:31. > :11:34.could hear the booing at Goodison Park, you watched this yesterday,
:11:35. > :11:43.the same old things with Everton, defensively again, problems. Only a
:11:44. > :11:48.French side have a worst defensive record at home in one of the five
:11:49. > :11:54.major leagues. They have enough quality for it not to happen. Is it
:11:55. > :11:58.a team thing rather than the defence? Maybe he gives them too
:11:59. > :12:05.much freedom at home to attack but that was as bad as I have seen them
:12:06. > :12:11.play. That performance, they went at it at all. When you are a fan, you
:12:12. > :12:16.see them the week before beat Chelsea under lights in the cup
:12:17. > :12:25.quarterfinal, then lacklustre against Arsenal. Playing at Everton
:12:26. > :12:29.is intense. It is on top of you and the fans expect, the pressure in the
:12:30. > :12:34.league is huge. The FA Cup comes around and there is more of a
:12:35. > :12:38.carnival atmosphere, that Chelsea game, you could see a freedom in
:12:39. > :12:43.Everton that you have not seen in the league. For all of Leicester's
:12:44. > :12:48.free scoring football at the start of the season, you are impressed
:12:49. > :12:55.they are winning 1-0 and shutting up shop at the other end? Earlier in
:12:56. > :12:58.the season, Jamie Vardy was scoring goals so they were scoring two or
:12:59. > :13:04.three a game. But they have tightened up at the back. Again,
:13:05. > :13:08.hugely impressive result. They sent a message to the rest of the league
:13:09. > :13:13.again, certainly the teams that are chasing them, that they aren't going
:13:14. > :13:18.anywhere and deserve to be where they are. Across this season we go
:13:19. > :13:23.to all 20 Premier League clubs and find out what it is like to be a fan
:13:24. > :13:24.of your team, 15 gown, this week we are with Trevor Nelson at Chelsea
:13:25. > :13:36.for the visit of West Ham. I grew up in an Arsenal household,
:13:37. > :13:46.and I just didn't like the Arsenal kit! My favourite Chelsea moment was
:13:47. > :13:53.1997, at the Wembley FA Cup final. I supported them all my life. I was
:13:54. > :14:01.literally sitting down with my burger in my hand under ball goes
:14:02. > :14:09.into the net. They were the best celebrations ever. My favourite
:14:10. > :14:13.players in order: King of Stamford Bridge, he was unbelievable, every
:14:14. > :14:19.bit as good as Drogba, trust me. Then Zola. He changed our team for
:14:20. > :14:22.ever. But the legend that is Frank Lampard, not only because he is a
:14:23. > :14:28.gentleman and a nice guy, he is a true professional. He delivers, and
:14:29. > :14:32.how we miss him. I am an Eastender, so I know all about West Ham, but
:14:33. > :14:36.they are going to come here full of confidence. They are playing really
:14:37. > :14:43.well. Are going to really fancy beating us. I hope our players
:14:44. > :14:46.understand how much we don't want West ham to win. I would love to
:14:47. > :15:00.stop the Hammers getting into the top four. Let's stop 'em.
:15:01. > :15:20.What a strike! That is a smashing goal! There is a real threat about
:15:21. > :15:29.West Ham here. That was a good chance of two.
:15:30. > :15:38.West Ham are arguing about where the line is, saying it is too far back.
:15:39. > :15:43.Fabregas strikes it, and he strikes it beautifully! Virtually the last
:15:44. > :15:55.kick of the first half brings Chelsea level. A lamb asking run
:15:56. > :16:08.from Creswell as he smacked the ball against the bar. Andy Carroll's
:16:09. > :16:11.touch! It is 2-1, West Ham! What an introduction to the game. And the
:16:12. > :16:23.man who scored the winner in the reverse fixture makes it 2-1 at
:16:24. > :16:41.Stamford Bridge. Over the top from Fabregas. It is going to be a
:16:42. > :16:45.penalty. Was he just caught? Cesc Fabregas, two minutes from time. It
:16:46. > :16:51.is 2-2, Fabregas to the rescue for Chelsea. You could tell one team was
:16:52. > :16:56.playing to Europe and the other team was... Playing, and that was us. So
:16:57. > :17:01.good to see Loftus get on the pitch. I always think he can affect a game
:17:02. > :17:05.if he is given the chance. So a couple of glimmers of hope, but we
:17:06. > :17:12.are still underperforming. Cohesion wasn't brilliant. I don't know, it
:17:13. > :17:16.is just one of those. It is a big blip, this season. The best thing we
:17:17. > :17:22.can hope for is to beat Tottenham. And that kind of sums up their
:17:23. > :17:25.season, Alan. It has come down to stopping West Ham getting in the top
:17:26. > :17:31.four and stopping Tottenham winning the title. I don't think anyone can
:17:32. > :17:36.not be imposed with the way West Ham have been this season. Payet has
:17:37. > :17:39.been a sensation. Of course, they have their new stadium next season,
:17:40. > :17:44.so it looks as though they have a lot to look forward to. I realise
:17:45. > :17:46.you can look through different decisions through a whole season and
:17:47. > :17:50.decide whether something has cost you here or there, but West Ham fans
:17:51. > :17:57.this evening will be thinking, that was outside the box. Given what has
:17:58. > :18:01.happened today with City losing, we would be forced if he had given the
:18:02. > :18:07.right decision. I know you are happy about it, being a man Utd man. Where
:18:08. > :18:11.did that come from! I can tell by the smile on your face. The other
:18:12. > :18:18.thing was the wall as well, which we covered last night. But West Ham
:18:19. > :18:22.have had no luck recently with decisions. It was only a yard
:18:23. > :18:29.outside the box. But it was still outside. I want the right decision,
:18:30. > :18:33.Danny! I look forward to talking to West Ham fans later. Here is the
:18:34. > :18:45.rest of the weekend's action, including a vital win for Norwich.
:18:46. > :18:55.COMMENTATOR: This corner is going to come in from Gardner. Already got a
:18:56. > :19:16.hand on it. Well hit! Really well hit by Claudio you can -- Yakov.
:19:17. > :19:28.And it has gone in! Robbie Brady fires Norwich in front. How big a
:19:29. > :19:33.goal could that be for Norwich City? It fell to Jarvis, who missed his
:19:34. > :19:46.kick, but knocks it into the path of Brady, and Brady finished nicely.
:19:47. > :19:55.A normally noisy Liberty Stadium has been silenced by Aston Villa. But
:19:56. > :20:06.for all the positives, they don't have a goal yet. Off the line by
:20:07. > :20:09.Williams, with Fabianski behind him. I think the Swansea skipper
:20:10. > :20:12.apologises to his goalkeeper, because I don't think he realised
:20:13. > :20:23.that Fabianski would have gathered that. Free to Swansea. And they will
:20:24. > :20:28.score from it! Guzan misses it, and Fernandez can't believe his luck. It
:20:29. > :20:33.was hardly the greatest of contacts. It is off the shoulder of Fernandez
:20:34. > :20:36.in the end. And yet again, Aston Villa go behind, on this occasion,
:20:37. > :20:58.they have not deserve to do so. Walters scores! Jonathan Walters
:20:59. > :21:13.gets his eighth goal of the season. It is a magnificent cross.
:21:14. > :21:22.And Arnautovic scores, but it is offside. Maybe his head is just on
:21:23. > :21:41.the edge of the six yard line. Joselu finishes beautifully! What a
:21:42. > :21:44.superb finish. What a dreadful goal for Watford to concede. Spoke city
:21:45. > :21:56.might have wrapped this game up already. -- Stoke City.
:21:57. > :22:02.And Watford are back in the game! Stoke City will be disappointed with
:22:03. > :22:09.the way they defended this situation.
:22:10. > :22:22.So here is the latest Premier League table.
:22:23. > :22:37.Here is 2 Good, 2 Bad. Scott Dann definitely pull Robert
:22:38. > :22:45.Booth's shirt. Alexis Sanchez took the opportunity for a breather at
:22:46. > :22:48.Goodison. Now, watch this man in the crowd, who had a chance to show off
:22:49. > :22:57.his heading skills ruined other lad in front of him. -- ruined by the
:22:58. > :23:04.lad in front. And when you want to go berserk at a ref and realise just
:23:05. > :23:11.in time that you are on a booking. I love that! Thanks to Alan. Less so
:23:12. > :23:15.to Danny. We are back after the international break is another
:23:16. > :23:22.chapter in the 2016 Premier League season concludes. Goodbye. And so we
:23:23. > :23:27.reach the story's end. It is the game that matters more than any
:23:28. > :23:35.other here. Defoe! Mitrovic levels it! A point shared at St James 's
:23:36. > :23:41.Park. The battle for survival rages on. Manchester City against
:23:42. > :23:47.Manchester United. Here is to a red Monday in Manchester. Louis defies
:23:48. > :23:55.the odds again. Tottenham's pursuit of glory continues. Do they dare to
:23:56. > :24:01.dream? Outstanding! A win for the Saints, and Europe is still within
:24:02. > :24:03.reach. As we" another week, this most exhilarating of seasons edges
:24:04. > :24:06.closer to the end.
