02/10/2016 Match of the Day 2

Oh, that is wonderful. An absolute belter. What a goal! Look at that!

Four matches on tonight's Match Of The Day, plus

September's Goal of the Month, and the rest of this

And Ian Wright and Jermaine Jenas are with us.

We begin at White Hart Lane, with two teams who were

first and second heading into this weekend.

Tottenham against Manchester City, watched by Simon Brotherton.

Manchester City drop points for the first time this season in the

Champions League on Wednesday and their 100% Premier League record

will be put to the test here against the other division acrobats only

other unbeaten at fit. But Tottenham Hotspur, the team to beat. There are

two changes for the team that played last week, Danny Rose comes in, and

Erik Lamela comes in incense of Vincent Yang. Son Heung-min is

expected to start up front. Kevin De Bruyne are expected to -- is

injured, meaning there are three changes from the team that won at

Swansea with starts for Pablo Zabaleta, Fernando and Jesus Navas.

It is Tottenham who will get is underway and Manchester City have

six wins out of six to start the season. Tottenham Hotspur, four

victories and two draws, the only two unbeaten sides in the Premier

League going head-to-head here. With City being seen as the yardstick in

the early going as Eriksen feeds it out wide. Simon -- Son goes past

Kolarov. Nice, clean, crisp passing from Tottenham. Son's confidence

will be high as he scored the winning goal in the Champions League

in Moscow in the week. Quick to shoot. First touch of the ball this

afternoon for jew goal is. -- Hugo Lloris. Top and very tight at the

back, the best defensive league in the Premier -- defensive record in

the Premier League. Will be put to the test today. City make it to the

edge of the Premier League. Jesus Navas coming into the team. Towards

the near post and almost turned in by David Silva. Navas in lots of

space on the near side. Rolling the ball into the near post.

City are happy to pass around. Tottenham are pushing forward and

press them in possession. Ferdinand Dean Ho. He was nudged off the ball

by Wanyama. Danny Rose. Son makes the run, and it has gone in. An own

goal, off Alexander Kolarov and Tottenham Hotspur have the league.

-- lead. In the ninth minute of the game. Perfect start for Spurs.

Wanyama dispossess is Fernandinho just short of the halfway line.

Danny Rose tries to pick the cross and then a messy, messy goal for

Manchester City could -- to concede as the ball ricochets in after

Alexander Kolarov. Tottenham's tales are up early in this one. Wanyama.

Turned away from Fernandinho. Lovely turn away from to mentally, and here

goes Son again. Stone trying to keep tabs. Son for Tottenham. Saved by

the right boot of Bravo. He will be happy with this start his team has

made. His first ever game was against Pep Guardiola, Espanyol

against Barcelona, a goalless draw, but he got his first ever win in

2009 at the Nou camp. Eriksen. The boot is straight onto Fernando. That

was loose and untidy. Now it is with Dele Alli for Tottenham. Had a look

to see if there was an opening. Trying to slide it in, and down he

goes on the edge of the box and the first yellow card comes out. This is

why. Dele Alli, quite a handful as to Mandeep -- Otto Mendy went

sliding in. Lamela there, over the ball. Eriksen will have a go. It

flashes wide of the post. Eriksen whipping in the free kick with real

pace. Just wide of the post. Aguero, and he has done well, Sergio Aguero.

David Silva is there. Wanyama gets back and has conceded the free kick.

And he gets a yellow card as well. So now he will be forced to tread

carefully for the rest of the game. Half an hour played. Hugo Lloris has

had a quiet Sunday afternoon up until now. Is that about to change?

Aguero. Beaten away by Hugo Lloris. He was there Tottenham when needed.

Manchester City less than convincing at times this afternoon. Otto Mendy

has done well. Now David Silva. He evades the challenge of Danny Rose.

Ferdinand Dean Ho heads it on. Now with Tottenham. Son Is there again.

Dele Alli is there and he tries to sliding through. It might fall

kindly for Eriksen. Into Dele Alli. Tottenham two, Manchester City zero

as Dele Alli sweeps the ball home. In the 37th minute of the match,

Tottenham pass their way through the heart of the Manchester City

defence. The ball takes a deflection and falls kindly for Son, who swiped

it back in and Dele Alli has his second of the season. Expertly

guiding the ball beyond Bravo's reach, into the bottom corner of the

net. Tottenham leading 2-0, and, interestingly, Manchester City have

not won a Premier League away game when they have been behind at

half-time for 21 years since they came back to win 3-2 at Blackbird in

April 19 95. -- Black burn. Just past the foot of the post. He

scored the winner against Crystal Palace in the early weeks of the

season and suddenly found himself within range and thought he would

have a go. Aguero. First touch for him in the second half. Navas. Now

it is with Aguero. Against the post and away. Lloris with the initial

save and Tottenham get the ball clear.

Walker. Towards Sissoko. This is Kyle Walker. Good play. Sissoko.

Walker continues the run and Dele Alli could be in on goal. That is a

penalty to Spurs. You knew one way or another it spelt trouble. City

defenders had to tread carefully. Fernandinho penalised. So now

Tottenham with a chance to make it a 3-goal lead. Bravo doing his best to

put off the Tottenham striker, and he's done a good job of doing so. He

makes the save and it stays at 2-0. Bravo with wide. For Manchester

City. The shot is beaten away. It deflects all the way of the field.

Son and Lamela deep in discussion about who would take the penalty and

it looks as though Son was desperate to get it and Lamela said it was

his. Then it was saved by Bravo. Aguero taking on Walker. Wanyama.

Ericsson clear. -- Eriksen clear. Trying to hold off John stones,

which he has done well and still Eriksen. Ultimately outmanoeuvred.

Gundogan finding David Silva. Iheanacho. Blocked by Lloris. Has

not had too much to do in the second half, Hugo Lloris, but he was sharp

and alert and made the save as Manchester City threatened to score.

David Silva. Stones. Working away from the traffic into a less

populated area. Kolarov. Gundogan. Nicely done. David Silva. Aguero!

Palmed away by Lloris. That was better from Manchester City. But

Lloris was equal to it and it stays at 2-0.

I'm sure he won't want to watch that again later on.

Aguero, away from Wanyama. Now John Stones. He might fancy a shot here.

Aguero, and city were trying to tiptoe their way through there.

Tottenham set to close the gap on the leaders to a single point now.

N'Koulou. There goes the final whistle. And there remains only one

unbeaten team in the Premier League tonight, and that team is Tottenham

Hotspur. They have inflicted a first defeat for Pep Guardiola as

Manchester City manager, and they have deservedly won the match. The

final score White Hart Lane, 2-0. It looks as though you are playing

with a real intensity from the start and you did not let Manchester City

settle at all. Yes, they showed in the games they played before that

they have the players to do whatever they want with the ball. Luckily we

did not give them that much time and it made a easier. It was a tough

game and they are a very good team, and last year they were fighting and

we spoke about that and it was difficult. They were better. I

congratulate them for the performance. We are teams that share

a lot of values and we tried to play with a similar philosophy. Yes, I

think it was an exciting game and I think that Manchester City is a

great team and to beat them was a fantastic thing for us. Obviously

today we cannot be happy with the performance but we are still top of

the league and we need to take the positives. And then after the

international break we have two games at home, which is important

for us to recover those points that we lost today. That is the way we

can play, what we need to do on the pitch and then you can win or lose,

but if you play like today, with passion and versatility, we have

quality enough to fight in every game. I think before we get to the

analysis it's properly important to reiterate what a good game of

football that was. Excellent. Tottenham's intensity, and

Manchester City's quality and on another day they could have won the

game and been involved, but the way it went, Spurs deserved to win the

game. The nature of what you guys have picked out is praising Spurs,

understandably because they got the three points, but Manchester City

played their part. They did and I was surprised to hear Zabaleta be

disappointed. It was a fascinating game of football to watch and I

thought both sides played a huge part in an unbelievable spectacle,

really. Some of the play from city at times was beautiful to watch, but

as Pep Guardiola said, they came up against a better side.

If we look at one of our old favourites, high-intensity runs, or

sprints, we can see... But for all the running, it's got to be

coordinated? Yes, it's OK to say, we're going to player pressing game.

But the whole team must you singing off the same hymn sheet. And that's

exactly what it was today, from the first minute, they were pressing

Manchester City, forcing them into corners, into mistakes, with

everybody backing up, making sure they win the ball back for Spurs.

One of the most important things I thought was, people looking over

their shoulders thinking, is my mate coming? And it was this guy, most of

the time, Son, who was doing that. I'm off, everybody else, make sure

you follow. So they take the lead off Son? They do, and it's so

important. Danny Rose was phenomenal today. He is a left back and he was

there pressing right at the top. Look at this, pressing all the way

up to the goalkeeper, knowing that his team is behind him. We stick

together - if I go, we all go. Will other teams be able to do this

against City? I think Liverpool will be fit enough maybe, Arsenal,

Chelsea. But you have to be really fit to be able to do that against a

City. Because City as well, they still played, they were not

panicked, Tottenham were just really intense. You're going to pick out

one individual? Victor Wanyama was brilliant today, I thought. This was

the performance Tottenham fans have been waiting for. It has taken some

time for him to settle in and find his role, but today he was

absolutely brilliant. Winning it, getting it out to Danny Rose, who

played a huge part in the victory. It's OK pressing years of the team

did on many occasions, but you've got to win the ball back as well.

From an attacking point of view, it's so frustrating when you come up

against a midfielder who does this constantly, breaking up the play,

slowing it down and frustrating. Even in these situations, Tottenham

on the attack, he could be just cruising in front of his back four,

but he's not, he's continually working. This was what made me

realise he was fully tuned in today. He could just sit and relax, but he

released himself and he was there to clean up. Danny Rose, out of

position, who is there filling the gap? Victor Wanyama. Man of the

Match performance, absolutely brilliant. 21 tackles he made in

that game, more than any other Spurs player in a game this season record

plenty of chat about how Spurs would cope without Harry Kane - have they

found a different partnership, in Dele Alli and Son? Yes. And a very

effective one as well. They linked up with the world today. Son is very

confident at the moment. Nice little nutmeg here. Having a shot, and I

don't mind that. Here's Dele Alli, turning. Here years again, going

again, looking for a goal. This is a kind of Harry Kane vibe, as soon as

he gets in and around, he's looking to shoot. Gets a little bit of luck,

and then he's off, great finish from Dele. It was a lovely ball as well.

It really was. This time did not really get the shot off but that

could work out for them. He got a standing ovation, and rightly so.

You made the point before we came on air that when Pochettino sign him,

he did make the point that he could be someone who plays up front? There

was a cry for a striker to support Harry Kane, and he made it clear at

the time, listen, Son, he's come from Bayer Leverkusen, he can play

up front, we just have not seen it because Harry Kane was on fire. What

do you make over the penalty? I really find it uncomfortable. I

don't know if Lamela was told that he should take it. But Son is on

form, and he wants it. But Lamela has taken precedence. He must be the

senior guy or whatever. And it was a terrible penalty as well. Not only

that, but of all of the players, I thought he was a bit off it today. A

lot off it. Would you get involved? What you do not want it to become is

embarrassing. Danny Rose went over, and he just had to say to Son, look,

he's got the ball, let him take it, hopefully he sticks it away. It is

early in the season, so this could be a ridiculous question, but it

feels like they have gone under the radar a little bit this season so

far, Spurs, was that then laying down a title marker? I think you

have to say it, it's City they have beaten there. You have to say so,

yes. Definitely, 100%. So not that ridiculous, maybe!

Three more matches to come, but next to September's Goal of the Month.

Now, we could have shortlisted 20 goals this month,

But eventually the powers that be decided on this eight.

Antonio in the middle... Oh, brilliant! Absolutely stupendous!

But it was all about the genius, the sheer genius, of Dimitri Payet.

What a touch, that was glorious from Defour! It sent a bit of electricity

around Turf Moor! Oh, wow! That's the way to spark a game into life!

It's his first goal and it's an absolute duty! -- beauty! The shot

into the back of the net, what a beauty from Jordan Henderson! An

outstanding goal! Granit Xhaka! Oh, what a goal! What

an absolute screamer! King and Slimani furthest forward in

the penalty area. The Mari grey, superb goal from the Leicester City

substitute! It's his first goal for Leicester, and what a strike!

Stanislas! Oh, what a Caulker! That really is how to strike a ball from

way out. Brilliantly done, Walcott!

Sensational Arsenal goal! Sometimes accused of overplaying, but when

they get it right, it's worth watching!

Voting closes at 11.30, and we'll give the result

Burnley met Arsenal at Turf Moor, 20 years on from the replacing

of Bruce Rioch with a Frenchman to deal with a misfiring team.

Since then, Arsene Wenger has made his mark on English football.

The fact that I've done 20 years, for me, it's like I start the first

year exactly the same. I like real modern football, football made of

complex lines and pressure and football which comes out with quick

movements and offensive movements. It's not all about buying players

for crazy prices. You have to give the young players a chance. My

mission is of course to bring success for the team. Arsenal, the

champions, unbeaten from start to finish! Arsene Wenger wins a

record-equalling sixth FA Cup! I hate to look back, and I just want

to look back in order to use the history to improve. This week he

called it a love story. 20 years on, Arsene Wenger and Arsenal are just a

few miles away from where the first date happened, a 2-0 win at

Blackburn in 1996. You have to go back to September 1974 for Burnley's

last league win against the Gunners come who will be coming into this

one as confident as they can be. The same team starts today which played

Watford. Steven Defour has been a superb addition.

Petr Cech for David Ospina is the only change to the Arsenal side

which beat Barcelona in the Champions League on Wednesday. Both

goals in that game came from Theo Walcott, who has also netted in the

last two Premier League games, fitting for the player who has been

with Arsenal, and Arsene Wenger, the longest. Sean Dyche in his programme

notes has asked his players to throwback their shoulders and

embrace the task that confronts them. Sanchez was not ready for the

first time touch. Mesut Ozil! He miskick that.

That's how you last 20 years - deal with the stress by twiddling elastic

bands around your thumbs! There were three in the penalty area

wanting some sort of service. But it was going to take something a whole

lot more special than that to have a chance of scoring from there.

There's your answer to the question, why does Sean Dyche always sound

hoarse after a game. Right across the face, goal kick. Half cross,

half shot in the end. Back comes Walcott - ward kept

going, finding Boyd. Boyd managed to find Stephen Ward, who gets across

in. Lowton in... No offside, and Sam Vokes has put it wide! Some

brilliant Burnley football in the leader there. You wonder whether

some folks will get a better chance all game than that.

Held by Heaton yes, and Monreal sleep in. Attach a fortune as it

bounces off the knee of Bellerin. The goalkeeper was well-positioned.

Boyd, sharp turn. Mustafi was there to deal with it. Good awareness from

George Boyd. And Petr Cech had to sprint to save

the header from Berg Gudmundsson. Monreal always look like getting

beaten in the air there. Burnley's first corner of the match. Good one,

too. Not quite able to be turned in. It was Mustafi who got it away. The

header was from Vokes, and just away before the swinging leg of Hendrick

came in. Santi Cazorla. Here is Walcott. Will

he find any more joy? Montreal. Sanchez. Santi Cazorla. Ben Mee

fires it straight against his team-mate and the Arsenal players

howl for handball. I don't you can give handball when it is fired in at

that play -- pace. Corner for Arsenal.

Santi Cazorla. But goes Vokes, but he did not get to it. Wide of the

target from Sanchez. It hit the advertising hoardings hardened

bounce straight back on the field. On another day Sanchez might just

get that inside the post. It did in fact brush the outside of it.

Gudmundsson will look to win a corner, the best he can do. And he

will take it. What have they got prepared? Jeff Hendrick just had a

word to Ben Mee about who is running wear. They have both gone near, and

the ball has gone far and it's against the woodwork. Petr Cech was

beaten. Arfield back in, and Vokes makes that easier for Petr Cech.

Both sides hitting the frame of the goal, and Burnley more decisively.

Michael Keane has got the taste, having headed in against Watford.

Mustafi. Alexis Sanchez. The shot is

deflected and it's an Arsenal corner, if there is time it. Message

Ozil never does anything in a hurry, he has his own tempo to play at and

he resisted the temptation to put it over. Sanchez does now and it is

scrambled home. The ball is over the line and Arsenal have won it with

just about the last touch of the match. Incredible ending at Turf

Moor. Oxlade-Chamberlain was in there, Hector Bellerin too. And it

looks as though Oxlade-Chamberlain may have got the touch that has

brought three points for Arsenal. He actually played it against

Koscielny. Helped across Oxlade-Chamberlain swung. Koscielny

was pretty much in his way and it hits Koscielny and crosses the line.

Past the unfortunate Tom Heaton and goes in of the elbow of the Arsenal

centre-back. That is all Burnley can do, because that is all there was

time for. It's a familiar scoreline. 1-0, to the Arsenal.

A bit fortunate today to win the game because we were a bit jaded

physically and we made some technical mistakes in the first

half, especially, but in the second half we kept going and created

chances but Burnley defended very well and at every corner they looked

like they could score and in the end it's the kind of game you can win

1-0 and lose 1-0. Did you get a couple of strokes of luck with the

winning goal? Certainly. From the bench we couldn't see anything at

all but I've been told that we were a bit fortunate. We got the

defensive position wrong on the corner and allow players to run-off

on the back stick but it is inevitably a handball goal and

that's very frustrating. An element of offside or is that irrelevant?

That is a close thing. I think she only gets the foot from the header

but then it clearly hits him on the hand -- Koscielny. That is

frustrating after a good afternoon of work and the players certainly

deserved something from the game. When you come here and you imagine

football like it was with the stadium and dressing room still like

30 years ago, and they have improved the quality inside but it's an

old-fashioned stadium and they tend to disappear. The crowd is massively

behind them and for Burnley to play in the Premier League is already

something special, and that is what you respect in England. Let's go

straight to the winning goal. Although Sean Dyche summed it up

well in that they did not pick up the runners and Koscielny kicked it

up on their own hand and it shouldn't have been studied.

Anything more than that? No, let's just move on. Let's look at the

goal. My initial thought was, was he

offside? I thought Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain gets a touch but

there is a clip where we see he does not, but most importantly it hits

his hand. They are so fortunate. That touch from Koscielny is going

wide or over the bar and he does not contact well. The referee is blocked

out but I'm still surprised you didn't see it, because it clearly

hit his arm. Alex doesn't touch the ball and it's off Koscielny, so he's

not offside but it's handball and Arsenal got away with one. But as

Sean Dyche said, they did not defended particularly well. Having

defended so well all game for them to give that one away, that was very

unfortunate. Arsene Wenger said they were fortunate, which was a bit

lacklustre on the performance? The Chelsea game, that's the intensity

you expect, but he said they looked a bit jaded and they were today. It

was very slow and ponderous. It was quite confusing. You see Petr Cech,

and you think the defenders will get the ball and play it out from the

back and try to suck Burnley on to them and hit them through the

midfield but it didn't happen. Petr Cech is knocking it long. We haven't

got a big up -- big man up there to knock it up to. This happened here,

the defenders are not even looking to get the ball and played through

the midfield. You have Ozil and because all, -- Cazorla, and there

is no want to flick it onto, and he flicks it onto nobody. There wasn't

much energy about them. But this is where you want Sanchez in the area,

but Xhaka could be on it. This is how slow it was. Can he get that in

there? No one in there to attack it so he comes back out and this is how

it was for Arsenal today. It was very slow. It needed a bit of energy

and it didn't quite happen. Early break it up and in the end it ends

up all the way back with Petr Cech. They were tired. They seemed tired

today. You can't blame Bellerin. No, you can't. He makes a great move.

But you want someone to be attacking so he can whip it in first time. Not

too much effort for anyone to get in the box so they come out and they

end up with it coming out. Even though Sanchez has done well in the

role up front for Arsenal, in games like that, that is where they miss

Giroud. You do miss the focal point. But when you have Xhaka and Ozil and

Cazorla, three really good footballing midfielders, maybe you

can stay further up and try to occupy a couple of defenders and get

the ball into you and eat your trickery and all the stuff Sanchez

might be able to do -- do your trickery. I am delighted they got it

and I was gutted for Burnley because they did defend well and deserved

something. And when you saw how the goal came about, they were unlucky.

They did defend well. They did. Burnley were very organised and you

could tell they had worked on the formation some weeks on the training

ground. Without Andrei Gray they have gone to a three in midfield

that relationship with Marnie, Keane, and Mee, that was something

they could go to and believe in. Marney was never too far away from

the centre halves. They are not flying around having to press people

but they are well organised and they are closing of the spaces. Any time

the ball came into the box, watch Marney, he drops in between Michael

Keane Mee. That is why Sean Dyche was so frustrated because any cross

that came in, they cleared it easily. An interesting contrast when

you showed as the Spurs game, Spurs were at it, where Burnley were more

about control, let them have it and control our own space. It's about

understanding what is in your ranks. For Burnley, knowing they wouldn't

have as much possession, that was the right play. Almost perfect. We

can go back 20 years and look at Arsenal's first match, which was

against Blackburn. For younger viewers, it was before HD. Torque is

through this. -- talk us through this. But look at the pace from this

man, blinding. What a touch. A very good take on the left. I remember

the boss said, beautiful goal. You've got to win that game. I did,

and it was a really good game. -- two in that game. It literally went

from black-and-white to colour with his reign. He is obviously on the

list to be the next England manager and his contract at Arsenal is up at

the end of the season. If he said, Ian, what should I do, what would

you say? I would say don't do the England job. Why? It's too much

pressure, and the amount of sticky gets from Arsenal,, and then he goes

to England and you get that kind of stick as well. That's a selfish

reason, personally. Next up it's Manchester United

against Stoke City. Before last week's win over

Leicester, Jose Mourinho had into one functioning football team?

how to fit all his superstars Einstein people can speak and

criticise the work of other people, but for me, it is fine.

The dropping of Rooney and Fellaini seemed to solve it,

So who's the Einstein now - Mourinho or the critics?

And can United be equally impressive against a Stoke side

As Einstein once said himself, the important thing is not to stop

questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. Marino's own

current question to himself will be how can his team hit the current

heights against Leicester. There's always a question around Wayne

Rooney, and today he is a question again where Jose Mourinho names the

team that beat Leicester City with daily blind at left-back. -- Daley

Blind. Joe Allen is passed fit and Marco Arnautovic makes his 100th

Premier League appearance while Wilfreid Bony looks to end a run of

17 games without a goal. Both sets of players wearing black armbands in

respect for David Herd, seven years a Manchester United striker in the

60s and later went on to play for Stoke, and he passed away yesterday

aged 82. Lingard to bring in Valencia. Up against Erik Pieters.

Pogba. Very congested in the central areas but is still found a way

through. Ibrahimovic. Good save from Grant. You would have backed Zlatan

Ibrahimovic all the way there, but full credit to league run. He only

started playing in the Premier League two weeks ago Thomas thrust

into the limelight, and that is a really good strong hand to his right

hand side -- Lee Grant. Denying Manchester United the lead within

two minutes. On from Whelan. Well one by Smalling.

Manchester United made a terrifically fast art against

Leicester last week and they are trying to replicate that. -- fast

start. He only really has Wilfreid Bony to aim for. He could not get

there. In came Cameron and De Gea, who might have been further

extended, delighted to make a save. This was an opportunity for Stoke.

Nobody near Geoff Cameron and they could not really extend David de

Gea. It's those type of chances that don't come across -- along to

frequently at Old Trafford. Ibrahimovic. Lingard. Pogba.

Scintillating football. The world's most expensive player just could not

finish it off. Watch this over and over again from Ibrahimovic. Pogba

did not have the finish to match. Blind. Good movement from Mata. Nice

touch. Rashford. Pogba. Mata went for the chip. He had Lee Grant

backpedalling to keep it out. Terrific vision from Mata, knew

exactly what he was doing. Good reactions from the on loan Derby

goalkeeper. He hadn't played a game in the first team since January, but

here he is keeping a clean sheet intact Old Trafford. How much

longer? Free header for Pogba and he knows he should have found the

target, and so does his manager. Nobody needs to tell him. That was a

let off for Stoke. Would have been nothing that Lee Grant could have

done. Suffice to say, they've had their recent defensive problems. 16

Premier League games that stoke have gone without a clean sheet.

Ibrahimovic. He hasn't given it up. Martins Indi sticking closely with

him. What a ball from Ibrahimovic! And

what a save to deny Lingard. So far, the Stoke goalkeeper is having a

fantastic day. Jose Mourinho will wonder why his team are not in

front. The reason is Lee Grant in the Stoke goal. Lingard is onside,

and the goalkeeper is coming to meet him. And he did really well, Lee

Grant. Foul by Herrera on Allen. That was a dangerous tackle from

Ander Herrera. Studs up, nowhere near the ball. With another referee,

that card might have been a different colour. Joe Allen!

Couldn't finish an extremely promising move for Stoke. Chicanery

and Arnautovic involved, and it came back to the Welsh international, who

scored his first goal for the club against West Brom. Manchester United

are introducing Rooney and Martial. Martial scored in the 3-0 win here

last season against Stoke. Chance for Martial to run at Johnson

for the first time. And his found Rooney. Martial! Breakthrough,

courtesy of the substitute! Anthony Martial, introduced by Jose

Mourinho, scores his first goal under Mourinho. And Manchester

United have the lead! Well, he's scored 17 goals last season, and

he's off and running this season. It was a really smart finish from the

Frenchman! No chance for Lee Grant on that occasion. Stoke's stubborn

resistance broken. Relief for Jose Mourinho.

Cameron trying to track Rashford, who was looking for Pogba - and he

found him as well! Ibrahimovic hit it against himself. Daley Blind! His

fellow countryman Martins Indi made a crucial block! Ibrahimovic did not

give this up. Martins Indi in the right place at the right time.

Manchester United corner. That goal has lifted the crowd as well as the

players. Taken short to Rashford. Ibrahimovic! Another good save by

Lee Grant at his near post. United going for the jugular now.

Lifted in by Cameron. De Gea happy to leave it for Blind. Stoke throw.

Johnson, deflection, off the bar and in from Allen! Joe Allen scores for

the second game running! And Manchester United are pegged back.

And Old Trafford is silenced. It was deflected effort from Johnson, their

didn't hold it. And Joe Allen was the first to react after it came

back off the bar. He's had another impressive game for

Stoke, and he's marked it with his second goal for the club. Just look

at the reaction from his manager. Only the fifth goal that Stoke have

scored all season - and it could be a priceless one for them.

Lee Grant has saved them again. The only if they do get a point from

this game, the manager will shake the hand of Lee Grant first. That

was the latest in his repertoire of saves from today.

Pogba's header - mightily close to regaining the lead. Shake of the

head from Mourinho. United, best performance of the

season. The players did everything. Be honest, I did everything, too.

Even after 1-1, I made another change, and everybody was giving

more and more and more. We tried everything, but today, I think we

could be here maybe all day without winning the game. But we played

very, very well, I have to say that. It was a big performance and a big

result. From my point of view, I've seen this coming the last couple of

games. We have two positive performances before this, and we

just carried on in the same ilk. I thought we were solid and organised

and committed. And we were always a threat, which you need to have when

you come here. We cannot believe it, we did everything to win, we created

maybe 11, 12 chances, the goalkeeper was the best player for Stoke. I

think we played even better than against Leicester. We should have

won 5-0. But that is football. Five or six weeks ago, I was in a

difficult situation, and thankfully Stoke have realised I've got

something to offer the football club. The first bonus was being on

the team sheet today. The second thing was coming away with something

which Stoke have not done for a long time. Very, very pleased with the

outcome today. Do you agree that it was their best performance of the

season and they could not have done much more? Totally agree. I'm saying

that to everything! This analysis thing, you agree with the manager!

Mark Hughes was saying that he thought it was a good performance -

they could have been out of sight first half. They were very fortunate

today. What Mourinho said was spot on. The 'keeper today, like we said,

he was brilliant. This was a great chance, Pogba does fantastic. For

me, Ibrahimovic, just finish it. He doesn't, he gives it the eyes, tries

to be clever. He's given the goalkeeper the opportunity to save

that. Although I have to say, Lee Grant was in inspiring form today.

He was unbelievable. He stays on his feet here, he's read the situation

very well. But Man United, they just created chance after chance. This

was a beautiful flick from Ibrahimovic. It's so free-flowing,

this is when you love seeing United. And then another chance for Mata.

It's showing that they're in that creative mode and playing with

confidence. This one, Jesse Lingard, delighted for him, got himself in

the England squad. Always trying to get himself in the box to finish,

that's what I like about him. When you see the chances that your

showing here, arguably, this is a more fluent performance than the

Leicester one, when three of the goals came from set pieces and they

only really dominated for 25 minutes? We're not showing the times

when they hit the crossbar, Pogba towards the end, he's got to stick

that one away. There were so many opportunities for minute to put this

one to bed. And one final thing - Stoke have had problems with Jack

Butland and Shay Given as well, and Lee Grant has served his time in the

lower leagues, 437 appearances in the Football League. And only a

couple in the Premier League, but he was definitely Man of the Match

today, and Stoke defended well? You know what, they should not have

still been involved in this game, but thanks to Lee Grant, they were.

They have come under criticism of late from a defensive point of view,

conceded quite a few goals. But in the crucial times, they stood

strong, I felt. The ball is coming in, Shawcross has cleared one, got

his head on it. This time, Geoff Cameron, who has got that size,

clearing balls in the latter stages of the game. And then again, Martins

Indi just getting his positioning right. I can understand what Mark

Hughes was saying in terms of he had seen this coming, the commitment was

there, the defending was better towards the end, but... As you say,

a big afternoon for Shawcross, because they have been criticised

defensively. And the last time he went head-to-head with Ibrahimovic,

it ended his England career. Unfortunately for him. And Wilfried

Bony? Yes, we know he's got the pedigree, but Stoke need goals. It's

not happening for him. When you watch him, it just seems like he's a

little bit off it. For me, he's got to try and be a focal point and keep

the ball for Stoke to get them going. Here he does brilliantly and

then he gives it away. This time, just get it, brilliant, get yourself

in and around the box - but he doesn't, he plays it into no mans

land, which is what Stoke don't need. What they need is this - him

to get the ball, give it to Arnautovic and then get yourself in

the box. Because he has got the capability of scoring goals, and

they're going to need him too. Confidence? Of course, it is. But I

think with games, he can live on himself up. Regular football?

Absolutely. He needs to play regularly, he doesn't look fits,

either. Leicester's continued

Champions League success has masked a moderate start to the Premier

League. They face a Southampton side

who impressed in dismantling At the King Power Stadium,

Steve Wilson. Islam Slimani's goal against Porto

was his third Leicester goal in only four games. Claudio Ranieri picks a

familiar looking XI. Southampton have not conceded in five games, and

Charlie Austin has scored five in his last four, a sudden blossoming

which might just have caught the eye of Gareth Southgate, who is here

today with an England squad to pick. A penny for big Sam's forts? Well,

there is an unfortunate phrase. The last time Leicester lost a league

game here was last set timber to Arsenal. The last time Southampton

conceded a goal, it was this set timber, to Arsenal, five games ago.

-- it was this September. Charlie Austin Cilic ball in by

Cedric. Austin got his head on it but it was straight at the

goalkeeper. The assistant manager is act today, and retains the full

support of his club whilst an investigation continues. Th, with

Robert Huth coming across to meet him.

Into Slimani, blocked by Romeu. First hint of a threat from

Leicester! Mahrez running and van Dijk. Now, Southampton, with Davies.

Charlie Austin is in a good position... The angle is very tight,

and he's hit the post! He's so unfortunate! Southampton are putting

together some delightful football! And Charlie Austin is very unlucky

not to put them ahead, from what seemed to be an impossible angle. He

has previously been in England squads. In May 2015, he was called

up by Roy Hodgson. Praia da Luz onto it. Can he beat

first? -- Vardy is onto it. Blocked by room a oh and it is a corner --

Romeu. What a let off for Southampton. Van Dijk was way short.

Vardy was onto it, and from there, he started performing heroics with

not one, but not two, three blocks. Leicester fans making their own

atmosphere at the moment. The game is not offering them much. Redmond.

Inviting from Redmond. A good ball, and he took it well. A pretty

comfortable save for Schmeichel. Neither manager looks overly

impressed. It has sneaked through everyone to

Charlie Austin, and he tried to lift it over cash but Schmeichel. --

Kasper Schmeichel. Trying to take the keeper by surprise, but

Schmeichel read it. Clearest chance of the game. Drinkwater, in behind,

but side netting. Holding off Oriol Romeu, but got the better of him in

the end. The Mari Gray has won it. -- Demarai

Gray has won it. Wrestling it back. Christian Fuchs with that missile.

It ends up going fake Southampton head, or did for us to get a glove

on it -- going off a Southampton head. Curled in towards Ocker Zaki.

That is close as well. -- Ocker Zaki. -- Okazaki. And that is

whipped in it might have been Joseph Fonte who got the touch rather than

slim Mane, and then it is Okazaki. That is a really good header -- slim

ani. He wasn't far away. Having a row with somebody, Charlie Austin.

It is a Southampton throw, which is played to Long. It might further

Ward-Prowse. That is a really good chance, and James Ward-Prowse has

butted over the top of the crossbar. Caught out a bit the throat in. --

throwing. -- put it. Just leaning back and got underneath it, over the

bar and the chance has gone. There have not been many clear-cut

opportunities. Needs to be quick. Ulloa. That kinds

of sums it up. Martin Atkinson blows his whistle. They had to settle for

a point apiece. Claudio Bravo are you happy with a point today? Yes,

because Southampton deserved to win and they played better than us but

we conceded too many chances for them to score a goal. There were

many chances to win the game, and opportunities. It is a little bit

disappointing, because I have the sensation that we can win this game.

You do not change your team very much these days, a little different

from the old days, but is that the problem for you when you have big

Champions League matches and high-intensity matches? Is that a

problem with the next game? It could be. For us, everything is a new

experience. We are playing in the Champions League and now I have to

decide if it is better to give some people more rest. Sometimes I change

seven players they play better than us and maybe this reason.

He's an experienced manager but he is learning how to cope with the

Champions League and the Premier League. Absolutely, and Leicester,

they are 1 million miles away from something like that so they have to

learn that quickly and they will need to rotate and get people into

the squad so you can rest certain people. It's about trusting his

players as well. He has had so much trust in eight core group of players

that won him the title and to have to go away from that and say we have

games coming up, importing games with being in the Champions League,

but they are emotionally draining because they are big games. When you

are trusting players to come in and do a big job, or trusting one of the

regulars, saying they might be off the pace. Trusting players to come

and fill the squad out and help to fill in games like that. If you look

at the Leicester performances over a certain amount of time you will

realise the substitutions he makes. Albright Anand Demerai Gray --

Albrighton and Demerai Gray, and is he going to start Musa now? I trust

you, that's why I've brought you, so that's why I freshened up the squad.

Give some ex-pro advice on Jamie Vardy and Austin. With the chances

the Jamie, there is hesitation. This is brilliant what he has done. Have

a look here. He loses the opportunity to put the ball inside,

and that is where he wants to put the ball there. Fraser Forster is

bearing down on him. That little bit of hesitation. And that is good as

he took his eye off the ball. It is good the way he eases the defender

rout. But he is trying to look at Kasper Schmeichel and he tries to

chip in. Watched Charlie Austin, and he does look, he just chips. You

have to see the goalkeeping -- goalkeeper is going down. So is

Jamie Vardy with a lack of confidence, and is Charlie Austin

with confidence? Yes, absolutely. Jamie Vardy, a fraction of a second,

he has given Fraser Forster the chance to come out and smother it

and I don't know why he has done that. Last season he would have been

onto it, bang. I have gone through Claude Puel's post-match interviews,

but I can't see him praising Romeu. He was brilliant today. He has

filled the void for Wanyama. We have a graphic of stats he did. It was

the jewels he had won. He is there as an enforcer, winning 90% of those

battles. I watched him in Europe than they did not play that well but

he was the one player that stood out. He is comfortable on the ball,

spraying it around, bringing others into play, but the thing I like

about him most, he has lost it here but his reaction to get back and

help out his defence, baguette in the right areas and clean-up the

mess, really, that they have created. Because he was always there

to do it and he was comfortable under pressure and players are

pressing him and he was like, get off me, I will get my team on the

attack. This was phenomenal. He is winning the first one, blocks the

second, then blocks the third. He has a massive fist bump because he

knows how good it was and a lovely delivery to the striker. He had 90%

passing accuracy today. I know I say this a lot, but Southampton, the

philosophy of knowing you have someone to step in and let another

player go, it's the next one of the conveyor belt. He has settled and he

can replace them. How much longer can they do it? This year it was

Sadio Mane and Palais. -- Pelle. Time now for the weekend's

other goals, starting Sigurdsson. Back into the near post,

and it is in. Prodded over the line by Leroy Fer. The ball headed in at

the far post, flicked in towards Leroy Fer. He added the finishing

touch. Coutinho plants the ball into the middle of the wall. Back in by

Henderson. Firmino explanation mark Liverpool back in the game. And

Roberto Firmino is there for Liverpool to score his first --

fourth goal of the season. Hooked up high in the air, but no

distance from Barrow and Firmino tries the shot. Blocked, and the

referee gives the Liverpool team a penalty. Rang Dell's arms touch the

back of his shirt, and James Milner will try to give Liverpool the lead,

and that's precisely what he does. That could be a hammer blow for

Swansea City today. Excellent penalty from Milner. Rangel with the

delivery, and van der Hoorn cannot turn it home. What a chance in the

last moment of the game. And Swansea's last opportunity of

salvaging a point has surely gone now.

Cost through the challenge of Davies. This is Willian. Can he get

that shot away? He can. Chelsea take the lead on the power. Willian using

Hazard is the decoy. He bends it in magnificently. Matic. On he goes.

Might have to do it all himself. Diego Costa! 2-0!. Diego Costa knew

what was on as the ball rolled his way. It's a long way back for Hull

City now. Smith. Trying to find Wilshere.

Deflection on the cross. Wilson's header. 1-0, Bournemouth. Callum

Wilson, and a deflection on the cross. A lovely finish. Watford's

throw. Amrabat. Deeney. 1-1. Troy Deeney levels for Watford. Well

done, Amrabat. And for Troy Deeney, that is a routine finish. Here is

King. He has got good feet. He has Wilshere in front of him. Josh King

going alone, deflected, and he has scored. Bournemouth back in front.

Josh King, within a minute of coming onto the pitch, put Eddie Howe's

side back in front. Free kick, curled in. Success! Another goal

from any other substitute. Isaac success with his first for Watford.

It's all square again. Third corner of the game for

Middlesbrough. It is of the line by Milner. The referee says it is a

goal, and Middlesbrough lead. Stuani crept free, and more trouble for

West Ham. Just got a yard away from the poor marking. Clearly over the

line and that is why the goal decision system is there.

Payet, is this his moment? It's his moment! Sensational goal! His season

has barely flickered. And now it has ignited.

Good determination from Yacob. And here is Chadli! It's a really nicely

taken goal by Nacer Chadli. He has helped himself to his third goal for

Albion in just his fourth game. Duncan Watmore... Useful run.

There's the equaliser! Patrick van Aanholt! He plays the ball into the

ground and it loops up over the helpless Foster. That's got the

place buzzing. Free kick right on the edge of the

penalty area. Lukaku! And they made the most of that opportunity! Romelu

Lukaku with his fifth goal in six Premier League games, to give

Everton the lead. Benteke jumping... And jumping

superbly! He had so much to do there. What a leap and an inch

perfect header. And that's another good header! It's Delaney this time!

But the flag is up! Watch James McArthur. He's offside! Does the

official think that he has interfered with the goalkeeper's

vision? Match Of The Day is on the iPlayer

earlier this season. Saturday's show can be viewed

from midnight tonight, while Match Of The Day

2 is on the iPlayer And there's more analysis

of the weekend's football on the Monday Night Club on 5

Live tomorrow evening. OK, the votes are in -

here's the result of And there is your top three. Theo

Walcott with 11%, Granit Xhaka with 21%, but a comprehensive winner for

September, Liverpool's Jordan Henderson.

It's away by Cahill. And the shot into the back of the net... What a

beauty by Jordan Henderson! An outstanding goal! A worthy winner?

Tamara Gray should have been somewhere in there. But it's pretty

good, to be honest. It's an unbelievable strike, to be fair.

This is how the Premier League table looks this evening.

Manchester City's lead has been cut to just one point by Tottenham,

who are now the only unbeaten team in the top flight.

Arsenal's late winner puts them into third,

ahead of Liverpool on goal difference, while Manchester

Stoke's draw at Old Trafford moves them off the bottom,

Here's 2 Good, 2 Bad. Something tells me the couple behind the goal

were supporting different teams! Troy Deeney NEARLY scored one of the

goals of the season. Nearly. Smart suits all around required at

Manchester United - unless you are the world's most expensive player.

Shock horror clearance from Lovren? You decide. Skills of today - Eric

Bailly? And then young son at Spurs. And finally, Iheanacho. And Tony

Pulis was confused over the weekend... Desperately disappointed

we lost today. Oh, no, Drew, sorry. Drew, Tony, Drew! Thank you very

much to Jermaine and,. 20 years and counting for Arsene Wenger at

Arsenal. And to close the show,

we asked Ian to give us his best XI of the Wenger era -

and he couldn't pick himself!
