:00:42. > :00:46.The Masters, the Grand National and the start of the cricket season
:00:47. > :00:48.means the sporting spring has sprung, and now the Premier League
:00:49. > :00:55.Two games for you tonight - plus Saturday's action.
:00:56. > :01:05.Everton faced Leicester City, who remarkably have won six straight
:01:06. > :01:07.matches since sacking Claudio Ranieri.
:01:08. > :01:09.In the last six weeks, everything's changed -
:01:10. > :01:30.My players believe until the end. Creek water, what a goal! Fantastic
:01:31. > :01:43.strike! We play without pressure. Mahrez! Oh, ASA! Absolutely
:01:44. > :01:58.brilliant! Jamie Vardy, great chance, and there was never any
:01:59. > :02:07.doubt! We are playing for our fans. Craig Shakespeare's Leicester City
:02:08. > :02:13.Revolution continues! Leicester's changing fortunes face a stern test
:02:14. > :02:18.today. Everton have won all six league games at home in 2017. Ashley
:02:19. > :02:22.Williams is suspended, so Matthew Pennington gets another start.
:02:23. > :02:26.Morgan Schneiderlin is welcomed back after a calf injury, replacing
:02:27. > :02:32.Gareth Barry. Craig Shakespeare had only made two team changes since
:02:33. > :02:35.taking charge of Leicester, but with a Champions League quarterfinal in
:02:36. > :02:47.Madrid on the horizon, he makes five today. Amongst those left out is
:02:48. > :02:52.Riyad Mahrez. So, it is Leicester, with just six away points all
:02:53. > :02:57.season, who get us under way. Everton, looking to make it seven
:02:58. > :03:05.out of seven at home in the Premier League. In doing so, it would be
:03:06. > :03:12.creating a new club record. That has broken straight to Mirallas. Gets
:03:13. > :03:17.away from Amartey, and Benalouane... Still going, was he taken down...?
:03:18. > :03:24.Davies! What a start! Tom Davis, with his second Everton goal and a
:03:25. > :03:33.perfect start for Everton! Made by Mirallas, who held off three
:03:34. > :03:39.challenges here. No foul given and Davies went on and calmly slotted it
:03:40. > :03:50.past Schmeichel. Composure from the 18-year-old. Leicester, caught cold.
:03:51. > :03:53.That goal was timed at 30 seconds, the joint fastest in the Premier
:03:54. > :04:12.League this season. Leighton Baines gets it back and
:04:13. > :04:18.tries to feed Davies. Irresistible start from Everton.
:04:19. > :04:26.Here goes grey for Leicester. And they have got Slimani totally
:04:27. > :04:33.unmarked. Here he is... Robles couldn't keep it out, 1-1! We
:04:34. > :04:37.haven't played four minutes yet! Slimani, who came off the bench to
:04:38. > :04:44.score against Sunderland in the week, in from the start today, and
:04:45. > :04:52.he has his eighth goal of the season. And it all came from an
:04:53. > :04:58.Everton attack. An hour I grey with the awareness to find Slimani. --
:04:59. > :05:16.Gray with the awareness. And that was the only stop Jamie
:05:17. > :05:37.Vardy there by Matthew Pennington. Free kick come Leicester. Marc
:05:38. > :05:46.Albrighton, ready to take it. Albrighton! And straight in! And
:05:47. > :05:51.Leicester lead! Marc Albrighton, on his 100th appearance for the club
:05:52. > :06:03.gets his first Premier League goal in a year. And from one down,
:06:04. > :06:11.Leicester lead 2-1, and we've yet to get to the ten minute mark.
:06:12. > :06:26.Leicester have only won once away all season. That was at West Ham
:06:27. > :06:52.last month. Lukaku! 2-2! 12 in 13 O'Meley game
:06:53. > :06:58.for Romelu Lukaku. 12 in his last eight at Goodison. And this was a
:06:59. > :07:15.simple one, all about the delivery from Ross Barkley.
:07:16. > :07:26.Yet another goal for Romelu Lukaku. And it gets Everton back on terms.
:07:27. > :07:35.Leighton Baines in space on the left, found by Barkley. It has
:07:36. > :07:49.dropped for Mirallas. Idrissa Gueye... And again, deflected...
:07:50. > :07:55.Everton corner. Trying to add to his one career goals, the Senegal
:07:56. > :08:02.international, in the Premier League.
:08:03. > :08:11.It has come through to Barkley! Wonderful work from Schmeichel. He
:08:12. > :08:21.was looking for the flag, which didn't arrive. It was the block from
:08:22. > :08:28.Tom Davis which made this - and Barkley was onside. He thought he
:08:29. > :08:39.had made it 3-2 before Schmeichel intervened. Headed in by Phil
:08:40. > :08:47.Jagielka! Two in a week for the Everton captain! After his goal at
:08:48. > :08:56.Old Trafford, his first of the season, he follows it up with this
:08:57. > :08:59.header from five yards out. Got up in between Slimani and Benalouane
:09:00. > :09:09.and simply cushioned it into the back of the net.
:09:10. > :09:16.If the second 45 minutes is half as good as the first, there will be no
:09:17. > :09:26.problem with the entertainment value. Everton looking for their
:09:27. > :09:38.first league double over Leicester in 30 years. Corner, Everton.
:09:39. > :09:56.Mirallas takes it. Lukaku! Two for him and four for Everton Steely
:09:57. > :10:09.Premier League's top scorer at it again. And his team have a two-goal
:10:10. > :10:11.cushion. Leicester didn't deal with it and Lukaku was in the right place
:10:12. > :10:35.at the right time. Leicester corner, just a fourth of
:10:36. > :10:55.the game. -- just their fourth. And the header was from the
:10:56. > :11:03.substitute Ulloa with his first touch. What an entrance at would
:11:04. > :11:10.have been. It was blocked by Idrissa Gueye, who wouldn't know too much
:11:11. > :11:13.about it. He has always loved a good show, and this has been
:11:14. > :11:45.entertaining. Taken short to drink water, back to
:11:46. > :12:13.Mahrez... Ulloa! Fantastic stop from Robles. What a save.
:12:14. > :12:21.Another excellent day at the Goodison office for Everton and
:12:22. > :12:27.Ronald Koeman. Seven home league wins in a row, and in doing so,
:12:28. > :12:34.inflicts the first defeat on Leicester under Craig Shakespeare.
:12:35. > :12:39.Ronald, fantastic game to watch, from the manager's point of view,
:12:40. > :12:48.your view is what? It was a crazy ten minutes in the game at the
:12:49. > :12:51.start. After 22 minutes, 2-2, it was really not what we expect from the
:12:52. > :12:57.beginning. Yes, to score the goals, but not to concede two in ten
:12:58. > :13:00.minutes. I think we played some fantastic football in the first
:13:01. > :13:05.half. I think it's one of the most complete performances of the team of
:13:06. > :13:10.this season trainer was a bit of a basketball game early doors, it was
:13:11. > :13:13.a bit too open for me. Obviously, I'm really disappointed that we
:13:14. > :13:18.weren't able to come away with a victory. Everything you have touched
:13:19. > :13:21.has turned to gold since you took the hot seat, so what do you find
:13:22. > :13:26.out about yourself and your players today? I think we have said before,
:13:27. > :13:31.we don't dwell on the wins, we move onto the next game. We can't dwell
:13:32. > :13:34.on it because we are in training tomorrow, preparing for a big game
:13:35. > :13:42.on Wednesday. What was that like to play in? I found myself in a lot of
:13:43. > :13:46.space when it fell to me, so it was a great feeling to get the gold. It
:13:47. > :13:51.was your second one, and you got a new long-term contract, things keep
:13:52. > :13:56.getting better and better? Yeah, I keep working hard and it seems to be
:13:57. > :14:02.going well. Five changes today, was that purely with an eye on
:14:03. > :14:07.Wednesday? No, it is purely with an eye on the big game we have got
:14:08. > :14:11.coming up. I need to use the squad, the squad is big enough but we were
:14:12. > :14:15.not quite at it today. Would it have been helpful to Leicester to play
:14:16. > :14:21.this yesterday? It would, but again, we know the situation and we have to
:14:22. > :14:28.get on with it. Of all the strikers you have worked with, is he right at
:14:29. > :14:30.the top? Yes. He's one of the best strikers in the world. And I think
:14:31. > :14:38.the boys improving in different aspects. I can't change the boy in
:14:39. > :14:42.how you need to finish the opportunities, because in my
:14:43. > :14:47.opinion, he's the best and we will try to do everything to keep him in
:14:48. > :14:55.Everton. But it's always the final decision is by the player, though.
:14:56. > :15:01.Craig Shakespeare calling at a basketball game. What a cracking,
:15:02. > :15:05.entertaining game for us to watch. It was a brilliant game. With the
:15:06. > :15:09.goal coming 30 seconds or so into the match, it became very open. I
:15:10. > :15:12.don't think Ronald Koeman will be delighted with the way his side
:15:13. > :15:16.defended after they went a goal up, but I felt as though Everton had too
:15:17. > :15:25.much today. They were so good going forward. As the game progressed,
:15:26. > :15:27.Barkley came into it, Lukaku and Davis had an excellent game. Everton
:15:28. > :15:30.deserved to win. What a wonderful tribute from Ronald Koeman, who's
:15:31. > :15:32.played with some of the best strikers ever to have played, and he
:15:33. > :15:37.says Lukaku is one of the best strikers of the ball now. I have a
:15:38. > :15:40.lot of respect for Koeman, and that's massive praise. Behind the
:15:41. > :15:45.scenes, doing something similar on the training ground. It's getting
:15:46. > :15:55.into that lie in state of mind, he plays like a pussycat most of the
:15:56. > :15:57.time but when he's fired up, he's awesome and they couldn't cope with
:15:58. > :15:59.him. Tom Davies terrific for Everton, Rand further than anyone
:16:00. > :16:05.else on the Goodison Park pitch. He ran daily 12 kilometres today. The
:16:06. > :16:09.way he started, he -- it helps him. He's constantly on the move. You
:16:10. > :16:13.doesn't just pass forward and play forward, he will run forward without
:16:14. > :16:17.the ball as well. He gets his rewards by keeping up with Morales.
:16:18. > :16:21.A lot of midfield players will try to support from behind and not
:16:22. > :16:25.necessarily get with Morales. When he lays that ball off, he's
:16:26. > :16:29.immediately looking to get beyond Lukaku. I don't think Everton have
:16:30. > :16:33.had a box to box midfield player since maybe Tim Kehoe left, that can
:16:34. > :16:38.get beyond the striker. I think he has that ability. His choice of path
:16:39. > :16:43.is always very good. One and two touch passing around the penalty
:16:44. > :16:47.area. When it comes to these little give and those, get into a
:16:48. > :16:50.goal-scoring position. One thing that is undervalued is the
:16:51. > :16:54.competitive streak that is in him. This is a brilliant tackle. It
:16:55. > :16:59.almost creates another goal for Ross Barkley. He has the ingredients of
:17:00. > :17:03.going onto that next level I think, as he has done, sign a new five-year
:17:04. > :17:07.contract this week, if he continues to progress, Everton have a real
:17:08. > :17:11.star in the making. His decision-making, whether it's a pass
:17:12. > :17:17.or his position on the pitch, seems to be magnificent for such a young
:17:18. > :17:22.man? He's 18 years of age and his decision-making, his football
:17:23. > :17:25.intelligence, he gives a really good balance. He's a breath of fresh air.
:17:26. > :17:28.He's exceeding expectations. I'm not sure if he was that highly rated
:17:29. > :17:32.coming through the youth setup. Is not as gifted as a Barkley but his
:17:33. > :17:40.intelligence is up there with the best of them. What about Ross
:17:41. > :17:45.Barkley's cross for Lukaku? We talk about whipping the ball, it's a ball
:17:46. > :17:49.that says put me in the back of the net. He wraps his foot around that.
:17:50. > :17:54.It almost cuts Lukaku, it has so much whip on it. It's a beautiful
:17:55. > :17:59.pass. A very gifted footballer, no doubt. It shows what he has got,
:18:00. > :18:02.Ross Barkley, total quality. He's another one that is continuously
:18:03. > :18:06.linked with a move away. I'd love Everton to build a side around these
:18:07. > :18:17.youngsters and click onto the next level, because he's a supreme talent
:18:18. > :18:20.coaches will be talking about Martin Keown and can you get some whippage
:18:21. > :18:23.onto your ball. Leicester City were sloppy, defensively. It was tough on
:18:24. > :18:27.them, they've been magnificent the last five games but they started
:18:28. > :18:31.sloppy. This is ten seconds in. Marty has taken on an unusual
:18:32. > :18:36.position, Benalouane there, I feel he has to go in and deal with this.
:18:37. > :18:41.Instead, he lets Mirallas run almost the full length of the pitch. Davies
:18:42. > :18:45.makes his run, Albrighton could ferry him away, the central
:18:46. > :18:49.defender. He dives in for no reason. He's another ball game, to be fair,
:18:50. > :18:52.and Davies does the rest. There's all sorts of Leicester defenders, no
:18:53. > :18:57.one is able to get there. They didn't want it in those early
:18:58. > :19:05.exchanges. It got worse for Benalouane, I remember you saying
:19:06. > :19:08.many years ago how you used to market the Arsenal back four, it was
:19:09. > :19:12.being touch tight and being close to your man. He had a torrid afternoon.
:19:13. > :19:16.It's like Mira, signal, manoeuvre in the car, you need to know where your
:19:17. > :19:20.opponent is. As good a ball as it is, what on earth is the defender
:19:21. > :19:24.doing? If the striker can get there, you can get there, and he does
:19:25. > :19:28.nothing here for his team, the defender, and it's an easy goal. He
:19:29. > :19:35.doesn't get any better. This is even worse. He has his back to the ball.
:19:36. > :19:39.But is he doing? This is basic. Give yourself the best possible chance.
:19:40. > :19:43.Jagielka, its great movement from here, he's a wily old fox. The
:19:44. > :19:48.defender is lost. This is a basic movement. One little run for the
:19:49. > :19:53.defender and a little running behind. He hasn't got a clue where
:19:54. > :19:56.he is and this leads to get another goal. Benalouane is going to have to
:19:57. > :20:03.improve, certainly in the Champions League. Morgan is a bigness for
:20:04. > :20:07.them. Craig Shakespeare has confirmed that Wes Morgan is out of
:20:08. > :20:11.the Champions League tie against Atletico Madrid. Let's be blunt, if
:20:12. > :20:14.they defend like that, they will be hammered. Totally coming you need a
:20:15. > :20:18.more disciplined performance, particularly in Madrid bid week.
:20:19. > :20:20.They have to be more solid. They were open today. Benalouane has to
:20:21. > :20:24.improve. Thank you. Next it's Sunderland
:20:25. > :20:26.against Manchester United - a meeting of past and present United
:20:27. > :20:35.managers, both in need of a win. Your job now is to stand by your new
:20:36. > :20:39.manager. For David Moyes, Manchester United
:20:40. > :20:42.and Sunderland, the last four As Moyes was spending 11 unhappy
:20:43. > :20:46.months at Old Trafford, Sunderland were embarking
:20:47. > :20:48.on a period of bewildering managerial changes and constant
:20:49. > :20:49.relegation battles. Post-Ferguson United have
:20:50. > :20:52.finished seventh, fourth, fifth, and now sit sixth
:20:53. > :20:56.in the Premier League. Sunderland's appointment of Moyes
:20:57. > :20:58.has failed to bring stability and they began the day 11
:20:59. > :21:02.points from safety. Meanwhile, United still
:21:03. > :21:04.seem to be searching At the Stadium of Light
:21:05. > :21:20.was Guy Mowbray. How quickly things move on,
:21:21. > :21:22.especially here, with David Moyes the fifth Sunderland manager to host
:21:23. > :21:25.Manchester United in the last five seasons. Barring a miracle there
:21:26. > :21:32.will be no Manchester United league visit next season. For Sunderland,
:21:33. > :21:35.just one change since the defeat at Leicester. Their sixth game in a row
:21:36. > :21:40.without scoring. Anichebe is in for his first start since December. He
:21:41. > :21:44.is taking over in the team from Fabio Borini. United are missing
:21:45. > :21:48.David de Gea from red goal, ruled out by what Jose Mourinho was saying
:21:49. > :21:55.was a little problem. Sergio Romero comes in, as does a fully lewd --
:21:56. > :22:00.fully motivated Luke Shaw, and its Ariane and Fellaini. Not so long
:22:01. > :22:03.ago, the fans' scapegoat, today, the team captain. Having been at Aintree
:22:04. > :22:11.yesterday, Bradley Lowery is back home at Hezbollah bid Sunderland
:22:12. > :22:21.AFC. -- back home at Hezbollah bid Sunderland AFC.
:22:22. > :22:27.Loads of room for Jesse Lingard to strike. Jordan Pickford had a clear
:22:28. > :22:33.view of it. It's a comfortable save for the Sunderland keeper, after a
:22:34. > :22:41.nervous start Sunderland are shaking themselves into life here. Anichebe
:22:42. > :22:48.will to get it down. -- able to get it down. Cattermole, urged to have a
:22:49. > :22:52.shot, so he does, and he got it straight down the middle. That's
:22:53. > :22:58.where Romero was standing. He's quickly got it away. What a good
:22:59. > :22:59.ball out from Mkhitaryan. What a poor ball that was intended for
:23:00. > :23:22.Lingard. N'Dong, to Larsson. Anichebe key no real difference to
:23:23. > :23:32.Sunderland's play. -- making a real difference to Sunderland's play.
:23:33. > :23:39.Shipping on through for Defoe, he's offside. He's missed the target
:23:40. > :23:43.anyway, but it wouldn't have stood. Listen to the applause and the
:23:44. > :23:49.Cheers and the general excitement around the Stadium Of Light. There
:23:50. > :23:53.was talk of protest throughout the game today against Sunderland's
:23:54. > :23:56.owner, Ellis Short, who is here today, and manager David Moyes.
:23:57. > :24:00.Those protests have been forgotten for now. They are getting behind the
:24:01. > :24:05.team, which is butting up a real fight. Jesse Lingard might change
:24:06. > :24:10.the mood, as he wanders through. He brings a fine save from Pickford and
:24:11. > :24:15.you can see by his expression he thinks he should have put United in
:24:16. > :24:24.front. Allowed to get into a scoring position. Nearly all his own work,
:24:25. > :24:25.Lingard. A good save from Pickford. Too high for Cattermole, Anichebe
:24:26. > :24:32.well-placed to head away. There's Ander Herrera, this is Luke
:24:33. > :24:44.Shaw. Ibrahimovic shoots and beads
:24:45. > :24:52.Pickford. That's a wonderful goal from Zlatan Ibrahimovic. The
:24:53. > :24:58.goalkeeper has just pulled off whippage fine save to his left, but
:24:59. > :25:03.he couldn't get near to that. When Zlatan shoots, he means it, and he
:25:04. > :25:06.barely even needs a sight. He's got the control. He assessed everything
:25:07. > :25:14.very quickly. And always knows where the goal is. He doesn't even need to
:25:15. > :25:19.look up. To see whether posts are. He knows where it's going and it's
:25:20. > :25:25.Sunderland nil, Manchester United won. Is him a game for the 28th time
:25:26. > :25:32.this season, Ibrahimovic scores for United. Such is life at a club when
:25:33. > :25:36.you are at the bottom of the league, just when you are getting on top and
:25:37. > :25:40.the mood in the stadium is on your side, on his side, the beleaguered
:25:41. > :25:44.manager, it all turns around with one thrush of a very gifted boot.
:25:45. > :26:03.United knocking at around now. Shaw gets there. Fellaini's effort
:26:04. > :26:09.blocked and Pickford pounces on it. A little bit of after is between
:26:10. > :26:13.Fellaini and Oviedo. Before the match, it was said there was an
:26:14. > :26:18.improvement in Luke Shaw's attitude after those words, he showed it
:26:19. > :26:22.there. He nearly presented Fellaini with 2-0. Plenty of Swedes in
:26:23. > :26:23.attendance and with all due respect to Seb Larsson, I don't think
:26:24. > :26:33.they've come to watch him. Anichebe, that's a brilliant save by
:26:34. > :26:44.Sergio Romero. Look at that list of the legs from
:26:45. > :26:51.Bailly, court Anichebe Paddy Vijay gone down without attempting the
:26:52. > :26:55.finish, Craig Pawson might have been minded point to the spot -- had
:26:56. > :27:01.Anichebe gone down without attempting the finish.
:27:02. > :27:07.Did it affect the shot? We'll never know. Free kick for United.
:27:08. > :27:15.Sunderland not particularly happy with it. It's a red card! Good as
:27:16. > :27:22.me, that's come from nowhere! Craig Pawson has sent off Seb Larsson.
:27:23. > :27:25.Larsson can't believe what has happened. Well, he goes in for that
:27:26. > :27:32.with Pogba and Ander Herrera goes into tackle and Larsson, well, he
:27:33. > :27:36.does catch him, yes, it's a free kick, is it enough for a red card,
:27:37. > :27:40.or should have been yellow? Most would say that's on the harsh side
:27:41. > :27:44.for a straight dismissal. Craig Pawson has adjudged him to be out of
:27:45. > :27:47.control and then endangering the safety of an opponent with that
:27:48. > :27:52.challenge. When you are down, you really are down, aren't you?
:27:53. > :27:59.Sunderland a goal down and now a man down. Seb Larsson sent off. It's
:28:00. > :28:09.Zlatan Ibrahimovic you get things started again. 11 versus ten. 20th
:28:10. > :28:17.versus six at the start of play. The team at the bottom not just with a
:28:18. > :28:22.mountain to climb, they've got a space exploration to complete,
:28:23. > :28:27.really. That's in terms of today, and staying up.
:28:28. > :28:34.Ander Herrera is still going to Kop it, from now until the either sees
:28:35. > :28:40.the end of the game or is substituted, just to save his ears.
:28:41. > :28:45.Shaw through to Mkhitaryan. Mkhitaryan away from Cattermole and
:28:46. > :28:52.he'd beads Pickford and its 2-0 United. And that will do it. Within
:28:53. > :28:57.50s seconds of the restart. It's Manchester United's game to run away
:28:58. > :29:03.with, you would think from here. How simple was that? Ball played through
:29:04. > :29:07.to Mkhitaryan, who held it away from Cattermole, and that's precise. As
:29:08. > :29:10.with the first shot from Ibrahimovic, Kone doesn't do enough
:29:11. > :29:17.to get close and stop it and Mkhitaryan finds a way through him,
:29:18. > :29:22.past Pickford. Sunderland nil, Manchester United two. Sunderland
:29:23. > :29:25.down to ten men. Best of luck, Black Cats, this could be a long 45
:29:26. > :29:29.minutes and Manchester United managed to extend their lead after
:29:30. > :29:32.half-time, before any Sunderland player had got a touch of the ball
:29:33. > :29:38.in the second half. And well before many in the crowd had taken their
:29:39. > :29:43.seats again. He's seen a few ups and downs, so has he, in many years of
:29:44. > :29:50.supporting Sunderland. A lot of downs. Lots and lots of downs.
:29:51. > :30:08.Pogba! Tried to absolutely leather it. Former Everton boss Roberto
:30:09. > :30:13.Martinez is here. In conversation with Sunderland legend Kevin Ball.
:30:14. > :30:19.England manager Gareth Southgate is also there. Trying to get my
:30:20. > :30:22.timeline right, I wonder if Kevin Ball kicked either of those two in
:30:23. > :30:43.his career! Chance for Defoe! Well, he hit it
:30:44. > :30:46.true but he hit it high. Seven games left for Sunderland today - you
:30:47. > :30:56.would think they're going to have to win at least five of them. That's
:30:57. > :31:00.brilliantly taken by Manquillo. If he could have found the top corner,
:31:01. > :31:10.it would have been one of the goals of Sunderland's sorry season. It was
:31:11. > :31:16.a wonderful bit of control. Jose Mourinho's mind will already be on
:31:17. > :31:26.Brussels and the challenge that Anderlecht will bring. Defoe's
:31:27. > :31:37.effort is smothered, and it's broken to Pogba. Ibrahimovic... Marcus
:31:38. > :31:43.Rashford! 3-0 United! A classic breakaway goal, with just the men to
:31:44. > :31:48.have on the field for such a breakaway. Rev speed merchants on
:31:49. > :32:02.either side and the man with all the experience in the middle to link it
:32:03. > :32:16.all together. Pogba's pass. And it was a fine finish from Rashford.
:32:17. > :32:23.I don't want to blame referees for my position, because we got
:32:24. > :32:28.ourselves in this position, not because of referees. But today, I
:32:29. > :32:32.think the result was helped a little bit by the referee. I think
:32:33. > :32:38.Manchester United were playing well but it was a decision which went
:32:39. > :32:43.against us. What was your view on the challenge? Initially, I thought
:32:44. > :32:47.he won the ball. The lads have said they felt it was a very harsh red
:32:48. > :32:53.card. I've not seen it again but at the time, I didn't think it was. We
:32:54. > :32:56.want to fight in the Premier League until it is not mathematically
:32:57. > :33:03.possible. But the Premier League, we cannot win it, and the Europa
:33:04. > :33:06.League, we can. Just before you went 1-0 down, were you really encouraged
:33:07. > :33:10.by what you were watching? I don't know if I was encouraged, but we
:33:11. > :33:15.were trying to hang in the game and do our best. I thought we stood off
:33:16. > :33:20.them too much in the early part of the game. Going down to ten men made
:33:21. > :33:25.that even harder. The main part of the game was the second goal and
:33:26. > :33:33.after that it was very hard for them to play with one man down. After
:33:34. > :33:39.last week, many will look at your relationship with look sure - you
:33:40. > :33:42.took him off today but what did you make of his performance? The
:33:43. > :33:47.pressure of the crowd, asking for everything, it was good to protect
:33:48. > :33:52.him. But it was good also for him to play one hour, with a good, solid
:33:53. > :33:59.performance. I just play my game and the older I get, the more
:34:00. > :34:09.intelligent I get. I feel like Benjamin Button, I was born old, I
:34:10. > :34:13.will die young! I think United the first 20 minutes, were a little slow
:34:14. > :34:16.to get going. But after they got that first goal, and perhaps with
:34:17. > :34:21.the sending-off, Sunderland could not really get going in the
:34:22. > :34:24.second-half. What did you make of today, Martin? I think until
:34:25. > :34:33.Ibrahimovic's quality that he showed, there was not much between
:34:34. > :34:38.them. I saw Cattermole, Rodwell, any cheaper -- Anichebe, it was looking
:34:39. > :34:44.better for Sunderland. And then some quality from United, and Zlatan was
:34:45. > :34:49.pretty much the difference. What will it be like for those Sunderland
:34:50. > :34:53.players right now. You know the fans, you know the area? I think
:34:54. > :34:57.they will find it hard when they go out to supermarkets, doing their
:34:58. > :35:01.day-to-day business, because it is like a bubble up there in the
:35:02. > :35:04.north-east. And it is quite intense when you're out and about. I think
:35:05. > :35:09.the players will be feeling the pressure. I just think they will
:35:10. > :35:16.feel as though they can't get away from it all, and I think that
:35:17. > :35:22.probably showed today. The one thing which is showing with them is, I
:35:23. > :35:26.think they're playing within themselves, and if Jermain Defoe
:35:27. > :35:32.does not sink in, then they do not score. People will say, Larsson was
:35:33. > :35:36.unlucky, others will say he had to go, Martin? I think the referee
:35:37. > :35:43.actually... We looked at this time and time again, and I think the
:35:44. > :35:52.referee is right in what he does. I don't think he had to come off his
:35:53. > :35:56.feet at all. Herrera has not done anything wrong. Lawson, if you see
:35:57. > :36:02.it from this angle here, look, he can stay on his feet, it doesn't
:36:03. > :36:09.need to go off his feet! And I think he's trying to catch the player
:36:10. > :36:13.there. . He gets the ball? He does but it is his follow-through, Jason.
:36:14. > :36:18.Craig Dawson has been under pressure a little bit this season with some
:36:19. > :36:23.of his decisions. But I thought initially it was harsh. But when I
:36:24. > :36:27.watched it back again, he doesn't need to go to ground, he doesn't
:36:28. > :36:32.need to go over the top of the ball. Having been in Dublin and seeing
:36:33. > :36:35.that reflect tackle on Seamus Coleman, that is a leg-break, and I
:36:36. > :36:40.feel as though the referee got that right. Herrera does well to get out
:36:41. > :36:44.of the way of it. Really, Seb Larsson should not be doing that
:36:45. > :36:48.because he has put his team in a perilous position. What about Zlatan
:36:49. > :36:53.Ibrahimovic, or Benjamin Button as we should call him? He has been
:36:54. > :36:58.magnificent for United this season? Without doubt. At his age as well,
:36:59. > :37:03.it shows how well he has looked after himself. He just explodes into
:37:04. > :37:07.life. He has the confidence, technique, the audacity, really.
:37:08. > :37:13.Pickford has been outstanding for them but he gets beaten. He hits it
:37:14. > :37:16.with too much power and pace. And that was the difference between the
:37:17. > :37:26.two teams early on. This was another one, this was Rashford, and its
:37:27. > :37:32.Zlatan who decides Rashford should score this goal. He has not scored
:37:33. > :37:37.since September, and that's a really good finish. The question is, do
:37:38. > :37:42.they go and buy, or do they give this young man his head in the
:37:43. > :37:49.future? On Zlatan, speculation about whether he will stay or go - is it
:37:50. > :37:53.critical that a 35-year-old, has been brilliant for them this season,
:37:54. > :38:01.that he stays? I think it is, regardless of his age. I think that
:38:02. > :38:06.is irrelevant. I think he's proved this season what he can bring, I
:38:07. > :38:10.think he's a leader, Man United have lacked leaders recently, I think
:38:11. > :38:14.they've got to build around him next season, regardless of his age. I
:38:15. > :38:19.think he can help those youngsters develop next year. It's a young
:38:20. > :38:23.dressing room, let's not forget. But next year it might be different for
:38:24. > :38:29.him, he might be next year's Wayne Rooney, who doesn't really play.
:38:30. > :38:33.Let's see. One other big story this week has been Jose Mourinho's
:38:34. > :38:38.treatment of Luke Shaw, but today he appeared to him? He did. Luke Shaw
:38:39. > :38:42.was probably another one, started a little bit a gee, like he was
:38:43. > :38:47.desperate to impress his manager. He was on the near touchline here,
:38:48. > :38:53.right by Jose Mourinho. He jumped into this tackle early on in the
:38:54. > :38:59.game. Jose Mourinho alluded to this, that he was on a yellow card, and
:39:00. > :39:03.that's why he substituted him. Again, a slight nervousness. But one
:39:04. > :39:08.thing which has always impressed me about Luke Shaw is his running off
:39:09. > :39:15.the ball. Here, can he get out, can he get further up the pitch? He gets
:39:16. > :39:21.quite tight with Mkhitaryan, but can he run was actor? This was probably
:39:22. > :39:28.the moment when we started to see the real Luke Shaw. -- can he run
:39:29. > :39:32.beyond? I think he took that forward and grew into the match,
:39:33. > :39:36.particularly as the first half went on. Movement off the ball, creating
:39:37. > :39:46.space, dragging Seb Larsson with him, creating the opening for
:39:47. > :39:51.Ibrahimovic. And what a ball that is back to Fellaini. He's just got to
:39:52. > :39:59.play with confidence, this young man. How about making him believe in
:40:00. > :40:04.himself? The manager may feel, yes, he's vindicated. He's not happy
:40:05. > :40:09.going off, by the way. Because he has played well training he has, but
:40:10. > :40:14.I can understand that because he was on a booking. He has got to believe
:40:15. > :40:18.in the player, he has got to be more confident but he does have the
:40:19. > :40:27.ability, he's an outstanding player. David Moyes under pressure. If
:40:28. > :40:32.Sunderland go down, does David Moyes stay? At ten point gap looks too
:40:33. > :40:36.much fish I would like to see it but I don't think he has looked himself
:40:37. > :40:44.since he he has taken that job, since the end of August. I'm quite
:40:45. > :40:48.surprised he's still in the job, giving what Ellis Short has done in
:40:49. > :40:52.regard of sacking managers at this stage of the season.
:40:53. > :40:57.This week Pep Guardiola conceded that the title race was down to two.
:40:58. > :41:00.And Chelsea and Tottenham started a sunny day with seven
:41:01. > :41:13.Tottenham are trying to keep the title race interesting. But it must
:41:14. > :41:19.seem like they're winning games just to stand still at times. Dembele
:41:20. > :41:23.getting into a real tussle! The referee playing advantage, but he
:41:24. > :41:32.will have to come back to that. Dele Alli! What a goal! What a season,
:41:33. > :41:42.what a player! And how about that for a finish? Dele Alli, with his
:41:43. > :41:45.19th goal of the season. The pressure all coming from Tottenham
:41:46. > :41:57.here, as they look for a second goal. Eric Dier! Lashes it home! It
:41:58. > :42:14.felt quite nicely for him and he didn't need asking twice. Davis in
:42:15. > :42:28.support, Son finds the net, three up before the break! Here's Eriksen.
:42:29. > :42:34.And Son absolutely buries it! It's his second goal of the match and
:42:35. > :42:39.Tottenham's fourth. Full of confidence, and the afternoon is
:42:40. > :42:43.just about to get even better for Tottenham Hotspur supporters
:42:44. > :42:53.everywhere, with the return of their talismanic striker Harry Kane. It's
:42:54. > :42:59.Harry Kane for Tottenham... Off the bar! What a grandstand finish that
:43:00. > :43:04.so nearly was! The gap to Chelsea has closed to four points. Will you
:43:05. > :43:12.be watching the Bournemouth Matt Slater? Yes, of course, we will put
:43:13. > :43:22.ourselves in front of the TV and watch the game. The message from
:43:23. > :43:26.White Hart Lane has made it to Dorset loud and clear - Spurs are
:43:27. > :43:39.ready and waiting for any sign of Chelsea weakness. David Luiz to
:43:40. > :43:44.Moses... Diego Costa, great turn! And it ends up in the back of the
:43:45. > :43:51.net! Somehow, Diego Costa has scored here for Chelsea. It certainly
:43:52. > :43:59.didn't go in in the manner in which he meant it to. Eden Hazard is
:44:00. > :44:06.onside... Goes around Artur Boruc, and makes it two. Well, if the first
:44:07. > :44:11.one had a slice of good fortune about it, the second was brilliantly
:44:12. > :44:20.created and expertly finished. That is a high-quality goal. Fraser into
:44:21. > :44:27.Afobe, onto King. King goes for goal! And it's in! That took a
:44:28. > :44:31.deflection as well, but it's just what Bournemouth needed and maybe
:44:32. > :44:40.Lady luck has turned in their favour! Different game now.
:44:41. > :44:47.David Luiz has taken other place on the end of the wall. That's a good
:44:48. > :44:55.free kick and Chelsea 3-1 up. Marcos Alonso. Great goal. Absolute
:44:56. > :45:01.perfection. Midway through the second half of the game. Bournemouth
:45:02. > :45:08.one, Chelsea three. It's a big goal for Antonio Conte. Our reaction was
:45:09. > :45:17.very good and we played a good game. We started in the right way. It's
:45:18. > :45:22.not easy. You have to love the passion that Antonio Conte shows on
:45:23. > :45:28.the touchline and in many ways, Antonio Conte's side doing what
:45:29. > :45:31.champions do. You were there. They were excellent, yesterday, the first
:45:32. > :45:34.half was a masterclass in many respects. The goal for Bourne
:45:35. > :45:38.probably flattered them because it could have been more. The way they
:45:39. > :45:42.opened them up, the way they defended so solidly, it was an
:45:43. > :45:47.excellent all-round performance. They did what Chelsea do. It was so
:45:48. > :45:51.good, from back to front. As for Spurs, Dele Alli once again proving
:45:52. > :45:56.what a superstar he is. What a talent, there's no doubt. I really
:45:57. > :46:00.like the core of those in which players, Dier, Harry Kane as well,
:46:01. > :46:03.Walker, even Trippier. I'd be putting him in the England squad,
:46:04. > :46:06.perhaps the of Clyne, because when he comes in he's absolutely
:46:07. > :46:13.magnificent. A real strength to their squad. Wanyama not there, Dyer
:46:14. > :46:18.showed his Flex ability by going into midfield -- Dier. These are
:46:19. > :46:22.young men, they are winners are a group that is going together. When
:46:23. > :46:26.you go to White Hart Lane now and I've dared to go there recently,
:46:27. > :46:30.they know they've got a special team in the making. We watch with envy
:46:31. > :46:34.from north London, because it's a special team that they are
:46:35. > :46:37.developing. Let's talk about David Luiz, when he was here last and when
:46:38. > :46:44.he was in that Brazil side that got absolutely battered by Germany seven
:46:45. > :46:49.- one, but David Luiz 2.0 is a much different player. Many questioned
:46:50. > :46:54.the signing, bringing back to the Premier League, back to Chelsea, but
:46:55. > :46:57.we have spoken about midfielders being like a quarterback, or taking
:46:58. > :47:03.the quarterback role, but David Luiz from the centre of a three-man
:47:04. > :47:06.defence was so good with this yesterday, because he constantly hit
:47:07. > :47:11.diagonal ball from left to right, straight down the middle, and the
:47:12. > :47:17.amount of distance that those balls was covering with so much accuracy.
:47:18. > :47:22.He created or started the attack that created Chelsea's first goal. A
:47:23. > :47:24.brilliant ball diagonally hit to Victor Moses, and Victor Moses into
:47:25. > :47:29.Diego Costa. I thought he was brilliant. I thought he was so good
:47:30. > :47:34.yesterday. I think that signing, Conte bringing him in, was a
:47:35. > :47:39.masterclass. Conte has done this for Italy with Bonucci, there's more
:47:40. > :47:44.space. If you're not going to press them, that's the answer, to play the
:47:45. > :47:48.diagonal passes. A fortnight from Chelsea against Spurs in the FA Cup
:47:49. > :47:54.semifinal, we cannot wait for that. We have talked how well -- how well
:47:55. > :47:58.coached both sides are. What gives in that game? And in the Premier
:47:59. > :48:00.League you never get close, it's about your result and there is but
:48:01. > :48:07.when it's head-to-head, it's a chance to show who's best. Last
:48:08. > :48:09.season, Spurs' chance of winning the Premier League, when Leicester won
:48:10. > :48:14.it, there's an undercurrent there and I think it will be a magnificent
:48:15. > :48:17.game. Those two teams together, well drilled, excellent coaches, it's
:48:18. > :48:20.difficult to call. Probably Chelsea will just about do it because it's
:48:21. > :48:24.been a canter for them and with injuries at the moment for Tottenham
:48:25. > :48:29.they are trying to deal with. It's clear your diary, it's live on BBC
:48:30. > :48:36.One. It's one of those moments, stop what you are doing. It's a classic
:48:37. > :48:39.game. Tottenham might win, all or nothing for them. I can't see them
:48:40. > :48:42.getting above Chelsea in the Premier League and they can put their effort
:48:43. > :48:47.into this and go to try to win the trophy. Chelsea have 12 players,
:48:48. > :48:51.Kante is that good. He offers himself all around the pitch,
:48:52. > :48:54.putting out little fires. He is tremendous, Hazard was the standout
:48:55. > :48:57.player but Kante should be the Player of the Year. That FA Cup
:48:58. > :49:02.semifinal is to come. More football on the

:49:22. > :49:41.action, beginning with Johnson. Shaqiri. He's past Klavan.
:49:42. > :49:48.There are three in the centre. In the next Mac Jon Walters gets
:49:49. > :49:54.another goal against Liverpool. That's the touch that made the goal.
:49:55. > :49:59.Shaqiri away from Klavan. It's a lovely one to Walters, and Walters
:50:00. > :50:01.buries it. Two Liverpool half-time changes, Phillippe Coutinho and
:50:02. > :50:09.Roberto Firmino are coming on for Liverpool. In from Shaqiri. It's
:50:10. > :50:22.headed away, but headed back into trouble. A super by Mignolet. He's
:50:23. > :50:27.just kept Liverpool in it. Emre Can. Lifting in towards Sturridge. A
:50:28. > :50:33.chance now, a chance buried by Philip Casino. The Liverpool
:50:34. > :50:35.equaliser that's been coming -- by Phillippe Coutinho. Ever since he
:50:36. > :50:48.came on at half-time. One over the top two Firmino,
:50:49. > :50:57.Firmino onside. What a finish! What ate, what ate, what a finish! One
:50:58. > :51:02.long ball over the top and Liverpool have the lead. Stoke City one,
:51:03. > :51:07.Liverpool two, two in two minutes from the Brazilian super subs.
:51:08. > :51:12.That's run through to Arnautovic. Scan Stoke hit back immediately? No
:51:13. > :51:22.to Rich Chase one in, great save, Mignolet. That was Benny Howell it
:51:23. > :51:24.-- that was Berahino. What a save. That was genius. I'm really happy
:51:25. > :51:43.for him. He saved our life today. Study possession from West Ham.
:51:44. > :51:50.Where are they going with it though? Here's Kouyate with the drive. 1-0,
:51:51. > :51:55.a splendid opening goal. He's started moving into higher positions
:51:56. > :52:01.a couple of minutes ago. And it has paid off for West Ham United. 1-0
:52:02. > :52:09.West Ham. Slaven Bilic wants it all over. We've had stoppage time.
:52:10. > :52:18.Slaven Bilic, looked at the relief! What a release of tension.
:52:19. > :52:30.Fraser Forster sends it long. It's broken kindly for Shane Long, he's
:52:31. > :52:37.into the area now. Tadic, Clasie. A brilliant goal. Clasie's first-ever
:52:38. > :52:41.strike in the Premier League and it fairly flew past Ben Foster. West
:52:42. > :52:49.Bromwich Albion nil, Southampton one. Brunt with the free kick. Comes
:52:50. > :52:56.here for Morrison perhaps to have hit. Robson-Kanu is there as well,
:52:57. > :53:03.Livermore. No flag. It's Dawson. What a save and what is from Alan
:53:04. > :53:09.Meon. That such a Mendis stop from Fraser Forster. That -- that is a
:53:10. > :53:15.tremendous to stop from Fraser Forster.
:53:16. > :53:21.Long towards Bamford, brought down by Keane. The home support
:53:22. > :53:28.clamouring for red and it's just a yellow. My heart was in my mouth. I
:53:29. > :53:34.literally just slipped and took him down, but it's one of those. I was
:53:35. > :53:43.grateful. Stewart Downing takes it on. It was flicked behind. Matthew
:53:44. > :53:45.Lowton helped it on its way. It's that kind of moment that can decide
:53:46. > :53:57.a season. Silva to Navas. A crossing
:53:58. > :54:03.opportunity for the Spaniard, in towards a Granero. It's an own goal,
:54:04. > :54:09.Elmohamady. The Egyptian is unfortunate. Manchester City one,
:54:10. > :54:17.Hull City nil. Toure, a little bit of space for Silva. Sterling had
:54:18. > :54:22.Navas to his right. Terrific from Stirling. I'd wear a row, surely,
:54:23. > :54:28.and he squeezed it in. -- Aguero, surely. It's taken less than three
:54:29. > :54:37.minutes at the start of the second half and Sergio Aguero makes it ten
:54:38. > :54:44.in ten for him. Sterling is round Dawson, he's got players over, if he
:54:45. > :54:49.sees them. Here's Delph. Delph! Just his second Premier League start of
:54:50. > :55:00.the season. Marked with a goal. He courted sweetly. Space for Maloney,
:55:01. > :55:03.pulled back to Ranocchia. Manchester City won't have a clean sheet. The
:55:04. > :55:08.Italian has his second Premier League goal and Claudio Bravo
:55:09. > :55:16.Wanderson. Return to the starting line-up is beaten. The quote,
:55:17. > :55:22.Claudio is the best goalkeeper in the world along with Ter Stegen and
:55:23. > :55:26.helps us in the middle. You were there yesterday. Seven goals
:55:27. > :55:31.conceded from seven shots on target when Claudio Bravo within goal. Call
:55:32. > :55:36.me old-fashioned but the goalkeeper has to be a will to make saves and I
:55:37. > :55:40.admire gladiolus for trying to defend his player, but he almost
:55:41. > :55:48.loses a bit of credibility when you see some of these goals he's letting
:55:49. > :55:51.in. -- I admire Pep Guardiola. Great goalkeepers, you look over your
:55:52. > :55:54.shoulder as a defender and if that ball hits the back of the net as
:55:55. > :55:58.often as it does come you start to lose confidence in your keeper. This
:55:59. > :56:03.is quite poor, a lot of these are poorer and could have been dealt
:56:04. > :56:07.with. The amount shots that go through him, he is good with his
:56:08. > :56:11.feet. I've seen him be poor with his feet. But by and large, yes, good
:56:12. > :56:16.with his feet. A lot of the strikes go through him, a lot of the shots
:56:17. > :56:19.middle of the goal. To be fair to him, perhaps these goals are
:56:20. > :56:24.difficult because they are right in front of him and I don't think he
:56:25. > :56:27.can save these, but the amount of goals that are going through him.
:56:28. > :56:33.The goal seems massive, doesn't it? I think it should be saying this. Is
:56:34. > :56:38.the only thing he had to do all game. That's an area, Man City have
:56:39. > :56:41.got to buy a new goalkeeper, as brutal as that is they have to do it
:56:42. > :56:45.if they want to win the Premier League.
:56:46. > :56:47.This is how the Premier League table looks this evening.
:56:48. > :56:49.Chelsea maintain their seven-point lead, as the top
:56:50. > :56:51.Manchester United move above Arsenal into fifth,
:56:52. > :56:54.with Arsene Wenger's side facing Crystal Palace on Monday night.
:56:55. > :56:56.Everton stay in seventh, but open up a 10-point gap
:56:57. > :57:00.Leicester City remain in a congested bottom half,
:57:01. > :57:01.with four teams loitering on 36 points.
:57:02. > :57:04.Sunderland are anchored to the foot of the table
:57:05. > :57:11.and look in real trouble, with just seven games remaining.
:57:12. > :57:24.After Charlie Adams' Corner in midweek, let's celebrate Matthew
:57:25. > :57:30.Lowton's throw-in. Look at that! Terrible things. Divock Origi scored
:57:31. > :57:37.a cracker in midweek but this weekend, he hit the adverts. Heading
:57:38. > :57:42.for brocade, the 25. Azpilicueta has been magnificent, but this is
:57:43. > :57:47.woeful. A really bad injury. He's down. Chelsea on the attack.
:57:48. > :57:52.Bournemouth, here they come, Azpilicueta, really bad injury, here
:57:53. > :57:56.I come, what a recovery. That do Wijnaldum, we love a bit of cool and
:57:57. > :57:59.the gang on Match Of The Day. Here it comes.
:58:00. > :58:06.# Get down on its # Get down on it #.
:58:07. > :58:08.Very good from Mr Wijnaldum. Kevin Kilbane in the year 2000 and
:58:09. > :58:12.Sunderland nightclub. One of the players of the weekend
:58:13. > :58:16.was again Dele Alli, who celebrates his 21st
:58:17. > :58:17.birthday on Tuesday. He's scored more and assisted more
:58:18. > :58:35.than some of game's biggest COMMENTATOR:
:58:36. > :58:36.Brilliant set up by Dele Alli. Dele Alli is onto it. Absolutely
:58:37. > :58:42.brilliant. Liverpool, pounding forward. Oh, a
:58:43. > :59:01.screaming goal by Steven Gerrard. Frank Lampard! The Magic boots of
:59:02. > :59:06.Cristiano Ronaldo. Absolutely fantastic.
:59:07. > :59:23.Morning, Brimlington! I feel well this morning.
