:01:36. > :01:41.Bournemouth last weekend having been leading 3-1 had Jurgen Klopp banging
:01:42. > :01:46.his head against a wall. West Ham's manager isn't a stranger to rock

:02:13. > :02:15.Wilson was at Anfield. West Ham, from the Arsenal battering which
:02:16. > :02:20.Kast doubt on their manager's future. Liverpool without Coutinho,
:02:21. > :02:26.Sturridge, and now Emre Can is injured. Joel Matip and Adam Lallana
:02:27. > :02:30.return. They are unbeaten here in 21 games but lost this fixture 3-0 last
:02:31. > :02:35.season, one of the final straw is that broke Brendan Rodgers' reign at

:02:46. > :02:51.Liverpool's record signing, is on the West Ham bench. West Ham won the
:02:52. > :02:56.toss and they will make Liverpool kick towards the Kop end in the
:02:57. > :02:59.first 45 minutes, which, as everybody knows, is not
:03:00. > :03:05.traditionally Liverpool's presence. Side flag is up. Don't think
:03:06. > :03:12.Liverpool realise it, but they do now. Wijnaldum offside. -- side flag
:03:13. > :03:17.is up. Games coming in quick succession, as they do for
:03:18. > :03:21.everybody. They don't come much bigger for West Ham, their next two
:03:22. > :03:25.at home to Burnley and Hull. Anything they get here today would
:03:26. > :03:31.be a great platform to go into those matches. Sadio Mane for Liverpool,
:03:32. > :03:41.driving towards Origi and Lallana is their! Liverpool in front after four
:03:42. > :03:50.minutes. Adam Lallana, back in the side and back in the goals. A little
:03:51. > :03:52.touch from Origi, and then three West Ham defenders were awfully
:03:53. > :03:59.passive, standing on the edge of the six yard box and watching. Ogbonna
:04:00. > :04:06.slipped. Winston Reid and Cresswell were spectators. Randolph was
:04:07. > :04:13.beaten. Lallana scores, Liverpool 1-0 West Ham. Cut out by Winston
:04:14. > :04:18.Reid. Dimitri Payet climbing. Dejan Lovren.
:04:19. > :04:25.Ayew with a sliding challenge, finding Winston Reid. A good ball,
:04:26. > :04:35.Antonia in behind Lovren. Gets the shot away. -- Antonio. What a lovely
:04:36. > :04:42.ball here. Ayew got it to Winston Reid. A great ball. Antonio on the
:04:43. > :04:48.side. Karius with the safe. Fingertips, not sure if it was on
:04:49. > :04:53.target. Steven Gerrard, scored a rather famous goal against West Ham.
:04:54. > :05:06.Some room for Mark Noble. Obiang. Free kick. A little bit unnecessary
:05:07. > :05:11.from Adam Lallana, this. Never looked likely to get the ball. Rule
:05:12. > :05:16.number one against West Ham, don't give Dimitri Payet free kicks in
:05:17. > :05:21.shooting range. That's what he has here. If Dimitri Payet gets it
:05:22. > :05:31.absolutely right, there's not a lot a goalkeeper can do, whoever he is.
:05:32. > :05:35.27 played, West Ham one down. Payet on the free kick, and in a!
:05:36. > :05:46.He's done it again, Dimitri Payet. West Ham are level at Anfield.
:05:47. > :05:54.Payet's free kick. Could Karius have done more to keep this out? He's got
:05:55. > :05:59.a hand to it, the keeper. It's a really good free kick, take nothing
:06:00. > :06:05.away from Payet. Payet is one of the best in the world from that kind of
:06:06. > :06:18.range, but it's certainly save a bowl. -- save - able. Grobbelaar and
:06:19. > :06:23.Ray Clemence, two of the great goalkeepers of this club. Liverpool
:06:24. > :06:24.played West Ham four times last season and lost three of those
:06:25. > :06:38.games, drawing the other. Still Mane. Firmino! Didn't quite
:06:39. > :06:43.catch it, Roberto Firmino. Good play by Lallana to Inc get back inside to
:06:44. > :06:49.Wijnaldum. Firmino just scoffed the shot. Given everything that's been
:06:50. > :06:53.said about West Ham, there will have been those who expect them to
:06:54. > :06:58.crumble here having conceded so early. Anything but. Came Arthur
:06:59. > :07:09.Henderson's head. It's awkward. Karius stays. Mikhail Antonio scores
:07:10. > :07:16.and West Ham are in front. Antonio taking full advantage of a catalogue
:07:17. > :07:20.of Liverpool errors. Came Arthur Henderson's head. Miss judged by
:07:21. > :07:28.Joel Matip. Karius stayed when he might have come. -- came off
:07:29. > :07:29.Henderson's head. Liverpool's soft centre exposed. Liverpool 1-2 West
:07:30. > :07:42.Ham. Well, well, well. Wijnaldum beats Lanzini. Scoop in
:07:43. > :07:50.and the header is off target from Firmino. It's a good chance.
:07:51. > :07:54.Liverpool haven't had too many sites of the West Ham goal since Lallana
:07:55. > :08:00.scored. West Ham have defended terrifically well.
:08:01. > :08:11.Firmino to Origi. Just too many white shirts. Lallana is on to that.
:08:12. > :08:20.Plaid Cymru back. -- Payet coming back. The left arm onto the chest of
:08:21. > :08:28.Lallana might have been unwise, but Mark Clattenburg deciding it wasn't
:08:29. > :08:36.enough. The header hits the bar. The referee has blown his whistle. I
:08:37. > :08:43.wonder if the foul wasn't given for the push by Firmino. Liverpool have
:08:44. > :08:47.made the substitution. Dejan Lovren replaced by Ragnar Klavan. I imagine
:08:48. > :08:51.that's a change that has been forced upon Jurgen Klopp.
:08:52. > :09:07.It hit Winston Reid. Mane appealing but Clattenburg had a good view of
:09:08. > :09:13.it. A good cross scooped in. Origi sends it into the net after
:09:14. > :09:18.Randolph's mistake. Liverpool are gifted an equaliser. Divock Origi
:09:19. > :09:23.helps himself to a fourth goal in four games. And Darren Randolph is
:09:24. > :09:26.absolutely furious with himself. Question marks over at both
:09:27. > :09:32.goalkeepers coming into this game. Neither has done anything to answer
:09:33. > :09:40.their critics today. Mane sent in the cross, Randolph simply tipped it
:09:41. > :09:46.on to Origi's foot. There was simply no missing this. Lifeline for
:09:47. > :09:48.Liverpool. 2-2. A long way to go. Both goalkeepers will have the
:09:49. > :09:57.jitters every time it comes near them.
:09:58. > :10:09.Lallana, Wijnaldum and Firmino all in the box. Mane, is there room for
:10:10. > :10:16.the shot? Wijnaldum has room. It wasn't far away, either. They tried
:10:17. > :10:20.to close down every angle and every route to goal. Sadio Mane turned and
:10:21. > :10:30.twisted and fed Wijnaldum, who wasn't far away. Be strong, that is
:10:31. > :10:40.the message from Slaven Bilic. Miller only clears as far as
:10:41. > :10:43.Henderson, by Nordtveit. The West Ham goalkeeper makes amends with
:10:44. > :10:48.that one. Tremendous strike from Henderson, it looked set for the top
:10:49. > :10:54.corner. It's a brilliant save from Darren Randolph. Wonderful effort
:10:55. > :10:57.from Henderson. Two understated managers who like to keep quiet on
:10:58. > :11:10.the touchline. If you went for a night out with Klopp and Bilic, you
:11:11. > :11:14.would need your C legs. -- your sea legs.
:11:15. > :11:32.Origi's first touch wasn't quite there. Tried to wrestle it out. They
:11:33. > :11:37.few appeals from Liverpool, more the fans than the players. Nothing
:11:38. > :11:44.doing. Just got pulled a little bit. But not enough, I think. Bilic is
:11:45. > :11:51.screaming for the whistle to go. And Mark Clattenburg blows it. Darren
:11:52. > :11:54.Randolph, the West Ham goalkeeper, distraught at his mistake, which
:11:55. > :11:58.gifted Liverpool their equaliser. He should also reflect on a quite
:11:59. > :12:00.brilliant save from Jordan Henderson, which might have
:12:01. > :12:05.prevented Liverpool from winning the game. In the end, a better point for
:12:06. > :12:08.West Ham, surely, than it is for Liverpool.
:12:09. > :12:15.A great reaction in every way. I'm happy with the way we played the
:12:16. > :12:22.second half, but of course, we didn't defend that great, but we had
:12:23. > :12:26.plenty of stubbornness but expected us to be better on the ball. Your
:12:27. > :12:32.team were a little below their best today, did you feel? Yeah, that's
:12:33. > :12:36.right. We had this in other games when we won pretty clear. We weren't
:12:37. > :12:40.as good as we could be. I think there were one or two situations,
:12:41. > :12:45.especially Adam Lallana, which could have been a penalty late in the
:12:46. > :12:51.first half. Divock Origi also. It was a real challenge in the box,
:12:52. > :12:56.quite brave of the West Ham player. But we should have scored more and
:12:57. > :13:00.couldn't. Every time I say Winston Reid, I think he's outstanding. We
:13:01. > :13:06.defended as a team, but you are right, every time we like this, we
:13:07. > :13:11.have the bodies in a box, and it's mostly Winston Reid that you see. At
:13:12. > :13:16.the moment I think there are three of him. Again, he was magnificent
:13:17. > :13:20.today. Goalkeeper is a strange position because you are always
:13:21. > :13:24.under an individual spotlight in perhaps a way other players aren't.
:13:25. > :13:29.We know Dimitri Payet can produce a free kick which is impossible to
:13:30. > :13:38.say. Maybe this wasn't impossible to save? For this, I will have to see
:13:39. > :13:42.it again. I only saw it in the game. I wish that he could have saved it
:13:43. > :13:48.everybody in a red shirt, but I will have to see it again. I feel for
:13:49. > :13:51.Darren Randolph for that mistake early on the second half and he made
:13:52. > :13:56.a sensational saves. Is the nature of the job. He made a mistake for
:13:57. > :14:01.the second one, but before and after that he showed real quality. He did
:14:02. > :14:04.a good job for us. STUDIO: A few things to pick out from the game and
:14:05. > :14:08.we will come to the goalkeepers in a little while. West Ham had a player
:14:09. > :14:13.who seemed to play in virtually every position of the course of 90
:14:14. > :14:17.minutes. Antonio. Bearing in mind he started the season as a right
:14:18. > :14:27.full-back. He played centre forward today and gave the two centre halves
:14:28. > :14:30.the runaround. His workrate and movement were brilliant. Lovren
:14:31. > :14:35.doesn't have a clue where he is. Poor defending, takes forever to get
:14:36. > :14:39.going. Joel Matip, watch Antonio's run. Very poor defending. Again, not
:14:40. > :14:46.sure about the goalkeeper. He doesn't come or state. But finish.
:14:47. > :14:51.The second half, Bilic brings on Andy Carroll. He puts him at right
:14:52. > :14:54.wingback. He was brilliant in that position as well. Big, strong,
:14:55. > :15:02.defending and doing his bit for the team. The effort here, he starts
:15:03. > :15:05.inside his own box. And he's the one trying to get beyond the Liverpool
:15:06. > :15:11.defence to try to upset them once again. He's playing in the full-back
:15:12. > :15:15.position nearly. He has come from his own box to go to the Liverpool
:15:16. > :15:19.box. Switched him to a different position in the final ten minutes.
:15:20. > :15:24.Playing just behind Andy Carroll, so his job is to bring people into the
:15:25. > :15:30.game. He did his bit in the box again. The workrate and effort here.
:15:31. > :15:35.Look how much ground he makes up. Dragging his team forward. Keeping
:15:36. > :15:42.hold of the ball, and there is no one near him. He was superb today
:15:43. > :15:45.and let that team. I saw West Ham at Man United two weeks ago and I watch
:15:46. > :15:49.them again today, and they are playing for the manager. That means
:15:50. > :15:53.a lot to them. I think they've got to stick with him. They have to keep
:15:54. > :15:54.on improving and putting in more performances and effort like today
:15:55. > :16:06.and they will be all right. You played a variety of positions,
:16:07. > :16:11.but to do several once in a match does that require a great deal of
:16:12. > :16:16.concentration? It is difficult. You saw him in the last five minutes and
:16:17. > :16:20.he was dead on his feet. The strength of him up front was his
:16:21. > :16:25.effort and his energy and the way he kept running in behind and carrying
:16:26. > :16:29.the fight for West Ham. To change positions in a game takes a lot of
:16:30. > :16:34.intelligence and he did it regularly and today he must have played three
:16:35. > :16:37.positions. Jurgen Klopp says the nature of the position means one
:16:38. > :16:43.mistake and they get analysed by you. Where you go. The story is the
:16:44. > :16:47.Liverpool keeper because he will come in for the most criticism and
:16:48. > :16:53.rightly so. He has made two errors in the last couple of weeks and it
:16:54. > :16:57.has cost his team three points. Darren Randolph today made an error
:16:58. > :17:03.which cost his team a goal. This was the first one. It is a free kick.
:17:04. > :17:08.Everyone knows he is going to put the ball in that area.
:17:09. > :17:15.The distance he had to cover is not that great. He has got his palm on
:17:16. > :17:22.the ball and his wrist is not quick enough. Should the war have done
:17:23. > :17:28.better? It is a disaster of a wall. But I think his foot position was
:17:29. > :17:34.poor. This is Darren Randolph. I do not think he moves his feet quick
:17:35. > :17:38.enough. He is planted to the floor. It was a simple attack for Origi.
:17:39. > :17:43.Darren Randolph is devastated because his team is fighting for its
:17:44. > :17:48.life and he is allowed who is playing really well at the moment.
:17:49. > :17:53.For me this is the save of the season. It could be the save of the
:17:54. > :17:58.season. I do not think Jordan Henderson could have struck it any
:17:59. > :18:00.better. That agility and to get his hand up there, it is a sensational
:18:01. > :18:14.save. Carriers is new to the league this
:18:15. > :18:21.year, but the guys in front of him are not giving him any protection at
:18:22. > :18:28.all. They were so poor. We all know what Liverpool's issue is, they have
:18:29. > :18:33.conceded 20 goals. Unless that improves, rapidly, then Liverpool
:18:34. > :18:37.will not win the league. It was the same question I asked the guys last
:18:38. > :18:41.week after the Bournemouth game, does he deserve a little bit of
:18:42. > :18:47.slack at the moment given he is new to the league. My criticism of him
:18:48. > :18:51.is not the mistakes he is making in the game, it is what he did in
:18:52. > :18:55.midweek. When you are a young player and making a mistake and breaking
:18:56. > :19:00.into the team, you do your training and work as hard as you can and you
:19:01. > :19:03.play on Saturday and say nothing to know once and after a couple of
:19:04. > :19:08.seasons under your belt you can shout your mouth off and have a go
:19:09. > :19:15.at pundits. Keep your mouth shut and do your job and play football. He is
:19:16. > :19:24.sticking up for his brother. But the other thing is he is allowed have
:19:25. > :19:32.his say. That article was booked in two weeks ago. The young keeper, new
:19:33. > :19:36.to this country, playing for a massive club in Liverpool, you have
:19:37. > :19:41.had a bit of a poor game. When I have had a couple of good games and
:19:42. > :19:47.I have got a bit more confidence, I will come out and start talking. I
:19:48. > :19:52.think to still do the article after you have made the mistake shows you
:19:53. > :19:55.are not hiding. I cannot believe I am sticking up for goalkeepers
:19:56. > :20:01.because I feel a little bit for him because he is not getting near
:20:02. > :20:04.enough protection in front of him. Either Neville family on some team
:20:05. > :20:09.rotation for Loris Karius? Two of this season's late goal
:20:10. > :20:12.specialists met at Old Trafford. Unfortunately for Jose Mourinho his
:20:13. > :20:26.Manchester United side has been Manchester United have now dropped
:20:27. > :20:32.seven points in the last ten minutes of games this season.
:20:33. > :20:40.Old Trafford is silence. Two minutes to go. Jose Mourinho can believe it.
:20:41. > :20:46.And no team has one more point in the last ten minutes this season
:20:47. > :20:53.than today's opponents Tottenham. An equaliser with two minutes left on
:20:54. > :20:59.the clock. Not missing a second of this one will be your commentator
:21:00. > :21:04.Guy Mowbray. Once upon a time late goals were
:21:05. > :21:10.united's Forte, not their failing. Titles and European Cup were won by
:21:11. > :21:18.them. At one point they came here 26 matches in a row without winning.
:21:19. > :21:31.They have since been successful on other visits. Times are changing.
:21:32. > :21:45.Spurs have a key defender back from injury as well and Toby Alderweireld
:21:46. > :21:56.starts. He is the only change, for Eric Dyer, in the team that's want
:21:57. > :22:07.Swansea last week. Following anti-meat Joshua last night, here is
:22:08. > :22:15.another heavyweight challenge. -- Anthony Joshua.
:22:16. > :22:24.It saved by Hugo Lloris. Forced into action inside the first 90 seconds
:22:25. > :22:25.of the game. Perfectly placed for Paul Pogba. He might have hit it a
:22:26. > :22:51.little harder. Song hurled one towards the top
:22:52. > :22:58.corner. It was valid enough. The South Korean might have looked
:22:59. > :23:02.behind him. Vladimir Klitschko, fresh from watching Anthony Joshua
:23:03. > :23:08.last night. Watching Manchester United against Spurs today. I know
:23:09. > :23:19.nobody is sitting that close to him! Might be wise!
:23:20. > :23:33.Harry Kane has got a free kick. Good scrabbling work done by the England
:23:34. > :23:44.centre forward. It is beaten away by David De Gea.
:23:45. > :23:54.Really good work from Mousa Dembele. He is not finished yet. Applause
:23:55. > :24:17.from the home fans for the way United have worked it away.
:24:18. > :24:30.And he did not need anybody else. He rifled it into the room. Two goals
:24:31. > :24:36.in two games for the Armenian. Brilliantly played in by her rarer.
:24:37. > :24:41.That is how to hit them. It is a real rocket of a shot that gives
:24:42. > :24:49.Manchester United believe. Not that Hugo Lloris or any other goalkeeper
:24:50. > :25:04.could have done anything about that. It looked as though it was going
:25:05. > :25:19.inside that post. Spurs look rattled.
:25:20. > :25:28.Song's effort needed to be saved. Patted over the top very coolly by
:25:29. > :25:29.David De Gea. It came in really quickly. It was a really good
:25:30. > :25:59.effort. Tottenham are much more lively in
:26:00. > :26:04.attack now. He had got past Mkhitaryan quite easily, but he was
:26:05. > :26:09.blatantly fouled. It is a very useful free kick for Spurs. They
:26:10. > :26:14.look a bit more busy when they go forward now. That was too straight.
:26:15. > :26:31.This one will be curling in. Manchester United are appealing for
:26:32. > :26:35.offside. How did Victor Wanyama find himself so free? That was Spurs'
:26:36. > :26:51.best chance of the game. Paul Pogba manages to keep
:26:52. > :27:00.possession and all sorts of pressure and it is a free kick to United.
:27:01. > :27:06.Mousa Dembele used both hands to target back at the waist of Paul
:27:07. > :27:14.Pogba. Who hits this? Paul Pogba or Ibrahim of it? There was some
:27:15. > :27:31.pedigree there. Hugo Lloris was stranded, completely helpless.
:27:32. > :27:40.Nothing Hugo Lloris could do. Her rarer went down, but there was not
:27:41. > :28:05.enough to suggest a foul. Ander Herrera is down again in the
:28:06. > :28:10.box. Spurs get the ball away. That is a foul. That will be a yellow
:28:11. > :28:22.card. That was pure frustration. Here is Ander Herrera, teeing up
:28:23. > :28:27.Paul Pogba. They think Ander Herrera was fouled in the box. It was a
:28:28. > :28:32.clumsy attempt at winning the ball all right. You can see why they were
:28:33. > :28:35.shouting. You can also see why that was a yellow card. Sitting, but not
:28:36. > :28:56.comfortable yet. He has scored against United for
:28:57. > :29:04.Spurs before. Good save by David De Gea. That might have been curling
:29:05. > :29:10.wide, but there was no way he could take that chance. The booing is
:29:11. > :29:17.because Marouane Fellaini is warming up. He properly came on and gave
:29:18. > :29:21.away a penalty a couple of minutes later at Everton last weekend. He is
:29:22. > :29:27.much maligned, but I did not realise he was that much maligned here.
:29:28. > :29:38.He could only stop him by fouling him. Brilliant work from Mkhitaryan.
:29:39. > :29:44.A yellow card for Danny Rose. That was a great burst of pace and super
:29:45. > :29:50.control by the man that the Manchester United fans are starting
:29:51. > :29:51.to call Mickey T. You can see all the weight goes down on his left
:29:52. > :30:04.ankle. That does not look good. Eric Bailly makes its Premier League
:30:05. > :30:08.return. More words from Mourinho, trying to gee up his players. He
:30:09. > :30:15.will be livid if they throw away another two points late in a game.
:30:16. > :30:20.United clinging on. Sissoko beaten to it by Ibrahimovic. Danny Rose is
:30:21. > :30:25.onto it. He wanders through and goes down. Nothing doing, though. Didn't
:30:26. > :30:30.even ask for it. And then Harry Kane is guilty of a fowl. That would have
:30:31. > :30:35.been unending if Danny Rose had won a penalty for Spurs at the end. The
:30:36. > :30:39.villain of the piece as far as United fans are concerned. He runs
:30:40. > :30:43.into Phil Jones, who just stood his ground and won the ball fairly. Jose
:30:44. > :30:51.Mourinho just wants to hear the full-time whistle now.
:30:52. > :30:59.Fellaini tried to hold back Dele Alli. Goes back into win it again.
:31:00. > :31:04.And the full-time whistle goes. Manchester United on it. They keep
:31:05. > :31:08.themselves just about in touch with the top four.
:31:09. > :31:15.We played very well against a very good team, a team that creates a lot
:31:16. > :31:18.of difficulties. They create that for everyone. But the team was
:31:19. > :31:22.really good and I think we deserved more. We deserved to score a second
:31:23. > :31:27.goal, we deserved to be more relaxed, we deserved to be enjoying
:31:28. > :31:34.the match. The last five or ten minutes was not enjoyable. Always
:31:35. > :31:40.difficult to play here at Old Trafford. But I'm very calm, the
:31:41. > :31:46.performance was good. It's only that the chances we created, we didn't
:31:47. > :31:51.score. They scored when they had the opportunity. In this occasion, many
:31:52. > :31:56.would give up because the gap, it's not too big now, but it has been a
:31:57. > :31:59.little gap there for us to the top, but I'm confident we will close the
:32:00. > :32:03.gap. Did you have a bit of concern about the lack of away victories.
:32:04. > :32:11.It's been a long time since you have won away from White Hart Lane in the
:32:12. > :32:19.league. I think, no. We are in a position where, it's true we want to
:32:20. > :32:23.improve, but I think we need to be positive and try to keep going, and
:32:24. > :32:30.be ready for the next game. Henrikh Mkhitaryan has come into your team
:32:31. > :32:34.and John in the last couple of weeks. Are you fearful you have lost
:32:35. > :32:41.him for a couple of weeks? Doesn't look potentially dangerous or
:32:42. > :32:45.difficult. He crossed that line where the can't play the way I want
:32:46. > :32:49.him to play. He crossed that line. He's bringing to the game everything
:32:50. > :32:54.I want an attacking player to bring. He crossed that line and hopefully
:32:55. > :33:02.he can go in a positive run and maybe have one week out, and better
:33:03. > :33:08.to be fresh for Boxing Day when we play at home. STUDIO: Forget what it
:33:09. > :33:11.does to the league table and three points, psychologically it was
:33:12. > :33:17.important for Manchester United to hold onto that. Very important win.
:33:18. > :33:21.Big performances, Mkhitaryan with another impressive performance. Took
:33:22. > :33:26.his goal incredibly well. Herrera and Carrick dominated the midfield.
:33:27. > :33:32.The two best players I thought were Marcos Rojo and Jones. Considering
:33:33. > :33:45.the opposition they were against, Kane, Dele Alli, Eriksen and Son.
:33:46. > :33:49.Rojo too strong for Harry Kane. This was a superb tackle, sending in way
:33:50. > :33:53.he wants to send him, down the outside. Superbly timed tackle.
:33:54. > :33:56.Again they try to go over the top and he reads well, clearing the
:33:57. > :34:02.danger. And his mates next to him was also brilliant, Phil Jones.
:34:03. > :34:07.Great header, clearing the danger. Reading the game in front of Dele
:34:08. > :34:13.Alli. Again, Rojo clearing the danger. And this was a superb tackle
:34:14. > :34:17.in the final minute. That has to be perfectly timed from Phil Jones, and
:34:18. > :34:22.it was. Those two were brilliant. The big thing for Phil Jones, and we
:34:23. > :34:27.have said it for a long time, he has the ability but he has to stay fit.
:34:28. > :34:30.And he has to have a run in one position because he has been tried
:34:31. > :34:35.in different places. I would have thought this is the longest he has
:34:36. > :34:39.been played in his best position, centre-back. At the start of the
:34:40. > :34:43.season he was probably fifth choice, Rojo may be forth behind the others.
:34:44. > :34:48.A remarkable turnaround that they are playing fantastically well. Alan
:34:49. > :34:55.Shearer praising them for doing their job... Yeah, it is. But on a
:34:56. > :35:01.weekend as we have seen... With all the goals going in and sloppy,
:35:02. > :35:06.diabolical defending, what these two did, they cleared the ball, defended
:35:07. > :35:10.one against one, headed away, and did what defenders should do. Spurs
:35:11. > :35:16.had no fluency. They didn't, I was disappointed with them, particularly
:35:17. > :35:21.in the final third. Harry Kane had a really disappointing game. Dele Alli
:35:22. > :35:26.didn't do anything. Eriksen and Son. They got into good positions where I
:35:27. > :35:34.thought they could do something. Ian Bailey shooting from 30 or 40 yards.
:35:35. > :35:39.-- Dembele shooting. Put the ball in the right area. Disappointing cross.
:35:40. > :35:45.Dele Alli, can he slide the ball in behind four Danny Rose. It's a
:35:46. > :35:49.sloppy pass. My one concern for Spurs, particularly in the big
:35:50. > :35:53.games, do they have that player, that special player who can beat a
:35:54. > :35:57.man one against one and can win a game on his own like Coutinho or
:35:58. > :36:01.Payet. Somebody with that individual talent. The best chance of the game
:36:02. > :36:05.from Wanyama and he should have scored. My concern for Spurs, good
:36:06. > :36:09.set of players, brilliant coach, but they lack that special player. Do
:36:10. > :36:16.you go along with that? I thought last year was a great opportunity
:36:17. > :36:19.for them, but my concern for Spurs is they haven't improved that much.
:36:20. > :36:23.They have spent a lot of money on players and looking at teams around
:36:24. > :36:27.them who have improved like Chelsea and Liverpool. Tottenham have young
:36:28. > :36:31.players but I don't think they have improved from last season. Ander
:36:32. > :36:35.Herrera, another impressive Manchester United performer. He used
:36:36. > :36:40.to be an unsung hero, now I think he's just a hero. United fans coming
:36:41. > :36:43.away from the game will think Ander Herrera was brilliant, but you can't
:36:44. > :36:49.remember what he did. He covered every blade of grass, ran the most
:36:50. > :36:52.on the pitch from a United player. One the most tackles, regained
:36:53. > :36:56.possession the most. I'm going to call him the fireman. Wherever there
:36:57. > :37:01.is a problem on the pitch he puts out the fire. He covers for Pogba
:37:02. > :37:06.when he becomes indisciplined. He has the energy to cover for Carrick
:37:07. > :37:12.as well. A fantastic team player. He must be a joy to work with, a joy to
:37:13. > :37:17.coach and a joy to play with. He keeps possession well, tackles
:37:18. > :37:23.really well. He's infectious, and this pass-through, brilliant slide
:37:24. > :37:27.through for Mkhitaryan who slots it away. It's a hell of a Finnish. I
:37:28. > :37:35.think he's one of the first names Jose Mourinho will put on his team
:37:36. > :37:43.sheet. If he is alongside Carrick, does that mean Carrick can play more
:37:44. > :37:47.games, rather than one in every two? Does it mean they could be a
:37:48. > :37:53.partnership for the season, if he has the legs for Carrick? I think
:37:54. > :37:59.the continent each other well. Pogba has the flair, Carrick with the
:38:00. > :38:03.class, and Herrera fills in the deficiencies of the others. Pogba is
:38:04. > :38:08.indisciplined, and Carrick lacks that bit of energy and mobility now.
:38:09. > :38:15.Parreira can cover them both. He's a fantastic player. -- Herrera. Now
:38:16. > :38:19.you are bilingual, could you call him the fireman in Spanish? No! He's
:38:20. > :38:22.not that good! Two of the Premier League's
:38:23. > :38:24.form teams came head Chelsea, who have won eight
:38:25. > :38:28.in a row, need a point to return to the top of the table whilst
:38:29. > :38:41.West Brom are unbeaten in four. COMMENTATOR: A chance for Chelsea to
:38:42. > :38:46.go top. West Brom arrived with three wins in four, but its 38 years since
:38:47. > :38:51.they last won here in the league. Chelsea making one change to the
:38:52. > :38:54.side that won 3-1 at Manchester City last weekend, Nemanja Matic
:38:55. > :38:59.returning after a calf problem with Fabregas dropping to the bench.
:39:00. > :39:02.Diego Costa has scored 43 goals in 68 league appearances for Chelsea
:39:03. > :39:06.and has been on target in four of the last five games. Tony Pulis
:39:07. > :39:10.flagged up a couple of injury doubts ahead of this one but both are
:39:11. > :39:18.Gareth McAuley and James Morrison have recovered from Knox and are fit
:39:19. > :39:23.to start in an unchanged West Brom starting XI. Chelsea beaten just
:39:24. > :39:29.twice all season. 2-1 here by Liverpool in September and 3-0 at
:39:30. > :39:38.the Emirates by Arsenal. Hazard ducks away from Yacob. Tries to get
:39:39. > :39:43.away from Morrison. Diego Costa... Away from Dawson. Brilliant play by
:39:44. > :39:46.Costa. The interception from Yacob puts it out of play on the far side
:39:47. > :39:51.of the field but that was a wonderful piece of skill from Diego
:39:52. > :39:55.Costa. Brilliant the way he got away from Dawson.
:39:56. > :40:00.The Chelsea defence have been very tight in recent weeks, only
:40:01. > :40:07.conceding two goals in the last eight matches in the Premier League.
:40:08. > :40:12.Hazard away from Dawson. McAuley goes across. Short into Costa.
:40:13. > :40:18.Lovely return and just a step away from picking out Pedro. There is a
:40:19. > :40:23.nice intensity and early pace from Chelsea to this match.
:40:24. > :40:28.West Brom with 20 points from their 14 matches so far, their best return
:40:29. > :40:36.for four seasons. Evans with the ball forward into
:40:37. > :40:44.Chris Brunt who rides clear of two Anschutz! He wasn't far wide. West
:40:45. > :40:45.Brom's best efforts so far. Brunt saw the opportunity and was quick to
:40:46. > :40:55.shoot. Costa with too much pace on the
:40:56. > :41:01.return. Hazard couldn't control it. Rondon chases. Salomon Rondon has
:41:02. > :41:08.done well for West Brom. Just wide of the goal. David Luiz has clearly
:41:09. > :41:14.got his hands full here with Salomon Rondon. Getting away from the
:41:15. > :41:16.Chelsea defender. Wide of the far post. Frank Lampard back in town to
:41:17. > :41:26.watch the match. Pedro getting in ahead of Evans.
:41:27. > :41:31.It's with Costa. Vital touch by Allan Nyom. Costa does well. N'Golo
:41:32. > :41:37.Kante and a deflection from Pedro! Almost inside the post. I don't
:41:38. > :41:38.think Pedro knew much about it. Still nearly ended up on the
:41:39. > :41:56.scoresheet. Alonso is well forward on the far
:41:57. > :42:00.side. Six West Brom players in a line outside their own penalty area.
:42:01. > :42:04.Very quickly, as soon as Chelsea threatened to get into the final
:42:05. > :42:11.third. Its Chelsea's first corner of the match. Chelsea going short.
:42:12. > :42:18.Pedro whips it in towards Diego Costa. Tussling with Claudio Yacob
:42:19. > :42:21.in the centre. Costa stretching, couldn't quite get there. He was on
:42:22. > :42:25.the way down from his jumper before the ball arrived. Frustrating first
:42:26. > :42:37.half for Chelsea. Pedro up towards Costa. Crunching
:42:38. > :42:41.challenge. The referee will give Chelsea a free kick. Dawson steps
:42:42. > :42:47.away, he's already had a yellow card. He will need to tread
:42:48. > :42:53.carefully. Miss timed challenge from Dawson giving Chelsea a free kick.
:42:54. > :42:59.David Luiz for Chelsea! Just wide of the post. It took a deflection. It
:43:00. > :43:06.might have come off Eden Hazard. Chelsea need to do something to
:43:07. > :43:12.change the direction of this match because West Brom will be happy with
:43:13. > :43:18.it so far. Willian back to help out. Hasn't helped out much! Phillips in,
:43:19. > :43:23.Rondon goes for it. Little deflection off Marcos Alonso. Hint
:43:24. > :43:29.of a threat from West Brom. For the first time in a while.
:43:30. > :43:48.Room for Azpilicueta. Matic tees it up and shoots. Always going wind. --
:43:49. > :43:53.wide. A long-range, speculative effort. Little moment of inspiration
:43:54. > :44:00.to make the breakthrough against a defence as organised as this one.
:44:01. > :44:07.Azpilicueta, scored against Albion home and away last season. Willian
:44:08. > :44:11.looking for an opening, with the shot. It's turning into that sort of
:44:12. > :44:21.Sunday lunchtime for Chelsea. The possession predominantly
:44:22. > :44:29.Chelsea's, but chances few and far between at either end of the pitch.
:44:30. > :44:32.Costa chasing up against a McAuley. Costa has done well, away from
:44:33. > :44:44.Gareth McAuley. What a sensational goal! Brilliant play from Diego
:44:45. > :44:50.Costa. They have been so tight, strong, well organised, but Diego
:44:51. > :44:55.Costa there, had the pace and determination. Finally, the skill,
:44:56. > :45:04.to break their resistance. He muscled his way past Gareth McAuley,
:45:05. > :45:07.and it was a superb goal. And a really rare moment of quality in
:45:08. > :45:41.this opening 75 minutes or so. Mike Dean has just had a look at his
:45:42. > :45:46.watch. We are almost done here at Stamford Bridge. This has to be the
:45:47. > :45:52.last chance for West Brom. There goes the FINAL WHISTLE BLOWS Chelsea
:45:53. > :45:57.win nine in a row in the league and they go clear at the top of the
:45:58. > :46:08.table, thanks to a moment of brilliance from Diego Costa. A tough
:46:09. > :46:15.game, but we knew this. We prepared for this situation. I think the
:46:16. > :46:26.players were very good to play with patients. But today a good win. West
:46:27. > :46:33.Bromwich Albion looked a difficult team to get past. Yes, it is a very
:46:34. > :46:38.difficult team. It is a very compact team and it is very difficult to
:46:39. > :46:48.fight between the lines. Very difficult to find the space and to
:46:49. > :46:53.play and to score a goal. Finally, we scored and three points is the
:46:54. > :46:57.most important thing for us today. When the majority of players get in
:46:58. > :47:02.that position they keep the ball low and with his left foot as well, he
:47:03. > :47:07.found the top corner. He was a constant threat but they dealt with
:47:08. > :47:15.him very well. We do not really want to criticise anybody, the lads play
:47:16. > :47:19.a lot differently than most play in the Premiership and our structure
:47:20. > :47:24.and organisation was very good. The only criticism was the possession.
:47:25. > :47:29.We have got better players than that. We created opportunities, but
:47:30. > :47:35.not as many as we would have liked and that is the only criticism. We
:47:36. > :47:39.have won nine games in a row and it is fantastic because this league is
:47:40. > :47:43.very tough, it is a league with great difficulty and to win nine
:47:44. > :47:51.games in a row means we are working very well. STUDIO: Nine in a row for
:47:52. > :47:54.Chelsea. I know you thought that in some ways this was more impressive
:47:55. > :48:01.than their win at Manchester City last week. Yes, it was. We have seen
:48:02. > :48:06.teams set up differently against them. For me this was one of their
:48:07. > :48:11.toughest games. They came up against a team that was so well organised
:48:12. > :48:15.and drilled. Typical Tony Pulis. They worked all week on balancing
:48:16. > :48:20.the team. They had Fletcher and they never gave Pedro or Diego Costa or
:48:21. > :48:25.Eden Hazard any kind of space whatsoever. But look how many
:48:26. > :48:31.numbers they have got behind the ball. It is impossible to get any
:48:32. > :48:35.kind of space in the box. But what Chelsea did, which is impressive, is
:48:36. > :48:39.they kept going and they kept battering down the door and they
:48:40. > :48:44.kept moving the back eight West Brom and they knew eventually they would
:48:45. > :48:48.get a chance. If you have got players of that skill, you will get
:48:49. > :48:52.a chance in the game. I do not think they played well at all today, but
:48:53. > :48:57.when that happens and you come up against a stubborn side, and that
:48:58. > :48:59.was the only mistake of the game from Gareth McAuley, but when it
:49:00. > :49:14.happens you look your big players to make a
:49:15. > :49:20.difference. You are looking for one moment of brilliance and that is
:49:21. > :49:22.brilliant. What a finish with his left foot. Gareth McAuley should
:49:23. > :49:25.have got rid of it, but there was still a lot of work to do for Diego
:49:26. > :49:29.Costa. They did not play well, move onto the next game. Just watch how
:49:30. > :49:34.Gary Cahill pumped his fists at the end in celebration. Maybe they
:49:35. > :49:40.thought this could be crucial at the end of the day. You cannot be
:49:41. > :49:46.spectacular in every game. You look to the players to make a difference
:49:47. > :49:49.and you say, we might get one chance today and it might be up to you guys
:49:50. > :49:55.to go and win it and that is what happened to Chelsea today. You are
:49:56. > :50:00.not going to play silky football every game. Hazzard is not going to
:50:01. > :50:04.be fantastic every single game. But they have got a centre forward and
:50:05. > :50:09.two winners who can win a game on their own and Diego Costa did that
:50:10. > :50:15.today. They seem to be progressing quite serenely towards the title at
:50:16. > :50:21.the moment. Any team that wins the title has to have a strong spine.
:50:22. > :50:26.Leicester had that last season. It is no coincidence that the two teams
:50:27. > :50:31.with the best spine are sitting at the top of the league, Chelsea and
:50:32. > :50:35.Arsenal. Manchester City have brought in players to try and play
:50:36. > :50:40.in a different way with a goalkeeper and it is not necessarily working.
:50:41. > :50:44.Liverpool are not settled at all. But the two settled teams and the
:50:45. > :50:52.ones with the biggest spines are Chelsea and Arsenal. When you say
:50:53. > :51:01.strong spine does that mean settled spine? Arsene Wenger quite often
:51:02. > :51:05.changes the midfield as well. It could be a mix. Does it have to be
:51:06. > :51:13.settled? Look at the form Chelsea are in. Cesc Fabregas played last
:51:14. > :51:19.week, but he put it back to his normal team today. It is the
:51:20. > :51:24.goalkeeper, the two Central hearth in Arsenal, it is Sanchez up front.
:51:25. > :51:29.There is always one of those midfielders in there. Yes, they are
:51:30. > :51:34.the settled teams and they have got the biggest and strongest spines at
:51:35. > :51:40.this moment in time. Sir Alex Ferguson was known for rotating, but
:51:41. > :51:49.he never rotated his spine. If they lose a player, does that change it?
:51:50. > :51:56.Liverpool lost Coutinho. Yes, it all depends on injuries. If Arsenal were
:51:57. > :52:01.to lose Mesut Ozil Sanchez, and Chelsea were to lose Diego Costa or
:52:02. > :52:02.Hazzard, so you are always rely on a bit of luck.
:52:03. > :52:06.After being knocked out of the Europa League on Thursday night,
:52:07. > :52:07.Southampton welcomed Middlesbrough to Saint Mary's.
:52:08. > :52:10.A win for Aitor Karanka's side would take them above
:52:11. > :52:34.Jay Rodriguez makes his second start in the season. Dusan Tadic will play
:52:35. > :52:41.with a face mask due to a broken nose. Alvaro Negredo is ruled out
:52:42. > :52:46.because of a slight injury. Just 13 goals each in 14 matches. Calum
:52:47. > :52:51.Chambers aiming for a clean sheet against the club where he started
:52:52. > :52:58.his career. Middlesbrough have lost just one of their last six in the
:52:59. > :53:12.league. Southampton have just lost one of their half a dozen.
:53:13. > :53:19.Roads with a shot. It was just put there by Fraser Forster. First
:53:20. > :53:30.chance of the match going Middlesbrough's way. Jordan Rhodes
:53:31. > :53:46.at close range should have stabbed it.
:53:47. > :53:51.Southampton's first effort of the night. Looking for his first Premier
:53:52. > :54:14.League goal of the season. Jay Rodriguez did not get too much
:54:15. > :54:28.on it, but he was able to guide the ball towards the Middlesbrough goal.
:54:29. > :54:37.It is Viktor Fischer. He could not score from the angle. It was blocked
:54:38. > :54:44.once more. Viktor Fischer looking for his first goal. Since joining
:54:45. > :54:46.them from Ajax. It was always going to be a tight angle. They were able
:54:47. > :55:18.to keep them out. The shot was blocked on the way.
:55:19. > :55:23.Boufal with the shot. It is blocked by Middlesbrough. Callum Chambers
:55:24. > :55:53.was in the way. What a shot that is! Sofiane Boufal
:55:54. > :55:58.gets his first goal for Southampton. He digs it out from under his feet.
:55:59. > :56:04.The ball was curling away from Victor Valdes. Early in this
:56:05. > :56:09.second-half Southampton make the breakthrough. Sofiane Boufal, the
:56:10. > :56:13.Moroccan international, with a historic goal for the Saints. It is
:56:14. > :56:24.their 500th home goal in the Premier League.
:56:25. > :56:35.That was a tourist across in and it is only just over. He has only just
:56:36. > :56:36.come on. Steve Davis with a run through the middle, not quite able
:56:37. > :57:01.to guide the header downwards. It is a corner, it comes off the
:57:02. > :57:10.goalkeeper. A second go at this late stage might just see it for the
:57:11. > :57:18.Saints. What a chance for Southampton. Rodriguez with the
:57:19. > :57:21.header, but the defender for Middlesbrough was in the right
:57:22. > :57:37.place. He just stooped down and cleared it away.
:57:38. > :57:48.Nathan Redmond goes across. How did that not go in? Unbelievable.
:57:49. > :57:52.Redmond comes away with it. You can see Jay Rodriguez racing into the
:57:53. > :58:05.penalty area and it is over by about a yard or so. This game shows strong
:58:06. > :58:14.character from my players, my team. It was a difficult game to prepare
:58:15. > :58:19.just three days after a big game. It shows a strong attitude and the
:58:20. > :58:24.quality of the squad. I am very happy to score my first goal in
:58:25. > :58:29.front of my fans in Southampton's Stadium. I want to say thank you to
:58:30. > :58:34.all of the physios and all the people in Southampton who worked
:58:35. > :58:38.with me when I was injured. This goal is for everybody. How good a
:58:39. > :58:45.goal was that from your Moroccan striker? It is a goal with a lot of
:58:46. > :58:54.quality of course. He played simply and he can make the difference
:58:55. > :59:00.because he is quite fantastic. He can become an important player for
:59:01. > :59:06.the squad. How much did you miss Alvaro Negredo and Gaston Ramirez
:59:07. > :59:10.today? Yes, we missed them, but I always said we will win as a team
:59:11. > :59:21.and we will lose as a team and we will play with the players. STUDIO:
:59:22. > :59:27.It was not a brilliant game of football, but it was settled by a
:59:28. > :59:30.brilliant goal. It was, and it was by a record signing, somebody they
:59:31. > :59:36.have had to be patient with. He came with a bit of injury. He is a winger
:59:37. > :59:42.who likes to dribble and take people on. He has got fantastic skill. At
:59:43. > :59:47.times he makes the wrong decision and he takes a little bit too long
:59:48. > :59:51.on the ball. He must have been told simplify your game a lot more
:59:52. > :59:57.because he was outstanding in the second half. He was a constant
:59:58. > :00:01.threat in the positions he took up. He is a box of tricks and he is
:00:02. > :00:06.somebody that offenders will not like and not enjoy playing against
:00:07. > :00:11.because you do not know what he is going to do. Look at the positions
:00:12. > :00:15.he is taking up. Really difficult for full-backs to go in there. That
:00:16. > :00:20.was an unbelievable shot with his left foot because he is a right
:00:21. > :00:21.footed player. It is a brilliant strike from a player we will be
:00:22. > :00:30.hearing a lot more about. He will also get more of an
:00:31. > :00:34.opportunity after the Charlie Austin injury. He will be out for three or
:00:35. > :00:39.four months with a shoulder injury. A bit like Karius, you have to be
:00:40. > :00:44.patient with him. 23 years old, arrived with a knee injury. It'll
:00:45. > :00:49.take time. Some similarities with Mkhitaryan as well. A forward
:00:50. > :00:57.player, he likes to play free, and he needs time to bed in as an young
:00:58. > :01:01.lad in English football. Do you worry about Middlesbrough? I do,
:01:02. > :01:06.they mean defensively, but they have only scored 13 goals in the league,
:01:07. > :01:09.which is the lowest. That's a concern. It must be so frustrating
:01:10. > :01:15.as a centre forward in that team because they do not create a lot.
:01:16. > :01:19.Ramirez, Negredo. That's what the forwards look for. If you give a
:01:20. > :01:23.centre forward a chance or two every game, that's what you ask for and
:01:24. > :01:29.it's up to them to take it. With baby better with two upfront? --
:01:30. > :01:36.would they be better? Or is that too simplistic? That's the way Karanka
:01:37. > :01:43.plays. He will not change for anybody. There are moans and groans
:01:44. > :01:47.among the crowd sometimes, but they will not necessarily be more bold.
:01:48. > :01:52.He has been successful with it. Would you change it? He has come up
:01:53. > :01:56.to the Premier League with a certain style. He's a more defensive coach,
:01:57. > :02:00.setting up his team is really defensively. He looks to
:02:01. > :02:05.counterattack. They missed Ramirez and Negredo today. I think they will
:02:06. > :02:10.be OK, they have that bit of extra quality. I expect you to defend
:02:11. > :02:12.centre forwards. Shay Given has tweeted this evening, he never
:02:13. > :02:21.thought he would see the day that he would stick up for the goalkeepers.
:02:22. > :02:23.He nearly fell off his sofa. A dark day for football!
:02:24. > :02:25.Here is the best of Saturday's action, starting at
:02:26. > :02:42.COMMENTATOR: Vardy, heading to the penalty area. In on goal and end of
:02:43. > :02:46.the scoring drought. Leicester City take the lead in the third minute.
:02:47. > :02:55.Boy, he's waited for that. Christian Fuchs with the long throw
:02:56. > :03:00.into the box. Slimani was in there with the setup. And its two! What a
:03:01. > :03:06.cracking start for Leicester City. Andy King with a special.
:03:07. > :03:16.Lovely ball away out towards Mahrez. Here's Vardy, and its three. How
:03:17. > :03:19.about that for counterattacking football? Leicester once again are
:03:20. > :03:23.in dreamland. The nightmares of recent weeks can be forgotten.
:03:24. > :03:33.Risky backpass. Vardy there on a terrible angle. Was that over? And
:03:34. > :03:34.Leicester City have a fourth against Manchester City. The goal-line
:03:35. > :03:46.technology says Vardy hat-trick. Kolarov with it. That's a lovely
:03:47. > :03:51.goal for Manchester City. At last, something to celebrate.
:03:52. > :03:59.Zabaleta making a good run into the box. In towards Nolito. And they
:04:00. > :04:06.have another! But it's Vardy's day, it's Leicester's Day at last.
:04:07. > :04:20.Robertson. Robertson in. Is that a penalty? Mike Jones says it is. Oh
:04:21. > :04:24.dear, dear, dear. Scott Dann has realised and pulled out of it. It's
:04:25. > :04:30.Robert Snodgrass who will try to take full advantage. Snodgrass
:04:31. > :04:37.scores, and he hammered it past Hennessey.
:04:38. > :04:43.Snodgrass kept his nerve after not being able to keep his
:04:44. > :04:54.Zaha. Puncheon with a dart to his right. It's a penalty for Palace.
:04:55. > :05:00.It's soft, but more of a penalty than Hull got in the same box.
:05:01. > :05:02.Benteke, and it's very coolly taken. A tale of two penalties at the KCom
:05:03. > :05:17.Stadium. Zaha goes on. What a strike! That is
:05:18. > :05:19.a thumper from Wilfried Zaha. You will do well to see a ball hit that
:05:20. > :05:33.hard anywhere this weekend. into Diomande. Brilliant finish. The
:05:34. > :05:37.long wait for a goal for Diomande is over.
:05:38. > :05:47.Livermore onto it. He wanders through. And he strolls through to
:05:48. > :05:49.score for Hull City. The Palace defence parted. Now it's up to Hull
:05:50. > :05:58.to try to keep the lead. Zaha, Palace need more magic from
:05:59. > :06:07.him now. And it's headed in by Fraizer Campbell. The former Hull
:06:08. > :06:13.Mickey T has snatched two points away from Hull City.
:06:14. > :06:23.Rangel, Routledge. The arm came up to the body. And a penalty has been
:06:24. > :06:28.awarded. Denayer lifted up his arm, no question it hit it. You can't
:06:29. > :06:35.underestimate the significance of taking the lead in a game between
:06:36. > :06:39.two sides in the bottom three. And it's a responsibility he's happy to
:06:40. > :06:41.take. In the opening five and a half minutes of the second half, Swansea
:06:42. > :06:52.take the lead. Sigurdsson with a variety on the
:06:53. > :06:54.corner. And it's paid off. Llorente makes it two to Swansea. Two goals
:06:55. > :07:09.in three minutes. Montero clips it in. Llorente! They
:07:10. > :07:12.are off the bottom of the table. STUDIO: You reverted to type in
:07:13. > :07:20.those highlights, saying you should have bought Marshall should have
:07:21. > :07:37.saved Zaha's shot. No chance! He didn't say that off-camera!
:07:38. > :07:42.Time for the rest of Saturday's action.
:07:43. > :07:57.COMMENTATOR: Joe Allen had some space. Oh, penalty! Joe Allen was
:07:58. > :08:01.checked. Definite contact with the arm into the face. Petr Cech tries
:08:02. > :08:03.to make himself as big as possible, but you don't stop those. Charlie
:08:04. > :08:15.Adam, beautifully done. Arsenal are stringing the passes
:08:16. > :08:25.together here. Bellerin. It's in, Walcott. That's number 100 in club
:08:26. > :08:32.football for Theo Walcott. 95 for Arsenal and five for Southampton.
:08:33. > :08:41.Arsenal level at 1-1. A chance here, and it's in. Ozil puts Arsenal in
:08:42. > :08:43.front for the first time. Good anticipation by the Arsenal player.
:08:44. > :08:48.No chance for the goalkeeper in that position.
:08:49. > :08:57.Here's Sanchez. Yes! It's there. It's Alex Iwobi. The substitute has
:08:58. > :09:03.done it within five minutes of coming on. It's 3-1 to Arsenal and
:09:04. > :09:11.the game now is probably settled in their favour.
:09:12. > :09:18.Swept forward by Barry. Lukaku is onside and he can finish. Romelu
:09:19. > :09:24.Lukaku with his first goal since the end of October. His eighth of the
:09:25. > :09:27.season. Everton have the lead at Vicarage Road.
:09:28. > :09:36.Good cross, Okaka, 1-1. Stefano Okaka gets his first Watford goal.
:09:37. > :09:45.Watford level. Up goes Deeney and it's in from
:09:46. > :09:50.Sebastian Prodl. The home side have come from behind to take the lead.
:09:51. > :10:01.Holebas prepares the corner kick. In-out the near post, and it's in.
:10:02. > :10:03.Watford race into 3-1 lead. Walter Mazzarri begins to believe Watford
:10:04. > :10:08.have rediscovered that winning habit.
:10:09. > :10:15.Lennon's cross. Lukaku! He found a bit of room in that penalty area for
:10:16. > :10:29.once. Good ball. Great control by
:10:30. > :10:39.Hendrick. What a finish! That is fantastic. That's magnificent. Wow!
:10:40. > :10:46.Steven Defour's corner. Free header, off the line and in the second time.
:10:47. > :10:52.Stephen Ward makes it 2-0 to Burnley. Two goals in three minutes.
:10:53. > :11:03.Both for Irish men. Simon Francis for Bournemouth. Benik
:11:04. > :11:07.Afobe, 2-1. Right at the end of the first half. Burnley are furious
:11:08. > :11:11.because one added minute was shown, and that goal was scored 15 seconds
:11:12. > :11:22.into the second added minute. Clever, George Boyd, got the shot
:11:23. > :11:27.away. It's 3-1. Through the legs of the defender and into the corner of
:11:28. > :11:29.the net. Beautiful flick. It will take a mighty comeback from
:11:30. > :11:34.Bournemouth to get anything from this.
:11:35. > :11:39.A bit of space for Charlie Daniels to fix it and scores. Bournemouth
:11:40. > :11:46.took the corner quickly and Charlie Daniels scores. It's 3-2.
:11:47. > :11:55.Chelsea are three points clear at the top of the table.
:11:56. > :11:57.Liverpool are six points behind Chelsea in third
:11:58. > :11:59.after dropping points for a second consecutive game.
:12:00. > :12:01.Sixth placed Manchester United have closed the gap
:12:02. > :12:05.Southampton are into the top half of the table after beating
:12:06. > :12:09.West Ham move out of the relegation zone although they are just two
:12:10. > :12:11.points clear of Sunderland who are bottom.
:12:12. > :12:18.Here's 2 Good 2 Bad... Amrabat was grateful for the position of the
:12:19. > :12:23.steward at Watford. And he showed it. If you haven't got the club
:12:24. > :12:31.shirt, then go in your dressing down. Better than going as a
:12:32. > :12:37.Christmas tree. The traditional French greeting at Old Trafford, a
:12:38. > :12:40.nice stroke of the ear. Twitter went mad for Mark Clattenburg standing as
:12:41. > :12:46.if to take this free kick, like a certain someone. And at the start of
:12:47. > :12:55.the second half, it took Guy Mowbray by surprise. Henrik -- Henrikh
:12:56. > :12:56.Mkhitaryan's goal... I will start that again, got a mouthful of jelly
:12:57. > :12:58.babies. After Jeff Hendrick's goal
:12:59. > :13:01.for Burnley yesterday we thought we would leave you with some
:13:02. > :13:14.of the Premier League's COMMENTARY MONTAGE: Great control
:13:15. > :13:21.from Hendrick. What a finish. Absolutely stunning. What a goal!
:13:22. > :13:26.What an absolute beauty. Tony Yeboah! It's in the! Rooney goes for
:13:27. > :13:35.the extraordinary. It's an unbelievable goal. What a goal by
:13:36. > :13:51.loaneeTugay. Gareth Bale, what a strike. My
:13:52. > :14:00.goodness me, what a strike. Kasami, that's exceptional. Wilshere, what
:14:01. > :14:02.about that?! Oh, what a screamer!
