15/01/2017 Match of the Day 2

That is wonderful. An absolute belter.

A beautiful goal by Maurice C. -- Morrissey. "Reward" - Teardrop

Explodes. "Love Will Tear Us Apart" - Joy

Division. An excuse to play a load of good

music before the football, but the clubs of Liverpool and Manchester

started all in the top seven of the league and Alan Shearer and Phil

Neville are here to reflect on what happened. Everton and Manchester

City was watched by Guy Mowbray. Welcome to the blue side of things.

The only touch of red is the Sunderland strip worn by Bradley

Lowery. He has touched the heart of the game and a lovely effort by

Everton to invite him here. Only one change to the side that beat

Leicester last weekend, Kevin morale is, and 19-year-old Ademola Lookman

is brought in from Charlton. The only change is in goal with Claudio

Bravo replacing Willie Cavaliere, and there is a return for John

Stones to Goodison Park, who is welcome -- welcomed back and it's

more likely to be hot than warm. Zabaleta did not realise Otamendi

was moving that way. The side down Luke ARCO. Now Ross Barkley -- he

side down Roope Kakko. It has come about because of the

Zabaleta and his misplaced pass. Mirallas. Stoutly headed away.

Everton claimed there was a brute raised dangerously. Seemed to have

got away with it. The brine. Raheem Sterling down the middle. Maybe a

touch of good luck. There is nothing for Raheem Sterling in his appeals.

The booing is ringing around Goodison Park. Not because of that,

and there was nothing wrong with De Bruyne. They felt there was a high

boot. Raheem Sterling felt it was a high boot from Leighton Baines. The

handball from Leighton Baines was a side issue. He thinks he has been

tripped by Robles. There is one certainty, Raheem Sterling will get

a free kick. David Silva. Very nicely collected. Aguero goes to the

floor outside the box. He fell inside and the Charb was just on the

other side of the line -- the shelf. There is a tap to the right shin as

well. This will be a David Silva or Kevin De Bruyne delivery. It is

David Silva. Ashley Williams races to clear. Pep Guardiola has

reiterated that he will chase to the end for the title. When he was a

player he was once 12 points behind Real Madrid at Barcelona but he was

still champion, he said. What a pass. Aguero was wanting that. That

is the pass of the match so far. A well timed run from Sterling. Morgan

Schneiderlin said he was hungry as ever and ready to eat football

again. Funes Mori. Never really looked in control there and Aguero

is after him. He played -- paid the price for giving the ball away.

Raheem Sterling lost it for a second. De Bruyne. David Silva. Well

out by Joel Robles. David Silva goes on but goes into a dead-end. Lovely

pass from De Bruyne to David Silva. Joel Robles was watchable. Good

goalkeeping from the Everton man. Gael Clichy. Davies. Davies, through

to Mirallas. Mirallas for Lukaku. Arms wide open, and the city defence

was wide open. Romelu Lukaku scores again. Started by the teenager, Tom

Davies. A misplaced pass from Gael Clichy. No question that Mirallas is

onside and he knew where Lukaku would be waiting for the ball, so he

put it there. Never really any doubt about where Lukaku was going to put

it. Tapped the ball back the other way. Claudio Bravo cannot stop it,

and Ronald Koeman's Everton have the lead against Manchester City. Lukaku

scores for the third game in a row, on 13 for the season. It is a head

scratch all right. All of the possession but they are behind in

the game. De Bruyne. De Bruyne on to it once more. Aguero waiting. Could

not slide far enough once again. Leighton Baines clearly feels that

Funes Mori was fouled nearby Sergio Aguero. And he was, all right. He

pulled into the floor. -- he just pulled him to the floor. Raheem

Sterling, great effort. Not far-away at all. But plenty into that shot.

And when he goes and hits the supporting pole behind the goal.

Otamendi. Holgate finds Aguero. Aguero motors on. De Bruyne. Five in

the penalty area for City. Clichy. Go Sagna Davies heads away.

Smothered by Barry, the shot. Tom Davies instinctively goes back to

the line and it's a good job he was there. A very glum looking Guardiola

at the start of the second half. Lukaku. Jaidee Toure, not able keep

it along. Lukaku. He finds Mirallas and Mirallas finds the net for 2-0.

What a start to the second half Everton. A mess of Manchester City's

own making. Yaya Toure Toure lost the ball with that touch. He thought

he had done enough to stop the ball reaching Mirallas the first time. It

is a very cool pass from Ross Barkley defined in the second time.

Our Manchester City finished in this game? -- our Manchester City? We

thought he looked glum before. There's no doubt now. Iheanacho.

Raheem Sterling. Good challenge by Mason Holgate. And another Everton

youngster, Tom Davies, sets off, and he keeps going. Lukaku, on four Ross

Barkley. Through to Davies again. Tom Davies beats Claudio Bravo, and

Everton have a 3-goal lead. The teenager is mobbed by his

team-mates. The biggest moment of his career so far by a mile, and it

might remain that way for some time. His first Everton goal. It is one to

remember, one to savour, and it looks as though it has sealed the

deal for the Toffees today. This is where it started. He is an

adventurous player and it was an adventurous run. A lovely bit of

skill to trick his way in between. He clips it over Claudio Bravo. Did

Lukaku get the touch? It has been announced as a Tom Davies goal. Even

he ran to the young man. This will confirm who the goal-scorer is.

Nothing from Lukaku and it is a Tom Davies goal. Everton three,

Manchester City zero. Three efforts on target, three goals scored.

Through from Ross Barkley, to Lukaku, across the face and Clichy

turns it behind Sam Coleman cannot make it for. But there might be a

fourth coming yet. Everton running riot. Aguero. Stopped by Tom Davies.

Leighton Baines. Otamendi in a brush with Lukaku, and Lukaku bashing

back. You can see Ronald Koeman does not think there's anything in it and

it's a card for Romelu Lukaku, and one for Otamendi for the first

offence. Ronald Koeman is taking offence with Otamendi for the way he

crashed down. We thought about going to his face, and I think he thought

better of it. I don't think that is a friendly exchange with Kevin

Friend. Holgate. That has bounced off Seamus Coleman. It has come for

look. He has scored. 4-0, Everton. Another dream is realised. No wonder

Ronald Koeman is beaming, no wonder Joel Robles has gone the full length

of the field, add a Mola Luckman -- Ademola Lookman has made a Everton

four, Manchester City zero. John Stones tried to play it away and it

bounced off Coleman, and then Lookman found a way between Claudio

Bravo's legs. The second teenager on target for the Toffees. If you are

an Everton fan, football days don't get much better than this. Ademola

Lookman with number four. City fans, look away now.

I think the second half was perfect. In every aspect of football. The

first half, we controlled it. They had some good chances. Was the dream

topping the two goals from the teenagers? Yes, that makes the final

result and the way we played, the team performance perfect. I don't

think football days get better than that, do they? No, I don't think it

will ever will. To score like that, my first goal and to beat Manchester

City 4-0, such a special day. Can you confirm it is your goal? Lukaku

is trying to pinch it. He is, but that is my goal. We created enough

chances to score goals, and when they arrived, and the second time

they arrived, they scored. For the men, the players, it's tough. You

had so much possession of the ball. Is this league so different to many

others? No, in all the leagues, the winner normally has more chances and

opportunities and they waved their moment to punish you, so it happened

at Barcelona in my career and it's also happened here. -- they wait for

their moment. We are not strong enough in the box, because when we

create chances, we have a lot of quality but we have to look to the

scorers. When we looked that others and the others arrive, it is

difficult. The fact you want to play the long balls and use the

counterattack, it happened in Germany and it happened here. It is

a project, and also for Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. They

expect the results, and a defeat like today is really strong. But he

is a good manager and he knows and he has that experience to turn it

around. I don't have doubts about that.

How do you describe that Everton performance? Clinical? It was

clinical. When you have four shots on target and win 4-0, it shows you

that Everton counter-attacked and every time they got a chance, they

scored. They were fantastic. The best performance of the season. Man

City might feel they should have had a penalty early on but that should

not detract. They should have had a penalty but in the grand scheme,

they deserve nothing. There is nothing fans like better than seeing

young players at the start of their career turning on a performance,

whether they have been brought into a club or developed. And Everton

have three today. Tom Davies, Vulgate and Ademola Lookman, 19. The

reading of the game from Tom Davies, he was great at anticipating the

ball. But this pass was superb. City were all over the place. But they

were absolutely brilliant. When you compare who he was in midfield

against, he actually saved his team off the line. He is in against Yaya

Toure, Zabaleta, David Silva. He was too strong for Sergio Aguero, and

just look at the weather Tom Davies demands the ball. Kevin de Bruyne,

touch, touch, turn, see you later. Playing against a very good player,

and he was the star of the show. Holgate wins the goal. And if he

plays until he is 35, he will probably not score a better goal.

The way he turns in, it was just unbelievable. And the arrogance and

ability, and the cheek of the finish was just sublime. To chip that over

the goalkeeper, after he has run so far with the ball was incredible. I

am not have pleased that Lukaku did not touch the ball. I cannot believe

he even went for it. Holgate, one-on-one with Raheem Sterling, he

never gave him a chance. Davies won the header. Another mistake from

John Stones, and Lincoln comes on. It is a hell of a finish. The keeper

should have done better but take nothing away from those three guys.

They were absolutely superb, particularly Tom Davies. And you

coach Tim at the England under 16 level, so it obviously has not held

him back. I worked with them for ten days with the under 17 is. What

struck me about him, he is a man. Even though he is so young, he has a

man's body. He can write the tackles. I think he has a massive

future. Gareth Barry cannot go on for ever and Everton has a

sensational young player. He may have superstars in the midfield. For

18 years old, it is very impressive. And Ross Barkley, who gets a lot of

stick, also portable. Man City have conceded four in the Premier League

this season, four in Barcelona. Only four clean sheets in 21 league

games. Is this a collective defence of responsibility? I think they have

had defensive problems all season. One man has borne the brunt of all

the criticism, from pundits, from the media, from supporters, and that

is John Stones, but I feel sorry for him because people were coming away

from that game thinking, let's have a go at John Stones. But I actually

think that he has been let down so badly that his centre-back

partnership and the full-back he is playing with. In particular for me

today, this was the first goal. The ball goes out to the left-back and

stones finds himself in midfield. With this talent, he can do that.

Cliche gets the ball at left-back. Davies intercepts, and now Yaya

Toure is at centre-back. He has to see a straight run from Kevin morale

is behind him. Otamendi has do keep in line with the last defender, Yaya

Toure, but he doesn't. He plays Kevin morale is offside. Look at the

distance between Otamendi and Lukaku. He has no idea about the

distance. A chance that the keeper could have saved it. Here, City or

in a good position. The centre-backs are in good covering positions. The

ball gets turned over in the field. And as Everton break, Stones makes a

last ditch challenge. Gael Clichy makes a sprint back in to cover the

centre-back. Ross Barkley picks the ball up man plays in Kevin Mirallas.

And this was the one that they said was John Stones' fault. A poor

clearance but when you are defender, you expect your mates next to you to

expect you to make a mistake. He doesn't. He switches off. The young

lad comes in and score is a fantastic goal. He has massive

problems defensively but I actually feel sorry for John Stones because I

see Otamendi and Kolarov every week, and I see Clichy, and they are all

making mistakes, but Stones gets the criticism. I agreed to a certain

extent because he is playing with a calamitous back four and getting no

help at all. Getting no help from the goalkeeper, who has been poor

again. But people will come away from the ground thinking that John

Stones has had a nightmare. He did have a nightmare. My concern with

him, and I do not want to criticise but he is 22 and he has played

nearly 100 league games. Everyone keeps saying to me that he's going

to be a top player but I keep seeing John Stones make mistake after

mistake after mistake. He made one mistake, where he failed to clear a

ball. We could have shown four or five things here today on John

Stones making mistakes, diving in late four tackles. I don't know what

is happening with him at Man City but I don't think he has improved as

much as people might have thought. But that is not just his fault. Not

at all. He's not getting any help from the players around him but if I

am a centre for it, young guy, and keep on missing chances, I do not

expect to be in the team. Eventually I will get left out. I see John

Stones making mistakes too often. I know you are a fan. I am a massive

fan of him. I think he is a top player and it is easy to have a go

at him you have somebody like Otamendi, and every week, at the

Etihad he was at fault in nearly every goal. Is he a top defender? He

is a top player. Is he a top defender? He makes mistakes but he

is improving. He has to start working on his defending because

that is what he is in the team to do, to defend. It is annoying when

you ask the same question and you do not get an answer. Welcome to my

world! Next to Old Trafford and the commentator for Manchester United

against Liverpool is Steve Wilson. Shoulder to shoulder again. The neck

and neck but always in others' faces. A struggle for supremacy that

dates back well over a century. The northern powerhouses of English

football meet. No defeat in 15 and nine straight wins. Jose Mourinho

has led a United to their best run for seven years. Marcos Rojo is

back, along with Carrick. With Matip involved in a row with Cameroon,

Liverpool and decided not to select him. He says he has retired from

international football but Cameron picked him anyway. Liverpool want

the fight to sort it out ASAP. Nathaniel Clyne has a rib injury so

there is a full Premier League debut for 18-year-old Alexander-Arnold.

Storage is on the bench. Valencia has a lot of space. And now to

Anthony Martial. That is dangerous. Ibrahimovic, from the tightest of

angles, requiring the most acrobatic of attempts to finish. Lovren, that

is short. Ibrahimovic, where is it spinning? Onto the roof of the net.

And Lovren apologises to his goalkeeper. Very close to being the

softest of goals. And the spinning ball favoured Liverpool. But it

might not have done. A good header from Ibrahimovic. Now,

Mkhitaryan, a lovely ball. Bob Barr! 1-0 at most. And it misses the post.

-- the first chance, Paul Pogba. Suddenly Liverpool were

backpedalling. They might have just made it a little bit tricky for all

Popeye with his presence, but still, that is a disappointing finish from

him. Beautifully found by Mkhitaryan.

Firmino chasing. Jones! Nobody was there. Firmino has got it away from

them. Anne Glover and put it behind. -- and Lovren puts it behind. He was

behind him but Jones did not know it. Liverpool get a corner. And

ball, penalty! Penalty deliverable. Sudden silence at Old Trafford as

the corner came in. Michael Oliver was in absolutely no doubt at all.

Paul Pogba is swivelling, trying to see whether the ball is dropping,

and it clearly comes down onto his arm. It is a penalty deliverable.

And James Milner, who has taken five and scored five for Liverpool this

season from the spot, faces David de Gea. And he put Liverpool in front!

Pogba's handball from a corner that came from a mistake from Jones.

Liverpool lead, James Milner from 12 yards. And James Milner has never

lost a Premier League match in which he has scored. 45 such matches

before today. The ball is given away by Alexander-Arnold. And now

Ibrahimovic. A good challenge from Lovren. He caught Anthony Martial. A

free kick for Manchester United. Lovren said he wanted the ball but

it was the way he jumped into the challenge. It looked likely. Likely

that a free kick would be given against him. Emre Can's ever. --

Emre Can's header. Mkhitaryan's corner. Herrera goes down. A free

kick just outside. High up on the thigh or groin area. It was a

wrestle on Henderson. Inside the penalty area. It was unseen, and

this is it. Here he comes, through the wall. A terrific save. That is a

superb save by the Liverpool keeper. Ibrahimovic rattled that through the

wall. Mignolet got down so quickly. Herrera again. A lovely ball.

Mkhitaryan is here. Mignolet did well. They need to get rid of it

here. Another good save by Mignolet. Another great ball from Herrera.

Mkhitaryan did not make the most of it. Jose Mourinho ticks of Michael

Carrick and brings on Wayne Rooney. One more goal needed for the record.

United need a goal to be on level terms. David Beckham watching on.

Firmino seemed to be in danger of giving it away. Alexander-Arnold

here. Now Ibrahimovic. That is a great ball. Liverpool struggling

here. Mignolet comes. It looked like it had to be a United equaliser.

Mkhitaryan has had Liverpool in his sights and twice Liverpool have got

away with it. The youngster was caught by Anthony Martial.

Ibrahimovic, great vision. Mkhitaryan is in. His first touch

was not as strong as he would have liked. It is a high tempo,

high-stakes game. Manchester United searching for an equaliser.

Liverpool standing firm. Coutinho's first touch is to beautifully caress

it. A good save by David de Gea. Coutinho's impact is almost

instantaneous. On the pitch, it didn't seem like

they had to talk to each other, it seemed to happen telepathically. 13

points off the league, this is their game in hand. It's a huge gap that

they would have to make up to be in the title race if they lose this

game. Valencia. Rooney. Clipped in

dangerously, Fellaini. Off the post. Ibrahimovic. Ibrahimovic! Zlatan

Ibrahimovic heads the equaliser for Manchester United. They are level,

and thereafter seven minutes for Manchester United to look to win it.

Liverpool are breached at last. Rooney cushioned it.

Fellaini flicked it on. Unlucky, the post, Valencia, Ibrahimovic, goal.

1-1. And now it is there to be won. If Liverpool thought that fortune

was smiling on them, they had to think again. Juan Mata here.

Victorian. -- Mkhitaryan. Pulled back by Ander Herrera rarer. Firmino

smashed him in the face. It is a yellow card for him. And it will be

a yellow card for him. Firmino's reaction here could actually have

got him worse. He fully deserves his yellow card for pulling back Roberto

Tamino. -- Roberto Firmino. Manchester United are posing

themselves some difficulties. Emre Can. Play on says the referee.

Wijnaldum. And Liverpool might have won the game. Straight at De Gea in

the end. Juan Mata here. A foul by Lovren. And Ibrahimovic... You might

as well stand on the edge of the turf and tell the waves to stop. He

is loving it. He is loving it. Jones. Valencia. Alexander-Arnold

away. Rooney. The whistle goes, Liverpool free kick. That just be

the end of the game. And Michael Oliver blows his whistle. What an

encounter. What a brilliant match. A fitting meeting in the history of

these two great clubs. It is all square, 1-1.

It was very emotional. It was intense. It was aggressive, but a

good aggressive, not a bad one. And we fought until the last second to

try and win it but Liverpool did the same to try not to lose it. I think,

in the end, the result is justified. There was a lot of action in the

last few minutes, you are right. It was exciting. In the end, we were

here to win the game, which is why we are not 100% satisfied. Tomorrow

I can enjoy the result. Today, only the performance. The second half was

like a basketball game, back and forth, no columnist of the game. --

no calmness to the game. The lads were a bit deflated in there, but

that is a good sign, it shows the development and how hungry we are to

get the three points at such a tough place. In the period of game when

Manchester United played the long balls, with Fellaini, they got free

kicks and corners and all the staff, and after 80 minutes, high intense

football, it's really hard. When we played and field this season we had

chances to win the match but we were more defensive. -- at Anfield. Today

was the opposite. Liverpool were much more defensive and they

defended with ten players in the second half. Of course. When you

have good players you smell the possibility of a counterattack but

today was the reverse, and Liverpool were the team defended. Let's see if

the critics are fair. If you go to Alan's questions you get sent to the

corner of the studio, which is where Phil Neville will explain how they

negated the man who makes United take. Michael Carrick, 16 games, 14

victories, no defeats, and I think that is why today Jurgen Klopp had

to change his system to nullify Michael Carrick. This was in the

first half. And he played without a centre forward in the first half and

I thought it was intelligent play. There was one man who I thought made

the system work. This is the system they played work. Bariti -- Firmino

played between Darmian, but it was this man here, Adam Lallana, he got

to Michael Carrick. Only 28 passes in the first half, Michael Carrick

and they disturbed Michael Carrick, in and out of possession. This was

Liverpool in possession. In particular, Michael Carrick, date of

the team into areas they are not comfortable. This is Adam Lallana

going for a free kick. Normally Carrick is sat in front of the front

-- back four. The minute he claims the space, look at the reaction of

Marcus road show. He wants to make the space. -- Rojo. We will take it

on. This is where Lallana has become one of the most intelligent plays in

the league, because the minute he touches the ball, he knows where the

spaces. He tries to exploit the space in between Carrick and Rojo.

This is why they disturbed them in the first. Rojo is in central

midfield alongside Michael Carrick. Darmian is at centre-back and

Anthony Martial is at centre-back. Not only did they deserve them --

disturb them, but every time Michael Carrick got the ball, Adam Lallana's

job was to get to him. This is Michael Carrick. He has had no joy

into midfield, and he stepped into the back four because he has that

quality, but look at the speed with which Lallana get to him. Michael

Carrick is not someone who gives the ball away that much. He was affected

in the first half and I think that is why at half-time Jose Mourinho

took Michael of an change the system. That was individually

Lallana on Carrick, and elsewhere they hunted. They were brilliant at

it, especially in the first half. They did not give Manchester United

any time on the ball to settle, where ever they work -- work in the

park, they went in twos and threes, and the energy and desire and hunger

to close down whoever was on the ball, they are all around Paul Pogba

when he gives the ball away. Lallana getting the free kick. Four guys

getting around the ball and attacking. They were absolutely

superb. This led up to the corner where they got the penalty from.

Look at them chasing, Phil Jones, harrying him. They get the corner

and they score from that. What I always ask you pundits, when you

show people having an impact, it's how to beat them. It's important.

United tried two different ways. In the first half they did not do this

enough. What I was talking about was passing. One touch, moving the ball,

pass and move. That is how Europe set it and how you can get through a

team. One touch, move, pass. They only did that once or twice in the

first half and that is how they got a chance. Mkhitaryan have the chance

and a good save from Mignolet, who played well today. Second half, this

is how they bypassed the midfield. Fellaini and Ibrahimovic is there,

and Rooney, so they kick it long and they pick up the second ball and

away they go. The pressing wasn't much this time, but he can bring it

the halfway line. Not a chance. This is what they were told to do a

half-time, especially when they brought Fellaini on, do that, get it

up to him and pick up the second ball and it works. Which is why he

came on. I saw a tweet from Rio Ferdinand saying he wanted Marcus

Rashford to come on, and he stayed on the bench and Fellaini did,

presumably for that reason? I think the whole stadium expected Rashford

to come on. But because the Liverpool organisation and pressing

was so good, Manchester United had to bypass the midfield. Not a great

day for Paul Pogba. We could have shown all sorts of things, but more

interesting is how he defends, or how you should defend that corners.

Look, I'm not so sure he should be picking it up -- at corners. Jose

Mourinho said United are not the biggest team, and he finds himself

blocked off, and he panicked. He doesn't know where the ball is all

the man is. He panics and losing his bearings and it is a clear handball,

and I thought Michael Oliver was outstanding. Pogba panics and it was

a clear handball. He finds himself blocked on and he nearly handball is

again. The loses Loughran at the far post. Just him behind, almost

playing hide and Seek. Too far away from him and he got a bit lucky. But

he was buried Paul today -- poor today, Paul Pogba. -- very poor

today. He knows how to position themselves at corners. It's

difficult and the way they have changed the role for players holding

onto other player shirts, but it's difficult when you are getting

blocked, but you have to do better. We have Swansea to come as they

continue their battle to stay in the Premier League, but part one of

yesterday's goals, starting with the league leaders.

Hazard. Might still come to him. Alonso. Six minutes gone and the

league leaders are in front. In towards David Luiz. Came back to

Alonso. If elected, 2-0. Marcus Alonso has provided both Chelsea God

-- goals. The league leaders have a 2-goal cushion. Super ball. Moses.

It will still come back to Kante. Pedro. Willian is onside. And Pedro

has surely sealed it for Chelsea. His seventh goal of the season and

Chelsea have scored three without their top scorer. Diego Costa was

missing, why was he not in the squad? Has there been a bus stop? As

a coach, I am sorting out all the players in the changing room and

never doing a press Conference, but I repeat, there are no problems.

Wanyama. Eriksen, a bit of space. Harry Kane, 1-0. What a way to

celebrate becoming a new dad for the first time.

Eriksen in behind Chris Brunt. Danny Rose on the right-hand side.

Eriksen. Deflected, in. The Spurs are 2-0 up and deservedly so. It's a

long way back now for West Brom. Walker. Laid back to him. He got

there. He's given it away. Harry Kane in the middle. And that wraps

it up. Given away cheaply by West Bromwich Albion but finished in

style. West Bromwich Albion, no way back now. Eriksen. Into Harry Kane.

Dele Alli. Harry Kane, Patrick. It is. What a week it has been for him.

-- Harry Kane, on a hat-trick. There is Mark Noble, on towards

Antonio, who is onside and he will get there in front of Hennessy. He

has turned it in, Feghouli. Antonio was going to glory, but there was

Feghouli, and West Ham are in front. -- going for glory. Lanzini is

onside. Here is Antonio. Andy Caroll on the far side. I owe, that is

tremendous. -- oh, that is tremendous. Andy Carroll has been

tremendous today and he has provided an absolute sumptuous, goal, like

Dimitri Payet. There are those who don't play but those who will can

provide moments of sheer class. Manages to get across in on his

conscience. Here is Antonio. Lanzini to wrap things up. Lovely. The coup

de grace. A wonderful Western response to a troubled week at the

club. So to Swansea City, whose new manager Paul Clement faced Arsenal

in his first home match yesterday. The club's rise to the Premier

League saw his football philosophy lauded but with the relegation

battle ongoing, is the Swansea identity still intact? Football

clubs are part of the community identity, our DNA. It has really

been a rise and rise. It is a fantastic fairy tale story. The way

we came through the leagues was unbelievable. The way they started

playing out at the back. One manager would come in and another one would

leave, and the way they played was the Swansea way. Total Football. It

has been an incredible story and it is only now that it is starting to

appear. Swansea and 2017 bottom of the Premier League. The supporters'

trust was formed in 2001. At the time, we were really sinking to the

depths. We still retain our 21% shareholding. The other shareholders

entered into discussions with American consortiums to sell their

shares. Of course, they totally excluded us from the sale

negotiations. The atmosphere from Swansea supporters is turning even

more acrimonious towards those who make the decisions. After some

initial uncertainty, we are developing a relationship with our

American owners, and I think they are beginning to understand what

football clubs in this country need. The fanzine, only a pound. It seems

like the shareholders put their own financial gains above the club. We

began to unravel when Michael Laudrup left. After that, the board

started taking more of a control over transfers. Wilfred Bony left

and was not replaced. When you do not replace top players, you will

find it difficult and that is what has happened this season. They were

looked on as a model for other clubs to stabilise in the Premier League.

They are going back to their old way in a sense, with the Paul Clement

appointment. A relatively young coach, hungry to make his mark at

the club. I think they are looking to almost go back to the future.

They have had highs and lows. It breaks my heart to see us go down

because I know how much the fans love this club. Paul Clement has

taken his place in the dugout for the very first time as Swansea

City's head coach. Sigurdsson moves forward. Llorente in the centre.

This is Alexis Sanchez. Alarm bells ringing for Swansea. Mesut Ozil. And

it is in. Olivier Giroud. After all the good work for Swansea City, it

is Arsenal who make the breakthrough. Eric Dier with the

Boleyn. And then he goes. The South Korean international was rather

hoping he would have got a penalty. Sigurdsson cannot turn. Still with

Arsenal. It will be. And it curls into the back of the net. -- Alex

Iwobi. He took the sting out of the shot. Arsenal pose a threat every

time they come in. And it goes in off Kyle Naughton. Alex Iwobi,

beautiful play. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. Ramsay can't get

it, but Sanchez does. Arsenal lead 4-0. It is turning into a rout in

the second half. There is the final whistle and Paul Clement's first

Premier League home game, the Swans are going back to the bottom of the

top-flight. We all have a difficult job on our hands but we have to get

back on the training field and work at getting the basics right. I

believe if you keep working hard and getting your organisation right, you

have a better chance. Let me ask you both, because you are coaching and

interested in management, you'd took over a club and were relegated, how

much of a gamble is this for Paul Clement? I think it is a gamble for

Swansea to hire him and it is also a gamble from him to leave a

comfortable position at one of the biggest clubs in the world, with one

of the best managers, who were going to be hugely successful. But his

hunger and desire has obtusely taken over, because he wants to be a

manager in the Premier League. Can relegation ruin your managerial

career? If you apply it to me, no. But is there a stigma? It is a very

difficult situation for him. They are conceding goals for fun. 49 in

21 games. It is a big ask. But if they get relegated this season, it

will not be Paul Clement's fault. It will be the owners. They have a

system that worked for them and they have gone against it. How difficult

is it to choose the right club? It is nearly impossible for an English

coach to get a job in the Premier League so I think he thought, it did

not work out at Derby, and I have a burning ambition to get a managerial

career under my belt. The FA Cup continues this week and we have live

coverage of Lincoln against Ipswich. Highlights of the other third-round

replays on Wednesday night. Mark two of our round-up begins with Hull

against Bournemouth. Jack Wilshere for Bournemouth. And he goes down.

And it is a penalty. Yet another soft penalty conceded by Hull City

this season. Junior Stanislas hooks it away. It was always going to be a

hard afternoon for Hull City. It has just become a whole lot more

difficult. Huddlestone knew where Robertson was. He has a bit of time.

And Hull City have equaliser. Through Hernandez. They are right

back in the game. Snodgrass for Hernandez. Can he get inside the

area? He has done. What a shot! Hernandez with his second of the

afternoon. And look at that celebration. Snodgrass crosses. A

good opportunity for Huddlestone. And he is in. Tyrone Ming is on his

first-ever Premier League start. -- Tyrone Mings. And suddenly they are

romping away. Sunderland giving the ball away. Stopped by the boot of

Vito Mannone. The pressure mounting. Ani, Arnie is the chant from up high

in the away stands. And Mark Hughes' team got their reward for taking

control of the game. Arnautovic. Great play from the Austrian. It

goes in again and he scores again. Brilliant work by Stoke City. This

is great work. Arnautovic, and Shaqiri. Arnautovic, Crouch. 2-0.

Charlie Adam. Vito Mannone knows that Crouch is coming. The

goalkeeper got his timing wrong. The threat of Peter Crouch coming

towards him, he panicked. The really important that Sunderland get back

into this and keep the crowd onside. Here is Jermain Defoe. And he has

put it in! One chance, one goal, that is Jermain Defoe for you. A

quick check to see if the flag is up and he does as well as anybody in

the game, still, at the age of 34. Marney is making way and Joey Barton

is welcomed back. Not short of friends in this town. And this would

be quite a return if Joey Barton can put this into the back of the

Southampton net. Barton against the wall. And Joey Barton has only been

on the pitch a couple of minutes, but he is back in the Premier

League, back at Burnley and back with a goal. What were the odds on

that? And a here for Stuani but the flag is up

for offside. Marginal, I would say. Nathan cleverly, and it is against

the bulge. And it is over. Well, that was almost certainly Watford's

best chance of the afternoon and it fell to the man who has just come on

and come back to the club, Tom Cleverley. He was pleading for

Watford too greater chance like that. And here is the Premier League

table. Liverpool's drop, magister City ten adrift of the leaders. None

of the teams at the bottom half were in action.

Phones should be off, Steve Bauer. It was not very good. Good June. A

great nutmeg from Dele Alli. -- good June. A great whatever that is from

Shaqiri. This Sunderland fan could not cope with another five minutes

watching. Twitter had a field deal this afternoon with Paul Pogba

emojis. -- a field day. I don't want to cast doubt be cynical but I am

not sure that is needed. -- I don't want to cast doubts or be cynical

but I am not sure that crutch is needed. It is impossible. Enjoy. And

that was you who phoned Steve Bauer. It was. Thanks for Phil and Allen

but we will intimate with Graham Taylor, a man who gave all in his

first England cap and to a lot of us at the BBC worked with on Five Live,

enjoying his warmth and enthusiasm and that smile. Yesterday the family

club that he loved came together to show how much they loved him. The

Watford family, with Graham's family in attendance, paying their respects

to this family man. We invite all supporters to show their

appreciation for Watford's greatest ever manager. APPLAUSE.

I don't think people will appreciate how much of a good, genuine person

he was. In the Watford family, we all marked in together. And Graham

created all of that. He was just straight down the middle

and told it as it was. I certainly admired him.

The sound of hitting a football thrills me. My playing career is

over but I am very fortunate I am a manager and I would like to remain

that, simply so I can hear a football being struck.
