:00:20. > :00:38.How about that. Just brilliant. Oh that is wonderful! An absolute
:00:39. > :00:49.belter! One touch. What a goal. Oh look at that!
:00:50. > :01:00.Cahill. They have done what potential champions do.
:01:01. > :01:08.2-1 to Crystal Palace. Chelsea be concerned, because Tottenham are
:01:09. > :01:21.coming at you. Hazard has given Chelsea the lead
:01:22. > :01:27.once and twice. Alonso. Can anybody stop Antonio Conte's Chelsea?
:01:28. > :01:30.Lingard's gone for goal and what a goal.
:01:31. > :01:40.Chelsea's name isn't on the trophy yet, but a win
:01:41. > :01:42.against Manchester United would take them close.
:01:43. > :01:47.Highlights of West Brom-v-Liverpool and Saturday's goals.
:01:48. > :01:50.All in the company of Danny Murphy, Jermaine Jenas and Sam Wallace
:01:51. > :02:08.Every week just a little bit nearer to the prize. Every speak Spurs keep
:02:09. > :02:12.the pressure on. Again the gap is narrowed to four points before
:02:13. > :02:25.Chelsea play. Finally the gaps to get through a United line-up might
:02:26. > :02:31.be more difficult. Jose Mourinho has made four changes. Ibrahimovic is
:02:32. > :02:39.among those shifted out to the sub's bench. In Chelsea's net a first
:02:40. > :02:45.Premier League appearance all season for Begovic with Courtois ruled out.
:02:46. > :02:51.A late change had to be made with Marcus Alonso pulling out after the
:02:52. > :02:59.warm up. Zouma starts instead. Seven games to go, they would have to fail
:03:00. > :03:08.to win three of those games for Spurs to have any chance of pipping
:03:09. > :03:12.them. David Luiz apologises for switching off for a second. Rashford
:03:13. > :03:21.entitled to shoot, just not like that.
:03:22. > :03:36.De Gea straight out nearly to Kante. Matic is on to it. Chelsea claim
:03:37. > :03:39.handball. Herrera again with the through ball and Rashford with the
:03:40. > :03:44.chance and it is taken brilliantly. That is some noise. That is some
:03:45. > :03:54.finish. What a pass from her Rennes ra. It hit his hand to set up the
:03:55. > :03:58.move. The referee deemed it did hit the hand, accidental was his
:03:59. > :04:04.verdict. He got on with threading the ball through the eye of a need
:04:05. > :04:08.toll Rashford. -- needle to Rashford. United haven't been known
:04:09. > :04:13.for scoring early in Premier League games this season. There is one
:04:14. > :04:18.inside seven minutes. Manchester United lead, but it is a goal laced
:04:19. > :04:24.with a touch of controversy. It would be interesting to know Antonio
:04:25. > :04:34.Conte's thoughts at this moment. Manchester United are not happy with
:04:35. > :04:42.a coming together between Diego Costa and Bailly. Diego Costa would
:04:43. > :04:53.be best advised to walk away from all this.
:04:54. > :05:01.Bobby Madley has been made aware of something that he didn't see at the
:05:02. > :05:09.time. He can't have done. It is just a shove. He collides with the post a
:05:10. > :05:17.bit. Not something Costa needs to do. But the uproar over that was a
:05:18. > :05:26.bit OTT. Young across goal and across everybody. United, thanks to
:05:27. > :05:27.their eager front two, hitting Chelsea on the break every time they
:05:28. > :05:47.can. Kante brings Young down. Diego
:05:48. > :05:57.Costa's gone five games without a goal, having scored in all of the
:05:58. > :06:06.previous three. Zouma gets up above Fellaini and Cahill. Pedro's touch
:06:07. > :06:11.was important. Bobby Madley has seen an infringement and it is a free
:06:12. > :06:18.kick for Chelsea. Caused more of a problem for Begovic than it might
:06:19. > :06:23.have done that ball from Rashford. It has been impressive now Rashford
:06:24. > :06:24.and Lingard have played. They're buzzing around the Chelsea players -
:06:25. > :06:40.so much energy. That is Kante on Pogba. An interview
:06:41. > :06:44.with Paul Pogba this week had his speaking about Kante and you got a
:06:45. > :06:50.feeling there was a desire on his part to try and look the better
:06:51. > :06:55.player today. Antonio Conte knows about him, having had him at
:06:56. > :06:58.Juventus before he left to take charge of the Italian national team.
:06:59. > :07:04.Diego Costa is going to get a yellow card. He is not even going to look
:07:05. > :07:10.at Bobby Madley to get it. He knew exactly what he was doing. He just
:07:11. > :07:14.came in late. Alonso forced to watch, having been nameped in the
:07:15. > :07:22.Chelsea line-up and looking like he is a big miss.
:07:23. > :07:36.Free kick against Diego Costa. Marcus Rojo is down, as is the
:07:37. > :07:40.Chelsea striker, the verdict has gone with jumping in. There was a
:07:41. > :07:46.little push there. Did Diego Costa there dig his arm in. Rojo
:07:47. > :07:54.definitely had a go back. As he lands, watch that left elbow. Rojo
:07:55. > :08:02.felt that was intentional. Bobby Madley was looking by the time Rojo
:08:03. > :08:05.re-Talliated. -- retaliated. There seems to be trouble brewing with
:08:06. > :08:14.Diego Costa today. And he is in the book.
:08:15. > :08:29.That has come off Cahill and gone just over the bar. Cahill has a few
:08:30. > :08:33.words with Victor Moses after that. Rashford looking dangerous with
:08:34. > :08:38.Lingard. Antonio Conte not as animated as usual on the touchline.
:08:39. > :08:43.Not a lot of arm-waving. Subdued - like his team.
:08:44. > :08:52.A boot was raised high by Cahill. He was claiming handball against
:08:53. > :08:56.Fellaini. But he had his leg up at a 90 degree angle and it was always
:08:57. > :09:25.going to be a free kick for that. Young to Herrera who was deflected
:09:26. > :09:30.and it's in! Manchester United 2, Chelsea 0. Herrera's first Premier
:09:31. > :09:37.League goal this season is a massive one. Great work by Ashley Young. A
:09:38. > :09:44.mistake by Kante. Young took it up. Took it on. Herrera took a chance
:09:45. > :09:51.and that is what happens when you buy a ticket. He got just the
:09:52. > :09:56.deflection he needed. Luiz was moving the other way. A big chance
:09:57. > :10:00.for Jose Mourinho to beat his old team today. They are in charge,
:10:01. > :10:04.United. Chelsea's grip on the Premier League title looks
:10:05. > :10:09.significantly looser now. Where are they going to find two goals from in
:10:10. > :10:15.this half, the way the game's been played so far? Gary Cahill had
:10:16. > :10:21.switched off there. As the ball was cleared, he was arguing with Lingard
:10:22. > :10:24.and getting him back to his feet. Manchester United are improved their
:10:25. > :10:28.home performance today massively and you have to give credit to their
:10:29. > :10:32.manager. No other opposing in the boss in the league knows Chelsea as
:10:33. > :10:33.well as Jose Mourinho and it has been a tactical master class from
:10:34. > :10:53.him so far. Lingard! Chelsea wide-open,
:10:54. > :10:58.crumbling, Manchester United absolutely flying. Two against five
:10:59. > :11:15.there. And the two got the chance to make it 3-0. There's a who's who.
:11:16. > :11:24.Silvestre, Townsend, Nevill, Le Saux, earl. Into the side of the
:11:25. > :11:29.net. That thundered toward Begovic's goal. He is mindful now he has
:11:30. > :11:30.almost got to do it all by himself, with Lingard having been
:11:31. > :11:48.substituted. Rashford - one against four in the
:11:49. > :11:53.Chelsea half. Rashford takes on Luiz and tries to wrestle him out of the
:11:54. > :12:00.way. Rashford keeps going! And draws a save from Begovic. Showing real
:12:01. > :12:07.determination. Maybe a foul on Luiz, but it wasn't given as such. I think
:12:08. > :12:11.it was squeezing in, but for Begovic getting down quickly. Gareth
:12:12. > :12:16.Southgate must be delighted with what he has seen from Rashford
:12:17. > :12:29.today. Lingard too before he was subbed.
:12:30. > :12:37.Fabregas has on in on Carrick. That is the worst tackle we have seen in
:12:38. > :12:40.the game. He was horribly late. A yellow card for Fabregas. He was
:12:41. > :12:48.never going to win the race for the ball. I think yellow is about right.
:12:49. > :12:54.Jose Mourinho has already started his ritual of shaking hands with his
:12:55. > :13:02.back room staff for a job well done. It is nearly done now.
:13:03. > :13:10.Listen to those cheers! For a Manchester United win that will be
:13:11. > :13:14.cheered just as loudly by Tottenham. A three-point gain for them on
:13:15. > :13:19.Chelsea this weekend. Only four between the teams now and United
:13:20. > :13:30.have given notice that their top four hopes are far from over yet.
:13:31. > :13:36.Rashford a live wire in attack. What difference will it make? It might
:13:37. > :13:39.mean Chelsea have to wait a week or so longer to celebrate the title.
:13:40. > :13:48.What does it mean to Jose Mourinho? Everything. It was clear you had a
:13:49. > :13:53.plan, did that plan work perfectly? I think so. And I think it did also,
:13:54. > :13:58.at Stamford Bridge in the cup. Because it was the same plan. With
:13:59. > :14:06.eleven players was working. Very difficult for them. Very fast and
:14:07. > :14:07.creative players. The best contact team in the country. We controlled
:14:08. > :14:21.them. We controlled them very well. Man United showed more decide than
:14:22. > :14:30.us and motivation and ambition. In this game. It is simple. Will you
:14:31. > :14:39.ask the players where they could not find the same desire? The fault is
:14:40. > :14:47.mine because in that situation, they were not able to have the right
:14:48. > :14:52.concentration to win this game. Not the players. The fault is the coach.
:14:53. > :14:57.I am not surprised to see Eden Hazard standing nearby. You were not
:14:58. > :15:02.far from him all day? When we did not have the ball I tried to be with
:15:03. > :15:07.him and I tried to receive the ball to show myself and I made the first
:15:08. > :15:13.pass and scored the goal. I think he is a top player, the best so far
:15:14. > :15:18.this season and we will have to be very careful with him. My job today
:15:19. > :15:23.without the ball was to be with him and do not let him receive the ball
:15:24. > :15:29.comfortably and that worked. I did not play him against Sunderland
:15:30. > :15:33.because I wanted him totally focused on this job because it is a very
:15:34. > :15:39.difficult job. He did that well. We just have to do the job, we have
:15:40. > :15:43.that four point advantage, we're still in a good position and we have
:15:44. > :15:48.to concentrate and if we pick up the points we need and win the games, it
:15:49. > :15:55.does not matter what Spurs do. It is not normal for Chelsea this season
:15:56. > :16:01.to win the title, because we started as the underdog and you must
:16:02. > :16:08.understand this, to find it right, the right solution to reach the
:16:09. > :16:14.target. It will not be easy. To both Jermaine Jenas and Danny, where they
:16:15. > :16:21.dominant today? And was more surprised by their lack of intensity
:16:22. > :16:25.and ability to deal with the pressure that Man United and Jose
:16:26. > :16:32.Mourinho with his tactics put them under. And also, their failure to
:16:33. > :16:36.adapt, even when they figured out that Eden Hazard was getting man
:16:37. > :16:41.marked and it was a different situation that Man United had lined
:16:42. > :16:45.up, they did not seem to change and I suppose that is what surprised me
:16:46. > :16:53.more. Man United were brilliant. Were you surprised? I was, it was
:16:54. > :16:57.very brave of Mourinho to go with the same tactics at Stamford Bridge
:16:58. > :17:01.when they lost the game but I would agree, it was working in the first
:17:02. > :17:06.game and he did not see any reason to do it differently, instead of
:17:07. > :17:11.Jones it was tempted, he was magnificent. Before he talks us
:17:12. > :17:15.through this plan, having dealt with Mourinho, did you think it was
:17:16. > :17:24.important for him personally that there was a tactical masterclass
:17:25. > :17:27.that came off? He has built his reputation on that bespoke
:17:28. > :17:33.performance to win that game, it reminded me in some aspects of the
:17:34. > :17:36.game against Liverpool in April 2014, that fell between two European
:17:37. > :17:41.ties and he went to the team trying to win the league and picked them
:17:42. > :17:47.apart and exploited their vulnerabilities. How did he do that?
:17:48. > :17:59.Well... The spare man for man United was at the back, they went two
:18:00. > :18:06.against one with Bailly and Rojo. Herrera, he followed him, at the
:18:07. > :18:12.back you had that and Darmian followed Pedro everywhere, you had
:18:13. > :18:18.Pogba in the middle along with Fellaini and Young and Valencia
:18:19. > :18:26.against the wingbacks and two players against three rather than
:18:27. > :18:31.one. Which was Jesse Lingard and Rashford, causing problems. The
:18:32. > :18:38.discipline of Herrera, when you burn mark someone, you cannot switch off,
:18:39. > :18:42.if he scores you have not done your job and what I liked is he followed
:18:43. > :18:47.his runs, matching him yard free around but he contributed when they
:18:48. > :18:53.were in possession of the ball and that is very difficult. If you
:18:54. > :19:01.watch... Hazard thinks, I have to lose him. He is running behind, ends
:19:02. > :19:06.up on the right wing, Herrera gives him that little trip. It doesn't
:19:07. > :19:10.matter while, you must nullify the best player and he was Chelsea's
:19:11. > :19:14.best from a creative point of view. Hazard is one of the best I have
:19:15. > :19:17.seen taking the ball in tight situations and he did not get the
:19:18. > :19:24.chance to manipulate the game in any way and look at that pass. We were
:19:25. > :19:28.talking about him in the first-half, defensively, and he produces that.
:19:29. > :19:37.He probably got away with handball. Superb. As good a pass as you will
:19:38. > :19:40.see at this time, Rashford getting his one on one. That gives them
:19:41. > :19:44.confidence to continue with tactics and play with more expression and it
:19:45. > :19:48.was as good a performance tactically as I have seen. Hazard, could he
:19:49. > :19:56.have done more to lose? A little bit. It is hard to be critical when
:19:57. > :20:01.Herrera play so well but Eden Hazard has such high standards that we did
:20:02. > :20:07.expect more, maybe it is a bad day. He is allowed that. And that was
:20:08. > :20:15.handball? It was. Hazard could have done more. Clearly, it hits the hand
:20:16. > :20:18.of Herrera, he has lifted that for the reason, he was to get that over
:20:19. > :20:25.the foot of Herrera, then it hits his arm, it is not going in the line
:20:26. > :20:32.of direction where you want, they got done a little bit, Chelsea, but
:20:33. > :20:34.they were a long way from goal. Mourinho, that is most impressive
:20:35. > :20:41.performance against another top seven rival. I think so and that is
:20:42. > :20:45.important for him, afterwards he said he was detailed in his
:20:46. > :20:49.post-match press conference about how he thought he had done at and
:20:50. > :20:57.there are always messages in the things he says. He likes the
:20:58. > :21:04.sponsor. Nothing without a reason. Everything is for a reason. He said
:21:05. > :21:06.that when they have the ball, it is more difficult, which is quite
:21:07. > :21:11.something to say about the team, the team at the top of the league are
:21:12. > :21:15.counterattacking mainly and there are lots of little things he pointed
:21:16. > :21:20.out and I thought he was making a point that they are not quite the
:21:21. > :21:25.side everyone thinks. Going back to some of United was my players,
:21:26. > :21:28.Ibrahimovic has been invaluable this season and they had a different, the
:21:29. > :21:34.attacking focus was different with Rashford and Lingard. Mourinho got
:21:35. > :21:40.that tactically brilliant, I think even going two at the top against
:21:41. > :21:45.the Chelsea back three, that caused huge problems, they were always
:21:46. > :21:49.linked together mostly, energy and pace, whether closing down or
:21:50. > :21:55.running behind, Rashford knows exactly where Lingard is, feeding
:21:56. > :21:59.off each other nicely, always in the box, unfortunate not to get onto the
:22:00. > :22:06.end of that one and when one of them had bothered, that is the option,
:22:07. > :22:11.always around in to help out. Rashford was the standard, whenever
:22:12. > :22:15.faced in those situations, you could see the fear in the Chelsea
:22:16. > :22:20.defenders, they did not want that, but how many players he has dragged
:22:21. > :22:24.across for that opportunity from Ashley Young, Chelsea playing a very
:22:25. > :22:29.high line against a rapid, dangerous centre forward. He does not want to
:22:30. > :22:37.run towards his own goal like that, great finish. I think a lot of
:22:38. > :22:43.credit has to go to Lingard, as were great, his runs, that did help
:22:44. > :22:48.Rashford, all the way across, Cahill wants to get close but this one from
:22:49. > :22:53.Lingard, textbook centre forward play, it just keeps Cahill back and
:22:54. > :22:59.you have that linkup play again, and at this point, he has gone, he is
:23:00. > :23:03.just too quick. Making Chelsea run back towards their own goal and
:23:04. > :23:10.nearly causing Gary Cahill to score an own goal. Brilliant display.
:23:11. > :23:14.Palace played two up when they beat them as well, it causes them
:23:15. > :23:21.different problems if you have place. We can look at the back pages
:23:22. > :23:29.that will appear tomorrow morning. Man marking masterclass. The
:23:30. > :23:38.Telegraph, the title race blown wide open. Antonio Conte, it is all my
:23:39. > :23:44.fault. He said in a press conference that Tottenham is the best team, in
:23:45. > :23:49.great form, feeling the opportunity to write history. What is he doing?
:23:50. > :23:53.Maybe take pressure off his own players and it has been a strange
:23:54. > :24:02.season for him, once they went on the run after the Arsenal defeat,
:24:03. > :24:07.this is the first time really, along with the Palace to fit, but
:24:08. > :24:13.newspapers had to face difficult questions, it has been one afternoon
:24:14. > :24:16.of praise after the next, it is new territory and this is interesting to
:24:17. > :24:21.see his reaction, during the Euros he was aggressive on the front foot
:24:22. > :24:24.of any criticism and this time he is different, he brings things more
:24:25. > :24:33.onto himself and is protecting his players. It is just one defeat and
:24:34. > :24:37.the run-in is favourable, arguably the trip to Goodison is the most
:24:38. > :24:43.difficult left? Let us give Tottenham fans some hope! But that
:24:44. > :24:45.run-in is much more favourable towards Chelsea, I would be amazed
:24:46. > :24:50.if they blew it. I would agree. Champions League-chasing Liverpool
:24:51. > :25:06.with a tough-looking 1981. Magnificent goal by Cyrille
:25:07. > :25:09.Regis! Cyrille Regis, Bryan Robson and Remi Moses via West Brom to
:25:10. > :25:13.fourth place in division one. Moses! The 2017 vintage are aiming
:25:14. > :25:16.to match the club's best top flight finish since then,
:25:17. > :25:18.helped by a settled side, the most goals from corners
:25:19. > :25:25.and the most headed goals. Meanwhile, an unsettled
:25:26. > :25:30.Liverpool continue to Mane is out for the season, Lallana
:25:31. > :25:35.and Henderson have been missed, while Coutinho and Firmino rose
:25:36. > :25:49.from the bench to get 14 goals from corners have helped
:25:50. > :25:54.West Brom to top their mini league but suddenly financial giants but
:25:55. > :26:00.they are more rounded team, no questioning the remarkable job done
:26:01. > :26:02.by Tony Pulis. One clean sheet in 13 is not the defence and security he
:26:03. > :26:07.needed to underpin Liverpool's quest for the top four finish. There will
:26:08. > :26:17.be questions if they fail. The Baggies without a win in three. They
:26:18. > :26:21.bring in Robson-Kanu. Coutinho is restored to the starting line-up
:26:22. > :26:32.along with Firmino. Lucas is also back. Whitburn dropping out. Still
:26:33. > :26:36.without Henderson, Alanna and Manet. The hawthorns will show its support
:26:37. > :26:44.for the grieving star bridge family who had a recent double tragedy
:26:45. > :26:52.which cost the lives of a mother and son and has left the father shocked
:26:53. > :27:12.and saddened. APPLAUSE
:27:13. > :27:21.Liverpool don't particularly have a great record year. They haven't kept
:27:22. > :27:32.a clean sheet in seven games. Phillips with the long throw-in,
:27:33. > :27:41.Dawson is there. Chadli, on the edge of the box. There was contact? The
:27:42. > :27:53.referee says no. Robson-Kanu goes to ground. He could not stretch. West
:27:54. > :27:57.Brom fans singing the name of Tony Pulis, unbeaten in eight home
:27:58. > :28:04.Premier League games against Liverpool as a manager. That has
:28:05. > :28:15.gone away and here as Coutinho. Firmino got in his way! Just wide.
:28:16. > :28:19.Giving away by Yacob. A real development in the Premier League in
:28:20. > :28:21.the last three or four years, pouncing on the counter from
:28:22. > :28:29.mistakes like that. He nearly made West Brom pay. They are missing huge
:28:30. > :28:36.names. Alanna had a wonderful campaign, Henderson was influential,
:28:37. > :28:45.Mane of course was the gamebreaker. Pressure on Dawson from Coutinho.
:28:46. > :28:49.Excessive force. In that challenge. He said he played the ball. Their
:28:50. > :28:54.first feeling was he did get the ball. But it was the manner in which
:28:55. > :29:00.he won that ball that displeased the referee. I didn't see much in that.
:29:01. > :29:19.Dawson. That was a big mess! Grujic, That was just edged away
:29:20. > :29:25.from him by Firmino. That is why he missed. You can see it was more
:29:26. > :29:38.about Firmino's touch that cleared it than Chadli. Coutinho. That is
:29:39. > :29:44.their best move so far. Lovely ball to him. Hit it first time. Wide it
:29:45. > :29:52.went. Still Sturridge sits on the bench for Liverpool. Origi preferred
:29:53. > :29:56.up front. I can't see that is an ideal situation for Sturridge and I
:29:57. > :30:14.can't imagine it will continue for much longer.
:30:15. > :30:23.Coutinho. That time it's over. But we have seen so many spectacular
:30:24. > :30:31.goals from him from that position. Good work by Firmino. Coutinho
:30:32. > :30:39.already in double figures this season. Two passionate men, but they
:30:40. > :30:49.go about their business in a dercht style. -- different style.
:30:50. > :30:57.Robson-Kanu couldn't find the net. Livermore the best passer of the
:30:58. > :31:11.ball so far. No end product. Easy for the goalkeeper.
:31:12. > :31:20.Brunt has pulled him back and that could be a yellow card. It will be a
:31:21. > :31:26.caution. The referee's being booed, but really he has got no option. A
:31:27. > :31:37.pulling offence. Milner, in it comes, header on to
:31:38. > :31:45.the far post, it is 1-0 to Liverpool right on half-time. Firmino got it.
:31:46. > :31:49.West Brom so adept at scoring from set pieces, have conceded from a set
:31:50. > :31:54.piece. The first header was a good one across the box and Firmino
:31:55. > :31:58.stealing in. Scored at Stoke last week. Gets another today. Liverpool
:31:59. > :32:26.ahead. Important goal for Liverpool that.
:32:27. > :32:40.Never looked likely there. How wide was it? Let's see from this angle.
:32:41. > :32:46.Oh, well wide! Four of West Brom's back five are in their 30s. The
:32:47. > :32:54.defence will need rejuvenating if they're to maintain their
:32:55. > :33:02.improvement. McAuley was already a professional before Origi was born!
:33:03. > :33:08.Milner, bags of space, over it went. Big chance for Liverpool to wrap it
:33:09. > :33:13.up. Good move by Liverpool. Well held up there. They moved the ball
:33:14. > :33:18.on quickly. Firmino chipped to the far post and over it went. Dropping
:33:19. > :33:21.on to the right boot. Awkward height for him to hit it and keep it down.
:33:22. > :33:38.He knows how tight this one is. Lucas saw the run of Firmino. Origi
:33:39. > :33:43.is offside. Oh, Firmino was offside. The brightest smile in the Premier
:33:44. > :33:46.League. He is on, he is on, he is on, he is on, he's off! Good
:33:47. > :34:00.decision. He certainly has brought the best
:34:01. > :34:08.out of a tiny squad. Rondon turned Matip and he is off and running. A
:34:09. > :34:14.chance for West Brom. Thwarted by Mignolet. Their first really big
:34:15. > :34:23.chance of game. Rondon did brilliantly. Played Phillips in with
:34:24. > :34:30.a well-timed pass. Mignolet spread himself and saved in a big moment.
:34:31. > :34:34.Might not have many more chances. We are in stoppage time now. A
:34:35. > :34:40.significant victory this would be for Liverpool.
:34:41. > :34:48.West Brom forcing the corner. They have come strongly at Liverpool in
:34:49. > :34:57.the last 10 minutes or so. Up comes Ben Foster. Is anything picking him
:34:58. > :35:04.up? I don't think they are. A good ball back to McLean. The keeper's
:35:05. > :35:10.well down field. Moreno goes for goal. It is well wide. He had
:35:11. > :35:16.Sturridge to his left. He had Firmino to his right and he had
:35:17. > :35:21.Foster stranded way up the field. McLean lost this here. Took a chance
:35:22. > :35:26.and Moreno should have played that to Sturridge and didn't. West Brom
:35:27. > :35:33.can get a free kick in the final third and get a quality ball in,
:35:34. > :35:47.they can yet rescue this game. Mignolet with a big punch away.
:35:48. > :35:52.Foster is up there again. Tosster's still Tosster -- Foster's still in
:35:53. > :35:57.the box. Foster goes across like a full-back. Look at this. Ben Foster
:35:58. > :36:04.slides in like a full-back and still they go on. Away to Sturridge. And
:36:05. > :36:09.Brunt took a chance. Great late theatre. But it's over now! And a
:36:10. > :36:14.massive three points for Liverpool. You can see how big it is. Really
:36:15. > :36:23.important victory for Liverpool. Good win for Jurgen Klopp. It was a
:36:24. > :36:30.big win against a big team, a tall team and how I thought in a good
:36:31. > :36:40.game, we played well. The first half was a little too static. But we
:36:41. > :36:43.needed to adapt. You defended well. We worked hard and in the week and
:36:44. > :36:49.it's nice when you work on something during the week and it pays off and
:36:50. > :36:55.we worked on our set piece as well. Chadli's had a great chance which he
:36:56. > :36:59.should score. Al should score. Philips should score. None of them
:37:00. > :37:02.from set plays. You worked on set piece chances, how important is
:37:03. > :37:09.people recognise you for what you are? I don't care! I know what I'm
:37:10. > :37:13.doing. And the club knows what I'm doing and the people around the club
:37:14. > :37:17.know. People want to see it differently, perception is a
:37:18. > :37:24.wonderful thing that some of the times isn't correct. Today we only
:37:25. > :37:29.could get 66 points. It peoples perfect. Next week is the best we
:37:30. > :37:34.try to get 69. If we do what we have to do, yeah, then we will be...
:37:35. > :37:43.Where we want to be. Do you care what I think after all these years?
:37:44. > :37:50.Of course I do, sweetie! Rush goalie at the end was entertaining, the
:37:51. > :37:55.rest was a battle. It was ant classic, the way Tony Pulis had his
:37:56. > :38:00.team set up, made it difficult. But you don't want to make life easy for
:38:01. > :38:06.Liverpool. The way Liverpool like to play between the lines, at times it
:38:07. > :38:11.a back six. But Liverpool got the job done. Probably in a way they
:38:12. > :38:17.didn't expect. If I was to look back over the season, I think pundits
:38:18. > :38:22.have picked out Coutinho, Lallana and Mane to analyse with Liverpool.
:38:23. > :38:27.Not that Firmino goes under the radar, but maybe he doesn't get the
:38:28. > :38:31.credit he deserves. For me, in the last couple weeks he has stepped up
:38:32. > :38:36.to the plate. What I like about him, he has a fantastic work ethic. But
:38:37. > :38:40.he loves running in behind. Helps not the quickest -- he is not the
:38:41. > :38:46.quickest in the world, but you don't have to be to know where the space
:38:47. > :38:53.is. His end product is good. He is very calm in the final third. A lot
:38:54. > :38:59.of people would expect that from a forward player for Liverpool. But it
:39:00. > :39:04.is easier said than done. Today he played in a different role on the
:39:05. > :39:11.right. He wanders all over and he is hard to pick up. That is great
:39:12. > :39:14.anticipation. He has got that awareness and ability with the
:39:15. > :39:19.others up there to rotate his position. He is always finding
:39:20. > :39:23.space. Doesn't get it this time. Here, part of his game, what I
:39:24. > :39:26.didn't think he had, his passing was exceptional today. And speaking to
:39:27. > :39:32.people who go to more games than me at Liverpool, this is unluckily, he
:39:33. > :39:39.is a yard offside, they have been impressed, because when he first
:39:40. > :39:44.came, I wasn't convinced. This move - confidence, flick around the
:39:45. > :39:50.outside, where's the space, can I pick somebody out, a scoop to the
:39:51. > :39:55.back and Milner should make the game comfortable. He has impressed me in
:39:56. > :40:01.the last few months. If I asked you what is his position, would you be
:40:02. > :40:07.able to give one or, or does that even matter? No, doesn't matter. I
:40:08. > :40:12.don't think you need to be nailed down to one position now. I think
:40:13. > :40:17.it's going to benefit him playing week in week out, the fact he can
:40:18. > :40:21.play all over the front. If I was to go through the analysis of Liverpool
:40:22. > :40:25.this year, as well as players that get praised, where Liverpool have
:40:26. > :40:30.been criticised is either goalkeeper or how they have defended. The game
:40:31. > :40:34.was right in the balance. Liverpool was not exactly dominating the game.
:40:35. > :40:40.West Brom were defending very well. But it is these moments here where
:40:41. > :40:48.they, as James Milner said, Firmino gets a touch on that, Pulis said
:40:49. > :40:51.Chadli should put it away. But look how quick they get out of the box.
:40:52. > :40:56.That is something they wanted to work on, make it difficult for West
:40:57. > :41:01.Brom to get that second phase. Matip kept an eye on his striker. A simple
:41:02. > :41:08.clearance, but just job well done in a game where it was important nay
:41:09. > :41:13.got their o' e-- they got their three points and when West Brom got
:41:14. > :41:19.through, it wasn't all set piece, Mignolet stood tall and for a keeper
:41:20. > :41:24.who got criticised, that is two games where he has made huge saves.
:41:25. > :41:30.Six points you're talking. He has bounced back. Are they the strongest
:41:31. > :41:35.central defence, with Matip and Lovren? I think so. It doesn't half
:41:36. > :41:38.make a difference when they play regularly. The fact that James
:41:39. > :41:42.Milner said they have been working on it all week means they know they
:41:43. > :41:47.have that problem. I still expect Liverpool to try and strengthen in
:41:48. > :41:52.that area. West Brom are on a wobble, only four points from the
:41:53. > :42:02.last 21 available and famed to -- famed to score in -- failed to score
:42:03. > :42:08.in four. Tony Pulis said it is as good as it gets for them. How could
:42:09. > :42:13.they go further? The problem that all managers have now and owners is
:42:14. > :42:18.Leicester have rewritten the book on what is possible. If you look at the
:42:19. > :42:23.teams above them, they're clubs with serious aspirations to been
:42:24. > :42:27.Champions League sides. They're top of the mini-division they're in. I
:42:28. > :42:32.think Pulis has been criticised, when his teams hit 40 points, they
:42:33. > :42:36.tend to struggle after that. The new owners of the club have faith in
:42:37. > :42:39.him. There is every chance that he will get an extension to his
:42:40. > :42:45.contract in the summer. It people like he has won the fans over. He
:42:46. > :42:49.has said the style of football he accused of playing is because he
:42:50. > :42:53.works with the resources he has and with the perhaps a bigger budget he
:42:54. > :42:57.could do something different. He was right, their best chances didn't
:42:58. > :43:02.come from set pieces, they created them in open play. There have been
:43:03. > :43:08.games where they have scored a good number of goals and played good
:43:09. > :43:10.football. He more than deserves a new contract. Some of criticism he
:43:11. > :43:33.gets is unfair. Silva with a free herd. Kompany
:43:34. > :43:38.scores. -- free header. Manchester City's captain heads them in front
:43:39. > :43:43.and the frustration of his season comes coarsing out in his
:43:44. > :43:48.celebration. Southampton 0, Manchester City 1 and there could
:43:49. > :43:49.barely be a more popular scorer for the visitors than one Vincent
:43:50. > :44:02.Kompany. De Bruyne's away. Sane is to his
:44:03. > :44:07.left. Here he is. Brilliant, brilliant breakaway goal. De Bruyne
:44:08. > :44:12.started it. And then set up Sane to finish it. Counterattacks are rarely
:44:13. > :44:34.quicker or more deadly than that. Never is. De Bruyne. Aguero! 3-0.
:44:35. > :44:41.Scoring made simple. Manchester City get the third. Quite harsh on
:44:42. > :44:51.Southampton, they played their part, but just so sharp, Man City.
:44:52. > :45:09.Slept on by Valencia. What a chance! Mark Clattenburg says no, another
:45:10. > :45:21.from the captain. Scruffy goal but well over the line. Have done to!
:45:22. > :45:31.Hendrix, Schneiderlin is after him. It runs agonisingly away. Ridiculous
:45:32. > :45:35.challenge from Joel Robles. That is going away. Absolutely stupid from
:45:36. > :45:43.the goalkeeper. Sam Vokes will take the penalty. To quickly draw them
:45:44. > :45:53.level, and he can. Well taken by the Welsh international. Joey Barton,
:45:54. > :46:03.Valencia, here is Lukaku. Mirallas for stride. Even he cannot shoot
:46:04. > :46:12.from there. That was deflected and it is in! Everton have the
:46:13. > :46:20.laid-back. Mirallas to Berkeley, who wriggled himself into a shooting
:46:21. > :46:31.position. That has gone down as an own goal. Lukaku. And Lukaku
:46:32. > :46:36.finishes as he does! He had the power and the boys. And he might
:46:37. > :46:55.just have wrapped things up for Everton. 3-1. To the near post.
:46:56. > :46:59.Dembele! Spurs ahead, it has been coming since kick-off. Moussa
:47:00. > :47:12.Dembele's first goal since November 20 15. Song. Around the outside.
:47:13. > :47:19.2-0. Giving away cheaply by Bournemouth. They went through the
:47:20. > :47:29.gears. Fairly tight angle. Dele Alli. Kane, great strength. He will
:47:30. > :47:36.make it three. Right at the start of the second half. Strength and
:47:37. > :47:43.persistence. Time and space to crack that way. Spurs have three and three
:47:44. > :47:50.points better. To the gap to Chelsea at the top, that Rugby four. That
:47:51. > :48:01.was good vision. Davis joining in. He gets it in! The icing on the
:48:02. > :48:08.kick! Than two minutes into stoppage time, it has been a long wait for
:48:09. > :48:12.him, the goal in the Premier League from free play. Thrilling
:48:13. > :48:18.performance. Bournemouth are very well beaten side from the very start
:48:19. > :48:23.through to the very end. The gap is down to four, the remaining fixtures
:48:24. > :48:32.for Spurs, and more difficult run-in than Chelsea, will last your help?
:48:33. > :48:36.Definitely. Mentally, Radzi Pochettino is already getting signs
:48:37. > :48:42.he is happier with the team and the way they are handling the situation.
:48:43. > :48:48.And they are chasing. That helps. Last year the Leicester situation...
:48:49. > :48:53.Who they are chasing? You're expecting Chelsea to win. Different
:48:54. > :48:59.scenario, last year that Leicester would stumble and Spurs should catch
:49:00. > :49:03.them. That along with the fact that they were playing Sunday and
:49:04. > :49:10.Leicester on Saturday, that is what led to Spurs ultimate downfall.
:49:11. > :49:14.Looking at them right now, they are the best in the league. Unbelievable
:49:15. > :49:24.form. Those games coming up are very tough. What did you look for one
:49:25. > :49:31.run-in as a manager? -- on the run in. While we were playing, to be
:49:32. > :49:38.honest! Calmness, you don't want panic, you might have an unlucky
:49:39. > :49:42.day. Did you want mind games? I wasn't really bothered by that
:49:43. > :49:50.stuff, I just focused on myself but the manager who is normally very
:49:51. > :49:54.calm and when you play, if you manage on the touchline and go mad,
:49:55. > :49:59.at every decision, I think that brings the panic on, it did for me.
:50:00. > :50:07.Then he is calm and relaxed, OK, the team generally do better, we did. It
:50:08. > :50:11.is a different competition, and it is important to get to the FA Cup
:50:12. > :50:16.Final but could the semifinal have a bearing on the title? Gas, it will
:50:17. > :50:21.have an effect on the way Chelsea feel about themselves, if they are
:50:22. > :50:25.beaten again and Pochettino is showing his teeth a little, some of
:50:26. > :50:30.the things he said in the papers, talking about how he has built a
:50:31. > :50:35.team the right way and that is designed to stick in the minds at
:50:36. > :50:42.Chelsea and Man City and places like that. Chelsea against birds is live
:50:43. > :50:50.on the BBC next Saturday. -- against Spurs. We have made it this far,
:50:51. > :50:56.don't leave it a chance, leave it all on the pitch, no holding back,
:50:57. > :50:59.no half measures. No guts, no glory. The FA Cup semifinals, Chelsea
:51:00. > :51:03.against Tottenham live on BBC One. Elsewhere, there are highlights
:51:04. > :51:06.from the World Snooker Championship 5 Live has commentary on the second
:51:07. > :51:10.leg of Leicester's Champions League And the Premier League Show is back
:51:11. > :51:15.on BBC Two on Thursday evening. 2 Good, 2 Bad still to come,
:51:16. > :51:36.after the rest of yesterday's goals. Chicory. Terrific ball. He waits for
:51:37. > :51:42.the pass. Arnautovic at the opening goal for Stoke City. He only has
:51:43. > :51:54.eyes for the goal, terrific start for the home side. Mitrovic. Clucas,
:51:55. > :52:06.just needed that finishing cross. McGuire! 1-1. And he gives Hull a
:52:07. > :52:12.vital lifeline. Charlie Adam is withdrawn, as side of -- as is Saido
:52:13. > :52:20.Berahino. On comes Walters and Peter Crouch. Walters takes it nicely.
:52:21. > :52:28.Crouch in the middle, towards Peter Crouch! The double substitution from
:52:29. > :52:34.Mark Hughes works to absolute perfection, Jon Walters the
:52:35. > :52:48.provider, Peter Crouch the finisher. Picked up by Walters.
:52:49. > :52:59.What an outstanding goal! From Shaqiri. That might secure all three
:53:00. > :53:19.points for Stoke City. What an opportunity for Watford and
:53:20. > :53:27.he finally has got that in! Etienne Capoue and Watford take the lead. I
:53:28. > :53:33.don't think Watford were expecting a gift wrapped goal just like that.
:53:34. > :53:36.And the final whistle. Watford can celebrate another year in the
:53:37. > :53:41.Premier League two, but what about Swansea? Still stuck in the bottom
:53:42. > :53:46.three and they cannot play better than that there is every chance they
:53:47. > :53:50.will stay there. This next game is a must win, stuck at home, five games
:53:51. > :54:00.to go, the biggest game the club has had in years.
:54:01. > :54:10.Carroll does get to it and he meets it. And the opening goal is scored
:54:11. > :54:15.by Ayew, West Ham take the lead within five minutes, that was a
:54:16. > :54:24.misfit, I think he was going for the volley directly and Ayew strokes
:54:25. > :54:40.that into the net. Clever corner! Street in! Sunderland finally scorer
:54:41. > :54:44.in the most usual circumstances. Khaziri whipping that end.
:54:45. > :54:53.Sunderland eye level and they are fighting. The livery is dangerous
:54:54. > :54:59.and it has gone on. Colin is helping that on the way into the far post.
:55:00. > :55:13.-- redelivery. Gibson. Outcomes Randolph. And Sunderland have hope.
:55:14. > :55:17.Randolph wondered if he had been fouled, they finish from Borini is
:55:18. > :55:25.excellent and a stoppage time approaches, it is 2-2 at the Stadium
:55:26. > :55:32.of Light. LSI is caught. And that will be ten men from West Ham.
:55:33. > :55:47.The long throw. It has gone in! Robert Huth puts Leicester in front.
:55:48. > :55:55.Easy as you like for the foxes. Townsend's corner, Christian Benteke
:55:56. > :56:04.rising. Zaha against Mahrez, Jamie Vardy is away. It comes inside. And
:56:05. > :56:09.he scores brilliantly! Really good Leicester goal on the counter.
:56:10. > :56:20.Crystal Palace nil, Leicester City two. Ward, this is Zaha. Looking for
:56:21. > :56:25.an immediate response. It will break for Jeffrey Schlupp. Deflected! And
:56:26. > :56:37.that is in! And Palace have the response. Game on. Townsend. The
:56:38. > :56:46.delivery is not bad. Christian Benteke! Having got into that
:56:47. > :56:54.position, the Belgian was never going to miss. Here is a Premier
:56:55. > :56:59.League table, the lead at the top at Chelsea is cut to just four points.
:57:00. > :57:02.Liverpool in third and Man United climb above Everton to reclaim fifth
:57:03. > :57:11.place. The bottom three stays the same. Middlesbrough take on Arsenal
:57:12. > :57:16.on Monday night. Time for too good to bad and you have an allowed
:57:17. > :57:26.Euler, them live from the north-east, who alerted us to the
