:00:50. > :01:03.COMMENTARY MONTAGE: The race for the top four is well and truly on.
:01:04. > :01:11.How about this for a finish from Sergio Aguero? Liverpool in the
:01:12. > :01:34.driving seat now. Mkhitaryan, fabulous goal.
:01:35. > :01:38.Three games on the way, featuring four of the top seven,
:01:39. > :01:40.as the race for Champions League qualification intensifies.
:01:41. > :01:42.Plus Saturday's goals and 2 Good 2 Bad.
:01:43. > :01:44.Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy are with me.
:01:45. > :01:48.Manchester City facing a Liverpool side just a point
:01:49. > :02:07.COMMENTATOR: The Etihad positively pounding, crackling, for what, seen
:02:08. > :02:11.through the prism of Monaco, just might be the biggest game of Pep
:02:12. > :02:15.Guardiola's Manchester City career so far. City have lost their last
:02:16. > :02:20.four league games against Liverpool but won the League Cup at Jurgen
:02:21. > :02:25.Klopp's expense one year ago. Two changes from the Champions League
:02:26. > :02:30.defeat with Sagna and Kolarov replaced by Yaya Toure and Otamendi.
:02:31. > :02:35.Fernandinho playing at right back. This is Liverpool's 11th of 12 games
:02:36. > :02:39.against the current top seven this season, and they are unbeaten so
:02:40. > :02:42.far. Firmino is fit after a groin injury and back in the side. Dejan
:02:43. > :03:04.Lovren is also fit but on the bench. No foul from Raheem Sterling. De
:03:05. > :03:08.Bruyne, he has been everywhere in the first 14 minutes of the game,
:03:09. > :03:12.the Belgian. Brilliant ball from Silva. Wijnaldum struggling.
:03:13. > :03:31.Manchester City's throw. Fernandinho. Oh. Leroy Sane will
:03:32. > :03:34.keep it in. Aguero felt he was fouled. Liverpool, every sinew of
:03:35. > :03:44.their defensive strength is being tested here. Matip, certainly seems
:03:45. > :03:50.to only have thoughts for inbreeding Sergio Aguero rather than
:03:51. > :03:58.intercepting the ball. -- for impeding Sergio Aguero.
:03:59. > :04:03.Raheem Sterling. Sane steaming to the left-hand side. Sterling finds
:04:04. > :04:12.him and is going into the box for the return. Mignolet with his legs.
:04:13. > :04:18.David Silva! Code and maybe should have been Manchester City's first
:04:19. > :04:28.goal. Great break. Beautifully played from Sterling to Leroy Sane.
:04:29. > :04:33.Inviting for David Silva. And the little Spaniard turns away feeling
:04:34. > :04:38.he should have hit the target. 20 minutes played and it feels like
:04:39. > :04:44.Liverpool have been savaged in that first 20 minutes.
:04:45. > :04:51.Mane chases with Otamendi, and he's quicker than Otamendi. Mane in on
:04:52. > :04:56.goal and he couldn't get a shot away. Claiming he was fouled, Sadio
:04:57. > :05:06.Mane. He raced away from Otamendi, who was never going to catch him.
:05:07. > :05:12.Caballero came out. Did Otamendi foul Mane? As Mane looks to get the
:05:13. > :05:16.shot away, I think his right foot hit the back of Otamendi's calf.
:05:17. > :05:23.Don't think you can give a penalty for that. Jurgen Klopp might be
:05:24. > :05:24.saying, how is that not a penalty, but I actually think it's a good
:05:25. > :05:31.decision. Expertly controlled by Raheem
:05:32. > :05:50.Sterling on his right thigh. Clever ball from De Bruyne are to
:05:51. > :06:01.David Silva. Tap in, surely! Fernandinho is wide! Well, Raheem
:06:02. > :06:06.Sterling is in the six yard box, saying, surely I was fouled. Looked
:06:07. > :06:15.a certain goal. And Liverpool counter with Firmino. Good save from
:06:16. > :06:21.Caballero. Liverpool nearly nick the lead here. It's actually the first
:06:22. > :06:27.attempt on target in the game for either team. Roberto Firmino. Now
:06:28. > :06:31.Liverpool have a corner. Putting as much pressure as they can on Willy
:06:32. > :06:39.Caballero. In goes the corner kick with real pace. Not a great fist
:06:40. > :06:44.out. Lallana! Good save. The punch was unconvincing. Lallana hit
:06:45. > :06:58.sweetly, but the save was very smart again from Caballero. How is it 0-0?
:06:59. > :07:08.Pleasing build-up from Liverpool. Chants! Really important block by
:07:09. > :07:11.John Stones to deny Sadio Mane. Excellent stuff from the City
:07:12. > :07:14.centre-half. Well worked by Liverpool. Mane with real space but
:07:15. > :07:39.not able to evade John Stones. That's nice. Firmino is onside.
:07:40. > :07:44.Clichy with the challenge and it's a penalty to Liverpool. Michael Oliver
:07:45. > :07:53.wants to talk to Gael Clichy. It's going to be a yellow card. The slip
:07:54. > :07:58.was all-important, and Clichy, in trying to make up ground, lunges
:07:59. > :08:04.with a high foot that was only ever likely to result in one thing. James
:08:05. > :08:11.Milner, once of Manchester City, is going to take it. Six out of six
:08:12. > :08:17.from the spot so far this season for Milner. And Caballero is beaten this
:08:18. > :08:22.time. The Wembley hero could do nothing from 12 yards for City here.
:08:23. > :08:30.Liverpool have the lead at the Etihad, and its James Milner's 50th
:08:31. > :08:34.career league goal in his 450th career league game. More
:08:35. > :08:41.importantly, its Manchester City 0- one Liverpool.
:08:42. > :08:49.Emre Can making the run to make it four in attack. Lovely ball.
:08:50. > :08:55.Firmino! Caballero with a lovely save. Could be a huge save on Willy
:08:56. > :09:02.Caballero. Great play from Coutinho. That ball is perfect. And Caballero
:09:03. > :09:20.won it. The stakes are high, the tension is higher.
:09:21. > :09:26.Fernandinho floated beautifully to De Bruyne. Aguero is there! The
:09:27. > :09:34.first chance of the game he has had, and Aguero takes it. 1-1. Scalpel
:09:35. > :09:39.sharp. Aguero for Manchester City, who are level with more than 20
:09:40. > :09:47.minutes to play. Lovely ball. The cross is a dream. Aguero's finish is
:09:48. > :09:51.what you would expect. Firm, accurate, decisive. 1-1. All to play
:09:52. > :10:02.for again. Now Coutinho is wriggling free.
:10:03. > :10:09.Otamendi did well. Good ball, going spare. Lallana was blocked. Intended
:10:10. > :10:16.for Coutinho. Firmino's shot, side netting. Liverpool almost got
:10:17. > :10:18.themselves in front again. Might have clipped the outside of the
:10:19. > :10:30.post. Aguero getting away from Clyne. Sane
:10:31. > :10:35.ahead of him. Lovely backheel. Aguero has lost his footing. De
:10:36. > :10:42.Bruyne hits the post. Massive let off for Liverpool. What an
:10:43. > :10:49.opportunity this was for Manchester City to get themselves in front.
:10:50. > :10:56.Aguero, just at the crucial moment, and then De Bruyne smacks the post.
:10:57. > :11:06.Good challenge by Sagna, but he is Lallana. At full pelt. Firmino to
:11:07. > :11:12.his left. He uses him. Wijnaldum for Liverpool. Firmino for Liverpool.
:11:13. > :11:20.Lallana! He's missed it completely! He was on the side. Incredible. This
:11:21. > :11:29.has been an extraordinary game. -- he was onside. How there has only
:11:30. > :11:31.been two goals, I don't know. Lallana somehow fails to convert.
:11:32. > :11:51.That's extraordinary. David Silva clips it over the top
:11:52. > :11:58.brilliantly for Sterling. Well, another huge City appeal. Absolutely
:11:59. > :12:07.brilliant from David Silva. Was Sterling caught? You feel this game
:12:08. > :12:11.warrants a huge ending. Not sure either team deserved to lose it.
:12:12. > :12:18.Liverpool suddenly on a huge counterattack. Firmino on the side.
:12:19. > :12:22.Lallana is square and Firmino fires wide. Lallana in the middle can't
:12:23. > :12:29.believe he wasn't used. Look at this counterattack. This is a crazy
:12:30. > :12:36.ending to a wonderful game. End to end, so open.
:12:37. > :12:49.Here comes De Bruyne. Milner couldn't reach it. Knocked up
:12:50. > :12:59.dangerously. Aguero! The man they would want on the Champs blazes it
:13:00. > :13:04.over the crossbar. -- on the chance. Guardiola can't believe it, and
:13:05. > :13:07.neither can the man himself. A huge encounter between these sides.
:13:08. > :13:12.Michael Oliver blows his whistle and it finishes all swear with a huge
:13:13. > :13:18.embrace between the two managers. If it had been 4-4 no one would have
:13:19. > :13:22.been surprised, so many opportunities were made and missed.
:13:23. > :13:32.But it finishes Manchester City 1-1 Liverpool. It's one of those days
:13:33. > :13:37.where I am proud the most. I had not a long career, a medium career, ten
:13:38. > :13:42.years as a manager, and never... It's one of the most special days of
:13:43. > :13:46.my life. After Tuesday, Wednesday was so tough for us. How we
:13:47. > :13:49.recovered today and with this mentality to play and attack and
:13:50. > :13:58.attack. Couldn't attack more often because Liverpool is a top team.
:13:59. > :14:03.Between 15 and six T5 could have decided the game and we didn't. That
:14:04. > :14:11.may be our fault, but how can we speak today about faults and
:14:12. > :14:13.mistakes. -- between 50 and 65. It's a success to get a point at City,
:14:14. > :14:25.and to play like this. It was a shame he did not shoot and
:14:26. > :14:29.go, because it was a goal, but it was an unlucky moment in the game,
:14:30. > :14:35.but they also missed two big chances at the end. It is a fair result, I
:14:36. > :14:44.think. We are both very offensive minded teams, so obviously chances
:14:45. > :14:47.have been created and in the end it's just a little thing if it is in
:14:48. > :14:56.or out, and today it's just two goals. The Mane situation, it was a
:14:57. > :15:00.red card and penalty, so it was good to see that we don't have the
:15:01. > :15:03.situations and then we get the penalty and maybe the red card in a
:15:04. > :15:08.game like this, that would have killed us and them. My advice to the
:15:09. > :15:13.referees is that they have to speak to each other. They have do sit at
:15:14. > :15:19.the table, review and talk. They have to talk, urgently to make this
:15:20. > :15:23.better. We will come to the incidents and the refereeing in a
:15:24. > :15:27.moment, but that was brilliant entertainment first and foremost. It
:15:28. > :15:30.was an incredible football match. So much quality in attacking areas. The
:15:31. > :15:36.contrast of good and bad, some of the defending and decision-making...
:15:37. > :15:41.But that all added to it. It did and we all enjoyed it. On chances, Man
:15:42. > :15:47.City edged it, the Liverpool had great spells in the game as well and
:15:48. > :15:53.both teams will feel can sell with the point -- content. The pace and
:15:54. > :15:56.intensity and the end to end chances are the teams, and decisions, it was
:15:57. > :16:02.a very, very difficult game to referee. He made some big calls and
:16:03. > :16:09.he got a lot of them right but there was one big call where we think he
:16:10. > :16:16.got it wrong. But not this one. Not this one. Mane and Otamendi. He does
:16:17. > :16:24.not go to tackle him and he does not alter his line, and Mane kicks the
:16:25. > :16:28.back of Otamendi's calve. There is no deliberate foul or attempt to get
:16:29. > :16:33.the ball from Otamendi, so I think he gets it right and I don't think
:16:34. > :16:38.it's a penalty. Would you agree? Yes, completely. I think it was
:16:39. > :16:44.accidental. The next one, Milner and Sterling. This is the one where Man
:16:45. > :16:48.City will feel aggrieved because sometimes they are 50/ 50. It's hard
:16:49. > :16:53.at this speed but I thought when he missed the chance he must have been
:16:54. > :16:56.fouled, but how can you miss from two yards? Aguero gets fouled first,
:16:57. > :17:02.and I understand the referee not seeing that. This is the angle.
:17:03. > :17:09.Milner's right foot there on Sterling's he'll. He is probably
:17:10. > :17:13.trying to get the ball, but it's a definite penalty. As an official,
:17:14. > :17:18.you would ask, Sterling will not miss from there unless he is being
:17:19. > :17:22.clattered? I wasn't sure. The pace of the game that it was going out, I
:17:23. > :17:26.wasn't sure, so I can understand why the referee didn't give it. He may
:17:27. > :17:31.have thought Milner had nicked the ball away. But looking at the
:17:32. > :17:34.replay, it goes to show, not that we need reminding, what an incredibly
:17:35. > :17:39.tough job the referees have got. The assistant should have done better.
:17:40. > :17:45.And the one that was given? I thought it was a penalty. Poor
:17:46. > :17:48.defending. To actually get back and jumping and lunged at him, I didn't
:17:49. > :17:54.think there was any need. There's still a lot to do their four
:17:55. > :17:58.Firmino. I know he touches the ball but he fouls him after that. I think
:17:59. > :18:03.that was the correct the decision and the penalty. A good decision and
:18:04. > :18:07.a brave one. A good penalty as well. A good decision because he got stick
:18:08. > :18:11.for not giving the other one. I think the referee deserves credit he
:18:12. > :18:17.generally had a good game. You could pick out various players, certainly
:18:18. > :18:22.from a Man City perspective. Pep Guardiola praised John Stones. It's
:18:23. > :18:29.worth staying June for the quote. David Silva got a lot of praise --
:18:30. > :18:33.staying June. Did Guardiola play a different role in that part of the
:18:34. > :18:37.game? He played a different role in the second half of the game against
:18:38. > :18:42.Monaco and he's not having the best of times further forward. He has a
:18:43. > :18:47.great array of passing. Even when he's not playing well, he tries to
:18:48. > :18:50.make things happen. He's positive and creative. He gets in areas and
:18:51. > :18:56.makes the right decision more often than not. This is a super pass. This
:18:57. > :19:03.is the incident we have talked about. In the second half, he
:19:04. > :19:08.swapped positions with sterling -- Sterling. That would have been a
:19:09. > :19:13.great ball if it was not for Simon Mignolet. He swaps positions with
:19:14. > :19:16.Sterling in the second half and the manager had obviously told them to.
:19:17. > :19:21.They tried playing through the middle and they could not get
:19:22. > :19:27.through. Maybe needs a bit more time on the ball to play crosses and
:19:28. > :19:30.passes like this. When you are a striker, it doesn't get better than
:19:31. > :19:34.that. I thought it was an excellent decision to swap them around because
:19:35. > :19:38.Sterling found himself in position plenty of times but his delivery was
:19:39. > :19:41.so poor. Once De Bruyne went on to the right, the ball was made for
:19:42. > :19:46.somebody to get onto the end of it and Aguero did. You can do all the
:19:47. > :19:50.analysis about how to beat pressing and your triangles and squiggles,
:19:51. > :19:55.but sometimes it's just quite nice to have a look at all the chances
:19:56. > :19:59.that were there in the game. I know Danny has mentioned De Bruyne, but
:20:00. > :20:06.John Stones was excellent. Wijnaldum was very good Liverpool. But it was
:20:07. > :20:13.incredible how open the game was -- for Liverpool. It was great on the
:20:14. > :20:18.EIA. -- on the RA. Not a lot of protection going on in front of the
:20:19. > :20:21.defenders as well. It was basically going and attacking, then we will
:20:22. > :20:29.have one and it was just a great game to watch. It was like a cup tie
:20:30. > :20:33.in many ways. Why is anyone not happy with the point? Especially
:20:34. > :20:36.Liverpool, away from home to Manchester City but not this
:20:37. > :20:42.Liverpool, they want to go and win it. He played well, Lallana and he
:20:43. > :20:49.has gone on her sting run to get their, so I can't help him with
:20:50. > :20:54.that. There's always a positive. They kept going. Liverpool at one
:20:55. > :21:02.end. City came back to them. A beautiful ball there into Sterling,
:21:03. > :21:05.another chance. After the game Pep Guardiola said we have clear chances
:21:06. > :21:08.and we don't score goals which is why we cannot compete with the top
:21:09. > :21:13.teams. I thought many times what I can do to help my players score but
:21:14. > :21:17.it's not easy. He spoke about them not taking chances after they went
:21:18. > :21:19.out in the Champions League and he seems to be focusing on the
:21:20. > :21:26.attacking side of the game to criticise. That is how he believes
:21:27. > :21:30.in the game that you have to score a number of goals. I would also look
:21:31. > :21:33.defensively and one of the big reasons they went out the Champions
:21:34. > :21:37.League is that they conceded six goals over two legs and you don't
:21:38. > :21:42.really deserve to go through. Yes they have missed a lot of chances
:21:43. > :21:46.also. He seems to be making a concerted effort to focus on the
:21:47. > :21:49.attack are not on the defence and he praised the defence today. Here is
:21:50. > :21:55.the John Stones quote. John Stones has more personality than everybody
:21:56. > :21:59.here in this room, more balls than anybody and I love this kind of
:22:00. > :22:02.player. I love this kind of guy. It's not easy to play central
:22:03. > :22:07.defender with this manager, which is why I admire my defenders a lot.
:22:08. > :22:13.First of all, that means that John Stones's anatomy is trending on
:22:14. > :22:17.Twitter, but he's also praising the defence and focusing the attention
:22:18. > :22:21.on the attack. I have been critical of John Stones this year but he was
:22:22. > :22:27.superb today. Some of the last-ditch tackles he made were superb. I think
:22:28. > :22:30.he's right and I'm glad he said it. People criticising the defenders at
:22:31. > :22:34.Man City saying they would look better in a definite passion
:22:35. > :22:38.different technical setup but I also think the strikers need to take
:22:39. > :22:42.responsibility for the chances they have missed, because they are making
:22:43. > :22:50.them. How many goals as Aguero got the season 25? Not bad. He is not
:22:51. > :22:53.singling him out, he's looking at it as a collective. Aguero has got 25
:22:54. > :22:56.goals. I would be delighted with that.
:22:57. > :22:58.Relegation-threatened Middlesbrough welcome Manchester United
:22:59. > :23:00.to the Riverside, just three days after sacking Aitor Karanka.
:23:01. > :23:08.It all went wrong for Karanka since these two met on New Year's Eve.
:23:09. > :23:14.Desperate times for Middlesbrough. Two goals in just over a minute.
:23:15. > :23:22.That has turned around to Manchester United. It is off Clayton's me, and
:23:23. > :23:26.Middlesbrough have lost another one. Suddenly they are nervously looking
:23:27. > :23:31.over their shoulder. Middlesbrough with just four victories so far this
:23:32. > :23:34.season. The biggest frustration for the Middlesbrough fans is the way
:23:35. > :23:41.they play. They've scored only three goals in eight Premier League games.
:23:42. > :23:43.Van Aanholt has put it in. The leaves Middlesbrough in Barbour and
:23:44. > :23:51.problems for Karanka and Middlesbrough. -- in bother. That is
:23:52. > :23:57.brilliant. Middlesbrough are up against it now. Is time running out
:23:58. > :24:05.for Aitor Karanka? The bell has told. So, step forward Steve Agnew
:24:06. > :24:10.to try and emulate the job done so far by Craig Shakespeare at
:24:11. > :24:13.Leicester. His selection is telling with Stewart Downing back on the
:24:14. > :24:17.side after being cast out by Karanka for the last two games. Gaston Revol
:24:18. > :24:20.era 's and Alvaro Negredo and Victor Valdes return -- Gaston Revol era
:24:21. > :24:28.is. For Manchester United, seven changes
:24:29. > :24:32.from Thursday night with Jose Mourinho raging at a fixture
:24:33. > :24:37.schedule on Monday night, Thursday night and Sunday lunchtime. Only
:24:38. > :24:40.Eric Bailly, Chris Smalling and Valencia staying. Wayne Rooney is
:24:41. > :24:50.out injured. Paul Pogba has a hamstring strain. Parreira and
:24:51. > :24:56.Ibrahimovic are suspended. -- Herrera. Here is Bernardo and Marcus
:24:57. > :24:59.Rashford has beaten him. Super save by Victor Valdes. Brilliant burst of
:25:00. > :25:05.pace by Rashford and that is a warning for Bernardo Espinosa. What
:25:06. > :25:06.a good first save of the match for the Middlesbrough keeper to keep out
:25:07. > :25:27.Marcus Rashford. Gibson. -- Fabio with a move to room into,
:25:28. > :25:37.at pace. Leadbetter. Michael Carrick is after him. Ramirez. A shooting
:25:38. > :25:45.chance, and beaten behind by De Gea. He got a clear sight of it. Ramirez
:25:46. > :25:50.got a good hold of it. A good two-handed stop by David de Gea. In
:25:51. > :25:54.his third spell coaching at Middlesbrough. He played for

:26:16. > :26:21.across, super save, and again. Brilliant by Victor Valdes. Here is
:26:22. > :26:28.Carrick. That one does not need saving. Victor Valdes playing like a
:26:29. > :26:32.man with a point to prove against the club that never really gave him
:26:33. > :26:41.a shot. He has kept the score at 0-0. Jose Mourinho has said this
:26:42. > :26:44.week that a great result, and in the immediate aftermath of against FC
:26:45. > :26:49.roster of said probably we will lose the game on Sunday. An honest
:26:50. > :26:57.opinion or more mind games? Or a message meant for somebody else?

:27:16. > :27:19.front. They had been threatening. The big Belgian with his Premier
:27:20. > :27:24.League goal of the season. The cross from Ashley Young is a peach.
:27:25. > :27:29.Fellaini is onside. Victor Valdes Cambridge, maybe a mistake. Realise
:27:30. > :27:35.that the last would not make the ball -- came up for it. Still a fine
:27:36. > :27:36.headed finish from Fellaini. He had the narrowest gap to get that
:27:37. > :27:52.through. Towards Barragan. Barragan is there
:27:53. > :28:00.to beat him. Negredo. Smalling was in his way. Ramirez, to the room.
:28:01. > :28:05.Fabio. -- de Roon. Negredo goes for it. He cannot get his direction as
:28:06. > :28:10.well as Fellaini did at the other end. Steve Agnew likes the way his
:28:11. > :28:15.team are trying to fight back quickly.
:28:16. > :28:21.Manchester United in a good position from which to extend their 17 game
:28:22. > :28:29.unbeaten run in the Premier League. The last defeat, 23rd of October,
:28:30. > :28:35.4-0 at Chelsea. Lingard takes over. Three against three. Lingard has
:28:36. > :28:39.gone for goal, and what a goal. Rifled into the net by Jesse
:28:40. > :28:46.Lingard. Manchester United have breathing space. And just like
:28:47. > :28:51.Fellaini before him, Lingard has his first goal in the Premier League
:28:52. > :28:59.this season. That is how to hit them. No chance at all for a
:29:00. > :29:08.motionless Victor Valdes. Right to the roof. -- into the roof. He gets
:29:09. > :29:14.a chest pump and a fist pump. Not quite time for a smile yet. But Jose
:29:15. > :29:20.Mourinho's Manchester United are on their way to three points. Joe
:29:21. > :29:25.Jordan is sitting prominently on the front row of the Middlesbrough bench
:29:26. > :29:29.seats. The former Manchester United striker, of course, who has come to
:29:30. > :29:35.assist Steve Agnew. He got the call to, help and he had driven six hours
:29:36. > :29:40.later from his base in Bristol to get to Middlesbrough. Good ball in
:29:41. > :29:45.an Negredo's header is straight at De Gea. An excellent cross from
:29:46. > :29:49.Downing and Negredo, in front of Eric Bailly, did not catch it
:29:50. > :29:53.cleanly. Progress for Middlesbrough would be scoring a goal now. At the
:29:54. > :29:55.moment, they are looking at failing to score for the fifth Premier
:29:56. > :30:04.League game in a row. If that isn't rectified today, it
:30:05. > :30:07.has to be in two weeks' time away to Swansea and then away to Hull. They
:30:08. > :30:13.could do with the bucketload in those two games.
:30:14. > :30:21.Traore spins away from Fellaini. Traore goes on. Just over the head
:30:22. > :30:30.of Negredo. How many times has that happened? Negredo meets that from
:30:31. > :30:37.Downing. So does Jones for Manchester United. Incomes De Roon,
:30:38. > :30:40.and slotted in by Rudy Gestede. Middlesbrough's hopes are still
:30:41. > :30:47.alive in this game and doesn't Steve Agnew know it? A first Premier
:30:48. > :30:54.League goal for Boro for Rudy Gestede. Great committed display
:30:55. > :31:00.from Martin De Roon. Looked as though once Jones got it half way it
:31:01. > :31:06.might be it for Boro. But De Roon attacks Bailly, gets the better of
:31:07. > :31:10.him. Smalling off-balance and Gestede was in the right place to
:31:11. > :31:16.make it Middlesbrough 1-2 Manchester United.
:31:17. > :31:22.Traore eventually gets a free kick. He was fouled by Ashley Young at
:31:23. > :31:28.first, bounced up quickly, and the second tackle on him was a little
:31:29. > :31:34.too much. That was Michael Carrick. A Middlesbrough free kick. We are
:31:35. > :31:41.now moving into injury time at the end of the game. There are at least
:31:42. > :31:45.four more minutes to play. What's happened here? Gibson's angry,
:31:46. > :31:52.really angry with Eric Bailly. He's having to be kept away from another
:31:53. > :31:57.Manchester United player, maybe more than one. A lot of anger on both
:31:58. > :32:06.sides. Gestede and Bailly furious with one another. What has gone on?
:32:07. > :32:10.Here we go. A push from Gestede. He had his mouth right at the throat of
:32:11. > :32:17.Bailly. Eric Bailly reacts angrily, as you might expect him to. And now
:32:18. > :32:24.they are in direct combat again. In from Stewart Downing. Up went
:32:25. > :32:29.Smalling. Behind goes the ball for a Middlesbrough corner. This isn't
:32:30. > :32:37.done yet. This might mean another minute or so added onto the four.
:32:38. > :32:45.Over towards Bernardo. Bailly heads away. Valencia will get onto that.
:32:46. > :32:55.Can he get the ball over to Anthony Martial? No. Valdes, a slip from
:32:56. > :33:03.Valdes! A gift for Manchester United to seal the points. Antonio Valencia
:33:04. > :33:10.makes absolutely sure. And Jose Mourinho exits early, pumping the
:33:11. > :33:15.air. A horrible moment for Middlesbrough's chairman and an even
:33:16. > :33:20.worse one for his goalkeeper. He has made some superb saves in the early
:33:21. > :33:24.stages of this game. Might have been somewhat at fault for the first
:33:25. > :33:30.Manchester United goal. I'm afraid that's entirely down to him. Console
:33:31. > :33:39.in pats and words from his team-mates, but a simple slip has
:33:40. > :33:44.allowed Antonio Valencia in to score what is his first goal for over
:33:45. > :33:45.three years. Three goals for Manchester United, three points for
:33:46. > :33:57.Manchester United. I was really pleased, couldn't be
:33:58. > :34:01.more proud of the group of players and their attitude was excellent. To
:34:02. > :34:07.come back into the game at 2-1 shows how much spirit is in the group. On
:34:08. > :34:10.the balance of play I thought at 2-1 there was the possibility of an
:34:11. > :34:15.equaliser. Really pleased with them. We organised a team to come here and
:34:16. > :34:23.do what we did until the second goal. Defend well, don't concede. Be
:34:24. > :34:30.dangerous in the counterattack. Play with the fast boys in front. And at
:34:31. > :34:36.2-0 the game was the game we wanted. Our mistake was that we let them
:34:37. > :34:41.push and our defensive line, maybe fatigue, Smalling and Jones, maybe
:34:42. > :34:45.they let the game go to the box. We saw you get involved in a battle
:34:46. > :34:48.with Eric Bailly and the fewer the Manchester United players. Was that
:34:49. > :34:53.something wrong, has it been sorted out? It's sorted out. Sometimes on
:34:54. > :35:00.the pitch the atmosphere can get hot. But it's OK. I know him, and
:35:01. > :35:04.he's a good guy. We talked after the game and it's no problem.
:35:05. > :35:11.It was a long time coming. Nobody closed me down. Marcus went to the
:35:12. > :35:16.left and right. I thought I would take it on myself and it went in. I
:35:17. > :35:18.said to the players there that the games against Manchester United are
:35:19. > :35:22.not the ones to keep us in the Premier League. It's the games
:35:23. > :35:27.coming up. The confidence and belief they gain from that performance will
:35:28. > :35:31.take us to the next few games with lots of energy and spirit. STUDIO:
:35:32. > :35:36.They might have confidence and belief after that, but they need
:35:37. > :35:47.goals. They are the lowest scorers in the league. 20 goals. It's just
:35:48. > :35:50.not enough by a long chalk. This is one of the reasons why today, for
:35:51. > :35:53.the vast majority of the game today, Negredo was doing that. Facing up
:35:54. > :35:56.all the time. As a defender you can afford the defender to tackle you
:35:57. > :36:03.because you always have one behind. In that case it was Jones and
:36:04. > :36:08.Smalling. Leadbitter picks up his head, looking for a forward run, but
:36:09. > :36:12.there isn't any. For five midfielders in your own half.
:36:13. > :36:16.Negredo facing up again. Ten yards from the defenders. You need to turn
:36:17. > :36:21.the defenders and ask different questions of them and they are not
:36:22. > :36:25.doing that at all today. You have six or seven defenders for
:36:26. > :36:29.Manchester United, not asking enough questions from them. Yes, they are
:36:30. > :36:32.keeping possession, Middlesbrough, particularly in the first half, but
:36:33. > :36:37.they are doing nothing with it. Negredo at the top of the screen
:36:38. > :36:43.with his arms in the air, not given an option. It goes across, passing.
:36:44. > :36:47.He now goes towards the ball again. You have to do at times go the other
:36:48. > :36:53.way, turn and run towards the goal, just to ask for something different.
:36:54. > :36:58.A long ball up to him, no chance. Nobody within 30 yards. For the last
:36:59. > :37:03.20 minutes of the game it changed with Rudy Gestede and Traore brought
:37:04. > :37:08.on. You now have somebody on the pitch prepared to try to penetrate
:37:09. > :37:11.the back four or five. They are prepared to run at the defenders and
:37:12. > :37:16.ask different questions. They got away with it there, but once again
:37:17. > :37:21.he's trying to penetrate, trying to get through. Gets a ball into the
:37:22. > :37:27.box. They don't get the first, but they keep alive. The ball comes back
:37:28. > :37:31.into the box again. This is where the goal comes from. Headed down by
:37:32. > :37:36.Negredo. De Roon keeps it alive, winning it well. In the end Gestede
:37:37. > :37:40.has a tap in. But for 70 minutes they offered nothing, didn't ask
:37:41. > :37:44.questions of the Man United defence. That's why they don't score in off.
:37:45. > :37:50.Going forward for the rest of the season, have they got to be brave?
:37:51. > :37:54.I'm in play two upfront, play Traore wide, used his pace and be more
:37:55. > :37:59.attacking? He's got to be on the pitch. If you have to mix it up,
:38:00. > :38:03.Gestede is a big lad and you can play more long balls. Pretty
:38:04. > :38:07.possession will not get you points. They have to try something different
:38:08. > :38:15.because they do look really lightweight in front of goal.
:38:16. > :38:20.Probably play Gestede and Negredo as a last resort. Play Traore upfront.
:38:21. > :38:23.At least he offers. He can be frustrating at times. He should do
:38:24. > :38:28.better with the ball, but he gives them the option and a bit of pace.
:38:29. > :38:32.Certainly today they were desperately lacking. And they have
:38:33. > :38:37.spent money on strikers. And they are all very similar. They all like
:38:38. > :38:42.to come that way and play. Let's switch to how United attacked. They
:38:43. > :38:47.got behind Middlesbrough. Because Zlatan is missing, Rashford played
:38:48. > :38:51.through the middle. I'm a big fan of his. He was sensational when he
:38:52. > :38:56.first got into the team and showed such maturity. He gives you pace, he
:38:57. > :39:02.wants to run behind and get in the box and score. His finishing was off
:39:03. > :39:06.today. He hasn't played that many games for United this season, but
:39:07. > :39:12.he's also very calm. Doesn't thrash out, tries to pick somebody out. I
:39:13. > :39:16.like the way he and Lingard linkup. Both with good movement. He has
:39:17. > :39:20.confidence and maturity in a young lad you don't often see, especially
:39:21. > :39:25.at a club the size of United. He has things he needs to work on but he's
:39:26. > :39:27.always in there. Defenders were terrified of him every time he got
:39:28. > :39:32.the ball because they know the camera and passed them with or
:39:33. > :39:37.without the ball. Good performances from United. They had energy.
:39:38. > :39:42.Valencia was fantastic. Great ball from Lingard and the keeper does all
:39:43. > :39:45.right. A constant threat. It's a different dynamic. United have lots
:39:46. > :39:49.of options going forward, as they should with the money they have
:39:50. > :39:53.spent, but this young lad has through their youth system. Unlucky
:39:54. > :39:57.there, good awareness but it doesn't happen. He has a great future but he
:39:58. > :40:01.needs to play more minutes. I think he has a big future in the game. He
:40:02. > :40:06.will have to be patient. I liked the way he kept getting in today, he
:40:07. > :40:10.wasn't afraid. You can work on your finishing. He had a big chance
:40:11. > :40:13.against Chelsea in the cup game. He missed some chances today, but you
:40:14. > :40:18.can work on that. The time to worry is when you don't get chances.
:40:19. > :40:23.Mourinho said after game that goals will arrive for him. They will, but
:40:24. > :40:28.he will have to be patient. My slight concern for him is that I
:40:29. > :40:31.think Mourinho will sign one or two big hitters, Centre forward saw a
:40:32. > :40:38.number ten in the summer, which might in turn means he will have to
:40:39. > :40:43.play on the left again. -- centre forwards or a number ten. But he's
:40:44. > :40:48.only 19. He's at the right club. He will learn from the likes of
:40:49. > :40:52.Ibrahimovic and whoever he brings in in the summer. Given time, I think
:40:53. > :40:57.he will be a good player. If they bring in another big hitter this
:40:58. > :41:00.summer, and Ibrahimovic stays for another year, but then that big
:41:01. > :41:06.hitter is round for three or four years as well, is that acceptable
:41:07. > :41:13.for him to learn for another three or four years until he's 22 or 23?
:41:14. > :41:18.No. I can only go off what happened in the past. For example when
:41:19. > :41:24.Michael Owen came on that scene at Liverpool, he was a regular from 18
:41:25. > :41:27.or 19, definitely. As a striker you need at a certain point to play
:41:28. > :41:35.games to learn your trade. You can't always be potential. It's a bit of a
:41:36. > :41:39.dilemma because Mourinho doesn't have a track record of blooding
:41:40. > :41:44.youngsters. If he's good enough, he will be in. Lingard is 2324. He
:41:45. > :41:50.might have learned when he went on loan. But if everybody's fit, is
:41:51. > :41:52.Lingard in the United first 11? There is a point where you want to
:41:53. > :41:55.be in that team every week. Spurs were taking on Southampton
:41:56. > :41:57.without the injured Harry Kane, who'd scored nine of their previous
:41:58. > :41:59.14 league goals. Simon Brotherton was at
:42:00. > :42:10.White Hart Lane to find out how COMMENTATOR: No Kane, no problem. We
:42:11. > :42:14.will find out as Tottenham start a series of matches without a prolific
:42:15. > :42:21.striker against opponents who have found one of their own. Manolo
:42:22. > :42:25.Gabbiadini scoring six goals in four games since his arrival from Napoli.
:42:26. > :42:32.Sunni scored a hat-trick in the FA Cup last weekend. His only change
:42:33. > :42:35.from the last league game. Gabbiadini looking to extend a run
:42:36. > :42:40.that has seen him score in each of his last seven games going back to
:42:41. > :42:45.the end of his time at Napoli. Steven Davies was the unlikely
:42:46. > :42:48.goal-scoring hero here last season, scoring both in a 2-1 victory in
:42:49. > :43:04.May. Son striding forward, in behind the
:43:05. > :43:10.defence. Vital save from Forster. Tottenham almost making the perfect
:43:11. > :43:16.start in the third minute. Look at the run from Son, denied by Fraser
:43:17. > :43:19.Forster. Mauricio Pochettino, the Tottenham manager, saying he has to
:43:20. > :43:24.have trust and belief in the players to step up and embrace the
:43:25. > :43:35.responsibility of replacing Harry Kane in the coming matches. Nice
:43:36. > :43:44.turn from Dembele, away from Steven Davis, into Eriksen who fires
:43:45. > :43:49.Tottenham ahead. It's now four in four against Southampton in the
:43:50. > :43:54.league at White Hart Lane for him. Dembele with a short pass and
:43:55. > :43:56.Eriksen finds the bottom corner. It takes Eriksen into double figures
:43:57. > :44:08.for the season. His tenth goal. Southampton need to respond quickly
:44:09. > :44:15.to having fallen a goal behind. Off the head of Toby Alderweireld.
:44:16. > :44:20.Romeu! That was a good shot. Hasn't got his name on the scoresheet at
:44:21. > :44:27.all this season. Whistling past the post here from Romeu.
:44:28. > :44:32.Other viral forward. Dele Alli with a header down. Christian Eriksen. --
:44:33. > :44:38.Alderweireld forward. Lovely piece of skill which in the
:44:39. > :44:54.end went to a corner. In by Eriksen. Good save by forced
:44:55. > :45:01.to deny Toby Alderweireld. -- by Forster. Gets his head to the ball
:45:02. > :45:13.and it is scooped away off the line by the Southampton keeper. Wanyama.
:45:14. > :45:20.One back by Bertrand. Collected by Gabbiadini. Tadic. Gabbiadini.
:45:21. > :45:24.Superb effort. It stays at 1-0, but Southampton almost coming level. How
:45:25. > :45:29.close was this? Very close. Gabbiadini looks like he might have
:45:30. > :45:37.pulled something. The upper left thigh or groin area, perhaps.
:45:38. > :45:43.Cedric. Gabbiadini takes his place in the centre. Redmond has kept it
:45:44. > :45:47.in. And it's over the top. What a mess by Dusan Tadic, but the flag
:45:48. > :45:53.has gone up anyway to say the ball had gone beyond the byline to save
:45:54. > :45:56.his blushes. -- what a miss. That was the decision given, that the
:45:57. > :46:11.ball had gone out, but it didn't look like it had at all. Vertonghen,
:46:12. > :46:19.into Fabio. Romeo can't get the ball away. In goes Dele Alli. Penalty. --
:46:20. > :46:25.into Son. Quick to point to this penalty spot, the referee. Bit of a
:46:26. > :46:34.mix-up at the back for Southampton and Davis with the challenge. That
:46:35. > :46:35.was on Dele Alli, who hits the deck. And Tottenham with an excellent
:46:36. > :46:48.chance to make it 2-0. 2-0. What a confident kick, and
:46:49. > :46:56.Tottenham looking good here in this first half. And for Dele Alli it's
:46:57. > :47:00.now 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League appearances. A superb run
:47:01. > :47:04.over the last three months. Tottenham, without Harry Kane,
:47:05. > :47:13.scored twice in the opening 33 minutes. -- score. Longer in the
:47:14. > :47:17.box. Ward-Prowse is in there as well. -- Shane Long. That will be a
:47:18. > :47:26.free kick after the challenge by Dembele. Half-time just seconds
:47:27. > :47:31.away. Dear me. A bit more work needed on that one. Decent effort,
:47:32. > :47:37.beaten away by Lloris, didn't fall for Tadic. Yoshida, and Tadic
:47:38. > :47:46.unaware as the ball went back towards him. This is an interesting
:47:47. > :47:54.free kick. It fall half of their own players, never mind the Tottenham
:47:55. > :47:56.one. Lloris makes the save and then Ben Davies challenges. It completely
:47:57. > :48:04.misses the ball. Tottenham have got away with one there. -- he
:48:05. > :48:12.completely misses the ball. Davies. Good play. Promising for Tottenham.
:48:13. > :48:18.Son finds Eriksen, who brings Kyle Walker into Blake and Eriksen gets
:48:19. > :48:22.right underneath it. -- into play. First flowing move of the second
:48:23. > :48:26.half with the first -- home team looking to extend their lead. There
:48:27. > :48:30.is Manolo Gabbiadini who had to go off in the first half with an
:48:31. > :48:40.injury. Luckily it doesn't look as if it is anything too serious. Tadic
:48:41. > :48:47.finding Bertrand. Shane Long heads into the centre. A chance, and a
:48:48. > :48:52.goal, put away by James Ward-Prowse. The deficit is halved early in the
:48:53. > :48:59.second half. Good strong running. The delivery from Ryan Bertrand
:49:00. > :49:02.skipped underneath the boot of Toby Alderweireld and Ward-Prowse with
:49:03. > :49:09.his third of the season means it is 2-1. That goal for Southampton was
:49:10. > :49:12.six minutes into the second half, only the eighth Tottenham have
:49:13. > :49:19.conceded at home in the league this season. Yoshida in on Jansen. Ball
:49:20. > :49:28.collected by Dele Alli. He's on his own at the moment. He waits for
:49:29. > :49:39.support. Challenged by Oriol Romeu, and away, Southampton. -- away,
:49:40. > :49:43.Southampton. No appeals or complaints from either set of
:49:44. > :49:48.players. Janssen has done well. Dele Alli in the centre. Janssen goes for
:49:49. > :49:52.goal and brings the save from Fraser Forster. The Dutchman looking to
:49:53. > :49:57.make an immediate impact having just come off the bench. He had Dele Alli
:49:58. > :50:03.as an option in the centre that he went for goal. -- but he went a
:50:04. > :50:08.goal. There is the challenge on Dele Alli, and what a good one it was
:50:09. > :50:15.two. Rodriguez heads through the centre. Eric Dier can't reach it.
:50:16. > :50:21.Rodriguez alongside Shane Long. A bit of a stretch for Ward-Prowse,
:50:22. > :50:26.but he has got it. As the shot comes in, and whistles past the post.
:50:27. > :50:32.Again, the alarm bells ringing left, right and centre for as Southampton
:50:33. > :50:36.press for a goal in added time. Frustration for Claude Puel.
:50:37. > :50:43.I am very pleased and happy with the performance of the whole team. It is
:50:44. > :50:52.a big impact when you lose your main striker, but I think the front men
:50:53. > :51:01.laid very well, the offensive line and we made a mistake for the goal.
:51:02. > :51:04.We suffered in the game but we assured they played well and
:51:05. > :51:12.Southampton have a good team but the Premier League is tough and to win
:51:13. > :51:15.games, you need to suffer. Do you think your team should have had a
:51:16. > :51:24.penalty for that challenge on Dusan Tadic? I think it is the same as the
:51:25. > :51:33.penalty for Tottenham, and it is the same against Dusan Tadic. It's a
:51:34. > :51:36.pity because we were the same as teams. How important is it a go into
:51:37. > :51:41.the international break with three points? It is important. We were
:51:42. > :51:50.talking about this before the game. It is a key game, and now it is in
:51:51. > :51:54.the past, and the next one will be the most important then. It must be
:51:55. > :52:00.frustrating that you keep winning but Chelsea, you don't get any
:52:01. > :52:05.closer. The last ten minutes with a goal against Stoke, that is the luck
:52:06. > :52:08.you need to win a championship but we are not there yet and there's a
:52:09. > :52:12.lot of games to go and we will do our best to catch them. We are going
:52:13. > :52:15.to concentrate on the man being interviewed there. Christian
:52:16. > :52:19.Eriksen, and Danny was very impressed. If you look at his stats
:52:20. > :52:25.over the course of the season at Spurs he has properly, and you can
:52:26. > :52:27.see, he has got better and better and now he's having his most
:52:28. > :52:33.productive season when you look at the numbers. Yes, and I think early
:52:34. > :52:37.in the season, I and others were critical of him in the bigger games
:52:38. > :52:43.but he is on fire at the moment. The new system is helping. This pass
:52:44. > :52:48.here, not many players could play it and see it. It is weighted to
:52:49. > :52:52.perfection. That gave him the confidence and he is spraying it
:52:53. > :52:57.about. He is technically very good, two-footed, but the new formation
:52:58. > :53:01.with the wingbacks high up the pitch means he can venture infield and do
:53:02. > :53:05.things like this. The disguise and cleverness of that, nearly a
:53:06. > :53:11.brilliant pass and then he sets them on the way with a great strike,
:53:12. > :53:15.tucking in the right and that is a really, really good strike.
:53:16. > :53:19.Difficult technique. I think he is thriving in the way they have set up
:53:20. > :53:25.since they have gone to three. So it gives him more freedom? He's not in
:53:26. > :53:28.wide positions running back to help the full-back, because they have a
:53:29. > :53:32.wingback and he can come in. You cannot give him the amount of space
:53:33. > :53:36.they gave him in the first half. It was notable in the second half that
:53:37. > :53:40.they closed him down quicker. The damage was done in the first half.
:53:41. > :53:44.Claude Puel made the point that if the referee gave the penalty to
:53:45. > :53:48.Spurs, he should have given the penalty to Southampton as well. I
:53:49. > :53:53.understand him saying that the I didn't think either was a penalty.
:53:54. > :53:58.Terrible defending from Southampton. Yes, clumsy challenge from Davies,
:53:59. > :54:04.but if you watch Dele Alli, he is clever. He puts his back leg in and
:54:05. > :54:08.he has to make contact. He has a little pirouette in the air so I
:54:09. > :54:14.don't think there's enough for the referee to give a penalty. It was a
:54:15. > :54:18.clumsy challenge, but not for me. Can you see why it is given? Yes,
:54:19. > :54:24.it's a tough decision but I didn't think it was. Yes, a bit of contact,
:54:25. > :54:31.but watching dive. Arms in the air, one more step and go over. I didn't
:54:32. > :54:36.think that was a penalty. Put this date down, because I will have to
:54:37. > :54:40.agree with him again. I know! I don't know a show where we have
:54:41. > :54:48.agreed, but I completely agree. I think they are both soft penalties.
:54:49. > :54:52.A sad day for punditry. I will go on to Spurs and Harry Kane in a second,
:54:53. > :54:56.but Southampton will miss Gabbiadini. Shane Long kept getting
:54:57. > :55:02.caught offside today. For a man who has not been there long, it says how
:55:03. > :55:06.well he has settled in. Six in four, and when he got the injury he nearly
:55:07. > :55:09.got them back in and they missed him in the second half. They played well
:55:10. > :55:16.in the second half but did not have the cutting edge and finishes. Spurs
:55:17. > :55:22.have Burnley away, Swansea away, Watford away, born of a home, and
:55:23. > :55:27.Harry Kane will miss those. Tough games, the first two, but Spurs will
:55:28. > :55:28.have to go and win those games to be where they want to be. Thank you
:55:29. > :55:30.very much. Time for Saturday's goals,
:55:31. > :55:44.starting at the Hawthorns. First corner of the game. 12 minutes
:55:45. > :55:52.gone. Chadli with it. And headed in, and it is Dawson who scores. West
:55:53. > :55:54.Bromwich Albion who have this reputation of being so dangerous
:55:55. > :56:02.from set pieces have scored another one. And the pressure is beginning
:56:03. > :56:10.to mount again on Arsene Wenger. Welbeck. Dan -- Granit Xhaka.
:56:11. > :56:15.Sanchez unmarked, took his time, and he finds the net. Superb response
:56:16. > :56:22.from Arsenal. What a cool, cool finish from the Chilean. His 22nd of
:56:23. > :56:30.the season. Chadli is calling for it on the edge. Here is the Belgian.
:56:31. > :56:34.Cleared by Ospina, and he is in. Stabbed home by Hal Robson-Kanu.
:56:35. > :56:42.Monorail leads the protests. They feel as though there was an Albion
:56:43. > :56:48.player offside in the midst of all that -- Monreal. The referee deep in
:56:49. > :56:51.conversation. And I think they have called that right, because the
:56:52. > :56:54.Albion player who was in an offside position was not in full to hearing
:56:55. > :56:58.with play because all of the Arsenal players were in front of him and he
:56:59. > :57:02.did not touch the ball -- interfering with play. The first
:57:03. > :57:07.West Brom goal came from a corner and Dawson is in the mix again. A
:57:08. > :57:14.wicked delivery, and it is in, and it's a second for Craig Dawson.
:57:15. > :57:19.Oxlade-Chamberlain saw it and let him go, and defensively, that is
:57:20. > :57:26.shocking. Nine major trophies in his 21 years at the helm of Arsenal
:57:27. > :57:31.Football Club, but is his time up in 2017?
:57:32. > :57:41.A Chelsea free kick. Willian's delivery, trying to catch out Lee
:57:42. > :57:47.Grant on his near post, and he succeeds. Quick thinking from
:57:48. > :57:51.Wiliame. Disappointing from Lee Grant -- Wiliame. The league leaders
:57:52. > :57:58.are in front. Joe Allen to deliver the corner. One by Cameron, and then
:57:59. > :58:04.came Bruno Martins Indi, but he's offside. Anthony Taylor is coming
:58:05. > :58:09.over to the assistant. It is a push. And the goal has been pulled out.
:58:10. > :58:17.There is a push on Azpilicueta by Saido Berahino that the referee's
:58:18. > :58:24.assistant saw. Can stoke asked the question? Lifted in by Peters. A
:58:25. > :58:31.penalty. Gary Cahill with a little nudge. And Walters himself will have
:58:32. > :58:40.the opportunity to level it up. He comes. Emphatic penalty. His third
:58:41. > :58:49.goal in seven games. And Stoke City are back on terms. It is a Chelsea
:58:50. > :58:56.corner. Fabregas with it. Daddy Louise with the header and it came
:58:57. > :59:01.back to Cahill. -- David Louise. The man who gave away the pals in the
:59:02. > :59:06.first half restores the lead with less than four minutes to go -- gave
:59:07. > :59:11.away the penalty. Chelsea absolutely delighted. Look what it means on the
:59:12. > :59:17.Chelsea bench. Fabregas. Here is Loftus-Cheek. A foul on Fabregas.
:59:18. > :59:23.Phil Bardsley is one of those already on a yellow card and Stoke's
:59:24. > :59:25.misery is compounded with a red Fort Phil Bardsley in the last minute of
:59:26. > :59:38.stoppage time. It just ran away from Cook. It's
:59:39. > :59:48.broken for Joshua King. Benik Afobe! It's in. Afobe had the benefit of a
:59:49. > :59:49.deflection off Alfie Mawson which left Fabianski completely
:59:50. > :00:04.wrong-footed. Joshua King, Afobe, real chance. 2-0
:00:05. > :00:13.Bournemouth. And that one certainly is Benik Afobe's goal. A well
:00:14. > :00:15.weighted pass to Afobe. Inch perfect finish from him. Surely it's all
:00:16. > :00:20.three points wrapped up for Bournemouth as well. If you are an
:00:21. > :00:27.Arsenal fan holding up a banner com you might want to not see the papers
:00:28. > :00:29.tomorrow. Tony Pulis says that Arsene Wenger told him after the
:00:30. > :00:37.game he will stay at the club according to the sun. The Mirror
:00:38. > :00:42.have gone with Wenger's staying. That's written by John Cross, who
:00:43. > :00:46.knows Arsenal inside out. That would surprise me. I made my point on
:00:47. > :00:50.Arsenal and in particular their players on last nights Match of the
:00:51. > :00:54.Day after their pathetic performance. All the indications,
:00:55. > :00:58.the way he spoke afterwards, even though he didn't give anything away,
:00:59. > :01:02.most people assumed he would call it a day. He has taken a lot of stick.
:01:03. > :01:06.I don't know why you would continually want to do that. He has
:01:07. > :01:10.only ever come across as somebody who cares and loves the club. If he
:01:11. > :01:15.cares and loves the cup that much, he must see they are deteriorating
:01:16. > :01:18.and getting worse now. It's the right thing for him to walk away
:01:19. > :01:22.the. Do you think he takes any notice of people outside the
:01:23. > :01:29.football club criticising him? I don't think he cares enough about
:01:30. > :01:33.people outside the club. But it will be crazy for him to think the fans
:01:34. > :01:34.will not get worse, because they will.
:01:35. > :01:36.More football for you in the coming week...
:01:37. > :01:39.The friendly between Germany and England is live on 5Live
:01:40. > :01:43.So is the World Cup qualifier between Ireland and Wales on Friday.
:01:44. > :01:45.Reaction in Football Focus on Saturday from midday.
:01:46. > :01:53.Time for the rest of Saturday's goals.
:01:54. > :02:03.Barkley looking for the run of Davies, who is onside.
:02:04. > :02:07.Calvert-Lewin, 1-0. What a lovely way to get off the mark. Dominic
:02:08. > :02:15.Calvert-Lewin with his first effort on goal.
:02:16. > :02:27.Huddlestone on Idrissa Gueye. Tom Huddlestone is off. It's certainly
:02:28. > :02:34.dangerous, and Hull City will play the last minutes of the game with
:02:35. > :02:44.ten men. Beautifully back into Valencia's path. Enner Valencia, 2-0
:02:45. > :02:51.Everton. Hull City carved open by a Valencia, Lukaku combination.
:02:52. > :03:03.Good ball from Valencia. Lukaku! 20th league goal of the season for
:03:04. > :03:10.Romelu Lukaku. Good ball by Valencia and typical finish from Lukaku.
:03:11. > :03:20.It's short, could be a fourth. Lukaku, it surely will be.
:03:21. > :03:23.Elabdellaoui with the mistake. Romelu Lukaku with yet another goal.
:03:24. > :03:39.It's 4-0. Yohan Cabaye with the delivery. Troy
:03:40. > :03:43.Deeney into his own net! Crystal Palace lead. Troy Deeney has a great
:03:44. > :03:44.scoring record against Crystal Palace, and he has scored for
:03:45. > :03:53.Crystal Palace. A long-range effort, nearly beat
:03:54. > :04:03.Hennessey who had to react smartly to deny Doucoure. Probably Watford's
:04:04. > :04:09.best effort of the game and Hennessey had to be sure.
:04:10. > :04:17.It's good from Leicester. A noticeable spring in their step. Did
:04:18. > :04:22.Vardy get a touch on it, or is it Mahrez's goal? I think it might be
:04:23. > :04:28.the latter. Riyad Mahrez with his ninth of the season. The Shakespeare
:04:29. > :04:33.era is off to another bonus start. Leicester haven't lost any of the
:04:34. > :04:38.last five meetings against West Ham. They have certainly started
:04:39. > :04:44.positively here, and its 2-0. Robert Huth unremarked. The flag stays down
:04:45. > :04:48.and Leicester, within the seven minutes, R two clear already.
:04:49. > :04:54.This is their first sight of the Leicester goal and they have scored
:04:55. > :04:57.from it. They have built the platform necessary to get back in
:04:58. > :05:01.the game courtesy of Lanzini. We have a game on here.
:05:02. > :05:14.It's a corner. Robert Huth in there. It reaches Jamie Vardy. He restores
:05:15. > :05:16.Leicester's two goal advantage. In a half full of incident and chances,
:05:17. > :05:30.it's also been full of goals. Nodded back by Carroll and turned in
:05:31. > :05:35.by Ayew. West Ham are back in it. West Ham once again have brought a
:05:36. > :05:41.two goal deficit down to one. If this goes in, the roof will rattle
:05:42. > :05:46.at the London Stadium. Deflection, Carroll, great save by Schmeichel.
:05:47. > :05:47.Unbelievable goalkeeping. He learned that from his dad, no question.
:05:48. > :06:07.Unbelievable. Barnes misses. The flag stayed down.
:06:08. > :06:13.Huge opportunity for Burnley. You are talking such fine margins.
:06:14. > :06:20.Jermain Defoe keeps his balance. Looked like a nudge from Keane. Good
:06:21. > :06:27.save by Tom Heaton to deny Januzaj. Well kept out.
:06:28. > :06:34.Seb Larsson with a good ball in, and it's headed wide. What a chance for
:06:35. > :06:40.Sunderland. Billy Jones holds his head, and so does his manager.
:06:41. > :06:43.Superb cross from Seb Larsson and Jones just got his head to the ball.
:06:44. > :06:46.This is what the table looks like going into the international break.
:06:47. > :06:47.Tottenham remain Chelsea's nearest challengers -
:06:48. > :06:49.10 points behind - after their 10th
:06:50. > :06:52.Manchester City stay above Liverpool in third,
:06:53. > :06:54.while United have escaped sixth place for the first
:06:55. > :06:56.time since October - they're up to fifth.
:06:57. > :06:58.Middlesbrough are second bottom and five points adrift of safety
:06:59. > :07:08.after going 11 matches without a victory.
:07:09. > :07:22.Ellis Short's wife wasn't enthralled at Sunderland.
:07:23. > :07:27.More co-ordinated hand celebrations. Although this one isn't the most
:07:28. > :07:30.complicated. This afternoon Chris Smalling did
:07:31. > :07:43.his best Phil Jones impression. The security guard at Middlesbrough
:07:44. > :07:46.felt he was in danger from Mourinho. Look at his face!
:07:47. > :07:56.And Firmino was so sure Lallana would score, he's celebrating.
:07:57. > :08:03.If you're a goalkeeper, look away now.
:08:04. > :08:05.After Victor Valdes' slip-up earlier, we'll end with some
:08:06. > :08:24.Le Tissier. One of the gold -- goalkeeping clangers you'll ever
:08:25. > :08:30.get. Horrible moment for Fraser Forster.
:08:31. > :08:36.You can only feel sorry for him. What an awful moment for the
:08:37. > :08:48.goalkeeper. It's an absolute disaster for Man
:08:49. > :08:56.City. He has spooned it into his own net.
:08:57. > :09:03.A slip from Valdes, a gift for Manchester United.
:09:04. > :09:06.The 24-year-old man has been charged with murder.
:09:07. > :09:09.You made sure an innocent man is charged!
:09:10. > :09:12.What gives you the right to say that he's innocent?
