:00:51. > :00:52.Former Arsenal and Leicester defender Martin Keown

:01:01. > :01:03.began the night in the relegation zone.
:01:04. > :01:05.With the Italian's empire showing cracks all season,
:01:06. > :01:17.it finally crumbled over the last four weeks.
:01:18. > :01:23.Lester's sorry defence of their Premier League title continues to
:01:24. > :01:28.underwhelm. At this moment, everything is wrong against us.
:01:29. > :01:32.Trouble mounting on Claudio Ranieri at Leicester. More misery for the
:01:33. > :01:37.champions. Cloudy and Ranieri has been given a vote of confidence by
:01:38. > :01:46.the club today. -- Claudio Ranieri. What a goal from Gray!
:01:47. > :01:53.Swansea dropped Leicester right into the mire. Millwall take a hat-trick
:01:54. > :02:01.of Premier League scalps, this time the champions. Leicester City,
:02:02. > :02:02.through Jamie Vardy, have hope. Champions, Leicester City have
:02:03. > :02:10.sacked their manager Claudio Ranieri.
:02:11. > :02:17.COMMENTATOR: This time last year, Leicester worth ten points clear at
:02:18. > :02:21.the top. Now they are in the bottom three and without a manager. Life
:02:22. > :02:25.isn't about to get any easier against a Liverpool side aiming to
:02:26. > :02:27.go third in the table, playing for the first time in just over a
:02:28. > :02:33.fortnight. One change to the side that started
:02:34. > :02:41.in Seville last Wednesday in the Champions League. Okazaki starts.
:02:42. > :02:48.Leonardo Ulloa, who on ago said he would never play for the club again,
:02:49. > :02:56.is named amongst the substitutes -- who one month ago. Henderson
:02:57. > :03:01.suffering. Emre Can replaces him in midfield. Other than that, the same
:03:02. > :03:05.team that beat Tottenham last time. Lucas continues in central defence
:03:06. > :03:09.with Dejan Lovren injured. That is the sentiment from those in the
:03:10. > :03:14.crowd tonight at the King Power Stadium. The man who was Claudio
:03:15. > :03:19.Ranieri's assistant has stepped up to take charge of the team, Craig
:03:20. > :03:23.Shakespeare. He's seen it all in recent times having worked with
:03:24. > :03:28.Nigel Pearson before the Italian. He now takes on Liverpool. Leicester
:03:29. > :03:35.looking to up their game in every sense of the world. Without a goal
:03:36. > :03:39.in 2017 in the Premier League never mind a victory. And won since New
:03:40. > :03:42.Year's Eve. -- they haven't won since.
:03:43. > :03:51.Liverpool penned back into their own penalty area. A save from Mignolet.
:03:52. > :03:58.Okazaki. Throwing himself at the ball on the six yard line.
:03:59. > :04:03.Liverpool's goalkeeper Busey, early. Early shot taking a deflection.
:04:04. > :04:09.Okazaki getting their ahead of Lucas. Denied by Mignolet.
:04:10. > :04:15.Shakespeare, sailing, head of the game got me was looking to evoke the
:04:16. > :04:18.spirit of the great escape. The players have started really well.
:04:19. > :04:27.Vardy could be in. Mignolet makes the save. Headed away. Vardy left
:04:28. > :04:32.frustrated. It all came from the long ball from Kasper Schmeichel.
:04:33. > :04:41.Brilliantly taken by Vardy. Mignolet saving. Clyne ahead of Okazaki.
:04:42. > :04:46.In terms of intensity, chalk and cheese compared to the last Premier
:04:47. > :05:01.League performance against Swansea. Given away by Wijnaldum, straight
:05:02. > :05:08.into Jamie Vardy. Clean through. Great chance. 1-0, Leicester! Vardy
:05:09. > :05:13.was all business as he ran onto the ball. There was never any doubt
:05:14. > :05:17.where it was going to end up. Slammed into the back of Mignolet's
:05:18. > :05:28.net. The ball given away in midfield by Wijnaldum. Cracking first-time
:05:29. > :05:33.pass. Clean through. Leicester 1-0 Liverpool. Suddenly, the mood, the
:05:34. > :05:37.doom and gloom, has lifted around the stadium. Leicester City have
:05:38. > :05:45.their first goal in 2017 in the Premier League. Having ended his
:05:46. > :05:54.nine match barren run, Jamie Vardy on target in Europe and in the
:05:55. > :06:00.Premier League. Matip finding Lallana. Mane. Liverpool looking for
:06:01. > :06:06.a quick response. Wijnaldum sliding it through. It could be a chance.
:06:07. > :06:11.Coutinho. A fine block by Kasper Schmeichel. A good stop by
:06:12. > :06:17.Leicester's goalkeeper with Liverpool threatening to get back on
:06:18. > :06:18.level terms. A vital stop. There as dad, watching on. What a keeper he
:06:19. > :06:24.was! -- there is dad. Scuffed clearance from Matip. A
:06:25. > :06:49.challenge by Clyne. Ndidi getting up well. Albrighton.
:06:50. > :06:52.Headed away by Milner. As far as Drinkwater. What a goal! Fantastic
:06:53. > :07:02.strike from Danny Drinkwater. What a finish. Just look at this.
:07:03. > :07:08.Ndidi initially getting up quite well. Albrighton with the cross.
:07:09. > :07:15.Headed away by James Milner. First-time. He absolutely leathered
:07:16. > :07:24.that home. Mignolet not within a mile of it. Like a missile.
:07:25. > :07:30.Leicester 2-0 Liverpool. Danny Drinkwater has scored his first goal
:07:31. > :07:33.of the season. I'm sure he will have plenty to say in a couple of minutes
:07:34. > :07:38.when he gets the players back in the dressing room. Milner. Lallana.
:07:39. > :07:48.Emre Can teeing it up. Fingertip save by Schmeichel. APPLAUSE
:07:49. > :07:53.He couldn't take any chances. Good save. So far, so good for the
:07:54. > :08:00.caretaker. Liverpool are going to have to
:08:01. > :08:02.produce a dramatically improved second-half performance if they are
:08:03. > :08:08.going to get anything here. Nathaniel Clyne has a bit of space.
:08:09. > :08:12.Firmino ahead of him, Mane on the near side. Lallana well forward.
:08:13. > :08:18.Milner on the edge of the box. In towards Milner. A shot from
:08:19. > :08:22.Coutinho. A sharp save from Schmeichel.
:08:23. > :08:29.Coutinho spreading that shot through.
:08:30. > :08:39.Ndidi intercepts. Albrighton sends Vardy away. It fizzes over the top
:08:40. > :08:53.of Emre Can's head. Okazaki into the centre. Mahrez will keep it in.
:08:54. > :08:59.Lovely interchange between the pair of them. Superb play. What a lovely
:09:00. > :09:05.goal! It's absolutely brilliant from Leicester City. Shades of a year
:09:06. > :09:10.ago. Finished off by Vardy. Beautifully created on the near
:09:11. > :09:12.side. It's very hard to see Liverpool coming back from this.
:09:13. > :09:28.Mahrez keeping the ball in play. They worked it well. The cross was
:09:29. > :09:36.precise. Vardy's finish was out of reach. Its turning into quite a
:09:37. > :09:39.night for Leicester City. Three goals would seemingly have them
:09:40. > :09:42.heading for three points which would lift them out of the bottom three.
:09:43. > :09:51.And up into 15th place in the table. This has not gone according to plan
:09:52. > :09:59.at all from Liverpool's point of view. Mane.
:10:00. > :10:02.Lovely touch from Firmino, collected by Adam Lallana. Kept out by
:10:03. > :10:11.Schmeichel. Schmeichel without a clean sheet
:10:12. > :10:17.since the 2nd of January against Middlesbrough. He's been in fine
:10:18. > :10:23.form so far this evening. Claudio Ranieri's name echoes around the
:10:24. > :10:26.stadium. As the Leicester City fans pay their respects to the man who
:10:27. > :10:30.was in charge when they won the championship last May.
:10:31. > :10:38.Midway through the second half, Liverpool are going to mount some
:10:39. > :10:44.sort of comeback. They need to start pretty quickly. Emre Can's done well
:10:45. > :10:50.here. Coutinho! Liverpool are on the board. He walks through there and
:10:51. > :10:56.walked it home. Leicester 3-1 Liverpool. We at the midway point of
:10:57. > :11:08.the second half. Emre Can created it and Coutinho coolly finished.
:11:09. > :11:17.Lucas just getting their ahead of Vardy that here comes Riyadh Mahrez.
:11:18. > :11:23.He's away from his man. It's Mahrez. Still going. Drinkwater! APPLAUSE
:11:24. > :11:28.Not far from a fourth. Liverpool chase the game and the more that
:11:29. > :11:31.happens, the more chances appear for Leicester City.
:11:32. > :11:43.Firmino. Finding a bit of space. The shots just came off the fingertips
:11:44. > :11:48.of Schmeichel! Luckily for him it went wide of the post this is how
:11:49. > :11:51.close Liverpool went. To a second goal.
:11:52. > :12:00.A look of the watch from Michael Oliver. Matip for Liverpool. WHISTLE
:12:01. > :12:06.After all the turbulence of recent days following the sacking of
:12:07. > :12:10.Claudio Ranieri, you have to say Leicester City looks like a
:12:11. > :12:13.completely different team tonight. This was likely side we saw last
:12:14. > :12:18.season, the side that lifted the title. They've seen off Liverpool
:12:19. > :12:23.and they did it with two goals from Jamie Vardy and a piledriver from
:12:24. > :12:27.Danny Drinkwater. Leicester City, three points in the bag, are out of
:12:28. > :12:32.the bottom three. Crisis, what crisis?
:12:33. > :12:37.A big night for you and Leicester City as a whole. Couldn't have gone
:12:38. > :12:41.much better, the way the team performed and the crowd reacted?
:12:42. > :12:47.Yeah, from the word go, you could see the intensity and the passion
:12:48. > :12:51.was there. We had a great start and all credit to the fans, they got
:12:52. > :12:55.behind the team early doors. There was a bit of a worry from some
:12:56. > :12:59.quarters how they would react to the criticism that's been levelled at
:13:00. > :13:03.the players of the last few days. Fair play to them, they got behind
:13:04. > :13:07.them from the word go. A nice touch from the crowd, on 65 minutes
:13:08. > :13:12.towards Claudio It was lovely, they were excellent tonight because they
:13:13. > :13:15.got behind the team from the start but played respect to Claudio
:13:16. > :13:22.Ranieri. If ever there was a night to help each other it was night and
:13:23. > :13:26.it showed. Simple things you learn, pass, move, talk. As a young player
:13:27. > :13:29.you learn it. Stick with it. It was always going to be tough but we
:13:30. > :13:33.showed what we are capable of. That wasn't what you had in mind tonight
:13:34. > :13:40.but what are your thoughts on the performance?
:13:41. > :13:54.Yes. A bad start. Bad in the middle. And bad at the end, if you want.
:13:55. > :13:59.Yes, we had a few, a little bit better than average moments. But
:14:00. > :14:06.most of the situations were not even average. With our targets, our
:14:07. > :14:11.quality and skills, we need to perform better. You could lose
:14:12. > :14:14.football games because of bad luck and things, referee decisions or
:14:15. > :14:19.something but you have got to deliver and we did not, again. Did
:14:20. > :14:23.you feel a bit stunned about some of the things that had been said and
:14:24. > :14:29.accusations made in recent days? I think there has been a lot of unfair
:14:30. > :14:32.stuff written lately and the reaction from everyone, not me
:14:33. > :14:36.personally but most of the squad. It has got us fired up in a good way to
:14:37. > :14:42.put the reaction on the pitch which we have done. We've got the three
:14:43. > :14:46.points and look forward to the next game on Saturday. Was it like
:14:47. > :14:51.watching the lustre of last season? It was, we have hardly seen that
:14:52. > :14:55.team all season. Best in every department tonight. Liverpool could
:14:56. > :15:00.not live with them. They flew out of the blocks as Jamie Bardy and drink
:15:01. > :15:03.water but said. As if they had a point to prove. Probably to the
:15:04. > :15:07.media more than anything else. They played like champions tonight. They
:15:08. > :15:12.had been like pussycats since the start of the season and they were
:15:13. > :15:16.like Tigers. It was all there tonight, the workrate, the pressure
:15:17. > :15:20.they put Liverpool under. The first 15 minutes, Liverpool could hardly
:15:21. > :15:25.get out of the box. It was a transformation in their performance.
:15:26. > :16:08.And between the years, basically. They want it. They
:16:09. > :16:12.might have thought they were trying for their previous manager but not
:16:13. > :16:14.compared to what we have seen tonight. Jamie Vardy particularly at
:16:15. > :16:16.the top of the team, every single one of them first to the ball,
:16:17. > :16:19.carrying Liverpool in possession and just too strong. It was just
:16:20. > :16:21.everywhere, good contact, they were quite brilliant. Look at the central
:16:22. > :16:23.defender again. Back to his best. Morgan alongside him as well #FUL
:16:24. > :16:26.LSTOP Christian Fuchs was like a machine, the tackles he made. And
:16:27. > :16:29.that energy served them well. They made 31 tackles tonight, the most in
:16:30. > :16:31.the Premier League game this season. Was 23 tackles this season last
:16:32. > :16:33.season, 16 this everything on one but you cannot judge everything on
:16:34. > :16:36.one I suppose I'm saying you that for the previous manager, or it is
:16:37. > :16:39.because the previouswhy did they not do that for the previous manager, or
:16:40. > :16:41.it is because the previous manager has gone while. They were saying
:16:42. > :16:44.tonight but that performance that it is about the manager we all thought
:16:45. > :16:46.from the outside but it was a collective thing and maybe it was.
:16:47. > :16:48.But tonight their necks from the line, they vindicated the owners
:16:49. > :16:51.getting rid of the manager and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.
:16:52. > :16:54.Because Ranieri, I am certain there was peace and red wine flowing
:16:55. > :16:56.wherever he was because he would not have believed what he saw. A
:16:57. > :16:58.transformation in their performance. I think for a long time there was a
:16:59. > :17:01.breakdown in communication with the manager. Rumours that they wanted a
:17:02. > :17:05.change and we do not happen -- we do not know what happened in the
:17:06. > :17:10.dressing room. But they showed tonight that the club made the right
:17:11. > :17:16.decision. Winning last season does not make you the best man to stay in
:17:17. > :17:19.the season. Let's talk about the second and third goals from
:17:20. > :17:23.Leicester, particularly quality. If you put in the Maier then things
:17:24. > :17:27.will happen for you. In the past they tried to play and started
:17:28. > :17:32.working but by then it was too late. Another long ball, that was the
:17:33. > :17:36.theme of the night. Liverpool cannot clear the ball. Drink water with a
:17:37. > :17:41.big plastic finish. I thought he took it a bit too early, and really
:17:42. > :17:48.high but fantastic. He had a fantastic game in midfield. Right on
:17:49. > :17:53.it. That was a wonderful strike. If he was not there tonight, and he was
:17:54. > :17:59.scooping balls in. Jamie Vardy just electric running into the channel.
:18:00. > :18:03.This is not the best of crosses but Mariners keeps the ball alive. Now a
:18:04. > :18:08.brilliant piece of football, the ball coming back to Christian Fuchs
:18:09. > :18:13.and we see a bit of quality of skill. Just his composure, coming
:18:14. > :18:17.back on his weaker foot and what a bore it is. And Jamie Vardy are not
:18:18. > :18:22.back to his best, but his instinct there again tonight. So much quality
:18:23. > :18:27.in that goal. Shakespeare has come in as well. He's saying I think I'm
:18:28. > :18:31.good enough to take over, you wonder what was going on with him as well.
:18:32. > :18:36.It has to be said because that is how it looks from the outside, does
:18:37. > :18:40.he fancied yourself as manager. He's certainly got the right reaction
:18:41. > :18:44.from his team. Not to bang on about it but you would not judge it just
:18:45. > :18:49.on the one game. Of course not but it is a step in the right direction.
:18:50. > :18:52.If they had not been the winners tonight, they're still in trouble
:18:53. > :18:55.but that was a huge win against a good Liverpool side even though they
:18:56. > :19:00.did not play well tonight. He could not have done any more tonight. Did
:19:01. > :19:07.Liverpool help Leicester in the way that they defended? They allowed
:19:08. > :19:12.Jamie Vardy to get in? If you put Liverpool under pressure and do not
:19:13. > :19:19.let them play, give them time on the ball every ball from a wide area,
:19:20. > :19:23.there is that height advantage. And Lucas, not his natural position but
:19:24. > :19:29.this is just too easy. There has to be a bit -- a better understanding
:19:30. > :19:34.with the partner. Mignolet makes the save and they just get caught. You
:19:35. > :19:39.know about the pace of Jamie Vardy, do not give him as much. That is his
:19:40. > :19:44.signature tune, Jamie Vardy running on your shoulder and you've got to
:19:45. > :19:49.do your best. He should not have been put in that position. Then you
:19:50. > :19:54.question the manager because Jamie Vardy is running free. Lucas just
:19:55. > :19:58.does not want to play. Look at this, Okazaki making the run. He said the
:19:59. > :20:05.ball out to Jamie Vardy in the first place. The criticism should not be
:20:06. > :20:12.aimed at Lucas but either the manager for putting him in that
:20:13. > :20:17.position, or the owner for not giving them enough motive. I do not
:20:18. > :20:22.think you can be too harsh on Lucas. He should have done a bit better.
:20:23. > :20:28.But it is not his natural position. He is now over the age of 30 and not
:20:29. > :20:31.the quickest. When they play on the counterattack, with the pace of
:20:32. > :20:40.Jamie Vardy and Mariners, they're dangerous. So we do not know why
:20:41. > :20:47.they kept Ragnar Klavan on the bench. Jurgen Klopp afterwards was
:20:48. > :20:51.despondent talk about how averaged his team was. Usually you get
:20:52. > :20:57.something positive from him. Coutinho scored a consolation goal
:20:58. > :21:00.but really almost a gutless performance from Liverpool but we
:21:01. > :21:04.have not seen for some time. Buying players is not the be all and end
:21:05. > :21:08.all but under the tenure of Jurgen Klopp Liverpool have made a profit
:21:09. > :21:15.in the transfer market. In this age of money flooding into football, you
:21:16. > :21:18.would expect a couple of local sides... I think what they want its
:21:19. > :21:23.results on the pitch and it is getting that balance between
:21:24. > :21:27.spending, speculating to accumulate on the pitch, one win in seven since
:21:28. > :21:32.Christmas, at the halfway stage of the season second in the table and
:21:33. > :21:39.since then the wheels have come. They brought in a couple of central
:21:40. > :21:48.defenders, Ragnar Klavan, I think the main position is in holding
:21:49. > :21:54.midfield. If you compare Drinkwater and Ndidi, and look what Wijnaldum
:21:55. > :21:55.differ Liverpool, that is the big difference. And they need to address
:21:56. > :21:57.that now. After their Europa League exit
:21:58. > :22:00.at Wembley in midweek, Spurs returned to the home comforts
:22:01. > :22:14.of White Hart Lane to face Stoke. After their win big disappointment
:22:15. > :22:19.on Thursday Spurs are back home, they will tell whether one in nine
:22:20. > :22:24.games in a row. Starting a key stretcher fixtures for them, for in
:22:25. > :22:30.a row at White Hart Lane. An unchanged side from the draw against
:22:31. > :22:35.Gent. Dele Alli had a red card but that does not affect his selection
:22:36. > :22:40.for domestic games. He has scored a number of goals in the last meetings
:22:41. > :22:44.between these teams. As has Harry Kane. Four stoke it is the same side
:22:45. > :22:48.that last played two weeks ago against Crystal Palace. Since then
:22:49. > :22:54.they have been to Dubai for a training break. There was a pause
:22:55. > :22:56.for homework home favourite Peter Crouch. Under different reaction for
:22:57. > :23:00.Charlie Adam whose career in English game has seen him score three times
:23:01. > :23:06.against birds, miss a penalty against them and twice be sent off
:23:07. > :23:19.against them. Vertonghen.
:23:20. > :23:31.Davis was on the dash. The left wing to the edge of the box. Mousa
:23:32. > :23:46.Dembele now. Harry Kane. Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen. Harry came full
:23:47. > :23:52.stop he just does not miss. -- Harry Kane. He had to hit it quickly and
:23:53. > :23:58.into the Stoke goal. It takes him on to 24 this season. And we're not yet
:23:59. > :24:03.into March. Since he returned from his ankle injury in November he has
:24:04. > :24:16.scored 18 goals in I was going to say 20 games but 19 and a bit. The
:24:17. > :24:24.manager enjoyed that. Ramadan Sobhi. Superstock from Lloris. And tonight
:24:25. > :24:32.with a chance of any follow-up, Vertonghen getting it. Crouch 's
:24:33. > :24:44.offside. But the flag did not go up. A massive safe from Lloris.
:24:45. > :24:56.That is Walker. Eric Dier. He wins a corner. This is some game. Everyone
:24:57. > :25:01.back for Stoke. Alderweireld wins it for Spurs and Vertonghen, hits the
:25:02. > :25:06.bar. Getting on for three and half years since Vertonghen last scored.
:25:07. > :25:12.That would have been some way to get his name back on the sheet. A lovely
:25:13. > :25:22.touch for Kane and another beauty from him. Here is Christian Eriksen.
:25:23. > :25:27.Christian Eriksen this way and that. Blocked by Barnsley in the end.
:25:28. > :25:33.Which way is he going, Kane going for the goal. What an effort. And it
:25:34. > :25:39.only just missed. The frame of the goal that Vertonghen hit a minute
:25:40. > :25:55.ago. Spurs are absolutely sizzling. Kane upended by Erik Pieters. This
:25:56. > :25:59.is a cracking game. Whipping across the perfect cross,
:26:00. > :26:07.Christian Eriksen. Finding Walker. Walker fired that absolutely. Grant
:26:08. > :26:18.has to tip it over the top. Fire at will. Up towards Kane. Oh, yes. He
:26:19. > :26:25.does it again. On a hat-trick again. The confidence that must be surging
:26:26. > :26:30.through Harry Kane right now. Everything right about it, the
:26:31. > :26:42.timing, the accuracy. And he has made it 2- nil. The team came from
:26:43. > :26:48.2- nil down last season to score but this feels a little bit different.
:26:49. > :26:53.Dele Alli takes it away from Adam and just caught by Charlie Adam.
:26:54. > :27:00.Frustrated by the decision. Might be frustrated he did not get there at
:27:01. > :27:07.the right time. Christian Eriksen will leave it for Kane and deflected
:27:08. > :27:15.in! Another Harry Kane hat-trick. Another super Sunday for the Spurs
:27:16. > :27:21.striker. Looked on target to me. If it is on target with just the one
:27:22. > :27:26.deflection then it is Harry Kane's goal. And on their way to a big win
:27:27. > :27:30.and a big three points. Two more first-half minutes to play. Two
:27:31. > :27:44.minutes too many for his liking. Kane. Dele Alli running into the
:27:45. > :27:54.middle. Dele Alli! Four for Spurs. With the whole path to come. Having
:27:55. > :28:05.got through, always aware of where Dele Alli was moving into. Stoke
:28:06. > :28:12.getting a caning. Mauricio Pochettino not the type of coach to
:28:13. > :28:19.just coach -- coast the second half. Whelan. Arnautovic trying to make it
:28:20. > :28:24.is. Now after Vertonghen, a battle between the two. It is going to be a
:28:25. > :28:29.Stoke free kick. Arnautovic has earned that. Plenty of fight left in
:28:30. > :28:44.him. Adam Inan, headed out by Davies. -- Adam in. He did not
:28:45. > :28:54.intend to put it in like that. Davies misses but has another go.
:28:55. > :29:00.Adam has another go. Eric Dier got there too back it away. It warned
:29:01. > :29:09.for Lloris that it did not bounce into the path of Jo Allen. Kane.
:29:10. > :29:15.Winks outside. Kane. A shooting chance again. It would have been his
:29:16. > :29:27.fourth in the game but for a super stop. Lee Grant.
:29:28. > :29:35.Eriksen on the move down the right hand side. Walker flying forward to
:29:36. > :29:43.help him out if needed. In an goal but Grant stops his shot. But fully
:29:44. > :29:45.grant, it could have been six or seven for Spurs. Couldn't have done
:29:46. > :29:52.anything about the four did beat him. I feel good, fresh, ready to go
:29:53. > :29:55.in any game. I'm on a nice one form in the last couple of months.
:29:56. > :30:00.Hopefully until the end of the season I can keep that going. Let's
:30:01. > :30:07.see how many I can score. He's playing at a very good level. He's a
:30:08. > :30:11.fantastic player, one of the top strikers in the world.
:30:12. > :30:18.He deserves it. He's a great professional, a top man, I'm happy
:30:19. > :30:23.for him. My focus will always be on what we do. Spurs are a good team
:30:24. > :30:26.but if you allow them time and space, a good team, and you don't
:30:27. > :30:30.get up to the ball and affect the game, which we didn't in the first
:30:31. > :30:35.half, good players will hurt you. It's a long gap, ten points, to
:30:36. > :30:42.Chelsea. Is all you can do when your games? Not worry about them? True.
:30:43. > :30:48.It's a big gap. That moment, that period in the Premier League. But
:30:49. > :30:51.keep going and belief. You got the match ball at Foden and another
:30:52. > :30:56.today but you seemed to have a problem getting it, was the referee
:30:57. > :31:00.disputing your third? There was a bit of banter that it was a lucky
:31:01. > :31:05.third but it was on target. It snuck under the keeper. But a goal is a
:31:06. > :31:09.goal. I will happily take it. Pochettino says he is up there with
:31:10. > :31:14.the best in the world. Minutes per goal, Premier League history, third
:31:15. > :31:22.on that list, Harry Kane, scoring every 127 minutes. Only Aguero and
:31:23. > :31:27.Henry are ahead of him. Just because we can, Alan Shearer is in 12. Good
:31:28. > :31:31.for him on the graphic. Would you have liked to have marked Harry
:31:32. > :31:35.Kane? I would have liked it. I would have given him a difficult
:31:36. > :31:38.afternoon, perhaps more difficult than yesterday but he is now an
:31:39. > :31:44.outstanding talent. The biggest compliment I could pay him, he's a
:31:45. > :31:48.mixture between Teddy Sheringham and Alan Shearer. He hits the ball well
:31:49. > :31:51.and his movement, his Taligent is as good as Sheringham. Very important
:31:52. > :31:57.to Tottenham. -- his intelligence is. Let's look at his goals and his
:31:58. > :32:04.performance in general. He likes to strike the ball early if he can. He
:32:05. > :32:07.does. He is a very patient... Build-up. Excellent Tottenham team,
:32:08. > :32:14.playing three at the back, lots of options. It arrives at his feet and
:32:15. > :32:19.it is poor defending from Shawcross. He will punish you. A bit lucky,
:32:20. > :32:24.opportunist. He always finds the corners, he has that nasty habit.
:32:25. > :32:27.One thing he doesn't get enough credit for is his finishing. It is
:32:28. > :32:33.exceptional. It was a great strike. This is his second goal. Arnautovic,
:32:34. > :32:39.in no man's land. A very hard ball to hit on his weaker foot. He hits
:32:40. > :32:45.it as sweet as possible. The third one he gets lucky. I'm not sure why
:32:46. > :32:51.Stoker needs to put the ball out from 30 yards. It's a lucky goal.
:32:52. > :33:00.The girl from the corner of his left foot is fantastic. This is bad
:33:01. > :33:04.defending. Why is he so tight? He should be dropping off, dealing with
:33:05. > :33:09.it. Another set piece. That was their downfall. He is full of
:33:10. > :33:13.confidence. He has that bit of space. Now he wants to go after you
:33:14. > :33:23.with a type of shot like Shearer. Spurs fans adore him, obviously, but
:33:24. > :33:27.you are in a good position, do we give him enough credit in this
:33:28. > :33:34.country? Because he is English, do we not put him up with others? He's
:33:35. > :33:38.been doing it for a few seasons. We saw the list before with Henry,
:33:39. > :33:43.Aguero, van der Sar, these fantastic players. He gives so much more to
:33:44. > :33:46.the team. A lot of these players were poachers, goal-scorers but did
:33:47. > :33:52.not get involved. Setting the goals up. The way he holds the ball up,
:33:53. > :33:56.the fourth goal coming he brings so much more than just scoring goal. To
:33:57. > :34:01.move him to the next level, we need to get him to the next World Cup. He
:34:02. > :34:04.was poor at the Euros. He was taking corners for gods sake! Get him in
:34:05. > :34:11.the right position and he will produce. A quick one on Stoke, look
:34:12. > :34:14.at the start, all the teams above them have only taken five points
:34:15. > :34:19.above them. Against the teams below them, they get the majority of
:34:20. > :34:23.points. They need to toughen up, don't they? This is about where they
:34:24. > :34:28.are, comfortable middle of the table team. It is about making the next
:34:29. > :34:29.step. Mark Hughes is trying to bring in players comfortable on the ball
:34:30. > :34:32.but it is about balance. Time for Saturday's goals,
:34:33. > :34:54.starting at Stamford Bridge. Behind Fabregas. He managed to
:34:55. > :34:59.scramble it home. Chelsea have been picking their passes together over
:35:00. > :35:00.the last five or six minutes. Now they've managed to see their
:35:01. > :35:08.persistence paid off. Is there time for Swansea to lift
:35:09. > :35:11.one more ball in the direction of T-bill Courtois's goal? Taking
:35:12. > :35:20.plenty of time about it. Sigurdsson. Headed in. Right on the stroke of
:35:21. > :35:26.half-time. Fernando Llorente draws Swansea level.
:35:27. > :35:34.It's come at two Sigurdsson. He has passed Victor Moses. He tries to
:35:35. > :35:40.keep the ball from Azpilicueta, who he felt handled him. It does come
:35:41. > :35:43.off the outstretched arm of Azpilicueta. I think Chelsea might
:35:44. > :35:49.have got away with one. Fabregas. Pedro waiting for him. Now has a
:35:50. > :35:55.shot which has beaten Fabianski! Straight through the Swansea keeper.
:35:56. > :35:56.He really should have saved it. Chelsea won't mind how they scored
:35:57. > :36:15.it. Brilliant from Hazard. Scored by
:36:16. > :36:18.Diego Costa. That should wrap up the points for Chelsea. A warm hug of
:36:19. > :36:22.appreciation from goal-scorer to goal maker. It is that Chelsea combo
:36:23. > :36:45.again. Hazard and Costa. Maguire came in. Appeals for
:36:46. > :36:49.handball. It's been given. Penalty. A good spot from Martin Atkinson.
:36:50. > :36:54.The captain, Tom Huddlestone, has the responsibility. Against Tom
:36:55. > :37:01.Heaton. It could be a big moment. It's in. Tom Heaton thought he kept
:37:02. > :37:06.it out. Relief for Huddlestone and Hull. 72 minutes gone and Hull have
:37:07. > :37:21.the lead. Brady. Keane! Would you believe it? The man
:37:22. > :37:27.who gave away the penalty at one end has equalised at the other. Just his
:37:28. > :37:41.second ever Premier League goal. And it's got Burnley back on terms.
:37:42. > :37:50.Cabaye! Bernardo got his body in the way. Van Aanholt on his right foot
:37:51. > :37:55.has put it in! Crystal Palace in front. Patrick van Aanholt's first
:37:56. > :38:00.goal for the club. Off his left foot, you would have backed him. Off
:38:01. > :38:03.his right, I think he's as surprised as anybody.
:38:04. > :38:06.Plenty of live football on the BBC over the next seven days.
:38:07. > :38:08.The top two in the Championship meet tomorrow night -
:38:09. > :38:10.commentary on Brighton v Newcastle on 5live.
:38:11. > :38:12.The FA Cup 5th round replay between Manchester City
:38:13. > :38:14.and Huddersfield is live on BBC One on Wednesday night.
:38:15. > :38:20.And the Premier League Show will be back on Thursday.
:38:21. > :38:34.Here are the rest of Saturday's goals.
:38:35. > :38:40.Berkeley has made the run. Davies tries to find him. I am not sure it
:38:41. > :38:47.was aimed at Coleman bet he gets to it. Gueye! Everton score. In the
:38:48. > :38:52.blink of an eye, all Sunderland's excellent defensive work evaporates.
:38:53. > :38:55.Everton have been on top and they now have the lead.
:38:56. > :39:04.Defoe. Is this his moment? Jermain Defoe. Underside of the bar.
:39:05. > :39:13.Somehow, ever to escape. It just seemed like Defoe was waiting for
:39:14. > :39:16.such an opportunity and he is a ball's width away from giving
:39:17. > :39:20.Sunderland an equaliser -- somehow, Everton escape.
:39:21. > :39:32.Mirallas. On the counter. Lukaku. Has he got the legs on Oviedo? He
:39:33. > :39:40.has. Oviedo can't stop him. Pickford can't stop him. Romelu Lukaku. What
:39:41. > :39:45.a pivotal 60 seconds. At one end, the underside of the Bard denies
:39:46. > :39:57.Defoe, the other, Lukaku makes the game.
:39:58. > :40:04.That is cleverly switched away to Fraser on the outside! Penalty!
:40:05. > :40:09.Leaning down on the Bournemouth player, the West Brom defender.
:40:10. > :40:16.Bournemouth will have no concerns whatsoever about that. Josh King
:40:17. > :40:21.from the spot with the rain pouring down putting Bournemouth 1-0 up.
:40:22. > :40:25.What a great start for them and what an important weekend. If they can
:40:26. > :40:32.get a win it will open up a buffer zone to the bottom three. Chadli.
:40:33. > :40:41.Dawson. Deflected! 1-1! Big, big deflection. What a start we've had,
:40:42. > :40:45.two goals in the opening nine and a half minutes. Allowed to pick it up.
:40:46. > :40:56.His first of the season. One apiece. Dawson is in. McAuley Behind him.
:40:57. > :41:04.The goalkeeper blocked. What a mistake by the goalkeeper! How about
:41:05. > :41:07.this? For celebrations? McAuley. Yes he was blocked off but the punch was
:41:08. > :41:10.absolutely feeble. Lifted into the roof of the net by the defender.
:41:11. > :41:28.Horrible goalkeeping error. Through ball looking for Deeney. Got
:41:29. > :41:37.a block in. He goes down, penalty. It was clumsy. The referee pointed
:41:38. > :41:43.to the spot. Inside two minutes. Of his last eight penalty kicks, Troy
:41:44. > :41:49.Deeney, with one blot of pocket top copy book, in April. He doesn't miss
:41:50. > :41:53.this one. He buries it in the bottom corner. Deeney 's eighth of the
:41:54. > :41:57.campaign. The perfect penalty from Troy Deeney.
:41:58. > :42:09.Can Ayew help it on? He can. Picked out Antonio. He hasn't lost it yet.
:42:10. > :42:18.It is in for Ayew. West Ham United level the score at 1-1. And Andre
:42:19. > :42:24.Ayew as a Saab, gets his second in claret and blue. West Ham get the
:42:25. > :42:28.equaliser that there will second half dominance merits. -- on as a
:42:29. > :42:34.substitute. The pass wasn't good enough for him. WHISTLE
:42:35. > :42:38.Antonius flipped to the ground. Watford players felt he handled it.
:42:39. > :42:44.It's a yellow card and having already been booked, Antonio's off.
:42:45. > :42:46.More frustration for Slaven Bilic. Let's have a look. Definite
:42:47. > :42:50.handball. Silly from Antonio. This is how the Premier League
:42:51. > :42:57.table looks this evening. Spurs' win over Stoke yesterday
:42:58. > :43:01.means the gap between themselves and Chelsea is now ten points. Liverpool
:43:02. > :43:07.couldn't make any ground up after defeat at Leicester City. Manchester
:43:08. > :43:12.United not in league action this weekend. Leicester's winter night
:43:13. > :43:16.against Liverpool take them out of the bottom three. That relegation
:43:17. > :43:18.zone is occupied by Sunderland, Hull and Palace -- win tonight.
:43:19. > :43:22.So the post Ranieri era at Leicester has begun.
:43:23. > :43:52.COMMENTATOR: Great chance, 1-0, Leicester! Drinkwater! What a goal!
:43:53. > :43:57.Absolutely brilliant from Leicester City!
:43:58. > :44:02.Coutinho. Liverpool are on the board. Crisis, what crisis?
:44:03. > :44:08.I am more than just the beard or the nation's favourite dish.
:44:09. > :44:15.There's 4 million different ways to understand what British Asian is.
:44:16. > :44:18.mixed with fish and chips and visions of five rivers,
