After an eventful week in the East Midlands,

:00:00.:00:45.

highlights from Leicester v Liverpool on the way,

:00:46.:00:47.

plus Tottenham against Stoke and all of Saturday's goals.

:00:48.:00:50.

Former Arsenal and Leicester defender Martin Keown

:00:51.:00:52.

and the ex-Liverpool midfielder Didi Hamann are with me.

:00:53.:00:56.

Leicester - who sacked Claudio Ranieri on Thursday -

:00:57.:01:00.

began the night in the relegation zone.

:01:01.:01:03.

With the Italian's empire showing cracks all season,

:01:04.:01:05.

it finally crumbled over the last four weeks.

:01:06.:01:17.

Lester's sorry defence of their Premier League title continues to

:01:18.:01:23.

underwhelm. At this moment, everything is wrong against us.

:01:24.:01:28.

Trouble mounting on Claudio Ranieri at Leicester. More misery for the

:01:29.:01:32.

champions. Cloudy and Ranieri has been given a vote of confidence by

:01:33.:01:37.

the club today. -- Claudio Ranieri. What a goal from Gray!

:01:38.:01:46.

Swansea dropped Leicester right into the mire. Millwall take a hat-trick

:01:47.:01:53.

of Premier League scalps, this time the champions. Leicester City,

:01:54.:02:01.

through Jamie Vardy, have hope. Champions, Leicester City have

:02:02.:02:02.

sacked their manager Claudio Ranieri.

:02:03.:02:10.

COMMENTATOR: This time last year, Leicester worth ten points clear at

:02:11.:02:17.

the top. Now they are in the bottom three and without a manager. Life

:02:18.:02:21.

isn't about to get any easier against a Liverpool side aiming to

:02:22.:02:25.

go third in the table, playing for the first time in just over a

:02:26.:02:27.

fortnight. One change to the side that started

:02:28.:02:33.

in Seville last Wednesday in the Champions League. Okazaki starts.

:02:34.:02:41.

Leonardo Ulloa, who on ago said he would never play for the club again,

:02:42.:02:48.

is named amongst the substitutes -- who one month ago. Henderson

:02:49.:02:56.

suffering. Emre Can replaces him in midfield. Other than that, the same

:02:57.:03:01.

team that beat Tottenham last time. Lucas continues in central defence

:03:02.:03:05.

with Dejan Lovren injured. That is the sentiment from those in the

:03:06.:03:09.

crowd tonight at the King Power Stadium. The man who was Claudio

:03:10.:03:14.

Ranieri's assistant has stepped up to take charge of the team, Craig

:03:15.:03:19.

Shakespeare. He's seen it all in recent times having worked with

:03:20.:03:23.

Nigel Pearson before the Italian. He now takes on Liverpool. Leicester

:03:24.:03:28.

looking to up their game in every sense of the world. Without a goal

:03:29.:03:35.

in 2017 in the Premier League never mind a victory. And won since New

:03:36.:03:39.

Year's Eve. -- they haven't won since.

:03:40.:03:42.

Liverpool penned back into their own penalty area. A save from Mignolet.

:03:43.:03:51.

Okazaki. Throwing himself at the ball on the six yard line.

:03:52.:03:58.

Liverpool's goalkeeper Busey, early. Early shot taking a deflection.

:03:59.:04:03.

Okazaki getting their ahead of Lucas. Denied by Mignolet.

:04:04.:04:09.

Shakespeare, sailing, head of the game got me was looking to evoke the

:04:10.:04:15.

spirit of the great escape. The players have started really well.

:04:16.:04:18.

Vardy could be in. Mignolet makes the save. Headed away. Vardy left

:04:19.:04:27.

frustrated. It all came from the long ball from Kasper Schmeichel.

:04:28.:04:32.

Brilliantly taken by Vardy. Mignolet saving. Clyne ahead of Okazaki.

:04:33.:04:41.

In terms of intensity, chalk and cheese compared to the last Premier

:04:42.:04:46.

League performance against Swansea. Given away by Wijnaldum, straight

:04:47.:05:01.

into Jamie Vardy. Clean through. Great chance. 1-0, Leicester! Vardy

:05:02.:05:08.

was all business as he ran onto the ball. There was never any doubt

:05:09.:05:13.

where it was going to end up. Slammed into the back of Mignolet's

:05:14.:05:17.

net. The ball given away in midfield by Wijnaldum. Cracking first-time

:05:18.:05:28.

pass. Clean through. Leicester 1-0 Liverpool. Suddenly, the mood, the

:05:29.:05:33.

doom and gloom, has lifted around the stadium. Leicester City have

:05:34.:05:37.

their first goal in 2017 in the Premier League. Having ended his

:05:38.:05:45.

nine match barren run, Jamie Vardy on target in Europe and in the

:05:46.:05:54.

Premier League. Matip finding Lallana. Mane. Liverpool looking for

:05:55.:06:00.

a quick response. Wijnaldum sliding it through. It could be a chance.

:06:01.:06:06.

Coutinho. A fine block by Kasper Schmeichel. A good stop by

:06:07.:06:11.

Leicester's goalkeeper with Liverpool threatening to get back on

:06:12.:06:17.

level terms. A vital stop. There as dad, watching on. What a keeper he

:06:18.:06:18.

was! -- there is dad. Scuffed clearance from Matip. A

:06:19.:06:24.

challenge by Clyne. Ndidi getting up well. Albrighton.

:06:25.:06:49.

Headed away by Milner. As far as Drinkwater. What a goal! Fantastic

:06:50.:06:52.

strike from Danny Drinkwater. What a finish. Just look at this.

:06:53.:07:02.

Ndidi initially getting up quite well. Albrighton with the cross.

:07:03.:07:08.

Headed away by James Milner. First-time. He absolutely leathered

:07:09.:07:15.

that home. Mignolet not within a mile of it. Like a missile.

:07:16.:07:24.

Leicester 2-0 Liverpool. Danny Drinkwater has scored his first goal

:07:25.:07:30.

of the season. I'm sure he will have plenty to say in a couple of minutes

:07:31.:07:33.

when he gets the players back in the dressing room. Milner. Lallana.

:07:34.:07:38.

Emre Can teeing it up. Fingertip save by Schmeichel. APPLAUSE

:07:39.:07:48.

He couldn't take any chances. Good save. So far, so good for the

:07:49.:07:53.

caretaker. Liverpool are going to have to

:07:54.:08:00.

produce a dramatically improved second-half performance if they are

:08:01.:08:02.

going to get anything here. Nathaniel Clyne has a bit of space.

:08:03.:08:08.

Firmino ahead of him, Mane on the near side. Lallana well forward.

:08:09.:08:12.

Milner on the edge of the box. In towards Milner. A shot from

:08:13.:08:18.

Coutinho. A sharp save from Schmeichel.

:08:19.:08:22.

Coutinho spreading that shot through.

:08:23.:08:29.

Ndidi intercepts. Albrighton sends Vardy away. It fizzes over the top

:08:30.:08:39.

of Emre Can's head. Okazaki into the centre. Mahrez will keep it in.

:08:40.:08:53.

Lovely interchange between the pair of them. Superb play. What a lovely

:08:54.:08:59.

goal! It's absolutely brilliant from Leicester City. Shades of a year

:09:00.:09:05.

ago. Finished off by Vardy. Beautifully created on the near

:09:06.:09:10.

side. It's very hard to see Liverpool coming back from this.

:09:11.:09:12.

Mahrez keeping the ball in play. They worked it well. The cross was

:09:13.:09:28.

precise. Vardy's finish was out of reach. Its turning into quite a

:09:29.:09:36.

night for Leicester City. Three goals would seemingly have them

:09:37.:09:39.

heading for three points which would lift them out of the bottom three.

:09:40.:09:42.

And up into 15th place in the table. This has not gone according to plan

:09:43.:09:51.

at all from Liverpool's point of view. Mane.

:09:52.:09:59.

Lovely touch from Firmino, collected by Adam Lallana. Kept out by

:10:00.:10:02.

Schmeichel. Schmeichel without a clean sheet

:10:03.:10:11.

since the 2nd of January against Middlesbrough. He's been in fine

:10:12.:10:17.

form so far this evening. Claudio Ranieri's name echoes around the

:10:18.:10:23.

stadium. As the Leicester City fans pay their respects to the man who

:10:24.:10:26.

was in charge when they won the championship last May.

:10:27.:10:30.

Midway through the second half, Liverpool are going to mount some

:10:31.:10:38.

sort of comeback. They need to start pretty quickly. Emre Can's done well

:10:39.:10:44.

here. Coutinho! Liverpool are on the board. He walks through there and

:10:45.:10:50.

walked it home. Leicester 3-1 Liverpool. We at the midway point of

:10:51.:10:56.

the second half. Emre Can created it and Coutinho coolly finished.

:10:57.:11:08.

Lucas just getting their ahead of Vardy that here comes Riyadh Mahrez.

:11:09.:11:17.

He's away from his man. It's Mahrez. Still going. Drinkwater! APPLAUSE

:11:18.:11:23.

Not far from a fourth. Liverpool chase the game and the more that

:11:24.:11:28.

happens, the more chances appear for Leicester City.

:11:29.:11:31.

Firmino. Finding a bit of space. The shots just came off the fingertips

:11:32.:11:43.

of Schmeichel! Luckily for him it went wide of the post this is how

:11:44.:11:48.

close Liverpool went. To a second goal.

:11:49.:11:51.

A look of the watch from Michael Oliver. Matip for Liverpool. WHISTLE

:11:52.:12:00.

After all the turbulence of recent days following the sacking of

:12:01.:12:06.

Claudio Ranieri, you have to say Leicester City looks like a

:12:07.:12:10.

completely different team tonight. This was likely side we saw last

:12:11.:12:13.

season, the side that lifted the title. They've seen off Liverpool

:12:14.:12:18.

and they did it with two goals from Jamie Vardy and a piledriver from

:12:19.:12:23.

Danny Drinkwater. Leicester City, three points in the bag, are out of

:12:24.:12:27.

the bottom three. Crisis, what crisis?

:12:28.:12:32.

A big night for you and Leicester City as a whole. Couldn't have gone

:12:33.:12:37.

much better, the way the team performed and the crowd reacted?

:12:38.:12:41.

Yeah, from the word go, you could see the intensity and the passion

:12:42.:12:47.

was there. We had a great start and all credit to the fans, they got

:12:48.:12:51.

behind the team early doors. There was a bit of a worry from some

:12:52.:12:55.

quarters how they would react to the criticism that's been levelled at

:12:56.:12:59.

the players of the last few days. Fair play to them, they got behind

:13:00.:13:03.

them from the word go. A nice touch from the crowd, on 65 minutes

:13:04.:13:07.

towards Claudio It was lovely, they were excellent tonight because they

:13:08.:13:12.

got behind the team from the start but played respect to Claudio

:13:13.:13:15.

Ranieri. If ever there was a night to help each other it was night and

:13:16.:13:22.

it showed. Simple things you learn, pass, move, talk. As a young player

:13:23.:13:26.

you learn it. Stick with it. It was always going to be tough but we

:13:27.:13:29.

showed what we are capable of. That wasn't what you had in mind tonight

:13:30.:13:33.

but what are your thoughts on the performance?

:13:34.:13:40.

Yes. A bad start. Bad in the middle. And bad at the end, if you want.

:13:41.:13:54.

Yes, we had a few, a little bit better than average moments. But

:13:55.:13:59.

most of the situations were not even average. With our targets, our

:14:00.:14:06.

quality and skills, we need to perform better. You could lose

:14:07.:14:11.

football games because of bad luck and things, referee decisions or

:14:12.:14:14.

something but you have got to deliver and we did not, again. Did

:14:15.:14:19.

you feel a bit stunned about some of the things that had been said and

:14:20.:14:23.

accusations made in recent days? I think there has been a lot of unfair

:14:24.:14:29.

stuff written lately and the reaction from everyone, not me

:14:30.:14:32.

personally but most of the squad. It has got us fired up in a good way to

:14:33.:14:36.

put the reaction on the pitch which we have done. We've got the three

:14:37.:14:42.

points and look forward to the next game on Saturday. Was it like

:14:43.:14:46.

watching the lustre of last season? It was, we have hardly seen that

:14:47.:14:51.

team all season. Best in every department tonight. Liverpool could

:14:52.:14:55.

not live with them. They flew out of the blocks as Jamie Bardy and drink

:14:56.:15:00.

water but said. As if they had a point to prove. Probably to the

:15:01.:15:03.

media more than anything else. They played like champions tonight. They

:15:04.:15:07.

had been like pussycats since the start of the season and they were

:15:08.:15:12.

like Tigers. It was all there tonight, the workrate, the pressure

:15:13.:15:16.

they put Liverpool under. The first 15 minutes, Liverpool could hardly

:15:17.:15:20.

get out of the box. It was a transformation in their performance.

:15:21.:15:25.

And between the years, basically. They want it. They

:15:26.:16:08.

might have thought they were trying for their previous manager but not

:16:09.:16:12.

compared to what we have seen tonight. Jamie Vardy particularly at

:16:13.:16:14.

the top of the team, every single one of them first to the ball,

:16:15.:16:16.

carrying Liverpool in possession and just too strong. It was just

:16:17.:16:19.

everywhere, good contact, they were quite brilliant. Look at the central

:16:20.:16:21.

defender again. Back to his best. Morgan alongside him as well #FUL

:16:22.:16:23.

LSTOP Christian Fuchs was like a machine, the tackles he made. And

:16:24.:16:26.

that energy served them well. They made 31 tackles tonight, the most in

:16:27.:16:29.

the Premier League game this season. Was 23 tackles this season last

:16:30.:16:31.

season, 16 this everything on one but you cannot judge everything on

:16:32.:16:33.

one I suppose I'm saying you that for the previous manager, or it is

:16:34.:16:36.

because the previouswhy did they not do that for the previous manager, or

:16:37.:16:39.

it is because the previous manager has gone while. They were saying

:16:40.:16:41.

tonight but that performance that it is about the manager we all thought

:16:42.:16:44.

from the outside but it was a collective thing and maybe it was.

:16:45.:16:46.

But tonight their necks from the line, they vindicated the owners

:16:47.:16:48.

getting rid of the manager and leaves a bad taste in the mouth.

:16:49.:16:51.

Because Ranieri, I am certain there was peace and red wine flowing

:16:52.:16:54.

wherever he was because he would not have believed what he saw. A

:16:55.:16:56.

transformation in their performance. I think for a long time there was a

:16:57.:16:58.

breakdown in communication with the manager. Rumours that they wanted a

:16:59.:17:01.

change and we do not happen -- we do not know what happened in the

:17:02.:17:05.

dressing room. But they showed tonight that the club made the right

:17:06.:17:10.

decision. Winning last season does not make you the best man to stay in

:17:11.:17:16.

the season. Let's talk about the second and third goals from

:17:17.:17:19.

Leicester, particularly quality. If you put in the Maier then things

:17:20.:17:23.

will happen for you. In the past they tried to play and started

:17:24.:17:27.

working but by then it was too late. Another long ball, that was the

:17:28.:17:32.

theme of the night. Liverpool cannot clear the ball. Drink water with a

:17:33.:17:36.

big plastic finish. I thought he took it a bit too early, and really

:17:37.:17:41.

high but fantastic. He had a fantastic game in midfield. Right on

:17:42.:17:48.

it. That was a wonderful strike. If he was not there tonight, and he was

:17:49.:17:53.

scooping balls in. Jamie Vardy just electric running into the channel.

:17:54.:17:59.

This is not the best of crosses but Mariners keeps the ball alive. Now a

:18:00.:18:03.

brilliant piece of football, the ball coming back to Christian Fuchs

:18:04.:18:08.

and we see a bit of quality of skill. Just his composure, coming

:18:09.:18:13.

back on his weaker foot and what a bore it is. And Jamie Vardy are not

:18:14.:18:17.

back to his best, but his instinct there again tonight. So much quality

:18:18.:18:22.

in that goal. Shakespeare has come in as well. He's saying I think I'm

:18:23.:18:27.

good enough to take over, you wonder what was going on with him as well.

:18:28.:18:31.

It has to be said because that is how it looks from the outside, does

:18:32.:18:36.

he fancied yourself as manager. He's certainly got the right reaction

:18:37.:18:40.

from his team. Not to bang on about it but you would not judge it just

:18:41.:18:44.

on the one game. Of course not but it is a step in the right direction.

:18:45.:18:49.

If they had not been the winners tonight, they're still in trouble

:18:50.:18:52.

but that was a huge win against a good Liverpool side even though they

:18:53.:18:55.

did not play well tonight. He could not have done any more tonight. Did

:18:56.:19:00.

Liverpool help Leicester in the way that they defended? They allowed

:19:01.:19:07.

Jamie Vardy to get in? If you put Liverpool under pressure and do not

:19:08.:19:12.

let them play, give them time on the ball every ball from a wide area,

:19:13.:19:19.

there is that height advantage. And Lucas, not his natural position but

:19:20.:19:23.

this is just too easy. There has to be a bit -- a better understanding

:19:24.:19:29.

with the partner. Mignolet makes the save and they just get caught. You

:19:30.:19:34.

know about the pace of Jamie Vardy, do not give him as much. That is his

:19:35.:19:39.

signature tune, Jamie Vardy running on your shoulder and you've got to

:19:40.:19:44.

do your best. He should not have been put in that position. Then you

:19:45.:19:49.

question the manager because Jamie Vardy is running free. Lucas just

:19:50.:19:54.

does not want to play. Look at this, Okazaki making the run. He said the

:19:55.:19:58.

ball out to Jamie Vardy in the first place. The criticism should not be

:19:59.:20:05.

aimed at Lucas but either the manager for putting him in that

:20:06.:20:12.

position, or the owner for not giving them enough motive. I do not

:20:13.:20:17.

think you can be too harsh on Lucas. He should have done a bit better.

:20:18.:20:22.

But it is not his natural position. He is now over the age of 30 and not

:20:23.:20:28.

the quickest. When they play on the counterattack, with the pace of

:20:29.:20:31.

Jamie Vardy and Mariners, they're dangerous. So we do not know why

:20:32.:20:40.

they kept Ragnar Klavan on the bench. Jurgen Klopp afterwards was

:20:41.:20:47.

despondent talk about how averaged his team was. Usually you get

:20:48.:20:51.

something positive from him. Coutinho scored a consolation goal

:20:52.:20:57.

but really almost a gutless performance from Liverpool but we

:20:58.:21:00.

have not seen for some time. Buying players is not the be all and end

:21:01.:21:04.

all but under the tenure of Jurgen Klopp Liverpool have made a profit

:21:05.:21:08.

in the transfer market. In this age of money flooding into football, you

:21:09.:21:15.

would expect a couple of local sides... I think what they want its

:21:16.:21:18.

results on the pitch and it is getting that balance between

:21:19.:21:23.

spending, speculating to accumulate on the pitch, one win in seven since

:21:24.:21:27.

Christmas, at the halfway stage of the season second in the table and

:21:28.:21:32.

since then the wheels have come. They brought in a couple of central

:21:33.:21:39.

defenders, Ragnar Klavan, I think the main position is in holding

:21:40.:21:48.

midfield. If you compare Drinkwater and Ndidi, and look what Wijnaldum

:21:49.:21:54.

differ Liverpool, that is the big difference. And they need to address

:21:55.:21:55.

that now. After their Europa League exit

:21:56.:21:57.

at Wembley in midweek, Spurs returned to the home comforts

:21:58.:22:00.

of White Hart Lane to face Stoke. After their win big disappointment

:22:01.:22:14.

on Thursday Spurs are back home, they will tell whether one in nine

:22:15.:22:19.

games in a row. Starting a key stretcher fixtures for them, for in

:22:20.:22:24.

a row at White Hart Lane. An unchanged side from the draw against

:22:25.:22:30.

Gent. Dele Alli had a red card but that does not affect his selection

:22:31.:22:35.

for domestic games. He has scored a number of goals in the last meetings

:22:36.:22:40.

between these teams. As has Harry Kane. Four stoke it is the same side

:22:41.:22:44.

that last played two weeks ago against Crystal Palace. Since then

:22:45.:22:48.

they have been to Dubai for a training break. There was a pause

:22:49.:22:54.

for homework home favourite Peter Crouch. Under different reaction for

:22:55.:22:56.

Charlie Adam whose career in English game has seen him score three times

:22:57.:23:00.

against birds, miss a penalty against them and twice be sent off

:23:01.:23:06.

against them. Vertonghen.

:23:07.:23:19.

Davis was on the dash. The left wing to the edge of the box. Mousa

:23:20.:23:31.

Dembele now. Harry Kane. Dele Alli, Christian Eriksen. Harry came full

:23:32.:23:46.

stop he just does not miss. -- Harry Kane. He had to hit it quickly and

:23:47.:23:52.

into the Stoke goal. It takes him on to 24 this season. And we're not yet

:23:53.:23:58.

into March. Since he returned from his ankle injury in November he has

:23:59.:24:03.

scored 18 goals in I was going to say 20 games but 19 and a bit. The

:24:04.:24:16.

manager enjoyed that. Ramadan Sobhi. Superstock from Lloris. And tonight

:24:17.:24:24.

with a chance of any follow-up, Vertonghen getting it. Crouch 's

:24:25.:24:32.

offside. But the flag did not go up. A massive safe from Lloris.

:24:33.:24:44.

That is Walker. Eric Dier. He wins a corner. This is some game. Everyone

:24:45.:24:56.

back for Stoke. Alderweireld wins it for Spurs and Vertonghen, hits the

:24:57.:25:01.

bar. Getting on for three and half years since Vertonghen last scored.

:25:02.:25:06.

That would have been some way to get his name back on the sheet. A lovely

:25:07.:25:12.

touch for Kane and another beauty from him. Here is Christian Eriksen.

:25:13.:25:22.

Christian Eriksen this way and that. Blocked by Barnsley in the end.

:25:23.:25:27.

Which way is he going, Kane going for the goal. What an effort. And it

:25:28.:25:33.

only just missed. The frame of the goal that Vertonghen hit a minute

:25:34.:25:39.

ago. Spurs are absolutely sizzling. Kane upended by Erik Pieters. This

:25:40.:25:55.

is a cracking game. Whipping across the perfect cross,

:25:56.:25:59.

Christian Eriksen. Finding Walker. Walker fired that absolutely. Grant

:26:00.:26:07.

has to tip it over the top. Fire at will. Up towards Kane. Oh, yes. He

:26:08.:26:18.

does it again. On a hat-trick again. The confidence that must be surging

:26:19.:26:25.

through Harry Kane right now. Everything right about it, the

:26:26.:26:30.

timing, the accuracy. And he has made it 2- nil. The team came from

:26:31.:26:42.

2- nil down last season to score but this feels a little bit different.

:26:43.:26:48.

Dele Alli takes it away from Adam and just caught by Charlie Adam.

:26:49.:26:53.

Frustrated by the decision. Might be frustrated he did not get there at

:26:54.:27:00.

the right time. Christian Eriksen will leave it for Kane and deflected

:27:01.:27:07.

in! Another Harry Kane hat-trick. Another super Sunday for the Spurs

:27:08.:27:15.

striker. Looked on target to me. If it is on target with just the one

:27:16.:27:21.

deflection then it is Harry Kane's goal. And on their way to a big win

:27:22.:27:26.

and a big three points. Two more first-half minutes to play. Two

:27:27.:27:30.

minutes too many for his liking. Kane. Dele Alli running into the

:27:31.:27:44.

middle. Dele Alli! Four for Spurs. With the whole path to come. Having

:27:45.:27:54.

got through, always aware of where Dele Alli was moving into. Stoke

:27:55.:28:05.

getting a caning. Mauricio Pochettino not the type of coach to

:28:06.:28:12.

just coach -- coast the second half. Whelan. Arnautovic trying to make it

:28:13.:28:19.

is. Now after Vertonghen, a battle between the two. It is going to be a

:28:20.:28:24.

Stoke free kick. Arnautovic has earned that. Plenty of fight left in

:28:25.:28:29.

him. Adam Inan, headed out by Davies. -- Adam in. He did not

:28:30.:28:44.

intend to put it in like that. Davies misses but has another go.

:28:45.:28:54.

Adam has another go. Eric Dier got there too back it away. It warned

:28:55.:29:00.

for Lloris that it did not bounce into the path of Jo Allen. Kane.

:29:01.:29:09.

Winks outside. Kane. A shooting chance again. It would have been his

:29:10.:29:15.

fourth in the game but for a super stop. Lee Grant.

:29:16.:29:27.

Eriksen on the move down the right hand side. Walker flying forward to

:29:28.:29:35.

help him out if needed. In an goal but Grant stops his shot. But fully

:29:36.:29:43.

grant, it could have been six or seven for Spurs. Couldn't have done

:29:44.:29:45.

anything about the four did beat him. I feel good, fresh, ready to go

:29:46.:29:52.

in any game. I'm on a nice one form in the last couple of months.

:29:53.:29:55.

Hopefully until the end of the season I can keep that going. Let's

:29:56.:30:00.

see how many I can score. He's playing at a very good level. He's a

:30:01.:30:07.

fantastic player, one of the top strikers in the world.

:30:08.:30:11.

He deserves it. He's a great professional, a top man, I'm happy

:30:12.:30:18.

for him. My focus will always be on what we do. Spurs are a good team

:30:19.:30:23.

but if you allow them time and space, a good team, and you don't

:30:24.:30:26.

get up to the ball and affect the game, which we didn't in the first

:30:27.:30:30.

half, good players will hurt you. It's a long gap, ten points, to

:30:31.:30:35.

Chelsea. Is all you can do when your games? Not worry about them? True.

:30:36.:30:42.

It's a big gap. That moment, that period in the Premier League. But

:30:43.:30:48.

keep going and belief. You got the match ball at Foden and another

:30:49.:30:51.

today but you seemed to have a problem getting it, was the referee

:30:52.:30:56.

disputing your third? There was a bit of banter that it was a lucky

:30:57.:31:00.

third but it was on target. It snuck under the keeper. But a goal is a

:31:01.:31:05.

goal. I will happily take it. Pochettino says he is up there with

:31:06.:31:09.

the best in the world. Minutes per goal, Premier League history, third

:31:10.:31:14.

on that list, Harry Kane, scoring every 127 minutes. Only Aguero and

:31:15.:31:22.

Henry are ahead of him. Just because we can, Alan Shearer is in 12. Good

:31:23.:31:27.

for him on the graphic. Would you have liked to have marked Harry

:31:28.:31:31.

Kane? I would have liked it. I would have given him a difficult

:31:32.:31:35.

afternoon, perhaps more difficult than yesterday but he is now an

:31:36.:31:38.

outstanding talent. The biggest compliment I could pay him, he's a

:31:39.:31:44.

mixture between Teddy Sheringham and Alan Shearer. He hits the ball well

:31:45.:31:48.

and his movement, his Taligent is as good as Sheringham. Very important

:31:49.:31:51.

to Tottenham. -- his intelligence is. Let's look at his goals and his

:31:52.:31:57.

performance in general. He likes to strike the ball early if he can. He

:31:58.:32:04.

does. He is a very patient... Build-up. Excellent Tottenham team,

:32:05.:32:07.

playing three at the back, lots of options. It arrives at his feet and

:32:08.:32:14.

it is poor defending from Shawcross. He will punish you. A bit lucky,

:32:15.:32:19.

opportunist. He always finds the corners, he has that nasty habit.

:32:20.:32:24.

One thing he doesn't get enough credit for is his finishing. It is

:32:25.:32:27.

exceptional. It was a great strike. This is his second goal. Arnautovic,

:32:28.:32:33.

in no man's land. A very hard ball to hit on his weaker foot. He hits

:32:34.:32:39.

it as sweet as possible. The third one he gets lucky. I'm not sure why

:32:40.:32:45.

Stoker needs to put the ball out from 30 yards. It's a lucky goal.

:32:46.:32:51.

The girl from the corner of his left foot is fantastic. This is bad

:32:52.:33:00.

defending. Why is he so tight? He should be dropping off, dealing with

:33:01.:33:04.

it. Another set piece. That was their downfall. He is full of

:33:05.:33:09.

confidence. He has that bit of space. Now he wants to go after you

:33:10.:33:13.

with a type of shot like Shearer. Spurs fans adore him, obviously, but

:33:14.:33:23.

you are in a good position, do we give him enough credit in this

:33:24.:33:27.

country? Because he is English, do we not put him up with others? He's

:33:28.:33:34.

been doing it for a few seasons. We saw the list before with Henry,

:33:35.:33:38.

Aguero, van der Sar, these fantastic players. He gives so much more to

:33:39.:33:43.

the team. A lot of these players were poachers, goal-scorers but did

:33:44.:33:46.

not get involved. Setting the goals up. The way he holds the ball up,

:33:47.:33:52.

the fourth goal coming he brings so much more than just scoring goal. To

:33:53.:33:56.

move him to the next level, we need to get him to the next World Cup. He

:33:57.:34:01.

was poor at the Euros. He was taking corners for gods sake! Get him in

:34:02.:34:04.

the right position and he will produce. A quick one on Stoke, look

:34:05.:34:11.

at the start, all the teams above them have only taken five points

:34:12.:34:14.

above them. Against the teams below them, they get the majority of

:34:15.:34:19.

points. They need to toughen up, don't they? This is about where they

:34:20.:34:23.

are, comfortable middle of the table team. It is about making the next

:34:24.:34:28.

step. Mark Hughes is trying to bring in players comfortable on the ball

:34:29.:34:29.

but it is about balance. Time for Saturday's goals,

:34:30.:34:32.

starting at Stamford Bridge. Behind Fabregas. He managed to

:34:33.:34:54.

scramble it home. Chelsea have been picking their passes together over

:34:55.:34:59.

the last five or six minutes. Now they've managed to see their

:35:00.:35:00.

persistence paid off. Is there time for Swansea to lift

:35:01.:35:08.

one more ball in the direction of T-bill Courtois's goal? Taking

:35:09.:35:11.

plenty of time about it. Sigurdsson. Headed in. Right on the stroke of

:35:12.:35:20.

half-time. Fernando Llorente draws Swansea level.

:35:21.:35:26.

It's come at two Sigurdsson. He has passed Victor Moses. He tries to

:35:27.:35:34.

keep the ball from Azpilicueta, who he felt handled him. It does come

:35:35.:35:40.

off the outstretched arm of Azpilicueta. I think Chelsea might

:35:41.:35:43.

have got away with one. Fabregas. Pedro waiting for him. Now has a

:35:44.:35:49.

shot which has beaten Fabianski! Straight through the Swansea keeper.

:35:50.:35:55.

He really should have saved it. Chelsea won't mind how they scored

:35:56.:35:56.

it. Brilliant from Hazard. Scored by

:35:57.:36:15.

Diego Costa. That should wrap up the points for Chelsea. A warm hug of

:36:16.:36:18.

appreciation from goal-scorer to goal maker. It is that Chelsea combo

:36:19.:36:22.

again. Hazard and Costa. Maguire came in. Appeals for

:36:23.:36:45.

handball. It's been given. Penalty. A good spot from Martin Atkinson.

:36:46.:36:49.

The captain, Tom Huddlestone, has the responsibility. Against Tom

:36:50.:36:54.

Heaton. It could be a big moment. It's in. Tom Heaton thought he kept

:36:55.:37:01.

it out. Relief for Huddlestone and Hull. 72 minutes gone and Hull have

:37:02.:37:06.

the lead. Brady. Keane! Would you believe it? The man

:37:07.:37:21.

who gave away the penalty at one end has equalised at the other. Just his

:37:22.:37:27.

second ever Premier League goal. And it's got Burnley back on terms.

:37:28.:37:41.

Cabaye! Bernardo got his body in the way. Van Aanholt on his right foot

:37:42.:37:50.

has put it in! Crystal Palace in front. Patrick van Aanholt's first

:37:51.:37:55.

goal for the club. Off his left foot, you would have backed him. Off

:37:56.:38:00.

his right, I think he's as surprised as anybody.

:38:01.:38:03.

Plenty of live football on the BBC over the next seven days.

And the Premier League Show will be back on Thursday.

:38:15.:38:20.

Here are the rest of Saturday's goals.

:38:21.:38:34.

Berkeley has made the run. Davies tries to find him. I am not sure it

:38:35.:38:40.

was aimed at Coleman bet he gets to it. Gueye! Everton score. In the

:38:41.:38:47.

blink of an eye, all Sunderland's excellent defensive work evaporates.

:38:48.:38:52.

Everton have been on top and they now have the lead.

:38:53.:38:55.

Defoe. Is this his moment? Jermain Defoe. Underside of the bar.

:38:56.:39:04.

Somehow, ever to escape. It just seemed like Defoe was waiting for

:39:05.:39:13.

such an opportunity and he is a ball's width away from giving

:39:14.:39:16.

Sunderland an equaliser -- somehow, Everton escape.

:39:17.:39:20.

Mirallas. On the counter. Lukaku. Has he got the legs on Oviedo? He

:39:21.:39:32.

has. Oviedo can't stop him. Pickford can't stop him. Romelu Lukaku. What

:39:33.:39:40.

a pivotal 60 seconds. At one end, the underside of the Bard denies

:39:41.:39:45.

Defoe, the other, Lukaku makes the game.

:39:46.:39:57.

That is cleverly switched away to Fraser on the outside! Penalty!

:39:58.:40:04.

Leaning down on the Bournemouth player, the West Brom defender.

:40:05.:40:09.

Bournemouth will have no concerns whatsoever about that. Josh King

:40:10.:40:16.

from the spot with the rain pouring down putting Bournemouth 1-0 up.

:40:17.:40:21.

What a great start for them and what an important weekend. If they can

:40:22.:40:25.

get a win it will open up a buffer zone to the bottom three. Chadli.

:40:26.:40:32.

Dawson. Deflected! 1-1! Big, big deflection. What a start we've had,

:40:33.:40:41.

two goals in the opening nine and a half minutes. Allowed to pick it up.

:40:42.:40:45.

His first of the season. One apiece. Dawson is in. McAuley Behind him.

:40:46.:40:56.

The goalkeeper blocked. What a mistake by the goalkeeper! How about

:40:57.:41:04.

this? For celebrations? McAuley. Yes he was blocked off but the punch was

:41:05.:41:07.

absolutely feeble. Lifted into the roof of the net by the defender.

:41:08.:41:10.

Horrible goalkeeping error. Through ball looking for Deeney. Got

:41:11.:41:28.

a block in. He goes down, penalty. It was clumsy. The referee pointed

:41:29.:41:37.

to the spot. Inside two minutes. Of his last eight penalty kicks, Troy

:41:38.:41:43.

Deeney, with one blot of pocket top copy book, in April. He doesn't miss

:41:44.:41:49.

this one. He buries it in the bottom corner. Deeney 's eighth of the

:41:50.:41:53.

campaign. The perfect penalty from Troy Deeney.

:41:54.:41:57.

Can Ayew help it on? He can. Picked out Antonio. He hasn't lost it yet.

:41:58.:42:09.

It is in for Ayew. West Ham United level the score at 1-1. And Andre

:42:10.:42:18.

Ayew as a Saab, gets his second in claret and blue. West Ham get the

:42:19.:42:24.

equaliser that there will second half dominance merits. -- on as a

:42:25.:42:28.

substitute. The pass wasn't good enough for him. WHISTLE

:42:29.:42:34.

Antonius flipped to the ground. Watford players felt he handled it.

:42:35.:42:38.

It's a yellow card and having already been booked, Antonio's off.

:42:39.:42:44.

More frustration for Slaven Bilic. Let's have a look. Definite

:42:45.:42:46.

handball. Silly from Antonio. This is how the Premier League

:42:47.:42:50.

table looks this evening. Spurs' win over Stoke yesterday

:42:51.:42:57.

means the gap between themselves and Chelsea is now ten points. Liverpool

:42:58.:43:01.

couldn't make any ground up after defeat at Leicester City. Manchester

:43:02.:43:07.

United not in league action this weekend. Leicester's winter night

:43:08.:43:12.

against Liverpool take them out of the bottom three. That relegation

:43:13.:43:16.

zone is occupied by Sunderland, Hull and Palace -- win tonight.

:43:17.:43:18.

So the post Ranieri era at Leicester has begun.

:43:19.:43:22.

COMMENTATOR: Great chance, 1-0, Leicester! Drinkwater! What a goal!

:43:23.:43:52.

Absolutely brilliant from Leicester City!

:43:53.:43:57.

Coutinho. Liverpool are on the board. Crisis, what crisis?
