28/08/2016 Match of the Day 2

Two games on the way before the Premier League puts its feet up

Danny Murphy and Martin Keown will guide you through the action.

We start at the Etihad, with Manchester City

For the home side, it's events off the pitch that have attracted

Pep's purge has frozen out Joe Hart and Yaya Toure, along

with Samir Nasri, Eliaquim Mangala and Wilfried Bony.

West Ham's move to the Olympic Stadium has been overshadowed

by an early exit from Europe and injuries to key players.

Slaven's sicklist has included ?20 million signing Andre Ayew,

Aaron Cresswell, Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini and Sofiane Feghouli,

while star man Dmitiri Payet has barely featured.

The transfer window shuts on Wednesday, but in the meantime,

A number of teams have a new look and feel about them this season but

perhaps non-taught about quite so much as Manchester City. Change is

happening rapidly under Pep Guardiola. Today's City team shows

two changes from last weekend. Kolarov is replaced. And the two

goal substitute at Stoke City Nolito comes in with Jesus Navas making

way. Well this time also two different. Byram replaced. And they

start with a different shape. Three of five at the back with Michail

Antonio and Masuaku bringing the web.

West Ham hoping they can repeat what they did here just under a year ago.

A 2-1 West Ham win. Otamendi into the tackle allowing Aguero to shoot

and not missed by Bartra. Argentinian pressure did for West

Ham. Nicolas Otamendi played his part here, he is in quickly and

Aguero does everything quickly. Nice bit of work from Masuaku. Starting

the move that web -- that led to the West and clearance, Noble gave it

away. Silva gives it a go. Shots firing in the goal of Adrian. Four

minutes in, everybody having a go. Absolute onslaught from the home

team. Fernandinho. Silva. Valencia could not stop him. Nolito, pulled

back and scored by Sterling. Wonderful goal. Look at the team

grouped together. Look where the move began. David Silva was able to

withstand the pressure from Valencia, a perfectly waited ball to

Nolito and the same goes for his past. He sees where Raheem Sterling

guess, and what a fine finish. And that is the first smile on the face

of Pep Guardiola today and it is Manchester City one, West Ham zero.

Slaven Bilic is having a very difficult start to his West Ham

season. Lovely pass from Cabellero to De Bruyne who is taken out. He

skipped past Masuaku. An angry look on the face of the referee Andre

Mariner who does not want to book people if he does not have too, but

not left with much choice. Fernandinho. Now Sterling. It was

grabbed at by Valencia. David Silva coming across to exchange opinions

with Kevin de Bruyne. He will leave the free kick to the Belgian player,

and what a free kick! What a good header as well. Fernandinho makes it

two. It was all in the delivery, which was delicious! I do not think

Adrian has made a save yet but he has been beaten twice and could not

do much about either goal Manchester City have scored. Look at this from

Kevin de Bruyne. That is just where Fernandinho wanted it. Nobody

watches him. In between them all. Not every Manchester City goal will

be brought about by pass after pass and a side finish. Some will be

scored the old way, Fernandinho follows Raheem Sterling in getting

his first goal of the season. 2-0. A long afternoon ahead for the

Hammers, you feel. Zabaleta digs it out. Willing. --

for Sterling. He is filed by Masuaku. He has already been booked.

The game is only 20 minutes old. He is not going to go for this but he

is going to be told by Andre Mariner in no uncertain terms to watch his

step now. Yellow card, then another warning. Sterling running at you for

the rest of the day. Best of luck, after! Sterling, to Zabaleta. Nolito

court hi just outside the penalty area. Antonio going again with his

leg raised. I is only on the ball. And fine margins as well, right on

the line. De Bruyne fences this. His team-mates have got off the mark

with their first goals and he might feel it is his turn. He steps up,

very, very close. You see the way that ball dipped. It came down

sharply. Just as it came over the crossbar. Noble. That is a really

good ball and clever movement by Antonio, who is quickly back to his

feet. Yaya Toure. His ball in to Fletcher. He could not quite the

time the jump for the header. West Ham's best moment of the game thanks

to that pass from Mark Noble and that run from Michail Antonio.

Former hammers boss Sam Allardyce will name his England squad tonight

and Mark Noble is said to be on the verge of being in it and I would not

think Antonio was far from consideration either. Manchester

City's injured captain watches on, not long before he is back in

action. He might even be in contention straight after the

international break for the Manchester derby, a fixture that

Vincent Kompany absolutely loves! De Bruyne finds Nolito. He has got

David Silva to help. Silva. De Bruyne, and it is wide, with the

goal at his mercy. This is what we keep hearing about Pep Guardiola's

sides and what we have seen before with Barcelona and Bayern Munich. De

Bruyne took it on, great ball to Nolito. Look at the awareness of

Silva and Manchester City nearly had a goal similar to the one that made

it 1-0 from Raheem Sterling. Yes, how did it mess? Stones. A ripple of

applause for the way that City are moving the ball around. Nolito.

Aguero. Silva. Nolito. James Collins with the sliding stop. We were

building up to the goal of the century, never mind goal of the

season! Football worthy of applause. Slaven Bilic has made 1/2-time

change. I think that means Byram at right wingback and Michail Antonio

pushes further forward. Zabaleta. Sterling. Unfairly blocked by

Masuaku. Andre Mariner is going to walk across via the West Ham

left-back and this really is final warning. Another chance for De

Bruyne. To put in a ball that is devilishly difficult to defend. West

Ham trying to hold the line as high as they dare. In from De Bruyne.

Good header away from Reid and Nolito tries to find the gap, and I

thought he had for a minute. So did Adrian in the West Ham goal. The

side of the net. Collins. Masuaku. Has to go back. Masuaku. He has done

well against Zabaleta. And West Ham have a goal back! Michail Antonio,

the man who headed the winner against Bournemouth a week ago has

given them genuine hope here today, in a game that at one stage looked

as though it was going to bring them a pasting. Masuaku lucky to stay on

the field, some might say, he does really well against Zabaleta. He

puts the right ball in, curling away from the stranded Cabellero, put off

by Fletcher's jump in front of him. Another back post headed goal from

Antonio as of a week ago and it has made the Pep Guardiola hopping mad.

We have got a game on here. Manchester City have had to make a

change, John Stones with an eye injury, Sir replaced by Kolarov.

Kouyate, a spring in every West Ham step. Antonio, Fletcher points the

way in the middle. Blocked by De Bruyne, West Ham corner. What a

change in atmosphere! The corner of Lanzini. Good corner. Not dealt with

very well by City. Noble. Over everyone. Is there something in that

for West Ham? Judging by some of what we have seen this season,

guess, there was. The fabric of Antonia's shirt being stretched, not

pulling himself. Well picked off. At opposition. To Bruyne. Aguero.

Aguero! That is the danger. As West Ham get more confident and try to

creep over the halfway line. And they are open to that quick City

burst right back at them. Very different body language about Slaven

Bilic now. Prowling up and down his technical area, pointing the way. A

good half-time substitution made by Slaven Bilic that has made a real

difference to his team. The noise is West Ham noise.

And that is called for from Aguero. Had that been spotted by the

referee, he would have been in trouble -- uncalled for. He has

lashed out in frustration at Lanzini holding him. He has caught an elbow

in his throat. -- at Winston Reid. Nasri. Aguero. Nasri. Blocked by

Adrian. It is a great clearance by Byram that looked as if it would

spin into the goal. He kept going back towards the line to keep it

out. Big, big save from Adrian. Super goalkeeping and good work from

the full-back. Pep Guardiola has a bead on that distinctive forehead.

Silva to stop that worrying. Sterling. They have not got it yet.

Raheem Sterling knows what a chance he had to make it absolutely sure,

the three points. That should have been flagged offside. Kolarov.

Backed himself to get away from Calleri and he did that. Fernandinho

finds De Bruyne, Zabaleta charging forward. Nasri, 12 Silva. Crashes

against the post. He has beaten Adrian and somehow

he's managed to slide it in, so coolly done by Raheem Sterling. I

third goal that means that Manchester City have the three

points for sure. Here's Silva and Sterling stayed onside. We thought

it was a question of who he could tee up but he wasn't thinking about

that. He just waited for Collins to leave a hole and that is through the

eye of a needle. Two goals for Raheem Sterling this afternoon. He

has put in a sparkling display and Manchester City's 100% start under

Pep Guardiola goes on. Man City three, West Ham one.

Took a risk jumping like that, the goal open, the bald troubles behind.

Had that happened at 2-1, can you imagine how fast Man City's hearts

would have been beating? It is three wins out of three for Pep Guardiola.

It is five wins out of five across all competitions for Manchester

City's new man at the top. And City will go to the international break

ahead of the Manchester derby in fine spirits. Manchester City three,

West Ham United one. In the first 45 minutes is that your

team's best performance in the Premier League? In the Premier

League, yes, in Bucuresti was brilliant as well but in the Premier

League first 25 minutes, it was good in the second but the goal from West

Ham, anything can happen and the heads of the players, you know, it's

not easy. But they did it, they did very well. They were much better in

the first half, they started better. I'm not talking only about the

quality on the ball, that we knew, but they were quicker, more

aggressive and they were better in on the second balls and everything

so we gave them way too much space and time on the ball, so they are

different class of course. In the second half it changed. Of course

the ball helped and put them under a bit of pressure. The second half,

I'm more happy. Both goals you scored you were mobbed by your

team-mates. Everyone seems to be enjoying their football so far this

season? Yes, not to say we weren't enjoying it last season but it's

been a real energetic start the season. Everyone is really pumped.

It's demanding, the running, intensive, we know it's for the

better. When we win the ball we are closer to tour the goal and can

score. What has the first few weeks been like? As well or better than

you expected? Better, I'm so optimistic in the way we see many

good things about the players, but I didn't expect a short time playing

many things, I didn't expect that. I said before in the last press

Conference that means how good they are, so with quality intelligent

play as possible. Listening to those interviews, Martin, for all Slaven

Bilic spoke about his players, you don't think he actually helped them

with how he set the love? Listen, there's a lot of things to win a

football match, determination, you have to be up for it, but the

platform could have been better for them and as soon as they set up with

a back three it became a five and Guardiola there I think he took over

from the tactical point of view, he played with the wide players very

wide and Aguero write down the middle and at that point that took

all five players back and it became a night more for West Ham. West Ham

have played three at about before, they did it successfully last

season, beat Spurs by playing three at the back or five at the back so

is Martin right to say body armour took advantage of West Ham's system?

Yes, she worked it out really cleverly, he's a thinker. What West

Ham did as they ended up in the first minute on the back foot and

couldn't get any momentum at all. If you see here it's not a 3Com it's a

five. They're in a straight line. It's easy to play against. What did

Pep Guardiola do? Said that men should stay wide, make the pitch

big, that's what they did, wider than the early games. It left holes

for Silva, De Bruyne and Aguero to get on the ball and make things

happen. Five minutes later exactly the same, the midfield are not

spotting danger and trying to help. Look how wide they are, stretching

the pitch, again, the spaces. For half an hour they were sensational.

Yes, this is the goal, an overview of the goal. It's about that

structure. You have the five and four and one up top and it's about

keeping that midfield protection in front of you. Mrs Valencia, I think

really at this point he should pass him on, keep a shape to the team --

this is Valencia. Instead, he runs at Silva. Again, Toure, the more

compact. They didn't get the midfield back. Look at Noble,

quarterly, get into position and once Silva gets into that pocket,

and Collins here, they are playing three at the back so you know you

have cover behind you, Collins has to come out there and engage, Reid

was behind him to give that protection if he needs it but he

doesn't do that. He let Silva run with the ball and if you look here

then are in this position, Antonio there should just got off, drop off

and deal with it. It leaves him in no man's land because Collins

doesn't come out. In the box looking at who is picking up, Matt Salako

not picking up, caught not getting gap back and that's a lovely finish

-- Arthur Masuaku not picking up. When you look at those clips,

another one on City, are they in essence two units of five? Is that a

normal thing in football, but back four and Fernandinho on the front

five with the license to do whatever they want to do? A lot of coaches

will talk in that way, more the foreign managers, they say we'll

play a five and a five in effect, or a six under four is more usual

because she would have maybe two holding midfielders and about four

and let the other four be the players who cause the problems.

Formations look difference on TV at times. But from a high angle it

looks... If you look at the personnel, Sterling, De Bruyne,

Aguero, Silva, it's all attack minded players, so that's five

offences players to cause the damage and five who are going to think I

need to defend. The one you didn't mention is Nolito. That's why I left

it! Of course you did! I want to highlight him, Sterling was

brilliant today and his end product was fantastic. From the wide areas

City have liked and product and goals. What I like about this lad is

he is willing to running from behind, which stretches teams out,

he's clever on the ball, he was not the quickest, but the last couple of

weeks I like the fact he's willing to try to get shots off and score

goals, again willing to run with or without the ball and the cleverness

to keep its position in the team, keep that wits and stretch West Ham.

Does he make the right choice? Yes. Lovely little pass, a weighted pass

for Silva. As the game wore on, his influence got more when the game

went on. The timing of the run, knowing where the space is. What a

pick out this is. He's going to add real quality in the final third to

City and added to Sterling's goals, I gain, disguise on it, unlucky

this, a clever effort, wanting to score goals. Will he get back and do

a job defensively? Yes, he wins a tackle, doesn't panic on the ball.

Watch this for a little pass to Aguero. He is onside, by the way.

His contribution, obviously the two goals its intelligence. Him and

Sterling could be a massive plus four City. Sam Allardyce has named

his England squad. We'll discuss it further a little later on but

Michail Antonio has been brought into it and to give Martin his due,

it pains me to say it, but you did want to praise Antonio before

Allardyce put him in his England squad? I did because I think it was

a rough ride for him in the first half and if you're a player that's

played in the lower leagues and he has, he's had an unbelievable

journey to where he is now, he needed all that character today. We

will look at the good parts in the second half where he really improved

big-time. He wants to run. He is robust and rugged the way he is.

This is the part of the game where he has improved under Bilic. He's

calm and possession. He wanted it all the time at Sheffield Wednesday

of the -- Nottingham Forest to run at people but now we are building

the team, there's more to his game. He's intelligent, a good footballer,

powerful, a good athlete. He puts that into one package here. Look at

this for a leap. A great leap for the man. Far post ball, only one

winner there, Clichy doesn't even get off the ground. See that power.

The Premier League and he's been underrated but

certainly not by Sam Allardyce. He has come into in that type of

player, he deserves it. Sergio Aguero and the Winston Reid incident

which is all over social media. Partly I think because the next game

for Manchester City is Manchester United. So... I know what you want!

You don't know what I want! You do this every time! What do you two

thing? It's a difficult one. I personally think it's probably a

yellow card and the reason I say that is yes, he has a fling with his

arm. He catches him with his wrist, in his ad's apple which makes the

fact Reid goes down look worse, it's a frustration, it's a clip of the

arm. Its dangerous though. It is dangerous. Andre Marriner is

right... He's looking straight at it. If he's going to say he didn't

see it it's almost embarrassing because what was he looking at? If

he let plague one he was happy with it. They will wait to see what is in

Andrei Marriner's report and as we understand it would have to be

something in extreme circumstances for them to go against what is in

the referee's report, so if he had seen it would be very difficult for

them to go against it. He can't argue if he gets punished but it's

one of those situations where some referees, when they see it, would

say it's a red, and some wouldn't. It's one of those Dalek at once. The

big thing is the United game. -- it's a delicate one. It would be a

shame to miss that from a neutral's point of view. He's a different

class, Aguero, the top striker in the Premier League. Do you think the

Fiori would be greater if Diego Costa would have done that? Chelsea

fans are saying that. It's partly how we react to Diego Costa. There

is a clean up in the game so you wonder if the FA will try to step

in. It's ten years since Middlesbrough

won back-to-back away games Coincidentally, those victories

came against Sunderland, who they beat last week,

and then West Brom, Cost hosting emotions for Tony Pulis

and Aitor Karanka, West Brom frustrated on and off the pitch

while Middlesbrough satisfied -- Matt -- Middlesbrough are satisfied

with their start after seasons away from the Premier League. Out go

Berahino, Olsson and Gardner, income Galloway, a Premier League debut for

Everton, a first Premier League start for Sam Field, 18 years old

and recall the James McClean. They Middlesbrough have left-back

problems with Friend and Fabio ruled out, so Daniel Ayala comes into

defence. That's the only change that -- from the team that beat

Sunderland last weekend. Nsue, Stuani, the hero of last

weekend, Uruguayan. Not a particularly good ball from him,

comfortable for Fletcher. A decent run from James McClean. He's seen

the space, he's still going. It was a very well timed tackle. Really

positive run from James McClean. Recalled to the starting line-up

today by Tony Pulis. Barragan had to time that perfectly and did.

Neatly done by McLean. The first time from Fletcher, it's a lovely

ball, McClean blocked by Guzan and Galloway on the follow-up. He had an

acute angle, neatly works from West Brom. McClean at the heart of it.

Lovely vision from Darren Fletcher. McClean denied by Guzan at the end

of it. Saido Berahino left amongst the substitutes today by Tony Pulis,

there does remain the possibility this could be the last time he's

involved in a West Brom squad. A nice header from Field. A free

header for Rondon. Wasn't forward but he found a bit of space there,

the top scorer of last season, slightly behind him. Amongst the

West Brom substitutes today, K Wilson, 16 years, 169 days old, born

in Solihull. If he were to appear he would be the first player to play a

Premier League born in the year 2000. Field stood his ground, the

teenager. Here goes Galloway, neatly done. The shot was a rather tame one

from the on loan Everton fullback. His first appearance today in a

Premier League since last December for Everton. An opening for himself,

really, satisfying start for him to Premier League life having been

unbeaten in their final ten games in the last season. Evans assessing the

situation. He has picked out Galloway, an early cross from him.

Rondon, the way this game has gone that was a fairly big chance. Early

delivery from Galloway, he got away, Rondon, there was a tug of his

shirts there as well. Just watch Gibson there. Paul Rondon -- people

Rondon right back. -- people Rondon right back. Deeper this time, Guzan

backpedalling, and other West Brom corner. Four points from 6044 Aitor

Karanka, more than Middlesbrough's last eight Premier seasons, at the

beginning of them. He missed it, add as did Rondon at the back post. Not

convincing from Brad Guzan. Time now for Darren Fletcher to

assess the situation. Phillips. Deflected off Gibson. West Bromwich

corner. More positive from the home team. Early strike from Matt

Phillips. Bought in the Summer from Queen's Park Rangers. Phillips,

corner. Header from Dawson. He could not quite guided on target. Craig

Dawson is a threat in these areas, that is how close it was. Here comes

the first change. Leko. 17, and 126 days. Not even the youngest

substitute today for West Bromwich Albion. He replaces James McClean.

Berahino is being made to wait, what is going through his mind? He did

not start and he cannot get on. Transfer window closing on

Wednesday. Rondon. Lifted in by Field. Away by Barragan. Clayton.

Middlesbrough have five forward here. Downing. Still Stewart

Downing. Nsue. Phillips did well. A West Brom throw. The West Brom

substitute Jonathan Leko is down and has a problem. Only on the pitch the

four minutes. This header here. So eventually, Berahino is going to be

introduced. Unfortunately, the substitute has to be substituted for

West Bromwich. A mixed reception, I have to say,

from the West Bromwich supporters when Berahino came on. Only the next

3.5 days will tell as if that is the last time they will see him in a

West Bromwich shirt. Linked up with Barragan, still Barragan. He has put

it in to Stuani. Just about held it in the end. Middlesbrough's first

shot on target in the 73rd minute. It feels like a football match!

Downing. Barragan's cross, good defending from Galloway. He has had

a very tidy afternoon, the on loan Everton defender. Downing's corner.

Jumping, almost came to Stuani. In writing -- MIT scramble, finally

gathered by Foster. This could have gone anywhere and been anything --

MIT. Now Downing. That was always

drifting foster's left-hand post. It was a difficult game for both of

us but the game, 1.4 as is massive. Because when we are in the Premier

league and we know how tough every game is, we have to try to add point

as soon as possible -- but one point is massive. This first part of the

league with five points on the table is really good.

They are a smashing group of lads, this team of players is still here

from when I'd took over nearly two years ago and they are a great group

of players. They work and give everything. We are desperately keen

to get five players in, I keep talking about working hard behind

the scenes and as you have seen today, we need those players. We

need that little bit of quality, little bit more mobility. And we are

working hard and hopefully we can do it.

The performances are there, the results are there, and now we have

two weeks in the transfer market to recover the players who are injured.

It is wait by the phone time, a crucial three days for the manager?

Not just for the manager but the dressing room and supporters and

everybody connected to the club. How helpful are you of getting some

business done? Even if we were signing someone in two minutes, I

still would not tell you. It think it is important for me when you are

dealing with other clubs and players at other clubs, you keep quiet about

it just to let the clubs do the business. Then you can talk about

them when you have signed them. Do not lose your phone charger! No!

West Bromwich this evening close to signing Nacer Chadli from Spurs for

?30 million and have triggered the release feed for the match of from

Malaga. ?50 million. We store the statistics and it suggested 20 shots

in that game, it did not feel like it! -- we saw. We will focus on the

defensive side for West Bromwich. They had another clean sheet. 23

clean sheets in 59 since Tony Pulis has taken over. That deserves

credit. That is really difficult to do in the Premier league. I have got

to mention the young lad Field, it is important to the club is bringing

young players in. Very mature and cultured. Kept the ball well and

deserves great credit. Defensively, they set up at home like they do

away. I went to the Palace game on the opening day and they did a well.

Mix the game on set play 1-0. Play Middlesbrough at home, can you be

more on the front foot or does Tony Pulis think, I do not have the legs

or athleticism in the team to press teams and go after them because they

play through us? He plays percentages and he drills them to

dropping back and letting the opposition have the ball. Credit to

Middlesbrough, they played out nicely from the back and they are a

decent side. But they did make a conscious effort to drop off behind

the ball and protect their goal. There were occasions when West

Bromwich did press higher on the front foot. I have played like this

in the early days of polymer when we were struggling to get our

confidence going and into the season. -- for them. I do not know

if nearly two years into the job they should be further on but he has

been restricted financially. And to finish 12th and 14th is remarkable

with the squad he has had, in my opinion. I think this suits them.

The problem is, look, everyone of them, back to the ball, well drilled

machine. Loads of time on the ball, easy afternoon at times for

Middlesbrough but they did not have the quality to open West Bromwich

up. The problem is as a football fan, you do not pay your money to

watch your team have good shape. Great from a coaching point of view

and for getting points. You do not go back the following week, that is

the problem. They are playing Middlesbrough today, a team that has

just gone up, not Manchester City at home. Listening to Tony Pulis

afterwards, I do not think he feels he has the mobility in the group to

high positions. If they had, you look back at back at him at powers

as Manager of the Year and the strength they had and you think of

somebody like Bolasie, they had pace to work with from deep positions and

he likes to do that. Get those players in in the transfer window,

like Nacer Chadli, that is a positive, and as far as today, the

way he reshuffled defence, that could be positive. Without doubt. He

was able to put Evans back into that central defence. Galloway came in.

Much more conventional full-back. He likes to play central defenders. He

is an Everton player on loan. But I saw so much in his game, getting

forward, wants to get forward. Refreshing. Pace early on, he scores

a free kick, blocking. He wanted to get forward whenever possible and it

was great for the fans to see this. He wants to see -- he wants to shoot

from distance and has the ability to do that. He is good in a one on one

situation and makes the tackle. Occasionally, you are trying to

break forward, this is a great ball into the box and I think that Rondon

should do better, he will create chances and they know that. He is

positive, but he gets it wrong. He gets back and he makes up for that

with a great block. Good pace and good strength. In the final third,

he is good at this, quick feet, across the box. Nobody getting on

the end of it. That will improve when he sees what he can bring. A

line on Middlesbrough, they did their business early and got five

points out of their first nine which gives them a platform. Great start,

playing the right well -- playing the right way, well organised, the

best defensive Championship last year, fans must be delighted.

Let's begin our look back at yesterday.

It is Eden Hazzard and he has the support of three. He might not need

anyone. A glorious goal from Eden Hazzard! He is back to his great

best. Certainly somewhere near it. Diego Costa. Eden Hazzard forced to

turn away. Cost of. Mark Clattenburg out of his way. Willie on. It is

2-0, Chelsea. -- macro one. He has been great from the start of the

game. It is Pedro. It is Moses! It is three! Chelsea have sealed it

once and for all with a great ball from Pedro and a fine finish from

Victor Moses. Mesut Ozil looking to make Arsenal

Tech, Sanchez is down. You can see as the ball comes over, and Rabat

clatters into Alexis Sanchez and Kevin French has given a penalty

kick to Arsenal. Santi Cazorla for Arsenal and they lead by 1-0, nine

minutes the time of the goal. Theo Walcott, flooding forward into

the penalty area. Great chance for a second goal and has it gone over the

line from Sanchez? It has! Alexis Sanchez makes it 2-0, Arsenal.

Sanchez was that! The ball clearly in.

This is Alexis Sanchez. Walcott in the centre. Ozil times his run to

perfection, it is three! Wonderful goal. Ozil in the centre. Time to

that run to perfection. Yellow Shirts walking forward. That she

timed that run. A chance here, blocked by Koscielny. Into the back

of the net by Pereira on his debut. The new signing from Juventus gives

Watford fans a glimpse of his true ability. Burying the chance.

Routledge trying to outpace Amartey, but he has done it. And he has found

the pass first time to Riyad Mahrez. Towards Vardy, that is great from

Leicester. Vardy opens the scoring. Vardy gets his first goal of the

season and it is the first of many, mark my words. Morgan to attack it,

almost got to it, and scores. Wes Morgan! You do have to question

Swansea's defending here. He weeps for it and then it just drops from

his shoulder. And the finish is smart.

Vardy steals them. And it breaks for Shinji Okazaki and that is a penalty

all day long. Amat gives Leicester the chance to complete a miserable

afternoon for them. And he has had its saved. Shinji Okazaki is then

blocked by Fabianski. Credit to the goalkeeper, in truth, not the best

strike you have ever seen from the penalty spot. Modou Barrow. Header

by Leroy Fer. The delivery was excluded and so was the header

beyond Ron-Robert Zieler. Just exquisite.

Now Manchester United try to win it again. Wayne Rooney... It's in! It's

Marcus Rashford. Talk about leaving a late. Marcus Rashford brought off

the bench, his first taste of Premier League football this season.

Jose Mourinho has his 100% record intact. New we knew Rashford

wouldn't be in the England squad, he said he would be in the land U21

squad. This is the England squad Sam Allardyce has picked for his first

international against Slovakia next Sunday. I suppose the big news is

peopled by just it, there's no Ross Barkley, there's no Jack Wilson,

we've mentioned that Antonio is in. Ross Barkley was a bit of a surprise

because he started the season terrifically well. He has the

ability to play in that team, but I'm really happy to see Drinkwater

in. He's been the best midfield for the last 12 months. And Luke Shaw,

with the broken leg, great to see he's back in and in great form. On

the centre halves, and by the way this list and how we have done is

how England sent it out, Wayne Rooney has been included as a

midfielder, he wasn't under the forwards list, but when you look at

the centre halves, Smalling hasn't played a great deal the Manchester

United this season, Jagielka obviously is, Stones hazard Cahill

has, are you surprised any of the Centre halves haven't been given an

opportunity? Not really, that's the best group we have. What will be a

problem long-term if this Smalling isn't going to be playing, who will

make it in and who will take his place? Cahill will probably play

alongside Stones, probably the best two. People can be outraged can be

outraged about no Barkley Wilshere but the rock that many others when

you look around who are missing. It shows there is quite a shallow pool

to pick from. I agree, it's about how he sets up in terms of the

balance of the team formation, the tempo we play at, the type of

football we play, that's going to be crucial. The actual pool of players

we have got, there's only two three differentials on that. It's going to

be fascinating with Sam to see how he sets them up. Do you think there

will be more width Walcott is in there, do you think he will go with

greater width? We'll have to see what he will do internationally, we

have seen what he has done as a club manager. Often played percentage

style football so Vardy on the counterattack so we are playing

Slovakia, we will dominate possession but we have convert

opportunities. He always plays with width.

A couple of programmes to tell you about coming up this week.

The Women's Football Show is on tomorrow night, BBC Two.

There's a deadline day special on Wednesday, BBC One, 10:45pm.

5Live will have all the latest news from 7:00pm.

And a reminder that you if you missed Football Focus

or Match Of The Day, you can watch them on iPlayer.

Match of the Day 2 can be watched on iPlayer. Here is the rest of

Saturday's action. The referee has blown his whistle.

Vertonghen am madly as having words with the Tottenham defender. He is

walking a very tight line. Firmino will reach this. Taking on Erik

Lamela, and going down, and it's a penalty. Lamela on Firmino. There's

a little bit of contact with Firmino's foot and then that right

foot hits his own heel. Now Michel Vorm phrases James Milner from 12

yards. Who scores, and Liverpool have the lead. James Milner from the

penalty spot. Look at the break here, Wijnaldum with Lallana, there

might be trouble for Spurs. Here's Adam Lallana and a tap in for Sadio

Mane, the flag is up on the far side. He's offside. As Wijnaldum

plays it into Lallana, his right foot is in an offside position.

That's a lovely ball. Eric Dier, dangerous. Still dangerous. Danny

Rose, 1-1. Too much space for Rose, who had only to stick his laces

through it and stick it into the Liverpool match. It's 1-1.

Mirallas, a penalty. Pushing on Ashley Williams. Stoke were victim

of this last weekend against Manchester City. The chants from the

spot. He's just about scored that. It wasn't vintage veins, it was a

little fortuitous and unfortunate as far as Shay Given was concerned. --

it wasn't vintage veins. Through for the chase of Lens. Defoe comes to

the near post. Penalty to Sunderland. Jose Fonte through the

back of Jermain Defoe and what a this is for Sunderland to get their

first Premier League win of the season on the board.

Jermain Defoe is at it again on the road for Sunderland. Redmond,

Sunderland standing firm although it comes for Rodriguez. Southampton

levels. Jay Rodriguez with his first goal since March 2000 and 14. --

2014. It might drop here for Harry Arter.

A clever ball. King, Josh King puts Bournemouth in front. What a lovely,

lovely ball forward from Harry Arter, perfectly executed, as was

the shot from Josh King. Cabaye. In towards Wickham, might drop for

Benteke. It's a penalty, holding in the penalty area and Crystal Palace

have the chance to draw back on level terms. Yohan Cabaye for

Crystal Palace. It's saved. Artur Boruc goes the right way and it's a

firm clearance away by the Polish goalkeeper. Townsend, looking for

somebody, anybody, in the shirt who can make the difference at this late

stage of proceedings. It is headed in by Scott Dann. In the third

minute of additional time Crystal Palace's pressure finally pays

dividends. Manchester City go top on goal

difference, and are one of three Boro are sixth after their draw

against tenth placed West Brom. West Ham miss the chance to move

into the top half of the table. Results this weekend mean every club

now has at least one Here's Ding. -- 2 Good 2 Bad. Chris

Smalling wasn't allowed to celebrate Rashford's goal for too long. Not

everybody enjoyed this substitution. If looks could kill. We have Italian

managers loving our August bank holiday weekend weather. Leicester

need to lay on more food pre-match for their players. And Big Sam is

trying hard not to become even bigger Sam. That's it for a couple

of weeks. And after Marcus Rashford's

93rd-minute goal at Hull, we'll leave you with some

iconic injury-time winners Good night. Bruce, yes!

Unbelievable! Collymore, he's got it.

Brilliantly done, what a goal. It's Sergio Aguero. Manchester City

winner. I've got a very special announcement

to make. Well, her mainly, but I was there

when it happened.
