:01:26. > :01:34.Good evening. The first midweek match of the day of the season
:01:35. > :01:39.serves up some thrilling football and an abundance of goals.
:01:40. > :01:44.Surprises, comebacks and drama, all to be enjoyed in the company of Alan
:01:45. > :01:51.Shearer and Robbie Fowler. We start at the Stadium of Light. Sunderland
:01:52. > :01:55.remain in the bottom three, five points adrift of safety. Tonight
:01:56. > :02:01.they face a Chelsea side who went second on Sunday.
:02:02. > :02:07.With three wins out of three at home, Gus Poyet has quickly endeared
:02:08. > :02:16.himself to Sunderland supporters. Now he faces the club where it began
:02:17. > :02:20.for him in England. Fernando Torres must wish he could play Sunderland
:02:21. > :02:22.more often. He has put six goals past Tim, his best return against
:02:23. > :02:45.any team. Jozy Altidore was caught. Phil Dowd
:02:46. > :02:46.says an advantage had not been played. It is a free kick for
:02:47. > :03:11.Sunderland. He was caught. Jozy Altidore X Mac --! His first
:03:12. > :03:19.Premier League goal for Sunderland. He took it beautifully. Poor free
:03:20. > :03:25.kick. It worked to Sunderland's benefit. He was allowed to turn by
:03:26. > :03:30.John Terry. He turned, he fired, he scored. Sunderland in front. They
:03:31. > :03:43.know there will be nervous times ahead.
:03:44. > :03:51.Lovely controlled by Juan Mata. Of the knees of John O'Shea. It is
:03:52. > :04:05.going to be a corner kick. It could have been an equaliser.
:04:06. > :04:16.Lampard! One - one. Sunderland were in front for only three minutes.
:04:17. > :04:22.Ever since going behind, Chelsea have turned and, at them. Sunderland
:04:23. > :04:28.did not deal properly with the corner. A great bit of skill from
:04:29. > :04:31.Hazard. Lampard arrived at just the right time with just the right leap.
:04:32. > :04:54.His fifth goal of the season. Hazard! What a goal! He has sparkled
:04:55. > :04:57.since the start of this game. Chelsea have turned being behind
:04:58. > :05:08.into what looks like being a half-time lead. The full-back had to
:05:09. > :05:11.think about where he had to go and who he had to watch. What a finish
:05:12. > :05:20.by Hazard. Into added time at the end of the
:05:21. > :05:38.first half. The goalkeeper just about stopped
:05:39. > :05:43.the ball from squeezing past him at his near post. We just do not know
:05:44. > :05:52.where it is going to go from Hazard on the form he is in tonight.
:05:53. > :06:10.A Sunderland corner. It is a goal! John O'Shea turns and fires in. Who
:06:11. > :06:21.was at fault? So many bodies in the box. It goes in and of John Terry.
:06:22. > :06:35.One capped and onto another. -- one capped and onto another.
:06:36. > :06:43.Hazard scores again! He has been sensational. It does not matter how
:06:44. > :06:50.many defenders Sunderland put on the Belgian. With a bit of help from his
:06:51. > :06:56.colleagues, he can beat them. Chelsea in front again. It has been
:06:57. > :07:16.the Hazard show tonight. Turned in by Phil Bardsley into his
:07:17. > :07:25.own goal! They did not seem to be any danger. Demba Ba could not find
:07:26. > :07:28.Ramires. It was an awful ball into the middle. It befuddled Phil
:07:29. > :08:05.Bardsley. Phil Bardsley! He scores at the
:08:06. > :08:10.right end. We are as we were. The goals keep on flying in at the
:08:11. > :08:17.Stadium of Light. Bars the score is one in his own net and one at the
:08:18. > :08:21.other end to give Sunderland hope. -- Phil Bardsley. What an incredible
:08:22. > :08:28.game this has been. Neither manager will be happy with the defending. It
:08:29. > :08:34.is always good for us to see goals. If they make it 4-4 this will go
:08:35. > :08:36.down as one of the most remarkable games the Stadium of Light has ever
:08:37. > :08:46.hosted. He slept. Johnson had to shoot first
:08:47. > :09:18.time, really. Lampard has got Chelsea a corner. I
:09:19. > :09:34.should think they will keep it in that corner. An incredible Premier
:09:35. > :09:39.League match. Jose Mourinho's Chelsea blues have taken all three
:09:40. > :09:43.points. It looks as though even he cannot believe how it all planned
:09:44. > :09:51.out before his eyes. A big three points for Chelsea.
:09:52. > :10:00.For my team it was the best game by far away from home. We had complete
:10:01. > :10:05.defensive control of the situation. We had not just control of the game,
:10:06. > :10:14.but a beautiful game. We played a beautiful game. Our creative players
:10:15. > :10:18.were really creative. Edin Hazard had a special performance. But we
:10:19. > :10:29.conceded three goals in three defensive set pieces, which instead
:10:30. > :10:34.of giving us a comfortable victory, gave us a hard last six minutes. We
:10:35. > :10:41.conceded three goals we cannot concede. Hazard was outstanding. It
:10:42. > :10:48.was very difficult to stop him. He is a very good player. He was
:10:49. > :10:53.unplayable. We fight, we kept believing, we kept going. We went to
:10:54. > :10:58.the end. I am sure that probably looking at the games Chelsea have
:10:59. > :11:02.played this season, they made an honest try to beat us. It shows
:11:03. > :11:07.where we are and what we want to achieve. I want to make sure that
:11:08. > :11:13.teams coming here will suffer a lot to beat us. They are building a very
:11:14. > :11:18.good side. He is doing a very good job. The way they play, not just at
:11:19. > :11:23.the quality of their game, but the spirit and the crowd behind them, I
:11:24. > :11:30.think this team has to get out of the situation they are in.
:11:31. > :11:35.It was certainly a sensational game of football. Jose Mourinho still
:11:36. > :11:41.unbeaten in Premier League football in December. Great game of football.
:11:42. > :11:46.End to end. It could have gone either way. Mourinho knew it was
:11:47. > :11:52.going to be a tough game going to Sunderland. That is how it proved to
:11:53. > :11:56.be. Chelsea again going behind like they did on Sunday. They showed
:11:57. > :12:03.great qualities in coming back at the weekend. They did the same
:12:04. > :12:09.tonight. It was a great game to watch. But the star of the show, and
:12:10. > :12:16.both managers actually said it, eating Hazard. He was unstoppable.
:12:17. > :12:22.He was on fire. From the first minute, he was Chelsea's most
:12:23. > :12:33.dangerous player. Everything Chelsea Dunne came through him. He is so
:12:34. > :12:42.tricky. He does create chances. Shoots right footed into the far
:12:43. > :12:48.corner. What I like about this one is... The next one. Look at his
:12:49. > :12:56.movement, how he takes the defenders away. He just wants to create
:12:57. > :13:01.chances. Fernando really should score. He picks the ball up on the
:13:02. > :13:07.left. He runs past two defenders. We are expecting a run from Frank. He
:13:08. > :13:13.does not stop. That is what I like. He makes some space with his right
:13:14. > :13:17.foot. On this one here, he takes two defenders out with the pass. Once he
:13:18. > :13:25.gets in the box, he takes six or seven players out. What a finish.
:13:26. > :13:27.I'm not sure about taking his top off, getting a yellow card again.
:13:28. > :13:38.What a game. Sunderland played their part. Jose
:13:39. > :13:42.Mourinho can see them getting out of trouble. They will be a lot of
:13:43. > :13:52.positives that Gus will take from that. Plenty to work done in the
:13:53. > :13:57.future. Old Trafford next, where David Moyes took on Everton for the
:13:58. > :14:00.first time since leaving to replace Sir Alex Ferguson. Everton have not
:14:01. > :14:05.won at Manchester United for 21 years but began the game ahead of
:14:06. > :14:09.the champions. Steve Wilson was there.
:14:10. > :14:15.There can be no doubt that over 11 years Everton and David Moyes were
:14:16. > :14:20.very good for each other. Everton are doing just fine without him.
:14:21. > :14:33.They are two points and three places above Manchester United. Still no
:14:34. > :14:38.Robin van Persie for the home side. Marouane Fellaini faces his former
:14:39. > :14:39.team-mates. Two changes for Everton, Kevin Mirallas and Ross Barkley
:14:40. > :14:59.return to the team. The Munich survivor who died last
:15:00. > :15:02.week, aged 81, a Manchester United great.
:15:03. > :15:12.Here is Kevin Mirallas. Gareth Barry, good possession from Everton.
:15:13. > :15:17.In a good position, well found by Romelu Lukaku.
:15:18. > :15:29.Roberto Martinez has changed enough at Everton to feel that David Moyes
:15:30. > :15:39.will not know them inside out. The referee notes the file, says
:15:40. > :16:03.play on, and Manchester United do. There was a handball decision,
:16:04. > :16:15.Everton have the free kick. The ball was won by Patrice Evra.
:16:16. > :16:25.Lots of blue shirts about. Tough to get through.
:16:26. > :16:38.Inches wide from Ryan Giggs! Wayne Rooney started it. Very nearly
:16:39. > :16:41.finished it here. He has scored in 23 consecutive seasons for
:16:42. > :16:48.Manchester United but not yet this term.
:16:49. > :16:51.Lovely control by Wayne Rooney and the shot was just deflected off the
:16:52. > :17:01.post. You have to credit Tim Howard here.
:17:02. > :17:05.I think he thought it was in. Wayne Rooney's shot was deflected off
:17:06. > :17:08.Sylvain Distin. He reacted very quickly. Otherwise it would have
:17:09. > :17:18.been a tap in. Only five minutes of this first have
:17:19. > :17:19.to go. Not been the most eventful first half of football you have ever
:17:20. > :17:45.seen. Read by Gareth Barry. The goalkeeper needed to make a
:17:46. > :17:48.smart save here. This is good stuff from Everton. Romelu Lukaku with a
:17:49. > :17:56.really powerful drive. The game really opening up with
:17:57. > :18:16.half-time approaching. Lifted up. Tim Howard clutches at the second
:18:17. > :18:17.attempt! An extraordinary left off. It went straight through the legs of
:18:18. > :18:37.Wayne Rooney. Really good head! Really good head
:18:38. > :18:50.by Patrice Evra. If you are looking for a sweet
:18:51. > :18:59.spot, Patrice Evra certainly found it. Saved by Tim Howard. 20 attempts
:19:00. > :19:00.since Everton one at Old Trafford. Roberto Martinez has that in his
:19:01. > :19:15.sights. He might go alone but he cannot beat
:19:16. > :19:17.the goalkeeper. Great chance. His first impact on the game was nearly
:19:18. > :19:26.to put Everton in front. Tim Howard just got enough on it and
:19:27. > :19:37.it is a corner. Worked well, unleashed a left foot
:19:38. > :19:43.swirling drive which Tim Howard only just dealt with.
:19:44. > :19:51.Little bit of room. Click them. Phil Jagielka got something on it.
:19:52. > :20:03.Yet another half chance goes astray. Wayne Rooney takes the corner. Off
:20:04. > :20:10.the bar! Kept out by Phil Jagielka. How did they get away with that? No
:20:11. > :20:18.penalty. He ran into Phil Jagielka. Great pressure. Wayne Rooney! Way
:20:19. > :20:26.over the bar. Patrice Evra with a thumping header. Great save and
:20:27. > :20:37.Danny Welbeck unfortunate to see it hit the bar.
:20:38. > :20:51.The referee plays on. It is a free kick to Everton. Certainly a file by
:20:52. > :20:56.Valencia. Kevin Mirallas, or over the wall! That close, Everton. Bryan
:20:57. > :21:29.Oviedo finds Phil Jagielka. Bryan Oviedo estimation Mark he has
:21:30. > :21:40.scored for Everton! There are only four minutes to play. Everton are in
:21:41. > :21:45.front! Bryan Oviedo for Everton against Manchester United at Old
:21:46. > :21:54.Trafford. Completely mishit by Romelu Lukaku but it fell
:21:55. > :22:03.beautifully. Bryan Oviedo with a famous Everton goal on a fabulous
:22:04. > :22:06.night for Everton. It was an important game but we just could not
:22:07. > :22:11.get the goal. We did not have the luck we needed. To be fair to
:22:12. > :22:17.Everton, they played well, eventually got the goal right at the
:22:18. > :22:22.end. However many years, 1213 that we could not get, away from home,
:22:23. > :22:28.being able to win games, I thought that was a big battle today. We had
:22:29. > :22:31.to break the mentality, I thought we were outstanding in the manner that
:22:32. > :22:38.we were playing Manchester United eye to eye, we created chances and
:22:39. > :22:42.they created chances. To be able to have the nerve and the composure and
:22:43. > :22:47.the quality to keep a clean sheet and win the game is just what we
:22:48. > :22:51.deserved. I have often come to places like this and struggled to
:22:52. > :22:55.create things. The confidence the manager has put into the team, we
:22:56. > :23:01.have come in and have a right good go. Up until the goal it was a good
:23:02. > :23:07.game for the neutral. Posts were being hit. It was a good game but
:23:08. > :23:13.obviously more special when Brian pops up with the winner. They were
:23:14. > :23:17.magnificent. There are five points better off than they were at this
:23:18. > :23:24.point last season, they have kept a clean sheets. Remarkable progress. A
:23:25. > :23:27.lot of the discussion was about David Moyes and Manchester United,
:23:28. > :23:32.the difficult job of replacing Sir Alex Ferguson, but tonight, nobody
:23:33. > :23:36.really gave Roberto Martinez a hope of going there apart from him and
:23:37. > :23:42.his team. Let's not forget he has had a huge void to fill, David Moyes
:23:43. > :23:46.was hugely successful at Everton, but I thought Everton hung on their
:23:47. > :23:53.tonight. They thoroughly deserved it. They have lots of chances. Be
:23:54. > :23:55.created lots of chances, but the surprisingly thing about Manchester
:23:56. > :24:02.United is the lack of protection in front of the back four. Are they
:24:03. > :24:07.missing Michael Carrick? Absolutely. They needed dominant midfielder who
:24:08. > :24:10.scores goals. Look at the space. Great ball from Ross Barkley into
:24:11. > :24:16.Romelu Lukaku, who I thought was big in strong and was a threat all
:24:17. > :24:22.night. Good save from the goalkeeper. I thought Everton got
:24:23. > :24:28.their tactics spot on. Phil Jagielka was brilliant as was Gareth Barry.
:24:29. > :24:33.Look at this again, Ross Barkley picking the ball up, running at the
:24:34. > :24:42.United back line. Where is the protection? That should be an
:24:43. > :24:49.attempt at goal. It is too easy. Look, he turns and he passes. Caught
:24:50. > :24:57.in two minds. Her touch. Not a great effort. Here comes the goal. Ball
:24:58. > :25:06.into Romelu Lukaku, has a touch, tackle, turns and shoots, and
:25:07. > :25:10.Valencia lets him go. Sloppy, does not know where his manners. Not
:25:11. > :25:17.aware of what is around him and it is an excellent finish. -- does not
:25:18. > :25:21.know where the man he is marking is. He has come into the team and scored
:25:22. > :25:27.again tonight. Brilliant performance. Are we at a stage where
:25:28. > :25:31.we can rule out Manchester United for the title race? I don't think
:25:32. > :25:39.they will win the league. It will be very tough. Top four? I think they
:25:40. > :25:44.might even struggle for that. I know people will think because I am an
:25:45. > :25:49.ex-Liverpool player, but they have been a little bit more for me this
:25:50. > :25:54.year. I did not think they could win it before a ball was kicked and I
:25:55. > :25:57.have not changed my mind. Liverpool's defeat against Hull city
:25:58. > :26:02.means they have won just two of their last X. Tonight, they were
:26:03. > :26:07.back on home turf for the visit of a Norwich side whose last victory
:26:08. > :26:12.moved them clear of the bottom three. -- two of the last six
:26:13. > :26:16.matches. With seven goals in his last three matches against them,
:26:17. > :26:22.Luis Suarez will be looking forward to meeting Norwich again. With the
:26:23. > :26:29.absence of Daniel Sturridge there is even greater need for him to
:26:30. > :26:37.succeed. Just one alteration for the visitors as Chris Newton goes for
:26:38. > :26:44.five across the midfield. -- Chris Hughton.
:26:45. > :26:50.The tactics are obvious, Liverpool have a ten man wall in front of
:26:51. > :27:15.them. Luis Suarez, good effort, that is
:27:16. > :27:21.absolutely stunning! Who else would even have thought of trying it?
:27:22. > :27:29.This incredible record he has against Norwich. If memory serves,
:27:30. > :27:33.he scored a spectacular goal from a similar range at Carrow Road. Just
:27:34. > :27:39.look at this. Who else would even have thought about having a shot?
:27:40. > :27:46.That is absolutely superb. The superlatives just keep on being
:27:47. > :27:50.trotted out for the Luis Suarez. With Liverpool not looking at their
:27:51. > :27:55.best, not looking quite in the zone, as long as they have a player like
:27:56. > :28:04.this, they always have a chance of scoring.
:28:05. > :28:14.He wins the corner. It looks like Martin Skrtel played a fantastic
:28:15. > :28:22.ball, and from it, he won the corner.
:28:23. > :28:43.it is another four Luis Suarez. -- for. Horrible marking but delightful
:28:44. > :28:49.Liverpool. Look at this. Who has got Luis Suarez? I suppose it is
:28:50. > :28:53.supposed to be Russell Martin, but nobody gets new to him. Thumped into
:28:54. > :29:05.the roof of the net. He made it look easy.
:29:06. > :29:16.Great effort! Fantastic! What a player. Norwich are sick to the back
:29:17. > :29:22.teeth of him. Especially John Ruddy. He has got a hat-trick inside 34
:29:23. > :29:26.minutes. And Norwich City might as well forget about taking on
:29:27. > :29:32.Liverpool because when Luis Suarez is in the side, there is nothing
:29:33. > :29:37.they can do to stop him. All on his own, full of confidence, full of
:29:38. > :29:41.imagination. Ten goals against the same opposition and now his third
:29:42. > :30:04.hat-trick against Norwich. Suarez once said. Sterling goes
:30:05. > :30:07.himself and Mrs. It takes a deflection and goes for a corner.
:30:08. > :30:24.Suarez is aghast. Great Alan -- great effort by Joe
:30:25. > :30:28.Allen. What a fabulous save. He may have been beaten by three goals that
:30:29. > :30:33.he could do nothing about, but John Ruddy showed what a very good
:30:34. > :30:37.goalkeeper he is. That is a breathtaking save. He had no right
:30:38. > :30:46.to get to it but he did. Fabulous shot.
:30:47. > :31:03.Good save by John Ruddy. If you can get 11 out of ten for a performance,
:31:04. > :31:17.Suarez will surely get it tonight. Good balance by sterling. Brings in
:31:18. > :31:21.Gerrard. A free kick to Liverpool. One which -- Gerrard has stayed down
:31:22. > :31:32.momentarily and lost a boot in the process. Suarez! It is in the net.
:31:33. > :31:41.He has done it again. Norwich's nemesis. Each goal has something to
:31:42. > :31:47.be admired. It was a fabulous free kick. John Ruddy had set up his wall
:31:48. > :31:53.but it did not matter. He went over the top, into the corner. Luis
:31:54. > :32:02.Suarez now has 11 goals in four matches against Norwich City. Can I
:32:03. > :32:13.play you every week? That is what he wants to chant.
:32:14. > :32:21.Wonderful header from Johnson. Fabulous goal. It will not match
:32:22. > :32:26.those that have come from Luis Suarez but in its own way it had
:32:27. > :32:40.quality. He has gone across the defender.
:32:41. > :32:50.Off the post by Gerrard. Nearly clever. A huge smile on his face. He
:32:51. > :32:58.knew he did not have many options when the ball came to him.
:32:59. > :33:15.Sterling! And he completes the rout. Raheem Sterling with a smashing
:33:16. > :33:19.finish. Who is the provider? You know who. For first Suarez, one for
:33:20. > :33:30.a Raheem Sterling. I really enjoyed watching the team
:33:31. > :33:36.tonight. I thought they were outstanding. But when you have a
:33:37. > :33:42.performer playing at that level, the goals he scored, the first one was
:33:43. > :33:46.brilliant. Reminiscent of the one he scored at Carrow Road. The second
:33:47. > :33:51.one was just great instinct. The third was out of this world. The
:33:52. > :33:57.quality, the fear that he gives defenders. He puts them on the back
:33:58. > :34:01.foot. The quality and the finishing is outstanding. He gets his
:34:02. > :34:04.hat-trick. To top it off, he gets the free kick. It is not by
:34:05. > :34:11.accident. He practices it in training. Everything about him is
:34:12. > :34:15.world-class. They have good touches. They are very neat and tidy around
:34:16. > :34:22.the box. You have to defend incredibly well. You have to have
:34:23. > :34:29.good periods of the game where you can keep possession. We managed that
:34:30. > :34:31.other locations. But you cannot afford to let a good Liverpool team
:34:32. > :34:40.have that much space. Everybody is talking about Luis
:34:41. > :34:45.Suarez. 11 goals in four games against Norwich. You have scored a
:34:46. > :34:50.few goals for Liverpool. What do you make of this fellow? He is a
:34:51. > :34:55.phenomenal player. I love him as a player because I'm starting to
:34:56. > :35:03.dislike him because he is making all of the former Liverpool striker 's
:35:04. > :35:08.look very average! This was almost 40 yards. A great finish. The
:35:09. > :35:17.goalkeeper has got no chance. It was well struck. Steven Gerrard makes a
:35:18. > :35:22.great run here. Nobody picks him up. Suarez does not really do much.
:35:23. > :35:31.It was a neat finish. But this goal. He has four defenders around him. It
:35:32. > :35:39.was not the greatest lay-off. He still has a lot to do. The defender
:35:40. > :35:44.backs away. That was the pick of the goals. I think that was the hardest
:35:45. > :35:52.one. The technique is just incredible. That is a phenomenal
:35:53. > :35:57.goal. We could have goal of the month with just these goals. The
:35:58. > :36:06.free kick was brilliant. That takes some stopping. He is top drawer. He
:36:07. > :36:11.is world-class. You have always got a chance with somebody like him.
:36:12. > :36:37.Three games down and we are only one third of the way through the show.
:36:38. > :36:44.We have still got some great games to show you. Southampton have come
:36:45. > :36:49.unstuck at Chelsea and Arsenal in their last couple of games but they
:36:50. > :36:51.remain formidable opponents at home. Tonight they faced and Aston Villa
:36:52. > :37:01.side unbeaten in four games. Southampton have only conceded two
:37:02. > :37:08.goals in six games here this season. A couple of changes in the backline
:37:09. > :37:18.tonight. Archer borage has a broken hand. The big news from the Aston
:37:19. > :37:21.Villa team sheet is that Christian Benteke, seven games without a goal,
:37:22. > :37:27.is on the bench. Kozak starts up front, trying to remedy the fact
:37:28. > :37:37.that Villa have failed to score in five of their last seven games. All
:37:38. > :37:41.Southampton in the early stages. Adam Lallana came close. Aston Villa
:37:42. > :37:57.right up against it. Brad Guzan palmed it away. Just
:37:58. > :38:10.about. Southampton once again very, very close to the opening goal.
:38:11. > :38:18.Agbonlahor in the clear. Racing through on goal. Nice skill and he
:38:19. > :38:24.gives Aston Villa the lead. They have been under the cosh for the
:38:25. > :38:30.entire first 15 minutes. Agbonlahor scores his first goal of the season.
:38:31. > :38:36.Southampton have been doing all of the attacking. A simple ball. The
:38:37. > :38:41.defender got caught out. Agbonlahor are still had plenty to do. He
:38:42. > :38:46.waited for the goalkeeper to go down. That was a fantastic finish,
:38:47. > :39:00.although totally against the run of play. A beautiful finish. Food for
:39:01. > :39:11.thought for a ritzy Pochettino. -- Mauricio Pochettino. Brilliant save
:39:12. > :39:17.from Brad Guzan. He had to be sharp again to block the rebrand. A
:39:18. > :39:28.floating cross. Rodriguez got up really early. Osvaldo warming up for
:39:29. > :39:32.Southampton. If the chances keep coming for them this evening, I'm
:39:33. > :39:43.sure Pochettino feels the goal will come.
:39:44. > :39:47.Once again it was a little bit of last-gasp defending that saved Aston
:39:48. > :40:18.Villa. Jay Rodriguez! A-levels the game.
:40:19. > :40:25.Just three minutes into the second half. He was denied by a brilliant
:40:26. > :40:33.Brad Guzan save in the first-half. This time there was no mistake from
:40:34. > :40:35.the Southampton centre forward. The header was beautifully directed,
:40:36. > :40:51.giving Brad Guzan absolutely no chance.
:40:52. > :41:07.Southampton putting themselves under pressure. Kozak! The goalkeeper did
:41:08. > :41:11.his absolute best to keep that out. Kozak, in the team in place of
:41:12. > :41:17.Christian Benteke, has put Aston Villa back in front. Southampton
:41:18. > :41:23.initially played themselves into trouble. They got themselves out of
:41:24. > :41:28.it. Kozak timed the run beautifully. The cross placed right on his head.
:41:29. > :41:32.Kozak just had to put his head on it. His third goal of the season.
:41:33. > :41:54.Aston Villa back in front. It is in! Osvaldo has his second
:41:55. > :42:05.goal for Southampton. Beautiful linkup with Rickie Lambert. It is a
:42:06. > :42:09.ploy Southampton have used so often. Rickie Lambert drifts off to the
:42:10. > :42:20.back post, on selfishly across goal, as valve will not miss from
:42:21. > :42:35.there. Lambert teeing up his strike partner. We are level again.
:42:36. > :42:49.Good ball boy Agbonlahor. What a screamer by Delph! His first ever
:42:50. > :42:54.Premier League goal for Aston Villa. And the visitors are in front for
:42:55. > :42:59.the third time. Another classic counterattacking goal. Agbonlahor
:43:00. > :43:09.found Delph. He had one thing on his mind. You do not strike a ball
:43:10. > :43:16.better than that. The goalkeeper once again not given a chance. A
:43:17. > :43:21.sublime strike from Delph. I thought the first goal was
:43:22. > :43:26.fabulous. Great composure. That is what he can give you when he is bang
:43:27. > :43:31.at it. Not many people will catch him when he gets going. I thought
:43:32. > :43:36.the finish was fantastic. The second was a good header. The third goal
:43:37. > :43:42.was an absolute world-class strike. To I am delighted. It has been a
:43:43. > :43:47.long time since I have scored a goal like that. Happy days for me. The
:43:48. > :43:52.main thing was the three points and the togetherness we showed out
:43:53. > :43:57.there. TRANSLATION: We were thinking, why
:43:58. > :44:01.did this happen? We've made some mistakes. We were not solid at the
:44:02. > :44:09.back. Our overall feeling is that we are shaking our heads and wondering
:44:10. > :44:18.why this happened. It was another terrific game. There is the
:44:19. > :44:23.possession stats. It was a classic counterattacking performance. It
:44:24. > :44:33.was. At the end of the day, they lost the game. Aston Villa, on the
:44:34. > :44:37.back foot all the time. Good ball by Fabian Delph. I don't know what the
:44:38. > :44:43.full-back is doing. He was flat-footed. He runs on, guides and
:44:44. > :44:50.a little bit. Really nice finish. This goal, Southampton pushing to
:44:51. > :44:58.get the winner. Hopeful clearance. Good play again. Fabian Delph, box
:44:59. > :45:05.to box, nobody runs at him. He tries his luck 25 yards out. I don't think
:45:06. > :45:08.you can blame the defenders or the goalkeeper, that is just a fantastic
:45:09. > :45:10.goal. It deserves to win any game. They can play like that, because on
:45:11. > :45:17.the break they have fast players. Was there a little moment,
:45:18. > :45:22.Southampton, three on the bounce? Was there a little moment,
:45:23. > :45:26.Southampton, three on the They are still doing a lot of things right.
:45:27. > :45:30.They still have the second-best defensive record in the league. It
:45:31. > :45:35.still does not work for them, but they keep the ball very well. I
:45:36. > :45:39.think they will be OK, they will do well. Premier league table waste
:45:40. > :45:44.only on away form would see Manchester City in 15th with just
:45:45. > :45:48.four points from six games. It is not and they are third. They
:45:49. > :45:54.travelled to the Hawthorns to play West Brom.
:45:55. > :46:03.In an attempt to take points off another one of the big boys, Steve
:46:04. > :46:08.Clarke gives a player only his third Premier league start in the week
:46:09. > :46:12.when he signed a new contract. Manchester City welcome back Vincent
:46:13. > :46:29.Kompany after 12 games out with a thigh injury.
:46:30. > :46:39.What a touch from Edin Dzeko! It was not clinical from Sergio Aguero, and
:46:40. > :46:46.he knows that was a really good chance. West Brom with every player
:46:47. > :46:47.deep behind the ball. You sense that the good start is all-important for
:46:48. > :47:08.them. Wonderful ball, Sergio Aguero!
:47:09. > :47:12.Clinical. It had been coming, and inside nine minutes, Manchester City
:47:13. > :47:17.are in front. It is the familiar name of Sergio Aguero. This was
:47:18. > :47:23.emphatic. Beautifully worked from Manchester City. The awareness of
:47:24. > :47:29.Pablo Zabaleta and the finish from Sergio Aguero. No chance for the
:47:30. > :47:31.goalkeeper. Very confident start for Manchester City, and they have
:47:32. > :47:48.marked it with an early opening goal.
:47:49. > :47:58.Costel Pantilimon looked as if he had that covered. Not really
:47:59. > :48:06.stretched here. Good confidence. Cleverly done by Samir Nasri.
:48:07. > :48:12.Sergio Aguero has been so difficult to pick-up early on.
:48:13. > :48:21.Yaya Toure! What a fabulous football goal finished by Yaya Toure. A
:48:22. > :48:29.brilliant team goal from Manchester City to double their advantage.
:48:30. > :48:33.Movement, imagination, awareness from Aleksandar Kolarov, and what
:48:34. > :48:39.about that from Yaya Toure? You could watch that over and over
:48:40. > :48:45.again. Fabulous football. A long way back for West Brom already.
:48:46. > :48:54.An unlikely west from fan, Goran Ivanisevic, who has been a fan since
:48:55. > :49:00.there are unlikely escape in 2005 -- West Brom fan.
:49:01. > :49:10.It was always a tight angle. Just watch Sergio Aguero. He knew he was
:49:11. > :49:12.not getting the ball and he waited. He was away and they were not
:49:13. > :49:24.catching him. Shane Long has an opportunity, was
:49:25. > :49:35.he caught? The referee says he wasn't. Long grounded and
:49:36. > :49:40.frustrated. He feels he was caught. Aleksandar Kolarov was the one who
:49:41. > :49:44.made the challenge. He did not get the ball but I am not sure he got
:49:45. > :49:49.the man either. West Brom have scored in nine of their last ten
:49:50. > :50:01.games. They know they need a goal. Was Aleksandar Kolarov Cotes? He
:50:02. > :50:03.was. It is a penalty. -- caught? The Serbian was just too quick for him.
:50:04. > :50:14.There is the contact. Die actuary will put this beyond
:50:15. > :50:21.West Bromwich Albion. He does it. That will be just the second away
:50:22. > :50:27.win of the Premier league season for Manchester City. -- Yaya Toure will
:50:28. > :50:31.put this beyond them. He made absolutely sure of it. Any faint
:50:32. > :50:42.hope West Bromwich Albion heart has just been distinguished. Some have
:50:43. > :50:43.seen enough and will be back on Saturday for the visit of Norwich
:50:44. > :51:08.hoping for a more positive outcome. The cross has gone in off the
:51:09. > :51:16.goalkeeper. West Bromwich Albion have got a goal back. Good play
:51:17. > :51:22.initially. When he drilled the crossing. Full. Full.
:51:23. > :51:34.-- when he drilled the cross in, it came off the goalkeeper.
:51:35. > :51:42.Only the third defeat in 11 games. He will look to the next two home
:51:43. > :51:43.games against Norwich and Hull four points as far as West from our
:51:44. > :51:51.concerned. Victor in each of the! With
:51:52. > :51:59.virtually the last kick of the game, victor in each of the -- Victor
:52:00. > :52:08.Anichebe has made it 3-2. Too little, too late for West Bromwich
:52:09. > :52:15.Albion. Finishing past Costel Pantilimon, and in the 94th minute
:52:16. > :52:18.it is 2-3. I think we played really well in the first-half, we scored
:52:19. > :52:27.two goals and had three or four clear chances. The second half, we
:52:28. > :52:36.controlled the game, and maybe we were thinking the match was over.
:52:37. > :52:41.The last five minutes, they scored those goals. We kept going, kept
:52:42. > :52:45.battling away, and I think the scoreline was a fairer reflection on
:52:46. > :52:51.our effort than 3-0 would have been. We kept plugging away. Now we will
:52:52. > :52:56.dust ourselves down. It felt good but in the end we had heavy legs. It
:52:57. > :53:00.is the kind of game where you don't need to try and be a hero, because
:53:01. > :53:10.otherwise you just blow up. I am really happy with the Halle --
:53:11. > :53:15.result. City fans will be pleased to see him back. Sensational goals. If
:53:16. > :53:18.in style to the individual ones we have seen. That has been the
:53:19. > :53:26.problem, winning the games away from home. Apart from West Ham, they have
:53:27. > :53:36.not won enough. He had the awareness and the vision to pull it back
:53:37. > :53:47.there. Again, the full-back, Super -- great ball, get the finish past
:53:48. > :53:48.Boaz Myhill. They can hit you from so many angles. They have scored
:53:49. > :53:53.more goals than anyone else. so many angles. They have scored
:53:54. > :53:55.more goals than anyone Why has it taken Manchester City a while to win
:53:56. > :54:01.away from home? They are so brilliant at home. It is hard to put
:54:02. > :54:04.a finger on it. Maybe it is the new manager getting to grips with the
:54:05. > :54:12.Premier League, we do not know. What I have liked about them, you have an
:54:13. > :54:15.embarrassment of riches in midfield. The fullbacks are creating
:54:16. > :54:22.a lot of chances. They are starting to click, which is good. Vincent
:54:23. > :54:27.Kompany is back as well. Ominous for the other teams in the Premier
:54:28. > :54:30.League. Arsenal continued to defy the cynics who believe they cannot
:54:31. > :54:34.win the title, including some of them from this very programme.
:54:35. > :54:43.Arsene Wenger is not amused. Tonight's visit was from Hull City.
:54:44. > :54:47.A total of five changes, with Nicklas Bendtner making his
:54:48. > :54:56.A total of five changes, with first league start since March 2011
:54:57. > :55:01.tonight. Hull City, fresh from their victory over Liverpool, make three
:55:02. > :55:03.changes. James Chester comes in for Curtis Davies, Danny Graham is
:55:04. > :55:27.preferred to Robert Koren. It is Carl Jenkinson, what a
:55:28. > :55:31.delivery, what a start to the match! Unbelievable, it is Nicklas
:55:32. > :55:44.Bendtner! He has taken 90 seconds to score. It is 2.75 years since he
:55:45. > :55:50.started in the league for the club. It is his first goal since 2011 for
:55:51. > :55:57.Arsenal. What a blistering start. Slightly mixed reception when his
:55:58. > :56:05.name was announced over the tannoy. He has certainly created a buzz
:56:06. > :56:19.now. Could be a long night for some. Hull City cannot get a kick.
:56:20. > :56:28.There is Per Mertesacker, who scored the winning goal for Germany at
:56:29. > :56:38.Wembley the other week. It almost felt to Aaron Ramsey but
:56:39. > :56:41.Allan McGregor was there. Arsenal were very close to getting another
:56:42. > :56:52.goal. Aaron Ramsey is still going, he
:56:53. > :56:55.wants the penalty, which he is not awarded by the referee. What a
:56:56. > :57:01.contest between the pair of them. Looked to have it covered but it
:57:02. > :57:16.came off his Achilles. Almost a second goal for Nicklas
:57:17. > :57:21.Bendtner. Constant attacking play here from Arsenal. Nicklas Bendtner
:57:22. > :57:34.was surprised to find the ball at his feet. Arsenal will try again.
:57:35. > :57:44.Good save by Allan McGregor! Aaron Ramsey was quick to let fly and it
:57:45. > :57:47.was a fine fingertip save from Hull's Scottish international
:57:48. > :57:51.goalkeeper. Apart from winning at Newcastle, Hull have lost all of
:57:52. > :58:07.their away games so far. Five defeats.
:58:08. > :58:29.That was inviting. Nobody there to poke at the ball.
:58:30. > :58:41.Lovely play, absolutely brilliant! What a goal! Hull's players
:58:42. > :58:46.complaining that the ball went out of play, my initial thought was it
:58:47. > :58:53.did not. Despite their protestations the game continued. I think it was
:58:54. > :58:58.the right decision, I don't think it had gone out. Message is all has his
:58:59. > :59:12.fourth goal of the season. -- message was -- Mesut Ozil.
:59:13. > :59:24.Know the ball is with Nicklas Bendtner. Aaron Ramsey! Saved by
:59:25. > :59:32.Allan McGregor. Arsenal were quick to break and Hull City's goalkeeper
:59:33. > :59:36.makes the save. Olivier Giroud left out of the
:59:37. > :59:48.starting 11 for the first time tonight. Given a rest.
:59:49. > :59:57.The shot by Livermore was firmly struck. It did not test the Arsenal
:59:58. > :00:06.goalkeeper in the end. Arsenal so confident in possession. The crowd
:00:07. > :00:14.willing a third goal. Ozil was hauled -- halted at the very last
:00:15. > :00:17.moment. A tremendous block. Another highly satisfactory day at the
:00:18. > :00:23.office for Arsene Wenger and for Arsenal. Niklas Bendtner has not had
:00:24. > :00:27.the easiest time in the last couple of years but you give him a chance
:00:28. > :00:30.tonight. The first time he started in the Premier League for about two
:00:31. > :00:36.and three quarters years. They did not take him long to make his point?
:00:37. > :00:41.In our job we have to be open-minded and never have another definite
:00:42. > :00:47.judgement on people. He came back, worked hard in training. I know he
:00:48. > :00:51.has the qualities. He has shown that tonight. They are confident enough
:00:52. > :00:55.at the moment, riding high in the league. When they go a goal ahead
:00:56. > :01:01.after a minute, it becomes difficult evening. I was delighted to get in
:01:02. > :01:05.at just one at half-time. Lo and behold we have done exactly the same
:01:06. > :01:09.after a minute of the second half. We had to roll our sleeves up and
:01:10. > :01:13.show resilience, otherwise it could have been one of these embarrassing
:01:14. > :01:22.evenings which can happen when this latter playing the way they are.
:01:23. > :01:28.Lets just keep our attitude good. Desire, good togetherness and go to
:01:29. > :01:33.the next game. He looks happy. You know it is a very special Match of
:01:34. > :01:38.the Day when Niklas Bendtner scores. It is not expected. I can guarantee
:01:39. > :01:42.you when he read -- when Arsene Wenger read the Matt and his name
:01:43. > :01:48.was mentioned, he would have been praying for that start. This was a
:01:49. > :01:54.well worked goal, so early in the game. A brilliant cross. The
:01:55. > :01:59.movement is fantastic. Great ball by Ramsey. Great cross. A little run
:02:00. > :02:07.near post and a great header into the corner. A great team goal. To
:02:08. > :02:13.typical Arsenal, wasn't it? The way they started the game. And also the
:02:14. > :02:21.second half. A brilliant ball in and an excellent header. Arsene Wenger
:02:22. > :02:29.has come out publicly about the opinions expressed here. Do you
:02:30. > :02:33.still stick to your guns? I am not saying anything different to what
:02:34. > :02:36.Jose Mourinho and Pellegrini said, I might? I said Chelsea at the
:02:37. > :02:42.beginning of the season and I will not change my mind. Where do you
:02:43. > :02:46.stand? You look at their form so far. The table does not lie. They
:02:47. > :02:54.have been the best side so far. Can they win it? I think they can.
:02:55. > :02:57.Finally, we have found someone! The weekend after next, we have got the
:02:58. > :03:24.BBC Sports Personality of the Year. Nigel Mansell wins! The greatest
:03:25. > :03:39.British Olympian of all time, Steven Redgrave.
:03:40. > :03:47.Always a great night. You can vote for this year's BBC Sports
:03:48. > :03:52.Personality of the Year during the show on the 15th of December. To
:03:53. > :04:00.vote online, you will need to register. Find out more on the
:04:01. > :04:05.website. Before then, there is the small matter of the World Cup draw,
:04:06. > :04:09.which takes place on Friday. We will be live on BBC Two with all of the
:04:10. > :04:24.news. Roberto Martinez will be joining us in the studio.
:04:25. > :04:32.After the sacking of Martin Jol on Sunday, Rene Meulensteen was quickly
:04:33. > :04:34.into the hot seat for the game against a Spurs side without a win
:04:35. > :04:43.in four matches. His agent says he wants to leave
:04:44. > :04:48.Fulham, but Dimitar Berbatov is back to lead the line against his former
:04:49. > :04:53.club. He got the winner in their last meeting at White Hart Lane in
:04:54. > :04:57.March. Lack of goals has been Tottenham's chief weakness solver.
:04:58. > :05:05.Jermain Defoe is preferred to Roberto Soldado. Rene Meulensteen
:05:06. > :05:10.becomes full's sixth manager in six years after the sacking of Martin
:05:11. > :05:17.Jol. Andre Villas-Boas could face the same fate if Tottenham's results
:05:18. > :05:20.do not pick up soon. Tottenham's form against Fulham is mightily
:05:21. > :05:32.impressive in the Premier League. They have won six of the last seven
:05:33. > :05:37.meetings. Great save by Lloris! I think he was going the wrong way.
:05:38. > :05:40.Lovely ball in by Kasami. Berger Toff brought it down well. --
:05:41. > :06:06.Dimitar Berbatov. Brilliant feat by Paulinho. What a
:06:07. > :06:13.mess! From one end of the pitch to the other. As soon as Fulham
:06:14. > :06:20.miscued, you knew they were in danger. Paulinho was fabulous until
:06:21. > :06:27.that moment they. Somehow it is still scorers. Tottenham's passing
:06:28. > :06:35.is more accurate than it was in the first-half. As yet, they have not
:06:36. > :06:45.really hurtful. -- hurt for them. Dejagah! For lamb in front. --
:06:46. > :06:51.Fulham. Dejagah with his first-ever Premier League goal. Didn't he take
:06:52. > :06:59.it beautifully. Dawson lost his balance. Parker had a nibble. The
:07:00. > :07:08.quality cross. An unerring finish by Dejagah. Dimitar Berbatov was always
:07:09. > :07:15.likely to be involved. Fulham take the lead. Are they on course for
:07:16. > :07:19.their first win in 44 days? What are Tottenham made of, as they look to
:07:20. > :07:43.force their way back into this game? Steklenburg Pam 's the ball behind.
:07:44. > :07:46.Paulinho threw himself towards it. Fine goalkeeping. Still plenty of
:07:47. > :07:56.time to find the equaliser but not with corners like that. Chiriches! A
:07:57. > :08:06.goal out of nothing. Steklenburg was flat-footed. Chiriches /that
:08:07. > :08:14.possibly with his eyes closed. It is a real grass court through a sea of
:08:15. > :08:17.bodies. The Romanian international's first goal for
:08:18. > :08:23.Tottenham. Relief for Andre Villas-Boas. Both teams now with
:08:24. > :08:34.their foot firmly on the pedal, looking for the winning goal. Foul
:08:35. > :08:37.given against Lewis Holtby. Dimitar Berbatov! A wonderful save by
:08:38. > :09:08.lorries. -- Lloris. Holby! -- Holtby! What a goal. And
:09:09. > :09:16.what an important three points that may be for Andre Villas-Boas and
:09:17. > :09:19.Tottenham Hotspur. Lewis Holtby told Andros Townsend to leave it alone
:09:20. > :09:25.and the fairly thumped it beyond Steklenburg. His first-ever goal in
:09:26. > :09:31.the Premier League. It has been worth the wait. It is a cracker.
:09:32. > :09:37.Fulham, having led early in the second half, now trail 2-1 and face
:09:38. > :09:46.the prospect of a sixth league defeat in succession. Walker did
:09:47. > :09:53.well to find Holtby. Steklenburg denies Paulinho what would surely
:09:54. > :09:55.have been the third goal. Steklenburg at full stretch able to
:09:56. > :10:09.keep it out. Somehow Lloris kept it out. He comes
:10:10. > :10:44.again to Tottenham's rescue. The shot away. Somehow it was kept
:10:45. > :10:49.out. The referee looks at his watch. Andre Villas-Boas looks at the
:10:50. > :10:53.referee. There is a fist pump from the manager of Tottenham before
:10:54. > :11:00.shaking the hands of Rene Meulensteen. The most important
:11:01. > :11:03.thing I have asked of the players, I wanted a really inspired
:11:04. > :11:08.performance, for themselves first and foremost. That is how you win
:11:09. > :11:11.the fans back. That is what we did tonight. We were both looking for a
:11:12. > :11:17.win to put our challenge back on track. We could not wait any longer.
:11:18. > :11:23.It had to happen today. And we did it in the most difficult fashion. We
:11:24. > :11:26.have lost the game but we won a lot on other fronts. That will give us a
:11:27. > :11:35.lot of heart for another cracking game. Terrific
:11:36. > :11:44.comeback for Spurs. Two unbelievably good goals. Very good goals. It was
:11:45. > :11:52.a big win for a stop --. Chiriches did not even take a touch. Right in
:11:53. > :11:57.the corner. This was like the kind of goal that Gareth Bale used to
:11:58. > :12:02.scorer last season. Lewis Holtby. He needs to do it more. More
:12:03. > :12:09.encouraging for Fulham. A new manager. That always happens. A new
:12:10. > :12:14.manager comes in, the players want to impress. Seven changes. A lot of
:12:15. > :12:18.players showed a lot of character until the 90th minute. They were
:12:19. > :12:27.trying to get back into the game. A great save by Lloris. Four straight
:12:28. > :12:33.wins have propelled Newcastle into the top six and confidence was high
:12:34. > :12:40.for tonight's trip to Swansea. They have won just once in six home games
:12:41. > :12:46.this season. Swansea beat Newcastle here last March. Since then, Swansea
:12:47. > :12:54.have won just one of their 11 home fixture. Michel Vorm returns for the
:12:55. > :13:01.home side. Finding the net has not been a problem of late for
:13:02. > :13:27.Newcastle. They have had four consecutive victories.
:13:28. > :13:37.Pushed away to safety by Michel Vorm. The best chance of the night
:13:38. > :13:45.so far. Loic Remy rose high. A brilliant stop by Michel Vorm. Alan
:13:46. > :13:47.Pardew approaching almost three years in the managerial hot seat at
:13:48. > :14:16.Saint James 's Park. Chico Flores, to Jonjo Shelvey, all
:14:17. > :14:26.waiting. Tim Krul unable to planet away.
:14:27. > :14:35.Nathan Dyer! Swansea make the breakthrough.
:14:36. > :14:44.Stoppage time at the end of the first-half. Swansea have had so much
:14:45. > :14:52.possession in this first-half, but they have not fashioned a serious
:14:53. > :15:01.chance of note until now. Plays the ball across, Tim Krul knocks it away
:15:02. > :15:04.but it felt so nicely for the substitute, Nathan Dyer, who gets
:15:05. > :15:18.his third goal of the season. It is 1-0.
:15:19. > :15:26.Can he get the shot away? Blocked. Newcastle are claiming handball.
:15:27. > :15:32.Howard Webb not in the least bit interested. Mathieu Debuchy goes
:15:33. > :15:38.flying in for the challenge. There is certainly a card to be shown, it
:15:39. > :15:45.is yellow. Newcastle convinced they should have had a penalty here.
:15:46. > :16:01.Howard Webb said it was not a penalty.
:16:02. > :16:13.Lovely ball forward, Jonjo Shelvey, can he beat him? Yes! In the most
:16:14. > :16:18.fortuitous manner possible. Jonjo Shelvey racing forward here. Tim
:16:19. > :16:28.Krul makes the save and it comes off the defender last of all. It is an
:16:29. > :16:31.own goal from Mathieu Debuchy. It all stemmed from the incident where
:16:32. > :16:52.Yoan Gouffran could not keep possession. 2-0.
:16:53. > :17:01.Almost played it over the top of Tim Krul for the third goal. Great stop
:17:02. > :17:06.from Tim Krul, and a little bit of fighting afterwards.
:17:07. > :17:16.Fantastic stop from Tim Krul. Newcastle's run of four successive
:17:17. > :17:33.victories looks like it is coming to an end.
:17:34. > :17:43.Jonjo Shelvey! This time it is his goal, no doubt about that. It is
:17:44. > :17:56.surely victory for Swansea city. Tim Krul beaten for a third time
:17:57. > :18:03.tonight. Swansea's sparkling possession football results in a
:18:04. > :18:08.goal. Look at where he picks it up. First-time ball in. Tim Krul gets a
:18:09. > :18:12.hand to it but nothing more. Swansea City have surely wrapped up their
:18:13. > :18:17.second home victory of the season. 3-0.
:18:18. > :18:23.We played well first-half, continued in the second half, scored another
:18:24. > :18:31.two goals. They had a couple of chances, but I think in the end, it
:18:32. > :18:36.was really deserved result for us. I am happy for the players we needed
:18:37. > :18:43.this. It is a blatant penalty, the handball, and the reaction said it
:18:44. > :18:48.all. He did not think his arm moved towards the ball, but it is going in
:18:49. > :18:53.the back of the net, it is a penalty, so I disagree with him on
:18:54. > :18:57.that. The Jonjo Shelvey one, he did not see, the second one, you did not
:18:58. > :19:06.think was a penalty. I have to accept that. Excellent win. It stops
:19:07. > :19:11.momentum for your team. Has he got a point about the penalty? Yes, it was
:19:12. > :19:18.a crucial point of the game. It was 1-0. The ball comes into him, and it
:19:19. > :19:23.is Ben Davies. His arm is actually out. It is not as if it is by his
:19:24. > :19:28.side. That is going in. It is a blatant penalty. I cannot believe
:19:29. > :19:35.nobody mentioned it because he gives him a bit of a nut. A few minutes
:19:36. > :19:38.later he scored the goal. The penalty, the head but, then he
:19:39. > :19:48.breaks away ten minutes later again. He could easily have gone
:19:49. > :19:55.down. Good victory for Swansea. After being thrashed at Everton,
:19:56. > :19:59.Stoke City look to bounce back against Cardiff.
:20:00. > :20:11.Difficult times. Stoke have only one victory in ten.
:20:12. > :20:31.Cardiff have their left back making only his second league start.
:20:32. > :20:43.He did well to make the angle, was Peter Crouch being held? It was
:20:44. > :20:46.actually hindering the holding, that is the referee's interpretation.
:20:47. > :20:55.Peter Crouch feels this was maybe the wrong decision. Good play to get
:20:56. > :21:10.the angle. Peter Crouch in the centre. Who is doing the holding?
:21:11. > :21:14.David Marshall was a big barrier therefore Cardiff. It remains
:21:15. > :21:26.goalless. Delicious through ball. The flag
:21:27. > :21:32.stays down. Give David Marshall top marks. He made himself a huge
:21:33. > :21:35.barrier. Malky Mackay's team have been pushed back in the last five
:21:36. > :21:44.minutes or so. Better signs here from Mark Hughes.
:21:45. > :21:57.Fraizer Campbell is on his own. He has been caught. Second yellow card
:21:58. > :22:05.this season for Charlie Adam for this trip here.
:22:06. > :22:08.Strong play, good play. The shot deflects behind for a corner for
:22:09. > :22:30.Cardiff. Jordon Mutch has scored twice this
:22:31. > :22:33.season. This was a good save from Asmir Begovic. The chances have been
:22:34. > :22:50.very few and far between this half. Offside, it will not count. Geoff
:22:51. > :22:59.Cameron scored his first goal this season against Arsenal, he has not
:23:00. > :23:04.scored his second goal yet. It was very close. Maybe just offside. It
:23:05. > :23:12.really was a tough call for the assistant.
:23:13. > :23:22.It is clumsy, it is awkward, it is only a goal kick. Cardiff are asking
:23:23. > :23:25.big questions here. It looked awkward on Fraizer Campbell. It was
:23:26. > :23:27.Marc Wilson, the defender, off-balance for sure. It is clumsy.
:23:28. > :23:37.Maybe he is lucky. Peter Whittingham was caught late.
:23:38. > :24:02.Pull-back for a Cardiff free kick. Off the ball, Fraizer Campbell has
:24:03. > :24:12.gone down. What did the referee C in that little melee? -- referee see?
:24:13. > :24:17.Yellow card for Fraizer Campbell, yellow card for Peter Crouch. It is
:24:18. > :24:20.not Peter Crouch, it is Charlie Adam. He had a first-half yellow
:24:21. > :24:33.card. He is a lucky man. Stoke City's lack of goals has been
:24:34. > :24:36.a major worry this season for them. Charlie Adam with the elbow on
:24:37. > :25:07.Jordon Mutch. Cross behind for a corner, but it
:25:08. > :25:13.was a fine effort. Asmir Begovic had to make a very smart save, the
:25:14. > :25:18.18-year-old was that close to a winner. We need to keep the home
:25:19. > :25:21.form nice and solid. We have been decent enough, but obviously, we
:25:22. > :25:25.need maximum points in games and that is what we are looking to do.
:25:26. > :25:29.Cardiff will make things difficult on the road because they are
:25:30. > :25:34.well-organised, they get people running the ball and they make
:25:35. > :25:38.things difficult for you. Charlie Adam should maybe have had a second
:25:39. > :25:45.yellow card. I am not sure if the referee has seen it. It was
:25:46. > :25:48.certainly a booking. I suppose Charlie Adam can count himself lucky
:25:49. > :25:53.that they were not down to ten men. Probably very lucky, it is quite
:25:54. > :26:00.possibly the most interesting aspect of that game. It was a case of
:26:01. > :26:05.mistaken identity. Charlie Adam is a lucky guy. He gets booked for the
:26:06. > :26:11.first one, Fraizer Campbell, the referee get that one correct. Yellow
:26:12. > :26:15.card. I am looking at that, Peter Crouch ends up getting booked and I
:26:16. > :26:19.don't know what the referee has seen because he is looking at the
:26:20. > :26:25.referee. I smacked it is hard to mistake them. He did. What is so bad
:26:26. > :26:31.about this one, you can see Charlie Adam having a little loop. The arm
:26:32. > :26:37.was high. Lucky guy tonight. -- little look. I suppose both teams
:26:38. > :26:42.might have not been too dissatisfied. There was not much to
:26:43. > :26:47.choose between. The fact that we are talking about bookings tells you a
:26:48. > :26:54.lot about the game. It was an easy final choice. There was one game
:26:55. > :26:55.played last night, Tony Pulis leading at Crystal Palace against
:26:56. > :27:08.West Ham. Revell Morrison has got it. Quickly
:27:09. > :27:18.closed down. Crosses back into the box. Just headed over the bar.
:27:19. > :27:28.Barry Bannan with the ball in, Crystal Palace lead! Into the near
:27:29. > :27:33.post. He did well to win it. He managed to touch it back, keep it in
:27:34. > :27:38.a beauty of a cross. Marouane Chamakh was on his own, all he
:27:39. > :27:46.needed to do was steer it in. Could get them further behind. Jussi
:27:47. > :27:54.Jaaskelainen is out to meet him. Sliced off the post. Did he get a
:27:55. > :28:02.glove to it? He did. Barry Bannan with the corner.
:28:03. > :28:09.Header over the top! He tried to stay in the air, hang on in there.
:28:10. > :28:12.The reaction of Tony Pulis tells us how good a chance that was. There
:28:13. > :28:21.might be another one for Crystal Palace. He is into the box. Marouane
:28:22. > :28:32.Chamakh... Really important save from the West Ham keeper.
:28:33. > :28:39.Bush has been spotted. Is it going to count? -- a push. West Ham
:28:40. > :28:46.thought they had scored. The flag was being waived.
:28:47. > :28:57.Over the bar! Full-time at Selhurst Park, 1-0 to Crystal Palace. We need
:28:58. > :29:03.victories and we need to win the home games. To get off to that sort
:29:04. > :29:08.of start is brilliant. Everybody has put a shift in. When you are a goal
:29:09. > :29:14.down, to get you back in the game, it is critical. When they go against
:29:15. > :29:17.you, when they should not do, both people were talking shirts. I
:29:18. > :29:21.thought it was given for offside at that stage but the fourth official
:29:22. > :29:27.told me it was a foul. Now I have looked at it, and looked at it from
:29:28. > :29:33.the angle of the assistant referee, and unfortunately he got it horribly
:29:34. > :29:38.wrong. Is Morrison OK? He looked angry. Like everybody, we are
:29:39. > :29:42.disappointed when we lose. People react in different ways. As long as
:29:43. > :29:46.he doesn't get into trouble, then you can show your displeasure as
:29:47. > :29:51.much as you like, I am very angry myself. Great result tonight. Clean
:29:52. > :29:59.sheet, which we are Westbridge to collect. -- desperate. It gives us
:30:00. > :30:06.three points which we are really pleased with. Massive win for Tony
:30:07. > :30:09.Pulis, and interestingly, focused on the clean sheet because they have
:30:10. > :30:16.only conceded one goal in their last four games. If they can keep that
:30:17. > :30:26.they will have a chance. Absolutely. That will give them huge confidence.
:30:27. > :30:30.This gives them a fighting chance. I think any team that comes up it is
:30:31. > :30:36.important you get points on the board. They will have that spirit
:30:37. > :30:40.because Tony Pulis always get that. That is what you can guarantee. He
:30:41. > :30:48.will get a bitter fight into the team. West Ham need to start scoring
:30:49. > :30:53.away from home. It does not take a genius to work that out. Let us have
:30:54. > :31:00.a look at the Premier League table. It is as you were at the top after
:31:01. > :31:11.the top five clubs all got the victories. The Gunners are 12 points
:31:12. > :31:14.clear of Manchester United. Sunderland continue to prop up the
:31:15. > :31:19.table. Crystal Palace are level on points with Fulham. Both clubs are
:31:20. > :31:22.three points adrift. This is the morning papers. The Times focuses on
:31:23. > :31:40.Everton winning at Old Trafford. The daily express has a word of
:31:41. > :31:48.caution for England fans travelling to the World Cup. Even mice has
:31:49. > :31:50.finally seen Everton win at Old Trafford. -- David Moyes.
