:00:52. > :00:56.Hello there, we may be on somewhat later than usual, but believe me
:00:57. > :00:59.it's worth staying up for. We've got six sparkling games that are assured
:01:00. > :01:31.of keeping you awake until the midnight hour, possibly.
:01:32. > :01:36.Seldom have there been more England goals in the studio, just lacking
:01:37. > :01:40.Sir Bobby Charlton really. Both Alan Shearer and Michael Owen have
:01:41. > :01:43.promised to take it in turns to point out the shocking defending. We
:01:44. > :01:47.start in West London with Chelsea against a West Brom side who haven't
:01:48. > :01:50.won at Stamford Bridge for 35 years. The 14 previous meetings between
:01:51. > :01:54.these two clubs have seen a total of 13 managers take part. Today, 'the
:01:55. > :02:01.special one' was up against another of his apprentices. Before the
:02:02. > :02:04.match, Jose Mourinho and Steve Clarke were among those across the
:02:05. > :02:05.UK who joined together with players and supporters to remember those who
:02:06. > :02:39.bravely fought for their country. COMMENTATOR: Eden Hazard back in the
:02:40. > :02:42.good books, left out of Wednesday's Champions League game, he returns to
:02:43. > :02:47.make amends along with Frank Lampard, also missing from the
:02:48. > :02:53.midweek side. Azpilicueta is at left back with Ashley Cole only as sub.
:02:54. > :02:57.Albion have scored one goal in their last eight games here and the man
:02:58. > :03:05.who got it, Shane Long, keeps his place. Steve Reid makes his first
:03:06. > :03:18.league appearance of the season. He is in for the injured Billy Jones.
:03:19. > :03:26.Hazard, driving through. Fouled by Yacob. He will get a yellow card.
:03:27. > :03:31.Brought back into the team today in place of James Morrison, presumably
:03:32. > :03:33.to do that job, break it up and get into Chelsea. This one could be
:03:34. > :03:46.damaging. He has a go. Myhill had to get
:03:47. > :03:55.across. He made the save look rather nonchalance. Remembrance weekend,
:03:56. > :04:03.Chelsea for the fifth year are entertaining Conor Locket. His
:04:04. > :04:16.father was killed in Afghanistan in 2009. It's a lovely touch.
:04:17. > :04:28.Hazard, the shots on. Myhill saves it well, but it's turned in. Eto'o
:04:29. > :04:34.is there to bounce again. No goalkeeper is safe when Samule Eto'o
:04:35. > :04:37.is around. Super work from Hazard. It's not the goalkeeper really
:04:38. > :04:42.caught out this time. Myhill couldn't really do more than he did.
:04:43. > :04:48.Liam Ridgewell had his pocket picked by Eto'o. Another goal that he has
:04:49. > :04:50.nicked for himself. Chelsea one, West Bromwich Albion nil. It's
:04:51. > :05:09.Eto'o's fourth goal for the Blues. Ramires has a couple of hacks at
:05:10. > :05:21.him. Sessegnon keeps his feet. Into Long. Off the post, Cech beaten.
:05:22. > :05:27.Cech has not had a save to make. He very nearly didn't get close to that
:05:28. > :05:33.one. I don't think Cech was getting there. So 100 games at the home
:05:34. > :05:37.dug-out at Stamford Bridge. He has only lost two, not including penalty
:05:38. > :05:43.shoot-outs. Much more life about the Baggies
:05:44. > :06:03.here. Sessegnon, stopped by Terry. A team whose supporters haven't had
:06:04. > :06:09.a lot to shout about when they have come to the capital in recent times.
:06:10. > :06:16.Only one win in their 15 league games played in London. That was at
:06:17. > :06:21.QPR last Boxing Day. The corner in. McAuley. Saved by Cech, good save
:06:22. > :06:28.too. It's followed up. It's in. Shane Long has got it. The warning
:06:29. > :06:32.signs have been there for Chelsea. West Bromwich Albion have been
:06:33. > :06:40.knocking. Finally, Shane Long has got in. Not a flicker of emotion
:06:41. > :06:51.from Steve Clarke, but plenty from the fans. McAuley is a danger, we
:06:52. > :06:54.know that. Shane Long climbed brilliantly after Cech's Parry up
:06:55. > :06:59.into the air. Look at that standing jump. One of the smallest men in
:07:00. > :07:04.there. It's a terrific leap from Long, who has had to work so hard
:07:05. > :07:06.for that goal. In between Lampard and Terry. Chelsea one, West
:07:07. > :07:32.Bromwich Albion one. Lost the ball to Yacob, then to
:07:33. > :07:36.Ridgewell. Here goes Sessegnon. Ridgewell. Numbers arriving from the
:07:37. > :07:40.far side. Here's Sessegnon in the middle. It's through Cech. West
:07:41. > :07:48.Bromwich Albion have turned it around to lead at Stamford Bridge.
:07:49. > :07:53.Sessegnon's alone. Never usually needs a second invitation to shoot.
:07:54. > :07:57.He took it away from Terry nicely, but set up the chance. It still
:07:58. > :08:03.should have been saved by Cech. The hands don't move quickly enough.
:08:04. > :08:17.It's Chelsea, one, West Bromwich Albion, two. I have, dispole cresses
:08:18. > :08:23.Chris Brunt. Eto'o. Off Ridgewell. Willan. Myhill can't collect it.
:08:24. > :08:28.It's not away. A super save. Ramires was ready to follow up. Mata's
:08:29. > :08:34.there. It has gone behind. It will be a corner. That really is a top
:08:35. > :08:38.stop. What a way to brighten your 31st birthday. Chelsea have only
:08:39. > :08:44.lost successive Premier League games under Jose Mourinho once. At the end
:08:45. > :08:51.of 05/06, when they were already champions.
:08:52. > :09:00.Back in towards Ba. Willan heads over. Will Chelsea get a better
:09:01. > :09:05.chance? Not in control of the header.
:09:06. > :09:11.This is a new experience for Chelsea supporters, who have never seen
:09:12. > :09:12.their team beaten at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League under Jose
:09:13. > :09:28.Mourinho's management. Willan did well against Morrison.
:09:29. > :09:31.Ridgewell couldn't dive in. Cahill across. Oh, Barnes missed it
:09:32. > :09:35.somehow. The ball needed to be in front of him, it was right at him.
:09:36. > :09:42.He couldn't adjust himself to apply a finishing touch. West Bromwich
:09:43. > :09:45.Albion have not won at Stamford Bridge for exactly 30 years ago to
:09:46. > :09:56.the day. Ramires caught by Mulumbu, Albion
:09:57. > :10:02.can break here. It's Brunt. He Hassanan to the left, Morrison to
:10:03. > :10:06.the right. Brunt through the middle by himself. Wrong choice. It might
:10:07. > :10:12.yet count against Albion. Brunt seemed to slow down with every step.
:10:13. > :10:17.Then he just went for the blaze of glory. He must be starting to beam
:10:18. > :10:21.inside, even if Steve Clarke won't show it outwardly. He will be
:10:22. > :10:31.glouerring though, absolutely seething.
:10:32. > :10:47.Eto'o, Ramires, down goes Ramires. Andre Marriner says penalty. Last
:10:48. > :10:52.seconds of the game. West Bromwich Albion, to a man and a coach, have
:10:53. > :10:56.plenty to say about it. Reid running across Ramires. Does he foul him? Is
:10:57. > :11:01.it shoulder to shoulder of coming together. Ramires happy to go to
:11:02. > :11:19.ground. Any defending team will say it's soft. This is huge. Hazard.
:11:20. > :11:24.Scores! So, so coolie. Chelsea have saved themselves. West Bromwich
:11:25. > :11:27.Albion are furious about it. Anichebe is involved with Ivanovic.
:11:28. > :11:33.This is all because of the penalty award. It's all too much for some.
:11:34. > :11:41.Controversial decision, big one for Chelsea. Doesn't Hazard take that
:11:42. > :11:44.chance well? Drama to the last. Chelsea two, West Bromwich Albion,
:11:45. > :11:49.two. You have just seen that penalty incident back once again. It was you
:11:50. > :11:53.involved. Tell us your thoughts? Again, looking at it, it felt like
:11:54. > :11:56.it at the time, it felt like it was soft. It felt like I stood my
:11:57. > :12:01.ground. There was no raising of the arm. My arms are by my side. It felt
:12:02. > :12:06.soft for me. Had a penalty, which for them is difficult to accept
:12:07. > :12:11.because it's a last-minute penalty. Now when they go home they seep see
:12:12. > :12:20.on the screen and change their opinion. You believe it's a
:12:21. > :12:24.clear-cut penalty? I don't believe it's not a clear penalty. I have the
:12:25. > :12:28.reason to be very upset with the referee's work. Which I accept, I
:12:29. > :12:33.have to say clearly it's a big mistake. Even the fourth official
:12:34. > :12:36.told me. Was it on your mind you were seconds away from losing that
:12:37. > :12:43.incredible unbeaten home Premier League record? You are right. The
:12:44. > :12:49.record is incredible. When I lose I think it's to celebrate, it's not to
:12:50. > :12:52.be upset. It's to celebrate an incredible record, match after
:12:53. > :12:58.match, one more match just had one more match to fantastic record. The
:12:59. > :13:06.day I lose a match at home, I'm going to have dinner a good
:13:07. > :13:09.restaurant to celebrate. Priceless. After the game, I spoke to a rather
:13:10. > :13:15.frustrated West Bromwich Albion boss. I imagine there is mixed
:13:16. > :13:20.emotions at the end of that game for you? There are a few emotions. I
:13:21. > :13:24.don't think they are mixed. I'm very, very sad for my team. They
:13:25. > :13:27.deserved to get all three points. I'm disappointed with the decision.
:13:28. > :13:31.It's another penalty decision that goes against us, in my opinion, it
:13:32. > :13:37.has cost us five points this season. Penalty decisions for and against
:13:38. > :13:40.us. I'm also immensely proud of the performance of the team. We came
:13:41. > :13:43.here, it's a difficult place to come, Chelsea are one of the teams
:13:44. > :13:47.that are going to fight for the title. We suffered the
:13:48. > :13:51.disappointment losing the goal before half-time, I don't think
:13:52. > :13:55.Chelsea had done enough in the first half to deserve to be in front.
:13:56. > :13:58.Second-half we played really well. We were good. We deserved all three
:13:59. > :14:02.points. You are talking about a sense of injustice there, do you
:14:03. > :14:07.feel like it works against perhaps the so-called smaller clubs when
:14:08. > :14:12.they go and visit big clubs like "Chelsea"? I think the atmosphere of
:14:13. > :14:16.the bigger stadiums when you go away from home can influence decisions,
:14:17. > :14:24.of course they can. It's Hume nature if it doesn't. I think the decision
:14:25. > :14:29.today was particularly galling it's not clear you can give a penalty for
:14:30. > :14:32.that decision. You played the game, the boy went into the box. He went
:14:33. > :14:37.down looking for, it the referee obliged him. You won at Old
:14:38. > :14:41.Trafford, close to winning here at Stamford Bridge. It must give you
:14:42. > :14:46.satisfaction, encouragement, as to how your team is performing
:14:47. > :14:50.afterall? The team by in large this year, apart from the slow start, has
:14:51. > :14:53.played well. We have had good performances. I'm concerned we have
:14:54. > :14:57.drawn a few games you don't pick up the points. It's important in this
:14:58. > :15:00.league to pick up wins. That is what I'm saying. I just feel today was
:15:01. > :15:05.three points. It would have made our position in the table look a little
:15:06. > :15:09.bit better than it is now. We keep going. We fight the big boys and go
:15:10. > :15:13.away from home and try to play with no fear. We try and play with a bit
:15:14. > :15:17.of personality. I think we achieved that today. Hopefully the Albion
:15:18. > :15:19.fans are going back, as well as being angry and disappointed, I hope
:15:20. > :15:29.they are proud of their team, I am. Clearly frustrated. What did you
:15:30. > :15:44.make of those decisions? I think this sound Chelsea up, too
:15:45. > :15:50.many touches on the ball. Ridgewell came in there. It went on to lead to
:15:51. > :15:56.West Brom's goal. I do not think that is a foul at all. I think the
:15:57. > :16:00.referee got that one right. He was too slow on the ball, too many
:16:01. > :16:07.touches. That is a shocking decision. There
:16:08. > :16:13.is no way ever that is a penalty. Is it a dive? He is looking for it,
:16:14. > :16:18.last minute. Watch Steven Reid, his arm isn't up, he doesn't trip him.
:16:19. > :16:25.Ramirez is right into him. It is a poor decision for me, more
:16:26. > :16:30.of a fall than a dive, looking for a penalty. Chelsea over the duration
:16:31. > :16:36.of the game were at times pedestrian and not creative. Similar to how
:16:37. > :16:41.they played against Newcastle last week.
:16:42. > :16:47.Too many touches, they didn't get in behind West Brom enough times. Not
:16:48. > :16:51.one of them is looking to try to get into this space. Frank Lampard is
:16:52. > :16:58.going towards the ball as too many people did today. The ball is not
:16:59. > :17:04.coming into the box at all. For touches. They made it easier than it
:17:05. > :17:08.should have been for West Brom who were comfortable. Everything Chelsea
:17:09. > :17:14.did was in front of the back four, in front of midfield. Not one
:17:15. > :17:22.thought to knock the ball into the box. Negative to knock it sideways.
:17:23. > :17:30.Eventually West Brom frustrate them. Five players at the front line, not
:17:31. > :17:34.one the king to go. Again, no penetration. It is frustrating
:17:35. > :17:41.football. They have possession but are not doing anything with it.
:17:42. > :17:47.Nothing at all. It gets taken out again. West Brom were comfortable. A
:17:48. > :17:54.complete lack of wit. Look at the four guys in the middle. It must be
:17:55. > :18:00.frustrating for the fans. Eventually, they have no option but
:18:01. > :18:05.to sling it into the box. Six players within a 15 yard area. Lack
:18:06. > :18:10.of creation from Chelsea. That summed up the game.
:18:11. > :18:18.Did you see that as the main problem with Chelsea struggling? Mourinho's
:18:19. > :18:23.worst start with Chelsea. I fancied Chelsea at the start of
:18:24. > :18:27.the season. They are struggling to score from their main strikers but
:18:28. > :18:36.Chelsea aren't set up in that way. Their strength lies in Mata,
:18:37. > :18:43.Willian, Hazard. None of them are really firing at the minute. They
:18:44. > :18:47.need to get them firing again. Credit to West Brom. Organised,
:18:48. > :18:54.disciplined, dangerous. Their tactics were spot-on, really
:18:55. > :19:02.well organised. This guy, a real threat. Shane Long, giving them
:19:03. > :19:07.problems. John Terry, Cahill. Great movement. Unlucky not to score. He
:19:08. > :19:14.is very good in the air for a small guy. John Terry kicking from the
:19:15. > :19:21.corner. Good movement. This is what I like. He wants that, his hunger
:19:22. > :19:26.and desire to get above. He gets his goal. It wasn't just about his
:19:27. > :19:32.movement but were raped, helping his team out. Tracking back. The ball
:19:33. > :19:37.eventually fell to him. Watch his touch, how he brings his players
:19:38. > :19:40.into the game. Little lay off. I was really impressed.
:19:41. > :19:45.After losing at the Emirates last week, Liverpool were hoping to
:19:46. > :19:48.reduce the five-point gap on leaders Arsenal. Their opponents, Fulham,
:19:49. > :19:49.have only won at Anfield once in their previous 32 visits. The
:19:50. > :19:59.commentator was Jonathan Pearce. Luis Suarez has been given special
:20:00. > :20:09.clearance to play by Uruguay, winning the Dutch cup for Martin
:20:10. > :20:13.Jol. After looking suspect defensively at Arsenal, Liverpool
:20:14. > :20:21.revert to a back for leaving out Sakho and Toure. Agger starts in
:20:22. > :20:28.seven weeks. Coutinho is back in the first since mid-September. Fulham
:20:29. > :20:38.have defensive problems with Hangeland still injured.
:20:39. > :20:40.Kacaniklic the Ruiz. If the front players don't work back, it will be
:20:41. > :21:02.for defeats. -- four. Cissokho. Coutinho, dummy. Bringing
:21:03. > :21:06.in Gerrard. Suarez. Well saved by the goalkeeper Stekelenburg who read
:21:07. > :21:09.the situation well. Sharp awareness from the Dutch international
:21:10. > :21:19.goalkeeper. Cutting out the cross. The weight on the pass was
:21:20. > :21:34.immaculate. A good counter. Kate -- deflected into the side
:21:35. > :21:40.netting by Glen Johnson. Lovely move, Fulham. The shot had then but
:21:41. > :22:01.was deflected away. -- had venom. Sturridge spinning away from
:22:02. > :22:09.Kacaniklic. Dumped to the ground. Parker saying, not me. Richardson
:22:10. > :22:14.was the other player involved. As the one dried back, his feet were
:22:15. > :22:23.taken. Gerrard, still keeping things ticking over as he approaches 650
:22:24. > :22:29.games. With the free kick, it is in! Suarez wheels away and celebrates,
:22:30. > :22:38.Liverpool are ahead after 22 minutes. I think it went in off from
:22:39. > :22:46.Amorebieta. It did. It is an own goal. And Liverpool lead. No way
:22:47. > :22:52.Suarez can claim it. It went in off the defender.
:22:53. > :23:03.A lovely cross for Johnson who kept it in. Support from Henderson.
:23:04. > :23:12.Suarez, spinning away from Kasami. Wriggling, shimmying, still fighting
:23:13. > :23:18.for it. Gerrard stepped over. Johnson, a decent plot by Kasami.
:23:19. > :23:19.Henderson around the corner to Suarez, into Jordan Henderson and
:23:20. > :23:39.deflected away. Skrtel was there. Liverpool power
:23:40. > :23:49.into a two - zero lead on 25 minutes. Two goals in three minutes.
:23:50. > :23:57.Look at the white shirts in there, and look at them ball watching.
:23:58. > :24:01.Amorebieta with an own goal, then he failed to track Skrtel. Martin
:24:02. > :24:14.Skrtel's first goal since last December against Fulham.
:24:15. > :24:26.Three still in the middle. Coutinho. A good save. Liverpool are turning
:24:27. > :24:27.it on. Fulham are helping them. Stekelenburg between Liverpool and a
:24:28. > :24:41.3-0 lead. A lovely ball to Henderson. Steven
:24:42. > :24:48.Gerrard is playing very well. Suarez, for three. Brilliant,
:24:49. > :24:53.Liverpool. He has only been allowed to play by an Uruguay because
:24:54. > :24:57.Liverpool are jetting him out to Istanbul to make his international
:24:58. > :25:01.team-mates ahead of their World Cup qualifier against Jordan. That is
:25:02. > :25:07.how vital he is to this club, and how lethal he is at the moment.
:25:08. > :25:13.Gerrard's pass immaculate. They worked the ball on quickly. A lovely
:25:14. > :25:19.run, Fulham did not pick it up. And the finish, from the angle, so
:25:20. > :25:20.astute. Luis Suarez, seven games played for Liverpool, seven goals.
:25:21. > :25:33.22 in his 25 games. Taking Liverpool 22 minutes to open
:25:34. > :25:44.the floodgates today. Once they were open, the goals flooded in.
:25:45. > :25:55.Suarez to the left. And saved by his former Ajax team-mate Stekelenburg.
:25:56. > :26:04.Deflected into the path of storage, took his time. Suarez put it over.
:26:05. > :26:07.-- into the path of Sturridge. He was level with the defender
:26:08. > :26:10.according to the Assistant. A saved by the goalkeeper. The
:26:11. > :26:37.second one was more impressive. Gerrard ran him down. Suarez! Suarez
:26:38. > :26:44.has shown them, what a season if he is having. For all of his
:26:45. > :26:51.controversial pass, Suarez could be a World Cup star of 2014. At the
:26:52. > :26:55.moment, he is absolutely legal. Richardson was caught in
:26:56. > :27:02.possession. A cynical foul. Suarez chucked it in. He is in deadly form.
:27:03. > :27:15.Heads down, confidence sagging. Morale drooping. A well beaten team.
:27:16. > :27:18.Mike Myers, of Austin Powers fame. This is his first visit here since
:27:19. > :27:36.1975, very emotional about it all. Suarez, desperate for the hat-trick.
:27:37. > :27:44.Ten minutes to go. Looking for Coutinho. That was off Suarez.
:27:45. > :27:57.Just onside. Didn't know anything about it, Suarez. A remarkable
:27:58. > :28:01.testament to Fulham, since 2001 in the Premiership. Will that long run
:28:02. > :28:06.come to an end this season. All the work on the training ground undone
:28:07. > :28:10.by bad defending? Yes, we talked about it, did
:28:11. > :28:17.everything in training, but made the same mistake. We conceded these
:28:18. > :28:22.goals, it was very frustrating, not only for the fans but for me and the
:28:23. > :28:26.team. You can't come up with the same issues all the time. You must
:28:27. > :28:31.have been delighted with the first half, it was bewitching at times.
:28:32. > :28:38.First and foremost, our appetite for the game, the good football comes on
:28:39. > :28:43.the back of the mentality to work, our workrate was outstanding. Good
:28:44. > :28:47.players working hard, you saw the quality. Our cognition play was
:28:48. > :28:52.outstanding. You have a striker who will score
:28:53. > :28:59.goals, he puts in a shift, doesn't he? That is why he is one of the
:29:00. > :29:02.best players in the world. He does everything top strikers do but he
:29:03. > :29:09.does the hard work. In the second half, there was only
:29:10. > :29:12.one thing, to keep the damage down. That was the only strategy in the
:29:13. > :29:18.second half. Not enough for me or us.
:29:19. > :29:21.You went off, late on. A little bit of a niggle but I will get it seemed
:29:22. > :29:33.to and hopefully I can pull through. That is about as comfortable as it
:29:34. > :29:38.gets for Liverpool. Yes, Fulham did not truly turn up. And one man who
:29:39. > :29:45.set the tone for the game was Steven Gerrard. And not for the first time.
:29:46. > :29:50.He has virtually covered every blade of grass. And he has only played 65
:29:51. > :29:55.minutes. It was an awesome display. This is his rangefinder early on in
:29:56. > :30:01.the game. The ball breaks back to him. He's not admiring it. He is
:30:02. > :30:08.getting into these positions. Nicely weighted pass, and Luis Suarez
:30:09. > :30:12.could've done better. He has not just got vision. Look at that ball,
:30:13. > :30:19.inches away from both storage and Luis Suarez. He was just ahead of
:30:20. > :30:28.the game. He is thinking two three passes ahead of everyone else.
:30:29. > :30:36.Another lovely weighted pass. Nutmeg on Dimitar Berbatov. And this is an
:30:37. > :30:42.inch perfect cars. And this, he whips in that ball, he absolutely
:30:43. > :30:46.whips it in with pace. You only have to get your head on the ball, it is
:30:47. > :30:49.very potent. And then an easy through ball you would say, but
:30:50. > :30:54.again, the passes weighted perfectly. Even in the last few
:30:55. > :31:02.minutes on the pitch he's galloping forward. Much has been said about
:31:03. > :31:05.the Liverpool strike partnership. It would be good to hear that duo
:31:06. > :31:12.perform a great Liverpool striker. What do you think of Luis Suarez and
:31:13. > :31:15.Daniel Sturridge? Probably the best in the league at the moment. You
:31:16. > :31:20.have got Rooney and Van Persie at United, but coming forward, these
:31:21. > :31:26.two are the best at the minute. They work of each other. They create so
:31:27. > :31:30.many opportunities for each other. This was the pick of the goals. I
:31:31. > :31:34.like this floating position from Sturridge, offside while the players
:31:35. > :31:41.being built up, then you have got choices. Sturridge is the first
:31:42. > :31:47.striker, so as the second striker, you play-off wherever he goes. He's
:31:48. > :31:50.telling Henderson where he's going, with his arm. Jordan Henderson plays
:31:51. > :31:54.a lovely ball, and he makes diagonal runs. You have got momentum running
:31:55. > :32:01.towards goal and you are staying onside. That is a classic training
:32:02. > :32:05.ground move. Two strikers, one dropping short, one going into
:32:06. > :32:12.space. They are clever players and they drop of each other. They are so
:32:13. > :32:14.intelligent, they just know. As a centre forward you want to know when
:32:15. > :32:21.you're making that one that the board is coming in, and who better
:32:22. > :32:25.to play it and Steven Gerrard? It is looking grim for Fulham and four
:32:26. > :32:32.Martin Jol. They have not given themselves any chance. 3-0 down
:32:33. > :32:36.after 20 and 30 minutes. The players are making too many basic errors.
:32:37. > :32:42.They have got three games at home O. The next four and if things do not
:32:43. > :32:46.turn round then they could be looking at the change. They have got
:32:47. > :32:53.to do better and give themselves a chance. Manchester United against
:32:54. > :33:00.Arsenal is one of question might games on this weekend's Match of the
:33:01. > :33:08.Day two. -- one of this weekend's games.
:33:09. > :33:22.It is in. Robin Van Persie. Aaron Ramsey, brilliant stuff.
:33:23. > :33:27.There's plenty of build-up to all four games on Match of the Day two
:33:28. > :33:38.extra. That's on BBC Two this weekend at the slightly earlier time
:33:39. > :33:41.of high noon. It has been all smiles at Southampton this season. Seven
:33:42. > :33:42.games unbeaten and three Saints players made Roy Hodgson's England
:33:43. > :33:48.squad. Victory over a very stubborn Hull
:33:49. > :33:50.City would give Southampton four successive Premier League victories
:33:51. > :33:53.for the first time this millennium. At St Mary's for us was Simon
:33:54. > :33:57.Brotherton. Southampton unchanged, another chance to see their England
:33:58. > :34:02.trio of Rickie Lambert, Jay Rodriguez and Adam Lallana, the club
:34:03. > :34:05.captain, whilst Hull City are unchanged after beating Sunderland
:34:06. > :34:10.last weekend. Steve Harper continues in goal, and Yannick Sagbo leads the
:34:11. > :34:19.attack again despite the availability of Danny Graham. Roy
:34:20. > :34:25.Hodgson is here. It could become like a second home for him.
:34:26. > :34:31.Hull City so far have been beaten by Manchester City, Chelsea, Everton
:34:32. > :34:37.and Tottenham but have got something from all of the other matches they
:34:38. > :34:41.have played in. Lovely skill from Adam Lallana. Towards Rickie
:34:42. > :34:48.Lambert. Desperate defending from Curtis Davies. Southampton quick out
:34:49. > :35:01.of the blocks at the end of what has been a good week for them.
:35:02. > :35:13.Adam Lallana has done well. The header away from Maynor Figueroa.
:35:14. > :35:20.James Ward-Prowse get his foot in. And his delivery is beaten away for
:35:21. > :35:23.a throw-in to Southampton. James Ward-Prowse will link up with
:35:24. > :35:33.England under 21 squad after came along with Luke Shaw. -- after this
:35:34. > :35:42.game. Morgan Schneiderlin! It has taken Southampton 15 minutes to
:35:43. > :35:49.score. And Morgan Schneiderlin has his first goal of the season. Good
:35:50. > :35:54.play on the right hand side. The ball seemed to hang in the air.
:35:55. > :36:02.Rickie Lambert stayed strong, and Morgan Schneiderlin with an
:36:03. > :36:05.unopposed header. Three Hull City defenders very close to Morgan
:36:06. > :36:17.Schneiderlin but none of them able to get close enough. Southampton
:36:18. > :36:25.playing with confidence and no small amount of flair. And other excellent
:36:26. > :36:34.delivery from Nathaniel Clyne. In the end, it did not quite fall for
:36:35. > :36:43.Rickie Lambert and J Rodriguez. -- Jay. Adam Lallana is challenged by
:36:44. > :36:49.Steve Harper and it is going to be a penalty. Adam Lallana was upended
:36:50. > :36:56.and it is a yellow card. We can have a look at that again. Adam Lallana,
:36:57. > :37:01.clearly caught by Steve Harper. Steve Harper still on the field. You
:37:02. > :37:04.could not say that that was a clear goal-scoring opportunity because he
:37:05. > :37:11.was chasing the ball tight angle to the goal. Rickie Lambert had a
:37:12. > :37:21.chance to make it 2-0, and there was no doubt about that one. Southampton
:37:22. > :37:26.dominating play and 2-0 up inside 30 minutes.
:37:27. > :37:32.The penalty kick thumped home by Rickie Lambert. He celebrates his
:37:33. > :37:55.fourth goal of the season. Nice interplay. Adam Lallana causing
:37:56. > :37:59.real problems. The ball sticking to his feet, that is absolutely
:38:00. > :38:05.brilliant. What a fantastic goal from the Southampton captain, Adam
:38:06. > :38:13.Lallana. Southampton are running away with the match. And Adam
:38:14. > :38:20.Lallana just ran away with the ball, passed half of the Hull City team.
:38:21. > :38:28.Look at this for an individual goal. Lovely, close control. Great balance
:38:29. > :38:35.and skill, and a tight angle, and he squeezes it past Steve Harper. 3-0,
:38:36. > :38:44.and you cannot see anyway back for Hull City in this match. Southampton
:38:45. > :38:46.have been absolutely superb. Two of the three players in the full
:38:47. > :38:52.England squad for Southampton have scored in the first half, Rickie
:38:53. > :39:01.Lambert and Adam Lallana, in front of the watching England manager, Roy
:39:02. > :39:10.Hodgson. Victor Wanyama, turning into double. And Janet Sacco. Hull
:39:11. > :39:15.City have a goal. -- turning into trouble, and Yannick Sagbo. It all
:39:16. > :39:21.stemmed from the ball being given away. This was the clearance, to
:39:22. > :39:26.Victor Wanyama. He let the ball run. And it ran into the path of Jake
:39:27. > :39:32.Livermore, who found Yannick Sagbo, who found the bottom of the net.
:39:33. > :39:37.That is a poor goal to give away from a Southampton point of view.
:39:38. > :39:39.Good finish by Yannick Sagbo. It is a glimmer of hope for Hull City, but
:39:40. > :39:56.it is still a long way back. Adam Lallana -- Adam Lallana again.
:39:57. > :40:06.And it is a superb save. Good stop by Steve Harper. Adam Lallana, close
:40:07. > :40:10.to his second goal of the match. The goal bound shot, pushed wide by
:40:11. > :40:15.Steve Harper. There is the manager of the month, Mauricio Pochettino of
:40:16. > :40:22.Southampton, what the job he has done. He had a sceptical reception
:40:23. > :40:31.many arrived in January. -- when he arrived.
:40:32. > :40:44.The deep cross met by the head of the Argentinian. Comfortably saved
:40:45. > :40:51.by Steve Harper. Nathaniel Clyne. Inside the last couple of minutes.
:40:52. > :40:57.Nathaniel Clyne with the delivery. And that is dispatched by Stephen
:40:58. > :41:10.Davis. That is the cherry on the top of this performance. Two minutes to
:41:11. > :41:15.go, 4-1 up. Lovely piece of skill, the curling cross, and a fine
:41:16. > :41:18.finish. Southampton Brit sliced their way past Hull City. --
:41:19. > :41:40.ruthlessly sliced their way past. Do you think that England call ups
:41:41. > :41:47.have inspired your squad even more? TRANSLATION: it was positive and it
:41:48. > :41:50.inspired them. It was never going to be easy. Hull City have never lost a
:41:51. > :41:56.game this season by more than one goal. They need to be 100% focused
:41:57. > :42:01.and keep thinking about the game and just do well. They are very good
:42:02. > :42:05.side. In the first half in particular, they made it very
:42:06. > :42:09.difficult for us. But credit to our lads, we stuck at it after
:42:10. > :42:14.half-time, but you have to say, well done to the opposition, sometimes.
:42:15. > :42:20.That is as big a doing as we have had for a long time. What was your
:42:21. > :42:31.view of the gold from Adam Lallana? It was amazing. He does that all the
:42:32. > :42:37.time in training. It is just normal. His ball skills are the best.
:42:38. > :42:42.Technically, he is superb. Southampton were superb. All eyes on
:42:43. > :42:51.the England squad members and they did not disappoint. Adam Lallana,
:42:52. > :42:55.what the goal. -- what a goal. Some people are not sure of his position.
:42:56. > :42:59.He is all over the park. Predominantly on the right-hand
:43:00. > :43:04.side. But he is given that freedom. When you look at the next one, to
:43:05. > :43:13.roam around and do whatever he wants. He runs at players and causes
:43:14. > :43:18.problems. All day. Look at this for a piece of skill. Not only is it
:43:19. > :43:22.great skill, but what a brilliant ball that is for a centre forward to
:43:23. > :43:27.get on the end of. This is intelligent football from Rickie
:43:28. > :43:31.Lambert and Adam Lallana. Rickie Lambert goes short, and Adam Lallana
:43:32. > :43:38.knows he's going to make the run behind the defender. Lovely little
:43:39. > :43:42.ball from Rickie Lambert. I don't know what Steve Harper is doing out
:43:43. > :43:46.there, but that is intelligent play. If one of the foreigners scored a
:43:47. > :43:50.goal in the league like this we will be talking about it for weeks on
:43:51. > :43:55.end, so let's make sure that we do with this. That is top class. To run
:43:56. > :43:58.at the defenders like that and take all of them out, great first and
:43:59. > :44:06.second Dutch, running with the ball, and what a finish. -- second touch.
:44:07. > :44:12.Two touches on his chest here. He is so comfortable and quick, running at
:44:13. > :44:17.the fenders. More great linkup play. He was brilliant. If you're going to
:44:18. > :44:23.play well, you might as well play well in front of a smiling England
:44:24. > :44:27.manager. He's ready to step up. He should have a chance. That is why
:44:28. > :44:35.Roy Hodgson was there today. He deserves it. And an England player
:44:36. > :44:38.scoring a penalty. That is valuable when you have got a World Cup coming
:44:39. > :44:48.up. This is really clever, he makes the
:44:49. > :44:53.goalkeeper think, Steve Harper think. He goes the right way today.
:44:54. > :44:59.There is no way she stopping that. That is a fantastic penalty. Imagine
:45:00. > :45:05.when you are a Southampton fan when you get a penalty, you must be in
:45:06. > :45:11.heaven. Lambert 33, out of 33. I can't think of any other decent
:45:12. > :45:20.Southampton penalty takers, can you? I missed a few.
:45:21. > :45:25.The day's late kick off was at Carrow Road, where Norwich have not
:45:26. > :45:29.lost to West Ham for 40 years, but Big Sam's side have only conceeded
:45:30. > :45:32.one on their travels this season. John Roder saw this one. Goals have
:45:33. > :45:36.been few and far between for these sides in the Premier League. At the
:45:37. > :45:41.other end a huge difference, Norwich conceding plenty, West Ham very
:45:42. > :45:48.tight at the back. Having conceded seven last weekend, John Ruddy will
:45:49. > :45:54.hope for a quieter 90 minutes today. Bassong and Whittaker have been
:45:55. > :45:56.dropped to the bench. Between them, these teams have scored 14 times in
:45:57. > :46:12.the league so far. Nolan. Saved by the legs of John
:46:13. > :46:17.Ruddy. Norwich still haven't got it clear.
:46:18. > :46:27.Puts it in. Downing. Brave defending. West Ham still putting
:46:28. > :46:33.pressure on, it's towards Nolan, away by Turner. Corner kick. Good
:46:34. > :46:42.move here. Nolan with the shot. Ruddy with the block. Again the bar.
:46:43. > :46:48.Demel with the header. Norwich scramble it clear, Cole with the
:46:49. > :46:53.shot. West Ham right back hasn't actually scored for the club, he was
:46:54. > :47:00.mightily close there to giving the Hammers the lead. West Ham have had
:47:01. > :47:04.some good attempts already so far in this match, which will please Sam
:47:05. > :47:18.Allardyce. Rat makes the run in behind the
:47:19. > :47:26.Norwich defence, and almost in. Played across, and now it is in.
:47:27. > :47:42.Morrison. After all the pressure in the opening exchanges of this match,
:47:43. > :47:48.it's a goal that has been coming. Able to turn it back to Morrison, to
:47:49. > :47:52.claim his fifth goal of the season. Norwich City nil, West Ham, one. A
:47:53. > :48:19.Hamer blow for Chris Hughton. Has he got there to snuff out the
:48:20. > :48:40.danger for Snodgrass, but it's at the expense of a corner.
:48:41. > :48:49.Jaaskelainen gets on the end of it. Has he dropped it? He has indeed. Is
:48:50. > :48:54.that a penalty? YES! Norwich City with an opportunity early in the
:48:55. > :49:07.second-half to draw back on level terms. Jaaskelainen couldn't gather.
:49:08. > :49:15.He was ruled guilty of fouling Hooper. It's a huge moment in the
:49:16. > :49:21.season of Norwich City. Gary Hooper, up against Jussi Jaaskelainen, the
:49:22. > :49:26.goalkeeper who has kept six cleansheets in the Premier League
:49:27. > :49:33.this season. Hooper, fires it in! A huge, huge roar of relief around
:49:34. > :49:38.Carrow Road. Straight down the middle. Jaaskelainen goes one way.
:49:39. > :49:42.If he stood still it would simply have smashed him in the chest. Gary
:49:43. > :49:47.Hooper gets his first Premier League goal for Norwich, his third of the
:49:48. > :49:50.season. They are back on level terms. Norwich City, one, West Ham,
:49:51. > :50:10.one. Against the bar, and away. That is a
:50:11. > :50:18.free-kick. Snodgrass tries to get to the rebound. Howson really struck
:50:19. > :50:23.that, so, so close. Robert Snodgrass scored three goals from free kicks
:50:24. > :50:29.in the Premier League last season. They were among the seven he got in
:50:30. > :50:35.his last campaign. Snodgrass - oh, magnificent! What a turn around at
:50:36. > :50:40.Carrow Road. Norwich City, outplayed in the first half, have turned this
:50:41. > :50:42.match around, they now lead by two goals to one after a wonderful
:50:43. > :50:57.free-kick from Robert Snodgrass. Just over the wall. Jaaskelainen was
:50:58. > :51:09.never going to get across anywhere near it. Just what Norwich needed.
:51:10. > :51:13.Norwich, two, West Ham, one. Is Much better second-half for the Norwich
:51:14. > :51:19.hierarchy and for the Norwich faithful. Into the third minute of
:51:20. > :51:26.additional time at the end of the match. Fer. Still going, Leroy Fer.
:51:27. > :51:36.Three points for Norwich. A huge, huge victory for the Canaries. What
:51:37. > :51:43.a magnificent turn around in the second-half. Norwich trailing 1-0 at
:51:44. > :51:52.half-time. They've come back in some style. Look at the run here. Just
:51:53. > :51:57.able to place that ball beyond Jussi Jaaskelainen.
:51:58. > :52:03.Norwich have found goals hard to come by this season, but they have
:52:04. > :52:10.got three-in-one hugely important second-half. Really days pointed to
:52:11. > :52:13.go in at 1-0 down. I didn't think we deserved even though it wasn't our
:52:14. > :52:16.better performance in that first half am we got a reaction in the
:52:17. > :52:22.second-half. It enabled us to get back in the game. We had a few
:52:23. > :52:26.meetings before the Man City game to say we were doing everything right,
:52:27. > :52:30.but weren't putting the ball in the back of the net. Everything paid off
:52:31. > :52:34.on the end of the night the way we kept going. Delighted we got three
:52:35. > :52:38.points. It's difficult to take when we have done as much as we have. We
:52:39. > :52:43.all know how important it was to get a result here today. Tor me that
:52:44. > :52:49.result, on the result of balance of play, how we started, should have a
:52:50. > :52:56.win. We have thrown it away and gifted it to Norwich. We have been
:52:57. > :53:00.good here against Chelsea, we felt we could get back up to that level.
:53:01. > :53:03.It's getting the results with it. We had a good second-half performance
:53:04. > :53:08.and a very good result that went with it. It was all about that
:53:09. > :53:12.really, wasn't it, that second-half performance? Gritty and real
:53:13. > :53:17.character? They deserve a lot of credit this week Norwich because
:53:18. > :53:20.they took a hammeri in g last week and the players would have been
:53:21. > :53:24.embarrassed by the scoreline. I feared the worse at half-time. They
:53:25. > :53:27.were booed off. Character they showed in abundance in the
:53:28. > :53:31.second-half. They played well and got the goals they deserved. Anyone
:53:32. > :53:35.who doesn't understand confidence is a huge thing in football, watch this
:53:36. > :53:39.game. First half, players playing with no confidence. Second-half,
:53:40. > :53:44.totally different players. Didn't seem to be complaints about the
:53:45. > :53:49.penalty decision that quite possibly turned the game? I thought it was a
:53:50. > :53:53.penalty. A bit of a soft one. A big mistake from Jaaskelainen. A rare
:53:54. > :53:57.mistake. He should catch that. He knows that. He goes down and tries
:53:58. > :54:02.to retrieve the ball. He doesn't touch it at all Jaaskelainen. Hooper
:54:03. > :54:06.gets his foot there in front of him. Jaaskelainen prevents him. A soft
:54:07. > :54:11.one. I think it's a penalty. I think it's a soft one. Hooper can probably
:54:12. > :54:15.stay on his feet he gets the toe in and... Pressure on that penalty.
:54:16. > :54:21.Once that went in you saw different players. This is a free-kick, as
:54:22. > :54:27.well. Howson hits the bar. Brilliant shot. Collins run noose Snodgrass.
:54:28. > :54:33.Snodgrass is clever. He sees him coming. He stands his crowd, a
:54:34. > :54:38.free-kick. Wonderful free-kick. Pleased for Chris Hughton he would
:54:39. > :54:41.have been disappointed with what happened last weekend. When that
:54:42. > :54:47.happens as a manager you have to see a response from your players. He got
:54:48. > :54:52.one today. , it doesn't need three has been strikers in the studio to
:54:53. > :54:55.see what West Ham's problems are? With West Ham, Sam Allardyce has
:54:56. > :54:59.gone without a striker. He had a lot of success he went to White Hart
:55:00. > :55:04.Lane and put in the in the performance of the season. I mean, I
:55:05. > :55:09.can't think it will work all season. You need a vocal point, you need one
:55:10. > :55:13.strike tore play. With Carroll being out, they brought Cole whack back.
:55:14. > :55:18.It is a struggle at the moment. They need a striker. Two more games still
:55:19. > :55:21.to come, but first a reminder that there's seven football programmes to
:55:22. > :55:27.enjoy every Premier League weekend on the BBC. Magnificent.
:55:28. > :55:44.Good morning Kickabout Crew. That is not all we have over the next 45
:55:45. > :55:49.minutes. It's a fiesty affair at Goodison, Damien Johnson. Joining us
:55:50. > :55:57.tonight the first ever England manager to appear live on Match of
:55:58. > :56:05.the Day. No prizes for guessing our feature game tonight. Evening. Two
:56:06. > :56:15.big Premier League games and a cracking Goal of the Month to come.
:56:16. > :56:21.Manish is loosening up as we speak, all of today's Football League goals
:56:22. > :56:25.are coming up after us and on the iplayer all week. Aston Villa's fans
:56:26. > :56:29.have gone six and a quarter hours without seeing their side score a
:56:30. > :56:32.goal in the Barclays Premier League. Cardiff's supporters only saw one
:56:33. > :56:38.last week, but it will live long in the memory of many a Bluebird. This
:56:39. > :56:43.is more than just a game, that's for sure. A grudge match, Derby Day in
:56:44. > :56:49.south Wales. Here comes the corner from Bellamy. Cardiff City have won
:56:50. > :56:57.the south Wales Derby. Red is the colour. They are celebrating, the
:56:58. > :57:03.Blue birds. Mrit mitt # commentator was Steve Wilson. They were briefly
:57:04. > :57:13.team-mates at Celtic and make up 50% of the Premier League Scottish
:57:14. > :57:18.manager's society. Kozak comes into the side. Whittingham returns to
:57:19. > :57:23.Villa Park where he began his career, ?350,000 he cost Cardiff,
:57:24. > :57:32.more than 300 games ago, was money well spent.
:57:33. > :57:47.COMMENTATOR: Benteke, not quite. Great recovery from Caulker. He
:57:48. > :57:50.prevented an Aston Villa goal here. They have started this game with
:57:51. > :58:12.some real purpose. Cardiff have a free-kick. Medel to
:58:13. > :58:17.take this. It is a whisker wide. That was mightily close to an
:58:18. > :58:21.own-goal from Kozak as it came off his head. He would have been
:58:22. > :58:28.forgiven for thinking that was going in.
:58:29. > :58:37.Benteke, gets the shot away. It's in! No, it's not. Sidenetting.
:58:38. > :58:41.Fooled me, fooled everyone. How close was this? I'm hoping it was
:58:42. > :58:52.very close. I'm pleased to say it was, I thought it was in. Three on
:58:53. > :59:08.to three here. Tonev, he has Kozak and Benteke giving him the evil eye.
:59:09. > :59:23.His plot launchedlet launched the attack and his shot ended it.
:59:24. > :59:31.Whittingham to deliver. A brilliant position. A fantastic ball in by
:59:32. > :59:35.Whittingham. About four yellow shirts in there. If anyone had got a
:59:36. > :59:44.touch on it, it would have been big trouble for Aston Villa.
:59:45. > :59:52.Kozak got his head on it but just away by Marshall. A really good ball
:59:53. > :59:54.in, Kozak did well to get his head on it. Marshall got there in the
:59:55. > :00:11.nick of time. Tonev coming back. Fair play... He
:00:12. > :00:14.won it but was bundled over by Tonev. A Cardiff City free kick for
:00:15. > :00:27.a Tonev foul. A free kick for Cardiff City.
:00:28. > :00:31.Curling it towards the back post. And wide. Cork are wondering whether
:00:32. > :00:40.he was fouled at the back post but he won't get a decision.
:00:41. > :00:52.Campbell. He drew the foul. Free kick to the visitors.
:00:53. > :01:02.Curling into Guzan, too much into Guzan. Smashed away by the Villa
:01:03. > :01:10.keeper fourth Tonev to chase. He has reached it. Westwood is in the
:01:11. > :01:13.middle, Benteke arriving. Villa had plenty of players forward. The
:01:14. > :01:19.header in the end went over the bar. It would have been a great breakaway
:01:20. > :01:27.goal. Westwood first to arrive in the middle. Benteke and Kozak
:01:28. > :01:33.arrived. The most talked about assistant manager in the game, I
:01:34. > :01:36.would have thought. This is promising.
:01:37. > :01:39.Bakun, Medel chasing him. That has got to be a free kick. And a yellow
:01:40. > :01:56.card. That was pretty cynical. Seven and a half hours since Villa
:01:57. > :02:05.scored. It is in! No wonder they celebrate because Aston Villa has
:02:06. > :02:10.scored a goal. It is a beauty. David Marshall completely flat-footed in
:02:11. > :02:17.the Cardiff goal. No deflection. He falls the keeper. Aston Villa lead.
:02:18. > :02:32.-- fooled. Hands raised in the middle for the
:02:33. > :02:40.cross. Back into Kozak, and into the net! It is a tall order now for
:02:41. > :02:46.Cardiff City. A little bit scrappy in the end but Aston Villa will take
:02:47. > :02:54.that. A good ball in. Headed back across goal. And Kozak found the
:02:55. > :02:56.corner. Aston Villa, seven hours and 30 minutes without scoring, now they
:02:57. > :03:08.have got two goals in eight minutes. Jordan Barry, side netting. Benteke,
:03:09. > :03:14.furious he didn't get it back from Jordan Barry.
:03:15. > :03:23.We started the game very well. You have to battle through, the lads
:03:24. > :03:30.galvanised everything. It is one thing playing at home. The lads
:03:31. > :03:36.today were excellent. In the second, they were
:03:37. > :03:41.comfortable. It was 15 minutes to go when we gave away that goal. We got
:03:42. > :03:46.punished for that but I'm not too disappointed with my team. If we
:03:47. > :03:54.keep playing like that we will be OK. We were playing good football
:03:55. > :03:57.but we did not finish the chances. The free kick, it looked as if you
:03:58. > :04:04.got the keeper moving the wrong way. He never got anywhere near the ball.
:04:05. > :04:11.He thought I was going to short -- shoot in the other corner.
:04:12. > :04:17.Yes, a great free kick. A special goal, breaking that seven
:04:18. > :04:25.and a half hour duck for Aston Villa.
:04:26. > :04:31.That was a fabulous free kick, the way he gets it up and down and over
:04:32. > :04:38.the wall. He has suddenly got a special talent taking free kicks. It
:04:39. > :04:42.is no flash in the pan, he did it against Manchester city early in the
:04:43. > :04:48.season. As a manager, with a player like that, in real danger in a set
:04:49. > :04:55.piece. It is a bonus. Cardiff, Manchester United and
:04:56. > :05:05.Arsenal for the next two games. It is not helpful, is it.
:05:06. > :05:09.Our final game this week saw bottom of the table Crystal Palace, looking
:05:10. > :05:12.to end a run of seven straight losses, face an Everton side who've
:05:13. > :05:16.only been beaten once all season. John Motson was at Selhurst Park.
:05:17. > :05:20.Caretaker Keith Millen takes charge of Crystal Palace for a third time.
:05:21. > :05:24.Ian Moody has been appointed as their new technical director today.
:05:25. > :05:30.They hope to appoint a new manager next week maybe on Tuesday or
:05:31. > :05:35.Wednesday. Bolasie is the only change in the starting line-up
:05:36. > :05:45.although there may be a more advanced role for the number eight.
:05:46. > :05:51.Jagielka, Baines and Barkley are all in England's -- England's squad next
:05:52. > :05:56.week. Palace, despite their poor form,
:05:57. > :06:03.they have tremendous vocal support at Selhurst Park which is packed
:06:04. > :06:08.today. It is very noisy. A little dummy by P now. Mirallas has
:06:09. > :06:15.switched sides. Baines was through. Osman. The threat came from Leighton
:06:16. > :06:21.Baines on the left-hand side, Palace have come to terms with that yet.
:06:22. > :06:29.Deep in their penalty area, Osman steering that wide. Steve Parrish,
:06:30. > :06:32.the Parrish chairman -- Palace chairman. And Ian Moody his
:06:33. > :06:45.technical director. Mirallas, and Julian Speroni had to
:06:46. > :06:49.get down to his right in what is now driving rain. Mirallas, cutting
:06:50. > :06:55.inside, firing. Everton with more of the play. Keith Millen herding his
:06:56. > :07:10.team can get a grip somewhere on this game. -- hoping his team.
:07:11. > :07:20.That looked a really good chance for Palace. It just came off his head
:07:21. > :07:56.sideways rather than forward. Coming out to Bolasie, a good ball
:07:57. > :08:01.to Bannan. They just can't believe it, can they? Barry Bannan with the
:08:02. > :08:03.cross, and it was Chamakh who couldn't guide his header inside the
:08:04. > :08:18.post. Thomas in a central position, the
:08:19. > :08:23.flag stayed down, Jerome Thomas for Crystal Palace, he has missed it! My
:08:24. > :08:29.goodness, what an opportunity. Everton were looking for offside.
:08:30. > :08:33.Probably just level, that is what the assistant referee decided. He
:08:34. > :08:39.attempted to chip Tim Howard and it went the wrong side of the post. I
:08:40. > :08:41.think Keith Millen will look back on that and maybe feel it was the best
:08:42. > :08:51.chance of the match. Coleman on the run from right back.
:08:52. > :08:58.Good play by Moxey but not a good pass.
:08:59. > :09:05.Deulofeu for Everton. It came off Gabbidon. A corner.
:09:06. > :09:14.This is where Palace have got to be so careful. Again, Jagielka and
:09:15. > :09:22.Distin. Again, Lukaku, he has hit the bar.
:09:23. > :09:26.Jagielka. He came in behind Lukaku who took the defenders away. The
:09:27. > :09:33.Everton captain strike -- striking the crossbar, it could so easily
:09:34. > :09:38.have won the game. He got a good power on it, and Distin couldn't
:09:39. > :09:43.turn it in either. Everton continued to press. Delaney
:09:44. > :09:59.nearly gave it away. A moment of real danger. The last
:10:00. > :10:03.five minutes have belonged to Everton.
:10:04. > :10:12.A relief for Crystal Palace. One or two moments you can only describe as
:10:13. > :10:17.sheer panic in the Palace defence before the Deulofeu's shot went
:10:18. > :10:25.wide. They are not going to go down without a fight. Whoever takes over
:10:26. > :10:33.here is not going to have any worries about the spirit in the
:10:34. > :10:39.dressing room or in the crowd. Very proud of the players. As the
:10:40. > :10:44.game went, Everton had a lot of possession but we created the
:10:45. > :10:48.clearest chances. We should have had all three points. We will take one
:10:49. > :10:56.point. We had a couple of half chances. We
:10:57. > :11:01.should have made a little bit better of it. A bit frustrated every time
:11:02. > :11:06.the ball went out of play, it took ages to come back in.
:11:07. > :11:12.They are trying to get out of their predicament. They are home, their
:11:13. > :11:16.fans getting behind the team. They created a couple of chances, fair
:11:17. > :11:24.play to them. They stuck to their game plan. They will be happier with
:11:25. > :11:28.the one point than we are. Have you had a word with the chairman, will
:11:29. > :11:33.you be in charge for the next game? I do not know. I will just enjoy
:11:34. > :11:37.tonight. We have all worked very hard. I want the players to enjoy
:11:38. > :11:43.it, we can come away with a smile on our face.
:11:44. > :11:48.Appointment expected to be made next week. They have had a run of seven
:11:49. > :11:53.straight defeats. Everton had most of the possession. Palace had some
:11:54. > :11:58.chances. They did. They don't create too
:11:59. > :12:03.many, Crystal Palace. Today they had three really good chances. The first
:12:04. > :12:09.two, that one, he was trying to head it before it was even there. Getting
:12:10. > :12:16.there too early. A sign of desperation, they need composter.
:12:17. > :12:21.Jerome Thomas had it. Putting it over. Three big chances, you would
:12:22. > :12:25.expect them to score one. In that position, you should score.
:12:26. > :12:30.You should score. I have been in that position before. I would never
:12:31. > :12:37.say you should do anything different. The goalkeeper was off
:12:38. > :12:43.his line. He chose the right thing. Get your foot behind it and smash
:12:44. > :12:48.it. Always one for a bit of power. I thought that would be a sign of
:12:49. > :12:57.power rather than finesse and control. At least you look control.
:12:58. > :13:05.I remember asking you. And you said, I always tried to be a little more
:13:06. > :13:15.creative, then all the confidence come back -- comes back.
:13:16. > :13:17.It is a good time to finish, we will move on.
:13:18. > :13:28.Before we go, a chance to look at the Barclays Premier League table.
:13:29. > :13:32.Liverpool closed to within two points of Arsenal. Southampton's
:13:33. > :13:40.best ever start to a top-flight season. Crystal Palace drew and are
:13:41. > :13:44.now level on points with Sunderland. Norwich were the big
:13:45. > :13:48.winners at the foot of the table. Lifting them out of the bottom
:13:49. > :13:54.three. Let us see what the papers have to
:13:55. > :13:58.say, the controversy at Stamford Bridge over that late penalty
:13:59. > :14:02.awarded to Chelsea. A report that Martin Jol is on the
:14:03. > :14:13.verge of losing his job after yet another defeat.
:14:14. > :14:16.And an interview here with Ozil. So Mourinho's record of never losing
:14:17. > :14:19.a league game at Stamford Bridge somehow stands. And his celebratory
:14:20. > :14:25.dinner is put on hold. Indigestible all round. Goodbye.
