:00:54. > :01:05.Would this be the biggest week in your managerial career? It feels
:01:06. > :01:10.like it. We will qualify, won't we? Yes. I am confident.
:01:11. > :01:12.Hello there, yes, you heard it here first.
:01:13. > :01:16.Hodgson's choice has won the day. 10 of the 11 who started against
:01:17. > :01:18.Poland were back in action in the Premier League, with a place on the
:01:19. > :01:49.plane to Brazil up for grabs. Still playing for their places in
:01:50. > :01:53.our World Cup squad are Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer, but until then
:01:54. > :01:57.it's all about the Barclay's Premier League and we've got a cracking
:01:58. > :02:01.Match of the Day for you this week. The first of our eight games is
:02:02. > :02:04.Chelsea versus Cardiff. I think it's fair to say Malky
:02:05. > :02:07.Mackay hasn't had the easiest of international breaks with behind the
:02:08. > :02:10.scenes unrest and a fall-out with the owner.
:02:11. > :02:10.That sort of thing never happens to the happy one.
:02:11. > :02:26.The commentator was John Motson. Jose Mourinho mourn picked his team
:02:27. > :02:31.with Tuesday's game in mind. -- Jose Mourinho.
:02:32. > :02:40.It has been a turbulent week for Cardiff. Malky McKay lost his head
:02:41. > :02:50.of recruitment. Seems strange to see Cardiff City
:02:51. > :02:56.wearing the first choice strip of red shirts because their owner
:02:57. > :03:01.Vincent Tan changed from blue to red when they took over. However, they
:03:02. > :03:08.couldn't have worn blue today at Stamford Bridge.
:03:09. > :03:20.That was nicely set up format ya, he could have connected with his left
:03:21. > :03:25.foot. This is Ivanovic. He acknowledges the pass from Eto'o. It
:03:26. > :03:29.looked as though he put it almost on the plate for him. Mata swung at
:03:30. > :03:36.that and didn't really connect properly. Ivanovic it was who had
:03:37. > :03:42.the final shot. Mutch goes on here. He has beaten Petr Cech. Cardiff
:03:43. > :03:49.City have taken a shock lead through Jordon Mutch inside 10 minutes. It
:03:50. > :03:55.came from David Marshall, the header on, well, Ramires was it who didn't
:03:56. > :04:02.quite get enough on that? Luiz who didn't cover. When Cech came out,
:04:03. > :04:09.not happy way to mark his 300th league appearance for Chelsea, Petr
:04:10. > :04:14.Cech. A cool finish. It's Chelsea 0, Cardiff City 1. Arsene Wenger making
:04:15. > :04:18.the point yesterday that Premier League is not like it was. You can't
:04:19. > :04:26.discount any of your opponents these days. The ball out for a corner.
:04:27. > :04:33.Cardiff have come here showing no fear. Mata will take the corner. Oh,
:04:34. > :04:38.there was... Oh, John Terry came running across. He scored recently
:04:39. > :04:43.at Tottenham. This one, oh, he got the glance. There was a man on the
:04:44. > :04:47.post. This is not the sort of afternoon that Jose Mourinho would
:04:48. > :04:49.have been enjoying up to now. We all know he is not afraid to make
:04:50. > :04:59.changes. Fouled by John Terry on Peter
:05:00. > :05:05.Odemwingie. A tug of the shirt at the end there. Whittingham put the
:05:06. > :05:08.ball down here for Cardiff. They have two or three players waving
:05:09. > :05:16.from the far side of the penalty area, one is Much. There was a flick
:05:17. > :05:21.there. -- Mutch. AUDIENCE: Got closest to that. Cech,
:05:22. > :05:28.who is the third Chelsea player to reach 300 Premier League appearance,
:05:29. > :05:36.made an elastic save there. Gunnarsson, forward by Lampard. This
:05:37. > :05:41.is looking for Eto'o. Where did David Marshall catch it? Eto'o
:05:42. > :05:48.thinks he is outside his area. The official on the far side must have
:05:49. > :05:53.been in line, or was he? I'm not sure whether Marshal didn't perhaps
:05:54. > :06:13.over step the mark there. Here's Hazard again. Mata.
:06:14. > :06:20.David Marshall, oh, the keeper has lost it, Hazard is through. A real
:06:21. > :06:31.chance for Chelsea. It's Eto'o, surely, Hazard. 1-1. Chelsea draw
:06:32. > :06:38.level after 32 minutes. Marshall now feels probably the way Cech felt in
:06:39. > :06:43.the game. Questions whether Eto'o knocked the ball out of Marshall's
:06:44. > :06:50.hands. He made contact here. Had he already released the ball, I wonder.
:06:51. > :06:58.Play went on. Hazard finished it off for Chelsea anyway. We have seen a
:06:59. > :07:02.bit of this before, haven't we, George Best, Gary cos bye, is the
:07:03. > :07:07.goalkeeper in control of the ball when he releases it. Eto'o says not.
:07:08. > :07:12.Play goes on. This is a real bad moment for David Marshall, the big
:07:13. > :07:15.question in the laws of the game. In the opinion of the referee, is the
:07:16. > :07:17.goalkeeper still in control of the ball when he drops it in that
:07:18. > :07:30.fashion? Now then, Ramires for Chelsea. He's
:07:31. > :07:34.gone down. Torres stopped because he thought the referee was going to
:07:35. > :07:36.give the free-kick, that is what he means. Chelsea have forced a corner.
:07:37. > :07:50.It's going to be taken by Willian. That comes off Caulker. It will be a
:07:51. > :07:56.corner the other side. This is to be taken by Lampard. Now, we've got
:07:57. > :08:03.Eto'o and Torres on the pitch. That is Ivanovic who dummies it and gets
:08:04. > :08:08.a second chance. Ivanovic. Appeals for handball, not given. Chelsea
:08:09. > :08:16.still have the edge here. It was a good ball by Hazard. There's the
:08:17. > :08:23.shot. It's in. It's Samule Eto'o's first goal for Chelsea. Samule
:08:24. > :08:30.Eto'o, his fourth start in two substituted appearances. Eto'o make
:08:31. > :08:35.it is 2-1. How he found the space to get that shot in. Watch the way he
:08:36. > :08:40.goes round the defender and then hit it is with power into the near
:08:41. > :08:43.corner of the goal. That is a real classic, world-class international
:08:44. > :08:50.striker, certainly of many years standing.
:08:51. > :09:02.He goes off a few minutes later. After a spell of three at the back,
:09:03. > :09:12.Jose Mourinho has gone back to four. Oh, hello, he is not very happy.
:09:13. > :09:20.Fourth official stepping in in front of Jose Mourinho. He is being sent
:09:21. > :09:24.away by the referee now. I think the cause of that dispute between
:09:25. > :09:29.Mourinho and the referee was about the positioning of the throw-in. He
:09:30. > :09:35.hasn't been sent up into the stand, he's been sent several rows further
:09:36. > :09:42.back from the touchline, Mourinho. Still Cardiff pressing. Whittingham
:09:43. > :09:53.is coming in from this side... Good recovery by Ivanovic. This is Kim,
:09:54. > :09:56.he didn't miss by much. He has certainly brought new life to the
:09:57. > :10:03.Cardiff attack in this second-half. There is still quite a long going
:10:04. > :10:04.down by the Chelsea bench. I don't know whether Mourinho has had to
:10:05. > :10:17.move further back. This is Oscar. Oh, he's got it! Well, you are
:10:18. > :10:22.tempted to say it's a goal that would have won a prize. Scored by
:10:23. > :10:27.Oscar. It's probably the one that puts Chelsea beyond Cardiff City in
:10:28. > :10:33.this game. There are 12 minutes to go. The little Brazilian, who is
:10:34. > :10:40.Chelsea's top-scorer this season, picks one out here. It swerves and
:10:41. > :10:42.it's got power as well. David Marshall, unable to get hands to
:10:43. > :10:58.that. Chelsea 3, Cardiff City 1. They might get punished again. This
:10:59. > :11:04.is Hazard. Oscar to his left. Willian here, hits the goalkeeper.
:11:05. > :11:11.Should probably have done better. Willian could have added to the goal
:11:12. > :11:16.he scored at Norwich. He put that one too near to the goalkeeper. This
:11:17. > :11:24.is Hazard. Torres is going to the near-post. Willian is further over.
:11:25. > :11:27.Oh, he didn't need them. Super goal by Hazard.
:11:28. > :11:35.He started out, out on the left wing. Took on the first man and then
:11:36. > :11:41.just drove it underneath the goalkeeper. Two goals in four
:11:42. > :11:49.minutes. It's Hazard's second of the afternoon. Where is the manager, why
:11:50. > :11:56.is he so upset? I think it's simple it all boreded around one thing
:11:57. > :11:59.really that the time wasting from the first minute. They took a long
:12:00. > :12:05.time to take every dead ball, whether it was a corner, free-kick
:12:06. > :12:08.and we had mentioned it to the fourth official politely and
:12:09. > :12:12.mentioned it to the referee politely. It was a consistent theme
:12:13. > :12:15.throughout the half. It was a deliberate ploy to break up the
:12:16. > :12:21.game. We understand that. I think Ivanovic had the ball in his hands
:12:22. > :12:25.for two seconds and already the referee was putting pressure on him
:12:26. > :12:31.to get the ball into play. Which is why we were all, Jose Mourinho is
:12:32. > :12:35.the manager on the touchline, was furious. Chelsea equaliser, talk us
:12:36. > :12:39.through it, so many questions have been raised by it? At the time it
:12:40. > :12:43.happened so quickly I didn't see it. I have been in to see the referee
:12:44. > :12:48.for the clarification of what him and the linesman saw. Our goalkeeper
:12:49. > :12:53.bounced the ball. He saw the player standing there. The referee saying
:12:54. > :12:58.at the time he heard from his linesman that he dropped the ball. I
:12:59. > :13:03.asked for clarification of the rule. He said if the goalkeeper bounced
:13:04. > :13:08.the ball it was a foul. I looked at it again, he bounced the ball. He
:13:09. > :13:12.knew Eto'o was standing there. That is one that has been a huge mistake.
:13:13. > :13:18.We had better get straight to that. It was the defining moment of the
:13:19. > :13:21.game. He is right with the law. The score is 1-0 at the time. This is a
:13:22. > :13:26.minute before it. Lampard over the top. Marshall comes out, from that
:13:27. > :13:30.angle it looks as though they might just be inside his yard box. From
:13:31. > :13:35.that angle, he has taken a chance here. He might have been sent off
:13:36. > :13:38.before the incident happened. He is absolutely right. The law is simple.
:13:39. > :13:43.Even though, you can see the referee there. He might turn his head and
:13:44. > :13:47.look away which is why he think the goalkeeper might have dropped it.
:13:48. > :13:50.The law is simple, even though the goalkeeper is bouncing the ball, he
:13:51. > :13:55.is still deemed to have under control and possession of it. It's a
:13:56. > :13:59.indirect free-kick to Cardiff. Why on earth the linesman or the
:14:00. > :14:03.official hasn't seen that or spotted that is beyond me. It could even
:14:04. > :14:08.still give offside. Hazard touches it. Hits it there. It touches Eto'o
:14:09. > :14:16.there. He is in offside position also. Bad day for the officials.
:14:17. > :14:23.Chelsea ran out easy winners in the end but this is sensational. A great
:14:24. > :14:27.goal. They ran out easy winners but it was 1-0 at the time when the
:14:28. > :14:31.referee gave the bad decision. You are focusing on an individual, David
:14:32. > :14:34.Luiz. It is fair to say you are not really a fan?
:14:35. > :14:42.I think he is a wonderful football. Every time I see him I think
:14:43. > :14:47.casual, takes too many chances and there is always a mistake and there
:14:48. > :14:50.aren't today, he didn't let me down because casual at all times. The
:14:51. > :14:56.first one, he makes a rash challenge.
:14:57. > :15:01.Everyone can make a rash challenge, a bad decision, but you have to
:15:02. > :15:04.learn from your bad decisions and I don't think he does. This is
:15:05. > :15:09.unbelievably casual, the hook here, he has had it across the pitch. The
:15:10. > :15:15.next one coming up is even worse. What is all that about? Cardiff back
:15:16. > :15:20.in attack. The Mutch goal, you have never seen anything like it. What is
:15:21. > :15:27.he doing? If you look at the facials, Mutch comes past him, he
:15:28. > :15:30.doesn't attempt to block him. He would have to be on this programme
:15:31. > :15:34.to tell me exactly what he was thinking about there. Does he think
:15:35. > :15:41.that is going to run through? Does he misjudge it? He must feel that,
:15:42. > :15:45.surely. It doesn't look like it. Cech is 15 yards away from the
:15:46. > :15:51.Mormon Mutch hits it in the back of the net and I think he's a lovely
:15:52. > :15:58.ability. -- he is a liability. Mourinho getting sent off, there is
:15:59. > :16:03.a weight tweet from a Chelsea fan -- there is a great tweet. He is sat
:16:04. > :16:07.next to him, oh, my God, Mourinho is sitting next to me. A bit negative
:16:08. > :16:12.on Chelsea, winning the game comfortably. They are making
:16:13. > :16:15.strides. They are back in business. Look at the personnel they played
:16:16. > :16:19.today, the personal they left out. They will be there or thereabouts.
:16:20. > :16:23.If ever there was a game that guaranteed goals it was Newcastle
:16:24. > :16:26.against Liverpool, easy to say I suppose when you know the score.
:16:27. > :16:32.There hasn't been a goalless draw between these two sides since 1974.
:16:33. > :16:37.Keeping count at St James' Park was Guy Mowbray.
:16:38. > :16:43.Steven Gerrard needs one more goal to Richard Premier League century.
:16:44. > :16:47.Chances enhanced today by the presence of the Premier League's top
:16:48. > :16:53.two scorers this season, Loic Remy has five and that is a total only
:16:54. > :17:00.bettered by Daniel Sturridge's six and he has scored the last three
:17:01. > :17:13.times he has played here. It has all been very edgy, so far.
:17:14. > :17:21.Liverpool corner. The last time Liverpool were here in April it was
:17:22. > :17:27.the Magpies' heaviest home defeat since 1925.
:17:28. > :17:35.Gerrard with the Liverpool corner. Was it going in from Suarez? It was
:17:36. > :17:40.all on his own to head towards goal. It is a good job Santon was on the
:17:41. > :17:48.post. It was going wide. Santon could not be sure. Alan Pardew's
:17:49. > :17:49.first game in charge of Newcastle was a 3-1 win against Liverpool in
:17:50. > :18:05.December 2010. Cabaye has gone for goal, what a
:18:06. > :18:11.goal! What a goal! Well, it hardly looks on! But Cabaye was sure, as
:18:12. > :18:24.soon as he got the ball on his feet. Look how far out he is.
:18:25. > :18:34.He has got that's just right, a cracker from Cabaye. Newcastle
:18:35. > :18:38.United one, Liverpool nil. His second Newcastle goal of the season.
:18:39. > :18:41.He was on target for France during the international period as well,
:18:42. > :19:02.scored in the 6-0 thrashing of Australia.
:19:03. > :19:09.Last November at Anfield, Cabaye open the scoring and Newcastle's
:19:10. > :19:18.lead lasted less than four minutes before Luis Suarez equalised.
:19:19. > :19:30.A chance, but it has gone. Awkward for him, he had to generate accuracy
:19:31. > :19:38.and power. He got the power but lacked the accuracy by a distance.
:19:39. > :19:49.Suarez down, under pressure from Debuchy.
:19:50. > :19:55.Sissoko has a go, stings the hands of Mignolet. It might just have
:19:56. > :20:06.snuck inside the post, Mignolet had to get there.
:20:07. > :20:13.Suarez went for goal, Moses wanted it over on the far side. A good
:20:14. > :20:18.block by Krul. You could tell by the way he saved it there was plenty of
:20:19. > :20:23.pace in that effort from Suarez. A reminder to Newcastle, as if they
:20:24. > :20:29.needed it, that when Liverpool break they will be dangerous. Like now.
:20:30. > :20:37.That could be double trouble. Yanga-Mbiwa, Andrew Marriner is
:20:38. > :20:42.going straight to his pocket here. He is going to go here, he is going
:20:43. > :20:49.to go. Pulis saying offside, the red card is already out. They are down
:20:50. > :20:54.to ten. As soon as Yanga-Mbiwa what's his arm on the shoulder like
:20:55. > :20:57.that, it is a foul, it is a penalty and with Suarez in on goal it has to
:20:58. > :21:17.be a red card. This is his chance to score his
:21:18. > :21:21.100th Premier League goal, 100 Premier League goals for Liverpool.
:21:22. > :21:25.Eight of the 100 have come against Newcastle United. He has only scored
:21:26. > :21:30.more against Aston Villa. This is a real game changer. Not quite totally
:21:31. > :21:33.in the corner but accurate enough and powerful enough to beat Tim
:21:34. > :21:44.Krul, who went the right way, but in vain.
:21:45. > :21:51.Newcastle United are going to make a change in the wake of the red card
:21:52. > :21:54.shown to Yanga-Mbiwa. Paul Dummett coming on, a big task for him, only
:21:55. > :22:02.his second appearance in the Premier League.
:22:03. > :22:15.Johnson has gone for goal. Tim Krul got down sharply.
:22:16. > :22:24.That will be a Newcastle free kick. The cheers from the stands were
:22:25. > :22:33.laden with sarcasm. I wonder if Alan Pardew's smile was of a similar
:22:34. > :22:36.nature. Oh, it came for Dummett! Incredible! Paul Dummett, on as a
:22:37. > :22:42.substitute, to score his first Newcastle goal. The ten men in
:22:43. > :22:44.front. Newcastle have to make the most of set pieces in their
:22:45. > :23:00.predicament. I am not sure anybody else touched
:23:01. > :23:08.it. A lovely finish from the young defender. You castle United two,
:23:09. > :23:19.Liverpool one dashed -- Newcastle United two, Liverpool one.
:23:20. > :23:25.You can feel all Newcastle hearts beating now. A little bit of extra
:23:26. > :23:31.adrenaline, a little bit more belief. Still so much time left in
:23:32. > :23:32.the game. You know Liverpool will have at least one golden chance
:23:33. > :23:43.before the end. The golden chance came
:23:44. > :23:52.straightaway. SAS combines once more, Suarez and Sturridge. A lovely
:23:53. > :23:55.ball from Moses to Suarez. On a plate for Daniel Sturridge's ninth
:23:56. > :24:07.goal of the season, up seven in the Premier League.
:24:08. > :24:14.All is well in Sturridge's world, things are brighter for Liverpool.
:24:15. > :24:18.Just the one point will take them for it -- will take them for at
:24:19. > :24:21.least two hours to the top of the Premier League table. They want
:24:22. > :24:28.three. That is Suarez. Too much on it. That looked like potentially the
:24:29. > :24:32.winning goal of the game for all the world. It has come to the right man.
:24:33. > :24:43.He is ready for it and it has hit the bar. It was close, mightily so.
:24:44. > :24:55.We might yet have a dramatic ending to the story. Liverpool free kick it
:24:56. > :25:02.is not over yet. It is just outside, it is the right call. Such drama,
:25:03. > :25:08.meetings of these teams have given us in the Premier League era. Luis
:25:09. > :25:12.Suarez does drama very well indeed. Suarez, beaten away by Tim Krul.
:25:13. > :25:18.Newcastle United have hung on. This fixture just never disappoints us.
:25:19. > :25:24.What a game. Honours even, Newcastle United two, Liverpool two.
:25:25. > :25:29.At the opening of the game we were matching them, if not just shading
:25:30. > :25:33.it. We had got the goal and I was pleased with that because it was a
:25:34. > :25:37.good indicator for us, today's game. Then we get a guy sent off and we
:25:38. > :25:41.have no qualms about that. Perhaps he has to go. We had to show the
:25:42. > :25:46.other side and that is the question about this team, the resilience and
:25:47. > :25:49.the character in it and we showed last week at Cardiff and we have
:25:50. > :25:53.showed it even more so today with ten men. That was a very good game
:25:54. > :25:59.and one that we are disappointed to get the three points, not together
:26:00. > :26:04.three points, it has been difficult with the players coming back from an
:26:05. > :26:09.international. To show the character we have done, some of our play was
:26:10. > :26:12.outstanding today. Every boy in this area wants to play for Newcastle
:26:13. > :26:16.United and score goals. It is something no one can take away from
:26:17. > :26:21.me. I don't know what I do when I score, it was crazy. I have been
:26:22. > :26:25.thinking for a while about the 100 goals, so it is nice to score today.
:26:26. > :26:28.I would have liked it to come in general play but I will take a
:26:29. > :26:32.penalty. It is nice to get goals but I feel disappointed we have missed
:26:33. > :26:36.the opportunity to take three points. Missed out three points but
:26:37. > :26:41.what a record, what a player over so many years, 100 goals,
:26:42. > :26:45.congratulations. A brilliant game, entertaining game, end-to-end. I
:26:46. > :26:54.suppose it was another defining moment in many ways, the sending
:26:55. > :26:55.off. It was ironic because Newcastle defensively had done so well until
:26:56. > :27:07.that stage. Suarez, a bit of movement there, the
:27:08. > :27:10.defender comes in and has no chance. He is carrying an injury, if you
:27:11. > :27:19.watch him he is the one who plays Suarez onside. It is a lovely ball,
:27:20. > :27:23.a lovely run. What Suarez does very cleverly is get his first touch
:27:24. > :27:30.right and get his body across him, so he has to foul him. It is canny,
:27:31. > :27:36.isn't it? It is good centre forward play. Skrtel gets the attack in but
:27:37. > :27:39.he has to use his body. He has to get the ball away from Skrtel and
:27:40. > :27:43.get his body across him and if he does try to tackle him, as he does,
:27:44. > :27:47.he has to foul him and bring him down. Look at Suarez, the last
:27:48. > :27:50.minute of the game, talk about using your body. Clever centre forward
:27:51. > :27:55.play. Debuchy is getting a tackling and if he is going to hit the ball
:27:56. > :28:02.and take him out first, it was a foul. Good play. He was terrific in
:28:03. > :28:05.the match, Suarez. Wonderful. Newcastle got hammered six by
:28:06. > :28:08.Liverpool not that long ago. They were significantly better. I thought
:28:09. > :28:15.Newcastle defensively were magnificent. When they went to ten
:28:16. > :28:19.men. This was last year's 6-0, shambolic, left so much space
:28:20. > :28:22.behind. The worst thing you can happen is if you put virtually walk
:28:23. > :28:26.the ball into the back of the net. This time, they are pushing up,
:28:27. > :28:32.trying to hold the line, getting it totally wrong, loads of space,
:28:33. > :28:38.Gerrard over the top. Oh -- oceans of space. Today, they did not see
:28:39. > :28:42.that at all. What was the difference? They defended deeper,
:28:43. > :28:45.they were organised, they defended the sanctuaries. When they got it
:28:46. > :28:52.they picked it up and played it and to be fair they limited Liverpool to
:28:53. > :28:56.only one or two very good chances and this was it, the same sort of
:28:57. > :29:02.thing. Men behind the ball, no space in behind. Then -- than what was
:29:03. > :29:08.impressive as when they did get men behind the ball and they got it they
:29:09. > :29:11.broke with great conviction. This is Remy and Liverpool Street wing back,
:29:12. > :29:16.four or five to try to get back there. Newcastle have one or two
:29:17. > :29:22.good opportunities but tactically, very astute, Pardew today. 28%
:29:23. > :29:31.possession in the second half. With ten men, Paul Dummett? Into
:29:32. > :29:36.brilliant. Local lad coming through. His movement here is brilliant. He
:29:37. > :29:42.runs away from everyone. Comes at the far-post. No-one follows him. I
:29:43. > :29:49.hate doing this. Cardinal sin. Get your hand up and look across to the
:29:50. > :29:54.linesman. You hate that, don't you? The thing about that is, if he
:29:55. > :29:59.doesn't do that... Don't spoil his day. He had a fantastic day. He
:30:00. > :30:05.scored. Why do you have to pick that out for him for? That's him. Wait
:30:06. > :30:10.him. I was down to do the first bit as well, he stole it off me.
:30:11. > :30:15.That point in the day's early game took Liverpool ahead of Arsenal to
:30:16. > :30:19.the top of the table. To regain their place at the summit,
:30:20. > :30:22.the Gunners needed points against a Norwich side who have kept more
:30:23. > :30:24.cleansheets in the league this season than Arsenal, significantly
:30:25. > :30:27.less points though. Jonathan Pearce was at the Emirates.
:30:28. > :30:35.Arsenal fans have been waiting for this. Mesut Ozil is fit. He plays
:30:36. > :30:44.alongside Cazorla for the first time. He has returned from his ankle
:30:45. > :31:03.problem. Ramsey is rested on the bench. . Norwich's last away win at
:31:04. > :31:19.Arsenal came 21 years ago. Hooper makes his league debut.
:31:20. > :31:31.Such balance. Wilshere. Cazorla checks back. Saved well by John
:31:32. > :31:47.Ruddy. Very comfortable save. Unbeaten in six league games
:31:48. > :31:52.Arsenal. Norwich have only one-two of their last 11 away games. Three
:31:53. > :32:23.away wins in 22. Wilshere. Oh, that is simply
:32:24. > :32:37.magnificent. What a move. It really is such a simple game and such an
:32:38. > :32:38.ex-quiz it game when simple football is
:32:39. > :32:54.Wilshere is onside. Magnificent. Really, lovely approach football.
:32:55. > :32:56.Beautiful goal. Finished succinctly. Arsenal ahead, with one of the best
:32:57. > :33:21.team goals of the season so far. A clash there. Flamini, oh, a
:33:22. > :33:29.jarring coalition. -- collision. Flamini, he doesn't look right to
:33:30. > :33:36.me, since his head injury. Gibbs has won it back. It's Giroud. A very
:33:37. > :33:40.good piece of goal keeping. That's a top-notch save. That's an excellent
:33:41. > :33:48.save. Norwich suddenly seeing plenty of
:33:49. > :33:52.the ball. Howson, round the corner, gets the return.
:33:53. > :34:02.They got the shot away. That is very good goal keeping. Dipping just in
:34:03. > :34:09.front of him. 6 foot 5 inch Polish keeper had to stretch there.
:34:10. > :34:19.Norwich are playing their football far too deep. Arsenal now seem to be
:34:20. > :34:27.playing too deep. Hesitation from Gibbs Snodgrass got his shot away.
:34:28. > :34:33.Norwich on top at the moment. Arsenal making hard work of this.
:34:34. > :34:38.The strongest international players at the moment are those who played
:34:39. > :34:46.limited international action. Here is Cazorla, Giroud. Ozil, brilliant!
:34:47. > :34:55.They have been under the kosh. Arsenal came out and scored a really
:34:56. > :35:14.good goal. Super chip in. Ozil guided in a
:35:15. > :35:19.really accurate header. Giroud, lovely ball, quality delivery.
:35:20. > :35:35.Arsenal two, Norwich nil. Not a great clearance. Howson.
:35:36. > :35:42.Norwich are back in the game. Poor clearance by Mertesacker.
:35:43. > :35:49.Mertesacker angled it straight into his path. One touch and then, bang,
:35:50. > :35:54.scored the winner at Stoke. Scored goals at the tail end of last
:35:55. > :35:58.season. That is a very good strike. 2-1, game on. There could yet be a
:35:59. > :36:19.sting in the tail of this game. Ramsey. Arsenal have got back on top
:36:20. > :36:28.again. He quickly pushes it away, powerfully.
:36:29. > :36:41.Wilshere, little chip in at the middle. Handle ball there by Turner,
:36:42. > :36:45.Gibbs thought so. Ramsey did so well under pressure. Wilshere thought
:36:46. > :36:51.about the cross. Ramsey wants it played to feet. Ramsey, lovely
:36:52. > :37:00.stuff, Aaron Ramsey, brilliant stuff. Brilliant. Left on the subs
:37:01. > :37:04.bench by a manager who is all smiles and gives him the thumbs up. 11
:37:05. > :37:09.goals for club and country this season for the Welshman, nine for
:37:10. > :37:16.Arsenal. What a week it's been. Scored against Belgium for Wales
:37:17. > :37:21.and, surely now, clinches Arsenal's victory. He shifts it back on to his
:37:22. > :37:27.right, cracks it past a goalkeeper who has been in fine form. The
:37:28. > :37:35.Manager of the Month smiles at the Player of the Month.
:37:36. > :37:45.Oh, this would gap it -- cap it all if he could get one. Wilshere
:37:46. > :37:50.offside. Norwich have come out. Round the back. Ozil. Another
:37:51. > :37:57.beautifully worked goal. Some of the team work by Arsenal today has been
:37:58. > :38:16.fabulous. Ozil has two, Arsenal have four. Lovely ball by Rosicky.
:38:17. > :38:20.Arsenal four, Norwich one. They stay top of the Premier League with
:38:21. > :38:23.superb finishing, wonderful team work, some great style and
:38:24. > :38:26.technique. Norwich had their moments, but Arsenal ultimately
:38:27. > :38:34.outclassed them. A few weeks ago we lost our first
:38:35. > :38:40.home game here and it was a very difficult time, but we responded
:38:41. > :38:45.quickly and well and since we have been consistent. I like the
:38:46. > :38:48.solidarity level we have in the team. Of course, we know we have
:38:49. > :38:53.quality, but it's now how much can we maintain that, sustain that
:38:54. > :38:59.effort to play together at that level. That will decide our future.
:39:00. > :39:03.At 2-12 it looked like we could get something from the game. Have you to
:39:04. > :39:07.make decisions. At that stage it is either you settle for what you've
:39:08. > :39:11.got or you endeavour to try and get back in the game. We changed it a
:39:12. > :39:15.little bit. They finished quite strong. We are confident we want to
:39:16. > :39:19.play in the opposition's final third. We did that well today. We
:39:20. > :39:23.have to be patient sometimes. They blocked us and played well. We got
:39:24. > :39:27.the goals. Thankfully, we got the win. Nothing negative to report
:39:28. > :39:32.here, I suspect. Arsenal played wonderful football, they were breath
:39:33. > :39:36.taking. Impossible to be negative about that performance. It was a
:39:37. > :39:41.remarkable performance, stunning goals. For Arsenal the first game of
:39:42. > :39:45.the season it was a shambles they have an embarrassment of riches. He
:39:46. > :39:50.has the lovely problem of who he will pick and who he is going to
:39:51. > :39:54.leave out. You have the goalkeeper, back four, girp girl through the
:39:55. > :39:58.front, you have the one-off with Ozil, that is fine. Then you have
:39:59. > :40:02.three. I would imagine when Walcott comes back he will be in, he gives
:40:03. > :40:08.them something different with his pace, then have you two. Cazorla,
:40:09. > :40:10.Wilshere, Arttea, Oxlade-Chamberlain, the person at
:40:11. > :40:15.the start of the season you thought would never be part of this equation
:40:16. > :40:21.would be Aaron Ramsey. Sensational, isn't he? He came off the bench
:40:22. > :40:28.today, I mean this is the cutback for Ozil. Timed to perfection there.
:40:29. > :40:35.What about this? This is like zeal sdan. Unbelievable. Technique is
:40:36. > :40:40.just brilliant. Looks so comfortable on the ball. So much confidence.
:40:41. > :40:44.Look at this. Everything he is trying he coming off. The goal is
:40:45. > :40:49.absolutely sensational as well. I mean, he has so much confidence. He
:40:50. > :40:55.obviously has half a yard of pace. He's got the strength to go with it.
:40:56. > :41:01.He has always had the technique. Wilshere picks it up. A great first
:41:02. > :41:05.touch. Then he just sells them dummy after dummy after dummy. He
:41:06. > :41:15.despatches it in the back of the net. But, to beat that... How good
:41:16. > :41:21.is this goal? Wilshere, you know, he played against West Brom on the left
:41:22. > :41:25.he was really poor. When he is driving forward this is what he is
:41:26. > :41:31.capable of doing. Goal of the season, you are watching it.
:41:32. > :41:35.Unbelievable good. Arsenal win the league? Ask me in six games and I
:41:36. > :41:40.will tell you. Now? I will not change my mind. I will say Chelsea
:41:41. > :41:47.will still win it. Been hugely impress windows them. I will say,
:41:48. > :41:48.no. We've already seen three great games
:41:49. > :42:11.and we've still got five to go. Southampton have taken just one
:42:12. > :42:14.point in 14 games from Manchester United, but arrived at Old Trafford
:42:15. > :42:16.in fourth place, four points ahead of their opponents and boasting the
:42:17. > :42:23.league's meanest defence. Steve Wilson saw this one.
:42:24. > :42:29.The news that Januzaj has signed a five-year contract with Manchester
:42:30. > :42:33.United gives them a boost before kick-off. He is about the most
:42:34. > :42:38.talked about teenager in the game and simply could not be left out
:42:39. > :42:48.after his fireworks at Sunderland. Rickie Lambert has been left out, on
:42:49. > :42:53.the bench. Osvaldo plays for Southampton.
:42:54. > :43:02.Van Persie. His first touch, nice one too. Interchange with Rooney,
:43:03. > :43:15.finds Nani. Here is van Persie. The little toe was a good one from Fon
:43:16. > :43:21.Ted te. They thought rch Rodriguez was fouled. Brilliant from van
:43:22. > :43:30.Persie. Look at van Persie here, great invention.
:43:31. > :43:39.Nani. He pulls it back for van Persie. Great save by Boruc. Good
:43:40. > :43:47.football by Manchester United. Nani here got into a great position. Teed
:43:48. > :43:54.up van Persie. There he is, Sir Alex Fergusson, alongside David Gill,
:43:55. > :43:56.both missed, as inevitably is going to be the case after such a long
:43:57. > :44:06.time. The Blackshirts are pressurising
:44:07. > :44:12.everything. Osvaldo can't get away from Carrick. But there is no time
:44:13. > :44:20.to dwell on the ball for United at the back. Offside, Van Persie. That
:44:21. > :44:31.looked tight. It is tight. But it is right.
:44:32. > :44:38.Fellaini is playing in the deep defensive midfield role. Osvaldo did
:44:39. > :44:41.not test it as much as he should have done. That is a golden chance
:44:42. > :44:46.for Southampton and it all started when raw wrecks when Wayne Rooney
:44:47. > :44:53.lost the ball. Control lets him down. Osvaldo will know he has just
:44:54. > :45:03.had the best chance of the game so far.
:45:04. > :45:09.A great ball in, the offside flag is up. A lovely ball in from Januzaj.
:45:10. > :45:32.He is offside. Van Persie, following up, and
:45:33. > :45:38.scores. Robin Van Persie for Manchester United. At the third time
:45:39. > :45:43.of asking, they did and Pixar offside trap. -- they picked the
:45:44. > :46:03.offside trap. That is Lovren and he steers it to
:46:04. > :46:22.the far. Manchester United lead. Rooney, allowed to turn and hit the
:46:23. > :46:41.bar. Well, Rooney here within an ace of making it two.
:46:42. > :46:53.Fonte wondered where his man had gone.
:46:54. > :47:01.Rooney could not divert it goalwards. Schneiderlin was there.
:47:02. > :47:03.It is a corner. A great overlap from Evra. Good defending from
:47:04. > :47:13.Schneiderlin. Rooney with a corner kick for
:47:14. > :47:18.Manchester United and off the bar, Van Persie.
:47:19. > :47:27.And as a corner. Twice now Manchester United have hit the bar.
:47:28. > :47:30.Robin Van Persie this time. Southampton indebted to Artur Boruc,
:47:31. > :47:45.with the save from the follow-up. Another Rooney corner.
:47:46. > :47:55.A tremendous save by Boruc and a miss by Fellaini. That was almost
:47:56. > :47:58.passed Boruc from Januzaj. Talk about strong wrists in a goalkeeper,
:47:59. > :48:17.how about this from Artur Boruc? This could have been a second.
:48:18. > :48:19.Welbeck definitely had the legs to beat Schneiderlin, but what a great
:48:20. > :48:55.slide from Schneiderlin. Can Clyne finish? A good save by De
:48:56. > :48:59.Gea. Well worked, Southampton, a good stop by De Gea. He has had
:49:00. > :49:05.precious little to do come in all honesty, during the game.
:49:06. > :49:15.It is a corner to Southampton. There are two and a half minutes to go. He
:49:16. > :49:21.looks like a man who is ready to spring up in celebration, Mauricio
:49:22. > :49:28.Pochettino. We shall see. Ward-Prowse with the corner, Lovren
:49:29. > :49:34.has equalised! With barely 90 seconds to play. Southampton have
:49:35. > :49:48.still a point, surely, from Old Trafford. -- stolen a point.
:49:49. > :49:53.Manchester United will be devastated. I think Adam Lallana,
:49:54. > :49:56.standing right in front of the goalkeeper, might get a claim on
:49:57. > :50:00.that. It just brushed against his calf.
:50:01. > :50:07.You have scored at Anfield, have used go. Old Trafford or not? I
:50:08. > :50:12.don't know. Really, I don't care. The most important thing is the one
:50:13. > :50:15.point. Apologist Lovren but it definitely came off my knee. It went
:50:16. > :50:22.through my legs. It doesn't matter, it is a great point for us.
:50:23. > :50:27.Transition macro I will give 50% to Lallana and 50% to Lovren, they both
:50:28. > :50:32.deserve it. There were periods where we were not so good and while we
:50:33. > :50:35.were like that there was always a chance Southampton could create
:50:36. > :50:40.something but the moments we had, if we had just got the second goal we
:50:41. > :50:45.would have put it to bed. 1-0 with a dangerous result. On another day we
:50:46. > :50:49.would have got one or two more but the way things are going at the
:50:50. > :50:53.moment it is not falling for us. We have to stand up, improve and get
:50:54. > :50:58.better and turn the corner. Things appear to be very different this
:50:59. > :51:01.season. It is perhaps reflected by the variances performances of these
:51:02. > :51:04.two sides. In particular Southampton, the best defensive
:51:05. > :51:08.record in the league and how many goals have they conceded? Three
:51:09. > :51:15.goals, this time after -- this time last year after eight games, 24. We
:51:16. > :51:18.saw glimpses of it last year when Pochettino was playing how they were
:51:19. > :51:24.playing but he has taken them to another level this year. Brought in
:51:25. > :51:31.three big players, Osvaldo, Wanyama oh -- Wanyama and Lovren.
:51:32. > :51:35.They are committing players forward, four or five players in the box.
:51:36. > :51:39.They are comfortable on the ball, they know their game inside out,
:51:40. > :51:43.into Lallana. The most important thing, the thing where they are
:51:44. > :51:46.getting better, is the commitment going forward there and the reaction
:51:47. > :51:51.here when they actually lose the ball. Within a second, because they
:51:52. > :51:55.have that many bodies forward, they win the ball back. Shaw wins it back
:51:56. > :51:59.and they are back on the attack again. This time without the ball,
:52:00. > :52:04.look at them pressing really, really high. Wanyama is in there. Osvaldo
:52:05. > :52:08.is in there. Davis is closing down and there is no time for United on
:52:09. > :52:13.the ball. Clyne goes in there. They win the ball back over this time on
:52:14. > :52:17.the halfway line. It is brilliant. They are working so, so hard without
:52:18. > :52:23.the ball consistently doing it. It is a great theme of their game. They
:52:24. > :52:27.play a high line, it is a risky game but they get it right and they are
:52:28. > :52:34.good at it. All in a line, Van Persie makes the run, offside, a
:52:35. > :52:38.lovely ball of Januzaj. They do it so often it is risky and they will
:52:39. > :52:42.get caught, whether it is right or wrong, a poor decision, probably
:52:43. > :52:48.half a yard offside, Rooney. He should actually finish it off. But
:52:49. > :52:51.it falls nice to Van Persie. I spoke earlier about getting the bodies in
:52:52. > :52:54.the box early in the game. This is late in the game, albeit when they
:52:55. > :53:01.are chasing it. Nine guys were tracking that ball. It. Lovren, he
:53:02. > :53:04.breaks away from Evans, poor marking. It touches Lallana in front
:53:05. > :53:09.of De Gea. It is what Southampton deserved. That is the last two
:53:10. > :53:12.minutes. They are still not content, still committing men forward in the
:53:13. > :53:17.last minute of the game, trying to win the game. They will upset a few
:53:18. > :53:21.teams this season, Southampton. I think they will be in the top seven
:53:22. > :53:27.or eight. United in trouble? Are we at crisis point? They say you can't
:53:28. > :53:30.win it in the first ten games, but you can lose it. If they have
:53:31. > :53:37.another bad result they are out of the Championship race. Is it a 30
:53:38. > :53:41.factor? It is no worse than the first ten games last season, it
:53:42. > :53:45.probably is the Fergie factor. It has been an inconsistent start for
:53:46. > :53:48.Manchester City on top scorers in the Premier League but yet to win
:53:49. > :53:52.away from home. They travelled to face West Ham side buoyed by their
:53:53. > :53:53.trouncing of Tottenham last week. Watching at Upton was Simon
:53:54. > :54:04.Brotherton. West Ham United are unchanged after
:54:05. > :54:10.their 3-0 win. Manchester City make five changes, Kompany is injured
:54:11. > :54:15.soap Garcia and Nastasic play in central defence with Clichy and
:54:16. > :54:18.Richards in for his first Premier League appearance of the season at
:54:19. > :54:27.fullback and Samir Nasri in midfield.

:55:57. > :56:01.only three yards out. Aguero had support. Nearly went all the way of

:57:05. > :57:11.Aguero celebrates his second goal of the match. The player who was fouled
:57:12. > :57:17.for the free kick finishes off the job. The ball came in completely
:57:18. > :57:18.unmarked. Manchester City's leaders doubled and West Ham's troubles on
:57:19. > :57:31.the night deepened. Sam Allardyce's expression and body
:57:32. > :57:36.language tell you all you need to know about what he thinks of that
:57:37. > :57:40.goal. There is an urgency about West Ham, as there has to be. They have
:57:41. > :57:45.yet to test Joe Hart really at all in the Manchester City goal.
:57:46. > :57:55.The deflection off Nolan is over the top. First, the ball in towards
:57:56. > :57:59.Diame, smothered by Hart. Garcia going to ground as he hooked the
:58:00. > :58:03.ball clear and the deflection of the shins of Nolan. West Ham are looking
:58:04. > :58:38.livelier. What a strike from Ricardo Vaz Te!
:58:39. > :58:42.West Ham have got a goal! We have got over half an hour to go. They
:58:43. > :58:49.have been looking livelier for a few minutes now. Having fallen two goals
:58:50. > :58:57.down, it hung in the air, Downing knocked it back in. Ricardo Vaz Te
:58:58. > :59:02.was onside and as the ball dropped it was a spectacular finish. West
:59:03. > :59:08.Ham have given themselves a chance here.
:59:09. > :59:22.It could be a chance! City responding straightaway, having
:59:23. > :59:38.conceded. The great ill almost taking it. -- Negredo.
:59:39. > :59:48.David Silva to make it three, and he has! But surely that is it? At a
:59:49. > :59:54.time when West Ham United had been hoping to get that second goal, in
:59:55. > :59:59.the end, it was a pinpoint finish into the far corner that gives
:00:00. > :00:07.Manchester City elbowroom once again and a 3-1 lead. Relief for City's
:00:08. > :00:14.manager and the supporters. Was it on your mind, the fact you had not
:00:15. > :00:16.won a match away so far? Of course. One point out of nine is not a good
:00:17. > :00:21.average. But I was One point out of nine is not a good
:00:22. > :00:28.average. But I absolutely sure that if we continue playing the way we
:00:29. > :00:34.work, we would have to win. And that was the most important thing. We
:00:35. > :00:43.were not at our best until we went back to 2-1. Unfortunately, they
:00:44. > :00:47.showed some quality that we had to accept. Because of the size and
:00:48. > :00:50.money they have, we could not live with that. That is the difference
:00:51. > :00:59.between the top and the bottom of the league. Moscow next week? Moscow
:01:00. > :01:08.was going to be tough. Obviously, Chelsea on Sunday, so it is a tough
:01:09. > :01:17.week. Sam Aled Davies's 59th birthday today. Manchester City, in
:01:18. > :01:20.fine form. West Ham were really disappointing today, particularly
:01:21. > :01:28.after that good when a couple of weeks ago. At Wirral was
:01:29. > :01:36.sensational. -- Sergio Aguero. One-on-one, he looks to the right
:01:37. > :01:39.and put it to the left. Sam went bonkers at this. The smallest guy on
:01:40. > :01:51.the pitch, and this first headed goal. Vaz Tay is not even looking at
:01:52. > :01:56.him. -- Vaz Te. It is a lovely header. City played very well today.
:01:57. > :02:00.Very well. He's getting it together, working things out. The football
:02:01. > :02:07.league show follows us tonight and there is Manish with the details.
:02:08. > :02:11.We saw ten red cards in the football league and our feature tonight is a
:02:12. > :02:16.real cracker. Two of the top scorers met at vicarage Road. Derby match
:02:17. > :02:25.Watford. Highlights involving Blackpool and Wigan, plus a catch up
:02:26. > :02:32.with MK Dons. Join me and Leroy at 11:55pm on BBC One.
:02:33. > :02:36.A special Match of the Day to come and live from Villa park on Sunday.
:02:37. > :02:45.Setting us up nicely for the main course.
:02:46. > :02:55.# I want a Sunday kind of love. # A love to last past Saturday
:02:56. > :03:04.night. # I want a Sunday kind of love. I
:03:05. > :03:08.wonder if we are overdoing it. It is well worth mentioning that football
:03:09. > :03:17.focus will come live from Saint Georges park next Saturday. Guests
:03:18. > :03:21.include Greg Dyke. Four weeks after sacking a 45 rural
:03:22. > :03:27.foreign manager, Sunderland unveiled a passionate 45-year-old foreign
:03:28. > :03:31.manager. Gus Poyet's first game was at Swansea. You will be comforted by
:03:32. > :03:38.the fact that the Swans have not won in their last eight league games.
:03:39. > :03:42.Martin Fisher made the trip. Gus Poyet becomes Sunderland's sex
:03:43. > :03:47.manager in five years. His challenge, obvious but far from
:03:48. > :03:52.simple. A bold first step in team selection, with the inclusion of
:03:53. > :03:58.Phil Bardsley. More popular for the fans, the return of Steven Fletcher
:03:59. > :04:09.after injury. In a continued absence of Ashley Williams, Leon Britton is
:04:10. > :04:12.back to captain. His 400th start. Their only point in the campaign
:04:13. > :04:18.came two months ago a way to Southampton.
:04:19. > :04:27.Gardner is the culprit. Swansea are the beneficiaries. Clumsy from
:04:28. > :04:33.Gardner. Will it be costly? De Guzman takes it. Westwood struggles
:04:34. > :04:41.to get across. Certainly, bending it viciously. Westwood would have made
:04:42. > :04:43.it if it had been on target. The Swansea fans, excited probably for
:04:44. > :04:59.the first time this half. A real chance! What a mess by
:05:00. > :05:20.Bardsley. What a return that would have been.
:05:21. > :05:30.Westwood makes a very good save. If I'm not mistaken, that was on its
:05:31. > :05:38.way. Dyer let it fly from a long way out. Swansea's third corner, De
:05:39. > :05:49.Guzman. And it's in! I'm not sure who it came off. Did it take a
:05:50. > :05:57.further touch? De Guzman with the delivery. I'm not sure if that is
:05:58. > :06:04.not an own goal. Who did it come off? It is definitely a Sunderland
:06:05. > :06:09.player, I think it is Phil Bardsley. Cannot give that to him. It was
:06:10. > :06:10.going wide. It is an own goal by Phil Bardsley and Swansea have their
:06:11. > :06:43.tails up. De Guzman! Water vole! What a goal!
:06:44. > :06:47.-- what a goal. There was nothing lucky about that from Jonathan De
:06:48. > :06:54.Guzman. A brilliant goal. Routledge was persistent and De Guzman, with a
:06:55. > :06:59.magnificent finish. Kieran Westwood has no chance with that. Two goals
:07:00. > :07:03.in the space of two minutes early in the second half. Jonathan De Guzman
:07:04. > :07:11.with this first Premier League strike of the campaign, and already
:07:12. > :07:19.it is beyond Sunderland. They have to get a call back and soon.
:07:20. > :07:26.Borini with his first touch! What a chance. A bad mess from Fabio
:07:27. > :07:42.Borini. A wonderful delivery from caramel. -- capture mole.
:07:43. > :07:46.Kieran Westwood, what a save! De Guzman, who has already scored a
:07:47. > :08:04.beauty, almost added a cracker here. Leon Britton goes down. That is a
:08:05. > :08:09.penalty. Gardner clipped him. No complaints from the Sunderland man.
:08:10. > :08:16.There cannot be, really. He was just inside the penalty area and Swansea
:08:17. > :08:23.have a penalty. Bony here, with a chance.
:08:24. > :08:33.Perfect. Thick penalty from Bony. -- perfect penalty. His first Premier
:08:34. > :08:39.League goal since the opening strike against Manchester United. What a
:08:40. > :08:48.start to the second half. 20 minutes since the restart and Swansea are
:08:49. > :08:51.disappearing over the hills. Gus Poyet has to reflect on how this
:08:52. > :09:12.game has been turned on its head. Lovely football from Swansea. Michu
:09:13. > :09:16.with a header! Westwood denies him. He has produced two splendid saves
:09:17. > :09:26.in the second half. Otherwise this victory for Swansea would be even
:09:27. > :09:32.more convincing. It is four now. It is Chico Florez, the man sent off
:09:33. > :09:35.when the sides met last season. Celebrating its first ever goal in
:09:36. > :09:40.the Premier League. Good delivery from De Guzman. Chico Florez
:09:41. > :09:46.stooped. It might have taken a little deflection as well. The final
:09:47. > :09:52.touch might have come of Fletcher but it is Chico's goal. And the
:09:53. > :10:08.Sunderland fans, those hardy souls have a miserable trip back home. It
:10:09. > :10:14.was difficult to take. Not a nice welcome to the Premiership for me.
:10:15. > :10:19.There is no place to hide. It was an important game for us. Two very
:10:20. > :10:26.different halves. At forgetting the first goal, we started to play
:10:27. > :10:32.differently. And the rest came by itself. Adding it was an important
:10:33. > :10:36.win for us. There is nothing to complain about and that will make
:10:37. > :10:43.sure we keep working. -- I will make sure. Unfortunately, we are in the
:10:44. > :10:45.same situation this week. We need to make sure that we improved
:10:46. > :10:48.dramatically. same situation this week. We need to
:10:49. > :10:51.make sure that He has done a job on his hands. One of the worst starts
:10:52. > :10:59.to a season in Premier League history. Hard to come back from that
:11:00. > :11:02.kind of start. Mixed emotions. He would be quite happy with the way
:11:03. > :11:08.they competed for the first 55 minutes but he will be concerned
:11:09. > :11:13.with how it fell apart. Swansea, to be fair, are a good side. I know
:11:14. > :11:18.they have not won in 88 home games but they have a lot of quality. It
:11:19. > :11:23.was a combination of great Swansea play but when you are at the bottom
:11:24. > :11:30.and struggling, the head is down, and you think the world is against
:11:31. > :11:32.you. Phil Bardsley, coming back for his first game of the season, 0-0,
:11:33. > :11:35.he had a decent chance. his first game of the season, 0-0,
:11:36. > :11:39.he had a decent If he had taken it, it would have been different. But
:11:40. > :11:45.this sums everything up about Sunderland. They get in a good
:11:46. > :11:52.position at the back post. It comes to him and he leans back. That was a
:11:53. > :11:58.woeful mess. And then the opening goal, it hits his leg and to be
:11:59. > :12:04.fair, that is unlikely. Again, it just fell apart. It is a long way
:12:05. > :12:10.back. It is the sort of game that can turn things around. It got Paolo
:12:11. > :12:16.Di Canio going last year. It got him the job in the end. It was a massive
:12:17. > :12:21.game. Next, a clash between two sides in the top harbour. Everton,
:12:22. > :12:24.unbeaten in the last 12, and Hull, who have not conceded a league goal
:12:25. > :12:30.for three and a half hours of football.
:12:31. > :12:38.Everton will once again look to their man of the moment as they bid
:12:39. > :12:42.to get back to winning ways. Lukaku has 15 Premier League goals in this
:12:43. > :12:46.calendar year. Gareth Barry returns in midfield, having been ineligible
:12:47. > :12:49.against Manchester City. All, unbeaten in four, make one change.
:12:50. > :12:53.Robbie Brady makes a welcome return. Two weeks after a hernia
:12:54. > :13:20.operation. A beautiful move from Everton. They
:13:21. > :13:34.get a corner of Elmohamady. Leighton Baines with the coroner. -- corner.
:13:35. > :13:38.It doesn't matter. Less than eight minutes gone, 1-0 Everton. The
:13:39. > :13:49.strike from Mirallas the McGregor all ends up.
:13:50. > :13:56.Watch Barry just make the run, it might have been an offside position
:13:57. > :13:59.there as well. Conversation between Barry and Barkley, appears to think
:14:00. > :14:13.that Gareth Barry did. He stayed down after that
:14:14. > :14:18.challenge, the Hull striker. It might have been a little bit high.
:14:19. > :14:21.The Hull striker felt the full force of it. It has not been the best
:14:22. > :14:26.quarter of an hour for Steve Bruce, his team 1-0 down. It looks as
:14:27. > :14:29.though he is on loan Sunderland striker will play no further part.
:14:30. > :14:31.The Ivory Coast international Yannick Sagbo is on for the majority
:14:32. > :14:50.of this game. The backpass could have been hugely
:14:51. > :14:51.embarrassing, he took a chance with his first touch by turning inside
:14:52. > :15:04.and drilled it back. That reaction is totally
:15:05. > :15:08.understandable. A beautiful delivery, look at Faye, four yards
:15:09. > :15:16.out and that is how close it was the 1-1.
:15:17. > :15:24.Barry, for the second time today, was a little late there. There was
:15:25. > :15:28.no card for his first tackle on Danny Graham, but there is this
:15:29. > :15:31.time. It is the first yellow of the day from Neal Swarbrick and Gareth
:15:32. > :15:36.Barry is the recipient of it for this challenge on Aluko. Again, that
:15:37. > :15:39.is not good viewing. It angered Steve Bruce. He was jumping in the
:15:40. > :15:52.air as soon as the tackle was made. There is the equaliser, Sagbo, the
:15:53. > :16:18.substitute, levels it for Hull. Beautifully works. The finish was
:16:19. > :16:22.clinical from the Ivory Coast international, Yannick Sagbo. No
:16:23. > :16:35.chance for Howard. Everton one, Hull one.
:16:36. > :16:44.Livermore, that was a chance. He has never scored a Premier League goal,
:16:45. > :16:49.had an opportunity to do so here. Leon Osman departs and for the first
:16:50. > :16:55.time since August the 31st, Steven Pienaar is back in Everton action
:16:56. > :17:01.and has a little over half an hour to influence matters.
:17:02. > :17:18.Pienaar's first touch, it is a clinical one! What about that!
:17:19. > :17:26.And all-important touch, ten seconds after coming on. You could watch
:17:27. > :17:28.that one over and over again. That is what you call a dream
:17:29. > :17:48.substitution. Kone, surely, how has he missed
:17:49. > :17:54.that? A golden chance for his first Everton goal. He might have been
:17:55. > :18:00.offside anyway, but 99 times out of 100 Kone would have scored there. No
:18:01. > :18:10.chance to take your eye off either end at the moment.
:18:11. > :18:18.An excellent save by McGregor. He has certainly been involved since he
:18:19. > :18:23.came on to. Kone was denied by the reflexes of McGregor. Everton two,
:18:24. > :18:29.Hull one. The big decisions have gone against us today.
:18:30. > :18:36.Gareth Barry touched it. I did not feel any touch at all, a couple of
:18:37. > :18:39.people said it might have hit me been offside. I felt he did not
:18:40. > :18:46.touch it and I need to believe my player. But even if it touched
:18:47. > :18:49.minimally, I would expect the referee to spot it because it would
:18:50. > :18:54.have been a gamble and in football the referee has the hardest job.
:18:55. > :18:57.Gareth Barry is a fantastic player and a great pro over the years and I
:18:58. > :19:04.hate to single anybody out but his tackle on Aluko in particular for me
:19:05. > :19:07.is a Redcar. I remember winning the ball but the referee said I caught
:19:08. > :19:10.him, so if that is the case you can pick up a red card. I am not too
:19:11. > :19:13.sure it would have been a read. He seems to have been involved in most
:19:14. > :19:17.of the controversial moments, Gareth Barry. What do you think? We are
:19:18. > :19:28.about to find out. He was offside and he touched it, no
:19:29. > :19:34.doubt about it. A good strike from Mirallas but if you watch Gareth
:19:35. > :19:38.Barry, he walks out, back there, goes back in an offside position and
:19:39. > :19:43.just as Mirallas is going to shoot, we freeze it there. He is offside,
:19:44. > :19:48.no doubt about that. There is a little flick here which will tell
:19:49. > :19:52.you. It was me, I definitely had a little touch and Steve Bruce is
:19:53. > :19:57.right. This probably should have been a yellow card. Clumsy, high, he
:19:58. > :20:02.doesn't get a yellow card for this one, Gareth Barry. He should have.
:20:03. > :20:06.This one is probably worse and could have been a straight red. Dangerous,
:20:07. > :20:11.high, over the ball, gets a yellow card for that one. He should have
:20:12. > :20:15.been sent off. A good winter Everton. Our final game this week as
:20:16. > :20:19.Stoke against West Brom, the Potters have found goals hard to come by,
:20:20. > :20:23.just four so far this season. The Baggies have been in good form and
:20:24. > :20:24.have yet to lose an away game in this campaign. At the Britannia
:20:25. > :20:37.Stadium was Alistair Mann. Three changes. Oak, a first-ever
:20:38. > :20:44.Premier League start for Assaidi, the Moroccan normally -- the
:20:45. > :20:48.Moroccan on loan. No such problems for West Brom, whose only alteration
:20:49. > :20:53.sees the physicality of Anichebe preferred to Anelka. The impressive
:20:54. > :21:08.20-year-old Berahino retains his place in the side.
:21:09. > :21:15.He will feel he may be should have put West Brom in front there. He
:21:16. > :21:21.looks for the flag, the flag did not come and Sessegnon tiptoed his way
:21:22. > :21:28.through. He is aghast he hasn't opened the scoring. Four games
:21:29. > :21:30.unbeaten, two wins, two draws, the most notable win at Old Trafford for
:21:31. > :21:45.Steve Clark. The touch was poor and it allowed
:21:46. > :21:49.the international keeper to smother him. A good stop by Begovic, but I
:21:50. > :21:52.think Amalfitano's touch at the vital moment was the reason he could
:21:53. > :22:05.not get it beyond the onrushing Stoke keeper.
:22:06. > :22:16.Nothing given. A good look at the assistant from Howard Webb and he
:22:17. > :22:20.stayed motionless. Howard Webb awarded nothing. It is a goal kick
:22:21. > :22:24.and Mulumbu picks himself up. He believes he ought to have won a
:22:25. > :22:30.penalty here. Getting beyond Adam, that is a penalty, no question about
:22:31. > :22:32.it. Yes, that is a penalty. No wonder Mulumbu has gone down as he
:22:33. > :23:06.did. Ireland's. A fabulous opportunity
:23:07. > :23:10.for Stephen Ireland, got into the position from which you felt he must
:23:11. > :23:15.get it on target. But he scooped it over the top of the bar and Stoke's
:23:16. > :23:36.best opportunity ends in the stands and not in the goal.
:23:37. > :23:43.Adam, he saw the goalkeeper off his line and almost converted it. A
:23:44. > :23:48.fabulous effort from Adam and there is even applause from Myhill to the
:23:49. > :23:52.man who almost lobbed him. Nice to see. A big smile on Myhill and
:23:53. > :24:27.applause to Adam for attempting it. That would have been sensational.
:24:28. > :24:33.Arnautovic could not get the touch and it goes out for a throw.
:24:34. > :24:38.Arnautovic believes he was fouled, Howard Webb says no. A lovely ball
:24:39. > :24:42.in from Stephen Ireland and the cross, well, how close was it to
:24:43. > :24:49.getting to the Austrian? Not far at all. A victory today would give Mark
:24:50. > :24:57.Hughes' 100th winner of the Premier League manager.
:24:58. > :25:05.Stoppage time, three minutes of it. Is that enough for one of these
:25:06. > :25:11.sides to conjure up a winning goal? It opens up for Sessegnon, must
:25:12. > :25:15.score, straight into the body of Begovic. What an opportunity to
:25:16. > :25:22.finish off the game and Sessegnon maybe ought to have scored the first
:25:23. > :25:25.half but struck at Begovic, has done exactly the same at the end of the
:25:26. > :25:29.second. The points were beckoning. Sessegnon. Beyond everyone, right in
:25:30. > :25:34.front of the goalkeeper. Begovic spread himself and I think Stoke
:25:35. > :25:37.City know who their man of the matches today. It is their
:25:38. > :25:39.goalkeeper. West Brom will go puzzled as to how they have ended up
:25:40. > :25:49.drawing. We should have won the game. You had
:25:50. > :25:52.to produce a bit of quality at the right time. We did that on a number
:25:53. > :25:56.of occasions. I can think of the top of my head three really good
:25:57. > :26:01.goal-scoring chances but their goalkeeper made good saves and one
:26:02. > :26:06.stonewall penalty, not given us a penalty, it was beyond him me. It is
:26:07. > :26:12.clear it was a penalty and we did not get it. That leaves us a bit
:26:13. > :26:16.disappointed. On reflection 0-0 was a fair result for both teams. I am
:26:17. > :26:23.sure West Brom will question maybe the missed penalty opportunity, but
:26:24. > :26:27.I was saying the same things a couple of weeks back so the old
:26:28. > :26:31.adage that they even themselves out, I never used to believe it but maybe
:26:32. > :26:37.it has done today. You can tell from that but even Mark Hughes. It was a
:26:38. > :26:40.penalty! It was an inspired performance from Begovic, West Brom
:26:41. > :26:50.should have won the game easily. I love it the way he put his hands
:26:51. > :26:55.up and says, no, I never touched it. Every time you watch this it gets
:26:56. > :27:02.worse. Nangel coming up, it is incredible. -- an angle coming up,
:27:03. > :27:06.it is incredible. For goodness sake, it is a stonewall penalty kick. You
:27:07. > :27:14.have Howard Webb trying to have a look around. This would have been
:27:15. > :27:20.absolute perfection. But it was a game that West Brom should have one.
:27:21. > :27:23.He can't score. They can't score at all but they have a good goalkeeper
:27:24. > :27:29.and that is what you need when you are not scoring. He is playing well,
:27:30. > :27:35.isn't he? That is the key, if you are keeping clean sheets. If you are
:27:36. > :27:39.not scoring, you need the back. We're out of time. We asked you
:27:40. > :27:42.rather provocatively if you thought Manchester United would finish in
:27:43. > :27:48.the top four this season. Here is response, 70 cents think Manchester
:27:49. > :27:52.with United will not stay at the top of macro. -- 70% think Manchester
:27:53. > :27:58.United will not stay in the top four. With their midfield maestros
:27:59. > :28:03.on song Arsenal are top of the pile with Chelsea leading the chase.
:28:04. > :28:08.Manchester City found some form away from home to stay in contention.
:28:09. > :28:10.Southampton's pointer United keeps them in the top five. Sunderland
:28:11. > :28:16.remain bottom after being thrashed at Swansea. Norwich stay in the
:28:17. > :28:20.bottom three. Crystal Palace and Fulham need on Monday. Let's have a
:28:21. > :28:24.look at what the Sunday papers have to say. The Telegraph talks of civil
:28:25. > :28:29.war at the FA over Greg Dyke's commission into the future of
:28:30. > :28:33.English football. The Mail on Sunday says Greg Dyke is facing revolt only
