Would this be the biggest week in your managerial career? It feels | :00:54. | :01:05. | |
like it. We will qualify, won't we? Yes. I am confident. | :01:06. | :01:10. | |
Hello there, yes, you heard it here first. | :01:11. | :01:12. | |
Hodgson's choice has won the day. 10 of the 11 who started against | :01:13. | :01:16. | |
Poland were back in action in the Premier League, with a place on the | :01:17. | :01:18. | |
plane to Brazil up for grabs. Still playing for their places in | :01:19. | :01:49. | |
our World Cup squad are Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer, but until then | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
it's all about the Barclay's Premier League and we've got a cracking | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
Match of the Day for you this week. The first of our eight games is | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
Chelsea versus Cardiff. I think it's fair to say Malky | :02:02. | :02:04. | |
Mackay hasn't had the easiest of international breaks with behind the | :02:05. | :02:07. | |
scenes unrest and a fall-out with the owner. | :02:08. | :02:10. | |
That sort of thing never happens to the happy one. | :02:11. | :02:10. | |
The commentator was John Motson. Jose Mourinho mourn picked his team | :02:11. | :02:26. | |
with Tuesday's game in mind. -- Jose Mourinho. | :02:27. | :02:31. | |
It has been a turbulent week for Cardiff. Malky McKay lost his head | :02:32. | :02:40. | |
of recruitment. Seems strange to see Cardiff City | :02:41. | :02:50. | |
wearing the first choice strip of red shirts because their owner | :02:51. | :02:56. | |
Vincent Tan changed from blue to red when they took over. However, they | :02:57. | :03:01. | |
couldn't have worn blue today at Stamford Bridge. | :03:02. | :03:08. | |
That was nicely set up format ya, he could have connected with his left | :03:09. | :03:20. | |
foot. This is Ivanovic. He acknowledges the pass from Eto'o. It | :03:21. | :03:25. | |
looked as though he put it almost on the plate for him. Mata swung at | :03:26. | :03:29. | |
that and didn't really connect properly. Ivanovic it was who had | :03:30. | :03:36. | |
the final shot. Mutch goes on here. He has beaten Petr Cech. Cardiff | :03:37. | :03:42. | |
City have taken a shock lead through Jordon Mutch inside 10 minutes. It | :03:43. | :03:49. | |
came from David Marshall, the header on, well, Ramires was it who didn't | :03:50. | :03:55. | |
quite get enough on that? Luiz who didn't cover. When Cech came out, | :03:56. | :04:02. | |
not happy way to mark his 300th league appearance for Chelsea, Petr | :04:03. | :04:09. | |
Cech. A cool finish. It's Chelsea 0, Cardiff City 1. Arsene Wenger making | :04:10. | :04:14. | |
the point yesterday that Premier League is not like it was. You can't | :04:15. | :04:18. | |
discount any of your opponents these days. The ball out for a corner. | :04:19. | :04:26. | |
Cardiff have come here showing no fear. Mata will take the corner. Oh, | :04:27. | :04:33. | |
there was... Oh, John Terry came running across. He scored recently | :04:34. | :04:38. | |
at Tottenham. This one, oh, he got the glance. There was a man on the | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
post. This is not the sort of afternoon that Jose Mourinho would | :04:44. | :04:47. | |
have been enjoying up to now. We all know he is not afraid to make | :04:48. | :04:49. | |
changes. Fouled by John Terry on Peter | :04:50. | :04:59. | |
Odemwingie. A tug of the shirt at the end there. Whittingham put the | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
ball down here for Cardiff. They have two or three players waving | :05:06. | :05:08. | |
from the far side of the penalty area, one is Much. There was a flick | :05:09. | :05:16. | |
there. -- Mutch. AUDIENCE: Got closest to that. Cech, | :05:17. | :05:21. | |
who is the third Chelsea player to reach 300 Premier League appearance, | :05:22. | :05:28. | |
made an elastic save there. Gunnarsson, forward by Lampard. This | :05:29. | :05:36. | |
is looking for Eto'o. Where did David Marshall catch it? Eto'o | :05:37. | :05:41. | |
thinks he is outside his area. The official on the far side must have | :05:42. | :05:48. | |
been in line, or was he? I'm not sure whether Marshal didn't perhaps | :05:49. | :05:53. | |
over step the mark there. Here's Hazard again. Mata. | :05:54. | :06:13. | |
David Marshall, oh, the keeper has lost it, Hazard is through. A real | :06:14. | :06:20. | |
chance for Chelsea. It's Eto'o, surely, Hazard. 1-1. Chelsea draw | :06:21. | :06:31. | |
level after 32 minutes. Marshall now feels probably the way Cech felt in | :06:32. | :06:38. | |
the game. Questions whether Eto'o knocked the ball out of Marshall's | :06:39. | :06:43. | |
hands. He made contact here. Had he already released the ball, I wonder. | :06:44. | :06:50. | |
Play went on. Hazard finished it off for Chelsea anyway. We have seen a | :06:51. | :06:58. | |
bit of this before, haven't we, George Best, Gary cos bye, is the | :06:59. | :07:02. | |
goalkeeper in control of the ball when he releases it. Eto'o says not. | :07:03. | :07:07. | |
Play goes on. This is a real bad moment for David Marshall, the big | :07:08. | :07:12. | |
question in the laws of the game. In the opinion of the referee, is the | :07:13. | :07:15. | |
goalkeeper still in control of the ball when he drops it in that | :07:16. | :07:17. | |
fashion? Now then, Ramires for Chelsea. He's | :07:18. | :07:30. | |
gone down. Torres stopped because he thought the referee was going to | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
give the free-kick, that is what he means. Chelsea have forced a corner. | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
It's going to be taken by Willian. That comes off Caulker. It will be a | :07:37. | :07:50. | |
corner the other side. This is to be taken by Lampard. Now, we've got | :07:51. | :07:56. | |
Eto'o and Torres on the pitch. That is Ivanovic who dummies it and gets | :07:57. | :08:03. | |
a second chance. Ivanovic. Appeals for handball, not given. Chelsea | :08:04. | :08:08. | |
still have the edge here. It was a good ball by Hazard. There's the | :08:09. | :08:16. | |
shot. It's in. It's Samule Eto'o's first goal for Chelsea. Samule | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
Eto'o, his fourth start in two substituted appearances. Eto'o make | :08:24. | :08:30. | |
it is 2-1. How he found the space to get that shot in. Watch the way he | :08:31. | :08:35. | |
goes round the defender and then hit it is with power into the near | :08:36. | :08:40. | |
corner of the goal. That is a real classic, world-class international | :08:41. | :08:43. | |
striker, certainly of many years standing. | :08:44. | :08:50. | |
He goes off a few minutes later. After a spell of three at the back, | :08:51. | :09:02. | |
Jose Mourinho has gone back to four. Oh, hello, he is not very happy. | :09:03. | :09:12. | |
Fourth official stepping in in front of Jose Mourinho. He is being sent | :09:13. | :09:20. | |
away by the referee now. I think the cause of that dispute between | :09:21. | :09:24. | |
Mourinho and the referee was about the positioning of the throw-in. He | :09:25. | :09:29. | |
hasn't been sent up into the stand, he's been sent several rows further | :09:30. | :09:35. | |
back from the touchline, Mourinho. Still Cardiff pressing. Whittingham | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
is coming in from this side... Good recovery by Ivanovic. This is Kim, | :09:43. | :09:53. | |
he didn't miss by much. He has certainly brought new life to the | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
Cardiff attack in this second-half. There is still quite a long going | :09:57. | :10:03. | |
down by the Chelsea bench. I don't know whether Mourinho has had to | :10:04. | :10:04. | |
move further back. This is Oscar. Oh, he's got it! Well, you are | :10:05. | :10:17. | |
tempted to say it's a goal that would have won a prize. Scored by | :10:18. | :10:22. | |
Oscar. It's probably the one that puts Chelsea beyond Cardiff City in | :10:23. | :10:27. | |
this game. There are 12 minutes to go. The little Brazilian, who is | :10:28. | :10:33. | |
Chelsea's top-scorer this season, picks one out here. It swerves and | :10:34. | :10:40. | |
it's got power as well. David Marshall, unable to get hands to | :10:41. | :10:42. | |
that. Chelsea 3, Cardiff City 1. They might get punished again. This | :10:43. | :10:58. | |
is Hazard. Oscar to his left. Willian here, hits the goalkeeper. | :10:59. | :11:04. | |
Should probably have done better. Willian could have added to the goal | :11:05. | :11:11. | |
he scored at Norwich. He put that one too near to the goalkeeper. This | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
is Hazard. Torres is going to the near-post. Willian is further over. | :11:17. | :11:24. | |
Oh, he didn't need them. Super goal by Hazard. | :11:25. | :11:27. | |
He started out, out on the left wing. Took on the first man and then | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
just drove it underneath the goalkeeper. Two goals in four | :11:36. | :11:41. | |
minutes. It's Hazard's second of the afternoon. Where is the manager, why | :11:42. | :11:49. | |
is he so upset? I think it's simple it all boreded around one thing | :11:50. | :11:56. | |
really that the time wasting from the first minute. They took a long | :11:57. | :11:59. | |
time to take every dead ball, whether it was a corner, free-kick | :12:00. | :12:05. | |
and we had mentioned it to the fourth official politely and | :12:06. | :12:08. | |
mentioned it to the referee politely. It was a consistent theme | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
throughout the half. It was a deliberate ploy to break up the | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
game. We understand that. I think Ivanovic had the ball in his hands | :12:16. | :12:21. | |
for two seconds and already the referee was putting pressure on him | :12:22. | :12:25. | |
to get the ball into play. Which is why we were all, Jose Mourinho is | :12:26. | :12:31. | |
the manager on the touchline, was furious. Chelsea equaliser, talk us | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
through it, so many questions have been raised by it? At the time it | :12:36. | :12:39. | |
happened so quickly I didn't see it. I have been in to see the referee | :12:40. | :12:43. | |
for the clarification of what him and the linesman saw. Our goalkeeper | :12:44. | :12:48. | |
bounced the ball. He saw the player standing there. The referee saying | :12:49. | :12:53. | |
at the time he heard from his linesman that he dropped the ball. I | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
asked for clarification of the rule. He said if the goalkeeper bounced | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
the ball it was a foul. I looked at it again, he bounced the ball. He | :13:04. | :13:08. | |
knew Eto'o was standing there. That is one that has been a huge mistake. | :13:09. | :13:12. | |
We had better get straight to that. It was the defining moment of the | :13:13. | :13:18. | |
game. He is right with the law. The score is 1-0 at the time. This is a | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
minute before it. Lampard over the top. Marshall comes out, from that | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
angle it looks as though they might just be inside his yard box. From | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
that angle, he has taken a chance here. He might have been sent off | :13:31. | :13:35. | |
before the incident happened. He is absolutely right. The law is simple. | :13:36. | :13:38. | |
Even though, you can see the referee there. He might turn his head and | :13:39. | :13:43. | |
look away which is why he think the goalkeeper might have dropped it. | :13:44. | :13:47. | |
The law is simple, even though the goalkeeper is bouncing the ball, he | :13:48. | :13:50. | |
is still deemed to have under control and possession of it. It's a | :13:51. | :13:55. | |
indirect free-kick to Cardiff. Why on earth the linesman or the | :13:56. | :13:59. | |
official hasn't seen that or spotted that is beyond me. It could even | :14:00. | :14:03. | |
still give offside. Hazard touches it. Hits it there. It touches Eto'o | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
there. He is in offside position also. Bad day for the officials. | :14:09. | :14:16. | |
Chelsea ran out easy winners in the end but this is sensational. A great | :14:17. | :14:23. | |
goal. They ran out easy winners but it was 1-0 at the time when the | :14:24. | :14:27. | |
referee gave the bad decision. You are focusing on an individual, David | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
Luiz. It is fair to say you are not really a fan? | :14:32. | :14:34. | |
I think he is a wonderful football. Every time I see him I think | :14:35. | :14:42. | |
casual, takes too many chances and there is always a mistake and there | :14:43. | :14:47. | |
aren't today, he didn't let me down because casual at all times. The | :14:48. | :14:50. | |
first one, he makes a rash challenge. | :14:51. | :14:56. | |
Everyone can make a rash challenge, a bad decision, but you have to | :14:57. | :15:01. | |
learn from your bad decisions and I don't think he does. This is | :15:02. | :15:04. | |
unbelievably casual, the hook here, he has had it across the pitch. The | :15:05. | :15:09. | |
next one coming up is even worse. What is all that about? Cardiff back | :15:10. | :15:15. | |
in attack. The Mutch goal, you have never seen anything like it. What is | :15:16. | :15:20. | |
he doing? If you look at the facials, Mutch comes past him, he | :15:21. | :15:27. | |
doesn't attempt to block him. He would have to be on this programme | :15:28. | :15:30. | |
to tell me exactly what he was thinking about there. Does he think | :15:31. | :15:34. | |
that is going to run through? Does he misjudge it? He must feel that, | :15:35. | :15:41. | |
surely. It doesn't look like it. Cech is 15 yards away from the | :15:42. | :15:45. | |
Mormon Mutch hits it in the back of the net and I think he's a lovely | :15:46. | :15:51. | |
ability. -- he is a liability. Mourinho getting sent off, there is | :15:52. | :15:58. | |
a weight tweet from a Chelsea fan -- there is a great tweet. He is sat | :15:59. | :16:03. | |
next to him, oh, my God, Mourinho is sitting next to me. A bit negative | :16:04. | :16:07. | |
on Chelsea, winning the game comfortably. They are making | :16:08. | :16:12. | |
strides. They are back in business. Look at the personnel they played | :16:13. | :16:15. | |
today, the personal they left out. They will be there or thereabouts. | :16:16. | :16:19. | |
If ever there was a game that guaranteed goals it was Newcastle | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
against Liverpool, easy to say I suppose when you know the score. | :16:24. | :16:26. | |
There hasn't been a goalless draw between these two sides since 1974. | :16:27. | :16:32. | |
Keeping count at St James' Park was Guy Mowbray. | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
Steven Gerrard needs one more goal to Richard Premier League century. | :16:38. | :16:43. | |
Chances enhanced today by the presence of the Premier League's top | :16:44. | :16:47. | |
two scorers this season, Loic Remy has five and that is a total only | :16:48. | :16:53. | |
bettered by Daniel Sturridge's six and he has scored the last three | :16:54. | :17:00. | |
times he has played here. It has all been very edgy, so far. | :17:01. | :17:13. | |
Liverpool corner. The last time Liverpool were here in April it was | :17:14. | :17:21. | |
the Magpies' heaviest home defeat since 1925. | :17:22. | :17:27. | |
Gerrard with the Liverpool corner. Was it going in from Suarez? It was | :17:28. | :17:35. | |
all on his own to head towards goal. It is a good job Santon was on the | :17:36. | :17:40. | |
post. It was going wide. Santon could not be sure. Alan Pardew's | :17:41. | :17:48. | |
first game in charge of Newcastle was a 3-1 win against Liverpool in | :17:49. | :17:49. | |
December 2010. Cabaye has gone for goal, what a | :17:50. | :18:05. | |
goal! What a goal! Well, it hardly looks on! But Cabaye was sure, as | :18:06. | :18:11. | |
soon as he got the ball on his feet. Look how far out he is. | :18:12. | :18:24. | |
He has got that's just right, a cracker from Cabaye. Newcastle | :18:25. | :18:34. | |
United one, Liverpool nil. His second Newcastle goal of the season. | :18:35. | :18:38. | |
He was on target for France during the international period as well, | :18:39. | :18:41. | |
scored in the 6-0 thrashing of Australia. | :18:42. | :19:02. | |
Last November at Anfield, Cabaye open the scoring and Newcastle's | :19:03. | :19:09. | |
lead lasted less than four minutes before Luis Suarez equalised. | :19:10. | :19:18. | |
A chance, but it has gone. Awkward for him, he had to generate accuracy | :19:19. | :19:30. | |
and power. He got the power but lacked the accuracy by a distance. | :19:31. | :19:38. | |
Suarez down, under pressure from Debuchy. | :19:39. | :19:49. | |
Sissoko has a go, stings the hands of Mignolet. It might just have | :19:50. | :19:55. | |
snuck inside the post, Mignolet had to get there. | :19:56. | :20:06. | |
Suarez went for goal, Moses wanted it over on the far side. A good | :20:07. | :20:13. | |
block by Krul. You could tell by the way he saved it there was plenty of | :20:14. | :20:18. | |
pace in that effort from Suarez. A reminder to Newcastle, as if they | :20:19. | :20:23. | |
needed it, that when Liverpool break they will be dangerous. Like now. | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
That could be double trouble. Yanga-Mbiwa, Andrew Marriner is | :20:30. | :20:37. | |
going straight to his pocket here. He is going to go here, he is going | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
to go. Pulis saying offside, the red card is already out. They are down | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
to ten. As soon as Yanga-Mbiwa what's his arm on the shoulder like | :20:50. | :20:54. | |
that, it is a foul, it is a penalty and with Suarez in on goal it has to | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
be a red card. This is his chance to score his | :20:58. | :21:17. | |
100th Premier League goal, 100 Premier League goals for Liverpool. | :21:18. | :21:21. | |
Eight of the 100 have come against Newcastle United. He has only scored | :21:22. | :21:25. | |
more against Aston Villa. This is a real game changer. Not quite totally | :21:26. | :21:30. | |
in the corner but accurate enough and powerful enough to beat Tim | :21:31. | :21:33. | |
Krul, who went the right way, but in vain. | :21:34. | :21:44. | |
Newcastle United are going to make a change in the wake of the red card | :21:45. | :21:51. | |
shown to Yanga-Mbiwa. Paul Dummett coming on, a big task for him, only | :21:52. | :21:54. | |
his second appearance in the Premier League. | :21:55. | :22:02. | |
Johnson has gone for goal. Tim Krul got down sharply. | :22:03. | :22:15. | |
That will be a Newcastle free kick. The cheers from the stands were | :22:16. | :22:24. | |
laden with sarcasm. I wonder if Alan Pardew's smile was of a similar | :22:25. | :22:33. | |
nature. Oh, it came for Dummett! Incredible! Paul Dummett, on as a | :22:34. | :22:36. | |
substitute, to score his first Newcastle goal. The ten men in | :22:37. | :22:42. | |
front. Newcastle have to make the most of set pieces in their | :22:43. | :22:44. | |
predicament. I am not sure anybody else touched | :22:45. | :23:00. | |
it. A lovely finish from the young defender. You castle United two, | :23:01. | :23:08. | |
Liverpool one dashed -- Newcastle United two, Liverpool one. | :23:09. | :23:19. | |
You can feel all Newcastle hearts beating now. A little bit of extra | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
adrenaline, a little bit more belief. Still so much time left in | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
the game. You know Liverpool will have at least one golden chance | :23:32. | :23:32. | |
before the end. The golden chance came | :23:33. | :23:43. | |
straightaway. SAS combines once more, Suarez and Sturridge. A lovely | :23:44. | :23:52. | |
ball from Moses to Suarez. On a plate for Daniel Sturridge's ninth | :23:53. | :23:55. | |
goal of the season, up seven in the Premier League. | :23:56. | :24:07. | |
All is well in Sturridge's world, things are brighter for Liverpool. | :24:08. | :24:14. | |
Just the one point will take them for it -- will take them for at | :24:15. | :24:18. | |
least two hours to the top of the Premier League table. They want | :24:19. | :24:21. | |
three. That is Suarez. Too much on it. That looked like potentially the | :24:22. | :24:28. | |
winning goal of the game for all the world. It has come to the right man. | :24:29. | :24:32. | |
He is ready for it and it has hit the bar. It was close, mightily so. | :24:33. | :24:43. | |
We might yet have a dramatic ending to the story. Liverpool free kick it | :24:44. | :24:55. | |
is not over yet. It is just outside, it is the right call. Such drama, | :24:56. | :25:02. | |
meetings of these teams have given us in the Premier League era. Luis | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
Suarez does drama very well indeed. Suarez, beaten away by Tim Krul. | :25:09. | :25:12. | |
Newcastle United have hung on. This fixture just never disappoints us. | :25:13. | :25:18. | |
What a game. Honours even, Newcastle United two, Liverpool two. | :25:19. | :25:24. | |
At the opening of the game we were matching them, if not just shading | :25:25. | :25:29. | |
it. We had got the goal and I was pleased with that because it was a | :25:30. | :25:33. | |
good indicator for us, today's game. Then we get a guy sent off and we | :25:34. | :25:37. | |
have no qualms about that. Perhaps he has to go. We had to show the | :25:38. | :25:41. | |
other side and that is the question about this team, the resilience and | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
the character in it and we showed last week at Cardiff and we have | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
showed it even more so today with ten men. That was a very good game | :25:50. | :25:53. | |
and one that we are disappointed to get the three points, not together | :25:54. | :25:59. | |
three points, it has been difficult with the players coming back from an | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
international. To show the character we have done, some of our play was | :26:05. | :26:09. | |
outstanding today. Every boy in this area wants to play for Newcastle | :26:10. | :26:12. | |
United and score goals. It is something no one can take away from | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
me. I don't know what I do when I score, it was crazy. I have been | :26:17. | :26:21. | |
thinking for a while about the 100 goals, so it is nice to score today. | :26:22. | :26:25. | |
I would have liked it to come in general play but I will take a | :26:26. | :26:28. | |
penalty. It is nice to get goals but I feel disappointed we have missed | :26:29. | :26:32. | |
the opportunity to take three points. Missed out three points but | :26:33. | :26:36. | |
what a record, what a player over so many years, 100 goals, | :26:37. | :26:41. | |
congratulations. A brilliant game, entertaining game, end-to-end. I | :26:42. | :26:45. | |
suppose it was another defining moment in many ways, the sending | :26:46. | :26:54. | |
off. It was ironic because Newcastle defensively had done so well until | :26:55. | :26:55. | |
that stage. Suarez, a bit of movement there, the | :26:56. | :27:07. | |
defender comes in and has no chance. He is carrying an injury, if you | :27:08. | :27:10. | |
watch him he is the one who plays Suarez onside. It is a lovely ball, | :27:11. | :27:19. | |
a lovely run. What Suarez does very cleverly is get his first touch | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
right and get his body across him, so he has to foul him. It is canny, | :27:24. | :27:30. | |
isn't it? It is good centre forward play. Skrtel gets the attack in but | :27:31. | :27:36. | |
he has to use his body. He has to get the ball away from Skrtel and | :27:37. | :27:39. | |
get his body across him and if he does try to tackle him, as he does, | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
he has to foul him and bring him down. Look at Suarez, the last | :27:44. | :27:47. | |
minute of the game, talk about using your body. Clever centre forward | :27:48. | :27:50. | |
play. Debuchy is getting a tackling and if he is going to hit the ball | :27:51. | :27:55. | |
and take him out first, it was a foul. Good play. He was terrific in | :27:56. | :28:02. | |
the match, Suarez. Wonderful. Newcastle got hammered six by | :28:03. | :28:05. | |
Liverpool not that long ago. They were significantly better. I thought | :28:06. | :28:08. | |
Newcastle defensively were magnificent. When they went to ten | :28:09. | :28:15. | |
men. This was last year's 6-0, shambolic, left so much space | :28:16. | :28:19. | |
behind. The worst thing you can happen is if you put virtually walk | :28:20. | :28:22. | |
the ball into the back of the net. This time, they are pushing up, | :28:23. | :28:26. | |
trying to hold the line, getting it totally wrong, loads of space, | :28:27. | :28:32. | |
Gerrard over the top. Oh -- oceans of space. Today, they did not see | :28:33. | :28:38. | |
that at all. What was the difference? They defended deeper, | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
they were organised, they defended the sanctuaries. When they got it | :28:43. | :28:45. | |
they picked it up and played it and to be fair they limited Liverpool to | :28:46. | :28:52. | |
only one or two very good chances and this was it, the same sort of | :28:53. | :28:56. | |
thing. Men behind the ball, no space in behind. Then -- than what was | :28:57. | :29:02. | |
impressive as when they did get men behind the ball and they got it they | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
broke with great conviction. This is Remy and Liverpool Street wing back, | :29:09. | :29:11. | |
four or five to try to get back there. Newcastle have one or two | :29:12. | :29:16. | |
good opportunities but tactically, very astute, Pardew today. 28% | :29:17. | :29:22. | |
possession in the second half. With ten men, Paul Dummett? Into | :29:23. | :29:31. | |
brilliant. Local lad coming through. His movement here is brilliant. He | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
runs away from everyone. Comes at the far-post. No-one follows him. I | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
hate doing this. Cardinal sin. Get your hand up and look across to the | :29:43. | :29:49. | |
linesman. You hate that, don't you? The thing about that is, if he | :29:50. | :29:54. | |
doesn't do that... Don't spoil his day. He had a fantastic day. He | :29:55. | :29:59. | |
scored. Why do you have to pick that out for him for? That's him. Wait | :30:00. | :30:05. | |
him. I was down to do the first bit as well, he stole it off me. | :30:06. | :30:10. | |
That point in the day's early game took Liverpool ahead of Arsenal to | :30:11. | :30:15. | |
the top of the table. To regain their place at the summit, | :30:16. | :30:19. | |
the Gunners needed points against a Norwich side who have kept more | :30:20. | :30:22. | |
cleansheets in the league this season than Arsenal, significantly | :30:23. | :30:24. | |
less points though. Jonathan Pearce was at the Emirates. | :30:25. | :30:27. | |
Arsenal fans have been waiting for this. Mesut Ozil is fit. He plays | :30:28. | :30:35. | |
alongside Cazorla for the first time. He has returned from his ankle | :30:36. | :30:44. | |
problem. Ramsey is rested on the bench. . Norwich's last away win at | :30:45. | :31:03. | |
Arsenal came 21 years ago. Hooper makes his league debut. | :31:04. | :31:19. | |
Such balance. Wilshere. Cazorla checks back. Saved well by John | :31:20. | :31:31. | |
Ruddy. Very comfortable save. Unbeaten in six league games | :31:32. | :31:47. | |
Arsenal. Norwich have only one-two of their last 11 away games. Three | :31:48. | :31:52. | |
away wins in 22. Wilshere. Oh, that is simply | :31:53. | :32:23. | |
magnificent. What a move. It really is such a simple game and such an | :32:24. | :32:37. | |
ex-quiz it game when simple football is | :32:38. | :32:38. | |
Wilshere is onside. Magnificent. Really, lovely approach football. | :32:39. | :32:54. | |
Beautiful goal. Finished succinctly. Arsenal ahead, with one of the best | :32:55. | :32:56. | |
team goals of the season so far. A clash there. Flamini, oh, a | :32:57. | :33:21. | |
jarring coalition. -- collision. Flamini, he doesn't look right to | :33:22. | :33:29. | |
me, since his head injury. Gibbs has won it back. It's Giroud. A very | :33:30. | :33:36. | |
good piece of goal keeping. That's a top-notch save. That's an excellent | :33:37. | :33:40. | |
save. Norwich suddenly seeing plenty of | :33:41. | :33:48. | |
the ball. Howson, round the corner, gets the return. | :33:49. | :33:52. | |
They got the shot away. That is very good goal keeping. Dipping just in | :33:53. | :34:02. | |
front of him. 6 foot 5 inch Polish keeper had to stretch there. | :34:03. | :34:09. | |
Norwich are playing their football far too deep. Arsenal now seem to be | :34:10. | :34:19. | |
playing too deep. Hesitation from Gibbs Snodgrass got his shot away. | :34:20. | :34:27. | |
Norwich on top at the moment. Arsenal making hard work of this. | :34:28. | :34:33. | |
The strongest international players at the moment are those who played | :34:34. | :34:38. | |
limited international action. Here is Cazorla, Giroud. Ozil, brilliant! | :34:39. | :34:46. | |
They have been under the kosh. Arsenal came out and scored a really | :34:47. | :34:55. | |
good goal. Super chip in. Ozil guided in a | :34:56. | :35:14. | |
really accurate header. Giroud, lovely ball, quality delivery. | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
Arsenal two, Norwich nil. Not a great clearance. Howson. | :35:20. | :35:35. | |
Norwich are back in the game. Poor clearance by Mertesacker. | :35:36. | :35:42. | |
Mertesacker angled it straight into his path. One touch and then, bang, | :35:43. | :35:49. | |
scored the winner at Stoke. Scored goals at the tail end of last | :35:50. | :35:54. | |
season. That is a very good strike. 2-1, game on. There could yet be a | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
sting in the tail of this game. Ramsey. Arsenal have got back on top | :35:59. | :36:19. | |
again. He quickly pushes it away, powerfully. | :36:20. | :36:28. | |
Wilshere, little chip in at the middle. Handle ball there by Turner, | :36:29. | :36:41. | |
Gibbs thought so. Ramsey did so well under pressure. Wilshere thought | :36:42. | :36:45. | |
about the cross. Ramsey wants it played to feet. Ramsey, lovely | :36:46. | :36:51. | |
stuff, Aaron Ramsey, brilliant stuff. Brilliant. Left on the subs | :36:52. | :37:00. | |
bench by a manager who is all smiles and gives him the thumbs up. 11 | :37:01. | :37:04. | |
goals for club and country this season for the Welshman, nine for | :37:05. | :37:09. | |
Arsenal. What a week it's been. Scored against Belgium for Wales | :37:10. | :37:16. | |
and, surely now, clinches Arsenal's victory. He shifts it back on to his | :37:17. | :37:21. | |
right, cracks it past a goalkeeper who has been in fine form. The | :37:22. | :37:27. | |
Manager of the Month smiles at the Player of the Month. | :37:28. | :37:35. | |
Oh, this would gap it -- cap it all if he could get one. Wilshere | :37:36. | :37:45. | |
offside. Norwich have come out. Round the back. Ozil. Another | :37:46. | :37:50. | |
beautifully worked goal. Some of the team work by Arsenal today has been | :37:51. | :37:57. | |
fabulous. Ozil has two, Arsenal have four. Lovely ball by Rosicky. | :37:58. | :38:16. | |
Arsenal four, Norwich one. They stay top of the Premier League with | :38:17. | :38:20. | |
superb finishing, wonderful team work, some great style and | :38:21. | :38:23. | |
technique. Norwich had their moments, but Arsenal ultimately | :38:24. | :38:26. | |
outclassed them. A few weeks ago we lost our first | :38:27. | :38:34. | |
home game here and it was a very difficult time, but we responded | :38:35. | :38:40. | |
quickly and well and since we have been consistent. I like the | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
solidarity level we have in the team. Of course, we know we have | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
quality, but it's now how much can we maintain that, sustain that | :38:49. | :38:53. | |
effort to play together at that level. That will decide our future. | :38:54. | :38:59. | |
At 2-12 it looked like we could get something from the game. Have you to | :39:00. | :39:03. | |
make decisions. At that stage it is either you settle for what you've | :39:04. | :39:07. | |
got or you endeavour to try and get back in the game. We changed it a | :39:08. | :39:11. | |
little bit. They finished quite strong. We are confident we want to | :39:12. | :39:15. | |
play in the opposition's final third. We did that well today. We | :39:16. | :39:19. | |
have to be patient sometimes. They blocked us and played well. We got | :39:20. | :39:23. | |
the goals. Thankfully, we got the win. Nothing negative to report | :39:24. | :39:27. | |
here, I suspect. Arsenal played wonderful football, they were breath | :39:28. | :39:32. | |
taking. Impossible to be negative about that performance. It was a | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
remarkable performance, stunning goals. For Arsenal the first game of | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
the season it was a shambles they have an embarrassment of riches. He | :39:42. | :39:45. | |
has the lovely problem of who he will pick and who he is going to | :39:46. | :39:50. | |
leave out. You have the goalkeeper, back four, girp girl through the | :39:51. | :39:54. | |
front, you have the one-off with Ozil, that is fine. Then you have | :39:55. | :39:58. | |
three. I would imagine when Walcott comes back he will be in, he gives | :39:59. | :40:02. | |
them something different with his pace, then have you two. Cazorla, | :40:03. | :40:08. | |
Wilshere, Arttea, Oxlade-Chamberlain, the person at | :40:09. | :40:10. | |
the start of the season you thought would never be part of this equation | :40:11. | :40:15. | |
would be Aaron Ramsey. Sensational, isn't he? He came off the bench | :40:16. | :40:21. | |
today, I mean this is the cutback for Ozil. Timed to perfection there. | :40:22. | :40:28. | |
What about this? This is like zeal sdan. Unbelievable. Technique is | :40:29. | :40:35. | |
just brilliant. Looks so comfortable on the ball. So much confidence. | :40:36. | :40:40. | |
Look at this. Everything he is trying he coming off. The goal is | :40:41. | :40:44. | |
absolutely sensational as well. I mean, he has so much confidence. He | :40:45. | :40:49. | |
obviously has half a yard of pace. He's got the strength to go with it. | :40:50. | :40:55. | |
He has always had the technique. Wilshere picks it up. A great first | :40:56. | :41:01. | |
touch. Then he just sells them dummy after dummy after dummy. He | :41:02. | :41:05. | |
despatches it in the back of the net. But, to beat that... How good | :41:06. | :41:15. | |
is this goal? Wilshere, you know, he played against West Brom on the left | :41:16. | :41:21. | |
he was really poor. When he is driving forward this is what he is | :41:22. | :41:25. | |
capable of doing. Goal of the season, you are watching it. | :41:26. | :41:31. | |
Unbelievable good. Arsenal win the league? Ask me in six games and I | :41:32. | :41:35. | |
will tell you. Now? I will not change my mind. I will say Chelsea | :41:36. | :41:40. | |
will still win it. Been hugely impress windows them. I will say, | :41:41. | :41:47. | |
no. We've already seen three great games | :41:48. | :41:48. | |
and we've still got five to go. Southampton have taken just one | :41:49. | :42:11. | |
point in 14 games from Manchester United, but arrived at Old Trafford | :42:12. | :42:14. | |
in fourth place, four points ahead of their opponents and boasting the | :42:15. | :42:16. | |
league's meanest defence. Steve Wilson saw this one. | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
The news that Januzaj has signed a five-year contract with Manchester | :42:24. | :42:29. | |
United gives them a boost before kick-off. He is about the most | :42:30. | :42:33. | |
talked about teenager in the game and simply could not be left out | :42:34. | :42:38. | |
after his fireworks at Sunderland. Rickie Lambert has been left out, on | :42:39. | :42:48. | |
the bench. Osvaldo plays for Southampton. | :42:49. | :42:53. | |
Van Persie. His first touch, nice one too. Interchange with Rooney, | :42:54. | :43:02. | |
finds Nani. Here is van Persie. The little toe was a good one from Fon | :43:03. | :43:15. | |
Ted te. They thought rch Rodriguez was fouled. Brilliant from van | :43:16. | :43:21. | |
Persie. Look at van Persie here, great invention. | :43:22. | :43:30. | |
Nani. He pulls it back for van Persie. Great save by Boruc. Good | :43:31. | :43:39. | |
football by Manchester United. Nani here got into a great position. Teed | :43:40. | :43:47. | |
up van Persie. There he is, Sir Alex Fergusson, alongside David Gill, | :43:48. | :43:54. | |
both missed, as inevitably is going to be the case after such a long | :43:55. | :43:56. | |
time. The Blackshirts are pressurising | :43:57. | :44:06. | |
everything. Osvaldo can't get away from Carrick. But there is no time | :44:07. | :44:12. | |
to dwell on the ball for United at the back. Offside, Van Persie. That | :44:13. | :44:20. | |
looked tight. It is tight. But it is right. | :44:21. | :44:31. | |
Fellaini is playing in the deep defensive midfield role. Osvaldo did | :44:32. | :44:38. | |
not test it as much as he should have done. That is a golden chance | :44:39. | :44:41. | |
for Southampton and it all started when raw wrecks when Wayne Rooney | :44:42. | :44:46. | |
lost the ball. Control lets him down. Osvaldo will know he has just | :44:47. | :44:53. | |
had the best chance of the game so far. | :44:54. | :45:03. | |
A great ball in, the offside flag is up. A lovely ball in from Januzaj. | :45:04. | :45:09. | |
He is offside. Van Persie, following up, and | :45:10. | :45:32. | |
scores. Robin Van Persie for Manchester United. At the third time | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
of asking, they did and Pixar offside trap. -- they picked the | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
offside trap. That is Lovren and he steers it to | :45:44. | :46:03. | |
the far. Manchester United lead. Rooney, allowed to turn and hit the | :46:04. | :46:22. | |
bar. Well, Rooney here within an ace of making it two. | :46:23. | :46:41. | |
Fonte wondered where his man had gone. | :46:42. | :46:53. | |
Rooney could not divert it goalwards. Schneiderlin was there. | :46:54. | :47:01. | |
It is a corner. A great overlap from Evra. Good defending from | :47:02. | :47:03. | |
Schneiderlin. Rooney with a corner kick for | :47:04. | :47:13. | |
Manchester United and off the bar, Van Persie. | :47:14. | :47:18. | |
And as a corner. Twice now Manchester United have hit the bar. | :47:19. | :47:27. | |
Robin Van Persie this time. Southampton indebted to Artur Boruc, | :47:28. | :47:30. | |
with the save from the follow-up. Another Rooney corner. | :47:31. | :47:45. | |
A tremendous save by Boruc and a miss by Fellaini. That was almost | :47:46. | :47:55. | |
passed Boruc from Januzaj. Talk about strong wrists in a goalkeeper, | :47:56. | :47:58. | |
how about this from Artur Boruc? This could have been a second. | :47:59. | :48:17. | |
Welbeck definitely had the legs to beat Schneiderlin, but what a great | :48:18. | :48:19. | |
slide from Schneiderlin. Can Clyne finish? A good save by De | :48:20. | :48:55. | |
Gea. Well worked, Southampton, a good stop by De Gea. He has had | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
precious little to do come in all honesty, during the game. | :49:00. | :49:05. | |
It is a corner to Southampton. There are two and a half minutes to go. He | :49:06. | :49:15. | |
looks like a man who is ready to spring up in celebration, Mauricio | :49:16. | :49:21. | |
Pochettino. We shall see. Ward-Prowse with the corner, Lovren | :49:22. | :49:28. | |
has equalised! With barely 90 seconds to play. Southampton have | :49:29. | :49:34. | |
still a point, surely, from Old Trafford. -- stolen a point. | :49:35. | :49:48. | |
Manchester United will be devastated. I think Adam Lallana, | :49:49. | :49:53. | |
standing right in front of the goalkeeper, might get a claim on | :49:54. | :49:56. | |
that. It just brushed against his calf. | :49:57. | :50:00. | |
You have scored at Anfield, have used go. Old Trafford or not? I | :50:01. | :50:07. | |
don't know. Really, I don't care. The most important thing is the one | :50:08. | :50:12. | |
point. Apologist Lovren but it definitely came off my knee. It went | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
through my legs. It doesn't matter, it is a great point for us. | :50:16. | :50:22. | |
Transition macro I will give 50% to Lallana and 50% to Lovren, they both | :50:23. | :50:27. | |
deserve it. There were periods where we were not so good and while we | :50:28. | :50:32. | |
were like that there was always a chance Southampton could create | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
something but the moments we had, if we had just got the second goal we | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
would have put it to bed. 1-0 with a dangerous result. On another day we | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
would have got one or two more but the way things are going at the | :50:46. | :50:49. | |
moment it is not falling for us. We have to stand up, improve and get | :50:50. | :50:53. | |
better and turn the corner. Things appear to be very different this | :50:54. | :50:58. | |
season. It is perhaps reflected by the variances performances of these | :50:59. | :51:01. | |
two sides. In particular Southampton, the best defensive | :51:02. | :51:04. | |
record in the league and how many goals have they conceded? Three | :51:05. | :51:08. | |
goals, this time after -- this time last year after eight games, 24. We | :51:09. | :51:15. | |
saw glimpses of it last year when Pochettino was playing how they were | :51:16. | :51:18. | |
playing but he has taken them to another level this year. Brought in | :51:19. | :51:24. | |
three big players, Osvaldo, Wanyama oh -- Wanyama and Lovren. | :51:25. | :51:31. | |
They are committing players forward, four or five players in the box. | :51:32. | :51:35. | |
They are comfortable on the ball, they know their game inside out, | :51:36. | :51:39. | |
into Lallana. The most important thing, the thing where they are | :51:40. | :51:43. | |
getting better, is the commitment going forward there and the reaction | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
here when they actually lose the ball. Within a second, because they | :51:47. | :51:51. | |
have that many bodies forward, they win the ball back. Shaw wins it back | :51:52. | :51:55. | |
and they are back on the attack again. This time without the ball, | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
look at them pressing really, really high. Wanyama is in there. Osvaldo | :52:00. | :52:04. | |
is in there. Davis is closing down and there is no time for United on | :52:05. | :52:08. | |
the ball. Clyne goes in there. They win the ball back over this time on | :52:09. | :52:13. | |
the halfway line. It is brilliant. They are working so, so hard without | :52:14. | :52:17. | |
the ball consistently doing it. It is a great theme of their game. They | :52:18. | :52:23. | |
play a high line, it is a risky game but they get it right and they are | :52:24. | :52:27. | |
good at it. All in a line, Van Persie makes the run, offside, a | :52:28. | :52:34. | |
lovely ball of Januzaj. They do it so often it is risky and they will | :52:35. | :52:38. | |
get caught, whether it is right or wrong, a poor decision, probably | :52:39. | :52:42. | |
half a yard offside, Rooney. He should actually finish it off. But | :52:43. | :52:48. | |
it falls nice to Van Persie. I spoke earlier about getting the bodies in | :52:49. | :52:51. | |
the box early in the game. This is late in the game, albeit when they | :52:52. | :52:54. | |
are chasing it. Nine guys were tracking that ball. It. Lovren, he | :52:55. | :53:01. | |
breaks away from Evans, poor marking. It touches Lallana in front | :53:02. | :53:04. | |
of De Gea. It is what Southampton deserved. That is the last two | :53:05. | :53:09. | |
minutes. They are still not content, still committing men forward in the | :53:10. | :53:12. | |
last minute of the game, trying to win the game. They will upset a few | :53:13. | :53:17. | |
teams this season, Southampton. I think they will be in the top seven | :53:18. | :53:21. | |
or eight. United in trouble? Are we at crisis point? They say you can't | :53:22. | :53:27. | |
win it in the first ten games, but you can lose it. If they have | :53:28. | :53:30. | |
another bad result they are out of the Championship race. Is it a 30 | :53:31. | :53:37. | |
factor? It is no worse than the first ten games last season, it | :53:38. | :53:41. | |
probably is the Fergie factor. It has been an inconsistent start for | :53:42. | :53:45. | |
Manchester City on top scorers in the Premier League but yet to win | :53:46. | :53:48. | |
away from home. They travelled to face West Ham side buoyed by their | :53:49. | :53:52. | |
trouncing of Tottenham last week. Watching at Upton was Simon | :53:53. | :53:53. | |
Brotherton. West Ham United are unchanged after | :53:54. | :54:04. | |
their 3-0 win. Manchester City make five changes, Kompany is injured | :54:05. | :54:10. | |
soap Garcia and Nastasic play in central defence with Clichy and | :54:11. | :54:15. | |
Richards in for his first Premier League appearance of the season at | :54:16. | :54:18. | |
fullback and Samir Nasri in midfield. | :54:19. | :54:27. | |
Vaz Te was waiting at the centre and Hart was there first. Sam Allardyce | :54:28. | :54:36. | |
rang the changes for the game at White Hart Lane last time out with | :54:37. | :54:40. | |
four at the back and six in midfield, no recognised strikers and | :54:41. | :54:43. | |
he has gone with the same formation here today. | :54:44. | :54:52. | |
Strong defending by Winston Reid macro and it needed to be. -- by | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
Winston Reid, and it needed to be. I great chance for Aguero, 1-0 | :54:59. | :55:12. | |
Manchester City. Everybody stopped apart from the city striker. 15 | :55:13. | :55:19. | |
minutes in and Sergio Aguero was given a gift of a chance and he does | :55:20. | :55:23. | |
not tend to miss opportunities like that. | :55:24. | :55:34. | |
Manchester City make the start they were looking for as they search for | :55:35. | :55:39. | |
their first away win of the season. Aguero could go all the way here, | :55:40. | :55:53. | |
blocked by the keeper. It did not quite fall for David Silva. It was | :55:54. | :55:56. | |
only three yards out. Aguero had support. Nearly went all the way of | :55:57. | :56:01. | |
the angle started to close and it did not quite fall for David Silva. | :56:02. | :56:07. | |
The first of four matches in a way -- four matches away from home for | :56:08. | :56:13. | |
Pellegrini's side, next is the AKA -- next is CSKA Moscow. | :56:14. | :56:23. | |
Winston Reid could have paid a heavy price in giving the ball away here, | :56:24. | :56:31. | |
Silva picking out Yaya Toure. Beaten away by Jaaskelainen. | :56:32. | :56:46. | |
He was muscled out of it a little too enthusiastically. Away from Reid | :56:47. | :56:53. | |
the first time and caught the sandwich between Reid. It is 2-0. | :56:54. | :57:04. | |
Aguero celebrates his second goal of the match. The player who was fouled | :57:05. | :57:11. | |
for the free kick finishes off the job. The ball came in completely | :57:12. | :57:17. | |
unmarked. Manchester City's leaders doubled and West Ham's troubles on | :57:18. | :57:18. | |
the night deepened. Sam Allardyce's expression and body | :57:19. | :57:31. | |
language tell you all you need to know about what he thinks of that | :57:32. | :57:36. | |
goal. There is an urgency about West Ham, as there has to be. They have | :57:37. | :57:40. | |
yet to test Joe Hart really at all in the Manchester City goal. | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
The deflection off Nolan is over the top. First, the ball in towards | :57:46. | :57:55. | |
Diame, smothered by Hart. Garcia going to ground as he hooked the | :57:56. | :57:59. | |
ball clear and the deflection of the shins of Nolan. West Ham are looking | :58:00. | :58:03. | |
livelier. What a strike from Ricardo Vaz Te! | :58:04. | :58:38. | |
West Ham have got a goal! We have got over half an hour to go. They | :58:39. | :58:42. | |
have been looking livelier for a few minutes now. Having fallen two goals | :58:43. | :58:49. | |
down, it hung in the air, Downing knocked it back in. Ricardo Vaz Te | :58:50. | :58:57. | |
was onside and as the ball dropped it was a spectacular finish. West | :58:58. | :59:02. | |
Ham have given themselves a chance here. | :59:03. | :59:08. | |
It could be a chance! City responding straightaway, having | :59:09. | :59:22. | |
conceded. The great ill almost taking it. -- Negredo. | :59:23. | :59:38. | |
David Silva to make it three, and he has! But surely that is it? At a | :59:39. | :59:48. | |
time when West Ham United had been hoping to get that second goal, in | :59:49. | :59:54. | |
the end, it was a pinpoint finish into the far corner that gives | :59:55. | :59:59. | |
Manchester City elbowroom once again and a 3-1 lead. Relief for City's | :00:00. | :00:07. | |
manager and the supporters. Was it on your mind, the fact you had not | :00:08. | :00:14. | |
won a match away so far? Of course. One point out of nine is not a good | :00:15. | :00:16. | |
average. But I was One point out of nine is not a good | :00:17. | :00:21. | |
average. But I absolutely sure that if we continue playing the way we | :00:22. | :00:28. | |
work, we would have to win. And that was the most important thing. We | :00:29. | :00:34. | |
were not at our best until we went back to 2-1. Unfortunately, they | :00:35. | :00:43. | |
showed some quality that we had to accept. Because of the size and | :00:44. | :00:47. | |
money they have, we could not live with that. That is the difference | :00:48. | :00:50. | |
between the top and the bottom of the league. Moscow next week? Moscow | :00:51. | :00:59. | |
was going to be tough. Obviously, Chelsea on Sunday, so it is a tough | :01:00. | :01:08. | |
week. Sam Aled Davies's 59th birthday today. Manchester City, in | :01:09. | :01:17. | |
fine form. West Ham were really disappointing today, particularly | :01:18. | :01:20. | |
after that good when a couple of weeks ago. At Wirral was | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
sensational. -- Sergio Aguero. One-on-one, he looks to the right | :01:29. | :01:36. | |
and put it to the left. Sam went bonkers at this. The smallest guy on | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
the pitch, and this first headed goal. Vaz Tay is not even looking at | :01:40. | :01:51. | |
him. -- Vaz Te. It is a lovely header. City played very well today. | :01:52. | :01:56. | |
Very well. He's getting it together, working things out. The football | :01:57. | :02:00. | |
league show follows us tonight and there is Manish with the details. | :02:01. | :02:07. | |
We saw ten red cards in the football league and our feature tonight is a | :02:08. | :02:11. | |
real cracker. Two of the top scorers met at vicarage Road. Derby match | :02:12. | :02:16. | |
Watford. Highlights involving Blackpool and Wigan, plus a catch up | :02:17. | :02:25. | |
with MK Dons. Join me and Leroy at 11:55pm on BBC One. | :02:26. | :02:32. | |
A special Match of the Day to come and live from Villa park on Sunday. | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
Setting us up nicely for the main course. | :02:37. | :02:45. | |
# I want a Sunday kind of love. # A love to last past Saturday | :02:46. | :02:55. | |
night. # I want a Sunday kind of love. I | :02:56. | :03:04. | |
wonder if we are overdoing it. It is well worth mentioning that football | :03:05. | :03:08. | |
focus will come live from Saint Georges park next Saturday. Guests | :03:09. | :03:17. | |
include Greg Dyke. Four weeks after sacking a 45 rural | :03:18. | :03:21. | |
foreign manager, Sunderland unveiled a passionate 45-year-old foreign | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
manager. Gus Poyet's first game was at Swansea. You will be comforted by | :03:28. | :03:31. | |
the fact that the Swans have not won in their last eight league games. | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
Martin Fisher made the trip. Gus Poyet becomes Sunderland's sex | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
manager in five years. His challenge, obvious but far from | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
simple. A bold first step in team selection, with the inclusion of | :03:48. | :03:52. | |
Phil Bardsley. More popular for the fans, the return of Steven Fletcher | :03:53. | :03:58. | |
after injury. In a continued absence of Ashley Williams, Leon Britton is | :03:59. | :04:09. | |
back to captain. His 400th start. Their only point in the campaign | :04:10. | :04:12. | |
came two months ago a way to Southampton. | :04:13. | :04:18. | |
Gardner is the culprit. Swansea are the beneficiaries. Clumsy from | :04:19. | :04:27. | |
Gardner. Will it be costly? De Guzman takes it. Westwood struggles | :04:28. | :04:33. | |
to get across. Certainly, bending it viciously. Westwood would have made | :04:34. | :04:41. | |
it if it had been on target. The Swansea fans, excited probably for | :04:42. | :04:43. | |
the first time this half. A real chance! What a mess by | :04:44. | :04:59. | |
Bardsley. What a return that would have been. | :05:00. | :05:20. | |
Westwood makes a very good save. If I'm not mistaken, that was on its | :05:21. | :05:30. | |
way. Dyer let it fly from a long way out. Swansea's third corner, De | :05:31. | :05:38. | |
Guzman. And it's in! I'm not sure who it came off. Did it take a | :05:39. | :05:49. | |
further touch? De Guzman with the delivery. I'm not sure if that is | :05:50. | :05:57. | |
not an own goal. Who did it come off? It is definitely a Sunderland | :05:58. | :06:04. | |
player, I think it is Phil Bardsley. Cannot give that to him. It was | :06:05. | :06:09. | |
going wide. It is an own goal by Phil Bardsley and Swansea have their | :06:10. | :06:10. | |
tails up. De Guzman! Water vole! What a goal! | :06:11. | :06:43. | |
-- what a goal. There was nothing lucky about that from Jonathan De | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
Guzman. A brilliant goal. Routledge was persistent and De Guzman, with a | :06:48. | :06:54. | |
magnificent finish. Kieran Westwood has no chance with that. Two goals | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
in the space of two minutes early in the second half. Jonathan De Guzman | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
with this first Premier League strike of the campaign, and already | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
it is beyond Sunderland. They have to get a call back and soon. | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
Borini with his first touch! What a chance. A bad mess from Fabio | :07:20. | :07:26. | |
Borini. A wonderful delivery from caramel. -- capture mole. | :07:27. | :07:42. | |
Kieran Westwood, what a save! De Guzman, who has already scored a | :07:43. | :07:46. | |
beauty, almost added a cracker here. Leon Britton goes down. That is a | :07:47. | :08:04. | |
penalty. Gardner clipped him. No complaints from the Sunderland man. | :08:05. | :08:09. | |
There cannot be, really. He was just inside the penalty area and Swansea | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
have a penalty. Bony here, with a chance. | :08:17. | :08:23. | |
Perfect. Thick penalty from Bony. -- perfect penalty. His first Premier | :08:24. | :08:33. | |
League goal since the opening strike against Manchester United. What a | :08:34. | :08:39. | |
start to the second half. 20 minutes since the restart and Swansea are | :08:40. | :08:48. | |
disappearing over the hills. Gus Poyet has to reflect on how this | :08:49. | :08:51. | |
game has been turned on its head. Lovely football from Swansea. Michu | :08:52. | :09:12. | |
with a header! Westwood denies him. He has produced two splendid saves | :09:13. | :09:16. | |
in the second half. Otherwise this victory for Swansea would be even | :09:17. | :09:26. | |
more convincing. It is four now. It is Chico Florez, the man sent off | :09:27. | :09:32. | |
when the sides met last season. Celebrating its first ever goal in | :09:33. | :09:35. | |
the Premier League. Good delivery from De Guzman. Chico Florez | :09:36. | :09:40. | |
stooped. It might have taken a little deflection as well. The final | :09:41. | :09:46. | |
touch might have come of Fletcher but it is Chico's goal. And the | :09:47. | :09:52. | |
Sunderland fans, those hardy souls have a miserable trip back home. It | :09:53. | :10:08. | |
was difficult to take. Not a nice welcome to the Premiership for me. | :10:09. | :10:14. | |
There is no place to hide. It was an important game for us. Two very | :10:15. | :10:19. | |
different halves. At forgetting the first goal, we started to play | :10:20. | :10:26. | |
differently. And the rest came by itself. Adding it was an important | :10:27. | :10:32. | |
win for us. There is nothing to complain about and that will make | :10:33. | :10:36. | |
sure we keep working. -- I will make sure. Unfortunately, we are in the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
same situation this week. We need to make sure that we improved | :10:44. | :10:45. | |
dramatically. same situation this week. We need to | :10:46. | :10:48. | |
make sure that He has done a job on his hands. One of the worst starts | :10:49. | :10:51. | |
to a season in Premier League history. Hard to come back from that | :10:52. | :10:59. | |
kind of start. Mixed emotions. He would be quite happy with the way | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
they competed for the first 55 minutes but he will be concerned | :11:03. | :11:08. | |
with how it fell apart. Swansea, to be fair, are a good side. I know | :11:09. | :11:13. | |
they have not won in 88 home games but they have a lot of quality. It | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
was a combination of great Swansea play but when you are at the bottom | :11:19. | :11:23. | |
and struggling, the head is down, and you think the world is against | :11:24. | :11:30. | |
you. Phil Bardsley, coming back for his first game of the season, 0-0, | :11:31. | :11:32. | |
he had a decent chance. his first game of the season, 0-0, | :11:33. | :11:35. | |
he had a decent If he had taken it, it would have been different. But | :11:36. | :11:39. | |
this sums everything up about Sunderland. They get in a good | :11:40. | :11:45. | |
position at the back post. It comes to him and he leans back. That was a | :11:46. | :11:52. | |
woeful mess. And then the opening goal, it hits his leg and to be | :11:53. | :11:58. | |
fair, that is unlikely. Again, it just fell apart. It is a long way | :11:59. | :12:04. | |
back. It is the sort of game that can turn things around. It got Paolo | :12:05. | :12:10. | |
Di Canio going last year. It got him the job in the end. It was a massive | :12:11. | :12:16. | |
game. Next, a clash between two sides in the top harbour. Everton, | :12:17. | :12:21. | |
unbeaten in the last 12, and Hull, who have not conceded a league goal | :12:22. | :12:24. | |
for three and a half hours of football. | :12:25. | :12:30. | |
Everton will once again look to their man of the moment as they bid | :12:31. | :12:38. | |
to get back to winning ways. Lukaku has 15 Premier League goals in this | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
calendar year. Gareth Barry returns in midfield, having been ineligible | :12:43. | :12:46. | |
against Manchester City. All, unbeaten in four, make one change. | :12:47. | :12:49. | |
Robbie Brady makes a welcome return. Two weeks after a hernia | :12:50. | :12:53. | |
operation. A beautiful move from Everton. They | :12:54. | :13:20. | |
get a corner of Elmohamady. Leighton Baines with the coroner. -- corner. | :13:21. | :13:34. | |
It doesn't matter. Less than eight minutes gone, 1-0 Everton. The | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
strike from Mirallas the McGregor all ends up. | :13:39. | :13:49. | |
Watch Barry just make the run, it might have been an offside position | :13:50. | :13:56. | |
there as well. Conversation between Barry and Barkley, appears to think | :13:57. | :13:59. | |
that Gareth Barry did. He stayed down after that | :14:00. | :14:13. | |
challenge, the Hull striker. It might have been a little bit high. | :14:14. | :14:18. | |
The Hull striker felt the full force of it. It has not been the best | :14:19. | :14:21. | |
quarter of an hour for Steve Bruce, his team 1-0 down. It looks as | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
though he is on loan Sunderland striker will play no further part. | :14:27. | :14:29. | |
The Ivory Coast international Yannick Sagbo is on for the majority | :14:30. | :14:31. | |
of this game. The backpass could have been hugely | :14:32. | :14:50. | |
embarrassing, he took a chance with his first touch by turning inside | :14:51. | :14:51. | |
and drilled it back. That reaction is totally | :14:52. | :15:04. | |
understandable. A beautiful delivery, look at Faye, four yards | :15:05. | :15:08. | |
out and that is how close it was the 1-1. | :15:09. | :15:16. | |
Barry, for the second time today, was a little late there. There was | :15:17. | :15:24. | |
no card for his first tackle on Danny Graham, but there is this | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
time. It is the first yellow of the day from Neal Swarbrick and Gareth | :15:29. | :15:31. | |
Barry is the recipient of it for this challenge on Aluko. Again, that | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
is not good viewing. It angered Steve Bruce. He was jumping in the | :15:37. | :15:39. | |
air as soon as the tackle was made. There is the equaliser, Sagbo, the | :15:40. | :15:52. | |
substitute, levels it for Hull. Beautifully works. The finish was | :15:53. | :16:18. | |
clinical from the Ivory Coast international, Yannick Sagbo. No | :16:19. | :16:22. | |
chance for Howard. Everton one, Hull one. | :16:23. | :16:35. | |
Livermore, that was a chance. He has never scored a Premier League goal, | :16:36. | :16:44. | |
had an opportunity to do so here. Leon Osman departs and for the first | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
time since August the 31st, Steven Pienaar is back in Everton action | :16:50. | :16:55. | |
and has a little over half an hour to influence matters. | :16:56. | :17:01. | |
Pienaar's first touch, it is a clinical one! What about that! | :17:02. | :17:18. | |
And all-important touch, ten seconds after coming on. You could watch | :17:19. | :17:26. | |
that one over and over again. That is what you call a dream | :17:27. | :17:28. | |
substitution. Kone, surely, how has he missed | :17:29. | :17:48. | |
that? A golden chance for his first Everton goal. He might have been | :17:49. | :17:54. | |
offside anyway, but 99 times out of 100 Kone would have scored there. No | :17:55. | :18:00. | |
chance to take your eye off either end at the moment. | :18:01. | :18:10. | |
An excellent save by McGregor. He has certainly been involved since he | :18:11. | :18:18. | |
came on to. Kone was denied by the reflexes of McGregor. Everton two, | :18:19. | :18:23. | |
Hull one. The big decisions have gone against us today. | :18:24. | :18:29. | |
Gareth Barry touched it. I did not feel any touch at all, a couple of | :18:30. | :18:36. | |
people said it might have hit me been offside. I felt he did not | :18:37. | :18:39. | |
touch it and I need to believe my player. But even if it touched | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
minimally, I would expect the referee to spot it because it would | :18:47. | :18:49. | |
have been a gamble and in football the referee has the hardest job. | :18:50. | :18:54. | |
Gareth Barry is a fantastic player and a great pro over the years and I | :18:55. | :18:57. | |
hate to single anybody out but his tackle on Aluko in particular for me | :18:58. | :19:04. | |
is a Redcar. I remember winning the ball but the referee said I caught | :19:05. | :19:07. | |
him, so if that is the case you can pick up a red card. I am not too | :19:08. | :19:10. | |
sure it would have been a read. He seems to have been involved in most | :19:11. | :19:13. | |
of the controversial moments, Gareth Barry. What do you think? We are | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
about to find out. He was offside and he touched it, no | :19:18. | :19:28. | |
doubt about it. A good strike from Mirallas but if you watch Gareth | :19:29. | :19:34. | |
Barry, he walks out, back there, goes back in an offside position and | :19:35. | :19:38. | |
just as Mirallas is going to shoot, we freeze it there. He is offside, | :19:39. | :19:43. | |
no doubt about that. There is a little flick here which will tell | :19:44. | :19:48. | |
you. It was me, I definitely had a little touch and Steve Bruce is | :19:49. | :19:52. | |
right. This probably should have been a yellow card. Clumsy, high, he | :19:53. | :19:57. | |
doesn't get a yellow card for this one, Gareth Barry. He should have. | :19:58. | :20:02. | |
This one is probably worse and could have been a straight red. Dangerous, | :20:03. | :20:06. | |
high, over the ball, gets a yellow card for that one. He should have | :20:07. | :20:11. | |
been sent off. A good winter Everton. Our final game this week as | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
Stoke against West Brom, the Potters have found goals hard to come by, | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
just four so far this season. The Baggies have been in good form and | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
have yet to lose an away game in this campaign. At the Britannia | :20:24. | :20:24. | |
Stadium was Alistair Mann. Three changes. Oak, a first-ever | :20:25. | :20:37. | |
Premier League start for Assaidi, the Moroccan normally -- the | :20:38. | :20:44. | |
Moroccan on loan. No such problems for West Brom, whose only alteration | :20:45. | :20:48. | |
sees the physicality of Anichebe preferred to Anelka. The impressive | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
20-year-old Berahino retains his place in the side. | :20:54. | :21:08. | |
He will feel he may be should have put West Brom in front there. He | :21:09. | :21:15. | |
looks for the flag, the flag did not come and Sessegnon tiptoed his way | :21:16. | :21:21. | |
through. He is aghast he hasn't opened the scoring. Four games | :21:22. | :21:28. | |
unbeaten, two wins, two draws, the most notable win at Old Trafford for | :21:29. | :21:30. | |
Steve Clark. The touch was poor and it allowed | :21:31. | :21:45. | |
the international keeper to smother him. A good stop by Begovic, but I | :21:46. | :21:49. | |
think Amalfitano's touch at the vital moment was the reason he could | :21:50. | :21:52. | |
not get it beyond the onrushing Stoke keeper. | :21:53. | :22:05. | |
Nothing given. A good look at the assistant from Howard Webb and he | :22:06. | :22:16. | |
stayed motionless. Howard Webb awarded nothing. It is a goal kick | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
and Mulumbu picks himself up. He believes he ought to have won a | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
penalty here. Getting beyond Adam, that is a penalty, no question about | :22:25. | :22:30. | |
it. Yes, that is a penalty. No wonder Mulumbu has gone down as he | :22:31. | :22:32. | |
did. Ireland's. A fabulous opportunity | :22:33. | :23:06. | |
for Stephen Ireland, got into the position from which you felt he must | :23:07. | :23:10. | |
get it on target. But he scooped it over the top of the bar and Stoke's | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
best opportunity ends in the stands and not in the goal. | :23:16. | :23:36. | |
Adam, he saw the goalkeeper off his line and almost converted it. A | :23:37. | :23:43. | |
fabulous effort from Adam and there is even applause from Myhill to the | :23:44. | :23:48. | |
man who almost lobbed him. Nice to see. A big smile on Myhill and | :23:49. | :23:52. | |
applause to Adam for attempting it. That would have been sensational. | :23:53. | :24:27. | |
Arnautovic could not get the touch and it goes out for a throw. | :24:28. | :24:33. | |
Arnautovic believes he was fouled, Howard Webb says no. A lovely ball | :24:34. | :24:38. | |
in from Stephen Ireland and the cross, well, how close was it to | :24:39. | :24:42. | |
getting to the Austrian? Not far at all. A victory today would give Mark | :24:43. | :24:49. | |
Hughes' 100th winner of the Premier League manager. | :24:50. | :24:57. | |
Stoppage time, three minutes of it. Is that enough for one of these | :24:58. | :25:05. | |
sides to conjure up a winning goal? It opens up for Sessegnon, must | :25:06. | :25:11. | |
score, straight into the body of Begovic. What an opportunity to | :25:12. | :25:15. | |
finish off the game and Sessegnon maybe ought to have scored the first | :25:16. | :25:22. | |
half but struck at Begovic, has done exactly the same at the end of the | :25:23. | :25:25. | |
second. The points were beckoning. Sessegnon. Beyond everyone, right in | :25:26. | :25:29. | |
front of the goalkeeper. Begovic spread himself and I think Stoke | :25:30. | :25:34. | |
City know who their man of the matches today. It is their | :25:35. | :25:37. | |
goalkeeper. West Brom will go puzzled as to how they have ended up | :25:38. | :25:39. | |
drawing. We should have won the game. You had | :25:40. | :25:49. | |
to produce a bit of quality at the right time. We did that on a number | :25:50. | :25:52. | |
of occasions. I can think of the top of my head three really good | :25:53. | :25:56. | |
goal-scoring chances but their goalkeeper made good saves and one | :25:57. | :26:01. | |
stonewall penalty, not given us a penalty, it was beyond him me. It is | :26:02. | :26:06. | |
clear it was a penalty and we did not get it. That leaves us a bit | :26:07. | :26:12. | |
disappointed. On reflection 0-0 was a fair result for both teams. I am | :26:13. | :26:16. | |
sure West Brom will question maybe the missed penalty opportunity, but | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
I was saying the same things a couple of weeks back so the old | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
adage that they even themselves out, I never used to believe it but maybe | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
it has done today. You can tell from that but even Mark Hughes. It was a | :26:32. | :26:37. | |
penalty! It was an inspired performance from Begovic, West Brom | :26:38. | :26:40. | |
should have won the game easily. I love it the way he put his hands | :26:41. | :26:50. | |
up and says, no, I never touched it. Every time you watch this it gets | :26:51. | :26:55. | |
worse. Nangel coming up, it is incredible. -- an angle coming up, | :26:56. | :27:02. | |
it is incredible. For goodness sake, it is a stonewall penalty kick. You | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
have Howard Webb trying to have a look around. This would have been | :27:07. | :27:14. | |
absolute perfection. But it was a game that West Brom should have one. | :27:15. | :27:20. | |
He can't score. They can't score at all but they have a good goalkeeper | :27:21. | :27:23. | |
and that is what you need when you are not scoring. He is playing well, | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
isn't he? That is the key, if you are keeping clean sheets. If you are | :27:30. | :27:35. | |
not scoring, you need the back. We're out of time. We asked you | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
rather provocatively if you thought Manchester United would finish in | :27:40. | :27:42. | |
the top four this season. Here is response, 70 cents think Manchester | :27:43. | :27:48. | |
with United will not stay at the top of macro. -- 70% think Manchester | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
United will not stay in the top four. With their midfield maestros | :27:53. | :27:58. | |
on song Arsenal are top of the pile with Chelsea leading the chase. | :27:59. | :28:03. | |
Manchester City found some form away from home to stay in contention. | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
Southampton's pointer United keeps them in the top five. Sunderland | :28:09. | :28:10. | |
remain bottom after being thrashed at Swansea. Norwich stay in the | :28:11. | :28:16. | |
bottom three. Crystal Palace and Fulham need on Monday. Let's have a | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
look at what the Sunday papers have to say. The Telegraph talks of civil | :28:21. | :28:24. | |
war at the FA over Greg Dyke's commission into the future of | :28:25. | :28:29. | |
English football. The Mail on Sunday says Greg Dyke is facing revolt only | :28:30. | :28:33. | |
four months into the job. The Sunday Times focuses on the 2022 Qatar | :28:34. | :28:38. | |
World Cup being moved from the summer to April. We had 27 goals, | :28:39. | :28:42. | |
the pick of them scored by Annie Bushman. Bring on Brazil! Goodbye. | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
-- the pick of them were scored by Englishman. | :28:49. | :28:51. |
