:00:50. > :00:58.Good evening. We've brought a bit of Brazilian flair into the Match of
:00:59. > :01:02.the Day studio and, I tell you what, it's had the desired effect. 32
:01:03. > :01:05.goals coming up on a pulsating day of Premier League action. A warm
:01:06. > :01:08.welcome to World Cup winner Leonardo, alongside Alan Shearer.
:01:09. > :01:41.Eight cracking games on the way. And, on Sport Relief weekend, we
:01:42. > :01:45.introduce a new pundit to the Match of the Day team. Russell Brand's
:01:46. > :01:49.been keeping a close eye on West Ham's game against Manchester
:01:50. > :01:52.United. He'll be with us later. We start at Stamford Bridge where
:01:53. > :01:59.Arsene Wenger led his team for the 1,000th time as Arsenal manager.
:02:00. > :02:09.Arsene Wenger speaks five languages and a degree in economics. Just your
:02:10. > :02:14.average Premiership manager. Great strike by Wright. Victorious here,
:02:15. > :02:20.their first match under Arsene Wenger.
:02:21. > :02:28.COMMENTATOR: What a way to clinch the Championship. Arsenal celebrate,
:02:29. > :02:38.not only a Championship, but a double. Arsenal, the champions,
:02:39. > :02:46.unbeaten from start to finish. In 10 previous league meetings, Wenger has
:02:47. > :02:49.yet to beat a Chelsea side managed by Jose Mourinho. Victory would put
:02:50. > :02:53.the Gunners a point behind the leaders with a game in hand. Steve
:02:54. > :02:55.Wilson was watching. He didn't need the landmark to be considered, one
:02:56. > :02:59.of the Premier League's greatest managers, 1,000 games is a great
:03:00. > :03:05.landmark, nonetheless for Arsene Wenger. Regrets, he has had a few,
:03:06. > :03:11.not least perhaps Samuel Eto'o hoping Barcelona beat 10-man Arsenal
:03:12. > :03:14.in the Champions League final eight years ago. The Chelsea striker is
:03:15. > :03:19.preferred to Fernando Torres up front. Mattish, Luiz and Schurrle
:03:20. > :03:26.return. Lampard on the bench. COMMENTATOR: Giroud has got there
:03:27. > :03:53.first. Good save by Cech. Good save this from Petr Cech.
:03:54. > :03:55.Olivier Giroud arriving between three blue shirts to get there, just
:03:56. > :04:03.half a pace ahead. Here come Chelsea on the counter.
:04:04. > :04:07.What a lively start to the game here. Andre Schurrle, Eto'o
:04:08. > :04:15.desperate for, it Samuel Eto'o here for Chelsea. Scores, brilliantly!
:04:16. > :04:24.Fantastic finish. He is bang in-form. Scored against
:04:25. > :04:31.Spurs, scored against Galatasaray, scores against Arsenal.
:04:32. > :04:42.Schurrle's pass, just made Eto'o hesitate and wait for it. Caressed
:04:43. > :04:48.it with his right. Then onto his left and into the corner. Great goal
:04:49. > :04:54.from a great goalscorer. Samuel Eto'o.
:04:55. > :05:10.Won by Matic. Nicking it away from Cazorla. Schurrle's shot is through!
:05:11. > :05:17.Chelsea 2-0 up. What a start for Jose Mourinho. What a shocker for
:05:18. > :05:26.Arsene Wenger and Arsenal. And, Arsenal caught in possession. Santi
:05:27. > :05:32.Cazorla, fed in towards Schurrle. Szczesny was reduced to the role of
:05:33. > :05:43.a speck stator here -- spectator here. Through the legs of Szczesny.
:05:44. > :05:51.The shot hit the net in precisely the same spot that Samuel Eto'o had
:05:52. > :05:55.barely 90 seconds earlier. No foul, Oscar into Eden Hazard. Trouble
:05:56. > :06:00.again. Fernando Torres, surely not a third? Eden Hazard! They are
:06:01. > :06:08.claiming handball. They might have a case here, Chelsea. Andre Marriner
:06:09. > :06:12.has pointed to the spot. Now, is there going to be further
:06:13. > :06:16.punishment? There is a red card. There is a glancing touch from
:06:17. > :06:22.Oxlade-Chamberlain. It might be going wide anyway. The Arsenal
:06:23. > :06:26.players are distraught. Hold on, Kieran Gibbs has been sent off. It
:06:27. > :06:36.was Oxlade-Chamberlain who handled it. Oxlade-Chamberlain comes to the
:06:37. > :06:44.referee and says "ref, it was me." He saying there "wrong player"?
:06:45. > :06:48.Arsene Wenger talking to the referee assistant on this side. I think he
:06:49. > :06:57.knew it was the wrong player. Inconsistency anyway to send off the
:06:58. > :07:00.player for handball. Think Manchester United/Liverpool. Here is
:07:01. > :07:07.the chance for Chelsea, which they take, to go 3-0 up in the 17th
:07:08. > :07:11.minute of the game. Eden Hazard and Arsenal again, away from home,
:07:12. > :07:19.against title rivals, are being blown away. Straight down the
:07:20. > :07:24.middle, Szczesny, dived out of the way. Arsenal down to 10-men with
:07:25. > :07:29.Kieran Gibbs, quite clearly, the wrong man sent off. They played half
:07:30. > :07:35.an hour, Arsenal 3-0 down, at Chelsea. Down to 10-men. It's not
:07:36. > :07:42.even their worse half-hour of the season. Deflected. Good save. It
:07:43. > :07:49.could have been four. Arsenal's gameplan is in tatters. Their title
:07:50. > :07:54.challenge isn't looking much better. Ivanovic. Clever touch from
:07:55. > :08:05.Schurrle. Here's Torres. Oscar to his left, Torres, looks up, finds
:08:06. > :08:11.Oscar - 4-0. Forget 1,000 matches, this is death by 1,000 cuts for
:08:12. > :08:19.Arsene Wenger. Utterly disspirited, Arsenal. Wonderful touch in to
:08:20. > :08:27.Fernando Torres. Who looked up and pick out his team-mate for a tap-in.
:08:28. > :08:37.Excellent. A little kink finish was cute as well. -- dink.
:08:38. > :08:48.Torres off after this. Eden Hazard arriving, Torres, great turn of
:08:49. > :08:53.pace. Fernando Torres, Luiz, good save. It could have been five. Just
:08:54. > :08:58.two minutes into the second-half, Arsenal's goal under threat again.
:08:59. > :09:07.Fernando Torres denied by a Mertesacker block. Then Szczesny
:09:08. > :09:14.leaves David Luiz looking at the heavens.
:09:15. > :09:24.Back with Torres, who did well to feed Oscar! Great effort. Goal kick
:09:25. > :09:34.is given. Oscar seemed convince that was a corner.
:09:35. > :09:45.Mertesacker with a careful header away to Rosicky. Given to Oscar. Oh,
:09:46. > :09:54.it's gone through, Chelsea have five. This is a bad one for
:09:55. > :10:03.Szczesny. Oscar with his second goal of the game, he make it is five.
:10:04. > :10:15.Szczesny will be bitterly disappointed to have allowed that to
:10:16. > :10:24.go in. He's onside. Salah, this for six. Scores! Mohamed Salah, with his
:10:25. > :10:27.first for the club. He's quick. He beat the offside trap. It was just
:10:28. > :10:35.then a question of whether he could finish. And, he could. Mohamed Salah
:10:36. > :10:44.with a day to remember. The way we started. The way we
:10:45. > :10:47.pressed them. The way we recovered the ball and attacked the spaces
:10:48. > :10:53.immediately. I think it was fantastic. In 10 minutes I think
:10:54. > :10:58.everybody in the stadium felt what... Not the final score, I think
:10:59. > :11:06.everybody felt that easily Chelsea would win this match. After that,
:11:07. > :11:12.penalty, red card, 10-men, obviously, easy and comfortable.
:11:13. > :11:16.It's my job, you know, and unfortunately that despite the vast
:11:17. > :11:21.experience I have, I think when you do not turn up in a game like that,
:11:22. > :11:25.it's your responsibility. The importance of this game was massive.
:11:26. > :11:29.We felt it before the game how big this result could be. If they beat
:11:30. > :11:32.us, how difficult it could be for us. We really felt that pressure
:11:33. > :11:36.going out. I think that is why you saw the performance and the start we
:11:37. > :11:39.showed. Do you feel there is something fundamentally wrong when a
:11:40. > :11:43.player is saying to the referee, you've got the wrong man, I
:11:44. > :11:49.committed the foul? That the referee can't change his mind? Yes, he
:11:50. > :11:54.should be able to change his mind especially if he hasn't seen it. He
:11:55. > :11:59.should at least check I think rather than sending off the wrong player.
:12:00. > :12:06.Chelsea now title favourites? No, obviously, no. That it for thele? It
:12:07. > :12:12.is going to be very tough. Very, very tough, but we have to fight. We
:12:13. > :12:20.have to respond quickly because we are in a situation where after such
:12:21. > :12:24.a disappointment today the next game becomes vital. You leave before the
:12:25. > :12:28.end of the game, why do you do that? The game is over. My wife doesn't
:12:29. > :12:32.know the result. She is waiting for me to call. She is always in doubt
:12:33. > :12:39.because she doesn't know the result. So if I can give her the result two
:12:40. > :12:44.minutes before, then... She is not watching? No. She should wait to
:12:45. > :12:48.watch Match of the Day without knowing the score, it's much more
:12:49. > :12:53.exciting that way. Blistering performance from Chelsea. It was
:12:54. > :12:57.over after 10 minutes. Mourinho got his tactics spot on. They worked
:12:58. > :13:01.perfectly. We saw a mirror image performance of what we saw Liverpool
:13:02. > :13:05.do to Arsenal six or seven weeks ago. They pressed them really high
:13:06. > :13:09.early on in the game. After 10 minutes the game was over. This was
:13:10. > :13:13.Liverpool against Arsenal, six or seven weeks ago. Pressed them on the
:13:14. > :13:17.half-way line. Didn't give them time to settle on the ball. Won the ball
:13:18. > :13:21.on the half-way line. Four, five players looking to get into the box.
:13:22. > :13:25.Breaking on them, getting the ball into the box. It ends up in the back
:13:26. > :13:29.of the net. Brilliant. Chelsea, exactly the same thing today. Look,
:13:30. > :13:33.pressing high, not letting Arsenal have any time on the ball. This is
:13:34. > :13:37.after a couple of minutes. They had their warning shot. Man for man they
:13:38. > :13:43.are all marked. Lucky, they got away with that one there. Arsenal
:13:44. > :13:46.gambled. Six players ahead of the ball. What you cannot do with that
:13:47. > :13:49.many people ahead of you is lose the ball. Lose the ball,
:13:50. > :13:52.Oxlade-Chamberlain, like they do, what happened at Liverpool? Exactly
:13:53. > :13:57.the same thing. They are now breaking on them. They have two on
:13:58. > :14:01.two, Schurrle and Eto'o, lovely ball in. To be fair, there is still a
:14:02. > :14:04.hell of a lot of work to do from there. It's a very, very good
:14:05. > :14:11.finish. Great finish. Exactly the same thing again. Matic this time on
:14:12. > :14:15.Cazorla. Watch how he closes him. He hasn't time to pick his head up.
:14:16. > :14:18.Closing him down, winning the ball. Five men ahead of the ball for
:14:19. > :14:22.Arsenal. They can't get back. Pressing them and winning the ball
:14:23. > :14:26.and get into the box. Schurrle very good run, very much like Eto'o.
:14:27. > :14:32.Brilliant finish. Game over after 1 o 0 minutes. Pressed them high.
:14:33. > :14:36.Arsenal could not handle that. Not Andre Marriner's best day, was it?
:14:37. > :14:44.No, it wasn't. He had a terrible day. Criticised, probable rightly
:14:45. > :14:48.so. He said he is disappointed. Another break into the box. Hazard,
:14:49. > :14:54.it's clearly handball. He has a decent view of it. Chamberlain is on
:14:55. > :14:59.the line. Gibbs, who he sends off, the poor decision. It is going wide.
:15:00. > :15:04.He still hasn't blown up there. The linesman haven't given it either. He
:15:05. > :15:07.gives it there. Someone is in his ear telling him. Oxlade-Chamberlain
:15:08. > :15:11.thinks it is going in, there is no reason why he would stick his hand
:15:12. > :15:16.out. And risk being sent off. It is a penalty. There is absolutely no
:15:17. > :15:20.doubt about that. But it should have been a yellow card it was going
:15:21. > :15:24.wide. They will reverse the decision. Oxlade-Chamberlain will
:15:25. > :15:33.have to sit out of a game. Look, he is saying to him "ref, it was me."
:15:34. > :15:36.He still sends Gibbs off. Oxlade-Chamberlain will still get,
:15:37. > :15:44.it will get looked at. He will have his ban, it will be reversed. It is
:15:45. > :15:48.not a clear and obvious error. It is an error, not clear and obvious.
:15:49. > :15:53.Chelsea started the game very well. It was Arsene Wenger's 1,000th game
:15:54. > :15:58.in charge, quite possibly his worst. Were you surprised how easy Chelsea
:15:59. > :16:02.overcame them? Everybody is surprised. If like Alan explained
:16:03. > :16:07.before, it happens a few weeks ago, the same situation. That is strange
:16:08. > :16:13.because you know, you are playing against Chelsea, very fast players.
:16:14. > :16:18.Counter-attack. In these situations perfect for Chelsea style. I think
:16:19. > :16:22.the problems can you explain tactically and perhaps physical, I
:16:23. > :16:25.think the problem is the approach, the preparation for the match. Not
:16:26. > :16:30.when you start the match and you turn on and start. In the match,
:16:31. > :16:37.before. He was surprised even psychologically because it was
:16:38. > :16:45.completely done in 10 minutes. A common theme with the top clubs?
:16:46. > :16:49.Common theme in the early kick-offs. Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea.
:16:50. > :16:53.I'm surprised at the lack of reaction and desire. The game was
:16:54. > :16:58.over, you have to show more fight than they did.
:16:59. > :17:03.It might surprise you to learn that Cardiff City have won their last
:17:04. > :17:06.five home league games against Liverpool, although you do have to
:17:07. > :17:09.go back to August 1959 for their previous encounter. Today's game saw
:17:10. > :17:16.second take on second from bottom. Your commentator, Steve Bower.
:17:17. > :17:28.Eight games left to decide Cardiff's destiny. Two of Luis
:17:29. > :17:33.Suarez's 25 goals came against Cardiff in December. He needs for
:17:34. > :17:45.walk to break Robbie Fowler's Liverpool record.
:17:46. > :17:56.Fabiola has much in support. He was caught in two minds, that wasn't a
:17:57. > :18:02.good ball. Campbell. Jordon Mutch, in space, and in the back of the
:18:03. > :18:09.net! Inside nine minutes, Jordon Mutch, who scored at Anfield earlier
:18:10. > :18:15.in the season Mac shocks Liverpool, and puts Cardiff in front. It is
:18:16. > :18:22.nothing more than their players deserve. That was slack from Joe
:18:23. > :18:27.Allen. Watch the composure from Campbell to pick out Jordon Mutch.
:18:28. > :18:35.And a very calm finish for Jordon Mutch, his fifth goal in the season.
:18:36. > :18:46.Johnson. There is space for Henderson. Coutinho took over. Good
:18:47. > :18:51.possession from Liverpool. Testing Cardiff's concentration. Suarez, on
:18:52. > :18:59.the move. Looking for Johnson, Suarez, a brilliant goal! Double our
:19:00. > :19:05.level. The familiar name of Luis Suarez is on the end of it, set up
:19:06. > :19:10.by Johnson. One - one. They were patient, they picked the pass and
:19:11. > :19:19.when it came, it was from Henderson. It was inch perfect. A simple finish
:19:20. > :19:28.for Luis Suarez to score his 26 Premier League goal of the season.
:19:29. > :19:41.Finding Campbell again in space. Campbell! He puts Cardiff back in
:19:42. > :19:50.front! Their top scorer, with a really cool finish, to make it 2 -1
:19:51. > :19:57.already. Too many gaps again as far as Liverpool are concerned. Campbell
:19:58. > :20:01.exploited that 1 and slotted that past Mignolet for his 9th goal of
:20:02. > :20:09.the season. His 6th in the Premier League. Henderson has gone on,
:20:10. > :20:19.across came Medel. A Liverpool corner. Terrific covering from the
:20:20. > :20:26.Chilean international. Coutinho's corner.
:20:27. > :20:34.Inside the last 5 bits of the 1st half. Skrtel attacking it, and
:20:35. > :20:39.Liverpool are level again. Skrtel, with his 5th goal of the season.
:20:40. > :20:45.Liverpool respond once more. It was all about the delivery from
:20:46. > :20:53.Coutinho, and Skrtel wanted it the most, he got their ahead, and
:20:54. > :21:01.stabbed it past Marshall. That is a hard 1 to take.
:21:02. > :21:22.Finding storage. -- Sturridge. He was caught right on the edge of the
:21:23. > :21:27.penalty area. There is no doubt this is going to be Luis Suarez.
:21:28. > :21:41.The rebound was deflected for a corner. Brave defending there. As
:21:42. > :21:48.Coutinho prepares to take the Liverpool corner. In towards Skrtel!
:21:49. > :21:57.Liverpool lead for the 1st time today. 2 goals Skrtel, 3 for
:21:58. > :22:00.Liverpool. It was so simple. And Cardiff will be disappointed with
:22:01. > :22:04.the way they have conceded this. Nobody was near the Slovakian and he
:22:05. > :22:10.guided the header into the bottom corner.
:22:11. > :22:26.They had 2 players off the pitch, Jordon Mutch was getting treatment.
:22:27. > :22:44.Johnson on the overlap, 3 in the penalty area. Looking for Sturridge,
:22:45. > :22:50.and that might be the killer goal! 2 goals for Suarez, 4 goals for
:22:51. > :22:56.Liverpool. They had a little break on the way through. It broke to
:22:57. > :23:02.Sturridge. A lovely little backheel from him. And Luis Suarez with goal
:23:03. > :23:12.number 27 of this incredible season will stop he wasn't going to miss
:23:13. > :23:19.that. -- this incredible season. No foul on Fabio Borini nonsense.
:23:20. > :23:25.Looking for Suarez. From Caulker. Sterling and Sturridge. Setting up
:23:26. > :23:31.Sturridge! That will steal -- seal it. In tandem again. 5 for
:23:32. > :23:36.Liverpool, and it will now be 6 Premier League wins in a row. And
:23:37. > :23:42.this title challenge is showing no signs of letting up. Cardiff thought
:23:43. > :23:46.they should have had a free kick. Johnson's ball sort out Suarez.
:23:47. > :23:51.Watch the awareness of him. He saw that run, on a plate for him. It
:23:52. > :23:56.seals another 3 points for Liverpool. And another defeat for
:23:57. > :24:03.Cardiff. The Liverpool supporters saying, we
:24:04. > :24:06.are going to win the League. The way the team are scoring goals more than
:24:07. > :24:13.any other position, you wouldn't disagree with them.
:24:14. > :24:37.Jones, Jordon Mutch. They have got 1 back. The 2nd in the game for Jordon
:24:38. > :24:44.Mutch. A free header down. From Jones. And a simple finish for
:24:45. > :24:51.Jordon Mutch. It will matter not to the outcome. 5 minutes of stoppage
:24:52. > :25:03.time. Medel towards Jones. Still Jones. Away by Skrtel. He allowed
:25:04. > :25:11.that to bounce, Suarez is in. Can he rounded off with a hat-trick? He
:25:12. > :25:16.can! 6 for Liverpool. Match ball for Luis Suarez. His 6th double
:25:17. > :25:27.hat-trick. And that is a fine way to seal 6 wins in a row for the 1st
:25:28. > :25:31.time in 8 years. Brushed aside by the striker, and you really did feel
:25:32. > :25:42.from there on in there was only 1 in -- outcome.
:25:43. > :25:50.The power of attack was very good. We conceded 3 goals but over the
:25:51. > :25:57.course we defended not too badly. Overall, it was an outstanding
:25:58. > :26:03.performance. I have tonight watching the corner when they scored a 3rd
:26:04. > :26:11.goal. That was nonsense. I said to the official, I complained. It was a
:26:12. > :26:18.turning point. It was the turning point. You and Sturridge have this
:26:19. > :26:25.unbelievable linkup. We work well together on the pitch. When I tried
:26:26. > :26:34.for the past, and to me, we know we play together 1 or 2 touches, we can
:26:35. > :26:40.play everything. 7 games to go, a roller-coaster. Yes, regroup and
:26:41. > :26:51.find a way of playing. How important is that game now? We can't lose that
:26:52. > :26:56.1. The game is Sunderland, that is the focus.
:26:57. > :26:59.Liverpool were exhilarating yet again. That partnership. We have
:27:00. > :27:10.spoken about it many times. They know each other's game inside
:27:11. > :27:15.out. There is no point here for Henderson or Suarez, it is 1 on 1.
:27:16. > :27:25.Go into the box and do your stuff. He gets past him. They got away with
:27:26. > :27:30.it. Look at Suarez. He is confident that Sturridge will win this ball,
:27:31. > :27:37.which he does. What about this for a pass? He has a knock, 60 yard ball.
:27:38. > :27:43.A decent touch. Sturridge, getting into the box after the pass. Not
:27:44. > :27:49.admiring it. He is still looking for it. My favourite bit here. It comes
:27:50. > :27:54.to Suarez, look at the reaction of Sturridge. He should put the ball
:27:55. > :28:01.in. Look at his reaction, he is not happy. He doesn't moan. He is
:28:02. > :28:06.telepathic. He knows where Suarez is going to be. That is incredible
:28:07. > :28:14.ability. The partnership is a dream, fantastic. A good ball from
:28:15. > :28:20.Johnson. 10 yards on Sturridge. This is the 1 I like. The desire to get
:28:21. > :28:28.into the box and score. He puts it on a plate for him. It is fantastic.
:28:29. > :28:36.An amazing partnership. 3rd in the all-time Premier League
:28:37. > :28:40.partnerships. He will beat us. Leo, you have seen lots upon ships around
:28:41. > :28:50.Europe, how highly does this 1 rate? This is perfect. They enjoy playing
:28:51. > :29:05.together, scoring together. There is a lot of movement. But I had to
:29:06. > :29:10.defend my choices in partnerships. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, his team
:29:11. > :29:17.played very well for a period. There was the extent when it was 2-2. He
:29:18. > :29:24.is right, they both had knocks and had to go off. Having said that, the
:29:25. > :29:29.fundamentals stay the same. Caulker doesn't pick him up right, 9 players
:29:30. > :29:35.in the box, 1 should still be picking up. They don't have anyone
:29:36. > :29:41.on the post. In a way, I agree he still has 2 -- but he still has to
:29:42. > :29:47.pick up and marked properly. Manchester City began the day six
:29:48. > :29:49.points behind Chelsea, but with three games in hand.
:29:50. > :29:52.Bottom-of-the-table Fulham arrived at the Etihad four points adrift of
:29:53. > :29:59.safety. Commentary by Jonathan Pearce.
:30:00. > :30:09.Negredo returns upfront for Manchester City with Aguero and
:30:10. > :30:12.Djeko missing less got comes in. Kolarov is preferred. And Milner
:30:13. > :30:29.replaces Garcia. Once more, Woodrow leads the line.
:30:30. > :30:38.John Arne Riise comes in. And look for a miracle. -- looking for a
:30:39. > :30:47.miracle. Manchester City can't find their
:30:48. > :30:56.rhythm. Will they now? Kolarov. David Silva. Milner with the drive.
:30:57. > :31:03.And out by John Arne Riise. Moving a bit, wobbling in the air, a decent
:31:04. > :31:09.say. Pellegrini has told the fans today their destiny is in their own
:31:10. > :31:16.hands. If they win all their games, they will be champions again.
:31:17. > :31:21.Woodrow, lots by less got, followed up by Richardson. A wake-up call,
:31:22. > :31:31.perhaps, for Manchester City. Goodness me. He drooled that.
:31:32. > :31:36.Manchester City destroyed Tottenham's game, 6-0, and
:31:37. > :31:40.slaughtered Arsenal on this ground. But it is against the lesser side
:31:41. > :31:46.where they have struggled. Manchester City on the counter, in
:31:47. > :31:53.towards Negredo. The lines manned is waving his flag, penalty!
:31:54. > :32:00.The assistant referee gave it just a touch by Amorebieta on Negredo. The
:32:01. > :32:07.referee saw it. A little bit of delay - penalty given! Yaya Toure
:32:08. > :32:11.with it then. To break the deadlock. Straight down the middle, 1-0 to
:32:12. > :32:19.Manchester City. 18 goals this season. Cooly done. Having another
:32:20. > :32:26.wonderful campaign. The times he has kept Manchester City ticking along.
:32:27. > :32:36.Manchester City totally dominated possession, as you would expect them
:32:37. > :32:42.to. Amorebieta, stretched over the bar.
:32:43. > :32:54.The next goal in this game could have a crucial bearing on the title
:32:55. > :33:01.race and the relegation rat race. Penalty kick. Amorebieta, he has got
:33:02. > :33:07.to go. Straight red. The movement, the pace. Totally undid Fulham
:33:08. > :33:14.there. Brilliant move, Manchester City, far too good a move for the
:33:15. > :33:23.Fulham defender. Here's Yaya Toure. To make it 2-0. And does! It looks
:33:24. > :33:30.like becoming a routine victory for Manchester City. 53 minutes on the
:33:31. > :33:36.clock. Manchester City lead it with two Toure penalties. Exactly the
:33:37. > :33:40.same penalty as the first. 19goals from midfield this season.
:33:41. > :33:42.Manchester City get another in the next five or six minutes they could
:33:43. > :33:55.end up with five or six. Here's Kolarov, away from Roberts.
:33:56. > :34:02.Unlucky as he brought down the Manchester City player. Nasri, from
:34:03. > :34:07.the short tap free-kick. A hat-trick! Oh, what a beauty!
:34:08. > :34:15.Hat-trick, Yaya Toure. That was special. Set his sights. That must
:34:16. > :34:21.have started a yard outside the post. It bent back absolutely
:34:22. > :34:27.deliciously. What a belter. That has to be a candidate for Goal of the
:34:28. > :34:34.Season. Yaya Toure three, Fulham nil. What does he have at his
:34:35. > :34:45.disposal to keep Fulham up? It's looking bleak. Roberts, a bit naive.
:34:46. > :34:50.Negredo. Well done, young Roberts. Apologised for his error. Good
:34:51. > :35:01.challenge in the end. Milner, look at the space for Fernandinho. Beyond
:35:02. > :35:09.Kvist. There is the drive. It's a stupendous fourth. 84 minutes gone.
:35:10. > :35:15.Look at the space. He exploded the finish. 4-0, Manchester City. Just
:35:16. > :35:21.the reminder they needed to dish out to Chelsea - they're not giving up
:35:22. > :35:26.on the race yet. I think what Manchester City would want now, more
:35:27. > :35:30.than anything, is for Negredo to get amongst the scorers. They need
:35:31. > :35:36.Negredo with confidence again going into the away games to come. Milner,
:35:37. > :35:40.back to him. Oh, good save, Stockdale. Kept him Seve letter,
:35:41. > :35:56.even though they are 4-0 down and pulled off a big stop there. Milner,
:35:57. > :36:06.rudimentary stuff this. Fernandinho. Stockdale deflect off Demontagnac.
:36:07. > :36:11.Well, he has been -- Demichelis Demichelis. He has been criticised
:36:12. > :36:16.this season. He has had a good week, Demichelis, brilliant at Hull.
:36:17. > :36:34.Milner. Worked really hard. A bit of showboating going on.
:36:35. > :36:39.Sidwell. Bit of showboating going on there. It was missed horribly. He
:36:40. > :36:46.just can't buy a goal. That would have been an awful moment for Steve
:36:47. > :36:55.Sidwell. Negredo's goal drought goes on. It was not easy to create a
:36:56. > :37:00.space. I think we have the patience to move the ball. The penalty comes.
:37:01. > :37:06.In the second-half I think we played really well. Unfortunate when you
:37:07. > :37:13.gift the first penalty, for my opinion it was not a penalty. So the
:37:14. > :37:21.team does not seem to believe that we can win after the first goal. How
:37:22. > :37:25.many hat-tricks have you scored in your career? I think it's an easy
:37:26. > :37:33.question because there is only one time I have scored in my career. I'm
:37:34. > :37:36.very delighted. Today I get lucky. Two penalties is enough to score.
:37:37. > :37:39.Very happy for the team. I think it's very important for the
:37:40. > :37:45.confidence for the next game. We need to play well on Tuesday if we
:37:46. > :37:49.are going to add three more points. From tomorrow we will start thinking
:37:50. > :37:53.in Manchester tonight. Very important to go game by game. Game
:37:54. > :37:58.coming up. Leo, you watched that game. It became very much the Yaya
:37:59. > :38:02.Toure show didn't it? I think it was another Yaya Toure show because a
:38:03. > :38:07.lot of matches that he is deciding the match. You can see, what is
:38:08. > :38:12.clear, as everything turns around him. You know, all the action starts
:38:13. > :38:16.with him. It's difficult to start with the central defenders. They
:38:17. > :38:24.looking for him all the time. You can see even the stats have 92% of
:38:25. > :38:30.pass competition. It's 78 passes. It's more than any other player for
:38:31. > :38:34.Manchester City. I think he has something very special. He plays
:38:35. > :38:39.always in the same speed. He never change so much his speed. He's
:38:40. > :38:45.everywhere. I think he take position very well. He's always in the right
:38:46. > :38:50.place. In defence and in attack. That is why he is the third
:38:51. > :38:55.goalscorer in Premier League behind Suarez and Sturridge. That is
:38:56. > :38:59.amazing, incredible. Today he's one of the best midfielders in the
:39:00. > :39:04.world. Then the personality I think he has. It's top, top, top. You can
:39:05. > :39:09.see, when you have players looking for you all the time you feel the
:39:10. > :39:13.captain, you feel the number one. A special goal that last one? He is a
:39:14. > :39:20.top, top player. Very good at everything. He must be overshadowed
:39:21. > :39:27.Fernandinho. The Fernandinho, talk about Yaya Toure. Fernandinho grew
:39:28. > :39:29.up a lochlt I think the move from Schalke to Manchester City is
:39:30. > :39:33.important to him in that moment. I think he will be in the 11 for the
:39:34. > :39:39.World Cup of Brazil. To see him. City's next four games, Alan, it is
:39:40. > :39:44.a really defining time? I way games aren't bad, are they? No mistakes
:39:45. > :39:48.allowed now, is there. They are in the final furlong now. It's a big,
:39:49. > :39:54.big time for all the top teams. You can't afford any. Time to tell you
:39:55. > :40:20.what's on Match of the Day 2. Before that, Manish is back with the
:40:21. > :40:25.Football League Show, that follows us on BBC One. It is on the iPlayer
:40:26. > :40:29.all week. Off to Upton Park now as we get ready to unleash our Sport
:40:30. > :40:33.Relief pundit. West Ham fan Russell Brand is waiting in the wings. Could
:40:34. > :40:36.the Hammers make it four straight wins in the league for the first
:40:37. > :40:39.time since 2002? They faced a Manchester United side bouyed by
:40:40. > :40:46.that Champions League victory in midweek. Simon Brotherton was
:40:47. > :40:51.watching. James Collins returns to West Ham's starting line-up. He
:40:52. > :40:57.scored both goals in the Cup tie between the sides. David Moyes made
:40:58. > :41:07.half a dozen changes today with the injured Robin van Persie and Vidic
:41:08. > :41:15.suspended. There are rare starts for Kagawa, Fletcher and young. West Ham
:41:16. > :42:00.have won the last three at home in the league. They
:42:01. > :42:07.Sam Allardyce in the middle who received the February Manager of the
:42:08. > :42:13.Month award, half an hour before the kick-off.
:42:14. > :42:21.It's away. Here is Rooney with the turn. Rooney goes for the
:42:22. > :42:25.extraordinary. Oh, it is an unbelievable goal from Wayne Rooney.
:42:26. > :42:29.Spectacular from Wayne Rooney. There is one for the album. There is a man
:42:30. > :42:35.who knows how to score goals like that. Just as he did against
:42:36. > :42:40.Wimbledon all those years ago. David Beckham, on-the-spot, to see Wayne
:42:41. > :42:46.Rooney come up with a very special moment for Manchester United.
:42:47. > :42:51.Tomkins beaten. Rooney's improvisation catching out Adrian.
:42:52. > :42:55.The goalkeeper completely disorientated there. He scored some
:42:56. > :42:59.spectacular goals in his career, hasn't he, Wayne Rooney, that one in
:43:00. > :43:05.the Derby against Manchester City springs to mind. That one was right
:43:06. > :43:14.up there. What an extraordinary goal. We haven't seen him celebrate
:43:15. > :43:24.like that many times this season. Another one to have enjoyed that
:43:25. > :43:39.goal, no doubt, the England manage Roy Hodgson. Carroll with the header
:43:40. > :43:46.int the grateful goalkeeper's arms. Bet ter for West Ham. Here come West
:43:47. > :43:52.Ham once again with Diame. The wall does it is job. Away go Manchester
:43:53. > :44:01.United. Ashley Young heading towards the far-post. Rooney with the ball
:44:02. > :44:08.back. It could be a chance format Mata. Saved! A West Ham free-kick.
:44:09. > :44:15.Manchester United looking for that second goal. Rooney scorer of the
:44:16. > :44:20.first, almost creating the second. Mata shot beaten away by the
:44:21. > :44:27.goalkeeper. Two defeats in a row on the road for West Ham. It was a
:44:28. > :44:33.tremendous run last month, 12-points out of 12. Downing keeping it in.
:44:34. > :44:39.West Ham appealing for a penalty for a challenge made I think by Darren
:44:40. > :44:43.Fletcher on Kevin Nolan. Lee Mason waves play on. Here comes Manchester
:44:44. > :44:51.United on the counter with Ashley Young. Rooney is in the box. Kagawa
:44:52. > :44:55.too. Rooney, with the easest goal he will score all season. It was almost
:44:56. > :45:00.a ricochet as Noble cleared it first time. Straight into Rooney's path.
:45:01. > :45:05.Two goals for Wayne Rooney, inside 33 minutes, Manchester United lead
:45:06. > :45:08.2-0. That second goal came just seconds after West Ham claimed that
:45:09. > :45:11.they should have had a penalty. Here's the goal though. Rooney
:45:12. > :45:16.involved in the build-up as well as the finish. Having fed it out to
:45:17. > :45:20.Ashley Young. Look at this. Noble stick it is straight in his path. It
:45:21. > :45:27.was on a plate. Wayne Rooney gobbled up the opportunity. 2-0. Here's the
:45:28. > :45:32.penalty claim at the other end. Nolan went down under pressure from
:45:33. > :45:36.Fletcher. Manchester United straight up to the other end of the field to
:45:37. > :45:40.double their lead. The gap between the penalty appeal at one end of the
:45:41. > :45:45.field and the goal at the other just 20 seconds.
:45:46. > :45:53.Manchester United looking for a ninth away win of the season. Rooney
:45:54. > :46:00.wins the first corner of the second-half. West Ham United with
:46:01. > :46:06.some defending to do already. Here's Mata. Better angle for Ashley Young
:46:07. > :46:11.to curl that in. Adrian right behind it. Going into this one 48 points
:46:12. > :46:14.from 29 games for Manchester United. Their lowest ever points total at
:46:15. > :46:16.this stage of a Premier League season. In a good position to
:46:17. > :46:27.collect three more here so far. He thought about coming, but thought
:46:28. > :46:32.better of it. It's cleared away. There haven't been too many anxious
:46:33. > :46:33.moments in a while in this game for Manchester United. Nearly one there
:46:34. > :46:44.as the ball came over. Fellaini, finding Ashley Young. Here
:46:45. > :46:46.come Manchester United now. The touch by Welbeck forward to
:46:47. > :46:51.Fellaini. Fellaini looked as if he was pulled back there. Manchester
:46:52. > :46:56.United looking for a penalty. Lee Mason runs away and says, no, that
:46:57. > :47:05.was quite a tussle as Fellaini raced forward there with Nocerino who made
:47:06. > :47:08.the tackle. A comfortable win for Manchester United and David Miliband
:47:09. > :47:18.David Moyes. He made six changes and it worked out well. What about that
:47:19. > :47:28.goal? I think everybody flashed back to David Beckhams goal. He is a top
:47:29. > :47:31.player, a great goal. I was complaining about the free kick on
:47:32. > :47:35.the Tompkins. I am 100% convinced Lee Mason and
:47:36. > :47:41.the assistant referees should have given a free kick before that
:47:42. > :47:46.unbelievable bit of skill. It wouldn't have come to that had the
:47:47. > :47:51.referee done his job. You have to see the opportunity never mind it
:47:52. > :48:01.off. I have tried it a few times in my career. Luckily enough today, it
:48:02. > :48:09.went in. Where does it sit in your gallery of goals? I don't know. It
:48:10. > :48:19.is really the importance of the game. A good result against
:48:20. > :48:24.Olympiakos as well. Things are looking brighter for Manchester
:48:25. > :48:28.United. Russell, welcome to Match Of The Day, it is great to have you
:48:29. > :48:37.along with us. I am sorry about your team, West Ham. I am honoured to be
:48:38. > :48:45.here alongside you all. One place to start, the Wayne Rooney goal. It was
:48:46. > :48:49.something special. Great vision, great technique. He doesn't even
:48:50. > :49:00.look up and he knows where the goalkeeper is. Russell is tried to
:49:01. > :49:04.tell me this is a foul, by the way. I would ask by the centre half has
:49:05. > :49:13.not been stronger. That is sensational. We haven't seen that
:49:14. > :49:18.injustice since the dark days of Jack the Ripper. And there is David
:49:19. > :49:26.Becker who scored a somewhat similar goal. Both were unbelievable goals,
:49:27. > :49:32.the technique is brilliant. We will discuss this. Rooney has the most
:49:33. > :49:40.difficult, it is on the volley. It is easier, I don't say that
:49:41. > :49:49.lightly, but the volley is more difficult. Rooney, if you had to
:49:50. > :49:55.choose. Leo? David Beckhams is more beautiful, directly into the goal. I
:49:56. > :50:05.agree with Alan, it is more difficult. And very fast. David has
:50:06. > :50:14.time for the shot. Rooney, it was instinct. Russell, where do you
:50:15. > :50:17.stand? David Beckhams goal is beautiful and iconic. There was some
:50:18. > :50:26.terrible elbow work, no thanks to you. I would have to say David
:50:27. > :50:36.Beckham. And a better bonnet! Ultimately, we have to focus on the
:50:37. > :50:39.injustices -- barnet. Which is the better goal? Rooney's,
:50:40. > :50:42.or Beckham's? Go to the BBC Sport website to cast your vote. Or tweet
:50:43. > :50:44.either #Rooney, or #Beckham, to @bbcmotd. We'll give the result at
:50:45. > :50:57.the end of the programme. We brought you into watch
:50:58. > :51:04.specifically West Ham. Did you feel the performance was 1-dimensional?
:51:05. > :51:12.They start brilliantly here. Incredible control. A lovely ball
:51:13. > :51:19.into Carroll. With the grace that comes to define his game, he gets up
:51:20. > :51:23.very well. Diame, he stays on his feet. He refuses to go down despite
:51:24. > :51:32.the belligerence of Manchester United. Global Crossing that ball
:51:33. > :51:37.in. It is not working. Where I think west ham are lacking, is support for
:51:38. > :51:44.Carroll. A player with some parable pace, to hang around the six yard
:51:45. > :51:47.box. Similar to yourself, Gary. Not relying on Nolan who sometimes
:51:48. > :52:01.cannot keep up. That was fortunate there. This clip has been brought in
:52:02. > :52:06.to show West Ham. Leo was commenting on the socks of Sam Allardyce! A
:52:07. > :52:11.good turnaround for Manchester United and David Moyes, a couple of
:52:12. > :52:17.good results which they need. A good few days for them. A good
:52:18. > :52:24.performance. Today, they did the job, got off to a great start. Never
:52:25. > :52:31.in any danger. What is the view on the constant of David Moyes? It is a
:52:32. > :52:37.hard job for him after Ferguson. When you lose a big player, you feel
:52:38. > :52:49.you are weaker than before. Ferguson is like this. The team are looking
:52:50. > :52:56.for answers. Now, it is different. I think Olympiakos and the match
:52:57. > :53:02.today, will turn the situation. Do you think David Moyes is up to
:53:03. > :53:09.the task? He needs a little bit more time, I suppose. These last two
:53:10. > :53:14.results, against Olympiakos, and West Ham today, Lee Mason the
:53:15. > :53:18.referee, in spite of looking like Phil Mitchell, has done a great
:53:19. > :53:30.discredit to the people of East end. And you are a ringer for him!
:53:31. > :53:36.Interesting that West Ham have stuck by their manager this season. Some
:53:37. > :53:43.clubs haven't. Ultimately, he has guided them to safety. I think so,
:53:44. > :53:48.that value system ultimately pays dividends. Clubs have got rid of
:53:49. > :53:54.their managers when they have been struggling. Are you happy with him?
:53:55. > :54:02.There are things which can improve. He is a strong fellow and a good
:54:03. > :54:07.bloke. West Ham seem stronger. I would say it would be nice to see
:54:08. > :54:12.the addition of a faster paced player for Carroll. Did you see me
:54:13. > :54:18.there analysing! Don't forget you can still donate to
:54:19. > :54:20.Sport Relief. More than ?51 million raised so far. Go to:
:54:21. > :54:22.bbc.co.uk/sport relief. Hard to believe we're only half-way
:54:23. > :54:44.through the show. Sunderland began the day in the
:54:45. > :54:48.bottom three, but with at least two games in hand over their relegation
:54:49. > :54:49.rivals. Today, they faced a Norwich side themselves in trouble, but
:54:50. > :55:00.unbeaten in five at home. Martin Fisher was at Carrow Road.
:55:01. > :55:07.Five changes for Norwich including a new look strikeforce of Elmander and
:55:08. > :55:12.van Wolfswinkel who managed only two Premier League goals between them
:55:13. > :55:17.this season. Equally goal shy, Altidore, whose only League strike
:55:18. > :55:18.came in December, joins the attack with Fletcher ruled out with an
:55:19. > :55:33.ankle injury. Hoolahan. Doreen Johnson off the
:55:34. > :55:44.scent. Picking up also. A dangerous ball, Snodgrass! 1-0 Norwich. Great
:55:45. > :55:50.vision by Elmander to pick out Snodgrass, and Norwich are rewarded
:55:51. > :55:54.with a bright start to the contest. Initially, excellent work from
:55:55. > :56:00.Hoolahan. Watch the hesitancy from O'Shea, as the cross came in. He
:56:01. > :56:05.should not be leaving that. Clearance by Brown, Snodgrass with a
:56:06. > :56:08.calm pass into the corner of the Sunderland net. Kamikaze defending
:56:09. > :56:15.from the visitors. Coolness personified by Snodgrass.
:56:16. > :56:29.First strike, Norwich City. Hoolahan has the better of Bardsley.
:56:30. > :56:33.Van Wolfswinkel, he has missed its! What a chance for the man who hasn't
:56:34. > :56:37.scored since the opening day of the season. Maybe this is why he hasn't
:56:38. > :56:43.scored for that long. He hasn't got that goal touch in him this season.
:56:44. > :56:52.Elmander, Kenny turned quickly enough, and setting up Hoolahan.
:56:53. > :56:58.Held up by O'Shea. Brown clearing. Olsson gets the better of Johnson.
:56:59. > :57:06.Hoolahan with four players to aim for. Tettey, what a shock, what a
:57:07. > :57:11.goal! Tettey. Would you believe it, that is his first ever goal in the
:57:12. > :57:20.Premier League. It has been worth the wait. What a strike. Alexander
:57:21. > :57:25.Tettey. Awesome from the Norwegian. Two - zero Norwich, and nobody can
:57:26. > :57:34.complain that Chris Huhne's team do not deserve that kind of lead. --
:57:35. > :57:35.Chris Huhne. I don't think I have ever seen him show so much
:57:36. > :57:50.animation. Larson has picked out Altidore,
:57:51. > :57:57.holding it up nicely. Dropping for Borini. A good save. The double
:57:58. > :58:01.change by Gus Poyet very nearly paid dividends immediately. The first
:58:02. > :58:27.real Nassima Saifi has had to make. -- save that Ruddy has had to make.
:58:28. > :58:32.In the fall van Wolfswinkel. Another fantastic chance. And the Dutchman
:58:33. > :58:43.has missed it again. This time, Mannone was required.
:58:44. > :58:49.Alonso is well forward. Winning the corner off Martin. A set piece might
:58:50. > :58:52.be their best chance of getting onto the score cheat. They haven't had
:58:53. > :59:07.much from open play. The cross by Johnson, and a fabulous
:59:08. > :59:14.save. He couldn't have seen this until very late and very close. A
:59:15. > :59:16.magnificent save to keep out Brown. Emotional improvement from
:59:17. > :59:21.Sunderland in the second half, they have seen more of the ball. But
:59:22. > :59:34.Norwich are still very much in control. Snodgrass. A little push by
:59:35. > :59:44.Alonso. A free kick. There is the push. He will have a yellow card.
:59:45. > :59:49.And the kicking out after the whistle had gone. Sunderland have
:59:50. > :59:56.got it all to do to have any chance of staying up. Alonso providing whip
:59:57. > :00:01.again, cut out bayou bow full stop Norwich are determined to keep
:00:02. > :00:05.another clean sheet -- cut out by Yobo.
:00:06. > :00:13.Away by Houston, who was being fouled anyway. -- Howson. The card
:00:14. > :00:20.has come out, a second yellow for Alonso, and he is off. Watch the
:00:21. > :00:32.hand of Alonso, he virtually punched it away. How foolish do you want to
:00:33. > :00:37.be? A day to forget for Sunderland. In the end, it was important we got
:00:38. > :00:42.the win. The manner is important. If that doesn't give us often is,
:00:43. > :00:52.nothing will. We were excellent from the start.
:00:53. > :01:00.We will not competing enough. We needed a goal. I think that was an
:01:01. > :01:08.unbelievable save. Disappointed with this. We have seen some wonderful
:01:09. > :01:15.goals this evening, Leo. Alexander Tettey added to that, a
:01:16. > :01:26.marvellous effort. This was incredible. With power and
:01:27. > :01:39.a bit of luck and courage. Amazing goal. He has set himself a high
:01:40. > :01:44.standard. Absolutely brilliant. No chance.
:01:45. > :01:50.That is their home form. Norwich stuck by their manager, we talked
:01:51. > :01:54.about Sam Allardyce in the previous bit. It appears to have paid off.
:01:55. > :02:00.They have a tough end to the season. They need to get safe prior to that.
:02:01. > :02:04.Their next game is Swansea away and their next home game is West Brom.
:02:05. > :02:09.If they win that, that will be them safe. Two or three weekingst people
:02:10. > :02:13.were you will calling for Chris Hughton to be sacked. Nonsense. He
:02:14. > :02:17.is doing a good job. Sometimes I wonder what they expect down there.
:02:18. > :02:21.There a greater patience on the continent with managers. You have
:02:22. > :02:26.been a coach and been in charge of the coaches. Is there a bit more
:02:27. > :02:31.patience abroad, or is it pretty much universal? I don't know. I
:02:32. > :02:40.think that football passion, sometimes there is no logic. It's a
:02:41. > :02:46.relationship of the players and even sometimes have some luck, some keys
:02:47. > :02:55.to change situations quickly. Sunderland, are they playing for
:02:56. > :02:59.their Cup ex exploits? It can work as it gives you confidence. They
:03:00. > :03:03.relax in the Cup games and unpressure and stressed and not
:03:04. > :03:09.paying to their potential in the league games. They are in big
:03:10. > :03:13.trouble. Certainly are now. Everton have never lost against Swansea in
:03:14. > :03:16.any competition. Could Blues boss Roberto Martinez continue that run
:03:17. > :03:19.against one of his former clubs? The visitors have won just twice in the
:03:20. > :03:25.last 15. Alistair Mann was at Goodison Park. He was the match
:03:26. > :03:30.winner at Swansea in December with a stunning late free-kick, today, Ross
:03:31. > :03:39.Barkley is recalled to the starting 11. McGeady, the other alteration.
:03:40. > :03:45.Three changes for the visitors including Chico Flores who was
:03:46. > :03:54.suspended post weekend -- last weekend's damaging defeat.
:03:55. > :04:02.Mirallas, Lukaku gets there. Williams take it is from him. Back
:04:03. > :04:06.into the possession of Coleman. Stones goes for the long ball, he
:04:07. > :04:12.didn't intend, but mansion to find Barkley. Is that a foul by Flores?
:04:13. > :04:19.Yes, it was. Penalty. A degree of fortune about the ball through for
:04:20. > :04:24.Barkley. I'm pretty sure that Stones was hacking it away. Barkley tricked
:04:25. > :04:28.Chico Flores into a little lunge towards him. Once he missed the ball
:04:29. > :04:40.and caught the man, Michael Oliver said - penalty. Baines strokes it
:04:41. > :04:44.confidently beyond Michel Vorm. Everton take the lead. The visitors
:04:45. > :04:51.find themselves trailing at Goodison Park. They have never EVER won
:04:52. > :04:57.against Everton. Everton are off to the ideal start to maintain that
:04:58. > :05:02.record. He has some problems. He has admitted that his Swansea side are
:05:03. > :05:06.in a fight now. Roberto Martinez, who worked with Garry Monk when he
:05:07. > :05:18.was at Swansea. The two of them are still in contact today. Here's
:05:19. > :05:24.Hernandez. Lovely ball. Routledge. Routledge goes to the right. Lovely
:05:25. > :05:30.ball. Rangel. Turned in by Bonnie. Swansea level. Fabulously well
:05:31. > :05:36.worked goal. It is all level again. You can strays that back to a lovely
:05:37. > :05:43.cross field ball that brought Routledge in. His ball to Rangel was
:05:44. > :05:47.equally accurate. He tees up Bony. Swansea are back level, and for the
:05:48. > :05:53.first time in Swansea's Premier League history, they have a
:05:54. > :05:59.goalscorer against Everton, his name is Wilfred Bony. Dyer, with time to
:06:00. > :06:05.pick out the right ball. He takes on Baines. Free-kick to Swansea, who
:06:06. > :06:12.are ending the half in control. They are offering great menace to the
:06:13. > :06:17.Everton net. It's the right foot and the deflection, it could have take
:06:18. > :06:20.it anywhere. Howard was completely wrong-footed. This could easily have
:06:21. > :06:38.gone into the net. Swansea very close to taking the lead. Here's
:06:39. > :06:43.Barkley. Gets beyond kran yas. Canas. Here is Lukaku. Williams in
:06:44. > :06:49.front of him. He treads on the ball at a vital moment. Still he retains
:06:50. > :06:59.possession though. Mirallas now. And, turned in by Lukaku! Well, it
:07:00. > :07:03.looked as though Everton had lost the impetuous of that move. With
:07:04. > :07:08.Flores out of position, Lukaku got to the near-post and turned it in.
:07:09. > :07:11.Lukaku appeared to have stopped every tonne's advance really when he
:07:12. > :07:18.trod on the ball. He managed to prod it to Mirallas. Mirallas found
:07:19. > :07:21.Lukaku. Chico Flores, who had gone forward at the previous attack, was
:07:22. > :07:29.only just getting back into position and couldn't get to Lukaku in time.
:07:30. > :07:37.Thumped away by Howard up towards Barkley. It arrives at the feet of
:07:38. > :07:45.McGeady. McGeady, still going. Still with McGeady. Corner. He really is a
:07:46. > :07:51.classic ringer, McGeady. Stones is up from the back.
:07:52. > :08:02.It's turned in by Barkley. Well, it's a much more promising situation
:08:03. > :08:07.now for Everton. Two quick goals conceded by Swansea City. Some
:08:08. > :08:12.pretty ordinary defending. Lukaku went for the near-post flick. He
:08:13. > :08:18.missed it, and it just arrived for Barkley to nudge over the line
:08:19. > :08:23.Andros Barkley, who scored the winner at Swansea, may well have
:08:24. > :08:25.contributed to an Everton win today. Garry Monk's side looking destined
:08:26. > :08:41.for another defeat. Here's Bony. Hernandez. Bony! Great save from
:08:42. > :08:46.Howard. Excellent reactions from the goalkeeper. Howard flung himself to
:08:47. > :08:52.his right and made a really good Parry, which managed to take away
:08:53. > :09:01.from the goal as well -- parry. Swansea by no means having given up
:09:02. > :09:06.this one. Shelvey, onside, had Hernandez. Good spread by Tim Howard
:09:07. > :09:14.to get his body in the way. Another vital stop from him.
:09:15. > :09:25.Pablo Hernandez, faced by Baines. Wins the corner.
:09:26. > :09:30.Attack by Williams, and scored by Williams. Well, they will reflect on
:09:31. > :09:34.those missed opportunities which could have brought them back into
:09:35. > :09:39.this game earlier. A couple of good saves by Tim Howard, which means
:09:40. > :09:45.this Williams header has only halved the deficit. It's 3-2. It was
:09:46. > :09:48.pleasing the way we combined together very good moment. Players
:09:49. > :09:53.are fresh and looking forward to every game. Nine games to go. We
:09:54. > :09:57.need to make sure we take advantage of every single point we can get.
:09:58. > :10:03.Played well at times and had great chances. That five minute spell
:10:04. > :10:08.where you concede two did for you in the end? When you have a period when
:10:09. > :10:11.you come to teams in Everton, in any game, the opposition will have a
:10:12. > :10:15.good sustained period of pressure and it's about managing it properly,
:10:16. > :10:19.doing the right decisions, making the right things and getting in the
:10:20. > :10:23.right positions and dealing with it, if it has to be ugly and doing the
:10:24. > :10:28.basics properly. We didn't manage to do it in those five minutes, it cost
:10:29. > :10:32.us dearly. We are not in the position we would like to be. That
:10:33. > :10:35.is the reality. We know now is the moment to obviously work hard for
:10:36. > :10:40.each other, scrap for everything. And, there is nothing else, you
:10:41. > :10:44.know. If you get sloppy, you know what is going to happen. You will
:10:45. > :10:49.ghet trouble. We have eight games until the end, every game will be
:10:50. > :10:54.like a Cup final for us. It me, but it seems all the England young
:10:55. > :10:59.players and players generally are coming into form. We saw it tonight,
:11:00. > :11:03.Ross Barkley excellent? Sturridge, Rooney. I hope they are not burning
:11:04. > :11:08.themselves out. This is what I like about this kid already. He is 20
:11:09. > :11:12.years of age. He can go inside and down-the-line. Defenders haven't a
:11:13. > :11:17.clue where he will go. Equally comfortable going where he wants to
:11:18. > :11:20.go. Clear penalty. Faced up to him. Rash challenge, definite penalty.
:11:21. > :11:25.Look at his movement. A yard. Enough for him to get... He should get it
:11:26. > :11:31.on target. Maybe he just discovered you might get three or four goals
:11:32. > :11:37.every season loitering in and around the goalkeeper. You used to do that
:11:38. > :11:41.for years. Guaranteed? Quaranteed four or five goals a season standing
:11:42. > :11:44.in that position. England are developing good, young players. Can
:11:45. > :11:49.you see them making it all the way, Leo? Is I think in the history of
:11:50. > :11:56.the English football players a lot of very good players, but if I have
:11:57. > :12:00.to be honest, I think sometimes it misses something, they lost the
:12:01. > :12:04.step, perhaps the personality. Players like Ronaldo, messy,
:12:05. > :12:09.Ronaldo, they believe they are better than what they are. So, this
:12:10. > :12:13.step is very important. Sometimes not to be only say things or be a
:12:14. > :12:20.good player for the team. Sometimes this kind of player have to be
:12:21. > :12:30.egotist to be the best player in the world. Sometimes the English too
:12:31. > :12:43.shy. Bunch. Sometimes you have to be arrogant. I think it is missing a
:12:44. > :12:47.bit in the English players. . Hull City are without a win in their last
:12:48. > :12:50.five league games at the KC Stadium. Today's visitors, West Brom, knew
:12:51. > :12:53.victory would see them overtake Steve Bruce's side and ease their
:12:54. > :12:57.relegation worries. Martin Fisher was watching. West Brom got money in
:12:58. > :13:01.the bank when they stronghold Shane Long to Hull in January, will it
:13:02. > :13:06.cost them dear in the longer term? Today Long faces his old club for
:13:07. > :13:09.the first time since his move. Albion won without him for the first
:13:10. > :13:19.time since then a week ago. Mulumbu's late goal at Swansea got
:13:20. > :13:26.peppy Mel off the -- Pepe Mel off the mark. Bruce versus Mel.
:13:27. > :13:36.Hull need to buck their ideas up in the league. They have lost seven of
:13:37. > :13:44.their last ten, two wins during that time in 2014.
:13:45. > :13:54.Dorrans. Beaten away by McGregor. Hull fans have just launched a loud
:13:55. > :14:07.shout aimed towards the director's box. "We're Hull City, we're keeping
:14:08. > :14:12.our name." Now Jelavic. Keeps it in. Long is there in front of Dawson.
:14:13. > :14:24.Down under the challenge of Dawson. It is a penalty. Albion furious. The
:14:25. > :14:29.referee viewed that Shane Long is fouled. Long reacted quicker than
:14:30. > :14:32.Dawson. Then what? Was he being held back? Were the heels clipped? I
:14:33. > :14:36.think Long mile might have manufacturered that one for himself.
:14:37. > :14:41.Now Hull have the chance to take the lead through Jelavic. He is looking
:14:42. > :14:49.to score his first goal for Hull at the KC Stadium. Saved! Rebound is in
:14:50. > :14:59.though. Followed up quite brilliant. Liam Rosenior was in so
:15:00. > :15:03.quickly, Rosenior of all people. The ball pops up from the air from his
:15:04. > :15:10.outstretched arm. Look at Rosenior. He runs from deep. He doesn't break
:15:11. > :15:16.stride. It's his first Tigers strike. It's Hull City 1, West Brom
:15:17. > :15:28.0. Goal one in game 133 for the club.
:15:29. > :15:39.It's a super save from Ben Foster. That shot was flying in. Huddlestone
:15:40. > :15:49.met that as clean as a whistle. Foster flies into the air to keep it
:15:50. > :15:54.1-0 for now. A corner. Away from Jelavic, by Dawson. Still might be a
:15:55. > :16:00.chance. It is. It's 2-0 to Hull City. Shane Long has scored. Mobbed
:16:01. > :16:04.by his team-mates. He was trying not to celebrate in front of those
:16:05. > :16:08.Albion fans. Wouldn't have made any difference. He is Public Enemy
:16:09. > :16:15.Number One as it is. It's goal number two for Hull City. Great
:16:16. > :16:20.cheer from the Hull fans as his name is read out as the goalscorer.
:16:21. > :16:23.Albion's defence just didn't deal with that well enough. Nowhere near
:16:24. > :16:27.well enough. Hopeful loop back in from Livermore. Look at that,
:16:28. > :16:30.Ridgewell can't jump. It's nodded down to Long. Poacher's finished.
:16:31. > :16:56.Hull City 12, West Brom 0. He got in front of his defensive
:16:57. > :17:02.opponent, Curtis Davies macro, but it seems the last touch was from the
:17:03. > :17:08.Hull man. Dorrans with the corner. The pair of them keep it away.
:17:09. > :17:13.Anichebe's header and it was Rosenior on the post. That is why
:17:14. > :17:17.you have a man there. We have pouring rain, bright sunshine, there
:17:18. > :17:21.will be a rainbow somewhere. The pot of gold at the end of it, he thinks
:17:22. > :17:36.only if City become Tigers. Only the frame of the goal keeps him
:17:37. > :17:54.out. You just knew he would play a huge part in proceedings today.
:17:55. > :18:03.He is down, just inside the box, but no decision. Chris Foy was right
:18:04. > :18:08.there. Let's have a look. A swing of the leg. I venture to suggest it
:18:09. > :18:12.might have been a soft one, but having seen the one that was given
:18:13. > :18:17.earlier, you think that one should have been given as well. Neuer-macro
:18:18. > :18:22.the controversial moment, was it a penalty? It is possible. The referee
:18:23. > :18:32.whistled. I think it is the same situation in the box, Morrison, a
:18:33. > :18:37.bad decision for the referee. Chris Foy is eight yards away and for me
:18:38. > :18:42.at the time, Long gets straight back up and it is a bit soft. Tell me
:18:43. > :18:47.about your goal, the first for Hull City? I have had to macro kids since
:18:48. > :18:51.my last one! I am not a goal-scorer! They are giving me a
:18:52. > :18:56.bit of stick but I am delighted I have scored. We have got the win.
:18:57. > :18:59.bit of stick but I am delighted I have scored. We have got the There
:19:00. > :19:02.was a lot of scrutiny when West Brom sold Shane Long to Hull City in the
:19:03. > :19:06.January window and there will probably be more now. So there
:19:07. > :19:12.should be, he is a very good player. He runs all day long. I am not sure
:19:13. > :19:17.this is a penalty. Steve Bruce is right, Long gets straight up. Look
:19:18. > :19:21.at that for a run from Rosenior. 20 or 30 yards out, the referee could
:19:22. > :19:25.not pull him back. A good performance, he made the
:19:26. > :19:30.difference, Long. Stays onside, clever, a clever finish in the
:19:31. > :19:34.corner. His eye on the ball, he does not take it off it once. A very good
:19:35. > :19:40.finish. I was very surprised when West Brom sold him because I am a
:19:41. > :19:44.fan of his. I like the way he links up play and scores goals but he is a
:19:45. > :19:48.nuisance for defenders because he is nonstop, running in behind. Crystal
:19:49. > :19:52.Palace have scored just once in their last five games on the road.
:19:53. > :19:57.Newcastle have scored just once in their last five games at home. It
:19:58. > :19:58.did not bode well, but stick with it. John Roder was at St James'
:19:59. > :20:10.Park. The north-east is not a happy
:20:11. > :20:19.hunting ground for Tony Pulis. He has not scored for this season, Remy
:20:20. > :20:25.remains injured. Jerome replaces Glenn Murray and Jason Puncheon
:20:26. > :20:28.comes in for Tom Ince. John Carver continues to deputise for Alan
:20:29. > :20:36.Pardew. It is the second of his three match stadium ban.

:21:01. > :21:18.good save from Speroni. Appeals for hand ball. Here is

:21:41. > :21:44.Newcastle spectators, it has to be said, in the latter instance.
:21:45. > :21:51.Newcastle appealing here, as the ball went down. Mike Ashley has not
:21:52. > :21:59.been the most frequent visitors but he is here this afternoon.
:22:00. > :22:07.Bolasie goes for goal and is not too far wide with the effort. Yannick
:22:08. > :22:11.Bolasie has not scored for over a year. Just able to cut inside the
:22:12. > :22:21.fullback. Newcastle are relieved it went over.
:22:22. > :22:32.Bolasie! Of the top of the crossbar and the closest we have come to a
:22:33. > :22:36.goal in this match -- off the top of the crossbar. Twisting and turning
:22:37. > :22:45.to create the room for the shot, so close to scoring.
:22:46. > :22:54.Trying to find seaside, who is onside. Speroni box with his legs
:22:55. > :23:07.and Ward should be able to tidy up. Speroni keeps it level at 0-0.
:23:08. > :23:19.Just over. I header from Cisse. Good play from Ben Arfa. Again, it is off
:23:20. > :23:22.target and it does seem as though we could be playing until midnight
:23:23. > :23:29.tonight and neither of these two sides would be able to score. Nobody
:23:30. > :23:34.in a position for Tiote to play at Ford, so he decides to go for goal
:23:35. > :23:40.but off the bar. Yanga-Mbiwa and it could not be turned in, right at the
:23:41. > :23:47.death by Papiss Cisse. What a chance for Newcastle to win it! Rob Tiote
:23:48. > :23:51.with the shot, it crashes against the bar and when it is played across
:23:52. > :24:02.the penalty area Papiss Cisse can't apply the finishing touch.
:24:03. > :24:11.Palace fans are appealing for a hand ball. Not given. A minimum of three
:24:12. > :24:12.additional minutes to be played and boast three minutes have come to an
:24:13. > :24:26.end now. Cold then -- Coldingham, Papiss
:24:27. > :24:32.Cisse with a last gasp winner for Newcastle! They have won it right at
:24:33. > :24:35.the end! It is a sickener for Tony Pulis and Crystal Palace. They
:24:36. > :24:40.thought they had done enough for a point but Ben Arfa, with the ball
:24:41. > :24:55.into the middle, and Papiss Cisse able to turn it past Speroni.
:24:56. > :25:04.The goal stands and Newcastle United have won it.
:25:05. > :25:10.Being a local mad I must fan and inside, not just the assistant
:25:11. > :25:14.manager. Delighted for Cisse and the fans and myself, because it has been
:25:15. > :25:19.a tough time. You do get put under a bit of pressure but thankfully we
:25:20. > :25:23.had quite a bit of communication today. We had a landline on the
:25:24. > :25:30.dugout and many discussions and it certainly works. It is a 50-50
:25:31. > :25:33.decision with the hand ball and it did not go our way. The
:25:34. > :25:36.disappointing thing is that the first half we played all the time
:25:37. > :25:40.first half, waited for them to have a free kick and then he blew up and
:25:41. > :25:44.when the lad crosses our half, that was it, three minutes, our lads were
:25:45. > :25:48.on to their fourth official about it being three minutes. Then he has
:25:49. > :25:52.waited for them to get whatever they were going to do and we are
:25:53. > :25:55.disappointed with that but for as long as the game goes on we should
:25:56. > :26:05.defend and we should defend it but it does not help. Russell Brand is
:26:06. > :26:12.back with us, taking Celsius. I am having the trophy, let alone
:26:13. > :26:16.selfies. Newcastle, a late win, Papiss Cisse got one in eventually.
:26:17. > :26:21.He has had a tough season, a tough time of late to be honest. He came
:26:22. > :26:25.into Newcastle, scored goals for fun, rather barren after that but it
:26:26. > :26:32.is a decent effort. This one is a lovely running behind. A good ball
:26:33. > :26:35.in behind. A decent header, but he should be scoring here. A good ball
:26:36. > :26:39.enough Ben Arfa, and near post header. He does not hit the target.
:26:40. > :26:46.This is a great strike from Tiote, puts it on a plate for him. He
:26:47. > :26:50.somehow misses that, but the time to worry as I always said, the time to
:26:51. > :26:54.worry is when you are not getting chances. You should not worry when
:26:55. > :26:59.you are missing them. The time to worry is when you are not getting
:27:00. > :27:03.them. Did Tony Pulis have a point? He was a few seconds over the added
:27:04. > :27:09.time. As a minimum of three minutes. You are asking the wrong person
:27:10. > :27:13.there! No, he didn't come it was totally right. It is supposed to be
:27:14. > :27:19.a minimum so you can argue all day. Shall look at the title race.
:27:20. > :27:28.Russell, cast your eyes over the top few teams. Who do you see winning
:27:29. > :27:32.the trophy? In all likelihood, in spite of Jose Mourinho's Potter
:27:33. > :27:39.stations it is most likely to end up at the bridge. -- protestations. I
:27:40. > :27:43.would like the Scousers to get it, Liverpool deserve it. They have
:27:44. > :27:50.played good football this year. City or Chelsea look unstoppable. From
:27:51. > :27:58.afar, who do you see as the strongest English team at present? I
:27:59. > :28:05.think Chelsea will win this year. It is not easy to manage the situation.
:28:06. > :28:10.For a team that has other matches to play, but I think Mourinho will win.
:28:11. > :28:17.He wants a lot and is special, he has something that in the end he
:28:18. > :28:24.wins. Alan? I have been saying Chelsea all season. We have three
:28:25. > :28:31.teams in it, or are you ruling out Arsenal? We never thought Arsenal
:28:32. > :28:37.could do it. Arsenal can't do it. I only asked the question. You lot
:28:38. > :28:40.over here, you never thought they would do it, they never had
:28:41. > :28:46.backbone. I thought Chelsea were strong because of the Mourinho
:28:47. > :28:50.effect. They might be proved right. Leonardo, you have worked in the
:28:51. > :28:56.World Cup and been at Moran -- Milan, Paris St-Germain, do you want
:28:57. > :29:00.to get back into coaching? That is my idea for the next season, after
:29:01. > :29:07.my experience with coaching Inter Milan and my experience of Paris
:29:08. > :29:12.St-Germain, I complete my curse and I want to come back near the pitch
:29:13. > :29:19.for next season. It has been great to see you. Russell, Alan Hansen is
:29:20. > :29:24.retiring at the end of the season. You available for consideration? You
:29:25. > :29:29.cannot win anything with kids. You need a stable, safe pair of hands.
:29:30. > :29:33.Yes, I will do the job and come back for as long as you will have me. I
:29:34. > :29:37.love it! I don't think it is a realistic possibility but I have had
:29:38. > :29:42.a wicked time. It is great to see you, thank you. Earlier I asked you
:29:43. > :29:49.which goal you thought was better, Beckham's from the halfway line, or
:29:50. > :29:54.Rooney's long-range volley. 63% of you went with David Beckham against
:29:55. > :29:59.37% for Rooney. You have had your say. Let's look at the Barclays
:30:00. > :30:02.Premier League table. Chelsea's humbling of Arsenal maintains their
:30:03. > :30:06.four point lead at the top. A prolific day at the office for
:30:07. > :30:10.Liverpool and Manchester City, they keep pace with the Blues and have
:30:11. > :30:16.games in hand. The Gunners are seven points adrift. A bleak day for those
:30:17. > :30:20.at the foot of the table. The bottom five all lost. Norwich weather big
:30:21. > :30:25.winners, their victory Sunderland means they are up to 13th, while
:30:26. > :30:30.Hull City are eight points clear of the relegation zone. Let's see what
:30:31. > :30:36.the papers have today. The Sunday Telegraph leads with Andre
:30:37. > :30:39.Marriner's error and say he could be temporarily dropped from Premier
:30:40. > :30:46.League duties. The Mail on Sunday says Jose Mourinho believes referees
:30:47. > :30:52.should have access to a TV screen to avoid mistakes. The daily Star on
:30:53. > :30:58.Sunday carries a photo of Wayne Rooney's wonder goal, alongside
:30:59. > :31:02.David Beckham's effort. We will leave you with the lighter side of
:31:03. > :31:11.football management. It can be a funny old game, but probably not for
:31:12. > :31:17.Arsene Wenger tonight. Goodbye. The kids were 2-0 up all over the place
:31:18. > :31:24.this morning, I put ginger in the curry. They loved the cat. What team
:31:25. > :31:28.does a pirate support? Arsenal. I went to do an after-dinner speech,
:31:29. > :31:33.there was a 12-year-old lad stood there. Excuse me, mate, and I mind
:31:34. > :31:40.your car for a tenner? I said, it's all right I have my Alsatian with
:31:41. > :31:46.me. He said, can he put out? I've written a song about a tortilla, it
:31:47. > :31:52.is more of a rap really. I went to my daughters, can I help you? I said
:31:53. > :31:58.Doctor, I have a problem. I think I am a cowboy. He said, a cowboy? How
:31:59. > :31:59.long have you been feeling like that for?
