:01:05. > :01:08.who's served the club for 27 years and won 13 Premier League titles

:01:19. > :01:22.Hello. Following the dismissal of David Moyes this week it was Ryan
:01:23. > :01:24.Giggs in charge of the champions for the visit of Norwich. That's one of
:01:25. > :01:50.six games on the way. Our chosen ones are Alan Hansen and
:01:51. > :01:54.Robbie Savage. We start at Old Trafford where
:01:55. > :01:58.Manchester United were beaten six times in the league under David
:01:59. > :02:30.Moyes. More than the previous three years combined.
:02:31. > :02:42.There have been creaking cracks in United's Theatre of dreams. Today
:02:43. > :02:55.may be the day the walls come tumbling down. United beaten at home
:02:56. > :02:58.again, city do good. United faced a Norwich side with big
:02:59. > :03:02.problems of their own. The Canaries are just two points above the bottom
:03:03. > :03:05.three and arrived in Manchester with the worst away record in the
:03:06. > :03:12.division. Your commentator, Steve Bower.
:03:13. > :03:22.After the chosen and departed one, it falls onto the most decorated one
:03:23. > :03:34.to calm the waters. Step forward, Ryan Giggs, the manager for the very
:03:35. > :03:42.first time. The old defensive guard of Ferdinand, Vidic and Evra return.
:03:43. > :03:52.Norwich make one change to the team that lost to Liverpool. There is a
:03:53. > :03:57.start for the club signing, Ricky van Wolfswinkel, whose only goal for
:03:58. > :04:08.the club came on the opening day of the season. The customary Ryan Giggs
:04:09. > :04:18.song echoes around the stadium. How will his players respond? Olsson
:04:19. > :04:29.with the header clear. It felt too well back. Ruddy had to be alert on
:04:30. > :04:36.his near post. Had time to assess the situation, well back. The save
:04:37. > :04:48.you would expect ready to make and he did. Rooney takes charge. Has
:04:49. > :04:59.picked out Valencia. This is promising for Manchester United.
:05:00. > :05:03.Cleverley completely miskicked. Has not been the swashbuckling
:05:04. > :05:15.Manchester United team some of the fans were dreaming of all stop
:05:16. > :05:22.beaten away by Rudy and then cleared by Whittaker. Neil Adams, the more
:05:23. > :05:45.experienced man in the dugout today. Valencia has looked a threat. Almost
:05:46. > :05:52.went all through. Well back was fouled, penalty. Whittaker which the
:05:53. > :06:15.challenge. I Manchester United penalty. He was just caught from
:06:16. > :06:24.behind and down went Danny Welbeck. Rooney scores the first goal under
:06:25. > :06:33.Ryan Giggs. He sends Ruddy the wrong way. Pinpoint into the bottom corner
:06:34. > :06:41.from the penalty spot. Manchester United, having had their first
:06:42. > :06:56.half-time words from Ryan Giggs, I am sure will be changing the pace
:06:57. > :07:00.and tempo of their game. Rooney went for goal himself. Special strike
:07:01. > :07:10.from Wayne Rooney. Three minutes into the second half. His and
:07:11. > :07:15.Manchester United's second. Look where he picked it up. Wasn't too
:07:16. > :07:23.much on, he wasn't closed down. He had a look and that was really
:07:24. > :07:28.guided in off the post. No chance for John Ruddy. They might have had
:07:29. > :07:38.a slow start to the first half but have had the perfect one to the
:07:39. > :07:45.second. Much more speed to Manchester United's play. Read
:07:46. > :07:54.bounded to Danny Welbeck. The night by John Ruddy. The second Wayne
:07:55. > :08:07.Rooney goal has changed the atmosphere. Vidic with the
:08:08. > :08:13.opportunity to make it 3-0. He will be disappointed with that. Hasn't
:08:14. > :08:26.scored a Premier League goal in what will be his final Manchester United
:08:27. > :08:38.season. Rooney tried to do it again. Denied by Ruddy. Picked up by
:08:39. > :08:51.Valencia. Drilled in by Jones. Mata, on as a substitute makes it
:08:52. > :08:57.3-0. His fourth goal for the club. It all began with Rooney's effort
:08:58. > :09:04.beaten away by the goalkeeper. When it came back again, Mata was in the
:09:05. > :09:08.space and alive to the situation. Surely now Ryan Giggs is off to a
:09:09. > :09:20.winning start in charge of Manchester United.
:09:21. > :09:34.Rooney has one the battle with Martin who was trying to see that
:09:35. > :09:49.out of play. Clipped in by Rooney and matter tried to apply a touch.
:09:50. > :09:54.Mata would have been disappointed not to be in the starting line-up,
:09:55. > :10:04.but has made an impact since he came on. Here they come again. At the
:10:05. > :10:16.back post was Valencia. Headed in by Mata. It is turning into the day
:10:17. > :10:23.Ryan Giggs hoped it would do. Mata, claiming the touch as it went past
:10:24. > :10:32.Ruddy. Two for the Spaniard, two for Rooney. This is just the tonic this
:10:33. > :10:38.team and club needed at the end of this week. Now Ryan Giggs has the
:10:39. > :10:48.perfect script. Snodgrass trying to get away from Vidic. Olson, in the
:10:49. > :11:07.last minute of the 90. It was deflected!
:11:08. > :11:19.Could be time for a fifth. Hen and there's! Almost everyone inside the
:11:20. > :11:25.stadium expected him to make it 5-0. Beautifully weighted pass from Mata.
:11:26. > :11:34.The Mexican could not find the target. Was that the hardest part
:11:35. > :11:40.today, telling team-mates they would not be playing?
:11:41. > :11:44.Yes, I did not get much sleep last night because of that. They all
:11:45. > :11:50.could have been considered, with the training performances they have put
:11:51. > :11:53.in. It was tough. I wasn't worried about the starting 11, it was the
:11:54. > :12:01.players I had to leave out. The second half was fantastic. Mata was
:12:02. > :12:04.fantastic when he came on. It was hard to lead a player like that out
:12:05. > :12:12.will stop he reacted in a way I expect it as a professional. He is
:12:13. > :12:17.perfect to take over for us. We have another three games left. Hopefully
:12:18. > :12:23.we can do well and then it is down to the board to choose who they want
:12:24. > :12:28.to take over. I am sure Ryan will be right up there as a top contender.
:12:29. > :12:37.We were disciplined and organised and quiet and them down. We knew the
:12:38. > :12:41.first 15 to 20 minute with the key. We went in at half-time with a solid
:12:42. > :12:47.performance. It was a soft penalty, not so sure there was a lot of
:12:48. > :12:56.contact. When they got the second goal, we were always up about it.
:12:57. > :13:00.What has it felt like today? I felt ten feet tall when I walked out of
:13:01. > :13:03.the tunnel. The fans have been fantastic. I am glad we can reward
:13:04. > :13:12.them because it has been frustrating. A new start now under
:13:13. > :13:26.Ryan. We have three more to go. He is Ryan now, not Gaffer? We did ask
:13:27. > :13:31.him, but he said to call him Ryan. Let's see if he will get the job on
:13:32. > :13:36.a permanent basis. Not a bad start? Emphatic in the end, the first 40
:13:37. > :13:44.minutes I will Norwich were comfortable. Manchester United
:13:45. > :13:51.played Rooney up top, well but just off him. They were chipping them up
:13:52. > :13:55.and it was too long. Once they played with five or six coming
:13:56. > :14:02.forward, it was shorter and Manchester United were much better.
:14:03. > :14:08.Ferdinand, back to front, too long. What is Rooney going to do with
:14:09. > :14:13.that? This time, Cleverley, same thing. Easy to defend against. At
:14:14. > :14:19.this stage in proceedings, you were wondering where the spark was going
:14:20. > :14:25.to come from. But whether Ryan Giggs changed it or whether the players
:14:26. > :14:28.changed it, they got it into Rooney with a short pass, which is
:14:29. > :14:35.dangerous. They got the penalty which changed the game. But Norwich
:14:36. > :14:42.fell apart in the second half will stop Rooney was making chance after
:14:43. > :14:46.chance, picking it up. That is half decent and the goal came from a
:14:47. > :14:56.similar position. Short pass, Rooney went wide. He did really well, comes
:14:57. > :15:01.in with a great finish. It wasn't the perfect start for Ryan Giggs but
:15:02. > :15:07.it was a very good start. 4-0 Isambard! I'm sure he would have
:15:08. > :15:12.liked it better. You get a nothing ball into the box from Jones. They
:15:13. > :15:15.make five mistakes. From the referee's position, I don't think he
:15:16. > :15:20.had any alternative but to give a penalty. Robbie will tell you
:15:21. > :15:24.contact was minimal. I thought it might have been a touch on his
:15:25. > :15:28.ankle. You are thinking, what is the penalty for? It looked like he
:15:29. > :15:33.stubbed his foot into the ground. He grabs onto his arm. There is the
:15:34. > :15:39.stub on the floor. Has he gone too easily. The next angle we will see.
:15:40. > :15:43.Whittaker pulls his arm. Only thing the referee has got wrong is not
:15:44. > :15:50.sending Whittaker off. A definite penalty. Manchester United don't
:15:51. > :15:55.sack managers. A long time since they did. Did they land it well
:15:56. > :15:58.enough? With social media it's difficult to keep things quiet.
:15:59. > :16:04.Manchester United you would have thought would have done it better.
:16:05. > :16:11.That's, it's another store oy. David Moyes himself. -- story. The hardest
:16:12. > :16:15.thing to do is break up a successful team. Manchester United need to be
:16:16. > :16:21.broken up. David Moyes had to spend a forrure. He sdbt didn't do it, he
:16:22. > :16:26.bought Fellaini who wasn't successful. It's David Moyes' job to
:16:27. > :16:30.get the best out of his players. He didn't do that. It wasn't
:16:31. > :16:35.necessarily the defeats, it was the manner of defeats against Liverpool,
:16:36. > :16:41.Manchester City and Everton that cost him the job. Right decision for
:16:42. > :16:51.you? United seventh in the league. The telling stat is the midfield.
:16:52. > :16:56.Even creativity. This season, the flee players who played the most in
:16:57. > :17:00.the midfield. No assists and no threw balls from your three key
:17:01. > :17:04.midfielders. It's staggering. That tells me a few things. The wingers
:17:05. > :17:09.are not running behind. Centre forwards not going behind. And, are
:17:10. > :17:14.they good enough? That isn't their biggest problem. The biggest problem
:17:15. > :17:19.is the back four. It's about picking the guy you want to give the money.
:17:20. > :17:22.They didn't want to give to David Moyes. Will they want to give it to
:17:23. > :17:26.Ryan Giggs. I read one or two reports it's not about money. Who
:17:27. > :17:36.are you going to pick the players from, thin air? You have to pick the
:17:37. > :17:41.players. A lot of talk is Louis van Gaal? If Ryan Giggs wins the next
:17:42. > :17:44.three matches 4-0 there will be a tidal wave of sentiment in his
:17:45. > :17:48.favour from everywhere. You are talking about inside Old Trafford,
:17:49. > :17:54.outside Old Trafford. The best thing to do, if they don't want Ryan
:17:55. > :18:00.Giggs, want someone of experience? Get beaten next week. I think he
:18:01. > :18:05.will get it. It's difficult. Would you go with more experience? I would
:18:06. > :18:15.go with Louis van Gaal, Giggs after him. Get scores. Get that mentality.
:18:16. > :18:22.What is Louis van Gaal doesn't want, Giggs, Scholes or Butt. Louis van
:18:23. > :18:26.Gaal has the experience from around the world. Louis van Gaal for me.
:18:27. > :18:37.Manchester United, Giggs will be the new manager. Prediction. Absolutely.
:18:38. > :18:42.What do you think? S Should Ryan Giggs get the Man Utd job? Go to the
:18:43. > :18:45.BBC Sport website to cast your vote or tweet either #YES or #NO to
:18:46. > :18:49.@bbcmotd. We'll give the result at the end of the programme. Fulham's
:18:50. > :18:54.6-0 defeat at Hull in December was their worst in Premier League
:18:55. > :18:57.history. The two sides met again today at Craven Cottage with the
:18:58. > :19:02.home side two points from safety with just three games to play. Simon
:19:03. > :19:05.Brotherton was watching. S last season Dave individual Stockdale
:19:06. > :19:08.went on-loan to Hull and helped them win promotion to the Premier League.
:19:09. > :19:12.Today he will try to keep them out as Fulham go for the win they need.
:19:13. > :19:17.You may remember that Hull put six past today's opponents in December.
:19:18. > :19:23.Tom Huddlestone was among the goalscorers for the first time in
:19:24. > :19:26.two-and-a-half years and able to get his haircut, finally. Only
:19:27. > :19:30.Sunderland have earned fewer points at home than Fulham this season.
:19:31. > :19:35.Fulham have won two of the last three here at Craven Cottage. If
:19:36. > :19:38.they could win the last two against Hull and Crystal Palace, they would
:19:39. > :19:41.have a decent chance of staying in the Premier League next season.
:19:42. > :19:50.Decent play this from Fulham. Amorebieta, four inside the penalty
:19:51. > :19:54.area. Rodallega is one of them. First chance of the game. Unable to
:19:55. > :19:57.get on the end of it. Real promise for Fulham though. He scored the
:19:58. > :20:01.winning goal in two of the last three matches for Fulham. He had the
:20:02. > :20:19.opportunity to give them the lead there. A positive start for mag
:20:20. > :20:26.Felix's side. Long to be beaten. Still managed to get his shot in.
:20:27. > :20:34.Despite the best efforts of Heitinga and Hangeland. He is the Tony Pulis
:20:35. > :20:41.of German football. Never relegated. He doesn't intend to start now. He
:20:42. > :20:48.will win the header again. Meyler trying to get clear of Hangeland.
:20:49. > :20:54.Shane Long for Hull. Was he pushed over there, no. The referee says no
:20:55. > :21:02.to a penalty. Was he nudged out of the way by Amorebieta? That was the
:21:03. > :21:08.question. The referee said, no. Fulham, looking to be quick out of
:21:09. > :21:15.the blocks with the words of their manager ringing in their ears.
:21:16. > :21:19.Rodallega for Fulham. That was Chester, sliding in. Dejagah reaches
:21:20. > :21:27.outside him. He might have a chance himself. He scores! Ashkan Dejagah
:21:28. > :21:32.Fulham. 10 minutes into the second-half. Just what Fulham
:21:33. > :21:36.needed. Dejagah scored the winner here last month at home to
:21:37. > :21:45.Newcastle. He got an important goal here now. Created space, saw the
:21:46. > :21:50.opening. My word did he drive it home into that top corner. Fulham,
:21:51. > :21:57.in a match they have to win, are ahead. Dejagah, his sexth goal of
:21:58. > :22:04.the season. Good enough to bring everybody in the stadium up off
:22:05. > :22:12.their seats, including the manager. Now they believe a little bit more.
:22:13. > :22:21.Here come Fulham again. It's behind, off Bruce. Suddenly, have they
:22:22. > :22:26.momentum swinging their way? Fulham's corner. The goalscorer will
:22:27. > :22:38.try and turn provider here. Headed away at the near-post. Richardson
:22:39. > :22:45.now. Amorebieta! It's two. What a start to the second-half here for
:22:46. > :22:50.Fulham. What a time for Fernando Amorebieta to score his first goal
:22:51. > :22:59.for the club. A one goal lead is doubled. From that header there. Two
:23:00. > :23:05.goals in quick succession. Suddenly it turned the game Fulham's way. We
:23:06. > :23:10.are staying up is now the cry that echoes around Craven Cottage. Of
:23:11. > :23:15.course, if Hull could get a goal before too long it would change the
:23:16. > :23:24.complexion and change the mood. Add to the anxieties of the home crowd.
:23:25. > :23:30.Shane Long, off the bar. Yell Jelavic are there. Hull are back
:23:31. > :23:36.into the game, with 15 minutes to go. That changes the complexion of
:23:37. > :23:41.the afternoon a bit. Nikica Jelavic with his first goal since February.
:23:42. > :23:54.Fulham are stunned by that. Suddenly, the ball sailing towards
:23:55. > :23:59.the goal, off the boot of Riether. Having made the first save, he was
:24:00. > :24:07.unable to keep out the rebound and the effort from Jelavic. Felix
:24:08. > :24:12.Magath has seen it before. That goal will change the mood inside the
:24:13. > :24:23.stadium. Difficult little spell here for Fulham. Huddlestone, block made
:24:24. > :24:29.by Heitinga. Fulham defend. It's off the top of the bar from Aluko.
:24:30. > :24:32.Fulham are scrambling to clear. Dave individual Stockdale, like everyone
:24:33. > :24:37.else in the stadium, could merely watch that one. It was a lucky
:24:38. > :24:38.escape. Still time of course for Hull to salvage something from the
:24:39. > :24:56.match. Aluko going down. It's Rodallega.
:24:57. > :25:03.Dejagah, racing into the penalty area. Dejagah! Great save by Harper.
:25:04. > :25:09.Now it's with Darren Bent. He shoots! Wide. A goal there and
:25:10. > :25:15.Fulham would have felt home and dry. Rodallega, skipping clear of the
:25:16. > :25:22.defence. Dejagah, denied by the save from Harper. Darren Bent, unable to
:25:23. > :25:26.find that bottom corner. He knows his team aren't there yet in terms
:25:27. > :25:31.of this game. A decent advantage that they have got. We are heading
:25:32. > :25:39.almost into the last five minutes of the 90 here. Ako, Boyd. Jelavic and
:25:40. > :25:51.Long wait in the centre. Sagbo is up there as well. -- Aluko. Boyd did
:25:52. > :25:58.well. It's away by Richardson, who falls awkwardly. Elmohamady. Oh, to
:25:59. > :26:03.the post! Off the he palm of Stockdale. Brilliant save by the
:26:04. > :26:08.Fulham goalkeeper. Hull City almost back level at 2-2 there. You sense
:26:09. > :26:17.that there might be another twist or turn left in this game. Here's
:26:18. > :26:22.Sagbo. Aluko, Boyd outside him. Jelavic and Long in the centre. In
:26:23. > :26:30.towards Shane Long, with a header. Oh and Shane Long has equalised for
:26:31. > :26:33.Hull City. And Fulham's players are utterly deflated. What a big goal
:26:34. > :26:39.that could be. Not just for Hull in this game, but in terms of Fulham's
:26:40. > :26:46.season as a whole. It was completely unmarked. He snuck in behind
:26:47. > :26:53.Amorebieta. Shane Long guides that header home. Like a dagger into the
:26:54. > :26:57.heart of Fulham's survival chances. They had victory almost in their
:26:58. > :27:03.hands, Fulham today. They could see the finishing line in sight. They
:27:04. > :27:11.could not hang on. It needs to be a big final push for them. A great
:27:12. > :27:14.comeback for Hull in this one. If Hull get a point, that could be the
:27:15. > :27:20.point that ultimately ensures they stay up as well. Was there a
:27:21. > :27:24.handball there? A few shouts. Nothing from Lee Mason.
:27:25. > :27:31.Interestingly, no real appeals from any of the players either. That has
:27:32. > :27:40.to go down as a lucky escape for Hull. We are disappointed because we
:27:41. > :27:48.are 2-0 leading and so it seems, yeah, we can take the three points,
:27:49. > :27:54.but unfortunately we make almost own-goal and so maybe take only one
:27:55. > :27:58.point. 37 points, with our goal difference is probably 38. We will
:27:59. > :28:04.watch the game tomorrow. Hope it's a draw. I think we have are
:28:05. > :28:08.mathmatically safe barring all sorts of silly things happening. To be in
:28:09. > :28:12.this position is wonderful. We have a Cup final to look forward. It's
:28:13. > :28:15.never easy to keep everyone focussed. They showed today what
:28:16. > :28:20.they are made of. We have lost two points am we have to win the next
:28:21. > :28:25.two games. Still believing? Yeah. We can. You never know what you will
:28:26. > :28:32.get with Fulham, do you? Not from one game to the next, one minute to
:28:33. > :28:38.the next The first half was a non event. Fulham's Achilles heel comes
:28:39. > :28:43.back. 2-0 up. They should have held on. It would have been three points.
:28:44. > :28:47.Amorebieta, the full-back, would sum up the day. He had a mixed day. He
:28:48. > :28:52.went from being excellent to terrible. Three or four times. The
:28:53. > :28:57.first one to Rodallega, a great ball in. Left back position. Whips it in.
:28:58. > :29:02.Great ball, should have scored. Then, he gets the wrong side of
:29:03. > :29:07.Shane Long. That is a penalty kick. He is red card all day long. You
:29:08. > :29:16.have to learn to take a throw-in, like Robbie. Then... He scores a
:29:17. > :29:20.goal here. A great goal, to make it 2-0, but the equaliser from Shane
:29:21. > :29:25.Long, for some reason, he had a running battle with Jelavic there.
:29:26. > :29:30.Right in the first half. Then, at the equaliser he is obsessed with
:29:31. > :29:33.Jelavic. Watch. Circle him there. Hoe light him there. He is pushing
:29:34. > :29:38.Jelavic instead of tracking the runner. Misjudges the flight of the
:29:39. > :29:44.ball. It's in the back of the net. Two valuable points that are lost.
:29:45. > :29:47.Or a point gain You would go, if they are 2-0 up they should have
:29:48. > :30:02.hung on. The manager made a change at
:30:03. > :30:13.half-time that worked? Yes, Djagah has been very good. Why wasn't he on
:30:14. > :30:24.from the start. He runs a long way and gets on the end of a great ball.
:30:25. > :30:34.It is a great save. This time against Curtis Davies. If the ball
:30:35. > :30:40.had been better Rodallega might have been in. This is definitely the
:30:41. > :30:47.parts of the day. Fantastic pass from back to front. It is a Steven
:30:48. > :31:01.Gerrard hit. Cuts across it and inch perfect to Rodallega. An overlapping
:31:02. > :31:06.fullback. Uses the fullback, cuts inside and buries it in the top
:31:07. > :31:15.corner. The question I would ask, why was he not on from the start? We
:31:16. > :31:22.saw a penalty youth taught Hull should have had, but later on wasn't
:31:23. > :31:31.it Curtis Davies handball? Yes, the question was, was it inside the box?
:31:32. > :31:38.I think it is a definite handball. To get them safe, I think they are
:31:39. > :31:45.saved at 37 points. You have Long and Jelavic, nine goals between
:31:46. > :31:49.them, I think they have done it. Even at 2-0 down, they kept
:31:50. > :31:53.fighting. A run of just one point from five
:31:54. > :31:56.games has dragged Aston Villa back into the relegation battle. Paul
:31:57. > :31:59.Lambert's side were in action at Swansea who started the day just a
:32:00. > :32:16.point above their opponents. Conor McNamara was at the Liberty Stadium.
:32:17. > :32:23.Agbonlahor scored against Swansea in December which was part of a run of
:32:24. > :32:33.three goals but has not found the net since that run. Two managers
:32:34. > :32:39.also effectively fighting to keep their job the both teams, you can
:32:40. > :32:50.see they are still getting used to this pounding rain. Routledge has
:32:51. > :33:02.scored against Villa in the last two seasons. 1-0 to Swansea. Five goals
:33:03. > :33:09.in his last seven league games now. He took this with such confidence.
:33:10. > :33:15.Great pass from Jonjo Shelvey. Might be questionable as to whether he was
:33:16. > :33:21.onside, but what about that finish? Williams started in the driving rain
:33:22. > :33:29.for Swansea. You would think with a slippery pitch and all of the rain
:33:30. > :33:41.he would have slid a bit further. Picked up by Westwood. Albrighton.
:33:42. > :33:46.It's sat up so nicely for him. Albrighton looking for his first
:33:47. > :34:01.goal of the season. Paul Lambert, still looking for his first away win
:34:02. > :34:18.since New Year's Day. That was a better cross fag in Lahore. Crucial
:34:19. > :34:22.goal for Aston Villa. -- for Agbonlahor. It is the second time
:34:23. > :34:31.this season he has scored against Swansea. I think it took a little
:34:32. > :34:40.deflection under way in. Aston Villa are back in the game. Garry Monk,
:34:41. > :34:45.very much like Ryan Giggs at Manchester United. Started the
:34:46. > :34:53.season on the playing staff and finishing it in the manager's
:34:54. > :35:09.dugout. Poor clearance. Jonjo Shelvey! Ace back Nakhila finish.
:35:10. > :35:15.Out of the very top drawer. -- a spectacular finish. Swansea City are
:35:16. > :35:21.back in front. Absolutely perfect into the top corner. His sixth goal
:35:22. > :35:25.of the season. He didn't even look at the target, he just knew
:35:26. > :35:30.instinctively what he wanted to do. And that is the reaction on the
:35:31. > :35:42.bench. You don't see a goal like that every day. Well played by
:35:43. > :35:52.Wilfred Bony. Using his strength to great effect. Look at him,
:35:53. > :35:59.surrounded, but still got his shot through. Has been at Swansea for ten
:36:00. > :36:06.years, Garry Monk. Knows all about the club. He said once they are
:36:07. > :36:12.mathematically safe, he can sit down with the chairman and talk about his
:36:13. > :36:18.future. Jonjo Shelvey went the goal. It is parried out by the goalkeeper
:36:19. > :36:26.for a corner. This is about half the distance out Jonjo Shelvey was when
:36:27. > :36:30.he scored the first goal. It was one the goalkeeper could not take any
:36:31. > :36:35.chances with. A chance for Routledge in the penalty area. That could have
:36:36. > :36:45.settled the game. Nope composure at the end of it. It will be a nervous
:36:46. > :37:09.end to the season for Paul Lambert. Two obvious targets in the censure.
:37:10. > :37:14.Williams and Bony. -- centre. Second opportunity for Jonjo Shelvey to
:37:15. > :37:24.cross. No one was marking at the far post. That could be that! It is a
:37:25. > :37:31.crucial goal in Swansea's did to be safe in the Premier League for next
:37:32. > :37:37.season. There is nobody marking at the back post as Jonjo Shelvey's
:37:38. > :37:47.cross picks out Hernandez. For Aston Villa, that defending is not good
:37:48. > :37:56.enough. Can Aston Villa comeback? 3-1 behind, that is how much it
:37:57. > :38:01.means to Garry Monk. Villa playing with for upfront. Albrighton is
:38:02. > :38:19.effect to be the right-hand edge of it. Robinson couldn't get there.
:38:20. > :38:22.Albrighton. To hide. On a day when Aston Villa have not had too many
:38:23. > :38:26.chances, he needed to have at least hit the target from there. Paul
:38:27. > :38:39.Lambert knows how costly this defeat is. Tired legs trying to get back.
:38:40. > :38:45.Baker will be in trouble. He has taken him down, it is a yellow card.
:38:46. > :38:56.He was never going to keep up with him. Swansea took it quickly. Guzan
:38:57. > :39:16.saved. Swansea finishing the game with a flourish. Going to be in big
:39:17. > :39:23.trouble. Penalty. Nathan Baker who was booked and moment ago, the
:39:24. > :39:33.yellow card shown to Westwood. Baker, straight in on his back. The
:39:34. > :39:39.referee gives a penalty to Swansea. Wilfred Bony scored a late penalty
:39:40. > :39:44.last week against Newcastle and he has done it again. Surely now,
:39:45. > :39:50.Swansea will be involved in the Premier League next season? It is
:39:51. > :39:55.the goals from this man, Wilfred Bony, that really have secured their
:39:56. > :40:01.safety in the end. What is your take on Jonjo
:40:02. > :40:05.Shelvey's goal? Yes, I think he had been watching me in training a few
:40:06. > :40:11.times and that is where he got it from! No, it was his instinct. He
:40:12. > :40:16.has that ability, he tries it in training. He got back from his
:40:17. > :40:23.Liverpool days. That was a great finish. Fantastic goal. I just
:40:24. > :40:29.thought I would just hit it and thought it was over. Luckily it went
:40:30. > :40:42.into the top corner. I thought we played well in the opening period.
:40:43. > :40:45.Brad, who has been excellent for me, probably knew he should have not
:40:46. > :40:57.thrown it out, but that what happens. What about relegation. We
:40:58. > :41:04.need to win next week. What is your role next season? I will go and
:41:05. > :41:08.speak to the chairman and see what he wants to do with the future of
:41:09. > :41:17.the club. I guess we will go from there. He has done well. Superb
:41:18. > :41:26.place the Swansea. What a goal from Jonjo Shelvey? Sensational. I think
:41:27. > :41:32.Rooney's is better. Guzan, nobody wants the ball. Nobody is looking.
:41:33. > :41:41.Guzan should not have thrown out. He panicked. What a first touch from
:41:42. > :41:46.Jonjo Shelvey on his chest. Guzan as well, does not react quickly enough
:41:47. > :41:53.to get back on his line. I don't know what he is doing there, Guzan.
:41:54. > :42:00.Yes, he has been brilliant all season. What a goal. Villa have been
:42:01. > :42:08.shocking in defence as Alan is going to show you. It was a great goal.
:42:09. > :42:14.You were not impressed with Aston Villa at all? The opening goal, you
:42:15. > :42:19.have been struggling defensively, you go away from home, you want to
:42:20. > :42:27.keep it tight. No pressure on the ball and always the fullback on the
:42:28. > :42:30.opposite side to wear the ball is goes behind the centre back and then
:42:31. > :42:41.you are in trouble. Ruby Ridge, time and space. -- right allege. Bertrand
:42:42. > :42:48.gets behind Baker. The space is created. I think he is slightly
:42:49. > :42:55.offside but because Bertrand is behind Baker, the assistant, it is
:42:56. > :42:59.marginal, it is tight. I think he is just offside but sometimes it goes
:43:00. > :43:04.against you. It you are pushing up that far, you have got to put Russia
:43:05. > :43:12.on the ball. One point in six, Villa? 41 points last year, they are
:43:13. > :43:13.We've reached the half-way point of the show.
:43:14. > :43:29.Worse this year. West Brom have won fewer games than
:43:30. > :43:32.any other Barclays Premier League side this season but started the day
:43:33. > :43:35.three points clear of danger. Opponents West Ham knew victory
:43:36. > :43:36.would guarantee them top-flight football next season. Steve Wilson
:43:37. > :44:04.was at The Hawthorns. The loss of Gareth McAuley might
:44:05. > :44:14.leave Sam Allardyce licking his lips. Pepe Mel wearing a black
:44:15. > :44:15.armband in memory of her friends, the former Barcelona coach who died
:44:16. > :44:32.yesterday. Olsson with the touch. Mulumbu keeps
:44:33. > :44:36.his head. Doran should clear. West Brom, in the eighth minute of this
:44:37. > :44:41.game, will already be feeling fortunate that they are not behind.
:44:42. > :44:45.The early signs for West Brom are really quite worrying. Here's
:44:46. > :44:51.Sessegnon with Berahino ahead of him. Still Sessegnon. He has done
:44:52. > :44:58.well. Brunt at the back post. It's in. Against the run of play. But
:44:59. > :45:03.into the back of the net, Berahino gives West Bromwich Albion the lead.
:45:04. > :45:08.He has been on the fringes of it for the last six weeks or so. He was at
:45:09. > :45:13.the heart of it here. What a great run from Sessegnon. Brunt had all
:45:14. > :45:22.kinds of space. Had that not gone in the back of the net then
:45:23. > :45:25.Amalfitano's decision-making would have been questioned. It's a long
:45:26. > :45:30.way to go. It would be a crucial victory if that goal from Berahino
:45:31. > :45:37.proves to be a winner. Nice from Diame. Good crossing position.
:45:38. > :45:43.Carroll, tremendous save by Foster. The back across goal. Wide from
:45:44. > :45:52.Kevin Nolan. Pretty much a textbook header by Carroll. It still didn't
:45:53. > :46:02.beat Foster. Sessegnon, Dorrans. Berahino, can find Brunt. Sessegnon,
:46:03. > :46:07.in the o box. Oh, whipped right in front of Reid. He couldn't reach it.
:46:08. > :46:11.A flying header from Billy Jones, not far wide. Could have doubled
:46:12. > :46:21.their lead here, West Brom. The first cross was inviting. Sessegnon
:46:22. > :46:25.couldn't reach it. Great effort from Amalfitano to keep it in. Great
:46:26. > :46:33.header. It came off the top of his head, I think. Dawson's head. Diame,
:46:34. > :46:37.trying to find Jarvis. Foster has decided to come. I'm not sure how
:46:38. > :46:44.much of that ball he got. It's a corner. Which is cleared by Olsson.
:46:45. > :46:55.Here is Downing. Wouldn't sit down for him. Good ball into Djamel. Good
:46:56. > :47:03.save. Heroics at the moment by Foster. Noble hasn't got on to that.
:47:04. > :47:11.They can break here with Sessegnon. -- Demel. Here's Dorrans still. Talk
:47:12. > :47:16.about end to end stuff. Fantastic break on here. Look at Graham
:47:17. > :47:20.Dorrans. He is running himself into the ground to get there. As he
:47:21. > :47:26.collected it from Sessegnon, and drove, he couldn't quite get the
:47:27. > :47:34.contact, the pace, power or direction he was looking for. That
:47:35. > :47:45.is not very complimentary on any level. , is it? Noble has pulled up
:47:46. > :47:53.for West Ham. West Brom will play on. Morrison. Helped onto Sessegnon
:47:54. > :47:58.by Berahino. Amalfitano finds Jones. Sessegnon, room to turn, if he wants
:47:59. > :48:05.to. Pulls it back. Not the worst idea in the world either. Jones,
:48:06. > :48:10.with the shot! Smartly saved at his near-post by Adrian. Billy Jones
:48:11. > :48:15.doesn't score too many. Only hit the target once for West Brom. Nolan.
:48:16. > :48:23.McCartney. Stewart Downing has swapped to the
:48:24. > :48:27.left side for the first time. He lost possession. They can break can
:48:28. > :48:32.Sessegnon. Picking up pace, Mulumbu right, Berahino left. Berahino, he
:48:33. > :48:36.got it all wrong. Still might be on for Sessegnon. Nice little turn.
:48:37. > :48:41.Berahino, to have another go. Good save by Adrian. Now, Sessegnon, over
:48:42. > :48:49.the bar. They have missed the opportunity. Oh, Berahino here, he
:48:50. > :48:54.got it horribly wrong the first time. Sessegnon gave him a second
:48:55. > :48:58.bite of the cherry. This time, Adrian was in the way. Then
:48:59. > :49:06.Sessegnon, finally, had a go himself and put it over the top. Billy
:49:07. > :49:13.Jones, really now looking for a second. Graham Dorrans, ricocheted
:49:14. > :49:17.off Nolan, but kindly for Amalfitano. His cross. It's
:49:18. > :49:22.Berahino, it's Sessegnon. It's Graham Dorrans, onto his left, back
:49:23. > :49:28.on to his right. Can't find a way through. Diame did brilliantly.
:49:29. > :49:36.Morrison, Sessegnon, Mulumbu. He will hit it. Not very well. Oh,
:49:37. > :49:43.Berahino! Just hit him. Not a great shot. A bit of a bobbler from
:49:44. > :49:50.Mulumbu. You can't blame Berahino for that. Had no time to react. Just
:49:51. > :49:54.hit him. Swung in from Collins towards Carroll. Got something on
:49:55. > :50:01.it. Kevin Nolan is there. Billy Jones with him. West Ham corner.
:50:02. > :50:05.Jarvis with the corner. Carroll with the header, off the bar. Probably
:50:06. > :50:10.should have scored. It's a free header. Such a brilliant header of
:50:11. > :50:14.the ball, Andy Carroll. He is not marked. He will be disapoined that
:50:15. > :50:20.he has only hit the bar with this. Big let off for West Bromwich
:50:21. > :50:31.Albion, big chance for Andy Carroll. James Morrison. This might go
:50:32. > :50:39.behind. Anichebe trying to make sure it doesn't. He has done well. Well
:50:40. > :50:45.done, Anichebe. He's got a free-kick. Is it a throw-in. West
:50:46. > :50:49.Brom's way anyway. Three minutes were shown. Three minutes have been
:50:50. > :50:55.played. The next whistle might be the last. Graham Dorrans, James
:50:56. > :51:01.Morrison... And West Bromwich Albion have won at home for Pepe Mel, at
:51:02. > :51:06.last! They are not safe yet, but they are a whole lot safer than they
:51:07. > :51:13.were at 3.00pm. West Bromwich Albion have won.
:51:14. > :51:18.TRANSLATION: Cardiff we through 3-3, Cardiff 3-3, drew one each with
:51:19. > :51:23.Liverpool, Chelsea, I think we deserved that victory. It came
:51:24. > :51:27.today. I'm happy for the fans. It shows how good a group we are today.
:51:28. > :51:30.We stayed as a unit and fought through to the end. We make made
:51:31. > :51:36.sure we had the three points. That is massive. I can understand fans
:51:37. > :51:40.disapproval. We haven't won for four games. Everybody in the Barclays
:51:41. > :51:44.Premier League shows disappointment towards the manager when it's not
:51:45. > :51:48.going well. It's not going well for us. I accept the criticism coming my
:51:49. > :51:52.way. It's my responsibility to get it right. After the game I spoke to
:51:53. > :51:57.the West Brom goalkeeper, Ben Foster. Ben, after the last couple
:51:58. > :52:01.of home games I imagine it was getting nervy towards the latter
:52:02. > :52:05.stages? Yeah. It was, to be honest with you. When that final whistle
:52:06. > :52:10.went it was a huge relief. You know what you get from West Ham, aerial
:52:11. > :52:15.balls. When you play a team like that at any given moment you can get
:52:16. > :52:19.a cross into the box, they can Nica scruffy goal. Huge relief. A big win
:52:20. > :52:24.for us. Hugely satisfying for yourself to get a clean sheet. Up to
:52:25. > :52:30.36 points now. Not far from safety? No. You know, within touching
:52:31. > :52:35.distance really. It was a pretty much a must win game. The clean
:52:36. > :52:39.sheet is a bonus. The three points is all that matters. Within touching
:52:40. > :52:43.distance. Three games left to go. Going into those final one or two
:52:44. > :52:47.games of the season you don't want the results to go your way to stay
:52:48. > :52:52.up. It's a big favour for us today. Took a while to find your feet under
:52:53. > :52:57.the new manager. What has Pepe Mel given to you? He likes us to play
:52:58. > :53:02.attacking. It was a contrast in styles. You know what you get from
:53:03. > :53:06.West Ham, like I said. Huge amount of aerial balls. When we got the
:53:07. > :53:09.ball down and counter-attacked really well, we probably could have
:53:10. > :53:13.scored three or four more. Their goalie made a lot of saves. We
:53:14. > :53:16.missed the target a few times. That is what he wants us to do. Get the
:53:17. > :53:21.ball down and play. I think we showed that today. Ing towards after
:53:22. > :53:24.the season, of course, Ben hoping to be part of England's World Cup
:53:25. > :53:29.squad. You retired once now, you are back in the thick of things. Excited
:53:30. > :53:33.about that prospect? Yeah. A huge carrot to aim for really. Just
:53:34. > :53:37.hoping that we stay in the league is the main thing, to be honest with
:53:38. > :53:41.you. Then keep fit and healthy. Then we will see what is what. The main
:53:42. > :53:45.thing is to keep West Brom in the league. Thank you very much, Ben.
:53:46. > :53:54.Impressed by the fact you kept your gloves on throughout the entirety of
:53:55. > :54:00.the interview? Sells brand. Thank you. Was never going to drop that
:54:01. > :54:05.microphone. It wasn't the prettiest game. It was an important result for
:54:06. > :54:08.West Brom? It was. With 36 points now they would be safe with a good
:54:09. > :54:12.goal difference. Berahino got the goal. Shocking defending. Not a
:54:13. > :54:17.pretty goal. They all count the same. Foster kept them in the game
:54:18. > :54:23.with crucial saves. Sessegnon and Mulumbu played well. The goal from
:54:24. > :54:30.Berahino, he kept running. Sessegnon picks the ball up, drives it in. He
:54:31. > :54:36.has to come out there to the ball. What on earth he is doing, I do not
:54:37. > :54:41.know! Berahino taps it in on the line. Terrible defending. He got the
:54:42. > :54:45.goal. They certainly learnt their lessons from their previous two home
:54:46. > :54:49.games, didn't they? Take the ball into the corner. Berahino was guilty
:54:50. > :54:54.of that in the 3-3 draw at home to Cardiff. This in the last-minute.
:54:55. > :54:58.What he is doing there, I do not know. The game after that they drew
:54:59. > :55:02.to Spurs, 3-3, last-minute goal from Spurs. They have learnt their
:55:03. > :55:07.lesson. This is against Cardiff. This comes in the last-minute. 3-3.
:55:08. > :55:11.If they won them two games they would have been safe by now. The
:55:12. > :55:16.pressure would have been off. What the manager says to them, if you are
:55:17. > :55:23.1-0 up in the last-minute. Take the ball into the corner. Points to
:55:24. > :55:30.Morrison. Get into that corn. Do not lose the ball. He has done that.
:55:31. > :55:35.Here, Anichebe, right at the end of the game. Great strength, great
:55:36. > :55:39.power. Look at the crowd's reaction. I have never seen the crowd so
:55:40. > :55:43.excited about someone keeping the ball in the corner. As you can see.
:55:44. > :55:49.Wins the throw-in for his team. See the game out. Watch this. It's like
:55:50. > :55:54.a goal. They are going beserk. Yes, we can keep it in! As for Sam, no
:55:55. > :55:58.laughing there. It has gone pear shaped? Topsy-turvy season for them.
:55:59. > :56:02.The start of the season the priority was keeping in the league. He has
:56:03. > :56:09.done that. Will do that. When they were in big trouble they won four,
:56:10. > :56:14.he was Manager of the Month. Losing the last four matches. A results
:56:15. > :56:18.based industry. When they were in trouble the owners backed him to the
:56:19. > :56:22.hilt. Will they back him at the end of the season? We will wait and see.
:56:23. > :56:25.I don't know if they will back them. They are talking about the style of
:56:26. > :56:29.football. Would they like to play the way the game should be played in
:56:30. > :56:33.the Championship or play that style of football in the Premier League?
:56:34. > :56:37.What do you think the supporters will say? I think they will take the
:56:38. > :56:44.Premier League every time. I' not a West Ham supporter. OK. There's a
:56:45. > :56:46.bumper Match of the Day 2 coming up with hugely significant games at
:56:47. > :57:00.both ends of the table. COMMENTATOR: Another splendid goal.
:57:01. > :57:08.What a glorious goal A brilliant goal from Jason Puncheon. A really
:57:09. > :57:19.good finish. Going for goal. Finds the goal. They are ahead. Match of
:57:20. > :57:22.the Day 2 Extra will provide the pre-match pre-amble, 12.15pm BBC
:57:23. > :57:31.One. The Football League show follows us on BBC One or the
:57:32. > :57:38.iplayer. Coming up tonight all the drama with plenty riding on our
:57:39. > :57:43.feature game as Wigan look to get a play-off place against Blackpool.
:57:44. > :57:46.Clem has been to QPR as they took on Millwall aiming to pull away from
:57:47. > :57:54.the bottom three. Join me if you can after Match of the Day. We are on
:57:55. > :57:58.the iPlayer all week. With Arsenal not in action until Monday, Everton
:57:59. > :58:01.had the chance to climb back into the top four if they could beat a
:58:02. > :58:04.Southampton side three points short of equalling their best ever Premier
:58:05. > :58:10.League return. Jonathan Pearce was at St Mary's Stadium. 18-year-old
:58:11. > :58:16.Sam Gallagher gets his second start for Southampton. Lambert drops
:58:17. > :58:19.deeper. Cork replaces the injured Schneiderlin. Everton have eight
:58:20. > :58:34.players sidelined. They have only won once in 12 visits
:58:35. > :58:46.to Southampton. Two teams who relish possession football. Fonte, played
:58:47. > :58:57.back to him. To his centre-back partner, Lovren. Cork, around the
:58:58. > :59:02.corner.le Here is Lambert, bright start by Southampton. Gallagher is
:59:03. > :59:09.in the middle. It's an own-goal! What a start for Southampton. It's
:59:10. > :59:14.gone in off the hapless Alcaraz. Southampton lead after one minute.
:59:15. > :59:20.He is played a patched up defence, Roberto Martinez. Watch here, the
:59:21. > :59:24.power of Gallagher. Brushes into Alcaraz, unnerved. Never recovered,
:59:25. > :59:28.had to stretch. He beat his own-goal keeper. A lively start by
:59:29. > :59:32.Southampton. They had Everton on the back foot, straightaway. Alcaraz,
:59:33. > :59:40.the flashing header past his own-goal keeper. They cannot afford
:59:41. > :59:43.to slip up here. Southampton the more mobile team. More creative
:59:44. > :00:00.team. Gallacher, no free kick given. Plays
:00:01. > :00:07.it back and Davis arrives, and that was a big chance, he knows it. It
:00:08. > :00:10.goes wide. Alcaraz was ducking in load, the foot was not raised
:00:11. > :00:14.necessarily that high, vision from Rickie Lambert but not the execution
:00:15. > :00:32.required from Stephen Davis. Three in the box, Everton with
:00:33. > :00:39.plenty back. Rickie Lambert, and it has gone in off of Seamus Coleman,
:00:40. > :00:44.another own goal, a dangerous ball in and the Everton defence all at
:00:45. > :00:48.sea, nobody attacked the ball, and it hit Seamus Coleman, and the
:00:49. > :00:54.Everton dreams of a Champions League place are diminishing by the minute.
:00:55. > :01:00.The centre halves were woeful, Alcaraz and John Stones, no great
:01:01. > :01:06.lift off, horrible misjudgement, Southampton two, Everton zero, and
:01:07. > :01:15.Everton have scored them both. They have matured as a Premier League
:01:16. > :01:20.team this season, Southampton. A very long afternoon lies ahead for
:01:21. > :01:26.Everton and their supporters. They must have had to get up at the crack
:01:27. > :01:28.of dawn to get here. The game last season was on a Monday night during
:01:29. > :01:33.the big freeze, with horrible travelling conditions. Another free
:01:34. > :01:37.header in the box. This time, Dejan Lovren. And it perhaps should have
:01:38. > :01:53.been three. Ross Barkley. Deulofeu, with a
:01:54. > :02:00.lovely cross. Lukaku could not get over it. Great work by Deulofeu on
:02:01. > :02:10.the right. Lukaku could not quite climb enough. That is offside.
:02:11. > :02:26.Naismith sneaking in towards Deulofeu. That was very tight.
:02:27. > :02:35.Lambert. Huge spaces for the Southampton midfielder steam-rolled
:02:36. > :02:45.into. -- midfielders to maraud into. He has caught him late. The
:02:46. > :02:50.last time Everton conceded three on their travels in the league was at
:02:51. > :02:56.Liverpool, and Rickie Lambert comes close for Southampton, clipping the
:02:57. > :03:01.outside of the woodwork. Playing well in front of the watching
:03:02. > :03:02.England head coach. There is a better shape about Everton in this
:03:03. > :03:14.second half. That is better from Everton. Russell
:03:15. > :03:23.Osman, risky challenge, I think he's going to book Osman for a dive. It
:03:24. > :03:29.is not every time when a player goes down in the box that it is not a
:03:30. > :03:33.penalty, is it a dive, Russell Osman drew Lavelle, there was contact, the
:03:34. > :03:45.ball was going away from Russell Osman, that is -- from Leon Osman.
:03:46. > :03:59.Aiden McGeady. Round the outside. Decent ball in. McCarthy leaps, and
:04:00. > :04:03.anywhere but there. The first effort on target, and if he headed that in
:04:04. > :04:11.any other part of the goal, it would have gone in. They have come so far
:04:12. > :04:19.this season in the quest for the Grail of Champions League football.
:04:20. > :04:30.Was McCarthy pulled back? Nothing given. Boos from the Everton fans.
:04:31. > :04:35.They think that Dejan Lovren wrestled McCarthy to the ground. He
:04:36. > :04:46.pulled him back there, it would seem. Nathaniel Clyne. Setting it
:04:47. > :04:53.up, the shot by James Ward-Prowse, saved. No denying that Southampton
:04:54. > :04:59.were worthy winners, 2-0, and that is a huge dent in Everton's
:05:00. > :05:05.Champions League ambitions. All the players did an amazing job, beating
:05:06. > :05:11.Everton 2-0, a team fighting to get into the Champions League, a great
:05:12. > :05:17.achievement. The entire team put in an amazing performance. The second
:05:18. > :05:23.half was much improved, should you have had a penalty? That would have
:05:24. > :05:31.been psychologically what we needed. It was a massive blow. We need to
:05:32. > :05:35.get an early goal or a decision going in our favour to react the
:05:36. > :05:42.performance, and that was a key moment. I thought everyone today was
:05:43. > :05:52.on their game, but Adam Lallana was a major influence. All of you could
:05:53. > :05:58.be in when players, yourself, Luke Shaw, Adam Lallana. It was a good
:05:59. > :06:03.game for him to come and watch. We managed to get the better of it
:06:04. > :06:07.today. And full credit to the boys. We enjoyed it.
:06:08. > :06:15.Southampton have equalled their best points tally in a 30 year game
:06:16. > :06:20.Premier League season. They have been very good again. That could be
:06:21. > :06:26.the end of Everton's Champions League hopes. They chose today to
:06:27. > :06:29.have their worst performance of the season. Southampton looked like the
:06:30. > :06:34.team going for Champions League football. From the kick-off, Ross
:06:35. > :06:38.Barkley giving the ball away. These players have been fantastic all
:06:39. > :06:45.season. But here, lethargic, Gareth Barry, indecisive, no options,
:06:46. > :06:51.Southampton on the front foot, and deserving of the win. Again, getting
:06:52. > :06:56.caught in possession. Seamus Coleman with a pass to nobody. He should be
:06:57. > :07:01.up and down the wing, but he's giving the ball away. They have
:07:02. > :07:09.added a bit of impetus, to be fair. It was one of those days. If that
:07:10. > :07:13.was Manchester United last week, they would have tackled him there.
:07:14. > :07:23.Then the centre forward playing in the right back position, running the
:07:24. > :07:27.ball out of play. It is over now. They had one of these days against
:07:28. > :07:33.Crystal Palace, and have the come up short in the quest for the Champions
:07:34. > :07:37.League? You have to give credit to Southampton as well. They have been
:07:38. > :07:44.magnificent. And in a perfect world, it would be great if they could keep
:07:45. > :07:50.hold of their star players. Couple penalty shouts for Everton, Roberto
:07:51. > :07:54.Martin is thought that this one was. There is contact, it is a definite
:07:55. > :08:00.penalty. He gets booked for diving, ridiculous decision. A second one as
:08:01. > :08:04.well, pulling on the shirt, that is also a penalty. We see people
:08:05. > :08:11.getting away with this. He's pulling his shirt. You have got to be
:08:12. > :08:19.definitive, is it a penalty or not? One minute you're telling me it is a
:08:20. > :08:20.penalty and the next minute, not. The law needs clarification. If you
:08:21. > :08:31.pull the shirt, it is a penalty. Stoke City welcomed Spurs to the
:08:32. > :08:34.Brittannia Stadium looking to extend a run of four straight home wins.
:08:35. > :08:36.The visitors have conceded 12 times in their last four away games
:08:37. > :08:47.failing to score in three of them. Guy Mowbray was watching. Bright and
:08:48. > :08:53.breezy at the Britannia Stadium, matching the football Stoke City
:08:54. > :08:55.this season. Peter Crouch may have his Spurs and England days behind
:08:56. > :09:01.him, although some say that Roy Hodgson could do worse than taking
:09:02. > :09:05.to Brazil this summer. At the other end of the career skill, Harry Caine
:09:06. > :09:11.has started the last three league games for Spurs and is guard --
:09:12. > :09:20.scored in everyone. If that goes on, there could be caused to get Kane on
:09:21. > :09:25.the plane! Peter Odemwingie, winning and overrunning.
:09:26. > :09:36.The first bit of spice in the game. Glenn Whelan, studs showing but he
:09:37. > :09:43.was nicely in control of himself. A little cuff on Ryan Shawcross, here.
:09:44. > :09:50.He takes the right elbow of added by all. -- Emmanuel Adebayor. Was it a
:09:51. > :09:57.mere struggle or something more sinister? Mark Hughes has done a
:09:58. > :10:01.tremendous job at Stoke City, on the brink of their best ever Premier
:10:02. > :10:08.League performance. After all the good work that Tony Pulis did before
:10:09. > :10:14.him, it is some achievement. Stephen Ireland, going for gold, good
:10:15. > :10:20.effort. Hugo Lloris was not sure. He went flying to his left, Stephen
:10:21. > :10:22.Ireland looking for his first goal since scoring in the 3-2 victory
:10:23. > :10:42.over Chelsea here in December. Emmanuel Adebayor is onside. Goes
:10:43. > :10:48.past Glenn Whelan, and Danny Rose. That is Stoke City zero, Tottenham
:10:49. > :10:55.Hotspur, one. Neatly nodded in by the left back. Some great approach
:10:56. > :11:00.play by Emmanuel Adebayor. The slip from Geoff Cameron did not help
:11:01. > :11:05.Stoke's calls. That was a free header for Danny Rose. His first
:11:06. > :11:11.Premier -- Premier League goal this season. His first in the league
:11:12. > :11:15.since he scored on his debut with a blockbuster in the North London
:11:16. > :11:26.derby. That was a little bit more routine. And it has given Spurs the
:11:27. > :11:30.lead. Christian Eriksen blocked by Ryan Shawcross. That will be a
:11:31. > :11:36.yellow card. Shawcross, the Stoke City skipper who gave away a penalty
:11:37. > :11:44.for handball at White Hart Lane in December in a comfortable 3-1
:11:45. > :11:50.victory for Spurs, the first win for Tim Sherwood as permanent Spurs
:11:51. > :11:56.manager. Stoke City have lost -- have lost only one of their last 14
:11:57. > :12:00.home games in the Premier League. That will just upset Stoke City and
:12:01. > :12:08.their manager even more. He got a yellow card in the first half, Ryan
:12:09. > :12:16.Shawcross. Andrei Marinette is going to his pocket -- Andre Marriner.
:12:17. > :12:22.Stoke City one goal down and one man down, the fourth red card of his
:12:23. > :12:28.career. It is late, he does catch Danny Rose heavily, Danny Rose
:12:29. > :12:37.tumbled, he was already in midair, worthy of a and yellow card. -- a
:12:38. > :12:44.second yellow card. Relentless doing from the Stoke City supporters for
:12:45. > :12:50.the referee. It was the same referee who sent off Kieran Gibbs wrongly
:12:51. > :12:54.for Arsenal at Chelsea last month, but he got the right man this time.
:12:55. > :13:02.Danny Rose cannot get involved, but he has done. He has been suckered
:13:03. > :13:12.into that by Geoff Cameron. As if it was not hot enough in the middle out
:13:13. > :13:16.there. Danny Rose, the building of the piece as far Stoke City are
:13:17. > :13:22.concerned, and only a yellow card. Listen to this. I wonder if Tim
:13:23. > :13:28.Sherwood is thinking of substituting his left back. Mark Hughes is saying
:13:29. > :13:37.that should be a red card, he has pushed my player in the chest, he
:13:38. > :13:40.has raised his hands. If he played for Stoke, you would send them off,
:13:41. > :13:44.that is the chance that you hear quite a lot around here. Geoff
:13:45. > :13:51.Cameron knew who it was and wanted the reaction that he got. The crowd
:13:52. > :13:59.has played its part, too. Mark Hughes is incensed. Danny Rose is
:14:00. > :14:07.going off. He will applaud the Spurs fans. That might just defuse the
:14:08. > :14:11.atmosphere, because it is poisonous inside the Britannia Stadium right
:14:12. > :14:16.now. Tim Sherwood had to make that change. Danny Rose has been told by
:14:17. > :14:28.his manager to get round the tunnel and get out of there. -- down the
:14:29. > :14:35.tunnel. Good save from Hugo Lloris, weak effort from Marco Arnautovic.
:14:36. > :14:40.He just played the ball into the hands of Hugo Lloris. And that gets
:14:41. > :14:50.more of a reaction from the Stoke manager. You can hear the Stoke
:14:51. > :14:56.crowd singing 1-0 to the referee. Paulinho, in on goal. Good save by
:14:57. > :15:06.Asmir Begovic. Keeping Stoke alive, just. Tim Sherwood is asking, when
:15:07. > :15:07.is it over? And it is over. As soon as this has cleared downfield that
:15:08. > :15:17.will be it. What is your take on it all? Without
:15:18. > :15:20.seeing it again, seeing it first-hand like the referee has
:15:21. > :15:25.done, I thought it was two yellow cards. What can you do? Two yellow
:15:26. > :15:30.cards will make a red card. Mark set them up brilliantly when they went
:15:31. > :15:34.down to 10-men. We didn't play well in possession. We let them have the
:15:35. > :15:38.initiative. It's about three points on the board and digging in. A clean
:15:39. > :15:44.sheet is good for us. The goalkeeper has deserved that clean sheet over
:15:45. > :15:50.the last few weeks. I think Andrew Marrer in (inaudible) has maybe lost
:15:51. > :15:56.confidence. I think a number of occasions where he was, in my view,
:15:57. > :16:01.you would dispute, I felt he was sometimes some of the decisions he
:16:02. > :16:06.made. You can't do that. You have to be sure that what you have given is
:16:07. > :16:10.the correct decision. I just felt today's performance was not the
:16:11. > :16:14.required standard. Mark Hughes had his say. Unhappy with some of the
:16:15. > :16:20.decisions. Presumably including the Shawcross dismissal with two
:16:21. > :16:28.yellows? The first yellow is in no doubt what so ever Leaves his body
:16:29. > :16:32.there. A definite yellow card. Certainty. Leaves his leg out. No
:16:33. > :16:36.question about it. Second one. Shawcross has got his eye on the
:16:37. > :16:41.ball. Danny Rose has too. You can see why the referee gives the yellow
:16:42. > :16:48.card. Two yellows make a red, obviously! There, he has his eye on
:16:49. > :16:52.the ball. Shawcross is unlucky there. You can see why the referee
:16:53. > :16:57.has given a yellow card. I think, you know, his foot is high. He
:16:58. > :17:00.caught Danny Rose. Normally, you would get a yellow card. Another
:17:01. > :17:12.controversial moment involving Shawcross. This time he was on the
:17:13. > :17:16.receiving end. Should Adebayor have received a yellow card? They
:17:17. > :17:21.tangled. He elbowed him. The match might have been different. Big day
:17:22. > :17:28.for Danny Rose, wasn't it? Good management? Absolutely. The whole
:17:29. > :17:32.thing was volatile. He did well. We are about out of time. Thank you
:17:33. > :17:35.very much indeed. We asked you if you thought Ryan Giggs should be the
:17:36. > :17:39.next permanent manager of Manchester United. Well, lots of you have had
:17:40. > :17:47.your view. 2% of you think he should. They agree with Alan Hanson.
:17:48. > :17:57.We will see what tran spires. Let's have a look at the Barclays Premier
:17:58. > :17:59.League table: Everton's defeat means Arsenal need two more wins to
:18:00. > :18:02.guarantee Champions League qualification for a 17th consecutive
:18:03. > :18:05.season. A top-six finish remains possible for Manchester United, that
:18:06. > :18:07.would almost certainly result in Europa League qualification.
:18:08. > :18:10.Fulham's failure to win means Norwich remain just above the bottom
:18:11. > :18:13.three. However, the Canaries will drop into the relegation zone if
:18:14. > :18:18.there's a winner in the game between Sunderland and Cardiff.
:18:19. > :18:35.Let's see what the Sunday papers say:
:18:36. > :18:42.There you go. Ryan Giggs said he wanted to put the smile back on the
:18:43. > :18:50.faces of United fans, as pretty good start. Goodbye. -- a pretty good
:18:51. > :19:02.start. Goodbye. BBC Radio 5 live
:19:03. > :19:07.is where news comes to life. And next week on 5 live Breakfast,
:19:08. > :19:10.we're travelling across the UK to explore the stories
:19:11. > :19:13.that matter to you...
