:00:52. > :00:59.Hello, it is fair to say that this season has been a little slow to
:01:00. > :01:04.ignite, but that has changed after last week's brilliant games. We have
:01:05. > :01:06.another stunning collection, breathtaking goals, top players,
:01:07. > :01:37.controversial incidents. After his heartbreaking defeat at
:01:38. > :01:43.the hands of Mount Kilimanjaro, we hope Robbie Savage can stay for the
:01:44. > :01:47.entirety of the programme! Alan Hansen has always preferred attitude
:01:48. > :01:53.to altitude. We begin at Old Trafford, the champions began with
:01:54. > :02:00.just 11 points from eight games, their worst start in 24 years. Alex
:02:01. > :02:03.Ferguson was in charge then. Stoke have not beaten Manchester United
:02:04. > :02:09.for 20 years, Alex Ferguson was in charge then.
:02:10. > :02:17.Mark Hughes was in the Manchester United team that struggled in 1989.
:02:18. > :02:21.He says they might be vulnerable at the moment, with the caveat that
:02:22. > :02:26.they can get a result when they need one. They got one on Wednesday
:02:27. > :02:30.without Robin van Persie, that he returns to face the team he has
:02:31. > :02:39.scored against the last six times a has led them. Shinji Kagawa and Tom
:02:40. > :02:44.Cleverley start. Mark Hughes has pledged to be positive, there is a
:02:45. > :02:49.recall for Peter Crouch, supported by Jon Walters, Stephen Ireland and
:02:50. > :02:54.Marco on out of edge. Wilson Palacios start in the league for the
:02:55. > :03:10.first time in a year and a half. It did fly. Manchester United
:03:11. > :03:53.stopped full of attacking intent. It is in, a comedy of errors from
:03:54. > :03:57.Manchester United! It has been forced over the line, it is Peter
:03:58. > :04:03.Crouch who celebrates. I think it was an own goal. It is horrible for
:04:04. > :04:08.David Moyes, it is a shameful David De Gea, who had pulled off a
:04:09. > :04:13.wonderful slave. Manchester United up against it at home game. How
:04:14. > :04:22.could Erik Pieters wander through so easily? Jonny Evans plays it against
:04:23. > :04:27.Peter Crouch. It is no wonder Peter Crouch was claiming it. He has never
:04:28. > :04:47.scored in the Premier League at Old Trafford, but he has now.
:04:48. > :04:54.It was in front of Jonny Evans, he could put a boot at the ball and
:04:55. > :04:58.send it over the bar. Jon Walters did the right thing, it is though --
:04:59. > :05:33.it was so close to being 2-0. David De Gea did well to keep Stoke
:05:34. > :05:42.City out before they scored with their first goal, this is an even
:05:43. > :05:46.better save. That is top stuff. Stoke City have already done better
:05:47. > :05:52.than last season, Manchester United had equalised by now. It was not
:05:53. > :06:03.struck totally crisply by Marco on out of edge. He stayed in front of
:06:04. > :06:14.Chris Smalling. It was quite deliberate.
:06:15. > :06:22.A brilliant save, that was going in. Both goalkeepers are at it. Wayne
:06:23. > :07:04.Rooney allowed space, it was dipping under the bar.
:07:05. > :07:13.It is put in by Robin van Persie! A goal for the Dutchman against Stoke
:07:14. > :07:18.City, there always is. Relief for David Moyes and right around Old
:07:19. > :07:24.Trafford. Nani gets it right. Perfectly weighted for Wayne Rooney.
:07:25. > :07:29.It is a little like the Stoke City goal, Asmir Begovic did William
:07:30. > :07:35.Blake, but he could only pop it back out to Robin van Persie. He was not
:07:36. > :07:39.going to miss that opportunity. Seven games in a row in which he has
:07:40. > :07:42.scored against Stoke City, with half-time looming. What a turnaround
:07:43. > :08:08.that could signify. It is a Stoke City free kick. Phil
:08:09. > :08:14.Jones too eager. It is in! Marko Arnautovic scores! What a low-key
:08:15. > :08:18.celebration for a man who has just scored a cracker at Old Trafford to
:08:19. > :08:25.give Stoke City the lead again. Turnaround? Only back in Stoke
:08:26. > :08:31.City's favour. David De Gea got a glove to read, but not enough. There
:08:32. > :08:35.was enough power on it. His first Premier League goal. Too much for
:08:36. > :08:41.the Manchester United goalkeeper and for some Stoke City fans to take,
:08:42. > :08:47.there is great joy in the away end. Manchester United were level for
:08:48. > :09:17.less than two minutes. This must be very strange for him.
:09:18. > :09:25.Ryan Shawcross blocked the shot. You get the feeling if any players are
:09:26. > :09:32.going to get Manchester United back into this, it will be Wayne Rooney
:09:33. > :09:35.or Robin van Persie. David Moyes shuffling from foot to foot, a
:09:36. > :09:52.frustrated manager. Javier Hernandez has made an impact
:09:53. > :09:57.straightaway, Ryan Shawcross has taken issue with the foul, and Asmir
:09:58. > :10:04.Begovic. They claim the foot was raised high. He is high. He has hung
:10:05. > :10:35.a leg. Marc Wilson has bundled him over.
:10:36. > :10:47.Manchester United attempting to get level again. It will be a corner.
:10:48. > :10:57.Manchester United ahead on corners, 10-1. It is in from Wayne Rooney!
:10:58. > :11:05.That is a brilliant header. Steered to perfection. He is not resting, he
:11:06. > :11:10.wants another. That is wonderful from Wayne Rooney. He has got
:11:11. > :11:19.Stephen Ireland with him, he did himself half a yard and has so much
:11:20. > :11:22.to do. A magnificent headed goal. That is his sixth goal of the
:11:23. > :11:43.season, it is for the Premier League.
:11:44. > :11:54.What an afternoon this could be for David Moyes at the end of it all.
:11:55. > :12:00.Javier Hernandez, so often the most super of substitutes, all alone in
:12:01. > :12:03.the box to head home and put Manchester United in front for the
:12:04. > :12:11.first time in the game. Nobody with the Mexican. All of the work that
:12:12. > :12:22.Stoke City had put in, the position, the platform, it has been smashed to
:12:23. > :12:27.pieces in two or three minutes. There was talk before the game of
:12:28. > :12:32.Manchester United being ready to give somebody a battering. This
:12:33. > :12:36.could be significant as well. The old resilience and will to win, they
:12:37. > :12:43.come from behind mentality, this still here. A few minutes ago, he
:12:44. > :12:52.stood on the verge of his 100th victory as her nearly manager, feel
:12:53. > :12:58.-- here of all places, but it is not one until the end.
:12:59. > :13:07.After a game in midweek, it was great they showed the energy. Were
:13:08. > :13:11.you worried it would not come? Yes, at 2-1 down, we had a few
:13:12. > :13:18.opportunities, it sometimes goes that way, but we deserved it in the
:13:19. > :13:23.end, we kept at it, we kept pressing to try and score. We are desperately
:13:24. > :13:29.disappointed to not get anything out of the game. Our performance was
:13:30. > :13:37.fantastic, the goals we have scored. We are disappointed, one was
:13:38. > :13:41.from a set play, and the winner was a good ball in and it was
:13:42. > :13:49.dispatched, but he should not have been on the pitch. Thankfully we
:13:50. > :13:57.scored the third one and won this game. A wonderful cross by Patrice.
:13:58. > :14:01.They get it to me. Might this be the catalyst for a few more comfortable
:14:02. > :14:06.afternoons? Maybe it will be like this for a while. If it is, I will
:14:07. > :14:10.happily take these type of victories no matter how they come. Wasn't a
:14:11. > :14:14.flowing performance. It was the kind of performance we have seen in the
:14:15. > :14:18.past, not at their best, they have come back to win? I think it was
:14:19. > :14:23.probably the biggest game of David Moyes' career. The if he gets beaten
:14:24. > :14:28.or draws today the league is effectively over. Because they
:14:29. > :14:33.played so badly for 75 minutes, Stoke was excellent for 75 minutes
:14:34. > :14:38.it was a massive victory for them. Defensively all over the place.
:14:39. > :14:44.Lightweight. The super front up front kept them in the game and
:14:45. > :14:48.eventually won the game. Stoke will be disappointed. They are talking
:14:49. > :15:00.about the tackle. Another day it might have been red. They could have
:15:01. > :15:05.been three up before United scored. First 20 minutes, Arnautovic picks
:15:06. > :15:09.the ball up here. He goes past three quite easily. No cover. Evra is late
:15:10. > :15:16.going back. Great first save. They don't react quickly enough, it's in
:15:17. > :15:20.the back of the net. Smalling say to Jones, pick up Crouch. He doesn't
:15:21. > :15:26.get over quick enough. Doesn't prevent the cross going in. Crouch
:15:27. > :15:33.comes in, probably should have scored. You pick up Evra here. He is
:15:34. > :15:40.with Crouch. He gets between Evans and evil rat. That's a great a
:15:41. > :15:50.terrific save. Stoke will be disappointed. They put so much into
:15:51. > :15:57.the game. # It has been well documented the
:15:58. > :16:02.lack of creativity by United. Rooney didn't want it there. If you are
:16:03. > :16:06.going to pass it to him you have to ping it to him. Leaves Wayne well
:16:07. > :16:12.short. They are on the attack. This one here, it leads to the goal. That
:16:13. > :16:16.is really poor. The tackle is poor by Cleverley. He struggled all
:16:17. > :16:20.afternoon. His passing was off. This was a kid that two or three years
:16:21. > :16:24.ago we thought was going to be one of the best in the Premier League,
:16:25. > :16:30.but this afternoon he just had a bad day. Picks up here. Lots of space.
:16:31. > :16:35.Tries to play into Nani, poor again. Nani got booed off by the United
:16:36. > :16:39.supporters, he was lightweight every time it got played up to him.
:16:40. > :16:47.Lightweight there, on the deck. Stoke on the attack. Kagawa, he
:16:48. > :16:53.couldn't get over there quickly enough. Ducks out of that one. Stoke
:16:54. > :16:59.on the attack again. The three of them were involved here, Nani,
:17:00. > :17:03.initially, not strong enough there. Shrugged off it again. Cleverley and
:17:04. > :17:09.Kagawa in the middle of the park. When it's picked up here, the two of
:17:10. > :17:14.them, ease. No-one gets there quick enough. Again, Stoke on the attack.
:17:15. > :17:19.It was so easy. After... 75 minutes you are thinking, there ain't anyway
:17:20. > :17:22.back for United. Unless you have two world-class strikers? Unless you
:17:23. > :17:26.have the best two in the Premier League. Rooney is having a
:17:27. > :17:30.phenomenonal time at the minute. Question marks last year about his
:17:31. > :17:35.fitness and commitment. Last four or five games, unbelievable good. Van
:17:36. > :17:39.Persie picks it up here we will track him, how many yards does he
:17:40. > :17:43.make to get into this box? It's a great save by Begovic. He is right
:17:44. > :17:47.in that spot, middle of the goals where the great strikers are. No
:17:48. > :17:52.danger they're is going to go in. The header here. He make it is look
:17:53. > :17:57.easily. It's brilliant. One out, one in. Tla is absolutely fantastic.
:17:58. > :18:00.People talk about the top four, they will finish in the top four because
:18:01. > :18:04.they have the best two strikers in the league. Can you see them
:18:05. > :18:09.competing for the title the way they are looking? I don't think they will
:18:10. > :18:14.finish in the top four I think Suarez and Sturridge are the best to
:18:15. > :18:23.at the minute in the Premier League. I think the fear factor is gone. I'm
:18:24. > :18:28.a massive Liverpool fan you would rather play against Suarez... As a
:18:29. > :18:34.pair. Rather than Rooney and van Persie. We will see that now.
:18:35. > :18:39.Our next game is at Anfield where Liverpool were hoping to continue
:18:40. > :18:42.their promising start to the season by beating West Brom.
:18:43. > :18:44.The Baggies though have won the previous three Barclays Premier
:18:45. > :18:47.League meetings between the clubs. Steve Wilson saw this one. Steven
:18:48. > :18:49.Gerrard makes his 450th league appearance, yet another landmark.
:18:50. > :18:53.Henderson and he may be particularly keen to impress after both were the
:18:54. > :18:59.subject of comments in Sir Alex Fergusson's book, which will not be
:19:00. > :19:04.a bestseller on Merseyside. Anelka comes into the Albion team. Albion
:19:05. > :19:09.unbeaten in five, including their win at Old Trafford. They haven't
:19:10. > :19:17.won there and here in the same season since 1922.
:19:18. > :19:24.Mulumbu, found back Yacob. Plenty forward here. That is a slip, not a
:19:25. > :19:45.trip. Found Sturridge. Sturridge back into
:19:46. > :19:53.Suarez. West Bromwich Albion in incensed. McAuley in particular.
:19:54. > :19:59.Played back in to Luis Suarez, was there a shirt pull here. There
:20:00. > :20:02.appeared to be a shirt pull on him and likewise on Suarez. One was the
:20:03. > :20:06.subject of a huge appeal, the other wasn't.
:20:07. > :20:18.Suarez, great control. Brilliant skill by Suarez. A fantastic goal!
:20:19. > :20:22.That's a special goal from Luis Suarez, even by his standards, that
:20:23. > :20:26.is a real peach. Didn't seem to be a lot on here. He took on three. He
:20:27. > :20:37.beat three. Liverpool lead. Away from Yacob. Knocked it one side
:20:38. > :20:45.of Olsson, skipped the other and drove it beyond Myhill. Luis Suarez
:20:46. > :20:49.one, West Brom nil. Unbeaten in five games coming into this someone Steve
:20:50. > :20:51.Clarke and West Bromwich Albion. They will do well to keep that run
:20:52. > :21:08.going. Suarez with the header and it's two.
:21:09. > :21:14.Liverpool are 2-0 up. They have only played 17 minutes and he has scored
:21:15. > :21:18.twice already. A little element of luck about the way this came to
:21:19. > :21:22.Suarez, there is nothing lucky about the header.
:21:23. > :21:31.Liverpool double their lead. Sakho did well to get there. It just
:21:32. > :21:39.happened to end up being a perfect cross for Luis Suarez to divert the
:21:40. > :22:04.power into the top corner. Absolute box of snakes Luis Suarez is.
:22:05. > :22:14.Lucas being urged to shoot, Mulumbu in the way. Gerrard, Henderson. They
:22:15. > :22:20.are almost queueing up here, Liverpool. Lucas was being urged to
:22:21. > :22:22.shoot by the Liverpool fans. Gerrard fed Henderson. He did shoot, he
:22:23. > :22:33.wasn't far away. That's a great ball from Mulumbu.
:22:34. > :22:37.Anelka is in there. Skrtel has to put it behind for a corner.
:22:38. > :22:41.Liverpool having very nearly made it three at one end, they were nearly
:22:42. > :22:47.caught out at the other. Lovely ball. Inch-perfect for Anelka who
:22:48. > :22:57.couldn't quite find the finish. It's a corner. Morrison to take it.
:22:58. > :23:04.Skrtel fell on top of Gareth McAuley there. I'm not surprised that the
:23:05. > :23:10.defender is barking at Jonathan Moss if that is not a penalty, what is.
:23:11. > :23:18.You would have to say that Gareth McAuley here has a real case.
:23:19. > :23:28.Here's Daniel Sturridge. It's a free-kick against Yacob. He is
:23:29. > :23:32.reaching for his pocket here. I think that's not really for that
:23:33. > :23:37.foul. There we are, there is Jonathan Moss make it clear it's an
:23:38. > :23:45.accumulation of offences by Yacob that brought him the first yellow of
:23:46. > :23:52.the game. Good pace on that. Hat-trick, Suarez. Luis Suarez with
:23:53. > :24:00.his first Anfield hat-trick. His fourth for the club, his first on
:24:01. > :24:05.home turf. Liverpool three, West Bromwich Albion nil, Liverpool,
:24:06. > :24:12.surely now, are out of sight. Great delivery. Suarez just had to get a
:24:13. > :24:20.touch. Myhill was practically stationary. 3-0. Three for Suarez,
:24:21. > :24:24.who has doubled his tally for the season already this afternoon.
:24:25. > :24:32.Liverpool, at the moment, heading for their biggest win of the season,
:24:33. > :24:36.West Brom their biggest defeat. Skrtel's clearance has turned into a
:24:37. > :24:41.great ball for Daniel Sturridge. Running ATOLson here. He goes for
:24:42. > :24:57.goal, and hits the bar. Nearly lifted the goal out of the ground.
:24:58. > :25:06.-- at Olsso fwh. -- Olsson. No penalty there. The linesman is
:25:07. > :25:10.saying penalty. It's a penalty to West Bromwich Albion. He raised his
:25:11. > :25:17.flag. I don't think the referee was in any mind to give this. It must be
:25:18. > :25:21.for the sliding challenge for Lucas. Whether Sakho may have got a slight
:25:22. > :25:26.touch as well. It is a penalty to West Bromwich Albion. James Morrison
:25:27. > :25:30.to take this. Mignolet saved a penalty on his Liverpool debut, you
:25:31. > :25:36.will remember, against Stoke. Morrison scored in a shoot-out in
:25:37. > :25:41.the League Cup against Arsenal. Morrison against Mignolet, and
:25:42. > :25:48.scores. Liverpool three, West Bromwich Albion one. That penalty
:25:49. > :25:57.decision has changed the entire complexion and mood inside Anfield.
:25:58. > :26:01.McAuley's head, Henderson. Mulumbu. It comes to Daniel Sturridge.
:26:02. > :26:07.Sturridge, Gerrard ahead of him. Still going. A lovely chip. Oh, I
:26:08. > :26:14.say, what a goal! That was worth the wait from Daniel Sturridge. If at
:26:15. > :26:21.first you don't succeed, try, try again. Sturridge has certainly done
:26:22. > :26:28.that. He's just drifted in his tenth goal of the season. It's a beauty.
:26:29. > :26:36.What about that? Absolutely inch-perfect.
:26:37. > :26:42.What a goal. He's had to look on whilst Suarez has taken the
:26:43. > :26:56.plaudits. He might just have scored the goal of the game.
:26:57. > :27:05.Suarez is there. So unlucky. Brilliant save by Myhill to touch it
:27:06. > :27:31.onto the bar. He scored three. Now, he's hit the bar as well.
:27:32. > :27:36.And Morrison. Mignolet denies Morrison. I have to hand it to West
:27:37. > :27:40.Bromwich Albion, it has been refreshing to see a side who knows
:27:41. > :27:44.they are going to lose the game still trying to I a tack. Luis
:27:45. > :27:50.Suarez is coming off. In the five games that Suarez and Sturridge have
:27:51. > :27:55.played together this season, Daniel Sturridge has scored four, and Luis
:27:56. > :28:02.Suarez has scored six. Three of them today. Standing ovation, well
:28:03. > :28:06.deserved. It was an outstanding team performance, the boys at the top end
:28:07. > :28:11.of the field get a lot of the credit of course because the hardest thing
:28:12. > :28:14.in football is to score. Their goals were brilliant. In the dressing room
:28:15. > :28:19.at half-time the boys were adamant it was a penalty. 2-1 at half-time
:28:20. > :28:25.would make a big difference. We missed a good chance on half-time.
:28:26. > :28:29.There wasn't enough purchase on the ball to get it over the line.
:28:30. > :28:34.Liverpool played better than us, the front two are a real handful. Were
:28:35. > :28:39.you bothered by what Alex Fergusson wrote about you? It doesn't bother
:28:40. > :28:42.me too much. I have a lot of respect for Sir Alex Fergusson. I have a lot
:28:43. > :28:46.of respect for him. I will take what he said on board hopefully it
:28:47. > :28:54.doesn't cause us problems in the future. Henderson was outstanding
:28:55. > :28:59.today. Athletically he was good, pressed the ball and getting better
:29:00. > :29:03.all the time and Steven is a top, top, top player. I think he made his
:29:04. > :29:17.point. Here is your chance to make your point.
:29:18. > :29:29.This was before the game, Steve Clarke says, I will destroy your
:29:30. > :29:35.team single-handedly! That is the Luis Suarez of old, we do not want
:29:36. > :29:41.to see that. A great not make, he knows where the goal is. He never
:29:42. > :29:47.looks at the target. He fires it into the bottom corner. This is the
:29:48. > :29:53.header, he plays the ball wide, he continues his run. I have not seen a
:29:54. > :30:02.better header. 38 miles an hour, I cannot kick it out hard. Ridiculous.
:30:03. > :30:08.He has got everything. Easy passing. A quick free kick. He is always
:30:09. > :30:15.switched on, looking to do a positive thing. A fantastic header.
:30:16. > :30:21.And an overhead kick to finish it off, he was magnificent. He is a
:30:22. > :30:28.wonderfully talented player. Brendan Rogers and the Liverpool board today
:30:29. > :30:34.well -- did well to keep him. He has shown on the pitch what he can do.
:30:35. > :30:41.He is the best player in the Premier League. I think the other
:30:42. > :30:48.partnership is better. The amount of times they passed to each other, as
:30:49. > :30:51.a combination. Wayne Rooney is the best player in the Premier League,
:30:52. > :30:58.but as a pair, I would take those two. I do not think you can say
:30:59. > :31:05.after ten games. But as a central defender, I would rather play
:31:06. > :31:11.against Luis Suarez and Daniel Sturridge. I was going to ask how
:31:12. > :31:19.many titles they had one! Jordan Henderson, maligned by Sir Alex
:31:20. > :31:26.Ferguson, he questioned his posture. It did not seem to affect his
:31:27. > :31:30.performance. I echo Brendan Rogers's comments, he does the dirty
:31:31. > :31:36.things well. He knows there are better players around him. He did
:31:37. > :31:42.city Steven Gerrard, Luis Suarez. Running around. Look at the
:31:43. > :31:48.aggression, winning the ball back. He has got a place in this team. He
:31:49. > :31:54.plays the ball, he follows it. This is the confidence, he looks the
:31:55. > :32:02.other way. He would not tried that a year ago. The range of passing, he
:32:03. > :32:08.has come on leaps and bounds. He knows what he will be before he gets
:32:09. > :32:14.the ball. He did not get his hips and knees right! 50 yards in six
:32:15. > :32:20.seconds. Nothing wrong with his running style bear. He is a
:32:21. > :32:25.fantastic player. He can be a key player for Liverpool. I thought his
:32:26. > :32:32.interview was very good. He said the right things. Respectful. He has got
:32:33. > :32:40.a hand in the goal. This is Daniel Sturridge, look at that for a goal.
:32:41. > :32:46.I thought you were talking about partnerships, not individually!
:32:47. > :32:52.Whatever you say, some wonderful goals. It can be a cruel place, the
:32:53. > :32:58.Premier League, ask Ian Holloway. One minute you are chirpy, the next,
:32:59. > :33:05.you have fallen on your sword. Crystal Palace played Arsenal.
:33:06. > :33:12.Without a point since the end of August, and now a visit from
:33:13. > :33:15.Arsenal, there is a fair chance things might get worse for Crystal
:33:16. > :33:19.Palace before they start to get better. Marouane Chamakh lines up
:33:20. > :33:23.against his former club for the first time since his move across
:33:24. > :33:30.London. It is one of six changes made by Keith Millen. Arsenal have
:33:31. > :33:34.Santi Cazorla back in the starting line-up, and Mathieu Flamini
:33:35. > :33:48.returns. Jack Wilshere and Tomas Rosicky are on the bench.
:33:49. > :33:59.Bacary Sagna's cross. Arsenal beaten in the Champions League bridal want
:34:00. > :34:05.at home. It ended a 12 match unbeaten run. It has been an
:34:06. > :34:08.excellent start to the season. A free kick for the foul by Aaron
:34:09. > :34:30.Ramsey on Marouane Chamakh. Damien Delaney was only a yard away
:34:31. > :34:37.from getting on the end of it. They are getting closer. Ian Holloway
:34:38. > :34:39.leaving on Wednesday, he said they needed an impetus of energy. Crystal
:34:40. > :35:06.Palace working so hard here. Flashing across the face of goal,
:35:07. > :35:14.Kagisho Dikgacoi almost paid for that. It looked so promising. Santi
:35:15. > :35:18.Cazorla right in on goal, and look at how close Olivier Giroud was.
:35:19. > :35:41.Crystal Palace closing down the avenues more often than not.
:35:42. > :35:48.Julian Speroni coming to the rescue for Crystal Palace. It has been a
:35:49. > :35:50.long time since Crystal Palace enjoyed success over Arsenal at
:35:51. > :36:03.home, 34 years. Right on the edge of the penalty
:36:04. > :36:08.area. Arsenal getting a free kick right on the edge of the box, it was
:36:09. > :36:14.right on the line. Damien Delaney is a bit lucky there. Arsenal have
:36:15. > :36:16.scored three times as many goals as Crystal Palace in the Premier League
:36:17. > :36:32.so far this season. Arsenal have a penalty. Inside the
:36:33. > :36:39.first minute of the second half. Now, the chance to take the lead.
:36:40. > :36:49.Serge Gnabry, the substitute, fouled by Adlene Guedioura.
:36:50. > :36:55.It is 1-0 to Arsenal, the perfect start to the second half for
:36:56. > :37:00.Arsenal. Mikel Arteta scores from the spot. Julian Speroni went the
:37:01. > :37:05.right way, it could not get his hands to the ball. Mikel Arteta
:37:06. > :37:12.making sure his kick was confidently dispatched. Steve Parish was not
:37:13. > :37:15.even in his seat for the start of the second half, he missed the goal.
:37:16. > :37:29.How will Crystal Palace respond? That deflection merely carried it
:37:30. > :37:32.home. Crystal Palace very close to conceding for the second time in the
:37:33. > :37:39.first five minutes of the second half. Arsenal had age and is run on
:37:40. > :37:55.the road, unbeaten in 13 competitive matches.
:37:56. > :38:02.The crowd howling about that challenge on Marouane Chamakh. The
:38:03. > :38:10.referee reaches for his pocket. It is a straight red card for Mikel
:38:11. > :38:17.Arteta. Here it is again, Mikel Arteta blocked off the path of
:38:18. > :38:22.Marouane Chamakh. There was nobody else anywhere nearby in a yellow
:38:23. > :38:26.shirt. He was the last defender, and Marouane Chamakh went hurtling
:38:27. > :38:33.forward. Arsenal will play the rest of this match, 25 minutes, with ten
:38:34. > :38:40.men. Per Mertesacker takes over as captain. They are still looking for
:38:41. > :38:52.the equalising goal, they have not threatened for quite a while.
:38:53. > :39:00.He rattled the bar with that one. Crystal Palace so close to an
:39:01. > :39:13.equalising goal. Wojciech Szczesny needed to be at his best to preserve
:39:14. > :39:19.Arsenal's lead. What a save! Wojciech Szczesny had to be on his
:39:20. > :39:25.toes to keep that one out. It was brilliantly struck by Mile Jedinak.
:39:26. > :39:29.Superbly saved. Keith Millen must be wondering what his side have to do
:39:30. > :39:45.to beat Arsenal's Polish international goalkeeper.
:39:46. > :39:54.Olivier Giroud completes the victory for Arsenal. Three minutes to go,
:39:55. > :39:59.2-0, they lead. Crystal Palace caught out right at the end of the
:40:00. > :40:04.match. Keith Millen's team had been so close to an equaliser on at least
:40:05. > :40:12.two occasions. But here, Olivier Giroud has surely comes's sealed the
:40:13. > :40:15.points for Arsenal. He had the pace to get away from Damien Delaney and
:40:16. > :40:24.he guided the header past Julian Speroni. Arsenal heading to three
:40:25. > :40:30.more points. Despite the sending-off of Mikel Arteta in the second half.
:40:31. > :40:36.The organisation was terrific, and we grew into the game and created
:40:37. > :40:41.some half chances. At half-time, we said we needed to start sharp and
:40:42. > :40:47.play off the front and try to get them on the back foot, that we gave
:40:48. > :40:55.away a soft penalty. It is a soft goal to concede. We were mature,
:40:56. > :41:00.resilient, well organised. Honestly, we were unlucky to go down to ten
:41:01. > :41:05.men. We needed to be patient. I was very proud to lead them out today,
:41:06. > :41:11.and even prouder with their effort and performance. It was not for me,
:41:12. > :41:14.it was for themselves. It was for the fans.
:41:15. > :41:27.Arsenal's emphatic start continues. It took them a while to wear Crystal
:41:28. > :41:31.Palace down. Yes, 118 passes in the first ten minutes, against 17 of
:41:32. > :41:40.Crystal Palace. They could not get through them. They were set in and
:41:41. > :41:44.saying, come and break us down. Eventually, they will break you
:41:45. > :41:54.down. It happened from a reckless challenge in the end. Crystal
:41:55. > :42:00.Palace, so many men back. A poor pass, and they were well set. Five
:42:01. > :42:05.or ten minutes before half-time, that is a definite penalty. It is in
:42:06. > :42:10.the box. They got away with that one, but they did not learn their
:42:11. > :42:16.lesson, because Adlene Guedioura, it is an idiotic challenge. What on
:42:17. > :42:25.earth is he thinking of their? It has cost his team. It is not good.
:42:26. > :42:30.It is poor play, they had worked so hard. A good penalty. Once you get
:42:31. > :42:37.behind, it is more difficult. This Arsenal side, you have found a flaw.
:42:38. > :42:45.It is great, watching them, they will throw you will applaud you.
:42:46. > :42:52.Sometimes both! The sending-off, it has been well documented about them
:42:53. > :42:58.without the ball. In 2010, if you have a set play, you make provisions
:42:59. > :43:04.for the counterattack. But this is a shambles. Steven Pienaar, he comes
:43:05. > :43:10.through, the Arsenal defence get caught. The opening game of the
:43:11. > :43:18.season, this year, have they learned their lesson? Not a chance. This is
:43:19. > :43:23.against Aston Villa. The two men here are the back men. You have got
:43:24. > :43:30.to have one in the centre circle and one just in front of him. It is
:43:31. > :43:35.unbelievably bad. You do not see it very often. You hardly ever see it
:43:36. > :43:41.unless Arsenal are playing. It happens again today. This is from an
:43:42. > :43:48.Arsenal corner kick. It is a shambles. A total shambles. Mikel
:43:49. > :43:56.Arteta is the back man, he gets sent off. At 1-0 up, it is crazy, you
:43:57. > :44:01.have got to have a Mander. Where Mikel Arteta is, somebody on the
:44:02. > :44:12.right-hand side, who will not get sucked into play.
:44:13. > :44:20.He heads it there. He goes forward. He looks back there and looks back
:44:21. > :44:25.again, another look back. Decides, I'm in 40 yards of space here.
:44:26. > :44:30.Arteta comes across and, you know... As I say, if you are 4-0 down and
:44:31. > :44:37.chasing, that is different. These are the next 10 games Arsenal play:
:44:38. > :44:43.tough one against Southampton. I think that because they are not
:44:44. > :44:50.their best without the ball they cannot possibly win the title. Can't
:44:51. > :44:57.see it. OK. This is Liverpool's next 10 matches, make your point? The top
:44:58. > :45:02.two sides the next 10 matches we will decide how good they are. The
:45:03. > :45:07.next 10 matches for Liverpool are equally as hard. People are saying
:45:08. > :45:14.it's the most open season, I don't see it that way, I think the winners
:45:15. > :45:20.will come from the games tomorrow, Chelsea and Manchester City. Look at
:45:21. > :45:23.Crystal Palace, Ian Holloway said a lot of new signings that he didn't
:45:24. > :45:33.think they worked. You picked one out in particular. Chamakh. Palace
:45:34. > :45:37.fans phoned in to say they did OK. He jumped here far too early. When
:45:38. > :45:42.you have no possession of the ball and it's hard for you you want the
:45:43. > :45:45.centre forward to hold the ball up and bring people into play. Today he
:45:46. > :45:49.was lightweight. I thought he was poor, time and time again the ball
:45:50. > :45:56.was nicked off him. It was not good enough. Again, giving the ball away.
:45:57. > :46:02.He had two shots on target in 10 hours of Premier League football. He
:46:03. > :46:05.is playing against his old club. He has come from Arsenal. I expect him
:46:06. > :46:09.to be better than that. Set an example to the rest of your team.
:46:10. > :46:14.This is at Stoke. Watch this for a challenge. That is pathetic. I
:46:15. > :46:18.think, listen, here. Instead of going down, go round the keeper and
:46:19. > :46:27.put the ball in the back of an empty net. I might be harsh... You are
:46:28. > :46:34.being a little harsh. I expect more from him. I think you are spot on.
:46:35. > :46:38.You would never have thought two fans would have phoned you and said
:46:39. > :46:45.he was brilliant. I will move on quickly.
:46:46. > :46:48.Today is the 150th birthday of the Football Association.
:46:49. > :46:52.Their inaugaral meetings in 1863 drew up the laws of the game.
:46:53. > :46:55.The sticking point was hacking or kicking an opponent on the leg,
:46:56. > :46:58.which Blackheath FC wanted to keep. Sadly, for Robbie Savage's career,
:46:59. > :47:01.they lost the argument. A century and a half on, the most
:47:02. > :47:04.played fixture in English football, Aston Villa versus Everton, was
:47:05. > :47:06.staged for the 197th time in commemoration.
:47:07. > :47:11.It was observed at Villa Park by Steve Bower. It has been billed as
:47:12. > :47:16.the battle of the Belgians. Benteke has 17 Premier League goals in his
:47:17. > :47:26.last 21 games and starts for Aston Villa for the first time in over a
:47:27. > :47:34.month after a hip injury. The Lukaku has helped his team with 15 Premier
:47:35. > :47:45.League goals in this year. Pienaar is the visitor's only change.
:47:46. > :47:53.Is he caught there? It looked like it. Penalty. Coleman on Benteke,
:47:54. > :47:58.less than seven-minutes gone. I don't think the referee had any
:47:59. > :48:04.other option. It was the sheer pace and power of Christian Benteke.
:48:05. > :48:09.Christian Benteke, who has taken five penalties for Villa, scored
:48:10. > :48:14.four of them. Can't score that one. Denied by Tim Howard.
:48:15. > :48:23.Benteke, for the second time in his Villa career, sees a penalty saved.
:48:24. > :48:32.It was a nice height for Howard who guessed correctly. # Seven of the
:48:33. > :48:42.last nine meetings between these two clubs have been drawn.
:48:43. > :48:50.Benteke has stayed onside. It's Christian Benteke. He is denied by
:48:51. > :48:56.Howard again. Twice Benteke has had the opportunity to give Villa the
:48:57. > :49:02.lead. Twice Tim Howard has denied. It most inside Villa Park would have
:49:03. > :49:11.backed Benteke all the way here. Howard kept him out.
:49:12. > :49:19.It has been an open first half. Agbonlahor, again no flag. It's
:49:20. > :49:24.Weimann. Again, Tim Howard to Everton's rescue. Weimann couldn't
:49:25. > :49:28.follow it up. That is way off target from the Bulgarian.
:49:29. > :49:36.Did anyone touch this? It doesn't look as though they did. It was a
:49:37. > :49:42.sweeper's-like tackle from the Everton goalkeeper that was all the
:49:43. > :49:51.important one before Tonev's wild effort. The English manager will be
:49:52. > :50:02.part of the celebrations in London tonight.
:50:03. > :50:13.It's towards Lukaku. What a stop from Guzan. Both respected Belgians
:50:14. > :50:16.denied by the American goalkeepers. Fabulous save from the Villa
:50:17. > :50:19.goalkeeper. Relentless pace to this game. I'm sure he is wondering now
:50:20. > :50:34.how it's still nil, nil too. Barkley, deflected! Off the
:50:35. > :50:40.crossbar. Great vision from Ross Barkley and the fortune almost
:50:41. > :50:44.favoured Everton. Coleman with the throw. Lukaku, posing a problem
:50:45. > :50:54.again. He might make something of this. Powering his way through.
:50:55. > :50:57.Denied by Guzan. Villa couldn't stop him there. It was left to their
:50:58. > :51:20.goalkeeper to deny Romelu Lukaku. Lukaku went flying in. Taylor was
:51:21. > :51:26.right on-the-spot there. It's a yellow card for James McCarthy. He
:51:27. > :51:34.was always committed. He didn't get the ball, he certainly got the man.
:51:35. > :51:47.A good run from Osman, into Lukaku. 1-0 to Everton, five in five for
:51:48. > :51:54.Everton. For Romelu Lukaku. It is Everton's Belgian that breaks the
:51:55. > :51:59.deadlock. He's at it again. Lovely vision from Leon Osman here. He had
:52:00. > :52:07.too much space, Lukaku. He punished Villa for it. Guzan beaten down to
:52:08. > :52:09.his right hand side. Lukaku's 16th Premier League goal of 2013. It's a
:52:10. > :53:01.difficult one for him to take. Look at the space here for Barry.
:53:02. > :53:07.Then Osman! 2-0, Everton. Leon Osman with his first of the season. To
:53:08. > :53:13.double Everton's advantage. Beautifully worked. Look at the time
:53:14. > :53:18.and space Barry had. He had the awareness to see Osman who calmly
:53:19. > :53:23.rolled that into the bottom corner. His first Premier League goal since
:53:24. > :53:29.March. It's one that makes the task extremely difficult now for Aston
:53:30. > :53:33.Villa. Today was a great game you need to give credit to both sides
:53:34. > :53:38.they were attacking minded in the first half. We have Tim Howard to
:53:39. > :53:42.thank to keep us in the game in a manner and then second-half I
:53:43. > :53:46.thought we controlled the game and we deserved to win. You seem like
:53:47. > :53:51.you have hit the ground running, to use that expression. You settled in
:53:52. > :53:55.quickly, what do you put that down to? My team-mates first of all the
:53:56. > :54:00.manager and the technical staff. Since day one, when I arrived, they
:54:01. > :54:06.tried to work on every aspect of my game. Negative and positively. From
:54:07. > :54:10.day one I knew where they wanted to go with me. I'm enjoying that
:54:11. > :54:18.experience and try to give my best on the pitch. You know, help the
:54:19. > :54:23.team win. We should have been 3 up with the penalty. Big moments in
:54:24. > :54:27.games. That is the way football is. We can't be too harsh on the lads
:54:28. > :54:33.more times than not they have scored. The stats keep going well,
:54:34. > :54:38.how far can this go? Is this perhaps even beyond their expectations? No,
:54:39. > :54:43.I think what you get is the hard work from a very committed group of
:54:44. > :54:48.players, a group of players that we have a nice blend in terms of
:54:49. > :54:52.players with real experience and know how and youngsters who want
:54:53. > :54:57.direction and desperate to bring the talent into the team. We fulfill our
:54:58. > :55:00.potential by all means and it's good to develop while you are winning
:55:01. > :55:04.games. That is very, very important for us to carry on and pushing each
:55:05. > :55:10.other to fulfill our potential. Another fine win for Everton. But
:55:11. > :55:18.for two goal keeping performances that game could be anything,
:55:19. > :55:23.couldn't it? Every game Barry has started Everton has won, I don't
:55:24. > :55:28.think that is a coincidence? No. Today, he was magnificent. His
:55:29. > :55:36.passing range, the switch of play here. Almost 60 yards he hits this
:55:37. > :55:42.ball. Fantastic pass. You don't really... Barry and passing doesn't
:55:43. > :55:48.really go together am he keeps it simple and links play. He is doing
:55:49. > :55:55.well. In front of Benteke, you need someone to be here all the time,
:55:56. > :56:01.Delph has made the run. He sees the danger. He clears it very, very
:56:02. > :56:11.well. He did it all afternoon. Tim Howard was the real hero. Barry's
:56:12. > :56:17.effort goes unnoticed. He gets the ball. He passed it simple all
:56:18. > :56:26.afternoon. Again here. The dirty work, sending Agbonlahor wide. As a
:56:27. > :56:30.midfield player you help the four backs so well. He knows the centre
:56:31. > :56:37.forward has got tight. He wins the ball, plays it, easy pass. He is out
:56:38. > :56:42.of his defensive role. Looks up. Waits for the run of Osman and picks
:56:43. > :56:48.him out with a perfectly weighted pass. Barry was magnificent. His
:56:49. > :56:53.midfield partner might be lucky not to get a red card? I thought it was
:56:54. > :56:58.a red card. He got punished with a yellow. 0-0 at the time, big point
:56:59. > :57:03.of the game. He is right there. Has to be a red card. Has to be a red
:57:04. > :57:12.card. The ref saw it, he gave a yellow. The it could have been a
:57:13. > :57:14.different story for Aston Villa. As ever, the Football League Show
:57:15. > :57:19.follows us tonight. Here's Manish with the details. No
:57:20. > :57:25.prizes for guessing our feature game in the Championship as the top two
:57:26. > :57:31.met at Turf Moore. At the other end we have a best of a South Yorkshire

:57:53. > :57:54.mid-week Capital One Cup ties, BBC One 11.05pm.

:57:58. > :58:00.talking points. BBC One and Radio 5 Live at 12.15pm
:58:01. > :58:25.on Sunday lunchtime ahead of a bumper edition of the show itself.
:58:26. > :58:30.What an excellent start to the season Southampton have had, their
:58:31. > :58:33.best in fact in the top flight for 30 years.
:58:34. > :58:34.They hosted a Fulham side who'd been struggling until a spectacular
:58:35. > :58:52.display at Crystal Palace on Monday. This is one of the rarer London
:58:53. > :59:04.Premier League derbies and the managers desperately need a win.
:59:05. > :59:11.That is a brilliant shot into the back of the net. What a goal for
:59:12. > :59:15.Fulham. Against the run of play. You will not see a better strike than
:59:16. > :59:24.that in the Premier League this season. It is another phenomenal
:59:25. > :59:31.goal, where are these shots coming from? It is a long way back for
:59:32. > :59:40.Crystal Palace now. It is a goal for Fulham and they are threatening to
:59:41. > :59:47.run riot. Under a lot of pressure. Colin McNamara was back on duty at
:59:48. > :59:51.Saint Mary 's. Southampton have only conceded three
:59:52. > :59:55.times in the Premier League, but even their stern defence could not
:59:56. > :00:04.have done much to stop a wonderful volley. Adam Lallana got a
:00:05. > :00:10.last-minute goal at Old Trafford last weekend and it was one of the
:00:11. > :00:21.highlights of the season so far. It is 78 years since Paul's only league
:00:22. > :00:27.win at Southampton. What a chance for Sunderland. Saved on the line.
:00:28. > :00:31.This is what Southampton bid to Manchester United last weekend,
:00:32. > :00:42.constant pressure in the opponent's final third. But it is carelessness
:00:43. > :00:45.from the visitors. Martin Jol said Alex Ferguson had offered him the
:00:46. > :01:08.chance to become number two at Old Trafford.
:01:09. > :01:15.Rickie Lambert got a shot away in the end, that's how he was able to
:01:16. > :01:24.get a shot down from his chest I am not so sure. Roma are top of the
:01:25. > :01:25.league who have got a better defensive record than Southampton
:01:26. > :01:55.this season. That is the first corner of the
:01:56. > :02:02.game. And it is put in by Rickie Lambert! Whenever Rickie Lambert has
:02:03. > :02:08.scored this season he has ended up on the winning team for both club
:02:09. > :02:18.and country. Back in the starting XI today he was not marked and deadly
:02:19. > :02:22.at the back post. Have a look at Scott Parker in the build-up to the
:02:23. > :02:32.goal. When he speaks to Dimitar Berbatov. He points to Rickie
:02:33. > :02:37.Lambert and says, he is your man. Then Dimitar Berbatov is ball
:02:38. > :02:48.watching and Fulham is punished. The first corner of the game and
:02:49. > :02:57.Southampton make it count. Jay Rodriguez, no power on the shot.
:02:58. > :03:02.What a goal this would have been. If that had had a fraction more power,
:03:03. > :03:17.it may well have been two goals in two minutes.
:03:18. > :03:24.That was a really good shot and it has come back off the post. Once
:03:25. > :03:33.again the Fulham defenders did not get close enough to him. They will
:03:34. > :03:49.be disappointed they are not more than one in front.
:03:50. > :03:56.That was Rickie Lambert again and once again there was no marker. That
:03:57. > :04:02.is a corner, but Fulham have got to sort this out. Once again Rickie
:04:03. > :04:03.Lambert peels off to the back post. That could have been worse for
:04:04. > :04:27.Fulham. The Southampton attacking players
:04:28. > :04:35.are also comfortable in possession. Jay Rodriguez gets his third.
:04:36. > :04:43.Southampton this evening are irresistible to watch. This is a
:04:44. > :04:47.very well worked goal. Adam Lallana is allowed to turn. Look at the
:04:48. > :05:02.quality of that ball to Rickie Lambert. Fulham are in big trouble
:05:03. > :05:08.now. Southhampton's wonderful start to the season looks like it is
:05:09. > :05:09.continuing. Seven out of their eight goals have come in the second half
:05:10. > :05:58.of Premier League games. Dimitar Berbatov himself would have
:05:59. > :06:23.been proud of that pass. Is there a bit afters there? Is that a punch?
:06:24. > :06:38.Jay Rodriguez' shot was almost a very special indeed. If it were not
:06:39. > :06:46.for the close attention of the defender, he might well have got
:06:47. > :06:55.that on target. TRANSLATION: More than anything today it is about how
:06:56. > :07:02.we won. We want to keep on improving and learning and working hard to
:07:03. > :07:08.continue this good run. In the second half we played well, but they
:07:09. > :07:13.are a very strong team and have got one of the best defences in Europe.
:07:14. > :07:23.But it is still disappointing. The only positive thing is we came away
:07:24. > :07:30.in the second half with no scores. We have got the belief in the cab.
:07:31. > :07:35.There is no limit to what we can do. We will be working hard to get the
:07:36. > :07:39.three points for the next game. So stylish has been some of their
:07:40. > :07:47.football, we think they may be worthy of a grass! I do not
:07:48. > :07:57.understand it myself, but I am sure it means something. We focused on
:07:58. > :08:03.them at Anfield and at Old Trafford and they were defensively great, but
:08:04. > :08:08.they played really well today. They were stylish, they moved the ball
:08:09. > :08:14.beautifully. You mentioned their attitude at the top of the
:08:15. > :08:22.programme. Rickie Lambert against Dimitar Berbatov, his attitude was
:08:23. > :08:28.great. That was a great header and a good save by the keeper. All day
:08:29. > :08:37.long he wanted to be involved. He set up the goal. Whereas opposed to
:08:38. > :08:44.Dimitar Berbatov, he has just had a bad day at the office. He is not
:08:45. > :08:53.renowned for chasing about, but today his attitude was off. This is
:08:54. > :08:58.another good save by the keeper. Berbatov goes into the corner and
:08:59. > :09:04.slips and get up and falls over and Southampton are back in possession.
:09:05. > :09:11.That would sum up his performance. He is not happy at all. In the
:09:12. > :09:18.second half he is surrounded and he loses it. But this is the best,
:09:19. > :09:26.Scott Parker says, you pick Rickie Lambert up here and do not leave him
:09:27. > :09:28.at any stage. But unfortunately he does not understand English. Which
:09:29. > :09:44.man was dead? It is a bit early in the season to
:09:45. > :09:50.wheel out the relegation cliches, so let's not suggest there were more
:09:51. > :09:54.than three point at stake between Norwich city and Cardiff City. But
:09:55. > :10:05.it was an important game nevertheless. Martin Fisher was at
:10:06. > :10:14.Carrow Road. Gary Cooper makes a start. If he can produce his form
:10:15. > :10:30.from north of the border, it would decrease the pressure that is
:10:31. > :10:32.beginning to build. Craig Bellamy and Malachy Mackay completes a trio
:10:33. > :10:50.of Canary old boys. Next week for Cardiff it is a little
:10:51. > :11:10.matter of a Welsh derby against Swansea. What a brilliant save John
:11:11. > :11:25.Ruddy has just made. That was a miraculous save by John Ruddy.
:11:26. > :11:43.It is another non-rich corner. Turner had no need to make a move
:11:44. > :11:49.for that. That is a fine save by David Marshall. The first tricky
:11:50. > :12:21.save he has had to make today. That was heading home.
:12:22. > :12:28.Chris Hughton has said he has been encouraged by Norwich's latest
:12:29. > :12:31.performances. Now they need something tangible to show for those
:12:32. > :12:43.performances. Cardiff just sat back and allowed
:12:44. > :13:25.Houston to drive on them. His goal at the moment is leading a
:13:26. > :13:26.charmed life. As Hooper got involved, it was straight to the
:13:27. > :13:46.goalkeeper again. The second half has not really got
:13:47. > :13:57.going yet. The left foot of Snodgrass again. Gary Hooper has had
:13:58. > :14:14.his opportunities today. That was one yard over the crossbar.
:14:15. > :14:20.Pilkington could not get his foot right. Gary Hooper does so well to
:14:21. > :14:41.get onto his feet quickly. It is two months since Cardiff kept
:14:42. > :14:53.there are other clean sheet. They are 15 minutes away from one here.
:14:54. > :15:00.Marshall was happy enough to push that one behind to get another
:15:01. > :15:07.corner. Cardiff just have to grin and bear it and hang on for a few
:15:08. > :15:21.more minutes. A point-blank save from Marshall. What an afternoon at
:15:22. > :15:55.Carrow Road for missed opportunities.
:15:56. > :16:12.Norwich have a player down. It is his Achilles. That is a painful one.
:16:13. > :16:22.Surely that will not be able to stand? Cardiff are going bonkers.
:16:23. > :16:28.This is ridiculous. We have got a fight breaking out here because of
:16:29. > :16:36.what he did. But the referee is not going to give this. This is what
:16:37. > :16:40.happened. As the throw was taken, that is an attempted backpass to the
:16:41. > :16:46.goalkeeper, but he put it in the back of the net. Cardiff thought
:16:47. > :16:55.they were stung again. Mike Jones is the calmest man on the pitch. The
:16:56. > :17:00.referee did not whistle. Of play, so it was fairly controversial at the
:17:01. > :17:07.end of the game. We are concentrating on the game we should
:17:08. > :17:12.have won in the normal manager. There was no ill will or ill
:17:13. > :17:19.feeling, immediately it happened, everybody was shocked. Did you mean
:17:20. > :17:23.to pass it to the goalkeeper? No, I was heading for the goal because I
:17:24. > :17:29.wanted to win the game, but the referee did not blow his whistle.
:17:30. > :17:39.Did you think you scored the goal? I thought so, yes. What do you make of
:17:40. > :17:47.Cardiff's reaction? They were mad because they'd did not see it. I
:17:48. > :17:55.wanted to win the game, but we did not. Norwich missed loads of
:17:56. > :18:05.chances, but they did not get it in the back of the net in the end. He
:18:06. > :18:16.sticks it in the back of the net deliberately. Mike Jones intervenes.
:18:17. > :18:23.The referee sees what has happened. What he says is initially he has not
:18:24. > :18:29.given the signal for the throw to be taken. That is not quite right. He
:18:30. > :18:33.found a way out of a tricky situation. Let's take a look at the
:18:34. > :19:24.table. Arsenal remain top. Luis Suarez is not always the model
:19:25. > :19:39.pupil, but today he was the head boy. Goodbye.
