:01:01. > :01:07.good evening. That Premier League has returned with a vengeance. All
:01:08. > :01:14.20 teams has been in action. Controversy, goals and a stunning
:01:15. > :01:19.debut. We have the company of Alan Hansen and Martin Keown. We start
:01:20. > :01:27.with a game that finished less than an hour ago. Tottenham host a
:01:28. > :01:29.Manchester City side who knew a victory would take them to the top
:01:30. > :01:35.of the table. Guy Mowbray was at White Hart Lane.
:01:36. > :01:51.It is only two months that Manchester City knocked Spurs 46. --
:01:52. > :02:28.for sex. One change since the game at Swansea.
:02:29. > :02:41.Navas presented from finding the Zabaleta. Aguero found a shooting
:02:42. > :02:55.chance. Denied by the woodwork. Vintage Aguero. City have already
:02:56. > :03:01.started to swarm all over Spurs. Sergio Aguero has scored six goals
:03:02. > :03:07.in four games since returning from a month out with a calf injury. That
:03:08. > :03:14.was a classic example of what we are so used to seeing from the
:03:15. > :03:19.Argentinian. Scored in seven games in a row either side of his break
:03:20. > :03:28.through injury. Manuel Pellegrini will be, even six minutes in, a lot
:03:29. > :03:29.more content the start his team made tonight than they did against
:03:30. > :03:50.Watford at the weekend. Aguero has turned it in! What a cute
:03:51. > :03:59.finish that is. Stunning awareness. The goalkeeper was, the defenders
:04:00. > :04:10.were and where the goal is. His 50th merely goal. He has brought the
:04:11. > :04:17.total up in 51 games. Only a few players and for him quicker to the
:04:18. > :04:22.half-century. Sergio Aguero has done it so impressively. Scored for the
:04:23. > :04:29.aid of a game in a row in all competitions. Tim Sherwood has been
:04:30. > :04:32.a very happy head coach for most of The Games so far. That smile has
:04:33. > :04:59.gone for the moment. Aguero! Great save I Lloris.
:05:00. > :05:07.Stunning stop. Strong hands, quick reactions. Aguero prevented from
:05:08. > :05:30.making it two goals in five or six minutes.
:05:31. > :05:43.Hoisted behind by Dawson. It was close to Silva, it was creeping
:05:44. > :05:52.towards Dzeko. Off the line by Rose. Aguero! That would have taken the
:05:53. > :06:09.net off. Manchester City are putting on a real show here again.
:06:10. > :06:36.They are furious with the free kick Given against them just outside the
:06:37. > :06:49.box. Rose went down cheaply, that is for sure. He is in between the two.
:06:50. > :06:54.Very soft. It has been turned down but the flag is up. It is not going
:06:55. > :07:00.to count. A reprieve for Manchester City. Even had that gone straight in
:07:01. > :07:07.with no touch from Dawson, it would have been ruled out because Adebayor
:07:08. > :07:19.was offside. He went for the ball so he was definitely active. Aguero did
:07:20. > :07:25.not get to that one. He is hobbling a little bit. Manuel Pellegrini has
:07:26. > :07:29.seen that. I wonder if it is his calf again. The signs are not good.
:07:30. > :07:52.Aguero off. Goal-scorer gone. Rose goes sliding in and the flag is
:07:53. > :07:57.waived by the assistant referee, it is a penalty to Manchester City. A
:07:58. > :08:05.problem for Danny Rose also. Djeko was about to test Lloris. He is at
:08:06. > :08:11.full stretch, it is an awkward angle. He gets to the ball. Was it
:08:12. > :08:20.the angle of the challenge the man with the flag objected to. It is a
:08:21. > :08:25.red card for Rose. Yaya Toure will try and keep his cool and get on
:08:26. > :08:39.with the task and doubling up city's lead. He makes it look easy.
:08:40. > :09:00.Most compo those man inside White Hart Lane. -- most composed.
:09:01. > :09:14.Off the line! Now it is in. Dzeko scores. Spurs could not get it away
:09:15. > :09:24.and now Manchester City are running away with it. Just three minutes in
:09:25. > :09:29.between goals number two and three. Goals that have done any signs of a
:09:30. > :09:53.challenge for Tim Sherwood's Tottenham. Eriksen. Lennon. Lennon
:09:54. > :10:00.is happy to settle for the corner. Capoue has put it in. Spurs have a
:10:01. > :10:07.goal back. The ten men have got some fight left in them. Capoue with his
:10:08. > :10:13.first Tottenham goal. Zabaleta is claiming he was pushed. He seemed to
:10:14. > :10:42.just stumble. He has scored. His first goal in the
:10:43. > :10:51.Premier League, Java ticker. It is the cue for a number of the home
:10:52. > :11:00.fans to head for the exits early. Navas once more.
:11:01. > :11:20.That was off Naughton for the corner. Kompany has put it in. Fell
:11:21. > :11:36.down at his feet. A goal for the captain. Fifth goal for Manchester
:11:37. > :11:42.City. Ripping Spurs apart again. It is not easy to win away against
:11:43. > :11:49.Tottenham. But I think the team played really well today. The first
:11:50. > :11:55.half we scored just one goal but we deserved more. In the second half we
:11:56. > :11:58.continued the same way. After the penalty, it was more difficult for
:11:59. > :12:07.them. But from the beginning we were the team that played in the best
:12:08. > :12:10.way. It was a last-ditch tackle from Danny, he had to come in like that
:12:11. > :12:14.to have any chance of reaching the ball. Which he did. It is
:12:15. > :12:21.unfortunate it has gone against us today. But even before the red card,
:12:22. > :12:26.it was difficult. This team is the best team on the planet, certainly
:12:27. > :12:31.in the Premier League. It is 30 same Manchester City have had the better
:12:32. > :12:36.of Spurs this season? They have gone away from home against a team who
:12:37. > :12:40.have taken 16 points out of 18 in the Premier League. They just
:12:41. > :12:46.dismiss them. In the first half an hour they could have got five. The
:12:47. > :12:51.fluency, passing and movement. It was as Merrick. Tottenham were poor
:12:52. > :12:57.from the off, but you cannot take anything away from Manchester City.
:12:58. > :13:05.The best player on the pitch was Vincent Kompany. Decisions? Could it
:13:06. > :13:18.have changed things? Big decision at 1-0. That was the world record for
:13:19. > :13:28.handball. I don't think that was a free kick. Adebayor offside will
:13:29. > :13:35.stop the Danny Rose sanding off, he gets wrong. -- sending-off. The
:13:36. > :13:44.referee is a long way off. The assistant flagged. That was the big
:13:45. > :13:50.game changer? It is still one - rack -- it was still 1-0 and Tottenham
:13:51. > :13:55.were still in it. But Manchester City with the deserved winners. It
:13:56. > :14:03.was Spurs' first league defeat under Tim Sherwood. A little naive? The
:14:04. > :14:15.rhetoric this week coming from the Tottenham camp, the midfield players
:14:16. > :14:20.don't like them. They played Ben celeb. They were playing possibly
:14:21. > :14:24.the best team in the world. They never protected the back four, never
:14:25. > :14:32.closed in quickly and they never got near anybody. The big thing is for
:14:33. > :14:39.me, as the ball is flying around the goals, they are ending up on the
:14:40. > :14:46.edge of the box. This is Aguero, hits the post. He should have
:14:47. > :14:50.scored. It is too easy. They are in positions, but not getting close to
:14:51. > :14:58.anything. Again they tend up on the edge of the box. Dzeko comes inside.
:14:59. > :15:05.No protection, no closing down. They don't know where they are. This is a
:15:06. > :15:14.goal again. It is so easy for Manchester City. Great finish? You
:15:15. > :15:19.are up against great players who are playing out of their skin. But you
:15:20. > :15:24.could see what was going wrong here. They bring Capoue on in the second
:15:25. > :15:29.half and he did not do much better. That is the Danny Rose sending-off.
:15:30. > :15:36.I think they definitely got the attack ticks wrong. If you are
:15:37. > :15:44.playing Manchester someone who is defensive minded. Pellegrini has
:15:45. > :15:47.transformed them into a free flying, goal-scoring machine. Unbelievable.
:15:48. > :15:50.He's got the balance perfectly well with the team. Which Tottenham
:15:51. > :15:55.haven't got yet. Everybody now wants to play this free-flowing football.
:15:56. > :15:58.Man City do it better than anyone else. Whether it's enough to win the
:15:59. > :16:03.league, we will have to see what happens. I feel now this is an
:16:04. > :16:08.emphatic win. It sends out a big message for their intentions. You
:16:09. > :16:12.say "possibly the best team in the world"? Would you like to reiterate?
:16:13. > :16:17.On that form, I think going forward, they're as good as anybody. OK. To a
:16:18. > :16:22.West Midlands derby, featuring two out of form, low, mid-table sides
:16:23. > :16:26.looking anxiously over their shoulders. Aston Villa had won just
:16:27. > :16:28.one of their previous eight games. West Brom only one in 12. Simon
:16:29. > :16:38.Brotherton watched this one. Agbonlahor misses the match with a
:16:39. > :16:42.foot injury. That gives Bacuna a new role in behind the attack. His
:16:43. > :16:48.right-back spot is taken by Matthew Lowton. Nicolas Anelka starts for
:16:49. > :16:52.West Bromich Albion, after appealing the FA charges against him for the
:16:53. > :17:02.quenelle gesture. It's the worst home record in the
:17:03. > :17:05.Premier League, Villa, with just eight points in front of their own
:17:06. > :17:10.fans so far this season, against West Brom, who have only managed one
:17:11. > :17:27.win on the road, albeit at Old Trafford over Manchester United.
:17:28. > :17:34.Oh, what a strike! It's an absolutely brilliant goal, from
:17:35. > :17:38.Chris Brunt, with just three minutes played, a stunning start for West
:17:39. > :17:48.Bromich Albion in the derby against Villa. Villa 0, Albion 1.
:17:49. > :17:53.The pass initially from Ridgewell. A little flick into the air. The nudge
:17:54. > :18:06.down and then perfectly placed into the far corner by Chris Brunt.
:18:07. > :18:15.Jonathan De Guzman -- Brad Guzman is beaten at the Holte End.
:18:16. > :18:23.In terms of the general play at the moment, as well as the fact they've
:18:24. > :18:34.got that goal. Oh, it's been turned in. It's an own
:18:35. > :18:41.goal. West Brom lead by 2-0, with just over eight minutes played. Look
:18:42. > :18:47.at this, as the ball is played in, it's picked up by Morrison. In the
:18:48. > :18:51.end it's off the boot of Fabian Delph. That will go down as an own
:18:52. > :18:56.goal and a disastrous start to the match for Aston Villa.
:18:57. > :19:01.The playing surface is superb here, when you consider how much it's been
:19:02. > :19:05.raining. It hasn't stopped all day. Offside.
:19:06. > :19:09.A win at a venue like this, in your first away match would be a great
:19:10. > :19:14.way to ingratiate yourself with the supporters of your new club.
:19:15. > :19:27.Villa are back in the game! Three goals inside the first 12 minutes of
:19:28. > :19:31.the match. Weimann there just looks as if he might have been offside as
:19:32. > :19:35.the ball was knocked on. No, it came off an Albion player,
:19:36. > :20:03.which meant the flag stayed down. That's better from the home team. It
:20:04. > :20:05.was a decent effort as well. Weimann, scorer of the first, almost
:20:06. > :20:36.provider of the second. Great chance and it's in! Leandro
:20:37. > :20:42.Bacuna was there. It's 2-2. We've only played for 24 minutes.
:20:43. > :20:50.Lowton roll it's into the centre. Again, not an offside. Bacuna, well,
:20:51. > :20:52.he made a hash of it. But somehow it just spun up into the air and over
:20:53. > :21:06.the line. Aston Villa are level. West Brom racing to a 2-0 lead only
:21:07. > :21:19.to find it disappear and slip through their fingers.
:21:20. > :21:29.Oh, it's an absolute screamer! What a pile driver from Fabian Delph.
:21:30. > :21:40.From two goals down, Villa now 3-2 up. It's an excellent flick on from
:21:41. > :21:45.Benteke. He doesn't score many, but by the looks of it, when he does
:21:46. > :21:49.find the net, they're pretty decent. Delph, who scored an own goal
:21:50. > :22:00.earlier in the match, has now more than made amends at the other.
:22:01. > :22:11.Benteke can't quite turn it home Villa had only managed eight goals
:22:12. > :22:12.at home all season before tonight. They've got three in 37 minutes
:22:13. > :22:27.here. Mulumbu - it's 3-3!
:22:28. > :22:33.Beautifully-worked goal for West Brom. Mulumbu able to slide it home.
:22:34. > :22:37.An incredible first half. Good passing move from West Bromich
:22:38. > :22:43.Albion. It's with Victor Anichebe here. Mulumbu kept just moving
:22:44. > :22:45.forward. He just ghosted in past the two defenders. The ball smacks the
:22:46. > :22:53.back of the net. Villa with just two home wins all
:22:54. > :23:04.season. Foul by Lowton. Brunt thought he
:23:05. > :23:08.should have had a free kick for the first challenge. Anichebe starting
:23:09. > :23:12.in the league for only the sixth time this season.
:23:13. > :23:22.Oh, that was a great chance there for Diego Lugano. He crept in at the
:23:23. > :23:26.far post, completely unmarked. Lugano, who scored in the last
:23:27. > :23:27.match, it was the equaliser against Everton and a golden chance to put
:23:28. > :24:03.West Brom ahead there. Benteke goes down under pressure.
:24:04. > :24:07.Villa have a penalty. Lugano penalised by the referee. He
:24:08. > :24:08.clearly had his arms around the back of Benteke's neck, as the ball comes
:24:09. > :24:24.in. 4-3! Cool, calm and decisive,
:24:25. > :24:41.Benteke scores for the third match in a row. Aston Villa lead again.
:24:42. > :24:57.Lugano was adjudged to have fouled Benteke at the other end of the
:24:58. > :25:04.field, joining the attack here. Going down inside the penalty area.
:25:05. > :25:08.He's going to get booked for that. ( Number 14 is the player to watch on
:25:09. > :25:15.the edge of the penalty air why. He tries to get away from Clarke.
:25:16. > :25:17.This match may not be a defensive master class by any stretch, but you
:25:18. > :25:42.cannot take your eyes off it. He went down and a great view for
:25:43. > :25:45.the referee. He is clearly caught. An evening which started so
:25:46. > :25:48.wonderfully well for Pepe Mel and his new team, going to end in
:25:49. > :25:50.frustration and disappointment. his new team, going to end in
:25:51. > :25:54.frustration and The first goal from West Brom was a wonder strike. You
:25:55. > :25:58.can't do nothing about that. It was a terrific strike. Take nothing away
:25:59. > :26:02.from Chris Brunt. The second goal, disappointing, because we switched
:26:03. > :26:08.off. Fabian tries to stop the cross. That can happen. The response after
:26:09. > :26:14.that was incredible. To turn it around, the way we did, was a
:26:15. > :26:22.fabulous effort. Incredible match, because score 3-0 away, and no
:26:23. > :26:27.points, it's incredible for us. Seemed very unhappy about both
:26:28. > :26:37.decisions. Has he spoken to you about it? Yes, but I spoke with
:26:38. > :26:43.Diego. Now it's only the next match. What a great game, crazy game in
:26:44. > :26:47.many ways, epitomised by the performance of Lugano there. Yeah, I
:26:48. > :26:51.hope he plays like this against England in the summer for Uruguay. I
:26:52. > :26:56.just feel here that he should be winning this ball. He flicks it on
:26:57. > :26:59.instead for Weimann. They were comfortable at this point. Gets them
:27:00. > :27:04.back into the game here at 2-1. Go and win it. Benteke is a problem. Of
:27:05. > :27:09.course he flicks it on. Fantastic finish, you have to say. Graet goals
:27:10. > :27:11.in this match. -- great goals in this match. That put them back in
:27:12. > :27:16.it. You're never going to get a better chance than that as a centre
:27:17. > :27:21.half. How he misses that, it's unbelievable. Then he gives a
:27:22. > :27:27.penalty away, which is just plain stupid. You can see he's all over
:27:28. > :27:32.Benteke. Really, for me, he's clutching at straws there. Yes, I
:27:33. > :27:37.believe, maybe he is being fouled, but he's never going to get anywhere
:27:38. > :27:43.near the ball. You can't even see it in shop there. A bit more Luganist
:27:44. > :27:47.than Lugano there. Yes. The manager is right, he has to put that to one
:27:48. > :27:50.side. Villa came back, though. They were struggling, played good stuff
:27:51. > :27:56.to come back. I think they scored a third of their home goals this
:27:57. > :28:00.season in that game. They have been half decent on the road and they
:28:01. > :28:03.took a point off Liverpool the last game. Their home form has been poor.
:28:04. > :28:06.You've got to give the home supporters something to shout about.
:28:07. > :28:10.I think they've won two home games all season. There's nothing better
:28:11. > :28:14.than going 2-0 down, coming back and showing grit and determination and
:28:15. > :28:17.character and scoring four goals. Most importantly, that gives the
:28:18. > :28:21.supporters a lift, the manager a lift, but ultimately the players a
:28:22. > :28:25.lift. Also, it was a great game to watch. There were a couple of
:28:26. > :28:28.phenomenal goals. Villa fans wouldn't appreciate the first goal.
:28:29. > :28:36.I think Paul Lambert talked about it. It is such a great finish. This
:28:37. > :28:41.is the opening goal. He's pinged it. I think the one from Delph is even
:28:42. > :28:44.better. This is only his second Premier League goal. The first one
:28:45. > :28:52.was against Southampton. It was stunning. But not as good as this.
:28:53. > :28:56.This is a thunder bolt. The touch... It's the skill as much as the
:28:57. > :29:00.strike. Phenomenal hit, great hit. Two great goals. I think Benteke
:29:01. > :29:05.showed a bit more of going direct now Villa. That's their key move,
:29:06. > :29:08.into Benteke. Delph had a shocking injury as a young player. He's got
:29:09. > :29:11.back. He looks one of their best players. He's had a really good
:29:12. > :29:16.season. We've got a London derby next. Chelsea were looking for a
:29:17. > :29:20.Essexth straight league -- sixth straight league win. Their opponents
:29:21. > :29:38.were third from bottom. 20-macaro Jose Mourinho was happy to
:29:39. > :29:49.let Mata go to Manchester United in the knowledge he could hold his new
:29:50. > :29:53.Chelsea around the boy from Brazil. Andy Carroll starts for the first
:29:54. > :30:38.time this season. It the bar. Terrific match winner
:30:39. > :30:52.against Stoke in the cup at the weekend. That would have been his
:30:53. > :31:20.10th of the campaign. The referee is giving a free kick against K Hill.
:31:21. > :31:47.The referee has Given offside. A good save by Petr Cech. That was a
:31:48. > :32:09.real tumble. Three in the middle. Shot was blocked and eventually
:32:10. > :32:13.away. Two minutes to go at the end of the first half will stop can
:32:14. > :32:21.Chelsea finally get the breakthrough? Willian taking it.
:32:22. > :32:30.Terry! The keeper saves with his feet. Terry takes a tumble.
:32:31. > :32:49.Collins' shirt seems to have been ripped.
:32:50. > :32:58.Good reactions by the West Ham United goalkeeper. Very good
:32:59. > :33:16.goalkeeping. Andy Carroll! What a huge moment
:33:17. > :33:27.that was for the club and the player. It has come and gone.
:33:28. > :33:35.Chelsea can break from that. Matthew Taylor is booked. Andy Carroll will
:33:36. > :33:36.note that was a smash and grab moment. Petr Cech should have done
:33:37. > :34:05.better than that. Demba Ba off the post. Came so close
:34:06. > :34:15.to winning it. And yet they come again. Hazard! The goalkeeper
:34:16. > :34:26.gathered it at the second time of asking. Lovely player when he is in
:34:27. > :34:32.full flight, Hazard. They have had over 20 efforts. Now! What has
:34:33. > :34:37.happened here? Eto'o has played the ball into the back of the net and
:34:38. > :34:44.the referee has blown. He blew very early. Eto'o cannot believe it. The
:34:45. > :34:49.goalkeeper but the ball on the ground, turned away. Eto'o ran up
:34:50. > :35:00.and put the ball into the back of the net but the referee had already
:35:01. > :35:09.Given the free kick. Lampard! It is wide, right at the death. West Ham
:35:10. > :35:11.have hung on and Chelsea are denied. Controversy at the end and that will
:35:12. > :35:29.be the big talking point. They defended with their heart and I
:35:30. > :35:35.respect that. But it is not the type of match we can spell -- sell the
:35:36. > :35:43.Barclays Premier League very expensive around the world. It does
:35:44. > :35:47.not matter how, but they took the point. I don't want to criticise, my
:35:48. > :35:56.team did everything possible. How can you play like this in a game of
:35:57. > :36:01.football? We are in relegation, we cannot come here and play a game
:36:02. > :36:08.like Manchester United did. Does he want us to play like Manchester

:36:17. > :36:21.Right at the end, did you think it had gone pear shaped because Eto'o
:36:22. > :36:26.but the ball in the back of the net? It is difficult. The goalkeeper does
:36:27. > :36:32.not speak a huge amount of English and probably got his wires crossed.
:36:33. > :36:40.Maybe the referee could have Given the goal but he didn't. He took the
:36:41. > :36:43.decision early he was going to blow and he stayed strong unfortunately
:36:44. > :36:48.it wasn't a goal. It was an interesting incident. Worth looking
:36:49. > :36:55.at before we talk about the game itself. What did you make of it?
:36:56. > :37:05.I think he does point to a free kick. I am not sure it is a free
:37:06. > :37:13.kick, by the way. He is pointing in his direction. Clearly, he must say
:37:14. > :37:18.something to the goalkeeper. There is no way he will put the ball down
:37:19. > :37:24.there to take a free kick. Eto'o, how cute is he. He thinks he sees an
:37:25. > :37:30.opportunity and puts it in the back of the net. He is arguing he did not
:37:31. > :37:36.see the free kick. It looks like he has blown.
:37:37. > :37:45.Chelsea, 39 shot they had at goal. But they failed to score. Was it
:37:46. > :37:49.down to Chelsea's profit city in front of goal but is it the
:37:50. > :37:56.resilience of West Ham? There were enough chances. West Ham, resolute
:37:57. > :38:05.defending. It was all there today. O'Brien early on, gets stuck in.
:38:06. > :38:13.Andy Carroll back the set pieces. It was right in front of that defence
:38:14. > :38:19.where you saw block after block. I thought Mark Noble was a different
:38:20. > :38:26.class. Look this the commitment. Collins at the back as well. Lampard
:38:27. > :38:29.coming off the bench, you thought he might have rescued Chelsea. But they
:38:30. > :38:36.just got people in the way at all times. Determination, belief,

:38:44. > :38:48.It was a great point for West Ham. What does Jose Mourinho expect? He
:38:49. > :38:53.went to Old Trafford and the emirates and played exactly the same

:40:21. > :40:29.Adam Johnson's recent form has propelled them to the top of
:40:30. > :40:32.Sunderland's top scoring charts. He is one of nine changes to the 11
:40:33. > :40:41.that big Kidderminster in the cup on Saturday. He may have only just
:40:42. > :40:51.completed his move from Cardiff, but Peter Adam Wookey is one of four
:40:52. > :40:57.changes. No Premier League team has one fewer games at home than
:40:58. > :40:58.Sunderland and note Premier League team has one fewer games away and
:40:59. > :41:21.Stoke. That was well saved. I get the
:41:22. > :41:33.impression Larsson was not shaping to shoot. We believe Gus Poyet is
:41:34. > :41:42.suffering a little bit. There is an air of belief about Sunderland. No
:41:43. > :41:50.more than they deserve and no surprise it is Adam Johnson. Seven
:41:51. > :41:59.goals in a row he has either scored or assisted. 17 minutes of
:42:00. > :42:05.Sunderland domination. The shot was parried by the goalkeeper. He could
:42:06. > :42:15.not hold on to it. Adam Johnson put it into the unguarded goal. As mere
:42:16. > :42:16.bag of which could not hang onto. Desperation as he tried to get to
:42:17. > :42:35.the second ball. Crouch and merged with the ball and
:42:36. > :42:37.the goalkeeper made a terrific stop. He atone for his Arab because the
:42:38. > :42:48.ball popped out of his grasp. That is a bowel. Steven Nzonzi
:42:49. > :43:22.getting a yellow card. -- foul. Add with a mishit but it turned into
:43:23. > :43:32.a cross. Shawcross looks up at the heavens and wonders how he never
:43:33. > :43:37.managed to put Stoke level. And it was Vito Mannone. Shawcross was
:43:38. > :43:50.onside but he put it too close to the goalkeeper. Vito Mannone tries
:43:51. > :43:57.to send Jozy Altidore Paul Wood. That is a foul. Steven Nzonzi is in
:43:58. > :44:04.trouble because he was booked in the first half. Was it a yellow card
:44:05. > :44:09.offence or a red card offence? It makes no difference because Stephen
:44:10. > :44:14.ends on the was booked in the first half and he goes anyway. Mark Hughes
:44:15. > :44:29.is appalled and Stoke are down to ten men. But save! The rebound is
:44:30. > :44:40.cannoned by Larsson against the legs of Wilson. Al Siddall stopped. What
:44:41. > :44:43.does Mark Hughes do now? He knows he cannot afford to lose this match
:44:44. > :44:46.because Sunderland will just be a point behind them and they will be
:44:47. > :45:00.sent right into the relegation. It's just beyond the post.
:45:01. > :45:04.I think Begovic got a touch to that. Larsson' shot was arrowing towards
:45:05. > :45:07.the corner. Begovic hurled himself at it and just nudge today beyond
:45:08. > :45:22.the post. -- nudged it beyond the post.
:45:23. > :45:31.Saved. Super chance for Odemwingie to make a hero of himself in his
:45:32. > :45:35.first match for Stoke. But the keeper got to the ball. Fabulous
:45:36. > :45:41.play from Stoke, it really S -- is.
:45:42. > :45:49.The header from Shawcross onto the top of the bar. It was helped over,
:45:50. > :45:53.no, he couldn't get a touch. Stoke City have done everything but
:45:54. > :45:59.equalise. Mark Hughes will know his side have given everything they
:46:00. > :46:06.possibly can. Off the top of the bar. Once again, Stoke's endeavours
:46:07. > :46:11.go unrewarded. We was desperate to get out of the bottom three as soon
:46:12. > :46:15.as we can to give hope and belief around the club. We managed to do
:46:16. > :46:19.that today. Thankfully, for us, we got a pont and long may it continue
:46:20. > :46:22.that we keep picking up points. I saw the effort and desire to stay in
:46:23. > :46:27.the game and get back on level terms. That was outstanding.
:46:28. > :46:30.Unfortunately, at the moment, we're getting decision that's are going
:46:31. > :46:34.against us. We're disappointed once again by the referee's decision. We
:46:35. > :46:39.feel that the lad's gone down too easily. It's difficult for referees.
:46:40. > :46:45.He's bought it. It's very harsh. What we ask every time we play is
:46:46. > :46:49.just let's have an even, level playing field for both teams.
:46:50. > :46:55.Whoever is the best team on the day -- on the day, allow them to win.
:46:56. > :46:58.Tonight was probably the biggest game of the season, with who we were
:46:59. > :47:02.playing. Sucked everyone right in again. I think we are going from
:47:03. > :47:06.strength to strength now. It was a competitive game. Not always pretty,
:47:07. > :47:10.but pretty darn important for Sunderland. Well, I mean, you know,
:47:11. > :47:16.I think we go back to October when Poyet had just taken over and they
:47:17. > :47:23.were seven points adrift. The consensus was dead and buried. He's
:47:24. > :47:27.done a magnificent job. Last seven Sunderland goal Johnson has scored
:47:28. > :47:30.five and two assists. He's always had ability. It was just trying to
:47:31. > :47:35.get the best out of the player. Poyet has managed that more than
:47:36. > :47:39.adequately. Mark Hughes by contrast, I mean, they're falling towards that
:47:40. > :47:43.relegation zone. He thought they played really well. I've watched
:47:44. > :47:47.them for the last three, four matches, they haven't been bad.
:47:48. > :47:51.Every game has been tight. To be fair, the vast majority of the
:47:52. > :47:54.decisions in the last three or four matches have gone against them. They
:47:55. > :47:59.node a bit of luck from -- they need a bit of luck from somewhere. Mark
:48:00. > :48:03.Hughes is only standing up for his team. They've had difficult calls
:48:04. > :48:07.from referees recently. It was a good response. Is it Manchester
:48:08. > :48:11.United at the weekend? Yeah. He knows he's got to be in good shape
:48:12. > :48:15.for that one. It is starting to get tough for them. I believe that Stoke
:48:16. > :48:21.have got enough to perhaps get out of this. OK to last night's games
:48:22. > :48:29.and two of the Premier League's top six met in an eagerly anticipated
:48:30. > :48:34.Merseyside derby at Anfield. That's watched by Steve Wilson.
:48:35. > :48:38.Steven Gerrard is the last survivor that Everton won on this ground in
:48:39. > :48:42.1999. This may be the biggest derby with both clubs eyeing the same
:48:43. > :48:46.Champions League goal and the reverse fixture, 3-3 at Goodison
:48:47. > :48:53.Park, was arguably the game of the season so far. Leighton Baines'
:48:54. > :49:07.signature on a four-year deal started Everton on a high.
:49:08. > :49:16.Good save by him Howard. Instinctive stuff from Mario Suarez. -- Luis
:49:17. > :49:32.Suarez. He didn't need an invitation to hit this.
:49:33. > :49:40.an If he could add finishing to his game, Stirling could get 15 a
:49:41. > :49:50.season. Sometimes he doesn't quite convince in front of goal.
:49:51. > :50:02.There were three or four blue shirts in front of him and no way through.
:50:03. > :50:06.He's had something thrown at him, I think. He's just given it to the
:50:07. > :50:23.referee. In comes the corner kick, it's in!
:50:24. > :50:31.Liverpool in front and it's Steven Gerrard. 21 minutes, Gerrard
:50:32. > :50:33.straight from the corner. 1-0 Liverpool. They'll be terribly
:50:34. > :50:39.disappointed to concede from the corner, Everton. Gerrard got his
:50:40. > :50:49.head on it. He diverted that power towards the Everton goal. Nothing
:50:50. > :50:55.McCarthy could do about it. It's Liverpool's old favourite, Steven
:50:56. > :51:00.Gerrard. It's double jeopardy for Everton. Not only are they behind,
:51:01. > :51:23.but Lukaku has injured his ankle. It doesn't look good for him.
:51:24. > :51:52.Sturridge, 2-0! Just always seems to get a goal, Daniel sturge and --
:51:53. > :51:58.Daniel Sturridge, and he puts Liverpool two goals in front. Lovely
:51:59. > :52:03.weight on the pass from Coutinhoment -- Coutinho. Sturridge tucks in to
:52:04. > :52:06.make it two. It's his 18th game of the season. He's scored in 14 of
:52:07. > :52:08.those 18 games. That's his 15th of the season.
:52:09. > :52:16.Liverpool have a cushion. Turei is onside. Sturridge over
:52:17. > :52:27.Howard and in for three! Two goals in the space of three
:52:28. > :52:34.minutes. And Liverpool lead Everton by three. He's clearly onside. It's
:52:35. > :52:38.a really good decision. It looked tight, but it wasn't really. He was
:52:39. > :52:44.well onside. His finish is fantastic. Luis Suarez has scored
:52:45. > :52:46.some extraordinary goals this season, and that's up there from
:52:47. > :53:08.Sturridge. He found some room where there
:53:09. > :53:22.shouldn't have been any. McCarthy has gone down for Everton.
:53:23. > :53:33.They are playing on. Suarez nicks it away from Jagielka.
:53:34. > :53:37.Suarez, 4-0 Liverpool! Jagielka's mistake. It's one from which he
:53:38. > :53:42.couldn't recover. An evening to forget for Evertonians and Jagielka
:53:43. > :53:46.here. Half the length of the pitch, Luis Suarez. Just ahead of the
:53:47. > :53:54.Everton defender and did what you would expect him to do - tucks home
:53:55. > :53:56.his 23rd goal of the season. That equals his total for the whole of
:53:57. > :54:09.last season's campaign. Tim Howard comes out and that's a
:54:10. > :54:16.penalty! Oh, it's getting worse by the minute for Everton. Howard doing
:54:17. > :54:20.everything he could. I think, not to make contact, but he made the
:54:21. > :54:24.contact. Daniel Sturridge will take the penalty.
:54:25. > :54:31.Gerrard gave him the ball, gave him the responsibility and he misses.
:54:32. > :54:37.There's been one hat-trick in this fixture since 1935 at Anfield. That
:54:38. > :54:40.was Steven Gerrard two years ago. Gerrard gave Sturridge the chance to
:54:41. > :54:56.add his name to that very short list, and he missed it.
:54:57. > :55:04.Sturridge tried to do too much. Wasted. Suarez is furious. Just
:55:05. > :55:09.overegged it here. He made scoring in the first half look easy. A
:55:10. > :55:14.brilliant win for us and a big game and a derby game. So to score four
:55:15. > :55:18.goals and arguably we could have had two or three more with the right
:55:19. > :55:21.final pass and the penalty miss, but overall, I'm delighted for the
:55:22. > :55:26.players because they work very, very hard. Too many things that weren't
:55:27. > :55:31.as they can be, the circumstances are clear. We have many players
:55:32. > :55:36.coming back, probably rushed back too early. We've had lack of match
:55:37. > :55:40.fitness. That cost us the way that we normally perform. That's
:55:41. > :55:43.something that we need to make sure they recover. We need to bounce
:55:44. > :55:48.straight back on Saturday and make sure that we perform in the manner
:55:49. > :55:51.we did until today. Merseyside derbies are always
:55:52. > :55:54.significant games. But this one perhaps more than most. This is the
:55:55. > :55:58.biggest game in 30 years because of the Champions League and fourth
:55:59. > :56:01.place. The biggest thing in a Merseyside derby for the players to
:56:02. > :56:05.adjust to the pace of the game. Liverpool did it. Everton didn't. In
:56:06. > :56:09.the first half Liverpool, with Gerrard leading by example, just got
:56:10. > :56:13.into them quick and never let them settle. Every time Everton attacked,
:56:14. > :56:18.I thought Liverpool were going to score much the tactics from Brendan
:56:19. > :56:23.Rogers were spot on. You mention the tactics, counteracting in many ways.
:56:24. > :56:28.Everton's tactics have been so successful. I think you're a fan of
:56:29. > :56:33.the two full full backs. Long as you have someone else. Yeah, you need
:56:34. > :56:36.the insurance. The old days, if a fullback on the left side bombed
:56:37. > :56:40.forward, the fullback on the other side would tuck in. But Everton have
:56:41. > :56:43.done well with the two full backs bombing forward. This is Coleman
:56:44. > :56:47.against Manchester United, six minutes to go in the match, This is
:56:48. > :56:56.when they score. The two of them are in the box here. It's unheard of.
:56:57. > :56:59.It's eventually in the back of the net. Against Arsenal they had masses
:57:00. > :57:09.of possession. Two full backs again, they're running at will. Again, we
:57:10. > :57:16.haven't got time, we could go back, but sooner or later this will come
:57:17. > :57:19.unstuck. Last night it did. Stones should never, ever go forward
:57:20. > :57:23.because of the space. Anybody can see the space. If you have Suarez
:57:24. > :57:27.and Sturridge in your side, you have to have masses of insurance. The
:57:28. > :57:32.space is there, Suarez picks up. Sturridge makes the run. Jagielka
:57:33. > :57:35.can't get across. 2-0 and the game is effectively over. It was a
:57:36. > :57:39.massive defeat for Everton. It's finding that balance. The modern
:57:40. > :57:41.day, you could say Everton lost it trying to win it, the way they're
:57:42. > :57:45.trying to attack with the full backs. We worked with Arsene Wenger,
:57:46. > :57:49.the philosophy was to attack. You have two managers here who wanted to
:57:50. > :57:54.play attacking football. I would look at Barry giving the ball away,
:57:55. > :57:57.Stones is told to get forward. His manager sending him forward the
:57:58. > :58:00.whole match. If they don't lose the ball, they build attack from there.
:58:01. > :58:04.You have to applaud the way they try to play. But the balance was not
:58:05. > :58:07.quite right but it was with Liverpool with Gerrard in front,
:58:08. > :58:13.they were magnificent. You should never applaud anybody just beaten
:58:14. > :58:17.4-0 when it could have been seven. But it's worked for them so far this
:58:18. > :58:22.season. They've been a standout side. Fourth place is going to be
:58:23. > :58:25.Liverpool's probably. Sooner or later was going to go wrong and it
:58:26. > :58:29.went wrong last night. Arsenal went into the FA Cup break at the top of
:58:30. > :58:33.the table. Their return to league action last night saw them face a
:58:34. > :58:38.stern test away to Southampton. Martin Fisher was at St Mary's.
:58:39. > :58:47.The latest youngster to emerge from Southampton's impressive production
:58:48. > :58:51.line, 18-year-old Sam Gallagher makes his full Premier League debut.
:58:52. > :58:56.He came off the bench to score against Yeovil here in the cup on
:58:57. > :59:03.Saturday. Arteta is back to captain Arsenal.
:59:04. > :59:25.Jack Wilshere ruled out with an injury.
:59:26. > :59:38.Adam Lallana was still bad. The penalty area is very congested.
:59:39. > :59:50.Squeezes the cross over. Arteta in the way. Gallagher! Great save by
:59:51. > :59:54.the goalkeeper. What a dream introduction this would have been on
:59:55. > :59:57.his fault and merely their beautiful. Arsenal have made a rocky
:59:58. > :00:22.start. Southampton take the lead. What a
:00:23. > :00:38.terrific ball in. Joe is a font gets the better of his marker. Fonte,
:00:39. > :00:51.with his first goal since August at Southampton in front. What a mess by
:00:52. > :01:02.Sam Gallagher. What an opportunity for the 18-year-old. It ricocheted
:01:03. > :01:08.off a Southampton player. This looked as though it would be a tough
:01:09. > :01:09.test. Southampton have looked dangerous throughout. Free kick to
:01:10. > :01:24.Arsenal. Up went Mertesacker. Arsenal's first
:01:25. > :01:35.corner and we are in the 44th minute. Terrific save. Koscielny
:01:36. > :02:01.denied. It is in. Sign your! Two minutes
:02:02. > :02:18.into the second half, Arsenal are level. Sagna does ever so well to
:02:19. > :02:35.keep it alive. Look at that lovely backheel touch from Giroud. We have
:02:36. > :02:45.a real game on our hands now. Arsenal have two players over on the
:02:46. > :03:01.right hand side. Lots of Ozil. It is in! Cazorla. The game has been
:03:02. > :03:12.turned on its head. Those ill's pass back, just moved away from the
:03:13. > :03:21.goalkeeper. He could not get across in time. Cazorla could not have
:03:22. > :03:31.placed it any better. What did he say at half-time? Arsenal fans are
:03:32. > :03:40.chanting, " we are top of the league". But hang on a minute, 2-2!
:03:41. > :03:48.Adam Lallana, the Southampton captain at the superb work from his
:03:49. > :03:55.fellow international, Rodriguez. Lovely ball across and Adam Lallana
:03:56. > :04:16.sweeps home his seventh of the campaign. A regular scorer here.
:04:17. > :04:25.Deflected and against the bar. The goalkeeper was a spectator. It was a
:04:26. > :04:49.terrific run from Ozil. That was a robust challenge by
:04:50. > :04:56.Flamini. He is in trouble. Flamini sent off. He led with both feet.
:04:57. > :05:03.Were both feet off the ground as he made contact? The referee had a
:05:04. > :05:10.perfect view of the incident. Flamini is sent off. If there is to
:05:11. > :05:19.be a winner at the moment you would sends it is the home side. Great
:05:20. > :05:41.save by the goalkeeper. Says Neil keeps Southampton out. --
:05:42. > :05:48.Shenzhen Eto'o. TRANSLATION: I am disappointed because the team
:05:49. > :05:52.deserved three points today. We made a couple of mistakes that got
:05:53. > :05:56.Arsenal back into the game. You have to give credit to Southampton, they
:05:57. > :06:01.played very well. You have to give credit to my team who responded in
:06:02. > :06:09.the second half. We have shown a lot of character again tonight. It was
:06:10. > :06:13.great to get the goal and we looked like the only team that looked like
:06:14. > :06:20.scoring. On the whole, disappointing we did not get the three points.
:06:21. > :06:25.Southampton played really well. Like a whirlwind in that first half. I
:06:26. > :06:29.don't know what Arsene Wenger said at half-time but they came out a
:06:30. > :06:36.different team. Suddenly they went in front and then they will be
:06:37. > :06:42.unhappy with the way they conceded. Flamini was sent off and Mrs four
:06:43. > :06:49.games. Cazorla has been magnificent. Jack Wilshere is out. You wonder if
:06:50. > :06:57.this will catch up with Arsenal. Have you ever seen Arsene Wenger
:06:58. > :07:05.having a rant? No, never lost it in front of the players. He waits until
:07:06. > :07:07.the Monday to address the players. I don't think this is an Arsenal team
:07:08. > :07:15.looking over their shoulder, I think they are enjoying being at the top,
:07:16. > :07:20.until tonight. A few cracks? They have a lot of hard games coming up.
:07:21. > :07:26.They play Liverpool a week on Saturday. Manchester United coming
:07:27. > :07:32.up. They have got themselves into a position where they can enjoy it. If
:07:33. > :07:37.you have them in this position now, they would handle it. After some
:07:38. > :07:40.well-documented difficulties, Manchester United were hoping then
:07:41. > :07:46.you star signing could kick-start their seeds and against Cardiff City
:07:47. > :07:52.last night. It also marked the return of legends past and present.
:07:53. > :08:03.Manchester United's most expensive player in straight in the team. Mata
:08:04. > :08:10.has the chance to link up with Robin van Persie. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
:08:11. > :08:13.will be looking to dampen their enthusiasm on his first return to
:08:14. > :08:45.Manchester United. Second time! Less than six minutes
:08:46. > :08:51.gone, Robin van Persie is back and back amongst the goals. Last year's
:08:52. > :09:03.top scorer instantly back on the scoresheet. It started with Mata's
:09:04. > :09:05.crossfield ball. Cardiff thought they had survived the first
:09:06. > :09:19.onslaught. First the crossbar save them and then Marshall said then, it
:09:20. > :09:23.was third time lucky. This is going to be a tough one to write the fairy
:09:24. > :09:33.tale return. It is far from the perfect start.
:09:34. > :09:45.Could not apply the all-important touch. It came from the vision of
:09:46. > :09:57.Mata. Fantastic delivery. Evra, Young was on the move ahead of him.
:09:58. > :10:08.Manchester United throw. Now I Manchester United corner.
:10:09. > :10:16.Robin van Persie took over. Very close to his and Manchester
:10:17. > :10:25.United's second. Beautifully worked from the short corner. Ryan Giggs
:10:26. > :10:31.looked as though he wanted it. Five matches out with a groin injury.
:10:32. > :10:44.Wayne Rooney is back in the squad tonight. That was just behind
:10:45. > :11:02.Campbell. Evra, in the nick of time.
:11:03. > :11:13.Ashley Young! Tremendous strike from Ashley Young. He has doubled
:11:14. > :11:18.Manchester United's advantage. His second Premier League goal of the
:11:19. > :11:24.season. It was a fine effort. Manchester United needed that.
:11:25. > :11:27.Little drop of the shoulder, saw the opportunity and a really clean
:11:28. > :11:34.strike into the bottom of the corner. Just before the hour mark. A
:11:35. > :11:51.real piece of quality. Valencia in with a shooting
:11:52. > :11:57.opportunity. What a save by Marshall to keep out the Ecuadorian
:11:58. > :12:04.international. They look as though the chance had gone when he had
:12:05. > :12:09.stepped inside. That is a fantastic fingertip save from Marshall.
:12:10. > :12:17.Everybody told me Robin van Persie came up with the goods. So to get
:12:18. > :12:25.him and Rooney on the pitch will be important and with the addition of
:12:26. > :12:32.Mata will be important. We kept the ball really well. We never bottled
:12:33. > :12:36.it, as it is said here. We kept possession but the last third, we
:12:37. > :12:44.need to add speed and change the tempo. That will come. We have two
:12:45. > :12:51.players to give us the little extra in the last third. It was very
:12:52. > :12:55.exciting. It is unbelievable. I am happy with the team and the lads.
:12:56. > :13:03.They have welcomed me. I am looking forward to play more and to help the
:13:04. > :13:07.team. It was a real coup to sign him and all liars were on Mata. When you
:13:08. > :13:14.are signing a calibre player he is going to be on the ball a lot.
:13:15. > :13:20.Immediately you feel he is comfortable in his surroundings.
:13:21. > :13:26.There is van Percie. They know the quality of the man. He is looking
:13:27. > :13:32.forward. How often are you calling out for that in a Manchester United
:13:33. > :13:40.midfield? He plays a long ball, 60 yards into space. This sets the goal
:13:41. > :13:46.up. It is like a hand Renee going off suddenly. There is a spark about
:13:47. > :13:55.the team. They are following in on it. Fantastic start. This is a
:13:56. > :14:00.simple ball. Given himself time, has a look to see what is on. Ashley
:14:01. > :14:07.Young at the far post. He just needed to pull of the past. We know
:14:08. > :14:13.he has the technique. Here he is again, nice and simple. He is a
:14:14. > :14:20.quality, Pedigree player. The crowd were lifted as well. Ashley Young
:14:21. > :14:27.felt he was going to hit this. There is a spark about Manchester United.
:14:28. > :14:29.Don't give him that kind of space because he will hurt you. He has
:14:30. > :14:38.gone after the applause -- applause of the crowd. The big thing getting
:14:39. > :14:44.Robin van Persie back but you put Mata into the equation! It is now
:14:45. > :14:51.between Liverpool and Manchester United for fourth. They have spent a
:14:52. > :14:58.lot of money, but he has proven it. Only six points behind of a top four
:14:59. > :15:02.space. It could happen for them. Three games to show you from last
:15:03. > :15:07.night. Palace versus Norwich but first a meeting between two sides,
:15:08. > :15:37.Swansea against Fulham. Dan Burn made his debut last time
:15:38. > :15:41.and it's the same team that started against the Gunners.
:15:42. > :16:06.That was the right idea from the Fulham man, wrong execution.
:16:07. > :16:16.Hangerland heads that ball over the bar.
:16:17. > :16:35.It was straight at Tremmel. It's against the bar. Shelvey again.
:16:36. > :16:40.Swansea's first chance of the match and it was so close to being the
:16:41. > :16:57.first goal of the match. Just a fraction too high.
:16:58. > :17:04.Swansea make the breakthrough and Jonjo Shelvey has got it.
:17:05. > :17:09.Fulham most unfortunate here, as the ball is played in, Shelvey with the
:17:10. > :17:14.shot, certainly on target. But it pings off Sidwell and then
:17:15. > :17:27.Hangeland. Just pushed over by Stekelenburg.
:17:28. > :17:36.Swansea search for a second. He will get the first yellow card.
:17:37. > :17:59.That's the reason why. It's in! It's another deflection,
:18:00. > :18:03.but choke yes Flores will be claiming this one. For the second
:18:04. > :18:07.time this season, Maarten Stekelenburg is beaten by a Swansea
:18:08. > :18:14.effort which took the final touch from a Fulham player.
:18:15. > :18:19.It comes off Dimitar Berbatovment -- Dimitar Berbatov. It's not a good
:18:20. > :18:24.night for them. Trz a massive win today. First of all, winning after
:18:25. > :18:29.several games in the league. Secondly against a direct opponent.
:18:30. > :18:35.They had 19 points. We had 21 H of course, when we play those direct
:18:36. > :18:40.opponents now, which we have to in the next games as well, it's even
:18:41. > :18:45.more important to get the points. I think the three points today were
:18:46. > :18:50.massive. The first half we played a good game, we were well organised.
:18:51. > :18:53.We didn't give anything away. We should have been 1-0 up. The second
:18:54. > :18:57.half was disappointing from our thought. Swansea played well, moved
:18:58. > :19:01.the ball better. They got the break with the goal that he got from
:19:02. > :19:07.Shelvey with through a deflection it took, but it typifies the situation
:19:08. > :19:17.we're in. Crystal Palace defender Dela ne y
:19:18. > :19:22.won two romotions with Hull City. Jerome returns to the side. Hull
:19:23. > :19:30.have their ?14 million strike force together for the first time.
:19:31. > :19:51.Hull look to end a run of eight away games without a win.
:19:52. > :20:00.Ease gone down. All eyes on the referee here. He gives a goal kick.
:20:01. > :20:03.Shane Long can't believe it. You just sense he's thought about it for
:20:04. > :20:07.a moment and may well have heard from his assistants. It's an awful
:20:08. > :20:26.tangle. He's furious, isn't he?
:20:27. > :20:34.It's 1-0 to Crystal Palace! Jason Puncheon has done it again.
:20:35. > :20:40.15 minutes played, and the work down the right set it up. Puncheon needed
:20:41. > :20:49.two opportunities. But he made no mistake with the second one.
:20:50. > :20:56.A slightly fortunate break. A second chance to cross and a second chance
:20:57. > :21:05.to have a sight of goal. Crystal Palace lead by 1-0.
:21:06. > :21:11.The wind has caught hold of this one.
:21:12. > :21:19.He should have hit the target surely and perhaps should have scored for
:21:20. > :21:34.Hull City. It's good work from Jelavic.
:21:35. > :21:52.He picked someone out but somehow it's gone wide.
:21:53. > :22:01.A good challenge. He went in firmly there. He's caused McGreggor to come
:22:02. > :22:12.a long way. That was late. It's a yellow card.
:22:13. > :22:18.Oh, and a red card for the Hull City goalkeeper, McGregor. What drama in
:22:19. > :22:26.stoppage time. Hull City's goalkeeper is sent off. He draws a
:22:27. > :22:33.kick. It's an arm raised and then a kick out from him. One draws yellow,
:22:34. > :22:38.the other brings straight red. We've seen again today, we've played a
:22:39. > :22:42.team with a lot of quality. You know, we do that every week, we have
:22:43. > :22:46.to play teams with real quality. We have 23 points. We need another 17.
:22:47. > :22:50.It's going to be difficult. We know that. We're totally disappointed
:22:51. > :22:56.that we haven't taken anything from the game because we didn't deserve
:22:57. > :23:00.that. We deserved to win the match, the possession we've had. Our night
:23:01. > :23:07.was summed up by the decisions we didn't get.
:23:08. > :23:27.One Norwich change: Pilkington's first start in two months.
:23:28. > :23:44.There's a place on the bench for 16-year-old striker Adam Armstrong.
:23:45. > :23:49.Oh, off the post somehow! That was a real muddle.
:23:50. > :24:12.Newcastle really unlucky. Remy tries to curl one. He hits the
:24:13. > :24:17.post! Newcastle are on top in this match by a massive margin so far.
:24:18. > :24:24.The post has saved Norwich not once, but twice, already.
:24:25. > :25:00.He goes down, the referee waits and says no penalty.
:25:01. > :25:11.He accelerates, there's the clip. No card for him.
:25:12. > :25:25.Arfa has tumbled, edge of the box. Arfa is a real box of tricks.
:25:26. > :25:33.It's Remy. And the wood work again. Three times the frame of the goal
:25:34. > :25:40.has kept out Newcastle's moo raweding hordes.
:25:41. > :25:55.-- marading hordes. Now the cross-bar saves Newcastle.
:25:56. > :26:08.Now Remy being fouled. And Johnson and Remy square up. Remy goes in.
:26:09. > :26:14.Now what did Chris toy and maybe his assistant see? A red card for Loic
:26:15. > :26:19.Remy. Newcastle down to ten. Now what punishment for Johnson here.
:26:20. > :26:29.It's red for him too. Both dismissed.
:26:30. > :26:38.A good cross and somehow Krul makes the save. What a save it was, as
:26:39. > :26:43.well. Tim Krul underused for so much of this game, when it matters most,
:26:44. > :26:48.boy, does he deliver. How on earth have you not won that
:26:49. > :26:55.game tonight? It begs belief. We were terrific. We pushed the Kabay
:26:56. > :27:00.thing to one side. We set up differently with two players. They
:27:01. > :27:03.terrorised Norwich in the first half an hour. We didn't work their
:27:04. > :27:06.goalkeeper enough. That's a concern. We're up against a real good team
:27:07. > :27:10.today. Certainly it is a concern. We'll just have to continue to keep
:27:11. > :27:13.working as hard as we can. No goals there, big wins for Swansea and
:27:14. > :27:18.Crystal Palace. The way they're going, they might qualify for the
:27:19. > :27:21.Europa League. Similar to Sunderland, where Crystal Palace in
:27:22. > :27:27.November, we thought they were gone. Now six points separating ten sides
:27:28. > :27:31.at the bottom. It's going to be exceptionally exciting. , five clean
:27:32. > :27:35.sheets from 11 games, have you to question the wisdom. He's never been
:27:36. > :27:39.relegated. It doesn't look like he's going to be relegated now. The Great
:27:40. > :28:06.Escape. Before we leave you, let's look at the league table:
:28:07. > :28:12.Let's see what tomorrow morning's papers have to say. Manchester City
:28:13. > :28:18.dominate the back pages. Catch us if you can, in the Daily Express. Next
:28:19. > :28:22.to a picture of Manchester City celebrating players. The Times lead
:28:23. > :28:28.on the latest injury concern for Sergio Aguero. The Mirror says
:28:29. > :28:32.Arsenal are on the verge of signing Draxler for ?30 million.
:28:33. > :28:36.Manchester City march to the top in emphatic style. Can anyone stand
:28:37. > :28:40.firm against the sky blue battering ram? It's Chelsea next. Good luck
:28:41. > :28:46.with that one, Jose. Good night.
