:00:57. > :01:03.Wayne Rooney goes for the extraordinary, and unbelievable
:01:04. > :01:11.goal. A hat-trick. What a beauty! Tettey, what a shot,
:01:12. > :01:24.what a goal! Samuel Ito for Chelsea, he scores
:01:25. > :01:26.brilliantly. -- Eto'o. What a goal from Ross Barkley.
:01:27. > :01:32.Gerrard, brilliant. Hello. What a few days it's been in
:01:33. > :01:36.the Barclays Premier League. And, don't think for a minute that things
:01:37. > :01:38.are about to slow down. We've got a cracking Match Of The Day for you
:01:39. > :02:11.this week. Alan Shearer joins me once again,
:02:12. > :02:15.alongside Alan Hansen. Plenty for you to live up to, after Russell
:02:16. > :02:18.Brand's debut last week. Don't let us down.
:02:19. > :02:21.We start with the League leaders. Chelsea travelled to Crystal Palace,
:02:22. > :02:24.unbeaten in nine London derbies this season. Palace went into the game
:02:25. > :02:33.three points above the drop zone. Your commentator, Jonathan Pearce.
:02:34. > :02:42.Joe Ledley was the last Crystal Palace they are to score from open
:02:43. > :02:48.play. As their recovery in the rat race has been checked by a lack of
:02:49. > :02:54.scoring. Chelsea anticipate a hard afternoon in a must win game for
:02:55. > :02:59.them. Panellists are unchanged, looking
:03:00. > :03:03.for a much-needed first ever Premier League victory over Chelsea. Only
:03:04. > :03:08.eight goals conceded in their last ten games.
:03:09. > :03:24.Lampard replaces scar -- Oscar. Ramires is suspended.
:03:25. > :03:41.Bolasie taking on Ivanovic. That was a lovely ball. Bolasie. Ivanovic is
:03:42. > :03:48.ahead of him. A lovely cross in. Terry put it away as he has done all
:03:49. > :03:49.season. David Luiz looking away to the right-hand side, seeing and
:03:50. > :04:01.Torres. Palace have plenty of players back,
:04:02. > :04:05.they shouldn't concede here. They have switched off momentarily,
:04:06. > :04:10.across the goal and just wide. Palace had so many players that bad,
:04:11. > :04:18.then switched off, to the overlap. Couldn't touch it home.
:04:19. > :04:27.Jerome is in the penalty area, Ledley as well, twisting and
:04:28. > :04:35.turning. A chance. Finding Puncheon. To the far post, Bolasie.
:04:36. > :04:40.Chelsea didn't defend it while initially. He couldn't finish from
:04:41. > :04:49.there. He thought it was going in. Jerome on the edge of the penalty
:04:50. > :05:07.area. He did well. Mariappa, tight to the line. Jerome.
:05:08. > :05:11.Jerome has gone down, the Palace fans behind the goal want a
:05:12. > :05:16.penalty. Is this a penalty, does he make contact on Jerome? I think his
:05:17. > :05:31.momentum takes him into Cahill. Delaney has continued his run
:05:32. > :05:38.forward. Bolasie. Trying to get back, and he has done really. Goes
:05:39. > :05:43.to ground with a challenge. Appeals for a penalty. At normal speed, you
:05:44. > :05:49.can think, you can understand why the referee thinks Cahill has pushed
:05:50. > :05:55.the ball away from Bolasie. I think that is a good penalty shout for
:05:56. > :06:00.Crystal Palace. Chelsea known Manchester City are breathing down
:06:01. > :06:02.their neck. Liverpool keep picking up results. They have to go to
:06:03. > :06:18.Anfield. This is huge. Near post, it is in, an own goal!
:06:19. > :06:23.Crystal Palace are ahead against the League leaders through an own goal
:06:24. > :06:29.by the Chelsea captain. You can't say they don't deserve it. It was a
:06:30. > :06:37.good build-up. A decent ball in. It was unfortunate for Terry.
:06:38. > :06:55.Matt H. -- Matic. Great teamwork. A dry eye Hazard. A terrific save, he
:06:56. > :07:02.kept it down brilliantly. A first shot Speroni has had to save and
:07:03. > :07:07.didn't he that while? He turns and stalks away and mutters. What does
:07:08. > :07:14.he do now? They can afford no slip ups, they can't afford another Villa
:07:15. > :07:25.Park. A poor ball away from Terry. Puncheon away to the right-hand. 30
:07:26. > :07:32.yards, a quick shot. Oh! On close shaves like that, titles are won and
:07:33. > :07:33.lost. Teams stay up or are plummeted down through the trapdoor. How
:07:34. > :07:56.close. Palace have all 11 back inside their
:07:57. > :08:03.penalty area. Oscar to deliver it in it came, just over the bar. He very
:08:04. > :08:12.nearly redeemed himself. Palace had to defend better than that set
:08:13. > :08:13.pieces. -- have. Tony Pulis with the instructions, batten down the
:08:14. > :08:25.hatches. Join them on and making it tight in
:08:26. > :08:30.the area. Oscar. A brilliant save, what a save. It could keep Crystal
:08:31. > :08:34.Palace in the Premier League. An offside flag was raised against
:08:35. > :08:41.Torres as he went to close. What a save. Flinging himself to the left.
:08:42. > :08:47.One of the most important saves of the season. How much will that be
:08:48. > :08:55.worth if it saves Crystal Palace. Jedinak, mound -- man mountain,
:08:56. > :09:02.powering on. Cameron Jerome. It hits the post. Wait for the near side
:09:03. > :09:07.when most would expect him to do across the goalkeeper. A team
:09:08. > :09:16.battling against relegation. Coming so close. 2-0 almost.
:09:17. > :09:26.The cross looking for Jerome. Ledley. Is there any League in the
:09:27. > :09:36.world a prop from the Premier League which could offer this up? -- apart
:09:37. > :09:38.from. Biting their fingernails, the
:09:39. > :09:47.Chelsea fans. Giving it away to Oscar.
:09:48. > :09:58.He is dancing. Taking on Cahill. For men against three. A really poor
:09:59. > :10:09.ball. Puncheon did well. Petr Cech saves. This was the moment when Petr
:10:10. > :10:18.Cech saved Chelsea. If ever a man could hurry up time, it is him.
:10:19. > :10:23.Demba Ba was in there. With Delaney. A corner kick. It could be the most
:10:24. > :10:28.important three and a half minutes of the season left. Cahill at the
:10:29. > :10:35.near post, Ivanovic was behind him. He has locked it away. Ward got it
:10:36. > :10:40.out. Six Chelsea players in the box.
:10:41. > :10:48.Terry was in behind. Still it won't go in. That is a very poor
:10:49. > :10:59.clearance. Hazard, great tackle on him. Going the other way. A terrible
:11:00. > :11:04.ball. Torres. He has lifted it over. He had options to get it the way
:11:05. > :11:14.down the field. The young man very nearly gave Torres an equaliser.
:11:15. > :11:26.Ivanovic with the diagonal. Hazard didn't keep it in. Is this a pivotal
:11:27. > :11:34.Saturday in the title and relegation campaigns? There has been a
:11:35. > :11:38.kerfuffle on the touchline, Jose Mourinho went back to his bench. He
:11:39. > :11:45.is being critical of the time Palace are taking over the throw. The
:11:46. > :11:50.referee told him to get back. He will be hurting inside desperately.
:11:51. > :11:56.We have had four minutes of stoppage time. Married with the touch. Is
:11:57. > :12:02.this a pivotal moment of the entire season? A huge win for Tony Pulis
:12:03. > :12:12.and Crystal Palace. A wretched day for John Terry and Chelsea. It is
:12:13. > :12:21.finished. Would you believe it? Mr Chelsea scored the decisive goal.
:12:22. > :12:26.I think now we lose any chance of finishing first. We depend too much
:12:27. > :12:30.on other results. The manager said your title hopes are river tonight,
:12:31. > :12:44.would you like to prove him wrong? We have to keep going. -- are over.
:12:45. > :12:49.All we can do is keep on pushing, that is all we can do. The opponents
:12:50. > :12:55.fought for their lives in an aggressive way but in a fair way.
:12:56. > :13:04.Again, it doesn't interfere with the result of the game. I don't like
:13:05. > :13:09.that provocation of the players, that is what happened at Swansea
:13:10. > :13:21.last year. The players loses his temper. It is not right to educate
:13:22. > :13:25.kids to do that. All of these things outside the main game, because of
:13:26. > :13:41.that desire, they deserve it. After the game I spoke to Tony
:13:42. > :13:48.Pulis. A great win, that must rate up there with some of your best
:13:49. > :13:54.victories? Yes, and at a very important time for us as a club
:13:55. > :13:57.because the results have dropped off. Although our performances have
:13:58. > :14:03.been OK and to beat a team like Chelsea, such great players, it will
:14:04. > :14:09.give everybody hoped to push on for the last seven games. When you look
:14:10. > :14:14.at your fixture list there are games you don't expect too much from, and
:14:15. > :14:25.this is one of them? There is about seven left. It is a tough ask for a
:14:26. > :14:29.group of players, most of them have not played in the Premiership. There
:14:30. > :14:35.is great spirit in the team and there is good organisation. But
:14:36. > :14:38.people have got to work as hard as what these lot worked since I came
:14:39. > :14:44.in. They have done exceptionally well today. Quite nerve wracking
:14:45. > :14:49.watching in those circumstances and your goalkeeper made that
:14:50. > :14:56.spectacular save? He has done well, but he is one of about 16, 18
:14:57. > :14:58.players who have been involved since I came to the club who have just
:14:59. > :15:07.shown a great attitude. You are not happy with us last week, where you
:15:08. > :15:12.Tony? Nope, I went home to watch Match Of The Day, I have been
:15:13. > :15:15.watching it since I was knee-high to a grasshopper. I enjoy it and I
:15:16. > :15:20.enjoy watching the football, but there was chances we created that
:15:21. > :15:28.you never showed. You know what I am like, if I get a bee in my bonnet, I
:15:29. > :15:35.am a nightmare. We will see plenty of your team's chances in tonight's
:15:36. > :15:40.show. I will be rushing back, and if we don't, I will get your number and
:15:41. > :15:45.I will be ringing. I have been warned.
:15:46. > :15:48.He did e-mail the BBC to complain about the edit last week against
:15:49. > :15:54.Newcastle. I hope he will not complain about this one. A huge blow
:15:55. > :15:59.to Chelsea's title aspirations, but all credit must go to Tony Pulis and
:16:00. > :16:03.Crystal Palace? They created more chances and worked harder and they
:16:04. > :16:11.wanted it more than Chelsea did. What they did very well today was,
:16:12. > :16:15.they got people behind the ball, but they broke quickly and made the
:16:16. > :16:17.picture very narrow for Chelsea. Chelsea had no whip whatsoever.
:16:18. > :16:23.picture very narrow for Chelsea. Chelsea had I will. It in a second,
:16:24. > :16:29.ten players behind the ball, Chelsea could not get through. But watch the
:16:30. > :16:35.way they broke, Delaney, Bolasie, Puncheon. The two guys have ran from
:16:36. > :16:43.the edge of the box. Could have been a penalty but it wasn't. They did is
:16:44. > :16:49.a very, very well. Right-hand side, screaming for somebody to pass it
:16:50. > :16:54.to. They forced everything down the middle. They should have been a
:16:55. > :17:01.player coming in here so Ivanovic can knock it to the right-hand side.
:17:02. > :17:06.But, men in behind the ball again. Second half this time, straight down
:17:07. > :17:13.the middle. They broke again and this time it is Cameron running with
:17:14. > :17:18.the ball, Puncheon is breaking. It is a fantastic save from Petr Cech.
:17:19. > :17:22.They are getting at the Chelsea back for. No whip, nothing on the left,
:17:23. > :17:30.nothing on the right, straight down the middle. Last ten minutes or five
:17:31. > :17:39.minutes, desperate, long ball up. Demba Ba is on now, Oscar is there,
:17:40. > :17:46.nothing whatsoever. When they did get in behind them, and little bit
:17:47. > :17:51.of luck, what a fantastic save. That is a brilliant save. Not only did he
:17:52. > :17:58.save it, he pushed it far enough out of the way from Torres. This is Tony
:17:59. > :18:03.Pulis's home game with them since he came in. The impressive thing for me
:18:04. > :18:08.is they have only conceded 39 goals and there are only five teams in the
:18:09. > :18:13.Premier League who better that. With that record, they have a great
:18:14. > :18:20.chance of staying up. They are better with the ball since he came
:18:21. > :18:25.in. What has gone wrong with Chelsea? When it comes to the
:18:26. > :18:32.crunch, you find out about your players, but defensively they are
:18:33. > :18:36.solid. Going forward, they have a few players, when it is going well
:18:37. > :18:43.brilliant, but when it is not going well... Jose Mourinho hinted today
:18:44. > :18:53.that some of them lack courage? I think today they did. They haven't
:18:54. > :18:57.got an important goal-scorer. That is important when you consider what
:18:58. > :19:00.Manchester City and Liverpool have got. You need someone who can
:19:01. > :19:05.produce the goods. They were beaten away against Stoke, they should have
:19:06. > :19:08.been four up in the first 20 minutes but they failed to score. Chelsea's
:19:09. > :19:11.defeat meant that Manchester City went into their game at Arsenal
:19:12. > :19:25.knowing a win would take them to the top following their resounding derby
:19:26. > :19:32.victory in midweek. Manchester City lead, 40 seconds into the Derby.
:19:33. > :19:36.Edin Dzeko has scored his second goal of the game. There is no
:19:37. > :19:47.stopping Manchester City on Derby day. Toure! Manchester in as blue
:19:48. > :19:50.again. Arsenal's title challenge seemed to be over after a
:19:51. > :19:54.humiliating 6-0 defeat at Stamford Bridge but with Chelsea's defeat at
:19:55. > :20:01.Palace, were they back in it? Guy Mowbray was at the Emirates.
:20:02. > :20:17.If the door has creaked slightly open for Arsenal again, it has alone
:20:18. > :20:20.write open the Manchester City. Manchester City are unchanged. It is
:20:21. > :20:33.the first time they have been from one league game to the next all
:20:34. > :20:55.season. Vincent Kompany has been in imperious form. Edin Dzeko was over
:20:56. > :21:01.at the back post demanding the ball. It was curling all the way. Just not
:21:02. > :21:10.enough. Since the Manchester City got out of their half for the first
:21:11. > :21:16.time, they have not been back. What a feel we have got to the game. It
:21:17. > :21:25.is open, the teams are hell-bent on attack. Thought he might have been
:21:26. > :21:38.offside. Could not play a part in getting the return ball. The rapper
:21:39. > :21:47.arrays said it is a goal kick. -- the referee.
:21:48. > :22:01.They think that was a foul. It is not a foul, then he was basically
:22:02. > :22:12.taking a dive will stop rose its ski claims Zabaleta nudged him. I wonder
:22:13. > :22:26.why no yellow card for the Arsenal number seven.
:22:27. > :22:39.Off the post. Silva has scored. Manchester City have the lead. It
:22:40. > :22:43.came from Lukas Podolski being tackled and losing possession in the
:22:44. > :22:55.city half of the field. Did not have the time to be extra touch with and
:22:56. > :23:05.Navas coming in. There is the little Spaniard to get the final touch.
:23:06. > :23:11.Blistering drive against the post. Silva started it. Silva finishes it.
:23:12. > :23:43.Despite the goalkeeper's best efforts. Toure could not control it.
:23:44. > :23:59.Even though the ball is in the nets, the goal will not stand. It is the
:24:00. > :24:02.right decision. Arsene Wenger stressed the message in the
:24:03. > :24:16.build-up, champions keep going. His side have not even nope. -- Given
:24:17. > :24:33.up. The goalkeeper lost it but it is
:24:34. > :24:40.rolled wide. It is going to be a goal kick. I don't think Arsenal
:24:41. > :24:54.were expecting that. City wanted the corner. They were close to getting a
:24:55. > :24:59.goal. Are they going to back? That was unorthodox from Joe Hart, but he
:25:00. > :25:22.made the save and that is what counts.
:25:23. > :25:52.-- Flamini. After an near miss at the other end, they got forward and
:25:53. > :25:58.there was a determination in their play. Manchester City's defence did
:25:59. > :26:11.not deal with that very well. Flamini moved in like a seasoned
:26:12. > :26:16.striker. This is a test of Manchester City's resolve. They have
:26:17. > :26:16.conceded a goal for the first time in half a dozen Premier League
:26:17. > :26:31.games. Demichelis just pulled away from
:26:32. > :26:38.it! Demichelis just pulled a leg back. I think he was 50% certain
:26:39. > :26:40.there was no Arsenal player running in but he could not take the risk of
:26:41. > :27:04.turning it into his own net. It is all Arsenal. Santi Cazorla!
:27:05. > :27:12.Through to but dull ski! Blocked by Hart. Enough of his body onto the
:27:13. > :27:18.ball. Which part of his body was it? It was his left boot. So close,
:27:19. > :27:28.Lukas Podolski. With so many thousands inside the ground thinking
:27:29. > :27:45.he had made it 2-1. Navas was too quick. Great power. Absolutely
:27:46. > :27:48.ripped into this, Fernandinho. Can't blame the goalkeeper for feeling the
:27:49. > :27:58.need to get the tips of his fingers to it.
:27:59. > :28:23.Into the feet of Silva. Toure! Cannot get through. Nazarene and
:28:24. > :28:38.Edin Dzeko. The blast was deflected wide. The
:28:39. > :28:48.the picture at the moment is one that will be appealing to Liverpool
:28:49. > :28:52.fans. We started nervy because of what we have gone through in our
:28:53. > :28:56.last two games. Psychologically we came back into the game. Once we
:28:57. > :29:00.were fully confident I think we controlled the game. Arsenal want to
:29:01. > :29:09.win all The Games, but it is not possible. Also fighting for the
:29:10. > :29:14.title. Maybe it was better to have three points today, but we have a
:29:15. > :29:21.point more and we are still depend on what we do between now and the
:29:22. > :29:29.end of the season. The crowd was fantastic today. I would like to
:29:30. > :29:34.thank the team. They will probably be happy with
:29:35. > :29:38.this. I thought they played well today.
:29:39. > :29:44.They went 1-0 up, then in trouble again, but a good Arsenal side.
:29:45. > :29:49.Arsenal, a better fighting performance against a big team. A
:29:50. > :29:53.lot of commitment, passion and quality. They were set up better
:29:54. > :29:59.than at Anfield and Stamford Bridge last week. I have to question why
:30:00. > :30:06.you would set up a team like that. There is a difference between
:30:07. > :30:10.leaving space behind. That is harder to do than pushing up and
:30:11. > :30:17.withdrawing to the 18-yard line. If you have Mertesacker in there. If I
:30:18. > :30:24.was picking someone to defend, to hold the line. Why would you try to
:30:25. > :30:32.push up and hold the line. They had warning signals against Tottenham at
:30:33. > :30:36.White Hart Lane. They have withdrawn to an extent but
:30:37. > :30:45.left space behind. The two centre backs are square. At Anfield, I
:30:46. > :30:51.can't believe what was going on. Last week, against Chelsea, same
:30:52. > :30:57.thing. 30 yards of space. They take advantage. That was at Anfield.
:30:58. > :31:03.And defending like you cannot believe, leaving so much space
:31:04. > :31:08.behind. Today, what did they do? They don't go towards the ball.
:31:09. > :31:14.Mertesacker and the Malin, as soon as City get in position, there is no
:31:15. > :31:21.space because they have withdrawn -- Vermaelen. They keep withdrawing
:31:22. > :31:32.until they get to the 18-yard line. Same again, second half. They are in
:31:33. > :31:36.total control here. They did really well. If you look at the number of
:31:37. > :31:43.says Szczesny had in the second half, they were minimal.
:31:44. > :31:49.In possession. A free kick. They did it so well. The question would be,
:31:50. > :31:54.if you know that is a way to play, why would you set up your team the
:31:55. > :32:00.way they did? It has cost them dearly. Talking about the title
:32:01. > :32:05.race, that is look at how things stand now.
:32:06. > :32:11.It is fascinating. Obviously, I think City will rightly
:32:12. > :32:16.be favourites now. Odds on favourites. There will be so many
:32:17. > :32:21.twists and turns. They have two very tough away games where they can drop
:32:22. > :32:32.games. Liverpool away. Everton as well. Still a long way to go. When
:32:33. > :32:41.you are going on the stretch, there are no bankers. There are no easy
:32:42. > :32:47.games. A great day for Liverpool. Whom do you think is going to win
:32:48. > :32:55.the title race this year? Go to the BBC sport website and cast your
:32:56. > :32:58.vote. We will give you the results at the end of the show.
:32:59. > :33:02.A good, old-fashioned relegation six-pointer next. West Brom began
:33:03. > :33:05.the day three points above second-from-bottom Cardiff, who
:33:06. > :33:06.pitched up at the Hawthorns with the worst away record in the division.
:33:07. > :33:21.Steve Bower is your commentator. Attempting to win another game at
:33:22. > :33:28.the Hawthorns. And he recalls Amalfitano. But there are injuries.
:33:29. > :33:35.Craig Bellamy's experience is used again. He was relegated three years
:33:36. > :33:36.ago with commentary. He looks to avoid an unwanted repeat with his
:33:37. > :33:52.hometown club. Theophile-Catherine with the ball
:33:53. > :33:58.forward. Ushering that out of play. Both managers have had a challenge
:33:59. > :34:05.since coming to the Premier League, seven points from 27. And seven
:34:06. > :34:24.points from 33 for his opposite number. Amalfitano. The goalkeeper
:34:25. > :34:29.off his line. And Marshall is beaten inside two minutes. Amalfitano, with
:34:30. > :34:35.a moment of improvisation, and sheer genius on his return to the starting
:34:36. > :34:41.line-up, to give West Bromwich Albion the lead. The awareness of
:34:42. > :34:50.where Marshall was, it was inch perfect. The Cardiff goalkeeper was
:34:51. > :34:51.stunned. What about that? Game plan out of the window inside two
:34:52. > :35:05.minutes. Blocked by Gunnerson for a West Brom
:35:06. > :35:11.throw. If he scored a better goal in his career, it would be a
:35:12. > :35:18.spectacular one, that is for sure. Has Morrison stayed onside?
:35:19. > :35:23.He has. A vital stop from Marshall. He was caught out with the goal but
:35:24. > :35:27.he wasn't here, David Marshall. Static defending again from Cardiff
:35:28. > :35:36.and a lovely touch from Morrison. Marshall was at full stretch.
:35:37. > :35:54.Mulumbu. Morrison. So many cod bodies are back back, the flag is
:35:55. > :36:01.down again. Dorrans, 2-0 West Brom, inside nine minutes. With his first
:36:02. > :36:10.goal in over a year. What a start from the home team. This was
:36:11. > :36:14.beautifully crafted. Really good run from Vydra. Theophile-Catherine
:36:15. > :36:17.couldn't get there. An intelligent square ball and Dorrans timed his
:36:18. > :36:26.run and wasn't going to miss that. Nine minutes in. The stadium are
:36:27. > :36:30.applauding for the campaign raising awareness for head injuries in
:36:31. > :36:42.football, the banner is raised in the Smethwick end -- End.
:36:43. > :36:46.Sessegnon has had an important return for West Brom in recent
:36:47. > :36:53.weeks. Taylor for Cardiff, it has opened up.
:36:54. > :37:02.Cardiff are searching for the lift they so badly need. Is Foster caught
:37:03. > :37:08.out, he is! Jordon Mutch. And Cardiff have one back. In very
:37:09. > :37:11.bizarre and extraordinary circumstances, but they won't worry
:37:12. > :37:19.about that. That is exactly what they needed. Marshall was caught out
:37:20. > :37:25.at one end. Now, Foster, at the other.
:37:26. > :37:39.Sessegnon. Shrugging off Medel, and succeeding. Vydra on the move, here
:37:40. > :37:46.he is. And Morrison, with the follow up, puts it over. That was a big
:37:47. > :37:54.moment for West Brom to restore their 2-goal cushion full -- and
:37:55. > :38:00.full credit to Sessegnon. Vydra was denied by Marshall. It came back to
:38:01. > :38:07.Marshall. Cardiff beat West Brom earlier in the season in December.
:38:08. > :38:18.That was Steve Clarke's last game, believed by the chairman, Jeremy
:38:19. > :38:28.peace -- Peace. The referee waited for an advantage, a foul by Mulumbu.
:38:29. > :38:31.Free kick to Cardiff. Medel with a free kick in towards Caulker who got
:38:32. > :38:40.his head to it. And he had equalised. Caulker, the captain,
:38:41. > :38:51.stepped up to the plate again. From two goals down, Cardiff are level at
:38:52. > :39:04.two - two, with 70 minutes to go. He knows they are right back in it now.
:39:05. > :39:13.A burst of pace. To the near post, and Foster. Trying to square that
:39:14. > :39:27.for Campbell. You always think you can store until
:39:28. > :39:41.the full-time whistle is blown. -- score.
:39:42. > :39:47.A deflected cross. Bifouma Koulossa. West Brom have won it, right at the
:39:48. > :39:54.death. A golden goal. The man brought in on loan. Just his second
:39:55. > :40:01.for West Brom. They got a deflection. Into the path of Bifouma
:40:02. > :40:07.Koulossa, and he kept his cool, to roll it home. It is a big goal for
:40:08. > :40:15.West Brom. That is a very hard one for Cardiff and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
:40:16. > :40:22.to take. Here comes Caulker. Surely there is another twist in the very
:40:23. > :40:27.last minute of stoppage time? West Brom break again. Trying to stay
:40:28. > :40:32.onside, they have done. Sessegnon and Bifouma Koulossa are in the
:40:33. > :40:38.centre. A disappointing ball from Berahino. The final few seconds. An
:40:39. > :40:49.extraordinary game. It has gone right to the death. Zaha. All the
:40:50. > :40:58.way through. It is Turner. It is Daehli. Would you believe it? With
:40:59. > :41:03.the last kick of the match. The Norwegian youngster has equalised
:41:04. > :41:11.for Cardiff. Absolutely extraordinary. The two managers
:41:12. > :41:22.smile and embrace. It has been one of those days. Daehli with his first
:41:23. > :41:32.goal in the Premier League. Zaha's cross. A touch from Turner. And
:41:33. > :41:36.Daehli shooting on the turn. The 95th minute. Cardiff didn't give
:41:37. > :41:48.up. They have managed somehow to rescue a point.
:41:49. > :41:57.I thought the two goals, you think it is not going to be our day. Poor
:41:58. > :42:00.defending, poor clearances. That is football. The character in these
:42:01. > :42:07.lads, I know they will get back again. TRANSLATION: We needed the
:42:08. > :42:11.boys and we had the opportunity to achieve these points.
:42:12. > :42:22.I believe we played well, we were 2-0 up. The draw is down to our own
:42:23. > :42:25.errors. I thought they deserved the goal and
:42:26. > :42:31.I thought we played really well in the second half. I kept thinking I
:42:32. > :42:39.have one more chance. If you lose this game, they are
:42:40. > :42:45.away, you cannot claw back anything. So, being able to get that point, at
:42:46. > :42:53.the end, they know how important that was. And how important it will
:42:54. > :43:03.be. Only one word, he said to me, and I said to him, unbelievable.
:43:04. > :43:09.Unbelievable. After an all. From Cardiff. It is a game West Brom
:43:10. > :43:17.should have one. Cardiff have lost eight games before
:43:18. > :43:23.this. They never got near the ball at all. So many Cardiff players
:43:24. > :43:30.behind the ball but nobody goes. Five or six go for the second one. A
:43:31. > :43:39.great save by Marshall. Then, 2-0 up. The same thing. Lots of red
:43:40. > :43:45.shirts. But nowhere near the ball. A simple ball over the top. A good
:43:46. > :43:52.run. You think there was no way back. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer brings
:43:53. > :43:57.Zaha on and it changes. All of a sudden, Cardiff start having a go.
:43:58. > :44:05.Bellamy nearly gets Campbell in there. Men forward. Campbell gets in
:44:06. > :44:12.a good position. He probably should have done better. Then the
:44:13. > :44:22.equaliser. From the 95th minute in that position. A big deflection. I
:44:23. > :44:23.suppose, because he made the change in the way they played, you could
:44:24. > :44:44.say they deserve a point. It was a bonkers finale. Yes, the
:44:45. > :44:52.managers having a little bit of a cuddle verve. This is incredible.
:44:53. > :45:00.The golden rule, run it into the corner, do anything you want but
:45:01. > :45:05.don't do that. It was amateur. Comedy Central. You have got to head
:45:06. > :45:13.for the corner and keep the ball. There was no betting they were going
:45:14. > :45:17.to go up the pitch and score. If you have got yourself into a great
:45:18. > :45:18.position a couple of times and then see that, it can affect you going
:45:19. > :45:20.forward. position a couple of times and then
:45:21. > :45:30.see that, it can affect The Cardiff, it will give them a boost.
:45:31. > :45:34.Outstanding goals? One but two people have asked whether he meant
:45:35. > :45:41.this. It is a brilliant piece of skill. Sensational goal. Allen
:45:42. > :45:50.thinks it is across. I don't. You don't think this is a cross? Get it
:45:51. > :45:57.in the box, get it in the goal. 98% of people thought it was across.
:45:58. > :46:15.Here's what's coming up in tomorrow's Match Of The Day 2.
:46:16. > :46:20.The Football League Show follows us on BBC One or the iPlayer and on
:46:21. > :46:25.Sunday night there's highlights of the Johnstone's Paint Trophy between
:46:26. > :46:27.Chesterfield and Peterborough. 11.25pm on BBC One and the action
:46:28. > :47:13.just keeps on coming. Another two sides now still involved
:47:14. > :47:15.in the relegation battle. Swansea are without a win in six but
:47:16. > :47:18.welcomed a Norwich side to the Liberty Stadium who have lost their
:47:19. > :47:29.last five on the road. Alistair Mann was watching.
:47:30. > :47:36.He may have scored three times, but he has been without a Premier League
:47:37. > :47:43.goal since the 22nd of September. Leon Britton makes his 400th of
:47:44. > :47:51.appearance for the Swans. Robert Snodgrass netted his goal. He was on
:47:52. > :48:08.target home and away against Swansea last season.
:48:09. > :48:24.We should expect an entertaining contest with both clubs still
:48:25. > :48:30.uncertain of their futures. You get the feeling had this been this time
:48:31. > :48:40.last season he would have smashed batter into the net. Following his
:48:41. > :48:45.dream start with the victory against Cardiff in his first game in charge,
:48:46. > :49:07.he has not won a game in six. Norwich manage to shovel it away as
:49:08. > :49:15.Jonathan de Guzman was looking to put in the rebound. It did need to
:49:16. > :49:25.be saved and Jonathan de Guzman looked like he was going to get it
:49:26. > :49:39.in but then Hoolahan made the tackle.
:49:40. > :49:51.Jonathan de Guzman hit it! 1-0 Swansea. 30th minute. Swansea have
:49:52. > :49:55.been asking all of the questions and it is not a surprise to see John
:49:56. > :50:03.Rooney having to pick the ball out of his net. Jonathan de Guzman with
:50:04. > :50:15.his third Premier League goal of the campaign. He scored in a 4-3 defeat
:50:16. > :50:21.to Norwich. We expect drama today. Miquel Michu making a nuisance of
:50:22. > :50:29.himself. That is what it means to the gaffer. Has not tasted victory
:50:30. > :50:39.since his first match in charge. Norwich aren't safe yet.
:50:40. > :50:48.Brilliant, absolutely tremendous goal. You have two sits back and
:50:49. > :50:53.admire batter. Swansea are beginning to say to everybody in the Premier
:50:54. > :51:00.League, we are staying among the elite for another season. Look at
:51:01. > :51:12.this. It is an absolute perfect example. Jonathan de Guzman sets it
:51:13. > :51:16.into the path of Wilfred Bony. Clipped over the legs of the
:51:17. > :51:23.goalkeeper. It is just there to be add my head. You would feel Swansea
:51:24. > :51:29.are heading for the three points that would make them safe. Norwich
:51:30. > :51:43.have to get the next goal or they could be in big trouble here. That
:51:44. > :51:51.is the first time the Swansea goalkeeper has had anything to do.
:51:52. > :51:56.Norwich have never lost a Premier League game to Swansea City, so
:51:57. > :52:01.maybe we should not discount a Norwich comeback this afternoon.
:52:02. > :52:17.They have started the second half with two changes having been made by
:52:18. > :52:29.Chris Hughton. Not a bad cross in. It did reach vandals, and what a
:52:30. > :52:33.start to the second half by Norwich. Chris Hughton probably couldn't wait
:52:34. > :52:39.to get his team into the dressing room at half-time and they have
:52:40. > :52:55.react positively. Almost got themselves back into the game. That
:52:56. > :53:03.finishes it off, Jonjo Shelvey. Another well worked goal. Wayne
:53:04. > :53:07.Routledge ensures Norwich are beaten and Swansea will go above them in
:53:08. > :53:16.the table. Jonjo Shelvey and Wayne Routledge. What a good finish beyond
:53:17. > :53:24.John Ruddy. Into the corner of his goal. For the first time in the
:53:25. > :53:31.Premier League, Swansea will get three points against today's
:53:32. > :53:39.opponents. It was important we got the points which were crucial. I
:53:40. > :53:44.don't think that was us at our best. We can improve in certain areas. But
:53:45. > :53:48.to come away with three goals and the three points in that
:53:49. > :53:53.performance, I cannot complain. Credit to Swansea, they were better
:53:54. > :53:58.than us. We had a decent spell at the beginning of the second half
:53:59. > :54:04.were Robert Snodgrass had a good chance and it was a terrific save
:54:05. > :54:08.but they always threatened. I am finding it difficult to get the
:54:09. > :54:13.formula away from home. The Canaries rarely sing out of their own cage,
:54:14. > :54:23.but the Swans were good? They were very good. I'd prefer to concentrate
:54:24. > :54:35.on their good forward play. But Hanson's BP was rising rapidly at
:54:36. > :54:40.the defending. Lots of mistakes. Two mistakes, three mistakes. How many
:54:41. > :54:52.mistakes do you want? This is great though, Wilfired Bony is a handful.
:54:53. > :54:57.And this coming up. I am not saying anything, you can have it all. Jonjo
:54:58. > :55:08.Shelvey gets onto the ball. Great feet from Wilfred Bony again. Wayne
:55:09. > :55:15.Routledge, very good finishing. I will say something about the Swansea
:55:16. > :55:20.manager, he has done a great job. Only their second win under him.
:55:21. > :55:34.Yes, but I think they will avoid relegation. We've seen four great
:55:35. > :55:37.games and we've still got three smashing fixtures to come.
:55:38. > :55:40.Manchester United have already lost six times at Old Trafford this
:55:41. > :55:55.season - that's more than the previous three years combined. Today
:55:56. > :55:58.they faced an Aston Villa side who've only beaten the Champions
:55:59. > :56:09.once in their last 36 meetings. Commentary by Simon Brotherton.
:56:10. > :56:21.Another bigwig looms the David Moyes with Bayern Munich in town.
:56:22. > :56:25.Christian Benteke a Leeds the Aston Villa attack as they look for what
:56:26. > :56:32.would be only their second win in the last 37 league matches between
:56:33. > :56:36.the two clubs. Great reception at the David Moyes as he came out of a
:56:37. > :56:43.minute or two before the players. We knew it was coming, and there it
:56:44. > :56:56.is. Not particularly well received by the crowd inside the stadium.
:56:57. > :57:04.Aston Villa with the free kick right on the edge of the penalty area.
:57:05. > :57:13.There it is again. First real opportunity to test the goalkeeper.
:57:14. > :57:23.Everybody in red back inside the Manchester United penalty area. It
:57:24. > :57:27.is Westwood. 1-0 Aston Villa. It is a beautiful free kick. Aston Villa
:57:28. > :57:31.lead inside 13 minutes and it is their first shot on goal in the
:57:32. > :57:49.match. Westwood, with a brilliant free kick that only David Daguerre
:57:50. > :57:59.could only -- David de Gea. They are going to have to come from behind
:58:00. > :58:04.this afternoon. Martin Atkins and calling Leandro Bacuna over. Only a
:58:05. > :58:12.quarter of an hour into this match. It looked to me as if Mark
:58:13. > :58:20.Albrighton jumped straight over him. That was a free header for Kieran
:58:21. > :58:31.Clark. A free header for the Aston Villa defender. Eyes firmly on the
:58:32. > :58:39.job at hand for David Moyes. Rafael has popped up at centre forward
:58:40. > :58:45.alongside Rooney. Rooney! 1-1! They are back in the game inside 20
:58:46. > :58:56.minutes. It is the talismanic figure of Wayne Rooney again who delivers
:58:57. > :59:01.for Manchester United. And it is Manchester United one, Aston Villa
:59:02. > :59:10.one. Agbonlahor was looking for a free kick. Here comes Shinji Kagawa.
:59:11. > :59:19.The timing of the movement is key. And it is a penalty. And a yellow
:59:20. > :59:27.card for the Aston Villa defender. Let's have a look again as Leandro
:59:28. > :59:32.Bacuna makes a challenge on Juan Mata as he is about to shoot. And it
:59:33. > :59:39.is a chance for Wayne Rooney to score his second goal of the match.
:59:40. > :59:44.And it is a double at Old Trafford. This week, to give Manchester United
:59:45. > :59:50.the lead, with half-time about a minute away. Wayne Rooney slams the
:59:51. > :59:56.penalty home. No chance the Brad Guzan. 2-1, Manchester United. -- no
:59:57. > :00:04.chance for Brad Guzan. Can Aston Villa get back into this
:00:05. > :00:08.one? They did enough in the first half to suggest there might be the
:00:09. > :00:17.odd opportunity in this second period. In towards Christian
:00:18. > :00:20.Benteke, that was a great chance. And Manchester United survive. That
:00:21. > :00:28.was a lucky escape. He swings at fresh air. Aston Villa have shown
:00:29. > :00:34.resilience this season in various matches. Can they do so again? Marc
:00:35. > :00:40.Albrighton quipping that one in towards Christian Benteke. So close
:00:41. > :00:44.to an equaliser, twice in the opening eight minutes of the second
:00:45. > :00:49.half, Aston Villa, close to draw level, met by the head of Christian
:00:50. > :00:55.Benteke. Just over the top of the bar. Paul Lambert, yet to secure a
:00:56. > :01:01.point against Manchester United in the Premier League.
:01:02. > :01:15.Westwood, swinging his leg. This could be a chance, Juan Mata, 3-1!
:01:16. > :01:19.And that gives Manchester United a little bit of breathing space, 12
:01:20. > :01:24.minutes into the second half, two chances at the other end early in
:01:25. > :01:30.the second period, not taken by Aston Villa, and now they have been
:01:31. > :01:38.made to pay for it. Just as they did 12 months ago, Manchester United pot
:01:39. > :01:47.three into the Aston Villa net. -- put three. Suddenly, the mood is
:01:48. > :01:50.buoyant inside Old Trafford. Wayne Rooney wanted, beautifully
:01:51. > :01:54.controlled, could be a chance with the hat-trick, could say by Brad
:01:55. > :01:58.Guzan. If that had gone in, there would be no way back. -- good save
:01:59. > :02:12.by Brad Guzan. In towards Christian Benteke. The
:02:13. > :02:19.flag stayed down again. It is just not his day. Aston Villa have had a
:02:20. > :02:30.few chances in this game. That was a lovely touch. Fabian Delph driving
:02:31. > :02:42.in. Adnan Januzaj was locked, and have a Fernandez completes the job.
:02:43. > :02:49.-- Javier Hernandez. Adnan Januzaj away from the challenge of Fabian
:02:50. > :02:51.Delph, and Hernandez scores for the first time since the Capital one Cup
:02:52. > :02:57.semifinal against Sunderland. There goes the final whistle. Just what
:02:58. > :03:05.David Moyes and Manchester United needed. The talk head of the match
:03:06. > :03:10.was about the plane but by the end it was more about Wayne. He scored
:03:11. > :03:15.twice, and Juan Mata got his first in Manchester United colours, and
:03:16. > :03:23.Hernandez finished the job at the end, and this is a happier all
:03:24. > :03:29.traffic, Manchester United watch, Aston Villa, one. A good win in the
:03:30. > :03:36.end. We played well after the opener, we got to grips with the
:03:37. > :03:39.game. We wanted to try and avoid giving opportunities to the
:03:40. > :03:44.opposition. We have been punished this season for similar chances. We
:03:45. > :03:48.had opportunities to score more than four goals. We started the game
:03:49. > :03:53.well, with a good goal, and were looking pretty good. The penalty I
:03:54. > :03:59.think was a penalty, no arguments on that. They had incredible chances to
:04:00. > :04:06.peg it back. You have got to take chances like this. We were not in a
:04:07. > :04:09.good moment, we needed the three points, we needed to show the fans
:04:10. > :04:14.what they deserve to see. And I think we did it today, after that
:04:15. > :04:19.goal, we showed character and we came back. The crowd responded very
:04:20. > :04:28.well to you when you came out ahead of the team at the start. And there
:04:29. > :04:31.was the much talked about plane. I have found that the majority of
:04:32. > :04:35.people are very supportive, and understand the job we are doing, we
:04:36. > :04:42.know that we have got a big job to do, and we are determined to put it
:04:43. > :04:45.right. Lots of speculation and debate about the position of Juan
:04:46. > :04:49.Mata since he went to Manchester United.
:04:50. > :04:54.He often has to play in that white position, and is back in that more
:04:55. > :05:04.customary number ten role. He's more comfortable up there. The
:05:05. > :05:12.linkup play, he supported Wayne Rooney. He does not touch this ball,
:05:13. > :05:19.but he plays a huge part in the goal. Watch the run from Mata, he
:05:20. > :05:24.leaves Wayne Rooney free. Good ball in from Shinji Kagawa, and what a
:05:25. > :05:29.great run from Mata. Getting beyond Rooney, making the difference, it is
:05:30. > :05:33.much easier for a fourth player when he is prepared to do that, and he
:05:34. > :05:38.draws the rash tackle, and it is a great, calm penalty. The second half
:05:39. > :05:50.again, they linked up very well. Passing and moving. He does not come
:05:51. > :05:55.this time, but persistence is key. And when he eventually scores, Van
:05:56. > :05:59.Persie and Rooney are playing, if they both are, he would not get in
:06:00. > :06:03.this position, because he might tend to hang out here, but he gets a
:06:04. > :06:08.little bit of luck as the ball falls to him, but that is a very good
:06:09. > :06:12.finish. He deserved that today. Probably his West performance for
:06:13. > :06:20.Manchester United. He looks far more comfortable in that number ten role.
:06:21. > :06:30.That is the graphic instigated by Alan Shearer about the top Premier
:06:31. > :06:41.League goal-scorers. Aston Villa had their chances. But they missed them
:06:42. > :06:45.all. Our next game pits the Saints against a sinner. Newcastle boss
:06:46. > :06:48.Alan Pardew was back in the stands for the trip to Southampton after
:06:49. > :06:50.three games of his ban for headbutting Hull's David Meyler.
:06:51. > :06:56.Your commentator at St Mary's stadium, John Roder.
:06:57. > :07:03.Jay Rodriguez looking to earn an England World Cup place for
:07:04. > :07:06.Southampton. Hatem Ben Arfa has failed to score in nine of the last
:07:07. > :07:13.13 games. Rob Elliott replaces the injured Tim Krul in goal. Andrey
:07:14. > :07:18.Wariner will be hoping for a quiet afternoon -- Andre Marriner will be
:07:19. > :07:25.hoping for a quite afternoon after his mistake in the Chelsea-Arsenal
:07:26. > :07:32.game last week. Alan Pardew starts a four -match ban today. Rodriguez
:07:33. > :07:40.away from van den Heever, Rodriguez, just wide. -- away from Yanga-Mbiwa.
:07:41. > :07:48.What a chance that would have been, early on in this match. Rodriguez,
:07:49. > :07:53.just onside, unable to get -- and able to get away from the Newcastle
:07:54. > :08:01.defender with relative ease. Adam Lallana, lovely run from him. It
:08:02. > :08:06.might drop for Rickie Lambert, who has got support from Stephen Davis
:08:07. > :08:16.and from Alan Chambers. Rodriguez with the header, just tipped away by
:08:17. > :08:27.Rob Elliott. James Ward-Prowse being told to shoot. Another chance for
:08:28. > :08:34.Jay Rodriguez. The header had Rob Elliott at full stretch. Huge
:08:35. > :08:40.concerns for Alan Pardew after his side 's start to proceedings this
:08:41. > :08:48.afternoon. They simply have to try and get Newcastle firing. In towards
:08:49. > :08:53.Lambert, and Rob Elliott was there to make another save. Rickie Lambert
:08:54. > :08:58.looking for his 11th goal of the season, and Rob Elliott just able to
:08:59. > :09:09.get a fist to it to push the ball to safety. Southampton will be hoping
:09:10. > :09:16.that they do not rue these chances. Into the middle, Rodriguez, and
:09:17. > :09:18.Elliott able to block again. Rob Elliott has made plenty of good
:09:19. > :09:23.saves this afternoon, this, the best of them. Terrific stop to deny
:09:24. > :09:32.Southampton the opener. Jay Rodriguez, foiled again. The fourth
:09:33. > :09:37.official about the show how much additional time is to be played, the
:09:38. > :09:44.flag stays down, it must be, Jay Rodriguez! Set up by Rickie
:09:45. > :09:50.Lambert. Southampton finally find a way past Rob Elliott. And that all
:09:51. > :09:55.stemmed from that throw out from the goalkeeper, Artur Boruc. Clearly
:09:56. > :10:04.both on site, the Southampton striker 's. -- onside. Rodriguez
:10:05. > :10:09.just has the top it past Rob Elliott, which he does, in style. It
:10:10. > :10:13.is a goal that has been coming for most of the match. They have utterly
:10:14. > :10:26.dominated the first half, and now, they get their reward. Taking down
:10:27. > :10:31.by Jack Cork. -- Taken down. Adam Lallana with a little ball forward.
:10:32. > :10:37.It is a chance for number two, and it is taken by Southampton. Rickie
:10:38. > :10:41.Lambert with goal number 11 of the season for him. Two in the middle to
:10:42. > :10:48.aim for, but plenty of work to be done. Clearly onside, Rickie
:10:49. > :10:56.Lambert. As the ball is played across. And a comfortable finish for
:10:57. > :11:00.the England striker. If there -- is there any way back for Newcastle?
:11:01. > :11:07.They have not threatened the goal of Artur Boruc, at all.
:11:08. > :11:21.Adam Lallana. He will go for goal. What a goal! Adam Lallana. First
:11:22. > :11:27.Rodriguez, then Rickie Lambert, then Adam Lallana, all three of them
:11:28. > :11:34.hoping to go to the World Cup in the summer, and they have all scored. Is
:11:35. > :11:40.there anything on? Suddenly, there is. Beautiful shot from Adam
:11:41. > :11:51.Lallana. Takes him into double figures for the season. And is that
:11:52. > :11:57.victory secured now for the Saints? Papiss Cisse can run to the left of
:11:58. > :12:01.Vurnon Anita. He gets away. Southampton have not kept a clean
:12:02. > :12:10.sheet in the last four Premier League matches. Artur Boruc, doing
:12:11. > :12:15.his well -- doing his best to stop that run. 72 minutes before
:12:16. > :12:21.Newcastle get their first attempt on target. Terrific ball over the top
:12:22. > :12:28.towards Jay Rodriguez, the angle is tight, nobody in support, but he
:12:29. > :12:40.does not need anybody! His second of the afternoon. And Southampton's
:12:41. > :12:46.four. -- fourth. As comprehensive victory as you're likely to see.
:12:47. > :12:50.Have been outplayed. Jay Rodriguez, timing his run to perfection. It
:12:51. > :12:53.looked like it might be a little too much. But the little cut back
:12:54. > :13:01.inside, passed Williamson and Elliott. It has been an excellent
:13:02. > :13:07.performance from Southampton, beating Newcastle 4-0. It was a
:13:08. > :13:11.fantastic performance from the team, should it have been a more
:13:12. > :13:17.comprehensive big three? Yes, you look at the amount of chances we
:13:18. > :13:19.created, it could have been a lot more, the result, we are happy for
:13:20. > :13:25.the players and we want to congratulate them. We want to give
:13:26. > :13:34.this amazing victory to the supporters. The energy of our team
:13:35. > :13:40.was very low compared to theirs. We did not really have a player that
:13:41. > :13:44.excelled above any Southampton player and in almost every area,
:13:45. > :13:48.they wanted it more. It is just not good enough for us. I have made it
:13:49. > :13:49.clear to the players that I want to see a reaction against Manchester
:13:50. > :14:03.United. We keep seeing England players and
:14:04. > :14:12.remarkable form. I will go first. It is the worst goal ever conceived. He
:14:13. > :14:23.didn't half put it on a plate for his mate, . Adam Lallana is a class
:14:24. > :14:31.player. Lovely little ball in. Good touch from Lamberts. Adam Lallana
:14:32. > :14:38.surely should be in the starting 11 for England? The question was Will
:14:39. > :14:43.he be in the England squad, now is the question who will be left out of
:14:44. > :14:48.the team for him to play. Lovely ball into Rodriguez again, who is
:14:49. > :14:54.having a great season. The three of them could go. Luke Shaw as well.
:14:55. > :15:15.They have some great players, Southampton. Not hard statistics at
:15:16. > :15:18.all. 34 goals between them, not bad. Sticking with Newcastle, Football
:15:19. > :15:21.Focus will be live from Wallsend Boy's club next Saturday, 12:10 on
:15:22. > :15:24.BBC One. There been a few greats come through there... Peter
:15:25. > :15:28.Beardsley, Steve Bruce, Michael Carrick. Stoke would be sixth in the
:15:29. > :15:32.table based on home form alone and have lost just once in 12 games at
:15:33. > :15:38.the Britannia Stadium. Hull City were the visitors today. Victory
:15:39. > :15:45.would give Steve Bruce's side their best ever Premier League points
:15:46. > :15:51.tally. Steve Wilson was watching. Yesterday Peter Crouch was credited
:15:52. > :15:55.with one of Stoke's goals by the dubious goals panel. Takes him into
:15:56. > :16:02.double figures for the season for the last time -- ninth time in ten
:16:03. > :16:18.years. Allan McGregor is still in hospital
:16:19. > :16:42.with kids the damage and cracked ribs. Hull can counter. Good save by
:16:43. > :17:04.the goalkeeper. It was a good hit by Huddleston.
:17:05. > :17:45.They could not get the shot away but it has gone behind for a corner
:17:46. > :17:55.which Hull feel is a bad decision. Taken by Stephen Ireland. David
:17:56. > :18:04.Miler goes down but the play goes on. That is a good try and well
:18:05. > :18:12.taken by Harper. Came onto his left foot and hit it well. That was
:18:13. > :18:25.Stoke's first shot on target in the game.
:18:26. > :18:47.Great save will stop tremendous save. There is a huge deflection. As
:18:48. > :19:09.mere bag a bitch. Jelly could not react good enough. He scores. The
:19:10. > :19:26.deadlock is broken. Huge delight around the Britannia Stadium. Steve
:19:27. > :19:29.Roos will be furious. Given no way. It is a sloppy goal from Hull's
:19:30. > :19:52.point of view. Stephen Ireland! Great save by
:19:53. > :19:56.Harper. Stephen Ireland is complaining the pass was not what he
:19:57. > :19:59.was looking for. He was right, he had to wait for it. He could not
:20:00. > :20:23.stride onto this from the Austrian. Tried to find a substitute. He could
:20:24. > :20:29.have played it in a lot earlier. Had a couple of opportunities to do so.
:20:30. > :20:34.When he decided he could not score himself the opportunity to lay in
:20:35. > :20:45.the measured ball had gone. We have gifted Stoke the victory. I could
:20:46. > :20:50.not see them breaking us down. As we know at that level, it changes
:20:51. > :20:55.things dramatically. Unfortunately it was a frustrating day. Another
:20:56. > :21:00.win. Three games in a row. I think it is for games in five we have one.
:21:01. > :21:09.At Premier League level, it is good work. We knew it would be a
:21:10. > :21:14.difficult game and it shows how much character we have. We have been
:21:15. > :21:18.drained emotionally, winning is going to be hard but I am pleased
:21:19. > :21:26.with the three points. That Young man has found a bit of form like
:21:27. > :21:32.this or at worst wrong? In the last three games. Very good goal. Starts
:21:33. > :21:39.from deep with Stephen Ireland. Fantastic finish with the right
:21:40. > :21:46.boot. Great desire to get there. This one last week against Aston
:21:47. > :21:54.Villa. Picks the ball up of Peter Crouch. Reads it well. And then the
:21:55. > :22:01.mistake today of Al-Muhammadi. Runs at them, is direct. His record is
:22:02. > :22:13.not bad, 34 goals in 86 Premier League starts. They did not play as
:22:14. > :22:17.well today as when they had a bad run before Christmas. Once you start
:22:18. > :22:25.playing well, the results come for you. Hull need one more win and I
:22:26. > :22:33.think there will be safe. Earlier we asked you who you thought would win
:22:34. > :22:46.the title this year. Let's see what you've come up with. 57% on
:22:47. > :22:48.Liverpool. Still 9% of Arsenal fans still think they can do it. Let's
:22:49. > :23:18.look at the actual table. The morning papers are reporting Sir
:23:19. > :23:19.Alex Ferguson will have say in deciding the future of David Moyes,
:23:20. > :23:36.the man he chose as his successor. The Sunday express lead on the
:23:37. > :23:50.assertion that Mourinho thinks his team are out of the title race. So
:23:51. > :23:55.who do we finish tonight with? Tony? OK Palace it is!
