:00:49. > :01:07.Good evening. We are on late. So late I've groan a bit of stubble.
:01:08. > :01:08.Football's land of hope and glory returns.
:01:09. > :01:11.Eight Barclays Premier League games on the way with last
:01:12. > :01:38.With the transfer window shut, we're stuck with Alan Shearer and Danny
:01:39. > :01:44.We begin at Stamford Bridge where leaders Chelsea took on Swansea,
:01:45. > :01:46.the only other team in the league with maximum points
:01:47. > :01:55.Something had to give, John Motson was watching.
:01:56. > :02:01.Gary Monk who took over in February and guided Swansea to 12th in the
:02:02. > :02:05.Premier League is the Barclays Manager of the Month the player of
:02:06. > :02:10.the month is Chelsea's Diego Costa with four goals in three games. He
:02:11. > :02:12.starts despite treatment on a hamstring injury. Loic Remy is on
:02:13. > :02:26.the bench to make his debut. It's Swansea's best start since
:02:27. > :02:27.1923. They start without Bony who only arrived back from international
:02:28. > :02:39.duty. A minute's applause for the former
:02:40. > :02:44.Chelsea life president, Richard Attenborough.
:02:45. > :03:01.COMMENTATOR: That ran on to Routledge, who has been in good form
:03:02. > :03:06.recently, scored a cracker in the last game. That could have been
:03:07. > :03:16.another spectacular goal for Wayne Routledge. This is Shelvey again. He
:03:17. > :03:19.does carry the ball well. He nearly carried it all the way through. Here
:03:20. > :03:36.is Matic for Chelsea. Good play by Ki. Gomis is trying to
:03:37. > :03:39.stay on side here. It means he has Taylor free. I think it's going to
:03:40. > :03:44.be an own-goal, I think. It's John Terry. Swansea have taken the lead.
:03:45. > :03:49.The Chelsea captain couldn't divert the cross anywhere but into his own
:03:50. > :03:53.net. Curses under his breath, but Ki is the man who really made this
:03:54. > :03:56.possible. Gomis there didn't get involved. Therefore, he couldn't be
:03:57. > :04:07.flagged offside it. Comes off John Terry. It makes it Chelsea 0,
:04:08. > :04:13.Swansea City 1. Not a lot Courtois could have done about that.
:04:14. > :04:24.A driven cross, right onto the toe cap of Nathan Dyer who is coming
:04:25. > :04:32.inside Azpilicueta. Knocks it on to Routledge! Well, what an opening 20
:04:33. > :04:37.minutes here by Swansea City. Curler that from Routledge, with Courtois
:04:38. > :04:41.scrambling across his goal. Well, Chelsea need a bit of support at the
:04:42. > :04:48.moment, but Hazard is threatening to go through. He's brought down in a
:04:49. > :04:56.very central position there. Hazard was... Well, yes he definitely
:04:57. > :05:00.checked him. There was contact. Amat was cautioned. It's a central
:05:01. > :05:05.position for Chelsea. Fabregas into the wall. Now then, Costa had a
:05:06. > :05:08.little set to on the far side of the penalty area. I think it's
:05:09. > :05:16.Sigurdarson who is down. Costa, well... Look at that! There was a
:05:17. > :05:23.mope at the end of the game last season when Jose Mourinho didn't
:05:24. > :05:27.shake hands with Garry Monk. As we enter the last-minute of the 45,
:05:28. > :05:33.this is Hazard. He has got help here. Ivanovic went to the centre of
:05:34. > :05:46.the goal. A corner to Chelsea, in the last-minute of the first half.
:05:47. > :05:53.Oh, Costa's there! They've equalised. Diego Costa, goodness me,
:05:54. > :05:57.that's five already, in three-and-a-half games.
:05:58. > :06:01.Straight-forward corner, really. Swansea won't be very happy about
:06:02. > :06:09.this. He bullied his way into a position on the six-yard line. And
:06:10. > :06:16.headed it down past Fabianski. It's Chelsea 1, Swansea City 1. Diego
:06:17. > :06:23.Costa has justified the decision of Mourinho to play him.
:06:24. > :06:34.Oh, now then, Hazard really opened it up for Costa there. Thiis Oscar.
:06:35. > :06:49.Goalkeeper game. Hazard kept his feet. Chelsea threatening. Ramires,
:06:50. > :06:58.Costa. And still. Azpilicueta has gone up on the far side now. This is
:06:59. > :07:04.Fabregas. Costa! And he's done it again, Diego Costa. Stamford Bridge
:07:05. > :07:14.rising to a new hero. Six, in less than four games. The owner's
:07:15. > :07:18.pleased. Diego Costa capitalising on good approach again by Cesc
:07:19. > :07:28.Fabregas. Three Chelsea players were on that side. He just tucks that
:07:29. > :07:32.away, with the style of an predator. Fabregas, so aware of where Costa
:07:33. > :07:38.was. But how easy he made that finish look. Now, Swansea have a
:07:39. > :07:45.completely different test to pass, they are coming from behind.
:07:46. > :07:49.Ramires. This is Hazard. He likes to be in this position. He likes it
:07:50. > :07:56.very much. Good save by Fabianski. Ivanovic. Ramires.
:07:57. > :08:03.Swansea player down in the penalty area.
:08:04. > :08:11.I don't know whether... No, they are not going to stop the game. Gomis is
:08:12. > :08:16.onside. A chance of an equaliser. It's not going to go in. Well, that
:08:17. > :08:20.was a chance-and-a-half, wasn't it? Gomis, who has had an excellent
:08:21. > :08:31.game, has let Courtois and Chelsea off there. Matic, he is going to
:08:32. > :08:37.find Ivanovic this time. Tucked in to Oscar. Matic again, a little
:08:38. > :08:38.flick. Here is Costa, once more. He might get the return here from
:08:39. > :08:54.Ramires. Hazard, back to Ramires. Costa! Is
:08:55. > :09:01.he offside? No, it's the hat-trick. It's three for Diego Costa. This guy
:09:02. > :09:05.just gets goals out of nowhere. It was a good build-up by Chelsea, in
:09:06. > :09:09.fairness, look at that. He is just obviously playing on the edge of the
:09:10. > :09:14.defence. No flag here from the assistant referee. Diego Costa has
:09:15. > :09:20.scored a hat-trick in 67 minutes, in a game for which he was allegedly
:09:21. > :09:25.doubtful. That is seven goals, and we haven't got to four games yet.
:09:26. > :09:30.Those people who put them in their fantasy league team must be well
:09:31. > :09:36.pleased. So the Player of the Month lives up to his billing. The Manager
:09:37. > :09:42.of the Month looks a bit down cast. This is Hazard. To his left is Remy.
:09:43. > :09:46.Hazard will go himself, is he? He is. Eden Hazard, still with it. And
:09:47. > :09:55.still. Flicks it back to Oscar. This is
:09:56. > :10:01.Remy. Oh, goodness me, now he's started! Remy, with his first goal
:10:02. > :10:07.for Chelsea, only a few minutes after coming on. Well, he is another
:10:08. > :10:12.natural finisher. 14 league goals for Newcastle last season. And now,
:10:13. > :10:20.on his debut, he opens his Chelsea account. Remy took that in the same
:10:21. > :10:34.style as Costa took his. Chelsea 4, Swansea 1.
:10:35. > :10:45.That is a lovely ball, played through for Shelvey. Who scores!
:10:46. > :10:48.Good ball by Bony. Shelvey puts some respectability back into the
:10:49. > :10:52.scoreline. Bony picked him out. Chelsea were wide open at the back
:10:53. > :11:05.there. Good finish by Shelvey. Chelsea 4, Swansea 2 now. That comes
:11:06. > :11:10.with four minutes to go. Swansea... Jose Mourinho is holding the ball.
:11:11. > :11:15.They are trying to get it off him. The referee, Kevin Friend, had to
:11:16. > :11:19.come across. A bit of a scuffle down there with the ball. There is always
:11:20. > :11:24.a bit going on when Jose Mourinho is around. In the second-half we played
:11:25. > :11:29.very well. I have to say that it was a game until the end because our
:11:30. > :11:37.opponent showed today the reason why they come here as leaders. We never
:11:38. > :11:41.came here to lie down and accept anything. You have to remember who
:11:42. > :11:47.you are playing against. What we are doing. I think sometimes you can get
:11:48. > :11:50.a bit of a dose of realism at times. The boys were magnificent in terms
:11:51. > :11:54.of attitude and commitment. We should have come in as a lead at
:11:55. > :12:00.half-time and reassess and maybe the second-half could have been
:12:01. > :12:04.different. "If's" aren't part of the What is it game. Like playing with
:12:05. > :12:10.Diego Costa? He works very hard on the pitch. Not only offensive, also
:12:11. > :12:15.defensive. He helps us a lot. We did well in finding him first of all and
:12:16. > :12:20.deciding the type of player we need. After that, identified the faces
:12:21. > :12:24.and, finally, buy the faces. So I think everybody did well in the club
:12:25. > :12:27.and we're happy with what we did. You make it sound quite
:12:28. > :12:33.straight-forward? Yeah. Looks simple, but it's not so simple. Get
:12:34. > :12:37.the right faces. Here appears one of them, Diego Costa, well, he holds
:12:38. > :12:40.the record now, the first player to score seven goals in their first
:12:41. > :12:45.four Premier League games. Quite an achievement. He made a staggering
:12:46. > :12:50.difference, hassens he? When you consider it took Torres 43 games to
:12:51. > :12:53.get seven goals, he definitely makes a difference. What Chelsea had last
:12:54. > :12:59.season, what they have this season, is a guy that, when they are playing
:13:00. > :13:02.poorly, they have a guy who can score goals and pull them through.
:13:03. > :13:06.He did that today. They didn't play well in the first half, Chelsea.
:13:07. > :13:09.Swansea were the better team. They deserved their lead. Just before
:13:10. > :13:13.half-time they had a corner. Out of nothing he scored the goal. That
:13:14. > :13:19.made the difference. That is what this guy does. He's always
:13:20. > :13:25.available. As I show here. He wants the ball. He wants it played into
:13:26. > :13:29.him. When he doesn't, he has a moan. This is early on in the game. Good
:13:30. > :13:34.touch. Trying to get his shot away. If you want to push him around and
:13:35. > :13:38.bully him he will do the same to you. He doesn't mind a fight or
:13:39. > :13:43.scrap. He will give as good as he gets. Just before half-time, not a
:13:44. > :13:47.lot of move am. He gets the flight of the ball. He is stronger than
:13:48. > :13:50.anyone else in the box. He has built up a great relationship with
:13:51. > :13:54.Fabregas already. They know each other's game. Not a lot of movement.
:13:55. > :13:58.Pulls back there. Thank you very much, very, very good finish. Scores
:13:59. > :14:03.proper goals? Absolutely, just inside that box. You just watch him
:14:04. > :14:08.here. He anticipates this shot. Better than any defender does. It's
:14:09. > :14:13.another tap-in for him. He can assist also. He can do pretty much
:14:14. > :14:18.everything, I think. Touch with the left foot. Weighted pass with the
:14:19. > :14:22.right foot. Into Hazard. Enjoying his time. He made a great start. He
:14:23. > :14:27.has value-for-money. He is happy much they are happy. Without a doubt
:14:28. > :14:31.he is happy. He will have a bagful much of goals this season if he
:14:32. > :14:37.stays fit. That team will create chances for him and he will score
:14:38. > :14:40.them. Two terrific signings? If I was Diego Costa I would be excited
:14:41. > :14:44.playing with Fabregas. You know you will get fed. Calm, intelligent,
:14:45. > :14:48.makes the right choice all the time with his passing. When Chelsea lost
:14:49. > :14:52.Frank Lampard, even though Fabregas is different, what he lacks in goals
:14:53. > :14:56.he makes up for in assists. Those two together are as good a
:14:57. > :15:01.partnership I have seen in a long time. Swansea, they contributed to
:15:02. > :15:07.what was a terrific game? A fabulous start to the season. And for 44
:15:08. > :15:11.minutes today they were much the better team. They were controlling
:15:12. > :15:14.the game, passing it with ease. They caused Chelsea problems. They will
:15:15. > :15:28.take confident from that. Danny Welbeck made his first start
:15:29. > :15:36.for Arsenal today against Manchester City. Commentary by Steve Wilson. I
:15:37. > :15:40.wonder if you could buy Danny Welbeck for 16 million now with
:15:41. > :15:50.those two goals for England under his belt. It seems unlikely. He
:15:51. > :15:54.makes his debut for Arsenal against Manchester City, who are hoping to
:15:55. > :16:02.avoid successive league defeats for the first time in four years.
:16:03. > :16:07.Welbeck and Jack Wilshere are the only changes to the Arsenal starting
:16:08. > :16:17.XI. David Sabina makes the bench for the first time. -- Sabina. Six
:16:18. > :16:25.changes to the Manchester City side that lost at Stoke City. Yaya Toure
:16:26. > :16:36.is out after coming back late from international duty.
:16:37. > :17:04.Joe Hart came and got there. There was no flag. This was nicely worked.
:17:05. > :17:07.Joe Hart did well. Arsene Wenger feeling sufficiently warmed by
:17:08. > :17:19.Arsenal's start to take his jacket off.
:17:20. > :17:30.Welbeck...! Great finish! It has hit the post! Almost a magnificent
:17:31. > :17:35.finish. I thought it was in. I do not think I was the only one. It was
:17:36. > :17:41.a brilliant attempt. Completely beat Joe Hart. He got very lucky to the
:17:42. > :18:07.rebound back into his gloves. Navas Rossetti. I go where I! 1-0!
:18:08. > :18:13.What a wonderful counterattacking goal by Manchester City. -- Agu
:18:14. > :18:22.Aero. -- Sergio Aguero. Wonderful goal. The spin here helped Jesus
:18:23. > :18:27.Navas, who is quick anyway. He had the wherewithal to look up. A
:18:28. > :18:35.beautiful ball into Sergio Aguero. He got in front of Mathieu Flamini
:18:36. > :18:39.and finished perfectly. A devastating counterattack. And
:18:40. > :18:46.Manchester City lead. You might argue it is marginally against the
:18:47. > :18:47.run of play. And Manchester City has shone their power on the
:18:48. > :19:13.counterattack. David Silva! Important saved by
:19:14. > :19:14.Chesney. -- Wojciech Szczesny. Arsenal indebted to the goalkeeper
:19:15. > :19:32.for a really good stop. Good pressure from Arsenal. Good
:19:33. > :20:05.defending by Manchester City. Arsenal nearly back in the game.
:20:06. > :20:08.City looking for offside. It must have been perilously close. But not
:20:09. > :20:19.given. Really good recovery from Zabaleta.
:20:20. > :20:35.Jack Wilshere! Brilliantly done! Brilliantly done by Jack Wilshere!
:20:36. > :20:44.That is a high-quality goal. It was a scrappy midfield. And then it was
:20:45. > :20:58.quality. He beat Joe Hart at his near post. He left Gael Clichy. He
:20:59. > :21:01.did Joe Hart with his eyes. Joe Hart expecting a left foot finish across
:21:02. > :21:04.the keeper. Instead it was talked into the near post. It is 1-1. Jack
:21:05. > :21:31.Wilshere. Sanchez! Arsenal lead by 2-1. Alexis
:21:32. > :21:43.Sanchez! The game has been turned on its head. First Jack Wilshere, now
:21:44. > :21:46.Sanchez. 2-1 to Arsenal. Alexis Sanchez scores for Arsenal. He gets
:21:47. > :21:56.a yellow card for taking his shirt off. Clearly onside. Tremendous
:21:57. > :21:59.finish. His third goal already for his Arsenal career. Look at that,
:22:00. > :22:13.side foot into the top corner of the net. That is a finish and a half.
:22:14. > :22:14.Strugglers last season against their big rivals. 2-1 against Manchester
:22:15. > :22:31.City. Navas said the ball hit Jack
:22:32. > :22:46.Wilshere's hand. Jack Wilshere launches an Arsenal counterattack.
:22:47. > :22:49.Ramsey could not quite finished. The last few minutes have been something
:22:50. > :22:55.of a masterclass from Jack Wilshere. Lovely ball here. Just needed the
:22:56. > :23:02.finish from Ramsay. Didn't get it. Was this handball? Not only was a
:23:03. > :23:05.penalty not given, Arsenal almost broke down the other end and scored.
:23:06. > :23:14.Can the champions get back into this?
:23:15. > :23:22.An important touch from Calum Chambers. In Manchester City
:23:23. > :23:30.corner. Seven minutes of normal time to play. A big seven minutes.
:23:31. > :23:38.Kolarov with the corner. Demichelis! It was a brilliant header! The
:23:39. > :23:45.equaliser for Manchester City. Arsenal will be so disappointed.
:23:46. > :23:51.They have conceded from a corner. It was brilliantly placed. Wojciech
:23:52. > :23:56.Szczesny, though he got his hand to it, could not keep it out. It was
:23:57. > :24:03.almost a magnificent save. It is 2-2. The game is there to be won by
:24:04. > :24:21.either side. Off the post! Alexander Kolorov
:24:22. > :24:27.almost won it. Two and a half minutes remaining. Alexander Kolorov
:24:28. > :24:37.smacks the Arsenal post. It has been a nailbiter from start to finish.
:24:38. > :24:44.Edin Dzeko... It has come off the post and into the hands of which a
:24:45. > :24:55.Chesney. -- Wojciech Szczesny. Manchester City have hit the post in
:24:56. > :25:03.the last eight minutes. They chant! The flag is up. Samir Nasri thought
:25:04. > :25:09.he had scored the winner against his old club. Edin Dzeko certainly was
:25:10. > :25:15.onside. That makes it a very big save by Wojciech Szczesny. Nasri was
:25:16. > :25:28.not onside. Both sides have to settle for a point.
:25:29. > :25:30.It has finished 2-2. In the first 80 minutes we have shown top quality
:25:31. > :25:36.and great mental strength to come back from 1-0 down and be leading
:25:37. > :25:41.2-1. But at the end it is a result that is frustrating because we were
:25:42. > :25:46.2-1. But I am very happy with the quality of the performance. I get a
:25:47. > :25:49.lot of stick from the lads about my right foot. But every time I seem to
:25:50. > :25:55.score goals with my right foot. I want to score a few more goals this
:25:56. > :25:59.season. That is hopefully many. Ultimately you look at the mentality
:26:00. > :26:05.of the team and it shows you have a team that is ready to go again and
:26:06. > :26:18.that will not give up. The two goals that Arsenal score or not legal.
:26:19. > :26:23.Welbeck pushed Vincent Kompany. And finally, there was a clear penalty.
:26:24. > :26:32.Too many things. He said penalty. Jack Wilshere says? No penalty. Like
:26:33. > :26:38.the referee says. On a normal day we deserved to win this game clearly.
:26:39. > :26:43.Whatever you think in terms of the decisions, it was a cracking game of
:26:44. > :26:47.football. Some to restrict goals. You want to pick out on something
:26:48. > :26:50.slightly negative on the defensive side of Arsenal. It must be
:26:51. > :26:57.something to do with sitting in that chair! One of Arsenal's strength is
:26:58. > :27:02.going forward, particularly the way they commit their full-backs. It is
:27:03. > :27:06.also one of their weaknesses. They leave themselves wide open at the
:27:07. > :27:15.back in doing so. They got caught a few times last season. This was at
:27:16. > :27:20.Anfield early on last season. They get caught on the counterattack.
:27:21. > :27:27.Liverpool did it very well. It leaves space. Left side and right
:27:28. > :27:32.side. The holding midfielder that day was Mikael Arteta. Not doing a
:27:33. > :27:36.very good job. Lose the ball halfway line and it is a goal. This is
:27:37. > :27:41.today. They want to push their full-backs forward. It happened
:27:42. > :27:50.twice. Manchester City brake on them. Debuchy trying to get back.
:27:51. > :27:55.With the space of Navas, they leave the space. -- with the pace of
:27:56. > :27:58.Navas. They get away with it on this occasion. They didn't learn their
:27:59. > :28:05.lesson. Exactly the same thing. This is a different one. It is not a
:28:06. > :28:09.repeat. Look what happens. Leave the space, right-hand side, left-hand
:28:10. > :28:13.side, this time it is for the mini. He is sitting in front of the back
:28:14. > :28:19.four to give some protection. He did not do a very good job. He can see
:28:20. > :28:22.Sergio Aguero coming in. The ball across this time and it is a good
:28:23. > :28:27.finish and they get finished. And set piece again. It happened against
:28:28. > :28:32.Crystal Palace and it happened again today. Three good headers of the
:28:33. > :28:36.ball there. Not one Arsenal player goes to attack the ball. Good ball
:28:37. > :28:40.in, good header. That will cost Arsenal points.
:28:41. > :28:44.As it has done. Credit to Manchester City Frakes blighting those
:28:45. > :28:51.weaknesses. Navas does not start many games but I am sure he started
:28:52. > :28:57.today to counter that. To the positive side of that game. Sanchez
:28:58. > :28:59.was terrific. He was absolutely fantastic. There were some standout
:29:00. > :29:06.performance today but he was the best of them. He was toying with
:29:07. > :29:09.confidence. A great bit of skill. All throughout the game he kept
:29:10. > :29:14.popping up in different positions. His work ethic... I saw him playing
:29:15. > :29:20.for Spain against Chile for the first time and he did not stop. This
:29:21. > :29:25.is him attacking people, being positive. It does not quite work for
:29:26. > :29:30.him this time. He was a thorn in city's side all afternoon. That was
:29:31. > :29:35.a clever pass. He doesn't admire it. Everything good that Arsenal did he
:29:36. > :29:41.was involved in. I love this. This was against Vincent Kompany. He is
:29:42. > :29:48.not scared. It takes two of them to stop him. With the quality he has
:29:49. > :29:54.got, can he produce? What a finish. No free kick.
:29:55. > :30:02.I think he has been on your gym routine. He needs to work out more.
:30:03. > :30:07.Crikey! This is after he scored the goal. He is chasing back. His team
:30:08. > :30:14.need him. He is not thinking - I've done my bit. He switches on. Back in
:30:15. > :30:22.his own half. I think he was just about the best. The other guy,
:30:23. > :30:28.Kompany, for Man City. His positional play is excellent. Jack
:30:29. > :30:34.Wilshere has come into a rich vain of form, great to see. He doesn't
:30:35. > :30:38.just like sitting in that holding role he played for England. I feel
:30:39. > :30:42.sorry for him. He has been criticised this week. Today he was
:30:43. > :30:49.back to his best. He looked fit and sharp. He got his reward with a
:30:50. > :30:53.brilliant finish. One-twos. Following his pass. Making things
:30:54. > :30:57.happen. This is on his right foot. He deserved it. At a time in a game
:30:58. > :31:01.when they needed people to stand up, when they were losing, he did. He
:31:02. > :31:05.demanded the ball and made things happen am he got lucky. Absolutely.
:31:06. > :31:11.The referee can't give that. You condition see it. You can't be 100%.
:31:12. > :31:17.The assistant can give it he should give it. He got away with it. It was
:31:18. > :31:20.handball. The City players appeal straightaway there. Better angle.
:31:21. > :31:26.You can see it clearly hits his arm. There. He got a little bit of luck.
:31:27. > :31:32.His performance today was excellent. It really was. Should have given a
:31:33. > :31:36.penalty there, no doubt about that. Maybe Navas was blocking the
:31:37. > :31:39.lineman's view - sorry, assistant referee. Linesman, old money. It's
:31:40. > :31:45.late! To Anfield next where last season's
:31:46. > :31:47.runners-up Liverpool faced Aston Villa, who began the day
:31:48. > :31:56.as one of only four unbeaten sides Balotelli steps on to the Anfield
:31:57. > :32:10.centre stage for the first time as a Liverpool player. Lallana his club
:32:11. > :32:24.debut. Sterling is rested to the bench. Watching from the wings, Roy
:32:25. > :32:34.Keane. Cleverley comes straight in. Baker replaces the injured Vlaar.
:32:35. > :32:44.COMMENTATOR: Lovren, a good season with Southampton last year.
:32:45. > :32:53.Coutinho, called up by Brazil during the week. Balotelli, he was in
:32:54. > :32:59.there. Markovic took the header. Balotelli cruised in there with a
:33:00. > :33:08.shark. Balotelli rose for it. Would that have been the better option?
:33:09. > :33:13.Move am in there from Coutinho. Playing for Brazil against Columbia
:33:14. > :33:19.in the 1-0 win, earlier this week. Here is Agbonlahor. That's a corner
:33:20. > :33:24.kick. I think it did come back on to Agbonlahor's foot. He was behind the
:33:25. > :33:30.dead ball line when it did. If we have another look. A tussle between
:33:31. > :33:35.the two. Hutton is in there, send Seine, Baker up from the back. Cisse
:33:36. > :33:41.is in there as well. Headed goalwards. Into the back of the net!
:33:42. > :33:45.Aston Villa have the lead. Gabriel Agbonlahor takes the plaudits. Just
:33:46. > :33:47.signed a new four-year deal. That is the way to celebrate it. No
:33:48. > :33:54.authority about the Liverpool defence at all. No-one came to
:33:55. > :34:00.claim. Senderos causing problems. It fell for him. He hooked it on. There
:34:01. > :34:06.was no pace in the shot. It crept in. Persistence pays off for Aston
:34:07. > :34:15.Villa's longest-serving player. It's a bad goal to concede for Liverpool.
:34:16. > :34:24.Aston Villa, again, doing what they do at Anfield, silences the cop. --
:34:25. > :34:34.silencing the Kop. Headed away by Sako. Westwood, a great 12 months
:34:35. > :34:39.for Aston Villa. A strong challenge there by Lallana. He will get a
:34:40. > :34:44.yellow card. He caught Tom Cleverley. Lallana very much part of
:34:45. > :34:48.England's plans. Cleverley hopes to get back into those plans. He was
:34:49. > :34:51.lucky to escape a nasty injury there.
:34:52. > :34:58.Westwood with the free-kick. In towards an unmarked Senderos. The
:34:59. > :35:03.Liverpool defence simply hasn't woken up. Again, he just peeled into
:35:04. > :35:09.space. He has been doing that from the first minute, every time he went
:35:10. > :35:14.forward for a set-piece. No-one is picking up Senderos much he knows
:35:15. > :35:20.that might come back to bite him in the backside. Lovren. Aston Villa,
:35:21. > :35:26.at the moment, enjoying the lion's share of possession. Mind you,
:35:27. > :35:29.Liverpool slaughtered Tottenham 3-0 in their last game with less than
:35:30. > :35:43.40% possession. Cisse. They have enjoyed their
:35:44. > :35:46.recent trips to Merseyside. Magical mystery tour for them, every time.
:35:47. > :35:52.To the near-post. Senderos went to the far. Comes out to Weimann.
:35:53. > :35:57.Headed away by Liverpool's captain. Aston Villa could have been 3-0 up.
:35:58. > :36:04.Liverpool simply can't deal with the set-pieces. The keeper punched it,
:36:05. > :36:08.not a great distance. Sterling, rested to the bench, will get a
:36:09. > :36:11.warm-up. Brendan Rodgers saying this week he wants to protect him.
:36:12. > :36:17.Doesn't want him to burn out too early. Just under three minutes left
:36:18. > :36:21.in the first half, plus stoppage-time. Lovren. Balotelli,
:36:22. > :36:28.good strength. Lallana. Oh, good effort. Not far wide. That's where
:36:29. > :36:32.Liverpool need Balotelli, right in there to spearhead the attack. Set
:36:33. > :36:38.it up for the team-mate. Brought Lallana in to play very well. Really
:36:39. > :36:42.wasn't far away. Too clean sheets in their first three games for Aston
:36:43. > :36:46.Villa, for only the second time in the top-flight in 82 years.
:36:47. > :36:51.Balotelli is there. He does drop deep. They need someone to go beyond
:36:52. > :36:56.him and take up the spearheading duties. Lallana did that. Markovic,
:36:57. > :37:02.lovely ball to him. Back it goes again. Coutinho, deflected away off
:37:03. > :37:07.Cleverley. A corner ball for Liverpool. Two minutes gone in the
:37:08. > :37:11.second-half. Sakho is up from the back, shoulder to shoulder with
:37:12. > :37:17.Lovren. Henderson is in there, so too Balotelli. In towards him. He
:37:18. > :37:22.got his head to. It. He was coming away from goal. Coming down from the
:37:23. > :37:24.apex of his jump. Difficult to get any power behind the header. Never
:37:25. > :37:40.been beaten as a manager at Anfield. Coutinho rolling in. Did well, did
:37:41. > :37:44.very well! Sterling, hit his own player, Henderson. When things like
:37:45. > :37:49.that happen, you begin to sense it's not your day. Really clever play
:37:50. > :37:53.here, one way, then another. That's the closest Liverpool have come. I
:37:54. > :37:58.thought the first half, the chances we had I thought with Senderos's
:37:59. > :38:04.header, and Weimann, we could have been three up. If you don't get that
:38:05. > :38:09.second goal. Defensively I thought we were outstanding. Tactically, a
:38:10. > :38:12.great game. We caused them a problem. Everyone has been going on
:38:13. > :38:18.about our schedule. We know it will be tough. I think if we go into each
:38:19. > :38:22.game with tactics we can get points against anyone. We have showed that
:38:23. > :38:28.today. I think the last few seasons at Anfield we have done quite well.
:38:29. > :38:32.COMMENTATOR: Daniel Sturridge is only watch on. Daniel is an
:38:33. > :38:37.important player for us. When you do all your work as a football club,
:38:38. > :38:41.you work with the Association, their staff come in, you speak with them
:38:42. > :38:45.for three-and-a-half hours how your players recover. Then they go away,
:38:46. > :38:50.they don't recover as you have been spoken with. So, as I said, it's
:38:51. > :38:54.done. We have to move on. We had enough... We had enough of the ball
:38:55. > :38:59.today, didn't quite find the quality. As I said, the players here
:39:00. > :39:04.are first-class. They gave everything in the game we couldn't
:39:05. > :39:09.score. Clearly not happy about Sturridge's injury. Sterling, he
:39:10. > :39:13.left out as well. There wasn't quite the zip. Villa's set up and gameplan
:39:14. > :39:17.worked perfectly It did. the zip. Villa's set up and gameplan
:39:18. > :39:22.worked perfectly It did. Villa were well disciplined. The first five
:39:23. > :39:24.minutes they started with a diamond. They sat Richardson on Gerrard. I
:39:25. > :39:29.think they thought Liverpool would play a diamond as they have done in
:39:30. > :39:35.the first few games. We see the clips here. Three behind, Delph,
:39:36. > :39:39.Westwood and Cleverley. They changed, Liverpool didn't play the
:39:40. > :39:42.die manned. They went five across. Richardson to the left, Weimann to
:39:43. > :39:45.the left. They worked tirelessly together. The gaps were small.
:39:46. > :39:49.Liverpool trying to play in the holes, as they do. Creative players
:39:50. > :39:53.on the pitch. They couldn't get enough ball. They rarely troubled
:39:54. > :39:57.Aston Villa. Baker covering the runs, immense all afternoon. Every
:39:58. > :40:00.one of them remained well disciplined in their jobs. Liverpool
:40:01. > :40:05.trying to play through the gaps. Look how many players for Aston
:40:06. > :40:09.Villa are in the box. They can't get through. They invite them to go
:40:10. > :40:13.wide. Liverpool didn't want to do that. Senderos had a good game.
:40:14. > :40:16.Villa deserved it. Liverpool had one shot on target. When you think of
:40:17. > :40:20.how they played at Anfield for the best part of a year now, that is as
:40:21. > :40:25.bad as I have seen. Credit to Aston Villa on that front. They roughed up
:40:26. > :40:29.Mr Balotelli a bit, didn't they? It's become back to the Premier
:40:30. > :40:35.League, isn't it? The hope he might have a kickout. Senderos is marking
:40:36. > :40:39.him tight. Pushing, that is all right. Kick out at him. Looking for
:40:40. > :40:44.reaction from Balotelli. That is a bigger kick out. He should have been
:40:45. > :40:49.punished for that one. Senderos got him twice. Hutton had his go as
:40:50. > :40:53.well. Teams will try and wind him up because they know what he is like.
:40:54. > :40:56.He kept his head though? Yeah. What did you think about leaving Sterling
:40:57. > :41:00.out? He said he has to manage him well. He is still a teenager? I
:41:01. > :41:05.understand he has to manage him well. The game against England was
:41:06. > :41:09.last Monday he had enough time to recover. He is their best player
:41:10. > :41:16.this season. They missed him today. Brilliant start for Villa. They have
:41:17. > :41:20.been tremendous. We thought they might struggle am they are
:41:21. > :41:24.well-organised, good signings. Three clean sheets in four games. Last
:41:25. > :41:27.year defensively they were terrible. Huge improvement. Something maybe
:41:28. > :41:33.with Roy Keane going in there as well. Could well be.
:41:34. > :41:36.Ronald Koeman enjoyed his first victory as Southampton manager
:41:37. > :41:39.Today, the Saints faced Newcastle who've won just once
:41:40. > :41:43.in their last 14 visits to the South coast, a round trip of 660 miles.
:41:44. > :42:06.Another new face for the Southampton fans to welcome, he won the Spanish
:42:07. > :42:10.title last season. He comes in for the injured deyong today.
:42:11. > :42:24.Of the stripes on the South Coast. Southampton in red and white,
:42:25. > :42:41.Newcastle, black-and-white. Coloccini under pressure from Shane
:42:42. > :42:45.Long. Long nearly scores. Yet to register in a Southampton shirt,
:42:46. > :42:53.Shane Long, after his summer move from Hull. Very nearly embarrassing
:42:54. > :42:59.Tim Krul here. What shocking start that would have been for Alan Pardew
:43:00. > :43:06.as pressure mounts on his position at the club. Did he get the ball or
:43:07. > :43:12.the head of Long. You don't need me to tell you what the Southampton
:43:13. > :43:15.fans think of that incident. The man in the middle's decision counts. He
:43:16. > :43:20.is aware that the goalkeeper is coming. I'm not sure Krul got
:43:21. > :43:21.anything of the ball there. Tim Krul got away with two incidents against
:43:22. > :43:32.Shane Long. Tadic lovely ball. Lovely run from
:43:33. > :43:48.Bertrand. It is a goal. It has been coming. Pelle. His third in the red
:43:49. > :43:56.and white stripes. The purchase looking a smart bit of business.
:43:57. > :44:02.Neat approach work from Southampton. The run from Bertrand, what about
:44:03. > :44:12.that defending from Newcastle? How quickly he has settled into the
:44:13. > :44:20.English game. Nodded away by Klein. Davis feeding Long.
:44:21. > :44:30.Williamson careless, Pelle. Flag stays down. Pell! 2-0. Newcastle's
:44:31. > :44:37.defence has looked shakey since the off. There is little sign it's going
:44:38. > :44:41.to improve. To be brutally honest, they made a bit of a meal of this.
:44:42. > :44:50.Nowhere near as bad as that header from Williamson. Tadic on side
:44:51. > :44:55.there. As Coloccini were appealing for offside, it was put on a plate
:44:56. > :45:02.and Pelle has his second goal. Newcastle in all kinds of trouble.
:45:03. > :45:07.Southampton 2, Newcastle United 0. The owner is here to witness this.
:45:08. > :45:10.They have looked like a Sunday league team at the back. A bad
:45:11. > :45:23.Sunday league team. What a save by Fraser Forster. He
:45:24. > :45:26.has been a spectator throughout the afternoon. Brilliant reflex stop
:45:27. > :45:33.from the man who started his career at Newcastle. He is a local lad,
:45:34. > :45:43.born in Hexham. Never made the team at Newcastle.
:45:44. > :45:53.Jack Cork! He makes it three! More kamikaze defending from Newcastle.
:45:54. > :46:01.Jack Cork Azi 's first ever Premier League goal. -- has his first ever
:46:02. > :46:06.Premier League goal. The assist belongs to Mike Williamson. So
:46:07. > :46:13.simple. Pelle with the move that drag, Cheney out of play.
:46:14. > :46:20.In steps Jack Cork to tap home goal number three for Southampton. There
:46:21. > :46:27.is no way back for Newcastle now. He has a big decision, Mike Ashley. It
:46:28. > :46:33.is Alan Pardew's time at Newcastle coming to an end? -- is not Alan
:46:34. > :46:45.Pardew's time? Put wide by Jack Colback. There was
:46:46. > :46:51.the chance to score their first Newcastle goals. Both missed the
:46:52. > :46:56.opportunity. From what we have seen today Newcastle probably did not
:46:57. > :46:58.deserve to get on the scoresheet. I think Southampton could keep this
:46:59. > :47:12.ball for about ten minutes if they really tried.
:47:13. > :47:26.Schneiderlin! 4-0 Southampton! Morgan shura -- Morgan Schneiderlin,
:47:27. > :47:30.his first-ever goal for Southampton came when Alan Pardew was his
:47:31. > :47:36.manager here, may help to speed up the demise of Alan Pardew from
:47:37. > :47:41.Newcastle. Newcastle just going through the motions. Not pressing
:47:42. > :47:48.hard enough. Schneiderlin picked his spot. Delicious finish. It is the
:47:49. > :47:56.game up for Alan Pardew? Newcastle United thumped again.
:47:57. > :48:03.There has been speculation all week about your situation. Will that
:48:04. > :48:08.intensify this scrutiny? It will not help, for sure. The performance
:48:09. > :48:15.today from the staff put us on the back foot. -- from the start. The
:48:16. > :48:20.fans run our backs. That did not help the situation. We knew that
:48:21. > :48:22.Newcastle lacked a bit of confidence. If you give them the
:48:23. > :48:28.time to play and build-up, it will be more difficult. The best way to
:48:29. > :48:35.finish the game was what we did after 33 passes to score. You were
:48:36. > :48:41.counting the passes? I heard it! They told me 33. That is OK. As far
:48:42. > :48:50.as you're concerned you are still in charge? I'm trying to do the job to
:48:51. > :48:55.the best of my ability. What we saw was a mixture of the
:48:56. > :49:00.excellence of Southampton and the ineptitude of Newcastle? It is OK to
:49:01. > :49:03.lose. It is how you lose. Today was awful in so many ways. This was the
:49:04. > :49:10.first minute. A bad header from Williamson. A sloppy pass back. They
:49:11. > :49:16.could have been a goal down within the first minute. Tim Krul is lucky
:49:17. > :49:26.to be on the pitch. It is a definite penalty. Long had to go off with
:49:27. > :49:31.concussion at half-time. This first goal, no communication, no energy.
:49:32. > :49:38.No marking in the middle with a 6 foot five centre forward. This is
:49:39. > :49:45.the second goal. I do not know what Williamson is thinking. Great pass!
:49:46. > :49:53.Look at the reaction of Williamson and the other defenders. Just lazy,
:49:54. > :49:56.sloppy defending. They did not seem to be any leadership. This was
:49:57. > :50:02.Williamson again. He had a bad afternoon. It was not just him by
:50:03. > :50:10.the way. Jack Cork nips in. Schoolboy stuff. When they do get in
:50:11. > :50:15.front of goal, this is a ?6 million striker who has a relatively easy
:50:16. > :50:19.chance and put it wide. There was no energy, no desire, no bite in their
:50:20. > :50:26.play at all. As bad as I have seen them in a long time. I must put the
:50:27. > :50:32.question to you, is Alan Pardew on apparel? He is under huge pressure
:50:33. > :50:36.because of the run they have been on since last January. The results have
:50:37. > :50:42.not been good enough. I am led to believe they spent nearly ?40
:50:43. > :50:46.million on players that come in and go out, the manager does not have a
:50:47. > :50:51.lot of say. It doesn't work. Inevitably it does not work. It may
:50:52. > :50:55.work for a month, even a year, but in the long run it does not work.
:50:56. > :51:00.Can I ask you briefly, sometimes with games like this when teams when
:51:01. > :51:05.that company and we concentrate on the team that played poorly,
:51:06. > :51:09.Southampton were brilliant? Played with confidence, creativity, energy.
:51:10. > :51:12.They have competition for places and they have goal threats. They were
:51:13. > :51:19.excellent. Your other ex-club! From the very
:51:20. > :51:25.first minute Southampton went for it and Newcastle could not cope.
:51:26. > :51:28.Match of the Day two will feature the August goal a month. Pick your
:51:29. > :51:44.favourite from lot. Fantastic! What a strike!
:51:45. > :52:08.Following us, it is managed. Our featured game later sees Charlton
:52:09. > :52:13.looking to extend their unbeaten start against Watford in Oscar
:52:14. > :52:21.Garcia's first game in charge of the Hornets. A great game at Oakwell. In
:52:22. > :52:24.League Two Clem has been to the game involving Exeter and Oxford, both
:52:25. > :52:28.desperate to register their first wins. John is after Match of the
:52:29. > :52:31.Day. If you are watching this on Sunday morning, we repeat at 9am on
:52:32. > :52:57.BBC Two. What a goal by Alan Murray! The ball
:52:58. > :53:02.played a cross. -- across. What a goal indeed. Even if it was against
:53:03. > :53:06.Leicester. I was at that game. Sunderland were looking to end a run
:53:07. > :53:09.of eight league games without a win against Spurs who did the double
:53:10. > :53:19.over them last season. Your commentator is Guy Mowbray. Ricky
:53:20. > :53:21.Alvarez is pitched in for his Sunderland debut having signed for
:53:22. > :53:27.the season and maybe longer from Inter Milan. Spurs's deadline day
:53:28. > :53:32.signings are a substitute to start with. There is a happy return to
:53:33. > :53:35.Wearside for an old face, Danny Rose, who had a very successful loan
:53:36. > :53:54.two seasons ago. Spurs on the offensive from the
:53:55. > :53:56.start. One minute into the match and the ball has not gone out of the
:53:57. > :54:10.Sunderland half yet. Connor Wickham was well challenged
:54:11. > :54:37.by Dembele. Adebayor... The rebound is put in.
:54:38. > :54:40.Chadli! He has given Spurs the lead. Just two minutes played and that is
:54:41. > :54:47.how it has been right from the start. Spurs on the front foot,
:54:48. > :54:50.going at Sunderland. Sunderland's breakaway only got them midway
:54:51. > :55:01.through the Spurs have and then the visitors came back at them again. --
:55:02. > :55:12.the Spurs half. Chadli's third goal of the season already.
:55:13. > :55:28.Sunderland look to reply straight away. Adam Johnson...! Hugo Lloris
:55:29. > :55:35.could not keep it out. 1-1! A classic piece of tricky wing play
:55:36. > :55:38.from Adam Johnson. You will not find a football supporter in the country
:55:39. > :55:43.who does not love to see wingers taking on defenders. There was a
:55:44. > :55:53.touch of forging with the finish. Johnson took the risk. Two
:55:54. > :56:05.deflections. -- a touch of fortune. Johnson deserves it.
:56:06. > :56:18.Adebayor! Blocked by the goalkeeper. This is incredible. Interesting
:56:19. > :56:24.times for the Tottenham top brass. Daniel Leavy is here today. Talk of
:56:25. > :56:31.takeovers. Talk denied by those at the top level for Tottenham Hotspur.
:56:32. > :56:33.Dembele went for it. It belts against the woodwork. Out of
:56:34. > :57:06.nowhere. What a crack from Dembele. Christian Eriksen! It has taken
:57:07. > :57:12.Tottenham two minutes from the start again! That was the key moment, when
:57:13. > :57:18.Lee Cattermole Slade and did not quite get to the ball. -- Slade.
:57:19. > :57:27.Sunderland desperately tried to turn it away. Eriksson on target for
:57:28. > :57:32.Tottenham. The man who made two goals and scored another in a 5 type
:57:33. > :57:46.-- 5-1 win the last time these teams met.
:57:47. > :57:52.Adam Johnson from distance. He really got a hold of it. Hugo Lloris
:57:53. > :57:55.flung himself to his left-hand post in the manner of a goalkeeper who
:57:56. > :58:04.did not quite know it was going wide.
:58:05. > :58:14.Good tackle by the goalkeeper. There has been an influx of Argentinians
:58:15. > :58:29.into the game. We are seeing the best of Erik Lamela now.
:58:30. > :58:39.Erik Lamela hit the crossbar. It is still shaking. Erik Lamela was so,
:58:40. > :58:44.so close to wrapping up the game once and for all for Tottenham. A
:58:45. > :58:54.great noise up in the gods in the Spurs section. It will be a happy
:58:55. > :59:01.journey home. A Sunderland free kick. What an opportunity this could
:59:02. > :59:10.be. It is going to be a clip into the middle. Missed by everybody. It
:59:11. > :59:13.has gone in! It is an own goal! Sunderland level again. Marescia
:59:14. > :59:18.Pochettino will be furious. His side on top for so long. They concede
:59:19. > :59:21.simply from a set piece like that. The last touch was Harry Kane.
:59:22. > :59:43.Chiriches blocked his view. Through to van Aanholt. Buckley
:59:44. > :59:48.wants it. Buckley! Might not get a better chance than that to win it.
:59:49. > :59:52.It was an incredible game. Without any doubt the most difficult one we
:59:53. > :59:58.had. People say, why you lost the last one. That should be the most
:59:59. > :00:02.difficult one. We played better in other games. The best position we
:00:03. > :00:10.play so far. When you create a lot of chances like today it's difficult
:00:11. > :00:14.to accept the result. When you 2-1 up you need to kill the game. Do you
:00:15. > :00:19.feel you got away with it, getting a point? Yeah, I think they pressed us
:00:20. > :00:25.for long periods. They had us pegged in a bit. That is the way it goes
:00:26. > :00:29.sometimes. It certainly is. Tottenham dominated much of that
:00:30. > :00:34.game. They did. Sunderland hung in there and got a point. Dembele you
:00:35. > :00:39.know well. He was brought back into the side. You thought he made a
:00:40. > :00:42.difference He started his Tottenham career postively, fans took to him.
:00:43. > :00:48.He has been out of favour recently much he made a difference today. He
:00:49. > :00:52.is powerful. Against Liverpool they were lacking in midfield areas. He
:00:53. > :00:59.gets back in and gets tackles, using his strength. Very strong boy, he is
:01:00. > :01:04.quick as well. He broke up play. Great tackle from winning the ball
:01:05. > :01:08.off Wickham. Good use of the ball. Where he has fallen down a little
:01:09. > :01:13.bit is his creativity. What he tried to do in the attacking half is make
:01:14. > :01:17.things happen. He built in his confidence as the game went on. This
:01:18. > :01:21.is him committing people again, trying to make things happen,
:01:22. > :01:26.strong, powerful. Not a great final ball. What we saw was desire to make
:01:27. > :01:31.things happen. Here, I haven't seen enough of this, he has a great left
:01:32. > :01:36.foot. That was super strike. For a player of his talent he should do
:01:37. > :01:39.more. I was pleased to see him back. Good point for Sunderland. They
:01:40. > :01:43.didn't play that well today to be honest, Gary. I think they will be
:01:44. > :01:48.quite happy with a point having not played that well. OK.
:01:49. > :01:51.No Premier League side has ever conceded more than
:01:52. > :01:53.the 10 goals shipped by Everton in their opening three games.
:01:54. > :01:56.Roberto Martinez's side travelled to the Hawthorns to face a West Brom
:01:57. > :01:59.team with just one win in their last 10 home games.
:02:00. > :02:04.Making his debut on Match of the Day, Alan Green.
:02:05. > :02:08.COMMENTATOR: Neither side can be happy with the way they started the
:02:09. > :02:24.season, not a league win between them. One of two changes for Albion.
:02:25. > :02:47.The likelihood is that we are going to see goals here today. Early ball
:02:48. > :02:54.into the penalty area. Lukaku's shot, into the net! Second minute of
:02:55. > :02:59.the game. Lukaku scores against the team he was on-loan to. Lukaku's
:03:00. > :03:02.first goal of the season. Sublime finish from the inside of his right
:03:03. > :03:08.foot. West Brom have only managed two goals this season. Already,
:03:09. > :03:14.after just two minutes, they are adrift here at home, to Everton. It
:03:15. > :03:20.was a poor clearance from Olsson. What a finish from Lukaku.
:03:21. > :03:29.Modest in the way he celebrated that goal in deference to the fans who
:03:30. > :03:35.used to support him. How quickly can West Brom recover from that blow?
:03:36. > :03:39.The cross into the penalty area. It is teed up for Berahino. It must
:03:40. > :03:42.have taken a deflection. It's a corner. Good opportunity there for
:03:43. > :03:54.the England under-21 player. Brunt to take the corner for Albion.
:03:55. > :04:05.Goalkeeper, absolutely nowhere. I think that came back off Lukaku.
:04:06. > :04:13.Howard was very fortunate. Roberto Martinez very happy with the Everton
:04:14. > :04:19.started this game. He won't know what to think. That fell kindly.
:04:20. > :04:20.Berahino. Not a good ball. Here is Brunt. The shot into the
:04:21. > :04:28.sidenetting. Half chance, but the angle was very
:04:29. > :04:33.acute. West Brom getting closer though.
:04:34. > :04:44.McGeady. To the goalscorer, Lukaku, great shot. Blocked. Oh, my word, it
:04:45. > :04:54.should have been 2-0. What a miss by Naismith. Lukaku did ever so well.
:04:55. > :04:58.Naismith has scored in every league game for Everton this season, and
:04:59. > :05:00.that should have been four in succession. A hint that he was
:05:01. > :05:10.offside. But what a waste. Everton have everybody bar Lukaku
:05:11. > :05:17.back. They are holding their positions. A little bit of room for
:05:18. > :05:21.Wisdom down the Albion right though. Baines. Great ball in. Good block
:05:22. > :05:39.that by Howard, under pressure. Promising for Everton. Oh, what a
:05:40. > :05:44.mistake for the goalkeeper, Mirallas scores the second goal. It shot
:05:45. > :05:49.under Ben Foster. Hiss mistake, without any question whatsoever. No
:05:50. > :05:57.matter how pourerful a strike it was from the Belgian, that should kill
:05:58. > :06:03.off Albion. Well, Mirallas, under no pressure, the shot was well hit. Not
:06:04. > :06:10.particularly fierce drive, and how did that slip under Ben Foster, the
:06:11. > :06:12.England goalkeeper? He's not smiling yet, Roberto Martinez, he has every
:06:13. > :06:27.reason to. Now, McGeady. Into Osman. The shot
:06:28. > :06:33.deflected. Good save by Foster. Doesn't make up for the goal that he
:06:34. > :06:40.conceded. It means that Albion aren't at least 3-0 down. There are
:06:41. > :06:50.11 newcomers to the Baggies this season. Bedding that lot in will
:06:51. > :06:56.take a while. . Back here to Osman. Great save from Foster. That looked
:06:57. > :07:00.like 3-0 to Everton. Magnificent save from the England goalkeeper.
:07:01. > :07:07.Really excellent build-up by Everton. Strong left hand from Ben
:07:08. > :07:17.Foster. Here's Berahino though. Berahino can
:07:18. > :07:26.reduce the deficit. Left foot shot. Good save by Howard. Berahino,
:07:27. > :07:28.unselfishly back to Samaras. Another good save by Howard. Two chances
:07:29. > :07:43.there, Albion. It was a terrible start, obviously A
:07:44. > :07:46.mis-kick clearance which is unusual, out of character. Of course there
:07:47. > :07:51.was another individual error by a player who doesn't usually make
:07:52. > :07:56.those kind of mistakes. We made sure today we would keep a clean sheet.
:07:57. > :08:00.At the end we gave the ball away, the reaction, we allowed Tim to be
:08:01. > :08:05.at his best and keep an important clean sheet. The important aspect is
:08:06. > :08:12.he didn't give a solid display at the expense of our way of playing.
:08:13. > :08:16.It has been widely say said we brought in the most players. What
:08:17. > :08:21.hasn't been said is we lost the most players. We lost 13 and brought in
:08:22. > :08:29.11. It doesn't just happen over night. Obviously, we need to move
:08:30. > :08:35.the process of building a team along quickly because we need to win games
:08:36. > :08:39.soon. Certainly do. We talked about Costa at the start of the show and
:08:40. > :08:43.how important a great start he had at Chelsea. The person they let go
:08:44. > :08:48.was Lukaku, he has been on-loan for much of the last couple of seasons.
:08:49. > :08:53.He is starting to find his feet? Goodbyes for both clubs. ?28 million
:08:54. > :08:57.going to Everton and Chelsea really spent ?4 million on Costa they
:08:58. > :09:01.bought him for ?32 million. Lukaku has potential. Chelsea need to
:09:02. > :09:05.deliver now. Having said that, he had a slow start to the season. But
:09:06. > :09:08.he played on the right hand side against Arsenal. Did very good job
:09:09. > :09:13.for the team he was back where he wants to be today. Right up top. Up
:09:14. > :09:17.front. Great goal? He was a threat am he really was. This is what he
:09:18. > :09:22.can do. This is what I'm sure he will do in the future. The ball
:09:23. > :09:26.comes out. Poor defending from Olsson here. First touch, right
:09:27. > :09:30.foot, second touch. That is a great finish. Really, really is a great
:09:31. > :09:34.finish. I don't know what this is all about. I don't understand it. I
:09:35. > :09:39.don't get it. I know you respect the team you have been at and played.
:09:40. > :09:47.Run away and celebrate. A goal - You don't like that, do you? I don't
:09:48. > :09:53.like that at all. Right foot, that with his left foot. Great save
:09:54. > :09:57.Naismith won't want to watch that tonight, it's a sitter. He will be a
:09:58. > :10:00.very, very good player if he keeps on learning. He has to run away and
:10:01. > :10:05.celebrate when he scores against former teams. Agreed. West Brom,
:10:06. > :10:12.they have to improve their home form if they are to survive, surely? They
:10:13. > :10:17.have won one of their last 11 home games. That is a worry. The last
:10:18. > :10:20.three games they haven't scored a goal. It will be a long season for
:10:21. > :10:26.them. A lot of changes, in and out, as the manager said.
:10:27. > :10:29.After winning at Manchester City, Stoke were back on home turf
:10:30. > :10:32.for the visit of newly promoted Leicester, who've already picked up
:10:33. > :10:34.Steve Bower was at the Brittannia Stadium.
:10:35. > :10:50.Stoke make one change to the team that won at the Etihad.
:10:51. > :10:56.One change for Leicester too. A significant one in goal. Schmeichel
:10:57. > :11:04.injured his knee playing for dem mark. A Premier League debut for
:11:05. > :11:09.26-year-old Ben Hamer. First time since 2008 that these two teams have
:11:10. > :11:12.met at all in the league. On that day, Leicester were relegated to
:11:13. > :11:27.League One and Stoke were promoted to the Premier League.
:11:28. > :11:35.Is what a run from N'Zonzi. Is there anything on the end of it? What a
:11:36. > :11:38.goal that would have been. He only scored twice last season. He is
:11:39. > :11:43.described as a holding midfield player. He didn't have the finish to
:11:44. > :11:48.match the run, unfortunately, as far as Stoke City were concerned.
:11:49. > :12:01.Pearson elects to take the aerial view. N'Zonzi has gone again. First
:12:02. > :12:08.corner of the game. For 17-and-a-half minutes, it's Stoke
:12:09. > :12:12.City's. Moses tos deliver. Crouch. He is a little frustrated. He didn't
:12:13. > :12:21.get the connection he was looking for. Crouch's last goal was back in
:12:22. > :12:39.March. Crouch! Very decent try from Peter
:12:40. > :12:45.Crouch. It would have been some goal if that had flown into the back of
:12:46. > :12:51.the net. Nigel Pearson, the first Leicester manager to bring a team to
:12:52. > :12:56.Stoke in the top-flight since 1984. That was a 2-2 draw at the Old
:12:57. > :13:04.Victoria ground. One G Lineker amongst the goalscorers that day.
:13:05. > :13:13.Whelan. Now Crouch. Only one thing on his mind. He's getting closer. R
:13:14. > :13:15.to getting onto the scoresheet for the first time since March. That was
:13:16. > :13:53.close. Bardsley. The referee says play on
:13:54. > :14:02.because of the advantage. Leicester trying to get Stoke on the break.
:14:03. > :14:11.Really Cleverley done. Drinkwater. Konchesky. Ulloa - 1-0 Leicester!
:14:12. > :14:17.The Argentinan has done it again. The visitors are in front. Classic
:14:18. > :14:22.counter-attack goal. Thats with a really good finish. That was behind
:14:23. > :14:29.him. He improvised he adjusted. Then he finished, into the bottom corner.
:14:30. > :14:32.No chance for Begovic. Fine finish from Ulloa who is already becoming a
:14:33. > :14:47.firm favourite with those Leicester fans. Stoke 0, Leicester 1.
:14:48. > :14:58.Real chance... Scrambled clear by Stoke City. Fabulous football in the
:14:59. > :15:09.build-up. Danny Drinkwater is a night. -- is denied. A good attempt
:15:10. > :15:17.by Hammond. This was fabulous football. Drink water with his
:15:18. > :15:25.second touch, denied by the desperate block. That is how close
:15:26. > :15:35.the strike was from Dean Hammond. Still time for Stoke to create one
:15:36. > :15:46.opportunity. Beaten away. Ben Hamer in the way. Ben Hamer with the
:15:47. > :15:52.save! The Premier League debut tint keeps Stoke as again. 18 clean
:15:53. > :15:56.sheets for Charlton last season. And he kept his first Premier League one
:15:57. > :16:01.intact here with a double save to deny Stoke.
:16:02. > :16:06.The first appearance in the Premier League for me, I passed my accolade.
:16:07. > :16:11.The most important thing is we have put in a good shift and got three
:16:12. > :16:17.vital points. We are over the moon. That is not what we wanted today. We
:16:18. > :16:21.understood what the game plan from their point of view was going to be.
:16:22. > :16:25.We need to find a way to break down teams that are organised and
:16:26. > :16:29.resolute. We cannot have any complains. We did a similar thing at
:16:30. > :16:34.Manchester City. We have got to find a way here.
:16:35. > :16:38.A little earlier I spoke to Leicester City manager Nigel
:16:39. > :16:42.Pearson. Nigel, I have been watching you and
:16:43. > :16:48.your teams for many years and I have seldom see you smile. Can you give
:16:49. > :16:54.us one now? There you are! One for you, lad. A terrific performance.
:16:55. > :16:59.You had a difficult looking start to the season and you already have five
:17:00. > :17:03.points? Was a good example of us finding the right way to win a game.
:17:04. > :17:08.We had to defend with a lot of spirits towards the end because they
:17:09. > :17:11.certainly do ask a lot of questions. I think the players again showed
:17:12. > :17:19.their capabilities at this level. And I think we can only take a lot
:17:20. > :17:22.of positives from today. You lost the goalkeeper, Kasper Schmeichel.
:17:23. > :17:27.Had to bring in a replacement and Ben Hamer did terrifically? Yes, he
:17:28. > :17:33.will be pleased to keep a clean sheet. It was always going to be
:17:34. > :17:37.difficult to fill Kasper's shoes. He has been such a really consistent
:17:38. > :17:42.performer. I think the very fact that he came in and we looked nice
:17:43. > :17:46.and solid again, it showed that the players have got confidence in them.
:17:47. > :17:55.He made some good saves in the second half. You paid ?8 million for
:17:56. > :18:00.a striker, Ulloa, who is 28. He has pretty much paid it back already,
:18:01. > :18:04.hasn't he? I think so. When you look at how much players cost now in the
:18:05. > :18:10.Premier League, I don't think really it is too expensive. We broke our
:18:11. > :18:16.own transfer record to bring him in but we always felt that he had got
:18:17. > :18:20.the sort of qualities to give us a bit more balance in terms of our
:18:21. > :18:25.options in forward positions. Certainly the start he has got off
:18:26. > :18:29.to with goals, and his link play, it has been excellent. Keep it going,
:18:30. > :18:38.Nigel. Pleasure. And I will smile again for you. Not many teams win at
:18:39. > :18:44.the Britannia Stadium. It is like the old days. We are talking about
:18:45. > :18:49.centre forwards. Leicester have found one. Played against him in the
:18:50. > :18:54.Championship. He was a real handful. Powerful. He has started so well for
:18:55. > :18:57.them. If you can stay fit, they have a real chance of getting out
:18:58. > :19:01.trouble. He has all the attributes you need. He has shown he is good at
:19:02. > :19:06.linkup. This is the opening day against Everton. That was on his
:19:07. > :19:16.right foot. Smashed it into the back of the net. This is the Arsenal one.
:19:17. > :19:19.Great header. That is his strength. Today his all-round game was very
:19:20. > :19:26.good. For a big man he has got good feet. Nice and tidy. This was the
:19:27. > :19:36.trickiest one. On his weaker foot he manages to put the ball in.
:19:37. > :19:39.Renegotiated it in. That has a better word than I used! He has
:19:40. > :19:42.everything you need to be a good Premier League striker. You said
:19:43. > :19:49.that was a fluke. I didn't say that! Premier League striker. You said
:19:50. > :19:52.that was a fluke. I didn't say that! Ben Hamer came in for his Premier
:19:53. > :20:01.League debut. He has got a proper beard. He has got a proper one. Not
:20:02. > :20:16.like yours! He will be delighted. They have had a tough start or stop
:20:17. > :20:22.Everton, Chelsea and Arsenal. Mine was like that this morning but I
:20:23. > :20:27.trimmed it. Out of fairness, Stoke were a little unfortunate? A little
:20:28. > :20:31.bit. They were the better team in the first half. They did not score
:20:32. > :20:34.when they had their best spell of possession. They will be
:20:35. > :20:39.disappointed after that win at city. They will have wanted to follow that
:20:40. > :20:41.up. That is two they have lost at home.
:20:42. > :20:48.Crystal Palace welcome to Neil Warnock back to Chris -- Selhurst
:20:49. > :20:54.Park. They faced a Burnley side who got a point against Manchester
:20:55. > :20:57.United. For Wilfried Zaha, it is his first Premier League start. He came
:20:58. > :21:02.on as a substitute against Newcastle last time out for Newcastle. He
:21:03. > :21:07.never started a Premier League game during his time at Manchester
:21:08. > :21:10.United. James McArthur came on as a substitute for Scotland against
:21:11. > :21:19.Germany in Dortmund last week. Today he makes is Crystal Palace debut.
:21:20. > :21:20.George Boyd, a ?3 million signing from Hull City. Burnley have never
:21:21. > :21:39.spent more on a player. Burnley do like to get the ball down
:21:40. > :21:47.on the deck. The referee had a look at it. And he has shown a yellow
:21:48. > :21:58.card for a dive. Now is that a dive or was there a clip on his shins? !
:21:59. > :22:06.That will be a corner kick to Crystal Palace, their first of the
:22:07. > :22:14.match. Both centre halves have come up. It was well short. A rehearsed
:22:15. > :22:18.move for Crystal Palace. That was not far away. Damien Delaney looking
:22:19. > :22:42.for his first goal of the season. Off the crossbar! Scott Dann. And
:22:43. > :22:43.after Delaney was just too high, Scott Dann was marginally over the
:22:44. > :23:00.target. Big appeals that the defender leaned
:23:01. > :23:06.down into the ball. He will claim it is ball to hand. And perhaps that he
:23:07. > :23:11.was not able to get out of the way. But does the defender leaned out his
:23:12. > :23:19.arm to strike it. He may just have had. It is not a natural movement to
:23:20. > :23:27.raise your arm like that. Two on three. Wilfried Zaha! It very nearly
:23:28. > :23:34.got over the line. Jason Shackleton is it. This is the sort of
:23:35. > :23:35.confidence we did not see from Wilfried Zaha Manchester United or
:23:36. > :23:52.at Cardiff City on loan last season. Julian Speroni makes the save. If
:23:53. > :23:59.you glimpses from Burnley that they are up for this. Two managers who
:24:00. > :24:03.were not at the Premier League last season. Different routes to get
:24:04. > :24:12.here. Neil Warnock looks like he is thoroughly enjoying being back in
:24:13. > :24:16.the big time. That was too high from Gale. A big chance. He should have
:24:17. > :24:43.at least hit the target. Dwight Gayle was a whisper away.
:24:44. > :24:52.Jedinak won the ball. He just could not get there, Dwight Gayle. That
:24:53. > :24:58.was a bad mistake by Jedinak. He brought himself to wide. A big
:24:59. > :25:04.chance for Burnley. Probably the best they have had in the game. And
:25:05. > :25:14.the best that Judlowiec could do was hit the side netting.
:25:15. > :25:23.Great shot by Kevin Na field and really well saved by Julian Speroni.
:25:24. > :25:31.-- Kevin Na field. Look at the power he got on that.
:25:32. > :25:42.This may be in shooting distance. The referee has shown a yellow card
:25:43. > :25:53.to Jedinak. A good position for a set piece. That is going to be a
:25:54. > :25:59.penalty. Jedinak, arms around, pulling back the opponent. There is
:26:00. > :26:05.no doubt that is a penalty. Before this, Scott Arfield is the only man
:26:06. > :26:10.to have scored in the Premier League this season for Burnley. And he is
:26:11. > :26:15.given the responsibility. It is saved by Julian Speroni! He is the
:26:16. > :26:21.hero of the hour for Crystal Palace. The goalkeeper chose the right way.
:26:22. > :26:28.He kept his arms high. It is a top drawer save!
:26:29. > :26:32.I am really pleased overall, the way the players are going about it. We
:26:33. > :26:36.still know we can improve on that performance. A clean sheet against
:26:37. > :26:42.Manchester United, a clean sheet away to Crystal Palace. We have to
:26:43. > :26:51.be realistic. The crowd here are special. They saw a lot of effort.
:26:52. > :26:54.They saw few chances. It is just a matter of getting the first game out
:26:55. > :26:58.of the way. We can get on with it now.
:26:59. > :27:04.Both sides are still awaiting their first victory. It could have been
:27:05. > :27:09.very different. What a save from Speroni? It was a fabulous save. He
:27:10. > :27:16.struggled well. The keeper guessed right. He gets a strong arm to it.
:27:17. > :27:22.Very good save. What an opportunity for Burnley. Both sides will be
:27:23. > :27:28.satisfied in one way but disappointed in the other? Palace
:27:29. > :27:37.did not make as many chances as they have done in recent weeks. Burnley
:27:38. > :27:41.will be kicking themselves. Thanks, gents. Let's look at the
:27:42. > :27:47.Barclays Premier League table before we go. After four wins, Chelsea have
:27:48. > :28:08.a 2 point lead. Aston Villa are in the second.
:28:09. > :28:16.The morning papers, this is what they have two say. Diego Costa is
:28:17. > :28:25.everywhere. -- this is what they have to say. The daily Star Sunday
:28:26. > :28:31.has Alan Pardew for the axe. And the Sunday express claim Cristiano
:28:32. > :28:34.Ronaldo will move to Manchester City or United. With seven goals in his
:28:35. > :28:42.opening four games, Diego deserves the final word. But upon his too
:28:43. > :28:45.obvious and must be avoided at all cost. It is late!
