:00:12. > :00:20.Welcome to Match Of The Day, the first of a new series coming to you
:00:21. > :00:28.every Saturday. Best has done it again! Welcome to Match Of The Day.
:00:29. > :00:37.Look at his face, just look at his face! Look at that, oh, look at
:00:38. > :00:42.that. Unbelievable! A great touch by Bergkamp. Absolutely magnificent!
:00:43. > :00:59.Aguero! It has gone all the way in, the
:01:00. > :01:07.Argentinian has done it again. Looking for Aguero, 1-0. What a
:01:08. > :01:13.wonderful counter attacking goal. He goes for the shot, what a shot!
:01:14. > :01:27.Sanchez on the volley, Alexis Sanchez. A header. Oh, cost us is
:01:28. > :01:43.there. Equalised. Costa! And he has done it again. Costa. It is three,
:01:44. > :01:49.for Diego Costa. I still love that June. -- tune.
:01:50. > :01:52.There's a distinctly South American feel to the start of this season's
:01:53. > :02:02.Will that continue with the six games we've got for you this week?
:02:03. > :02:13.MUSIC: "Jumpin' Jack Flash" by The Rolling Stones
:02:14. > :02:15.In the studio we've got the antithesis to those
:02:16. > :02:19.South American fancy-dans - Martin Keown and Neil Lennon.
:02:20. > :02:23.We start with bottom of the table Newcastle, where under-fire manager
:02:24. > :02:25.Alan Pardew this week described the atmosphere surrounding
:02:26. > :02:30.They faced a Hull side whose boss Steve Bruce has been linked with
:02:31. > :02:33.the job at St James' Park - a rumour he labelled as disrespectful.
:02:34. > :02:47.Against a background Alan Pardew has described as mass hysteria, the
:02:48. > :02:51.beleaguered Newcastle boss will attempt not only to haul his side
:02:52. > :02:55.off the bottom of the table, but equally to stave off the immediate
:02:56. > :03:00.threat to his very position at the club. The level of vitriol became
:03:01. > :03:03.almost overwhelming, following last weekend's miserable capitulation at
:03:04. > :03:09.Southampton. There is no surprise there are changes today, but only
:03:10. > :03:15.two as income Dummett and Tiote for his first start of the season. The
:03:16. > :03:19.Hull boss will have taken -- spoken to his players about the need to
:03:20. > :03:26.take advantage of the potentially disruptive atmosphere.
:03:27. > :03:33.If not me, then at least get behind the team, was the message from the
:03:34. > :03:40.manager. Today's game seems as much about how those players cope in the
:03:41. > :03:46.cauldron of negativity. Elmohamady gets past him and the ball ends up
:03:47. > :03:52.comfortably in the arms of McGregor. Cabella looked to have hit the shot.
:03:53. > :03:58.He got back at him and got too much on it. It is quite subdued, in
:03:59. > :03:59.reality. Pockets, I would say, rather than a unanimous protest
:04:00. > :04:25.against him. Colback. Suddenly dropped at his
:04:26. > :04:29.feet. He got reasonable contact on it, but nothing more. Certainly
:04:30. > :04:36.wasn't intended for Colback, but it reached him. They have taken just
:04:37. > :04:40.five points from the last 36 on offer. That is why there is so much
:04:41. > :04:45.scrutiny on his position. Alan Pardew continues to be backed by the
:04:46. > :04:49.owner, and it is his position that counts. Sissoko has never done that,
:04:50. > :04:55.allowing Robertson to break away. Not short on pace, the 20-year-old.
:04:56. > :05:03.Turning defence into attack. A good lay Jelavic. Krul, with a simple
:05:04. > :05:08.stop in the end, but the manner in which Hull were able to advance
:05:09. > :05:16.there was very worrying. Not too much to concern himself a, at least
:05:17. > :05:21.on the field. In the last six meetings between these two sides
:05:22. > :05:25.have ended in a home victory, four away wins and two draws. Jelavic,
:05:26. > :05:31.going through the heart of Newcastle. Brings in Diame.
:05:32. > :05:41.Elmohamady on the overlap. Colback has lost out. Jelavic! Brilliant
:05:42. > :05:45.finish! Superb goal. What might that mean to the atmosphere within St
:05:46. > :05:52.James' Park now? You can't legislate for that. It is a fantastic finish
:05:53. > :05:56.from Jelavic. It is a dagger, perhaps, right through the heart of
:05:57. > :06:08.Alan Pardew. They were careless, Newcastle.
:06:09. > :06:15.It needed improvisation. A breathtaking goal. How significant
:06:16. > :06:22.might it be for Alan Pardew? There is nothing you can do, absolutely
:06:23. > :06:26.nothing. It came from an error. I guess you would suspect that would
:06:27. > :06:31.have been the case. In fairness, there was still plenty of work for
:06:32. > :06:42.Hull to do, particularly Jelavic, but, boy, did he do it. Cabella, and
:06:43. > :06:46.the flag is up. Hull have a free kick, but Cabella almost had the
:06:47. > :06:51.equaliser. It looks as though Newcastle have made a real mess of
:06:52. > :06:54.this. Williamson found Cabella and the offside flag was up against
:06:55. > :06:59.Colback in front of the goalkeeper. Had that gone in, one wonders if it
:07:00. > :07:14.would have stood. He curses his look. -- luck. His delivery to Aluko
:07:15. > :07:18.was terrific. Aluko had only just come on. One wonders if he had been
:07:19. > :07:23.more attuned to proceedings whether he might have made it 2-0. Here come
:07:24. > :07:28.Newcastle on the counterattack, having survived a genuine scare.
:07:29. > :07:33.Cabella reaches it. McGregor, just gets himself in the way. Cabella
:07:34. > :07:38.with another opportunity. Never looked as though he was going to
:07:39. > :07:42.score it, to be fair, because it was a tight angle and McGregor had come
:07:43. > :07:46.very quickly at him. Here is Robertson. His delivery from the
:07:47. > :07:53.left is always accurate and dangerous and it is once more. Away
:07:54. > :08:02.by Coloccini. A push from Tiote. Free kick to Hull. It was needlessly
:08:03. > :08:08.firm, the shove, from Tiote. He made sure the referee had a decision to
:08:09. > :08:10.make. The decision is to give Hull free kick in a very dangerous
:08:11. > :08:16.position. Huddlestone and Jelavic poised. Hit by Huddlestone, straight
:08:17. > :08:34.into the wall. No flag and Queen Mrs. Should be 2-0. -- Queen --
:08:35. > :08:39.Quinn misses. Quinn should have scored, but doesn't. Could but --
:08:40. > :08:49.could that be the change of fortune that Alan Pardew is craving?
:08:50. > :09:08.Diame, he can hit them, and he has! Into the back of the Newcastle net
:09:09. > :09:13.addict is double trouble for Alan Pardew. Is this an irretrievable
:09:14. > :09:18.position? It certainly seems that way. The barely audible protests are
:09:19. > :09:24.now turning into a more significant chorus of boos. Diame with his
:09:25. > :09:26.second goal in a week, with a crunching shot beyond the reach of
:09:27. > :09:41.Tim Krul. Two wonderful goals. We are witnessing a really
:09:42. > :09:45.significant afternoon in the history of Newcastle United, and perhaps
:09:46. > :09:51.more significantly, Alan Pardew. He was about to bring on Papiss Cisse
:09:52. > :09:55.anyway, but now as the boomers become more and more audible, the
:09:56. > :10:00.protests become more and more concerted, he has little option
:10:01. > :10:06.other than to bring on the player who has been injured for five months
:10:07. > :10:15.-- the boos become more audible. Cisse, scores! Now than! It is his
:10:16. > :10:19.first goal since March, his first gold -- his first match since April
:10:20. > :10:25.and the messages of support for Younus Gutierrez, who is backing
:10:26. > :10:31.Argentina receiving treatment for cancer, a serious message amidst the
:10:32. > :10:35.crazy goings-on at St James' Park, but most significantly in terms of
:10:36. > :10:38.the scoreline, has Papiss Cisse built an improbable is platform for
:10:39. > :10:54.the comeback? Might they'll the way back into this
:10:55. > :10:59.game? Inside the last five minutes at St James' Park. So much on the
:11:00. > :11:06.line in these remaining moments here. He knows what awaits him at
:11:07. > :11:12.full-time if Newcastle can't equalise. Perhaps even if they can.
:11:13. > :11:21.But they are going to equalise! Papiss Cisse, 2-2, incredible! Well,
:11:22. > :11:24.you wouldn't have scripted this! They seemed down and out until the
:11:25. > :11:43.arrival of Papiss Cisse. He may have saved his manager's job.
:11:44. > :11:49.It brings the reaction of relief coupled with joy. Sometimes you get
:11:50. > :11:54.a performance that we put in against Southampton that is just not right
:11:55. > :12:00.and we knew that and it did not need any expert to tell us how bad we
:12:01. > :12:03.were. We were really poor. But we had tremendous results today, the
:12:04. > :12:07.players have had to play under enormous pressure. I am proud of
:12:08. > :12:11.them. We have made a stupid couple of errors and it got them back in
:12:12. > :12:15.the match, after being comfortable. Two wonderful goals. If you make
:12:16. > :12:18.mistakes at this level you get punished and we found that today.
:12:19. > :12:27.This Premier League is never finished, the game, so we try
:12:28. > :12:33.better, different, how to kick the ball better and we did it. This week
:12:34. > :12:38.is very hard for everybody and I think today we gave a smile to
:12:39. > :12:43.everyone. People say I am proud to be the Newcastle manager, it is one
:12:44. > :12:48.of the best jobs in the world. Let's not get carried away, we haven't won
:12:49. > :12:55.the game, we have drawn 2-2, not won. I hope he sees it through
:12:56. > :12:58.because it is not easy watching a fellow manager. We have all got
:12:59. > :13:03.problems but there is not many others, English ones, we wish him
:13:04. > :13:08.the best of luck. What is it like to hear comments about you and the way
:13:09. > :13:13.you manage? There are some unfair things, I pick out Robbie Savage, he
:13:14. > :13:18.said I was a broken man and I was far from that this week. I have
:13:19. > :13:23.tried to do the job with dignity and be honest. Sometimes if it's -- it
:13:24. > :13:28.is nice if professionals in the game reflect that and that is an example
:13:29. > :13:33.that I thought was wrong. A terrific comeback from Newcastle and a lot of
:13:34. > :13:37.that time in the game you could not really see it coming, could you?
:13:38. > :13:41.Know, even though they started the game pretty well they lacked a bit
:13:42. > :13:44.of conviction and self belief in the final third. Hull scored two
:13:45. > :13:48.magnificent goals. The comeback epitomised the character the team
:13:49. > :14:01.showed. The build-up play was good. He slips in Cabella, his touch is
:14:02. > :14:05.decent. This is symptomatic of Newcastle's play in the first hour
:14:06. > :14:09.or so. The build-up play was good, the 18-yard box, the shot lacks
:14:10. > :14:17.conviction. There is no real belief in that. They need a bit more, the
:14:18. > :14:22.cross comes in, it is not dealt with by Hull. Colback followed in, pretty
:14:23. > :14:28.safe. Papiss Cisse comes on and I felt with Ba and Cisse, Newcastle
:14:29. > :14:34.were a force. Tiote is backing the team, a driving force. They get a
:14:35. > :14:38.bit of luck. McGregor believes he should do better. He puts his laces
:14:39. > :14:43.through it and get the reward. He gambles on this one, the cross comes
:14:44. > :14:49.in. Gouffran, Robertson loses Gouffran, and he spins round the
:14:50. > :14:55.back as all good strikers do. A brilliant finish. He only got two in
:14:56. > :15:00.his last 30 games, comes back and schools two. A great substitution.
:15:01. > :15:05.You have to give the manager a lot of credit. You could see how
:15:06. > :15:07.emotional he was after the game. It is not being -- easy in the
:15:08. > :15:16.opposition. Hull Got Themselves Ahead. Worth
:15:17. > :15:22.Seeing Those Goals Again. Look At The Technique On This. You Can
:15:23. > :15:28.Complain About This. The Technique, He Tries Those Things. Diame, Little
:15:29. > :15:35.Faint. You Think, No, He Will Not Shoot From There. It Hits The Back
:15:36. > :15:58.Of The Net. That Took Somma Coming Back From.
:15:59. > :16:02.at the moment, that amount of pressure? It is a lonely place. Only
:16:03. > :16:08.Alan will know how he feels about it. You can have all your family and
:16:09. > :16:14.stuff around you, but it is lonely when you are a manager. I have been
:16:15. > :16:17.in that position myself and you have to have self belief, self-confidence
:16:18. > :16:23.that you can come through it. Permeate that your players. I worry
:16:24. > :16:28.in this fixture there was a famous incident last year when Alan letting
:16:29. > :16:33.self down. Since then I'd think Newcastle's form has been great.
:16:34. > :16:37.Wonder if an edge has come away from him psychologically and I wonder if
:16:38. > :16:49.it has permeated through to the players. He has been there as the
:16:50. > :16:52.second longest-serving manager in the Premier League. I think he
:16:53. > :16:56.deserves the opportunity to stay on. He needs to turn it around quick.
:16:57. > :17:00.Two away games coming up. He needs points on the board. How hardside
:17:01. > :17:03.for a manager. You have been in that situation, you said yourself, give
:17:04. > :17:08.us an example of how you deal with it? My second season at Celtic we
:17:09. > :17:13.were 15-points behind Rangers in October. We were 3-0 down at
:17:14. > :17:18.Kilmarnock. I'm walking down the touchline saying, if I don't turn it
:17:19. > :17:22.around now, I never will. I went into the players and said, if you
:17:23. > :17:28.want me here on Monday you better turn it around. Thankfully, they
:17:29. > :17:31.did! We went on a great run. Maybe that is the turning point for Alan.
:17:32. > :17:35.You never You need that know. Turning point at some point. All
:17:36. > :17:37.good managers do. The players are still with him. They need to stick
:17:38. > :17:41.with him. OK. West Ham have lost both matches
:17:42. > :17:44.at home this season and the omens weren't good against
:17:45. > :17:54.a Liverpool side who they've beaten West Ham hoping to avoid a hat-trick
:17:55. > :17:57.of home defeats to start the new season against opponents who made a
:17:58. > :18:03.winning return to the Champions League on Tuesday, but have yet to
:18:04. > :18:06.hit their stride. Former Arsenal player, Song, on-loan from
:18:07. > :18:10.Barcelona, makes his first start from West Ham after coming off the
:18:11. > :18:19.bench at Hull last Monday in the 2-2 draw. Liverpool have Martin Skrtel
:18:20. > :18:23.back after a knee injury. Borini and Lucas also start the game.
:18:24. > :18:26.West Ham in their familiar claret and blue, kicking from right to left
:18:27. > :18:36.in the first half. Looks like the bubble machine has
:18:37. > :18:49.gone into overdrive here, pre-kick-off.
:18:50. > :18:55.Referee taking charge of his fourth Premier League game of the season.
:18:56. > :19:02.2-2 draw between Sunderland and Tottenham last week. He is ready. So
:19:03. > :19:08.is everyone else. First chance for West Ham to get the ball into the
:19:09. > :19:14.Liverpool area. High and long. Reid, from about half a yard, 1 minute and
:19:15. > :19:21.15 second played. What a start for West Ham. They lead Liverpool by
:19:22. > :19:31.1-0. Here it is again. The cross. Deep, long. Knocked back from the
:19:32. > :19:41.far-post by James Tomkins. Winston Reid could hardly miss. Right in
:19:42. > :19:48.front of the goal. Nipped in front of Lovren. What a start for West Ham
:19:49. > :19:59.as they look for their first points of the season. West Ham have the bit
:20:00. > :20:03.between their teeth here. Noble. Sakho's ball in. Inside
:20:04. > :20:07.seven-minutes, Liverpool are two down. What a start for West Ham.
:20:08. > :20:15.What a lot of work Liverpool have got to do here. Having lost the ball
:20:16. > :20:21.on the half-way line. West Ham, full of vigour here, in the early stages
:20:22. > :20:24.of the match. Watch Valencia peeling off the Liverpool defence. Did he
:20:25. > :20:31.get to the ball before it crossed the line I'm not sure he did. It
:20:32. > :20:35.means the goal will be Sakho's. I don't think too many people would
:20:36. > :20:39.have expected West Ham to race into a two-goal lead here.
:20:40. > :20:48.Borini. Referee getting in the way there.
:20:49. > :20:59.Working hard to take advantage. Cresswell decides to have a a go.
:21:00. > :21:03.Certainly worth a crack here from Cresswell.
:21:04. > :21:14.Long way to go yet. Good to see Sam smiling on the bench.
:21:15. > :21:27.Players exchanging greetings. The referee with some sorting out to do.
:21:28. > :21:28.Balotelli with the challenge. The reaction from the West Ham
:21:29. > :21:42.goalkeeper. And a yellow card each. 25 minutes
:21:43. > :21:47.in, Liverpool yet to test the West Ham goalkeeper.
:21:48. > :22:04.Henderson. Over the top of Reid, brought down by Balotelli. Liverpool
:22:05. > :22:07.back in it. Raheem Sterling. Balotelli inside the penalty area
:22:08. > :22:10.initially, as the ball is flicked into the box. Bringing it under
:22:11. > :22:16.control. The deflection off Cresswell.
:22:17. > :22:20.Raheem Sterling, absolutely lashed it home.
:22:21. > :22:25.Liverpool's first effort on target of the game results in a goal.
:22:26. > :22:41.Cutting their deficit in half. Lovely ball into the box there from
:22:42. > :22:48.Song. Flicked back in. Oh, Kouyate was almost there. Moreno was clearly
:22:49. > :22:55.caught by the West Ham player, who gets a yellow card. It was a lovely
:22:56. > :22:59.move from West Ham. Sakho there with a brilliant piece of improvisation.
:23:00. > :23:02.Almost resulting in a goalscoring opportunity. He chatters Moreno in
:23:03. > :23:16.the end. -- Caters. Down goes Downing.
:23:17. > :23:21.Free-kick West Ham. Given away by Raheem Sterling.
:23:22. > :23:30.-- clatters. 13 minutes to go until half-time. Valencia fancies this,
:23:31. > :23:33.scored from range on Monday, against Hull. He is going to have a crack
:23:34. > :23:53.here. Away by Simon Mignolet. Here come West Ham. It's with
:23:54. > :24:02.Downing. He let's fly. Good stop by Mignolet.
:24:03. > :24:12.Reid beats Borini. Henderson finds Balotelli who picks out Borini.
:24:13. > :24:19.Borini. Comfortable at the near-post for Adrian. Swift break away from
:24:20. > :24:26.Liverpool. Crisp passing. Firmly struck shot. Comfortable save.
:24:27. > :24:40.Lallana. Balotelli. Moreno, away from one in towards
:24:41. > :24:45.Lallana. Good control. Challenge on the edge of the box there by Song.
:24:46. > :24:52.Liverpool still going. Just over the top from Borini. Anxious moments
:24:53. > :24:55.there for West Ham, just inside their own penalty area. Lallana,
:24:56. > :24:59.just toppling over that challenge initially. The shot over the top.
:25:00. > :25:14.Tidy play. Borini. Might want to let fly here. He does. It was an awkward
:25:15. > :25:21.bounce. Adrian, glad to dive on the ball at the second attempt. He
:25:22. > :25:25.catches Borini. His boot in the air as he slid and gathered the ball. He
:25:26. > :25:27.has of course been booked by the referee. He needs to be careful as
:25:28. > :25:43.the match wears on. Away from Tomkins. Cries of handball
:25:44. > :25:47.from the home crowd. He shoots. Oh, it is was fiercely struck.
:25:48. > :25:53.Tremendous shot from Balotelli. Adrian, relieved to have just
:25:54. > :25:57.blocked it. Can they hang on to this slender lead and inflict a third
:25:58. > :26:02.league defeat of the season already onto Liverpool?
:26:03. > :26:11.In the air by Winston Reid and by Gerrard.
:26:12. > :26:21.Gerrard again, trying to get things moving. He can't find Moreno this
:26:22. > :26:28.time. Away by Tomkins as far as Sakho. A wayward header. Can West
:26:29. > :26:31.Ham hit Liverpool on the break here. Tremendous ball in towards
:26:32. > :26:35.Amalfitano. It's all over now. There won't be any coming back from
:26:36. > :26:40.Liverpool today. In the last three minutes of the game, Amalfitano,
:26:41. > :26:45.with his first goal for West Ham. They lead Liverpool by 3-1.
:26:46. > :26:52.Liverpool are going to lose for the second week in a row. And for the
:26:53. > :26:56.third time in their opening five fixtures of the season. Amalfitano
:26:57. > :27:00.there, just guiding the ball into the bottom corner of the net.
:27:01. > :27:07.Despite the outstretched leg of Martin Skrtel. West Ham United,
:27:08. > :27:12.heading for their first home win of the season. When you see a gameplan
:27:13. > :27:18.work, particularly as early as that. I said to the lads today - Liverpool
:27:19. > :27:22.have come off the back of a Champions League game for the first
:27:23. > :27:25.time in four years and physically and mentally that is draining when
:27:26. > :27:29.they haven't been there so long. Can we start as quickly as we can.
:27:30. > :27:34.Liverpool want to control their possession of their game. Control
:27:35. > :27:37.the tempo of the game we said in the first 10-15 minutes we wouldn't let
:27:38. > :27:41.them do that. You couldn't miss from a yard? No, I nearly missed. It was
:27:42. > :27:46.good to get a goal. Most important for the team we got a couple of
:27:47. > :27:51.goals pretty early on. That was important for the game. I don't
:27:52. > :27:55.think we are near to the levels we expect to be at. Of course, now the
:27:56. > :27:58.standard and expectancy is raised for us after the last couple of
:27:59. > :28:02.seasons, how we have been developing. We have to be able to
:28:03. > :28:06.accept that. It's something that a at this moment in time, we haven't
:28:07. > :28:10.been to the level, or anywhere near our level. We have to continue to
:28:11. > :28:14.work hard. We will hopefully get a number of our important players
:28:15. > :28:17.coming back from injury soon. We will look to bounce back again. We
:28:18. > :28:22.have a Cup game on Tuesday night. Not a great start for Liverpool.
:28:23. > :28:28.Marvellous performance by West Ham, Martin. Optimised in many ways by
:28:29. > :28:33.the performance of Stewart Downing, in a different role to one we have
:28:34. > :28:40.seen him in the past. Sam is very clever. We know about his quality.
:28:41. > :28:46.His goal kicks and taking corners from set-pieces. They play the
:28:47. > :28:49.diamond well. He is making improve ams. Travels with the ball through
:28:50. > :28:54.midfield. Wants to get forward. A range of passing in his game. This
:28:55. > :28:57.is Cresswell, another new signing from Ipswich, shooting from
:28:58. > :29:01.distance, testing the keeper. Bringing people into play. He
:29:02. > :29:04.travels through the midfield. Bags of pace and energy. Maybe more is
:29:05. > :29:08.needed from the shot. He is making things happen for West Ham. This is
:29:09. > :29:12.him there. He wants to make runs into that. He recognises the playing
:29:13. > :29:15.of three Liverpool, he is intelligent, he wants to get in
:29:16. > :29:19.there. He will whip that in. Get in the box for him. Nobody there on
:29:20. > :29:24.this occasion. He has been around for years. Why hassens someone seen
:29:25. > :29:28.this before? Exactly. It is very interesting. This is the goal here.
:29:29. > :29:33.Look. Everyone is having a go at Sakho. Downing, waiting for the run.
:29:34. > :29:40.Amalfitano on his left. Slide pass. A great finish. A massive improve. .
:29:41. > :29:44.A tow Ali different West Ham. The atmosphere there today. Belief in
:29:45. > :29:48.the players. Lots of good performances, deserving winners
:29:49. > :29:56.today -- totally. Liverpool, defensively a shambles at present? I
:29:57. > :30:01.will talk about Sakho. He came after 20 minutes. A lack of communication
:30:02. > :30:05.and understanding with Lovren. Should leave this for Lovren to deal
:30:06. > :30:10.with. In the end, a massive clash of heads. Your main centrele half is
:30:11. > :30:14.getting stitched up. Probably dazed. Not the first time it has happened
:30:15. > :30:18.this season. This is the two of them going for the one ball against
:30:19. > :30:23.Spurs. Just this lack of communication. Poor header. No
:30:24. > :30:27.direction on the header. Again, this is the third goal. He heads it into
:30:28. > :30:32.no-man's land. Really, if he doesn't know where he is going to hit it,
:30:33. > :30:39.his team-mates aren't going to know. They will get punished for it. He
:30:40. > :30:46.came on at 2-0 down. They conceded two goals before he came on. Not
:30:47. > :30:52.only did they not have the goals of Suarez and Sturridge they are
:30:53. > :30:58.conceding goals at an alarming rate. The controversy was whethered a
:30:59. > :31:05.rowan should have been red carded. They are 2-0 up. It's not that bad.
:31:06. > :31:10.His reaction is over the top. The two of them, head-to-head. Balotelli
:31:11. > :31:14.doesn't too bad. The keeper is all over him. Two hotheads together
:31:15. > :31:19.here. You know who does well. Mark Noble. He says, we are 2-0 up. Calm
:31:20. > :31:24.down. In control of the game. We don't need to lose you. The keeper
:31:25. > :31:28.is at it again. Look at how high his foot is up here. Keepers get a lot
:31:29. > :31:32.of protection. It's part of his cage, he wants to make sure he
:31:33. > :31:37.doesn't get hurt. He is lucky to stay on the pitch. I think he should
:31:38. > :31:43.have been sent. He deliberately let one on the player there.
:31:44. > :31:50.Three defeats. The Champions League football really affect you.
:31:51. > :31:54.Aston Villa began the day in second place after three wins and a draw.
:31:55. > :31:56.By contrast Arsenal have started with three draws and a win,
:31:57. > :31:59.but they travelled to Villa Park unbeaten in their last 15 visits.
:32:00. > :32:15.As Scotland was deciding this week, Paul Lambert's contract extension is
:32:16. > :32:19.an indication of how well Aston Villa have started the season. The
:32:20. > :32:24.virus has forced Darren Bent home, Nathan Baker is out and Ashley
:32:25. > :32:28.Westwood dropped out of the warm up. Ciaran Clark comes in for Baker, and
:32:29. > :32:32.Sanchez takes over from Westwood at the last minute. Arsenal, into the
:32:33. > :32:35.team have come Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Santi Cazorla,
:32:36. > :32:45.and Calum Chambers, who is over about of tonsillitis.
:32:46. > :32:54.Santi Cazorla was trying to find Aaron Ramsey. Hutton asking Weimann
:32:55. > :33:03.to start sprinting. Weimann will turn his attentions to Szczesny, who
:33:04. > :33:10.has to hurry. Great to Delph. He is allowed to gather a few yards and
:33:11. > :33:16.shoots, and faucets Wash forces a save from Szczesny. He holds up his
:33:17. > :33:22.hand in an apology. He took too much time, Weimann was getting close all
:33:23. > :33:27.the time. Delph was close with that. Arsene Wenger's 37th game of Arsenal
:33:28. > :33:33.boss against Aston Villa. He has only lost four and only once here.
:33:34. > :33:39.Given away by Ramsey. Agbonlahor versus Gibbs, who did not know where
:33:40. > :33:43.it was. It did strike his arm. There were tentative shouts of hand ball
:33:44. > :33:51.from Villa fans. I think that tells you that they were not clear. Even
:33:52. > :33:56.the fans stopped halfway through. Weimann looks to give Gibbs the
:33:57. > :34:03.slip. Gibbs has been forced to scramble the ball behind. Weimann is
:34:04. > :34:07.so hungry. Agbonlahor and Weimann are doing so much harrying and
:34:08. > :34:13.pressing that Arsenal's defenders do not have time to think. In it comes
:34:14. > :34:17.from cleverly, over by Hutton. If he could get on the scoresheet with his
:34:18. > :34:20.first-ever Aston Villa goal, it would complete a remarkable
:34:21. > :34:26.turnaround. Extended his deal as Villa boss to 2018 this week.
:34:27. > :34:31.Oxlade-Chamberlain, a cracking cross. It is all Ciaran Clark could
:34:32. > :34:35.do with it. Could not afford to let it drift across goal. Santi Cazorla
:34:36. > :34:41.will take the right wing corner. Sakho, the most towering presence of
:34:42. > :34:49.all in the penalty area. Out to Ramsey. He doesn't often miss the
:34:50. > :34:57.target these days. He is forced to drag it wide.
:34:58. > :35:04.Caught by chambers. It will be a free kick, and maybe a little bit
:35:05. > :35:07.more hand in the pocket, yellow card. The fourth booking office
:35:08. > :35:11.Arsenal career for Calum Chambers already. This is only his eighth
:35:12. > :35:21.game for the club. Cleverley with the delivery. That is a really good
:35:22. > :35:25.stop by Szczesny. It was a goal on a plate for clerks, all the way
:35:26. > :35:34.through to the defender, who timed his run defects -- his run defence.
:35:35. > :35:43.A lovely ball through. Well finished, Mesut Ozil is back amongst
:35:44. > :35:50.the goals for Arsenal. Faith shown in him by the manager, faith repaid.
:35:51. > :35:53.He might have suffered a dip in form at the start of this season, but you
:35:54. > :36:12.can never doubted quality. Aston Villa nil, Arsenal one. That
:36:13. > :36:17.is what Arsenal haven't quite found enough this season so far. The
:36:18. > :36:23.precise way through to goal. Everything about that was precise
:36:24. > :36:31.and just about perfect. Here they come again. Another great ball,
:36:32. > :36:39.Welbeck scores! His first Gunners goal. Mesut Ozil scores one, then
:36:40. > :36:44.makes one, and look at the smile on Danny Welbeck's face. He enjoyed
:36:45. > :36:50.himself at Villa Park last season. He scored twice in a 3-0 Manchester
:36:51. > :36:55.United win, nine months ago. So far, it is a 2-0 Arsenal leads this time.
:36:56. > :36:59.Aston Villa unlocked twice inside two minutes. Arsenal looking
:37:00. > :37:15.absolutely rampant now. He has worked it to Santi Cazorla.
:37:16. > :37:21.Gibbs with the drive. It has gone in, off Sissoko. He has turned it
:37:22. > :37:27.into his own net and Aston Villa have fallen apart in five minutes.
:37:28. > :37:37.They are giving the goal to Arsenal now.
:37:38. > :37:47.He decided he had to clear it. Anywhere but there are! -- anywhere
:37:48. > :37:52.but there. Did you have a nice afternoon football, love? Yeah,
:37:53. > :38:02.brilliant. Nobody asked Roy that question, for goodness sake.
:38:03. > :38:11.Ramsey has got a shot on here. The second time he has fired one just
:38:12. > :38:15.wide of that post. 3-0, Arsenal, it could conceivably have been five or
:38:16. > :38:19.six. One of those days. Started badly, with players suffering from
:38:20. > :38:28.illness and dropping out of the squad, and it has only got a whole
:38:29. > :38:31.lot worse. He gave it away to Cleverley. Arsenal up on the ball,
:38:32. > :38:43.quickly. Welbeck is going for gold, finding
:38:44. > :38:47.Guzan guarding it. He is never shy in taking on the goal from this sort
:38:48. > :38:54.of position. The confidence will of course now be up.
:38:55. > :39:02.Well, if Arsenal just keep their heads, don't make mistakes, a raise
:39:03. > :39:06.any carelessness, they win this game comfortably, but look what Aaron
:39:07. > :39:12.Ramsey has done here. This is a gift.
:39:13. > :39:20.It is Cleverley's corner. Welbeck did not get to it, it has come to
:39:21. > :39:28.Clark. It is Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain who flung himself in the way of the
:39:29. > :39:34.ball. Sanchez has run it out. A decent corner. Where was Szczesny?
:39:35. > :39:38.Is defenders did his job for him. To be honest, that sums up the second
:39:39. > :39:43.half. Nothing has happened and that will do it for Arsenal. Aston Villa
:39:44. > :39:48.nil, Arsenal three. A very, very good first half when we were in
:39:49. > :39:53.control and dominated the game. The second half was more about keeping
:39:54. > :40:00.the result, with less drive going forward but it was a very important
:40:01. > :40:06.game for us. Goodwin, what we did. All credit to them for the second
:40:07. > :40:11.half, the lads were going on empty. They have been brilliant at the
:40:12. > :40:16.start of the season. Somebody said to me, if you take ten points out of
:40:17. > :40:21.this, you would have taken it. How did it feel to score? It was
:40:22. > :40:26.pleasing to get off the mark for Arsenal and it was a good game for
:40:27. > :40:30.us and good team performance all round. You've been asked a lot about
:40:31. > :40:33.Danny Welbeck and Mesut Ozil aren't interesting they have combined for
:40:34. > :40:38.the first two goals, both helped and both scored. They combine very well
:40:39. > :40:47.today, especially in the first half. It worked well. Our plan was to play
:40:48. > :40:50.Mesut Ozil behind midfield and it worked. Had a couple more training
:40:51. > :40:55.sessions. Playing with new players, having to get -- getting to know
:40:56. > :41:00.them better. Developing more of an understanding. In time I am sure we
:41:01. > :41:06.will gain that distinctiveness and know where each other will be on the
:41:07. > :41:10.pitch and it is the same for all the players. He played very well. The
:41:11. > :41:15.game was settled three minutes and 12 seconds of brilliant play from
:41:16. > :41:19.Arsenal and a lot of that was as Ozil. He has been strongly
:41:20. > :41:24.criticised in the last week or so. He bounced back well, didn't he? He
:41:25. > :41:28.was magnificent today. In the central position, where he can press
:41:29. > :41:32.all the buttons, he orchestrates Arsenal's attacks. There was a
:41:33. > :41:37.simplicity in their play will stop he brings that to their team. As
:41:38. > :41:40.soon as he got it here, he is bright, sharp, he seems energised,
:41:41. > :41:44.playing in that central position. He wants to go forward, which will
:41:45. > :41:49.please Arsene Wenger. He is looking for the forward pass. He gets it
:41:50. > :41:54.back, again, a slide rule pass, inside of the foot, he almost wears
:41:55. > :41:58.his foot out all afternoon doing that. A lovely flick, the icing on
:41:59. > :42:03.the cake. The confidence is there. It is in this area here that he is
:42:04. > :42:09.trying to get into such propositions. -- central positions.
:42:10. > :42:13.This is brilliant play, good movement, Welbeck, nice pass, again
:42:14. > :42:18.on the deck, look at in here, he slots at home. Nice and calm, Arsene
:42:19. > :42:23.Wenger loves this on the training pitch. Keep it on the carpet, don't
:42:24. > :42:28.let it bubble, and put it in the corner. Simple. In this area now he
:42:29. > :42:34.comes, yes, he plays wide at times. He comes from a central position. A
:42:35. > :42:41.free role. He likes the area he comes into. He recognises Welbeck is
:42:42. > :42:45.on his bike. You pop sitting there. Brilliant finish. Somehow, today,
:42:46. > :42:49.with Sanchez not playing, the team has been dancing to his beat and
:42:50. > :42:54.without Sanchez in the team, I know he will come in eventually, but it
:42:55. > :42:58.was, for them, easier to see the picture for the players. How does
:42:59. > :43:03.Wenger handle players that are out of form perhaps like as Ozil has
:43:04. > :43:09.been, you must know, you had lots of spells, you know him really well of
:43:10. > :43:15.courts. Wattie is a master as, he would have said it publicly to
:43:16. > :43:19.defend him but behind the scenes he is not waving a flag at people if
:43:20. > :43:23.they have problems. The response from the player, he knows the
:43:24. > :43:26.manager is supporting him, today, he looked a different class. It is a
:43:27. > :43:30.position he played predominantly in Madrid and you can see the freedom
:43:31. > :43:35.he got from the performance today was brilliant. The shackles were
:43:36. > :43:40.off. As for Aston Villa, a bump back down to earth in many ways but they
:43:41. > :43:45.did have the virus that affected many of the squad. It is unusual, it
:43:46. > :43:52.lasts for about three and a half minutes! It is a sign their position
:43:53. > :43:58.is perhaps... Paul would be the first to admit that. They got ten
:43:59. > :44:02.points, delighted with that. They have a heavy schedule of big games
:44:03. > :44:06.coming up. They made a brilliant start. If they can hold the fort
:44:07. > :44:10.until Benteke comes back, they have had a fantastic start. If anyone
:44:11. > :44:18.deals and humility and a dose of reality it will be Paul.
:44:19. > :44:26.Four games on Sunday in a bumper Match of the Day 2.
:44:27. > :44:36.They have been totally dominant. Into the net! Palace back in front.
:44:37. > :44:42.A brilliant header. Stamford Bridge rising to a new hero.
:44:43. > :44:44.Four games tomorrow and four-balls and foursomes next weekend.
:44:45. > :44:49.Extended highlights of the Ryder Cup from Friday onwards on BBC Two.
:44:50. > :44:56.Well Gary, your old England team-mate, Stuart Pearce,
:44:57. > :44:59.has made a great start to life as manager of Nottingham Forest.
:45:00. > :45:01.The Championship leaders went in search of a sixth win
:45:02. > :45:04.We'll have the best of Watford against Bournemouth.
:45:05. > :45:07.Clem was at Cambridge United - back in the Football League,
:45:08. > :45:11.Join us, if you can, after Match of the Day or, if you're watching
:45:12. > :45:26.this on Sunday morning, we're repeated at 9.00am on BBC Two.
:45:27. > :45:35.COMMENTATOR: Davis is on the far side. That's the ball that's a good
:45:36. > :45:43.shot. Oh, what a goal. Oh, what a goal! A fine, curling shot.
:45:44. > :45:50.Stoke boss, Mark Hughes, faced his former club QPR
:45:51. > :45:53.for the first time since being sacked by them two years ago.
:45:54. > :45:55.These two sides have managed just three goals between them
:45:56. > :46:05.Rio Ferdinand and his new team-mates are finding life on the road tough
:46:06. > :46:09.at the moment. Home form will be pivotal in their chances of
:46:10. > :46:13.survival. A repeat of their win against Sunderland, three weeks ago,
:46:14. > :46:17.today's tarring. In direct opposition today, an old team-mate
:46:18. > :46:22.from his England days, Peter Crouch played for QPR as a teenager and
:46:23. > :46:35.scored in Stoke's win here, two seasons ago. Barton, who wasn't
:46:36. > :46:40.involved at Old Trafford due to a hamstring problem. Back to captain
:46:41. > :46:48.the side. Chance of an early strike here. Simple enough stop for
:46:49. > :46:57.Begovic. First sight of what var gas is all about here. -- Vargas.
:46:58. > :47:06.Found Diouf. N'Zonzi. Perfect weight on the pass for Moses. First touch
:47:07. > :47:16.let him down. Three in red and white. One of them is Crouch. And
:47:17. > :47:22.it's in! Stoke City have the lead. And it's Diouf who heads it past
:47:23. > :47:28.aless Rob Green. It looked as if the chance had gone with a poor first
:47:29. > :47:33.touch from Moses. It's a decent centre. Crouch makes something of
:47:34. > :47:46.it. Stoke City are in front at Loftus Road.
:47:47. > :47:53.Crouch, lovely touch from Moses. Bearing down on Ferdinand. Crouch in
:47:54. > :47:57.support. Here is Peter Crouch. A whisker wide.
:47:58. > :48:04.On his return to Loftus Road, Peter Crouch almost doubling Stoke's lead
:48:05. > :48:14.here. A beautiful move. This time it's a reasonable pass from Moses.
:48:15. > :48:17.Crouch got his feet right. It's the wrong side of that left hand post
:48:18. > :48:32.from a Stoke City point of view. Krancjar. Good shot. Well, he wasn't
:48:33. > :48:38.far from finding the post. Top corner of Begovic's goal here, Niko
:48:39. > :48:43.Krancjar. Back at the club, having signed on a season-loan. We know he
:48:44. > :48:45.has quality in that right boot, in particular.
:48:46. > :48:56.Krancjar. Two to his left. Ignores both.
:48:57. > :49:07.Working the space. Blocked by Shawcross. Corner number five.
:49:08. > :49:23.Deeper is Caulker. Caulker's header. QPR are level! Three minutes before
:49:24. > :49:28.half-time. Caulker got in amongst the bodies there and just about got
:49:29. > :49:32.enough on it. Caulker's header was certainly on target. I wonder if it
:49:33. > :49:35.came off a Stoking boot last? There were three of them back. There it
:49:36. > :49:42.looks as though Crouch gets the final touch.
:49:43. > :49:48.Phillips now for QPR. More red and white than blue and white between
:49:49. > :49:52.him and the penalty area. He's done really well. The cross just a little
:49:53. > :49:58.bit too strong for Charlie Austin, in the six-yard box. That's more
:49:59. > :50:05.like it from Matty Phillips. He has pace to burn. With delivery like
:50:06. > :50:11.that, he's a dangerous customer. Now, N'Zonzi.
:50:12. > :50:27.Lost by Isla. Moses, again. Good cut back. And Crouch! Stoke City, back
:50:28. > :50:30.in front. Peter Crouch, on his return to Loftus Road, with his
:50:31. > :50:37.first Premier League goal of the season. This clearance here was a
:50:38. > :50:42.shocker. Surrendering possession in the final third. Moses does well to
:50:43. > :50:48.cut it back for Crouch, who had a gap for himself and his marker, Rio
:50:49. > :50:53.Ferdinand. Peter Crouch, who might, in some quarters, get credited with
:50:54. > :50:55.QPR's equaliser, scores in the same goal, but for the right team this
:50:56. > :51:06.time. Vargas has the better of Pieters.
:51:07. > :51:16.Krancjar couldn't do anything with that pass. It might set up another
:51:17. > :51:18.counter-attack here for Stoke,. . N'Zonzi has come for Charlie Adam.
:51:19. > :51:30.Adam back for N'Zonzi. They are creating chances so, so
:51:31. > :51:34.easily, Stoke City. Mark Hughes will be so irritated that they're not
:51:35. > :51:39.putting them away. Adam here, with so much time to pick his man, went
:51:40. > :51:43.for N'Zonzi. He went for power. Green wouldn't have stopped it, had
:51:44. > :51:48.he found the top corner that he was looking for. Isla. Krancjar. Left
:51:49. > :51:51.footer is on. Couldn't find the bend he was
:51:52. > :52:06.looking for. Austin has won S the header.
:52:07. > :52:07.Shawcross wins the second ball. Stoke, at the moment, can't get out
:52:08. > :52:27.of their own half. It will drop for Krancjar. Foul by
:52:28. > :52:42.Sidwell. Another yellow card for a Stoke City man. This, in an inviting
:52:43. > :52:47.position for strike at goal. Desperate lunge from Sidwell. Fer
:52:48. > :52:59.and Krancjar over it. It's Krancjar. It's in! Beautiful free-kick. He won
:53:00. > :53:05.the free-kick. He took the free-kick. He buried the free-kick
:53:06. > :53:07.and QPR level for the second time this afternoon. You just don't keep
:53:08. > :53:18.out these. It's superb. On the balance of play, I think our
:53:19. > :53:22.performance merited more than the one point, I think, in terms of
:53:23. > :53:25.chances created in open play. We had any number of good clear-cut
:53:26. > :53:29.chances, sometimes we didn't quite pick the right pass, at the right
:53:30. > :53:34.time. In terms of what we created, as an away team, I was pleased. It's
:53:35. > :53:39.good for the spirit we didn't get beat today. If we got beat it knocks
:53:40. > :53:43.you flat. To come back twice against a tough team to play against, a good
:53:44. > :53:48.result. When the opportunity fell your way you fancied yourself? Yes.
:53:49. > :53:53.Delighted it went in. How much practice does that take to get it
:53:54. > :54:00.right? Apparently, a lot! I'm not usually the one that really takes
:54:01. > :54:04.free-kick. Today I felt quite confident and, luckily for me, even
:54:05. > :54:09.whout practicing this weekend went in. There is no-one I would rather
:54:10. > :54:14.have on the ball than Niko Krancjar. He has the ability he practices a
:54:15. > :54:19.lot. He takes free-kick and shots, a lot of shooting practice. Does he
:54:20. > :54:23.practice or doesn't he practice? Krancjar says, no, Harry says, yes.
:54:24. > :54:27.Whatever he did, it, works. It was in the top corner. He signed him
:54:28. > :54:36.three times you would think he knows whether he practices or not He is a
:54:37. > :54:41.special player. No doubt that. Full range of passing. He can see a pass.
:54:42. > :54:45.No doubt he has that vision. I thought he played too deep in the
:54:46. > :54:49.game. I wanted him to get forward. He gradually did that. He shoots
:54:50. > :54:54.from distance. That's some effort from there. Look at this.
:54:55. > :54:59.Gerrard-like pass. Full repertoire. Whatever he needs to do, he can do
:55:00. > :55:03.it. That is showboating for me. I want to see him in this central
:55:04. > :55:09.position. Can you get into that area? The position hard to defend
:55:10. > :55:14.against. Shot from distance. Little drag back. Good imagination. Power
:55:15. > :55:21.in the shot. Shawcross gives him a reducer. Sidwell, takes him out. A
:55:22. > :55:27."reducer" New one on me, that one! Quality finish. He wants to put it
:55:28. > :55:32.into that area. Can he do it. Great technique. You knew he was going to
:55:33. > :55:39.pull it off. It would work for Harry. Harry was buzzing. Rightly
:55:40. > :55:42.so, good performance. Stoke, you were impressed with how they
:55:43. > :55:47.counter-attacked? Against Hull they were flat. Today they were breath
:55:48. > :55:51.taking. The linkup play between Diouf, Crouch and Moses was fans
:55:52. > :55:57.tastic. Particularly Moses and Crouch. Crouch sees it first time.
:55:58. > :56:02.He is away again. Moses loves this position, one against one with
:56:03. > :56:10.Caulker. If that is split, Crouch is on hand. Layoff here. Away goes
:56:11. > :56:15.Moses. Crouch, Barton pulls up with a hamstring. This was symptomatic of
:56:16. > :56:19.the game. This is the goal. Swept out wide first time. Moses was a
:56:20. > :56:23.real threat all afternoon. Peter Crouch is just waiting are for the
:56:24. > :56:26.ball to come in. Half a yard. The cross really should have been
:56:27. > :56:33.stopped. It comes in. For me, a clear foul on Rio Ferdinand. Diouf
:56:34. > :56:39.is there to tap it in. He takes a ride on Rio's back. You are seeing
:56:40. > :56:43.it more getting away with it. Pieters and Moses pressing. Moses
:56:44. > :56:48.all day, really direct. Gets to the by-line. All sorts of problems.
:56:49. > :56:52.Crouch peels off from Rio. Brilliant first time finish. On the balance of
:56:53. > :56:56.play and the chances they created Stoke should have won. I can see why
:56:57. > :57:06.Mark was disappointed not to win the game. Shawcross, likes to get his
:57:07. > :57:11.hands on? This is, people talk about zonal marking, he man-to-man marks.
:57:12. > :57:16.He is marking. Dancing has started early. Won't let go of him. This is
:57:17. > :57:21.the goal. Caulker gets his own back. Gets away with him. He is obsessed
:57:22. > :57:26.with him, Shawcross, causes panic. Crouch puts that into his own net.
:57:27. > :57:30.Credit to QPR getting back into it. Stoke should have won this game. I
:57:31. > :57:35.thought they were impressive today, Stoke. Looked a good side. OK.
:57:36. > :57:38.Two sides now currently occupying the Champions League places -
:57:39. > :57:40.early days of course - Swansea and Southampton have both enjoyed
:57:41. > :57:43.Today, they met at the Liberty Stadium.
:57:44. > :57:58.Ferdinand makes his debut in defence. Recall for Swansea's
:57:59. > :58:02.top-scorer as Wilfried Bony searches for his first goal of the new
:58:03. > :58:07.campaign. Lambert scored the last goal from a visiting player in the
:58:08. > :58:10.League. Pelle has three Premier League goals already and bids to
:58:11. > :58:17.score for the third match in a row today. M
:58:18. > :58:28.Sigurdarson. Routledge is on side. Four in thele penalty area. One was
:58:29. > :58:30.Bony. Then Dyer. Southampton survived, Routledge with the
:58:31. > :58:37.delivery. Dyer, just couldn't make the contact.
:58:38. > :58:45.Bony to chase. Challenge on Yoshida. He was late there, the Ivory Coast
:58:46. > :58:50.international. He is an absolute plan mountain when he's in this kind
:58:51. > :58:55.of challenge. He is growling as well. He got a yellow card for that
:58:56. > :58:58.challenge. A few complaints from the Southampton players. In fairness, he
:58:59. > :59:13.wasn't playing the ball. Back from Schneiderlin. Taddism,
:59:14. > :59:19.clever, still taddism. On the ground. -- Tadic. He had a clear
:59:20. > :59:24.shot at goal. There is a foul on Bony. That was by Fonte. The
:59:25. > :59:31.Southampton captain is shown a yellow card. Moments after Bony had
:59:32. > :59:40.gone in the book himself. Fonte, still protesting his innocence.
:59:41. > :59:46.Sigurdarson. Lovely touch. No flag. Should have been the first goal.
:59:47. > :59:50.Routledge can't believe he hasn't put that away. Beautifully worked
:59:51. > :59:56.from Swansea. Caught Southampton, first time they've opened them up.
:59:57. > :00:06.Most definitely onside. Routledge, with the outside of his foot.
:00:07. > :00:11.Off the legs of Schneiderlin for the first corner of the game, ten
:00:12. > :00:19.minutes before half-time. It goes Swansea's way. Schneiderlin saw the
:00:20. > :00:29.danger and got in the way of the cross. In from Sigurdsson, it was
:00:30. > :00:34.inviting. In came Bony. Burke and off the line. Evidence of why
:00:35. > :00:41.managers put them in those positions. A really good running
:00:42. > :00:49.header from Bony. As Bertrand not been there it would have been 1-0
:00:50. > :01:03.Swansea. Needed to Quinn dispossess bony. -- needed to Quin dispossess
:01:04. > :01:08.Bony. It ends with a red card. The top score of last season for Swansea
:01:09. > :01:16.City is sent off. That was the tackle from behind on Yoshida.
:01:17. > :01:21.Southampton have a man advantage. Taylor could not take any chances.
:01:22. > :01:29.Southampton have their first corner of the game. James Ward-Prowse to
:01:30. > :01:37.take the corner. Almost came to Fonte. He was late on Routledge, who
:01:38. > :01:42.has been booked. You can hear what the Swansea supporters think should
:01:43. > :01:46.happen. John Moss just shot away. Is this a yellow card? You didn't make
:01:47. > :01:49.any contact in the end, fortunately. Garry Monk is saying, what is the
:01:50. > :02:06.difference? He got the shot in as well, which
:02:07. > :02:14.was deflected, and deflected just over, from Tadic. A little trick,
:02:15. > :02:19.and to his right. Just took a deflection off Dyer. It looped over
:02:20. > :02:27.the goalkeeper and over the crossbar. His team are a little more
:02:28. > :02:32.creative with the man advantage, should give them a goal advantage.
:02:33. > :02:38.Swansea have won seven of their 11 Premier League games. Southampton,
:02:39. > :02:45.beaten only once in their last eight, going back to last season.
:02:46. > :02:57.No need to debate that one. Tadic is quite clearly going to take this. A
:02:58. > :03:00.long, hard look at this. Here comes the Serbian international.
:03:01. > :03:08.Fabianski, safely down to his left hand side to gather. Trying to
:03:09. > :03:29.Have they got away through? They have! The substitute, Wanyama, with
:03:30. > :03:34.his very first goal for Southampton, to finally break the
:03:35. > :03:41.deadlock, with just ten minutes remaining. Wanyama kept his
:03:42. > :03:52.composure and his balance and finished really strongly.
:03:53. > :03:58.We were by far the better team in the first half. We dominated in
:03:59. > :04:03.every aspect and considering the second half where we were playing
:04:04. > :04:07.with a man less, the only shot they had on our goal was in the 80th
:04:08. > :04:12.minute, when they scored. After that, shots on target did not mean
:04:13. > :04:17.anything because we had to push on and be open and try to get back in
:04:18. > :04:22.the game because we were losing. Until the 80th minute, we did well.
:04:23. > :04:27.We got three wins on the bounce, so we keep the keys clean sheets, we
:04:28. > :04:32.are defending well and scoring goals as well. Hopefully we can continue
:04:33. > :04:37.the run of form. We don't like to lose two on the spin. We will have
:04:38. > :04:40.to dissect this game. Very disappointed. The lads are really
:04:41. > :04:43.down in the dressing room because of the effort we put in and we came
:04:44. > :04:46.away with nothing. After
:04:47. > :05:00.the game I spoke to Southampton's This has been easy so far? Maybe it
:05:01. > :05:04.looks easy but today, it wasn't. Today was very touched -- tough, a
:05:05. > :05:10.difficult game against a strong opponent. But finally it was a great
:05:11. > :05:14.school and a great win. This is the best start Southampton have had in
:05:15. > :05:18.the top flight for 26 years. As it surprised you? A little bit, yes,
:05:19. > :05:24.because after the summer we had to make a lot of changes in the team
:05:25. > :05:34.and normally you need time to build up again and new, strong team full
:05:35. > :05:40.Webb. The players and the team play in a positive way. That is very
:05:41. > :05:47.important to keep the philosophy of the team and the club. Until now, it
:05:48. > :05:53.is going well. One player, Wanyama, came in, and what a goal he scored?
:05:54. > :05:58.He scored a great goal. It is difficult for the manager because we
:05:59. > :06:02.have a great midfield players and to keep players like Wanyama on the
:06:03. > :06:07.bench is always difficult. But he came in in the second half and put
:06:08. > :06:13.spirit into the team and scored a great goal and finally it is a great
:06:14. > :06:18.result. York are second in the table now. It is -- you are second in the
:06:19. > :06:24.table now. It is early in the season. What are your expectations?
:06:25. > :06:29.First of all, to play good football. We like that. We bring in the
:06:30. > :06:33.quality players and we like to build up from the defence and to have good
:06:34. > :06:38.ball position, and now the results of course, little by little, you are
:06:39. > :06:43.watching the list and it is fantastic for the fans to be second
:06:44. > :06:47.in this moment. You know, football is football, and it is changing very
:06:48. > :06:53.fast. A great start for you and thanks for talking to us. Thank
:06:54. > :07:00.you, goodbye. It has been a terrific start, helped of course by a red
:07:01. > :07:07.card incident. Two yellows, I should say. No complaints? No, the player
:07:08. > :07:17.is over physical. He has gone straight into Russia death --
:07:18. > :07:22.Yoshida. That is very sore. When you are on a yellow card, you can't do
:07:23. > :07:27.something like this. It is a pincer challenge, goes with both feet. It
:07:28. > :07:35.is Yoshida on the end of it. It is not like him, is it? He is a
:07:36. > :07:40.physical guy, but it is rare use the that discipline. Fonte has got away
:07:41. > :07:46.with similar? This was in between the booking, I wonder if it was on
:07:47. > :07:51.his mind, Fonte takes him out. That is a bad challenge. This was a
:07:52. > :07:56.yellow card. It has wound him up a little bit because it was not long
:07:57. > :08:00.afterwards, he got sent off at a critical stage. Fonte, people saying
:08:01. > :08:07.he had gone for that, but for me there is nothing in that. There is
:08:08. > :08:12.no real contacts. The referee gives a free kick. He has seen it and
:08:13. > :08:16.doesn't see it as a sending off. An excellent winning goal. You had him
:08:17. > :08:24.at Celtic for a long time. A terrific player. He is 21, the world
:08:25. > :08:29.at his feet. He has more to come. Predominantly up defensive midfield
:08:30. > :08:34.player, but he has goals in him. He goes past Ki Sung-Yueng, a brilliant
:08:35. > :08:39.finish. It sits up for him. He pokes it into the far corner of the net. A
:08:40. > :08:44.wonderful start for Southampton. There is far more to come from
:08:45. > :08:49.Victor, he has so much to his game. He has the right attributes. A
:08:50. > :08:53.strong boy, brilliant athlete, his temperament is fantastic. Built like
:08:54. > :08:59.a heavyweight, people bounce off him. A fantastic player. He's one of
:09:00. > :09:04.the few players not linked with a move away. To lose all those players
:09:05. > :09:11.as they have, they lost their manager, the Chief Executive...
:09:12. > :09:12.Extraordinary. To be second in the table is extraordinary. A
:09:13. > :09:15.magnificent win. Both Burnley and Sunderland have yet
:09:16. > :09:19.to win a game this season, so could At Turf Moor for us was
:09:20. > :09:36.Jonathan Pearce. Burnley Givet first league start to
:09:37. > :09:41.Sordell. Giaccherini starts the Sunderland for the first time since
:09:42. > :09:48.March, with the Argentine international injured. Wickham is at
:09:49. > :09:55.the top supported by a five-man midfield. The 99th league meeting
:09:56. > :10:01.between these two famous old names. Sordell playing to the left and
:10:02. > :10:06.Yanukovych to the right. Playing it back to him, that is a big chance.
:10:07. > :10:10.Burnley's stretch without a goal goes on. That is the difference
:10:11. > :10:15.between Championship football and Premier League football. In the top
:10:16. > :10:22.flight, you have to take opportunities like that.
:10:23. > :10:30.Splendid dummy by Arfield, gets it back again.
:10:31. > :10:39.Trippier has made a promising start to life in the Premier League.
:10:40. > :10:49.Jones, straight at the goalkeeper. Another chance, Burnley's way, and
:10:50. > :10:55.still they can't score. The build-up, I thought he had done too
:10:56. > :11:01.much but Jones came in behind him. No goals, but decent football being
:11:02. > :11:04.played. He held onto it a bit too long, it wasn't a good ball to
:11:05. > :11:17.Johnson. I flicked header by the Deeney, the
:11:18. > :11:23.goalkeeper got down, didn't get a goal kick. The Argentine right back
:11:24. > :11:30.is yet to score English football. -- score in English football. Was there
:11:31. > :11:37.a little nudge thereby Brown on Yucca which is Ashton Mark -- on
:11:38. > :11:43.Jutkiewicz? He miss timed it. I think that is a penalty. A gloomy
:11:44. > :11:49.day in Burnley. Unless we have an early second-half goal, the game may
:11:50. > :11:54.well become gloomy and grey as well. A chance for Arfield. Space in front
:11:55. > :12:02.of him, here comes Jutkiewicz. Brown away. Giaccherini, always seems to
:12:03. > :12:08.be a Sunderland player in space. They have the extra man in midfield,
:12:09. > :12:16.of course. Blocked and away in the end by Mee. Just would not come at
:12:17. > :12:20.the far post. Larsson. Good counter by Sunderland, this. Too much space
:12:21. > :12:25.for Giaccherini. Looking for Rodwell.
:12:26. > :12:52.Arfield went close. Mannone did well to get down there. Protected the
:12:53. > :12:56.ball well. Good release. Such a famous old ground. Once upon a
:12:57. > :13:07.time, the home of the champions of the land.
:13:08. > :13:18.Burnley protest. The referee unimpressed. He rolled around and he
:13:19. > :13:22.stumbled, then his forward momentum sent him sinking down. There is
:13:23. > :13:27.nothing wrong with that defending. That is not a penalty. Chances have
:13:28. > :13:30.been at a premium. A few long-range efforts dealt with easily bribed
:13:31. > :13:36.both goalkeepers. Jones has been busy. -- dealt with easily by both
:13:37. > :13:46.goalkeepers. That is Burnley's best chance.
:13:47. > :13:51.Sunderland are a bit jittery. The referee is going to book John O'Shea
:13:52. > :13:55.for pulling his man back. Had he stopped it and given the free kick,
:13:56. > :13:59.O'Shea might have been gone because Jutkiewicz would have been through
:14:00. > :14:05.on goal. Arfield had time. Good linkup with Barnes. Could have got
:14:06. > :14:12.away early, the goalkeeper was off his line. Back to Ashley Barnes, it
:14:13. > :14:17.hit the top of the bar and might have taken a deflection on the way
:14:18. > :14:22.through. That is the closest we have come to a goal, Ashley Barnes. Took
:14:23. > :14:33.curious loop, up off Cattermole, dipped and bounced against the bar.
:14:34. > :14:40.Brought down by Marney. He was stretching into the challenge, a
:14:41. > :14:45.yellow card. How much contact was there? Vergini's touch was heavy.
:14:46. > :14:51.You can't tell from there. He thinks he played the ball.
:14:52. > :15:00.Sunderland looking to win it here, late. Van Aanholt with the drive.
:15:01. > :15:05.Oh, how did that stay out? It hit the upright, bounced off the
:15:06. > :15:10.goalkeeper. A moment of real quality from Van Aanholt, I rode it in and
:15:11. > :15:23.the keeper David onto the post. A game of ifs, buts and maybes. There
:15:24. > :15:30.was a number of chances. Anyone else on the pitch, it was a foul, and if
:15:31. > :15:35.it is it is in the box. The inevitable was getting over line.
:15:36. > :15:39.For the first time in the Premier League we kept a clean sheet and
:15:40. > :15:45.points. It was a game that was difficult to play. We tried full --
:15:46. > :15:53.we tried. Burnley was pushing. One of those games, the one who scores
:15:54. > :15:58.wins the game. It has been positive, we don't do negatives.
:15:59. > :16:09.He thought he should have had a penalty. What do you think? I'm not
:16:10. > :16:13.convinced. There is a slight tug. I think Jutkiewicz falls into him. I
:16:14. > :16:16.think the referee has that right. I don't think he is in control of the
:16:17. > :16:23.ball. He falls again. You are clutching at straws a little bit
:16:24. > :16:27.there. He goes down easily. Maybe if he goes down with the contact of Wes
:16:28. > :16:33.Brown he would have got the penalty, not the second incident. Three 0-0's
:16:34. > :16:38.on the row doesn't get you high on the Match of the Day running order.
:16:39. > :16:43.It gatherses points. It suggests if you start scoring, you might start
:16:44. > :16:47.winning? It got him up through the Championship. The players are well
:16:48. > :16:53.drilled. They know each other. Particularly the back four. They
