:00:15. > :00:27.first of a weekly series coming to you every Saturday. Georgie Best has
:00:28. > :00:44.done it again. Look at his face! Just look at his face! Unbelievable.
:00:45. > :00:52.Absolutely magnificent. Sergio Aguero. Welcome to Match Of The Day
:00:53. > :00:58.at the start of a new season and a new time with a few new ideas. At
:00:59. > :01:15.the heart of the programme will be the football action. He was still
:01:16. > :01:21.shaking with excitement. Sturridge! The Premiership season is underway
:01:22. > :01:29.again, just another 37 weeks to go. Sergio Aguero on target. Sid Goodson
:01:30. > :01:34.gives Swansea the lead again. If anything is trying to tell you
:01:35. > :01:36.football was far better ten, 20, 30, 40 years ago, very politely say to
:01:37. > :01:41.them nonsense. Fifty years ago this weekend
:01:42. > :01:46.the first Match Of The Day was We're still here and we've got six
:01:47. > :02:05.games for you, five more than 1964. # It's not unusual to be loved by
:02:06. > :02:11.anyone. # It's not unusual to have fun with anyone.
:02:12. > :02:22.# But if I find you have changed at any time, it is not unusual to find
:02:23. > :02:27.out I am in love with you. The only Welshman we can afford is Robbie
:02:28. > :02:30.Savage. He is here with Alan Shearer.
:02:31. > :02:33.We start at Goodison Park where Everton met
:02:34. > :02:36.Arsenal, two clubs who've graced the top flight for the past 50 years.
:02:37. > :02:39.It's a fixture that in recent times has produced more than
:02:40. > :03:09.Oh, wonderful. Tony Adams, what a finish! Wayne Rooney, what a goal!
:03:10. > :03:22.And it is the captain who has the gold. Still Lukaku. 2-0.
:03:23. > :03:24.Arsenal won more games on the road than any other side last
:03:25. > :03:27.season but haven't beaten Everton in their last four league meetings.
:03:28. > :03:53.Arsenal's next game and Steven Naismith and Lukaku play again
:03:54. > :04:02.today. The Everton side is changed by two. Kevin Mirallas plays.
:04:03. > :04:09.Coleman is fit to start. Arsenal were busy at Besiktas on Tuesday and
:04:10. > :04:14.there are four changes. Flamini comes in and Alex
:04:15. > :04:22.Oxlade-Chamberlain, Per Mertesacker and Mesut Ozil. Interesting to see
:04:23. > :04:29.how Sanchez does up top for Arsenal. It will be worth a look to see where
:04:30. > :04:40.Lukaku plays in this first half. In April he played on the right-hand
:04:41. > :04:46.side and butchered Nacho Monreal. Chambers has had an excellent start
:04:47. > :04:53.to his Arsenal career. Two very good games under his belt already. Steven
:04:54. > :05:02.Pienaar was hurt by the teenager's challenge. This looks like a fresh
:05:03. > :05:16.concern. It is concerned enough to see him replaced.
:05:17. > :05:23.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain is on his own in claiming a deflection. It
:05:24. > :05:31.will be a huge sigh of relief or Seamus Coleman. It was a rather
:05:32. > :05:44.impudent arm in the air to claim a corner.
:05:45. > :05:53.Lukaku got the call to leave it. Good job he did because Coleman was
:05:54. > :05:57.flying in to score. It is a confident full-back who tells the
:05:58. > :06:04.main man who scores goals to leave it alone. Barry took up a beautiful
:06:05. > :06:07.position and Lukaku was onside. Coleman was certainly onside. The
:06:08. > :06:24.header had too much power. Seamus Coleman managed seven goals
:06:25. > :06:37.last season, his best in a single campaign.
:06:38. > :06:49.Kevin Mirallas cannot find the net. Roberto Martinez is asking why it is
:06:50. > :07:00.not a corner. He did seem to slip for my money from that angle. If the
:07:01. > :07:04.court? The last Everton manager to bring the club a trophy, Joe Royle,
:07:05. > :07:12.is back at the club as youth development assistance. That was
:07:13. > :07:17.Chambers totally taking out Kevin Mirallas. Everton free kick. On that
:07:18. > :07:19.viewing it looks more like a collision rather than anything more
:07:20. > :07:40.sinister than that. It is Kevin Mirallas and that was
:07:41. > :07:52.not far away. Wojciech Szczesny was not sure about that.
:07:53. > :08:07.Sanchez is taking the wide route with Mesut Ozil.
:08:08. > :08:17.Naismith, a brilliant goal. Too easy from an Arsenal point of view, but
:08:18. > :08:23.brilliantly worked by Everton. This is where it started. Lukaku wanted
:08:24. > :08:30.to hold on more than Per Mertesacker. Looking in the middle
:08:31. > :08:35.to see where Naismith is. He looks a fraction of side. That is what
:08:36. > :08:41.Arsene Wenger will talk about later. It was a lovely, weighted pass, but
:08:42. > :08:49.Naismith should have waited a bit longer. Not that it matters now
:08:50. > :08:53.because the goal stands. He is already having words with Michael
:08:54. > :09:08.Oliver. He does not want to have words back. Not one. Winning away to
:09:09. > :09:23.their rivals in the top five was Arsenal's Achilles heel last season.
:09:24. > :09:35.Olivier Giroud got too much contact on the ball. Arsenal look a little
:09:36. > :10:03.bit brighter even if his expression is not much sunnier.
:10:04. > :10:48.Olivier Giroud fired. That was the closest they have come.
:10:49. > :11:09.cleared. Finally, Tim Howard is called into action.
:11:10. > :11:17.That was so close to being an almighty chat for Everton to wrap
:11:18. > :11:22.the game up once and for all thanks to Leighton Baines' endeavour. There
:11:23. > :11:26.is a push from Jack Wilshere and perhaps a push from Debuchy, but
:11:27. > :11:43.Leighton Baines kept ploughing on. box, not just defenders. The
:11:44. > :11:58.midfielders are doing their defensive duties superbly.
:11:59. > :12:07.Finally Arsenal have got it in. Guess who? Aaron Ramsey in the right
:12:08. > :12:11.place again. Now we might have a finish to this game because it
:12:12. > :12:13.certainly is not finished yet. Everton seemed to be a bit static
:12:14. > :12:22.and switched off in defence. Everton seemed to be a bit static
:12:23. > :12:38.and There is noise again from the Arsenal section.
:12:39. > :12:54.It is in. Olivier Giroud has scored. Jagielka misstep. It was Monreal's
:12:55. > :13:02.ball in. It should have been dealt with. Jagielka mistimed his jump.
:13:03. > :13:09.Arsenal have found a way to get back into this. Everton fans have just
:13:10. > :13:12.seen their team through the game away. Is that the case of 80 minutes
:13:13. > :13:19.excellent and ten minutes what happened? What happened is we ran
:13:20. > :13:24.out of energy and it was a feeling of wanting the game to end. We are
:13:25. > :13:29.not that kind of side where we can sit deep and profound. We are
:13:30. > :13:33.dynamic and we need to play with the ball. I was delighted with their
:13:34. > :13:37.performance for 80 minutes, the first half was phenomenal in the way
:13:38. > :13:44.we took control of the game. We looked a real threat and we kept
:13:45. > :13:47.Arsenal very quiet. 2-0 is dangerous because the opposition will throw
:13:48. > :13:52.everything at you with a bit of hope and if that hope gets in the net,
:13:53. > :13:59.you are in trouble. It is difficult to come back at this place when you
:14:00. > :14:05.are a 2-0 down. Everything went against us in the first half and
:14:06. > :14:13.just before half-time to concede the second goal we had a mountain to
:14:14. > :14:18.climb. But there was a foul and it was offside and we took it well and
:14:19. > :14:24.we responded in the way we wanted to play. Does that feel like a win? I
:14:25. > :14:27.think we played a much better second half and put the pressure on them
:14:28. > :14:32.all the time which was important for us. It does not feel like a win, but
:14:33. > :14:49.at the end it was great team spirit. dangerous score, I was fought it was
:14:50. > :14:52.a good score. Arsenal coming back. Very much like last week they did
:14:53. > :14:56.not play well for the vast majority of the game, they kept going,
:14:57. > :15:04.getting the three points, this week the same. They kept going, getting a
:15:05. > :15:10.point, probably not deserving it. In the first half they were poor. From
:15:11. > :15:15.Everton's point of view, I thought they were brilliant. Very similar
:15:16. > :15:21.tactics to last season, Lukaku on the right-hand side, Naismith
:15:22. > :15:25.upfront. The centre halves did not have anyone to mark. You were
:15:26. > :15:35.alarmed by some of the slackness from Arsenal? I was. I could not
:15:36. > :15:41.work out what they were doing defensively, so poor. No pressure on
:15:42. > :15:50.the ball, Barry knocking a very good ball in, Coleman on the end of it.
:15:51. > :15:54.We have Ozil circles, he should stay with his man, that is not the only
:15:55. > :16:00.mistake, you cannot play offside with no pressure on the ball.
:16:01. > :16:06.Mertesacker comes running out. Lukaku could've headed it in, it was
:16:07. > :16:12.Coleman. Very poor from Arsenal. Arsenal change their system, not
:16:13. > :16:14.playing in out and out striker, Sanchez playing centrally, we are
:16:15. > :16:20.not accustomed to seeing him play there. It did not work, they had no
:16:21. > :16:27.presence there. Nobody to attack the ball is in the box. The ball comes
:16:28. > :16:32.out wide, the first thought is get it in, but why? There is no Arsenal
:16:33. > :16:40.player in the box. I don't know where Sanchez is. Debuchy gets the
:16:41. > :16:47.ball, there is Sanchez. Can he help me? Help me find a pass? His arms
:16:48. > :16:55.are right up, will saying, where are you? The same happens for the
:16:56. > :16:59.Everton goal. All out wide, only really Ramsey in there. Wilshere
:17:00. > :17:06.tries to get in there. There is Sanchez. It is great strength from
:17:07. > :17:14.Lukaku, nudging Mertesacker off-the-ball, too quick for
:17:15. > :17:20.Chambers. The great power, direct, a great run from Naismith. Fortunate,
:17:21. > :17:25.it is offside, the linesman should spot it. Lukaku was brilliant.
:17:26. > :17:33.Arsenal trying to get the ball in the box. Not one touch in the
:17:34. > :17:37.18-yard box from Sanchez. That all changed at half-time. Wenger
:17:38. > :17:46.bringing Giroud on. They have someone, when the player pixies fed
:17:47. > :17:56.up, after 30 seconds. -- when the player picks his head up. That was a
:17:57. > :18:01.poor pass, the first thought get the ball in, this time Giroud was too
:18:02. > :18:08.strong. Arsenal kept going, a poor performance, not a good sign. Are we
:18:09. > :18:15.underselling Everton? I fought they were brilliant for 75 minutes. A lot
:18:16. > :18:20.of talk from Arsene Wenger, being defensive about Jack Wilshere? You
:18:21. > :18:26.had a close look? I think he looks very frustrated, Ramsey has
:18:27. > :18:32.overtaken him. He finds himself in good positions, the lack of a killer
:18:33. > :18:38.instinct. Passing and moving, has not got the yard of pace. Great
:18:39. > :18:43.under pressure, receiving the ball inside areas. Playing it simple.
:18:44. > :18:51.Knows what he's going to do, around the corner, continuing his run. Just
:18:52. > :18:55.a lack of pace. This could have been a red card. Diaz that aggression.
:18:56. > :19:02.Could have been a red card another day. He was substituted after 70
:19:03. > :19:08.minutes. Bringing Carzola on. They come back to draw 2-2. The big
:19:09. > :19:16.question is, will he stay in the team if everybody is fit? There are
:19:17. > :19:21.big question marks. I think Wenger has acknowledged it, and Jack has as
:19:22. > :19:27.well, he has to improve. He has had his fair share of injuries,
:19:28. > :19:28.averaging 20 games. Give him a run of games, he can be a pivotal
:19:29. > :19:31.player. 45 years ago this very month
:19:32. > :19:34.a young commentator made his Match Today he was back there for the game
:19:35. > :19:52.between Crystal Palace and West Ham. The crowd at Selhurst Park in August
:19:53. > :19:56.1969 were in celebratory mood, the team was about to play their first
:19:57. > :20:00.match ever in the top flight of English football, the First
:20:01. > :20:06.Division, simple titles in those days. Two-day's selection by the
:20:07. > :20:12.caretaker shows a three changes from last week, Delaney coming in for
:20:13. > :20:19.Scott Dann, Barry Bannan for the suspended Jason Puncheon. Joe Ledley
:20:20. > :20:26.was injured in the warm up. Lady luck is not on Sam Allardyce's side,
:20:27. > :20:30.losing James Collins to Wayne needless red card, in training Kevin
:20:31. > :20:36.Nolan injured his shoulder this week. James Tomkins has been at the
:20:37. > :20:43.club since he was a boy. The new boy is Mauro Zarate.
:20:44. > :20:48.A contest between two of the losers on the opening day, both sides
:20:49. > :20:55.contributing to their own failure, West am not getting shots on target,
:20:56. > :21:02.Crystal Palace by amazingly conceding goals on two set pieces. I
:21:03. > :21:14.say amazingly, very few occasions did that happen under Tony Pulis.
:21:15. > :21:25.That is a good, well hit cross. Good stuff after he sorted himself out. A
:21:26. > :21:29.brave attempt. Not easy for anybody. People speculating on who may come,
:21:30. > :21:38.possibly difficult for that man, Keith Millen, could be out of the
:21:39. > :21:42.job. I know Palace want to keep him, and the new manager may be invited
:21:43. > :21:49.to do that. As part of the agreement, he probably should be.
:21:50. > :22:01.There is the man who came late into the match, now hurt. Jess court buys
:22:02. > :22:16.Arata -- he was Jess court by Mauro Zarate.
:22:17. > :22:21.That is a nice turn. Ricardo Vaz Te. Zarate had the extra touch, he did
:22:22. > :22:30.not want it. Just trying to teams of up. Noble looking for some movement.
:22:31. > :23:03.Trying to get it through to noble again. Once more Ricardo Vaz Te.
:23:04. > :23:11.Corner. Murrow -- Mauro Zarate! The man from Argentina opens the
:23:12. > :23:20.scoring. A good shot initially by noble, and even better one,
:23:21. > :23:29.spreading the getting a hand to it. -- Julian Speroni getting a hand to
:23:30. > :23:39.it. A touch and cited. Mauro Zarate gets on the Premiership score sheet.
:23:40. > :23:46.Teddy Sheringham the attacking coach for West Ham, used to know where the
:23:47. > :23:59.net was. Stewart Downing, he can have a crack. He does! That is the
:24:00. > :24:07.way to do it. You could see the intention, a more importantly he
:24:08. > :24:12.could see the gap, placing the shot quite beautifully. Nobody challenged
:24:13. > :24:22.him, they were backing away. Crystal Palace, what is your answer?
:24:23. > :24:30.This particular Saturday, it is worth noting West Ham have not won
:24:31. > :24:39.here since 1991. That is the first corner of the second half. Number
:24:40. > :24:51.seven in the match. After the crossbar! -- that is off the
:24:52. > :24:55.crossbar. The goalkeeper was nowhere, partly off the post. A
:24:56. > :25:02.really good jump by Tomkins, unlucky. He has been with West Ham
:25:03. > :25:15.since he was a seven-year-old. Barry Bannan. Marouane Chamakh. Oh, yes!
:25:16. > :25:24.What a clean strike. Selhurst Park is suddenly a very different place.
:25:25. > :25:32.Dispatched with aplomb. Could not have been better placed. The next
:25:33. > :25:39.5-10 minutes should be interesting in terms of West Ham's approach.
:25:40. > :25:47.Very nearly did score another goal, West Ham, suddenly it is 2-1, you
:25:48. > :25:56.think... . All except Carlton Cole behind the ball. Barry Bannan, nice
:25:57. > :26:05.switch. Good strike. Back on his left.
:26:06. > :26:44.Stewart Downing defending at right back. A foul. That is number three,.
:26:45. > :26:51.A gift for Carlton Cole. Carlton Cole did not stand on ceremony. It
:26:52. > :26:59.was a poor headed clearance by Damien Delaney. He will have a
:27:00. > :27:05.difficult week ahead, he goes into it not knowing whether he will be
:27:06. > :27:13.able to find players to replace those he put out on the pitch, or
:27:14. > :27:25.whether he will be replaced. A good save, nice move by West Ham. Quality
:27:26. > :27:38.play. Downing's cross. Who would change places with him? Williams.
:27:39. > :27:54.That is a great ball by Williams. Good stop denying Murray. Straight
:27:55. > :27:58.into the chest of Adrian. An entertaining afternoon, particularly
:27:59. > :28:02.if your name is Sam Allardyce will stop his team have played well,
:28:03. > :28:08.problems for Keith Millen, clearly for Crystal Palace as a whole. For a
:28:09. > :28:12.brief moment the outcome was threatened by Marouane Chamakh's
:28:13. > :28:16.goal. West Ham were comfortable and good winners. You will enjoy
:28:17. > :28:24.watching that on match of the day to night? I well, I enjoy the programme
:28:25. > :28:28.last night, absolutely brilliant. Really pleasing to watch the years
:28:29. > :28:35.go by, as we talked about before the game. Certainly looking forward to
:28:36. > :28:40.the whole programme, particularly from our point of view, the
:28:41. > :28:44.performance, the way we controlled the game, the quality of our goals.
:28:45. > :28:52.We got everything right, what was lacking last week was the quality of
:28:53. > :28:58.the finishing. We could have scored more than we did today. When it was
:28:59. > :29:03.2-1, we shot ourselves in the first with the goal from the set piece.
:29:04. > :29:07.3-1 is difficult to come back from. We have played well in the last two
:29:08. > :29:20.games, probably for six points, that was not meant to be. To get Mauro
:29:21. > :29:24.scoring, and Carlton Cole is a plus. I thought we played well last week
:29:25. > :29:28.and last, again today, not the best of starts we will have to get on the
:29:29. > :29:32.training pitch and work even harder. You don't know whether you will be
:29:33. > :29:39.part of the club by the end of the week? I don't, you are right. I'm
:29:40. > :29:43.enjoying it, but it is tough. I had to make sure I keep bleeding the
:29:44. > :29:48.players, and I'm in charge at the moment, I continue doing my job, in
:29:49. > :30:10.tomorrow, the cup game on Tuesday, the transfer window shutting on
:30:11. > :30:15.Monday, a busy week. A terrific performance from West Ham. There was
:30:16. > :30:19.a veiled threat at the end of last season to Sam Allardyce that he has
:30:20. > :30:28.to get the results and also play entertaining football. Last season
:30:29. > :30:37.there was a perception of the way West Ham played. They had the least
:30:38. > :30:43.shots on target. Long passes they had done the most in the Premier
:30:44. > :30:46.League. I thought today they were absolutely brilliant. Sam Allardyce
:30:47. > :30:52.got his tactics spot on. Noble has been told to get the ball. If you
:30:53. > :30:59.are a midfield player and you do not get the ball, you go away from the
:31:00. > :31:10.play. He wants to drive at the back four. He was fantastic all
:31:11. > :31:15.afternoon. Noble gets the ball and he does a simple ball. West Ham were
:31:16. > :31:24.not lumping the ball into the box, it was measured play. Creswell
:31:25. > :31:40.should have hit the target. Around the corner, great play from Noble,
:31:41. > :31:47.he dictated play all afternoon. Alan Shearer will be proud of this one.
:31:48. > :31:59.What a strike that is. He was brilliant all afternoon. This is the
:32:00. > :32:03.goal. One touch play. Mao Rose take, they get numbers forward and they
:32:04. > :32:12.break the pace. Downing on the right wing. What a finish from Downing. I
:32:13. > :32:24.think Sam Allardyce deserves a lot of credit. Look at this, it was
:32:25. > :32:30.measured and they were brilliant against a rudderless Crystal Palace.
:32:31. > :32:37.My guess will be that he was told to bring a centre forward coach in
:32:38. > :32:44.rather than want to bring one in. Teddy Sheringham. The pressure was
:32:45. > :32:49.on him last season and the fans were on to him and they wanted it to be
:32:50. > :32:55.more entertaining and they brought one in. Whatever it is, it is
:32:56. > :33:01.working. Zarate's performance was terrific. Should he have had a red
:33:02. > :33:09.card? Yes, it should have been a red card. It was a bad foul. He was
:33:10. > :33:14.fortunate. He carried on unbelievably after that. You said
:33:15. > :33:18.Crystal Palace were rudderless and they wanted to appoint a new manager
:33:19. > :33:28.quickly. It was going to be Malky Mackay, that that clearly went the
:33:29. > :33:32.way because of reasons out of their control. They need somebody with
:33:33. > :33:37.Premier League experience. They need to get someone in quickly because of
:33:38. > :33:44.the transfer window, they need to have a look and bring some players
:33:45. > :33:52.in. Lennon has got Premier League experience. They beat Barcelona in
:33:53. > :33:56.the Champions League. Stamford Bridge next where Chelsea
:33:57. > :33:58.faced another of the newly promoted clubs, Leicester, following victory
:33:59. > :34:29.at Burnley on Monday night. Garfield has scored, Burnley take
:34:30. > :34:36.the lead! Chelsea are level. That was a beautiful, crafted goal by
:34:37. > :34:43.Chelsea. Chelsea have laid down a marker. Chelsea have kept seven
:34:44. > :34:48.clean sheet in their last eight home games. A tough first away game in
:34:49. > :34:57.the Barclays Premier League for Leicester. 50 years ago this weekend
:34:58. > :35:00.Chelsea were winning 3-0 against Wolves whilst Leicester shed six
:35:01. > :35:05.goals at Sunderland. Perhaps that should have been the first match of
:35:06. > :35:09.the day. Jose Mourinho has never gone three consecutive seasons
:35:10. > :35:14.without winning a Championship. Chelsea looked the part at Burnley
:35:15. > :35:24.on Monday. He keeps the same team that started at Turf Moor. It is
:35:25. > :35:48.still the Bald Court one, not Petr Cech in goal. -- Thibault Courtois.
:35:49. > :35:55.Just a lack of understanding. Chelsea look a little bit short on
:35:56. > :36:19.ideas at the moment. Diego Costa lost it. That was the
:36:20. > :36:25.first real shot in anger. It came from Leicester City. It was well
:36:26. > :36:33.saved. It was not that straightforward a stop. They are
:36:34. > :36:34.finding spaces in behind Chelsea's full-backs, left and right,
:36:35. > :36:51.Leicester. Morgan lost Diego Costa for a moment
:36:52. > :37:31.and then recovered. Schurrle in the box. That was a
:37:32. > :38:02.commander 's effort. Much better from Chelsea. It hit the
:38:03. > :38:14.woodwork and got a save out of Schmeichel.
:38:15. > :38:20.That was a good tackle. There is something about this Leicester team,
:38:21. > :38:39.no question about that. They are all appealing for a
:38:40. > :38:47.handball and Lee Mason is not interested. If an bitch and a good
:38:48. > :38:48.save by Schmeichel. They are all asking Lee Mason whether there was a
:38:49. > :39:12.handball. And David Nugent was through and
:39:13. > :39:18.Thibault Courtois saved. What a chance for a Leicester City to take
:39:19. > :39:22.the lead. On his home debut he makes the same. A really good save by the
:39:23. > :39:47.Chelsea keeper. -- the save. Schmeichel was equal to it. The
:39:48. > :39:51.keeper would not go down. That is what Cesc Fabregas was hoping for.
:39:52. > :40:01.Schmeichel would not commit and was not beaten. This is a difference
:40:02. > :40:13.Chelsea second half. Branislav Ivanovic. And it is Diego Costa. The
:40:14. > :40:21.right man in the right place in the nick of time. Just past the hour
:40:22. > :40:27.mark. Leicester are finally undone. Diego Costa makes it two in less
:40:28. > :40:33.than two games for Chelsea. Branislav Ivanovic kept his feet
:40:34. > :40:38.superbly. Diego Costa profited. Nothing Schmeichel on the line could
:40:39. > :40:43.do. He kept his composure and he kept his feet. A goal had been
:40:44. > :41:06.coming. Right through Schmeichel. Eden
:41:07. > :41:12.Hazard makes it two and surely makes the game safe. Eden Hazard gets
:41:13. > :41:25.Roman Abramovich and Stamford Bridge out of their seats. It was deflected
:41:26. > :41:34.off Morgan and that is what beats Schmeichel. Off the toe of Wes
:41:35. > :41:43.Morgan. And here comes Didier Drogba. And it is to a rapturous
:41:44. > :41:49.ovation. How happy is he that he brought him back? Diego Costa makes
:41:50. > :41:55.way and Stamford Bridge rises as one. From those in the cheapest
:41:56. > :42:12.seats to those in the most expensive for Didier Drogba, back at Chelsea.
:42:13. > :42:32.Mark Albrighton for Leicester. Thibault Courtois has made a couple
:42:33. > :42:42.of decent saves in the Chelsea goal. That was a good try. A swerving shot
:42:43. > :42:48.which Kasper Schmeichel did well to tip over. We are disappointed. Key
:42:49. > :42:53.moments did not quite go our way today. I thought we played
:42:54. > :42:59.exceptionally well in the first half. Unfortunately, it is about
:43:00. > :43:04.taking your chances when you get them and we were unable to do that.
:43:05. > :43:11.But there are more positives today than negatives. It is Arsenal next.
:43:12. > :43:16.It is a vicious star, Everton, Chelsea, Arsenal. That is what you
:43:17. > :43:21.want. The reason you play in the Premier League is to play against
:43:22. > :43:25.all the good Premier League teams. We are enjoying being here and we
:43:26. > :43:30.want to stay here. If we play like we did in the first-half, we have
:43:31. > :43:36.got a good chance of doing that. We did not play very well in first half
:43:37. > :43:41.and we suffered counterattacks against us. We did not feel
:43:42. > :43:48.comfortable at all. We needed a wake-up call from the coach as well
:43:49. > :43:52.at half-time and we reacted very well. We started pressing higher and
:43:53. > :43:58.higher and getting more second balls in the second half and getting
:43:59. > :44:05.chances and getting into their box. We felt we really played much better
:44:06. > :44:13.in the second half. I spoke to the Chelsea manager Jose-Maria near. I
:44:14. > :44:20.imagine you had strong words at half-time? I would not say strong,
:44:21. > :44:25.objective. We were not playing well enough to win the game. In the
:44:26. > :44:32.second half, from minute one, completely different. They had a big
:44:33. > :44:35.chance, face to face with the goalkeeper. That was the only thing.
:44:36. > :44:46.In the second half they could not stop us. You have mentioned
:44:47. > :44:55.Courtois, he made some key saves? Chelsea are used to it over the last
:44:56. > :44:59.ten years, Petr did the same for us. The goalkeeper for a big team is
:45:00. > :45:05.the kind of player who does not touch the ball a lot, but has to
:45:06. > :45:08.keep his concentration and be there in the big moments. Was it a tough
:45:09. > :45:17.decision going with Courtois over Cech? I love my players, I respect
:45:18. > :45:26.them a lot, I tried to be super professional. I tried to think about
:45:27. > :45:31.my club before my players. If I can be great to the players and the
:45:32. > :45:34.club, the perfect situation, but if I had to choose between the club and
:45:35. > :45:43.the players, I have to choose the club. The point is not the quality,
:45:44. > :45:53.Petr is an amazing goalkeeper, what made me have the decision was the
:45:54. > :45:58.fact the kid is 22, he only has a couple of years in his contract, if
:45:59. > :46:03.he does not play, he will leave Chelsea, in one year's time he will
:46:04. > :46:10.be a free agent. I made a decision for the team, he is answering in a
:46:11. > :46:16.great way. At the other end, Diego Costa has started well, a gold in
:46:17. > :46:21.both games. He is a goal-scorer, both his goals asked Riker's goals,
:46:22. > :46:29.the goals you score a lot. He sees it, going between the legs of the
:46:30. > :46:35.opponent and the goalkeeper. This is what we need, a striker to score
:46:36. > :46:40.goals, and he's doing that. Interesting stuff. Particularly on
:46:41. > :46:46.Courtois, the reason why he has gone with him, he was a vital component.
:46:47. > :46:52.I thought he played well, I think it is the right decision, he won the
:46:53. > :46:56.league in Spain last year, playing in the Champions League final, he is
:46:57. > :47:03.ready to start otherwise they lose him. His performance today, full of
:47:04. > :47:13.confidence, very good, when he was called upon, he made himself really
:47:14. > :47:18.big. Saving the game for them. This was his first save against Burnley.
:47:19. > :47:25.Full of confidence, getting off to a good start. A basic one, awkward.
:47:26. > :47:29.Bouncing in front of him. This time, it is better, taking a
:47:30. > :47:38.deflection off Cahill. Standing tall. Getting it away with his legs.
:47:39. > :47:42.He has a presence, defenders love it when the goalkeeper takes the
:47:43. > :47:49.pressure off them. His distribution is good. Great forro, putting
:47:50. > :47:55.Chelsea on the attack. This is the most important save, at 0-0. If this
:47:56. > :48:02.goes in a different story. The way he gets out, makes and sells big,
:48:03. > :48:06.Nugent should score. I don't know what he's doing looking at the
:48:07. > :48:14.linesman, should get his head down, hit it and score. A very good save.
:48:15. > :48:19.You look at his presence, taking the pressure off the defenders, does it
:48:20. > :48:23.again late in the game. His performance was brilliant. Watching
:48:24. > :48:30.that chance, you knew that could prove costly. It was at 0-0, that is
:48:31. > :48:35.the difference between the Premier League and the Championship. In the
:48:36. > :48:43.Championship you get a couple more chances. David Nugent has to take
:48:44. > :48:47.those. At the other end, Chelsea had someone who did. Pretty much
:48:48. > :48:52.everybody knew what they needed last season. They have a goal-scorer,
:48:53. > :48:59.someone perfect for the Premier League. Jose Mourinho mention right
:49:00. > :49:08.place, right time, absolutely, that is not a fluke. He will also run in
:49:09. > :49:14.behind. That creates space. This time Schurrle takes it off him. He
:49:15. > :49:21.will hold it up, you have to do that as a centre forward. Players will
:49:22. > :49:26.run off him. Goes into the box, pulling out, a decent strike,
:49:27. > :49:34.deflected over. They will be strongly here, they have someone who
:49:35. > :49:39.can hold it up. Fabregas will run on, Schurrle will run on. Hazard
:49:40. > :49:48.will run on. Good ball, does not work out. His defensive side is OK.
:49:49. > :49:55.What is impressive, he starts the move. Watch his determination to get
:49:56. > :50:02.into the box. That is where all good strikers want to end up because they
:50:03. > :50:08.score goals. He started the move. He gets his goal, a very good one. The
:50:09. > :50:15.pace the ball comes at him, he does not have time to think. That is not
:50:16. > :50:20.a fluke, that is excellent control. He takes it away from the defender,
:50:21. > :50:29.slotting it away. He has no time to think, right into his path. After
:50:30. > :50:36.the game Jose said he was not that impressed with him. He got his
:50:37. > :50:42.goals, it took drop a while to settle in. Leicester played well? I
:50:43. > :50:47.was impressed with them last week how they fought back against
:50:48. > :50:51.Everton, today, for large parts of the game, especially the first half,
:50:52. > :50:59.they did well. If that chance for Nugent goes in, a different game.
:51:00. > :51:10.Three more games coming up. Welcome to Match of the Day Two. That is
:51:11. > :51:17.what he can do. Look at his face, just look at his face. What an
:51:18. > :51:22.extraordinary incident. That is good enough to win the league, the cup,
:51:23. > :51:26.the World Cup, even the Grand National. We have never had it as
:51:27. > :51:30.good in England as far as football is concerned.
:51:31. > :51:39.You can also watch the first ever Match of the Day, on the red button
:51:40. > :51:44.in the morning. Following us... With three defeats from three, a
:51:45. > :51:49.nightmare start for Fulham under Felix Magath. They are facing one of
:51:50. > :51:55.the favourites for promotion, Derby County. A real good feeling for
:51:56. > :52:00.Nottingham Forest unders Stuart Pearce. Also the East Anglia Derby.
:52:01. > :52:06.Not forgetting all the goals from League 1 and League 2. Join us after
:52:07. > :52:13.Match of the Day, or Sunday morning when we are repeated at 9am on BBC
:52:14. > :52:20.Two. Tremendous spirit in this Hereford side, they are not giving
:52:21. > :52:28.this up, Radford. Radford again, what a goal. What a goal at! Radford
:52:29. > :52:33.the scorer, Ronnie Radford. The crowd are invading the pitch. They
:52:34. > :52:39.will take time to clear the field. What a tremendous shot by Radford,
:52:40. > :52:44.he got behind all of that. Heating it from outside the penalty area, no
:52:45. > :52:51.goalkeeper in the world would have stopped that. What a goal! I miss
:52:52. > :52:59.the muddy pitches. A little piece of history made at the Liberty Stadium.
:53:00. > :53:01.Swansea, fresh from beating Manchester United
:53:02. > :53:03.on the opening day, met Burnley for the first time in
:53:04. > :53:15.Lukas Fabianski makes his deadly. Gylfi Sigurdsson is reacquainting
:53:16. > :53:22.himself with the Liberty Stadium after a two year spell at Spurs.
:53:23. > :53:28.Burnley are unchanged. Things look different for them before the title
:53:29. > :53:36.favourites exerted their class, giving them a harsh reality check.
:53:37. > :53:47.Here is Danny Ings. Just off target, not by much. Falling to his left
:53:48. > :55:19.hand side, not quite so Not enough to prevent the
:55:20. > :56:23.goal-scorer. That was a half chance. That was not a bad ball either. It
:56:24. > :56:30.did not look as if it was going to arrive at the striker's feet, but he
:56:31. > :56:41.did. Under pressure from Williams. He gets a corner.
:56:42. > :56:58.Plenty forward for Burnley. He should have put it on target. There
:56:59. > :57:06.are hands on heads all over. He had a wonderful opening. He flicked it
:57:07. > :57:15.over. Just over 20 minutes to go. Sean Dyche will feel his side ought
:57:16. > :57:29.to be level. Now Jones right across the face of the goal.
:57:30. > :57:43.All they have to show for their efforts is a corner. Good ball, good
:57:44. > :57:48.goalkeeping. The first chance at Swansea have had in reality in this
:57:49. > :57:57.second half. It was a lovely ball in by Montero. But he did exceptionally
:57:58. > :58:08.well. Burnley have not got much time now. Driven forward by Heaton.
:58:09. > :58:15.Barnes on the town and over the bar and in that moment the point I
:58:16. > :58:18.Swansea's. The defeat is for Burnley. The newly promoted side
:58:19. > :58:24.will have learnt another harsh lesson. I knew that would be a tough
:58:25. > :58:28.game today. In the first half we controlled it, but in the second
:58:29. > :58:32.half as we expected Burnley were going to throw everything at us and
:58:33. > :58:39.we have to give them great credit with that attitude. When you get
:58:40. > :58:44.promoted some of the players wonder I write for this division? In the
:58:45. > :58:48.first half we showed them too much respect. In the second half we
:58:49. > :58:54.reminded them of the freedom they have got to play with. Everyone
:58:55. > :58:59.expect it not to happen for us. I said, go out and express yourselves,
:59:00. > :59:04.and in the second half I thought they did. I thought the quality of
:59:05. > :59:12.the players, the movement and the energy was there in the second half.
:59:13. > :59:16.But we will own quickly. It is great to have six points after two games,
:59:17. > :59:22.but it is down to the players and the attitude they have got. I said
:59:23. > :59:27.you will need each other all season and in experiences like we had in
:59:28. > :59:36.the second half. To limit them to one shot on target shows we had a
:59:37. > :59:43.great defence. They caused Burnley all sorts of problems in the first
:59:44. > :59:50.half. Especially when you have got pace outside. All afternoon they
:59:51. > :59:55.were a real threat in wide areas. Shelby's range of passing in
:59:56. > :00:01.midfield. On this occasion they combined the winners and they set up
:00:02. > :00:06.a great chance. They were great at Old Trafford last week and again
:00:07. > :00:11.there is a range of passing and they stay wide. They offer real pace and
:00:12. > :00:17.a real threat. Sigurdsson from midfield as well. I think six points
:00:18. > :00:24.from six and Gary Monk is doing exceptionally well. The full-back
:00:25. > :00:31.had a very bad afternoon to be fair. But they build up from the back as
:00:32. > :00:36.well. When you know you have got pace on either side, you can gamble
:00:37. > :00:41.as a forward. They stretch teams and it gives you as a centre forward
:00:42. > :00:46.more chances. It was a very good finish. One on one with these guys
:00:47. > :00:51.you know what they are going to do. A tough opening week for Burnley. It
:00:52. > :00:55.is always tough when you first come up. They have earned the right to be
:00:56. > :00:59.in this league, but you cannot start and play in the second half because
:01:00. > :01:03.you cannot do that in any game, let alone in the Premier League.
:01:04. > :01:08.West Brom have never won an away game in the Premier League
:01:09. > :01:12.Today they travelled to face a Southampton side beaten at
:01:13. > :01:22.Jonathan Pearce was at St Mary's stadium.
:01:23. > :01:27.The new boss one old home and has brought in promising replacements
:01:28. > :01:39.for the departures. Alan Irvine also names and unchanged
:01:40. > :02:16.side. It is an more difficult task for his
:02:17. > :02:20.team today than it was at Anfield. Nobody expected anything at Anfield,
:02:21. > :02:40.but there is a weight of expectancy on his shoulders for this game.
:02:41. > :02:53.He could not get up and rise high enough. An error of judgement by Ben
:02:54. > :03:02.Foster and his defenders. Alan Irvine, the new manager, he is very
:03:03. > :03:05.respected in the game. Got results at Sheffield Wednesday. Was with
:03:06. > :03:17.David Moyes on the coaching staff at Everton.
:03:18. > :03:25.West Bromwich Albion have got plenty of players back. That was a decent
:03:26. > :03:30.block by wisdom. Southampton when they get the ball in the final third
:03:31. > :03:43.are not moving it quickly enough. But that was a good, low save by
:03:44. > :03:48.Foster. He had to readjust. A significant half-time change for
:03:49. > :03:55.Southampton. On comes Shane Long for his Saint Mary's debut to face his
:03:56. > :04:03.former club. He scored 22 goals in 87 games for West Bromwich Albion.
:04:04. > :04:09.They bought him for ?6 million, half of the fee paid by sales. -- the
:04:10. > :04:29.Saints. The side netting only. Good movement
:04:30. > :04:33.in the box by Brown Ideye. Got in front of his marker, but could not
:04:34. > :04:41.find the target. That was a big chance. Those are brothers. Ronald
:04:42. > :05:05.was a good player. Malone boots as he got the ball. He
:05:06. > :05:17.wrapped his foot around the big man and over he went.
:05:18. > :05:30.That was a really good effort. And Southampton claim the corner. My
:05:31. > :05:50.first reaction was it was a good save. It clipped the outside of the
:05:51. > :05:58.post. That was brilliantly done, but ran forward by Big Ben forester. A
:05:59. > :06:02.lovely town. And he saw the goalkeeper, an enormous giant,
:06:03. > :06:09.spreading himself quickly in front of him. How do you see that as your
:06:10. > :06:17.first game in charge? Difficult. It was very difficult and we did not
:06:18. > :06:26.play well. Add chilli in moments in passing. We know they are very well
:06:27. > :06:33.organised. They stayed very compact and we did not have the quality to
:06:34. > :06:38.create a lot. I think both teams had their spells during the game when
:06:39. > :06:42.they controlled things. We obviously came here knowing they were a good
:06:43. > :06:47.side and it is important our organisation is good and we got
:06:48. > :06:52.possession. I felt it was. When we had possession we passed it quite
:06:53. > :06:57.nicely but without creating a lot. We maybe had the best chances. The
:06:58. > :07:02.tempo could have been better. Although they sat very deep they
:07:03. > :07:06.came here for the point and nothing else in my opinion. It was their
:07:07. > :07:13.strategy. But I think we should have created a little bit more. It is
:07:14. > :07:19.fair to say that was not a classic. Two draws to start the season. Brown
:07:20. > :07:26.Ideye came on as a substitute. 10 million quid. I don't think Alan
:07:27. > :07:30.Irvine had seen him play, but he looked lively enough when he came on
:07:31. > :07:37.and he was on for about 35 minutes. He pulled away very well to the far
:07:38. > :07:45.post. The movement is very good. The skill to get in there is excellent.
:07:46. > :07:49.A very good save. He had 33 goals in 74 for Kiev. He has not had any
:07:50. > :07:54.pre-season training, so we will have to watch out for him. It is a lot of
:07:55. > :07:59.money to pay for somebody you have not seen playing. As for Southampton
:08:00. > :08:04.it is early days and a new look side. They were very good against
:08:05. > :08:11.Liverpool last week and they were put today. I think they could get
:08:12. > :08:18.relegated. It is early days. You said that about Swansea. If you
:08:19. > :08:23.spread your umbrella wide, you will capture three by the end of the
:08:24. > :08:35.season. Let's hear from the man who has made more match of the day
:08:36. > :08:41.appearances than anyone else. John Watson was at Villa Park as Paul
:08:42. > :08:51.Lambert's team looked to build on victory at Stoke against Newcastle
:08:52. > :09:07.who lost on the opening day did the champions. Carlos Sanchez is an the
:09:08. > :09:22.bench. I think Newcastle have set a trend. They have improved their
:09:23. > :09:31.shirt numbers. It is a great boost for commentators. A great chance for
:09:32. > :09:33.N'Zogbia. It landed on top of the net. He had the chance to score
:09:34. > :09:53.against his old club. Kieran Richardson was well forward
:09:54. > :10:00.as well. Mike Dean has given the free kick already. A bit of a
:10:01. > :10:09.tangle. Call-back was in a bit too strongly. Fabian Delph goes away and
:10:10. > :10:17.it has been hit by N'Zogbia. He missed the whole of last season.
:10:18. > :10:23.That did not miss by much. Tim Krul was scrambling across his goal.
:10:24. > :10:29.Right on 17 minutes the Newcastle fans remember the two supporters who
:10:30. > :10:31.were tragically killed in the crash of the flight game age 17, John
:10:32. > :10:59.Alder and Liam Sweeney. Alan Pardew applauds the move. Villa
:11:00. > :11:18.word just stretched. He had time to measure that. He stabbed it wide.
:11:19. > :11:36.Two French players combining well. Riviera from Monaco will be looking
:11:37. > :11:41.to brush up on his finishing. How N'Zogbia would love to do something
:11:42. > :11:48.against his old club. Well, he has done something, he has given them a
:11:49. > :12:03.free kick. A yellow card for N'Zogbia. Jack Colback will take
:12:04. > :12:11.this. Williamson with a header in, but it was turned over by Brad
:12:12. > :12:16.Guzan. A really good effort. Aston Villa's victory at Stoke last week
:12:17. > :12:19.was their first away in ten attempts since New Year's Day, but now they
:12:20. > :12:59.really need to turn it on at home. Daryl Janmaat, his second effort. He
:13:00. > :13:05.is a like-for-like replacement with Debuchy having gone to Arsenal. He
:13:06. > :13:17.is making an impression. The English coach is here today. There is a foul
:13:18. > :13:23.on Darren Bent by Williamson. It is going to be a yellow card. Darren
:13:24. > :13:30.Bent trying to forage forward and he was just flattened. You never know
:13:31. > :13:38.in the Premier League. You think you are looking at 0-0, and things can
:13:39. > :13:46.change in an instant. It is a new combination in the front or
:13:47. > :13:53.Newcastle. Great save. No wonder Brad Guzan is thought of so highly
:13:54. > :14:01.because DeJong nearly marked it with a winning goal. When he got in I
:14:02. > :14:14.thought he was going to score. Brad Guzan will be the American number 14
:14:15. > :14:24.year whilst Howard has arrest. Has he overrun this one? Mike Dean goes
:14:25. > :14:32.to his pocket, two yellows make a red, Mike Williamson has to go. It
:14:33. > :14:38.was Fabian Delph he took out. Williamson is off. Newcastle have
:14:39. > :14:46.two end the game in stoppage time with ten men. I just felt when you
:14:47. > :14:55.bring in a lot of flair players, new players, they are eager to do well,
:14:56. > :15:01.they rushed the moment. Remy Cabella looked a little bit tense, but he
:15:02. > :15:05.will get it, and create. With every game, every training session we are
:15:06. > :15:11.coming together, guys are getting into a groove. Hopefully for us it
:15:12. > :15:14.is about looking up. Two clean sheets, four points in two games is
:15:15. > :15:16.a fantastic start. is about looking up. Two clean
:15:17. > :15:22.sheets, four points in two games We have guys coming in, Benteke, Joe
:15:23. > :15:32.Cole, things are looking really positive. Two Paul James to finish,
:15:33. > :15:39.party poopers. A few new players around, what about Newcastle? They
:15:40. > :15:44.have everything except scoring? Last week they created chances without
:15:45. > :15:49.putting them away. In the first after day, the build-up play was
:15:50. > :15:54.pretty poor, they created a couple of chances, but failed to take them.
:15:55. > :16:01.They have width on the right-hand side. The build-up play was poor,
:16:02. > :16:06.that was one of the instances. This falls nicely at the far post, little
:16:07. > :16:13.deflection. He has two score, at least hit the target. Paul Dummett
:16:14. > :16:23.looks up. A poor ball. Exactly the same on the other side with
:16:24. > :16:30.Williamson, knocking a ball long. They did create chances in the
:16:31. > :16:37.second half. They will regret these. It falls at the far post, decent
:16:38. > :16:44.position. As to get the target. Siem de Jong came on, he may add some
:16:45. > :16:50.quality. They did create some chances, it is not panic. The time
:16:51. > :16:55.to worry is when you are not creating them. There are plenty of
:16:56. > :17:05.things to work on. As for Aston Villa, a few new faces, new faces on
:17:06. > :17:11.the bench. Not a bad start. , if you look at it, they have not conceded.
:17:12. > :17:17.He has brought some experience back, Charles N'Zogbia, Hutton, Darren
:17:18. > :17:23.Bent. Positive start from Aston Villa, they have tough games coming
:17:24. > :17:32.up, Liverpool, City, Chelsea. Did you tip them to go down, to? I think
:17:33. > :17:40.I did. 13 teams? Someone has to go down! Thank you very much gentlemen,
:17:41. > :17:44.we are about out of time. Let's have a look at the table. Very early
:17:45. > :17:59.days. Chelsea sit joint top, just that
:18:00. > :18:08.they -- just as they did at the very first Match of the Day.
:18:09. > :18:21.Stoke, Crystal Palace and Newcastle the only teams without a goal.
:18:22. > :18:33.The Telegraph says Manchester United may pay ?60 million for Angel Di
:18:34. > :18:37.Maria. Liverpool have come back in reaction to the claims that Mario
:18:38. > :18:44.Balotelli will have a good behaviour clause. We will leave you with the
:18:45. > :18:50.voice of James Alexander, the voice of the football results, who passed
:18:51. > :18:59.away this week. Southampton zero, West Bromwich Albion zero. Aston
:19:00. > :19:05.Villa 0-0 Newcastle United. Everton 2-to Arsenal. Chelsea 2-0
:19:06. > :19:16.The stars of the summer are back on UK soil
:19:17. > :19:20.Who will produce their golden moment?
