:00:00. > :00:09.Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
:00:10. > :00:14.COMMENTATOR: Goals came and went. And, Keegan.
:00:15. > :00:17.Look at his face! Just look at his face!
:00:18. > :00:20.Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:21. > :00:24.What a goal. Oh, what a goal.
:00:25. > :01:17.Robin Schulz featuring Francesco Yates
:01:18. > :01:20.It's been another day of twists and turns in the most open Barclays
:01:21. > :01:24.Plenty for Danny Murphy and Ian Wright to ponder
:01:25. > :01:32.Can they still produce over 90 minutes?
:01:33. > :01:38.We start with the day's early game which saw leaders Manchester City
:01:39. > :01:40.The visitors have often struggled at the Britannia Stadium.
:01:41. > :01:43.Last season's victory was their first in the Premier League.
:01:44. > :01:51.COMMENTATOR: Windy conditions at Stoke games aren't unusual. There is
:01:52. > :01:56.added extra that could have an affect on how things play out today
:01:57. > :02:01.as the edge of Storm Desmond batters the Britannia. Going from last
:02:02. > :02:06.weekend's linedup at Sunderland, Mark Hughes has made a couple of
:02:07. > :02:11.changes. Cameron and Afellay play. It's the same sort of formation that
:02:12. > :02:16.was played by Liverpool in their 4-1 at Manchester City two weeks ago.
:02:17. > :02:20.For the visitors, no Yaya Toure, no Sergio Aguero and still no Vincent
:02:21. > :02:26.Kompany. But still not a bad looking side, even without three such key
:02:27. > :02:29.players. The Fernando is fit and comes back. Joe Hart is back in goal
:02:30. > :02:57.after missing two matches. Sagna. Away by De Bruyne. Bojan on
:02:58. > :03:03.it. Shaqiri. Gets the return from Johnson and tries to take the long
:03:04. > :03:10.way round Fernando. Round he goes, and pass Kolarov. A good ball in,
:03:11. > :03:15.and it's finished. Arnautovic puts Stoke in front. Superbly anticipated
:03:16. > :03:21.that by the big Austrian. How well made was it by the little Swiss?
:03:22. > :03:27.Stoke's first meaningful foray down field of the afternoon. Shaqiri all
:03:28. > :03:32.about determination, but a bit of pace and trickery too. Fired across
:03:33. > :03:39.the middle. Hart hesitant. You couldn't use that word at all to
:03:40. > :03:46.describe Arnautovic. Fernando left behind. Kolarov, too. As Hart looked
:03:47. > :03:56.at Depp demd and vice versa, Arnautovic is in ahead of Sagna --
:03:57. > :03:59.Demichelis. Stoke are making it impossible for Manchester City to
:04:00. > :04:04.get any sort of rhythm going on the ball. Maybe now with De Bruyne. Wins
:04:05. > :04:10.the race. Wollscheid, overcommitted. Saved by Butland. De Bruyne was
:04:11. > :04:23.looking for a fourth goal in his last three games. Here's Cameron.
:04:24. > :04:31.Kolarov is there with him. Great work by Shaqiri. Knew where Fernando
:04:32. > :04:34.was. Knew what he do with it. Stoke City get another. Marko Arnautovic
:04:35. > :04:39.gets another. It's the same combination. There's a plan at work,
:04:40. > :04:48.and it's being executed perfectly. Marko Arnautovic gets two. Two in 15
:04:49. > :04:53.minutes for Stoke. Shaqiri, again. Wonderful spin away from Fernando.
:04:54. > :04:57.Pass weighted perfectly. Arnautovic with a fine finish. Another one!
:04:58. > :05:04.That's a difficult one to take. Look at this? Running away from Sagna.
:05:05. > :05:08.The he has a look at goal early, and he has to go first time. The
:05:09. > :05:18.confidence is surging through Stoke City.
:05:19. > :05:30.Great work by Pieters. Now Whelan. Curled away from Demichelis. It's
:05:31. > :05:36.only just wide from Arnautovic. Well, they're all at it in Stoke
:05:37. > :05:40.stripes. Pieters and Whelan with a wonderful combination. Manchester
:05:41. > :05:44.City, unbeaten in the Premier League this season when captain Vincent
:05:45. > :05:47.Kompany has been in their side. They've lost three of six without
:05:48. > :05:55.him. It looks like being four of seven at the moment. Fernandinho to
:05:56. > :05:59.Silva, Sterling. Kolarov's coming. Oh, Kolarov nearly squeezed it in.
:06:00. > :06:04.Like he did against Southampton a week ago. That's a boot from Butland
:06:05. > :06:08.and the ball onto the post. It's another important stop by England's
:06:09. > :06:19.number two, or number one if you're a Stoke fan. Sterling has to work.
:06:20. > :06:27.Johnson is at it again. Onside, again. Is Arnautovic? Hat-trick
:06:28. > :06:33.chance. Hart is out to meet him. Goodness me. This movement is quite
:06:34. > :06:37.wonderful. It's the man behind, Demichelis, who is playing
:06:38. > :06:42.Arnautovic on. You just wonder how much the slip cost him here. As he
:06:43. > :06:54.strikes it, standing foot just slides away. Fernandinho. A chance
:06:55. > :07:00.for Stoke to break here. Afellay to Shaqiri. He's at it again, swerves
:07:01. > :07:10.and tricks and flicks. And, he's been fouled. By Otamendi, who gets
:07:11. > :07:18.the first booking of the game. Shake hake has been the real are star of
:07:19. > :07:28.the show today. Kolarov sold short by that. Great chance here again for
:07:29. > :07:33.Bojan. Saved by Hart. It's just wide from, you know who, Marko Arnautovic
:07:34. > :07:41.once more. Joe Hart has just kept Manchester City in the game with
:07:42. > :07:50.that big, strong hand. Demichelis, again, forced to hurry. Here's
:07:51. > :07:57.Bojan. Finds Arnautovic. Shaqiri couldn't get the touch. More
:07:58. > :08:04.backheels, more instinctive touches paying off for Stoke City. You can
:08:05. > :08:06.see there, Arnautovic is quite deliberately and unselfishly trying
:08:07. > :08:17.to set up Shaqiri and return a couple of favours. Measured ball to
:08:18. > :08:24.Johnson. Shaqiri. He's got another one through. Bojan. Hart has blocked
:08:25. > :08:35.him. It's cleared off the line by the retreating Demichelis. What a
:08:36. > :08:40.pass again from Shaqiri. Fernando has limped from the field. The
:08:41. > :08:44.chance of winning this game has just become a great deal slimmer. They
:08:45. > :08:48.are playing with 10 for the rest of it. Delph. He's going to have to do
:08:49. > :08:53.the work of two men in the midfield now. Sterling to Iheanacho.
:08:54. > :08:59.Sterling. I think the wind is getting worse down that end. Here's
:09:00. > :09:06.Kolarov. He went to try to smack it in. That's a very good day to be a
:09:07. > :09:13.Stoke fan. On course for a sixth win in nine Premier League games. This
:09:14. > :09:19.is a big scalp. I was pleased from start to finish to be perfectly
:09:20. > :09:21.honest. It arguably was a complete performance by ourselves. In terms
:09:22. > :09:28.of what we talked about before the game, about what we wanted to do in
:09:29. > :09:31.the game, and it was great from that respect because you can talk all you
:09:32. > :09:35.like it's up to the guys to implement what you want them to do
:09:36. > :09:39.and carry it out. That is what they did. It's not just because we defend
:09:40. > :09:44.very bad in the first two goals they had. We didn't have too many chances
:09:45. > :09:50.to score. Without reaction from the last games, we are playing with 13
:09:51. > :09:57.players in all the competitions. Against difficult team as Stoke
:09:58. > :10:01.here. They played really well. A few of the lads feeling it from the
:10:02. > :10:05.amount of games we are playing. That's not an excuse, at the level
:10:06. > :10:09.we are going to be at, we need to turn out, you noi, seven out of ten
:10:10. > :10:13.at least every week and then we need to rely on some players to produce
:10:14. > :10:18.eight, nines. That is how we should be playing and we're not. We didn't
:10:19. > :10:22.today. Credit to Stoke, they served to play. Your partnership with
:10:23. > :10:27.Arnautovic seems to be coming along? We train in the training all day,
:10:28. > :10:34.all week. The coach wants this in the game. We tried in the game. I
:10:35. > :10:39.thought today we was very good. Our friendship was very, very good. We
:10:40. > :10:45.won't tell defenders who ares willening, when will we see the flip
:10:46. > :10:49.flap again Soon, maybe soon. He is full of tricks. Terrific today. At
:10:50. > :10:52.times like this sometimes we can concentrate on the inept towed of
:10:53. > :10:56.the side towards the top of the table. Stoke deserve their praise.
:10:57. > :11:01.Magnificent weren't they? The best Stoke performance I think I've ever
:11:02. > :11:05.seen. It was that good much I was surprised at the formation. Midfield
:11:06. > :11:13.three. I haven't seen that before. Bojan was a striker. Turned out to
:11:14. > :11:13.be a master stroke. The front three tore
:11:14. > :11:14.Bojan was a striker. Turned out to be a master stroke. The front three
:11:15. > :11:19.tore Manchester City apart from early in the game to the 90th
:11:20. > :11:24.minute, constantly causing them problems. Bojan was playing up the
:11:25. > :11:27.pitch. His awareness, skill, close control. He was brilliant
:11:28. > :11:33.throughout. As with a this man, Shaqiri. This is the first goal,
:11:34. > :11:38.after five minutes. Fantastic move. Great little bit of skill, seems to
:11:39. > :11:42.be fitter now. Little step over and a great ball in. That man,
:11:43. > :11:45.Arnautovic, getting in off that left-wing, where he should be more
:11:46. > :11:49.often, by the way. Again, Shaqiri looking for his mate. What a superb
:11:50. > :11:54.pass that is. Great finish. Precision. It carried on. He's
:11:55. > :11:58.strong much help wants the ball, Shaqiri, in dangerous areas.
:11:59. > :12:02.Arnautovic is drifting now. Threatening the goal now. Last
:12:03. > :12:06.season he wasn't doing that so much. With Bojan at the vocal point they
:12:07. > :12:09.had someone who was aware of their movement and runs. Second-half it
:12:10. > :12:15.continued. How City didn't concede more, I don't know. Bojan skipping
:12:16. > :12:18.past people like they are not there. Arnautovic could have had four or
:12:19. > :12:23.five today. He was on the end of all the good moves. Again Bojan and his
:12:24. > :12:27.close control. The three linking. Not the best shot from Shaqiri. He
:12:28. > :12:32.has a better left auto foot than that. The midfield lads pressing.
:12:33. > :12:35.The front three know something will happen. Look at the confidence. They
:12:36. > :12:40.have missed him. Why he is not shooting there, I don't know. You
:12:41. > :12:46.would never have passed that. Can't believe that. Could have scored a
:12:47. > :12:51.hat-trick. We have given Stoke their deserved eulogy if you like. City,
:12:52. > :12:56.failed to win again, what is wrong When you look at the defending of
:12:57. > :13:00.City, like Danny said, you can't take anything from what Stoke did
:13:01. > :13:04.today. City's defending. Fernando, in with Shaqiri. He goes to ground.
:13:05. > :13:08.The he goes to ground. Then you look up in the top corner there,
:13:09. > :13:11.Arnautovic, he's got the march on him already on Sagna. His body
:13:12. > :13:16.position is wrong. Had a look for him. Not seen him. Have another
:13:17. > :13:21.look. Arnautovic is gone. Inside him, he can't let him get inside him
:13:22. > :13:26.there. Easy gone. Fernando dives in. Shaqiri beats him. Now, he's on the
:13:27. > :13:29.right side. This is about desire now. Demichelis can go back four or
:13:30. > :13:34.five yards. This is all about the ball now. Fantastic ball. Brilliant
:13:35. > :13:39.finish. The defending, very, very good. Missing that fella? They are
:13:40. > :13:44.missing him so much. If you look at their statistics, incredible. Eight
:13:45. > :13:46.games with him, no losses. Seven games without him four losses. They
:13:47. > :13:53.talk about injuries to other players. He's the crucial man. He's
:13:54. > :13:56.the leader. They have missed a few players out their spine, Toure and
:13:57. > :13:59.Aguero. He is complaining 13 players fit and lots of big games. It's
:14:00. > :14:05.Manchester City they have so much wealth, how does that happen? I have
:14:06. > :14:09.no sympathy. We counted up the front four ?160 million. They can't make a
:14:10. > :14:15.chance today. Attack it. Defensively they were poor. Attacking wise they
:14:16. > :14:20.were even poorer. OK. City's defeat meant Leicester would go top with a
:14:21. > :14:24.victory at Swansea after scoring in 11 consecutive games, Jamie Vardy
:14:25. > :14:30.was targeting the all-time top-flight record of 12 set back in
:14:31. > :14:33.1932. Swansea, with just one win in ten were the oppositioning. At the
:14:34. > :14:44.Liberty Stadium Conor McNamara. Already more goals than any
:14:45. > :14:50.Leicester City player has managed in an entire campaign in the Premier
:14:51. > :14:55.League. Bafetimbi Gomis start the season in fantastic form, but today
:14:56. > :15:01.he is looking for his first goal since August. As much as Leicester
:15:02. > :15:06.City have been a surprise package, Swansea City's poor form has been a
:15:07. > :15:09.big surprise, and it victory today for Garry Monk would go a long way
:15:10. > :15:26.towards keeping the walls from the door.
:15:27. > :15:35.Kyle Bartley was forced by Jamie Vardy to take another touch. Jamie
:15:36. > :15:40.Vardy has profited by finishing goals this season, but it is work
:15:41. > :15:47.like that, chasing lost causes, that have been a huge part of his
:15:48. > :15:53.success. It is over the line. The celebration by Riyad Mahrez. His
:15:54. > :15:59.ninth goal for Leicester City this season. They could be going to the
:16:00. > :16:04.top of the Premier League tonight. He is one of the smallest men on the
:16:05. > :16:11.pitch. Riyad Mahrez did not get off the ground at all. He was able to
:16:12. > :16:18.smuggle it through. It came off his rib cage. It is a really good start
:16:19. > :16:23.for Leicester City. Swansea City find themselves behind again.
:16:24. > :16:28.Swansea beat Manchester United at the end of August, they moved up to
:16:29. > :16:39.fourth place. They have had one victory since. There has been no
:16:40. > :16:46.threat at all for the home side. It is saved by Lukas Fabianski from
:16:47. > :16:53.Jamie Vardy. Jamie Vardy chasing the all-time record of 12 straight games
:16:54. > :16:55.scoring in the top flight of English football, and he is denied by Lukas
:16:56. > :17:23.Fabianski. Riyad Mahrez makes it 2-0, with
:17:24. > :17:26.complete ease. It is too easy. Leicester City almost nonchalant
:17:27. > :17:33.lake over the halfway line, look at the space for Riyad Mahrez. Was he
:17:34. > :17:38.offside? Lovely control and finish. Swansea might have a complaint about
:17:39. > :17:43.whether he was in an offside position of the pass was released
:17:44. > :17:49.from N'Golo Kante. But the goal has been given. Swansea find themselves
:17:50. > :17:58.2-0 down with 22 minutes on the clock. A deflection off Neil Taylor,
:17:59. > :18:11.but no doubt about it from Riyad Mahrez, his 10th goal of the season.
:18:12. > :18:30.Again, Lukasz Fabianski saves one-on-one. Not for the first time
:18:31. > :18:34.in the game. I wonder if there was a chance to set it up for Jamie Vardy.
:18:35. > :18:43.Would that have been the better option?
:18:44. > :18:55.Swansea are at home, it is almost half-time, they have not managed a
:18:56. > :19:00.shot yet. That really should have been 3-0. Leonardo Ulloa scored
:19:01. > :19:03.against Swansea the last time they met. It was almost a case of pick
:19:04. > :19:18.your spot. That will be a free kick. Ki
:19:19. > :19:22.Sung-Yeung will be meat of the sandwich Christian Fuchs and Robert
:19:23. > :19:27.Huth. You can only imagine the scene in the Swansea dressing room at
:19:28. > :19:29.half-time, Garry Monk will have been stressing that his team should have
:19:30. > :19:47.a good start to the second half. Jefferson Montero has just come on.
:19:48. > :19:52.A really good header from Ki Sung-Yeung. He is yet to score this
:19:53. > :20:05.campaign, he got eight goals last season. Kasper Schmeichel was not
:20:06. > :20:06.near it. That sums up Swansea's day. Swansea looking to get Jefferson
:20:07. > :20:19.Montero into the game. It was just too high. There has been
:20:20. > :20:29.a marked improvement from Swansea since the break.
:20:30. > :20:39.It is the hat-trick. Leicester City proving what a team they are, Jamie
:20:40. > :20:44.Vardy, chasing the record, does not go for goal, he sets up the
:20:45. > :20:50.hat-trick for Riyad Mahrez, who has now scored 11 goals this season.
:20:51. > :20:57.Leicester City are going to the top of the Premier League tonight. There
:20:58. > :21:01.are to grow and grow. With all the talk around Jamie Vardy, Leicester
:21:02. > :21:03.City prove they have more than one man who knows where the back of the
:21:04. > :21:16.net is. This time it is over the top.
:21:17. > :21:22.Chasing a goal in the 12th consecutive Premier League game, to
:21:23. > :21:30.continue the run, to match Jimmy Dunn from 1932. He has had chances
:21:31. > :21:32.today, Jamie Vardy, he knows that. He still has over a quarter of an
:21:33. > :21:45.hour to get that goal. Swansea just lacking the forward
:21:46. > :21:50.thrust. A really good shot, they have hit the woodwork. He could
:21:51. > :22:00.hardly have hit that any sweeter. Just the sense that the Wolves are
:22:01. > :22:09.beginning to circle. 20 seconds of stoppage time remaining. Appeals for
:22:10. > :22:16.a penalty of the hands of Ashley Williams. Jamie Vardy goes down, the
:22:17. > :22:20.referee is not interested. They would love a penalty to set up a
:22:21. > :22:25.scoring chance for Jamie Vardy. There is the full-time whistle.
:22:26. > :22:36.Jamie Vardy's goal-scoring run comes to an end, but Leicester City's
:22:37. > :22:43.story might just be beginning. It is very difficult to analyse it,
:22:44. > :22:49.but I am extremely disappointed for the fans, for the players. It is not
:22:50. > :22:56.acceptable. I am fully aware of that. It is for me to put it right.
:22:57. > :23:02.We won, we are top of the league, I have scored a hat-trick, so I feel
:23:03. > :23:08.very good, I am very happy. The first hat-trick in my small career.
:23:09. > :23:13.I am very happy. You are going to be a target for the other teams, but
:23:14. > :23:19.your players are dealing with it well, they are relaxed, they are
:23:20. > :23:25.smiling. Yes, we don't have pressure, our pressure is to do our
:23:26. > :23:35.best, match after match, that is our goal. Now there will be a rock
:23:36. > :23:42.against us, Chelsea, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester City. It is
:23:43. > :23:48.good to see how we react. So inspiring! Top scorers in the
:23:49. > :23:53.league, the only team to score in every game, the top two
:23:54. > :23:58.goal-scorers, top of the table, but I will not gloat! A lot of talk
:23:59. > :24:03.about Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy, but you are going to pick out
:24:04. > :24:06.somebody else, a hidden gem. I would be disappointed if I have scored a
:24:07. > :24:12.hat-trick and did not get analysis, but N'Golo Kante... Give a brother a
:24:13. > :24:18.chance! He was absolutely phenomenal today. He has been brilliant all
:24:19. > :24:24.season. He has gone under the radar a bit. He is good at all aspects. A
:24:25. > :24:30.nice pass, getting the team up the pitch. Can he see a pass? Yes, he
:24:31. > :24:37.picks out Riyad Mahrez for the second goal. He also has the
:24:38. > :24:42.tenacity and willingness to get after people and Wimbledon back
:24:43. > :24:45.interceptions, tackles. It is crucial when you have the attacking
:24:46. > :24:50.players are around you, you need somebody who can put his foot in. He
:24:51. > :24:57.takes a whack, he gets them on the attack. Look at that for
:24:58. > :25:01.anticipation. Somebody in the middle of the park who has got every aspect
:25:02. > :25:09.of midfield play. Can he see a pass? What a ball that is. The only
:25:10. > :25:16.thing missing so far is goals, but that will come if he keeps getting
:25:17. > :25:21.in good areas. That is for the hat-trick, he has won 40 yards with
:25:22. > :25:28.the ball. Game over. His performance, nobody in the Swansea
:25:29. > :25:32.midfield could get close. The most in the elite interceptions, by a
:25:33. > :25:38.long way. His fitness levels and energy, while, he looks incredible.
:25:39. > :25:45.A great signing, for just a few million. It did not quite happen for
:25:46. > :25:50.Jamie Vardy, he is in a slump! I was gutted for him, he had chances. He
:25:51. > :25:55.made this one himself. He is too straight. He does not give himself
:25:56. > :26:03.an angle. He cannot get himself around it. This deserved a goal. It
:26:04. > :26:08.was nonchalant, but why not? I thought he could have been a bit
:26:09. > :26:15.more ruthless. A super run. The pass from N'Golo Kante is fantastic. The
:26:16. > :26:20.way he has been scoring, 11 on the spin, with those chances, I thought
:26:21. > :26:28.he would have scored. Less good news for Swansea. Struggling, one victory
:26:29. > :26:32.in 11, no goals in seven of those games, Garry Monk takes
:26:33. > :26:36.responsibility. Will he get the chance to turn it around? I hope so,
:26:37. > :26:40.it is a stark contrast from the beginning of the season. They have
:26:41. > :26:45.lost confidence, the way they play is not helping, because they are
:26:46. > :26:50.trying to play out from the back, they are all over the place
:26:51. > :26:55.defensively. The second game at home that they have conceded two in the
:26:56. > :26:58.first 20 minutes. The next couple of games are huge. One of those is
:26:59. > :27:00.Manchester City away. It's three games without a win
:27:01. > :27:03.for Arsenal who started the day Sunderland arrived at the Emirates
:27:04. > :27:20.having won three of their last five Petr Cech has waited five weeks to
:27:21. > :27:23.keep his record equalling Premier League clean sheet. Four of the last
:27:24. > :27:29.seven games between these clubs have ended goalless. The injuries mean a
:27:30. > :27:36.switch to central midfield for Aaron Ramsey. Sunderland are also hit by
:27:37. > :27:41.injuries. Fabio Borini and Duncan Watmore come in, it is only Duncan
:27:42. > :27:49.Watmore's second Premier League start. Sunderland have a poor record
:27:50. > :27:50.at Arsenal, they have not won at Arsenal since November 1983, at
:27:51. > :28:12.Highbury. They could have taken the lead
:28:13. > :28:19.through Borini. Oh, what a chance that was. Sam Allardyce's plan to
:28:20. > :28:23.play Borini wide on the right nearly came off in the opening stages.
:28:24. > :28:28.Borini, who was through really on Petr Cech. So close, perhaps, to
:28:29. > :28:34.what may prove to be one of Sunderland's best chances. Watmore
:28:35. > :28:38.is down the left hand side. Mertesacker is the defender. He has
:28:39. > :28:48.given him more space than he should have done. If he gets a cross in
:28:49. > :28:51.here - which he did - Borini. Again, Arsenal are just not focused back
:28:52. > :28:54.there. Borini, with two defenders, who should have done their job,
:28:55. > :28:58.leaving it to Petr Cech for the second time much the faces of the
:28:59. > :29:04.supporters suggest there is an uneasiness inside the Emirates. It
:29:05. > :29:10.may be stating the obvious, but you can see how Arsenal are going to
:29:11. > :29:17.miss the likes of Cazorla and Sanchez. Having said that. Perhaps
:29:18. > :29:21.they are not going to miss them. Campbell for Arsenal. Scored at
:29:22. > :29:28.Swansea. Now opens his Premier League account at the Emirates. Puts
:29:29. > :29:32.a dummy in his mouth, but he certainly sold one to the Sunderland
:29:33. > :29:37.defence. When Arsenal were looking a little bit strained. They survived a
:29:38. > :29:46.rocky opening period, but this is how quickly football can change.
:29:47. > :29:50.He's got the better of him. Slid the ball under Pantilimon. Campbell
:29:51. > :29:55.gives Arsenal the lead. Through the legs of the goalkeeper. That sends a
:29:56. > :30:08.wave of relief around the greater part of the Emirates Stadium. Ha-ha!
:30:09. > :30:11.Watmore was fouled by Koscielny. A yellow card for Koscielny, that's
:30:12. > :30:20.for sure. I don't think that was a very good challenge. Watmore
:30:21. > :30:24.certainly doesn't! Sunderland have a free-kick. M'Vila will take it.
:30:25. > :30:31.Coming up to half-time. Near-post ball. Oh, it's in. I think it's a
:30:32. > :30:35.Giroud own-goal. He was sold a dummy at the near-post. Sunderland have
:30:36. > :30:40.equalised right on half-time. Olivier Giroud, who is used to
:30:41. > :30:47.scoring at the other end, has brought Sunderland the equaliser.
:30:48. > :30:51.Driven in low. Watch the dummy. He was expecting a Sunderland player to
:30:52. > :30:57.come in behind him. Instead, it ricocheted off Giroud and past Petr
:30:58. > :31:01.Cech whose chances of equalling the clean sheet record have disappeared.
:31:02. > :31:07.1-1. Even when Arsenal scored, I felt they looked vulnerable at the
:31:08. > :31:11.other end. It's proved so. So what lies ahead for Arsenal in this
:31:12. > :31:14.second-half? They didn't start the first half very well. They will be
:31:15. > :31:18.looking for a better beginning to the second. This is Watmore, picking
:31:19. > :31:25.it up from Fletcher. Fletcher, again. Oh, a scram bling save by
:31:26. > :31:32.Cech. He has pushed the ball out for a corner. Arsenal, still not looking
:31:33. > :31:43.comfortable. Kaboul has come forward. Oh, off Petr Cech, again.
:31:44. > :31:52.Appeal it has crossed the line. Fletcher is on the ground. Here's
:31:53. > :31:56.the corner. Taken by M'Vila. Well, Petr Cech made a good save. Kept the
:31:57. > :32:11.ball the right side of the line from Steven Fletcher. Campbell. Ozil.
:32:12. > :32:24.Here's Monreal. Ramsey. Oh, a chance. And it's in! Olivier Giroud
:32:25. > :32:30.puts Arsenal in front for the second time. He's made it 10 for the
:32:31. > :32:38.season, Giroud. So Giroud has now scored at both ends here. Good
:32:39. > :32:42.near-post header, took it well. Monreal joining the attack as well.
:32:43. > :32:49.Giroud, just glideded that in really. And, Pantilimon beaten by
:32:50. > :32:53.his near-post here. In the meantime, Theo Walcott has come on in place of
:32:54. > :32:58.Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. This is the sort of period they will want him to
:32:59. > :33:01.play in he's going to prove his fitness for Olympiakos on Wednesday.
:33:02. > :33:13.There he goes, down the middle. Ozil. Walcott, again. Just jabs it
:33:14. > :33:20.across the goal rather than forward. Well, Arsenal have now - oh, another
:33:21. > :33:24.chance. Oh, goodness me. Bellerin joining the attack there. Could have
:33:25. > :33:29.made it 3-1. This second-half has hinged on two incidents. The one
:33:30. > :33:33.when Petr Cech made a goal-line save from Steven Fletcher, and then the
:33:34. > :33:40.poacher, Olivier Giroud, at the other end, making it 2-1 to Arsenal.
:33:41. > :33:47.Giroud, again! Off the line this time by Yedlin. Arsenal look an
:33:48. > :33:52.altogether more potent force. Well, Yedlin was perfectly placed there to
:33:53. > :33:58.head that off the line from Giroud. Here's Yedlin. Sunderland are still
:33:59. > :34:03.probing away here. There's a run by Watmore, the flag has stayed down.
:34:04. > :34:06.It's Duncan Watmore who scored from that kind of position against Stoke
:34:07. > :34:11.last week. I thought he was going to do it again. Well, this young man is
:34:12. > :34:16.going to go places, isn't he? Every time you see him, he's running at
:34:17. > :34:21.defenders and didn't quite get the angle right this time. Whatever you
:34:22. > :34:25.say about this Sunderland performance you would say they are
:34:26. > :34:31.showing a resistance and spirit under Sam Allardyce. Rodwell. Oh,
:34:32. > :34:39.they have a chance on the far... And he's missed it. Van Aanholt had a
:34:40. > :34:45.chance to equalised for Sunderland much he strikes it too high.
:34:46. > :34:50.Otherwise Sam Allardyce would have been celebrating an equaliser.
:34:51. > :34:55.Gibbs. This is Ozil. He has tucked it back to Ramsey, who looked odds
:34:56. > :34:59.on to score and make it 3-1 for Arsenal. Those chances are ones
:35:00. > :35:04.normally that Ramsey would take. Sunderland got the block in. I don't
:35:05. > :35:12.think I've ever been in a crowd here which has been quite as edgy as
:35:13. > :35:16.this. This is Monreal. This could ease their nerves, Ramsey. Touched
:35:17. > :35:24.on by Gibbs to Walcott. Walcott can square this, surely. It's Ramsey.
:35:25. > :35:30.And, Arsenal have gone 3-1. Aaron Ramsey gets the clinching goal.
:35:31. > :35:35.Arsenal seal the points. Walcott got a touch, first of all. When it came
:35:36. > :35:38.back across the six-yard line, Ramsey, who had one saved a minute
:35:39. > :35:44.or two earlier, he wasn't going to miss again. It's 3-1 Arsenal. Aaron
:35:45. > :35:46.Ramsey and the Emirates can breathe a shy of relief because three points
:35:47. > :35:50.here now belong to a shy of relief because three points
:35:51. > :35:53.here now belong to Arsenal. I believe that we started a Bittner
:35:54. > :36:00.vows and edgy in the first half and wanted just to make sure we do the
:36:01. > :36:05.job well. To say this Premier League is a battle, every game you must
:36:06. > :36:09.give credit to Sunderland as well. They played a quality game,
:36:10. > :36:13.well-organised. Always dangerous on the break. That makes the game
:36:14. > :36:19.difficult. The encouraging thing is the performances and the chances we
:36:20. > :36:23.created against Arsenal on their own patch. The disappointed we didn't
:36:24. > :36:29.convert it to get our lead. Which goal did you prefer the first or
:36:30. > :36:36.second? The first one was not easy to put in. The second one I liked
:36:37. > :36:40.the second one because I had a good cross at the right time and right
:36:41. > :36:45.place. Very much so. Important victory for Arsenal, Ian. I suppose
:36:46. > :36:49.Ramsey, who you picked out, was pivotal in that victory Yes. Most
:36:50. > :36:53.touches, passes and shots. I apleased he is playing down the
:36:54. > :36:57.middle. Played in the midfield with Flamini. You know with Aaron Ramsey
:36:58. > :36:59.wants to get forward and in the box. That is what he
:37:00. > :37:04.wants to get forward and in the box. That is what he does. Great play
:37:05. > :37:10.from Monreal. Picks Borini's pocket. He will get on the edge of the box.
:37:11. > :37:13.Unfortunate, misses the target. The worrying thing is, Ramsey is in
:37:14. > :37:18.there. Flamini is in there as well. Is that bad? I think so. He is the
:37:19. > :37:21.holding player. You want him to be back in case, to stop the
:37:22. > :37:26.counter-attack. Here, this is brilliant play from him. Monreal
:37:27. > :37:30.goes inside. He peels off the back of Yedlin. This is the goal here.
:37:31. > :37:33.Brilliant ball. All the pace and width. Giroud does brilliantly to
:37:34. > :37:37.direct it in. What he does there is fantastic. Ozil again, fantastic
:37:38. > :37:40.pass. You see him running off M'Vila, he is pointing to someone to
:37:41. > :37:47.pick him up. Maybe he should have been doing. Gets in front of the
:37:48. > :37:50.ball, does a side ways scissor kick. Unfortunate. The ball is stuck in
:37:51. > :37:56.the middle of his feet. Outside of the foot. A toe-poke may have helped
:37:57. > :37:59.him out there. He gets his goal. Going forward, nice ball back to
:38:00. > :38:03.Gibbs. Stays in the play. Gets himself back on side. Ball out to
:38:04. > :38:08.Callum, he has a shot which deflects in to him. Because he is in the box
:38:09. > :38:11.he gets the goal. I'm delighted. Listening to Sam Allardyce in the
:38:12. > :38:14.interview saying lots to be encouraged by. At the same time,
:38:15. > :38:17.they made opportunities, but they missed them. It could have been
:38:18. > :38:21.different the game in Borini had scored early on? Absolutely. Four
:38:22. > :38:26.minutes in. They get a break here. Watmore does very well. Fletcher
:38:27. > :38:29.does well. He plays him in. It's a really good pass from him. I think
:38:30. > :38:32.this is a poor touch. He has a poor touch. He could get another touch in
:38:33. > :38:39.there. We will see it from the other angle I think he is rushing. I don't
:38:40. > :38:43.know why he is rushing. Don't panic. He is behind you. Don't panic. Watch
:38:44. > :38:47.here, Monreal is too far away. Mertesacker, he can get a touch in.
:38:48. > :38:51.When we see it from the other angle. When he has the shot. You see it
:38:52. > :38:54.from here. All on his feet. Sidefooting. Wants to get power in
:38:55. > :38:59.that. That needs to be with the laces. It's a poor touch. In his
:39:00. > :39:05.feet. He has to side-foot that will not trouble someone like Petr Cech.
:39:06. > :39:08.Defeat for Sunderland things look more encouraging than perhaps a few
:39:09. > :39:12.weeks ago, would you say? Much more encouraging much I thought they
:39:13. > :39:16.played better today than certain games I've seen them win. Organised.
:39:17. > :39:21.They made chances. They had a bit of bad luck and poor finishing. More
:39:22. > :39:31.performances like that I think they will be fine. As Sam said if
:39:32. > :39:36.Jermaine Defoe was on the end of that I would fancy him.

:40:56. > :41:07.COMMENTATOR: Begovic may have kept three successive clean sheets but
:41:08. > :41:11.Courtois is straight back in the Chelsea side after missing 17 games
:41:12. > :41:26.with a knee injury. Still in a bid and on the bench is Diego Costa.
:41:27. > :41:29.Like Courtois, bore riz is back. Eddie Howe admits that Boruc is
:41:30. > :41:42.feeling a niggle in his troublesome knee. Forward from Daniels -- Boruc.
:41:43. > :41:47.Willian through. Pushed away by Artur Boruc. Cleared after a fashion
:41:48. > :41:50.from Surman. Not out of the woods yet, Bournemouth. Not with Fabregas
:41:51. > :41:57.in that position. Surman got a head on it, again. Gave the ball away in
:41:58. > :42:06.a dangerous position there, Bournemouth. It's been a really good
:42:07. > :42:09.start to this game. Interesting that Eden Hazard, picked by Jose Mourinho
:42:10. > :42:13.to play upfront, has yet to score this season. Diego Costa, who is
:42:14. > :42:21.sitting behind him only has four. It's four more than the Belgian.
:42:22. > :42:28.Fabregas at the heart of this. Miss placed pass by Pedro. He can play
:42:29. > :42:33.him here. Stanislas sight of goal. The follow-up. Has he taken too
:42:34. > :42:39.long? Blocked by Matic. Chelsea are lucky they are not behind. This was
:42:40. > :42:46.a really important save from Thibaut Courtois. Bournemouth on the
:42:47. > :42:51.counter, direct and quick. Good save. Josh King, that touch there
:42:52. > :42:58.did him really. He was struggling to get a shot away. Take nothing away
:42:59. > :43:03.from Courtois. That is a good stop. Neat one-two, again. Gosling gets
:43:04. > :43:07.forward. King. Courtois with another good save. Twice now Bournemouth
:43:08. > :43:18.might have found themselves in front. Good movement by King. He hit
:43:19. > :43:22.it low, hard and on target. Surman has given it to Pedro. Good ball
:43:23. > :43:28.first time from Pedro to Eden Hazard. The Pedro is looking for the
:43:29. > :43:34.return. Hazard. Well hit. Well saved by Boruc.
:43:35. > :43:41.It was a lovely ball from Pedro, he tore down the middle to look for the
:43:42. > :43:47.return. This was a good save by Artur Boruc, the first he has had to
:43:48. > :43:58.make. What an interesting game this has been so far.
:43:59. > :44:08.It is a good stop by Artur Boruc. The really important search. Pedro,
:44:09. > :44:17.second attempt, he has curled it. A good hand from Artur Boruc.
:44:18. > :44:27.After borage stood up well. Both goalkeepers coming back from knee
:44:28. > :44:40.injuries, they can be pleased with their first half contributions.
:44:41. > :44:47.Would he have put that away if he did not have a broken nose and cheek
:44:48. > :44:49.bone? We will never know. The flick of the head of Steve Cook might have
:44:50. > :45:13.been crucial. Appeal for handball, nothing doing.
:45:14. > :45:19.It was Simon Francis who was making the block, it has hit his arm. I
:45:20. > :45:27.don't think you can say that was a deliberate act.
:45:28. > :45:37.Charlie Daniels has got forward from left-back.
:45:38. > :45:43.He has won a corner, much to the delight of the travelling fans
:45:44. > :45:47.behind the goal, it is their first corner of the second half. The first
:45:48. > :45:53.time those travelling fans have seen the play at close quarters for quite
:45:54. > :45:58.a long time. It has mostly been down the other end. If they cheer like
:45:59. > :46:06.that for a corner, imagine if they score.
:46:07. > :46:19.Glenn Murray has put it in! He has headed Bournemouth in front. The
:46:20. > :46:22.classic suck a punch sees Bournemouth take the lead at
:46:23. > :46:28.Stamford Bridge. Less than nine minutes to play. Glenn Murray, who
:46:29. > :46:34.has only been on the pitch for a couple of minutes, has put them in
:46:35. > :46:41.front. Thibaut Courtois did not deal with it, and Glenn Murray's header
:46:42. > :46:46.put the visitors ahead. Thibaut Courtois did not get a touch on it.
:46:47. > :46:56.Is Glenn Murray onside? I think he is just off. There is only Gary
:46:57. > :47:00.Cahill between him and the goal. I would suggest there is only Gary
:47:01. > :47:09.Cahill between him and the goal, and he is marginally offside, but
:47:10. > :47:20.offside. Does he care? Not a lot. A minimum of four added minutes.
:47:21. > :47:32.Gary Cahill recovered really well. But then he gave it to Harry Arter,
:47:33. > :47:37.who almost made it two. They have had some fine days in their history,
:47:38. > :47:46.and AFC Bournemouth have beaten the champions at Stamford Bridge. An
:47:47. > :47:51.historic result for them. It is probably the biggest result in
:47:52. > :47:56.our history. When you come to the champions, a side like Chelsea, we
:47:57. > :48:00.were expecting a tough game, we got it, but we could defend really well,
:48:01. > :48:05.and we looked a constant menace, especially in the first half. The
:48:06. > :48:17.goal came at a great time. We created chances, we had half
:48:18. > :48:23.chances. We had a clear penalty as well that the referee did not see.
:48:24. > :48:31.If that from the Diego Costa cross? Handball, it is a penalty for sure.
:48:32. > :48:43.But that is the game. We are upset, with a victory you are getting back
:48:44. > :48:48.up there. But after the victory, we have to regroup, Tuesday in the
:48:49. > :48:54.Champions League and Monday at Leicester City. You just got your
:48:55. > :49:00.head on it first? I am pretty sure! Charlie Daniels is trying to tell me
:49:01. > :49:05.otherwise, but it is my goal! We are gaining confidence, and I feel it is
:49:06. > :49:11.beginning to pay off. We can start with the goal. Jose
:49:12. > :49:19.Mourinho thinks it might have been offside. It is level at best. It is
:49:20. > :49:27.really tight. It took us quite a while. You have got to give them
:49:28. > :49:32.that one. Look at the trouble they have had, the injuries they have
:49:33. > :49:38.had. Just level. He said it was handball, penalty. If you are the
:49:39. > :49:45.manager, you think it is a penalty, but I don't. He is already down. It
:49:46. > :49:54.is how you interpret the rule, and let's not get into it. It is not a
:49:55. > :49:57.penalty. Bournemouth, Eddie Howe said it is the greatest result in
:49:58. > :50:03.their history, a fabulous performance, they are growing into
:50:04. > :50:07.their Premier League pounds. The most pleasing thing would be the way
:50:08. > :50:11.they got it, the manner in which they played. When you are in the
:50:12. > :50:16.bottom three, to play with this confidence at the champions is
:50:17. > :50:20.incredible. I talked about Swansea earlier not doing it, being too
:50:21. > :50:24.nervous, Bournemouth played like a side that are mid-table with no
:50:25. > :50:30.worries, passing it about. This is at the start of the game. The
:50:31. > :50:36.midfield three were excellent. Dan Gosling playing it to Joshua King, a
:50:37. > :50:41.good save I Thibaut Courtois. Chelsea had their moments, but
:50:42. > :50:46.Bournemouth matched them, they were confident, they played height of the
:50:47. > :50:48.pitch, they got men forward. This does not look like a side in the
:50:49. > :50:55.bottom three. It is gorgeous football. On another day, they could
:50:56. > :50:59.have had a goal in the first half. They have gone a bit in the second
:51:00. > :51:05.half, of course, but thoroughly deserved it. Bournemouth have scored
:51:06. > :51:09.more goals than Chelsea, a lot of teams have, they are struggling in
:51:10. > :51:16.front of goal. They have one goal in the last four, Willian has six,
:51:17. > :51:21.Diego Costa has three. They have been told, get the ball in the box,
:51:22. > :51:28.there is nobody in there. Willian is trying to get in there. If you do
:51:29. > :51:33.not pick a striker... Exactly. He has got to be so precise to get that
:51:34. > :51:43.to Oscar. It is not a bad ball, but nobody on the end of it. Gary Cahill
:51:44. > :51:49.and Diego Costa vacate the area. Watch where are the borage takes
:51:50. > :51:56.this, he does not even jump. It is a great cross from Willian. That is
:51:57. > :52:01.the money markets, look where Diego Costa is. Would you look at why they
:52:02. > :52:09.are not scoring, that is then no's their number nine. 44 crosses today.
:52:10. > :52:12.Bournemouth ran ten kilometres more than Chelsea, quite impressive. That
:52:13. > :52:14.shows a lot about their desire. Watford have already matched
:52:15. > :52:17.the five victories they recorded in the whole of their last
:52:18. > :52:20.Premier League campaign. Norwich were
:52:21. > :52:34.the visitors to Vicarage Road. Watford's goalkeeper has recovered
:52:35. > :52:37.from the head injury that led to him being stretchered off last weekend
:52:38. > :52:42.individually at Aston Villa, so he plays. It is all change in goal for
:52:43. > :52:48.Norwich, Declan Rudd replaces John Ruddy. It is his first league
:52:49. > :52:51.appearance for Norwich in four years and three months since a defeat to
:52:52. > :52:59.West Bromwich Albion in September 2011. Two victories and two draws in
:53:00. > :53:09.front of their home fans, Watford, they have gathered more points on
:53:10. > :53:13.the road. Watford have a penalty. He has been hauled down to the floor.
:53:14. > :53:18.It is a yellow card for Alexander Tettey. Norwich created all of their
:53:19. > :53:24.own problems. He mis-controlled the ball. It was one backed by Etienne
:53:25. > :53:29.Capoue, Odion Ighalo surging forward. Alexander Tettey with the
:53:30. > :53:35.challenge, he conceded a penalty. He got his foot on the ball. The last
:53:36. > :53:38.time he played in the league, Declan Rudd saved a penalty from Peter Ord
:53:39. > :53:43.on Wednesday. It was against West Bromwich Albion. Over four years
:53:44. > :53:49.on, he is back in a league match for the first time for Norwich, but he
:53:50. > :53:54.is beaten. He could not keep that out from Troy Deeney, who keeps on
:53:55. > :54:02.scoring, for matches in a row, five in his last six in their Premier
:54:03. > :54:07.League. An excellent spot kick. Declan Rudd was nowhere near it.
:54:08. > :54:30.Sent the wrong way. You could not even see him on the replay.
:54:31. > :54:38.Odion Ighalo was there, and the flag has gone up. Straightaway, against
:54:39. > :54:45.Odion Ighalo, he thought he had made it two. It was a close call, but I
:54:46. > :55:00.think he was unlucky to see that chalked off by the officials.
:55:01. > :55:03.Jose Manuel Jurado got a nudge in the back from Graham Dorrans, a free
:55:04. > :55:19.kick to Watford. A good stop by Declan Rudd. Great
:55:20. > :55:23.stuff from Odion Ighalo and Watford, he was almost in full what
:55:24. > :55:26.would have been their second goal. See you later. Declan Rudd made the
:55:27. > :55:52.block. Norwich looking to start the second
:55:53. > :55:54.half on a positive note. Robbie Brady, the Republic of Ireland
:55:55. > :56:11.International, sending that wide. It was comfortable for Heurelho
:56:12. > :56:16.Gomes, but the trailers have been called on quickly, Nathan Ake on the
:56:17. > :56:24.ground. Watch the Watford number 16. It was a horrible fall. It was a
:56:25. > :56:30.very nasty fall for Nathan Ake. It is great to see. He will have a
:56:31. > :56:43.stiff neck, but he will have settled for that.
:56:44. > :56:52.It was right underneath the referee's knows, the yellow card for
:56:53. > :57:00.Ben Watson. They have been the better team, but it is still a
:57:01. > :57:17.slender lead. Heurelho Gomes glad to get his mitts on the ball.
:57:18. > :57:24.Very nearly making it two. Sebastien Bassong and Ryan Bennett were
:57:25. > :57:35.outmanoeuvred by the Watford striker. Alex Neil's team will be
:57:36. > :57:46.heading for a night of the season. -- nice defeat. The save from Declan
:57:47. > :57:50.Rudd. How many chimes has Odion Ighalo almost scored today? That is
:57:51. > :57:52.not even counting the time that he did when it was ruled out for
:57:53. > :58:14.offside. Odion Ighalo cannot quite apply the
:58:15. > :58:20.finishing touch. He looks to the sky as if to say, what more do I have to
:58:21. > :58:25.do to get on the scoresheet today? He has got the beating of the
:58:26. > :58:36.Norwich defence here. Declan Rudd just get his left onto the ball.
:58:37. > :58:47.Norwich passing hard for an equaliser. Have Norwich got a
:58:48. > :58:55.rousing finish in them, or will it be Watford's day? Odion Ighalo has
:58:56. > :59:01.his goal, and it is a goal he richly deserves. Time and time again he has
:59:02. > :59:05.been knocking on the door. There was one disallowed in the first half,
:59:06. > :59:09.one very much on the board in the second. In added time at the end of
:59:10. > :59:19.the game, the points are safe now. I was a bit frustrated because I had
:59:20. > :59:23.a lot of chances today to score two or three goals, but that is
:59:24. > :59:28.football, you know. I was really happy and relieved when I got the
:59:29. > :59:36.goal at the end of the game. Thank God for that. We are happy with the
:59:37. > :59:42.two points. We want to keep going. He's scoring. He's creating attempt
:59:43. > :59:48.and always supporting our defensive system. He's the first Withdeany who
:59:49. > :59:51.was to make pressure for us to monitor the pressure. I think it's
:59:52. > :59:55.very important. I don't think there was anything between the teams.
:59:56. > :00:00.Certainly at this level the first goal is absolutely crucial. To give
:00:01. > :00:03.it away in the fashion which we did, you just don't do yourself any
:00:04. > :00:12.favours at all. Watford were tremendous. Four wins in six games.
:00:13. > :00:15.He doesn't think there was much between the teams. The two front
:00:16. > :00:19.boys they do work their socks off for their teams. Ighalo going to
:00:20. > :00:22.close down here. Lob at Capoue. Shot out of a cannon. Look. This is where
:00:23. > :00:27.they get the penalty. They work hard. They work - if you are going
:00:28. > :00:31.to play Watford, you have to be ready to work hard. Watch Ighalo
:00:32. > :00:35.going in here. He will close down. Deeney starts. This goes across.
:00:36. > :00:42.Watch Ighalo go. He cuts that line off. Comes back. Troy Deeney goes.
:00:43. > :00:46.Brilliant. Then Ben Watson, look at that. Closing him down. Closing him
:00:47. > :00:55.down. In the end, kicks it out of play. When they do lose it, they
:00:56. > :01:03.work and get it back. Watch him go, watch him go. He sets up Ighalo. He
:01:04. > :01:07.on this occasion, why he got frustrated, got booked, I don't
:01:08. > :01:15.know, that one in the side-netting. They are a hard-working team. They
:01:16. > :01:22.work hard. If they do that they have no problems. 25 goals ahead of Harry
:01:23. > :01:30.Kane. He is scoring loads. He had a lot of plaudits. Cathcart deserved
:01:31. > :01:35.credit. Sixth best defensive record. Norwich in a rut? One clean sheet.
:01:36. > :01:40.It's looking grim for them. They can't score. They are letting in too
:01:41. > :01:43.many. Playing with no confidence. I think they will struggle. OK.
:01:44. > :01:46.Spurs travelled to West Brom unbeaten in 13 games, their best run
:01:47. > :01:50.The Baggies have won just one of the last 11 league meetings
:01:51. > :01:55.Jonathan Pearce was at The Hawthorns.
:01:56. > :02:01.COMMENTATOR: In the hurricane continues to blow hot, Tottenham can
:02:02. > :02:06.continue that club record run. Here at the country's highest ground,
:02:07. > :02:11.where the wind is swirling, home fans will whip up anti-Spurs fury
:02:12. > :02:15.because of their protracted summer chase for Berahino whose form has
:02:16. > :02:20.dipped alarmingly since. He is only on the Baggies bench again today as
:02:21. > :02:27.they bring Brunt back from a ban in time to replaced a suspended Yacob.
:02:28. > :02:32.Alli is back from suspension to replace Mason who is injured. In
:02:33. > :02:42.Spurs other change, Lamela is preferred to Song. Dembele lay.
:02:43. > :02:53.Picks the pass to Rose. On the edge of the six-yard area. Looks for him.
:02:54. > :03:03.Rose, again, into the middle. Away. Can he finish? Left foot. Really
:03:04. > :03:08.good opportunity this. He had the beating of the player in terms of
:03:09. > :03:12.pace and power. He gave it a fair crack. Off target though. Only one
:03:13. > :03:22.win for West Brom in 11 games against Spurs. Spurs look for Alli.
:03:23. > :03:31.What a finish. Spurs are ahead. Brilliant ball from the back.
:03:32. > :03:37.Finished brilliantly by one of the most exciting young England talents
:03:38. > :03:44.to emerge in recent years. Very long pass. Between the two defenders.
:03:45. > :03:53.Alli, quick, athletic, bold, precise. West Brom 0, Spurs 1. Roy
:03:54. > :04:02.Hodgson must be purring. Here's Alli. Jonny Evans. Looking for
:04:03. > :04:09.Ronned Ron. Important that they made that. They won it back. West Brom
:04:10. > :04:20.now really meaning their challenges. Spurs have got too casual. Fletcher.
:04:21. > :04:30.Sessegnon, in behind. Fletcher has a look. A cross in. Great ball, great
:04:31. > :04:35.goal, 1-1, McClean. Lovely team goal.
:04:36. > :04:46.First goal for the club. Lovely movement. Fletcher got in behind. A
:04:47. > :04:55.beautiful cross. He attacked the ball graciously. His last goal was
:04:56. > :05:08.away at Blackpool for Wigan, in February. Big Premier League moment
:05:09. > :05:12.for the Irishman. 1-1. Walker. Dembele, allowed to turn. Alli,
:05:13. > :05:18.likewise. Looking for Kane. Goal-side. It's just squirted away.
:05:19. > :05:27.Lucky escape for West Bromwich Albion. So near to a second. Both
:05:28. > :05:34.McAuley and Dawson doing their part in there. I know Spurs fans have had
:05:35. > :05:43.storms before, this could be an exciting season for them. Back to
:05:44. > :05:49.Dembele. Decent enough strike from Harry Kane. Comfortable for the
:05:50. > :06:11.goalkeeper. Lively old game this one. A spiteful win. Foul. Bustling
:06:12. > :06:21.on. Here comes that free-kick then. Oh, what a save that is! What a
:06:22. > :06:24.save. It was Olsson, from close-range, breath taking
:06:25. > :06:32.reactions. One of the saves of the season because it came at him at
:06:33. > :06:37.pace from point-blank range. To Gardner, and goes beyond. Looks for
:06:38. > :06:44.Ronned Ron. A big chance, a big moment - gone. Could have won it
:06:45. > :06:48.there. Good have clinched a fantastic double against north
:06:49. > :06:54.London opposition -- Rondon. Hesitant. Spurs rescued by Walker.
:06:55. > :06:59.The atmosphere at the start was muted. It's grown as the game has
:07:00. > :07:04.gone on. Here's Rondon. Goes for goal. Lloris saw it coming and
:07:05. > :07:16.gathers it at the second attempt. I think he saw it coming late. Dembele
:07:17. > :07:21.has gone down. Spurs unhappy with this. The referee has stopped
:07:22. > :07:26.things. Initially, he didn't blow, the referee. He's waited. Spurs
:07:27. > :07:34.enraged by the challenge. Didn't initially give it. Maybe gave
:07:35. > :07:39.himself time to think. A yellow card. A poor challenge. It's a very
:07:40. > :07:49.poor challenge. He's lucky to stay on. Had's Gardner from the past by
:07:50. > :07:54.Fletcher. Rondon's run opens up a gap here. Can they win it late on?
:07:55. > :08:01.Morrison. The cross fizzes through and away. The game that emphasises
:08:02. > :08:08.the drama the Premier League and the fact that no team riding high can
:08:09. > :08:12.count ever on a given victory. We knew it would be a tough game today.
:08:13. > :08:17.A case of very fit and well-organised and well drilled
:08:18. > :08:21.team. So, yeah, we are really, really pleased in that way.
:08:22. > :08:26.Disappointed we never got the three Was a solid points. Game. The
:08:27. > :08:30.conditions were difficult for playing along the grass and the way
:08:31. > :08:37.we wanted to play. We fight against a team that want to fight in every
:08:38. > :08:42.action. It's true that the conditions don't help us. Then maybe
:08:43. > :08:46.the feeling is that we drop two points. Windy everywhere today, that
:08:47. > :08:49.is for sure. Tottenham extend their run to 14 unbeaten. Yeah. You
:08:50. > :08:51.weren't impressed with them run to 14 unbeaten. Yeah. You
:08:52. > :08:54.weren't impressed with them today? They were sloppy today. That is
:08:55. > :08:58.partly because they set high standards recently. All of them were
:08:59. > :09:03.off it, passing wise wasn't as crisp and as sharp in recent weeks they
:09:04. > :09:08.have been playing good stuff. Yes, the conditions are bad, 20 yard
:09:09. > :09:11.passes or 30 yard passes can't start blaming the win because of that.
:09:12. > :09:14.West Brom played well. Let us give them credit as well. Good
:09:15. > :09:20.performance, especially second-half. Tottenham were not quite at the
:09:21. > :09:24.races today. Really good sign that they can dig out a result when it
:09:25. > :09:27.isn't going well. Anyone watching that game would say Tottenham were
:09:28. > :09:33.below-par. West Brom got their goal and point. McClean scored the goal.
:09:34. > :09:37.We saw brilliance from him in terms of a header and brutal. Hero and
:09:38. > :09:42.villain scenario here. You see him at the back post. Great desire. A
:09:43. > :09:46.great cross, I have to say, from James Morrison. Look at him getting
:09:47. > :09:53.in front there. Super cross. A superheader. When you look at this.
:09:54. > :09:59.I honestly cannot believe why he is shaking his head saying why am I
:10:00. > :10:05.getting booked for this Red card. I don't think Tony Pulis could... Look
:10:06. > :10:11.at that. Over the top. He is very fortunate. Lucky he saw him coming
:10:12. > :10:14.Dembele. He pulled out. Just in time.
:10:15. > :10:17.It's 13 games without a win for Aston Villa who began
:10:18. > :10:21.They faced Southampton who've lost their last two in the league
:10:22. > :10:24.and were beaten 6-1 at Liverpool in the League Cup this week.
:10:25. > :10:25.Martin Fisher was at St Mary's Stadium.
:10:26. > :10:35.COMMENTATOR: It was in this fibthure that Mane recorded the fastest ever
:10:36. > :10:44.hat-trick in the Premier League. A 6-1 victory for the Saints. That was
:10:45. > :10:54.the last Premier League appearance for Okore for Villa. He is in today.
:10:55. > :11:03.Lescott returns. Bacuna also returns. Here is Fonte forced to sit
:11:04. > :11:13.out Wednesday night because of that knee injury. An early foul on
:11:14. > :11:17.Bertrand. They will be tested with this set-piece. A swirling wind
:11:18. > :11:21.today. Not a good delivery by Ward-Prowse. Here comes Mane. The
:11:22. > :11:27.cutback. It might fall invitingly here. It's blasted over the bar,
:11:28. > :11:32.Tadic with a fabulous chance there. He could have put Southampton in
:11:33. > :11:37.front inside 70 seconds. Tadic went for the blast when maybe a more
:11:38. > :11:44.measured approach might well have reached greater reward. The --
:11:45. > :11:49.reaped. Wanyama, finding Tadic. Pelle wants it played in earlier. It
:11:50. > :11:55.could be 2-0 already for Southampton. This reorganised,
:11:56. > :12:03.rearranged back four of Aston Villa is wobbling enormously already. No
:12:04. > :12:10.wonder he's off his seat already. Schoolboy defending by the team in
:12:11. > :12:12.yellow. Bertrand. How much longer before Villa's inept defending is
:12:13. > :12:27.punished? They have a third corner. Swung in by Ward-Prowse. Guzan.
:12:28. > :12:35.Fonte. Somehow Villa survive. Scuffed off the line. Fonte chanced
:12:36. > :12:40.his arm. Gestede somehow managed to clear it for Aston Villa.
:12:41. > :12:45.Ward-Prowse tries again. It's over the par, again. Mane, once more.
:12:46. > :12:52.They could be out of sight already, Southampton. Still Brad Guzan hasn't
:12:53. > :13:00.been asked to make a save. How on earth did Mane manage to put that
:13:01. > :13:08.over the bar from there? He's got two ahead of him. Gestede wants it
:13:09. > :13:14.played through the middle. It might well have reached the Villa centre
:13:15. > :13:18.forward if not for van Dijk. Many would have settled for 0-0 at the
:13:19. > :13:23.break in the West Midlands. Can they score from this corner kick? Yes,
:13:24. > :13:26.they can. It's Lescott. Would you believe this? Villa have defended
:13:27. > :13:30.pretty poorly for most of the afternoon. This was shocking from
:13:31. > :13:34.Southampton. A grass cutter of a corner, really. It's missed by so
:13:35. > :13:38.many in stripes. Lescott cannot believe it. He won't have scored
:13:39. > :13:41.many simpler goals in his career than that. Talk about smash and
:13:42. > :14:10.grab. What a block by Alan Hutton, that
:14:11. > :14:16.was brilliant. No wonder Brad Guzan rushed out to congratulate him.
:14:17. > :14:20.Steven Davis took aim and fired. He thought it was a goal, and but for
:14:21. > :14:53.Alan Hutton it might well have been. A good save by Brad Guzan. That is
:14:54. > :14:58.the danger for Aston Villa if they do commit bodies forward, they might
:14:59. > :15:01.get picked off the other round. Juanmi, brilliant, how he stepped
:15:02. > :15:21.inside Jores Okore. Caller number nine. Brad Guzan
:15:22. > :15:27.closing in on a rare clean sheet, it would be his third, but still plenty
:15:28. > :15:35.of time to go. It has not been cleared, and it is steered in.
:15:36. > :15:41.Southampton are level, real romp, as unlikely a goal-scorer as Joleon
:15:42. > :15:47.Lescott was. -- Oriol Romeu. So similar in execution. Oriol Romeu,
:15:48. > :15:51.from almost precisely the same spot from where Joleon Lescott put Aston
:15:52. > :15:56.Villa in front, levels for Southampton. It is his first
:15:57. > :16:04.Southampton goal, how painful for Aston Villa. Relief for one crewman.
:16:05. > :16:20.-- Ronald Koeman. Ashley Westwood at the back post
:16:21. > :16:25.made the mess of that. That was a real opportunity for Aston Villa to
:16:26. > :16:32.close in on all three points again. To be fair, a point was what we
:16:33. > :16:36.deserved, because Southampton played well. It is a good team, we were
:16:37. > :16:41.under pressure many times. Maybe you are the better team, the better
:16:42. > :16:53.chances, but after 45 minutes you are behind. If one counterattacks,
:16:54. > :17:01.detect risks. We had a lot of pressing, we had good chances, and
:17:02. > :17:05.finally we scored a goal. After what happened today, maybe it is a good
:17:06. > :17:11.result. Our performance was not great with the ball, but we showed
:17:12. > :17:15.desire that we have not showed recently, and hopefully the fans can
:17:16. > :17:20.have something to cheer about. We did not get the victory, but today
:17:21. > :17:26.it was not the best place to get points. But once again, I am happy
:17:27. > :17:30.about the behaviour and attitude of the team.
:17:31. > :17:37.Despite that, on four occasions they have failed to hold onto a lead this
:17:38. > :17:44.season. That is a big problem for them, it shows a lack of confidence.
:17:45. > :17:49.When you look at Carlos Sanchez Moreno, his body is all over the
:17:50. > :17:54.place, terrible marking. That is where Oriol Romeu end up scoring the
:17:55. > :18:01.goal. Look at Carlos Sanchez Moreno. Just get all side. Maybe
:18:02. > :18:09.coaches cannot trust players to do simple things like marking a player.
:18:10. > :18:16.How far out were you, Oriol Romeu? It is important for 710 that they
:18:17. > :18:18.got a point. A good reaction, made lots of chances, and he will be
:18:19. > :18:20.reasonably happy with that. West Ham arrived at Old Trafford
:18:21. > :18:23.looking to become the first team in Premier League history to beat
:18:24. > :18:26.Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Manchester United away
:18:27. > :18:28.from home in the same season. United went
:18:29. > :18:41.into the game unbeaten in six. Manchester United missing the
:18:42. > :18:46.injured Wayne Rooney, they welcome back Jesse Lingard, fresh from his
:18:47. > :18:49.first Premier League goal here. Marouane Fellaini makes his 50th
:18:50. > :18:52.Premier League appearance for the club. The injury problems are
:18:53. > :19:01.mounting up for West Ham, Manuel Cini missing out. Andy Carroll
:19:02. > :19:07.starts, looking to score against Manchester United for the first time
:19:08. > :19:10.in his career. Manchester United have won three of the last four
:19:11. > :19:19.Premier League encounters with West Ham.
:19:20. > :19:27.David de Gea saves Manchester United. Nobody is more relieved than
:19:28. > :19:33.Daley Blind, his pass gave West Ham possession, and Victor Moses had
:19:34. > :19:36.time to assess the situation. His team have conceded just one Premier
:19:37. > :19:44.League goal at home so far this season.
:19:45. > :19:53.What a block. Winston Reid with a goal saving challenge for West Ham.
:19:54. > :20:00.Brilliant from Jesse Lingard. Winston Reid was big, brave, and
:20:01. > :20:08.highly effective. Wayne Rooney and junior watching on at Old Trafford,
:20:09. > :20:11.along with Vicarage Road, this stadium has seen the least Premier
:20:12. > :20:26.League goals this season, just ten here scored so far.
:20:27. > :20:31.It came back off the post. A nervous moment for Manchester United. They
:20:32. > :20:44.survive in the end. It is off the post again from
:20:45. > :21:15.Winston Reid. That was nowhere near the target.
:21:16. > :21:24.Winston Reid was that close to giving West Ham the lead at Old
:21:25. > :21:27.Trafford. West Ham's goal has hardly been threatened, they have gone nine
:21:28. > :21:48.without a clean sheet as well. Mauro Zarate was onside. What a
:21:49. > :21:54.chance for the Argentinian. Another let off for Manchester United. He
:21:55. > :21:59.was right at the heart of this move, and he will feel he should have
:22:00. > :22:00.finished it off. Definitely onside. He screwed the shot across the face
:22:01. > :22:18.of goal. Adrian with the save. The first time
:22:19. > :22:37.the West Ham goalkeeper has been called upon. He was equal to it.
:22:38. > :22:47.It is more threatening from Manchester United. Juan Mata miscued
:22:48. > :22:50.his effort at the end. Manchester United have failed to score in eight
:22:51. > :22:53.of their last 20 Premier League games. They did not get that kind of
:22:54. > :23:15.statistic in his day. Inches away for a birthday goal and
:23:16. > :23:18.a breakthrough for Anthony Martial. At last, something more creative for
:23:19. > :23:34.Manchester United. Just a fraction wide.
:23:35. > :23:41.The foul by Angelo Ogbonna. A free kick for Manchester United. He had a
:23:42. > :23:55.couple of goes, the Italian. Jesse Lingard came in. Another shop
:23:56. > :23:57.cannot find the target. No problem with the power, just the position.
:23:58. > :24:09.Always going wide. Manchester United corner. He is
:24:10. > :24:29.hoping for late drama. It was a chance. If there was better
:24:30. > :24:33.connection, the Manchester United captain might have found the back of
:24:34. > :24:36.the net. When you create this kind of
:24:37. > :24:44.chances, you have to finish. We did not do that. They are more
:24:45. > :24:54.disappointed because you know you could finish. This was a very good
:24:55. > :25:02.game, it could have ended 4-4, 4-3, 3-2. It deserved goals. Manchester
:25:03. > :25:07.United have only conceded one at home, we put them under pressure, we
:25:08. > :25:12.were resilient, we deserved to get something out of this game. When you
:25:13. > :25:18.walked down the tunnel and you heard disgruntlement, can you understand
:25:19. > :25:23.that? No, because they have seen there was a fighting spirit until
:25:24. > :25:28.the end, we created chances, we have attacked with a lot of people. You
:25:29. > :25:34.cannot always demand that we score goals, because there is also a bit
:25:35. > :25:37.of luck. No goals, but you picked out an
:25:38. > :25:43.imperious defensive performance from Winston Reid. Yes, they were going
:25:44. > :25:50.to have to defend well today, and he was fantastic. He was the leader for
:25:51. > :25:53.them at the back. This is great defending, he knows how quick
:25:54. > :25:59.Anthony Martial is. He gets his shoulder in and ushers him away from
:26:00. > :26:04.danger. His positional play is always very good, he always seems to
:26:05. > :26:10.be in the right place, and he put his body on the line, which is what
:26:11. > :26:17.you have to do. He is a threat at the other end, and he read things so
:26:18. > :26:21.well. He was the main man today. I really like him, he is a big miss
:26:22. > :26:26.when he does not play. Another good header. There were lots of good
:26:27. > :26:33.performances, but he stood out, and he is capable of this as well. He
:26:34. > :26:37.matched Anthony Martial full pace and strength. It was a good tussle,
:26:38. > :26:44.occurs Anthony Martial was their best threat today. A couple of ugly
:26:45. > :26:50.incident. The first one, Marouane Fellaini. When you look at how he
:26:51. > :26:55.reacts, how he goes to get the ball after this, he knows he has done
:26:56. > :26:59.something wrong. When you watch it from the other angle, he knows what
:27:00. > :27:06.he is doing. He has got history. It is a red card. This one as well, the
:27:07. > :27:15.referee has had a word with him, so he is lucky. Very fortunate. United,
:27:16. > :27:23.four times this season they have had a goalless draw, Louis van Gaal not
:27:24. > :27:26.happy with the crowd. One shot on target, Manchester United fans, the
:27:27. > :27:33.expectation, does he not understand the expectation? Come on.
:27:34. > :27:39.Defensively, they are solid. It is a bonus, but it is not enough. Not for
:27:40. > :27:44.Manchester United. A lack of quality in the final third. They played some
:27:45. > :27:47.good stuff, but just the lack of quality in the final third. We are
:27:48. > :27:50.out of time, thank you. Leicester replace Manchester City at
:27:51. > :27:54.the top of the Premier League pile. Arsenal jump from fourth to second
:27:55. > :27:57.following their win over Sunderland. Aston Villa remain bottom despite
:27:58. > :28:00.earning a point at Southampton. Bournemouth's win at Chelsea
:28:01. > :28:03.lifts them out of the drop zone. Sunderland replace them,
:28:04. > :28:05.while fellow strugglers Newcastle The Sunday Times say that Swansea
:28:06. > :28:26.manager Garry Monk The independent talk about Riyad
:28:27. > :28:31.Mahrez's hat-trick relics. The Mail on Sunday say Jose Mourinho is
:28:32. > :28:32.refusing to panic, despite their home defeat at the hands of
:28:33. > :28:34.Bournemouth. That's it from us
:28:35. > :28:37.on the day that Stoke showed they can do it on a cold,
:28:38. > :28:38.windy Saturday afternoon at Stoke.
