07/05/2016 Match of the Day

COMMENTATOR: It's a goal! Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful. Look at his

face! Just look at his face! What a goal!

Shearer! What a goal. Absolutely magnificent.

COMMENTATOR: Foxes never quit. But do they get nervous? It's over to

Tottenham Hotspur. And Chelsea will get this game under way. Harry Kane

here for Tottenham Hotspur! Who have a priceless lead. Son is in here...

It is 2-0 to Tottenham. Oh! That's nasty. Hazard! 2-1. Here is Hazard!

A goal good enough to win the title. Leicester City have won the Premier

League. No, it wasn't a dream. Leicester

City really are the Barclays Premier League champions. Seven games on the

way for Ian Wright and Kevin Kilbane. But only one place to

start. Leicester's name was already on the trophy ahead of a triumphant

homecoming at the King Power Stadium. Everton provided the

opposition and the party kicked off with a spine tingling rendition of

Nessun Dorma by Andrea Bocelli. No shame in admitting there were

tears in my eyes watching that. Simply incredible scenes. Guy

Mowbray was the lucky man in the commentary box.

COMMENTATOR: He Foxes's party has been inswinger all week. With

invited guests Everton doing the right, respectable thing, as they

always do, a guard of honour for the champions. Now there's a game to

play. Leicester have lost Robert Huth to suspension. Jamie Vardy

returns from his two match ban to take Leonardo Ulloa's place. Three

changes for Everton. Joel Robles for Tim Howard in goal, although the

American will start next weekend for his Goodison Park farewell. Bryan

Oviedo will play at right back in place of Muhamed Besic. McCarthy

comes back and Darron Gibson drops out. Well, the next two hours or so

might seem incidental to many. Most inside the King Power Stadium have

come to see the crowning moment when Wes Morgan lifts aloft the Premier

League trophy at the end of the afternoon. Claudio Ranieri is the

new king. King Claudio of Leicester. The ball in is a good one! Jamie

Vardy's finish is an excellent one! The party continues. There is

another all nighter ahead. Lifted in beautifully for Jamie Vardy to run

onto. It is his 23rd goal of the season. I'm not completely sure, but

it might be his first touch of the game. The Midas touch for Claudio

Ranieri and Jamie Vardy. Leicester City 1-0 Everton. The smiles are

just getting wider and wider, the noise is just getting louder and

louder. It's the sort of moment that just makes that much talked about

Hollywood film about Leicester and Vardy's rise all the more certain to

happen. Nice football from Everton. Played into Lukaku. Really good blog

by Wasilewski. -- really good block. He's a giant

of a man, Marcin Wasilewski. Nigel Pearson was asked what he does when

Marcin Wasilewski turned up late for training was that he said something

along the lines of, I shake his hand and say good morning! Someone has

had a long night! Chairman and vice-chairman, just glancing up to

the heavens. Mahrez, he's got through. The

Challenge slotted in! Andy King arrived on the scene. Just like the

season as a whole, it's only getting better for Leicester City. They are

singing and dancing in the rain. Mahrez's run, the tackle only

diverted the ball into the path of Andy King, who slots in his third

goal of the season. He's been with Leicester all the way. He won League

1 with them, he won the Championship with them, he has become a Premier

1 with them, he won the Championship League champion with them. The full

distance for the high-scoring midfielder and he has made it

Leicester City 2-0 Everton. They are just thinking about that trophy. All

standing for the champions, as Kasper Schmeichel clears.

Vardy is onside! He's pushed over, penalty! Is this the turn for

Christian Fuchs or Danny Simpson, or do Leicester stick to the script? He

scraped Vardy's leg. It's Vardy, looking to go on to 24 Premier

League goals of the season. Smashes it home. Two for Vardy, three four

Leicester. Three more points to the champions.

Dilly ding, dilly dong indeed. Absolutely hammered in by Vardy.

Leicester's season, the biggest season of his career, is finishing

on a scoring note again. Breaking all those records with that goal of

goal after goal, game after game. Now he's scored five in his last

three appearances. Mahrez, it comes to Jamie Vardy, on a hat-trick! Joel

Robles won't let that happen, not yet. What a chance for Vardy. Found

again so easily. Fuchs, Morgan got to it, it wouldn't pass for King.

Will that be another penalty? It will be, you know. A yellow card for

Gibson. A chance for Jamie Vardy to complete the hat-trick, as if the

day could be any more dreamlike. Jamie Vardy with two in the bag, one

penalty already scored. This for the match ball, on this day of all days,

to take home. He's not even flinched under one bit of pressure all

season. He does now! Would you believe it? He does now. He put too

much into it, too much adrenaline flowing through the body and that

just flew over the bar. flowing through the body and that

Mirallas. Out flowing through the body and that

can't stop Mirallas yet. Chance goes on, chance for Mirallas!

individual goal for Kevin Mirallas. Something for Everton fans to cheer,

and Leicester fans are cheering it too. There's a bit of bloody

mindedness in this from the Belgian. He wouldn't be stopped. He

mindedness in this from the Belgian. there, he got it again there. The

chance seemed to have gone again here. But with a lovely bounce

later, there it was at his boot and it was a good finish too, very

coolly slotted in past Schmeichel. WHISTLE

Listen to the raw! Raw emotion all the way around the King Power

Stadium. -- listen to the roar. Beach champions have seen out their

home season, the ultimate season, in bags and bags of style. -- the

champions. What a day. What it is to be alive on days like these. What

must it be to be a Leicester LOUD CHEERING. Is a

dignified man. He has proved to be a quite brilliant man. And

dignified man. He has proved to be a gives credit to everybody else. And

now the title winners, the men who've done it, in blue.

It is one of the greatest underdog stories ever told, that will ever be

told. It is the captain's time. It's the moment of his life. A winner 's

medal around his neck. The trophy will be handed to Wes Morgan. The

trophy that means that Leicester City are the Premier League

champions. Leicester City are the Premier League champions!

As it sunk in yet? It has, when our hands got on the trophy, finally,

when I gave it a kiss and lifted it, that's when it sunk in. Premier

League champion! They would have ever thought this would have

happened, five years ago? Honestly, it's mental. The hard work that's

gone into it, it's unbelievable. You were close to packing it in, weren't

you? You were lost to the game for five or six months? Yes, I was at an

all-time low but I worked hard to get to the top and hopefully I can

carry it on next year. It hasn't really settled in, today is starting

to feel like a celebration, but yeah, it's been crazy. Love you!

It's been absolutely terrific. It's everyone, it's not just one player.

It's not just Vards, its not just me, it's not just Wes Morgan. That's

why we've won, because we are together, solidarity. The first

player at one club to have won the League 1 title, the Championship

title and now the Premier League. A huge honour to have. Of course it

is. It's a massive honour that I am hugely proud of. They know what I've

done for this team and I'm aware now of how much support they give us.

It's been an unbelievable journey but like I say, it's not finished

yet. Who knows what will happen next season. Can I say something to Gary?

Of course you can. Gary, I can't wait to see you in the undies. Your

better pick some nice ones! Patients, Christian, patients! Let's

move on, I think, and hear from the Everton manager Roberto Martinez.

It's difficult not to feel the incredible celebration that

Leicester City have and we can measure laid them and rightly so,

but that's not an excuse or a reason. We are professionals, we

have got our own needs and the three points today were very important to

carry on with the victory that we had last weekend and it was so

unfortunate to see such contrasting performances in terms of the

intensity and the character that we showed last weekend. Today we looked

like a completely different team. As for the man in the opposite dugout,

I caught up with Claudio Ranieri after the presentation.

Claudio, you've done it. You've lifted the trophy. Many

congratulations. You must be delighted. Thank you so much, Gary.

Mannone described to us your emotions now. LAUGHTER

Listen, it's difficult for me to describe my emotion in Italian, can

you imagine in English? Of course, I'm very very pleased because when

you see all the people, all our fans happy, I am mad, I am mad, I want to

say thank you to all our fans because in some matches we were very

down, they pushed behind us and we drew the match, won the match. And

also I want to say thank you to the owners, to the lads, because without

good lads you can't win. When you took over the job at the beginning

of the season, how long was it into the season that he started to think,

I might have something special here? Listen, at the beginning, when I

start the season, I said to the players, A believe me, you are

better than you think. Follow me, we can do something. Of course, there

were also the big teams didn't have our consistency. But this is a

special achievement because there are also special circumstances.

Where do you go from here? Make sure Leicester stay up next season or win

the Champions League? Listen, Gary, we know very well, we know very well

next season it will be everything different. But the fans are

dreaming, keep dreaming, while wake-up? LAUGHTER

We don't want to wake up at all. No, I know! Can you keep the players? I

hope. If they are intelligent, they stay with us another here. The lose

the Champions League because it is very difficult. And then after this

next experience, they can go. I say for them, if they ask me something,

I said, stay with me. If somebody comes to me and says, I'd like to

go, though. Because I want only happy players with me. OK, Claudio,

everyone is very happy at the moment, many congratulations. It's

been a magical season. Fantastic, terrific, thank you, Gary, thank

you. Thank you Claudio I think, despite all the celebrations,

distractions, joy, they put on one hell of a show in the game itself.

But were expecting partying, they would have been lethargic and that

but they weren't, the professionalism, they were

unbelievable. You can see the time he's got, too much time, but Jamie

Vardy getting himself in and around. Jamie Vardy himself said they've

trained the same all week, everything has been exactly the same

but they've been fantastic. So many different stories to this, Gary.

We're going to highlight the number of players in here. Mahrez, Player

of the Year, outstanding season from him. Everyone in their own way has

contributed, none more so than Andy King, stepping through all three

divisions, winning all three titles, fabulous story. He linked about four

people today. Jamie Vardy makes a great run. He's pulled down. They

were just like electric today. Most shots in any game this season today.

Even Kaspar Schmeichel when called upon was ready to go again. This

guy, Fuchs, the desire to get forward coming to

guy, Fuchs, the desire to get think anybody epitomised Lester's

guy, Fuchs, the desire to get season like this guy. What a season,

what are signing up start season like this guy. What a season,

year. Nobody had heard of him, we all have heard of him now. His

desire, workrate, to do everything, the simple things. He was almost

embarrassed lifting the trophy himself. Wes Morgan's face, that

little pause! Compares their possession, stats, passing accuracy,

they are low. Statistics of the team in the bottom half. Barcelona and

Pep, all the possession, have shown they've been very entertaining with

what they've done. Very entertaining. You can't say they

haven't been entertaining the way they've played, every game babe Joan

different ways to beat sides. Counterattacking, etc. -- every game

they have shown different ways. Have you ever witnessed anything like

this in sport, never mind football? Nothing like this, no, I don't think

so. It's great for the game. It seems everyone around the country is

enjoying it. It gives everybody believe, this story has given every

team in the Premier League that belief, can we do a Leicester? And

the players, the journey player, a young player, non-league, 20, 21, he

can dream and it can happen. It's amazing! It really is. As for

Everton, less amazing, overawed today, tough times. They faced 68

jobs in the last two away games, an acceptable today. Roberto Martinez

has said that himself, talked about the lack of intensity. Today

Everton, not just today, through this season at last, it's been a

poor 18 months for Everton. Think he'll keep his job? I'm not sure. I

worry for him cause the fans seem to have gone totally the other way. Six

more games still to come with Premier League survival on the line.

Who will hold on? # You'd better hold on, hold on

# In a lot of trouble # You'd better hold on

Only Aston Villa have the worst home record this season than Sunderland,

who began the day in the bottom three for the visit of Chelsea.

Claudio Ranieri was the manager last Stadium Of Light.

Claudio Ranieri was the manager last time Chelsea lost in the league. 16

years on and Sunderland really need points today. Survival is still in

their own hands, but could easily slip from their grasp over the

course of the next week. Sam Allardyce hinted at tweaks to the

team but in the end he has gone with an unchanged line-up for the sixth

match in a row. Once again they look to Jermain Defoe upfront, who scored

14 league goals this season. Only three of them have come at home and

two of those against Aston Villa. Chelsea arrive in good spirits after

Monday's comeback against Tottenham. As Hiddink has been true to his word

in putting out a full strength team. Thibaut Courtois returns in goal

after is as pension while Eden Hazard is preferred to Pedro, who

has a slight back problem. Scoring goals has been a real

problem for Sam Scoring goals has been a real

they haven't managed to find the back of the net in any of the last

three home matches. Azpilicueta find Hazard, away from here. In towards

Willian. Fairly comfortable for Hazard, away from here. In towards

Mannone. Running at the space therefore Willian.

Didn't Didn't have the fears and power to

test Vito Mannone. Good little spell the last few minutes for Chelsea.

Hazard really was the start of the show in the second half comeback.

Costa combining well with Gary Cahill. And finishing it off.

Chelsea ahead. Diego Costa scores in the Premier League. For the first

time since the start of March. And Sunderland's fight for survival has

got a little bit mode of God now. The hill a little steeper. -- a

little bit more difficult now. As Diego Costa gets the ball in from a

tight angle. It got away from the two defenders and between the

outstretched arms of Vito Mannone. Diego Costa has his 16th goal of the

season and Chelsea, their first of the afternoon. Sunderland 0- one

Chelsea. Again moves the ball away into space.

Yedlin with the header. chance.

Ivanovic tried to get hold of him there. Spotted by Mike Jones,

Ivanovic is going to be called back. Sunderland wanted to play on,

thought they were in a good position. Unit

Younis Kabul has gone for this one. Oh my goodness me! What a wonderful

goal from Wahbi Khazri! What a strike from the Tunisian. Astana.

Four minutes before half-time and Sunderland's fight for survival is

alive and well. Delivery. Of the head of John Obi Mikel. Away by Gary

Cahill. It took a deflection on the way in but Khazri will be claiming

that all day long. Courtois is a magnificent goalkeeper, but

sometimes there isn't a lot you can do. It's a goal to really lift the

spirits of Sunderland. Sunderland 1-1 Chelsea.

Costa, away from the challenge of Borini. Matic. Is there time for one

last attack before the half-time whistle? As Billy better, great

chance for Nemanja Matic. Chelsea's lead is restored and Sunderland done

in the last few seconds of added time at the end of the first half.

Sam Allardyce spun, through his chewing gum to the floor. Having

clawed their way back into the game with a spectacular equaliser,

suddenly, with the referee almost having the whistle in his mouth to

blow for half-time, Chelsea catch them out once again for the second

time in the game. This time, it is Nemanja Matic with his second goal

of the season. It means that half-time Chelsea will lead by two -

one. Hazard. Costa the only player up with him at the moment. Diego

Costa, great chance. A vital save by Vito Mannone. Hazard sliding the

ball through to Diego Costa for the first good chance of the second half

and what an important save. Looking for that third goal to keep

Sunderland at greater arms length. Hazard. Back into Fabregas. Lovely

play. Great chance for costa. Good save from Mannone again, the second

time in the second half he has denied Diego Costa. Costa has scored

in this match but he's had a couple of chances to add to his tally, none

more so than here. Look at the time and space. Mannone able to come out

and make the block. Second time in this second half. To keep it 2-1.

Here is Younis Kabul. Mr large chunk of the season from Christmas to the

start of March. -- he missed a large chunk. Away off the head of as Billy

Greta. -- Azpilicueta. Sunderland playing on. Borini! It is 2-2! Fabio

Borini against his former club. Lift the roof at this Stadium Of Light.

It's all to play for for Sunderland in the fight for survival. 2-2.

Borini scored a consolation goal at Stamford Bridge earlier in the

season and he's scored an equalising goal here today. And Sunderland are

right back in this one. As it deflects off John Terry. Three

quarters of the way through the game, Sunderland to having to

Chelsea. Suddenly Sunderland are playing like

men possessed here. Here come Sunderland once more with Yedlin,

only half cleared. 2-1! 3-2, what a turnaround, Jermain Defoe could be

the difference maker for Sunderland. Stadium Of Light shakes to its

foundations. Good play by Yedlin. Just watch Defoe as the ball span in

his general direction and four the 15th time this season he finds the

back of the net in the Premier League. What a turnaround here, two

goals in two minutes and 18 seconds for Sunderland. Certainly time for a

chance two. Costa unable to control the ball. It's Defoe, trying to

flick it away from John Terry. Ending on the deck. Terry will

receive a booking from the referee Mike Jones. Well, what an afternoon.

On the verge of a fifth home win of the season. The great escape very

much a live for Sunderland. As John Terry makes a heavy challenge.

much a live for Sunderland. As John Mike Jones reaches for his card

again. And shows a second yellow card of the match for John Terry. It

is a red card for John Terry. A rash challenge. Chelsea will finish with

ten men. Terry flings the captain 's armband away and leaves the arena.

To the goading of 45,000 fans ringing in his ears. Is there time

for one last attack for Chelsea? Fabregas. It needs to be good and it

needs to be now from their point of view. Sunderland have just got to

hang on for a few seconds here. Traore takes a shot. Saved by

Mannone again. And that should do it. There goes the final whistle.

The fight for survival very much on for Sunderland. This is a very big

bonus three point spa. Sunderland 3-2 Chelsea.

It's the first time we've come from behind to win a game this

It's the first time we've come from that shows the mentality and desire

of the players against a very talented Chelsea squad. The first

half we should have made it 2-0. The second half we had at least one or

two opened chances with the aid which would have been 1-3, but would

have does not count. -- with Diego Costa. You have a matchwinner like

Jermain Defoe on the pitch, so you'll always have a chance? You

have. He always hits the target. Without him, I dread to think where

we might be as a team. I've always been confident. At this stage of my

life I thought about getting relegated, but it was a massive

effort from the boys today from the goalkeeper all the way through the

team. It was just unbelievable, the atmosphere today was fantastic. It's

not done yet, it's important we recover as well as we can now,

massive game Wednesday. You can feel him come he's got the pressure on

him, hasn't he? The relief is measurable. Massive win for

Sunderland, it was like they were on a mission? Yes, massive win. You

start games and you have to have that desire, the commitment, the

work ethic. They that desire, the commitment, the

they had it in abundance today. When you play at the Stadium Of Light,

the crowd get right behind you if they see you are on the front foot

the crowd get right behind you if as the first whistle goes. The front

the crowd get right behind you if five or six players are all on the

front foot and looking to close Chelsea down, forcing them

front foot and looking to close and sideways, not being able to

settle into the game. I'm sure that's what Sam Allardyce said to

his side, get the crowd behind you and get on the front foot to start

with Allsup that is where they were at through the whole game. The ball

is played in here and Younes Kaboul reads it and goes forward. One thing

that was impressive today is how many bodies they got forward in

those positions. Over the last few weeks I think Lee Cattermole has

those positions. Over the last few to the for them. That's what you get

from him, this energy, tackling all around the pitch. Yan M'Vila has

been outstanding for them this season as well. I think this just

been outstanding for them this changed them, the half-time team

talk. He sees that Younes Kaboul has gone out of position and he dives in

too early, and it's far too easy, right on the cusp of half-time. It

just changed Sam Allardyce and how he went about it at

Second half they were outstanding. For all the fight and commitment,

you've still got to score For all the fight and commitment,

they did it, they managed that, didn't they? I think they've got

that in the side but it's about getting bodies forward. You have to

get bodies in positions. He's made a threat of himself. Chelsea couldn't

quite get this threat of himself. Chelsea couldn't

kind of come off his ankle. He's hit that so powerfully. It got a little

deflection off Gary Cahill. But it's one of the best hits I've ever seen!

Bodies in the box, Fabio Borini does well and holds out on the edge of

the box. Matic loses him a bit and this is quality, composure. Hit the

target. John Terry this is quality, composure. Hit the

the wake he does get this is quality, composure. Hit the

fact. When you hit the target, you can score and then this is it.

fact. When you hit the target, you communication with Terry and Cahill

here, bodies in the box, they leave Jermain Defoe on

here, bodies in the box, they leave touch is fantastic and they hit the

target. That's what they want, they want him in that position. I think

they recognise that they need to score goals. They're not going to

win games 1-0. You give that guy once chance and he will score and

that's what he does. A footnote, John Terry, two yellow cards means

It could mean that we may not see It could mean that we may not see

don't know what's going to happen. This one especially, that doesn't

seem like a John Terry challenge. He doesn't go in like that normally.

That seems very rash from John and it's a shame. If he's going to

finish his last game committees been an extraordinary player for Chelsea.

A magnificent player for Chelsea. England captain and leader. That's

what you've got from him from his whole career, he's been magnificent.

Norwich were looking to do the double over Manchester United

following their victory at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

Jonathan Pearce was at Carrow Road. COMMENTATOR: A Manchester United

loss would surely end their hopes of Champions League football. Norwich

looking for a first league double over Reid United since 1989-90.

Cameron Jerome looks to end a scoring drought dating back to the

win at Old Trafford in December. United lost Anthony Martial in the

warm up with a tight hamstring, having already rested Rushford and

warm up with a tight hamstring, Daley Blind with the trip on Tuesday

to West Ham in mind. Switched away towards Valencia. Such

an injury hit season. They've had eight players out for a month or

more this season, Manchester United. A good run, all the way. The cross,

squeezed away by Carrick. Really good football by Norwich on the

counter. A strong run by Robbie Brady. He played just one game for

Manchester United, as a substitute, in the League Cup. Michael Carrick

clearly pulls him back in the box. In it comes towards that near post

area. Cleared away this time by Rooney Hummer from Bassong's effort.

Still in play. Back in it goes. Really strong start by Norwich here.

The free kick goes the way of Norwich. Took it early. Here is

Redmond. To the dead-ball line, chance! Thwarted by David de Gea.

His last goal on the 19th of December against Manchester United,

Cameron Jerome. It's been a long wait. A big chance for Norwich. Got

the power behind it and headed it down as he/she have done, but he

knows that one should have counted. -- as he knows he should have done.

Here is Juan Mata. Valencia flying. It's a foul.

Into the box, looking for Rooney over his own bar by Bassong.

Safety first. Manchester United have a corner kick.

Juan Mata with the corner kick, great rise by Smalling! Header over.

Came a long way to get in there and worrying for Norwich that he got the

free header in. Big chance for Manchester United. Hoolahan comes to

the ball, pressure rising Carrick. Ander Herrera hits the side netting.

Howson, the Mercy Mbokani will get it back to him.

Now Reid United on the counter. Won back, Mbokani, Redmond. Jerome at

the far stick. Deflected. Should be Smalling's. Headed only

the far stick. Deflected. Should be Nathan Redmond. Powered by Borthwick

Jackson. Those are the sort of chances that

need to go in. He had to react very quickly, and swept it over. It's

been a match between a team at the bottom, riddled with nerves, and a

team that looks on this current form like they belong in mid-table.

Mbokani! On as a sub to win it and that was his moment, maybe. Will he

get another chance? Totally miss timed the header. A good run from

deep. He should have done a lot better from there. Time ticking away

for both of these sides. A draw will suit neither. Bassong didn't get

there, Rooney inside the penalty area, Wayne Rooney checks back,

chance gone, he sets up Juan Mata! Who scores against Norwich again.

That could be a massive nail in the coughing of Premier League football

at Carrow Road. A mistake by Sebastien Bassong and belief is

draining away in the Carrow Road stands. There is a top four place on

offer for United. Will tears start to flow amongst the yellow and

green? A pat on the back for Bassong, but this was a big error of

judgment. In goes Rooney. He couldn't get his shot away and he

set up Juan Mata, and he certainly did. Norwich 0- one Manchester

United. Juan Mata, when the opportunity came, made absolutely

sure. Here is Borthwick- Jackson.

Schneiderlin, in acres of space. Juan Mata, likewise. Playing around

Norwich now. Well, the way the ball came out suggested he won it. Was

their excess force tackle? Juan Mata stayed down. He thought he won the

ball. Great effort! Just wide by Memphis. Stirling the wrong way, but

very nearly curling in. -- curling the wrong way. We're into the last

few seconds now, this is it for Norwich. Hoolahan, plays it to

Graham Dorrans. Mbokani, it's now or never. Back out to Bassong.

WHISTLE Manchester United win at Carrow Road

to keep alive their flickering European Champions League

to keep alive their flickering Norwich beaten. They will cling to

hope. Norwich 0- one Manchester United. We have won, and I think

more than deserved. I think we keep the pressure on our competitors and

that is what I want, so I'm a happy manager. We have to put pressure on

the teams that are above us in the table and now we have to wait

against a massive game between City and Arsenal and maybe a good result

for us to keep us in the race. We have to win the last two games as

well. Too often it's been a lapse in concentration or an error from

someone at some stage and that makes it difficult when you're trying to

get something from the game. We're not scoring goals. To win you need

to score a lot and you also have to not concede. They had one chance and

they scored and won the game. It's tough. You start relying on other

teams, which is not a great place to be. We will see the lay of the land

after today's games, but we've got two games remaining and we need to

go and make sure we put in a good performance on Wednesday. A goal

from Juan Mata that could prove as priceless for Manchester United as

it could prove costly for Norwich, really. Yeah, I mean, the story of

Norwich's season in a nutshell today.

Norwich's season in a nutshell Neil spoke about it in his post

match comments, saying it's the mistakes happening time and time

again. The goal actually comes from this, Mbokani running

again. The goal actually comes from play. He's got a bit of momentum

there going play. He's got a bit of momentum

back to Norwich but Norwich play. He's got a bit of momentum

give it straight back to United. play. He's got a bit of momentum

They are in a comfortable position actually when the

They are in a comfortable position out to Antonio Valencia, but they

have really missed him -- missed Tim Klose in the last few weeks. This

was a hopeful ball forward and he doesn't pick up the flight at all.

Wayne Rooney spotted early. I thought he had missed the chance

early but then he had the awareness around him to pick out Juan Mata.

He's actually around him to pick out Juan Mata.

Rooney here, he's looking to stop Wayne Rooney getting in instead of

watching the ball. Total misjudgement. Rooney is the first

doom react to it and has the awareness around him. That again has

just cost Norwich. It's a huge mistake and although Alex Neil says

they are still in it, I think that was the nail in the coughing for

them today. A mistake at the back, a lack of incisive finishing, the

combination. Redmond is a player I really like for them and I can't

understand why he really like for them and I can't

games for Norwich. He does brilliant and gets in behind the defence.

Cameron Jerome in a fantastic position behind the defenders. You

have to have this back where it's come from, because David de Gea has

got to get come from, because David de Gea has

the goal. He's actually just trying to get

the goal. He's actually just trying goalkeeper like David de

and it's not really headed back where it's coming from.

The same thing here, Mbokani, headed back where it's coming from.

just got to get that on target and Cameron Jerome gets onto it. It's a

super ball in but they just miss the chance. He's got three goals this

season, Mbokani has got five. That's been their problem. That and

mistakes at the back. Manchester United, 18 clean sheets this season,

another three points, still in with a chance of a fourth place finish

which is quite remarkable considering they where they were a

few weeks ago. They didn't play very well today, they only had two shots

on target. How they are still in the hunt for the top four I don't know.

They could have conceded two more goals with more clinical finishing.

But they are still in it. A four-game unbeaten run, their best

of the season, has given Newcastle a fighting chance of avoiding

relegation. They faced an Aston Villa side whose only real

motivation was to avoid a Villa side whose only real

record 12th defeat in a row. Steve Wilson was at Villa Park.

It's 11 and counting consecutive defeats, the future must lie with

the youngsters. 19-year-old defender having Toner the latest to be given

a chance and he keeps his place. How crucial those three goals scored by

Andros Townsend in April could be. Newcastle have no margin for error

they need to beat Aston Villa today. After all, just about everybody else

has. Aston Villa relegated, Newcastle hoping to avoid the same

fate. They've taken just one point from their last ten matches away

from St James' Park. Dumb it for Newcastle looking for

the run of rollback. Might open up here. Good option for Newcastle. --

inflatable and move it off the pitch. Goalkick. He thought he'd

been pushed by Lescott. Worth saying Rafa Benitez lost a game of football

to a ball that deflected in, he'll have that at the back of his mind

today. Now the block. Now the break.

Cissokho for Newcastle. Cisse with him. Wijnaldum is there too. Andros

Townsend. A good ball onside. Cisse. Wijnaldum down the middle wasn't.

Cisse has found a neater. Anita Bosman ball in. Cisse! Two format

bright lights of the English game, Aston Villa and Newcastle. Former

form a bright lights. Today it has been demand demo. -- it has been dim

and dinner. Cissokho scooping it on towards

Townsend. Cisse missed it. Colback over the top. The first really good

chance of the entire game. A really fizzing ball in. Cisse could be

forgiven perhaps. It was deflected on its way through to him, then it

fell in by to leave a Colback who wasted a glorious opportunity.

Moussa Sissoko pulled back... That's a free kick, audibly a yellow card

for Clark, he knew exactly what he was doing, the Aston Villa man. Have

a look there. The card is coming out for Kieran Clarke. Townsend's free

kick. Out by Kevin Toner. Tiote let that drop. Mitrovic onside, it over

the bar. Another one goes begging for Newcastle.

Wijnaldum to have another go. Mark Bunn is there ahead of Mitrovic.

Mark Bunn has been the busier keeper, you wouldn't exactly

describe him as overworked today. This is a chance. A good save from

Wijnaldum, then the ball ping from here and there. I'm sure they are

across the other games on that Newcastle bench. Whatever is

happening elsewhere, this, surely, was a game they thought they could

win. Mitrovic isn't far wide. It's a good chance, certainly in the

context of this game that's a good chance. A decent ball in towards

Mitrovic. It climbed higher than Clark but couldn't direct it.

Certainly would be looking for him to hit the target from there. The

74th minute protest. And there are many, many, many inflatables being

thrown at the pitch here. Member's ball in is

We were trying very hard but the first half we didn't play at the

level we were expecting. The second half, some chances you have to take

if you want to win. Disappointed because it was an opportunity to

stay ahead of Sunderland and we couldn't do it. I think last week of

receivable formance merited a little bit more but we took that little

step towards the supporters which we've been speaking about and I

thought today was exactly the same. We worked tirelessly the whole

afternoon and the supporters came with us, it was wonderful. The

reaction to today's performance I thought is unbelievable, I've never

seen it before. Villa fans have an enormous part to play for the fans

going forward and hopefully it will not be too long before they are back

in the Premier League. Now you need a favour from somebody else. Yeah,

obviously we have to wait and see what they do. During the week. As I

say, the ready, try to get three points because if they can win these

games, still we have to fight until the end. All in all, great day for

Sunderland. If a if they beat Everton on Sunday night

they will be safe and Newcastle Norwich go down. There comes a point

when you have to make something happen and Newcastle really didn't

do that. Everything Sunderland were today Newcastle weren't. The weight

Newcastle play, you would think they were already safe, it was terrible,

couldn't believe how bad they were. We are talking about that Villa side

trying to avoid 12 losses on the spin, no closing down. If they can

close them down here, you would probably make the ball off them,

when you watched Villa they give you the ball back. They are so poor,

watch, nothing. That is what they were like all day-to-day, terrible.

Instances... were like all day-to-day, terrible.

Here, a good ball outcome were like all day-to-day, terrible.

right, let's play. Nice This is a team trying to stay in the

get involved, doesn't happen. This is a team trying to stay in the

league, you are not seeing anything. Andros Townsend is taking people on,

Cisse doesn't go across, Wijnaldum doesn't go forward, look where they

are. Even if he keeps that ball in. This is then 30 minutes in. Look.

the ball forward, over his head, the ball forward, over his head,

nothing, no intensity at all. This is a great opportunity,

nothing, no intensity at all. This Andros Townsend, flying winger. You

could get Cisse into the space. Get the ball into the space for Andros

Townsend to get into, doesn't even get the ball over there. Like I say

Townsend to get into, doesn't even with a Villa, if you are not

Townsend to get into, doesn't even to close them down, no worries,

they'll just do this, look. You have to close them down, no worries,

it. Look at... No intensity, nothing. Villa... Newcastle, to me,

looking at that performance, look like they've assigned themselves to

going down. It didn't happen for Cisse and when he was replaced by

Mitrovic, didn't happen for him either, had a couple of

opportunities. They were good opportunities for a player... The

opportunities. They were good big man, but some very good balls

in. This one, I think, it's very unlucky. I would have probably taken

this round the keeper because the keeper is committed. He's trying to

go up to meet that, difficult one to try and get over the goalkeeper

because the try and get over the goalkeeper

tried to lift it over the keeper. Not going to happen, maybe take it

around the goalie. He pulls this off brilliantly. It is back where he's

come from. The goalkeeper has to come across. He is caught it too

well and it's really unlucky. You've got to the target. He gets to the

back post with this one, does well. He's afraid of getting clattered and

he gets free head on this. He's not start of the last five for a reason,

that's the thing coming is not started. He gives you more than

Cisse but he just can't finish. Sunderland looked like staying up.

Absolutely. I think they'll beat Everton Wednesday, think they have a

great chance. Three more games on the way in which of

three more games on the waiting Match of the Day two. -- on the way

in Match of the Day. Ten games unbeaten for West Ham, who

Antonio. Appeals for hands. Given. Swansea putting themselves in a

difficult position here. Jack Cork handled and West Ham have a free

kick. Such a long line of players. Of both teams. I yet scraped the

failure. Got too much lift on it. -- Payet. Routledge for Swansea. Ki

making some good runs on that left-hand side. He may have found an

opening here. He has an Swansea City have taken the lead Routledge came

in from the far side and Slaven Bilic's team look a little bit

static in defence. Is there a suggestion of offside here? The ball

is played ... Routledge is the goal-scorer, Ki the provider to the

far side. Routledge topped it in. West Ham 0- one Swansea. Certainly

far side. Routledge topped it in. a? Over the goal, I don't think the

official on the near side had his flag up. This is Kingsley. Stephen

Kingsley for Swansea. It's gone in! Ayew at the near post! Well,

Kingsley makes the goal and Swansea are 2-0 up here. Kingsley makes the

run, the young left-back, drives it into the near post. West Ham

standing around almost as Ayew applies the finishing touch and

makes it 11 goals for the season for Swansea. So, not the afternoon West

Ham fans were expecting. And here's Antonio again. Moses goes in.

Carroll! How did that stay out? Any one of three West Ham players could

have scored there. Landini can't steer it in.

Manchester United come here on Tuesday, which is a rearranged game.

-- Lanzini. Originally they thought this would be the last here. Some

very animated reaction from the bench. Barrow for Swansea. They've

got three in the middle. Ki! It 3-0. Ki Sung-yueng has already

established a platform here to be Man of the Match.

Is a beaming smile on the face of the Korean and no wonder, West Ham

just don't know what to do with him. Ki has hit that first-time. West

Ham's defenders once again nowhere to be seen. West Ham 0-3 Swansea is

it. Now it's Antonio again for West Ham.

Something might happen... He's twisted and turned his man. Andy

Carroll was waiting. It didn't reach him. Antonio again! Saved by

Fabianski. Carroll! CHUCKLES

Well, Antonio is the key figure here. It's his original cross,

hooked back by Lanzini. Now Antonio tries again, save again by the

goalkeeper. Andy Carroll, right foot, wide. Sir Trevor Brooking

there, one of the great West Ham heroes of this stadium. Francesco

Guidolin is patrolling the touchline very anxiously here, the Swansea

coach. Because West Ham are building up a bit of steam. Shot by Antonio

deflects for a West Ham corner. Payet will take this. Payet again.

Antonio! It's in now. It's in now. Well, as this came in, I thought

Sakho was favourite. In the end, he does score it. Antonio was on the

ground, but Sakho, who had to go is at this, has put West Ham back in

the game. When he comes back off -- well, it comes back off Fabianski...

I think Sakho is so close and gets enough of a touch to claim that. He

certainly wouldn't want the own goal. Norton has found Angel range

-- Angel Rangel, those two operating on the right-hand side. One is even.

This is Bafetimbi Gomis! It's come off a West Ham defender, it's a

corner. Otherwise it was 4-1. Here is Gomis. He had plenty of time

there and two deflections. A really odd performance from West Ham. Here

is Sakho. Now Noble. To the far side, Payet! Oh! Side netting. With

a deflection as well. Dimitri Payet coming close here. He was hanging

around on Marks, there. You can't do that with him. Payet takes the

corner. -- an marked. They are all waiting for Andy Carroll.

corner. -- an marked. They are all break with Gomis. Look at this, two

against one. Gomis and Ayew, only one defender. Is he going to play it

to Ayew? Yes he is. Is Ayew going to school? Yes he is. Swansea go 4-1

up, in stoppage time. A rueful look and Swansea are celebrating, as they

deserve to do. Such a classic two against one on the counter, Gomis

supplies Ayew who then very nicely flicks it back to him with the

outside of his foot and this time Gomis thinks OK, I'm going to finish

this, and he does. With the ball, I'm not that

disappointed. We created enough, we were good. But without the ball, we

had too many passengers. Too many players who were relying that

somebody else was going to take the ball and let me be in a good

position when we get the ball... It is, if you approach like that then

you can't win the game. I know my group. I know my squad. It's not a

surprise for me because we had a good group, we had many good players

and I'm happy. They deserve it. It's kind of a small shock to us or maybe

a big shock, but we have to react before the game on Tuesday and we

have a couple of games that we have to make up for this defeat. West Ham

have had a superb season, haven't they? But they were given a spanking

by a very good Swansea today. Swansea were excellent and you have

to give them odds of credit but it was a total of favour West Ham. He

was very good in his interview, Slaven Bilic committee suggest that

they created a lot of chances going forward but as a back four, they

they created a lot of chances going were very poor today.

Ham that turned up today, very, very surprised. Since beating Stoke the

game before Christmas, Crystal surprised. Since beating Stoke the

games. Stoke play them again at Selhurst Park.

Scott Dann is the top scoring defender in the Premier League.

Playing his 100th match in this level, Connor Wickham is level

Playing his 100th match in this Dann but is yet to score here at

Selhurst Park. Ryan Shawcross has achieved that feat and it was in

Stoke's last win here back in 2007. Peter Crouch scored and received a

red card at Selhurst Park. He continues to lead

red card at Selhurst Park. He attack, after impressing against

Sunderland last weekend. One of those in the Palace line-up

who I'm sure we'll want to be in the starting XI in the FA Cup final,

Dwight Gayle. That's a good, positive start. A positive and

extremely determined run by Gail. -- Gayle. Will it be the left foot

of Jason Puncheon or the right -- Gayle. Will it be the left foot

of Cabaye? Deflected and goes just -- Gayle. Will it be the left foot

beyond the post. It is Shaqiri who gets a big, big deflection on the

ball and it goes wide. Here is Bolasie.

Cabaye, Crouch. That's very nice. Now Arnautovic, on towards Shaqiri,

who will get to it as well! Great stop by Hennessey. Arnautovic's

Pascal out Shaqiri to take it in his stride. -- his past allowed Shaqiri.

On by Shawcross Amat helped on by Cameron, now Shaqiri. Crouch and

Arnautovic in front of Imbula. On Cameron, now Shaqiri. Crouch and

towards Adam! That is a fabulous Stoke City goal! Really excellent

execution. Imbula, Arnautovic and then add. It's a smashing goal from

Stoke. They lead at Selhurst Park. Really good team goal. The finish

right into the corner. And Charlie Adam grabs himself his first goal of

the season. The last time he scored, it was in a 6-1 thrashing of

Liverpool, almost a year ago to the day. 1-0.

Here is Delaney. Ledley's first touch. Pape Souare. Still Bolasie!

Still going. And still! And then Gayle! What a start to the second

half for Crystal Palace. 70 seconds into it and they are level already.

It was all about the determination and the dynamism of Yannick Bolasie.

He just kept on going, kept his footing. Good refereeing as well

because he allowed play to continue and Gayle tucked it into the corner

of the net. 70 seconds into the second half, it's 1-1 at Selhurst

Park. Dwight Gayle gets his second Premier League goal of the campaign.

Palace inching closer to mathematical safety. On towards

Connor Wickham. Now Dann, to Gayle, Puncheon! Terrific from Crystal

Palace. Merited a goal. Lovely touch from Gayle, but Puncheon couldn't

keep it down. Here is Bolasie. Pape Souare in

front of him. Now it's Pape Souare. And Connor Wickham! Well, his

frustration is because he couldn't get it on target. Terrific ball and

Connor Wickham's header off the outside of the post. Free kick

Crystal Palace. Shawcross was the deepest Stoke defender and he wasn't

denying a goal-scoring opportunity, says the referee. Free kick Crystal

Palace. Gayle goes for it! And scores. I'm pretty sure that when he

hit that he lost his footing and fell on the floor, but it didn't

matter, because he put enough on it, Dwight Gayle, to grab his second and

say to Alan Pardew he could be in your starting line-up in the FA Cup

final. Crystal Palace have turned this right around. Just watch Gayle

straight after he hits this. Straight on the floor but bang, it's

in the back of the net and Dwight Gayle gets his second of the match.

Having trailed, Palace now in front courtesy of a Gayle double.

Chested down, a good ball, Arnautovic gets to it! And misses.

Wonderful opportunity for an equaliser, spurned by Stoke's top

scorer. Dwight Gayle made a statement today,

didn't he? Yes. I said to him at half-time I thought he was our best

player. I don't think there was much surprise in that. He's probably, in

his mind, not starting. So he wanted to show me. He couldn't have done

any more, apart from get a hat-trick, which he almost did. He

was terrific today. We've lacked a goal-scorer but we were all better,

second half. We've got everybody fit through today. We've got one game to

go and if we have everybody fit for the final, we will have a great

chance. Unfortunately we didn't react well enough after the break.

Poor defensively in terms of their opening goal. We missed about three

or four tackles leading up to that. From our point of view Richard not

happen. 1-1, all to play for. Unfortunately we had a free kick

awarded against us on the edge of the box. Another poor decision from

our point of view from a referee who was born on the deck in my view.

It's everyone's dream to play in the FA Cup final and you can only pick

the 11 players at the end of the day, so hopefully I can do something

next week to do dumb thing to push him a bit further to put me in the

11. He certainly hasn't done his chances any harm at all, especially

when you consider they have struggled to get a consistent

goal-scorer this season. Yes, he is definitely the best finisher at the

club. He bulked up a bit when he was injured. This is what you want to

see him do more. This is what is going to force Alan Pardew's hand.

He just drives past three or four players and gets fouled. I think he

should have got a foul here, sniffing around. Didn't get

anything. But with his goal, this one as well, he blasts through.

Maybe with a view more games he would get that out of his feet

quicker. He didn't get the shot off. What I like about this, he peels off

Shawcross and just keeps going towards the goal. The ball comes to

him and then there is the calmness. That's what he does, that's what

Palace need. I think the goalkeeper has got to do better and I have to

give Dwight Gayle props for hitting the target. But look where the

goalkeeper is here. In the middle, he doesn't even have to really dive.

It goes in, it doesn't go in the corner. He has to do better. I'm

pleased for Dwight Gayle. The Palace fans love him and they believe he is

someone who can score goals and hopefully given the opportunity he

will. Great for him, getting a squad together just before the cup final,

all fit. Everyone getting fit in and around the cup final! Everyone

miraculously getting fit, why wouldn't you? A poor end to the

season., no wins in six. Conceded 17 goals in that run as well, it's

poor. Almost on the beach. Mark Hughes will like that but they need

to improve dramatically into next season. Bournemouth and West Brom

were level on points going into their game at the Vitality Stadium.

The Baggies finished with just nine men when they lost the reverse

fixture in December. Eddie Howe was a young player at

Bournemouth when Tony Pulis was manager here. He makes four changes

today. The Cherries look to do the double over West Brom. Salomon

Rondon was sent off in that defeat just before Christmas as was James

Maclean. An unchanged West Ham team. Two more teenagers, Tyler Roberts

and Sam Field are on the bench, as well as Jonathan Leko starting.

Bournemouth will surely create one opportunity of note in the minutes

that remain. Question is, can they take it? Long throw, towards King.

Richie is there! Matt Ritchie with the equaliser for Bournemouth!

Defensive calamity at the back for West Bromwich Albion. As Matt

Ritchie notches his fourth goal of the season. It comes off Claudio

Yacob. Ritchie anticipated it would drop into the six yard area and it

was terrific anticipation. Evans. Maclean. Evans. Running forward

unchecked. Berahino looks to set up a shooting opportunity and it's off

the post. What a chance for West Bromwich Albion, Craig Dawson with

the shot that strikes the upright and away to safety. I don't think we

deserved to lose that game, I thought we had a lot of possession,

they are not the type of team you want to concede early against. They

blocked it up and it was difficult for us to create many goal-scoring

opportunities. The second half we were much improved and deserved

equaliser. We're disappointed, the players have worked so hard today

and I thought Bournemouth played the way they play, never caused us any

problems. We are a little bit disappointed with one or two

decisions. Harry Arter shouldn't have been booked first half for

pushing Olsen over. The challenge on Fletcher was straight red. Fantastic

season. You looking forward to going out there in a moment and

celebrating the supporters? Yeah, will feel like much of a celebration

for me because I was slightly disappointed with elements of

today's performance, but overall when you have to reflect on the

season, great effort by the players. Really has been, Bournemouth have

done particularly well this season and Tony Pulis not happy with your

done particularly well this season Harry Arter thing, does he have a

point? I think especially for the first challenge

point? I think especially for the think he feels hard done by, think

he gets a clip their, then he raises his hands. He could easily have been

booked for that. The referee letting him off. He's flown into this

challenge and I think Fletcher is very lucky, you slipped it away. His

boots up, he could have easily got sent off for that one as well. I

don't think it's red, I think it's just borderline. Good turn. Yellow

card, definite yellow card. He should have got one for the first. I

think he's a little bit late, he hasn't been given yellow, it's

borderline. West Brom, no wins in eight. I know, it's almost like

Stoke. They've not got themselves going over the last few weeks. It's

petered out the season. It's a bit disappointing the way they've gone.

You expect improvement. Thank you both as always. Before we leave,

let's take a look at the Barclays Premier League table. Leicester City

have lifted the Premier League trophy after 139 days at the top.

Last season they were bottom for 140 days. Sunday's result between

Manchester City and Arsenal will have a major bearing on Champions

League qualification. Sunderland have moved out of the bottom three

and if they beat Everton on Wednesday Sam Allardyce's side will

be safe. Newcastle Norwich will join Aston Villa in the championship.

Congratulations to Burnley and Middlesbrough who's been promoted

back to the Premier League. Let's see what the papers have to say.

Lester dominates the back pages, crowning glory is the headline in

the Sunday Times. The sun on Sunday leads with Claudio Ranieri telling

fans to continue to dream. Finally, Belgium and Manchester City captain,

Vincent Kompany, has revealed he will miss Euro 2016 after suffering

another injury. He has missed 35 city's games this season and wrote

on his Facebook page, I will miss the Euros, to me it is very sad

news. That is it, Leicester City are Premier League champions. That

sounds good. I might say it again. Leicester City are the Premier

League champions. Goodbye. It's a question

I've always asked people when they've asked me

about the stealing from the dead.
