:01:07. > :01:33.Good evening. After the FA Cup third round, it's back to business in the
:01:34. > :01:44.Premier League. Ten games to pack in, and we've got some belters. Alan
:01:45. > :01:49.Shearer and Didi Hamann have much to discuss. In six meetings between
:01:50. > :01:52.Arsene Wenger and Jurgen Klopp, the Frenchman holds the edge, 3-2 in
:01:53. > :02:03.victories. Liverpool's first home game of 2016,
:02:04. > :02:09.and what they start to the year with and just united to come on Sunday.
:02:10. > :02:14.Kolo Toure, Mamadou Sakho, Jordan Ibe and captain Jordan Henderson all
:02:15. > :02:19.back into start. Roberto Firmino gets to be the main man in attack
:02:20. > :02:22.ahead of Christian Benteke. Arsenal make five changes after their FA Cup
:02:23. > :02:29.triumph over Sunderland with Mertesacker and Monreal back at the
:02:30. > :02:37.back. Mesut Ozil also returns in midfield. A contender for Player of
:02:38. > :02:40.back. Mesut Ozil also returns in atmosphere, as there always is under
:02:41. > :02:52.the lights at Anfield. Liverpool have the corner.
:02:53. > :03:00.Liverpool, by and large, have started the game the better side.
:03:01. > :03:06.Emre Can tried to help that on. Didn't need much of a flick to cause
:03:07. > :03:10.a problem. The ball hasn't stayed away for long and Emre Can went for
:03:11. > :03:15.the shot. Petr Cech could only parry and it's put in by Firmino! It's a
:03:16. > :03:18.league that Liverpool deserve after the way they started the game.
:03:19. > :03:23.Roberto the way they started the game.
:03:24. > :03:29.Anfield goal. Theo Walcott seemed to stumble as he lost possession as he
:03:30. > :03:33.tried to carry the ball away. No question of offside as Emre Can hit
:03:34. > :03:39.the ball into Petr Cech, who looked to have made a decent save. The beat
:03:40. > :03:40.out when straight to Roberto Firmino with a fine finish from the
:03:41. > :04:01.Brazilian. Campbell got it through and it's in!
:04:02. > :04:09.Finished really well by Aaron Ramsey. Olivier Giroud played no
:04:10. > :04:11.part in the build-up, down hurt. The tiniest of gaps for Aaron Ramsey to
:04:12. > :04:15.part in the build-up, down hurt. The find, but he found it. This is
:04:16. > :04:19.part in the build-up, down hurt. The Giroud played a part,
:04:20. > :04:24.part in the build-up, down hurt. The switched off. Campbell took two
:04:25. > :04:26.part in the build-up, down hurt. The away, found Ramsey, and Liverpool's
:04:27. > :04:33.defending in general was switched off.
:04:34. > :04:43.what a way to put the ball in the net from Ramsey. Liverpool 1-1
:04:44. > :04:47.Arsenal, and it's shaping up into be another classic contest. The news
:04:48. > :04:51.from the Arsenal medical team, he another classic contest. The news
:04:52. > :05:05.required one staple and plenty of another classic contest. The news
:05:06. > :05:12.know why, but one staple That bounces
:05:13. > :05:19.Milner. Good try from That bounces
:05:20. > :05:26.Firmino and a brilliant goal! What a goal, what a game. Roberto Firmino
:05:27. > :05:27.Firmino and a brilliant goal! What a what confidence can
:05:28. > :05:34.Firmino and a brilliant goal! What a home goal for the club in the bag.
:05:35. > :05:39.His second is something special. Joel Campbell unwittingly twice
:05:40. > :05:42.played a part in the lead up to it. Look at the curl, the distance
:05:43. > :05:48.played a part in the lead up to it. accuracy. It had it all from
:05:49. > :05:52.Firmino. He cost big money, signed from Hoffenheim in the summer
:05:53. > :06:00.months. And doesn't Jurgen Klopp like that. Liverpool 2-1 Arsenal. He
:06:01. > :06:05.called it, every time we go to Anfield, we face a team up for
:06:06. > :06:08.called it, every time we go to it's always a ferociously full. --
:06:09. > :06:16.ferociously battle. That comes to Aaron Ramsey and the
:06:17. > :06:25.flag stayed down but Sakho got back to head over the bar.
:06:26. > :06:34.A nice little lift from Walcott and the flag was right to stay down.
:06:35. > :06:38.Still might be a chance for Arsenal. A big chance, and it's gone in
:06:39. > :06:44.straight from the corner for a second Liverpool game in a row.
:06:45. > :06:49.Giroud is claiming a touch. Embarrassment for Liverpool's Simon
:06:50. > :06:55.Mignolet after the fate that befell his colleague Adam Bogdan at Exeter
:06:56. > :07:00.on Friday. Curling in. Giroud might have got a touch but it was going in
:07:01. > :07:07.any way. I think there is a touch from the Frenchman. Certainly dead.
:07:08. > :07:26.The other question, was it a Mignolet own goal? -- certainly did.
:07:27. > :07:35.Great Arsenal football. How did that stay out? Giroud is wondering.
:07:36. > :07:39.Arsenal fans were celebrating at the other end of the field. The rest of
:07:40. > :07:47.us are just trying to keep up with what's happening. Mutual admiration
:07:48. > :07:49.between these two. From cities just 66 miles apart over the
:07:50. > :08:01.French-German border. Koscielny struggled with that and
:08:02. > :08:06.Firmino! Off the top of the bar. Lovely touch to bring it down. What
:08:07. > :08:07.a cracking way that would have been to ensure the match ball was going
:08:08. > :08:14.home with him. Monreal, nicely collected by
:08:15. > :08:31.Walcott. Milner was beaten. Milner has stayed
:08:32. > :08:37.down. That deflected Giroud's way, and Giroud scores! Arsenal lead for
:08:38. > :08:43.the first time in the game. Olivier Giroud is in a brilliant vein of
:08:44. > :08:49.form. Two tonight, nine goals in his last nine games. As the pendulum
:08:50. > :08:54.swung back in the league leader's favour? That's where it started.
:08:55. > :09:01.Looked like Milner would get the ball but Bellerin was too quick for
:09:02. > :09:09.him. A touch of fortune. As the ball bounced to Giroud. Nothing fortunate
:09:10. > :09:10.about the way Bellerin nicked in. Nothing fortunate either about the
:09:11. > :09:16.way Giroud took his goal. Rafa Benitez is in the crowd. Back
:09:17. > :09:32.home, you might say. Firmino got it back to Jordan Ibe
:09:33. > :09:40.and Mertesacker had to stay balanced to get that away. For the amount of
:09:41. > :09:43.play they've had in the Arsenal half since going 3-2 behind, Liverpool
:09:44. > :09:46.will feel they ought to get something from the game. As snow
:09:47. > :09:52.starts to fall on Merseyside. something from the game. As snow
:09:53. > :09:58.Benteke goes up and here is Joe Allen!
:09:59. > :10:07.A sprint of delight found the touchline in the snow for Jurgen
:10:08. > :10:11.Klopp. An equaliser in the 90th minute for Liverpool. Drama to the
:10:12. > :10:17.last, as they're so often is when these sides collide. And yet another
:10:18. > :10:20.last, as they're so often is when really well taken goal. Joe Allen
:10:21. > :10:25.has one shot at that and he has Bellerin coming across him. He's got
:10:26. > :10:31.what seems like an age to watch the ball down onto his boot. He has
:10:32. > :10:37.Anfield singing and his manager running. Liverpool 3-3 Arsenal. With
:10:38. > :10:43.entertainment like that, King Kenny would approve.
:10:44. > :10:50.This game that we started so good, we played such good football. I like
:10:51. > :10:55.this. We showed, all of us, how good we can be, but we showed our
:10:56. > :10:59.problems again. A set play, I would like to say we would never give a
:11:00. > :11:03.goal again from a set play, but at this moment it's not easy belief but
:11:04. > :11:07.we have to work on it. I felt we had an apprehensive start a little bit.
:11:08. > :11:13.We had bad memories two years ago and you could see it was on the
:11:14. > :11:20.spirit of some players. When we were 1-0 down we started to play. We
:11:21. > :11:25.looked always dangerous when we went forward, but, I still come out of
:11:26. > :11:31.the game with a lot of positives, even if we have regrets. STUDIO:
:11:32. > :11:37.Lots of positives, a sparkling game and fabulous stuff. Fantastic game
:11:38. > :11:45.with both teams going for it end to end. Attacking football for
:11:46. > :11:49.Liverpool. Firmino was brilliant. Giroud had a top game for Arsenal.
:11:50. > :11:55.The Liverpool problems they've had all season were there again for
:11:56. > :11:59.everyone to see tonight. Defending crosses and the goalkeeper. A
:12:00. > :12:03.brilliant run from Aaron Ramsey, and the weight of pass from Campbell is
:12:04. > :12:11.superb but Mignolet should not be beat at his near post. Good striker,
:12:12. > :12:18.good run but a mistake. As we saw at Exeter, corners into the box that
:12:19. > :12:22.Liverpool can't defend. Mignolet's defence, the ball shouldn't get
:12:23. > :12:26.there at all. It's a good flick from Giroud but you have three defenders
:12:27. > :12:29.in a row. Well done to Arsenal for identifying the Liverpool weakness.
:12:30. > :12:35.Talk about poor defending all you like but you can't do anything about
:12:36. > :12:40.this. Brilliant from Giroud. I love the first touch and he gets a bit of
:12:41. > :12:47.luck as it goes to him in the first place, but the finish is superb. The
:12:48. > :12:51.goalkeeper has no chance. 12 goals for him this season. Is Giroud
:12:52. > :12:55.underrated, better than people think? I don't think he's
:12:56. > :13:04.world-class, I don't think he's hit 20 goals in the league yet, 11, 16,
:13:05. > :13:10.14 and now 12. But in this Arsenal team he should be getting at least
:13:11. > :13:15.20 league goals. Liverpool were not bad going forward? They were really
:13:16. > :13:20.good today. They have struggled to create chances in recent weeks are
:13:21. > :13:25.at Anfield. But in Coutinho's absence they needed somebody to step
:13:26. > :13:28.up and take responsibility and Firmino did today. Cech should
:13:29. > :13:34.probably do better when he parries the ball onto his weaker foot. Great
:13:35. > :13:38.touch, through Koscielny's legs to the near post to score. The second
:13:39. > :13:44.is brilliant as he has four or five defenders around him. Milner passes
:13:45. > :13:45.the ball and he has one thing on his mind, takes the touch and shoots in
:13:46. > :13:54.one move. But have had touch, balance and technique.
:13:55. > :13:59.Benteke hasn't really come to the party since he joined Liverpool and
:14:00. > :14:03.this is where you need him. He gets up, nobody challenges him because
:14:04. > :14:07.he's so strong in the air and a wonderful side footed finish from
:14:08. > :14:11.Joe Allen. A confidence booster before the big game against United
:14:12. > :14:16.on Sunday. I think Jurgen Klopp enjoyed that particular goal. After
:14:17. > :14:20.being knocked out of the FA Cup by League 2 side Oxford, Swansea faced
:14:21. > :14:23.second from bottom Sunderland who knew that victory at the Liberty
:14:24. > :14:26.Stadium would leave them just one point and one place behind their
:14:27. > :14:31.opponents. Martin Fisher watched this.
:14:32. > :14:40.Both these clubs know where their priorities lie. Britton with his
:14:41. > :14:44.500th appearance in a Swansea shirt and having helped them on their
:14:45. > :14:49.journey from the 4th tier to the top flight he now has a crucial role to
:14:50. > :14:52.play in keeping the Welsh club in the Premier League. Two goals
:14:53. > :14:56.play in keeping the Welsh club in Jermaine Defoe helped Sunderland win
:14:57. > :15:00.their last relegation six-pointer against Villa and scored in each of
:15:01. > :15:14.the last games against It's a terrible clearance. Adam
:15:15. > :15:20.Johnson picking up the loose ball. Sunderland take the lead! It hasn't
:15:21. > :15:27.taken Jermaine Defoe long to score again against Swansea. Inside three
:15:28. > :15:31.minutes and the red face belongs to Fabianski. What is he trying to do
:15:32. > :15:38.here? Straight to Johnson. Johnson's desire to get
:15:39. > :15:43.here? Straight to Johnson. Johnson's denied. Fabianski could only tee it
:15:44. > :15:49.up on a plate to Defoe. The question is, is Defoe offside there? Might
:15:50. > :15:54.well have been just level with Fernandez as the shot was unleashed.
:15:55. > :16:02.The Fernandez as the shot was unleashed.
:16:03. > :16:09.side kept his flag down. Sam Allardyce has his
:16:10. > :16:14.goal. What an opportunity for a swift
:16:15. > :16:16.response. His reaction says it all. Swansea
:16:17. > :16:19.rocked by His reaction says it all. Swansea
:16:20. > :16:42.glorious chance to His reaction says it all. Swansea
:16:43. > :16:48.down. Penalty given! It's a big call from Graham Scott.
:16:49. > :16:54.You can see what Sam Allardyce makes of it all. Brown had to be more
:16:55. > :17:04.careful. I am not sure how much connection there was there.
:17:05. > :17:10.It looks as though Ayew got his feet in a tangle and tripped himself up.
:17:11. > :17:22.Swansea have been given a gift by Graham Scott. Can Sigurdsson accept
:17:23. > :17:30.it? Against Mannone. Scores. We are one each. Sunderland can feel hard
:17:31. > :17:39.done by. Well taken penalty by the Icelander. Sent the wrong way.
:17:40. > :17:52.Fabianski is the most relieved man in stadium. Graham Scott was a
:17:53. > :18:01.Well won by Fernandez. Forward by Brown.
:18:02. > :18:13.The referee looks interested here. It's a red card for Naughton. Well,
:18:14. > :18:20.as soon as we heard the scream and the pace of the referee, I must
:18:21. > :18:28.admit I feared for Naughton. Is this reckless? Got the ball.
:18:29. > :18:34.Caught the player. Another big call for the referee,
:18:35. > :18:46.Graham Scott. Here is the free kick.
:18:47. > :18:57.Down field from Fabianski. Away from Cattermole. Ayew! What a response.
:18:58. > :19:03.Down field from Fabianski. Away from Swansea down to ten men and within
:19:04. > :19:10.two minutes they take the lead. What about that for a kick?
:19:11. > :19:16.To put pressure on the Sunderland defence who have struggled when
:19:17. > :19:25.Swansea have got at them. Jones with no response. Mannone left grasping
:19:26. > :19:29.thin air such is the power of that drive from the Ghanaian and Swansea
:19:30. > :19:37.having been one down in three minutes now lead 2-1.
:19:38. > :19:48.Goal! Sunderland score three minutes since
:19:49. > :19:54.the second half having scored three minutes since the first. This crazy
:19:55. > :20:06.topsy-turvy game takes another twist. Van Aanholt, this one took a
:20:07. > :20:15.deflection. This Matthew Wright have been heading home. There is the
:20:16. > :20:23.touch off Fernandez. And Fabianski has no answer. Sunderland draw
:20:24. > :20:32.at 2-2. Defoe. The flag has stayed down.
:20:33. > :20:37.It's Defoe! It's 3-2 Sunderland. Was Defoe offside? He has worked so hard
:20:38. > :20:41.to stay on but I think he is off there. The flag far side stayed
:20:42. > :20:47.down. It's a fabulous finish, it has to be
:20:48. > :20:55.said. Driven firmly forward by Johnson.
:20:56. > :21:04.Swansea stops, Fabianski astonished the flag wasn't raised. Even Defoe
:21:05. > :21:12.looks across. Williams. Barrow collects here. Kept it in.
:21:13. > :21:22.He is away from van Aanholt. O'Shea to clear. Sigurdsson. It's
:21:23. > :21:30.three-tloo! The flag is raised. -- 3-3! Offside. This is astonishing.
:21:31. > :21:36.The flag stayed down for Defoe's two. Should it have been raised
:21:37. > :21:44.here? What a let-off for Mannone. What
:21:45. > :21:48.another talking point in a quite astonishing game.
:21:49. > :21:53.Defoe waits in the centre. Touches it in.
:21:54. > :22:06.Defoe's hat trick. Sunderland's fourth goal. The points are heading
:22:07. > :22:12.to Wearside. Van Aanholt was brilliant in his approach. Took his
:22:13. > :22:16.to cross. Defoe is behind Williams when the ball is squared.
:22:17. > :22:21.From that close in he was never going to miss.
:22:22. > :22:30.He has fenced - fancies himself for a hat trick ever since he got his
:22:31. > :22:38.second. Swansea City 2, Sunderland 4 in a crazy night. All you have what
:22:39. > :22:42.seen in the Premier League over many years against something that was
:22:43. > :22:46.quite different today in terms of how the game swung and why it swung
:22:47. > :22:51.the way it swung and how it swung as it did. The only thing I am relieved
:22:52. > :22:55.and pleased about for the players at the end of it we have come out at
:22:56. > :23:02.the right end with a victory. Plenty of incident anyway, but I think all
:23:03. > :23:05.the key talking points were probably the decisions and I hate to say it
:23:06. > :23:08.but I would say he probably got all the major decisions completely
:23:09. > :23:12.wrong. Did you think you were offside for any of them? I don't
:23:13. > :23:16.know it happens so quickly you have to keep making runs and when you get
:23:17. > :23:18.in a position put it in the back of the net, obviously if you are
:23:19. > :23:22.offside you are, but if it's not, then delighted. But, once you get in
:23:23. > :23:25.that position you have to score and then see what happens after.
:23:26. > :23:31.That was Sunderland's first win at Swansea in a league game since 63.
:23:32. > :23:39.There were curious decisions in that game. Some very strange decisions in
:23:40. > :23:44.the first half. Graham Scott was a late call-up for the referee who was
:23:45. > :23:47.ill. Not sure when he gets the next call-up, he got a couple of big
:23:48. > :23:49.decisions wrong. This is the first one
:23:50. > :24:03.No contact. Hits the ground. He gives a penalty. Then Sunderland get
:24:04. > :24:09.their own decision back because inaugurationen to gets sent off --
:24:10. > :24:18.Naughton gets sent off... We can see it now. We see the clip here.
:24:19. > :24:23.Naughton, it's a perfectly well-timed tackle. He can't believe
:24:24. > :24:27.it, don't think anyone can believe it, I don't even think it's a foul.
:24:28. > :24:35.Play should have gone on. Strange decision. This is a foul that you
:24:36. > :24:41.see in continental Europe. It's not a red card. Don't even think it's a
:24:42. > :24:46.foul. I suppose there was an element of not necessarily controversy but
:24:47. > :24:50.about Defoe's hat trick. All three are tight calls. He plays on the
:24:51. > :24:54.edge, on the last man as you should do as a forward. He is right, don't
:24:55. > :24:59.edge, on the last man as you should look back until you hear the whistle
:25:00. > :25:04.or see that flag. This one is offside.
:25:05. > :25:08.Cross. He is half a yard offside. But he is alive, he is awake, he is
:25:09. > :25:12.sharp. It's a tap-in for him and he gets a reward but should be given
:25:13. > :25:17.offside there. No doubt about that if
:25:18. > :25:18.offside there. No doubt about that ball in from Johnson. The space he
:25:19. > :25:27.offside there. No doubt about that brilliant run. Bends the run there.
:25:28. > :25:35.Rangel is trying to play offside. The size of the gap fascinated me
:25:36. > :25:43.that Fabianski leaves him. He actually stops. Van Aanholt good run
:25:44. > :25:48.in, again it's tight. It's a good ball and finish. Five goals in two
:25:49. > :25:51.games. Three today. Sunderland go above Newcastle.
:25:52. > :25:57.You are thrilled about that I am sure. Delighted! Three days after
:25:58. > :26:01.drawing 2-2 in the FA Cup Spurs again welcomed Leicester to White
:26:02. > :26:07.Hart Lane with both sides looking to consolidate their place in the top
:26:08. > :26:11.four. John Motson was watching. Harry Kane's late penalty on Sunday
:26:12. > :26:16.was his 50th goal in 104 appearances for Spurs, three game in the league
:26:17. > :26:22.match here last season, a seven-goal thriller that Spurs won 4-3. He has
:26:23. > :26:25.scored 13 in 14 games since October. Leicester's Jamie Vardy has scored
:26:26. > :26:31.15 in the Premier League alone. He is back after a groin injury as both
:26:32. > :26:48.teams revert to their familiar Premier League line-ups.
:26:49. > :26:57.It's gone further over. That's his shot!
:26:58. > :27:00.He has just signed a new contract, the 19-year-old. He had the
:27:01. > :27:18.Forward to Davis. Walker on the far yards.
:27:19. > :27:20.Forward to Davis. Walker on the far side for Spurs. Lamela in the
:27:21. > :27:43.middle. Tottenham corner. Clawed away by Schmeichel.
:27:44. > :27:58.Vardy. That's a good ball. Kante has under siege.
:27:59. > :28:10.Vardy. That's a good ball. Kante has the run. Okazaki surely.
:28:11. > :28:16.That was a very good ball by Drinkwater which picked out Kante.
:28:17. > :28:28.Okazaki. Spurs might Foul by Eriksen on Drinkwater.
:28:29. > :28:34.Leicester supporters will be hoping Foul by Eriksen on Drinkwater.
:28:35. > :28:54.their team can get Drinkwater!
:28:55. > :28:59.there. Drinkwater hasn't scored for Leicester so far this season but
:29:00. > :29:04.there was no many effort. A frantic pace to this game.
:29:05. > :29:12.Just wondered if that might come back to Harry Kane. In fact, it's a
:29:13. > :29:18.corner to Spurs. Kane has taken it quickly himself.
:29:19. > :29:28.Oh, that's a good ball. It's Eri skshgs en. Schmeichel more or less
:29:29. > :29:32.at full stretch there. Making quite sure that the ball was
:29:33. > :29:38.put to safety this time. Now Harry Kane.
:29:39. > :29:46.Lamela must be careful to Jay on side. He has. They've got... Kane is
:29:47. > :29:53.in here! He's hit the bar. Leicester have got players getting in the way.
:29:54. > :29:59.The nearest we have come to a goal. Off the goalkeeper.
:30:00. > :30:11.How do you separate these two? 2-2 on Sunday, 0-0 so far tonight. And
:30:12. > :30:16.another game next week. Kane was at the near post and Erik Lamela!
:30:17. > :30:17.Lamela taking That's bounced awkwardly for the
:30:18. > :30:28.his coach with arms outstretched. That's bounced awkwardly for the
:30:29. > :30:32.Tottenham defence. Okazaki trying to latch onto it. Here is Albrighton.
:30:33. > :30:37.Okazaki is there, and latch onto it. Here is Albrighton.
:30:38. > :30:47.there. It comes to drink water, and Ulloa! How many shots did they need?
:30:48. > :30:50.For a moment, Mahrez seem to have a chance, Danny Drinkwater certainly
:30:51. > :30:57.had a chance, and Ulloa had a chance.
:30:58. > :31:06.Good turn by Harry Kane, he's set something up here for Dele Alli.
:31:07. > :31:08.Saved by Schmeichel going to his left again. The 19-year-old could
:31:09. > :31:24.have won it the Walker having to look after Andy
:31:25. > :31:30.King down this left-hand side. Fuchs takes the throw for Leicester City
:31:31. > :31:40.again. Don't think they will risk Robert Huth or Morgan forward now.
:31:41. > :31:50.Kante. Cross goes Dele Alli, and that's a Leicester corner. Is it
:31:51. > :31:55.Leicester's turn for a late goal? Robert Huth was holding back and he
:31:56. > :32:00.scores! Leicester City do to Tottenham what Spurs did to them in
:32:01. > :32:07.the cup, and score a late, late goal. That's a magnificent header,
:32:08. > :32:15.although where was the Spurs marking? Robert Huth here is
:32:16. > :32:18.although where was the Spurs covered. And he places the header.
:32:19. > :32:23.Leicester City take the lead at White Hart Lane.
:32:24. > :32:34.We didn't lose our calm, confidence, shape, and for them it was difficult
:32:35. > :32:38.to come inside us. We are getting better, we created good chances to
:32:39. > :32:41.score a goal in the first half, and the second half, it was an open
:32:42. > :32:48.match. We both had chances, and we scored the goal. We tried to win the
:32:49. > :32:56.game. We had the better chance to manage the game. But you need to
:32:57. > :32:59.score, you know. We are disappointed, but in football we
:33:00. > :33:05.have to keep calm and try to improve and realise that the Premier League
:33:06. > :33:11.is a very tough competition. STUDIO: On it goes. Ranieri has never lost a
:33:12. > :33:16.league game against Tottenham in ten matches. Quite a remarkable story.
:33:17. > :33:20.Staggering story, third clean sheet in a row. Only Manchester City have
:33:21. > :33:25.scored more goals. They go to Tottenham in the FA Cup, make a
:33:26. > :33:31.changes at the weekend. Make nine changes tonight. -- made eight
:33:32. > :33:37.changes. It's a remarkable story and the header from Robert Huth. Good
:33:38. > :33:40.ball in from Fuchs. A good old-fashioned, plan to your feet,
:33:41. > :33:47.arch your back and get your neck muscles going. A brilliant header
:33:48. > :33:51.with Alderweireld and Eric Dier clashing in the middle. It's good
:33:52. > :33:58.and old-fashioned. Good, strong neck muscles. Superb header. First goal
:33:59. > :34:03.in four hours for Leicester City. They were prolific scoring, but they
:34:04. > :34:09.stopped scoring and are suddenly defending well. As for Spurs, are
:34:10. > :34:15.they flattering to deceive, like Spurs sides do? Or just a bit of an
:34:16. > :34:19.experience? I think you could put it down as a blip, but they are still
:34:20. > :34:24.in a very good position, favourites to finish in the top four. The worry
:34:25. > :34:28.about the Spurs team at the moment is the lack of form from Christian
:34:29. > :34:32.Eriksen who scored his last league goal on October four. Apart from
:34:33. > :34:39.Harry Kane, they are over reliable on him to score goals, a bit on Dele
:34:40. > :34:43.Alli, but they rely on Kane too heavily and hopefully Eriksen comes
:34:44. > :34:50.back to form. Do they need a bit of striking back up in the window? It's
:34:51. > :34:55.a chance, he could stay fit, but if he gets injured they could be in
:34:56. > :34:58.trouble. Part three is next Wednesday with the winners playing
:34:59. > :35:05.Colchester in the FA Cup fourth round. Even Louis van Gaal admitted
:35:06. > :35:08.to being bored by some of Manchester United's performances this season.
:35:09. > :35:10.It's safe to say that last night's meeting with Newcastle broke the
:35:11. > :35:17.mould. COMMENTATOR: Newcastle have scored
:35:18. > :35:22.just one Premier League goal in the last four Premier League matches. In

:36:34. > :36:41.clearly. He has pointed to the spot. The arm is out from Mbemba. That's
:36:42. > :36:46.what Mike Dean saw. Wayne Rooney has the opportunity to score for the
:36:47. > :36:52.third game running. He could give Manchester United the lead after
:36:53. > :36:56.nine minutes, which he duly does. His penalty at the
:36:57. > :36:58.nine minutes, which he duly does. FA Cup tie against Jeff Field
:36:59. > :37:02.United, and his spot kick at St James' Park puts them in front

:40:08. > :40:10.restore their two goal cushion. Cleverly done by Herrera, and it
:40:11. > :40:32.needed composure by Lingard. Colback with it. The referee has
:40:33. > :40:39.given a Newcastle penalty. Yellow card for Chris Smalling for the foul
:40:40. > :40:45.on Mitrovic. Smalling clearly stops Mitrovic's run on goal. Two arms
:40:46. > :40:50.around him, had the shirts nearly off his back.
:40:51. > :40:57.Alexander Mijhaar vitch has missed his last two penalties, but the
:40:58. > :41:06.Serbian international will try to level this up for Newcastle. Which
:41:07. > :41:11.Mitrovic does. From two down, Newcastle are back on terms at 2-2.
:41:12. > :41:17.St James' Park is well and truly alive and kicking again. Had a long
:41:18. > :41:23.time to think about this. In the in and he put it in the same place as
:41:24. > :41:24.Wayne Rooney in the first half. Like the Manchester United captain, he
:41:25. > :41:37.sent the goalkeeper the runway. Rooney leave that for Martial. We
:41:38. > :41:46.know what Memphis is thinking. Still Memphis, deflected and Rooney!
:41:47. > :41:49.Sweetly struck. Rooney has his second of the night, his 14th
:41:50. > :41:54.Premier League goal against Newcastle in his career. It's one
:41:55. > :41:59.that restores Manchester United's lead, and Louis van Gaal's smile. He
:42:00. > :42:07.loves playing against Newcastle, and he's done it against them again.
:42:08. > :42:11.That road into the top corner. Fabulous hit from the Manchester
:42:12. > :42:13.United captain. The moment of quality has got their noses back in
:42:14. > :42:24.front in this incredible match. A bit of space for Memphis. Fellaini
:42:25. > :42:30.is charging forward and Memphis finds him. What a save from
:42:31. > :42:36.Fellaini. Elliott has kept Newcastle in the match there. Headed straight
:42:37. > :42:39.at Elliott, who still made a smart save. He's more than disappointed
:42:40. > :42:45.Manchester United couldn't put it to bed.
:42:46. > :42:52.Good work from Memphis but Sissoko got it back. Cleared by Daley Blind.
:42:53. > :43:03.Into the last minute of the 90. Paul Dummett! Newcastle United are level
:43:04. > :43:11.again. Right at the death. Paul Dummett with just his second ever
:43:12. > :43:17.Premier League goal, to make it 3-3. What a game. Seconds of the 90
:43:18. > :43:22.minutes remaining. Manchester United didn't deal with the cross. It was
:43:23. > :43:28.deflected on the way through. That's what took it away from De Gea, off
:43:29. > :43:29.Chris Smalling. You certainly wouldn't deny Newcastle that bit of
:43:30. > :43:39.luck. I think we epitomise the attitude
:43:40. > :43:42.and character for 95 minutes. If we continue like that, as we have been
:43:43. > :43:47.doing, but we got the rewards tonight, the last-minute goal kind
:43:48. > :43:55.of feels like a winner. Everybody knows the Premier League is a
:43:56. > :43:59.difficult league. To give a two goal lead away, we should be winning the
:44:00. > :44:06.game. We played is good stuff, and we didn't kill the game off. We gave
:44:07. > :44:14.it away, two or three times. You cannot do that. STUDIO: A wonderful
:44:15. > :44:18.game of football. Even a fat man would recognise the Wayne Rooney
:44:19. > :44:32.return to form. That penalty went to the left. This
:44:33. > :44:37.is great awareness. Superb run. He is so aware of Lingard. It's a
:44:38. > :44:42.clever finish. He knows he is coming. Hold it up. The way he
:44:43. > :44:46.passes is brilliant. You think that was good, look at this one.
:44:47. > :44:49.Absolutely superb. The goalkeeper has absolutely no chance. I was
:44:50. > :44:54.there last night watching, and watching him in the warm-up and his
:44:55. > :44:58.finishing was superb, I said don't be surprised if he was to score
:44:59. > :45:03.tonight against Newcastle. 14 goals he has got against Newcastle, more
:45:04. > :45:06.than any other team. You get the feeling when you are a centre
:45:07. > :45:10.forward you have teams that you love scoring against. I said it last
:45:11. > :45:14.night, I was devastated when Leeds got relegated because it cost me
:45:15. > :45:19.three or four goals a season, I loved playing against them. That was
:45:20. > :45:23.a top performance. loved playing against them. That was
:45:24. > :45:24.debate continues. What is deliberate, what is not?
:45:25. > :45:33.debate continues. What is think there is too much to talk
:45:34. > :45:39.about in this incident. The arm is up. He has to know if he heads that
:45:40. > :45:44.ball it may hit his arm. For me it's a penalty. There is loads to talk
:45:45. > :45:48.about. It's intent. He has his arm to block that header and he did and
:45:49. > :45:56.it was the right call. Here is the law, it states it has to be
:45:57. > :46:00.intentional. There are guidance. Yeah, the movement, the proximity,
:46:01. > :46:04.whether the player's hands nr the expected position. Whether the
:46:05. > :46:10.player uses hands or arms to make himself bigger, what a farce.
:46:11. > :46:15.Guidance. In my opinion t should be deliberate handball. Simple. Then
:46:16. > :46:24.the referee has to be 100% that it's deliberate. How can Mbemba get away
:46:25. > :46:28.from that? His arm is up, I agree, guidance there you can say it wasn't
:46:29. > :46:34.a penalty. If it hits your arm or a hand it's a penalty. Like hockey
:46:35. > :46:41.with feet? No, you would have to take your arms off to achieve that.
:46:42. > :46:53., the referee has to be certain, then it's a penalty. Back to
:46:54. > :46:57.tonight. One week on from losing the first leg of the league Cup
:46:58. > :47:00.semifinal it was Manchester City's turn to entertain Everton at the

:54:13. > :54:15.at home in pretty much a year. But right at the end there the
:54:16. > :54:21.penalty decision, should he have got a penalty there? I think possibly.
:54:22. > :54:27.Yeah, I think City is hard done by in the end. Sterling takes Stones on
:54:28. > :54:30.and Stones realises he can't get to the ball but his momentum on the wet
:54:31. > :54:33.pitch, he slides in and makes contact. I think it's a penalty. I
:54:34. > :54:39.think he should have pointed to the contact. I think it's a penalty. I
:54:40. > :54:43.spot and City unlucky there. Similar to one against Stoke. A penalty was
:54:44. > :54:47.given on that occasion. He got a touch on the ball, not this time. I
:54:48. > :54:51.thought it was a penalty, as well. It was Everton's second clean sheet
:54:52. > :54:56.in the last eight games. A lot of that was down to the resoluteness
:54:57. > :55:00.probably of Tim Howard in goal Defensively they were sound tonight.
:55:01. > :55:05.Tim Howard was there, didn't play in the two Cup games. Recalled tonight.
:55:06. > :55:15.That was a superb save. Picking up power off the wet surface there from
:55:16. > :55:18.a header from Toure. 350th Premier League league appearance at Everton.
:55:19. > :55:22.A good way to celebrate that. Sterling good work, pushes this away
:55:23. > :55:28.with his foot. Defenders are there to clear it. I think this is
:55:29. > :55:32.probably the best one. Aguero is quick, makes himself big. He's been
:55:33. > :55:38.having criticism of late, so confidence for him there. OK. It's

:58:17. > :58:29.ball by Willian, crisp cross through them all. And Chelsea lead.
:58:30. > :58:34.McClean. Olsson. Given away. Olsson fouled his man, Costa. The referee
:58:35. > :58:40.has spotted it. It's going to be a yellow card. It was high up the
:58:41. > :58:45.field. I think that yellow card is for Yacob and the foul on Willian
:58:46. > :58:53.before. I think that's why the referee has given it. It is indeed
:58:54. > :59:01.for Yacob. Roman Abramovich looking on.
:59:02. > :59:06.Here is Pedro. Olsson has been signalling to bench.
:59:07. > :59:12.Gardner. Great effort. Just as West Brom seem to have another injury
:59:13. > :59:18.problem, they score a cracking equaliser. Substituted himself for
:59:19. > :59:23.the injured Morrison and Gardner strikes. Fine goal. Given away. Look
:59:24. > :59:26.at the gap ahead. One touch. Then he bends it beautifully around the
:59:27. > :59:34.goalkeeper. Given away far too cheaply. Beautiful strike.
:59:35. > :59:43.One touch, outside of the boot and it swings past Courtois. A belter of
:59:44. > :59:47.a goal. I think he will be delighted with most of the first half, apart
:59:48. > :59:52.from one moment when his defence switched off.
:59:53. > :59:57.Rondon has done well to get beyond Terry and into the middle. The
:59:58. > :00:02.header forces a save from Terry and into the middle. The
:00:03. > :00:08.from McClean. Ivanovic had switched off, that's for sure. McClean did
:00:09. > :00:13.well to get the header on target. Anxious on the bench. Feisty at The
:00:14. > :00:20.Hawthorns back in August when Terry was sent off. Yacob was sent off
:00:21. > :00:26.here last season, Fabregas at The Hawthorns. Diego Costa is fouled off
:00:27. > :00:34.the ball. The referee pulls things back. Yacob was the defender. He's
:00:35. > :00:38.already been booked. Diego Costa was certainly tripped. Yacob is lucky,
:00:39. > :00:44.and I think that will probably be his last chance. Willian or Zouma
:00:45. > :00:51.and give it some clout. Willian sends it up and over. West Brom

:02:18. > :02:24.2-2, and they have come back again. Would you believe it! Another
:02:25. > :02:28.spirited response from Tony Pulis's team. It's all because Chelsea
:02:29. > :02:32.switched off there. That's what he can do at his best. McClean scores
:02:33. > :02:34.for West Bromwich can do at his best. McClean scores
:02:35. > :02:40.Stamford Bridge. They really good game.
:02:41. > :02:46.The unbeaten run goes on but we would prefer to have the victory. We
:02:47. > :02:52.were leading twice and couldn't hold it and that is a pity. Would have
:02:53. > :02:57.been better, of course, in this unbeaten area of games to have the
:02:58. > :03:00.win, but it was different. We are pleased, it's a difficult place to
:03:01. > :03:07.come to and they have some wonderful players. To work as hard as we did,
:03:08. > :03:12.to go toe to toe at times, it was a great game. A great advert for the
:03:13. > :03:16.Premier League. It's never nice to see opposition players running over
:03:17. > :03:25.and waving imaginary yellow cards. It's a lack of respect, it's not
:03:26. > :03:28.nice, and credit to the referee who didn't bow to the pressure. The
:03:29. > :03:34.manager made a wise decision taking him off when he did! STUDIO: Both
:03:35. > :03:40.sides giving excellent performances. Once again, the histrionics of Mr
:03:41. > :03:45.Costa that caught the eye. You're right, I thought West Brom were
:03:46. > :03:48.superb. But it's a shame from Costa. The last couple of games he has
:03:49. > :03:53.looked like the player from last season, running behind and being a
:03:54. > :03:58.threat, aggressive in the right way. Tonight, you think, why are you
:03:59. > :04:05.doing this? He started well, plays a part in the goal. And this starts,
:04:06. > :04:11.Jonas Olsson, he gives him a shove. Into the referee's face. It's so
:04:12. > :04:15.easy to wind him up. The first few minutes of the game, as a defender
:04:16. > :04:21.you know exactly what to do to wind him up. Physicality is a big part of
:04:22. > :04:24.the Premier League and we let nothing better than a good tussle
:04:25. > :04:28.between eight good defender and good attacker, but he takes it too far,
:04:29. > :04:32.it's petty and childish. attacker, but he takes it too far,
:04:33. > :04:36.distraction to himself and the team. They don't have back-to-back wins
:04:37. > :04:39.yet, and in this situation you need calm players to keep a cool head and
:04:40. > :04:46.I don't think he's doing his team any favours. There are reports that
:04:47. > :04:51.we haven't had confirmed that he punched a hole in the tunnel at the
:04:52. > :04:56.end. Tony Pulis gets the best out of his team. Chelsea only had two shots
:04:57. > :05:03.on target, which tells you how well West Brom defended. Superb. Two
:05:04. > :05:06.games now, coming up shortly, Southampton against Watford, but

:05:46. > :05:49.appointment last January. Towards Mbokani and it was Shawcross with
:05:50. > :05:55.the header away. Nicely done by Joselu. He sends the ball forward
:05:56. > :06:01.and it's tempting ball the shot across goal pushed wide to safety by

:06:38. > :06:42.from Joselu. A long backpass, gathered by Jack

:07:28. > :07:33.Butland. Odjidja-Ofoe's ball forward. Wouldn't quite drop for
:07:34. > :07:38.Mbokani. Ryan Bennett had the shot. The ball fell to Ryan Bennett and

:08:45. > :08:50.Walters with his seventh goal of the season. The 11 men of Stoke have
:08:51. > :08:54.found a way through. Excellent play from Arnautovic. The cross was in
:08:55. > :08:59.that dangerous area between defence and goalkeeper. Jon Walters slides
:09:00. > :09:05.in. That's woken up the Britannia crowd. About time
:09:06. > :09:16.in. That's woken up the Britannia what Mark Hughes is saying.

:11:58. > :12:02.certain tackles you need to make at times, and that wasn't one of them.
:12:03. > :12:05.It gave us a difficult task. I thought we started really well. 35
:12:06. > :12:09.minutes, nothing in a game with chances at both ends and we were
:12:10. > :12:14.holding our own. Sometimes it is more difficult to play against ten
:12:15. > :12:18.men than 11. They keep their organisation, get people behind the
:12:19. > :12:19.ball, which they did to good effect. We challenge ourselves every year
:12:20. > :12:23.ball, which they did to good effect. try to do better than we did last

:15:16. > :15:21.turf. Nowhere to go there. It might fall
:15:22. > :15:30.kindly here for Shane Long! Saved by Gomes. Cleared by Holebas who was
:15:31. > :15:35.caught as he did so. The spin on the ball took it to Shane Long.
:15:36. > :15:46.Comfortable for Gomes, the Watford goalkeeper. A man who scored a few
:15:47. > :15:53.in his time there, Matt Le Tissier. Almost into trouble! Mane is there.
:15:54. > :16:08.Great chance. Oh, he's missed! What a chance. What a lucky escape there
:16:09. > :16:12.for Watford. Just look at this. That had 2-0 written all over it
:16:13. > :16:31.until it left his boot. It falls now for Rmeu. Good save by
:16:32. > :16:34.Gomes. These are not easy conditions for goalkeepers.
:16:35. > :16:42.He's had a couple of really good saves today. Pushing the ball away

:17:04. > :17:09.clear of Britos, sliding in at the far post. It evades Long and Mane
:17:10. > :17:13.can't turn it home. Might be feeling a little anxious, because he knows
:17:14. > :17:17.his team have had lapses at times in recent weeks. For all their good
:17:18. > :17:23.play and opportunities and threat, it's still just a one-goal lead.
:17:24. > :17:28.Come it be tw? -- could it be two? First touch of the ball and he
:17:29. > :17:33.scores! Now they'll be feeling more
:17:34. > :17:51.confident of collecting all three points. Tadic who replaced Mane kept
:17:52. > :17:55.his cool here, evading Prodl. Before sliding it underneath the
:17:56. > :18:02.right hand glove of Gomes. Southampton 2, Watford 0.
:18:03. > :18:05.That tells you what he thinks of it. Not one of their better nights of

:18:31. > :18:36.feeling. Well deserved, because from the start until the last second we
:18:37. > :18:43.dominate the game and we score two goals, but we should score four or
:18:44. > :18:52.five maybe. It's a good win and the performance was today on a high
:18:53. > :19:00.level in every aspect of football. It was not the worst match we play,
:19:01. > :19:03.Southampton play much better than us, to win. The fans, the support,
:19:04. > :19:08.every time they are supporting the team, more than ever supporting the
:19:09. > :19:12.players. Well, a rare off day for Watford but credit to Southampton. A
:19:13. > :19:17.good performance. Yeah, they needed it, Gary. Only won one in eight

:19:23. > :19:27.from Targett, in with pace. Long attacking the goal. Hemmed it down
:19:28. > :19:33.into the corner and Gomes has no chance. Kept on creating chance
:19:34. > :19:37.after chance. Mane this time. A brilliant save from Gomes. One on
:19:38. > :19:41.one again. He should score here. It's a big chance. Through the legs?
:19:42. > :19:47.Yeah, should have gone through the legs. Tadic comes on for Mane. Good
:19:48. > :19:51.composure and quick feet. Finished the game off. A big win for
:19:52. > :19:57.Southampton, they needed it. Lovely finish. Pace up there. Composure.
:19:58. > :20:02.Good feet. Quick feet. Very good. Good win for them. As for the
:20:03. > :20:08.previous game we saw, Stoke and Norwich, one of the craziest red
:20:09. > :20:12.cards of the season. Yeah. I think O'Neill had explaining to do to his
:20:13. > :20:16.team and manager afterwards. What was he thinking? Must be a brain
:20:17. > :20:21.freeze. The ball is going out of play. It's only one decision. They
:20:22. > :20:25.had to play for 60 minutes against a very good Stoke side with a man
:20:26. > :20:33.down. Yeah, it's hard to explain. I give him an extra game probably for
:20:34. > :20:38.stupidity. Out of nowhere, no reason, no danger, no threat.
:20:39. > :20:44.Bizarre. A couple of decent goals in the game, though. There was. A
:20:45. > :20:56.superb strike got them back into the game. On the half. That was to get
:20:57. > :21:00.it back to 1-1. Great awareness and touch. Goes through the defender's
:21:01. > :21:04.legs. Not had the best of times since he came to Stoke. He is a
:21:05. > :21:08.talented player. That will set him up now hopefully. Stoke are solid.
:21:09. > :21:12.Yeah, a good side. A real threat going forward. We finish with two
:21:13. > :21:16.matches played last night. Shortly we will see bottom of the table
:21:17. > :21:25.Aston Villa take on Crystal Palace, but before that it's Bournemouth and

:22:26. > :22:31.Vitality Stadium. Might have taken a touch on the way through. Adrian got
:22:32. > :22:36.a hand on that. Might be disappointed he didn't keep it out.
:22:37. > :22:44.But Harry Arter won't mind about that, he has given Bournemouth the

:22:52. > :22:56.Francis again. Good run. Concedes the corner. Bournemouth, having
:22:57. > :23:04.scored the goal, are looking for another straightaway.

:27:00. > :27:03.a shout of handball. It was hit with some power. But it's the way he
:27:04. > :27:15.throws himself at the ball that will be the question.
:27:16. > :27:19.Considered it, decided no penalty. Former boss and interested onlooker

:27:26. > :27:32.Antonio. Wins the free kick. No Payet on the field to take it. A
:27:33. > :27:37.strong man, Antonio. Saw the opening there and went for it. Boruc has
:27:38. > :27:44.been beaten twice this evening but nothing he could have done about
:27:45. > :27:49.either. Can Valencia do what Dimitri did? Yes, he can. Another brilliant
:27:50. > :27:55.free kick from West Ham. That will be that tonight. They're going to

:28:00. > :28:04.Boruc just stood there and watched it happen. It's one of those dippers

:28:12. > :28:17.Ends up making Boruc look a little foolish. But it's a sweet strike
:28:18. > :28:21.from Valencia. Bournemouth 1, West Ham 3. We were very pleased to go
:28:22. > :28:25.ahead obviously, scored a good goal and had good openings after that. I
:28:26. > :28:30.think you always need the second goal or want it. It didn't come.
:28:31. > :28:33.Second half we fell off our levels and West Ham took control of the
:28:34. > :28:37.game. But still it took two moments of real quality to swing the game in
:28:38. > :28:44.their favour. We changed a bit of shape at half-time and then we just
:28:45. > :28:48.told them to match Bournemouth in spaces, they're good at second balls
:28:49. > :28:53.and aggression and everything and to play with more bravery and to play
:28:54. > :28:59.with more confidence. That's exactly what we done. We got a reward with a
:29:00. > :29:05.great win. Great away win. It's not easy when you play away from home to
:29:06. > :29:14.turn the game around. We done that and it's great boost for our
:29:15. > :29:19.confidence, as well. A first Premier League appearance since 2013 for
:29:20. > :29:32.Mark Bunn. A surprise for Aston Villa.
:29:33. > :29:51.A minor twaek to Crystal Palace's side. Intreeking nonetheless.
:29:52. > :30:00.They were booed off as they left the field at Wycombe Wanderers. Aston
:30:01. > :30:06.Villa's first task is to restore the faith of those who lost it at the
:30:07. > :30:13.weekend. Against the post already from Jason Puncheon, Zaha grits his
:30:14. > :30:16.teeth in frustration. Within the opening seconds, Crystal Palace
:30:17. > :30:19.could and maybe should have been in front. What a horrendous start that

:30:22. > :30:31.restore belief. It's an opportunity here for Crystal

:30:38. > :30:49.Bakary Sako can hit with his left, and he really did hit it. It fizzes
:30:50. > :30:52.over the bar. Crystal Palace's away record is the envy of most in the
:30:53. > :30:59.Premier League. At the start of play, only Leicester and Arsenal had
:31:00. > :31:04.a better away record. Ayew into the side netting. A small section of the
:31:05. > :31:08.ground on the near side thought it had gone into the roof of the net. I
:31:09. > :31:12.think Wayne Hennessey was always confident it was going wide. Libor
:31:13. > :31:18.Kozak has been included for that kind of reason. Ayew running off him

:31:22. > :31:33.Sako tussling and wins the free kick. Cabaye giving out the signals
:31:34. > :31:41.and delivering towards Delaney. It nearly crept in. Maybe a foot beyond
:31:42. > :31:42.the far post. Look how close that was to giving Crystal Palace the
:31:43. > :31:57.lead. In towards Kozak. Picked off by
:31:58. > :32:03.Dann. The referee says no foul on Kozak. Kozak is straight back to his
:32:04. > :32:09.feet, still Kozak, and a deflection, just tipped away by Wayne Hennessey.
:32:10. > :32:15.Moments before he got the ball, Kozak was on the deck. When Ayew
:32:16. > :32:21.played it to him, he sprang into life. Almost squeezing the ball into
:32:22. > :32:27.the back of the goal. Crystal Palace have gone almost five hours with
:32:28. > :32:30.almost the Premier League goal. -- without a Premier League goal.

:32:56. > :33:01.take the lead? It's on target and over the line and in! Lescott is the
:33:02. > :33:07.scorer. Aston Villa in front for only the sixth time this Premier
:33:08. > :33:11.League season. It was a calamitous goal. Lescott barely celebrates but
:33:12. > :33:16.the Villa Park faithful are in delirious. Aston Villa have

:36:11. > :36:14.might let him off. Still a mistake. Crystal Palace, four games without a
:36:15. > :36:19.goal, their strikers are struggling, and Pardew mentioned they are coming
