:00:44. > :00:50.Hello, seven games from the Barclays Premier League to bring you as the
:00:51. > :00:55.finish line comes ever closer. 65 home-grown players on show, who
:00:56. > :01:00.better to have with us than the England manager Roy Hodgson,
:01:01. > :01:03.alongside Alan Shearer. March 1997 was the last time Sunderland beat
:01:04. > :01:09.Manchester United at home in the league and that was at Roker Park.
:01:10. > :01:16.Both sides got a point last weekend. COMMENTATOR: And early start for two
:01:17. > :01:20.sides on the opposite end of late drama last weekend. Sunderland
:01:21. > :01:24.recovered a 2-goal gap at Liverpool and that fight must they with them
:01:25. > :01:27.until the end of the year and they need to keep Jermain Defoe fit. He
:01:28. > :01:33.has passed the test on a hamstring injury to play today but Andre yet
:01:34. > :01:38.lin comes in, Duncan Watmore is injured. The other Sunderland scorer
:01:39. > :01:45.a week ago, Adam Johnson was sacked by the club on Thursday. For United,
:01:46. > :01:48.one change, Morgan Schneiderlin comes in former Rwanda Fellaini.
:01:49. > :02:00.Needing to be rested and borderline injured according to Louis van Gaal.
:02:01. > :02:09.Wilkin was the score five goals in the game against Norwich on Monday.
:02:10. > :02:12.Sunderland looking to do something they have not done yet in the
:02:13. > :02:18.Premier League, beat Manchester United at the Stadium Of Light. Van
:02:19. > :02:32.Aanholt was blocked. Sunderland United at the Stadium Of Light. Van
:02:33. > :02:37.a free kick. A chance for Wahbi Khazri to get the ball into the box,
:02:38. > :02:42.the Tunisian international, not an impressive free kick but it has gone
:02:43. > :02:48.in. Would you believe that? What a start for Sunderland and what a
:02:49. > :02:51.miserable 14 Sunderland -- Manchester United and David de Gea.
:02:52. > :02:56.It is a mis-hit, Jermain Defoe somehow manages to get out of the
:02:57. > :02:59.way and it goes all the way through and in. You wonder if he had an idea
:03:00. > :03:06.that he might catch people out behind him. And Khazri, by hook or
:03:07. > :03:13.by crook, with a huge drug of luck gets his first Sunderland goal. I
:03:14. > :03:23.know that Sam Allardyce has been impressed by what he has seen of
:03:24. > :03:31.Wahbi Khazri. Van Aanholt cannot find the Cattermole again. And it
:03:32. > :03:38.Defoe keeps going. But he could not get away through 2-goal. Great
:03:39. > :03:41.persistence shown by van Aanholt. Manchester United had three goes at
:03:42. > :03:48.clearing that and, Chris Smalling, played it against the foe. First
:03:49. > :03:53.note for the Manchester United manager to take. Martial, but it was
:03:54. > :04:07.well timed by Andre yet lin. It had to be put anywhere but
:04:08. > :04:17.straight into the chest of Vito Mannone.
:04:18. > :04:27.In quickly came Khazri, goalkick. A bit of pain for Matthew Darnley as
:04:28. > :04:34.well. He landed on the left shoulder and that did not help. An comes a
:04:35. > :04:42.very appropriate Valentine's Day debutant, Donald Love. He will be 22
:04:43. > :04:49.a week on Wednesday. A changing face and may be the future of Manchester
:04:50. > :04:58.United. It is not clear yet, the one matter, it is turned in by Martial.
:04:59. > :05:03.Quick in thought and deed. Martial goes into double figures for the
:05:04. > :05:07.club, his 10th goal for United. A good save by Vito Mannone but
:05:08. > :05:13.Martial was always looking for the chance. Played a part in the
:05:14. > :05:19.build-up with a run into the box and kept up the move and a neat finish
:05:20. > :05:29.to squeeze it home from that angle. 1-1.
:05:30. > :05:39.He has the time to clear but the pass is cut out. Lingard is waiting
:05:40. > :05:42.for it. Sunderland after going a goal up have largely been in
:05:43. > :05:46.defensive mode in the first half and they are coming at United now and it
:05:47. > :05:52.is deflected wide off Daley Blind. It goes down as a goal saving
:05:53. > :05:57.challenge. Van Aanholt in and Defoe trying to flick it in but denied by
:05:58. > :06:01.Daley Blind. Did not know a lot about it, hit the trailing leg.
:06:02. > :06:05.Louis van Gaal was talking about the progress of his young players this
:06:06. > :06:13.week when he came out with a lovely turn of phrase "It is not always
:06:14. > :06:16.sunshine and hallelujah." Carrick, a sliding Yann M'Vila takes the ball
:06:17. > :06:31.away from him. The flag has stayed down. Good block by David de Gea. "
:06:32. > :06:38.But the right one. He timed his run. A big saved by the hay's right boot.
:06:39. > :06:41.Sunderland are going to A big saved by the hay's right boot.
:06:42. > :06:51.more running to get anything from the game.
:06:52. > :07:02.He was pulled away from the ball by Memphis as he tried to adjust. It
:07:03. > :07:10.comes in from Yann M'Vila, Smalling. Saved by David de Gea. And I think
:07:11. > :07:21.it needed to be. Brought by Saved by David de Gea. And I think
:07:22. > :07:26.Allardyce to keep goes out and he almost scored a spectacular
:07:27. > :07:32.Allardyce to keep goes out and he his own. Good skill, beats Fabio
:07:33. > :07:34.Borini, Memphis tried to pass it into the goal but too close to Vito
:07:35. > :07:42.Mannone. The into the goal but too close to Vito
:07:43. > :07:47.scored in November and only scored once in his last 19 Manchester
:07:48. > :07:50.United games. Fabio Borini breezes past, the forces of corner by
:07:51. > :07:56.drilling the ball against Daley Blind. A burst of what he can bring
:07:57. > :08:06.for Sunderland. Khazri with the corner. Can he get another one? Too
:08:07. > :08:11.often you see at this level of the game, Corners hit the first
:08:12. > :08:18.defender, he has not done that once yet. In a game by Khazri, great
:08:19. > :08:27.chance and it is in. Kone has powered them back in front. It is
:08:28. > :08:32.another brilliant corner. Kone could not have met that any more sweetly.
:08:33. > :08:36.He gets away from his marker, watching the ball all the way on to
:08:37. > :08:38.his forehead and it is the force he puts on it which is too much for
:08:39. > :08:48.-- David de Gea to keep out. There Martial and the gay to
:08:49. > :08:56.-- David de Gea to keep out. There is excitement in the Stadium Of
:08:57. > :09:01.Light. Memphis breaks into the box. Beaten clear by Vito Mannone.
:09:02. > :09:05.Whacked further away by Khazri. It is of them said about Vito Mannone
:09:06. > :09:16.Carrick will get always but he is a shot stopper.
:09:17. > :09:25.Carrick will get Boucher away. No more
:09:26. > :09:28.Carrick will get Of Light. For the first time in the
:09:29. > :09:33.Premier League, Sunderland have beaten Manchester United. It is a
:09:34. > :09:42.huge result for Sam Allardyce's team. 2-1 and what is Sam Allardyce
:09:43. > :09:49.engineering here with the signings he made in the month of January? Is
:09:50. > :09:53.that deserved today? I think so. You saw the chances we created and the
:09:54. > :09:57.that deserved today? I think so. You to make. I thought it was fully
:09:58. > :10:04.deserved but it has been to make. I thought it was fully
:10:05. > :10:07.bit. We did not play to make. I thought it was fully
:10:08. > :10:11.Liverpool but we showed the spirit and got a point and today we put it
:10:12. > :10:21.together and got a fantastic win. How big a blow is it losing today?
:10:22. > :10:29.It is of course a big blow. I said we have to win this match because we
:10:30. > :10:36.have to be in the race for the top four positions in the league. You
:10:37. > :10:42.have to win these kind of matches. I think we can only blame ourselves. I
:10:43. > :10:47.thought the result was right, on the balance of chances created today, a
:10:48. > :10:52.2-1 victory for us was what we deserved. We deserved it from the
:10:53. > :10:57.very start when we scored the first goal and it shows the importance of
:10:58. > :11:02.set plays. We have found a lad who delivers a great ball. You mention
:11:03. > :11:07.top four, how difficult will that be now? Very difficult, I said that to
:11:08. > :11:13.the players because you cannot close your eyes and forget. Quite
:11:14. > :11:18.defeatist from Louis Van ha but a huge win for Sunderland. Was it a
:11:19. > :11:23.deserved win? I thought so, I agreed with John O'Shea and Sam. At the
:11:24. > :11:27.start of the game they were really good, taking the
:11:28. > :11:29.start of the game they were really pressurising the ball well and
:11:30. > :11:33.throughout, they were strong in all the battles they created. In the
:11:34. > :11:40.end, I think the result was only a fair one. This was the start of the
:11:41. > :11:44.game. There were a few examples like this but this shows the
:11:45. > :11:48.determination not to give the ball up, it was across that could so
:11:49. > :11:53.easily have been given up. It is a past that could have been given up
:11:54. > :11:57.but they are determined not to. Cattermole had an excellent first
:11:58. > :12:03.half, winning challenges like that. In the end, it leads to a goal
:12:04. > :12:06.chance. There was no doubt that David de Gea was the busier of the
:12:07. > :12:13.goalkeepers. Their determination and desire made and merited the victory.
:12:14. > :12:21.The new signings made a difference as well? He has played his football
:12:22. > :12:25.around Europe, he has come up trumps again. It was not a particularly
:12:26. > :12:29.good ball from Khazri, the front man, but it causes Manchester United
:12:30. > :12:36.all sorts of problems. I look at the back line, where other leaders, they
:12:37. > :12:39.are far too deep. They are on the edge of the 18-yard box before the
:12:40. > :12:43.ball is kicked and because they are too deep they are not able to deal
:12:44. > :12:48.with that free kick. They are all on top of David de Gea, Defoe does not
:12:49. > :12:53.touch it, nor does Martial. It was not a particular good ball in but
:12:54. > :12:57.David de Gea has no chance of getting it. Another fantastic ball
:12:58. > :13:01.in, a great league and movement by Kone. But Smalling has to hold up
:13:02. > :13:07.his hands here, it is a mistake by him. Billions movement and a good
:13:08. > :13:10.ball in but it is poor defensively from Manchester United. You look for
:13:11. > :13:16.your leaders and I do not see many in that back line. That was given as
:13:17. > :13:20.an own goal for David de Gea because Martial kicks it off the line and it
:13:21. > :13:26.goes back in office back which I think is very harsh. Where does this
:13:27. > :13:30.leave Louis van Gaal? I do not think Manchester United are any further
:13:31. > :13:36.forward than when he took over. I do not see any progression whatsoever
:13:37. > :13:42.despite spending ?250 million. What will be hugely alarming is that
:13:43. > :13:48.there are so many newspaper and media outlets going on about Jose
:13:49. > :13:52.Mourinho. Not one person from here Manchester United has come out and
:13:53. > :13:56.the night that, that must be worrying for him. I would have
:13:57. > :14:00.thought so. Roy, you were watching Wayne Rooney and you must be
:14:01. > :14:05.encouraged by the fact that he has seven goals in eight games. But he
:14:06. > :14:09.was quiet today. I saw Manchester United last week and I thought they
:14:10. > :14:12.played really well against Chelsea. I was surprised they could not kick
:14:13. > :14:17.on from there because their performance was not as good today as
:14:18. > :14:23.last week. Wayne was excellent last week. Today was not so easy for him.
:14:24. > :14:28.We are pleased that he seems to have pulled himself out of the trough he
:14:29. > :14:33.found himself in for a while. He is important for us going forward and
:14:34. > :14:39.we will depend upon him in the Euros. I can only go back to my time
:14:40. > :14:43.with England and look at centre forwards that were around. The list
:14:44. > :14:50.was endless, Fowler, Ferdinand, Ian Wright. Andy Cole. You must be
:14:51. > :14:55.delighted with the form of Harry Kane, Wayne Rooney and Jamie Vardy.
:14:56. > :15:00.The lack of fitness must be a concern. It is good to have players
:15:01. > :15:05.of that type. We have a very good balance now with our forward line.
:15:06. > :15:11.We have a lot of possibilities in terms of the formation that we can
:15:12. > :15:14.play. We can play in a diamond with 2-macro/someone in behind them all
:15:15. > :15:19.with one centre forward and have the wider players coming in from the
:15:20. > :15:22.sides. The big thing is that Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy have been such
:15:23. > :15:26.a sensation and Wayne Rooney is Wayne Rooney. On top of that we hope
:15:27. > :15:29.to have Danny Welbeck and Theo Walcott scoring some goals for
:15:30. > :15:34.Arsenal. The situation in terms of front players is as strong as it has
:15:35. > :15:40.ever been since I have been national team manager.
:15:41. > :16:04.Newcastle's 1-0 win over West Brom last weekend lifted them out
:16:05. > :16:07.of the relegation zone and they travelled to a Chelsea side
:16:08. > :16:23.COMMENTATOR: Another day, another mask. Diego Costa one of two masked
:16:24. > :16:31.men for Chelsea today, Azpilicueta is the other. Costa have made
:16:32. > :16:39.himself irreplaceable again despite his broken knows. Shelvey was most
:16:40. > :16:47.value-for-money deal. The more significant numbers suggest that
:16:48. > :16:58.Newcastle need points. Fabregas. A decent ball to Diego Costa. Taylor
:16:59. > :17:01.rather's scooped clearance finds Pedro. Chelsea have started the game
:17:02. > :17:15.briskly. Here's John Terry. Willian, away from Tiote. Diego
:17:16. > :17:18.Costa's made a run. Willian's found him. Diego Costa has found a way
:17:19. > :17:21.Costa's made a run. Willian's found scoop it into the net. Chelsea in
:17:22. > :17:27.front, just a little over four minutes played. Diego Costa is in
:17:28. > :17:34.the goals again. Mask or not, it doesn't matter. Lovely little run
:17:35. > :17:38.from Willian. Clever ball into Diego Costa. It's an exquisite finish.
:17:39. > :17:56.That is not easy. Costa. It's an exquisite finish.
:17:57. > :17:59.perfect. Change the angle, past Elliot, Chelsea 1, Newcastle 0.
:18:00. > :18:04.Worse possible start for Steve McClaren who is already away from
:18:05. > :18:08.the Newcastle dug-out. Whether he is off to have a look from on high, I'm
:18:09. > :18:13.not sure. Can't stop scoring at the moment, Diego Costa. 12 for the
:18:14. > :18:23.season. Eight of those have come since Hiddink. Townsend. Aarons.
:18:24. > :18:30.Townsend wants the return, and gets it. A dink ball in, it's dealt with
:18:31. > :18:36.by Cahill. It will be a Newcastle throw. He probably went down into
:18:37. > :18:41.the dressing room to look for plan B. Can't be accused of not spending
:18:42. > :18:46.this season, Newcastle. Ale free-kick for the foul on Aarons.
:18:47. > :18:58.Shelvey takes a mean free-kick, if he gets it right. Driven
:18:59. > :19:04.to Fabregas. Eden Hazard off after the Spaniard's clearance. That's a
:19:05. > :19:12.poor ball. Pedro is away. Pedro - make it is 2-0. Newcastle have shot
:19:13. > :19:17.themselves in the foot here. They're 2-0 down inside nine minutes. A
:19:18. > :19:26.Chelsea goal that started with a Newcastle set-piece. Rolando Aarons
:19:27. > :19:37.giving the ball away. Pedro onto the square ball and a very tidy finish.
:19:38. > :19:40.Sold down the river by the pass from the young left-back who couldn't get
:19:41. > :19:45.back in time. A really good finish from Pedro. Oh dear, oh dear. The
:19:46. > :19:49.only thing you would say is - there's a long way to go.
:19:50. > :19:54.only thing you would say is - trying to dictate the play. Danger
:19:55. > :20:00.of a counter-attack from Chelsea is ever present. Sissoko.
:20:01. > :20:04.of a counter-attack from Chelsea is won it, Fabregas. Another a chase on
:20:05. > :20:15.Diego Costa with Coloccini. Willian is arriving. Diego Costa - brilliant
:20:16. > :20:19.pass. 3-0. 17th minute of the game, Coloccini exposed and undone.
:20:20. > :20:24.pass. 3-0. 17th minute of the game, quality of the pass to Willian here
:20:25. > :20:33.from Diego Costa? Great run from Willian. Brilliantly found by Diego
:20:34. > :20:38.Costa. Who returns the favour to Willian for the first goal. Some
:20:39. > :20:44.strange things have happened this season. Many of them here at
:20:45. > :20:48.Stamford Bridge. But no-one, no-one would expect Newcastle to get
:20:49. > :20:53.anything from this game now. Is a few moments ago, when it was 2-0, I
:20:54. > :20:54.was saying the only thing in Newcastle's favour is there is a
:20:55. > :21:00.long time to play. Newcastle's favour is there is a
:21:01. > :21:05.Newcastle is - there's a long time to play. Azpilicueta off the mark.
:21:06. > :21:09.Shelvey is caught. Diego Costa. Good save by Elliot. Pedro couldn't help
:21:10. > :21:14.himself to a second and a fourth for Chelsea. Again, Newcastle, caught in
:21:15. > :21:22.possession, giving it away. Jonjo Shelvey this time. Diego Costa in.
:21:23. > :21:26.Really weak effort. Well, this is a problem for Chelsea. Captain,
:21:27. > :21:30.leader, legend, John Terry bgs as they call him, 37th minute of
:21:31. > :21:34.leader, legend, John Terry bgs as game, limping away with PSG to come
:21:35. > :21:47.in a week. That's probably where he has picked up the injury in
:21:48. > :21:57.in a week. That's probably where he tangle with Mitrovic. Sissoko.
:21:58. > :21:59.in a week. That's probably where he front of Townsend.
:22:00. > :22:04.in a week. That's probably where he and hurt. Look at that. Roger East
:22:05. > :22:09.had a great view of it. Inside the penalty area. Nobody seems to be
:22:10. > :22:13.appealing for it, from Newcastle's point of view. A better start to the
:22:14. > :22:26.second-half for Newcastle. Would have had to go some for it to be
:22:27. > :22:32.worse. Got the better of Baba here. Well hit, it's not far away. They
:22:33. > :22:41.have asked a question or two of Chelsea's defence. Mitrovic only a
:22:42. > :22:51.matter of inches away here. Jonjo Shelvey this time. Matic.
:22:52. > :23:02.Fabregas. Pedro, making a run. Fabregas finds him beautifully. Now
:23:03. > :23:11.Pedro - 4-0! Newcastle's brief rally didn't last long. Pedro makes it
:23:12. > :23:16.four. And, maybe his best game for Chelsea so far. Globious ball from
:23:17. > :23:19.Fabregas to Pedro. Tucked away confidently. He had three
:23:20. > :23:24.one-on-ones and taken two of them. confidently. He had three
:23:25. > :23:31.don't think that's his arm, I think that's right up on his chest. It's a
:23:32. > :23:38.good finish. It's a long way to come. Chelsea's biggest Premier
:23:39. > :23:45.League win of the season this. As it stands anyway. Nice. Cesar
:23:46. > :23:51.Azpilicueta in behind Aarons. Oh, it's five! Beautifully done, Traore
:23:52. > :23:58.sticks away his first ever Premier League goal. A little one-two was
:23:59. > :24:04.delightfully executed. First time ball into the box was really sharply
:24:05. > :24:08.delivered. It was tucked away by Traore. Azpilicueta has had a very
:24:09. > :24:15.good game in a Chelsea defence, which has been largely untested.
:24:16. > :24:22.It's a lovely ball in to Traore. He slides in Chelsea's fifth. Steve
:24:23. > :24:26.McClaren is going to take his players on some weather training. I
:24:27. > :24:28.think some of the supporters wouldn't mind a bit of that, they
:24:29. > :24:33.probably deserve it more. wouldn't mind a bit of that, they
:24:34. > :24:38.great ball. Eden Hazard here - oh, it's just wide! His only goal this
:24:39. > :24:42.season was a penalty kick, which is extraordinary for a player who
:24:43. > :24:47.scored so many goals last term. Just a funny little touch. That touch
:24:48. > :24:55.looks like it's going in. He trod on the ball and squirmed it wide of the
:24:56. > :25:00.post. Colback to Townsend. Townsend being chased by Baba. Might take it
:25:01. > :25:07.all the way himself. Oh, good goal by Townsend. A flash there of just
:25:08. > :25:11.why Newcastle invested ?12 million in him. The shake of his head
:25:12. > :25:16.indicates what he thinks of the afternoon as a whole. A good goal,
:25:17. > :25:20.positive, direct, well-executed. Courtois will be furious his clean
:25:21. > :25:23.sheet has gone. The worrying thing for Newcastle is, it wasn't even
:25:24. > :25:29.their heaviest defeat of the season. They were awful today. Chelsea 5,
:25:30. > :25:32.Newcastle 1. I think we caused our own problems by not being able to
:25:33. > :25:37.deal with the ball, I think. We knew Chelsea would come out quick. They
:25:38. > :25:41.put an attacking team out. I said the first 20 minutes are we vital we
:25:42. > :25:45.got through them. We got through them, 3-0 down. We tried to surprise
:25:46. > :25:50.them in the beginning because here everyone knows we have a game on
:25:51. > :25:57.Tuesday. We have a little time. When you start a game sloppy and then you
:25:58. > :26:00.have to press in the later part of the game. That is why we tried to
:26:01. > :26:04.surprise them. Happenfully, it worked out. We need to pick up
:26:05. > :26:09.points away from home. We won't do playing like this and giving away
:26:10. > :26:13.goals. We need to solve that and make sure 12 games to go, 18 days
:26:14. > :26:20.reflection. Hard work. We need to get some fit and some fitter. 12 cup
:26:21. > :26:24.finals to come. I will give you a few seconds to calm down about
:26:25. > :26:28.Newcastle. Thanks. We will start with Chelsea it. Was like watching
:26:29. > :26:32.Chelsea we have gun to watch over many years. Brilliant from start to
:26:33. > :26:38.finish. Outclassed Newcastle. The one guy who has been constant all
:26:39. > :26:42.season and exempt of any criticism I think has been Willian. Willian
:26:43. > :26:48.today I thought was absolutely superb. As he has been as I said all
:26:49. > :26:51.season. He was all over the park. He got his goal, defended and worked
:26:52. > :26:57.hard. He setting the tone here for Chelsea. Early in the game,ing hard,
:26:58. > :27:02.closing them down and letting Newcastle know they are in for a
:27:03. > :27:07.game straightaway. Running with the ball, pace with it. Not only that,
:27:08. > :27:13.the weight of pass to Diego Costa for his goal. It's absolutely
:27:14. > :27:16.fantastic. This is his goal. Costa pays back the compliment for him.
:27:17. > :27:20.What is impressive about him, look at him getting into the box much you
:27:21. > :27:29.set me up, I will set you up. He puts it on a plate for him. He was
:27:30. > :27:33.just absolutely outstanding. This is three or four nil up. This is what
:27:34. > :27:38.Newcastle should be doing. He is an example of that all season. Ball
:27:39. > :27:45.into the box. Too quick. Brilliant ball across. They took him off with
:27:46. > :27:54.15 or 20 minutes to go, they said, we will give you a rest we have
:27:55. > :28:01.Paris St-Germain on Tuesday. He was brilliant. As for Newcastle is it
:28:02. > :28:06.round-up time? -- rant time? I will leave this to Roy. It has to be. An
:28:07. > :28:10.embarrassing performance from start to finish from Newcastle. They have
:28:11. > :28:13.ability in that that team. In their position I'd be worried where they
:28:14. > :28:17.are because ability is not enough. You need character. You need
:28:18. > :28:22.attitude. I'm not sure they've got enough of that. They haven't had it
:28:23. > :28:27.all season. They didn't have it today. He has to be extremely
:28:28. > :28:33.worried like the rest of the fans are. This is the free-kick, great
:28:34. > :28:36.position. First mistake, three defenders against one, one should be
:28:37. > :28:43.in front and one behind. Hazard should not get that ball. The second
:28:44. > :28:51.mistake, basic error. Thank you very much, a great finish. The way they
:28:52. > :28:55.attack Newcastle it's good to watch. He has five yards on Costa there. I
:28:56. > :28:59.don't think Diego Costa's quick. 'S not. He is a good player, not
:29:00. > :29:04.particularly quick. He puts it on a plate for Willian. Watch how easy it
:29:05. > :29:09.is for Willian to get in between Tiote a lack of effort from Tiote
:29:10. > :29:16.and a lack of effort from Janner trying to get back for him. Janmaat.
:29:17. > :29:21.Should not be allowed that time to run into the box. Janmaat not good
:29:22. > :29:25.enough. Taylor, again. A brilliant pass, yes, a great run but
:29:26. > :29:29.defensively it was embarrassing for Newcastle. It was hopeless. They
:29:30. > :29:33.have to improve. Seven goals away from home all season. That is the
:29:34. > :29:40.worst in all four divisions. I know. I know. Tells its own story. He gets
:29:41. > :29:45.upset Newcastle when they lose. Generally gets upset. Looking at
:29:46. > :29:50.England, Gary Cahill most picked player in all the European
:29:51. > :29:51.qualifiers in terms of defencer. Zouma injured, not playing that
:29:52. > :29:54.regularly. Zouma injured, not playing that
:29:55. > :29:58.when players are back in the starting line-up? Yes.
:29:59. > :29:59.when players are back in the for Zouma. Zouma was fortunate he
:30:00. > :31:02.got back in when Gary was injured COMMENTATOR: Since the start of
:31:03. > :31:06.lassi is, only Sergio Aguero and Harry Kane have scored more than
:31:07. > :31:12.Benik Afobe who has three in five games. I home side with one change,
:31:13. > :31:16.Stanislas coming in for Matt Ritchie. Stoke have not scored in
:31:17. > :31:21.four games, their worst run at this level in 31 years. John Walters
:31:22. > :31:27.recovering from a virus will hope to end that drought and heat replaces
:31:28. > :31:36.Arnautovic, the latest person with that bug.
:31:37. > :31:44.If they don't get the early breakthrough, they must be patient
:31:45. > :31:48.and certainly not go gung ho because they can get picked off on the
:31:49. > :31:51.counter by players like Shakira Eve. That is a good drive and a brilliant
:31:52. > :32:00.start for Stoke City. That is a good drive and a brilliant
:32:01. > :32:09.by Giannelli Imbula. That drought is broken now in the ninth minute.
:32:10. > :32:16.by Giannelli Imbula. That drought is danger there. As the ball comes out,
:32:17. > :32:22.he gets goal side and reactionary quickly. From range, the goalkeeper
:32:23. > :32:32.is beaten, it dropped nicely for him and the left foot bullet, he left
:32:33. > :32:33.for Marseille from Porto, he cost ?8 million last month
:32:34. > :32:43.for Marseille from Porto, he cost ?8 he knew Jean Eley Bula could do. A
:32:44. > :32:45.win could take Bournemouth eight points clear of the bottom three but
:32:46. > :32:54.win could take Bournemouth eight defeat could leave them perilously
:32:55. > :33:00.close to that drop zone again. Victory for Stoke would leave them
:33:01. > :33:01.just four points of 40 and ensuring another season in
:33:02. > :33:08.just four points of 40 and ensuring League. That was a great effort by
:33:09. > :33:14.Walters. He missed two of the last three games come and not really over
:33:15. > :33:16.the virus but he looked sharp there. Attention at the moment on ticket
:33:17. > :33:20.prices, Stoke are about to Attention at the moment on ticket
:33:21. > :33:29.the prices for a ninth successive season. Bournemouth have not
:33:30. > :33:39.threatened the Stoke goal at all. He is racing through the middle, a
:33:40. > :33:45.stumble, a coming together. Was Benik Afobe brought down? He did not
:33:46. > :33:51.get the ball but I do not think he played the man either. Two tactical
:33:52. > :34:00.changes the Bournemouth, and an enforced change for Stoke. First
:34:01. > :34:14.touch as a substitute, on for Mark Pugh. He has won the free kick. Matt
:34:15. > :34:20.Ritchie with the free kick, looking for Benik Afobe but it is clear the
:34:21. > :34:23.way. Johnson has stayed down and immediately it has fallen to the
:34:24. > :34:27.substitute. The follow-up from Matt Ritchie is blocked, Stoke are
:34:28. > :34:35.unhappy that Bournemouth played on and the referee allowed them to. A
:34:36. > :34:41.heavy fall for Johnson, having headed it away. Bournemouth did not
:34:42. > :34:50.hesitate, it bounced awkwardly high for King and the goalkeeper spread
:34:51. > :34:51.himself well. Giannelli Imbula, son of Congolese parents and brought up
:34:52. > :35:05.in Belgium. Can still break my good ball for
:35:06. > :35:13.Jonathan Walters. Support arriving in the middle, Afellay, a well taken
:35:14. > :35:17.Stoke second. Bournemouth made a attacking changes at half-time, when
:35:18. > :35:24.24-4- two and they have been picked off on the break. A well taken goal.
:35:25. > :35:28.He shaped his run beautifully, suffering injuries at the back, they
:35:29. > :35:33.knew they needed to get on with things. John Walters did
:35:34. > :35:38.brilliantly. Holding it up for his team am awaiting full support to
:35:39. > :35:40.arrive and that is a crisp finish. His first league goal for the
:35:41. > :35:44.arrive and that is a crisp finish. Wednesday in the League Cup. His
:35:45. > :35:53.eyes glued on the ball. Perfect technique. Afellay makes it two for
:35:54. > :35:59.the visitors. Great reaction from the bench, it has been a very good
:36:00. > :36:12.performance by Stoke. Joselu has come on for Stoke. They have a very
:36:13. > :36:15.unlikely back four, they have never played as a
:36:16. > :36:21.unlikely back four, they have never before and I dare say they never
:36:22. > :36:35.will again. But can Bournemouth take advantage of that from 2-0 down?
:36:36. > :36:47.In comes the corner and away by Francis. This is a good run by
:36:48. > :36:52.Shaqiri and that is three. A terrific header and he has only been
:36:53. > :36:57.on the pitch momentarily. Joselu's header makes it impossible now for
:36:58. > :36:59.Bournemouth surely. He has had injury problems and he has only been
:37:00. > :37:07.on the pitch for a couple of moments. What a cross by Shaqiri. On
:37:08. > :37:15.the outside, a little step over, he sets it up beautifully. A well taken
:37:16. > :37:20.header, 3-0 Stoke. On the field for two minutes. A lovely run by
:37:21. > :37:25.Shaqiri, the step over and the perfect chip back into the middle.
:37:26. > :37:31.Straight to the face of the game within two minutes of coming on.
:37:32. > :37:37.Even at 3-0 up, with a makeshift defence. I would not yet say that
:37:38. > :37:46.Stoke are safe. If Bournemouth can get a quick reaction, we could have
:37:47. > :37:50.an absolute thriller here. Daniels on that left-hand side. It comes
:37:51. > :37:59.across, Matt Ritchie. What a goal that is. This could turn out to be a
:38:00. > :38:03.terrific encounter now. But in two minutes of Joselu's header, that is
:38:04. > :38:07.a terrific goal. There would be a question as to why he is not in the
:38:08. > :38:11.starting line-up when he can finish like that. A good cross from the
:38:12. > :38:21.left and met perfectly on the swivel by Matt Ritchie. The Scottish
:38:22. > :38:28.international makes it 1-3. Andrew Surman's 67th league game in a row.
:38:29. > :38:33.It is a good ball into King, he needs a quality full-back, Ritchie
:38:34. > :38:38.with another chance. Intelligent football by Bournemouth and he was
:38:39. > :38:46.so very close to getting there. Goodness me. Wilson, out since the
:38:47. > :38:52.game up at Stoke. They have badly missed him. Ritchie with a lovely
:38:53. > :38:56.ball into the channel. King puts it across and it would not come for
:38:57. > :39:01.Stanislas. Bournemouth have had very good second-half chances. A flashing
:39:02. > :39:07.cross but could not get there. Bournemouth can ill afford to let
:39:08. > :39:13.home points slip away at this stage of the season. At 3-0 down against a
:39:14. > :39:21.resilient and experienced Premier League club, they gave themselves
:39:22. > :39:24.too much to do. A difficult game for us, we started brightly and they
:39:25. > :39:30.scored a superb goal out of nowhere. I have seen that denting our
:39:31. > :39:35.confidence and we never got it back. We needed to be a bit more resolute
:39:36. > :39:40.in terms of our shape today and we were. That gave us a platform to
:39:41. > :39:45.break quickly and we had the players to do that. Several crosses went
:39:46. > :39:50.across the box. We had a chance at the start of the second half, we did
:39:51. > :39:59.not work the goalkeeper anywhere near enough. Great moment, come on
:40:00. > :40:09.and score? Yes, a couple of minutes, the result is good for us. I scored
:40:10. > :40:16.and it was very easy for the rest of the game. Today was an opportunity
:40:17. > :40:22.to quieten some of the critics of us. We are doing OK, we have had
:40:23. > :40:30.difficulties at the back but we were OK today. It was one of the better
:40:31. > :40:33.away performances we have produced. Excellent performance, four good
:40:34. > :40:40.goals as well. We highlighted Sunderland's signings but Giannelli
:40:41. > :40:49.Imbula looks a good signing. ?8.5 million. It is a fantastic strike
:40:50. > :40:56.and he takes the pace of the deck. He said he was not content with
:40:57. > :41:01.starting it. Left foot, goalkeeper has no chance. He had a bit of
:41:02. > :41:06.everything about him. Not only his goal but he could play moving for
:41:07. > :41:12.them. Sitting in front of the back four are looking to get forward.
:41:13. > :41:16.Keeping the ball moving as I said. I thought it was a complete
:41:17. > :41:23.performance. He did his bit defensively Haswell. Very good
:41:24. > :41:30.tackle in the box. Skill on the ball, I thought it was a perfect
:41:31. > :41:33.performance not just from him but Stoke today. They conceded
:41:34. > :41:38.possession and sat back and invited Bournemouth on to them and hit them
:41:39. > :41:42.on the break. Not a great day for Bournemouth but interested to know
:41:43. > :41:46.your opinions, not many in dish managers in the Premier League but
:41:47. > :41:50.good to see Eddie Howe's progress with Bournemouth? Absolutely, he has
:41:51. > :41:54.done a fantastic job and he is getting the recognition for it which
:41:55. > :41:58.is fully deserved. I like the way he analyses the matches and how he
:41:59. > :42:06.conducts himself. He is a positive in the league and so are his team.
:42:07. > :42:10.Even though they do not have the big-money signings like some of the
:42:11. > :42:14.other clubs, they have put a good team together and they play good
:42:15. > :42:19.football. It is five league defeats in a row and 16 goals conceded for
:42:20. > :42:21.Norwich City. Today they welcomed West Ham to Carrow Road after a
:42:22. > :42:33.midweek FA Cup success. Norwich return to the experience of
:42:34. > :42:36.John Ruddy, coming in for his first Premier League appearance since
:42:37. > :42:42.November. Cameron Jerome starts up front with Norwich desperate for at
:42:43. > :42:45.least a point. Ogbonna scored a dramatic winner against Liverpool in
:42:46. > :42:51.midweek, he replaces Winston Reid who is injured. Sam Byram makes is
:42:52. > :42:54.first artful West Ham, Dimitri Payet's new contract gives them a
:42:55. > :42:58.big boost as they chase a Europa League place. Five defeats in a row
:42:59. > :43:02.big boost as they chase a Europa for Norwich City but West
:43:03. > :43:04.big boost as they chase a Europa despite their lofty position
:43:05. > :43:10.big boost as they chase a Europa won only four of their last 15 in
:43:11. > :43:15.2-2 when they met at Upton Park earlier in the campaign. Norwich
:43:16. > :43:17.were on course for all three points, leading
:43:18. > :43:22.were on course for all three points, but West Ham equalised in the 93rd
:43:23. > :43:25.minute. Naismith looking to play the early ball and the shot came in from
:43:26. > :43:28.Martin. Norwich a aggressive early ball and the shot came in from
:43:29. > :43:34.from the kick-off. Naismith could not find a way through and Russell
:43:35. > :43:51.Martin was only just over with his long-range effort.
:43:52. > :43:58.Valencia goes a goal and it tipped over by John Ruddy and that
:43:59. > :44:01.was heading in. Just as it looked as Enner Valencia was considering his
:44:02. > :44:07.options, he fires it across the penalty area and John Ruddy with the
:44:08. > :44:09.smart save. Slaven Bilic's side have lost only two of their last 12 in
:44:10. > :44:12.the Premier League. lost only two of their last 12 in
:44:13. > :44:21.by O Bien and that lost only two of their last 12 in
:44:22. > :44:25.card for Pedro Obiang. Norwich have had a number of set pieces in the
:44:26. > :44:29.final third of the pitch but they are yet to make anything of them.
:44:30. > :44:41.final third of the pitch but they is a Norwich corner. Taken quickly.
:44:42. > :44:44.Might drop for Howson. West Ham caught napping here and Howson
:44:45. > :44:53.almost made them pay. West Ham caught napping here and Howson
:44:54. > :44:55.their 25 Premier League matches this season, one of those was last
:44:56. > :44:59.weekend in the defeat season, one of those was last
:45:00. > :45:03.Southampton. Jerome tried to curl it away from Adrian. Norwich had a good
:45:04. > :45:06.chance in the opening minutes of the match through Russell Martin and
:45:07. > :45:14.West Ham under plenty of pressure of the second half as well.
:45:15. > :45:25.West Ham under plenty of pressure but so far no way through for
:45:26. > :45:36.Norwich. Noble. Antonio loses out. It's Brady! What a goal. Superbly
:45:37. > :45:41.placed by Brady. Antonio the guilty party. Brady takes it away from him.
:45:42. > :45:45.How about that for a finish? The Republic of Ireland international
:45:46. > :45:51.gets his second of the season and both have come against West Ham
:45:52. > :45:55.United. It's a super finish. Norwich are in front with a huge goal in the
:45:56. > :46:11.context of their relegation struggle. Here's Howson. Naismith.
:46:12. > :46:16.Brady. Lovely touch from Redmond to find Hoolahan, on to Naismith. Can
:46:17. > :46:24.he get the shot away? It might fall to Hoolahan. 2-0, Norwich. Brilliant
:46:25. > :46:26.touch from Redmond. Naismith unable to get the ball out from under his
:46:27. > :46:31.feet. As the ball to get the ball out from under his
:46:32. > :46:36.Wesley Hoolahan is on the end of it. His fourth goal of the season and
:46:37. > :46:48.all four of them have come here at Carrow Road. Norwich 2, West Ham 0.
:46:49. > :46:56.Noble, into the path of Antonio. Can he finish it? Ruddy with the save.
:46:57. > :47:01.Antonio can't get to the rebound. Norwich will get it away. That's
:47:02. > :47:05.what John Ruddy was brought back into the Norwich team to do, to give
:47:06. > :47:12.them a presence. To give them confidence at the back. Ruddy equal
:47:13. > :47:16.to the task. Norwich don't have a fixture next weekend because of the
:47:17. > :47:21.FA Cup. They would love to go into the little break on the back of a
:47:22. > :47:27.win here today. Now away goes Moses for West Ham. Victor Moses bearing
:47:28. > :47:39.down on goal. Moses down in the penalty area. He's recovered. Ruddy
:47:40. > :47:44.with the save. Surely in? Payet has given them hope. Norwich might ask a
:47:45. > :47:48.few questions here as to how exactly Victor Moses was allowed to break
:47:49. > :47:57.free here, at pace. Great recovery from the West Ham substitute. Good
:47:58. > :48:03.save from Ruddy he only succeeded in pushing it into the path of Payet.
:48:04. > :48:10.West Ham have a life line. Norwich 2, West Ham 1. The first half wasn't
:48:11. > :48:16.particularly memorable here at Carrow Road. The second-half has
:48:17. > :48:26.certainly provided much better flare. Carroll. Payet. So much room
:48:27. > :48:31.for him. This is Noble, 2-2. That was all so easy for West Ham.
:48:32. > :48:37.Norwich's defending was non-existent. From 2-0 up, West Ham
:48:38. > :48:43.have pegged it back to 2-2. So much space for Payet. He sets it up
:48:44. > :48:55.wonderfully for Noble. Again, look how much room Marc Noble has? An
:48:56. > :49:00.ex-several la are finish. West Ham are back in it. Late goals have been
:49:01. > :49:08.a fixture of Premier League matches between those two. Additional time.
:49:09. > :49:16.The flick beyond from Carroll. He couldn't finish it off. Ruddy very
:49:17. > :49:22.grateful to grab that loose ball. Brady, trying to get in behind. It
:49:23. > :49:28.will be picked up here by Emenike. Emenike, surely the last chance of
:49:29. > :49:35.the afternoon. Last few seconds. Dorrans. Terrific ball through. Can
:49:36. > :49:41.Norwich finish? Is Adrian with the save. This is O'Neil. Picked up by
:49:42. > :49:48.Redmond. Just wide! It's a corner kick. So much pressure from Norwich.
:49:49. > :49:53.Is there time to take the corner? Driven in. Carroll couldn't get
:49:54. > :50:00.there. A little touch from Bassong. The referee brings play to a close.
:50:01. > :50:06.Norwich 2-0 up will see this as two points thrown away. West Ham coming
:50:07. > :50:11.back to snatch a point. Norwich 2, West Ham 2. I think it was a better
:50:12. > :50:15.performance from us than what we had recently. I think we played on the
:50:16. > :50:20.front foot a lot more than what we did. Attacking the game 9 way we did
:50:21. > :50:25.earlier in the season. It was pleasing, when you are 2-0 up,
:50:26. > :50:32.certainly at home, the way the game was going as well we should have

:51:04. > :51:11.after that you showed the quality and the spirit and after 2-2 you are
:51:12. > :51:14.aiming for a win. That gives you self-confidence and satisfaction

:52:15. > :52:17.He is there. He had a fantastic season defensively for Norwich. They

:57:31. > :57:36.Back from Wickham, Adebayor! Crystal Palace level, right on the stroke of
:57:37. > :57:39.half-time. Emmanuel Adebayor marks his full home debut for Crystal
:57:40. > :57:45.Palace with his first goal for the club. He was alive to the situation.
:57:46. > :57:48.He's hardly been involved in the first half, that's no fault of his
:57:49. > :57:50.own. Look at that for a header? He's made it Crystal Palace 1, Watford 1.
:57:51. > :58:12.1. Mutch, again. Good try. Gomes equal
:58:13. > :58:20.to it. Always an invitation to shoot. It was always a save you felt
:58:21. > :58:41.Gomes should, and indeed, make. Foul, much to their frustration. In
:58:42. > :58:51.from Watson. Can Souare keep it in? I don't think he did. It's a Watford
:58:52. > :59:01.corner. In from Watson. Ake, well defended by Ward. Watford throw.
:59:02. > :59:08.In from Watson. It's come to Troy Deeney, who gets his and Watford's
:59:09. > :59:13.second. He restores their lead with eight minutes to go. That was a
:59:14. > :59:21.smart finish from the Watford skipper. It was Watson's cross that
:59:22. > :59:26.caused the confusion. Confusion. Deeney was totally unmarked, brought
:59:27. > :59:36.it under control. He finished it in a clinical fashion. Crystal Palace
:59:37. > :59:42.1, Watford 2. There goes Nyom, a good run from the right-back.
:59:43. > :59:48.Jedinak did just enough in the end. Now, he's out of position Asda ha
:59:49. > :59:52.travels this. Behrami filling in. He has to get there, he hasn't, he did
:59:53. > :59:58.in the end. A corner, all because of the charging run of Nyom. Behrami
:59:59. > :00:04.was the make-shift right-back, who just did enough in the end. Every
:00:05. > :00:09.player inside the penalty area. Headed aid way by Deeney. Back in
:00:10. > :00:14.from Cabaye against the post. Here's Zaha. That was the moment you feel
:00:15. > :00:18.for Palace to get something out of the game. Lovely hit from Cabaye.
:00:19. > :00:21.Just one win in their the game. Lovely hit from Cabaye.
:00:22. > :00:39.games. They've lost five in that period. Here's Ighalo.
:00:40. > :00:49.He got there and it is a red card as well, to compound the day. He is
:00:50. > :00:55.sent off. Palace finish with ten. He was always struggling for this. The
:00:56. > :01:02.ball had gone, two feet off the ground, reckless, dangerous, red
:01:03. > :01:05.card. It goes wide to Lee, last chance for Crystal Palace. Scott
:01:06. > :01:19.Dann beaten to it. Good cross, there is the header.
:01:20. > :01:21.That was the chance for Crystal Palace to get something from the
:01:22. > :01:34.game and Joel Ward could not take it. The penalty? It is, we have had
:01:35. > :01:36.Scott Dann dragged to the ground on regular occasions and not had it. It
:01:37. > :01:41.is galling in the form we are in to regular occasions and not had it. It
:01:42. > :01:44.get a goal like that. I am not going to say it was not a holding
:01:45. > :01:50.situation but to have it on the first corner of the first played
:01:51. > :01:56.down our end was tough. Won it is or was important for the players to
:01:57. > :02:03.win. If you train well, you want to be able to win and get confident
:02:04. > :02:07.during the week. We dominated the first half and after they got the
:02:08. > :02:11.goal at the end, we knew the reaction was coming. We try to
:02:12. > :02:16.manage that for ten or 15 minutes, maybe a bit too much but we got the
:02:17. > :02:23.job done in the end and that is what matters. We need to relax a bit and
:02:24. > :02:30.play. We did not play at all first half, it is a 90 minute game and we
:02:31. > :02:34.wasted 45 minutes. Palace on a bad run, an important win for Watford.
:02:35. > :02:39.Troy Deeney getting a couple of goals. What do you think? I think it
:02:40. > :02:45.is a penalty but you do not often see them given. Jeddah Nack does
:02:46. > :02:51.commit a foul. That is one way of stopping it, giving a penalty
:02:52. > :02:58.straightaway. He is holding, he cannot complain about that. But you
:02:59. > :03:05.want consistency? It is, he gives defenders a tough time, Troy Deeney.
:03:06. > :03:09.Too easy here, Wilfried Zaha, Campbell, one of them has to close
:03:10. > :03:13.the ball down. Still no one has closed him down. Takes another
:03:14. > :03:19.touch, whips it in, three defenders go for the ball, but Troy Deeney,
:03:20. > :03:24.the touch on the right thigh and the volley and he puts his foot through
:03:25. > :03:35.it. A brilliant finish. A good win for Watford, I like Troy Deeney.
:03:36. > :03:39.What about the red card? It was a wretched ball he received from the
:03:40. > :03:44.goalkeeper really. There is no excuse for leaving the ground as he
:03:45. > :03:50.does. I do not think it was vicious intent but it was a very bad tackle.
:03:51. > :03:53.It is a bad angle, both feet off the ground, very dangerous and a
:03:54. > :04:05.horrible challenge, a correct red card. Absolutely. Everton have found
:04:06. > :04:10.some good form in recent weeks, winning their last three games 3-0,
:04:11. > :04:13.in contrast to West Brom. Tony Pulis described last week 's defeat
:04:14. > :04:15.against Newcastle as their worst performance on the road in his time
:04:16. > :05:32.at the club. Kept in by James McClean, who
:05:33. > :05:37.done well to win the corner. West Brom to venture into the penalty
:05:38. > :05:44.area for the first time in the match in the 14th minute. Sessegnon's
:05:45. > :05:53.delivery and it is in at the far post. Jonas Olsson with the header.
:05:54. > :05:58.And West Bromwich Albion have an unlikely lead here. Sessegnon's
:05:59. > :06:01.delivery is met by Jonas Olsson and as the ball is crossing the line,
:06:02. > :06:12.Salomon Rondon makes sure. Jonas as the ball is crossing the line,
:06:13. > :06:14.watch Salomon Rondon. As it crosses the line, he gets his chest on the
:06:15. > :06:19.ball. Only once in the last the line, he gets his chest on the
:06:20. > :06:23.league ends have West Brom scored a goal in the opening quarter of an
:06:24. > :06:30.hour. They have just about squeezed it in today. Good movement by
:06:31. > :06:37.Everton and they will need it to to get through the West Brom defence.
:06:38. > :06:48.Ross Barkley. The deflection sends it wide of the post. As Everton look
:06:49. > :06:57.to force their way back into the game here. West Brom very nearly
:06:58. > :07:01.conceding an equalising goal there. Three goals in his first season in
:07:02. > :07:20.the Premier League so far, brilliant jump
:07:21. > :07:27.Ross Barkley's delivery into Lennon, he
:07:28. > :07:33.Ross Barkley's delivery into Lennon, just able to tip it over the
:07:34. > :07:37.crossbar. West Bromwich Albion are very much against the ropes here
:07:38. > :07:38.crossbar. West Bromwich Albion are highest scorers in the Premier
:07:39. > :07:47.League so far this season. Cannot find a way through until now.
:07:48. > :07:51.Claudio Yacob tries to challenge him, Chester does not get it away
:07:52. > :07:58.and it is of the post from Ross Barkley. Everton so close to an
:07:59. > :08:05.equaliser. Superb effort by Ross Barkley. Everton continuing to
:08:06. > :08:16.dominate but it is West Brom in Albion who lead. Good running by
:08:17. > :08:20.James McCarthy. VA dough was well forward again.
:08:21. > :08:39.Foster. He was clearly stretched and suddenly the ball ricochets a way of
:08:40. > :08:45.the same post again. Good play by Aaron Lennon. The header back in.
:08:46. > :08:54.West Bromwich Albion survive, just about. Chester was a little slow in
:08:55. > :08:57.getting rid of the ball there. Deep into added time at the end of the
:08:58. > :09:07.first half, the cross from Lennon and the header from Barry and West
:09:08. > :09:15.Brom at Albion survive. Still trying to get through as Kone, Lukaku,
:09:16. > :09:19.Gareth Barry with the shot. Kone sliding the ball into the penalty
:09:20. > :09:27.area and Gareth Barry, who has not scored in just over two years will
:09:28. > :09:34.have to wait a bit longer. Kone dispossessed. Through by Yacob and
:09:35. > :09:40.Salomon Rondon again on his own. Support in the middle provided by
:09:41. > :09:45.Brunt who will get the ahead of Coleman. It was nearly 2-0. Chris
:09:46. > :09:49.Brunt with his first major contribution to the game since
:09:50. > :10:00.coming off the bench. West Bromwich Albion on the counter. Lennon is
:10:01. > :10:04.going off and there is booing from all corners of the stadium from the
:10:05. > :10:09.home crowd, they are not happy that he is being taken. But Della Faiumu
:10:10. > :10:21.coming on. The decision did not go down well with the locals. Gareth
:10:22. > :10:29.Barry. Lovely build-up, good ball in. His first ball in was a little
:10:30. > :10:37.long. Goes back to Gareth Barry and it might just not be Everton's day.
:10:38. > :10:42.If you look at the stats, it would be difficult to explain that we did
:10:43. > :10:47.not reflect the dominance in the scoreline. When you are on the pitch
:10:48. > :10:50.as a team, you need to perform well and create chances and that is what
:10:51. > :10:56.we did today. We were punished heavily on one corner. We could not
:10:57. > :11:00.stop that ball going in and that is the story of the game. I thought we
:11:01. > :11:06.defended well. Throwing our bodies in the way and a bit more quality on
:11:07. > :11:12.the ball going forward and we would have created a few more chances.
:11:13. > :11:16.They are a good team. I think in the second half we were comfortable with
:11:17. > :11:20.our ship, some close ones but I thought we were pretty much in
:11:21. > :11:25.control in the second half I think. A massive win for us. Crystal
:11:26. > :11:30.Palace, Leicester, Manchester United, Arsenal, a tough run does
:11:31. > :11:35.that make today more vital? If I knew what the results would be, I
:11:36. > :11:38.would be sat on the beach as a multimillionaire, you can never
:11:39. > :11:42.predict what the results are going to be. We played Peter Brook on
:11:43. > :11:51.Wednesday and it went for an hour and 20 minutes and then penalties
:11:52. > :11:56.and then we had to bring them here. It was an extraordinary game in many
:11:57. > :12:00.ways. We have some blocks here. That is basically the heat map for West
:12:01. > :12:05.Brom, most of it in their own box, they were that deep. An
:12:06. > :12:15.extraordinary game. Backs to the wall. They get men behind the ball,
:12:16. > :12:18.Jonas Olsson. On Wednesday night he was limping around, he must've been
:12:19. > :12:25.doubtful today but another brilliant performance. Tony Pulis mentioned
:12:26. > :12:31.it, blocking. It was constant, people kept shouting to us, they go
:12:32. > :12:37.Everton again in the box but 34 shots on goal for Everton. West Brom
:12:38. > :12:41.had one effort on target. When you work as hard as they do, West Brom,
:12:42. > :12:48.and you get men behind the ball and they are willing to put in 100%, you
:12:49. > :12:52.can get a performance like this. Three players jumping in front of
:12:53. > :12:57.the ball, you make your own luck in games like that. Ross Barkley was
:12:58. > :13:05.prevalent in that game again, you must be delighted with his progress,
:13:06. > :13:11.not just that but Dele Alli, you must be thrilled with the young
:13:12. > :13:15.players, Eric Dier. We talked a lot about Ross and what he needs to add
:13:16. > :13:20.to his game. One of the things we talk about, Roberto and I, is if he
:13:21. > :13:25.can add goals to his game because he has so much ability and he is doing
:13:26. > :13:29.that now. He is scoring goals and going forward and making good
:13:30. > :13:33.decisions, when to pass and when to hold onto it. Do you see Ross
:13:34. > :13:38.Barkley and Dele Alli fighting for the same spot? It depends what
:13:39. > :13:43.system we will play, we have several formations. There is no reason why
:13:44. > :13:47.the two of them cannot play in the same team together because they are
:13:48. > :13:50.all around players. In the last them against France, we played Ross
:13:51. > :13:56.Barkley as one of the three central midfield players and that is
:13:57. > :14:01.important. Do you know -- do you want to go with the young, dynamic
:14:02. > :14:07.group? We want the team that will win. I hope we go to France with a
:14:08. > :14:14.strong squad and I think we have to use that squad and not just rely on
:14:15. > :14:17.an 11 that we pick for maybe the first game, we will have this what
:14:18. > :14:18.things around and these young players will give us a few
:14:19. > :14:24.headaches. Swansea City have failed to score
:14:25. > :14:27.in all three Premier League meetings with Southampton at the Liberty
:14:28. > :14:29.Stadium and for that to change, they would have to beat
:14:30. > :14:43.the divison's form defence Faith it back it gives everybody a
:14:44. > :14:47.boost. Five games, five clean sheets. A magnificent save. He's a
:14:48. > :14:52.very good goalkeeper. COMMENTATOR: Big save from the big
:14:53. > :15:00.man in Southampton's goal. Forster with the instinctive save. They just
:15:01. > :15:08.can't beat him. Your commentator Alastair Mann. The most likely man
:15:09. > :15:15.to bring forster's run to end is Sigurdsson. Swansea have beaten up a
:15:16. > :15:20.four game unbeaten run. The only disappointment is having len in the
:15:21. > :15:28.wall they have only one-two of them. Southampton make four alterations.
:15:29. > :15:34.Davis's return to fitness is timely with Wanyama starting his ban.
:15:35. > :15:41.It's now eight-hours of Premier League football since Southampton
:15:42. > :15:52.conceded a goal. Routledge. Rangel. League football since Southampton
:15:53. > :15:55.A little touch from Paloschi. Sigurdsson. Well, that was the best
:15:56. > :16:01.chance of the match. Match. Sigurdsson. Well, that was the best
:16:02. > :16:06.easy one, yes, but it was well-worked, but Sigurdsson thumped
:16:07. > :16:11.it much further over the bar than the work had gone before it

:19:08. > :19:12.trying to get round the outside. was all good until his
:19:13. > :19:19.decision-making right at the end. The likes of Ayew and Gomis were
:19:20. > :19:23.waiting. He just got carried away. The next two fixtures away at Spurs
:19:24. > :19:28.and Arsenal are coming even more sharply into focus. They are by no
:19:29. > :19:34.means clear of the drop-zone Swansea despite a decent run of late. Gomis
:19:35. > :19:41.gives chase. Gets there. Paloschi goes down. The referee says play on.
:19:42. > :19:43.Gomis tried to. Swansea supporters and Paloschi, in particular,
:19:44. > :19:52.absolutely certain that was a penalty. I don't think Jonathan Moss
:19:53. > :19:57.could have been much more dismissive. Southampton looking to
:19:58. > :20:03.put this game to bed. Fabianski ensures that they don't. Because
:20:04. > :20:06.there was no way back from two down. Therein are still some boos because
:20:07. > :20:13.the Swansea supporters believe they should have had a penalty. Yoshida
:20:14. > :20:19.on the back of Paloschi. Well, it's a collision. He gets none of the
:20:20. > :20:22.ball. When you went up I knew you were going to win. It must be a
:20:23. > :20:27.great feeling to have the feeling of being invisible? Yeah. You never
:20:28. > :20:31.know it's football. Maybe the referee will whistle or a penalty on
:20:32. > :20:33.the end maybe. It's yes or no a penalty, I don't know. But, of
:20:34. > :20:39.course you need a little bit of luck. For sure, we are totally
:20:40. > :20:46.confident in our defending and of course if we have the result up for
:20:47. > :20:58.us, then we are looking comfortable. We showed that until the end of the
:20:59. > :21:02.game. We had a few situations but we deserve only one point today. Did
:21:03. > :21:09.you have a penalty opportunity at the end, Paloschi? I don't like
:21:10. > :21:12.speak about the referee decision because it's a difficult job. It's a
:21:13. > :21:16.great feeling to be the winning goalscorer. You were today, how does
:21:17. > :21:20.it feel? It's obviously a nice feeling, you know. When you are a
:21:21. > :21:25.striker there a greedy aspect of the game. The team played well. At the
:21:26. > :21:29.back we are keeping clean sheets. It gives us confidence when the chance
:21:30. > :21:33.comes our way it's possibly going to be the winner. Interesting he is
:21:34. > :21:38.talking about forster his goalkeeper. Five wins in six for
:21:39. > :21:46.Southampton. Hasn't conceded a goal. Must be good to have back up against
:21:47. > :21:50.Joe Hart? Really good we were disappointed he had the serious
:21:51. > :21:57.injury. Having him and Jack are as strong as England have been for a
:21:58. > :22:01.long time on the goalkeeper front. Hope they stay fit and there when
:22:02. > :22:08.the Euros came around. You called him on a number of occasions is that
:22:09. > :22:13.true? I keep in touch with the players in those situations. He is a
:22:14. > :22:15.good character. He is lucky our goalkeeper coach is work at
:22:16. > :22:20.Southampton. He is getting good work. Joe is playing well, Jack is
:22:21. > :22:26.playing well, A year ago incredible. You said you like the way everyone
:22:27. > :22:32.is coming through, goalkeepers, behind Joe Hart there wasn't much,
:22:33. > :22:35.now there is. Jack wasn't playing, Ben was injured. They are all back
:22:36. > :22:40.again. Excellent. Roy, thank you very much for coming in. My
:22:41. > :22:44.pleasure. No, thank. We are out of time. If we look at the Premier
:22:45. > :22:49.League table. The top four aren't in action until Sunday. Manchester
:22:50. > :22:54.United failed to capitalise and remain six points adrift in fifth.
:22:55. > :22:57.Southampton their fifth win in six games are above West Ham on goal
:22:58. > :23:01.difference. Newcastle have replaced Norwich in the relegation zone an
:23:02. > :23:05.their hammering by Chelsea they dropped into the bottom three on
:23:06. > :23:08.goal difference. Sunderland's crucial victory has taken them
:23:09. > :23:13.within a point of safety. The papers. The Mail on Sunday sayings
:23:14. > :23:16.Louis van Gaal is doomed at Manchester United with their hopes
:23:17. > :23:22.of finishing in the top four all but gone. The Sunday Times lead with
:23:23. > :23:26.United they could miss out on Mourinho as their next manager. The
:23:27. > :23:31.Sun on Sunday says Leicester will be rewarded with a trip to Las Vegas in
:23:32. > :23:36.a ?1 million bonus if they win the title. Oh, can I come?
:23:37. > :23:38.So Big Sam wins at home against Manchester United
:23:39. > :23:41.This bonkers season continues to surprise us.
:23:42. > :23:46.The way it's going, England will go and win the Euros.
