COMMENTATOR: Goals came and went. And, Keegan.

Look at his face! Just look at his face!

Look at that. Oh, look at that!

Oh, and he's done it! Oh, what a goal.

the Barclays Premier League resumed Alan Shearer and Martin Keown join

us in the studio for what's been We start at the Etihad where

Raheem Sterling faced Liverpool for the first time since his ?49

million move to Manchester City, who started the day top of the table

on goal difference from Arsenal. COMMENTATOR: Two clubs that conjure

up flavours of the past, present and future history. Two number sevens

facing their previous teams for the first time. Almost all the

ingredients are here for us to be served up something special. Almost

all because Vincent Kompany is out for City. And Silva isn't fit to

return. Sergio Aguero is. His inclusion one of four changes from

the 0-0 draw at Aston Villa a fortnight ago. Also return to start,

is Navas. Milner returns as captain and returns to the Reds team after a

hamstring problem. Lovren at the back and Coutinho in for Benteke.

It's the same team that won 3-1 at Chelsea three weeks back.

It's the same team that won 3-1 at chilly Etihad Stadium tonight, as

I'm sure it has been at every game right around the country. Proper

football weather is back. Expect a brisk pace to the game. He loses owe

cresses. -- possessions. Turned into his own net by the unfortunate

Mangala. Liverpool lead seven-minutes in at the Etihad. The

slip led to a Mangala own gall. -- goal. He lost his footing. Good work

by Coutinho. Didn't look like it would be the best pull back by

Flamini. Didn't look. Played it into the right zone. He gets an assist

for it. Mangala was in the wrong place. His feet were all over the

place. Manchester City 0, Liverpool 1. Manuel Pellegrini to his feet

early. A few noises of disgruntlement from home supporters.

Not the start they came to see. He wins the race ahead of Kolarov. In

towards Coutinho. 2-0 Liverpool, on the counter. Beautifully worked,

fantastically finished. What a day this is for the red side from

Merseyside. Manchester City not at it, Liverpool bang on it. Again,

question marks about the City defending. The central defenders

just not with each other at all. They got in a muddle. Firmino got to

the ball before Kolarov. It's close to Hart. He maybe didn't want to put

it exactly there. It was a prow enough connection. Liverpool in a

strong place. City 0, Liverpool 2. Toure, finding Firmino. Sterling.

Skrtel on the slide. Aguero claims he blocked it with his hand. Skrtel

with his arm on the deck. It doesn't hit his arm at any point. Toure to

Sterling. Out to Kolarov. Away by Skrtel. Firmino, Liverpool running

away with Milner. Here's Coutinho. Moreno there as well. The shot

cleared by Hart. Coutinho. Returned. Coutinho. Firmino. 3-0, Liverpool.

Coutinho and Firmino link up again. Of the the Brazilian double act is

doing the business for Liverpool. Running away with things at the

Etihad Stadium. That's a great backheel. He played his part. Not

offside. Nothing wrong with that. Nothing wrong at all with the way

Liverpool are playing today. This has got to be the finest 33 minutes

under Jurgen Klopp so far. They are destroying the team that started the

day on top of the Barclays Premier League. Manchester City 0, Liverpool

3. One little portion of the Etihad Stadium is Dee leerious. --

deleriou. It's in his central defensive position that the weakness

in City's game so far today is apparent. Liverpool could be through

again here. Joe Hart with a sprawling stop. A vital one. That's

going to be just a goal kick. Once again, Manchester City in a real

mess defensively. On side, again, Roberto Firmino. Joe Hart prevents

it becoming 4-0. It's embarrassing for Manchester City approaching

half-time. It could well and truly be all over. Here come Liverpool

once more. It's Lallana. Coutinho. Brilliant touches of the ball.

Firmino. So, so close to four. The same two again. Roberto Firmino, who

hadn't scored a goal until just a few minutes ago for Liverpool, is

Here's Aguero. Sterling and De they

Here's Aguero. Sterling and De Bruyne with him. Aguero goes for

goal and find the goal. Maybe finds a way back for Manchester City. They

have a mountain to climb they are in the game again before half-time. On

the day where nothing has gone right for them so far. It had to be this

little man who give them a glimmer of hope. What a finish that is. He

did have options. Help didn't even consider them. That's why. Sergio

Aguero is back. Maybe Manchester City have the chance of a way back.

Coutinho. Lallana let it go. Firmino. His effort is blocked by

Hart. What a crucial touch that is. Joe Hart may have been beaten three

times. Since City went three goals behind he has made two huge saves.

One before Aguero, who threatened to get them back into the game, and

another one now. Klopp looks almost insulted when his side don't score.

another one now. Klopp looks almost Sterling will be on to that. Back to

Aguero. Lovely dummy from Aguero. Great save by Mignolet. Manchester

City were gifted a way back then. They couldn't take the present.

Sterling decided the angle wasn't right for him. Lovely bit of play

from Aguero. Mignolet back to save. With every minute that passes by,

Liverpool are closer to a famous win. An excellent win. De Bruyne

can't stop him. He has played it through to Benteke. Mangala can't

stop him. Joe Hart can, big hand. Hesitant here. He was onside. He

couldn't get the big Hesitant here. He was onside. He

quickly enough. Benteke's never scored against Manchester City, not

yet anyway. Lallana, with the corner. Skrtel's jump. Oh, Skrtel's

fired in an absolute beauty. You don't stop those. Benteke caused the

problem. Skrtel was jumping behind him. As everybody tried to track

where the ball was going to land, Skrtel knew exactly where it was.

Knew what he was going to do with it, too. He loves playing against

Manchester City. It's the fourth time that he's scored against them

for Liverpool. That fourth goal time that he's scored against them

points. Manchester City 1, Liverpool 4.

high, they were patient when City had the ball to press it in the

final third as well this is after two minutes in the game. This is how

they were going to play. Lallana closing down. Giving them no time on

the ball whatsoever. What they are saying to Joe Hart is, we have every

player marked. What you have to do is kick it long, up to Aguero, we

will win it back. No problem. Look at the workrate from Coutinho. Ball

goes into Sagna. Not prepared to let him get that ball and run up the

line. Works his socks off to get it back. Brilliant pass in. They get

luck. Shocking defending. They deserved it. I said defending in

their final third. It's virtually impossible to high press for 90

minutes. We will take a breather. When one goes, that sets the trigger

off. Coutinho doing his workrate back. I mentioned the trigger.

Coutinho goes. Moreno goes. It's like clockwork. They do it superbly

as a team. Lucas let's De Bruyne run it out there. This was the theme of

the first half. I said the workrate and effort. Look at how they are

closing them down. They are not giving City the space. Four, five

players around them. That was the constant theme in the first half.

Brilliant performance and result. Great to watch. High praise on

Liverpool. Pellegrini was upset with the performance. Can't understand

it, he said. Defensively they were shambolic. There is a casualness

about them. If they want to be champions they have to turn up

earlier in the games. As good as Liverpool were, Manchester City let

themself down. They changed their central defenders. They brought in

the two lads at the back. Kompany was left out. Sagna losing the ball

there. I can't believe how he loses it easily. Mangala. Go with the

runner. He is lazy. He should with him. He doesn't sort his feet out.

Comical defending. Again, the two central defenders here. Not sure

where he is heading the ball there. Puts him into trouble. Sagna, he has

to win this race. Look how much Coutinho wants to get there. The

ball will be played into that area. Get goal-side and deal with it. It's

a tap in. Like a practice game in the early stages. Demichelis, this

time, sloppy. The team have to come back and defend. They are not doing

their job properly. I couldn't believe it. The way they run through

the midfield. Mangala, again. Ball watching. Again another tap in. It

was embarrassing for Manchester City today. Liverpool, Klopp is changing

things. Can you see a difference Massively. The way he is getting

these players, back from international on Thursday. Worked

with the team quickly. His message is is going across to the players

thechl looked tasty today. Good stuff.

All eyes were on Jamie Vardy as Leicester faced Newcastle at

The England striker was looking to equal Ruud Van Nistelrooy's record

of scoring in 10 consecutive Premier League matches.

Whether he would play was the big question on Tyneside this and month

both sets of fans, but the hip injury back Jamie Vardy out of the

England side has not Tim out at the Leicester side here. Newcastle

United are unchanged on the back of their 1-0 success at Bournemouth

before the break. Goalkeeper, Rob Elliott, was excellent birthday and

is that to start even after missing out on the international. Claudio

Ranieri has seen his team when away. Here is Jamie Vardy, getting

in ahead for half a second. The defender getting back goal side at

the expense of a corner. The referee is ringing it back because of an

incident. Robert Huth, is ringing it back because of an

arms in pushing Alexandra match of it. It is a massive overreaction

from the Newcastle player, but Robert Huth clearly pushes the

player in the throat. It comes away. Newcastle will get a free kick. It

is Robert Huth again, previously involved in the altercation who now

has his name taken by Mike Jones. The first booking of the game. He is

very lucky to be on the pitch because he wasn't even booked for

the previous incident, for which he could have conceivably been sense

of. -- centre. Strikes it against Perez. Plucked from the air by

Kasper Schmeichel. Quick to get rid of it. It could open up in the last

five minutes of the first half. In towards Jamie Vardy! Rings a save

from Rob Elliott. Jamie Vardy, just onside and Rob Elliot able to keep

him at day and deny Jamie Vardy the Premier League equalling goal.

Available for the return, Jamie Vardy. Away from his man and he has

scored. It is the Premier League record equalling goal. Ten games in

a row and Jamie Vardy's goal-scoring run just keeps on going. It has been

up for first half, but it will end with a highlight. Close call as to

whether he was onside. Jamie Vardy equals the Premier League record set

by Ruud van lists the right set in this stadium of scoring in ten

consecutive Emmy league games. Leicester City league Newcastle

United 1-0 at half-time. Jamie Vardy was too strong for his

opponent. 2-0 would have been a lead Leicester City aurally deserve. The

natives are restless. They don't like what they are seeing.

It is with Jamie Vardy. Newcastle were fortunate, he didn't quite take

it in his stride. Blue shirts piling forward. Newcastle are rocked back

on their heels and it is 2-0. Leicester City have been knocking on

the door. Finally they have found the second goal. Look at the space.

Four goals he has scored in his the second goal. Look at the space.

few appearances will stop Newcastle's corner. Little bit more

few appearances will stop encouraging for the home side. But

desperately in need of a goal. The header, cleared off the line and out

of the hands of Kasper Schmeichel by Danny Drinkwater. Better to be safe

than sorry from Leicester City's point of view. Not such a

threatening corner this time and Marc Albrighton will defeat things

through. Jamie Vardy is going to go all the way, is he? No, Rob Elliott

make sure that he doesn't. goal that would have been. He did

have options, Jamie goal that would have been. He did

form that he is in, he only had eyes for the goal. Look out Prior

Mahrez, the space he was in. Into Danny Simpson, good save by Rob

Elliott! Finally over the line for a third goal

Elliott! Finally over the line for a Danny Albrighton with the ball back

in. An excellent save initially. He has the final touch to put it over

the line. He jumps, cannot get any power on the header, cannot

the line. He jumps, cannot get any the ball. In by Simpson.

the line. He jumps, cannot get any by Rob Elliott and Shinji Okazaki

with the final touch. Newcastle cannot have any complaints about

this scoreline. We are playing well. We take a point after

this scoreline. We are playing well. international break. We start very

well and want to make my congratulations to my players, but

also to the fans who travel for four hours to come here and I am very,

very happy. We were second best in every area and that is

disappointing. That is the main thing that is frustrating. I

understand the fans completely, we feel the same and we will be back on

the training field on Monday and that is the only place to put it

right. You have managed many great players in your career as a manager,

have you ever come across a goal-scoring run like this before?

Yes, Florentine, if I remember he scored 11 goals, no, 11 matches in a

row. I have also Jamie can achieve this.

After the game, I spoke to Leicester's Jamie Vardy.

You have done it, ten consecutive games and you have scored in every

one of them. Equal the record. Describe the emotions you went

through? Bit of relief. Missed a couple just before, but as soon as

it has gone in, little weight of the shoulders. Got to get back on the

training field and hopefully take it one step further. It is an amazing

achievement, four years ago you were playing non-league football and now

you are top scorer in the Premier League, breaking records. It must be

a dream? Yes, a lot of hard work has gone into it and long may it

continue. What do you put your late improvement down to, hard a lot of

help from the coaches? It is a bit of both and the players I have

around me, they are getting me into the positions as well. To keep a

clean sheet, maybe another pizza of the gaffer, who knows? Where do you

want to finish this season? It is a long time since a Leicester player

one golden boot? I have not set any goals, I just wanted to improve on

last year. I have, got over double. My feet are firmly on the ground, I

will take each game as it comes and hopefully I will knock in a few more

goals that will give Leicester the points to keep moving. We wish you

continued success and many congratulations. Thank you.

Astonishing achievement isn't it? Outstanding. The story of Leicester

and some of the performances from them today were outstanding. Morgan,

Daniel Drinkwater and Marc Albrighton but the story is Jamie

Vardy. I am so pleased for him, even though it was against Newcastle. He

missed the England game through injury, but he plays on the

shoulder. If you are going to play at Highline, which at times

Newcastle tried to, he will punish it. Lovely ball in from Mahrez. Rob

Elliott came out and blocked him. I just don't know what the Grigio

Coloccini is doing here. He turns his back. He's not offside. Still a

lot to do when he cuts inside. Forces the shaft inside, near post.

What a brilliant run in behind a member. He runs from the edge of his

own box. He leaves Coloccini behind with ease. He perhaps should pass

but there. But if there is one guy he will not moan at, it is him this

season. He gets a lovely round of applause as well. He is like a

greyhound on the pitch and applause as well. He is like a

greyhound on the pitch and he flies the flag for any player who has

played non-league football. You mentioned the Newcastle fans

applauded Jamie Vardy, they didn't have much to applaud from their own

team? A 5 letter word was trending in Newcastle today about the

performance, I cannot use it here. I will use woeful, embarrassing,

hopeless and inept. A lack of effort, passion and commitment. You

can put in a poor performance, but you cannot accept a lack of effort.

I watched them in the second half and they were walking around, there

was no it to the game. It is not acceptable. You were very grumpy

this afternoon watching that game. Six games still to come,

they're worth the wait. No side's picked up more points on

the road this season than Arsenal. The Gunners were in action at

West Brom who've struggled at home, winning just once in six games

at the Hawthorns. Olivier Giroud and Koscielny have

declared them mentally prepared to start this game. Kieran Gibbs swaps

England duty at left-back for place in midfield. West Brom bringing

Jonas Olsson N. Dawson for West Brom. Arsenal have a

player down. Goes into a challenge with Claudio Yacob and comes out

worse. Injuries have somewhat peppered Arsenal's season again.

Alexis Sanchez. Olivier Giroud is in the middle. Monreal is closing in.

It is a free kick on the edge of the area. Monreal is down. It was a

strong challenge. Mikel Arteta is going to come on. This is Sanchez.

The goalkeeper is equal to it. He has had a good run, Boaz Myhill, in

for the injured when Foster. He reacted very well from Alexis

Sanchez. Arsenal start again, free-kick.

James Morrison making a challenge here on Sanchez.

James Morrison making a challenge in. It's a goal. It's Giroud. The

Frenchman has brought some welcome relief in this week. That is his

ninth goal. He has relief in this week. That is his

games. He is an out and out finisher, no doubt about that. It's

a good finish. I think he just got ahead of his marker there, Giroud.

Well taken free-kick. He's just got in front of Rondon. It's West

Bromwich Albion 0, Arsenal 1. The French connection opens up the game

for The Gunners. Olsson. Rondon. Free-kick. Arteta's

foul. If you tackle from behind you can still get the ball and still be

penalised. Chris Brunt will take the free-kick for West Bromwich Albion.

Olsson is forward. But it's gone beyond him. It's gone in. It's James

Morrison who has equalised for the Albion. Good free-kick. Of that came

from Chris Brunt. Morrison on the end of it. Arsenal didn't pick him

up. It's a good volley actually by Morrison much he kept his eye

up. It's a good volley actually by for West Brom. Mertesacker, well

nobody came out to challenge him. Arsenal keeping possession.

nobody came out to challenge him. how long? Rondon is away here for

West Bromwich Albion. It's gone in. Off an Arsenal defender, I think.

Maybe Arteta. It's 2-1 Albion. Well, that was a real mixup in the Arsenal

defence. Nobody took command in there, as Albion got great joy down

their left hand side this has to go down as an own-goal. It's Arteta who

will have to take the unwanted credit. Albion came from behind to

will have to take the unwanted lead 2-1. Giroud taking up his

position in the centre here. Ozil. Oh, it's come back off the post. So

close to 2-2. Oh, it's come back off the post. So

second-half strongly. Ozil, left-footed, across the goalkeeper,

off the foot of the post. left-footed, across the goalkeeper,

Brom's lead is tenniously held. These are games that Arsenal, if

they are serious about These are games that Arsenal, if

hopes, can't afford to lose. But they are losing this one at

hopes, can't afford to lose. But moment. Campbell! Good chance. Oh,

what an opening for the substitute who has only just come on. Could so

easily have been 2-2. West Brom, who has only just come on. Could so

defender slipped in really opened up here. In fact, the

doesn't make a difference, Campbell going to be a corner to West Brom.

If they were to get a third, then you would think the game was up for

Arsenal. Olsson at the near-post. you would think the game was up for

Has that crossed line? Berahino. Somehow or other Arsenal have - hold

on, the referee is pointing. Mark Somehow or other Arsenal have - hold

Clattenburg, I think he's given offside. There was a

Clattenburg, I think he's given where Albion and their supporters

thought they might have snatched a third. It's Olsson on the near-post,

against the bar, appeals by Albion that it had crossed. Then as the

goalkeeper grabs it a flag goes up for offside. His team have got to

find something in the closing stages. Bellerin comes inside.

Campbell outside him here. Oh, that ball pinpoint - oh, it's a penalty.

It's a penalty given out of nothing, really. It's Chris Brunt, I think,

on Sanchez. That didn't seem to be going anywhere that attack. But Mark

Clattenburg has seen that. It's well off the ball, holding by Chris

Brunt. Arsenal have been given a life line. It's a penalty to

Arsenal. Cazorla. Oh, he's missed it. Would you believe it? Oh, my

goodness. What an opportunity here for the equaliser. That was some way

over the bar from Cazorla. Arsenal may have lost the best chance

they're going to get of saving a point. Maybe we had lapses of

concentration when we were 1-0 we were maybe too sure of ourselves. 35

minutes we were 1-0 up. 45 we are 2-1 down. From a team like ours that

is difficult. We had chances in the second-half. We created a lot. We

pushed them really to the limit and unfortunately we didn't manage to

win the game. First and foremost, I thought we had a good performance

first half. It showed great character coming back from a goal

down, especially against a good team like Arsenal. Showed great

resilience to hold on. Something we have not managed to do a few times

this year when we have been in those positions especially at Good fortune

went home. Our way. We played games at our places where I don't think we

deserved to lose. We have lost games because things haven't fallen our

way. It's never my day until that final whistle. I have been in the

game too long to think anything else. Pleasing to see him miss it. I

know the Arsenal supporters won't look at it that way. Certainly the

Albion supporters and the Albion manager did. Yes, indeed. Gritty

performance from West Brom. Arsene Wenger not happy. You can understand

why, Martin? Missed opportunity to go in front in the game. 10 minutes

which cost Arsenal. Sloppy defending. The free-kick,

Mertesacker could have done more. Olsson is pinning him, Gary. The

ball is going Olsson is pinning him, Gary. The

ball is going into that area Olsson gets goal-side of him. Mertesacker

has to do more to get goalside. Fight and tussle. In the end,

wonderful finish. It could have been avoided. Look. If we ring them here.

Ball comes in. Olsson knows what he is doing. Mertesacker can't get

back. I think he's left with Arteta, who can't get there. The second one

was exactly the same. Koscielny could have got tighter to Rondon.

was exactly the same. Koscielny doesn't. Bellerin doesn't do much

for him either. Run down-the-line. Bellerin is so quick. Watch it from

the reverse angle. He has to get back to that near-post. Koscielny is

the full-back. He becomes the centre-half. Get back quickly. He

doesn't really react. With pace like that he should be making a block.

OK, they are unlucky. Arteta. To be fair, he didn't have the best of

afternoons. Came off after 49 minutes. Could have done better

there. No luck was going with Arsenal today. Fair play to West

Brom, they kept at it. They certainly did. It was summed up by

Cazorla's penalty? It summed their day up. It was - oops. Glaring

opportunity. A double hit. Slips. People questioned whether the

referee pointed to the spot for it to be retaken. No, the referee got

it spot on. It was a free-kick to West Brom because of that double

hit. The referee got it right. West Brom had one shot on target and won

2-1. That is quite something. Sometimes you need a little bit of

good fortune. They deserve it because of the workrate they put in.

Lost their last two games before this. It was a big win for them

today. It certainly was. Manchester United boasted

the league's best defensive record going into their game

against Watford, who themselves had kept four clean sheets

in six games at home this season. Jonathan Pearce was at

Vicarage Road. Schweinsteiger had to stay over

night at the Stade de France with the German squad. Schneiderlin was

in the French side on that fateful night. One of four changes.

Watford have been beaten here this season by Crystal Palace and

Arsenal. A lot of people say their per performance against West Hamel

in their last home game was the best seen on this ground. Praise indeed.

1-0, Manchester United. Herrera's cross. Memphis. United wanted more

goals from him. That is is the repayment for the manager's faith in

restoring him to the line-up. Herrera at the heart of it. Slipped

between his markers. That is why they paid ?25 million for

between his markers. That is why his fifth for Manchester United. His

first since the tail end of September. Working on his fitness

levels. United wanted to see him back and sharp and he was there. The

levels. United wanted to see him big worry for Watford. Can they come

back into it against a Manchester United side who have conceded in

only one of their last six Premier League matches. Herrera. Caught in

possession here. . This is a big chance for Watford. Not the best of

passes to him. Tricky skills. Wasted. Wick can to press there. Two

against one. Wasn't the best of passes. Wasn't the best of first

touches. It certainly wasn't a good finish. A big opportunity. Ashley

Young. Corner kick. Smalling sup for it and Jones. This could be a

crucial moment. To the near-post. It came to the far side. Schneiderlin

was there. He couldn't get the final touch. Schweinsteiger went near.

Jones was at the near-post too. So close for Manchester United. He's

received rave reviews this season. Big games coming up for them. Bonus

to get something from this. Especially in this position now.

Here's Memphis. Blind outside him. Good effort. Gomes went down in

stages. He might have seen it late from behind one of his team-mates.

In the end he made sure it was away from goal. Smalling. Schneiderlin.

Ake's first touch, on as half-time substitute for Jurado.

Ake's first touch, on as half-time Capoue. Memphis. Good interchange.

Lingard. Wasn't the most decisive of finishes. Good build-up though. Fine

goalkeeping. Came finishes. Good build-up though. Fine

for Gomes. Big chance for finishes. Good build-up though. Fine

the start of the second-half. Ake. One reason I think he didn't start,

he played two games for the Dutch under-21s in the international

break. Deeney. Good save. Watford's best move move of the game by far.

Good work by Ake. Set up for Deeney. Strong hands. Watford haven't beaten

Manchester United since Graham Taylor was in charge. Good to see

him here. Can he set up Capoue? Manchester United hesitant. Rescued

by Smalling, and again. Brilliant save! He would have seen it late. It

may have deflected off Smalling's head, too. Watford pressing really

hard. Got down really late having seen it through the thick of legs.

Fine goalkeeping. Ake. Six minutes seen it through the thick of legs.

to go. Looking for Abdi. Ake in a hurry. Deeney. Ighalo. He has been

quiet today. Goes down. And the referee has given a penalty. Watford

have a way back into the game and Manchester United fume.

His left foot came forward. The referee thought about it and was

absolutely bang on. What a rash challenge. This late on, away from

home. 1-0 up, five minutes to go. Troy Deeney. The man who drove them

into the top-flight. Brings them level against Manchester United.

Watford 1, Manchester United 1. The home side have thoroughly deserved

it. Manchester United will not win the Premier League if they let games

like this slip away in this fashion. A really poor challenge to make. He

was punished by Deeney. 1-1. Richly deserved it. Deeney in

particular, denied by the goalkeeper, draws them level. All of

a sudden the urgency is with Manchester United.

Corner kick. Can Manchester United get a last gasp winner and go top,

if only for a short while? Terrific save. Claude out by Gomez. Smalling

has been excellent for Manchester United but that was a top-notch

said. Jesse Lingard. Gomez with the save

and it is in. Manchester United have won it again. And Schweinsteiger,

who knows about winning things with buy in Munich has snatched victory

for Manchester United. They were letting this valuable game slipping

away from them. Gomez, needed hard hands and could

away from them. Gomez, needed hard From that tight angle,

Schweinsteiger rammed it in. It will have to go down as a Troy Deeney own

goal. I always want to win. Until the referee blows the final whistle,

you have to keep going, you have two fight. The whole team did it again

today. Very happy that we got three points, an important three points.

It was difficult points, an important three points.

first half. We had very good chances. That is football. One

performance doesn't define our season. If we had nicked a point, we

would have been happy. The tough games are the next three, so we will

judge our season again after that. You have seen the spirit of my

team. It was amazing. Even after the penalty, we gave another reaction to

the game. In five minutes, we had three possibilities we created. Then

he scored the goal. That is not a coincidence, it is the consequence

of the spirit. They are becoming mightily resilient, Manchester

United. Interestingly, somebody like Memphis comes in, I don't think he

has played a minute in the last four games, but he came in and took his

chance. He had to make a point today with Rooney out, Martial out. He put

him in as a centre forward. He delivered to be fair to

him in as a centre forward. He delivered to be fair to him. It was

a fantastic goal. I hear people saying you have tipped kick someone

out wide when you put a ball in. No you don't, you have to put it into a

danger area. It doesn't matter if you are six foot five, of five or

six, if you are clever and cute enough, you will score goals. He

gambled, Memphis and got the goal he deserved. He played well. At the

other end, they were very tight. 641 minutes try to conceding the penalty

without a goal. That is due to Chris Smalling? Without a doubt, he is the

rock solid player at the back of the defence. He makes necessary tackles

and is the play you can rely on. This is a key tackle. He is up on

his feet. In the end, the goalkeeper saves him because he gets a

deflection on it. Steve Bruce, saves him because he gets a

quality from him. He has got good quality. He has the leadership and

the drive. Without that, I don't quality. He has the leadership and

think they could have got into it. Good goal by Schweinsteiger at the

end. Smalling, with the drive and determination. 27 points, who

knows. The top two late next week. Manchester United, and late winner.

We haven't seen that since Alex Ferguson was in charge. Watford

didn't play particularly well. In the second half, they deserve

something out of the game. But credit to Manchester United, they

weren't fazed by conceding a penalty and went on to get the winner.

Remi Garde opened his account as Aston Villa manager with

a creditable point against the leaders Manchester City.

Next up for bottom of the table Villa was a trip to Everton, who've

Everton against Villa is the most played fixture in English football.

Romelu Lukaku is one short of his 50th Premier League goal. He could

reach that a landmark before turning 23. The others are Robbie Fowler,

Michael Owen. Grealish's return to the side is one of three changes

made by the new boss. Stones. Romelu Lukaku. Opportunities here. Ross

Barkley! 1-0. Nicely worked goal. Villa's plan goes out of the window.

Aston Villa taken apart by some neat Everton football. Guzan withered

decent save, but Ross Barkley couldn't miss and didn't. Only two

players have played in every England game this season and he is one of

them. His season continues to blossom and Everton deservedly lead.

Mistake by Richardson. Great feet from the Spaniard. Kone! Great stop

by Bradley Guzan. Tremendous reactions from Brad Guzan. The

mistake here from Richardson. Great feet and we're not expect being rad

Guzan to keep that out. Aston Villa beat Everton 3-2 last May in a big

victory for them. Since then they have won only two of 15 Premier

League matches. Romelu Lukaku! 2-0. That is his 50th Premier League all.

It is all coming down the right-hand side for Everton. Because Deulofeu

has Richardson on toast every time. Andrew Mullen Lukaku helps himself

to Everton's second and his 50th in Premier League football. It is an

exclusive little club he belongs to now. Players to reach 50 Premier

League goals before they reach 23, Robbie Fowler, Michael Owen, Wayne

Rooney, Cristiano Ronaldo and now Romelu Lukaku. Everton scored six in

their last home game, Sunderland. Back to Romelu Lukaku.

Sheer weight of numbers from pillar to keep Everton out. Kone! Still

Barkley arrived to tidy up. And It was getting messy and tell Ross

dig it out from under Bradley Guzan and Ross Barkley stroked it into the

back of the net. Aston Villa have already conceded three with three

minutes of the first half still to play. Everton are doing a decent job

of replicating some of their former glories. It is unlikely Aston Villa

can improve the result. But the aim will

top-class performance from their team. We played a better game today.

Probably the first 30 minutes were not good enough to resist. We wanted

to grow in this game and not concede an early goal. After that it was too

difficult. The level between the two teams today was the difference. I

was pleased with the workrate and the way we defended. That was the

difference with the game against Sunderland. We were fantastic of the

ball. Really pleased with the overall performance. I took my form

from the International into the game here and I am buzzing with the

result and my two goals. We have Young players who have loads of

ability and talent. The experienced players. Romelu Lukaku, 50 Premier

League goals? It is great to see him growing all the time. I think this

season, he has gone into a different level. He did a lot of of the ball

as well. Sometimes it is nice to be in the history books, especially in

the Premier League. I feel very privileged to play in this league. I

need to keep going, I need to keep improving and the best of my

ability. Another couple of goals, one of many players you could pick

out for Everton who were marvellous? It was almost a competition to see

which one was best. I am going to look at Deulofeu. He gives you

something different, he likes to run with the ball. Everything starts

with stones at the back. This is an unusual angle. Everything is one

touch. Plays it out wide. Deulofeu likes to get the ball in. It is a

shot, cross and Ross Barkley taps it in. Richardson, they destroyed him

all afternoon. Romelu Lukaku and Kone just love it. This is when he

is at his best, when he is running at people. I haven't seen a defender

who can cope with him. Great save from the code the lack passion at

the keeper to deny him. Deulofeu, running with the ball again. The

goal comes from this. Another ball back in. Romelu Lukaku was

magnificent again, but this fella will carry the ball for you. Full of

running and confidence. Maybe he can improve at the end of all of that at

times, but I think the Everton faithful now see him as the strength

in the team. Look how physical he is. There is an arrogance as well.

He wants to play, end product, looking for the past. As bad as

Aston Villa were, Deulofeu, there is a buyout clause by him to go back to

Barcelona, they may lose him. This is the most played Vickure.

That is in danger of being under threat if Villa go down. He has a

big job there on his hands. He really has. No teams survive in the

Premier League with five points or less after 13 games in the season.

That tells you how big it is. What is wrong? Not good enough players?

Not good enough players. Inexperienced players. Fighting at

the wrong end of the table for a few years now. OK.

goalkeeper, Federici. Swansea close to being back on level terms almost

immediately. Barkley. Might drop, Bournemouth survive. Twice in a

minute that Federici makes excellent saves to preserve Bournemouth's

advantage. Barkley. Britton. Loses out he stumbles. King hoping to

punish Swansea again. He is through on his own. Fabianski with the save.

Britton just slipping and Josh King pounced. His pace is causing Swansea

plenty of problems. Plenty of reports over the last few weeks

speculating on the future of Garry Monk as Swansea manager. He has

dismissed those in the programme today. Allowed to run almost

unchecked. It's still Daniels. Sets it up for Arter. Ritchie. Can

Bournemouth find a way through? Yes, they. Can a second goal for the

Cherries. They had to be patient. They have doubled their

Cherries. They had to be patient. Dan Gosling, with

Cherries. They had to be patient. Charlie Daniels with the run

forward. Nobody, but nobody, able to make a challenge. The movement

seemed to have fizzed out here. Ritchie waited. Gosling times his

run to perfection. You can see Gosling there, the number four, on

the edge of the penalty area, passes it into the net. Problems mounting

for Swansea City because it is Swansea 0, Bournemouth 2. Surely

As the ball is played in, is he offside? It would appear not. The

onside. How about this for a finish. Past Federici. Swansea 1,

player. That might just about be that.

I thought the players showed great bravery in coming back and showing

fantastic spirit to really come back and get the two goals. We need to

create a run of results where the confidence comes back with the ball.

There is sharpness from the players. They are good players and capable of

it. That side we need to build. It will only come if we put results

together. We should be sat here with three points. We were the dominant

team for huge parts of the game. The last 10 minutes Swansea put pressure

on our backline. Disappointed we haven't won the game. Positives to

come from it. Question marks over Swansea's goal? The second we don't

feel it was a penalty. The referee has fallen for it. Whether it is

intentional from the defend, I don't know. The player would answer that.

It's a slip. He lost his footing because of the clip He has run

across me. Clipped my leg rather than him clipping his and he's gone

down. Not a lot I can do about it. Not best pleased about that penalty

decision. Ayew turned it round? Free transfer. Six league goals this

season. When you are 2-0 down the manager is looking on think - come

on who will produce a piece of magic to get us back into this game? Ayew

did exactly that. I mean, the cheek of it really. A brilliant finish. A

piece of brilliance. Clever. Gets himself into a good position. It

falls to him nicely. That's just brilliant. A brilliant run in

behind. Runs in behind Francis. Checks his stride Francis in getting

out of the way. He clips his leg there. Another step on. He clips

himself up. I do think that is a penalty. I would say that because

I'm a forward. I think he's unlucky. Do you think it's a penalty? Very

harsh from the referee. Forward and defender's point of view there,

Gary. Of course. As for Bournemouth. He doesn't want to change the style

of his football. Can they survive continuing playing that way No win

in seven. Conceded 27 goals. More than any other team in the Premier

League. I feel, if they look at the other teams, they can grow on that.

He may have to change his philosophy a little bit. OK.

to the dug-out, Jose Mourinho makes three changes in his attempts to

restore normality to Chelsea's season. A full Premier League debut

for Kenedy. Norwich haven't won here for 23 years. They include the

return of top-scorer Nathan Redmond after a thigh injury. Matic. Good

play from the Serbian. Hazard. Really good burst of pace from Eden

Hazard. Pedro went on ahead of him. There is Willian. This is promising

for Chelsea. Willian. Saved by the legs of Ruddy. Picked up now by

Ivanovic. Too strong for Hazard. legs of Ruddy. Picked up now by

Ruddy required to keep his clean shee intact. A save you would expect

Ruddy to make. Hard work for Norwich at the moment. So far, so good.

Fabregas. Lovely linkup. Pedro's pullback. Diego Costa, who has gone

six games in all competitions without a goal. Just stabbed at it.

He lifted it over the crossbar. Brady, trying to find Mbokani. He

got away from Kenedy. Kept in by Wisdom. Howson. Neatly worked from

Norwich. Brady. He went down under the challenge of Willian. The

referee wasn't interested. The appeals were immediate. The referee

unmoved. Passed to Willian. He has Pedro in support, should he need

him. He might not. Looking for Costa. He was onside. Diego Costa

went to ground. Once again, the referee is unmoved. He

went to ground. Once again, the had claims at one stage. Both

went to ground. Once again, the have had a case at each end. Here's

Olsson. Norwich corner. Bennett and Bassong both forward for this.

Delivered by Redmond. Diego Costa with the defensive header. Poor

touch there from Willian. Back in from Wisdom. It will come at the

back post to Bassong. What a challenge from Terry. Clear opening

for Norwich. John Terry, not for the first time in his Chelsea career,

put his body on the line. Kenedy at the other end. Hazard. Diego Costa.

Kept out by John Ruddy. John Ruddy, once again, the Norwich reason why

his team aren't behind. The ultimate test of character here for Chelsea.

Hazard is fouled again. Quickly taken. Here's Diego Costa. Still

Costa. Breakthrough finally for Chelsea. And Diego Costa's run of

six games without a goal is over. Hazard was fouled. It was quick

thinking here from Chelsea. No sign of offside. He had the option,

Costa, of Pedro, but one step inside, another touch, and then a

very controlled and calm finish passed the dive of John Ruddy. They

have had to be patient, but they've got their rewards. Chelsea have

played well today points mattered over performance.

Hazard, a problem to Norwich all afternoon. Kenedy in support.

He was caught, free kick to Chelsea. He has already been shown the yellow

card, O'Neill. That touch came from Kurt Zouma. Then it crashed against

the crossbar and Chelsea, a whisker away from their second. Good work

from Kurt Zouma. Brady, went the goal. Terrific effort from Robbie

Brady. I think the goalkeeper got a touch along the way. Diego Costa

pointing to where he wants it. Still going, Matic. This is a

fabulous run from Matic. Just opened up for him and he kept on going.

Ruddy, down by his near post to make another save with his legs. In the

second half we could post and we had a couple of important chances. We

should have scored three, four, five goals. But difficult for us to score

goals. So one goal and it is to keep a clean sheet against

goals. So one goal and it is to keep played like we want. Sometimes we

get results and sometimes we don't. We didn't start well this season.

Everybody knows that. We have do try to do better. If we want to finish

in the top four at the end of the season, we have to win a lot of

games now. Conceded the free kick and didn't recover the shape. We

should have done better. It ultimately cost the goal, which

changes the complexion of the match. Then we are searching for the first

goal and the onus is on us to get the goal back. It is difficult to

change that mentality and the pitch when you have set to frustrate them

and hurt them on the counterattack. William enjoyed the winning feeling

and enjoy Saturday night a bit more, despite all you have been through? I

cup. I think a good meal in front of the television. Alex Neil the

Long, it is a first club starter. Stoke are unchanged from the team

that beat Chelsea and Mark Hughes' men haven't conceded an away goal

since September the 12th. Chilly day and the south coast. Temperatures

dropped by ten degrees overnight. It could still be an opportunity for

Southampton. Stoke not getting it convincingly away. Just wide. Five

minutes on the clock and be close to a second consecutive goal in as many

games for Southampton. Just drags it across the front of the goal and

slipped into the penalty area or Shaqiri. In the goalkeeper had to be

alert. Stoke nearly got a second. Mark Hughes no doubt delighted over

the quality and show from his side. Adam. This could come back to hold

them because here is Tadic on the break. Shane Long is outside him.

Tadic goes alone and fires over. He looks across and knows he had an

option in Shane Long alongside him. Tadic went alone. Good combination

work. This could come to see Keary! Good chance for Stoke City right at

the start of the second half and he knows he should have done better.

The tub room for Tadic on his favoured left. Didn't seem to have

too much praise on it. We got the dive from Butland anyway. He covered

his angles just to be sure. It is about trying to get

his angles just to be sure. It is terms. Walters, away again. While he

is defending, there is no one up the field for Stoke City. Johnson

playing the early ball. Arnautovic and the end of this one. It is a bad

miss. And I miss from a player and the end of this one. It is a bad

was a matchwinner only a fortnight ago. Great ball from Glen Johnson.

Arnautovic, you think he has got to make the goalkeeper work.

Arnautovic. Stoke have got numbers. Just wide.

The substitute knows how close he was to a second goal. Second-half, a

few chances for Stoke. Shane Long, the referee played advantage.

Paller, was he caught? No, says the referee. Southampton win a corner,

but there is no penalty. It is the strongest penalty shout of the

afternoon, certainly. Charlie Adam, showing great strength and anatomy.

This is Arnautovic. It is the substitute to wrap it up.

Southampton get it away. It was Bertram's left leg which denied

Stoke a second. Probably the quite as Jack has been. Couple of crosses,

but hardly a save to make and that illustrated how well we defended. We

broke with real purpose and should have scored more goals. Clear-cut

chances we needed to take because at 1-0, you know it might come back to

haunt you. I was delighted with the performance. The first half wasn't

good. Didn't recognise my team. Second-half, a good reaction from

the team. We played better. We were dangerous, but I have to recognise

the best chances came for Stoke. It was a massive team effort. The lads

worked hard and another clean sheet, it is a great record and one

we can build on. Stoke on a roll, won five of last seven. This is a

good team they are turning into. Shaqiri is out on the wing, I like

him. He is getting better as he gets fitter. Arnautovic rolls it out

wide. Great quality. Good movement in the box. I mentioned about

putting the ball into danger area and let forwards get onto the end of

it. He did that. What I would say about is Ryan Shawcross, Stoke

haven't conceded a goal since he came into the team. Southampton

might feel they should have had a penalty? I think he makes contact

with him there. He has got his eyes fixed on the ball, but I think it is

a penalty. They are very lucky. Southampton have been on a good run,

they may lose their momentum little bit. It is a very good result for

Stoke, solid. Moving up the table nicely, Stoke.
