:00:08. > :00:13.Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
:00:14. > :00:17.COMMENTATOR: Goals came and went. And, Keegan.
:00:18. > :00:21.Look at his face! Just look at his face!
:00:22. > :00:23.Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:24. > :00:26.What a goal. Oh, what a goal.
:00:27. > :01:22.Hello to Ian Wright and Tim Sherwood.
:01:23. > :01:32.As Jimmy Hill once said, let's get on with it.
:01:33. > :01:42.Norwich may have lost to straightaway games but they are
:01:43. > :01:46.unbeaten here since October. They have not beaten Liverpool since 1994
:01:47. > :01:55.in what was the last ever game played in front of the Kopp. Ivo
:01:56. > :02:03.Pinto starts and Stephen Naismith from Everton. A third new face,
:02:04. > :02:10.Klose is on the bench. The kids beat Exeter at Anfield on
:02:11. > :02:37.Wednesday in the cup. The flag stayed down. In the net!
:02:38. > :02:51.Roberto Firmino put Liverpool in front. Declan Rudd was beaten. He
:02:52. > :02:57.got a touch. Firmino was clearly played onside. A bobble and a bounce
:02:58. > :03:10.and a flick of the foot. A Liverpool goal. The header found Firmino.
:03:11. > :03:15.James Milner onside. A great recovery. If Robbie Brady was at
:03:16. > :03:19.fault in some respects for the first goal because he played Firmino
:03:20. > :03:24.onside, he's saved Norwich boss Matt Bacon. Milner was away and through.
:03:25. > :03:41.That was beautifully timed by Brady. That was a poll by Bassong. A good
:03:42. > :03:46.decision by Lee Mason. Bassong may look surprised and nonplussed but
:03:47. > :03:55.that is all an act. Firmino could easily have stayed on his feet.
:03:56. > :04:02.Gevero and by Moreno a yard wide. -- driven by Moreno. Something
:04:03. > :04:05.different for a free kick, which is good to see. Was it inside the
:04:06. > :04:16.penalty area? Very close. It took Wes Hoolahan a second to get
:04:17. > :04:24.the ball under control. A decent ball in. Minnie lay, at the expense
:04:25. > :04:33.of a corner. He has been their Achilles heel on many occasions.
:04:34. > :04:44.Danger signs were flashing for Liverpool. He let it drop and
:04:45. > :04:50.Mbokani scored with a backheel. Badly defended by Liverpool. A
:04:51. > :04:57.decent delivery. Never really got it away, Liverpool. When it came back
:04:58. > :05:01.in, he backpedalled away from it and Liverpool paid the penalty with a
:05:02. > :05:09.very handy little backheel from Imber Carney. Norwich are level and
:05:10. > :05:18.a big smile from the manager. -- Mbokani.
:05:19. > :05:30.Back into house. The challenge by Lucas. The ball has gone behind and
:05:31. > :05:43.Norwich have a corner. -- back in two Howson.
:05:44. > :05:47.Milner into the back of Stephen Naismith. A silly way to give away a
:05:48. > :06:09.penalty. Naismith scores on his debut! And
:06:10. > :06:19.Norwich City have turned it around. Stephen Naismith with his first ever
:06:20. > :06:23.goal in English football for Everton and it was against Liverpool and his
:06:24. > :06:31.first goal for Norwich City is against Liverpool. A very smart
:06:32. > :06:38.finish. A lovely ball into him. As precise as it gets. Naismith's first
:06:39. > :06:44.for the Canaries. A familiar story for Jurgen Klopp. Conceding from set
:06:45. > :06:57.pieces and losing away from home. That was nicely done. Naismith
:06:58. > :07:03.stayed on his feet and then went down again. A penalty! Moreno got
:07:04. > :07:08.away with the first challenge and then made another. A penalty to
:07:09. > :07:14.Norwich. A straightforward decision. He might have given one for that but
:07:15. > :07:18.did not. Moreno into the back of Stephen Naismith. Norwich City have
:07:19. > :07:26.their first penalty awarded this season. They have not beaten
:07:27. > :07:36.Liverpool since 1994 but they are 3-1 up. Hoolahan converted. It was
:07:37. > :07:43.not the greatest penalty but it was good enough, just. Liverpool have a
:07:44. > :07:49.lot to do to get back into this game.
:07:50. > :08:00.A Henderson chance and a goal! Liverpool straight back into it.
:08:01. > :08:07.Liverpool, only about a minute and a half after they went 3-1 down
:08:08. > :08:10.Liverpool made it 3-2. It felt beautifully to Henderson and he
:08:11. > :08:14.swept it into the corner. Game on a game. On a knife edge now. -- game
:08:15. > :08:33.on again. Firmino in the middle and 3-3. He
:08:34. > :08:39.wants the ball and Liverpool once a winner. With 28 minutes to play,
:08:40. > :08:42.anything can happen in this game. Firmino started it with a stab ball
:08:43. > :08:50.round the corner. Lallana does really well. Firmino, for the second
:08:51. > :08:56.time in the game, poke the ball beyond Declan Rudd in the net. What
:08:57. > :09:09.a topsy-turvy game it has been for players, fans and managers Alike!
:09:10. > :09:18.Bassong be Firmino. A backpass was cut out by James Milner. One on one
:09:19. > :09:27.would Declan Rudd and Liverpool are in front. They were 1-0 up, 3-1 down
:09:28. > :09:34.and now they are for-3 up. Russell Martin just did not look at all. On
:09:35. > :09:42.a plate for James Milner. As soon as he did it he knew what he had done.
:09:43. > :09:49.Suddenly, Norwich three, Liverpool four. With five minutes to play,
:09:50. > :09:54.five added minutes minimum, it might be a little early in this game to
:09:55. > :09:57.start celebrating. Jurgen Klopp is having a game with the fourth
:09:58. > :10:07.official saying, explain to me whether five minutes have come from.
:10:08. > :10:12.Offside by Christine Benteke. Norwich have an opportunity to knock
:10:13. > :10:23.it on towards the Liverpool goal. -- Christian Benteke. Hit by Bassong!
:10:24. > :10:30.4-4. Sebastien Bassong with a left footed thunderbolt. The game did not
:10:31. > :10:36.deserve to Peter out and it has done quite the opposite. It has exploded
:10:37. > :10:44.again. A brilliant goal from Bassong. I would suggest seldom has
:10:45. > :10:52.he scored anything better than that. Sweetly struck. For-4.
:10:53. > :10:59.A Liverpool throw. It may be that neither side deserves to win this
:11:00. > :11:16.game. Not a happy man. Blocked. Lallana has scored for
:11:17. > :11:26.Liverpool. Adam Lallana has scored for Liverpool. 5-4. And I hesitate
:11:27. > :11:31.to say it, because this game has been so crazy, but surely that is
:11:32. > :11:37.the winner. Adam Lallana gets a yellow card. I do not think he is
:11:38. > :11:44.bothered. The second effort was blocked. Norwich did not clear it.
:11:45. > :11:49.Bounces into the corner of the net and Norwich City right at the death
:11:50. > :11:53.suck up the knockout blow. Liverpool have won an extraordinary game at
:11:54. > :12:01.Carrow Road. You may not see a better game than this all season.
:12:02. > :12:10.You look devastated. I am not happy. We had the game well within our
:12:11. > :12:14.hands. 3-1, comfortable. We did not change anything. Gone about our
:12:15. > :12:20.business and everything was looking good. At that stage, all we
:12:21. > :12:27.transpire to do was make a really good performance into a bit of a
:12:28. > :12:32.shambles. A draw after 92 minutes and after 95 the winner. That is not
:12:33. > :12:37.usual. Letting in four goals in general is not good. It was the
:12:38. > :12:41.biggest rubbish after set plays. Even when you go for-4 with two
:12:42. > :12:45.minutes to go, you should be able to see out the game. It would have
:12:46. > :12:50.turned into a very good point and we would have been feeling slightly
:12:51. > :12:56.different. If we cannot defend our golf two minutes, we are going to
:12:57. > :13:00.get punished. When it dropped in the penalty area, did you think it would
:13:01. > :13:04.go in? As soon as it took the bounce, I knew it was going away
:13:05. > :13:09.from the keeper. I had a knock this week and it would have been easy for
:13:10. > :13:14.them to say, get ready for the game on Tuesday. They gave me a chance to
:13:15. > :13:19.be involved and it paid off. In the end it is deserved because we strike
:13:20. > :13:23.back in a really spectacular way. We played cool and the players played
:13:24. > :13:28.football under pressure. It was a very important game for us today.
:13:29. > :13:33.Getting five goals here was not too easy but we did good. An
:13:34. > :13:43.extraordinary game of football. Incredible scenes at Carrow Road.
:13:44. > :13:46.What did you make of it? The last five minutes was amazing. It was one
:13:47. > :13:49.of those games where you felt every time there was an attack someone
:13:50. > :13:55.would score. The finale, it was bonkers, wasn't it? You do not want
:13:56. > :13:58.to be a manager on a day like that. They will have aged significantly.
:13:59. > :14:05.Jurgen Klopp was having a word with the fourth official. He was arguing
:14:06. > :14:09.the case. Christian Benteke ran offside needlessly and they stuck
:14:10. > :14:14.the ball in the danger area. Sebastien Bassong started in an
:14:15. > :14:19.offside position. Looking for knock-downs, anything that could
:14:20. > :14:26.drop. He got himself around, got the second ball and was striking nothing
:14:27. > :14:36.better than that. This was the best strike I have ever seen him hit will
:14:37. > :14:41.stop he needs all the five minutes. The emergency striker kept the ball
:14:42. > :14:44.alive twice. A bad header from Robbie Brady. Smashed into the
:14:45. > :14:49.ground. The scenes after that are phenomenal.
:14:50. > :14:56.The manager is enjoying the win with his team. He breaks his glasses,
:14:57. > :15:00.loses them. He won't mind that, one of the Norwich officials is not too
:15:01. > :15:03.happy with his conduct, but you can allow him that today, because it is
:15:04. > :15:08.such an emotional game, such a wonderful end to the game. Quite
:15:09. > :15:14.common for you, this programme itself. Looking at the positives for
:15:15. > :15:17.Norwich, it's probably tough for them, especially given that finale,
:15:18. > :15:22.but Naismith, new signing, did really well. Really good signing,
:15:23. > :15:26.one of those players who gets in that nice space between defenders
:15:27. > :15:29.and midfielders, always looking to get behind defenders. I thought it
:15:30. > :15:35.was a very good debut for him. I thing here, this is eager to impress
:15:36. > :15:38.on his debut. It looks like it's worse than it is but there is no
:15:39. > :15:43.malice in that from him, just trying to go from the ball. Getting into
:15:44. > :15:51.those nice spaces, trying to attack behind defenders. He takes Toure and
:15:52. > :15:58.Sakho into areas in some places that they will exploit. I think that's a
:15:59. > :16:05.penalty. Here he is now linking the play. You watch him here, Can, he
:16:06. > :16:12.makes his move, and Can doesn't move. I think he is still standing
:16:13. > :16:16.there now. What a finish that is. He is not getting too much on there but
:16:17. > :16:20.he's not looking for anything else apart from the strike here, I don't
:16:21. > :16:23.know what Moreno is doing. This is a terrible challenge. Just to compound
:16:24. > :16:30.it, here's another terrible challenge and that's a penalty. It
:16:31. > :16:33.was madness. Madness, a ridiculous challenge. He has challenged him
:16:34. > :16:36.again there. It was a good debut, he will be very disappointed because he
:16:37. > :16:41.has done very well, contributed today, but ended up on the losing
:16:42. > :16:45.side. A good signing? A good signing, he is proven in the Premier
:16:46. > :16:48.League and you have that with Naismith. We have plenty more good
:16:49. > :16:51.stuff to come. After the FA Cup win over Leicester,
:16:52. > :16:53.Tottenham continued their quest for three trophies with a trip
:16:54. > :16:56.to Crystal Palace, who are desperate It's now three defeats in a row,
:16:57. > :17:13.and five without scoring. Palace's goal drought continued last
:17:14. > :17:18.weekend, Spurs are unbeaten, likely to be tested here. There was a doubt
:17:19. > :17:22.about Delaney, the Palace captain, but he plays in an unchanged
:17:23. > :17:27.line-up. Hennessey keeps his place in goal despite recent mistakes.
:17:28. > :17:30.Several players rested in the FA Cup notably Harry Kane, but Alex Song is
:17:31. > :17:43.in for Lamela. That should be clear. Still in a
:17:44. > :17:47.dangerous area for Palace. Eriksen, took Kane. Kane again. Plays it in
:17:48. > :17:53.low, that was well defended by Hennessey at his near post.
:17:54. > :18:00.Tottenham threaten a breakthrough. Eriksen waits. Oh, goodness,
:18:01. > :18:09.Alderweireld with a header, but there were defenders as well as a
:18:10. > :18:13.goalkeeper and the header was wide. Good work by Cabaye.
:18:14. > :18:26.Here is Puncheon. The ball would not run for Cabaye. Not the way he
:18:27. > :18:35.wanted. It's an own goal! Vertonghen. Inadvertently,
:18:36. > :18:38.attempting to clear, only pushed the ball, beyond his own goalkeeper and
:18:39. > :18:45.after this long drought, Palace finally score. Tottenham certainly
:18:46. > :18:49.should have cleared it. Saha with a little cross in, and Vertonghen
:18:50. > :18:57.helpless. But on an initially was a little bit delicate in his first
:18:58. > :18:59.attempt at clearance, decisive and fortunately for Tottenham in terms
:19:00. > :19:15.of his second. Lloris had no chance. I good ball, Zaha. Great from Zaha,
:19:16. > :19:23.shoots, rather selfishly at goal, and over. Look how he took on Danny
:19:24. > :19:25.Rose, but there were three colleagues creeping towards the far
:19:26. > :19:39.post, could have found them instead. Playing deep for Rose, a great save
:19:40. > :19:45.by Hennessey. Arguably, Rose should have scored. It was a great cross by
:19:46. > :19:50.Eriksen. Look at the run from Danny Rose, up from left-back, the shot on
:19:51. > :19:54.target, arguably straight at the goalkeeper but he still had to hold
:19:55. > :19:58.onto it and he did. It's a long time ago since Tottenham lost away in the
:19:59. > :20:04.league. That was courtesy of an own goal. Oh, goodness, that was a great
:20:05. > :20:08.effort from Eriksen. Hennessey was definitely beaten. Look at this. It
:20:09. > :20:18.was curling inwards. He hit that really well.
:20:19. > :20:29.Vertonghen, scorer of the only goal so far. There is Kane with a header.
:20:30. > :20:35.The angle was accused. Hennessey was behind it. -- the angle was acute.
:20:36. > :20:47.Kane was onside, he caught sight of the ball little late.
:20:48. > :20:59.Hi, for Kane. Kane has equalised. Harry Kane with his 12th goal in 14
:21:00. > :21:03.league games. His 16th of the season. He just needed one clear
:21:04. > :21:11.chance. He had it, he took it Harry Kane.
:21:12. > :21:24.Rose's cross wasn't great, Chadli after it, there you go, Harry, 1-1.
:21:25. > :21:36.Puncheon again. Looking for Wickham. A chance for Zaha. Good save by
:21:37. > :21:40.Lloris. The key for the French goalkeeper was he didn't push it
:21:41. > :21:41.out, he pushed it away. In opportunity though for Zaha denied
:21:42. > :21:57.by Lloris. Setting up for Souare, saved.
:21:58. > :22:00.Brilliant block by Alderweireld. On the rebound, two chances for Palace.
:22:01. > :22:09.This is the first, soiree, then Delaney. -- Souare. A Tottenham
:22:10. > :22:13.player down injured, it could have been an elbow there from Connor
:22:14. > :22:20.Wickham. Did Wickham catch Vertonghen? Oh, yes, he did.
:22:21. > :22:31.I good ball from Cabaye. On by Wickham. Zaha bursts into the
:22:32. > :22:37.penalty area. Cabaye is in as well. It's a free kick for Palace. In a
:22:38. > :22:47.good position, Puncheon. Quite cynical. The signal from Puncheon.
:22:48. > :22:59.A free header, off the crossbar. It has come off the crossbar again.
:23:00. > :23:03.Double SWAT for Tottenham. The first one from Jedinak, the second one
:23:04. > :23:15.from Scott Dann. Almost 2-1 for Palace. It's getting a bit tasty,
:23:16. > :23:28.let's say. Kane with the cross, Delaney's header or a. -- header
:23:29. > :23:32.away. Kane again. Alli, what a goal. Sensational control from Dele Alli,
:23:33. > :23:36.and the right foot with the volley, past Hennessey. Burley and,
:23:37. > :23:49.brilliant goal from the New England player.
:23:50. > :23:57.What a volley! That's one of the goals of the season. Sensational.
:23:58. > :24:08.Save some of that for France, Dele Alli. No wonder he is smiling, Roy
:24:09. > :24:09.Hodgson. Zaha keeps it in play, only playing it into Tottenham's
:24:10. > :24:23.possession. Rose takes the free kick, to Dele
:24:24. > :24:26.Alli, Alli can finish it. Off the crossbar again. This time, at the
:24:27. > :24:43.other end. Oh, what a goal! Chadli has finished
:24:44. > :24:48.off Palace. It's worked beyond Hennessey into the far corner, and
:24:49. > :24:55.Tottenham, having been a goal down at half-time, take all three points
:24:56. > :25:01.away from Selhurst Park. A bit disappointed, but I think we have
:25:02. > :25:08.sorted some problems and the mentality we showed, how we played,
:25:09. > :25:15.we fully deserved, we conceded some chances, and after 90 minutes I
:25:16. > :25:23.think the result was fair. Harry Kane with the equaliser, Dele Alli
:25:24. > :25:28.with that goal. Luck, you know. It was a natural instinct, I took a
:25:29. > :25:34.touch. He's a special young talent and I couldn't be happy for him. --
:25:35. > :25:38.I couldn't be happier for him. He works hard and will carry on working
:25:39. > :25:42.hard. We gave a good account for ourselves today, looking at their
:25:43. > :25:47.goal, if I take him out of the equation and put an average goal in
:25:48. > :25:52.we come out winners today. He was terrific and racial -- really
:25:53. > :25:56.crucial times for Spurs. They had to really begin today. It was a shame
:25:57. > :26:00.for us because on another day we could have Watt it. There is no
:26:01. > :26:03.doubt that both sides played excellently in that game and it
:26:04. > :26:07.could have gone either way but Spurs stuck in there. There is more
:26:08. > :26:12.resilience about them. Healthy resilience, which I like to see from
:26:13. > :26:16.Tottenham. They didn't get it all their own way today. Look at Danny
:26:17. > :26:21.Rose, getting to the ball, where the danger is. Like Alan Pardew said,
:26:22. > :26:26.he's the best in the league. They are getting there, Alderweireld puts
:26:27. > :26:30.his body on the line, blocks things. Look at Lloris, he bounces about, he
:26:31. > :26:33.is up, no time, bouncing around again, gets across his goal,
:26:34. > :26:38.wonderful defending from Tottenham. It allows the players then to get
:26:39. > :26:42.these opportunities and this is magnificent from Dele Alli. The past
:26:43. > :26:45.from Harry Kane is fantastic, the cushion header from Eriksen, and
:26:46. > :26:53.instinct. I have scored one of those when I was a kid against people who
:26:54. > :26:57.couldn't play football. He's doing it in the Premier League, fantastic.
:26:58. > :27:01.It makes your heart smile, it was a 19-year-old should be doing. The
:27:02. > :27:06.ball is running away to quick from him so he can't get his foot away
:27:07. > :27:10.from it did in getting, amazing. They have quality and depth, Chadli
:27:11. > :27:13.can come off the bench and give you that. At the moment they have the
:27:14. > :27:20.strongest squad in the Premier League, barman city. It's a healthy
:27:21. > :27:25.blend of experience and youth -- bar Manchester City. No wonder Hodgson
:27:26. > :27:30.is watching Tottenham playing, five internationals in the starting XI.
:27:31. > :27:32.We have to look at that special, magical goal. It's his awareness,
:27:33. > :27:45.doing stuff. You have to try those things, we
:27:46. > :27:49.know what he's capable of. I remember Karl Robinson talked about
:27:50. > :27:52.how great he was, how great he thinks he's going to be, he must
:27:53. > :27:59.business priced about how brilliant he is doing. Has devilment about
:28:00. > :28:03.him, and edge to his game? I think people are trying to put that tag on
:28:04. > :28:07.him, when you look at this here with Cabaye, I think he is running past,
:28:08. > :28:11.not really looking at anything going on, he has caught in the back but it
:28:12. > :28:16.doesn't look like something malicious, where he has had a dig
:28:17. > :28:20.with the knee. Do we for faults, too much? Looking for the negative, what
:28:21. > :28:25.he has the Devil streak which will look for, there is enough players
:28:26. > :28:29.without it, we don't need to take it out of him. One of the moment of
:28:30. > :28:34.devilment, Connor Wickham's elbow. He might be in trouble. I think so,
:28:35. > :28:40.unfortunately for him. He was pulled back. Old school nastiness, if you
:28:41. > :28:45.watch it from here, he knows what is happening, he is getting pulled
:28:46. > :28:50.back. The unfortunate thing here, if you watch Vertonghen go down it has
:28:51. > :28:54.opened his knee up. He came off injured. If you look at his left
:28:55. > :29:00.knee, his ligament as he goes down just here. It opens it up. Hopefully
:29:01. > :29:05.that's not too bad because Alderweireld and the Tom Hampton
:29:06. > :29:10.have been outstanding, -- baton and have been outstanding and it's been
:29:11. > :29:13.a catalyst for success this season. -- Vertonghen.
:29:14. > :29:16.The last time West Ham completed the double over Manchester City
:29:17. > :29:19.was back in 1963, when the Hammers won both meetings 6-1.
:29:20. > :29:21.It was only 2-1 to Slaven Bilic's side back in September,
:29:22. > :29:23.but another win would hamper City's title ambitions.
:29:24. > :29:29.Commentary comes from Jonathan Pearce.
:29:30. > :29:43.Winston Weed returns -- Winston Reid returns. Another defeat would be a
:29:44. > :29:49.major body blow for Manuel Pellegrini's side. They are looking
:29:50. > :29:52.to Sergio Aguero to continue his fine form. He has four goals in 11
:29:53. > :30:06.team meetings. Manchester City are in their change
:30:07. > :30:10.of strip. They will get the match under way, kicking from left to
:30:11. > :30:18.right in the first half towards the Bobby Moore stand. Every single game
:30:19. > :30:25.at this ground this season and emotional occasion. Six years by the
:30:26. > :30:31.way this week since the joint chairman, backed up by Karen Brady,
:30:32. > :30:32.took over at West Ham United. Next season they moved to the Olympic
:30:33. > :30:47.Stadium. Otamendi has been a model of
:30:48. > :30:52.consistency in the Manchester City defence this season.
:30:53. > :31:06.A great chance. West Ham have scored inside 55 seconds. How about this
:31:07. > :31:10.for a start! They have shocked Manchester City again. It was such a
:31:11. > :31:21.positive, driving run here, through the gap. Torre could not live with
:31:22. > :31:28.him. The loose ball whipped in. Look how easily he brushes past Yaya
:31:29. > :31:33.Toure. Joe Hart will not be wanting to see this again. Saw it late from
:31:34. > :31:44.behind them a chalice. Thumbs up for the manager will stop -- Demicelis.
:31:45. > :31:50.They lost that opening two games here of the campaign. That was a
:31:51. > :32:02.foul. He fifth league appearance this
:32:03. > :32:08.season. Out to the end of November with an ankle problem. Off the post.
:32:09. > :32:12.So unlucky. Read was confident enough to do that and he cannot
:32:13. > :32:16.believe it. Very nearly 1-1. Brittany done by wearing. The spin
:32:17. > :32:30.of the ball and it was taken a bit wide. -- brilliantly done by
:32:31. > :32:36.wearing. Down in the penalty area, penalty given. Challenge by
:32:37. > :32:44.Jenkinson. Sergio Aguero has started so positively. Denied by the post
:32:45. > :32:49.moments ago. He wins the penalty. His thigh goes across Sergio Aguero.
:32:50. > :32:57.That is unlucky for the West Ham man, isn't it? From that angle, it
:32:58. > :33:01.is a penalty. He is West Ham's nemesis. Two goals in the opening
:33:02. > :33:14.five minutes. That was neatly put away. Booing from the West Ham fans.
:33:15. > :33:17.He equalises from the spot. An interesting pair, Russell Brand and
:33:18. > :33:22.Noel Gallagher. They are on opposing sides today.
:33:23. > :33:29.West Ham are not committing enough bodies forward.
:33:30. > :33:45.He finds Antonio. Brought down. Just a yellow card. That was a definite
:33:46. > :33:49.yellow. The big decision, should this have been read? I do not think
:33:50. > :33:57.the city defenders would have got there on time. Slaven Bilic believes
:33:58. > :34:02.it should have been red card. That was a brilliant free kick and an
:34:03. > :34:08.astounding save. That is why he is the England number one. Look at the
:34:09. > :34:14.gap he had to make up! Quick feet, athleticism, and straight to the
:34:15. > :34:20.hand. Russell Brand thought it was in and so did most of Upton Park.
:34:21. > :34:31.He nearly lost possession, David Silva. He was a bit casual. West Ham
:34:32. > :34:35.not pressing with the same intensity at the start of the second half. He
:34:36. > :34:44.goes for it. Struck the post. Second time he has hit the woodwork in the
:34:45. > :34:50.game. Fabian Delph was so unlucky. Off the foot of the post. 16 points
:34:51. > :34:57.from a possible 21 this season against last season's top six sides
:34:58. > :35:03.for Slaven Bilic. The throw was quickly taken. He has got the wrong
:35:04. > :35:08.side and scores. Manchester City simply switched off. That was
:35:09. > :35:15.dreadful defending. A poacher's instinct took him in there. It is
:35:16. > :35:21.the second of the game for Valencia. Look at this! Otamendi let him go.
:35:22. > :35:27.There should not have been any danger from that, from a throw, from
:35:28. > :35:32.there. He was too powerful, too determined. He's scored in the first
:35:33. > :35:43.minute of the game and scores 11 minutes into the second half. West
:35:44. > :35:49.Ham can ill afford to sit deep. Manchester City will pick them off.
:35:50. > :35:54.They looked beaten side at Vicarage Road. City will feel they deserve a
:35:55. > :36:02.point out of this and they may well get it yet.
:36:03. > :36:14.Sergio Aguero! 2-2. Determination got him in there. The young
:36:15. > :36:19.substitute did so well. Bustling on. When it broke to Sergio Aguero, he
:36:20. > :36:26.put it in. The finish of a born goal-scorer. West Ham 2-2 Manchester
:36:27. > :36:32.City. A man West Ham fear has done it again to them. -- the man. Some
:36:33. > :36:46.battle this. Noble has been everywhere for West
:36:47. > :36:56.Ham. It came to Sergio Aguero and the shot straight to Adrian.
:36:57. > :37:11.He was fouled. A yellow card for the substitute. Upton Park, home of so
:37:12. > :37:17.many Hammers heroes. Nearly found another. The header hit the bar and
:37:18. > :37:23.rocked it. It would have been aces Asia lent to a wonderful game of
:37:24. > :37:29.football. It villages to appease. -- a insatiable end.
:37:30. > :37:41.It was a wonderful game to watch for the fans. A little bit more luck and
:37:42. > :37:46.we could have won the game. We are a little bit disappointed. I'd told
:37:47. > :37:49.them we should not be but if you're disappointed to draw with Manchester
:37:50. > :37:58.City, you know you have a good team. One of the first things he did was
:37:59. > :38:03.get the ball down the wing and the crowd purred. Have you been brought
:38:04. > :38:06.up to play that way? I always try to keep a cool head. It is easier
:38:07. > :38:13.playing in a team like that. There are options on the ball. Players of
:38:14. > :38:19.that quality, it really does help. Should Demicellis have seen red? You
:38:20. > :38:25.might catch him but the goal was, it was not at the centre of the pitch.
:38:26. > :38:34.25 yards. I think it should have been read. Dying seconds of the
:38:35. > :38:42.game, in comes the free kick. It was rocking. Good drama for the TV. It
:38:43. > :38:47.was always going over. Loads of good drama. Another really tasty game of
:38:48. > :38:54.football. Lots of good performances. Dmitri Payet has been a tremendous
:38:55. > :38:59.signing. Best player on the pitch. You look to other people to do stuff
:39:00. > :39:06.that he attracts your attention. He is a very good footballer. When you
:39:07. > :39:14.see his feet, I am thinking, summary has to get in there. He has great
:39:15. > :39:21.feat. No one is making a move. -- someone has to get in there. This is
:39:22. > :39:26.superb. Joe Hart was awesome. A magnificent save. Again here, he
:39:27. > :39:32.gets out of trouble with his feet. He plays it out. He is doing this
:39:33. > :39:42.all day. West Ham fans must be loving it. That was brilliant. A
:39:43. > :39:48.crossfield pass to Byron. A fantastic debut himself. Fantastic
:39:49. > :39:55.stuff. Getting back. A lovely bit of skill. Just harm. Very calm. In
:39:56. > :40:00.control. He does it his pace when he wants to do it. He moves the quick
:40:01. > :40:05.when he needs to. He seems to pick the right pass and the right time to
:40:06. > :40:12.dribble all the time. When you need to run the clock down, he gets his
:40:13. > :40:17.body across and runs the clock down. Wonderful. That is how important he
:40:18. > :40:27.has been to them. Look at the win percentage. Eight games with him and
:40:28. > :40:33.one without. He is massive to them. A real talent. Talking about
:40:34. > :40:39.talented players, Sergio Aguero, he got Manchester City out of a bit of
:40:40. > :40:42.a hole. I think the defending has been poor. We keep talking about
:40:43. > :40:52.Vincent Kompany being missing. This is a chance. Antonia goes past. It
:40:53. > :40:57.is a red card. He identifies it. He knocks it passed. Is it a
:40:58. > :41:04.goal-scoring opportunity? It should be a red card. He is doing his hair.
:41:05. > :41:13.At this level you get punished. He certainly did. I feel for Joe Hart.
:41:14. > :41:18.Look at the says he is pulling out! With that haircut, I would not
:41:19. > :41:24.bother. With defenders in front of you, you are making mistakes like
:41:25. > :41:27.that. It could possibly cost them the title chances.
:41:28. > :41:29.Leicester City's title challenge is refusing to go away -
:41:30. > :41:32.they started the second on goal difference to Arsenal.
:41:33. > :41:33.Today, they welcomed Stoke to the King Power,
:41:34. > :41:46.They had accumulated 28 goals between them so far. Borrowers has
:41:47. > :41:54.gone five games without a goal. They both start in the same Leicester
:41:55. > :41:58.team that drew against Aston Villa. Stoke kept nine clean sheets in
:41:59. > :42:06.their last 16 matches. They welcome back Shaqiri.
:42:07. > :42:15.Only Arsenal have managed to win here in the Premier League so far
:42:16. > :42:22.this season. That is a terrific ball into waters. Can he take it with
:42:23. > :42:27.him? Good save. He is frustrated, Jonathan Walters, understandably so.
:42:28. > :42:33.Look at this pass from Erik Pieters. A well timed run. He could not get
:42:34. > :42:41.it under control and he went to shoot. Schmeichel was out quickly.
:42:42. > :42:51.That was a good effort! Put behind by Erik Pieters. An opportunity at
:42:52. > :42:55.each end inside 60 seconds. This is the first quality delivery we have
:42:56. > :42:57.seen so far from Leicester. Jamie Vardy pulled away. Too hot to
:42:58. > :43:12.handle. What to refit effort from Mahrez!
:43:13. > :43:19.Just wide in the end. Watch the Algerian international. -- what a
:43:20. > :43:25.terrific effort. Claudio Ranieir's team have been involved in matches
:43:26. > :43:35.scoring 65 Premier League goals. He had the shot in the end. It was
:43:36. > :43:43.Jamie Vardy who went to ground. Just watch him. A bit of a wrestle and
:43:44. > :43:50.then it dropped. He could not keep the effort down. They have formal
:43:51. > :43:56.points on the board than they did last season and they went on to
:43:57. > :44:06.finish ninth. He is looking to set Jamie Vardy away. He was not caught,
:44:07. > :44:12.according to the referee. His assistant, Richard West, said he
:44:13. > :44:14.was. Free kick to Leicester. Minimal contact. Jamie Vardy was waiting for
:44:15. > :44:30.that contact. We learn on the stretch conceived
:44:31. > :44:41.the corner. -- Whelan on the stretch. Drinkwater! Deflected along
:44:42. > :44:49.the way. Danny Drinkwater with his first ever Premier League goal,
:44:50. > :44:53.breaks the deadlock. The goalkeeper was beaten. Stoke dealt with the
:44:54. > :45:02.first ball and then the touch just took it away from Jack Butland. Of
:45:03. > :45:08.Wilson. That is what deceived the Stoke goalkeeper. Nothing he could
:45:09. > :45:11.do about it. He is delighted about it. The king power Stadium is
:45:12. > :45:23.bouncing. Stoke the fifth lowest goal-scorers
:45:24. > :45:29.in the Premier League. As they try to find a way through, they have to
:45:30. > :45:33.score in this one. Here is Johnson, can he deliver an inviting delivery?
:45:34. > :45:38.He can, in came the header from Joselu, punched away by Schmeichel.
:45:39. > :45:43.It's the first time they've given any of their strikers and inviting
:45:44. > :45:54.delivery all day. A routine save in the end forced Schmeichel. Vardy is
:45:55. > :46:02.in behind, 2-0. Seven games without a goal is over. Jamie Vardy is back
:46:03. > :46:06.on the scoresheet. And Leicester have doubled their advantage, his
:46:07. > :46:24.16th Premier League goal of the season.
:46:25. > :46:32.A lovely touch away from Wilson, didn't have too much to a map but
:46:33. > :46:37.kept his cool. It will be a relief to him and his manager as well. --
:46:38. > :46:44.he didn't have too much to aim at. Midway through the second half,
:46:45. > :46:53.Leicester two, Stoke nil. Once a bit more from his team. -- he wants a
:46:54. > :46:58.bit more from his team. Kante, brilliant balance and pace. He is
:46:59. > :47:04.trying to set Vardy, and it needed Wollscheid to block. No wonder Vardy
:47:05. > :47:06.is applauding Kante. What a find this fellow has been, a good
:47:07. > :47:17.challenge from Wollscheid. Schmeichel's clearance, Leonardo
:47:18. > :47:22.Ulloa's touch, Vardy is onto it. It will wriggle away from Wilson, he
:47:23. > :47:27.has more resins aboard. Here is Mahrez, brilliantly done, Leonardo
:47:28. > :47:36.Ulloa. Three goals. Three points for Leicester. Just a second Premier
:47:37. > :47:41.League goal of the season for Leonardo Ulloa. Leicester City, back
:47:42. > :47:53.to winning ways and back on top of the Premier League.
:47:54. > :48:02.Mahrez did brilliantly here. Leonardo Ulloa was alive to the
:48:03. > :48:05.situation to poke it home. Lovely skill from Mahrez and Leonardo Ulloa
:48:06. > :48:08.from six yards out accepted that, gleefully. Leicester City three,
:48:09. > :48:20.Stoke City nil. Done and dusted for Leicester.
:48:21. > :48:25.Claudio Ranieri's team back on top of the league. They have now won 20
:48:26. > :48:31.of their last 32 Premier League matches. They have Vardy back
:48:32. > :48:38.amongst the goals as well, and they have beaten Stoke by 3-0. Very
:48:39. > :48:45.pleased, because Stoke City is very strong and tough team, very tall,
:48:46. > :48:49.and was very difficult to fight against them. But we scored at the
:48:50. > :48:53.right moment, the first half. We played poorly today and didn't
:48:54. > :48:56.really get our game going at any point of the proceedings. Credit to
:48:57. > :49:00.Leicester, when they got opportunities they are good
:49:01. > :49:05.finishers and took the game away from us, but unfortunately for us
:49:06. > :49:09.today, we went behind in the game and at no point really we looks as
:49:10. > :49:14.though we would get back. 15 games to go, top of the league, you have
:49:15. > :49:18.to say you are a contender? I don't know if we are a contender at this
:49:19. > :49:22.moment. We want to fight now. There is a big month, a difficult month,
:49:23. > :49:27.and after this month I can say something more realistic. Why do you
:49:28. > :49:32.think it could end? We have to concentrate on the next game first,
:49:33. > :49:34.don't we? If we are up there by the end of the season then it's been an
:49:35. > :49:35.unbelievable achievement end of the season then it's been an
:49:36. > :49:42.unbelievable achievement for this club. Well, on it goes, on it goes,
:49:43. > :49:47.and Leicester's striking triumvirate were back, rested in midweek for the
:49:48. > :49:50.FA Cup and they looked sharp, full of beans? They did, they had a
:49:51. > :49:56.problem midweek getting behind Spurs and credit to Spurs, but in Mahrez,
:49:57. > :50:01.Vardy and Okazaki today, they were trying to get every opportunity. You
:50:02. > :50:05.will look at Okazaki, looking to get forward, Jamie Vardy is looking to
:50:06. > :50:09.get forward and what you are getting in Marc Albrighton, as soon as he
:50:10. > :50:13.gets half a chance he will get the ball in the box. You have good
:50:14. > :50:18.reason to get up there. Okazaki has gone, Vardy has gone, the ball goes
:50:19. > :50:22.out. -- out to Albrighton, not waiting to get the ball in the box,
:50:23. > :50:26.not faffing about, getting it in there. The same here, gets down,
:50:27. > :50:31.cuts back in. You want to see Mahrez getting in here, like he was doing
:50:32. > :50:36.earlier in the season. He didn't do it and misses out on a tap in for
:50:37. > :50:38.himself there may be but he had a fantastic game but what about that
:50:39. > :50:45.for a pass from Drinkwater? That is as good a pass as you will ever see,
:50:46. > :50:47.a great touch from Vardy. That wasn't an easy touch, coming over
:50:48. > :50:54.your shoulder. He flicks it, fantastic finish from him. The same
:50:55. > :50:58.again, Drinkwater, good run, he got a bit overexcited to try to get it
:50:59. > :51:04.in, he put too much on it. But then this was amazing. With Mahrez,
:51:05. > :51:09.Wollscheid is probably at home now saying, what happened to me today?
:51:10. > :51:15.I'm going to give Bart -- Mahrez the benefit of the doubt and say he hit
:51:16. > :51:18.that, passed it with the outside of his foot to Leonardo Ulloa because
:51:19. > :51:24.you can't do skill that I mis-kick it. Fantastic today, fantastic. They
:51:25. > :51:28.certainly were. We talked about Payet is a brilliant signing but a
:51:29. > :51:33.contender of signing for the season has to be Kante, he has been a
:51:34. > :51:37.marvellous player. A huge find, they are playing 4-4- two, him and
:51:38. > :51:41.Drinkwater covering a lot of distance. I would hate to have
:51:42. > :51:47.played against him, all of you like a bad rash. You can't shake him off.
:51:48. > :51:51.He opens up passes off his left side, his right side, outstanding,
:51:52. > :51:54.when there is space to drive, he drives. He drives the team forward.
:51:55. > :52:00.They are very good counterattacking team because of this fellow. He
:52:01. > :52:04.finds the pass. Look at that, the weight of the passes outstanding.
:52:05. > :52:10.This is even better, off his left side. Wriggles, find himself space
:52:11. > :52:15.and the weight of pass off his left foot is outstanding. If you must add
:52:16. > :52:19.goals, know primarily it's not as position to score goals, if he added
:52:20. > :52:27.them he would be at Real Madrid! He's going nowhere! Hopefully, leave
:52:28. > :52:31.him alone. We did see possibly, quite probably, the worst free kick
:52:32. > :52:38.of the season, I think, Robert Huth, just for entertainment value, this
:52:39. > :52:47.one. He knew what he was doing, late in the game. Drinkwater got on his
:52:48. > :52:50.way. He saw the funny side, subsequently turned to Twitter, nine
:52:51. > :52:55.times out of ten they creep inside the top corner, a good sense of
:52:56. > :53:01.humour. Stoke were missing players today? There were a few on the edge
:53:02. > :53:04.of being injured today, Mark asked rested them and quite rightly so.
:53:05. > :53:11.They have a massive game at the Carling Cup, it's a big opportunity
:53:12. > :53:18.for them to win a trophy. Yes... 1973 Stoke won, the League Cup.
:53:19. > :53:24.Match Of The Day two has a couple of crackers for you.
:53:25. > :53:39.5live will have commentary of Arsenal v Chelsea at 4:00pm.
:53:40. > :53:42.It's the fourth round of the FA Cup next weekend,
:53:43. > :53:44.and we kick-off our coverage with Derby against Manchester United
:53:45. > :53:50.You can download Match Of The Day on the iPlayer from midnight Monday.
:53:51. > :53:59.Manchester United's win over Liverpool last weekend prompted
:54:00. > :54:02.Louis van Gaal to declare that the club are still
:54:03. > :54:06.Today, they faced a Southampton side who won the last time they played
:54:07. > :54:22.18-year-old Cameron Borthwick-Jackson has looked quite
:54:23. > :54:26.at home in this Manchester United games to date, now he comes in for
:54:27. > :54:30.Ashley Young, in the only change to the side from last Sunday.
:54:31. > :54:35.Southampton bring back Tadic into their starting line-up, a scorer and
:54:36. > :54:40.substituted both the last two games, and he got the only goal here last
:54:41. > :54:44.season, Saints' first win at Old Trafford since 1988. New signing
:54:45. > :54:49.Charlie Austin is amongst the substitutes. The euphoria of last
:54:50. > :54:52.week's win at Liverpool will probably be forgotten, if it's
:54:53. > :55:01.sideways passing again. Blind thought about it long and hard
:55:02. > :55:07.and there was a bit of swerve away from Fraser Forster. Well held by
:55:08. > :55:14.the Southampton keeper. It was a bit of early away swing in that. Not
:55:15. > :55:21.enough to lift you to the edge of your seat and beyond yet. Wanyama,
:55:22. > :55:26.court inadvertently I think by Marouane Fellaini. Keeps it away
:55:27. > :55:32.from Rooney, Mike Jones will tend to the stricken Southampton player.
:55:33. > :55:38.Fellaini is all arms when he jobs. That is not an arm, well, it is, but
:55:39. > :55:44.it is the point of the elbow on it. The same old same old so far, and
:55:45. > :55:47.log -- not a lot of pace in the game and not a lot of excitement in
:55:48. > :55:50.either penalty area. Blind not helped by a couple of passes but he
:55:51. > :55:59.has been caught seemingly struggling on a couple of occasions now.
:56:00. > :56:04.Clasie, a good ball as well. Tadic through towards Mane, he collected
:56:05. > :56:08.it nicely but swung and missed with the attempted finish. The first
:56:09. > :56:12.chance of the need sort of note for either team. Very nicely worked,
:56:13. > :56:16.that's a good touch to bring it down. He couldn't quite get the legs
:56:17. > :56:20.and feet sorted out. It actually bounces just off top of the left
:56:21. > :56:25.knee and away from the swinging foot.
:56:26. > :56:36.It is Mane who runs away with the ball for Southampton. And runs, runs
:56:37. > :56:41.away from Herrera. De Gea unsure. Darmian got his head to the ball
:56:42. > :56:48.with Long closing in, quite a hefty collision between the two. Nothing
:56:49. > :56:53.Long and could do to stop himself. Another defensive injury for
:56:54. > :57:01.Manchester United, it seems. Southampton take the throw and win a
:57:02. > :57:09.corner. De Gea is ready. Clasie's corner. Following Shane Long
:57:10. > :57:15.everywhere, not closely enough. But he did get the touch. It's behind
:57:16. > :57:19.for another corner. Shirt tugging there, small and on van Dyck --
:57:20. > :57:23.Virgil van Dijk, Smalling was all over Mitrovic recently at Newcastle
:57:24. > :57:30.to concede a penalty. He was on Virgil van Dijk again. Fired over,
:57:31. > :57:34.and a chance, only just wide. Victor Wanyama. Wanyama freed himself from
:57:35. > :57:51.Rooney's attentions. But with Schneiderlin, and onto the
:57:52. > :57:57.ball. Blocked by McNair. Targett plays it against Lingard,
:57:58. > :58:02.Southampton corner. Giggs looks as though he is itching to get on. His
:58:03. > :58:16.shirt was being pulled by Smalling. Away by Rooney. That's twice now he
:58:17. > :58:21.has had a clear hold of Virgil van Dijk's shirt, if that's spotted it
:58:22. > :58:26.could be another penalty against Manchester United. We have a pitch
:58:27. > :58:29.invader, I do hope these careful! Watch out, Mickey! That's one of the
:58:30. > :58:34.most exciting things that has happened all-day! This is the man
:58:35. > :58:39.they have wanted to see today, his first appearance since playing for
:58:40. > :58:45.Queens Park Rangers against Brighton on December 15, and typically he's
:58:46. > :58:49.got two in that game. Adnan Januzaj, now United need him to make the sort
:58:50. > :58:54.of impact he had when he first burst onto the first-team scene. Austin,
:58:55. > :59:00.Januzaj charging in, there is impact, the wrong kind. Free kick,
:59:01. > :59:03.Southampton. He withstood the Blind barge, only too happy to accept the
:59:04. > :59:09.of the recent Manchester United substitute. Tried to force away
:59:10. > :59:17.Paddy McNair. James Ward-Prowse with the ball into the box.
:59:18. > :59:24.Headed goalwards and then, Charlie Austin has scored for Southampton.
:59:25. > :59:29.There is the instant impact from the Saints new boy. You can just about
:59:30. > :59:33.hear Southampton cheers in that corner of the ground, but they are
:59:34. > :59:49.being drowned out by an angry Manchester United reaction.
:59:50. > :59:59.Austin with Debbie goal and it might be enough to win the game. -- a
:00:00. > :00:04.debut goal. It is time for Manchester United players to show
:00:05. > :00:09.whether they are mice or men. How does he feel? They have lost all the
:00:10. > :00:15.momentum they may have gained from Anfield. It is the case of not
:00:16. > :00:22.getting of two quick enough start. Caught out by a set piece. Ronald
:00:23. > :00:31.Koeman is the winning Dutchman at Old Trafford this afternoon. Brewing
:00:32. > :00:41.around the ground once more. -- booing around the ground. He will be
:00:42. > :00:45.hearing this long into the night. Are you concerned about how few
:00:46. > :00:52.opportunities your team had this afternoon? Disappointing but it is
:00:53. > :00:56.also how your opponent has been organised. It was very compact with
:00:57. > :01:04.five defenders. It is or is more difficult. As you know, you saw
:01:05. > :01:10.every time more nervous in the Manchester United team. Finally we
:01:11. > :01:17.scored out of the corner kick. Charlie Austin, what an amazing
:01:18. > :01:21.debut today for Southampton! Great win, great feeling. Fantastic.
:01:22. > :01:26.Luckily enough I found space in the box and the ball fell to me. I am
:01:27. > :01:32.delighted in making my debut at Old Trafford to come away with the three
:01:33. > :01:46.points. One or two booster in the game. What is your response? They
:01:47. > :01:53.are right. I cannot deny it. Also, for better or worse, you have to
:01:54. > :01:58.stick together. Louis van Gaal is having a staccato season. What is
:01:59. > :02:03.wrong with Manchester United? They seem to be getting results. Today it
:02:04. > :02:10.did not work for them. A lot of pressure at home. Only 17 goals
:02:11. > :02:15.scored. An incredible statistic for both teams. They are not scoring
:02:16. > :02:19.goals like Manchester United teams have done in the past. Getting
:02:20. > :02:27.people into the box when controlling football matches. They do not seem
:02:28. > :02:35.to be doing that. If you are not going to create many chances you
:02:36. > :02:42.have to be very strong defensively. Before you see the goal, they look
:02:43. > :02:47.like they are on post duty. They get their job and do it pretty well.
:02:48. > :02:54.Charlie Austin comes on. Cannot understand why that fella is
:02:55. > :02:59.standing. It looks like Charlie Austin has a free header. When you
:03:00. > :03:03.look at it closely, you see no one at the post. Anthony Martial does
:03:04. > :03:11.not know what he should be doing. Charlie Austin loses Paddy McNair.
:03:12. > :03:17.He has got on the wrong side of him. He is looking for him. He checks him
:03:18. > :03:23.out. Still watching the ball and he has a free header. That, for me, is
:03:24. > :03:34.all about the marking and being resolute. You can see it again. He
:03:35. > :03:38.just keeps going. Totally lost him. Charlie does well. He ducks in
:03:39. > :03:47.behind Foster if you need the ball to fall to anyone, it is Charlie. --
:03:48. > :03:52.he ducks in behind. I have never heard anyone in an interview say I
:03:53. > :03:55.am delighted for me. Going back to Louis van Gaal, there will obviously
:03:56. > :04:02.be speculation again as to whether he will stay in his job. He is
:04:03. > :04:05.having a tough time, no question. He realises that. He has been in the
:04:06. > :04:11.game a long time and has been successful revving he has been. He
:04:12. > :04:19.is finding it tough at Manchester United. -- wherever he has been.
:04:20. > :04:24.Given time, he will turn it around, I am sure he will. You can see the
:04:25. > :04:27.statistics. There is also a story in the Independent tomorrow morning,
:04:28. > :04:35.Sunday morning, basically saying that Jose Mourinho has written a six
:04:36. > :04:41.page love to United saying, I can change my style of play. He clearly
:04:42. > :04:47.wants the job. I do not like it. I do not like to see him writing a
:04:48. > :04:52.letter like that. He is Jose Mourinho. I cannot understand why he
:04:53. > :04:56.is doing now. That makes me feel weird because I love him.
:04:57. > :04:58.Watford welcomed Newcastle to Vicarage Road, with the home side
:04:59. > :05:00.looking for a return to form after defeat to Swansea
:05:01. > :05:15.Watford have only had six different Premier League scorers. The cross is
:05:16. > :05:23.high. Into the penalty area. Swansea City take the lead. Watson with a
:05:24. > :05:30.free kick. It is curling in, over the top. Still going. He hits the
:05:31. > :05:35.post. He has blasted that one wide on the volley. Alan Curtis
:05:36. > :05:37.celebrates. Swansea City has three points. They have beaten Watford by
:05:38. > :05:39.1-0. Your commentator for
:05:40. > :05:52.this one, John Motson. Jonjo Shelvey plays his second game
:05:53. > :05:56.for Newcastle. He is joined by the Senegalese player from Bordeaux.
:05:57. > :06:05.Steve McClaren goes three at the back. Jamaal Lascelles is making a
:06:06. > :06:14.Premier League debut. The new Watford signing is on the bench.
:06:15. > :06:16.There is a change at the back. But Watford strikeforce have both
:06:17. > :06:23.already scored against Newcastle this season. Watford are club on the
:06:24. > :06:32.up, provided they can stop this run of four consecutive defeats.
:06:33. > :06:40.The top scorer was in the middle. It came out. I thought, for a moment,
:06:41. > :06:46.he was going to add to his total. He was in a good position. The left
:06:47. > :06:51.wingback and himself in space for the final shot. -- found himself in
:06:52. > :07:12.space. This -- he cannot get his first
:07:13. > :07:18.Watford goal. How close has he come time and again, the ex-Tottenham
:07:19. > :07:27.man. Watford have lost five at home this season. Both Manchester clubs
:07:28. > :07:36.and Tottenham have one here. Saved by the feet of Heurelho Gomes.
:07:37. > :07:43.Otherwise Newcastle were in front. First-class reaction by the
:07:44. > :07:44.Brazilian goalkeeper. Newcastle can only be fairly pleased about the
:07:45. > :07:59.half-time situation. Ighalo for Watford and it is 1-0 to
:08:00. > :08:05.Watford in the first minute of the second half. Ighalo has scored his
:08:06. > :08:11.14th goal of the season. No surprise that it was made by his partner,
:08:12. > :08:18.Troy Deeney. Vicarage Road is suddenly full of noise. That is the
:08:19. > :08:25.ball. He is onside. He goes round Rob Elliott. Ighalo have done it
:08:26. > :08:34.again. Newcastle have their arms up. Ighalo is only concentrating on one
:08:35. > :08:38.thing. If ever there was a typical example of strikers combining, it
:08:39. > :08:43.was that. It handed Steve McClaren's team. He had only just come out. I'm
:08:44. > :08:54.not sure the Newcastle manager saw it. He does tend to, quite late.
:08:55. > :09:18.He was not the only player to come in. Back in again. It is there.
:09:19. > :09:24.Cathcart for Watford. 2-0. Suddenly this game has gone right away from
:09:25. > :09:29.Newcastle United and it has come all the way in towards Watford. It is
:09:30. > :09:34.really Deeney getting up there again. It comes off Ighalo and
:09:35. > :09:39.Cathcart buries that from eight yards out. What is getting a lot of
:09:40. > :09:44.players forward. They take their lead to 2-0, just as Newcastle were
:09:45. > :09:47.about to bring on two substitutions, which they will now do. A long old
:09:48. > :10:02.season for him and his pals. Forcing a corner for Newcastle. They
:10:03. > :10:03.need something to happen now. The supporters in the far corner of the
:10:04. > :10:22.ground. Did that creep in? Yes it did. On
:10:23. > :10:27.his first Premier League start, Jamaal Lascelles has got Newcastle
:10:28. > :10:32.back in the game following the corner forced by Sesotho. If you
:10:33. > :10:37.look at the number of yellow shirts, nobody gets near him. He guides the
:10:38. > :10:44.header past Heurelho Gomes and opens his Newcastle account. We are of
:10:45. > :10:45.course ten days away, or nearly, from the closing of the transfer
:10:46. > :11:02.window. Still Ighalo and still. He brings a
:11:03. > :11:10.save out of Rob Elliott at the near post. He did not have much to aim at
:11:11. > :11:12.in all honesty. Elliott had the near post covered. Time running out for
:11:13. > :11:44.Steve McClaren. Watford get a break. He had three to aim at in the
:11:45. > :11:51.centre. Why did he go on by himself? He knows he should have service one
:11:52. > :11:56.of three men in the middle. Could it be costly? The fourth official has
:11:57. > :12:02.come out with the board and signalled for minutes to be added at
:12:03. > :12:07.Vicarage Road. Will the ball run? It does. A corner. They are throwing
:12:08. > :12:21.everybody forward now in stoppage time. Jamaal Lascelles made a curved
:12:22. > :12:31.run. That was not just wide of the post of Heurelho Gomes. It has been
:12:32. > :12:36.necessary for the players. I believe a lot. I am comfortable with the
:12:37. > :12:42.formation but today it was important to do something different. With this
:12:43. > :12:50.system, the central midfielders, we played really well in the first
:12:51. > :12:56.half. I think it was good. I thought the lads played with confidence and
:12:57. > :12:59.fluency. The system worked. We created opportunities and chances.
:13:00. > :13:06.It is about both boxes. We need to get it right at both ends. If you do
:13:07. > :13:10.not, you lose. My eyes lit up. I managed to get good contact on it.
:13:11. > :13:20.It was a big relief. A bit disappointed. I lost a man for the
:13:21. > :13:25.corner to make it edgy for the last 20 minutes. They have struggled over
:13:26. > :13:34.recent weeks, Watford. An important victory for them. They keep the ball
:13:35. > :13:41.alive really well. Good stuff to keep the ball alive. Is he offside
:13:42. > :13:47.but it has not been given. After that, it is all brilliant stuff. A
:13:48. > :13:52.super touch, similar to Jamie Vardy. People underestimate that kind of
:13:53. > :13:55.touch. A good goal. They keep it alive again and Troy Deeney battling
:13:56. > :14:04.again for his mate. He does brilliantly the Cathcart. They are
:14:05. > :14:07.all turning their backs. Watford take a quick one. This is where it
:14:08. > :14:14.comes in the box. The goalkeeper does well to punch it away. They
:14:15. > :14:25.need to be more alive. When you look at the Brit cheer Coloccini, -- look
:14:26. > :14:30.at Coloccini, Cathcart just get something on it. An outstanding
:14:31. > :14:34.finish from a centre-back. Steve McClaren talking about another good
:14:35. > :14:38.performance but they are remaining in the bottom three. Are they
:14:39. > :14:43.underperforming? I do not know if they should be better. I have not
:14:44. > :14:50.taken too much notice of Newcastle. They will have funds to spend. Jonjo
:14:51. > :14:54.Shelvey was a good signing. Andros Townsend would be an outstanding
:14:55. > :14:57.signing. He could possibly help them win enough games to stay in the
:14:58. > :14:59.league. I think Mike Ashley will give them money.
:15:00. > :15:04.In a moment we'll see Aston Villa take the short trip to West Brom,
:15:05. > :15:05.but first, Sunderland welcomed Bournemouth.
:15:06. > :15:19.He first announced his burgeoning potential by scoring goals at
:15:20. > :15:23.Bournemouth aged 18, now Jermain Defoe offers the greatest threat to
:15:24. > :15:28.the visitors, who is manager Eddie Howe played alongside the youthful
:15:29. > :15:31.Defoe at Dean Court. Two changes for the hosts as Borini is recalled,
:15:32. > :15:35.Bournemouth are unchanged after Afobe came through his fitness
:15:36. > :15:39.checks to start the week after recording his first goal for his new
:15:40. > :15:42.club. He was already in double figures for the season, having
:15:43. > :15:50.netted ten times for Wolves before leaving Molineux. Manchester City,
:15:51. > :15:54.Liverpool, Manchester United and West Ham are Sunderland's next four
:15:55. > :16:00.opponents. It certainly accentuates the significance of a positive
:16:01. > :16:04.result for them today. Francis, was allowed to advance a little more
:16:05. > :16:09.comfortably than the Sunderland support is where hoping. That's a
:16:10. > :16:13.lovely ball towards Afobe. Great cross from you. Just enough
:16:14. > :16:14.uncertainty within the Sunderland ranks to cause a huge intake of
:16:15. > :16:39.breath around the Stadium Of Light. Caesar Stanislas in space am a --
:16:40. > :16:44.PCs Stanislas in space. The cross towards Afobe, it's gone in. It's a
:16:45. > :16:48.really brave header and to have generated the power took some doing
:16:49. > :17:02.as well. Mannone got a big hand on it but could not keep it out.
:17:03. > :17:08.It was super from Afobe, but the goalkeeper will feel he ought to
:17:09. > :17:12.have saved it. None of that is of any concern to the visitors, who are
:17:13. > :17:20.in front. Won back again by Bournemouth.
:17:21. > :17:26.Stanislas, on target, beaten away by Mannone. Stanislas had his mind made
:17:27. > :17:35.up for him, but he had to go for goal. It was on target.
:17:36. > :17:43.A good effort, beaten away by Mannone, with Stanislas calling for
:17:44. > :17:46.the reverse pass to him. Mannone managed to prevent Afobe from
:17:47. > :17:50.grabbing his second, and at the moment Bournemouth are finding life
:17:51. > :17:56.very, very comfortable here in the north-east. A real concern for Sam
:17:57. > :18:01.Allardyce, he knew the size of the task he was inheriting when he took
:18:02. > :18:10.over in October. Here is Lens, now Borini. And Van Aanholt, scores
:18:11. > :18:15.again. Well, Bournemouth made to pay for not putting Sunderland out of
:18:16. > :18:19.their misery, really. Completely outclassed in this first half. What
:18:20. > :18:27.a bonus that is in added time. And Van Aanholt, who scores in his
:18:28. > :18:31.fourth macro successive game, albeit two have been taken off him by the
:18:32. > :18:35.dubious goals panel, there will be no doubt about who has got this and
:18:36. > :18:41.most significantly of all it is an equaliser that Sunderland may not
:18:42. > :18:49.have merited but will be thrilled to have got. 1-1. He tries to win it
:18:50. > :18:51.back, he almost did, but his efforts have helped his side out. It's a
:18:52. > :19:04.corner. Cook conceding it. Easily dealt with by Surman and
:19:05. > :19:10.Cattermole. Johnson stays onside. Whips it in, it's a terrific save.
:19:11. > :19:18.Jones' header, good second ball in from Johnson. Good header from
:19:19. > :19:20.Jones. A decent stop from Boruc. Sunderland supporters just sensing
:19:21. > :19:26.that they can play their part in this game. Here is Johnson, another
:19:27. > :19:33.crowd in excess of 40000 and they are starting to roar their team.
:19:34. > :19:34.They have won a free kick in a dangerous area. Lens fouled by
:19:35. > :19:46.Smith. Lens goes towards M'Vila, a really
:19:47. > :19:49.good start by Boruc. Watmore tries to hit it and there were enough
:19:50. > :19:54.Bournemouth bodies to stop it going into the goal, but it was a good
:19:55. > :20:05.stop by Boruc and Sunderland are rapping on the door again.
:20:06. > :20:14.It's a good ball, Grabban, Mrs. Shouldn't have done. He knows it.
:20:15. > :20:18.What a let off for Sunderland, a game that Sunderland could not lose.
:20:19. > :20:24.That was the phrase used by Sam Allardyce. But maybe, they ought to
:20:25. > :20:29.have done. Grabban, a golden opportunity, took his time, put it
:20:30. > :20:33.beyond the post. It's an escape. It's the first point we have gained
:20:34. > :20:40.coming from behind and we have to respect that point and move on. We
:20:41. > :20:44.have won two, drawn one in the last four, so it shows a bit of recovery,
:20:45. > :20:49.but the table still says we have a long way to go, with 19 points after
:20:50. > :20:53.23 games. We have to pick more and more points up as quickly as we can.
:20:54. > :20:58.We dominated the early stages of the game, we were in total control. We
:20:59. > :21:02.lost our grip on it on the total dominance we had, we were still the
:21:03. > :21:06.dominant team throughout, we are disappointed we haven't won. Have
:21:07. > :21:12.you been in better form in your career, going forward? I don't think
:21:13. > :21:18.so, I'm glad I can help the team out with my goals. A goal as a goal, I
:21:19. > :21:23.don't care if I score or don't score but we got a point today and I'm
:21:24. > :21:28.happy with that. An amazing run he's on, he had two goals taken off, but
:21:29. > :21:33.why is he getting into this position so often? Great coaching from the
:21:34. > :21:38.manager! Ben Foster makes his first appearance in the Premier League

:22:23. > :22:27.the chase. Cleared up by Fletcher, only as far as Gala. -- Ghana.
:22:28. > :22:46.Promise from the bottom side. Now Hill, who certainly can be
:22:47. > :22:51.creative -- now Gil, who certainly can be creative. What an
:22:52. > :22:56.interception there. West Bromwich Albion's defence almost opened up
:22:57. > :23:04.there by Aston Villa. Gil was patient, took his time, floated the
:23:05. > :23:08.ball in towards Kozak. A terrible ball by Okore. Will it opened the
:23:09. > :23:17.door for West Brom? Sloppy play all round there.
:23:18. > :23:26.Gil continues his run, stretches the legs of Olsson. Olsson does just
:23:27. > :23:31.enough, but does he foul Ayew there? The tackle is on the opposite side,
:23:32. > :23:35.but it's been given as a corner. Let's have a look here. Also my
:23:36. > :23:40.thought initially had done well to win the ball, then he clatters into

:24:08. > :24:15.In towards Rondon and await bike Garner. Garner nearly knocks it
:24:16. > :24:19.towards the Villa goalkeeper. The referee is going to step in and it
:24:20. > :24:25.will be a yellow card for Micah Richards. It's for this challenge.
:24:26. > :24:41.The shot goes whistling past the post on the crossbar from Sessegnon.
:24:42. > :24:50.The ball was curling away from the goal. Villa are going to send
:24:51. > :24:53.Gestede on soon, they need to go for plan B because they are not really
:24:54. > :24:57.threatening the West Brom defence. Moving the ball around reasonably
:24:58. > :25:02.well but not creating anything. They are not putting the Albion defence
:25:03. > :25:05.under pressure, the physical presence of Gestede could do that.
:25:06. > :25:13.Westwood tease himself up. A comfortable save. A routine save for
:25:14. > :25:20.Ben Foster. Westwood, who equalised for Villa in this fixture a couple
:25:21. > :25:27.of seasons ago in a 2-2 draw. The home crowd trying to lift their
:25:28. > :25:33.team. Bacuna forced out wide. Richards staying strong under
:25:34. > :25:39.pressure. Gil will try Westwood again. A good ball. Delivery in
:25:40. > :25:44.towards Gestede. That is a threat in the middle that Villa haven't had.
:25:45. > :25:50.Until the presence of Rooney Gestede in the last couple of minutes asked

:26:04. > :26:06.start of play. Good ball. Picking out Ashley Westwood. Jordan Ayew in
:26:07. > :26:19.the centre. Ashley Westwood may fancy this. He gets a save from
:26:20. > :26:22.Foster. He scored in this fixture a couple of seasons ago, he fancied
:26:23. > :26:27.another one here. Inside the last ten minutes of the game. Just wide
:26:28. > :26:32.of the far post from Micah Richards. He scored a couple of goals this
:26:33. > :26:37.season, got up well to this one. Unable to guide the ball inside the
:26:38. > :26:44.far post. You have to wonder whether he put this much into room 101. We
:26:45. > :26:48.had to grind it out, work hard as a team. I said to them, eight games in
:26:49. > :26:52.four weeks for us, the last three away from home and people might be a
:26:53. > :26:55.little bit disappointed, but it's not just about one game, it's about
:26:56. > :27:00.the season, and at the moment we need points, we need every point to
:27:01. > :27:05.maintain our Premier League status and that is what we have done today.
:27:06. > :27:08.We have not won but we haven't lost the game. In the different situation
:27:09. > :27:13.it would have been a very good point away, winning, but then in our
:27:14. > :27:19.situation, in our current situation, we needed more points than that. We
:27:20. > :27:20.tried. We did our best. Especially on the second half. But they
:27:21. > :27:23.defended well as well. If they on the second half. But they
:27:24. > :27:27.defended well as well. If they were the highlights it wasn't the best of
:27:28. > :27:32.games. Villa seemed to edge it and probably should have had a penalty?
:27:33. > :27:38.I think so, Jordan Ayew squares up Olsson, gets lucky with the rebound
:27:39. > :27:40.there and it's a penalty. I think Olsson lunges in, doesn't play the
:27:41. > :27:45.ball. I can understand why the referee hasn't given it, from his
:27:46. > :27:50.position it's difficult to be 100% sure. A certain penalty. We haven't
:27:51. > :27:53.got much left for the other game, Bournemouth and Sunderland at the
:27:54. > :27:59.Stadium Of Light, a nasty tackle we should look at. Billy Jones here,
:28:00. > :28:03.you see it again, he has flown in on that one, out of control of his
:28:04. > :28:07.body, right over the ball. He has medium ligament strain there,
:28:08. > :28:12.another unfortunate injury are Bournemouth player. Really sad to
:28:13. > :28:15.see that one. A couple of drawers to finish, not really ideal results for
:28:16. > :28:22.those teams at this stage of the season. We are just about out of
:28:23. > :28:23.time. Ian and Tim, great to see you, before we say goodbye let's look at
:28:24. > :28:26.the Barclays Premier League table. Leicester top the pile
:28:27. > :28:28.ahead of Manchester City. Arsenal will leapfrog
:28:29. > :28:30.both of them with a win Aston Villa continue
:28:31. > :28:35.to prop up the division, with Sunderland and Newcastle
:28:36. > :28:37.alongside them in the bottom three. Fourth bottom Swansea travel
