:09:11. > :09:14.game it was this kind of all in that had them precious point at Arsenal.
:09:15. > :09:20.But not this time. Schmeichel is on it. And Leicester have won it. And
:09:21. > :09:26.the way they have done that feels significant. Leicester City are not

:09:33. > :09:39.League. 11 games to go. Leicester City one, Norwich City, nil.
:09:40. > :09:44.It was compact, they were hard to break down. The game plan was to try
:09:45. > :09:50.to keep it tight at the back, found it difficult today. We were not the
:09:51. > :09:53.best that we can be but the important thing is that we got that
:09:54. > :09:56.goal at the end and the three points. I do not think we deserved
:09:57. > :10:03.that. In the game I thought we had a lot of good chances. And better
:10:04. > :10:10.chances certainly. Defensively throughout the match we were solid.
:10:11. > :10:22.So I was disappointed. It is important for me as well. I want to
:10:23. > :10:25.help the team. And help with the goal and always I will help the
:10:26. > :10:29.team. Is their belief in the dressing room that you can win the
:10:30. > :10:36.Premier League? Every game we've got to play and do our best. We cannot
:10:37. > :10:41.look too far ahead, we just have got to keep it going and see what
:10:42. > :10:46.happens. You must believe! We are confident, we just want to do our
:10:47. > :10:52.job and see what happens. And after the game I spoke to Claudio Ranieri.
:10:53. > :11:01.Not always pretty today but it was a useful victory. It was a difficult
:11:02. > :11:06.match. We knew that. I talk to the players today. Norwich play well,
:11:07. > :11:13.they close well. This victory is very important for us. After the
:11:14. > :11:17.Arsenal defeat. You made important substitutions, you must be
:11:18. > :11:22.delighted, especially with Ulloa coming on and scoring the winning
:11:23. > :11:33.goal so late. Yes, we wanted to try to go around the defensive block of
:11:34. > :11:40.Norwich. And for this reason I changed, Albrighton on the right and
:11:41. > :11:45.then a good goal-scorer like Ulloa. That was a good solution. But I
:11:46. > :11:50.think the more important conclusion is that my players belief until the
:11:51. > :11:57.end. For me that is very important. You have a two-week break, playing a
:11:58. > :12:00.lot less games than the other sides in the title race, is that an
:12:01. > :12:05.advantage or is it sometimes difficult when you have a big break?
:12:06. > :12:10.Yes, for this reason I was worried about this match because after 50
:12:11. > :12:16.days you do not know your players, maybe they could lose their rhythm
:12:17. > :12:22.and tempo of the matches. But now I'm very relaxed. And I start to
:12:23. > :12:28.think about the next match against West Brom. It will be another tough
:12:29. > :12:34.match. You always cautious talking about the title, but that belief,
:12:35. > :12:40.does that extent through to the possibility of winning the
:12:41. > :12:44.championship? I do not know. If the other teams start to win, they can
:12:45. > :12:49.win all the matches. We had to fight today as well. The next match is
:12:50. > :12:56.always the last match, that is mentality. Congratulations, another
:12:57. > :13:04.great fit treat, keep it going. There is an old adage, sometimes you
:13:05. > :13:09.have got to win, playing badly. They were so strong defensively, Jerome
:13:10. > :13:12.had a good chance to score for Norwich but they denied Norwich and
:13:13. > :13:16.Norwich almost frustrated them into the draw but they did keep going,
:13:17. > :13:20.what ever so hard. They will find throughout the running teams will
:13:21. > :13:23.set up differently against because they respect them and they have
:13:24. > :13:28.earned the right for teams to defend against them. Where there is a will
:13:29. > :13:33.there is a way. They lost some of the rhythm in their play, Mahrez
:13:34. > :13:36.especially in the early stages of the game, just did not seem to be
:13:37. > :13:41.with that for some reason. I think there is a nervousness now for this
:13:42. > :13:46.team. They realise how big it can be. Look at him losing the ball
:13:47. > :13:51.there. This is a past to Jamie Vardy. It just was not working for
:13:52. > :13:59.him. Everything seemed to be breaking down. This was a great
:14:00. > :14:04.pass. And Norwich, I was encouraged by their performance, we defended
:14:05. > :14:08.well, made it difficult. As Barnier said, they could not get through
:14:09. > :14:11.them so they need to do something. Look at all the players they have
:14:12. > :14:17.got back there. That will be the problem for them. I thought the
:14:18. > :14:20.manager was brilliant. The team has been almost running wild but now he
:14:21. > :14:25.needs to make a key decision, thinking about what he needs to do,
:14:26. > :14:30.Ulloa comes on, Mahrez goes into the central position, now running out
:14:31. > :14:34.much more poised in this movement. Waiting for the run to come from
:14:35. > :14:38.Albrighton. And what about this. You had to be peeled off the ceiling
:14:39. > :14:43.when this went in! Do not underestimate Jamie Vardy. For me it
:14:44. > :14:49.is an assist, a little bit on it. And they score, perfect.
:14:50. > :14:55.Beautifully done. It's getting conceivable? Well, it is. They have
:14:56. > :14:58.only conceded four goals in their last nine games. They are solid
:14:59. > :15:02.defensively. They are always going to pose a threat with the pace and
:15:03. > :15:07.the quality that they have going forwards. They are going to have to
:15:08. > :15:09.change their gameplan slightly because teams will defend against
:15:10. > :15:14.them in a different way. They have to work out how to get down the
:15:15. > :15:18.sides. That change, as Martin picked out, proves they have the
:15:19. > :15:21.capabilities of doing that. No-one points clear of Manchester City.
:15:22. > :15:25.They can be 12 points before Manchester City blame play again.
:15:26. > :15:28.Remarkable. They need to build on that. The Champions League is
:15:29. > :15:33.looking good. Believe it. It's tricky when you are playing against
:15:34. > :15:38.Manchester City and Arsenal, you have immediate people who want to
:15:39. > :15:42.win it. When you are playing against Norwich it's different task. They
:15:43. > :15:46.did it well today. It's Leicester, it's supposed to be tricky. Norwich,
:15:47. > :15:54.reason for concern? Absolutely it is. 14 Premier League away games
:15:55. > :15:55.without keeping a clean sheet. They have a really desperate fight on

:24:48. > :24:52.getting something from a game that looked hopelessly lost after half an
:24:53. > :24:57.hour. Hadn't scored from free play all season, now has two. That was a

:26:17. > :26:22.would have been devastated if we hadn't won that game today. People
:26:23. > :26:29.can see when they play together what a handful they are. We haven't had
:26:30. > :26:34.that for half a season. If you take Kane and Vardy out that is how big a
:26:35. > :26:40.gap it is to play without Saido in this team. I thought those two were
:26:41. > :26:44.a real handful. I put the past behind me. I'm look forward. I
:26:45. > :26:47.missed a lot of football. I'm enjoying being back. I was out there
:26:48. > :26:52.enjoying myself. Great we got the three points. Credit to them to come
:26:53. > :26:57.out second-half and give it a go. For a couple of calls who knows.
:26:58. > :27:02.Should have had had a penalty 3-1 that would have given us an earlier
:27:03. > :27:08.goal than we got. A blatant penalty I could see it where I was. The
:27:09. > :27:11.referee was distracted. He was being looking at Ledley the linesman
:27:12. > :27:17.should have seen it. He was going to head it in. He barged him in the
:27:18. > :27:24.back. Got another penalty. Let had run across him. The guy hook his
:27:25. > :27:27.legs. You were prowling that touchline your wife will tick you
:27:28. > :27:32.off you were too emotional down there, Tony Pulis? She will be happy
:27:33. > :27:40.when it's all over, I can retire and put my slippers on. No, she won't!
:27:41. > :27:45.Not at all. Thoroughly entertaining fair, really? Tony Pulis unleashed
:27:46. > :27:50.the front three in a kind of almost gay abandon? Clearly, he was
:27:51. > :27:54.delighted to have Berahino back. The front three worked together. You got
:27:55. > :27:57.a sense they were told to play with freedom and for a good hour they did
:27:58. > :28:02.that. They created a lot of chances. We will pick it up for the third
:28:03. > :28:05.goal. Fantastic team work by these three. The move am is great. From
:28:06. > :28:11.this angle we can see the quality of the ball from Sessegnon. That is an
:28:12. > :28:16.exceptionally well weighed pass and a tremendous finish. When we see it
:28:17. > :28:20.from the other angle, you see the movement and the link between the
:28:21. > :28:24.front three. You see them. The ball into Rondon is good. His first
:28:25. > :28:28.thought is to play it wide. It's the movement afterwards. He fills in the
:28:29. > :28:32.space with Delaney came out of. That forces Dann over. . He has to come
:28:33. > :28:38.over a little bit. In turn, that is a trigger for Berahino, who then
:28:39. > :28:41.gets in behind, the weight of the pass is perfect. That finish is
:28:42. > :28:45.absolutely brilliant. This happened for most of the game, certainly
:28:46. > :28:50.until West Brom tried to hold on to their lead. The idea that these
:28:51. > :28:53.players, three passes and they are through the Palace defence.
:28:54. > :28:56.Berahino, look at the quality on that? He misses by six inches. They
:28:57. > :28:56.worked that? He misses by six inches. They
:28:57. > :29:12.is forward. Rondon drops run into the corner. Keeps the ball.
:29:13. > :29:25.Slows the game down and finds run into the corner. Keeps the ball.
:29:26. > :29:28.here. Sessegnon looks force Berahino. Goes for the one-two. This
:29:29. > :29:33.finishes off with a decent effort as well.
:29:34. > :29:40.Palace came right back into it. Alan Pardew complaining about a couple of
:29:41. > :29:44.positions and he might have a Pardew complaining about a couple of
:29:45. > :29:50.Bolasie came off the bench and there were totally different team, Palace.
:29:51. > :29:55.Scott Dann just bundled. McCauley takes him out, you know his record
:29:56. > :30:03.takes him out. No way he can score takes him out. No way he can score
:30:04. > :30:09.this one, Alessi we mentioned, really a bag of tricks. It should've
:30:10. > :30:16.been penalty again. Both of these at 3-1. They got back into the game but
:30:17. > :30:19.been penalty again. Both of these at it should have been a penalty. But a
:30:20. > :30:25.good comeback. Now ten games without a league win which is a concern.
:30:26. > :30:30.Alessi coming back is a big plus and Connor Wickham, a spectacular goal.
:30:31. > :30:37.Bolasie brings so much energy to the team. He came on and barefaced
:30:38. > :30:40.Adebayor. Adebayor, you did not see for the first 45 minutes at all. His
:30:41. > :30:46.workrate is not comparable to Bolasie. He brings that energy to
:30:47. > :30:50.Crystal Palace. But they cannot defend the way they did in the first
:30:51. > :30:52.half, they were static and the temple was poor. A big difference in
:30:53. > :30:53.the second. The last time Southampton's Fraser
:30:54. > :30:55.Forster conceded a goal He faced the striker again,
:30:56. > :31:00.looking to secure a seventh straight clean sheet, while Chelsea looked
:31:01. > :31:13.to remain unbeaten in the league Both sides very much in form.
:31:14. > :31:19.Southampton unbeaten in six, of which they have won five, Chelsea
:31:20. > :31:25.unbeaten in ten. The two Dutch managers last met at Cheddar 12
:31:26. > :31:32.years ago. -- last met each other. Charlie Austin makes his first start
:31:33. > :31:37.for Southampton. Fraser Forster just 34 minutes away from beating the
:31:38. > :31:44.longest unbeaten run of any Southampton goalkeeper. Set by Paul
:31:45. > :31:49.Jones at 666 minutes. Chelsea are unchanged for the third game
:31:50. > :32:00.running. 300 days now since Eden Hazard that scored a Premier League
:32:01. > :32:08.goal. Chased by Cedric. Who are -- Lewis
:32:09. > :32:16.Libby down that side. Davis in support. A test for Azpilicueta,
:32:17. > :32:29.Charlie Austin might behind it. It is a corner. The corner went
:32:30. > :32:38.Southampton's way. Davis to take this. Courtois would've there. Diego
:32:39. > :32:45.Costa put it behind. Hooked it into words the near post. Whether it was
:32:46. > :32:50.an attempt to score, I'm not sure. Good punch, both fists on that. Van
:32:51. > :32:55.Dijk has got their ahead of Courtois. A great chance! Got
:32:56. > :33:01.himself above Courtois. A great chance! Got
:33:02. > :33:14.not finish. Shane Long knows he could have put Southampton in front.
:33:15. > :33:23.Ronald Koeman in 1988 beat Benfica. The manager that day was Guus
:33:24. > :33:37.Hiddink. Eden Hazard put under pressure, coped with it well. Oscar.
:33:38. > :33:49.Diego Costa, discarded his mask. Oscar. The first will save Forster
:33:50. > :33:58.has had to make. And after that long unbeaten run, would have been
:33:59. > :34:05.disappointed to be even at that. Given away by Fabregas. Often.
:34:06. > :34:15.Davis. Here is often. Room to turn and shoot. Courtois was confident
:34:16. > :34:21.that that was going wide, he did not try to save it. Charlie Austin just
:34:22. > :34:25.pulled it a bit too much. Fraser Forster has broken a Southampton
:34:26. > :34:35.club record, 34 minutes in this game, 667 minutes of league football
:34:36. > :34:44.since he last conceded a goal. A mistake, Shane Long away. Courtois
:34:45. > :34:49.is there, great finish. Shane Long clips Southampton in front. A
:34:50. > :34:56.horrible error from Barbara Rehman and Shane Long makes him pay. The
:34:57. > :35:01.header straight to Shane Long. Still had a lot to do. Courtois rushing
:35:02. > :35:06.from the goal to make it difficult. A lovely finish. Delightfully done.
:35:07. > :35:11.The quality of that A lovely finish. Delightfully done.
:35:12. > :35:22.Shane Long is no consolation and no excuse for the mistake by Bubba
:35:23. > :35:36.Rehman. Azpilicueta. Eden Hazard, taking on
:35:37. > :35:48.Targett. Chelsea corner. Seven minutes of the second half played.
:35:49. > :35:54.It hit Ivanovic. And it goes wide. John Obi Mikel, he's good at things
:35:55. > :35:59.but goal-scoring not one of those things. Only scored six times in his
:36:00. > :36:22.entire Chelsea career. Diego Costa with a chance. Over the
:36:23. > :36:26.top of Fabregas. Flipped it over the top of the bar, really good ball in.
:36:27. > :36:33.It would have been a brilliant top of the bar, really good ball in.
:36:34. > :36:42.finish but an awkward height. Davis for Southampton.
:36:43. > :36:51.Looking for Charlie Austin. First touch was good. K Hill slid in, a
:36:52. > :36:59.big appeal from Charlie Austin and the Southampton fans. Waved away by
:37:00. > :37:10.Martin Atkinson. I think the referee probably call that right.
:37:11. > :37:25.Pele, Martin Atkinson said play on. Eden Hazard for Chelsea. Through two
:37:26. > :37:35.Diego Costa. Bertrand was there. Kept it in play. Fabregas. Fabregas
:37:36. > :37:39.equalises for Chelsea! Misjudge my the Southampton goalkeeper Fraser
:37:40. > :37:46.Forster whose long unbeaten sequence comes to an end. Fabregas with the
:37:47. > :37:53.goal. 1-1 at St Mary 's. Captain by Diego Costa. That is cross from
:37:54. > :38:02.Fabregas that ends up curling into the corner of the Southampton that.
:38:03. > :38:07.Southampton one, Chelsea one, Forster will be disappointed with
:38:08. > :38:16.that. The goal came from a Chelsea breakaway. When the flag went up for
:38:17. > :38:21.that Kennedy challenged. The referee decided to play on, Martin Atkinson,
:38:22. > :38:32.within seconds Fabregas had equalised.
:38:33. > :38:44.Willian to Fabregas. Oscar for Chelsea. Willian for Chelsea.
:38:45. > :38:48.Willian, dangerous. So close! So close from Willian. The man who was
:38:49. > :38:51.Willian, dangerous. So close! So unquestionably the Player of the
:38:52. > :39:02.Season for Chelsea, nearly got them in front. Fabregas. Diego Costa.
:39:03. > :39:09.Fabregas. Willian. Good football. Fabregas. Blocked by Romeu. Chelsea
:39:10. > :39:16.take the corner. Southampton hanging on.
:39:17. > :39:21.Two minutes of normal time to go. Willian with this corner kick.
:39:22. > :39:26.Ivanovic! Brilliant goal, great header from Ivanovic! A wonderful
:39:27. > :39:31.header. Fraser Forster got a hand to it but just too much power.
:39:32. > :39:39.Southampton have barely any time to recover. A great header. Look at the
:39:40. > :39:45.power that he generates. Even Fraser Forster in such great form, could
:39:46. > :39:51.not keep it out. Southampton one, Chelsea, two goals. The Chelsea
:39:52. > :39:56.equalising goal was a turning point in the match. Yes. I do not know
:39:57. > :40:02.what happened in that situation. Maybe it was a fault against
:40:03. > :40:08.Southampton. As a referee you can give advantage, if not then if it is
:40:09. > :40:15.the fault of Chelsea, the linesman is closer in that situation than the
:40:16. > :40:22.referee. But finally OK it ended in a draw. Unlucky moment. I have not
:40:23. > :40:29.seen it to be honest, if I see it I will give my fair judgment. The
:40:30. > :40:32.referee decides yes I know and generally
:40:33. > :40:38.referee decides yes I know and the referee lets the game go on when
:40:39. > :40:41.normally in other countries we blow the whistle. We
:40:42. > :40:45.normally in other countries we blow these three points. I think we
:40:46. > :40:52.controlled the game, they were difficult to defend against. They
:40:53. > :40:57.play well on the counterattack. We scored the goals and I think we
:40:58. > :41:09.deserved this, big three points us. The team did well second half.
:41:10. > :41:13.organised. That first back-to-back league win
:41:14. > :41:16.for Chelsea this season, quite extraordinary as we're close to
:41:17. > :41:20.March. But it took a while to work out the Southampton tactics. They
:41:21. > :41:24.have been playing with his back three since the turn of the year and
:41:25. > :41:30.it calls Chelsea are in the first 30 minutes in particular. From my point
:41:31. > :41:38.of view, they have this defensive solidity but also you see here
:41:39. > :41:42.Bertrand playing left side and half even though he is full-back. They
:41:43. > :41:46.looked comfortable. Like they knew where the space was. Cedric and
:41:47. > :41:49.Targett high up the pitch where the space was. Cedric and
:41:50. > :41:53.the game. A fantastic ball in, he where the space was. Cedric and
:41:54. > :41:55.has the time to play. Willian and Bubba Rehman not in a
:41:56. > :42:01.has the time to play. Willian and But the player on the ball there
:42:02. > :42:06.picks up some space. It is Clasie. And loads of time to
:42:07. > :42:12.picks up some space. It is Clasie. Cedric. Targett was doing
:42:13. > :42:16.picks up some space. It is Clasie. sorted out, but it is to push
:42:17. > :42:19.Southampton back and to dominate the game. As the game developed Chelsea
:42:20. > :42:24.looked like the stronger side. And they just kept pushing and pushing.
:42:25. > :42:29.An excellent chance there from an Eden Hazard cross. During the early
:42:30. > :42:36.part of the game, Targett was further afield. He was an outlet.
:42:37. > :42:41.But so far back, Southampton just cannot get out and Chelsea wore them
:42:42. > :42:45.down. They kept plugging away. Their formation and their system took over
:42:46. > :42:50.and they won the game. A couple of controversial moments to look at.
:42:51. > :42:53.Starting with the possible penalty kick for Southampton when Shane Long
:42:54. > :43:00.went through. I feel for Ronald Koeman. It was a ball over the top.
:43:01. > :43:04.K Hill seemed to be undone by the ball. Often goes through. What
:43:05. > :43:11.happens, K Hill commits and does not get there. Just outside the box but
:43:12. > :43:17.later, hits his hand. So I feel they are unlucky there. He just gets
:43:18. > :43:23.there, often lifts it away from him. That is a foul, hitting his arm as
:43:24. > :43:28.well. Should have been a penalty. Interesting. And this is
:43:29. > :43:34.interesting. I am confused with this, a coming together between
:43:35. > :43:39.Cedric and Kennedy. There is a barge and kick out by Kennedy. The
:43:40. > :43:43.assistant referee starts with a flag in his left hand, then moves it to
:43:44. > :43:48.his right to suggest a foul for Southampton. Martin Atkinson chooses
:43:49. > :43:52.to overrule that and in the next passage of play, Chelsea at the
:43:53. > :43:58.other end, you go Costa gets the ball in, Fabregas with a
:43:59. > :44:02.speculative, very good cross. And confusion between the goalkeeper and
:44:03. > :44:08.Eden Hazard. Chelsea profited from that. Southampton will feel
:44:09. > :44:11.aggrieved. Chelsea cashed in on that.
:44:12. > :44:14.Sam Allardyce returned to Upton Park for the first time since leaving
:44:15. > :44:17.West Ham last summer with renewed hope of keeping Sunderland up.
:44:18. > :44:23.Slaven Bilic could do with a victory after seeing his side slip
:44:24. > :44:29.COMMENTATOR: A first and final return to Upton Park for Sam
:44:30. > :44:33.Allardyce from the warmth of a Dubai training break to the chill air of
:44:34. > :44:38.the East End. A recent revival mean Sunderland could be out of the
:44:39. > :44:45.bottom three tonight. Ed under Bilic the hammers are unbeaten at home
:44:46. > :44:47.since August. Emenike scored two goals last weekend in the FA Cup.
:44:48. > :45:02.Sunderland are unchanged. Loose from Adrian. He will be
:45:03. > :45:05.grateful that Collins showed a tidy touch to get away from Khazri.
:45:06. > :45:12.Distribution not quite so clever though. Antonio, muscled out of. It
:45:13. > :45:19.it's through. The flag has gone up straightaway. Jermaine Defoe almost
:45:20. > :45:23.in there for Sunderland. Lackadaisical from West Ham.
:45:24. > :45:27.Sunderland quick to respond. A tight call there going against Jermaine
:45:28. > :45:35.Defoe. He's certainly given Sunderland a chance of getting out
:45:36. > :45:39.of the trouble they are in. An even record for Sam Allardyce sees sides,
:45:40. > :45:44.a couple of wins, couple of draws, couple of defeats. Play on.
:45:45. > :45:51.Cresswell behind if required. The he may fancy this. Shooting chance for
:45:52. > :45:55.Noble! Smacked against the bar and Emenike unable to get the header in
:45:56. > :46:07.on target. First really decent effort on goal in the match. Good
:46:08. > :46:15.play by Lanzini, teeing it up for Mark Noble. Did it hit the crossbar?
:46:16. > :46:25.What a save. Windy conditions for the players today. Collins, back to
:46:26. > :46:31.his goalkeeper. Khazri's right in on him here. Almost getting the better
:46:32. > :46:34.of Adrian, the West Ham goalkeeper. West Ham creating their own problem
:46:35. > :46:39.there. In Adrian in trying to control the ball and clear it,
:46:40. > :46:44.closed down here by Khazri, who made the challenge on him. An
:46:45. > :46:54.unexpectedly anxious moment for Slaven Bilic and the crowd. Into the
:46:55. > :47:04.head of Ogbonna. Stretching for that. Mark Noble questioning the
:47:05. > :47:10.decision. Khazri, the man with the ball at his feet. Off the crossbar.
:47:11. > :47:14.Having scored against Manchester United, Khazri almost had another
:47:15. > :47:20.one here. Wicked dip carrying it over the top of Adrian. Not quite
:47:21. > :47:27.underneath the bar. Sir Geoff Hurst among those watching the match
:47:28. > :47:32.today. He once scored six goals here in an 8-0 over Sunderland. It's West
:47:33. > :47:41.Ham's highest record in the top-flight. Away from van Aanholt.
:47:42. > :47:47.Oh, a goal. Michail Antonio. It came from nothing on the far side. The
:47:48. > :47:52.ball almost going out of play. Michail Antonio making the most of
:47:53. > :47:59.it. Getting the better of Patrick van Aanholt. Finding that bottom
:48:00. > :48:07.corner. Van Aanholt, with a poor ball forward. My goodness me, was he
:48:08. > :48:11.made to pay for it. The Michail Antonio skipping away from two and a
:48:12. > :48:13.last-ditch challenge, cutting inside van Aanholt. The ball curling into
:48:14. > :48:25.the far bottom corner. Yedlin well forward. Cresswell
:48:26. > :48:33.cutting it out. It's with Payet. That will get the crowd on their
:48:34. > :48:39.seats. Kone, quick to step in. In doing so concedes a corner kick.
:48:40. > :48:48.Plenty for Payet to aim at. Lanzini, get a better angle for the delivery
:48:49. > :48:55.here. Comfortably away. Ant an. -- Antonio. Decent first time shot
:48:56. > :48:59.bringing the save from Vito Mannone. It needed saving as well. Vito
:49:00. > :49:17.Mannone down quickly. Won a lot of the ball in the middle
:49:18. > :49:20.of the field today. Cattermole looking for Jermaine Defoe. He's
:49:21. > :49:25.found him. First good chance of the game for Jermaine Defoe. He got in
:49:26. > :49:33.behind James Collins there and first time it was hooked wide of the goal.
:49:34. > :49:41.Defoe had four-and-a-half years at West Ham when he moved on to White
:49:42. > :49:45.Hart Lane. Khazri, running at Byram. The flag has gone up. I thought for
:49:46. > :49:50.a moment it was going to stay down. It was little late in going up on
:49:51. > :49:53.the far side. Twice, in the space of two early second-half minutes,
:49:54. > :49:58.Jermaine Defoe with a clear sighting of goal. This time, just called
:49:59. > :50:03.offside. Very close call against Defoe. I wonder what time the alarm
:50:04. > :50:08.went off for some of those supporters this morning before
:50:09. > :50:18.making the journey down to London? For a lunchtime start. Kirchhoff.
:50:19. > :50:23.Good running, in behind Victor Moses. Great chance. Superb save.
:50:24. > :50:26.Rodwell, it took a deflection. He handled the ball. When the ball came
:50:27. > :50:31.out it struck handled the ball. When the ball came
:50:32. > :50:34.won't count. Sam Allardyce's team are not level. He brings the save.
:50:35. > :50:38.won't count. Sam Allardyce's team That is where it struck him on the
:50:39. > :50:43.arm. Close, but not close enough for Sam Allardyce and for Sunderland.
:50:44. > :50:46.Hasn't scored in the league this season, Jack Rodwell, both of the
:50:47. > :50:50.goals he scored came against Exeter at the League Cup, right at the
:50:51. > :51:00.start of the campaign. It will be West Ham's ball.
:51:01. > :51:12.Beyond the far-post. The header down. Carroll smacking the crossbar.
:51:13. > :51:17.So close to a second West Ham goal. Sunderland's bar take as whack for
:51:18. > :51:20.the second time in the game. The volley from Andy Carroll struck. It
:51:21. > :51:31.may not be the return that he was hoping for today. Possibly onwards
:51:32. > :51:34.and upwards for West Ham. Payet did well there to force Khazri off
:51:35. > :51:42.balance. Down goes Cresswell. Away comes kir. It's nor Jack Rodwell,
:51:43. > :51:46.players to left and right. Khazri away on that far right hand side.
:51:47. > :51:52.Rodwell with a chance. Oh, he's missed. A decisive late block.

:00:33. > :00:36.made over the tannoy that there was a fire and everyone should leave the
:00:37. > :00:41.stadium. The announcement greeted with popular acclaim initially but
:00:42. > :00:50.it was a false alarm. Shaqiri. Lovely ball back to Barnsley. Is it
:00:51. > :01:00.a penalty? It is. Westwood the guilty party. A glorious pass from
:01:01. > :01:07.Shaqiri. Westwood caught out by the run of the full-back.
:01:08. > :01:20.I think there was enough to award a penalty. Here is Arnautovic. Villa
:01:21. > :01:25.will be in trouble if he scores. Emphatic finish from the Austrian.
:01:26. > :01:32.Amazing how many penalty kicks are driven directly into the middle of
:01:33. > :01:38.the goal. What can Aston Villa do, even a draw today would hardly have
:01:39. > :01:52.been enough. Now they are behind. Bardsley. Here is Shaqiri.
:01:53. > :02:00.That might threaten a goal. Over the line! And it stands! Arnautovic has
:02:01. > :02:06.made it 2- nil. The first from the penalty, the second from that
:02:07. > :02:12.scramble on the far post. Mark Bunn already committed over the goal
:02:13. > :02:21.line. 56 minutes gone and Stoke City scored twice since half-time. Villa
:02:22. > :02:29.are beaten again. Or so it seems. Arnautovic on the far post, head up
:02:30. > :02:38.and a chest in. Hardly well defended by Aston Villa. Look at that.
:02:39. > :02:43.A foot from the goal line, you can afford the time to chest that over
:02:44. > :03:07.the line. Leandro Bacuna. Fiennes Sinclair.

:04:23. > :04:25.Sinclair. Valves. Cissokho, Arnautovic in the end. So close to a
:04:26. > :04:31.cross. Looks like handball, not given, Leandro Bacuna scores. Hit
:04:32. > :04:38.Sidlow. The ball bounced up, seemed to hit the hand of Rudi Gestede.
:04:39. > :04:42.Sidlow. The ball bounced up, seemed Bacuna with the finish so there is
:04:43. > :04:45.hope for Aston Villa with 12 minutes left. Certainly had the hand of the
:04:46. > :04:50.striker. left. Certainly had the hand of the
:04:51. > :04:57.advantage twice. Bacuna with a good finish. And hope for the away side.
:04:58. > :04:59.advantage twice. Bacuna with a good Villa fans delirious with an away
:05:00. > :05:08.goal. It happens so rarely for Villa fans delirious with an away
:05:09. > :05:17.team this season. That is good play. Shaqiri. Almost an own goal! Okore.
:05:18. > :05:24.Good save by Mark one. The second time in the game we have almost had
:05:25. > :05:26.an own goal. What struck me watching was the
:05:27. > :05:32.persistent threat from the flanks. Shaqiri on the right and Arnautovic
:05:33. > :05:36.on the left. We have good ability in those areas, key areas of the field.
:05:37. > :05:44.It made a difference in the final third. And the opposition of course,
:05:45. > :05:51.guilty at times of just keeping possession. Just taking the easy
:05:52. > :05:58.option. Today they put in quality balls. It is always going to be
:05:59. > :06:03.difficult against Aston Villa. They need to win games. And they have
:06:04. > :06:08.nothing to lose. They will try to put everything on it and they are a
:06:09. > :06:13.good team. But we did our job. The Villa supporters kept behind the
:06:14. > :06:18.side throughout. We felt that today once again, that they were behind
:06:19. > :06:23.the team. The first 45 minutes, we look like the team and that was not
:06:24. > :06:29.the case the week before against Liverpool. When we showed the
:06:30. > :06:34.spirit, they are behind us. But this is the minimum that we can do. Then
:06:35. > :06:41.to win football you also need talent and fighting spirit, but unique
:06:42. > :06:45.quality and probably as a team or as individuals, we have not enough
:06:46. > :06:50.quality probably. Strong words. We'll come to that in
:06:51. > :06:54.a moment. Not for the first time this season, a lot of which has
:06:55. > :07:03.caught our eye. Terrific performance. -- Arnautovic. The
:07:04. > :07:07.strength that he has, two goals today, ten this year. He has been a
:07:08. > :07:13.revelation for them. He gets the ball and make things happen. Always
:07:14. > :07:19.making the yards when he gets it. This is a new Stoke team,
:07:20. > :07:23.rebalanced, good ball into the box. He shows that he wants to work hard
:07:24. > :07:27.for the team. He wants to fight people as well. The nearest thing
:07:28. > :07:30.you have got to my cues in the team at the moment. Mark will enjoy that
:07:31. > :07:35.physicality that he has. And he at the moment. Mark will enjoy that
:07:36. > :07:42.an arrogance as well, wants to put his foot in it. Drops from one foot
:07:43. > :07:49.to the other. Nice little path. A definite penalty, by the way.
:07:50. > :07:53.Westwood bringing down Bardsley. And the first one up there to take it.
:07:54. > :07:57.No problem, really confident. Goes from strength to strength. This is
:07:58. > :08:02.his progression now, playing in a wide position but thinking about
:08:03. > :08:05.getting central. He knows that he can score the goals in there. Just
:08:06. > :08:12.being nice and patient. Good build-up. Gets the cross in for him.
:08:13. > :08:17.This is about strength. Lescott in front of him here for. Catch of the
:08:18. > :08:28.day, goalkeeper. That is about strength. Good performance from
:08:29. > :08:33.Stoke. Terrific effort from Arnautovic. Aston Villa, Remi Garde
:08:34. > :08:40.saying that you need talent and they do not have that or the commitment
:08:41. > :08:43.or attitude. That is a major problem as the manager is saying that, how
:08:44. > :08:48.will he get a response from the players. And he said they do not
:08:49. > :08:51.have the quality either so what chance to be God. For Aston Villa,
:08:52. > :08:57.they just look like they are defeated. The minimum you can expect
:08:58. > :09:02.is a togetherness and a siege mentality and just say if we go
:09:03. > :09:05.down, we go down fighting. They do not seem to be able to do that, they
