:00:07. > :00:10.Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful.
:00:11. > :00:15.COMMENTATOR: Goals came and went. And, Keegan.
:00:16. > :00:19.Look at his face! Just look at his face!
:00:20. > :00:21.Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:22. > :00:25.What a goal. Oh, what a goal.
:00:26. > :00:43.It's been a spectacular day of action in the
:00:44. > :00:57.After Black Friday, we've had a goal-den Saturday.
:00:58. > :01:17.Alan Shearer and Danny Murphy have much to discuss.
:01:18. > :01:20.We start at the King Power Stadium, where Leicester's Jamie Vardy was
:01:21. > :01:23.looking to score for the 11th game in
:01:24. > :01:26.a row to beat Ruud Van Nistelrooy's all-time Premier League record.
:01:27. > :01:31.the club Van Nistelrooy represented - Manchester United.
:01:32. > :01:45.When Wayne Rooney was 17, he was becoming England's youngest ever
:01:46. > :01:49.scorer. When Jamie Vardy was 17, he was playing the whip asleep and
:01:50. > :01:57.dreaming of his big move the Stocksbridge Park Steels. Some make
:01:58. > :02:00.it early, some make it late. If he scores again today, it will be
:02:01. > :02:05.history for him and hope perhaps every Recreation Ground order, not
:02:06. > :02:09.so much that they will become a superstar but that one day they may
:02:10. > :02:15.play against one. Okazaki for Leonardo Ulloa is their only change.
:02:16. > :02:19.Rooney has a landmark of his own, one more United goal would put him
:02:20. > :02:26.second in their all-time scoring list. They go with a back three
:02:27. > :02:31.Herrera, Lingard are injured. The 22 Premier League games that have
:02:32. > :02:36.preceded this weekend, nobody has taken more points that Wood that
:02:37. > :02:38.Leicester City and they have taken more points than Newcastle,
:02:39. > :02:45.Sunderland and Aston Villa put together. Stuttering, stammering
:02:46. > :02:50.kind of run results in a corner. Manchester United are marginally the
:02:51. > :02:54.more threatening side. Blind with the corner, that was pretty much a
:02:55. > :02:58.free header if he had got a proper contact on it for Chris Smalling.
:02:59. > :03:02.Leicester would have been furious to concede like this. Good runs from
:03:03. > :03:06.Smalling, got himself in front of Robert Huth. He will look to do so
:03:07. > :03:13.again, from the other side. Blind's corner whipped in and well taken by
:03:14. > :03:17.Kasper Schmeichel. Schmeichel managing to avoid Schweinsteiger's
:03:18. > :03:21.boot. The referee has had a word with the German, as Leicester come
:03:22. > :03:28.forward. It's a great ball, Vardy is behind, he's it 70710 he has done!
:03:29. > :03:43.With his very first chance of the game! The V Festival goes on, Jamie
:03:44. > :03:47.Vardy four D, he has gone into the Premier League history books. 11
:03:48. > :03:54.consecutive games, scored in every single one of them. The league
:03:55. > :03:59.leaders Manchester United, from, don't forget, eight United corner.
:04:00. > :04:07.That's a brilliant ball, he's just onside. It's a great run. Not for a
:04:08. > :04:13.minute did missing crosses mind. Vardy's place in Premier League
:04:14. > :04:18.history is assured. I against Bournemouth, Villa, Stoke, Arsenal,
:04:19. > :04:23.Norwich, Southampton, Palace, is West Brom, Watford, Newcastle and
:04:24. > :04:29.now Manchester United, 11 straight games, 13 goals in all. The man of
:04:30. > :04:33.the moment, the man of the Season, Leicester one, Manchester United
:04:34. > :04:44.nil. The England manager cannot quite suppress a smile. He scores,
:04:45. > :04:50.sing the home fans. It's not the Premier League record, not the
:04:51. > :04:56.top-flight record, 1930-31, scored in 12 consecutive games for
:04:57. > :05:00.Sheffield United. Mahrez, a great link up with Okazaki. Good save by
:05:01. > :05:09.De Gea. Mahrez bursting into life, Okazaki involved, as almost always.
:05:10. > :05:28.Irrepressible Mahrez, great feat. Okazaki, oh... Nearly fell for it.
:05:29. > :05:34.This was a brilliant exchange. Good save by De Gea. Last time as the
:05:35. > :05:37.word top of the Premier League came in the year 2000, Orton, strangely
:05:38. > :05:46.their opposition were Manchester United. They lost that 13-0, they
:05:47. > :05:53.won't lose this 13-0. -- in autumn 2000. That had Kasper Schmeichel
:05:54. > :06:02.hurling himself, just in case. It's a Manchester United corner that
:06:03. > :06:08.parted Leonardo Ulloa on Drinkwater. My Arena United trailing by the
:06:09. > :06:11.Vardy goal. Whipped him, free header, Schweinsteiger equalises the
:06:12. > :06:17.Manchester United right at the end of the half! And Leicester's marking
:06:18. > :06:21.completely awry. A free header for Bastian Schweinsteiger from
:06:22. > :06:27.point-blank range and it's all square. Whipped in by Blind. He got
:06:28. > :06:33.away from Okazaki Schweinsteiger schools for Manchester United. It is
:06:34. > :06:35.1-1. With just one added minute to add at the end of the half. No
:06:36. > :06:41.better time to score. That header, Schweinsteiger's first
:06:42. > :06:58.Manchester United goal. Rooney, lurking around the penalty
:06:59. > :07:06.spot, Martial, twisting outside of Christian Fuchs and winning a free
:07:07. > :07:11.kick. Mata leads it. Young clips that. A good save by Schmeichel. The
:07:12. > :07:15.flag up on the near side, it wouldn't have counted anyway. Rooney
:07:16. > :07:20.flying in, has hurt himself in the process, he threw himself at this,
:07:21. > :07:23.Wayne Rooney. It's a very good save from Kasper Schmeichel, Rooney
:07:24. > :07:29.standing in an offside position. It's a good decision by Dave Bryant.
:07:30. > :07:33.Rooney getting something of Robert Huth right in the side. I wouldn't
:07:34. > :07:37.say Manchester United are exactly hammering on the door of
:07:38. > :07:42.Schmeichel's goal, but they are certainly looking halfway up the
:07:43. > :07:46.drive. A nice little dummy but Simpson was it might fall nicely,
:07:47. > :07:52.Riyad Mahrez is picking up speed. I don't think is going to catch on.
:07:53. > :07:59.It's says Finnish -- is the finish there? Not quite. David De Gea
:08:00. > :08:03.finish. Saves. Leonardo Ulloa can't believe you didn't put Leicester
:08:04. > :08:09.back in front. David De Gea made a much easier says than he might have
:08:10. > :08:13.been anticipating. -- save. 90 seconds of added time to play,
:08:14. > :08:21.Ashley Young here for Manchester United. Dangerously in the Mata.
:08:22. > :08:24.Back to Young, knocked up. Headed out by Schlupp, Bacchin by Darmian,
:08:25. > :08:32.who really struck it well. Really latched onto that. Super strike.
:08:33. > :08:36.Well worked by Manchester United. Never could they have envisaged when
:08:37. > :08:42.they took over this football club that they would end up sitting on
:08:43. > :08:48.top of the Premier League. Claudio Ranieri is 64, they may well feel
:08:49. > :08:53.they want to feed him when he's 74. Am delighted I got a goal to take me
:08:54. > :08:54.past Van Nistelrooy, but the boys are bit disappointed in the way we
:08:55. > :08:57.conceded the goal. are bit disappointed in the way we
:08:58. > :09:01.conceded the goal. Who knows, and another day it could have been three
:09:02. > :09:06.points. I am not happy because I have the feeling that we could have
:09:07. > :09:16.won this match. We have dominated 90 minutes, I think. We gave the goal
:09:17. > :09:18.away because we know already in offence that Leicester City is a
:09:19. > :09:22.counter team and also with our corner kicks they are very
:09:23. > :09:29.dangerous, so we cannot give that goal away. It's remarkable really
:09:30. > :09:32.that he could be so cool in such a big situation for him personally,
:09:33. > :09:39.and yet he didn't hesitate, he didn't seem to have any doubt at
:09:40. > :09:43.all? Know, all the team are very good physical condition, very good
:09:44. > :09:48.mentality. They want to try to do their best until the end. I've been
:09:49. > :09:53.taking each game as it comes. The record wasn't in my mind. That's how
:09:54. > :09:56.I've had to be. If I'd been concentrated on it it would have
:09:57. > :09:59.affected my performances and that's the last thing I would want to do
:10:00. > :10:02.because it would affect the team. We have put in a great performance
:10:03. > :10:07.today and we've come away with a point against a very good side. Have
:10:08. > :10:12.you ever experienced in your career a player who is relatively not that
:10:13. > :10:19.famous suddenly have an extraordinary run like this and
:10:20. > :10:26.become a superstar? Late in his career. I hope as an English man he
:10:27. > :10:37.scores many goals that would be nice. He's young? 28. I hope so. He
:10:38. > :10:42.started playing about 40 World Cups and scored more than anyone else.
:10:43. > :10:48.What an achievement, nevertheless, 11th consecutive games. Phenomenal.
:10:49. > :10:51.The only place to start. Absolutely brilliant, great achievement, so
:10:52. > :10:56.pleased for him. The goal summed best up, so positive, would catch
:10:57. > :11:01.from the goalkeeper. -- it summed Leicester up. Looking to break
:11:02. > :11:06.looking to break on Manchester United, he throws the ball to
:11:07. > :11:09.Christian Fuchs. This is brilliant, Vardy told him where he wants the
:11:10. > :11:13.ball but the weight of passing to him is superb and the finish is
:11:14. > :11:20.delightful, it really is. What alike is just watching, he never once
:11:21. > :11:23.looks up, so we see where the goal is because he knows where he is,
:11:24. > :11:27.he's aware of what's around him and he is aware of where the goal is. He
:11:28. > :11:32.doesn't have to look. He puts his foot behind it, 11 in a row,
:11:33. > :11:36.brilliant, congratulations. You notice off that graphic, four of
:11:37. > :11:40.them come late in the last seven or eight minutes of games, which for
:11:41. > :11:44.strikers is a great period in the game because lack of concentration
:11:45. > :11:50.from other players, tiredness, it's a great sign. Superb. A few years
:11:51. > :11:54.ago in one of my games for Blackburn he played for Leicester and runners
:11:55. > :12:00.ragged. The lads said, who is this lad? His progression is remarkable.
:12:01. > :12:04.We saw that Vardy's goal came from Schmeichel catch, threw it out
:12:05. > :12:09.quickly, but the United goal, which was a very similar corner but a
:12:10. > :12:13.different result? It was incredible how similar they are and this is the
:12:14. > :12:16.joy of being a goalkeeper, I suppose. Commanding, exactly what
:12:17. > :12:22.you want from a goalkeeper. Sets up the goal. Like his dad, in many
:12:23. > :12:26.ways. For some reason the exact same corner, he decides to stay on his
:12:27. > :12:29.line and ultimately he's gone from hero to villain. But he's had a
:12:30. > :12:34.tremendous season. I'm not getting on his case but he should have gone
:12:35. > :12:39.for that one. Would you fancy playing up front for this Manchester
:12:40. > :12:42.United outfit? No, I wouldn't, because I know Martial and in
:12:43. > :12:47.particular Wayne Rooney have come in for criticism for performances but
:12:48. > :12:52.it's understandable why, but there are reasons for it. That ball should
:12:53. > :12:58.go in the box but neither forward is in a decent position. OK, they come
:12:59. > :13:01.back. They go square. They go out into the exact same position on the
:13:02. > :13:05.left-hand side and a chance to cross it but it doesn't so they've gone
:13:06. > :13:09.from one side to the other four are throwing. Not great for a centre
:13:10. > :13:14.forward. So click on there, look at the difference, look at the space,
:13:15. > :13:17.the gaps between there's no linkup between Martial and Rooney. They are
:13:18. > :13:23.not working as a pair whatsoever. It happened all game. Rooney perhaps
:13:24. > :13:28.should hold that but he doesn't, he chooses to flick it on. There's no
:13:29. > :13:32.one around him, not Mata. Look where his partner is, Martial, they are
:13:33. > :13:36.miles apart. How on earth will they cause problems to back four by
:13:37. > :13:40.Leicester -- like Leicester by playing that far apart? This time
:13:41. > :13:44.the left-hand side, Rooney should come around there and work as a
:13:45. > :13:50.pair. Do you think it's under instruction? Absolutely, totally
:13:51. > :13:55.instruction. Rooney, a poor performance, he comes off. This is
:13:56. > :13:58.what the coaches telling them what to do, nothing changes. That
:13:59. > :14:03.instruction is coming from the manager. It's probably as a respect
:14:04. > :14:07.for Leicester to try to nullify Leicester going forward but for
:14:08. > :14:12.United it didn't work at all and I would not want to play in that team
:14:13. > :14:16.because of the lack of chances they create. It's fine to split when the
:14:17. > :14:20.goalkeeper has the ball, they wanted him to kick it long, but the idea of
:14:21. > :14:25.playing three at the back is to get two strikers on the pitch together.
:14:26. > :14:32.At the top. They were no worried -- nowhere near each of the one.
:14:33. > :14:34.Embarrassing, hopeless and inept Not you two...
:14:35. > :14:37.Just some of the words used by Alan to describe Newcastle's performance
:14:38. > :14:40.Steve McClaren's side were in action at Crystal Palace,
:14:41. > :14:42.managed of course by former Newcastle boss, Alan Pardew.
:14:43. > :14:45.Jonathan Pearce was at Selhurst Park.
:14:46. > :14:53.COMMENTATOR: Alan Pardew meets his old club hoping Newcastle hasn't
:14:54. > :14:56.learnt too many lessons from Sunderland who nullified Palace's
:14:57. > :15:01.pace by winning here 1-0 on Monday. One win in six for Eagles who have
:15:02. > :15:07.struggled here this season. They name an unnamed side with Wickham
:15:08. > :15:13.getting a chance upfront against his rivals. Same team, new ideas to
:15:14. > :15:19.solve problems caused by Sunderland, according to Pardew. Newcastle make
:15:20. > :15:23.two changes from their defeat by Leicester. Papiss Cisse gets his
:15:24. > :15:31.first start since September having scored here last season. Mitrovic
:15:32. > :15:35.dropped to the bench. Traditionally the survival mark for Premier League
:15:36. > :15:41.teams down the bottom has been 40 points. Not so in recent years.
:15:42. > :15:46.Newcastle won't want to go into the new year needing one-and-a-half
:15:47. > :15:56.points a game to hit that target. Perez. He's done well. Too easy.
:15:57. > :16:05.Cisse. 1-0, Newcastle United. Crystal Palace simply switched off.
:16:06. > :16:16.They allowed Janaszak to come too fared. Cisse, like last season, has
:16:17. > :16:24.put them in the lead. -- piano far. Cisse is onside. Should have closed
:16:25. > :16:39.on the ball, Crystal Palace. Lovely header. Guided in. Second defeat in
:16:40. > :16:47.a week against north-east sides. Perez, into the box. Cisse, again.
:16:48. > :16:54.Blocked by Ward. Sissoko, blocked, again. Spirited stuff by Newcastle.
:16:55. > :16:59.Strong run bias sis. The second shot was blocked, just like the first.
:17:00. > :17:05.Steve McClaren said his team has worked hard all week to exercise the
:17:06. > :17:09.ghosts of last week's defeat by Leicester. Lost seven of their last
:17:10. > :17:15.11 home games, Crystal Palace. Here's Wickham. Turns it back in for
:17:16. > :17:20.McArthur. The shot was deflected. It's in. Crystal Palace are level.
:17:21. > :17:25.Newcastle's lead lasted just three minutes. Huge slice of fortune about
:17:26. > :17:30.the goal. Look at the space there as well. Newcastle holding the line on
:17:31. > :17:39.the edge of their own penalty. It goes off Dummett. No chance for
:17:40. > :17:46.Elliot. Flying through the air, the deflection took it another way. A
:17:47. > :17:51.rip roaring atmosphere at Selhurst. Palace fans are buoyant, Newcastle
:17:52. > :17:57.silent at the moment. Here's Zaha. Wickham. Will he get a shot away?
:17:58. > :18:03.Pushes it into McArthur. Needed to think quicker than that. Bolasie,
:18:04. > :18:10.2-1. Newcastle's defending absolutely horrible. Two in three
:18:11. > :18:19.minutes for Crystal Palace. Look at the speed in which they counter.
:18:20. > :18:26.Wickham played it square. Zaha left it for his pal. Bolasie rammed it
:18:27. > :18:31.home. Crystal Palace are ahead. What an eventful opening period to the
:18:32. > :18:37.game it has been. Who would be a manager when your team is playing as
:18:38. > :18:45.open as this? Both managers, Pardew, McClaren, wanted to see a reaction
:18:46. > :18:55.from their teams today to defeats. Bolasie pulled into the wide
:18:56. > :18:59.position. McArthur in there as well. Nearly got to it.
:19:00. > :19:10.The plan isn't working. Cisse, to Anita. Palace are quicker to the
:19:11. > :19:16.ball. Bolasie. Isolated the defenders. Wickham to his left hand
:19:17. > :19:25.side. Mbemba. Back here for Zaha. Here it comes. Crystal Palace have a
:19:26. > :19:30.third. That will do Wilfried Zaha the world of good. A slice of
:19:31. > :19:35.fortune. The big bounce took it over Elliot and into the back of the net.
:19:36. > :19:40.Wickham's run was courageous. Sensible pullback. There was the big
:19:41. > :19:45.fortunate bounce. Crystal Palace 3, Newcastle United 1. At this stage,
:19:46. > :19:51.you can't see Newcastle United coming back into this or thriving in
:19:52. > :19:57.the Premier League with a defence like this. Newcastle make a
:19:58. > :20:03.half-time change then. Lascelles on for Perez. They have gone to a back
:20:04. > :20:10.three. Immediately concede a free-kick. 6 foot 2 initial
:20:11. > :20:18.defender, Derby born, climbing on the back. Wickham has caused
:20:19. > :20:24.trouble. He's in there again. Palace have a fourth! Bolasie at the
:20:25. > :20:29.far-post. All eyes were on Wickham. The free-kick was played in towards
:20:30. > :20:35.Delaney. Header to the back post. Newcastle have made a change, same
:20:36. > :20:43.old story, conceding. Delaney with the header. Bolasie was quickest to
:20:44. > :20:52.react. Crystal Palace 4, Newcastle 1. His second of the game. Crystal
:20:53. > :20:59.Palace have been struggling here to score goals. Wickham pressurising
:21:00. > :21:03.Lascelles. Puncheon. Well, they are turning it on now. Alan Pardew will
:21:04. > :21:09.love to see this. Zaha not giving up on it. Puncheon, over. Crystal
:21:10. > :21:15.Palace have hit four twice this season. On both occasions it was in
:21:16. > :21:19.the Premier League Cup against Shrewsbury and Charlton. Here's
:21:20. > :21:25.Puncheon. Gets that cross in. Very well played. Just over the bar by a
:21:26. > :21:31.hat-trick seeking Bolasie. The could have played it wide, whipped that
:21:32. > :21:37.left cross. Beautifully played to the edge. Six-yard area. How about
:21:38. > :21:43.that for a delivery? Two signs that a couple of Palace players have
:21:44. > :21:49.given perhaps all they can do today. Here's Ward coming forward. With the
:21:50. > :21:53.a right-footed drive. Piledriver. Purposefully drove into the gap.
:21:54. > :22:02.Just a finger tip over from Rob Elliot. He will be delighted. Much
:22:03. > :22:07.happier today. Of course, it's against his old side. Here's
:22:08. > :22:13.Gouffran. Is the last time Palace scored five was against Ipswich in
:22:14. > :22:18.the Championship in November 2012. They have never scored five in the
:22:19. > :22:24.Premier League. A good effort. Deflected just wide. He wrapped his
:22:25. > :22:31.foot around the ball and deserved better. They are looking furlong and
:22:32. > :22:41.there are very big tests around the corner. Newcastle United could be
:22:42. > :22:44.sliding into big trouble. Souare. They almost walked through. Look at
:22:45. > :22:54.the number of white shorts simply bypassed.
:22:55. > :23:02.Dispossessed. Hasn't the legs to stay with him. Bamford is at the
:23:03. > :23:07.far-post. It will come back, McArthur. Crystal Palace made
:23:08. > :23:10.Premier League history. They have a fifth in Premier League football for
:23:11. > :23:16.the first time thechl have been dominant throughout. Thrilling,
:23:17. > :23:22.entertaining, decisive, hungry. It's a key word. Newcastle United got off
:23:23. > :23:27.to a bright start, but crumbled. On the evidence of this, they are
:23:28. > :23:31.sliding into deep trouble. Crystal Palace 5, Newcastle United 1. Didn't
:23:32. > :23:36.really change too much tactically. A couple of little things we thought
:23:37. > :23:41.might work. Bolasie caused more chaos down by playing through the
:23:42. > :23:44.middle. We were terrific today. Regardless of what opposition we
:23:45. > :23:48.played we would have won today. The we arics isth in the division for a
:23:49. > :23:51.reason. We have a good team. Our home form hasn't been good enough.
:23:52. > :23:55.To bounce back today was great and the manager we did it. After they
:23:56. > :23:58.scored we dominated the game after that for the rest of the match.
:23:59. > :24:02.Which was great. It's not about systems, it's not tactics. It's
:24:03. > :24:05.about attitude, fight, about staying in the game. It's about working and
:24:06. > :24:08.running backwards as quick Assombalonga you run forwards. The
:24:09. > :24:15.reaction was good. We had that. Once the third goal went in. That went
:24:16. > :24:20.down. People are loving the dressing room as players and staff and fans
:24:21. > :24:24.who travelled today. Whatever I say about Newcastle is contrived to be
:24:25. > :24:27.something else, I don't want to say anything other than they are a great
:24:28. > :24:33.club I hope their fortunes change in the coming weeks. You are in a
:24:34. > :24:37.relegation fight still? Absolutely. No doubt about that. We knew it
:24:38. > :24:41.would be tough. We said after 10-12 games we know where we will be.
:24:42. > :24:45.Relegation fight. 13 games gone. 25 to go. If we are at this stage of
:24:46. > :24:48.the season and 13 to go then I would be starting to get worried. There is
:24:49. > :24:53.enough time. I think there is enough in that dressing room. We have to
:24:54. > :24:57.bring it out. A message to the fans is - it's so, so disappointing. We
:24:58. > :25:02.are so disappointed for them as much as anybody, travelling this far and
:25:03. > :25:06.seeing not a Newcastle team play for the 95 minutes and fight. Can't be
:25:07. > :25:10.much fun coming here at the moment for you, I suppose in many ways. At
:25:11. > :25:14.the same time you have to give Crystal Palace credit. . They were
:25:15. > :25:18.tremendous? Fantastic. I spoke to Sam Allardyce on Tuesday after the
:25:19. > :25:22.win that Sunderland had against Crystal Palace. I said - what was
:25:23. > :25:26.your plan. How did you win the game? He said, simple, our plan was to
:25:27. > :25:31.stop Bolasie and Zaha. He felt they were there their two main players.
:25:32. > :25:36.Newcastle could not do that at all today. They didn't get near them.
:25:37. > :25:39.These two guys ran the show. Brilliant from start to finish.
:25:40. > :25:45.Superb ball out. Dummett goes past him too easily. Decent ball in.
:25:46. > :25:49.Great pace to run in behind Newcastle's back four. Great
:25:50. > :25:53.composure. Great little ball at the edge of the box. Should do better.
:25:54. > :25:57.It's very, very good play from Crystal Palace. Ball comes across.
:25:58. > :26:01.Shocking defending, which Danny will point out in a minute. But very,
:26:02. > :26:04.very good finish from Bolasie. Look at the strength? Hauls off Anita.
:26:05. > :26:09.Only one guy was going to win that ball. It was Bolasie. A decent ball
:26:10. > :26:14.in to Wickham. Away you go again. Too much time to turn, to run at the
:26:15. > :26:18.Newcastle back four. They caused them problems, as I said, all
:26:19. > :26:23.afternoon. Look at the space that Zaha has on the edge of the box?
:26:24. > :26:28.Lucky finish. He scuffs it. But long ball up, one-on-one again, goes past
:26:29. > :26:32.Mbemba. Far too easily. They get away with it. It's a foul, they hit
:26:33. > :26:37.the post. Look at the long ball up here Look at the space he has to
:26:38. > :26:41.bring it down on his chest. Chests it into Zaha. One-on-one. I'm
:26:42. > :26:46.thinking to the Newcastle defence, clatter someone. Give us something.
:26:47. > :26:51.Good ball in. It was just far, pa too easy for Palace all afternoon.
:26:52. > :26:56.Newcastle got what they deserved. I suppose in many ways newicals really
:26:57. > :27:03.farcical at the moment almost? It surprises me. When I worked with
:27:04. > :27:05.Steve he was tactically very well when he was Scven's number two with
:27:06. > :27:09.England much you have to show some attitude. They are all over the
:27:10. > :27:12.place. You need desire to defend properly. With the mistakes they
:27:13. > :27:16.made today. It's happening too often. This is a simple loss of the
:27:17. > :27:22.ball in midfield. It isn't the end of the world. The back four is in an
:27:23. > :27:28.OK position. What happens next is ridiculous. No-one is talking.
:27:29. > :27:33.Coloccini goes to ground for in reason. He turns his back on Bolasie
:27:34. > :27:48.shooting. Show some bravery. Show some desire. This is a simple set
:27:49. > :27:52.play. I mean, again it's Yanukovych. -- Janaszak. The lack of leadership
:27:53. > :27:56.in the back four. The midfield as well weren't happening. This is late
:27:57. > :28:00.in the game. When you expect someone to maybe make a tactical. Take a
:28:01. > :28:05.booking, show some desire. Poor clearance. This goes through two
:28:06. > :28:09.defend and the goalkeeper. I mean, it is so poor. I think they have
:28:10. > :28:12.real problems. I don't see any strength and depth in the squad they
:28:13. > :28:19.can replace the players with who they are playing with so badly.
:28:20. > :28:23.Fancy a weekly rant? Stay calm. It's difficult to sum up Newcastle's
:28:24. > :28:26.flight in 30 seconds. You can't coach players who don't want to be
:28:27. > :28:29.coach, who are not good enough. They have too many Monday to Friday
:28:30. > :28:32.players. Good on training, don't want to perform on Saturday. From
:28:33. > :28:36.the manager's point of view, I don't see a plan. I didn't see a plan
:28:37. > :28:40.three weeks ago at Bournemouth. I didn't see a plan last week against
:28:41. > :28:45.Leicester City or a plan today to stop the opposition. Recruitment.
:28:46. > :28:49.The guys in charge of recruiting players have got away with it for
:28:50. > :28:53.such a long time now at Newcastle. The players they signed are not good
:28:54. > :28:58.enough, simple. Apart from that - Apart from that it's great. Move on.
:28:59. > :29:02.Was that 30 seconds? Well played, Crystal Palace.
:29:03. > :29:05.Bournemouth's point at Swansea ended a run of four straight defeats, but
:29:06. > :29:08.they still began the day second from bottom for the visit of Everton, who
:29:09. > :29:16.John Motson was at the Vitality Stadium.
:29:17. > :29:21.Distin has played more in the Premier League than any other
:29:22. > :29:29.outfield Premier League player. He made his 450th start last week, 157
:29:30. > :29:34.of them for the day's visitors, Everton. Eddie Howe is 38 tomorrow.
:29:35. > :29:38.He names an unchanged team from the draw at Swansea. They have another
:29:39. > :29:43.ex-Aberdonian in Dan Gosling. That 4-0 win over Aston Villa means
:29:44. > :29:47.Everton are also unchanged. Romelu Lukaku leak reached a landmark 50
:29:48. > :29:54.Premier League goals last week but Leighton Baines has not travelled.
:29:55. > :30:04.Daniel getting that inside the Gosling. This is King. King for
:30:05. > :30:09.Bournemouth, Stanislas tried to follow up. Tim Howard made the save.
:30:10. > :30:12.Josh King has scored his per -- first Premier League goal last week
:30:13. > :30:20.and threatened to strike again there. Howard down to block the
:30:21. > :30:23.shot. That was Barry, across the Deulofeu. Lukaku has his arm up
:30:24. > :30:30.coming in from the left-hand side. It has run on the Kone. Good stop by
:30:31. > :30:34.Federici. Reacted very well there. I think Simon Francis allowed that
:30:35. > :30:39.ball to rather drop over him. Or rather didn't get the header on as
:30:40. > :30:51.he wanted and Kone driving for the near post. Corner again to Everton.
:30:52. > :30:55.Lukaku. Goalkeeper twice. Well, Everton are really turning the screw
:30:56. > :31:00.on Bournemouth here. Romelu Lukaku with a header, pushed up by the
:31:01. > :31:05.goalkeeper, who then got a second touch. There's Jeff Mostyn, the
:31:06. > :31:08.Bournemouth chairman and the supporters here are well aware that
:31:09. > :31:12.in the bad old days when they were collecting money in buckets to keep
:31:13. > :31:19.the club going, he put a fair amount in himself. Galloway is up to
:31:20. > :31:23.McCarthy's left. It's another Everton corner. They are really
:31:24. > :31:36.forcing Bournemouth back now. Funes Mori, it's in! It's a goal for
:31:37. > :31:42.Everton and the Argentine will claim it. You have to say, you could see
:31:43. > :31:48.it running. 25 minutes gone. Roberto Martinez saw it in the lead on the
:31:49. > :31:52.big centre-half who is really playing because of the injury to
:31:53. > :31:57.Jagielka, scores his first Everton goal here. Number 25. It was into
:31:58. > :32:06.the roof of the net with power, wasn't it? Funes Mori gives Everton
:32:07. > :32:19.the lead, and Bournemouth face an afternoon of struggle again here.
:32:20. > :32:26.Lukaku, oh, he got his shot in from what looked to be a difficult
:32:27. > :32:31.angle, round the defender and the goalkeeper Rand Romelu Lukaku come
:32:32. > :32:40.after 36 minutes, brings his Premier League total to 52. Deulofeu
:32:41. > :32:45.threading the ball through, but he's so strong, look -- Lukaku. He has
:32:46. > :32:51.really held off the defender and used power to drive it between
:32:52. > :32:56.goalkeeper and near post. Bournemouth nil, Everton two.
:32:57. > :33:00.Everton have been scoring goals for fun, recently. Six against
:33:01. > :33:08.Sunderland, four against Aston Villa, two already here in the first
:33:09. > :33:14.half. Richie's Cross, Cook is in there, hooked out from under the
:33:15. > :33:20.bar. By Stones. Up goes Stanislas, it's still free, no, it's not now,
:33:21. > :33:24.the nearest Bournemouth have come. Cook was the player with the header
:33:25. > :33:30.and Stones hooked it out before it could cross. Bournemouth make two
:33:31. > :33:33.substitutions at half-time, Adam Smith is on in defence for Steve
:33:34. > :33:40.Cook, but perhaps more significantly, Ryan Allsop has come
:33:41. > :33:44.on in place of Adam Federici, who was injured earlier.
:33:45. > :34:01.And now Richie, Smith coming up in support. This is after. -- Arter.
:34:02. > :34:05.And now Howard makes a save which is doubly important, because it took
:34:06. > :34:09.the ball away from King, who was following in. Bournemouth showing
:34:10. > :34:11.great spirit, that's never been a problem here. Well, look at that for
:34:12. > :34:25.goalkeeping, safe as houses. Stanislas again, clearance. It's a
:34:26. > :34:31.corner again to Bournemouth. They've come close from a couple of these.
:34:32. > :34:36.Frist goes in again with Distin. -- Frist goes in again with Distin.
:34:37. > :34:42.Charlie Daniels is there. Everton defending stoutly again. Smith, oh,
:34:43. > :34:51.what a cracker! What a good goal from Adam Smith! That is a beauty.
:34:52. > :34:54.You won't see a better strike than that, and he's the substitute right
:34:55. > :35:01.back who has put Bournemouth back in the game. Wonderful shot by Smith.
:35:02. > :35:07.It comes out here quite some distance, 25 yards and he fires it
:35:08. > :35:18.in off the far post, Adam Smith. Only his second goal for
:35:19. > :35:24.Bournemouth, it's put them back in the game.
:35:25. > :35:36.Now then, King, Smith again. Oh, he's gone down. Gone down under the
:35:37. > :35:40.challenge from Galloway. The referee and linesman don't react. Well, I
:35:41. > :35:43.thought that that Smith was either going to do something dramatic
:35:44. > :35:49.again. I don't think Galloway could really get out of the way. Well, I
:35:50. > :36:02.don't know. It's not a nailed on penalty, that's for sure. This is
:36:03. > :36:06.Coney. -- Kone. Here is Murray, a free kick. The Bournemouth. Murray
:36:07. > :36:18.takes it quickly. This is King. Joss King. It's gone in! Stanislas who
:36:19. > :36:27.has equalised for Bournemouth in the most dramatic fashion. The 87th
:36:28. > :36:33.minute, Bournemouth seemed to have rescued the game when it seemed
:36:34. > :36:39.lost. This is Joss King, who makes it possible. It's a good run, a good
:36:40. > :36:44.pull-back, and Stanislas have got the better of the defender, and it
:36:45. > :36:49.is 2-2. Look at Eddie Howe, a birthday present.
:36:50. > :37:01.Come out to Barkley. It's Kone again. Last-minute, Coleman. It's
:37:02. > :37:10.gone in! Everton have scored are going. -- again. It's Ross Barkley.
:37:11. > :37:18.There are fans on the pitch. This is a bit dangerous. Everton have taken
:37:19. > :37:26.the lead, 3-2, and we were right on the 95 minutes. And Bournemouth seem
:37:27. > :37:33.to have lost it with the last attack of the game. And Barkley, who has
:37:34. > :37:38.been in such sparkling form for Everton recently, gets what must
:37:39. > :37:43.surely now be the winning goal. In one of the best games I've seen this
:37:44. > :37:48.season, if not the best. And poor Eddie Howe can only look miserably
:37:49. > :37:52.on, because this looks like being a real salvage job for Bournemouth,
:37:53. > :37:58.and it's turning out to be another home defeat. Well, the five minutes
:37:59. > :38:03.of stoppage time that was signals were more or less up when that shot
:38:04. > :38:09.hit the back of the net. And Bournemouth have a chance again
:38:10. > :38:17.here! It's their! It's Stanislas again! I don't believe this, it's
:38:18. > :38:24.3-3! And where that time came from I've no idea. But Bournemouth aren't
:38:25. > :38:29.complaining. Both teams have scored since the 90 minutes were up. And
:38:30. > :38:36.now it's 3-3. Stanislas, his second goal of the game. Breathless stuff
:38:37. > :38:43.here at Bournemouth. Tim Howard could do nothing about it. Well, an
:38:44. > :38:45.extraordinary match, one of the best Premier League games of the season,
:38:46. > :38:52.surely. Bournemouth three, Everton three.
:38:53. > :38:57.Have you ever been involved in a finish quite like that? No, I
:38:58. > :39:07.haven't. At half-time we were 2-0 down, to see them at the end there,
:39:08. > :39:11.to be fair I thought to myself we forced -- lost this, one of the lads
:39:12. > :39:14.asked the referee if it was over and he said yes, it's done, then next
:39:15. > :39:16.Stanislas came up with an equaliser. You can't write stories
:39:17. > :39:19.like this. It's an amazing game, an amazing feeling at the end. I
:39:20. > :39:23.thought the first half performance was exactly what we wanted and in
:39:24. > :39:27.the second half maybe we didn't do as well as we wanted to do but even
:39:28. > :39:31.then you need to show a resilient side of your play and we did that,
:39:32. > :39:35.then the personality of finding what should have been the winning goal,
:39:36. > :39:39.it was very pleasing. As you can imagine in the dressing room, it's a
:39:40. > :39:43.feeling of real disappointment and frustration because the concede that
:39:44. > :39:48.late in that manner is very hurtful. We robbing you need to focus on the
:39:49. > :39:53.last seconds of the game, I think, and we weren't. They scored the goal
:39:54. > :39:59.and then everybody is down, but like the manager said, after the game we
:40:00. > :40:05.need to learn from this game, but as long as the referee didn't blow the
:40:06. > :40:11.whistle we need to stay focused and try to defend the results and finish
:40:12. > :40:16.the game. After the game I spoke to the Bournemouth manager, Eddie Howe.
:40:17. > :40:19.That was some finale, you must have gone through a whole gamut of
:40:20. > :40:23.emotions there? It's unbelievable how football can play with your
:40:24. > :40:27.emotions. I've never felt so much despair when we conceded that third
:40:28. > :40:31.goal, and the scorer in the manner we did straight after with a great
:40:32. > :40:34.team goal was one of the biggest highs I've had in football. It's
:40:35. > :40:39.been an incredible day. I'm not sure how good your health it is, this
:40:40. > :40:42.football management game. You can say that again, it's no good for
:40:43. > :40:45.your health, I can tell you. The strains your brain and body go
:40:46. > :40:49.through when you are watching is extreme. I'll be having an early
:40:50. > :40:53.night tonight. You must have been delighted with the spirit your side
:40:54. > :40:57.showed today, coming from behind twice. I think the character we
:40:58. > :41:01.showed today was excellent. At 2-0 down with the season we've had, with
:41:02. > :41:05.the look that's gone against us, it would have been easy for the lads to
:41:06. > :41:08.be downhearted and lose their spirit but it shows the resolve, character
:41:09. > :41:12.and the willingness to improve and get better. That is the only thing
:41:13. > :41:15.that will give us a chance of moving forward in this league and
:41:16. > :41:19.continuing to pick up points in a tough season. You have talked about
:41:20. > :41:23.how we want to stick to the style of play that Bournemouth are playing.
:41:24. > :41:27.How do you evaluate the progress the side is making the Premier League? I
:41:28. > :41:31.feel we are improving week on week. We have had some difficult moments.
:41:32. > :41:35.We have had to learn from those and try and come back stronger and
:41:36. > :41:39.better for it. We are doing a lot of work on the training ground to keep
:41:40. > :41:43.improving our philosophy and develop our philosophy. And continue to make
:41:44. > :41:46.tweaks to deliver what we feel is a better way of training to the
:41:47. > :41:51.players. Ultimately the results will define the season. With the way we
:41:52. > :41:55.were playing, we wouldn't want to change, our supporters wouldn't want
:41:56. > :41:58.us to change and we will not go away from our ideals. We are enjoying
:41:59. > :42:04.your -- watching your side, entertaining stuff. Thanks again. A
:42:05. > :42:08.pleasure. It was a fabulously exciting game, it swung one way,
:42:09. > :42:12.then the other. They showed terrific spirit, Bournemouth, and I admire
:42:13. > :42:15.that they don't try to change because he's playing the right way
:42:16. > :42:20.for me. But I believe that Everton contributed hugely to Bournemouth
:42:21. > :42:22.getting back in the game. They played really well in the first
:42:23. > :42:22.half. getting back in the game. They
:42:23. > :42:25.played really well in the first half. Everybody was on the front
:42:26. > :42:28.foot, trying to press Bournemouth high because they knew they were
:42:29. > :42:31.going to play out and they did it really well and caused Bournemouth
:42:32. > :42:34.all sorts of problems. Winning the ball back nice and early, creating
:42:35. > :42:39.good attacks from it, Bournemouth trying to play their way out, Kone
:42:40. > :42:45.coming in off the left to help. They went hunting in packs and thoroughly
:42:46. > :42:48.deserved their 2-0 lead. It was a very good Everton performance and
:42:49. > :42:51.they continued from the performance against Villa last week. The second
:42:52. > :42:56.half was an incredible change. I don't know whether it was, I don't
:42:57. > :43:00.think it was deliberate, I think you know sometimes when you are winning
:43:01. > :43:06.in a football match you sit back and protect what you have got but it was
:43:07. > :43:10.so bad in comparison. It was lethargic. It gave Bournemouth the
:43:11. > :43:12.impetus to get back in the game, gave them confidence, because the
:43:13. > :43:17.players were having plenty of touches on the ball. Then they
:43:18. > :43:20.started making some chances, gaining momentum, and actually could have
:43:21. > :43:24.scored more than the three they did in the second half. It was only some
:43:25. > :43:29.good saves and last-ditch defending from Everton that stopped them. The
:43:30. > :43:33.disappointing thing was of course from Everton's point of view is that
:43:34. > :43:36.even after Bournemouth getting back to 2-2 and they got back in the
:43:37. > :43:40.lead, they conceded a game, but it was more than Bournemouth deserved.
:43:41. > :43:43.You can see here, there is in the tackle being made, the resident
:43:44. > :43:46.fouls being given. There's nothing. It was more than Bournemouth
:43:47. > :43:48.deserved. You can see here, there is in the tackle being made, the
:43:49. > :43:50.resident fouls being given. There's nothing. , physically they looked
:43:51. > :43:56.tired for some reason and there's no reason they should. As the
:43:57. > :44:00.Bournemouth, Danny says he likes the way he's stuck to his principles
:44:01. > :44:04.about the way they play. Do you concur? I have heard it being said
:44:05. > :44:09.that they should change their style of play, it's nonsense. No, they
:44:10. > :44:13.shouldn't change their style of play. They have lost three big

:45:30. > :45:42.score from the penalty spot with nine minutes to go. Bullard, 1-1.
:45:43. > :45:46.Oh, look at the celebration. Ha-ha. Jimmy Bullard does the Phil Brown.
:45:47. > :45:50.Well the ghosts of last year could be erased here. Talk about working
:45:51. > :45:51.on a set-piece on the training pitch. They've been working on this
:45:52. > :45:56.celebration. After back-to-back defeats against
:45:57. > :46:02.Liverpool and Juventus, Manchester City faced a Southampton side
:46:03. > :46:04.unbeaten on the road this season. Steve Bower was at the
:46:05. > :46:11.Etihad Stadium. Manchester City's attempts to get
:46:12. > :46:14.back on track must be done without injured goalkeeper Joe Hart. Willy
:46:15. > :46:17.Caballero plays his fourth game in the Premier League. His last one saw
:46:18. > :46:21.him concede four at Spurs. There is also as first start in any
:46:22. > :46:25.competition since his summer move from Aston Villa for Fabian Delph.
:46:26. > :46:31.One of the four Southampton changes is enforced. Top scorer, Pelle is
:46:32. > :46:35.suspended. The responsibility falls on Shane Long who starts a League
:46:36. > :46:42.game for just the fourth time this season. Here's the first touch on
:46:43. > :46:52.his full debut for the club for Delph. Kolarov has gone sprinting on
:46:53. > :46:56.ahead of him. Sterling. Can Manchester City have a fast start
:46:57. > :47:02.here? Lovely touch from Toure. Sterling. Stekelenburg went to pick
:47:03. > :47:09.that up, wasn't sure whether it would have been deemed a backpass.
:47:10. > :47:12.So he opted for safety first. Wonderful combination between Toure
:47:13. > :47:17.and Sterling. Well, very nearly a perfect start for Manchester City.
:47:18. > :47:33.Aguero. He was caught late there. Right in front of the referee, Roger
:47:34. > :47:38.East. No need to debate whether that was late or not. You would think
:47:39. > :47:42.this would be tailor made for the left foot of Kolarov. Here he comes
:47:43. > :47:46.the Serbian. Very nearly found a way through. It was the Manchester City
:47:47. > :47:57.players that ended up in the back of the net, not the ball. Stekelenburg
:47:58. > :48:05.just about recovered the situation. Aleksandar Kolarov was that close to
:48:06. > :48:11.number five. Jose Fonte. Yoshida has to play at right back today. He has
:48:12. > :48:16.lost out there to Sterling. Will he be punished by Manchester City?
:48:17. > :48:21.Sterling still going. They will. De Bruyne. It's taken them less than
:48:22. > :48:25.eight-and-a-half minutes to provide the reaction that Manuel Pellegrini
:48:26. > :48:32.was looking for. It's not a moment Yoshida will want to see again. Took
:48:33. > :48:36.too long. That was ultimately a Costly error. Credit Sterling. He
:48:37. > :48:41.just put it on a plate for De Bruyne. That is not the area to take
:48:42. > :48:45.on Raheem Sterling as far as the Japanese international is concerned.
:48:46. > :48:49.Sterling did the rest. De Bruyne couldn't miss. Perfect start for
:48:50. > :48:57.Manchester City after a troublesome week. City 1, Southampton 0. Trying
:48:58. > :49:05.to regroup. A shock to the system. They have given it away again.
:49:06. > :49:08.Trying to set up Aguero. Southampton just about survive, but they really
:49:09. > :49:13.are making things difficult for themselves in the early stages here.
:49:14. > :49:21.Romeu the latest to gift City possession. Stekelenburg rescued him
:49:22. > :49:26.there, in all honesty. Davis, De Bruyne. Early into the feet of
:49:27. > :49:33.Aguero. He's returned the favour. Sweeping move this from Manchester
:49:34. > :49:36.City. Aguero. They had to be careful there Southampton, about making the
:49:37. > :49:43.challenge. It arrived in the end from Fonte. That burst of pace from
:49:44. > :49:50.Sergio Aguero. Could have went to penalty. De Bruyne's cross. Free
:49:51. > :49:55.header. Well, it was really well kept out. Fernandinho thinks there
:49:56. > :49:58.was a use of a hand. Roger East, the referee, doesn't. All Manchester
:49:59. > :50:04.City get is a corner. Let's have a closer look. Totally unmarked to
:50:05. > :50:13.start with. Steven Davis was running the risk. Corner low. It's come back
:50:14. > :50:18.to Delph. Deflected for 2-0. Well, his full Manchester City debut has
:50:19. > :50:21.started pretty well we haven't played 20 minutes yet and Manchester
:50:22. > :50:26.City have a two goal cushion. That one aided by the huge deflection.
:50:27. > :50:31.They didn't deal with the corner, again. Delph struck it left-footed,
:50:32. > :50:34.a little touch off van Dijk which deceived Stekelenburg, who was going
:50:35. > :50:38.one way, the ball went the other. Everything is going Manchester
:50:39. > :50:44.City's way so far. Manchester City 2, Southampton 0.
:50:45. > :50:56.Van Dijk. Southampton in need of a response here. Romeu.
:50:57. > :51:04.Bertrand. Neatly done from van Dijk. That was a terrific strike. That
:51:05. > :51:11.crashed against the crossbar. Lovely little touch and turn as well.
:51:12. > :51:30.Caballero beaten all ends there. Ward-Prowse. Here's Mane. He's got
:51:31. > :51:34.options here, Mane, Tadic. Roger East waited a long time there for
:51:35. > :51:39.advantage. He didn't feel there was one forthcoming, so he's pulled it
:51:40. > :51:46.right back for the foul on Steven Davis by Kolarov. Quickly taken by
:51:47. > :51:52.Tadic. Good movement from Mane. Teasing cross as well. There's the
:51:53. > :51:56.goal. Shane Long, four minutes into the second-half, he gets one back
:51:57. > :52:04.for Southampton. Exactly what they needed. His third goal in four
:52:05. > :52:11.starts. It was all about the delivery from Mane. Quickly taken by
:52:12. > :52:16.Tadic. Then Shane Long did the rest. His second Premier League goal of
:52:17. > :52:24.the season. Above Demichelis. He gives Southampton some hope. City 2,
:52:25. > :52:25.Southampton 1. Once again, in his absence, no clean sheet for
:52:26. > :52:41.Manchester City. Wanyama. Tadic. He's gone alone. It's Tadic.
:52:42. > :52:45.Then Long. Manchester City survive. This is what Shane Long was
:52:46. > :52:57.appealing for, when it comes back to him. Watch Fernandinho. Does he use
:52:58. > :53:02.his hand? 25 minutes to go. Tadic. Might fancy a go here. Caballero
:53:03. > :53:07.couldn't hold it. Very nearly came to Long. Cleared by Kolarov. Again,
:53:08. > :53:11.a little unconvincing from Caballero's point of view. Almost
:53:12. > :53:20.pushed that right into the path of Shane Long. Bertrand. Now can
:53:21. > :53:29.Manchester City go forward. De Bruyne. Sterling against Yoshida.
:53:30. > :53:37.Sterling stepping inside. Bony. De Bruyne. Time
:53:38. > :53:40.Sterling stepping inside. Bony. De Kolarov. That's the end result.
:53:41. > :53:45.Against the run of play in this second-half, you have to say.
:53:46. > :53:49.Manchester City restore their two goal advantage. They took their
:53:50. > :53:56.time. It looked initially as if it was one pass too many. Then it came
:53:57. > :54:00.through to Kolarov. He swept in his second Premier League goal of the
:54:01. > :54:05.season. Midway through the second-half, Manchester City needed
:54:06. > :54:12.this. Kolarov provided it. Manchester City 3, Southampton 1. We
:54:13. > :54:15.started very, very strong, as you see, especially the first 25
:54:16. > :54:19.minutes. Maybe when we scored the second goal we stopped a little bit
:54:20. > :54:27.in our pace because it's normal the team playing so many games, this
:54:28. > :54:32.Southampton we had our worst minute because we were nervous. The third
:54:33. > :54:38.goal gave us the class to finish in a good way. 20 minutes in, with a
:54:39. > :54:43.deflection, your your first goal for Manchester City? A great feeling. A
:54:44. > :54:49.roller-coaster ride it has been with injuries that I've never had before.
:54:50. > :54:53.It felt sweet to get a goal today. The most important thing was to get
:54:54. > :54:59.three points and push forward. I thought we did that collectively.
:55:00. > :55:03.Very frustrated. It's maybe about focus, concentration at the start of
:55:04. > :55:09.the game. Maybe we dropped a little bit too much back. Our ball position
:55:10. > :55:14.was very poor you saw the difference in the second-half. Let's take the
:55:15. > :55:18.positives out of today and not in the first half, yes in the
:55:19. > :55:20.second-half. City back to inwithing ways, Alan. A few injuries,
:55:21. > :55:28.obviously. They have plenty of options going forward? Going
:55:29. > :55:31.forward, when you look at the bench today, Silva, Navas, Bony, no Nasri
:55:32. > :55:34.today. You spent over ?100 million in the summer on two big players you
:55:35. > :55:39.are looking for them to make a difference. Tight games. That was,
:55:40. > :55:43.without doubt, they did that today. This is in the first minute. Give
:55:44. > :55:48.and go from Sterling. Showing what he will do. Run in there. Run in
:55:49. > :55:52.behind and cause you problems. Yes, it's a mistake by Yoshida. Look at
:55:53. > :55:58.the determination from De Bruyne to get into the box. To get on the end
:55:59. > :56:03.of Sterling's's cross. Pel puts it on a plate for him. I mentioned the
:56:04. > :56:07.lack ever linkup play from Manchester United earlier. The
:56:08. > :56:11.difference between United and City going forward is so vast. It's
:56:12. > :56:16.unbelievable. Running in behind. This is where he has to improve, I
:56:17. > :56:19.think. He can push it to his left there, have a shot. Go at the
:56:20. > :56:24.far-post. The defenders is quite comfortable to let him, show him on
:56:25. > :56:30.his left line. He puts away the problem. Brilliant from De Bruyne.
:56:31. > :56:39.Not too much distance between these two. Linkup play very, very good
:56:40. > :56:44.indeed. It's a good goal. In to De Bruyne. Into Bony a brilliant ball
:56:45. > :56:49.at the far-post into Kolarov who smashes it away with that left foot
:56:50. > :56:55.of his. Pace, power between the both of them. It was great to watch, give
:56:56. > :56:59.and go again. This is just a dream ball. It should be stuck away from
:57:00. > :57:03.Bony. What a ball that is. They were the threat all afternoon. They made
:57:04. > :57:07.the difference. Having said that, Manchester City got off to a flying
:57:08. > :57:11.start. Southampton were all at sea early on. Second-half they came
:57:12. > :57:17.back. Gave them a scare, as Pellegrini admitted They did. He
:57:18. > :57:20.made a substitution that brought Tadic on, that helped them. They had
:57:21. > :57:25.a mountain to climb. When they started the game too many players
:57:26. > :57:29.were in awe of the players they were up against. 2-0 down after 20
:57:30. > :57:35.minutes a long way back. A long way back from there.
:57:36. > :57:37.Aston Villa need to make Premier League history
:57:38. > :57:41.No team has stayed up after taking just five points
:57:42. > :57:45.Remi Garde's men faced a Watford side beaten in the last minute
:57:46. > :57:52.The numbers don't lie or add up to much for Villa. They come into game
:57:53. > :57:55.in a darker mood than Watford, they have lost their last two, only
:57:56. > :58:01.narrowly and to the current top two teams in the lad. There wasn't much
:58:02. > :58:05.to please the manager last week. Sanchez was good enough to earn him
:58:06. > :58:16.a recall to the starting line-up today. Watford, there is a first
:58:17. > :58:22.ever Premier League start for Paredes and Deeney, a Villa junior,
:58:23. > :58:28.but a Birmingham fan. Sanchez has headed it the wrong way. To Deeney.
:58:29. > :58:34.Deeney pops it through to Ighalo. Blocked by the chest of Guzan.
:58:35. > :58:40.Here's Abdi. What did that hit? Richardson was close. It's bounced
:58:41. > :58:45.for Ighalo. Ighalo has put it in. Villa appeal for offside. The flag
:58:46. > :58:49.stayed down. It's advantage Watford. Any number of incidents here. That
:58:50. > :58:57.was brilliant work from Ighalo. The shot was straight at Guzan. Then a
:58:58. > :59:02.block from Richardson. A good interception from Paredes. Let's see
:59:03. > :59:08.where Ighalo was when Ben Watson struck this towards goal? Villa had
:59:09. > :59:12.their arms in the air. When Watson hit it, Ighalo was onside. You would
:59:13. > :59:19.think for the next few minutes Villa have to make sure they don't have to
:59:20. > :59:22.go further behind hood. -- behind. Will they, forward-thinking from
:59:23. > :59:32.Hutton. Here's Sinclair. Villa, corner.
:59:33. > :59:44.Abdi got to it. The ball is kept moving by Gil. Here is Veretout, a
:59:45. > :59:50.couple of deflections and wide of the post from Ayew. A huge chance.
:59:51. > :59:53.He had to take it when he did, instinctively quickly. As he
:59:54. > :00:00.swivelled and here he got his angle wrong, he hit it into the deck with
:00:01. > :00:06.Gomes well beaten. Abdi, a lovely turn. Deeney, trying to set himself
:00:07. > :00:10.up to shoot. It was Sanchez with the block. Sanchez loses the ball to
:00:11. > :00:17.Deeney. Deeney plays it through the Capoue. A vital. From Guzan. -- a
:00:18. > :00:21.vital stop from Guzan. That might prove to be a really important block
:00:22. > :00:29.from Guzan. It nearly got through his legs, you know, very nearly.
:00:30. > :00:39.Sinclair moves away from Paredes. Skips past Watson. Saved by Gomes,
:00:40. > :00:41.it was flying in from Sinclair. Aston Villa need more of that from
:00:42. > :00:57.him. That was goal bound. Faced by Ake, and Aston Villa
:00:58. > :01:02.corner. He has to carry out some running boot repairs.
:01:03. > :01:11.Fired in flat this time and he can't quite stretch enough. It was Ayew
:01:12. > :01:13.who got it across the back post. A nice touch. Clark had to change the
:01:14. > :01:27.direction of his run. Alan Hutton down, a free. It's not
:01:28. > :01:32.stretching it much to say Alan Hutton has been Villa's best
:01:33. > :01:38.attacking threat. Just a bump and a barge from Ben Watson. Bottom of the
:01:39. > :01:40.league, only five points from 13 games, and yet listened to that.
:01:41. > :01:52.They are willing the ball into the net. It Veretout, delivered the
:01:53. > :01:56.Richards. -- delivered to Richards. Aston Villa's captain scores his
:01:57. > :02:01.first ever Aston Villa goal. What mood changer and what a stroke of
:02:02. > :02:06.luck for Aston Villa. It as though when the ball is struck, Richards is
:02:07. > :02:15.just offside. No matter, it counts, and it's a huge goal for Remi
:02:16. > :02:24.Garde's team. Aston Villa one, Watford one. Now we get some emotion
:02:25. > :02:30.from the French man. Trying to tease one away from Gomes. Here is Gil.
:02:31. > :02:36.Couldn't look up, couldn't get the ball away to shoot. Gomes has a
:02:37. > :02:40.problem. Waving frantically to the referee Lee Mason for some
:02:41. > :02:45.assistance. Play will stop. There has been a clattering from Cathcart.
:02:46. > :02:50.It's the left leg that makes strongest contact, right on the top
:02:51. > :02:58.of the Brazilian keeper's head. These are worrying scenes. Its
:02:59. > :03:02.expert medical care that is needed for Gomes, who was in no doubt
:03:03. > :03:08.straightaway that he had a real problem. It's good to see that he
:03:09. > :03:12.was never out, but there can be no chances taken at all. We do of
:03:13. > :03:17.course wish only the very Best of Heurelho Gomes, let's hope that he
:03:18. > :03:18.is up and fighting fit as soon as possible and that the medical staff
:03:19. > :03:26.are just being ultra-careful. Who will settle into a better rhythm
:03:27. > :03:45.most quickly, after such a delay? Watson finds Deeney. Deeney, through
:03:46. > :03:52.to Ighalo, and it's then. I think that might be an own goal. It's in
:03:53. > :04:00.Guzan's goal. And Watford have a 2-1 lead at Villa Park. Watson to Deeney
:04:01. > :04:06.Ighalo onside, but it didn't look as though he got a touch. No, it's Alan
:04:07. > :04:10.Hutton on the stretch. Button with the Pope passed Guzan. Once again,
:04:11. > :04:15.it's a fair summation in one flick of the ball of how Aston Villa's
:04:16. > :04:19.luck goes. He might just have condemned them to another defeat. A
:04:20. > :04:35.lot for Remi Garde to think about. Hutton has given it the Ake. Bounces
:04:36. > :04:41.to Ighalo. Richards stops the shot and incomes Troy Deeney to do what
:04:42. > :04:45.he wanted to do, score against Villa at the Holte End. Three goals for
:04:46. > :04:48.Watford and it should mean three points for Watford. Villa couldn't
:04:49. > :04:59.get it away. They tried and tried and failed. Ighalo was given the
:05:00. > :05:04.time to shoot. It bounces off Richards and its Deeney who jumps
:05:05. > :05:08.above home. Started out at Aston Villa, was deemed not good enough to
:05:09. > :05:13.make the grade with them. Was always a Birmingham fan, and he's waited a
:05:14. > :05:16.long time for that moment in his career and it's put Watford and Kike
:05:17. > :05:23.Sola chess Flores in charge of this game.
:05:24. > :05:43.Given a bit of room in the Watford box, and he has scored. That was
:05:44. > :05:49.smashed in by Ayew. A bit of anger and intent in that. Watford guilty
:05:50. > :05:53.of being a little too casual and standing off defensively here. Look
:05:54. > :05:59.at the time Ayew had. Brilliantly finished. Aston Villa two, Watford
:06:00. > :06:02.three. I think the performance of the players was amazing. They played
:06:03. > :06:08.really well, they made and had pressure even we had more, so we
:06:09. > :06:13.scored three goals and we're happy. Troy, you said I think this tongue
:06:14. > :06:18.in cheek you wanted to make the Holte End swear at you. Did they?
:06:19. > :06:23.Yes, they did from the warm up, to be fair. I expected it. This is my
:06:24. > :06:30.city, this is where I'm from and I expected it. If we didn't score and
:06:31. > :06:35.we lost I'm sure we'd have a weekend of it and it's my turn to give it.
:06:36. > :06:41.It's difficult, I thought we deserved a better result. We never
:06:42. > :06:44.had the chance to lead in that game and we had always to run behind the
:06:45. > :06:50.score and it was difficult for the players to have this confidence. I
:06:51. > :06:56.think that we defended quite poorly and then, when you concede so many
:06:57. > :07:02.goals is difficult to gain some point. Indeed. I know the -- another
:07:03. > :07:09.fabulous day for Watford, and vomitus day for Villa. yes, -- a
:07:10. > :07:14.calamitous day. Villa are gifting goals away and a lot of the words we
:07:15. > :07:18.use to describe Newcastle could be used to describe their defending.
:07:19. > :07:19.It's really basic stuff. They are scruffy goals
:07:20. > :07:23.It's really basic stuff. They are scruffy goals they are conceding. I
:07:24. > :07:26.mean they have chances, this is all too easy, Richards slips may be,
:07:27. > :07:31.give him the benefit of the doubt, but they have a chance to clear it
:07:32. > :07:36.here, he missed kicks it and deflects. They could say it's a bit
:07:37. > :07:39.of bad luck. For me, it's scruffy, it's bad defending. They looked
:07:40. > :07:42.disorganised. They don't look difficult to beat and breakdown. We
:07:43. > :07:48.were talking about how they were going to score goals, today, they
:07:49. > :07:51.created chances but this is a bit of misfortune for Hatton. But it's all
:07:52. > :07:56.a bit last-ditch. They don't look solid. They look easy to play
:07:57. > :08:00.against. The only positive for Villa today was the chances they created.
:08:01. > :08:05.Credit Watford, they played some good stuff at times, and is a
:08:06. > :08:10.mistake from Hutton. This finish from Deeney is tremendous, because
:08:11. > :08:14.his desire to win that above the centre-half says a lot. He should be
:08:15. > :08:18.dying for the course there, Clark. You maybe doesn't see it coming but
:08:19. > :08:22.you have to get up, you know someone will try to get on the end of it.
:08:23. > :08:28.Although Watford were great, Villa were certainly guilty of helping
:08:29. > :08:30.them. Watford, mid-table, 19 points, three away wins, remarkable when you
:08:31. > :08:31.consider the transition three away wins, remarkable when you
:08:32. > :08:35.consider the transition over the summer. Because of Leicester's
:08:36. > :08:38.heroics they are properly not getting enough headlines themselves.
:08:39. > :08:44.When you consider they had 15 new players in the summer, ten different
:08:45. > :08:46.nationalities in that team to date, who says that players need time to
:08:47. > :08:49.settle? A brilliant season so far. Stoke arrived
:08:50. > :08:52.at Sunderland having not conceded a The home side picked up just
:08:53. > :09:11.their second win of the season A good solid defensive performance,
:09:12. > :09:15.very resilient. They took advantage by scoring a breakaway goal in a
:09:16. > :09:21.breakaway goal in a counter move. COMMENTATOR:
:09:22. > :09:26.A precious winner for Sunderland. Is a valuable three points for us. It's
:09:27. > :09:30.the start of a plan and it's come off here tonight for them.
:09:31. > :09:37.Your commentator at the Stadium of Light was Martin Fisher.
:09:38. > :09:44.Jermain Defoe has shaken off a foot injury and makes his first start at
:09:45. > :09:47.the Stadium Of Light in 11 weeks. Yedlin replaces the suspended Billy
:09:48. > :09:51.Jones. Another clean sheet on the road for Jack Butland would see him
:09:52. > :09:57.equally club record set by Gordon Banks Way back in 1970. The visitors
:09:58. > :10:14.are unchanged for the third game in a row. Cabu -- Kaboul looking for a
:10:15. > :10:21.shave. Larsson and Defoe again. Away from Bojan, Defoe fans of that. Just
:10:22. > :10:25.wide. -- Defoe fancies it. That's why Sunderland fans want him
:10:26. > :10:31.starting every week. Comes alive in and around the penalty area.
:10:32. > :10:36.Arnautovic, Peters is to his left. Looking for Walters, what a save.
:10:37. > :10:41.Pantilimon. The best chance by some distance that Stoke City have
:10:42. > :10:45.fashioned so far, and but for Pantilimon they would have brought
:10:46. > :10:49.them the opening goal of the game. Applause all around the Stadium Of
:10:50. > :10:52.Light, not for that saves specifically, but in memory of
:10:53. > :10:58.Sunderland's former goalkeeper Marton Fulop, who sadly passed away
:10:59. > :11:03.earlier in the month. Just the one home victory for Sunderland so far
:11:04. > :11:07.this season. What a victory that 3-0 demolition of Newcastle. They need
:11:08. > :11:11.to start picking up points regularly in front of their own supporters.
:11:12. > :11:14.That's a nice touch from Watmore. Fletcher takes over, Shawcross
:11:15. > :11:18.brings him down and it's a yellow card for the Stoke City captain.
:11:19. > :11:22.There will be Sunderland fans that will have wanted further punishment
:11:23. > :11:26.for Shawcross, but there were plenty of other defenders back there. Does
:11:27. > :11:29.it favour the left foot, all right? It's going to be Van Aanholt, with
:11:30. > :11:41.the left, and the wall stands firm. He hit it and hoped there. Watmore
:11:42. > :11:45.has done well to win a free kick off Shawcross. Remember, Shawcross was
:11:46. > :11:49.booked in the first half and Ryan Shawcross sees yellow for the second
:11:50. > :11:56.time today, and Ryan Shawcross is sent off. What a blow this is the
:11:57. > :12:00.shot -- the Stoke City. It's a nothing ball but Watmore was after
:12:01. > :12:03.it, got ahead to Shawcross, who was caught flat-footed. Did Ryan
:12:04. > :12:12.Shawcross get the first touch, ordered Watmore? -- ordered
:12:13. > :12:18.Watmore? The referee was well positioned, he saw it as a yellow.
:12:19. > :12:22.Shawcross has gone. M'Vila takes, it will drop the Larsson, a bit of a
:12:23. > :12:27.waste. Sunderland on top at the moment in this one. Stoke, who
:12:28. > :12:35.started on the front foot, have gradually lost their rhythm. A
:12:36. > :12:42.little drop the Fletcher. Down for Lens. It's a lovely ball. It's well
:12:43. > :12:48.saved by Butland and M'Vila denied. Butland might be in for a peppering
:12:49. > :12:52.from here on in and it's clumsy from Pieters. Stoke losing a bit of their
:12:53. > :12:58.discipline at the moment. M'Vila with the free kick. Cabu land O Shea
:12:59. > :13:04.are in there, along with the likes of Fletcher and it's turned behind.
:13:05. > :13:13.Sunderland will get another corner. M'Vila pulse this one short.
:13:14. > :13:23.Stoke can't rebuff the pressure. Good work from quarters. Lens digs
:13:24. > :13:27.out a great cross, what a save from Butland. That's why this fellow has
:13:28. > :13:32.waited so -- has been rated so highly.
:13:33. > :13:53.Add. Hope, given away to Cattermole. Here is Watmore. Johnson, that's a
:13:54. > :13:57.foul by Pieters. Johnson, who will touch it on and it's struck by Van
:13:58. > :14:02.Aanholt will stop it's there. His first-ever Premier League goal. What
:14:03. > :14:13.an important one it might prove to be. Everybody thought Johnson would
:14:14. > :14:17.comb -- coal woman but it's back to Van Aanholt, who rifles one in.
:14:18. > :14:23.Stoke were slow to close him down. It's a bullet of a shot and
:14:24. > :14:31.Sunderland take the lead. Today, Sunderland have looked like a team.
:14:32. > :14:39.They have good shape, they have been difficult to break down.
:14:40. > :14:50.Has to go alone here. And scores! Well, if one player deserved a goal
:14:51. > :14:57.today, it is Duncan Watmore. Next week he receives his degree from
:14:58. > :15:04.Newcastle University. Today, the joy is that of a goalscorer. What a
:15:05. > :15:09.confident finish it was. Now, surely that goal settles the game and gives
:15:10. > :15:11.Sunderland three massive points. Sunderland 2, Stoke City 0.
:15:12. > :15:16.Sunderland three massive points. Sunderland 2, Stoke City 0. When
:15:17. > :15:21.Stoke went down to 10-men and it's not very easy to beat 10-men. They
:15:22. > :15:26.then have to just try and hang on to what they have got and see if they
:15:27. > :15:32.can maybe catch us on the break. We had to be patient. That patience in
:15:33. > :15:34.the end paid off by the fact we produced outstanding quality when we
:15:35. > :15:38.needed it. When you have on the bench have you to be ready at any
:15:39. > :15:42.time. You can't expect to come on in the second-half. Jay was struggling.
:15:43. > :15:46.Is with delighted to get on and make an impact. I got through and
:15:47. > :15:50.thought, there is only one place this is going and hit it as hard as
:15:51. > :15:54.I can low in the corner. Thankfully it came off. We weren't quite at it
:15:55. > :15:57.in the first half. I thought we could have made more use of good
:15:58. > :16:02.opportunities that we had. Didn't move the ball quick enough, in my
:16:03. > :16:06.view. Ryan feels he got a touch on Nick on the ball before hand. The
:16:07. > :16:11.lad maybe has gone down a little bit easy on it. Referee needs to be in a
:16:12. > :16:15.good position and the linesman needs to help him. The linesman I think
:16:16. > :16:21.has given it more than the referee. Tell us about the other celebration
:16:22. > :16:24.coming your way next month? I have my graduation from Newcastle
:16:25. > :16:28.University for my economics degree. I will be gowning up for that. That
:16:29. > :16:34.should be interesting. First-class degree. Most footballers have those,
:16:35. > :16:40.obviously! Goes without saying. He made a difference didn't he? He did.
:16:41. > :16:44.After Jermaine coming off. You think, this is a negative for
:16:45. > :16:49.Sunderland. What happened he took the opportunity brilliantly. It was
:16:50. > :16:52.a great goal from him. His energy and enthusiasm is infectious. The
:16:53. > :16:58.supporters love that. They have taken to him. Really pleased for him
:16:59. > :17:02.a great start. Made a real difference. From Stoke's
:17:03. > :17:06.perspective. Shawcross's red card was a huge turning point? A turning
:17:07. > :17:10.point without doubt. He didn't get punished for that one. He would have
:17:11. > :17:14.if he went down. You can see what Sam thinks about that. He rightly
:17:15. > :17:17.gets a yellow card for this one against Fletcher. Leaves his foot
:17:18. > :17:21.there. No complaints whatsoever from him much you can see. That takes him
:17:22. > :17:25.out deliberately much I don't think this next one is a yellow card at
:17:26. > :17:29.all. I think not every foul is a yellow card. He takes the ball
:17:30. > :17:33.there. Look. There you go. That is why the ball went in that direction.
:17:34. > :17:37.Shawcross tackles him. I didn't think it was a yellow card. Sam is
:17:38. > :17:41.doing well with Sunderland, as you might expect? Do you have to remind
:17:42. > :17:47.me, Gary heaven is doing a fantastic job. Made for that job. OK. You are
:17:48. > :17:50.reluctant, aren't you? OK, we will move on. We are out of time. Thank
:17:51. > :17:53.you very much anyway. Before we leave you, a look at the Barclays
:17:54. > :17:57.Premier League table. Manchester City are back on top
:17:58. > :17:59.of the Premier League. They lead Leicester
:18:00. > :18:01.on goal difference with Crystal Palace move
:18:02. > :18:04.into the top six behind Arsenal and At the bottom, Aston Villa are now
:18:05. > :18:08.seven points adrift of safety. Sunderland have lifted themselves
:18:09. > :18:11.out of the relegation zone at the expense of Newcastle,
:18:12. > :18:19.who also drop below Bournemouth A look at the Sunday papers. No
:18:20. > :18:23.surprise to see one man dominating the back pages. Jamie Vardy's
:18:24. > :18:27.record-breaking exploits take centre stage in the Mail on Sunday.
:18:28. > :18:31.Prominent in the Sunday Times which says Mourinho is still not happy
:18:32. > :18:38.with Eden Hazard's contribution at Chelsea. Both those stories feature
:18:39. > :18:39.in the Sunday Telegraph. It claims that Pepe wants to manage Manchester
:18:40. > :18:43.United. It's been a day of goals -
:18:44. > :18:46.25 in total - but one stands out. Congratulations Jamie Vardy,
:18:47. > :18:49.we hope you're having a party.
