COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!

:00:16.:00:21.

COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!

:00:22.:00:39.

COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!

:00:40.:00:41.

We've left Europe behind to focus on domestic duties.

:00:42.:00:45.

Yes, the Premier League returns after the international break.

:00:46.:00:47.

Alan Shearer and Martin Keown join us in the studio.

:00:48.:00:50.

We begin at Stamford Bridge where leaders Chelsea began

:00:51.:00:54.

They faced Crystal Palace, whose survival chances have been

:00:55.:00:57.

boosted by a run of three straight wins without conceding a goal.

:00:58.:01:00.

Commentary comes from Jonathan Pearce.

:01:01.:01:08.

COMMENTATOR: Eden Hazard returns for Chelsea after missing the Stoke game

:01:09.:01:12.

and the international break with a calf problem. They look for a 14th

:01:13.:01:17.

home win on the spin at the start of the title run in. Can Moses injured,

:01:18.:01:23.

Cesc Fabregas starts. Pedro will fill in at right wingback in a

:01:24.:01:26.

slight formation reshuffle. They have lost once at home to Palace in

:01:27.:01:31.

top-flight football. Times are are bet are for the visitors, three wins

:01:32.:01:38.

in a row. They are unchanged at the start of a very tricky relegation

:01:39.:01:44.

run in. If Zaha repeats his wonder goal for Ivory Coast in Russia or

:01:45.:01:48.

Christian Benteke his two goal Belgium form against the same

:01:49.:01:52.

opponents they could cause the champions elect problems. Black

:01:53.:01:59.

armbands being worn by today's players in remembrance of those who

:02:00.:02:02.

lost their lives in the Westminster terrorist attack. Showed too much of

:02:03.:02:10.

it to Pedro. Fabregas, beautiful diagonal. What a pass that is. 60,

:02:11.:02:16.

70 yards to Eden Hazard. Twisting and turning Ward. Support arriving.

:02:17.:02:24.

To the near-post and 1-0 Chelsea. The lead remembers ahead. Fabregas

:02:25.:02:27.

nipped in and scores after just four minutes. Just the start the leaders

:02:28.:02:34.

wanted. He's popped up with useful goals. He's in the autumn of his

:02:35.:02:39.

career, perhaps. He turns 30 in May, but he's still got aened woerful eye

:02:40.:02:44.

for a pass. As we saw at the start of the move, the timing run and the

:02:45.:02:49.

clip finish perfect. Chelsea 1, Crystal Palace 0. First goal Crystal

:02:50.:02:53.

Palace have conceded in 297 minutes of football.

:02:54.:03:00.

Benteke, stolen away by him from Azpilicueta. He gave it away. Pedro

:03:01.:03:06.

is there to slide in. Got an edge on it. Did well there for Chelsea,

:03:07.:03:16.

Pedro. Good vision. The ball had too much weight on it. Risky in there as

:03:17.:03:23.

well, really. Here's Zaha. He gets the shot away. 1-1. This man is in

:03:24.:03:29.

explosive form. Scored one of the international goals of the year in

:03:30.:03:34.

the international break. He's come back to club football, gets his

:03:35.:03:37.

sixth of the campaign. It was a lovely individual goal. Chelsea's

:03:38.:03:44.

lead lasted less than five minutes. Four blue shirts around him. Goal

:03:45.:03:48.

keep every's vision impaired. Would have seen it very late. He's in

:03:49.:03:53.

terrific form and has been throughout the campaign. Here's

:03:54.:04:04.

Pedro. Townsend got back there with them. It's their first goal in

:04:05.:04:10.

London derbies this season. They are going mad. Will get in trouble

:04:11.:04:15.

because of the flares. Look at this. Benteke on the break, Zaha is up

:04:16.:04:20.

along side him. Luiz socking him. Expecting him to miscontrol it. Zaha

:04:21.:04:25.

plays it back to Benteke. It's 2-1 to Crystal Palace. The leaders got

:04:26.:04:29.

off to the perfect start and it's all turned around. Sensational. Both

:04:30.:04:37.

players, who are in sparkling form for their countries in the break

:04:38.:04:41.

have scored for Crystal Palace. Benteke got a little bit of a lucky

:04:42.:04:48.

break. Back to him though, played in by Zaha. The dink, 2-1 Crystal

:04:49.:04:56.

Palace. 1 minute and 31 second between the goals. She had far fewer

:04:57.:05:03.

players way than the international. Throughout the club Chelsea had 32

:05:04.:05:06.

players away at all levels of international football. 19 of them

:05:07.:05:10.

were with the various England squads. The cross, Townsend should

:05:11.:05:16.

see it out. He didn't. Sloppy defensive play there allows the

:05:17.:05:19.

cross to come in by Pedro. It's steered away.

:05:20.:05:29.

Played in low and flat. Matic. Pedro is arriving. Big appeals there by

:05:30.:05:37.

Chelsea for handball or for a tackle. I think it's handball.

:05:38.:05:49.

Townsend dipped his arm onto it. I wonder what's going through his

:05:50.:05:53.

mind. 35 years ago today he bought Chelsea. 85-year-old Ken Bates. He

:05:54.:05:59.

certainly is the Godfather of modern Chelsea football. Football by

:06:00.:06:14.

Chelsea. Pedro. Hazard's gone wide. Pedro's made the run beyond him into

:06:15.:06:18.

the box. Here's Fabregas - oh, well played. Hazard. Comes to Fabregas,

:06:19.:06:28.

again. Costa, great reaction save. Cleared away Bia Schlupp. Really

:06:29.:06:32.

good stop this by the Palace goalkeeper. Fantastic pass again by

:06:33.:06:36.

Fabregas. Not for the first time in the game. When it comes to Costa,

:06:37.:06:40.

there's just a little bit of a slip. Hennessey had to react smartly,

:06:41.:06:48.

anyway. Fine reaction save. Flipped by Hazard, Costa, alop so. Two in

:06:49.:06:52.

the middle. Has he got a touch to it? Having a good game, Wayne

:06:53.:06:59.

Hennessey, pushed away the cross by Alonso. Made sure it went out.

:07:00.:07:07.

Matic. Almost total domination of the ball by Chelsea, but they're

:07:08.:07:15.

behind. Pedro. Here's Fabregas. Off towards Eden Hazard. Explosive burst

:07:16.:07:20.

of place, blocked by Hennessey again. Near-post block by Eden

:07:21.:07:27.

Hazard. Defensive work by Palace. How tired will they be come the

:07:28.:07:35.

second-half? Second-half? Here's Benteke. Not a good touch of in the

:07:36.:07:47.

end. Costa checks back. Goes to ground. Scott Dann got a good block

:07:48.:07:54.

in. It's not going his way at the moment. Not since Liverpool in

:07:55.:07:59.

September. Has any team gone away with kind of result from Stamford

:08:00.:08:05.

Bridge. Cesar Azpilicueta got there first. Fabregas. Good use of the

:08:06.:08:10.

ball. Diego Costa, a little bit of room. Good block, in the end. Great

:08:11.:08:15.

block by Scott Dann, who is hurt in the block. Diego Costa's has called

:08:16.:08:23.

the referee's attention to it. He saved his team here with the block.

:08:24.:08:31.

He couldn't get the shot away, due to Scott Dann's intervention. Diego

:08:32.:08:34.

Costa, immediately calling the referee's attention to this. Gets a

:08:35.:08:39.

bad press, Diego Costa, he showed sportsmanship there. Change of

:08:40.:08:45.

formation for Crystal Palace. They have gone to a centre-back three.

:08:46.:08:49.

Here is Hazard attacking that trio. First block in. Puncheon won that.

:08:50.:08:55.

Sakho. He looks spied are you on the ball. He is a decent passer of it.

:08:56.:09:00.

Benteke, good strength. Releases Puncheon. Looks for Zaha. In on

:09:01.:09:08.

goal, Zaha. A very good foot by Courtois. Not the greatest save he

:09:09.:09:12.

will make. In the context of this season it could prove to be the most

:09:13.:09:17.

important. A third glow for Crystal Palace would surely have meant

:09:18.:09:20.

curtains for Chelsea today. Big, long leg. Steve Parish made the

:09:21.:09:28.

decision to replace Alan Pardew with Sam Allardyce. At the moment, Palace

:09:29.:09:34.

are edging towards safety. Hazard, lovely balance. Costa, was there a

:09:35.:09:40.

push? The header goes wide anyway. Sakho felt he was pushed. The header

:09:41.:09:45.

did not hit the target. Look at his face there. He knew how big this

:09:46.:09:49.

chance was. I think he was being strong in there as a centre forward.

:09:50.:09:53.

The referee was right to allow that one. Here's Willian. Now to Pedro.

:09:54.:10:00.

Palace have poured players back through the middle quickly. Hazard.

:10:01.:10:06.

Fabregas. Good ball. Pedro drives it. Sakho. A side saving

:10:07.:10:13.

intervention. He's had a terrific game for Crystal Palace, again.

:10:14.:10:23.

Here's Eden Hazard. Azpilicueta. Could have got a shot away. Goes for

:10:24.:10:28.

the chip. Hazard made a good run in there. Still in play. Pedro. Oh,

:10:29.:10:35.

it's come loose. Costa can he finish. Sakho gets it away.

:10:36.:10:41.

Tantalisingly close for Chelsea, but they're still behind. Hasn't had to

:10:42.:10:48.

bite his lip too often this season. Hazard. Sensible ball, Willian.

:10:49.:10:55.

Fabregas, again. Hennessey blocks with his legs. It will not go the in

:10:56.:11:01.

for Chelsea. This is Wayne Hennessey's 11th save of the game.

:11:02.:11:09.

10 minutes of stoppage-time played. What a day this will be for Sam

:11:10.:11:12.

Allardyce and Crystal Palace and a victory would send them very close

:11:13.:11:16.

towards survival. We started the game talking about the potential

:11:17.:11:22.

threat of Zaha and Benteke if they could replicate international form.

:11:23.:11:26.

He certainly has. Man of the Match, scoring the first, creating the

:11:27.:11:30.

second for Benteke. Hennessey a hero in goal, with save after save after

:11:31.:11:36.

save. And Conte's team beaten for the first time at home since

:11:37.:11:39.

September. What a day for Crystal Palace. 2-1 victors at the league

:11:40.:11:45.

leaders. How big a win is that for Crystal Palace? Massive. I don't

:11:46.:11:52.

even know what to say. Just a crazy feeling man. We worked hard and got

:11:53.:11:56.

the win we wanted. You seem almost stunned? Yeah. Because, obviously,

:11:57.:12:01.

they are top of the league. They are playing really well. Obviously,

:12:02.:12:04.

no-one would expect us to come here and beat them at home. So... I can't

:12:05.:12:09.

even describe how I'm feeling. I'm happy man. It's disappointment for

:12:10.:12:16.

the final result. I think we deserve at least the draw. But this is

:12:17.:12:24.

football. We must accept this result. It was really hard against

:12:25.:12:34.

Chelsea. But I think we played with a big heart today and also our fans

:12:35.:12:43.

they give us encouragement. Today we play 12 against 11. Things have been

:12:44.:12:48.

going great this season. We go again Wednesday. Big game. We are in a

:12:49.:12:52.

healthy position in the league. The gap is there. We have a huge game

:12:53.:12:58.

now on Wednesday. A sweet three points to come to what are the

:12:59.:13:01.

champions of the Premier League, for me, and to actually win. Of course,

:13:02.:13:05.

for everybody this is what the Premier League is about. There can

:13:06.:13:11.

be a shock anywhere, any time and we were the ones who have maybe sit up

:13:12.:13:16.

this weekend and go it can wow, what a result that is. From the players

:13:17.:13:20.

point of view a well-earned and well-deserved victory in the in. Not

:13:21.:13:24.

sure everyone at Palace can believe it. Staggering, monumental gutsy

:13:25.:13:31.

display, Martin? Incredible. I was a Palace fan, sat behind the sofa. The

:13:32.:13:37.

defending was heroic. The goalkeeper made so many saves. When I looked at

:13:38.:13:42.

the screens it was one attack from another from an outstanding Chelsea

:13:43.:13:45.

team. They did everything right. To get the goals they needed it could

:13:46.:13:51.

have been a cricket score of goals for Chelsea, the chances they had.

:13:52.:13:56.

Hendrie be I keeps it out. Like this all afternoon. One player after

:13:57.:14:00.

another. Great determine aation. Dann comes on for Tomkins. He did a

:14:01.:14:06.

great job before him. Great block. Goes off injured, Dann, puts his

:14:07.:14:10.

body on the line. Every player was determined. Delaney comes off the

:14:11.:14:14.

bench. Good job they had so many central defenders to call upon.

:14:15.:14:17.

Another good block, one after another. Resilience and a

:14:18.:14:21.

determination. It's Sakho in there, for me, that is the one player who

:14:22.:14:30.

has gelled. Makes it look so easy. He is a real leader. Delaney. One

:14:31.:14:34.

after another. Players getting involved. Milivojevic is a great

:14:35.:14:42.

plus. Sam has done a lot of hard work. Ward, another one. He wants to

:14:43.:14:46.

get challenges in. Kelly coming off the bench. No, Gary, it was

:14:47.:14:51.

absolutely outstanding. What a signing Sakho is proving to be? He S

:14:52.:14:54.

if you look at the statistics since he has been in there. It say it is

:14:55.:14:58.

all. Sometimes you need a player that just pulls the club together.

:14:59.:15:04.

You've been a bit critical of Wilfried Zaha in the past, Allen. Is

:15:05.:15:11.

it time, because the Palace fans say you are getting it wrong about him.

:15:12.:15:17.

Is it time to eat humble pie? Humble pie, or was I correct? Back in

:15:18.:15:20.

September myself and Ian Wright sat here and I said with his ability,

:15:21.:15:24.

because he has got tonnes of it, that he should be producing more,

:15:25.:15:28.

and the stats backed me up then. But when you compare it to this season,

:15:29.:15:32.

he's having by far his best season of his career. He's now goals,

:15:33.:15:38.

assists and today, without doubt, he was Man of the Match. He drove his

:15:39.:15:42.

team forward with his energy and skill, to go past players, Kante

:15:43.:15:48.

fouls him and they really could not cope with him today. He got an

:15:49.:15:54.

excellent goal, wins the ball back here. It's his determination to get

:15:55.:15:58.

through their, the strength to get through and it's one hell of finish.

:15:59.:16:02.

The keeper has got absolutely no chance at all. Look at him getting

:16:03.:16:06.

forward there, the drive. He gets the ball and plays a lovely ball

:16:07.:16:10.

back in to Benteke here. It's a clever finish. Really clever finish.

:16:11.:16:16.

Takes a touch and exit over the goalkeeper, but set up by the half.

:16:17.:16:21.

Again, driving his team forward, what a save this is. Down on goal,

:16:22.:16:25.

they could not cope with him all afternoon. Whatever he did, he did

:16:26.:16:30.

incredibly well. You can see the confidence that he's now got here.

:16:31.:16:35.

Look at that for a piece of skill. I love this. Brilliant. Without doubt,

:16:36.:16:40.

he was Man of the Match and his playing was confident. Palace's day,

:16:41.:16:44.

no doubt and things went for them as well. Should Chelsea have had a

:16:45.:16:49.

penalty with Townsend's hand ball? I think the referee will be

:16:50.:16:52.

disappointed, he wasn't in the best of positions and for me, it's

:16:53.:16:56.

definitely hand ball. From that angle, no, but you see this,

:16:57.:16:59.

Townsend has definitely got away with one here. That was maybe the

:17:00.:17:05.

luck they deserved on the day, because they were manful enough in

:17:06.:17:06.

their performance. . Everton fans partied

:17:07.:17:10.

like it was 1999 the last time they won at Anfield -

:17:11.:17:12.

that's because it was 1999. Ronald Koeman's side kicked off

:17:13.:17:15.

the Merseyside Derby in seventh place, six points behind Liverpool

:17:16.:17:17.

who were looking to ANNOUNCER: We have a minute's

:17:18.:17:38.

silence. COMMENTATOR:

:17:39.:17:44.

The man who prepared teams for many Reds the Blues meetings, let's have

:17:45.:17:49.

this, the 228 does his memory proud. For the Liverpool off today, Lovren

:17:50.:17:53.

is selective head of Klavan defence, with Lucas coming in for the injured

:17:54.:17:57.

Lallana. The only other change from two weeks ago at city. Eight useful

:17:58.:18:04.

Everton team includes Matthew Pennington, playing for the first

:18:05.:18:09.

time all season, along with Mason Holgate and Calvert-Lewin and the

:18:10.:18:14.

teenage talents of Tom Davies. Does form go out of the window for

:18:15.:18:18.

derbies? With both teams in fine fettle before the international

:18:19.:18:22.

break, let's hope not. Caught by Ross Barkley in a challenge that has

:18:23.:18:30.

sparked a bit of Liverpool anger, and a major flash point in the

:18:31.:18:34.

previous meetings of these two sides because of the Bartley tackle and

:18:35.:18:39.

he's going to be so broken to now. -- Barkley tackle and he's going to

:18:40.:18:43.

be spoken to now. Just words, rather than having his name taken. He's

:18:44.:18:47.

never going to quite get there, is it? At full stretch, not full

:18:48.:18:50.

enough. Mane is very sharp in getting the

:18:51.:19:04.

ball. Mane on it again. Mane has a goal underscores! -- he has a go,

:19:05.:19:13.

and scores. Scored by the man who won the derby at Goodison December.

:19:14.:19:17.

That one came late. This one has come very early. He started it.

:19:18.:19:23.

Quick to the ball. Strong enough to hold off Davies and with Coutinho

:19:24.:19:29.

diverted attention, Mane was free to wander into a place from which he

:19:30.:19:34.

could score. Three Everton defenders, Holgate actually was

:19:35.:19:38.

taken out by one of his own. Liverpool one, Everton nil.

:19:39.:19:48.

Can looks for Coutinho, only Firmino up with him at the moment. Wijnaldum

:19:49.:19:56.

arriving. Coutinho goes by himself. A super-sized by Robles. Headed away

:19:57.:20:01.

from the goal by Jagielka. A big save, this. Lovely pass from Emre

:20:02.:20:11.

Can. Coutinho, the drop of the shoulder there, breezed past

:20:12.:20:14.

Pennington to find the space from which to shoot.

:20:15.:20:21.

Baines arriving. Calvert-Lewin. Off Nathaniel Clyne, Everton have a

:20:22.:20:29.

corner. It's slotted home! Matthew

:20:30.:20:45.

Pennington has equalised for Everton, out of nowhere! His first

:20:46.:20:49.

senior goal. What a game to get it in! It is the run from Jagielka that

:20:50.:20:53.

caused the problem. Emre Can unable to go with him. His touch on,

:20:54.:20:59.

Williams 40 had the chance, Lovren prevented that. Watch the movement

:21:00.:21:04.

of Pennington, he's watching the ball all the time. He arrived in the

:21:05.:21:07.

right place at the right time. The defender from Warrington, he's made

:21:08.:21:13.

it in the Merseyside derby, Liverpool one, Everton one.

:21:14.:21:27.

Coutinho! Everton weren't level for long. Liverpool have their lead

:21:28.:21:37.

back. I moment of magic from Phillippe Coutinho. Given far too

:21:38.:21:44.

much space in the first instance. A little shimmy and burst of pace took

:21:45.:21:50.

him away from Gueye. There was no stopping the shot. Goals beautifully

:21:51.:21:55.

into the corner. Liverpool two, Everton one. If Everton's

:21:56.:21:59.

goal-scorer was a surprise, the two on target for Liverpool aren't.

:22:00.:22:01.

First Mane, now Coutinho. Emre Can being held onto by

:22:02.:22:10.

Williams. Advantage indicated for Liverpool.

:22:11.:22:17.

Emre Can stayed down for a little while after that charge from

:22:18.:22:32.

Williams. The defender stood on him after fouling him and the referee

:22:33.:22:36.

noted it was a foul. He indicated advantage. He didn't see what

:22:37.:22:38.

followed. Just played that too far in front of

:22:39.:22:47.

himself and as he followed through, he caught Lovren hard. Anthony

:22:48.:22:53.

Taylor is saying that is your second challenge. He might have been booked

:22:54.:22:57.

for the first one. He is getting carded for this one and I think

:22:58.:23:01.

Liverpool, on another day, it might have been more than a yellow. He

:23:02.:23:06.

caught Lovren the bottom of the ankle, top of the foot. If we slow

:23:07.:23:10.

it down, it doesn't look good for Ross Barkley. You think about the

:23:11.:23:14.

first tackle, I think that maybe he is fortunate to still be playing a

:23:15.:23:16.

full, active role in the game. Lucas came rushing in. That will be

:23:17.:23:29.

a free kick for Everton. Jurgen Klopp and from an coma not going to

:23:30.:23:32.

get pretty close to one another down on the touchline -- Jurgen Klopp and

:23:33.:23:39.

Ronald Koeman. Martin Atkinson stands tall between them. Not just

:23:40.:23:42.

the two Main men getting involved. You can see the fitness coach

:23:43.:23:44.

telling Jurgen Klopp to calm down. Calvert-Lewin has won a free kick

:23:45.:24:02.

for his team. It's going to be Ross Barkley to take charge of what

:24:03.:24:07.

happens next. Liverpool trying to push every Everton player as far

:24:08.:24:10.

away from their goal as they can, but what a good delivery it is and

:24:11.:24:14.

it's held onto by Mignolet, with Liverpool wide open there. Well

:24:15.:24:20.

played in. All the movement was right. Williams got to it but didn't

:24:21.:24:24.

get enough connection to get it across to Lukaku, or even better

:24:25.:24:27.

than that, to find a way past Mignolet. Collected by Milner.

:24:28.:24:43.

He desperately wanted to shoot and it just arrived at Coutinho too

:24:44.:24:49.

quickly. He couldn't sort its feet out it into an open goal. Emre Can

:24:50.:24:53.

always looking for the angle. Straight to Davies. Everton have

:24:54.:25:08.

overplayed. Now they do get out. A bit more than that, with

:25:09.:25:11.

Calvert-Lewin taking on Matip. He does really well. Liverpool have an

:25:12.:25:16.

issue at the other end with Sadio Mane still down. This is the tackle

:25:17.:25:21.

from Baines, that caused the problem. It's the backlight that

:25:22.:25:25.

catches him and then I think he treads on him inadvertently, with

:25:26.:25:28.

Mane's wait already on that foot. Oh, that's a painful looking one.

:25:29.:25:35.

Divock Origi is ready to come on for Liverpool. He was a scorer in this

:25:36.:25:40.

fixture in April of last year. Rather different game, Liverpool

:25:41.:25:41.

four, Everton nil. He has adopted the central role

:25:42.:25:51.

since coming on, with Firmino going right into the space vacated by

:25:52.:25:52.

Mane. Coutinho, a little step over and

:25:53.:26:08.

he's away from Gueye. Now it's really. It might be all over. That's

:26:09.:26:13.

the loudest noise of the day at Anfield. Coutinho again heavily

:26:14.:26:24.

involved. A past that took Ashley Williams out of the game. It

:26:25.:26:29.

presented Divock Origi with the opportunity to score and he has one

:26:30.:26:34.

look to see where Robles is going and whacks the ball effortlessly

:26:35.:26:37.

past him. Liverpool three, Everton one. Jagielka, Williams. Williams

:26:38.:26:51.

loses it. It's going to be a yellow card for Ashley Williams for the

:26:52.:26:54.

challenge on Emre Can. Williams actually seemed to stand on the

:26:55.:26:58.

ball, partially. You can see the marks.

:26:59.:27:02.

Up towards Lukaku. Lovren had slipped. Nobody realised. A big hand

:27:03.:27:09.

from Mignolet. Good ball in and a missed chance,

:27:10.:27:23.

and a golden chance. Mason Holgate passes it up. Lukaku in another

:27:24.:27:31.

moment might have continued their himself. It was Holgate with the

:27:32.:27:36.

initial drive. When that comes back in he finds himself with as free

:27:37.:27:40.

header as you are likely to get. Now Nathaniel Clyne finds

:27:41.:27:42.

Alexander-Arnold. Emre Can has given Gareth Barry the

:27:43.:27:51.

slip. Alexander-Arnold wants it, take it on and it's pulled clear by

:27:52.:27:59.

Robles. That would be a day. With two young defenders scoring at the

:28:00.:28:04.

Kop end. It might well have been goal bound. It was always curling

:28:05.:28:08.

away from that far post. Two wonderful goals, outstanding goals,

:28:09.:28:14.

all three of them. Conceding a goal after a set piece, you could see, we

:28:15.:28:21.

lose one challenge so two box and one challenge will stop all the

:28:22.:28:27.

problems we had with injuries and then I'm proud about the whole team

:28:28.:28:33.

and of course also proud about the young players. It's nice to put in a

:28:34.:28:36.

performance as well but ultimately you need the result and give the

:28:37.:28:39.

fans bragging rights for another six months or one of the next fixture

:28:40.:28:43.

comes up. As there should be in a derby there were plenty of tackles.

:28:44.:28:48.

But some of those a bit much today? From both sides also tackles, maybe

:28:49.:28:54.

a bit more than yellow, but it's up to Liverpool, I don't mean the

:28:55.:28:58.

manager but one of the coaches, the referee had to show eight red cards

:28:59.:29:04.

and I don't like that behaviour. I'm still a guest in this country so

:29:05.:29:08.

that's how it is. I like a lovely -- I like and love being here but how

:29:09.:29:12.

can I decide what's OK and what's not OK? I asked one time and

:29:13.:29:16.

somebody told me that the England, so if you saw something, say it. If

:29:17.:29:19.

not, be quiet. We'll say it in a minute. A

:29:20.:29:30.

comfortable victory for Liverpool. They seemed to cope with the -- the

:29:31.:29:34.

didn't seem to cope with the Reds' front three. They seemed to be stuck

:29:35.:29:39.

up whether to press or sit off, particularly Coutinho, they didn't

:29:40.:29:43.

get it right, Everton. He's got some ability. He's a very difficult

:29:44.:29:47.

player to pick up. But that's what I mean, there. Defenders have to be

:29:48.:29:51.

tight there, have to get closer to the forwards than what they are,

:29:52.:29:55.

because once you get and give this guy time to run at you, to get into

:29:56.:29:59.

the box and pick his head up and it's very difficult to mark him.

:30:00.:30:05.

Pennington didn't get tight at all their, a little give and go. Very,

:30:06.:30:10.

very clever play. He's got you where he wants you, but you in the box.

:30:11.:30:16.

You can't touch him. That was a warning to them. They got away with

:30:17.:30:19.

that one, but it was happening all the time. This time it's Firmino

:30:20.:30:26.

there. A simple ball in, take a touch, turn. It's a brilliant finish

:30:27.:30:31.

from Mane, it really is superb. A clever finish. They can't touch in

:30:32.:30:36.

the box. The keeper has got absolutely no chance. It was

:30:37.:30:39.

staggering, how many times it was happening. It was brilliant play

:30:40.:30:44.

from him. Look, he knows once he's running at you there, you are not

:30:45.:30:47.

going to stop him. In the box and what a hell of a finish that is, the

:30:48.:30:51.

keeper has no chance. Second half, didn't change. The same thing

:30:52.:30:56.

happened. They played three at the back and seemed a bit confused as to

:30:57.:30:59.

whether to get tight on them, but it was like men against boys for a lot

:31:00.:31:06.

of the game today. Liverpool were far superior than Everton and

:31:07.:31:06.

thoroughly deserved three points. Both managers referenced the

:31:07.:31:16.

challenges in that game, Ronald Koeman said he wasn't happy can

:31:17.:31:22.

Jurgen Klopp's dug-out. We have seen Gerrard and people over the years

:31:23.:31:26.

make the challenges. This looks naughty to me. The heel coming in

:31:27.:31:30.

from Barkley. He needs to be clever with this, Barkley. Some of his

:31:31.:31:38.

tackling is not really on. He's a young lad, bone shattering tackle.

:31:39.:31:42.

He takes his own team-mate out afterwards. You want to see those

:31:43.:31:46.

tackles. He got booked for that, riepthly so. I don't think there is

:31:47.:31:54.

anything in that really. You saw Mings stamping on someone recently.

:31:55.:31:57.

That is not the same thing. Nothing doing there. That is really, when

:31:58.:32:04.

you see this from the other angle. Lovren's leg bends back. I think

:32:05.:32:08.

he's trying to protect himself. Doing so - he is lucky not to have

:32:09.:32:12.

gone for that. He gets booked. He maybe should have been booked

:32:13.:32:16.

earlier in the game. This is Ashley Williams. When you see this in

:32:17.:32:22.

slow-mo, really nasty. He goes over the ball there. Catches him actually

:32:23.:32:26.

with his right leg. You see it, right on the knee. That's what -

:32:27.:32:31.

that's the sort of thing you see. Merseyside Derby I suppose? It is.

:32:32.:32:37.

You have to be careful there. He was right, Koeman was right, there will

:32:38.:32:39.

be those sort of tackles in this game. Romelu Lukaku was quiet today?

:32:40.:32:45.

Premier League top-scorer thchl is how you handle him. They didn't give

:32:46.:32:50.

him a sniff the whole game. Lucas was in front protecting him. They

:32:51.:33:00.

bullied him, to be honest. Look who is in front, Lucas. That happened

:33:01.:33:05.

all game, time and time again. Lukaku, slow to react there. Lovren

:33:06.:33:10.

is in there, quicker than him. They didn't give him a sniff at all he

:33:11.:33:17.

had no efforts on goal. There is that man again, just protecting.

:33:18.:33:20.

Snuffing that ball out before it gets to him. Should actually do

:33:21.:33:25.

better here. Look at the men in and around him. Not a kick all

:33:26.:33:31.

afternoon. When that happens. , you tend to drift out wide because you

:33:32.:33:34.

are not getting as many touches as you want. That is what he started to

:33:35.:33:38.

do later on in the game. In the end, he was putting the crosses in.

:33:39.:33:44.

Dominated today. Nothing from him at all. Very much Liverpool's day.

:33:45.:33:47.

COMMENTATOR: Sissoko following in! He's wide! Gray, oh! It's Martial's

:33:48.:34:11.

header. Rodriguez. Good save, Boruc. To Turf Moor next, where Burnley

:34:12.:34:17.

were defending a six game unbeaten run at home against second placed

:34:18.:34:20.

Spurs, who've not lost to a team COMMENTATOR: Michael Keane takes his

:34:21.:34:31.

place in an unchanged team fresh from his first taste of

:34:32.:34:34.

international football. He became the first Burnley player to start

:34:35.:34:39.

for England since Martin Dobson back in 1974. In a continued absence of

:34:40.:34:53.

Spurs's top score, Kane. Son is on the bench having played 90 minutes

:34:54.:34:57.

for Seoul on Tuesday. Very tight in there. No way through

:34:58.:35:17.

for Burnley. It's been that type of game thus far. Dele Alli. Eriksen.

:35:18.:35:26.

He has Janssen up alongside him. Eriksen, he's round Ben Mee. Beaten

:35:27.:35:32.

away. Dele Alli came in and couldn't finish it off. He's had a golden

:35:33.:35:37.

touch recently. 11 goals in his last 12 Premier League games. That is the

:35:38.:35:42.

closest either team have come to breaking the deadlock. Pushed out

:35:43.:35:48.

Heaton. Dele Alli came in. He scored in each of his last four games in

:35:49.:35:53.

all competitions. He will be disappointed, and so will he, that

:35:54.:36:00.

he hasn't made it five. Can Tottenham break? Winks. He's got

:36:01.:36:08.

Trippier to his right. Dispossessed by Ward. Lovely play from the

:36:09.:36:18.

Irishman. Now, Harry Winks, in his attempts to get to that, went

:36:19.:36:22.

tumbling off the pitch and looks in a lot of pain towards the Burnley

:36:23.:36:33.

dug-out. 0-0 at the break. We hope that that that doesn't look as

:36:34.:36:44.

serious as it is for Harry Winks. Tottenham trying to prise an opening

:36:45.:36:50.

out of Burnley. That's better from them though. Dele Alli. Sissoko -

:36:51.:36:55.

dreadful touch from the Frenchman. It's come back out to Eriksen. Now

:36:56.:37:07.

Davies. Janssen. Ben Davies, terrific stop from Heaton. Wonderful

:37:08.:37:10.

reflexes from the Burnley goalkeeper. Well Tom Heaton has kept

:37:11.:37:17.

five clean sheets at home this season. This is why today's is still

:37:18.:37:26.

intact. Had to be on his toes. The effort from Ben Davies and Ben Mee

:37:27.:37:33.

completed the clearance. Hendrick. A risky ball to him. Broken to

:37:34.:37:38.

Janssen. Up against Ben Mee. He's still going, Janssen. Then it came

:37:39.:37:45.

to Sissoko. A lack of composure when it really was required. Sissoko, who

:37:46.:37:51.

prior to today has only played 58 minutes of Premier League football

:37:52.:37:54.

this year. That was a wild effort from the Frenchman, who still hasn't

:37:55.:37:59.

scored for Spurs. Hi wasn't close to changing it there. Here's Trippier.

:38:00.:38:09.

He's overhit that. Davies to get it back across, then put behind by Joey

:38:10.:38:14.

Barton. Tottenham corner count is up to seven. 25 minutes to go. Eriksen

:38:15.:38:29.

with it. All the way through. An opportunity and in! From Eric Dier.

:38:30.:38:36.

It could be a big goal for Tottenham. It's his first Premier

:38:37.:38:41.

League goal since December 2015. It's a most welcome one in this

:38:42.:38:46.

game. Burnley didn't deal with it. Poor clearance from Hendrick. A calm

:38:47.:38:52.

finish from Dier. Passed it into the net. Look what it means to Mauricio

:38:53.:39:01.

Pochettino. Aimed towards Vokes. Keane, on the turn. Couldn't quite

:39:02.:39:11.

keep it down. He's scored a couple of Premier League goals this season,

:39:12.:39:23.

Michael Keane. On his left foot, just miscued it. Won back by

:39:24.:39:30.

Eriksen. From Joey Barton. Dele Alli. In towards Son. 2-0 Tottenham.

:39:31.:39:43.

Heung-Min Son with his eighth Premier League goal of the season,

:39:44.:39:50.

which could seal an 18th win of the season. With just 12 minutes to

:39:51.:39:59.

play. Full credit to Eriksen winning that challenge from Joey Barton and

:40:00.:40:03.

finding Dele Alli. What about the awareness here? Wonderful ball from

:40:04.:40:08.

Dele Alli. The south Korean international couldn't miss. Burnley

:40:09.:40:20.

0, Spurs 2. Son to Sissoko. That's in towards Eriksen. Dele Alli.

:40:21.:40:29.

Wonderful effort. Spurs with a real spring in their step now. Just tried

:40:30.:40:37.

to clip that towards the far corner. Certainly had Tom Heaton stretching.

:40:38.:40:46.

That came off Hendrick. It's fallen to Son. He knew Dele Alli was there.

:40:47.:40:56.

This to seal it, once and for all. Dele Alli. And it still won't go in

:40:57.:41:03.

for him. Again, it was sloppy from Burnley in the build-up. Good

:41:04.:41:08.

awareness from Son. Just right across the face, in the end. How

:41:09.:41:13.

important was your goal when it came in the second-half? Very important.

:41:14.:41:19.

Yeah, you know, I was really happy just to get a goal, to be honest.

:41:20.:41:23.

It's been a while? It's been a while. I was getting more worried I

:41:24.:41:26.

wasn't going to get one. Yeah, I needed a bit of luck, it bounced

:41:27.:41:31.

down in front of me. Yeah, you know, it's so hard to come here and we

:41:32.:41:36.

knew it was going to be tough. We had the right attitude. Up until

:41:37.:41:40.

their first goal I thought it was a tight affair. We gave a good

:41:41.:41:44.

performance, solid. Kept them using the lines of pass they like tochl

:41:45.:41:47.

they like to rotate and shift the ball quickly between the units. I

:41:48.:41:50.

thought we kept that to a minimum. We created good chances. Good

:41:51.:41:54.

positions rather than chances. That is something we have to add to, that

:41:55.:41:59.

final moment of quality. 27 points tloeft play for, seven point gap.

:42:00.:42:02.

People were calling them champions-elect. Is this champion

:42:03.:42:08.

race back on? Seven points is completely different to ten. It's

:42:09.:42:15.

still a lot of work to do. It's not depending on us, it's depending on

:42:16.:42:21.

if Chelsea fade. We can be there to the end of the season and try to

:42:22.:42:27.

fight for the title, of course. Things have livened up a tad. A few

:42:28.:42:32.

injuries Tottenham have, no Harry Kane. Spurs marching on? Seven

:42:33.:42:37.

league games without Harry Kane this season. It was always going to be

:42:38.:42:41.

tough at Burnley with their home record. They didn't really miss him

:42:42.:42:46.

today. They went four at the back in the second-half. They were dominant.

:42:47.:42:50.

This is the first half. They did create a lot of chances. That was

:42:51.:42:54.

the only one in the first half. The second-half they were totally

:42:55.:42:59.

dominant. Davies, this time, good save from Heaton. This time Sissoko.

:43:00.:43:04.

Wild slice. Should actually hit the target. This is a goal from Dier.

:43:05.:43:11.

Gets away from Keane. Takes the touch. Time to do that. Picks his

:43:12.:43:16.

spot well. Eriksen winning the ball in midfield. Lovely ball through to

:43:17.:43:22.

Dier. To Dele Alli, I should say. What a ball that is for a tap-in for

:43:23.:43:28.

Son who came on as sub. It was chance after chance and should have

:43:29.:43:32.

been a few more. Dele Alli, again. He gets in on goal. Scuffs it wide.

:43:33.:43:36.

It was a big test for Tottenham that today. They passed with flying

:43:37.:43:39.

colours again. Gap down to seven points, Martin. A tad more

:43:40.:43:44.

interesting for us neutrals. Can it be done? I don't think it can be.

:43:45.:43:48.

This team, Tottenham, have been brilliant since the turn of the

:43:49.:43:51.

year. More points than any other team. They have tough ones. Chelsea

:43:52.:43:56.

and the next few games? Exactly. You never know. Semi-final to come. The

:43:57.:44:03.

two best teams, without doubt. A good result for them today.

:44:04.:44:08.

Hull, who began the day three points from safety,

:44:09.:44:10.

welcomed West Ham to the KCOM Stadium.

:44:11.:44:12.

The Hammers have lost three on the spin, leading to speculation

:44:13.:44:14.

Hernandez starts for Hull City despite only returning from

:44:15.:44:28.

international duty with Uruguay yesterday morning. His first-ever

:44:29.:44:30.

Premier League goal came here against West Ham, but he is

:44:31.:44:35.

currently suffering a seven-game goal drought. Robert Snodgrass

:44:36.:44:38.

returns for his former stomping ground yet to score in Everton Blues

:44:39.:44:44.

insist ?10 million move in January, but he remains Hull City's top

:44:45.:44:47.

scorer for the campaign with seven strikes.

:44:48.:44:54.

Clucas picked out Elmohamady, took a while to see if he backed himself

:44:55.:45:00.

with the pass but he's found the pass. Elmohamady has forced a corner

:45:01.:45:05.

off Cresswell. The first corner of the game. Hull City have scored in

:45:06.:45:09.

all of their games here since Marco Silva replaced Mike Phelan in early

:45:10.:45:13.

January. Markovic, the Serbian, to take. Struck a West Ham face, but

:45:14.:45:25.

away by Fonte. Feghouli couldn't clear his lines. It's Clucas for

:45:26.:45:30.

Hull. Cresswell is there, but under pressure from Niasse, who's done

:45:31.:45:34.

brilliantly. Now Markovic, he can go back to Niasse. A decent cross and

:45:35.:45:41.

its behind by Fonte, on the slide. Suddenly a bit of pressure on the

:45:42.:45:47.

West Ham defence here. Ten points out of a possible 12 in the Premier

:45:48.:45:49.

League here for Marco Silva. Davies chose to head it away but has

:45:50.:46:02.

conceded possession cheaply to Feghouli. Snodgrass has taken up a

:46:03.:46:06.

great position in the middle. What a chance for Robert Snodgrass on his

:46:07.:46:10.

return to the KCOM Stadium. It bounced perfectly to invite the

:46:11.:46:15.

header, but he couldn't beat Jakupovic. Was the offside? The flag

:46:16.:46:22.

stayed down nearside. Slaven Bilic, the latest Premier League manager to

:46:23.:46:25.

come under criticism this week. It's his job is safe? -- is his job safe?

:46:26.:46:37.

Cresswell getting forward. Carroll puts it home. His 50th Premier

:46:38.:46:45.

League goal. He celebrates with the opening strike. Curtis Davies will

:46:46.:46:54.

not want to see this again. Carroll just dripping in behind Davies here.

:46:55.:47:01.

Davies misjudged it. Carroll had time to wing it down and steer it

:47:02.:47:05.

beyond Jakupovic. Not only successful Hull at home, Marco

:47:06.:47:09.

Silva, he's actually not lost a home game in over three years for his

:47:10.:47:13.

various clubs. That's 38 games in total. Cresswell's delivery. Cleared

:47:14.:47:23.

as far as Lanzini. Jakupovic makes a very good save. Lanzini has really

:47:24.:47:31.

stepped up and he's weighed in with seven goals this season and that was

:47:32.:47:36.

heading home and but for the outstretched left hand of Jakupovic,

:47:37.:47:39.

West Ham boss might lead would have doubled. A change made by Marco

:47:40.:47:44.

Silva at half-time. Hull City have changed their formation to a rather

:47:45.:47:50.

bold looking for- to- four, it underlines the importance of Hull

:47:51.:47:52.

City getting something out of this game. Hull desperately need more

:47:53.:47:59.

quality from Markovic. He's found Hernandez and he's picked out

:48:00.:48:05.

Rosicky. Here -- Grosicki. Here's Robertson. Superbly taken! His

:48:06.:48:11.

first-ever Premier League goal and it might just be a building block as

:48:12.:48:15.

Hull City try to preserve their Premier League status. Markovic

:48:16.:48:20.

started it. At last they are moving the ball quickly and accurately.

:48:21.:48:24.

Robertson bombing forward. Suddenly there's space and there a calmness

:48:25.:48:29.

about is finish that belies the fact that that is its first-ever Premier

:48:30.:48:34.

League goal. Tuck it away quite beautifully and he stepped up when

:48:35.:48:39.

his club needed him today. Suddenly Marco Silva's team show a bit of

:48:40.:48:44.

fight about them. Snodgrass, you still feel he will have some part to

:48:45.:48:48.

play in this contest. He is looking for Carroll. It's a good job for

:48:49.:48:52.

Jakupovic that the header was straight at him. You feel it would

:48:53.:49:02.

have been to- one, West Ham. -- 2-1. Here come Hull City again, it's

:49:03.:49:07.

Niasse up against fog again. It will come to N'Diaye, what a chance,

:49:08.:49:16.

against the post. He's wide. Oh, we'll Hull City rue those

:49:17.:49:19.

opportunities come the final whistle? Suddenly there are huge

:49:20.:49:23.

gaps in the West Ham rearguard. Niasse could have fed it to N'Diaye

:49:24.:49:28.

but chose the wrong option. It felt for the Senegalese, who found the

:49:29.:49:31.

woodwork and Grosicki couldn't even do that. These could be vital

:49:32.:49:34.

opportunities that Hull City are wasting. Ranocchia, the target is

:49:35.:49:41.

Grosicki, on the blindside of Byron. A chance to cross for Robertson.

:49:42.:49:54.

He's picked out Maloney. All he can do is force a corner off font will

:49:55.:50:05.

-- off Fonte. Hull City were briefly top of the table in August. Headed

:50:06.:50:14.

in by Ranocchia! Andrea Ranocchia, the man from Inter Milan, pulse Hull

:50:15.:50:21.

City in front five minutes from time. Hull City, so ordinary for

:50:22.:50:25.

most of the game, particularly the first half, and Ranocchia charged

:50:26.:50:31.

the near post. He wasn't picked up close enough by Kouyate and it's a

:50:32.:50:36.

lovely deft touch from the Italian. He finds the bottom corner.

:50:37.:50:41.

How important was you got all three points today? Really important. With

:50:42.:50:48.

our stadium and our fans we are strong. Very good, because we start

:50:49.:50:52.

to lose and after, we changed the result. It's important as well. We

:50:53.:50:57.

deserved this result we could find ourselves one nil down and probably

:50:58.:51:05.

deservedly so. A change of formation and personnel, the second half we

:51:06.:51:09.

dominated and we deserved the two points in the end. Teams go through

:51:10.:51:15.

sticky patches. We have a great team, great manager and we will pull

:51:16.:51:23.

through. I can't stop the speculation, except by winning games

:51:24.:51:27.

and getting a point or whatever and we didn't do it. Today,

:51:28.:51:36.

unfortunately, we had a good chance. Of course, we can expect more

:51:37.:51:42.

speculation. Do you even bother to read it? No, I wasn't and I'm not.

:51:43.:51:48.

I'm concentrating on my job and doing the job the best I can. That's

:51:49.:51:52.

it. We'll come to that. A crucial three points for Hull. They were

:51:53.:51:58.

struggling and had a tactical turnaround by Silva. They did, Marco

:51:59.:52:02.

Silva has been playing with three at the back and changed it to four at

:52:03.:52:04.

Silva has been playing with three at the back and changed it to four at

:52:05.:52:06.

half-time, Grosicki coming off the bench made all the difference to

:52:07.:52:10.

them. He hasn't lost a home game in about four years as a manager and he

:52:11.:52:16.

knows how to make changes. Grosicki here, you could say this was an

:52:17.:52:19.

amazing assist and great play here. Robertson getting on the end of this

:52:20.:52:25.

assist, look at the run he's made, but when you see him on the edge of

:52:26.:52:29.

the box, here, I think is going to take it onto his right foot and

:52:30.:52:32.

think about hitting this into the corner. But instead it comes off his

:52:33.:52:38.

foot and it's a fantastic, he passes it from his right foot to his left

:52:39.:52:42.

foot, Robertson, and it's a wonderful finish. You can't take

:52:43.:52:45.

this away from Grosicki, a great ball in. Ranocchia there with a

:52:46.:52:50.

great run. The marking is absolutely terrible from West Ham. They've been

:52:51.:52:54.

really appalled with that, Slaven Bilic hanging onto his job and

:52:55.:52:56.

that's a really easy goal to concede. Andy Carroll, one of the

:52:57.:53:00.

best headers of the ball in the Premier League on the near post.

:53:01.:53:03.

He's been out jumps, easily. He's quite broke -- he's quite mobile,

:53:04.:53:10.

that Ranocchia. Slaven Bilic, under the cosh, is it fair? I think it was

:53:11.:53:16.

always going to be a tough season for them. They suffered with

:53:17.:53:19.

injuries. He's lost his best player, Payet. A new stadium, it's always

:53:20.:53:24.

going to be tough. Their 14th, three points of nine, so I think it's

:53:25.:53:29.

unfair. What they need to do is come out and back him.

:53:30.:53:32.

Two games with an impact at both ends of the table,

:53:33.:53:35.

plus Goal of the Month on Match of the Day 2.

COMMENTATOR: Shaun Bartlett, the long pass from

:54:21.:54:37.

Graham Stuart. He's on the edge of the area and Shaun Bartlett made it

:54:38.:54:40.

first time, left into the bottom corner. Ewan-macro a special goal.

:54:41.:54:50.

Leicester have moved clear of danger after three straight wins under

:54:51.:54:53.

The champions played host to Stoke, who've won just once in their last

:54:54.:54:57.

eight visits to the King Power Stadium.

:54:58.:54:58.

They are all one for now but surely Sir Michael is a shoo-in for the

:54:59.:55:11.

Player of the Year award for the Foxes. -- Schmeichel. Berahino has a

:55:12.:55:18.

lot to do to make him one of the most promising youngsters. His last

:55:19.:55:21.

goal was over 13 months ago but a fresh start at Stoke may yet make

:55:22.:55:29.

him a bargain. Stoke have lost five of their last seven away, though

:55:30.:55:32.

they did get a point at Manchester City, which is no mean achievement.

:55:33.:55:38.

Now Demarai Gray, for Leicester. A chance to move his pace. Ryan

:55:39.:55:44.

Shawcross, straight into the referee's notebook. That's a

:55:45.:55:50.

shocking challenge. Gray is so much quicker than Shawcross but there's

:55:51.:55:53.

absolutely no attempt whatsoever by Ryan Shawcross to even acquaint

:55:54.:55:58.

himself with the ball. If football had an orange card I think it would

:55:59.:56:02.

have been brandished. Leicester have a free kick. Demarai Gray is off the

:56:03.:56:12.

pitch. Then he goes and it's... Kick in the end. -- goalkicker in the

:56:13.:56:19.

end. Huth is chasing the referee, Vardy looking quizzical. It appeared

:56:20.:56:26.

to come off Glen Johnson. First chance was Huth's, then Vardy. It

:56:27.:56:32.

would have cost a lot of money to put the chairman's name on there.

:56:33.:56:41.

Whelan, straight to Danny Drinkwater. Here's Mahrez. Space

:56:42.:56:51.

here for Wilfred Ndidi D. Hits it absolutely brilliantly! Absolute

:56:52.:57:00.

cracker from Wilfred Ndidi D. Superb strike. Feast your eyes on that! Lee

:57:01.:57:08.

Grant wasn't getting near this one. Out of the blue and out of the very

:57:09.:57:10.

top draw. Leicester lead. That's a good ball into Arnautovic.

:57:11.:57:30.

A real chance from Arnautovic. A lovely bit of play here from Sobhi.

:57:31.:57:37.

Picked out the run of Arnautovic, had to swivel and to just over

:57:38.:57:42.

rotated in the end, if anything. The Foxes have their tails up again. Now

:57:43.:57:50.

Mahrez. A good save by Grant, did really well. He got a really strong

:57:51.:57:57.

hand on this, the Stoke goalkeeper. That's a top save.

:57:58.:58:03.

Hooked in, Vardy, great finish. Two spectacular Leicester City goals.

:58:04.:58:21.

Jamie Vardy doubled their lead. They cannot stop smiling at the King

:58:22.:58:27.

Power again. Look at the movement here of Vardy. Stoke might not what

:58:28.:58:31.

to look at the defending. Glen Johnson standing statuesque. Jamie

:58:32.:58:40.

Vardy nips in front and whacked, 2-0. As soon as Vardy got in front

:58:41.:58:44.

of him, Glen Johnson knew what was coming. He will be incensed that his

:58:45.:58:49.

side conceded so early in the second half. Everything he said at

:58:50.:58:52.

half-time pretty much down the drain within about 60 seconds of the

:58:53.:58:53.

restart. Berahino looking for Allen again.

:58:54.:59:03.

Blocked by Drinkwater. Okazaki forward to Vardy. Leicester break,

:59:04.:59:10.

Vardy and Mahrez. Only two in this, two might be enough. Mahrez. A great

:59:11.:59:13.

save. Mahrez again. Mahrez found by Vardy and Grant to

:59:14.:59:35.

the rescue for Stoke. Sometimes it only takes two. Good play by Vardy.

:59:36.:59:45.

Good ball that, Arnautovic is offside.

:59:46.:59:53.

Put it away smartly enough. Offside, Marko Arnautovic. He turns and says

:59:54.:59:59.

to the referee's assistant, are you absolutely sure about that? It

:00:00.:00:09.

looked tight. He's well onside. By the very high standards to which

:00:10.:00:13.

they work, that was straight-forward looking decision. Adams ball in.

:00:14.:00:26.

Schmeichel did well. He delivers for Vardy. Who has won the header.

:00:27.:00:30.

Mahrez here. They are in trouble here. Varpdy wants it. Iing in order

:00:31.:00:37.

by Mahrez. Well, he should really have looked for Jamie Vardy. If he

:00:38.:00:40.

had, I think it would have been three. A poor miss. Is certainly,

:00:41.:00:46.

his decision contentious though it was to dispense with Claudio

:00:47.:00:49.

Ranieri, has been utterly vindicated. Here's Gray. Gray. Oh, a

:00:50.:01:00.

little touch there from Grant. It's a really good save that by Lee

:01:01.:01:05.

Grant. Finger tip stop here from the Stoke keeper. Arnautovic. Diouf.

:01:06.:01:16.

Crouch in the middle. Ramadan arriving. Crouch, he should have

:01:17.:01:21.

scored. Crouch knows that's got to go in the back of the net. So a

:01:22.:01:26.

little bit of history, David Shakespeare will become the first

:01:27.:01:30.

ever Englishman to win his first four Premier League games as a

:01:31.:01:34.

manager. I always felt today the first goal was going to be crucial.

:01:35.:01:38.

What a good goal it turned out to be by the way. I always felt then it

:01:39.:01:43.

gave us a foothold in the game. Then we you score after half-time, people

:01:44.:01:49.

will tell you that goals are important at times. Today they were

:01:50.:01:52.

crucial. The second one, just after half-time, gave us that confidence

:01:53.:01:56.

to go on and win the game. We didn't perform today, half a yard short all

:01:57.:02:01.

over the park, unfortunately. What you don't want to happen is to go

:02:02.:02:05.

behind against a Leicester side because then it plays into their

:02:06.:02:08.

hands. They can play counter-attack and get people behind the ball then,

:02:09.:02:14.

release Vardy and Mahrez further up the pitch. Then it's difficult. He's

:02:15.:02:21.

a good guy and he's got the lads back together. It's a confidence

:02:22.:02:25.

thing. Like I've always said, if we get the momentum we'll be all right.

:02:26.:02:30.

Not many teams can challenge us at our best, especially at home.

:02:31.:02:33.

Everyone has got their togetherness back. We can carry on and kick on.

:02:34.:02:39.

Yes, indeed. Leicester playing like champions. David Shakespeare, what a

:02:40.:02:46.

start. Look at those names who have won their first four Premier League

:02:47.:02:51.

fixtures in charge. Not bad at all. They are going well, Leicester,

:02:52.:02:54.

suddenly. A up could of fabulous goals to boot? They were much better

:02:55.:02:59.

than Stoke were today. Two brilliant goals. What a strike that is from

:03:00.:03:04.

Ndidi. The keeper has no chance whatsoever. He dives. He gets

:03:05.:03:07.

nowhere near it at all. This is one hell of a finish from Vardy. Gets

:03:08.:03:13.

the wrong side. Johnson doesn't seem him coming. What a volley that is.

:03:14.:03:17.

Confidence. Four goals, four games. Yes. He's firing again, no doubt

:03:18.:03:23.

about that. Two superb goals. Difference confidence makes.

:03:24.:03:29.

Absolutely. Demarai Gray came in late, Albrighton wasn't feel too

:03:30.:03:35.

well. He performed brilliantly He has been unlucky he hasn't been part

:03:36.:03:41.

of the three previous wins they had. Played for England under-21s. Good

:03:42.:03:46.

English talent. When he runs at people he is frightening. Flicks it

:03:47.:03:49.

around his opponent. He is straight at you. Goes for the jugular. Good

:03:50.:03:53.

defending. Denies him there. This is the area he wants to be, the central

:03:54.:03:58.

position. Whips it, that is a great save to deny him. He's a real plus

:03:59.:04:02.

point for them. Not a good day for Stoke.

:04:03.:04:05.

Bottom of the table Sunderland need to make up a seven point gap

:04:06.:04:06.

They faced Watford, who've struggled in recent weeks,

:04:07.:04:07.

taking just one point from their last four.

:04:08.:04:09.

COMMENTATOR: Watford top-scorer Troy Deeney begins on the bench having

:04:10.:04:24.

returned from a week off ill on Monday. There are three changes,

:04:25.:04:33.

Holebas and Amrabat come in. It was announced that Tom Cleverley will

:04:34.:04:37.

join permanently in the summer. Lamine Kone is back for Sunderland

:04:38.:04:40.

having missed their last game with a knee injury. The Larsson moves to

:04:41.:04:46.

the bench. Jermain Defoe scored in his first England appearance since

:04:47.:04:49.

2013 last weekend. Both he and Sunderland have failed to find the

:04:50.:05:00.

net in their last four league games. Januzaj. Up against Holebas. Getting

:05:01.:05:11.

it in towards Defoe. Kaboul left it. Gomes had to react. I think he was

:05:12.:05:17.

expecting Kaboul to intervene here. Nerves at the back for Watford early

:05:18.:05:23.

on. Understandable that they have kept one clean sheet in their last

:05:24.:05:28.

18 Premier League games. Capoue for Watford. Inside of Gibson, as well.

:05:29.:05:39.

It's Doucoure, Niang. Nice turn. Niang! Firsted away by Pickford.

:05:40.:05:46.

Still alive for Watford with Doucoure! Pickford, again, to the

:05:47.:05:52.

rescue. Good work here from Pickford after a neat turn and hit from

:05:53.:05:57.

Niang. Was the better save. Down ever so quickly to Parry from

:05:58.:06:03.

Doucoure. Cleverley. Cleverley. Here's Capoue. Okaka. Cleverley has

:06:04.:06:11.

made his way into the centre. Back for Capoue instead. Thought about

:06:12.:06:17.

hitting it. Does now! It wasn't too far away from Etienne Capoue. This

:06:18.:06:22.

was travelling, but I think Pickford always knew it was just bending

:06:23.:06:31.

wide. Well won by Jones, on for Januzaj. Still Januzaj - deflected!

:06:32.:06:37.

It just dribbles wide. Craig Cathcart getting in the way of it.

:06:38.:06:41.

But almost sending it into his own net. Good positive play here from

:06:42.:06:51.

Adnan Januzaj. Gibson's corner. Space here for Januzaj. Watford ask

:06:52.:06:57.

for a free-kick. Nothing doing. Amrabat on the charge for him here.

:06:58.:07:04.

He has plenty in support as well. He spotted Niang. Niang. Pickford down

:07:05.:07:10.

smartly, again. Sunderland very nearly caught napping on the

:07:11.:07:16.

counter-attack. Decent strike, but you would expect Pickford to make

:07:17.:07:20.

the block given the form he's been in this season.

:07:21.:07:24.

Niang. Okaka in the middle. Niang. It's off Kone.

:07:25.:07:38.

Cleverley's corner. Pickford comes, gets just about enough on it.

:07:39.:07:46.

Success, back in. Away for another Watford corner. Cleverley whips it

:07:47.:07:57.

in. Oh, a free header - off the bar. Back it and in! Miguel Britos, sends

:07:58.:08:05.

a surge of relief around Vicarage Road. It's his first ever goal for

:08:06.:08:15.

Watford. What a big one it is, too. A free header for Okaka. Diverted on

:08:16.:08:20.

to the crossbar. Britos had the chance to steer in from close-range.

:08:21.:08:35.

Doucoure. Nicely done by Okaka. Through for Success to chase.

:08:36.:08:40.

Pickford with a very important save. Danger still not fully away. Sent

:08:41.:08:47.

just over the top by Doucoure. Success was through on goal here.

:08:48.:08:51.

Pickford has kept Sunderland in the game with that save. This wasn't far

:08:52.:08:56.

away from Doucoure either. In fact, it got a deflection. Chase here.

:08:57.:09:04.

Good turn. Good pass as well. Januzaj. What a tame effort. Doesn't

:09:05.:09:13.

he know it. Chances few and far between for Sunderland this

:09:14.:09:21.

afternoon. Januzaj fluffs his lines. Catching practice for Gomes.

:09:22.:09:27.

Borini. Borini! Forces a top stop out of Heurelho Gomes. They've had

:09:28.:09:37.

precious few chances this afternoon, Sunderland. Borini's snapshot forces

:09:38.:09:44.

Gomes into action. Disappointed we lost. Didn't think there was much in

:09:45.:09:47.

the game at all. I thought we deserved something out of the game.

:09:48.:09:50.

The boys worked hard to get something from it. Set-pieces were

:09:51.:09:54.

always going to be the difficulty. They are in the lands of the giants,

:09:55.:09:58.

Watford. To be fair, we have done a good job on it for most of the game.

:09:59.:10:03.

One we turned off. One is too many. It's Costly. Was in the right place

:10:04.:10:10.

at the right moment. I went inside the box, the second post, the ball

:10:11.:10:14.

dropped there. I was in the right moment.

:10:15.:10:18.

TRANSLATION: Very deserved. There are no doubts about this. We created

:10:19.:10:22.

four or five chances in the first half. We should have scored at least

:10:23.:10:26.

two goals. Because we didn't do this we allowed them too much in the

:10:27.:10:31.

second-half. About being deserved winners, no doubt about this. Rave

:10:32.:10:36.

You said you needed to win one of your next two games. You failed to

:10:37.:10:40.

do so today. How much pressure does it put on the next match for you?

:10:41.:10:44.

I've said it, haven't I. That's it. That's what you do. We have to win

:10:45.:10:49.

another game. A nerve settling victory for Watford given their

:10:50.:10:53.

recent form. It could have been more but for Pickford? You have to say,

:10:54.:10:57.

looking now that David Moyes putting a brave face on it, that Sunderland

:10:58.:11:03.

will go down. There will be clubs chasing this fella. This is Niang,

:11:04.:11:08.

what a purchase he has been as well coming in on-loan in the transfer

:11:09.:11:11.

window for Watford. No points recently for them. It was vital

:11:12.:11:15.

today. Pickford was there. A great save there, low-down. To his right.

:11:16.:11:21.

Niang, again. He would test him. You have to be smart, get your angles

:11:22.:11:27.

right there. Success coming through. Comes out, smothers him. He looks

:11:28.:11:32.

really sharp and bright. He is desperate to keep clean sheets.

:11:33.:11:35.

Today it was a set-piece. He can do nothing with this one. Britos coming

:11:36.:11:39.

in at the far-post and tucking it. No-one near him. Just onside? For me

:11:40.:11:45.

he's just onside. The goalkeeper is obscured. Just about keeps him

:11:46.:11:51.

onside. Britos just simple tap-in for him. Watford up to 12th.

:11:52.:11:55.

Sunderland doomed, are they? They are doomed. They have been flirting

:11:56.:11:59.

with relegation for a number of years now. The seven points from

:12:00.:12:02.

safety, nine games left. Can't see it at all. Can't score goals. No.

:12:03.:12:04.

Big struggle. Despite going 18 league games

:12:05.:12:07.

unbeaten, Manchester United remained four points off

:12:08.:12:09.

a Champions League place. They faced West Brom,

:12:10.:12:11.

who've won twice at Old Trafford COMMENTATOR: Jose Mourinho says his

:12:12.:12:24.

team selection topd was easy because he didn't have any other options.

:12:25.:12:28.

Mata's groin surgery confirmed last night. Latest in a long line of

:12:29.:12:32.

injuries and suspension that is have hit Manchester United right at the

:12:33.:12:39.

start of a month when they will play nine tems times in the next 30 days.

:12:40.:12:49.

Tony Pulis said the starting XI still cost over ?200 million.

:12:50.:12:57.

Fellaini, Martial. Dawson. Looking for Rashford. It will fall for

:12:58.:13:03.

Lingard. Just too high. It's the first shot in anger of the game.

:13:04.:13:08.

Lingard, who scored against West Brom last season here at Old

:13:09.:13:12.

Trafford, part of the new generation. Made his England debut

:13:13.:13:16.

in Gareth Southgate's first game in charge. Despite all the injury

:13:17.:13:20.

problems at the moment, still no place in the starting XI today for

:13:21.:13:22.

Wayne Rooney. Here's Lingard, headed away by

:13:23.:13:37.

Evans. Here's Valencia. Lingard's cross. It's Martial's header. It's

:13:38.:13:45.

just off target. Very good positioning from the Frenchman,

:13:46.:13:47.

creeping in off the left-wing, just off target.

:13:48.:13:55.

McClean. Robson-Kanu. He's turned well here. Chadli, again. Fletcher,

:13:56.:14:14.

Robson-Kanu, back out to Chadli. Dawson is in the box. This is

:14:15.:14:19.

Fletcher. He couldn't pull the trigger properly against his old

:14:20.:14:25.

club. Scored 24 goals during his Manchester United days, Darren

:14:26.:14:29.

Fletcher. I don't think that was going on targets anyway. It hit Eric

:14:30.:14:38.

Bailly. Carrick, Fellaini. Rashford. Good ball to Lingard. Mkhitaryan.

:14:39.:14:44.

McClean dove in there and Fellaini puts it wide. In a game of precious

:14:45.:14:49.

few chances, this certainly counts as one. But, if anything, it was his

:14:50.:14:55.

team-mate, Mkhitaryan, lying on the ground in front of him, that made

:14:56.:14:59.

that an even more difficult shot. Manchester United have already drawn

:15:00.:15:03.

more games this season than in the whole of last season. If it was to

:15:04.:15:08.

finish level today it would be 11 draws from 28 league games this

:15:09.:15:10.

campaign. Martial. Steadies himself. It took a deflection on the way

:15:11.:15:23.

through, he claims. Mike Dean says goal kick. Not only did it hit the

:15:24.:15:29.

opponent, it might have hit an arm on the way through, but goal kick is

:15:30.:15:30.

the decision of the officials. Mkhitaryan gets it back from

:15:31.:15:41.

Carrick. Couldn't control it. Mkhitaryan... Couldn't find the net.

:15:42.:15:47.

Mkhitaryan did everything right there. It's a good save by Ben

:15:48.:15:52.

Foster. It came out and was smothered. The goalkeeper definitely

:15:53.:15:57.

gets a touch and that's what forces Jose Mourinho to throw his pen away

:15:58.:15:59.

in disgust. Mkhitaryan once more. Trying to create the space. That was

:16:00.:16:13.

on target as well and it needed saving from Ben Foster. Really good

:16:14.:16:19.

shot from Marcus Rashford. The sun in his eyes as well, Ben Foster. Did

:16:20.:16:23.

well to palm it away. Into the last five minutes now.

:16:24.:16:31.

It's a sight of goal from Fletcher, it hit the crossbar. What a moment

:16:32.:16:38.

that could have been for Darren Fletcher. And David De Gea, who's

:16:39.:16:43.

been a virtual spectator for the whole game, almost fumbled that into

:16:44.:16:50.

his own net. His Valencia. It's a lot louder in here now. Martial

:16:51.:16:54.

couldn't get there. This is Rashford. Away by Fletcher. Won by

:16:55.:17:05.

Young. It's a free kick, it's going to be a booking as well. Yellow card

:17:06.:17:16.

for Jake Livermore. A smiling moment between Mourinho and pumas. Now

:17:17.:17:19.

Marcus Rashford, hoping to grab a headline moment. He nearly did, as

:17:20.:17:30.

well. Saved by Ben Foster, not for the first time today.

:17:31.:17:35.

We saw you smiling with Tony Pulis. Did you cancel each other out today?

:17:36.:17:41.

I don't know what you mean. What do you mean by that? Two teams evenly

:17:42.:17:48.

balanced today? You think so? I'm asking you. Do you think so, really?

:17:49.:17:54.

Do you think that's a question? You were smiling with him at the end.

:17:55.:17:59.

He's my friend. I was not speaking about the game. We went across the

:18:00.:18:03.

midfield line once in 90 minutes and the other team is for 90 minutes

:18:04.:18:08.

with the ball, in the opponent's half, trying and trying and trying.

:18:09.:18:11.

You are telling me that one team cancelled the other one and each

:18:12.:18:16.

other. We didn't have to defend. We're really, really pleased with

:18:17.:18:20.

the effort and organisation and the performers. The one disappointing is

:18:21.:18:23.

I think we have players who imposition can do better than what

:18:24.:18:27.

they did today. However, they were concentrating so much on the other

:18:28.:18:31.

side of it, I'm not sure, but we are delighted with the point. You could

:18:32.:18:35.

have had a goal on your return to Old Trafford today. It was a decent

:18:36.:18:41.

shot but slipped through and unfortunately for him it hit the bar

:18:42.:18:45.

but it wasn't to be and it's a great point. We beat everyone on quality

:18:46.:18:52.

of play and possession, creation, ambition, we beat everyone, but

:18:53.:18:56.

then, you are right, we draw too many matches. Did these two teams

:18:57.:19:02.

cancel each other out? It was one-sided but it wasn't the most

:19:03.:19:07.

thrilling encounter, was it? No, it was a very poor game but the same

:19:08.:19:13.

old story, just united, isn't it? Dropping points at home, draw after

:19:14.:19:17.

draw after draw. They got into decent positions. West Brom have

:19:18.:19:22.

been brilliant for large, most of the season. United couldn't break

:19:23.:19:28.

them down. They were very, very wasteful in the final third will

:19:29.:19:33.

stop its frustrating, it's happened so many times this season. Again,

:19:34.:19:40.

second half, it didn't change. Men behind the ball again, West Brom,

:19:41.:19:45.

they couldn't find a way through. So wasteful, as I said, in that final

:19:46.:19:50.

third. Martin Jol then Carrick, and Mkhitaryan, Rooney with a poor pass

:19:51.:20:01.

-- Martial, then Carrick. Mkhitaryan has a good opportunity and you can

:20:02.:20:06.

see what Mourinho things of that when it goes in the back of the net.

:20:07.:20:10.

A very frustrating day for him. There's been a lot of those at Old

:20:11.:20:15.

Trafford this season. 19 games unbeaten but they haven't really

:20:16.:20:19.

progressed 19 games unbeaten but they are still insist position and

:20:20.:20:22.

it's been a problem for them all season, other than Ibrahimovic, 15,

:20:23.:20:28.

the second top scorer with six goals. They have to rekindle that

:20:29.:20:33.

are of playing at Old Trafford. You couldn't get go there and get a

:20:34.:20:34.

result. We finish with what can only be

:20:35.:20:39.

described as mid-table clash - tenth placed Southampton hosted 11th

:20:40.:20:42.

placed Bournemouth in Jay Rodriguez starts today in place

:20:43.:20:55.

of Gabbiadini, who is injured. Bournemouth are unbeaten in three

:20:56.:20:59.

and unchanged today. Joshua King has scored eight Premier League goals

:21:00.:21:03.

since the turn of the year. Going into the weekend only Harry Kane and

:21:04.:21:05.

Romelu Lukaku had scored more with 11 H. -- 11 each. Southampton at

:21:06.:21:14.

home for the first time since the 4th of February today, for the south

:21:15.:21:19.

coast derby, which Bournemouth have never managed to win away at

:21:20.:21:23.

Southampton. Now Bertrand, with a passing to Tadic now. Collected by

:21:24.:21:28.

Rodriguez. The red and white shirts flooding forwards but Rodriguez,

:21:29.:21:33.

struck firmly. Boruc right behind it. All the attacking play so far in

:21:34.:21:37.

the match is coming from Southampton. They hung on to get a

:21:38.:21:43.

draw at Manchester United. They've won back-to-back games since with a

:21:44.:21:47.

clean sheet last time out against Swansea. Good play by King there.

:21:48.:21:52.

Harassing Ward-Prowse to win the ball back. Bournemouth get a free

:21:53.:21:57.

kick. Bournemouth have gone looking for it a little bit more in the last

:21:58.:21:59.

few minutes. Off the head of Stephens. Steve Cook

:22:00.:22:10.

happy to let than one roll-out for a corner kick. Fraser to take the

:22:11.:22:18.

corner. Almost done. Off the line. A vital clearance. By Steven Davis,

:22:19.:22:25.

the Southampton. That's how close they were. This will give you an

:22:26.:22:33.

even better idea. Surman stretched and Davis made sure it didn't cross

:22:34.:22:34.

the line. Here comes Southampton, now Cedric.

:22:35.:22:51.

The little lay-off. The shot from Tadic there clipping the outside of

:22:52.:22:56.

the post. That's the closest Southampton have come.

:22:57.:23:04.

Forward by Tadic, chased by Rodriguez. He'll be the first one

:23:05.:23:10.

there. Good save, Artur Boruc. Excellent play all round. The

:23:11.:23:16.

attacking move from Southampton, first-time shot from Rodriguez,

:23:17.:23:21.

bringing the best out of Boruc and keeping it goalless, with half-time

:23:22.:23:22.

on the horizon. Joshua King gets the better of

:23:23.:23:32.

Yoshida. Its king for Bournemouth. A great chance here. Afobe put it

:23:33.:23:37.

wide. What a chance. Bournemouth will do well to get a better one

:23:38.:23:44.

than that today. And Yoshida finally beating in the challenge by King,

:23:45.:23:51.

got away, saw Afobe. Picked him out, but he couldn't find the bottom

:23:52.:23:59.

corner. Yoshida unsure where to go. Davis, into Redmond. Redmond looks

:24:00.:24:04.

to light up this match. Brings the save. Tadic almost there.

:24:05.:24:08.

Ward-Prowse guides it wide. It was Nathan Redmond who brought the save

:24:09.:24:13.

from the Bournemouth goalkeeper and when the ball came out to James

:24:14.:24:16.

Ward-Prowse he just guided it wide of the post. Southampton have scored

:24:17.:24:24.

only 14 goals at home all season. Only Middlesbrough have scored

:24:25.:24:26.

fewer, with a dozen going into this weekend of fixtures.

:24:27.:24:32.

Fraser, bursting into the penalty area. Yoshida did well to hold him

:24:33.:24:39.

up there. Davis under pressure. Wilshere goes for it. Smith goes for

:24:40.:24:46.

it, smacks the post. Southampton scramble it away from in front of

:24:47.:24:49.

the own goal and in the end Gosling blasts it wide. What a close run

:24:50.:24:56.

thing therefore Southampton. Hanging on a bit at the back. With

:24:57.:25:01.

Bournemouth pushing forward, the ball falling invitingly to Marc

:25:02.:25:10.

Pugh, as they bounced off the post. Off the head of Bertrand, collected

:25:11.:25:15.

by Wilshere. Away from Tadic, Wilshere still going, sliding it

:25:16.:25:20.

through. Bournemouth appealing for a penalty. Jonathan Moss had a long,

:25:21.:25:24.

long think about it before making the award. Jack Welsh are trying to

:25:25.:25:29.

force his way through against Tadic and was there a touch by Bertrand on

:25:30.:25:34.

the player running into the penalty area? Barely a touch on the

:25:35.:25:41.

Bournemouth player. Bournemouth with the chance to go ahead, and Harry

:25:42.:25:51.

Arter has missed it by a mile. That's the third penalty Bournemouth

:25:52.:25:54.

have missed this season. Just as he goes to take it, a big dybbuk comes

:25:55.:26:07.

up out of the penalty spot. -- a big dybbuk. You have to take chances

:26:08.:26:12.

like that. Arter's flick, Fraser knocks it on. Jack Welsh,

:26:13.:26:17.

Bournemouth starting to threaten again. Good save from Forster. Now

:26:18.:26:26.

Southampton survived. That was a good save from Fraser Forster,

:26:27.:26:29.

beautifully struck by Harry Arter, looking to make amends for his

:26:30.:26:34.

penalty misfortune. I think we can lose this game, we can win, we have

:26:35.:26:43.

a good opportunity to score and without scoring, we took confidence

:26:44.:26:52.

and it was difficult to finish this game. Four matches in row unbeaten,

:26:53.:26:59.

it could have been three points? It could have been three. We weren't

:27:00.:27:03.

great the first half but we sprung to life second-half and dominated

:27:04.:27:06.

the game. We had some great chances and really should have put the game

:27:07.:27:11.

to bed. One of those chances was the penalty that was missed, and on

:27:12.:27:17.

April Fools' Day we reveal that St Mary's sliding penalty spot. It's a

:27:18.:27:25.

standing foot has slipped, it's lifted the ball and he has guided.

:27:26.:27:30.

It's remarkable. Harry Arter there will not be... It will be a mystery,

:27:31.:27:35.

what the hell happened. It's a different Harry but the same result.

:27:36.:27:42.

Same penalty spot,... Same position. The groundsman won't thank me,

:27:43.:27:49.

another divot comes up and Harry lifts it and puts it over.

:27:50.:27:53.

Remarkable similarity. Both these teams will be happy, mid-table

:27:54.:27:59.

finish. Acceptable. I think so, Southampton tense, Bournemouth are

:28:00.:28:03.

11th. Bournemouth had enough chances in the second half to have won that

:28:04.:28:07.

game today but Southampton struggled to score goals at home. Okada, we

:28:08.:28:11.

are more or less out of time so Martin, thank you very much, Alan,

:28:12.:28:15.

thank you very much indeed. Before we leave you we will look at the

:28:16.:28:20.

Premier League table. Chelsea's lead over Tottenham is down to seven

:28:21.:28:23.

points, while Liverpool are up to third. Manchester United's draw

:28:24.:28:28.

leaves them four points adrift of the final Champions League place.

:28:29.:28:32.

Hull move level with Swansea but bottom side Sunderland are now seven

:28:33.:28:38.

points from safety. Alys four points of clear of trouble while Leicester

:28:39.:28:41.

Rice to 30s. What the Sunday papers have to say. The expressive one of

:28:42.:28:46.

several papers to declare the title race back on. The Telegraph focuses

:28:47.:28:52.

on Jose Mourinho's scathing attack on Manchester United's misfiring

:28:53.:28:56.

forwards. And they Mahrez considering approaches from United

:28:57.:28:59.

and Chelsea, with the Times claiming both clubs would play his Barcelona

:29:00.:29:07.

release clause of ?170 million -- Neymar is considering approaches.
