:00:45. > :00:46.After another depressing week for English football we needed
:00:47. > :00:48.something to lift the spirits and the Premier League
:00:49. > :00:51.Six games on the way for tonight's two-ball
:00:52. > :00:57.We start at the Liberty Stadium where Swansea, who've not won
:00:58. > :01:00.since the opening day of the season, faced an in-form Liverpool side
:01:01. > :01:12.Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton.
:01:13. > :01:18.Swansea haven't won at home in the league since the last time they
:01:19. > :01:22.hosted Liverpool, in May. Jurgen Klopp's side words preoccupied
:01:23. > :01:28.against the game with Villa Real. Now they have a laser-like focus on
:01:29. > :01:32.the league. There's one change for the home team today, with Llorente
:01:33. > :01:39.missing the match because of a rib injury. Borja Baston, a summer
:01:40. > :01:42.arrival from Atletico Madrid, makes his first Premier League start.
:01:43. > :01:48.Fernandes is not written it enough to return, so Mike van der Hoorn
:01:49. > :01:53.continues alongside Amat in. Lovren returns for Liverpool after missing
:01:54. > :01:59.last week's win over Hull with a virus. Loris Karius keeps his place
:02:00. > :02:04.in the goal up week after breaking his area league debut. Origi is
:02:05. > :02:07.named in the substitutes after recovering from a foot injury.
:02:08. > :02:12.Swansea City with just one point from nine at home so far, that point
:02:13. > :02:18.accrued in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. They've lost a couple at home
:02:19. > :02:26.already. Routledge River Tawe space to run into. Rangel on the outside
:02:27. > :02:34.if required. Over the top of the bar, the first chance of the game
:02:35. > :02:39.falls to Swansea. It was a good one. It could not be guided in past
:02:40. > :02:47.carriers. An excellent -- past Karius. An excellent chance for
:02:48. > :02:53.Borja Baston. Swansea computing here. Now Sigurdsson forward, the
:02:54. > :02:57.flag stays down. Borja Baston racing through. Sigurdsson is inside the
:02:58. > :03:00.penalty area but suddenly found himself surrounded, as redshirts
:03:01. > :03:02.came piling back into the box. Promising from Swansea, just about
:03:03. > :03:16.onside. Karius stays on his line. It's in,
:03:17. > :03:20.over the line by Leroy Fer. Swansea City have the lead after seven
:03:21. > :03:25.minutes. Just the start they needed. The pressure is really on. They
:03:26. > :03:31.haven't won since the opening day and what a confidence booster this
:03:32. > :03:35.could be. The ball headed back in at the far post, flicked into what is
:03:36. > :03:39.Leroy Fer, who added the finishing touch. It was a tight one. I think
:03:40. > :03:45.he's just about onside as the ball comes over. It may have deflected
:03:46. > :03:48.off Lovren anyway. Another game goes by in which Liverpool have failed to
:03:49. > :03:52.keep a clean sheet. They haven't managed one at all so far in the
:03:53. > :03:55.Premier League this season. It hasn't mattered with the number of
:03:56. > :04:01.goals they've scored. Lallana has taken aback, stayed on the ground.
:04:02. > :04:12.-- has taken a hit, stayed on the ground. A hit on the leg. Lallana
:04:13. > :04:18.may have to come off, it would seem. Forward by Milner, straight onto
:04:19. > :04:24.Jordi Amat's had. That will be a free kick for a foul by Henderson. I
:04:25. > :04:29.should think he will go into the book. First yellow card of the game.
:04:30. > :04:34.Liverpool not really enjoying this first half. Gylfi Sigurdsson with
:04:35. > :04:42.the pixel Swansea. Was another chance to make it to and Borja, with
:04:43. > :04:47.his second heading opportunity of the game can't find the back of the
:04:48. > :04:52.net. Steve Kaplan and Jason Irving, the owners of Swansea City, here to
:04:53. > :04:57.watch the match today. I'm sure happy with the start made by the
:04:58. > :05:04.team. There's the man who wasn't -- whose side haven't won since the
:05:05. > :05:10.opening day against Burnley. I delivery into Firmino, this is
:05:11. > :05:15.Sturridge, no penalty and a free kick for Swansea City. There will be
:05:16. > :05:19.a booking for simulation for Daniel Sturridge, from Mike Oliver.
:05:20. > :05:24.Sturridge bursting into the box, felt that touch on his chest from
:05:25. > :05:32.the Swansea defender. It wasn't a heavy touch, but there was a touch.
:05:33. > :05:36.Mike Oliver saying, no, he will be disappointed to see his team hasn't
:05:37. > :05:41.had a shot on target in the first half. Firmino, away from Britton and
:05:42. > :05:47.Fabianski team required to make a decent save for the first time in
:05:48. > :05:50.the game. Certainly -- the crowd is getting behind the home team, a
:05:51. > :05:58.tremendous atmosphere inside the Liberty. Mane for Liverpool, gets a
:05:59. > :06:08.free kick for the challenge by Leon Brittan. He will be booked by the
:06:09. > :06:14.referee. Mane is on the wall, Coutinho that's the ball straight
:06:15. > :06:19.into the middle of it. Bacchin by Henderson, Firmino, Liverpool level
:06:20. > :06:23.at 1-1. Swansea's defenders are across at the far side, there's no
:06:24. > :06:28.flag. Firmino celebrates. Liverpool are back in the game. Nine minutes
:06:29. > :06:33.into the second half. As the ball comes in, he's onside. Initially the
:06:34. > :06:39.wall does its job, it deflects back out off Leroy Fer. Roberto Firmino
:06:40. > :06:44.is there Liverpool. To score his fourth goal of the season. Liverpool
:06:45. > :06:53.have taken less than ten minutes in the second half to come right back
:06:54. > :06:56.in it. Liverpool's tales are up. Nathaniel Clyne, Wijnaldum going
:06:57. > :07:00.racing through the middle but looks frustrated the ball didn't come.
:07:01. > :07:05.It's still with Liverpool now. Mane in towards Sturridge.
:07:06. > :07:17.Coutinho. Suddenly, Swansea City are creaking and on the ropes. Much,
:07:18. > :07:23.much better from Liverpool. Coutinho combining with Wijnaldum and not far
:07:24. > :07:30.away from finding the corner of the net. He is looking a lot happier
:07:31. > :07:34.since the break. And no wonder. Suddenly, wave after wave of
:07:35. > :07:40.red-shirted attacks bearing down on the Swansea penalty area. Van der
:07:41. > :07:46.Hoorn challenge, no foul, it's James Milner, Bacchin Tomane and the block
:07:47. > :07:54.is made by Kyle Naughton. -- back into Mane. The referee had a great
:07:55. > :07:56.view, waving play on, and Mane going for gold, sees the ball ricocheting
:07:57. > :08:13.and deflecting over the top. Just hangs in the air, doesn't quite
:08:14. > :08:19.land on Firmino's head. Well, hooked up high in the air but no breast --
:08:20. > :08:23.no distance at all by Barrow. Firmino tries the shot. The referee
:08:24. > :08:28.gives Liverpool penalty. What frustration for Swansea City. Rangel
:08:29. > :08:33.with a challenge on Firmino, here it is. Firmino down, as he felt
:08:34. > :08:40.Rangel's arms touch the back of his shirt. Liverpool now with a glorious
:08:41. > :08:42.opportunity to take the lead and James Milner will try and give
:08:43. > :08:47.Liverpool the lead here. That's precisely what he does. That could
:08:48. > :08:56.be a hammer blow for Swansea City today. In the 84th minute of the
:08:57. > :09:00.game, an excellent penalty from Milner. Liverpool lead for the first
:09:01. > :09:10.time today and they have just over five minutes to hang onto it.
:09:11. > :09:14.Swansea City, have they got a final flourish in them to rescue
:09:15. > :09:19.something, or will Sturridge budget beyond reach? He can't. Coutinho
:09:20. > :09:23.brings a save from Fabianski you. Van der Hoorn can't get the ball
:09:24. > :09:27.away. Mike van der Hoorn finally does clear, up towards Barrow, but
:09:28. > :09:35.there hasn't really been a threat from Swansea since half-time in this
:09:36. > :09:42.game. Rangel with a delivery. Van der Hoorn can't turn it home. What a
:09:43. > :09:46.chance, right at the last moment of the game. Mike van der Hoorn, up
:09:47. > :09:52.from the back and a clear view of goal, and Swansea's last opportunity
:09:53. > :09:59.at salvaging a point has surely gone, now. We need a good result but
:10:00. > :10:07.this is not a good period for us. The performance was good. My players
:10:08. > :10:12.gave me an answer of character and qualities in the first half,
:10:13. > :10:16.perfect, spot on, I think. The resort -- the right result would
:10:17. > :10:19.have been a draw. Did you feel any pressure coming into the game
:10:20. > :10:24.because of recent results? There's a lot of talk about the manager and
:10:25. > :10:29.his future? I think we showed today that we are behind our coach. We
:10:30. > :10:35.want to win for our coach. We didn't. I thought we could have done
:10:36. > :10:47.better in the first half, I know we could have done better. Our build-up
:10:48. > :10:53.was static, so it was easy, so we forced a reaction in the second
:10:54. > :10:56.half. The we got the job done but we can't do that every week because we
:10:57. > :11:00.will be punished and it will be difficult to get back in the game.
:11:01. > :11:06.You had a penalty kick, James Milner is a cool customer to have, it
:11:07. > :11:13.seems. I've no idea, I didn't see it! I trust you will be watching
:11:14. > :11:17.tonight, Jurgen! Distinctive halves, I have to say. Very different.
:11:18. > :11:22.Swansea in the first half, pretty dominant really. They were dominant.
:11:23. > :11:26.They deserved their 1-0 lead. You can't accuse the Swansea players of
:11:27. > :11:29.not working for their manager, who is obviously under pressure. But
:11:30. > :11:32.Swansea did to Liverpool what Liverpool have been doing to most
:11:33. > :11:39.teams this season. They actually pressed them high they worked very
:11:40. > :11:45.hard, and they forced Liverpool into mistakes. They basically stopped
:11:46. > :11:51.them playing and didn't allow them to get their football game going.
:11:52. > :11:56.They didn't go in one, so they were passed off. They went as a group and
:11:57. > :12:01.hunted in a pack and won the ball high up the pitch. A decent effort
:12:02. > :12:08.from Herb -- from Fer, who did very well. The middle of the park,
:12:09. > :12:11.they're all working for the manager, forcing the wall back to the
:12:12. > :12:13.goalkeeper and just not letting them play at all. For that first half
:12:14. > :12:18.they were brilliant, deserved their 1-0 at half-time. There could have
:12:19. > :12:23.been some more. By contrast, the second half is very much belonged to
:12:24. > :12:26.Liverpool? It did, as good a Swansea were in the first half I thought
:12:27. > :12:30.Liverpool were poor. Their attitude and approach to the game, I don't
:12:31. > :12:33.think Jurgen Klopp would have been happy with that and there would have
:12:34. > :12:36.been harsh words said at half-time. You can almost tell there was
:12:37. > :12:40.because the reaction from the players in the second half was
:12:41. > :12:44.completely brilliant. That's what you want from your players. Use all
:12:45. > :12:50.their the clip of them hunting impacts to get the ball back,
:12:51. > :12:54.players making runs now, reactions to get the ball back as soon as
:12:55. > :12:58.possible. Milner was influential, involved in a lot of very good play
:12:59. > :13:02.in that second half, not giving up on anything, making sure he was put
:13:03. > :13:06.in -- putting the Swansea players under a lot of pressure all the
:13:07. > :13:09.time. When you do that, you tend to create chances. Players were
:13:10. > :13:14.releasing themselves from positions and then you can break from these
:13:15. > :13:19.deep deeper positions. Liverpool in the second half were very dominant.
:13:20. > :13:27.Time and time again players released themselves, Swansea just tired I
:13:28. > :13:30.felt. They caught them on the ball, sorry, on a number of occasions,
:13:31. > :13:35.where they could have put them to bed. They did deserve their 2-1 in
:13:36. > :13:39.the end. It was that first half display was not so good. It
:13:40. > :13:42.certainly wasn't. I suppose if Liverpool are to be title contenders
:13:43. > :13:47.they are going to have to work on their defending set pieces because
:13:48. > :13:51.they are letting a few in? Yes, they are. The third goal this season
:13:52. > :13:57.they've conceded from a set piece and they've conceded too many, also
:13:58. > :14:01.from normal play. You've got three guys marking, Henderson, Wijnaldum
:14:02. > :14:06.and Milner. The rest are zonal marking. Henderson is on Fer, the
:14:07. > :14:10.eventual goal-scorer. He is marking him, his man. When that ball comes
:14:11. > :14:16.in, he's got to stick with him. If he drops to Fer he's still got a
:14:17. > :14:21.free header. Henderson has already lost. But when the ball goes over
:14:22. > :14:25.your head you can't just switch off say that's my job done now because
:14:26. > :14:29.it hasn't gone to my marker. You have to engage again and find out
:14:30. > :14:33.where your money is. Henderson is six or seven yards off Fer, they
:14:34. > :14:38.lose their head at the far post and it is a tap in from yard out. That
:14:39. > :14:42.is just switching off and thinking someone else will do the rest for
:14:43. > :14:45.me. That's not the case. You've got to stay alive and stay alert when
:14:46. > :14:49.the ball goes over your head. Engage and see where it goes. Can they
:14:50. > :14:56.contend? I think so. Agree? Yes. After picking up just one point
:14:57. > :14:58.from their last three games, Chelsea were in action at Hull,
:14:59. > :15:11.who've picked up just one point Those defeats at Arsenal and against
:15:12. > :15:15.Liverpool poured cold water on early talk of Chelsea being fit for a
:15:16. > :15:19.title challenge this season. They need to regroup, and maybe Hull
:15:20. > :15:24.provide ideal opposition, they have only won four of 44 meetings between
:15:25. > :15:29.the clubs. Hull's lightning start of the season is a distant memory. Mike
:15:30. > :15:32.Phelan makes three changes, Elmohamady is suspended after his
:15:33. > :15:37.red card at Anfield last week. David Meyler comes into right back.
:15:38. > :15:41.Henriksen and Mbokani make their first starts. Huddlestone and
:15:42. > :15:46.Hernandez make way. Antonio Conte has dropped Ivanovic and Fabregas
:15:47. > :15:51.today with Marcos Alonso coming in at left back. Four years after
:15:52. > :15:58.signing for Chelsea, Victor Moses makes his full Premier League debut
:15:59. > :16:09.for the club. Before kick-off, a minute's applause to mark the sad
:16:10. > :16:12.passing of a 13-year-old fan, Megan Pratt, who was going to be mascot
:16:13. > :16:17.today but died on Thursday after a brave battle with illness.
:16:18. > :16:24.Jake Livermore able to shake off Hazard. The Hull Golden Boy at the
:16:25. > :16:28.moment, Robert Snodgrass with four goals already this season. Useful
:16:29. > :16:34.dummy and Mbokani goes down under David Luiz.
:16:35. > :16:42.Clumsy challenge from the Brazilian. Ideal territory for Robert
:16:43. > :16:48.Snodgrass. Scored a wonderful free kick against Burnley to rescue a
:16:49. > :16:52.point not so long ago. Takes it on, and the deflection made life
:16:53. > :16:57.uncomfortable for Courtois. The big Belgian had to change direction
:16:58. > :17:01.here. That's a splendid stop from Courtois. Not the start he was
:17:02. > :17:14.anticipating. David Meyler, closed down quickly by
:17:15. > :17:21.Alonso, but still found Sam Clucas. Snodgrass crosses deep. It drops for
:17:22. > :17:30.Mason, and again. Twice Chelsea got bodies in the way. Alonso was sucked
:17:31. > :17:34.out by the need to close down David Meyler and there is suddenly a
:17:35. > :17:39.massive space for Snodgrass. So much time, Hull had two attacking that,
:17:40. > :17:44.Mason's first shot blocked, as was the second.
:17:45. > :17:52.Kante feeds Moses who is one-on-one against Robertson, whose
:17:53. > :18:00.backpedalling. Moses, again guilty of overelaborate play. The chance
:18:01. > :18:05.was there to get it in the box. Just wonder if Moses might have been
:18:06. > :18:13.caught as he tries to dance his way into the box. Diomande's challenge.
:18:14. > :18:18.The ball has gone, and he catches Moses.
:18:19. > :18:31.On by Mbokani. Snodgrass stopped initially by Luiz. Cahill gets it
:18:32. > :18:37.clear. Livermore regains its the whole city so well. Mason with the
:18:38. > :18:45.shot, and Courtois with good hands to turn it around. -- regains it for
:18:46. > :18:51.Hull city. Mason is never shy to take it on from distance. The first
:18:52. > :18:53.half looks as though it will finish as it started, with a great Courtois
:18:54. > :19:08.stop. Hazard turns away from Diomande.
:19:09. > :19:12.Steps inside Robertson, and it's a good drive. Finally David Marshall
:19:13. > :19:17.is required to make a superb stop. This was a dazzling run and a
:19:18. > :19:21.powerful drive. Chelsea unbeaten against Hull city in the Premier
:19:22. > :19:32.League, winning six of their eight meetings. Livermore, oh dear.
:19:33. > :19:38.Straight to Willian. Diego Costa, Marshall comes a long way and Costa
:19:39. > :19:45.against the post. And Kante blasts it over the bar. Hull City living
:19:46. > :19:49.dangerously there. It all stemmed from the careless ball out of
:19:50. > :19:54.defence. When it was fed through to Costa, kept his feet, got away from
:19:55. > :19:59.Marshall. The flick from Livermore took it on to the post. N'Golo Kante
:20:00. > :20:17.just isn't a finisher. Kante seizes the loose ball once
:20:18. > :20:24.more. Costa, so strong and determined. Willian, gets the shot
:20:25. > :20:30.away! Chelsea take the lead on the hour. Such an improvement in this
:20:31. > :20:36.second half. They needed it. Whatever he said to them during the
:20:37. > :20:43.break has paid dividends. It was sloppy from Robertson. Here is the
:20:44. > :20:48.key moment, Costa against Curtis Davies. Costa uses it wisely.
:20:49. > :20:52.Willian used Hazard as a decoy. Knew what he was trying to do and he
:20:53. > :20:58.bends it magnificently into the top corner. His second goal of the
:20:59. > :21:02.campaign. His last goal was Chelsea's last victory against
:21:03. > :21:05.Burnley. Will that goal set them up for a return to winning ways? Hull
:21:06. > :21:19.City 0- one Chelsea. Alonso finds Matic. Matic goes on,
:21:20. > :21:27.and on he goes. Might have to do it all himself. Diego Costa! 2-0.
:21:28. > :21:36.Almost an identical replica to the gold from Willian. In terms of where
:21:37. > :21:43.Diego Costa put the shot. His sixth of the campaign.
:21:44. > :21:51.But how much credit does Nemanja Matic deserve? His striding,
:21:52. > :21:55.purposeful, determined run. Diego Costa knew what was on as the ball
:21:56. > :22:06.rolled his way. It's a long way back for Hull City now. Chelsea rampant.
:22:07. > :22:12.You sense Chelsea are almost toying with Hull before looking for the
:22:13. > :22:17.third goal. They might get it now. Willian goes down. No interest from
:22:18. > :22:22.either the referee or his assistant on the far side. Davies is the
:22:23. > :22:23.defender. He's got the ball but then catches Willian afterwards. That's a
:22:24. > :22:34.penalty. Cahill looking for Oscar, who is on
:22:35. > :22:40.the shoulder of Livermore. Willian in support, so is Costa. Alonso is
:22:41. > :22:46.arriving. He finds across, and it's a good one. Pedro couldn't apply the
:22:47. > :22:51.finish at the back post. He was scuttling in as quickly as he could,
:22:52. > :22:56.the little Spaniard. Could have been three, four, more, but Chelsea will
:22:57. > :22:59.settle for two and three points. After the last couple of weeks we
:23:00. > :23:04.have been working on different things. We have been conceding a lot
:23:05. > :23:08.of goals and I think today the team concentrated for 90 minutes and kept
:23:09. > :23:11.the clean sheet. You made changes with Ivanovic and Fabregas left out.
:23:12. > :23:21.Do you think that decision was justified? No, but when you are in a
:23:22. > :23:30.great team you have the opportunity to choose the best situation every
:23:31. > :23:37.week, in every game. Then it's normal that I want to win. I've
:23:38. > :23:41.asked the players to learn certain lessons and I think deep down we are
:23:42. > :23:44.doing that. We are slowly getting there. It's seven points. We have to
:23:45. > :23:49.be pretty pleased with that return because a lot of other teams haven't
:23:50. > :23:53.got that. The defeats for Chelsea were very heavy, but it's important
:23:54. > :24:03.to have a good answer, a good reply today, from the players. Yeah, we
:24:04. > :24:07.must follow it this way. Important victory for Chelsea. Interesting
:24:08. > :24:12.watching Kante at Chelsea. Slightly different role, hasn't he? He was
:24:13. > :24:16.terrific day but playing slightly different to how he did at
:24:17. > :24:21.Leicester. At Leicester he had less possession. He was naturally deeper.
:24:22. > :24:25.Chelsea control far more games so he finds himself in more advanced
:24:26. > :24:30.positions on the pitch. Interesting to see him perform at times in these
:24:31. > :24:35.positions. Simple ball out wide, getting people involved. I like to
:24:36. > :24:40.see Kante's reaction when they lose the ball, that's why they bought
:24:41. > :24:44.him, he sets the trigger, trying to win the ball back for his side. Did
:24:45. > :24:49.that on numerous occasions today. Wins the ball there. In the second
:24:50. > :24:54.half he was the catalyst, he wanted to be the driving force in midfield
:24:55. > :24:58.to take the game to Hull. He gets in these positions here and doesn't
:24:59. > :25:03.quite trust himself. Tries to find Hazard. Most midfielders would let
:25:04. > :25:08.fly there. He has the ability to do it. When he picks up his head and
:25:09. > :25:13.has the weight of pass across. Lovely slip to Costa. Not this bit!
:25:14. > :25:18.The follow-up, you have to say he went to pieces a little bit. But
:25:19. > :25:21.again, winning the ball back all game for Chelsea and in the second
:25:22. > :25:27.half he was the main driving force that enabled them to get the 2-0
:25:28. > :25:31.victory. Good display from him. The other positive is Diego Costa back
:25:32. > :25:37.to his best. Six Premier League goals this season. Today I thought
:25:38. > :25:42.he was brilliant. He led by example. He played in the right way, was
:25:43. > :25:48.aggressive in the right way. He brought his team-mates into the
:25:49. > :25:51.game. Since he signed for Chelsea, there is only Aguero and Harry Kane
:25:52. > :25:56.who have scored more Premier League goals than he has. He ran in behind,
:25:57. > :26:01.he was very difficult to play against today because he was in that
:26:02. > :26:05.right mood, not looking to dive around and get other players booked.
:26:06. > :26:12.He was aggressive in the right way. Assist for Willian. Everything about
:26:13. > :26:19.his game today I liked. This was a brilliant run. Didn't get it but he
:26:20. > :26:23.created space for Matic. First time, back of the net. The keeper has no
:26:24. > :26:29.chance. When he plays like that I'm a massive fan of his. Hull, a good
:26:30. > :26:33.start, but they have gone off the boil. A tough run of fixtures. It's
:26:34. > :26:41.perhaps the lack of quality am at the end product. Exactly that. For
:26:42. > :26:45.45 minutes they held their own, passing it around nicely, and they
:26:46. > :26:49.seemed to have composure in the right areas of the pitch. It was a
:26:50. > :26:53.very assured performance from them. You can tell they have played a lot
:26:54. > :26:57.of tough sides because they did not seem overawed by the occasion of
:26:58. > :27:02.playing Chelsea. In areas of the pitch like that, do they have that
:27:03. > :27:06.added quality? It was tight in there, Mason and Clucas playing
:27:07. > :27:14.well. But did they have the options? The ball comes to Mbokani, and it
:27:15. > :27:18.comes back to Mason, are they doing enough to attack the Chelsea
:27:19. > :27:23.defence? It wasn't enough today, far too easy for the Chelsea defence.
:27:24. > :27:28.The ball would often go back and switch. More often than not it would
:27:29. > :27:32.come to nothing. I feel with the run of games they have coming up,
:27:33. > :27:38.Bournemouth away, stuck at home, Watford away, still tough fixtures,
:27:39. > :27:40.but this is the area Mike Phelan and his team need to refine. -- Stoke
:27:41. > :27:58.away. Two down, four to go. It's into Troy Deeney. That's
:27:59. > :28:01.through and wide. Well saved by Jordan Pickford. Little touch from
:28:02. > :28:11.Barry. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe
:28:12. > :28:13.described being linked to the England job as an unwelcome
:28:14. > :28:16.distraction ahead of his side's trip to Watford, who came unstuck
:28:17. > :28:24.at Burnley on Monday night. If what Watford win tonight they go
:28:25. > :28:28.but Chelsea into the top eight of the Premier League. It's a high one,
:28:29. > :28:32.and it's gone in from the header down. Lots of questions for Watford
:28:33. > :28:35.to answer about how they defended that. Right foot cross into the
:28:36. > :28:48.mixer, into the back of the net and Will -- Keane doubles their lead.

:29:35. > :29:42.Mazzarri is absolutely livid with that decision from Mike Dean. Prodl
:29:43. > :29:49.thought he had been fouled but knew if the decision didn't go his way
:29:50. > :29:56.then he would be in trouble. Looks like six of one, half dozen of the

:30:28. > :30:32.and it's a lovely finish. Good play by Stanislas, a little deflection
:30:33. > :30:35.off Holebas, but it went on to the head of Callum Wilson, who surprised
:30:36. > :30:40.Heurelho Gomes, who will not be happy with his contribution.

:30:47. > :30:54.Play on, says Mike Dean, though he is just acknowledged the foul by

:31:01. > :31:08.Roberto Pereyra. Excellent double save. Artur Boruc, it's a yellow
:31:09. > :31:13.card, shown to Adam Smith for the foul in the build-up. Well spotted
:31:14. > :31:18.by Mike Dean. Holebas really felt bad. It was high and dangerous on
:31:19. > :31:22.the left-back is still down. It was a good advantage played by Mike
:31:23. > :31:31.Dean, because Watford very nearly equalised. A nice dummied by Roberto
:31:32. > :31:34.Pereyra. That's a nice fave. Mazzarri's birthday today, 55, the
:31:35. > :31:41.Italian. There have to be easier ways to celebrate your birthday!

:33:12. > :33:17.and left him far too easily and Deeney couldn't believe his luck.

:33:35. > :33:37.Wilshere. It's a lovely little run but onto the face of the post,
:33:38. > :33:44.rather than the back of the net. This is Isaac Success for Watford,
:33:45. > :33:46.the 20-year-old comes on for Ighalo. He's got a lot going for him, the
:33:47. > :34:09.young Nigerian. Hooked into Deeney. Good save by
:34:10. > :34:18.Artur Boruc. So close here. -- so close here to his 100th, Troy
:34:19. > :34:23.Deeney. A decent save. Ibe goes off. On comes the Norwegian
:34:24. > :34:27.international. Artur Boruc with the long clearance. In towards King, a
:34:28. > :34:42.strong header by Kaboul. Steve Cook here for Bournemouth,
:34:43. > :34:46.into Stanislas. Surman, lofted in the general direction of King but a
:34:47. > :34:53.mistake by Holebas. King has good feet. He's got Wilshere in front of
:34:54. > :34:58.him. Josh King going alone. It is deflected, he's scored. Bournemouth
:34:59. > :35:04.back in front. Josh King within a minute of coming onto the pitch puts
:35:05. > :35:10.Eddie Howe's side back in front. Well, look at this. Two little
:35:11. > :35:16.tricks, Jack Wilson almost in his way says get out of my road -- Jack
:35:17. > :35:24.Wilshere. Certainly helped it on its way. It's come off Kaboul into the
:35:25. > :35:28.back of Watford's net. It's King's goal, the shot on target, you won't
:35:29. > :35:39.take it away from him. That's how it feels when your substitution works a
:35:40. > :35:44.treat. Holebas, Success. Tricky, strong quick customer, he's got a
:35:45. > :35:51.free kick. I think Mike Dean has done the right thing, Success, 2-2.
:35:52. > :35:57.Another goal from another substitute. Isaac Success in his
:35:58. > :36:05.first ball Watford. It's all square again, with 25 minutes still to
:36:06. > :36:12.play. It's a really good ball in, a cracking header. He's used the paste
:36:13. > :36:16.off the delivery and redirected it. Impassive for the first time in the
:36:17. > :36:23.game, practically, Walter Matt Ari. No one else's. It's 2-2. Great noise
:36:24. > :36:26.now at Vicarage Road. Amrabat for Watford, what a thoroughly
:36:27. > :36:36.entertaining game this has been. Roberto Pereyra behind Daniels.
:36:37. > :36:40.Scooped in four Deeney. Mike Dean has given a free kick for the foul
:36:41. > :36:43.on Artur Boruc. He pointed back towards the halfway line, the
:36:44. > :36:51.referee, I thought he had given the goal. No way, not me, says Deeney.
:36:52. > :36:55.Definitely onside, Roberto Pereyra. Lofted it up to Deeney. The first
:36:56. > :36:58.question is did the ball crossed the line, but that became immaterial
:36:59. > :37:05.because Deeney jumped into Boruc in the opinion of Mike Dean.
:37:06. > :37:12.A great run from Smith, right-hand side. King might feed him. Here he
:37:13. > :37:17.is, Smith, a tap in, surely? Wilshere has hit the post again.
:37:18. > :37:23.He's hit the same post in almost the same place. I great run from Smith.
:37:24. > :37:30.Jack Wilshere off the woodwork and now Jack Wilson off the pitch. Dan
:37:31. > :37:35.Gosling comes on to replace him. Stanislas could get this right now
:37:36. > :37:42.to Smith. Smith running away from Behrami. A free kick, right on the
:37:43. > :37:47.edge of the penalty area. Prodl caught enough of Smith for Mike Dean
:37:48. > :37:53.to give that free kick. It Stanislas, and he has hit the
:37:54. > :37:59.woodwork as well. Well, three times now Bournemouth have hit Watford
:38:00. > :38:04.woodwork. It's a really good effort by Stanislas. An inch and a half
:38:05. > :38:10.lower, and Gomes would not have got there. when you scored two and hit
:38:11. > :38:13.the woodwork three times you're going to be disappointed. We are
:38:14. > :38:18.disappointed especially when you take the lead, you think it should
:38:19. > :38:22.be enough. I thought it was a game of end to end stuff, both teams in
:38:23. > :38:26.it. It was very even but we had the best chances. It's your birthday
:38:27. > :38:31.today, can you allow yourself a celebration today, because the
:38:32. > :38:35.performance was much better? TRANSLATION: We haven't played
:38:36. > :38:40.better complaint to Burnley, much better. I'm very happy with this.
:38:41. > :38:44.The players have given me a nice present today, with this point
:38:45. > :38:47.unfortunately if there would have been slightly more concentrated in
:38:48. > :38:51.some moments of the game they would have given me the three points but
:38:52. > :38:55.I'm happy now with this point. Obviously delighted with the goal,
:38:56. > :39:00.it's bringing confidence and keep working hard for the team. It seemed
:39:01. > :39:04.to pay off. Disappointed not to take three points having taken the lead
:39:05. > :39:09.twice. Can I ask you what make of Troy Deeney? He's a handful, he's a
:39:10. > :39:13.strong lad. He's causing the defences all sorts of problems and
:39:14. > :39:16.he has got his goal today, unfortunately for us. Fair play to
:39:17. > :39:21.him. Hopefully he can carry on doing what he's doing. It brings is
:39:22. > :39:33.straight to Troy Deeney. I know you want to focus on him. He's possibly
:39:34. > :39:34.on the brink of an England call-up, it's not inconceivable, Harry Kane
:39:35. > :39:37.injured? Correct, Harry Kane injured. A couple of games coming
:39:38. > :39:39.up, Malta and Slovenia. He's been outstanding. These are montage of
:39:40. > :39:42.what he's been doing for Watford over the years. This is not
:39:43. > :39:50.something new. I find myself saying were always asking could we bring in
:39:51. > :39:54.Andy Carroll, a hold-up man, are there any better than holding up the
:39:55. > :39:59.ball than Troy Deeney? We've got a lack of leaders. He's Watford's
:40:00. > :40:03.skipper, leading by example. Can he put the ball in the back of the net?
:40:04. > :40:07.He has scored three in the last four. He's a goal-scorer. I enjoy
:40:08. > :40:11.watching him play and the players enjoy his leadership. He is a
:40:12. > :40:17.handful in the box. He's good with the ball at his feet. May be he has
:40:18. > :40:20.an opportunity. He's an integral part of how Watford play and I like
:40:21. > :40:25.the way he leads the team, he drags them forward and Rashford is ahead
:40:26. > :40:29.of him, Vardy and Sturridge, Kane is injured but if there is another
:40:30. > :40:33.injury that comes along then yes, he should be given an opportunity.
:40:34. > :40:38.Quite close. As the Bournemouth, always good to watch, they placed
:40:39. > :40:42.nice football, attacking, score goals. They are doing OK, you
:40:43. > :40:49.consider the stature and financial clout of the club compared. They can
:40:50. > :40:53.be very pleased with their start, 12 in the league, eight points, they
:40:54. > :40:58.have Hull, Stoke, Spurs, they have chances. You don't worry about them,
:40:59. > :41:01.do you? They play good stuff. West Ham, who've lost four

:43:07. > :43:14.Payet's season hasn't really ignited yet. Very good block. Good defending
:43:15. > :43:21.by Chambers. Hasn't scored in the league this season. He last scored
:43:22. > :43:30.in the lead against Accrington. I think Valdes had it covered anyway.
:43:31. > :43:39.Good ball. Here's Antonio to take on Chambers. Payet following up. Goes

:46:23. > :46:30.Middlesbrough lead. The fans are delighted. Stuani crept through and
:46:31. > :46:35.more trouble for West Ham. Got a yard away from poor marking. Clearly
:46:36. > :46:40.over the line. That's why the goal decision system is there. Problem
:46:41. > :46:45.for West Ham United, they went decisive enough defending. Antonio

:47:08. > :47:16.side, good run by Payet. Is this his moment? Is this his moment?! It's
:47:17. > :47:21.his moment! One moment in time may change everything. Sensational goal.
:47:22. > :47:26.West Ham were behind for five minutes. Slipped away from Barragan,
:47:27. > :47:31.inside the next challenge, carried on going and waited until he could
:47:32. > :47:39.get a shot away and tickled at home. His season has barely flickered, now
:47:40. > :47:45.it has ignited. Now we can hear the effect of the London Stadium roar.
:47:46. > :47:55.Zaza wins it back and finds Payet. Isolated with Chambers. Support
:47:56. > :48:00.arriving through Mark Noble. He's bundled over on the edge of the
:48:01. > :48:08.penalty area by Martin De Roon. He gets a yellow card. Just outside the
:48:09. > :48:17.box. He's brought them back into the game. Can Payet put them ahead? Hit
:48:18. > :48:25.the wall. Thundered goalwards by Arbeloa, but wide. Goals have been
:48:26. > :48:30.sparely delivered over the years. Six at Real Madrid in six years, and
:48:31. > :48:35.six at Liverpool. West Ham United get a point to end their run of four
:48:36. > :48:38.league defeats in a row. Still disappointed it wasn't the win they
:48:39. > :48:43.crave. A very good point for Middlesbrough. A good point,
:48:44. > :48:51.especially after the last three defeats. Today, I said before the
:48:52. > :48:55.game that West Ham, it's true they are not in their best moment but
:48:56. > :49:01.they have amazing players. We could see, their goal was amazing. For us,
:49:02. > :49:05.I am pleased because it's one more point. And to play with this
:49:06. > :49:10.attitude and intensity, I told them after the game that this is the way.
:49:11. > :49:19.Dimitri Payet scored some goal in that game, have you seen many
:49:20. > :49:25.better? Yes, we know him for a long time. He's a magnificent player. He
:49:26. > :49:36.scores like a Leo Messi goal at Barcelona. Fantastic finish. It's a
:49:37. > :49:39.massive goal for us. We can't keep depending on Dimi. We know he's a
:49:40. > :49:43.world-class player but you can't keep depending on him like this. We
:49:44. > :49:46.need to be better going forward. It's a lot to keep on asking him to
:49:47. > :49:53.come up with goals like this. STUDIO: After the game I spoke to
:49:54. > :49:57.West Ham manager Slaven Bilic. After four consecutive defeats, at least
:49:58. > :50:02.you stopped the rot. You are right, Gary. Of course we were looking for
:50:03. > :50:09.a win, considering that we were playing at home against a team, with
:50:10. > :50:14.the greatest respect, but still in the bottom half of the table. But
:50:15. > :50:20.there were a lot of positives today. We showed what the team should be
:50:21. > :50:24.all about. We showed character, fighting, the spirit and quality as
:50:25. > :50:28.well. At the moment we are not playing the greatest football. We
:50:29. > :50:34.are not creating a lot of chances, but we came back and at the end of
:50:35. > :50:39.the day we get a point. It might be crucial for us. You were trailing in
:50:40. > :50:45.this particular game, and then we saw a moment of pure magic from
:50:46. > :50:52.Payet. It was a great goal, great individual goal. As you say, I
:50:53. > :50:56.agree, it was pure magic. But in a situation like this you need your
:50:57. > :51:03.best players to do something extra. And this was definitely a moment of
:51:04. > :51:07.something special that he brought us back into the game. How about you
:51:08. > :51:12.personally, have you felt the pressure over the last week or so?
:51:13. > :51:17.Look, I feel the pressure, but what kind of pressure, I feel it because
:51:18. > :51:22.I am not happy with the way we are playing. I'm not happy with our
:51:23. > :51:30.position in the table. And I'm not happy because we lost four Premier
:51:31. > :51:38.League games on the trot. Of course, it's below my standards. Of course,
:51:39. > :51:43.I'm feeling the pressure about it. We showed today, although we didn't
:51:44. > :51:47.win, and we are happy with the result but it's not exactly what we
:51:48. > :51:51.wanted. But we showed that the team is alive, that there is character,
:51:52. > :51:57.and that we are together. We wish you all the best and thank you for
:51:58. > :52:02.talking to us. Thank you, Gary. It kind of stopped the rot in one way.
:52:03. > :52:06.But there is only one place to start, that extraordinary goal from
:52:07. > :52:11.Dimitri Payet. Quite possibly the greatest goal ever seen at the
:52:12. > :52:17.London Stadium! They've not had a lot to shout about at this stadium.
:52:18. > :52:23.But that today, wow. Sends one down, two down. He eventually goes past
:52:24. > :52:28.five players, sending three of them down on their backsides. Pure
:52:29. > :52:36.brilliance. The confidence, touch. The turn. We will never get tired of
:52:37. > :52:39.seeing this, will we? It was amazing. Just what they needed, just
:52:40. > :52:44.what they wanted, and without a shadow of a doubt, it will be in
:52:45. > :52:51.goal of the season. What was amazing, Winston Reid got an assist!
:52:52. > :52:54.It was a good ball. Good point for Middlesbrough away from home. You
:52:55. > :52:59.picked out Adam Forshaw, you thought he was exceptional. I did.
:53:00. > :53:03.Middlesbrough have been on the best run themselves. Some poor
:53:04. > :53:08.performances and poor results. Adam Forshaw came in and put a really
:53:09. > :53:14.good performance in midfield. He has a great range of passing. He doesn't
:53:15. > :53:17.shy away from a pass. I like to see midfielders taking risks. Jordan
:53:18. > :53:22.Rhodes should do better with that particular pass. He was happy to
:53:23. > :53:26.take the ball in tight situations, try to make things work for
:53:27. > :53:31.Middlesbrough today. He was always very comfortable with the ball at
:53:32. > :53:35.his feet, his back to goal. Another example of how easy those passes
:53:36. > :53:44.seemed to come to him, and how accepting he is just hit them. Today
:53:45. > :53:46.just a constant thing for him in Middlesbrough side. Seemed very
:53:47. > :53:49.comfortable and looks like he had been playing there for a number of
:53:50. > :53:55.years. I think you will hold onto his spot for a few weeks. A point
:53:56. > :53:57.that probably appeased both sides. There's a pretty special Goal
:53:58. > :55:05.of the Month vote coming up # I won't let you down... At
:55:06. > :55:11.Arsenal, I like the spirit of the club, and the potential of the club.
:55:12. > :55:16.My main ambition is of course to bring success to the team. And to
:55:17. > :55:24.satisfy all the people who love Arsenal.
:55:25. > :55:30.Arsene Wenger, 20 years at Arsenal. He has been linked of course with
:55:31. > :55:35.possibly being the next England manager. These are the odds. Is that
:55:36. > :55:41.conceivable? His contract runs out at the end of the season? By all
:55:42. > :55:45.accounts he turned it down twice, so it's not his dream job. I would be
:55:46. > :55:54.surprised. Arsene Wenger was mentioned for the Germany job some
:55:55. > :55:59.14 or 15 years ago when Germany were in a crisis, but they decided to
:56:00. > :56:02.back one of their own in Jurgen Klinsmann, gave him the power to
:56:03. > :56:06.restructure everything, and I think that's how we should go. Appoint an
:56:07. > :56:11.Englishman, sending out the right message to young aspiring coaches in
:56:12. > :56:16.the country. Gareth Southgate has the best interview for the job, four
:56:17. > :56:19.games to get it right. If he impresses and get the right people
:56:20. > :56:25.around him, I think we should progress in that way. Jermaine,
:56:26. > :56:29.they're that many obvious in this candidates to choose from. -- there
:56:30. > :56:33.are not that many. I think we only have ourselves to blame. We have let
:56:34. > :56:38.too many get away from the system. Players like Frank Lampard and
:56:39. > :56:42.Steven Gerrard. In what sense have we let them get away? The FA, there
:56:43. > :56:46.is not much there in terms of giving them the room to grow and keeping
:56:47. > :56:51.them a little bit closer to the FA and to say, we want you to be part
:56:52. > :56:55.of this. There is not enough of a carrot. They make life very
:56:56. > :57:00.difficult to get your badges. It's not as easy as it should be. We
:57:01. > :57:05.allow so much experience just go out of the window. I personally would
:57:06. > :57:13.like to see somebody like Glenn Hoddle put in place somebody like,
:57:14. > :57:17.Alan, Rio, Lampard, with them to go along for the journey, to gain the
:57:18. > :57:22.experience. They kind of did that with Gary Neville alongside Roy
:57:23. > :57:26.Hodgson. But then they both go. I felt like Gary was tarnished with
:57:27. > :57:30.the same brush as Roy. We don't know if Gary had his own thoughts on
:57:31. > :57:35.whether he was being forced into making certain decisions. He might
:57:36. > :57:37.have had his own thoughts, but implementing those and telling your
:57:38. > :57:42.manager to do that is a different thing. I think they have made the
:57:43. > :57:46.right decision in giving it to Gareth. He knows a lot of the
:57:47. > :57:50.players from the U21s system. It gives people time to sit down and
:57:51. > :57:54.reflect. But it has been such an embarrassing week in English
:57:55. > :57:58.football. I didn't think it could get lower than the Euros when we
:57:59. > :58:01.were beaten by Iceland. I think we are at rock bottom now, so the one
:58:02. > :58:08.encouraging sign is, there is only one way to go now. Is it time to
:58:09. > :58:11.tear everything up and start again? Maybe take a chance, like the
:58:12. > :58:19.Germans have done in the past with their own will stop they also put
:58:20. > :58:23.they also put such emphasis on the coaching badges, but if they gave it
:58:24. > :58:27.to a foreign manager, what incentive does that give out to people coming
:58:28. > :58:31.to the end of their career, who have been in tournaments and no what has
:58:32. > :58:38.gone wrong. That's where you need to drag the information from, I think.
:58:39. > :58:40.Sam Allardyce's former club Sunderland, who began the day
:58:41. > :58:42.bottom of the table, welcomed West Brom to
:58:43. > :58:45.This fixture has finished 0-0 the past two seasons.
:58:46. > :58:47.Guy Mowbray was hoping for better this time around.
:58:48. > :58:51.COMMENTATOR: There haven't been many mentions of Sunderland amid this
:58:52. > :58:57.week's sorry England's tail. Maybe there ought to have been. We will
:58:58. > :59:00.never know, but if Sam Allardyce had stayed they might not have been
:59:01. > :59:05.bottom. Five Sunderland changes including a first league start this
:59:06. > :59:10.season for Wahbi Khazri, and one of his responsibilities is to improve
:59:11. > :59:14.the side's set piece delivery. Unchanged West Brom, including two
:59:15. > :59:17.Sunderland old boys from the start, Jonny Evans and James Maclean, who
:59:18. > :59:23.today plays in the Premier League for the 100th time. Sunderland start
:59:24. > :59:28.with only one result being thought about. Today they desperately need a
:59:29. > :59:34.win. Just one point from their opening six games. A two-week break
:59:35. > :59:35.coming up, and it's only four weeks before they play their next home
:59:36. > :59:52.game. Ndong with support from Manquillo,
:59:53. > :59:57.ignored, because Duncan Watmore was in field. Jermain Defoe misses the
:59:58. > :00:01.target, and he was on the side. Just the man David Moyes would have
:00:02. > :00:08.wanted the chance to fall too. He is on the side all right. All looking
:00:09. > :00:17.towards the net, and he's as mystified as anyone else.
:00:18. > :00:25.Chadli wants it. He's on his own to receive it. Turned and shot, well
:00:26. > :00:32.saved by Pickford. Matt Phillips again. McClean jobs. Allan Nyom...
:00:33. > :00:38.And it bounces back into the hands of Pickford. Safe in in. Jordan
:00:39. > :00:42.Pickford came into the Sunderland side after injury to Vito Mannone
:00:43. > :00:48.just three games into the season. Looks as though he might take some
:00:49. > :00:50.shifting from the side. Game number 1001 as a manager for Tony Pulis.
:00:51. > :01:04.The next millennium begins. Good determination, it bounced
:01:05. > :01:11.through nicely to Phillips. Here's Chadli, he's beaten Pickford. It's
:01:12. > :01:15.really well taken goal by Chadli. Yacob deserves some credit. It
:01:16. > :01:21.looked as though he might have lost the ball to Kirchhoff, but he went
:01:22. > :01:27.in determinedly. He has helped himself to his third go for -- his
:01:28. > :01:34.third goal in his fourth goal for them. You can hear how much that has
:01:35. > :01:39.deflated the crowd here. What will that do to confidence which had
:01:40. > :01:47.looked pretty good until that point? Watmore. Always struggling to keep
:01:48. > :01:53.his balance there. Dawson finds McLean. Albion could be in. Help
:01:54. > :01:59.from Rondon, it doesn't reach him though. What a chance for Albion to
:02:00. > :02:04.double their lead before the break. McClean is in, got to give a thumbs
:02:05. > :02:08.up to having Manquillo the way he got back to him. -- Manquillo, the
:02:09. > :02:19.way he got back to him. McClean is looking for Rondon,
:02:20. > :02:30.O'Shea's header has gone straight to Darren Fletcher. Beaten by Pickford.
:02:31. > :02:37.This is Dawson. Chadli. Able somehow to chest the ball down, turn and
:02:38. > :02:41.fire, but fire wide. It was one old friend to another with O Shea is
:02:42. > :02:45.finding his old Manchester United colleague Fletcher with the
:02:46. > :02:48.clearance. Strong hands from Pickford but he didn't get it to a
:02:49. > :02:53.safe place. Three Sunderland players could only stand and watch Chadli
:02:54. > :03:09.stand and get the shot away in amongst them. Kone was lucky, it
:03:10. > :03:14.wasn't decisive. He found an dong. -- Ndong. He found Van Aanholt. It
:03:15. > :03:23.beats McClean. Watmore has his head down. It's to, blocked by Evans,
:03:24. > :03:28.cleared by Evans. Two very good chances for Jermain Defoe, chances
:03:29. > :03:31.he would normally put away. Khazri did well to know where Defoe was but
:03:32. > :03:37.he wanted to be absolutely certain and it was well watched by Yacob and
:03:38. > :03:40.in particular, Evans. A frustrating match for Sunderland's manager, who
:03:41. > :03:50.just want the first Premier League win of the season.
:03:51. > :03:58.Comfortably knocked away by Yacob. Chadli threw towards Rondon. Rondon
:03:59. > :04:08.has to do it by himself. He is capable. He is denied by Pickford.
:04:09. > :04:15.Phillips was trying to get there to help him out but Rondon was never
:04:16. > :04:20.going to pass. He's wanting Phillips to run onto this. Van Aanholt can
:04:21. > :04:27.neatly find Ndong and get up for the return path as well. David Moyes
:04:28. > :04:38.waives his team forward. I use full run from Watmore behind Khazri.
:04:39. > :04:42.There from Patrick van Aanholt. -- there's the equaliser from Patrick
:04:43. > :04:48.van Aanholt. He's over to the team doctor. Patrick van Aanholt was the
:04:49. > :04:55.player at Spurs recently who was pulled out of the starting line up
:04:56. > :05:02.before the match because of problems reportedly with a cardio test and
:05:03. > :05:06.he's giving his thanks fair as he plays the ball into the ground and
:05:07. > :05:11.it loops up over the helpless foster to get Sunderland back into it and
:05:12. > :05:14.maybe to spark the sort of revival that Crystal Palace enjoyed against
:05:15. > :05:26.them last week. That's got the place buzzing.
:05:27. > :05:33.Phillips is well-placed. Phillips, right across the face. Gardner
:05:34. > :05:40.wasn't far away from it. I think 1-1 is pretty fair. In the whole balance
:05:41. > :05:48.of the afternoon. We needed a second goal. We had 21 crosses and needed
:05:49. > :05:50.shots on goal today. Their supporters were fantastic. They kept
:05:51. > :05:56.behind them and when it's 1-0 there's always a chance that they
:05:57. > :06:00.can score or you make a mistake and they can score, so we needed that
:06:01. > :06:03.second goal and I thought we had enough good opportunities in the
:06:04. > :06:10.final third to have at least got that but fair play to Sunderland.
:06:11. > :06:13.They kept going, kept at it and yes, we're disappointed. We were pushing
:06:14. > :06:18.for the second goal, it just didn't come. It's not a great result but at
:06:19. > :06:23.the end we have to accept it and now looking forward for the next game.
:06:24. > :06:28.We needed three points, it wasn't a point we were after but when it was
:06:29. > :06:33.1-0 down and into 75 minutes, I'd have taken a point if we could do
:06:34. > :06:36.but I've got to say well done to the players. They stuck at it, they
:06:37. > :06:40.never gave in, they kept going. They gave everything they could to get
:06:41. > :06:44.something out of the game. It was a managerial change that probably
:06:45. > :06:47.change things. After his problems on a fortnight ago, Patrick van Aanholt
:06:48. > :06:52.came on and transformed things. He did, just over half an hour ago,
:06:53. > :06:55.David Moyes actually put him on the left side of midfield rather than
:06:56. > :07:03.left-back and he changed the game. He gave them a bit of pace and
:07:04. > :07:09.energy and creative passing. There is one of his first ones, superb
:07:10. > :07:14.ball, a chance created, a half chance for Jermain Defoe. He was the
:07:15. > :07:19.one that grabbed the game by the scruff of his net, did his shift
:07:20. > :07:25.defensively also. Winslet, sets them up on the front foot again, helping
:07:26. > :07:28.out again -- he wins it. Away they go again. I thought he was
:07:29. > :07:33.brilliant, he definitely changed the game for them. A beautiful ball in
:07:34. > :07:38.behind, a weighted pass into Khazri, who perhaps should have done better,
:07:39. > :07:43.better touch. But this is the best part. Going back again, defensive,
:07:44. > :07:49.he's the one that wins it, drags his team forward. He gains 20-30 yards
:07:50. > :07:53.running with the ball. Good ball in, doesn't admire that, follows it.
:07:54. > :07:57.Good work by Watmore. I don't care if it's the scruff or not, he
:07:58. > :08:01.deserves it. David Moyes deserved it because it was willing to change it.
:08:02. > :08:05.When you put someone onto the pitch, you're asking them to affect the
:08:06. > :08:09.game and he definitely did that. Is the third time in four seasons
:08:10. > :08:13.Sunderland have failed to win a game in the first seven matches.
:08:14. > :08:16.Extraordinary start? It goes in keeping with how they've struggled
:08:17. > :08:21.towards the end of each of those seasons as well. It's not happy
:08:22. > :08:27.times in those games. Something needs to change. They should
:08:28. > :08:31.probably start the season in March. Tony Pulis thought they should have
:08:32. > :08:36.gone on and won the game from 1-0 up. They were profligate times. They
:08:37. > :08:40.were sloppy. They got into very good situations into the final third.
:08:41. > :08:46.They got the goal, that was lacking in the second goal. A decent chance,
:08:47. > :08:53.a good chance from McClean. Sloppy from Chadli. Final pass was poor.
:08:54. > :08:57.Decision-making was poor. If that -- if they had got the second goal
:08:58. > :09:00.there was no doubt about it. Rondon went on to win the game because the
:09:01. > :09:03.pressure was building upon Sunderland. OK.
:09:04. > :09:05.Time to catch up on last night's action.
:09:06. > :09:07.Everton were looking to bounce back from defeat at Bournemouth
:09:08. > :09:10.against a Crystal Palace side seeking a fourth straight win.
:09:11. > :09:24.Yannick Bolasie scored nine times in 19 Premier League appearances for
:09:25. > :09:27.Crystal Palace, now Everton's biggest summer acquisition bids to
:09:28. > :09:31.score against them as he faces his former club for the first time. His
:09:32. > :09:35.former team-mate Williams -- Wilfried Zaha is recalled by Pardew
:09:36. > :09:38.as he changes the winning team. He replaces Cabaye for Palace, who have
:09:39. > :09:49.lost only one of their last six meetings against Everton. Looking
:09:50. > :09:56.for their third home league win in a row, unbeaten in six at Goodison in
:09:57. > :10:02.the Premier League. He's found him brilliantly, the offside flag was up
:10:03. > :10:05.on Damien Delaney. He's my -- Damien Delaney is mightily relieved, had he
:10:06. > :10:17.been onside that was a penalty to Everton. I mistake. Lukaku against
:10:18. > :10:21.Delaney. Straight at Mandanda. Trying to create something for
:10:22. > :10:28.himself. He wasn't happy last weekend. Some players are finding it
:10:29. > :10:35.difficult to adapt to the style that he wants. Fabulous play. A summer
:10:36. > :10:42.signing from Aston Villa, a former Villa player looking for Lukaku.
:10:43. > :10:47.Might fall to the Belgian again, it was a high foot as well. It's an
:10:48. > :10:56.Everton free kick, right on the edge of the penalty area. Delaney saw the

:11:02. > :11:06.hasn't made any contact and you could argue it should be an indirect
:11:07. > :11:14.free kick anyway. Lukaku with it. And they made the most of that
:11:15. > :11:18.opportunity. Ramallo Lukaku in his -- with his fifth goal in six
:11:19. > :11:23.Premier League games to give Everton lead, up and over the wall. Mandanda
:11:24. > :11:30.indicating who wanted the water jump. They didn't. Everton --
:11:31. > :11:37.Mandanda indicated he wanted the wall to job. They didn't and Everton
:11:38. > :11:39.are in front. Ledley kept it alive to Zaha. Off goes Ward, outside of
:11:40. > :11:54.him. Ledley is trying to inject more pace
:11:55. > :11:59.into the game. Benteke jumping and jumping superbly. What a header from
:12:00. > :12:06.Christian Benteke. Something out of nothing. He had so much to do there.
:12:07. > :12:12.What a leap. An inch perfect header. That is exactly why Crystal Palace
:12:13. > :12:17.brought into the club. Everton one, Palace one. That has changed the
:12:18. > :12:21.atmosphere around Goodison Park. Benteke back on Merseyside with a
:12:22. > :12:32.goal. Heerkens Bolasie against his former club. He's got... What a
:12:33. > :12:41.challenge from Kelly. He was the saviour, Martin Kelly. The two
:12:42. > :12:45.Belgians, international team-mates. Lukaku and Benteke, on the
:12:46. > :12:49.scoresheet. Finally poised at Goodison. Palace corner. The fifth
:12:50. > :13:05.of the game. Away by Bolasie. Straight back in
:13:06. > :13:11.from Ward. It's another good header. It's Delaney this time. Palace lead,
:13:12. > :13:24.but the flag is up. Flagged for offside, I think. Delaney is on.
:13:25. > :13:27.That's a big call. Watch James McArthur, he's offside. He doesn't
:13:28. > :13:34.touch the ball but does the official think that he's active and in some
:13:35. > :13:39.way has interfered with the goalkeeper's vision? That is the
:13:40. > :13:48.thought process of Simon Bennett, the referee's assistant. Few issues
:13:49. > :13:59.with the officials so far tonight. And Everton corner.
:14:00. > :14:06.Barkley's corner. A little touch from Barry. Jason Puncheon on the
:14:07. > :14:17.post in the right place at the right time.
:14:18. > :14:22.Townsend, in towards Benteke. Well defended the game. Cleared only as
:14:23. > :14:29.far as Zaha. Another block and another corner.
:14:30. > :14:37.Away by Jagielka. Back from Ward. The flag stayed down that time. It
:14:38. > :14:42.was a big chance for Tomkins. Everton were waiting for the offside
:14:43. > :14:49.flag to go up and it wasn't forthcoming. Couldn't really stretch
:14:50. > :14:50.Stekelenburg in the end. It's all square, Everton one, Crystal Palace
:14:51. > :15:03.one. 1-0 up, you are disappointed with
:15:04. > :15:09.the final result, but I think it's a fair result. Delaney's header, if
:15:10. > :15:16.you were Alan Pardew would you be aggrieved it didn't stand? Of
:15:17. > :15:19.course. It's a goal, and then maybe 1-2 to Crystal Palace. But maybe a
:15:20. > :15:24.lot of decisions I didn't understand. Terrific point, you may
:15:25. > :15:29.be disappointed you couldn't get all three? Maybe. I thought we played
:15:30. > :15:35.well. We showed resilience again, went behind at Sunderland and again
:15:36. > :15:38.today. We fought back and were the bosses of the second half, I
:15:39. > :15:42.thought. Have you had an explanation as to why Damien Delaney's goal
:15:43. > :15:50.wasn't given? It's a tricky one all round for the referee. I want -- I
:15:51. > :15:54.won't hold them to ransom on that. And to come from behind at a place
:15:55. > :15:58.like this, not many teams will do that this season. We have worked
:15:59. > :16:01.hard this year. We are trying to change things around. I was pleased
:16:02. > :16:05.with the second half because a lot of teams, and I've had teams who
:16:06. > :16:08.maybe couldn't cope with the second half, but we pushed on and have the
:16:09. > :16:13.resilience to do it and the quality to get back into it. Palace on a
:16:14. > :16:18.roll, and they could conceivably on another day have been given the
:16:19. > :16:21.decision. What did you make of the offside goal? I thought it was a
:16:22. > :16:27.correct decision. A tough decision. Delaney gets up well and win is a
:16:28. > :16:32.good header. If you watch McArthur, he makes a movement towards the
:16:33. > :16:38.ball, which is the law this season. We see there that he goes to try and
:16:39. > :16:45.head it there. The linesman over there, Simon Bennett, he gets it
:16:46. > :16:49.absolutely spot on. He calls the referee Jon Moss over. Not very
:16:50. > :16:52.often we praise the officials, but that was a tough decision and one
:16:53. > :16:56.they got right. You don't mind them taking time to get it right.
:16:57. > :17:04.Belgian strikers in form, one for each club. Yeah, absolutely
:17:05. > :17:09.brilliant goals. Lukaku's first-ever free kick in the Premier League.
:17:10. > :17:13.That he's actually taken. I don't know why he suddenly thought he'd
:17:14. > :17:19.had enough,. Where has he been hiding? This header is phenomenal.
:17:20. > :17:24.To generate that type of power. The cross isn't sent in with pace. He
:17:25. > :17:28.gets above him, and if you see a better header than that this season
:17:29. > :17:32.I will be surprised. Their game has changed with him in the side. Balls
:17:33. > :17:40.into the box are a constant that and it's what Palace needed. Three goals
:17:41. > :17:44.in his last four games. Lukaku with his fifth of the season. Both on
:17:45. > :17:48.fire. Doesn't half make a difference when you're strikers scoring. We are
:17:49. > :17:51.just about out of time. Thank you to you both. Let's have a look at the
:17:52. > :17:54.Premier League table. Liverpool's fourth consecutive win
:17:55. > :17:56.moves them up to second. Leaders Manchester City
:17:57. > :17:58.take their undefeated record to fellow pacesetters
:17:59. > :18:00.Tottenham on Sunday. Sunderland are still searching
:18:01. > :18:02.for a first win but a point against West Brom moves them
:18:03. > :18:06.off the bottom. West Ham also somewhat
:18:07. > :18:09.stopped their rot today, but they too remain in the drop zone
:18:10. > :18:22.alongside Stoke, who play A look at the morning papers. The
:18:23. > :18:25.Mail on Sunday reporting that Manchester United's uncapped forward
:18:26. > :18:30.Jesse Lingard will be included in Gareth Southgate's first England
:18:31. > :18:34.squad. The Sunday express reporting that Ryan Giggs is set to replace
:18:35. > :18:35.Francesco Guidolin as Swansea manager during the international
:18:36. > :18:36.break. Liverpool are galloping
:18:37. > :18:40.up the table.
