After another depressing week for English football we needed

:00:45.:00:46.

something to lift the spirits and the Premier League

:00:47.:00:48.

Six games on the way for tonight's two-ball

:00:49.:00:51.

We start at the Liberty Stadium where Swansea, who've not won

:00:52.:00:57.

since the opening day of the season, faced an in-form Liverpool side

:00:58.:01:00.

Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton.

:01:01.:01:12.

Swansea haven't won at home in the league since the last time they

:01:13.:01:18.

hosted Liverpool, in May. Jurgen Klopp's side words preoccupied

:01:19.:01:22.

against the game with Villa Real. Now they have a laser-like focus on

:01:23.:01:28.

the league. There's one change for the home team today, with Llorente

:01:29.:01:32.

missing the match because of a rib injury. Borja Baston, a summer

:01:33.:01:39.

arrival from Atletico Madrid, makes his first Premier League start.

:01:40.:01:42.

Fernandes is not written it enough to return, so Mike van der Hoorn

:01:43.:01:48.

continues alongside Amat in. Lovren returns for Liverpool after missing

:01:49.:01:53.

last week's win over Hull with a virus. Loris Karius keeps his place

:01:54.:01:59.

in the goal up week after breaking his area league debut. Origi is

:02:00.:02:04.

named in the substitutes after recovering from a foot injury.

:02:05.:02:07.

Swansea City with just one point from nine at home so far, that point

:02:08.:02:12.

accrued in a 2-2 draw with Chelsea. They've lost a couple at home

:02:13.:02:18.

already. Routledge River Tawe space to run into. Rangel on the outside

:02:19.:02:26.

if required. Over the top of the bar, the first chance of the game

:02:27.:02:34.

falls to Swansea. It was a good one. It could not be guided in past

:02:35.:02:39.

carriers. An excellent -- past Karius. An excellent chance for

:02:40.:02:47.

Borja Baston. Swansea computing here. Now Sigurdsson forward, the

:02:48.:02:53.

flag stays down. Borja Baston racing through. Sigurdsson is inside the

:02:54.:02:57.

penalty area but suddenly found himself surrounded, as redshirts

:02:58.:03:00.

came piling back into the box. Promising from Swansea, just about

:03:01.:03:02.

onside. Karius stays on his line. It's in,

:03:03.:03:16.

over the line by Leroy Fer. Swansea City have the lead after seven

:03:17.:03:20.

minutes. Just the start they needed. The pressure is really on. They

:03:21.:03:25.

haven't won since the opening day and what a confidence booster this

:03:26.:03:31.

could be. The ball headed back in at the far post, flicked into what is

:03:32.:03:35.

Leroy Fer, who added the finishing touch. It was a tight one. I think

:03:36.:03:39.

he's just about onside as the ball comes over. It may have deflected

:03:40.:03:45.

off Lovren anyway. Another game goes by in which Liverpool have failed to

:03:46.:03:48.

keep a clean sheet. They haven't managed one at all so far in the

:03:49.:03:52.

Premier League this season. It hasn't mattered with the number of

:03:53.:03:55.

goals they've scored. Lallana has taken aback, stayed on the ground.

:03:56.:04:01.

-- has taken a hit, stayed on the ground. A hit on the leg. Lallana

:04:02.:04:12.

may have to come off, it would seem. Forward by Milner, straight onto

:04:13.:04:18.

Jordi Amat's had. That will be a free kick for a foul by Henderson. I

:04:19.:04:24.

should think he will go into the book. First yellow card of the game.

:04:25.:04:29.

Liverpool not really enjoying this first half. Gylfi Sigurdsson with

:04:30.:04:34.

the pixel Swansea. Was another chance to make it to and Borja, with

:04:35.:04:42.

his second heading opportunity of the game can't find the back of the

:04:43.:04:47.

net. Steve Kaplan and Jason Irving, the owners of Swansea City, here to

:04:48.:04:52.

watch the match today. I'm sure happy with the start made by the

:04:53.:04:57.

team. There's the man who wasn't -- whose side haven't won since the

:04:58.:05:04.

opening day against Burnley. I delivery into Firmino, this is

:05:05.:05:10.

Sturridge, no penalty and a free kick for Swansea City. There will be

:05:11.:05:15.

a booking for simulation for Daniel Sturridge, from Mike Oliver.

:05:16.:05:19.

Sturridge bursting into the box, felt that touch on his chest from

:05:20.:05:24.

the Swansea defender. It wasn't a heavy touch, but there was a touch.

:05:25.:05:32.

Mike Oliver saying, no, he will be disappointed to see his team hasn't

:05:33.:05:36.

had a shot on target in the first half. Firmino, away from Britton and

:05:37.:05:41.

Fabianski team required to make a decent save for the first time in

:05:42.:05:47.

the game. Certainly -- the crowd is getting behind the home team, a

:05:48.:05:50.

tremendous atmosphere inside the Liberty. Mane for Liverpool, gets a

:05:51.:05:58.

free kick for the challenge by Leon Brittan. He will be booked by the

:05:59.:06:08.

referee. Mane is on the wall, Coutinho that's the ball straight

:06:09.:06:14.

into the middle of it. Bacchin by Henderson, Firmino, Liverpool level

:06:15.:06:19.

at 1-1. Swansea's defenders are across at the far side, there's no

:06:20.:06:23.

flag. Firmino celebrates. Liverpool are back in the game. Nine minutes

:06:24.:06:28.

into the second half. As the ball comes in, he's onside. Initially the

:06:29.:06:33.

wall does its job, it deflects back out off Leroy Fer. Roberto Firmino

:06:34.:06:39.

is there Liverpool. To score his fourth goal of the season. Liverpool

:06:40.:06:44.

have taken less than ten minutes in the second half to come right back

:06:45.:06:53.

in it. Liverpool's tales are up. Nathaniel Clyne, Wijnaldum going

:06:54.:06:56.

racing through the middle but looks frustrated the ball didn't come.

:06:57.:07:00.

It's still with Liverpool now. Mane in towards Sturridge.

:07:01.:07:05.

Coutinho. Suddenly, Swansea City are creaking and on the ropes. Much,

:07:06.:07:17.

much better from Liverpool. Coutinho combining with Wijnaldum and not far

:07:18.:07:23.

away from finding the corner of the net. He is looking a lot happier

:07:24.:07:30.

since the break. And no wonder. Suddenly, wave after wave of

:07:31.:07:34.

red-shirted attacks bearing down on the Swansea penalty area. Van der

:07:35.:07:40.

Hoorn challenge, no foul, it's James Milner, Bacchin Tomane and the block

:07:41.:07:46.

is made by Kyle Naughton. -- back into Mane. The referee had a great

:07:47.:07:54.

view, waving play on, and Mane going for gold, sees the ball ricocheting

:07:55.:07:56.

and deflecting over the top. Just hangs in the air, doesn't quite

:07:57.:08:13.

land on Firmino's head. Well, hooked up high in the air but no breast --

:08:14.:08:19.

no distance at all by Barrow. Firmino tries the shot. The referee

:08:20.:08:23.

gives Liverpool penalty. What frustration for Swansea City. Rangel

:08:24.:08:28.

with a challenge on Firmino, here it is. Firmino down, as he felt

:08:29.:08:33.

Rangel's arms touch the back of his shirt. Liverpool now with a glorious

:08:34.:08:40.

opportunity to take the lead and James Milner will try and give

:08:41.:08:42.

Liverpool the lead here. That's precisely what he does. That could

:08:43.:08:47.

be a hammer blow for Swansea City today. In the 84th minute of the

:08:48.:08:56.

game, an excellent penalty from Milner. Liverpool lead for the first

:08:57.:09:00.

time today and they have just over five minutes to hang onto it.

:09:01.:09:10.

Swansea City, have they got a final flourish in them to rescue

:09:11.:09:14.

something, or will Sturridge budget beyond reach? He can't. Coutinho

:09:15.:09:19.

brings a save from Fabianski you. Van der Hoorn can't get the ball

:09:20.:09:23.

away. Mike van der Hoorn finally does clear, up towards Barrow, but

:09:24.:09:27.

there hasn't really been a threat from Swansea since half-time in this

:09:28.:09:35.

game. Rangel with a delivery. Van der Hoorn can't turn it home. What a

:09:36.:09:42.

chance, right at the last moment of the game. Mike van der Hoorn, up

:09:43.:09:46.

from the back and a clear view of goal, and Swansea's last opportunity

:09:47.:09:52.

at salvaging a point has surely gone, now. We need a good result but

:09:53.:09:59.

this is not a good period for us. The performance was good. My players

:10:00.:10:07.

gave me an answer of character and qualities in the first half,

:10:08.:10:12.

perfect, spot on, I think. The resort -- the right result would

:10:13.:10:16.

have been a draw. Did you feel any pressure coming into the game

:10:17.:10:19.

because of recent results? There's a lot of talk about the manager and

:10:20.:10:24.

his future? I think we showed today that we are behind our coach. We

:10:25.:10:29.

want to win for our coach. We didn't. I thought we could have done

:10:30.:10:35.

better in the first half, I know we could have done better. Our build-up

:10:36.:10:47.

was static, so it was easy, so we forced a reaction in the second

:10:48.:10:53.

half. The we got the job done but we can't do that every week because we

:10:54.:10:56.

will be punished and it will be difficult to get back in the game.

:10:57.:11:00.

You had a penalty kick, James Milner is a cool customer to have, it

:11:01.:11:06.

seems. I've no idea, I didn't see it! I trust you will be watching

:11:07.:11:13.

tonight, Jurgen! Distinctive halves, I have to say. Very different.

:11:14.:11:17.

Swansea in the first half, pretty dominant really. They were dominant.

:11:18.:11:22.

They deserved their 1-0 lead. You can't accuse the Swansea players of

:11:23.:11:26.

not working for their manager, who is obviously under pressure. But

:11:27.:11:29.

Swansea did to Liverpool what Liverpool have been doing to most

:11:30.:11:32.

teams this season. They actually pressed them high they worked very

:11:33.:11:39.

hard, and they forced Liverpool into mistakes. They basically stopped

:11:40.:11:45.

them playing and didn't allow them to get their football game going.

:11:46.:11:51.

They didn't go in one, so they were passed off. They went as a group and

:11:52.:11:56.

hunted in a pack and won the ball high up the pitch. A decent effort

:11:57.:12:01.

from Herb -- from Fer, who did very well. The middle of the park,

:12:02.:12:08.

they're all working for the manager, forcing the wall back to the

:12:09.:12:11.

goalkeeper and just not letting them play at all. For that first half

:12:12.:12:13.

they were brilliant, deserved their 1-0 at half-time. There could have

:12:14.:12:18.

been some more. By contrast, the second half is very much belonged to

:12:19.:12:23.

Liverpool? It did, as good a Swansea were in the first half I thought

:12:24.:12:26.

Liverpool were poor. Their attitude and approach to the game, I don't

:12:27.:12:30.

think Jurgen Klopp would have been happy with that and there would have

:12:31.:12:33.

been harsh words said at half-time. You can almost tell there was

:12:34.:12:36.

because the reaction from the players in the second half was

:12:37.:12:40.

completely brilliant. That's what you want from your players. Use all

:12:41.:12:44.

their the clip of them hunting impacts to get the ball back,

:12:45.:12:50.

players making runs now, reactions to get the ball back as soon as

:12:51.:12:54.

possible. Milner was influential, involved in a lot of very good play

:12:55.:12:58.

in that second half, not giving up on anything, making sure he was put

:12:59.:13:02.

in -- putting the Swansea players under a lot of pressure all the

:13:03.:13:06.

time. When you do that, you tend to create chances. Players were

:13:07.:13:09.

releasing themselves from positions and then you can break from these

:13:10.:13:14.

deep deeper positions. Liverpool in the second half were very dominant.

:13:15.:13:19.

Time and time again players released themselves, Swansea just tired I

:13:20.:13:27.

felt. They caught them on the ball, sorry, on a number of occasions,

:13:28.:13:30.

where they could have put them to bed. They did deserve their 2-1 in

:13:31.:13:35.

the end. It was that first half display was not so good. It

:13:36.:13:39.

certainly wasn't. I suppose if Liverpool are to be title contenders

:13:40.:13:42.

they are going to have to work on their defending set pieces because

:13:43.:13:47.

they are letting a few in? Yes, they are. The third goal this season

:13:48.:13:51.

they've conceded from a set piece and they've conceded too many, also

:13:52.:13:57.

from normal play. You've got three guys marking, Henderson, Wijnaldum

:13:58.:14:01.

and Milner. The rest are zonal marking. Henderson is on Fer, the

:14:02.:14:06.

eventual goal-scorer. He is marking him, his man. When that ball comes

:14:07.:14:10.

in, he's got to stick with him. If he drops to Fer he's still got a

:14:11.:14:16.

free header. Henderson has already lost. But when the ball goes over

:14:17.:14:21.

your head you can't just switch off say that's my job done now because

:14:22.:14:25.

it hasn't gone to my marker. You have to engage again and find out

:14:26.:14:29.

where your money is. Henderson is six or seven yards off Fer, they

:14:30.:14:33.

lose their head at the far post and it is a tap in from yard out. That

:14:34.:14:38.

is just switching off and thinking someone else will do the rest for

:14:39.:14:42.

me. That's not the case. You've got to stay alive and stay alert when

:14:43.:14:45.

the ball goes over your head. Engage and see where it goes. Can they

:14:46.:14:49.

contend? I think so. Agree? Yes. After picking up just one point

:14:50.:14:56.

from their last three games, Chelsea were in action at Hull,

:14:57.:14:58.

who've picked up just one point Those defeats at Arsenal and against

:14:59.:15:11.

Liverpool poured cold water on early talk of Chelsea being fit for a

:15:12.:15:15.

title challenge this season. They need to regroup, and maybe Hull

:15:16.:15:19.

provide ideal opposition, they have only won four of 44 meetings between

:15:20.:15:24.

the clubs. Hull's lightning start of the season is a distant memory. Mike

:15:25.:15:29.

Phelan makes three changes, Elmohamady is suspended after his

:15:30.:15:32.

red card at Anfield last week. David Meyler comes into right back.

:15:33.:15:37.

Henriksen and Mbokani make their first starts. Huddlestone and

:15:38.:15:41.

Hernandez make way. Antonio Conte has dropped Ivanovic and Fabregas

:15:42.:15:46.

today with Marcos Alonso coming in at left back. Four years after

:15:47.:15:51.

signing for Chelsea, Victor Moses makes his full Premier League debut

:15:52.:15:58.

for the club. Before kick-off, a minute's applause to mark the sad

:15:59.:16:09.

passing of a 13-year-old fan, Megan Pratt, who was going to be mascot

:16:10.:16:12.

today but died on Thursday after a brave battle with illness.

:16:13.:16:17.

Jake Livermore able to shake off Hazard. The Hull Golden Boy at the

:16:18.:16:24.

moment, Robert Snodgrass with four goals already this season. Useful

:16:25.:16:28.

dummy and Mbokani goes down under David Luiz.

:16:29.:16:34.

Clumsy challenge from the Brazilian. Ideal territory for Robert

:16:35.:16:42.

Snodgrass. Scored a wonderful free kick against Burnley to rescue a

:16:43.:16:48.

point not so long ago. Takes it on, and the deflection made life

:16:49.:16:52.

uncomfortable for Courtois. The big Belgian had to change direction

:16:53.:16:57.

here. That's a splendid stop from Courtois. Not the start he was

:16:58.:17:01.

anticipating. David Meyler, closed down quickly by

:17:02.:17:14.

Alonso, but still found Sam Clucas. Snodgrass crosses deep. It drops for

:17:15.:17:21.

Mason, and again. Twice Chelsea got bodies in the way. Alonso was sucked

:17:22.:17:30.

out by the need to close down David Meyler and there is suddenly a

:17:31.:17:34.

massive space for Snodgrass. So much time, Hull had two attacking that,

:17:35.:17:39.

Mason's first shot blocked, as was the second.

:17:40.:17:44.

Kante feeds Moses who is one-on-one against Robertson, whose

:17:45.:17:52.

backpedalling. Moses, again guilty of overelaborate play. The chance

:17:53.:18:00.

was there to get it in the box. Just wonder if Moses might have been

:18:01.:18:05.

caught as he tries to dance his way into the box. Diomande's challenge.

:18:06.:18:13.

The ball has gone, and he catches Moses.

:18:14.:18:18.

On by Mbokani. Snodgrass stopped initially by Luiz. Cahill gets it

:18:19.:18:31.

clear. Livermore regains its the whole city so well. Mason with the

:18:32.:18:37.

shot, and Courtois with good hands to turn it around. -- regains it for

:18:38.:18:45.

Hull city. Mason is never shy to take it on from distance. The first

:18:46.:18:51.

half looks as though it will finish as it started, with a great Courtois

:18:52.:18:53.

stop. Hazard turns away from Diomande.

:18:54.:19:08.

Steps inside Robertson, and it's a good drive. Finally David Marshall

:19:09.:19:12.

is required to make a superb stop. This was a dazzling run and a

:19:13.:19:17.

powerful drive. Chelsea unbeaten against Hull city in the Premier

:19:18.:19:21.

League, winning six of their eight meetings. Livermore, oh dear.

:19:22.:19:32.

Straight to Willian. Diego Costa, Marshall comes a long way and Costa

:19:33.:19:38.

against the post. And Kante blasts it over the bar. Hull City living

:19:39.:19:45.

dangerously there. It all stemmed from the careless ball out of

:19:46.:19:49.

defence. When it was fed through to Costa, kept his feet, got away from

:19:50.:19:54.

Marshall. The flick from Livermore took it on to the post. N'Golo Kante

:19:55.:19:59.

just isn't a finisher. Kante seizes the loose ball once

:20:00.:20:17.

more. Costa, so strong and determined. Willian, gets the shot

:20:18.:20:24.

away! Chelsea take the lead on the hour. Such an improvement in this

:20:25.:20:30.

second half. They needed it. Whatever he said to them during the

:20:31.:20:36.

break has paid dividends. It was sloppy from Robertson. Here is the

:20:37.:20:43.

key moment, Costa against Curtis Davies. Costa uses it wisely.

:20:44.:20:48.

Willian used Hazard as a decoy. Knew what he was trying to do and he

:20:49.:20:52.

bends it magnificently into the top corner. His second goal of the

:20:53.:20:58.

campaign. His last goal was Chelsea's last victory against

:20:59.:21:02.

Burnley. Will that goal set them up for a return to winning ways? Hull

:21:03.:21:05.

City 0- one Chelsea. Alonso finds Matic. Matic goes on,

:21:06.:21:19.

and on he goes. Might have to do it all himself. Diego Costa! 2-0.

:21:20.:21:27.

Almost an identical replica to the gold from Willian. In terms of where

:21:28.:21:36.

Diego Costa put the shot. His sixth of the campaign.

:21:37.:21:43.

But how much credit does Nemanja Matic deserve? His striding,

:21:44.:21:51.

purposeful, determined run. Diego Costa knew what was on as the ball

:21:52.:21:55.

rolled his way. It's a long way back for Hull City now. Chelsea rampant.

:21:56.:22:06.

You sense Chelsea are almost toying with Hull before looking for the

:22:07.:22:12.

third goal. They might get it now. Willian goes down. No interest from

:22:13.:22:17.

either the referee or his assistant on the far side. Davies is the

:22:18.:22:22.

defender. He's got the ball but then catches Willian afterwards. That's a

:22:23.:22:23.

penalty. Cahill looking for Oscar, who is on

:22:24.:22:34.

the shoulder of Livermore. Willian in support, so is Costa. Alonso is

:22:35.:22:40.

arriving. He finds across, and it's a good one. Pedro couldn't apply the

:22:41.:22:46.

finish at the back post. He was scuttling in as quickly as he could,

:22:47.:22:51.

the little Spaniard. Could have been three, four, more, but Chelsea will

:22:52.:22:56.

settle for two and three points. After the last couple of weeks we

:22:57.:22:59.

have been working on different things. We have been conceding a lot

:23:00.:23:04.

of goals and I think today the team concentrated for 90 minutes and kept

:23:05.:23:08.

the clean sheet. You made changes with Ivanovic and Fabregas left out.

:23:09.:23:11.

Do you think that decision was justified? No, but when you are in a

:23:12.:23:21.

great team you have the opportunity to choose the best situation every

:23:22.:23:30.

week, in every game. Then it's normal that I want to win. I've

:23:31.:23:37.

asked the players to learn certain lessons and I think deep down we are

:23:38.:23:41.

doing that. We are slowly getting there. It's seven points. We have to

:23:42.:23:44.

be pretty pleased with that return because a lot of other teams haven't

:23:45.:23:49.

got that. The defeats for Chelsea were very heavy, but it's important

:23:50.:23:53.

to have a good answer, a good reply today, from the players. Yeah, we

:23:54.:24:03.

must follow it this way. Important victory for Chelsea. Interesting

:24:04.:24:07.

watching Kante at Chelsea. Slightly different role, hasn't he? He was

:24:08.:24:12.

terrific day but playing slightly different to how he did at

:24:13.:24:16.

Leicester. At Leicester he had less possession. He was naturally deeper.

:24:17.:24:21.

Chelsea control far more games so he finds himself in more advanced

:24:22.:24:25.

positions on the pitch. Interesting to see him perform at times in these

:24:26.:24:30.

positions. Simple ball out wide, getting people involved. I like to

:24:31.:24:35.

see Kante's reaction when they lose the ball, that's why they bought

:24:36.:24:40.

him, he sets the trigger, trying to win the ball back for his side. Did

:24:41.:24:44.

that on numerous occasions today. Wins the ball there. In the second

:24:45.:24:49.

half he was the catalyst, he wanted to be the driving force in midfield

:24:50.:24:54.

to take the game to Hull. He gets in these positions here and doesn't

:24:55.:24:58.

quite trust himself. Tries to find Hazard. Most midfielders would let

:24:59.:25:03.

fly there. He has the ability to do it. When he picks up his head and

:25:04.:25:08.

has the weight of pass across. Lovely slip to Costa. Not this bit!

:25:09.:25:13.

The follow-up, you have to say he went to pieces a little bit. But

:25:14.:25:18.

again, winning the ball back all game for Chelsea and in the second

:25:19.:25:21.

half he was the main driving force that enabled them to get the 2-0

:25:22.:25:27.

victory. Good display from him. The other positive is Diego Costa back

:25:28.:25:31.

to his best. Six Premier League goals this season. Today I thought

:25:32.:25:37.

he was brilliant. He led by example. He played in the right way, was

:25:38.:25:42.

aggressive in the right way. He brought his team-mates into the

:25:43.:25:48.

game. Since he signed for Chelsea, there is only Aguero and Harry Kane

:25:49.:25:51.

who have scored more Premier League goals than he has. He ran in behind,

:25:52.:25:56.

he was very difficult to play against today because he was in that

:25:57.:26:01.

right mood, not looking to dive around and get other players booked.

:26:02.:26:05.

He was aggressive in the right way. Assist for Willian. Everything about

:26:06.:26:12.

his game today I liked. This was a brilliant run. Didn't get it but he

:26:13.:26:19.

created space for Matic. First time, back of the net. The keeper has no

:26:20.:26:23.

chance. When he plays like that I'm a massive fan of his. Hull, a good

:26:24.:26:29.

start, but they have gone off the boil. A tough run of fixtures. It's

:26:30.:26:33.

perhaps the lack of quality am at the end product. Exactly that. For

:26:34.:26:41.

45 minutes they held their own, passing it around nicely, and they

:26:42.:26:45.

seemed to have composure in the right areas of the pitch. It was a

:26:46.:26:49.

very assured performance from them. You can tell they have played a lot

:26:50.:26:53.

of tough sides because they did not seem overawed by the occasion of

:26:54.:26:57.

playing Chelsea. In areas of the pitch like that, do they have that

:26:58.:27:02.

added quality? It was tight in there, Mason and Clucas playing

:27:03.:27:06.

well. But did they have the options? The ball comes to Mbokani, and it

:27:07.:27:14.

comes back to Mason, are they doing enough to attack the Chelsea

:27:15.:27:18.

defence? It wasn't enough today, far too easy for the Chelsea defence.

:27:19.:27:23.

The ball would often go back and switch. More often than not it would

:27:24.:27:28.

come to nothing. I feel with the run of games they have coming up,

:27:29.:27:32.

Bournemouth away, stuck at home, Watford away, still tough fixtures,

:27:33.:27:38.

but this is the area Mike Phelan and his team need to refine. -- Stoke

:27:39.:27:40.

away. Two down, four to go. It's into Troy Deeney. That's

:27:41.:27:58.

through and wide. Well saved by Jordan Pickford. Little touch from

:27:59.:28:01.

Barry. Bournemouth manager Eddie Howe

:28:02.:28:11.

described being linked to the England job as an unwelcome

:28:12.:28:13.

distraction ahead of his side's trip to Watford, who came unstuck

:28:14.:28:16.

at Burnley on Monday night. If what Watford win tonight they go

:28:17.:28:24.

but Chelsea into the top eight of the Premier League. It's a high one,

:28:25.:28:28.

and it's gone in from the header down. Lots of questions for Watford

:28:29.:28:32.

to answer about how they defended that. Right foot cross into the

:28:33.:28:35.

mixer, into the back of the net and Will -- Keane doubles their lead.

:28:36.:28:48.

Steve Wilson was at Vicarage Road. COMMENTATOR: Three years ago, Troy

:28:49.:28:52.

Deeney scored three in a Zig Zag in one Watford win over Bournemouth,

:28:53.:28:56.

Eddie Howe's heaviest managerial defeat. Two more goals will take

:28:57.:29:01.

Deeney to 100 for the club. It's just over two years since Jack

:29:02.:29:05.

Wilshere played 90 minutes and six months since Bournemouth won away.

:29:06.:29:11.

Wilshere start in an unchanged side. Graham Taylor here, the former

:29:12.:29:14.

Watford manager, who celebrated his birthday this week. Nearly 20 years

:29:15.:29:19.

since Bournemouth won on this ground. Wilson with Sebastian Prodl,

:29:20.:29:26.

and the free kick given for handball by the Austrian. Yellow card for

:29:27.:29:30.

Sebastian Prodl, who felt he had been knocked over and fouled.

:29:31.:29:34.

Mazzarri is absolutely livid with that decision from Mike Dean. Prodl

:29:35.:29:42.

thought he had been fouled but knew if the decision didn't go his way

:29:43.:29:49.

then he would be in trouble. Looks like six of one, half dozen of the

:29:50.:29:56.

other. Prodl knew there was a problem, deliberately handled and no

:29:57.:29:59.

question about that. Mazzarri is on a final warning, I think.

:30:00.:30:05.

Smith tried the backheel to find Wilshere but Stanislas is onto it.

:30:06.:30:12.

Deflection on the cross. Wilson's header. 1-0 to Bournemouth. Callum

:30:13.:30:20.

Wilson puts Bournemouth in. -- front. A deflection on the cross,

:30:21.:30:27.

and it's a lovely finish. Good play by Stanislas, a little deflection

:30:28.:30:32.

off Holebas, but it went on to the head of Callum Wilson, who surprised

:30:33.:30:35.

Heurelho Gomes, who will not be happy with his contribution.

:30:36.:30:40.

Bournemouth lead by a goal to nothing.

:30:41.:30:46.

Play on, says Mike Dean, though he is just acknowledged the foul by

:30:47.:30:54.

Smith. Here's Ighalo, trying to turn Arter. Ighalo, nicely left by

:30:55.:31:00.

Roberto Pereyra. Excellent double save. Artur Boruc, it's a yellow

:31:01.:31:08.

card, shown to Adam Smith for the foul in the build-up. Well spotted

:31:09.:31:13.

by Mike Dean. Holebas really felt bad. It was high and dangerous on

:31:14.:31:18.

the left-back is still down. It was a good advantage played by Mike

:31:19.:31:22.

Dean, because Watford very nearly equalised. A nice dummied by Roberto

:31:23.:31:31.

Pereyra. That's a nice fave. Mazzarri's birthday today, 55, the

:31:32.:31:34.

Italian. There have to be easier ways to celebrate your birthday!

:31:35.:31:41.

Wilson nicked it. Wilshere joining him in the area. Wilson stays on his

:31:42.:31:49.

feet. He tees up Surman, who wastes the chance. Wilson stayed on his

:31:50.:31:56.

feet, nicked it away from Prodl. Is that a foul? Others might have gone

:31:57.:32:00.

down. In the end he teed up Surman on Surman's finish was horrible. I

:32:01.:32:05.

wouldn't want to pick a winner at the moment between these two sides,

:32:06.:32:09.

evenly balanced, beautifully poised actually. It's a corner off Daniels.

:32:10.:32:20.

Watford's corner. Told in by Holebas. Prodl, so unlucky.

:32:21.:32:26.

Fantastic invention from Troy Deeney. What would you say if this

:32:27.:32:31.

had gone in? Well, it's like the old scorpion kick, of the goalkeeper.

:32:32.:32:43.

Watford throw, they are in a bit of a hurry. Deeney. 1-1. Troy Deeney

:32:44.:32:55.

levels for Watford. His 99th goal for the club. One more needed to

:32:56.:33:00.

become only the fifth Hornet ever to reach 100. He owes a debt of thanks

:33:01.:33:05.

to Amrabat for Rizwan, the throw-in quickly taken. Amrabat left Daniels

:33:06.:33:11.

and left him far too easily and Deeney couldn't believe his luck.

:33:12.:33:17.

Well done, Amrabat. For Troy Deeney that's fruity finish. It's 1-1. --

:33:18.:33:21.

that the routine finish. Jack Wilson, he's hit the post. --

:33:22.:33:34.

Wilshere. It's a lovely little run but onto the face of the post,

:33:35.:33:37.

rather than the back of the net. This is Isaac Success for Watford,

:33:38.:33:44.

the 20-year-old comes on for Ighalo. He's got a lot going for him, the

:33:45.:33:46.

young Nigerian. Hooked into Deeney. Good save by

:33:47.:34:09.

Artur Boruc. So close here. -- so close here to his 100th, Troy

:34:10.:34:18.

Deeney. A decent save. Ibe goes off. On comes the Norwegian

:34:19.:34:23.

international. Artur Boruc with the long clearance. In towards King, a

:34:24.:34:27.

strong header by Kaboul. Steve Cook here for Bournemouth,

:34:28.:34:42.

into Stanislas. Surman, lofted in the general direction of King but a

:34:43.:34:46.

mistake by Holebas. King has good feet. He's got Wilshere in front of

:34:47.:34:53.

him. Josh King going alone. It is deflected, he's scored. Bournemouth

:34:54.:34:58.

back in front. Josh King within a minute of coming onto the pitch puts

:34:59.:35:04.

Eddie Howe's side back in front. Well, look at this. Two little

:35:05.:35:10.

tricks, Jack Wilson almost in his way says get out of my road -- Jack

:35:11.:35:16.

Wilshere. Certainly helped it on its way. It's come off Kaboul into the

:35:17.:35:24.

back of Watford's net. It's King's goal, the shot on target, you won't

:35:25.:35:28.

take it away from him. That's how it feels when your substitution works a

:35:29.:35:39.

treat. Holebas, Success. Tricky, strong quick customer, he's got a

:35:40.:35:44.

free kick. I think Mike Dean has done the right thing, Success, 2-2.

:35:45.:35:51.

Another goal from another substitute. Isaac Success in his

:35:52.:35:57.

first ball Watford. It's all square again, with 25 minutes still to

:35:58.:36:05.

play. It's a really good ball in, a cracking header. He's used the paste

:36:06.:36:12.

off the delivery and redirected it. Impassive for the first time in the

:36:13.:36:16.

game, practically, Walter Matt Ari. No one else's. It's 2-2. Great noise

:36:17.:36:23.

now at Vicarage Road. Amrabat for Watford, what a thoroughly

:36:24.:36:26.

entertaining game this has been. Roberto Pereyra behind Daniels.

:36:27.:36:36.

Scooped in four Deeney. Mike Dean has given a free kick for the foul

:36:37.:36:40.

on Artur Boruc. He pointed back towards the halfway line, the

:36:41.:36:43.

referee, I thought he had given the goal. No way, not me, says Deeney.

:36:44.:36:51.

Definitely onside, Roberto Pereyra. Lofted it up to Deeney. The first

:36:52.:36:55.

question is did the ball crossed the line, but that became immaterial

:36:56.:36:58.

because Deeney jumped into Boruc in the opinion of Mike Dean.

:36:59.:37:05.

A great run from Smith, right-hand side. King might feed him. Here he

:37:06.:37:12.

is, Smith, a tap in, surely? Wilshere has hit the post again.

:37:13.:37:17.

He's hit the same post in almost the same place. I great run from Smith.

:37:18.:37:23.

Jack Wilshere off the woodwork and now Jack Wilson off the pitch. Dan

:37:24.:37:30.

Gosling comes on to replace him. Stanislas could get this right now

:37:31.:37:35.

to Smith. Smith running away from Behrami. A free kick, right on the

:37:36.:37:42.

edge of the penalty area. Prodl caught enough of Smith for Mike Dean

:37:43.:37:47.

to give that free kick. It Stanislas, and he has hit the

:37:48.:37:53.

woodwork as well. Well, three times now Bournemouth have hit Watford

:37:54.:37:59.

woodwork. It's a really good effort by Stanislas. An inch and a half

:38:00.:38:04.

lower, and Gomes would not have got there. when you scored two and hit

:38:05.:38:10.

the woodwork three times you're going to be disappointed. We are

:38:11.:38:13.

disappointed especially when you take the lead, you think it should

:38:14.:38:18.

be enough. I thought it was a game of end to end stuff, both teams in

:38:19.:38:22.

it. It was very even but we had the best chances. It's your birthday

:38:23.:38:26.

today, can you allow yourself a celebration today, because the

:38:27.:38:31.

performance was much better? TRANSLATION: We haven't played

:38:32.:38:35.

better complaint to Burnley, much better. I'm very happy with this.

:38:36.:38:40.

The players have given me a nice present today, with this point

:38:41.:38:44.

unfortunately if there would have been slightly more concentrated in

:38:45.:38:47.

some moments of the game they would have given me the three points but

:38:48.:38:51.

I'm happy now with this point. Obviously delighted with the goal,

:38:52.:38:55.

it's bringing confidence and keep working hard for the team. It seemed

:38:56.:39:00.

to pay off. Disappointed not to take three points having taken the lead

:39:01.:39:04.

twice. Can I ask you what make of Troy Deeney? He's a handful, he's a

:39:05.:39:09.

strong lad. He's causing the defences all sorts of problems and

:39:10.:39:13.

he has got his goal today, unfortunately for us. Fair play to

:39:14.:39:16.

him. Hopefully he can carry on doing what he's doing. It brings is

:39:17.:39:21.

straight to Troy Deeney. I know you want to focus on him. He's possibly

:39:22.:39:33.

on the brink of an England call-up, it's not inconceivable, Harry Kane

:39:34.:39:34.

injured? Correct, Harry Kane injured. A couple of games coming

:39:35.:39:37.

up, Malta and Slovenia. He's been outstanding. These are montage of

:39:38.:39:39.

what he's been doing for Watford over the years. This is not

:39:40.:39:42.

something new. I find myself saying were always asking could we bring in

:39:43.:39:50.

Andy Carroll, a hold-up man, are there any better than holding up the

:39:51.:39:54.

ball than Troy Deeney? We've got a lack of leaders. He's Watford's

:39:55.:39:59.

skipper, leading by example. Can he put the ball in the back of the net?

:40:00.:40:03.

He has scored three in the last four. He's a goal-scorer. I enjoy

:40:04.:40:07.

watching him play and the players enjoy his leadership. He is a

:40:08.:40:11.

handful in the box. He's good with the ball at his feet. May be he has

:40:12.:40:17.

an opportunity. He's an integral part of how Watford play and I like

:40:18.:40:20.

the way he leads the team, he drags them forward and Rashford is ahead

:40:21.:40:25.

of him, Vardy and Sturridge, Kane is injured but if there is another

:40:26.:40:29.

injury that comes along then yes, he should be given an opportunity.

:40:30.:40:33.

Quite close. As the Bournemouth, always good to watch, they placed

:40:34.:40:38.

nice football, attacking, score goals. They are doing OK, you

:40:39.:40:42.

consider the stature and financial clout of the club compared. They can

:40:43.:40:49.

be very pleased with their start, 12 in the league, eight points, they

:40:50.:40:53.

have Hull, Stoke, Spurs, they have chances. You don't worry about them,

:40:54.:40:58.

do you? They play good stuff. West Ham, who've lost four

:40:59.:41:01.

in a row - conceding 14 goals in the process -

:41:02.:41:04.

faced a Middlesbrough side who themselves came into the game

:41:05.:41:06.

on the back of three defeats. Jonathan Pearce was at

:41:07.:41:09.

the London Stadium. Slaven Bilic has called for troubled

:41:10.:41:19.

West Ham to approach this as calmly and professionally as possible,

:41:20.:41:23.

defending his decision to allow the players a night out. Still making

:41:24.:41:29.

personnel changes and the formation alteration to end their worst start

:41:30.:41:32.

to the Premier League since 2002, when they went down. Jordan Rhodes

:41:33.:41:38.

starts for the first time. Boro look to end an awful record.

:41:39.:41:44.

A decent header await by Barragan. -- header away by Barragan. West Ham

:41:45.:41:56.

have a problem. Sam Byram has gone down and he's holding the back of

:41:57.:42:00.

his right hamstring, it would seem. This could be another blow to Slaven

:42:01.:42:05.

Bilic. He threw himself through the air their seemed to land awkwardly.

:42:06.:42:12.

Fairly innocuous at the time, then he had his hand on his hamstring?

:42:13.:42:17.

Well, a major upset this for West Ham United. It's a good win in the

:42:18.:42:31.

air -- good wind in the air. He wasn't too far wide. Good start by

:42:32.:42:38.

Boro. A promising scoring record at Ajax unaware he won two league

:42:39.:42:43.

titles. Cost 3.8 million in the summer, hasn't yet got off is about

:42:44.:42:49.

the Boro. Slaven Bilic maintains the atmosphere hit isn't flat. They've

:42:50.:42:52.

been very positive. He told Mark Noble the captain to take his meal

:42:53.:42:57.

out for a -- his team out for a meal together. He says that bonding

:42:58.:43:02.

session was as good as it was 20 years ago, when he was playing.

:43:03.:43:06.

Payet's season hasn't really ignited yet. Very good block. Good defending

:43:07.:43:14.

by Chambers. Hasn't scored in the league this season. He last scored

:43:15.:43:21.

in the lead against Accrington. I think Valdes had it covered anyway.

:43:22.:43:30.

Good ball. Here's Antonio to take on Chambers. Payet following up. Goes

:43:31.:43:39.

for gold. It would have been a worthy opener in league football

:43:40.:43:41.

this season for him. Rolled in from the left hand side. "Body To bend

:43:42.:43:45.

the ball in, bent it wide. It's a poor tackle. Kouyate miss

:43:46.:43:51.

timed it. It's Downing with it, hit the wall.

:43:52.:44:09.

Payet turns it away to the speed of Antonio. A heavy touch, but he has

:44:10.:44:12.

the speed to keep it in play. Payet is behind him. Switches it to Noble.

:44:13.:44:19.

They have a player over on the far side, it's Ogbonna. Mark Noble. One

:44:20.:44:25.

of the best efforts we have seen so far. They look at their best as a

:44:26.:44:31.

counterattacking team. Mark Noble, who cares so much about every minute

:44:32.:44:39.

in a West Ham shirt, but it wide. Here's Payet, Arbeloa a bit late so

:44:40.:44:45.

he goes left and Noble. Antonio out there. Kouyate has arrived and

:44:46.:44:49.

nearly get on the on the end trying to create. That's what he needs to

:44:50.:44:54.

do. Antonio drifts wide, Kouyate has to get in there. He could not bring

:44:55.:44:56.

it down and get the effort on goal. Should be a corner if it goes out.

:44:57.:45:08.

Hasn't gone out yet. Antonio, comes back to Mark Noble. He shoots and it

:45:09.:45:12.

hits the bar. That's the closest we've come. Tore forces the corner,

:45:13.:45:21.

West and ending the half strongly. Bent deliciously, off the woodwork,

:45:22.:45:26.

but didn't in. -- West Ham ending the half strongly. Jordan Rhodes is

:45:27.:45:34.

on the side. Adrian was hesitant. Rhodes sends it forward with Winston

:45:35.:45:40.

Reid getting it away. Got there, but was second best. The suspicion of

:45:41.:45:45.

some shirt tugging on Rhodes. Was it enough to concede a penalty? Don't

:45:46.:45:47.

know, but took a chance. The West Ham defence is under

:45:48.:46:01.

pressure. The block comes in. As soon as the West Ham move broke down

:46:02.:46:06.

at one end, too many players walking, not defending as an 11 and

:46:07.:46:11.

Rhodes crept in behind. Third corner of the game for Middlesbrough. Off

:46:12.:46:18.

the line by Mark Noble. The referee says it is crossed, it's a goal, and

:46:19.:46:22.

Middlesbrough lead. The fans are delighted. Stuani crept through and

:46:23.:46:30.

more trouble for West Ham. Got a yard away from poor marking. Clearly

:46:31.:46:35.

over the line. That's why the goal decision system is there. Problem

:46:36.:46:40.

for West Ham United, they went decisive enough defending. Antonio

:46:41.:46:45.

let him get away and Middlesbrough lead at the London Stadium. It might

:46:46.:46:48.

act as a wake-up call. Winston Reid hangs it in the air for

:46:49.:47:01.

Payet. Slips beyond Barragan. Two waiting in the middle. Roles in the

:47:02.:47:07.

side, good run by Payet. Is this his moment? Is this his moment?! It's

:47:08.:47:16.

his moment! One moment in time may change everything. Sensational goal.

:47:17.:47:21.

West Ham were behind for five minutes. Slipped away from Barragan,

:47:22.:47:26.

inside the next challenge, carried on going and waited until he could

:47:27.:47:31.

get a shot away and tickled at home. His season has barely flickered, now

:47:32.:47:39.

it has ignited. Now we can hear the effect of the London Stadium roar.

:47:40.:47:45.

Zaza wins it back and finds Payet. Isolated with Chambers. Support

:47:46.:47:55.

arriving through Mark Noble. He's bundled over on the edge of the

:47:56.:48:00.

penalty area by Martin De Roon. He gets a yellow card. Just outside the

:48:01.:48:08.

box. He's brought them back into the game. Can Payet put them ahead? Hit

:48:09.:48:17.

the wall. Thundered goalwards by Arbeloa, but wide. Goals have been

:48:18.:48:25.

sparely delivered over the years. Six at Real Madrid in six years, and

:48:26.:48:30.

six at Liverpool. West Ham United get a point to end their run of four

:48:31.:48:35.

league defeats in a row. Still disappointed it wasn't the win they

:48:36.:48:38.

crave. A very good point for Middlesbrough. A good point,

:48:39.:48:43.

especially after the last three defeats. Today, I said before the

:48:44.:48:51.

game that West Ham, it's true they are not in their best moment but

:48:52.:48:55.

they have amazing players. We could see, their goal was amazing. For us,

:48:56.:49:01.

I am pleased because it's one more point. And to play with this

:49:02.:49:05.

attitude and intensity, I told them after the game that this is the way.

:49:06.:49:10.

Dimitri Payet scored some goal in that game, have you seen many

:49:11.:49:19.

better? Yes, we know him for a long time. He's a magnificent player. He

:49:20.:49:25.

scores like a Leo Messi goal at Barcelona. Fantastic finish. It's a

:49:26.:49:36.

massive goal for us. We can't keep depending on Dimi. We know he's a

:49:37.:49:39.

world-class player but you can't keep depending on him like this. We

:49:40.:49:43.

need to be better going forward. It's a lot to keep on asking him to

:49:44.:49:46.

come up with goals like this. STUDIO: After the game I spoke to

:49:47.:49:53.

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic. After four consecutive defeats, at least

:49:54.:49:57.

you stopped the rot. You are right, Gary. Of course we were looking for

:49:58.:50:02.

a win, considering that we were playing at home against a team, with

:50:03.:50:09.

the greatest respect, but still in the bottom half of the table. But

:50:10.:50:14.

there were a lot of positives today. We showed what the team should be

:50:15.:50:20.

all about. We showed character, fighting, the spirit and quality as

:50:21.:50:24.

well. At the moment we are not playing the greatest football. We

:50:25.:50:28.

are not creating a lot of chances, but we came back and at the end of

:50:29.:50:34.

the day we get a point. It might be crucial for us. You were trailing in

:50:35.:50:39.

this particular game, and then we saw a moment of pure magic from

:50:40.:50:45.

Payet. It was a great goal, great individual goal. As you say, I

:50:46.:50:52.

agree, it was pure magic. But in a situation like this you need your

:50:53.:50:56.

best players to do something extra. And this was definitely a moment of

:50:57.:51:03.

something special that he brought us back into the game. How about you

:51:04.:51:07.

personally, have you felt the pressure over the last week or so?

:51:08.:51:12.

Look, I feel the pressure, but what kind of pressure, I feel it because

:51:13.:51:17.

I am not happy with the way we are playing. I'm not happy with our

:51:18.:51:22.

position in the table. And I'm not happy because we lost four Premier

:51:23.:51:30.

League games on the trot. Of course, it's below my standards. Of course,

:51:31.:51:38.

I'm feeling the pressure about it. We showed today, although we didn't

:51:39.:51:43.

win, and we are happy with the result but it's not exactly what we

:51:44.:51:47.

wanted. But we showed that the team is alive, that there is character,

:51:48.:51:51.

and that we are together. We wish you all the best and thank you for

:51:52.:51:57.

talking to us. Thank you, Gary. It kind of stopped the rot in one way.

:51:58.:52:02.

But there is only one place to start, that extraordinary goal from

:52:03.:52:06.

Dimitri Payet. Quite possibly the greatest goal ever seen at the

:52:07.:52:11.

London Stadium! They've not had a lot to shout about at this stadium.

:52:12.:52:17.

But that today, wow. Sends one down, two down. He eventually goes past

:52:18.:52:23.

five players, sending three of them down on their backsides. Pure

:52:24.:52:28.

brilliance. The confidence, touch. The turn. We will never get tired of

:52:29.:52:36.

seeing this, will we? It was amazing. Just what they needed, just

:52:37.:52:39.

what they wanted, and without a shadow of a doubt, it will be in

:52:40.:52:44.

goal of the season. What was amazing, Winston Reid got an assist!

:52:45.:52:51.

It was a good ball. Good point for Middlesbrough away from home. You

:52:52.:52:54.

picked out Adam Forshaw, you thought he was exceptional. I did.

:52:55.:52:59.

Middlesbrough have been on the best run themselves. Some poor

:53:00.:53:03.

performances and poor results. Adam Forshaw came in and put a really

:53:04.:53:08.

good performance in midfield. He has a great range of passing. He doesn't

:53:09.:53:14.

shy away from a pass. I like to see midfielders taking risks. Jordan

:53:15.:53:17.

Rhodes should do better with that particular pass. He was happy to

:53:18.:53:22.

take the ball in tight situations, try to make things work for

:53:23.:53:26.

Middlesbrough today. He was always very comfortable with the ball at

:53:27.:53:31.

his feet, his back to goal. Another example of how easy those passes

:53:32.:53:35.

seemed to come to him, and how accepting he is just hit them. Today

:53:36.:53:44.

just a constant thing for him in Middlesbrough side. Seemed very

:53:45.:53:46.

comfortable and looks like he had been playing there for a number of

:53:47.:53:49.

years. I think you will hold onto his spot for a few weeks. A point

:53:50.:53:55.

that probably appeased both sides. There's a pretty special Goal

:53:56.:53:57.

of the Month vote coming up # I won't let you down... At

:53:58.:55:05.

Arsenal, I like the spirit of the club, and the potential of the club.

:55:06.:55:11.

My main ambition is of course to bring success to the team. And to

:55:12.:55:16.

satisfy all the people who love Arsenal.

:55:17.:55:24.

Arsene Wenger, 20 years at Arsenal. He has been linked of course with

:55:25.:55:30.

possibly being the next England manager. These are the odds. Is that

:55:31.:55:35.

conceivable? His contract runs out at the end of the season? By all

:55:36.:55:41.

accounts he turned it down twice, so it's not his dream job. I would be

:55:42.:55:45.

surprised. Arsene Wenger was mentioned for the Germany job some

:55:46.:55:54.

14 or 15 years ago when Germany were in a crisis, but they decided to

:55:55.:55:59.

back one of their own in Jurgen Klinsmann, gave him the power to

:56:00.:56:02.

restructure everything, and I think that's how we should go. Appoint an

:56:03.:56:06.

Englishman, sending out the right message to young aspiring coaches in

:56:07.:56:11.

the country. Gareth Southgate has the best interview for the job, four

:56:12.:56:16.

games to get it right. If he impresses and get the right people

:56:17.:56:19.

around him, I think we should progress in that way. Jermaine,

:56:20.:56:25.

they're that many obvious in this candidates to choose from. -- there

:56:26.:56:29.

are not that many. I think we only have ourselves to blame. We have let

:56:30.:56:33.

too many get away from the system. Players like Frank Lampard and

:56:34.:56:38.

Steven Gerrard. In what sense have we let them get away? The FA, there

:56:39.:56:42.

is not much there in terms of giving them the room to grow and keeping

:56:43.:56:46.

them a little bit closer to the FA and to say, we want you to be part

:56:47.:56:51.

of this. There is not enough of a carrot. They make life very

:56:52.:56:55.

difficult to get your badges. It's not as easy as it should be. We

:56:56.:57:00.

allow so much experience just go out of the window. I personally would

:57:01.:57:05.

like to see somebody like Glenn Hoddle put in place somebody like,

:57:06.:57:13.

Alan, Rio, Lampard, with them to go along for the journey, to gain the

:57:14.:57:17.

experience. They kind of did that with Gary Neville alongside Roy

:57:18.:57:22.

Hodgson. But then they both go. I felt like Gary was tarnished with

:57:23.:57:26.

the same brush as Roy. We don't know if Gary had his own thoughts on

:57:27.:57:30.

whether he was being forced into making certain decisions. He might

:57:31.:57:35.

have had his own thoughts, but implementing those and telling your

:57:36.:57:37.

manager to do that is a different thing. I think they have made the

:57:38.:57:42.

right decision in giving it to Gareth. He knows a lot of the

:57:43.:57:46.

players from the U21s system. It gives people time to sit down and

:57:47.:57:50.

reflect. But it has been such an embarrassing week in English

:57:51.:57:54.

football. I didn't think it could get lower than the Euros when we

:57:55.:57:58.

were beaten by Iceland. I think we are at rock bottom now, so the one

:57:59.:58:01.

encouraging sign is, there is only one way to go now. Is it time to

:58:02.:58:08.

tear everything up and start again? Maybe take a chance, like the

:58:09.:58:11.

Germans have done in the past with their own will stop they also put

:58:12.:58:19.

they also put such emphasis on the coaching badges, but if they gave it

:58:20.:58:23.

to a foreign manager, what incentive does that give out to people coming

:58:24.:58:27.

to the end of their career, who have been in tournaments and no what has

:58:28.:58:31.

gone wrong. That's where you need to drag the information from, I think.

:58:32.:58:38.

Sam Allardyce's former club Sunderland, who began the day

:58:39.:58:40.

bottom of the table, welcomed West Brom to

:58:41.:58:42.

This fixture has finished 0-0 the past two seasons.

:58:43.:58:45.

Guy Mowbray was hoping for better this time around.

:58:46.:58:47.

COMMENTATOR: There haven't been many mentions of Sunderland amid this

:58:48.:58:51.

week's sorry England's tail. Maybe there ought to have been. We will

:58:52.:58:57.

never know, but if Sam Allardyce had stayed they might not have been

:58:58.:59:00.

bottom. Five Sunderland changes including a first league start this

:59:01.:59:05.

season for Wahbi Khazri, and one of his responsibilities is to improve

:59:06.:59:10.

the side's set piece delivery. Unchanged West Brom, including two

:59:11.:59:14.

Sunderland old boys from the start, Jonny Evans and James Maclean, who

:59:15.:59:17.

today plays in the Premier League for the 100th time. Sunderland start

:59:18.:59:23.

with only one result being thought about. Today they desperately need a

:59:24.:59:28.

win. Just one point from their opening six games. A two-week break

:59:29.:59:34.

coming up, and it's only four weeks before they play their next home

:59:35.:59:35.

game. Ndong with support from Manquillo,

:59:36.:59:52.

ignored, because Duncan Watmore was in field. Jermain Defoe misses the

:59:53.:59:57.

target, and he was on the side. Just the man David Moyes would have

:59:58.:00:01.

wanted the chance to fall too. He is on the side all right. All looking

:00:02.:00:08.

towards the net, and he's as mystified as anyone else.

:00:09.:00:17.

Chadli wants it. He's on his own to receive it. Turned and shot, well

:00:18.:00:25.

saved by Pickford. Matt Phillips again. McClean jobs. Allan Nyom...

:00:26.:00:32.

And it bounces back into the hands of Pickford. Safe in in. Jordan

:00:33.:00:38.

Pickford came into the Sunderland side after injury to Vito Mannone

:00:39.:00:42.

just three games into the season. Looks as though he might take some

:00:43.:00:48.

shifting from the side. Game number 1001 as a manager for Tony Pulis.

:00:49.:00:50.

The next millennium begins. Good determination, it bounced

:00:51.:01:04.

through nicely to Phillips. Here's Chadli, he's beaten Pickford. It's

:01:05.:01:11.

really well taken goal by Chadli. Yacob deserves some credit. It

:01:12.:01:15.

looked as though he might have lost the ball to Kirchhoff, but he went

:01:16.:01:21.

in determinedly. He has helped himself to his third go for -- his

:01:22.:01:27.

third goal in his fourth goal for them. You can hear how much that has

:01:28.:01:34.

deflated the crowd here. What will that do to confidence which had

:01:35.:01:39.

looked pretty good until that point? Watmore. Always struggling to keep

:01:40.:01:47.

his balance there. Dawson finds McLean. Albion could be in. Help

:01:48.:01:53.

from Rondon, it doesn't reach him though. What a chance for Albion to

:01:54.:01:59.

double their lead before the break. McClean is in, got to give a thumbs

:02:00.:02:04.

up to having Manquillo the way he got back to him. -- Manquillo, the

:02:05.:02:08.

way he got back to him. McClean is looking for Rondon,

:02:09.:02:19.

O'Shea's header has gone straight to Darren Fletcher. Beaten by Pickford.

:02:20.:02:30.

This is Dawson. Chadli. Able somehow to chest the ball down, turn and

:02:31.:02:37.

fire, but fire wide. It was one old friend to another with O Shea is

:02:38.:02:41.

finding his old Manchester United colleague Fletcher with the

:02:42.:02:45.

clearance. Strong hands from Pickford but he didn't get it to a

:02:46.:02:48.

safe place. Three Sunderland players could only stand and watch Chadli

:02:49.:02:53.

stand and get the shot away in amongst them. Kone was lucky, it

:02:54.:03:09.

wasn't decisive. He found an dong. -- Ndong. He found Van Aanholt. It

:03:10.:03:14.

beats McClean. Watmore has his head down. It's to, blocked by Evans,

:03:15.:03:23.

cleared by Evans. Two very good chances for Jermain Defoe, chances

:03:24.:03:28.

he would normally put away. Khazri did well to know where Defoe was but

:03:29.:03:31.

he wanted to be absolutely certain and it was well watched by Yacob and

:03:32.:03:37.

in particular, Evans. A frustrating match for Sunderland's manager, who

:03:38.:03:40.

just want the first Premier League win of the season.

:03:41.:03:50.

Comfortably knocked away by Yacob. Chadli threw towards Rondon. Rondon

:03:51.:03:58.

has to do it by himself. He is capable. He is denied by Pickford.

:03:59.:04:08.

Phillips was trying to get there to help him out but Rondon was never

:04:09.:04:15.

going to pass. He's wanting Phillips to run onto this. Van Aanholt can

:04:16.:04:20.

neatly find Ndong and get up for the return path as well. David Moyes

:04:21.:04:27.

waives his team forward. I use full run from Watmore behind Khazri.

:04:28.:04:38.

There from Patrick van Aanholt. -- there's the equaliser from Patrick

:04:39.:04:42.

van Aanholt. He's over to the team doctor. Patrick van Aanholt was the

:04:43.:04:48.

player at Spurs recently who was pulled out of the starting line up

:04:49.:04:55.

before the match because of problems reportedly with a cardio test and

:04:56.:05:02.

he's giving his thanks fair as he plays the ball into the ground and

:05:03.:05:06.

it loops up over the helpless foster to get Sunderland back into it and

:05:07.:05:11.

maybe to spark the sort of revival that Crystal Palace enjoyed against

:05:12.:05:14.

them last week. That's got the place buzzing.

:05:15.:05:26.

Phillips is well-placed. Phillips, right across the face. Gardner

:05:27.:05:33.

wasn't far away from it. I think 1-1 is pretty fair. In the whole balance

:05:34.:05:40.

of the afternoon. We needed a second goal. We had 21 crosses and needed

:05:41.:05:48.

shots on goal today. Their supporters were fantastic. They kept

:05:49.:05:50.

behind them and when it's 1-0 there's always a chance that they

:05:51.:05:56.

can score or you make a mistake and they can score, so we needed that

:05:57.:06:00.

second goal and I thought we had enough good opportunities in the

:06:01.:06:03.

final third to have at least got that but fair play to Sunderland.

:06:04.:06:10.

They kept going, kept at it and yes, we're disappointed. We were pushing

:06:11.:06:13.

for the second goal, it just didn't come. It's not a great result but at

:06:14.:06:18.

the end we have to accept it and now looking forward for the next game.

:06:19.:06:23.

We needed three points, it wasn't a point we were after but when it was

:06:24.:06:28.

1-0 down and into 75 minutes, I'd have taken a point if we could do

:06:29.:06:33.

but I've got to say well done to the players. They stuck at it, they

:06:34.:06:36.

never gave in, they kept going. They gave everything they could to get

:06:37.:06:40.

something out of the game. It was a managerial change that probably

:06:41.:06:44.

change things. After his problems on a fortnight ago, Patrick van Aanholt

:06:45.:06:47.

came on and transformed things. He did, just over half an hour ago,

:06:48.:06:52.

David Moyes actually put him on the left side of midfield rather than

:06:53.:06:55.

left-back and he changed the game. He gave them a bit of pace and

:06:56.:07:03.

energy and creative passing. There is one of his first ones, superb

:07:04.:07:09.

ball, a chance created, a half chance for Jermain Defoe. He was the

:07:10.:07:14.

one that grabbed the game by the scruff of his net, did his shift

:07:15.:07:19.

defensively also. Winslet, sets them up on the front foot again, helping

:07:20.:07:25.

out again -- he wins it. Away they go again. I thought he was

:07:26.:07:28.

brilliant, he definitely changed the game for them. A beautiful ball in

:07:29.:07:33.

behind, a weighted pass into Khazri, who perhaps should have done better,

:07:34.:07:38.

better touch. But this is the best part. Going back again, defensive,

:07:39.:07:43.

he's the one that wins it, drags his team forward. He gains 20-30 yards

:07:44.:07:49.

running with the ball. Good ball in, doesn't admire that, follows it.

:07:50.:07:53.

Good work by Watmore. I don't care if it's the scruff or not, he

:07:54.:07:57.

deserves it. David Moyes deserved it because it was willing to change it.

:07:58.:08:01.

When you put someone onto the pitch, you're asking them to affect the

:08:02.:08:05.

game and he definitely did that. Is the third time in four seasons

:08:06.:08:09.

Sunderland have failed to win a game in the first seven matches.

:08:10.:08:13.

Extraordinary start? It goes in keeping with how they've struggled

:08:14.:08:16.

towards the end of each of those seasons as well. It's not happy

:08:17.:08:21.

times in those games. Something needs to change. They should

:08:22.:08:27.

probably start the season in March. Tony Pulis thought they should have

:08:28.:08:31.

gone on and won the game from 1-0 up. They were profligate times. They

:08:32.:08:36.

were sloppy. They got into very good situations into the final third.

:08:37.:08:40.

They got the goal, that was lacking in the second goal. A decent chance,

:08:41.:08:46.

a good chance from McClean. Sloppy from Chadli. Final pass was poor.

:08:47.:08:53.

Decision-making was poor. If that -- if they had got the second goal

:08:54.:08:57.

there was no doubt about it. Rondon went on to win the game because the

:08:58.:09:00.

pressure was building upon Sunderland. OK.

:09:01.:09:03.

Time to catch up on last night's action.

:09:04.:09:05.

Everton were looking to bounce back from defeat at Bournemouth

:09:06.:09:07.

against a Crystal Palace side seeking a fourth straight win.

:09:08.:09:10.

Yannick Bolasie scored nine times in 19 Premier League appearances for

:09:11.:09:24.

Crystal Palace, now Everton's biggest summer acquisition bids to

:09:25.:09:27.

score against them as he faces his former club for the first time. His

:09:28.:09:31.

former team-mate Williams -- Wilfried Zaha is recalled by Pardew

:09:32.:09:35.

as he changes the winning team. He replaces Cabaye for Palace, who have

:09:36.:09:38.

lost only one of their last six meetings against Everton. Looking

:09:39.:09:49.

for their third home league win in a row, unbeaten in six at Goodison in

:09:50.:09:56.

the Premier League. He's found him brilliantly, the offside flag was up

:09:57.:10:02.

on Damien Delaney. He's my -- Damien Delaney is mightily relieved, had he

:10:03.:10:05.

been onside that was a penalty to Everton. I mistake. Lukaku against

:10:06.:10:17.

Delaney. Straight at Mandanda. Trying to create something for

:10:18.:10:21.

himself. He wasn't happy last weekend. Some players are finding it

:10:22.:10:28.

difficult to adapt to the style that he wants. Fabulous play. A summer

:10:29.:10:35.

signing from Aston Villa, a former Villa player looking for Lukaku.

:10:36.:10:42.

Might fall to the Belgian again, it was a high foot as well. It's an

:10:43.:10:47.

Everton free kick, right on the edge of the penalty area. Delaney saw the

:10:48.:10:56.

intention of the high boot. Jagielka actually handballs it. Delaney

:10:57.:11:01.

hasn't made any contact and you could argue it should be an indirect

:11:02.:11:06.

free kick anyway. Lukaku with it. And they made the most of that

:11:07.:11:14.

opportunity. Ramallo Lukaku in his -- with his fifth goal in six

:11:15.:11:18.

Premier League games to give Everton lead, up and over the wall. Mandanda

Mandanda indicated he wanted the wall to job. They didn't and Everton

are in front. Ledley kept it alive to Zaha. Off goes Ward, outside of

:11:38.:11:39.

him. Ledley is trying to inject more pace

:11:40.:11:54.

into the game. Benteke jumping and jumping superbly. What a header from

:11:55.:11:59.

Christian Benteke. Something out of nothing. He had so much to do there.

:12:00.:12:06.

What a leap. An inch perfect header. That is exactly why Crystal Palace

:12:07.:12:12.

brought into the club. Everton one, Palace one. That has changed the

:12:13.:12:17.

atmosphere around Goodison Park. Benteke back on Merseyside with a

:12:18.:12:21.

goal. Heerkens Bolasie against his former club. He's got... What a

:12:22.:12:32.

challenge from Kelly. He was the saviour, Martin Kelly. The two

:12:33.:12:41.

Belgians, international team-mates. Lukaku and Benteke, on the

:12:42.:12:45.

scoresheet. Finally poised at Goodison. Palace corner. The fifth

:12:46.:12:49.

of the game. Away by Bolasie. Straight back in

:12:50.:13:05.

from Ward. It's another good header. It's Delaney this time. Palace lead,

:13:06.:13:11.

but the flag is up. Flagged for offside, I think. Delaney is on.

:13:12.:13:24.

That's a big call. Watch James McArthur, he's offside. He doesn't

:13:25.:13:27.

touch the ball but does the official think that he's active and in some

:13:28.:13:34.

way has interfered with the goalkeeper's vision? That is the

:13:35.:13:39.

thought process of Simon Bennett, the referee's assistant. Few issues

:13:40.:13:48.

with the officials so far tonight. And Everton corner.

:13:49.:13:59.

Barkley's corner. A little touch from Barry. Jason Puncheon on the

:14:00.:14:06.

post in the right place at the right time.

:14:07.:14:17.

Townsend, in towards Benteke. Well defended the game. Cleared only as

:14:18.:14:22.

far as Zaha. Another block and another corner.

:14:23.:14:29.

Away by Jagielka. Back from Ward. The flag stayed down that time. It

:14:30.:14:37.

was a big chance for Tomkins. Everton were waiting for the offside

:14:38.:14:42.

flag to go up and it wasn't forthcoming. Couldn't really stretch

:14:43.:14:49.

Stekelenburg in the end. It's all square, Everton one, Crystal Palace

:14:50.:14:50.

one. 1-0 up, you are disappointed with

:14:51.:15:03.

the final result, but I think it's a fair result. Delaney's header, if

:15:04.:15:09.

you were Alan Pardew would you be aggrieved it didn't stand? Of

:15:10.:15:16.

course. It's a goal, and then maybe 1-2 to Crystal Palace. But maybe a

:15:17.:15:19.

lot of decisions I didn't understand. Terrific point, you may

:15:20.:15:24.

be disappointed you couldn't get all three? Maybe. I thought we played

:15:25.:15:29.

well. We showed resilience again, went behind at Sunderland and again

:15:30.:15:35.

today. We fought back and were the bosses of the second half, I

:15:36.:15:38.

thought. Have you had an explanation as to why Damien Delaney's goal

:15:39.:15:42.

wasn't given? It's a tricky one all round for the referee. I want -- I

:15:43.:15:50.

won't hold them to ransom on that. And to come from behind at a place

:15:51.:15:54.

like this, not many teams will do that this season. We have worked

:15:55.:15:58.

hard this year. We are trying to change things around. I was pleased

:15:59.:16:01.

with the second half because a lot of teams, and I've had teams who

:16:02.:16:05.

maybe couldn't cope with the second half, but we pushed on and have the

:16:06.:16:08.

resilience to do it and the quality to get back into it. Palace on a

:16:09.:16:13.

roll, and they could conceivably on another day have been given the

:16:14.:16:18.

decision. What did you make of the offside goal? I thought it was a

:16:19.:16:21.

correct decision. A tough decision. Delaney gets up well and win is a

:16:22.:16:27.

good header. If you watch McArthur, he makes a movement towards the

:16:28.:16:32.

ball, which is the law this season. We see there that he goes to try and

:16:33.:16:38.

head it there. The linesman over there, Simon Bennett, he gets it

:16:39.:16:45.

absolutely spot on. He calls the referee Jon Moss over. Not very

:16:46.:16:49.

often we praise the officials, but that was a tough decision and one

:16:50.:16:52.

they got right. You don't mind them taking time to get it right.

:16:53.:16:56.

Belgian strikers in form, one for each club. Yeah, absolutely

:16:57.:17:04.

brilliant goals. Lukaku's first-ever free kick in the Premier League.

:17:05.:17:09.

That he's actually taken. I don't know why he suddenly thought he'd

:17:10.:17:13.

had enough,. Where has he been hiding? This header is phenomenal.

:17:14.:17:19.

To generate that type of power. The cross isn't sent in with pace. He

:17:20.:17:24.

gets above him, and if you see a better header than that this season

:17:25.:17:28.

I will be surprised. Their game has changed with him in the side. Balls

:17:29.:17:32.

into the box are a constant that and it's what Palace needed. Three goals

:17:33.:17:40.

in his last four games. Lukaku with his fifth of the season. Both on

:17:41.:17:44.

fire. Doesn't half make a difference when you're strikers scoring. We are
