:00:17. > :00:23.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:24. > :00:35.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!
:00:36. > :00:41.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:42. > :00:45.We're into March and on the long run for home in the Premier League.
:00:46. > :00:47.Coming up, we've got seven games, loads of goals,
:00:48. > :00:53.Danny Murphy and Martin Keown will provide the analysis.
:00:54. > :00:54.The perfect guests for our opening match,
:00:55. > :01:00.When the sides met on the opening day of the season, Liverpool won 4-3
:01:01. > :01:05.But they've struggled since the new year, and like Arsenal
:01:06. > :01:07.face a battle to secure a Champions League place.
:01:08. > :01:22.On the might of the much hyped trash talked heavyweight bout elsewhere,
:01:23. > :01:25.two reportedly top five lightweights meet with social media criticism of
:01:26. > :01:31.both clanging like alarm bells. Jurgen Klopp denies he's ignoring
:01:32. > :01:36.the deficiencies of 2017, promises summer signings, says there are no
:01:37. > :01:39.excuses for Monday's defeat at Leicester and replaces Lucas with
:01:40. > :01:45.Klavan. Lovren, on the benches, isn't ready for return. Arsene
:01:46. > :01:52.Wenger needs to improve on two wins in 22 away games. He's without Ozil,
:01:53. > :01:55.who is ill. Giroud comes in as they prepare to go along to avoid
:01:56. > :01:57.Liverpool's midfield press. Welbeck starts for the first time in ten
:01:58. > :02:10.months. Granit Xhaka sees the run-off
:02:11. > :02:11.Monreal. Too much pace on it for the Spanish fullback. Back in the
:02:12. > :02:27.starting line-up. Lallana wide. Back across the goal,
:02:28. > :02:33.the dummy, Firmino puts Liverpool 1-0 up on the counterattack with
:02:34. > :02:37.eight minutes gone and the Arsenal defence look to midfielders who
:02:38. > :02:42.didn't track back. The first header was missed. Too much space for
:02:43. > :02:45.Lallana. Mane is onside. Defenders trying to get back quickly, but look
:02:46. > :02:50.at the way the ball made its way through that penalty area and
:02:51. > :02:56.Firmino arriving on the far post listed it in. The ninth of the
:02:57. > :03:03.season for him. Liverpool head. -- ahead. Wijnaldum gets a to Coutinho.
:03:04. > :03:08.The referee has played the advantage. Liverpool nearly took it,
:03:09. > :03:12.Cech to deny Coutinho. Good refereeing. A fine strike, good
:03:13. > :03:27.goalkeeping. Milner, hugging the left touchline.
:03:28. > :03:32.Always a workmanlike player, inter-Wijnaldum. It should be two,
:03:33. > :03:40.and is. Liverpool in the driving seat now. Six minutes before
:03:41. > :03:43.half-time, they've doubled the lead. From this position, Arsenal
:03:44. > :03:47.shouldn't have conceded. Look at Mane, topped of the picture, no one
:03:48. > :03:51.has picked him up. They know he's there, they haven't covered it. No
:03:52. > :03:58.one, Don Mane. As soon as Firmino played it across, he's in acres of
:03:59. > :04:04.space. And took it well, drilled it in for his 12th of the season. Steve
:04:05. > :04:10.Bould glares, Arsene Wenger looks perplexed.
:04:11. > :04:17.Lallana again, look at the weighing one passes, bypass the midfield.
:04:18. > :04:21.Coquelin got back at Lallana. It's come through to Coutinho, it would
:04:22. > :04:23.have been sweet, the way he took the ball down. Couldn't beat Cech. So
:04:24. > :04:34.neat and tidy. Away by Milner, good clearance.
:04:35. > :04:40.Firmino allowed to come, bring it down and play the ball away.
:04:41. > :04:46.Midfielders seem to stand and watch. Just hasn't been at the races,
:04:47. > :04:54.Granit Xhaka. Giroud waiting in the middle. A splendid save off the bar.
:04:55. > :05:02.Arsenal very nearly back into the game. Giroud Rose, hung in the air,
:05:03. > :05:05.great header back across goal. Mignolet reacted sharply. It's the
:05:06. > :05:14.first worth the effort Arsenal have had on goal and we are in the 49th
:05:15. > :05:24.minute. Granit Xhaka wanted too much time on the ball. Firmino isolated
:05:25. > :05:25.with Bellerin. Went down far too easily there. The referee should
:05:26. > :05:38.have a look at that. Oxlade-Chamberlain brings it out.
:05:39. > :05:43.Here's Sanchez. A darting dash, a lovely ball through to Welbeck.
:05:44. > :05:47.Arsenal have won back, set up by Sanchez, scored by Welbeck. The
:05:48. > :05:52.impact of Sanchez off the bench almost immediate. Arsenal back in
:05:53. > :05:56.the game. He made the decision not to start Sanchez. He's brought him
:05:57. > :06:01.on now with telling effect, because from the moment Sanchez picked it up
:06:02. > :06:04.here and run at Liverpool, the home team were troubled. A little gap
:06:05. > :06:09.appeared, slipped through to Welbeck. He finished brilliantly.
:06:10. > :06:11.The keeper came out, but not really convincingly. Arsenal, so boring the
:06:12. > :06:27.first half, have halved the arrears. Mane, brilliant at holding it up.
:06:28. > :06:35.Brilliantly done by Mane. Brings it to Coutinho, over his own barred by
:06:36. > :06:38.Mustafi am saving Arsenal. Lovely movement by Liverpool again.
:06:39. > :06:43.Coutinho's Cross darted towards the far post.
:06:44. > :06:50.Iwobi is in the middle. Sanchez completely taken out by Can, I'm
:06:51. > :06:56.sure the referee will go back to that. Iwobi, to Welbeck. Bellerin
:06:57. > :07:00.arriving. He's taken it brilliantly. Look at -- looking forward Giroud.
:07:01. > :07:05.The referee will go back and book Can. It's good refereeing. Took out
:07:06. > :07:16.Sanchez cynically. Mane fouled. Why foul there? Sanchez
:07:17. > :07:23.is protesting that Mane went down too easily.
:07:24. > :07:31.Coutinho with the free kick, dangerous. Cech had to fly. That
:07:32. > :07:38.would have settled it. Matip got goal side of the staff, who didn't
:07:39. > :07:40.defend well. Cech seemed to go down in stages, but the 34-year-old
:07:41. > :07:53.keeper got down for the save. Taken out there, and if it's Can, he
:07:54. > :08:01.should go off. The referee might decide it was Matip. Who committed
:08:02. > :08:06.foul. If it's Can, he would have to go, I would think. That's what the
:08:07. > :08:14.Arsenal players are saying. Walcott with the run, Can coming in. The
:08:15. > :08:18.referee's view here, for me, is that Matic commits the foul, but it was
:08:19. > :08:25.definitely Can and it would have been a second bookable offence. Can
:08:26. > :08:32.over the top four Origi's pace. Mustafi there with him. He's stole
:08:33. > :08:36.it away at the referee said he did it unfairly and Mustafi says he got
:08:37. > :08:40.the ball, but was he pulling back? He had his hand on Origi's shirt.
:08:41. > :08:44.That's where the free kick was given. Pulling his shirt. It doesn't
:08:45. > :08:54.matter that he won the ball. Liverpool could clinch it here. In
:08:55. > :08:59.comes the Milner free kick, it's off the post. Origi is so unlucky! I did
:09:00. > :09:02.the free kick on, used the pace of the free kick. To just guide it
:09:03. > :09:13.towards the goal. Here's Mane. Lovely header here by Divock Origi,
:09:14. > :09:21.using the whip of the Milner free kick off the post. Liverpool, so
:09:22. > :09:29.close to being home. Here's Sanchez, great ball. This is Arsenal's last
:09:30. > :09:35.chance. Sanchez, terrific block by Matip. He's struggling for fitness.
:09:36. > :09:39.Lallana on the counter. What about getting the pass away to Origi? You
:09:40. > :09:45.does so now. Read you looking at Wijnaldum through the middle. This
:09:46. > :09:50.is to finish it. That finishes it! Liverpool three, Arsenal one.
:09:51. > :09:56.Another classic Liverpool counterattack to finish off Arsenal
:09:57. > :10:03.and take Jurgen Klopp further forward in the chase for a top four
:10:04. > :10:07.place. Arsene Wenger's team improved in the second period, got back into
:10:08. > :10:14.it, but in the end, Petr Cech beaten. Arsenal's heads are low, and
:10:15. > :10:20.is this a mighty stride forward for Liverpool and a huge step backwards
:10:21. > :10:28.for Arsenal? We went for Giroud and Welbeck and I think of course
:10:29. > :10:31.Sanchez is a great player, but he came on in the second half but I
:10:32. > :10:35.think in the second half it was easier for the strikers because we
:10:36. > :10:38.are more dominant in midfield and the back. We knew Arsenal would
:10:39. > :10:43.bounce back in the second half and with Sanchez, the highest quality
:10:44. > :10:47.player, but the problem was he plays completely different to Welbeck and
:10:48. > :10:53.so we had to adapt until we adapted, we had already two big chances, and
:10:54. > :10:58.Simon saved our lives in this situation. People say its top 16 but
:10:59. > :11:02.the Premier League is the best league in the world, it's not just
:11:03. > :11:06.the top six that are good teams. As Leicester showed last season. We've
:11:07. > :11:11.just got to keep working hard and hopefully gain some consistency. We
:11:12. > :11:14.speak about a long-term project and nobody is in doubt about each other.
:11:15. > :11:18.I'm not about the players, the play is not about me, the owner is not
:11:19. > :11:22.about me, so it's completely fine apart from the few results and
:11:23. > :11:26.performances that are right. You're out of the top four since the turn
:11:27. > :11:30.of the year for the first time and people will say that it now, but
:11:31. > :11:34.there's a long way to go. That's always it and I've been asked that
:11:35. > :11:38.question is many times. Let's see where we are in May. We are in a job
:11:39. > :11:42.where we have to perform and we have to focus on that. We'll come to
:11:43. > :11:46.Arsene Wenger and Arsenal shortly, but it was the finest play from
:11:47. > :11:50.Liverpool, played Xumetra Mendis football. You could have picked out
:11:51. > :11:54.a number of players, but you've gone for Lallana. -- played tremendous
:11:55. > :11:58.football. I have, he epitomised what was good about Liverpool today. It
:11:59. > :12:04.was Liverpool of pre-Christmas, the one we expect to see when they play
:12:05. > :12:07.anybody at Anfield on the front foot, energy, tenacity, and I think
:12:08. > :12:11.he's added everything to his game this year. He's had a little low,
:12:12. > :12:15.like all the team have, but he had a point to prove today. I had to put
:12:16. > :12:19.this down from so many different examples to a few, but his pressing
:12:20. > :12:23.and his willingness to get the team, to win the ball back in the opposing
:12:24. > :12:26.half and get the team on the front foot, was incredible. He continued
:12:27. > :12:33.this energy. People talk about blowing up in the second-half as a
:12:34. > :12:36.team, he didn't. He was sensational. Arsenal were playing into his hands
:12:37. > :12:40.in many ways, stupid little balls into the middle of the pitch when
:12:41. > :12:44.they've got a high press. Of course, I accept that, but you still got to
:12:45. > :12:47.have the energy and the desire to win the ball back. We know he's a
:12:48. > :12:51.good footballer, he is creative, but this part of this game, playing in a
:12:52. > :12:54.central position is so much better for Lallana. He is so much more
:12:55. > :13:06.involved in the game and every aspect. In the last few
:13:07. > :13:10.minutes of the ball. Look at that for a pass outside his foot. In
:13:11. > :13:12.those central areas with his energy and ability to see the whole pitch,
:13:13. > :13:16.he's becoming Liverpool's most influential player. He certainly is.
:13:17. > :13:20.Alexis Sanchez left out, he scored or assisted in 26 goals this season.
:13:21. > :13:25.Can you make any sense of that decision?
:13:26. > :13:30.Stunning, I can't understand why Arsene Wenger would not play him, he
:13:31. > :13:34.is their best player. He said he wants to play more direct. They
:13:35. > :13:39.didn't play the long ball. They didn't do that in the match, as
:13:40. > :13:43.Danny has shown with Lallana. I'm struggling to remember a more tepid
:13:44. > :13:49.Arsenal performance in the last 20 years under Arsene Wenger. There was
:13:50. > :13:52.a lack of spirit, of fire in their bellies. They just basically didn't
:13:53. > :13:56.turn up in the first half and left themselves far too much to do. Some
:13:57. > :14:00.of the defending had you hiding behind the sofa. Gary, there is a
:14:01. > :14:04.thing about territory when you are on the pitch. Where are you as a
:14:05. > :14:08.back four? This is far too deep, this is the back four, they should
:14:09. > :14:16.be on the edge of the centre circle where you can win the ball and in
:14:17. > :14:18.the opposition half. Koscielny leaves too much to do, he should
:14:19. > :14:22.still win this, he's coming from such a long way back, flies through
:14:23. > :14:25.the air, all of a sudden they are in trouble, Firmino makes a run, nobody
:14:26. > :14:30.tracks him, easy as you like, these are basics and it's a good quality
:14:31. > :14:34.finish lifted over the keeper. But that can be dealt with, I'm sure it
:14:35. > :14:37.can be dealt with on the day and on the training pitch. Look at this
:14:38. > :14:41.situation, 13 yards before they engage an opposition player. They
:14:42. > :14:47.should be doing that on the halfway line. Too much time and space. Look
:14:48. > :14:50.at this, Iwobi, he lets Wijnaldum run off his shoulder, and all of a
:14:51. > :14:55.sudden they are in trouble and look, you can see where he wants to run,
:14:56. > :14:59.Mustafi has to come across and then it is a numbers game, that is what
:15:00. > :15:03.football is. Three versus two and they played Lallana with a really
:15:04. > :15:08.clever pass and it is cleared Danac switched to the back post and Sadio
:15:09. > :15:12.Mane does the rest. Basic errors, make one mistake and accommodation
:15:13. > :15:13.of mistakes come from that. That should be sorted out on the training
:15:14. > :15:18.pitch. The form book suggested a home win
:15:19. > :15:21.at the Liberty Stadium. Swansea City have been much
:15:22. > :15:24.improved under Paul Clement, while Burnley had won just two
:15:25. > :15:28.points on their travels all season. Commentary from John Roder.
:15:29. > :15:33.Dutch international Luciano Narsingh makes his first offer Swansea since
:15:34. > :15:37.joining in January from PSV. The Swans have won the last two at The
:15:38. > :15:41.Liberty Stadium, Leroy Fer got the winner when they won by a single
:15:42. > :15:45.goal at Burnley on the opening weekend of the season. 37-year-old
:15:46. > :15:49.Paul Robinson replaces Tom Heaton in gold, Paul Heaton was taken ill
:15:50. > :15:54.overnight. Welsh international Sam Vokes comes in for Ashley Barnes who
:15:55. > :15:55.was suspended. This is the second of four successive away matches for
:15:56. > :16:09.Sean Dyche's team. Vokes hoping to let that ball run.
:16:10. > :16:14.Naughton gets it away. Narsingh. Looking to shrug off the attentions
:16:15. > :16:20.of Ward. This will be a caution, the first of the afternoon. Stephen Ward
:16:21. > :16:23.has had problems with Luciano Narsingh right throughout the early
:16:24. > :16:28.stages of the match and it is a booking inside the opening ten
:16:29. > :16:31.minutes for the Burnley left-back. Sigurdsson will take. Plenty of
:16:32. > :16:40.heads trying to get on the end of it and it is Mawson macro against the
:16:41. > :16:45.bar. Through for a Narsingh command against the bar! Swansea so close to
:16:46. > :16:50.scoring. Real problems for Burnley at the back. The header against the
:16:51. > :16:56.bar from Mawson, and as it fell kindly here for Swansea, the shot in
:16:57. > :17:05.the end from Mawson also against the frame of the goal.
:17:06. > :17:15.Leroy Fer trying to get away from Hendrick. Year-ends Llorente!
:17:16. > :17:20.Fernando Llorente moves into double figures for the season and scores
:17:21. > :17:24.for the second week in succession. Swansea were so unfortunate not to
:17:25. > :17:29.score just a few moments earlier, Alfie Mawson hitting the bar and the
:17:30. > :17:35.post-. But how about this for a cross? Leroy Fer bending it into
:17:36. > :17:38.absolute perfection back across goal in between the two defenders.
:17:39. > :17:43.Nothing Robinson could do about that.
:17:44. > :17:52.Ward. Gray trying to spin away from Fernandez and it got a touch off
:17:53. > :17:57.Fernandez on the way through. Fabianski stretching to push that
:17:58. > :18:02.behind for the corner. Andre Gray battling hard here, and you can see
:18:03. > :18:05.the ball off the foot of the Swansea defender. Fabianski readjusts
:18:06. > :18:15.superbly. Burnley's first corner of the match. Keane's header. It will
:18:16. > :18:21.be another corner. Fernandez could have left that, didn't get a shout.
:18:22. > :18:28.In towards Mee. Appeals for a handball.
:18:29. > :18:32.WHISTLE And it's been given. Penalty kick to
:18:33. > :18:37.Burnley, and you can see what Swansea think of that. Anthony
:18:38. > :18:42.Taylor had a think and then pointed to the spot. There's the handball.
:18:43. > :18:46.Now, that looked as if it came off the arm of Sam Vokes. No further
:18:47. > :18:56.action taken by Anthony Taylor. Andre Gray up against Lukasz
:18:57. > :19:02.Fabianski. And Gray makes it 1-1. It's only the seventh goal Burnley
:19:03. > :19:07.have scored on their travels this season and it has brought them back
:19:08. > :19:12.on level terms here in South Wales. Simple execution of the penalty, a
:19:13. > :19:16.far from simple explanation for the penalty. You can see here the
:19:17. > :19:23.reaction of the Swansea players in particular, and it clearly strikes
:19:24. > :19:31.the arm of Sam Vokes. That's the referee's view. Certain to be a
:19:32. > :19:35.major talking point. Cork steps away from Hendrick. Options left and
:19:36. > :19:37.right here for Jack Cork. Sigurdsson. He goes for goal and
:19:38. > :19:53.almost found it as well. Carroll. The chase is on here for
:19:54. > :19:59.Sigurdsson. Olsson, terrific run. Can he provide the cross to match?
:20:00. > :20:04.Llorente! Off the bar, and that is the third time in this first half
:20:05. > :20:07.that Swansea have found the frame of the goal. Twice from Mawson, and now
:20:08. > :20:19.from Llorente. The rain continues to come down
:20:20. > :20:24.quite heavily here at the Validity. Leroy Fer finds Sigurdsson. Looking
:20:25. > :20:29.to place it in the bottom corner and he would have done as well but it
:20:30. > :20:34.was Ben Mee in the right place to clear that one away. -- Liberty
:20:35. > :20:41.Stadium. Swansea again come close to scoring.
:20:42. > :21:04.Lowton towards Vokes. Gray able to turn and fire it in past Fabianski.
:21:05. > :21:09.Brilliant piece of play from Andre Gray. His second goal today takes
:21:10. > :21:14.him up to nine for the season and puts Burnley in front. They've
:21:15. > :21:20.scored only six goals on their travels in the Premier League before
:21:21. > :21:25.today the season, and they've scored twice here today and we're just past
:21:26. > :21:30.the hour mark. Vokes with the knock-down and Andrey Kraitor able
:21:31. > :21:42.to spin, turn, shoot and score -- Andre Gray. Vokes. Forward by Brady.
:21:43. > :21:46.Gray. Vokes making the running to the area. Couldn't quite provide the
:21:47. > :21:53.finishing touch. Having taken the lead just a few moments ago, Burnley
:21:54. > :22:01.almost extending it here. Carroll. Sigurdsson. Olsson.
:22:02. > :22:15.Sigurdsson. The little back heeled to find Olsson who is in behind and
:22:16. > :22:25.scores Martin Olsson makes it 2-2. How about that for the backheel?
:22:26. > :22:34.Olsson still had plenty to do but beats Robinson with a firm strike.
:22:35. > :22:36.Swansea 2-2 Burnley. Ayew with a burst of pace. He wins a
:22:37. > :22:52.corner off Keane. Sigurdsson's wafted corner is a deep
:22:53. > :23:02.one. It came off Mee. Fernandez. Keane with the header. Olsson. If
:23:03. > :23:05.he'd caught that correctly it could have been a very spectacular goal
:23:06. > :23:14.indeed. Llorente. Fer just able to hold off
:23:15. > :23:24.the challenge there. Carroll. Curling it in towards
:23:25. > :23:29.Llorente! He's done it again! It's his fourth brace of the season and
:23:30. > :23:34.Fernando Llorente may have given Swansea a huge three points in their
:23:35. > :23:41.battle for survival. Paul Clement has gone off down the touchline.
:23:42. > :23:44.Barry Frei style. How about this for a precise delivery? And what about
:23:45. > :23:49.that for a header from Fernando Llorente? Firmly struck beyond
:23:50. > :23:55.Robinson and Swansea City will get another three points.
:23:56. > :24:00.I was a centre-half and I know how Centre forwards get that high in the
:24:01. > :24:03.air to win a header like that and that is usually by pushing or
:24:04. > :24:07.climbing on the other player's back and it was clear, I thought. We
:24:08. > :24:10.would have nicked a point today but you have to do that and we've done
:24:11. > :24:14.it before and teams have done it against us. Over the balance of the
:24:15. > :24:18.season you get one back somewhere. The only disappointment is that late
:24:19. > :24:23.on in the game to have a big decision go against you, we have had
:24:24. > :24:28.a few go against us this season. Amazing, amazing cross, very good
:24:29. > :24:32.goal for all my team. We are improving every day and I'm really
:24:33. > :24:36.happy for this. After the game I spoke to the Swansea manager Paul
:24:37. > :24:40.Clement. Congratulations, Paul. Another vital
:24:41. > :24:43.victory and it was a late one. It's a massive win for us, we put
:24:44. > :24:49.pressure on ourselves today to really get that win. It's a very
:24:50. > :24:54.important month for us. We've been playing well, especially at home and
:24:55. > :24:58.that's the third victory in a row now. Wins against Leicester and
:24:59. > :25:04.Southampton. I think we were thoroughly deserving of the win as
:25:05. > :25:09.well. We pushed hard. I think two crossbars and a post and a penalty
:25:10. > :25:13.for them that shouldn't have been. And then having them behind, though,
:25:14. > :25:17.fantastic resilience and character from the players to push right to be
:25:18. > :25:22.very last moment to get the victory. You mentioned a penalty, Paul, it
:25:23. > :25:26.was an extraordinary decision, wasn't it?
:25:27. > :25:30.Pretty bizarre. There was a brief moment where everyone was waiting to
:25:31. > :25:35.see what he'd given and a big surprise. I couldn't see what had
:25:36. > :25:38.happened. And I asked and the linesman and the fourth official
:25:39. > :25:43.didn't know either. We later found out he had given it for handball.
:25:44. > :25:47.The video clearly shows it wasn't a handball by us anyway. What's the
:25:48. > :25:50.significant change you've made to things since you've come in, Paul,
:25:51. > :25:54.that's obviously made things turn around so quickly and so well? I
:25:55. > :25:59.only know what I've done and not necessarily what happened before. I
:26:00. > :26:03.got to say, we try and have a hard week and an easier weekend. It's
:26:04. > :26:07.never an easy weekend, that's for sure. But if you really put the
:26:08. > :26:11.effort in on the training ground in all areas physically and mentally,
:26:12. > :26:14.technically and tactically as well, you've got a much better chance when
:26:15. > :26:19.it comes to the weekends. That's the way we've been working altogether.
:26:20. > :26:22.With the winning goal which was a fabulous you were charging down the
:26:23. > :26:29.touchline, Mourinhoesque. I wish I'd not that because I'm
:26:30. > :26:35.still out of breath from it! But that's the excitement of a
:26:36. > :26:37.last-second win a. Is a fantastic feeling.
:26:38. > :26:43.Paul, congratulations, thank you for talking to us and good luck for the
:26:44. > :26:46.rest of the season. Swansea's resigned or continues. I suppose
:26:47. > :26:49.when you have a striker of the aerial presence of Fernando Llorente
:26:50. > :26:56.you just have to get the ball in the box. -- revival continues. They did
:26:57. > :26:59.and they worked on it, and they have more crosses into the box than they
:27:00. > :27:03.have in any other game in the season. They are playing some good
:27:04. > :27:07.football, their performance has been great. Putting crosses in the box is
:27:08. > :27:09.fine but you have to put them in with quality and the quality of
:27:10. > :27:15.Swansea's crosses today was sensational. This is one of the best
:27:16. > :27:19.I've seen the season from Fer. When you bubbles like this in the box,
:27:20. > :27:25.he's that good in the air he is going to score. It kept happening.
:27:26. > :27:29.-- when you put crosses like this in the box. Again, hitting the
:27:30. > :27:33.woodwork. Carroll has been playing so well, he is a great technician,
:27:34. > :27:36.good little footballer, keeps them ticking. He found himself on the
:27:37. > :27:40.left-hand side and again and again he kept putting in quality. This
:27:41. > :27:45.time the Sigurdsson getting on the end of that one. Look at this for a
:27:46. > :27:54.cross. He's just caressing it into the box, he's not trying to hit it
:27:55. > :27:57.too hard, giving him a chance. Very difficult to defend against. And the
:27:58. > :27:59.winning goal, foul or no foul, that is just top-quality football. When
:28:00. > :28:02.you are that powerful and have that presence you worry defenders and
:28:03. > :28:06.they backed off and they were scared of him today. How, as a central
:28:07. > :28:10.defender, do you deal with somebody that good in the air? Tricky, he's a
:28:11. > :28:16.sweet header of the ball, he hits it like a peach every time, very good
:28:17. > :28:19.size and he has a good leap. You have to work out, calculating the
:28:20. > :28:24.situation, Michael Keane should be thinking about nothing else other
:28:25. > :28:27.than marking in the box, I don't care what is out wide, calculate on
:28:28. > :28:30.the angle, I think it is going in there, drop off and give yourself
:28:31. > :28:34.the best chance, body shape goes out of the window, if I get in the right
:28:35. > :28:40.position I should be able to clear it. He is not a near post merchant.
:28:41. > :28:44.Again, beautiful the way he does that back across the goal. Can his
:28:45. > :28:49.full-back let him know? He can but don't rely on your full-back.
:28:50. > :28:52.Another one, Ben Mee, too far apart, the full-back could tuck in,
:28:53. > :28:56.calculate where it is going, Llorente can do it but why can't the
:28:57. > :29:01.defender? But I will say it is definitely a foul, he has his arm on
:29:02. > :29:04.his back, it's happening a lot and referees are letting it go, in my
:29:05. > :29:08.day it would have been blown up. He got away with that one but probably
:29:09. > :29:13.deserves it. Talking about that, Anthony Taylor had a wrong one, he
:29:14. > :29:18.has made a bad decision. He's been on his stag week this week so maybe
:29:19. > :29:22.he has a hangover and an excuse. There is no excuse, we have looked
:29:23. > :29:25.at it from different angles. I don't know what he's seeing because every
:29:26. > :29:30.angle we look at it it looks like a Burnley player, well, it is a
:29:31. > :29:35.Burnley player. He should only blow if he really knows. He is guessing.
:29:36. > :29:40.He has guest. That's the closest to the referee's angle. Looks like he
:29:41. > :29:44.has a decent line of sight. That's what I'm saying. Swansea coming back
:29:45. > :29:46.from that takes a lot of mental strength. Two matches down, five
:29:47. > :29:56.more on the way. Pogba. Chadli with the shot. The
:29:57. > :30:10.diving header by Ramadan. Leicester met Hull in what looked
:30:11. > :30:13.like a crucial match near the bottom of the table.
:30:14. > :30:16.On Monday, the champions had finally woken from their slumber
:30:17. > :30:25.with a superb performance to beat Liverpool.
:30:26. > :30:35.The English champions Leicester have sacked their manager, Ranieri. They
:30:36. > :30:39.weren't expecting it. Surely you've got to point the finger at the
:30:40. > :30:45.players. Surely. This time last year, Leicester were ten games from
:30:46. > :30:55.the title. Now they are on the bottom three and without a manager.
:30:56. > :31:07.Vardy was... What a goal! Fantastic strike. Absolutely brilliant from
:31:08. > :31:14.Leicester City. Crisis, what crisis? Your commentator at the King Power
:31:15. > :31:16.Stadium was John Motson. COMMENTATOR:
:31:17. > :31:22.Craig Shakespeare looks for a second Leicester win in six days, which
:31:23. > :31:26.would surely boost his chances of being appointed permanently. He's
:31:27. > :31:29.taking the squad to do by lap next week for a four daybreak before they
:31:30. > :31:34.face Seville in the Champions League in their next match here, a week on
:31:35. > :31:38.Tuesday. The Leicester line-up is unchanged from that victory over
:31:39. > :31:42.Liverpool. It's the 4-4- two that the players are used. Job Marco
:31:43. > :31:47.Silva is doing at Hull has been under the radar this week. Is
:31:48. > :31:52.integrating six new signings into the team and results have improved.
:31:53. > :31:57.The injury to Ember Carney wins the start up front for Oumar Niasse. Sam
:31:58. > :32:05.Clucas returns after suspension. Craig Shakespeare did say this would
:32:06. > :32:07.be a harder game than Liverpool, and possibly more important. Vardy is
:32:08. > :32:15.really putting himself about here. And he's got, it comes to
:32:16. > :32:20.Albrighton, oh my word, and Vardy here was the provider. Was the
:32:21. > :32:24.onside there? Well, only just, I would say, but Albrighton comes in
:32:25. > :32:32.on the far post. A good start by Leicester City. Mahrez.
:32:33. > :32:42.A flying save from Jakupovic. Mrs Ndidi and he's lost it to Clucas and
:32:43. > :32:51.Hull City break away. On this side is Niasse. Supporting him here.
:32:52. > :32:58.Clucas is in there and Hull City have taken the lead. Marco Silva's
:32:59. > :33:02.team, under the cosh from Leicester for most of the opening period. But
:33:03. > :33:10.look what happens here. Leicester gives the ball away. Well, almost
:33:11. > :33:18.suicidal position, if the opposing team brake properly. This is Niasse.
:33:19. > :33:24.It's a good cut back by Brzezinski but Clucas comes in Dunt took that
:33:25. > :33:32.away for Hull, who lead 1-0 -- a good cut back by Rosicky. Sam Clucas
:33:33. > :33:42.was released by Leicester as a schoolboy, that is the irony. Vardy.
:33:43. > :33:54.Okazaki goes near post. Leicester City have equalised.
:33:55. > :34:04.Leicester are level. Christian Fuchs, who was outstanding last
:34:05. > :34:11.season, not so much this up until now, gets involved here with a
:34:12. > :34:15.deadly effects. Vardy plays the ball in, Christian Fuchs has made his run
:34:16. > :34:22.into the penalty area and tucks it away from Jakupovic and its
:34:23. > :34:26.Leicester City one, Hull City one. Hull beat Leicester 2-1 on the
:34:27. > :34:31.opening day of the season. At their stadium. Then they won at Swansea,
:34:32. > :34:37.but they've since gone 12 away games without a win, Hull City, losing ten
:34:38. > :34:42.of them. Hull City then have got a corner. Maguire has come forward. So
:34:43. > :34:50.too has Ranocchia. Ranocchia tries to get a flick on there. That was
:34:51. > :35:01.mighty close for Harry Maguire. He is a player that is attracting a lot
:35:02. > :35:08.of attention, recently. Markovic, oh, yes, Albrighton for Leicester.
:35:09. > :35:10.As sliding challenge. Maguire getting across the box to stop
:35:11. > :35:28.Vardy. Corner to Leicester. A bit of trickery down by the line.
:35:29. > :35:34.Corner again. This is where Mahrez can be so clever. Okazaki standing
:35:35. > :35:39.in the middle of the six yard box is well aware of it. He was trying to
:35:40. > :35:45.get in on the nearby -- near post, stop by Robertson. Leicester's
:35:46. > :35:52.corner. Drinkwater was trying to latch onto that. Hull have three
:35:53. > :35:58.players making the break-out. Bus with possession for Leicester. --
:35:59. > :36:08.Huth. Mahrez, and still, trying to work the space. Mahrez, oh! He's
:36:09. > :36:14.back at the forefront of Leicester City's attack, Riyad Mahrez.
:36:15. > :36:24.He had the ball for a long time. Drinking about. But when he fired
:36:25. > :36:32.his shot I think he surprised Jakupovic a bit, going in at the
:36:33. > :36:37.near post. Look how hard he works for the opportunity, and it was his
:36:38. > :36:38.right but that finally finished it. Off Leicester City two, Hull City
:36:39. > :36:59.one. Niasse thought that might creep
:37:00. > :37:01.inside Schmeichel's near post, it didn't. The goalkeeper got a very
:37:02. > :37:13.good hand to that. Demarai Gray will makes the
:37:14. > :37:21.challenge, wins the ball. This is Christian Fuchs, Gray. Takes on
:37:22. > :37:27.Elmohamady, Demarai Gray. Jakupovic just turned it round the near post.
:37:28. > :37:30.Gray scored at Manchester United for Leicester and also in the FA Cup
:37:31. > :37:45.against Derby. He might have had a third there. What a finish. It's in.
:37:46. > :37:49.I think it might have come off Hull player. It's Tom Huddlestone who
:37:50. > :37:54.looks very dejected. Well, the corner swung in and I do think
:37:55. > :37:58.that's gone in off Tom Huddlestone. Leicester City now leads 3-1 and Tom
:37:59. > :38:04.Huddlestone, who scored last week against Burnley penalty now sees the
:38:05. > :38:12.ball go in at the other end, off his head. It's six points out of 64
:38:13. > :38:18.Craig Shakespeare. Leicester City three, Hull City one. Coming from
:38:19. > :38:22.behind to win, that's the rest of last season, isn't it? Yes, I spoke
:38:23. > :38:26.to the players, the character they showed. It was against the run of
:38:27. > :38:31.play when we went 1-0 down, but to bounce back the way we did, it
:38:32. > :38:36.showed resilience in the side. Talk us through your goal. You don't
:38:37. > :38:42.score many. If I score they are least effective and important. We
:38:43. > :38:47.had a couple of them on the side and thank God he saw me with cut back
:38:48. > :38:52.and I was trying to get the ball and I'm thankful it when my way. How
:38:53. > :38:56.concerned are you about your team's away form. One winner look -- away
:38:57. > :39:04.from home all season. Of course, it's clear we need to be strong and
:39:05. > :39:07.to fight like we fight today, but most important is when you have a
:39:08. > :39:12.chance to score, you need to score, because it makes the difference
:39:13. > :39:15.during the matches. You go away to Dubai for some warm weather
:39:16. > :39:19.training. Have you been told what happens after that in terms of your
:39:20. > :39:22.position? No, I haven't and I'm quite comfortable with that. We'll
:39:23. > :39:27.have a few days away, we'll get back and that will take care of itself.
:39:28. > :39:30.We'll come to that shortly. Leicester were revitalised in many
:39:31. > :39:36.ways and although he didn't score today, so is Jamie Vardy. I thought
:39:37. > :39:40.after Monday nights, are we going to see Leicester continue and kick on
:39:41. > :39:44.from that, or are we going to go back to Leicester of a few weeks ago
:39:45. > :39:48.and it be a one off. And it wasn't. It was like watching Leicester of
:39:49. > :39:51.last season in many ways. Vardy setting the tone, running himself
:39:52. > :39:55.into Walsall South areas to help his team. He started on the right side,
:39:56. > :39:58.playing on Maguire and he realised early in the game he wasn't going to
:39:59. > :40:02.have too much joy over there. There was a run he got tackled on and he
:40:03. > :40:09.went over to the left side, that's a Super Bowl by the way, and he got
:40:10. > :40:12.joy, because he was quick. -- a super ball by the way. He was
:40:13. > :40:16.causing all sorts of problems. That was a great chance. The good thing
:40:17. > :40:19.about Leicester ran Vardy, even when they are goal down they play with
:40:20. > :40:23.confidence, getting forward, trying to score goals. Unlucky with his
:40:24. > :40:27.touch. This is what we remember Vardy for last season, not just
:40:28. > :40:30.running in behind and scoring goals, it's constantly putting defenders
:40:31. > :40:33.under pressure. It's that classic run. Albrighton, I don't know what
:40:34. > :40:38.he's waiting for, he should be running into that and tapping it in.
:40:39. > :40:44.For the goal he becomes provider, a little give and go, too tight,
:40:45. > :40:49.centre-half. Can he pick someone out? Confident Vardy does. Although
:40:50. > :40:54.he didn't score today, really, really good performance, pleased for
:40:55. > :40:58.him. Craig Shakespeare is now in control, he's two wins out of two.
:40:59. > :41:07.What do you make of this sudden change now that Ranieri has gone?
:41:08. > :41:13.Suddenly he was to be manager. Why is it you suddenly want to be...
:41:14. > :41:18.He's not necessarily Ranieri's man who he's brought in. Yes, but you
:41:19. > :41:21.have personal ambition but I do feel it's almost out of order that he
:41:22. > :41:24.wants to jump in for that job. Surely they will go for a manager
:41:25. > :41:27.that is bigger, with more experience. It's a big club to
:41:28. > :41:32.manage now, Leicester. They are playing in the Champions League.
:41:33. > :41:38.What do you reckon? While he's winning, leaving men charge, what's
:41:39. > :41:41.the rush? Why rush in? No point, carry on. As for Hull, Garraway
:41:42. > :41:46.form, they will have to turn it around if they are going to win.
:41:47. > :41:46.Very much so, that's the story, a very disappointing afternoon for
:41:47. > :41:50.them. Southampton may have lost the EFL
:41:51. > :41:52.Cup Final last Sunday, but they took Manchester United
:41:53. > :41:54.all the way with an Could they continue that form
:41:55. > :41:58.in the league, at Watford? Watching at Vicarage
:41:59. > :42:10.Road was Steve Wilson. Two Italian strikers feature at
:42:11. > :42:14.Vicarage Road today. It's fair to say Okaka's career in England is yet
:42:15. > :42:18.to get off the ground. Gabbiadini has scored five goals in three
:42:19. > :42:23.appearances for Southampton so far, so to say his career in England has
:42:24. > :42:26.hit the ground running. This Southampton was not only league game
:42:27. > :42:37.in five weeks they haven't lost here in almost a decade. -- it is
:42:38. > :42:41.Southampton's only league game here in five weeks. They haven't lost
:42:42. > :42:45.here in almost a decade. Behrami, into Deeney. Kaboul, for Watford.
:42:46. > :42:50.This is Niang. Watford get the throwing. Won by
:42:51. > :43:02.Niang. It's Kaboul's throw. That's
:43:03. > :43:16.Gabbiadini with the clearing header. Deeney's flick on, Davis came
:43:17. > :43:24.across. Deeney in! Great reactions from Drogba Deeney -- Troy Deeney to
:43:25. > :43:30.volley Watford in front. Only the fourth minute of the game at
:43:31. > :43:36.Vicarage Road. Troy Deeney. It's his flick, Okaka on the turn. Davis half
:43:37. > :43:41.away and Deeney, with the ball at an awkward hip height, manages to
:43:42. > :43:43.volley it into the corner of the Southampton net. His ninth goal of
:43:44. > :43:55.the season. Ward-Prowse. Davies. Ward-Prowse
:43:56. > :43:59.finding Tadic, not sure he meant it, it has come back to James
:44:00. > :44:05.Ward-Prowse and Heurelho Gomes got a touch on that. It's a corner. They
:44:06. > :44:11.cut a way through here, albeit with a bit of fortune on the way through.
:44:12. > :44:18.Ward-Prowse is onside, definitely. Gomes got something on it, not
:44:19. > :44:22.entirely intentionally. There will be more goals in this. Southampton
:44:23. > :44:26.will feel they started the better of the two teams but fell behind. Nice
:44:27. > :44:36.from Redmond. Tadic Vostok Tadic ghosting in, Kaboul got a foot on
:44:37. > :44:39.it, Tadic, 1-1. Watford are saying that as the shot went through the
:44:40. > :44:45.crowd into the back of the net there was a Southampton man of sight. Nice
:44:46. > :44:49.flick from Redmond, little flitting run from Tadic. Not a great
:44:50. > :44:52.intervention from the Watford defender Kaboul, straight back to
:44:53. > :44:58.Tadic, and Redmond who is standing in an offside position and very
:44:59. > :45:02.close to goalkeeper Gomes, adjudged to have made no attempt to play the
:45:03. > :45:04.ball. Indeed he made every attempt not to play the ball, jumping over
:45:05. > :45:13.it. Redmond, away from Behrami easily
:45:14. > :45:17.and away from Kabul, Ward-Prowse on the turn, Tadic, Gabbiadini in the
:45:18. > :45:25.middle, pulled back. Redmond! And in. Beautiful goal.
:45:26. > :45:30.Wonderful team goal by Southampton finished off by Redmond. And in
:45:31. > :45:38.stoppage time at the end of the first half Southampton are in front.
:45:39. > :45:42.A lovely, lovely goal. Redmond's drive really got them on the front
:45:43. > :45:46.foot. Lovely turn by Ward-Prowse. Great awareness from Tadic and a
:45:47. > :45:49.super finish. Watford 1-2 Southampton. High-quality goal. He
:45:50. > :45:59.enjoyed that one, and why not? Southampton where one place and one
:46:00. > :46:05.point behind Watford at start of play with one game in hand. At the
:46:06. > :46:09.moment, if it stays like this, they will be moving above the Hornets.
:46:10. > :46:19.Both in mid-table, both looking safe. 61 play, Southampton free
:46:20. > :46:26.kick, Dusan Tadic. Good save by Gomes to deny Yoshida. As this is
:46:27. > :46:32.whipped in it's a really good save by Heurelho Gomes again, who has
:46:33. > :46:41.been by far the busier goalkeeper. Blocked by Younes Kaboul. M'Baye
:46:42. > :46:42.Niang here, Flintoff Romeu's head, to Stefano Okaka and now Isaac
:46:43. > :47:03.Success. -- flicked off. Okaka! 2-2. Took it really well. Really laid
:47:04. > :47:12.into his feet by Isaac Success and a very smart finish.
:47:13. > :47:20.Here is Davies, and he's lost it, and here is a Kakko, Behrami to his
:47:21. > :47:26.right. Stefano Okaka... Well covered by Stevens. Southampton have started
:47:27. > :47:40.making mistakes and giving Watford gifts. They have got away with that
:47:41. > :47:44.one. Here is Redmond. Boufal. Went for Carol, and Gabbiadini scorers
:47:45. > :47:50.again for Southampton! Heurelho Gomes with the mistake, and who is
:47:51. > :47:55.there? Gabbiadini is there an Southampton lead 3-2. End to end.
:47:56. > :48:01.Watford almost at one end, Southampton straight down the other.
:48:02. > :48:06.Boufal took the shot. It wasn't a great one, it should be meat and
:48:07. > :48:10.drink, but somehow Gomes drops it straight to the feet of Manolo
:48:11. > :48:18.Gabbiadini. Well, it did bounce in front of the Watford goalkeeper, but
:48:19. > :48:23.really, really, Gomes knows. All the quality is coming from the team in
:48:24. > :48:30.red and white. Here is Dusan Tadic, Redmond gets it, Long in the middle,
:48:31. > :48:34.Redmond running at Prodl. It's four! Nathan Redmond surely seals the game
:48:35. > :48:41.with Southampton's fourth and his second of the game. So much space
:48:42. > :48:49.down the left-hand side, Redmond. Prodl gets across. Redmond, well,
:48:50. > :48:58.it's really poorly defended, but Redmond is not complaining.
:48:59. > :49:06.It's a free kick to Watford for a foul by Stevens on Deeney. Not too
:49:07. > :49:07.many Watford fans are left inside the stadium to see what happens from
:49:08. > :49:24.this free kick. Holebas. M'Baye Niang. Watford have
:49:25. > :49:34.six yellow shirts in the box. M'Baye Niang delivers and it is flicked in.
:49:35. > :49:40.Watford have one back through Abdoulaye Doucoure. In it goes from
:49:41. > :49:44.M'Baye Niang, flashes through a lot of bodies, Doucoure on the back post
:49:45. > :49:50.just had to knock it over the line. Watford 3-4 Southampton.
:49:51. > :49:58.This team is always difficult to play against and it was important to
:49:59. > :50:03.keep possession and to try and play good football with good action and
:50:04. > :50:07.all the goals are beautiful. TRANSLATION: There were defensive
:50:08. > :50:11.mistakes in the second half but I wouldn't say it was a bad
:50:12. > :50:14.performance, we deserved the draw. At a certain point we almost went
:50:15. > :50:20.for the victory because we had the ball from 3-2 and on the
:50:21. > :50:27.counterattack they scored 3-3 and then 4-3. It was important today to
:50:28. > :50:32.play well and with the rotation of the forward three Oliver Kirch gives
:50:33. > :50:39.us freedom to play where we want and for a player like myself and Dusan
:50:40. > :50:43.and Gabbiadini, the most important thing is the three points and is not
:50:44. > :50:46.important how we get them. Another terrific game of football
:50:47. > :50:50.and Nathan Redmond continues to improve and impress, doesn't he?
:50:51. > :50:55.It's all about end product for him, great travelling with the ball. I
:50:56. > :51:00.have to say, considering the cup final defeat by great reaction from
:51:01. > :51:03.the whole team. He's confident and goes by people easily. I prefer him
:51:04. > :51:08.in central areas where he can go both ways because his left foot is
:51:09. > :51:11.not bad, that was a little site. That awareness, he's not just about
:51:12. > :51:15.pace, he has a good football brain and he is threatening the gold more.
:51:16. > :51:20.Everything is so measured. He receives the ball on his back foot.
:51:21. > :51:25.That is something they do on the training pitch. This is like a
:51:26. > :51:28.routine here, imagine doing this on the training pitch. He comes back
:51:29. > :51:35.here, picks his spot. Really good finish. He really has developed from
:51:36. > :51:39.the U21 team, Gareth Southgate must be looking to include him. Here he
:51:40. > :51:43.is with his second goal. The keeper should do better. I thought he was
:51:44. > :51:48.outstanding. All in all Southampton are having a good season. They
:51:49. > :51:52.played so well last week in the final as well. They were so, so
:51:53. > :51:54.unlucky and have had another good season considering the
:51:55. > :51:55.transformation of players in the summer. They do it every year.
:51:56. > :52:02.Remarkable really. Manchester United returned to league
:52:03. > :52:05.action having lifted the EFL Cup last weekend.
:52:06. > :52:07.They hosted a Bournemouth side whose poor recent run had left them
:52:08. > :52:08.just four points off the relegation places.
:52:09. > :52:17.Commentary comes from Guy Mowbray. The goals of splattered Ibrahimovic
:52:18. > :52:21.grabbed the glory and the EFL Cup for Manchester United last week but
:52:22. > :52:24.the performance of Paul Bob Ehrlich drew praise from Jeison Murillo and
:52:25. > :52:27.is poised to play a big part today against struggling Bournemouth who
:52:28. > :52:30.have Benik Afobe selected and Jack Wilshere dropping out for this one,
:52:31. > :52:34.and their manager Eddie Howe struggling with a stomach bug. He
:52:35. > :52:38.travelled to the games separately from his team.
:52:39. > :52:42.The game that almost never was at the end of last season, the original
:52:43. > :52:47.fixture on the final day of the Premier League campaign looked to be
:52:48. > :52:52.abandoned before it started before the Mac because of a bomb scare.
:52:53. > :52:59.Surman does well to skip past Mata. Joshua King. Barges into the back of
:53:00. > :53:03.Jones. The referee thinks it was all OK. Now Bournemouth get a corner
:53:04. > :53:08.much to the annoyance of Manchester United's players.
:53:09. > :53:20.Surman. Fraser returns the ball to Andrew Surman. It's not a bad ball
:53:21. > :53:25.into the middle. Mings couldn't get it under control. It's Luke Shaw who
:53:26. > :53:30.carries it away for United. He was looking for Martial who felt he was
:53:31. > :53:36.impeded. Nonetheless United are on the charge with Pogba. And it goes
:53:37. > :53:43.behind. It's an action packed start to the game and just enough on that
:53:44. > :53:48.from Boruc to turn it behind. Mings with an awful pass, Rooney is onto
:53:49. > :53:54.it, Ibrahimovic is with him. Here is Zlatan Ibrahimovic, or there he was.
:53:55. > :54:00.He keeps the attack going at least. Daniels Cooley gets away from Rooney
:54:01. > :54:03.and Bournemouth have got away, or to be more accurate, Tyrone Mings has
:54:04. > :54:11.got away with a huge mistake and now Afobe has got away from Marcos Rojo
:54:12. > :54:20.and slipped. Mistakes all over the field. Bournemouth lost the chance
:54:21. > :54:27.to take the lead. King holds off Carrick successfully. Carrick wins
:54:28. > :54:37.round two, lovely ball for Martial who has Boruc in the way again.
:54:38. > :54:54.Pogba. Valencia. Turned in by Marcos Rojo.
:54:55. > :54:59.Manchester United's dominance gets reward and Marcos Rojo, whose
:55:00. > :55:04.performance at Wembley drew quite a bit of criticism last weekend has
:55:05. > :55:13.just scored his first Premier League goal. Valencia with a chance to
:55:14. > :55:19.drill it and you can see Rojo is onside, played on by Steve Cook
:55:20. > :55:21.behind him, and all he had to do was divert it passed Boruc to make it
:55:22. > :55:37.Manchester United 1-0 Bournemouth. Surman. The referee has blown for a
:55:38. > :55:41.free kick to Manchester United. Surman saying he took the ball
:55:42. > :55:48.cleanly. The yellow card indicates it was on the reckless side of
:55:49. > :55:54.things. Surman. Afobe keeps it away from Carrick. Now here is Pugh and
:55:55. > :55:57.Pugh goes down under the challenge of Phil Jones and Bournemouth have a
:55:58. > :56:06.penalty and possibly a way back into the game. Good work from Afobe. And
:56:07. > :56:14.a sharp turn from pew with Jones already drawn into the challenge.
:56:15. > :56:24.Yellow card for Ibrahimovic for talking too much again. Josh King.
:56:25. > :56:29.Hey scores for Bournemouth and makes it Manchester United 1-1
:56:30. > :56:34.Bournemouth, and it's all level again. That was very confidently
:56:35. > :56:41.dispatched. O'Hehir is not reaching that one. Marcos Rojo. Ibrahimovic.
:56:42. > :56:50.Rooney beaten to it by Mings, and it has broken to Martial. He took him
:56:51. > :56:54.out and went tumbling after the tackle. Pogba. Rooney back to his
:56:55. > :57:08.feet now. Once again the hands of Boruc save Bournemouth. Rooney to
:57:09. > :57:17.Mata. Up goes Ibrahimovic. Not high enough and down went Mings after
:57:18. > :57:21.that brush with Eslad -- Zlatan Ibrahimovic. There was a push from
:57:22. > :57:26.Surman. Kevin Friend is going to call Ibrahimovic over to him first.
:57:27. > :57:31.Mings is still down, and if he was put to the floor by Ibrahimovic,
:57:32. > :57:38.already in the book, then Manchester United's Towers man, their number
:57:39. > :57:43.nine, is in serious trouble here. Yellow card for Surman. He's already
:57:44. > :57:47.been booked. Is he going to show a second yellow to Ibrahimovic in a
:57:48. > :57:54.moment? That was the challenge from Mings on Rooney and you can see that
:57:55. > :57:58.the boot catches Ibrahimovic's head and Ibrahimovic knew who it was and
:57:59. > :58:02.thrust his elbow back into the face of Mings. He has to go but he
:58:03. > :58:06.hasn't. I think Mings, he's having a look at it, but I wonder if he could
:58:07. > :58:11.got her might have got out of the way. He is lucky to stay on and so
:58:12. > :58:16.is Ibrahimovic. This all adds to the tension. We've still got to sort out
:58:17. > :58:22.the Andrew Surman confusion in a moment. I wonder if Wayne Rooney has
:58:23. > :58:31.just reminded Kevin Friend about the Bournemouth captain. Yes. Kevin
:58:32. > :58:36.Friend's pointing to the touchline. Surman got a yellow for the first
:58:37. > :58:43.challenge, the second one was a soft shelf on Ibrahimovic. In the end all
:58:44. > :58:45.that has happened is that very belatedly -- Szot shove. Andrew
:58:46. > :58:53.Surman has got a red card for the second yellow. -- shelf
:58:54. > :58:59.you don't want to take your eyes off this game for more than a few
:59:00. > :59:05.seconds, otherwise you are going to miss something. Pogba flying through
:59:06. > :59:12.the air, Artur Boruc keeps Bournemouth level. The man that
:59:13. > :59:15.Celtic fans call the holy goalie is blessed today. Ibrahimovic. Back to
:59:16. > :59:27.Valencia. Valencia's ball across, Pogba will
:59:28. > :59:34.try to keep it in. It's going to be a corner. It should be a penalty. It
:59:35. > :59:38.is a penalty! Kevin Friend took his time pointing to the spot. But
:59:39. > :59:49.eventually, he decided that the appeals were right. The hand does
:59:50. > :59:53.flap at the ball all right. Pogba is absolutely certain. The closeness of
:59:54. > :59:56.Adam Smith has to be an issue. And a chance for Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Of
:59:57. > :00:07.course, it would be him. Ibrahimovic against Boruc, and it is
:00:08. > :00:12.saved by Artur Boruc. Martial misses.
:00:13. > :00:22.Really well anticipated by Boruc. Struck firmly, maybe not cleanly,
:00:23. > :00:29.but he had to get across and down really sharply, and he did.
:00:30. > :00:42.Real red urgency now. Mata breezes past Gosling. Here's Martial. It's
:00:43. > :00:46.blocked by Smith. Nothing that time. Adam Smith was penalised for hand
:00:47. > :00:54.ball for the Manchester United penalty. He was even closer to the
:00:55. > :01:00.ball than he was then. That time, his arms definitely went in the air
:01:01. > :01:02.to try to stop the ball's pass. Five minutes, too long for Bournemouth,
:01:03. > :01:18.not enough for United. Fellaini is down. Ibrahimovic with
:01:19. > :01:24.the header. Rojo has lifted one through towards Ibrahimovic and
:01:25. > :01:31.there's Pogba. He has scuffed it. That was the moment for Manchester
:01:32. > :01:35.United. It's a scruffy build-up, but when it falls to Paul Pogba, you
:01:36. > :01:41.feel certain that he's going to hit back and at least forced a save from
:01:42. > :01:48.Boruc. And it's a messy mis-hit. And a howl of anguish to follow. Who can
:01:49. > :01:55.I blame? Ourselves. Nobody else. We missed big chances, but as I told
:01:56. > :01:58.them at half-time, we played well. It was clear the level of effort the
:01:59. > :02:03.lads put in, the way we defended when we needed to defend and I think
:02:04. > :02:06.we are going to need that fight and that spirit from now until the end
:02:07. > :02:11.of the season to get the point is that we need to stay up. For me, the
:02:12. > :02:15.two big decisions of the game, the referee was very good. I think it
:02:16. > :02:20.was a penalty against us will stop I think it was a clear penalty for us
:02:21. > :02:24.and the referee was spot on. Can you shed some light is on what happened
:02:25. > :02:30.between yourself and Tyrone Mings. There was all sorts going on. What
:02:31. > :02:37.happens on the field stays on the field. I jumped up, hi, I'm lucky he
:02:38. > :02:41.jumps into me and he jumps into my elbow. There will be things
:02:42. > :02:44.highlighted more than others, but I enjoyed it. It was a good battle all
:02:45. > :02:49.day. You know what you are going to come up against and we certainly had
:02:50. > :02:53.to stand up to the test. There's so many incidents in that game to talk
:02:54. > :03:01.about. Let's stick with the major ones. Of which there were a few. Can
:03:02. > :03:05.you start with mine, please? Obviously these two players early in
:03:06. > :03:09.the game, Ibrahimovic, Tyrone Mings, he's saying, I'm in charge, not you,
:03:10. > :03:14.and Tyrone Mings isn't having any of it. This is a tackle that comes in
:03:15. > :03:19.and is there a stamp there? There's definitely a stamp there. Really,
:03:20. > :03:23.this is down to interpretation, what team do you support? For me,
:03:24. > :03:26.Ibrahimovic has had a little bit of stamp and Tyrone Mings is very
:03:27. > :03:30.definitely, I think he can get out of the Wales Ibrahimovic but there's
:03:31. > :03:36.a little stamp there. The players would know. Mings is looking there,
:03:37. > :03:39.he's got to jump over him. He's got an age to find somewhere else. He
:03:40. > :03:44.doesn't need to tread on his head there. Dangerous play. It's whether
:03:45. > :03:48.it's intentional or not. I don't think we can say for sure. The more
:03:49. > :03:53.I have seen it, I don't think he meant it. No, I don't. My initial
:03:54. > :04:01.reaction was, that's horrible but I don't think Mings meant it. Watch
:04:02. > :04:06.the -- watch Zlatan. Mings gets up, have a look at the ball, has a quick
:04:07. > :04:11.look at what I've got to jump over. I feel he can put his foot somewhere
:04:12. > :04:16.else. Maybe, my gut tells me that was an accident. What about the
:04:17. > :04:20.following incident, Ibrahimovic elbow? That's more obvious. This is
:04:21. > :04:25.definitely an elbow and it could have caused just as much damage.
:04:26. > :04:32.Zlatan says he bumped into his elbow, he headed his elbow. No,
:04:33. > :04:35.that's a free shot he's had there. All I would say, you can never
:04:36. > :04:39.condone that, ever, but if he thinks someone has stamped on his head he's
:04:40. > :04:45.going to be a tad angry. So I kind of get where he's even though it's
:04:46. > :04:49.not acceptable. Do you think there might be retrospective action?
:04:50. > :04:55.Certainly. There can't be on Mings, if he says he didn't mean it, how
:04:56. > :04:58.can you prove he did only the players really know what happened
:04:59. > :05:06.there. It's up to the authorities whether they want to step in. There
:05:07. > :05:10.was another incident, with Surman. Mrs Shaw's tackle early in the game,
:05:11. > :05:18.a good solid tackle. Left foot follows through momentum. This is
:05:19. > :05:24.Surman, on Shaw, who goes down, poleaxed for some reason. Good
:05:25. > :05:27.tackle. What's the difference? So Surman gets books, wrongly.
:05:28. > :05:31.Ridiculous, it annoys me. Now that is a booking because he has pushed
:05:32. > :05:37.the latter. Now Zlatan is a big, strong boy and I'm not sure he would
:05:38. > :05:41.have gone up to him in the middle of the street and he would have gone
:05:42. > :05:48.over like that. Surman should not have been sent off. A tough day for
:05:49. > :05:53.Kevin Friend. He was landed in the -- Anthony Taylor's stag do this
:05:54. > :05:58.week as well! Have full Premier League permission that apparently.
:05:59. > :06:02.He had a terrible day. Stop the rot for Bournemouth. They were
:06:03. > :06:07.fantastic. To our mandate put in a hell of a shift and made sure that
:06:08. > :06:11.losing run ended. Fantastic. Match of the Day 2 has two
:06:12. > :06:14.more matches for you, as well as February's Goal
:06:15. > :06:29.of the Month. You can hear commentary
:06:30. > :06:38.on Sunderland against The European Indoor Athletics
:06:39. > :06:42.Championships continue in Belgrade, Tottenham versus Millwall in the FA
:06:43. > :06:47.Cup quarterfinals is live And the next day we've also got
:06:48. > :06:51.the big one between Chelsea West Brom have had an excellent
:06:52. > :07:00.season and were just three wins away from equalling their record points
:07:01. > :07:03.total in the Premier League. They faced Crystal Palace,
:07:04. > :07:05.who started the day Simon Brotherton
:07:06. > :07:15.was at the Hawthorns. Salomon Rondon sculpt the only goal
:07:16. > :07:20.when the sides met on the opening day of the season at Selhurst Park.
:07:21. > :07:23.He leads the attack from an unchanged derby in 11 today.
:07:24. > :07:25.Christian Benteke does the same for Crystal Palace. Seven of his nine
:07:26. > :07:30.Premier League goals this season have come away from home. Sam
:07:31. > :07:34.Allardyce continues to try to lift Palace above the trapdoor, with Tony
:07:35. > :07:38.Pulis and West Brom already on 40 points and handily placed, eighth in
:07:39. > :07:52.the table. Both teams are unchanged this afternoon. Forward by Sako Webb
:07:53. > :07:54.Sakho. Benteke underneath it. Zaha and Dawson continued gradual. It's
:07:55. > :08:10.going to be a Crystal Palace throw. The flag stays down and Van Aanholt
:08:11. > :08:16.tries to drill it in and Crystal Palace have their first corner.
:08:17. > :08:19.Tomkins and Mamadou Sakho coming up for this one, joining a group of
:08:20. > :08:26.players huddled around the penalty spot at the moment. It comes,
:08:27. > :08:31.Benteke with a header, it's headed off the line by Brunt. The first
:08:32. > :08:38.real sighting of goal for Christian Benteke. Got up well, good header,
:08:39. > :08:43.but on the post. Able to clear the ball. Sunshine and showers, spring
:08:44. > :08:48.is around the corner, hurray. A springlike scene at the Hawthorns. I
:08:49. > :08:52.was about to say he is Zaha Matt Dawson was too quick for him. He's
:08:53. > :08:57.done really well. Salomon Rondon with a chance to run as Yohan Cabaye
:08:58. > :09:00.tries to get back with him and Rondon has brilliantly. No penalty.
:09:01. > :09:05.Cabaye gives Rondon an absolute earful, as the ball is cleared away.
:09:06. > :09:08.Mike Jones felt there wasn't a dive. From that angle it doesn't look like
:09:09. > :09:14.a penalty. Let's look here. If that's not a penalty and he wasn't
:09:15. > :09:24.fouled, why has he not been booked by the referee?
:09:25. > :09:32.Cabaye to Townsend, Nyom is right there with him. Possession here from
:09:33. > :09:37.Palace. That's not a new thing, it won't trouble West Bromwich Albion.
:09:38. > :09:39.Who haven't had the majority of possession in any much they've
:09:40. > :09:47.played in the Premier League all season. Forward by Cabaye, looking
:09:48. > :09:53.for Wilfried Zaha. Brings it down well and puts it away with aplomb. A
:09:54. > :09:58.cracking strike from Wilfried Zaha. West Bromwich Albion nil, Crystal
:09:59. > :10:02.Palace one. Big, big goal, potentially. Well Palace had had
:10:03. > :10:07.good possession. And finally, they made it count. The long ball floated
:10:08. > :10:11.forward, beautifully taken and controlled by Wilfried Zaha. It was
:10:12. > :10:16.Yohan Cabaye who picked up the bass, Zaha bringing it down, cutting
:10:17. > :10:21.inside the defence. He gets away from Chris Brunt here and slams the
:10:22. > :10:25.ball home, before Dawson can make the block and Palace are ahead.
:10:26. > :10:35.Wilfried Zaha with his fifth goal of the season. Livermore into Brunt.
:10:36. > :10:40.Chadli with the shot. There was body of time for Hennessey to see that
:10:41. > :10:44.one coming. -- there was plenty of time for Hennessey to see that one
:10:45. > :10:51.coming. And Zaha now skips away from Dawson. It's Wilfried Zaha for
:10:52. > :10:55.Crystal Palace. Almost going all the way through! He's challenged. He
:10:56. > :11:00.once a penalty. It is still with Palace and it's just wide. Puncheon
:11:01. > :11:06.can't put it in and it's the corner. A superb run from Wilfried Zaha,
:11:07. > :11:14.went down under pressure. No penalty and Bishop deflected wide. -- the
:11:15. > :11:18.shot deflected wide. Sliding it through, a great chance for Andros
:11:19. > :11:26.Townsend, a vital saves by Ben Foster. A big save. Benteke with the
:11:27. > :11:32.little lay off Conor Townsend racing through, denied by Ben Foster.
:11:33. > :11:36.There's been plenty of his barking at his team today. Palace have
:11:37. > :11:39.scored plenty of goals in the last ten minutes of matches this season,
:11:40. > :11:46.today, it's Albion who are looking to do so. Blocked by Puncheon. All
:11:47. > :11:52.hands on deck here for Palace. Leko can't get past Townsend. Well, a
:11:53. > :11:57.chance to break away as Townsend holds off the Albion youngster. He's
:11:58. > :12:01.done really well. Benteke gets on his bike and Townsend may take it
:12:02. > :12:06.all the way here for Palace. It's Andros Townsend. Oh, sensational
:12:07. > :12:11.goal! Brilliant, brilliant play! ROM Andros Townsend. He just kept going
:12:12. > :12:19.and going and going and West Bromwich Albion could do nothing
:12:20. > :12:23.about it. Just watch this. From one penalty area, to the other, Townsend
:12:24. > :12:27.did well to keep his feet here. He brushed off the West Bromwich Albion
:12:28. > :12:32.substitute. He had options, as you could see, but he didn't need any of
:12:33. > :12:35.them. It's only the second goal he's scored for Crystal Palace since his
:12:36. > :12:40.move from Tottenham Hotspur, but what a goal it was. Back-to-back
:12:41. > :12:45.wins for Crystal Palace. A 2-0 factory here at the Hawthorns to
:12:46. > :12:49.lift them out of the bottom three. A perfect awayday performance. We knew
:12:50. > :12:54.it would be difficult. The aim was to keep it 0- 01 the minimum we
:12:55. > :12:57.would get out of it was a point and if we could hit them on the counter
:12:58. > :13:00.it would be perfect. We followed that and we are delighted with the
:13:01. > :13:06.three points. There's no excuses today. We weren't at it from the
:13:07. > :13:10.start. Right the way through. Congratulations to Palace. But I'm
:13:11. > :13:14.not going to criticise the players. We've been fantastic so far this
:13:15. > :13:19.season. We've had an off day and it was a off day. We are just doing the
:13:20. > :13:21.basics right and when you start from the basics everything else just
:13:22. > :13:25.works out better, so that's what we've managed to nail down. Now we
:13:26. > :13:29.just have to get the wins and the points. To put back-to-back wins
:13:30. > :13:33.together at West Brom, who are in such good form here at the Hawthorns
:13:34. > :13:38.is a big statement and then the outstanding quality of the two
:13:39. > :13:43.goals, when Andros is an off on a mazy, this was a goal and it it
:13:44. > :13:47.deserves the credit it will get across the board this weekend.
:13:48. > :13:52.I'm sure we'll give it plenty of credit, Martin. A terrific win, a
:13:53. > :13:57.huge win for Crystal Palace and Townsend the stars of the show. This
:13:58. > :14:03.was a game of two sets of real men. Really good game, by the way. Zaha,
:14:04. > :14:07.can he get crosses in the box? Can he beat people? Does he make the
:14:08. > :14:11.right decisions? Yes, he did today, Townsend as well, with the balls in.
:14:12. > :14:15.They are the weapons Benteke is going to feed off of and they just
:14:16. > :14:19.seem to get better and better. Look at this for a touch, almost as if he
:14:20. > :14:23.puts it there with his hand. We couldn't really miss. A great
:14:24. > :14:26.strike, with his left foot as well. This is Townsend making good
:14:27. > :14:30.movement, good save from the goalkeepers, that denied him. He
:14:31. > :14:34.wants to get at people, Zaha. He's going to test you. He's going into
:14:35. > :14:38.the heart of the West Brom defence, asking questions, the keeper denied
:14:39. > :14:44.him again. Look at this from Andros Townsend. I think this is a player
:14:45. > :14:46.that went down with Newcastle last season and he's saying, I'm not
:14:47. > :14:52.going down again. I'm giving it everything. Leko rag dolls him like
:14:53. > :14:55.he's not there. McAuley wins to get on the left foot, he's still got the
:14:56. > :15:00.power to finish and that's great desire. Look at him, he's shattered,
:15:01. > :15:03.but he deserves the credit he gets. A tough run at the end of the
:15:04. > :15:11.season. A clean sheet as well. The statistics were stark
:15:12. > :15:16.for Middlesbrough going They'd slipped down the table
:15:17. > :15:20.after a run of nine matches without a win, having scored just
:15:21. > :15:26.three goals in that time. Glen Johnson back in the Stoke team
:15:27. > :15:28.today, making the 350th appearance of his league career. Peter Crouch
:15:29. > :15:32.is stuck's top scorer in all competitions this season, he scored
:15:33. > :15:38.against Middlesbrough last time he faced them all the way back in his
:15:39. > :15:41.Portsmouth days. Five substitute appearances in the Premier League
:15:42. > :15:44.for Middlesbrough since joining from Aston Villa in January, today Rudy
:15:45. > :15:56.Gestede is given his first league start for his new club. Johnson.
:15:57. > :16:01.Whelan. Ramadan. Nice touch from crouch. Lovely build-up. Arnautovic.
:16:02. > :16:08.And off the crossbar and then wide by Joe Allen. Delicate touch from
:16:09. > :16:13.Crouch. Plenty of pace on the whipped cross from Arnautovic.
:16:14. > :16:18.Ramathan will feel he should have finished off the move he started.
:16:19. > :16:25.Two thirds of the position in the opening half-hour or so here.
:16:26. > :16:30.Whelan. He made some good runs today. Good first touch, around the
:16:31. > :16:39.goalkeeper, and that is brilliant from Marko Arnautovic. How about
:16:40. > :16:43.this for a trapped in the penalty area to take the sting out of the
:16:44. > :16:49.ball and creates an space and to finish with aplomb for his fifth
:16:50. > :16:53.goal of the season? Middlesbrough have won fewer Premier League games
:16:54. > :17:00.than any other team this season, just four victories so far. Good
:17:01. > :17:03.control again by Marko Arnautovic, good vision to spot Joe Allen, and
:17:04. > :17:12.good recovery by George Friend to put it out for the corner. That is
:17:13. > :17:19.Stoke's first corner of the game. The delivery by Glenn Whelan. The
:17:20. > :17:27.header by Peter Crouch and its 2-0 to Stoke and two goals from Marko
:17:28. > :17:32.Arnautovic. Just over three minutes to go until half-time, and Stoke
:17:33. > :17:36.have now got themselves a cushion. You know what they are going to do
:17:37. > :17:43.but it's so difficult to stop them. Crouch's header and a smart swivel
:17:44. > :17:51.and finish from the Austrian. Pieters is the defender. The
:17:52. > :17:54.referee's assistant has flagged to say that Erik Pieters was fouling
:17:55. > :18:04.Adama Traore there, free kick to the visitors. Grant Leadbitter to take.
:18:05. > :18:08.That is a really good delivery and it hit Crouch and ends up in the net
:18:09. > :18:17.but the flag had been raised for offside. Ben Gibson thought that was
:18:18. > :18:25.his moment. It was Bernardo offside. Gibson wasn't but the decision had
:18:26. > :18:29.already been made. The famous Stoke custodian of the past, Gordan Banks
:18:30. > :18:35.here, part of the Stoke City squad that won the League Cup 45 years ago
:18:36. > :18:43.today and they have been down on the pitch earlier on being honoured.
:18:44. > :18:47.That was a good ball by Bernardo. Shawcross under pressure, Gestede to
:18:48. > :18:53.Guedioura. And always rising up and over the top. It's probably
:18:54. > :18:57.Middlesbrough's best chance of the second half. Difficult to hit the
:18:58. > :19:03.target from there from Guedioura. The Middlesbrough fans singing laced
:19:04. > :19:08.with irony that they've had a shot. It's been a disappointing game for
:19:09. > :19:13.Karanka's team. It could be about to get worse. Here is Cameron and a
:19:14. > :19:18.diving header by Ramadan, and a really top drawer save from Victor
:19:19. > :19:22.Valdes. Well, if he had ten chances to strike that ball Ramadan Sobhi
:19:23. > :19:26.would not have wanted to put the shot anywhere else but there. That
:19:27. > :19:30.is the most difficult position for the goalkeeper to get down to.
:19:31. > :19:35.Ramadan so close to his first-ever Stoke City goal.
:19:36. > :19:50.De Roon. Plenty up there but it too high for Gestede. Given away by
:19:51. > :19:55.Diouf Affellay. A bit of room here for Ramadan. He has Berahino ahead
:19:56. > :20:05.of him. It is a good strong run from the Egyptian. What's at the end of
:20:06. > :20:08.it? That's brilliant and Allen tried with the flick to finish it and what
:20:09. > :20:15.a goal that would have been after a storming drivel by Ramadan Sobhi.
:20:16. > :20:20.His reputation is growing all the time. There were so many changes of
:20:21. > :20:29.direction and so many swivels and Allen almost provided the perfect
:20:30. > :20:33.finish. Ramadan. Sparkling. He really is sparkling in his
:20:34. > :20:39.performance. Affellay, lovely first touch, and Victor Valdes, one former
:20:40. > :20:47.Barcelona player denies another, such has been stuck's dominance. 3-0
:20:48. > :20:51.would not flatter them, it has been disappointing from Middlesbrough.
:20:52. > :20:54.You have done well all season not to drop into the bottom three but
:20:55. > :21:00.today's the day you are the relegation zone. Yes, in this kind
:21:01. > :21:05.of moment we need to be positive and has recently promoted team, it's the
:21:06. > :21:10.first we are in that position in March. We have to know we have done
:21:11. > :21:13.a lot of good things so far, so we have to keep believing in this group
:21:14. > :21:20.of players, in this team, because until the last day we will keep
:21:21. > :21:24.fighting. Deserved lead in the first half, two goals from Marko
:21:25. > :21:28.Arnautovic and we really didn't command any sustained pressure
:21:29. > :21:32.throughout the game. With a bit more care in the final third we could
:21:33. > :21:37.have won more comprehensive labour we take 2-0. The performance and
:21:38. > :21:41.good result. It was a very good ball from Glenn Whelan and it was
:21:42. > :21:46.perfect, it was a good goal but I don't talk about my goals. I talk
:21:47. > :21:49.about the team, the effort and the performance was amazing. We have to
:21:50. > :21:54.keep doing like that, I say this always in every interview.
:21:55. > :21:58.Great reaction to Stoke's defeat last week and Arnautovic with a
:21:59. > :22:01.couple of vital goals for them. He is an impressive player, no doubt,
:22:02. > :22:05.but with only six goals he is a player that needs to be challenged
:22:06. > :22:09.because he has great ability, no doubt in wide positions where you
:22:10. > :22:13.often see him, he whips balls in, but I like him particularly in the
:22:14. > :22:17.central position. This is the goal, what a touch this is, defines the
:22:18. > :22:21.extra touch to find the back of the net and if he can work on that, be
:22:22. > :22:26.much tougher with himself foremost, we kept the week, Mark Hughes could
:22:27. > :22:30.work with him. Poacher's finish, and then he could go on to the next
:22:31. > :22:35.level. Mark Hughes must work hard and he was definitely in the mood
:22:36. > :22:39.today. Getting him up to boiling point is the challenge. It certainly
:22:40. > :22:44.was. We are just about out of time but Middlesbrough need to start
:22:45. > :22:47.scoring goals, that's for sure. Danny and Martin, thank you. Before
:22:48. > :22:55.we go let's look at the Premier League table.
:22:56. > :22:59.The top two didn't play on Saturday, so Chelsea remain ten
:23:00. > :23:01.points clear of Spurs. Liverpool have moved up to third,
:23:02. > :23:04.but Manchester City could reclaim that spot on Sunday.
:23:05. > :23:07.Arsenal drop out of the top four. At the bottom, Crystal Palace's
:23:08. > :23:08.second victory in a row means they have moved out
:23:09. > :23:10.of the relegation zone at Middlesbrough's expense.
:23:11. > :23:13.Leicester and Swansea have done their survival
:23:14. > :23:14.prospects a power of good, with wins that lift them five
:23:15. > :23:22.points clear of danger. Before we go let's have a quick look
:23:23. > :23:27.at the Sunday back pages, which are dominated by a couple of flash
:23:28. > :23:32.points in Manchester United's draw with Bournemouth, summed up by the
:23:33. > :23:37.Sunday Times. The Sun newspaper doesn't mince its words, while the
:23:38. > :23:39.Express reckons the players involved, is glad that Ibrahimovic
:23:40. > :23:41.and Tyrone Mings, could be in trouble with the FA.
:23:42. > :23:56.That's it, we're off to find a referee's stag do.
:23:57. > :23:59.Ibrahimovic and Tyrone Mings could be in trouble with the FA.
