:00:21. > :00:37.How about that? Just brilliant, just brilliant. That is wonderful. An
:00:38. > :00:54.absolute belter. What a turn, what a goal. Look at that, look at that.
:00:55. > :01:07.So, Tottenham's title hopes are all but over after last night's
:01:08. > :01:13.That's one of seven games coming up, with big moves
:01:14. > :01:29.Wayne Hennessey could not hold it. Raheem Sterling. A really good ball.
:01:30. > :01:38.I really did save. Jordon Ayew hits the post. The reaction save keeps
:01:39. > :01:46.Tottenham tip Bay. Almost the finish. Our field. It is a great
:01:47. > :01:48.block. Nicely done from Bournemouth and be shot is of the inside of the
:01:49. > :01:50.post. Danny Murphy and Kevin Kilbane
:01:51. > :01:52.are tonight's dynamic duo. Just the 742 Premier League
:01:53. > :01:55.appearances between them. Manchester City's pursuit of a top
:01:56. > :02:02.four finish continued against Crystal Palace,
:02:03. > :02:04.who started the day six points clear of the bottom three
:02:05. > :02:06.after back-to-back defeats. Your commentator at
:02:07. > :02:17.the Etihad, Steve Bower. The script for the final four game
:02:18. > :02:21.of Pep Guardiola's debut season was not written to be merely fighting
:02:22. > :02:25.for Champions League football but Manchester City's destiny for the
:02:26. > :02:30.top four finish is in their own hands but they will have noted
:02:31. > :02:34.Palace's recent record against the big boys. Guardiola is still the
:02:35. > :02:38.name an unchanged Premier League season -- team this season. Four
:02:39. > :02:42.changes today, they are without Sergio Aguero who is injured. They
:02:43. > :02:50.can welcome back David Silva. There are also recall is for Sterling and
:02:51. > :02:54.Toure. Jeff Schlupp has a start in central defence. Andros Townsend has
:02:55. > :03:06.been passed fit. You have to go back to 1994 the last
:03:07. > :03:16.time Crystal Palace one away at Manchester City. The returning David
:03:17. > :03:23.Silva. He has flooded that well. Sterling. He did not deal with it.
:03:24. > :03:28.Silva. It has taken them less than two minutes. David Silva, on his
:03:29. > :03:37.return, he Mark Sedwill his 50th goal for Man City. The little
:03:38. > :03:41.magician, sprinkling his magic again. It began with the bulky
:03:42. > :03:47.Sterling. Crystal Palace did not deal with it. A dreadful defensive
:03:48. > :03:56.header. Silva did the rest. Two minutes in, 1-0. Crystal Palace
:03:57. > :03:58.sitting very deep out of possession. It is hard work for Palace already,
:03:59. > :04:10.this. Silva has looked hungry on his
:04:11. > :04:16.return to the team. Gabriel Jesus. He took first time. Silva is pulling
:04:17. > :04:21.the strings. He has too much time and space. Seven home draws for
:04:22. > :04:31.Manchester City this season, to his frustration. Sane against Ward.
:04:32. > :04:38.Still Sane. Hennessey could not hold it. Sterling. It was cleared by van
:04:39. > :04:46.Aanholt. Desperation from Crystal Palace. He will not be sitting down
:04:47. > :04:55.too often today, the way this game has started. They have four on four.
:04:56. > :05:02.Beautifully weighted into Sane. It was kept out by Hennessey.
:05:03. > :05:04.Milivojevic able to bring it clear for Palace. They will be delighted
:05:05. > :05:19.to only be one down at the moment. They have a few more bodies forward,
:05:20. > :05:26.Crystal Palace. Townsend has managed to get it across. Benteke. Good
:05:27. > :05:33.save. This is McArthur. Puncheon over. Christian Benteke almost
:05:34. > :05:38.adding to his 14 league goals. The first real chance for Palace. A
:05:39. > :05:43.familiar route, the cross from Townsend, the towering header, but
:05:44. > :05:51.Caballero was equal to it. Palace have taken 21 points away from
:05:52. > :05:56.Selhurst Park. Can they change the scoreline? Zaha did well to stay on
:05:57. > :06:06.his feet. He is being chased by Fernandinho. Offside again, Zaha.
:06:07. > :06:14.Well played by Otamendi. It has come to van Aanholt. Suddenly, in the
:06:15. > :06:19.last five minutes, they are beginning to open the door, Crystal
:06:20. > :06:29.Palace. Van Aanholt did not have the composure required.
:06:30. > :06:40.Zaha has been the most danger to Manchester City. They have stopped
:06:41. > :06:44.him on this occasion. Toure. It did take a touch on the way through.
:06:45. > :06:53.Manchester City have the corner. De Bruyne. It has come back to the
:06:54. > :07:02.Belgian. Time to steady himself and pick out Kompany. What a strike from
:07:03. > :07:05.the Manchester City skipper. It has taken City a little over three
:07:06. > :07:10.minutes of the second half to increase their advantage. His fourth
:07:11. > :07:16.consecutive Premier League start, his second Premier League goal of
:07:17. > :07:22.the season. It was a centre forward's finish from Kompany, one
:07:23. > :07:25.Belgian to another. What about that? No chance for Hennessey. Drilled
:07:26. > :07:37.into the top corner from Vincent Kompany. Lovely from De Bruyne.
:07:38. > :07:53.Milivojevic with the foul. He knows what is coming next. De Bruyne beat
:07:54. > :07:58.him at all ends up. Toure and Sterling have been dismissed. It
:07:59. > :08:04.will either be Silva or De Bruyne. It is De Bruyne. That is not too far
:08:05. > :08:08.away. He has scored four Premier League goals this season, Kevin De
:08:09. > :08:13.Bruyne. It just clipped the top of the crossbar. Jason Puncheon, caught
:08:14. > :08:29.in possession. De Bruyne under pressure from
:08:30. > :08:34.Puncheon. They have only scored twice and it is just before the
:08:35. > :08:37.hour. They have looked so dangerous in this situation time and time
:08:38. > :08:44.again. Only they will know how they have not scored more.
:08:45. > :08:57.Good work from Jesus. De Bruyne, first time. He has his goal. Man
:08:58. > :09:03.City surely have the three points. 22 goals in 31 appearances. Kevin De
:09:04. > :09:12.Bruyne finds the back of the net. He has worked tirelessly all game.
:09:13. > :09:18.Hennessey finger to it but he could not keep it out. He was beaten by
:09:19. > :09:22.the power, steered in by De Bruyne. You would have to say that the
:09:23. > :09:30.scoreline reflects the hour of football we have seen. That was a
:09:31. > :09:40.good stop by McArthur. What a touch from Benteke. He has phone Zaha.
:09:41. > :09:51.Zaha lost his footing. The strike from Flamini was deflected.
:09:52. > :09:55.Caballero was able to keep it out. Crystal Palace cannot look forward
:09:56. > :10:00.to next season just yet. You have to go back to 2010 were assayed needed
:10:01. > :10:12.more than the 38 points they currently have to stay up. -- where
:10:13. > :10:25.a side needed more. Look at the space for Sterling. 4-0. Raheem
:10:26. > :10:31.Sterling's tenth goal of the season. Nobody tracked Zabaleta. Sterling
:10:32. > :10:44.had so much room, so much time to volley past Hennessey. 4-0.
:10:45. > :10:57.Sterling. Delaney knows a yellow card is coming. It has been men
:10:58. > :11:03.against boys at times. All Crystal Palace want to hear is the full-time
:11:04. > :11:11.whistle. De Bruyne, looking for the touch. There is the touch from
:11:12. > :11:17.Nicolas Otamendi. He scores just his second ever goal for Manchester
:11:18. > :11:26.City. That was in stoppage time, to make it 5-0. The delivery from De
:11:27. > :11:31.Bruyne and the Argentinian completing a miserable afternoon for
:11:32. > :11:34.Crystal Palace. It was a straightforward one for Manchester
:11:35. > :11:38.City. They have hit Palace for five. We deserved the victory, we did
:11:39. > :11:45.really well, especially in the second half, when we scored our
:11:46. > :11:50.chances. Use goals quickly. In the second half, Crystal Palace did not
:11:51. > :11:54.create any chances. The players did not apply themselves correctly for
:11:55. > :11:58.me by making sure they kept it tight. They felt they had to go
:11:59. > :12:02.forward and get a goal and by doing that you leave more spaces, and Man
:12:03. > :12:07.City will punish you. They did thoroughly in the end. We cannot
:12:08. > :12:12.complain about the score. We spoke about the mini league, the miniature
:12:13. > :12:16.lead, with three games at home. If we are able to win, we will be there
:12:17. > :12:23.but if not, we will not qualify for the Champions League. There are six
:12:24. > :12:27.strong teams fighting for position, there is no other competition in the
:12:28. > :12:31.world like this. It is in our hands by trying to beat Hull a week on
:12:32. > :12:36.Sunday. We have to have the nerve for that one. We will come to that
:12:37. > :12:40.later in the programme. A great performance from Manchester City.
:12:41. > :12:45.When they did, there are very good and a delight to watch. Sensational
:12:46. > :12:51.in terms of creativity. They put their attacking players out today.
:12:52. > :12:56.Palace, who have beaten Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool recently, they
:12:57. > :13:00.were struggling. So many injuries. Jeff Schlupp was at centre-half at
:13:01. > :13:06.the start of the game he was a winger. The formation hurt them at
:13:07. > :13:09.first. Sam recognise that and changed it. You can talk about
:13:10. > :13:14.formation but there were certain basics they did not go in the game.
:13:15. > :13:20.When you're up against the likes of someone like David Silva, he does
:13:21. > :13:24.punish you. He finds space, Kevin De Bruyne the same. In midfield, they
:13:25. > :13:32.had five at the back and then four. The changed. After two minutes,
:13:33. > :13:37.David Silva, who is against the Palace three, UCD Palace three and
:13:38. > :13:42.the City three. Someone has to stay with him. Communication, you can
:13:43. > :13:47.swap sometimes. Your team-mate says, I will have him. When Silva picks up
:13:48. > :13:52.the ball, they do not get to him quick enough. Watch what happens
:13:53. > :13:58.when he plays the pass. Off he goes. That is basics, following your
:13:59. > :14:03.runner. It was not a basic pass. It was fantastic, you were sensational.
:14:04. > :14:08.These are the three again. You can see the City three. You cannot give
:14:09. > :14:14.David Silva this space. It does not matter how many you have at the
:14:15. > :14:18.back, he will find a way. They will cause you problems with their
:14:19. > :14:23.willingness to run off the ball. I saw Sam talking about the formation
:14:24. > :14:28.being irrelevant. I agree. They are too stretched. They are trying to
:14:29. > :14:36.get back in the game, but you cannot be that open away at Man City.
:14:37. > :14:43.He's in the box again, five yards of space. It's too easy. You can't get
:14:44. > :14:47.a result. It's a completely different Palace than the one we
:14:48. > :14:51.have seen in recent weeks. Good position, the Palace lads here,
:14:52. > :14:56.three versus three. If you watch Silva where he ends up here, it's a
:14:57. > :15:01.good ball in, good ball out sorry, poor ball in but look where he is,
:15:02. > :15:04.ten, 15 yards. I don't understand for the life of me why one of the
:15:05. > :15:07.players didn't take responsibility on the pitch and say, look he's
:15:08. > :15:14.killing us. Someone just stand on him or at least put a tackle in and
:15:15. > :15:20.let him know we're here because I couldn't have that. Otamendi, he's
:15:21. > :15:24.had his fair share of criticism over his spell at Manchester City. Do you
:15:25. > :15:28.think he's actually been helped by the fact that Kompany's come back
:15:29. > :15:31.with his leadership and experience? That's probably one of the reasons.
:15:32. > :15:35.He was excel listen today in every department. You mentioned he's been
:15:36. > :15:40.criticised and I think that's been at times down to his positional
:15:41. > :15:46.sense. That's been found wanting. Today, the one thing I liked about
:15:47. > :15:50.him, early on in the game, he sees Benteke over his shoulder, it's just
:15:51. > :15:54.a basic clearance but just doing the basic things right is what he did
:15:55. > :15:58.today. That tackle has to be perfect because he knows he's risking a
:15:59. > :16:03.yellow and he does time it to perfection. When he's covering
:16:04. > :16:07.Kompany, so often he's maybe not timed the challenges correctly and
:16:08. > :16:15.he's got himself back into position poorly, sees the run from Zaha, it's
:16:16. > :16:17.a brilliantly timed tackle, this clearance is sensational, getting
:16:18. > :16:22.himself back goal side and he has to make that challenge. Another one
:16:23. > :16:26.here on Benteke, timed to perfection, then he has that
:16:27. > :16:31.calmness about the game. Calmness and prepared to play it to his
:16:32. > :16:34.team-mate. The goal's quite basic, simple ball played into an area but
:16:35. > :16:39.he deserved the first goal of the season getting across his man, flick
:16:40. > :16:44.on the header and it was a brilliant performance from Otamendi today.
:16:45. > :16:46.He's been criticised so often. Excellent Manchester City
:16:47. > :16:47.performance, pretty much guarantees Champions League I would have
:16:48. > :16:51.thought? Definitely. Indeed. With Swansea playing
:16:52. > :16:54.Everton in the late game, Hull kicked off against relegated
:16:55. > :16:57.Sunderland knowing they had a real opportunity to pile the pressure
:16:58. > :17:09.on their main rivals for the drop. Relegated by David Moyes says he
:17:10. > :17:18.wants to stay as Sunderland's manager. Marco Silva is still wanted
:17:19. > :17:22.by his team. Hernandez comes back in. The Uruguayan striker's only
:17:23. > :17:27.scored one goal in his last 14 apersons, one more now could make
:17:28. > :17:30.all the difference. It's likely to be a very different looking
:17:31. > :17:34.Sunderland side in the Championship next season and perhaps with a nod
:17:35. > :17:37.to that, 22-year-old George Honeyman gets only his second Premier League
:17:38. > :17:41.start here and his eighth senior game.
:17:42. > :17:46.Hull City really have to get themselves going right from the
:17:47. > :17:53.start, three games to go, three huge finals for the Tigers. Billy Jones
:17:54. > :17:58.coming forward now. Plenty of time and space. Good clip into the
:17:59. > :18:01.middle. Headed wide by Honeyman. Really good chance for him.
:18:02. > :18:06.Sunderland very casually covered the ground to get themselves forward.
:18:07. > :18:10.Honeyman met the cross at the right time with the wrong direction. David
:18:11. > :18:14.Moyes' team have their one and only chance of a double in the Premier
:18:15. > :18:20.League this season today having beaten Hull 3-0 at the Stadium of
:18:21. > :18:24.Light in November. Grosicki. Borini's getting the treatment this
:18:25. > :18:29.time. Another good ball in. It's come for Clucas. Super save
:18:30. > :18:36.Pickford. We have seen those sorts of reactions from him all season
:18:37. > :18:40.long. This is there'll be plenty of interest from Premier League clubs
:18:41. > :18:45.to keep Jordan Pickford at the top level over the next few months. Good
:18:46. > :18:50.to see Ryan Mason in attendance at the KCOM today. The midfielder who
:18:51. > :18:54.fractured his skull at Chelsea in January and he's on the mend and
:18:55. > :19:01.should be wearing a black and amber shirt again next season. Grosicki.
:19:02. > :19:12.Ndong across to try and stop the ball coming in. Robertson. Markovic.
:19:13. > :19:16.Niasse goes for the spectacular. O'Shea stopped it. Hull fans shouted
:19:17. > :19:21.handball. O'Shea appeared for dangerous play with the boot high.
:19:22. > :19:27.You could see very quickly what Niasse intended to do. O'Shea, yes,
:19:28. > :19:32.he's right next to him, so approximate imcity an issue. You can
:19:33. > :19:43.see he puts his elbow up to stop the ball. Appeals for a knock. Niasse.
:19:44. > :19:48.Hernandez. Grosicki calls for it. Hernandez goes on his merry way
:19:49. > :19:53.alone. That was not far away at all. It had Pickford flying through the
:19:54. > :19:57.air and nearly had Hull hands in the air celebrating the crucial first
:19:58. > :20:03.goal of the game. Just needed a notch off the power and added to the
:20:04. > :20:06.bend. Hull City are the only side not to have scored against
:20:07. > :20:18.Sunderland in the Premier League this season. They must remedy that
:20:19. > :20:22.today. That was a worry for Hull, the way Sunderland easily got behind
:20:23. > :20:26.them. It's Sunderland's best opportunity of the game since the
:20:27. > :20:36.early stages when Honeyman headed wide.
:20:37. > :20:55.Cross towards Markovic. Missed by Pickford. It was also missed by
:20:56. > :21:04.N'Diaye. Making a mess of that. Elmohamady. Really good ball. Really
:21:05. > :21:07.good save! Markovic with the header. Looked like being 1-0 Hull then
:21:08. > :21:11.Jordan Pickford came to Sunderland's rescue again. Relegated last
:21:12. > :21:15.weekend, you wonder it might have been some weeks ago had he not
:21:16. > :21:27.performed as he has most of the season. Hull City supporters trying
:21:28. > :21:30.to do their bit. Ndong. Jones. Borini stayed out of the box here
:21:31. > :21:39.Ndong is in there. Sunderland corner. Cheered enthusiastically by
:21:40. > :21:45.the travelling supporters. Honeyman's corner. Flicked across by
:21:46. > :21:51.O'Shea. And headed in by Billy Jones. Relegated Sunderland take the
:21:52. > :21:56.lead at relegation-threatened Hull. They might be going down with them.
:21:57. > :22:01.O'Shea made the run. Nobody went with him. It's flicked on
:22:02. > :22:07.beautifully. And Billy Jones timed his header perfectly into the corner
:22:08. > :22:08.of the goal. Delight for the visiting supporters but you could
:22:09. > :22:14.have heard a pin drop elsewhere. What is going through Marco Silva's
:22:15. > :22:20.mind now? Niasse. Clucas is on to it now.
:22:21. > :22:42.Robertson. Niasse. He had to lash at it. Never in full
:22:43. > :22:48.control of the shot. Hull City losing this must-win game to a
:22:49. > :22:54.Sunderland team already down, a team that's gone ten games without a win
:22:55. > :23:03.anywhere. Maguire. Niasse. Hernandez. Beaten behind by Jordan
:23:04. > :23:08.Pickford. It's hit as sweetly as you like by Hernandez. Big, strong hand
:23:09. > :23:17.keeps Hull out. Over towards Maguire. Maguire will battle again.
:23:18. > :23:21.Maguire thinks he's being held off it unfairly. Just a goal kick.
:23:22. > :23:24.Maguire's using his body. And the verdict is that he was backing into
:23:25. > :23:34.Kone. That may be right. A bit of heart and fight has gone
:23:35. > :23:38.out of the Hull supporters, it's very quiet. Borini. Free kick
:23:39. > :23:47.Sunderland. Borini brought down Biharry Maguire.
:23:48. > :23:53.Larsson will take the free kick in his own good time. Almost got nobody
:23:54. > :24:00.to aim for in the box. Defoe is there. And Defoe's bundled it in!
:24:01. > :24:05.The flag stays down. And that might be the goal that ultimately takes
:24:06. > :24:09.Hull down with Sunderland. Because there's no coming back from this
:24:10. > :24:14.today. They've got two games now to save themselves. And there is a big
:24:15. > :24:20.hint of off side. It's whether Maguire over on the left nearest the
:24:21. > :24:30.touch line was playing Defoe on. Vest a very, very tight decision but
:24:31. > :24:37.Defoe able to slot it in. What a huge result at the bottom end of the
:24:38. > :24:40.Premier League. Performances in the last month have merited much more
:24:41. > :24:43.when we've not got the results. We have played much better football. We
:24:44. > :24:49.have perhaps not created enough opportunities. There's been lapses
:24:50. > :24:53.and goals given away. Today we played much better and again, this
:24:54. > :24:57.time we've got a couple of chances and we took them. We need to get
:24:58. > :25:00.momentum going into next season. It's great to get that win to start
:25:01. > :25:05.with, obviously with the next few games coming up. We hope to
:25:06. > :25:07.replicate this performance for the remainder of the season and take
:25:08. > :25:14.that into the Championship next year. We need to be calm in some
:25:15. > :25:21.moments to put our team more comfortable into the games. We
:25:22. > :25:25.started to lose our focus, like in the second half. We conceded two
:25:26. > :25:31.from set pieces. Of course that's a problem. The changing room's dying
:25:32. > :25:37.and everyone's not happy with their own performances and the final
:25:38. > :25:42.result. -- the changing room's down. Sometimes it works against you
:25:43. > :25:50.against a team that have just been relegated as they have no pressure.
:25:51. > :25:56.We have two more games and we need to fight to work to win the next two
:25:57. > :26:00.games. With Sunderland already down and Hull such a good strong home
:26:01. > :26:05.record, who saw that one coming, what went wrong? Today was all about
:26:06. > :26:10.Hull how they were going to go and penetrate Sunderland and hurt them.
:26:11. > :26:13.I think they were lacking. Marco Silva spoke about a lack of
:26:14. > :26:19.composure and work ethic today. I don't think they showed any desire
:26:20. > :26:23.to go and hurt Sunderland. Hernandez here - can he make Robertson's mind
:26:24. > :26:26.up for him - no, he doesn't. This was the continuing scene throughout
:26:27. > :26:31.the first half. They had a lot of possession. Credit Sunderland, they
:26:32. > :26:36.closed down, worked extremely hard. But there was no cutting edge at all
:26:37. > :26:38.from Hull. This was how Hull played throughout that first half keeping
:26:39. > :26:41.the ball well but no real cutting edge. I think it was quite
:26:42. > :26:46.comfortable for Sunderland with the shape of the side they had. When
:26:47. > :26:50.they got into wide areas, it was down the left they caused problems
:26:51. > :26:55.with Robertson and Grosicki. The final ball let them down. Robertson
:26:56. > :27:01.here in acres of space. Poor ball into the box. That was the theme
:27:02. > :27:06.throughout. This was such a poor goal to concede. They lined up
:27:07. > :27:11.zonally. Defoe on his own at the near post. Telemen at the front
:27:12. > :27:16.post. No man on the back post to see it through if it goes into that
:27:17. > :27:21.area. The four lined up along that six yard box or just outside, nobody
:27:22. > :27:26.picking up the run of Billy Jones and he just walks into the area. The
:27:27. > :27:30.two on the edge there as well, they are supposed to be blocking
:27:31. > :27:38.Hernandez but Billy Jones runs off into an area, where's the body shape
:27:39. > :27:42.on the City players, Tom Huddlestone and Ranocchia are in position there.
:27:43. > :27:48.He doesn't do anything there and it's such an easy goal. Credit John
:27:49. > :27:52.O'Shea for getting across. That man at the far post could prevent that
:27:53. > :27:58.as well. Poor goal for Hull to concede. Another back post advocate.
:27:59. > :28:01.A lot of goals from corners. More than anybody else in the division
:28:02. > :28:05.Gary, it's incredible. You can see why. He's probably changed it round
:28:06. > :28:09.and gone zonally but it doesn't work. Could Hull have had a couple
:28:10. > :28:16.of penalties or one at least maybe? Yes. I think they'll feel aggrieved
:28:17. > :28:20.with the first one. We see Niasse. Very close to the ball. What I would
:28:21. > :28:24.say here, you can't put your arm up and try and block it. For me it's a
:28:25. > :28:32.free kick for Sunderland for the high foot. If O'Shea goes at it, he
:28:33. > :28:36.takes his head off with that. Maybe they could have had one there. This
:28:37. > :28:42.is never a penalty. He does the classic centre forward thing here.
:28:43. > :28:47.Maguire's got his left arm wrapped around Kone. He falls into him.
:28:48. > :28:53.Really good decision from the referee. That one is never one but
:28:54. > :28:55.the first maybe. Good professional effort from Sunderland though
:28:56. > :28:56.considering they went down last week.
:28:57. > :28:59.So Hull's result meant that Swansea would move out of the relegation
:29:00. > :29:02.zone with victory over Everton, who'd not lost a league game
:29:03. > :29:11.Steve Wilson was at the Liberty Stadium.
:29:12. > :29:20.It would be simply impossible to be at the Liberty Stadium today and not
:29:21. > :29:26.to know that Hull have lost. The excitement is intense, but not
:29:27. > :29:29.necessarily liberating. Swansea link to their Icelandic talisman Gylfi
:29:30. > :29:35.Sigurdsson who has either scored or assisted more than 50% of their 40
:29:36. > :29:38.Premier League goals this season. Everton's Ashley Williams returns to
:29:39. > :29:43.the club where he spent eight seasons and played over 350 games.
:29:44. > :29:50.He is promising no favours for his former team-mates today. Everton
:29:51. > :29:54.have not won away since January. If ever a team has three full-time
:29:55. > :30:04.managers during a course of this season and then stays up, that would
:30:05. > :30:10.be a first. Sigurdsson was looking for a foul by Gareth Barry. I do
:30:11. > :30:17.think he was looking for it. Swansea appeal, of course. They play on with
:30:18. > :30:19.Naughton. Jordan Ayew, trying to go around Gareth Barry. Good feet. In
:30:20. > :30:35.towards Llorente. That is massive for Swansea.
:30:36. > :30:39.Fernando Llorente with the goal. It could be the goal that sees a
:30:40. > :30:47.seismic shift at the bottom of the Premier League. Jordan Ayew did
:30:48. > :30:57.really well. Gareth Barry is no mug. Llorente, two yards out. He simply
:30:58. > :31:08.overpowered Jagielka. Not the cleanest contact, but not many are
:31:09. > :31:12.worried about dad. 1-0 Swansea. They will feel that today I don't have
:31:13. > :31:22.opportunity has opened up for them. They might be walking through it. A
:31:23. > :31:26.corner kick for Swansea. They have their noses in front. They would
:31:27. > :31:28.love a second. In it goes by Sigurdsson. It was out by
:31:29. > :31:44.Calvert-Lewin. Llorente lost it. What a stop. Alfie
:31:45. > :31:46.Mawson, right in front of goal. Holgate lunged in the way. Brilliant
:31:47. > :32:00.defending by Holgate. Martin Olsson, curling interestingly
:32:01. > :32:06.towards Sigurdsson. Ki Sung-Yueng, three in the middle for Swansea.
:32:07. > :32:12.Mawson. Jordan Ayew hit the post. That could have been his moment, it
:32:13. > :32:20.could been Swansea's moment. It came in with real from Ki Sung-Yueng.
:32:21. > :32:29.Jordan Ayew just hit across it a little bit. Such a difference in the
:32:30. > :32:34.playing careers of the two managers. One at Ajax, PSP, and Barcelona on
:32:35. > :32:42.his CV, the other, Corinthian casuals and Banstead athletic.
:32:43. > :32:56.That was a good strike by Lukaku. It was straight at Fabianski. It was a
:32:57. > :33:01.comfortable save for the Swansea goalkeeper. Llorente was having his
:33:02. > :33:07.shirt pulled by Baines. They did not bother him. He has found Sigurdsson.
:33:08. > :33:12.He has won a corner. A great ovation for Gylfi Sigurdsson as he comes
:33:13. > :33:18.over to take the corner kick. Midway through the second half, 1-0
:33:19. > :33:26.Swansea. The free header, deflected. It could have easily gone in.
:33:27. > :33:32.Federico Fernandes made a great contact and it just hit Barkley. The
:33:33. > :33:38.corner from Sigurdsson again. Llorente. A good save by
:33:39. > :33:45.Stekelenburg. He found lots of space. Far too much from Everton's
:33:46. > :33:52.point of view. A good first touch by Llorente. If he had found Ayew, it
:33:53. > :33:57.would have been brilliant. He has phoned Sigurdsson. Ayew practised
:33:58. > :34:04.the onside. They might be end. Five in that attack. Leroy Fer. A
:34:05. > :34:07.brilliant save by Stekelenburg. So close yet again, Swansea. On several
:34:08. > :34:13.occasions they have been within a whisker of doubling their lead. It
:34:14. > :34:21.is a great ball, and Fer mated beautifully. I am sure Swansea will
:34:22. > :34:28.feel they have done enough to have got the second goal which would
:34:29. > :34:33.settle them. Barkley has scented spinning away to Lukaku. That is the
:34:34. > :34:39.side netting from the area. That is a huge relief to the home side. We
:34:40. > :34:49.have seen him spank these into the back of the net a few times. His
:34:50. > :34:55.team are dangling on the thin dividing line between pleasure and
:34:56. > :34:58.pain for Paul Clement. Kenny -- Leighton Baines is fouled by
:34:59. > :35:05.Llorente. There has not been a yellow card yet in this game but
:35:06. > :35:10.Llorente must be getting close. The ball from Barkley, dangerous. Ashley
:35:11. > :35:13.Williams running in behind. Any touch from the former Swansea man
:35:14. > :35:16.would have taken it in. It nearly went in any way from Mirallas.
:35:17. > :35:32.Williams was close. Ayew, behind for another corner.
:35:33. > :35:39.What he intended. It is agony. The Konate comes in. Leroy Fer, it is
:35:40. > :35:46.more up than out. That will do for seconds.
:35:47. > :35:54.Lukaku, looking to turn. Mawson did brilliantly. He could have easily
:35:55. > :35:59.put that into his own net. Alfie Mawson has been fantastic today.
:36:00. > :36:04.Three minutes when indicated, three minutes have been played. The
:36:05. > :36:10.cameras man in the Liberty Stadium strolls nonchalantly around his
:36:11. > :36:14.technical area. Sigurdsson, still Sigurdsson. The referee blew the
:36:15. > :36:25.whistle to his legs and Swansea have saved being back in their own hands.
:36:26. > :36:30.-- have safety back in their own. Their fate is a run to decide. It
:36:31. > :36:35.may be a massive day for Swansea. I told the players before we went out,
:36:36. > :36:40.play with your hearts, give it everything you can, but play
:36:41. > :36:43.intelligently. The last thing I said was when the first half. At
:36:44. > :36:48.half-time we can talk about things we might need to do better, tactical
:36:49. > :36:53.changes. They did that. The second half was tough at times. They took
:36:54. > :36:58.the ball and created lots of chances but the team defended brilliantly.
:36:59. > :37:03.The difference was one goal. They had some good possibilities to score
:37:04. > :37:11.the second. We also had some chances to score at 1-1. Maybe the way they
:37:12. > :37:16.were defending for their lives made the difference today. It was
:37:17. > :37:20.extremely tense for 90 minutes. Have you experienced anything like that
:37:21. > :37:24.before? It was always going to be like that. We had to embrace that.
:37:25. > :37:30.The atmosphere was fantastic, the fans were massive again. That is why
:37:31. > :37:34.we are paying for 3000 to come up next week because we need all the
:37:35. > :37:37.support we can get. Through the trenches, with us. There is no
:37:38. > :37:41.better feeling knowing that we have a clean sheet in the points. What a
:37:42. > :37:46.victory. A big turnaround at the bottom. As much as Hull got it
:37:47. > :37:52.wrong, Swansea got it right. What was the secret to the success? Hard
:37:53. > :37:54.work, discipline, organisation, determination. I have played in
:37:55. > :38:15.games like this were you have got to win. They set up as a
:38:16. > :38:17.diamond, like last week, and got a good result. It takes discipline to
:38:18. > :38:20.play like that, the strikers have to work hard. Sigurdsson is their most
:38:21. > :38:22.creative player. He worked as hard as any man. The back four were in a
:38:23. > :38:25.good position, tight and narrow. Alfie Mawson was fantastic. He does
:38:26. > :38:28.not panic. Carroll is in there as well. All putting in a shift. It
:38:29. > :38:33.sounds basic but it does not always happen. They are talking. It was
:38:34. > :38:37.scrappy, they were not brilliant today, Swansea, but Everton were
:38:38. > :38:44.very bad. I do not know what they were doing at times, technically.
:38:45. > :38:47.Look at the numbers they have got in good areas. You have probably not
:38:48. > :38:53.played in a game like this at the bottom. Believe me, I have. Way
:38:54. > :39:01.back. Black-and-white televisions. Anyway, Sigurdsson, patient. That
:39:02. > :39:06.could have gone in his own net. How many times do we see a defender dive
:39:07. > :39:11.in and give a penalty away? A good decision, he does not dive in.
:39:12. > :39:15.Super, in terms of the defensive display, as good as I have seen
:39:16. > :39:19.them. Look at this from Everton in the first half. Kevin and I could
:39:20. > :39:25.not work out what they were trying to do. Olsson was getting away down
:39:26. > :39:31.the left. It was a lopsided 4-2 but no one on the right. It was bizarre.
:39:32. > :39:37.In the second half, they picked up, but really bad from Everton. Well
:39:38. > :39:41.played, Swansea. Considering the Hull result, fantastic. Let's look
:39:42. > :39:44.not only at the points they have got, but the games that are
:39:45. > :39:50.remaining. How do you see a panning out. I have played in a few of
:39:51. > :39:54.these. Palace one points from safety. Palace get the point and you
:39:55. > :39:58.can break Middlesbrough out of it. The game next week against Hull,
:39:59. > :40:03.Crystal Palace and Hull, will Sam Allardyce looked to do a job and get
:40:04. > :40:07.the draw. You can see in setting up more defensive minded. Swansea at
:40:08. > :40:13.Sunderland next week, I can see them getting a good result next week. I
:40:14. > :40:17.think Swansea and in the driving seat. Do you concur? I think it will
:40:18. > :40:20.go to the last day. Playing with freedom like Sunderland bid, the
:40:21. > :40:23.last day, you never know, it could go all the way.
:40:24. > :40:46.It's Goal Of The Month time on Match Of The Day 2.
:40:47. > :40:54.Some belt was there. -- some belters there.
:40:55. > :40:56.There's commentary of Arsenal versus Manchester United
:40:57. > :40:58.on 5Live and the BBC Sport website from 4:00pm.
:40:59. > :41:00.Reading take on Manchester City in the Women's Super
:41:01. > :41:02.League Spring Series, that's live on the Red Button
:41:03. > :41:13.And the Women's FA Cup final takes place next Saturday,
:41:14. > :41:41.-- is Michael Owen. Within 15 minutes of his arrival as a
:41:42. > :41:42.substitute, the 17-year-old gives Liverpool some hope. Years ago, the
:41:43. > :41:44.first of many. With Chelsea not playing
:41:45. > :41:47.Middlesbrough until Monday, Spurs were chasing a tenth straight
:41:48. > :41:50.win to move within a Jonathan Pearce was at
:41:51. > :42:02.the London Stadium. COMMENTATOR: On the back of just one
:42:03. > :42:10.win in 11 games, Slaven Bilic brings back Captain Mainwaring noble and
:42:11. > :42:13.much-needed pace in Aaron Cresswell. Harry Kane has scored five in his
:42:14. > :42:19.last five league games against West Ham and 18 in his last 20 London
:42:20. > :42:22.derbies and all. One change for Spurs, Kyle Walker replaces Kieran
:42:23. > :42:25.Trippier having been dropped to the bench against Arsenal last weekend.
:42:26. > :42:31.Given their superior goal difference, appoint the night should
:42:32. > :42:36.ensure a top two plays, but Spurs must win tonight to keep alive title
:42:37. > :42:38.hopes. Tottenham looking for 24th league victory in a single season
:42:39. > :43:01.for the first time 50 years. It is switched. It is a good switch.
:43:02. > :43:06.Lanzini is in. Was he caught in two minds? Was that across seeking
:43:07. > :43:13.Calleri or was he going for gold? I think he has gone for goal. That was
:43:14. > :43:23.a good run by Son. Runners either side. Kane goes for goal. Adrian.
:43:24. > :43:30.The reaction save keeps Tottenham at bay. That is the best we have seen
:43:31. > :43:37.from Spurs. From back to front. A lovely run by Son. Power behind the
:43:38. > :43:49.shot. Not good goalkeeping. He got lucky. He started with his big leg.
:43:50. > :43:56.He just got back in time. Logically nor has an eye on 53% win rate at
:43:57. > :44:03.Spurs. -- Mauricio Pochettino has a 53% win rate. Hugo Lloris make
:44:04. > :44:09.contact. The trip from Kouyate is woeful. Anthony Taylor is unmoved by
:44:10. > :44:22.the protest from West Ham. Did he get the ball? Ali on the ball. He
:44:23. > :44:31.got the ball. -- eye on the ball. West Ham have really made Spurs work
:44:32. > :44:36.hard. The clock is ticking. Son. That is a good run. Lanzini was
:44:37. > :44:42.sleeping. Adrian can make the save comfortably. That is a good
:44:43. > :44:45.opportunities spurned by Spurs. This was the man who won it at Crystal
:44:46. > :44:49.Palace recently and he could have won it again they are. Appoint will
:44:50. > :44:53.not be enough for the title race. Tottenham need a goal.
:44:54. > :45:07.Son. Collins. Walker. Good save. Big strong hands.
:45:08. > :45:13.The moment Spurs picked it out from the West Ham possession it looked
:45:14. > :45:21.dangerous. Collins went with the run of that. That's a good save.
:45:22. > :45:32.West Ham well drilled as the back five. Landsny's been a danger on the
:45:33. > :45:43.counter. Here is Cresswell. -- Lanzini. Here is Lanzini! West Ham
:45:44. > :45:48.score. Is that the moment Spurs' title challenge dies? This is a game
:45:49. > :45:55.that Tottenham must win. Pochettino knows Chelsea are watching. And he
:45:56. > :45:59.knows that they can ill afford this. Lanzini with a lovely weighted pass.
:46:00. > :46:07.Cresswell did well with a second cross in. Back in it came. Ayoue
:46:08. > :46:12.couldn't finish but Lanzini could. Spurs appeal for a handball. Came
:46:13. > :46:16.off the chest. Good decision, came off the chest. West Ham 1-0
:46:17. > :46:24.Tottenham. The faces tell the story. Spurs at the moment look like a team
:46:25. > :46:45.that fears the worst. Oh, and Lloris may have just kept
:46:46. > :46:49.Spurs in the title race. Why are they playing so deep? Just outside
:46:50. > :46:51.the six yard area in a London Derby, are you sure? ! Top naff
:46:52. > :47:10.goalkeeping! Trying to force it -- top notch
:47:11. > :47:16.goalkeeping. It was veering and spinning and scorching through the
:47:17. > :47:24.air. The sounds of time are ticking away on another title challenge from
:47:25. > :47:31.Tottenham. Deli Ali, Dembele, West Ham win it back. Fletcher. Snodgrass
:47:32. > :47:36.to his left. Will Fletcher play him in? He does.d? Fast back to
:47:37. > :47:42.Fletcher. Fletcher beats the keeper. But it goes wide. As it goes wide,
:47:43. > :47:47.Tottenham's title chance surely goes as well. West Ham are safe for
:47:48. > :47:51.another season. Is this the night the new stadium found a team?
:47:52. > :48:00.Chelsea cannot twin title this weekend but tonight Tottenham have
:48:01. > :48:03.surely lost it. 1-0. At the end of the game there were some sad faces
:48:04. > :48:13.there. Can you put into words what the mood is in the derision room?
:48:14. > :48:20.That is what we said. But feelings and face, it wasn't the best if you
:48:21. > :48:23.compare with last week. It's a big difference to last week.
:48:24. > :48:33.Disappointing. We knew it was going to be tough. We managed to bring it
:48:34. > :48:38.back. Yes, after today, it's nearly impossible now, but, you know, we'll
:48:39. > :48:42.give everything for the last three games now no matter what. A long
:48:43. > :48:53.time in football and nothing can surprise you in football. But what
:48:54. > :48:59.we know is that we had so many obstacles. Pre-season was
:49:00. > :49:08.unbelievable so I praise the players at the end of the day. It's not
:49:09. > :49:13.over. It's true that it will be difficult but if you want to put
:49:14. > :49:19.pressure on, you should be winning. It wasn't the case now and now we
:49:20. > :49:23.have to wait. Thinking that it will be difficult to catch Chelsea
:49:24. > :49:30.though. It's not over but it is over really. Lanzini's done for Tottenham
:49:31. > :49:34.in the terms of the title race And I think it's nine in 14 London Derbies
:49:35. > :49:40.he's scored. And he was outstanding as well. He was the key player on
:49:41. > :49:43.the night. West Ham were excellent defensively but when they were
:49:44. > :49:47.getting out and causing problems invariably it was coming through
:49:48. > :49:51.Lanzini. Tottenham at times created their own downfalls. Lanzini should
:49:52. > :49:55.do better and should be squaring that across the box. I think he was
:49:56. > :50:00.quick to spot when Walker was out of position. That left hand channel was
:50:01. > :50:04.where he exploited it at times and Tottenham couldn't deal with him. He
:50:05. > :50:07.got into positions, collecting the ball from defence, a key link
:50:08. > :50:11.between defence and attack, got them on the front foot. He got his
:50:12. > :50:17.rewards for the goal. It was good play down the left from Cresswell.
:50:18. > :50:21.He runs off defenders, gets himself into an area, runs between the goals
:50:22. > :50:30.and it was a great finish from him in the end. He gambled into an area.
:50:31. > :50:35.Got his reward. Yes, he's got a lot better in responsibility since
:50:36. > :50:38.Payet's left. It is. He looks like plain sailing for Chelsea, they can
:50:39. > :50:43.win it obviously in the next few days. Where do you see Tottenham
:50:44. > :50:45.now? Have you seen any particular progress this season from last
:50:46. > :50:49.season? It's a similar scenario at the end of it? No, they are better.
:50:50. > :50:54.They should be second rather than third I would think. Yes, seven
:50:55. > :50:59.points, still nine to play for. I think every one of them's improved.

:51:58. > :52:14.Mahrez scored in the last two meetings.
:52:15. > :52:25.Clearance by Mariappa, lucky it fell to Cleverley. Capoue. Dreadful pass
:52:26. > :52:29.collected by Mahrez. It wasn't a great passage of play there, ending
:52:30. > :52:33.with a poor challenge from Cleverley.
:52:34. > :52:41.Mahrez. Nicely done. Oh, it smacks the post and bounces away. A lucky
:52:42. > :52:50.escape for Watford. Free kick slid into the box. It was
:52:51. > :52:55.almost an own goal off Mariappa I think racing in.
:52:56. > :53:09.Deflected in as it came into the penalty area. And Gomes with the
:53:10. > :53:27.full stretch save. Janmaat. Faced by Simpson. Flick off
:53:28. > :53:34.Deeney. Good save by Schmeicheal and the flag's gone up. Schmeicheal was
:53:35. > :53:38.equal to him. Still looking for his first goal since returning to the
:53:39. > :53:45.club from being on loan to Everton. Simpson. Mahrez.
:53:46. > :53:58.Not a great place to concede a free kick. No doubt about it. Looked as
:53:59. > :54:00.if he had his arms all around him. Mahrez and it comes off the wall
:54:01. > :54:17.behind for a corner. The defence does its job.
:54:18. > :54:26.Drinkwater. Deeney. 1-0 Leicester City! Deeney in the right place as
:54:27. > :54:31.the ball drops -- Ndidi. He buried the chance. Ndidi's mid season
:54:32. > :54:37.arrival. His second goal in the Premier League. Here it is again.
:54:38. > :54:45.The ball just dropped to him. Drinkwater floating that one in and

:55:22. > :55:22.twisting and turning and the deflection looping over Gomes and
:55:23. > :55:41.almost into the back of the net. Mariappa in real trouble. As Mahrez
:55:42. > :55:47.comes in. 2-0 Leicester City. Mahrez two scored against Watford on each
:55:48. > :55:52.of the last three times he's faced them, celebrating his 100th Premier
:55:53. > :55:57.League appearance with a goal. Mariappa stretched for the ball.
:55:58. > :56:02.Just skimmed off his boot, left the door ajar and Riyadh Mahrez was in

:56:56. > :57:14.best out of Schmeicheal. Blue shirts swarming all around.
:57:15. > :57:19.Vardy and Slimani against Mariappa. Cleverley's goal side. They haven't
:57:20. > :57:22.picked up Albrighton. It's 3-0 and it's the finishing touch on an
:57:23. > :57:34.excellent afternoon for Leicester City. Deep in added time. Lovely
:57:35. > :57:39.goal. Vardy trying to look up. Picking out Albrighton in space in
:57:40. > :57:43.off the near post and Leicester finishing off the afternoon in
:57:44. > :57:47.style. A tense home win of the season for them -- tenth win of the
:57:48. > :57:54.season for them. They are mathematically safe now. Leicester
:57:55. > :57:59.3-0 Watford. Performance wasn't quite there for both sides today I
:58:00. > :58:02.think. It was a scrappy affair at times but ultimately it was about a
:58:03. > :58:09.result and another clean sheet which is pleasing. We managed to get the
:58:10. > :58:13.points when there was six games left and the points was what everybody
:58:14. > :58:17.talked about. That was our objective and we reached it when there was six
:58:18. > :58:21.games left. Now all the games we are playing from here to the end of the
:58:22. > :58:28.season we'll use them in order to prepare to have a base for the
:58:29. > :58:33.following year. I saw a nice thumbs up from the chairman. Do I read
:58:34. > :58:37.anything into that? No, he does it most matches. Maybe I need to look
:58:38. > :58:41.up a bit more. The remit was take the team to the end of the season
:58:42. > :58:46.and then we'll sit down, I've not been told anything else so that's
:58:47. > :58:50.what I expect to do. I would just give him the job, another two months
:58:51. > :58:54.of the season left, they would have won the league I would imagine.
:58:55. > :58:58.Mahrez, speculation once again in the media this morning in the papers
:58:59. > :59:02.whether he'd leave Leicester for possibly a Champions League club but
:59:03. > :59:08.he was close to his best again at the moment? He's a wonderful
:59:09. > :59:12.footballer. 17 goals, 11 assists last season. This year he hasn't
:59:13. > :59:17.done as well in terms of numbers but he's a game-changer. He's got that
:59:18. > :59:21.wonderful left foot, great vision. Always plays with the confidence
:59:22. > :59:26.that even when the team is not playing well, he can do something
:59:27. > :59:30.magical. Look at his feet. I'd be amazed and I'm sorry Leicester
:59:31. > :59:34.supporters and I know you are one of them Gary, but he can't be in a
:59:35. > :59:37.Leicester shirt next season, he's a Champions League player. We were in
:59:38. > :59:42.the Champions League this season. Were being the operative word. The
:59:43. > :59:45.only one ever. Leicester have given him the platform to achieve the
:59:46. > :59:47.heights. He's going to be very sought after because of the ability
:59:48. > :59:58.to win games. And produced magical moments. He has
:59:59. > :00:02.signed a new contract, Yaz given a year and this might be the summer
:00:03. > :00:09.when he can move on to a club where maybe he will be able to play
:00:10. > :00:12.Champions League football regularly. Thanks very much. Craig Shakespeare
:00:13. > :00:16.has got to get the job, hasn't he? He has done amazingly. It certainly
:00:17. > :00:21.feels that way. I would give it to him. Watford have got the 40 points
:00:22. > :00:26.and then they are in a rut? Lost the last three games, no goals in the
:00:27. > :00:32.last five away matches. It has been a bad end to the season. Mazzarri
:00:33. > :00:33.spoke about getting to the 40 point mark, they have done their job,
:00:34. > :00:36.season over. Burnley were looking to reach
:00:37. > :00:38.the 40-point mark for the first time Opponents West Brom had lost four
:00:39. > :00:53.in a row without scoring a goal. It is a proud day for this
:00:54. > :00:57.four-year-old. He becomes the first mascot to lead out all three
:00:58. > :01:02.Lancashire rivals, Blackburn, Accrington and now Burnley. His
:01:03. > :01:07.family are attempting to raise funds as he battles a rare form of liver
:01:08. > :01:13.cancer. Five clean sheets have been pivotal to Burnley's survival bid.
:01:14. > :01:19.Tom Heaton is fifth in this year's shutout table. Kevin Long makes his
:01:20. > :01:22.first start of the campaign alongside James Tarkowski in an
:01:23. > :01:28.untried centre pairing. Ben Mee is injured. Craig Dawson was the last
:01:29. > :01:33.to score for West Brom on the 18th of March. Four changes for the
:01:34. > :01:34.visitors, including 18-year-old Sam Field, who goes in support of
:01:35. > :01:52.Salomon Rondon. Boyd continued his run. Vokes. It
:01:53. > :01:57.was a good start by Foster. It was a good attempt by Vokes. It took a
:01:58. > :02:02.little touch on the way through from McAuley. That makes it an even
:02:03. > :02:06.better save from Foster. He has already got Burnley to their highest
:02:07. > :02:07.ever Premier League points total and they have recorded their most of the
:02:08. > :02:26.winds. -- their most wins. That is a great
:02:27. > :02:29.block. I think it was McClean got back it in. McClean just came in and
:02:30. > :02:43.stop Arfield brilliantly. Towards Barnes. The assistant is
:02:44. > :02:49.flagging on the far side and the ball goes into the net. Vokes
:02:50. > :02:54.scores. The flag was up in the first sightseeing penalty. The referee
:02:55. > :02:59.waved play on and Vokes turned it in. I am certain if it had not gone
:03:00. > :03:04.into the net, it would have been a Burnley penalty. The assistant was
:03:05. > :03:10.flagging, the signal was penalty, the referee waved play on, and
:03:11. > :03:14.Barnes provided Vokes with the goal which means that Burnley could be a
:03:15. > :03:20.Premier League team again next season. They are eighth in the
:03:21. > :03:24.Premier League season -- in the Premier League table despite their
:03:25. > :03:28.recent bad run of results. If you had asked Tony Pulis if he had
:03:29. > :03:36.fancied being eighth in May, he would have snapped your hand. Headed
:03:37. > :03:47.away under pressure by Ward. It is a West Brom corner. The delivery from
:03:48. > :03:52.Brunt. It is a good one as well. On the underside of the bar and just
:03:53. > :03:56.about cleared. You just fancied that if West Brom were going to finally
:03:57. > :04:05.score it would be from a set piece. They very nearly did. McClean
:04:06. > :04:13.getting round the outside. Nyom cannot get it. Rondon on the near, a
:04:14. > :04:20.brilliant swivel into the corner of the net. At long last, West Brom
:04:21. > :04:25.have a goal. It is Rondon's first of 2017. The almost scored when they
:04:26. > :04:33.hit the underside of the bar. In the next phase of play, McClean got the
:04:34. > :04:40.better of Lowton. Rondon got to the ball, swivelled and thumped it into
:04:41. > :04:44.the net. Determination from McClean. Rondon did the rest. At last, well
:04:45. > :04:51.in excess of eight and a half hours of trying, West Bromwich Albion have
:04:52. > :04:58.a go. In that moment, they may well have put off Burnley's Premier
:04:59. > :05:05.League survival for another week. Livermore. Good turn. Corner. He is
:05:06. > :05:11.disappointed, Livermore. He felt that was properly going to go in
:05:12. > :05:18.before the deflection took it wide. Good delivery. They have got
:05:19. > :05:22.another, West Brom. Dawson scores. You wait more than eight and a half
:05:23. > :05:29.hours for a goal and two come within eight minutes of each other. They
:05:30. > :05:32.had some momentum once the equaliser, West Brom. Great
:05:33. > :05:37.delivery, and Dawson, who, in the lead up to their equaliser, hit the
:05:38. > :05:43.underside of the buyer. He puts on under the bar and West Brom layback
:05:44. > :05:48.Turf Moor. They are spoiling Burnley's potential celebrations.
:05:49. > :05:53.There is a real urgency about Burnley. Andre Gray looks like he
:05:54. > :06:02.was held by McAuley. A yellow card is coming for the experienced centre
:06:03. > :06:06.back. Brady will take a free kick for Burnley. Less than five minutes
:06:07. > :06:13.to go. Foster comes out but he will not get to it. It is turned in by
:06:14. > :06:20.Vokes, his second goal in the match. Turf Moor and absolute raptures. It
:06:21. > :06:24.is a precious equaliser. What a relief. They were starting to look
:06:25. > :06:30.at the table and wondering if they could still get caught, Burnley.
:06:31. > :06:35.Vokes gets there in front of Foster and helps it into the back of the
:06:36. > :06:38.net. With news of Hull Trilling, it might be enough to keep Burnley in
:06:39. > :06:42.the division. A good afternoon on a personal
:06:43. > :06:47.level. Some frustration you have not come away with all three points? I
:06:48. > :06:51.think so. Obviously good point for us in the end by going 1-0 up, we
:06:52. > :06:56.were in control and took our foot off it a little bit and let West
:06:57. > :07:03.Brom back into it. To get back and get the point, hopefully that is a
:07:04. > :07:06.big point for us in the end. We have gone into the last few games with
:07:07. > :07:10.only one striker, Salomon Rondon. He has had to take the full weight of
:07:11. > :07:14.playing by himself. He works his socks off. Today he has got his just
:07:15. > :07:19.reward and we are very pleased. I am pleased for the whole group because
:07:20. > :07:22.they have worked hard and they had a go again today. We know that other
:07:23. > :07:26.teams have more quality and budgets but you cannot go around the Premier
:07:27. > :07:30.League worrying about everyone else. You have to focus on yourself and we
:07:31. > :07:44.have gone about games. We have taken a few knobs, but we have
:07:45. > :07:49.got to 40 points. That is a good marker for a club and team like us.
:07:50. > :07:51.Two games to go so we want to go hard in those games. A marvellous
:07:52. > :07:53.achievement for Burnley to get 40 points. A good achievement for Sam
:07:54. > :07:56.Vokes, his first Premier League race. Superb. Sean Dyche has done a
:07:57. > :07:58.great job. He played Sam Vokes and Ashley Barnes upfront last week
:07:59. > :08:04.against Crystal Palace and it was the same today. It worked for them.
:08:05. > :08:08.People would think having those two upfront, they are direct side, they
:08:09. > :08:13.will go in. They have the option to play direct, but they get the ball
:08:14. > :08:17.into wide areas, get crosses into the penalty area. Brilliant from the
:08:18. > :08:22.referee, Mike Jones, to play advantage to give Sam Vokes the
:08:23. > :08:26.goal. It was a clear penalty. You can see the assistant flagging. Good
:08:27. > :08:32.movement from Vokes, getting across the near post, as he does here.
:08:33. > :08:46.Getting across his man and into a goal scoring position.
:08:47. > :08:49.That ball from Robbie Brady in a great area. Is the offside?
:08:50. > :08:52.Probably, just offside. The assistant missed out on that one.
:08:53. > :08:54.The goalkeeper is coming into an area he could not get to. A
:08:55. > :08:57.brilliant performance by Sam Vokes. There are the details. West Brom
:08:58. > :09:01.have stopped the rot in terms of goal-scoring. Five previous games
:09:02. > :09:05.they have not scored. Yes, but they have had a tremendous season. Tony
:09:06. > :09:12.Pulis deserves great credit, as do the players. It is difficult to
:09:13. > :09:13.maintain it until the end, but they should be pleased with what they
:09:14. > :09:15.have done. Back-to-back wins looked to have
:09:16. > :09:17.secured Bournemouth's place They faced Stoke, who've not scored
:09:18. > :09:21.in their last six away games, a run that stretches back
:09:22. > :09:23.to the middle of January. John Roder was at
:09:24. > :09:29.the Vitality Stadium. The 21-year-old French striker Lys
:09:30. > :09:32.Mousset makes his first Premier League start with Benik of or be
:09:33. > :09:38.injured. He will play alongside Josh King upfront, who has scored 11
:09:39. > :09:42.goals in his last 12 appearances, including the late winner last
:09:43. > :09:48.weekend that relegated Sunderland. Mame Diouf has not scored from a
:09:49. > :09:53.stayer. He replaces Berahino an attack. Berahino has been ill in the
:09:54. > :09:56.days leading up to this match but is among the substitutes. Stoke hoping
:09:57. > :10:01.for a repeat of their 3-1 victory year last season. Stoke would move
:10:02. > :10:06.above Bournemouth with a victory today. Ballmer is looking to
:10:07. > :10:09.complete the double having won 1-0 at Stoke back in November, Nathan
:10:10. > :10:15.Ake with the only goal of that match. -- Stoke looking to complete
:10:16. > :10:33.the double. Nicely done from Bournemouth. The
:10:34. > :10:40.shot is against the inside of the post. Mousset blasted over. The shot
:10:41. > :10:47.from Smith, coming off the upright. Great passing and movement from
:10:48. > :10:53.Bournemouth. Adam Smith, so close to scoring. Perhaps Mousset should have
:10:54. > :10:58.scored. Both teams in mid-table at the moment. Not quite mathematically
:10:59. > :11:04.assured of their Premier League players for next season. We all
:11:05. > :11:10.accept that they will be in the top division, next August. That is a
:11:11. > :11:17.terrible challenge. What is Paul Tierney going to do? The Stoke
:11:18. > :11:25.players are surrounding the referee. Harry Arter, going for the ball,
:11:26. > :11:30.diving in. Joe Allen. You can see that the studs are showing and the
:11:31. > :11:39.fruit is raised, it is already ball. It is a yellow card. -- foot is
:11:40. > :11:40.raised. Some may consider Harry Arter to be very, very fortunate to
:11:41. > :11:55.still be on the pitch. Diouf will have to do it on his own.
:11:56. > :12:02.Another good block from Cook. Twice in quick succession that Steve Cook
:12:03. > :12:06.has got his body in the way. The corner and it is headed in. Geoff
:12:07. > :12:15.Cameron is the man who is claiming it. Stoke get a goal at last. At
:12:16. > :12:21.last on the road. Geoff Cameron is claiming that but it may well be an
:12:22. > :12:36.own goal by Mousset. There is the touch of the Bournemouth striker. 0-
:12:37. > :12:41.one. -- 0-1. Arnautovic in the middle with the header. It is over.
:12:42. > :12:48.Marko Arnautovic with a great chance to double the lead for Stoke. They
:12:49. > :12:58.header goes over. Bournemouth breeze massive sigh of relief. It remains
:12:59. > :13:05.1-0 the visitors. Lewis Cook, a great pass to find Smith. King has
:13:06. > :13:08.made a run in the middle. He lets it go and equaliser is turned in by
:13:09. > :13:14.Junior Stanislas, his fifth goal of the season. His eighth in total in
:13:15. > :13:20.the Premier League. Of those eight goals, seven have come. You just go
:13:21. > :13:25.back a couple of minutes, Marko Arnautovic head over the bar, and
:13:26. > :13:31.not long after, Bournemouth striker back to equalise. King leaves the
:13:32. > :13:41.cross and Stanislas tucks it in. 1-1. Mark Hughes's side with just
:13:42. > :13:44.one victory in their last eight Premier League matches coming into
:13:45. > :13:56.today, just four points from their last seven in the league. That was a
:13:57. > :14:02.delicate lob towards Arnautovic. It almost dropped for Diouf. Stoke are
:14:03. > :14:07.back in front. Mame Diouf, with his first goal since last May.
:14:08. > :14:19.Ah nowt vich with a little lock down. Could. Cleared by Bournemouth
:14:20. > :14:24.and do you have was left with the - Diouf was left with the task of
:14:25. > :14:32.scoring, something he has not done since last May. Bournemouth
:14:33. > :14:43.1-2-Stoke. Bournemouth have to do it all again, come from behind.
:14:44. > :14:52.Hits King and goes in! Stoke are claiming off side. But the header
:14:53. > :15:00.struck King and Bournemouth are level for a second time. Smith with
:15:01. > :15:07.the cross. Is King off side? Doesn't look to be. That took a final touch
:15:08. > :15:11.off Shawcross on its way in. For the second tame this afternoon,
:15:12. > :15:17.Bournemouth have come from a goal down to equalise -- second time.
:15:18. > :15:21.Good performance, we were very much on the front foot. We had a plan
:15:22. > :15:27.that worked well for us today They didn't create too many chances of
:15:28. > :15:30.note. We've just slipped up a couple of occasions and they've benefitted
:15:31. > :15:34.from that. We are disappointed with that and also disappointed that the
:15:35. > :15:38.referee didn't see fit toe send one of their players off early in the
:15:39. > :15:43.game with a terrible challenge on Joe Allen and the lad was out of
:15:44. > :15:47.control and should have gone, in my view. A few years ago, that would
:15:48. > :15:51.have been seen as an outstanding tackle. The ball was flush. Only
:15:52. > :15:55.seen it live, haven't seen the replay but it's one of those
:15:56. > :15:59.difficult ones because obviously you don't want to see any player hurt
:16:00. > :16:03.and Harry hasn't gone in with that intention. I think the referee's
:16:04. > :16:13.made the right call. The main aim is to stay up. It's a massive
:16:14. > :16:17.achievement for this club. This set of players, we are still hoping to
:16:18. > :16:22.get into the top ten. To establish ourselves in the Premier League, we
:16:23. > :16:24.are trying to do that desperately, incredibly tough league and we have
:16:25. > :16:27.found that again this year with the highs and lows but we are delighted
:16:28. > :16:33.to be playing in the Premier League next season. Honours eeven there,
:16:34. > :16:39.couple of talking points. Let's have a look at the possible offside. We
:16:40. > :16:44.don't think so? No. I don't think it was off side. Josh King, it's played
:16:45. > :16:49.on side actually by two players, he was an own goal off the back of
:16:50. > :16:54.Shawcross but he was clearly on side. It's played on side when he
:16:55. > :16:59.blocks the cross. Good decision from the officials. The talk was about
:17:00. > :17:07.the tackle as well. It was ferocious. It was a naughty one.
:17:08. > :17:13.What saved Joe Allen was the fact he did get the ball flush, the manager
:17:14. > :17:19.was right about that, but that is dangerous and it's a leg-breaker.
:17:20. > :17:23.Thankfully he's gotten away with it in terms of a yellow but Joe Allen
:17:24. > :17:30.is OK, that is the main thing. A red? Very lucky Harry Arter there.
:17:31. > :17:35.That is an horrendous tackle that, very bad tackle. Got away with it
:17:36. > :17:38.with just a yellow, not a red. We are out of time. Let's have a look
:17:39. > :17:43.at the Premier League table before we leave you. Tottenham's defeat
:17:44. > :17:48.means two games for Chelsea on Monday and Friday this week, that
:17:49. > :17:49.could security them the title. Manchester City leapfrog Liverpool
:17:50. > :17:59.into third. A huge day for Swansea who moved out
:18:00. > :18:04.of the bottom three at Hull's expense. Crystal Palace remain in
:18:05. > :18:09.trouble but will stay up if they get a point against Hill next weekend.
:18:10. > :18:15.Burnley and Watford are safe barring a big swing in goal difference --
:18:16. > :18:20.Hull. The Sunday Times show the emotion felt by Hull goalkeeper
:18:21. > :18:24.after their loss to Sunderland. They also report Manchester United boss
:18:25. > :18:29.Jose Mourinho is plotting a shock bid for Manchester City's Aguero.
:18:30. > :18:33.The Mail on Sunday call Man City boss Guardiola deluded after he said
:18:34. > :18:39.his team are the best attacking side in the Premier League while the
:18:40. > :18:41.Sunday Telegraph claim Bayern are preparing a ?55 million bid for
:18:42. > :18:45.Sanchez. So a Llorente header
:18:46. > :18:47.wins it for Swansea. There was something in the air
:18:48. > :18:53.tonight and it was Fernando. There's no such thing as
:18:54. > :19:13.a child prostitute.
