:00:18. > :00:20.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:21. > :00:29.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!
:00:30. > :00:44.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:45. > :00:46.Hello, a double header for you tonight.
:00:47. > :00:49.First up, three crucial Premier League matches
:00:50. > :00:50.followed by highlights from this season's first two FA
:00:51. > :00:55.Every match watched in the company of Martin Keown and Trevor Sinclair.
:00:56. > :00:57.Bournemouth's feisty draw at Old Trafford last Saturday
:00:58. > :01:00.was the first point picked up by Eddie Howe's side in five games
:01:01. > :01:03.and they looked to build on that against West Ham.
:01:04. > :01:09.Your commentator on the South Coast, John Motson.
:01:10. > :01:15.COMMENTATOR: If it's goals you want to see, this fixture looks a good
:01:16. > :01:19.bet on paper. Bournemouth have conceded 36 in their last 15 games,
:01:20. > :01:25.they haven't kept a clean sheet in their last eight and neither have
:01:26. > :01:29.West Ham in their last six. Suspensions for Tyrone Mings Andrade
:01:30. > :01:35.rue Surman, following events at Old Trafford, mean that Simon Francis
:01:36. > :01:40.returns after injury and Dan Gosling comes into the Bournemouth midfield.
:01:41. > :01:48.Michail Antonio is back from suspension, Andy Carroll is on 49
:01:49. > :01:56.Premier League goals and ?20 million Ayew is on the bench. What price
:01:57. > :01:59.loyalty. Mark Noble plays his 398 match today. He has been criticised
:02:00. > :02:07.by supporters this week on social media. This is a key game for
:02:08. > :02:10.Bournemouth. They defended well at Manchester United, they got a point.
:02:11. > :02:22.But they really need three from home games now. Gosling. Here's Daniels.
:02:23. > :02:31.Oh, Gosling is going to put Daniels in here. And that's a penalty
:02:32. > :02:36.against Feghouli. Bobby madly in no doubt at all. An arm went in there
:02:37. > :02:41.somewhere. It floored Daniels. He's pulled him back by the left
:02:42. > :02:53.shoulder. Important moment for Bournemouth in the ninth minute. Oh,
:02:54. > :03:01.he's put it wide. After scoring two in two. Josh King misses number
:03:02. > :03:04.three. That could be a blow for Bournemouth, we shall see.
:03:05. > :03:09.Bournemouth haven't had the best record against West Ham. They beat
:03:10. > :03:13.them 4-3 at Upton Park early last season, but then they lost here,
:03:14. > :03:20.3-1, they also lost at West Ham in August. Oh, here's Feghouli, the man
:03:21. > :03:25.who gave the penalty away. Oh, that's a good turn, and West Ham
:03:26. > :03:29.have taken the lead within seconds of Bournemouth missing a penalty.
:03:30. > :03:34.How on earth did Bournemouth lose their concentration like that? A
:03:35. > :03:38.penalty was missed, West Ham attacked. The Bournemouth defence
:03:39. > :03:42.crumbled. Feghouli was the man here who had given away the penalty. He
:03:43. > :03:46.made the opening here for Antonio. That turn and that left foot shot is
:03:47. > :03:50.everything they missed when he was suspended. Bournemouth could have
:03:51. > :03:56.gone ahead with the penalty, but it's West Ham who go-ahead after 10
:03:57. > :04:04.minutes through Michail Antonio. Startling opening to this game. It's
:04:05. > :04:09.a decent ball. It's Feghouli here. Daniel steps in, not far enough.
:04:10. > :04:18.That's Antonio, again. Feghouli made the goal for him earlier on. Here,
:04:19. > :04:26.Antonio stretching Boruc, just wide. Arter.
:04:27. > :04:33.Now it's Fraser. Thats with a good effort, and it brought Darren
:04:34. > :04:37.Randolph down to his right. Ryan Fraser here gets a chance to try
:04:38. > :04:46.himself. Randolph needed to get good hand on that. Corner to Bournemouth.
:04:47. > :04:52.They played it short to Arter. Now again it's Fraser. Good chip over.
:04:53. > :04:58.Steve Cook was in there for Bournemouth. Darren Randolph
:04:59. > :05:03.responds again. Scored a couple of useful goals this season against
:05:04. > :05:04.Bournemouth, one against Liverpool here. Goalkeeper had to be sharp.
:05:05. > :05:13.Charlie Daniels. Just in case anybody is wandering
:05:14. > :05:19.about Jack Wilshere, he's on the bench again today for Bournemouth.
:05:20. > :05:24.More invention in the midfield, he might be important later on. For the
:05:25. > :05:30.moment it's the direct route. Oh, Afobe was coming in on the near-post
:05:31. > :05:38.there. Gosling wins it back to Fraser. Played into Afobe. This is
:05:39. > :05:42.Josh King. Josh King has equalised and made up for his penalty miss
:05:43. > :05:47.with 31 minutes gone. Bournemouth are level. A lovely little flick up
:05:48. > :05:52.and then a left foot shot as the ball came down. Look at that from
:05:53. > :06:00.King. Good skill. It's Bournemouth 1, West Ham 1. An astute piece of
:06:01. > :06:08.play and a devastating finish. Daniels. Oh, that's a good ball to
:06:09. > :06:13.Pugh. Afobe, far-post. Pugh with his step over. Is that another penalty?
:06:14. > :06:21.It is. That's a familiar little trick of Marc Pugh and it's foiled
:06:22. > :06:25.and fooled Jose Fonte. A second penalty to Bournemouth. Do you
:06:26. > :06:35.change the penalty taker? That's the big question, and they have. Benik
:06:36. > :06:41.Afobe has picked up the ball. Oh, they've missed two! Darren Randolph
:06:42. > :06:45.makes the save from Benik Afobe. Eddie Howe can only stand there and
:06:46. > :06:50.wander - how do you miss two penalties in a home game, in the
:06:51. > :06:54.first half, and still expect to win. Randolph did well. It wasn't the
:06:55. > :07:01.best penalty in the world and neither was the one before it. Now,
:07:02. > :07:07.Antonio has got ahead of Francis. The goalkeeper starts to come. And
:07:08. > :07:12.Boruc does enough to force Antonio to strike that wide. Bournemouth
:07:13. > :07:14.defence caught out there. They were a bit square. Boruc shut the angle
:07:15. > :07:28.down. Carroll, Feghouli. Oh, deflection
:07:29. > :07:34.and a good save by the goalkeeper's feet. Feghouli there, threatening to
:07:35. > :07:38.put West Ham 2-1 up. The goalkeeper's left foot saved
:07:39. > :07:51.Bournemouth. They really do need to start this second-half in a positive
:07:52. > :07:56.frame of mind. Free-kick. West Ham have are pulled everybody back here.
:07:57. > :08:04.Fraser and Daniels on the ball. It's left to Fraser. Afobe's up there.
:08:05. > :08:09.Oh, King. Josh King, was he offside? There's no flag. And Josh King has
:08:10. > :08:13.scored his second. Mark Noble is complaining, I think, about
:08:14. > :08:17.handball. He now has gone across to the assistant referee. This will be
:08:18. > :08:24.a blow for Bournemouth if he changes his mind now. Goal! Josh King who
:08:25. > :08:28.missed that early penalty, he now has his second goal of the game and
:08:29. > :08:34.Bournemouth are back in front. Now then, as the free-kick is taken, the
:08:35. > :08:40.header on there, well, I don't think King is offside. I think, where they
:08:41. > :08:45.are appealing, West Ham, is there. It might have been Afobe. Certainly,
:08:46. > :08:53.in my view, onside King. 2-1, Bournemouth. Good challenge by
:08:54. > :08:58.Gosling. Here are Bournemouth, four against three. Afobe on the ball.
:08:59. > :09:05.King to his left, Gosling down the middle. Oh then it became five in
:09:06. > :09:10.the attack. Here's Fraser. Oh, unlucky. When Pugh joined in there,
:09:11. > :09:14.there were five Bournemouth shirts against three West Ham defenders.
:09:15. > :09:26.Somehow or other it never quite happened. This is Obiang. Cresswell
:09:27. > :09:30.doing a good job in keeping that in. Gosling now has found Arter on the
:09:31. > :09:35.break for Bournemouth. He's got players right and left. Josh King.
:09:36. > :09:42.Afobe is on this side. Here's Afobe. Making room for the shot, is he? He
:09:43. > :09:46.is. Oh, and it might well have been a goal to clinch the game. Darren
:09:47. > :09:51.Randolph, who has had a good afternoon, was right on it. Good
:09:52. > :09:57.effort by Afobe. We are halfway through the second-half here.
:09:58. > :10:03.Bournemouth lead by 2-1. West Ham, by no means finished. Here's
:10:04. > :10:07.Antonio. Nicely set up there by Lanzini. Good skill. Then Antonio
:10:08. > :10:22.an, he doesn't need any back lift at all. There goes Fraser. -- and. He
:10:23. > :10:27.tucks that back to Adam Smith. There is the chip. There's the chance for
:10:28. > :10:34.Afobe. Afobe wasn't challenged when he headed that over the bar. That
:10:35. > :10:46.would surely have clinched it, with 15 minutes to go. Obiang. Here's
:10:47. > :10:56.Ayew. Obiang, again. Oh, and they have allowed him to come through.
:10:57. > :10:58.West Ham get back to 2-2. It's the substitute, Andre Ayew with his
:10:59. > :11:05.second goal for the club. With only eight minutes to go here and the
:11:06. > :11:08.right back, Byram, who came on as a substitute, made that goal.
:11:09. > :11:16.Bournemouth lose the lead again. Was there an offside there? There was no
:11:17. > :11:21.flag. Byram pulled it back. Andy Carroll helped that on. Obiang
:11:22. > :11:25.involved as well. Byram getting down to the line there. Ayew makes it 2-2
:11:26. > :11:36.here. Anything can happen now. It's been that sort of game. This is
:11:37. > :11:40.Ayew. Again, Byram is sprinting down the right hand side, but
:11:41. > :11:50.Bournemouth, with Josh King, looking to break away. And, they have. This
:11:51. > :11:55.is Jack Wilshere. This is Pugh. Wilshere, against the goalkeeper's
:11:56. > :12:00.legs, Josh King. Extraordinary stuff here at Bournemouth. King has
:12:01. > :12:05.completed a hat-trick. Jack Wilshere has come on with an astute pass that
:12:06. > :12:13.may well win the game. Bournemouth back in front. Jason trying to calm
:12:14. > :12:17.them down here and Eddie Howe. Look, don't get carried away. I've seen
:12:18. > :12:22.some finishes on this ground. Jack Wilshere slots the ball in here. And
:12:23. > :12:25.then Josh King with the strike, over the goalkeeper and the flying
:12:26. > :12:31.defender on the line. And Bournemouth lead 3-2. King, despite
:12:32. > :12:36.missing an early penalty, completes a hat-trick. We had a lot thrown at
:12:37. > :12:43.us to miss a penalty and they score second later. It summed up the run
:12:44. > :12:46.we were on. The lads dug deep. When it was 2-2 the game was in the
:12:47. > :12:51.balance. We scored a great winning goal. It was a goal of high quality
:12:52. > :12:55.late in the game. We are disappointed especially when you
:12:56. > :12:58.have so many chances and at the end of the day when you score away two
:12:59. > :13:02.goals you should get something out of the game. Your players were
:13:03. > :13:07.disappointed and spoke to the referee after Bournemouth's second
:13:08. > :13:13.goal. What was their concern? After the second goal they asked for
:13:14. > :13:16.handball. But, to be fair, it wasn't a handball. When they scored the
:13:17. > :13:23.second goal, no, no. It the was a good goal. A Hat-trick is what a
:13:24. > :13:30.striker dreams off in the Premier League? I said to myself I will sco
:13:31. > :13:34.four in the next two games. I need one more. First to get my first
:13:35. > :13:39.Premier League hat-trick and get more. Missed his penalties and taken
:13:40. > :13:42.his three goals well. Had an outstanding season so far. He is
:13:43. > :13:46.showing his true potential. We will talk about Josh King. He is a
:13:47. > :13:50.really, really, you could see, tangible relief from Eddie Howe
:13:51. > :13:53.today in getting that win, the first in 2017. Josh King instrumental in
:13:54. > :13:58.that with his goals. He didn't have the best start? He didn't. He has
:13:59. > :14:01.been typical of how they have been later. He showed great character. It
:14:02. > :14:06.was an awful miss. He didn't even hit the target. You are expecting
:14:07. > :14:10.the guy to step up now this was going to be turning things around.
:14:11. > :14:15.The very start of the match. He does this. It takes an awful lot to
:14:16. > :14:22.recover from that. Fair to play to him. Trevor, after that he was
:14:23. > :14:28.outstanding. Mentally very strong. Ran himself into the Man of the
:14:29. > :14:31.Match performance. He did this tirelessly all afternoon. Missing a
:14:32. > :14:35.penalty can affect players, it can in a good way, for me it did the
:14:36. > :14:38.latter. Here again, into the six-yard box, trying to get on the
:14:39. > :14:42.end of that. Better quality. Could have had a goal there. Again, his
:14:43. > :14:45.workrate. It's not all attacking. He works hard to win the ball back.
:14:46. > :14:50.Shows great agility here. Good desire. This is not about ability,
:14:51. > :14:55.this is about wanting to penetrate and get forward. Fantastic. Seen the
:14:56. > :14:59.foul. Great, positive play. It's out of nothing his goal. Flips it over
:15:00. > :15:04.Fontaine's head whachl a composed finish. Scored seven goals in the
:15:05. > :15:07.last five games. This is why, full of excitement and intelligence
:15:08. > :15:12.around the box. He is offside on the initial ball in. Not offside in the
:15:13. > :15:14.second phase. Alive to that. Picked up, poor defending from West Ham.
:15:15. > :15:19.That is clinical. His left foot, again. He was doing that all
:15:20. > :15:27.afternoon. He was a thorn in the West Ham side. Great awareness.
:15:28. > :15:30.Keeps the ball. Link up play good after afternoon. Drives into the
:15:31. > :15:34.box. Marked there. He will not get sucked into the all the bodies. Sits
:15:35. > :15:38.out. Great awareness. That is with his right foot. Two-footed. The last
:15:39. > :15:40.hat-trick Bournemouth scored was against West Ham that was Callum
:15:41. > :15:52.Wilson. He deserved that. Were you surprised he did not take
:15:53. > :15:56.the second penalty because nine penalties so far this season and
:15:57. > :16:00.these were the only two they had missed all season. It is a tough
:16:01. > :16:06.one. I would not wanted him to step up if he was not happy. He was right
:16:07. > :16:15.to step out of the way. But a phobia, his penalty was bad. If you
:16:16. > :16:19.do not feel I could, sometimes it is the brave man saying I do not want
:16:20. > :16:24.to take it. Slaven Bilic Odyssey thinks it is a hard feeling, that
:16:25. > :16:28.journey home but reasons to be cheerful with Lanzini. He is going
:16:29. > :16:32.to be disappointed, they should be taking points from the game. But for
:16:33. > :16:37.me if there is any player that could take a positive it is Manuel
:16:38. > :16:45.Lanzini, he was outstanding. He has been put in their to fill the boots,
:16:46. > :16:49.not quite there yet but his play all afternoon was brilliant. The most
:16:50. > :16:56.passes out of the team. 33 in the opposition half. Waiting to pass
:16:57. > :17:01.into Antonio, that was superb. Always looking to penetrate, to get
:17:02. > :17:05.forward. Nice simple pass going forward and he has adapted and
:17:06. > :17:10.improved his game. Great upper body strength to win back the ball. Makes
:17:11. > :17:15.the angle. You seem highlighted here, always trying to make angles
:17:16. > :17:20.to get on the ball, taking responsibility. He commits players,
:17:21. > :17:26.forward pass again and gets himself into an area where he can receive
:17:27. > :17:30.the ball again. The touch a bit better there and that could be a
:17:31. > :17:35.goal-scoring opportunity. And a great passing range. Brilliantly
:17:36. > :17:40.lofted ball into Andy Carroll. Suggestion of handball would have
:17:41. > :17:44.been harsh. If he can do a bit better and be more clinical he will
:17:45. > :17:48.be fantastic. Going back to Bournemouth and Eddie Howe, this
:17:49. > :17:52.could be the pivotal week in the season. The week they had with
:17:53. > :17:59.Tyrone Mings, it felt like relief from Eddie Howe to get that first
:18:00. > :18:03.win of 2017. It is always a joy to watch his team's play, you see how
:18:04. > :18:08.united everyone is. Hopefully this will galvanise them going forward.
:18:09. > :18:12.He was clever to put Jack Wilshire on at the end. The impact he made
:18:13. > :18:16.when he came on. He could have started him but did not and now
:18:17. > :18:17.going in the right direction again. But a big game coming up against
:18:18. > :18:19.Swansea. If Bournemouth's win was crucial
:18:20. > :18:22.in their fight to avoid getting dragged into a relegation scrap,
:18:23. > :18:24.Hull and Swansea are already in one. Both teams started the day
:18:25. > :18:27.in the bottom five of the table, but both have benefited
:18:28. > :18:43.from a recent change of manager. Swansea, there transformation
:18:44. > :18:48.continues under Paul Clement. From desperation to optimism at the foot
:18:49. > :18:53.of the Premier League. Marco Silva has three precious points. Just
:18:54. > :19:03.maybe the greatest game is on. New manager, new signings, new feel
:19:04. > :19:06.about the KCOM. Your commentator at the KCOM, Alistair man.
:19:07. > :19:20.Two changes for a game that feels like a must win for Hull City. Abdul
:19:21. > :19:28.Hernandez leads the line. Angel Rangel and Wayne Routledge commenced
:19:29. > :19:32.for the visitors. Llorente has been in imperious form and is seeking to
:19:33. > :19:37.score for a third successive match, something he never managed at
:19:38. > :19:42.Juventus. Hull City looking for positive omens, they have already
:19:43. > :19:51.beaten Swansea in the league in August. And in the FA Cup in
:19:52. > :19:58.January. A terrific drop from Jakupovic. Lovely play from Swansea.
:19:59. > :20:07.Routledge is in and a good stop from the goalkeeper.
:20:08. > :20:16.Quite routine in terms of what Fabianski has had to do so far. The
:20:17. > :20:27.referee says Hull City can play on. Here is Grosicki. Still off target.
:20:28. > :20:31.Throughout that passage of play Fernando Llorente has stay down. The
:20:32. > :20:37.way he was clutching his bike, you wonder if it could be dead leg. I'm
:20:38. > :20:44.thinking it is. I think the impact, the knee onto the thigh from
:20:45. > :20:49.Huddlestone. Anyone who has suffered from a dead leg will know how
:20:50. > :20:56.debilitating that is. Perhaps Fernando Llorente will have to make
:20:57. > :21:05.way. It is a difficult injury to run off. I'm not sure that was a good
:21:06. > :21:14.idea to play into the path of the man who cannot run. Fernando
:21:15. > :21:18.Llorente does not thank him for it. New managers were meant to bring a
:21:19. > :21:31.positive response from the players. You could argue that although one
:21:32. > :21:37.has gathered more points than the other, they have both had a positive
:21:38. > :21:41.effect on their squad. The grass is decent and great goalkeeping! Really
:21:42. > :21:46.brave from Fabianski and I think wind at himself in the process.
:21:47. > :21:51.Trying to get to his feet. People helping out here, Fabianski. Really
:21:52. > :21:55.brave piece of goalkeeping. One of those as a goalkeeper for you just
:21:56. > :22:00.know you're going to get clobbered. And Fabianski puts his body on the
:22:01. > :22:12.line to get it away from Abdul Hernandez and he gets clobbered.
:22:13. > :22:16.It has has been a costly half for Swansea so far. Angel Rangel oft
:22:17. > :22:27.injured and now Fernando Llorente. On in his stead comes Jordan Ayew.
:22:28. > :22:30.These sites have conceded some 55 goals between them in the final 30
:22:31. > :22:45.minutes of Premier League matches this season. Kept alive by
:22:46. > :22:47.Sigurdsson. Andy Carroll. It comes towards the advancing Wayne
:22:48. > :22:50.Routledge who really ought to have done better. That was a plastic
:22:51. > :22:55.opportunity especially in the context of the game with so very few
:22:56. > :23:06.clear-cut openings. The crowd of just over 19,000, around 400 made
:23:07. > :23:18.the journey from Swansea. There is Sigurdsson for Swansea. Huddlestone
:23:19. > :23:28.protesting the innocence of his team-mate. Sigurdsson giving out the
:23:29. > :23:34.signals. Then going for glory! It was a scramble across his line by
:23:35. > :23:37.Jakupovic. I get the feeling it would have clipped the post but as a
:23:38. > :23:54.goalkeeper you do not want to take that chance. And Jakupovic did not.
:23:55. > :24:06.N'Diaye the player making way. On comes the essay. Taking a position
:24:07. > :24:15.alongside Abel Hernandez. The goalkeeper misses it. Clucas could
:24:16. > :24:23.not take it in his stride. Still not away yet. Another cross from a Hull
:24:24. > :24:26.City player eludes everyone and Sigurdsson gets underway. There did

:24:33. > :24:37.inspiration and players that make things happen, Dean Windass in the
:24:38. > :24:40.centre it certainly did it for many years for Hull City. An ambassador
:24:41. > :25:02.these days for the club. Niasse looking for the return. On
:25:03. > :25:09.site as well and he scores! Where did that come from! He does not
:25:10. > :25:13.care. The man he brought on to partner Abel Hernandez in the second
:25:14. > :25:19.half has duly obliged with a goal that could mean so much to his team.
:25:20. > :25:30.It has been quiet in this second half but the stadium erupts. Niasse
:25:31. > :25:33.slipped it underneath Fabianski. The last time he was on target was
:25:34. > :25:37.against Liverpool and they were the winners 2- nil. That was an
:25:38. > :25:41.important result. He might have provided Hull City with another
:25:42. > :25:50.vital three points. They needed to win this game today. In that moment
:25:51. > :25:54.might he have that victory? Some managers reach to a notepad and jot
:25:55. > :26:11.something down but others go absolutely ballistic. Here is
:26:12. > :26:19.Elmohamady. Through two Niasse! That is surely game one. He think so. He
:26:20. > :26:25.was surplus to Everton requirements. But he is essential to Hull City. A
:26:26. > :26:33.good finish as well. Nothing simple about it. He made it look so. Niasse
:26:34. > :26:45.may well have finished off the Swansea for the day. 2- nil.
:26:46. > :27:08.Niasse, a good ball. He has found him, Niasse. Really only two of
:27:09. > :27:14.them. No one else had joined in. Grosicki and Niasse combined, not
:27:15. > :27:23.too far off the target. Jordan Ayew, fouled. They will be
:27:24. > :27:28.counting the cost of the defeat and counting the cost of those who came
:27:29. > :27:37.off injured today. Delivered by Sigurdsson. Alfie Mawson is free.
:27:38. > :27:44.And to subdued cheers and a sharp intake of breath from the Hull City
:27:45. > :27:47.supporters, it goes in for Alfie Mawson, nothing more than a
:27:48. > :27:53.statistic on an afternoon that has belonged to Hull City. Into the
:27:54. > :27:59.corner of the net but nothing more than a scare. Hull City on a day
:28:00. > :28:07.when they just had to win, have done exactly that. A huge victory this
:28:08. > :28:12.for Hull City. 2-1. Congratulations Marco, how big a win is that for
:28:13. > :28:18.Hull City? Really important. We got three important points. We did our
:28:19. > :28:28.obligation to win at home one game against Swansea. A tough day for us.
:28:29. > :28:35.The first half, we improved in the second half and had better control
:28:36. > :28:41.the game. We took a risk with the two strikers and it caused problems
:28:42. > :28:45.for them. Injuries in the first half have hurt us. The players who came
:28:46. > :28:49.on our good players but then in the second you're limited to what you
:28:50. > :28:55.can do. Going into this game I did not think we anywhere near safe. We
:28:56. > :28:59.have a lot to do and we're not anywhere near safe still. Ten games
:29:00. > :29:05.to go and we have got to be starting to play well again. And bounce back
:29:06. > :29:12.next week against Bournemouth. Martin, you struggled a bit with
:29:13. > :29:18.this match. The whole match then changed. It was down to the manager,
:29:19. > :29:23.Michael Silva just change the formation. Niasse came on and made
:29:24. > :29:27.the complete difference. Charging through midfield. Two players at the
:29:28. > :29:31.top of the team and just give and go. You attack the space, lovely
:29:32. > :29:37.ball into him and he came on with a point to prove. And he has proved
:29:38. > :29:41.it. Maybe powerful. Again thinking OK, I like this, I will stay down
:29:42. > :29:46.the middle. Again looking for that, he gets lucky. And Niasse just put
:29:47. > :29:57.it away. That just changed the game. With Llorente, the opposite
:29:58. > :30:02.situation with Swansea. He's injured today, just before half-time. They
:30:03. > :30:07.have got no vocal point. They struggled. All the good work came to
:30:08. > :30:11.nothing? Llorente scored three goals in the last two games. Balls come
:30:12. > :30:15.into the box he had been feeding off. The team didn't realise he'd
:30:16. > :30:19.gone off. They played in almost exactly the same well. This is sort
:30:20. > :30:24.of ball Llorente would have loved coming in here. It goes over the top
:30:25. > :30:28.of Ayew's head. He didn't seem to be able to hold on to the ball for them
:30:29. > :30:33.today. He was disappointing. That is what he has to do. Build that
:30:34. > :30:36.platform. Loses possession. Then, suddenly, you can't get Sigurdsson
:30:37. > :30:42.on the ball. You can't be effective in the final third. I think the DNA
:30:43. > :30:45.of Swansea is - get the ball down, pass it around, have possession,
:30:46. > :30:50.then get the ball into wide areas and Llorente will feed off that. It
:30:51. > :30:53.affected the vocal point. It unbalanced the side. Hull got
:30:54. > :30:59.confidence. Silva made the changes and went on to win the game. Three
:31:00. > :31:01.out of four Premier League home wins since he arrived as well. OK.
:31:02. > :31:03.Everton's defeat to Spurs last weekend might have
:31:04. > :31:06.ended their nine-game unbeaten run, but there is still belief a top six
:31:07. > :31:10.They took on West Brom, who are striving to hit
:31:11. > :31:11.their Premier League record points total.
:31:12. > :31:20.COMMENTATOR: There's no stopping Everton or Romelu Lukaku at Goodison
:31:21. > :31:24.right now. The team have rattled in 15 goals in four consecutive
:31:25. > :31:27.victories here. The Belgian has scored in each of them and has 18
:31:28. > :31:34.for the season, matching his best ever tally in the Premier League. In
:31:35. > :31:40.sharp contrast, Kanu has one to his name. That was the first start for
:31:41. > :31:44.Albion. This is only his second. His goal came at Southampton on New
:31:45. > :31:51.Year's Eve. West Brom's last away win. Strikers the pre-match talk in
:31:52. > :31:56.more ways than one this afternoon. Everton remember a giant from the
:31:57. > :32:02.past, the golden vision, Alex Young, whose funeral it was today. A league
:32:03. > :32:07.and FA Cup winner and scorer of 87 goals in the blue shirt.
:32:08. > :32:20.Barkley. That will drop for Davies. Still Davies. Davies. Now, Jagielka.
:32:21. > :32:26.Struck his own player, Ashley Williams in the way. Coleman to
:32:27. > :32:31.collect the pieces. Never scared to have a little dribble. What a cross.
:32:32. > :32:37.Missed at the near-post by McAuley and turned behind at the far-post by
:32:38. > :32:46.Nyom. This is the right-back with the left-wing dribble. Quality
:32:47. > :32:51.cross. Tony Pulis' 300th match as a Premier League manager. He's never
:32:52. > :33:03.finished in the Top 10. Very much on course for that come May. Barry.
:33:04. > :33:10.Schneiderlin. Barkley, Barry, into Lukaku. Sight of goal. Just wide of
:33:11. > :33:15.goal. Clever interchange here from Everton. It was quick, it was
:33:16. > :33:18.accurate, it released Lukaku, on his weaker right side, but he's only a
:33:19. > :33:29.fraction away from giving Everton an early lead here. Nyom.
:33:30. > :33:39.Robson-Kanu. Looking to get beyond Coleman. It won't read Chadli. Barry
:33:40. > :33:48.is there. Davies' first touch was heavy. Evans, Nyom. Still forward
:33:49. > :33:53.from launching the earlier raid. Neat backheel from Robson-Kanu. .Y
:33:54. > :33:58.was strong up against Chadli. Had to be careful in there as well not to
:33:59. > :34:03.bring the Belgian down. Good back-tracking from Barry. Best move
:34:04. > :34:11.that they have produced so far. Kevin Mirallas. Lukaku, lovely
:34:12. > :34:16.touch. Tom Davies. It's off Dawson and behind for another corner.
:34:17. > :34:22.Davies perhaps had more time than he appreciated there. The flip there
:34:23. > :34:29.from Lukaku. Davies decided to hammer the cross early. Mirallas
:34:30. > :34:35.pulling it back here to Baines. He's got away from Chadli all too easily.
:34:36. > :34:40.In towards Lukaku! Wide of the other post this time. Another shake of the
:34:41. > :34:45.head. He feels he should have done better here, Baines. M Ronald Koeman
:34:46. > :34:55.has certainly got the smiles back on the faces of the Goodison faithful.
:34:56. > :35:03.A fortress here this season, one defeat here o. Dawson in no rush.
:35:04. > :35:11.He's found Chadli. Good shot from him. Turned behind. Taking no risks
:35:12. > :35:28.at all. It was heading home. McAuley. Now Tom Davies for Everton.
:35:29. > :35:39.To Barkley. Lukaku wants it played forward. Here he is. He's got four
:35:40. > :35:41.around him for company. Albion smothering Everton at every
:35:42. > :35:51.opportunity. It's still alive for the home side. Lukaku. It will drop
:35:52. > :35:58.for Barkley. Now Mirallas! Everton get the breakthrough. Kevin
:35:59. > :36:02.Mirallas, probably not the Belgian that most people before the game
:36:03. > :36:06.would have predicted would open the scoring. But six minutes before the
:36:07. > :36:14.break, Mirallas has his fourth of the season. Lukaku started it, and
:36:15. > :36:18.when it ran to Barkley, his effort brought a fine save from Foster.
:36:19. > :36:22.Mirallas on hand to pounce. Everton, for the first time this afternoon,
:36:23. > :36:26.had to soak up pressure in the last few moments, they take the lead.
:36:27. > :36:30.Mirallas, who has scored a few goals down the years at The Hawthorns,
:36:31. > :36:38.gets their first goal against Albion at Goodison for four years. Foul by
:36:39. > :36:41.McClean. The referee wants to play advantage, but then decides that a
:36:42. > :36:46.free-kick is the more logical option.
:36:47. > :37:00.Looking for Coleman. He is in behind Livermore, who pushed him over,
:37:01. > :37:04.didn't he? Well, does it look as though Coleman made a meal of it or
:37:05. > :37:13.is he trying to keep his feet and his feet are just slipping from
:37:14. > :37:17.underneath him? Everton looking really good at the moment. Bare
:37:18. > :37:23.feeds it through to Romelu Lukaku. Is held up by Evans. But not for
:37:24. > :37:29.long. He's found Schneider, who is in against Livermore. And
:37:30. > :37:33.Schneiderlin scores. It's his first Everton goal. It's the finish that a
:37:34. > :37:40.regular goalscorer would be proud of. Great hold-up play and linkup
:37:41. > :37:45.play from Lukaku. Schneiderlin too strong for Livermore and too cute
:37:46. > :37:49.for Ben Foster, who came out to meet him, but it's a great finish from
:37:50. > :37:53.the Frenchman whose last Premier League goal came from Manchester
:37:54. > :38:01.United against Everton here at Goodison. Robson-Kanu down for
:38:02. > :38:12.Chadli. Through the legs of Barry. Chadli goes on. . Gareth Southgate,
:38:13. > :38:14.England manager here to cast an eye over Ross Barkley, in particular,
:38:15. > :38:19.whose last appearance for England was a year ago against the
:38:20. > :38:25.Netherlands. Lithuania of course coming up for England at the end of
:38:26. > :38:29.this month. Mirallas. Running at Dawson and crossing. It's Barkley,
:38:30. > :38:36.on the turn, brill yanltly, is there a finish? Side-netting. Clever feet
:38:37. > :38:39.from Ross Barkley. Got it slightly underneath his feet before he could
:38:40. > :38:42.get the shot away. But he's revelling in this extra
:38:43. > :38:46.responsibility that Ronald Koeman has given him since the turn of the
:38:47. > :38:55.year, just to play behind Romelu Lukaku. Still the door slightly
:38:56. > :39:01.ajar. If Albion can get one, in the next few moments. Far side is Funes
:39:02. > :39:06.Mori with a chance to cross. Instead, it'ses Ross Barkley up
:39:07. > :39:14.against McAuley. -- it's. In towards Lukaku! He finds the net, as he
:39:15. > :39:18.always does at Goodison in 2017. Eight minutes from time. And if the
:39:19. > :39:23.game was ever in doubt, I don't really think it was, it certainly
:39:24. > :39:27.isn't now. Romelu Lukaku, for the first time in his Premier League
:39:28. > :39:32.career, reaches the tally of 19 goals. Fabulous delivery. Lukaku
:39:33. > :39:36.nods it home past a hapless Ben Foster.
:39:37. > :39:44.Might be time for a fourth if this stays in and they do anything with
:39:45. > :39:50.the cross. It's Giaccherini, turning well. Firing against the post. Just
:39:51. > :39:54.four points between these sides at kick-off today. There was a requests
:39:55. > :39:59.imon the pitch. Everton 3, West Bromwich Albion 0. We will always
:40:00. > :40:02.score because we have that type of players and of course with Romelu
:40:03. > :40:07.Lukaku, normally he will score every game. That's a really comfortable
:40:08. > :40:12.situation, but you needed to fight, you need to defend of you need to
:40:13. > :40:18.run. Also I think the pressing on the ball, on the midfield and by Tom
:40:19. > :40:22.Davies and Morgan was outstanding. 3-0 scoreline, did the play reflect
:40:23. > :40:27.that? You watch the game, Martin, I don't think it did. Obviously,
:40:28. > :40:30.conceding the two goals before half-time, you know, killed us. Up
:40:31. > :40:36.until that point we were well in the game. You know, Lukaku and Barkley
:40:37. > :40:42.were pretty outstanding for them today and, you know, that final
:40:43. > :40:47.third, it's thin lines. You know they have benefitted from it today.
:40:48. > :40:51.You can't fault the players they worked hard and put a lot of effort
:40:52. > :40:54.into this game if you haven't been here you would think it was a stroll
:40:55. > :41:01.in the park for Everton, it was anything but that. Not my prime job
:41:02. > :41:06.to do it, to score goals, but if I can help the team and to score many
:41:07. > :41:10.goals, I will do it because, like I say, if you want to be a top mid
:41:11. > :41:15.Eldin Jakupovic fielder you need to score more than five goals a season.
:41:16. > :41:21.I will try to score a couple more. His first goal for 511 days in the
:41:22. > :41:24.Premier League. It's obviously paying dividends reuniting with his
:41:25. > :41:30.old manager, Ronald Koeman? He is maybe not the final piece in the
:41:31. > :41:36.jigsaw, he is a major part of that picture
:41:37. > :41:41.you see it for Everton. Barry sits deeper. Of all these great players,
:41:42. > :41:44.I say great, Barkley and Lukaku will be top, top players if not already.
:41:45. > :41:49.Somebody has to sit deep and do the work. Be the feeder. Look at this.
:41:50. > :41:54.He wants to punch things into those players and make things happen. He
:41:55. > :41:58.clears up as well. No doubt. He is the nightwatchman but he wants to
:41:59. > :42:03.pass and make things happen. His manager knows him well. He wants to
:42:04. > :42:06.be the all round midfield player. That's the pleasing thing. Koeman
:42:07. > :42:09.will give him the licence to get forward. As he does here. He drifts
:42:10. > :42:15.forward, Lukaku does brilliantly. There is no doubt he is you are ping
:42:16. > :42:20.now, Lukaku. Look at this, lifts it over the goalkeeper. Shows he can
:42:21. > :42:25.play. To be in Koeman's team you have to be able to show all the
:42:26. > :42:27.facets of a midfield player. He was told he wasn't good enough for
:42:28. > :42:32.Manchester United. He is good enough for Everton. Lukaku on 19 goals,
:42:33. > :42:36.best ever Premier League season. We have ten games to go? He is on fire.
:42:37. > :42:41.He is playing well. Knows his role in the team. Looks fitter. His stats
:42:42. > :42:46.there, improving year after year. You think about his experience, he
:42:47. > :42:55.is still only 23. He's been involved in 24 Premier League goals this
:42:56. > :42:59.season. Sanchez has had 26. He is a nightmare for defenders. He's
:43:00. > :43:03.powerful, good in the air. He can finish with both feet. Runs in
:43:04. > :43:08.behind. His linkup play is I improving all the time. The biggest
:43:09. > :43:13.thing, this is what Everton fans will here, he's ambition. Ambitious.
:43:14. > :43:18.He wants to play in the Champions League. They have to match that. If
:43:19. > :43:23.not they will be leaving. They are getting closer to that top six that
:43:24. > :43:25.they crave. The Premier League season continues
:43:26. > :43:43.on Sunday with Match of the Day 2 # You'll never walk alone...
:43:44. > :43:57.#. Everton have lost only one
:43:58. > :44:03.of their last 17 home matches and their win over West Brom sees
:44:04. > :44:06.the Toffees close the gap on sixth Hull's third win over Swansea this
:44:07. > :44:10.season leaves them just a point from safety,
:44:11. > :44:11.although Crystal Palace have a game in hand,
:44:12. > :44:13.while Bournemouth remain 14th after picking up their
:44:14. > :44:15.first win of 2017. That's it for the
:44:16. > :44:18.Premier League action.
