:00:23. > :00:40.Just brilliant. Just brilliant. An absolute belter! What a goal! Look
:00:41. > :00:45.at that! Here we go again -
:00:46. > :00:47.new season, new titles, Apart from that, nothing
:00:48. > :00:50.much has really changed. Seven games on the way
:00:51. > :00:52.from the opening day We've gone with two up
:00:53. > :00:55.front in the studio - Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have
:00:56. > :00:59.it all covered. Champions Leicester City kicked
:01:00. > :01:02.off their title defence against a Hull side seemingly
:01:03. > :01:05.in disarray after a turbulent pre-season that saw
:01:06. > :01:09.the departure of Steve Bruce. Caretaker boss, Mike Phelan,
:01:10. > :01:11.had just 13 senior players available for the club's first game back
:01:12. > :01:29.in the top flight. Opening day is normally one full of
:01:30. > :01:34.optimism. It is in short supply at home. A controversial membership
:01:35. > :01:43.scheme, no new signings and no permanent manager. With caretaker
:01:44. > :01:47.boss Mike Phelan left with only 13 fit senior players to choose from
:01:48. > :01:51.and forced to play Jake Livermore at centre-back. For Leicester, all is
:01:52. > :01:55.calm and settled with a few adjustments to last year's title
:01:56. > :02:02.winning team. There are debuts for Hernandez, Musa and Gray get only
:02:03. > :02:13.his second start for the Foxes. Representatives of Hull City's
:02:14. > :02:44.potential new owners are here today. Another decision goes Hull's way. It
:02:45. > :02:49.will be a Hull corner. A good ball in for Robert Snodgrass. He will
:02:50. > :02:58.have come across to get even better into the penalty area. Behind,
:02:59. > :03:03.Curtis Davies. He needs to rid himself of any Leicester intention.
:03:04. > :03:17.In front of Wes Morgan and stayed there to flick in towards goal.
:03:18. > :03:32.Just curled away from goal. The keeper knew it was going wide. Not a
:03:33. > :03:40.fall blooded dive from the goalkeeper. That is the closest that
:03:41. > :03:49.either side has come so far. This combination between Fuchs, Musa.
:03:50. > :03:57.Vardy's effort is blocked. A heroic block from Livermore. Mahrez! Wide.
:03:58. > :04:01.Christian Fuchs has rarely come closer to scoring his first
:04:02. > :04:06.Leicester goal than theirs. A brilliant bit of passing play with
:04:07. > :04:15.two of his team-mates. That is excellent defending from the
:04:16. > :04:23.makeshift centre-back, Livermore. Musa, too quick for Davis. Vardy has
:04:24. > :04:28.missed another. He slaps himself in the face. A wake-up call for Jamie
:04:29. > :04:30.Vardy but an even bigger one for Hull. The chances are coming for
:04:31. > :04:49.Leicester now. Snodgrass took on Christian Fuchs.
:04:50. > :04:54.He realised the touch had come off the Leicester defender and was happy
:04:55. > :05:01.to lead role for a corner. Tried his best not to wrap his arms fully
:05:02. > :05:08.round Tom Huddlestone. Hernandez got there in front of Schmeichel. It is
:05:09. > :05:16.another Hull corner. Late goal wards and saved by Schmeichel. Now it is
:05:17. > :05:25.in. Pushed in by Hernandez. Relegation favourites one macro,
:05:26. > :05:28.reigning champions zero. Another good delivery by Snodgrass. An
:05:29. > :05:39.excellent header, kept out by Schmeichel. They almost got it
:05:40. > :05:55.together. Hernandez was in no doubt. Or was it dear mandate? -- Diomande.
:05:56. > :06:02.No changes made to either side during the half-time interval.
:06:03. > :06:06.Hoping for an incident free second half. There is one incident
:06:07. > :06:11.straightaway, a penalty for Leicester. Gray went down. Where did
:06:12. > :06:18.the bowel take place? As Tom Huddlestone came in and clipped the
:06:19. > :06:20.ankle of Gray, who fell into the box, the contact with outside. It
:06:21. > :06:35.will be Mahrez. Mahrez Hammers it home! What will
:06:36. > :06:42.that do for the confidence of Hull City. They must have been bouncing
:06:43. > :07:00.in their dressing room but they have been brought back down to now. 1-1.
:07:01. > :07:13.Hull again with Elmohamady. Snodgrass! Hull have the lead for a
:07:14. > :07:23.second time. No chance about who scored that. It was costly for
:07:24. > :07:30.Leicester. Simpson could not get it properly clear, only to Snodgrass.
:07:31. > :07:39.Snodgrass got himself set before firing through the hole. Under
:07:40. > :07:47.Morgan, past Schmeichel and the caretaker manager is doing a fine
:07:48. > :07:59.job with this stretched side. That was too risky. Cut out by Mahrez.
:08:00. > :08:07.Okazaki ran into Curtis Davies. A card for the Hull captain. He is
:08:08. > :08:13.trying to stand his ground. That was quite a clumsy attempt at taking the
:08:14. > :08:22.ball from the Japanese striker. It might be Drinkwater, or it might be
:08:23. > :08:30.Mahrez. Saved by the goalkeeper. He's spilled it. A corner is better
:08:31. > :08:32.than a goal against. Round the wall. It would have to keep on curling a
:08:33. > :08:52.bit more than that. It was charged down by Huddlestone
:08:53. > :09:06.and bounced against the Leicester man for a Hull throw. They have a
:09:07. > :09:13.free kick, a soft one from the Elmohamady throw. Snodgrass is
:09:14. > :09:23.impeded. Snodgrass to go for pace, width and dip. They were trying to
:09:24. > :09:32.catch Michael Alp that he was ready for it. As it stands, this is
:09:33. > :09:38.today's matchwinner. -- Schmeichel out. Seconds left in the game... No
:09:39. > :09:45.time left in the game. An opening day win, which is a famous one for
:09:46. > :09:55.Hull City. We'll was talk about a pride of Lions but these Tigers have
:09:56. > :09:58.plenty of pride as well. The start from Leicester City? Pants. Did you
:09:59. > :10:04.see anything in training which might suggest you may not be at your best
:10:05. > :10:08.today? No, no, no full stop we had a very good training session. Very
:10:09. > :10:12.concentrated. Today we want to do the same. I think only the
:10:13. > :10:19.connection between the players was not 100%. Did you see it coming? We
:10:20. > :10:24.set out our stall to make sure we had something in the game. That was
:10:25. > :10:30.the important thing. Things are going on and happening and we wanted
:10:31. > :10:33.to galvanise each other together. It was great to see the team pulling
:10:34. > :10:39.together, the staff pulling together and we got the result that surprised
:10:40. > :10:45.a few people. When you are the underdogs, there is something about
:10:46. > :10:50.this squad. We stick together as a unit. Maybe it is that sort of
:10:51. > :10:54.cliche. You will get relegated and people take you for this and that.
:10:55. > :11:01.We cannot let that affect us and we have put it to one side. Hard work
:11:02. > :11:07.and determination, that is what the squad is built on. I did say after
:11:08. > :11:16.the game, we need a hand. It is very difficult because the reasons are
:11:17. > :11:23.exceptional if everyone is to stay fit from now till the end of season,
:11:24. > :11:30.it is fine. It will be very tough. A great win for Hull. A reality check
:11:31. > :11:40.for Leicester after winning the title last season. When we won the
:11:41. > :11:46.league at Blackburn, the season after we found it very difficult.
:11:47. > :11:52.At times, I think Leicester well. It is not a surprise away that
:11:53. > :11:56.Leicester play. We know they try to hit teams on the counterattack last
:11:57. > :12:03.year. That will mean teams will sit deep, they will get players behind
:12:04. > :12:08.the ball like Hull did today. No space in behind four Vardy awful
:12:09. > :12:12.Musa to run into. Look at the reaction from Drinkwater
:12:13. > :12:18.ex-commissioner he is asking for options full stop he wants someone
:12:19. > :12:26.to come short also been in behind. -- Drinkwater! Leicester found it
:12:27. > :12:32.very difficult today. Hull were brilliant. Nowhere to go. Not a lot
:12:33. > :12:40.of space in behind. Very well organised. Drinkwater a game gets
:12:41. > :12:48.the ball. Leicester's game last was about pace, hitting teams on the
:12:49. > :12:54.break. It did not happen. By the time they start running at people,
:12:55. > :13:00.look at the numbers! There is nowhere for them to go. The one time
:13:01. > :13:06.they did do it, they knocked the ball on when there was space for
:13:07. > :13:14.Musa, they did it well. Body had a day to forget. He had one or two
:13:15. > :13:20.chances. -- Jamie Vardy. They have possession but that was not
:13:21. > :13:23.Leicester last year. Giving Hull time to get behind the ball and not
:13:24. > :13:30.causing them any problems. The ball should go in there and should go in
:13:31. > :13:34.there. Musa takes another touch and then goes back out. That gives you
:13:35. > :13:42.time. There are now ten men behind the ball. It was not quick or
:13:43. > :13:46.incisive. At times, Hull found it easy. Not enough questions were
:13:47. > :13:50.asked. Leicester need to get used to that. They had better get used to
:13:51. > :13:57.that. A lot of teams will do that and try to frustrate them. Despite
:13:58. > :14:01.all the pre-season problems for Hull, they showed remarkable
:14:02. > :14:07.resilience and team spirit. They were prepared for them. They knew
:14:08. > :14:10.how Leicester would play. It is about getting the ball and getting
:14:11. > :14:15.it forward quickly. They were prepared. He has done his homework
:14:16. > :14:21.and they crowded them out. They were not just blasting it up the pitch.
:14:22. > :14:29.It was great stuff, one touch stuff. Clucas was fantastic. They are out.
:14:30. > :14:35.They played very well. They did not panic. Clucas one touch, played it
:14:36. > :14:39.in. What I would like to see from the forwards is more movement. At
:14:40. > :14:43.times Leicester were high. I do not think they made enough movement to
:14:44. > :14:48.break them down for that this is where Leicester did do well. Great
:14:49. > :14:54.play from figs. A great save from the goalkeeper. Brilliant by
:14:55. > :15:04.Livermore. Al Hammer de back on the line. He will save it on the line.
:15:05. > :15:09.-- Elmohamady. They were just up for it today and have done very well.
:15:10. > :15:14.Even when they do get it forward quickly, Livermore and Curtis Davies
:15:15. > :15:16.were rushing all over him and gave him nothing. They deserved the win.
:15:17. > :15:23.They are going to need it. The players were unbelievable
:15:24. > :15:26.professional. The staff did a great job. The owners have failed the
:15:27. > :15:30.players, failed the staff. I think they have failed the fans. Where has
:15:31. > :15:33.the money gone that they got for getting into the Premier League?
:15:34. > :15:36.Those players that they signed last year didn't sign up for this, to be
:15:37. > :15:40.left on their own. They need help. They have 13 fit players. Otherwise
:15:41. > :15:44.it will be a long, hard season for Hull, despite a good result today.
:15:45. > :15:48.Certainly is. I can't bear you two looking at me the way you're looking
:15:49. > :15:52.at me. Enough of this nonsense, I'm going to get dressed. In the
:15:53. > :15:54.meantime perhaps the most anticipated debut of all on the
:15:55. > :16:02.opening day. all on the opening day,
:16:03. > :16:04.Pep Guardiola's first game in charge The former Barcelona
:16:05. > :16:07.and Bayern Munich manager faced a Sunderland side now
:16:08. > :16:09.led by David Moyes following the appointment
:16:10. > :16:11.of Sam Allardyce as England boss. Steve Wilson was at
:16:12. > :16:20.the Etihad Stadium. Such is the status of Pep Guardiola
:16:21. > :16:23.that City's title of favourites have. David Moyes will relish the
:16:24. > :16:29.challenge in his first game as Sunderland boss. Decisions decision
:16:30. > :16:40.already for Guardiola. Joe Hart is the first big casualty on the bench
:16:41. > :16:46.as Willy Caballero starts in goal. Stones and Nolito make debuts. Kone
:16:47. > :16:51.wants to go to Everton. Sunderland would rather keep their defender
:16:52. > :16:57.than a tidy profit. The Ivorian starts. Here to watch his Oldboys
:16:58. > :17:05.and maybe some new ones too, the England manager, Sam Allardyce.
:17:06. > :17:12.Another new era at Manchester City. It's a free-kick to Sunderland.
:17:13. > :17:17.Fernandinho is the only defensive midfielder in this Manchester City
:17:18. > :17:23.starting line-up. Was a little bit late on Jermaine Defoe. Early test
:17:24. > :17:27.for Caballero. It took a little deflection, I think. Caballero
:17:28. > :17:33.treated it with caution. Maybe more than it actually deserved. That's
:17:34. > :17:39.dangerous. Sunderland are protesting it should be a corner. In the end,
:17:40. > :17:46.it's a goal kick. A point to prove, David Moyes. His last game in the
:17:47. > :17:50.English Premier League was 2-0 defeat Atangana you goedson Park as
:17:51. > :17:56.Manchester United boss. Sterling being chased by van Aanholt. Caught
:17:57. > :18:03.by van Aanholt. Aanholt. With just a second or two more than three
:18:04. > :18:07.minutes played. Cut back inside the full-back, who couldn't avoid
:18:08. > :18:11.sliding into the Manchester City forward. Few complaints from
:18:12. > :18:23.Sunderland about the award of this penalty. To be taken by Sergio
:18:24. > :18:28.Aguero. 1-0. Off and running already, Manchester City.
:18:29. > :18:38.The main man scores the first goal of Manchester City's season.
:18:39. > :18:45.Elegant defender Jack Stones, he didn't have the best of seasons last
:18:46. > :18:53.term at Everton. Berahino chasing that. The clearance is poor. Defoe
:18:54. > :19:03.was in space. Lynden Gooch here. Danger. It was just behind Borini.
:19:04. > :19:07.That was a shame. Cab Caballero is in the team because of Joe Hart's
:19:08. > :19:14.supposed weakness in playing the ball with his feet. It was a poor
:19:15. > :19:16.Caballero clearance to Watmore. David Silva. Don't want to give him
:19:17. > :19:36.that much room. Nolito. Oh, went for a curl. Didn't
:19:37. > :19:44.appear to be that far away. I think he's enjoying himself, Manchester
:19:45. > :19:51.City new signing. Arteta there. What a place to learn and what a man to
:19:52. > :20:01.learn under. Here's Borini. Rodwell. He might hit it. Took a deflection.
:20:02. > :20:06.Sunderland have a corner and a rare opportunity to try and unsettle
:20:07. > :20:11.Manchester City here. In goes the van Aanholt corner. There seemed to
:20:12. > :20:17.be a moment of hesitation before the clearing header came in from David
:20:18. > :20:22.Silva. Not cleared yet. Kone's strike block by Kolarov. Dee foe,
:20:23. > :20:28.Caballero with the save. He was onside, Jermaine Defoe. Sunderland
:20:29. > :20:38.very nearly got themselves level. He's level. It's a good save.
:20:39. > :20:48.Champions League qualifier coming up for Manchester City, two legs, the
:20:49. > :20:58.first of those coming mid next week. Sterling, did he keep the ball in
:20:59. > :21:01.play. ? --? He did. Wide. He is so lethal, Aguero, you expect him to
:21:02. > :21:07.turn and sweep it into the corner. Maybe just snatched at it a little
:21:08. > :21:22.bit. Not beaten yet, David Moyes' Sunderland. Borini. Rodwell, clever.
:21:23. > :21:26.Defoe, 1-1. Well, if you don't finish the opposition off, there is
:21:27. > :21:32.always the possibility that they will come back and bite you,
:21:33. > :21:42.especially if Jermaine Defoe is in their team. That is exactly what has
:21:43. > :21:47.happened. Definitely onside. Took up a great position. Got it out from
:21:48. > :21:56.under his feet, and then put it under the goalkeeper. 1-1. Not the
:21:57. > :22:02.first Manchester City manager to wear that expression. Every second
:22:03. > :22:10.that ticks by is encouragement for Sunderland.
:22:11. > :22:34.Manchester City are back in front. It may be that it was an own-goal.
:22:35. > :22:43.Driven across. It's hit McNair. Nothing he could do about it.
:22:44. > :22:46.Manchester City 2, Sunderland 1. David Moyes very interested now in
:22:47. > :22:59.what number the fourth official is going to hold up. Oh, that's a
:23:00. > :23:10.terrible clearance. Here he is. Can set up Delph. Great block, should
:23:11. > :23:24.have been a goal. Terrible mistake. Ignored Delph, Love made the block.
:23:25. > :23:34.Now van Aanholt. Knocked up towards Januzaj. McNair almost had the
:23:35. > :23:45.opportunity to make amends. The ball just accelerated away from him.
:23:46. > :23:51.Kaboul, Fernandinho across. It's a corner to Sunderland. Four minutes
:23:52. > :23:57.were indicated. Four have been played. City still living on their
:23:58. > :24:05.nerves, right at the end much here comes Mannone. Januzaj to take. It
:24:06. > :24:08.wasn't a very good corner. The whistle goes. Manchester City have
:24:09. > :24:17.won their first game under Pep Guardiola. It's finished City 2,
:24:18. > :24:22.Sunderland 1. I think we deserved our victory, of course. They played
:24:23. > :24:29.really well in defensive in the four. Amazing players, Januzaj, the
:24:30. > :24:32.second time, played good. I realise how difficult is the Premier League.
:24:33. > :24:35.The people say - it's so difficult the Premier League. The decision for
:24:36. > :24:38.the penalty itself wasn't particularly contentious. You
:24:39. > :24:41.weren't happy with what happened in the build-up to it? No, it's a
:24:42. > :24:46.corner kick. The goalkeeper touches it over the bar. It was at the start
:24:47. > :24:51.of the game. I think it's 30 second later they scored a goal. It was a
:24:52. > :24:55.poor decision. It was also the wrong decision, more importantly. We were
:24:56. > :25:00.disappointed. Only disappointed with the result. Not with how the players
:25:01. > :25:04.performed. If it was 2-1 we could have had a lot more goals. A lot of
:25:05. > :25:10.positives to take from the game. It was a great debut to remember for
:25:11. > :25:14.me. We showed our fans we're a team. We fight for each other. All the
:25:15. > :25:18.players run. That's what we're looking for at the beginning. That's
:25:19. > :25:23.why I'm so happy. It's the first look at Pep Guardiola's Manchester
:25:24. > :25:26.City. There were certain elements we have seen in his previous managerial
:25:27. > :25:32.clubs at Bayern Munich and Barcelona? The most fascinating
:25:33. > :25:38.aspect is the two full-backs. He is asking them how to play. Look at
:25:39. > :25:41.Sagna and Clichy. They are asked to outnumber the opposition in
:25:42. > :25:46.midfield. They have to be able to take the ball under pressure. With
:25:47. > :25:49.someone marking them. Look, we have never seen this style of play before
:25:50. > :25:55.in the Premier League. Fernandinho there is being asked to go into the
:25:56. > :25:58.defence, to start moves off. Look at the two full-backs in midfield. They
:25:59. > :26:02.have to be able to do this otherwise they won't get in the team receive
:26:03. > :26:05.the ball under pressure. They got away with it a bit today because
:26:06. > :26:09.they didn't play that well. There was a few passes that went astray.
:26:10. > :26:12.That's certainly understandable. Look at what they try to do here.
:26:13. > :26:18.Try to outnumber the opposition there. With the two full-backs in
:26:19. > :26:23.the middle. Sterling wide they are trying to give them width. When they
:26:24. > :26:27.lose possession this is what he's asking his goalkeeper to do. When
:26:28. > :26:31.Fernandinho is not there to support. He is asking his goalkeeper to do
:26:32. > :26:35.that. He didn't fancy Joe Hart to do that today. When they get through he
:26:36. > :26:39.wants them to be the keeper. We have seen that in Spain and Germany. It
:26:40. > :26:42.happened again. It's hard to believe that the full-backs, we didn't see
:26:43. > :26:46.that, we haven't seen that in the Premier League. It didn't quite work
:26:47. > :26:49.on this occasion. But, you have to be able to do better when you are in
:26:50. > :26:54.that position. They are new to it, as I said, they have never been
:26:55. > :26:58.asked to do that before. The passing has to be better. That was Clichy.
:26:59. > :27:01.This is Sagna. Simple past in the final third much they have to do it
:27:02. > :27:06.better. A simple throw from Sunderland. Out battle them there.
:27:07. > :27:11.Gap in between the two centre-halves, Kolarov and Stones is
:27:12. > :27:15.far too big much Stones is telling Sagna and Navias to cover his right
:27:16. > :27:19.hand side. I don't know what stones is am coulding out there. He can't
:27:20. > :27:24.vacate that area when the danger is behind him. Lovely ball from Rodwell
:27:25. > :27:29.into Defoe. They got away with it today. There has to be improve am.
:27:30. > :27:34.I'm sure there will be, it's early to criticise. There are aspects to
:27:35. > :27:38.work on. He went for Willy Caballero in goal, Ian, which Joe Hart was on
:27:39. > :27:43.the bench. Where does that leave the England goalkeeper? With a lot to
:27:44. > :27:46.think about. Coming off the Euros a couple of high-profile mistakes he
:27:47. > :27:50.made. He is at a stage in his career where he will have to suck this one
:27:51. > :27:55.up and get himself going again. I don't think he is afraid to get the
:27:56. > :27:59.hard work done. I personally don't think that Willy Caballero is a
:28:00. > :28:07.better goalkeeper than John Hartson. I think he has be to professional
:28:08. > :28:11.and get himself going again. First impressions of Sunderland over David
:28:12. > :28:16.Moyes 77% possession with four shots. Yes. They were organised.
:28:17. > :28:21.Kaboul and Kone were very good today. When you have a goalscorer
:28:22. > :28:24.like Jermaine Defoe and you keep yourself in the game. David Moyes
:28:25. > :28:30.will keep them more organised, you keep yourself in the game, you have
:28:31. > :28:34.a chance of nicking something. Defoe is key, keep him fit. He will score
:28:35. > :28:37.goals and give them a much better season.
:28:38. > :29:00.Ronald Koeman took charge of Everton for the first time
:29:01. > :29:02.Last season's title challengers, Spurs,
:29:03. > :29:18.Ronald Koeman takes control of his first Everton match, having admitted
:29:19. > :29:24.his transfer business is far from complete while those he does have at
:29:25. > :29:30.his disposal are not yet fully match fit. Hardly ideal preparation.
:29:31. > :29:34.Compounded further by niggling injuries for Seamus Coleman and
:29:35. > :29:43.Romelu Lukaku. Maarten Stekelenburg makes his debut in goal. Holgate
:29:44. > :29:52.makes his debut at right back. No such problems. Is. Dembelay is
:29:53. > :29:59.midway through a suspension. -- no such problems for Spurs. V Wanyama
:30:00. > :30:07.is that only debutant. His previous boss was Ronald Koeman. The hosts
:30:08. > :30:11.were beaten eight times here at Goodison Park last season. The
:30:12. > :30:15.visitors only lost on three occasions on their travels.
:30:16. > :30:22.Statistics which could suggest an away win might be the likeliest
:30:23. > :30:30.outcome today. Beaten to it by Barry.
:30:31. > :30:39.A tackle by Wanyama. A legally says Martin Atkinson. I got the ball,
:30:40. > :30:46.says Wanyama. No such thing says Martin Atkinson. A good delivery.
:30:47. > :30:51.All the way through and into the corner of the net. How often does
:30:52. > :30:57.that happen? A free kick guided into the area. No one gets a tad,
:30:58. > :31:04.including the goalkeeper. Fortuitous perhaps but the perfect start for
:31:05. > :31:09.the new era under Ronald Koeman. Not one player got a touch and it goes
:31:10. > :31:16.straight into the net. Ross Barkley with the first goal at Goodison Park
:31:17. > :31:21.this campaign. Gareth Barry into the path of Deulofeu. A lovely ball.
:31:22. > :31:30.Berkeley is arriving and hunting near the penalty spot. Deulofeu
:31:31. > :31:38.never quite got hold of it and never looked like he would get round Hugo
:31:39. > :31:44.Lloris. A watching brief from Romelu Lukaku.
:31:45. > :31:56.Just caught by Wanyama. Both players have gone down. It looks as though
:31:57. > :32:01.the Spurs man, who has been penalised, has come of the worst.
:32:02. > :32:07.Martin Atkinson says two V Wanyama, that is your final warning. Barkley
:32:08. > :32:14.again orchestrating from the set piece. That is a massive save. Hugo
:32:15. > :32:23.Lloris had to use all his lengthy frame. Spurs have a problem. Hugo
:32:24. > :32:47.Lloris has gestured he has a nickel. Vorm is the first substitute of the
:32:48. > :32:54.game. -- a nickel. The perfect ball for Mirallas. Deulofeu got to it. A
:32:55. > :33:00.good stop by Vorm. Deulofeu always going to be the quickest to the
:33:01. > :33:05.ball. Deulofeu closed in and made it impossible for him to get the ball
:33:06. > :33:07.around him. Right on time Everton could have doubled their grip on the
:33:08. > :33:17.contest. Having lost the last two games of
:33:18. > :33:23.last season, they are heading for three defeats in a row for the first
:33:24. > :33:30.time in almost four years if Spurs were to lose this one. Pochettino
:33:31. > :33:36.has already made a tactical change bringing on his new signing Janssen
:33:37. > :33:42.up top. A lot for Everton to think about as Lamela guides the ball into
:33:43. > :33:46.the corner of the net. Already the tactical change has reaped its
:33:47. > :33:53.rewards and Lamela has the Spurs equaliser. The ball goes out wide.
:33:54. > :33:59.Popped into the area and Lamela get in between Holgate and Jagielka to
:34:00. > :34:06.plant his header into the corner of Stekelenburg's goal. The best chance
:34:07. > :34:10.by some margin in this game. Plenty of time for either of these two
:34:11. > :34:33.sides to win it. It is all about hitting it. He lost
:34:34. > :34:38.it in his boot. Walker needs to find a way. The cross went out for the
:34:39. > :34:48.corner. Stekelenburg pulled it back in again. Not too many chances
:34:49. > :34:52.today, Spurs. There is a degree of concern among the Everton supporters
:34:53. > :34:58.that they might go and steal the victory. They almost do through
:34:59. > :35:04.Janssen. Stekelenburg is outstanding with the save. Wonderful goalkeeping
:35:05. > :35:11.from Stekelenburg. Janssen almost has his first goal in English
:35:12. > :35:16.football. He got 27 goals last season in Holland but Stekelenburg
:35:17. > :35:26.denies him a first in the English Premier League today. A fine stop.
:35:27. > :35:36.That is why there is such concern among the Evertonians. Since the
:35:37. > :35:41.equaliser, it has looked as though Spurs will be the likely winners of
:35:42. > :35:50.this match. Spurs have another corner. Still reflecting on that
:35:51. > :35:57.excellent save by Stekelenburg. Inside the last ten minutes at
:35:58. > :36:03.Goodison Park. It went all the way through to Rose. He claimed he was
:36:04. > :36:08.caught and Martin Atkinson agrees. A free kick right on the edge of the
:36:09. > :36:18.area. You just get the sense that Everton are hanging on and nothing
:36:19. > :36:22.more. Onto the near side and it hits the top of the netting. Stekelenburg
:36:23. > :36:27.always felt confident it will go on top of the net are not into it. The
:36:28. > :36:32.Everton supporters know they have a part to play in the remaining few
:36:33. > :36:35.minutes. The team has worked exceptionally hard today. The
:36:36. > :36:41.Everton supporters believe they deserve something from it. They are
:36:42. > :36:44.being stretched again by Lamela. The deflection is turned over by
:36:45. > :36:50.Stekelenburg for his second truly outstanding save. Lamela cannot
:36:51. > :37:00.believe it did not go in. Wonderful readjustment by the 33-year-old
:37:01. > :37:06.goalkeeper. Fabulous goalkeeping. Do you feel you deserve something from
:37:07. > :37:12.today? Yes, one point. We had chances in the first half to Gil the
:37:13. > :37:17.game before half-time. The first 45 minutes, the best chances were for
:37:18. > :37:24.Everton. In the second, the best word for Tottenham. It is a fair
:37:25. > :37:27.result. A few of your players had disappointing year as Annie had a
:37:28. > :37:37.poor end to the season last season. Did you have to lift spirits? --
:37:38. > :37:48.Euros. A team like us, we have had a lot of people involved in the Euros.
:37:49. > :37:53.We will have to show we play well. In the few weeks you have been with
:37:54. > :37:59.one crewman, what has changed? The closing down has stepped up a notch.
:38:00. > :38:03.-- Ronald Koeman. Fitness levels are not where he would like them to be
:38:04. > :38:09.but that is fine. We will work that on a daily basis. When the manager
:38:10. > :38:15.gets what he wants, we can obviously put in good performances. A
:38:16. > :38:20.competitive game. Everton were with three at the back and that worked in
:38:21. > :38:25.the first half. It worked very well for them in the first half will stop
:38:26. > :38:30.Tottenham did not live with them. They did not have the right answers.
:38:31. > :38:35.It could have been a lot worse at half-time. They could have got a
:38:36. > :38:36.second goal. They knew the full-backs were tried to push
:38:37. > :38:48.forward. They did this very well in the first
:38:49. > :38:55.half. Totten had a very good defence last year and it cannot be allowed
:38:56. > :39:04.to happen. The two centre halves were not getting tight. They got
:39:05. > :39:08.away with it on that occasion. Outfought by Deulofeu. He turns and
:39:09. > :39:16.twists him. They are in the full-back position. Mirallas was not
:39:17. > :39:21.tracked. Unfortunate and they got away with that. A long ball again.
:39:22. > :39:28.That was a 60, 70 yard ball in behind. They did it very well.
:39:29. > :39:34.Leighton Baines got tight on Walker. He was given no space whatsoever.
:39:35. > :39:41.This is the right-hand side. Rose was trying to get down the line and
:39:42. > :39:46.give a bit of widths. Time and again they go into these positions and it
:39:47. > :39:54.causes them problems. It could have been 2-0 before half-time.
:39:55. > :40:02.Pochettino changed it around in the second half. He brought on Janssen
:40:03. > :40:07.to give them more help. Harry Kane was anonymous in the first half. For
:40:08. > :40:11.the first time they started asking questions up the backside, running
:40:12. > :40:17.in behind. No one did that. Picking up the second balls. They have got
:40:18. > :40:21.men forward. Janssen has taken the pressure of Cain. He is not fighting
:40:22. > :40:26.three centre halves and they have another body to worry about. Lamela
:40:27. > :40:32.gave them widths. They were getting balls into the box. It worked
:40:33. > :40:36.perfectly for them. It is like Totten of last season asking
:40:37. > :40:42.questions. This is the goal. -- Tottenham.
:40:43. > :40:51.That is a brilliant ball. The desire from Lamela to get across the second
:40:52. > :40:56.half, that is brilliant. A great ball and a good header. Good
:40:57. > :41:00.understanding of Harry Kane and Janssen. The two centre forwards
:41:01. > :41:03.working together. They are stretching the full-backs of the
:41:04. > :41:07.Everton defence. They are asking different questions and putting
:41:08. > :41:12.pressure on the goal. Janssen had a chance. This is a very good save. He
:41:13. > :41:17.finds himself six yards out. He should score. A good touch that he
:41:18. > :41:24.should score. A draw was a fair result and a point each. We have
:41:25. > :41:26.seen last season because match champions, Manchester City and
:41:27. > :41:31.Totten put that they were all competitive last season. Who do you
:41:32. > :41:35.fancied to win the title? -- and Tottenham. It is open. I will
:41:36. > :41:45.probably go with City. They have new signings. I do not
:41:46. > :41:50.think I will go with Leicester City this season. I think Chelsea will
:41:51. > :41:56.run them close. We still have not seen Chelsea or Mantis to United. We
:41:57. > :42:03.have not seen Arsenal. -- Manchester United. A lot can happen between now
:42:04. > :42:11.and the end of the season. They will get better and improve. City or
:42:12. > :42:19.United. City, I think. You mentioned Arsenal briefly. Do not think they
:42:20. > :42:25.are title contenders? About Arsenal? I feel for Arsenal. Last season was
:42:26. > :42:28.a very good opportunity for them. They have not added to many to the
:42:29. > :42:33.squad. Oxlade-Chamberlain and Theo, we want them to do well. I am not
:42:34. > :42:37.sure with the strengthening of the other teams that Arsenal will be
:42:38. > :42:39.able to challenge continuously to overturn the teams that have made so
:42:40. > :42:42.many signings. In their two previous
:42:43. > :42:43.Premier League campaigns, Burnley have been relegated
:42:44. > :42:45.on both occasions. The Championship winners entertained
:42:46. > :42:47.Swansea whose manager, Francesco Guidolin, was given
:42:48. > :43:02.a two-year contract after guiding Gray is the only Burnley player
:43:03. > :43:07.making his Premier League deadly. His 23 goals helped by the Clarets
:43:08. > :43:11.to the championship title last season. Sean Dyche hoping he can
:43:12. > :43:16.find the top flight to his liking. A new phase in the Swansea line, a
:43:17. > :43:29.Spanish international has joined from Sevilla. Sigurdsson is only fit
:43:30. > :43:34.enough for the bench. Last time they were in the Premier League, Bernie
:43:35. > :43:54.only 14-macro matches. They hope this will be more successful. --
:43:55. > :44:04.Burnley only won for four matches. A big chance for the Spaniard. Four
:44:05. > :44:17.away wins last season. Not quite where he wants to put it. He does
:44:18. > :44:25.not quite prevent the corner. Swansea's first of the game.
:44:26. > :44:31.Routledge with the delivery. Trying to get the first bit away but more
:44:32. > :44:32.defending to do. He tries again. Maybe a chance for Burnley on the
:44:33. > :44:47.counter. Gray passed Norton and goes for
:44:48. > :44:55.goal. Blocked by Fabianski. Cork kshg had a clearance. Routledge,
:44:56. > :45:06.down for Barrow. Straight at the goalkeeper at the end, Andre Gray
:45:07. > :45:17.grey. This is Kingsley. Out by Keane. Swansea will settle for the
:45:18. > :45:23.corner. Everybody backburnly. Picked up Kingsley with a chance to cross
:45:24. > :45:27.here. Missed it. Put behind by Sam Vokes. Desperate defending there by
:45:28. > :45:35.the centre forward after one of the centre-halves missed it. Swansea's
:45:36. > :45:43.third corner. Routledge with it. This time it's off the line. Arfield
:45:44. > :45:47.with the clearance. Now it's Fernandez. Straight at Heaton. The
:45:48. > :45:55.whistle had already gone. Swansea close again there to breaking the
:45:56. > :45:58.deadlock. Back in the late 80s both these clubs were battling to stay in
:45:59. > :46:08.the Football League. Now they are playing in the richest league in the
:46:09. > :46:11.world. Lowton. Gray, being held up. It's not bothering him too much. He
:46:12. > :46:18.is taking on the Spaniard. Now he falls. He wins the free-kick. The
:46:19. > :46:29.card is coming out as well. Really good work that by Andre Gray grey.
:46:30. > :46:39.--. He is forced to bring him down and pick Upson a yellow. Kingsley's
:46:40. > :46:44.head. Burnley's corner. The left foot of Jones to try again.
:46:45. > :46:48.Goalkeeper couldn't get it. Neither could Michael Keane. What a chance
:46:49. > :46:56.for the centre-half to put Burnley in front. But of an atmosphere
:46:57. > :47:01.around Turf Moor now. It has been quiet throughout most of the
:47:02. > :47:06.afternoon. The fans sensing that their team might about to get a
:47:07. > :47:11.goal. Tees up for Vokes. Sits down nicely for him. Fab Pack with a fine
:47:12. > :47:16.save. Sam Vokes has never scored in the Premier League. Set up so
:47:17. > :47:22.invitingly for him here. Hit across it, Fabianski, at full stretch, with
:47:23. > :47:26.a very important stop. Whatever Sean Dyche said to his team at the break
:47:27. > :47:33.it has had the desired effect. Routledge. Desperate attempt to stop
:47:34. > :47:42.him in his tracks by Arfield. Routledge brings it away.
:47:43. > :47:49.Sigurdsson. It's a free-kick. Clumsy challenge by George Boyd. Sigurdsson
:47:50. > :47:57.will back himself, just off the bench. Around the wall. Awkward
:47:58. > :48:02.bounce for Heaton, but well saved by the goalkeeper. Sigurdsson brought
:48:03. > :48:08.on to carry more of a goal threat for Swansea. He immediately brings
:48:09. > :48:14.the best out of Tom Heaton. Cork's flick on. Over the bar by Fernandez.
:48:15. > :48:18.What a miss by the big Argentine. It looks easy from up here, but does it
:48:19. > :48:26.ever get any easier than that? Three-yards out. A gaping goal.
:48:27. > :48:31.Somehow, he's put it over the goal. The game is there for either team to
:48:32. > :48:44.win. The far side is Kingsley. Feeding Montero. Good ball. A
:48:45. > :48:48.header. In by Fer. Leroy Fer with his first Swansea goal. He might
:48:49. > :48:55.well have won the game for Swansea on the opening day. He brought on
:48:56. > :48:59.Montero to make a difference. The header was palmed away by Tom
:49:00. > :49:06.Heaton. Leroy Fer on hand to tap it in. If they're going to get anything
:49:07. > :49:11.on the opening day, it's going to be late and it's going to be dramatic
:49:12. > :49:18.for Burnley. Vokes. It will drop for Marney. Marney was caught by
:49:19. > :49:22.Fernandez. A yellow card for the Argentine. More importantly a
:49:23. > :49:31.free-kick in a dangerous position for Burnley. Summer sign. What an
:49:32. > :49:40.introduction this would be if he finds the net. A huge wall to beat.
:49:41. > :49:44.Gudmundsson for Burnley. Now Marney. That's on target. What a save,
:49:45. > :49:53.Fabianski. Then Vokes. Fabianski there again at the near-post.
:49:54. > :49:58.Fabianski has made some important saves this afternoon. None better
:49:59. > :50:04.than that one. Fabianski desperate to keep a clean sheet. We started a
:50:05. > :50:08.good game against a good team. Difficult ground, difficult game.
:50:09. > :50:13.But we are happy because this is important start. It's important
:50:14. > :50:19.victory. More confidence for the future. We gave a good account of
:50:20. > :50:22.ourselves today. The margins are tight in games and details are
:50:23. > :50:27.important. We gave away a soft goal overall. The second-half we gave a
:50:28. > :50:34.very good performance. It had a feeling it would be one goal that
:50:35. > :50:38.would settle it? Exactly. They created good chances, especially in
:50:39. > :50:44.the second-half, first 10-15 minutes. After that I think we
:50:45. > :50:48.created some chances with Montero coming in and delivered some good
:50:49. > :50:53.crosses. Yeah, in the end we were the ones who won the game. We needed
:50:54. > :50:58.a big decision. The foul on Keane when he has a header from two yards.
:50:59. > :51:03.His shirt is being pulled. We can see it. Frustrating. That's the way
:51:04. > :51:09.it goes. I missed that voice hef thinks they should have had a
:51:10. > :51:13.penalty, do you agree? I do. I know how important it is to him. Great
:51:14. > :51:19.move am to lose Leroy Fer. He is in front. He impeded him, pulled his
:51:20. > :51:23.shirt. How has he not seen that? You know, he's got to give that. That is
:51:24. > :51:28.a penalty. He's right to be as angry as he was at the end there. What do
:51:29. > :51:33.you think? I agree. He pulled him back. Cheers, mate. That's all
:51:34. > :51:39.right. Excellent start to the season for Swansea. Confidence boost, away
:51:40. > :51:43.win? I think so. It's a game Burnley would go into thinking it's a good
:51:44. > :51:49.team to play at the start of the season at our place. Swansea did
:51:50. > :51:56.very well. They kept it really, I don't know, Andre Gray, it didn't
:51:57. > :52:07.quite happen for him. Barrow, fantastic. He is very post i, going
:52:08. > :52:13.at people. Getting passed people. Llorente, top player. He doesn't
:52:14. > :52:17.need to beat him, Barrow to get the ball in. Routledge has to at least
:52:18. > :52:23.hit the target. They take him off. I was surprised. I don't know why they
:52:24. > :52:26.didn't start both of them. Montero was brilliant, like Leroy Fer said.
:52:27. > :52:30.Straight at them. He's in the team. He has to get that on target. He has
:52:31. > :52:37.the pedigree. He should get that on target. He goes again, goes at him.
:52:38. > :52:42.Can't believe he's not starting. The goalkeeper for me, I'm sorry, he has
:52:43. > :52:45.to do better. He has po push that further away. Swansea just did
:52:46. > :52:52.enough. Had a little bit more quality about them. Burnley need to
:52:53. > :52:57.spend a few quick don't they? Only spent ?3.5 million. They are in for
:52:58. > :53:01.Defoe. You would think with all that money coming into the Premier League
:53:02. > :53:04.they might loosen the purse strings a bit. You would have thought so.
:53:05. > :53:13.Two games coming your way on Match of the Day 2.
:53:14. > :53:27.Arsenal versus Liverpool is the commentary match on 5
:53:28. > :53:31.Also on the website you can play the Premier League predictor game
:53:32. > :53:38.Mo Farah, Greg Rutherford and Jess Ennis-Hill or perhaps even
:53:39. > :53:39.Katerina Johnson-Thompson go for gold in Rio.
:53:40. > :54:05.It's a special day for one of our team as well.
:54:06. > :54:11.Well, happy birthday. Thank you. Young man. I bought you a little
:54:12. > :54:21.present. Just in case Newcastle ever win the league! You should had them
:54:22. > :54:22.on. I'm not having your face anywhere near that area. Thank you
:54:23. > :54:29.very much. Here's a stat that might worry
:54:30. > :54:31.Crystal Palace fans. The last two teams to lose an FA Cup
:54:32. > :54:35.final have both been relegated Opponents West Brom kicked off
:54:36. > :54:44.with new owners after being bought These two had the same problem last
:54:45. > :54:49.season - goals. Rock bottom Aston Villa scored fewer. Club record
:54:50. > :54:55.signing Townsend should help Palace in that respect. Bolasie begins on
:54:56. > :54:58.the bench. Alan Pardew says that's for tactical reasons rather than
:54:59. > :55:03.anything to do with the speculation linking him with Everton. Rumours
:55:04. > :55:07.about Berahino's future are a tradition these days. With offers
:55:08. > :55:13.from Palace and Stoke said to be on the table, he starts today as does
:55:14. > :55:20.West Brom's summer signing so far, Matt Phillips. Evans with the early
:55:21. > :55:26.pass. Berahino on the chase. He is in behind Joe Ward here. Back neatly
:55:27. > :55:42.to Gardner. Early delivery. Not a bad one. Great save from Hennessey.
:55:43. > :55:52.Tipped away by Hennessey. Rondon has scored in his last two games for
:55:53. > :55:56.West Bromwich he was denied there by a splendid piece of work from Wayne
:55:57. > :56:02.Hennessey. Evans. Fletcher once more. Clipped towards Salomon
:56:03. > :56:09.Rondon. Trouble here for Palace, perhaps. Rondon. Berahino. Saido
:56:10. > :56:13.Berahino, one goal in his last 24 Premier League appearances. That was
:56:14. > :56:24.against Crystal Palace back in February. Zaha. Finding Lee. Jedinak
:56:25. > :56:32.in towards Wickham. A chance here for Wickham. Palace' best move of
:56:33. > :56:39.the match so far. Good from Jedinak. First touch from Wickham wasn't bad.
:56:40. > :56:51.The second was disappointing. Alan Pardew's sides won just two of their
:56:52. > :56:57.final 21 matches here's Lee. Palace have won it back well. Zaha with a
:56:58. > :57:05.chance to stretch his leg. Zaha. A top stop from Foster. Zaha! Wickham
:57:06. > :57:10.in there, too. West Brom smug it away. That brought the crowd to
:57:11. > :57:20.life. It's not been a game high on genuine chances. Wilfred Zaha with a
:57:21. > :57:33.wonderful opportunity there though. Phillips.
:57:34. > :57:42.Gardner's corner. It's not been dealt with. Away by Lee, just about.
:57:43. > :58:01.Dan trying to get it further clear. Hennessey gets a fist on it.
:58:02. > :58:14.West Brom's new owner in waiting isn't here today. The he 2,000 West
:58:15. > :58:20.Brom fans are have been giving free scarfs, funded by the club's
:58:21. > :58:25.prospective new owners. Lee advancing. Still Lee. Townsend wants
:58:26. > :58:32.it. He's going to have a crack. Chafrjed down. Townsend, again. Goal
:58:33. > :58:36.kick. Townsend always a danger when coming inside. West Brom had just
:58:37. > :58:42.enough bodies in the way though to deal with it. Dann looked like he
:58:43. > :58:51.was clipped by Berahino. Play on. Fletcher goes over. That will be a
:58:52. > :58:57.free-kick. Gardner's free-kick. Headed towards goal by Olsson. Just
:58:58. > :59:01.over the top. Swedish defender, only scored once last season. He wasn't
:59:02. > :59:16.far away from getting one on the opening day here. Dawson. Fletcher.
:59:17. > :59:25.Now, that was a foul on Dawson. West Brom will have a free-kick. McClean
:59:26. > :59:29.has six to aim for in the centre. Oh, he's found one of them. Salomon
:59:30. > :59:36.Rondon has put West Brom ahead with just over a quarter of an hour left
:59:37. > :59:42.to play. Whipped in by McClean. Rondon just guided it into the far
:59:43. > :59:48.corner. Excellent technique to use the pace of the delivery to beat
:59:49. > :59:52.Wayne Henessy. West Brom's top-scorer last season is off the
:59:53. > :59:58.mark on the opening day. Now, Jedinak. Space at a real premium.
:59:59. > :00:04.West Brom get so many behind the ball. Bolasie, trying to find a bit
:00:05. > :00:10.of room. Here's Bolasie again. Well, he thought he was tripped. So did
:00:11. > :00:18.the majority of Selhurst Park. Importantly, the referee didn't.
:00:19. > :00:24.Maybe just outside the area anyway. Was there contact here? All of West
:00:25. > :00:30.Brom's four away wins in the league last season were by a scoreline of
:00:31. > :00:35.1-0. They are closing in on another victory by that same scoreline
:00:36. > :00:40.today. Jedinak. Townsend. So congested in there. Townsend goes
:00:41. > :00:43.for goal. He forces a save out of Foster. Another frustrating
:00:44. > :00:46.afternoon in front of goal for Palace.
:00:47. > :00:50.Maybe a chance for Burnley on the counter.
:00:51. > :01:00.Very pleased. The players have worked very hard. It is nice to get
:01:01. > :01:04.the reward we did today. Solomon was given the number nine shirt today. I
:01:05. > :01:13.thought the lads alongside him played really well. Those two
:01:14. > :01:24.together will be a handful. I think you will see an even better Solomon
:01:25. > :01:28.Rondon. He looks stronger, he looks like he knows what it is all about.
:01:29. > :01:35.That was a great start. He does a great shift for the team and I think
:01:36. > :01:38.he will have a great season. There was a query about whether Bolasie
:01:39. > :01:42.will stay or not. He does not score enough goals. We need to bring in a
:01:43. > :01:48.couple of strikers, hopefully, who can do that. Those last two comments
:01:49. > :01:57.said everything. The difference between the sides were goal-scorers.
:01:58. > :02:03.In Rondon, you have to say, he does look full package. He looks strong.
:02:04. > :02:09.He looks a threat. You feel like he will bully the defenders. He has
:02:10. > :02:13.done brilliantly. You can see great movement.
:02:14. > :02:20.It is all about his strength. He has done well. He needs to get that on
:02:21. > :02:24.target for that this is all about the ball. I cannot believe Palace
:02:25. > :02:30.have no one in front. That is a great ball in from James McClean.
:02:31. > :02:33.That is super stuff. I think he will probably get more goals this season
:02:34. > :02:42.because he does have a swagger and he does look like he is ready to go.
:02:43. > :02:49.By contrast, Crystal Palace. They desperately need a goal-scorer. I
:02:50. > :02:55.know they have brought in Townsend. Five goals last season was the top
:02:56. > :03:03.scorer. They only one two of the 19 games last season. It is not good
:03:04. > :03:06.enough. The value of whether it is Christian Benteke or Saido Berahino
:03:07. > :03:10.is going up by the hour. Unless they get a goal-scorer, I think they will
:03:11. > :03:19.be in a relegation battle. Will be a long, hard season for them. -- it
:03:20. > :03:23.will be. He needs to score. Another clean sheet for Tony Pulis full
:03:24. > :03:28.study is brilliant at organising. That is what he does. -- he is
:03:29. > :03:31.brilliant. Middlesbrough are back
:03:32. > :03:34.in the Premier League for the first Stoke, who've not won on the opening
:03:35. > :03:38.day for six seasons, provided the opposition
:03:39. > :03:49.at the Riverside Stadium. Negredo scored 23 goals at
:03:50. > :03:57.Manchester City to help them to the title. No such lofty ambitions for
:03:58. > :04:07.Middlesbrough. Victor Valdes starts as first choice goalkeeper. The Boro
:04:08. > :04:14.defence conceded only eight goals here in the championship last
:04:15. > :04:25.season. Shay Given plays in goal. He had alone at the Riverside three
:04:26. > :04:27.seasons ago. -- a loan. An awkward one for Friend. The ball went very
:04:28. > :04:51.high in the air. Up by de Roon. Making the rounds on the overlap
:04:52. > :04:58.will stop a deep ball in towards Negredo. Alvaro Negredo has got
:04:59. > :05:04.their first goal since returning to the Premier League. The cross very
:05:05. > :05:09.deep. Negredo able to get in on the end of the return from Gaston
:05:10. > :05:13.Ramirez. There are two defenders in attendance. It comes off his
:05:14. > :05:24.shoulder. What a start on their return to the top division!
:05:25. > :05:37.Trying to get away. The challenge to win it back for Middlesbrough.
:05:38. > :05:49.Friend keeping pace with his team-mate. Up against Bardsley,
:05:50. > :05:52.Friend has got away from him. Blocked twice by Shawcross. In by
:05:53. > :06:17.Downing. A lovely run from Ramires. Just off
:06:18. > :06:24.the outside of the post. A little burst of pace. Shawcross to be
:06:25. > :06:36.eaten. Given beaten. Just a fraction too wide. -- beaten.
:06:37. > :06:44.The challenge was successful at the expense of a corner kick. Just over
:06:45. > :06:51.five minutes plus stoppage time remaining in the first half.
:06:52. > :06:57.Shaqiri's corner. Bauer bears and all sorts of pressure. Headed away.
:06:58. > :07:03.Only as far as we learn. The whistle has gone anyway. So close to an
:07:04. > :07:04.equaliser. All sorts of bumping and barging. Ramires with the final
:07:05. > :07:16.header away. Got a shot away and there was a
:07:17. > :07:22.deflection off a Stoke player last fall. Into the third of the three
:07:23. > :07:27.added minutes. Of the frame of the goal and away. As the corner comes
:07:28. > :07:32.in, everyone is expecting a longer delivery. It smacks into the frame
:07:33. > :07:34.of the goal. Middlesbrough so close to ending the first half with a
:07:35. > :07:53.second goal. Three in red around him. The referee
:07:54. > :08:03.has brought playback for a free kick. He was looking to see if there
:08:04. > :08:06.was an advantage for Stoke. He thought about blowing his whistle
:08:07. > :08:11.and then played the advantage am brought it back. Half a dozen
:08:12. > :08:15.Middlesbrough defender is making up the wall. I'm out to vitch would be
:08:16. > :08:29.the favourite to take. -- Arnautovic. It cars into the bottom
:08:30. > :08:32.corner from the man who scored a wonderful goal for his country in
:08:33. > :08:39.the European champion ships in the summer has brought Stoke back on
:08:40. > :08:45.level terms. Shaqiri with it. Over the war and right into the corner.
:08:46. > :08:52.Middlesbrough's lead has finally gone. -- over the wall. 1-1. I am
:08:53. > :09:05.told that Shaqiri was going to be replaced by Jon Walters and, having
:09:06. > :09:11.scored the goal, he stays on and it is Diouf who goes off instead.
:09:12. > :09:18.Nugent making a run, trying to stay onside. That delicate cross. The
:09:19. > :09:22.header was straight at the Shay Given from Stewart Downing. Downing,
:09:23. > :09:25.at the top of the picture, making the run. Not too much trouble for
:09:26. > :09:48.Shay Given. That foul by Barragan. A yellow card
:09:49. > :09:54.for the reaction of Arnautovic towards referee. Stoke with the free
:09:55. > :09:59.kick into the last few seconds. Shaqiri drives it across. Behind for
:10:00. > :10:03.a corner kick which comes off Friend. It is the last action of the
:10:04. > :10:13.afternoon here at the Riverside. Middlesbrough defended really well.
:10:14. > :10:18.There was a header at the end in the last seconds into the box. I think
:10:19. > :10:23.Friend made a fantastic defending saved when he was waiting to header
:10:24. > :10:27.it into the net. They defended manfully and, in the end, we got at
:10:28. > :10:34.least a point, which is the least we deserve. I think everyone here in
:10:35. > :10:49.Middlesbrough was waiting for this day. The performance, the attitude.
:10:50. > :10:55.How we played as a team. Is it right you were about to substitute Shaqiri
:10:56. > :10:59.as he was about to step up and take the free kick? We had a bit of a
:11:00. > :11:04.debate. We were going to do that and then we changed our minds. I had to
:11:05. > :11:10.check with the coaches but I think it was a wrong decision to take me
:11:11. > :11:15.off. Excellent. In many ways, a good point for Middlesbrough, coming up
:11:16. > :11:21.to get them going. The good away point for Stoke as well. They have
:11:22. > :11:25.had a big turnover of players at Middlesbrough. They have brought in
:11:26. > :11:31.nine new players. It will take time for everyone to gel. Negredo got his
:11:32. > :11:36.goal. He struggled at city and that should give him confidence. Next
:11:37. > :11:41.week, rivals Sunderland. The good point for them. There were new
:11:42. > :11:47.guidelines to referees this season to try to stop dissent of players,
:11:48. > :11:51.which we would all approve of. Automatic yellow cards any sign of
:11:52. > :11:56.dissent whatsoever. In this game there were two incidents we saw
:11:57. > :12:00.which actually happened. The referee would have been in to speak to
:12:01. > :12:05.players. Shay Given notice you cannot do that. He has around 25, 30
:12:06. > :12:13.yards to confront the referee and complain. I cannot understand
:12:14. > :12:19.Arnautovic. He has the free kick. You cannot do that now. That is a
:12:20. > :12:24.booking for nothing. He has the free kick. They need to keep it up. I am
:12:25. > :12:32.looking for the referees to carry on what we saw in the Euros. I thought
:12:33. > :12:37.the standard of refereeing their words good. I hope that carries on
:12:38. > :12:44.into the Premier League. Did you get booked for dissent? Just the ones.
:12:45. > :12:47.We would like to see it quashed? We do not want to see it anymore. It
:12:48. > :12:53.makes the jobs easier for referee. Two more managers making
:12:54. > :12:55.their Premier League bow were Southampton's Claude Puel,
:12:56. > :12:57.who joined from Nice following Ronald Koeman's departure,
:12:58. > :12:59.and Watford's Walter Mazzarri, Tony Husband was at St Mary's
:13:00. > :13:12.Stadium. New managers, new formations but a
:13:13. > :13:16.few new faces on the pit. The Southampton manager Hans debut to
:13:17. > :13:23.Norwich winger Nathan Redmond. His conversion a striker see him there
:13:24. > :13:29.should receive him partner Shane Long up front. There were five
:13:30. > :13:38.summer signings. Troy Deeney agreed a new contract.
:13:39. > :13:45.The referee gets this game under way. It is the first time since 2004
:13:46. > :13:50.that two new Premier League managers have faced off in their first game.
:13:51. > :13:53.Straightaway Southampton will have a free kick for what was a very high
:13:54. > :14:13.challenge on James Ward-Prowse. Tadic. He nearly saw the ball turned
:14:14. > :14:16.into his own net. Van Dijk on the follow-up just wide. He was
:14:17. > :14:22.horrified to see one of his own players turn it back to his
:14:23. > :14:27.own-goal. Seventh Frenchman to manage in the Premier League. There
:14:28. > :14:39.be ha mixed success for some of his fellow countrymen. This is Ighalo.
:14:40. > :14:51.Up against Targett. Deeney lurking at the back. Header into a dangerous
:14:52. > :15:00.area. Capoue slams it into the net. Inside 10 minutes, Watford lead at
:15:01. > :15:05.St Mary's. He just found the space. Dangerous header down. They didn't
:15:06. > :15:09.pick up the run of Capoue. It's his first goal for Watford. It's their
:15:10. > :15:26.first goal of the season. What a start. Tadic, out wide. This is
:15:27. > :15:33.Tadic. Cedric outside him. On his own for the mope. This is better.
:15:34. > :15:37.Can he find a cross? He can. He finds Shane Long at the back post,
:15:38. > :15:45.to head just wide. The best we have seen from Southampton. His shirt was
:15:46. > :16:01.being held a little. It's one, it's two. Long with the header wide.
:16:02. > :16:08.Leading Inter Milan in 2014. Targett's cross. Headed away. This
:16:09. > :16:17.is Redmond to follow up. Well, they are starting to see some encouraging
:16:18. > :16:20.signs from Claude Puel's men. One touch with the control, second touch
:16:21. > :16:32.with the shot. Just wide of the target.
:16:33. > :16:39.Tadic, down the middle. This is Nathan Redmond now for Southampton.
:16:40. > :16:44.On to his favoured right foot here. He tries a shot. Oh, he's only just
:16:45. > :16:55.wide. Took a touch. Southampton have a corner. Tadic with the corner for
:16:56. > :17:00.Southampton. Out goms Gomes. This is Redmond. Delayed it. He win as
:17:01. > :17:06.corner. Should he have hit it first time? Southampton have pressed and
:17:07. > :17:15.pressed. Is the equaliser on its way? Again, Gomes there. Again, it's
:17:16. > :17:20.Redmond. It's 1-1. Debut goal for Nathan Redmond. Southampton level. A
:17:21. > :17:25.replay of the previous corner, really. Up goes Gomes. Gets the
:17:26. > :17:31.touch. Redmond this time goes first time with the volley. He gets his
:17:32. > :17:38.first goal for Southampton. Right in the corner, 1-1. There are still two
:17:39. > :17:39.in the middle. Deeney is lurking at the back. Southampton concede the
:17:40. > :17:53.corner. Inside the six-yard box. Up for the
:17:54. > :18:03.header. Dangerous in these situations. Southampton on the
:18:04. > :18:13.break. A foot race, he caught him and brought him down. Now, he has a
:18:14. > :18:18.decision to make. It's red. The break away. At this point you fancy
:18:19. > :18:29.the pace of Shane Long. Ben Watson knew that. It was clinical and it
:18:30. > :18:42.drew a straight red. Targett with an overlap. Austin is up there.
:18:43. > :18:49.Targett, for Redmond. He's got one. Can't find the winner quite yet.
:18:50. > :18:54.Frustration showing. It's set up for him. Another chance spurned by
:18:55. > :19:01.Claude Puel's men. Watford worked hard to stop us, going down to
:19:02. > :19:05.10-men. We were hoping to get off to waning start at home. It wasn't to
:19:06. > :19:10.be. Postsives to build upon. We worked hard and deserved this point
:19:11. > :19:15.because we played one less in the last 10-15 minutes. We show our
:19:16. > :19:19.heart and deserve it. Are you pleased with Redmond that you pushed
:19:20. > :19:23.him into a striking position in pre-season it worked for you, at
:19:24. > :19:28.least today? Yes. It's interesting for him and interesting for the team
:19:29. > :19:37.also. I said that this player can make... Can play a good position as
:19:38. > :19:39.striker. The first official game it was good team for the confidence to
:19:40. > :19:57.score tonight. I'm satisfied in general, but I
:19:58. > :20:02.think that in the first half, especially we could have ended the
:20:03. > :20:08.game and I will speak with the players about this situation, but
:20:09. > :20:12.I'm happy. Honours even once again. Quite a few draws today. Saints sold
:20:13. > :20:17.a few, lost a manager, brought in another manager. Got a few new
:20:18. > :20:20.players as well. Nathan Redmond will catch the headlines because of that
:20:21. > :20:25.goal. How did you think he did? I thought he did well today. Positive.
:20:26. > :20:29.?10 million from Norwich much he has been pushed further forward. He got
:20:30. > :20:33.six goals. He is clever here. He didn't go in the melee. Hung out.
:20:34. > :20:38.Perhaps should hit the target. Again here. His first thought is positive.
:20:39. > :20:43.Decent touch. Company he get into the back four? A give and go. All
:20:44. > :20:49.right, it didn't work here. But, he was clever in the game. Cut inside.
:20:50. > :20:53.Right foot. Very good effort. A very, very good save. That's his
:20:54. > :20:58.right foot. This here is a brilliant finish. Left foot. So clever. Could
:20:59. > :21:04.easily have smashed that over the bar, but it's cultured finish with
:21:05. > :21:08.that left foot. That is not an easy finish, I promise you. This is
:21:09. > :21:12.unlucky. Half a yard offside. Again, withes had left foot. As you say, he
:21:13. > :21:17.doesn't quite time the run right. But, it's a good finish. He's going
:21:18. > :21:22.to have to perform because of the players that Southampton have lost
:21:23. > :21:28.this season, in Marney, and Wanyama - Can they keep doing it they lose
:21:29. > :21:32.managers, managers and best players and do better each season. This
:21:33. > :21:35.season they will find it tough to do better than what they did last year.
:21:36. > :21:41.I wouldn't expect them to finish higher than six, what they did last
:21:42. > :21:47.year. Ben Watson, red card. Yeah. Not too much to argue about. I don't
:21:48. > :21:53.think so. Look at Shane Long. He is flying. He is saying that he was
:21:54. > :21:57.there. He wouldn't have caught him. He was away there. He has to go for
:21:58. > :22:09.that. Unfortunately, Ben. Right decision. Yes. No complaint. The
:22:10. > :22:13.manager doesn't speak good enough English yet to do interviews they
:22:14. > :22:18.did well under Quique Sanches Flores? From everything I heard he
:22:19. > :22:22.wanted to leave. What you have to say, with Watford, with Troy Deeney
