Hello and welcome to the first midweek Match of the Day of this | :00:44. | :00:49. | |
season and it is well worth staying up for. Ten Premier League games on | :00:50. | :00:55. | |
the way. Alan Shearer and Phil Neville ready to get stuck in. We | :00:56. | :01:00. | |
start at the Riverside. No team has scored fewer goals than his lot, no | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
team has scored more goals than his plot. | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
COMMENTATOR: Simon Mignolet is back for Premier Liverpool, playing his | :01:10. | :01:16. | |
first Premier League game for months. Alvaro Negredo is fit again. | :01:17. | :01:28. | |
Traore back into service. Klavan partners Dejan Lovren for the first | :01:29. | :01:30. | |
time since they beat Burnley. Negredo did well, and now here is | :01:31. | :01:43. | |
Traore to run Adam Milner. Milner showed it wide, and then pushed into | :01:44. | :01:49. | |
him. Didn't need to make the foul, there was cover already there. In | :01:50. | :01:56. | |
towards Gibson. Mignolet had to save. Some concern on the Liverpool | :01:57. | :02:03. | |
bench that Gibson was allowed to win it. Milner has got forward again on | :02:04. | :02:17. | |
the left-hand side. Aimed at Origi. Seen by Forshaw, working hard for | :02:18. | :02:25. | |
Middlesbrough. Here is Mane. On the half term, back to Mane. Clayton got | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
a vital challenge in. Dangerous play by Traore on the edge of his own | :02:31. | :02:33. | |
penalty area, twisting inside, getting caught. He thought he was | :02:34. | :02:38. | |
fouled, the referee having none of it. Look how quickly Middlesbrough | :02:39. | :02:44. | |
close any kind of space. Lallana into Mane, sees the run of Clyne. | :02:45. | :02:50. | |
The keeper thought about coming, didn't, and Lallana heads Liverpool | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
ahead. 28 minutes gone. It's his best scoring season now from | :02:56. | :03:00. | |
Liverpool. Patience pays off. Too much space for Clyne, and should the | :03:01. | :03:03. | |
keeper have come, should he have stayed? Caught in no man's land. | :03:04. | :03:09. | |
Lallana arriving at the far post, nodded in. Soft goal from | :03:10. | :03:17. | |
Middlesbrough's point of view. Mane. Middlesbrough have steadied | :03:18. | :03:25. | |
themselves. Negredo in the middle. Good save from Minera, might have | :03:26. | :03:28. | |
been anticipating the cross, stepped across, good, strong hand, good | :03:29. | :03:39. | |
goalkeeping. Here is Chambers. It's a Middlesbrough free kick. No real | :03:40. | :03:45. | |
need to commit the foul, because they had numbers around Traore, he | :03:46. | :03:53. | |
was going nowhere. In comes the free kick, looking for Gibson. Out to | :03:54. | :04:00. | |
Clayton. Absolutely decked Lovren. He's smiling because it hit him in | :04:01. | :04:05. | |
the head, he claiming, in the face. His hands were down. Didn't hit him | :04:06. | :04:16. | |
in the face, more in the midriff. Barragan slips it to Traore. Negredo | :04:17. | :04:27. | |
in the middle. He looks for Fischer. Coming in behind is Forshaw! And | :04:28. | :04:30. | |
that's a good block again. West move of the game from Middlesbrough. The | :04:31. | :04:35. | |
pace of Traore, they need to get him on the ball. Off Lallana. | :04:36. | :04:44. | |
Origi. Here is Mane. Is this the Liverpool's second goal? It could be | :04:45. | :04:54. | |
so crucial. Off the post. And side netting. It did so well, carried it | :04:55. | :05:04. | |
into the box, hit the woodwork. Origi, from the rebound, put it | :05:05. | :05:09. | |
wide. 2-0 at half-time and it would have been game over, I think. Mane | :05:10. | :05:20. | |
has too much space from Chambers, could this be two? Couple of | :05:21. | :05:25. | |
opportunities, Mane, to put the game to bed. | :05:26. | :05:40. | |
Origi. To the dead-ball line, lifts the cross, cushioned header down, | :05:41. | :06:02. | |
Mane... He's missed another one. This was the first chance he had in | :06:03. | :06:15. | |
this second-half period, from a tight angle difficult chance, that. | :06:16. | :06:19. | |
And he was quickly smothered for the second opportunity. Three times now | :06:20. | :06:24. | |
Sadio Mane has had opportunities to seal the win. | :06:25. | :06:29. | |
Clyne. Firmino back in the middle. It comes to Mane, big shout from him | :06:30. | :06:42. | |
for handball by Chambers. And maybe Middlesbrough can break. Negredo | :06:43. | :06:51. | |
turned into Klavan. May have been offside. Firmino's ball, hit enter | :06:52. | :06:59. | |
Chambers, the arm is down by his side. Good decision from the | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
referee, that's not a penalty. Mane, Clyne. Mane, round the corner. | :07:05. | :07:13. | |
Lallana gave it back, the referee playing on, Origi! Good use of the | :07:14. | :07:19. | |
advantage rule, and Divock Origi gets a first goal in five games. | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
What they run he's on, and Liverpool have the crucial second goal. | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
Middlesbrough were pressing. Liverpool's play was controlled. | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
There was an attempt at the foul, the referee says plays on. Clipped | :07:34. | :07:37. | |
into Divock Origi. And he swept it in. Got gold side, and from close | :07:38. | :07:43. | |
range, using such fluid form, not going to miss from there. Liverpool | :07:44. | :07:55. | |
have had 70% of possession. Mane come skipping away, there. So much | :07:56. | :08:01. | |
pace. That was rather rudimentary from Gibson. Origi, it's Lallana, | :08:02. | :08:07. | |
it's another from Liverpool, and another good piece of refereeing. | :08:08. | :08:11. | |
Once again Jon Moss has allowed the play to go on and once again Lallana | :08:12. | :08:15. | |
has popped up with a vital goal. What a good season he is having. | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
This is where Gibson fouls his man. Play on. Origi with the cross, picks | :08:22. | :08:26. | |
his man, and Lallana shovelled it in. 3-0. Now can Mane get the goal | :08:27. | :08:44. | |
he craves? One of the most commanding away performances by any | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
Premier League side this season. All smiles for Liverpool. A really | :08:50. | :08:52. | |
professional job done on Middlesbrough tonight. The best kind | :08:53. | :08:57. | |
of defence is keep the ball. We did it much better second half. Finished | :08:58. | :09:04. | |
more often. We had a lot of opportunities in around the box. | :09:05. | :09:10. | |
Everybody around the stadium was thinking, OK, maybe find somebody | :09:11. | :09:13. | |
who shoots the ball. They were much better than us. They showed they are | :09:14. | :09:19. | |
a really good team. It's the first time we couldn't compete against one | :09:20. | :09:23. | |
team because they were really, really good. We tried our best. I | :09:24. | :09:28. | |
can't say anything about the players because my players have done an | :09:29. | :09:33. | |
amazing job at today was impossible because they were a brilliant team. | :09:34. | :09:37. | |
What has the manager done for you in tens of goal-scoring, because this | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
is your best season scoring for Liverpool? I don't think he's done | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
anything, really. I just feel like I'm arriving later and getting a few | :09:46. | :09:52. | |
more chances. But it's not about who scores the goals. Everyone in the | :09:53. | :09:56. | |
team has been chipping in so far this season. As long as we are | :09:57. | :10:00. | |
getting the three points that all I care about, really. STUDIO: Really | :10:01. | :10:06. | |
big game for Adam Levine. Looking at their last four games, they'd only | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
picked up five points, they needed something from this game. They did, | :10:12. | :10:16. | |
absolutely. The manager changed the goalkeeper, broad Mignolet back in | :10:17. | :10:19. | |
but that was not the story tonight, Adam Lallana was the story. They had | :10:20. | :10:24. | |
to win after recent results. Adam Lallana, six goals and six assists | :10:25. | :10:29. | |
this season. He's said he doesn't think the manager has changed his | :10:30. | :10:31. | |
game too much, I think he definitely has. He's certainly given him more | :10:32. | :10:37. | |
licence to roam and get forward. Look at him getting into these | :10:38. | :10:40. | |
positions, breaking his neck to get into the six yard box, hell of a | :10:41. | :10:44. | |
ball and a brilliant, brilliant header. The furthest man forward | :10:45. | :10:48. | |
here, no centre forward ahead of him. The vision, he has a look to | :10:49. | :10:54. | |
pick out Origi and puts it on a plate for him. Did ball across and | :10:55. | :10:58. | |
good finish. I said about him getting into the box, you want is to | :10:59. | :11:02. | |
be involved, arms in the air, screaming for it. Left footed | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
finish. He was brilliant tonight as he has been for the last part of the | :11:08. | :11:12. | |
season. Set it up nicely for the Merseyside derby against Everton at | :11:13. | :11:16. | |
the weekend. Middlesbrough have been tight at the back, only the second | :11:17. | :11:20. | |
time this season they've conceded three goals. Liverpool can do that | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
with their forward players and movement. The biggest concern is | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
scoring goals. The next game against Swansea, they have two show more | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
going forward and start scoring more goals. Swansea and Burnley to come | :11:32. | :11:38. | |
for Middlesbrough. To the Stadium Of Light where bottom of table | :11:39. | :11:40. | |
Sunderland faced a Chelsea side looking to strengthen their side | :11:41. | :11:45. | |
Ellie hold on top spot. A special moment for a five-year old cancer | :11:46. | :11:49. | |
sufferer before the game. Fulfilled his dream of scoring for Sunderland. | :11:50. | :11:52. | |
Perfect penalty past Asmir Begovic. COMMENTATOR: Used the words brave | :11:53. | :12:02. | |
and bright in football. Radley Lowry gives them real meaning. We wish him | :12:03. | :12:07. | |
and his family all the love in the world for the weeks and months | :12:08. | :12:15. | |
ahead. He is tonight's real star. Four Sunderland changes. Fabio | :12:16. | :12:17. | |
Borini plays for the first time since August against the club he | :12:18. | :12:20. | |
started with and that he has scored against the last four times he has | :12:21. | :12:26. | |
faced with Sunderland. In an ideal world David Moyes wouldn't be | :12:27. | :12:28. | |
bringing him back from his groin injury quite so soon. Two Chelsea | :12:29. | :12:33. | |
changes. Willian for Eden Hazard who is out with a knock to the knee. | :12:34. | :12:38. | |
Cesc Fabregas replaces Nemanja Matic against the club he scored against | :12:39. | :12:42. | |
four times for Arsenal, three goals coming at the Stadium Of Light. | :12:43. | :12:50. | |
Jones will beat Pedro to it comfortably. Jones with the cross. | :12:51. | :12:59. | |
Cross stroke shot. Wasn't far away from flying in. Bright, positive run | :13:00. | :13:06. | |
from the Sunderland full-back. There's a great noise around the | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
ground. Sunderland are rising to this. | :13:11. | :13:20. | |
Januzaj went to goal. Took up a lovely position. Well found by | :13:21. | :13:31. | |
Denayer. By the time he was ready to take on the shop he had three around | :13:32. | :13:41. | |
him. Fabregas. Pedro holds off Kirchhoff. Diego Costa is free here. | :13:42. | :13:47. | |
Able to take it. The flag is up. Saved by Pickford anyway. But the | :13:48. | :13:54. | |
goal would not have stood. All in a day's work for the 22-year-old. | :13:55. | :13:59. | |
Nipping in front of O'Shea. Willian to be right. Fabregas! Brilliantly | :14:00. | :14:24. | |
well taken. It's more or less the first clear sight of goal they've | :14:25. | :14:29. | |
been able to engineer. It all started with that miscued header | :14:30. | :14:32. | |
that allowed can take to knock it down to eight team-mate -- Kante. It | :14:33. | :14:44. | |
looked like it was on for Weir to score -- for Willian. You think that | :14:45. | :14:49. | |
the momentum is lost. Fabregas getting his first of the season in | :14:50. | :14:51. | |
the Premier League. 0- one. Superb control from Costa. He looks | :14:52. | :15:05. | |
like he was fouled just outside the box. John O'Shea tapped his ankle. A | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
booking for O'Shea. What a chance for Chelsea with what will be just | :15:15. | :15:19. | |
about the last kick of the half. Willian! Hitting the stanchion and | :15:20. | :15:26. | |
rocketing out towards the corner flag. It is the last kick of the | :15:27. | :15:31. | |
half. I don't think there has been a ball struck as hard as that all | :15:32. | :15:36. | |
half. Note changes made by either boss in the half-time interval -- no | :15:37. | :15:48. | |
changes. Up towards Defoe. On the right there is help, and there is | :15:49. | :15:56. | |
Januzaj! Saved by Courtois. Is the first time I've had to say that | :15:57. | :16:00. | |
tonight. Just about the first thing that Courtois has had to do. | :16:01. | :16:10. | |
A burst of pace from the Brazilian, Willian. A big deflection against | :16:11. | :16:19. | |
the bar. Pickford was beaten. It came off Djilobodji. Another day, | :16:20. | :16:29. | |
that goes under the bar. Losing concentration for a second, Kone. | :16:30. | :16:33. | |
Will it be costly because Diego Costa has given O'Shea the slip? | :16:34. | :16:38. | |
Really good run and a good save by Pickford. A way by Djilobodji. A | :16:39. | :16:52. | |
good bit of clearing work done by Djilobodji. | :16:53. | :17:07. | |
Moses beating Larsson. Moses' shot looks like it had beaten Pickford | :17:08. | :17:12. | |
too. Flashing past the post. David Luiz, he was just caught by | :17:13. | :17:27. | |
Januzaj has he played it forward. On both Chelsea with Willian. He's | :17:28. | :17:33. | |
going to go for goal. -- on goal Chelsea. Another one flashing past. | :17:34. | :17:39. | |
Chelsea might rue two or three attacks that have gone without | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
reward. There's devotion for you, a night off and he's still at the | :17:45. | :17:49. | |
game. It that or he gets discount on a Wednesday! -- either that. Defoe! | :17:50. | :18:03. | |
He managed to get across David Luiz and met the ball first. Bradley | :18:04. | :18:11. | |
staying just about the wake, write to the end. He's a fighter. Already | :18:12. | :18:17. | |
played a minute of those that have been added. In comes Moses with a | :18:18. | :18:30. | |
clattering. He took the ball, he didn't half go in at pace against a | :18:31. | :18:34. | |
van Aanholt. Chelsea will pull everybody back to defend this sev | :18:35. | :18:35. | |
Larsson free kick. Going to come for van Aanholt, who | :18:36. | :18:50. | |
hits it! What a save by Courtois. That could be a superstar that | :18:51. | :19:00. | |
preserves two points for Chelsea. Van Aanholt thought he'd snatched a | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
draw. Ten wins in a row for Antonio Conte's table topping Blues. Playing | :19:06. | :19:13. | |
such good football, such a top performance. We don't kill games | :19:14. | :19:17. | |
enough. It's a shame because the results may be don't show what | :19:18. | :19:24. | |
happened on the pitch. But we are satisfied, fantastic three points | :19:25. | :19:29. | |
and we'll keep going. We kept at it, there was always a chance we would | :19:30. | :19:35. | |
steal a goal. Two great saves, one from van Aanholt and one from | :19:36. | :19:41. | |
Januzaj. That what he's there to do and why everybody thinks so highly | :19:42. | :19:44. | |
of him. I'm pleased, we must continue in this way. Important not | :19:45. | :19:50. | |
to concede a goal. Creating the chance to score, to score a goal and | :19:51. | :19:53. | |
killed the game. Row the next game is a big game for | :19:54. | :20:11. | |
us and every game is a big one and Watford is a big game for us. I | :20:12. | :20:16. | |
prefer my players don't look at the table and be focused on the next | :20:17. | :20:21. | |
game in three days. It's against Crystal Palace. A tough game. We | :20:22. | :20:29. | |
must prepare very well to try to have a very good Christmas. I think | :20:30. | :20:34. | |
he will have a good Christmas, the Chelsea machine keeps rolling on. | :20:35. | :20:38. | |
Fabregas is interesting because he was out of the team for a while, | :20:39. | :20:44. | |
seven games without a minute, coming back against Manchester City and | :20:45. | :20:47. | |
another great performance. He scored the winning goal but in the free | :20:48. | :20:50. | |
games he's been involved in, setting up a goal for Costa against City, | :20:51. | :20:56. | |
became an against West Brom and had a hand in the goal and he played a | :20:57. | :20:59. | |
part today. Poor defending from Sunderland. Kone going to the | :21:00. | :21:06. | |
ground, out of the game, O'Shea out of the ground. Fabregas doesn't | :21:07. | :21:09. | |
blast it, he strokes it into the corner. The run from midfield, this | :21:10. | :21:14. | |
is what he is famous for and as the ball comes to him he uses the power | :21:15. | :21:19. | |
of the ball to stroke it into the corner. A class player who kept his | :21:20. | :21:23. | |
head down and waited for the right opportunity. Never been on the | :21:24. | :21:26. | |
losing side when he scores in the Premier League, which is impressive. | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
When a goalkeeper plays well over the course of the season, how many | :21:34. | :21:36. | |
points can they be worth to the team? 9-12 points in a season, eight | :21:37. | :21:43. | |
clean sheets in ten games now. When you consider that we've spoken a lot | :21:44. | :21:48. | |
about Costa, Hazard, and Pedro, rightly so, the man who hasn't had a | :21:49. | :21:53. | |
mention, Courtois, who played his part with two unbelievable saves at | :21:54. | :21:58. | |
the right time. Firstly from Januzaj, making himself big and | :21:59. | :22:04. | |
strong. Sticks out his left leg and that's a very good save and this one | :22:05. | :22:09. | |
is even better. Van Aanholt. Big strong hand to his right hand side. | :22:10. | :22:16. | |
And the goalkeeper can make big saves in important games and they | :22:17. | :22:20. | |
were two important ones. Ten straight wins, it's looking | :22:21. | :22:24. | |
relentless, isn't it? They're full of confidence, not disrupting the | :22:25. | :22:31. | |
site too much, when players are coming in you can't tell that they | :22:32. | :22:35. | |
are in there. It is so smooth for them, full of confidence and playing | :22:36. | :22:39. | |
great stuff. What about Sunderland, concerns? Massive concerns, I've | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
read that there is no money for them, it was the money that kept | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
them in the Premier League last year. I feel sorry for David Moyes | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
because these are the players he must go with until next season. You | :22:52. | :22:57. | |
know him well, what will he be like with these players? He knows that | :22:58. | :23:01. | |
they are who he will have to use. He will try to get every bit of energy, | :23:02. | :23:04. | |
quality and effort and I think he's doing that tonight, they competed | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
well. If either chance had gone in they would have had a good result | :23:11. | :23:14. | |
but they need to add some quality. Two down, eight to go. | :23:15. | :23:52. | |
Manchester United were at saltires Park to face Crystal Palace for the | :23:53. | :23:57. | |
first time since last season's FA Cup Final -- Selhurst Park. Simon | :23:58. | :24:04. | |
Brotherton was in attendance. Fabbrini starting for Palace for the | :24:05. | :24:10. | |
first time tonight and signing in September. Puncheon is suspended, | :24:11. | :24:16. | |
Cabaye and Lee Chung-Yong coming in. Bailly is back for United after | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
recovering from a knee injury, his first start in seven other half | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
weeks. Rooney: Mata and then starting with empty theory and -- | :24:25. | :24:28. | |
with empty Atari United haven't won in London in the | :24:29. | :24:37. | |
league since the start of last season. Mata letting it run, taking | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
the return from Rooney! Just looping over the top of the bar. Nice | :24:43. | :24:48. | |
approach from Manchester United. Little dummy initially from Mata, | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
Rooney going into the match one goal short of Sir Bobby Charlton's | :24:53. | :24:57. | |
all-time club record of 249. Mata chasing. | :24:58. | :25:04. | |
Pogba chipping it to Rooney with the shot, bringing the save from Wayne | :25:05. | :25:10. | |
Hennessey. Manchester United's best effort so far. And a chance for | :25:11. | :25:16. | |
Wayne Rooney, created by Paul Pogba with the delicate chip. Wayne Rooney | :25:17. | :25:21. | |
first time and Hennessey scrambling interaction to push the ball behind. | :25:22. | :25:31. | |
James McCarthy now. Zaha, getting away from Carrick. Chance to run at | :25:32. | :25:42. | |
the Manchester United defence. He's been fouled by Rojo, I think. Rojo | :25:43. | :25:46. | |
is quick to protest his innocence. It's a yellow card. Zaha really | :25:47. | :25:54. | |
posing a threat racing forward and Rojo went diving in. He's got to be | :25:55. | :25:59. | |
careful, going in two-footed. He did it against Everton and was lucky to | :26:00. | :26:06. | |
get away with it. Cabaye with the delivery for Crystal Palace, nearly | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
onto the head of Ben Tackie and McCarthy was on the far post -- | :26:11. | :26:23. | |
Benteke. Ferreira with the shot, blocked by Delaney. Flamini, as far | :26:24. | :26:29. | |
as Rooney. United camp in the Crystal Palace half of the field. | :26:30. | :26:34. | |
Carrick with the ball into Pogba, great shot blocked by Hennessey. | :26:35. | :26:40. | |
Lovely technique, straight at the keeper as Blind sends the ball in | :26:41. | :26:44. | |
again. Mata on the far post and it's behind for the goalkick. Wayne | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
Hennessey called into action for the second time in this half. Great | :26:49. | :26:53. | |
technique by Pogba, hitting it straight and true, first time. Blind | :26:54. | :26:59. | |
getting the free kick for the challenge by Martin Kelly. Yellow | :27:00. | :27:05. | |
card as well for the Palace full-back. Just plain one minute of | :27:06. | :27:11. | |
added time at the end of this half. -- just playing. Given the goals | :27:12. | :27:14. | |
they've been conceding recently, Palace would be happy to go in | :27:15. | :27:19. | |
goalless at half-time. But they won't go in gold is because Paul | :27:20. | :27:23. | |
Pogba has disbursed it into the back of the net in stoppage time at the | :27:24. | :27:29. | |
end of the first half -- they won't go in goal less. Was Pogba onside? | :27:30. | :27:40. | |
It's a close call, Martin Kelly was the closest defender. The flag stays | :27:41. | :27:46. | |
down and United have the lead. Was there the handball from Ibrahimovic | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
maybe? Sending the ball goalwards and Paul Pogba putting it into the | :27:53. | :27:57. | |
back of the net. Palace are looking to make a good start to the second | :27:58. | :28:04. | |
half. Deep ball and Ben Tackie -- Ben | :28:05. | :28:11. | |
the best we've seen from Crystal Palace. Joe Ledley merely making an | :28:12. | :28:17. | |
immediate impact having just come off the bench at the start of the | :28:18. | :28:23. | |
second half. Palace struggling to really do anything positive with the | :28:24. | :28:27. | |
ball at the moment. Stringing a few passes together, which they | :28:28. | :28:30. | |
struggled to do in the first half. Struggling to hurt Manchester | :28:31. | :28:36. | |
United. Can they do so now, McArthur with the shot? Great save by De Gea, | :28:37. | :28:43. | |
finally called into action. It has taken one hour but this was a great | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
shot and an excellent save. Joel Ward sending it in again. Pogba is | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
back helping out, the man who scored the goal. A bit more drive about | :28:54. | :29:02. | |
Palace here. Ward has done well, lovely ball, great chance for | :29:03. | :29:08. | |
McArthur! 1-1, Crystal Palace right back in it. Beautifully worked goal. | :29:09. | :29:15. | |
All too playful 25 minutes to go. -- all to play for with 25 minutes. | :29:16. | :29:23. | |
This is Ledley involved initially, Joel Ward as well. Look at the patch | :29:24. | :29:27. | |
from Delaney, and the chance was buried by McArthur. Lovely goal from | :29:28. | :29:35. | |
Palace's point of view. James McCarthy has his fifth of the season | :29:36. | :29:37. | |
and didn't he take it well? 1-1. Here comes Wayne Rooney now for | :29:38. | :29:46. | |
Manchester United. Rooney brings a save from Hennessy. Manchester | :29:47. | :29:51. | |
United almost firing back straightaway. Stung into action. | :29:52. | :29:57. | |
Rooney, remember, looking for that record equalling goal. And it was a | :29:58. | :30:02. | |
good effort as well. This incident off the ball here as Zlatan | :30:03. | :30:05. | |
Ibrahimovic goes for the ball, looks as though he elbows Cabaye just | :30:06. | :30:12. | |
before Wayne Rooney has this shot. What will Manchester United do with | :30:13. | :30:18. | |
this one? Away by Cabaye. United claiming handball, they are all | :30:19. | :30:23. | |
around the referee. Craig Poulsen completely surrounded there for a | :30:24. | :30:27. | |
few moments. Here it is as the ball comes into the penalty area. Looks | :30:28. | :30:36. | |
like a handball by Joe Ledley. Rojo gets up well, far post. The flag has | :30:37. | :30:43. | |
gone up, it won't count. Mata thinks he's scored. As the ball comes over, | :30:44. | :30:49. | |
Mata looks as though he's onside. So, Manchester United unhappy about | :30:50. | :30:54. | |
two decisions. Frustrating night potentially for Jose Mourinho and | :30:55. | :31:00. | |
for Manchester United. Ibrahimovic now, has Manchester United threaten | :31:01. | :31:03. | |
again, sliding it into Jesse Lingard. Good save by Wayne | :31:04. | :31:07. | |
Hennessey. It's a lovely piece of play from Ibrahimovic, there just to | :31:08. | :31:11. | |
delicately flicked the ball forward. Good save by Hennessy. That's a | :31:12. | :31:21. | |
lovely turn. Into Ibrahimovic! Ooh, what a brilliant goal. A world-class | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
finish. From a world-class player. And Manchester United might just | :31:30. | :31:31. | |
have won this game with a little over two minutes remaining. And | :31:32. | :31:35. | |
Manchester United moving from one end of the pitch to the other in | :31:36. | :31:41. | |
double quick time. Excellent play from Pogba, here, no hint of | :31:42. | :31:46. | |
offside. Great finish from Ibrahimovic. Angle closing all the | :31:47. | :31:52. | |
time. Mattered not. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, over Wayne Hennessey, | :31:53. | :31:57. | |
and in off the far post. We played very well. We played very, very | :31:58. | :32:05. | |
well, so that's a big evolution. But people sometimes forget about good | :32:06. | :32:10. | |
performances and focus on results. And results are the ones that built | :32:11. | :32:16. | |
the table. And the table is there. And playing so well we are still | :32:17. | :32:21. | |
six, so we need points. We'd done a little bit better second half and | :32:22. | :32:25. | |
created a few good situations. They've got some quality players and | :32:26. | :32:28. | |
unfortunately we've been undone right at the end by two of the best. | :32:29. | :32:33. | |
It was calling really because my team gave me everything tonight, I | :32:34. | :32:37. | |
couldn't ask for more. I spoke a lot during the first period of the | :32:38. | :32:41. | |
season. I think I learned how to cope with it. So now I'm calm. I sit | :32:42. | :32:51. | |
on the bench. I try not to show any kind of emotion. And I'm just happy | :32:52. | :32:58. | |
with the victory. But even if we don't win this match I'll be the | :32:59. | :33:03. | |
same, happy with the player 's performance. STUDIO: Let me explain | :33:04. | :33:06. | |
what it is like watching with these two, because both of you were | :33:07. | :33:09. | |
shouting at the television quite a bit. Bad decisions are affected both | :33:10. | :33:14. | |
sides. Not the greatest night for the referee. Craig Paulson, and the | :33:15. | :33:19. | |
other officials, look away now, you've had an absolute nightmare. | :33:20. | :33:24. | |
For five big, big decisions to make, and you got every single one wrong. | :33:25. | :33:28. | |
First it is handball from Ibrahimovic, and its offside from | :33:29. | :33:34. | |
Pogba, shouldn't have stood. Neither the referee nor his assistant spots | :33:35. | :33:39. | |
anything. Handball, offside into Pogba. Poor defending in the first | :33:40. | :33:43. | |
place but it should not have stood. This should have been a red card | :33:44. | :33:50. | |
from Rojo. He got away with it against Everton and he got away with | :33:51. | :33:54. | |
it here. I don't know who is telling him to tackle like that but he is so | :33:55. | :33:58. | |
fortunate. And that should change the game completely. Ball into the | :33:59. | :34:04. | |
box, Ledley, from a corner, clear handball as you are likely to see. | :34:05. | :34:08. | |
How on earth the referee doesn't see that. Watch the reaction from the | :34:09. | :34:13. | |
United players. Every single one of them is straight at the referee, and | :34:14. | :34:16. | |
that should have been a penalty as well. Good header from Rojo at the | :34:17. | :34:23. | |
far post. And that's given offside. That is not offside. For five big | :34:24. | :34:29. | |
decisions. He's got every single one of them wrong. You could tell his | :34:30. | :34:35. | |
confidence was shot to pieces. Hopefully he's still travelling. It | :34:36. | :34:40. | |
doesn't read very well. In terms of confidence, a fellow playing up | :34:41. | :34:43. | |
front for Manchester United who has it in bucket loads and tonight a | :34:44. | :34:48. | |
crucial goal. 35 years of age, playing every week, 90 minutes. 14 | :34:49. | :34:54. | |
goals this season he has. And Pogba, who had some brilliant moments, | :34:55. | :34:58. | |
weighted pass and turn into Ibrahimovic, but the finish just | :34:59. | :35:02. | |
delightful. Ready and play from Pogba. He looks up, from a tight | :35:03. | :35:08. | |
angle, not only to get over the goalkeeper but in off the post. Why | :35:09. | :35:14. | |
is that such a good finish? He has a quick look, he picks his spot, and | :35:15. | :35:19. | |
he lifted over the goalkeeper. With his left foot he has the ability to | :35:20. | :35:23. | |
do that. The chance in the last few minutes of the game was just sublime | :35:24. | :35:28. | |
stubborn you talk about sport science, you talk about they can | :35:29. | :35:33. | |
only play one game in a week, this guy plays every minute of every game | :35:34. | :35:38. | |
they play. He travels to Russia, comes back, plays. Phenomenal. | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
World-class. 35 years of age. You've dropped the world-class bomb. That's | :35:45. | :35:48. | |
what world-class players do, they want to play every minute, they | :35:49. | :35:53. | |
don't want resting. Let's look at this world-class, Messi, renowned, | :35:54. | :36:02. | |
Suarez, is he the same as those? He was world-class. Was and is is the | :36:03. | :36:09. | |
same thing. Crystal Palace have not played well in recent weeks. The | :36:10. | :36:13. | |
goal was brilliant this evening. Impact is they were OK. They scored | :36:14. | :36:18. | |
a brilliant goal, better organised, played with good spirit. They have | :36:19. | :36:23. | |
Chelsea on Saturday. They need to stop conceding silly goals, | :36:24. | :36:27. | |
particularly from set pieces. Been saying that for a while about | :36:28. | :36:32. | |
Crystal Palace. That it was a lot better. Do you think you will regret | :36:33. | :36:37. | |
the world-class comment? I stick by it. Two wins in eight games for | :36:38. | :36:48. | |
Spurs, Hull came to White Hart Lane. COMMENTATOR: Spurs make two changes | :36:49. | :36:52. | |
to the team that lost at Manchester United. They include only a fifth | :36:53. | :36:56. | |
Premier League start for the club for record signing Moussa Sissoko as | :36:57. | :37:01. | |
Son drops to the bench. Hull name the side that drew with Crystal | :37:02. | :37:06. | |
Palace. They are led by Michael Dawson, returning to the club where | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
he played 324 times. Huddlestone and Livermore also faced their former | :37:12. | :37:16. | |
team. Only Bournemouth and Manchester United last time out have | :37:17. | :37:20. | |
stopped Spurs scoring in the last 25 Premier League games. Dawson in | :37:21. | :37:30. | |
ahead of Kane, Eric is onto it. Cissokho arriving as well as Dele | :37:31. | :37:36. | |
Alli. Won't reach either of them. Huddlestone was the covering player, | :37:37. | :37:40. | |
and he needed to be. Danger still not averted. Sissoko trying to curl | :37:41. | :37:47. | |
one. Couldn't quite get his angles right. That was potentially | :37:48. | :37:54. | |
dangerous for Hull. Vertonghen looking for Rose, Elmohamady has got | :37:55. | :38:00. | |
to be quick. Got back, the Egyptian, but Rose teed it up for Eriksen. | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
Less than 40 minutes gone, and Christian Eriksen has his fourth | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
goal in four games. And Spurs have the lead. That was all about the | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
pace and the power of Danny Rose. He made the run, there. Fouled by | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
Vertonghen. From that moment on Elmohamady was struggling. He had | :38:19. | :38:23. | |
the composure, turned inside, and that was an invitation that Eriksen | :38:24. | :38:29. | |
was always going to accept. His fourth Premier League goal of the | :38:30. | :38:34. | |
season. And Hull are behind inside quarter of an hour. Dele Alli. We | :38:35. | :38:46. | |
sent Spurs are in the mood, here. Good strike. They've got to get | :38:47. | :38:56. | |
closer to him in that kind of area. Mauricio Pochettino has only lost | :38:57. | :39:00. | |
nine of 45 Premier League home games in charge of Tottenham. Certainly in | :39:01. | :39:06. | |
charge of this one. Huddlestone has lost out, dangerous for Hull again. | :39:07. | :39:11. | |
Kane, Wanyama. Wasn't strong enough for Rose. Now Hull can try and | :39:12. | :39:20. | |
charge. Livermore to Diomande. And Livermore again. Straight at Lloris | :39:21. | :39:29. | |
in the end. A little more positive. Had a look, the former Spurs | :39:30. | :39:35. | |
midfielder. Save you would expect a goalkeeper of Hugo Lloris's calibre | :39:36. | :39:39. | |
to make comfortable, which indeed he did. Patients from Hull. Livermore, | :39:40. | :39:48. | |
Clucas. Good ball, good try from Livermore. Well, they were almost | :39:49. | :40:01. | |
rewarded for their patience, here. Lloris wasn't sure it was going wide | :40:02. | :40:10. | |
and he had to make sure. No flag. Dele Alli onside. Good stop from | :40:11. | :40:19. | |
Marshall. Well, Hull switched off, there, and Dele Alli almost made | :40:20. | :40:23. | |
them pay. Points to where he wants it, he's definitely onside. Then the | :40:24. | :40:29. | |
snapshot brought out the excellent reflex from David Marshall. Kane. | :40:30. | :40:39. | |
Vertonghen takes over, he's away from Huddlestone, he's got a | :40:40. | :40:42. | |
shooting opportunity, and he's still going. How many does he want to | :40:43. | :40:48. | |
beat? In the end blocked by Dawson. The referee's whistle has gone. Dele | :40:49. | :40:54. | |
Alli has put it in the back of the net, it won't count. Terrific run | :40:55. | :41:00. | |
initially from the defender. Just couldn't find the room to shoot in | :41:01. | :41:05. | |
the end. When he did Dawson was equal to it. Brave and crucial | :41:06. | :41:12. | |
block. Kane has had the vision to find Eriksen. Was that a clumsy | :41:13. | :41:20. | |
challenge? The referee didn't think so. Spurs did. But Hull can break. | :41:21. | :41:26. | |
Diomande being chased by Walker, he's got a player over. Livermore. | :41:27. | :41:33. | |
Ooh, and he did as well. It's come back to Livermore. What a save from | :41:34. | :41:38. | |
Lloris with his feet. Spurs are furious because they felt they | :41:39. | :41:41. | |
should have had a free kick at one end. But they are thankful for their | :41:42. | :41:46. | |
captain at the other. It came back quickly. At full stretch Lloris was | :41:47. | :41:52. | |
able to keep it out. Spurs had a case, you can understand their | :41:53. | :41:56. | |
frustration. Mauricio Pochettino is still having a conversation with the | :41:57. | :42:07. | |
fourth official, Roger East. Dier. That's for Walker to chase. And he | :42:08. | :42:17. | |
is onto it, Kyle Walker. In four Eriksen. Two for Eriksen, two for | :42:18. | :42:21. | |
Tottenham, relief around White Hart Lane. The pace and power of Walker | :42:22. | :42:26. | |
the problem here. And then he put it on a plate for the Danish | :42:27. | :42:32. | |
international. That's that clear daylight that Spurs have been after. | :42:33. | :42:35. | |
63 minutes gone. He prevented it from being 1-1, | :42:36. | :42:51. | |
moments later it is 2-0. Wanyama. Rose. Just too crowded in the end, | :42:52. | :42:58. | |
but he was caught, Danny Crow. -- Danny Rose. Ponzi from Dawson. He | :42:59. | :43:03. | |
fancies this. Here he comes, then, Eriksen. Followed in by Wanyama. His | :43:04. | :43:12. | |
team have got the third goal and Spurs surely have the three points. | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
Wonderful attempt from Eriksen. Clawed away by Marshall and then the | :43:18. | :43:20. | |
rebound simple one for Victor Wanyama. Marshall did well to keep | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
out Eriksson, he could do nothing about Wanyama. Back off the post. | :43:26. | :43:38. | |
The Kenyan captain couldn't miss. Seventh scoreless game of the season | :43:39. | :43:47. | |
for Hull. Sissoko. Son on ahead of him. Eriksen wants it as well. Here | :43:48. | :43:56. | |
is Eriksen. Once room for the shot. Understandably it's on Eriksen's | :43:57. | :44:03. | |
mind, she's never scored a hat-trick in club football. For a second he | :44:04. | :44:05. | |
thought it might have slipped through. So close to the hat-trick, | :44:06. | :44:11. | |
did you think it might have slipped in? | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
Unluckily, the keeper saved it but Peter scored. We've come here with a | :44:16. | :44:24. | |
fabulous attitude today, to come and play against Tottenham. These | :44:25. | :44:29. | |
players have wanted to play in these stadiums for a long time. They come | :44:30. | :44:33. | |
here, moving the ball around well, defending well in those moments. | :44:34. | :44:40. | |
We've restricted their attempts. OK, we didn't have the position that | :44:41. | :44:45. | |
they had. But at a certain time in the game we were more than value for | :44:46. | :44:49. | |
money. I think it was a game that we dominated. Fully deserved. I think | :44:50. | :44:58. | |
the most important thing is the three points. To be close to the top | :44:59. | :45:04. | |
four. At this moment in time I want a happy, Merry Christmas, lots of | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
presents and hopefully going into the New Year we got a few additions. | :45:09. | :45:15. | |
Talking about Mike Phelan's Hull in a moment but you criticise Tottenham | :45:16. | :45:18. | |
at the weekend for a lack of creativity. One man provided a lot | :45:19. | :45:23. | |
against Hull. I was quite critical because I thought in the final third | :45:24. | :45:27. | |
they were relying on Harry Kane to produce the moments of magic. This | :45:28. | :45:33. | |
was after 30 passes, fantastic. Eriksen has had a disappointing | :45:34. | :45:36. | |
start to the season but has started finding form. We know that he likes | :45:37. | :45:41. | |
to come in off the sides and play in the holes where it's so difficult. | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
This is the goal, Kyle Walker down the right-hand side. Ghosting into | :45:47. | :45:51. | |
the box. Five goals in four. This could have been his hat-trick. | :45:52. | :45:55. | |
Fantastic save by David Marshall. Wanyama follows in. Spurs need the | :45:56. | :46:02. | |
likes of Lamela, Eriksen Ammar Son and Dele Alli to provide more for | :46:03. | :46:07. | |
the team, the little holes that they play in to give Harry Kane more | :46:08. | :46:12. | |
help. From the Hull perspective, on the spectrum of trouble, where are | :46:13. | :46:19. | |
they? In big trouble. Seven points after four games, they've got 12 now | :46:20. | :46:24. | |
after 16, the worst defensive record in the league, 35 goals conceded. | :46:25. | :46:28. | |
Phil was talking about Sunderland struggling to recruit. What about a | :46:29. | :46:35. | |
big January four Hull and Mike Phelan? I don't think he has | :46:36. | :46:38. | |
problems with the attitude, it is the quality. They go into the game | :46:39. | :46:43. | |
and I don't think that Spurs had to get out of second gear. Attitude is | :46:44. | :46:48. | |
fine, it is quality. After climbing off the bottom with victory over | :46:49. | :46:53. | |
Sunderland, Swansea were in action against West Brom who were chasing | :46:54. | :46:58. | |
three wins in a row. After naming the same team for five games in a | :46:59. | :47:02. | |
row, Tony Pulis is forced to make two alterations, Jonas Olsson | :47:03. | :47:07. | |
replacing Evans who has picked up a calf injury and Chadli making his | :47:08. | :47:12. | |
first start in seven weeks. Craig Dawson suspended so Chris Brunt | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
drops to full-back. Montero comes in for Swansea, Faro hasn't trained | :47:17. | :47:27. | |
because of illness -- Barrow. Swansea were delayed and only | :47:28. | :47:33. | |
arrived 75 minutes before kick-off. Chadli for West if he can keep it | :47:34. | :47:37. | |
in, and he can. Brilliant, away from Taylor, what is the cross like? | :47:38. | :47:43. | |
Turned behind his own goal by Mawson. Goal kick has been given. | :47:44. | :47:47. | |
What about this from Chadli? Not just that, skating away from the | :47:48. | :47:53. | |
committed Taylor as well. Swansea are the team to watch if you want to | :47:54. | :47:59. | |
see goals at the moment, an aggregate of 17 in three games. West | :48:00. | :48:04. | |
Brom turning on the style here too in recent weeks, four against | :48:05. | :48:09. | |
Burnley and three against Watford. They goalless draw looks like a slim | :48:10. | :48:17. | |
prospect tonight. In troubled there, Nyom going forward with purpose. | :48:18. | :48:21. | |
Advantage by the referee, through to bond on. Fabulous save from | :48:22. | :48:29. | |
Fabianski -- Rondon. Having the chance to weigh up the options and | :48:30. | :48:34. | |
it's safely gathered by Fabianski. Wonderful run by Nyom. Chadli's | :48:35. | :48:42. | |
vision, Rondon was clearly onside and Fabianski was quickly out to | :48:43. | :48:56. | |
smother. Montero away from Philips. The cross is awkward for brand! He | :48:57. | :49:00. | |
nearly put it past his own goalkeeper. -- for Brunt. Phillips | :49:01. | :49:07. | |
crossing it into the area and asking who's going to get on the end of it. | :49:08. | :49:16. | |
Chadli, getting past Fulton. He tripped him. Chadli has been out of | :49:17. | :49:25. | |
first team action for some time and is bound to be a bit rusty. A decent | :49:26. | :49:30. | |
delivery from a set piece could break it up and it is, Salomon | :49:31. | :49:34. | |
Rondon with the goal. Phillips with the delivery. Rondon with his fifth | :49:35. | :49:39. | |
of the season. Four minutes after the restart. Salomon Rondon knocks | :49:40. | :49:50. | |
them in front. On side, Llorente playing him on. Finding a bit of | :49:51. | :49:55. | |
space. He's left well alone, seven yards out, he's not going to miss | :49:56. | :50:01. | |
that. Quality delivery from Philips. West Bromwich haven't lost this | :50:02. | :50:05. | |
season when the Venezuelan has scored. Rondon looking for space and | :50:06. | :50:18. | |
finding Brunt. Phillips just holding back for a moment. Rondon with his | :50:19. | :50:23. | |
arm raised in the penalty area, Brunt trying to find him. He might | :50:24. | :50:28. | |
have done, Rondon! It's two. As easy as that. And that might well do it. | :50:29. | :50:38. | |
Rondon started the move, nudged on by Brunt and then Morrison took | :50:39. | :50:45. | |
over. Just look at Rondon there, with his arm up, two defenders close | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
to him but both of them switched off when the cross came in and that's as | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
easy as it gets for Salomon Rondon. Two endorsement for him -- two in | :50:55. | :51:03. | |
two for him and surely there is no way back for Swansea, away from | :51:04. | :51:07. | |
home. They've only ever scored twice in one away game this season. | :51:08. | :51:13. | |
Salomon Rondon has never scored a hat-trick for West Brom. He might do | :51:14. | :51:26. | |
it tonight. Sigurdsson somehow keeping his foot in, Phillips. | :51:27. | :51:28. | |
Getting away from Fulton now. Running at Mawson. | :51:29. | :51:36. | |
Can run to find Rondon again? He can! He's scored again! The | :51:37. | :51:46. | |
Venezuelan has a hat-trick. Almost a carbon copy of the goalkeeper to | :51:47. | :51:52. | |
weigh two minutes ago -- of the goal he put away. Brunt whipping in the | :51:53. | :51:57. | |
cross and Rondon finding space and finding the net. Phillips with the | :51:58. | :52:07. | |
legwork. Leaving defenders in his wake. But then had the common-sense | :52:08. | :52:12. | |
to slow it down, waiting for Brunt, who had much time and space. He's | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
always been able to pick out a decent cross, they don't come much | :52:17. | :52:20. | |
better than that but it was a quality finish from Salomon Rondon. | :52:21. | :52:24. | |
Into the far corner, Fabianski has no chance whatsoever. What a | :52:25. | :52:32. | |
capitulation by Bob Bratina's men. Rondon's hat-trick in 13 minutes and | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
26 seconds -- Bob Bradley. Under the American Swansea have conceded 15 | :52:40. | :52:42. | |
goals in four and a bit games. Still a chance, Foster with the | :52:43. | :52:56. | |
save, Routledge 's there and Swansea have a goal back. Is it too little, | :52:57. | :53:04. | |
too late? The burst of pace from Barrow. The touch he was clever. | :53:05. | :53:10. | |
Foster came out and spread himself but the bounce favoured Swansea. No | :53:11. | :53:19. | |
clean sheet for Tony Pulis. Is there a grandstand recovery for Swansea? | :53:20. | :53:27. | |
Getting the lucky bounce off Brunt. What a save, Foster. Sigurdsson got | :53:28. | :53:38. | |
his shot in. McAuley was so close to scoring the own goal. And Ben Foster | :53:39. | :53:43. | |
with magnificent reflexes, sparing his blushes. First hat-trick for | :53:44. | :53:51. | |
Salman Munn Don in English football, free headers and three wonderful | :53:52. | :53:58. | |
balls in. -- Salomon Rondon. He's still got to finish them, three | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
fantastic headers. We are pleased for him but I'm pleased for the | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
group as well, the first 45 minutes we had to dig deep and get ourselves | :54:07. | :54:12. | |
moving and almost boiled the engine, it wasn't coming through as quickly | :54:13. | :54:20. | |
as we would hope. We have a hard game on Saturday against Manchester | :54:21. | :54:23. | |
United. We must dust the players down. We know what needs to be done, | :54:24. | :54:29. | |
we have made improvements but we need more consistent performances | :54:30. | :54:32. | |
and more resilient is that you get on the road, to win games in the | :54:33. | :54:40. | |
Premier League. You find ways to hang in, fight through tough periods | :54:41. | :54:44. | |
of the game and ultimately take points by making sure you don't | :54:45. | :54:47. | |
concede when maybe you're under pressure. I managed few chances in | :54:48. | :54:56. | |
the half but I stayed positive, Caradon, and a hat-trick. A big | :54:57. | :55:00. | |
smile, you loved watching him. -- carried on. You said it was the | :55:01. | :55:07. | |
perfect hat-trick. His first ever Premier League hat-trick, it took 13 | :55:08. | :55:13. | |
minutes and three perfect headers. I wasn't eulogising over them and the | :55:14. | :55:16. | |
crosses were superb, the first one was from Philips and this one was | :55:17. | :55:21. | |
from Brunt. Bang, the keeper has no chance. The power, the accuracy to | :55:22. | :55:27. | |
get it back where it came from. Another brilliant ball from Chris | :55:28. | :55:30. | |
Brunt, with the get in, get on the end of it, full of confidence, | :55:31. | :55:34. | |
thanks very much. Superb, loved watching him. I offered him the line | :55:35. | :55:43. | |
that he rose like a Salomon but he turned it down! Looking good, West | :55:44. | :55:50. | |
Brom and playing lovely football. Wonderful season, scoring more goals | :55:51. | :55:53. | |
than ranchers to United, everybody says Tony Pulis is boring but they | :55:54. | :55:57. | |
are playing well -- than Manchester United. What about the opposition? | :55:58. | :56:03. | |
We've seen Hull, Sunderland, Swansea, borough and Palace losing. | :56:04. | :56:12. | |
You also have concerns for Swansea? I do, I look at the teams who are | :56:13. | :56:16. | |
down there, I would feel for all of them. Confidence is low in the teams | :56:17. | :56:20. | |
and I think they're in big trouble as well. You are guaranteed goals, | :56:21. | :56:26. | |
watching Swansea. That's one thing you can say, they can score goals | :56:27. | :56:30. | |
but they have a soft centre, Bob Bradley said that they have to keep | :56:31. | :56:35. | |
clean sheets and be hard to beat. One other player in the Premier | :56:36. | :56:41. | |
League to score a headed hat-trick? Big Dunc. That's right, have you | :56:42. | :56:46. | |
been looking at my seat? Manchester City have lost ground -- at might | :56:47. | :56:53. | |
sheet. Watford have never lost a Premier League game on a Wednesday. | :56:54. | :57:02. | |
COMMENTATOR: Melita as extols in 13 starts -- Moli toe. Mostly playing | :57:03. | :57:11. | |
wide. -- Nolito. He is the backbone of the City attack. Otamendi is back | :57:12. | :57:15. | |
in the centre of defence from which John Stones is missing. Jerome | :57:16. | :57:20. | |
Sinclair makes a full Premier League debut and his first start for | :57:21. | :57:23. | |
Watford since joining them from Liverpool in the summer. Okaka is | :57:24. | :57:32. | |
out with a hamstring injury. David Silva. Beautifully left by the | :57:33. | :57:48. | |
brine. Raheem Sterling, saved by Gomes. -- De Bruyne. Calm down, he's | :57:49. | :57:56. | |
telling his team. Good ball from Aboyne. -- from Kevin | :57:57. | :58:17. | |
de Bruyne. The angle was almost impossible. | :58:18. | :58:27. | |
Nolito taking it away from Sterling. Fired into the middle, Zabaleta | :58:28. | :58:41. | |
scores! Zabaleta finding space at the back post and finding the back | :58:42. | :58:47. | |
of the net. No one was marking the back door and Zabaleta sneaks in and | :58:48. | :58:55. | |
fires Manchester City in front. Good ball in from Kevin de Bruyne, | :58:56. | :58:59. | |
excellent finish by Zabaleta. Deadlock broken, 1-0. Just keeping | :59:00. | :59:17. | |
it in play. Good effort, that. Gomes got himself behind it. It was well | :59:18. | :59:22. | |
hit by Kevin de Bruyne, I think he was trying to catch the keeper by | :59:23. | :59:30. | |
surprise. Given away. Sterling. Is that a foul by a gala? Play on. -- | :59:31. | :59:34. | |
by a karlo. Just about hang on, Watford. The | :59:35. | :59:46. | |
first time Yaya Toure... Rising shot, no deflection, it is a goal | :59:47. | :59:52. | |
kick. Better from Manchester City, really penning in the Watford. | :59:53. | :59:59. | |
The sting was taken off it by Sebastian Prodl. David Silva, back | :00:00. | :00:16. | |
to the -- back to de Bruyne. Almost caught | :00:17. | :00:31. | |
out Gomes, who should be doing better than that. Clichy. Good ball. | :00:32. | :00:55. | |
No -- Nolita through on goal. Here is Ighalo. Raheem Sterling, now. | :00:56. | :01:06. | |
Sterling weaving through, still going. Ooh, hit the bar. Great | :01:07. | :01:11. | |
change of pace from Raheem Sterling, lovely balance. The shot just | :01:12. | :01:21. | |
clipping the Watford crossbar. Deeney jumping, little glance to | :01:22. | :01:23. | |
Ighalo, who got there in front of Kolarov. Success, running at | :01:24. | :01:29. | |
Zabaleta. Blocked by Zabaleta, who suddenly has got his hands full. | :01:30. | :01:35. | |
It's a free kick to Watford, yellow card to Zabaleta. Free kick in a | :01:36. | :01:38. | |
pretty good position, too. Everyone back from Manchester City. | :01:39. | :01:53. | |
Not in towards Prodl. Excellent save. Flag up on this nearside. I | :01:54. | :01:59. | |
think the first shot would have counted from Etienne Capoue. Great | :02:00. | :02:05. | |
save from Claudio Bravo, who had had nothing to do, the city goalkeeper. | :02:06. | :02:13. | |
Capoue certainly got over the shot, good save from bravo. Killed in | :02:14. | :02:22. | |
beautifully. Ighalo! Ooh, massive chance for Watford. Great play by | :02:23. | :02:35. | |
Amrabat, and Ighalo, in last seasons form, would have this in the back of | :02:36. | :02:40. | |
the net. City have nicked it. They've got four against two. Do | :02:41. | :02:45. | |
heat sterling, David Silva. And that is the game. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Suddenly Watford were caught horribly short-handed. Prodl got | :02:52. | :03:00. | |
himself in trouble. Yaya Toure nicked in. Suddenly city were away. | :03:01. | :03:14. | |
Sterling, Silva, city gold. Running at Zuniga. | :03:15. | :03:25. | |
Trying to make an impression in the few moments of playing time that he | :03:26. | :03:34. | |
gets. Short to Sterling, back to Silva, wriggling through, getting | :03:35. | :03:40. | |
the shot away but saved by Gomes. Well, the two goal-scorers almost | :03:41. | :03:43. | |
combining to prise open Watford again. That the last action of a | :03:44. | :03:48. | |
game which won't live in the memory for all that long. But Pep Guardiola | :03:49. | :03:57. | |
will be very happy. 2-0. Which I to build and build our game through our | :03:58. | :04:02. | |
defence, our work without the ball. That is easy to do. To create is | :04:03. | :04:06. | |
more difficult. After that the good results are going to recover what we | :04:07. | :04:13. | |
are in for. Hard luck, you had a plan, and it almost worked for you. | :04:14. | :04:25. | |
TRANSLATION: We were not lucky because the chance for Ighalo, in my | :04:26. | :04:31. | |
opinion a draw would have been a fair result. As a full-back you go | :04:32. | :04:36. | |
into the game just thinking that you have to defend. This is the | :04:37. | :04:40. | |
principal for a defender, for a full-back. But then of course when | :04:41. | :04:45. | |
we got a chance to go forward, especially at the far post, where | :04:46. | :04:51. | |
sometimes nobody knows, and it's good to attack that space. And it | :04:52. | :04:55. | |
was a great cross by Kevin and it was a good finish, for a full-back. | :04:56. | :05:00. | |
STUDIO: Steve Wilson said in the commentary a game that will not live | :05:01. | :05:03. | |
long in the memory but just enough for city. It wasn't about the | :05:04. | :05:07. | |
performance, it was about getting the result, building confidence into | :05:08. | :05:11. | |
the next couple of games. They were not at their fluent best but they | :05:12. | :05:20. | |
did score some good goals. They played Nolito Centre forward and | :05:21. | :05:23. | |
this was great skill. Fantastic stand up to the far post. You don't | :05:24. | :05:27. | |
expect a full-back to be at the far post. Brilliant finish from | :05:28. | :05:32. | |
Zabaleta. Watford had this chance just in the second half, Ighalo, | :05:33. | :05:42. | |
cross from Amrabat and he should at least hit the target. City went | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
straight up the other end, scrap in midfield and Silva broke. Yaya | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Toure, Sterling, fantastic pull-back, and Silva scores his | :05:52. | :05:54. | |
first goal since January in the Premier League. It wasn't | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
convincing, not pretty at times, and it was a real quiet atmosphere, | :06:00. | :06:05. | |
looked nervous, but an important three points. After the | :06:06. | :06:08. | |
embarrassment against Leicester, it was about winning, not how. His | :06:09. | :06:14. | |
methods and tactics have been questioned, Pep Guardiola, why are | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
you shaking your head? It's pathetic. That he is being | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
questioned? So soon in the season to question. We wanted Pep Guardiola to | :06:24. | :06:27. | |
come to England, now we are trying to destroy him. He did get off to a | :06:28. | :06:31. | |
great start but they have struggled of late. Some of his players are | :06:32. | :06:34. | |
finding it hard to understand what he wants from them. He's still | :06:35. | :06:39. | |
learning a hell of a lot about his players, chopping and changing every | :06:40. | :06:43. | |
single week. He hasn't found a system his players are comfortable | :06:44. | :06:47. | |
in. But we will find out a lot more in the next two or three games. | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Arsenal and Liverpool, two of the three. Seven points behind Chelsea | :06:53. | :06:56. | |
and they cannot afford to go more. And Gundogan will miss that game and | :06:57. | :07:00. | |
plenty of others as well, you will be out for several months after | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
suffering knee ligament damage with that challenge. So sad, looks like | :07:04. | :07:11. | |
we will be out him for a long time, said Pep Guardiola. Two games Back | :07:12. | :07:19. | |
to back now, Stoke against Southampton but first West Ham | :07:20. | :07:24. | |
played host to Burnley who had picked up just one point and scored | :07:25. | :07:30. | |
one goal on the road this season. COMMENTATOR: Feels like it could be | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
a nervous night for West Ham fans, against love and Bill it has | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
basically said is must win, but his team bolstered by the return of Andy | :07:38. | :07:44. | |
Carroll, his first start in the Premier League since the opening | :07:45. | :07:47. | |
weekend of the season. Burnley go looking for that first away win in | :07:48. | :07:50. | |
positive fashion. Andrei Gray alongside Sam Vokes upfront. A | :07:51. | :08:00. | |
minute applause for Peter Braybrook who died after a short illness, one | :08:01. | :08:09. | |
of West Ham's great players. Randolph clears, looking for | :08:10. | :08:16. | |
Carroll, who uses physical attributes to hold onto the ball. | :08:17. | :08:25. | |
Now Payet. Lanzini. Carroll. Left-winger, Andy Carroll. Back to | :08:26. | :08:37. | |
Creswell. Nicely worked by West Ham. Noble looking for Antonio on the | :08:38. | :08:41. | |
stretch. Top scorer for West Ham so far this season but couldn't quite | :08:42. | :08:45. | |
get on the end of that. That's the best we've seen from West Ham so | :08:46. | :08:50. | |
far. Lanzini. Antonio on the run, here. And that will be a corner. For | :08:51. | :09:00. | |
West Ham. First corner of the game. Andy Carroll a man to aim at. A | :09:01. | :09:06. | |
cluster around the edge of the box. Drilled in by Payet. Winston Reid | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
immediately shouting for handball. Bobby Maggi equally quickly said no. | :09:14. | :09:20. | |
It definitely caught unarmed. It's always the question of whether it | :09:21. | :09:22. | |
was in an unnatural position. Carroll saw Creswell early. Find | :09:23. | :09:35. | |
him. Payet roles that into the path of Obie Yang. He has never scored | :09:36. | :09:39. | |
for West Ham, and strikes the outside of the post! Really sweet it | :09:40. | :09:47. | |
from Obiang. Keeper might argue he had it covered. Wonder what the | :09:48. | :09:51. | |
England manager makes of this so far. Creswell in space on the left. | :09:52. | :10:03. | |
Noble opts for Payet. Here is Payet. Great ball to Creswell. Ooh, | :10:04. | :10:09. | |
fantastic block from Matthew Lowton for Burnley because that was heading | :10:10. | :10:13. | |
for the bottom corner. Payet finds Lanzini this time. Payet again | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
dummies the pastor Creswell and it is deflected behind for a corner. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
Really important defending by Matthew Lowton. Creswell hit it | :10:26. | :10:29. | |
well. Third corner for West Ham. Payet finds Noble, and Noble strikes | :10:30. | :10:39. | |
the woodwork again! Obiang first of all hits the post, then Mark Noble. | :10:40. | :10:43. | |
That deserved more. All of a sudden right at the end of the first half | :10:44. | :10:47. | |
the quality has lifted just a little. Antonio. Wins another corner | :10:48. | :10:55. | |
for West Ham. Pressure here from the home team. And the home fans | :10:56. | :11:03. | |
applauding their efforts. That clutch of West Ham players gathered | :11:04. | :11:06. | |
on the edge of the area. Payet floats one towards them. Carroll | :11:07. | :11:12. | |
wins the header. Beaten to it. And then the penalty is given! Right at | :11:13. | :11:17. | |
the end of the first half, Winston Reid was caught as he tried to put | :11:18. | :11:21. | |
away the rebound. And is this going to be the moment for West Ham, is | :11:22. | :11:25. | |
this going to be the night for West Ham? Andy Carroll crucially won the | :11:26. | :11:31. | |
first header. Heat and try to come and collect. Ben Mee court Winston | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
Reid, seemingly, as he went for the rebound. Here comes Noble. Heaton | :11:38. | :11:47. | |
saves, but on the rebound he tucks it away. Poor old Tom Heaton. A huge | :11:48. | :11:53. | |
sigh of relief for Mark Noble and West Ham have the lead in added time | :11:54. | :11:59. | |
at the end of the first half. And West Ham, well, you can see what | :12:00. | :12:06. | |
that means to the manager. Randolph's slice. Very messy at the | :12:07. | :12:14. | |
moment. Burnley free kick, then. So, Slaven Bilic might have something to | :12:15. | :12:20. | |
say about this if it ends up in the back of the West Ham net. Dropping | :12:21. | :12:25. | |
down and hooked wide. Very, very close to a Burnley equaliser. Would | :12:26. | :12:30. | |
have been a very clever finish from Sam Vokes. Just flicked the boot at | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
it. Sir Trevor Brooking taking in the action. Vokes. Looking for our | :12:37. | :12:45. | |
field. Nice first touch. Randolph got a touch and Vokes has headed | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
over the bar. What an opportunity for Burnley to find the equaliser. | :12:52. | :12:57. | |
And Sam Vokes knows he should have scored. Goal at his mercy. Can't | :12:58. | :13:07. | |
believe that he hasn't made it 1-1. Heaton looking for votes. That was a | :13:08. | :13:13. | |
hand, Winston Reid punched it. Yeah. The arm was up in the air to get | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
leveraged for the jump. But there's no argument with the decision and | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
this is definitely in shooting range for Burnley. Our field seems to be | :13:22. | :13:28. | |
lining this up. Here he comes. Through the wall. Great save by | :13:29. | :13:33. | |
Darren Randolph. Strong left arm at full stretch keeps West Ham's lead. | :13:34. | :13:43. | |
Randolph trying to seek out Antonio. Fletcher brings that down nicely. | :13:44. | :13:54. | |
Leaves it to Ayew. Ooh, Ayew almost opens his West Ham account with a | :13:55. | :13:57. | |
wonderfully inventive little chip and run into the area. Couldn't | :13:58. | :14:03. | |
quite find that final finish. Always curling away from the far post. It | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
was a very important game for us considering the situation. We were | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
talking about this game for a long time. Now we have again a massive | :14:14. | :14:16. | |
game on Saturday. I've just said to the boys, it | :14:17. | :14:25. | |
doesn't matter how you play when you are down here, you've just got to | :14:26. | :14:29. | |
win. Especially now, when you need points, I'd rather win than play | :14:30. | :14:36. | |
well. It's a shame that the game was decided on a poor refereeing | :14:37. | :14:40. | |
decision. I didn't see Tom Heaton complaining but you clearly feel he | :14:41. | :14:48. | |
was blocked? It goes against us. If he flails his arms around, the | :14:49. | :14:53. | |
referee probably gives it. If it's a free kick, it's a free kick. Mark | :14:54. | :14:58. | |
Hughes cited Southampton as the template for Stoke to follow over | :14:59. | :15:02. | |
his next 100 games. With two home matches this week his team could be | :15:03. | :15:06. | |
in the top half by Christmas, not bad after a poor start. Shawcross | :15:07. | :15:10. | |
returns from a calf injury, one of three changes, Jon Walters is | :15:11. | :15:16. | |
upfront and Glenn Whelan in midfield. Claude Puel making four | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
changes, among them Shane Long upfront. He is yet to score in the | :15:22. | :15:26. | |
league this season. Davis and Redmond return. This is Zach keery, | :15:27. | :15:38. | |
he has Allen inside him. -- Shaqiri. Forcing forced to turn it behind. | :15:39. | :15:44. | |
Always danger when he's on the ball, nearly catching Fraser Forster | :15:45. | :15:56. | |
flat-footed. Falling to Redmond. Three in the middle. This is Boufal, | :15:57. | :16:04. | |
quick feet from the Moroccan. Almost confused himself but he's won it | :16:05. | :16:09. | |
back and the referee says play on. He gets the shot away and Grant | :16:10. | :16:15. | |
makes the save. These actually lost it, picking the pockets of Whelan. | :16:16. | :16:18. | |
He likes to get a sight of goal. Positive start from the visiting | :16:19. | :16:27. | |
side, just lacking the cutting edge. Taking a tumble, Ward-Prowse. So | :16:28. | :16:35. | |
much talk about diving at the moment in the Premier League. Not sure why | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
he needed to go to the surface there. That is late from Arnautovic | :16:40. | :16:47. | |
and it was high. Now, Anthony Taylor has a decision to make. He's going | :16:48. | :16:51. | |
to have a word with his assistant on the far side, and it's a red card! | :16:52. | :16:56. | |
Arnautovic sent off and Stoke are down to ten men. Real drama at the | :16:57. | :17:06. | |
Bet365 Stadium. Arnautovic's challenge, Boufal going down and | :17:07. | :17:09. | |
Anthony Taylor issues a straight red card. | :17:10. | :17:17. | |
Martins Indi has gone down. The ball was in from Boufal. This is Shane | :17:18. | :17:31. | |
Long, Little elbow. It wasn't spotted by either the referee or his | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
assistance. So much to ponder for Mark Hughes. Certainly he'll have | :17:38. | :17:44. | |
some words for his players at half-time. A long trip for the fans | :17:45. | :17:56. | |
from the south coast ahead of Christmas. Redmond, a saved by | :17:57. | :18:03. | |
Grant. They'll take their time getting it away, through Shawcross. | :18:04. | :18:08. | |
Very calm when you've only got ten men. Shane Long skipping away from | :18:09. | :18:18. | |
Walters. It is all Southampton. Into the box, against Shawcross. Corner | :18:19. | :18:26. | |
Southampton. Not the busiest of nights but he was forced into the | :18:27. | :18:33. | |
save here. Near post and off the line, it appears, by Pieters. | :18:34. | :18:42. | |
Crucial intervention here from Erik Pieters. Didn't know much about it | :18:43. | :18:45. | |
but away to safety and the scores are still level. Martina getting the | :18:46. | :18:53. | |
return, decent ball in, van Dijk is up there. Sterling stuff from Stoke | :18:54. | :19:01. | |
early in the second half, keeping Southampton at bay, but for how long | :19:02. | :19:08. | |
can they do so? Going to the back post, nodded away. Martins Indi, | :19:09. | :19:15. | |
that time. Keeps coming back, Bertrand! Great save, Grant. Fine | :19:16. | :19:23. | |
strike. Through the crowd and Grant gets a very strong left arm on that. | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
Final quarter of the game now. Spoke with ten men keeping it at a | :19:29. | :19:37. | |
stalemate. Threaded through, good chance for Boufal. Somehow couldn't | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
put it away. Rodriguez couldn't make the connection. Steven Davies has | :19:49. | :19:56. | |
made the long run. Pieters couldn't get there with the header. Pieters | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
couldn't get on the end of that either. This time, far less | :20:05. | :20:14. | |
culpable. Straight and at Grant. Misjudge the high ball. | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
Little touch from Grant taking it away from Rodrigues. On-site to | :20:20. | :20:32. | |
deliver the cross. Johnson, away. Southampton corner. So, short | :20:33. | :20:41. | |
corner, played for Martina. Lifted in, looking for Rodriguez. It might | :20:42. | :20:48. | |
fall for Ward-Prowse. Took a touch in going over and a pretty vital | :20:49. | :20:53. | |
touch as well. Bouncing off Johnson, snatched at by Ward-Prowse. The red | :20:54. | :20:58. | |
card, your opinion? Unfortunate, he's obviously caught him high but | :20:59. | :21:04. | |
the ball was bouncing around and having spoken to Marco, he hasn't | :21:05. | :21:12. | |
tried to take the player outcome he just missed the ball and caught him | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
on his thigh. 11 against ten, normally we have to do better. The | :21:19. | :21:25. | |
night was easy for the team to defend against us. Yes, | :21:26. | :21:28. | |
disappointing because it is two points lost and it's a shame. This | :21:29. | :21:36. | |
perception, people feel that Stoke are too aggressive, how concerned | :21:37. | :21:40. | |
are you? It is what it is, we've changed totally from free, four, | :21:41. | :21:46. | |
five years ago and even then it wasn't merited but is this | :21:47. | :21:53. | |
perception is -- but it is the perception. Those days are gone, | :21:54. | :21:57. | |
everyone should catch up. Let's look at the talking point, the early | :21:58. | :22:00. | |
sending-off for Arnautovic, what did you seek? 23 minutes, it was | :22:01. | :22:07. | |
definitely a red card, it was high and dangerous. It was missed time | :22:08. | :22:12. | |
and it was the right decision from the referee. Right on his knee. | :22:13. | :22:18. | |
Definitely a red card. And a three-game ban. Some discussion | :22:19. | :22:25. | |
about whether he wanted Christmas and New Year off, that was so early | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
in the game. And possibly an elbow from Shane Long on Bruno Martins | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
Indi that the reet missed. A bit petty, but that hasn't hurt him that | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
much. Sean Dyche also complained about the referee in the game saying | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
he had missed a foul on Tom Heaton in the build-up to the penalty that | :22:48. | :22:52. | |
won West Ham the game. The Hend are coming in, it is the arm of Kouyate. | :22:53. | :23:00. | |
-- the header. It is the arm of Kouyate coming across Tom Heaton, | :23:01. | :23:04. | |
definite penalty, it was a foul by Mee. The arm just coming across Tom | :23:05. | :23:10. | |
Heaton, I think that's the file and the referee missed it. West Ham's | :23:11. | :23:16. | |
season has turned around, I've seen better performances in their last | :23:17. | :23:20. | |
couple of games. A bit of luck, more spirit and a couple of good fixtures | :23:21. | :23:26. | |
where they can make inroads. A packed evening, time for two games | :23:27. | :23:30. | |
from last night. Coming up, Bournemouth against Leicester but | :23:31. | :23:34. | |
firstly, Arsenal against Everton, who had just one win in ten. | :23:35. | :23:40. | |
COMMENTATOR: With one win in ten, Ronald Koeman has reacted by making | :23:41. | :23:46. | |
four changes including the return of Ross Barkley, left out for the last | :23:47. | :23:50. | |
two matches. Jagielka, Lennon and Valencia are the others. Gareth | :23:51. | :23:58. | |
Barry is rested. Arsenal's only change is enforced with Mustafi | :23:59. | :24:01. | |
injured, Bellerin coming in at right back, allowing Gabriel to move | :24:02. | :24:05. | |
centrally and the Gunners haven't lost an away game since March. | :24:06. | :24:17. | |
Up towards Monreal, whose on-site. -- who is onside. Such a simple task | :24:18. | :24:29. | |
for Arsenal to find a way around Everton, who have given it away. The | :24:30. | :24:37. | |
referee says free kick on the edge of the area and he brandishes a red | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
card. Williams gives it away. Coquelin was trying to get past | :24:43. | :24:46. | |
Jagielka and was caught on his chin. Free kick to the visitors who have | :24:47. | :24:50. | |
been dictating the play on the edge of the area. Sanchez sizing it up, | :24:51. | :24:57. | |
going low and it goes in. Stekelenburg couldn't prevent it and | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
Arsenal are in front. A ricochet as well off Williams to make it even | :25:03. | :25:03. | |
more impossible for Stekelenburg. time. Now we have again a massive | :25:04. | :25:08. | |
game on Saturday. Sanchez will claim it, no doubt | :25:09. | :25:09. | |
about it. 'S Tecklenburg could do nothing to | :25:10. | :25:15. | |
stop it going in. He has had three wins and two draws | :25:16. | :25:35. | |
against Arsenal but he's losing this one. Everton free kick. Good | :25:36. | :25:43. | |
clearance from Monreal, and then Lennon, it seemed to get right at | :25:44. | :25:52. | |
him. Monreal got himself in a model. In the end Lennon didn't have an | :25:53. | :25:55. | |
opportunity to do anything other than instinctively flicked a boot at | :25:56. | :25:58. | |
it. Good ball in, and it goes in! | :25:59. | :26:13. | |
Wonderful back to the other. Cross from Baines, header from Coleman, | :26:14. | :26:16. | |
just before half-time, Everton strike. His third of this campaign. | :26:17. | :26:23. | |
And it was crafted for him by a right footed cross from Leighton | :26:24. | :26:27. | |
Baines. Coleman's flicked header into the corner of the goal. 1-1 and | :26:28. | :26:34. | |
the atmosphere transforms, as does his mood. Coleman losing out. Guided | :26:35. | :26:47. | |
forward. Sanchez. Ozil. He was so careful, so precise. He'd steadied | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
himself. He missed it. And he can't believe it. Jagielka going wrong | :26:54. | :27:01. | |
towards Lukaku. Chested into Ross Barkley, who hits it. And it is only | :27:02. | :27:09. | |
a whisker by. He has been lacking in confidence. A moment like this could | :27:10. | :27:15. | |
just lift him to the player that everyone, including his new manager | :27:16. | :27:20. | |
knows that he can be. Won back by McCarthy. Now McCarthy again. The | :27:21. | :27:29. | |
challenge is illegal and a yellow card for the Arsenal skipper. | :27:30. | :27:40. | |
McCarthy did well. Cossey only thought he got a piece of the ball, | :27:41. | :27:42. | |
he didn't. Baines with the delivery. Out for a | :27:43. | :27:55. | |
corner. Almost wrapping up an unforgettable moment in his young | :27:56. | :27:56. | |
career. Jagielka etiquette and Cech making | :27:57. | :28:06. | |
the save and Jagielka turns away and looks up and thinks, oh, how close | :28:07. | :28:11. | |
did I come to winning the game? Good pressure from Everton. Another good | :28:12. | :28:16. | |
ball in and it's headed in by Williams! His first goal for | :28:17. | :28:25. | |
Everton. Goodison Park erupts. Ashley Williams with a powerful | :28:26. | :28:34. | |
downward header. Considering it was Williams who had the unfortunate | :28:35. | :28:37. | |
deflection that put Arsenal in front, it's fitting that it is the | :28:38. | :28:42. | |
view has helped to complete the turnaround. -- that it is he who has | :28:43. | :28:57. | |
helped to complete. Foul, it is a yellow card, I think, for Jagielka, | :28:58. | :29:04. | |
who has already been booked! It is a very late sending-off and Jagielka | :29:05. | :29:09. | |
will miss the Merseyside derby on Monday. Petr Cech's decided it's | :29:10. | :29:16. | |
time to add his height. Arsenal with the free kick. Stekelenburg getting | :29:17. | :29:21. | |
there in front of Petr Cech, you don't often see goalkeeper in front | :29:22. | :29:29. | |
of goalkeeper. Cech still in there. It won't be, it's not over by any | :29:30. | :29:33. | |
means. Sanchez guiding it in, brilliant by Stekelenburg. It won't | :29:34. | :29:39. | |
become off the line by Baines! The goal-line technology says it didn't | :29:40. | :29:47. | |
cross the line -- Iwobi, off the line. There's no goalkeeper at home! | :29:48. | :29:54. | |
Cech trying to get back. Mirallas can't get to the ball and the third | :29:55. | :29:58. | |
goal won't go in, but the game is surely over. And the whistle-blowing | :29:59. | :30:09. | |
-- the whistle blows, Everton can celebrate a dramatic victory, the | :30:10. | :30:13. | |
final draw at a pulsating Goodison Park, Everton, two, Arsenal, one. | :30:14. | :30:18. | |
I'm really disappointed because Stekelenburg was in a good position | :30:19. | :30:25. | |
to see that they headed the ball out. Not the first time we have been | :30:26. | :30:31. | |
unlucky with a decision this season. I don't want to speak too much about | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
the referee, not my problem. I'm not surprised by his Commons because | :30:37. | :30:39. | |
it's the third time in a row that 5-1 as a manager at home against | :30:40. | :30:45. | |
Arsenal -- by his comments. Three times in a row it was about the | :30:46. | :30:52. | |
referee. OK, sorry, Arsenal, we won, through the referee tonight, sorry. | :30:53. | :30:57. | |
COMMENTATOR: Having been brought on by the -- from the bench at the | :30:58. | :31:02. | |
weekend, Jack Wilshere starts, one of three changes as Marc Pugh makes | :31:03. | :31:06. | |
his first league start of the season and Josh King comes in with top | :31:07. | :31:11. | |
scorer Callum Wilson beginning on the bench and Fraser out injured. | :31:12. | :31:15. | |
Ranieri's only change to the Leicester team that beat Manchester | :31:16. | :31:20. | |
City is enforced, with Hernandez coming in for the suspended Danny | :31:21. | :31:24. | |
Simpson. Drinkwater is available again after completing a ban of his | :31:25. | :31:28. | |
own but he isn't in the squad because of an injury he picked up | :31:29. | :31:34. | |
against Porto. Riyad Mahrez finding Slimani. Slimani to Mahrez again, | :31:35. | :31:42. | |
looking for Vardy. Artur Boruc out quickly to smother out the danger. | :31:43. | :31:48. | |
Ranieri taking charge of his 200th Premier League match as manager this | :31:49. | :31:57. | |
evening. Slimani, was that a dummy? Mahrez going through four Jamie | :31:58. | :32:00. | |
Vardy, who gets away from Artur Boruc. Going wide and prevented from | :32:01. | :32:07. | |
finding the back of the net by a great sliding block from Steve Cook. | :32:08. | :32:12. | |
Excellent pass for Vardy to chase, just going wide and Cook read the | :32:13. | :32:21. | |
danger well. Lovely pass from art to find Daniels. Four in the box. -- | :32:22. | :32:30. | |
Harry Arter. Harry Arter is looking for Wilshere, who is going to have a | :32:31. | :32:36. | |
go. Had to get everything behind that, Zieler. First shot in anger. | :32:37. | :32:40. | |
Teeing up Jack Wilshere who is yet to score for Bournemouth. And | :32:41. | :32:50. | |
Zieler's clearance taking a deflection. He must get back | :32:51. | :32:58. | |
quickly. You -- Pugh is going to have a go. Zieler tried to clear up | :32:59. | :33:04. | |
field, it crashed off the back of Benik Afobe, who didn't do anything | :33:05. | :33:08. | |
wrong. They realise that they were in a race. Pugh with the nice idea | :33:09. | :33:13. | |
but not quite the execution. Down the line for Smith to chase, | :33:14. | :33:29. | |
two in the area, one of them is Afobe! Back in, Pugh! Marc Pugh | :33:30. | :33:37. | |
giving Bournemouth the lead, his first goal of the season, on his | :33:38. | :33:44. | |
first league start of the campaign. Zieler made the initial save, and | :33:45. | :33:49. | |
Pugh was following up. You wonder, having got up and got across, should | :33:50. | :33:59. | |
he have done more? 1-0. Chance here for Francis to advance, kept in for | :34:00. | :34:04. | |
Smith. Huth is a cross. Back for Francis. Needing to off-load to | :34:05. | :34:13. | |
Smith. Adam Smith. Cute pastor Wilshere. Back for Francis, plenty | :34:14. | :34:21. | |
in the area. One of them is Smith -- cute pass for Wilshere. Not far | :34:22. | :34:31. | |
away. He said that the fabulous performance against Manchester City | :34:32. | :34:33. | |
would be forgotten if they didn't pick up results in the following | :34:34. | :34:36. | |
games and they are heading for defeat here. Lovely pass. | :34:37. | :34:44. | |
Albrighton, deep ball, Okazaki was lurking and Ade sending it away for | :34:45. | :34:56. | |
the last corner. -- Ake. Robert Huth will feel disappointed that he | :34:57. | :35:06. | |
didn't get it on target. Mahrez goes down, Leicester free kick. In the | :35:07. | :35:15. | |
last minute of the 90. In from Mahrez, Okazaki couldn't get the | :35:16. | :35:19. | |
touch he was looking ball. Back for Musa now. Not a bad ball. Ulloa | :35:20. | :35:27. | |
somehow denied and Bournemouth have survived. Leonardo Ulloa, yet to | :35:28. | :35:35. | |
score this season, must have thought that was going in. Either side of | :35:36. | :35:41. | |
Artur Boruc and surely it would have been 1-1. The mentality was good, we | :35:42. | :35:46. | |
dominated the ball in the first half and the technical performance was | :35:47. | :35:50. | |
high and in the second half the game changed and we stepped up | :35:51. | :35:52. | |
defensively to the test they gave us. To score the match-winning goal | :35:53. | :35:58. | |
meet a lot to me, first start of this season, which has been | :35:59. | :36:02. | |
difficult because we have a great squad, you've got to be ready when | :36:03. | :36:04. | |
you are called upon and fortunately today I was. Today the luck wasn't | :36:05. | :36:11. | |
with us but the performance was positive, after Manchester City. It | :36:12. | :36:15. | |
wasn't the same performance because after three days, is not possible to | :36:16. | :36:20. | |
recover well but we tried to fight to the end with our strength and | :36:21. | :36:27. | |
quality and also our weakness. I'm pleased with our performance. A good | :36:28. | :36:31. | |
victory for Bournemouth, their fifth clean sheet of the season and Jack | :36:32. | :36:34. | |
Wilshere has already played more times this season 's than the past | :36:35. | :36:41. | |
two seasons behind. -- combined. Player and manager combining | :36:42. | :36:47. | |
beautifully? Eddie Howe has managed him very well. At the start not to | :36:48. | :36:51. | |
put him in the team and then play him 60, 70 minutes to bed him in and | :36:52. | :36:54. | |
now getting the performance like last night... Wilshere is on course | :36:55. | :37:00. | |
to get back to his best, fantastic player but he has been managed | :37:01. | :37:05. | |
superb by Eddie Howe. Arsene Wenger was complaining in the other game | :37:06. | :37:07. | |
about what he thought should have been a goal because it shouldn't | :37:08. | :37:12. | |
have been a corner. He has a point but the eager concern is without Mr | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
RB, how they conceded both goals -- without Mustafi. The caller that | :37:18. | :37:23. | |
comes in, you have the big guys on the pitch, I don't know what Ozil is | :37:24. | :37:30. | |
doing -- the corner that comes in. Ozil actually backs out of the way! | :37:31. | :37:35. | |
He puts his arm in the air, he doesn't want to head it. Brilliant | :37:36. | :37:41. | |
header from Williams. A bad few days but Arsenal, brilliant win for | :37:42. | :37:44. | |
Everton. Let's look at how those games have affected the table. | :37:45. | :37:50. | |
Chelsea extending their lead after a tenth successive victory. | :37:51. | :38:06. | |
The times have gone with Fabregas' winning goal at the Stadium Of | :38:07. | :38:13. | |
Light, moving Chelsea clear at the top. The Daily Express also | :38:14. | :38:17. | |
featuring the Spaniard, ten wins out of ten, and the Daily Mirror | :38:18. | :38:26. | |
focusing on Rojo escaping a red card again after that challenge. | :38:27. | :38:30. | |
Liverpool are the top scorers, they play in bright yellow. Adam is | :38:31. | :38:37. | |
Lallana man! Thanks for watching, goodbye! | :38:38. | :38:40. |
