:00:18. > :00:25.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:26. > :00:37.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!
:00:38. > :00:44.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:45. > :00:53.After a pretty insipid international break,
:00:54. > :00:56.the Premier League returned with a bang today...
:00:57. > :00:58.Seven games on the way, Alan Shearer and Philip Neville are primed.
:00:59. > :01:02.We start with two clubs meeting for the first time in the top flight
:01:03. > :01:05.Bournemouth faced a Hull side who this week saw Mike Phelan
:01:06. > :01:07.finally confirmed as manager on a full-time basis.
:01:08. > :01:14.John Roder was at the Vitality Stadium.
:01:15. > :01:20.meet the new boss, Mike Phelan this head coach at Hull City, his
:01:21. > :01:25.contract lasting until the end of the season. Eddie Howe hinted he may
:01:26. > :01:28.make changes with players coming back from international duties with
:01:29. > :01:33.injuries, but Bournemouth are unchanged from the side that started
:01:34. > :01:36.at Watford. Steve Cook makes his 200th appearance for the jellies.
:01:37. > :01:42.Elmohamady returns from suspension. Mike Phelan makes four changes. We
:01:43. > :01:49.-- Will Keane and Harry Maguire making their first Premier League
:01:50. > :01:52.starts. Shaun Maloney also returns. Eight points from seven matches so
:01:53. > :01:59.far for Bournemouth and clean sheets in their last Premier League
:02:00. > :02:07.encounters here. Hull City, seven points from seven, and without a win
:02:08. > :02:11.in the Premier League since August. Jordan Ibe, create the touch of room
:02:12. > :02:17.for himself there. Gets it back from Wilshere. Wilshere surrounded by
:02:18. > :02:27.four hole players there. Good early pressure from the home side.
:02:28. > :02:44.Gets a free kick. Adam Smith then tumbling. Stanislas, over the wall
:02:45. > :02:47.and against the post. Daniels. Less than five minutes played, and
:02:48. > :02:52.Bournemouth are different. Charlie Daniels with the goal. I reward for
:02:53. > :02:58.Bournemouth's positive beginning to proceedings. Stanislas smashes this
:02:59. > :03:04.one against the bar and it sat up nicely for Daniels, who has room
:03:05. > :03:10.here, and time, to adjust his body position, keep the shot down and
:03:11. > :03:14.fire it in. 11 goals conceded in the three matches coming into this one
:03:15. > :03:23.for Hull City and now a goal behind, early on. All rather quiet at the
:03:24. > :03:29.Vitality. Might get a bit noisier now. Daniels finds Ibe. Wilson
:03:30. > :03:37.against the bar. Drops here for Wilshere. And just cleared away.
:03:38. > :03:43.Callum Wilson can't quite believe that his effort was a fraction too
:03:44. > :03:46.high. Hull guilty of giving Bournemouth far too much room to
:03:47. > :03:58.working. Wilson just hanging back and it was a couple of inches too
:03:59. > :04:05.high. Wilshere. Hold Sloth Clucas. -- he holds off Clucas. A lovely
:04:06. > :04:17.turn from Jordan Ibe. Thinks about a shot and goes for it as well. Always
:04:18. > :04:29.rising from Jordan Ibe. Yet to score for Bournemouth so far. Given away.
:04:30. > :04:34.A chance for Mason to drive it in, took a deflection and it's in, off
:04:35. > :04:40.Steve Cook, and Hull, with virtually their first shot of the match have
:04:41. > :04:43.equalised. It was Cook who gave the ball away initially and as the
:04:44. > :04:49.number three races into the middle here to try and get some touch on it
:04:50. > :04:55.and get it away to safety, he got a touch on it but it was way, way away
:04:56. > :05:01.from safety. Past Orrock, and into the Bournemouth goal. -- it went
:05:02. > :05:05.past Artur Boruc and into the Bournemouth goal. We are into the
:05:06. > :05:12.last five minutes of the first half, plus whatever additional time is to
:05:13. > :05:19.be played. In towards Daniels and the header is in for Steve Cook. And
:05:20. > :05:23.doesn't he celebrate? That weight of responsibility that he surely would
:05:24. > :05:28.have felt, having scored into his own goal, has now come as if by
:05:29. > :05:33.magic, disappeared. Daniels making the jump and Cook gliding in behind
:05:34. > :05:38.him, able to get the finishing touch. It's beyond David Marshall
:05:39. > :05:49.and Bournemouth have restored their lead.
:05:50. > :05:58.Ibe, able to find Daniels, can't get past Snodgrass. A foul on Callum
:05:59. > :06:06.Wilson and Robert Snodgrass is booked for that challenge, sliding
:06:07. > :06:09.in. Lee Mason has a perfect view and points to the sport, and just before
:06:10. > :06:15.the break Bournemouth have the chance to move further in front.
:06:16. > :06:20.Junior Stanislas up against David Marshall, Bicester make it 3-1, and
:06:21. > :06:28.he's done so. -- this will make it 3-1. Broad smiles all round the
:06:29. > :06:31.Vitality and that's something Bournemouth are certainly playing
:06:32. > :06:39.with plenty of today. Straight down the middle. Marshall goes one way.
:06:40. > :06:44.The ball goes into the goal. Welcome to your first full-time managerial
:06:45. > :06:57.role. It has not been a good first half for Hull City. Here's Daniels.
:06:58. > :07:09.Ibe goes past Elmohamady, and again, Ibe with the cross. It's away by
:07:10. > :07:16.Robertson. Keane dispossessed. That's a corner.
:07:17. > :07:25.Defending set pieces has proved problematical for Hull today.
:07:26. > :07:30.Another firm header towards goal from Cook and this time it's pushed
:07:31. > :07:34.over by David Marshall. Cook again able to get in behind the defender.
:07:35. > :07:41.That would have just crept in, but for Marshall's intervention.
:07:42. > :07:49.Smith finds King. In towards Smith. Lovely move from Bournemouth and the
:07:50. > :07:59.finish is applied by Junior Stanislas. Beautiful flowing move
:08:00. > :08:06.from Bournemouth. Josh King, on recently as a substitute, playing an
:08:07. > :08:13.integral part in it. Smith with the ball forward and how about that from
:08:14. > :08:21.a touch, driven across by Smith and all Stanislas how to do was pick his
:08:22. > :08:24.spot. And he picked it perfectly. Bournemouth looking threatening
:08:25. > :08:32.every single time they come into the Hull half. Wilson trying to set up
:08:33. > :08:38.Arter, can't find a way through. Josh King might be able to, he has
:08:39. > :08:43.won a corner. Comes off Curtis Davies. Bournemouth pressing for a
:08:44. > :08:45.fifth goal, they've never scored five in the Premier League. They
:08:46. > :08:58.have now. Callum Wilson with the header. Easy,
:08:59. > :09:06.easy, is the chant from the Bournemouth fans and to be perfectly
:09:07. > :09:10.honest, it has been. King with the lofted ball in. Look how many
:09:11. > :09:15.defenders are in the six yard area. Nobody but nobody challenging Callum
:09:16. > :09:18.Wilson. The look on Mike Phelan's face tells you all you need to know
:09:19. > :09:36.about Hull's performance today. Daniels sets up Gosling. Every
:09:37. > :09:40.single time Bournemouth come forward, Hull look fragile, and they
:09:41. > :09:45.are punished yet again. It's an afternoon to remember for
:09:46. > :09:49.Bournemouth, an afternoon to try and consigned to history as soon as
:09:50. > :09:55.possible for Hull, who have now conceded 17 goals in four matches.
:09:56. > :09:59.Very enjoyable from our perspective. The Premier League games are so
:10:00. > :10:03.tight, usually, today it's nice to be able to enjoy the second half,
:10:04. > :10:07.but we were good today. Gifted them the goal and a way back into the
:10:08. > :10:10.game but apart from that we were faultless, really. There's times in
:10:11. > :10:14.the game when we looked as though we had an opportunity and then that
:10:15. > :10:17.slipped by through lack of concentration, maybe a bit of
:10:18. > :10:22.naivete, but we've got to do better as a group. I put myself in that
:10:23. > :10:26.category and we have to learn the lessons quickly. We've worked hard
:10:27. > :10:30.over the past two weeks. Home form wasn't the best last year, something
:10:31. > :10:34.we were keen to put right this year and we have started well and
:10:35. > :10:37.hopefully we can continue. Talk us through your powerful header that
:10:38. > :10:40.restored the lead? I was annoyed with the goal I had given away so I
:10:41. > :10:43.restored the lead? I was annoyed with the goal I had given away so I
:10:44. > :10:46.tried to make amends for it and luckily enough it found the bottom
:10:47. > :10:50.corner. The emotions came out and then we kicked on. I thought we were
:10:51. > :10:55.excellent. How concerned are you with the fact you are letting in a
:10:56. > :10:58.lot of goals, particularly in the last four matches? Far too many and
:10:59. > :11:03.I take responsibility for that simply because we try to be
:11:04. > :11:05.proactive, we try to be on the front foot and we probably overexposed
:11:06. > :11:10.ourselves a little bit and that's down to the planning issue. I will
:11:11. > :11:14.look at myself. I'm sure the players will look at themselves and we start
:11:15. > :11:17.again. Some of our attacking play was very good today at the
:11:18. > :11:21.difference has been clinical when the chances came and it hasn't been
:11:22. > :11:25.the case is always this season. It's great to share the goals around and
:11:26. > :11:29.no other team we have the ability to score goals. It means everything.
:11:30. > :11:33.Three home wins on the bounce for Bournemouth, a wonderful performance
:11:34. > :11:38.to boot. It must be difficult to pick out any individuals, of the
:11:39. > :11:43.team performance, but you have had a go. Stanislas and Ibe terrorised the
:11:44. > :11:49.back four of Hull all afternoon, they were so positive. Every time
:11:50. > :11:53.either of them got the ball, they just dragged their team forward.
:11:54. > :11:59.They had pace, they were direct, they were prepared to gamble and
:12:00. > :12:02.take the defenders on. They were held by Hull defence who were all
:12:03. > :12:09.over the place, who were not prepared to get tight, but this is a
:12:10. > :12:13.brilliant free kick. Unlucky it doesn't go in anyway but the force
:12:14. > :12:18.of Charlie Daniels, it's a superb finish with his left foot. Snodgrass
:12:19. > :12:22.lets him run into the middle of the midfield and there's no pressure on
:12:23. > :12:27.the ball. But they were driving at them constantly, first half,
:12:28. > :12:32.second-half, lovely bits of skill. Time after time they were having
:12:33. > :12:37.efforts on goal. Let them turn once again. They just could not handle
:12:38. > :12:41.the both of them all afternoon. Have another shot at goal. This is a
:12:42. > :12:47.superb free kick from the distance out to get the whip and the pace,
:12:48. > :12:51.it's a great header from Steve. What about that, confidence, arrogance if
:12:52. > :12:54.you want, straight down the middle from Stanislas. It didn't change in
:12:55. > :12:57.the second half, they did exactly the same thing. They got the ball
:12:58. > :13:02.and Elmohamady doesn't know whether to go down the line or cut back
:13:03. > :13:06.inside as he did their, and it's another superb ball into the box and
:13:07. > :13:10.Stanislas gets his second goal with a superb finish. It could have been
:13:11. > :13:14.more, but Bournemouth were absolutely brilliant all afternoon.
:13:15. > :13:19.A fabulous achievement, what Eddie Howe has done that Bournemouth
:13:20. > :13:22.Football Club. Given I suppose the dearth of obvious candidates for the
:13:23. > :13:26.England job, would he be worth considering? Is teams play lovely
:13:27. > :13:31.football. He has brought them up. He has not suffered too much failure in
:13:32. > :13:35.his career? I think he has impressed everyone, both the way he handles
:13:36. > :13:38.himself off the pitch and the way his team play their football but he
:13:39. > :13:43.himself has said he isn't ready, he wants to develop and asked to do a
:13:44. > :13:48.job at Bournemouth. As for Hull, Mike Phelan has the job but it's
:13:49. > :13:52.going to be tough, looking at that performance and the fact they are in
:13:53. > :13:54.a bad run. They are in a bad run. I think they are missing Michael
:13:55. > :13:57.Dawson at the back. Today, they couldn't live with the intensity of
:13:58. > :14:04.Bournemouth and they need to stop conceding goals because they were
:14:05. > :14:08.all over the place at the back. Francesco Guidolin was the first
:14:09. > :14:13.managerial casualty of the season for Swansea.
:14:14. > :14:15.His replacement, former USA coach Bob Bradley,
:14:16. > :14:17.had a nice easy start at Arsenal, who were chasing
:14:18. > :14:29.Mesut Ozil hopes to celebrate his 28th birthday with something
:14:30. > :14:34.special. They have lost only one of their last 17 games. Bob Bradley
:14:35. > :14:39.embarks on a new stage of the coaching career that has expanded
:14:40. > :14:45.over 25 years. His first selection sees Gulbis Sigurdsson players are
:14:46. > :14:47.false nine in what is his 100th play asked in his 100th game for the club
:14:48. > :15:03.over two spells. Here's Walcott. Jack Cork, there.
:15:04. > :15:09.Sanchez. Fernandez, a good one. Taylor with the wayward backpass.
:15:10. > :15:16.Oh, it is a corner. Just failed Fabianski to prevent that. Ozil is
:15:17. > :15:29.going to take it. Took it carefully. Hits the top of the crossbar.
:15:30. > :15:32.Fabianski happy to see that hit the woodwork. Iwobi. Good ball that.
:15:33. > :15:49.Walcott. Sanchez. Looking for Hector. Walcott. Swansea
:15:50. > :15:53.fall behind to Theo Walcott. Sniffing in the six-yard area and
:15:54. > :15:59.taking advantage of a secondary hesitation between goalkeeper and
:16:00. > :16:10.defender. This was lifted into Bellerin. He looked for Theo
:16:11. > :16:18.Walcott. It bounced up off Amat. Walcott lurking. Arsenal 1, Swansea
:16:19. > :16:19.0. Big momentses these for Swansea. Physical they fall two behind,
:16:20. > :16:38.they're in real bother. Naughton. Clever ball that, too. Scooped on by
:16:39. > :16:44.Walcott. Here's Mesut Ozil. Hector Bellerin. Almost a peach from
:16:45. > :16:51.Arsenal. In the end, Fabianski to the rescue for Swansea. What a
:16:52. > :16:54.glorious move here. Taking you by surprise with almost every pass.
:16:55. > :17:05.Then a really good save by Fabianski. In goes that corner kick.
:17:06. > :17:12.Oh. It's two. It's wall got, again. -- it's Walcott, again. Jack Cork
:17:13. > :17:16.ended up face down on the floor. Embarrassment of riches for Theo
:17:17. > :17:21.Walcott, who can hardly miss. The bounce is unlucky. Cork didn't get
:17:22. > :17:28.enough on it. It bounced back to Walcott off Sigurdsson. It's 2-0 to
:17:29. > :17:41.Arsenal. It's two for Theo Walcott. Not the stuff of his dreams so far.
:17:42. > :17:46.Here's Naughton. A challenge by Granit Xhaka which the referee
:17:47. > :17:54.allowed to go. Swansea on the front foot, not for long. Given away. Now,
:17:55. > :17:58.Sigurdsson for Swansea, 2-1. Granit Xhaka gave the ball away and Gylfi
:17:59. > :18:04.Sigurdsson fires Swansea back into this game. Well, Arsenal have been
:18:05. > :18:11.absolutely water tight at the back in recent weeks, not here. Caught in
:18:12. > :18:17.possession. Granit Xhaka. Finished expertly by Gylfi Sigurdsson. It's a
:18:18. > :18:20.very good finish. Completely against the run of play. He Swansea are back
:18:21. > :18:39.into this game at 2-1. Ozil. Monreal. Ozil. Nicely done, Iwobi.
:18:40. > :18:44.Brilliant stuff. Great feet. Iwobi couldn't find anyone. It's a shame.
:18:45. > :18:51.Oh, brilliant save. Well, Theo Walcott denied a hat-trick by
:18:52. > :18:56.Fabianski. What a superb piece of play that from Alex Iwobi. That was
:18:57. > :19:03.magic. Nearly teed up a Walcott hat-trick.
:19:04. > :19:24.Swansea on the rack again. Back into Sanchez. Ozil. Happy birthday. 3-1,
:19:25. > :19:34.Arsenal. Fantastic finish by Mesut Ozil. Left-footed volley. Smack...
:19:35. > :19:39.This is lovely thinking from Alexis Sanchez. Ozil still has so much to
:19:40. > :19:48.do. He could not have hit it any more sweetly. Arsenal 3, Swansea 1.
:19:49. > :19:51.Mesut Ozil, 28 today. Swansea will have to change something if they're
:19:52. > :19:57.going to get something out of this game. Here's Mesut Ozil. Finds Leroy
:19:58. > :20:17.Fer. Barrow taking on Monreal. Into a
:20:18. > :20:22.dangerous position, and it's 3-2. Borja put Swansea back in the game
:20:23. > :20:26.again, the substitute strikes. Once again, Swansea find themselves
:20:27. > :20:34.within range of Arsenal. Barrow did really well here. Great awareness.
:20:35. > :20:40.Borja wasn't picked up. His first goal in English football. It's
:20:41. > :20:49.Arsenal 3, Swansea 2, with 24 minutes still to play. Alexis, nice.
:20:50. > :20:58.Out to Monreal. Walcott, at the back post, he wants it. It was intended
:20:59. > :21:04.for Cazorla. Well cut out by Amat. He will get a yellow card here. No
:21:05. > :21:11.question about that. Barrow had turned him, with a lovely little
:21:12. > :21:16.piece of skill. Well, it's a red. A straight red card for Granit Xhaka.
:21:17. > :21:21.That could be a game-changer. Arsene Wenger is astonished. It's a
:21:22. > :21:26.brilliant piece of skill by Barrow. Granit Xhaka is completely beaten.
:21:27. > :21:33.And trips him. Knew what he was doing. Pretty much immediately
:21:34. > :21:36.acknowledged the foul as well. Well, Arsene Wenger is absolutely
:21:37. > :21:42.incensed. 20 minutes to go. We've had five goals and a red card. What
:21:43. > :21:51.do the next 20 minutes hold? Routledge. Look at this, free
:21:52. > :21:57.header. Ah, Barrow, straight in to Cech. No flag, he was onside. It's a
:21:58. > :21:59.real let-off for Arsenal. I just is sense down in that Swansea dug-out
:22:00. > :22:12.they can nick something here. He knows he can beat Monreal for
:22:13. > :22:16.pace. It's a great ball. Well, Sigurdsson is the man they would
:22:17. > :22:24.have wanted on it. But he couldn't finish it. Fascinating. Much closer
:22:25. > :22:29.than it should be. Fer. He's lost it. Could be danger here. Alex
:22:30. > :22:36.Oxlade-Chamberlain. It's him and Walcott. Rangel's the last man back.
:22:37. > :22:40.It found its way to Walcott. It's hit the inside of the post. You
:22:41. > :22:46.don't come closer to a hat-trick than that. Great counter-attack.
:22:47. > :22:56.Unbelievable unlucky not to make it three for him and four for Arsenal.
:22:57. > :23:06.Neil Taylor. Ki will get on to that. Find Rangel. Naughton. Up towards
:23:07. > :23:11.Leroy Fer. Ah! They've had their chances, Leroy Fer has had a couple
:23:12. > :23:19.today. With two minutes to go, will they get a better chance? Rangel, it
:23:20. > :23:25.has to go long and it's got to go long quickly. Fer, wrong part of the
:23:26. > :23:35.head. Oxlade-Chamberlain. Away from Leroy Fer. It's Walcott. Hat-trick,
:23:36. > :23:40.surely. NO! Unbelievable. It may not affect the outcome, but how is this
:23:41. > :23:47.not a fourth and a hat-trick for Walcott? He knows it. Oh, he knows
:23:48. > :23:52.it all right. I would have liked to have put it away and got a hat-trick
:23:53. > :23:57.on a personal note much we dug in. When you are playing for 24, 25
:23:58. > :24:02.minutes with 10-men is not easy in the Premier League. It's a strong
:24:03. > :24:06.Swansea team. A manager who has come in with new ideas, I'm sure they
:24:07. > :24:09.will improve. If we play with the kind of mentality we had today for
:24:10. > :24:14.me, we are going to become a good team. But when you go through a
:24:15. > :24:19.stretch of tough fixtures, when there has been a managerial change,
:24:20. > :24:23.there is a lot there, but the response of the players has been
:24:24. > :24:26.very, very good. The Xhaka incident and red card incident happened in
:24:27. > :24:31.front of you. I'm guessing you saw that one? I saw that one. I
:24:32. > :24:37.cannot... I thought it was a bit harsh to be sent off it was a
:24:38. > :24:40.deliberate and I thought it was a dark yellow and it became an
:24:41. > :24:46.absolute red. That made it of course difficult for us. And, but we got
:24:47. > :24:50.over the line. Yeah, yellow would have done probably, wouldn't it? I
:24:51. > :24:56.don't how many times over the years we have talked about the pros and
:24:57. > :25:02.cons of Theo Walcott. You are entitled to turn? For someone of 27
:25:03. > :25:06.years of age he under performed. Injuries have restricted him. This
:25:07. > :25:10.season he's a player improving. Consistency is improving. Five goals
:25:11. > :25:14.already in eight games. He scored two today. He should have scored
:25:15. > :25:19.four. At least three. This was the first one. He has license to go
:25:20. > :25:23.inside. People seem him as a right-winger. I think he's at his
:25:24. > :25:27.best wandering inside. Poor defending from Swansea. This was his
:25:28. > :25:31.second goal. Opportunist. He was in the right place at the right time. A
:25:32. > :25:35.good finish. I think it's moments like this where he is frustrating.
:25:36. > :25:40.Ball into the box. There. He has to score. It's a simple chance with his
:25:41. > :25:44.left foot. This I thoughts with a great counter-attack. He made up the
:25:45. > :25:48.ground. Used his speed. Did everything but score, unlucky there.
:25:49. > :25:51.Then this is where I think he has to be going home with the match-ball.
:25:52. > :25:56.Ball comes into the box. He couldn't quite sort his feet out. I think
:25:57. > :26:00.that's why people always say, is he going to fulfil his potential.
:26:01. > :26:05.In-form, not really for England No. He has had enough chances, Gary.
:26:06. > :26:10.Which have this discussion every year about Theo. You see his stats
:26:11. > :26:14.on the screen. Only once in double figures. It's not God enough. If we
:26:15. > :26:17.continue to talk about him in the next two or three years to say he
:26:18. > :26:20.has scored so many goals and he's been brilliant. I will change my
:26:21. > :26:25.mind much I will say he's a good player. At the minute he's a good
:26:26. > :26:29.player. Tough afternoon for Swansea in many ways. They battled away.
:26:30. > :26:34.They had chances. They could have got something out of the game.
:26:35. > :26:40.Encouraging signs for Bob Bradley They have had difficult games. Two
:26:41. > :26:44.impressive performances against City and against Liverpool. Created their
:26:45. > :26:47.chances in those games. They didn't get anything out of them. Phil? No.
:26:48. > :26:54.The lad on the ball had a fantastic game. He gave nightmares to Monreal.
:26:55. > :26:57.Here is one v one with him. When you take over a team, so early in the
:26:58. > :27:04.season, you think they are in disarray. Look at the players they
:27:05. > :27:07.are committing forward. I think Francesco Guidolin was unlucky to be
:27:08. > :27:11.sacked. They have not been putting away their chances. This has been
:27:12. > :27:13.their biggest problem in the last four games. They are not punishing
:27:14. > :27:18.teams for the chances they are creating. Again, getting lots of
:27:19. > :27:23.people in the box. Barrow goes passed Monreal again. Sigurdsson
:27:24. > :27:26.should at least hit the target. They did, they created chances
:27:27. > :27:30.particularly when they were against the 10-men. They kept on pushing
:27:31. > :27:33.forward. These aren't half-chances. These are very, very good chances.
:27:34. > :27:38.#24e7 created the openings there. Bodies in the box. They should be
:27:39. > :27:42.doing better. They will go home tonight on the bus, how they get
:27:43. > :27:48.home, disappointing they came awhich with a defeat and nothing. OK.
:27:49. > :28:02.COMMENTATOR: Schmeichel was beaten. It needed saving by Brav row.
:28:03. > :28:13.Another excellent stop from Foster. -- Bravo. Oh, my word. Benteke!
:28:14. > :28:16.Chelsea faced champions Leicester for the second time this season
:28:17. > :28:18.after getting the better of a six goal thriller in the
:28:19. > :28:21.Your commentator at Stamford Bridge was Steve Bower.
:28:22. > :28:25.Kante missed one Premier League game for Leicester in their fairytale
:28:26. > :28:29.title winning season. The French international faces his former club
:28:30. > :28:33.for the first time since his ?32 million move to Chelsea. The
:28:34. > :28:37.champions have undoubtedly missed Claudio Ranieri's first Leicester
:28:38. > :28:43.signing, conceding ten goals on the road already. The responsibility to
:28:44. > :28:44.fill his boots, once again, falls upon the shoulders of Daniel, Amat
:28:45. > :29:09.a. -- both teams are wearing black
:29:10. > :29:14.armbands. Moses. An extended run in the team, Moses. Up against Fuchs.
:29:15. > :29:17.Deflected cross. Good reaction from Schmeichel. He had to be alive to
:29:18. > :29:22.the situation there, Kasper Schmeichel. He was equal to it.
:29:23. > :29:27.First corner of the game is Chelsea's. Hazard. Touch through.
:29:28. > :29:33.Surely a goal. It is. He couldn't miss, Diego Costa, could he? It's
:29:34. > :29:38.taken him less than seven minutes to score his seventh Premier League
:29:39. > :29:43.goal of the season. Chelsea's main man in the right place again.
:29:44. > :29:49.Leicester will ask questions. Nobody anywhere near him. Schmeichel got a
:29:50. > :29:54.hand to it. It was too powerful for him. Just the start he was looking
:29:55. > :30:00.for. Not the one that Leicester were.
:30:01. > :30:03.Chelsea in front, only Arsenal have stopped them scoring so far in the
:30:04. > :30:15.league. Hazard was caught late by Huth, the
:30:16. > :30:20.referee is reaching, the first yellow card of the day goes to
:30:21. > :30:24.Robert Huth, his 300th career league appearance in England, the first of
:30:25. > :30:29.which was for Claudio Ranieri is a 17-year-old for Chelsea. Are we
:30:30. > :30:34.going to see something special from his repertoire? Here he comes, David
:30:35. > :30:40.Luiz. Very nearly did. Schmeichel was beaten, all ends up. Almost got
:30:41. > :30:57.his first goal back in his second spell. Crashed against the woodwork.
:30:58. > :31:14.The run down the middle, it might come to Hazard. 2-0, to Chelsea. As
:31:15. > :31:18.sure as ever from Eden Hazard. He scores his third Premier League goal
:31:19. > :31:25.of the season. He gives the scoreline a realistic look. It was a
:31:26. > :31:30.little untidy as to how it came through to the Belgian. There was
:31:31. > :31:34.moth-eaten untidy about the finish. There's nothing more that -- there
:31:35. > :31:39.was nothing untidy about the finish, nothing more than Chelsea have
:31:40. > :31:48.deserved. Total domination from Chelsea. Drinkwater to pick out
:31:49. > :31:53.Hernandez. The crossing towards Vardy, David Luiz went flying in.
:31:54. > :31:58.The first corner of any note that's gone into the Chelsea penalty area.
:31:59. > :32:04.Keep your eye on David Luiz as this comes in, he was certainly
:32:05. > :32:06.committed. Over both Hazard and Christian Fuchs, the challenge from
:32:07. > :32:23.Pedro. Kante finds Costa. Just clipped there, Diego Costa, by
:32:24. > :32:31.Albrighton. David Luiz understandably over the ball again.
:32:32. > :32:40.Schmeichel with the save. That came off Morgan, gathered in the end by
:32:41. > :32:46.Kasper Schmeichel. His 350th league appearance that England, kept it at
:32:47. > :32:53.two, he will certainly need to have some words at the break. Chelsea get
:32:54. > :32:57.us under way in the second half. No changes from either side. Leicester
:32:58. > :33:04.have to try and devise a plan to change the scoreline. Big appeals
:33:05. > :33:08.for hands in the first few seconds of the second half. Pedro with the
:33:09. > :33:09.shot, certainly struck his arm. Deliberate movement? Andre Marriner
:33:10. > :33:21.said, no. Better from Leicester, a bit more
:33:22. > :33:28.drive to their play. It's come through to Schlupp. He ran straight
:33:29. > :33:31.up Moses. Andre Marriner was an excellent position. There was
:33:32. > :33:44.nothing doing here. Leicester are on the ball more in
:33:45. > :33:47.the second half so far. That's useful from Drinkwater. Albrighton
:33:48. > :33:54.trying to get it across. He's got Leicester a corner. Albrighton to
:33:55. > :34:02.take. In towards Amartey, away by Pedro. It's Kante who is the most
:34:03. > :34:07.advanced player. He's got Moses up with him and he's seen him. It's
:34:08. > :34:12.Victor Moses for Chelsea and it's a good strong hand from Kasper
:34:13. > :34:17.Schmeichel. Kante was the most unlikely player to be found in this
:34:18. > :34:21.kind of situation, but he had the vision and awareness to pick out
:34:22. > :34:32.Moses, who took it first time. Schmeichel was equal to it.
:34:33. > :34:42.The crossfield ball from Drinkwater. Hernandez, then Albrighton's own
:34:43. > :34:49.cross, almost an own goal from David Luiz. Swept in by Albrighton, David
:34:50. > :34:57.Luiz at full stretch with Vardy right behind him almost diverted in
:34:58. > :35:05.the past to Courtois. -- almost diverted the past, to Courtois. Back
:35:06. > :35:09.to Kante. Denied a goal against his former club. It came back to Kante
:35:10. > :35:13.and Wes Morgan did brilliantly to deny the former Leicester player a
:35:14. > :35:21.goal against the reigning champions. Leicester were just eight goals in
:35:22. > :35:29.their seven Premier League games so far.
:35:30. > :35:38.Moses, that will seal it. Victor Moses with his second Premier League
:35:39. > :35:45.goal of the season. Chelsea's third of the day. He started cutting in
:35:46. > :35:53.from the left-hand side, got it back Chalobah Rand a finish, you have to
:35:54. > :35:57.say, excellent work from the substitute, Chalobah, and Schmeichel
:35:58. > :36:06.could do nothing about that one. A satisfying day's work for Chelsea.
:36:07. > :36:12.3-0. There were positive things we know we can improve, but also we
:36:13. > :36:19.know that this is the right way, the right way is this, and I saw a good
:36:20. > :36:24.balance for the second game, for the second consecutive game, without
:36:25. > :36:29.conceding a goal and it's very important. We are all satisfied I
:36:30. > :36:33.think, we played well in the first half. The second half was a bit
:36:34. > :36:37.different because they pressed a lot, they created some chances but
:36:38. > :36:45.we scored three goals. We could score more but for others, it was
:36:46. > :36:51.good to come back and win in front of our fans. It's a good day for
:36:52. > :36:56.Chelsea. 13 goals you've conceded four games on the road. How much of
:36:57. > :37:01.a concern is that, given how strong you were last season? It's very
:37:02. > :37:05.strange, nobody recognises that most of last season. We must work more,
:37:06. > :37:13.more and more concentration during the match. What has happened to my
:37:14. > :37:17.team? It's all gone wrong! It's all gone wrong, I don't like it. I can
:37:18. > :37:22.draw parallels with Blackburn when we won the league in 1995, we lost
:37:23. > :37:25.our first four away games of the season but we didn't sign any
:37:26. > :37:30.players to push is on that year. Leicester have signed players this
:37:31. > :37:33.year, so that you can't really use as an excuse. Those players should
:37:34. > :37:37.be pushing the players that are already there, keeping them on their
:37:38. > :37:40.toes and not doing the dirty work. They're not doing the basics, the
:37:41. > :37:44.dirty side of the game, closing people down, like they were last
:37:45. > :37:49.year. They were hard and tough to play against last year, this year,
:37:50. > :37:53.they are not. Particularly away from home. They conceded three set pieces
:37:54. > :37:57.to Man United last game, you would think they would be on their toes
:37:58. > :38:01.for the set pieces. If that ball goes short, as it does, it's
:38:02. > :38:05.Drinkwater's job to clear it. Simple. It comes into the near post
:38:06. > :38:09.and he's not even looking at the ball. He should be looking at the
:38:10. > :38:14.ball and the man also. It goes short. Morgan is with Costa. Have a
:38:15. > :38:22.look at Morgan. He is frozen to the sport. He doesn't even move. He's
:38:23. > :38:25.meant to be marking Costa. He is now 12 yards off him. You can't give
:38:26. > :38:28.that amount of time to a goal-scorer. No pressure on the
:38:29. > :38:33.ball. No one wants to work hard. To do the ugly side of things. Schlupp
:38:34. > :38:37.is with Hazard, or he should be. What Hernandez is doing, I'm not
:38:38. > :38:41.sure. There's no pressure on the ball so it's an easy ball in and
:38:42. > :38:46.Hazard should do better. Time to turn on the halfway line. Someone go
:38:47. > :38:51.and close someone down. Full-back to Moses, it's a brilliant goal from
:38:52. > :38:57.Chelsea's point of view but no one wants to close down. It was far too
:38:58. > :39:02.easy. For Chelsea. I know they lost Kante, who was a big loss to them,
:39:03. > :39:05.and I think particularly away from home he has to look at changing the
:39:06. > :39:09.system because they haven't got enough bodies in midfield, haven't
:39:10. > :39:14.got enough men to do the running, to do the dirty work, they constantly
:39:15. > :39:18.played two upfront and teams are picking them off. Totally agree, it
:39:19. > :39:22.makes you realise what a miracle it was last season. A change of system
:39:23. > :39:31.for Chelsea and it seems to be having a positive effect on Eden
:39:32. > :39:34.Hazard? It has, Chelsea have disappointed be the most, until he's
:39:35. > :39:36.gone to three at the back, the system he prefers and it means Eden
:39:37. > :39:39.Hazard has come more inside along with Pedro Rod Costa and he's
:39:40. > :39:43.playing really high upfront. He's got license to go free and he's
:39:44. > :39:47.having more influence on this game. If you see here he's in a central
:39:48. > :39:51.position. Morgan goes tight with Costa, he sees the space in behind,
:39:52. > :39:55.he has the intelligence to see that and makes a run. I think it should
:39:56. > :39:58.actually do better with this opportunity but it was the way he
:39:59. > :40:04.saw the space and went into it. We've always seen him in wide areas.
:40:05. > :40:07.He is brilliant one against one, and nightmare for defenders. He has a
:40:08. > :40:10.low sense of gravity. With Eden Hazard, this was his goal, the
:40:11. > :40:20.highest up the pitch, almost playing centre forward at times today, he's
:40:21. > :40:22.got that licence to be wherever he wants to be. He's got the flicks,
:40:23. > :40:26.the quality, but with Eden Hazard I always think in a game like this if
:40:27. > :40:29.he wants to be a great, great footballer, he's got to be scoring
:40:30. > :40:33.two or three goals and he's got to add that ruthlessness to his game.
:40:34. > :40:36.This system suits him down to a tee. Certainly does. Let's move on.
:40:37. > :40:39.To the Etihad now where leaders Manchester City faced Everton.
:40:40. > :40:41.Pep Guardiola and Ronald Koeman were once room-mates at Barcelona -
:40:42. > :40:45.anyone here not played for Barcelona - but this was their first meeting
:40:46. > :41:01.Pep Guardiola once took guidance from Ronald Koeman, both learned
:41:02. > :41:05.from the late great Johan Cruyff. Let's hope we get a game of the
:41:06. > :41:10.quality always delivered by the dutch master. For the first time
:41:11. > :41:14.since his move from Merseyside, John Stones faces the club with whom you
:41:15. > :41:18.became Premier League player. How he handles being up against Romelu
:41:19. > :41:26.Lukaku could be key. The Belgian is on a roll of goals of five in his
:41:27. > :41:36.last four games. City have started with a back three of Otamendi,
:41:37. > :41:40.Stones and Clichy. Sane easily passed Oviedo. As you'd expect with
:41:41. > :41:45.this sort of line-up, with this emphasis on the attack right from
:41:46. > :41:51.the start, from City. Leroy Psalm with the first clear demonstration
:41:52. > :41:53.of his abilities -- Leroy Sane. The Manchester City boss was
:41:54. > :41:58.philosophical after losing for the first time at Spurs a fortnight ago.
:41:59. > :42:09.Sometimes it happens, it will help us improve. The referee thought it
:42:10. > :42:23.was just a fall. Oviedo's attempt at clearance, half stopped by De Bruyne
:42:24. > :42:27.and here's Silva. Williams came in to charge down his attempted thread
:42:28. > :42:31.through. How close was this to being a Manchester City penalty? Rather
:42:32. > :42:39.jumped into the challenge, Oviedo, who was being mesmerised by the
:42:40. > :42:40.dancing feet of Sane. Sane went to the floor, might have hindered
:42:41. > :42:57.rather than helped his case. Fernandinho, Yannick Bolasie has
:42:58. > :43:10.read that. The clearance is poor, straight to De Bruyne. Is away from
:43:11. > :43:14.Barry, trying to turn from Jagielka, as -- we stumble from Silva and a
:43:15. > :43:20.penalty for Manchester City. Phil Jagielka is on his knees and
:43:21. > :43:30.reflecting on a right old Everton mess. It was Coleman and Jagielka in
:43:31. > :43:36.one another's way. It looks as though they'd sorted it out here.
:43:37. > :43:38.But then as Jagielka stretched out the leg backwards, after the bounds
:43:39. > :43:44.of the ball took it back into Silva's pass, he did when down the
:43:45. > :43:52.Spaniard and that's why Kevin De Bruyne now has the chance to give
:43:53. > :43:57.City the lead. De Bruyne's effort, saved. Stekelenburg went the right
:43:58. > :44:04.way and it was at a lovely height for him. Perfect for the keeper.
:44:05. > :44:06.Manchester City's overall dominance of the game still not reflected in
:44:07. > :44:28.the scoreline. Otamendi, that's got straight to
:44:29. > :44:35.Yannick Bolasie. Deulofeu easily gets away from Otamendi and it
:44:36. > :44:41.needed saving by Bravo. Everton Fire won in on the City goal. That's just
:44:42. > :44:45.about the first thing that Claudio Bravo has had to do with his hands
:44:46. > :44:49.all afternoon. I'm sure this won't be the only Manchester versus
:44:50. > :44:50.Merseyside meeting he attends this weekend. Monday night, he'll be at
:44:51. > :45:03.Anfield. Iheanacho, Silva. Now Sane. Flicked
:45:04. > :45:09.towards goal. Kept out by Stekelenburg. Brill yanltly worked
:45:10. > :45:14.by City. Clever attempt at a finish from Iheanacho. Not quite enough on
:45:15. > :45:20.it to find a way past Maarten Stekelenburg. You can see why Ronald
:45:21. > :45:33.Koeman's Everton are yet to concede more than one goal in any Premier
:45:34. > :45:42.League game. De Bruyne. Brilliant interception from Jagielka. Bolasie
:45:43. > :45:51.turns to it Lukaku. He's got to do it by himself. Lukaku goes on.
:45:52. > :46:01.Lukaku scores. Brilliantly taken goal. The Everton smash-and-grab is
:46:02. > :46:04.on. It was thought that Everton might threaten on the counter at
:46:05. > :46:12.some point today, but they haven't really done so until now. A gorgeous
:46:13. > :46:16.flick from Bolasie. But, goodness me, how much did Lukaku have to do
:46:17. > :46:20.from there? And, he did it perfectly. Manchester City 0,
:46:21. > :46:30.Everton 1. Fernandinho. Aguero. Penalty shouts, another
:46:31. > :46:48.penalty given. Another one conceded by Phil
:46:49. > :46:53.Jagielka. Jagielka's defending, for the most part today, has been
:46:54. > :46:58.exemplary. He's got it wrong just a couple of times. First time round it
:46:59. > :47:02.didn't cost his side, but he's miss-timed that one hopelessly.
:47:03. > :47:06.Having seen De Bruyne fail, and having failed himself in the colours
:47:07. > :47:15.of Argentina, during the international break, it's Sergio
:47:16. > :47:24.Aguero's turn. Aguero. Saved again by Stekelenburg! Everton's
:47:25. > :47:29.superstar. Twice he went left, twice he's denied. Two of the best players
:47:30. > :47:33.in the world. Again, it's a nice height. Again, you've got to say,
:47:34. > :47:45.goes down as a pretty poor penalty effort. Aguero. Silva, Aguero! And
:47:46. > :47:52.Stekelenburg's kept out another one. He's having one of those days that
:47:53. > :48:00.goalkeepers dream of. Helped on by Otamendi. Stones.
:48:01. > :48:11.Fernandinho, bounces off Stones. Sterling finds De Bruyne. Silva.
:48:12. > :48:17.Silva, in. That won't beat Stekelenburg. It's Nolito who has
:48:18. > :48:25.headed City level. I'm pretty sure that's his first touch of the ball.
:48:26. > :48:30.He's just come on for Leroy Sane. And David Silva puts in the perfect
:48:31. > :48:33.cross. He came off the bench to score for Spain in a 2-0 win in
:48:34. > :48:38.Albania in the week. Comes off the bench and does that inside a minute
:48:39. > :48:45.today, and it's his 30th birthday. Some substitution.
:48:46. > :48:55.Silva, De Bruyne. De Bruyne let's fly. Brilliant save. Tipped against
:48:56. > :48:58.the post by Stekelenburg. In the catalogue of saves that he's come
:48:59. > :49:03.out with today, each one's better than the previous one. It's the
:49:04. > :49:10.first time that Manchester City have failed to win at home since Pep
:49:11. > :49:13.Guardiola took charge. Goodness me, they've had the chances. Are you
:49:14. > :49:24.delighted with the point? Yes, of course. Very difficult against my
:49:25. > :49:29.management period, coaching period, the best team I've ever met. Great
:49:30. > :49:33.football and very difficult, but we showed unbelievable spirit today.
:49:34. > :49:39.The goalkeeper may have played his best of his life. We punished them
:49:40. > :49:45.with the first chance we get. Not many teams will get a point out of
:49:46. > :49:52.this stadium. We did absolutely everything. I'm sad, not sad. Sad
:49:53. > :49:58.for the players. Today they didn't deserve, but as well I want to say a
:49:59. > :50:04.compliment for Everton, for Ronald Koeman for the performance. That's
:50:05. > :50:08.why I just can say, well done. I mean, honest assessments from both
:50:09. > :50:12.managers. Manchester City played gorgeous football. Blimey, Everton
:50:13. > :50:19.were resilient, especially their keeper? Very good game of football.
:50:20. > :50:27.Attacking City side to a resilient Everton, at the back. Particularly
:50:28. > :50:33.their goalkeeper. Williams was their Achilles head last year was
:50:34. > :50:36.defending. Too many goals conceded. Williams added strength and steel to
:50:37. > :50:43.that back four. Right place, right time. An organiser, a leader. He
:50:44. > :50:48.pulls people around. Not scared to give team-mates a telling off if he
:50:49. > :50:52.needs to. As I said, he played his part today. I know Jagielka gave two
:50:53. > :50:57.penalties away. What about that for a clearance? Actually, this is where
:50:58. > :51:02.Everton's goal starts from. From that brilliant clearance. Give and
:51:03. > :51:07.go from Lukaku. City gambling, pushing too many people forward.
:51:08. > :51:11.Left one-on-one at the back, Lukaku and Clichy. Lukaku took it well.
:51:12. > :51:14.Shouting to him to get into the box. What a finish that is. The
:51:15. > :51:19.goalkeeper has no chance. Mentioned the back four. The goalkeeper had a
:51:20. > :51:25.brilliant game. One from De Bruyne. One from Aguero. I think this one
:51:26. > :51:28.here is the best one. Right hand, fingernails basically that is from
:51:29. > :51:32.Aguero, again that's going in the top corner there. He's played a huge
:51:33. > :51:36.part in getting the result today. If you thought that was... Next one is
:51:37. > :51:41.not bad From De Bruyne. Right hand the first one, left hand that one.
:51:42. > :51:45.It was a very, very resilient display from Everton. Manchester
:51:46. > :51:48.City three games now without a win in all competitions. Blimey they
:51:49. > :51:53.play some stuff, don't they? Sensational today. What it has
:51:54. > :51:56.proved in the last two games. Tottenham pressed them high with
:51:57. > :51:59.high-tempo and beat them. Today Everton sat back. Two different
:52:00. > :52:03.styles to play against them and get results. They will not have it easy.
:52:04. > :52:06.They are still the team to beat for me. I would say so.
:52:07. > :52:09.Victory over Manchester City last time out left Spurs as the only
:52:10. > :52:12.unbeaten team in the Premier League ahead of their trip to West Brom,
:52:13. > :52:15.who themselves had lost just once in the last five.
:52:16. > :52:25.Rondon may have returned back very late from duty but Tony Pulis
:52:26. > :52:29.included him. Citing the fact his family travelled over to see the
:52:30. > :52:35.game which may give the striker that little psychological booster. West
:52:36. > :52:41.Brom are unchanged. Spurs make two changes. Ben Davies and Janssen are
:52:42. > :52:45.brought in. No injury concerns at the heart of Mauricio Pochettino's
:52:46. > :52:49.decision-making. A recognition of a punishing few weeks ahead which
:52:50. > :52:52.includes two Champions League games and a League Cup meeting with
:52:53. > :52:54.Liverpool in addition to attempting to preserve the only unbeaten start
:52:55. > :53:14.to the Premier League campaign. COMMENTATOR: Lamela. Janssen.
:53:15. > :53:23.Clipped in towards Alli. Headed away by Evans. Good turn by Wanyama.
:53:24. > :53:28.Eriksen. Walker. Might think about hitting it, changes his mind. Picks
:53:29. > :53:34.out Lamela. Charged down, Alli, good save by Foster. There is a claim for
:53:35. > :53:41.handball amidst all of that. Referee waves play on. Rondon can't get to
:53:42. > :53:49.the ball. It's only a matter of time you fancy before Spurs do take the
:53:50. > :53:53.lead here. West Brom are defending manfully, but they are ramming on
:53:54. > :54:03.that West Bromwich Albion defensive door. Now the visiting supporters
:54:04. > :54:08.can sense an opening goal. And, Alli can't quite provide it. Looked as
:54:09. > :54:21.though he was possibly in an offside position o, the flag didn't go up.
:54:22. > :54:27.But it would have been 1-0 had Alli had inventively put it in.
:54:28. > :54:36.Pochettino trying to preserve the only unbeaten start in the Premier
:54:37. > :54:42.League. Wanyama. Good play from Davies. Excellent play. Good stop
:54:43. > :54:50.from Foster. A couple of really good saves from Ben Foster that have kept
:54:51. > :54:53.it at 0-0. Full of praise, Tony Pulis, for his opposite number ahead
:54:54. > :54:59.of the match today. Great respect for the excellent way in which he
:55:00. > :55:04.sets up his Spurs team. Indeed previously at Southampton. Nice
:55:05. > :55:10.ball, again, from Janssen. Here comes Dele Alli. Another excellent
:55:11. > :55:16.stop from Foster. Well, it is 0-0, yes, but there's one man that you
:55:17. > :55:23.can thank for that from a West Brom perspective. Well the West Bromwich
:55:24. > :55:26.Albion controlling stakeholder alongside the Chairman John
:55:27. > :55:38.Williams, assessing what he's bought here. Here's Janssen, again. Now
:55:39. > :55:45.Alli. Eriksen. Good save again from Foster. It's turning into the Ben
:55:46. > :55:49.Foster Show. Well there have been a number of Spurs players who believed
:55:50. > :55:57.that they have opened the scoring today, only to find Ben Foster in
:55:58. > :56:01.immaculate form. Phillips. Now, McClean.
:56:02. > :56:08.Oh, it's on target. Ronned Ron. Oh, he could have scored, maybe he
:56:09. > :56:15.should have done, it just got split by Lloris. -- Rondon. Rondon pounced
:56:16. > :56:24.on the loose one, but couldn't get it beyond the Spurs' skipper.
:56:25. > :56:27.Chadli. McClean. It's good. Deflection gives West Bromwich
:56:28. > :56:32.Albion their first corner of the match and at last an opportunity to
:56:33. > :56:38.try and breach Spurs from a set-piece. McAuley, Dawson,
:56:39. > :56:46.inevitably in there. Delivery is not bad. McAuley, well, it came to him
:56:47. > :56:49.and he, sort of, half heartedly flung his right boot at it. It was a
:56:50. > :57:01.better chance than I think he realised. Here's Yacob. Dawson.
:57:02. > :57:05.Chadli. Clearance as far as Rondon. Rondon, good ball. Brings in Brunt.
:57:06. > :57:09.Brunt's ball towards McClean, and out for a corner. All of a sudden,
:57:10. > :57:17.West Brom sense that they might be able to find a winning goal here. I
:57:18. > :57:20.think Tony Pulis would call this one of his finest triumphs as a manager
:57:21. > :57:31.if West Brom can steal a winner here. McClean. It's off the bar and
:57:32. > :57:37.then Chadli! Nacer Chadli, against his former club, he doesn't want to
:57:38. > :57:42.celebrate, but there's several thousand West Brom supporters that
:57:43. > :57:47.do. Well, they've been outstanding defence ill. They have their
:57:48. > :57:52.goalkeeper to thank, but as this game has worn on, they've looked the
:57:53. > :57:57.likelier to take the lead, West Brom. After McClean's shot came back
:57:58. > :58:03.off the post, the former Spurs employee smashes the ball into the
:58:04. > :58:10.back of the Spurs net and gives West Brom what could be a very, famous
:58:11. > :58:15.three points indeed. Well those saves that Ben Foster made in the
:58:16. > :58:24.first half have become more and more sharply into focus. Dier.
:58:25. > :58:36.Son. Still holds on. Shot from Eriksen is blocked and it's prodded
:58:37. > :58:44.in by Dele Alli. The and Spurs have an equaliser with two minutes left
:58:45. > :58:50.on the clock. Son was persistent down the left hand side. Eriksen's
:58:51. > :58:55.shot charged down and Alli prods it beyond Foster and into the corner of
:58:56. > :59:00.the net. He scored last season here at the Hawthorns in a 1-1 draw. Has
:59:01. > :59:08.history repeated itself? Don't give your point away. That's the message
:59:09. > :59:13.from Tony Pulis. Puff out your chests, Janssen, Alli, forwards. Son
:59:14. > :59:17.will give chase. Evans comes across. Foul by Evans, free-kick to Spurs.
:59:18. > :59:29.Yellow card for Evans. Eriksen's delivery and Foster's
:59:30. > :59:33.save. West Brom have merited a point. Nobody more than their
:59:34. > :59:38.goalkeeper, Ben Foster. Maybe, with that save from Eriksen, he's ensured
:59:39. > :59:42.that they get exactly that. First half I thought they were fantastic.
:59:43. > :59:47.We sat off them and, you know, they show what had they can do. They got
:59:48. > :59:52.goals everywhere. They have threat everywhere. They don't half work
:59:53. > :59:56.hard for their manager. Second-half we were better. Got up to the ball a
:59:57. > :59:59.little bit more. Yeah, when we scored, you know, you are thinking
:00:00. > :00:04.that, if we can just keep them out of the box as much as anything else,
:00:05. > :00:12.you could end up nicking a result. First half I think we dominated. We
:00:13. > :00:25.created a lot of chances to score and I think, my feeling is
:00:26. > :00:30.disappointed. In the same way I feel proud Of our players and their
:00:31. > :00:33.performance. Having not the best first half, the second-half they
:00:34. > :00:37.dusted themselves down. Like I say, we gave more of a show for our
:00:38. > :00:41.supporters. Everything seemed to be within reach. It was nice. It was
:00:42. > :00:44.good to go in at the break knowing I had weathered the storm almost. I
:00:45. > :00:48.thought we were probably the better team in the second-half. We were
:00:49. > :00:50.pushing for the goal as well. No, it was a decent game for the neutral as
:00:51. > :01:00.well. Another brilliant goalkeeping
:01:01. > :01:03.performance, this time from Ben Foster. Dele Alli just got in, a
:01:04. > :01:09.goal-scorer's knack of getting himself into position to score. I
:01:10. > :01:13.think this lad is a special player, we are down about our national team
:01:14. > :01:17.but today, he had four chances in the game. With Harry Kane not
:01:18. > :01:21.playing, he's having to be that Centre forward that creates the
:01:22. > :01:25.chances. He's such an intelligent player. He knows where the ball is
:01:26. > :01:36.going to bounce. Look at him in the box there, sniffing. He finds the
:01:37. > :01:39.space, should have scored. Ben Foster did really well. It was a one
:01:40. > :01:41.versus one battle between him and Ben Fester, they were both
:01:42. > :01:44.sensational. The thing about Dele Alli, this is unbelievable, you see
:01:45. > :01:47.it better from the angle we are going to show. As it comes into him
:01:48. > :01:51.here now, he'd tease himself up with a volley and then overhead kicks it
:01:52. > :01:55.with a bicycle and I thought his performance today, this surging run
:01:56. > :01:58.from midfield, third run in, the West Brom defender couldn't stay
:01:59. > :02:02.with him and I think it's in situations like this where I think
:02:03. > :02:06.he's still got more improvement. That's the next part of his
:02:07. > :02:10.development, Gary. I don't want to be too critical on him because I
:02:11. > :02:17.love the way he keeps getting into the positions and he's not scared to
:02:18. > :02:21.miss them. That's what he's got to improve on, he's got to work on his
:02:22. > :02:25.finishing, because if he does and it's a big if, I don't want to put
:02:26. > :02:29.too much pressure on him, because I do think a lot of him and I do think
:02:30. > :02:32.he'll improve but if he keeps getting into positions and works on
:02:33. > :02:36.his goal-scoring I do think in a few years' time we could be talking
:02:37. > :02:41.about him in the same breath as Frank Lampard. Fine praise. West
:02:42. > :02:49.Brom, grinding out results, very much like Heworth Place. They were a
:02:50. > :02:55.lot better second half, they got the run around in the first half. That's
:02:56. > :02:59.one defeat in six, the third 1-1 draw in a row, Nacer Chadli, four
:03:00. > :03:03.and five, he's made the difference. They are mid-table. Do you think
:03:04. > :03:07.Tottenham have let one out of the bag their question might no, I think
:03:08. > :03:10.Tottenham will be quite happy with the deal they got.
:03:11. > :03:13.Match of the Day 2 moves to Monday this week,
:03:14. > :03:33.Torres. That is stunning. A brilliant goal.
:03:34. > :03:36.There'll be full commentary on 5 Live and the BBC Sport website.
:03:37. > :03:39.Match of the Day 2 Extra is back on Sunday lunchtime,
:03:40. > :03:43.And, it's the FA Cup first round draw on Monday,
:03:44. > :04:01.# Wake-up Maggie, I've got something to say to you #.
:04:02. > :04:12.COMMENTATOR: Superb, Andy Cole, a wonderful goal.
:04:13. > :04:18.In fog Cole, Manchester United's title. 45 and Newcastle possibly
:04:19. > :04:25.finest striker in the Premier League times. The only two sides yet to win
:04:26. > :04:27.a game this season faced each other at the Bet365 stadium as Stoke
:04:28. > :04:31.entertained bottom of the table Sunderland.
:04:32. > :04:43.You know that feeling when you're car has been in the garage too long
:04:44. > :04:48.and needs John leads? Phil Bardsley comes in at right back for the
:04:49. > :04:53.injured Glen Johnson. Mark Hughes was worried about Joe Allen, but
:04:54. > :04:57.he's fit. More injury concerns for Sunderland. Three changes, Rodwell
:04:58. > :05:00.in midfield, Van Aanholt at left-back, and with injuries,
:05:01. > :05:21.Djilobodji plays alongside O Shea. Arnautovic is after it, in the
:05:22. > :05:29.sunshine. Boney is there, good tackle. -- Bony is there, good
:05:30. > :05:38.tackle. A 1-2 blade with the referee. Given away by Sunderland's
:05:39. > :05:42.N'Dong. The angle is too acute. Joe Allen hits Stoke in front in the
:05:43. > :05:50.eighth minute of the game. Patients from Arnautovic, decisive cross in
:05:51. > :05:57.and even little Joe Allen can meet that with his head. He scored in the
:05:58. > :06:00.last international break and puts Stoke in front against Sunderland
:06:01. > :06:04.and they are on the front foot already. Well, if Sunderland have
:06:05. > :06:10.any thoughts of staying largely on the defensive and at least holding
:06:11. > :06:21.out for a draw here today, that has to change their perspective.
:06:22. > :06:28.McNair, that's a great ball forward. Defoe holds back. Khazri looking for
:06:29. > :06:40.Defoe, what a challenge from Shawcross. They goal saving
:06:41. > :06:45.challenge. Khazri had the vision, watching my Defoe was going. Very
:06:46. > :06:50.close to 1-1, if it hadn't been for Shawcross. He doesn't look
:06:51. > :06:57.especially happy, Mark Hughes, but his side is performing well today.
:06:58. > :07:03.And they are in front. That's poor, Arnautovic scampers clear.
:07:04. > :07:14.Oh, goodness! That looks a very good pass from Bony. Good cross in. The
:07:15. > :07:25.Austrian couldn't quite get enough of a touch on it. Almost 2-0.
:07:26. > :07:52.Shaqiri forces Bony wide. Well played. Appeals for handball. Here's
:07:53. > :07:59.Whelan, Bony. The threat of a second Stoke goal. Shaqiri. N'Dong was
:08:00. > :08:10.careless. Here's another chance. Goodness
:08:11. > :08:17.gracious. What a great save by Pickford. Pieters was in twice. Here
:08:18. > :08:28.was the shout for handball. Goodness. Well, O Shea waved his
:08:29. > :08:32.left arm at it. There was a hand raised there. Two minutes have been
:08:33. > :08:50.added. In, 2-0 to Stoke, two goals by Joe
:08:51. > :08:55.Allen. He certainly wasn't bought as a goal-scorer, but he's proving as
:08:56. > :09:03.such. Thursday header from Shawcross, clear, Allen first time,
:09:04. > :09:11.brilliant. Having to get past a couple of bodies, doesn't matter,
:09:12. > :09:20.they are the ones... The shot was true. Movement, great pass, Pieters.
:09:21. > :09:35.Good save. Another good save. So close to 3-0. Here's the save
:09:36. > :09:43.from Pickford. Bony, good, good save, a strong left arm and there
:09:44. > :09:45.was the follow-up plot. Sunderland fans still giving great support to
:09:46. > :10:02.their team. Jones didn't quite take that
:10:03. > :10:12.properly but she threads it through to Watmore. This could be 2-1.
:10:13. > :10:38.Cameron to Pieters. A lovely return. Pieters gain. -- again. Too deep.
:10:39. > :10:51.A third goal for Stoke would be richly deserved. Oh, my word. How
:10:52. > :10:53.close was that to a third? He's beaten the goalkeeper, but not the
:10:54. > :11:02.crossbar. A great effort. We've got to act together, in
:11:03. > :11:07.fairness the last three games there's been a distinct change in
:11:08. > :11:11.our levels and what we've been able to produce, and today, clearly it
:11:12. > :11:15.was about the performance, but the result was the key thing from us. We
:11:16. > :11:20.need to improve all-round, we've known that, but I think there are
:11:21. > :11:23.small signs and it wouldn't be noticeable to people who do not
:11:24. > :11:26.watch is that often but when you are taking training every day and
:11:27. > :11:30.watching them train, we try to make them better, we are trying to make
:11:31. > :11:32.them better with a really experienced team today and that's no
:11:33. > :11:38.excuse, because you're only judged on your games but hopefully the boys
:11:39. > :11:42.who play will get better. Joe, how good are you going to be when you
:11:43. > :11:46.get properly fit? Things seem to be falling for me at the moment so I
:11:47. > :11:51.can't complain, it's great to get a couple more today and a win and a
:11:52. > :11:56.clean sheet, you can't ask for more. The first brace of his career, he's
:11:57. > :12:01.becoming a goal-scoring machine and he plays a vital part. He does, out
:12:02. > :12:06.of a slow start of the season, a poor start the season, he's probably
:12:07. > :12:10.been Stoke's best player. I've been surprised by that position he has
:12:11. > :12:13.been playing, you'd normally associate playing holding midfield
:12:14. > :12:16.but Mark Hughes has seen something working with him day in, day out, he
:12:17. > :12:31.anticipates things well in the box the last couple of games
:12:32. > :12:34.when he has scored the goals it's the anticipation of where the ball
:12:35. > :12:35.is going to end up that has got him into these goal-scoring positions.
:12:36. > :12:38.This is a fantastic technique. Scored one with his head, one with
:12:39. > :12:41.his left foot. As it comes to the edge of the box, look at the
:12:42. > :12:44.technique as he gets his left foot over the ball, through a ruck of
:12:45. > :12:46.players and this would have been the perfect hat-trick. This with the
:12:47. > :12:50.right foot was probably the easiest chance out of them all. He's playing
:12:51. > :12:57.fantastically well. He's not 100% fit, so Stoke, is a shrewd signing.
:12:58. > :13:02.The season started October, Stoke will challenge for Europe every
:13:03. > :13:05.season! Sunderland is seen to start badly consistently, they've done it
:13:06. > :13:10.again. They are really struggling. I get the feeling David Moyes didn't
:13:11. > :13:14.sign as many players as he wanted to sign. You can't keep flirting with
:13:15. > :13:17.relegation like they have, year in, year out, and expect to get away
:13:18. > :13:22.with it and not find the players that needed to be signed. They are
:13:23. > :13:25.in serious trouble. The great escape might be required.
:13:26. > :13:26.It's five games unbeaten for Crystal Palace.
:13:27. > :13:29.They hosted a West Ham side who've made their worst start
:13:30. > :13:34.Jonathan Pearce was at Selhurst Park.
:13:35. > :13:47.James Tomkins, who played two and 43 games in ten years meets his old
:13:48. > :13:50.side, with Benteke the main threat. Cresswell makes his first hammers
:13:51. > :13:58.appearance of the season. Land is easy and Simone Zaza are recalled.
:13:59. > :14:04.-- Lanzini. Nine of the last 15 sides at this stage have gone down.
:14:05. > :14:08.Slaven Bilic has been working through the international break with

:14:13. > :14:19.or two of the problems they've had this season. Cresswell on the
:14:20. > :14:25.attack. Find the side netting. Such an important boost for West Ham that
:14:26. > :14:29.Cresswell is back. If he maintains his form of the last two seasons he
:14:30. > :14:35.could be pushing for an England place before long. Benteke is about
:14:36. > :14:42.to complete his hat-trick against Gibraltar, a fine block by Noble.
:14:43. > :14:49.Here's penchant, Bex Outram Zaha, drags it, a big early chance for
:14:50. > :14:55.Crystal Palace. Hasn't scored enough goals in his career. Scored about
:14:56. > :15:00.one in every ten games for Crystal Palace. Crystal Palace haven't won
:15:01. > :15:04.in their last seven all capital clashes and that run has undermined
:15:05. > :15:11.the whole season last season. Whipped away cleanly to Cresswell.
:15:12. > :15:17.Payet back to the full-back. In a game, Palace have allowed him to
:15:18. > :15:22.turn. Not best practice that, into the near post, Lanzini. It's been
:15:23. > :15:28.coming. 18 minutes gone, Crystal Palace nil, West Ham one, West Ham
:15:29. > :15:32.deserve it. I move of patience and precision and in the end lovely
:15:33. > :15:36.finish. From the minute Crystal Palace allowed Payet to turn and
:15:37. > :15:40.country, they were in trouble. Too much space, find the full-back,
:15:41. > :15:45.lovely low first-time cross in, fizzing into the box and edged
:15:46. > :15:49.across the goalkeeper by Lanzini. Second of the season, scored home
:15:50. > :15:54.and away against Crystal Palace last season and he has another. That's
:15:55. > :15:58.the 100th goal West Ham United have scored under Slaven Bilic.
:15:59. > :16:04.Puncheon in support. Making the run. No free-kick given. The comes to
:16:05. > :16:13.Benteke. That's a penalty. The referee got the first one right I
:16:14. > :16:17.believe he got the second one right. Ogbonna unhappy. First one a coming
:16:18. > :16:23.together. It unsettled West Ham more than it did Crystal Palace. He
:16:24. > :16:27.catches Benteke. The referee had no doubts. Two of Benteke's last five
:16:28. > :16:34.penalties have been low to the right hand side. Oh, he's put that
:16:35. > :16:38.horribly wide. That is a retched penalty. Body shape all wrong.
:16:39. > :16:48.Slanting away from it. Opens up his body. Standing foot slips. Away it
:16:49. > :16:55.goes. Relief for West Ham United and that is it so frustrating for
:16:56. > :17:05.Crystal Palace. Townsend. Not in the game enough, Townsend. Here's Ward.
:17:06. > :17:09.McArthur in behind. A brilliant save or did it just go wide. The
:17:10. > :17:14.half-time whistles blows. Just off the outside of the post. I thought
:17:15. > :17:27.Adrian got a hand to it. One moment he is missing a penalty, the next
:17:28. > :17:31.denied by the woodwork. Zaza. He's exposed himself, left himself in
:17:32. > :17:39.no-man's land. Blocked from his old team-mate. Good goalkeeping. Lovely
:17:40. > :17:47.movement by West Ham again, Zaza. To Lanzini. He to stay there. It lacked
:17:48. > :17:53.finesse. Rain teaming down. Good for West Ham so far.
:17:54. > :18:04.Ogbonna. -- Obiang. Deflected the way through. West Ham have a corner.
:18:05. > :18:13.West Ham looking for their girs away success of the campaign. Payet will
:18:14. > :18:17.swing this away. Antonio. Dangerous in these situations. It's off the
:18:18. > :18:26.line by Puncheon. Antonio was the danger in there, again as he has
:18:27. > :18:34.been in so many set-pieces. Cabaye comes across. Goes down too easy for
:18:35. > :18:39.the referee. He gets a yellow. Cabaye was furious straightaway.
:18:40. > :18:48.This is it. There was contact, minimal contact much he goes down
:18:49. > :18:52.flamboyantly and gets the yellow. Zaha on the outside of Cresswell.
:18:53. > :18:58.He's on a yellow Cresswell. He has to watch things now. Zaha, I think
:18:59. > :19:03.he's going to go here. A second yellow carded followed by a red in a
:19:04. > :19:10.matter of moments. Booked for simulation. West Ham will argue that
:19:11. > :19:20.one, I think. He's holding on, holding on. That's a bookable,
:19:21. > :19:28.certainly. Really were the two instances enough for a red card
:19:29. > :19:31.overall. Cresswell sent off. Fourth Palace West Ham game in a row
:19:32. > :19:35.there's been a red card. He took a risk there. Got away with it,
:19:36. > :19:41.Townsend needs to get it back in early. In it goes. Great save!
:19:42. > :19:50.Brilliant goalkeeping to deny Connor Wickham. Got across his goal having
:19:51. > :19:55.punched it away. Spread eagle. Securing the three points for West
:19:56. > :19:58.Ham United. We opened really well. We created some really good chances
:19:59. > :20:03.when it was possible, we also kept the ball. We were very confident,
:20:04. > :20:07.especially after we scored the goal because we are not great in
:20:08. > :20:10.confidence because of results. They affected us, but when you score a
:20:11. > :20:14.goal nothing can give you more confidence than that, you know. I
:20:15. > :20:18.think we did a really good performance and we deserved to win.
:20:19. > :20:23.West Ham did OK in the first half they played well. But we are
:20:24. > :20:26.disappointed with ourselves. We know we let it slip here today. We should
:20:27. > :20:31.have at least got a draw. I think we should have won if we'd been at our
:20:32. > :20:35.game today. Cresswell, what a shame the way it ended for him, what was
:20:36. > :20:39.your view? I think he was harsh done by. The first one and the second
:20:40. > :20:44.one. The referee has given the decision. We are down to 10-men with
:20:45. > :20:49.15 minutes left. We had to dig in, we did. We got a fantastic result
:20:50. > :20:54.for us. Straight in with Aaron Cresswell. Harshly done,
:20:55. > :20:59.exceptionally harsh. Absurd decisions. It two terrible
:21:00. > :21:05.decisions. Cabaye on Cresswell. He books him for diving. Ridiculous. He
:21:06. > :21:09.clips him. I don't care if it's minimal contact. He clips him.
:21:10. > :21:14.Should be a penalty. No way it's a dive. 55 seconds later. One-on-one
:21:15. > :21:19.against Zaha. The linesman gives that one. The referee consults with
:21:20. > :21:25.him. I'm not sure it's a foul. I am, it's not a foul, let alone a yellow
:21:26. > :21:29.card. Two terrible decisions. OK. It was pretty obvious that West Ham had
:21:30. > :21:34.to improve defensively. They most certainly did? They have been taken
:21:35. > :21:37.criticism defensively over the last few weeks, rightly so. He changed
:21:38. > :21:48.the system today, three at the back. They were much more organised,
:21:49. > :21:52.Noble, Reid, they were prepared to work at it and stick together. Going
:21:53. > :21:57.forward. Big plus having Cresswell back. He added that to the game.
:21:58. > :22:01.Beautiful ball in. Worth their win today. Crystal Palace will rue the
:22:02. > :22:08.penalty miss. They were better in the second-half? Better in the sect
:22:09. > :22:11.hand. Bad defeat for them. Benteke penalty miss affected their
:22:12. > :22:15.confidence. They didn't like that we thought they would. We have one more
:22:16. > :22:19.goal to show you. It's been scored by a certain Alan Shearer. Last game
:22:20. > :22:23.ever, apparently! What do you think, Phillip? Fantastic movement at the
:22:24. > :22:26.far-post. Trademark celebration. It's the movement at the far-post
:22:27. > :22:29.that impressed me. Typical Alan Shearer. Pulling on to the
:22:30. > :22:35.full-back. I've been there at the back post with him. What a finish
:22:36. > :22:40.that is! Never lose it, Gary. There he goes. Raised loads of money. I'm
:22:41. > :22:46.still in bits. My body is killing me. I thought you you were moving
:22:47. > :22:51.stiffly. Thank you very much, indeed.
