COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant! | :00:14. | :00:21. | |
COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal! | :00:22. | :00:33. | |
COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that! | :00:34. | :00:38. | |
We're down to the final four in the FA Cup and the last eight | :00:39. | :00:44. | |
in the Champions League, but there are 20 Premier League | :00:45. | :00:47. | |
clubs who've got plenty to play for between now and May. | :00:48. | :00:49. | |
And we've reunited Alan Shearer and Graeme Le Saux. | :00:50. | :00:53. | |
It's now 22 years since they won the title with Blackburn! | :00:54. | :00:59. | |
We begin at the Hawthorns and, with the race for Champions League | :01:00. | :01:02. | |
places intensifying, Arsenal travelled to | :01:03. | :01:03. | |
The home side, managed by Tony Pulis, seemed sure | :01:04. | :01:07. | |
Even victory here will not be a enough to lift Arsenal back into the | :01:08. | :01:27. | |
top four. But Arsene Wenger has seen his team lose three of the last four | :01:28. | :01:32. | |
Premier League games. For once Champions League qualification is no | :01:33. | :01:35. | |
guarantee. West Brom have lost their way since reaching the safety of 40 | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
points. Tony Pulis has urged his side to not let the season Peter | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
out. Chris Brunt and Salomon Rondon recalled today. Yacob and | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
Robson-Kanu drop to the bench. Tony Pulis operating with a five-man | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
midfield. Our store with two changes from the side that beat Lincoln in | :01:54. | :02:03. | |
the FA Cup. Monreal replacing Kieran Gibbs at left-back, Danny Welbeck | :02:04. | :02:05. | |
coming in for Giroud, and will play through the centre with top scorer | :02:06. | :02:07. | |
Alexis Sanchez on the left. Mesut Ozil is ruled out through injury. | :02:08. | :02:12. | |
Arsenal's away record this season is nothing to write home about, just | :02:13. | :02:16. | |
six wins on their travels. Recently on the road they have been awful, | :02:17. | :02:18. | |
losing four of their last six. The Cameroon defender Allan Nyom | :02:19. | :02:31. | |
stepping forward. On he goes. What a run. Rondon was waiting for the | :02:32. | :02:36. | |
cross. Fantastic run from Allan Nyom. Taking on all comers and | :02:37. | :02:41. | |
beating them all. Having done so much graphed, so much hard work, all | :02:42. | :02:46. | |
that was lacking was the past to pick out Rondon, who would have had | :02:47. | :02:49. | |
a tap in. Early warning for Arsenal. Livermore has made a good run | :02:50. | :03:02. | |
through the centre. Its McClean with little more still there if he needs. | :03:03. | :03:07. | |
McClean goes himself. Straight at Petr Cech. Good counterattack from | :03:08. | :03:13. | |
West Brom. Chris Brunt fed it into the path of James McClean who tried | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
to beat Cech by power. First corner of the game. Bright start, 12 | :03:20. | :03:25. | |
minutes gone. Chadli with it. Headed in. It's Craig Dawson whose scores. | :03:26. | :03:33. | |
West Bromwich Albion, who have this reputation of being so dangerous | :03:34. | :03:36. | |
from set pieces, have scored another one. Dawson was completely unmarked | :03:37. | :03:44. | |
as he ran to attack that. Not sure whether Ramsey should have kept an | :03:45. | :03:48. | |
eye on him. Outjumped Koscielny, and from that close in, he wasn't going | :03:49. | :03:53. | |
to miss. The pressure is beginning to mount again on Arsene Wenger. | :03:54. | :04:14. | |
Sanchez is completely unmarked. What a chance. Took his time and finds | :04:15. | :04:21. | |
the net. Superb response from Arsenal. What a cool, cool finish | :04:22. | :04:30. | |
from the Chilean. His 22nd of the season, Albion caught napping. | :04:31. | :04:32. | |
Sanchez couldn't believe the amount of time he had. Time to get his feet | :04:33. | :04:38. | |
right and left it high into the roof of the net with Ben Foster | :04:39. | :04:43. | |
committed. A brilliant finish from Sanchez. Just what he needed. | :04:44. | :04:48. | |
And its level up in the skies as well. One banner once Arsene Wenger | :04:49. | :04:56. | |
to go and the other one wants him to stay. | :04:57. | :05:00. | |
Sanchez is on his way again, picking out a Ramsey in the box. Ramsey's | :05:01. | :05:10. | |
shot. Great save from Foster. Can Walcott help it home? Great block | :05:11. | :05:14. | |
from Allan Nyom who eventually clears his lines. A lovely turn and | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
spinner from Ramsey. And Allan Nyom kept out of Walcott. | :05:20. | :05:27. | |
McClean eager to chase. Petr Cech is not moving well, has thrown the ball | :05:28. | :05:38. | |
out of play. Hobbling awkwardly as he cleared that. Embrace for David | :05:39. | :05:46. | |
Ospina, handshake for his manager. Off to the treatment room he goes. | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
Rondon chasing, Monreal is back with him. The Spaniard was determined for | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Arsenal. Monreal does well to hold up the | :05:57. | :06:07. | |
attacker. Chris Brunt crosses. Rondon got in big and above | :06:08. | :06:14. | |
Koscielny, but couldn't steer it on goal. Hal Robson-Kanu, the Welsh | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
international, to come on. And number nine, Salomon Rondon. Tony | :06:19. | :06:30. | |
Pulis making a big decision. Horrible misjudgement from Mustafi. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Hal Robson-Kanu is in behind. Fletcher getting forward. Chris | :06:36. | :06:40. | |
Brunt behind McClean at the moment. Chadli calls for it on the edge. | :06:41. | :06:45. | |
Here is the Belgian. It is clipped by David Ospina. And it's in! | :06:46. | :06:50. | |
Stabbed home by Hal Robson-Kanu less than two minutes after coming off | :06:51. | :06:54. | |
the bench. Monreal leads the Arsenal protest. They feel as though there | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
was an Albion player offside in the midst of all that. Neil Swarbrick | :07:00. | :07:03. | |
now deep in conversation with his assistant on the far side. I think | :07:04. | :07:10. | |
they have called that right. I think the Albion player who was offside | :07:11. | :07:15. | |
was not interfering with play, because all the Arsenal players were | :07:16. | :07:19. | |
in front of him, and he did not touch the ball. Although he's | :07:20. | :07:23. | |
offside when the ball is prodded home, he's not interfering with | :07:24. | :07:27. | |
play. Horrendous descending from Arsenal. They can protest all they | :07:28. | :07:33. | |
like, but they are behind again. -- horrendous defending. All thanks to | :07:34. | :07:39. | |
Hal Robson-Kanu. Arsenal began the day five points outside the top | :07:40. | :07:46. | |
four. Well defended by Allan Nyom who chases his own clearance. Good | :07:47. | :07:59. | |
battling from Walcott. His tenacity has brought opportunity may be for | :08:00. | :08:01. | |
Arsenal as they win a corner. It hits the bar! Albion get it | :08:02. | :08:14. | |
clear. Danny Welbeck against the crossbar. After that, Mustafi went | :08:15. | :08:19. | |
down having been caught by Robson-Kanu. | :08:20. | :08:30. | |
Good interception by Evans. Chris Brunt looks for Robson-Kanu, who is | :08:31. | :08:37. | |
goal side of Mustafi. David Ospina is all over the place initially | :08:38. | :08:44. | |
again. Good block. In goes Chadli! Blocked on the line by Mustafi. The | :08:45. | :08:50. | |
danger still isn't over. Chris Brunt takes it on and lifts it over. | :08:51. | :08:57. | |
Mustafi got hopelessly caught out. Ospina came, went home, then made a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
good block and almost brings down Chadli. His shot was superbly | :09:02. | :09:06. | |
blocked by Mustafi. Arsenal living on their nerves. Just about get away | :09:07. | :09:08. | |
with it. West Brom on the move again. So easy | :09:09. | :09:21. | |
as they pick their way forward. It's behind for the corner. West Brom's | :09:22. | :09:29. | |
first goal came from a corner. The goal-scorer, Dawson, in the mix | :09:30. | :09:34. | |
again. A wicked delivery, and it's in! It's a second for Craig Dawson! | :09:35. | :09:40. | |
If you don't learn your lesson is, you have no right to finish in the | :09:41. | :09:45. | |
top four of the Premier League. Terrific delivery, but who on earth | :09:46. | :09:51. | |
in yellow is keeping an eye on Craig Dawson? Oxlade-Chamberlain saw him | :09:52. | :09:54. | |
come and let him go. And that's the outcome. Defensively, that's | :09:55. | :10:00. | |
shocking. What a master plan Tony Pulis has put together today. Nine | :10:01. | :10:08. | |
major trophies in his 21 years at the helm at Arsenal Football Club, | :10:09. | :10:10. | |
but is his time up in 2017? A typical Premier League game | :10:11. | :10:18. | |
between a team who tries to play and a who defends well. They were | :10:19. | :10:24. | |
focused, determined, produced a top-level performance physically. | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
And they caught us on the set pieces and had one break. That made the | :10:31. | :10:34. | |
difference. If you look at what the players have achieved with what we | :10:35. | :10:38. | |
have got, that's absolutely fantastic. You will always have runs | :10:39. | :10:41. | |
of games where you don't pick up points. We are no different to | :10:42. | :10:45. | |
anyone else outside the top six. The lads have worked so hard in all the | :10:46. | :10:49. | |
games, never giving anything but their best. It's about time Dawson | :10:50. | :10:54. | |
scored some goals! It's important to chip in when we can. The delivery | :10:55. | :11:00. | |
was great into the box and it's a strength of hours. Great performance | :11:01. | :11:02. | |
and important to bounceback and we all put in a great shift. Massive | :11:03. | :11:07. | |
three points for us. It leads is in a unique situation that we haven't | :11:08. | :11:13. | |
had before. It means as well that we face a big problem, to regroup and | :11:14. | :11:18. | |
find resources to sort out to deal with the problem. That will demand | :11:19. | :11:26. | |
some togetherness and some serious challenges, because we play against | :11:27. | :11:30. | |
City at home in the next after the break. That could be another big | :11:31. | :11:36. | |
game for us. STUDIO: Marvellous win for West Brom but Arsenal were out | :11:37. | :11:40. | |
thought and outfought. Before we get onto Arsenal, West Brom bullied | :11:41. | :11:46. | |
Arsenal all over the park. They were much, much better in every position | :11:47. | :11:52. | |
and deserve a lot of credit for doing that. Onto Arsenal. There has | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
been a lot of chat from the media and pundits about Arsene Wenger's | :11:57. | :12:00. | |
future. Not a lot spoken by his players. His players spoke today in | :12:01. | :12:05. | |
that game. Judging by that performance and recent performances, | :12:06. | :12:09. | |
they don't want him in that job. Arsene Wenger will have looked at | :12:10. | :12:13. | |
his players today and asked for a reaction. Said, come on, guys. I've | :12:14. | :12:17. | |
been criticised Tomer Hemed from pillar to post. Give me something | :12:18. | :12:27. | |
today. -- criticised, hammered. They were embarrassing apart from | :12:28. | :12:32. | |
Sanchez, I thought. West Brom were brilliant, set up to counterattack | :12:33. | :12:36. | |
asked all time after time. Arsenal were so open it's unbelievable. | :12:37. | :12:39. | |
Bellerin is meant to be one of the quickest players in the league, but | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
he mustn't let McClean run that way with so much space. A ball in, ball | :12:45. | :12:48. | |
back and through. Into the back four with ease. Decent save from Petr | :12:49. | :12:55. | |
Cech. They try a crossfield ball and is look at how open Arsenal are. The | :12:56. | :13:02. | |
lack of support in front of defenders. When you lose the ball | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
you have to do see danger signs, smell the danger to get the ball | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
away. There is nothing there. One pass down the line and all of a | :13:11. | :13:14. | |
sudden West Brom are in the 18-yard box having a pop at goal. A long | :13:15. | :13:21. | |
ball up and they win the first ball. The players switch off, | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain, Koscielny, Monreal. Fletcher in so much space. | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
And it's a brilliant save from Petr Cech. Second half, same thing | :13:30. | :13:34. | |
happens time and time again. This is on the edge of the West Brom box. | :13:35. | :13:40. | |
One pass, take a touch, pick your head up, and the ball in behind. | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
It's so simple, it's embarrassing. One against one with the goalkeeper. | :13:46. | :13:49. | |
I could have shown another three or four times that happened. It was | :13:50. | :13:54. | |
incredible. By contrast, West Brom were compact, organised disciplined | :13:55. | :13:58. | |
and effective. They know their identity and set up a deeper blocked | :13:59. | :14:03. | |
to counter Arsenal. But all the hard work is done on the training ground. | :14:04. | :14:08. | |
It's set up between this back four and a bank of five in front of them. | :14:09. | :14:13. | |
You have Livermore and Chris Brunt working together. Livermore pointing | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
to Rondon to drop in. As soon as he loses it he drops back in. He knows | :14:18. | :14:21. | |
his role and the space he has to fill. This frustrated Arsenal, who | :14:22. | :14:26. | |
played into their hands and didn't show creativity. They tried to get | :14:27. | :14:30. | |
wide but you can see the banks working across the pitch. It kept | :14:31. | :14:35. | |
going. Fletcher was really in control of that midfield. He's | :14:36. | :14:39. | |
pointing around, has a word with Dawson. Doesn't forget his own | :14:40. | :14:43. | |
responsibility. He is leading the team. When the ball goes to an area | :14:44. | :14:52. | |
where he needs to close down, off he goes and Livermore provides cover. | :14:53. | :14:54. | |
Sanchez tries some tricks to get down the side but can't get in | :14:55. | :14:57. | |
there. He rushes his pass and West Brom get the ball back. You had this | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
pattern. It's hard work. You have to do understand what the plan is and | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
work as a team. The commitment, communication and effort, and then | :15:06. | :15:09. | |
you get the reward. West Brom enjoyed this part of the game. It | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
sets them up nicely. Arsenal are a broken team by the end. They can't | :15:15. | :15:15. | |
complete several passes. West Brom set-pieces and Arsenal | :15:16. | :15:24. | |
couldn't cope? They couldn't at all. Tony Pulis did his homework. They | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
like zonal marking. This is like watching an under-10s game the way | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
Arsenal defend here. No leadership, no characters. Dawson, free run in. | :15:33. | :15:39. | |
Once he has a run on thes Arsenal defenders. . I don't know what | :15:40. | :15:43. | |
Ramsey is doing whether he he is blocking them. Six or seven Arsenal | :15:44. | :15:48. | |
players. 6 foot plus, four go for the same ball. He gets a run, it's | :15:49. | :15:58. | |
embarrassing. No way to defend like that and expect to win a football | :15:59. | :16:01. | |
match. The third goal, from the other side of the pitch. Seven | :16:02. | :16:04. | |
Arsenal players defending. You have a situation where you have players | :16:05. | :16:08. | |
meant to be man marking, they are not. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and | :16:09. | :16:11. | |
Ramsey there. Other players in the penalty area that are meant to be | :16:12. | :16:14. | |
zonal marking. Which means you stay in your space. Bellerin outside the | :16:15. | :16:19. | |
post. You should be inside covering the goal. You are doing nothing | :16:20. | :16:23. | |
outside the post. You see five, six Arsenal players getting drawn out of | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
their zones, sucked into an area. By the end of it, any one of three West | :16:28. | :16:30. | |
Brom players could have scored that goal. It's so basic. Have you to | :16:31. | :16:35. | |
work. They are scoring that many goals, 14 Premier League goals from | :16:36. | :16:39. | |
corners, West Brom, more than any other team in a long shot. Hardly | :16:40. | :16:41. | |
surprising it's come. Well, at his post-match press | :16:42. | :16:44. | |
conference, Arsene Wenger was asked If you are to announce a decision on | :16:45. | :16:53. | |
your future will that change the attitude of the fans who are | :16:54. | :16:57. | |
protesting flying planes in the sky? Don't worry. I know what I will do | :16:58. | :17:03. | |
in my future. You will soon know. I see. Very soon. He divides opinion | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
amongst Arsenal fans. Even their aeroplanes can't agree, can they? Is | :17:12. | :17:16. | |
from that,, do you read anything, does that suggest he is going to go? | :17:17. | :17:20. | |
I read he is going to go. He looks a broken man, he does. If he's got his | :17:21. | :17:26. | |
contract there, and he is saying, I know my future and he hasn't signed | :17:27. | :17:30. | |
that contract, that suggests to me he's going. I agree. OK. Fair | :17:31. | :17:31. | |
enough. Next, Stoke City against Chelsea, | :17:32. | :17:35. | |
who were beginning to look Could anything stop Antonio Conte's | :17:36. | :17:37. | |
team, as they started the day 10 points clear at the top | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
of the table. COMMENTATOR: Arnason returns having | :17:42. | :17:55. | |
missed the draw at Manchester City through illness. Diouf drops the | :17:56. | :18:03. | |
bench. Antonio Conte prior to this has made 14 changes all service. He | :18:04. | :18:07. | |
can't called call on Hazard because of injury. There is a recall for | :18:08. | :18:12. | |
Pedro with eight goals in his last 12 games. A blustery afternoon. A | :18:13. | :18:18. | |
draw against Manchester City last time out the only point that Stoke | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
have managed against any of the top five so far this season. That's | :18:23. | :18:29. | |
terrific from Costa. There is space for Alonso to attack. Pedro and | :18:30. | :18:39. | |
Willian in the penalty area. Foul by Arnautovic. A Chelsea free-kick. | :18:40. | :18:46. | |
Set play opportunity for the league leaders. Willian's delivery. Tried | :18:47. | :18:55. | |
to catch out Lee Grant at his near-post, and succeeding. Quick | :18:56. | :19:02. | |
thinking from Willian. Disappointing from Lee Grant. The league leaders | :19:03. | :19:05. | |
are in front. Knew what he was doing. He saw the gap and Lee Grant | :19:06. | :19:09. | |
will be disappointed with that. At his near-post. Got across, got both | :19:10. | :19:14. | |
hands to it, but couldn't keep it out. Willian scored twice against | :19:15. | :19:19. | |
Stoke on New Year's Eve. He hadn't scored since then, he has now. His | :19:20. | :19:25. | |
team are in front again. 13 minutes gone, Stoke 0, Chelsea 1. Willian's | :19:26. | :19:29. | |
touch. Costa. Tried to get the free-kick there and | :19:30. | :19:41. | |
he's furious he didn't. He's been booked for dissent. He is bubbling | :19:42. | :19:47. | |
at the moment, Diego Costa. He now has to be careful for the remaining | :19:48. | :19:56. | |
74 minutes. He felt there was a foul there by Martins Indi. There wasn't. | :19:57. | :20:04. | |
Oh, dear. Then his reaction earned him the yellow card. Costa. Matic. | :20:05. | :20:17. | |
Bardsley's challenge wasn't timed. It's a free-kick to Chelsea. Was | :20:18. | :20:22. | |
always committed here, Bardsley. Willian this time to Pedro. Moses. | :20:23. | :20:37. | |
Is Alonso, onside, straight at Lee Grant, who managed to keep it out. | :20:38. | :20:49. | |
Well-worked from Chelsea. Alonso's run, unmarked, onside, on his weaker | :20:50. | :20:56. | |
foot. He's scored in three of his last six Premier League games. | :20:57. | :21:00. | |
Plenty for Mark Hughes' thoughts now. Arnautovic. Walters did well. | :21:01. | :21:09. | |
Alonso penalised, Stoke free-kick. To Arnautovic, good cross. Kante in | :21:10. | :21:22. | |
the way. Stoke's first corner of the game. Quick thinking from Phil | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
Bardsley. Good movement from Arnautovic and first time cross. An | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
excellent reading of the situation from N'Golo Kante. Allen to deliver | :21:32. | :21:39. | |
the corner. Until comes Martins Indi, but he's offside. He doesn't | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
know yet, but it won't count. He's celebrating. Anthony Taylor is | :21:44. | :21:50. | |
coming over to the referee's assistant, just wants to clarify the | :21:51. | :21:56. | |
situation. It's a push. The goal has been ruled out. | :21:57. | :22:02. | |
He saw the foul. There is a push there on Azpilicueta by Saido | :22:03. | :22:12. | |
Berahino that the referee's assistant saw and that is why that | :22:13. | :22:16. | |
Stoke goal doesn't count. Pieters. That's gone Stoke's way. Can Stoke | :22:17. | :22:36. | |
ask Chelsea a question here? Lifted in by Pieters. Courtois, a penalty. | :22:37. | :22:44. | |
The foul on Jonathan Walters by Gary Cahill. Stoke have a penalty. I | :22:45. | :22:47. | |
didn't think there was too much in that. Gary Cahill, a little nudge on | :22:48. | :22:56. | |
Walters. Walters himself will have the opportunity to level it up. Here | :22:57. | :23:00. | |
he comes. Emphatic penalty. Stoke City are back on terms. No | :23:01. | :23:16. | |
clean sheet for Chelsea and Contety. Cahill penalised for the foul on | :23:17. | :23:24. | |
Walters. Who duly despatched the spot-kick, high above Courtois. It's | :23:25. | :23:33. | |
Stoke 1, Chelsea 1. Alonso's throw. That looked a bag one on Diego Costa | :23:34. | :23:39. | |
this time. Antonio Conte leaping in the air to show his disgust at this | :23:40. | :23:49. | |
one. It was Bardsley, actually. Phil Bardsley has gone in the referee's | :23:50. | :23:56. | |
book. Costa is still down. Welcome to Stoke, Antonio. Kante. Now | :23:57. | :24:09. | |
Willian on the burst, Costa and Martins Indi going down off the | :24:10. | :24:13. | |
ball. Then Pieters taking down Pedro. That will earn him a yellow | :24:14. | :24:20. | |
card and a Chelsea free-kick. Bruno Martins Indi also shown the yellow | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
card there. Willian, Alonso and Luiz behind the Chelsea free-kick. It's | :24:26. | :24:31. | |
to be Alonso. Well, Lee Grant was beaten. Chelsea a whisker away from | :24:32. | :24:38. | |
regaining the lead. Oh and Diouf reacting to Alonso's challenge. | :24:39. | :24:46. | |
Anti-tailor in to defuse that situation. Terrific strike from | :24:47. | :24:53. | |
Alonso. Goalkeeper beaten all end up. Back off the crossbar. Fabregas. | :24:54. | :25:07. | |
Willian. Here is Pedro. Well kept out by Lee Grant. That was like | :25:08. | :25:12. | |
flicking a switch for Chelsea. Well stopped by Grant. Stoke have dug | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
deep, but they haven't seen it out yet. Pieters. He was under pressure | :25:18. | :25:27. | |
from Loftus-Cheek. That's what forced the error. It's a Chelsea | :25:28. | :25:36. | |
corner. Fabregas with it. David Luiz with the header. It came back to | :25:37. | :25:41. | |
Cahill. The man who gave away the penalty at that end in the first | :25:42. | :25:46. | |
half has restored Chelsea's lead in the second-half with less than four | :25:47. | :25:49. | |
minutes to go. He scores against Stoke for the second time this | :25:50. | :25:55. | |
season and they are back in front. Well, David Luiz's header was a tame | :25:56. | :25:59. | |
one. It was the intervention from Pieters that caused it. Stuck his | :26:00. | :26:04. | |
leg out and it came straight back to Cahill, who couldn't miss. Stoke | :26:05. | :26:10. | |
frustrated. Chelsea absolutely delighted. Look what it means on the | :26:11. | :26:15. | |
Chelsea bench. They have done what potential champions do. Azpilicueta | :26:16. | :26:24. | |
to pick out Pedro. Costa wants it. Costa's got it. Costa has hit the | :26:25. | :26:30. | |
woodwork. We've seen the good, bad and ugly of Diego Costa today. That | :26:31. | :26:38. | |
was another bit of very good. Azpilicueta. Loftus-Cheek. | :26:39. | :26:44. | |
Determined to have a go. Shawcross with the block. Chelsea with the | :26:45. | :26:59. | |
corner. The last-minute of stoppage-time. Ryan Shawcross just | :27:00. | :27:06. | |
needs to maintain his control here. He's been given a yellow card for | :27:07. | :27:12. | |
time wasting now, that's for Fabregas. Paperwork for Anthony | :27:13. | :27:16. | |
Taylor tomorrow. Here's Loftus-Cheek. A foul on Fabregas. | :27:17. | :27:22. | |
Phil Bardsley is one of those already on a yellow card. Stoke's | :27:23. | :27:28. | |
misery is compounded with a red for Phil Bardsley in the last-minute of | :27:29. | :27:33. | |
stoppage-time. Fabregas had beaten Joe Allen. Bardsley came across. | :27:34. | :27:41. | |
Nowhere near the ball. It's important to find a direct way to | :27:42. | :27:45. | |
win be because if you come here, against Stoke, and you think that | :27:46. | :27:51. | |
you will win without fight, for sure you lose. But we were prepared for | :27:52. | :27:58. | |
this type of game and I think we showed this. We ran them really | :27:59. | :28:02. | |
close today and we asked questions of them. In fairness, | :28:03. | :28:08. | |
champions-elect and players that have won championships they know how | :28:09. | :28:12. | |
to handle those moments. Cred credit to them. I didn't think they | :28:13. | :28:16. | |
deserved to win today, to be perfectly honest. I thought a draw | :28:17. | :28:22. | |
would be a fair result. Champion teams keep going and make things | :28:23. | :28:25. | |
happen for themselves. That is what they have been able to do all | :28:26. | :28:31. | |
season, in fairness. We need to take 21-points to win the league. Yeah, | :28:32. | :28:36. | |
we must think this, me and my players, because there are ten games | :28:37. | :28:42. | |
to go. But this season isn't finished. No, not quite. Chelsea's | :28:43. | :28:48. | |
march towards that title shows no site of abating? Nearly there. | :28:49. | :28:55. | |
It was a scrappy game, no Eden Hazard, but they showed great | :28:56. | :29:01. | |
experience, how to see a game out. They showed a great will to win and | :29:02. | :29:06. | |
a will to be champions. They dug it out in the end. It was Gary Cahill | :29:07. | :29:11. | |
who was in the right place at the right time. The last few minutes. | :29:12. | :29:15. | |
David Luiz does well to keep the ball alive. Poor mistake from | :29:16. | :29:20. | |
Pieters. He gets a few goals. He does. It was such a big win today, | :29:21. | :29:25. | |
so important, and even the players will think how huge it was. The | :29:26. | :29:30. | |
manager, great reaction from all of them, the way they celebrated at the | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
end, was pretty telling. Very close, Chelsea 's comfortable and confident | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
in Antonio Conte's Systems. They work on it every day in training. | :29:40. | :29:46. | |
That system, the 343. They don't mind the physical side of the game. | :29:47. | :29:52. | |
We saw that with Costa. They can drop into a five when they need to, | :29:53. | :29:55. | |
under pressure they can bring the wingbacks in. But when they go | :29:56. | :30:00. | |
forward, when the game is scrappy they have natural width with Alonso | :30:01. | :30:04. | |
and Moses out why. And they are clinical. When they get a chance | :30:05. | :30:08. | |
they take it or hit the target. 22 games, won 19, only lost one. And no | :30:09. | :30:16. | |
Hazard today. A couple of contentious decisions in the first | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
half. Anthony Taylor gets this one right. It's a foul from Berahino on | :30:21. | :30:27. | |
Azpilicueta. He shoves him there, goes to check with his assistant to | :30:28. | :30:31. | |
make sure it's right and it's the correct decision. But it's a clear | :30:32. | :30:36. | |
push from Berahino to stop him going to head the ball. A few minutes | :30:37. | :30:42. | |
later, I think that's on his mind. He wasn't 100% sure it's correct. He | :30:43. | :30:47. | |
gives a penalty for that. There has never been a push there. It clips | :30:48. | :30:54. | |
his heel a little bit, but they're -- there's no way it's a penalty. | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
Walters comedy goes down, but he's not claiming he has been pushed. -- | :31:00. | :31:01. | |
Walters, he goes down. Two down, five matches | :31:02. | :31:05. | |
still to come. Leicester City's heroics in beating | :31:06. | :31:27. | |
Sevilla left them as England's only representative in the quarter-finals | :31:28. | :31:30. | |
of the Champions League. But this weekend was all | :31:31. | :31:36. | |
about the battle to stay They faced West Ham | :31:37. | :31:40. | |
at the London Stadium, COMMENTATOR: Seeking one more for 50 | :31:41. | :31:50. | |
Premier League goals, Andy Carroll hasn't scored here at the London | :31:51. | :31:53. | |
Stadium since is a wonder goal against Crystal Palace more than two | :31:54. | :31:57. | |
months ago. That was also the last time the Hammers won here. Sam Byram | :31:58. | :32:02. | |
replaces the injured Mark Noble. Kouyate moves to midfield and Andre | :32:03. | :32:07. | |
Ayew is preferred to Feghouli. Injury to skipper Wes Morgan | :32:08. | :32:34. | |
Albrighton tried to find Drinkwater, who won it. Tries to find Vardy. | :32:35. | :32:42. | |
Good from Leicester. A noticeable spring in their step! Did Vardy get | :32:43. | :32:47. | |
a touch on that or is it Mahrez's goal? I think it might be the | :32:48. | :32:53. | |
latter. 1-0 to Leicester and that's the most important stat of the lot. | :32:54. | :32:57. | |
We are only in the fifth minute. The cross came in with whip and paste | :32:58. | :33:01. | |
from Mahrez. It goes straight into the back of the net, I think. Vardy | :33:02. | :33:07. | |
tried to dart across it. Riyad Mahrez with his ninth of the season, | :33:08. | :33:12. | |
fifth in the Premier League. The Shakespeare era is off to another | :33:13. | :33:16. | |
bonus start. He will know there was an element of good fortune about the | :33:17. | :33:20. | |
goal, but his side are behind again here. It has not been home sweet | :33:21. | :33:28. | |
home at all for West Ham at the new stadium. Winston Reid concedes a | :33:29. | :33:32. | |
free kick, which Roger East is adamant was a foul on Okazaki. | :33:33. | :33:40. | |
Leicester haven't lost any of the last five meetings against West Ham. | :33:41. | :33:44. | |
Certainly started positively here and it's 2-0! Robert Huth | :33:45. | :33:52. | |
unremarked, the flag stays down. Leicester, within seven minutes, R | :33:53. | :33:56. | |
two clear already. This is a bit of Comedy of Errors from a West Ham | :33:57. | :34:03. | |
perspective. Robert Huth in acres of space. Robert Huth couldn't mess, | :34:04. | :34:12. | |
and Robert Huth didn't miss. West Ham are absolutely gobsmacked. | :34:13. | :34:18. | |
Leicester City are on their way to four wins out of four under the new | :34:19. | :34:20. | |
manager. Antonio fouled. Drinkwater is | :34:21. | :34:29. | |
penalised because of this challenge on the back of Antonio. Not too much | :34:30. | :34:33. | |
doubt about it. This is their first sight of the | :34:34. | :34:42. | |
West Ham goal, really. And they have scored from it! They have built the | :34:43. | :34:47. | |
platform necessary to get them back in the game courtesy of Lanzini. We | :34:48. | :34:53. | |
have a game on here. A delightful free kick from Lanzini. Nothing | :34:54. | :34:58. | |
Schmeichel could do about it. That side of his net was guarded by the | :34:59. | :35:06. | |
wall but Lanzini has got an absolutely -- that absolutely | :35:07. | :35:06. | |
perfectly. Good play from Leicester. West Ham | :35:07. | :35:17. | |
happy to clear for the corner. Albrighton had made a great burst to | :35:18. | :35:19. | |
get involved in that move. Robert Huth is in there. Benalouane | :35:20. | :35:34. | |
is in there. It might reach one of them. And it reaches Jamie Vardy, | :35:35. | :35:38. | |
who restores the Leicester 2-goal advantage. Only his second away goal | :35:39. | :35:44. | |
of the season. With West Ham finding their way back into the game, | :35:45. | :35:47. | |
Leicester once again wrestle control of it. He hasn't been anywhere near | :35:48. | :35:54. | |
as prolific as he was last season. But he has restored Leicester's | :35:55. | :35:59. | |
2-goal advantage. In a half full of incident, full of chances, it's also | :36:00. | :36:05. | |
been full of goals. It's been an absolute dream start for him. Three | :36:06. | :36:10. | |
games in charge and three victories. But can he crack this away hoodoo? | :36:11. | :36:16. | |
They haven't won away from home since last April. | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
Lanzini. That was travelling. Just beyond the post, though. Sure | :36:21. | :36:28. | |
Michael appears to pull his arms away, confident it's going beyond | :36:29. | :36:33. | |
and not into his goal. And he was right -- Schmeichel appears. | :36:34. | :36:43. | |
Mahrez on towards Vardy. Outcomes Randolph and Vardy scoops it beyond | :36:44. | :36:53. | |
him and out of play. Vardy didn't quite get the connection that he was | :36:54. | :36:55. | |
hoping for. Good tackle by Ndidi on Antonio. | :36:56. | :37:12. | |
Lanzini has been fouled. Free kick to West Ham. Okazaki doesn't like | :37:13. | :37:17. | |
the decision. Looks a little bit too far around but you never know with | :37:18. | :37:25. | |
Lanzini. -- too far out. Lanzini lining it up to the same corner. | :37:26. | :37:32. | |
Schmeichel parries it away but I think it might have clipped the | :37:33. | :37:36. | |
outside of the post anyway. Schmeichel makes sure and you can | :37:37. | :37:37. | |
understand why he does. Nodded back by Carroll and turned in | :37:38. | :37:50. | |
by Ayew. West Ham are back in it. Carroll nods it back. Ayew thumps it | :37:51. | :37:55. | |
into the roof of the net. Back post corner. Carroll nods it back, Ayew | :37:56. | :38:01. | |
helps it in and Schmeichel can't help it. West Ham once again have | :38:02. | :38:08. | |
brought a 2-goal deficit down to one. And it's very much a contest. | :38:09. | :38:13. | |
Andre Ayew celebrates his fourth goal for West Ham. | :38:14. | :38:19. | |
Jose Fonte looking towards Carroll. Got a touch on it. Headed away by | :38:20. | :38:27. | |
Ndidi. Masuaku. Antonio. Carroll tries to get there. | :38:28. | :38:46. | |
Was it over the line? No. A good look at the watch from the referee | :38:47. | :38:50. | |
to check. Schmeichel managed to scoop it out. Does well with this, | :38:51. | :38:56. | |
almost over the line when he makes the save, but the ball wasn't. | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
Here's Antonio. Brilliant again from Antonio. Going straight at | :39:03. | :39:12. | |
Leicester. Ayew is on the side! He's missed it! What a chance. And he | :39:13. | :39:19. | |
knows it. Outstanding from Antonio. Ayew onside. The goal was at his | :39:20. | :39:26. | |
mercy but he puts it over the bar. The comeback should have been | :39:27. | :39:30. | |
completed right there and then. It wasn't, and Leicester are still | :39:31. | :39:31. | |
holding the advantage. Antonio does well. And it's another | :39:32. | :39:49. | |
West Ham corner. Prowling around his technical area, looking and hoping | :39:50. | :39:56. | |
and probably expecting his side will equalise, such is their head of | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
steam at the moment. Carroll leaks. An almighty scramble. Kouyate | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
couldn't quite turn it in. Carroll there again. Deflection straight | :40:07. | :40:12. | |
into the arms of Schmeichel. It's a siege. It really is a siege. But | :40:13. | :40:18. | |
Leicester just about managing to keep West Ham out. All the agonies | :40:19. | :40:22. | |
and ecstasies of management have all come his way today. | :40:23. | :40:25. | |
Here's Ayew. It's good from Ayew, and he's fouled, a free kick just in | :40:26. | :40:38. | |
front of the D. Ayew went straight at Chilwell. A combination of P and | :40:39. | :40:43. | |
Ndidi brought him down. Probably Ndidi the man who felled him. | :40:44. | :40:47. | |
Snodgrass is hovering over this, looking for his first for West Ham. | :40:48. | :40:52. | |
If this goes in the roof will rattle at the London Stadium. Deflection. | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
Carroll. Great save from Schmeichel. Unbelievable goalkeeping. He had no | :40:59. | :41:02. | |
right to save it. Everybody looking at the flag. It didn't go up. | :41:03. | :41:08. | |
Schmeichel, well, it was like a penalty save, only in some ways it | :41:09. | :41:13. | |
was harder. That's unbelievable. He's learned that from his dad, no | :41:14. | :41:22. | |
question. I think we started off really good, got the goals and got | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
in front. But it was to the backs to the wall in the second half. Really | :41:27. | :41:30. | |
pleased to get the result at the end of the day. In this league you can't | :41:31. | :41:37. | |
afford to be 3-1 down and then turn the game around. But Leicester | :41:38. | :41:40. | |
showed quality and character. -- but the lads showed quality and | :41:41. | :41:45. | |
character. We created more than enough chances at least to get a | :41:46. | :41:49. | |
point. Can you sum up the week for you personally and for the team. It | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
must have been incredible. On the outside you try to keep calm and | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
collected because it's important the players stay focused. But I'm | :41:59. | :42:01. | |
immensely proud of the results we've got. Absolutely outstanding save at | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
the end. What was going through your head? Please hit me! It's one of | :42:07. | :42:13. | |
them. It bounces to him and you try to make yourself as big as you can | :42:14. | :42:16. | |
and hope that it hits you. Nine times out of ten it doesn't. This | :42:17. | :42:23. | |
time luck was on my side. Kasper Schmeichel, those two saves were | :42:24. | :42:26. | |
astonishing. He's probably the one Leicester player whose form has | :42:27. | :42:30. | |
dipped this season. His performance was pivotal to Leicester winning | :42:31. | :42:34. | |
their first away game of the season. He was magnificent, a Man of the | :42:35. | :42:39. | |
Match performance without doubt. He's been in incredible form. He has | :42:40. | :42:43. | |
been for a while. He's worked hard. Crosses and balls into the box. | :42:44. | :42:48. | |
These saves, Andy Carroll does everything right. Thank goodness for | :42:49. | :42:52. | |
the goal decision system, because that left hand, the way he claws | :42:53. | :42:56. | |
that ball away is incredible. He has to move his feet to get there. This | :42:57. | :43:01. | |
is even better. Point-blank range. You could say Andy Carroll should | :43:02. | :43:12. | |
score, but he manages to bring out his arm and punch it away. His old | :43:13. | :43:17. | |
man did that time and time again. It was so reminiscent of him coming out | :43:18. | :43:21. | |
there with a big strong hand. Superb save. For West Ham, Lanzini | :43:22. | :43:30. | |
continues to impress. This was a fantastic game of football. Both | :43:31. | :43:34. | |
teams played well, but now that Payet has gone, Lanzini has stepped | :43:35. | :43:37. | |
up and decided he wants to be the man. He had the complete midfield | :43:38. | :43:41. | |
performance today. He's happy to make angles for people and get | :43:42. | :43:46. | |
forward. He always wants the ball. Plays it simple, keeps it moving. | :43:47. | :43:51. | |
The creates a block in front of his backline, but when he wins it he | :43:52. | :43:55. | |
gets forward and gets his head up. This is fantastic, winning the ball | :43:56. | :44:01. | |
back, doing his job for the team. Round the corner, gets the ball | :44:02. | :44:04. | |
back, a pass forward again. Keeps going forward and he wants the ball. | :44:05. | :44:09. | |
It's a joy to have a player in the team who always wants the ball in | :44:10. | :44:13. | |
tight situations. Turns defence into attack. Comes off the line. Moves | :44:14. | :44:17. | |
position a lot. He draws people towards him which creates space for | :44:18. | :44:22. | |
his team-mates. This is the second free kick. He is a long way out, but | :44:23. | :44:27. | |
it's such a vicious free kick, forces Schmeichel to make the save. | :44:28. | :44:35. | |
This is a wonderful strike. Keeps it simple, lines up with the ball, | :44:36. | :44:37. | |
knows when he wants to put it and Schmeichel is rooted to the spot. | :44:38. | :44:40. | |
Perfect free kick from a short distance. | :44:41. | :44:42. | |
Everton hosted Hull having been rocked by the news that | :44:43. | :44:44. | |
Romelu Lukaku has rejected the offer of a new contract. | :44:45. | :44:47. | |
Meanwhile, the visitors were focused on Premier League survival | :44:48. | :44:49. | |
and started the day two points from safety. | :44:50. | :44:51. | |
COMMENTATOR: Two years left on his contract for Romelu Lukaku, that | :44:52. | :45:00. | |
could equate to 50 odd goals, put a price on that. Everton hope they | :45:01. | :45:04. | |
won't have to. Victory today would take them above Manchester United | :45:05. | :45:08. | |
for now and maybe nearer their aim of European football. Hull's aim is | :45:09. | :45:18. | |
simply to survive. Everton loanee is not available. Davies returns having | :45:19. | :45:21. | |
recovered from a hamstring injury. Getting on to it here, Clucas. Has | :45:22. | :45:45. | |
support. Clucas inside the penalty. Markovic at the back post. Here's | :45:46. | :45:47. | |
Javier Hernandez. Ashley Williams made the block for Everton. Hull | :45:48. | :45:49. | |
have started in a sprightly fashion here. Leighton Baines gave him a | :45:50. | :45:55. | |
shove with his right hand. Accurately brace his birthday next | :45:56. | :46:01. | |
Tuesday, Ronald Koeman. He turns 54 -- celebrates. The referee didn't | :46:02. | :46:10. | |
spot that shirt pull. Everton so strong at home. They have only lost | :46:11. | :46:16. | |
one of their 14 home Premier League games so far this season. | :46:17. | :46:22. | |
Barkley, looking for the run of Davies, who is onside. Davies, | :46:23. | :46:33. | |
Dominic Calvert-Lewin! What a lovely way to get off the mark. Dominic | :46:34. | :46:39. | |
Calvert-Lewin, his first Everton goal, put on a plate for him. Lovely | :46:40. | :46:50. | |
run by Davies. Great awareness from Davies. A confident finish from | :46:51. | :46:56. | |
another promising young Blue. Everton 1, Hull City 0. It was an | :46:57. | :47:14. | |
Everton move which started with Morgan Schneiderlin pulling the | :47:15. | :47:15. | |
shirt of Hernandez. Then seconds later Everton had scored. Here's | :47:16. | :47:17. | |
Barry. Not the ball Lukaku was looking for from Barry. He is making | :47:18. | :47:20. | |
that point now. No cloud reaction to Lukaku. Given his failure to sign a | :47:21. | :47:28. | |
new contract, which is on the table for him. Clucas, just too high. | :47:29. | :47:37. | |
Great chance for Sam Clucas. Everton off the hook here. William's | :47:38. | :47:43. | |
hesitation, uncertainty, and Clucas just couldn't get it down. Good | :47:44. | :47:54. | |
running here. Clucas couldn't control it. The attack has broken | :47:55. | :47:58. | |
down. The counter-attack is building. Barkley to Lukaku. | :47:59. | :48:07. | |
Lukaku, still going, still going. Ignored Dominic Calvert-Lewin who | :48:08. | :48:11. | |
was possibly better placed to his left hand side. Once he found space, | :48:12. | :48:18. | |
he had eyes only for the goal. Davies. That's dangerous. He got | :48:19. | :48:29. | |
there. Clucas stretching. Lovely touch. He wants it from Baines. | :48:30. | :48:32. | |
Baines drilling it away to Lukaku. Brilliant ball. Lukaku, onside. | :48:33. | :48:41. | |
Lukaku. He goes for goal, again. A really good save by Jakupovic. Great | :48:42. | :48:51. | |
ball by Leighton Baines. Lukaku his only other option was Barkley. Not | :48:52. | :49:19. | |
impossible that they could leave Goodison Park with something, Hull | :49:20. | :49:19. | |
City. Into the side-netting from Andrew Robertson. He knows he might | :49:20. | :49:20. | |
have done more with that. Took it first time and didn't hit it cleanly | :49:21. | :49:26. | |
at all. Here's Barkley. Davies. A foot in again. That is a foul. Tom | :49:27. | :49:35. | |
Huddlestone is off. Straight red card for Tom Huddlestone. That makes | :49:36. | :49:40. | |
it difficult for Hull City. The referee couldn't be closer to it. He | :49:41. | :49:49. | |
misses the ball, straight into his standing foot. It's dangerous. Hull | :49:50. | :49:55. | |
City will play the last 17 minutes of this game with 10-men. Tom Davies | :49:56. | :50:02. | |
making way, Enner Valencia coming on. Valencia having finally broken | :50:03. | :50:12. | |
his duck as an Everton player in 3-2 defeat at White Hart Lane at the | :50:13. | :50:15. | |
beginning of the month. Williams, Valencia. Oh, beautifully back into | :50:16. | :50:25. | |
his path. Enner Valencia - 2-0 Everton. Hull City carved open by a | :50:26. | :50:33. | |
Valencia-Lukaku combination. The substitute, who has only been on the | :50:34. | :50:39. | |
pitch for a matter of moment helps himself to a second goal in Everton | :50:40. | :50:44. | |
Blue. Beautiful dink return from Lukaku. Smartly taken from Valencia. | :50:45. | :50:49. | |
That should seal three points for Everton. Valencia. Oh, good ball, | :50:50. | :50:59. | |
Lukaku. 20th league goal of the season for Romelu Lukaku. The first | :51:00. | :51:08. | |
Everton striker to reach that goal since Gary Lineker in 1986. Lineker | :51:09. | :51:13. | |
didn't stop at 20. I doubt whether Lukaku will either. Good ball by | :51:14. | :51:20. | |
Valencia. Typical finish by Lukaku. The scoreline a little harsh on Hull | :51:21. | :51:23. | |
City, but it is Everton 3, Hull 0. Short. It could be a fourth. Lukaku, | :51:24. | :51:46. | |
it surely will be. Elabdellaoui with the mistake. Lukaku with another | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
goal. At the end of a week in which he has made headlines at Goodison | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
Park by rejecting the richest contract a club has ever offered a | :51:56. | :51:59. | |
player, but he soaks up the love anyway with two late goals. It's | :52:00. | :52:06. | |
4-0. I think the final result today didn't reflect what happened on the | :52:07. | :52:12. | |
pitch. It's too harsh that red card. OK, that killed the game for Hull. I | :52:13. | :52:16. | |
think they played well. They make it really tough. Everton today was not | :52:17. | :52:24. | |
at the best. I saw one game until 70 minutes and after another game. We | :52:25. | :52:28. | |
didn't deserve this result or the decision. Until then we compete. We | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
came and brought big problems for Everton. After, the game changed. | :52:33. | :52:39. | |
For me, my players and my fans we didn't deserve the decision. It | :52:40. | :52:43. | |
shows the club and the gaffer is willing to give young players an | :52:44. | :52:45. | |
opportunity in the first team. We've all played our part when we have | :52:46. | :52:48. | |
been given the chance. It's proved we can play at this level. Can you | :52:49. | :52:54. | |
give those Everton fans some hope that Barkley and Lukaku will both be | :52:55. | :52:58. | |
Everton players next season? You need to have hope in life, that's | :52:59. | :53:01. | |
the best. Both are key players for the team. Everton will do the | :53:02. | :53:06. | |
maximum to keep these two players. Always the final decision is by the | :53:07. | :53:10. | |
player himself. Is we will come to that shortly. 1-0 the game was | :53:11. | :53:14. | |
balanced. Hull were a threat. Then the decision to send Huddlestone | :53:15. | :53:20. | |
off. What did you make of it? It was a tough decision for the referee. I | :53:21. | :53:25. | |
would have given given a yellow instead of a red. I understand why | :53:26. | :53:29. | |
he had has given it. It was clumsy, it was careless. He didn't go in | :53:30. | :53:34. | |
with two feet. I know it was high. You think it was a red card? I | :53:35. | :53:38. | |
looked at it from the referee's view. From that angle you can't see | :53:39. | :53:42. | |
it well. The ref is the other side of the ball. His foot is high over | :53:43. | :53:49. | |
the ball. From this angle, the referee's angle, it's difficult. He | :53:50. | :53:51. | |
might have a straight leg. He might have gone over the top. The referee | :53:52. | :53:57. | |
is looking at protecting players. He obviously considers that endangering | :53:58. | :54:03. | |
the opponent. It's marginal. It's harsh. You have to back the ref. | :54:04. | :54:09. | |
Orange. Lukaku becomes the first Everton player in history to score | :54:10. | :54:14. | |
20 league goals in a season because obviously football didn't exist | :54:15. | :54:18. | |
pre-Premier League, there you have it? Onaries an athlete. I don't know | :54:19. | :54:27. | |
who the other one is. Look at that picture! -- one's. He got two goals. | :54:28. | :54:36. | |
One assist. Lovely given goal to Valencia who had been on just over a | :54:37. | :54:50. | |
minute. On the last man, pace, in between, with the confidence he has | :54:51. | :54:51. | |
this season, no way he ises ming that. A clever finish. A gift here. | :54:52. | :54:52. | |
A step over, one-on-one with the keeper, again. He's absolutely | :54:53. | :54:55. | |
flying. He looks the real deal, doesn't he? He has everything, left | :54:56. | :54:59. | |
foot, right foot. When he is running into space and attacking defenders | :55:00. | :55:05. | |
he must terrify him. He is Drogba like. He hasn't hit those heights. | :55:06. | :55:09. | |
You see the reaction with the fans. He is giving them lots of love. In | :55:10. | :55:13. | |
good company before turning 24 years of age. The impressive thing, also | :55:14. | :55:20. | |
Gary, his fifth full season. He hasn't as yet this season, he is on | :55:21. | :55:23. | |
target to play over 30 games in every one of those seasons as well. | :55:24. | :55:29. | |
Superb. It is. What player scores 20 league goals for Everton and decides | :55:30. | :55:32. | |
to leave at the end of the season. Do you think he will go? I think he | :55:33. | :55:37. | |
will go, yes. The big boys will come sniffing for him. Top clubs take | :55:38. | :55:41. | |
him? Manchester United will look for a forward or two. Arsenal will be | :55:42. | :55:46. | |
looking for a forward, even Chelsea. Maybe even Liverpool as well. He's | :55:47. | :55:50. | |
got that, he has that ability. . Will only get better. 23 years of | :55:51. | :55:54. | |
age. Got a fantastic goalscoring record. They paid ?28 million for | :55:55. | :55:58. | |
him three years ago. When you look at the prices now we would talk | :55:59. | :56:03. | |
about ?60-70 million for him. Is that all? OK, we will move on from | :56:04. | :56:07. | |
that. Just three points separated | :56:08. | :56:09. | |
Bournemouth and Swansea ahead of their meeting at the Vitality | :56:10. | :56:11. | |
Stadium. A win for either side could ease | :56:12. | :56:13. | |
their relegation concerns. COMMENTATOR: Harry Arter has been | :56:14. | :56:23. | |
unable to shake off the calf problem he got last week, Surman comes into | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
midfield after a ban. After being left out of the latest England | :56:28. | :56:33. | |
squad, Jack Wilshere begins on the Bournemouth bench again. Ayew starts | :56:34. | :56:40. | |
with Kingsley and Ki Sung-Yueng featuring for the first time since | :56:41. | :56:47. | |
January. January. Top-scorer Llorente has recovered from a dead | :56:48. | :56:53. | |
leg. Here is Gosling, quickly closed down. Weaved his way through, Joshua | :56:54. | :57:01. | |
King. Fraser. Ryan Fraser! First genuine chance of the game. Ryan | :57:02. | :57:05. | |
Fraser, called up to the Scotland squad for the first time this week, | :57:06. | :57:11. | |
dragging his final effort wide. Eddie Howe always felt Swansea had a | :57:12. | :57:16. | |
good group of players who could do well in the Premier League he says | :57:17. | :57:23. | |
Paul Clement has galvanised them as they inch their way up the table. | :57:24. | :57:28. | |
Here is Fer, went for the early ball, came off Daniels. Fer cranking | :57:29. | :57:33. | |
up for a long one. Llorente gets the header. Sigurdsson. Well, by his | :57:34. | :57:43. | |
standards that goes down as a chance. Mawson. Kingsley is on the | :57:44. | :57:53. | |
charge, on the left hand side. Smith is has caught Kingsley there. That | :57:54. | :58:03. | |
will be a Swansea free-kick. Sigurdsson over the free-kick. | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
Decent delivery. It was just glanced wide of his own-goal by Joshua King. | :58:08. | :58:16. | |
The man who got a hat-trick here last weekend almost opened the | :58:17. | :58:18. | |
scoring, but not in the way he would have wanted. Cook. | :58:19. | :58:29. | |
Cook, just ran away from him. It has broken for Joshua King. Pugh back to | :58:30. | :58:39. | |
Joshua King. Now it's Afobe. It's in. Benik Afobe, who couldn't score | :58:40. | :58:45. | |
a penalty last week, has fired Bournemouth in front this time | :58:46. | :58:51. | |
around. Afobe, who scored in Birmingham's victory at Swansea | :58:52. | :58:57. | |
earlier on this season, has scored against the Swans once again. He had | :58:58. | :59:03. | |
the benefit of a deflection off Alfei Mawson. A grin on his face | :59:04. | :59:08. | |
there. If they take the goal off him, that will quickly disappear. | :59:09. | :59:13. | |
Won four, lost four in the Premier League for Swansea since Paul | :59:14. | :59:17. | |
Clement took over. Three of those defeats came against Arsenal, | :59:18. | :59:21. | |
Manchester City and Chelsea. Taken down well by Leroy Fer. | :59:22. | :59:28. | |
Sigurdsson has a go. Not a bad effort and a pretty good save from | :59:29. | :59:33. | |
Artur Boruc. Wonderful technique from Sigurdsson. Probably was just | :59:34. | :59:44. | |
drifting wide. Benik Afobe up against Mawson. | :59:45. | :59:53. | |
Won back well by Bournemouth. Gosling! Good hit. Top save from | :59:54. | :00:04. | |
Fabianski as well. Swansea played themselves into a spot of bother | :00:05. | :00:08. | |
there, and they were very nearly punished by Dan Gosling. If Eddie | :00:09. | :00:13. | |
Howe's side win today, it will be the first time in just over a year | :00:14. | :00:17. | |
that they have managed back-to-back league victories. Well won by | :00:18. | :00:25. | |
Gosling. Joshua King. Benik Afobe with a real chance. 2-0, | :00:26. | :00:31. | |
Bournemouth. And that one certainly is Benik Afobe's goal. Credit to | :00:32. | :00:38. | |
Joshua King for the run and then the well weighted pass to Afobe. Inch | :00:39. | :00:47. | |
perfect finish by him beyond Fabianski, and he will feel he | :00:48. | :00:52. | |
should have two to his name. He certainly has at least one in the | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
bag. Surely it's all three points wrapped up for Bournemouth as well. | :00:57. | :01:03. | |
Pugh pokes it through to Wilshere. On his own at the moment. It's stood | :01:04. | :01:13. | |
up towards King. What a save from Fabianski. Josh King keeps it alive. | :01:14. | :01:19. | |
It's too high for Afobe. Now Wilshere. A good ball in again. | :01:20. | :01:28. | |
Smith... And Fabianski gratefully gathers. This was a top drawer save | :01:29. | :01:35. | |
from Fabianski, he flung himself into the path of it and beat it | :01:36. | :01:39. | |
away. Delighted today with the back-to-back wins. Something we are | :01:40. | :01:46. | |
pleased to achieve and it's a long time since we have been solid enough | :01:47. | :01:51. | |
to keep a clean sheet. Bournemouth were deserving of the victory, they | :01:52. | :01:55. | |
were more clinical than us. The situation is not bad. We have come a | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
long way in the last two and a half months. We are in 17th, and when I | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
came in we were bottom on 12 points. If the season finished tomorrow we | :02:07. | :02:10. | |
would be happy in 17th and we will play at this level next season. The | :02:11. | :02:15. | |
fact is we have nine games to go. It's important now we have two home | :02:16. | :02:19. | |
games. Bournemouth have just shown that if you put together | :02:20. | :02:22. | |
back-to-back wins you can climb out of that situation and we have to do | :02:23. | :02:26. | |
the same. Football is a funny old game. I have never gone hiding in my | :02:27. | :02:30. | |
life. I missed a couple of chances last week but have kept going, | :02:31. | :02:34. | |
worked on my finishing and one has gone in for me today. I will keep | :02:35. | :02:38. | |
going and get as many goals as I can before the end of the season. What | :02:39. | :02:42. | |
is turned around in the last fortnight? I don't think anything | :02:43. | :02:45. | |
has turned around, the players have just stuck with it, didn't get too | :02:46. | :02:50. | |
negative and managed to ride out a mini period where we didn't get | :02:51. | :02:55. | |
things as he wanted to. That mental resilience has been keep. Two | :02:56. | :03:01. | |
consecutive wins takes the heat off. It was merited. Bournemouth were not | :03:02. | :03:05. | |
exceptional but they played well enough. Swansea tried to be | :03:06. | :03:08. | |
defensive to begin with and it worked for 30 minutes until they | :03:09. | :03:13. | |
lost their shape, needlessly. Fernandez here, they are in a good | :03:14. | :03:18. | |
line, and there is no danger until Fernandes decides he will suddenly | :03:19. | :03:21. | |
stepped out to engage with Josh King. That leaves a gap for a | :03:22. | :03:26. | |
striker to run in. Benik Afobe gets away. He's lucky with the shot. | :03:27. | :03:32. | |
Unlucky not to get the goal! Marginally going past the post, so | :03:33. | :03:36. | |
it deflects off Mawson. He didn't get that goal, but he certainly will | :03:37. | :03:41. | |
get this one. He gets on the other side of Mawson again. Gets his feet | :03:42. | :03:45. | |
mixed up. Very good finish, in off the post. Three big points for | :03:46. | :03:50. | |
Bournemouth. That's them out of trouble now. Swansea offered very | :03:51. | :03:55. | |
little today. They were very poor. But they have been playing very | :03:56. | :03:56. | |
well. They had an off day. The tense battle for the top four | :03:57. | :04:03. | |
will take centre stage The race for the top four is well | :04:04. | :04:05. | |
and truly on. Before that, Match of the Day 2 | :04:06. | :04:20. | |
Extra will analyse the weekend's Radio 5 Live then has | :04:21. | :04:23. | |
commentary on two matches. Tottenham versus Southampton | :04:24. | :04:28. | |
is followed by Manchester City against Liverpool, live | :04:29. | :04:30. | |
from the Etihad. And also coming up on the BBC | :04:31. | :04:33. | |
is a special programme I don't think I have grieved | :04:34. | :04:45. | |
properly. I've not given myself that time to sit down and really flush | :04:46. | :04:52. | |
everything out. Two years ago former England captain Rio Ferdinand lost | :04:53. | :04:55. | |
his wife to cancer, leaving him as sole parents to their three | :04:56. | :04:59. | |
children. Now I'm at the point where I want to go out there to see what's | :05:00. | :05:04. | |
available for families who have somebody pass away. There is a life | :05:05. | :05:06. | |
out there afterwards. I have seen that documentary and | :05:07. | :05:12. | |
it's very powerful. Sam Allardyce began life | :05:13. | :05:17. | |
as Crystal Palace manager with an away draw at Watford | :05:18. | :05:19. | |
on Boxing Day. Ahead of the return | :05:20. | :05:21. | |
at Selhurst Park, Palace had finally managed back-to-back victories | :05:22. | :05:24. | |
to take them out Watching this one | :05:25. | :05:25. | |
was Jonathan Pearce. COMMENTATOR: Is Tunnel King Sam | :05:26. | :05:34. | |
Allardyce leading another great escape? Palace are back from a | :05:35. | :05:37. | |
training break in Morocco, making one change from the win over West | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
Brom a fortnight ago. Jeff Schlupp in for the injured Van Aanholt. Two | :05:42. | :05:45. | |
clean sheets in a row, conceding six in seven as Allardyce plug the | :05:46. | :05:49. | |
leaks. Craig Cathcart appearing for the first time in a month for | :05:50. | :05:55. | |
Watford. Janmaat also fit. Holebas and Okaka drop to the bench. Etienne | :05:56. | :06:02. | |
Capoue is OK after a midweek virus. Zaha uses his pace against Cathcart | :06:03. | :06:07. | |
and gets in between the two defenders. No free kick. Zaha | :06:08. | :06:12. | |
certainly played for it. I think it's a foul there, and I think it | :06:13. | :06:17. | |
was outside the box when the foul started. The referee was brilliantly | :06:18. | :06:20. | |
placed and said there was no infringement at all. He always said | :06:21. | :06:26. | |
that Crystal Palace fans wouldn't see a significant improvement until | :06:27. | :06:28. | |
March. Or even later on, in April. Clever ball by Jason Puncheon, one | :06:29. | :06:44. | |
of the game 's best passes so far. Zaha to the dead-ball line. Away by | :06:45. | :06:51. | |
Kaboul. Deflected from Cabaye. The best we have seen from Crystal | :06:52. | :06:54. | |
Palace. Really important header away. Great piece of wing play by | :06:55. | :07:01. | |
Zaha. Watford chop and change so many times in the close season, you | :07:02. | :07:06. | |
wonder if he will be here next season. A modest career over 13 | :07:07. | :07:09. | |
years and 11 clubs as a player. James Tomkins got it away. Tom | :07:10. | :07:21. | |
Cleverley foraged. Niang on the outside of Josh Ward. Tomkins will | :07:22. | :07:30. | |
get it away. Cabaye was running with Cleverley and he has gone down | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
holding the back of his head. Cabaye behind Cleverley. Tom Cleverley | :07:35. | :07:37. | |
certainly moved his arm back. Tom Cleverley certainly | :07:38. | :07:41. | |
moved his arm back. Now Zaha. To stretch the legs and | :07:42. | :07:50. | |
run Cathcart. Brilliantly played. He's been the game's best player. | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
Brilliantly through to Puncheon. Hanging on, Sebastian Prodl. Was | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
there a cuff? The referee will try to calm things down. Martin Atkinson | :08:03. | :08:10. | |
has had a brilliant game. Cuffed him with the right hand. Silly from | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
Zaha. Townsend, up through the gears. This is what he can do. He | :08:16. | :08:21. | |
gets the cross in as well. It comes to Wilfried Zaha. Is this Palace's | :08:22. | :08:28. | |
big moment? Over he goes. Good run by Townsend. Why doesn't he do it | :08:29. | :08:30. | |
more often? Zaha lifted it over. Townsend doubles up with Kelly. Back | :08:31. | :08:45. | |
in two Niang. That looked like a stamping challenge. Niang stays down | :08:46. | :08:55. | |
and the Watford fans howl. Zaha is taken out by Sebastian Prodl. That | :08:56. | :09:00. | |
will be a yellow card. Watford fans enraged that a free kick wasn't | :09:01. | :09:04. | |
given at the other end. Risky challenge to make in there. He makes | :09:05. | :09:09. | |
contact with the foot of Niang. Martin Atkinson might have been | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
blindsided by it. Should have been a free kick, and if it was, it should | :09:15. | :09:18. | |
have been a yellow card. At the other end, Sebastian Prodl certainly | :09:19. | :09:22. | |
takes an Zaha. Definite course double -- caution able offence. | :09:23. | :09:37. | |
Crystal Palace take the lead. Watford scratch their heads. Troy | :09:38. | :09:41. | |
Deeney has a great scoring record against Crystal Palace, and he has | :09:42. | :09:45. | |
scored four Crystal Palace. Lovely delivery in. The knee got across his | :09:46. | :09:53. | |
man. He beat his own keeper. -- Troy Deeney got across his man. Doesn't | :09:54. | :09:56. | |
matter how they go in when you are at the bottom of the table. It's | :09:57. | :10:01. | |
become a bit steamy in the second half. To be honest, it needed to. A | :10:02. | :10:06. | |
long-range effort, nearly beat Hennessey. He had to react smartly | :10:07. | :10:11. | |
to Doucoure. Probably Watford's best effort of the game. Moving horribly | :10:12. | :10:18. | |
in the air for the goalkeeper. Hennessey had to make sure. The | :10:19. | :10:22. | |
jacket is off, the gloves are off. He's annoyed. Britos, good work by | :10:23. | :10:31. | |
Jason Puncheon again, pressure rising. Townsend up through the | :10:32. | :10:36. | |
gears. Britos struggling. Plans to Zaha. Brilliant block from Cathcart. | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
Cabaye! That would have settled it. Certainly since the goal Crystal | :10:44. | :10:46. | |
Palace have been by far the better team. The jacket is back on. Is that | :10:47. | :10:56. | |
a signal of acceptance? Watford about to go four league games | :10:57. | :11:01. | |
without a win. One last time. Looking for Troy Deeney. Hennessey | :11:02. | :11:05. | |
comes and doesn't get there. Niang! Over the bar. The last chance of the | :11:06. | :11:10. | |
game has come and gone. Troy Deeney foraged so hard for it and took a | :11:11. | :11:16. | |
clout. Crystal Palace have held onto a crucial victory. Watford not yet | :11:17. | :11:23. | |
clear of danger. Watford made it really tough. They had recently won | :11:24. | :11:27. | |
away at Arsenal, but we toughed it out with them and our quality paid | :11:28. | :11:33. | |
off in the end. Walter, do you think Watford should have had a free kick | :11:34. | :11:36. | |
for a foul before Crystal Palace scored? TRANSLATION: We are not | :11:37. | :11:41. | |
happy and disappointed as well because there was a foul before the | :11:42. | :11:48. | |
goal. In our favour. The goal was also an own goal. We didn't deserve | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
to lose, absolutely. A little lapse of concentration on my part. The | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
ball dipped in front of me. I put my head down and it ended up in the | :11:59. | :12:02. | |
back of the net. I'm not one for apologising, it's just a mistake. | :12:03. | :12:08. | |
The out of possession work to now since I got here, that has improved | :12:09. | :12:12. | |
so much. It's why we are getting victories. They are shutting down | :12:13. | :12:15. | |
the opposition and making it difficult for them. When they get | :12:16. | :12:19. | |
the ball, there is quality to get as the victory. Not the greatest game | :12:20. | :12:24. | |
in Crystal Palace's history at Selhurst Park. But Sam and the | :12:25. | :12:29. | |
Palace fans won't care one jot. It's one of the rare occasions where a | :12:30. | :12:31. | |
team wins a game without registering a shot on target. We will talk about | :12:32. | :12:38. | |
Sam and his defensive duties. When he was at Sunderland, his first 15 | :12:39. | :12:43. | |
games, 28 goals conceded, his second 15, just 16. It gets a while for him | :12:44. | :12:53. | |
to get his team how he wants them. -- he takes a while. Sakho is a key | :12:54. | :12:58. | |
component to the backline. He is positive, gives a solid feel to the | :12:59. | :13:03. | |
backline. He wants to defend. As quite good discipline as well. That | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
has encouraged his team-mates to work hard together. Looking at them | :13:08. | :13:12. | |
as a unit, Niang can't get past them so decides to have a long-range | :13:13. | :13:16. | |
effort. He also has some composure, good qualities. Pulls the ball out | :13:17. | :13:21. | |
when he has time and place it to set off the attack for Palace. Even when | :13:22. | :13:26. | |
he doesn't win the ball, he's a nuisance. Doesn't win the first one, | :13:27. | :13:30. | |
but gets the second. Scruffy clearance to get it away from | :13:31. | :13:34. | |
danger. It sums up what Crystal Palace are doing under Allardyce. | :13:35. | :13:38. | |
The looks a bit clumsy, but I liked him at Liverpool. I'm surprised they | :13:39. | :13:42. | |
let him go. He cost a bit, but he has made a difference to what was a | :13:43. | :13:44. | |
struggling team. Time was running out for Sunderland | :13:45. | :13:49. | |
after a run of one win in ten had left them rooted to the bottom | :13:50. | :13:52. | |
of the table. If they were to pull off | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
another great escape surely they had to beat Burnley, | :13:56. | :13:57. | |
who currently possess one of the worst away records | :13:58. | :13:59. | |
in Premier League history. At the Stadium of Light | :14:00. | :14:01. | |
was Guy Mowbray. COMMENTATOR: Harry Kane is the only | :14:02. | :14:06. | |
Englishman to score more Premier League goals than Jermain Defoe this | :14:07. | :14:10. | |
season. Perhaps it's only right to be 34-year-old has been recalled for | :14:11. | :14:14. | |
England duty more than three years after his last Three Lions game. | :14:15. | :14:18. | |
Maybe one day Andre Gray will receive the same honour. He's on the | :14:19. | :14:22. | |
right track with seven goals in his last 11 Premier League games, | :14:23. | :14:25. | |
including a hat-trick against Sunderland on New Year's Eve. All | :14:26. | :14:31. | |
Premier League referees today are using the soon to be issued new 12 | :14:32. | :14:33. | |
sided ?1 coin. Lowton heard the shout of keepers | :14:34. | :14:46. | |
then. Pickford in too much of a hurry to get the ball away. Find | :14:47. | :14:54. | |
Arfield. Ward, beaten Januzaj. Burnley have a corner. It has come | :14:55. | :15:00. | |
from Pickford's hurried clearance. It's been a feature of Burnley's | :15:01. | :15:04. | |
corners that they've always been on the move. Here they go again. Why is | :15:05. | :15:10. | |
Joey going? Too high for Joey Barton. Ben Mee. Norburnly corner. | :15:11. | :15:26. | |
He felt he might have been pushed by Ben Mee, Oviedo. Arfield in. | :15:27. | :15:32. | |
Couldn't get high enough. Rodwell, not far enough out. Boyd, blocked by | :15:33. | :15:36. | |
Gibson. I think it did strike his hands, but he was no more than an | :15:37. | :15:45. | |
inch away from George Boyd. Stopped by the arm of Gibson, but the | :15:46. | :15:49. | |
distance involved and the ferocity of the strike I think ruled out the | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
claim quite quickly. Sunderland's owner is in attendance today for | :15:57. | :15:59. | |
only the second time at the Stadium of Light all season. Ben Mee. Down | :16:00. | :16:10. | |
as though caught by Januzaj. Burnley press on in attack mode with Andre | :16:11. | :16:17. | |
Gray. Won't reach Boyd. Ben Mee is still down. Januzaj. He's the player | :16:18. | :16:23. | |
at the centre of it for Sunderland. Trying it get away from Hendrick. | :16:24. | :16:27. | |
Free-kick Sunderland with Burnley angry they didn't get one just a few | :16:28. | :16:33. | |
moments ago. Miss timed his jump for the ball, certainly. That is total | :16:34. | :16:37. | |
accidental coming together. Both teams struggling for goals. Burnley | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
have scored eight away from home. Sunderland have only scored in one | :16:43. | :16:45. | |
of their last seven games anywhere. Ward. Gray. Arfield. Barnes - | :16:46. | :16:56. | |
misses. The flag stayed down. Huge opportunity for Burnley. Good work | :16:57. | :17:02. | |
by Andre Gray. And by Scott Arfield. It might have been just a boot | :17:03. | :17:08. | |
offside. He looks bang in line, you know. That's how difficult it is. | :17:09. | :17:24. | |
Boyd. Oviedo. Borini! Defoe wanted it pulled back and across. Borini | :17:25. | :17:32. | |
didn't seem sure which boot to take it on, and it was tame. Jones nipped | :17:33. | :17:38. | |
in ahead of Ben Mee and Defoe keeps his balance. Looked as though there | :17:39. | :17:46. | |
was a nudge from Keane. A good save by Heaton to denied Januzaj. Januzaj | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
tries to keep things moving. There's Larsson! Sunderland haven't had | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
better chances than the ones they've already managed in the second-half. | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
That is well kept out by Heaton. Barton. Boyd will do really well to | :18:03. | :18:07. | |
get to that. He's done really well. Arfield puts it over. That was | :18:08. | :18:23. | |
Barton. Larsson getting in Gibson's way. Pickford collects. Burnley | :18:24. | :18:31. | |
asked for a penalty. Play on. Januzaj, it has to be the right ball | :18:32. | :18:40. | |
in. He can't mess this. The ball never came in. Larsson. This's a | :18:41. | :18:48. | |
good ball in. It's headed wide. What a chance for Sunderland. Bill ill- | :18:49. | :18:59. | |
Jones. Hard to see the Black Cats getting a better chance than that | :19:00. | :19:02. | |
today. Jones got just ahead of the ball. It wasn't far away from | :19:03. | :19:08. | |
getting a touch from Defoe either. Burnley were adamant they should | :19:09. | :19:11. | |
have had a chance to score from 12 yards out. Larsson who stopped the | :19:12. | :19:16. | |
effort from Ward. It was Barnes down, with Oviedo going for the | :19:17. | :19:20. | |
ball. I think it missed everything. Gibson. Defoe. He uses his body to | :19:21. | :19:31. | |
get across. Defoe goes on. Can't get the shot away though because of | :19:32. | :19:36. | |
Michael Keane. His clearance isn't good though, straight to Jones. | :19:37. | :19:40. | |
Jones will be on to it, again. Januzaj! It's a whisker wide. Listen | :19:41. | :19:51. | |
to the noise now though. There is something building and brewing for | :19:52. | :19:55. | |
Sunderland. I think Tom Heaton had the shot covered, just about. | :19:56. | :20:02. | |
Denayer. Vokes has the better of him. Denayer tries to stop him. | :20:03. | :20:09. | |
Stopped by Pickford, cleared by O'Shea. Jason Denayer has apologies | :20:10. | :20:15. | |
to make to everybody else in red and white. He nearly put his side into | :20:16. | :20:19. | |
deep, deep bother. Seemingly no danger. That touch invited Vokes in. | :20:20. | :20:25. | |
Vokes just wanted it a whole lot more. Through to Jones. Jones never | :20:26. | :20:30. | |
really had it under his full control. It's broken to Borini. Huge | :20:31. | :20:37. | |
save from Heaton. Jones fought bravely. Borini struck it quite | :20:38. | :20:42. | |
sweetly. Is that just a sign that it's not going to be their day. It's | :20:43. | :20:49. | |
not their season. It's a missed opportunity, but it's also a point. | :20:50. | :20:52. | |
I know that between now and the end of the season we will have to win | :20:53. | :20:57. | |
quite a few games. We were always going have to draw some. It wasn't | :20:58. | :21:02. | |
one for the want of trying or for the players giving their all. We | :21:03. | :21:05. | |
have to say we didn't quite get what we wanted today. I thought we had | :21:06. | :21:09. | |
two golden chances and a possible penalty for a handball. I thought we | :21:10. | :21:13. | |
were in control of the game. Without being too dominant, we were in | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
control first half they came out and had a better second-half. They had | :21:18. | :21:20. | |
to win. They threw caution to the wind. Almost went into a 4-2-4 they | :21:21. | :21:26. | |
created chances. A game of missed chanced on both sides. Does it put | :21:27. | :21:31. | |
pressure on you as a manager when you know the owner is in the stands | :21:32. | :21:35. | |
watching on? No, none at all. Impressed with that one. A stinker | :21:36. | :21:39. | |
that really, wasn't it? That is being polite, Gary. That is why it | :21:40. | :21:43. | |
was last on the show. There is not so much to talk about. Same old | :21:44. | :21:49. | |
story for Sunderland. Don't worry we felt the same as well you had a nod | :21:50. | :22:00. | |
there. If Defoe don't score quite often Sunderland don't score. 24 he | :22:01. | :22:04. | |
has. They had one or two chances. Januzaj first there. I mean this one | :22:05. | :22:08. | |
is the biggest one. What a ball that is from Larsson. Billy Jones, | :22:09. | :22:13. | |
far-post, an absolute sitter. Sitter! He doesn't even hit the | :22:14. | :22:17. | |
target. Has to score there. A brilliant ball in. Even the last | :22:18. | :22:24. | |
couple of minutes falls to Borini. 24 goals in 28 games with | :22:25. | :22:28. | |
Sunderland. It's not enough. That has been their problem. A lot to do | :22:29. | :22:33. | |
to stay up. They have. They are getting cut adrift. It was a decent | :22:34. | :22:37. | |
point for Burnley. They are ticking along. Struggled away from home | :22:38. | :22:47. | |
generally. We are about out of time. Thank you boys. Let's look at the | :22:48. | :22:51. | |
Premier League table. Chelsea are 13 points clear. The biggest Premier | :22:52. | :22:54. | |
League league for almost two years and could win the Premier League | :22:55. | :22:57. | |
with three at the back. Everton go sixth ahead of Manchester United. | :22:58. | :23:02. | |
They have played three games more. Sunderland are seven points from | :23:03. | :23:05. | |
safety while Hull miss the chance to climb out of the relegation zone. | :23:06. | :23:10. | |
Crystal Palace are four points clear of trouble. Leicester have a six | :23:11. | :23:15. | |
point buffer. The papers. Arsene Wenger refuse to say whether he's | :23:16. | :23:23. | |
staying or going is crazy. The Mail adds he will resist pressure during | :23:24. | :23:29. | |
the international break. Harry Kane is winning the race to be England's | :23:30. | :23:33. | |
long-term captain, according to the Sun. | :23:34. | :23:35. | |
Chelsea dig in to send Conte crazy in the dug out. | :23:36. | :23:41. | |
From all of us here, a very good night. | :23:42. | :24:01. | |
The laws in the state of Florida are very harsh. | :24:02. | :24:04. | |
The good men and women of law enforcement | :24:05. | :24:14. | |
18 people have been killed in just 13 days. | :24:15. | :24:19. |
