:00:46. > :00:53.Good evening and welcome to assured perfectly formed at the data. We
:00:54. > :00:58.just have four fixtures to look at but each match at something riding
:00:59. > :00:59.on it and football also had the opportunity to remember the life of
:01:00. > :01:36.Ugo Ehiogu. In the studio we had Trevor Sinclair
:01:37. > :01:39.and Kevin Kilbane and Trevor, you knew him well, everybody says what a
:01:40. > :01:46.great player he was but a great man as well. He was a great man, a
:01:47. > :01:52.gentleman, a huge guy but a true gentleman. Solid on the pitch and
:01:53. > :01:57.polite and well mannered, almost strange for that era of defenders.
:01:58. > :02:01.The huge loss for football and you think of his family and close
:02:02. > :02:07.friends, condolences to them because it is a huge loss and a great shock.
:02:08. > :02:12.And just 44 years old. It is terribly sad, I first came across
:02:13. > :02:15.him when I was at West Brom, I did not know him personally but when I
:02:16. > :02:21.spoke to him he always had time, even when I was a youngster coming
:02:22. > :02:26.through. Tremendously sad but a total gentleman. He will be missed
:02:27. > :02:30.by so many. One of his former clubs, Middlesbrough, were at Bournemouth
:02:31. > :02:34.and we will see that later but we stuck at Hull where Marco Silva's
:02:35. > :02:37.incredible record since taking over had them just above the relegation
:02:38. > :02:43.zone and they took on Watford who had three wins in their last four
:02:44. > :02:48.games. COMMENTATOR: The KCOM Stadium is known as the fort was in these
:02:49. > :02:53.parts, 16 points from a possible 18 hit is a remarkable record under
:02:54. > :02:59.Marco Silva and the reason for Hull climbing out of the relegation zone.
:03:00. > :03:04.Their fate is in their own hand and their fans believe they can do it on
:03:05. > :03:09.home soil. Six of this starting XI were brought to the club in January
:03:10. > :03:15.when the likes of Snodgrass and Livermore were sold but he left out
:03:16. > :03:19.Michael Dobson and Tom Huddlestone. Elmohamady with at right track and
:03:20. > :03:26.Evandro in midfield. After serving a two match suspension, Miguel Britos
:03:27. > :03:32.is back in defence for Watford. They have lost their last three in a row
:03:33. > :03:36.on the road, perhaps on paper very welcome visitors. Hull City's last
:03:37. > :03:40.appearance here saw them beat Middlesbrough for two and that
:03:41. > :03:44.success took them out at the bottom three for the first time in six
:03:45. > :03:50.months and now the challenge is to stay out over the next month.
:03:51. > :03:57.Robertson is free and available, a chance to whip in a telling centre
:03:58. > :04:03.and it drops for Clucas. It felt invitingly on the half volley and
:04:04. > :04:08.Clucas, who has only scored once this season, was unable to control
:04:09. > :04:09.it and dispatch it goalwards and that is the closest Hull have come
:04:10. > :04:20.so far. Niasse has time to turn and was
:04:21. > :04:27.close to picking out Markovic. And then going through on Niang. And it
:04:28. > :04:32.is a red card! A red card for Oumar Niasse! What a turning point that
:04:33. > :04:38.could be, not just today but in the season for Hull City. It was a lazy
:04:39. > :04:44.challenge really, I wouldn't call it a dangerous one, the gist sticks out
:04:45. > :04:51.his leg and brushes Niang. If you look at the expression on his face,
:04:52. > :04:54.that says it all. Complete and utter bewilderment and having been
:04:55. > :05:02.considered strong favourites to win this game, they have a battle ahead.
:05:03. > :05:10.Britos picking out Tapuai. And a chance to cross and it is often
:05:11. > :05:18.Robertson -- picking out Etienne Capoue. And that is brilliantly
:05:19. > :05:26.saved by Jakupovic! It looked like it had crept in under the bar but
:05:27. > :05:31.Jakupovic and his reactions kept it at 0-0. Not quite so confident and
:05:32. > :05:38.optimistic now, the Hull faithful. A clever touch from Deeney. Tom
:05:39. > :05:45.Cleverley and now Amrabat, Hull have bodies back but Amrabat has some
:05:46. > :05:51.space and the shot came off Alfred N'Diaye for the corner. It opened up
:05:52. > :05:58.for Watford and Alfred N'Diaye was fortunate not to be cautioned for
:05:59. > :06:04.trying to drag back Niang. Amrabat almost got away through. The fifth
:06:05. > :06:07.corner for Watford, it is headed wide by Britos. Hull City at the
:06:08. > :06:15.moment really struggling to defend the set pieces. And from there he
:06:16. > :06:22.should be hitting the target. Hull City ending the first half on the
:06:23. > :06:25.offensive. It has run Drupal Robertson who went down under the
:06:26. > :06:30.challenge of Amrabat. It was a clumsy challenge from Amrabat and
:06:31. > :06:36.I'm not sure if he made any contact with the ball as Grosicki tried to
:06:37. > :06:41.hammer it goalwards. A point would not be the worst outcome for Hull
:06:42. > :06:47.City but it certainly was a game they targeted to get all three
:06:48. > :06:52.points from. Niang goes past Markovic.
:06:53. > :07:01.He couldn't keep it in after Elmohamady had poked it away from
:07:02. > :07:10.the Watford man. Holebas is shaping for a long throw with Deeney on the
:07:11. > :07:16.edge of the box. Harry Maguire got underneath it and they made a mess
:07:17. > :07:23.of it. Hull City have struggled with corners all game and this time with
:07:24. > :07:27.a long throw. It dropped to Capoue under pressure from Robertson and he
:07:28. > :07:33.got his shot away and Jakupovic got his right boot in the wake. It was
:07:34. > :07:37.an improvised stop but every bit as important as the acrobatic save in
:07:38. > :07:45.the first half to keep out Sebastian Prodl. He has got away from
:07:46. > :07:50.Elmohamady that he would have done but for the Egyptian using his arms.
:07:51. > :08:00.Watch on the replay as he went to ground, he falls on the ball.
:08:01. > :08:05.Worrying moments for Hull City. Tom Cleverley to dink it in, away by
:08:06. > :08:09.Maguire, Holebas drives it back in and Hernandez can bring it away and
:08:10. > :08:12.suddenly Hull City have players forward if they can use it quickly,
:08:13. > :08:23.Robertson has found Rosicky, Markovic in the middle Markovic!
:08:24. > :08:25.Against the bar and in! What a turnaround, what a counterattack,
:08:26. > :08:33.what an important goal for Hull City! Shia relief around the KCOM
:08:34. > :08:44.Stadium as Hull City swarmed forward -- sheer relief. Markovic could not
:08:45. > :08:52.quite head it home although it might have crossed the line but he was
:08:53. > :08:56.first to respond and Hull City, very much against the odds, take the lead
:08:57. > :08:58.and Marco Silva's remarkable record looks like it will continue after
:08:59. > :09:09.all. That is a lovely touch. Kamil
:09:10. > :09:15.Grosicki is with him and the pace of Hull at the moment is causing some
:09:16. > :09:20.trouble for Watford. That is a push by Holebas on Markovic and they will
:09:21. > :09:26.settle for that. Another opportunity for Hull. Kamil Grosicki and
:09:27. > :09:34.Robertson are over the ball and everybody is back for Watford. It'll
:09:35. > :09:40.come out as far as Markovic but it is off Janmaat for the corner. He
:09:41. > :09:44.couldn't quite get it to drop quickly enough and Janmaat was out
:09:45. > :09:50.swiftly but it is another corner. Another chance for Hull City and
:09:51. > :10:03.Grosicki is over it. It will drop to Sam Clucas with a good shot!
:10:04. > :10:09.Fantastic shot! Sam Clucas for Hull City. What a turnaround. First
:10:10. > :10:15.Markovic and now Sam Clucas have Hull City heading for another three
:10:16. > :10:21.points at home and Sam Clucas could not have caught it any better.
:10:22. > :10:28.Positioned for just this kind of opportunity Gomes had no chance
:10:29. > :10:32.whatsoever. Beyond his wildest dreams and this incredible record
:10:33. > :10:37.under Silva at the KCOM Stadium looks like carrying on for a little
:10:38. > :10:42.while yet. Watford have very much looked like a team who are mid-table
:10:43. > :10:50.with very little to play for. Touched on by Deeney and he can hit
:10:51. > :10:58.it! Over the bar. Yakubu bridge will claim he had it covered, Deeney has
:10:59. > :11:04.been quiet today for Watford -- Jakupovic. And there is the final
:11:05. > :11:08.whistle and another remarkable chapter in this remarkable Hull City
:11:09. > :11:15.story at the KCOM Stadium under Marco Silva. If ever a performance
:11:16. > :11:19.and result spells survival, this was it and these points could be the
:11:20. > :11:23.points that determine Premier League football here next season.
:11:24. > :11:32.I say for the players we have to run more than the opponent and we work
:11:33. > :11:36.more, we deserved this win. It is really important to us but like we
:11:37. > :11:42.played in the second half, we believe in our work. The red card,
:11:43. > :11:47.in your eyes was it even a yellow? All of my people and my staff saw on
:11:48. > :11:52.the TV and said it was yellow card. I don't want to talk too much
:11:53. > :11:56.because I respect the job of the referee, not easy job. What is your
:11:57. > :12:02.overriding reaction after the game, frustration or anger? TRANSLATION:
:12:03. > :12:05.I'm very angry to give away three points could it was nearly
:12:06. > :12:12.impossible to lose this game and we lost it. One team did all the
:12:13. > :12:17.horrible stuff and the other team wanted to play it like it was Fifa.
:12:18. > :12:22.It wasn't fair on our funds are not in the business of apologising but
:12:23. > :12:28.it is a long old dig up there and we have a responsibility to be a lot
:12:29. > :12:31.better than that. I'm happy when I feel I club fighting together, the
:12:32. > :12:35.players and fans and all of the people working here. I don't know
:12:36. > :12:39.what happened in the end of the season but we will continue to fight
:12:40. > :12:45.to keep this club in Premier League. Strong words from Troy Deeney. When
:12:46. > :12:51.you are in trouble at the bottom, you need some fight and Hull had
:12:52. > :12:55.that in abundance. It comes on belief. Marco Silva has gone in and
:12:56. > :12:58.done a good job. The training must be very hard but he has simplified
:12:59. > :13:02.things for the team, they know they have to work hard and the belief is
:13:03. > :13:07.there in the players and you see it in the performances. And with ten
:13:08. > :13:14.men, let's clear up the red card. Niasse harshly done by? Very harsh.
:13:15. > :13:19.It was a lazy leg when he went in for the challenge but I did not see
:13:20. > :13:23.it as a red card. Bobby Madley is in a good position and I think Marco
:13:24. > :13:28.Silva is right, he understand the position referees are in but it is
:13:29. > :13:33.just a lazy leg but not out of control or reckless. I don't think
:13:34. > :13:39.it is a red card. The surprise on his face... He thinks he is getting
:13:40. > :13:44.a yellow and he is disappointed about that but when he sees the red
:13:45. > :13:49.he cannot believe it and I feel for him. But Hull showed tremendous
:13:50. > :13:55.resilience after that. He did catch him. There is a little tear on the
:13:56. > :14:01.sock. A little bit but it was not out of control or reckless. It was a
:14:02. > :14:05.lazy leg. And Marco Silva was equally exasperated by the decision
:14:06. > :14:12.and Hull will challenge the red card. And quite rightly they will
:14:13. > :14:16.challenge it. It will go to appeal. They eventually got the goals but
:14:17. > :14:19.the fella at the other end did a good job when called upon. We spoke
:14:20. > :14:23.about their character and they were under pressure in the first
:14:24. > :14:29.particularly from set pieces but Maguire and Ranocchia in front of
:14:30. > :14:33.Jakupovic did so well but he had to make two or three good saves at key
:14:34. > :14:38.times in the game when they were under pressure. That was a superb
:14:39. > :14:42.header from Sebastian Prodl and he sees it late and there is power in
:14:43. > :14:48.it and he has to react. This is a bit unorthodox, not conventional but
:14:49. > :14:52.he does enough in an awkward position to get something on it and
:14:53. > :14:53.clear it and that set them up for the second-half performance that we
:14:54. > :15:01.saw. In that second half, you picked out
:15:02. > :15:05.players that made a difference and it is all players Marco Silva has
:15:06. > :15:14.brought to the club with certain things in mind. Markovic and
:15:15. > :15:19.Grosicki affected the outcome of the game and Grosicki in particular, a
:15:20. > :15:24.player I have really liked. A big signing in January for 9 million
:15:25. > :15:28.from Rennes and I liked him at the euros the Poland, 49 caps, so
:15:29. > :15:34.signing an experienced player. But when you are down, you have to have
:15:35. > :15:38.a player who can run 50 or 60 odd and make unselfish runs for his
:15:39. > :15:41.team-mates to get into position to receive the ball and Grosicki has
:15:42. > :15:45.done that since he came into the Premier League. This isn't a great
:15:46. > :15:50.ball but Markovic makes something of nothing and wins a free kick. Here,
:15:51. > :15:54.he reads the ball ready well, prepared to drive forward without
:15:55. > :15:58.the ball and that is what they had. This is where the goals come from,
:15:59. > :16:02.Markovic and Grosicki right on the byline when the free kick comes in,
:16:03. > :16:07.cleared by Hull, but how quickly they turned defence into attack.
:16:08. > :16:12.That was the standout factor. Three against one, both running of the
:16:13. > :16:16.ball. That is the past, I feel, through the middle, but he picks out
:16:17. > :16:22.Grosicki out wide but what a cross that is. A beauty, isn't it?
:16:23. > :16:25.Absolutely beautiful and he has to follow it in, it is not over the
:16:26. > :16:31.line. You would appreciate that, Trevor, the cross. It is one of
:16:32. > :16:39.them, across which says "Finish the postcard. And in the sick sharp
:16:40. > :16:43.area, the goalkeeper cannot do that -- in the six yard area. This is
:16:44. > :16:47.new, go and finish it off. A nice piece of skill you want to
:16:48. > :16:52.highlight, the goal from Sam Clucas is all about technique, isn't it? If
:16:53. > :16:57.I am on the edge of the box, I am already thinking about this. Nice
:16:58. > :17:02.control, and that is a paintbrush finish. Uses his laces, controlled,
:17:03. > :17:08.beautiful timing. Slight deflection but no chance the goalkeeper can get
:17:09. > :17:14.anywhere near it. Harsh highlighting the deflection, that is a beauty. It
:17:15. > :17:18.is all so relaxed and control. Frank Lampard used to do this, make sure
:17:19. > :17:21.the first touch is perfect. If it doesn't caress that ball as he does,
:17:22. > :17:26.he couldn't finish it with comfort and he does that and reserve --
:17:27. > :17:31.deserves the rewards. And paintbrush goes into the football Lexicon.
:17:32. > :17:35.Watford are safe, was there a touch of them being on the beach? In the
:17:36. > :17:39.first half, they have possession and caused problems from set pieces but
:17:40. > :17:42.overall, not good enough. To keep the pressure on Hull, Swansea needed
:17:43. > :17:48.to put their recent dismal form behind them. Five defeats in six
:17:49. > :17:51.lead the man with his hands on a message to describe the visit of
:17:52. > :17:56.Stoke is the biggest game in years. John Roeder was there to see it.
:17:57. > :18:00.Paul Clement has set a target of three victories in the Swans'
:18:01. > :18:05.remaining five matches in order, in his words, to have a chance of
:18:06. > :18:09.staying up and avoiding relegation after six seasons of Premier League
:18:10. > :18:12.football at the Liberty. Lyon Britton makes his first appearance
:18:13. > :18:17.under Clement and his first since New Year's Eve. He says his
:18:18. > :18:20.experience will be invaluable today. Jordan Ayew comes in to provide
:18:21. > :18:25.threat down the wing. Tom Carroll and Stephen Kingsley are the other
:18:26. > :18:29.changes. Joe Allen has recovered from a hamstring problem and start
:18:30. > :18:34.against his former club. At first appearance in over a year for Jack
:18:35. > :18:39.Butland after a long-term ankle injury while Peter Crouch partners
:18:40. > :18:43.Saido Berahino upfront. Stoke in their change colours today of all
:18:44. > :18:47.sky-blue. Swansea hoping this guy doesn't fall in on them today.
:18:48. > :18:48.Defeat here would leave Swansea in all sorts of bother in the bottom
:18:49. > :19:02.three. Sigurdsson given space. Couldn't
:19:03. > :19:09.bring it down to get the shot on target. Encouraging signs for
:19:10. > :19:10.Swansea in the early exchanges. Eight goals for Gylfi Sigurdsson
:19:11. > :19:20.this season. Jordan Ayew on the chase, trying to
:19:21. > :19:25.get away from Erik Pieters. Ayew has it, pulled it back towards Shaw
:19:26. > :19:30.Cross. Was that handball? Swansea supporters howling for a penalty
:19:31. > :19:35.kick, but interestingly, none of the Swansea players were. Ayew with the
:19:36. > :19:38.ball in and away off the chest. Swansea have to be content with a
:19:39. > :19:42.corner, their first of the afternoon.
:19:43. > :19:51.Lorenzi! Swansea make the breakthrough. -- Fernando Llorente!
:19:52. > :19:58.Just the start that Paul Clement and this part of south Wales have been
:19:59. > :20:01.dreaming of. Swansea's first corner, Llorente in a bit of room and no one
:20:02. > :20:09.really tracks is run and able to tuck it pass Buckland and into the
:20:10. > :20:11.Stoke goal. Fernando Llorente gets his 12th goal of the season and how
:20:12. > :20:21.important a goal could that be? . I am sure Swansea fans will be
:20:22. > :20:26.looking frequently at the score from the KCOM today. What has Stoke got
:20:27. > :20:44.in a way of response? Support from Allen. Berahino! What a
:20:45. > :20:50.chance that was for Saido Berahino to get his first goal for Stoke
:20:51. > :20:55.City. The header here a long way off target from Berahino. Stoke have a
:20:56. > :21:00.real problem scoring goals away from home. They haven't scored away from
:21:01. > :21:02.home since mid-January, when they won at Sunderland. Over 500 minutes
:21:03. > :21:14.without a goal on their travels. Arnautovic... Swansea can't keep
:21:15. > :21:19.hold of it. Shaqiri. We know he can hit them. Not on this occasion,
:21:20. > :21:21.though. Four goals for Xherdan Shaqiri this season. Three of them
:21:22. > :21:33.have come against Hull. Slides it in towards Jordan Ayew. He
:21:34. > :21:37.has got Llorente in the middle. Ayew goes the goal and it was almost
:21:38. > :21:41.through the legs of Jack Butland. So close to a second goal, Swansea. And
:21:42. > :21:51.still the pressure is on the Stoke goal.
:21:52. > :21:57.Shaqiri fouled by Tom Carroll and that will be the first caution of
:21:58. > :22:03.the match. Tom Carroll is shown yellow. Jordan Ayew making the run
:22:04. > :22:09.here and you can see the angle is a tight one. Just off the leg of the
:22:10. > :22:14.Stoke goalkeeper. Last few seconds of this first half.
:22:15. > :22:22.It is towards Crouch. Berahino! Straight at Fabianski. Wonderful
:22:23. > :22:27.chance for Stoke to equalise just before the break and, indeed, that
:22:28. > :22:31.is the half time whistle. Crouch's header across and Berahino guiding
:22:32. > :22:32.it towards goal. Fabianski right behind it and Swansea preserve their
:22:33. > :22:49.lead at the break. Llorente. Trudged through to Jordan
:22:50. > :22:55.Ayew. Was he blocked in the penalty area by Pieters? Michael Oliver had
:22:56. > :22:57.a perfect view and says play on. You can see here the referee's position,
:22:58. > :23:16.unimpeded view of it. Little chip forward from Shaqiri
:23:17. > :23:23.towards Arnautovic. Shaqiri, can he stabbed it in? Michael Oliver says
:23:24. > :23:30.penalty. Stoke with the chance to draw level after an incisive move
:23:31. > :23:33.was brought to a close. Arnautovic looking for support, finding it here
:23:34. > :23:38.and the challenge just outside the six yard area from Hernandez was an
:23:39. > :23:49.illegal one. Marko Arnautovic against
:23:50. > :23:56.Fabianski... And he has put it over! Swansea fans celebrate as if they
:23:57. > :24:02.had scored. I, very high, from Marko Arnautovic. Desperately poor
:24:03. > :24:10.penalty. Stoke were handed a lifeline, Stoke's barren run away
:24:11. > :24:12.from home continues. It is over 570 minutes away from home since Stoke
:24:13. > :24:27.last scored in the Premier League. Tom Carroll Dreiser towards goal and
:24:28. > :24:33.scores! Swansea almost concede at one end, the penalty is sky Dover by
:24:34. > :24:49.Arnautovic and moments later, Tom Carroll doubles Swansea's lead --
:24:50. > :24:53.Row skied over. Jordan Ayew with the ball infield, Tom Carroll a long way
:24:54. > :24:58.out and it loops over Jack Butland into the top corner and it just
:24:59. > :25:02.takes a slight touch off Joe Allen, which was enough to take it away
:25:03. > :25:09.from Butland. It so easily could have been 1-1. It is now 2-0 and
:25:10. > :25:15.that is the reaction down in the Swansea technical area. Unbridled
:25:16. > :25:19.joy. What a couple of minutes of football. A couple of minutes that
:25:20. > :25:29.may very well come to define City's season. Britton. Ball through
:25:30. > :25:34.towards Carroll. Tom Carroll to finish it... Superb save from
:25:35. > :25:39.Butland. That shot was heading towards the top corner. The path to
:25:40. > :25:43.goal was unimpeded, but Butland in the way to stick out at hand and
:25:44. > :25:49.prevent a third Swansea goal. And it was so close. Just one point from
:25:50. > :25:52.their previous six fixtures for Swansea, but you wouldn't have
:25:53. > :25:55.guessed it from their performance today.
:25:56. > :26:02.Swansea look to play it out from the back. Ayew the only man forward at
:26:03. > :26:07.the moment in support. It is through towards Jordan Ayew, who is going to
:26:08. > :26:12.have to do it on his own. Tight angle, Butland right behind it.
:26:13. > :26:16.Swansea pressing so hard, looking for a third goal that might just put
:26:17. > :26:27.this match beyond Stoke. Comes off Kyle Naughton, Stoke
:26:28. > :26:33.corner. Just under two minutes plus stoppage time remaining.
:26:34. > :26:47.Allen sprinting into the penalty area. Over by Martins Indi. Doesn't
:26:48. > :26:51.score in what is looking like a defeat at the Liberty.
:26:52. > :26:58.After taking just one point from their previous six fixtures, Swansea
:26:59. > :27:07.take all three from this must win game. What a day for Swansea, they
:27:08. > :27:11.live to fight another day. Swansea to, Stoke zero. A massive win for us
:27:12. > :27:16.today, a lot of talk in the midweek was it was a must win game for us
:27:17. > :27:20.and a lot of pressure going into the match but the performance was good
:27:21. > :27:23.and two goals in a clean sheet, so we are very happy. Second half, we
:27:24. > :27:28.dominated possession and didn't have those clean cook opportunities but,
:27:29. > :27:33.clearly, from our point of view, the game has changed on the missing of
:27:34. > :27:36.the penalty. If that goes in, the game is changed and we miss it, they
:27:37. > :27:41.go up the field and get a deflected goal to make it 2-0. Difficult
:27:42. > :27:45.afternoon. I have been here a long time and I was happy to be out there
:27:46. > :27:49.today. I was happy to last 85 minutes, I got a little bit of cramp
:27:50. > :27:53.at the end but it has been difficult at the sidelines watching. I wanted
:27:54. > :27:55.to have an effect out there, which was pleasing.
:27:56. > :27:59.And after the match, we grabbed a word with the Swansea boss. Paul,
:28:00. > :28:10.congratulations, I know you call this the biggest game in years for
:28:11. > :28:12.the club. With that in mind, you must have been delighted with the
:28:13. > :28:15.way your players responded? Yes, very proud of the team today. I'm
:28:16. > :28:18.happy for our supporters as well, they have seen a struggle the last
:28:19. > :28:21.few games, picking up minimal points at a very crucial stage of the
:28:22. > :28:24.season. I believed it was a must win game today. The fact that Hull have
:28:25. > :28:27.won as well shows it was absolutely right, because of the Gap had gone
:28:28. > :28:31.to five points with four games to go, I think the task would have been
:28:32. > :28:35.very difficult. We played terrifically well today, especially
:28:36. > :28:38.in the first half. Rode our luck a little bit, especially with the
:28:39. > :28:42.missed penalty, but overall, I think we deserved to win and now we can
:28:43. > :28:47.move forward and look forward to our next game. What was your view on
:28:48. > :28:50.that mad minute, the penalty miss at one end, you go straight down the
:28:51. > :28:55.other end and within 60 seconds, Tom Carroll gets the decisive goal. That
:28:56. > :28:59.is what the margins are like at this level, sometimes they go for you,
:29:00. > :29:03.sometimes they go against you. Having looked back at the penalty,
:29:04. > :29:08.three or four different angles, I can't even see that it is a penalty
:29:09. > :29:12.or it is not, I don't know. But it was given, we got that little bit of
:29:13. > :29:16.luck and even for the goal, it was a fantastic strike by Tom but the
:29:17. > :29:20.little deflection off Joe Allen, it has gone right into the top corner
:29:21. > :29:24.so that gave us the breathing space at the end of the game. He said
:29:25. > :29:27.about Hull and the gap between yourselves and them. Do you follow
:29:28. > :29:32.their result during the game and how is that the you, do you keep
:29:33. > :29:37.up-to-date on the touchline? Not usually, but I knew at half-time
:29:38. > :29:41.that it was 0-0 and had gone a man down, so it is a terrific result for
:29:42. > :29:45.them but I did feel going into the game that it would be a game they
:29:46. > :29:49.would win. They obviously did it in more difficult circumstances. But we
:29:50. > :29:54.have to concentrate on doing our jobs, we have a massive game next
:29:55. > :29:57.week, we go up to Old Trafford and obviously a very difficult place to
:29:58. > :30:00.go and win a game but what I am pleased about is we actually put in
:30:01. > :30:04.a decent performance today. We haven't been doing that in recent
:30:05. > :30:08.games, so I am very happy. Have you thought about the number of points
:30:09. > :30:11.and number of wins you need from those last four games? I thought
:30:12. > :30:14.including the Stoke game, we would need three wins and a draw and I
:30:15. > :30:19.wasn't even sure that would be enough. It is all depending on how
:30:20. > :30:22.Hull do. They are in the driving seat but we will chase them down
:30:23. > :30:29.right to the very last moment. We wish you all the best. Thank you.
:30:30. > :30:38.Very honest saying he would watch the Hull results. Dealing with the
:30:39. > :30:42.key incidents, Fernando Llorente had some grief last week for not reading
:30:43. > :30:48.too much but if you're in the right place at the right time it doesn't
:30:49. > :30:51.matter. The market is zonal for Stoke and you can see it, Peter
:30:52. > :30:58.Crouch at the near post, Martins Indi and Shawcross at the far post
:30:59. > :31:03.and he is saying to stay in his space. Alfie Mawson makes a good run
:31:04. > :31:09.across and he gets sucked in and who don't you want it landing to? Great
:31:10. > :31:15.finish from Fernando Llorente, great execution, he doesn't need to sprint
:31:16. > :31:19.for that! And if there was some on the post they might have dealt with
:31:20. > :31:24.it but Jack Butland had no chance. When you have that kind of quality
:31:25. > :31:28.on the set pieces, Sigurdsson is the second-best in assists this year,
:31:29. > :31:33.you have to defend better than that. As Marcuse said, the match was gone
:31:34. > :31:41.in 60 seconds with the penalty miss -- Mark Hughes said. It was good
:31:42. > :31:45.defending to start with. The penalty, great linkup between
:31:46. > :31:50.Arnautovic and chicanery and I felt it was the right call from Michael
:31:51. > :31:55.Oliver. Fernandez should not make the challenge. He wanted to take it
:31:56. > :31:59.and I bet he wish he had because this was poor. He has to work
:32:00. > :32:05.Fabianski but doesn't it the target and a minute later, a good first
:32:06. > :32:08.touch and another deflection. You have to say that Tom Carroll was
:32:09. > :32:14.superb in the middle of the park with Leon Brittan. They were doing
:32:15. > :32:17.the ugly part as well as the glamorous parts and he was
:32:18. > :32:24.outstanding. The deceit Jack Butland back after being out for a long time
:32:25. > :32:27.-- good to see him back. He was playing very well at the time and
:32:28. > :32:34.has been out for a while and showed it a bit with a couple of rusty
:32:35. > :32:39.touches. Just a bit out of his feet more than he would like. This one
:32:40. > :32:45.takes with his left am not as confident as he should be. But his
:32:46. > :32:51.first game back and a year is a long time out. I see him at a solid
:32:52. > :32:57.goalkeeper, he does all the basics really well. He commands his area
:32:58. > :33:01.well. A couple of things will always be like that but that was a great
:33:02. > :33:07.save. That is what Stoke fans are used to seeing from him. Saying he
:33:08. > :33:13.is solid, I think he is better than that. Let's look at the fixtures for
:33:14. > :33:17.both teams. Paul Clement things they need another couple of wins and
:33:18. > :33:23.maybe a draw and if I ask you who is staying up who are you going for? On
:33:24. > :33:30.the fixtures, Swansea have the better running, but on the back of
:33:31. > :33:34.it, I think Hull have the momentum and they might stay up. I agree,
:33:35. > :33:39.they have the easier run in the belief in the manager at Hull could
:33:40. > :33:43.see them do it. We go to Bournemouth next where the visit of
:33:44. > :33:49.Middlesbrough was overshadowed by the death of Ugo Ehiogu who was
:33:50. > :33:53.their record signing years ago. COMMENTATOR: Fondly remembered on
:33:54. > :34:00.Deeside, Ugo Ehiogu enjoyed seven good years at the Riverside, winning
:34:01. > :34:04.the League Cup in 2004 but suddenly and rather shockingly the players
:34:05. > :34:08.are wearing black armbands and we are left remembering a life well
:34:09. > :34:14.lived that ended too soon. Dan Gosling comes back from a knee
:34:15. > :34:19.injury, timely given the absence of Jack Wilshere. Ryan Fraser is
:34:20. > :34:22.preferred to Junior Stanislas. Middlesbrough go with three at the
:34:23. > :34:28.back as Calum Chambers returns on a foot injury. George Friend starts
:34:29. > :34:34.with Fabio, who picked up a knee problem against Arsenal, on the
:34:35. > :34:39.bench. Bournemouth with a different perspective at the moment having got
:34:40. > :34:44.themselves into a position where they are at seven points above the
:34:45. > :34:49.relegation trapdoor as opposed to their opponents who need every point
:34:50. > :34:49.they can get and more at the moment. It looks decidedly bleak for
:34:50. > :34:55.Middlesbrough. Pugh goes away from Barragan as if
:34:56. > :35:13.he was not there. Cleared by Gibson. A bright start
:35:14. > :35:18.from Bournemouth in the sunshine. Going for the return and beautifully
:35:19. > :35:24.done and what a goal! Absolutely superb from Joshua King! Bournemouth
:35:25. > :35:32.ahead in just over a minute and a half. Short, sharp, crisp passing,
:35:33. > :35:38.the Middlesbrough players, like the crowd, left watching. Pugh and
:35:39. > :35:43.Daniels and the final touch from King and yet again he scores for
:35:44. > :35:49.Bournemouth and he has ten goals in his last 11 matches. King gives
:35:50. > :35:56.Bournemouth the lead after 96 seconds.
:35:57. > :36:06.That was a the interception by Friend and away, Middlesbrough with
:36:07. > :36:10.Negredo chasing. What handful he is, support from Ramirez blew goes down
:36:11. > :36:14.under pressure and the free kick goes to Bournemouth and Ramirez gets
:36:15. > :36:21.an earful from the Bournemouth defenders and he will get a booking
:36:22. > :36:25.as well when he lists his head up. It was Negredo causing the problems
:36:26. > :36:31.and the challenge from Francis and this will be a better angle. I don't
:36:32. > :36:41.think there can be too many complaints with the yellow card for
:36:42. > :36:49.that. Tidy turn from Pugh. Neat from Bournemouth, promising. Plenty of
:36:50. > :36:58.yellow shirts getting back now. Daniels against Barragan. He has got
:36:59. > :37:04.the beating of him and he almost found King again and that is a
:37:05. > :37:13.profitable route and it is Benik Afobe! 2-0! We are only 16 minutes
:37:14. > :37:18.into this game. Benik Afobe gifted an opportunity which he snaffles up
:37:19. > :37:24.and Middlesbrough are in a big hole early on the south coast. Charlie
:37:25. > :37:28.Daniels with the cross, only half cleared and it was sloppy from
:37:29. > :37:33.Middlesbrough and the deflection carried it through to Benik Afobe
:37:34. > :37:38.and he guided it past Brad Guzan. Benik Afobe with his sixth goal of
:37:39. > :37:51.the season. Here comes Alvaro Negredo! Goodness
:37:52. > :37:56.me, the power on that almost took Artur Boruc into the back of the net
:37:57. > :38:03.with the ball in his hand! He absolutely leathered that!
:38:04. > :38:14.Brad Guzan slices it horribly. Barragan did well to keep it in but
:38:15. > :38:19.he gave it away and the Middlesbrough defending is
:38:20. > :38:23.shambolic. It is King and it should have been three! Middlesbrough were
:38:24. > :38:28.so lucky to get away with that. Bournemouth attacking at will and
:38:29. > :38:34.carving open chances, few with the delightful flick and Joshua King
:38:35. > :38:39.spurned the opportunity to make it three inside 19 minutes. Plenty for
:38:40. > :38:45.Joe Jordan and Steve Agnew to discuss, not much for Mr Gibson to
:38:46. > :38:49.enjoy. Ramirez has done well here against Daniels. Good play by Gaston
:38:50. > :39:01.Ramirez. That will be a free kick for the
:39:02. > :39:05.challenge by Gaston Ramirez who has already been booked by the referee
:39:06. > :39:10.and it is a second yellow card and it goes from bad to worse for
:39:11. > :39:16.Middlesbrough! Inside the opening 20 minutes, 2-0 down and down to ten
:39:17. > :39:19.men. Ramirez was booked for simulation of the minutes ago inside
:39:20. > :39:27.the area and booked again for the challenge near the corner flag. They
:39:28. > :39:33.did not look to be a lot of contacts but it was a daft place to go diving
:39:34. > :39:39.in and give the Lepori the option. Two daft yellow cards in all honesty
:39:40. > :39:46.-- to give the referee the option. Middlesbrough supporters applauding
:39:47. > :39:52.around the ground, also encouraging the Bournemouth fans to join in. Ugo
:39:53. > :39:57.Ehiogu was 44 when he lost his life tragically early and now, after 44
:39:58. > :40:04.minutes, he is remembered once again by everybody in this stadium. It
:40:05. > :40:09.looks like every chance that Bournemouth will be enjoying Premier
:40:10. > :40:14.League football for another year. Smith got the better of George
:40:15. > :40:23.Friend and here is Fraser sending it in for Benik Afobe! A good save by
:40:24. > :40:28.Brad Guzan. Afobe denied what would be his second goal of the game.
:40:29. > :40:36.Eddie Howe's team looking for what would be their first win in five. It
:40:37. > :40:44.all breaks down for Middlesbrough and here comes Ryan Fraser for
:40:45. > :40:51.Bournemouth. Looking for Afobe, a vital interception by Calum Chambers
:40:52. > :40:55.for Middlesbrough. Again they don't get it away and now it could open up
:40:56. > :41:03.for Bournemouth once more! It is three this time! Marc Pugh. Only his
:41:04. > :41:07.second goal of the season but yet again Middlesbrough did not clear
:41:08. > :41:14.their lines and they were made to pay once more. They don't get rid of
:41:15. > :41:19.it. It was 3-0 to Bournemouth two seasons ago when they played each
:41:20. > :41:23.other in the Championship and it is 3-0 today. It does look as if one of
:41:24. > :41:31.the two will be back in the Championship next season. Fraser
:41:32. > :41:38.forward now, down goes Adam Smith for the free kick. What can they
:41:39. > :41:47.plunger up here? We are past the midpoint of the second half. Charlie
:41:48. > :41:53.Daniels still going and it is four! Charlie Daniels scores for the first
:41:54. > :41:57.time since the 3-3 draw with Arsenal at the turn of the year and it is
:41:58. > :42:01.turning into quite a party for Bournemouth against the ten men of
:42:02. > :42:06.Middlesbrough who are enduring a wretched afternoon. Charlie Daniels
:42:07. > :42:13.at the take evasive action as the defence closed in but got his shot
:42:14. > :42:17.away. A big win for Bournemouth, Middlesbrough's trip to the south
:42:18. > :42:21.coast is a thoroughly miserable one. Often when you have a player sent
:42:22. > :42:26.off that is the key point in the game in terms of the outcome. We
:42:27. > :42:29.were 2-0 down away from home and it becomes very difficult but we had to
:42:30. > :42:34.stay in the game and obviously with the sending of it has not helped us.
:42:35. > :42:38.When you have a yellow card you have to be very careful. We made an
:42:39. > :42:42.electric start and the first 20 minutes we were dominant and scored
:42:43. > :42:55.two good goals. There was a good feel about the team. The sending off
:42:56. > :42:59.almost had an adverse effect on us for a small period where we were a
:43:00. > :43:02.bit on cruise control and wanted to go for the throat in the second half
:43:03. > :43:05.and we did that and kept our discipline and won the game
:43:06. > :43:07.comfortable with. It is the most confident you have ever felt? I
:43:08. > :43:11.would say it is the best form of my career but I have to keep going, I
:43:12. > :43:14.just want to work hard and try to improve as a player and help my
:43:15. > :43:16.team-mates to climb the table. We have to beat Sunderland on
:43:17. > :43:19.Wednesday, it will be a tough fixture, a north-east derby but that
:43:20. > :43:24.is what we have to do and then move on. Let's have a look at this red
:43:25. > :43:30.card. You were sympathetic about Niasse but I'm not sure you will
:43:31. > :43:35.have the same rear moat -- the same emotions for Gaston Ramirez. No, the
:43:36. > :43:42.first one is ridiculous, I would not mind if he went over as Francis
:43:43. > :43:47.makes the challenge. Sorry, it is Cook. But that is ridiculous. He
:43:48. > :43:52.must be two or three metres past before he goes down and it is
:43:53. > :43:58.ridiculous and stupid. When you are on a yellow card, why go to ground?
:43:59. > :44:06.There is no way he should be doing it, there is very little contact on
:44:07. > :44:10.Ryan Fraser. But that is just ridiculous and he has given the
:44:11. > :44:15.referee a decision to make and that is it. I have no sympathy for him at
:44:16. > :44:20.all. There wasn't much contact but as Kevin said, it is the intent and
:44:21. > :44:24.recklessness of it having already been booked. Have some brains and
:44:25. > :44:27.stay on your feet. We know the stakes are high for Middlesbrough
:44:28. > :44:32.but they were struggling with 11 and a Steve Agnew said they were naive.
:44:33. > :44:36.He spoke about poor defending today and in the first few minutes, you
:44:37. > :44:40.have to see it through and Bournemouth were on top on the front
:44:41. > :44:46.foot. They have enough bodies back, five against two and two against two
:44:47. > :44:51.out wide and no real danger but the problem is when Charlie Daniels laid
:44:52. > :44:56.it back. He went inside and I felt that was the moment Clayton has to
:44:57. > :45:03.get tight and close. We can't allow Daniels to turn like this. It is a
:45:04. > :45:07.well worked goal but it is two minutes into the game and it should
:45:08. > :45:10.not be happening particularly when Bournemouth on the front foot and
:45:11. > :45:15.Middlesbrough are trying to see it through early on. This is the second
:45:16. > :45:20.goal, 16 minutes, eight against five and it is a training ground drill,
:45:21. > :45:24.get back in position. It is something I took a rank or worked on
:45:25. > :45:30.with his team, defending the Dolberg this is naive defending. -- Aitor
:45:31. > :45:34.Karanka worked on. Harry Arter does great to close down Clayton but it
:45:35. > :45:38.was poor and you are 2-0 down. They have not been scoring anyway.
:45:39. > :45:46.What on earth has happened to Josh King? 12 goals in 16 and before this
:45:47. > :45:51.season, 12 goals in his entire league career. That is the purple
:45:52. > :45:55.patch to beat all purple patches. It is tremendous from him. He came to
:45:56. > :46:00.Hull when I was there and I knew he had ability, real pace to burn. This
:46:01. > :46:04.is the sort of thing he is starting to do, making clever runs. He should
:46:05. > :46:08.do better there, but he gets himself in a great position. Chasing lost
:46:09. > :46:14.causes, he gets something from nothing here and that is what I have
:46:15. > :46:18.really liked about him. He looks fit, he looks confident and it is a
:46:19. > :46:27.good manager. Eddie Howe has been coaching him, it is good leadership
:46:28. > :46:29.from the manager and he is encouraging him to do these things.
:46:30. > :46:31.Listen, if it wasn't the Callum Wilson's injury, would he have got
:46:32. > :46:35.the opportunity? He has certainly taken his opportunity. He has scored
:46:36. > :46:40.the third most in the Premier League behind Lukaku and Harry Kane. Very
:46:41. > :47:07.impressive stuff. One more game to come for you and two tomorrow.
:47:08. > :47:12.And before that, you can enjoy the highlights of Chelsea - Spurs in the
:47:13. > :47:26.FA Cup semifinal on the website. It is a busy old Sunday and it
:47:27. > :47:38.starts with this... The London Marathon, tomorrow, 8:30
:47:39. > :48:00.a.m., live on BBC Two. Look too strong but Giggs is there
:48:01. > :48:03.and it is turned in by Robben van Persie! Rooney looks for van Persie.
:48:04. > :48:16.And van Persie thrashes it home. Van Persie in the centre. Giggs
:48:17. > :48:22.looks for him. Van Persie! Hat-trick! And a 20th English league
:48:23. > :48:26.title. Van Persie scored 26 league goals
:48:27. > :48:30.that season to top the scoring charts. This time around, they are
:48:31. > :48:34.led by Romelu Lukaku, who has 24 already and those goals have Everton
:48:35. > :48:38.looking good for Europe next season. They travel to West Ham side still
:48:39. > :48:41.looking the wrong way down the table.
:48:42. > :48:45.Jonathan Pearce was at the London stadium. Three more points will see
:48:46. > :48:50.West Ham saved, but Romelu Lukaku's presence is deeply concerning for
:48:51. > :48:53.them. He has scored in his last nine games against West Ham. Adrian gets
:48:54. > :49:06.his first league outing in five and a half months. Nordtveit his first
:49:07. > :49:14.start since January and Calleri his debut. Everton have dropped Joel
:49:15. > :49:20.Robles, they have not won away since January but have not lost to West
:49:21. > :49:25.Ham in eight visits. West Ham are patched up side, they have only won
:49:26. > :49:29.of their last 48 games against Everton so they come into this
:49:30. > :49:35.underdogs. Adrian didn't really want Lukaku coming down onto the ball and
:49:36. > :49:38.he just about got there. But as he got there, Adrian lifted his foot in
:49:39. > :49:43.the challenge and Mirallas had a quick word with the referee. Quite
:49:44. > :49:48.awkward for him, needed an extra touch. Watch his foot. Is that is
:49:49. > :49:52.not dangerous play? If he made contact with the Everton player, he
:49:53. > :49:56.could have been nastily injured. I can't remember the Premier League
:49:57. > :49:59.game that has reached the midway mark of the first half this season
:50:00. > :50:05.where there has not been an effort on goal by either side. If you are
:50:06. > :50:11.watching Match of the Day, I bet you haven't seen too many highlights of
:50:12. > :50:15.this game up until this point. Given away by Idrissa Gueye, got back and
:50:16. > :50:20.filed his man and will probably be cautioned for it. And quite rightly
:50:21. > :50:26.so. Sloppy, the pass, by Idrissa Gueye.
:50:27. > :50:33.And a caution for his pains. In comes the free kick. Good header.
:50:34. > :50:42.Aware of the danger, Phil Jagielka got it away. Idrissa Gueye's tenth
:50:43. > :50:48.yellow card of the season gave away the free kick. West Ham looked
:50:49. > :50:54.dangerous from it. Calleri is in the six yard area. Headed away by
:50:55. > :51:02.broccoli. Strike by Nordtveit, that was powerful, comes back to him and
:51:03. > :51:06.the deflection, which makes it more dangerous. The first one blocked by
:51:07. > :51:13.Davies, the second deflected by Calleri. West Ham are certainly
:51:14. > :51:19.missing Mark Noble, who has just passed 400 games for the club. An
:51:20. > :51:23.accumulation of yellow cards. Masuaku with good work around the
:51:24. > :51:34.outside. Important header away by Jagielka. Much better now, the game.
:51:35. > :51:37.Crossed in by Fernandes, off Davies. All I can think of is that on London
:51:38. > :51:41.Marathon weekend, they were pacing themselves in the opening half an
:51:42. > :51:44.hour, which was dreadful. Much brighter now.
:51:45. > :51:55.Lanzini will swing this away. It is loose on the edge. Winston Reid
:51:56. > :52:02.stretches forward. Lanzini again, lifts it in. Collins comes in.
:52:03. > :52:05.Aggressive header, thumps the ground. West Ham United the more
:52:06. > :52:11.dangerous side in the first period. Everton were truly dreadful, really.
:52:12. > :52:16.65% of the ball but they only had two touches inside the West Ham
:52:17. > :52:19.penalty box and they have made two substitutions at the break.
:52:20. > :52:30.Schneiderlin beaten to it by Masuaku. Real opportunity for West
:52:31. > :52:34.Ham. Fernandes, has he too much? Comes out to Lanzini. Brilliant,
:52:35. > :52:49.brilliant block. Jagielka flung himself at it so typically. And now
:52:50. > :52:53.the game is stretched. Hooray. Fernandes, a bright run by him,
:52:54. > :52:58.could have got a shot away on a couple occasions. It was blocked out
:52:59. > :52:59.and when the shop did come in by Lanzini, it was a terrific block by
:53:00. > :53:19.Jagielka. -- the shot did come in. Now Lanzini. The most positive
:53:20. > :53:24.individual run we have seen all day. Intelligent movement by Sakho to
:53:25. > :53:29.take the defenders out of the pack by Lanzini -- of Lanzini. Slaven
:53:30. > :53:35.Bilic will be by far the happier manager.
:53:36. > :53:41.Holgate's cross for Lukaku to attack. It nearly came through for
:53:42. > :53:47.Calvert-Lewin. The first meaningful ball hit into the West Ham box for
:53:48. > :53:54.Lukaku to attack in the entire game. Holgate. Lovely pass from a very
:53:55. > :53:57.promising player. Away for another corner. It will be so hard on West
:53:58. > :54:10.Ham if they lose it Baines left footed. Out by Lanzini.
:54:11. > :54:12.West Ham have stayed in deep. Baines with the cross, across the goal by
:54:13. > :54:23.Jagielka. Shirt pulled by Collins, look at
:54:24. > :54:25.that, nearly had the shirt off his back. Welsh international
:54:26. > :54:36.colleagues. Given away by Jagielka. Lanzini up
:54:37. > :54:40.towards Sakho. Blocked by Williams, who is claiming there was a hand
:54:41. > :54:44.there in controlling the ball. West Ham have a corner, they are
:54:45. > :54:47.finishing strongly. Two minutes to go, it is there a corner of the game
:54:48. > :54:59.in the 88th minute. It is aimed beyond the far post,
:55:00. > :55:04.Fonte's header down. Straight at the keeper and is that the last chance
:55:05. > :55:08.we will have? West Ham have created more chances, certainly and Everton,
:55:09. > :55:12.very disappointing day. If they are to finish in the top five, they have
:55:13. > :55:18.to be better than this. By far the better team today,
:55:19. > :55:23.weren't you? I agree and I'm very pleased with the performance. Were
:55:24. > :55:26.respecting a massive game, difficult game and all that comes with that
:55:27. > :55:33.but I told the guys after the game that it simply -- I simply couldn't
:55:34. > :55:37.have asked for more. How far below your normal performance was this
:55:38. > :55:45.today? Really far. From the first minute till the last second. I think
:55:46. > :55:51.we didn't bring that intensity from the start in the game. It was a
:55:52. > :55:58.really poor performance. We like to perform on the level what we can and
:55:59. > :56:03.today was far from that. We still might need a few points. We don't
:56:04. > :56:10.want to go into the last game with the radio on. We need wins to maybe
:56:11. > :56:15.get a chance to finish sixth or fifth at the end of the season, but
:56:16. > :56:21.one point, for sure, the performance of today doesn't bring their
:56:22. > :56:25.position in the table. In the nicest possible way, not a game to dwell on
:56:26. > :56:30.for too long. Another good showing from James Collins, but did he get
:56:31. > :56:34.away with one? I thought they defended really well, James Collins
:56:35. > :56:39.in the tree, Masuaku was good going forward. He did get away with one,
:56:40. > :56:43.he had hold of Ashley Williams' shirt for quite awhile, I couldn't
:56:44. > :56:47.understand why Roger East couldn't see it. We looked at the replays and
:56:48. > :56:50.Roger East was looking at the corner taker. What for, I don't know, but
:56:51. > :56:56.James Collins will be grateful he got away with it there. If Everton
:56:57. > :56:58.had scored, it would have been against the run of play because
:56:59. > :57:03.there was much more endeavour from West Ham. Ronald Koeman, in another
:57:04. > :57:07.interview afterwards, said if he could have changed ten players at
:57:08. > :57:10.half-time, he would have done. Everton were really poor, they
:57:11. > :57:14.didn't get going like they have over the last few months. They have done
:57:15. > :57:17.well this season but there is more to come. They are good for the
:57:18. > :57:22.Europa League. Let's see how all those games have affected the table.
:57:23. > :57:27.None of the title tenders in league action, so Chelsea are still four
:57:28. > :57:32.Point Clear. Everton nudge ahead of Arsenal but have played three games
:57:33. > :57:37.more. Middlesbrough's position looks very concerning, both teams above
:57:38. > :57:43.them won. Thank you, gentlemen, thank you for watching. That is it
:57:44. > :58:06.from us, we are all off to buy a paintbrush. Goodbye.
:58:07. > :58:12.# You've made it this far Don't leave it to chance
:58:13. > :58:16.# No holding back No half measures
