:00:16. > :00:22.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!

:00:23. > :00:36.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!

:00:37. > :00:40.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!

:00:41. > :00:46.Welcome one and all, eight Premier League games on the way.

:00:47. > :00:49.Joining me in the studio two former Cottagers,

:00:50. > :00:52.Danny Murphy and Mark Schwarzer, once team-mates at Fulham of course.

:00:53. > :00:57.After a 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Monday,

:00:58. > :01:01.Liverpool were back on home turf against a West Brom side who've won

:01:02. > :01:15.At the end of this fixture last season and Jurgen Klopp led a chorus

:01:16. > :01:18.line in front of the Kop after an injury time equaliser, he will not

:01:19. > :01:20.be celebrating if it is another draw today as he hopes to continue his

:01:21. > :01:28.team's recent lament. He makes one change to London,

:01:29. > :01:33.Monday's team, Daniel Sturridge drops to the bench, Wijnaldum is

:01:34. > :01:36.able to return to the squad but only as a substitute. West Brom who have

:01:37. > :01:40.drawn their last three matches and are without Jonny Evans through

:01:41. > :01:44.suspension have a staffer Jonas Olsson who scored in this fixture

:01:45. > :01:48.last season. Nacer Chadli hopes to add to his four goals in five

:01:49. > :01:55.Premier League games since signing from Spurs. West Brom have managed

:01:56. > :01:58.just nine goals in eight games in the Premier League so far. Theys

:01:59. > :02:05.Court 2 in this fixture last season to get a point and almost got all

:02:06. > :02:11.three. Neatly done by Lallana. Dummy from Coutinho finds Chamakh, who has

:02:12. > :02:25.Mane one and Firmino the other. Here is Firmino into Mane! -- Can. The

:02:26. > :02:30.first chance for Liverpool results in a goal. Created by Flamini and

:02:31. > :02:35.finished by Mane. For the first 20 minutes, West Brom restricted

:02:36. > :02:44.Liverpool. But then this move under Dem. Firmino had a look up.

:02:45. > :02:51.Beautifully flighted, which Nyom misjudged and Mane did the rest. And

:02:52. > :02:55.that will calm Liverpool down. There is the early first half goal he

:02:56. > :03:03.wanted. Already four in a Liverpool shirt. He's already needing a goal.

:03:04. > :03:14.Coutinho. What a pass from the Brazilian. Nathaniel Clyne. Still

:03:15. > :03:21.Clyne. Teasing ball. Emre Can sliding in. He was the closest to

:03:22. > :03:27.it. Lovely play from Clyne. What an inviting delivery. Both managers on

:03:28. > :03:33.their feet. There were a few words exchanged at Anfield in this fixture

:03:34. > :03:39.last season between these two. Things have not got heated just yet.

:03:40. > :03:43.Kept Foster on his toes. It wasn't straightforward for him and it has

:03:44. > :03:52.now fallen to Mane who has Coutinho in support. Coutinho...

:03:53. > :03:57.Fabulously finished. And West Brom punished.

:03:58. > :04:03.2-0, Liverpool. Fifth goal of the season for Philippe Coutinho. In

:04:04. > :04:11.fairness to Ben Foster it wasn't the easiest backpass to deal with. He

:04:12. > :04:15.sliced it on the volley. All a little untidy until it got to the

:04:16. > :04:20.feet of Coutinho, that was, and he drilled it past Foster at the near

:04:21. > :04:26.post. Interesting celebration, mind. Liverpool 2-0 West Brom.

:04:27. > :04:29.You just feel Liverpool are driving along and a road in second gear and

:04:30. > :04:34.if they suddenly need to get a third or fourth they can instantly as and

:04:35. > :04:39.when required. Chris Brunt, rare foray forward for West Brom.

:04:40. > :04:47.Dawson's Ross. Combination of Henderson and Milner got away. --

:04:48. > :04:51.Dawson's cross. Here come Liverpool with Mane. Morrison on the chase.

:04:52. > :04:59.Five forward with him. Coutinho demanding it and receiving it. Into

:05:00. > :05:05.Firmino. Desperate defending again from West Brom. Fantastic football

:05:06. > :05:09.from Liverpool once more. Henderson. WHISTLE

:05:10. > :05:14.Jordan Henderson was caught, it is a Liverpool free kick. This could have

:05:15. > :05:19.easily been number three. Good awareness from Mane. The same can be

:05:20. > :05:25.said here for Coutinho, just rolled it into Firmino. The block from

:05:26. > :05:31.McAuley. Coutinho is behind the Liverpool free kick. It was

:05:32. > :05:37.inviting. Terrific save from foster. Firmino's effort blocked. Ben Foster

:05:38. > :05:46.was at full stretch to deny Lovren there. Strong, powerful header.

:05:47. > :05:51.Equally strong hand to deny Lovren his second Premier League goal for

:05:52. > :05:56.Liverpool. What an early ball that is from

:05:57. > :06:01.Milner into Pettini on, who is onside and he has Firmino on the far

:06:02. > :06:06.side. The also Mane arriving and Can. The German's effort blocked by

:06:07. > :06:14.Olsson. They were queueing up there for Liverpool. Wonderful early ball

:06:15. > :06:18.from Milner to begin the move. Milner's won it back there.

:06:19. > :06:23.Coutinho. Milner.

:06:24. > :06:30.And again. Kept out by foster.

:06:31. > :06:38.Just watch James Milner here. He has a look the vision and perfection on

:06:39. > :06:42.the ball. Coutinho was almost spoilt for choice. I think he was looking

:06:43. > :06:46.for Mane and in the end it was Can on the stretch. All of this without

:06:47. > :06:51.Daniel Sturridge, 183 days since he last scored in the Premier League.

:06:52. > :06:57.He will want to get on in this one and try and put that record to bed.

:06:58. > :07:08.That is a file by Robson-Kanu by Milner. West Brom have a set play

:07:09. > :07:15.opportunity. Brunt's delivery. Karius misjudged it and was able to

:07:16. > :07:18.get in the way. Another set play opportunity because it was a corner

:07:19. > :07:25.after McAuley's header. Completely miss read by Karius. Liverpool has

:07:26. > :07:29.everybody back to defend this corner. Trying to see out

:07:30. > :07:34.back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since March. They might

:07:35. > :07:36.not do, and they won't do, it is McAuley and West Brom have a

:07:37. > :07:46.lifeline from nowhere with nine minutes to go. It was a set play

:07:47. > :07:50.Liverpool didn't deal with. McAuley reacted. And he really couldn't

:07:51. > :07:55.miss. His second Premier League goal of the season gives this game an

:07:56. > :08:02.unlikely scoreline of Liverpool 2-1 West Brom.

:08:03. > :08:13.Firmino to Coutinho. Mane. He is all alone. Mane will have to go solo.

:08:14. > :08:17.He's managed to find Wijnaldum who have the awareness to find Firmino.

:08:18. > :08:23.Ben Foster keeps West Brom in it. They could and should have been out

:08:24. > :08:24.of sight. But they did it by 2-1. How were

:08:25. > :08:42.when they scored? Good. They? Not good! Sorry! You are not excited

:08:43. > :08:46.then. Not so good. It was not clear. The plan was to avoid set pieces.

:08:47. > :08:51.Against Man United we did really well. Tonight we did really well but

:08:52. > :08:55.it's so difficult, these set pieces, they are role models for set pieces.

:08:56. > :09:01.Coming in the in the box, not too soft but not too hard, so it's not

:09:02. > :09:05.really good to defend. It felt like 15 West Brom players in the box. In

:09:06. > :09:09.a game like this do you find out things about your players you don't

:09:10. > :09:14.already know? No, they are an honest group of lads who work well

:09:15. > :09:19.together. We lack certain qualities that we are looking for and we will

:09:20. > :09:24.try and keep improving. I think the squad has improved. They have worked

:09:25. > :09:27.hard today, worked their socks off and we have got faults and we accept

:09:28. > :09:33.that and we have to get on with it. But effort and commitment, even the

:09:34. > :09:36.last couple of mistake going and trying. What is it like playing in

:09:37. > :09:40.such an exciting forward line that create so many chances like

:09:41. > :09:47.Liverpool do? I think because we know other and I think we make many

:09:48. > :09:50.movements between the lines, and finally we score goals.

:09:51. > :09:56.Six wins from nine, you must be satisfied with that as a foundation?

:09:57. > :10:02.The problem is, I don't know when I was last satisfied, maybe 2012 after

:10:03. > :10:04.I won the double, or we won the double at Dortmund and that was five

:10:05. > :10:08.seconds. Read into that what you will but not

:10:09. > :10:12.for the first time this season Liverpool were excellent and the

:10:13. > :10:16.star man was once again Philippe Coutinho, wasn't he? He was

:10:17. > :10:21.excellent. He was but I'm just excited now by the whole team. The

:10:22. > :10:22.balance, the creativity, the confidence, the rotation of

:10:23. > :10:56.positions is going so well, better than I

:10:57. > :10:59.expected and I think lots of the supporters as well. Coutinho really

:11:00. > :11:02.is the jewel in the Crown. He is special in so many ways and now he's

:11:03. > :11:04.adding the end product we have talked about. Four goals this

:11:05. > :11:07.season. He only got eight the whole of last season. He is coming deep

:11:08. > :11:10.and has a free role, he starts on the left and drifts in and gets the

:11:11. > :11:12.ball whenever he feels like it. Playing with confidence, his

:11:13. > :11:15.decision-making is much better than it has been before. He can spray the

:11:16. > :11:17.ball all over the place. His skill is brilliant. The awareness of

:11:18. > :11:19.people around him was fantastic, brilliant dummy, and that leads to

:11:20. > :11:21.the goal. What a move, this is Liverpool free-flowing. They have

:11:22. > :11:23.just found this formation and this team selection that really suits

:11:24. > :11:26.them. You've got storage sitting on the bench and they still are not

:11:27. > :11:29.struggling for goals. Grey finish from the left, we've seen him do

:11:30. > :11:31.this more and more. This is what I'm talking about, creativity, final

:11:32. > :11:34.pass, the hardest thing in football is to play people in in the final

:11:35. > :11:36.third and he is one of the best at it. He's dictating games, terrifying

:11:37. > :11:39.opposition, he starts this move, gets the ball back in the second,

:11:40. > :11:42.can he make the right choice again? Can he play someone in for a chance

:11:43. > :11:45.on goal? Yes, he keeps producing. OK, it is at home to West Brom, you

:11:46. > :11:48.would expect him to have lots of the ball but he's been like this all

:11:49. > :11:50.season and is getting help from people around him, another great

:11:51. > :11:55.chance and Emre Can should score. Great block. Long-range shooting,

:11:56. > :11:59.he's very good at this, doesn't quite get this one, but his

:12:00. > :12:02.performance today was magnificent and long may it continue. The only

:12:03. > :12:06.downside for Liverpool is another goal conceded from a set piece.

:12:07. > :12:10.There have been a few of those and they must work on that. It is one of

:12:11. > :12:14.the Achilles' heel is at this moment in time. Date sort of sit playing

:12:15. > :12:18.with zonal marking and that is one of their biggest problems. As a

:12:19. > :12:22.player I hated playing zonal marking, I always wanted man on man,

:12:23. > :12:26.a play on the post, Liverpool don't seem to have a player on the post

:12:27. > :12:33.and it makes it more difficult. For a goalkeeper you feel more exposed.

:12:34. > :12:37.He whips it in here and their best defender with heading the ball is

:12:38. > :12:41.out of the plate with one good ball, and what happens in the end is

:12:42. > :12:46.McAuley Adam Dawson on the edge of the box have a good run-up, and it

:12:47. > :12:51.is very difficult for Firmino and Lovren to compete. They get

:12:52. > :12:55.overloaded in the middle. In the end it is McAuley who gets some luck on

:12:56. > :12:59.his side and finishes it. As a goalkeeper you are in a position

:13:00. > :13:03.where you like man to man and people on the post but the manager likes to

:13:04. > :13:07.play a different way. Would you go to the manager and say, hang on,

:13:08. > :13:10.you've got to help me out, I don't like this way of playing, Audrey

:13:11. > :13:18.have to say he is the boss and in charge. Most players, and you might

:13:19. > :13:21.agree with me, they will ask you, the manager will come to you and say

:13:22. > :13:24.I like zonal marking, I don't want people on the post, I want someone

:13:25. > :13:29.in the hole and what do you want to do? More often than not, I will say

:13:30. > :13:32.OK, I'm not particularly happy, I'd rather have some of the other post

:13:33. > :13:36.and go man on man and then you have a discussion and if the manager is

:13:37. > :13:38.adamant that is what he wants to do that's it. He doesn't say it that

:13:39. > :13:41.nicely! LAUGHTER

:13:42. > :13:44.Here is something I never thought I'd say, Leicester have won more

:13:45. > :13:48.games in the Champions League this season than the Premier League.

:13:49. > :13:52.Opponents Crystal Palace saw their five-game unbeaten run ended by West

:13:53. > :13:55.Ham last week. Guy Mowbray was at the King Power Stadium.

:13:56. > :14:01.Getting the balance right between continuity and change is the

:14:02. > :14:05.Leicester challenge with such a busy schedule. Two changes as Marc

:14:06. > :14:09.Albrighton and Jamie Vardy get a breather on the bench, Shinji

:14:10. > :14:13.Okazaki and Ahmed Musa come in, the Nigerian Ahmed Musa has not fired in

:14:14. > :14:17.a Leicester shirt yet. Scott Dann is almost ready to return for Palace

:14:18. > :14:20.but not quite so Damien Delaney continues as captain. Today he's

:14:21. > :14:24.back at the club, his career in England kicked off with. Leicester

:14:25. > :14:28.signed him from Cork 16 years ago. Respects being paid to the late King

:14:29. > :14:32.of Thailand who has passed away after a 70 year reign, and with whom

:14:33. > :14:39.Leicester's Thai owners had a close bond. When Palace were last here

:14:40. > :14:46.they lost by just one goal. The goal scored by substitute today Jamie

:14:47. > :14:50.Vardy. Here is Okazaki. Mandanda holds up his hands and apologises.

:14:51. > :14:55.Okazaki might do the same to his Leicester team-mates now. Mandanda

:14:56. > :15:01.didn't look straight to Okazaki who had a bit longer to take a look

:15:02. > :15:05.himself. First Wayne Rooney, now Jamie Vardy. Star strikers having to

:15:06. > :15:14.take their places on the bench. It is an ever-changing game this.

:15:15. > :15:25.Huth, not helped by that lift of the ball by King. Townsend now. He's

:15:26. > :15:29.gone for goal. He was having to go through Simpson to have any chance.

:15:30. > :15:37.Kelly's cross against the frame of the ball from Benteke. This is a

:15:38. > :15:41.cracking cross from Martin Kelly, Espinoza specially with someone of

:15:42. > :15:48.Bentekent's aerial prowess waiting for it. Put it in the right place to

:15:49. > :15:51.Benteke. Alan Pardew said he wanted a response to their home defeat last

:15:52. > :15:59.week against West Ham. He's getting it. Great play by Drinkwater.

:16:00. > :16:04.Okazaki, now. Slimani. It's come to Christian Fuchs, now Danny

:16:05. > :16:15.Drinkwater. Mahrez waiting wide. Mahrez! Just over the top. Deflected

:16:16. > :16:27.over the bar by Okazaki. Mahrez sent Martin Kelly completely the wrong

:16:28. > :16:32.way. King. Musa. Slimani. Okazaki with a toe-poke, back to Slimani.

:16:33. > :16:40.Musa, chance to find Mahrez. Chance to shoot, chance to score! Ahmed

:16:41. > :16:44.Musa's first Leicester City goal. Boy, is he happy about it. A

:16:45. > :16:49.milestone for Musa and the lead for Leicester. It wasn't exactly a

:16:50. > :16:53.flowing move, but through sheer determination, with a toe-poke here

:16:54. > :16:58.or there, they managed to work the ball into the space and Musa had

:16:59. > :17:02.options. He could have played Mahrez in, but he realised with one shift

:17:03. > :17:04.to the right, the goal was within his sights. That's blasted home.

:17:05. > :17:17.Leicester City 1, Crystal Palace 0. Leicester City are halfway there,

:17:18. > :17:22.halfway towards making it 20 Premier League home games without defeat.

:17:23. > :17:29.Nobody's come here in the league and won since Arsenal scored five on the

:17:30. > :17:36.26th September last year. Mahrez cross. That's Slimani. It's just

:17:37. > :17:39.wide. It caught the side of the net on its way passed, which caused a

:17:40. > :17:44.few Leicester sides on the other side of the ground to start

:17:45. > :17:47.cheering. Alan Pardew with Gary Lineker on the Premier League Show

:17:48. > :17:52.midweek, it made fascinating viewing. Very animated when talking

:17:53. > :17:56.about Leicester's title triumph saying he loved it. All his players

:17:57. > :18:04.loved it. They all wanted Leicester - not today. Drinkwater, looking for

:18:05. > :18:11.Slimani. It's come to Okazaki. There was some feeling in that finish, and

:18:12. > :18:18.the celebration. It's his first goal in 14 Premier League appearances.

:18:19. > :18:22.Michael Oliver deserves a bit of the credit there. Musa was fouled, he

:18:23. > :18:27.realised Drinkwater was running away. Clearly signals advantage. The

:18:28. > :18:32.didn't Leicester take full advantage? The few changes made by

:18:33. > :18:36.Claudio Ranieri seemed to have worked all right. Musa into the

:18:37. > :18:51.team, Okazaki into the team - both onto the scoresheet. Cabaye.

:18:52. > :18:56.Benteke. Down to Ledley McArthur, finds Zaha. He can't beat

:18:57. > :19:01.Schmeichel. Guarding that near-post. Well-worked by Palace. Zaha just had

:19:02. > :19:07.to check himself as he received the ball from McArthur. Palace have

:19:08. > :19:13.definitely stepped up the urgency level, but then they had to.

:19:14. > :19:21.Drinkwater. Here's Campbell. He's added a little bit of energy to the

:19:22. > :19:24.Crystal Palace front-line. Zaha. Got to beat two. He managed it. Cabaye,

:19:25. > :19:30.he will get another chance. Schmeichel saves. In the right place

:19:31. > :19:37.to block everything. Clinging on to the chance of that fourth successive

:19:38. > :19:42.home clean sheet. Okazaki. Came in quickly on McArthur. Vardy, in space

:19:43. > :19:58.to the left. Drinkwater has seen him. It's Vardy. And Musa got to it.

:19:59. > :20:03.He plays it Fryers who was expecting it to run out of play. Leicester

:20:04. > :20:11.corner. Mahrez corner. Benteke. There's Christian Fuchs! This is the

:20:12. > :20:15.day Leicester supporters have been waiting for that. You just somehow

:20:16. > :20:22.knew that when Christian Fuchs finally scored his fist goal for the

:20:23. > :20:28.club, it would be a belter! On the volley, no chance for Mandanda. What

:20:29. > :20:30.a goal from Christian Fuchs to make absolutely sure of the three points

:20:31. > :20:43.for Leicester City. Zaha who has it through to Benteke.

:20:44. > :20:50.Benteke, with a chance for Palace. He never looked convinced that he

:20:51. > :20:54.was going to take it. That's Palace' day summed up. Benteke has three

:20:55. > :21:05.looks up to see where Schmeichel is and played it into that exact spot.

:21:06. > :21:10.Zaha. There's Cabaye. Palace have one. You wouldn't have thought there

:21:11. > :21:15.was enough time for that one to be followed by two or three, but it

:21:16. > :21:18.does just give a little bit of encouragement to the Palace

:21:19. > :21:22.supporters, some of whom have stopped heading down the steps for

:21:23. > :21:26.the exit. Cushioned into the goal by Yohan Cabaye. Well, there is a surge

:21:27. > :21:36.of confidence from the team in yellow now. . Here's Zaha. Fuchs

:21:37. > :21:41.slipped and got in his way. Zaha. Campbell finds his effort blocked.

:21:42. > :21:44.Mikel furious with his defenders. If Crystal Palace were to get another

:21:45. > :21:53.quickly this really might be on for them. -- Schmeichel. It might be

:21:54. > :21:59.another chance for Leicester. Vardy is on to that. Mahrez is in.

:22:00. > :22:05.Mandanda has blocked it. This should have been 4-1 to Leicester City.

:22:06. > :22:09.Leicester City's home run goes on and on. In the end what Leicester

:22:10. > :22:15.fans will take away most from this is that they were there when

:22:16. > :22:19.Christian Fuchs fired in a belter. Leicester City 3, Crystal Palace 1.

:22:20. > :22:25.How do you feel after that result? I feel good. I feel good. Of course,

:22:26. > :22:33.the first 20 minutes I felt not so good. But after that moment we start

:22:34. > :22:39.to play our football. To press, to play so fast, so quickly. I enjoy a

:22:40. > :22:44.lot. We deserve to win today against a very good team. We were OK today,

:22:45. > :22:48.but they were still a good side. You have to understand that. Their pace

:22:49. > :22:51.and their power unsettles you and opens you up at times when you least

:22:52. > :22:56.expect it. It was enough for them to win today. They told me, if I scored

:22:57. > :22:59.I should make it a woodser. What were your thoughts when you saw it

:23:00. > :23:04.coming towards you. Did your eyes lit up? Hit it as hard as I can and

:23:05. > :23:09.hopefully hit the goal. When it was in, then it was pure emotion. Last

:23:10. > :23:12.season against Crystal Palace there was pizza for the players. Will you

:23:13. > :23:17.share thatened woerful birthday cake with them this year? Yes. We have a

:23:18. > :23:20.cake in the dressing room. I said I wanted a clean sheet. At the end, in

:23:21. > :23:25.the dressing room, I said - you don't want pizza, it's OK, I get my

:23:26. > :23:31.money and I'll spend money. Thank you. Have his cake and eat it too.

:23:32. > :23:36.Thank you for sending it us to. Happy birthday. Great victory. You

:23:37. > :23:45.were part of Leicester's squad last season. Talk about missing Kante.

:23:46. > :23:50.The one player who hasn't featured was Okazaki. It has been

:23:51. > :23:54.underestimated how important he is to the side. Today they were more

:23:55. > :23:58.like last season, which Shinji Okazaki in the side. He covered

:23:59. > :24:03.today more distance than anyone else on the pitch. More sprinters as

:24:04. > :24:08.well. One kilometer, travelled one kilometer more than Vardy or Slimani

:24:09. > :24:11.any game this season so far. It's underestimated how much work he does

:24:12. > :24:15.for the side. He has been quite brilliant today I thought. Aftering

:24:16. > :24:22.about out for such a long period of time. Today, his actions on the

:24:23. > :24:25.pitch. He drops deep. Helps out his backline and midfield. Basically,

:24:26. > :24:29.what he does is, he helps them out so they don't have to come out of

:24:30. > :24:32.position so much. He engages the fist time with Crystal Palace

:24:33. > :24:37.midfield and forces them them wide. Forces them to go around him. He's

:24:38. > :24:42.never any moving around the pitch. He is closing players down. He is

:24:43. > :24:45.passing on players. Again, he's putting pressure on them. The minute

:24:46. > :24:48.the ball goes into the feet of a Crystal Palace player he is putting

:24:49. > :24:52.pressure on. In the end, Cabaye doesn't know what to do with him he

:24:53. > :24:55.ends up knocking the ball long. At the other end, this is what her's

:24:56. > :24:59.there for. It didn't work out for him. He has that quality as well. He

:25:00. > :25:02.is coming short. Always looking to link up with his team-mates. Doesn't

:25:03. > :25:08.get it this time. Moves into the box. He is unlucky in this instance

:25:09. > :25:14.after Mahrez' shot on goal. This one, he throws himself in. Not many

:25:15. > :25:22.people would do that. He has that determination. Musa scores a very

:25:23. > :25:26.good goal. You can see him again. He's grafting, fighting for every

:25:27. > :25:31.ball. In a side like Leicester, who this season have struggled at times,

:25:32. > :25:36.he has been invaluable. For all his hard work, he still gets forward.

:25:37. > :25:40.Against all the odds wins the second ball, he is the first one to it and

:25:41. > :25:45.finishes it really well. Cracking afternoon. My son's favourite

:25:46. > :25:50.player. He loves him. Midfielder's dream that type of player. Certainly

:25:51. > :25:54.is. Palace a couple of defeats in in a row after a good run. They are a

:25:55. > :25:58.steady side? They had bad luck. The Benteke chance hit the bar early on.

:25:59. > :26:02.That could have changed things. Missing Scott Dann, their best

:26:03. > :26:05.defender. Puncheon is missing. He calms things down for them. When

:26:06. > :26:27.they come back they will be OK. COMMENTATOR: He can't get on the end

:26:28. > :26:31.of it. What Payet gets the shot in. Oh, the woodwork. Fantastic block on

:26:32. > :26:39.the line. Sigurdsson! All seven of Burnley's points this

:26:40. > :26:43.season have been won at Turf Moor. They faced an Everton side without

:26:44. > :27:02.a win in their last three matches. Defoe is missing today for Burnley.

:27:03. > :27:06.Arfield steps in Ronald Koeman made his point by leaving Barkley out of

:27:07. > :27:13.Everton's starting line-up last weekend. He is back in today along

:27:14. > :27:21.with Mirallas, Cleverley and Deulofeu make way. Everton quietly

:27:22. > :27:28.impressive under Ronald Koeman so far this season. Four points off the

:27:29. > :27:37.top of the table. Marney gets the ball away. Everton now striding

:27:38. > :27:41.forward with Bolasie. Oh, a defensive mixup here. Mirallas.

:27:42. > :27:44.Saved by Heaton. What a lucky escape there for Burnley in the first

:27:45. > :27:50.couple of minutes in the match. Hesitancy in the heart of the

:27:51. > :27:56.defence. Bolasie scuffing the ball. The clearance totally miscued.

:27:57. > :28:02.Heaton called into early action. Bolasie backing away with Lukaku.

:28:03. > :28:09.This is Bolasie. Taking on Ward. Bolasie still going here. Good play

:28:10. > :28:14.by Yannick Bolasie. A block made by Ben Mee. Burnley pinned back inside

:28:15. > :28:18.their own penalty area. Mirallas, tightly-controlled. Barkley, alarm

:28:19. > :28:26.bells ringing at the back here for Burnley. Good save. Pushed away by

:28:27. > :28:30.the gloves of Tom Heaton. There has been an intensity about the way Ross

:28:31. > :28:35.Barkley has played in this quarter of an hour or so. He brings a good

:28:36. > :28:43.save from the Burnley keeper hear. Ronald Koeman, whose team have

:28:44. > :28:49.conceded six league goals in eight games in the league. Tottenham have

:28:50. > :28:53.conceded fewer. Playing second fiddle here at times. A great desire

:28:54. > :28:56.about the way Burnley are approaching this half, the longer it

:28:57. > :29:03.goes on. Ben Mee, here's Dean Marney.

:29:04. > :29:07.Looking for Gudmundsson, lovely touch, beautifully taken by Scott

:29:08. > :29:14.Arfield, Burnley striding forward, and Arfield... Vokes is there!

:29:15. > :29:18.Arfield's shot had the sting taken out of it but in the end it fell to

:29:19. > :29:25.Sam Vokes and he gives Burnley the lead. This was a fantastic touch

:29:26. > :29:29.from Gudmundsson. Scott Arfield does really well here and Stekelenburg

:29:30. > :29:36.could only poke the ball with his palm into Vokes's Path. Watch the

:29:37. > :29:42.number nine who could hardly miss. Burnley lead Everton 1-0.

:29:43. > :29:46.Hoping to start the second half in a similar manner to the first,

:29:47. > :29:54.Everton. They were dominant in the early going. Yannick Bolasie. He

:29:55. > :30:00.hasn't been firing quite at his best so far. That is a decent ball but

:30:01. > :30:06.headed behind by Matt Lutton. First corner of the second half for

:30:07. > :30:16.Everton. -- Matt Lowe to an. Out by Mirallas, backed by Ross Barkley,

:30:17. > :30:20.saved by Heaton. The 1-1 draw with Tottenham was his last goal. He hit

:30:21. > :30:27.this firmly enough. Under pressure here from Lukaku. Hayton wisely gets

:30:28. > :30:34.rid of that without hanging around. On by Ross Barkley, foreword by

:30:35. > :30:43.Idris Elba a. Can't quite get on the end of it. Everton knocking on the

:30:44. > :30:54.door looking for an equaliser. -- Gueye. It was just out of reach for

:30:55. > :30:59.Lukaku. Bolasie. The touch by Gareth Barry but he's given it away.

:31:00. > :31:05.Arfield cannot pick it up, collected by Barry, he's done well finding

:31:06. > :31:09.Romelu Lukaku, Bolasie takes it off him, it is Bolasie! Burnley 1-1

:31:10. > :31:13.Everton. Yannick Bolasie with his first goal for the club following

:31:14. > :31:21.his big-money move from Crystal Palace in the summer. Everton are

:31:22. > :31:29.right back in the game. Burnley conceding possession. Ben Mee taken

:31:30. > :31:32.out of the game. Bolasie took it over and nudged Lukaku out of the

:31:33. > :31:36.way, and having done that he had to make sure that the finished product

:31:37. > :31:44.was a good one. Lukaku was about to run in on goal and Bolasie said, no,

:31:45. > :31:50.I'm having that, and that's why. I get the feeling more the plate is

:31:51. > :31:54.going to be in Burnley's part of the field than Everton's. Going like a

:31:55. > :32:02.train, and it was nearly at the feet of Romelu Lukaku again. Keane puts

:32:03. > :32:05.it behind. Everton almost in for a second goal here. Coleman powering

:32:06. > :32:17.forward and Keane with a vital touch. Jagielka.

:32:18. > :32:27.Ross Barkley's ball out wide. Yannick Bolasie with the ball in

:32:28. > :32:30.towards Lukaku. Vital touch from Tom Heaton to take it away from the

:32:31. > :32:34.Everton striker who surely would have scored. Back in it comes once

:32:35. > :32:40.more from Seamus Coleman and Stephen Ward puts it out of play. Bolasie,

:32:41. > :32:44.scorer of the equaliser, causing problems here. Vital fingertip save

:32:45. > :32:58.from Heaton. Bolasie. He holds off one, holds off

:32:59. > :33:06.to Mecca, can't find Lukaku. This is Bryan Oviedo now. Bolasie gets a

:33:07. > :33:11.little bit of space. Goes full glory. Fingertip save. The pressure

:33:12. > :33:15.is on Tom Heaton the longer this game goes on. Headed away by

:33:16. > :33:28.Jagielka. Are they going to have a late winner

:33:29. > :33:37.here? At the moment it's looking like a hard earned point. The

:33:38. > :33:45.delivery, headed on, towards Michael Keane. Could be a chance. It smacks

:33:46. > :33:48.against the bar and Arfield's Dunnett! Scott Arfield for Burnley

:33:49. > :33:55.in the last few seconds of the 90 minutes. On the infant and not much

:33:56. > :34:01.time for Everton to do anything about it. Throughout the second half

:34:02. > :34:09.Everton were looking like the more likely to score a second goal.

:34:10. > :34:13.Maarten Stekelenburg's nothing to do in the second half. He was beaten by

:34:14. > :34:18.the shot and the follow up by Arfield. The initial one from

:34:19. > :34:21.Gudmundsson rattling against the crossbar, and Scott Arfield puts

:34:22. > :34:25.Burnley in front with the match almost over.

:34:26. > :34:35.How do you make sense of that? Dramatic finish? There is still a

:34:36. > :34:41.little boy inside you that wish is that when you do it in front of

:34:42. > :34:45.20,000 it becomes more important. It is hard to take, because sometimes

:34:46. > :34:52.football can be so unfair that has happened today. One shot in the

:34:53. > :34:56.second half and 2-1. We did not deserve to lose. We did so many good

:34:57. > :35:05.things but finally the result is not what we want and it is hard to take

:35:06. > :35:08.it. Earlier on I spoke to the Burnley manager Sean Dyche.

:35:09. > :35:13.In your last home game you suffered from a late winner at Arsenal and

:35:14. > :35:17.this time it was your turn. Slightly different emotions, I suspect.

:35:18. > :35:20.Certainly, the one against Arsenal was a real sickener and I thought we

:35:21. > :35:23.had put on a good performance worthy of getting something from the game

:35:24. > :35:29.and a draw would have been fair on the day. Today was a different day,

:35:30. > :35:32.good performance overall. Very authentic performance from us. We

:35:33. > :35:35.went away from what we are good at at Southampton last week and we had

:35:36. > :35:40.to remind the players we are doing the basics here, we're not kidding

:35:41. > :35:43.everyone thinking we will roll the ball around Premier League stadiums

:35:44. > :35:48.and win every week, we know we have to work for everything we get and

:35:49. > :35:51.that was on show today. Two moments of real quality, I must say, the

:35:52. > :35:54.first goal the build-up play was excellent and a lucky break at the

:35:55. > :35:58.end of it but the build-up was good. The second goal, different type of

:35:59. > :36:01.goal, fantastic strike from Gudmundsson, and I must say a

:36:02. > :36:05.fantastic finish from Scott Arfield because they are awkward when they

:36:06. > :36:08.are bobbling. That is three wins now. What have you learned from

:36:09. > :36:13.perhaps having been through this experience two years ago. What have

:36:14. > :36:16.you learned from what happened last time in the Premier League?

:36:17. > :36:20.I have learned that it costs a lot of money to get players. I have

:36:21. > :36:25.learned that, that's for sure. There was a lot made of me playing 4-4-

:36:26. > :36:29.two and playing the same team etc. It's not that I prefer any system,

:36:30. > :36:33.the system that works is the one you prefer. I think if you have two

:36:34. > :36:37.strike as it is trouble for teens, especially in the Premier League

:36:38. > :36:42.because not many play with two strikers and we've been pushed a

:36:43. > :36:46.little bit into playing with the five in midfield. I think that has

:36:47. > :36:49.suited as well, we've done well but that with the Andre Gray situation

:36:50. > :36:52.but he comes back next week and he will have to fight for his shirt.

:36:53. > :36:55.We've shown a different way of playing that can be productive,

:36:56. > :36:59.hasn't always gone well away from home. We have to learn as a staff

:37:00. > :37:04.and I am still a young manager earning my Spurs. I'm hopeful of

:37:05. > :37:06.what I can achieve with this group and beyond.

:37:07. > :37:11.Thank you for joining us. We wish you well for the rest of the season.

:37:12. > :37:17.A lot of things went into that victory, albeit with a little bit of

:37:18. > :37:21.fortune. Having you here, Mark, is a great opportunity for one of their

:37:22. > :37:29.most consistent performers, their goalkeeper Tom Heaton. He made good

:37:30. > :37:35.saves throughout the game. He was also very busy. You would expect

:37:36. > :37:39.that at Burnley. He is their leader and the captain of the side. Second

:37:40. > :37:43.season in the Premier League and gained a lot of experience and

:37:44. > :37:49.growing in confidence from his first experience. I think now Burnley are

:37:50. > :37:54.reaping rewards. It is important for them that he plays well to have any

:37:55. > :38:03.chance of staying in the Premier League. His main strengths? He is

:38:04. > :38:10.calm, probably the most improved goalkeeper in the Premier League

:38:11. > :38:14.this season. Growing in confidence. You can see a couple of stats. He's

:38:15. > :38:18.obviously been busy and made a couple of saves the season, more

:38:19. > :38:25.than anybody else. Another star for Burnley was Gudmundsson who we saw

:38:26. > :38:30.to our cost playing for Iceland in the summer against England. He was

:38:31. > :38:36.taken at Charlton and he was well thought of there. Good left foot. He

:38:37. > :38:39.did not start the season, earned his place this season. He plays on the

:38:40. > :38:43.right-hand side, difficult to mark when you have a left footer on the

:38:44. > :38:48.right. Positive early in the game, confident on the board. This was the

:38:49. > :38:52.little flick, for the build-up for the first goal. When you see a

:38:53. > :38:55.player doing this type of thing you think this lad has something. He has

:38:56. > :39:00.not played at this level before but it didn't faze him. Always demanding

:39:01. > :39:04.the ball. Although they were under the cosh for long periods he dug in

:39:05. > :39:08.and try to get back to help his team, which Burnley have to do,

:39:09. > :39:14.they'll have to put in a shift, of course. Watch this for a strike to

:39:15. > :39:17.help get them up. Great technique and a brilliant finish. He stood out

:39:18. > :39:21.for me and he is not somebody I've seen much of. If you have not played

:39:22. > :39:24.at this level and you see somebody with that confidence, he's only

:39:25. > :39:29.going to get better. Everton, after a cracking start to

:39:30. > :39:33.the season, four games without a win and Koeman thought they were unlucky

:39:34. > :39:38.having dominated in large parts but it is concerning after such a good

:39:39. > :39:41.start. It is but most coaches look at performance. The performance was

:39:42. > :39:44.much better today than it has been in recent weeks. For example, at

:39:45. > :39:49.Bournemouth, if they keep playing like they did today they will be

:39:50. > :39:53.fine, lots of pace and creativity and they were unlucky today. Hull

:39:54. > :39:57.City were looking to end a run of four defeats during which time they

:39:58. > :40:03.conceded 17 goals. They faced eight Stoke side who have secured their

:40:04. > :40:04.first win week against Sunderland. Martin Fisher was at the KCOM

:40:05. > :40:08.Stadium. COMMENTATOR: In desperate need of

:40:09. > :40:11.tightening up at the back Michael Dawson makes a timely return for

:40:12. > :40:15.Hull City today after suffering a knee injury in the summer. With Andy

:40:16. > :40:19.Robertson ruled out for eight weeks Sam Clucas drops in at left-back,

:40:20. > :40:25.experienced duo Tom Huddlestone and David Myler are recalled. Stoke City

:40:26. > :40:29.stick to the side that overcame Sunderland, Joe Allen looking to

:40:30. > :40:34.extend his surprising goal spree. Four goals in his last three games,

:40:35. > :40:40.he is responsible for more than half of the team's goals so far this

:40:41. > :40:45.season. Last week's 6-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium was Hull's

:40:46. > :40:50.heaviest in the top flight for seven years. 6-1 at Liverpool in September

:40:51. > :40:55.2009. The following game after that they came here and beat Wigan 2-1.

:40:56. > :41:03.They will be looking for something similar this afternoon. David Myler.

:41:04. > :41:07.Elmohamady wants it to his right. Pieters was caught. Elmohamady Buzz

:41:08. > :41:13.is blocked by Cameron. 30 minutes gone, neither goalkeeper yet forced

:41:14. > :41:22.into action. Hull trying to test Grant. They have won corner. It came

:41:23. > :41:26.off Geoff Cameron. Dawson in the box, Davies is there as well,

:41:27. > :41:42.Snodgrass with the inswinger. Appeals for handball as it was ping

:41:43. > :41:47.ponging around. It struck the arm of Shawcross but are the arms in an

:41:48. > :41:50.unnatural position? Hull City started the day at a point above

:41:51. > :41:53.Stoke City end of the visitors win today they will climb out of the

:41:54. > :42:01.bottom three and above Hull City in the process. Here is Mason finding a

:42:02. > :42:06.cross. Keane's head. A long time to come, midway through the half

:42:07. > :42:10.command Hull have fashioned their first realistic opportunity and Ryan

:42:11. > :42:13.Mason deserves all of the plaudits. Elmohamady to bring it clear for

:42:14. > :42:20.Hull. In danger of losing that and he has, stopped by Pieters. This is

:42:21. > :42:25.Shaqiri. Bony. Long way out, deflection off Davis. For a second

:42:26. > :42:29.it looked like it might make life difficult for David Marshall but

:42:30. > :42:34.instead it is over for a corner. Bony and Arnautovic in the six yard

:42:35. > :42:40.box, others looking to attack it. Bony couldn't quite get up, Marshall

:42:41. > :42:45.got a punch to it. Shawcross. That is a lovely ball, good vision, good

:42:46. > :42:54.execution. Shaqiri. Good effort! What a goal! What a goal Xherdan

:42:55. > :42:57.Shaqiri. You do not keep those out. The Swiss where's the smile, Stoke

:42:58. > :43:04.City have the lead, and it's an absolute cracker. Full credit to

:43:05. > :43:07.Shawcross for keeping the move alive and then Shaqiri takes over and you

:43:08. > :43:13.do not let him shoot with his left foot, however far out he is. Stoke

:43:14. > :43:20.find some quality, and its top drawer quality. Hull City 0-1 Stoke

:43:21. > :43:25.City. Mike Phelan without a win since he was named Manager of the

:43:26. > :43:29.Month for August. He started with the successive victories against

:43:30. > :43:38.Leicester City and Swansea. But since then it has been all downhill.

:43:39. > :43:43.Shaqiri has picked out Arnautovic! What a ball from Shaqiri. And

:43:44. > :43:50.Arnautovic, the expression on his face, is very revealing. He feels he

:43:51. > :43:54.should have scored here. Now Allen has two to aim for. This is Shaqiri,

:43:55. > :43:59.can he move it to his right to Bony, only with a chance for his first

:44:00. > :44:01.goal for Stoke and it is that Mandelson with a magnificent

:44:02. > :44:08.challenge, that's why it's so important he is back in the team.

:44:09. > :44:11.That is brilliant. -- batsman Dawson. Must be feeling in the

:44:12. > :44:15.dressing room that a second goal would win the game for them. That

:44:16. > :44:24.was sure from Davies, Allen might steal it for Stoke. Shaqiri goes

:44:25. > :44:27.down under Davies' challenge. Free kick. Hull got themselves into a bit

:44:28. > :44:31.of a tangle outside their penalty area and could not clear their

:44:32. > :44:33.lines. Shaqiri might well fancy this.

:44:34. > :44:44.It will be Shaqiri. It's 2-0. Well not quite of the quality of his

:44:45. > :44:51.first-strike, that was magnificent. It's not a bad follow-up. It might

:44:52. > :44:56.be enough to ensure that those Stoke fans head home happy tonight.

:44:57. > :45:01.Delightfully flighted over the wall. Martial couldn't get across quickly

:45:02. > :45:06.enough. Stoke City on course for their first away win since March

:45:07. > :45:12.19th. It's a familiar Premier League campaign panning out, it seems, for

:45:13. > :45:20.Hull City and their supporters. Elmohamady.

:45:21. > :45:37.. Now needs an outlet. He decides that outlet is Arnason. --

:45:38. > :45:41.Arnautovic. What a save by Martial. What a goal this would have been.

:45:42. > :45:46.What a pass from Shaqiri. The first touch by Arnautovic, fabulous.

:45:47. > :45:49.Breezes away from Elmohamady. I thought Martial made a save,

:45:50. > :45:59.Arnautovic certainly felt that was the case. He did. It's a quarter of

:46:00. > :46:04.a century they were together in the Manchester United side that won Sir

:46:05. > :46:15.Alex Fergusson's first trophy. The FA Cup in 1990. Arnautovic.

:46:16. > :46:22.It will sit nicely for Allen. He forces the save out of Martial.

:46:23. > :46:26.Wasn't much of a gap to aim for at the at the near-post. Allen very

:46:27. > :46:30.nearly found it. 1700 Stoke fans here. They haven't stopped singing

:46:31. > :46:37.and clapping all afternoon. It's been a good afternoon for them. Back

:46:38. > :46:43.on track. Next up for Mark Hughes a game against Swansea. Today we were

:46:44. > :46:47.nervous, a little bit edgy we gave the ball away in situations when

:46:48. > :46:51.really we shouldn't be at this level we shouldn't be doing that. We need

:46:52. > :46:57.to rebuild confidence. We need to set our sights for the battle ahead.

:46:58. > :47:05.I'm sure we will. The referee blew the whistle we had good intent to

:47:06. > :47:09.our play. Moved the ball round with good intensity and any number of

:47:10. > :47:12.chances before the great strike from Shaqiri which opened the scoring for

:47:13. > :47:16.us. The key was that we did more of the same in the second-half. Shaqiri

:47:17. > :47:20.produced a moment of magic, fantastic free-kick. He does that in

:47:21. > :47:24.training. We expect him to score, to be perfectly honest. Both goals were

:47:25. > :47:27.beautiful. Of course the first one I think I have to watch it again on

:47:28. > :47:31.the TV, but I think it was beautiful. First of all, it was

:47:32. > :47:36.important that we win the game. We played good. We had clean sheet.

:47:37. > :47:40.That was important, I think for everybody for Stoke City it was a

:47:41. > :47:43.beautiful day and for the fans also. If you want to watch them again on

:47:44. > :47:49.TV stay watching now. There is obviously only one man to pick out.

:47:50. > :47:56.The star of the show, Shaqiri? He turned up. He hasn't done enough of

:47:57. > :48:00.this in a Stoke shirt. We have been raving about Allen it should have

:48:01. > :48:04.been this man, Arnautovic. Today he had that strut about him, the the

:48:05. > :48:10.confidence in the Euros, moments of brilliance. He is capable of this

:48:11. > :48:15.type of thing. That's unstoppable. Technically brilliant. Very good at

:48:16. > :48:18.coming off that right side and getting shots away. The only

:48:19. > :48:23.surprise is he doesn't do it more often with the ability he has got.

:48:24. > :48:28.Fabulous goal. Yeah, he's got this well as well, I love it, the ability

:48:29. > :48:30.to open the defence from anywhere on the pitch. What a pass that is.

:48:31. > :48:36.Arnautovic should finish it. To have an eye for a pass... Not many

:48:37. > :48:39.players can do that. Free-kick, again technically very good. You

:48:40. > :48:43.have to question the wall a little bit. We will look at that again in a

:48:44. > :48:46.bit. That is technically very difficult to do that. He missed the

:48:47. > :48:51.first few games with an injury, to be fair to him. Maybe it's taken him

:48:52. > :48:55.a while to get his fitness and sharpness back. He is strong, that

:48:56. > :48:59.low sense of gravity. Look at that for a pass again. If he can stay fit

:49:00. > :49:02.with Arnautovic on the other side and Allen playing at the level he

:49:03. > :49:06.is, Stoke will be up the table before you know. Pleased for Mark

:49:07. > :49:09.Hughes and his We saw the staff. Free-kick briefly there. Have

:49:10. > :49:14.another look at it from perhaps a goalkeeper's perspective. It seemed

:49:15. > :49:19.to be easy? It looked a a little bit. For David Marshall it was

:49:20. > :49:24.difficult. Shawcross has done what he does best. Make a nusance of

:49:25. > :49:28.himself. Make himself big. He is a big lad anyway. He gets in between

:49:29. > :49:30.Snodgrass. Should they not get someone behind Snodgrass? I would. I

:49:31. > :49:35.would have another defender in behind him. If Snodgrass make as

:49:36. > :49:39.run, moves out of the way last second you want someone to go with

:49:40. > :49:45.him and defend him. David Marshall was in the right position doesn't

:49:46. > :49:47.see the ball until late. The wall didn't do a good job.

:49:48. > :49:50.There's a special reunion on Match of the Day 2 this week.

:49:51. > :50:00.I gave everything to the club. I diddle my job and they gave me their

:50:01. > :50:02.love. Now I go there as Manchester United manager and I go there to try

:50:03. > :50:08.and do my job. 5Live and the BBC Sport website has

:50:09. > :50:11.commentary of Manchester City versus Southampton at 1.30pm

:50:12. > :50:13.and Chelsea Manchester Before that it's Match of the Day 2

:50:52. > :50:55.James, again! What's he done? Well, he pretended to take it and didn't

:50:56. > :50:59.seem to take it. The referee has given a free-kick the other way.

:51:00. > :51:06.What on earth was Pires doing? I see, he was waiting for Henry. What

:51:07. > :51:10.an extraordinary incident. It's still funny, even now, isn't it in

:51:11. > :51:14.on last week's victory over Crystal Palace against bottom

:51:15. > :51:16.To the London Stadium next where West Ham were now,

:51:17. > :51:20.on last week's victory over Crystal Palace against bottom

:51:21. > :51:22.of the table Sunderland, who've failed to win any

:51:23. > :51:25.of their opening eight league games for the second season in a row.

:51:26. > :51:29.COMMENTATOR: Switching to a back three at Palace paid off. Despite

:51:30. > :51:35.being without the suspenses Cresswell he has stuck with the same

:51:36. > :51:38.formation today with Swiss under-21 international, Fernandez coming in

:51:39. > :51:42.at left-wingback for his first Premier League start. Sunderland

:51:43. > :51:47.have Kone back in their side after he missed the defeat at Stoke with a

:51:48. > :51:53.hamstring injury. Their other change from last weekend sees Pienaar come

:51:54. > :51:59.into central midfield as McNair is dropped to the bench. Sunderland are

:52:00. > :52:02.only the second club in top division history to start consecutive

:52:03. > :52:06.campaigns with such a long winless run. So, on paper at least, they are

:52:07. > :52:10.just the kind of guests West Ham would want over as they try to make

:52:11. > :52:18.this place feel a bit more like home. Here's Fernandez. Room for

:52:19. > :52:28.Payet here. It's dangerous. Poked over for Fernandes to chase. He's

:52:29. > :52:34.kept it in. Fernandes finding Payet. Noble look for Payet. Dimitri Payet,

:52:35. > :52:41.a whisker away from another to add to the scrap book for Dimitri Payet.

:52:42. > :52:49.Given that kind of room on the edge of the box always likely to have a

:52:50. > :52:55.go. A yard or so wide. Zaza. Asking quite a bit from his goalkeeper to

:52:56. > :53:01.prevent the corner there. Van Aanholt trying to be a bit too

:53:02. > :53:10.clever. In from Payet. Pickford thought about coming, stays.

:53:11. > :53:16.Agbonlahor in there as well. He asked the question, nothing doing.

:53:17. > :53:23.Fernandes out as far as Reid. Nice turn. Still going. Was he held up

:53:24. > :53:32.there? He asks the question and says - goal kick. This was Reid, turning

:53:33. > :53:38.inside of Manquillo. He had his arms up there, Manquillo. Before that

:53:39. > :53:46.wrestling from John O'Shea. West Ham have started with a really good

:53:47. > :53:53.rhythm. Here's Payet. Still Dimitri Payet. And still. Straight at Jordan

:53:54. > :53:57.Pickford. The Antonio had his pocket picked by Pienaar. Dimitri Payet

:53:58. > :54:04.weaved his way into the Sunderland penalty area. But then fired too

:54:05. > :54:09.close to Jordan Pickford. Billic has had West Ham training here at the

:54:10. > :54:18.London Stadium in a bid to try and make it feel a bit more like home

:54:19. > :54:23.for the side. Lanzini, looking for Noble. Too much on it. Might work

:54:24. > :54:32.out for Dimitri Payet. He gets the shot in. So close from Dimitri

:54:33. > :54:37.Payet. Payet, swivelling away from ast ho of white shirts. Pickford was

:54:38. > :54:43.beaten and Payet was just a couple of inches out. This is Duncan

:54:44. > :54:48.Watmore. Sunderland showing signs of getting into the game. Here's

:54:49. > :54:52.Jermain Defoe he could get in around the back. Got in a tangle. He has it

:54:53. > :54:58.back. He has got the shot in. That is Sunderland's first shot on

:54:59. > :55:03.target. Billic warned his side to beware the finishing ability of

:55:04. > :55:08.Jermain Defoe. Never got the contact he was hoping for there. David Moyes

:55:09. > :55:10.met with representatives from some of Sunderland's supporters branches

:55:11. > :55:16.this week and says that most of them understand the position the club are

:55:17. > :55:22.in at the moment. Noble. Thought about having a go. Might do here.

:55:23. > :55:29.Still Mark Noble. Fernandes. Decent ball in. Zaza was waiting. Zaza.

:55:30. > :55:36.Went for the spectacular. He wasn't a million miles away, Simone Zaza.

:55:37. > :55:41.He was quick to go for goal. Is acrobatically here. Sunderland do

:55:42. > :55:48.have the joint worst attack in the division so far this season with

:55:49. > :55:53.only six goals so far. Hardly anything created from them in that

:55:54. > :56:01.first half. Not the best of clearances. It's through here.

:56:02. > :56:10.Brilliant save from Adrian. Sunderland almost gifted a goal

:56:11. > :56:23.there. A glorious opportunity here. Payet. Offloads to Obiang. It comes

:56:24. > :56:27.back to him, side-netting. That is one of the rare moments of note that

:56:28. > :56:32.West Ham have had in the second-half. Sunderland heading

:56:33. > :56:38.towards their first clean sheet in the Premier League this season. Now

:56:39. > :56:45.or never for West Ham if they are to snatch the points. Noble in. West

:56:46. > :56:51.Ham corner. The last chance of the game, perhaps. Here is Payet.

:56:52. > :57:03.Short-corner. Winston Reid. It's Reid. He's won it for West Ham. With

:57:04. > :57:09.virtually the last kick of the game. Delight for West Ham, despair David

:57:10. > :57:15.Moyes and Sunderland. The short-corner catching Sunderland

:57:16. > :57:19.out. Reid with the turn and the hit. Jordan Pickford unsighted by his own

:57:20. > :57:24.bunch of players. Reid's effort Nestling in the bottom corner. Some

:57:25. > :57:30.much needed home comforts for West Ham. As Winston Reid snatches the

:57:31. > :57:34.points despair for David Moyes and Sunderland. A their winless run goes

:57:35. > :57:40.on. They don't even leave here with a point. Straight to it. Maybe a

:57:41. > :57:45.contentious decision about that late goal. What was your take on it?

:57:46. > :57:49.Offside. You don't want me to say anything else. The boy lost his foot

:57:50. > :57:53.in front of the goalkeeper. It should be given offside. Have you

:57:54. > :57:58.spoken to the team about it? They think it's onside. You disagree with

:57:59. > :58:03.that? That is what I said to you, isn't it? I'm happy much we get

:58:04. > :58:08.three points. Keep moving up the table. It's really good for us. We

:58:09. > :58:12.needed this win. Especially playing at home. We haven't been doing well

:58:13. > :58:20.lately at home. Important to get a win. Now we have two wins, two clean

:58:21. > :58:24.sheets and no matter how much we are talking before training, after

:58:25. > :58:28.training, during the training or analysing the games and everything,

:58:29. > :58:33.nothing can give you bigger boost than wins. Not for the first time

:58:34. > :58:37.this season Sunderland have conceded a goal as we can see from the

:58:38. > :58:41.graphic there. They dropped a lot of points, more than anyone else in

:58:42. > :58:45.those circumstances, Danny. There is a degree of controversy about this

:58:46. > :58:51.particular win, of Winston Reid's. What do you make of it? It's tight.

:58:52. > :58:57.It is tight. I think, listen, ultimately, if you are conceding

:58:58. > :59:00.goals late in games is a problem. Four players with the their back to

:59:01. > :59:05.the ball in the last-minute of the game trying to fight for a point.

:59:06. > :59:09.Keeper trying to tell them, two v one, you can't have it any part of

:59:10. > :59:14.the game, never mind the last-minute. Players not

:59:15. > :59:17.concentrating. Look at the gap. Not the best ball, Reid does

:59:18. > :59:22.brilliantly. You can see the line. The lad in front of the goalkeeper,

:59:23. > :59:29.he jumps over the ball is in line with Rodwell. Offside. It's tight.

:59:30. > :59:33.It's tight. An inch, two inches. It's certainly not a bad decision.

:59:34. > :59:39.You can see the boots, the yellow booze in line line with Rodwell's

:59:40. > :59:41.boot inside the six-yard box. I think the referee assistant does

:59:42. > :59:47.well. The man on the post would have cleared it. Forever going on about

:59:48. > :59:50.the man on the post. Pet hate of man-managers don't do it.

:59:51. > :59:55.Concentration awful in the last part of the game. West Ham deserve it.

:59:56. > :59:58.Payet brilliant. Great to see him playing back to the levels. Two wins

:59:59. > :00:02.for West Ham. Two clean sheets on the bounce. Important for

:00:03. > :00:05.goalkeepers and defenders. Crisis over, isn't it? Not quite yet. A

:00:06. > :00:10.step in the right direction. Particularly at home. This game

:00:11. > :00:14.today was a massive win - To win in that stadium to get belief. At that

:00:15. > :00:19.stage of the game it relieved the pressure massively. I suppose, take

:00:20. > :00:23.that stigma of the new stadium, how hard will it be to win games. Today

:00:24. > :00:26.was an important victory for them. It certainly was.

:00:27. > :00:29.At the Emirates, Arsene Wenger was celebrating his 67th birthday.

:00:30. > :00:31.His in-form Arsenal side faced a Middlesbrough team who've not

:00:32. > :00:46.Middlesbrough arrive all at sixes and sevens. Arsene Wenger 67 today,

:00:47. > :00:50.Arsenal seven wins on the spin in all, Boro six without a league win

:00:51. > :00:54.and at a club that in the past has hit six and seven goals in matches

:00:55. > :01:05.past them. Elneny replaces the injured Cazorla because Granit Xhaka

:01:06. > :01:06.is also out. Clayton is recalled to thicken the midfield. Ayala replaces

:01:07. > :01:17.chambers who is ineligible. Mustafi. World Cup winner with

:01:18. > :01:25.Germany. The centre-half Arsenal fans have been screaming for four

:01:26. > :01:30.years. Elneny. The ball in behind, Theo Walcott has read it and puts it

:01:31. > :01:37.back into the middle, away by Ayala, only as far as Ozil, all of the

:01:38. > :01:41.pressure on Middlesbrough. Elneny! It was whistling. Only his second

:01:42. > :01:50.league start of the season. Well wide in the end. Middlesbrough

:01:51. > :01:55.cannot get on the ball. 80% of possession in the opening 17

:01:56. > :01:59.minutes, Arsenal. Pressure. Koscielny has made a mistake. Cech

:02:00. > :02:06.saves Arsenal, and again from Negredo. He cannot buy a goal at the

:02:07. > :02:09.moment. Middlesbrough dangerous on the counter after an Arsenal mistake

:02:10. > :02:18.and they have a free kick after a rash challenge by Bellerin. That is

:02:19. > :02:25.a very big chance for Middlesbrough. That mistake by Koscielny. Sloppy

:02:26. > :02:31.defending. Cech, good save initially, bad miss by Negredo on

:02:32. > :02:37.the follow-up. Gaston Ramirez stands on the right of this. He will take

:02:38. > :02:45.it and bend it around the wall and hit the woodwork! Great free kick.

:02:46. > :02:49.And Arsenal from a position of total dominance are rocking at the back as

:02:50. > :02:58.Middlesbrough's self belief grows. Elneny. Here is Ozil. Bellerin.

:02:59. > :03:04.Quickly into Mesut Ozil. Good refereeing. Foul on the edge of the

:03:05. > :03:12.box, court Coquelin. He will say the Arsenal player ran into him. I think

:03:13. > :03:17.he caught him late. -- caught. Sanchez to the right, that is a good

:03:18. > :03:26.save because he will have seen that late. Two free kicks, one for each

:03:27. > :03:38.side. Mr Middlesbrough watching on, Steve Gibson. The chair since 1994.

:03:39. > :03:42.Negredo with the header. He's done well so far, great cross looking for

:03:43. > :03:47.Negredo and a great save by Petr Cech, denying Ramirez at the far

:03:48. > :03:51.post. Lovely football by Middlesbrough. Had Nagy Rory has

:03:52. > :03:57.played so well on his debut, the touch by Negredo and Cech got across

:03:58. > :04:07.goal so quickly to make the save. -- Adama Traore. Sanchez. Into

:04:08. > :04:09.Woollacott. Sanchez has gone down off the ball and he was caught in

:04:10. > :04:20.the face. Mike Dean saw enough of it to give

:04:21. > :04:25.the free kick. Ayala fortunate to get away without a card. Ozil will

:04:26. > :04:34.take the free kick for Arsenal. Played so well against Ludogorets in

:04:35. > :04:39.midweek. Will it drop for Sanchez? Just too high for Koscielny as he

:04:40. > :04:44.arrived. Let off for Middlesbrough. They seemed to have the situation

:04:45. > :04:47.dealt with. No real danger here. The goalkeeper and his defenders got

:04:48. > :04:50.into a right mix-up. Just too high for Cristiani as he came in.

:04:51. > :05:03.Monreal. -- cuss Yonny. Sanchez, couple of

:05:04. > :05:09.strides, great shot. Super-safe. Sanchez has come alive in the second

:05:10. > :05:13.half. Really good effort, veering away, fine goalkeeping by Victor

:05:14. > :05:20.Valdes, good goalkeeping. Margaret Macdonald with the blue shirt on and

:05:21. > :05:26.silver hair, and Bernie on the right, big Middlesbrough hero. Ozil

:05:27. > :05:37.trying to find a way through, not like that. Traore can be a danger.

:05:38. > :05:41.Koscielny cutting down the angle. Cech saves. Adam Nagy Rory has been

:05:42. > :05:44.bright and has lifted Middlesbrough to another level today and forced

:05:45. > :05:54.another very good save out of Petr Cech. Not his best birthday so far.

:05:55. > :05:59.Here is Oxlade-Chamberlain. He sees the run of Walcott trying to get in

:06:00. > :06:03.behind. Lucas Perez battles back, good strong challenge won, Mustafi

:06:04. > :06:13.with the cross. Sanchez will not win that against Ayala. Here come

:06:14. > :06:17.Middlesbrough now. Traore on the counter. Bellerin matching him for

:06:18. > :06:27.pace. It has broken towards Negredo. And a challenge by Koscielny denies

:06:28. > :06:30.Alvaro Negredo the opportunity. His body shape, the way he looked as he

:06:31. > :06:35.moved forward, didn't look convincing.

:06:36. > :06:48.Sanchez. Back to Coquelin. He would shoot, Oxlade-Chamberlain might come

:06:49. > :06:54.into the penalty area. Offside, it won't count. Arsenal thought they'd

:06:55. > :06:59.won it. The linesman's flag denies them that victory. And the linesman

:07:00. > :07:04.was absolutely right. It's been that sort of afternoon for Arsenal. They

:07:05. > :07:07.hoped to go top in a birthday treat for Arsene Wenger, but Middlesbrough

:07:08. > :07:10.have been determined, resolute and well organised and have held onto a

:07:11. > :07:18.0-0 draw, brushes for them. We've had a tough run of late and we

:07:19. > :07:22.have not got we deserved and we could have nicked it today if we are

:07:23. > :07:26.being supercritical on ourselves but we are delighted with the point, we

:07:27. > :07:30.have stopped the rot and we have to take the fight and mentality into

:07:31. > :07:34.the next game. It was a difficult game, we had a lot of possession, it

:07:35. > :07:40.was a bit of tired legs. We were intelligent enough not to lose the

:07:41. > :07:44.game in the first half, we expose ourselves three times and in the

:07:45. > :07:50.second half when you cannot win at least don't lose and that's what we

:07:51. > :07:54.did quite in an intelligent way. I think it was an amazing performance

:07:55. > :08:02.from my team. Because, you know, especially after the defeat at home

:08:03. > :08:06.it's really good when you come to The Emirates and the best player of

:08:07. > :08:10.Arsenal is Petr Cech. We had a few shots and their goalkeeper did very

:08:11. > :08:15.well and in the end we didn't find a goal, which is a shame. But overall

:08:16. > :08:25.they had plenty of chances as well. So I think you have to say that a

:08:26. > :08:31.draw is a fair result. When you are in the position at least you can

:08:32. > :08:36.have a drink on your birthday. When you win you deserve it. When you

:08:37. > :08:41.don't win you need it, so in any case you can't escape!

:08:42. > :08:44.Brilliant! I hope he enjoys his drink, happy birthday, Arsene

:08:45. > :08:49.Wenger. Good point, brilliant point for Middlesbrough. Adama Traore

:08:50. > :08:54.looks like a lively acquisition. He was rapid. He looks like a world

:08:55. > :08:57.beater. I will not take away from the rest of the lads because it was

:08:58. > :09:01.a brilliant and organised team performance but he gave them a

:09:02. > :09:05.threat on the break and his pace is incredible. He also has good feet

:09:06. > :09:09.and a good touch as well. Why he has not been playing for Aston Villa

:09:10. > :09:12.since he's been there I do not know. I know he has had a couple of injury

:09:13. > :09:15.problems but Middlesbrough snapped him up, he came on as sub last week

:09:16. > :09:36.and made a big difference, got himself

:09:37. > :09:38.into the team, he is strong and demands the ball and comfortable in

:09:39. > :09:40.possession, as you'd expect coming from Barcelona, of course. That is a

:09:41. > :09:42.brilliant cross. Middlesbrough made some really good chances in the

:09:43. > :09:45.game. He was at the centre of everything good they did. Look at

:09:46. > :09:48.the strength knocking him off the ball. It leads to another good move.

:09:49. > :09:50.He kept up his levels, his fitness levels, even late in the game he

:09:51. > :09:53.burst forward with the same energy and pace. Sometimes quicker players

:09:54. > :09:55.lose the intensity. He's gone past Coquelin like he doesn't exist,

:09:56. > :09:58.brilliant save again. And as I say, he just kept going. He was the one

:09:59. > :10:03.player on the pitch who looked like at any moment he could win the game.

:10:04. > :10:06.The decision. He is quicker than Bellerin. He was quicker than

:10:07. > :10:13.Bellerin and Negredo should do better. That lad deserved to be on

:10:14. > :10:18.the winning team today. He spent a long time at Middlesbrough, Mark.

:10:19. > :10:21.Appreciation today, two goalkeepers, excellent performances, clean sheets

:10:22. > :10:24.and they will be happy. They will be and I was most pleasantly surprised

:10:25. > :10:28.with Victor Valdes today because I thought he had one of his best games

:10:29. > :10:32.for Middlesbrough so far. Obviously he's been out injured for quite some

:10:33. > :10:35.time that what he did well was dominate his area, which was a

:10:36. > :10:39.surprise to me because I've never seen him do it before. The best save

:10:40. > :10:45.of the match for him was this save and it was a difficult save to make.

:10:46. > :10:51.The ball swerves late and at the other end, the one you'd expect to

:10:52. > :10:54.have a quiet again, the busier of the two. To check is the best gold

:10:55. > :10:59.peep in the league and probably has been for the last... De Gea. I think

:11:00. > :11:04.he is and I had the privilege to work with him and class him as a

:11:05. > :11:08.good mate and he is an incredible professional, he stands big. That

:11:09. > :11:11.was the best save of the match. He really kept Arsenal in the match,

:11:12. > :11:16.believe it or not, which is strange to think. No body gave Middlesbrough

:11:17. > :11:17.a chance. It is good of them to put on the performances with a

:11:18. > :11:24.goalkeeper on, considerate. Spurs were defending their unbeaten

:11:25. > :11:26.start to the season against a Bournemouth side

:11:27. > :11:27.who smashed six past Hull last week. Steve Wilson was at

:11:28. > :11:35.the Vitality Stadium. West Brom and Everton left here

:11:36. > :11:40.beaten. Hull left here in tatters, so can Bournemouth make it four home

:11:41. > :11:44.wins in four against a still unbeaten Spurs? Eddie Howe is forced

:11:45. > :11:48.into two changes, though, Joshua King comes in for Junior Stanislas

:11:49. > :11:53.who failed a test on a tight calf and Andrew Surman felt ill in the

:11:54. > :11:58.warm up so Dan Gosling comes in for him. Son Heung-min is preferred to

:11:59. > :12:01.Vincent Janssen for Spurs. The Dutchman has been struggling for

:12:02. > :12:03.goals. Tottenham's opposition have been struggling to contain the South

:12:04. > :12:08.Korean. King to Gosling. Foul by Wanyama and

:12:09. > :12:30.a free kick to Bournemouth. Claiming handball, Vertonghen,

:12:31. > :12:36.against Callum Wilson, but it is a corner. Jan Vertonghen is absolutely

:12:37. > :12:42.convinced that Calum Wilson handled this. Bournemouth might profit here,

:12:43. > :12:47.they are going to take the corner short to King. It comes to Gosling.

:12:48. > :12:53.It is a fantastic block on the line by Hugo Lloris. It looked for all

:12:54. > :12:56.the world as Charlie Daniels would open the scoring. Sloppy defending

:12:57. > :13:00.from the corner from Spurs. Terrific block off the keeper first as

:13:01. > :13:06.Daniels must have thought he was going to score here. It came off

:13:07. > :13:10.Lloris and off the bar. Eddie Howe will be delighted. He will be a

:13:11. > :13:13.little frustrated that his side are not in front but they have really

:13:14. > :13:18.started in a very bright and positive frame of mind. Lamela with

:13:19. > :13:24.a good foot in Bamidele Alli with a lovely bit of skill, Lamela takes it

:13:25. > :13:28.up here for Tottenham. Erik Lamela. Always a threat, Tottenham Hotspur.

:13:29. > :13:35.Lovely bit of footwork here from Dele Alli getting the better of

:13:36. > :13:41.Harry Arter. He is capable of the spectacular comedy clip the corner

:13:42. > :13:44.of the post with that. Divided loyalties for Harry Redknapp. He's

:13:45. > :13:53.not had the best of weeks if you have been reading your papers. That

:13:54. > :13:58.is a hefty, hefty challenge. The referee Craig Pawson is a cross with

:13:59. > :14:04.card in hand. Look at this from Lamela. The ball had long gone.

:14:05. > :14:10.Confident Smith will survive but Lamela is booked.

:14:11. > :14:22.Walker to Ericsson. Looking for Son. Wilshere with Wanyama. Eriksen,

:14:23. > :14:27.deflected! Good save by Artur Boruc. Deflected off Artur Boruc.

:14:28. > :14:31.deflected! Good save by Artur Boruc. Deflected off Artur Would have been

:14:32. > :14:38.on target. Mistake by Danny Rose. King. Helped on by Dembele. I keep

:14:39. > :14:45.thinking there has got to be a goal soon. I've been thinking that from

:14:46. > :14:52.almost the first minute. Erik Lamela has already had a yellow card and he

:14:53. > :15:02.mistimed that. He has got away with it. Rightly or wrongly. Lamela.

:15:03. > :15:09.Space here for Dele Alli. Good hit! Well saved by Artur Boruc. This is

:15:10. > :15:14.Spurs's best starts to a season since 1990 when it was all about

:15:15. > :15:18.Gascoigne and Lineker and co-. Spurs were unbeaten in their first ten

:15:19. > :15:24.games of last season but finished the season in tenth place. The game

:15:25. > :15:28.continues to promise goals. Wanyama. Lamela.

:15:29. > :15:35.Two or three in the middle who are giving Lamela the glare here.

:15:36. > :15:52.Fancied his chances of hitting the top corner. Wilson showing no signs

:15:53. > :15:59.of running out of legs. Lamela. Not behind Rose. Not ideal for him, on

:16:00. > :16:03.his right foot. Boruc would have been very despirited to have let

:16:04. > :16:13.that one. Might be concerned now, Eddie Howe.

:16:14. > :16:20.He's scrapping for it when it's not on the pitch. I just wonder here how

:16:21. > :16:24.much sises is has caught Harry Arter. He's not going to let this

:16:25. > :16:32.go. He's absolutely incensed. The ball is off the pitch. Oh, dear oh

:16:33. > :16:37.dear. I would be very, very surprised if he doesn't get a

:16:38. > :16:42.retrospective ban for. That the referee has a pretty clear view of

:16:43. > :16:49.it. I really don't know how he hasn't seen that. Commitment from

:16:50. > :16:54.both sides. It's been so impressive. A mistake from Eric Dier. Away they

:16:55. > :17:01.go now. Wilshere to his right hand side. Dembele for company. Can he

:17:02. > :17:06.beat him? It's a corner. A little over a minute of normal time to

:17:07. > :17:16.play. In goes that corner kick. Out from Sissoko. Fraser brings it down.

:17:17. > :17:24.Jack Wilshere. Francis. Driven in. Hurled himself at it. Nothing on it.

:17:25. > :17:31.Francis for Bournemouth. Brilliant turn. Afobe. Look at this from the

:17:32. > :17:37.centre-half. Brilliant. Almost the winner. I'm more proud of the

:17:38. > :17:41.players today than I was last week, that was on the back of a 6-1 win.

:17:42. > :17:45.We went toe-to-toe with an outstanding team and got a point. A

:17:46. > :17:51.deserved point. It was a game of real quality. They start the game

:17:52. > :17:57.really well. It was difficult for us at the start. After 15 minutes we

:17:58. > :18:00.started to control the game. Of course, we would have loved the

:18:01. > :18:05.three points. Of course we would have hoped for that. If you look at

:18:06. > :18:08.the game, Bournemouth are playing with confidence and believing what

:18:09. > :18:13.they are doing. They made it difficult for us. There was that

:18:14. > :18:16.incident with Sissoko. Looked like a deliberate elbow, should have been a

:18:17. > :18:20.red card. That is how it seemed. I don't want to see a player get in

:18:21. > :18:24.trouble if he didn't mean to do it. He apologised and said it was an

:18:25. > :18:29.accident. I'm happy to take that as the gospel and move on from it

:18:30. > :18:33.really. If he didn't mean, if he didn't, hopefully he won't get

:18:34. > :18:37.banned. Good for you. That wasn't the only possible red card that

:18:38. > :18:40.Tottenham could have had. The Lamela incident as well. What do you make

:18:41. > :18:45.of those two yellow cards it could have been? The first one is clear. A

:18:46. > :18:50.yellow card. He slides in, takes him out. This one, I just think he's...

:18:51. > :18:54.He's naive. A bit silly. He doesn't need to put himself in that

:18:55. > :19:00.situation. When you see it in slow mo. What concerns me is the lack of

:19:01. > :19:04.control. Gets a bit of the ball. He does get a bit of the ball, slightly

:19:05. > :19:08.from behind. If he didn't have the yellow card before, he will get

:19:09. > :19:12.another one. Deliberate or not. Only Sissoko knows? The picture say it is

:19:13. > :19:15.all. We don't know whether it's deliberate or not. It doesn't look

:19:16. > :19:20.good. What is he thinking? He's going to get done for that whether

:19:21. > :19:23.he meant it or not. It looks awful. Brilliant Bihary Arter. I like a

:19:24. > :19:28.player coming out and saying the right thing. Brilliant. Terrific per

:19:29. > :19:33.performance. Decent game, both sides having a go. Bournemouth are

:19:34. > :19:37.impressive, Danny, aren't they? They played with an intensity and

:19:38. > :19:41.cleverness. They got after Spurs. Knowing they had been away in the

:19:42. > :19:45.Champions League. Not at it early on in the game. Arter, he was

:19:46. > :19:49.brilliant, but all of them, all of them were at it. Trying to stop

:19:50. > :19:58.Tottenham play. Making them kick it long. Look at this for a tackle. Out

:19:59. > :20:03.Spurring Tottenham? In a way. Spurs went there last year and murdered

:20:04. > :20:09.them. Bournemouth overplayed and got in trouble. This is Ibe getting in,

:20:10. > :20:14.pressing. Minimal possession today than they've had all season at home.

:20:15. > :20:19.It say it is all. When Tottenham got in the final third. Look at this for

:20:20. > :20:23.defending. Closeness. Everyone covering each other. Putting their

:20:24. > :20:29.bodies on the line. Everyone helping out. I think Eddie Howe is right. It

:20:30. > :20:32.was more pleasing than the performance last week because of the

:20:33. > :20:36.tenacity and discipline shown against a hell of a good side.

:20:37. > :20:42.That's Smith getting a block in the last-minute. Tottenham still not

:20:43. > :20:47.beaten this season either? Both doing well. It was a good game. The

:20:48. > :20:51.best 0-0. OK. I've seen in a while. It says a lot. So far. So far.

:20:52. > :20:54.Another to come. Who knows. Bob Bradley's first match in charge

:20:55. > :20:57.at the Liberty Stadium was also Swansea's 100th home game

:20:58. > :20:59.in the Premier League. Watford, who began the day

:21:00. > :21:12.in the top half of the table, COMMENTATOR: 11 A first home game

:21:13. > :21:18.for Bob Bradley. A significant day perhaps to register what would be

:21:19. > :21:22.Swansea's first home victory of the new campaign. The new head coach

:21:23. > :21:32.changed half his outfield players, among the five who come in,

:21:33. > :21:44.22-year-old Alfei Mawson signed during the summer. Two changes for

:21:45. > :21:47.Watford. Ighalo, he scored the winner against Swansea last

:21:48. > :21:57.September. To the mark the 50th anniversary of the terrible tragedy

:21:58. > :21:58.in Aberfan the club are observing a minute's silence for those who

:21:59. > :22:25.tragically lost their lives. Here's Britton, now Barrow. Always a

:22:26. > :22:31.buzz of anticipation when he gets on the ball. He does have it within him

:22:32. > :22:40.to produce moments like that. Tipped around the post by Gomes. He came

:22:41. > :22:45.out and melted in some of the applause that came his way from his

:22:46. > :22:47.new supporters. Injected a new positivity in Swansea. Routledge,

:22:48. > :23:01.that should be easy. Berahino. Good tackle by Naughton.

:23:02. > :23:06.Nice ball to Sigurdsson. Sigurdsson! Gomes with a nice, safe save. Opened

:23:07. > :23:15.up to be hit. Gomes always looked like he was going to save it.

:23:16. > :23:24.Barrow getting away. Still going. Great ball in. Couldn't quite

:23:25. > :23:29.control it. It goes out for a goal kick. Barrow, with his hands on his

:23:30. > :23:38.head. He felt that would be the moment. It is a goal kick. Plenty of

:23:39. > :23:51.time for either of these sides to win this match. Here's Naughton.

:23:52. > :23:57.Sigurdsson. Naughton, Ki. Tackle by Capoue. That's a foul on Ki.

:23:58. > :24:06.Free-kick, Swansea. Just going through the back of Ki, Capoue.

:24:07. > :24:14.Sigurdsson. Hovering over the ball. Plenty for him to aim for. Plenty of

:24:15. > :24:20.tall men as well. Great save by Heurelho Gomes. Van der Hoorn turns

:24:21. > :24:25.away in enormous disappointment, as do his team-mates. What an

:24:26. > :24:37.opportunity. Gomes' legs, vital to keeping it 0-0. Naughton. Barrow. Is

:24:38. > :24:55.Behrami. Still He made a difference since he

:24:56. > :25:05.came on. A glimmer of a chance to give them that precious lead. Into

:25:06. > :25:12.the path of Barrow. And turned towards goal again by Sigurdsson. A

:25:13. > :25:17.simple enough save for Heurelho Gomes. Never really struck it with

:25:18. > :25:24.any great power at all, Sigurdsson. It was a much easier save than it

:25:25. > :25:39.should have been for Gomes. Here's Behrami. Ighalo. . Claims of a

:25:40. > :25:44.penalty in the end. Fabianski flops on the ball. He doesn't get much of

:25:45. > :25:48.the ball. The fashion police were a little critical last week of Bob

:25:49. > :25:55.Bradley's attire. He appears to have smartened up his act this week.

:25:56. > :26:04.Sigurdsson. Two to the right, one is Barrow. Llorente by the penalty

:26:05. > :26:08.spot. It goes instead to Sigurdsson. He clips the outside of the post. So

:26:09. > :26:15.very, very close to a precious winning goal. Sigurdsson. He tried

:26:16. > :26:20.to be so precise. Tried to just side-foot it into the corner. He

:26:21. > :26:26.succeeded only in clipping the base of the post. There are such fine

:26:27. > :26:34.margins that separate sides in the bottom three from escaping from it.

:26:35. > :26:43.. Good effort. Good positioning from Fabianski. Really hit that. It's not

:26:44. > :26:47.to be for Bob Bradley in his first home match in charge of Swansea. A

:26:48. > :26:53.second successive clean sheet for Watford. The final score Swansea

:26:54. > :26:57.City 0, Watford 0. . It's important for us to get a clean sheet. It's

:26:58. > :27:02.been a while. I think the first game against Burnley. We talked about

:27:03. > :27:09.that part of it. I thought the play of our xrbacks was solid. Ighalo is

:27:10. > :27:13.a difficult guy to play against. On that end I was satisfied. I think we

:27:14. > :27:18.created still some good chances. There is work to be done, for sure,

:27:19. > :27:23.but I told everyone that I think this is still a step that we can

:27:24. > :27:27.build on. TRANSLATION: The first half was one

:27:28. > :27:31.of the best first half we played so are fa. Unfortunately we weren't

:27:32. > :27:35.able to score in the last 25 meters. The second-half, it was a

:27:36. > :27:39.second-half that we suffered a lot. I'm in general happy with the

:27:40. > :27:43.performance. How much warning did you get you would make your debut

:27:44. > :27:48.today? Not a lot, to be honest. He told me yesterday morning. He told

:27:49. > :27:52.me before training. I sat there thinking, I'm not in the squad,

:27:53. > :27:59.what's the reason? He was like, "you're starting." That's lovely.

:28:00. > :28:03.You have to take the things. I had a good evening last night relaxing.

:28:04. > :28:08.Today woke up ready to rock-and-roll. It is lovely. Well

:28:09. > :28:16.done. First point for Bob Bradley. It could have been better? It could

:28:17. > :28:20.have been. Gylfi Sigurdsson really should have created things and score

:28:21. > :28:26.goals. Today he had the best chances in the game. Three in particular.

:28:27. > :28:31.The best chance was his last one where he beat everyone except the

:28:32. > :28:35.post. He will be a vital player for them this season. Certainly is. Just

:28:36. > :28:39.about out of time. Good point for both of them in some ways. Thank you

:28:40. > :28:40.very much. Good to see you. Before we go let's look at the Premier

:28:41. > :28:43.League table. Arsene Wenger can enjoy his birthday

:28:44. > :28:45.with Arsenal leading the division ahead of Liverpool

:28:46. > :28:47.on goal difference. Only one point separates the top

:28:48. > :28:50.four, although Manchester City can reclaim top spot by beating

:28:51. > :28:52.Southampton on Sunday. Winless Sunderland are now three

:28:53. > :28:54.points adrift of Swansea, while Hull slip into the bottom

:28:55. > :29:10.three as a result of Middlesbrough Liverpool's win over West Brom it is

:29:11. > :29:18.the headline in the Mail on Sunday. According to the Sunday Express,

:29:19. > :29:23.Manchester City have opened talks with Pierre to replace Aguero. The

:29:24. > :29:28.Sunday Telegraph quotes Jose Mourinho,ed a mid militarying he

:29:29. > :29:30.will no longer be special if he had fails to win silverware at

:29:31. > :29:36.Manchester United. So three 0-0 to finish

:29:37. > :29:39.for the first time in yonks. Look what happens when we get

:29:40. > :29:42.a goalkeeper on!
