COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant! | :00:16. | :00:22. | |
COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal! | :00:23. | :00:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that! | :00:37. | :00:40. | |
Welcome one and all, eight Premier League games on the way. | :00:41. | :00:46. | |
Joining me in the studio two former Cottagers, | :00:47. | :00:49. | |
Danny Murphy and Mark Schwarzer, once team-mates at Fulham of course. | :00:50. | :00:52. | |
After a 0-0 draw with Manchester United on Monday, | :00:53. | :00:57. | |
Liverpool were back on home turf against a West Brom side who've won | :00:58. | :01:01. | |
At the end of this fixture last season and Jurgen Klopp led a chorus | :01:02. | :01:15. | |
line in front of the Kop after an injury time equaliser, he will not | :01:16. | :01:18. | |
be celebrating if it is another draw today as he hopes to continue his | :01:19. | :01:20. | |
team's recent lament. He makes one change to London, | :01:21. | :01:28. | |
Monday's team, Daniel Sturridge drops to the bench, Wijnaldum is | :01:29. | :01:33. | |
able to return to the squad but only as a substitute. West Brom who have | :01:34. | :01:36. | |
drawn their last three matches and are without Jonny Evans through | :01:37. | :01:40. | |
suspension have a staffer Jonas Olsson who scored in this fixture | :01:41. | :01:44. | |
last season. Nacer Chadli hopes to add to his four goals in five | :01:45. | :01:48. | |
Premier League games since signing from Spurs. West Brom have managed | :01:49. | :01:55. | |
just nine goals in eight games in the Premier League so far. Theys | :01:56. | :01:58. | |
Court 2 in this fixture last season to get a point and almost got all | :01:59. | :02:05. | |
three. Neatly done by Lallana. Dummy from Coutinho finds Chamakh, who has | :02:06. | :02:11. | |
Mane one and Firmino the other. Here is Firmino into Mane! -- Can. The | :02:12. | :02:25. | |
first chance for Liverpool results in a goal. Created by Flamini and | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
finished by Mane. For the first 20 minutes, West Brom restricted | :02:31. | :02:35. | |
Liverpool. But then this move under Dem. Firmino had a look up. | :02:36. | :02:44. | |
Beautifully flighted, which Nyom misjudged and Mane did the rest. And | :02:45. | :02:51. | |
that will calm Liverpool down. There is the early first half goal he | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
wanted. Already four in a Liverpool shirt. He's already needing a goal. | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
Coutinho. What a pass from the Brazilian. Nathaniel Clyne. Still | :03:04. | :03:14. | |
Clyne. Teasing ball. Emre Can sliding in. He was the closest to | :03:15. | :03:21. | |
it. Lovely play from Clyne. What an inviting delivery. Both managers on | :03:22. | :03:27. | |
their feet. There were a few words exchanged at Anfield in this fixture | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
last season between these two. Things have not got heated just yet. | :03:34. | :03:39. | |
Kept Foster on his toes. It wasn't straightforward for him and it has | :03:40. | :03:43. | |
now fallen to Mane who has Coutinho in support. Coutinho... | :03:44. | :03:52. | |
Fabulously finished. And West Brom punished. | :03:53. | :03:57. | |
2-0, Liverpool. Fifth goal of the season for Philippe Coutinho. In | :03:58. | :04:03. | |
fairness to Ben Foster it wasn't the easiest backpass to deal with. He | :04:04. | :04:11. | |
sliced it on the volley. All a little untidy until it got to the | :04:12. | :04:15. | |
feet of Coutinho, that was, and he drilled it past Foster at the near | :04:16. | :04:20. | |
post. Interesting celebration, mind. Liverpool 2-0 West Brom. | :04:21. | :04:26. | |
You just feel Liverpool are driving along and a road in second gear and | :04:27. | :04:29. | |
if they suddenly need to get a third or fourth they can instantly as and | :04:30. | :04:34. | |
when required. Chris Brunt, rare foray forward for West Brom. | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
Dawson's Ross. Combination of Henderson and Milner got away. -- | :04:40. | :04:47. | |
Dawson's cross. Here come Liverpool with Mane. Morrison on the chase. | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
Five forward with him. Coutinho demanding it and receiving it. Into | :04:52. | :04:59. | |
Firmino. Desperate defending again from West Brom. Fantastic football | :05:00. | :05:05. | |
from Liverpool once more. Henderson. WHISTLE | :05:06. | :05:09. | |
Jordan Henderson was caught, it is a Liverpool free kick. This could have | :05:10. | :05:14. | |
easily been number three. Good awareness from Mane. The same can be | :05:15. | :05:19. | |
said here for Coutinho, just rolled it into Firmino. The block from | :05:20. | :05:25. | |
McAuley. Coutinho is behind the Liverpool free kick. It was | :05:26. | :05:31. | |
inviting. Terrific save from foster. Firmino's effort blocked. Ben Foster | :05:32. | :05:37. | |
was at full stretch to deny Lovren there. Strong, powerful header. | :05:38. | :05:46. | |
Equally strong hand to deny Lovren his second Premier League goal for | :05:47. | :05:51. | |
Liverpool. What an early ball that is from | :05:52. | :05:56. | |
Milner into Pettini on, who is onside and he has Firmino on the far | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
side. The also Mane arriving and Can. The German's effort blocked by | :06:02. | :06:06. | |
Olsson. They were queueing up there for Liverpool. Wonderful early ball | :06:07. | :06:14. | |
from Milner to begin the move. Milner's won it back there. | :06:15. | :06:18. | |
Coutinho. Milner. | :06:19. | :06:23. | |
And again. Kept out by foster. | :06:24. | :06:30. | |
Just watch James Milner here. He has a look the vision and perfection on | :06:31. | :06:38. | |
the ball. Coutinho was almost spoilt for choice. I think he was looking | :06:39. | :06:42. | |
for Mane and in the end it was Can on the stretch. All of this without | :06:43. | :06:46. | |
Daniel Sturridge, 183 days since he last scored in the Premier League. | :06:47. | :06:51. | |
He will want to get on in this one and try and put that record to bed. | :06:52. | :06:57. | |
That is a file by Robson-Kanu by Milner. West Brom have a set play | :06:58. | :07:08. | |
opportunity. Brunt's delivery. Karius misjudged it and was able to | :07:09. | :07:15. | |
get in the way. Another set play opportunity because it was a corner | :07:16. | :07:18. | |
after McAuley's header. Completely miss read by Karius. Liverpool has | :07:19. | :07:25. | |
everybody back to defend this corner. Trying to see out | :07:26. | :07:29. | |
back-to-back clean sheets for the first time since March. They might | :07:30. | :07:34. | |
not do, and they won't do, it is McAuley and West Brom have a | :07:35. | :07:36. | |
lifeline from nowhere with nine minutes to go. It was a set play | :07:37. | :07:46. | |
Liverpool didn't deal with. McAuley reacted. And he really couldn't | :07:47. | :07:50. | |
miss. His second Premier League goal of the season gives this game an | :07:51. | :07:55. | |
unlikely scoreline of Liverpool 2-1 West Brom. | :07:56. | :08:02. | |
Firmino to Coutinho. Mane. He is all alone. Mane will have to go solo. | :08:03. | :08:13. | |
He's managed to find Wijnaldum who have the awareness to find Firmino. | :08:14. | :08:17. | |
Ben Foster keeps West Brom in it. They could and should have been out | :08:18. | :08:23. | |
of sight. But they did it by 2-1. How were | :08:24. | :08:24. | |
when they scored? Good. They? Not good! Sorry! You are not excited | :08:25. | :08:42. | |
then. Not so good. It was not clear. The plan was to avoid set pieces. | :08:43. | :08:46. | |
Against Man United we did really well. Tonight we did really well but | :08:47. | :08:51. | |
it's so difficult, these set pieces, they are role models for set pieces. | :08:52. | :08:55. | |
Coming in the in the box, not too soft but not too hard, so it's not | :08:56. | :09:01. | |
really good to defend. It felt like 15 West Brom players in the box. In | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
a game like this do you find out things about your players you don't | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
already know? No, they are an honest group of lads who work well | :09:10. | :09:14. | |
together. We lack certain qualities that we are looking for and we will | :09:15. | :09:19. | |
try and keep improving. I think the squad has improved. They have worked | :09:20. | :09:24. | |
hard today, worked their socks off and we have got faults and we accept | :09:25. | :09:27. | |
that and we have to get on with it. But effort and commitment, even the | :09:28. | :09:33. | |
last couple of mistake going and trying. What is it like playing in | :09:34. | :09:36. | |
such an exciting forward line that create so many chances like | :09:37. | :09:40. | |
Liverpool do? I think because we know other and I think we make many | :09:41. | :09:47. | |
movements between the lines, and finally we score goals. | :09:48. | :09:50. | |
Six wins from nine, you must be satisfied with that as a foundation? | :09:51. | :09:56. | |
The problem is, I don't know when I was last satisfied, maybe 2012 after | :09:57. | :10:02. | |
I won the double, or we won the double at Dortmund and that was five | :10:03. | :10:04. | |
seconds. Read into that what you will but not | :10:05. | :10:08. | |
for the first time this season Liverpool were excellent and the | :10:09. | :10:12. | |
star man was once again Philippe Coutinho, wasn't he? He was | :10:13. | :10:16. | |
excellent. He was but I'm just excited now by the whole team. The | :10:17. | :10:21. | |
balance, the creativity, the confidence, the rotation of | :10:22. | :10:22. | |
positions is going so well, better than I | :10:23. | :10:56. | |
expected and I think lots of the supporters as well. Coutinho really | :10:57. | :10:59. | |
is the jewel in the Crown. He is special in so many ways and now he's | :11:00. | :11:02. | |
adding the end product we have talked about. Four goals this | :11:03. | :11:04. | |
season. He only got eight the whole of last season. He is coming deep | :11:05. | :11:07. | |
and has a free role, he starts on the left and drifts in and gets the | :11:08. | :11:10. | |
ball whenever he feels like it. Playing with confidence, his | :11:11. | :11:12. | |
decision-making is much better than it has been before. He can spray the | :11:13. | :11:15. | |
ball all over the place. His skill is brilliant. The awareness of | :11:16. | :11:17. | |
people around him was fantastic, brilliant dummy, and that leads to | :11:18. | :11:19. | |
the goal. What a move, this is Liverpool free-flowing. They have | :11:20. | :11:21. | |
just found this formation and this team selection that really suits | :11:22. | :11:23. | |
them. You've got storage sitting on the bench and they still are not | :11:24. | :11:26. | |
struggling for goals. Grey finish from the left, we've seen him do | :11:27. | :11:29. | |
this more and more. This is what I'm talking about, creativity, final | :11:30. | :11:31. | |
pass, the hardest thing in football is to play people in in the final | :11:32. | :11:34. | |
third and he is one of the best at it. He's dictating games, terrifying | :11:35. | :11:36. | |
opposition, he starts this move, gets the ball back in the second, | :11:37. | :11:39. | |
can he make the right choice again? Can he play someone in for a chance | :11:40. | :11:42. | |
on goal? Yes, he keeps producing. OK, it is at home to West Brom, you | :11:43. | :11:45. | |
would expect him to have lots of the ball but he's been like this all | :11:46. | :11:48. | |
season and is getting help from people around him, another great | :11:49. | :11:50. | |
chance and Emre Can should score. Great block. Long-range shooting, | :11:51. | :11:55. | |
he's very good at this, doesn't quite get this one, but his | :11:56. | :11:59. | |
performance today was magnificent and long may it continue. The only | :12:00. | :12:02. | |
downside for Liverpool is another goal conceded from a set piece. | :12:03. | :12:06. | |
There have been a few of those and they must work on that. It is one of | :12:07. | :12:10. | |
the Achilles' heel is at this moment in time. Date sort of sit playing | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
with zonal marking and that is one of their biggest problems. As a | :12:15. | :12:18. | |
player I hated playing zonal marking, I always wanted man on man, | :12:19. | :12:22. | |
a play on the post, Liverpool don't seem to have a player on the post | :12:23. | :12:26. | |
and it makes it more difficult. For a goalkeeper you feel more exposed. | :12:27. | :12:33. | |
He whips it in here and their best defender with heading the ball is | :12:34. | :12:37. | |
out of the plate with one good ball, and what happens in the end is | :12:38. | :12:41. | |
McAuley Adam Dawson on the edge of the box have a good run-up, and it | :12:42. | :12:46. | |
is very difficult for Firmino and Lovren to compete. They get | :12:47. | :12:51. | |
overloaded in the middle. In the end it is McAuley who gets some luck on | :12:52. | :12:55. | |
his side and finishes it. As a goalkeeper you are in a position | :12:56. | :12:59. | |
where you like man to man and people on the post but the manager likes to | :13:00. | :13:03. | |
play a different way. Would you go to the manager and say, hang on, | :13:04. | :13:07. | |
you've got to help me out, I don't like this way of playing, Audrey | :13:08. | :13:10. | |
have to say he is the boss and in charge. Most players, and you might | :13:11. | :13:18. | |
agree with me, they will ask you, the manager will come to you and say | :13:19. | :13:21. | |
I like zonal marking, I don't want people on the post, I want someone | :13:22. | :13:24. | |
in the hole and what do you want to do? More often than not, I will say | :13:25. | :13:29. | |
OK, I'm not particularly happy, I'd rather have some of the other post | :13:30. | :13:32. | |
and go man on man and then you have a discussion and if the manager is | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
adamant that is what he wants to do that's it. He doesn't say it that | :13:37. | :13:38. | |
nicely! LAUGHTER | :13:39. | :13:41. | |
Here is something I never thought I'd say, Leicester have won more | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
games in the Champions League this season than the Premier League. | :13:45. | :13:48. | |
Opponents Crystal Palace saw their five-game unbeaten run ended by West | :13:49. | :13:52. | |
Ham last week. Guy Mowbray was at the King Power Stadium. | :13:53. | :13:55. | |
Getting the balance right between continuity and change is the | :13:56. | :14:01. | |
Leicester challenge with such a busy schedule. Two changes as Marc | :14:02. | :14:05. | |
Albrighton and Jamie Vardy get a breather on the bench, Shinji | :14:06. | :14:09. | |
Okazaki and Ahmed Musa come in, the Nigerian Ahmed Musa has not fired in | :14:10. | :14:13. | |
a Leicester shirt yet. Scott Dann is almost ready to return for Palace | :14:14. | :14:17. | |
but not quite so Damien Delaney continues as captain. Today he's | :14:18. | :14:20. | |
back at the club, his career in England kicked off with. Leicester | :14:21. | :14:24. | |
signed him from Cork 16 years ago. Respects being paid to the late King | :14:25. | :14:28. | |
of Thailand who has passed away after a 70 year reign, and with whom | :14:29. | :14:32. | |
Leicester's Thai owners had a close bond. When Palace were last here | :14:33. | :14:39. | |
they lost by just one goal. The goal scored by substitute today Jamie | :14:40. | :14:46. | |
Vardy. Here is Okazaki. Mandanda holds up his hands and apologises. | :14:47. | :14:50. | |
Okazaki might do the same to his Leicester team-mates now. Mandanda | :14:51. | :14:55. | |
didn't look straight to Okazaki who had a bit longer to take a look | :14:56. | :15:01. | |
himself. First Wayne Rooney, now Jamie Vardy. Star strikers having to | :15:02. | :15:05. | |
take their places on the bench. It is an ever-changing game this. | :15:06. | :15:14. | |
Huth, not helped by that lift of the ball by King. Townsend now. He's | :15:15. | :15:25. | |
gone for goal. He was having to go through Simpson to have any chance. | :15:26. | :15:29. | |
Kelly's cross against the frame of the ball from Benteke. This is a | :15:30. | :15:37. | |
cracking cross from Martin Kelly, Espinoza specially with someone of | :15:38. | :15:41. | |
Bentekent's aerial prowess waiting for it. Put it in the right place to | :15:42. | :15:48. | |
Benteke. Alan Pardew said he wanted a response to their home defeat last | :15:49. | :15:51. | |
week against West Ham. He's getting it. Great play by Drinkwater. | :15:52. | :15:59. | |
Okazaki, now. Slimani. It's come to Christian Fuchs, now Danny | :16:00. | :16:04. | |
Drinkwater. Mahrez waiting wide. Mahrez! Just over the top. Deflected | :16:05. | :16:15. | |
over the bar by Okazaki. Mahrez sent Martin Kelly completely the wrong | :16:16. | :16:27. | |
way. King. Musa. Slimani. Okazaki with a toe-poke, back to Slimani. | :16:28. | :16:32. | |
Musa, chance to find Mahrez. Chance to shoot, chance to score! Ahmed | :16:33. | :16:40. | |
Musa's first Leicester City goal. Boy, is he happy about it. A | :16:41. | :16:44. | |
milestone for Musa and the lead for Leicester. It wasn't exactly a | :16:45. | :16:49. | |
flowing move, but through sheer determination, with a toe-poke here | :16:50. | :16:53. | |
or there, they managed to work the ball into the space and Musa had | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
options. He could have played Mahrez in, but he realised with one shift | :16:59. | :17:02. | |
to the right, the goal was within his sights. That's blasted home. | :17:03. | :17:04. | |
Leicester City 1, Crystal Palace 0. Leicester City are halfway there, | :17:05. | :17:17. | |
halfway towards making it 20 Premier League home games without defeat. | :17:18. | :17:22. | |
Nobody's come here in the league and won since Arsenal scored five on the | :17:23. | :17:29. | |
26th September last year. Mahrez cross. That's Slimani. It's just | :17:30. | :17:36. | |
wide. It caught the side of the net on its way passed, which caused a | :17:37. | :17:39. | |
few Leicester sides on the other side of the ground to start | :17:40. | :17:44. | |
cheering. Alan Pardew with Gary Lineker on the Premier League Show | :17:45. | :17:47. | |
midweek, it made fascinating viewing. Very animated when talking | :17:48. | :17:52. | |
about Leicester's title triumph saying he loved it. All his players | :17:53. | :17:56. | |
loved it. They all wanted Leicester - not today. Drinkwater, looking for | :17:57. | :18:04. | |
Slimani. It's come to Okazaki. There was some feeling in that finish, and | :18:05. | :18:11. | |
the celebration. It's his first goal in 14 Premier League appearances. | :18:12. | :18:18. | |
Michael Oliver deserves a bit of the credit there. Musa was fouled, he | :18:19. | :18:22. | |
realised Drinkwater was running away. Clearly signals advantage. The | :18:23. | :18:27. | |
didn't Leicester take full advantage? The few changes made by | :18:28. | :18:32. | |
Claudio Ranieri seemed to have worked all right. Musa into the | :18:33. | :18:36. | |
team, Okazaki into the team - both onto the scoresheet. Cabaye. | :18:37. | :18:51. | |
Benteke. Down to Ledley McArthur, finds Zaha. He can't beat | :18:52. | :18:56. | |
Schmeichel. Guarding that near-post. Well-worked by Palace. Zaha just had | :18:57. | :19:01. | |
to check himself as he received the ball from McArthur. Palace have | :19:02. | :19:07. | |
definitely stepped up the urgency level, but then they had to. | :19:08. | :19:13. | |
Drinkwater. Here's Campbell. He's added a little bit of energy to the | :19:14. | :19:21. | |
Crystal Palace front-line. Zaha. Got to beat two. He managed it. Cabaye, | :19:22. | :19:24. | |
he will get another chance. Schmeichel saves. In the right place | :19:25. | :19:30. | |
to block everything. Clinging on to the chance of that fourth successive | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
home clean sheet. Okazaki. Came in quickly on McArthur. Vardy, in space | :19:38. | :19:42. | |
to the left. Drinkwater has seen him. It's Vardy. And Musa got to it. | :19:43. | :19:58. | |
He plays it Fryers who was expecting it to run out of play. Leicester | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
corner. Mahrez corner. Benteke. There's Christian Fuchs! This is the | :20:04. | :20:11. | |
day Leicester supporters have been waiting for that. You just somehow | :20:12. | :20:15. | |
knew that when Christian Fuchs finally scored his fist goal for the | :20:16. | :20:22. | |
club, it would be a belter! On the volley, no chance for Mandanda. What | :20:23. | :20:28. | |
a goal from Christian Fuchs to make absolutely sure of the three points | :20:29. | :20:30. | |
for Leicester City. Zaha who has it through to Benteke. | :20:31. | :20:43. | |
Benteke, with a chance for Palace. He never looked convinced that he | :20:44. | :20:50. | |
was going to take it. That's Palace' day summed up. Benteke has three | :20:51. | :20:54. | |
looks up to see where Schmeichel is and played it into that exact spot. | :20:55. | :21:05. | |
Zaha. There's Cabaye. Palace have one. You wouldn't have thought there | :21:06. | :21:10. | |
was enough time for that one to be followed by two or three, but it | :21:11. | :21:15. | |
does just give a little bit of encouragement to the Palace | :21:16. | :21:18. | |
supporters, some of whom have stopped heading down the steps for | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
the exit. Cushioned into the goal by Yohan Cabaye. Well, there is a surge | :21:23. | :21:26. | |
of confidence from the team in yellow now. . Here's Zaha. Fuchs | :21:27. | :21:36. | |
slipped and got in his way. Zaha. Campbell finds his effort blocked. | :21:37. | :21:41. | |
Mikel furious with his defenders. If Crystal Palace were to get another | :21:42. | :21:44. | |
quickly this really might be on for them. -- Schmeichel. It might be | :21:45. | :21:53. | |
another chance for Leicester. Vardy is on to that. Mahrez is in. | :21:54. | :21:59. | |
Mandanda has blocked it. This should have been 4-1 to Leicester City. | :22:00. | :22:05. | |
Leicester City's home run goes on and on. In the end what Leicester | :22:06. | :22:09. | |
fans will take away most from this is that they were there when | :22:10. | :22:15. | |
Christian Fuchs fired in a belter. Leicester City 3, Crystal Palace 1. | :22:16. | :22:19. | |
How do you feel after that result? I feel good. I feel good. Of course, | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the first 20 minutes I felt not so good. But after that moment we start | :22:26. | :22:33. | |
to play our football. To press, to play so fast, so quickly. I enjoy a | :22:34. | :22:39. | |
lot. We deserve to win today against a very good team. We were OK today, | :22:40. | :22:44. | |
but they were still a good side. You have to understand that. Their pace | :22:45. | :22:48. | |
and their power unsettles you and opens you up at times when you least | :22:49. | :22:51. | |
expect it. It was enough for them to win today. They told me, if I scored | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
I should make it a woodser. What were your thoughts when you saw it | :22:57. | :22:59. | |
coming towards you. Did your eyes lit up? Hit it as hard as I can and | :23:00. | :23:04. | |
hopefully hit the goal. When it was in, then it was pure emotion. Last | :23:05. | :23:09. | |
season against Crystal Palace there was pizza for the players. Will you | :23:10. | :23:12. | |
share thatened woerful birthday cake with them this year? Yes. We have a | :23:13. | :23:17. | |
cake in the dressing room. I said I wanted a clean sheet. At the end, in | :23:18. | :23:20. | |
the dressing room, I said - you don't want pizza, it's OK, I get my | :23:21. | :23:25. | |
money and I'll spend money. Thank you. Have his cake and eat it too. | :23:26. | :23:31. | |
Thank you for sending it us to. Happy birthday. Great victory. You | :23:32. | :23:36. | |
were part of Leicester's squad last season. Talk about missing Kante. | :23:37. | :23:45. | |
The one player who hasn't featured was Okazaki. It has been | :23:46. | :23:50. | |
underestimated how important he is to the side. Today they were more | :23:51. | :23:54. | |
like last season, which Shinji Okazaki in the side. He covered | :23:55. | :23:58. | |
today more distance than anyone else on the pitch. More sprinters as | :23:59. | :24:03. | |
well. One kilometer, travelled one kilometer more than Vardy or Slimani | :24:04. | :24:08. | |
any game this season so far. It's underestimated how much work he does | :24:09. | :24:11. | |
for the side. He has been quite brilliant today I thought. Aftering | :24:12. | :24:15. | |
about out for such a long period of time. Today, his actions on the | :24:16. | :24:22. | |
pitch. He drops deep. Helps out his backline and midfield. Basically, | :24:23. | :24:25. | |
what he does is, he helps them out so they don't have to come out of | :24:26. | :24:29. | |
position so much. He engages the fist time with Crystal Palace | :24:30. | :24:32. | |
midfield and forces them them wide. Forces them to go around him. He's | :24:33. | :24:37. | |
never any moving around the pitch. He is closing players down. He is | :24:38. | :24:42. | |
passing on players. Again, he's putting pressure on them. The minute | :24:43. | :24:45. | |
the ball goes into the feet of a Crystal Palace player he is putting | :24:46. | :24:48. | |
pressure on. In the end, Cabaye doesn't know what to do with him he | :24:49. | :24:52. | |
ends up knocking the ball long. At the other end, this is what her's | :24:53. | :24:55. | |
there for. It didn't work out for him. He has that quality as well. He | :24:56. | :24:59. | |
is coming short. Always looking to link up with his team-mates. Doesn't | :25:00. | :25:02. | |
get it this time. Moves into the box. He is unlucky in this instance | :25:03. | :25:08. | |
after Mahrez' shot on goal. This one, he throws himself in. Not many | :25:09. | :25:14. | |
people would do that. He has that determination. Musa scores a very | :25:15. | :25:22. | |
good goal. You can see him again. He's grafting, fighting for every | :25:23. | :25:26. | |
ball. In a side like Leicester, who this season have struggled at times, | :25:27. | :25:31. | |
he has been invaluable. For all his hard work, he still gets forward. | :25:32. | :25:36. | |
Against all the odds wins the second ball, he is the first one to it and | :25:37. | :25:40. | |
finishes it really well. Cracking afternoon. My son's favourite | :25:41. | :25:45. | |
player. He loves him. Midfielder's dream that type of player. Certainly | :25:46. | :25:50. | |
is. Palace a couple of defeats in in a row after a good run. They are a | :25:51. | :25:54. | |
steady side? They had bad luck. The Benteke chance hit the bar early on. | :25:55. | :25:58. | |
That could have changed things. Missing Scott Dann, their best | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
defender. Puncheon is missing. He calms things down for them. When | :26:03. | :26:05. | |
they come back they will be OK. COMMENTATOR: He can't get on the end | :26:06. | :26:27. | |
of it. What Payet gets the shot in. Oh, the woodwork. Fantastic block on | :26:28. | :26:31. | |
the line. Sigurdsson! All seven of Burnley's points this | :26:32. | :26:39. | |
season have been won at Turf Moor. They faced an Everton side without | :26:40. | :26:43. | |
a win in their last three matches. Defoe is missing today for Burnley. | :26:44. | :27:02. | |
Arfield steps in Ronald Koeman made his point by leaving Barkley out of | :27:03. | :27:06. | |
Everton's starting line-up last weekend. He is back in today along | :27:07. | :27:13. | |
with Mirallas, Cleverley and Deulofeu make way. Everton quietly | :27:14. | :27:21. | |
impressive under Ronald Koeman so far this season. Four points off the | :27:22. | :27:28. | |
top of the table. Marney gets the ball away. Everton now striding | :27:29. | :27:37. | |
forward with Bolasie. Oh, a defensive mixup here. Mirallas. | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
Saved by Heaton. What a lucky escape there for Burnley in the first | :27:42. | :27:44. | |
couple of minutes in the match. Hesitancy in the heart of the | :27:45. | :27:50. | |
defence. Bolasie scuffing the ball. The clearance totally miscued. | :27:51. | :27:56. | |
Heaton called into early action. Bolasie backing away with Lukaku. | :27:57. | :28:02. | |
This is Bolasie. Taking on Ward. Bolasie still going here. Good play | :28:03. | :28:09. | |
by Yannick Bolasie. A block made by Ben Mee. Burnley pinned back inside | :28:10. | :28:14. | |
their own penalty area. Mirallas, tightly-controlled. Barkley, alarm | :28:15. | :28:18. | |
bells ringing at the back here for Burnley. Good save. Pushed away by | :28:19. | :28:26. | |
the gloves of Tom Heaton. There has been an intensity about the way Ross | :28:27. | :28:30. | |
Barkley has played in this quarter of an hour or so. He brings a good | :28:31. | :28:35. | |
save from the Burnley keeper hear. Ronald Koeman, whose team have | :28:36. | :28:43. | |
conceded six league goals in eight games in the league. Tottenham have | :28:44. | :28:49. | |
conceded fewer. Playing second fiddle here at times. A great desire | :28:50. | :28:53. | |
about the way Burnley are approaching this half, the longer it | :28:54. | :28:56. | |
goes on. Ben Mee, here's Dean Marney. | :28:57. | :29:03. | |
Looking for Gudmundsson, lovely touch, beautifully taken by Scott | :29:04. | :29:07. | |
Arfield, Burnley striding forward, and Arfield... Vokes is there! | :29:08. | :29:14. | |
Arfield's shot had the sting taken out of it but in the end it fell to | :29:15. | :29:18. | |
Sam Vokes and he gives Burnley the lead. This was a fantastic touch | :29:19. | :29:25. | |
from Gudmundsson. Scott Arfield does really well here and Stekelenburg | :29:26. | :29:29. | |
could only poke the ball with his palm into Vokes's Path. Watch the | :29:30. | :29:36. | |
number nine who could hardly miss. Burnley lead Everton 1-0. | :29:37. | :29:42. | |
Hoping to start the second half in a similar manner to the first, | :29:43. | :29:46. | |
Everton. They were dominant in the early going. Yannick Bolasie. He | :29:47. | :29:54. | |
hasn't been firing quite at his best so far. That is a decent ball but | :29:55. | :30:00. | |
headed behind by Matt Lutton. First corner of the second half for | :30:01. | :30:06. | |
Everton. -- Matt Lowe to an. Out by Mirallas, backed by Ross Barkley, | :30:07. | :30:16. | |
saved by Heaton. The 1-1 draw with Tottenham was his last goal. He hit | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
this firmly enough. Under pressure here from Lukaku. Hayton wisely gets | :30:21. | :30:27. | |
rid of that without hanging around. On by Ross Barkley, foreword by | :30:28. | :30:34. | |
Idris Elba a. Can't quite get on the end of it. Everton knocking on the | :30:35. | :30:43. | |
door looking for an equaliser. -- Gueye. It was just out of reach for | :30:44. | :30:54. | |
Lukaku. Bolasie. The touch by Gareth Barry but he's given it away. | :30:55. | :30:59. | |
Arfield cannot pick it up, collected by Barry, he's done well finding | :31:00. | :31:05. | |
Romelu Lukaku, Bolasie takes it off him, it is Bolasie! Burnley 1-1 | :31:06. | :31:09. | |
Everton. Yannick Bolasie with his first goal for the club following | :31:10. | :31:13. | |
his big-money move from Crystal Palace in the summer. Everton are | :31:14. | :31:21. | |
right back in the game. Burnley conceding possession. Ben Mee taken | :31:22. | :31:29. | |
out of the game. Bolasie took it over and nudged Lukaku out of the | :31:30. | :31:32. | |
way, and having done that he had to make sure that the finished product | :31:33. | :31:36. | |
was a good one. Lukaku was about to run in on goal and Bolasie said, no, | :31:37. | :31:44. | |
I'm having that, and that's why. I get the feeling more the plate is | :31:45. | :31:50. | |
going to be in Burnley's part of the field than Everton's. Going like a | :31:51. | :31:54. | |
train, and it was nearly at the feet of Romelu Lukaku again. Keane puts | :31:55. | :32:02. | |
it behind. Everton almost in for a second goal here. Coleman powering | :32:03. | :32:05. | |
forward and Keane with a vital touch. Jagielka. | :32:06. | :32:17. | |
Ross Barkley's ball out wide. Yannick Bolasie with the ball in | :32:18. | :32:27. | |
towards Lukaku. Vital touch from Tom Heaton to take it away from the | :32:28. | :32:30. | |
Everton striker who surely would have scored. Back in it comes once | :32:31. | :32:34. | |
more from Seamus Coleman and Stephen Ward puts it out of play. Bolasie, | :32:35. | :32:40. | |
scorer of the equaliser, causing problems here. Vital fingertip save | :32:41. | :32:44. | |
from Heaton. Bolasie. He holds off one, holds off | :32:45. | :32:58. | |
to Mecca, can't find Lukaku. This is Bryan Oviedo now. Bolasie gets a | :32:59. | :33:06. | |
little bit of space. Goes full glory. Fingertip save. The pressure | :33:07. | :33:11. | |
is on Tom Heaton the longer this game goes on. Headed away by | :33:12. | :33:15. | |
Jagielka. Are they going to have a late winner | :33:16. | :33:28. | |
here? At the moment it's looking like a hard earned point. The | :33:29. | :33:37. | |
delivery, headed on, towards Michael Keane. Could be a chance. It smacks | :33:38. | :33:45. | |
against the bar and Arfield's Dunnett! Scott Arfield for Burnley | :33:46. | :33:48. | |
in the last few seconds of the 90 minutes. On the infant and not much | :33:49. | :33:55. | |
time for Everton to do anything about it. Throughout the second half | :33:56. | :34:01. | |
Everton were looking like the more likely to score a second goal. | :34:02. | :34:09. | |
Maarten Stekelenburg's nothing to do in the second half. He was beaten by | :34:10. | :34:13. | |
the shot and the follow up by Arfield. The initial one from | :34:14. | :34:18. | |
Gudmundsson rattling against the crossbar, and Scott Arfield puts | :34:19. | :34:21. | |
Burnley in front with the match almost over. | :34:22. | :34:25. | |
How do you make sense of that? Dramatic finish? There is still a | :34:26. | :34:35. | |
little boy inside you that wish is that when you do it in front of | :34:36. | :34:41. | |
20,000 it becomes more important. It is hard to take, because sometimes | :34:42. | :34:45. | |
football can be so unfair that has happened today. One shot in the | :34:46. | :34:52. | |
second half and 2-1. We did not deserve to lose. We did so many good | :34:53. | :34:56. | |
things but finally the result is not what we want and it is hard to take | :34:57. | :35:05. | |
it. Earlier on I spoke to the Burnley manager Sean Dyche. | :35:06. | :35:08. | |
In your last home game you suffered from a late winner at Arsenal and | :35:09. | :35:13. | |
this time it was your turn. Slightly different emotions, I suspect. | :35:14. | :35:17. | |
Certainly, the one against Arsenal was a real sickener and I thought we | :35:18. | :35:20. | |
had put on a good performance worthy of getting something from the game | :35:21. | :35:23. | |
and a draw would have been fair on the day. Today was a different day, | :35:24. | :35:29. | |
good performance overall. Very authentic performance from us. We | :35:30. | :35:32. | |
went away from what we are good at at Southampton last week and we had | :35:33. | :35:35. | |
to remind the players we are doing the basics here, we're not kidding | :35:36. | :35:40. | |
everyone thinking we will roll the ball around Premier League stadiums | :35:41. | :35:43. | |
and win every week, we know we have to work for everything we get and | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
that was on show today. Two moments of real quality, I must say, the | :35:49. | :35:51. | |
first goal the build-up play was excellent and a lucky break at the | :35:52. | :35:54. | |
end of it but the build-up was good. The second goal, different type of | :35:55. | :35:58. | |
goal, fantastic strike from Gudmundsson, and I must say a | :35:59. | :36:01. | |
fantastic finish from Scott Arfield because they are awkward when they | :36:02. | :36:05. | |
are bobbling. That is three wins now. What have you learned from | :36:06. | :36:08. | |
perhaps having been through this experience two years ago. What have | :36:09. | :36:13. | |
you learned from what happened last time in the Premier League? | :36:14. | :36:16. | |
I have learned that it costs a lot of money to get players. I have | :36:17. | :36:20. | |
learned that, that's for sure. There was a lot made of me playing 4-4- | :36:21. | :36:25. | |
two and playing the same team etc. It's not that I prefer any system, | :36:26. | :36:29. | |
the system that works is the one you prefer. I think if you have two | :36:30. | :36:33. | |
strike as it is trouble for teens, especially in the Premier League | :36:34. | :36:37. | |
because not many play with two strikers and we've been pushed a | :36:38. | :36:42. | |
little bit into playing with the five in midfield. I think that has | :36:43. | :36:46. | |
suited as well, we've done well but that with the Andre Gray situation | :36:47. | :36:49. | |
but he comes back next week and he will have to fight for his shirt. | :36:50. | :36:52. | |
We've shown a different way of playing that can be productive, | :36:53. | :36:55. | |
hasn't always gone well away from home. We have to learn as a staff | :36:56. | :36:59. | |
and I am still a young manager earning my Spurs. I'm hopeful of | :37:00. | :37:04. | |
what I can achieve with this group and beyond. | :37:05. | :37:06. | |
Thank you for joining us. We wish you well for the rest of the season. | :37:07. | :37:11. | |
A lot of things went into that victory, albeit with a little bit of | :37:12. | :37:17. | |
fortune. Having you here, Mark, is a great opportunity for one of their | :37:18. | :37:21. | |
most consistent performers, their goalkeeper Tom Heaton. He made good | :37:22. | :37:29. | |
saves throughout the game. He was also very busy. You would expect | :37:30. | :37:35. | |
that at Burnley. He is their leader and the captain of the side. Second | :37:36. | :37:39. | |
season in the Premier League and gained a lot of experience and | :37:40. | :37:43. | |
growing in confidence from his first experience. I think now Burnley are | :37:44. | :37:49. | |
reaping rewards. It is important for them that he plays well to have any | :37:50. | :37:54. | |
chance of staying in the Premier League. His main strengths? He is | :37:55. | :38:03. | |
calm, probably the most improved goalkeeper in the Premier League | :38:04. | :38:10. | |
this season. Growing in confidence. You can see a couple of stats. He's | :38:11. | :38:14. | |
obviously been busy and made a couple of saves the season, more | :38:15. | :38:18. | |
than anybody else. Another star for Burnley was Gudmundsson who we saw | :38:19. | :38:25. | |
to our cost playing for Iceland in the summer against England. He was | :38:26. | :38:30. | |
taken at Charlton and he was well thought of there. Good left foot. He | :38:31. | :38:36. | |
did not start the season, earned his place this season. He plays on the | :38:37. | :38:39. | |
right-hand side, difficult to mark when you have a left footer on the | :38:40. | :38:43. | |
right. Positive early in the game, confident on the board. This was the | :38:44. | :38:48. | |
little flick, for the build-up for the first goal. When you see a | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
player doing this type of thing you think this lad has something. He has | :38:53. | :38:55. | |
not played at this level before but it didn't faze him. Always demanding | :38:56. | :39:00. | |
the ball. Although they were under the cosh for long periods he dug in | :39:01. | :39:04. | |
and try to get back to help his team, which Burnley have to do, | :39:05. | :39:08. | |
they'll have to put in a shift, of course. Watch this for a strike to | :39:09. | :39:14. | |
help get them up. Great technique and a brilliant finish. He stood out | :39:15. | :39:17. | |
for me and he is not somebody I've seen much of. If you have not played | :39:18. | :39:21. | |
at this level and you see somebody with that confidence, he's only | :39:22. | :39:24. | |
going to get better. Everton, after a cracking start to | :39:25. | :39:29. | |
the season, four games without a win and Koeman thought they were unlucky | :39:30. | :39:33. | |
having dominated in large parts but it is concerning after such a good | :39:34. | :39:38. | |
start. It is but most coaches look at performance. The performance was | :39:39. | :39:41. | |
much better today than it has been in recent weeks. For example, at | :39:42. | :39:44. | |
Bournemouth, if they keep playing like they did today they will be | :39:45. | :39:49. | |
fine, lots of pace and creativity and they were unlucky today. Hull | :39:50. | :39:53. | |
City were looking to end a run of four defeats during which time they | :39:54. | :39:57. | |
conceded 17 goals. They faced eight Stoke side who have secured their | :39:58. | :40:03. | |
first win week against Sunderland. Martin Fisher was at the KCOM | :40:04. | :40:04. | |
Stadium. COMMENTATOR: In desperate need of | :40:05. | :40:08. | |
tightening up at the back Michael Dawson makes a timely return for | :40:09. | :40:11. | |
Hull City today after suffering a knee injury in the summer. With Andy | :40:12. | :40:15. | |
Robertson ruled out for eight weeks Sam Clucas drops in at left-back, | :40:16. | :40:19. | |
experienced duo Tom Huddlestone and David Myler are recalled. Stoke City | :40:20. | :40:25. | |
stick to the side that overcame Sunderland, Joe Allen looking to | :40:26. | :40:29. | |
extend his surprising goal spree. Four goals in his last three games, | :40:30. | :40:34. | |
he is responsible for more than half of the team's goals so far this | :40:35. | :40:40. | |
season. Last week's 6-1 defeat at the Vitality Stadium was Hull's | :40:41. | :40:45. | |
heaviest in the top flight for seven years. 6-1 at Liverpool in September | :40:46. | :40:50. | |
2009. The following game after that they came here and beat Wigan 2-1. | :40:51. | :40:55. | |
They will be looking for something similar this afternoon. David Myler. | :40:56. | :41:03. | |
Elmohamady wants it to his right. Pieters was caught. Elmohamady Buzz | :41:04. | :41:07. | |
is blocked by Cameron. 30 minutes gone, neither goalkeeper yet forced | :41:08. | :41:13. | |
into action. Hull trying to test Grant. They have won corner. It came | :41:14. | :41:22. | |
off Geoff Cameron. Dawson in the box, Davies is there as well, | :41:23. | :41:26. | |
Snodgrass with the inswinger. Appeals for handball as it was ping | :41:27. | :41:42. | |
ponging around. It struck the arm of Shawcross but are the arms in an | :41:43. | :41:47. | |
unnatural position? Hull City started the day at a point above | :41:48. | :41:50. | |
Stoke City end of the visitors win today they will climb out of the | :41:51. | :41:53. | |
bottom three and above Hull City in the process. Here is Mason finding a | :41:54. | :42:01. | |
cross. Keane's head. A long time to come, midway through the half | :42:02. | :42:06. | |
command Hull have fashioned their first realistic opportunity and Ryan | :42:07. | :42:10. | |
Mason deserves all of the plaudits. Elmohamady to bring it clear for | :42:11. | :42:13. | |
Hull. In danger of losing that and he has, stopped by Pieters. This is | :42:14. | :42:20. | |
Shaqiri. Bony. Long way out, deflection off Davis. For a second | :42:21. | :42:25. | |
it looked like it might make life difficult for David Marshall but | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
instead it is over for a corner. Bony and Arnautovic in the six yard | :42:30. | :42:34. | |
box, others looking to attack it. Bony couldn't quite get up, Marshall | :42:35. | :42:40. | |
got a punch to it. Shawcross. That is a lovely ball, good vision, good | :42:41. | :42:45. | |
execution. Shaqiri. Good effort! What a goal! What a goal Xherdan | :42:46. | :42:54. | |
Shaqiri. You do not keep those out. The Swiss where's the smile, Stoke | :42:55. | :42:57. | |
City have the lead, and it's an absolute cracker. Full credit to | :42:58. | :43:04. | |
Shawcross for keeping the move alive and then Shaqiri takes over and you | :43:05. | :43:07. | |
do not let him shoot with his left foot, however far out he is. Stoke | :43:08. | :43:13. | |
find some quality, and its top drawer quality. Hull City 0-1 Stoke | :43:14. | :43:20. | |
City. Mike Phelan without a win since he was named Manager of the | :43:21. | :43:25. | |
Month for August. He started with the successive victories against | :43:26. | :43:29. | |
Leicester City and Swansea. But since then it has been all downhill. | :43:30. | :43:38. | |
Shaqiri has picked out Arnautovic! What a ball from Shaqiri. And | :43:39. | :43:43. | |
Arnautovic, the expression on his face, is very revealing. He feels he | :43:44. | :43:50. | |
should have scored here. Now Allen has two to aim for. This is Shaqiri, | :43:51. | :43:54. | |
can he move it to his right to Bony, only with a chance for his first | :43:55. | :43:59. | |
goal for Stoke and it is that Mandelson with a magnificent | :44:00. | :44:01. | |
challenge, that's why it's so important he is back in the team. | :44:02. | :44:08. | |
That is brilliant. -- batsman Dawson. Must be feeling in the | :44:09. | :44:11. | |
dressing room that a second goal would win the game for them. That | :44:12. | :44:15. | |
was sure from Davies, Allen might steal it for Stoke. Shaqiri goes | :44:16. | :44:24. | |
down under Davies' challenge. Free kick. Hull got themselves into a bit | :44:25. | :44:27. | |
of a tangle outside their penalty area and could not clear their | :44:28. | :44:31. | |
lines. Shaqiri might well fancy this. | :44:32. | :44:33. | |
It will be Shaqiri. It's 2-0. Well not quite of the quality of his | :44:34. | :44:44. | |
first-strike, that was magnificent. It's not a bad follow-up. It might | :44:45. | :44:51. | |
be enough to ensure that those Stoke fans head home happy tonight. | :44:52. | :44:56. | |
Delightfully flighted over the wall. Martial couldn't get across quickly | :44:57. | :45:01. | |
enough. Stoke City on course for their first away win since March | :45:02. | :45:06. | |
19th. It's a familiar Premier League campaign panning out, it seems, for | :45:07. | :45:12. | |
Hull City and their supporters. Elmohamady. | :45:13. | :45:20. | |
. Now needs an outlet. He decides that outlet is Arnason. -- | :45:21. | :45:37. | |
Arnautovic. What a save by Martial. What a goal this would have been. | :45:38. | :45:41. | |
What a pass from Shaqiri. The first touch by Arnautovic, fabulous. | :45:42. | :45:46. | |
Breezes away from Elmohamady. I thought Martial made a save, | :45:47. | :45:49. | |
Arnautovic certainly felt that was the case. He did. It's a quarter of | :45:50. | :45:59. | |
a century they were together in the Manchester United side that won Sir | :46:00. | :46:04. | |
Alex Fergusson's first trophy. The FA Cup in 1990. Arnautovic. | :46:05. | :46:15. | |
It will sit nicely for Allen. He forces the save out of Martial. | :46:16. | :46:22. | |
Wasn't much of a gap to aim for at the at the near-post. Allen very | :46:23. | :46:26. | |
nearly found it. 1700 Stoke fans here. They haven't stopped singing | :46:27. | :46:30. | |
and clapping all afternoon. It's been a good afternoon for them. Back | :46:31. | :46:37. | |
on track. Next up for Mark Hughes a game against Swansea. Today we were | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
nervous, a little bit edgy we gave the ball away in situations when | :46:44. | :46:47. | |
really we shouldn't be at this level we shouldn't be doing that. We need | :46:48. | :46:51. | |
to rebuild confidence. We need to set our sights for the battle ahead. | :46:52. | :46:57. | |
I'm sure we will. The referee blew the whistle we had good intent to | :46:58. | :47:05. | |
our play. Moved the ball round with good intensity and any number of | :47:06. | :47:09. | |
chances before the great strike from Shaqiri which opened the scoring for | :47:10. | :47:12. | |
us. The key was that we did more of the same in the second-half. Shaqiri | :47:13. | :47:16. | |
produced a moment of magic, fantastic free-kick. He does that in | :47:17. | :47:20. | |
training. We expect him to score, to be perfectly honest. Both goals were | :47:21. | :47:24. | |
beautiful. Of course the first one I think I have to watch it again on | :47:25. | :47:27. | |
the TV, but I think it was beautiful. First of all, it was | :47:28. | :47:31. | |
important that we win the game. We played good. We had clean sheet. | :47:32. | :47:36. | |
That was important, I think for everybody for Stoke City it was a | :47:37. | :47:40. | |
beautiful day and for the fans also. If you want to watch them again on | :47:41. | :47:43. | |
TV stay watching now. There is obviously only one man to pick out. | :47:44. | :47:49. | |
The star of the show, Shaqiri? He turned up. He hasn't done enough of | :47:50. | :47:56. | |
this in a Stoke shirt. We have been raving about Allen it should have | :47:57. | :48:00. | |
been this man, Arnautovic. Today he had that strut about him, the the | :48:01. | :48:04. | |
confidence in the Euros, moments of brilliance. He is capable of this | :48:05. | :48:10. | |
type of thing. That's unstoppable. Technically brilliant. Very good at | :48:11. | :48:15. | |
coming off that right side and getting shots away. The only | :48:16. | :48:18. | |
surprise is he doesn't do it more often with the ability he has got. | :48:19. | :48:23. | |
Fabulous goal. Yeah, he's got this well as well, I love it, the ability | :48:24. | :48:28. | |
to open the defence from anywhere on the pitch. What a pass that is. | :48:29. | :48:30. | |
Arnautovic should finish it. To have an eye for a pass... Not many | :48:31. | :48:36. | |
players can do that. Free-kick, again technically very good. You | :48:37. | :48:39. | |
have to question the wall a little bit. We will look at that again in a | :48:40. | :48:43. | |
bit. That is technically very difficult to do that. He missed the | :48:44. | :48:46. | |
first few games with an injury, to be fair to him. Maybe it's taken him | :48:47. | :48:51. | |
a while to get his fitness and sharpness back. He is strong, that | :48:52. | :48:55. | |
low sense of gravity. Look at that for a pass again. If he can stay fit | :48:56. | :48:59. | |
with Arnautovic on the other side and Allen playing at the level he | :49:00. | :49:02. | |
is, Stoke will be up the table before you know. Pleased for Mark | :49:03. | :49:06. | |
Hughes and his We saw the staff. Free-kick briefly there. Have | :49:07. | :49:09. | |
another look at it from perhaps a goalkeeper's perspective. It seemed | :49:10. | :49:14. | |
to be easy? It looked a a little bit. For David Marshall it was | :49:15. | :49:19. | |
difficult. Shawcross has done what he does best. Make a nusance of | :49:20. | :49:24. | |
himself. Make himself big. He is a big lad anyway. He gets in between | :49:25. | :49:28. | |
Snodgrass. Should they not get someone behind Snodgrass? I would. I | :49:29. | :49:30. | |
would have another defender in behind him. If Snodgrass make as | :49:31. | :49:35. | |
run, moves out of the way last second you want someone to go with | :49:36. | :49:39. | |
him and defend him. David Marshall was in the right position doesn't | :49:40. | :49:45. | |
see the ball until late. The wall didn't do a good job. | :49:46. | :49:47. | |
There's a special reunion on Match of the Day 2 this week. | :49:48. | :49:50. | |
I gave everything to the club. I diddle my job and they gave me their | :49:51. | :50:00. | |
love. Now I go there as Manchester United manager and I go there to try | :50:01. | :50:02. | |
and do my job. 5Live and the BBC Sport website has | :50:03. | :50:08. | |

BBC Two, 10.00pm. Pires, he scored one. He faces David | :50:34. | :50:51. | |
James, again! What's he done? Well, he pretended to take it and didn't | :50:52. | :50:55. | |
seem to take it. The referee has given a free-kick the other way. | :50:56. | :50:59. | |
What on earth was Pires doing? I see, he was waiting for Henry. What | :51:00. | :51:06. | |
an extraordinary incident. It's still funny, even now, isn't it in | :51:07. | :51:10. | |
on last week's victory over Crystal Palace against bottom | :51:11. | :51:14. | |
To the London Stadium next where West Ham were now, | :51:15. | :51:16. | |
on last week's victory over Crystal Palace against bottom | :51:17. | :51:20. | |
of the table Sunderland, who've failed to win any | :51:21. | :51:22. | |
of their opening eight league games for the second season in a row. | :51:23. | :51:25. | |
COMMENTATOR: Switching to a back three at Palace paid off. Despite | :51:26. | :51:29. | |
being without the suspenses Cresswell he has stuck with the same | :51:30. | :51:35. | |
formation today with Swiss under-21 international, Fernandez coming in | :51:36. | :51:38. | |
at left-wingback for his first Premier League start. Sunderland | :51:39. | :51:42. | |
have Kone back in their side after he missed the defeat at Stoke with a | :51:43. | :51:47. | |
hamstring injury. Their other change from last weekend sees Pienaar come | :51:48. | :51:53. | |
into central midfield as McNair is dropped to the bench. Sunderland are | :51:54. | :51:59. | |
only the second club in top division history to start consecutive | :52:00. | :52:02. | |
campaigns with such a long winless run. So, on paper at least, they are | :52:03. | :52:06. | |
just the kind of guests West Ham would want over as they try to make | :52:07. | :52:10. | |
this place feel a bit more like home. Here's Fernandez. Room for | :52:11. | :52:18. | |
Payet here. It's dangerous. Poked over for Fernandes to chase. He's | :52:19. | :52:28. | |
kept it in. Fernandes finding Payet. Noble look for Payet. Dimitri Payet, | :52:29. | :52:34. | |
a whisker away from another to add to the scrap book for Dimitri Payet. | :52:35. | :52:41. | |
Given that kind of room on the edge of the box always likely to have a | :52:42. | :52:49. | |
go. A yard or so wide. Zaza. Asking quite a bit from his goalkeeper to | :52:50. | :52:55. | |
prevent the corner there. Van Aanholt trying to be a bit too | :52:56. | :53:01. | |
clever. In from Payet. Pickford thought about coming, stays. | :53:02. | :53:10. | |
Agbonlahor in there as well. He asked the question, nothing doing. | :53:11. | :53:16. | |
Fernandes out as far as Reid. Nice turn. Still going. Was he held up | :53:17. | :53:23. | |
there? He asks the question and says - goal kick. This was Reid, turning | :53:24. | :53:32. | |
inside of Manquillo. He had his arms up there, Manquillo. Before that | :53:33. | :53:38. | |
wrestling from John O'Shea. West Ham have started with a really good | :53:39. | :53:46. | |
rhythm. Here's Payet. Still Dimitri Payet. And still. Straight at Jordan | :53:47. | :53:53. | |
Pickford. The Antonio had his pocket picked by Pienaar. Dimitri Payet | :53:54. | :53:57. | |
weaved his way into the Sunderland penalty area. But then fired too | :53:58. | :54:04. | |
close to Jordan Pickford. Billic has had West Ham training here at the | :54:05. | :54:09. | |
London Stadium in a bid to try and make it feel a bit more like home | :54:10. | :54:18. | |
for the side. Lanzini, looking for Noble. Too much on it. Might work | :54:19. | :54:23. | |
out for Dimitri Payet. He gets the shot in. So close from Dimitri | :54:24. | :54:32. | |
Payet. Payet, swivelling away from ast ho of white shirts. Pickford was | :54:33. | :54:37. | |
beaten and Payet was just a couple of inches out. This is Duncan | :54:38. | :54:43. | |
Watmore. Sunderland showing signs of getting into the game. Here's | :54:44. | :54:48. | |
Jermain Defoe he could get in around the back. Got in a tangle. He has it | :54:49. | :54:52. | |
back. He has got the shot in. That is Sunderland's first shot on | :54:53. | :54:58. | |
target. Billic warned his side to beware the finishing ability of | :54:59. | :55:03. | |
Jermain Defoe. Never got the contact he was hoping for there. David Moyes | :55:04. | :55:08. | |
met with representatives from some of Sunderland's supporters branches | :55:09. | :55:10. | |
this week and says that most of them understand the position the club are | :55:11. | :55:16. | |
in at the moment. Noble. Thought about having a go. Might do here. | :55:17. | :55:22. | |
Still Mark Noble. Fernandes. Decent ball in. Zaza was waiting. Zaza. | :55:23. | :55:29. | |
Went for the spectacular. He wasn't a million miles away, Simone Zaza. | :55:30. | :55:36. | |
He was quick to go for goal. Is acrobatically here. Sunderland do | :55:37. | :55:41. | |
have the joint worst attack in the division so far this season with | :55:42. | :55:48. | |
only six goals so far. Hardly anything created from them in that | :55:49. | :55:53. | |
first half. Not the best of clearances. It's through here. | :55:54. | :56:01. | |
Brilliant save from Adrian. Sunderland almost gifted a goal | :56:02. | :56:10. | |
there. A glorious opportunity here. Payet. Offloads to Obiang. It comes | :56:11. | :56:23. | |
back to him, side-netting. That is one of the rare moments of note that | :56:24. | :56:27. | |
West Ham have had in the second-half. Sunderland heading | :56:28. | :56:32. | |
towards their first clean sheet in the Premier League this season. Now | :56:33. | :56:38. | |
or never for West Ham if they are to snatch the points. Noble in. West | :56:39. | :56:45. | |
Ham corner. The last chance of the game, perhaps. Here is Payet. | :56:46. | :56:51. | |
Short-corner. Winston Reid. It's Reid. He's won it for West Ham. With | :56:52. | :57:03. | |
virtually the last kick of the game. Delight for West Ham, despair David | :57:04. | :57:09. | |
Moyes and Sunderland. The short-corner catching Sunderland | :57:10. | :57:15. | |
out. Reid with the turn and the hit. Jordan Pickford unsighted by his own | :57:16. | :57:19. | |
bunch of players. Reid's effort Nestling in the bottom corner. Some | :57:20. | :57:24. | |
much needed home comforts for West Ham. As Winston Reid snatches the | :57:25. | :57:30. | |
points despair for David Moyes and Sunderland. A their winless run goes | :57:31. | :57:34. | |
on. They don't even leave here with a point. Straight to it. Maybe a | :57:35. | :57:40. | |
contentious decision about that late goal. What was your take on it? | :57:41. | :57:45. | |
Offside. You don't want me to say anything else. The boy lost his foot | :57:46. | :57:49. | |
in front of the goalkeeper. It should be given offside. Have you | :57:50. | :57:53. | |
spoken to the team about it? They think it's onside. You disagree with | :57:54. | :57:58. | |
that? That is what I said to you, isn't it? I'm happy much we get | :57:59. | :58:03. | |
three points. Keep moving up the table. It's really good for us. We | :58:04. | :58:08. | |
needed this win. Especially playing at home. We haven't been doing well | :58:09. | :58:12. | |
lately at home. Important to get a win. Now we have two wins, two clean | :58:13. | :58:20. | |
sheets and no matter how much we are talking before training, after | :58:21. | :58:24. | |
training, during the training or analysing the games and everything, | :58:25. | :58:28. | |
nothing can give you bigger boost than wins. Not for the first time | :58:29. | :58:33. | |
this season Sunderland have conceded a goal as we can see from the | :58:34. | :58:37. | |
graphic there. They dropped a lot of points, more than anyone else in | :58:38. | :58:41. | |
those circumstances, Danny. There is a degree of controversy about this | :58:42. | :58:45. | |
particular win, of Winston Reid's. What do you make of it? It's tight. | :58:46. | :58:51. | |
It is tight. I think, listen, ultimately, if you are conceding | :58:52. | :58:57. | |
goals late in games is a problem. Four players with the their back to | :58:58. | :59:00. | |
the ball in the last-minute of the game trying to fight for a point. | :59:01. | :59:05. | |
Keeper trying to tell them, two v one, you can't have it any part of | :59:06. | :59:09. | |
the game, never mind the last-minute. Players not | :59:10. | :59:14. | |
concentrating. Look at the gap. Not the best ball, Reid does | :59:15. | :59:17. | |
brilliantly. You can see the line. The lad in front of the goalkeeper, | :59:18. | :59:22. | |
he jumps over the ball is in line with Rodwell. Offside. It's tight. | :59:23. | :59:29. | |
It's tight. An inch, two inches. It's certainly not a bad decision. | :59:30. | :59:33. | |
You can see the boots, the yellow booze in line line with Rodwell's | :59:34. | :59:39. | |
boot inside the six-yard box. I think the referee assistant does | :59:40. | :59:41. | |
well. The man on the post would have cleared it. Forever going on about | :59:42. | :59:47. | |
the man on the post. Pet hate of man-managers don't do it. | :59:48. | :59:50. | |
Concentration awful in the last part of the game. West Ham deserve it. | :59:51. | :59:55. | |
Payet brilliant. Great to see him playing back to the levels. Two wins | :59:56. | :59:58. | |
for West Ham. Two clean sheets on the bounce. Important for | :59:59. | :00:02. | |
goalkeepers and defenders. Crisis over, isn't it? Not quite yet. A | :00:03. | :00:05. | |
step in the right direction. Particularly at home. This game | :00:06. | :00:10. | |
today was a massive win - To win in that stadium to get belief. At that | :00:11. | :00:14. | |
stage of the game it relieved the pressure massively. I suppose, take | :00:15. | :00:19. | |
that stigma of the new stadium, how hard will it be to win games. Today | :00:20. | :00:23. | |
was an important victory for them. It certainly was. | :00:24. | :00:26. | |
At the Emirates, Arsene Wenger was celebrating his 67th birthday. | :00:27. | :00:29. | |
His in-form Arsenal side faced a Middlesbrough team who've not | :00:30. | :00:31. | |
Middlesbrough arrive all at sixes and sevens. Arsene Wenger 67 today, | :00:32. | :00:46. | |
Arsenal seven wins on the spin in all, Boro six without a league win | :00:47. | :00:50. | |
and at a club that in the past has hit six and seven goals in matches | :00:51. | :00:54. | |
past them. Elneny replaces the injured Cazorla because Granit Xhaka | :00:55. | :01:05. | |
is also out. Clayton is recalled to thicken the midfield. Ayala replaces | :01:06. | :01:06. | |
chambers who is ineligible. Mustafi. World Cup winner with | :01:07. | :01:17. | |
Germany. The centre-half Arsenal fans have been screaming for four | :01:18. | :01:25. | |
years. Elneny. The ball in behind, Theo Walcott has read it and puts it | :01:26. | :01:30. | |
back into the middle, away by Ayala, only as far as Ozil, all of the | :01:31. | :01:37. | |
pressure on Middlesbrough. Elneny! It was whistling. Only his second | :01:38. | :01:41. | |
league start of the season. Well wide in the end. Middlesbrough | :01:42. | :01:50. | |
cannot get on the ball. 80% of possession in the opening 17 | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
minutes, Arsenal. Pressure. Koscielny has made a mistake. Cech | :01:56. | :01:59. | |
saves Arsenal, and again from Negredo. He cannot buy a goal at the | :02:00. | :02:06. | |
moment. Middlesbrough dangerous on the counter after an Arsenal mistake | :02:07. | :02:09. | |
and they have a free kick after a rash challenge by Bellerin. That is | :02:10. | :02:18. | |
a very big chance for Middlesbrough. That mistake by Koscielny. Sloppy | :02:19. | :02:25. | |
defending. Cech, good save initially, bad miss by Negredo on | :02:26. | :02:31. | |
the follow-up. Gaston Ramirez stands on the right of this. He will take | :02:32. | :02:37. | |
it and bend it around the wall and hit the woodwork! Great free kick. | :02:38. | :02:45. | |
And Arsenal from a position of total dominance are rocking at the back as | :02:46. | :02:49. | |
Middlesbrough's self belief grows. Elneny. Here is Ozil. Bellerin. | :02:50. | :02:58. | |
Quickly into Mesut Ozil. Good refereeing. Foul on the edge of the | :02:59. | :03:04. | |
box, court Coquelin. He will say the Arsenal player ran into him. I think | :03:05. | :03:12. | |
he caught him late. -- caught. Sanchez to the right, that is a good | :03:13. | :03:17. | |
save because he will have seen that late. Two free kicks, one for each | :03:18. | :03:26. | |
side. Mr Middlesbrough watching on, Steve Gibson. The chair since 1994. | :03:27. | :03:38. | |
Negredo with the header. He's done well so far, great cross looking for | :03:39. | :03:42. | |
Negredo and a great save by Petr Cech, denying Ramirez at the far | :03:43. | :03:47. | |
post. Lovely football by Middlesbrough. Had Nagy Rory has | :03:48. | :03:51. | |
played so well on his debut, the touch by Negredo and Cech got across | :03:52. | :03:57. | |
goal so quickly to make the save. -- Adama Traore. Sanchez. Into | :03:58. | :04:07. | |
Woollacott. Sanchez has gone down off the ball and he was caught in | :04:08. | :04:09. | |
the face. Mike Dean saw enough of it to give | :04:10. | :04:20. | |
the free kick. Ayala fortunate to get away without a card. Ozil will | :04:21. | :04:25. | |
take the free kick for Arsenal. Played so well against Ludogorets in | :04:26. | :04:34. | |
midweek. Will it drop for Sanchez? Just too high for Koscielny as he | :04:35. | :04:39. | |
arrived. Let off for Middlesbrough. They seemed to have the situation | :04:40. | :04:44. | |
dealt with. No real danger here. The goalkeeper and his defenders got | :04:45. | :04:47. | |
into a right mix-up. Just too high for Cristiani as he came in. | :04:48. | :04:50. | |
Monreal. -- cuss Yonny. Sanchez, couple of | :04:51. | :05:03. | |
strides, great shot. Super-safe. Sanchez has come alive in the second | :05:04. | :05:09. | |
half. Really good effort, veering away, fine goalkeeping by Victor | :05:10. | :05:13. | |
Valdes, good goalkeeping. Margaret Macdonald with the blue shirt on and | :05:14. | :05:20. | |
silver hair, and Bernie on the right, big Middlesbrough hero. Ozil | :05:21. | :05:26. | |
trying to find a way through, not like that. Traore can be a danger. | :05:27. | :05:37. | |
Koscielny cutting down the angle. Cech saves. Adam Nagy Rory has been | :05:38. | :05:41. | |
bright and has lifted Middlesbrough to another level today and forced | :05:42. | :05:44. | |
another very good save out of Petr Cech. Not his best birthday so far. | :05:45. | :05:54. | |
Here is Oxlade-Chamberlain. He sees the run of Walcott trying to get in | :05:55. | :05:59. | |
behind. Lucas Perez battles back, good strong challenge won, Mustafi | :06:00. | :06:03. | |
with the cross. Sanchez will not win that against Ayala. Here come | :06:04. | :06:13. | |
Middlesbrough now. Traore on the counter. Bellerin matching him for | :06:14. | :06:17. | |
pace. It has broken towards Negredo. And a challenge by Koscielny denies | :06:18. | :06:27. | |
Alvaro Negredo the opportunity. His body shape, the way he looked as he | :06:28. | :06:30. | |
moved forward, didn't look convincing. | :06:31. | :06:35. | |
Sanchez. Back to Coquelin. He would shoot, Oxlade-Chamberlain might come | :06:36. | :06:48. | |
into the penalty area. Offside, it won't count. Arsenal thought they'd | :06:49. | :06:54. | |
won it. The linesman's flag denies them that victory. And the linesman | :06:55. | :06:59. | |
was absolutely right. It's been that sort of afternoon for Arsenal. They | :07:00. | :07:04. | |
hoped to go top in a birthday treat for Arsene Wenger, but Middlesbrough | :07:05. | :07:07. | |
have been determined, resolute and well organised and have held onto a | :07:08. | :07:10. | |
0-0 draw, brushes for them. We've had a tough run of late and we | :07:11. | :07:18. | |
have not got we deserved and we could have nicked it today if we are | :07:19. | :07:22. | |
being supercritical on ourselves but we are delighted with the point, we | :07:23. | :07:26. | |
have stopped the rot and we have to take the fight and mentality into | :07:27. | :07:30. | |
the next game. It was a difficult game, we had a lot of possession, it | :07:31. | :07:34. | |
was a bit of tired legs. We were intelligent enough not to lose the | :07:35. | :07:40. | |
game in the first half, we expose ourselves three times and in the | :07:41. | :07:44. | |
second half when you cannot win at least don't lose and that's what we | :07:45. | :07:50. | |
did quite in an intelligent way. I think it was an amazing performance | :07:51. | :07:54. | |
from my team. Because, you know, especially after the defeat at home | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
it's really good when you come to The Emirates and the best player of | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
Arsenal is Petr Cech. We had a few shots and their goalkeeper did very | :08:07. | :08:10. | |
well and in the end we didn't find a goal, which is a shame. But overall | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
they had plenty of chances as well. So I think you have to say that a | :08:16. | :08:25. | |
draw is a fair result. When you are in the position at least you can | :08:26. | :08:31. | |
have a drink on your birthday. When you win you deserve it. When you | :08:32. | :08:36. | |
don't win you need it, so in any case you can't escape! | :08:37. | :08:41. | |
Brilliant! I hope he enjoys his drink, happy birthday, Arsene | :08:42. | :08:44. | |
Wenger. Good point, brilliant point for Middlesbrough. Adama Traore | :08:45. | :08:49. | |
looks like a lively acquisition. He was rapid. He looks like a world | :08:50. | :08:54. | |
beater. I will not take away from the rest of the lads because it was | :08:55. | :08:57. | |
a brilliant and organised team performance but he gave them a | :08:58. | :09:01. | |
threat on the break and his pace is incredible. He also has good feet | :09:02. | :09:05. | |
and a good touch as well. Why he has not been playing for Aston Villa | :09:06. | :09:09. | |
since he's been there I do not know. I know he has had a couple of injury | :09:10. | :09:12. | |
problems but Middlesbrough snapped him up, he came on as sub last week | :09:13. | :09:15. | |
and made a big difference, got himself | :09:16. | :09:36. | |
into the team, he is strong and demands the ball and comfortable in | :09:37. | :09:38. | |
possession, as you'd expect coming from Barcelona, of course. That is a | :09:39. | :09:40. | |
brilliant cross. Middlesbrough made some really good chances in the | :09:41. | :09:42. | |
game. He was at the centre of everything good they did. Look at | :09:43. | :09:45. | |
the strength knocking him off the ball. It leads to another good move. | :09:46. | :09:48. | |
He kept up his levels, his fitness levels, even late in the game he | :09:49. | :09:50. | |
burst forward with the same energy and pace. Sometimes quicker players | :09:51. | :09:53. | |
lose the intensity. He's gone past Coquelin like he doesn't exist, | :09:54. | :09:55. | |
brilliant save again. And as I say, he just kept going. He was the one | :09:56. | :09:58. | |
player on the pitch who looked like at any moment he could win the game. | :09:59. | :10:03. | |
The decision. He is quicker than Bellerin. He was quicker than | :10:04. | :10:06. | |
Bellerin and Negredo should do better. That lad deserved to be on | :10:07. | :10:13. | |
the winning team today. He spent a long time at Middlesbrough, Mark. | :10:14. | :10:18. | |
Appreciation today, two goalkeepers, excellent performances, clean sheets | :10:19. | :10:21. | |
and they will be happy. They will be and I was most pleasantly surprised | :10:22. | :10:24. | |
with Victor Valdes today because I thought he had one of his best games | :10:25. | :10:28. | |
for Middlesbrough so far. Obviously he's been out injured for quite some | :10:29. | :10:32. | |
time that what he did well was dominate his area, which was a | :10:33. | :10:35. | |
surprise to me because I've never seen him do it before. The best save | :10:36. | :10:39. | |
of the match for him was this save and it was a difficult save to make. | :10:40. | :10:45. | |
The ball swerves late and at the other end, the one you'd expect to | :10:46. | :10:51. | |
have a quiet again, the busier of the two. To check is the best gold | :10:52. | :10:54. | |
peep in the league and probably has been for the last... De Gea. I think | :10:55. | :10:59. | |
he is and I had the privilege to work with him and class him as a | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
good mate and he is an incredible professional, he stands big. That | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
was the best save of the match. He really kept Arsenal in the match, | :11:09. | :11:11. | |
believe it or not, which is strange to think. No body gave Middlesbrough | :11:12. | :11:16. | |
a chance. It is good of them to put on the performances with a | :11:17. | :11:17. | |
goalkeeper on, considerate. Spurs were defending their unbeaten | :11:18. | :11:24. | |
start to the season against a Bournemouth side | :11:25. | :11:26. | |
who smashed six past Hull last week. Steve Wilson was at | :11:27. | :11:27. | |
the Vitality Stadium. West Brom and Everton left here | :11:28. | :11:35. | |
beaten. Hull left here in tatters, so can Bournemouth make it four home | :11:36. | :11:40. | |
wins in four against a still unbeaten Spurs? Eddie Howe is forced | :11:41. | :11:44. | |
into two changes, though, Joshua King comes in for Junior Stanislas | :11:45. | :11:48. | |
who failed a test on a tight calf and Andrew Surman felt ill in the | :11:49. | :11:53. | |
warm up so Dan Gosling comes in for him. Son Heung-min is preferred to | :11:54. | :11:58. | |
Vincent Janssen for Spurs. The Dutchman has been struggling for | :11:59. | :12:01. | |
goals. Tottenham's opposition have been struggling to contain the South | :12:02. | :12:03. | |
Korean. King to Gosling. Foul by Wanyama and | :12:04. | :12:08. | |
a free kick to Bournemouth. Claiming handball, Vertonghen, | :12:09. | :12:30. | |
against Callum Wilson, but it is a corner. Jan Vertonghen is absolutely | :12:31. | :12:36. | |
convinced that Calum Wilson handled this. Bournemouth might profit here, | :12:37. | :12:42. | |
they are going to take the corner short to King. It comes to Gosling. | :12:43. | :12:47. | |
It is a fantastic block on the line by Hugo Lloris. It looked for all | :12:48. | :12:53. | |
the world as Charlie Daniels would open the scoring. Sloppy defending | :12:54. | :12:56. | |
from the corner from Spurs. Terrific block off the keeper first as | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
Daniels must have thought he was going to score here. It came off | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
Lloris and off the bar. Eddie Howe will be delighted. He will be a | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
little frustrated that his side are not in front but they have really | :13:11. | :13:13. | |
started in a very bright and positive frame of mind. Lamela with | :13:14. | :13:18. | |
a good foot in Bamidele Alli with a lovely bit of skill, Lamela takes it | :13:19. | :13:24. | |
up here for Tottenham. Erik Lamela. Always a threat, Tottenham Hotspur. | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
Lovely bit of footwork here from Dele Alli getting the better of | :13:29. | :13:35. | |
Harry Arter. He is capable of the spectacular comedy clip the corner | :13:36. | :13:41. | |
of the post with that. Divided loyalties for Harry Redknapp. He's | :13:42. | :13:44. | |
not had the best of weeks if you have been reading your papers. That | :13:45. | :13:53. | |
is a hefty, hefty challenge. The referee Craig Pawson is a cross with | :13:54. | :13:58. | |
card in hand. Look at this from Lamela. The ball had long gone. | :13:59. | :14:04. | |
Confident Smith will survive but Lamela is booked. | :14:05. | :14:10. | |
Walker to Ericsson. Looking for Son. Wilshere with Wanyama. Eriksen, | :14:11. | :14:22. | |
deflected! Good save by Artur Boruc. Deflected off Artur Boruc. | :14:23. | :14:27. | |
deflected! Good save by Artur Boruc. Deflected off Artur Would have been | :14:28. | :14:31. | |
on target. Mistake by Danny Rose. King. Helped on by Dembele. I keep | :14:32. | :14:38. | |
thinking there has got to be a goal soon. I've been thinking that from | :14:39. | :14:45. | |
almost the first minute. Erik Lamela has already had a yellow card and he | :14:46. | :14:52. | |
mistimed that. He has got away with it. Rightly or wrongly. Lamela. | :14:53. | :15:02. | |
Space here for Dele Alli. Good hit! Well saved by Artur Boruc. This is | :15:03. | :15:09. | |
Spurs's best starts to a season since 1990 when it was all about | :15:10. | :15:14. | |
Gascoigne and Lineker and co-. Spurs were unbeaten in their first ten | :15:15. | :15:18. | |
games of last season but finished the season in tenth place. The game | :15:19. | :15:24. | |
continues to promise goals. Wanyama. Lamela. | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
Two or three in the middle who are giving Lamela the glare here. | :15:29. | :15:35. | |
Fancied his chances of hitting the top corner. Wilson showing no signs | :15:36. | :15:52. | |
of running out of legs. Lamela. Not behind Rose. Not ideal for him, on | :15:53. | :15:59. | |
his right foot. Boruc would have been very despirited to have let | :16:00. | :16:03. | |
that one. Might be concerned now, Eddie Howe. | :16:04. | :16:13. | |
He's scrapping for it when it's not on the pitch. I just wonder here how | :16:14. | :16:20. | |
much sises is has caught Harry Arter. He's not going to let this | :16:21. | :16:24. | |
go. He's absolutely incensed. The ball is off the pitch. Oh, dear oh | :16:25. | :16:32. | |
dear. I would be very, very surprised if he doesn't get a | :16:33. | :16:37. | |
retrospective ban for. That the referee has a pretty clear view of | :16:38. | :16:42. | |
it. I really don't know how he hasn't seen that. Commitment from | :16:43. | :16:49. | |
both sides. It's been so impressive. A mistake from Eric Dier. Away they | :16:50. | :16:54. | |
go now. Wilshere to his right hand side. Dembele for company. Can he | :16:55. | :17:01. | |
beat him? It's a corner. A little over a minute of normal time to | :17:02. | :17:06. | |
play. In goes that corner kick. Out from Sissoko. Fraser brings it down. | :17:07. | :17:16. | |
Jack Wilshere. Francis. Driven in. Hurled himself at it. Nothing on it. | :17:17. | :17:24. | |
Francis for Bournemouth. Brilliant turn. Afobe. Look at this from the | :17:25. | :17:31. | |
centre-half. Brilliant. Almost the winner. I'm more proud of the | :17:32. | :17:37. | |
players today than I was last week, that was on the back of a 6-1 win. | :17:38. | :17:41. | |
We went toe-to-toe with an outstanding team and got a point. A | :17:42. | :17:45. | |
deserved point. It was a game of real quality. They start the game | :17:46. | :17:51. | |
really well. It was difficult for us at the start. After 15 minutes we | :17:52. | :17:57. | |
started to control the game. Of course, we would have loved the | :17:58. | :18:00. | |
three points. Of course we would have hoped for that. If you look at | :18:01. | :18:05. | |
the game, Bournemouth are playing with confidence and believing what | :18:06. | :18:08. | |
they are doing. They made it difficult for us. There was that | :18:09. | :18:13. | |
incident with Sissoko. Looked like a deliberate elbow, should have been a | :18:14. | :18:16. | |
red card. That is how it seemed. I don't want to see a player get in | :18:17. | :18:20. | |
trouble if he didn't mean to do it. He apologised and said it was an | :18:21. | :18:24. | |
accident. I'm happy to take that as the gospel and move on from it | :18:25. | :18:29. | |
really. If he didn't mean, if he didn't, hopefully he won't get | :18:30. | :18:33. | |
banned. Good for you. That wasn't the only possible red card that | :18:34. | :18:37. | |
Tottenham could have had. The Lamela incident as well. What do you make | :18:38. | :18:40. | |
of those two yellow cards it could have been? The first one is clear. A | :18:41. | :18:45. | |
yellow card. He slides in, takes him out. This one, I just think he's... | :18:46. | :18:50. | |
He's naive. A bit silly. He doesn't need to put himself in that | :18:51. | :18:54. | |
situation. When you see it in slow mo. What concerns me is the lack of | :18:55. | :19:00. | |
control. Gets a bit of the ball. He does get a bit of the ball, slightly | :19:01. | :19:04. | |
from behind. If he didn't have the yellow card before, he will get | :19:05. | :19:08. | |
another one. Deliberate or not. Only Sissoko knows? The picture say it is | :19:09. | :19:12. | |
all. We don't know whether it's deliberate or not. It doesn't look | :19:13. | :19:15. | |
good. What is he thinking? He's going to get done for that whether | :19:16. | :19:20. | |
he meant it or not. It looks awful. Brilliant Bihary Arter. I like a | :19:21. | :19:23. | |
player coming out and saying the right thing. Brilliant. Terrific per | :19:24. | :19:28. | |
performance. Decent game, both sides having a go. Bournemouth are | :19:29. | :19:33. | |
impressive, Danny, aren't they? They played with an intensity and | :19:34. | :19:37. | |
cleverness. They got after Spurs. Knowing they had been away in the | :19:38. | :19:41. | |
Champions League. Not at it early on in the game. Arter, he was | :19:42. | :19:45. | |
brilliant, but all of them, all of them were at it. Trying to stop | :19:46. | :19:49. | |
Tottenham play. Making them kick it long. Look at this for a tackle. Out | :19:50. | :19:58. | |
Spurring Tottenham? In a way. Spurs went there last year and murdered | :19:59. | :20:03. | |
them. Bournemouth overplayed and got in trouble. This is Ibe getting in, | :20:04. | :20:09. | |
pressing. Minimal possession today than they've had all season at home. | :20:10. | :20:14. | |
It say it is all. When Tottenham got in the final third. Look at this for | :20:15. | :20:19. | |
defending. Closeness. Everyone covering each other. Putting their | :20:20. | :20:23. | |
bodies on the line. Everyone helping out. I think Eddie Howe is right. It | :20:24. | :20:29. | |
was more pleasing than the performance last week because of the | :20:30. | :20:32. | |
tenacity and discipline shown against a hell of a good side. | :20:33. | :20:36. | |
That's Smith getting a block in the last-minute. Tottenham still not | :20:37. | :20:42. | |
beaten this season either? Both doing well. It was a good game. The | :20:43. | :20:47. | |
best 0-0. OK. I've seen in a while. It says a lot. So far. So far. | :20:48. | :20:51. | |
Another to come. Who knows. Bob Bradley's first match in charge | :20:52. | :20:54. | |
at the Liberty Stadium was also Swansea's 100th home game | :20:55. | :20:57. | |
in the Premier League. Watford, who began the day | :20:58. | :20:59. | |
in the top half of the table, COMMENTATOR: 11 A first home game | :21:00. | :21:12. | |
for Bob Bradley. A significant day perhaps to register what would be | :21:13. | :21:18. | |
Swansea's first home victory of the new campaign. The new head coach | :21:19. | :21:22. | |
changed half his outfield players, among the five who come in, | :21:23. | :21:32. | |
22-year-old Alfei Mawson signed during the summer. Two changes for | :21:33. | :21:44. | |
Watford. Ighalo, he scored the winner against Swansea last | :21:45. | :21:47. | |
September. To the mark the 50th anniversary of the terrible tragedy | :21:48. | :21:57. | |
in Aberfan the club are observing a minute's silence for those who | :21:58. | :21:58. | |
tragically lost their lives. Here's Britton, now Barrow. Always a | :21:59. | :22:25. | |
buzz of anticipation when he gets on the ball. He does have it within him | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
to produce moments like that. Tipped around the post by Gomes. He came | :22:32. | :22:40. | |
out and melted in some of the applause that came his way from his | :22:41. | :22:45. | |
new supporters. Injected a new positivity in Swansea. Routledge, | :22:46. | :22:47. | |
that should be easy. Berahino. Good tackle by Naughton. | :22:48. | :23:01. | |
Nice ball to Sigurdsson. Sigurdsson! Gomes with a nice, safe save. Opened | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
up to be hit. Gomes always looked like he was going to save it. | :23:07. | :23:15. | |
Barrow getting away. Still going. Great ball in. Couldn't quite | :23:16. | :23:24. | |
control it. It goes out for a goal kick. Barrow, with his hands on his | :23:25. | :23:29. | |
head. He felt that would be the moment. It is a goal kick. Plenty of | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
time for either of these sides to win this match. Here's Naughton. | :23:39. | :23:51. | |
Sigurdsson. Naughton, Ki. Tackle by Capoue. That's a foul on Ki. | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
Free-kick, Swansea. Just going through the back of Ki, Capoue. | :23:58. | :24:06. | |
Sigurdsson. Hovering over the ball. Plenty for him to aim for. Plenty of | :24:07. | :24:14. | |
tall men as well. Great save by Heurelho Gomes. Van der Hoorn turns | :24:15. | :24:20. | |
away in enormous disappointment, as do his team-mates. What an | :24:21. | :24:25. | |
opportunity. Gomes' legs, vital to keeping it 0-0. Naughton. Barrow. Is | :24:26. | :24:37. | |
Behrami. Still He made a difference since he | :24:38. | :24:55. | |
came on. A glimmer of a chance to give them that precious lead. Into | :24:56. | :25:05. | |
the path of Barrow. And turned towards goal again by Sigurdsson. A | :25:06. | :25:12. | |
simple enough save for Heurelho Gomes. Never really struck it with | :25:13. | :25:17. | |
any great power at all, Sigurdsson. It was a much easier save than it | :25:18. | :25:24. | |
should have been for Gomes. Here's Behrami. Ighalo. . Claims of a | :25:25. | :25:39. | |
penalty in the end. Fabianski flops on the ball. He doesn't get much of | :25:40. | :25:44. | |
the ball. The fashion police were a little critical last week of Bob | :25:45. | :25:48. | |
Bradley's attire. He appears to have smartened up his act this week. | :25:49. | :25:55. | |
Sigurdsson. Two to the right, one is Barrow. Llorente by the penalty | :25:56. | :26:04. | |
spot. It goes instead to Sigurdsson. He clips the outside of the post. So | :26:05. | :26:08. | |
very, very close to a precious winning goal. Sigurdsson. He tried | :26:09. | :26:15. | |
to be so precise. Tried to just side-foot it into the corner. He | :26:16. | :26:20. | |
succeeded only in clipping the base of the post. There are such fine | :26:21. | :26:26. | |
margins that separate sides in the bottom three from escaping from it. | :26:27. | :26:34. | |
. Good effort. Good positioning from Fabianski. Really hit that. It's not | :26:35. | :26:43. | |
to be for Bob Bradley in his first home match in charge of Swansea. A | :26:44. | :26:47. | |
second successive clean sheet for Watford. The final score Swansea | :26:48. | :26:53. | |
City 0, Watford 0. . It's important for us to get a clean sheet. It's | :26:54. | :26:57. | |
been a while. I think the first game against Burnley. We talked about | :26:58. | :27:02. | |
that part of it. I thought the play of our xrbacks was solid. Ighalo is | :27:03. | :27:09. | |
a difficult guy to play against. On that end I was satisfied. I think we | :27:10. | :27:13. | |
created still some good chances. There is work to be done, for sure, | :27:14. | :27:18. | |
but I told everyone that I think this is still a step that we can | :27:19. | :27:23. | |
build on. TRANSLATION: The first half was one | :27:24. | :27:27. | |
of the best first half we played so are fa. Unfortunately we weren't | :27:28. | :27:31. | |
able to score in the last 25 meters. The second-half, it was a | :27:32. | :27:35. | |
second-half that we suffered a lot. I'm in general happy with the | :27:36. | :27:39. | |
performance. How much warning did you get you would make your debut | :27:40. | :27:43. | |
today? Not a lot, to be honest. He told me yesterday morning. He told | :27:44. | :27:48. | |
me before training. I sat there thinking, I'm not in the squad, | :27:49. | :27:52. | |
what's the reason? He was like, "you're starting." That's lovely. | :27:53. | :27:59. | |
You have to take the things. I had a good evening last night relaxing. | :28:00. | :28:03. | |
Today woke up ready to rock-and-roll. It is lovely. Well | :28:04. | :28:08. | |
done. First point for Bob Bradley. It could have been better? It could | :28:09. | :28:16. | |
have been. Gylfi Sigurdsson really should have created things and score | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
goals. Today he had the best chances in the game. Three in particular. | :28:21. | :28:26. | |
The best chance was his last one where he beat everyone except the | :28:27. | :28:31. | |
post. He will be a vital player for them this season. Certainly is. Just | :28:32. | :28:35. | |
about out of time. Good point for both of them in some ways. Thank you | :28:36. | :28:39. | |
very much. Good to see you. Before we go let's look at the Premier | :28:40. | :28:40. | |
League table. Arsene Wenger can enjoy his birthday | :28:41. | :28:43. | |
with Arsenal leading the division ahead of Liverpool | :28:44. | :28:45. | |
on goal difference. Only one point separates the top | :28:46. | :28:47. | |
four, although Manchester City can reclaim top spot by beating | :28:48. | :28:50. | |
Southampton on Sunday. Winless Sunderland are now three | :28:51. | :28:52. | |
points adrift of Swansea, while Hull slip into the bottom | :28:53. | :28:54. | |
three as a result of Middlesbrough Liverpool's win over West Brom it is | :28:55. | :29:10. | |
the headline in the Mail on Sunday. According to the Sunday Express, | :29:11. | :29:18. | |
Manchester City have opened talks with Pierre to replace Aguero. The | :29:19. | :29:23. | |
Sunday Telegraph quotes Jose Mourinho,ed a mid militarying he | :29:24. | :29:28. | |
will no longer be special if he had fails to win silverware at | :29:29. | :29:30. | |
Manchester United. So three 0-0 to finish | :29:31. | :29:36. | |
for the first time in yonks. Look what happens when we get | :29:37. | :29:39. | |
a goalkeeper on! | :29:40. | :29:42. |
