:00:17. > :00:24.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:25. > :00:36.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!
:00:37. > :00:42.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:43. > :00:47.It's been another quiet week in football, not much to report
:00:48. > :00:49.other than the fact we've six crucial Premier League games
:00:50. > :00:56.Alan Shearer and Jermaine Jenas are on hand to guide us through.
:00:57. > :01:01.We start with league leaders Chelsea.
:01:02. > :01:03.Antonio Conte's team began the weekend with an eight-point lead
:01:04. > :01:06.at the summit and seemingly on course for the title.
:01:07. > :01:08.Their opponents, Swansea, have seen an upturn in form
:01:09. > :01:10.since the arrival of manager Paul Clement, a former
:01:11. > :01:18.Your commentator at Stamford Bridge, Guy Mowbray.
:01:19. > :01:26.From John Hollins and even Frank Lampard for a short while, through
:01:27. > :01:29.Paul Clement, there has been a line of notable blue blood at Swansea
:01:30. > :01:35.City, and the Swansea blood is pumping with confidence at the
:01:36. > :01:38.moment due to their revival since Clement took charge. But this is
:01:39. > :01:41.their biggest challenge yet against a Chelsea side that shows one change
:01:42. > :01:47.since their game at Burnley, with Matic making way for Cesc Fabregas
:01:48. > :01:52.who plays in the Premier League for the 300th time. The Stamford Bridge
:01:53. > :01:57.connections in Swansea continue with their captain Jack Cork, who started
:01:58. > :02:02.out on Chelsea's books without ever making the first team. The Swans
:02:03. > :02:05.lost Nathan Dyer to injury, said their only change sees the similarly
:02:06. > :02:09.experienced Wayne Routledge take his place.
:02:10. > :02:22.Can Swansea somehow stalled Chelsea's charge towards the title?
:02:23. > :02:33.It is going to come to Diego Costa again, and it will be Hazard's turn.
:02:34. > :02:40.Fabregas, and it is blocked. Chelsea were waltzing their way through to
:02:41. > :02:46.goal. It was undoubtedly on target. It struck the shoulder of Tom
:02:47. > :02:50.Carroll. Paul Clement had two spells on the coaching staff at Chelsea,
:02:51. > :02:55.with the academy in the late 90s, and then from 2007-2011 he was
:02:56. > :03:05.coaching assistant to Carlo Ancelotti.
:03:06. > :03:15.That trick didn't work, only succeeded in playing the ball to
:03:16. > :03:20.Fabregas. Hazard. Here is the busy Pedro, behind Fabregas, and he
:03:21. > :03:24.somehow managed to scramble it home. Chelsea have been putting their
:03:25. > :03:28.passes together over the last five or six minutes. Now they have
:03:29. > :03:36.managed to see their persistence payoff. Diego Costa had to work to
:03:37. > :03:42.get to that, but he stretched and he got some of the ball and played it
:03:43. > :03:44.back Hazard's way, and was Hazard sufficiently in the way of Lukasz
:03:45. > :03:54.Fabianski? No, he's not interfering. He's not
:03:55. > :04:00.in the keeper's byline, and Fabregas has managed to dig it into the
:04:01. > :04:01.corner, Seppi crowns his 300th Premier League appearance with his
:04:02. > :04:17.46th goal in the competition. It has just run away from Costa, but
:04:18. > :04:29.he won't give up on it. Still in play with Moses. Fabregas, and that
:04:30. > :04:35.is a super save by Fabianski. Old Arsenal denies old Arsenal. What a
:04:36. > :04:41.save this was from Lukasz Fabianski, it was hit just as Fabregas wanted
:04:42. > :04:47.to hate it. Swansea are rattled and rocking. Staying in the game has to
:04:48. > :04:57.be their priority. Olsen is the man who got it back for Swansea.
:04:58. > :05:07.Fabregas gives it away. It is one back again, given away again, lost
:05:08. > :05:11.again. Finally, we get the referee's whistle to indicate a Swansea free
:05:12. > :05:16.kick. We have passed the minute but was indicated. The half-time whistle
:05:17. > :05:20.any time now. Is there time for Swansea to just lift one more ball
:05:21. > :05:27.in the direction of Thibaut Cortois's goal? And it is headed in!
:05:28. > :05:34.Would you believe it? Right on the stroke of half-time, Fernando
:05:35. > :05:44.Llorente draws Chelsea level. -- draws Swansea level. The minute is
:05:45. > :05:50.the minimum, it is not offside, he looked in-line, did Llorente. But
:05:51. > :05:54.came his way from Gylfi Sigurdsson. And the Chelsea defenders were
:05:55. > :06:00.guilty of abandoning their post there. They let the man most likely
:06:01. > :06:10.to head the ball in head the ball in.
:06:11. > :06:20.Leroy Fer looked close, Swarbrick played advantage on Chelsea Gnahore
:06:21. > :06:32.throw-in. -- Chelsea now have a throw-in. Fabregas forces a fine
:06:33. > :06:38.save from Fabianski. Mawson's attempt to get the ball away. Well
:06:39. > :06:44.drilled by Eden Hazard, Fabianski down really smartly. That Swansea
:06:45. > :06:45.goal might just have changed the half-time words a little from
:06:46. > :07:04.Antonio Conte. Alonso, a lovely first-time ball far
:07:05. > :07:10.Hazard, and there is Fabregas to hammer the crossbar. Brilliant
:07:11. > :07:18.Chelsea football, but it doesn't end with a goal. Alonso, Hazard, and it
:07:19. > :07:21.is a thumper from Fabregas. The signs are that it will be a long
:07:22. > :07:33.half for Swansea. Sigurdsson has passed Victor Moses.
:07:34. > :07:36.Tries to keep the ball away from Azpilicueta, who he felt handled it.
:07:37. > :07:47.Referee Swarbrick didn't. It does come off the outstretched
:07:48. > :07:53.arm of Azpilicueta, and the arm does move towards the ball at first. It
:07:54. > :07:58.actually hit him on the secondary move. Neil Swarbrick didn't see it,
:07:59. > :08:08.Sigurdsson did, and I think Chelsea might have got away with one there.
:08:09. > :08:17.Fabregas is looking for Victor Moses with that one, and Moses does really
:08:18. > :08:21.well. Costa... And there is a whole scramble around the ball as Swansea
:08:22. > :08:29.end up with the decision in their favour. Diego Costa it seemed to me
:08:30. > :08:38.was looking for a penalty here. David Luiz, Gary Cahill.
:08:39. > :08:48.Pedro waited for it. Now has a shot which has beaten Fabianski. Straight
:08:49. > :08:56.through the Swansea keeper. He really should have saved it. Chelsea
:08:57. > :09:00.want mind how they've scored it. It is just a pick-up in the pace of
:09:01. > :09:07.play whenever Pedro gets the ball. And it was a speculative effort. Not
:09:08. > :09:11.even sure he believed he'd scored. I don't think he thought he hit it
:09:12. > :09:17.quite as he wanted to, but it has ended up where he wanted it to go. A
:09:18. > :09:21.Pedro goal that has Antonio Conte celebrated, and has made the score
:09:22. > :09:30.Chelsea 2-1 Swansea City. Pedro's eighth of the season, eight in the
:09:31. > :09:40.last 11 games. The long stride of Nemanja Matic, and the ball has
:09:41. > :09:54.really just bounced off the boot of Costa and ballooned over the bar.
:09:55. > :10:00.Brilliant from Hazard, and scored by Diego Costa. And that should wrap up
:10:01. > :10:06.the points for Chelsea. The warm hug of appreciation from goal-scorer the
:10:07. > :10:15.goal maker. It is that Chelsea combo again. Hazard and Costa. Mastery of
:10:16. > :10:21.the football from Eden Hazard. And all the time, aware of what might be
:10:22. > :10:27.on in the middle and who's waiting in the middle. Diego Costa is that
:10:28. > :10:32.man. Three goals for Chelsea, three points surely for Chelsea. Chelsea
:10:33. > :10:37.3-1 Swansea City. We dominated the game and we played
:10:38. > :10:43.very well, a good performance in the first half, we created many chances
:10:44. > :10:51.to score the goals. We conceded the goal at the end of the first half. I
:10:52. > :10:55.think also the time was finished. There was a big moment at 1-1 with
:10:56. > :10:58.Sigurdsson and Azpilicueta, I thought it was handled at the time,
:10:59. > :11:03.I have seen the replay again and it is a clear handball, and that gives
:11:04. > :11:09.you a chance to go to- one up. Three minutes later you are too- one down,
:11:10. > :11:12.and it was a soft goal. And then the killer blow at the end, great
:11:13. > :11:19.quality from Hazard and a good finish from Costa, so based on
:11:20. > :11:22.chances they deserve to win, but at 1-1 and a big moment to go ahead
:11:23. > :11:28.away, who knows what could have happened? We created a lot of
:11:29. > :11:34.chances, and we scored, and at the end, the result is 3-1 and it could
:11:35. > :11:39.have been maybe 5-1. We need over 29 points to be champions. It is
:11:40. > :11:43.important to know this, for me, for my players. To continue with the
:11:44. > :11:47.great focus, with great concentration.
:11:48. > :11:53.Looking good for Chelsea indeed. It could have change things
:11:54. > :12:01.dramatically. What is your point of view? I agree that it was a penalty,
:12:02. > :12:04.it was a deliberate movement of his hand towards the ball, and I think
:12:05. > :12:12.they got away with one here, it could have been very difficult. It
:12:13. > :12:16.was only six inches away when he kicks it. I know, but his arm goes
:12:17. > :12:24.towards the ball when it is kicked. I don't think it is a penalty,
:12:25. > :12:29.Azpilicueta's arm is out first, and I think he is trying to stop
:12:30. > :12:33.Sigurdsson's run. Slow motion, it looks like he is trying to catch it.
:12:34. > :12:39.I think he is trying to stop the run past him. It wasn't a walk on the
:12:40. > :12:44.bridge for Chelsea, but they do play some lovely stuff. They have made it
:12:45. > :12:49.very difficult, Swansea, for Liverpool at Anfield. They were
:12:50. > :12:54.unlucky to lose at Manchester City. So they are very well organised, but
:12:55. > :12:59.the difference between Liverpool and City and this Chelsea side, that is
:13:00. > :13:02.the pace going forward, and it is very difficult when you have got men
:13:03. > :13:07.behind the ball to get in behind them and work through with the pace
:13:08. > :13:10.like Chelsea did today, and that is why Fabregas was in the team today,
:13:11. > :13:15.because they knew they would have a little bit more of the ball and the
:13:16. > :13:19.possession, and he would get on the ball, and he was brilliant on his
:13:20. > :13:22.300th Premier League appearance. He started that off but he was on the
:13:23. > :13:26.edge of the box, and they get away with it. When they have men behind
:13:27. > :13:32.the ball, like Swansea did here, this is how you get through them, by
:13:33. > :13:35.one touch of the ball, by runners in behind, they get away with it here,
:13:36. > :13:41.but their intention is there, and for a lot of the game, they were
:13:42. > :13:47.like that. And this was the goal. Fabregas starts it off, a little
:13:48. > :13:51.one-two, to Pedro, and Fabregas finds himself in the box, and that
:13:52. > :13:56.is the goal that he deserves. What about this for a bit of skill?
:13:57. > :14:02.Quick, incisive, get a game behind and a very good save from Fabianski.
:14:03. > :14:06.And this is the third goal here. He has got him one-on-one in the box,
:14:07. > :14:10.and there is just no stopping him. The ability to do that and pull it
:14:11. > :14:17.back to Costa, and that is one hell of a Finnish. You don't want Hazard
:14:18. > :14:19.running at you, do you? What a transformation we have seen with
:14:20. > :14:27.Chelsea this season compared to last. Same players, different... It
:14:28. > :14:30.is topical, players not working for managers, and the irony is that last
:14:31. > :14:33.season we were sat here with a large bunch of these players that we are
:14:34. > :14:38.seeing here today, they were not working for their manager and we
:14:39. > :14:42.know what happened. But it is such a transformation now, because we saw
:14:43. > :14:46.how brilliant they were with the ball, but look at them here, and I
:14:47. > :14:51.know they have this guy here, can take, who makes a huge difference,
:14:52. > :14:54.but look at the hunger and the desire from every player to get the
:14:55. > :15:01.ball back, to do the dirty work that a lot of players don't want to do.
:15:02. > :15:05.If Kante doesn't get it, Fabregas or Matic do. Look at the reaction from
:15:06. > :15:14.the players. Barbara Gass is in there, Kante again, brilliant bit of
:15:15. > :15:18.still from Fabregas, Moses doing his bit tracking back, there is just no
:15:19. > :15:25.space at all for the Swansea players, and look at the reaction of
:15:26. > :15:28.three of them, Alonzo, Pedro, Moses, Kante falls over, Azpilicueta is
:15:29. > :15:32.acting, and Chelsea were superb about, and that wasn't the case last
:15:33. > :15:36.season, so the transformation from then to now was incredible. It is.
:15:37. > :15:41.One game down, five more on their way.
:15:42. > :15:53.COMMENTATOR: Pickford will just about stop it. On side. Blocked. A
:15:54. > :15:59.chance. Blocked by Hennessey. Dipping. Not quite dipping enough.
:16:00. > :16:02.Really dangerous ball in. Headed wide by Antonio.
:16:03. > :16:05.David Moyes returned to Everton with his current side, Sunderland,
:16:06. > :16:09.A win was vital for Moyes and Ronald Koeman, who is chasing
:16:10. > :16:22.COMMENTATOR: Back at what he calls his second favourite club,
:16:23. > :16:27.five-year-old Sunderland mad Bradley had to be the mascot today. A day of
:16:28. > :16:31.reunions, but not for sentiment. Everton, their sights on the top
:16:32. > :16:35.six, they face their long time former boss, seeking to make his
:16:36. > :16:40.latest venture that little bit more challenging. Romelu Lukaku's 11
:16:41. > :16:45.minute hat-trick at the Stadium of Light in September were his first
:16:46. > :16:50.goals of the season. He added 14 more since and scored seven times in
:16:51. > :16:55.his career against Sunderland. Like their hosts, the visitors have had
:16:56. > :17:00.two weeks to prepare for today's match, allowing Jordan Pickford to
:17:01. > :17:07.return to full fitness, he retained his position, lost due to a knee
:17:08. > :17:14.injury. Bryan Oviedo starts, less than a month after they left here.
:17:15. > :17:21.Ramiro Funes Mori. It's a big gap there. Baines will try and exploit
:17:22. > :17:26.it. Clever ball. Pickford will just about stop it creeping it over the
:17:27. > :17:29.line. Just a little nervous moment for the goalkeeper returning for his
:17:30. > :17:35.first game in two months. Didn't look as though he should be beaten
:17:36. > :17:37.by the shot. You can see there is no need for goalline technology. He did
:17:38. > :17:44.get there before it crossed the line. The opening goal in any
:17:45. > :17:49.Premier League fixture is often pivotal for a team struggling in the
:17:50. > :17:55.bottom three, it's vital they don't concede it, particularly not early.
:17:56. > :17:59.Wouldn't it be typical of a side in the bottom three if they should
:18:00. > :18:04.concede the opening goal from a corner that they really ought not to
:18:05. > :18:10.have conceded in the first place. It almost does indeed become a reality.
:18:11. > :18:19.Lukaku came sliding in. He was a little bit disappointed it brushed
:18:20. > :18:22.off his shin pad. Well, he had nine top 10 finishes from his seasons in
:18:23. > :18:26.charge of Everton. He had a wonderful spell when he qualified
:18:27. > :18:34.Everton for Europe, four times in five seasons, including once the
:18:35. > :18:38.UEFA Champions League itself. He has got beyond Kone as well. Pickford
:18:39. > :18:43.just about getting something on it. It was probably a combination of his
:18:44. > :18:51.knee and thigh that got it away. He put a foot to the accelerator. A
:18:52. > :18:57.decent stop from Pickford. Baines. Davies.
:18:58. > :19:03.Barkley has made the run. Davies tries to find him. Not sure it was
:19:04. > :19:10.necessarily aimed at Coleman, he gets to it. Here come Idrissa Gueye,
:19:11. > :19:15.and Everton score. Well, in the blink of an eye, all Sunderland's
:19:16. > :19:21.excellent defensive work evaporates and Idrissa Gueye scores his first
:19:22. > :19:25.Everton goal. Gueye, a late arrival, great run from midfield. He plants
:19:26. > :19:31.the ball into the roof of Sunderland's net. Everton, who have
:19:32. > :19:37.been on top, now have the lead. Barkley, good turn.
:19:38. > :19:47.Really good from Barkley. He's been outstanding today, actually. That's
:19:48. > :19:51.another excellent attempt. Right on cue, he almost has the same goal.
:19:52. > :19:55.Denied by another young England star, Jordan Pickford. Barkley
:19:56. > :19:59.really does look like he's oozing with confidence and self-belief.
:20:00. > :20:04.It's a joy to. With a when he's like this. That would have crept in.
:20:05. > :20:14.Barkley himself that takes the corner. Looped into the air. O'Shea
:20:15. > :20:19.clears. Lookman. The referee has given a free-kick to Everton. We are
:20:20. > :20:26.in the final minute of a first half that Everton have dominated, and
:20:27. > :20:30.lead. Clearing header. Schneiderlin. Davies! The outside of the post
:20:31. > :20:33.post. Well, Sunderland could not afford to be two behind at
:20:34. > :20:37.half-time. But they so very nearly were. From a Sunderland perspective,
:20:38. > :20:47.it's still only 1-0. Here's Ndong on the charge for
:20:48. > :20:56.Sunderland. Jermain Defoe can't get to it. Borini. It's cleared for a
:20:57. > :21:03.Sunderland corner. He is not convinced the right decision has
:21:04. > :21:08.been made. He is. O'Shea moving around. Kone gets to it. Claims of a
:21:09. > :21:14.handball from Kone. One or two of the Sunderland players nearest to
:21:15. > :21:21.him. Gibson's ball is a good one. Jones. Jermain Defoe. Strikes
:21:22. > :21:31.Williams. Again there is an appeal for handball. Sunderland keeping
:21:32. > :21:38.Everton hemmed in. Here's Oviedo. A great cross. Headed away by Funes
:21:39. > :21:40.Mori. Here's Januzaj. Better from Sunderland from in the opening
:21:41. > :21:43.moments of the second-half. Here's Oviedo. Away by Coleman. Oviedo,
:21:44. > :21:56.again. Better options than that. There were
:21:57. > :22:01.a couple of half hearted appeals for handball. Cooney's downward header
:22:02. > :22:07.and a second time his arm is by his side. That debate about unnatural
:22:08. > :22:11.position and deliberate. No penalty. They have only scored 1 #0s goals
:22:12. > :22:18.away from home this season, Sunderland, four were against
:22:19. > :22:27.Crystal Palace. Valencia. -- 10. Mirallas. Now Coleman. And it
:22:28. > :22:37.reaches Barkley, who never really met it with any conviction.
:22:38. > :22:44.Ronald Koeman said that Sunderland would be no push over. He will feel
:22:45. > :22:52.his side should be more than just one ahead. Valencia's ball forward.
:22:53. > :22:56.Lukaku takes it. Faced by Kone. Lukaku, good save Pickford.
:22:57. > :23:00.Important save, too. Not had that much to do in the second-half,
:23:01. > :23:07.Jordan Pickford, but when called upon there, he got his angles
:23:08. > :23:16.absolutely right. They are still in this, Sunderland. Here's Funes Mori.
:23:17. > :23:21.Doesn't have anywhere to go here except backwards. Tries to find
:23:22. > :23:29.Schneiderlin. Won by Gibson. Here's Januzaj. Striding purposefully. Now
:23:30. > :23:35.Jill Dando. Jermain Defoe. Is this his moment? You bet it's his moment.
:23:36. > :23:41.Under side of the bar. Borini. Somehow Everton escape. Sunderland
:23:42. > :23:45.within a whisker of grabbing an equaliser that their second-half
:23:46. > :23:50.improve am merited. Well, it just seemed like Defoe was waiting for
:23:51. > :23:56.such an opportunity. He is, what, a ball's width away from giving
:23:57. > :24:07.Sunderland an equaliser. Januzaj's delivery from the corner. Honeyman
:24:08. > :24:13.gets it back. Here's Januzaj, again. Tackled by Gueye. Kept in play. Only
:24:14. > :24:16.as far as Oviedo. Wins it, again, Idrissa Gueye. Mirallas on the
:24:17. > :24:22.counter. It comes Lukaku. Has he got the legs on Oviedo? He has. Oviedo
:24:23. > :24:41.can't stop him. Pickford can't stop him. And Romelu Lukaku, what a 60
:24:42. > :24:44.seconds. Lukaku makes the game safe. He draws level with Duncan Ferguson
:24:45. > :24:49.on 60 Premier League goals for Everton. It's the one which surely
:24:50. > :24:56.gives Everton the points. It's 2-0 now. Defoe hitting the under side of
:24:57. > :25:04.the bar at one end, Lukaku, smuggling it over the line at the
:25:05. > :25:08.other. Just at the exact moment that David Moyes sensed an equaliser.
:25:09. > :25:17.Lukaku, on towards Valencia. He's onside. Good stop by Pickford. You
:25:18. > :25:21.can't underestimate the number of times Pickford has come to
:25:22. > :25:25.Sunderland's rescue as well. 2-0. Where does this leave the race for
:25:26. > :25:32.European places, do you think? I don't know. Still there is a gap
:25:33. > :25:38.between the teams. OK, it's still 12 games to play. You never know. You
:25:39. > :25:41.need to continue and keep the momentum. The team is strong. The
:25:42. > :25:46.team is playing some good football and we have a lot of clean sheets.
:25:47. > :25:50.That makes a lot of points. I was disappointed we lost the first goal.
:25:51. > :25:53.We had tried to come here and frustrate the supporters, keep
:25:54. > :25:58.things quiet. You know, for long we sort of done that. In the end, you
:25:59. > :26:01.know they got the goal. I didn't want us to concede in the
:26:02. > :26:07.second-half. To be fair we grew in the game and made the chance. It
:26:08. > :26:12.didn't go in. A landmark goal Forlan you. Yes. 60 for Everton in the
:26:13. > :26:16.Premier League. I'm happy. I want to keep improving and working hard. The
:26:17. > :26:21.important thing is win the games and improve as a player. Some teams seem
:26:22. > :26:26.to be running into form? We still have our time to run into form as
:26:27. > :26:32.well. Plenty of games to go. Ronald Koeman appears to be developing,
:26:33. > :26:37.well, a kind of young, talented and, I suppose, more dynamic side than we
:26:38. > :26:41.have seen in recent years? Much more dynamic. He took his time with it.
:26:42. > :26:44.Gradually, he's brought in Davies and Schneiderlin. Idrissa Gueye was
:26:45. > :26:48.already there, but in midfield today they were too much to handle for
:26:49. > :26:51.Sunderland. This is in the early stages of the of the game. Linking
:26:52. > :26:56.up, down that right hand side. Davies whipping in the ball there.
:26:57. > :27:00.So mobile they can play in each other's positions. Schneiderlin
:27:01. > :27:05.plays deeper. Winning the ball. They are all flying forward. The energy,
:27:06. > :27:10.the freshness in the team now. Goes out wide eventually to Barkley.
:27:11. > :27:13.Whips it in first time. Lukaku is very unlucky not to get on the end
:27:14. > :27:19.of that. That is the service that Lukaku will thrive on. Davies in a
:27:20. > :27:24.deeper position. He will shank that to the right hand side. He find
:27:25. > :27:26.Coleman. Look is on the end of it, midfield parter in the right
:27:27. > :27:31.position, edge of the box, sticking it in the back of the net. Foraging
:27:32. > :27:35.together in midfield. Davies, Schneiderlin backing him up. Gueye
:27:36. > :27:39.won the ball in the end. Schneiderlin in the deeper role that
:27:40. > :27:45.didn't allow that ball go into the forwards at all. Gueye is the stand
:27:46. > :27:51.out performer within the midfield three pure and simply he did this on
:27:52. > :27:55.a more consistent basis, on the front foot, winning the ball. He
:27:56. > :27:59.created the goal for Lukaku. Brilliant, power and pace sticking
:28:00. > :28:04.the ball in the back of the net, 60th goal. This type of stuff here,
:28:05. > :28:08.on the front again. This is the 88th, 89th minute, 2-0 up, still not
:28:09. > :28:13.happy. Wants to do more for his team. He was very good at finding
:28:14. > :28:16.passes into his front men as well. Run from Valencia. He should do
:28:17. > :28:21.better with this opportunity. Willing runners. McCarthy, they
:28:22. > :28:26.could have squared it to him. Ronald Koeman can be happy with his team's
:28:27. > :28:30.performance and the way the midfield is developing is exciting. You are
:28:31. > :28:35.not sure what Sunderland are trying to achieve on the pitch No, is the
:28:36. > :28:38.simple answer to that. Look at Hull, Swansea, they seem to have found a
:28:39. > :28:41.way of trying to get results of the trying to get themselves out of the
:28:42. > :28:44.situation they are in. When I look at Sunderland I think - do you get
:28:45. > :28:49.it wide and get crossing into the box? Do you play deep and try and
:28:50. > :28:55.play a counter-attacking style of football? No. I'm watching it. I'm
:28:56. > :28:59.confused in terms of what your sfooil style is. Second-half they
:29:00. > :29:04.were much better. Plainly simple their plan of attack is, work hard
:29:05. > :29:08.and get the ball to Jermain Defoe. If he puts it in the back of the net
:29:09. > :29:12.1-1, they have a chance. If he doesn't put it in the back of the
:29:13. > :29:17.net, it can happen. They lose the game. It's literally on injury may's
:29:18. > :29:20.shoulders week in, week out what happens to them. No pressure there
:29:21. > :29:25.Jermaine. Anyway! Bournemouth managers, past
:29:26. > :29:27.and present, met at the Hawthorns The West Brom manager has made
:29:28. > :29:31.a name for himself keeping sides in the top flight and if Howe isn't
:29:32. > :29:43.careful, his current side might be Darren Fletcher plays his 300th
:29:44. > :29:49.Premier League appearance, and Dan McCauley has 500. A hamstring injury
:29:50. > :29:57.for Matt Phillips forces a reshuffle. Bournemouth's defeats in
:29:58. > :30:02.the last few games make these concerning times, but a win would
:30:03. > :30:08.steady their ship. Jack Wilshire has an ankle injury picked up in the
:30:09. > :30:10.game against Manchester City. Marc Pugh comes in for Jordon Ibe who has
:30:11. > :30:26.an injury. Here is Daniels, to Wilshere, then
:30:27. > :30:31.Pugh. That is switched away to Fraser on the outside, and a penalty
:30:32. > :30:37.at! Leaning down on the Bournemouth player, the defender exposed by the
:30:38. > :30:41.pace of little Ryan Fraser, news always struggling. The right time
:30:42. > :30:45.came across, West Brom might see it as soft, but Bournemouth will have
:30:46. > :30:50.no concerns whatsoever about that, and it will be Josh King from the
:30:51. > :30:55.spot with the rain pouring down who puts Bournemouth 1-0 up. What a
:30:56. > :30:59.great start for them on a important weekend. If they can get a win, it
:31:00. > :31:05.will open up a buffer zone again to the bottom three, who are six points
:31:06. > :31:09.behind them this morning. Haphazard defending by the full-back, need
:31:10. > :31:15.penalty. Here is front, in towards one gone.
:31:16. > :31:30.Towards Rondon. There was roaring from some West Brom fans who thought
:31:31. > :31:35.it was in. Chris Brunt on the right-hand side, could get it to his
:31:36. > :31:40.favoured left and have a go. West Bromwich Albion stunned by the goal,
:31:41. > :31:45.quite clearly. Smith allowed to come inside, and will have a go at goal,
:31:46. > :31:50.and it is splendidly tipped over by the goalkeeper. Scored here last
:31:51. > :31:57.season in their 2-1 win with a similar run. Lovely safe, great
:31:58. > :32:01.start for Eddie Howe. He was in the youth team when Tony Pulis was
:32:02. > :32:05.manager at Bournemouth, signed pro, made his debut just after Tony had
:32:06. > :32:10.left the club, and what a Bournemouth man he has been,
:32:11. > :32:19.involved in 623 Bournemouth games as manager or player. Remarkable. Nacer
:32:20. > :32:25.Chadli. He brings in Dawson, it is difficult, and it is 1-1! The curled
:32:26. > :32:30.beyond the goalkeeper, what a start, two goals in the opening few
:32:31. > :32:35.minutes. Allowed to pick it up and drive in the first of his season,
:32:36. > :32:39.but watch the deflection, Dawson arriving from the deep position, and
:32:40. > :32:47.it looped up and off Charlie Daniels to beat the goalkeeper. One apiece.
:32:48. > :32:58.It is given away here by Bournemouth, and Rondon, but what a
:32:59. > :33:00.brilliant block by Cook. Once more in position, Fletcher rolls it back.
:33:01. > :33:19.It was just wide off the deflection, Arter flung himself at it, and what
:33:20. > :33:28.a mistake from the goalkeeper! How about this for celebrations. Gareth
:33:29. > :33:31.McAuley, 500 games in English football, a long and distinguished
:33:32. > :33:35.career, and he celebrates with a goal, and that is seven for the
:33:36. > :33:42.defender this season, and a nightmare for Artur Boruc. Yes, he
:33:43. > :33:49.was blocked off, but the punch was feeble, and lifted into the roof of
:33:50. > :33:54.the net by the defender. Horrible goalkeeping error. Individual errors
:33:55. > :34:04.have cost Bournemouth so dearly in 2017. Mings, they have to make a
:34:05. > :34:08.decision, the referee checks with the assistant, no foul given. There
:34:09. > :34:15.was too much hesitation about that Bournemouth defence again. Cook is
:34:16. > :34:19.making no attempt to play the ball, the referee having nothing of the
:34:20. > :34:28.appeal, though. Bournemouth may accept they got lucky. This is
:34:29. > :34:31.dangerous, Rondon has gone in behind him, what is the referee going to
:34:32. > :34:34.give here? I think he played the ball, and the referee agrees.
:34:35. > :34:43.Last-ditch defending for Bournemouth. Rondon gets goal side,
:34:44. > :34:46.but he played the ball, and it is the correct decision by Mark
:34:47. > :34:52.Clattenburg. Got it absolutely spot on. West Brom just dropping off,
:34:53. > :35:02.forming their rank. A little space here now for Fraser.
:35:03. > :35:07.It is nearly came all the way through to Pugh, just a glance took
:35:08. > :35:11.it away. That might have made a big difference as it comes in towards
:35:12. > :35:17.Wilshere, just a little nick away by Gareth McAuley.
:35:18. > :35:22.Dawson through a rather weak challenge, that is the run that
:35:23. > :35:27.Rondon has been making all week long. And Acorn is given. To be fair
:35:28. > :35:36.to the Bournemouth centre-backs, they have lacked great production.
:35:37. > :35:41.-- a corner is given. It is aimed at the far post, Mings has got up well,
:35:42. > :35:45.and the header off the top of the bar, and that man again, Gareth
:35:46. > :35:53.McAuley, his second in the game, and it's in now! Chadli nudges it in,
:35:54. > :36:00.and the referee will go and check, because is he offside? He looks
:36:01. > :36:05.really not too good at all. I think if Chadli did not touch this, the
:36:06. > :36:08.goal will be given. That is the first header by McCauley of the bar,
:36:09. > :36:15.and when it comes in again, that is where Dawson in heading the ball on
:36:16. > :36:20.gets absolutely clattered. He is in an offside position as he nudges the
:36:21. > :36:23.ball forward, and that is why the goal is disallowed, and had he not
:36:24. > :36:29.touched it, Dawson's header would have gone in and it would have
:36:30. > :36:37.counted. Dawson can play no further part, that was a terrific bump to
:36:38. > :36:47.the head. This has been cagey, more tactical in the second half. Rondon
:36:48. > :36:53.was too strong therefore Gosling. Comes up, McClean again, good
:36:54. > :36:58.defending by Smith, kept his eyes on the ball not on the player's
:36:59. > :37:08.movement. That has kept it at 2-1, and kept Bournemouth in the game.
:37:09. > :37:16.Daniels, can they get one last quality cross in, Bournemouth? Could
:37:17. > :37:22.save! Found the space, but good goalkeeping.
:37:23. > :37:35.Mousset, the challenge there, and he is left to fill in on the challenge,
:37:36. > :37:43.McClean. Artur Boruc has come up, and he is not being marked. Is it
:37:44. > :37:50.in? Know, a superb effort by Mings, and Ben Foster kept West Bromwich
:37:51. > :37:55.Albion ahead. They are both goalkeepers, and it is Ben Foster
:37:56. > :38:01.who comes out on top, but for Eddie Howe it is 60 feet in seven now,
:38:02. > :38:04.worrying times ahead. You are always a little bit nervous that they will
:38:05. > :38:08.come back and have their opportunities and chances, and they
:38:09. > :38:10.didn't the last few minutes of the game, but generally, one
:38:11. > :38:15.disappointment, the opportunities and the chances again that we have
:38:16. > :38:19.created, we have to be more clinical. The first goal was
:38:20. > :38:24.deflected, the second goal and error, individual errors have cost
:38:25. > :38:28.you dearly? You will find that, there are errors from the team, it
:38:29. > :38:34.is different players, and that is why we have to take collective
:38:35. > :38:42.responsibility. We will be a much better team from this. Top scorer,
:38:43. > :38:46.Gareth McAuley? He has been flying this season, a great player, and we
:38:47. > :38:50.work hard on our set pieces, and he wants to go and attack the ball and
:38:51. > :38:53.that is why he gets his rewards. I love it and I have the desire to
:38:54. > :39:00.keep in it. If submitted giving me a job that I will keep playing!
:39:01. > :39:03.Good for you. It was end-to-end stuff which you get with
:39:04. > :39:08.Bournemouth, but it really boil down to the tale of two keepers in the
:39:09. > :39:12.end. It did, another individual error from Bournemouth, but this
:39:13. > :39:18.time the goalkeeper gifted the goal to McCauley. It has happened so many
:39:19. > :39:21.times this season, he comes for the punch, there is traffic in and
:39:22. > :39:29.around, but there is no excuse for that. It is a simple tap in for
:39:30. > :39:37.McCauley again. It is a simple chance for them, gifted the goal,
:39:38. > :39:42.1-0 up. They have to do much better, it is as simple as that, and to be
:39:43. > :39:48.fair, at the other end, Ben Foster is in fine form. He moves his feet
:39:49. > :39:52.brilliantly to get across to this. Fantastic to get across and tip that
:39:53. > :39:56.one over, and the huge celebrations with the players jumping on his
:39:57. > :40:01.back. 40 points already for West Brom and Tony Pulis. He has done one
:40:02. > :40:05.hell of a job. And 49 is their record in the Premier League, 12
:40:06. > :40:09.games to go to beat that, I'm pretty sure they will do it. He is having
:40:10. > :40:14.one hell of a season, he and the team have been brilliant. In
:40:15. > :40:18.contrast, Bournemouth with one win in ten, four consecutive defeats in
:40:19. > :40:22.the lead. They have the second worst defensive record in the league, it
:40:23. > :40:28.is as simple as that, only Swansea have a worse record. They concede an
:40:29. > :40:33.average two goals in a game, Manchester United away next week.
:40:34. > :40:37.Sometimes it is easy if you are able to score goals, to adjust things at
:40:38. > :40:42.the back, but if you can't score, then that is an issue. It is, but
:40:43. > :40:45.based on what we have just spoken about with all the errors they
:40:46. > :40:49.create, they need to cut that out and eventually they will be OK.
:40:50. > :40:51.Selhurst Park might not be the number one choice for thrills
:40:52. > :40:53.and spills this weekend, but the Crystal Palace
:40:54. > :40:55.v Middlesbrough match was one of huge importance.
:40:56. > :40:57.Palace have lost their last five league home games.
:40:58. > :40:59.Boro have only scored two goals this year.
:41:00. > :41:15.COMMENTATOR: Crystal Palace fans keeping an evil eye on those around
:41:16. > :41:18.them on the table, Mamadou Sakho making his debut ten months after
:41:19. > :41:27.his last game for Liverpool, but this is a team that has won just one
:41:28. > :41:33.of its last 11 games. Boro's recent record is one win in ten, but hardly
:41:34. > :41:49.a cause for celebration. Gassed on's first start after a possible move to
:41:50. > :41:52.Leicester. Zaha. Taking an Ayala, and a few appeals from Crystal
:41:53. > :41:59.Palace fans behind that goal for a push on Zaha who is so quick. He
:42:00. > :42:03.certainly did lean into him, there is no question about it. Benteke's
:42:04. > :42:22.header. Puncheon to van Aanholt. And Benteke rose brilliantly, and
:42:23. > :42:28.seemed to hang their direct in the midriff of Valdes, two managers
:42:29. > :42:39.under pressure, but then, aren't they all? Tomkins, curled in towards
:42:40. > :42:44.Benteke on the turn, good save. It is handball, it won't be counted. It
:42:45. > :42:54.certainly hit his right wrist, I'm not sure he intended it to. Gaston
:42:55. > :42:58.Ramirez, Negredo, and around the corner to Downing. Three in the
:42:59. > :43:09.middle here, lofted up towards Negredo, chance on the turn. Still
:43:10. > :43:12.on the -- Stuani couldn't put it away, lovely piece of football from
:43:13. > :43:19.Middlesbrough. Mamadou Sakho just up got his toe to it, did well. Only
:43:20. > :43:25.three goals in the last eight Premier League games in which they
:43:26. > :43:32.failed to win. Zaha's flick, Cabaye, well covered. Ayala's header, and
:43:33. > :43:38.van Aanholt on his right foot has budgeted! Patrick van Aanholt's
:43:39. > :43:43.first goal for the club. Off his left foot, you would have backed
:43:44. > :43:49.him. Off his right, I think he is as surprised as anybody. Deflected back
:43:50. > :43:55.into van Aanholt's path, and swept into the corner. Crystal Palace 1-0
:43:56. > :43:58.Middlesbrough. Vital for a Crystal Palace team who have taken only
:43:59. > :44:04.seven points at home in the Premier League so far this season.
:44:05. > :44:19.That was well won by pension. -- Jason Puncheon. Certainly Valdes
:44:20. > :44:26.would have had this covered, but credit Puncheon for winning it. Sam
:44:27. > :44:30.Allardyce has been through this particular mangled many a time, and
:44:31. > :44:36.he normally comes out nice and clean and smelling of roses.
:44:37. > :44:46.Stuani away, then blocked by Tomkins. Sakho was calm, Tomkins
:44:47. > :44:52.slightly less so, I don't think he wanted that from Sakho. Here is
:44:53. > :44:57.Gaston Ramirez, Stewart Downing. For sure is trying to get underneath it,
:44:58. > :45:03.the chances blocked by Hennesey. They got lucky here, Palace. Well
:45:04. > :45:05.hit by Stuani. It is just unfortunate that where the ball went
:45:06. > :45:14.is exactly where Hennesey was standing.
:45:15. > :45:19.Away from Gaston Ramirez. Again, beautifully played into McArthur.
:45:20. > :45:24.Couldn't get the shot away. Gibson did well to get his body between
:45:25. > :45:29.McArthur and the ball. That was really dangerous. Almost scored
:45:30. > :45:40.seconds after coming on the pitch. Still to all to play for the Boro
:45:41. > :45:45.boss. Stuani is saying handball. He thinks he should be getting a
:45:46. > :45:52.penalty. Bobby Madly right on-the-spot here. No, you can't give
:45:53. > :45:59.that. Middlesbrough corner. Missed by Hennessey. Gibson back across
:46:00. > :46:05.ball. Puncheon, away. A little bit lucky there, the Palace goalkeeper.
:46:06. > :46:14.Here's Zaha. Townsend ahead of him to the left. Benteke, to the right.
:46:15. > :46:23.Collision between Ramirez Fabio allowed him back on to. Benteke,
:46:24. > :46:32.still. Blocked in the end Ayala. He was beaten all end up.
:46:33. > :46:45.Benteke on the back, missed by Ayala. Benteke, still. Downing, has
:46:46. > :46:51.he turned into trouble? He has. The referee has given it the other way.
:46:52. > :46:54.He said the Palace man dived here. Stewart Downing certainly turned
:46:55. > :47:02.himself into trouble here. He's got time here. He then turns into some
:47:03. > :47:05.right bother. He's caught him. He's definitely caught him, Stewart
:47:06. > :47:11.Downing. The Palace man gets a yellow card. Launched away to
:47:12. > :47:16.Gestede, trying to get himself in front of Sakho. Here's bib Gibson.
:47:17. > :47:27.Downing is away on the left hand side. Here's Benteke. Townsend is
:47:28. > :47:31.with him. Benteke. Benteke, into Andros Townsend. Well, he could have
:47:32. > :47:38.knocked that up to the back post. That is what Benteke was looking
:47:39. > :47:42.for. Townsend with a wild lash. I got the feeling to go forward. I
:47:43. > :47:46.have the capability to score goals. I showed it last season. I'm showing
:47:47. > :47:50.it this season again. I did it today again. It's the winning goal. It's
:47:51. > :47:56.never been a big Erwin for us this season I think than this one. It
:47:57. > :48:01.lays to rest, for the home fans particularly, that Sunderland game
:48:02. > :48:05.the last time we played. Big victory. Hopefully we can move on
:48:06. > :48:11.from there. We have to keep going together. We started together, and
:48:12. > :48:15.we will finish together. So we know that we will have the experience
:48:16. > :48:20.other teams have. We don't have the money other teams have to spend. The
:48:21. > :48:24.only tool we have is to keep working together. Good fashioned six
:48:25. > :48:34.pointer. Crystal Palace got the three points. A vital win for them
:48:35. > :48:39.nevertheless, wasn't it? It was almost Big Samesque? It deserves the
:48:40. > :48:43.points. I thought they were the better team throughout. I thought it
:48:44. > :48:47.was a better team performance. They understood what each other's roles
:48:48. > :48:51.were. How they were going to play the game, what they wanted from each
:48:52. > :48:55.other. They were more direct. They didn't hesitate at all to get balls
:48:56. > :49:00.into the box. They knew, I think, they had to do that. Patrick van
:49:01. > :49:04.Aanholt got a very good goal. Down the left hand side, again. No other
:49:05. > :49:08.thought than, get the ball into the box to Benteke. Should have done
:49:09. > :49:12.better. Should have put it in the back of the net. From the right
:49:13. > :49:17.side, ball into the box, again. That was their first thought - can we hit
:49:18. > :49:21.the big man if there is nobodies around him? Get it up to him, see
:49:22. > :49:26.what he can do. Good turn, good shot. Second-half that didn't change
:49:27. > :49:29.either, to be honest. Up on his own again. Not a lot of people around
:49:30. > :49:32.him, support. He does enough. They thorough thrill deserved the three
:49:33. > :49:36.points today. It was three massive points for them. They could have
:49:37. > :49:43.doubled their lead, couldn't they, but for a dubious penalty decision?
:49:44. > :49:49.Dubious? That is very kind. I don't know how Kop Bobby Madly had not
:49:50. > :49:52.seen this one. Poor decision. Given Palace situation and desperation
:49:53. > :49:56.they would have loved to have the two goal cushion. McArthur gets to
:49:57. > :49:59.the ball first am you can see Bobby's position with his assistant
:50:00. > :50:04.on the other side. Clear view of the incident. How none of them have
:50:05. > :50:08.managed to give it. They not only give the right decision. We get
:50:09. > :50:13.another look at it. Clear touch from McArthur. Downing makes the foul.
:50:14. > :50:17.But they've booked McArthur on top of that for diving. I mean, it is's
:50:18. > :50:22.a poor decision. Like I said, I think tensions have been high down
:50:23. > :50:25.at Selhurst Park they could have done with that two goal cushion. We
:50:26. > :50:29.agree on that one. Sglm we do, yeah. As for Middlesbrough, they are the
:50:30. > :50:33.opposite, aren't they, of Bournemouth. In the sense they are
:50:34. > :50:37.pretty well-organised. Don't concede many goals, at the same time they
:50:38. > :50:41.don't look like scoring a goal? We say the same thing everything week
:50:42. > :50:44.about Middlesbrough. 19 goals, 26 games. Haven't won in the league
:50:45. > :50:48.since mid December. Haven't won in nine. Not scored in the last three.
:50:49. > :50:53.In a slump. In big trouble, I think. Palace's win drops Leicester
:50:54. > :51:22.into the bottom three Leicester will feature in the game.
:51:23. > :51:25.It gives us a chance to talk about the demissal that bagged the
:51:26. > :51:30.headlines this week of Claudio Ranieri. What is your view, Alan? I
:51:31. > :51:34.didn't need the sacking of Ranieri to tell me the players weren't
:51:35. > :51:39.working for them. I have been saying it for the last two three months
:51:40. > :51:43.that the players aren't working for him. What I would say to the
:51:44. > :51:46.Leicester players. Look in the mirror and ask a question - have I
:51:47. > :51:50.worked as hard as I could and given the manager everything? I would
:51:51. > :51:54.pretty much say for the vast majority of that Leicester squad the
:51:55. > :52:00.answer answer is no. They could do more, I'm certain of that. I feel
:52:01. > :52:06.the timing was ludicrous. Gone to Sevilla it could have been a tough
:52:07. > :52:09.result... It might be a watershed moment coming back - It was
:52:10. > :52:13.Leicester back to their best defensively. Something was mores
:52:14. > :52:17.positive. Give the man an opportunity to keep the team in the
:52:18. > :52:20.Premier League. Does it take away the magic of last season, the
:52:21. > :52:24.goodwill that the whole country, large parts of the world, had for
:52:25. > :52:35.the club to do something that so sudden and so stark as that? Fans
:52:36. > :52:38.will get over that, I'm sure. We saw what happened with Chelsea, they got
:52:39. > :52:44.back to inwithing ways. Fans for get. You should never ever for get
:52:45. > :52:47.what happened last season. It's the best thing that ever happened and
:52:48. > :52:51.will happen in the Premier League, a team like Leicester achieving what
:52:52. > :52:55.they did. I certainly concur with that.
:52:56. > :52:57.Marco Silva's impact at Hull cannot be underestimated as confidence
:52:58. > :53:00.and hope has returned to the side as they fight against relegation.
:53:01. > :53:02.They welcomed Burnley, who have secured just a single
:53:03. > :53:11.COMMENTATOR: Hull are back believing, again. Silva has restored
:53:12. > :53:14.faith and points as he looks to lead Hull to three consecutive home wins
:53:15. > :53:21.in the Premier League for the first time and in doing so out of the
:53:22. > :53:25.relegation zone. The Hull boss is without Sam Clucas and Markovic he
:53:26. > :53:29.can welcome back Mbokani after illness. He plays under Marco Silva
:53:30. > :53:35.under the first time. Burnley refer back to the team that drew with
:53:36. > :53:41.Chelsea. Two names returning, Robbie braidly fresh from his debut goal
:53:42. > :53:48.against the leaders and George Boyd who helped Hull into the Premier
:53:49. > :53:51.League at their time at the club. They have been relegated and
:53:52. > :53:54.promoted together. What a huge incentive for Hull with a victory to
:53:55. > :54:00.take them out of the relegation zone. Away by Huddlestone. Hull
:54:01. > :54:21.relieved as McGuire trots back on. N'Diaye and Barton. Brady's
:54:22. > :54:28.free-kick. In came Ben Mee. It came off the post. A goal kick at the end
:54:29. > :54:37.of it. He picked up Ben Mee. He didn't hold what should have been a
:54:38. > :54:50.routine catch. In the end it came off Ashley Barnes yesterday. They --
:54:51. > :54:55.Maloney, Huddlestone. Pulled back. Westwood will get the yellow card.
:54:56. > :54:59.Hull get a free-kick. I don't think this one is up for debate. This is a
:55:00. > :55:18.fairway out. Dipping, but not quite dipping
:55:19. > :55:23.enough. Had Tom Heaton moving. Decent try. Westwood. Looking for
:55:24. > :55:29.the ball over the top to Gray. Brilliant take, good try. Just
:55:30. > :55:35.couldn't find the target. Beautifully timed run. Lovely first
:55:36. > :55:43.touch. Just drifted across the face. The clearest opportunity of this
:55:44. > :55:47.game so far. They have scored 22 league goals, second-lowest in the
:55:48. > :55:58.division. His team, have only five away goals all season.
:55:59. > :56:15.Elmohamady, suddenly Mbokani with space. Grosicki, over. That's Hull's
:56:16. > :56:18.biggest chance. The Polish international couldn't take it. At
:56:19. > :56:25.last, this game is beginning to open up.
:56:26. > :56:38.Useful cross from the central defender. It's fallen for Grosicki.
:56:39. > :56:42.His first touch let him down. It's still potentially alive. Touch on
:56:43. > :56:47.the way through, it's a Hull corner. The early cross from the central
:56:48. > :56:53.defender surprised Burnley here. It just clipped off Westwood.
:56:54. > :57:03.Grosicki's corner. McGuire came in. Appeals for handball. It's been
:57:04. > :57:10.given. He says penalty, yellow card, Ashley Barnes. It's Michael Keane
:57:11. > :57:16.the offender. Leading with his arm. It's a good spot from Martin
:57:17. > :57:22.Atkinson. Barnes' yellow card was for dissent. 19 minutes remaining.
:57:23. > :57:24.Bul Hull have scored both their Premier League penalties this
:57:25. > :57:31.season. Tom Huddlestone has the responsibility here. Against Tom
:57:32. > :57:35.Heaton. It could be a big moment. Oh, and it's in. Tom Heaton thought
:57:36. > :57:45.he'd kept it out. Relief for Huddlestone and for Hull. 72 minutes
:57:46. > :57:53.gone. And Hull have the lead. Heaton left frustrated. He thought he'd
:57:54. > :57:58.just pushed that round the post. Instead, he just helped it into the
:57:59. > :58:02.back of the net. The most important thing for Marco Silva and Hull is
:58:03. > :58:06.that it went in. Burnley have not won a Premier League game under Sean
:58:07. > :58:14.Dyche when they've conceded the first goal, in 34 of them. Here's
:58:15. > :58:18.Gray. Robbie Brady's cross was an excellent one, as was the
:58:19. > :58:27.interception from Harry McGuire. He's been a rock back there for Hull
:58:28. > :58:34.again today. Brady with him. Through to Keane! Would you believe it, the
:58:35. > :58:40.man who gave away the penalty at one end has equalised at the other. Just
:58:41. > :58:50.his second ever Premier League goal. It's got Burnley back on terms. Hull
:58:51. > :58:53.didn't deal with it. He hammered it past Jakupovic. Hull 1, Burnley 1.
:58:54. > :59:12.Perfect response. Elmohamady takes over. Away by
:59:13. > :59:15.Lowton. Clears it for Burnley. He got a blow in the face there. A
:59:16. > :59:26.second yellow card for Barnes, and he's off. Ashley Barnes sent off for
:59:27. > :59:32.barnly in stoppage-time. He did have a little look there and caught
:59:33. > :59:42.Ranocchia in the face. In from Huddlestone. Ranocchia's head down.
:59:43. > :59:46.Oh, he had the swing. That is the opportunity missed for Hull to win
:59:47. > :59:53.the game and temporarily move out of the bottom three.
:59:54. > :00:05.Having gone in front, is it frustrating to just get a point?
:00:06. > :00:09.Yes, it is frustrating. During 95 minutes, it is not easy for all
:00:10. > :00:15.teams to play against them. We try to put our football on the pitch, to
:00:16. > :00:19.put our ideas there. A lot is being made about our away form, we took
:00:20. > :00:24.the game on, we created chances, we had the golden chance of the game.
:00:25. > :00:27.The first half, we made so many good opportunities, but we failed with
:00:28. > :00:32.the final moment of quality in the top third of the pitch, but in
:00:33. > :00:37.general, to come back with the amazing character we have got in the
:00:38. > :00:40.team, I am very pleased with that. I am obviously disappointed to give a
:00:41. > :00:48.weather penalty, I thought it was harsh. I got a push in the back, and
:00:49. > :00:52.it pushed my arm towards the ball, and unfortunately that went against
:00:53. > :00:55.us today, but to respond straightaway with a goal, we are
:00:56. > :00:58.strong from set plays, the great Hall in, and I think they took a
:00:59. > :01:11.good first touch. No question who the chief
:01:12. > :01:15.protagonist was. It was a crazy five minutes for him and what was
:01:16. > :01:19.probably quite a dull game. He mentioned he got a push in the back.
:01:20. > :01:23.I don't think it was that much of a push, not enough for him to stick
:01:24. > :01:28.his hand out in the way that he did. It is not clear in that one, but you
:01:29. > :01:35.can see here, the ball is about to hit Maguire's head, so he is
:01:36. > :01:41.stopping a held player get on the ball. It is the right incision from
:01:42. > :01:53.Martin Atkinson to give the penalty. Tom Huddlestone comes up, and he
:01:54. > :01:56.goes down the other end, and his twin brother will be proud of his
:01:57. > :02:00.defensive brother, his quality to bring that down on his chest and put
:02:01. > :02:05.that in the back of the net. A fantastic finish. Very, very good
:02:06. > :02:11.finish. He has a team back in the game, and ended a run of defeats
:02:12. > :02:15.away from home. And Hull have become difficult to beat. He has them
:02:16. > :02:19.organised, but I think they are up against it.
:02:20. > :02:22.There are a few things to look out for this week.
:02:23. > :02:25.Radio 5 Live will have commentary of the EFL Cup Final
:02:26. > :02:26.as Manchester United take on Southampton.
:02:27. > :02:29.More live action from the FA Cup on Wednesday night as free-scoring
:02:30. > :02:31.Manchester City take on Huddersfield in a tricky replay.
:02:32. > :02:33.And, coverage from Serbia of Athletics' European Indoor
:02:34. > :02:45.Championships gets underway on BBC Two from Friday morning.
:02:46. > :02:59.COMMENTATOR: Scholes goes into the middle, and Dwight Yorke is there!
:03:00. > :03:00.Dwight Yorke, he is on his hat-trick, a great chance for 3-1.
:03:01. > :03:07.What a great hat-trick. When Watford and West Ham met
:03:08. > :03:13.earlier in the season, it was a six goal thriller and kick
:03:14. > :03:15.started Watford's season. West Ham were struggling
:03:16. > :03:17.at the time, but have Martin Fisher watched
:03:18. > :03:30.at Vicarage Road. COMMENTATOR: Troy Deeney accused
:03:31. > :03:34.West Ham of showboating at 2-0 up, and Watford stormed back to win 4-2
:03:35. > :03:39.to climb back out of the relegation zone, and haven't been in any real
:03:40. > :03:41.trouble since. Personally he is back in the goals with three of his last
:03:42. > :03:59.four outings. Juris -- Joseph West Ham have yet to keep a clean
:04:00. > :04:04.sheet since the Portuguese joint. A victory would take them above West
:04:05. > :04:16.Ham in the table. Deeney is in behind Fonte. They have got a block
:04:17. > :04:23.in, Zarate goes down, penalty! The referee pointed to the spot inside
:04:24. > :04:25.two minutes. The diminutive Argentine has given Watford the
:04:26. > :04:31.perfect opportunity to take an early lead here. He scored seven of his
:04:32. > :04:36.last eight penalty kicks, Troy Deeney, the one blot on his copybook
:04:37. > :04:42.was at Upton Park back in April. He doesn't miss this one. Into the
:04:43. > :04:44.bottom corner, and Troy Deeney's eighth in the campaign looks the
:04:45. > :04:49.perfect penalty. The manager dent even watch what was
:04:50. > :05:03.unfolding. Zarate has done well, and plenty of
:05:04. > :05:10.power in that shot, but it was always rising. Slaven Bilic took his
:05:11. > :05:13.players to Dubai in the interval between their last game and this
:05:14. > :05:19.one, he was keen to stress that they did train every day. Feghouli
:05:20. > :05:25.tussling with Holebas, and he has got the better and picked out
:05:26. > :05:28.Snodgrass. What an opportunity from Robert Snodgrass, poor defending
:05:29. > :05:44.from Holebas, and when Snodgrass was picked out, it is Kaboul who has got
:05:45. > :05:54.the shot. Antonio ploughed on, but is denied. The determination here,
:05:55. > :06:07.not a little skill from Antonio. He stayed on his feet. Here is Querrey
:06:08. > :06:14.Arte. Noble lucky for Feghouli, and it is away by Janmaat. West Ham
:06:15. > :06:22.press for the equaliser, Creswell with the cross, and it wouldn't
:06:23. > :06:25.quite drop for Snodgrass. The referee has now spotted that Zarate
:06:26. > :06:37.is down and needs attention. What a chance here for West Ham, Gomes
:06:38. > :06:41.could only push it out. A problem for Zarate, he went down after that
:06:42. > :06:47.challenge from Feghouli, and this looks nasty. The knee just seems to
:06:48. > :06:53.have called underneath him, and applause all around the ground as he
:06:54. > :06:56.is stretchered off the pitch. What a blow to him personally, signed last
:06:57. > :07:06.month, this only his third game for Watford.
:07:07. > :07:20.Watford players hugely irritated by that challenge, it is a level for
:07:21. > :07:27.Antonia. It is a sore leg for Behrami. Kouyate on the far side.
:07:28. > :07:32.Piatti has gone for the return, tried to get in behind, and he might
:07:33. > :07:40.just do so. He goes down, and the whistle goes and Watford's favour.
:07:41. > :07:45.Kouyate who was involved in the incident in that penalty area to
:07:46. > :07:53.concede in the first half. On the far side, Kouyate is well forward
:07:54. > :07:56.again against Holebas. Beaten by Tom Cleverley, and cheering from the
:07:57. > :08:02.West Ham fans behind that goal as West Ham are given a free kick.
:08:03. > :08:09.Fonte attacking many opposed, Antonia couldn't go, and what a save
:08:10. > :08:21.by Gomes! Great athleticism here from Gomes. It is not quite
:08:22. > :08:27.happening for Bilic again. Might Creswell provide the opportunity? It
:08:28. > :08:36.is a quality ball in from Creswell, but Antonio couldn't guide it home.
:08:37. > :08:42.In the 72nd minute, Vicarage Road stands to remember Graham Taylor.
:08:43. > :08:49.Now, can Ayew just help that an? Yes, he can. Antonia will look to
:08:50. > :09:00.burst away, he hasn't lost it yet, and Ayew! West Ham United level the
:09:01. > :09:07.score at 1-1, and Andre Ayew gets his second goal in claret and blue.
:09:08. > :09:16.Produced a wonderful shot, and the rebound favours West Ham United.
:09:17. > :09:24.1-1. Lanzini for West Ham. The pass wasn't good enough for him. Antonia
:09:25. > :09:28.slipped to the ground, and Watford players felt that he handled it. It
:09:29. > :09:35.is a yellow card, and having already been booked, Antonia is off. More
:09:36. > :09:36.frustration for Slaven Bilic. He is having a look again, definite
:09:37. > :09:54.handball, silly from Antonio. That was won by Behrami, but Success
:09:55. > :09:55.was fouled. This might be the last chance for either of these sides to
:09:56. > :10:13.win this game. Corner given. Final touch of the
:10:14. > :10:21.Solder of Kouyate -- the shoulder of Querrey Arte. It goes right across,
:10:22. > :10:26.and is hooked away. In goes Holebas, West Ham can't clear it, still the
:10:27. > :10:31.chance, and Success sends it wide, and referee Craig Pawson blows her
:10:32. > :10:36.time, and West Ham just about hang on.
:10:37. > :10:46.Can we just check on the progress of Zarate, any news on his condition as
:10:47. > :10:51.yet? I saw him in a lot of pain, and also a bit worried. This is not a
:10:52. > :10:57.good sign, but he was also making a difference on the pitch, so
:10:58. > :11:01.hopefully it is not too bad. It is a good point, especially it is hard to
:11:02. > :11:09.come back away, but on the other hand, if you ask me which team today
:11:10. > :11:13.showed more quality, basically more quality in every department,
:11:14. > :11:18.especially on the ball, that was us, especially in the second half. We
:11:19. > :11:22.can't get to a point where we think we are safe, and is definitely a
:11:23. > :11:25.game of two halves. We had the better of the first half and they
:11:26. > :11:31.dominated the second, so fair result, just one of those games.
:11:32. > :11:39.Honours even, couple of penalty decisions to look at, Jermaine. Very
:11:40. > :11:43.similar, the first one, Zarate who had a big influence on this game
:11:44. > :11:48.until he unfortunately went off with what looked like a terrible injury,
:11:49. > :11:55.but it is just clumsy, we Arte stamps on his heel and it was the
:11:56. > :12:03.right decision from Pawson. Niang getting himself into a bad has
:12:04. > :12:06.issued with Kouyate, he could get there but he is being obstructed, so
:12:07. > :12:12.I think that is a penalty. That should have been a penalty. I think
:12:13. > :12:15.Slaven thinks that as well. That was calm for him! West Ham struggling in
:12:16. > :12:17.the sense that they haven't gotten out and out striker with Andy
:12:18. > :12:24.Carroll injured, and is that showing? It did a large parts of
:12:25. > :12:27.this, and not through lack of effort, because I thought Antonia
:12:28. > :12:34.Gega think that he had, but just running out of options. When you
:12:35. > :12:39.pick up your head, you want somebody to run in with you, and it wasn't
:12:40. > :12:45.quite happening. Pace, power, energy to get down the left-hand side. Your
:12:46. > :12:49.he does it anyway. But when he looks up there, he needs people in the
:12:50. > :12:54.box, and Feghouli and Snodgrass are just a little too late. And the
:12:55. > :12:58.chance has now gone, exactly the same thing happens on the left
:12:59. > :13:02.again, Snodgrass, and again two players should be in the box, but
:13:03. > :13:09.they are not, and the chance goes again. But a hopeful ball forward,
:13:10. > :13:14.there isn't a lot he could do with that, Antonia, just try to push them
:13:15. > :13:17.under pressure, but when Ayew came on, second-half, the one bit of
:13:18. > :13:24.quality and the determination to get in the box change, brilliant run
:13:25. > :13:29.from Antonio, unlucky not to going, and they definitely deserved that.
:13:30. > :13:33.Both of these teams, you would imagine, would finish in the middle
