:00:19. > :00:24.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:25. > :00:30.COMMENTATOR: Just brilliant, just brilliant!
:00:31. > :00:36.COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal!
:00:37. > :00:50.COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that!
:00:51. > :00:57.COMMENTATOR: Dele Alli. Eden Hazard. Ozil. Kevin
:00:58. > :01:05.De Bruyne. Just one point. Early days, but the Premier League
:01:06. > :01:09.is shaping up rather nicely. Just one point separates the top
:01:10. > :01:11.five, we'll see four Much for Right Said
:01:12. > :01:15.Fred to discuss. Bottom side Sunderland knew defeat
:01:16. > :01:19.in the early game against Arsenal would see them equal the worst start
:01:20. > :01:22.in Premier League history. The Gunners arrived at the Stadium
:01:23. > :01:38.of Light unbeaten in eight. Things can only get better for David
:01:39. > :01:41.Moyes, at the end of the week that has seen him sent to the stands,
:01:42. > :01:45.charged by the FA and having his team playing cancelled on the way
:01:46. > :01:50.back from Southampton. His latest challenge is to face and Arsenal
:01:51. > :01:54.team unbeaten in 13 games in all competitions. David Moyes makes just
:01:55. > :01:57.one change to the side beaten at West Ham last week, Billy Jones
:01:58. > :02:01.starts for the first time this season and defence, Jermain Defoe is
:02:02. > :02:09.only one of two Sunderland goal-scorers in the Premier League
:02:10. > :02:11.this season, but he's only scored twice in 21 career games against
:02:12. > :02:14.Arsenal. The Gunners without Santi Cazorla and have top scorer Theo
:02:15. > :02:16.Walcott and Nacho Monreal out, so the start for Oxlade-Chamberlain and
:02:17. > :02:24.for Gibbs. Giroud and Ramsey returned the substitutes. -- return
:02:25. > :02:30.among the substitutes. Arsenal have won for out of the last five games
:02:31. > :02:32.at the Stadium Of Light. Sunderland looking for any kind of positivity.
:02:33. > :02:45.Oxlade-Chamberlain. They have found a way through, it's
:02:46. > :02:51.Ozil. And Sunderland relieved he didn't generate any power there.
:02:52. > :02:55.Watch Ozil's movement here, too much time, too much space, just couldn't
:02:56. > :03:03.apply the finish. They don't want Arsenal to get into their stride.
:03:04. > :03:13.Out of the right-hand side, Oxlade-Chamberlain kept it in.
:03:14. > :03:19.Tidy from Arsenal. Oxlade-Chamberlain. There's the
:03:20. > :03:26.cross towards Sanchez. Fantastic goal! Arsenal in front, Alexis
:03:27. > :03:31.Sanchez with his 12th goal in 19 Premier League starts. To finish off
:03:32. > :03:38.a fantastic delivery from Oxlade-Chamberlain. Inch perfect
:03:39. > :03:48.header. His seventh of the season, Sunderland nil, Arsenal one.
:03:49. > :03:55.Billy Jones, from range. A second opportunity, Khazri is offside, it
:03:56. > :04:01.won't count, Defoe put it in the back of the net but the flag was
:04:02. > :04:08.already up. When this came back to him, there was no need to debate
:04:09. > :04:13.that. Sunderland somehow have to try and find a way back into this game.
:04:14. > :04:19.One win in the last 43 Premier League matches when they've conceded
:04:20. > :04:24.the first goal. And look at this, Ozil chasing. Pickford had come out
:04:25. > :04:30.and was able to retrieve the situation as he backpedal. But that
:04:31. > :04:38.was too easy for Arsenal. Nobody goes with Ozil. Jordan Pickford was
:04:39. > :04:42.able to deny the German. Well, the problems are mounting up for
:04:43. > :04:47.Sunderland because the captain is now being forced off through injury.
:04:48. > :04:55.It's his hamstring. It's the end of John O'Shea's day.
:04:56. > :05:08.Now Defoe. Away from Mustafi. One more. -- Watmore, trying to square
:05:09. > :05:12.that for Steven Pienaar. You can feel the anxiety or around the
:05:13. > :05:18.stadium. Potentially the clearest opportunity of the day for
:05:19. > :05:19.Sunderland. Frustration for Arsenal, they've scored just the one goal so
:05:20. > :05:30.far. He's got away from Kone and he was
:05:31. > :05:37.pulled back by Kone, Martin Atkinson says no penalty. He's got the wrong
:05:38. > :05:44.side of Kone, pulls him back the. That's surely a penalty? N'Dong to
:05:45. > :05:52.try to get things moving for Sunderland. Watmore the intended,
:05:53. > :06:01.and it's Duncan Watmore for Sunderland. Penalty! Yellow card for
:06:02. > :06:09.Petr Cech and from nowhere Sunderland have an opportunity to
:06:10. > :06:16.get back in the game. Hesitant from Mustafi, on went Watmore, caught by
:06:17. > :06:22.Cech, and Arsenal, who could and should have had a penalty at one end
:06:23. > :06:26.conceived one at the other. -- concede one at the other. Jermain
:06:27. > :06:30.Defoe, who has only missed one of his last five penalties, those
:06:31. > :06:42.supporters desperate for this one to go in. What a lifeline this is. Here
:06:43. > :06:47.comes Defoe, 1-1. No nerves there. Defoe's this Premier League goal of
:06:48. > :06:52.the season, his third in his career against Arsenal, and from nowhere
:06:53. > :07:00.Sunderland are back on terms. There's the break. He was absolutely
:07:01. > :07:03.desperate for it. Arsenal were searching for that second goal to
:07:04. > :07:13.give themselves a cushion. Suddenly they've been pegged back.
:07:14. > :07:20.Oxlade-Chamberlain too strong for Sanchez, back in from Gibbs and
:07:21. > :07:24.headed over by Djilobodji. Olivier Giroud is returning for Arsenal.
:07:25. > :07:40.Alex Iwobi is making way. Koscielny got his head to it. Just
:07:41. > :07:43.couldn't get over it. Arsenal frustrated last weekend at dropping
:07:44. > :07:49.two points against Middlesbrough. They will not want to repeat here on
:07:50. > :07:54.Wearside. Gives with the cross, Giroud, what an introduction! First
:07:55. > :08:02.touch for the Olivier Giroud results in a goal. His last goal against
:08:03. > :08:06.Sunderland back in January and the French man puts the Gunners back in
:08:07. > :08:12.front. Sanchez naturally involved. Gibbs with the cross. And Olivier
:08:13. > :08:16.Giroud straight into the action to find the back of the net. Is that
:08:17. > :08:24.what you call an inspired substitution?
:08:25. > :08:31.Sanchez on the overlap, Ozil and Giroud in both waiting, it's in
:08:32. > :08:32.towards Ozil. It could have easily been finished. That potentially
:08:33. > :08:45.would have sealed it. Headed away by Jones. A high foot
:08:46. > :08:46.from Januzaj, a free kick to Arsenal right on the edge of the penalty
:08:47. > :08:59.area. It is to be Ozil's turn, deflected
:09:00. > :09:06.off the wall for an Arsenal corner. It clips off the head of Rodwell.
:09:07. > :09:17.Ozil's Ross, well met and Giroud, two for Giroud, three for Arsenal,
:09:18. > :09:23.and that should be three points. He always seems to do it against
:09:24. > :09:25.Sunderland as well. They got their first, Pickford got a hand to it but
:09:26. > :09:35.couldn't keep it out. Having not scored against Sunderland
:09:36. > :09:42.since January, he has two off the Ben stand its Sunderland one,
:09:43. > :09:44.Arsenal three. Arsenal have introduced Ramsey for
:09:45. > :09:51.Oxlade-Chamberlain, his first appearance since the opening weekend
:09:52. > :09:57.of the season. Sanchez leaves it for Elneny. He knows he has Gibbs to his
:09:58. > :10:03.left, ignores him. Here's Gibbs. Should have been four, might still
:10:04. > :10:07.be. Sanchez, it is. He's got two as well. They are enjoying themselves
:10:08. > :10:13.now, Arsenal. It's another tough day for David Moyes and Sunderland. 13
:10:14. > :10:20.minutes to go and they are already off. They've seen enough. They had a
:10:21. > :10:24.few stabs at this one. Gibbs with the first, back off the woodwork,
:10:25. > :10:30.then Ramsey had a go. It was third time lucky. Cool, calm and composed
:10:31. > :10:39.from Alexis Sanchez, who scores his 50th Arsenal goal in just his 106
:10:40. > :10:42.appearance. Three goals in six minutes and 20 seconds have totally
:10:43. > :10:46.taken away any hope and optimism that Sunderland had. It's a
:10:47. > :10:55.difficult time to be a Sunderland supporters. Today, we missed many
:10:56. > :10:59.chances and we were down to 1-1, but the performance was good. After that
:11:00. > :11:04.it was a mental test, once we were down to 1-1, how we respond, do we
:11:05. > :11:08.feel sorry for ourselves or go again and the strength to push, and that's
:11:09. > :11:14.what we did an very convincing way and in the end it was a comfortable
:11:15. > :11:17.win. We didn't deserve to lose in the fashion we did in the end. We
:11:18. > :11:20.put up a good show to stick with Arsenal in the first half, when they
:11:21. > :11:23.were good, and in the second half I thought we grew into the game and
:11:24. > :11:28.deservedly got the goal to equalise. At that point you are hoping, look,
:11:29. > :11:31.what it going to go, but Arsenal's quality and probably the strength
:11:32. > :11:37.they have got from the bench, showed. Have you ever come off the
:11:38. > :11:41.bench and scored with the first two touches before? Oh, it was my first
:11:42. > :11:47.two touches, so I've been lucky, good deliveries from my team-mates
:11:48. > :11:52.and I'm glad for the team. We carry on our good momentum. Ten games in,
:11:53. > :11:56.how do you assess the situation? Are you getting your message and style
:11:57. > :12:01.across? The results would say it's not but I'd say there's bits in it
:12:02. > :12:05.where we are but you only ever get judged by your results. Yes, another
:12:06. > :12:10.win for Arsenal, another defeat for Sunderland. Arsenal looking very
:12:11. > :12:14.good and in particular Alexis Sanchez upfront, what a terrific
:12:15. > :12:19.player, it doesn't seem to matter where he plays, does it? I think
:12:20. > :12:20.they are better team with him as a centre forward. He was
:12:21. > :12:23.they are better team with him as a centre forward. He was superb today.
:12:24. > :12:27.He ran the defence of Sunderland ragged, all over the place, they
:12:28. > :12:31.didn't have a clue how to deal with him, whether to go short. But what
:12:32. > :12:35.was also impressive about Arsenal today as they had runners, midfield
:12:36. > :12:40.runners, who were prepared to run past him. So when he went short for
:12:41. > :12:45.the ball, they constantly did that the whole game. A superb ball in
:12:46. > :12:51.the, should actually do better, but that was a constant theme of the
:12:52. > :12:54.game. Again, he goes short, but it doesn't half make the job of a
:12:55. > :12:58.centre forward easier when you have guys who are prepared to do that.
:12:59. > :13:02.Defenders don't know whether to go with you or drop off come or what.
:13:03. > :13:06.That was the case today with Sunderland. This was actually his
:13:07. > :13:10.goal. Sanchez starts the move. The ball out to the right-hand side.
:13:11. > :13:16.What's impressive about him, once he realises he can sniff a goal, look
:13:17. > :13:18.at him getting on his bike to get into the box and it's a brilliant
:13:19. > :13:23.ball in from Oxlade-Chamberlain. He's got three yards on him there,
:13:24. > :13:26.Kone, but the determination of Sanchez to get across the front of
:13:27. > :13:33.him, as you should do as a centre forward, and it's a superb header.
:13:34. > :13:36.This again for Ozil, the form he's been in this season, a brilliant
:13:37. > :13:40.ball in a game. He should actually score there. That was the first
:13:41. > :13:45.half. The second half it didn't really change. He bought Giroud on
:13:46. > :13:50.to play up front with Sanchez. He starts the move again. Lovely little
:13:51. > :13:53.dummy. He gets into the box, gets into dangerous areas, and he was
:13:54. > :13:57.quicker and sharper than anyone. The touch with his left foot there,
:13:58. > :14:06.turn, flick with the right foot, he was superb all afternoon. A very
:14:07. > :14:08.clever footballer, Arsenal looking good. The misery goes on for
:14:09. > :14:11.Sunderland. David Moyes was saying he can see progress not necessarily
:14:12. > :14:14.in results, but can you? I'm struggling, to be honest with you.
:14:15. > :14:19.He's got to defend his team, I accept that. I think there was a
:14:20. > :14:23.real problem for Sunderland today, in the shape. They've obviously
:14:24. > :14:28.worked in the week on trying to keep a nice tight line, a 4-5- one and
:14:29. > :14:33.stop Arsenal playing but they forgot to press. They didn't make any
:14:34. > :14:37.tackles, didn't get in the face and they let Arsenal dictate play from
:14:38. > :14:39.minute one. A free pass in the middle of the park. You can't do
:14:40. > :14:44.that because with Arsenal's Remesy will cause yourself problems. At
:14:45. > :14:50.times, all players apart from Defoe are so deep, players of Arsenal's
:14:51. > :14:53.quality gain confidence from this. It's so easy for them. I couldn't
:14:54. > :14:57.believe what was going on and by half-time the game should have been
:14:58. > :15:01.over. They've got three or four options. This is from the goal.
:15:02. > :15:08.Should have got closer, brings it down under no pressure. Here,
:15:09. > :15:11.brushes him off. Comes out Oxlade-Chamberlain, he goes past
:15:12. > :15:16.Watmore without doing a trick, just goes past him and Sanchez is the
:15:17. > :15:20.only one in the box. There are three 6-foot plus defenders there. It's as
:15:21. > :15:24.if it didn't matter, it's as if it is a team battling at the bottom of
:15:25. > :15:28.the leak to stay in the Premier League. I feel sorry for Defoe, so
:15:29. > :15:32.isolated in the team. They didn't get near Arsenal the whole afternoon
:15:33. > :15:35.and it didn't change even in the second half. They never really went
:15:36. > :15:39.for it at all and I know Arsenal have quality, but if Sunderland
:15:40. > :15:40.continue to play with this negativity and go too deep and play
:15:41. > :15:46.with fear they have no chance. Leaders Manchester City kicked off
:15:47. > :15:49.at 3.00pm looking to end a run of six games without a win
:15:50. > :15:51.in all competitions. Pep Guardiola's side
:15:52. > :15:53.were in action at West Brom, who've lost nine in a row
:15:54. > :16:02.against the visitors. COMMENTATOR: West Brom's starting XI
:16:03. > :16:06.includes Chris Brunt for the first time since February and the knee
:16:07. > :16:07.injury that saw him miss Northern Ireland's Euro adventure. Jonny
:16:08. > :16:32.Evans is back from a one match ban Aguero is back. Manchester City will
:16:33. > :16:35.almost certainly have more of it than albeean will today. That
:16:36. > :16:43.doesn't guarantee three points. Sterling. Gone for it. Foster was
:16:44. > :16:53.forced to save. Quickly recovered to gather again. Sterling did well to
:16:54. > :16:58.get any sort of goal there, never mind one on target. Pep Guardiola
:16:59. > :17:03.might have been there done it and won it. He says he needs time to
:17:04. > :17:10.learn and improve now he's experiencing something new in the
:17:11. > :17:14.Premier League. Good tackle by Nolito. Good turn by Nolito. He's
:17:15. > :17:24.fouled by the retreating Craig Dawson.
:17:25. > :17:34.Nice bit of skill to get away from Evans. Dawson found himself too
:17:35. > :17:40.close. Nolito putting his head against Dawson's. He will be
:17:41. > :17:46.yellowed carded by Lee Mason. Nolito has previous. Sergio Aguero is
:17:47. > :17:51.having a word. You may recall that the Spaniard was sent off against
:17:52. > :17:56.Bournemouth in September for reacting like that. Plenty of
:17:57. > :18:02.Manchester City players are finding room to receive the ball in, in the
:18:03. > :18:08.middle of the field. When they advance on West Brom's penalty area
:18:09. > :18:15.it becomes as congested an Piccadilly Circus in rush-hour.
:18:16. > :18:19.McAuley got it away. Sterling. Might have been going wide, Foster dare
:18:20. > :18:26.not take that chance. Nice connection. Could easily have taken
:18:27. > :18:31.a deflection, too. Pulis says on signing his new deal at the club he
:18:32. > :18:35.wants to build things here and play his part in improving matters. Well,
:18:36. > :18:46.he's certainly done that so far with West Bromwich Albion. Pokes it
:18:47. > :18:51.through to Sergio Aguero! Brilliantly finished. What will that
:18:52. > :19:00.do for his and Manchester City's confidence in general? That was
:19:01. > :19:05.taken wonderfully well. Brilliant ball through to him from Ilkay
:19:06. > :19:08.Gundogan. Aguero never needs long to size up the situation. He knows
:19:09. > :19:13.where the goal is, he sees where the keeper is going to be and he hits
:19:14. > :19:20.the ball at just the right time. West Bromwich Albion 0, Manchester
:19:21. > :19:30.City 1. Sergio Aguero is back scoring again. Fernandinho.
:19:31. > :19:37.Nearly came to Aguero. It has come to Aguero. Aguero's made the space
:19:38. > :19:48.to shoot. And that is absolutely magnificent. Who's lacking
:19:49. > :19:53.confidence now? Goodness me, that is some finish from Sergio Aguero. He
:19:54. > :19:59.doesn't seem to need quite as much room as most other forward players
:20:00. > :20:05.in the game. He only ever had the shot on his mind. It had the power
:20:06. > :20:09.and the bend, and Ben Foster was well beaten. West Brom 0, Manchester
:20:10. > :20:28.City 2. Fernandinho. Aguero. There's Nolito.
:20:29. > :20:32.Gareth McAuley on the slide. Nolito keeps the ball alive. Sterling, he
:20:33. > :20:40.does really well. Gundogan, deflected wide. Came off Nolito.
:20:41. > :20:49.Albion are clinging on to just being two goals behind right now. That
:20:50. > :20:57.little bit of crowd noise in their ears might just prompt West Brom to
:20:58. > :21:01.push on a little bit more. Rondon, beats Claudio Bravo to it, but can't
:21:02. > :21:07.find the target. Listen to that. There's as response from The
:21:08. > :21:13.Hawthorns crowd. Curled in towards Salomon Rondon. Not to be for Tony
:21:14. > :21:17.Pulis' team. He will like the way he upped the tempo since he made those
:21:18. > :21:26.couple of substitutions a few minutes ago. McClean. Three in the
:21:27. > :21:33.middle for him. McClean delivers. It's turned behind by Ronned Ron. .
:21:34. > :21:38.-- Rondon. James McClean, for my money, has been their best player
:21:39. > :21:53.today. He very nearly created the opening for Salomon Rondon there.
:21:54. > :22:02.Navas. Good ball across. Here's Fernandinho, Aguero. Aguero, out of
:22:03. > :22:09.the box to go back in. Gundogan, slides the ball in for 3-0.
:22:10. > :22:12.Manchester City make angles where other teams can't find them. Look at
:22:13. > :22:17.Aguero here. The players started to go to the right, following
:22:18. > :22:23.Fernandinho and Navas. McClean was one of those guilty of playing those
:22:24. > :22:29.onside in the middle. There is a bit of fortune. It clips off McAuley on
:22:30. > :22:36.its way through to gunned gun, who finishes expertly. That will do it.
:22:37. > :22:51.It's now West Brom 0, Manchester City 3. In from McClean. Here's
:22:52. > :23:01.Leko. Lots to like about Leko. McAuley. Over the top from the
:23:02. > :23:06.rebound. Take a bow Johnson than Leko. There are smiles on a few West
:23:07. > :23:09.Brom faces now, even though their team is 3-0 down at home. It's
:23:10. > :23:29.because of the 17-year-old substitute. Navas, Aguero, De
:23:30. > :23:38.Bruyne. That's Gundogan! Oh so easy. City have strolled their way through
:23:39. > :23:43.to four. All those games without a win. All those questions to Pep
:23:44. > :23:51.Guardiola about, should he change his style? Not when the football is
:23:52. > :23:57.as stylish as this. Kevin De Bruyne, waiting for the right time. Gundogan
:23:58. > :24:02.made the rest look simple. It's four goals for Manchester City.
:24:03. > :24:13.The Premier League, my friends, is tough. You win 2-0 and you don't
:24:14. > :24:16.know why you play the best football, win crosses and second balls. The
:24:17. > :24:20.first half we control absolutely this kind of thing. We cannot
:24:21. > :24:24.because the openings are really good. The first half we played like
:24:25. > :24:29.we did against Tottenham and Liverpool. We sat back waiting for
:24:30. > :24:33.it to happen. Second-half, you know, the first 20 minute, 25 minutes we
:24:34. > :24:37.gave it a go. We needed to score. That was important. Then, as the
:24:38. > :24:41.game opens up, there is more space. They have real quality on the Has it
:24:42. > :24:46.been break. A difficult time, six winless before today, did some
:24:47. > :24:51.doubts and fears start to creep? If you have such a situation that we
:24:52. > :24:57.had the last two or three weeks, then everything feels a little bit
:24:58. > :25:02.harder. A little bit more difficult. But today was well-deserved and,
:25:03. > :25:06.yeah, I hope we can just, yes, start the season off from zero again and
:25:07. > :25:11.just do our thing. You have worked with some of the very best strikers.
:25:12. > :25:14.Is Aguero up there with them? Of course, he's one of the best you
:25:15. > :25:19.have to see how many goals he scores. Here in the Premier League,
:25:20. > :25:23.how difficult it is. I love working with nice guys, nice people, Sergio
:25:24. > :25:26.Aguero is one of them. Yes, Manchester City back winning. Sergio
:25:27. > :25:32.Aguero back goalscoring as well. He has a re, maable record. Look at
:25:33. > :25:37.that. Minutes per goal 106. 40 minutes per goal better than one
:25:38. > :25:42.Alan Shearer. Who is on 200 plus goals in there then? He always has a
:25:43. > :25:47.comeback? Is he a better player, will will he be a better player
:25:48. > :25:51.under Pep Guardiola? It's hard to get much better in what he does in
:25:52. > :25:58.scoring goals. The off the ball stuff is where Pep wants to improve
:25:59. > :26:02.him. I noticed a different today. He seems to be more dynamic off the
:26:03. > :26:06.ball, closing people down and chasing down. Last season you don't
:26:07. > :26:10.see this so much. That is something that not... It's not been in his
:26:11. > :26:14.game so much. He doesn't need to when he is scoring goals. Pep
:26:15. > :26:17.expects more from his players. Here, with the ball, as I said, dynamic,
:26:18. > :26:23.trying to get the team on the attack. Very good. Poor pass. He
:26:24. > :26:26.waits and then he says, I have to win it back or the manager will be
:26:27. > :26:30.on me. He won it back. That is something I don't really associate
:26:31. > :26:34.with Aguero so much. That was a definite difference in his game
:26:35. > :26:39.today. The thing we have seen so many times is this. The fantastic
:26:40. > :26:44.runs. The willingness to get in the box. The ability to put the ball in
:26:45. > :26:48.the back of the net. I mean, 13 goals in 13 games even though he has
:26:49. > :26:56.been on a six game drought, which is remarkable. Missioned four
:26:57. > :26:59.penalties. I don't know of another striker with this short back lift.
:27:00. > :27:03.He needs half a yard. That is as good a finish as you will see.
:27:04. > :27:08.Magnificent. It really is. He was trying to prove a point. He has been
:27:09. > :27:12.left out of the team for the first time in his Manchester City career.
:27:13. > :27:21.Biggest game of the season. Assisting as well. Clever pass. He
:27:22. > :27:27.won't be left out this week, is he? 10.2 is a big difference to last
:27:28. > :27:33.season's averages. We think it will be under 10 under Pep. One genuine
:27:34. > :27:37.world-class player we have in our Premier League. Only one? Sanchez? I
:27:38. > :27:41.just... When you look at his record, when you look at some of the goals
:27:42. > :27:46.that he can score. The goals he has scored. He's world-class. OK.
:27:47. > :27:52.Five games and plenty of goals still to come.
:27:53. > :28:11.COMMENTATOR: Cabaye. Benteke! Dele Alli hits the bar. That's a bad
:28:12. > :28:14.miss. He gave it everything. Hit the crossbar Kaboul.
:28:15. > :28:16.Liverpool were looking to keep pace with Manchester City
:28:17. > :28:20.They faced a Crystal Palace side who've suffered back-to-back defeats
:28:21. > :28:28.Simon Brotherton was at Selhurst Park.
:28:29. > :28:32.COMMENTATOR: Christian Benteke scored in an injury-time winner for
:28:33. > :28:36.Liverpool in this fixture last season help is lining up against
:28:37. > :28:39.them tonight for the first time since being surplus to requirements
:28:40. > :28:43.over the summer, looking to add to an impressive tally of five goals in
:28:44. > :28:50.six games against Liverpool while with Aston Villa. Palace welcome
:28:51. > :28:58.back their captain, Scott Dann. Chung-Yong Lee is prepared to
:28:59. > :29:01.Townsend. Moreno starts. Milner misses the match through I willness.
:29:02. > :29:14.Illness. Liverpool in the luminous kit today,
:29:15. > :29:22.which on the official sheet today was described as toxic.
:29:23. > :29:31.Jordan Henderson to Coutinho, moving forward. First time in from Alberto
:29:32. > :29:36.Moreno, Emre Can, slight deflection on the way in. Liverpool ahead after
:29:37. > :29:47.a quarter of an hour. Well worked, finally finished, Emre Can. Palace
:29:48. > :29:53.nil, Liverpool one. Moreno involved in the build-up, once the ball
:29:54. > :30:00.played forward. A tight call, just onside. First-time patch and the
:30:01. > :30:03.first time shot, takes the deflection on the way past Steve
:30:04. > :30:09.Mandanda. Jurgen Klopp's team are head. That shot the deflecting in
:30:10. > :30:16.off the Crystal Palace captain, Scott Dann. Palace, who were beaten
:30:17. > :30:20.by 1-0 in their last home match, find themselves behind back that
:30:21. > :30:28.scoreline now, fairly early in the game. That was a horrible slice,
:30:29. > :30:31.which opens the door, and James McArthur equalises for Crystal
:30:32. > :30:40.Palace. Less than three minutes after going behind, it was an
:30:41. > :30:44.unexpected gift of an opportunity. Lovren's mistake and he paid dearly
:30:45. > :30:50.for it. First time that Crystal Palace have really threatened here.
:30:51. > :30:54.Sliced up into the air. McArthur kept his eye on the ball and made
:30:55. > :30:57.sure he got there before the Liverpool goalkeeper, Loris Karius.
:30:58. > :31:03.What a messy goal for Liverpool to conceive. A lead that doesn't last
:31:04. > :31:11.long. It is Palace one, Liverpool one. Liverpool still without a clean
:31:12. > :31:16.sheet away in the league since the 6-0 thrashing they handed out to
:31:17. > :31:23.Aston Villa in February. Suddenly, Selhurst Park is absolutely rocking.
:31:24. > :31:26.Liverpool so far with two thirds of the playbook Crystal Palace
:31:27. > :31:34.responding well to going a goal behind. Here's Mane again, Tom Kings
:31:35. > :31:40.is able to do enough. Liverpool have their first corner. Cabaye being
:31:41. > :31:46.told to move the ball ten yards back by the referee here. Approach from
:31:47. > :31:57.Coutinho, Joel Ward is there. That could be another corner.
:31:58. > :32:04.Coutinho will try again. Oh, and Dejan Lovren has made amends. A
:32:05. > :32:12.powerful header from the Croatian defender. Villa moments ago, -- a
:32:13. > :32:16.villain moments ago, a hero once again for Liverpool. A pivotal
:32:17. > :32:22.figure, twice in quick succession. That's more like it, says Jurgen
:32:23. > :32:26.Klopp, and Liverpool back in front. Henderson sticks his foot in, no
:32:27. > :32:31.foul. Away comes Lallana, a little bit of time and space in midfield
:32:32. > :32:34.and now it's with Coutinho and alarm bells ringing for Palace at the back
:32:35. > :32:41.once again. Moreno slamming the outside of the post. Confident and
:32:42. > :32:55.the venomous shot from Alberto Moreno. Emre Can, only as far as
:32:56. > :33:00.Tomkins. The ball up to Benteke, finds Wilfried Zaha. Floating that
:33:01. > :33:05.one in and Crystal Palace are back in and it's James McArthur with his
:33:06. > :33:09.second header of the first half! That's an incredible strike rate
:33:10. > :33:13.from Crystal Palace's point of view, because they've hardly threatened in
:33:14. > :33:16.this first half in the final third, but James McArthur has not only
:33:17. > :33:21.scored twice, but twice with his forehead as well. It was Benteke
:33:22. > :33:24.getting up well, Wilfried Zaha is always capable of creating with
:33:25. > :33:29.dangerous deliveries and that's exactly what he does here, as
:33:30. > :33:35.McArthur comes charging into head the ball home, getting in ahead of
:33:36. > :33:37.Dejan Lovren. That header means that with 33 minutes played, it's Crystal
:33:38. > :33:52.Palace two, Liverpool two. A stretch for Kelly, Firmino still
:33:53. > :33:57.going here now. Gets the ball in. Coutinho, oh, it's off the post and
:33:58. > :34:02.Palace survive and get it away. Liverpool hitting the woodwork for
:34:03. > :34:10.the second time in the first half. Was that a hand ball thereby Joel
:34:11. > :34:15.Ward, as the ball came in? Two and a half minutes to go in the first
:34:16. > :34:21.half. Coutinho finding Mane. Hurtling forward is Nathaniel Clyne,
:34:22. > :34:28.who wins a corner. Via a deflection off Martin Kelly. In the penalty
:34:29. > :34:38.area for this one. Scott Dann trying to keep tabs on Lovren. Matip, free
:34:39. > :34:46.header, Joel Matip celebrates his first goal for the club, Liverpool
:34:47. > :34:49.ahead did -- for the first time -- Liverpool ahead for the third time
:34:50. > :34:56.in an incredible first half. Mandanda unable to plot that one,
:34:57. > :35:04.even though it was straight at him. Crystal Palace two, Liverpool three.
:35:05. > :35:21.Cabaye foul. Can gets a yellow card. -- Cabaye was fouled. The first
:35:22. > :35:26.yellow card of the game, that one. Tomkins with the delivery, up
:35:27. > :35:33.towards Dann. It's in to Benteke, who brings the save from Karius.
:35:34. > :35:39.That's got the crowd going again the start of the second half here.
:35:40. > :35:43.Andros Townsend amongst the substitutes for Crystal Palace
:35:44. > :35:48.today, the first time this season Alan Pardew hasn't put him in the
:35:49. > :35:56.starting XI. This is Coutinho now, in towards Sadio Mane. Mane brings a
:35:57. > :36:03.save from Mandanda. Sadio Mane was in the. Liverpool's first really
:36:04. > :36:06.good effort of the second half. Wilfried Zaha hustling, bustling,
:36:07. > :36:10.refusing to be halted by the Liverpool defence. They are
:36:11. > :36:18.screaming for a penalty, the referee says no. Cabaye stretching, makes
:36:19. > :36:25.the save and Palace continue to protest that they should have a
:36:26. > :36:31.penalty kick. Zaha racing into the box, penalty not given here. It was
:36:32. > :36:36.the second one. The referee again very well placed to make the call.
:36:37. > :36:44.Cabaye almost in and Karius bravely added his feet. Now, Crystal Palace
:36:45. > :36:49.can sweep forwards. McArthur finding Benteke. He's got Zaha a of him on
:36:50. > :36:53.the far side and Zaha goes down inside the box, under pressure from
:36:54. > :36:58.Emre Can and again Andre Marriner says, no. A similar sort of
:36:59. > :37:03.position. Marriner is quite a distance away from that. No penalty
:37:04. > :37:05.for Crystal Palace. To be honest no major protest from Wilfried Zaha
:37:06. > :37:13.after that decision from the referee. Lovely ball forward, into
:37:14. > :37:17.Firmino. Over Steve Mandanda and just like that, Liverpool have
:37:18. > :37:22.sliced Crystal Palace open again and they lead by 4-2 and surely that is
:37:23. > :37:28.not a lead they are going to surrender this evening. Roberto
:37:29. > :37:32.Firmino, who scored here in last season's 2-1 victory for Liverpool
:37:33. > :37:37.scores the fourth goal of the day. Mane with the pass back, Henderson
:37:38. > :37:42.spotted the opening, played onside by Tomkins a lovely ball. An
:37:43. > :37:52.excellent finish as well. Cool, and composed, a delightful link over the
:37:53. > :37:56.Crystal Palace goalkeeper. -- dink. We worked hard, defended well at
:37:57. > :38:00.times but we should have had more pressure on Liverpool. They are good
:38:01. > :38:05.team though and some of the tight control over some of the tight
:38:06. > :38:08.technical play, when we was in and around them, was unsettling is
:38:09. > :38:14.because they kept getting out of it with the ball. Two set plays though,
:38:15. > :38:19.that's not us. Your first goal for Liverpool, a special moment for you?
:38:20. > :38:23.Of course, I'm happy I could score, the last game I had one or two
:38:24. > :38:28.opportunities but this time I could use a wonderful corner and only had
:38:29. > :38:32.to. I could have bet on many things before the match, to be fair I don't
:38:33. > :38:35.think that betting on you being on a hat-trick before half-time with two
:38:36. > :38:40.headers put -- would have been one of the things I would put money on!
:38:41. > :38:45.You are right, the gaffer has been trying to get me to go forward and
:38:46. > :38:48.playing someone like Christian Benteke, who wins his fair share
:38:49. > :38:52.roughly once, so it gives you encouraged to get there. Three
:38:53. > :38:56.penalty claims which I thought were tight, but we had a tight one given
:38:57. > :39:02.against us last year with the same referee. It was far away from being
:39:03. > :39:07.perfect, far away, but at Crystal Palace not a lot of teams will win
:39:08. > :39:10.the perfect game so we have to fight for every moment. I saw it in the
:39:11. > :39:15.first half, with the movement. The beginning of the second half, we
:39:16. > :39:22.would have scored better so it was quite intense for as. To have to run
:39:23. > :39:26.so much. Three points and we won at Crystal Palace, nothing to moan
:39:27. > :39:29.about. He is and -- as entertaining in his interviews as his team are
:39:30. > :39:32.playing football, they played beautiful stuff going forward, he
:39:33. > :39:36.said it wasn't perfect and I presume he means about the other end of the
:39:37. > :39:41.pitch but going forward they are delightful. They have so many
:39:42. > :39:46.options and the play with a freedom and I think he just says to these
:39:47. > :39:49.guys, go and play wherever you want, go and enjoy yourselves and have fun
:39:50. > :39:52.because that's what it looks as if it is what is happening. They are
:39:53. > :39:56.all over the park up front, the three of them, not stuck in a new
:39:57. > :40:01.positions. They can have the ball short, they can play the ball one,
:40:02. > :40:06.they can have it into feed. The stretch teams and whether someone on
:40:07. > :40:13.the left-hand side, Coutinho, or Firmino, Mane, they'd just do all
:40:14. > :40:16.play in different positions and they all chip in. They are all a goal
:40:17. > :40:20.threat. They should have had more goals today because of the chances
:40:21. > :40:25.they had. That should have been a goal for Coutinho. They can have the
:40:26. > :40:31.give and going behind the linkup play between them they are so
:40:32. > :40:35.difficult to contain and not many teams would be able to do that.
:40:36. > :40:39.There's another chance, that should be in the back of the net. The
:40:40. > :40:43.number of chances they created because of the energy they have and
:40:44. > :40:46.as I say, they do stretch teams. Another very good chance should be
:40:47. > :40:52.on the back of the net, a poor finish. The goal they scored, a
:40:53. > :40:58.beautiful ball from Henderson. What about that for a finish? They remind
:40:59. > :41:03.me of the Newcastle team 20 odd years ago, that they were just
:41:04. > :41:06.superb, Keegan with Beardsley and general and Les Ferdinand and the
:41:07. > :41:10.number of chances they created but the one thing that could cost them
:41:11. > :41:15.would be defensively if they don't improve. If they don't do it at the
:41:16. > :41:17.other end. There was talk, we saw Alan Pardew talking about the
:41:18. > :41:21.official Andrei Marriner, who refereed the game last year when
:41:22. > :41:24.Benteke got the penalty for Liverpool on that occasion right at
:41:25. > :41:28.the end, it was quite controversial. He said he didn't think he should
:41:29. > :41:39.have refereed this game today. There were three kind of dubious
:41:40. > :41:42.decisions. Have a look at them, Danny. I think they are dubious. I
:41:43. > :41:44.don't agree with not refereeing, you can't start taking referees off
:41:45. > :41:49.games. This one isn't, for me. He goes over too easily. He's running
:41:50. > :41:53.at pace. Matip on Benteke, that was really clumsy, some referees would
:41:54. > :41:58.have given that but if he's not sure, he can't give it, I understand
:41:59. > :42:03.that. I don't think that's a penalty. That one is clumsy. I don't
:42:04. > :42:08.think that's a penalty. Some referees would have given it. This
:42:09. > :42:13.one is, for me, no reason for Zaha to go down. We have seen a few
:42:14. > :42:16.angles of course, so we have the benefit of that but he kicks away
:42:17. > :42:21.his left leg. It's a definite penalty. At that point it could have
:42:22. > :42:25.been 3-3 and that would have been Emre Can's second booking. I looked
:42:26. > :42:29.at all the decisions and I think they're all dubious and for the
:42:30. > :42:32.referee to give a penalty he has to be 100% right and have a looked at
:42:33. > :42:36.all those decisions, if he could have given one it might have been
:42:37. > :42:41.what that one but I'm not 100% certain, so I think he is right not
:42:42. > :42:51.to give it. They say your eyesight gets worse as you get older! What
:42:52. > :42:52.chance have referees got? We've had 47 replays and car make your minds
:42:53. > :42:54.up. To White Hart Lane next,
:42:55. > :42:56.where unbeaten Spurs hosted champions Leicester,
:42:57. > :43:11.who've yet to pick up a point To Tottenham return to a near normal
:43:12. > :43:17.line-up. Sissoko is suspended and Eric Malala joins them today with
:43:18. > :43:24.illness, so two strikers, Son Heung-min, who has been scoring, and
:43:25. > :43:29.Johnson, who hasn't. Jamie Vardy is back after arrest, he replaces Islam
:43:30. > :43:33.Slimani, who has a slight injury, and the champions play in Copenhagen
:43:34. > :43:35.on Wednesday. If they win there they are through to the last 16 of the
:43:36. > :43:45.Champions League. Feel-good factor around White Hart
:43:46. > :43:55.Lane. Unbeaten, Tottenham, in nine games before today in the Premier
:43:56. > :44:04.League. Forward by Eriksen. . He thought it was a corner. The referee
:44:05. > :44:13.has overruled. In comes Dier. Oh, that wasn't a good clearance. And
:44:14. > :44:18.back again. Dele Alli had a shot there that was sheer reflexes from
:44:19. > :44:24.Kasper Schmeichel. Dele Alli disappointed. Schmeichel, with great
:44:25. > :44:35.respect to David de Gea, I would say at the moment is the most consistent
:44:36. > :44:44.goalkeeper in the Premier League. It's gone behind Janssen. Dele Alli
:44:45. > :44:48.thought he should have had a penalty. It would have been a soft
:44:49. > :44:52.one, if he gave it. Not an easy first half for Tottenham this.
:44:53. > :44:56.Mahrez intercepts there. He comes into the last third for Leicester.
:44:57. > :45:15.Okazaki. Corner to Leicester. That's deep. Oh, Fuchs. Now, he was
:45:16. > :45:20.asking a bit much of himself to hit it from here. Fizzing over the
:45:21. > :45:32.crossbar, a warning to Spurs. Long ball from Vertonghen. Fuchs caught
:45:33. > :45:38.out there a bit, I thought. Oh, Dele Alli hits the bar. Here he is again.
:45:39. > :45:43.He has found Son. He's trying to beat three Leicester players on his
:45:44. > :45:47.own and commits a foul, but it was Dele Alli there that very nearly
:45:48. > :46:00.brought this game into life. The best effort of the first half,
:46:01. > :46:04.without a doubt. Goodbye Walker. When it found Alli eventually.
:46:05. > :46:11.Surrounded by blue shirts. He gets a free-kick. Just a suggestion here
:46:12. > :46:17.that Tottenham are turning the screw slowly on Leicester towards the end
:46:18. > :46:23.of the first half. He's chipped it in low. Headed on by Dier, then back
:46:24. > :46:37.in. Half away by Drinkwater - oh, penalty. Penalty. Huth complains.
:46:38. > :46:43.Bobby Madeley was on-the-spot there. It's a bit of a pull by Huth in my
:46:44. > :46:50.view. Had is the man who gave it away. The man who scored here last
:46:51. > :46:57.season. Vincent Janssen, can he beat Kasper Schmeichel? He can! Vincent
:46:58. > :47:01.Janssen scores his first Premier League goal and sometimes, in games
:47:02. > :47:09.like this, a decision like that can make all the difference. Jamie Vardy
:47:10. > :47:19.might take advantage of that back header. Oh, here's Musa. Leicester
:47:20. > :47:24.City have equalised. Ahmed Musa, after two-and-a-half minutes of the
:47:25. > :47:29.second-half, has scored for Leicester. Good unselfish play by
:47:30. > :47:34.Jamie Vardy, let's mention that. But Musa finds the place at the far-post
:47:35. > :47:41.to take advantage. This is where Vardy's pace can catch out any team
:47:42. > :47:47.and Musa, kind of, knocked that in via Lloris. This is the first
:47:48. > :47:54.outfield goal in open play, scored against Tottenham this season. They
:47:55. > :48:02.are feeding Walker when they can on this right hand side. He still has a
:48:03. > :48:07.bit to do to make enrodes. This is Dele Alli. Nice turn. Now that might
:48:08. > :48:12.be... Oh, well I thought for a moment Dele Alli had fouled King.
:48:13. > :48:15.It's gone October other way. Dele Alli appeared to wrap his leg around
:48:16. > :48:22.King and then went down. So Spurs have the free-kick. Janssen. Oh,
:48:23. > :48:26.he's clipped the top of the goal. Janssen with his left foot. He's
:48:27. > :48:33.just close to being the sort of striker Spurs need, but he's just a
:48:34. > :48:39.little bit short. Dele Alli. Wanyama. Walker.
:48:40. > :48:51.Janssen. Oh, he might have squeezed it in there. Hard luck on Vincent
:48:52. > :48:54.Janssen. A bit of pulling on the shirt again by Robert Huth there.
:48:55. > :48:57.They are loving this. They are off to Copenhagen on Wednesday, would
:48:58. > :49:06.you believe, hoping for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League.
:49:07. > :49:17.Dembele. Dier is becoming more prominent now in the Leicester half.
:49:18. > :49:21.Wanyama. Oh, he's hit the bar, Vertonghen. That's the second time
:49:22. > :49:27.Tottenham have hit the bar today. It's Jan Vertonghen, last Premier
:49:28. > :49:28.League goal March 2013. Nearly got one there. Schmeichel couldn't do
:49:29. > :49:50.much about that. Oh, Leicester free-kick. Foul.
:49:51. > :49:54.Curled in. Headed just wide. Fuchs took it with his left foot. I don't
:49:55. > :50:01.know whether Lloris would have got that, possibly. Disappointed. We
:50:02. > :50:08.created chances. We dominated the game. But, you know, disappointed
:50:09. > :50:16.with the way we conceded the goal. It was the only shot on target we
:50:17. > :50:21.concede. It's hard. It's hard to miss two points today in a game
:50:22. > :50:26.that, after 90 minutes, that we see on the pitch. Are are you pleased
:50:27. > :50:32.with the point? Yes. Pleased with the point and our performance, with
:50:33. > :50:35.our spirit. I saw the Leicester spirit when we play together, when
:50:36. > :50:40.we fight together and help each other. Very good performance today.
:50:41. > :50:45.Feels like a day to learn the lessons from? Definitely. Every game
:50:46. > :50:50.is, whether you win, lose or draw. We drew today. The only positive is
:50:51. > :50:54.that we have not lost. We go again, these next two games. They are the
:50:55. > :50:58.biggest... It will be a big week for Tottenham. You never know, it could
:50:59. > :51:03.make-or-break our season. We have to win. We have to get six points from
:51:04. > :51:09.the next two games, without a doubt. Another penalty to debate, Danny.
:51:10. > :51:13.This was given. Thoughts? Well, I think, first and foremost, there is
:51:14. > :51:19.an incident before the penalty was given that is really important the
:51:20. > :51:23.referee missed. He pulls his shirt. A free-kick in itself. I understand
:51:24. > :51:28.why he missed it. He is watching the flight of the ball, but this bit
:51:29. > :51:33.here. He puts his arm on his shoulder, Huth, Janssen goes down
:51:34. > :51:40.too easily. That's never a penalty. He's done... I say he's conning the
:51:41. > :51:43.ref. That is harsh. He has done what striker's do, made the most of an
:51:44. > :51:46.arm on a you willed strongholder. It doesn't warrant going down like
:51:47. > :51:50.that. Fair play he got up, had the confidence, even though he hasn't
:51:51. > :51:55.scored in the Premier League before, and smashed the penalty in.
:51:56. > :52:03.Hopefully that is the springboard. I thought that was soft. It was soft.
:52:04. > :52:07.Five wins, phial draws for Spurs. Very difficult team to beat, but can
:52:08. > :52:11.they turn enough draws into victories to be a title contender?
:52:12. > :52:15.Defensively very good, best in the league. I know Harry Kane makes a
:52:16. > :52:19.huge difference. When teams play against them now, what they did last
:52:20. > :52:23.season is they stretched teams more. I don't think they are doing that.
:52:24. > :52:28.The pace of their play, particularly in the final third, is not as sharp
:52:29. > :52:32.as it has been or could be. At times you could throw a blanket over the
:52:33. > :52:37.front four, if you like, they play very narrow. They are not stretching
:52:38. > :52:44.teams as they did last year. The This is poor. Janssen struggled. He
:52:45. > :52:49.got his penalty. He hasn't made the impact they want him to. Poor,
:52:50. > :52:52.again. A lot of their play comes from their full-backs. He is looking
:52:53. > :52:57.for options there. He is saying to them - come on, move for me, run in
:52:58. > :53:03.behind, help me out here. Again, very narrow, all three of them. Long
:53:04. > :53:11.ball out to the opposite side here Walker. There is the four guys
:53:12. > :53:15.again. As I said, it was slow, it eventually comes back into Dembele.
:53:16. > :53:20.He has too many touches. No options, takes a touch, another touch. Gets
:53:21. > :53:24.caught on the ball. That's them defending far too easy. This sort of
:53:25. > :53:28.summed their game up. Tried something different. Brought a sub
:53:29. > :53:32.on. Tried to get in behind, but it isn't, working for them. They have
:53:33. > :53:36.to get their sharpness back into the game and ask more questions of the
:53:37. > :53:39.back four. As for Leicester, Danny, they have lost all the previous four
:53:40. > :53:44.league games this season. It was much more like the Leicester of last
:53:45. > :53:49.season, wasn't it? Best away performance by a mile. Lots of
:53:50. > :53:53.positives. Only one of the new signings, Musa, was in the team
:53:54. > :53:58.today. It's like Leicester of last season. They deserve credit for that
:53:59. > :54:02.performance. Leicester were good in the second-half. Deserved a point.
:54:03. > :54:06.Back in the title race, yeah? You've been drinking again!
:54:07. > :54:08.Match of the Day 2 could be a shocker, let's hope
:54:09. > :54:32.5Live and the BBC Sport website will have commentary
:54:33. > :54:38.The Women's Football Show follows Match of the Day 2.

:55:32. > :55:35.Manchester United last even failed to score in a home top-flight game
:55:36. > :55:42.against Burnley, who have yet to pick up an away point so history
:55:43. > :55:48.suggest the first victory in five for United. Jose Mourinho says they
:55:49. > :55:55.need to win. Valencia underwent arm surgery today. Andre Gray returns to
:55:56. > :56:01.Burnley after his four-match ban. It looks like a 4-4-2. They will have a
:56:02. > :56:05.go at United's make-shift back four. Manchester United have have only
:56:06. > :56:12.lost one game in eight in all competitions. Only six points off
:56:13. > :56:17.the league leaders. Burnley are quite comfortable. Ibrahimovic is
:56:18. > :56:24.in. Burnley needed their goalkeeper. What a good goalkeeper he is proving
:56:25. > :56:30.this season, to make the save. Not scored in five league games. His
:56:31. > :56:35.worst run since 2010. Try to getlet ball out wide. No, he went narrow.
:56:36. > :56:48.Nacho was crying out for a pass. It's Burnley's chance to break.
:56:49. > :56:52.Gudmundsson. To Gray. Deflects away off Rojo. A red card to Ander
:56:53. > :57:01.Herrera. Look at his foot, it catches Marney. He knows he's done
:57:02. > :57:08.wrong. Rojo, Ibrahimovic. Will he shoot from there. Plays into Pogba.
:57:09. > :57:10.Ibrahimovic. Mee's header saves Burnley and denies Manchester United
:57:11. > :57:16.an opening goal, which would have been a special one. Lovely move.
:57:17. > :57:22.Beautiful backheel by Pogba. It was bending into the top corner.
:57:23. > :57:36.Herrera. Manchester United now beginning to dominate. That is a
:57:37. > :57:39.good save. It's Lingard this time denied by Heaton. Manchester United
:57:40. > :57:48.are getting closer. Good ball in, arriving deep, no-one watched him.
:57:49. > :57:55.No-one tracked the run. Herrera. Good movement this from Manchester
:57:56. > :58:03.United. He's gone down Darmian. He think it is was a penalty. I'm too
:58:04. > :58:07.sure if it was in the penalty area. Flannigan was off balance when he
:58:08. > :58:14.flicks out the foot. Whether he catches him, I'm not sure. Darmian
:58:15. > :58:17.makes a meal of it. That could have swayed the referee's decision.
:58:18. > :58:21.Manchester United kick-off the second-half in the red and white of
:58:22. > :58:25.course. It appears that Jose Mourinho is sitting in the stand
:58:26. > :58:29.with the fans. We gather that Jose Mourinho was talking to the
:58:30. > :58:32.officials in the tunnel at half-time, presumably about the late
:58:33. > :58:41.first half penalty shout that was denied. We believe he has been sent
:58:42. > :58:48.to the stands. That's a foul by Darmian.
:58:49. > :58:54.Keane was there, Arfield couldn't get over it. That was a bad miss. He
:58:55. > :58:58.could have brought it down and had a go. That's an opportunity
:58:59. > :59:02.squandered. Jose Mourinho has been asked to move further back, he's in
:59:03. > :59:17.the directors' box now. Ibrahimovic dropping into the ten
:59:18. > :59:24.role and profiting. There's Mata and there's the goalkeeper's leg again.
:59:25. > :59:29.What a game he has had. Heaton once more, back at Old Trafford, he has
:59:30. > :59:35.come back here and saved Burnley, not once or twice, but time and time
:59:36. > :59:41.again. Mata working well with Darmian. Settling for the corner
:59:42. > :59:57.there. Burnley switched off, could be made
:59:58. > :00:03.to pay. That's risky from Barnes and Herrera quickly to it, to
:00:04. > :00:11.Ibrahimovic. What a save. It was like Schmeichel! He has hurt
:00:12. > :00:17.himself. He's been a hero for Burnley. Ibrahimovic really hate
:00:18. > :00:23.this. That is a brilliant piece of goalkeeping, no wonder his arm is
:00:24. > :00:30.hurting. Manchester United look to counter the game. They have gone
:00:31. > :00:34.about their business and I'm all brisk fashion in the second half.
:00:35. > :00:41.Rashford, Ibrahimovic, dropping into the slightly deeper position.
:00:42. > :00:58.Mojo up from the back. Keane has done so well in the air. Is that a
:00:59. > :01:08.foul by Mata? It's hit the post, it will not go in. Ibrahimovic. Good
:01:09. > :01:14.defending, kept his eye on it there. It's a yellow card, I don't think
:01:15. > :01:21.you can complain, really. It wasn't a controlled challenge in any way.
:01:22. > :01:25.Mata with the free kick looking for Ibrahimovic. Will it come now? It
:01:26. > :01:33.will not go in for Manchester United! They've on absolutely
:01:34. > :01:39.everything but score. -- they have done absolutely everything but
:01:40. > :01:44.score. He slipped, he could be in trouble with the referee, Herrera.
:01:45. > :01:49.This is going to be a second yellow, and the red, and I think that's
:01:50. > :01:53.harsh. I think he slipped into the challenge, but Herrera has been sent
:01:54. > :01:57.off for Manchester United here. He has caught him but I think a bit of
:01:58. > :02:04.common sense might have been used there.
:02:05. > :02:10.In comes across, Ibrahimovic, that was the one that needed to go in,
:02:11. > :02:20.and it went wide. It just has not been the day. -- the day. But
:02:21. > :02:25.towards Fellaini, here's Rooney, back to Fellaini. Has a look,
:02:26. > :02:30.slightly off balance. Free kick given against Burnley. He says he
:02:31. > :02:39.pushed the ball out for a corner, yellow card. Can Blind set up a last
:02:40. > :02:44.gasp Manchester United winger? Pulled back to Rooney and it's gone
:02:45. > :02:54.over. Well worked free kick, but no end product. Points are slipped to
:02:55. > :02:57.get -- away, one of those days. I don't really know what happened and
:02:58. > :03:02.to be fair I think what is important is what the referee will write in
:03:03. > :03:06.the report. There were some big decisions, big decisions for
:03:07. > :03:11.penalties. What did you see of them? Fantastic work from the referee.
:03:12. > :03:18.There's a lot of noise around, they are top class as individuals. We
:03:19. > :03:22.know where we are, we note -- we know what we're looking for but it's
:03:23. > :03:27.still a great point away at Old Trafford. We created many chances,
:03:28. > :03:33.the only thing when you get three points if you finish, we didn't
:03:34. > :03:37.today. We came with a game plan but rode our luck at times and at
:03:38. > :03:40.certain points in the second half it was tin hat, but thankfully we have
:03:41. > :03:46.come away with a point, and a great place to do so. Certainly was,
:03:47. > :03:53.Burnley hung on to grim death, really, but Manchester United, 37
:03:54. > :03:57.shots at goal, the -- the most since records began and did manage to
:03:58. > :04:05.score one of them. Flat and had 12 attempts and non-went in. -- Zlatan
:04:06. > :04:08.Ibrahimovic. Some of the chances that they created here were
:04:09. > :04:15.incredible. You would fancy them to walk away with four or five and Tom
:04:16. > :04:19.Heaton made some brilliant saves, one of which is just superb, which
:04:20. > :04:24.we will see in a minute. They kept on going, they kept on passing it,
:04:25. > :04:27.kept on creating the chances. I mean, some of the defending was
:04:28. > :04:31.brilliant, goalkeeping was brilliant, but you just know that it
:04:32. > :04:37.isn't working for you, whatever you try. He looks better, Rashford up
:04:38. > :04:42.front with him in the second half, it added more pace to the game.
:04:43. > :04:47.Ibrahimovic has never been blessed with great pace, but when you get
:04:48. > :04:51.your 30s, Gary, that's the save I'm on about, that's an unbelievable
:04:52. > :04:58.saves, that is. I was saying about the pace that Ibrahimovic has, when
:04:59. > :05:05.I found in my career you lose a yard of pace, Craig Bellamy, last minute,
:05:06. > :05:11.came to help me with his pace at Newcastle. That's what Man United
:05:12. > :05:14.need, to have him upfront as well as Rashford to ask more questions,
:05:15. > :05:23.going in behind rather than facing up all the time. We have our penalty
:05:24. > :05:26.specialist again! You look like an old-fashioned referee to me. Darmian
:05:27. > :05:34.appeal, we think it's possible what pre-empted Jose to go to the stands.
:05:35. > :05:38.The events of recent weeks have got to him and this tipped him over. I
:05:39. > :05:42.think it's a penalty but he dramatises it somewhat, the way you.
:05:43. > :05:46.You see the kick, left shin. There's enough there. I think it's a
:05:47. > :05:50.penalty, he's on the line which means it's a penalty. You disagree
:05:51. > :05:56.question might I don't think there's enough contacts for him go down.
:05:57. > :06:01.Herrera, a bit unlucky, he just slipped? He's really unlucky. It's
:06:02. > :06:07.never, ever a booking. He should have stayed on the pitch. I agree.
:06:08. > :06:11.Jose Mourinho was up and down the steps, probably more tired than the
:06:12. > :06:16.players. It's just not happening for Jose. He looks a bit disgruntled,
:06:17. > :06:19.he's not happy. He doesn't know his best 11, he's playing around with
:06:20. > :06:25.the team and the formations, still trying to work it all out. Burnley
:06:26. > :06:29.deserves some credit. Digging in a game, against Everton last week,
:06:30. > :06:33.dominated for long periods, and again today and the Cabinet -- the
:06:34. > :06:36.keeper was fantastic. Middlesbrough were looking
:06:37. > :06:39.for a first home win of the season against a Bournemouth side who've
:06:40. > :06:56.yet to taste victory Middlesbrough got a 0-0 draw last
:06:57. > :06:58.week, unlucky not to will. Calum Chambers returns after being
:06:59. > :07:01.ineligible against his old club. Stewart Downing is back in midfield.
:07:02. > :07:07.He takes the place of Marten de Roon. Bournemouth also held one of
:07:08. > :07:13.the title contenders, Tottenham, to a scoreless draw last Saturday.
:07:14. > :07:18.Surman's recovery form illness sees him come back in for Gosling. When
:07:19. > :07:21.Bournemouth won the promotion to the top flight they had battled
:07:22. > :07:25.Middlesbrough neck and neck at the top of the Championship table. It's
:07:26. > :07:30.the first time these clubs have ever been in the top flight together.
:07:31. > :07:35.It's a good ball, might have been a hand ball. The referee says play on.
:07:36. > :07:42.Josh King was waiting in the middle. That will be the first corner of the
:07:43. > :07:49.game. Jack Wilshere, on loan from Arsenal, to take the corner. A free
:07:50. > :07:52.shot for King, headed off the line for Middlesbrough. Adam Clayton in
:07:53. > :07:56.the right place at the right time. When you look at analysis of teams
:07:57. > :08:02.who don't but a defender on the post defending set pieces like this,
:08:03. > :08:05.that's why teams do it. Former Middlesbrough player and manager,
:08:06. > :08:10.they still have his photo adorned as a player in the tunnel here at the
:08:11. > :08:15.Riverside Stadium. Now here on England managerial duty. Wilshere,
:08:16. > :08:24.head up all the time looking for options. Encourages Arter forward
:08:25. > :08:30.here. Wilshere once more. This could be in for King, a brilliant ball,
:08:31. > :08:33.Wilson, it comes back in off the crossbar. Did Victor Valdes get his
:08:34. > :08:36.fingertips to this on the way through? I think he did, it's just
:08:37. > :08:47.his fingertips but it's enough to push it onto the bar. Friend tracked
:08:48. > :08:51.all the way by King, good workrate. This is Ramirez, looking for
:08:52. > :08:58.Negredo. He pulled the trigger. This is Traore.
:08:59. > :09:06.Away by Francis, but not sufficiently. A poor cross by
:09:07. > :09:13.Downing. Again, George Friend. He gave it everything. A fraction more
:09:14. > :09:24.to the right-hand side Middlesbrough surely would have been 1-0 up.
:09:25. > :09:30.King challenged by Gaston Ramirez at the expense of the corner. Time
:09:31. > :09:37.beginning to run out for one of these teams to take the lead before
:09:38. > :09:42.the break. Wilshere's corner, headed away at the front post. Back in by
:09:43. > :09:47.Adam Smith, it's going to fall for Gaston Ramirez here. Chance of a
:09:48. > :09:52.counterattack for Middlesbrough and Ramirez shift effortlessly through
:09:53. > :10:01.the gears. He's going to take it on his own here. That is an exceptional
:10:02. > :10:08.goal from Gaston Ramirez! Zero to 60, in four seconds. Middlesbrough
:10:09. > :10:15.looking for the first home win of the season and Gaston Ramirez, from
:10:16. > :10:18.deep inside his own half, has quite simply created this all for himself.
:10:19. > :10:25.It's his first goal of the season will stop it's a very memorable one.
:10:26. > :10:34.Full of determination, full of thrust. Such a calm finish from the
:10:35. > :10:36.Uruguayan at the end. This would be a crucial first home win, if they
:10:37. > :10:43.can hold on for it. He's working very hard in the
:10:44. > :10:52.midfield. Looking for Negredo at the back
:10:53. > :11:16.post, it must be for Downing! Stewart Downing has delivered for
:11:17. > :11:21.Middlesbrough. Inevitably, Adama Traore involved in the build-up.
:11:22. > :11:26.Negredo was unselfish. It's a very good team goal for what is becoming
:11:27. > :11:36.a very good team performance. Bournemouth are in trouble now.
:11:37. > :11:45.It's beautifully played, Negredo, no power behind him. Well, his only
:11:46. > :11:50.goal so far this season came against Stoke on the opening weekend, and
:11:51. > :11:51.Alvaro Negredo looks to be a striker lowing confidence when shooting for
:11:52. > :12:03.goal. A good first half, Jack Wilson, he's
:12:04. > :12:09.been more quiet in the second period. A mistake by Barragan,
:12:10. > :12:15.Daniels, how long does he want? Smith, brave defending, maybe he
:12:16. > :12:18.held onto it just for too long and it needed a shot. The shot was
:12:19. > :12:31.probably on target. It was good skill from Fraser and
:12:32. > :12:39.Chambers was making sure he wasn't getting on the end of it. Adam Smith
:12:40. > :12:44.for Afobe, it hit his shoulder as much as anything. Benik Afobe E,
:12:45. > :12:49.shoulder more than his head. It lands on the top of the crossbar.
:12:50. > :12:51.You get the feeling this is not going to be Bournemouth's day.
:12:52. > :12:56.You get the feeling this is not going to be Bournemouth's day. We
:12:57. > :13:00.were really strong in the last two seasons and we needed today a
:13:01. > :13:06.performance like we played because our last three games have been
:13:07. > :13:11.really well, so now we had to show everybody that we could compete,
:13:12. > :13:15.especially at home. It was a big win for us, no disrespect to
:13:16. > :13:19.Bournemouth, this was a game we were looking to win. They are good team,
:13:20. > :13:24.they pass it around well and made it difficult for us, especially at the
:13:25. > :13:28.end. We deserved it, we created chances and were clinical. Otaegui
:13:29. > :13:32.has -- not a great performance from our perspective. We had chances and
:13:33. > :13:36.the goals we conceded were disappointing and they decided the
:13:37. > :13:40.game. They certainly did. Gaston Ramirez hasn't scored for almost two
:13:41. > :13:46.years but it was really worth the wait. What a goal, Danny?
:13:47. > :13:53.Incred goal. Technically very good. Bournemouth would be disappointed,
:13:54. > :14:00.to concede from your own corner. Bad touch. He closes the ball down. He
:14:01. > :14:05.has a lot to do. Win it back in your own box. He shows good pace. The
:14:06. > :14:11.calmness. On his weak foot. Can he finish? Goal of the day, for sure.
:14:12. > :14:16.After a terrific performance last week. Three points at home will do
:14:17. > :14:21.them the world of good. Decent start for Middlesbrough. Top side in the
:14:22. > :14:27.north-east, Alan? I knew you would get that in! As Danny said, they
:14:28. > :14:30.made a confident start. Took great confidence from their performance
:14:31. > :14:37.last week. That showed today with their win. I was speaking to Gibson
:14:38. > :14:39.and he is quietly confident. Looked solid, tough to Beattie as well.
:14:40. > :14:42.Watford, who began the day in the top half of the table,
:14:43. > :14:46.The visitors have slipped into the bottom three after six
:14:47. > :14:57.COMMENTATOR: Troy Deeney scored his 99th goal for Watford in their last
:14:58. > :15:00.match here at vicarage Road. Deeney would become the fifth Watford
:15:01. > :15:05.player to reach a century of goals for the club should he score today
:15:06. > :15:12.against a Hull side who conceded 11 in their last two away matches.
:15:13. > :15:16.Hernandez returns to the Hull team with Snodgrass out because of
:15:17. > :15:21.injury. Hull will start with a three-man defence. Harry Maguire
:15:22. > :15:25.coming in along site Curtice and Dawson as Mike Phelan looks for the
:15:26. > :15:32.formula that will end their run of defeats.
:15:33. > :15:44.Amrabat. Didn't quite reach him in the middle. Elmohamady couldn't
:15:45. > :15:49.clear. Deeney. Capoue, being urged to shoot. It got a touch off a Hull
:15:50. > :15:56.defender on the way. Came off Maguire. The option of a
:15:57. > :16:05.short-corner with Holebas in close attendance. And just against the
:16:06. > :16:13.crossbar from Younes Kaboul. What a header that was. Really firing its
:16:14. > :16:18.way towards the Hull goal. Picked up by Amrabat.
:16:19. > :16:36.Amrabat's ball in. Too high this time for Kaboul. Again, Watford
:16:37. > :16:41.strike the post. Robert Pereyra. Younes Kaboul meeting this firmly.
:16:42. > :16:45.When it's scrambled away, Roberto Pereyra, you can see what he's
:16:46. > :16:53.aiming to do here. So close, Watford, to getting the first goal
:16:54. > :17:03.of the afternoon. McDonald there to the left of Mike Phelan, new
:17:04. > :17:11.assistant manager at Hull. Maguire. He finds Elmohamady. Keane calling
:17:12. > :17:14.for it. Hernandez is there as well. Away by Prodl. Elmohamady.
:17:15. > :17:27.Livermore, a chance for a shot, perhaps. And for Mason. Gomes down
:17:28. > :17:39.to make the save. From Ryan Mason. A pretty comfortable save for Gomes as
:17:40. > :17:49.well. Capoue. Lovely control. Pereyra. Here's Ighalo. Amrabat.
:17:50. > :18:02.Pereyra offering an option, and here he is. Roberto Pereyra. Into the
:18:03. > :18:05.ground, Deeney! So close. Well, he knows how close he was to reaching
:18:06. > :18:12.100 goals in all competitions for Watford. Ighalo, stretching. It may
:18:13. > :18:15.well be that the presence of his strike partner was just enough to
:18:16. > :18:21.mean that Deeney didn't have too much view of that ball as it came
:18:22. > :18:27.across to him. Three wins, three draws and three defeats for Watford.
:18:28. > :18:35.Hopefully those wins will be increased to four come the end of
:18:36. > :18:41.the afternoon. Gomes with the save. Heurelho Gomes pure Yeos with his
:18:42. > :18:45.defenders. One touch from Keane. Hernandez is suddenly in behind.
:18:46. > :19:02.This is better from Hull, in the early exchanges in the Sirs half.
:19:03. > :19:12.Furious. Capoue. Amarah bra, up against Clucas. -- Amrabat up
:19:13. > :19:20.against Clucas. Oh, it's gone in. Watford celebrate the opening goal.
:19:21. > :19:30.Michael Dawson may well have got the final touch. It comes off Dawson.
:19:31. > :19:34.Hence the celebrations from the two Watford men, neither of whom could
:19:35. > :19:41.legitimately claim the goal because that is an own-goal. The touch off
:19:42. > :19:51.Michael Dawson, looping past David Marshall. There it is. It's Watford
:19:52. > :19:56.1, Hull 0. It's hard on Hull, you have to say. Mike Phelan's team at
:19:57. > :20:00.home to Southampton next and then, after the international break, a
:20:01. > :20:07.massive trip, away to fellow strugglers, Sunderland. Away by
:20:08. > :20:14.Gomes, into the last five minutes, plus stoppage-time. Able to turn.
:20:15. > :20:22.Pereyra was the target. Ighalo, wriggling through. Ighalo. Oh! Just
:20:23. > :20:25.the wrong side of the post. Brilliant play here from Odion
:20:26. > :20:31.Ighalo. He set himself up for the shot. Look how many defenders are
:20:32. > :20:38.around him. It's just wide. How hard is the manner of that defeat to
:20:39. > :20:43.take? It's very hard because you've got a depressed dressing room after
:20:44. > :20:52.the efforts and the work and all what they put into the game, really.
:20:53. > :20:55.It's cruel, you know, if it goes top corner, it happened against us this
:20:56. > :20:59.season, can you hold your hands up. We were competitive in the game. Our
:21:00. > :21:04.attitude was spot on. We created the best chances in the game, probably.
:21:05. > :21:09.We are on the end of another defeat. We need to react to that and I'm
:21:10. > :21:12.sure we will during next week. I'm happy on how they are are playing
:21:13. > :21:15.now. They are giving me a lot of satisfaction. From the way we are
:21:16. > :21:20.playing, the performance on the pitch, we deserve two or three
:21:21. > :21:24.points more at this stage. Watford's third clean sheet in a row, four
:21:25. > :21:32.games unbeaten. Up to seventh. They managed to win the game without
:21:33. > :21:37.having a single shot on target. Hit the woodwork twice, that doesn't
:21:38. > :21:43.countried count. The damage was done down the right hand side? Yes.
:21:44. > :21:47.Amrabat caused them problems. He gave Clucas a difficult afternoon
:21:48. > :21:51.down that side. He was quick, got balls into the box, whether it was
:21:52. > :21:57.first half or second-half. Just get at him. That is what he he did. They
:21:58. > :22:03.couldn't handle him a brilliant ball in. Deserved someone to be on the
:22:04. > :22:06.end of it. They did create one or two chances. They thoroughly
:22:07. > :22:11.deserved their victory. Should do better. Should hit the target. This
:22:12. > :22:14.was the goal. Ran in behind. Wasn't offside as they were appealing for
:22:15. > :22:19.it. They do get a little bit of luck for the goal when it eventually
:22:20. > :22:25.comes to Janmaat. Ball in the box and unlucky off Dawson. Enough for
:22:26. > :22:31.the victory. An own-goal. Well, as for Hull, it's... They are are six
:22:32. > :22:38.straight defeats in the league, testing times. Tough times, morsel
:22:39. > :22:46.lid today with Dawson in the side. Ironically he gave the goal away. I
:22:47. > :22:51.agree Gary with you that Sanchez is top-class. Arsenal fans not happy
:22:52. > :22:56.with you - not for the first time. Our time is up.
:22:57. > :22:58.The top three remain locked together on the same points.
:22:59. > :23:01.Manchester City's thumping win means they hold on to top spot,
:23:02. > :23:03.ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, on goal difference.
:23:04. > :23:05.Tottenham are three points further back in fourth.
:23:06. > :23:07.Winless Sunderland continue to prop up the league, three points adrift
:23:08. > :23:11.Hull complete the bottom three after suffering their sixth
:23:12. > :23:19.Let us see what the papers have to say. Jose Mourinho sending off is
:23:20. > :23:25.making the headlines. The Sun on Sunday says he could face a stadium
:23:26. > :23:32.ban after clashing with Mark Clattenburg. The Sunday Express ask
:23:33. > :23:33.- is he losing the plot? West Ham's Olympic Stadium is not fit for
:23:34. > :23:38.football and should be demolished. So the top three all score four
:23:39. > :23:42.while Jose draws a blank.
