COMMENTATOR: What a turn, what a goal! | :00:31. | :00:36. | |
COMMENTATOR: Look at that. Oh, look at that! | :00:37. | :00:50. | |
COMMENTATOR: Dele Alli. Eden Hazard. Ozil. Kevin | :00:51. | :00:57. | |
De Bruyne. Just one point. Early days, but the Premier League | :00:58. | :01:05. | |
is shaping up rather nicely. Just one point separates the top | :01:06. | :01:09. | |
five, we'll see four Much for Right Said | :01:10. | :01:11. | |
Fred to discuss. Bottom side Sunderland knew defeat | :01:12. | :01:15. | |
in the early game against Arsenal would see them equal the worst start | :01:16. | :01:19. | |
in Premier League history. The Gunners arrived at the Stadium | :01:20. | :01:22. | |
of Light unbeaten in eight. Things can only get better for David | :01:23. | :01:38. | |
Moyes, at the end of the week that has seen him sent to the stands, | :01:39. | :01:41. | |
charged by the FA and having his team playing cancelled on the way | :01:42. | :01:45. | |
back from Southampton. His latest challenge is to face and Arsenal | :01:46. | :01:50. | |
team unbeaten in 13 games in all competitions. David Moyes makes just | :01:51. | :01:54. | |
one change to the side beaten at West Ham last week, Billy Jones | :01:55. | :01:57. | |
starts for the first time this season and defence, Jermain Defoe is | :01:58. | :02:01. | |
only one of two Sunderland goal-scorers in the Premier League | :02:02. | :02:09. | |
this season, but he's only scored twice in 21 career games against | :02:10. | :02:11. | |
Arsenal. The Gunners without Santi Cazorla and have top scorer Theo | :02:12. | :02:14. | |
Walcott and Nacho Monreal out, so the start for Oxlade-Chamberlain and | :02:15. | :02:16. | |
for Gibbs. Giroud and Ramsey returned the substitutes. -- return | :02:17. | :02:24. | |
among the substitutes. Arsenal have won for out of the last five games | :02:25. | :02:30. | |
at the Stadium Of Light. Sunderland looking for any kind of positivity. | :02:31. | :02:32. | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain. They have found a way through, it's | :02:33. | :02:45. | |
Ozil. And Sunderland relieved he didn't generate any power there. | :02:46. | :02:51. | |
Watch Ozil's movement here, too much time, too much space, just couldn't | :02:52. | :02:55. | |
apply the finish. They don't want Arsenal to get into their stride. | :02:56. | :03:03. | |
Out of the right-hand side, Oxlade-Chamberlain kept it in. | :03:04. | :03:13. | |
Tidy from Arsenal. Oxlade-Chamberlain. There's the | :03:14. | :03:19. | |
cross towards Sanchez. Fantastic goal! Arsenal in front, Alexis | :03:20. | :03:26. | |
Sanchez with his 12th goal in 19 Premier League starts. To finish off | :03:27. | :03:31. | |
a fantastic delivery from Oxlade-Chamberlain. Inch perfect | :03:32. | :03:38. | |
header. His seventh of the season, Sunderland nil, Arsenal one. | :03:39. | :03:48. | |
Billy Jones, from range. A second opportunity, Khazri is offside, it | :03:49. | :03:55. | |
won't count, Defoe put it in the back of the net but the flag was | :03:56. | :04:01. | |
already up. When this came back to him, there was no need to debate | :04:02. | :04:08. | |
that. Sunderland somehow have to try and find a way back into this game. | :04:09. | :04:13. | |
One win in the last 43 Premier League matches when they've conceded | :04:14. | :04:19. | |
the first goal. And look at this, Ozil chasing. Pickford had come out | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
and was able to retrieve the situation as he backpedal. But that | :04:25. | :04:30. | |
was too easy for Arsenal. Nobody goes with Ozil. Jordan Pickford was | :04:31. | :04:38. | |
able to deny the German. Well, the problems are mounting up for | :04:39. | :04:42. | |
Sunderland because the captain is now being forced off through injury. | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
It's his hamstring. It's the end of John O'Shea's day. | :04:48. | :04:55. | |
Now Defoe. Away from Mustafi. One more. -- Watmore, trying to square | :04:56. | :05:08. | |
that for Steven Pienaar. You can feel the anxiety or around the | :05:09. | :05:12. | |
stadium. Potentially the clearest opportunity of the day for | :05:13. | :05:18. | |
Sunderland. Frustration for Arsenal, they've scored just the one goal so | :05:19. | :05:19. | |
far. He's got away from Kone and he was | :05:20. | :05:30. | |
pulled back by Kone, Martin Atkinson says no penalty. He's got the wrong | :05:31. | :05:37. | |
side of Kone, pulls him back the. That's surely a penalty? N'Dong to | :05:38. | :05:44. | |
try to get things moving for Sunderland. Watmore the intended, | :05:45. | :05:52. | |
and it's Duncan Watmore for Sunderland. Penalty! Yellow card for | :05:53. | :06:01. | |
Petr Cech and from nowhere Sunderland have an opportunity to | :06:02. | :06:09. | |
get back in the game. Hesitant from Mustafi, on went Watmore, caught by | :06:10. | :06:16. | |
Cech, and Arsenal, who could and should have had a penalty at one end | :06:17. | :06:22. | |
conceived one at the other. -- concede one at the other. Jermain | :06:23. | :06:26. | |
Defoe, who has only missed one of his last five penalties, those | :06:27. | :06:30. | |
supporters desperate for this one to go in. What a lifeline this is. Here | :06:31. | :06:42. | |
comes Defoe, 1-1. No nerves there. Defoe's this Premier League goal of | :06:43. | :06:47. | |
the season, his third in his career against Arsenal, and from nowhere | :06:48. | :06:52. | |
Sunderland are back on terms. There's the break. He was absolutely | :06:53. | :07:00. | |
desperate for it. Arsenal were searching for that second goal to | :07:01. | :07:03. | |
give themselves a cushion. Suddenly they've been pegged back. | :07:04. | :07:13. | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain too strong for Sanchez, back in from Gibbs and | :07:14. | :07:20. | |
headed over by Djilobodji. Olivier Giroud is returning for Arsenal. | :07:21. | :07:24. | |
Alex Iwobi is making way. Koscielny got his head to it. Just | :07:25. | :07:40. | |
couldn't get over it. Arsenal frustrated last weekend at dropping | :07:41. | :07:43. | |
two points against Middlesbrough. They will not want to repeat here on | :07:44. | :07:49. | |
Wearside. Gives with the cross, Giroud, what an introduction! First | :07:50. | :07:54. | |
touch for the Olivier Giroud results in a goal. His last goal against | :07:55. | :08:02. | |
Sunderland back in January and the French man puts the Gunners back in | :08:03. | :08:06. | |
front. Sanchez naturally involved. Gibbs with the cross. And Olivier | :08:07. | :08:12. | |
Giroud straight into the action to find the back of the net. Is that | :08:13. | :08:16. | |
what you call an inspired substitution? | :08:17. | :08:24. | |
Sanchez on the overlap, Ozil and Giroud in both waiting, it's in | :08:25. | :08:31. | |
towards Ozil. It could have easily been finished. That potentially | :08:32. | :08:32. | |
would have sealed it. Headed away by Jones. A high foot | :08:33. | :08:45. | |
from Januzaj, a free kick to Arsenal right on the edge of the penalty | :08:46. | :08:46. | |
area. It is to be Ozil's turn, deflected | :08:47. | :08:59. | |
off the wall for an Arsenal corner. It clips off the head of Rodwell. | :09:00. | :09:06. | |
Ozil's Ross, well met and Giroud, two for Giroud, three for Arsenal, | :09:07. | :09:17. | |
and that should be three points. He always seems to do it against | :09:18. | :09:23. | |
Sunderland as well. They got their first, Pickford got a hand to it but | :09:24. | :09:25. | |
couldn't keep it out. Having not scored against Sunderland | :09:26. | :09:35. | |
since January, he has two off the Ben stand its Sunderland one, | :09:36. | :09:42. | |
Arsenal three. Arsenal have introduced Ramsey for | :09:43. | :09:44. | |
Oxlade-Chamberlain, his first appearance since the opening weekend | :09:45. | :09:51. | |
of the season. Sanchez leaves it for Elneny. He knows he has Gibbs to his | :09:52. | :09:57. | |
left, ignores him. Here's Gibbs. Should have been four, might still | :09:58. | :10:03. | |
be. Sanchez, it is. He's got two as well. They are enjoying themselves | :10:04. | :10:07. | |
now, Arsenal. It's another tough day for David Moyes and Sunderland. 13 | :10:08. | :10:13. | |
minutes to go and they are already off. They've seen enough. They had a | :10:14. | :10:20. | |
few stabs at this one. Gibbs with the first, back off the woodwork, | :10:21. | :10:24. | |
then Ramsey had a go. It was third time lucky. Cool, calm and composed | :10:25. | :10:30. | |
from Alexis Sanchez, who scores his 50th Arsenal goal in just his 106 | :10:31. | :10:39. | |
appearance. Three goals in six minutes and 20 seconds have totally | :10:40. | :10:42. | |
taken away any hope and optimism that Sunderland had. It's a | :10:43. | :10:46. | |
difficult time to be a Sunderland supporters. Today, we missed many | :10:47. | :10:55. | |
chances and we were down to 1-1, but the performance was good. After that | :10:56. | :10:59. | |
it was a mental test, once we were down to 1-1, how we respond, do we | :11:00. | :11:04. | |
feel sorry for ourselves or go again and the strength to push, and that's | :11:05. | :11:08. | |
what we did an very convincing way and in the end it was a comfortable | :11:09. | :11:14. | |
win. We didn't deserve to lose in the fashion we did in the end. We | :11:15. | :11:17. | |
put up a good show to stick with Arsenal in the first half, when they | :11:18. | :11:20. | |
were good, and in the second half I thought we grew into the game and | :11:21. | :11:23. | |
deservedly got the goal to equalise. At that point you are hoping, look, | :11:24. | :11:28. | |
what it going to go, but Arsenal's quality and probably the strength | :11:29. | :11:31. | |
they have got from the bench, showed. Have you ever come off the | :11:32. | :11:37. | |
bench and scored with the first two touches before? Oh, it was my first | :11:38. | :11:41. | |
two touches, so I've been lucky, good deliveries from my team-mates | :11:42. | :11:47. | |
and I'm glad for the team. We carry on our good momentum. Ten games in, | :11:48. | :11:52. | |
how do you assess the situation? Are you getting your message and style | :11:53. | :11:56. | |
across? The results would say it's not but I'd say there's bits in it | :11:57. | :12:01. | |
where we are but you only ever get judged by your results. Yes, another | :12:02. | :12:05. | |
win for Arsenal, another defeat for Sunderland. Arsenal looking very | :12:06. | :12:10. | |
good and in particular Alexis Sanchez upfront, what a terrific | :12:11. | :12:14. | |
player, it doesn't seem to matter where he plays, does it? I think | :12:15. | :12:19. | |
they are better team with him as a centre forward. He was | :12:20. | :12:20. | |
they are better team with him as a centre forward. He was superb today. | :12:21. | :12:23. | |
He ran the defence of Sunderland ragged, all over the place, they | :12:24. | :12:27. | |
didn't have a clue how to deal with him, whether to go short. But what | :12:28. | :12:31. | |
was also impressive about Arsenal today as they had runners, midfield | :12:32. | :12:35. | |
runners, who were prepared to run past him. So when he went short for | :12:36. | :12:40. | |
the ball, they constantly did that the whole game. A superb ball in | :12:41. | :12:45. | |
the, should actually do better, but that was a constant theme of the | :12:46. | :12:51. | |
game. Again, he goes short, but it doesn't half make the job of a | :12:52. | :12:54. | |
centre forward easier when you have guys who are prepared to do that. | :12:55. | :12:58. | |
Defenders don't know whether to go with you or drop off come or what. | :12:59. | :13:02. | |
That was the case today with Sunderland. This was actually his | :13:03. | :13:06. | |
goal. Sanchez starts the move. The ball out to the right-hand side. | :13:07. | :13:10. | |
What's impressive about him, once he realises he can sniff a goal, look | :13:11. | :13:16. | |
at him getting on his bike to get into the box and it's a brilliant | :13:17. | :13:18. | |
ball in from Oxlade-Chamberlain. He's got three yards on him there, | :13:19. | :13:23. | |
Kone, but the determination of Sanchez to get across the front of | :13:24. | :13:26. | |
him, as you should do as a centre forward, and it's a superb header. | :13:27. | :13:33. | |
This again for Ozil, the form he's been in this season, a brilliant | :13:34. | :13:36. | |
ball in a game. He should actually score there. That was the first | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
half. The second half it didn't really change. He bought Giroud on | :13:41. | :13:45. | |
to play up front with Sanchez. He starts the move again. Lovely little | :13:46. | :13:50. | |
dummy. He gets into the box, gets into dangerous areas, and he was | :13:51. | :13:53. | |
quicker and sharper than anyone. The touch with his left foot there, | :13:54. | :13:57. | |
turn, flick with the right foot, he was superb all afternoon. A very | :13:58. | :14:06. | |
clever footballer, Arsenal looking good. The misery goes on for | :14:07. | :14:08. | |
Sunderland. David Moyes was saying he can see progress not necessarily | :14:09. | :14:11. | |
in results, but can you? I'm struggling, to be honest with you. | :14:12. | :14:14. | |
He's got to defend his team, I accept that. I think there was a | :14:15. | :14:19. | |
real problem for Sunderland today, in the shape. They've obviously | :14:20. | :14:23. | |
worked in the week on trying to keep a nice tight line, a 4-5- one and | :14:24. | :14:28. | |
stop Arsenal playing but they forgot to press. They didn't make any | :14:29. | :14:33. | |
tackles, didn't get in the face and they let Arsenal dictate play from | :14:34. | :14:37. | |
minute one. A free pass in the middle of the park. You can't do | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
that because with Arsenal's Remesy will cause yourself problems. At | :14:40. | :14:44. | |
times, all players apart from Defoe are so deep, players of Arsenal's | :14:45. | :14:50. | |
quality gain confidence from this. It's so easy for them. I couldn't | :14:51. | :14:53. | |
believe what was going on and by half-time the game should have been | :14:54. | :14:57. | |
over. They've got three or four options. This is from the goal. | :14:58. | :15:01. | |
Should have got closer, brings it down under no pressure. Here, | :15:02. | :15:08. | |
brushes him off. Comes out Oxlade-Chamberlain, he goes past | :15:09. | :15:11. | |
Watmore without doing a trick, just goes past him and Sanchez is the | :15:12. | :15:16. | |
only one in the box. There are three 6-foot plus defenders there. It's as | :15:17. | :15:20. | |
if it didn't matter, it's as if it is a team battling at the bottom of | :15:21. | :15:24. | |
the leak to stay in the Premier League. I feel sorry for Defoe, so | :15:25. | :15:28. | |
isolated in the team. They didn't get near Arsenal the whole afternoon | :15:29. | :15:32. | |
and it didn't change even in the second half. They never really went | :15:33. | :15:35. | |
for it at all and I know Arsenal have quality, but if Sunderland | :15:36. | :15:39. | |
continue to play with this negativity and go too deep and play | :15:40. | :15:40. | |
with fear they have no chance. Leaders Manchester City kicked off | :15:41. | :15:46. | |
at 3.00pm looking to end a run of six games without a win | :15:47. | :15:49. | |
in all competitions. Pep Guardiola's side | :15:50. | :15:51. | |
were in action at West Brom, who've lost nine in a row | :15:52. | :15:53. | |
against the visitors. COMMENTATOR: West Brom's starting XI | :15:54. | :16:02. | |
includes Chris Brunt for the first time since February and the knee | :16:03. | :16:06. | |
injury that saw him miss Northern Ireland's Euro adventure. Jonny | :16:07. | :16:07. | |
Evans is back from a one match ban Aguero is back. Manchester City will | :16:08. | :16:32. | |
almost certainly have more of it than albeean will today. That | :16:33. | :16:35. | |
doesn't guarantee three points. Sterling. Gone for it. Foster was | :16:36. | :16:43. | |
forced to save. Quickly recovered to gather again. Sterling did well to | :16:44. | :16:53. | |
get any sort of goal there, never mind one on target. Pep Guardiola | :16:54. | :16:58. | |
might have been there done it and won it. He says he needs time to | :16:59. | :17:03. | |
learn and improve now he's experiencing something new in the | :17:04. | :17:10. | |
Premier League. Good tackle by Nolito. Good turn by Nolito. He's | :17:11. | :17:14. | |
fouled by the retreating Craig Dawson. | :17:15. | :17:24. | |
Nice bit of skill to get away from Evans. Dawson found himself too | :17:25. | :17:34. | |
close. Nolito putting his head against Dawson's. He will be | :17:35. | :17:40. | |
yellowed carded by Lee Mason. Nolito has previous. Sergio Aguero is | :17:41. | :17:46. | |
having a word. You may recall that the Spaniard was sent off against | :17:47. | :17:51. | |
Bournemouth in September for reacting like that. Plenty of | :17:52. | :17:56. | |
Manchester City players are finding room to receive the ball in, in the | :17:57. | :18:02. | |
middle of the field. When they advance on West Brom's penalty area | :18:03. | :18:08. | |
it becomes as congested an Piccadilly Circus in rush-hour. | :18:09. | :18:15. | |
McAuley got it away. Sterling. Might have been going wide, Foster dare | :18:16. | :18:19. | |
not take that chance. Nice connection. Could easily have taken | :18:20. | :18:26. | |
a deflection, too. Pulis says on signing his new deal at the club he | :18:27. | :18:31. | |
wants to build things here and play his part in improving matters. Well, | :18:32. | :18:35. | |
he's certainly done that so far with West Bromwich Albion. Pokes it | :18:36. | :18:46. | |
through to Sergio Aguero! Brilliantly finished. What will that | :18:47. | :18:51. | |
do for his and Manchester City's confidence in general? That was | :18:52. | :19:00. | |
taken wonderfully well. Brilliant ball through to him from Ilkay | :19:01. | :19:05. | |
Gundogan. Aguero never needs long to size up the situation. He knows | :19:06. | :19:08. | |
where the goal is, he sees where the keeper is going to be and he hits | :19:09. | :19:13. | |
the ball at just the right time. West Bromwich Albion 0, Manchester | :19:14. | :19:20. | |
City 1. Sergio Aguero is back scoring again. Fernandinho. | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
Nearly came to Aguero. It has come to Aguero. Aguero's made the space | :19:31. | :19:37. | |
to shoot. And that is absolutely magnificent. Who's lacking | :19:38. | :19:48. | |
confidence now? Goodness me, that is some finish from Sergio Aguero. He | :19:49. | :19:53. | |
doesn't seem to need quite as much room as most other forward players | :19:54. | :19:59. | |
in the game. He only ever had the shot on his mind. It had the power | :20:00. | :20:05. | |
and the bend, and Ben Foster was well beaten. West Brom 0, Manchester | :20:06. | :20:09. | |
City 2. Fernandinho. Aguero. There's Nolito. | :20:10. | :20:28. | |
Gareth McAuley on the slide. Nolito keeps the ball alive. Sterling, he | :20:29. | :20:32. | |
does really well. Gundogan, deflected wide. Came off Nolito. | :20:33. | :20:40. | |
Albion are clinging on to just being two goals behind right now. That | :20:41. | :20:49. | |
little bit of crowd noise in their ears might just prompt West Brom to | :20:50. | :20:57. | |
push on a little bit more. Rondon, beats Claudio Bravo to it, but can't | :20:58. | :21:01. | |
find the target. Listen to that. There's as response from The | :21:02. | :21:07. | |
Hawthorns crowd. Curled in towards Salomon Rondon. Not to be for Tony | :21:08. | :21:13. | |
Pulis' team. He will like the way he upped the tempo since he made those | :21:14. | :21:17. | |
couple of substitutions a few minutes ago. McClean. Three in the | :21:18. | :21:26. | |
middle for him. McClean delivers. It's turned behind by Ronned Ron. . | :21:27. | :21:33. | |
-- Rondon. James McClean, for my money, has been their best player | :21:34. | :21:38. | |
today. He very nearly created the opening for Salomon Rondon there. | :21:39. | :21:53. | |
Navas. Good ball across. Here's Fernandinho, Aguero. Aguero, out of | :21:54. | :22:02. | |
the box to go back in. Gundogan, slides the ball in for 3-0. | :22:03. | :22:09. | |
Manchester City make angles where other teams can't find them. Look at | :22:10. | :22:12. | |
Aguero here. The players started to go to the right, following | :22:13. | :22:17. | |
Fernandinho and Navas. McClean was one of those guilty of playing those | :22:18. | :22:23. | |
onside in the middle. There is a bit of fortune. It clips off McAuley on | :22:24. | :22:29. | |
its way through to gunned gun, who finishes expertly. That will do it. | :22:30. | :22:36. | |
It's now West Brom 0, Manchester City 3. In from McClean. Here's | :22:37. | :22:51. | |
Leko. Lots to like about Leko. McAuley. Over the top from the | :22:52. | :23:01. | |
rebound. Take a bow Johnson than Leko. There are smiles on a few West | :23:02. | :23:06. | |
Brom faces now, even though their team is 3-0 down at home. It's | :23:07. | :23:09. | |
because of the 17-year-old substitute. Navas, Aguero, De | :23:10. | :23:29. | |
Bruyne. That's Gundogan! Oh so easy. City have strolled their way through | :23:30. | :23:38. | |
to four. All those games without a win. All those questions to Pep | :23:39. | :23:43. | |
Guardiola about, should he change his style? Not when the football is | :23:44. | :23:51. | |
as stylish as this. Kevin De Bruyne, waiting for the right time. Gundogan | :23:52. | :23:57. | |
made the rest look simple. It's four goals for Manchester City. | :23:58. | :24:02. | |
The Premier League, my friends, is tough. You win 2-0 and you don't | :24:03. | :24:13. | |
know why you play the best football, win crosses and second balls. The | :24:14. | :24:16. | |
first half we control absolutely this kind of thing. We cannot | :24:17. | :24:20. | |
because the openings are really good. The first half we played like | :24:21. | :24:24. | |
we did against Tottenham and Liverpool. We sat back waiting for | :24:25. | :24:29. | |
it to happen. Second-half, you know, the first 20 minute, 25 minutes we | :24:30. | :24:33. | |
gave it a go. We needed to score. That was important. Then, as the | :24:34. | :24:37. | |
game opens up, there is more space. They have real quality on the Has it | :24:38. | :24:41. | |
been break. A difficult time, six winless before today, did some | :24:42. | :24:46. | |
doubts and fears start to creep? If you have such a situation that we | :24:47. | :24:51. | |
had the last two or three weeks, then everything feels a little bit | :24:52. | :24:57. | |
harder. A little bit more difficult. But today was well-deserved and, | :24:58. | :25:02. | |
yeah, I hope we can just, yes, start the season off from zero again and | :25:03. | :25:06. | |
just do our thing. You have worked with some of the very best strikers. | :25:07. | :25:11. | |
Is Aguero up there with them? Of course, he's one of the best you | :25:12. | :25:14. | |
have to see how many goals he scores. Here in the Premier League, | :25:15. | :25:19. | |
how difficult it is. I love working with nice guys, nice people, Sergio | :25:20. | :25:23. | |
Aguero is one of them. Yes, Manchester City back winning. Sergio | :25:24. | :25:26. | |
Aguero back goalscoring as well. He has a re, maable record. Look at | :25:27. | :25:32. | |
that. Minutes per goal 106. 40 minutes per goal better than one | :25:33. | :25:37. | |
Alan Shearer. Who is on 200 plus goals in there then? He always has a | :25:38. | :25:42. | |
comeback? Is he a better player, will will he be a better player | :25:43. | :25:47. | |
under Pep Guardiola? It's hard to get much better in what he does in | :25:48. | :25:51. | |
scoring goals. The off the ball stuff is where Pep wants to improve | :25:52. | :25:58. | |
him. I noticed a different today. He seems to be more dynamic off the | :25:59. | :26:02. | |
ball, closing people down and chasing down. Last season you don't | :26:03. | :26:06. | |
see this so much. That is something that not... It's not been in his | :26:07. | :26:10. | |
game so much. He doesn't need to when he is scoring goals. Pep | :26:11. | :26:14. | |
expects more from his players. Here, with the ball, as I said, dynamic, | :26:15. | :26:17. | |
trying to get the team on the attack. Very good. Poor pass. He | :26:18. | :26:23. | |
waits and then he says, I have to win it back or the manager will be | :26:24. | :26:26. | |
on me. He won it back. That is something I don't really associate | :26:27. | :26:30. | |
with Aguero so much. That was a definite difference in his game | :26:31. | :26:34. | |
today. The thing we have seen so many times is this. The fantastic | :26:35. | :26:39. | |
runs. The willingness to get in the box. The ability to put the ball in | :26:40. | :26:44. | |
the back of the net. I mean, 13 goals in 13 games even though he has | :26:45. | :26:48. | |
been on a six game drought, which is remarkable. Missioned four | :26:49. | :26:56. | |
penalties. I don't know of another striker with this short back lift. | :26:57. | :26:59. | |
He needs half a yard. That is as good a finish as you will see. | :27:00. | :27:03. | |
Magnificent. It really is. He was trying to prove a point. He has been | :27:04. | :27:08. | |
left out of the team for the first time in his Manchester City career. | :27:09. | :27:12. | |
Biggest game of the season. Assisting as well. Clever pass. He | :27:13. | :27:21. | |
won't be left out this week, is he? 10.2 is a big difference to last | :27:22. | :27:27. | |
season's averages. We think it will be under 10 under Pep. One genuine | :27:28. | :27:33. | |
world-class player we have in our Premier League. Only one? Sanchez? I | :27:34. | :27:37. | |
just... When you look at his record, when you look at some of the goals | :27:38. | :27:41. | |
that he can score. The goals he has scored. He's world-class. OK. | :27:42. | :27:46. | |
Five games and plenty of goals still to come. | :27:47. | :27:52. | |
COMMENTATOR: Cabaye. Benteke! Dele Alli hits the bar. That's a bad | :27:53. | :28:11. | |
miss. He gave it everything. Hit the crossbar Kaboul. | :28:12. | :28:14. | |
Liverpool were looking to keep pace with Manchester City | :28:15. | :28:16. | |
They faced a Crystal Palace side who've suffered back-to-back defeats | :28:17. | :28:20. | |
Simon Brotherton was at Selhurst Park. | :28:21. | :28:28. | |
COMMENTATOR: Christian Benteke scored in an injury-time winner for | :28:29. | :28:32. | |
Liverpool in this fixture last season help is lining up against | :28:33. | :28:36. | |
them tonight for the first time since being surplus to requirements | :28:37. | :28:39. | |
over the summer, looking to add to an impressive tally of five goals in | :28:40. | :28:43. | |
six games against Liverpool while with Aston Villa. Palace welcome | :28:44. | :28:50. | |
back their captain, Scott Dann. Chung-Yong Lee is prepared to | :28:51. | :28:58. | |
Townsend. Moreno starts. Milner misses the match through I willness. | :28:59. | :29:01. | |
Illness. Liverpool in the luminous kit today, | :29:02. | :29:14. | |
which on the official sheet today was described as toxic. | :29:15. | :29:22. | |
Jordan Henderson to Coutinho, moving forward. First time in from Alberto | :29:23. | :29:31. | |
Moreno, Emre Can, slight deflection on the way in. Liverpool ahead after | :29:32. | :29:36. | |
a quarter of an hour. Well worked, finally finished, Emre Can. Palace | :29:37. | :29:47. | |
nil, Liverpool one. Moreno involved in the build-up, once the ball | :29:48. | :29:53. | |
played forward. A tight call, just onside. First-time patch and the | :29:54. | :30:00. | |
first time shot, takes the deflection on the way past Steve | :30:01. | :30:03. | |
Mandanda. Jurgen Klopp's team are head. That shot the deflecting in | :30:04. | :30:09. | |
off the Crystal Palace captain, Scott Dann. Palace, who were beaten | :30:10. | :30:16. | |
by 1-0 in their last home match, find themselves behind back that | :30:17. | :30:20. | |
scoreline now, fairly early in the game. That was a horrible slice, | :30:21. | :30:28. | |
which opens the door, and James McArthur equalises for Crystal | :30:29. | :30:31. | |
Palace. Less than three minutes after going behind, it was an | :30:32. | :30:40. | |
unexpected gift of an opportunity. Lovren's mistake and he paid dearly | :30:41. | :30:44. | |
for it. First time that Crystal Palace have really threatened here. | :30:45. | :30:50. | |
Sliced up into the air. McArthur kept his eye on the ball and made | :30:51. | :30:54. | |
sure he got there before the Liverpool goalkeeper, Loris Karius. | :30:55. | :30:57. | |
What a messy goal for Liverpool to conceive. A lead that doesn't last | :30:58. | :31:03. | |
long. It is Palace one, Liverpool one. Liverpool still without a clean | :31:04. | :31:11. | |
sheet away in the league since the 6-0 thrashing they handed out to | :31:12. | :31:16. | |
Aston Villa in February. Suddenly, Selhurst Park is absolutely rocking. | :31:17. | :31:23. | |
Liverpool so far with two thirds of the playbook Crystal Palace | :31:24. | :31:26. | |
responding well to going a goal behind. Here's Mane again, Tom Kings | :31:27. | :31:34. | |
is able to do enough. Liverpool have their first corner. Cabaye being | :31:35. | :31:40. | |
told to move the ball ten yards back by the referee here. Approach from | :31:41. | :31:46. | |
Coutinho, Joel Ward is there. That could be another corner. | :31:47. | :31:57. | |
Coutinho will try again. Oh, and Dejan Lovren has made amends. A | :31:58. | :32:04. | |
powerful header from the Croatian defender. Villa moments ago, -- a | :32:05. | :32:12. | |
villain moments ago, a hero once again for Liverpool. A pivotal | :32:13. | :32:16. | |
figure, twice in quick succession. That's more like it, says Jurgen | :32:17. | :32:22. | |
Klopp, and Liverpool back in front. Henderson sticks his foot in, no | :32:23. | :32:26. | |
foul. Away comes Lallana, a little bit of time and space in midfield | :32:27. | :32:31. | |
and now it's with Coutinho and alarm bells ringing for Palace at the back | :32:32. | :32:34. | |
once again. Moreno slamming the outside of the post. Confident and | :32:35. | :32:41. | |
the venomous shot from Alberto Moreno. Emre Can, only as far as | :32:42. | :32:55. | |
Tomkins. The ball up to Benteke, finds Wilfried Zaha. Floating that | :32:56. | :33:00. | |
one in and Crystal Palace are back in and it's James McArthur with his | :33:01. | :33:05. | |
second header of the first half! That's an incredible strike rate | :33:06. | :33:09. | |
from Crystal Palace's point of view, because they've hardly threatened in | :33:10. | :33:13. | |
this first half in the final third, but James McArthur has not only | :33:14. | :33:16. | |
scored twice, but twice with his forehead as well. It was Benteke | :33:17. | :33:21. | |
getting up well, Wilfried Zaha is always capable of creating with | :33:22. | :33:24. | |
dangerous deliveries and that's exactly what he does here, as | :33:25. | :33:29. | |
McArthur comes charging into head the ball home, getting in ahead of | :33:30. | :33:35. | |
Dejan Lovren. That header means that with 33 minutes played, it's Crystal | :33:36. | :33:37. | |
Palace two, Liverpool two. A stretch for Kelly, Firmino still | :33:38. | :33:52. | |
going here now. Gets the ball in. Coutinho, oh, it's off the post and | :33:53. | :33:57. | |
Palace survive and get it away. Liverpool hitting the woodwork for | :33:58. | :34:02. | |
the second time in the first half. Was that a hand ball thereby Joel | :34:03. | :34:10. | |
Ward, as the ball came in? Two and a half minutes to go in the first | :34:11. | :34:15. | |
half. Coutinho finding Mane. Hurtling forward is Nathaniel Clyne, | :34:16. | :34:21. | |
who wins a corner. Via a deflection off Martin Kelly. In the penalty | :34:22. | :34:28. | |
area for this one. Scott Dann trying to keep tabs on Lovren. Matip, free | :34:29. | :34:38. | |
header, Joel Matip celebrates his first goal for the club, Liverpool | :34:39. | :34:46. | |
ahead did -- for the first time -- Liverpool ahead for the third time | :34:47. | :34:49. | |
in an incredible first half. Mandanda unable to plot that one, | :34:50. | :34:56. | |
even though it was straight at him. Crystal Palace two, Liverpool three. | :34:57. | :35:04. | |
Cabaye foul. Can gets a yellow card. -- Cabaye was fouled. The first | :35:05. | :35:21. | |
yellow card of the game, that one. Tomkins with the delivery, up | :35:22. | :35:26. | |
towards Dann. It's in to Benteke, who brings the save from Karius. | :35:27. | :35:33. | |
That's got the crowd going again the start of the second half here. | :35:34. | :35:39. | |
Andros Townsend amongst the substitutes for Crystal Palace | :35:40. | :35:43. | |
today, the first time this season Alan Pardew hasn't put him in the | :35:44. | :35:48. | |
starting XI. This is Coutinho now, in towards Sadio Mane. Mane brings a | :35:49. | :35:56. | |
save from Mandanda. Sadio Mane was in the. Liverpool's first really | :35:57. | :36:03. | |
good effort of the second half. Wilfried Zaha hustling, bustling, | :36:04. | :36:06. | |
refusing to be halted by the Liverpool defence. They are | :36:07. | :36:10. | |
screaming for a penalty, the referee says no. Cabaye stretching, makes | :36:11. | :36:18. | |
the save and Palace continue to protest that they should have a | :36:19. | :36:25. | |
penalty kick. Zaha racing into the box, penalty not given here. It was | :36:26. | :36:31. | |
the second one. The referee again very well placed to make the call. | :36:32. | :36:36. | |
Cabaye almost in and Karius bravely added his feet. Now, Crystal Palace | :36:37. | :36:44. | |
can sweep forwards. McArthur finding Benteke. He's got Zaha a of him on | :36:45. | :36:49. | |
the far side and Zaha goes down inside the box, under pressure from | :36:50. | :36:53. | |
Emre Can and again Andre Marriner says, no. A similar sort of | :36:54. | :36:58. | |
position. Marriner is quite a distance away from that. No penalty | :36:59. | :37:03. | |
for Crystal Palace. To be honest no major protest from Wilfried Zaha | :37:04. | :37:05. | |
after that decision from the referee. Lovely ball forward, into | :37:06. | :37:13. | |
Firmino. Over Steve Mandanda and just like that, Liverpool have | :37:14. | :37:17. | |
sliced Crystal Palace open again and they lead by 4-2 and surely that is | :37:18. | :37:22. | |
not a lead they are going to surrender this evening. Roberto | :37:23. | :37:28. | |
Firmino, who scored here in last season's 2-1 victory for Liverpool | :37:29. | :37:32. | |
scores the fourth goal of the day. Mane with the pass back, Henderson | :37:33. | :37:37. | |
spotted the opening, played onside by Tomkins a lovely ball. An | :37:38. | :37:42. | |
excellent finish as well. Cool, and composed, a delightful link over the | :37:43. | :37:52. | |
Crystal Palace goalkeeper. -- dink. We worked hard, defended well at | :37:53. | :37:56. | |
times but we should have had more pressure on Liverpool. They are good | :37:57. | :38:00. | |
team though and some of the tight control over some of the tight | :38:01. | :38:05. | |
technical play, when we was in and around them, was unsettling is | :38:06. | :38:08. | |
because they kept getting out of it with the ball. Two set plays though, | :38:09. | :38:14. | |
that's not us. Your first goal for Liverpool, a special moment for you? | :38:15. | :38:19. | |
Of course, I'm happy I could score, the last game I had one or two | :38:20. | :38:23. | |
opportunities but this time I could use a wonderful corner and only had | :38:24. | :38:28. | |
to. I could have bet on many things before the match, to be fair I don't | :38:29. | :38:32. | |
think that betting on you being on a hat-trick before half-time with two | :38:33. | :38:35. | |
headers put -- would have been one of the things I would put money on! | :38:36. | :38:40. | |
You are right, the gaffer has been trying to get me to go forward and | :38:41. | :38:45. | |
playing someone like Christian Benteke, who wins his fair share | :38:46. | :38:48. | |
roughly once, so it gives you encouraged to get there. Three | :38:49. | :38:52. | |
penalty claims which I thought were tight, but we had a tight one given | :38:53. | :38:56. | |
against us last year with the same referee. It was far away from being | :38:57. | :39:02. | |
perfect, far away, but at Crystal Palace not a lot of teams will win | :39:03. | :39:07. | |
the perfect game so we have to fight for every moment. I saw it in the | :39:08. | :39:10. | |
first half, with the movement. The beginning of the second half, we | :39:11. | :39:15. | |
would have scored better so it was quite intense for as. To have to run | :39:16. | :39:22. | |
so much. Three points and we won at Crystal Palace, nothing to moan | :39:23. | :39:26. | |
about. He is and -- as entertaining in his interviews as his team are | :39:27. | :39:29. | |
playing football, they played beautiful stuff going forward, he | :39:30. | :39:32. | |
said it wasn't perfect and I presume he means about the other end of the | :39:33. | :39:36. | |
pitch but going forward they are delightful. They have so many | :39:37. | :39:41. | |
options and the play with a freedom and I think he just says to these | :39:42. | :39:46. | |
guys, go and play wherever you want, go and enjoy yourselves and have fun | :39:47. | :39:49. | |
because that's what it looks as if it is what is happening. They are | :39:50. | :39:52. | |
all over the park up front, the three of them, not stuck in a new | :39:53. | :39:56. | |
positions. They can have the ball short, they can play the ball one, | :39:57. | :40:01. | |
they can have it into feed. The stretch teams and whether someone on | :40:02. | :40:06. | |
the left-hand side, Coutinho, or Firmino, Mane, they'd just do all | :40:07. | :40:13. | |
play in different positions and they all chip in. They are all a goal | :40:14. | :40:16. | |
threat. They should have had more goals today because of the chances | :40:17. | :40:20. | |
they had. That should have been a goal for Coutinho. They can have the | :40:21. | :40:25. | |
give and going behind the linkup play between them they are so | :40:26. | :40:31. | |
difficult to contain and not many teams would be able to do that. | :40:32. | :40:35. | |
There's another chance, that should be in the back of the net. The | :40:36. | :40:39. | |
number of chances they created because of the energy they have and | :40:40. | :40:43. | |
as I say, they do stretch teams. Another very good chance should be | :40:44. | :40:46. | |
on the back of the net, a poor finish. The goal they scored, a | :40:47. | :40:52. | |
beautiful ball from Henderson. What about that for a finish? They remind | :40:53. | :40:58. | |
me of the Newcastle team 20 odd years ago, that they were just | :40:59. | :41:03. | |
superb, Keegan with Beardsley and general and Les Ferdinand and the | :41:04. | :41:06. | |
number of chances they created but the one thing that could cost them | :41:07. | :41:10. | |
would be defensively if they don't improve. If they don't do it at the | :41:11. | :41:15. | |
other end. There was talk, we saw Alan Pardew talking about the | :41:16. | :41:17. | |
official Andrei Marriner, who refereed the game last year when | :41:18. | :41:21. | |
Benteke got the penalty for Liverpool on that occasion right at | :41:22. | :41:24. | |
the end, it was quite controversial. He said he didn't think he should | :41:25. | :41:28. | |
have refereed this game today. There were three kind of dubious | :41:29. | :41:39. | |
decisions. Have a look at them, Danny. I think they are dubious. I | :41:40. | :41:42. | |
don't agree with not refereeing, you can't start taking referees off | :41:43. | :41:44. | |
games. This one isn't, for me. He goes over too easily. He's running | :41:45. | :41:49. | |
at pace. Matip on Benteke, that was really clumsy, some referees would | :41:50. | :41:53. | |
have given that but if he's not sure, he can't give it, I understand | :41:54. | :41:58. | |
that. I don't think that's a penalty. That one is clumsy. I don't | :41:59. | :42:03. | |
think that's a penalty. Some referees would have given it. This | :42:04. | :42:08. | |
one is, for me, no reason for Zaha to go down. We have seen a few | :42:09. | :42:13. | |
angles of course, so we have the benefit of that but he kicks away | :42:14. | :42:16. | |
his left leg. It's a definite penalty. At that point it could have | :42:17. | :42:21. | |
been 3-3 and that would have been Emre Can's second booking. I looked | :42:22. | :42:25. | |
at all the decisions and I think they're all dubious and for the | :42:26. | :42:29. | |
referee to give a penalty he has to be 100% right and have a looked at | :42:30. | :42:32. | |
all those decisions, if he could have given one it might have been | :42:33. | :42:36. | |
what that one but I'm not 100% certain, so I think he is right not | :42:37. | :42:41. | |
to give it. They say your eyesight gets worse as you get older! What | :42:42. | :42:51. | |
chance have referees got? We've had 47 replays and car make your minds | :42:52. | :42:52. | |
up. To White Hart Lane next, | :42:53. | :42:54. | |
where unbeaten Spurs hosted champions Leicester, | :42:55. | :42:56. | |
who've yet to pick up a point To Tottenham return to a near normal | :42:57. | :43:11. | |
line-up. Sissoko is suspended and Eric Malala joins them today with | :43:12. | :43:17. | |
illness, so two strikers, Son Heung-min, who has been scoring, and | :43:18. | :43:24. | |
Johnson, who hasn't. Jamie Vardy is back after arrest, he replaces Islam | :43:25. | :43:29. | |
Slimani, who has a slight injury, and the champions play in Copenhagen | :43:30. | :43:33. | |
on Wednesday. If they win there they are through to the last 16 of the | :43:34. | :43:35. | |
Champions League. Feel-good factor around White Hart | :43:36. | :43:45. | |
Lane. Unbeaten, Tottenham, in nine games before today in the Premier | :43:46. | :43:55. | |
League. Forward by Eriksen. . He thought it was a corner. The referee | :43:56. | :44:04. | |
has overruled. In comes Dier. Oh, that wasn't a good clearance. And | :44:05. | :44:13. | |
back again. Dele Alli had a shot there that was sheer reflexes from | :44:14. | :44:18. | |
Kasper Schmeichel. Dele Alli disappointed. Schmeichel, with great | :44:19. | :44:24. | |
respect to David de Gea, I would say at the moment is the most consistent | :44:25. | :44:35. | |
goalkeeper in the Premier League. It's gone behind Janssen. Dele Alli | :44:36. | :44:44. | |
thought he should have had a penalty. It would have been a soft | :44:45. | :44:48. | |
one, if he gave it. Not an easy first half for Tottenham this. | :44:49. | :44:52. | |
Mahrez intercepts there. He comes into the last third for Leicester. | :44:53. | :44:56. | |
Okazaki. Corner to Leicester. That's deep. Oh, Fuchs. Now, he was | :44:57. | :45:15. | |
asking a bit much of himself to hit it from here. Fizzing over the | :45:16. | :45:20. | |
crossbar, a warning to Spurs. Long ball from Vertonghen. Fuchs caught | :45:21. | :45:32. | |
out there a bit, I thought. Oh, Dele Alli hits the bar. Here he is again. | :45:33. | :45:38. | |
He has found Son. He's trying to beat three Leicester players on his | :45:39. | :45:43. | |
own and commits a foul, but it was Dele Alli there that very nearly | :45:44. | :45:47. | |
brought this game into life. The best effort of the first half, | :45:48. | :46:00. | |
without a doubt. Goodbye Walker. When it found Alli eventually. | :46:01. | :46:04. | |
Surrounded by blue shirts. He gets a free-kick. Just a suggestion here | :46:05. | :46:11. | |
that Tottenham are turning the screw slowly on Leicester towards the end | :46:12. | :46:17. | |
of the first half. He's chipped it in low. Headed on by Dier, then back | :46:18. | :46:23. | |
in. Half away by Drinkwater - oh, penalty. Penalty. Huth complains. | :46:24. | :46:37. | |
Bobby Madeley was on-the-spot there. It's a bit of a pull by Huth in my | :46:38. | :46:43. | |
view. Had is the man who gave it away. The man who scored here last | :46:44. | :46:50. | |
season. Vincent Janssen, can he beat Kasper Schmeichel? He can! Vincent | :46:51. | :46:57. | |
Janssen scores his first Premier League goal and sometimes, in games | :46:58. | :47:01. | |
like this, a decision like that can make all the difference. Jamie Vardy | :47:02. | :47:09. | |
might take advantage of that back header. Oh, here's Musa. Leicester | :47:10. | :47:19. | |
City have equalised. Ahmed Musa, after two-and-a-half minutes of the | :47:20. | :47:24. | |
second-half, has scored for Leicester. Good unselfish play by | :47:25. | :47:29. | |
Jamie Vardy, let's mention that. But Musa finds the place at the far-post | :47:30. | :47:34. | |
to take advantage. This is where Vardy's pace can catch out any team | :47:35. | :47:41. | |
and Musa, kind of, knocked that in via Lloris. This is the first | :47:42. | :47:47. | |
outfield goal in open play, scored against Tottenham this season. They | :47:48. | :47:54. | |
are feeding Walker when they can on this right hand side. He still has a | :47:55. | :48:02. | |
bit to do to make enrodes. This is Dele Alli. Nice turn. Now that might | :48:03. | :48:07. | |
be... Oh, well I thought for a moment Dele Alli had fouled King. | :48:08. | :48:12. | |
It's gone October other way. Dele Alli appeared to wrap his leg around | :48:13. | :48:15. | |
King and then went down. So Spurs have the free-kick. Janssen. Oh, | :48:16. | :48:22. | |
he's clipped the top of the goal. Janssen with his left foot. He's | :48:23. | :48:26. | |
just close to being the sort of striker Spurs need, but he's just a | :48:27. | :48:33. | |
little bit short. Dele Alli. Wanyama. Walker. | :48:34. | :48:39. | |
Janssen. Oh, he might have squeezed it in there. Hard luck on Vincent | :48:40. | :48:51. | |
Janssen. A bit of pulling on the shirt again by Robert Huth there. | :48:52. | :48:54. | |
They are loving this. They are off to Copenhagen on Wednesday, would | :48:55. | :48:57. | |
you believe, hoping for a place in the last 16 of the Champions League. | :48:58. | :49:06. | |
Dembele. Dier is becoming more prominent now in the Leicester half. | :49:07. | :49:17. | |
Wanyama. Oh, he's hit the bar, Vertonghen. That's the second time | :49:18. | :49:21. | |
Tottenham have hit the bar today. It's Jan Vertonghen, last Premier | :49:22. | :49:27. | |
League goal March 2013. Nearly got one there. Schmeichel couldn't do | :49:28. | :49:28. | |
much about that. Oh, Leicester free-kick. Foul. | :49:29. | :49:50. | |
Curled in. Headed just wide. Fuchs took it with his left foot. I don't | :49:51. | :49:54. | |
know whether Lloris would have got that, possibly. Disappointed. We | :49:55. | :50:01. | |
created chances. We dominated the game. But, you know, disappointed | :50:02. | :50:08. | |
with the way we conceded the goal. It was the only shot on target we | :50:09. | :50:16. | |
concede. It's hard. It's hard to miss two points today in a game | :50:17. | :50:21. | |
that, after 90 minutes, that we see on the pitch. Are are you pleased | :50:22. | :50:26. | |
with the point? Yes. Pleased with the point and our performance, with | :50:27. | :50:32. | |
our spirit. I saw the Leicester spirit when we play together, when | :50:33. | :50:35. | |
we fight together and help each other. Very good performance today. | :50:36. | :50:40. | |
Feels like a day to learn the lessons from? Definitely. Every game | :50:41. | :50:45. | |
is, whether you win, lose or draw. We drew today. The only positive is | :50:46. | :50:50. | |
that we have not lost. We go again, these next two games. They are the | :50:51. | :50:54. | |
biggest... It will be a big week for Tottenham. You never know, it could | :50:55. | :50:58. | |
make-or-break our season. We have to win. We have to get six points from | :50:59. | :51:03. | |
the next two games, without a doubt. Another penalty to debate, Danny. | :51:04. | :51:09. | |
This was given. Thoughts? Well, I think, first and foremost, there is | :51:10. | :51:13. | |
an incident before the penalty was given that is really important the | :51:14. | :51:19. | |
referee missed. He pulls his shirt. A free-kick in itself. I understand | :51:20. | :51:23. | |
why he missed it. He is watching the flight of the ball, but this bit | :51:24. | :51:28. | |
here. He puts his arm on his shoulder, Huth, Janssen goes down | :51:29. | :51:33. | |
too easily. That's never a penalty. He's done... I say he's conning the | :51:34. | :51:40. | |
ref. That is harsh. He has done what striker's do, made the most of an | :51:41. | :51:43. | |
arm on a you willed strongholder. It doesn't warrant going down like | :51:44. | :51:46. | |
that. Fair play he got up, had the confidence, even though he hasn't | :51:47. | :51:50. | |
scored in the Premier League before, and smashed the penalty in. | :51:51. | :51:55. | |
Hopefully that is the springboard. I thought that was soft. It was soft. | :51:56. | :52:03. | |
Five wins, phial draws for Spurs. Very difficult team to beat, but can | :52:04. | :52:07. | |
they turn enough draws into victories to be a title contender? | :52:08. | :52:11. | |
Defensively very good, best in the league. I know Harry Kane makes a | :52:12. | :52:15. | |
huge difference. When teams play against them now, what they did last | :52:16. | :52:19. | |
season is they stretched teams more. I don't think they are doing that. | :52:20. | :52:23. | |
The pace of their play, particularly in the final third, is not as sharp | :52:24. | :52:28. | |
as it has been or could be. At times you could throw a blanket over the | :52:29. | :52:32. | |
front four, if you like, they play very narrow. They are not stretching | :52:33. | :52:37. | |
teams as they did last year. The This is poor. Janssen struggled. He | :52:38. | :52:44. | |
got his penalty. He hasn't made the impact they want him to. Poor, | :52:45. | :52:49. | |
again. A lot of their play comes from their full-backs. He is looking | :52:50. | :52:52. | |
for options there. He is saying to them - come on, move for me, run in | :52:53. | :52:57. | |
behind, help me out here. Again, very narrow, all three of them. Long | :52:58. | :53:03. | |
ball out to the opposite side here Walker. There is the four guys | :53:04. | :53:11. | |
again. As I said, it was slow, it eventually comes back into Dembele. | :53:12. | :53:15. | |
He has too many touches. No options, takes a touch, another touch. Gets | :53:16. | :53:20. | |
caught on the ball. That's them defending far too easy. This sort of | :53:21. | :53:24. | |
summed their game up. Tried something different. Brought a sub | :53:25. | :53:28. | |
on. Tried to get in behind, but it isn't, working for them. They have | :53:29. | :53:32. | |
to get their sharpness back into the game and ask more questions of the | :53:33. | :53:36. | |
back four. As for Leicester, Danny, they have lost all the previous four | :53:37. | :53:39. | |
league games this season. It was much more like the Leicester of last | :53:40. | :53:44. | |
season, wasn't it? Best away performance by a mile. Lots of | :53:45. | :53:49. | |
positives. Only one of the new signings, Musa, was in the team | :53:50. | :53:53. | |
today. It's like Leicester of last season. They deserve credit for that | :53:54. | :53:58. | |
performance. Leicester were good in the second-half. Deserved a point. | :53:59. | :54:02. | |
Back in the title race, yeah? You've been drinking again! | :54:03. | :54:06. | |
Match of the Day 2 could be a shocker, let's hope | :54:07. | :54:08. | |
5Live and the BBC Sport website will have commentary | :54:09. | :54:32. | |
The Women's Football Show follows Match of the Day 2. | :54:33. | :54:38. | |
And, looking ahead, Friday sees live FA Cup first round action. | :54:39. | :54:41. | |
Eastleigh versus Swindon at 7.30pm on BBC Two. | :54:42. | :54:56. | |
COMMENTATOR: It's Bentley. Oh, what a try. Oh, what a goal! David | :54:57. | :55:02. | |
Bentley, against his old club. It's just one win in six league | :55:03. | :55:12. | |
games for Manchester United. Jose Mourinho's side entertained | :55:13. | :55:15. | |
Burnley, who've not won COMMENTATOR: It's 95 years since | :55:16. | :55:31. | |
Manchester United last even failed to score in a home top-flight game | :55:32. | :55:35. | |
against Burnley, who have yet to pick up an away point so history | :55:36. | :55:42. | |
suggest the first victory in five for United. Jose Mourinho says they | :55:43. | :55:48. | |
need to win. Valencia underwent arm surgery today. Andre Gray returns to | :55:49. | :55:55. | |
Burnley after his four-match ban. It looks like a 4-4-2. They will have a | :55:56. | :56:01. | |
go at United's make-shift back four. Manchester United have have only | :56:02. | :56:05. | |
lost one game in eight in all competitions. Only six points off | :56:06. | :56:12. | |
the league leaders. Burnley are quite comfortable. Ibrahimovic is | :56:13. | :56:17. | |
in. Burnley needed their goalkeeper. What a good goalkeeper he is proving | :56:18. | :56:24. | |
this season, to make the save. Not scored in five league games. His | :56:25. | :56:30. | |
worst run since 2010. Try to getlet ball out wide. No, he went narrow. | :56:31. | :56:35. | |
Nacho was crying out for a pass. It's Burnley's chance to break. | :56:36. | :56:48. | |
Gudmundsson. To Gray. Deflects away off Rojo. A red card to Ander | :56:49. | :56:52. | |
Herrera. Look at his foot, it catches Marney. He knows he's done | :56:53. | :57:01. | |
wrong. Rojo, Ibrahimovic. Will he shoot from there. Plays into Pogba. | :57:02. | :57:08. | |
Ibrahimovic. Mee's header saves Burnley and denies Manchester United | :57:09. | :57:10. | |
an opening goal, which would have been a special one. Lovely move. | :57:11. | :57:16. | |
Beautiful backheel by Pogba. It was bending into the top corner. | :57:17. | :57:22. | |
Herrera. Manchester United now beginning to dominate. That is a | :57:23. | :57:36. | |
good save. It's Lingard this time denied by Heaton. Manchester United | :57:37. | :57:39. | |
are getting closer. Good ball in, arriving deep, no-one watched him. | :57:40. | :57:48. | |
No-one tracked the run. Herrera. Good movement this from Manchester | :57:49. | :57:55. | |
United. He's gone down Darmian. He think it is was a penalty. I'm too | :57:56. | :58:03. | |
sure if it was in the penalty area. Flannigan was off balance when he | :58:04. | :58:07. | |
flicks out the foot. Whether he catches him, I'm not sure. Darmian | :58:08. | :58:14. | |
makes a meal of it. That could have swayed the referee's decision. | :58:15. | :58:17. | |
Manchester United kick-off the second-half in the red and white of | :58:18. | :58:21. | |
course. It appears that Jose Mourinho is sitting in the stand | :58:22. | :58:25. | |
with the fans. We gather that Jose Mourinho was talking to the | :58:26. | :58:29. | |
officials in the tunnel at half-time, presumably about the late | :58:30. | :58:32. | |
first half penalty shout that was denied. We believe he has been sent | :58:33. | :58:41. | |
to the stands. That's a foul by Darmian. | :58:42. | :58:48. | |
Keane was there, Arfield couldn't get over it. That was a bad miss. He | :58:49. | :58:54. | |
could have brought it down and had a go. That's an opportunity | :58:55. | :58:58. | |
squandered. Jose Mourinho has been asked to move further back, he's in | :58:59. | :59:02. | |
the directors' box now. Ibrahimovic dropping into the ten | :59:03. | :59:17. | |
role and profiting. There's Mata and there's the goalkeeper's leg again. | :59:18. | :59:24. | |
What a game he has had. Heaton once more, back at Old Trafford, he has | :59:25. | :59:29. | |
come back here and saved Burnley, not once or twice, but time and time | :59:30. | :59:35. | |
again. Mata working well with Darmian. Settling for the corner | :59:36. | :59:41. | |
there. Burnley switched off, could be made | :59:42. | :59:57. | |
to pay. That's risky from Barnes and Herrera quickly to it, to | :59:58. | :00:03. | |
Ibrahimovic. What a save. It was like Schmeichel! He has hurt | :00:04. | :00:11. | |
himself. He's been a hero for Burnley. Ibrahimovic really hate | :00:12. | :00:17. | |
this. That is a brilliant piece of goalkeeping, no wonder his arm is | :00:18. | :00:23. | |
hurting. Manchester United look to counter the game. They have gone | :00:24. | :00:30. | |
about their business and I'm all brisk fashion in the second half. | :00:31. | :00:34. | |
Rashford, Ibrahimovic, dropping into the slightly deeper position. | :00:35. | :00:41. | |
Mojo up from the back. Keane has done so well in the air. Is that a | :00:42. | :00:58. | |
foul by Mata? It's hit the post, it will not go in. Ibrahimovic. Good | :00:59. | :01:08. | |
defending, kept his eye on it there. It's a yellow card, I don't think | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
you can complain, really. It wasn't a controlled challenge in any way. | :01:15. | :01:21. | |
Mata with the free kick looking for Ibrahimovic. Will it come now? It | :01:22. | :01:25. | |
will not go in for Manchester United! They've on absolutely | :01:26. | :01:33. | |
everything but score. -- they have done absolutely everything but | :01:34. | :01:39. | |
score. He slipped, he could be in trouble with the referee, Herrera. | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
This is going to be a second yellow, and the red, and I think that's | :01:45. | :01:49. | |
harsh. I think he slipped into the challenge, but Herrera has been sent | :01:50. | :01:53. | |
off for Manchester United here. He has caught him but I think a bit of | :01:54. | :01:57. | |
common sense might have been used there. | :01:58. | :02:04. | |
In comes across, Ibrahimovic, that was the one that needed to go in, | :02:05. | :02:10. | |
and it went wide. It just has not been the day. -- the day. But | :02:11. | :02:20. | |
towards Fellaini, here's Rooney, back to Fellaini. Has a look, | :02:21. | :02:25. | |
slightly off balance. Free kick given against Burnley. He says he | :02:26. | :02:30. | |
pushed the ball out for a corner, yellow card. Can Blind set up a last | :02:31. | :02:39. | |
gasp Manchester United winger? Pulled back to Rooney and it's gone | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
over. Well worked free kick, but no end product. Points are slipped to | :02:45. | :02:54. | |
get -- away, one of those days. I don't really know what happened and | :02:55. | :02:57. | |
to be fair I think what is important is what the referee will write in | :02:58. | :03:02. | |
the report. There were some big decisions, big decisions for | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
penalties. What did you see of them? Fantastic work from the referee. | :03:07. | :03:11. | |
There's a lot of noise around, they are top class as individuals. We | :03:12. | :03:18. | |
know where we are, we note -- we know what we're looking for but it's | :03:19. | :03:22. | |
still a great point away at Old Trafford. We created many chances, | :03:23. | :03:27. | |
the only thing when you get three points if you finish, we didn't | :03:28. | :03:33. | |
today. We came with a game plan but rode our luck at times and at | :03:34. | :03:37. | |
certain points in the second half it was tin hat, but thankfully we have | :03:38. | :03:40. | |
come away with a point, and a great place to do so. Certainly was, | :03:41. | :03:46. | |
Burnley hung on to grim death, really, but Manchester United, 37 | :03:47. | :03:53. | |
shots at goal, the -- the most since records began and did manage to | :03:54. | :03:57. | |
score one of them. Flat and had 12 attempts and non-went in. -- Zlatan | :03:58. | :04:05. | |
Ibrahimovic. Some of the chances that they created here were | :04:06. | :04:08. | |
incredible. You would fancy them to walk away with four or five and Tom | :04:09. | :04:15. | |
Heaton made some brilliant saves, one of which is just superb, which | :04:16. | :04:19. | |
we will see in a minute. They kept on going, they kept on passing it, | :04:20. | :04:24. | |
kept on creating the chances. I mean, some of the defending was | :04:25. | :04:27. | |
brilliant, goalkeeping was brilliant, but you just know that it | :04:28. | :04:31. | |
isn't working for you, whatever you try. He looks better, Rashford up | :04:32. | :04:37. | |
front with him in the second half, it added more pace to the game. | :04:38. | :04:42. | |
Ibrahimovic has never been blessed with great pace, but when you get | :04:43. | :04:47. | |
your 30s, Gary, that's the save I'm on about, that's an unbelievable | :04:48. | :04:51. | |
saves, that is. I was saying about the pace that Ibrahimovic has, when | :04:52. | :04:58. | |
I found in my career you lose a yard of pace, Craig Bellamy, last minute, | :04:59. | :05:05. | |
came to help me with his pace at Newcastle. That's what Man United | :05:06. | :05:11. | |
need, to have him upfront as well as Rashford to ask more questions, | :05:12. | :05:14. | |
going in behind rather than facing up all the time. We have our penalty | :05:15. | :05:23. | |
specialist again! You look like an old-fashioned referee to me. Darmian | :05:24. | :05:26. | |
appeal, we think it's possible what pre-empted Jose to go to the stands. | :05:27. | :05:34. | |
The events of recent weeks have got to him and this tipped him over. I | :05:35. | :05:38. | |
think it's a penalty but he dramatises it somewhat, the way you. | :05:39. | :05:42. | |
You see the kick, left shin. There's enough there. I think it's a | :05:43. | :05:46. | |
penalty, he's on the line which means it's a penalty. You disagree | :05:47. | :05:50. | |
question might I don't think there's enough contacts for him go down. | :05:51. | :05:56. | |
Herrera, a bit unlucky, he just slipped? He's really unlucky. It's | :05:57. | :06:01. | |
never, ever a booking. He should have stayed on the pitch. I agree. | :06:02. | :06:07. | |
Jose Mourinho was up and down the steps, probably more tired than the | :06:08. | :06:11. | |
players. It's just not happening for Jose. He looks a bit disgruntled, | :06:12. | :06:16. | |
he's not happy. He doesn't know his best 11, he's playing around with | :06:17. | :06:19. | |
the team and the formations, still trying to work it all out. Burnley | :06:20. | :06:25. | |
deserves some credit. Digging in a game, against Everton last week, | :06:26. | :06:29. | |
dominated for long periods, and again today and the Cabinet -- the | :06:30. | :06:33. | |
keeper was fantastic. Middlesbrough were looking | :06:34. | :06:36. | |
for a first home win of the season against a Bournemouth side who've | :06:37. | :06:39. | |
yet to taste victory Middlesbrough got a 0-0 draw last | :06:40. | :06:56. | |
week, unlucky not to will. Calum Chambers returns after being | :06:57. | :06:58. | |
ineligible against his old club. Stewart Downing is back in midfield. | :06:59. | :07:01. | |
He takes the place of Marten de Roon. Bournemouth also held one of | :07:02. | :07:07. | |
the title contenders, Tottenham, to a scoreless draw last Saturday. | :07:08. | :07:13. | |
Surman's recovery form illness sees him come back in for Gosling. When | :07:14. | :07:18. | |
Bournemouth won the promotion to the top flight they had battled | :07:19. | :07:21. | |
Middlesbrough neck and neck at the top of the Championship table. It's | :07:22. | :07:25. | |
the first time these clubs have ever been in the top flight together. | :07:26. | :07:30. | |
It's a good ball, might have been a hand ball. The referee says play on. | :07:31. | :07:35. | |
Josh King was waiting in the middle. That will be the first corner of the | :07:36. | :07:42. | |
game. Jack Wilshere, on loan from Arsenal, to take the corner. A free | :07:43. | :07:49. | |
shot for King, headed off the line for Middlesbrough. Adam Clayton in | :07:50. | :07:52. | |
the right place at the right time. When you look at analysis of teams | :07:53. | :07:56. | |
who don't but a defender on the post defending set pieces like this, | :07:57. | :08:02. | |
that's why teams do it. Former Middlesbrough player and manager, | :08:03. | :08:05. | |
they still have his photo adorned as a player in the tunnel here at the | :08:06. | :08:10. | |
Riverside Stadium. Now here on England managerial duty. Wilshere, | :08:11. | :08:15. | |
head up all the time looking for options. Encourages Arter forward | :08:16. | :08:24. | |
here. Wilshere once more. This could be in for King, a brilliant ball, | :08:25. | :08:30. | |
Wilson, it comes back in off the crossbar. Did Victor Valdes get his | :08:31. | :08:33. | |
fingertips to this on the way through? I think he did, it's just | :08:34. | :08:36. | |
his fingertips but it's enough to push it onto the bar. Friend tracked | :08:37. | :08:47. | |
all the way by King, good workrate. This is Ramirez, looking for | :08:48. | :08:51. | |
Negredo. He pulled the trigger. This is Traore. | :08:52. | :08:58. | |
Away by Francis, but not sufficiently. A poor cross by | :08:59. | :09:06. | |
Downing. Again, George Friend. He gave it everything. A fraction more | :09:07. | :09:13. | |
to the right-hand side Middlesbrough surely would have been 1-0 up. | :09:14. | :09:24. | |
King challenged by Gaston Ramirez at the expense of the corner. Time | :09:25. | :09:30. | |
beginning to run out for one of these teams to take the lead before | :09:31. | :09:37. | |
the break. Wilshere's corner, headed away at the front post. Back in by | :09:38. | :09:42. | |
Adam Smith, it's going to fall for Gaston Ramirez here. Chance of a | :09:43. | :09:47. | |
counterattack for Middlesbrough and Ramirez shift effortlessly through | :09:48. | :09:52. | |
the gears. He's going to take it on his own here. That is an exceptional | :09:53. | :10:01. | |
goal from Gaston Ramirez! Zero to 60, in four seconds. Middlesbrough | :10:02. | :10:08. | |
looking for the first home win of the season and Gaston Ramirez, from | :10:09. | :10:15. | |
deep inside his own half, has quite simply created this all for himself. | :10:16. | :10:18. | |
It's his first goal of the season will stop it's a very memorable one. | :10:19. | :10:25. | |
Full of determination, full of thrust. Such a calm finish from the | :10:26. | :10:34. | |
Uruguayan at the end. This would be a crucial first home win, if they | :10:35. | :10:36. | |
can hold on for it. He's working very hard in the | :10:37. | :10:43. | |
midfield. Looking for Negredo at the back | :10:44. | :10:52. | |
post, it must be for Downing! Stewart Downing has delivered for | :10:53. | :11:16. | |
Middlesbrough. Inevitably, Adama Traore involved in the build-up. | :11:17. | :11:21. | |
Negredo was unselfish. It's a very good team goal for what is becoming | :11:22. | :11:26. | |
a very good team performance. Bournemouth are in trouble now. | :11:27. | :11:36. | |
It's beautifully played, Negredo, no power behind him. Well, his only | :11:37. | :11:45. | |
goal so far this season came against Stoke on the opening weekend, and | :11:46. | :11:50. | |
Alvaro Negredo looks to be a striker lowing confidence when shooting for | :11:51. | :11:51. | |
goal. A good first half, Jack Wilson, he's | :11:52. | :12:03. | |
been more quiet in the second period. A mistake by Barragan, | :12:04. | :12:09. | |
Daniels, how long does he want? Smith, brave defending, maybe he | :12:10. | :12:15. | |
held onto it just for too long and it needed a shot. The shot was | :12:16. | :12:18. | |
probably on target. It was good skill from Fraser and | :12:19. | :12:31. | |
Chambers was making sure he wasn't getting on the end of it. Adam Smith | :12:32. | :12:39. | |
for Afobe, it hit his shoulder as much as anything. Benik Afobe E, | :12:40. | :12:44. | |
shoulder more than his head. It lands on the top of the crossbar. | :12:45. | :12:49. | |
You get the feeling this is not going to be Bournemouth's day. | :12:50. | :12:51. | |
You get the feeling this is not going to be Bournemouth's day. We | :12:52. | :12:56. | |
were really strong in the last two seasons and we needed today a | :12:57. | :13:00. | |
performance like we played because our last three games have been | :13:01. | :13:06. | |
really well, so now we had to show everybody that we could compete, | :13:07. | :13:11. | |
especially at home. It was a big win for us, no disrespect to | :13:12. | :13:15. | |
Bournemouth, this was a game we were looking to win. They are good team, | :13:16. | :13:19. | |
they pass it around well and made it difficult for us, especially at the | :13:20. | :13:24. | |
end. We deserved it, we created chances and were clinical. Otaegui | :13:25. | :13:28. | |
has -- not a great performance from our perspective. We had chances and | :13:29. | :13:32. | |
the goals we conceded were disappointing and they decided the | :13:33. | :13:36. | |
game. They certainly did. Gaston Ramirez hasn't scored for almost two | :13:37. | :13:40. | |
years but it was really worth the wait. What a goal, Danny? | :13:41. | :13:46. | |
Incred goal. Technically very good. Bournemouth would be disappointed, | :13:47. | :13:53. | |
to concede from your own corner. Bad touch. He closes the ball down. He | :13:54. | :14:00. | |
has a lot to do. Win it back in your own box. He shows good pace. The | :14:01. | :14:05. | |
calmness. On his weak foot. Can he finish? Goal of the day, for sure. | :14:06. | :14:11. | |
After a terrific performance last week. Three points at home will do | :14:12. | :14:16. | |
them the world of good. Decent start for Middlesbrough. Top side in the | :14:17. | :14:21. | |
north-east, Alan? I knew you would get that in! As Danny said, they | :14:22. | :14:27. | |
made a confident start. Took great confidence from their performance | :14:28. | :14:30. | |
last week. That showed today with their win. I was speaking to Gibson | :14:31. | :14:37. | |
and he is quietly confident. Looked solid, tough to Beattie as well. | :14:38. | :14:39. | |
Watford, who began the day in the top half of the table, | :14:40. | :14:42. | |
The visitors have slipped into the bottom three after six | :14:43. | :14:46. | |
COMMENTATOR: Troy Deeney scored his 99th goal for Watford in their last | :14:47. | :14:57. | |
match here at vicarage Road. Deeney would become the fifth Watford | :14:58. | :15:00. | |
player to reach a century of goals for the club should he score today | :15:01. | :15:05. | |
against a Hull side who conceded 11 in their last two away matches. | :15:06. | :15:12. | |
Hernandez returns to the Hull team with Snodgrass out because of | :15:13. | :15:16. | |
injury. Hull will start with a three-man defence. Harry Maguire | :15:17. | :15:21. | |
coming in along site Curtice and Dawson as Mike Phelan looks for the | :15:22. | :15:25. | |
formula that will end their run of defeats. | :15:26. | :15:32. | |
Amrabat. Didn't quite reach him in the middle. Elmohamady couldn't | :15:33. | :15:44. | |
clear. Deeney. Capoue, being urged to shoot. It got a touch off a Hull | :15:45. | :15:49. | |
defender on the way. Came off Maguire. The option of a | :15:50. | :15:56. | |
short-corner with Holebas in close attendance. And just against the | :15:57. | :16:05. | |
crossbar from Younes Kaboul. What a header that was. Really firing its | :16:06. | :16:13. | |
way towards the Hull goal. Picked up by Amrabat. | :16:14. | :16:18. | |
Amrabat's ball in. Too high this time for Kaboul. Again, Watford | :16:19. | :16:36. | |
strike the post. Robert Pereyra. Younes Kaboul meeting this firmly. | :16:37. | :16:41. | |
When it's scrambled away, Roberto Pereyra, you can see what he's | :16:42. | :16:45. | |
aiming to do here. So close, Watford, to getting the first goal | :16:46. | :16:53. | |
of the afternoon. McDonald there to the left of Mike Phelan, new | :16:54. | :17:03. | |
assistant manager at Hull. Maguire. He finds Elmohamady. Keane calling | :17:04. | :17:11. | |
for it. Hernandez is there as well. Away by Prodl. Elmohamady. | :17:12. | :17:14. | |
Livermore, a chance for a shot, perhaps. And for Mason. Gomes down | :17:15. | :17:27. | |
to make the save. From Ryan Mason. A pretty comfortable save for Gomes as | :17:28. | :17:39. | |
well. Capoue. Lovely control. Pereyra. Here's Ighalo. Amrabat. | :17:40. | :17:49. | |
Pereyra offering an option, and here he is. Roberto Pereyra. Into the | :17:50. | :18:02. | |
ground, Deeney! So close. Well, he knows how close he was to reaching | :18:03. | :18:05. | |
100 goals in all competitions for Watford. Ighalo, stretching. It may | :18:06. | :18:12. | |
well be that the presence of his strike partner was just enough to | :18:13. | :18:15. | |
mean that Deeney didn't have too much view of that ball as it came | :18:16. | :18:21. | |
across to him. Three wins, three draws and three defeats for Watford. | :18:22. | :18:27. | |
Hopefully those wins will be increased to four come the end of | :18:28. | :18:35. | |
the afternoon. Gomes with the save. Heurelho Gomes pure Yeos with his | :18:36. | :18:41. | |
defenders. One touch from Keane. Hernandez is suddenly in behind. | :18:42. | :18:45. | |
This is better from Hull, in the early exchanges in the Sirs half. | :18:46. | :19:02. | |
Furious. Capoue. Amarah bra, up against Clucas. -- Amrabat up | :19:03. | :19:12. | |
against Clucas. Oh, it's gone in. Watford celebrate the opening goal. | :19:13. | :19:20. | |
Michael Dawson may well have got the final touch. It comes off Dawson. | :19:21. | :19:30. | |
Hence the celebrations from the two Watford men, neither of whom could | :19:31. | :19:34. | |
legitimately claim the goal because that is an own-goal. The touch off | :19:35. | :19:41. | |
Michael Dawson, looping past David Marshall. There it is. It's Watford | :19:42. | :19:51. | |
1, Hull 0. It's hard on Hull, you have to say. Mike Phelan's team at | :19:52. | :19:56. | |
home to Southampton next and then, after the international break, a | :19:57. | :20:00. | |
massive trip, away to fellow strugglers, Sunderland. Away by | :20:01. | :20:07. | |
Gomes, into the last five minutes, plus stoppage-time. Able to turn. | :20:08. | :20:14. | |
Pereyra was the target. Ighalo, wriggling through. Ighalo. Oh! Just | :20:15. | :20:22. | |
the wrong side of the post. Brilliant play here from Odion | :20:23. | :20:25. | |
Ighalo. He set himself up for the shot. Look how many defenders are | :20:26. | :20:31. | |
around him. It's just wide. How hard is the manner of that defeat to | :20:32. | :20:38. | |
take? It's very hard because you've got a depressed dressing room after | :20:39. | :20:43. | |
the efforts and the work and all what they put into the game, really. | :20:44. | :20:52. | |
It's cruel, you know, if it goes top corner, it happened against us this | :20:53. | :20:55. | |
season, can you hold your hands up. We were competitive in the game. Our | :20:56. | :20:59. | |
attitude was spot on. We created the best chances in the game, probably. | :21:00. | :21:04. | |
We are on the end of another defeat. We need to react to that and I'm | :21:05. | :21:09. | |
sure we will during next week. I'm happy on how they are are playing | :21:10. | :21:12. | |
now. They are giving me a lot of satisfaction. From the way we are | :21:13. | :21:15. | |
playing, the performance on the pitch, we deserve two or three | :21:16. | :21:20. | |
points more at this stage. Watford's third clean sheet in a row, four | :21:21. | :21:24. | |
games unbeaten. Up to seventh. They managed to win the game without | :21:25. | :21:32. | |
having a single shot on target. Hit the woodwork twice, that doesn't | :21:33. | :21:37. | |
countried count. The damage was done down the right hand side? Yes. | :21:38. | :21:43. | |
Amrabat caused them problems. He gave Clucas a difficult afternoon | :21:44. | :21:47. | |
down that side. He was quick, got balls into the box, whether it was | :21:48. | :21:51. | |
first half or second-half. Just get at him. That is what he he did. They | :21:52. | :21:57. | |
couldn't handle him a brilliant ball in. Deserved someone to be on the | :21:58. | :22:03. | |
end of it. They did create one or two chances. They thoroughly | :22:04. | :22:06. | |
deserved their victory. Should do better. Should hit the target. This | :22:07. | :22:11. | |
was the goal. Ran in behind. Wasn't offside as they were appealing for | :22:12. | :22:14. | |
it. They do get a little bit of luck for the goal when it eventually | :22:15. | :22:19. | |
comes to Janmaat. Ball in the box and unlucky off Dawson. Enough for | :22:20. | :22:25. | |
the victory. An own-goal. Well, as for Hull, it's... They are are six | :22:26. | :22:31. | |
straight defeats in the league, testing times. Tough times, morsel | :22:32. | :22:38. | |
lid today with Dawson in the side. Ironically he gave the goal away. I | :22:39. | :22:46. | |
agree Gary with you that Sanchez is top-class. Arsenal fans not happy | :22:47. | :22:51. | |
with you - not for the first time. Our time is up. | :22:52. | :22:56. | |
The top three remain locked together on the same points. | :22:57. | :22:58. | |
Manchester City's thumping win means they hold on to top spot, | :22:59. | :23:01. | |
ahead of Arsenal and Liverpool, on goal difference. | :23:02. | :23:03. | |
Tottenham are three points further back in fourth. | :23:04. | :23:05. | |
Winless Sunderland continue to prop up the league, three points adrift | :23:06. | :23:07. | |
Hull complete the bottom three after suffering their sixth | :23:08. | :23:11. | |
Let us see what the papers have to say. Jose Mourinho sending off is | :23:12. | :23:19. | |
making the headlines. The Sun on Sunday says he could face a stadium | :23:20. | :23:25. | |
ban after clashing with Mark Clattenburg. The Sunday Express ask | :23:26. | :23:32. | |
- is he losing the plot? West Ham's Olympic Stadium is not fit for | :23:33. | :23:33. | |
football and should be demolished. So the top three all score four | :23:34. | :23:38. | |
while Jose draws a blank. | :23:39. | :23:42. |
