0:00:18 > 0:00:19How about that?
0:00:19 > 0:00:25Just brilliant, just brilliant.
0:00:25 > 0:00:28Oh, that is wonderful.
0:00:28 > 0:00:34An absolute belter.
0:00:34 > 0:00:35What a chance.
0:00:35 > 0:00:37What a goal!
0:00:37 > 0:00:44Blue is the colour of the Premier League winners.
0:00:44 > 0:00:46Hello, we've six games from the Premier League
0:00:46 > 0:00:48featuring the league leaders, Champions League chasers
0:00:48 > 0:00:51and relegation fighters.
0:00:51 > 0:00:53Danny Murphy and Dion Dublin have been
0:00:53 > 0:00:54dissecting the action.
0:00:54 > 0:00:56As Manchester City chase a quartet of trophies,
0:00:56 > 0:00:58their match with Leicester City is their final involvement
0:00:58 > 0:01:01in the Premier League until March.
0:01:01 > 0:01:04Guardiola's side have a healthy lead at the top despite two dropped
0:01:04 > 0:01:05points at Burnley last weekend.
0:01:05 > 0:01:07On Ryiad Mahrez watch at the Ethiad, Guy Mowbray.
0:01:17 > 0:01:22Back in training and now back in the squad as a Leicester South, if Riyad
0:01:22 > 0:01:28Mahrez gets on, the reaction of the supporters will be interesting. Two
0:01:28 > 0:01:34changes for Manchester City with Vincent Kompany and Danilo on the
0:01:34 > 0:01:39bench. Sergio Aguero has scored in the last six home games, he has
0:01:39 > 0:01:45previously not manage seven in a row. Mahrez is a sub for Leicester.
0:01:45 > 0:01:53Two changes. James is in. Claude Puel well is going for three at the
0:01:53 > 0:02:01back. With cup commitments for the rest of this month, a Manchester
0:02:01 > 0:02:06City win means they sign off from the Premier League until March with
0:02:06 > 0:02:13a minimum 13 point lead. Silva.
0:02:16 > 0:02:22a minimum 13 point lead. Silva. De Bruyne. It is in! That is a huge
0:02:22 > 0:02:26weight off the shoulders of Raheem Sterling after his glaring Merse
0:02:26 > 0:02:32Burnley last week. He puts in a tap in to give the Manchester City yet
0:02:32 > 0:02:37another early lead. De Bruyne have the time and room and did what he is
0:02:37 > 0:02:41so often does. It into just the right place by the Belgian and
0:02:41 > 0:02:48Sterling was in the right place ahead of Albrighton.
0:02:48 > 0:02:50ahead of Albrighton. 1-0 to Manchester City. Raheem Sterling
0:02:50 > 0:02:54gets his 20th goal of the season, he will be feeling a whole lot better
0:02:54 > 0:03:00after that. Not that you can really question his finishing all campaign.
0:03:00 > 0:03:08Everyone makes the odd mistake. Bounced back to him. Nicely by
0:03:08 > 0:03:14Vardy. Can he get it over? He can. Albrighton, it just too high for
0:03:14 > 0:03:22Diabate. Chilwell. The first time that Manchester City in any shape or
0:03:22 > 0:03:29form have been under any sort of pressure. Handball from Vardy to
0:03:29 > 0:03:37Albrighton, needed to -- that ball needed to be played with more pace.
0:03:37 > 0:03:43Albrighton will take the corner. Zinchenko.
0:03:45 > 0:03:53Zinchenko. De Bruyne, Sterling... What is he going to do with it? It
0:03:53 > 0:04:00is out where all. It is a good tackle. Christian Fuchs stops the
0:04:00 > 0:04:10Manchester City counterattack. Diabate. Dispossessed by Otamendi.
0:04:10 > 0:04:15Zinchenko cannot stop them and neither can Guendogan, it is Vardy
0:04:15 > 0:04:21and it is 1-1. Brilliantly finished by the Leicester number nine.
0:04:21 > 0:04:25Manchester City could not move the ball quickly enough and Leicester
0:04:25 > 0:04:33moved it just right. With some help from Otamendi. There is a lovely
0:04:33 > 0:04:38touch. Just to make the room for the shot. Away from Laporte. What a fine
0:04:38 > 0:04:47finish it is. Little bit of a deflection off Laporte helped and he
0:04:47 > 0:04:52spins it away from Ederson. Vardy has now scored in four Premier
0:04:52 > 0:04:59League games in a row and out of nowhere, it is 1-1 and we have a
0:04:59 > 0:05:02game on. What our record of Vardy has when their big games come
0:05:02 > 0:05:09around. That is 43 Premier League appearances, 23 goals against
0:05:09 > 0:05:15current top six sides. There is De Bruyne. Silva is stalling his probe
0:05:15 > 0:05:25-- his progress. Zinchenko. De Bruyne. Sterling. He went down in
0:05:25 > 0:05:31the box. You can hear what Leicester fans think of that. Mike Jones did
0:05:31 > 0:05:40not think much about it, did not think it was a foul or a dive.
0:05:44 > 0:05:51think it was a foul or a dive. Here he goes. He beats Albrighton. He
0:05:51 > 0:05:55could not beat Schmeichel, it was a good save. He went to put everything
0:05:55 > 0:06:02he had behind the shot.
0:06:03 > 0:06:10he had behind the shot. Still looks a little like the odd couple in, and
0:06:10 > 0:06:19at Leicester, Claude Puel well and Michael Appleton. Bernardo Silva.
0:06:19 > 0:06:25Dragovic, as far as Guendogan.
0:06:28 > 0:06:31Dragovic, as far as Guendogan. De Bruyne. Sterling! Beats 's to win
0:06:31 > 0:06:40but misses the target. That must have been a goal saving shot from
0:06:40 > 0:06:45Dragovic, he has kept Leicester level with that tackle. A change in
0:06:45 > 0:06:51personnel and a change in shape for Leicester, they have a back at four
0:06:51 > 0:07:00now. Sterling. De Bruyne. Early ball across an Sergio Aguero scorers!
0:07:01 > 0:07:04They have scored inside three minutes in the second half. A very
0:07:04 > 0:07:11similar goal. In terms of, it is another assist from Kevin De Bruyne
0:07:11 > 0:07:17and it is another tap them, De Bruyne found a way through to Sergio
0:07:17 > 0:07:22Aguero whose scorers for the seventh successive home game. 11 goals in
0:07:22 > 0:07:28those home games, 25 for the season in all competitions and all
0:07:28 > 0:07:33stadiums, it is 2-12 Manchester City. Every Manchester City player,
0:07:33 > 0:07:37all those lucky enough to be the beneficiaries of the brilliance of
0:07:37 > 0:07:45De Bruyne at knowledge it every time. Guendogan. De Bruyne. It just
0:07:45 > 0:07:52would not quite stick between his feet, preferred -- Fernandinho,
0:07:52 > 0:07:58Sterling. Sterling is down. Around the penalty area. Marc Albrighton is
0:07:58 > 0:08:07making the point that he goes down too easily. Albrighton, is he going
0:08:07 > 0:08:16to easily to block, Mike Jones did not see anything wrong. Walker.
0:08:16 > 0:08:21Walker is going to chase that. It is a chip and run. Schmeichel ways.
0:08:21 > 0:08:33Fernandinho. De Bruyne. Up where all! And he has forced it through
0:08:33 > 0:08:40Schmeichel -- Sergio Aguero! The game is running away from Leicester
0:08:40 > 0:08:45now. And you have to give real credit to Kyle Walker for the part
0:08:45 > 0:08:49he played here. It looked like he had misplaced the pass and their at
0:08:49 > 0:08:58the attack had gone. -- and they are at the attack had gone. Just a
0:08:58 > 0:09:02glancing blow off Schmeichel, it had to hit him fill in the chest to keep
0:09:02 > 0:09:07it out. It squeezes in under his arm and Manchester City for the first
0:09:07 > 0:09:13time all afternoon have a two goal cushion. And he just keeps on
0:09:13 > 0:09:18scoring.
0:09:19 > 0:09:21scoring. 195 Manchester City goals, the double hundred is coming very,
0:09:21 > 0:09:30very soon. Diabate is off and Riyad Mahrez is on, in a game in which the
0:09:30 > 0:09:33had the situation been different, he might have been playing against
0:09:33 > 0:09:39Leicester City.
0:09:39 > 0:09:42Leicester City. Schmeichel has given it straight to hug where all and
0:09:42 > 0:09:51I'll go where all tips smite golf another hat-trick. -- gives it
0:09:51 > 0:09:57straight to Sergio Aguero.
0:09:57 > 0:10:00straight to Sergio Aguero. This one is the first goal that has not been
0:10:00 > 0:10:08made by De Bruyne. It is symptomatic of Schmeichel's kicking all day, it
0:10:08 > 0:10:15is a tap pass to Aguero and a very cool finish. The game is finished
0:10:15 > 0:10:22now, 4-12 Manchester City. Sergio Aguero has scored his third
0:10:22 > 0:10:34hat-trick of the season. -- 4-1 two Manchester City. Foden. He is at
0:10:34 > 0:10:41him. Forced out of the area for a moment. Aguero is looking for his
0:10:41 > 0:10:53forward. Oh my goodness! Is there anything he cannot do! Four goals in
0:10:53 > 0:11:02the half for Sergio Aguero and that one was a rocket shot.
0:11:02 > 0:11:08one was a rocket shot. That is the crowning moment on another
0:11:08 > 0:11:11magnificent Manchester City day on their way to being crowned Premier
0:11:11 > 0:11:21League champions. There can be little doubt about that. Perfect,
0:11:21 > 0:11:26off the bar. He is one amazing footballer. And for the third time
0:11:26 > 0:11:34in a Manchester City shirt, Aguero scorers four goals in a game. Four
0:11:34 > 0:11:34goals in
0:11:34 > 0:11:36scorers four goals in a game. Four goals in a half today.Can you find
0:11:36 > 0:11:45any more words to describe De Bruyne and Aguero?No.
0:11:46 > 0:11:52and Aguero?No. One guy making a mountain of assets is, right, left
0:11:52 > 0:11:58and Sergio has an amazing talent, trying to create a lot of chances,
0:11:58 > 0:12:02to give them the opportunity to score the goals that he scorers. He
0:12:02 > 0:12:10is always there and I think it is big congratulations, it is not easy
0:12:10 > 0:12:14to score at four goals.You started with five at the back and you
0:12:14 > 0:12:20changed it to four, would it have made any difference?Perhaps a
0:12:20 > 0:12:30little more strong. We conceded a lot of chances in the first half.
0:12:30 > 0:12:36Perhaps they were a little lucky in the first half. The second goal just
0:12:36 > 0:12:43at the beginning of the second half change the game.After last week and
0:12:43 > 0:12:48all the fuss about Bernie, was that await off your mind?The game seemed
0:12:48 > 0:12:54like it was taking forever foot to come around. We had a three-day
0:12:54 > 0:13:01break and I could not wait to get back out there.I think the guys
0:13:01 > 0:13:09want to be champions. So far, we were at best team.
0:13:12 > 0:13:15were at best team. -- we were the best team. My advice for the players
0:13:15 > 0:13:21is not to think about how many games are left, focus on the next one.I
0:13:21 > 0:13:26think we are running out of superlatives for Manchester City,
0:13:26 > 0:13:30sublime again, Raheem Sterling mentioned, he got an identical
0:13:30 > 0:13:36chance that he missed against Burnley. Lightning did not strike
0:13:36 > 0:13:40twice in the same place although it is a different ground.
0:13:40 > 0:13:42twice in the same place although it is a different ground.I think this
0:13:42 > 0:13:49was even a bit harder. De Bruyne was fantastic today. He put it in. Good
0:13:49 > 0:13:55luck to him, he is having a great season.He is saying to himself, I
0:13:55 > 0:14:03am so glad that went in! He is brave to put himself in that situation.So
0:14:03 > 0:14:08glad he is playing with Kevin De Bruyne as well.Stunning display
0:14:08 > 0:14:13from Sergio Aguero. Does not surprise me. He is a different
0:14:13 > 0:14:16class. He puts himself into positions and you have got to get
0:14:16 > 0:14:25the ball to him. Look at the pass. You should not be allowed to play
0:14:25 > 0:14:30that pass. I have to say, Kasper Schmeichel did not have the best
0:14:30 > 0:14:35game. Look at Aguero on the shoulder. That is one of his
0:14:35 > 0:14:40favourite positions, onto his right foot and Schmeichel had no chance at
0:14:40 > 0:14:46close range. He did this time after time. This one, he has to clear
0:14:46 > 0:14:51that. You cannot give Aguero at chance like that, that is a superb
0:14:51 > 0:14:57finish. He lets the keeper go down and chips it over the top. I want to
0:14:57 > 0:15:01say the keepers should stop this but I do not think he saw the ball until
0:15:01 > 0:15:02it was behind him.
0:15:08 > 0:15:12What a If you give player.Him chances like that he will score all
0:15:12 > 0:15:17game.Leicester did well in the first half. Played a system we are
0:15:17 > 0:15:21not acubsed to seeing Leicester play with three or five at the back
0:15:21 > 0:15:23whatever way you want to call it. They changed at half-time,
0:15:23 > 0:15:28strangely?We were surprised. I thought they were in in the game
0:15:28 > 0:15:32first half. Manchester City you will be opened up occasionally. Really
0:15:32 > 0:15:37good on the counter. They frustrated City. This is the five. When you see
0:15:37 > 0:15:41this clip. You will see City keep going inside because they can't get
0:15:41 > 0:15:46round the side of them which is where City like to go. They stretch
0:15:46 > 0:15:50the pitch well. Pep works on that, making the pitch big and giving them
0:15:50 > 0:15:57options. When there are five it's hard. They did frustrate City. Silva
0:15:57 > 0:16:02in the middle of the park was doing well. They get out. What Pep talked
0:16:02 > 0:16:06about was spaces down the side for his players. When you have the
0:16:06 > 0:16:11quality of delivering that Manchester City, you will be in
0:16:11 > 0:16:15trouble. Especially if it's this man, De Bruyne. You can see the
0:16:15 > 0:16:20four, narrow. Big spaces either side of them. With the distance they keep
0:16:20 > 0:16:23from each other and the width they get, Manchester City, time and time
0:16:23 > 0:16:32again we could have showed five or six clips of them dominating and
0:16:32 > 0:16:36getting in wide areas.They were in the game.They were in the game
0:16:36 > 0:16:40more. That is where the change went wrong.A strange one. Manchester
0:16:40 > 0:16:43City going from strength to strength. People said when he came
0:16:43 > 0:16:46last season - you can't do that football in this country. He proved
0:16:46 > 0:16:51everybody wrong be. Have we seen anything quite as good as this team?
0:16:51 > 0:16:55I don't think we've seen as many good players in one team absolutely
0:16:55 > 0:16:58dominating a league as they have. The way they play the game. The way
0:16:58 > 0:17:03they play out the back. Nobody panicked, especially the goalkeeper.
0:17:03 > 0:17:08The keeper is playing out and picking passes.Unbelievable. They
0:17:08 > 0:17:11have the best passer I've ever seen in the Premier League. That doesn't
0:17:11 > 0:17:16help when you are a forward player. Imagine how many you would have
0:17:16 > 0:17:20scored -I trust you mean De Bruyne I do.
0:17:20 > 0:17:23While Spurs are renovating their new home, Wembley is the venue
0:17:23 > 0:17:24for the 195th North London Derby.
0:17:24 > 0:17:31And while the stadium might be different, the same rivalry remains.
0:17:31 > 0:17:36COMMENTATOR:One of the most Fay nows fixtures of them all.Can you
0:17:36 > 0:17:41believe this?One of the most memorable North London derbies.What
0:17:41 > 0:17:49a goal!Oh, what a challenge.Spurs are turning it on.Unbelievable.
0:17:49 > 0:17:52Potentially a game-changer.Game on, again.
0:17:52 > 0:17:53Your commentator for this one, Steve Bower.
0:17:53 > 0:17:57STEVE BOWER:
0:17:57 > 0:18:02As if the stakes needed raising the first Derby at Wembley where Arsenal
0:18:02 > 0:18:06have won their last nine matches for almost 25 years. A significant match
0:18:06 > 0:18:10in the Champions League chase. Arsenal defeat would leave them
0:18:10 > 0:18:14seven points behind Spurs. Mauricio Pochettino names the team that
0:18:14 > 0:18:18started at Anfield last weekend. Harry Kane scored that dramatic
0:18:18 > 0:18:22100th Premier League goal. The top-scorer has six goals in six
0:18:22 > 0:18:31league games against Arsenal. Latest recruit, Mora is on the bench.
0:18:31 > 0:18:38Arsenal's hat-trick hero, Aaron Ramsey is ruled out with a join
0:18:38 > 0:18:44injury. El nony comes in. Petr Cech starts in goal. The Gunners looking
0:18:44 > 0:18:48to add to their 81 historical victories. Spurs looking to increase
0:18:48 > 0:18:58their number to 63. Well read. Fabulous touch by Kane. Dele Alli is
0:18:58 > 0:19:04away. Can Arsenal catch him? He is trying to find Kane. A desperate
0:19:04 > 0:19:11lung by Mustafi that needed dealing with by Petr Cech. Important
0:19:11 > 0:19:18interception from Mustafi.
0:19:20 > 0:19:2452nd experience of the North London Derby. He's only lost eight of them
0:19:24 > 0:19:34help has faced a number of different Spurs managers during that time.
0:19:34 > 0:19:40Clever ball from Wilshere. Aubameyang offside. The flag raised
0:19:40 > 0:19:47immediately. It certainly did look close. You could argue that's level
0:19:47 > 0:19:52and on.
0:19:54 > 0:20:00Son.
0:20:00 > 0:20:11Eriksen takes over. In towards Kane. Well, he looked to the referee's
0:20:11 > 0:20:16assistant to see if the flag was up, it wasn't he was onside. He's hit
0:20:16 > 0:20:20very high standards, Harry Kane. By those standards, he will be
0:20:20 > 0:20:27disappointed he hasn't found the target. Since he took charge, 35
0:20:27 > 0:20:35points from 54 for Spurs at home against the big guns. Ozil. Drop of
0:20:35 > 0:20:43the shoulder from him. Again, the space. This time for Bellerin. It
0:20:43 > 0:20:49was always rising. Lloris had it covered. Fair to say, it's yet to
0:20:49 > 0:20:53catch fire.
0:20:55 > 0:21:01Dier.
0:21:05 > 0:21:10Now Davies. That's a better ball. There's Kane. There's the
0:21:10 > 0:21:20breakthrough. You cannot keep him out of the headlines. Seven in seven
0:21:20 > 0:21:28against Arsenal now for Harry Kane. First blood Tottenham. A goal that
0:21:28 > 0:21:32means the most against this opposition for Harry Kane. They
0:21:32 > 0:21:36stood off Davies. He leapt the highest and steered it past Petr
0:21:36 > 0:21:45Cech. Really good jump. No chance for the Arsenal goalkeeper.
0:21:46 > 0:21:48for the Arsenal goalkeeper. Arsene Wenger unhappy, feeling that Harry
0:21:48 > 0:21:52Kane used his arms to push Koscielny out of the way. I don't think he's
0:21:52 > 0:22:00got much of a case there. Trippier. 15 successive Premier League games
0:22:00 > 0:22:05they've scored in. It could be another one. It should have been a
0:22:05 > 0:22:09another one for Kane, and he knows it. He found space and got in
0:22:09 > 0:22:19between the two central defenders, again. Wilshere.
0:22:19 > 0:22:23Now Mkhitaryan, offside flag is up.
0:22:23 > 0:22:32Quickly taken. Eriksen on the charge. Trippier to his right.
0:22:33 > 0:22:42Around Wilshere. And he's picked out Kane. Terrific save by Cech.
0:22:42 > 0:22:46Excellent defending by Bellerin. That was travelling. Sweet
0:22:46 > 0:22:49connection here from Harry Kane, straight at Cech, but he still had
0:22:49 > 0:22:59to get everything in the way of it. Excellent battling from Son. The
0:22:59 > 0:23:05South Korean again, lovely feet. Kane. That's excellent refereeing
0:23:05 > 0:23:10from Anthony Taylor. Clear foul on Son waited to see if Kane engained
0:23:10 > 0:23:15any advantage. He didn't. He pulled it back for a Spurs free-kick.
0:23:15 > 0:23:20Christian Eriksen territory. A long time to weigh this up. Here he
0:23:20 > 0:23:25comes. Cech at full stretch with a very important touch. Got across
0:23:25 > 0:23:27quickly. He did well to turn that over.
0:23:32 > 0:23:39Lacazette. Lovely dummy from Wilshere, now Ozil. Aubameyang away
0:23:39 > 0:23:46to his left. Here comes Aubameyang.
0:23:47 > 0:23:55Wilshere. Good try. First time Hugo Lloris has been called into action
0:23:55 > 0:24:02in the entire game. He was quickly across to get two hands to that.
0:24:02 > 0:24:07That Wilshere effort. Arsenal's first effort on target in the North
0:24:07 > 0:24:11London Derby.
0:24:11 > 0:24:19Here's Dele Alli. Will Spurs be made to pay for these opportunities
0:24:19 > 0:24:25they're not taking? Another let-off for Arsenal. Dele Alli was
0:24:25 > 0:24:30definitely onside and he couldn't steer it into the back of the net.
0:24:30 > 0:24:37Another record crowd inside Wembley, 83,222. Still watching Spurs lead by
0:24:37 > 0:24:451-0. Vertonghen with the interception. Kane's touch. Oh, it's
0:24:45 > 0:24:53super football from Tottenham. Here goes Lamela. Denied by Cech. Another
0:24:53 > 0:24:57one to the list of Tottenham's second-half chances. Still, they
0:24:57 > 0:25:04can't find what they will feel to be the all-important second goal.
0:25:04 > 0:25:09Arsene Wenger and Arsenal winless away from home against any of the
0:25:09 > 0:25:19current top five since January 2015. 15 games to go. Into Lamela. Now
0:25:19 > 0:25:20Eriksen.
0:25:22 > 0:25:34Trippier! Another Cech save. Denied Kieran Trippier. His only second
0:25:34 > 0:25:41ever Tottenham goal. Kane's cross, too strong for Lamela. They are all
0:25:41 > 0:25:47wondering how they aren't further in front.
0:25:49 > 0:25:53front. Four minutes of stoppage time. Here's Bellerin. Here's
0:25:53 > 0:25:58Lacazette.
0:25:58 > 0:26:02Lacazette. Golden chance for a smash-and-grab. Well, the Frenchman
0:26:02 > 0:26:07has only got one goal in his last 12 games and his confidence levels
0:26:07 > 0:26:14weren't high here.
0:26:14 > 0:26:16weren't high here. Very good voice. They have been dominant in this
0:26:16 > 0:26:21second-half.
0:26:23 > 0:26:29second-half. Lacazette has got away. Goodness me, another big chance to
0:26:29 > 0:26:34equalise for the substitute. Again, he couldn't take it. Well, he was
0:26:34 > 0:26:41closer than last time. That means nothing for Arsenal. Two late
0:26:41 > 0:26:48chances for Lacazette, and Wenger's reaction totally understandable.
0:26:48 > 0:26:53This needs to go forward from Arsenal, and forward it goes from
0:26:53 > 0:27:00Mustafi. Sanches, away. Tottenham bodies back. Oh, it's a foul. A
0:27:00 > 0:27:04free-kick on Welbeck. It will be the last action of the game. It's a
0:27:04 > 0:27:12yellow card as well. It's Dier shown the yellow card for dissent.
0:27:12 > 0:27:17Tottenham supporters watch on nervously. The last kick of the game
0:27:17 > 0:27:21will be Ozil's free-kick. It went straight at the wall and the North
0:27:21 > 0:27:27London Derby honours are Tottenham's. Mauricio Pochettino's
0:27:27 > 0:27:34team go seven points clear of their arch-rivals. Once again, Harry Kane
0:27:34 > 0:27:38is the King of North London. It's all getting a little unsavoury at
0:27:38 > 0:27:44the end as well as temperatures rise in the rain at Wembley. Huge
0:27:44 > 0:27:48disappointment and frustration for Arsenal. Who until late on didn't
0:27:48 > 0:27:53really give Tottenham a game. It has finished Spurs
0:27:53 > 0:27:56really give Tottenham a game. It has finished Spurs 1, Arsenal 0.We play
0:27:56 > 0:28:03fantastic football. We create a lot of chances. I think the team 1-0 if
0:28:03 > 0:28:10not two or three. We analyse the 90 minutes the team deserve the Once we
0:28:10 > 0:28:17had victory.-- once they scored we couldn't find enough assurance in
0:28:17 > 0:28:21our game we were insecure too much in the build-up. In the second-half
0:28:21 > 0:28:26at the end they were tired and not pressing as much. We were creating
0:28:26 > 0:28:30more spaces and we had chances. It was frustrating because you can see
0:28:30 > 0:28:35you could have gone home with a point or even three points. I think
0:28:35 > 0:28:38especially in the first half we weren't the standard required. It's
0:28:38 > 0:28:42something to look at and work hard for the next game.A gap to make up
0:28:42 > 0:28:47now. Are you confident you can do it?Confident or not we have to
0:28:47 > 0:28:51fight to try to do it, you know. It makes it mathmatically more
0:28:51 > 0:28:55difficult. This is a game we couldn't afford to lose today. But
0:28:55 > 0:29:00you have to fight.Match winner no surprise is Harry Kane. Seven in
0:29:00 > 0:29:03seven in these North London derbies? If he gets his chances he will
0:29:03 > 0:29:07score. He's done that again. He seems to enjoy scoring against
0:29:07 > 0:29:10Arsenal, which is a bonus. Maybe he should have scored a few more as
0:29:10 > 0:29:15well.Yes, Harry Kane the difference once again, Danny. Described by
0:29:15 > 0:29:19Mauricio Pochettino after the game as the "present and the future."
0:29:19 > 0:29:24Tottenham fans will hope so.We eulogised about Aguero, the same
0:29:24 > 0:29:30applies to this man. He's fantastic. He's a big gameplayer. His all
0:29:30 > 0:29:30around
0:29:30 > 0:29:31He's a big gameplayer. His all around game is phenomenal in the
0:29:31 > 0:29:34first half he was the one who was opening Arsenal up. It didn't happen
0:29:34 > 0:29:38very often. Arsenal were well-organised today. They had a
0:29:38 > 0:29:43gameplan. Look at his strength. He's good with his left foot, it was
0:29:43 > 0:29:48evident here, as you can see. He had the bit between his teeth. So up for
0:29:48 > 0:29:56the game. As you should be of course, the North London Derby. With
0:29:56 > 0:30:01his quality. Look at this for a pass. Unbelievable. He has the lot.
0:30:01 > 0:30:04Physically so fit and strong. The only surprise with this one is that
0:30:04 > 0:30:08it didn't go in. He was the difference. Match winner, but the
0:30:08 > 0:30:11difference generally. Look how well he strikes this, the confidence.
0:30:11 > 0:30:16Here's the goal. I've never scored one like this. I think I'll leave it
0:30:16 > 0:30:21to Dion.
0:30:21 > 0:30:26Arsenal are OK there but the reason why Harry Kane scorers is his
0:30:26 > 0:30:30determination, you can see both the numbers on the backs of the centre
0:30:30 > 0:30:36halves. You cannot see that. They are in good positions but they got
0:30:36 > 0:30:43it wrong. Harry Kane is in the form of his life. He continues to do it
0:30:43 > 0:30:50every week. He is the best there is. You have looked at the same
0:30:50 > 0:30:51every week. He is the best there is. You have looked at the same goal
0:30:51 > 0:30:54from a tactical perspective. Firstly, they set up with three
0:30:54 > 0:30:59midfielders in the middle of the pitch and they gave Tottenham
0:30:59 > 0:31:04respect and they played 4-3 - three and they stopped at them, they were
0:31:04 > 0:31:09the better team but in wide areas, they gave up possession a little bit
0:31:09 > 0:31:14at times because they stopped Tottenham getting into the pockets.
0:31:14 > 0:31:23You will see it here. It was a good tactical decision. Make a terrier
0:31:23 > 0:31:30there. There are in a good position. Ozil should go out, and when the
0:31:30 > 0:31:36ball does eventually come out to Davies, they are still OK, Xhaka
0:31:36 > 0:31:39cannot quite get across, maybe
0:31:39 > 0:31:39Davies, they are still OK, Xhaka cannot quite get across, maybe could
0:31:39 > 0:31:46be a bit quicker, but Arsenal are in a bad position. They have struggled
0:31:46 > 0:31:58away from home. Do you
0:32:01 > 0:32:04blame Koscielny? They showed decent determination but Tottenham deserved
0:32:04 > 0:32:10it. They have the spirit and possession. Despite Tottenham's
0:32:10 > 0:32:16dominance, Arsenal could have got something at the end, Lacazette had
0:32:16 > 0:32:22a chance.He was positive with his substitutions, Lacazette and Iwobi
0:32:22 > 0:32:27came on. You can see Lacazette going around the back. He went with the
0:32:27 > 0:32:33side foot. You saw the way Harry Kane did it, but Lacazette has no
0:32:33 > 0:32:38confidence otherwise he's would have gone with his laces. I am thinking,
0:32:38 > 0:32:44slide it under the keeper. He just gets it all wrong. That is a
0:32:44 > 0:32:48confidence thing, if he has more games, that is a gold. At the
0:32:48 > 0:32:53moment, despair for the manager.It certainly was.
0:32:53 > 0:33:01Two games down, four more on their way.
0:33:01 > 0:33:13A good header, but no. Surely it is Arnautovic? Not a bad effort. Here
0:33:13 > 0:33:16is the shot.
0:33:16 > 0:33:18Sam Allardyce described Everton's 5-1 defeat to Arsenal
0:33:18 > 0:33:20as "pathetic and unacceptable", so an improved performance
0:33:20 > 0:33:23against a Crystal Palace side fighting relegation was a must.
0:33:23 > 0:33:25Commentary at Goodison Park from John Motson.
0:33:25 > 0:33:30JOHN MOTSON:
0:33:30 > 0:33:35He really was the man in the middle with all that shenanigans against
0:33:35 > 0:33:39Liverpool but John Morris is back on Merseyside today alone with his
0:33:39 > 0:33:43assistant Eddie Smart who lived up to his name and between them they
0:33:43 > 0:33:48got the decisions right. Everton got it horribly wrong at the Emirates
0:33:48 > 0:33:54and Sam Allardyce described the performance as pathetic. Coleman, it
0:33:54 > 0:34:02Davies, Rooney and Sigurdsson are back. The Palace injury list is in
0:34:02 > 0:34:12double figures but Ward is back and Soerloth makes his debut upfront. A
0:34:12 > 0:34:18really squally afternoon on Merseyside. There is Rooney. He has
0:34:18 > 0:34:26been here twice. Two spells. Sigurdsson. Gylfi Sigurdsson! Just
0:34:26 > 0:34:30skipped his way into a shooting position. It curled away from the
0:34:30 > 0:34:42far post. Benteke. Car by two Townsend.
0:34:47 > 0:34:55Townsend. -- Cabaye. He is away. Soerloth for Crystal Palace. It went
0:34:55 > 0:35:01over to Benteke in the end.
0:35:02 > 0:35:05over to Benteke in the end. It is Milivojevic who shoots. That was a
0:35:05 > 0:35:12promising break by Palace. Roy Hodgson up against a fellow former
0:35:12 > 0:35:15England manager today although Roy was in the job rather longer than
0:35:15 > 0:35:21Sam Allardyce. Walcott. Sigurdsson coming in at the far post, Ward did
0:35:21 > 0:35:39well. This is an Everton corner. Gueye. Gueye has the shot. It is
0:35:39 > 0:35:44saved by Hennessy. Got a good hand to it, the goalkeeper. Probably the
0:35:44 > 0:35:50best effort Everton have had so far. The atmosphere has been a little
0:35:50 > 0:35:55flat inside Goodison Park, it needs something to read of the matchup.
0:35:55 > 0:36:05The cross by Sara and away by Martina. It comes off Pickford, he
0:36:05 > 0:36:10has to get his body behind it to make sure it is a corner. Cabaye
0:36:10 > 0:36:19with the shot for Palace. Soerloth could not quite reach it, Townsend.
0:36:19 > 0:36:27Taken off his toll, Tomkins, and Pickford has a foul. Benteke. One of
0:36:27 > 0:36:31those that you could say it was our site, you could say was a foul on
0:36:31 > 0:36:37the goalkeeper but it does not count for Crystal Palace. -- you could say
0:36:37 > 0:36:44it was offside. Benteke is on his own, here comes Townsend to help.
0:36:44 > 0:36:52Soerloth again, showing some nice touches, Benteke. That is where this
0:36:52 > 0:36:58season he has not been the force he was. This was probably Crystal
0:36:58 > 0:37:02Palace but's best opening of the half. The match has been rather like
0:37:02 > 0:37:09the weather, somewhat damp. If one team or the other can just lift
0:37:09 > 0:37:15their game a little bit, there could be extra points to be had here. Good
0:37:15 > 0:37:23depth on the kick from Pickford. Sigurdsson! And Everton take the
0:37:23 > 0:37:32lead. In the first minute of the second half. It was not a
0:37:32 > 0:37:38particularly good header by Tomkins. Sigurdsson just drove that
0:37:38 > 0:37:42accurately in the corner, a slight deflection may be to help him and
0:37:42 > 0:37:47that puts a different complexion on the game completely. -- may be to
0:37:47 > 0:38:01help them. Niasse. Here is Kenny. Sigurdsson that keeps it in play. --
0:38:01 > 0:38:10Sigurdsson keeps it in play. He finds that Davies. A good chance and
0:38:10 > 0:38:17that is the second goal and it is Niasse. Niasse making it 2-0 to
0:38:17 > 0:38:22Everton and they have scored twice in the first six minutes of the
0:38:22 > 0:38:28second half and Niasse planted that header beautifully. Past Hennessy,
0:38:28 > 0:38:33good cross by Martina which set up Niasse and once again, their
0:38:33 > 0:38:40second-half performance is in a different class to what went before.
0:38:40 > 0:38:44Palace have not got a lot to turn to in the way of substitutes today,
0:38:44 > 0:38:50there is not really a striker in there. This is Cabaye, Benteke is
0:38:50 > 0:39:01pulling away. Cabaye gets it back from Soerloth. Good header, but no.
0:39:01 > 0:39:05Again for him, agonisingly wide. It just will not go at the moment for
0:39:05 > 0:39:17Benteke. Crossfield ball by Cabaye to Van Aanholt. Soerloth. He is
0:39:17 > 0:39:25going to be a bit of a handful, I think, at the new signing. Here is
0:39:25 > 0:39:35Rooney. Williams. Walcott.
0:39:35 > 0:39:38Rooney. Williams. Walcott. It did not run for a Davies but it might
0:39:38 > 0:39:49for Kenny and it might for a Niasse. Sigurdsson. Davies! 3-0. Everton are
0:39:49 > 0:39:54pushing the game beyond Crystal Palace's recall. Walcott initially.
0:39:54 > 0:40:00That did not do Palace any favours, Kenny got the ball back in.
0:40:00 > 0:40:08Sigurdsson retrieved and Tom Davies made no mistake with his right foot,
0:40:08 > 0:40:133-0. Palace with this devastating list of injuries, you feel that they
0:40:13 > 0:40:20might just have an uphill struggle in the next few weeks. Free to
0:40:20 > 0:40:25Crystal Palace.
0:40:25 > 0:40:31Crystal Palace. -- free kick to Crystal Palace. Here he is again.
0:40:31 > 0:40:36Bringing that save from Pickford. Snapshot by Van Aanholt. Corner to
0:40:36 > 0:40:50Palace. They were all up there. Everton were rocking from the moment
0:40:50 > 0:40:54that corner came in, two or three touches and it looks as though
0:40:54 > 0:41:00Ashley Williams was the player whose hand was up. It is a penalty to
0:41:00 > 0:41:05Crystal Palace and usually Milivojevic puts these away. He does
0:41:05 > 0:41:10but Pickford made a great effort to save it. It was emphatic but the
0:41:10 > 0:41:16goalkeeper went the right way. And got hands to it, I think. 3-1.
0:41:16 > 0:41:20goalkeeper went the right way. And got hands to it, I think. 3-1.Heal
0:41:20 > 0:41:26got the got the ball from a long ball. They managed to go 1-0 up and
0:41:26 > 0:41:31then we controlled the game after that, stop the goal to concede, I
0:41:31 > 0:41:34think. I think at half-time we said we wanted to win this game
0:41:34 > 0:41:39especially at home.It is unusual to have quite so many players out and
0:41:39 > 0:41:44not just any players, you have players who are an integral part of
0:41:44 > 0:41:48our first team.We feel we have not been blessed with any good fortune
0:41:48 > 0:41:57there but having said that, I think that the players that played
0:41:57 > 0:41:59that the players that played today, the 11 that started the game, I
0:41:59 > 0:42:02thought they gave a good account of themselves and we did not lose the
0:42:02 > 0:42:04game because we were lacking any of those other players, we lost it
0:42:04 > 0:42:07because the mistakes we made were punished by Everton.The last few
0:42:07 > 0:42:11games, the second half, we had a better half, but today, the first
0:42:11 > 0:42:15five minutes, we received some more goals but after that it was hard to
0:42:15 > 0:42:23come back into the game but we had one good chance from Christian. If
0:42:23 > 0:42:27he had scored to have one, maybe we could have changed the game but it
0:42:27 > 0:42:28was hard to come back.
0:42:28 > 0:42:35Afterwards I spoke to the Everton manager, Sam Allardyce.
0:42:35 > 0:42:39A comfortable victory. Very satisfying I would imagine after the
0:42:39 > 0:42:44disappointing -- disappointment of the performance last week.It is. We
0:42:44 > 0:42:49have to look at our own record and say, that is were the mainstay of
0:42:49 > 0:42:54Pharisees and lies. In the eight games at home, 17 points we have
0:42:54 > 0:43:00picked up and we have only conceded four goals and the last two goals we
0:43:00 > 0:43:04conceded a penalty. We are into attaining the fans are getting
0:43:04 > 0:43:08results at Goodison Park, but it is just that unfortunate waveform that
0:43:08 > 0:43:13is causing us the problem.Why do you think you're playing so
0:43:13 > 0:43:19differently away from home?This has always been a strong place to play,
0:43:19 > 0:43:24they are close to the players, they get behind them, I think away from
0:43:24 > 0:43:29home it is quite a long-standing problem, because for over a year or
0:43:29 > 0:43:34so, when we won at Newcastle that was a long time since we had won,
0:43:34 > 0:43:40even the season before, away from home. For now, we can relax and
0:43:40 > 0:43:44enjoy ourselves.Rooney and Sigurdsson came into the starting
0:43:44 > 0:43:49line-up, they have been in and out and they seem to make a difference,
0:43:49 > 0:43:56is there any real reason why you left them out in recent weeks?
0:43:56 > 0:44:02Because of the fatigue level. We played against Leicester on
0:44:02 > 0:44:06Wednesday night, we had to play Saturday against Arsenal away.
0:44:06 > 0:44:12Sometimes, when you have a series like that, you get a little bit of
0:44:12 > 0:44:17stick. We put everybody right today and when it happens, you have to get
0:44:17 > 0:44:21over it and learn from it and just go onto the next game and make sure
0:44:21 > 0:44:26you win and we have done that and on that very comfortably. The Everton
0:44:26 > 0:44:30fans will be happy when they wake up tomorrow morning and see where we
0:44:30 > 0:44:34have pushed on in the league now, nearly save, so we can get the
0:44:34 > 0:44:39planning done for next season. We cannot quite get that yet but maybe
0:44:39 > 0:44:44we can start pencilling one or two things in.We can see the home and
0:44:44 > 0:44:50away record that he alluded to. I think he counted the game when he
0:44:50 > 0:44:54was not quite in charge. There is a real difference and perhaps the
0:44:54 > 0:45:03difference today was Gylfi Sigurdsson, he was excellent.
0:45:03 > 0:45:05Sigurdsson, he was excellent.He makes things happen in the final
0:45:05 > 0:45:13third. He has two footed, he can score a goal. He was left out last
0:45:13 > 0:45:18week.
0:45:18 > 0:45:20week. The fatigue thing, it is not like they are in the Champions
0:45:20 > 0:45:24League. He was really good.
0:45:38 > 0:45:42He got fortune for his goal. Great anticipation of where the ball was
0:45:42 > 0:45:47going to land. A bit of deflection there. That settled everyone down.
0:45:47 > 0:45:50He grew in confidence as the game went on. Although they were awful
0:45:50 > 0:45:54last week, it was a much better performance. Sam is right about
0:45:54 > 0:45:59playing at Goodison. It's an intense atmosphere. The supporters expect to
0:45:59 > 0:46:03put yourself about and give your all. You can't not. Lucky header
0:46:03 > 0:46:09there.AreSigurdsson involved in it, again. Look at the anticipation.
0:46:09 > 0:46:15He's good around the box. He's calm. I like him.If you work that hard
0:46:15 > 0:46:21and you are that good, you are going to give performances that.He just
0:46:21 > 0:46:26kept giving today.Oh, dear.Crystal Palace, Roy said about the fact they
0:46:26 > 0:46:31have so many placers missing.Yes. Zaha in particular is a big miss.
0:46:31 > 0:46:36Yes yes. Another eight or nine important players missing. Zaha is
0:46:36 > 0:46:41the man, as you can see by the stats. He makes it them tick. They
0:46:41 > 0:46:46have nobody to look to without him. The good news is they have three
0:46:46 > 0:46:49home gapes their next four. The bad news is they are playing against
0:46:49 > 0:46:55Tottenham, Manchester United and Liverpool.Ah, not easy.Difficult.
0:46:55 > 0:46:58Next to the London Stadium, as Watford travelled to West Ham
0:46:58 > 0:47:06buoyant following an unforgettable Monday night.
0:47:34 > 0:47:36Watching this one, Steve Wilson.
0:47:36 > 0:47:41STEVE WILSON:
0:47:42 > 0:47:46Marko Arnautovic returns for West Ham he scored five in five starts
0:47:46 > 0:47:52before his hamstring injury. New arriving is on the bench having not
0:47:52 > 0:47:59played since November and Hyslop controversial exit from Marseille.
0:48:02 > 0:48:06Watford became the first visiting team to win a Premier League game
0:48:06 > 0:48:13here.
0:48:13 > 0:48:23here. Cold, windy, wet day in Stratford.
0:48:23 > 0:48:30Stratford. Nice Watford. Doucoure. Capoue.
0:48:33 > 0:48:38Capoue. Off the head of Ogbonna for the corner. Lot of patients about
0:48:38 > 0:48:42how they worked this, Watford. They have' got a corner. Driven in by
0:48:42 > 0:48:49Holebas. Good save by Adrian to deny Mariappa. It's a really well crafted
0:48:49 > 0:48:58corner kick here from Watford. Both sides wearing black armbands today
0:48:58 > 0:49:10in memory of Keble who played for West Ham. Nicely worked, Arnautovic.
0:49:10 > 0:49:14Oh, great run, Marko Arnautovic. Still going. Come back to
0:49:14 > 0:49:22Arnautovic. Save from Karnezis to deny Mario they feel they should be
0:49:22 > 0:49:27getting a penalty. All they are getting is a corner. Look at this
0:49:27 > 0:49:31from Arnautovic. Brilliant. Fantastic feet for a big fella. Was
0:49:31 > 0:49:41there a foul there on Arnautovic by Prodl?
0:49:41 > 0:49:49Prodl? Joao Mario. Knocked off it by Holebas. That's a free-kick. Joao
0:49:49 > 0:49:54Mario goes down holding his face. The elbow came in from Holebas into
0:49:54 > 0:50:01kind of his neck. It's going to be Joao Mario's ball in. The offside
0:50:01 > 0:50:14flag is up. It's not going to countried. -- count. The flag was up
0:50:14 > 0:50:18from Andy Garrett. That is so tight. His left shoulder might just be
0:50:18 > 0:50:27behind the line of the last Watford defender.
0:50:27 > 0:50:36defender. West Ham free-kick. Clearly alfree-kick. Into the last
0:50:36 > 0:50:4210 minutes of what has been quite an eventful first half, though no goals
0:50:42 > 0:50:49yet. Collins. Arnautovic. Straight at the goalkeeper. Anywhere else and
0:50:49 > 0:50:55it would have been 1-0 to West Ham. He can't believe he didn't put it
0:50:55 > 0:51:02away, Marko Arnautovic. He's furious with himself. So West Ham denied by
0:51:02 > 0:51:06the Karnezis save. Coming again down that left hand side with Antonio.
0:51:06 > 0:51:19It's a good run this. Hernandez - 1-0! This time it counts. Javier
0:51:19 > 0:51:26Hernandez heads West Ham in front. Michail Antonio, down the left flank
0:51:26 > 0:51:34again. It's been a feature of West Ham's play in this first half. It's
0:51:34 > 0:51:44a free header, leaving Hernandez to simply steer the ball into the net.
0:51:44 > 0:51:50Here's Arnautovic. He's been really the game's best player, Marko
0:51:50 > 0:51:58Arnautovic. Another super run. It's going to be a corner.
0:51:58 > 0:52:08going to be a corner. A little smile from Marko Arnautovic.
0:52:08 > 0:52:17Joao Mario with the West Ham corner. Looking dangerous. Very dangerous.
0:52:17 > 0:52:23Caused a minor outbreak of panic here. Still delicately poised this
0:52:23 > 0:52:27game.
0:52:33 > 0:52:48Oh, that is a clumsy challenge. No cards for Kouyate but there might
0:52:48 > 0:52:53have been. Good save by Adrian. He read it well. It wasn't near enough
0:52:53 > 0:53:00to the right hand upright to really trouble Adrian.
0:53:01 > 0:53:04trouble Adrian. Here's the chance. Hernandez with the run through on
0:53:04 > 0:53:15goal. Arnautovic square. Arnautovic surely - no. How is it not 2-0. The
0:53:15 > 0:53:18clearance which fell to Javier Hernandez definitely onside.
0:53:18 > 0:53:22Mariappa was playing him on. So nearly fell to Arnautovic, but not
0:53:22 > 0:53:30quite. Hernandez rolling it in. Pushing it out. Noble was swamped by
0:53:30 > 0:53:37yellow shirts. You can't take your eyes off this now. Arnautovic. A
0:53:37 > 0:53:42great run. The substitute has been on the pitch for a matter of a
0:53:42 > 0:53:49smattering of seconds, made a brilliant run, Byram, really well
0:53:49 > 0:53:55tracked by Holebas and nearly found by Arnautovic. Collins in there
0:53:55 > 0:53:59hoping to win an attacking header. Challenge from the substitute. It's
0:53:59 > 0:54:15ricocheted. Arnautovic - 2-0. Well, he couldn't miss that one.
0:54:15 > 0:54:18he couldn't miss that one. It was a risky challenge. Cresswell's cross
0:54:18 > 0:54:26spilled by Karnezis. Then hit on to Holebas. It fell to Arnautovic, who
0:54:26 > 0:54:27glee flee make it two.
0:54:27 > 0:54:31Holebas. It fell to Arnautovic, who glee flee make it two.If you give
0:54:31 > 0:54:35me when we took over in bot to the tomorrow three we could get into the
0:54:35 > 0:54:40top ten I would say you are kidding on. Great credit to the players.
0:54:40 > 0:54:42Done a brilliant job. They are at it. Running around and making it
0:54:42 > 0:54:48difficult for teams. We want to continue improving what we've got.
0:54:48 > 0:54:55Hopefully we can keep doing that.We had more possession, but it's not to
0:54:55 > 0:54:58have more possession, it's not the same to dominate and have control of
0:54:58 > 0:55:06the match. We tried, but because we tried, but I think today it wasn't
0:55:06 > 0:55:14our best match.I want just to show the critical people all the people
0:55:14 > 0:55:18that don't like me, to show them that I'm good and I want to give
0:55:18 > 0:55:22everything for this club. That's why I play football.Why would anyone
0:55:22 > 0:55:26not like you?I don't know. I'm surprised some people don't like me
0:55:26 > 0:55:32because I think I've a good heart. Everybody should like me.Anyone who
0:55:32 > 0:55:36doesn't like Marko Arnautovic?I've always liked him.I like him. Do you
0:55:36 > 0:55:43like him, DionI love him.He needs a
0:55:43 > 0:55:46like him, DionI love him.He needs a hug. I've always liked him. When
0:55:46 > 0:55:53he played in wide areas at Stoke he spent too much energy tracking back.
0:55:53 > 0:55:59Look at his close control. Unlicky here. It's a penalty hef goeses
0:55:59 > 0:56:04meantal at the decision. He has great... Look, right foot there,
0:56:04 > 0:56:11Dion.In normal time I said no pen. In the replay, definite pen.He
0:56:11 > 0:56:16gives them a presence. They have lacked that. He can see a pass,
0:56:16 > 0:56:19dribble and score a goal. Credit to him for the time he has been out. He
0:56:19 > 0:56:23looks sharp and fit today. This is what he's got. He's got that ability
0:56:23 > 0:56:27to go past people. He scares defenders. He was the best player...
0:56:27 > 0:56:31They look a different team when he's playing.You half want a player like
0:56:31 > 0:56:37this not to be given a position. Don't play him upfront. Let him do
0:56:37 > 0:56:42what he wants to do. He will create for the team. When he's working as
0:56:42 > 0:56:46hard as this, creating so much for West Ham. He's such an important
0:56:46 > 0:56:51player. Look at this. It's such a great touch. Gets ricocheted. First
0:56:51 > 0:56:54touch great. In the right place at the right time. Great all day. We
0:56:54 > 0:57:01all love him.We do.Hernandez deserves a mention. Did well in the
0:57:01 > 0:57:06last couple of weeks.West Ham fans like him. Watford couldn't follow on
0:57:06 > 0:57:13from their performance on Monday? No. Deeney, Janmaat may be tired
0:57:13 > 0:57:16after that performance against Chelsea they played well. Went into
0:57:16 > 0:57:21this game looking leggy. I think West Ham capitalised on that.OK.
0:57:21 > 0:57:27Three crucial games on Match of the Day 2.
0:57:27 > 0:57:32COMMENTATOR:Lascelles.Manchester United breakthrough.Ward-Prowse to
0:57:32 > 0:57:41strike, and he's there.Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant!Mounie for

0:57:52 > 0:57:55The Winter Olympics continues across the BBC, head to the BBC
0:57:55 > 0:57:58Sport website for all the details.
0:57:58 > 0:58:00The Six Nations continues on Sunday afternoon
0:58:00 > 0:58:02with Scotland taking on France.
0:58:02 > 0:58:04And the FA Cup returns next weekend.
0:58:04 > 0:58:06We've two live games, as Spurs travel to Rochdale
0:58:06 > 0:58:14and a repeat of the 2013 final as Wigan host Manchester City.
0:58:16 > 0:58:18And in sad news, it was announced that the former Celtic,
0:58:18 > 0:58:20Manchester United and Sunderland midfielder, Liam Miller,
0:58:20 > 0:58:23has died at the age of just 36.
0:58:23 > 0:58:30He was suffering with pancreatic cancer.
0:58:30 > 0:58:31Celtic Park fell silent
0:58:31 > 0:58:34in his memory ahead of their game with Partick Thistle.
0:58:34 > 0:58:39Leeds and Sunderland wore black armbands for their matches as well
0:58:39 > 0:58:47Manchester United during their game on Sunday.
0:58:47 > 0:58:50It's now eight games without defeat in all competitions for Swansea
0:58:50 > 0:58:52under Carlos Carvalhal, as the club continue their revival
0:58:52 > 0:58:53and move gradually up the table.
0:58:53 > 0:58:56They took on a Burnley side without a win in nine.
0:58:56 > 0:58:58Mark Scott watched this one.
0:58:58 > 0:59:05MARK SCOTT:
0:59:05 > 0:59:12Having named the same team for the last three Premier League games,
0:59:12 > 0:59:15Carvalhal's force into a change with Carroll replacing Fer, who is out
0:59:15 > 0:59:21for the rest of the season with a ruptured Achilles. Ayew has to wait
0:59:21 > 0:59:26for his first Swans appearance alongside his brother Jordan help
0:59:26 > 0:59:31begins on the bench. Burnley has one change, Lowton comes in for the
0:59:31 > 0:59:35injured Phil Bardsley. Cork makes his first return to the Liberty
0:59:35 > 0:59:41Stadium since joining the Clarp etc in the summer. Burnley beat Swansea
0:59:41 > 0:59:46when the sides met in November. Swansea having won the first four
0:59:46 > 0:59:57Premier League encounters between them. Long. Send it long, Barnes and
0:59:57 > 1:00:03Vokes, on the turn. Not a bad effort. Drilled forwards by Long.
1:00:03 > 1:00:08Lovely header into the path of Vokes by Barnes. That is an excellent try
1:00:08 > 1:00:13from Sam Vokes. Fabianski at full stretch, he was worried.
1:00:17 > 1:00:22Swansea have lost just one of their ten games in league and cup under
1:00:22 > 1:00:29Carvalhal. That sole defeat was against Spurs. Mike van der Hoorn.
1:00:29 > 1:00:36Really good pass. Olsson. Space here for Ki Sung-Yeung. Clucas. Good
1:00:36 > 1:00:43turn. They barely had sight of goal so far, Swansea. Clucas created the
1:00:43 > 1:00:49room well.
1:00:55 > 1:00:58So far that match has not been much better than the rotten weather
1:00:58 > 1:01:10today. -- so far at the match. Barnes, nearly into Vokes. Van de
1:01:10 > 1:01:21Horn, risky, but he got away with it. The clearance by van de Horn. It
1:01:21 > 1:01:25is going to be picked up by Carroll, dispossessed by court, Ashley
1:01:25 > 1:01:36Barnes! He scored in their 2-0 win against Swansea in November, he has
1:01:36 > 1:01:43had the first chance of the second half this afternoon. Fabianski had
1:01:43 > 1:01:54it covered had it been on target. Fabianski finding van de Horn. Vokes
1:01:54 > 1:02:00across. Van de Horn looking for a Dyer, well met by Mee. Hendrick is
1:02:00 > 1:02:14fouled by Carroll. Shelved Hendrick in the back. -- shelved Hendrick.
1:02:14 > 1:02:21Mee with the free kick. That is not the best of clearances, tipped over
1:02:21 > 1:02:28the top by Fabianski. Really good effort by good Manson. Mee tossed it
1:02:28 > 1:02:34into the penalty area, the header by Hernandez dropped and it is a smart
1:02:34 > 1:02:40stop by Fabianski as well. He does not really need to sweeten up the
1:02:40 > 1:02:43media given how well things have gone since he took over but that is
1:02:43 > 1:02:48what he did this week, handing out home-made Portuguese paper sheet --
1:02:48 > 1:03:03pastries at his press Conference. Abraham, Ayew. Abraham!
1:03:04 > 1:03:11Abraham, Ayew. Abraham! Carroll. Good delivery. Abraham! Deflected
1:03:11 > 1:03:17and gathered by Pope. Two chances in quick succession for a Tammy Abraham
1:03:17 > 1:03:24arm. Carroll with the whipped ball in. It may have been Jordan Howe you
1:03:24 > 1:03:32who got the touch. Lovely flight of delivery -- it may have been Jordan
1:03:32 > 1:03:37Ayew.
1:03:42 > 1:03:48He wanted handball on the edge of the area by Mee, and you can see
1:03:48 > 1:03:57why. Lowton will take the throw. Abraham.
1:03:57 > 1:04:01Abraham. Trying to win the corner, unable to do so, picked up by
1:04:01 > 1:04:12Carroll, though. Naughton. Still a chance here, trying to tee it up for
1:04:12 > 1:04:17Ayew, Ki Sung-Yeung, it is in! Ki Sung-Yeung with his first Swansea
1:04:17 > 1:04:25goal since May, 2016. And it may well have secured a precious three
1:04:25 > 1:04:31points for them as well. Carroll worked it well. Great run for
1:04:31 > 1:04:37Naughton as well and then he teed it up for a Ki Sung-Yeung Guta get away
1:04:37 > 1:04:45from Jordan Ayew and blasted it away from Pope. One touch to set it up.
1:04:45 > 1:04:57And then low and true and into the bottom corner. 1-0 to Swansea.
1:04:57 > 1:05:05Naughton. Not quite.
1:05:06 > 1:05:11Naughton. Not quite. Andre Ayew. They have numbers forward, here is
1:05:11 > 1:05:19Jordan Ayew. Further wide now. They will be happy to keep it down by the
1:05:19 > 1:05:25corner. He did better than that. He kept it in. Chance to wrap it up but
1:05:25 > 1:05:32Pope makes the block. Lovely piece of escape ology hear from Jordan
1:05:32 > 1:05:38Ayew, he saw no way through, got past a pair of Burnley players, kept
1:05:38 > 1:05:45it in as well, was not far away from squeezing it beyond Pope as well. It
1:05:45 > 1:05:51will be 14 points from seven Premier League games for Carlos Carvalhal
1:05:51 > 1:05:56since he took over, what a job he is doing.
1:05:56 > 1:06:00since he took over, what a job he is doing.Everyone loves him and the
1:06:00 > 1:06:04way he has changed the team is fantastic. Tactically we changed to
1:06:04 > 1:06:10three at the back and it works very well. Everyone knows what we have to
1:06:10 > 1:06:15do on the pitch. That is why, as a team, as an individual, everyone has
1:06:15 > 1:06:20improved a lot.It was a tight game, nothing in it, the action was in
1:06:20 > 1:06:25both boxes and they got the right side of the margins. It was partly
1:06:25 > 1:06:30our own doing, I don't think we were as good as we have been. We still
1:06:30 > 1:06:39created chances,.We put Andre Ayew and Tammy in that moment and also
1:06:39 > 1:06:46Martin Olsson. We have three attackers in the middle, we put all
1:06:46 > 1:06:54the meat in the barbecue, all the meat inside.It has been a real
1:06:54 > 1:06:58improvement under Carlos Carvalhal, not just the football but the post
1:06:58 > 1:07:04match analogies! Whatever he is doing it is working.He was
1:07:04 > 1:07:06positive, he put everything he had on,
1:07:06 > 1:07:08positive, he put everything he had on, off the bench, completely
1:07:08 > 1:07:16positive. He went strong. Early on they went from fullback to fullback.
1:07:16 > 1:07:21Olsson pushing on Mawson. He pushes his full-backs higher up, very
1:07:21 > 1:07:27confident. He tries to play at the back as well, it was not working, he
1:07:27 > 1:07:31brings on Tammy Abraham. Playing football through the middle, we will
1:07:31 > 1:07:36change our game. All day, Burnley went down the middle and Barnes and
1:07:36 > 1:07:41Vokes were good but when Tammy Abraham came on, he occupied that
1:07:41 > 1:07:45two centre halves well, he moved around the defence, the defence of
1:07:45 > 1:07:51Burnley... One of the centre halves is getting dragged down, it is Mee,
1:07:51 > 1:07:55and then another player comes down, he is dragging two players, how do
1:07:55 > 1:08:00we deal with the strength of Tammy Abraham? Bad clearance by Mee and
1:08:00 > 1:08:07they start to play. Tammy is pointing, four defenders from
1:08:07 > 1:08:09Burnley out of position. That is through the presence of Tammy
1:08:09 > 1:08:15Abraham coming on. Ki gets a bit of luck but look how many Burnley
1:08:15 > 1:08:19players they are. They cannot do anything about it, Tammy Abraham
1:08:19 > 1:08:27clicks it on four Ki. He is shattered. This one, he is a
1:08:27 > 1:08:31goal-scorer, he wants to score a goal but he should really pass to
1:08:31 > 1:08:40Jordan Ayew. Great tactical play by Carlos Carvalhal, he got it right.
1:08:40 > 1:08:43Burnley are struggling, then now without a win.
1:08:43 > 1:08:45Stoke's defeat to Bournemouth last weekend saw them drop
1:08:45 > 1:08:48into the bottom three and they faced a Brighton side who -
1:08:48 > 1:08:51like half the Premier League - were in one of the tightest
1:08:51 > 1:08:53relegation battles we have seen for a while.
1:08:53 > 1:08:54Martin Fisher watched this one.
1:08:54 > 1:08:59MARTIN FISHER:
1:08:59 > 1:09:04Brighton start the day in 13th place. Victory for Stoke would draw
1:09:04 > 1:09:13them level on points. Peter Crouch has an ankle infection. Diouf is the
1:09:13 > 1:09:23lone striker. Darren Fletcher is fit again. March is preferred. Glenn
1:09:23 > 1:09:27Murray has scored in each of his last three games including their
1:09:27 > 1:09:33only away goal in their last seven matches. You sounds Stoke have to
1:09:33 > 1:09:37make the most of their home advantage today and for the rest of
1:09:37 > 1:09:40the season if there are ten years stay in the Premier League is not to
1:09:40 > 1:09:48come to an end.
1:09:48 > 1:09:53come to an end. Suddenly an almighty gap develops and the Colombian,
1:09:53 > 1:09:57Izquierdo who scored that belter against West Ham could not find the
1:09:57 > 1:10:10top corner. Chance to cross. Lifted high towards Choupo-Moting who is
1:10:10 > 1:10:17arriving. First corner of the game for them. Fletcher puts it in,
1:10:17 > 1:10:23headed
1:10:23 > 1:10:31headed away by Schelotto. A good effort. A mixed bag so far for Paul
1:10:31 > 1:10:36Lambert, a win, a draw and a defeat and the need to win this sort of
1:10:36 > 1:10:47game. Stephens. Gross. March, bit of room for him to advance. Look at
1:10:47 > 1:10:53this for Izquierdo. March, Izquierdo, Stevens, lovely move, is
1:10:53 > 1:10:59there a finish, Izquierdo, magnificent gold. That is the wonder
1:10:59 > 1:11:04strike against West Ham one week ago, he has come close to surpassing
1:11:04 > 1:11:13that finish. A lovely move and a cool finish the Colombian. Izquierdo
1:11:13 > 1:11:19picks it up and then looks for support, the initial 12 with March,
1:11:19 > 1:11:24the second web Stephens, Stoke City defenders bamboozled as Izquierdo
1:11:24 > 1:11:32slots it beyond Jack Butland. They have been defensively strong for
1:11:32 > 1:11:38most of the season, Brighton. You would expect that from a newly
1:11:38 > 1:11:45promoted side. Stephens. Gross. Time to deliver the cross and it is just
1:11:45 > 1:11:54headed over. He will be disappointed he could not keep that ever down,
1:11:54 > 1:11:58because you sense a second goal here for Brighton and it might well be
1:11:58 > 1:12:02game over. So much time for Pascal Gross to measure the cross, he
1:12:02 > 1:12:08should have put that away.
1:12:09 > 1:12:12should have put that away. Shaqiri. Line up the shot and lets it go and
1:12:12 > 1:12:18finds the bottom corner. Shaqiri comes up with the goods and Stoke
1:12:18 > 1:12:30are level. It is a superb finish from the Swiss. Steps inside and
1:12:30 > 1:12:36Ryan could not get across in time to keep it out. Stoke City right back
1:12:36 > 1:12:43in the game now and the noise returns to the Bet365 Stadium. Their
1:12:43 > 1:12:48Pino.
1:12:48 > 1:12:54Pino. Shaqiri has got away from Stevens. Instead Schelotto and
1:12:54 > 1:12:59Brighton will bring it away. Bobby madly in a good position to see what
1:12:59 > 1:13:04happened there. A little bit theatrical, but there was a definite
1:13:04 > 1:13:17touch from behind. Izquierdo. Izquierdo has gone for the return.
1:13:17 > 1:13:26Goes on. Surely not again? It was so hot to handle. What a month
1:13:26 > 1:13:36Izquierdo is having. Shawcross is looking to make a menace of himself.
1:13:36 > 1:13:41Adam, now for a Shaqiri. They go back close, he goes down, penalty
1:13:41 > 1:13:46given. The foul was by Dale Stephens. Well spotted by the
1:13:46 > 1:13:50referee and Stoke City have a penalty with just over one minute to
1:13:50 > 1:14:01go. That is what the referee saw. Points to the spot and Stoke get the
1:14:01 > 1:14:05penalty. He is clearly irritated because he wants to take the penalty
1:14:05 > 1:14:10but his team-mates have said no, it is not yours, Charlie Adam is the
1:14:10 > 1:14:15designated penalty taker. This is a vital moment for Charlie Adam and
1:14:15 > 1:14:23Stoke City. Matt Ryan, can he keep it out. He can, but add on the
1:14:23 > 1:14:32rebound could not finish. What a save by Matt Ryan? And Charlie Adam
1:14:32 > 1:14:39cannot believe how he did not put home the rebound. It was a great
1:14:39 > 1:14:44recovering tackle. What a tackle that is by Lewis Dunk. Brilliant.
1:14:44 > 1:14:48But the drama not yet over. Three minutes of added time, Charlie Adam
1:14:48 > 1:14:55with the corner. He nearly scored direct from the corner. The effort
1:14:55 > 1:15:05by Kurt Zouma blocked again. Another corner.
1:15:09 > 1:15:11They go again. Off the line this time.
1:15:19 > 1:15:28Just denied. Stoke on three separate occasions, the penalty, the corner
1:15:28 > 1:15:35and then the header.
1:15:39 > 1:15:43Confirmation that the whole ball has not crossed the line, it is very
1:15:43 > 1:15:48close.
1:15:57 > 1:16:01Penalties happen. I won't stand here and blame anybody. That's what
1:16:01 > 1:16:05happens. It won't be the last one he misses in
1:16:05 > 1:16:07happens. It won't be the last one he misses in his career.I thought we
1:16:07 > 1:16:11had the better chances in the game they threatened got in great areas.
1:16:11 > 1:16:14In Shaqiri they have a quality player that can get that type of
1:16:14 > 1:16:20delivery in. It shows on the goal. Jese having won it wanted to take
1:16:20 > 1:16:25the penalty himself. I'm guessing Charlie Adam was the designated
1:16:25 > 1:16:30penalty taker.The good thing is everybody wants to win and score. If
1:16:30 > 1:16:33they didn't have the argument over, then it becomes a little bit
1:16:33 > 1:16:36disappointing. The lads know they have to win games. They know... That
1:16:36 > 1:16:43was a big opportunity.Confusion over who would take the penalty. The
1:16:43 > 1:16:46gaffer told me in no uncertain terms it won't happen again. Difficult
1:16:46 > 1:16:50when that happens. Professional athletes it was childish, to be
1:16:50 > 1:16:54honest.It's a physical game where players are going to be close to
1:16:54 > 1:16:58each other and holding each other. For me still, certainly not a
1:16:58 > 1:17:04penalty.A couple of terrific goals. Extraordinary finale with the
1:17:04 > 1:17:07nonsense around the penalty. What was going on there?It
1:17:07 > 1:17:08nonsense around the penalty. What was going on there?It was such a
1:17:08 > 1:17:14weak penalty as well.In the first place snoochl very soft pen. You can
1:17:14 > 1:17:18see Charlie Adam runs over to the ball. Gets the ball and Jese is not
1:17:18 > 1:17:23happy. Gets the penalty. He wants it. This makes Stoke look a little
1:17:23 > 1:17:27bit silly. If you run over and take the penalty. You have to score.
1:17:27 > 1:17:32Yeah. It doesn't It doesn't help help..That might have been another
1:17:32 > 1:17:38penalty.I think it was.This tackle here. He doesn't get the ball. Takes
1:17:38 > 1:17:42Charlie Adam down. It hits his hand. If you watch it slowly. He misses
1:17:42 > 1:17:46the ball. It hits his hand. It could have been another pen. If you are
1:17:46 > 1:17:49confident to get the ball out of the crowd you have to score. If you take
1:17:49 > 1:17:53charge you have to score.We are out of time. Dion thanks very much,
1:17:53 > 1:17:56Danny as always. That is all we have time for. Let us see the Premier
1:17:56 > 1:18:00League table before we leave. Manchester City have increased their
1:18:00 > 1:18:04advantage at the top to 16 points. Tottenham are up to third with
1:18:04 > 1:18:08Farsal now five points adrift of the top four. Manchester United,
1:18:08 > 1:18:12Liverpool and Chelsea are all yet to play. Stoke stay in bottom three,
1:18:12 > 1:18:16level on points with Newcastle. Swansea' climb to 15, two points
1:18:16 > 1:18:22clear of trouble. Let us see what the Sunday papers have to say. The
1:18:22 > 1:18:27Times report that Antonio Conte believes the club will be "stupid"
1:18:27 > 1:18:38to sack them when they are in the hunt of trophies. The Mail on
1:18:38 > 1:18:41Sunday, they focus onfallal's fading top four hopes.
1:18:41 > 1:18:44So Manchester City don't play again in the league until March.
1:18:44 > 1:18:47Perhaps if they left it until May, we might have a title race.
1:18:47 > 1:18:55Goodbye.
