0:00:16 > 0:00:19How about that?

0:00:19 > 0:00:23Just brilliant, just brilliant.

0:00:23 > 0:00:27Oh, that is wonderful.

0:00:27 > 0:00:32An absolute belter.

0:00:32 > 0:00:34What a chance.

0:00:34 > 0:00:36What a goal!

0:00:36 > 0:00:44Blue is the colour of the Premier League winners.

0:00:45 > 0:00:46Good evening.

0:00:46 > 0:00:48Eight Premier League games on the way and not a video

0:00:48 > 0:00:50assistant referee in sight.

0:00:50 > 0:00:51Good news then for Alan Shearer's blood pressure.

0:00:51 > 0:00:54Jermaine Jenas is alongside him.

0:00:54 > 0:00:56Do us a favour Jermaine, don't mention the VAR.

0:00:56 > 0:00:59I did it once, but I think I got away with it.

0:00:59 > 0:01:00We begin at the Emirates.

0:01:00 > 0:01:03Arsenal were eight points off a Champions League place

0:01:03 > 0:01:05going into their game against Crystal Palace,

0:01:05 > 0:01:06who'd lost just once in the last 12.

0:01:06 > 0:01:08Commentary comes from Steve Wilson.

0:01:08 > 0:01:12STEVE WILSON:

0:01:12 > 0:01:19Arsenal feel like a club in limbo just now. Palace may fancy

0:01:19 > 0:01:25registering their first ever win at the Emirates. Alexis Sanchez who was

0:01:25 > 0:01:29sometimes unplayable for Arsenal is unpickable with his move to

0:01:29 > 0:01:35Manchester United edging towards its conclusion. That's pretty

0:01:35 > 0:01:40unpalatable too forArismendial. Welbeck and Ramsey are out. Walcott

0:01:40 > 0:01:45is sold. Ozil is available again. Koscielny and Monreal are back too.

0:01:45 > 0:01:55Palace make one change. Cab. The Eagles could be in the top half

0:01:55 > 0:02:03tonight, but they didn't score until October.

0:02:03 > 0:02:10Ozil helping it on to Iwobi. Back into Mesut Ozil. Now Iwobi. Shooting

0:02:10 > 0:02:17chance. Takes the chance to get the shot away. Hennessey, better safe

0:02:17 > 0:02:22than sorry from the Palace goalkeeper making it wasn't going to

0:02:22 > 0:02:27end up in the back of his net. Iwobi found space with a couple of steps

0:02:27 > 0:02:34backwards. A corner with is put into the back of the net by Monreal after

0:02:34 > 0:02:40five minutes. The Spaniard heads Arsenal in front. Roy Hodgson will

0:02:40 > 0:02:46be furious with this goal. Direct from a corner. Monreal got away from

0:02:46 > 0:02:53James McArthur and ended up with a free header, six yards out. Well, it

0:02:53 > 0:02:59was a dismal goal from Crystal Palace' point of view. Here's El

0:02:59 > 0:03:10Neny. Xhaka. Lacazette. Iwobi. Nicely worked again. Only as far as

0:03:10 > 0:03:18Monreal. Iwobi. 2-0.

0:03:18 > 0:03:20Monreal. Iwobi. 2-0. Arsenal are running away with this inside 10

0:03:20 > 0:03:28minutes. Monreal with the first, Iwobi with the second. It's been an

0:03:28 > 0:03:34irresistible start by Arsene Wenger's side. Nice pace about this

0:03:34 > 0:03:42interchange. Fosu-Mensah didn't really deal with it. Nacho Monreal

0:03:42 > 0:03:48with the assist to add to his goal, giving Alex Iwobi the tap-in.

0:03:48 > 0:03:53Arsenal 2, Crystal Palace 0. Fewer than 10 minutes played when Iwobi

0:03:53 > 0:04:00scored the second.

0:04:00 > 0:04:07scored the second. Koscielny. Now, Lacazette. Slid behind by Kelly.

0:04:07 > 0:04:11It's an Arsenal corner. Well, they are slicing through Crystal Palace

0:04:11 > 0:04:17at will at the moment.

0:04:17 > 0:04:27at will at the moment. It's Xhaka's corner. Koscielny's in. It's 3-0. We

0:04:27 > 0:04:31have only played 13 minutes. Crystal Palace are 3-0 down. Two of the

0:04:31 > 0:04:36goals have come from corners. Well, Roy Hodgson will be absolutely

0:04:36 > 0:04:43livid. Monreal claims another assist. Koscielny with the finish.

0:04:43 > 0:04:51Arsenal 3, Crystal Palace 0. It's been an absolutely diabolical start

0:04:51 > 0:04:58from Crystal Palace. The tale of the unexpected for Arsene Wenger, such

0:04:58 > 0:05:05was the gloom coming into this game.

0:05:13 > 0:05:20Ozil, Wilshere. Beautiful, Lacazette, 4-0. Wonderful goal. Oh,

0:05:20 > 0:05:25that's a real thing of beauty. Finished off by Lacazette. Arsenal

0:05:25 > 0:05:344, Crystal Palace 0. But look at the build-up.

0:05:34 > 0:05:38build-up. Taken apart, Crystal Palace. Vintage Arsenal, who lead by

0:05:38 > 0:05:43four.

0:05:44 > 0:05:49four. There has been a wonderful turn around under Roy Hodgson, but

0:05:49 > 0:05:59it's been a desperate 20 minutes here. Here's Iwobi. Ozil. Wilshere.

0:05:59 > 0:06:05Iwobi!

0:06:05 > 0:06:08Iwobi! Lovely interchange, again. Hennessey very happy to see it

0:06:08 > 0:06:17coming straight at him. Well, he will be absolutely stunned and

0:06:17 > 0:06:25shocked by what he has just witnessed here. Sako. Stayed on his

0:06:25 > 0:06:29feet well Sako. You don't want him to hit it with his left. He went

0:06:29 > 0:06:34with his right. He didn't generate the same kind of power. Cech happy

0:06:34 > 0:06:41to fall on it. Wilfred Zaha very frustrated he didn't get a pass.

0:06:41 > 0:06:50Cabaye into Benteke.

0:06:51 > 0:06:54That's overhit by Maitland-Niles. Finding space, deflected. Cech

0:06:54 > 0:06:59furious. I don't know if he made a save there, Cech, I think he might

0:06:59 > 0:07:04have done, certainly a deflection and then possibly a save. He's

0:07:04 > 0:07:10furious with Maitland-Niles. As well he might be. His 200th clean sheet

0:07:10 > 0:07:16is on the line. He did. He made a really good save here. Ozil. Lovely

0:07:16 > 0:07:27ball that. Iwobi. Got the beating of Tomkins, but not Hennessey. Well, in

0:07:27 > 0:07:32amongst that counter-attack was the most glorious ball from Mesut Ozil.

0:07:32 > 0:07:40Beautifully spung by Ozil to Iwobi. Tomkins melted away, fortunately for

0:07:40 > 0:07:46Palace, Hennessey didn't.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50Palace, Hennessey didn't. Bakayoko Sako. Good ball. Benteke for Palace.

0:07:50 > 0:07:56Cech saves. Clean sheet record intact for now. Christian Benteke's

0:07:56 > 0:08:05having a rotten season in front of goal, he really is.

0:08:05 > 0:08:12goal, he really is. Heavy touch from Maitland-Niles. Cabaye, Zaha.

0:08:12 > 0:08:21McArthur, Cabaye, arriving. Did they win the ball? It's a corner. Wasn't

0:08:21 > 0:08:26taking any prisoners then Mustafi. Cabaye, Benteke's climb. On the

0:08:26 > 0:08:33turn, and into the back of the net from Luka Milivojevic. Crystal

0:08:33 > 0:08:37Palace have a goal and it's another frustrating day for Petr Cech

0:08:37 > 0:08:44because he will be still stuck on 199 Premier League clean sheets.

0:08:44 > 0:08:47Smart turn from Milivojevic. Cech beaten, Crystal Palace on the

0:08:47 > 0:08:59scoresheet. So 4-1. Van Aanholt's header. McArthur. Won back for

0:08:59 > 0:09:04Arsenal by Nelson. Wilshere trying to squeeze it through to Lacazette.

0:09:04 > 0:09:11He has. Hennessey with the block. Lacazette, again. Red and white

0:09:11 > 0:09:14shirts queueing up, and Hennessey takes it. Good double save by Wayne

0:09:14 > 0:09:22Hennessey in the Palace goal.

0:09:22 > 0:09:32Wilshere, nice angle on that to Xhaka. Lacazette. Good feet, Xhaka.

0:09:32 > 0:09:37Lacazette. Challenge by Tomkins. Looked fair enough to me. Arsenal

0:09:37 > 0:09:43fans asking for a penalty, but the referee says not. Tomkins made the

0:09:43 > 0:09:48tackle. It seemed to me to be a perfectly legitimate one. Oh, I

0:09:48 > 0:09:54don't know though, having said that, I might change my mind on that if I

0:09:54 > 0:10:05am allowed. He caught the man. Four goals in 16 first half minutes.

0:10:05 > 0:10:10Monreal, Iwobi, Koscielny and Lacazette as Wilshere and Ozil tore

0:10:10 > 0:10:14Crystal Palace apart. A consolation from Milivojevic, but Arsenal's

0:10:14 > 0:10:16points all day long. 4-1.

0:10:16 > 0:10:18from Milivojevic, but Arsenal's points all day long. 4-1.We started

0:10:18 > 0:10:25very well. We played our game like we can play. With the quick, fast

0:10:25 > 0:10:31passing and good combination, good movement. Some good chances after

0:10:31 > 0:10:35that. I think the whole first half was of top quality.We needed that

0:10:35 > 0:10:39performance. We haven't been good enough recently. We dropped points

0:10:39 > 0:10:43we know Palace were on a great run. They haven't lost on a while. The

0:10:43 > 0:10:47only team to beat them in a while was us. We knew we do it. We had to

0:10:47 > 0:10:51start the game quick witch did that. We are happy.We played like the

0:10:51 > 0:10:55Crystal Palace team we tried to be in the second-half. It was nice at

0:10:55 > 0:10:59least that the beating we took. It was a heavy beating, at least it

0:10:59 > 0:11:04stayed at a three goal margin and wasn't increased to more than the

0:11:04 > 0:11:10four goals that can often happen. People are expecting news imminently

0:11:10 > 0:11:14of Sanchez and Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang. Do you have any news

0:11:14 > 0:11:22today?On Aubameyang, no, because nothing is happening. On Sanchez, it

0:11:22 > 0:11:27will only happen if Mkhitaryan comes here. That will be decided in the

0:11:27 > 0:11:31next 48-hours. At the moment, I cannot tell you much more. It's a

0:11:31 > 0:11:37possibility, but it's far from being over.We understand it's not quite

0:11:37 > 0:11:41over the line, but it's getting pretty close. It's expected to be

0:11:41 > 0:11:46announced on Monday, if all goes swimmingly well for both sides. It

0:11:46 > 0:11:50was a game really, Jermaine, wasn't it, that was pretty much over in the

0:11:50 > 0:11:55first few minutes before it began. A blistering start from Arsenal?It

0:11:55 > 0:12:00was the game decided in 45 minutes. Arsenal were terrific in that 45

0:12:00 > 0:12:02minutes. I was surprised by this Crystal

0:12:02 > 0:12:03minutes. I was surprised by this Crystal Palace performance. They

0:12:03 > 0:12:06have been decent since Roy Hodgson took over. He will be disappointed

0:12:06 > 0:12:10by this. I highlighted Monreal and McArthur because McArthur doesn't

0:12:10 > 0:12:14look at the ball once. When he does decide to have a look at the ball,

0:12:14 > 0:12:18it's too late. Monreal is round the back, puts it in the back of the

0:12:18 > 0:12:22net. He's not really watching the man. He puts his hands on his head

0:12:22 > 0:12:26he knows exactly what he's done wrong. This time it's Zaha on

0:12:26 > 0:12:30Monreal there. Is your man. You can see him there. Take responsibility.

0:12:30 > 0:12:34He doesn't. He kind of drifts into an attacking area. When he reacts,

0:12:34 > 0:12:38it's too late. Even then it's not really commit canned. Monreal has

0:12:38 > 0:12:41time and space to pick out his man, he does that. He hits the back of

0:12:41 > 0:12:48the net. McArthur made a mistake at this point. Panicking. Too tight to

0:12:48 > 0:12:52Monreal. Monreal uses his experience be by pushing him one way, running

0:12:52 > 0:12:55round the other. Gets the square ball and they bundle it into the

0:12:55 > 0:12:59back of the net. I was really surprised by the errors that Crystal

0:12:59 > 0:13:04Palace made in this game. They were individual errors, isolated errors.

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Not much that Roy Hodgson can do about that, I don't think.I think

0:13:08 > 0:13:11there is probably a bit of - they beat Burnley last weekend, five

0:13:11 > 0:13:16points clear of the relegation zone. They probably felt as if it was a

0:13:16 > 0:13:20free game, but you can't go into performances like that. Having said

0:13:20 > 0:13:28that, where they are now to when Roy took over they will get back to

0:13:28 > 0:13:32putting in a performance last week. In the absence of Sanchez more rests

0:13:32 > 0:13:35on the shoulders of Ozil. He seemed to rise to the challenge?He did.

0:13:35 > 0:13:40There has been a lot of uncertainty about this man's future as well. He

0:13:40 > 0:13:43definitely didn't let it affect him today. I thought he was absolutely

0:13:43 > 0:13:46brilliant. He was at the heart of everything that was good about

0:13:46 > 0:13:50Arsenal. Today he was linking up well and playing with confidence. He

0:13:50 > 0:13:54had that air and swagger about himself on the pitch. Decent effort

0:13:54 > 0:13:57there by Iwobi. It was his linkup play of Lacazette that I really

0:13:57 > 0:14:01enjoyed. Help seemed to want to try to find the striker. Find him once

0:14:01 > 0:14:06already in that move. Tries to find him again. Didn't come off. Look at

0:14:06 > 0:14:10how he glides by players. Moving with ease. Finds him. Could have

0:14:10 > 0:14:13been played in by Lacazette for one-on-one himself. He doesn't. This

0:14:13 > 0:14:18is the goal. Brilliant. He starts the move, keeps it moving. The

0:14:18 > 0:14:21awareness he shows here. That is what people mean by having a picture

0:14:21 > 0:14:25in your mind of the situation. That's what he's got. Finds

0:14:25 > 0:14:31Lacazette, sticks it in the back of the net. In top form, Ozil.

0:14:31 > 0:14:35Excellent spacial awareness.

0:14:35 > 0:14:37After losing their unbeaten record at Liverpool on Sunday,

0:14:37 > 0:14:39Manchester City faced a Newcastle side criticised in some

0:14:39 > 0:14:41quarters for their negative approach when beaten 1-0

0:14:41 > 0:14:43by the leaders last month.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46Guy Mowbray was at The Etihad.

0:14:46 > 0:14:50GUY MOWBRAY:

0:14:50 > 0:14:52Zinchenko gets his first Premier League start for Manchester City.

0:14:52 > 0:14:59Ever present Everton will be keen to instantly get back to keeping clean

0:14:59 > 0:15:03sheets against a Newcastle side that barely tested them at all on ties by

0:15:03 > 0:15:08just three and a half weeks ago. Joselu scored Newcastle's equaliser

0:15:08 > 0:15:11Agut as a sub against Swansea last week and he takes Dwight Gayle's

0:15:11 > 0:15:16place in the team. His last eight games have been home goals. His last

0:15:16 > 0:15:22away? Two for Deportivo La Coruna and Real Madrid. Absolutely

0:15:22 > 0:15:25imperative for Newcastle United that they get off to a sure start and

0:15:25 > 0:15:31don't concede an early goal. A hump and a barge between Kyle Walker and

0:15:31 > 0:15:35Joselu, resulting in a Newcastle free kick. Deliberate from Walker.

0:15:35 > 0:15:42Jonjo Shelvey takes a quick free kick to catch City out. Atsu's

0:15:42 > 0:15:47Balling, it's defended, but it's not away yet. Ederson in the end pops it

0:15:47 > 0:15:51off the ahead of team-mate John Stones and it was smart from Jonjo

0:15:51 > 0:15:55Shelvey. Given the benefit of the doubt was Christian Atsu, might have

0:15:55 > 0:15:58been just offside. Some good defending by Zinchenko at the back

0:15:58 > 0:16:08post. Joselu. Fernandinho beat Shelvey do it. Tsarnaev on the move

0:16:08 > 0:16:17down the centre. It's Silva to the left of De Bruyne will stop Silva,

0:16:17 > 0:16:21looking for sterling. Offside. Flag is up. Raheem Sterling thought that

0:16:21 > 0:16:27he'd finished the flowing move. It's his celebrations that have finished

0:16:27 > 0:16:33instead. It's a very tight call, maybe just about right. Pep

0:16:33 > 0:16:39Guardiola had a very quick look down the line. He knew. Here's Otamendi,

0:16:39 > 0:16:44De Bruyne.

0:16:44 > 0:16:50De Bruyne. Sterling, Sterling's shot straight at Darlow. Darlow takes two

0:16:50 > 0:16:55great lungful. Of air. So far so good for the Newcastle keeper and

0:16:55 > 0:16:59those in front of him. Manchester City Bosingwa game, but Newcastle

0:16:59 > 0:17:03aren't letting them through. -- Manchester City are bossing the

0:17:03 > 0:17:08game.

0:17:08 > 0:17:15game. Zinchenko within on bad. Touch back to Silva. Cleared away from

0:17:15 > 0:17:20Fernandinho, as he was trying to apply the finishing touch.

0:17:27 > 0:17:36De Bruyne, just too high for Aguero, but it's gone in. Was there the

0:17:36 > 0:17:40faintest of flicks from Sergio Aguero, or is it Kevin De Bruyne's

0:17:40 > 0:17:44goal directly? There's a bit of relief in that from Pep Guardiola.

0:17:44 > 0:17:49They don't mind who has scored. Well, if it's Newcastle it has to be

0:17:49 > 0:17:54Sergio Aguero. Just the faintest of flicks off the top of his head. Just

0:17:54 > 0:18:01enough hair to make contact with the ball. And Sergio Aguero scores for

0:18:01 > 0:18:06the fifth home game in a row and he scores on hits 200th Premier League

0:18:06 > 0:18:12appearance, his 136th goal of the competition. He's scored in all four

0:18:12 > 0:18:20of Newcastle's last four league visits here. De Bruyne. Darlow, just

0:18:20 > 0:18:25enough on it, just enough. It wouldn't have been any doubt about

0:18:25 > 0:18:32who was scoring that one. It's a good save from Karl Darlow.

0:18:32 > 0:18:37Manchester City are in complete control of the game. It really ought

0:18:37 > 0:18:44to be only a matter of time before they score at least one more today.

0:18:44 > 0:18:48Shelvey snubbed that one, Fernandinho is winning it back.

0:18:48 > 0:18:50Aguero.

0:18:58 > 0:19:02Sterling and Silva combine, Sterling goes on and Sterling is felled. It's

0:19:02 > 0:19:10a Manchester City penalty. It's a push, says Paul Tierney. Sterling is

0:19:10 > 0:19:16playing on the edge of his balance all the time there. As Manquillo

0:19:16 > 0:19:19floundered he could do nothing other than fall into the city number seven

0:19:19 > 0:19:28and bring him down. Aguero on the spot and he crashes it past Darlow.

0:19:28 > 0:19:32It went through the hands of the Newcastle keeper. Two for Sergio

0:19:32 > 0:19:40Aguero. Never settles for 11 he's playing Newcastle United. -- he

0:19:40 > 0:19:43never settles for one, when he's playing Newcastle United. He got

0:19:43 > 0:19:50something on it, Darlow, but it was too hot for him. Dummett's header,

0:19:50 > 0:19:53De Bruyne, wouldn't stay with him.

0:19:57 > 0:20:03One for Murphy to run onto and Murphy, in on goal for Newcastle and

0:20:03 > 0:20:08he's clipped it over Ederson and scored for Newcastle. It's Jacob

0:20:08 > 0:20:15Murphy's first goal for the club. Look at the scenes at the away and.

0:20:15 > 0:20:20The ball was quickly wrested from the goal, Jonjo Shelvey was in a

0:20:20 > 0:20:26hurry to get the game going again. Newcastle believe the game. Out of

0:20:26 > 0:20:31nowhere. Manchester City two, Newcastle United one. Is it game on?

0:20:31 > 0:20:41Just when it looks like game over. Silva, behind four corner number 15

0:20:41 > 0:20:45of the match for Manchester City.

0:20:45 > 0:20:52De Bruyne in, wait for something different there. He's found a way

0:20:52 > 0:20:56through to Sergio Aguero, who can't find a way through to goal this

0:20:56 > 0:21:01time. How close was he to his second hat-trick of the season? Getting

0:21:01 > 0:21:10closer towards that post all the time, but not quite quickly enough.

0:21:10 > 0:21:18Zinchenko to De Bruyne. Leroy Sane. There's Sterling, kept out by Darlow

0:21:18 > 0:21:22and Aguero has hit the side of the net. What a save from Karl Darlow.

0:21:22 > 0:21:27Tipped it onto the post. Keeps Newcastle in the match. One of those

0:21:27 > 0:21:33dames for -- one of those days for Raheem Sterling. One in the net and

0:21:33 > 0:21:36ruled offside, he thought he'd scored there as well. Rafa Benitez

0:21:36 > 0:21:43said he knew a few weeks ago that takeover wasn't going to happen, but

0:21:43 > 0:21:48he's optimistic about bringing in new players. Diame goes on and his

0:21:48 > 0:21:52past Stones and draws a save from Ederson, who has fumbled it. Beats

0:21:52 > 0:22:00the other one away. Diame, Ederson, cleared by Fernandinho.

0:22:00 > 0:22:04cleared by Fernandinho. Diame is becoming increasingly a key figure

0:22:04 > 0:22:09in a match. He's starting to stride on with purpose, involved a couple

0:22:09 > 0:22:15of times here. Denied in the end by Ederson, who gratefully pounced to

0:22:15 > 0:22:20his feet. Were Newcastle to score a second, people would start asking

0:22:20 > 0:22:26questions of Manchester City, beaten last week. Can Sterling find Sane?

0:22:26 > 0:22:30Use founder Aguero in the first instance. Darlow at full stretch, he

0:22:30 > 0:22:39didn't get anything on it, he didn't need to. Wide from De Bruyne.

0:22:42 > 0:22:50Sane goes through. Can't go all the way, or can he? He might. Brilliant

0:22:50 > 0:22:57Leroy Sane, Aguero. A Sergio Aguero hat-trick. Another against

0:22:57 > 0:23:04Newcastle. Nearly all of the credit for that goal, the goal that should

0:23:04 > 0:23:10finally see off the Newcastle to challenge today, goes to Leroy Sane.

0:23:10 > 0:23:16Look at this from Sane, pace, balance, awareness. A nice bit of

0:23:16 > 0:23:19skill and the vision to pick out the man who gets most of Manchester

0:23:19 > 0:23:25City's goals. It's all there. It's just super from Sane and it's

0:23:25 > 0:23:28typically clinical from Sergio Aguero. Manchester City three,

0:23:28 > 0:23:35Newcastle United one.It's so important because we need goals and

0:23:35 > 0:23:40always score, scoring the past, in the present, we're going to score in

0:23:40 > 0:23:48the future, but of course we speak many times about that, you have to

0:23:48 > 0:23:52be aggressive. All our strikers and midfielders.We wanted to stay in

0:23:52 > 0:23:57the game and we did it stop the penalty was a little bit soft and it

0:23:57 > 0:24:00changed everything, but they are very good team, they have very good

0:24:00 > 0:24:07players but our reaction was quite good and we were expecting it will

0:24:07 > 0:24:10be tucked in and we have to defend well and play counterattack and we

0:24:10 > 0:24:17did it and we did well.Almost every game we control 90 minutes I think,

0:24:17 > 0:24:20yeah, sometimes we have some mistakes of course, we are not

0:24:20 > 0:24:27machines, and but of course we are on the right way.It's OK, three

0:24:27 > 0:24:32more points. We need ten more to be champion and we're going to try the

0:24:32 > 0:24:36next one and the next one. Everyone is spending a lot of money, so this

0:24:36 > 0:24:42is why we spend something in this window. Mike Ashley said we have the

0:24:42 > 0:24:46red light, hopefully we can see new faces before the end of this window.

0:24:46 > 0:24:50Good to hear from Kevin De Bruyne's some there as well. I read somewhere

0:24:50 > 0:24:55Alan, that the art of the fox in the box, the poacher, calling what you

0:24:55 > 0:25:02like, is dead. Aguero makes a nonsense of doesn't he?Well, he's

0:25:02 > 0:25:07very, very good as most things at and you should be as a centre

0:25:07 > 0:25:11forward, particularly scoring goals. He loves playing against Newcastle.

0:25:11 > 0:25:1414 he's got, more than any other club. He starts quicker than anyone

0:25:14 > 0:25:19else. That's why he gets on the bald before the defenders, gets a little

0:25:19 > 0:25:24lamb from it and everything good about Man City today came through

0:25:24 > 0:25:29him," role, pace, into the box, gets his shot away, locate, it's blocked,

0:25:29 > 0:25:35finds himself in space. Give and go." Role. Another little give and

0:25:35 > 0:25:39go, this time he's in the box again, they can't touch him, he knows that.

0:25:39 > 0:25:44Decent effort, gets another shot away. I figure it's a penalty, he's

0:25:44 > 0:25:48pushing him, he's pushing him. I thought it was a penalty. Keeper

0:25:48 > 0:25:52gets a hand to it but he was never going to stop that. I was waiting

0:25:52 > 0:25:56for the net to move on that one. This is just incredible from Sane.

0:25:56 > 0:26:00The pace of him, watch the little nutmegged As, see you later. He

0:26:00 > 0:26:05picks Aguero out, left foot back of the net, left foot, right foot,

0:26:05 > 0:26:08header, thanks very much, there's the ball and the hat-trick.

0:26:08 > 0:26:16Magnificent.Newcastle's plan was to sit very deep, didn't get hardly any

0:26:16 > 0:26:23possession. 19% possession.I thought Rafa got heavily criticised

0:26:23 > 0:26:25for the performers at St James' Park and could have done again today.

0:26:25 > 0:26:28He's concerned about goal difference. He obviously sees it as

0:26:28 > 0:26:33an extra point and I think over the two against Manchester City it's

0:26:33 > 0:26:38right at the forefront of his mind. He went with five at the back today,

0:26:38 > 0:26:41Lascelles, Clark and Hayden, the midfielder dropped into a back

0:26:41 > 0:26:44three. I thought for large periods of the game they defended pretty

0:26:44 > 0:26:48well. I think you know what you're going to get with Manchester City.

0:26:48 > 0:26:52They are going to ask you a lot of questions. They are going to put the

0:26:52 > 0:26:55ball in behind you, Manquillo doing very well there. This time it was

0:26:55 > 0:27:00Hayden, got his body in the way, all though I thought he had a very good

0:27:00 > 0:27:04game. When I looked at this game I thought this will really annoy Rafa

0:27:04 > 0:27:09Benitez, it's not the type of goal he expects to concede. Dummett has

0:27:09 > 0:27:14his eye on Sane, Ciaran Clark can see exactly where Aguero is.The

0:27:14 > 0:27:18striker gambles on the space and you get in front.You have to get bodies

0:27:18 > 0:27:23around you, he's got Lascelles, yes, he's gambled but Ciaran Clark should

0:27:23 > 0:27:26expect that. This is a huge bonus for Rafa Benitez. I'm not talking

0:27:26 > 0:27:30about goal difference. This goal could be vital at the end of the

0:27:30 > 0:27:35season. Stoke have conceded seven, Watford have conceded six, Swansea

0:27:35 > 0:27:41have conceded four Bournemouth over two games has conceded six. All

0:27:41 > 0:27:45against Manchester City. Rafah had gone through two games and conceded

0:27:45 > 0:27:50four goals.It's tired. I am bobbin that could come into play, the goal

0:27:50 > 0:27:53difference. The takeover of Newcastle doesn't seem to be making

0:27:53 > 0:27:57much headway at present. Where do you stand on this whole thing?

0:27:57 > 0:28:01Something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it and it

0:28:01 > 0:28:05looks as if no one is prepared to pay what Mike Ashley wants and

0:28:05 > 0:28:08that's fine, he's entitled to do that. But the reason I think

0:28:08 > 0:28:14Newcastle fans want change and most of them want change, is they are not

0:28:14 > 0:28:17getting value for money. And this is the reason why. Every club in the

0:28:17 > 0:28:21Premier League over the last two or three years has broken their

0:28:21 > 0:28:27transfer record. Newcastle's transferred record, 2005, was

0:28:27 > 0:28:31Michael Owen, £16 million. Another reason. Nine of the players that

0:28:31 > 0:28:34played today were in the Championship last season. The other

0:28:34 > 0:28:38two, Manquillo was at Sunderland, Yen-Hsun Lu was Stoke. That's the

0:28:38 > 0:28:42reason why Newcastle fans want a change of owner -- Joselu was at

0:28:42 > 0:28:44Stoke.

0:28:44 > 0:28:46After needing penalties to get past Championship side

0:28:46 > 0:28:48Norwich in the FA Cup on Wednesday, Chelsea travelled

0:28:48 > 0:28:51to Brighton, who'd lost just once in their last 10 at the

0:28:51 > 0:28:52Amex Stadium.

0:28:52 > 0:28:53Simon Brotherton watched this one.

0:28:53 > 0:28:57SIMON BROTHERTON:

0:28:57 > 0:29:02Brighton go to a back three today, Connor Goldson making a start. M.Ed.

0:29:02 > 0:29:06Leads the attack, Murray is docked to the bench. Willy Caballero makes

0:29:06 > 0:29:10his first league appearance of the season for Chelsea with Thibaut

0:29:10 > 0:29:13Courtois out because of an ankle injury and there's another chance

0:29:13 > 0:29:21for Michy Batshuayi upfront, with Alvaro Morata and Pedro suspended.

0:29:21 > 0:29:25Half a dozen changes made by Antonio Conte for this one. Chelsea looking

0:29:25 > 0:29:32for their first league win of the new year still. Azpilicueta, forward

0:29:32 > 0:29:36to Willian, short, sharp ball into Hazard, the little flick picks up

0:29:36 > 0:29:41Batshuayi. He's got four bought from Victor Moses on the far side. --

0:29:41 > 0:29:47he's got support from Victor Moses on the far side. Les Champs, first

0:29:47 > 0:29:51goal, didn't take Chelsea Long, just under three minutes and Eden Hazard,

0:29:51 > 0:29:54who scored the winning penalty against Norwich on Wednesday in the

0:29:54 > 0:29:59FA Cup, gives his take the lead in the Premier League. Brighton nil,

0:29:59 > 0:30:03Chelsea one. Batshuayi just rolling it out to Moses. The deflection

0:30:03 > 0:30:10coming off Stephens, the Brighton number six, poked into the path of

0:30:10 > 0:30:14Eden Hazard. Who picked his way through the little sidestep, saw the

0:30:14 > 0:30:22gap and founded. That's the 100th league goal of Eden Hazard's career,

0:30:22 > 0:30:2764 for Chelsea, 36 for Lille.

0:30:27 > 0:30:34Willian now with some space. Hazard ahead of him. Batshuayi. Willian, a

0:30:34 > 0:30:40lovely flow about Chelsea here. It's absolutely sensational! What a

0:30:40 > 0:30:45wonderful goal. Scored by Willian. That was world-class from start to

0:30:45 > 0:30:50finish. Brighton & Hove Albion are two goals down inside six minutes

0:30:50 > 0:30:54here. It's a whirlwind start from Chelsea. Here the initial pass

0:30:54 > 0:31:00forward from Dunk intercepted. Willian involved early in the move.

0:31:00 > 0:31:05Hazard, Batshuayi and Willian all combining. Beautiful, intricate

0:31:05 > 0:31:09passing and a precise finish here off the outside of the Brazilian's

0:31:09 > 0:31:15boot sending the ball spinning beyond the reach of Matt Ryan. You

0:31:15 > 0:31:19won't see many better goals than that all season. Brighton 0, Chelsea

0:31:19 > 0:31:272. That one from the very top drawer. Two minutes 50 seconds the

0:31:27 > 0:31:31time between the two Chelsea goals. Well not quite what Chris Hughton

0:31:31 > 0:31:40had in mind when he made all his changes today.

0:31:40 > 0:31:44changes today. Moses trying to cover. Caballero able to get there.

0:31:44 > 0:31:51Was he fouled there? Over it comes. Just out of reach for Hemed.

0:31:51 > 0:31:57Brighton pushing hard for a foothold in the game. Caballero was at full

0:31:57 > 0:32:00stretch there, in every sense of the world. First anxious moment for

0:32:00 > 0:32:07Chelsea.

0:32:07 > 0:32:10Chelsea. Did cut across Schelotto. Brighton with a shout for a penalty

0:32:10 > 0:32:20here. Nothing given from the officials. There's the contact, but

0:32:20 > 0:32:24I'm not sure that the referee had a very clear view given the two

0:32:24 > 0:32:28Chelsea defenders standing between him and the ball.

0:32:31 > 0:32:40This is Stephens. Oh, given it away. Willian finding Hazard. Those two

0:32:40 > 0:32:44again causing problems for Brighton. Batshuayi racing forward. Hazard

0:32:44 > 0:32:49still going here. The nutmeg picking up Batshuayi. Blocked by Matt Ryan

0:32:49 > 0:32:53again. Chelsea look as if they might potentially score almost every time

0:32:53 > 0:32:56that they go forward into the Brighton penalty area in this first

0:32:56 > 0:33:03half. Schelotto giving the ball away under pressure. Willian and Hazard

0:33:03 > 0:33:07between them in particular are causing nightmares for the Brighton

0:33:07 > 0:33:11defence. This the first time Brighton have changed to three at

0:33:11 > 0:33:15the back in the Premier League all season. Haven't made the best of

0:33:15 > 0:33:24starts with the new setup. March on the Brighton left. Alonso.

0:33:26 > 0:33:33Decent ball in. There's a chance. Saved by Caballero to denied Hemed.

0:33:33 > 0:33:40Brilliant start from the Chelsea keeper. -- brilliant stop from the

0:33:40 > 0:33:46Chelsea keeper. Lovely ball in. Hemed's header saved by the left

0:33:46 > 0:33:51hand of Caballero.

0:33:52 > 0:33:58hand of Caballero. Schelotto forward. Up against Rudiger.

0:33:58 > 0:34:04Schelotto, Cha end by Bakayoko. The referee says no it's a goal kick.

0:34:04 > 0:34:08Schelotto is going absolutely mad. Second time he's been on the deck

0:34:08 > 0:34:12inside the Chelsea penalty area in this first half. Schelotto

0:34:12 > 0:34:16challenged by Bakayoko. The referee, who does have a clear view this

0:34:16 > 0:34:23time, says no penalty. The referee I think is going book Schelotto for

0:34:23 > 0:34:29his overly spirited response.

0:34:30 > 0:34:35his overly spirited response. Chance for Brighton to run here. Schelotto

0:34:35 > 0:34:40racing down that far side. Up against Alonso. Gross. It's a

0:34:40 > 0:34:50header. Oh, against the outside of the post. Unlucky there not to have

0:34:50 > 0:34:53a foothold and their first goal of the afternoon. Here's the header.

0:34:53 > 0:35:00The closest Brighton have come to scoring. Rattling the frame of the

0:35:00 > 0:35:05goal.

0:35:05 > 0:35:09goal. Dunk goes down, Hazard holds off Stephens. The Stephens comes

0:35:09 > 0:35:15back at him to make the challenge, but Hazard up again before being

0:35:15 > 0:35:20upended by Shane Duffy. The referee had a clear view of that and feels

0:35:20 > 0:35:26it is worthy of a yellow card. Haz haz was up here before he hit the

0:35:26 > 0:35:32deck, not the second time.

0:35:32 > 0:35:35deck, not the second time. -- Hazard. Willian take it is quickly.

0:35:35 > 0:35:41It hits the post. Rayan got a hand on that. Brighton survive. Willian

0:35:41 > 0:35:47looking to add to his first-half goal here. Good save by Matt Ryan,

0:35:47 > 0:35:52pushing it against the post. Needed to cover plenty of ground to get to

0:35:52 > 0:36:00that one. Both teams hitting the post in the second-half. Stephens.

0:36:00 > 0:36:07Pressure on Rudiger. Stands his ground. Schelotto for Brighton -

0:36:07 > 0:36:14denied. Strained every sinew in pursuit of the ball there. Very

0:36:14 > 0:36:18nearly gained reward. Just watch this as Rudiger's header. Alonso

0:36:18 > 0:36:24waited for it to drop. Schelotto did everything that he could. Unable to

0:36:24 > 0:36:33guide the ball beyond Caballero. Duffy, he gives it away. Forward by

0:36:33 > 0:36:36Willian, collected by Hazard. Batshuayi racing through the middle.

0:36:36 > 0:36:40Chelsea are still going. Hazard here, it's three. If it wasn't

0:36:40 > 0:36:48already, it's all over now and the points are in the bag for Chelsea.

0:36:48 > 0:36:52Hazard kept going and going and then found the bottom corner. His second

0:36:52 > 0:36:58goal of the afternoon. Chelsea's third. Surely, there's no way back

0:36:58 > 0:37:03for Brighton & Hove Albion today. Chelsea heading for their first

0:37:03 > 0:37:10league win of 2018.

0:37:16 > 0:37:21Moses clear inside the penalty area. It's goal number four for Chelsea.

0:37:21 > 0:37:28With less than two minutes remaining of the 90, Victor Moses scores for

0:37:28 > 0:37:33the first time since August and the Community Shield against Arsenal.

0:37:33 > 0:37:37After starting the year with all those drawn fixtures Chelsea in the

0:37:37 > 0:37:43end have run away with this one. Beautifully taken by Victor Moses.

0:37:43 > 0:37:444-0.

0:37:44 > 0:37:51Beautifully taken by Victor Moses. 4-0.We started this game with a lot

0:37:51 > 0:37:57of worries for the injuries, for the suspension. Instead I think the

0:37:57 > 0:38:03response of the team was incredible. It was an important response and I'm

0:38:03 > 0:38:08very happy for this.You had one strong shout for a penalty if not

0:38:08 > 0:38:13two.The second one I didn't see well at the time. The first one I

0:38:13 > 0:38:15did, my first impression was that it was. What you should have is a

0:38:15 > 0:38:19referee that's in a good enough position to see it because it was

0:38:19 > 0:38:22always the potential that that could happen once the goalkeeper came out.

0:38:22 > 0:38:28Of course, alinesman as well that's - if I her remember right - is on

0:38:28 > 0:38:33that side. You need as much as you can.Do you take almost as much

0:38:33 > 0:38:36pleasure from the second goal it was outstanding from start to finish?To

0:38:36 > 0:38:41be fair, when I watched the game after I want to see this kind of

0:38:41 > 0:38:47thing, not just my goals, but when we create chance like this. I'm more

0:38:47 > 0:38:53happy for that, my two goals today. The way we were moving, passing the

0:38:53 > 0:38:57ball and we did well to the finishing. That's why we love

0:38:57 > 0:39:00football. We try to do this every game. Sometimes it happens.

0:39:00 > 0:39:06Sometimes no. Today, we did. So we are just happy.Yeah, lovely touch

0:39:06 > 0:39:10giving his shirt away there. Chris Hughton three at the back. It didn't

0:39:10 > 0:39:14really work defensively, did it?If you hadn't watched the game and

0:39:14 > 0:39:18looked at the scoreline 4-0 you would think it was a battering. It

0:39:18 > 0:39:22wasn't like that. Brighton had chances. Could have had a couple of

0:39:22 > 0:39:26penalties. We will look at them in a minute. The keeper made good saves.

0:39:26 > 0:39:32He changed it to three at the back. It didn't work at all because the

0:39:32 > 0:39:34one and two-touch play from Chelsea at

0:39:34 > 0:39:38one and two-touch play from Chelsea at times was just magnificent.

0:39:38 > 0:39:42Particularly from the front three, as we are going to see here. One

0:39:42 > 0:39:47touch, one touch. They just couldn't get near them. The touches from...

0:39:47 > 0:39:56Spectacular.The finish from Willian was just incredible. They didn't

0:39:56 > 0:40:01know whether to go tight or drop off. Look at the space there the

0:40:01 > 0:40:04three forward players have got. They are difficult to pick up when they

0:40:04 > 0:40:08are in full flow. They didn't go tight to get a tackle on them. When

0:40:08 > 0:40:12you give these guys that amount of space, when they are in this mood,

0:40:12 > 0:40:18they will punish you. Again, once they are into the final third, they

0:40:18 > 0:40:22are just not going to stop them. They couldn't get near them. He

0:40:22 > 0:40:26comes on to his left foot. A decent save. Again early on in the

0:40:26 > 0:40:31second-half. Three centre-halves are all over the place. What is

0:40:31 > 0:40:34impressive about this is the movement of the other two, Batshuayi

0:40:34 > 0:40:37and Willian. Watch them. One goes down the left and one comes down the

0:40:37 > 0:40:41right hand side. What that creates is space in the middle for Hazard to

0:40:41 > 0:40:45run into. Once he's in there, you are not touching him.He's

0:40:45 > 0:40:50ridiculous.A hell of a finish. An incredible player. Time on the ball,

0:40:50 > 0:40:54pick your head up there, you should drop off. Moses gets the run on him.

0:40:54 > 0:40:58Brilliant finish. Again a very good touch. It worked for them going

0:40:58 > 0:41:01forward because they created more chances in the game than they have

0:41:01 > 0:41:05done for a long while. Defensively I thought they were all over the place

0:41:05 > 0:41:10Brighton.4-0 is 4-0. It wasn't a true reflection of the total game.

0:41:10 > 0:41:14It could have been different if one or possibly two of the penalty

0:41:14 > 0:41:20decisiones had gone Brighton's way. What did you think?Caballero make

0:41:20 > 0:41:26as mess. A stupid challenge and a lunge. The referee is in a poor

0:41:26 > 0:41:30position he should be helped out by his assistant. He isn't. It's a

0:41:30 > 0:41:33tough call, I get that. I think that is a penalty. He stretches his leg

0:41:33 > 0:41:38out there, look. He goes for the ball. Schelotto is unaring at pace.

0:41:38 > 0:41:44It he doesn't himself with the arch of a back when it's a bit of a dive.

0:41:44 > 0:41:47It's a penalty just. I don't think this is, it's more of a coming

0:41:47 > 0:41:52together. This time he has a Bert view of it. But the legs just get

0:41:52 > 0:41:56tangled up there. As I said, I don't think that one is a penalty. I think

0:41:56 > 0:42:03he got that one right.If only they had VAR?No, it wouldn't have

0:42:03 > 0:42:06changed anyway. That was his original decision.Exactly.

0:42:06 > 0:42:11Five games still to come.

0:42:11 > 0:42:18The first chance he's had of the match, Mounie. He's gone through

0:42:18 > 0:42:22Gudmundsson too easily.He's shaking off the defender. It's Jamie Vardy

0:42:22 > 0:42:30for Leicester.It's Rondon. It's from distance.

0:42:32 > 0:42:34from distance. Zabaleta trying to find Arnautovic.

0:42:34 > 0:42:37Paul Lambert took charge of Stoke for the first time

0:42:37 > 0:42:38since replacing Mark Hughes.

0:42:38 > 0:42:39Opponents Huddersfield arrived at the bet365 Stadium

0:42:39 > 0:42:41without a win in five.

0:42:41 > 0:42:42Conor McNamara watched this one.

0:42:42 > 0:42:47CONOR MCNAMARA:

0:42:47 > 0:42:521074 days since Paul Lambert's last game in charge of a Premier League

0:42:52 > 0:42:57team. This is his first selection as Stoke boss. Four changes from the

0:42:57 > 0:43:01team that lost 3-0 at Old Trafford on Monday. Ryan Shawcross and

0:43:01 > 0:43:06Pieters both return to the defence. Charlie Adam is restored to the

0:43:06 > 0:43:09midfield with Diouf starting upfront, Peter Crouch is on the

0:43:09 > 0:43:15bench. Wagner makes three changes today. A first start for new signing

0:43:15 > 0:43:20Pritchard,

0:43:22 > 0:43:28Pritchard, Hadergjonaj and Mounie starts upfront.

0:43:30 > 0:43:34starts upfront. Hit the back of Choupo-Moting. He's kept it in play.

0:43:34 > 0:43:38Well many of the Huddersfield Town players stopped there to look at the

0:43:38 > 0:43:45linesman. Diouf gets charged down by Schindler. This is Adam. Charlie

0:43:45 > 0:43:49Adam who is used to having a crack from long-range. This is close to

0:43:49 > 0:43:55the target by his standards. Paul Lambert likes the intent. He wants

0:43:55 > 0:44:07to see more. One minute being added on for topages.

0:44:07 > 0:44:12on for topages. -- stoppages. An important save. After 45 minutes of

0:44:12 > 0:44:15no excitement, Shaqiri gets this chance in stoppage-time at the end

0:44:15 > 0:44:19of the first half.

0:44:22 > 0:44:35Pieters. Adam. Choupo-Moting. Shaqiri screaming for it. Allen.

0:44:35 > 0:44:47Stoke City score their first goal under Paul Lambert.

0:44:47 > 0:44:51Charlie Adam judged that pass to perfection. Choupo-Moting may have

0:44:51 > 0:44:57played it early for Shaqiri, it looked too far in front of Diouf,

0:44:57 > 0:45:00but the options kept coming and Joe Allen, his fourth goal in all

0:45:00 > 0:45:06competitions this season. Paul Lambert will be so pleased, so

0:45:06 > 0:45:14pleased. Look at his face! Absolutely loving it.

0:45:14 > 0:45:20Absolutely loving it. There's no flag. Shaqiri, tried to beat the

0:45:20 > 0:45:27goalkeeper at the near post. Shaqiri, trying to catch the

0:45:27 > 0:45:33goalkeeper out, but needed to hit it better than that. Aaron Mooy giving

0:45:33 > 0:45:38it away to Choupo-Moting. He's got Diouf ahead of him, Shaqiri making a

0:45:38 > 0:45:46good run as well. Shaqiri to Diouf what a brilliant goal. The Paul

0:45:46 > 0:45:57Lambert era is up and running now. Fantastic interplay between Shaqiri

0:45:57 > 0:46:06and Diouf. And it's going to be a long way back for Huddersfield now.

0:46:06 > 0:46:12Choupo-Moting set it in motion and such a delicate touch from Shaqiri.

0:46:12 > 0:46:19It's a fifth goal of the season for man-made youth. -- for Diouf. The

0:46:19 > 0:46:25referee says that the free kick will stop a foul by Bauer. He's really

0:46:25 > 0:46:29unhappy with this decision. He feels he's been fouled as much as the

0:46:29 > 0:46:36other way round. The para -- Van La Parra's armies around him. Better,

0:46:36 > 0:46:46but headed away by Shawcross. Jonathan Hogg, he was never steadied

0:46:46 > 0:46:49over it. Jonathan Hogg, looking for his first goal of this campaign.

0:46:49 > 0:46:55Scored just once last season. Headed by Shawcross, straight to Van La

0:46:55 > 0:47:04Parra. Allen, Crouch, this is Shaqiri, and a lot of grass to run

0:47:04 > 0:47:10into. Allen is up with him. Choupo-Moting... Just couldn't keep

0:47:10 > 0:47:18it down. Choupo-Moting, on another day, might well have smashed that to

0:47:18 > 0:47:26the roof of the net.

0:47:28 > 0:47:33Steve Mounie said so few attempts at goal today, you can see why he'd

0:47:33 > 0:47:36have it cracking from that sort of distance. It would need to be a

0:47:36 > 0:47:43stunning strike from that sort of range. And there we go, the final

0:47:43 > 0:47:50whistle. The feel-good factor returns to the Bet365 Stadium. A win

0:47:50 > 0:47:55for Paul Lambert in his first game of Stoke City manager and a much

0:47:55 > 0:48:00more optimistic outlook on life now for Stoke City. They've beaten

0:48:00 > 0:48:03Huddersfield by 2-0.I thought the performance from start to finish was

0:48:03 > 0:48:08outstanding. We've only coming since last Tuesday, three days training.

0:48:08 > 0:48:12You try to get as much into them as you possibly can without overloading

0:48:12 > 0:48:15their brain, but their effort and drive and commitment, along with the

0:48:15 > 0:48:21support here. I thought we looked really, really good. We shouldn't be

0:48:21 > 0:48:24in the position we are in, we shouldn't, that's the bottom line

0:48:24 > 0:48:28and stop Mark Hughes has done a fabulous job for four years, Tony

0:48:28 > 0:48:32before him and this club is a terrific football club. They realise

0:48:32 > 0:48:35themselves they've been underperforming.Stoke City and

0:48:35 > 0:48:39their supporters were really on it. They were very aggressive. They

0:48:39 > 0:48:44limited our game. We were not able to come into defensive game and at

0:48:44 > 0:48:48the end I think they deserved the result, even if I have to say the

0:48:48 > 0:48:50players gave me everything on the grass, effort, attitude,

0:48:50 > 0:48:55togetherness, everything was there. As players and as a club we don't

0:48:55 > 0:48:58expect to be in this position, especially at this stage of the

0:48:58 > 0:49:03season. We've had many scares in the past but we dragged ourselves out of

0:49:03 > 0:49:06it earlier than we have done this season, so yeah, it's up to us now

0:49:06 > 0:49:13to make sure we don't get complacent again and yeah, I think if we avoid

0:49:13 > 0:49:18that then I'm sure we'll be more than fine.It's over 1000 days since

0:49:18 > 0:49:24you were last manager in the Premier League. How does it feel to be back?

0:49:24 > 0:49:29Over 1000? For heaven's sake. I was enjoying my life last weekend which

0:49:29 > 0:49:33was pretty good and I've come back into this! I wouldn't change it for

0:49:33 > 0:49:38the world.It's a good start, that's for sure. New manager, the bounce is

0:49:38 > 0:49:42very evident. Very evident, they made more sprints today than they

0:49:42 > 0:49:44have all season long and that probably tells you the level of

0:49:44 > 0:49:48intensity that was raised in today's game and that's what happens when a

0:49:48 > 0:49:53new manager arrives. The crowd was raised, everyone was at it, Joe

0:49:53 > 0:49:58Allen in particular along with Shaqiri, I thought, were two top

0:49:58 > 0:50:01performers, not only today by the way. I think these two players were

0:50:01 > 0:50:04two players but I thought could probably hold their heads high when

0:50:04 > 0:50:08they played in the Mark Hughes as well. I don't feel like they raise

0:50:08 > 0:50:12their game in particular just for today. Very fortunate Shaqiri not to

0:50:12 > 0:50:15get that one over the goalkeeper, but this is the goal from Joe Allen.

0:50:15 > 0:50:21He laid it off. You can see him at the top of the screen, drifting into

0:50:21 > 0:50:24position keeping an eye on the play. Look where he makes his run from,

0:50:24 > 0:50:31bursting from the halfway line to get himself

0:50:33 > 0:50:35get himself into a goal-scoring position. That's what we're talking

0:50:35 > 0:50:37about, sprints and intensity. Another example here on the front

0:50:37 > 0:50:39foot, winning the ball, a little nutmeg, there is Shaqiri, breaking

0:50:39 > 0:50:43forward, the level of quality he brings. Gets his head up, tries to

0:50:43 > 0:50:48pick out Crouch. Doesn't quite happen. Sticks it over the bar, but

0:50:48 > 0:50:55I suppose I think the new manager, the input from the fans today,

0:50:55 > 0:50:58lovely little flick from Shaqiri there, but all of that came together

0:50:58 > 0:51:02at the right moment for them and it was a massive three points and a

0:51:02 > 0:51:06clean sheet, the first since October.Bad timing for Huddersfield

0:51:06 > 0:51:13to be playing Stoke but they are falling gradually...It's a tough

0:51:13 > 0:51:16time, they don't score enough goals, they're in the relegation battle.

0:51:16 > 0:51:20The next two games are Liverpool and Man United.Tough.

0:51:20 > 0:51:22Sean Dyche celebrated his 100th Premier League game in charge

0:51:22 > 0:51:25of Burnley by welcoming Manchester United to Turf Moor.

0:51:25 > 0:51:27Jose Mourinho's men kicked off in second after beating

0:51:27 > 0:51:32Stoke on Monday night.

0:51:32 > 0:51:36COMMENTATOR: Stoke have taken six points off

0:51:36 > 0:51:40Manchester United since his appointment.He'll be hoping they

0:51:40 > 0:51:47raise their game tonight.Hits it into the back of the net. Here's

0:51:47 > 0:51:51Pogba, just on the edge, look at the space for Martial. 2-0 to Manchester

0:51:51 > 0:52:00United. Lays it off to Martial. Now into the box, might have been a hand

0:52:00 > 0:52:04ball from Lukaku. Lukaku shoots, Lukaku scores and its 3-0 to

0:52:04 > 0:52:06Manchester United.

0:52:06 > 0:52:08Jonathan Pearce watched this one.

0:52:08 > 0:52:13JONATHAN PEARCE:

0:52:13 > 0:52:16Steven Defour was the last man to score against Manchester United on

0:52:16 > 0:52:24Boxing Day.Aaron Lennon's move to Newcastle hasn't been completed in

0:52:24 > 0:52:27time. Sanchez should make his Manchester United debut at Yeovil in

0:52:27 > 0:52:35the cup on Friday. Arrival for Jesse Lingard, Ashley long back from

0:52:35 > 0:52:40suspension replaces Luke Shaw in their only change. A clean sheets

0:52:40 > 0:52:45for Manchester United in the last nine games at Burnley, going into

0:52:45 > 0:52:53the box. Pogba, with an imprudent flick over. United's first chance of

0:52:53 > 0:52:57the game, putting behind, couldn't finish. Mission impossible for Jose

0:52:57 > 0:53:01Mourinho to chase down Manchester City at the top? A couple of decades

0:53:01 > 0:53:10ago he managed to do it, chasing down Newcastle to earn the title.

0:53:10 > 0:53:20Taylor with the cross. Hit by Hendrick. Movement in the final

0:53:20 > 0:53:27moment.

0:53:27 > 0:53:33An emotional day for Manchester United, especially for that man I

0:53:33 > 0:53:41guess, today makes 24 years ago since... Passed away. Lingard,

0:53:41 > 0:53:49chased by Bardsley.

0:53:50 > 0:53:55It's gone through too easily. Came very, very close will stop

0:53:55 > 0:54:00Manchester United's best moment of the half. Back in the side, a man on

0:54:00 > 0:54:06a mission. Put it in the box to easily from a Burnley point of view.

0:54:14 > 0:54:21Lukaku won that's fair and square. There was hesitancy and Lukaku now

0:54:21 > 0:54:27onto it again. A fine ball to Martial, his best chance of the game

0:54:27 > 0:54:32so far. United lead.

0:54:33 > 0:54:38so far. United lead. Eight minutes into the second half, Burnley nil,

0:54:38 > 0:54:40Manchester United one. Anthony Martial, one of the players

0:54:40 > 0:54:45threatened by the imminent arrival of Alexis Sanchez, scores a goal.

0:54:45 > 0:54:49Lukaku was simply too strong. Then there was hesitancy between Cook and

0:54:49 > 0:54:56Tarkowski. They were lopsided. Martial finished very, very well

0:54:56 > 0:55:05indeed. They score with their first shot on target. Here's Mee.

0:55:05 > 0:55:11shot on target. Here's Mee. Here's Barnes, Hendrick.

0:55:11 > 0:55:13Barnes, Hendrick. Barnes has done very well and he's drawn another

0:55:13 > 0:55:18foul. Throughout the game he's nagged away at the Manchester United

0:55:18 > 0:55:22defenders and he's drawn them into city map -- he's drawn into silly

0:55:22 > 0:55:27challenges they don't have to make. Doesn't need to make that tackle.

0:55:27 > 0:55:32Will it be Steven Defour? You scored that wonderful goal at Old Trafford

0:55:32 > 0:55:38on Boxing Day. He'll do brilliantly if he can score from here. He

0:55:38 > 0:55:42doesn't go for it, yes, he does and he hits the bar. A worthy effort.

0:55:42 > 0:55:58Really good go at goal. From Berg Gudmundsson. The keeper was beaten.

0:55:58 > 0:56:07Here's Bardsley, then Mee. Causing problems in the air. It was looping

0:56:07 > 0:56:16and looping. Gudmundsson for Burnley. It's come off Jones. Ben

0:56:16 > 0:56:25Mee back across goal, Lukaku clears. As does Young.

0:56:27 > 0:56:34As does Young. Lukaku has won it back and has done well. Tarkowski

0:56:34 > 0:56:38couldn't get the touch. So close for Burnley but not enough. Jack Cork

0:56:38 > 0:56:49does brilliantly here. Awareness from Barnes. It deflected, just a

0:56:49 > 0:56:52deflection that took it out of the path of Tarkowski. That's why

0:56:52 > 0:56:59Burnley are complaining. They think it should be their ball.

0:57:01 > 0:57:04it should be their ball. Gudmundsson is coming to the left. Good

0:57:04 > 0:57:14defending. Manchester United hold on, three vital points. Neutrals in

0:57:14 > 0:57:17the ground will feel Burnley deserve a point, six minutes to go.

0:57:17 > 0:57:26Gudmundsson with the corner kick. Crept into the gap behind the free

0:57:26 > 0:57:30kick, it's already been given, I think. A push on Fellaini. The

0:57:30 > 0:57:38challenge was tripped by Tarkowski coming behind him. Vokes comes a

0:57:38 > 0:57:43long way.

0:57:44 > 0:57:50long way. Manchester United play to Martial. To run against Bardsley.

0:57:50 > 0:57:59Martial, parried by Pope. Bardsley just dug out the clearance. Keep the

0:57:59 > 0:58:03score 1-0. Martial the goal-scorer, denied a second. Manchester United

0:58:03 > 0:58:07have had to work really hard for this. They haven't been at their

0:58:07 > 0:58:12best. Many people will think Burnley deserved a point.This is a stadium

0:58:12 > 0:58:18where it's not just a stadium. The opponents, even when they go to your

0:58:18 > 0:58:21house, the way they play, they are brave. They are physical, they are

0:58:21 > 0:58:26very consistent in their approach and it's really difficult.You

0:58:26 > 0:58:31believed until the end. You hit the crossbar. There was a real siege on

0:58:31 > 0:58:35the United goal.I'm pleased with that, Tarkowski is a yard from

0:58:35 > 0:58:39getting something for us and I think there's a shout for a penalty, I've

0:58:39 > 0:58:44seen it back in the box with Tarkowski getting pushed over and

0:58:44 > 0:58:48Vokes getting his shirt off him. Overall, really pleased with the

0:58:48 > 0:58:52performance.We've seen teams come all season and drop points and

0:58:52 > 0:58:56struggle, even the top teams, so we needed to bide our time today and

0:58:56 > 0:58:59when we got the chance we needed to take it. Thankfully Martial took it

0:58:59 > 0:59:04and it's a good three points.11 goals for Martial, three and is

0:59:04 > 0:59:09asked four, how pleased are you with his performance?We're happy, we

0:59:09 > 0:59:14want consistency from him because the talent we know he has.He

0:59:14 > 0:59:17certainly has lots of talent. Burnley really pushed United all the

0:59:17 > 0:59:21way, but they ground out a result and that's what you've got to do.

0:59:21 > 0:59:25The one thing you know when you play Burnley, home or away, you will be

0:59:25 > 0:59:29in for a hell of a game and they gave United a tough game today, but

0:59:29 > 0:59:35there was one piece of quality from Martial that proved to be decisive.

0:59:35 > 0:59:39They get into so many good positions, Manchester United. It

0:59:39 > 0:59:42cost them more last season and this season and this is the moment of the

0:59:42 > 0:59:46game. Brilliant from Lukaku, strength to bring him there, good

0:59:46 > 0:59:51touch, a touch again, the keeper has no chance. I was saying it cost them

0:59:51 > 0:59:55last season, getting into good positions and not finishing teams

0:59:55 > 0:59:58off and its cost them a couple of points this year. That's why they

0:59:58 > 1:00:01are bringing in Sanchez. What's the matter with rolling that there? It's

1:00:01 > 1:00:07a simple pass. It's a good position, Martial again, pick your head up,

1:00:07 > 1:00:16pick the simple past, there, into Lingard or Mata. But again it's a

1:00:16 > 1:00:18poor ball. This time it's Pogba's term. Why can't he slot Lukaku win

1:00:18 > 1:00:22there? As I said, these are all very, very good positions that they

1:00:22 > 1:00:27are in to try to kill teams off. This is the worst one from Pogba.

1:00:27 > 1:00:31Does the hard work, look to your left or right and slot either in and

1:00:31 > 1:00:35kill the game off and finish them. That's one of the reasons they are

1:00:35 > 1:00:39looking to get Sanchez and, to add more quality in the final third.

1:00:39 > 1:00:43Good business for both clubs?It's good business for both clubs because

1:00:43 > 1:00:47Arsenal are getting rid of a player who doesn't want to be there, but

1:00:47 > 1:00:51they are getting a player that is based in relief it at Man United but

1:00:51 > 1:00:57he's better than what he has shown that United.Word using he will play

1:00:57 > 1:00:59him, Sanchez?It's horrible to say it because with England going to

1:00:59 > 1:01:03World Cups you want your players to be playing. I see him playing ahead

1:01:03 > 1:01:08of Lingard and Mata, when he's at his best.

1:01:08 > 1:01:12Just the one game on Match of the Day 2 this week.

1:01:12 > 1:01:17COMMENTATOR: Southampton take the Leah. Alli. Great goal. He has been

1:01:17 > 1:01:29waiting for that Shane Long. Spurs go marching on.

1:02:09 > 1:02:12Excellent idea.

1:02:12 > 1:02:14No team's picked up fewer points in their last

1:02:14 > 1:02:15ten games than Watford.

1:02:15 > 1:02:17Marco Silva's side were in action at Leicester, who'd won just

1:02:17 > 1:02:18once in the last six.

1:02:18 > 1:02:19once in the last six.

1:02:19 > 1:02:21John Motson was at the King Power Stadium.

1:02:21 > 1:02:22JOHN MOTSON:

1:02:22 > 1:02:28Mahrez has scored in his last four games against Watford and Leicester

1:02:28 > 1:02:33boss says he could be worth £100 million by the summer. Leicester are

1:02:33 > 1:02:37unchanged from the team that deservedly drew at Chelsea last

1:02:37 > 1:02:48week. Simpson and Huhth are close to fitness. Watford have 10 squad

1:02:48 > 1:02:54players sick or injured including their goalkeeper Gomes which gives a

1:02:54 > 1:03:00first start to Karnezis. Troy Deeney has yet to score an out field goal

1:03:00 > 1:03:07in the Premier League this season. Deeney's header. Okazaki for

1:03:07 > 1:03:16Leicester. Down the middle goes Vardy. He's shaken off the defender.

1:03:16 > 1:03:19Jamie Vardy for Leicester. Saved by the incoming goalkeeper. An

1:03:19 > 1:03:28important one too. He was taken out by Vardy there. It was a clear-cut

1:03:28 > 1:03:36chance for the England striker.

1:03:36 > 1:03:45It's a free-kick to Leicester City. Mahrez is over that side. Mahrez

1:03:45 > 1:03:53takes. Oh, there was a chance there. There may still be. It was Harry

1:03:53 > 1:03:59Maguire at the far-post who might well have got to that. It came from

1:03:59 > 1:04:04the Mahrez free-kick. Marco Silva must be aware that Watford's away

1:04:04 > 1:04:12form, which started so well this season, has fallen away since he had

1:04:12 > 1:04:19that skirmish with Everton. They have only one of their last eight

1:04:19 > 1:04:28away from home, Watford. Richarlison, outside Zeegelaar.

1:04:28 > 1:04:31Richarlison, outside Zeegelaar. Oh, it's nearly there for Deeney.

1:04:31 > 1:04:35Zeegelaar, again. The header back by Pereyra. Watford are going close

1:04:35 > 1:04:48here. Doucoure. Watford were having their moments there. When it all

1:04:48 > 1:04:52finished up, Doucoure, the top-scorer for Watford this season,

1:04:52 > 1:04:55from midfield, albeit with seven, he had the shot here which Schmeichel

1:04:55 > 1:05:05was equal to. Touched on by Doucoure. The header through...

1:05:05 > 1:05:09Offside, offside, Deeney's goal will not stand. Well, I tell you what,

1:05:09 > 1:05:18had that been on Wednesday, it might have led to a referral to the VAR.

1:05:18 > 1:05:21He doesn't need to be reminded about that. Nor do any of us, for that

1:05:21 > 1:05:28matter. Mahrez. Vardy. Okazaki couldn't make it, Vardy might now.

1:05:28 > 1:05:35Oh, now then, he's flagging on this side. The assistant referee, he's

1:05:35 > 1:05:41clearly indicating that it's a penalty. Jamie Vardy. Well, had

1:05:41 > 1:05:46Vardy lost control of the ball and did that matter because there's

1:05:46 > 1:05:50definitely contact? It's a penalty to Leicester. Jamie Vardy will take

1:05:50 > 1:05:57it.

1:05:57 > 1:06:05it. Oh, perfect, right in the bottom corner. Jamie Vardy won the penalty

1:06:05 > 1:06:13and scored from it. Goalkeeper, no chance. Watford one down.

1:06:15 > 1:06:21Maguire. Taking the chance to come forward. All bright to Chilwell.

1:06:21 > 1:06:28Vardy makes his run now. He's onside. Okazaki's waiting. Couldn't

1:06:28 > 1:06:35steer it far enough away from the goalkeeper. Vardy involved. Okazaki

1:06:35 > 1:06:42just couldn't clear the goalkeeper. The second goal, Leicester have been

1:06:42 > 1:06:46threatening for most of the second-half. They haven't got it.

1:06:46 > 1:06:53You must feel that this game is still in the balance. It might be

1:06:53 > 1:06:59now. Here's Grey. Maguire and Schmeichel between them I think the

1:06:59 > 1:07:03goalkeeper will thank the defender there. Harpy Maguire did really

1:07:03 > 1:07:10well. Andre Gray was favourite there to make it 1-1. I think Maguire got

1:07:10 > 1:07:17a foot in front of the goalkeeper's hand. Watford trying to work their

1:07:17 > 1:07:23way out. Gray halts that. Now it's Albrighton. There go Mahrez. Was

1:07:23 > 1:07:32that handball? No. And Deeney! Well saved by Karnezis. Had to go to his

1:07:32 > 1:07:37left there.

1:07:37 > 1:07:42left there. That was Silva, but it's Okaka now for Watford. Can they

1:07:42 > 1:07:47squeeze away here with Richarlison. All three strikers in the middle.

1:07:47 > 1:07:52Dragovic in the way.

1:07:52 > 1:07:58Oh, they are away here, Leicester. They lost it. This is Silva. It's

1:07:58 > 1:08:06Mahrez. It's still Mahrez. Oh, what a finish. Full marks to him for

1:08:06 > 1:08:11keeping on his feet. He could have gone down there and look for another

1:08:11 > 1:08:16penalty, but a player of his quality had enough confidence to go on and

1:08:16 > 1:08:23score. He clipped that into the far corner to make it Leicester 2,

1:08:23 > 1:08:28Watford 0. Good week for Leicester. Cup win here. Three Premier League

1:08:28 > 1:08:32points. Not such a good week for Watford.

1:08:32 > 1:08:37points. Not such a good week for Watford.It was more difficult for

1:08:37 > 1:08:43us against Watford than against Chelsea, for example. Against this

1:08:43 > 1:08:49team, they play on the floor and perhaps it's easier for us. This

1:08:49 > 1:08:57team it was a good challenge today and to win this game is a good

1:08:57 > 1:09:05response for us.Our boys worked really hard.

1:09:06 > 1:09:09really hard. We knew before the match it's very difficult to play.

1:09:09 > 1:09:14We are against a good team with a lot of quality and physical players.

1:09:14 > 1:09:20They worked strong and hard. Balance game. What made the difference the

1:09:20 > 1:09:30chances he had they scored we didn't score.The dynamic do you owe again.

1:09:30 > 1:09:31Will someone shut the window

1:09:31 > 1:09:32score.The dynamic do you owe again. Will someone shut the window

1:09:32 > 1:09:39quickly.They couldn't gone. High line. This guy loves it. Strength,

1:09:39 > 1:09:44power, pace. Should score. It's a decent save. Both of them linking up

1:09:44 > 1:09:49very well together here. Little give and go touch. Again pace to get into

1:09:49 > 1:09:53that position. He draws the defender in. It's a penalty. Going away from

1:09:53 > 1:10:00goal. He cooly slots it into the corner.What I love about Jamie

1:10:00 > 1:10:05Vardy, he is looking to stretch defences and get in behind them.

1:10:05 > 1:10:09Surprised how high Watford played their line. He thrives thrives on

1:10:09 > 1:10:13that. It didn't hit the back of the net. This guy is in sensational form

1:10:13 > 1:10:18am he really is. He picks up the ball, so silky, it's smooth. The

1:10:18 > 1:10:21step overs, how he goes by people and sticks it in the back.

1:10:21 > 1:10:28Phenomenal. It really is. That is five goals in against Watford that

1:10:28 > 1:10:35he's scored in the last five games. Clever.Top, top form again. A big

1:10:35 > 1:10:39part of the reason they have flown up that league.Top of the league,

1:10:39 > 1:10:46Leicester. Top of the other league. Yeah.Watford, a slump?Big slump,

1:10:46 > 1:10:51one win in five. They are finding it tough. They have Stoke the next game

1:10:51 > 1:10:59away. Watford are in 10th. If Stoke beat them they go level on points.

1:10:59 > 1:11:04Tight.At the bottom-of-the-table. It certainly is.

1:11:04 > 1:11:06After beating Brighton to register a first league win in 21 games,

1:11:06 > 1:11:09West Brom were in action at Everton for whom Sam Allardyce

1:11:09 > 1:11:11was celebrating his 1000th game in management.

1:11:11 > 1:11:13Martin Fisher was at Goodison Park, where tributes were paid -

1:11:13 > 1:11:16as they were at every game - to Baggies legend Cyrille Regis,

1:11:16 > 1:11:20who passed away this week at the age of just 59.

1:11:20 > 1:11:23MARTIN FISHER:

1:11:23 > 1:11:27Cyrille Regis helped to change the face of British football. A pioneer

1:11:27 > 1:11:31who paved the way for others to follow in his footsteps when racism

1:11:31 > 1:11:35was rife on the terraces he helped to break down barriers. In seven

1:11:35 > 1:11:41years at Albion he scored 112 goals in 297 appearances. A legend at The

1:11:41 > 1:11:45Hawthorns. A hero and a role model to thousands up-and-down the

1:11:45 > 1:11:50country.

1:11:50 > 1:11:54country. Pastures new for Theo Walcott after a decade at Arsenal he

1:11:54 > 1:12:00makes his Everton debut following his £20 million transfer this week.

1:12:00 > 1:12:03Just six substitute appearances and 63 minutes playing time in the

1:12:03 > 1:12:06Premier League for The Gunners this season. Wayne Rooney drops to the

1:12:06 > 1:12:11bench to make way in one of four changes. Unsurprisingly, West

1:12:11 > 1:12:15Bromwich Albion sticks to the side that finally rediscovered their

1:12:15 > 1:12:22winning formula a week ago. Big Cyrille's number 9 jersey won by

1:12:22 > 1:12:28Rondon these days. He got the winner here two years ago. A strong

1:12:28 > 1:12:33challenge Byron don to get the bet are of Schneiderlin. Gibbs for

1:12:33 > 1:12:40Albion. Good ball for Phillips. Here is the Polish international. Well,

1:12:40 > 1:12:45he couldn't keep it down. It was a glorious opportunity for him to get

1:12:45 > 1:12:51his first ever goal in England. Alan Pardew will be very disappointed he

1:12:51 > 1:12:58couldn't force a save at least out of Jordan Pickford here. Away by

1:12:58 > 1:13:06Evans. Rondon. Lovely control. A lovely pass as well. They found

1:13:06 > 1:13:17Rodriguez. Flag stays down. Rodriguez scores.

1:13:17 > 1:13:20Rodriguez scores. Wonderful finish by Rodriguez. What a lovely move

1:13:20 > 1:13:26from the visitors. It started with this fabulous control Byron don.

1:13:26 > 1:13:34Then the linkup pass to Krysiak. Krooi -- Krychowiak. They kept their

1:13:34 > 1:13:42mind on what was coming up. That was keeping his head. Albion take the

1:13:42 > 1:13:54lead. The problems mount for Everton. Williams.

1:13:55 > 1:13:59Rondon chasing. Holgate the last defender. Rondon needs support here.

1:13:59 > 1:14:03Arrives in the shape of Brunt. Two waiting in the middle. A dangerous

1:14:03 > 1:14:08ball in from Brunt. Rodriguez wasn't far away from getting a touch. It

1:14:08 > 1:14:16wasn't far away from curling in to the back post. He walls hoping that

1:14:16 > 1:14:21his team would make his 1,000th game as a manager memorable. No sign of

1:14:21 > 1:14:28it so far today.

1:14:30 > 1:14:36The noise from the Albion fans down beneath me of "one Cyrille Regis."

1:14:36 > 1:14:45He would approve of what Albion have produced so far today.

1:14:45 > 1:14:46produced so far today. McCarthy looking for Schneiderlin. Good

1:14:46 > 1:14:51challenge that might run through for Rondon here. Was he fouled? No he

1:14:51 > 1:14:56was tackled superbly by McCarthy. McCarthy has injured himself in the

1:14:56 > 1:15:02process. Rondon leads the shouts for the referee to draw attention to the

1:15:02 > 1:15:07stricken figure of James McCarthy. Rondon saw what happened and look at

1:15:07 > 1:15:14what it's done to him.

1:15:14 > 1:15:16what it's done to him. Emotional response. This looks really serious.

1:15:16 > 1:15:24That's all we need to see of that, thank

1:15:24 > 1:15:29Seamus Coleman has seen this kind of thing himself, of course, the victim

1:15:29 > 1:15:33of a nasty double leg break last year, and looks as though Coleman is

1:15:33 > 1:15:40going to raise down to the dressing room.

1:15:40 > 1:15:45room. It's an absolute accident. McCarthy doing a job for his team to

1:15:45 > 1:15:50prevent them going perhaps two down. He sustained a very nasty injury in

1:15:50 > 1:15:58the process. Schneiderlin, for Kenny. Everton have three in the

1:15:58 > 1:16:09box. Dawson nods away. Out as far as policy. -- Bolasie. Rooney, towards

1:16:09 > 1:16:15Wolcott. And it's in by Niasse. Quite possibly his first touch. What

1:16:15 > 1:16:19an impact from the Senegalese substitute will stop not a bad

1:16:19 > 1:16:28impact from Wolcott, either. Rooney's cross picking out Walcott,

1:16:28 > 1:16:35who got in behind Brunt, nudges it in and Niasse is there ahead of

1:16:35 > 1:16:40Hegazy. No chance for the goalkeeper. Everton have been so

1:16:40 > 1:16:45ordinary all afternoon. Draw level. It's the substitute, Niasse, with

1:16:45 > 1:16:49his first goal since November, who has found the back of the

1:16:49 > 1:16:55opposition's net.

1:16:55 > 1:16:58opposition's net. Rondon, Pickford at full stretch. Another good save

1:16:58 > 1:17:06from the Everton goalkeeper. Backing why McLean from -- backing by

1:17:06 > 1:17:10McClean. Phillips couldn't make it and Rooney will bring it away with

1:17:10 > 1:17:22the help of Bolasie. Beat himself. Rondon waits in the centre. There he

1:17:22 > 1:17:27is, flashing header, flashes just wide. There are chances now coming

1:17:27 > 1:17:32at both ends of the pitch. The better ones for West Bromwich Albion

1:17:32 > 1:17:42right now. That was sloppy from Kenny. And Rondon testing Pickford.

1:17:42 > 1:17:54Not once. Unable to do so the second time.

1:17:54 > 1:18:00Rooney has lost it. It's Rondon. It's from distance. It's against the

1:18:00 > 1:18:04bar, with Pickford beaten. Well, if anybody deserves a gold about

1:18:04 > 1:18:09Salomon Rondon. The woodwork denies him. -- if anyone deserves a goal

1:18:09 > 1:18:17today, it Salomon Rondon. He's been magnificent today. It's the bar that

1:18:17 > 1:18:19prevents West Bromwich Albion going home with their second successive

1:18:19 > 1:18:24Premier League win.I think Salomon Rondon's one was in at the end and I

1:18:24 > 1:18:29think that would have been fair on us, if we'd have won, but it's OK.

1:18:29 > 1:18:32The momentum is still with us, we go to the next game.The players know

1:18:32 > 1:18:37they didn't perform today. The players are well off where of the

1:18:37 > 1:18:42lack of performance today, so at least this is a positive results --

1:18:42 > 1:18:46the players are well aware of their lack of performers today.We take

1:18:46 > 1:18:51our game to the teams we're playing against, that's the main thing and

1:18:51 > 1:18:54to come away at Everton and be disappointed not to get three points

1:18:54 > 1:18:59is a big step in itself.Salomon Rondon was terrific all day today.

1:18:59 > 1:19:02He was involved in a nasty incident with James McCarthy, distressing to

1:19:02 > 1:19:08see him so upset afterwards. Correct. I see his reaction

1:19:08 > 1:19:11straightaway. He must have heard something. It is that sort of boy.

1:19:11 > 1:19:19He's a caring kid and you know, our feelings go with James and a speedy

1:19:19 > 1:19:24recovery for him.Yeah, we certainly join everyone at Match of the Day,

1:19:24 > 1:19:29James McCarthy, we wish him a speedy recovery. A double fracture of the

1:19:29 > 1:19:33leg has been confirmed and hopefully he will be back playing soon.

1:19:33 > 1:19:39Salomon Rondon treated after the game saying, absolutely devastated.

1:19:39 > 1:19:42Rivalries are forgotten about when a colleague suffered such an unlucky

1:19:42 > 1:19:47injury. Really hope to see him playing again soon. We saw how upset

1:19:47 > 1:19:52Salomon Rondon was after that, but he was also actually the star

1:19:52 > 1:19:58performer in the game, wasn't it?I thought the game lacked a lot of

1:19:58 > 1:20:01quality, Gary, but within that I thought Rondon was a star performer.

1:20:01 > 1:20:07We've seen him hold up the ball in the lead up to the goal, lovely ball

1:20:07 > 1:20:12from Krychowiak, into the striker who puts it into the back of the

1:20:12 > 1:20:14net, but it was those types of things there, sprinting, the

1:20:14 > 1:20:19determination from Rondon, that really stood out for me. At the top

1:20:19 > 1:20:23end of the pitch he was a form really in Everton's side. With him

1:20:23 > 1:20:27and Rodriguez at the top end of the pitch they can cause problems. He

1:20:27 > 1:20:31had a little fight here towards this end of the second half which

1:20:31 > 1:20:35Pickford parried away. He was holding up the ball very well. I

1:20:35 > 1:20:40thought they struggled with him from strength point of view he rolls

1:20:40 > 1:20:44Williams easily, gets it out wide and does what striker should do, get

1:20:44 > 1:20:48on the box, get on the end of things. The delivery is great. The

1:20:48 > 1:20:50more he does that the more opportunities you will create for

1:20:50 > 1:20:55himself and the newly capped off a very good display with a number

1:20:55 > 1:21:00lethal strike. That really deserved to hit the back of the net, given

1:21:00 > 1:21:04what I thought was not only an emotional afternoon for Rondon but

1:21:04 > 1:21:06also he played very well.He was totally blameless, one of those

1:21:06 > 1:21:10things, it really was. Everton are looking a bit like the Everton of

1:21:10 > 1:21:15the start of the season.Yeah, now winless in six and some said it all

1:21:15 > 1:21:18today, they were terrible, they were really awful, so getting a point

1:21:18 > 1:21:22when you play that poorly is not such a bad thing.No Premier League

1:21:22 > 1:21:28fixture that's been played at least five times has averaged more goals

1:21:28 > 1:21:31than West Ham against Bournemouth.

1:21:31 > 1:21:324.6 per game to be precise.

1:21:32 > 1:21:36The fact that it's last suggests it didn't quite live up to its billing.

1:21:36 > 1:21:37Steve Bower was at the London Stadium.

1:21:37 > 1:21:40STEVE BOWER:

1:21:40 > 1:21:50David Moyes' side has scored in many matches, 15 points in the last 24.

1:21:50 > 1:21:54Arnautovic has six goals in his last seven Premier League games. He's in

1:21:54 > 1:21:58an unchanged the Hammers line-up. Same for Bournemouth as well, Callum

1:21:58 > 1:22:02Wilson's third goal in four games help them overcome Arsenal last

1:22:02 > 1:22:06weekend. The top scorer looks to add to his 17 goals in 35 Premier League

1:22:06 > 1:22:17starts. Consistent downpour of rain prior to kick-off. Lanzini.

1:22:17 > 1:22:21Confidence and belief in the West Ham players, lovely football.

1:22:21 > 1:22:31Kouyate. You have to go back to April 2016 for Aaron Cresswell's

1:22:31 > 1:22:34last goal and in these kind of conditions it's certainly worth a

1:22:34 > 1:22:46try. Long strides, being chased by Gosling. Zabaleta tried to find

1:22:46 > 1:22:52Arnautovic. The form he's in, he'll be disappointed that isn't in the

1:22:52 > 1:22:56back of the net. Beautiful delivery from Zabaleta. A little touch was an

1:22:56 > 1:23:02important one from Begovic. He got its first ever league win the

1:23:02 > 1:23:04manager against Bournemouth, that was with Preston in the old Division

1:23:04 > 1:23:142, back in February 19 98. Ryan Fraser for Bournemouth. He was

1:23:14 > 1:23:20certainly fouled, James Collins is the recipient of the first yellow

1:23:20 > 1:23:25card of the day. Rather unceremonious from the Welsh

1:23:25 > 1:23:30international -- former Welsh international. Fraser to deliver.

1:23:30 > 1:23:38Cresswell. Lewis Cook, trying to wriggle free. It's come to Jordon

1:23:38 > 1:23:54Ibe. The second Bournemouth corner of the game. Short from Fraser. It's

1:23:54 > 1:24:01well worked, it's Lewis Cook. The training ground move almost came off

1:24:01 > 1:24:05for Bournemouth and Lewis Cook almost had his first Premier League

1:24:05 > 1:24:14goal. Beautifully worked and almost brilliantly finished.

1:24:14 > 1:24:16brilliantly finished. Noble, the ball over the top to Arnautovic,

1:24:16 > 1:24:26watched by Steve Cook. Lanzini is onto it. Arnautovic, and Steve Cook

1:24:26 > 1:24:33got them out of trouble there. It's a West Ham corner. Bournemouth have

1:24:33 > 1:24:36conceded nine headed goals so far this season. Can West Ham exploit

1:24:36 > 1:24:44that area again? Well headed clear by Steve Cook. Cresswell to find

1:24:44 > 1:24:55Lanzini. The ball has to be better than that. That's useful. Can

1:24:55 > 1:25:05Lanzini get this across? Just too strong. Noble. Daniels' West Ham

1:25:05 > 1:25:13throw. In from Zabaleta, Collins close to it, so to Lanzini. Begovic

1:25:13 > 1:25:18with the intervention. There was no flag and Zabaleta with a teasing

1:25:18 > 1:25:23delivery. Lanzini at full stretch. Bournemouth supporters have seemed

1:25:23 > 1:25:30just two away wins so far this season, at Newcastle and Stoke.

1:25:30 > 1:25:35Steve Cook, into Stanislas. The goalkeeper backpedals and Ryan

1:25:35 > 1:25:41Fraser made the most of it. His fourth goal in eight games and

1:25:41 > 1:25:45Bournemouth are in front from nowhere. Stanislas had space,

1:25:45 > 1:25:51beautifully weighted pass. Adrian was caught in no man's land. He made

1:25:51 > 1:25:56the decision to come and then stopped and went back, and the

1:25:56 > 1:26:00Scotsman fired it past him. It's his fifth goal of the season and it's

1:26:00 > 1:26:07West Ham nil, Bournemouth one. Only Arsenal have prevented West Ham

1:26:07 > 1:26:11scoring in the last nine Premier League games. Here's Arnautovic. And

1:26:11 > 1:26:23follow-up is in. Javier Hernandez, the substitute with the equaliser,

1:26:23 > 1:26:30right from the kick-off. One minute, five seconds after conceding, West

1:26:30 > 1:26:35Ham are back on terms. The shot from Arnautovic was blocked by Francis

1:26:35 > 1:26:40and Javier Hernandez was the first and the fastest to react to put it

1:26:40 > 1:26:48past Begovic. Well, the fixture that always promises goals has taken its

1:26:48 > 1:26:57time, but two in 65 seconds have got is off and running. Stanislas. Can

1:26:57 > 1:27:03still get the shot in. Denied against his former club by Adrian.

1:27:03 > 1:27:06Well, he provided the first goal and is trying to score the second tier.

1:27:06 > 1:27:11Good height for Adrian. He made the save all the same.I thought we

1:27:11 > 1:27:14probably played some of our best football since we've been here at

1:27:14 > 1:27:18periods in the first half. Today, we missed that clinical cutting edge to

1:27:18 > 1:27:24probably show how good our football has been. There was some terrific

1:27:24 > 1:27:29play.Is that a manager's nightmare to the your team concede

1:27:29 > 1:27:34straightaway? When to say we switched off, it's two headers we

1:27:34 > 1:27:38have won and he tucks it away well but it's usually frustrated because

1:27:38 > 1:27:42we hadn't -- we didn't have a chance to build on that goal or use it to

1:27:42 > 1:27:48our advantage. You've lost Lanzini at Cresswell, what's the news there?

1:27:48 > 1:27:51Lanzini has a hamstring, Cresswell has cramp. We are short on the

1:27:51 > 1:27:56bench. We have a lot of injuries. Any light at the end of the tunnel

1:27:56 > 1:28:07about a body or two coming in?We

1:28:09 > 1:28:12could do with a body or two coming in, we're working on it, trying to

1:28:12 > 1:28:15get the right players and people we think can help so hopefully we might

1:28:15 > 1:28:19have some light at the end of the window.Eddie Howe becomes the third

1:28:19 > 1:28:20youngest English manager to reach 100 Premier League appearances,

1:28:20 > 1:28:22impressive. He also did your analysis for you. Bournemouth lead,

1:28:22 > 1:28:24ten seconds later its level again. Kicking themselves, ten or 11

1:28:24 > 1:28:29seconds later, they do the hard work, long ball, lose the first

1:28:29 > 1:28:33header, lose the second header and then Chicharito finds himself free

1:28:33 > 1:28:38in the box. Ten or 11 seconds, it's back to 1-1 and it was probably a

1:28:38 > 1:28:42fair result, a point apiece but Eddie Howe will be going mad because

1:28:42 > 1:28:47they always say concentrate when you have scored.We are out of time.

1:28:47 > 1:28:51Thank you. Let's look at the Premier League table.

1:28:51 > 1:28:53Manchester City are now undefeated in 23 home league games

1:28:53 > 1:28:55and maintain their 12-point lead over Manchester United.

1:28:55 > 1:28:57Chelsea go third, with Liverpool playing Swansea on Monday.

1:28:57 > 1:29:00Paul Lambert's maiden win as Stoke boss lifts his side out

1:29:00 > 1:29:02of the relegation zone at the expense of Southampton,

1:29:02 > 1:29:08who face Spurs on Sunday.

1:29:08 > 1:29:16Let's see what the Sunday papers have to say. Tottenham will resist

1:29:16 > 1:29:25the record it for Harry Kane in the sub of full -- in the summer. Juan

1:29:25 > 1:29:30Mata could be forced out of Old Trafford if Manchester United

1:29:30 > 1:29:34confirmed the signing of Alexis Sanchez, according to the Star.

1:29:34 > 1:29:35That's it.

1:29:35 > 1:29:37We'll leave you with some memories of a true footballing pioneer.

1:29:37 > 1:29:40A giant of a man, on and off the pitch.

1:29:40 > 1:29:43Rest in peace, Cyrille Regis.

1:29:44 > 1:29:55Here's Regis.Here's Regis, surely, yes!Brilliantly finished by Cyrille

1:29:55 > 1:30:00Regis.He's taken it well on the chest, lovely control by Regis. What

1:30:00 > 1:30:05a great shot, oh! Cyrille Regis.
