How about that?

0:00:340:00:35

Just brilliant, just brilliant.

0:00:350:00:36

Oh, that is wonderful.

0:00:360:00:37

An absolute belter.

0:00:370:00:41

What a chance.

0:00:410:00:42

What a goal!

0:00:420:00:43

Blue is the colour of

the Premier League winners.

0:00:430:00:51

Good evening.

0:00:510:00:52

The 52nd and final Saturday of 2017,

that's just one short

0:00:520:00:55

of the record for Saturday's

in # a calendar year.

0:00:550:00:58

Seven games on the way...

0:00:580:01:01

..In the company of Ian

Wright and Alan Shearer,

0:01:010:01:04

obviously, as Harry

Kane's not playing.

0:01:040:01:07

We begin at Stamford Bridge.

0:01:070:01:08

Chelsea were just a point behind

Manchester United, in second,

0:01:080:01:11

ahead of their game against Stoke.

0:01:110:01:12

It's been three years of capital

punishment for the visitors,

0:01:120:01:15

they've not won on their last 16

trips to London.

0:01:150:01:17

Steve Bower was watching.

Steve Bower was watching.

0:01:200:01:24

Chelsea look for a second straight

home win. The challenge for Stoke is

0:01:240:01:28

heightened by their weakened

artillery. Antonio Conte makes three

0:01:280:01:34

changes. Eden Hazard is amongst

those rotated. Pedro, Willian and

0:01:340:01:42

Drinkwater all start. Changes for

Stoke. There is a full Premier

0:01:420:01:48

League debut for Tymon. There is a

recall for Berahino as he hopes to

0:01:480:01:55

end a run of 36 games without a

goal. 12 defeats in the last 19 away

0:01:550:02:02

games in the Premier League for

Stoke. Pedro. Across for a ball to

0:02:020:02:10

pick out Moses.

0:02:100:02:21

An early set play challenge for

Stoke here. In from Willian.

0:02:230:02:29

Ruediger scorers! Stoke lasted less

than three minutes. And he has his

0:02:290:02:41

second Premier League goal and

Chelsea have a simple, simple lead

0:02:410:02:45

and already you fear this could be a

long day for Stoke. The delivery

0:02:450:02:51

from Willian, Ruediger got in

between the two defenders, six yards

0:02:510:02:55

out and he did the rest. No chance

for the goalkeeper. With two

0:02:550:03:06

teenagers in the fullback positions,

that is exactly what Mark Hughes did

0:03:060:03:12

not want. Here is Willian. Thought

about the shot on his left, cut out

0:03:120:03:22

to his right. Blocked by Edwards,

now Pedro. Drinkwater. Brilliant!

0:03:220:03:32

Danny Drinkwater makes it two and we

have not yet played eight and a half

0:03:320:03:38

minutes. That is the fast start that

he wanted. His first Chelsea goal is

0:03:380:03:46

a memorable one. Ricocheted back,

one touch off that by and Butland

0:03:460:03:55

did not move. Precision from

Drinkwater. Disaster for Stoke. It

0:03:550:04:01

is 2-0 to Chelsea. Willian. Morata

is onside and Pedro is waiting for a

0:04:010:04:15

pass. Morata might go alone, but

that is a brilliant save from

0:04:150:04:19

Butland. That looked like it was

going to be the third goal.

0:04:190:04:25

Perfectly timed run. Why would you

expect Chelsea's top scorer to pass

0:04:250:04:30

that? Excellent work by Butland.

They must be thinking damage

0:04:300:04:37

limitation already. Azpilicueta. A

touch behind Willian, he was not

0:04:370:04:50

able to win it back from Fletcher.

The Brazilian once again. Pedro,

0:04:500:04:58

fantastic turn. Another special

gold! That had quality written all

0:04:580:05:04

over it, just past the 23 minute

mark and Chelsea have scored three

0:05:040:05:10

already and that was an absolute

strike from the Spaniard. Watch this

0:05:100:05:14

when he receives it from Willian.

Body shape brilliant, finish even

0:05:140:05:18

better. Inch perfect to beat

Butland. It has been an excellent

0:05:180:05:25

start from Chelsea. 3-0 to Chelsea.

Surely they are not heading north,

0:05:250:05:33

it might just be a toilet break or a

beverage one. Chance for Diouf. The

0:05:330:05:45

flag is up. The referee's assistant

races like straightaway. Diouf,

0:05:450:05:55

denied another goal. I think Cahill

is playing him on there, but the

0:05:550:06:00

flag was raised straightaway, but it

might be for the use of the arm and

0:06:000:06:05

the assistant has interpreted that

rather than the offside. Harsh one.

0:06:050:06:09

Ultimately, it did not count. Stoke

need to make the scoreline look

0:06:090:06:20

easier for them. Cahill, he has not

got there and Berahino, first save

0:06:200:06:28

of the day is made by Courtois. You

need to go back to February, 2016

0:06:280:06:37

for the last goal by Berahino.

Beautifully weighted pass from

0:06:370:06:43

Charlie Adam. Nice height for

Courtois. Morata. Frustrated that he

0:06:430:06:51

has not scored. That is a fabulous

pass if Alonzo can keep it in and he

0:06:510:06:58

can and he gets it back to Pedro.

Almost. Look at this for a ball from

0:06:580:07:05

Drinkwater. Good work from Alonso,

first time for Pedro, but it is

0:07:050:07:13

drifting wide. Now here is Morata.

Real opportunity. Butland has denied

0:07:130:07:27

him again. You have to credit

Butland and air. Morata upbeat

0:07:270:07:33

Wimmer for pays all day. Butland did

not go to ground. The Chelsea top

0:07:330:07:38

scorer could not find a way through.

Willian with a corner. Not dealt

0:07:380:07:43

with. Butland deals with that to

deny Pedro. He has not been

0:07:430:07:51

disappointed, Butland. Batshuayi.

Trying to find Willian. They almost

0:07:510:08:04

turned into traffic. It is a Chelsea

penalty. A little unfortunate for

0:08:040:08:13

Cameron, untidy from the point of

view of Stoke. Clumsy from Geoff

0:08:130:08:17

Cameron. With Eden Hazard among the

substitutes, just a second penalty

0:08:170:08:24

all season for Chelsea, it is

Willian who assumes responsibility.

0:08:240:08:30

Four goals in eight career games

against Stoke and he can add to

0:08:300:08:36

their total. And he does. Write down

the middle. He marked his return to

0:08:360:08:47

the starting line-up with his

seventh goal in all competitions

0:08:470:08:49

this season. Buckley is beaten again

in this match for Chelsea. This can

0:08:490:08:55

be placed well and truly in the

routine one. 4-0. The likes of

0:08:550:09:04

Shaqiri and Allen, with a game

against Newcastle, so crucial in his

0:09:040:09:10

mind, they were never in the running

in this one. They are still in

0:09:100:09:15

desperate need of the full-time

whistle. Drinkwater. Straight to

0:09:150:09:29

Zappacosta. Onto his left. 5-0. It

is the first Premier League goal for

0:09:290:09:40

the substitute, Zappacosta. That

seals and extremely straightforward

0:09:400:09:44

afternoon for the reigning

champions. Timed his defensive

0:09:440:09:50

header straight to the feet of the

Italian. It beat Butland at his near

0:09:500:09:55

post and Stoke have now conceded

five away at Tottenham and five away

0:09:550:10:01

at Chelsea and seven away at

Manchester City. Seven home Premier

0:10:010:10:07

League wins in a row for Antonio

Conte's Chelsea, this is the most

0:10:070:10:12

straightforward of them all. 5-0.

0:10:120:10:15

Conte's Chelsea, this is the most

straightforward of them all. 5-0.

We

0:10:150:10:17

started very well. To score. And

then to score twice, after 50

0:10:170:10:26

minutes. Another clean sheet. I

think there were a lot of positive

0:10:260:10:34

things for us.

We were in difficult

circumstances, playing today with so

0:10:340:10:41

many defensive players missing. We

have to go again on Monday and we

0:10:410:10:45

had to protect a number of players

as well. It was my decision, I take

0:10:450:10:53

responsibility. The feeling is that

now we are in better shape obviously

0:10:530:10:57

for the game on Monday. If we win,

which we intend to, then we have had

0:10:570:11:03

a decent Christmas period.

We are

doing well. The more wins we take on

0:11:030:11:09

the bounce, we cannot do much more

than win games and as long as we

0:11:090:11:16

keep doing that, we will put

pressure on.

You may have some fresh

0:11:160:11:20

legs on Monday but is there a chance

that morale will take a knock?

I

0:11:200:11:25

don't think so. Chelsea played today

and Wednesday. Then we would have

0:11:250:11:31

picked the likes of Choupo-Moting

and Shaqiri. But we were in a

0:11:310:11:36

difficult position. Sometimes you

have to be pragmatic, take your

0:11:360:11:40

medicine and move onto the next one

and focus on map.

Interesting

0:11:400:11:44

viewpoint. We will come to that

controversially weakened Stoke

0:11:440:11:48

sighed. It was a comfortable win for

Chelsea and probably the highlight,

0:11:480:11:55

a couple of cracking goals.

It was a

free hit for Chelsea today. Five

0:11:550:12:00

different goal scorers, Hazard

rested, Fabregas rested, Pedro...

0:12:000:12:08

These were a couple of super goals.

Darren Fletcher does not get out

0:12:080:12:12

quickly enough. Just a superb

strike. You kind of feel for Butland

0:12:120:12:21

but he cannot do anything about some

of the goals going past him. Watch

0:12:210:12:26

the weight Pedro caresses it,

lovely, beautiful. Just gorgeous.

0:12:260:12:31

Watch how he takes it. Oh!

Beautiful. I love him. Worthy of

0:12:310:12:39

those sound effects. It is a big

talking point, Mark Hughes, is it

0:12:390:12:45

justifiable?

He will only be right

in doing that if they win on Monday.

0:12:450:12:55

I understand why he did but they

have to win on Monday. He is under

0:12:550:12:59

pressure, he chose to do that, he

knew the reaction it would get, but

0:12:590:13:04

that puts even more pressure on the

team to beat Newcastle, they have to

0:13:040:13:09

wing now.

One of the players who

came and had the opportunity of a

0:13:090:13:13

start for the first time since

September, Berahino, he it was quite

0:13:130:13:18

tough on him coming into that game.

It is a long time to not score and I

0:13:180:13:23

feel for him. He did a lot of

running around. He did his best,

0:13:230:13:28

held it up well, you see Diouf, he

is on top of him. Trying to get

0:13:280:13:33

something going. The same with

Fletcher. If you are playing up

0:13:330:13:37

front on your own, he is the only

one in the box. This is the one with

0:13:370:13:44

Fletcher. Look at Berahino, he wants

that, put it in there. He has been

0:13:440:13:48

working hard all day. The same here.

This is a great opportunity again

0:13:480:13:54

for him to come and support him. He

has five Chelsea players around him

0:13:540:14:00

and no one is coming to help. I know

he is saying he has to save his team

0:14:000:14:05

for Newcastle but you want to try

and have a go. This is a great

0:14:050:14:10

opportunity for Darren Fletcher, he

has Cahill where he wants him.

0:14:100:14:19

Charlie Adam comes on, great ball.

Opens his body up so much. You can

0:14:190:14:28

see that Courtois is almost lying

down waiting for that. I want him to

0:14:280:14:32

keep going.

That is all you can do.

0:14:320:14:36

Liverpool were unbeaten

in 11 league games ahead

0:14:380:14:40

of kick-off against Leicester,

equalling their best

0:14:400:14:42

run under Jurgen Klopp.

0:14:420:14:43

The last three meetings

between these two teams

0:14:430:14:45

had produced 14 goals.

0:14:450:14:46

This one wasn't bad either.

0:14:460:14:47

Steve Wilson was at Anfield.

0:14:470:14:48

STEVE WILSON:

0:14:480:14:49

It's one in for Liverpool with van

Dijk here today on a watching brief

0:14:490:14:55

before completing a £75 million

deal. Liverpool hoping it won't be

0:14:550:14:59

one out, but Barcelona are certain

to target Philippe Coutinho again

0:14:590:15:03

once the window opens opens. After

seven goals so far in December, you

0:15:030:15:06

can see why. Gray is forging a

reputation for himself at Leicester.

0:15:060:15:13

No wonder Claude Puel gave him a new

contract last month. Puel is the

0:15:130:15:17

only living manager to have taken on

Liverpool more than five times

0:15:170:15:21

without ever losing.

0:15:210:15:27

Here's map tip. Matip. Played in to

Mahrez. Vardy scores for Leicester.

0:15:310:15:41

They are in front after two minutes.

Jamie Vardy scores at the Kop end

0:15:410:15:47

for Leicester City. They help

themselves to another piece of slack

0:15:470:15:52

Liverpool defending. Matip was never

going to reach Can with that. Mahrez

0:15:520:15:58

is level for me. He's beautifully

found. He unselfishly sets up Jamie

0:15:580:16:04

Vardy. Can sold down the river by

the pass. Liverpool sliced open and

0:16:040:16:11

Vardy scores. It's a lot of money,

Liverpool unquestionably need to

0:16:110:16:17

improve defensively. Firmino, Mane.

Salah! Oh, he's put it wide! No-one

0:16:170:16:28

expected him to miss from there. His

first touch, it's absolutely

0:16:280:16:33

brilliant. His second touch should

have been a goal.

0:16:330:16:39

Salah's touch off to Milner. Salah

now, being chased by Maguire. Great

0:16:410:16:50

covering challenge Bihary Maguire.

Salah and Maguire tussle and

0:16:500:16:53

Leicester get the free-kick. Well,

when Milner slidded that through,

0:16:530:16:58

Leicester were in real bother.

Maguire slides it cleanly away from

0:16:580:17:04

Liverpool's top-scorer. Very good

defending. James Milner. He might

0:17:040:17:10

have a go. He's played a clever ball

into Firmino. Milner, not quite.

0:17:100:17:16

Schmeichel was brave, got there

quickly. He did well here Kasper

0:17:160:17:21

Schmeichel. Milner hasn't scored yet

this season. Nearly bounced back to

0:17:210:17:26

him. Schmeichel was quick. Coutinho.

Now Mohamed Salah. That's a really

0:17:260:17:35

good ball. Robertson. Tempting - off

side. The flag is up. It's not going

0:17:350:17:43

to count. Mane offside. The first

reaction is that it must have been

0:17:430:17:49

tight but Andy Garrett was in doubt.

He's absolutely right. Clearly

0:17:490:17:52

offside.

0:17:520:18:02

Here's Emre Can. Mohamed Salah.

Roberto Firmino. Salah. Salah! Oh!

0:18:050:18:18

This looked in. He did really well,

just across the face of goal. This

0:18:180:18:28

is such an intriguing game.

0:18:280:18:31

Well won by Milner, now Firmino.

Firmino, he goes to the heart of the

0:18:330:18:38

defence, trying to catch Schmeichel

out. Oh. What was he doing? Firmino

0:18:380:18:46

just went for the middle of the

defence here, stabbed in the early

0:18:460:18:49

shot. Amartey hitting it back

towards his own-goal. I think it

0:18:490:18:54

took a flick here off Mohamed

Salah's toe. That's spinning to

0:18:540:19:03

Coutinho, his first touch is great.

Maguire cut out the pass intended

0:19:030:19:06

for Salah. Here's Gomez. Oh, that

rippled the top of the Leicester

0:19:060:19:15

City net from Gomez. Good hit for a

fella who has never scored a senior

0:19:150:19:20

goal. Robertson. Robertson. Oh, it's

a goal kick. Amartey was the man

0:19:200:19:35

whose left arm came out and just

touched Andrew Robertson. The ball

0:19:350:19:40

running away from him a little bit.

It would have been extremely harsh.

0:19:400:19:47

Christian Fuchs this throw-in for

Leicester City. That's a decent

0:19:470:19:52

weapon. Karius makes it his. Salah

has let the ball get away from him,

0:19:520:20:00

has he? Won the throw off the ankles

of Maguire.

0:20:000:20:06

Firmino.

0:20:060:20:08

Emre Can managed find Mane. Here's

Mohamed Salah, wriggling through,

0:20:130:20:19

and scoring. Liverpool level.

Seventh minute of the second-half.

0:20:190:20:27

Mohamed Salah, it's a lovely ball in

to him here. Mane's backheel opened

0:20:270:20:32

Leicester up. Salah somehow stayed

on his feet, skipped away from

0:20:320:20:37

Fuchs, rounded Daniel Amartey and

drove it under Kasper Schmeichel.

0:20:370:20:44

Just, has he kept that ball in play?

My goodness, it must be close. Came

0:20:440:20:48

off Maguire for a Liverpool throw

from which the goal came.

0:20:480:21:00

Ndidi, Gray lovely. Vardy stepped

inside Gomez. Blocked my Matip.

0:21:010:21:08

Liverpool break. Coutinho into

Salah. Now Firmino. They are in

0:21:080:21:12

trouble here, Leicester. Here's

Philippe Coutinho. Now it's Mohamed

0:21:120:21:17

Salah! Just too high. Just too high.

Not sure he could have found Mane at

0:21:170:21:25

the top of your screen, who was

looking for a pass from Mohamed

0:21:250:21:28

Salah. He went for the finish,

Salah. After 22 goals this season,

0:21:280:21:33

why not. Coutinho.

0:21:330:21:37

Oh, lovely ball. Offside, Mane.

That's another one ruled out for

0:21:410:21:46

Sadio Mane. The referee's other mate

this time, Scott Ledger with the

0:21:460:21:54

flag up. Again, it's a correct

decision.

0:21:540:22:01

Across goal my by Maguire. Important

clearance. Smashed by Ndidi. That

0:22:040:22:09

was so close. That was so close from

Wilfried Ndidi. The contact is so

0:22:090:22:14

sweet. It's swerving too, but not

quite enough. Leicester now posing

0:22:140:22:19

Liverpool one or two difficulties.

Here's Mohamed Salah. He did well.

0:22:190:22:23

Firmino. Oxlade-Chamberlain.

Coutinho, alarm bells here. It's

0:22:230:22:29

Coutinho. Good save, Schmeichel.

Oxlade-Chamberlain right into the

0:22:290:22:38

action. Philippe Coutinho here

working the room for the shot.

0:22:380:22:43

Schmeichel again, good goalkeeping.

Firmino, a little deeper just now.

0:22:430:22:50

Milner into Salah. Salah's got away

from Maguire and scores again.

0:22:500:22:58

He just can't stop scoring. Mohamed

Salah for Liverpool. What about this

0:23:020:23:11

turn? It's the first time Harry

Maguire's been beaten all day. The

0:23:110:23:18

finish is so precise and Mohamed

Salah has 23 goals for Liverpool

0:23:180:23:24

before new year. A tally which has

only ever been matched by anyone

0:23:240:23:29

playing for this football club by

Roger Hunt. When you consider some

0:23:290:23:34

of the strikers who have played for

this football club, that is some

0:23:340:23:38

achievement. Gray. Nobody, but

nobody is going home. Fuchs for

0:23:380:23:50

another one of those throws. Emre

Can. Harry Maguire. Maguire square.

0:23:500:24:02

In the six-yard box by Lovren. Come

on, he says. Emre Can is there. In

0:24:020:24:12

danger of losing it. He now may have

to run almost the whole length of

0:24:120:24:19

the pitch. Well blocked, Amartey.

Firmino fouled him. Free-kick to

0:24:190:24:25

Leicester. Three minutes were

indicated and more than four have

0:24:250:24:30

been played. The referee blows his

whistle. Liverpool have come back

0:24:300:24:33

and won the game. Jurgen Klopp

celebrates a victory for Liverpool

0:24:330:24:40

which was extremely hard-fought.

0:24:400:24:40

celebrates a victory for Liverpool

which was extremely hard-fought.

0:24:400:24:47

Often blamed last line did really

brilliant job. OK. After two

0:24:470:24:54

minutes, nobody wanted that ball. We

were twice too late. All the rest

0:24:540:24:59

was really good. The crowd yas

outstanding. That was Liverpool how

0:24:590:25:04

it should be. They never gave up.

Nobody gave up in the stadium. I'm

0:25:040:25:10

really You took off happy.

Jamie

Vardy and Mahrez, but then Liverpool

0:25:100:25:13

score an you are without arguably

your two most creative and most

0:25:130:25:17

dangerous players?

With Slimani it

was attacking player. It was to

0:25:170:25:35

continue with selfish. To try to

attack.

Is there a mental fatigue as

0:25:350:25:39

well as physical fatigue for players

at this time? Definitely not. I love

0:25:390:25:42

it. The one positive I take from

today is that we have a game in

0:25:420:25:47

48-hours to make it right.

I'm in

football to play football. I love

0:25:470:25:51

playing. For me, it's... I'm not the

one running about like the out

0:25:510:25:58

fielders I don't feel the fatigue in

the same way. From my point of view

0:25:580:26:03

I'm happy with the game.

He's

phenomenal?

Yeah, he's been

0:26:030:26:08

different class. Amount of goals he

scored. His contribution, his

0:26:080:26:11

workrate more importantly for the

team has been brilliant. When a

0:26:110:26:15

chance falls to him everyone is

confident he will take it.

He wants

0:26:150:26:18

to score all the time. So that's

good. Unfortunately, I saw him

0:26:180:26:25

limping afterwards. We have to check

it. We try to change it as quick as

0:26:250:26:29

possible. That's not toad good. Too

good.

Hopefully it's not serious.

0:26:290:26:40

Astonishing statistics.

He's been

absolutely fantastic.

0:26:400:26:44

Astonishing statistics.

He's been

absolutely fantastic. It was his

0:26:440:26:45

show today. He should have had five

or six goals, but that was the

0:26:450:26:49

impressive thing about him. He got

into so many good positions. The

0:26:490:26:53

touch there. He should hit the

target. I mean, he can play anywhere

0:26:530:26:58

across that front-line, whether it's

left, whether it's right or on this

0:26:580:27:02

occasion down the middle. Slow to

get his shot away there. Good

0:27:020:27:06

defending from Maguire. Give and go.

Once he is in this position you are

0:27:060:27:09

not catching him. You can't touch

him in the box. This is all before

0:27:090:27:13

half-time. He had should have had

two or three. Great play. Into his

0:27:130:27:19

path. Quick feet the way he gets

away from defenders. Once he's

0:27:190:27:23

there, they can't touch him.

Brilliant lay-off backheel from

0:27:230:27:28

Mane. As I said, you can't go

anywhere near himle now, can't touch

0:27:280:27:31

him. The balance, superb. He gets

into those positions again down the

0:27:310:27:36

middle. Quick, strong. So quick,

running in behind. Another very good

0:27:360:27:43

opportunity. He should actually do

better. But the goal, this goal

0:27:430:27:48

here, it had everything about it.

Strength, precision, power, pace and

0:27:480:27:54

accuracy with the finish. That's

what won them the game. You can't

0:27:540:27:59

get that too tight on to him. As he

has shown many times this season, he

0:27:590:28:03

has got the strength to do that.

Once he's away. I mean, 17 goals in

0:28:030:28:09

21 Premier League games.

£37 million

a snip?

Bargain.

Brilliant. He's a

0:28:090:28:16

Player.

He is. When you look at the

chances like you mentioned today,

0:28:160:28:19

five or six today. I saw him miss a

few at Newcastle. I'm not saying

0:28:190:28:25

he's as good, I'm going to say, dare

I say, dare, dare they say! Even

0:28:250:28:31

Messi the way he plays the

campering. He gives me a Messi vibe.

0:28:310:28:37

What are you looking at me for that

man.

Messi?

His style. He's got a

0:28:370:28:43

Messi vibe. Sglp he's good, come on!

Do the link, man.

Let's be

0:28:430:28:47

realistic.

You kill me!

Virgil van

Dijk they paid a lot of money £75

0:28:470:28:54

million. A lot of money for Salah at

the time. He was watching the game.

0:28:540:28:58

He can't play yet. Only conceded

four at home this season.

At home

0:28:580:29:05

they've been tight not giving much

away. They gave a goal away today

0:29:050:29:09

and maded it very difficult for

themselves. Matip, who is he playing

0:29:090:29:14

to early on in the game? As you say,

they have been relatively tight at

0:29:140:29:18

home. The problem they have had is

away from home. Watch him here. When

0:29:180:29:22

he gives the ball away. Watch his

lack of reaction. When he loses it

0:29:220:29:27

there. Too slow to react. Vardy, he

can get in and recover. It's too

0:29:270:29:34

late and it's in the back of the

net. If Southampton had waited they

0:29:340:29:39

could add £5 million on the price

tag after are that today. Early on

0:29:390:29:44

in the season when Kyle Walker went

for £50 million everyone was the

0:29:440:29:48

same. Wow.

Knocked on by the Neymar

and the massive fees.

For three

0:29:480:29:54

months no-one has mentioned the fee

from Kyle Walker. He has to make

0:29:540:29:59

Liverpool morsel lid away from home.

Indeed.

0:29:590:30:00

Just a week after leaving

Sheffield Wednesday,

0:30:020:30:03

Carlos Carvalhal took charge

of Swansea for the first time

0:30:030:30:06

for their trip to Watford,

who ended a run of six games

0:30:060:30:09

without a win by beating

Leicester on Boxing Day.

0:30:090:30:11

John Roder was at Vicarage Road.

0:30:110:30:12

18 matches remain for Carlos

Carvalhal to turn the season around,

0:30:190:30:24

an impossible task according to

many. Richarlison scored a late

0:30:240:30:30

winner when the sides met back in

September. He has not scored in his

0:30:300:30:35

last eight appearances. Tammy

Abraham is upfront for Swansea.

0:30:350:30:45

Clucas starts. Carrillo. Doucoure.

Caught in possession by Ayew. Ayew.

0:30:450:31:06

Not too much available in the way of

options but he went for gold. Off

0:31:060:31:12

the bar with Gomes Beaton. Ayew

scored a great goal last weekend and

0:31:120:31:19

he almost put Swansea in front.

Carlos Carvalhal so close to seen

0:31:190:31:24

his side go into the lead. Nice

bright opening from both of these

0:31:240:31:29

sides. Zeegelaar. Cleverley. Can he

get the shot away? Did not quite

0:31:290:31:46

have the kernel on it that Tom

Cleverley wanted to. Bright

0:31:460:31:50

beginning at Vicarage Road from both

Watford and Swansea. Watford stopped

0:31:500:31:58

there with victory over Leicester

here on Boxing Day. Fernando 's is

0:31:580:32:03

right behind him but he was able to

come away with possession.

0:32:030:32:11

Richarlison goes for goal and their

header is then from Carrillo! The

0:32:110:32:20

Peruvian international gets his

first goal for Watford. Good

0:32:200:32:29

strength. Richarlison is clearly

onside. Pushed away by Fabianski but

0:32:290:32:40

not to safety. Set up nicely for

Carrillo. The man who played under

0:32:400:32:46

Marco Silber at sporting gets his

first goal under Marco Silber at

0:32:460:32:51

Watford. It could be so different

for Carlos Carvalhal had the shot

0:32:510:32:58

being a little bit lower. Given away

by Naughton. Able to turn. Doucoure,

0:32:580:33:07

options to his right. He will leave

it for Janmaat. In towards

0:33:070:33:14

Richarlison who is arriving. Getting

there are ahead of Kyle Naughton.

0:33:140:33:22

Comfortable save for Fabianski.

Cleverley. Carrillo. Carrillo. Can

0:33:220:33:35

he get the shot away. He is still

going. Swansea seemed to have

0:33:350:33:43

stopped there for some reason. The

end result is a corner to Watford.

0:33:430:33:48

Everyone stood still in a white

shirt. Cleverley will take. The

0:33:480:33:55

whistle had gone before the ball

crossed the line. Just there. Troy

0:33:550:34:05

Deeney, currently serving a

suspension over the Christmas and

0:34:050:34:09

New Year period. He would really

fancy his chances against Swansea

0:34:090:34:14

today if he was eligible to play.

Sanches. In towards Jordan Ayew. Can

0:34:140:34:25

he get the shot away? Not this time.

Ayew. Darragh Fanning. Took a touch

0:34:250:34:32

too much and in the end it was easy

for Gomez. Swansea might have had a

0:34:320:34:39

chance of an equaliser. Able to find

the substitute. One chance of note

0:34:390:34:48

for Swansea so far today. The size

of the task ahead of them is

0:34:480:34:54

becoming apparent. Picked up by

Pereyra. Andre Gray to finish it.

0:34:540:35:08

Fabianski with this save to keep

Swansea in this match. It looked for

0:35:080:35:13

all the world there is no Andre Gray

was going to score against Swansea

0:35:130:35:18

for the second time this season. It

remains 1-0. Naughton. Announcing he

0:35:180:35:28

is available on the far side. Up

against Zeegelaar. The header from

0:35:280:35:35

McBurnie down to Jordan Ayew.

Watford are appealing for offside

0:35:350:35:39

but I use cause for the second

successive week and to make it 1-1.

0:35:390:35:44

-- Jordan Ayew. That was costly.

Jordan Ayew gets his fifth goal of

0:35:440:35:53

the season. Watford are most

unhappy. They thought he was

0:35:530:35:59

offside. That is very, very close

indeed. Swansea get an equaliser

0:35:590:36:07

late on at Vicarage Road. They must

have feared the worst when Andre

0:36:070:36:16

Gray was through, Fabianski with

then save and just moments later

0:36:160:36:20

Jordan Ayew gets the equaliser.

Swansea free kick. Swansea fans

0:36:200:36:30

behind that goal. Hoping against

hope that there is side can get a

0:36:300:36:35

late winner. Sanches. Away by

Proedl. Dyer. Saved by the

0:36:350:36:44

goalkeeper but the rebound is tucked

in and Swansea have what could be a

0:36:440:36:48

winner! Narsingh. Pandemonium in the

Swansea technical area. Carlos

0:36:480:36:58

Carvalhal may well be collecting

three points in his first match in

0:36:580:37:02

charge. What a turnaround. Proedl's

header away. He is most definitely

0:37:020:37:14

onside, Narsingh. First to react.

Gomez with the initial save but

0:37:140:37:25

powerless to prevent the follow-up

from going in. Narsingh gets his

0:37:250:37:29

first goal of the season and are

Swansea going to end 2017 on a high?

0:37:290:37:36

Into the last minute of the minimum

of four but there might be time

0:37:360:37:42

added on. Blow the whistle will be

the message from Swansea! Naughton

0:37:420:37:46

hurls along. A remarkable afternoon

for Swansea who turned this match

0:37:460:37:57

around with two late goals. Jordan

Ayew and Narsingh to give Carlos

0:37:570:38:05

Carvalhal victory in his first match

in charge. 1- to.

0:38:050:38:11

Carvalhal victory in his first match

in charge. 1- to.

We finalise the

0:38:110:38:17

game. We had two attackers. Sanches

drives the ball a lot to attack and

0:38:170:38:25

we tried to do that. We tried

everything to win. We found the game

0:38:250:38:33

very difficult, Watford were strong

but we controlled the match and we

0:38:330:38:35

scored the winning goal. Even some

seconds before, we had a clear

0:38:350:38:42

chance to kill the match.

Even when

we do not score, it gives them

0:38:420:38:48

believe. It gave sombrely for them.

We kept fighting. We had a chance.

0:38:480:39:06

Today, even if we did not win, we

saw some positive things. We need to

0:39:060:39:14

look to see what we can do to make

the team better. Even if we do not

0:39:140:39:20

win, we take a lot of good things

from the game.

It is quite a start

0:39:200:39:26

and what a turnaround.

Incredible.

The impressive thing about Swansea

0:39:260:39:31

today was that there are tingles

they have scored, the lowest in the

0:39:310:39:35

league. He realises that they have

to change that and he tried to do

0:39:350:39:41

that today with the attacking

line-up in the first half. A lot of

0:39:410:39:46

the time when they got into the

final third, they committed men

0:39:460:39:50

forward are not afraid to do that.

On three or four occasions, they had

0:39:500:39:55

four men in the box and the cross

goes in, they had men who could

0:39:550:40:00

cause a problem.

0:40:000:40:01

goes in, they had men who could

cause a problem. This is a key

0:40:010:40:04

moment, five minutes to go, this is

to go two up, it is a big

0:40:040:40:10

opportunity for Andre Gray and he

should score and it is game over.

0:40:100:40:15

Swansea keep on going. Another

substitute comes on, Narsingh who

0:40:150:40:22

puts the good ball in. They are

getting bodies into the box and I

0:40:220:40:26

know it is late on but that was the

case in the first half as well. Just

0:40:260:40:31

offside. It is very tight, but it is

just offside. A good header and good

0:40:310:40:37

finish. It is offside. A tight one

for the assistant to see. Free kick

0:40:370:40:44

again. Again, four or five in the

box, they win the ball again, they

0:40:440:40:50

keep it alive. Lovely strike. Five

players in there are but Narsingh is

0:40:500:40:54

quickest to react. If you look at

his body shape when the ball comes

0:40:540:40:59

back to him, he is the only one on

the half-time, the only one who is

0:40:590:41:05

expecting it and he is quicker and

sharper than anyone else and he gets

0:41:050:41:09

the reward. That is the big three

points for him and Swansea.

Carlos

0:41:090:41:15

Carvalhal has been around a long

time.

15 clubs in 20 years. I know

0:41:150:41:21

he was at Sheffield Wednesday, he

rarely spends more than 12 months at

0:41:210:41:25

any club.

0:41:250:41:28

rarely spends more than 12 months at

any club.

He is experienced. Perhaps

0:41:280:41:31

one downside for Swansea is that

Kyle Naughton might be in a spot of

0:41:310:41:34

bother.

0:41:340:41:36

Kyle Naughton might be in a spot of

bother.

I think so. This is not

0:41:360:41:38

nice. You look with the ball is and

where he stamps on him. You could

0:41:380:41:44

tell by his reaction. He goes down.

Look at Kyle Naughton. He knows what

0:41:440:41:52

he is doing. I think you should get

in trouble for that. Watford have

0:41:520:42:00

lost five in the last six.

0:42:000:42:02

in trouble for that. Watford have

lost five in the last six. That has

0:42:020:42:03

to be a worry. As the season goes

on, that will cause a problem at the

0:42:030:42:08

business end.

0:42:080:42:12

Four games still to come.

0:42:120:42:16

A good chance for Wilson.

0:42:160:42:18

A good chance for Wilson. And the

chants and a save from De Gea. What

0:42:180:42:26

a good shot. It is a good ball. Good

save.

0:42:260:42:33

Plenty more football over

the next few days as well.

0:43:010:43:02

Opponents Everton arrived

at the Vitality Stadium,

0:43:020:43:04

still unbeaten under new manager Sam

Allardyce.

0:43:040:43:07

Commentary comes from John Motson.

0:43:070:43:09

JOHN MOTSON:

0:43:130:43:17

Nine years ago Gosling scored a goal

for Everton against Liverpool. He

0:43:170:43:21

faces his old club today having

scored for Bournemouth on Boxing

0:43:210:43:24

Day. Eddie Howe carried out a number

of late fitness tests. Arter and

0:43:240:43:31

Daniels on the bench. Nol Jermain

Defoe or Junior Stanislas, both

0:43:310:43:37

injured. Sam Allardyce's poised to

go into the transfer window, but his

0:43:370:43:40

squad is strengthen today by the

return of James McCarthy. His first

0:43:400:43:44

Premier League appearance of the

season. Wayne Rooney has recovered

0:43:440:43:48

from illness and he's on the bench.

Historical it's always been a game

0:43:480:43:54

with plenty of goals and plenty of

drama, Bournemouth v Everton, we

0:43:540:43:59

shall see. Good challenge. Phil

Jagielka. Now Wilson trying to shake

0:43:590:44:11

off Keane. He has. Callum Wilson,

too close to Pickford. A chance for

0:44:110:44:17

Bournemouth goes away. The first

real opening of the game. Callum

0:44:170:44:23

Wilson, who has had two long

injuries. Getting back to his best.

0:44:230:44:27

He shook off Michael Keane kink and

Jagielka, but just placed his shot

0:44:270:44:32

into a closer position to Pickford

than they would have liked. Eight

0:44:320:44:38

games without a win, Bournemouth.

Drawn four lost four, last beat

0:44:380:44:46

Huddersfield on November 18th.

Fraser. Now it's out here to Adam

0:44:460:44:52

Smith. Cook.

0:44:520:44:55

Ibe. Brings a save out of Pickford.

Jordan Ibe yet to score for

0:44:580:45:09

Bournemouth. In terms of Liverpool

money, it's peanuts now. Shakespeare

0:45:090:45:23

was on Allardyce's England staff

when he had that brief spell as

0:45:230:45:27

manager. Sammy Lee has joined the

team as well. In this run of seven

0:45:270:45:32

games unbeaten, Everton winning four

and drawing three, they have

0:45:320:45:34

conceded two goals. Five clean

sheets. Oh, here come Bournemouth.

0:45:340:45:43

Fraser! It's a goal. Bournemouth

take the lead and the swiftest of

0:45:460:45:55

breakaways. With Everton caught

cold. Bournemouth breaking down the

0:45:550:46:01

right hand side. The cross was very

good, but Fraser had to come back on

0:46:010:46:06

himself almost. Fraser reacted ever

so well.

0:46:060:46:10

Now McCarthy had a hand in

inadvertently giving Everton their

0:46:120:46:17

goal. That pass, if you want to call

it that, only really went to Callum

0:46:170:46:22

Wilson. They've got the lead.

They've got to hold on to it. It's

0:46:220:46:29

Wayne Rooney to start the

second-half. He's just come on as a

0:46:290:46:33

substitute in place of James

McCarthy. Lennon. Arms go up in

0:46:330:46:46

appeal. Nothing given. That was

Schneiderlin to Rooney. It's

0:46:460:46:54

Rooney's shot. It's wide. Rooney the

top-scorer for Everton this season.

0:46:540:47:04

11 goals, ten in the Premier League.

Oh, dear me, a mistake here by Steve

0:47:040:47:13

Cook. It's Niasse.

0:47:130:47:24

Here comes Gueye. He equalises for

Everton. Bournemouth, well Steve

0:47:240:47:29

Cook has to look at himself here.

That was a bad mistake. Everton took

0:47:290:47:36

full advantage. The flick on was a

good one. Really good finish by

0:47:360:47:43

Gueye. Sam Allardyce's team right

back in the hunt here. Rooney for

0:47:430:47:48

Everton. A little back flick that

only half came off. Francis. Oh,

0:47:480:47:59

he's got away here from Sigurdsson.

That's a good chance for Wilson. A

0:47:590:48:03

good save by Jordan Pickford. It

could so easily have been 2-1

0:48:030:48:09

Bournemouth. Simon Francis claimed

the one-two here. Gets behind

0:48:090:48:15

Sigurdsson, Callum Wilson, a bit

close maybe to Pickford, but he was

0:48:150:48:19

down well again with his right hand.

There's Jermain Defoe, who will be

0:48:190:48:23

out for some little time. The man

he's talking to, well-known resident

0:48:230:48:27

on the South Coast, Mr Redknapp

senior. Intercepted by Ibe. Here he

0:48:270:48:34

is again. Jordan Ibe. Afobe to his

left. Ibe goes for goal. Perhaps he

0:48:340:48:41

could have played it to either side.

Here's Wilson. This is Francis. Just

0:48:410:48:50

wondering about that decision. Here

he is again though, Jordan Ibe. Oh

0:48:500:48:56

this time, even closer. Well, he had

a go just earlier when I thought he

0:48:560:49:00

might have laid it off, but this

time perfectly entitled to take the

0:49:000:49:04

shot. Made room on the left foot,

and it clips the angle of post and

0:49:040:49:10

crossbar. When he came through the

first time, I wondered if he could

0:49:100:49:13

have stood it to his right hand

side. Anyway, that's history now.

0:49:130:49:17

Bournemouth are still looking for

this inwithing goal. Smith. Fraser.

0:49:170:49:27

Afobe. Keane is the defender.

Fraser, again. Smith. Ibe.

0:49:290:49:40

He does tend to go a long way around

sometimes Jordan Ibe. That ball down

0:49:440:49:51

to Niasse put Everton on the attack

am look at the three men. It's Gylfi

0:49:510:49:55

Sigurdsson. Oh, heart in the mouth

stuff for Bournemouth. Great

0:49:550:50:00

challenge in the way by Ake. They

shouldn't have given him that much

0:50:000:50:05

space, surely. Sigurdsson in a very

threatening position. Still though

0:50:050:50:08

it's the kind of game that can go

either way. If you've seen

0:50:080:50:12

Bournemouth and Everton play before,

you wouldn't rule out something

0:50:120:50:15

happening in the last five. Lennon.

Fraser.

0:50:150:50:20

Now here's Smith. Now, can they get

away again on that side,

0:50:210:50:26

Bournemouth? Yes, they can. Fraser.

Oh, it's in! He's done it. Would you

0:50:260:50:37

believe it, in complete keeping with

these picks fours, Fraser got away

0:50:370:50:41

down the left hand side. There was a

deflection there for sure, but what

0:50:410:50:47

is for certain, is that Bournemouth

are in front again. Here's Fraser

0:50:470:50:51

now. Look at Michael Keane kink.

Yes, it's off him. I wouldn't call

0:50:510:50:55

it an own-goal. No, I wouldn't. But

Ryan Fraser, if it's not, that's his

0:50:550:51:04

second of the match. Can't believe

it's happened again in this fixture,

0:51:040:51:08

I really can't. Look what it means

to the managers. Sam Allardyce

0:51:080:51:14

facing his first defeat. The match

winner, no question about that, Ryan

0:51:140:51:19

Fraser.

0:51:190:51:19

winner, no question about that, Ryan

Fraser.

Our run ain't been great our

0:51:190:51:24

performances have been high. I think

we needed that bit of luck. We are

0:51:240:51:28

at our best when he we press. People

think if we get battered that is

0:51:280:51:31

what happened ha. That is how we

want to play it. Fair play to the

0:51:310:51:36

gaffer for keeping it that The

victim of way.

Our own errors today

0:51:360:51:40

really that is disappointing on

where I thought we'd come from. We

0:51:400:51:46

must eliminate those errors and

those simple gifting of the ball

0:51:460:51:49

back to opposition when we are in

good position so it doesn't

0:51:490:51:54

encourage them to attack us. That

was a disappointing feature for me

0:51:540:51:58

today.

I spoke to the Bournemouth

manager, Eddie Howe. Eddie,

0:51:580:52:03

congratulations. A much needed

victory. The first in nine games?

0:52:030:52:07

Yes. Massive win for us. We knew the

importance of today. The games get

0:52:070:52:12

bigger in this League. We have been

on a difficult run. Performances

0:52:120:52:15

have been I think pretty good. Today

we got our reward finally.

How

0:52:150:52:20

frustrating is it in the middle of

those runs when you feel you are

0:52:200:52:23

playing decent football?

It's

difficult. We played really well at

0:52:230:52:27

Old Trafford against Manchester

United away and came away with

0:52:270:52:30

nothing. We had a fixture list of

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester

0:52:300:52:35

City. They are difficult runs of

games. To get anything is incredibly

0:52:350:52:39

tough. We play against West Ham,

should win the game we shalling

0:52:390:52:43

don't. We come here today and we

knew the importance. We deservedly

0:52:430:52:47

go a goal up and Everton hit back

due to our mistake. The lads have

0:52:470:52:52

shown in my time here character and

self belief they needed it that

0:52:520:52:58

moment.

Element of good fortune with

Ryan Fraser's winner?

Outstanding

0:52:580:53:03

player in recent weeks. He had the

techical ability and creativity that

0:53:030:53:08

we look for in wide players. He's

really delivering in recent weeks.

0:53:080:53:12

His partnership with Adam Smith

today I thought was good. I thought

0:53:120:53:15

he deserved the two moments of the

goals.

Out of the bottom three now

0:53:150:53:18

with that result. That must be

important psychologically, Eddie?

I

0:53:180:53:23

think it's huge. You don't want to

be there for a second in any season.

0:53:230:53:26

We have been there. We have had to

take that. Now we've had to show the

0:53:260:53:31

character to fight back. All our

success in recent years has been

0:53:310:53:34

down to a really tight team spirit

and a really club mentality where

0:53:340:53:39

everyone gets behind the team we had

that in the two home games the

0:53:390:53:43

atmosphere has been electric.

Delighted to see us get our we

0:53:430:53:47

regard.

Tight at the bottom. A

couple of wins can see you jump to

0:53:470:53:52

halfway. That is what you will look

for going into 2018? . Absolutely.

0:53:520:53:58

Absolutely.we spoke to that about

players. Runs of events can make a

0:53:580:54:02

kifrns difference. So many teams

involved, it's tight. We need to use

0:54:020:54:08

this as a momentum shift and focus

on Brighton. Thank you for talking

0:54:080:54:11

to us. Many congratulations once

again.

Thank you.

As he said, a

0:54:110:54:15

massive win for Bournemouth. He also

gave special mention to Ryan Fraser

0:54:150:54:20

who you thought was the star

0:54:200:54:21

gave special mention to Ryan Fraser

who you thought was the star of the

0:54:210:54:21

show.

He was brilliant. Eddie Howe

said he started the last seven

0:54:210:54:28

games. He he has been their main

manage. He comes in as a winger.

0:54:280:54:33

Everything they did well today he

was part of it. Half turn. Getting

0:54:330:54:37

into space, going at people. Gets a

foul here. This is his goal. The

0:54:370:54:41

next is the goal where he blasts

from the middle of the pitch. Isn't

0:54:410:54:47

an easy finish. Five of of his six

goals have come in December. He

0:54:470:54:52

loves the festive period. Fantastic

finish. Adjusted himself well.

0:54:520:54:57

Finishes it is brilliantly. He finds

himself in the middle of the pitch.

0:54:570:55:01

Lovely little linkup play here.

Keeps it going. Everything they were

0:55:010:55:06

doing that was of any quality, he

was majorly involved in it. He's the

0:55:060:55:11

main person for me for them who is

pushing forward, trying to make

0:55:110:55:16

things happen especially at home.

His linking. Someone should have

0:55:160:55:20

been on this. Afobe, Callum Wilson

in there.

Messi-like cross?

He's the

0:55:200:55:26

same size as him! This is the goal.

Great play. Lovely one, two and he's

0:55:260:55:31

off. No-one goes with him. Most

dangerous man on the pitch for

0:55:310:55:35

Bournemouth today. He gets the luck.

Gets the luck in the end. Like Eddie

0:55:350:55:39

Howe said, he worked hard the last

few games and deserved that luck.

0:55:390:55:43

Made a lot of noise at the video

tall today. They pinched it. I'm

0:55:430:55:48

pleased for them.

Good win. First

setback for Big Sam since he took

0:55:480:55:53

over a month ago, Alan. Needed a

goalscorer?

Half of the league need

0:55:530:55:59

a goalscorer. A few on the look out

for one of those. Disappointing

0:55:590:56:03

result. Everton disappointing

result. Where you consider where

0:56:030:56:12

they were a months ago to where they

are in ninth. They will be

0:56:120:56:15

delighted.

0:56:150:56:16

After back to back draws

against Leicester and Burnley,

0:56:160:56:19

Manchester United faced

a Southampton side who'd gone seven

0:56:190:56:21

games without a win.

0:56:210:56:22

Simon Brotherton

was at Old Trafford.

0:56:220:56:25

SIMON BROTHERTON:

Manchester United's Lingard has been

0:56:250:56:30

in great goalscoring form lately

with both against Burnley on Boxing

0:56:300:56:34

Day and six in his last seven league

appearances. Southampton's last line

0:56:340:56:38

of defence this evening is McCarthy

who plays his first Premier League

0:56:380:56:43

game for the club. Fraser Forster

dropped to the bench after a run of

0:56:430:56:48

76 straight Premier League

appearances.

0:56:480:56:51

Pogba. This is Mkhitaryan. Just on

the inside of Luke Shaw, Pogba. Over

0:56:520:57:08

the top of Lukaku. Collected by

Mata. First foray into the penalty

0:57:080:57:13

area. It element results in the

opening goal of the game. Romelu

0:57:130:57:18

Lukaku with the header. Sweeping

past from Pogba. Pinpoint control

0:57:180:57:23

from Mata, right on to Lukaku's

head.

0:57:230:57:28

Lingard. Take the return. Hooked

away to Tadic. Up against his

0:57:310:57:46

Serbian colleague Matic here.

Looking for Shane Long. Turning away

0:57:460:57:50

from Jones. The flag stays down.

It's Boufal in behind the defence. A

0:57:500:57:56

chance and a save from de Gea. The

flag went up now. James Ward prows

0:57:560:58:03

with the shot. Southampton

threatening here in the early

0:58:030:58:07

minutes of this one. James

Ward-Prowse. It falls to

0:58:070:58:18

Ward-Prowse, having been off the

pitch Boufal comes trotting back on

0:58:180:58:23

and the flag straight up. Forward by

Matic, on by Lukaku. Got a knock-on

0:58:230:58:27

the head there. The referee will

stop the game, free-kick. That was a

0:58:270:58:32

bang on the head from Wesley there.

It must be a hefty blow for Lukaku

0:58:320:58:42

to be left on the card. Hitting the

Belgian's head by mistake. Rashford

0:58:420:58:52

is getting ready straightaway here.

Romelu Lukaku forced to leave the

0:58:520:58:58

field. We wish him a speedy

recovery. Having played in every

0:58:580:59:07

single match this season, Romelu

Lukaku lasts just less than 10

0:59:070:59:11

minutes in this one and is now going

to be replaced by Marcus Rashford as

0:59:110:59:16

Jose Mourinho is forced into an

unwanted early change here.

0:59:160:59:21

Going long, Rashford is underneath

it. Still with Rashford. Here comes

0:59:310:59:38

Mata. McCarthy. Mayor had those two

goals against Leicester and his eyes

0:59:380:59:44

will have lit up for another

opportunity. Fraser Forster dropped

0:59:440:59:51

to the bench for the first time in

almost two years in the league.

0:59:510:59:54

Mata. Nobody on the left-hand side

for United, Shaw is going forwards.

0:59:541:00:06

Testing McQueen. Done well. Just off

the glove of McCarthy I think onto

1:00:061:00:16

the back of Marcus Rashford's head.

Well played by Ashley Young. Took

1:00:161:00:21

his time in taking on the Queen. I

am not sure if McCarthy got a touch,

1:00:211:00:27

it is off the head of Marcus

Rashford. Lovely piece of skill.

1:00:271:00:38

Looked like handball. The referee

feels the rise and Stephens turns

1:00:381:00:43

away from my Qatari. Let us have

another look. Nice piece of play

1:00:431:00:48

from Lindegaard. It strikes Yoshida

on the arm. That is why Manchester

1:00:481:00:55

United were appealing. United with

just one shot on target so far. One

1:00:551:01:06

of those classic passes from Bob

Love. It is collected by Mkhitaryan

1:01:061:01:12

and now Mata and proper. It ends up

on the ground as the ball whistled

1:01:121:01:18

past the post. The header from Jesse

Lingard is just wide. Romeu is

1:01:181:01:31

forward. Now it is Tadic and

Ward-Prowse is available. Lindsey

1:01:311:01:42

racy men. Shane Long brings the save

from De Gea. Stretching all the way

1:01:421:01:52

back to February, it is coming to an

end and the third of De Gea ensures

1:01:521:01:56

that the ball went over the top of

the crossbar. This time Phil Jones

1:01:561:02:05

got it away. Southampton have a

player down, it is Long. He is

1:02:051:02:09

slowly getting to his feet. Ashley

Young was very fortunate that the

1:02:091:02:17

referee did not see this. An elbow

into the face of Dusan Tadic. There

1:02:171:02:26

is a collision with Shane Long.

Manchester United labouring against

1:02:261:02:34

a side who have only won one of

their last 11 matches before today.

1:02:341:02:40

First touch for Anthony Martial. The

challenge from Romeu. He protests to

1:02:401:02:50

Craig Paulson. Cortes right to. --

caught his right to. Ashley Young

1:02:501:03:01

will take this, round the wall and

past the post. Deflected off Jack

1:03:011:03:09

Stephens. Not been a great festive

season for the Old Trafford

1:03:091:03:13

faithful. Young. Foul by blue file.

He may need to tread a little

1:03:131:03:23

carefully because he has already

been booked -- foul by Boufal. Matt

1:03:231:03:33

Ritchie on the turn and Pogba is

there are put it home. -- Matic is

1:03:331:03:41

on the turn. The festive frustration

for Manchester United continues.

1:03:411:03:47

Pogba is offside.

1:03:471:03:53

for Manchester United continues.

Pogba is offside.

How much of a

1:03:531:03:55

morale boost is this for you, you

needed to do something after Boxing

1:03:551:04:01

Day?

Yes. It is not just for the

points, it is the performance and

1:04:011:04:06

the character that we showed. I

think it would be really important

1:04:061:04:11

for us. Tuesday we have an importing

game.

Presumably a frustrating way

1:04:111:04:19

for you to end the way -- end the

year.

Especially that minute with a

1:04:191:04:26

referee did not give the clear

penalty. It clearly struck him on

1:04:261:04:32

the arm. Thank you for agreeing. I

have spoken to the officials, but

1:04:321:04:37

for what? For what?

Jose Mourinho is

not happy. He was also on the end of

1:04:371:04:47

a little bit of disgruntlement among

the Manchester United fans, there

1:04:471:04:51

were a few boos from the fans. His

whole demeanour seems a little bit

1:04:511:04:58

down.

Three consecutive draws. I

thought his team copied him, there

1:04:581:05:05

was no energy, tired, slow, there

was no spark, similar to him. In a

1:05:051:05:09

lot of his interviews of late, he

constantly wants to blame other

1:05:091:05:14

people or the referee but at the

minute his team has not been good

1:05:141:05:17

enough and he has to accept that. It

is not the fault of the referee. I

1:05:171:05:22

thought his team played the way he

was in his interview afterwards.

1:05:221:05:27

Romelu Lukaku got injured. There

were a few concerns, but we

1:05:271:05:31

understand it is not too serious. He

might miss a couple of games. Flat

1:05:311:05:42

and brahimovic is out for one month

so Rashford was in the centre role.

1:05:421:05:45

How do you think he did?

Here is an

outstanding talent with great

1:05:451:05:49

potential, but I have sympathy with

him, he has to learn the hard way in

1:05:491:05:54

the centre forward role because he

is having to play left and right

1:05:541:05:58

down the middle.

1:05:581:05:59

is having to play left and right

down the middle.

It is difficult

1:05:591:06:02

learning that way but his movement

has to be better. That is what you

1:06:021:06:11

have to do. No movement at all. This

is not a criticism of him, I am only

1:06:111:06:17

giving him a little bit of advice

that I hope they can take on,

1:06:171:06:21

because he has got to be prepared to

gamble. When these balls are coming

1:06:211:06:26

in, you have to to gamble and be a

split second quicker than a defender

1:06:261:06:29

in time he realised it, it was too

late. You have been given a great

1:06:291:06:35

opportunity here to pull the

trigger, it is a free

1:06:351:06:48

shot at goal, do not turn it down.

Take a shot, left foot, go in the

1:07:071:07:10

back of the net. You do not need

another touch. I have sympathy for

1:07:101:07:13

him and I think he will be a very

good player, but he has to learn and

1:07:131:07:16

learn quickly. Manchester United did

have the ball in the back of the

1:07:161:07:19

net. If he had left it, do you think

he would have had a goal. He is

1:07:191:07:22

offside there. The goalkeeper does

get a little touch on it. When we

1:07:221:07:25

see it from the next angle, here, I

think that is going in off the post.

1:07:251:07:30

That does not show the spin on the

ball. I think if Pogba leaves it, I

1:07:301:07:35

think it goes in.

The other talking

point, the one that Jose Mourinho

1:07:351:07:42

was complaining about, the handball,

Yoshida.

1:07:421:07:44

was complaining about, the handball,

Yoshida.

I think it was a penalty. I

1:07:441:07:48

think Jesse Lingard does

brilliantly. He is in a position

1:07:481:07:51

where he could get a left foot shot

in. Yoshida's hand is well up there.

1:07:511:07:57

The referee is in a good position.

It is close. I know he is

1:07:571:08:07

complaining that he should have got

it, but I think Manchester United

1:08:071:08:11

should have put this game away and

they did not. I think they should

1:08:111:08:15

have had a penalty.

Another talking

point, Ashley Young might be in

1:08:151:08:19

trouble.

I think he will get done by

the panel.

1:08:191:08:29

trouble.

I think he will get done by

the panel. I think they will look at

1:08:291:08:33

that and he will get done.

Southampton, a much-needed point for

1:08:331:08:38

them.

1:08:381:08:38

Southampton, a much-needed point for

them.

I thought they did very well.

1:08:381:08:47

Boufal played well for them. They

did well.

They made a big decision

1:08:471:08:52

in changing the goalkeeper and it

worked.

1:08:521:08:56

Two games to go.

1:08:561:08:57

Coming up, Newcastle

versus Brighton, but first two teams

1:08:571:08:59

who've both exceeded

expectations this season.

1:08:591:09:00

Seventh placed Burnley

were in action at Huddersfield,

1:09:001:09:02

who kicked off in eleventh.

1:09:021:09:03

Martin Fisher was at

the John Smith's stadium.

1:09:031:09:04

Martin Fisher was at

the John Smith's stadium.

1:09:041:09:09

Huddersfield continued to keep the

relegation zone at arms length and

1:09:091:09:13

Burnley remain on the coat-tails of

the top six. Which story is the

1:09:131:09:18

biggest surprise of the season so

far? Depoitre has found the net in

1:09:181:09:23

three out of his last four games, he

is preferred to Mounie in attack.

1:09:231:09:30

Malone starts. Scott Arfield helped

Huddersfield to promotion six

1:09:301:09:37

seasons ago and he takes his place

in an unchanged Burnley side. Sean

1:09:371:09:41

Dyche still without wood and Ward.

1:09:411:09:46

Good ball for Quaner. He goes alone.

What a good shot and hope helps it

1:09:551:10:03

over the bar. Quaner still to score

in the Premier League but this is

1:10:031:10:10

wonderful. Good hands from Pope to

turn it over. Hendrick's early ball

1:10:101:10:17

finds Gudmundsson. The miss timed

challenge, just for a moment there,

1:10:171:10:28

Huddersfield for a short at the

back. The Danish international

1:10:281:10:33

received a yellow card. They are in

again. The flag is up. Free header

1:10:331:10:47

initially for Long. Clearly as the

ball comes in, there were two

1:10:471:10:56

offside but not Kevin Long, had his

header beat in the goalkeeper, I

1:10:561:11:00

think that would have stood. Seventh

in the table going into this one,

1:11:001:11:05

the highest position they have ever

been at this time of the year since

1:11:051:11:11

1973 became 1974. Here is

Gudmundsson on his left foot, great

1:11:111:11:14

run, just wide with the finish.

Superb close skills here from the

1:11:141:11:20

Icelandic player. Yet to score this

season. It is over a year since he

1:11:201:11:26

last found the back of the net.

Forward by Bardsley. Drop here by

1:11:261:11:32

Hendrick. Barnes letting it run.

Gudmundsson. Defour on the edge. A

1:11:321:11:40

chance and he is wide. Scored an

absolute wonderful goal with that

1:11:401:11:47

free kick against United on Boxing

Day, Defour and for a moment there

1:11:471:11:51

he must have thought it would be two

goals in a few days. Second best at

1:11:511:11:57

the moment for David Winer's

Huddersfield. They need to get their

1:11:571:12:05

football going. He is away, great

run, looking for Quaner Ann Taylor

1:12:051:12:15

is able to get it back to the

goalkeeper. Lovely work from van La

1:12:151:12:22

Parra, away from court. Saw the run

of Quaner, as did Taylor and a half

1:12:221:12:26

chance had gone. Ince. He lost that

too cheaply to Jack Cork and now

1:12:261:12:40

Barnes has them to his left and Cork

could not find him. Arfield is in,

1:12:401:12:47

saved, Burnley close to breaking the

deadlock again. It all stemmed from

1:12:471:12:52

a error from Ince. Cork could not

find his man and it fell for Arfield

1:12:521:12:59

to test him. Mee. Arfield. Arfield

wants it back. Arfield has done well

1:12:591:13:14

to take it from Smith. Hendrick and

Burnley are in here. Loessl goes on

1:13:141:13:23

strongly, big shout for a penalty

from the Burnley players but Paul

1:13:231:13:28

Tierney is not interested. Arfield

and Hendrick are finally getting

1:13:281:13:32

their way through and as Hendrick

goes in against Loessl, Loessl has

1:13:321:13:36

nothing of the ball, he is nowhere

near but he has taken the leg of

1:13:361:13:42

Hendrick there. That, to me, is a

really strong shout for a Burnley

1:13:421:13:49

penalty. Sean Dyche will be furious.

Yet to have a penalty this season,

1:13:491:13:53

Burnley. Gudmundsson. Play was given

the way of Burnley. Five minutes,

1:13:531:14:06

Burnley have scored a few late goals

this season and they have proved

1:14:061:14:10

decisive. Bardsley's cross. Loessl

gets his body in the way and makes a

1:14:101:14:17

very important save. Wells nearly

scoring the decisive goal on his

1:14:171:14:22

return to the John Smith's stadium.

Good little header from Vokes and

1:14:221:14:27

Wells was stretching and nearly

scoring, it would have been his

1:14:271:14:30

first Burnley goal at the ground

where he used to be a big hero. What

1:14:301:14:34

I find peculiar at the moment is

that people who do a diving motion

1:14:341:14:39

and get penalties and that is the

natural motion. That worries me. It

1:14:391:14:44

is tough for referees, but if you

think of the stats of the game, it

1:14:441:14:49

is highly improbable that you do not

get a penalty.

1:14:491:14:53

Now I hear there was tonne tact. We

were lucky in this situation. Like

1:14:561:15:02

we were very often unlucky in this

season. I'm delighted with this

1:15:021:15:05

point. Another point on the board

against a very, very good Burnley

1:15:051:15:09

side, like

1:15:091:15:09

against a very, very good Burnley

side, like I said.

1:15:091:15:12

COMMENTATOR: He scored 26 goals

since he Tyned signed for Newcastle

1:15:121:15:17

16 months ago. He is their scorer

Gayle has netted three times this

1:15:171:15:20

campaign and all were in defeats.

Gayle one of seven changes following

1:15:201:15:25

Rafa Benitez's plan to stifle

Manchester City am among the others

1:15:251:15:29

Darlow is in goal with Rob Elliot

injured. Five to his name, Glenn

1:15:291:15:33

Murray has a third of his sides

total haul this season hef was the

1:15:331:15:37

last to register for Brighton away

from home. That was on November 4th.

1:15:371:15:43

Murray unwith of five alterations to

the side who lost to Chelsea on

1:15:431:15:47

Boxing Day. 12 different players on

the field today to the last time

1:15:471:15:55

when these two sides took to the

field. Gayle tries to escape. He did

1:15:551:16:00

do. The cross shot parried away by

mat Ryan who had the agility to turn

1:16:001:16:06

and pounce on the rebound. It was a

good ball. Ryan was at full stretch

1:16:061:16:11

to prevent it going further and then

did well to

1:16:111:16:24

get there in front Joselu.

1:16:251:16:28

Murray trying to make himself

available. Cleared by Ritchie. Only

1:16:301:16:34

as far as Knockaert, who organises

himself well. He hits it on target,

1:16:341:16:39

if nothing else. Darlow's position

made it a comfortable enough save.

1:16:391:16:44

Not great defending from Newcastle.

Chris Hughton a popular manager when

1:16:441:16:51

he was in charge of Newcastle. The

Newcastle supporters were unhappy

1:16:511:16:56

when he was sacked in December 2010.

Hayden, Merino. They are not making

1:16:561:17:05

any ground. They are delighted to

get the ball through to Merino.

1:17:051:17:15

Here's Atsu and. You can tell Ryan

was confident the shot wasn't on

1:17:151:17:22

target. Everything that Newcastle is

doing is just a little bit hurried.

1:17:221:17:31

Merino. Plays in Knockaert.

Knockaert. It spins out for yet

1:17:311:17:46

another Brighton corner. The last

three minutes of the first half

1:17:461:17:55

which certainly belongs largely to

the visitors. I can't remember

1:17:551:18:01

Darlow being truly stretched though.

Duffy's header. Over the top of the

1:18:011:18:05

bar. He won that fairly comfortably.

The contact on the ball looked

1:18:051:18:11

promising for a moment.

1:18:111:18:13

Joselu again and Atsu ones more.

That's a deflection. That's another

1:18:231:18:26

corner. They never really had a

sustained spell of pressure on the

1:18:261:18:32

Brighton goal in the first half.

1:18:321:18:36

Here's Hayden to hit it. Has it got

any power on it. With the deflection

1:18:411:18:47

Ryan made an exceptional save.

Hayed. 'Sshot lacks the penetration.

1:18:471:18:53

It took a deflection on the way

through and spung the opposite way

1:18:531:18:56

to which Hayden had intended to hit

it. A brilliant save by Ryan. It

1:18:561:19:00

would have been an own-goal off

Lewis Dunk.

1:19:001:19:04

Here as Atsu. It's a good ball in.

Gayle. Good save by Ryan. Wonderful

1:19:111:19:19

ball in. Terrific flick header. And

mat Ryan, again with a really

1:19:191:19:26

excellent reaction save. Atsu with

time to pick out the run of Gayle.

1:19:261:19:30

His header was perfect, really. It's

a marvellous save by Matt Ryan. 12

1:19:301:19:39

years a Newcastle player of course,

Tim Krul, now the backup goalkeeper

1:19:391:19:44

for Matt Ryan who has been brilliant

again today.

1:19:441:19:50

Looked like a handball by March. The

referee doesn't think so. He keeps

1:19:531:20:00

going. Tries to get beyond Yedlin an

wins a corner. No handball against

1:20:001:20:08

March in the build-up to winning

that corner. Again met by Duffy.

1:20:081:20:15

Then Dunk and then palmed away by

Darlow. Well, Duffy has won so many

1:20:151:20:20

high balls. This time he headed it

back towards his centre-half partner

1:20:201:20:25

and Dunk was on target and Darlow

parries it away. Not many chances in

1:20:251:20:39

it. You can sense that nervousness

1:20:391:20:43

it. You can sense that nervousness

in front of goal Both sides. That is

1:20:431:20:46

where both of us have struggled a

bit. Certainly worthy of the point.

1:20:461:20:51

I think we deserved that a little

bit more. 52,000 turn-up. They

1:20:511:20:56

deserve to have Premier League

football and deserve to have better

1:20:561:21:00

performance from you guys, don't

they?

For sure. I said before we

1:21:001:21:06

appreciate the playth effort the

players are putting on the pitch. We

1:21:061:21:09

see we can do something in January

and bring help for these football

1:21:091:21:12

players.

Another team struggling to

score goals, Newcastle. Dwight Gayle

1:21:121:21:17

went close a couple of times?

I saw

him miss a good chance in the last

1:21:171:21:22

knockings of

1:21:221:21:23

him miss a good chance in the last

knockings of the City game he's got

1:21:231:21:26

to be taking these chances. Three

goals up to this point. Top-scorer

1:21:261:21:30

at Newcastle. Not enough. Atsu could

do more. He let it hit him not put

1:21:301:21:38

anything on it. Whip his head on

that and get the goalkeeper to work

1:21:381:21:41

more. This one, he doesn't look at

Dunk at all. He doesn't make a

1:21:411:21:47

positive move to touch. Doesn't get

it out of his feet. Dunk stretching.

1:21:471:21:52

He makes a good challenge. His touch

is poor. He needs toic requesten up.

1:21:521:21:56

He needs to do everything in

quicker. Half a yard quicker. Help

1:21:561:21:59

seems to be on his heels.

The last

two games both goalless, neither

1:21:591:22:05

were great matches, to be perfectly

honest. Huddersfield Burnley as

1:22:051:22:09

well. The only talking point was

Hendrick going around the keeper. It

1:22:091:22:15

looked like a penalty?

It should

have been a penalty. Good play to

1:22:151:22:20

get there in the first place. Jeff

Hendrick, he goes around. The

1:22:201:22:28

referee has a decent view. Easy for

us when we slow it down. Look at.

1:22:281:22:32

That he brings him down. Sawn Dyche

has every right to be achieved

1:22:321:22:37

grieved. They haven't a penalty all

season. They should have had one

1:22:371:22:40

there, definitely.

Yeah, no doubt

about that. No goals conceded for

1:22:401:22:47

Huddersfield in that game. Unbeaten

in their last four. I think we've

1:22:471:22:51

got that a few times now. We

1:22:511:22:53

in their last four. I think we've

got that a few times now. We are out

1:22:531:22:54

of time Thank you very much.

1:22:541:22:56

got that a few times now. We are out

of time Thank you very much. Let's

1:22:561:22:57

look at the Premier League table.

Manchester City can go 16 points

1:22:571:23:02

clear if they beat Crystal Palace on

Sunday. Chelsea leapfrog Manchester

1:23:021:23:06

United to go second, Liverpool are

now four points above Tottenham and

1:23:061:23:09

Arsenal. Swan sea's win takes them

off the bottom, West Brom at the

1:23:091:23:14

foot of the table. Bournemouth from

18 to 14. West Ham replace the

1:23:141:23:22

Cherries in the relegation zone. The

Times, calling Lukaku's injury a

1:23:221:23:28

knockout blow for Manchester United.

Ansan chez will refuse to leave. And

1:23:281:23:36

Mail, Pep Guardiola is happy to

offer advice to Gareth Southgate.

1:23:361:23:45

That's it.

1:23:451:23:46

Salah strikes again.

1:23:461:23:49

- what a run it's been by the Mo-bot

1:23:491:23:55

Or Messi as he's known by some!

Goodbye.
