How about that? Just brilliant. Just brilliant. Oh, that is wonderful.

:00:20.:00:33.

Annan absolute belter. -- an absolute belter. What a chance. What

:00:34.:00:39.

a goal! Blue is the colour of the Premier League winners.

:00:40.:00:49.

We are locked and loaded and late for another season

:00:50.:00:51.

These two have given us plenty of fire and fury over the years and

:00:52.:00:56.

It's only appropriate we begin with the champions.

:00:57.:01:00.

Chelsea haven't lost on the opening weekend since 1998.

:01:01.:01:02.

They kicked off their title defence against Burnley, who won just once

:01:03.:01:05.

Your commentator at Stamford Bridge, Steve Wilson.

:01:06.:01:10.

COMMENTATOR: The Premier League trophy is on show at Stamford Bridge

:01:11.:01:17.

and why not. If you've got it, flaunt it. Though today near Eden

:01:18.:01:24.

Hazard or Pedro are fit to play. They have ankle injuries. Moses is

:01:25.:01:30.

suspended too for Antonio Conte. 20-year-old French forward Boga gets

:01:31.:01:34.

a shock debut. Morata is on the bench, as he was at Wembley last

:01:35.:01:40.

weekend in the Community Shield. Jack Cork starts. He spent his

:01:41.:01:45.

teenage years at Chelsea before leaving without having cracked the

:01:46.:01:48.

first team. He had two loan spells at Burnley in those years and is

:01:49.:01:50.

back there full-time. Cahill. A foul. Oh, it's a red card.

:01:51.:02:13.

And Gary Cahill has been sent off by Kray Poulson after only 13 minutes

:02:14.:02:20.

of this game. The referee in absolutely no doubt at all. Made the

:02:21.:02:27.

decision very, very quickly. Chelsea's new club captain, Gary

:02:28.:02:37.

Cahill, is sent off. He's stretching and he's missed the ball by a

:02:38.:02:41.

distance. The referee had a great view of it. It's pretty clumsy. I'm

:02:42.:02:47.

not convinced there's any real malice in it. Ill judged, for sure.

:02:48.:02:55.

Ill executed,y. Chelsea are down to 10-men for 75 minutes. -- ill

:02:56.:03:07.

executed. It's a free-kick to Burnley. Fabregas applause the

:03:08.:03:13.

referee, sarcastically, and gets a yellow card. Wow. Look at Fabregas.

:03:14.:03:26.

Given against him. Sarcastic applause, yellow card. Here's

:03:27.:03:39.

Hendrick. Brady. A chance for Lowton to put the ball in, which he did.

:03:40.:03:43.

That's going in. And Burnley have the lead. Sam Vokes has guided

:03:44.:03:51.

Burnley in front. Well, well, well, the champions are behind. In it goes

:03:52.:03:59.

from Matt Lowton. A defendant little touch from Sam Vokes. You just knew

:04:00.:04:02.

that Courtois wasn't going to reach it. Chelsea 0, Burnley 1.

:04:03.:04:18.

Foul by Azpilicueta on Stephen Ward. Groans from the home supporters.

:04:19.:04:34.

Ward eventually to Mee, back to Ward. Cork. Ward, for a third time.

:04:35.:04:44.

He's in behind here, Ward. It's 2-0. It's an absolutely brilliant goal.

:04:45.:04:50.

Stephen Ward doubles Burnley's advantage with a wonderful goal. He

:04:51.:04:55.

took the free-kick, then got it back from Mee, then got it back again and

:04:56.:04:59.

suddenly he realised he was in behind and he tried his luck on his

:05:00.:05:05.

left, and he absolutely buried it. Nobody would have predicted this.

:05:06.:05:13.

It's worth recalling that Burnley won one of 21 away games in all

:05:14.:05:15.

competitions last season. Well, Chelsea had better defend this

:05:16.:05:41.

right. Defour. Free header, 3-0. Unbelievable! Sam Vokes has put

:05:42.:05:48.

Burnley in dream land. Absolutely all over the place, Chelsea. Sam

:05:49.:05:56.

Vokes, six yards out, on his head, what did they expect to happen?

:05:57.:05:59.

Chelsea 0, Burnley 3. Willian. Ghosting away from Defour. He was a

:06:00.:06:16.

bit statuesque. Brady then knocked over Willian. Brady is going to get

:06:17.:06:23.

a yellow card. A decision which earns a standing ovation for the

:06:24.:06:30.

referee. Crazier things have happened in football. But if Chelsea

:06:31.:06:34.

are going to do something remarkable in this match, they need to get on

:06:35.:06:39.

with it. It's Alonso. Good save by Heaton. It's their best effort yet.

:06:40.:06:51.

It's a good save. Well, depleted Chelsea, but they are beginning to

:06:52.:06:59.

ask a few questions of Burnley. Oh, great ball in. Fantastic ball in

:07:00.:07:07.

from Willian and Morata scores. It's Chelsea 1, Burnley 3. Scored on his

:07:08.:07:14.

debut in La Liga. Scored in his debut in Serie A. He scored on his

:07:15.:07:24.

debut in the Premier League. Alvaro Morata introduces uncertainty into

:07:25.:07:25.

Burnley minds. Willian. Oh, brilliant. Andreas Christiansen.

:07:26.:07:46.

3-2. Hold up. It's ruled out for offside, Morata I think had a touch

:07:47.:07:50.

on the line and he was off side. Have a look at this. Brilliant from

:07:51.:07:55.

Willian, again. He's definitely onside, Christensen. Look at Morata.

:07:56.:08:01.

It's going in anyway, but there's no question that Morata has touched

:08:02.:08:02.

that into the back of the net. Walters. It seemed to me he was

:08:03.:08:17.

coming back from an offside position, but nothing given. Unless

:08:18.:08:26.

I'm greatly mistaken the yellow card is coming out here for Fabregas, who

:08:27.:08:31.

has now been sent off. Fabregas is off. Chelsea are down to nine-men.

:08:32.:08:40.

Well, his first yellow card was stupid. That was for ironically

:08:41.:08:47.

applauding a decision. It put him on a tightrope and he's just fallen off

:08:48.:09:00.

it. Azpilicueta. Morata, clever. David Luiz. Well, well, well. There

:09:01.:09:09.

are two-and-a-half minutes to play. And the nine-men have made it 3-2.

:09:10.:09:17.

Clever this from Morata. Great awareness. Good finish from David

:09:18.:09:24.

Luiz. Those who were leaving have turned around in the concourses

:09:25.:09:27.

around Stamford Bridge and headed back in. It will be very interesting

:09:28.:09:32.

to see how much added time there is going to be. Long and high to Vokes

:09:33.:09:40.

of he collides with David Luiz. The referee here I think has given a

:09:41.:09:50.

yellow card to Rudiger. It's launched long and high. Well, there

:09:51.:09:55.

wasn't an awful lot in that. Well, if this goes in, it's surely all

:09:56.:09:59.

over. We are into the 90th minute of the game. It's Robbie Brady on this.

:10:00.:10:10.

He's hit the post. Brady, again, blocked by Rudiger. Hendrick. Ward.

:10:11.:10:19.

Walters. Wisely heads for the corner flag. He's lost the ball, look.

:10:20.:10:27.

Willian for Chelsea. Great excitment at the end. Well, this was so close

:10:28.:10:41.

to 4-2. Four minutes are indicated and four have been played. Good

:10:42.:10:50.

header that. Conte for Chelsea, finding Willian. Willian, dangerous.

:10:51.:10:58.

Still dangerous. Hit Morata. Went the wrong way, from Chelsea's point

:10:59.:11:01.

of view. Arfield clears. That must be it. The referee blows his

:11:02.:11:09.

whistle. The champions are beaten. Sean Dyche's Burnley have beaten

:11:10.:11:16.

Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, a Vokes double and a Stephen Ward Shot Put

:11:17.:11:21.

them three up at half-time. Chelsea reduced to nine-men when first

:11:22.:11:24.

Cahill and then Fabregas were sent off. Morata scored, Luiz scored, but

:11:25.:11:30.

they could not salvage a point. It has finished Chelsea 2, Burnley 3.

:11:31.:11:37.

What a start to the season. I think the red card was the key moment

:11:38.:11:43.

because we started the game very well with good intentions. In these

:11:44.:11:49.

moments I think that we have to improve because we lost our heads

:11:50.:11:59.

easily. I think that we have to reflect on the situation. Because if

:12:00.:12:05.

we are able to stay in the game and then anything can happen in the

:12:06.:12:07.

second-half. I don't think many would have given us a chance today.

:12:08.:12:11.

We came down here with a gameplan, you have to I think at some of these

:12:12.:12:15.

clubs. I'm not kidding anyone. The sending off made a big, big

:12:16.:12:17.

difference. We responded to it. That was the key for me. We responded to

:12:18.:12:22.

it and took the game on in a control manner, scored three good goals and

:12:23.:12:26.

had the mentality to see the game through. Do you think Cahill's card

:12:27.:12:33.

was correct or incorrect? I don't want to comment the decision of the

:12:34.:12:39.

referee. Yeah. There is only a situation that is very strange a

:12:40.:12:45.

that in the last three games, we ended the games with 10-men twice

:12:46.:12:50.

with Arsenal and today with nine-men. I think that I have to

:12:51.:12:58.

start to study a different system with only 10-men or nine players. We

:12:59.:13:04.

had a gameplan. We had been working on it all week. Huge result. We will

:13:05.:13:07.

come in on Monday and prepare for West Brom. Another huge game for us

:13:08.:13:11.

and get back to Turf Moor. It's wonderful. When will you win at

:13:12.:13:18.

home? Don't start that. Incredible game. Wonderful result of course for

:13:19.:13:25.

Burnley. Influenced, like both managers said, by decisions,

:13:26.:13:28.

particularly the Cahill sending off. Did the referee got it right? I

:13:29.:13:32.

think the referee got most of those big decisions correct. I don't want

:13:33.:13:37.

to see this tackle given a red card, but that's the law. You go high. He

:13:38.:13:43.

loses control of the ball, Gary Cahill, high, dangerous, running at

:13:44.:13:46.

Defoe for pace. The referee has a good view on it. Endangering his

:13:47.:13:51.

opponent. The referee gets it right. It's a red card. You can't have too

:13:52.:13:55.

many complaints about that at all. I don't want to see it given a red

:13:56.:13:58.

card. That is the law. It has been for a long time now, Gary. He has to

:13:59.:14:03.

get a red card. Gary knows it himself he doesn't argue with the

:14:04.:14:08.

referee. The referee is there and can see it clearly. Not gone to hurt

:14:09.:14:13.

him? It's clumsy. Fabregas here, if you show dissent like that and clap

:14:14.:14:17.

at the referee you know it's a yellow card, so why do it? He's on a

:14:18.:14:21.

yellow card already. Dives in, doesn't get the ball, he's late. It

:14:22.:14:24.

could have been given a straight red. He shows him a yellow. Another

:14:25.:14:27.

red. That is the correct decision as well. You can't diving dive in like

:14:28.:14:33.

particularly when you are on a red card. He doesn't get the ball. Gets

:14:34.:14:38.

Cork, he is late. Correct decision again, I'm afraid. Chelsea

:14:39.:14:43.

capitulated in that first half. Chelsea fans complained rightly. I

:14:44.:14:47.

think he got this right as well. They wanted something from the

:14:48.:14:50.

referee ant and weren't getting it. He takes his foot out of the

:14:51.:14:52.

challenge. Couldn't get anything. Absolutely. Burnley were terrific,

:14:53.:14:58.

weren't they? Really, it was an incredible score. They won as many

:14:59.:15:02.

away games this season as they did in the entirety of last season. You

:15:03.:15:10.

shouldn't let the sending off is a say anything about performance. They

:15:11.:15:13.

were superb. They wanted it more than Chelsea did. You would think,

:15:14.:15:17.

with Big Sam Vokes up front they might go direct when they go down to

:15:18.:15:21.

10-men. That started with the goalkeeper. Out to the if you

:15:22.:15:26.

full-back. One and two-touch. To the right hand side. Look at the one,

:15:27.:15:30.

two-touch football with. They could put it in the box. Take a uch to.

:15:31.:15:34.

Lovely ball in. David Luiz turns his back. Sam Vokes off and running for

:15:35.:15:38.

the season. Very good finish. Exactly the same thing. They could

:15:39.:15:41.

put the free-kick in from the half-way line. No, play a little

:15:42.:15:46.

one, two. One, two-touch again. Ward follows his pass. What a touch that

:15:47.:15:51.

is. Kante should do better. Into his path. One hell of a strike. Superb

:15:52.:15:56.

goal. Right hand side. They could put it in, no. They want to play

:15:57.:16:00.

football. They put it in now. No pressure on the ball. Free header,

:16:01.:16:03.

thanks very much. What a performance that was in the first 45 minutes.

:16:04.:16:06.

They dominated them. They really did. They were superb.

:16:07.:16:13.

Chelsea came back in the second half and made a change and brought Morata

:16:14.:16:19.

on, their big summer signing. Were you surprised he did not start? Very

:16:20.:16:30.

surprised. When you go down to ten men, you have got to keep hold of

:16:31.:16:35.

the ball, you have got bring your team-mates into the game. You cannot

:16:36.:16:40.

afford to do this and give it away sloppily. You have got to upset the

:16:41.:16:51.

back four. Kante is looking him to run behind. That was far too easy

:16:52.:17:00.

for that Burnley back four. The ball goes out and no questions asked. I'm

:17:01.:17:03.

surprised he lasted as long as he did. Now Morata comes on. You watch

:17:04.:17:10.

what he did. He upset the back four. Now the defenders are running

:17:11.:17:13.

towards their own goal which you do not want. He is asking difficult

:17:14.:17:18.

questions. He gets the foul, brilliant, great. For the first time

:17:19.:17:21.

in the game they are being asked questions. What a ball this is for

:17:22.:17:38.

William who was Chelsea's best player by a mile. The movement again

:17:39.:17:41.

from Morata. A fantastic header. He ran in behind, he scored his goal,

:17:42.:17:44.

he has now got an assist. If Chelsea had played like that in the first

:17:45.:17:47.

half, they might have got something out of the game. But I think there

:17:48.:17:50.

are problems at Chelsea. They definitely need more players between

:17:51.:17:52.

now and the end of August. They certainly do.

:17:53.:17:56.

You have to go back to April 1972 for Huddersfield's

:17:57.:17:58.

last top-flight game, a 0-0 draw at Crystal Palace,

:17:59.:18:00.

which is where the new boys found themselves today.

:18:01.:18:02.

Also making his Premier League debut was Palace boss Frank de Boer.

:18:03.:18:05.

David Wagner believes Huddersfield are the biggest underdogs in Premier

:18:06.:18:17.

League history. Alice said hello to a new coach and a very different

:18:18.:18:22.

style of play over the summer with Frank De Boer aiming to turn them

:18:23.:18:29.

into a more possession -based team. An ?8 million Dutch player lined up

:18:30.:18:40.

alongside Timothy Fosu-Mensah. Steve Mounie who was Montpellier's top

:18:41.:18:48.

scorer last season is one of Huddersfield's debutants.

:18:49.:18:49.

Huddersfield are back in top division action after four decades.

:18:50.:19:00.

Ince on the charge here. Good ball, good chance. It is not taken by Tom

:19:01.:19:06.

Ince. A great chance to get Huddersfield's first-ever goal in

:19:07.:19:12.

the Premier League. He won for Dutch titles in a row during his five

:19:13.:19:18.

years in charge at Ajax. He says his abilities have not been affected by

:19:19.:19:24.

being sacked after 85 days at Inter Milan.

:19:25.:19:30.

Getting away from Joel Ward and winning a corner out of Joel Ward.

:19:31.:19:46.

The delivery flicked on and touched in by Joel Ward! And Huddersfield

:19:47.:19:54.

have their first-ever goal in the Premier League. It was a good

:19:55.:20:01.

delivery from Aaron Mooy. They were queueing up at the far post. I don't

:20:02.:20:06.

think it was heading in until Joe will Ward's touch but it into his

:20:07.:20:13.

own net. It is David Wagner's first taste of managing in top division

:20:14.:20:20.

football. His side have liftoff. That is nice. A good cross in as

:20:21.:20:27.

well. And it is two! Steve Mounie on his debut for the Terriers. What a

:20:28.:20:34.

tremendous start to life in the Premier League for Huddersfield! An

:20:35.:20:44.

inch perfect cross. The marking from Palace is poor. The header is

:20:45.:20:45.

excellent. Many thought they would be teething

:20:46.:20:55.

problems with the new system Frank De Boer was going to implement today

:20:56.:21:03.

but that is not the case. Along to Benteke, flicked it is aha. Wilfried

:21:04.:21:10.

Zaha could be in. The best chance for Palace all afternoon and

:21:11.:21:13.

Wilfried Zaha cannot take it. He thinks it is a corner. I thought he

:21:14.:21:20.

just poked it wide. Actually, it was a good save from the Danish keeper.

:21:21.:21:29.

Palace do not get a corner for it. Mounie on the scene for

:21:30.:21:34.

Huddersfield. Two Huddersfield players went for it. Hennessy saves.

:21:35.:21:46.

Mounie can't tuck away the rebound. The first chance of the second half

:21:47.:21:50.

goes to Huddersfield. Hennessy parrying it straight to Mounie.

:21:51.:22:00.

Loftus cheek. Poked into Townsend and Benteke somehow fails to take

:22:01.:22:10.

the chance. 17 goals for Palace last season, should perhaps have got off

:22:11.:22:12.

the mark this afternoon. Wilfried Zaha, he got away. A good

:22:13.:22:38.

challenge from Chris Lerner. The fans are doing their best to keep

:22:39.:22:47.

the team going. There is the header. Christian Benteke a denied. Whipped

:22:48.:22:51.

in by Van Aanholt. Mounie through. It could be three

:22:52.:23:18.

bit Timothy Fosu-Mensah comes to Palace and Scott Dann's rescue.

:23:19.:23:26.

Mounie dispossessed by the man on loan from Manchester United. That

:23:27.:23:29.

would have been curtains for Palace, surely? Ward was loitering. He was

:23:30.:23:47.

in the right place for the Terriers. Timothy Fosu-Mensah was waiting.

:23:48.:23:55.

What a chance for Palace. That should have been Palace back in the

:23:56.:24:02.

game. Huddersfield owner and chairman Dean Hoyle said reality

:24:03.:24:06.

would only set in for him this afternoon. The way the game has

:24:07.:24:09.

gone, it must still feel like a dream. Mounie! All over now. Three

:24:10.:24:26.

for Huddersfield. And a dream start to their Premier League chapter.

:24:27.:24:34.

Quite incredible. 45 years away from the top flight, and they are back

:24:35.:24:39.

with a bang. And it was banged into the back of the net by Steve Mounie.

:24:40.:24:51.

Huddersfield or up and running in the Premier League at the first time

:24:52.:25:01.

of asking, and in some style. Three goals, three points and a clean

:25:02.:25:04.

sheet on their return to the big time. We were clinical today. Our

:25:05.:25:16.

goalkeeper was outstanding and we had the right fighting and

:25:17.:25:21.

togetherness to be successful, even if we have to be honest, the result

:25:22.:25:27.

shows not how the game was, because Palace had the best chances as well

:25:28.:25:30.

and we were in some situations lucky. But in the end we will take

:25:31.:25:35.

this result the sure and I think the performance was good for the first

:25:36.:25:39.

game in the Premier League. We started quite well and after ten

:25:40.:25:45.

minutes we did not play good enough technical wise. To do the things

:25:46.:25:51.

that we spoke about. And in 50 minutes we lose the game. It is

:25:52.:25:58.

amazing and amazing also for the team. We did a good game and this

:25:59.:26:07.

victory is good for the club and all my team-mates. We have now played

:26:08.:26:13.

one game, the first Premier League game ever in the club history so we

:26:14.:26:19.

will not make one mistake and look too far ahead. So we try now to

:26:20.:26:23.

recover as good as we can and then we start the week and try and

:26:24.:26:27.

prepare as good as he can again for the next home game. The next will be

:26:28.:26:33.

against Newcastle and we will show what we can get out of the next

:26:34.:26:40.

game. Yes, what a start for Huddersfield Town. One thing they

:26:41.:26:45.

promoted sides like as a goal-scorer, someone who can

:26:46.:26:47.

consistently put the ball in the back of the net but they have that.

:26:48.:26:55.

Gas, and a team that looks willing to work. If they continue like this

:26:56.:26:59.

they will be OK. They were closing down Benteke. And Wilfried Zaha. He

:27:00.:27:10.

has got an eye for the goal. Palace, easy throw, too much space for the

:27:11.:27:14.

Huddersfield player on the ball. Ward doesn't know whether to come

:27:15.:27:19.

inside there. When you look outside the box you look at Mounie, he can

:27:20.:27:26.

see the ball coming across. He doesn't even get off the floor, read

:27:27.:27:33.

a file. Easy goal. This was one I was very surprised about because

:27:34.:27:37.

this is what he will need to do. He needs to latch onto that, take that

:27:38.:27:43.

touch out onto his right foot. This was the second goal, terrible play

:27:44.:27:52.

from Crystal Palace. It reminds me of the old days. Tompkins has got to

:27:53.:27:57.

get across. That is where the danger is, where Mounie is. He doesn't get

:27:58.:28:01.

across. If he had got across he would have been there. Two goals on

:28:02.:28:07.

his debut, brilliant stuff. A record signing. He cost ?11 million from

:28:08.:28:13.

Montpellier, 14 league goals last season, that is one less than the

:28:14.:28:22.

wonder kid Killie in back pay. What about Huddersfield's game plan? It

:28:23.:28:31.

worked, didn't it? Did work. Palace is a squad shaped by Sam Allardyce.

:28:32.:28:37.

Huddersfield, they want to depress tight on Wilfried Zaha and Benteke.

:28:38.:28:47.

They knew Benteke was the danger man. Bass was a sloppy -- this was a

:28:48.:28:55.

sloppy pass. Tom Ince caused all sorts of problems on the left-hand

:28:56.:29:01.

side and cleared it. Scott Dann again. The pressure on Wilfried

:29:02.:29:06.

Zaha. But was what it was like all day. You have got Benteke. You know

:29:07.:29:11.

he is probably going to win the ball if it is around him. Wilfried Zaha

:29:12.:29:20.

is on the move. We know he has got the skill to do that but

:29:21.:29:24.

Loftus-Cheek, who had a good game at Palace today. Palace I believe are

:29:25.:29:36.

capable of trying to play this expansive football. They will have

:29:37.:29:41.

to get used to it quickly. It might take them a bit of time and patience

:29:42.:29:46.

required. But if Huddersfield are causing problems, you know what

:29:47.:29:52.

other teams will do. Palace have got danger mouse in their side!

:29:53.:29:55.

Six games and a lot of goals still to come.

:29:56.:30:05.

MUSIC: 'Love Me More' by Chase Status

:30:06.:30:22.

Liverpool's trip to Watford was overshadowed by yesterday's

:30:23.:30:24.

transfer request from Brazilian midfielder, Philippe Coutinho.

:30:25.:30:27.

No such worries for the home side, who were led out for the first

:30:28.:30:30.

time by new manager, Marco Silva.

:30:31.:30:32.

COMMENTATOR: After the distraction off the pitch, Liverpool go in

:30:33.:30:47.

search of of a positive start on it. An opening weekend Premier League

:30:48.:30:51.

win will damp Silva's first game in charge. Chalobah is the only new

:30:52.:31:02.

face to start. Both their record signing Andre Gray are among the

:31:03.:31:07.

substitutes. Coutinho is missing due to a back injury. Sturridge is also

:31:08.:31:13.

out. There is a debut for Salah. A first standard since mid February

:31:14.:31:21.

for captain Jordan Hernedson. Watford who have never won an

:31:22.:31:25.

opening fixture in the Premier League. They would certainly like

:31:26.:31:31.

some headlines straightaway if they were to do so today. Quickly closed

:31:32.:31:36.

down. Watford have it back. Here is the Italian. Excellent work from him

:31:37.:31:44.

towards Pereyra. Still Pereyra. Desperate defending in the end from

:31:45.:31:50.

Lovren. A Watford corner. Lovely close control. Important block in

:31:51.:31:54.

the end from the Croatian. First corner of the game is Watford's.

:31:55.:32:01.

Holebas with the left foot. Gone across to deliver this. Watford in

:32:02.:32:14.

front. What a start for Marco Silva and his new club. Okaka with the

:32:15.:32:23.

goal. Fantastic delivery. Look at Okaka no-one picked him up. Same old

:32:24.:32:28.

questions defensively for Liverpool. Watford 1, Liverpool 0. He will be

:32:29.:32:33.

aware that none of Watford's ever six managers have lasted more than

:32:34.:32:46.

one season in charge. Have you to go back quite a bit in time. Back from

:32:47.:32:53.

Morena. So many Watford shirts back there. Well-worked from Liverpool.

:32:54.:33:00.

It's Mane. It's brilliant. It's 1-1. Joint top-scorer in the Premier

:33:01.:33:03.

League last season, he's got them level on the first day of this

:33:04.:33:08.

season. The first time Liverpool have put any kind of passing

:33:09.:33:11.

movement together. It results in a goal. Fantastic finish from the

:33:12.:33:18.

Senegal international. Watford 1, Liverpool 1. Cleverley. Amrabat,

:33:19.:33:34.

away from Moreno. Has support from Firmino should he need it. She chose

:33:35.:33:38.

not to take that option. Watford do get the throw. -- he chose not to

:33:39.:33:47.

take that option. Watford do get the throw. Space now for Cleverley in

:33:48.:33:57.

towards Okaka. Doucoure. Watford back in front. The Frenchman with

:33:58.:34:04.

just his second goal for the club. He restores their lead. Once again,

:34:05.:34:11.

it's a goal Liverpool will not be happy with. Doucoure swept it home.

:34:12.:34:21.

Liverpool are complaining about this second goal. Let's look at the role

:34:22.:34:26.

of Okaka in it. Offside there. Obviously not active. Then he's

:34:27.:34:30.

onside when the ball goes towards him. That's what the officials will

:34:31.:34:37.

argue. Liverpool trying to retrieve the deficit for the second time

:34:38.:34:41.

already. That's come through to Salah. He may be able to do so here.

:34:42.:34:46.

Liverpool's club record signing will know he should have done bat better.

:34:47.:34:52.

Holebas will be relieved. He went with his left foot. He was always

:34:53.:35:02.

getting underneath it. Can. Firmino's touch is a brilliant one.

:35:03.:35:08.

Can Salah get there? Anthony Taylor waited. He is waiting for his

:35:09.:35:16.

assistant on the far side. He points to the spot. Gomes, who is always

:35:17.:35:23.

committed. Salah got there first, penalty kick. Liverpool have the

:35:24.:35:31.

opportunity to draw level. Gomes is up against his fellow Brazilian,

:35:32.:35:37.

Roberto Firmino for Liverpool. Liverpool are level for the second

:35:38.:35:41.

time today. Sent him the wrong way. Watford 2, Liverpool 2. Lifted

:35:42.:35:53.

forward by Lovren. Gomes came a long way. Firmino. Salah got there.

:35:54.:35:59.

Liverpool, in the link blink of an eye have gone from 2-1 down to

:36:00.:36:04.

leading 3-2. Their club record signing has put them in front with a

:36:05.:36:10.

debut goal. Well, it was a long ball forward from Lovren. Firmino is

:36:11.:36:15.

onside. It was a wonderful first touch. His second was met by Salah.

:36:16.:36:22.

And, for the first time in the game, Liverpool lead. And Firmino, in the

:36:23.:36:26.

last five minutes, has been a vocal point. Two goals, in two minutes.

:36:27.:36:34.

It's turned this game in Liverpool's favour. Moreno. He might have a go.

:36:35.:36:43.

Needed dealing with by Gomes. Fell invitingly for the Spaniard here.

:36:44.:36:53.

Useful finger tips from Gomes. Alexander-Arnold with a corner. Well

:36:54.:36:58.

met, by Matip I think. Liverpool close to a fourth. It was Matip,

:36:59.:37:04.

came off his shoulder. Gomes was beaten. So far it's been his usual

:37:05.:37:13.

roller-coaster ride. Off the head of Matip.

:37:14.:37:22.

Foul by Gomes. Watford free-kick. Watford will certainly feel that

:37:23.:37:31.

they can test Liverpool here. All the cavalry are forward. Two minutes

:37:32.:37:38.

of the five to add on. In from Holebas. Kaboul jumping. Moreno

:37:39.:37:47.

clearing. Back from Firmino. Doucoure won it. Then Britos. Beaten

:37:48.:37:55.

away by Mignolet. Watford corner. The defender caught this well.

:37:56.:38:01.

Matched by Mignolet. Holebas bass with the Watford dorn corner. Oh, it

:38:02.:38:07.

still hasn't gone away. And it's gone in! Britos claiming it. An

:38:08.:38:13.

extraordinary goal and an extraordinary end to this crazy

:38:14.:38:18.

game. Watford celebrate. Jurgen Klopp can't believe it. It looked as

:38:19.:38:27.

though Wijnaldum had dealt with it. Britos, in off Mignolet's arm. He

:38:28.:38:35.

just headed it over the line and Marco Silva, in his first game in

:38:36.:38:39.

charge, will have something to show for their efforts. Is he onside? You

:38:40.:38:46.

could argue that Britos is standing in an offside position. Either way,

:38:47.:38:50.

Liverpool should be dealing with that a. How do you reflect on that?

:38:51.:39:01.

Good. Not too good in a few moments. Unlucky in the end. Getting the

:39:02.:39:07.

equaliser, which was offside. How I thought. Which is obvious because

:39:08.:39:12.

the linesman is really in this line, he needs to see this. OK, we cannot

:39:13.:39:18.

change it any more. Jong Un lucky. Did you feel you were offside No, I

:39:19.:39:23.

don't think. I was in the same line when he kicked the ball. I don't

:39:24.:39:27.

know I have to see the clip. I think I was in the right position. I think

:39:28.:39:31.

it's a fair result, really. Like we played the first half, very good

:39:32.:39:36.

first half our team. Good intensity like I want. Like I prepare our team

:39:37.:39:41.

as well to play. Like we play face-to-face with a very good team,

:39:42.:39:48.

like Liverpool is. The first 25 minutes of the second-half. Every

:39:49.:39:53.

Liverpool fan wants to know, any news

:39:54.:40:04.

on the situation? That will be a no then. Familiar failings for

:40:05.:40:11.

Liverpool. Defending set-pieces. Time after time last season we sat

:40:12.:40:16.

here saying how poor Liverpool are at defending set-pieces. I don't

:40:17.:40:19.

know what they have done in pre-season clearly they haven't

:40:20.:40:22.

worked on it. The same things happening again. Kaboul and Okaka

:40:23.:40:30.

attacking the balle. Matip, Firmino and Lovren their setup is wrong.

:40:31.:40:34.

When you play zonal marking you have to have players prepared to attack

:40:35.:40:36.

the ball and head the ball. Liverpool haven't. That is quite

:40:37.:40:43.

clear. Quite clear completely. Win win's body shape is wrong. Four guys

:40:44.:40:48.

who don't want to head it and can't head it. Same situation last season.

:40:49.:40:54.

This is from that throw-in. Simple, schoolboy stuff. Henderson Mane ball

:40:55.:41:03.

watching. Morena pinned by Amrabat. Past Henderson, past Mane, into the

:41:04.:41:06.

box. They are all over the place. Simple tap-in from a throw-in. If

:41:07.:41:10.

you thought the first corner was bad, have a look at the defending on

:41:11.:41:15.

this one. Yes, there is an argument for offside. Very tight. Wadge

:41:16.:41:20.

wadge, what is he doing? It doesn't hurt you if you stick your head on

:41:21.:41:28.

that. It doesn't hurt, I promise. Simple header. You have to deal with

:41:29.:41:31.

those things. It's tight and offside. Britos who sticks it in is

:41:32.:41:36.

impacting the goalkeeper from getting it. It should never have got

:41:37.:41:42.

there in the first place. They desperately need leaders in there to

:41:43.:41:45.

organise. Their zonal marking isn't working for them, Gary. Clearly not.

:41:46.:41:49.

First game in charge for Marco Silva. Well, a lot of positives,

:41:50.:41:54.

especially going forward? Absolutely. Okaka looks like a real

:41:55.:41:58.

problem. We highlighted him last season. He is one of those players

:41:59.:42:03.

with a big physical presence. He can stay up top against you or drop into

:42:04.:42:07.

that area of uncertainty and play passes like this into people. A

:42:08.:42:12.

great block from Lovren in the end. He goes right up against Lovren. His

:42:13.:42:17.

strength, he was too strong for them. They couldn't deal with him. I

:42:18.:42:21.

was surprised they didn't utilise even more. They just don't deal with

:42:22.:42:27.

him. At om some stages during this gay he is unplayable. Nuisance

:42:28.:42:34.

value. Jurgen Klopp may have talked about this. A lot of people are

:42:35.:42:38.

saying this was offand he is offside. In there and causing all

:42:39.:42:41.

sorts of problems for Liverpool in there. They get the goal. I can't

:42:42.:42:46.

understand why they have taken him off? I can't understand unless he's

:42:47.:42:56.

injured. You have Andre Gray Danger Mouse. Penfold! Jurgen Klopp was

:42:57.:43:13.

miffed by the player situation? He doesn't want to be there. Barcelona

:43:14.:43:16.

have a lot of players they can go for. You don't want to miss that

:43:17.:43:23.

opportunity. And spare cash. Absolutely.

:43:24.:43:26.

The top level of English football kicked off on a Friday night

:43:27.:43:29.

for the first time in its 129 year history as Arsenal played host

:43:30.:43:32.

COMMENTATOR: Arsenal broke their transfer record over the summer,

:43:33.:43:38.

splashing out the best part of ?50 million an Alexandre Lacazette. A

:43:39.:43:42.

goalscoring machine in his time with Lyon. McGuire impressed. He has

:43:43.:43:56.

another chance in the Premier League with Leicester. Iheanacho only fit

:43:57.:44:09.

for the bench tonight. Arsenal have an unwelcome habit in recent seasons

:44:10.:44:12.

of getting off to a poor start on opening day. Their record against

:44:13.:44:16.

Leicester bodes well. Ten wins in a row at home in the Premier League.

:44:17.:44:26.

Now our many. The header is in. What a start for lack is that! What a

:44:27.:44:36.

start for Arsenal's record signing and the man who cost them ?46.5

:44:37.:44:45.

million, Alexandre Lacazette with his first touch in the Premier

:44:46.:44:55.

League puts Arsenal in front. Alexandre Lacazette buries it beyond

:44:56.:44:58.

the despairing dive of Kasper Schmeichel.

:44:59.:45:12.

Figs with a dangerous ball in. This has been a bright response from

:45:13.:45:22.

Leicester since going behind to that Lacazette header. Leicester have

:45:23.:45:27.

players over here. Okazaki. Leicester level. Shinji Okazaki

:45:28.:45:36.

draws us level with less than five minutes gone at the Emirates. A deep

:45:37.:45:44.

ball in and Maguire was one of two Leicester players over at the back

:45:45.:45:51.

post. Maguire put it back into the area and asked one of his team-mates

:45:52.:45:57.

to and the Japanese International duly obliges. A pained expression on

:45:58.:46:02.

the face of Arsene Wenger. Albrighton pounces. Vardy and

:46:03.:46:08.

Okazaki are in there. What they bowl Bardi could not miss. What a cross

:46:09.:46:14.

from Albrighton and Leicester City take the lead through Jamie Vardy.

:46:15.:46:22.

Albrighton's ball in. If you see a better one all season, it will be

:46:23.:46:30.

magnificent. Arsenal again going to flood their lines at home on the

:46:31.:46:36.

opening day of the season? Mahrez could not bring it away. Monreal

:46:37.:46:47.

steps in. Lacazette could not get the shot away but Welbeck will!

:46:48.:46:53.

Arsenal level. Leicester are appealing for offside but the flag

:46:54.:46:59.

stays down. It will count, it is 2-2. Leicester thought they got it

:47:00.:47:03.

away. Lacazette with power in the shot. Welbeck could slide it home.

:47:04.:47:13.

Right on the stroke of half-time Arsenal draw level.

:47:14.:47:29.

Mahrez for Leicester. He gets the shot away will stop Mahrez with a

:47:30.:47:42.

corner. Vardy gets to it and Leicester City lead again. Leicester

:47:43.:47:52.

have probed and probed again all evening at Arsenal's vulnerability

:47:53.:47:59.

from set pieces. There was nobody in a red and white shirt close enough

:48:00.:48:00.

to Jamie Vardy. It is all happening again for the

:48:01.:48:09.

Frenchman. Some? About whether Mesut Ozil could

:48:10.:48:31.

have been called act therefore a possible handball. And they are in.

:48:32.:48:42.

It is Ramsey who levels it at 3-3. It was such an intelligent ball from

:48:43.:48:48.

granite Dzeko. Leicester thought they had cleared the danger with

:48:49.:48:54.

Morgan's header. What a finish from Aaron Ramsey. 3-3 with seven minutes

:48:55.:49:03.

to go. It would be a brave man who would call the winner of this one

:49:04.:49:11.

now. Real confidence among the Arsenal fans now and why not? It is

:49:12.:49:17.

Lacazette with a chance to win it. Schmeichel got something on that.

:49:18.:49:21.

What a vital save from Kasper Schmeichel. To read. It is in! --

:49:22.:49:35.

Olivier Giroud. 4-3, Arsenal. It is the two subs that Arsene Wenger

:49:36.:49:41.

threw want to have found the net. First, Ramsay, and now Olivier

:49:42.:49:47.

Giroud got off so well. And off the crossbar and in. 4-3 Arsenal. What

:49:48.:49:54.

an incredible start to the new Premier League season. I think it

:49:55.:50:01.

was a cracker of a game, a top quality game. Played at a very high

:50:02.:50:06.

pace will stop in defence we could do better but overall I believe it

:50:07.:50:11.

was a top quality game. We knew we had to be compact, disciplined. I

:50:12.:50:14.

thought we were a threat and I thought we contributed to a really

:50:15.:50:19.

entertaining game, but from our point of view, bitterly disappointed

:50:20.:50:25.

to come away with nothing. Suggestions of a possible handball

:50:26.:50:30.

from Mesut Ozil. Have you seen it? I have, it is not possible, it is a

:50:31.:50:35.

definite handball. Does this give you more confidence about the season

:50:36.:50:39.

ahead? Of course. I am convinced these kind of games can strengthen

:50:40.:50:48.

the belief and when you are in difficult situations you are

:50:49.:50:51.

reminded that we have done it before and we can do it again. It was quite

:50:52.:50:54.

again, apart from the last seven minutes which were awful! The rest

:50:55.:50:58.

of was brilliant. Arsenal, what did you make of them? I thought they

:50:59.:51:02.

showed great character in the way they came back and it was a

:51:03.:51:09.

magnificent header from Giroud which won it for them. Leicester

:51:10.:51:13.

identified a weakness in the Arsenal defence. I know they had big players

:51:14.:51:18.

out injured like Mertesacker and Koscielny, but what what they did it

:51:19.:51:21.

every opportunity was they threw balls into the box and good balls.

:51:22.:51:26.

Balls which caused them problems. To slow out, a good header back. Look

:51:27.:51:32.

at Okazaki, he wants it more than three players. It was a very, very

:51:33.:51:37.

good header. But Albrighton. This is a dream of a ball for any centre

:51:38.:51:43.

forward. Jamie Vardy who I thought was superb, full of energy, again,

:51:44.:51:48.

zonal marking. Look where he starts from, Jamie Vardy. He gets in

:51:49.:51:52.

between all of the players and he wants it more than any of them. It

:51:53.:51:56.

is an excellent header. That is what Leicester did all night. Not a bad

:51:57.:52:04.

ball in from Mahrez. Okazaki gets in there again this time. A good

:52:05.:52:10.

header. Great character from Arsenal to come back in the way that they

:52:11.:52:15.

did. Ian, aside from the three points obviously which is a massive

:52:16.:52:20.

bonus from Arsenal, anything to encourage youth from the season

:52:21.:52:27.

ahead? I liked Bush on Iraq and Lacazette. When you see the goals,

:52:28.:52:37.

they could be avoided. With Arsenal, what they are capable of going

:52:38.:52:40.

forward, if they could tighten it up, I've been saying for many years,

:52:41.:52:45.

if they could tighten it up Arsenal will cause people problems. OK.

:52:46.:52:49.

Match of the Day 2 is back with two games.

:52:50.:53:02.

He puts it away! What a special strike!

:53:03.:53:09.

There's commentary of both matches on 5 Live and the BBC Sport website.

:53:10.:53:13.

Match of the Day 2 Extra provides the warm-up from 12.15pm.

:53:14.:53:15.

The final day of the World Athletics gets under way on BBC Two at 1.00pm.

:53:16.:53:20.

The final round of the US PGA begins at 7.00pm on the Red Button and then

:53:21.:53:25.

Don't forget, you can watch Match of Day on the move via the website.

:53:26.:53:31.

If you missed the start of the show, it's available now on the iPlayer

:53:32.:53:34.

or catch up on the whole programme from Monday morning.

:53:35.:53:51.

I suppose it is back to the future tonight. Match of the Day returning

:53:52.:54:01.

on a regular basis. It is over the head of Lukic and it

:54:02.:54:03.

has gone in! Of Shearer! And it has gone into

:54:04.:54:26.

ease the ?3.5 million price tag. I did not set the price tag. He has

:54:27.:54:31.

set his standard so high they will be expecting that every week. Great

:54:32.:54:37.

goals but what does Alan Shearer think about using the name Alan

:54:38.:54:43.

Shearer in the third person?! Let's move on!

:54:44.:54:47.

Time for our first visit to the 56th ground to host

Newly promoted Brighton, back in the top flight

:54:51.:54:53.

for the first time in 34 years, welcomed title favourites

:54:54.:54:55.

Brighton welcomes Premier League football after near extinction. Now

:54:56.:55:10.

they face Manchester City title favourites aren't they one. And they

:55:11.:55:22.

have some summer signings. City's signings cost more than the Brighton

:55:23.:55:27.

is quite and the stadium. Edison, Walker and Danny low start. -- demi-

:55:28.:55:33.

low -- Danny low. It has all been Manchester City in

:55:34.:55:47.

possession. They have been dominant without creating.

:55:48.:56:00.

A problem here. He said hamstring. As he chased there, he pulled up. He

:56:01.:56:10.

immediately felt the back of his leg will stop.

:56:11.:56:23.

It glanced through towards the far post area. So close to going into

:56:24.:56:36.

his own net. Brighton's buoyant enthusiasm on day one. This is a gay

:56:37.:56:40.

Manchester City will be expected to win. -- this is a gamer they will be

:56:41.:56:54.

expected to win. Jesus scored. He is down hurt. Lovely ball, beautifully

:56:55.:57:04.

run, well timed. It was off his chest and his arm. The correct

:57:05.:57:13.

decision made by the referee. Aguero is there. People sit back to Gabriel

:57:14.:57:19.

Jesus. A tremendous save. It flicked the outside of the post from the

:57:20.:57:26.

rebound. Really good reactions from Brighton's goalkeeper Matthew Ryan.

:57:27.:57:37.

Aguero in the penalty area joined by Gabriel Jesus. Fernandinho will hit

:57:38.:57:47.

it from there. He looks for the run of Silva. Beautifully done. Gabriel

:57:48.:57:53.

Jesus, offside, went count. -- won't count. That was marginal, you know.

:57:54.:58:04.

It is marginal. Twice the ball has been in the back of the Brighton

:58:05.:58:06.

net. Duffy has given it back. Aguero, and

:58:07.:58:19.

a brilliant challenge save from Lewis Dunk. It was a wretched

:58:20.:58:24.

finish. Duffy got his feet all wrong. A short backpass. He didn't

:58:25.:58:30.

even see Lewis Dunk coming. He might have done at the end but it was a

:58:31.:58:37.

terrible finish from Sergio Aguero. Manchester City are stretched. He

:58:38.:58:54.

has no support, he has to do it alone. He sensibly checks back and

:58:55.:59:01.

waits for blue and white shirts to arrive. A sweeping cross. The

:59:02.:59:08.

goalkeeper was a No Man's Land. It is a corner. The challenge of the

:59:09.:59:11.

far side wins Brighton the first corner of the game. Dunk wearing

:59:12.:59:19.

five, Duffy wearing 22. Lewis Dunk was in there. They are still on

:59:20.:59:25.

site. A shot by Duffy. Just deflected wide. Look at the

:59:26.:59:33.

Manchester City bodies back there. They still could not stop the shot

:59:34.:59:35.

on their goal. Ten minutes into the second-half.

:59:36.:59:44.

Out comes the goalkeeper. It slipped through his fingers. Blocked.

:59:45.:59:55.

Blocked. Unconvincing goalkeeping. Should have got that. Team-mate in

:59:56.:00:00.

the way. Thankfully, for Manchester City there were other team-mates

:00:01.:00:05.

there to block. They have worked so hard to stay in the game. Do they

:00:06.:00:09.

have enough energy to remain in the game? Stevens off balance. Aguero

:00:10.:00:18.

makes the run. A chance here for Manchester City to win it. Aguero

:00:19.:00:26.

made sure this time. Error by Stevens, who lost the ball. Once

:00:27.:00:29.

Manchester City have numbers over, they were in on goal so quickly. So

:00:30.:00:34.

clinically they go-ahead. Got his feet wrong, his balance wrong,

:00:35.:00:38.

dispossessed. Aguero makes the run. Stays onside. The pass by Silva yas

:00:39.:00:44.

astute. The finish was clinical. How many times overs the years have we

:00:45.:00:50.

seen promoted teams come up, work so hard and punished by an individual

:00:51.:00:55.

error. De Bruyne. Silva with the run. What a game he's had. It just

:00:56.:01:00.

wouldn't come to the head of Firmino. -- Fernandinho. Aguero.

:01:01.:01:11.

Muscles inside the challenge. He's still going, Aguero. Nicked off

:01:12.:01:21.

Dunk. Fernandinho with the cross. It's an own-goal off Dunk. They have

:01:22.:01:25.

the points on opening day Manchester City. They were made to work really

:01:26.:01:29.

hard for it. Crossed back into the middle. Dunk powered it past his

:01:30.:01:35.

keeper. Oh, could Ryan have done better. Slipped slip through his

:01:36.:01:39.

hand. Manchester City have the second goal. That is all they care

:01:40.:01:43.

about. They have come up from the Championship, their tales tails are

:01:44.:01:47.

up. They had a gameplan that worked really well. We had to be patient

:01:48.:01:51.

and stick to how we like to play football and what we want to do this

:01:52.:01:55.

season. We got the rewards at the end of it. There is one way to play

:01:56.:01:59.

against a Manchester City team with the quality they have got. I thought

:02:00.:02:02.

we did ever so well. I think if we don't concede the first one, I don't

:02:03.:02:07.

think we concede the second one. Disappointing, but that's the

:02:08.:02:11.

quality that they've got. Tough game, tough introduction to the

:02:12.:02:14.

Premier League. We know we will not be facing that every week. We will

:02:15.:02:17.

focus on the next game and look forward to it. The first game for

:02:18.:02:23.

the way they play quite similar level in terms of the ball. We will

:02:24.:02:26.

improve. We will improve the next days away. We have to attack and

:02:27.:02:32.

this kind of defence. Stoic effort from Brighton. Interesting line from

:02:33.:02:37.

Chris Houghton if we don't concede the first they won't get the second.

:02:38.:02:40.

I kind of agree with. Manchester City wore them down in the end. Too

:02:41.:02:44.

much for them? Ever They have come up against the best team in the

:02:45.:02:48.

Premier League. When you have people like Silva in those little areas and

:02:49.:02:53.

De Bruyne they will go all day like this. You have to give Brighton

:02:54.:03:01.

credit they had 4-4-2, they did Wellens. They are a different level.

:03:02.:03:06.

Bam, he he hases to score there. Silva, De Bruyne, the class the

:03:07.:03:09.

touches, it was too much for them in the end. They couldn't battle it any

:03:10.:03:13.

more. This one I was surprised he didn't finish this off with his

:03:14.:03:16.

record in opening Premier League games. Got tired and mistakes keep

:03:17.:03:21.

in. That happens here. De Bruyne ready to bounce, bam. Mistake, they

:03:22.:03:26.

are aware. Aguero gone. This pass here, perfectly timed. There it is.

:03:27.:03:30.

That's the finish. That is the inevitable outcome for them. After

:03:31.:03:35.

that it was always a problem for them because they had done so well

:03:36.:03:40.

to go that long, holding them out. In the end, Dunk, who had a

:03:41.:03:45.

fantastic game. Super cross from Fernandinho when it comes to him.

:03:46.:03:49.

Caught himself on the wrong side of Jesus. Made himself a nuisance. They

:03:50.:03:54.

get the goal. Unfortunately for them they lose. I think they will go be

:03:55.:03:59.

all right if they can work that hard against teams. I like the way City

:04:00.:04:02.

was set up today with the two up front. We thought that he might play

:04:03.:04:09.

the Aguero. With him playing two up there they worked well together.

:04:10.:04:12.

They were positive. I'm sure if he continues to play that way, both

:04:13.:04:16.

those players could be looking at least 20 goals a season for both of

:04:17.:04:22.

them. He turns things around a bit. City, favourites for the title?

:04:23.:04:29.

Between the Manchester clubs. I will go with Manchester United. What

:04:30.:04:32.

about you? City. All right. That is all right, you are entitled to.

:04:33.:04:36.

To Goodison Park next, where all eyes were on Wayne Rooney's return

:04:37.:04:39.

to Everton after 13 years at Manchester United.

:04:40.:04:41.

Stoke the visitors, as they kicked off their tenth straight season

:04:42.:04:43.

COMMENTATOR: A second debut for Wayne Rooney, but a first Everton

:04:44.:04:53.

appearance for four others in the team including Britain's most

:04:54.:04:57.

expensive goalkeeper, Jordan Pickford, signed from Sunderland.

:04:58.:05:02.

His opposite number and potential England World Cup rival stroke

:05:03.:05:06.

colleague, Jack Butland is like a new signing for Stoke having missed

:05:07.:05:16.

nearly all season injured. Berahino has yet to score for the club, he

:05:17.:05:24.

must feel like a new boy. Berahino, goes in well to win the ball from

:05:25.:05:30.

Allen. Good use of the ball, too. Calvert-Lewin wide. Rooney down the

:05:31.:05:34.

middle. Going for goal. It's on target. Nicely smothered by Jack

:05:35.:05:39.

Butland. There is one for the tally chart. A shot on target from an

:05:40.:05:47.

Everton player. Ronald Koeman rubished the idea that Everton have

:05:48.:05:51.

been big spending this summer. There has been a net spend of around ?7

:05:52.:05:57.

million. Their biggest deal is yet to come, potentially. Will

:05:58.:06:01.

Sigurdsson make the move from swan specifically sea to Goodison Park?

:06:02.:06:12.

Bsh Park? -- Swansea to Goodison Park. Everton's defenders were

:06:13.:06:22.

trying to guess where he was going. The Mark Hughes hasn't seen his side

:06:23.:06:26.

win in his last half a dozen Premier League opening day games, whether

:06:27.:06:36.

with Stoke, QPR or Fulham. Gueye. One additional minute at the end of

:06:37.:06:40.

a first half that has been uninspiring. Rooney. Guey finds

:06:41.:06:48.

Sandro. He feeds Calvert-Lewin. Nice ball in. It's Rooney! Written in the

:06:49.:07:02.

stars. We know the name. We kind of knew it would happen today, too.

:07:03.:07:10.

It's undoubtedly the best bit of quality that we've seen all half.

:07:11.:07:13.

It's come at the very end of the half. It's a peach of a cross from

:07:14.:07:21.

Calvert-Lewin. Rooney read it and then just guided the ball back past

:07:22.:07:28.

Jack Butland. It's his first Everton gone since the 13th April 2004. It's

:07:29.:07:36.

made it Everton 1, Stoke City 0. A win on opening day would be

:07:37.:07:38.

everything for Everton, who have drawn their first game of the season

:07:39.:07:48.

in all the last four years. Shaqiri. Cameron. Now Pieters. Pieters teases

:07:49.:07:56.

one across. Diouf couldn't get there. Everton were a man light in

:07:57.:08:01.

that Stoke attack because Leighton Baines went down and stayed down as

:08:02.:08:05.

the Potters pressed. I think there is a little bit of afters in that

:08:06.:08:10.

from Shaqiri. The way that Baines bumped him off the ball. Wouldn't

:08:11.:08:16.

roll for Shaqiri. Cleared by Baines. Rooney on the ball now. Sandro

:08:17.:08:21.

peeled to the left. Calvert-Lewin down through the middle.

:08:22.:08:26.

Calvert-Lewin, stopped from getting the chance to shoot or find Sandro

:08:27.:08:36.

by a brilliant Zouma tackle. A long way to go before Everton can

:08:37.:08:47.

consider this one. Rooney has it. They didn't keep it. Berahino.

:08:48.:08:53.

Fletcher. It was driven nicely. Just the wrong side of the post though.

:08:54.:09:01.

Stoke are shaping themselves to get back into this game now. Rooney.

:09:02.:09:10.

Zouma got to it, had to. Sandro behind him. Zouma. Dispossessed by

:09:11.:09:23.

Calvert-Lewin. Calvert-Lewin goes for goal. Wayne Rooney drops his

:09:24.:09:28.

head because he knew he was in just the right place for the pullback,

:09:29.:09:35.

which never came. I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin felt he was entitled

:09:36.:09:44.

to have a go at goal. Gueye loses it. We haven't said that too often

:09:45.:09:50.

today. Choupo-Moting takes on Schneiderlin. Shaqiri. Are big gap

:09:51.:09:56.

appears for him. Great save, Jordan Pickford. He's been as solid as a

:09:57.:10:04.

whole row of houses all day. He saved his best until last. He's not

:10:05.:10:09.

had a particularly busy day today, but he's kept Stoke out. Everton get

:10:10.:10:14.

off to a winning start in the Premier League. Of Wayne Rooney has

:10:15.:10:23.

his dream homecoming. We scored a great goal. We kept a clean sheet.

:10:24.:10:30.

That's all positive, but we need to improve a lot and that's the

:10:31.:10:35.

conclusion out of this afternoon. I didn't see a great deal of

:10:36.:10:39.

difference in the two sides today. I thought we were evenly matched. We

:10:40.:10:44.

made one be mistake in that half in terms of not managing the game out

:10:45.:10:47.

in the last-minute of the half. That cost us. They produced a great ball.

:10:48.:10:52.

The one man you don't want in those situations, because he's done it so

:10:53.:10:55.

many times in his career, is Wayne Rooney. The story is all about him

:10:56.:11:00.

today because he won the game for Everton. I think he was a different

:11:01.:11:04.

class today in boll position. He was comfortable on the ball. He took

:11:05.:11:11.

right, good decisions on the ball. He scored a great goal. You cannot

:11:12.:11:16.

ask more than that. After the game I spoke to the Everton match winner,

:11:17.:11:20.

Wayne Rooney. Thank you very much for talking to us Wayne. 4,86 # days

:11:21.:11:28.

sips you last scored for Everton you must be delighted to end your goal

:11:29.:11:34.

drought? I'm delighted. It was a tough game against Stoke. First game

:11:35.:11:37.

of the season the important thing is to get off to ape with. We've done

:11:38.:11:41.

that, over the game we created the best chances. On a personal note,

:11:42.:11:45.

absolutely delighted to score the winning goal back at Goodison. A

:11:46.:11:48.

special moment for me. It looked very special in terms of your

:11:49.:11:53.

celebration. Seldom have I seen you celebrate so emphatically? Yeah. I

:11:54.:11:57.

think a lot of relief. A lot of emotion coming out. It was important

:11:58.:12:03.

goal, just before half-time. To take us into the dressing room with the

:12:04.:12:07.

1-0 lead. No, it was a special moment for me. Obviously, delighted.

:12:08.:12:11.

It turned out to be the winning goal. Lots of new faces. Does that

:12:12.:12:16.

sometimes bring with it its own problems in terms of settling

:12:17.:12:21.

placers and in and getting the right system etc. Us as players, we need

:12:22.:12:27.

to understand each others games. I think we probably knew on the pitch,

:12:28.:12:30.

in the first half, it weren't working the way we wanted it to. The

:12:31.:12:34.

manager identified that and made the change for the second-half. We

:12:35.:12:38.

created some good chances the second-half. Maybe should have went

:12:39.:12:43.

2-0 up. Towards the end we defended well. I think first game, it's

:12:44.:12:46.

important you get three points. We've done that. Thank you for

:12:47.:12:50.

talking to us, Wayne. I will let you get home to slip into your Everton

:12:51.:12:55.

PJs. Cheer choors, mate, see you soon. All the best. Life in the old

:12:56.:13:01.

dog yet? He has plenty to offer. I thought he was superb today. A great

:13:02.:13:06.

story, isn't it, him going back to where it all - First game, and the

:13:07.:13:13.

goal. He started the the move here the desire to get in the right

:13:14.:13:16.

place. Look where he heads for. A brilliant ball. Magnificent header.

:13:17.:13:22.

It really is. Used all of his neck muscles to guide it and get the

:13:23.:13:25.

power behind it. Is that where it comes from? Probably got as much

:13:26.:13:32.

enjoyment out of that as he did as a 16-year-old in 2002 when he scored

:13:33.:13:36.

against Arsenal. He played a huge part in their victory. His linkup

:13:37.:13:41.

play excellent. Spraying it around there when Calvert-Lewin went into a

:13:42.:13:45.

central role in the second-half. He could see that, picking his head up,

:13:46.:13:49.

getting the ball in behind and using his pay pace. What a magnificent day

:13:50.:13:52.

for him and Everton. It certainly was.

:13:53.:13:54.

West Brom versus Bournemouth saw the only meeting of two British

:13:55.:13:57.

Tony Pulis and Eddie Howe both led their teams to top half

:13:58.:14:01.

COMMENTATOR: They love a big centre-half here at The Hawthorns.

:14:02.:14:15.

At 6 foot 5 the Egyptian international fits the bill. His

:14:16.:14:25.

arrival is timely. Rodriguez is hoping a fresh challenge may

:14:26.:14:39.

rejuvenate them. Begovic back in 2007, Ake is here on a full-time

:14:40.:14:46.

basis. Chris Brunt will toy with the idea can of a long one.

:14:47.:14:56.

Liverpool got a touch and then Rodriguez fired it and Begovic made

:14:57.:15:05.

a smart save, to be fair to him. The long throw caused the issue. That

:15:06.:15:14.

would have just snuck in the corner. Tony Pulis extended his stay as West

:15:15.:15:20.

Brom manager couple of days back. The flip allows Livermore to go in.

:15:21.:15:26.

And then Begovic again nominated post. He does look lean and mean and

:15:27.:15:33.

again it is Rodriguez against Begovic. It goes towards Rodriguez.

:15:34.:15:44.

The flag stays down. He has gone for it. And only just missed it. We are

:15:45.:15:52.

at the midpoint of the first half and it has been the Jay Rodriguez

:15:53.:15:59.

show. A comfortable enough header away by Surmon.

:16:00.:16:07.

King waives his fingers and says no. That was always going to be in vain.

:16:08.:16:21.

The opening goal arrives from the new boy Ahmed Hegazi! The set piece

:16:22.:16:34.

specialists. Guess what, they have scored from a set piece. Another

:16:35.:16:38.

West Brom centre-half, another centre-half above six foot five. He

:16:39.:16:44.

is just about an side and he powers his header through the legs of

:16:45.:16:47.

Begovic. West Brom deservedly in front.

:16:48.:16:58.

That was just over the top. They have got themselves a new hero here.

:16:59.:17:07.

Ahmed Hegazi played Serie A with fear and Tina. He scored with his

:17:08.:17:12.

head and almost scored with his boot. -- Fiorentina.

:17:13.:17:36.

Rodriguez, straight into the body of Daniels. That is another late

:17:37.:17:46.

challenge, this time by Rodriguez. The card is coming. It is yellow.

:17:47.:17:52.

There is no doubt Rodriguez had a much greater impact on the game when

:17:53.:17:57.

he was playing centrally. When he moved out to the right he has not

:17:58.:18:02.

looked like the potent force that he was. He was booked for the foul on

:18:03.:18:09.

Fraser. That will count as an effort on target and nothing more than

:18:10.:18:17.

catching practice for Foster. Nathan Ake headset. The force of the right

:18:18.:18:28.

boot on his shin is decidedly odd. I think only he will know if he meant

:18:29.:18:35.

it. His first manager when he was a teenager at Bournemouth was Tony

:18:36.:18:41.

Pulis and he looks on the Baggies manager as a mentor and an influence

:18:42.:18:47.

on his career. Trying to find Rondon. Now Harper. On towards

:18:48.:18:56.

Rondon. Maclean is trying to get there. Harper is trying to get there

:18:57.:19:02.

in the middle. Rondon goes alone. Bournemouth understandably going for

:19:03.:19:08.

broke. Rondon going for the corner. Begovic with the outstretched

:19:09.:19:13.

fingertips ensuring it stays at 1-0. We had the most shots on goal. We

:19:14.:19:17.

should have scored more than one goal and we have just come off the

:19:18.:19:23.

pitch. We had really, really good opportunities and chances. We are

:19:24.:19:28.

not a position team. But we played very, very well today at times. I

:19:29.:19:33.

expected us to have the position that we did but I expected us to be

:19:34.:19:37.

a lot more creative with it. I thought that was the most

:19:38.:19:41.

disappointing thing. We could not get behind their solid backline.

:19:42.:19:45.

Credit to them but stuff for us to work on. How nice is it to be not

:19:46.:19:51.

defending West Brom set pieces? That is one thing you look on and I think

:19:52.:19:58.

we are a big threat. A fantastic feeling. It is important that the

:19:59.:20:03.

team is winning. It is important for us. We were card. And the goal, for

:20:04.:20:15.

sure is a very good feeling. I hope to continue like this. Excellent

:20:16.:20:20.

start, new player, West Brom. The same story, a goal from a set piece,

:20:21.:20:27.

it is vital for them. This guy, he is six foot five. I am sure

:20:28.:20:30.

Bournemouth would have been worried when they saw it. A real powerful

:20:31.:20:38.

header. A great ball in. That is what West Brom are waiting for. They

:20:39.:20:44.

are waiting for a player like this, six foot five, up Tony Pulis'

:20:45.:20:51.

street. The first time two Egyptians have scored since 2008. Wasn't it a

:20:52.:20:57.

song, scored like an Egyptian? What about West Brom? They had a good

:20:58.:21:04.

season and they signed some good players so I think it will be

:21:05.:21:05.

another similar one for them. There was a new face

:21:06.:21:13.

in the Southampton dug-out with former Alaves manager,

:21:14.:21:15.

Mauricio Pellegrino, Swansea, who narrowly

:21:16.:21:16.

avoided relegation last Manolo Gabbiadini got six goals last

:21:17.:21:31.

year for Southampton but he has not scored in his last eight

:21:32.:21:39.

appearances. Virgil van Dijk is not playing. 19-year-old town Abraham X

:21:40.:21:43.

's first Premier League start, on loan from Chelsea. He got 26 goals

:21:44.:21:50.

for Bristol City last season. Abraham shoulders plenty of

:21:51.:21:53.

responsibility, as does Captain Leon Britton who was so important in the

:21:54.:21:59.

Swansea's late surge to safety last season. A terrific atmosphere here

:22:00.:22:06.

at St Mary 's. Hardly a seat to be had.

:22:07.:22:13.

That is just wide from Tadic. I'm sure there were many at St Mary 's

:22:14.:22:21.

who thought we were about to see the opening goal. Lovely flowing

:22:22.:22:25.

football from Southampton. Just the wrong side of the post from Dusan

:22:26.:22:32.

Tadic. Mauricio Pellegrino led Alaves tonight in La Liga last

:22:33.:22:36.

season and to the Copa del Rey final. Southampton reached the

:22:37.:22:38.

League Cup final and finished eighth. His target is to improve on

:22:39.:22:42.

that this season. The first chance for Swansea. The

:22:43.:22:58.

first chance for Tanya Abraham and maybe it should have been the first

:22:59.:23:01.

goal in Swansea colours for Tammy Abraham. The wrong side of the post

:23:02.:23:05.

from the teenager. Redmond, got away from Naughton.

:23:06.:23:27.

Redmond with a little pull-back. James Ward-Prowse appealing for a

:23:28.:23:36.

penalty. You can see Ward-Prowse screaming for it. He is claiming a

:23:37.:23:41.

penalty. Paul Clement's side under considerable pressure at the moment.

:23:42.:23:51.

He challenged just inside the penalty area. Mike Jones had an

:23:52.:24:02.

unimpeded view of it. Fernandes was the defender involved. You can see

:24:03.:24:08.

here the view that the referee has. It has been largely one-way traffic

:24:09.:24:13.

in this first half. Swansea with the one chance of note so far. Abraham

:24:14.:24:19.

with the block. Redmond gets there first.

:24:20.:24:32.

Leroy Fer who can hit them. Towards Abraham. A lovely turn. Abraham's

:24:33.:24:42.

shot was blocked by Cedric. Serve. Almost a perfect start to the second

:24:43.:24:48.

half for Swansea. How about that for a from Abraham? Cedric getting his

:24:49.:24:56.

body in the way. Encouraging for Swansea. It will be a terrific away

:24:57.:25:07.

point in Swansea can come away with a draw from here as they have

:25:08.:25:13.

absorbed an awful lot of pressure. Tadic goes for gold. Fabianski with

:25:14.:25:17.

the save. That moved really strongly in the air.

:25:18.:25:27.

Yoshida! The best chance of the second half by a long, long way. It

:25:28.:25:38.

is such a crowded penalty area and Maya Yoshida was able to find a

:25:39.:25:43.

little bit of room. Over the bar and it remains 0-0, despite

:25:44.:25:46.

Southampton's best efforts. Stevens appeals for handball. The

:25:47.:26:09.

referee said play on. Stevens with a strong shout there. That does seem

:26:10.:26:14.

to be very much ball to hand, although the hands are high.

:26:15.:26:23.

Three minutes additional time at the end of the match. Remain to goes

:26:24.:26:33.

down. This is a free kick for Southampton in a very promising

:26:34.:26:39.

position. It is Yoshida! Just for one moment that looked as if it was

:26:40.:26:45.

creeping in. Chances galore. They could not take any of them. 0-0.

:26:46.:26:53.

It was a hard afternoon. They had a massive amount of chances, both on

:26:54.:26:58.

target, off target, set play after set play. We suffered a lot of

:26:59.:27:02.

times. I am happy that we kept a clean sheet and ended up with a

:27:03.:27:11.

draw. That could have been a lot worse. A lucky game for us. I think

:27:12.:27:14.

we did everything to win the game but you have to do goals. We had to

:27:15.:27:19.

keep going. I think we are in a good way. It was a goalless game

:27:20.:27:25.

dominated by Southampton, Alan. Bags of chances for them. I guess therein

:27:26.:27:35.

lies the problem. A familiar story, carried on their run from last

:27:36.:27:38.

season. Only Sunderland scored fewer goals at home than Southampton did.

:27:39.:27:41.

Big opportunities for Tadic. Getting into the right areas. Ward-Prowse

:27:42.:27:47.

claimed handball. I don't think it is. This is the sitter from Yoshida.

:27:48.:27:53.

That was a big, big opportunity. Have got to score. If they can start

:27:54.:27:59.

scoring goals, they play some decent football. Absolutely. As for

:28:00.:28:05.

Swansea, not a single shot on target in the game. A few problems,

:28:06.:28:09.

Llorente, broken arm, Sigurdsson looks like he might leave. It could

:28:10.:28:14.

be another difficult season? I think so unfortunately. They had a lot of

:28:15.:28:23.

chances today. What to think of the Sigurdsson thing? I suppose it is

:28:24.:28:26.

similar to Coutinho and one or two others when you have a player who

:28:27.:28:31.

clearly wants to go? There are probably four or five of them who

:28:32.:28:37.

are in the same situation. None of played today, Coutinho, van Dijk,

:28:38.:28:41.

Sigurdsson, Barkley, Sanchez is injured. There were a few of them

:28:42.:28:47.

who did not play. It is funny how they all have little niggles. I

:28:48.:28:50.

think we'll have a little niggle now because it is time to go. Thank you

:28:51.:28:58.

very much, chaps. Let's take a look at the league table. A moment to

:28:59.:29:02.

savour for Huddersfield supporters with the Terriers top of the tree.

:29:03.:29:14.

The mail says Conte could be the first manager to leave. Pull. The

:29:15.:29:30.

Star says Tottenham are set to spend with a move for Sanchez being

:29:31.:29:34.

imminent. We have seen some cartoon defending, goals from Rooney and

:29:35.:29:44.

Mounie, it has been a Loony Tunes kind of day.

:29:45.:29:51.
