:00:17. > :00:45.Blue is the colour of the Premier League winners.
:00:46. > :00:54.Morning, boys. What a start for Lacazette. It's in. It's Mane. It's
:00:55. > :01:01.brilliant. An extraordinary end to this crazy game. Written in the
:01:02. > :01:06.stars. Cahill has been sent off and the champions are beaten. A dream
:01:07. > :01:10.start to their Premier League chapter. Red card for John joy
:01:11. > :01:16.Shelvey. What an incredible start to the new Premier League season.
:01:17. > :01:23.Seven good games, good games coming up.
:01:24. > :01:25.All in the company of Jermaine Jenas and Danny Murphy.
:01:26. > :01:29.We begin at the ground that's witnessed the fewest Premier League
:01:30. > :01:30.goals over the past 12 months, Southampton's
:01:31. > :01:34.West Ham, beaten 4-0 by Manchester United on the opening
:01:35. > :01:46.COMMENTATOR: It was no surprise to hear Manuel Pellegrini say
:01:47. > :01:50.Southampton have done extra work on finishing this week given the hat
:01:51. > :01:56.full of chances they created but failed to take against Swansea. Club
:01:57. > :02:00.record sign Lemina makes his debut. His last appearance before leaving
:02:01. > :02:05.Juventus was in their Champions League final defeat to Real Madrid.
:02:06. > :02:10.Bad news for West Ham in the warm-up as Winston Reid picked up and
:02:11. > :02:16.injured. Ogbonna is his replace am. There is a first Premier League
:02:17. > :02:21.start for 18-year-old Pat Rice. Michail Antonio, who top scored for
:02:22. > :02:29.the Hammers last season, returns after four months frommier.
:02:30. > :02:33.Cresswell and Fonte also come in. Well met by Antonio. Yoshida
:02:34. > :02:37.underneath it though for Southampton. Antonio finds Noble.
:02:38. > :02:44.Michail Antonio, clever pass. Arnautovic. Best chance of the game
:02:45. > :02:48.so far. It's a beautiful pass here from Michail Antonio. Arnautovic got
:02:49. > :02:52.plenty of pace on it, but no placement. A really good chance.
:02:53. > :02:56.Slaven Bilic said he and his players were gutted after that mauling in
:02:57. > :03:05.Manchester last weekend. He's confident we will see a reaction
:03:06. > :03:13.from them today. Noble. Davis tangling. Romeu poking forwards. Gab
:03:14. > :03:18.Deeney releasing Redmond. He continues his run. He's found here
:03:19. > :03:26.by Redmond. 1-0 by Southampton. The long wait for a gong at St Mary's
:03:27. > :03:30.for the Saints is finally over. And Manolo Gabbiadini ends his personal
:03:31. > :03:37.drought as well. Gabbiadini started the move. Timed his run perle
:03:38. > :03:43.effectually and then just sent it beyond Joe Hart. Gabbiadini who
:03:44. > :03:47.scored on his Southampton debut against West Ham here in February is
:03:48. > :03:51.on target against the Hammers early on today. Early for the run of
:03:52. > :03:56.Antonio, who was almost in around the back. Yoshida did well. Broken
:03:57. > :04:06.kindly for Hernandez. Great early ball in. A fabulous save from Fraser
:04:07. > :04:13.Forster to deny Marko Arnautovic. Such a good delivery. Arnautovic did
:04:14. > :04:20.well and got his angles right. Fonte receiving the pantomime boos.
:04:21. > :04:24.Romeu's knock-on. He did enough to help it on to Tadic. He worked it
:04:25. > :04:33.into Gabbiadini. He needs support. He doesn't get it. Oh, Noble was
:04:34. > :04:42.quite strong in the challenge, but meanwhile Arnautovic is down here.
:04:43. > :04:47.Pablo Zabaleta is making the case there is an elbow in there. He has
:04:48. > :04:52.his arm up. Meanwhile, just after that, Noble leapt into this
:04:53. > :04:56.challenge. Gary Cahill saw red for a challenge not too dissimilar to that
:04:57. > :05:07.last weekend. Maybe a lucky boy, Mark Noble. Stevens, waited. He then
:05:08. > :05:21.finds Romeu. He was caught late by Arnautovic. Is oh, he's off. Marko
:05:22. > :05:27.Arnautovic is stunned. Oh, that is nasty from Marko Arnautovic. He
:05:28. > :05:33.can't have any complaints about that. Arnautovic, having hit out at
:05:34. > :05:41.Jack Stephens is now kicking out at a bag as he makes his way off. What
:05:42. > :05:53.must he be thinking? Redmond. Oh, lovely pass. Davis. Oh he's been
:05:54. > :05:58.grabbed back shortly. Fonte has grabbed him back. The Saints will
:05:59. > :06:04.have a chance to make it 2-0. Fonte tracks him back. An easy decision
:06:05. > :06:13.for Lee Mason to make here. Dusan Tadic had a penalty saved against
:06:14. > :06:20.Hull here in April. But he stuck this one away, although he got a bit
:06:21. > :06:24.lucky as it came off Joe Hart. Tadic went for power, straight down the
:06:25. > :06:30.middle. Hart's legs almost kept it out. He gave away four Premier
:06:31. > :06:37.League penalties last season, Jose Fonte. He's left Slaven Bilic's side
:06:38. > :06:43.in real trouble now. Michail Antonio. Good strengthen, great
:06:44. > :06:48.turn. Not a bad hit. There's Hernandez. West Ham are back in the
:06:49. > :06:55.game. Javier Hernandez has his first goal for the Hammers. It's all about
:06:56. > :06:58.the work of Michail Antonio here. Smashed it goalwards, Forster scone
:06:59. > :07:03.couldn't hold it. Credit to earn Hernandez for his reactions. He is
:07:04. > :07:08.off the mark in a West Ham shirt. This is the second of three away
:07:09. > :07:11.games to start the season for Slaven Bilic's side, due to the time
:07:12. > :07:15.required to turn the London Stadium back into a football ground
:07:16. > :07:22.following the World Athletics Championships. Looks like being a
:07:23. > :07:26.long one from Antonio. Forster thought about coming didn't. Ayew in
:07:27. > :07:32.there. West Ham are asking for aened ha. They are convinced, Lee Mason
:07:33. > :07:35.isn't. It's a free-kick for Southampton. Jack Stephens is the
:07:36. > :07:40.man they were appealing against. Well, it does come off his arm. You
:07:41. > :07:55.can see why West Ham are asking the question. Tadic. Gabbiadini will
:07:56. > :08:05.have a pop. Great try. Really well-struck by the Italian. A
:08:06. > :08:11.whisker away from making it 3-1. Will The co-owner of Southampton.
:08:12. > :08:18.They are planning to follow the Southampton way. Cedric, four in the
:08:19. > :08:24.box to aim for. Hart thought about coming, didn't. Zabaleta has to send
:08:25. > :08:29.it behind. Taken short by Redmond. Davis, Redmond to Bertrand. Now
:08:30. > :08:42.comes the cross. Gabbiadini waiting. Hart firsting away. -- fisting away.
:08:43. > :08:49.Plenty up there for Southampton. Tadic to have pop. Good block from
:08:50. > :08:54.Joe Hart. Tadic already has one goal in the bank and prevented from
:08:55. > :09:03.adding to that by a smart save from Joe Hart. Spread nicely to
:09:04. > :09:08.Cresswell. Sakho's in the middle. Great ball, Sakho. Oh, it stays out.
:09:09. > :09:14.In from Hernandez. West Ham are level. What a remarkable recovery
:09:15. > :09:21.from the Hammers. Javier Hernandez has his second of the afternoon.
:09:22. > :09:25.Really good delivery. Forster did well to keep out the initial effort,
:09:26. > :09:31.but couldn't do anything about Hernandez on the rebound. 2-0 down,
:09:32. > :09:37.a man down, but a double from Hernandez makes it all square. Well,
:09:38. > :09:44.surely they didn't think they were going to be celebrating after the
:09:45. > :09:49.way the first half was panning out. Into the final minute. Redmond, a
:09:50. > :09:53.bit of room. Going to have a go. Oh, for a the second time this
:09:54. > :09:59.afternoon, Southampton hit the bar. Redmond given the room to chance his
:10:00. > :10:04.arm. Got a deflection off Fonte. West Ham with everybody back behind
:10:05. > :10:10.the ball, as you'd expect. Ward-Prowse. Oh, it's a great ball
:10:11. > :10:18.in. And there was the chance for Yoshida, who was dragged down. It's
:10:19. > :10:22.a penalty. Drama right at the death. Pablo Zabaleta cannot believe it,
:10:23. > :10:28.and all of West Ham's hard work may have disappeared in the final few
:10:29. > :10:35.seconds. It's a nudge in the back from the Argentine on Yoshida. Dusan
:10:36. > :10:41.Tadic has already scored a penalty today, but Charlie Austin is going
:10:42. > :10:45.to take this one. Joe Hart is trying to get into the Southampton's
:10:46. > :10:56.players ears. It's all getting a bit fiesty. And Austin does score. A
:10:57. > :11:06.remarkable climax to what has been a thrilling afternoon. Huge pressure,
:11:07. > :11:12.but a cool finish from Austin. Southampton 3, West Ham 2. How are
:11:13. > :11:19.you feeling after that? It was quite an afternoon? Yes, difficult game.
:11:20. > :11:23.To analyse and to see. Nice game to see as a fan, but as a manager, to
:11:24. > :11:30.be a manager, it's a difficult game because I think we were better
:11:31. > :11:34.against 11 players than against 10. But the best thing for us we got
:11:35. > :11:40.three points. We had to keep going. We had to learn from this game. We
:11:41. > :11:44.conceded a very cheap goal. The first one from the counter-attack.
:11:45. > :11:52.But we reacted really good. I'm very proud of the team. What about the
:11:53. > :11:57.dismissal of Marko Arnautovic? I'm not going to talk about it. It's a
:11:58. > :12:01.big blow. Have you to play with 10-men for a big part of the game.
:12:02. > :12:05.It's not easy. As I said, the guys showed great character. It looked as
:12:06. > :12:09.if there was a fair bit of gamemanship going on. Did you have
:12:10. > :12:13.to keep your cool? I was going to go keeper right. He said, he knows
:12:14. > :12:18.where you are going. I changed at the end. Thanks to him. This is
:12:19. > :12:25.English football. In two minutes everything can change. The majority
:12:26. > :12:29.of the team have quality to create problems. You have to fight for
:12:30. > :12:34.every single point. Today two penalties that must get to you
:12:35. > :12:38.again? Are you trying to make me talk about the penalties. I to the
:12:39. > :12:43.told you in the beginning that aisle nave talk about it. I will leave it
:12:44. > :12:48.to you and your colleagues. OK. No doubt we will discuss them. It was
:12:49. > :12:54.close to a spectacular comeback from West Ham. Most decisions went
:12:55. > :12:58.against them. In many ways they were perhaps architects of their own
:12:59. > :13:04.downfall? That is exactly what they were. A weird game for Slaven Bilic.
:13:05. > :13:10.The goals they conceded were poor. He mentioned the character. He can
:13:11. > :13:15.be proud of the performance they put in when they came back to get it
:13:16. > :13:18.back to 2-2. Architects of their own downfall. As simple as that. It was
:13:19. > :13:26.experienced players which will disappoint Slaven Bilic the most.
:13:27. > :13:37.Mark Noble was lucky to get away with this challenge. A naughty
:13:38. > :13:43.challenge. Gary Cahill got sent off for lunging into a tackle last week.
:13:44. > :13:48.He wants to put pressure on to Jack Stephens, attacking at pace. They
:13:49. > :13:55.correct decision from Lee Mason, but why he throws out his arms so wide
:13:56. > :14:00.and into Jack Stephens' net. He apologised on social media. Rightly
:14:01. > :14:08.so. Look at the impact. He put his team in a tough position. Jose Fonte
:14:09. > :14:18.is an experienced defender and he gets too tight to Harrison Davies.
:14:19. > :14:25.No chance of getting beer it why he and feels the need to pull on his
:14:26. > :14:29.neck. Another good decision from the referee. Tadic squeeze it is in.
:14:30. > :14:36.Down to ten men. Getting themselves back into it at 2-2 and one of the
:14:37. > :14:42.most experienced players, Zap Valletta, trying to be too clever.
:14:43. > :14:50.Realises Yoshida is in a great position -- Pablo Zabaleta. He
:14:51. > :15:01.changes his mind. He loves those opportunities. How do you see
:15:02. > :15:07.Southampton? A different manager. Claude Puel did well but people
:15:08. > :15:12.thought he was a bit dull. Six games at home without a goal, stopped that
:15:13. > :15:17.today. I did a lot of games at Southampton last year and fans were
:15:18. > :15:30.not happy. Important Pellegrino got off to a good start. Apart from the
:15:31. > :15:35.comeback and character. Chicharito,. A super striker. The type of fellow
:15:36. > :15:41.you can rely on to get typical striker goals, like yourself Gary,
:15:42. > :15:49.in the old days. 39 goals, they have all been inside the box. He has
:15:50. > :15:55.great movement. In a game where they could have been out of sight, he has
:15:56. > :16:02.brought them back in. That is not an easy finish. He will gain confidence
:16:03. > :16:06.from those goals, even though they did not get anything from the match,
:16:07. > :16:10.West Ham will have the chance to finish higher than last season. And
:16:11. > :16:12.the young teenager Declan Rice played well.
:16:13. > :16:15.Manchester United's win over West Ham last week was the biggest
:16:16. > :16:19.Jose Mourinho's side faced Swansea, who failed to register a shot
:16:20. > :16:20.on target in a goalless draw at Southampton.
:16:21. > :16:26.Guy Mowbray was at the Liberty Stadium.
:16:27. > :16:34.With Gylfi Sigurdsson gone and Fernando Llorente injured, Swansea
:16:35. > :16:38.offered little at Southampton last weekend and give a Manchester
:16:39. > :16:43.United's attacking display against West Ham, most give Swansea Little
:16:44. > :16:49.chance today. In the Premier League, those ideas cannot be turned upside
:16:50. > :16:53.down. Kyle Bartley comes in for Wayne Routledge, and three at the
:16:54. > :17:00.back with winger backs. With Leon Britton ruled out, a debut for Roque
:17:01. > :17:09.Mesa, signed for a reported 11 million. He will do well to settle
:17:10. > :17:15.quickly as Lukaku, who scored twice for on debut last week. While
:17:16. > :17:24.Nemanja Matic was Man of the Match. They play in an unchanged side.
:17:25. > :17:31.Swansea are paying tribute to the honorary president who passed away
:17:32. > :17:35.aged 90 having served the club for half a century.
:17:36. > :17:39.Since they got into the Premier League, we have become accustomed to
:17:40. > :17:46.a nice style of football played by Swansea. I wonder whether today they
:17:47. > :17:57.will have to be a gritty city to get a result against Manchester United.
:17:58. > :18:04.Swansea did really well. They made the triangle too tight. There might
:18:05. > :18:06.be something on. Over David de Gea and off the bar, would you believe
:18:07. > :18:24.it. Tremendous work by Jordan Ayew. Swansea again. A chance for Kyle
:18:25. > :18:30.Naughton to cross. Jones clears but not decisively. Coming back with
:18:31. > :18:35.Roque Mesa. He goes back. He sold Alfie Mawson short. Away goes
:18:36. > :18:42.Lukaku. Loss control for a second but another chance. Hits the shot
:18:43. > :18:50.well wide. Three minutes played and we are off in Swansea. Jordan Ayew
:18:51. > :18:55.got a stroke of luck. Eric Bailly's clearance against him. He has a lot
:18:56. > :19:01.to consider his options. David de Gea was not expecting that and not
:19:02. > :19:11.many were and almost straightaway Lukaku was away. Just the touch is
:19:12. > :19:19.where it broke down. Alfie Mawson, too. Signs that Jose Mourinho has
:19:20. > :19:21.his Mojo back. It seems to happen in his second season in charge of a
:19:22. > :19:37.club. Fouled this time. Increasing the
:19:38. > :19:42.amount of stick Marcus Rashford has been getting from the first moment
:19:43. > :19:54.he has touched the ball. Being booed because of the penalty when these
:19:55. > :20:02.two sides met previously. Juan Mata. A great ball. It is off the bar.
:20:03. > :20:07.Phil Jones' last goal was in March 20 14. His header, when the free
:20:08. > :20:20.kick came in, he was standing offside. The flag did not go up the
:20:21. > :20:24.-- did not go up. Paul Pogba. He will be carded. The first yellow
:20:25. > :20:29.card of the game. It has suddenly got lively in terms of tackles. It
:20:30. > :20:35.has been lively in terms of action from the start. Paul Pogba was late.
:20:36. > :20:45.It was a needless swipe on Tom Carroll. Pogba late into the tackle
:20:46. > :20:49.having already been booked for a late tackle. John Moss looks as
:20:50. > :20:56.though he will give him the benefit of the doubt. A last chance warning
:20:57. > :21:01.for Paul Pogba. One of those where you can bet your bottom dollar if he
:21:02. > :21:02.had not been booked, he would have been for that one. Most referees
:21:03. > :21:18.officiate like that. Rash that in an tamely into the
:21:19. > :21:24.gloves of Fabianski. -- Marcus Rashford. What a chance for Marcus
:21:25. > :21:37.Rashford, who has been bright. That was a dull finish.
:21:38. > :21:56.Another beauty. No other option for Kyle Naughton. It had to go behind.
:21:57. > :22:04.Paul Pogba! It is in. Manchester United have the lead with half-time
:22:05. > :22:10.looming. Eric Bailly is claiming the ball and credit for the goal. John
:22:11. > :22:15.Moss has checked his watch to see if there was an indication it had
:22:16. > :22:24.crossed the line. It is a super delivery. Pogba on his own.
:22:25. > :22:29.Fabianski covered in -- covered it. It is one for Eric Bailly to
:22:30. > :22:35.celebrate, his first for Manchester United. Swansea came out of the
:22:36. > :22:38.traps going for it in the first half. I suppose they have to now,
:22:39. > :22:42.but they do not want to leave themselves open. Alfie Mawson, a
:22:43. > :22:58.good ball. Tom Carroll, Abraham. Could not get
:22:59. > :23:06.over the top of it. Maybe just came at it with a little too much pace.
:23:07. > :23:11.It was a neat Swansea move. Tommy Abraham doing his best as the focal
:23:12. > :23:17.point in the middle but they are missing Fernando Llorente, Swansea,
:23:18. > :23:21.the Spanish World Cup winner who was their top scorer last season.
:23:22. > :23:29.Recuperating from a broken arm sustained while cycling on holiday.
:23:30. > :23:40.Anthony Martial lets it go for Mkhitaryan and Lukaku! Lukaku for
:23:41. > :23:47.Manchester United is something you will hear a lot of this season. He
:23:48. > :23:53.has had a quiet game, but when the big chance arrived he was in the
:23:54. > :23:57.right place to gobble it up. Only his third appearance for Manchester
:23:58. > :24:02.United and he already has four goals. Two they have this afternoon
:24:03. > :24:16.should be enough to guarantee three points the Red Devils.
:24:17. > :24:24.Mkhitaryan, what a run. Pogba lifts it over Fabianski to really seal the
:24:25. > :24:31.deal. Running away with it. In the space of just over a minute, one has
:24:32. > :24:36.become three. A driving run from Mkhitaryan. Pogba goes on at the
:24:37. > :24:44.right time and pace to be in just the right place. It is an easy, lazy
:24:45. > :24:47.left to make it Swansea 0- three Manchester United. They will have a
:24:48. > :24:54.happy short flight back to Manchester this evening.
:24:55. > :25:10.It could be another four goal haul. Anthony Martial makes it four. For
:25:11. > :25:15.the second game in a row he comes off the bench to join in the
:25:16. > :25:18.goal-scoring form. Making the point himself. He does not want to go
:25:19. > :25:23.anywhere. Making the point to the rest of the league the sort of
:25:24. > :25:32.strength in depth Manchester United have and the final score today will
:25:33. > :25:39.make this game look easy. Three goals scored in three minutes and 41
:25:40. > :25:46.seconds. It has happened with me many times with my teams. You are
:25:47. > :25:51.winning 1-0 and you are in trouble, you score and let's close the door.
:25:52. > :25:59.You score the second goal and the feeling was you can score more, so
:26:00. > :26:04.no need to close the door. Just let the horses run. The difference
:26:05. > :26:10.between the start of the game and 79 minutes was one goal and it was a
:26:11. > :26:14.set play. I had made changes tactically and try to get more
:26:15. > :26:20.offensive players into the game to create more and get back into it. We
:26:21. > :26:25.got in a mess defensively for the second. It was a gift for them. We
:26:26. > :26:30.gave the ball away. We played to their strengths and they are so
:26:31. > :26:35.dangerous on the counterattack. We were punished. The atmosphere and
:26:36. > :26:40.environment in the team was amazing. This year it is better. It is not
:26:41. > :26:48.that something changed, we became close to each other, we became
:26:49. > :26:53.united. Maybe that is why our new signing showed everything is good
:26:54. > :26:57.and helping us from the first. Six points, the horses are running
:26:58. > :27:07.freely. But you have one little nag. I do! We watched Manchester United
:27:08. > :27:13.last week and they were outstanding, free-flowing football, movement to
:27:14. > :27:19.see. Today, it was not as easy as the scoreline suggested. Up to 80
:27:20. > :27:25.minutes, although it felt like they would win, Swansea caused problems.
:27:26. > :27:30.He likes to play with wide players tucked in and Central. If you play
:27:31. > :27:34.with the likes of Lukaku, Juan Mata, Mkhitaryan. You need to do it when
:27:35. > :27:40.you have Daley Blind and Valencia wide. They did not go wide at that
:27:41. > :27:45.point, going through the centre of the pitch, which I found they were
:27:46. > :27:50.doing up on a lot of occasions. Juan Mata this time. Options in the
:27:51. > :27:55.centre. Look at the back four of Swansea, having to come into close
:27:56. > :28:01.the gaps. The spaces out wide. I expect Daley Blind to get into the
:28:02. > :28:08.space, give them the opportunity to get behind the Swansea back four. He
:28:09. > :28:13.has never really encouraged the fullbacks to bomb on. Today it was
:28:14. > :28:17.there and calling for it. Mkhitaryan, two great assists.
:28:18. > :28:22.Capable of picking out the wrong for Juan Mata. On the right, where is
:28:23. > :28:28.Valencia? He tries to go through the middle and gets caught out. We see
:28:29. > :28:32.him at right back. Pogba wants to go through the middle again. It was a
:28:33. > :28:42.common theme I saw throughout the game. Only 1-0 at this point. They
:28:43. > :28:45.went on to win comfortably. They are playing with confidence in tight
:28:46. > :28:50.areas. Marcus Rashford sensational and was brought. The amount of times
:28:51. > :28:54.this happens when they come into the middle, where Swansea were
:28:55. > :28:58.strongest. Gets cleared out. I felt against the better sides, they will
:28:59. > :29:03.need to find better options in the wide areas. Against Swansea it is
:29:04. > :29:11.fine, West Ham, great. Pogba scored in both games. Settling
:29:12. > :29:15.in well this season. A positive for United. They need one of their big
:29:16. > :29:20.stars to perform. He can do everything. I would hate to play
:29:21. > :29:24.against him. Strong and powerful. He can sit-in there and pass the ball
:29:25. > :29:29.about. What he is doing today. This is the worst bit of him. Frustrated
:29:30. > :29:33.early on in the game. Rightly a yellow card for me. Yes. A silly
:29:34. > :29:38.kick out. Yellow is the right decision. Swansea were obviously
:29:39. > :29:42.thinking - maybe this could be a second. It's not for me. It's a
:29:43. > :29:46.foul. Not every foul is a yellow. What he brings you is this powerful
:29:47. > :29:51.presence in the opposition box. That is a superheader. Very hard to pick
:29:52. > :29:56.up. The fact United have a huge team of set plays. This is what I think
:29:57. > :30:00.he will be best at, getting forward, using his athleticism and using his
:30:01. > :30:05.power. Can he finish? Beautiful. He has all the tools he needs to be
:30:06. > :30:10.scoring a lot more goals than he has done previously. Released more now
:30:11. > :30:14.with Matic there as well? Exactly. A really good point. Great legs around
:30:15. > :30:19.him as well. Not just about picking up Pogba. Look at him, bursting,
:30:20. > :30:22.late in the game. Nice and fit and strong. Can he make the right
:30:23. > :30:29.decision. Yes, simple pass to Martial. Then another great sub to
:30:30. > :30:35.come in off the bench. 4-0. Harsh on Swansea. Harsh on Swansea. The power
:30:36. > :30:37.they have they will steamroller teams. OK.
:30:38. > :30:39.Stoke's first home game of the season saw them host
:30:40. > :30:42.an Arsenal side who left it late to beat Leicester last weekend.
:30:43. > :30:44.It's eight years since Arsene Wenger's team
:30:45. > :30:50.Steve Bower was at the Bet365 Stadium.
:30:51. > :31:01.COMMENTATOR: Mark Hughes gives a debut to this week's loan signing,
:31:02. > :31:06.Jese, he once cost Paris St-Germain ?21 minute he finished last season
:31:07. > :31:14.on-loan. Choupo-Moting makes his first Stoke start. Lacazette made
:31:15. > :31:17.hiss Arsenal mark. He bids to become the first Gunners player to score in
:31:18. > :31:23.his first two Premier League appearances for the club.
:31:24. > :31:29.Mark Hughes' team trying to beat one of the big boys. They didn't beat
:31:30. > :31:34.any of the top six home or away last seasonle they took three points from
:31:35. > :31:41.36 against last season's top six. Fletcher, on his hope debut. He has
:31:42. > :31:48.options. One of them is Jese. Can he make an instant impact? Jese. Denied
:31:49. > :31:52.by Petr Cech. Not quite the fairytale entrance on to the Stoke
:31:53. > :31:57.stage, but it was a positive one from the 24-year-old. He has a point
:31:58. > :32:06.to prove. He wants to prove it in the Premier League. Managed two
:32:07. > :32:11.goals in 14 appearance for PSG. He moved from his boyhood club Real
:32:12. > :32:18.Madrid, where he had been since the age of 14. Ozil getting on the ball.
:32:19. > :32:35.Welbeck. Fouled by Zouma. No needed to debate that one, right
:32:36. > :32:38.in front of the referee. Quickly taken by Ozil to Bellerin.
:32:39. > :32:47.Oxlade-Chamberlain. Good movement from Welbeck. Kept out by Butland.
:32:48. > :32:56.Then cleared by Diouf. Excellent football from Arsenal. Bellerin.
:32:57. > :33:03.Ramsey in ahead of Jese. There goes Oxlade-Chamberlain again, he's still
:33:04. > :33:10.going. He's got it back. He's looking for Bellerin, once more. It
:33:11. > :33:14.was untidy from Diouf. Arsenal get a corner. They did want a little bit
:33:15. > :33:21.more. Got forward well there on the left hand side. There were Arsenal
:33:22. > :33:31.appeals here. Diouf, from that angle, looked as though he may have
:33:32. > :33:33.caught Bellerin. The corner, off the head of Shawcross.
:33:34. > :33:42.Oxlade-Chamberlain drilled that at pace. Now it could be a Stoke break
:33:43. > :33:49.on. Jese. Shaqiri had to stay onside. Jese still going, and still.
:33:50. > :33:56.Choupo-Moting wants the pullback. Here he is, and he couldn't generate
:33:57. > :34:00.any power. Mark Hughes knows the talent that Jese has. For whatever
:34:01. > :34:05.reason he hasn't been able to show it in recent times. Four Arsenal
:34:06. > :34:06.defenders there, he was slightly behind Choupo-Moting, in his
:34:07. > :34:38.defence. In by Oxlade-Chamberlain. Oh, there
:34:39. > :34:44.was a free-runner, Ramsey, brilliant from Butland. He saved Stoke there.
:34:45. > :34:48.Watch Ramsey, no-one goes anywhere here him hef did well to get there.
:34:49. > :34:56.Butland, big and brave and hugely effective. Fletcher.
:34:57. > :35:17.Shaqiri. Too strong for Ozil. Jese. Berahino. Jese goes again. Oh what a
:35:18. > :35:24.moment for the new boy. Only arrived in the country this week. On-loan
:35:25. > :35:28.from Paris St-Germain. On his debut, he scores Stoke's first goal of the
:35:29. > :35:34.season to give them the lead. Less than two minutes into the
:35:35. > :35:39.second-half, he picked it up there. Berahino played his part and Jese
:35:40. > :35:43.did the rest. He's had a frustrated time in the last 12 months, the
:35:44. > :35:46.24-year-old, but what a start to life in the Premier League with
:35:47. > :35:55.Stoke City. What a start to the second-half. That's what he got him
:35:56. > :35:59.for. Stoke 1, Arsenal 0. Ozil, drop of the shoulder to get away from
:36:00. > :36:06.Fletcher. Bellerin's in. Bellerin has an opportunity. Butland held it
:36:07. > :36:09.in the nick of time. All created by Ozil. Well timed run from Bellerin,
:36:10. > :36:26.on his right foot. This is set up now bike the per
:36:27. > :36:38.verbal training match against defenders. Mopped up by Fletcher.
:36:39. > :36:44.Pieters. Berahino wants it early. That's who he's aiming for. And it
:36:45. > :36:51.needed Cech's intervention. Berahino pointed to where he wanted it.
:36:52. > :36:53.Pieters duly delivered it. Petr Cech needed to watch that all the way.
:36:54. > :37:06.Ozil. Looking for movement ahead of him.
:37:07. > :37:11.Giroud first touch. In towards Danny Welbeck. He is kept out by Butland,
:37:12. > :37:16.who continues to defy Arsenal in the Stoke goal. Couldn't get himself in
:37:17. > :37:23.a situation where he could get any power. He just poked it really in
:37:24. > :37:31.the end. Monreal. Looking for Ozil where ever possible. Welbeck.
:37:32. > :37:40.Offside. Lacazette. Won't count. Clinical finish, you have to say.
:37:41. > :37:42.But Simon Beck, the referee's assistant raised the flag
:37:43. > :37:47.straightaway. Giroud involved. Oh, my word, that is a tight, big call.
:37:48. > :37:53.It might US just be his right foot. A very good spot from the assistant
:37:54. > :37:55.if he thinks that. He's not lost his opening away fixture in the last
:37:56. > :38:13.eight Premier League seasons. Arsenal furious there is no foul.
:38:14. > :38:19.Pieters goes on. No foul there either by Mustafi. Mark Hughes is
:38:20. > :38:26.livid. The referee, from that view, took it that Mustafi got the ball.
:38:27. > :38:30.Outside the area anyway. Mark Hughes livid. Less than two minutes of
:38:31. > :38:47.stoppage-time remaining. Ozil. In from Monreal. There's the header
:38:48. > :38:52.from Giroud. He can't steer it on target. It's the first chance he's
:38:53. > :38:59.had since his introduction. It looks as though it isn't going to be
:39:00. > :39:04.Arsenal's day. How excited are you by Jese's arrival and how he hit the
:39:05. > :39:09.ground running today? When you think about it he has two, three training
:39:10. > :39:13.sessions with the group, so if that's what's to come, I think we
:39:14. > :39:17.will all be delighted. We were unlucky because I think we scored a
:39:18. > :39:24.regular goal that was given offside and was not offside. I believe Des
:39:25. > :39:29.fencively we knew at half-time it was important not to make a mistake
:39:30. > :39:33.at the back, and we gave them straightaway a cheap goal. I must
:39:34. > :39:37.ask you about Arsenal at home there seems to be a different thing in the
:39:38. > :39:40.air. Seven out of the last eight seasons you haven't lost to them
:39:41. > :39:44.here? They were ready for it today. Too much criticism of everything
:39:45. > :39:47.that's involved with Stoke City. Wrongly, in my view. I think the
:39:48. > :39:51.crowd just wanted to make a statement. Along with the team. They
:39:52. > :39:56.were fed up of it. They just wanted to get behind their team today. Well
:39:57. > :40:04.only one place to start, really, Danny. Fabulous debutant
:40:05. > :40:11.performance. Your essay must be on Jese. Considering he only got to the
:40:12. > :40:16.club. It was a magnificent performance. He gave them quality we
:40:17. > :40:21.haven't seen in recent times. Confident early on. Good save from
:40:22. > :40:26.Cech. Played on the left hand side that gave him more freedom. You can
:40:27. > :40:29.see the bits of awareness. Educated himself at Madrid all those years.
:40:30. > :40:33.He's obviously going to have quality. He could pass it there. He
:40:34. > :40:36.thinks he is offside. Watch this for a determined run. Someone who is
:40:37. > :40:44.comfortable and confident on the ball. Yeah, a bit of luck along the
:40:45. > :40:48.way. He was causing them problems. You think, is it another risk, if
:40:49. > :40:56.you like? Today, I mean, that was beautiful. Saw him come in. That's
:40:57. > :41:01.the type of player Stoke fans will really want to watch play. It's not
:41:02. > :41:06.just tricks and flicks, it's with end product as well. Starts to move
:41:07. > :41:10.himself to the goal. Changes the angle of his run, on his so-called
:41:11. > :41:16.weaker front. A brilliant display for him. For Mark Hughes and Stoke
:41:17. > :41:21.City long may that continue. Arsene Wenger wasn't happy with one or two
:41:22. > :41:25.decisions. Your verdict, Jermaine? I had to degree. There were more than
:41:26. > :41:30.a few decision that is went against Arsenal. Hard for you to say? I
:41:31. > :41:35.don't know how I got it out! A great ball from Oxlade-Chamberlain. Diouf
:41:36. > :41:39.slips. Regardless of whether he slips or not it's a foul. It's clear
:41:40. > :41:43.as day, this is a foul. You see the contact here. Left shin, contact
:41:44. > :41:47.with Bellerin's left shin. You see his foot even go out as we run it
:41:48. > :41:52.on. That's contact. That is a penalty. Bellerin goes down. Nothing
:41:53. > :41:57.was given. He was stumbling as it went down. That is why the referee
:41:58. > :42:03.didn't give it. It was a pen. It was a penalty. Zouma and Diouf involved.
:42:04. > :42:07.Zouma's left leg there. Kicks the back of Danny Welbeck's right leg.
:42:08. > :42:11.Clumsy again. It forces Danny Welbeck, when he goes for the shot,
:42:12. > :42:15.to drag his foot against the floor. Another opportunity missed. Another
:42:16. > :42:21.penalty they should have had. This is the goal. Marginal this one? Oh.
:42:22. > :42:27.I think the referee, the linesman must have got very lucky here. How
:42:28. > :42:31.he spotted the fact that his toe is offside, I don't know. You can't
:42:32. > :42:38.criticise the linesman for being right. You can't. He's got it right.
:42:39. > :42:42.That is the end of it. You can understand why Arsene Wenger would
:42:43. > :42:45.be slightly upset. For Arsene Wenger, when you get three or four
:42:46. > :42:50.instances in a row you feel hard down by. This is the last one.
:42:51. > :42:54.Diouf, he is playing him in defensive areas. He lunges in. This
:42:55. > :42:59.is the old classic, got to go down if you want to get a penalty. Stays
:43:00. > :43:02.on his feet. No chance for a pen. Serious point though. At that point
:43:03. > :43:06.you are saying, he has... It's not dive, he has to go down. There is
:43:07. > :43:11.contact. He has to go down. At that point they get the penalty. Or get a
:43:12. > :43:15.penalty for being honest. It's hard for the referee. Catch 22. Indeed.
:43:16. > :43:38.COMMENTATOR: Bat is a good saved by Schmeichel.
:43:39. > :43:41.Benteke. What a chance for Crystal Palace.
:43:42. > :43:44.Burnley were the headline act on the opening weekend with a 3-2
:43:45. > :43:48.Opponents West Brom also kicked off with a victory over Bournemouth.
:43:49. > :44:00.Sam Vokes ended last season with five goals in five games and his
:44:01. > :44:06.brace last week at Stamford Bridge got him off the mark quickly this
:44:07. > :44:13.term. His place up front might come under threats with reports of a ?50
:44:14. > :44:19.million price tag being agreed with Leeds United for Chris Wood.
:44:20. > :44:23.Rodriguez started his career here with 41 goals in five years. Burnley
:44:24. > :44:29.born, his family here this afternoon. And a debut for Gareth
:44:30. > :44:36.Barry, signed from Everton. Premier League appearance 629 for him. It is
:44:37. > :44:43.one of the oldest fixtures in the book. They first met in 1888. The
:44:44. > :44:47.first season of the Football League when Albion won that day, and have
:44:48. > :44:55.held sway in the 128 games that have followed.
:44:56. > :45:02.Space for Jack Cork and Albion caught napping. Hendrix to hit it.
:45:03. > :45:07.Not far wide, Jeff Hendrick. Poor defensive work from Albion firstly
:45:08. > :45:15.to leave Jack Cork in loads of room and to leave Jeff Hendrick with
:45:16. > :45:21.similar space. Burnley ever so strong here last season with ten of
:45:22. > :45:27.their 11th wins at Turf Moor. Sam Vokes, down for Gudmundsson. Just
:45:28. > :45:36.for a moment, Ben Foster was scrambling to his right. Gudmundsson
:45:37. > :45:40.onto his left foot and not far away from scoring his first Premier
:45:41. > :45:42.League goal since last November. The two meetings here have finished all
:45:43. > :46:00.square at two apiece. Brady has got clear. A chance to
:46:01. > :46:06.cross. Gudmundsson. This time, he forces the save from Ben Foster.
:46:07. > :46:08.Might have been heading wide, anyway, but Foster was across to
:46:09. > :46:25.keep it out, just in case. Cleared by Stephen Ward but only as
:46:26. > :46:30.far as Livermore. A clumsy challenge from Ward, completely missed time.
:46:31. > :46:39.It could spell trouble for Burnley. This one taken by Philips. Good
:46:40. > :46:44.delivery. Dawson got his head to it. Ben Mee got their ahead of Dawson.
:46:45. > :46:50.So far, Burnley have been resolute and disciplined in defending set
:46:51. > :46:55.pieces. They need to stay focused. A wonderful ball and Dawson got the
:46:56. > :47:02.final touch. Just steers it over the bar. Burnley looking for
:47:03. > :47:09.back-to-back wins for the first time since 1973 in the top flight.
:47:10. > :47:21.Forward by Tarkowski, and it found Gudmundsson. Sam Vokes waiting in
:47:22. > :47:26.the centre. I doubt he will prevent it going behind for the corner.
:47:27. > :47:31.Brady with the corner kick. Tarkowski going to the near post.
:47:32. > :47:36.Ben Mee with the header. He could not control it. Wonderful delivery
:47:37. > :47:47.from Robbie Brady. Ben Mee at full stretch. He could not control it.
:47:48. > :47:57.Robson-Kanu has got away from Ward and Tarkowski and Robson-Kanu
:47:58. > :48:02.scores. Brought off the bench. Hal Robson-Kanu breaks the deadlock at
:48:03. > :48:09.Turf Moor. Tom Heaton's defence melted in front of him. It is an
:48:10. > :48:13.assured finish from the Welsh international to be Tom Heaton.
:48:14. > :48:19.Albion on course for back-to-back wins at the start of the season in
:48:20. > :48:28.the top flight for the first time since 1978. Wobbling a bit at the
:48:29. > :48:34.moment, Burnley. Robson-Kanu again. Almost got his second and West
:48:35. > :48:39.Brom's second of the day. They hit the heights last week in west
:48:40. > :48:44.London, Burnley. They have come crashing down today. Albion have
:48:45. > :48:52.done a job on them. Floated towards Sam Vokes. Barnes with the shot.
:48:53. > :48:58.Ashley Barnes hat to snatch at it on the turn, he could not control the
:48:59. > :49:01.effort. Real pressure on the Albion rearguard with Walters, Sam Vokes
:49:02. > :49:13.and Ashley Barnes in the middle and Ward was up there, as well. And and
:49:14. > :49:20.elbow. Which card? It is the red card. What a bittersweet afternoon
:49:21. > :49:27.for Robson-Kanu. He came off the bench to score Albion's goal and now
:49:28. > :49:32.he is off. He will claim his eyes were on the ball. He did not appear
:49:33. > :49:39.to look at the player as he leapt for the ball. It is clumsy and a
:49:40. > :49:50.straight red card for Robson-Kanu. At this part of the season, Burnley
:49:51. > :49:55.so strong at home. But one win since January. What a chance for Walters
:49:56. > :50:01.to get his first Burnley goal against his former manager at Stoke.
:50:02. > :50:06.It was tough today because you are not happy with the result but happy
:50:07. > :50:10.with the performance. I was last week at Chelsea. I said we are
:50:11. > :50:18.laying out good markers for what we want to be and grow into. Good signs
:50:19. > :50:24.of that today. A poor goal and mayhem, barring that we were good.
:50:25. > :50:29.As a Burnley born that what is it like coming back? It is a strange
:50:30. > :50:32.game at times but you have to keep your head in the game and think
:50:33. > :50:36.about what you have got to do for the team and the three points are
:50:37. > :50:41.the most important thing. Nice to be back. What was the assessment of the
:50:42. > :50:45.red card? An eventful afternoon getting the winner and being sent
:50:46. > :50:56.off. I do not want to say things that will get me into trouble and I
:50:57. > :50:59.would like to look at it. Martin thought it was a red card. The
:51:00. > :51:01.decision stands. We had to get on with it and I'm pleased we got
:51:02. > :51:05.through the final 15 minutes with ten men and the three points were
:51:06. > :51:10.fantastic. Two wins for West Brom. The first time they have won their
:51:11. > :51:17.first two fixtures in the top flight since the year after you were born,
:51:18. > :51:26.Danny. 1978. Five years before you were born. A mixed day for
:51:27. > :51:33.Robson-Kanu. First and foremost let's deal with what was a terrific
:51:34. > :51:38.goal. A strong lad. He came on and would you believe it is the first
:51:39. > :51:45.shot on target in the game, 71 minutes. It was not a classic. Good
:51:46. > :51:51.strength. Well done to him. I think Tony Pulis and West Brom deserve
:51:52. > :51:55.credit for being hard to beat and well organised, which does not come
:51:56. > :52:01.easily. They are always difficult to play games. I think he is unlucky
:52:02. > :52:06.and I disagree with Sean Dyche. He does not take the arm away to hit
:52:07. > :52:13.him with it, he is leading with it. You see it from another angle and I
:52:14. > :52:19.do not think it is a red card. It is close. It is not a typical take your
:52:20. > :52:30.arm back and whack. Even his forearm. He has not thrown it.
:52:31. > :52:33.Referees get obsessed early in the season. Jonny Evans injured and
:52:34. > :52:40.looks like he might go to Manchester City. That would be a blow to West
:52:41. > :52:44.Brom? A huge blow. He has been a big part of how solid they are. For
:52:45. > :52:51.Manchester City, it is good business. Burnley, not their best
:52:52. > :52:56.day today. Not creating many chances. They are never
:52:57. > :52:57.free-flowing. Not at their best but that is credit to West Brom.
:52:58. > :53:25.Spurs are on their way to Wembley in Match of the Day 2.
:53:26. > :53:26.There's commentary of both games on 5Live
:53:27. > :53:32.Match of the Day 2 Extra gets things under way
:53:33. > :53:38.Look out for the Premier League Show on Thursday.

:53:43. > :53:46.on the iPlayer, or catch the whole programme from Monday morning.
:53:47. > :53:49.And Mo Farah's final race on the track is the highlight of
:53:50. > :53:52.Coverage begins on BBC Two at 1.30pm.
:53:53. > :54:22.Everton have a new teenage striking sensation.
:54:23. > :54:30.Sheringham, surely. It is in! Teddy Sheringham. The wise old campaigner
:54:31. > :54:31.has got West Ham back in the game with ten minutes to go.
:54:32. > :54:34.Two sides now who both lost on the opening weekend.
:54:35. > :54:36.Leicester went down in a seven-goal thriller at Arsenal,
:54:37. > :54:38.whilst Brighton were beaten 2-0 by Manchester City.
:54:39. > :54:47.Watching this one at the King Power Stadium was Steve Wilson.
:54:48. > :54:58.Flags, flames and the King Power Stadium at its best. Jamie Vardy
:54:59. > :55:04.looked at his best against Arsenal last week with two well taken goals
:55:05. > :55:10.which will spell trouble for any defence. As James puts injury behind
:55:11. > :55:21.him to start his first game for Leicester at home since 2015. Their
:55:22. > :55:25.new signing is not ready to be involved. And former Leicester man
:55:26. > :55:32.Anthony Knockaert is still on the Brighton bench. Lee pro Bert is the
:55:33. > :55:35.man in charge and Leicester City in blue get the game under way kicking
:55:36. > :55:38.from right to left against Brighton from right to left against Brighton
:55:39. > :55:55.Hove Albion. In predominantly yellow. Mahrez dispossessed.
:55:56. > :56:02.They are threatening here. Murray arriving in the middle. Solly March,
:56:03. > :56:11.as well. The attempt at a cross was blocked.
:56:12. > :56:34.Mahrez. Good feet. Cuts inside. Riyad Mahrez with the Magic! Okazaki
:56:35. > :56:41.with the finish. Brilliant stuff from Mahrez. This is why Roma keep
:56:42. > :56:49.bidding and bidding for him. Matt Ryan will be disappointed he did not
:56:50. > :56:58.hold the shot. Straight onto Okazaki's foot. Leicester away is no
:56:59. > :57:06.easier than their opening game of the season against Manchester City.
:57:07. > :57:26.Well covered. Markus Suttner. Markus Suttner made a mistake. Jamie
:57:27. > :57:34.Vardy, second miskick. Stabbed away to Mahrez. The referee has given a
:57:35. > :57:40.free kick for offside. This could so easily have been 2-0. Okazaki was
:57:41. > :57:45.onto it. The first was blocked and then it was a miskick and as Okazaki
:57:46. > :57:58.comes back to get involved he comes back from an offside position.
:57:59. > :58:05.Steve Evans towards Murray, nicely done. They are appealing for
:58:06. > :58:12.handball and the referee is not interested. Clearing for Leicester,
:58:13. > :58:20.he should have done. Good play by Murray, touching it down invitingly
:58:21. > :58:24.for Murphy. Wes Morgan has moved his left arm. It might be tucked behind
:58:25. > :58:28.his back but he has moved it towards the ball as it came towards him. The
:58:29. > :58:49.referee was not remotely interested. Okazaki. A great bit of vision from
:58:50. > :58:54.Jamie Vardy and Okazaki was close to making it two. Jamie Vardy did not
:58:55. > :59:04.seem to have anywhere to go but he looks and anticipates and so does
:59:05. > :59:14.Okazaki. Forcing Christian Fuchs to go back to Maguire, March. Marc
:59:15. > :59:16.Albrighton. Free kick to Leicester. This came through the back of him,
:59:17. > :59:34.really, Bruno. Dangerous actually. Corner. Mahrez
:59:35. > :59:46.with the delivery. Some pace on that. And it's found its way in.
:59:47. > :59:53.Harry Maguire claims it. Well, the new man signed from Hull City, Harry
:59:54. > :00:01.Maguire, attacking it at the back post, and Leicester 2, Brighton 0.
:00:02. > :00:06.Looks a tall order for the visitors. . Young and old finding it difficult
:00:07. > :00:17.to watch it. Tony Bloom, the head man. Oh, that's a good save by
:00:18. > :00:21.Schmeichel though. Well hit, by Hemed. It's a shot on target.
:00:22. > :00:28.Something for Schmeichel to stretch for, and he hasn't had much to do.
:00:29. > :00:40.Albrighton. Trying to get the better of Bruno. Mahrez. Good block by
:00:41. > :00:47.Dunk. He did well here, Lewis Dunk. Mahrez in all kinds of space.
:00:48. > :00:53.Indicating four added minutes. Mahrez over the top to Slimani.
:00:54. > :00:58.Vardy is in the middle. And Vardy and Ryan come together and the
:00:59. > :01:04.decision is a corner. If you threw him a stick, Vardy would chase it.
:01:05. > :01:08.Vardy is down here for Leicester. A shake of the head here. Mahrez
:01:09. > :01:17.looking concerned, as are a lot of Leicester City fans. This is where
:01:18. > :01:24.he came in with Ryan. I can assume that is where he hurt himself. That
:01:25. > :01:27.is a worry. That is a plot object what has been a good day for
:01:28. > :01:31.Leicester City. Important it get the first three points of the season. A
:01:32. > :01:35.lot of pressure at home. You have to have a good home record. We are
:01:36. > :01:38.playing against a team who has come up and the momentum there. It didn't
:01:39. > :01:42.feel as comfortable as probably they all suggest. It's nice to get the
:01:43. > :01:45.three points. The timing of the two goals were very, sort of,
:01:46. > :01:50.detrimental to our play, particularly the first one. It's a
:01:51. > :01:55.learning curve for us. We've had two tough games. One against a very big
:01:56. > :01:59.team at home and against a very good side away from home. We'll certainly
:02:00. > :02:03.need to be better next game. We didn't let them have many chances, I
:02:04. > :02:07.think. A couple of shots from the edge of the box. Nothing clinical.
:02:08. > :02:11.No, it's a team effort today from strikers to defenders. Clean sheets
:02:12. > :02:14.coming through the team. We got that today. If we keep clean sheets
:02:15. > :02:20.between now and the end of the season we will win games. I was
:02:21. > :02:26.should haved when Leicester signed Harry Maguire, I liked him at Hull,
:02:27. > :02:29.but like him more at Leicester. Good signing, ?50 r15 million. ?15
:02:30. > :02:34.million. I have seen a lot of signings. Leicester have one of the
:02:35. > :02:37.best in terms of value-for-money. Great with his feet. He is like a
:02:38. > :02:41.midfielder at times. What I enjoyed him most today, watching him, how he
:02:42. > :02:45.did this. How comfortable he is driving forward, into the space.
:02:46. > :02:51.He's got plenty of pressure on him there. He finds a beautiful pass out
:02:52. > :02:54.to Mahrez. How is your touch? For a centre-half, it's one of those
:02:55. > :02:57.things that you go, it's nothing. He is as light on his toes as they
:02:58. > :03:02.come. He is always on the front foot. Winning the ball, constantly
:03:03. > :03:08.putting Leicester on the front foot also. He can get aggressive. A big
:03:09. > :03:13.lad as well. Too aggressive there. Wins the ball. Again, driving
:03:14. > :03:18.forward into that midfield area. Finding a beautifully weighted pass
:03:19. > :03:25.for Jamie Vardy who will enjoy playing with this lad. He goes by
:03:26. > :03:30.people. So nimble. He topped off an unbelievable display with his first
:03:31. > :03:35.goal. That was in a four. He has played in three where he you can go
:03:36. > :03:39.out. The other plus, possibly a plus, depends which way you look at
:03:40. > :03:45.it, the performance of Mahrez who was excellent today. He's one of
:03:46. > :03:49.those players linked with a move. Roma made a couple of bids. He has
:03:50. > :03:54.not been injured. He carried on and showed good attitude A refreshing
:03:55. > :03:58.attitude. This I say this risking criticism, he's kind of too good for
:03:59. > :04:04.Leicester now. No, no. No, no. He is. He is playing so well, with such
:04:05. > :04:08.confidence. Such skill and creativity ability he needs a bigger
:04:09. > :04:14.stage and play with better players to to see how good he can become. He
:04:15. > :04:18.has had a fairytale at Leicester and they have done well and given him a
:04:19. > :04:24.platform. He should be playing regularly in the Champions League
:04:25. > :04:29.and showing us his talents. You agree deep down. We could fall out
:04:30. > :04:30.here? He returned from pre-season. Showed the right attitude and
:04:31. > :04:35.playing well for his team. OK. After losing at West Brom,
:04:36. > :04:37.Bournemouth were back on home turf for the visit of Watford,
:04:38. > :04:40.who opened up with a 3-3 draw All four top-flight meetings
:04:41. > :04:43.between these two teams John Roder was at
:04:44. > :04:51.the Vitality Stadium. COMMENTATOR: Norwegian international
:04:52. > :04:54.Josh King scored in both 2-2 draws against Watford last season on his
:04:55. > :05:02.way to giltering 16 goals for the campaign. Bournemouth searching for
:05:03. > :05:07.their first goal of this bring in Jordan Ibe. Eddie Howe said Ibe was
:05:08. > :05:17.excellent in pre-season. Andre Grays makes his first start for Watford as
:05:18. > :05:21.does the Brazilian. Silva's first victory as Hull manager game against
:05:22. > :05:23.Eddie Howe's Bournemouth. Will his first win in charge at Watford come
:05:24. > :05:44.against the same opponents? Doucoure. Gomes with the clearance.
:05:45. > :05:51.To you are isman. Here is Arter. Here is King. He wants the little
:05:52. > :05:57.pullback. Fraser. Gets it across. It dropped there for Afobe. Over for a
:05:58. > :06:09.corner kick. Watford in a bit of trouble at the back. Plenty of
:06:10. > :06:13.attacking options for Marco Silva. He's got Okaka on the bench and
:06:14. > :06:22.Deeney amongst the Watford substitutes, the captain. Cook.
:06:23. > :06:31.There's Arter. Cook's long ball forward. Afobe on the chase. He's
:06:32. > :06:37.got in behind the defender. Afobe, pushed wide by Gomes. A tight angle
:06:38. > :06:48.here for Afobe. Almost having to palm it behind. Cleverley. Cleverley
:06:49. > :07:02.has continued his run forward. Here he is. Gray. He's found a way
:07:03. > :07:09.through, Gray! Scoops it over from close-range. It's the final chance
:07:10. > :07:14.of this first half. Bournemouth relieved as the half-time whistle
:07:15. > :07:21.blows. It remains 0-0. A chase on here for Fraser. Gets there first
:07:22. > :07:27.ahead of Britos. Fraser's ball in. Afobe arriving late, just turned
:07:28. > :07:39.away by Prodl. It's a Bournemouth corner. Plenty forward. Cook rising.
:07:40. > :07:45.Gomes makes the save. Steve Cook with the touch that was heading
:07:46. > :07:49.goalwards. It might well have rolled off the back of Britos. Here's
:07:50. > :08:00.Cleverley. In towards Amrabat, who has gone in behind the Bournemouth
:08:01. > :08:06.defence. This lump lump he left it, but why? Bournemouth able to clear
:08:07. > :08:11.through Harry Arter. That was extraordinary. Did Arter say
:08:12. > :08:24.anything to pause Chalobah to not make an attempt on goal. Ake. Robbed
:08:25. > :08:30.by Chalobah. Nathaniel Chalobah, bearing down on goal now for
:08:31. > :08:36.Watford. Begovic to beat. Begovic makes the save. Golden chance for
:08:37. > :08:45.the golden boys. Begovic, able to block the attempt from Chalobah.
:08:46. > :08:49.Lovely from Mark Pugh. Can't follow it up with a measured pass though.
:08:50. > :08:55.Here come Watford, it's three against three. Andre Gray.
:08:56. > :09:02.Richarlison in the middle. Richarlison with the touch. Watford
:09:03. > :09:07.are in front. The Brazilian under 20 international is off and running for
:09:08. > :09:13.the Hornets. He's been more and more involved as this march has
:09:14. > :09:18.progressed. And Watford breaking quickly here. The two summer
:09:19. > :09:23.signings, Andre Gray, with the ball into the middle, and although the
:09:24. > :09:28.first attempt was blocked, Richarlison able to stab home at the
:09:29. > :09:42.second attempt. Begovic and Smith were both stranded. And Watford
:09:43. > :09:53.lead. Pugh. Keeps the ball in play. Towards Defoe. King. Terrific chance
:09:54. > :09:58.for Birmingham to draw level. It owed everything here to the
:09:59. > :10:10.persistence of Marc Pugh, Can King unable to guide his header
:10:11. > :10:15.downwards and goalwards. Doucoure. Cleverley. Into the path of Andre
:10:16. > :10:21.Gray. It's a tight angle. Begovic able to kick it away, but just for a
:10:22. > :10:26.moment there was a little bit of uncertainty at the back. Capoue.
:10:27. > :10:37.That surely seals it for Watford. Capoue, on as a substitute, with a
:10:38. > :10:43.terrific strike to make it 2-0. Headed away by Cook. Clearance only
:10:44. > :10:50.as far as Capoue. How about that? One touch to control. One touch to
:10:51. > :10:58.fire it past Begovic. Bournemouth 0, Watford 2. For our players very,
:10:59. > :11:03.very good. To prepare for the match Watford did everything I want. We
:11:04. > :11:07.showed character again, very good attitude. In some moments very good
:11:08. > :11:10.football. I thought we were very disappointing, to be honest.
:11:11. > :11:14.Scratching my head as to why because, you know, I was expecting a
:11:15. > :11:18.really good performance today and I liked the team I picked. That
:11:19. > :11:23.didn't, you know, that didn't materialise. We're hugely
:11:24. > :11:26.disappointed. It looked as though you and Richarlison are putting up a
:11:27. > :11:30.nice partnership already, is that how you see it? Hopefully it can
:11:31. > :11:36.continue. Seem to be on the same wave length today. He is a very tap
:11:37. > :11:40.minded player and has the pace to get behind as well. Hopefully we can
:11:41. > :11:45.keep causing people problems and winsome more games. Good start for
:11:46. > :11:48.Marco Silva, five goals in two games. Looking good going forward?
:11:49. > :11:51.That's the point. There was games. Looking good going forward?
:11:52. > :11:55.That's the point. There was a lot of disconsent wasn't there in the type
:11:56. > :11:58.of football they were watching in the second-half of the season,
:11:59. > :12:02.especially. There seems to be a change in tactics, if you like.
:12:03. > :12:09.They've got great pace in the side now. Good options. We saw Gray
:12:10. > :12:13.today. Richarlison and Gray linked up well. Like running in behind,
:12:14. > :12:18.hard to play against. On the bench of course you have Okaka who started
:12:19. > :12:21.the season brightly and Deeney. There seems to be in the last two
:12:22. > :12:26.games more emphasis on getting men in the box. Three goals at home to
:12:27. > :12:31.Liverpool, of course. Today, they had a lot of chances. They could
:12:32. > :12:35.have scored more. They looked really dynamic. Richarlison, who was
:12:36. > :12:38.refreshing to me, I didn't know too much about him. Wanted to take
:12:39. > :12:46.people on. Got his rewards with the goal there. Really healthy start.
:12:47. > :12:51.Certainly is. Interesting moment in the game when Chalobah let the ball
:12:52. > :12:56.go. We might have an explanation. Here you go. We can laugh about it
:12:57. > :13:04.now because they won 2-0, obviously. I'm pretty sure you can see that
:13:05. > :13:10.Harry Arter screams "leave it, it's mine." It should be a foul. It
:13:11. > :13:16.should be a foul. Chalobah is not entirely happy. Can you see the
:13:17. > :13:18.funny side of it. You certainly can. Tough start for Bournemouth.
:13:19. > :13:20.Crystal Palace travelled to Liverpool looking for a fourth
:13:21. > :13:23.straight league win at Anfiel - a feat that's not been
:13:24. > :13:25.achieved by any club since Arsenal back in 1935.
:13:26. > :13:31.Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton.
:13:32. > :13:39.It is all changed for Liverpool with the Champions League play-offs
:13:40. > :13:43.looming large. Sturridge Milner starting for the first time this
:13:44. > :13:52.season as does new signing Robertson, Gomes, who comes in at
:13:53. > :13:53.the back. Andros Townsend and Tomkins coming in for Crystal
:13:54. > :14:05.Palace. Through ball towards Wijnaldum,
:14:06. > :14:16.surging forward and a poor clearance by Wayne Hennessey. Lucky that Jason
:14:17. > :14:22.Puncheon and then Millard J Vic -- Milivojevic were able to get the
:14:23. > :14:27.ball away. Straight into the gloves of the Crystal Palace goalkeeper.
:14:28. > :14:33.Nice play from Liverpool on the near side. I'm sure it has been an
:14:34. > :14:39.intense week on the training pitch is for the Crystal Palace players.
:14:40. > :14:49.Robertson makes the pass and continues his run. A nice idea from
:14:50. > :14:54.Firmino. Gareth Southgate, England manager, in the crowd with the
:14:55. > :15:02.former Liverpool manager. Wijnaldum was clearly held by Joel Ward. A
:15:03. > :15:07.straightforward decision. Liverpool keen to get on with the game.
:15:08. > :15:12.Robertson had the chance to put the delivery in the penalty area and
:15:13. > :15:26.Hennessy did not get there and somehow the ball does not end up in
:15:27. > :15:31.the net from Joel Matip. Henderson makes the run-up towards the edge of
:15:32. > :15:37.the penalty area and room for Firmino. Sturridge, lovely term,
:15:38. > :15:42.brilliant skill. All that was missing was the finish. Razor sharp
:15:43. > :15:50.close control from Daniel Sturridge to create the shooting opportunity.
:15:51. > :15:55.It is all Liverpool, but can they show more incisiveness in the final
:15:56. > :16:01.third and forced the breakthrough? Robertson getting forward once more.
:16:02. > :16:06.Plenty of that from him. At full stretch, Scott Dann puts it behind
:16:07. > :16:13.for a corner, Liverpool's first of the game. Robertson, and Milner
:16:14. > :16:21.wanted the ball back. Robertson's cross. Hitting the far post.
:16:22. > :16:22.Robertson causing problems with his deliveries from the left-hand side,
:16:23. > :16:36.again. Away from Puncheon and finding
:16:37. > :16:42.Firmino and brings the save from Hennessy. Milner cannot get the
:16:43. > :16:51.follow-up. Fosu-Mensah made sure he could not. Neatly done.
:16:52. > :16:59.Loftus-Cheek. Puncheon brings the save from Mignolet and suddenly the
:17:00. > :17:07.game springs to life with action from both ends of the pitch. This
:17:08. > :17:13.shot from the Beano and at the other end of the pitch, this save to deny
:17:14. > :17:17.Jason Puncheon. Both teams have scored in the last ten meetings
:17:18. > :17:25.between the clubs, averaging 3.9 goals per game. Still waiting for a
:17:26. > :17:29.first one today. Fosu-Mensah out to Loftus-Cheek and good play by
:17:30. > :17:36.Loftus-Cheek. He did really well. Benteke! What a chance for Crystal
:17:37. > :17:40.Palace. Super play from Loftus-Cheek, big, strong and
:17:41. > :17:54.powerful and Benteke unable to take advantage. Mohamed Salah against
:17:55. > :18:03.Tomkins. He has the pace to test. Tomkins with enough on the ball to
:18:04. > :18:10.hold him up. Into Sadio Mane. The block falls to Wijnaldum. A real
:18:11. > :18:20.scramble. In the end, it was an easy save. A rare flurry of excitement in
:18:21. > :18:34.the Crystal Palace penalty area. You do not see many goalmouth scrambles
:18:35. > :18:42.like that. James Milner. Solanke, through the centre. Does not quite
:18:43. > :18:50.reach him. Mane was there. Liverpool lead with 18 minutes to go. Sadio
:18:51. > :18:57.Mane scores for the second week running in the new season. Combining
:18:58. > :19:02.with Robertson and Milivojevic with a bobble and a ricochet, which fell
:19:03. > :19:04.in the path of Mane, who continued his opportunistic run into the
:19:05. > :19:12.penalty area. Liverpool ahead.
:19:13. > :19:27.The block made by Fosu-Mensah. It fell kindly for Robertson. That
:19:28. > :19:34.would have kept up a fine debut for Robertson. Hennessy tipping it over
:19:35. > :19:40.the crossbar. I love the goal we scored because it
:19:41. > :19:48.was not our best. The ball was pretty much away and Solanke puts
:19:49. > :19:53.his foot in. He can win the ball back and Mane was there. He is a
:19:54. > :20:02.striker and you have to have a nose for these moments. They made changes
:20:03. > :20:06.and some of the boys got a rest but the squad is good and anybody who
:20:07. > :20:10.comes in can compete for place and we proved that today. It was
:20:11. > :20:15.difficult but we managed to get the three points. You know you do not
:20:16. > :20:21.get many chances when you come to Anfield but Benteke had a good one.
:20:22. > :20:29.Yes, around 60 minutes, something like that, we had a good chance. You
:20:30. > :20:35.do not get that many as you have already said. We have to punish them
:20:36. > :20:42.at that moment and you want to score, but unluckily for us he
:20:43. > :20:47.didn't. Missing a player is not good for anybody but for this moment not
:20:48. > :20:52.to change. Like everything else, nothing changed. It is a club
:20:53. > :20:57.decision, not mine. It is not important what I would say about it.
:20:58. > :21:04.It is a club decision, they did it. At this moment he is not available
:21:05. > :21:12.for us and that is all I can say. Coutinho has outgrown Liverpool? Do
:21:13. > :21:20.you think? No. Another former Hull man made an impression, Robertson at
:21:21. > :21:24.full-back. I was hoping they would go for a big game at left-back but
:21:25. > :21:30.this lad had a debut that will be remembered a long time. His crossing
:21:31. > :21:34.was fantastic. I remember one bat one he hit but the rest were on the
:21:35. > :21:38.money. Liverpool should have been ahead. We have more touches than
:21:39. > :21:45.anyone else on the pitch which says a lot for a left-back. Confident.
:21:46. > :21:52.Got in these areas and produced good quality. We will see over the season
:21:53. > :21:56.defensively what he is like. Sometimes he got isolated at Hull
:21:57. > :22:02.and struggled but going forward, as good as I have seen. He made to run
:22:03. > :22:11.after run. In the second half, he did not stop. What I liked, I
:22:12. > :22:19.remember Patrice Evra at united did that come on the inside. Very
:22:20. > :22:25.promising signs for Robertson. I am wondering how Hull went down. It is
:22:26. > :22:28.interesting, the rotation. Five changes from the side who won in the
:22:29. > :22:36.Champions League in the week and it almost backfired. It really did. The
:22:37. > :22:41.result was huge for him but he will have to rotate the team throughout
:22:42. > :22:46.the season. Crystal Palace, signs of improvement? Well-balanced today,
:22:47. > :22:50.had a real go, could have gone a goal up with Benteke missing a
:22:51. > :22:58.sitter. Better than last week. Thank you very much. Before we go, we can
:22:59. > :23:03.look at the Premier League table. Manchester United and West Brom
:23:04. > :23:08.maintained their 100% start while Watford, Liverpool and Southampton
:23:09. > :23:12.are also unbeaten. Four teams have lost both matches. West Ham's
:23:13. > :23:23.inferior goal difference means they probably table. The Sunday papers.
:23:24. > :23:28.The Sunday express report that Barcelona are set to up their bid
:23:29. > :23:36.for Liverpool's Coutinho to ?130 million. The Mail on Sunday say
:23:37. > :23:41.Atletico Madrid are preparing a ?50 million move for Diego Costa.
:23:42. > :23:45.Southampton steal the show as Austin powers them to victory.
