:00:17. > :00:24.Good afternoon and welcome to the results show, nice to have you with
:00:25. > :00:33.us. Who needs facial navigation technology when you have guests,
:00:34. > :00:36.once glimpsed, never forgotten. Marc Wilson and Stuart Cosgrove, I will
:00:37. > :00:42.leave you to work out which is which! You might not see our
:00:43. > :00:50.reporters that you will definitely hear them which is a good thing,
:00:51. > :00:54.starting right now. To Tannadice where Dundee United are playing
:00:55. > :01:00.second from bottom Kilmarnock. It is 4-0, without question United's best
:01:01. > :01:04.performance of the season, dominating what looks like a
:01:05. > :01:12.beleaguered Kilmarnock side. All four goals in the first half. Mark
:01:13. > :01:21.Durnan, John Rankin and Spittal with the goals. Let's go up the table and
:01:22. > :01:26.find out what is happening at Celtic Park where the leaders are at home
:01:27. > :01:31.against St Johnstone. Celtic heading for their fifth league win in a row.
:01:32. > :01:36.Two from Gary Mackay-Steven and one from Armstrong, St. Johnstone were
:01:37. > :01:44.up the list but the home team are on course for three points. Alistair
:01:45. > :01:49.Lamb and is at Fir Park. It is to Noh to Ross County, Motherwell
:01:50. > :01:53.hoping to recover from their annihilation last week but it is
:01:54. > :01:58.County during the business. Irvine got them off and running and that
:01:59. > :02:08.was added to by Graham. The visitors in control. Next to the high lines
:02:09. > :02:13.-- Highlands. 0-0, both teams would move up the league with a point. It
:02:14. > :02:18.started brightly with the home team missing some early chances, Storey
:02:19. > :02:25.should have netted, he had a brilliant long-range strike that
:02:26. > :02:31.journey tipped over. -- Cerny. Let's go to Easter Road, find out what is
:02:32. > :02:38.happening between Hibernian and St Mirren. Hibs are looking to close
:02:39. > :02:45.the gap to two ponds and looking good for it. A wonderful free kick
:02:46. > :02:52.from Henderson -- two points. St Mirren have barely threatened a
:02:53. > :03:03.leveller. Anthony Stokes has come on as a substitute. And now Falkirk
:03:04. > :03:08.against Livingston. Falkirk want to keep up their momentum to keep up
:03:09. > :03:18.with the top two. At the moment they are being held. Sibbald put them in
:03:19. > :03:21.front just before the interval but Buchanan equalised five minutes into
:03:22. > :03:30.the second half. The Falkirk defence could not deal with the ball. 1-1.
:03:31. > :03:35.Welcome to the show. As a former Dundee United defender, we are
:03:36. > :03:41.watching pictures of their match, can you believe it? Part of me can.
:03:42. > :03:47.I tipped them to win the game today. But it's so unusual for them to be
:03:48. > :03:54.playing like this. The difference in the team... There is a real
:03:55. > :03:59.character. Every corner and throw in, they look like a team possessed.
:04:00. > :04:08.You can see the effects of what a clearly meeting can do. Have you
:04:09. > :04:14.ever experienced that? Do they work? Sometimes. On this occasion it is.
:04:15. > :04:17.Dundee United look to have changed their formation, I don't know if
:04:18. > :04:24.that comes from the players speaking to the manager, but they have
:04:25. > :04:31.changed to 4-4-2 and it is working. Time for a clear the air meeting at
:04:32. > :04:36.McDiarmid Park? Obviously Celtic are very strong at home. We are doing
:04:37. > :04:42.better than in our last meeting. By all accounts, Hallam has come back
:04:43. > :04:50.and event is pace on the right. We nearly scored again quite recently.
:04:51. > :04:56.It is not done yet but you would have to say that Celtic are
:04:57. > :04:59.favourites. And St. Johnstone ad gone five games without scoring
:05:00. > :05:05.before this. Steven MacLean back on the scoresheet. It is fantastic
:05:06. > :05:09.because he is one of these great link up players. He is very
:05:10. > :05:17.talented, he can hold the ball and find someone, whether a midfielder
:05:18. > :05:23.or a another striker. He is well into double figures so he can score
:05:24. > :05:28.himself. Just keep him away from the penalties! Ross County beating
:05:29. > :05:34.Motherwell, that seems a bit surprising. Not from the pictures.
:05:35. > :05:43.Motherwell looked to be on the up, they turned a corner and Mark McGhee
:05:44. > :05:47.had them playing some good football. And then the collapse against Hearts
:05:48. > :05:54.and that looks to have had an effect because looking at it today, Ross
:05:55. > :06:01.County could have had more. Not a great game in the Highlands, only
:06:02. > :06:08.one chance. It is pay what you like day as well! They might not think an
:06:09. > :06:12.awful lot of it! It is disappointing, people want goals and
:06:13. > :06:18.action and it is a disappointing score for both teams but ironically,
:06:19. > :06:22.when you look at the table, if you can get a point away from home,
:06:23. > :06:27.Partick Thistle will feel that is worth having. Now to the Friday
:06:28. > :06:30.night football, Aberdeen had a chance to reduce Celtic Boss lead to
:06:31. > :06:38.the top for a while, but they would have to beat Dundee at Pittodrie and
:06:39. > :06:42.they certainly did. Just one goal in it, coming from an unsurprising
:06:43. > :06:49.source in Adam Rooney. Such a vital player for them. Who else is going
:06:50. > :06:53.to score? He has so many this season, I think that is number 16
:06:54. > :06:58.and he is always in the right place at the right time. A lot of those
:06:59. > :07:03.were penalties, but this shows his striking awareness. He knows there
:07:04. > :07:11.is a chance, the writeback can't do too much. Rooney is in there to tuck
:07:12. > :07:18.it away. A really good goal in terms of an important goal. He will never
:07:19. > :07:25.be as good as Benny Rooney! But the other thing, that was the type of
:07:26. > :07:32.game Aberdeen might have conceded points, it needed to be done. Ten
:07:33. > :07:37.games unbeaten now. Impressive, and if you look at it, like the run they
:07:38. > :07:42.went on at the start of the season before they went off the rails, if
:07:43. > :07:47.Derek McInnes is analysing this run, the games he will be annoyed at
:07:48. > :07:52.other draws against Partick Thistle and Inverness. They could have gone
:07:53. > :07:57.top. Although they did not get beaten, it was still an opportunity.
:07:58. > :08:02.It is great to be on a run but those results will still be in his mind.
:08:03. > :08:10.We can hear from Derek McInnes and what he said after the match and
:08:11. > :08:14.also from Paul Hartley. It is only 1-0, and with their quality you are
:08:15. > :08:20.never totally relaxed. But we have to enjoy the result. It was a strong
:08:21. > :08:28.performance tonight and a lot of good play. The first half was end to
:08:29. > :08:33.end at times. Bain was in inspired form. We had chances at the other
:08:34. > :08:35.end, the second half was a bit scrappy,
:08:36. > :08:38.end, the second half was a bit better. We could have nicked it at
:08:39. > :08:41.the end but better. We could have nicked it at
:08:42. > :08:45.with the effort and attitude better. We could have nicked it at
:08:46. > :08:53.work ethic. The shape was brilliant also. Celtic looked to be reopening
:08:54. > :08:59.that lead back to six points but Aberdeen's next match is against
:09:00. > :09:02.Celtic at Pittodrie. And their last defeat was against Celtic. It is a
:09:03. > :09:11.massive game. Aberdeen have shown they can beat Celtic at Pittodrie
:09:12. > :09:16.already this season. Interesting to see how it pans out.
:09:17. > :09:22.already this season. Interesting to forward to. Do you think they can
:09:23. > :09:26.stay the course? We made the point that they have won before at
:09:27. > :09:31.Pittodrie, they have to win this one. Anything else and Celtic go
:09:32. > :09:37.away. A lot of Hearts fans will be watching to see if Aberdeen can take
:09:38. > :09:44.Celtic and make it more interesting at the top. There has been a goal at
:09:45. > :09:53.Tannadice. Another one for United. And what a goal, it came from Sean
:09:54. > :09:58.Dillon. He picked it up midway inside the Kilmarnock half, got the
:09:59. > :10:02.break of the ball in the box and he was well inside the six yard box
:10:03. > :10:11.when he put it beyond Jamie MacDonald into the back of the net.
:10:12. > :10:18.That means that all ten outfield players were inside that box
:10:19. > :10:23.praising Sean Dillon. He is taking the applause of the huge crowd here.
:10:24. > :10:29.5-0 and that does not do it justice, they have completely dominated
:10:30. > :10:37.Kilmarnock in every area. They believe they can survive. They might
:10:38. > :10:46.well do. Let's head to Celtic Park. Still 3-1. A thoroughly enjoyable
:10:47. > :10:52.game. Two for Mackay-Steven and one for Armstrong, Steven MacLean got
:10:53. > :11:01.the equaliser for St. Johnstone. A sweet flick on the near post after
:11:02. > :11:06.some good running. Since Johnson have been impressive despite the
:11:07. > :11:13.scoreline -- St. Johnstone. Gordon made a great save from Liam Craig.
:11:14. > :11:18.But you would expect Celtic to restore their lead act to six points
:11:19. > :11:30.at the top. It is game on at Fir Park. Motherwell have got the goal,
:11:31. > :11:36.it is Stephen Pearson you have got it with four minutes left. A corner
:11:37. > :11:42.fell to Pearson about 12 yards out and he put the laces through it with
:11:43. > :11:48.his left foot and smashed it past Scott Fox as Motherwell go forward
:11:49. > :11:52.again! McFadden almost lobbed Fox but he just got his finger tips to
:11:53. > :12:02.it. Motherwell will be doing everything they can to get a point
:12:03. > :12:10.from this but it is still 2-1. Are you enjoying yourself any more at
:12:11. > :12:15.Inverness? We had a little spark of action, Miles Storey dribbled to the
:12:16. > :12:19.byline and cut it back and there was Liam Polworth, we thought he would
:12:20. > :12:26.score but he put it in his past the post when he had to score. We can go
:12:27. > :12:32.to Easter Road, Hibs against St Mirren. They have brought on Anthony
:12:33. > :12:41.Stokes for his debut and they should have gone 3-1 up. Liam Fontaine with
:12:42. > :12:47.a header but he put it over the bar. Jamie Langley and a bit of luck have
:12:48. > :13:03.combined to keep the score at 2-1. Hibs are looking to go within two
:13:04. > :13:08.points of Rangers at the top. Time to hear about Livingston and
:13:09. > :13:13.Falkirk. Six minutes left and a frustrating afternoon for Falkirk
:13:14. > :13:17.who want to win to stay in second place but they are being frustrated
:13:18. > :13:23.by Livingston. Falkirk took the lead through Craig Sibbald with a goal
:13:24. > :13:35.that the home defence made a mess of. And then Liam Buchanan's 10th of
:13:36. > :13:39.the season equalised, again the defence at fault. Kevin O'Hara has
:13:40. > :13:44.missed an absolute sitter to put Falkirk in front. Frustrating for
:13:45. > :13:52.them. We can head back to Tannadice where there has been another goal.
:13:53. > :13:56.One assumes it is a sixth. Incorrect! It has come for
:13:57. > :14:02.Kilmarnock, a corner from the left and Josh Magennis with a near post
:14:03. > :14:12.header that went John and Kawashima. Too little, too late -- beyond
:14:13. > :14:23.Kawashima. A couple of talking points, Hibs have brought on Anthony
:14:24. > :14:29.Stokes, 2-1 up against St Mirren, Inverness can't score, they need
:14:30. > :14:37.strikers but Stokes goes for a dive club. It is odd if you are looking
:14:38. > :14:43.at the league ladder but not at momentum. No question that Hibs play
:14:44. > :14:50.a game that best suits him. There is also a sense of him wanting to prove
:14:51. > :14:57.that he is still a worthy Celtic player. And much to go to, League
:14:58. > :15:01.Cup semifinal next week against St Johnstone at Tynecastle, he has
:15:02. > :15:05.things to look forward to. On Vallance he would rather be playing
:15:06. > :15:10.for Hibs having for the Championship than Inverness in that battle for
:15:11. > :15:20.who is going into the play-off places -- on balance. It is Hamilton
:15:21. > :15:24.against Hearts tomorrow. There could be goals galore if both teams most
:15:25. > :15:30.recent outings are anything to go by, here is the evidence for that.
:15:31. > :15:34.Exhibit one, Hamilton's visit to Celtic Park in midweek.
:15:35. > :15:41.Hamilton fans look away now. This was a horror show. When you go to
:15:42. > :15:50.Celtic Park, they carve you up. Fantastic goals. That was a great
:15:51. > :15:57.one. You fear for them. It could have been more here.
:15:58. > :16:01.I watched them against St Johnstone. They defended.
:16:02. > :16:08.St Johnstone threw in the box. They were more direct.
:16:09. > :16:12.Hearts playing that way could be better equipped to deal with such
:16:13. > :16:18.problems. Stuart, looking into middle space?
:16:19. > :16:24.Because of a theory that I have. I am not a fan of the player/manager.
:16:25. > :16:29.I think it is difficult if he comes in to strengthen the back four or to
:16:30. > :16:33.remain as the manager there. It is a difficult decision to make. He has
:16:34. > :16:40.come under criticism. Do you think he will play tomorrow? I don't think
:16:41. > :16:46.it works, player/manager. I don't think he can cons strait on the team
:16:47. > :16:52.when on the pitch. In contrast, Hearts, gave Motherwell
:16:53. > :16:56.a pasting last Saturday, 6-0. Hearts can do it. They have the
:16:57. > :17:00.players and the confidence. The team is on top of their game.
:17:01. > :17:05.Like Aberdeen, they can score plenty goals. I was surprised when I heard
:17:06. > :17:13.the scoreline. Motherwell are a team on the up.
:17:14. > :17:21.Mark McGee came out to say that they would give it a go but on the day
:17:22. > :17:27.they were blown away. Where do you stand on the debate on the side?
:17:28. > :17:31.Overly robust. The other thing is the surprising results. No-one
:17:32. > :17:38.predicted the hammering that Motherwell took, apart from Mark who
:17:39. > :17:44.has tangerine eyes, nobody predicted Dundee United win either.
:17:45. > :17:48.Convincing, 5-1. And big results. There is a lot of unpredictable
:17:49. > :17:55.things happening in the league. That is good.
:17:56. > :18:01.This could be predictable. A goal at Easter Road and a predictable
:18:02. > :18:07.scorer? Anthony stokes, he got the goal. I did not give you time to
:18:08. > :18:14.answer the question, he tapped in as he came on as a subcity document
:18:15. > :18:18.He will not get an easier one than this. It was lovely on the left-hand
:18:19. > :18:26.side. Put on a plate for the Irishman. I was to say it was an on
:18:27. > :18:31.loan Celtic player who made a big impression, today, not Stokes. That
:18:32. > :18:40.a was he unanimous Henderson. Who did a wonderful kick for his goal.
:18:41. > :18:43.And McGinn, also produced a deficit. But Stokes, the new boy Hasapoped
:18:44. > :18:49.one home. When he asked me, I was going to say
:18:50. > :18:53.Thompson. So, Stuart, is it Hibs and St
:18:54. > :18:58.Johnstone next week a match to look forward to with confidence? I always
:18:59. > :19:02.go to games with a wee bit of confidence. St Johnstone are a good
:19:03. > :19:07.team. It is set up to be a fantastic game of football. Open ended. Both
:19:08. > :19:11.teams want to play football. I have a feeling we have something in the
:19:12. > :19:17.locker that we have not proved in the last month. I noticed that Alan
:19:18. > :19:22.Stubbs was saying that Hibs could win the treble. Yes. This including
:19:23. > :19:28.a cup that they have not won in 110 years! I had to check that fact.
:19:29. > :19:33.Good luck to that. That is you talking down Peter Head
:19:34. > :19:39.again? I think it will be a great game of football. Disappointed that
:19:40. > :19:44.the SPFL have not sorted out the ticket situation. And St Johnstone
:19:45. > :19:49.fans have been denied where they have been unable to get tickets due
:19:50. > :19:57.to the allocations sold out. But that said, it should be a good game.
:19:58. > :20:04.I'm going 2-1 to St Johnstone. It is a wee bit curious, the ticket
:20:05. > :20:09.situation. Not secures, outrageous. I think it will be a good game of
:20:10. > :20:15.football with two sides. I'm going for a Hibs victory. I the signing of
:20:16. > :20:21.Anthony Stokes could be the boost that they need. He wanted the game
:20:22. > :20:28.at Tannadice. And looking at Tannadice, 5-1 to
:20:29. > :20:34.United to take them to within 11 points of Kilmarnock, does it begin
:20:35. > :20:39.to look realistic, the avoiding of chances of relegation? I felt today
:20:40. > :20:45.that they needed to win this for any sort of chance. Now they have
:20:46. > :20:49.another two or three important games with Thistle, Motherwell and
:20:50. > :20:56.Hamilton away. That is three important games. The momentum and
:20:57. > :20:59.the confidence to take, could put them in good straights going
:21:00. > :21:05.forward. And Motherwell have lost at home to
:21:06. > :21:10.Ross County. Alastair can fill us in.
:21:11. > :21:14.County County surviving a late flurry from Motherwell to claim
:21:15. > :21:21.their first league win. Moving up to fourth in the Premiership in the
:21:22. > :21:29.process. Jackson irvain gave them the lead. There was an injury in the
:21:30. > :21:36.warm-up and Irvine came on. He defendantly controlled a corner
:21:37. > :21:42.deep to the back post beforelashing it forwards despite the best efforts
:21:43. > :21:48.of one of the Motherwell defenders. County County controlled the match
:21:49. > :21:52.after. Brian Graham doubled their advantage in the second half. Firing
:21:53. > :22:00.in to a fairly straightforward finish. It looked like the points
:22:01. > :22:08.were wrapped up, then Stephen Pearson smashed in a goal. Then a
:22:09. > :22:13.barnstorming finish and Scot Fox required to save a brilliant
:22:14. > :22:20.one-handed save. Ross County County had done enough. They took the three
:22:21. > :22:30.points. 2-1 to Ross County.
:22:31. > :22:39.And now over to the match of Celtic v St Johnstone.
:22:40. > :22:46.The story of the game, well, Gary Mackay's goal.
:22:47. > :22:52.Great running on the right-hand side from the Rangers target, Michael
:22:53. > :22:59.Hallerhan. And ten minutes after the interval,
:23:00. > :23:06.Gary MacKay-Steven again making it 3-1, stroking past mannis.
:23:07. > :23:12.Great effort cleared off the line. And Gordon pulling off a fantastic
:23:13. > :23:27.save. Celtic clicked at the key times. Gary Mackay in particular.
:23:28. > :23:34.The top of the pool well deserved. And now let's hear how it finished
:23:35. > :23:40.at Caledonian Thistle against Inverness.
:23:41. > :23:46.The homeside started well with Andrea Mbuyi-Mutombo and Vigurs
:23:47. > :23:52.going close. It looked all set for an
:23:53. > :23:57.entertaining match but Ross Draper had a close range header from a
:23:58. > :24:03.tight angle. Almost crept in. A claim for a penalty was waved away.
:24:04. > :24:13.The second half was poor, other than a fantastic long-range effort. The
:24:14. > :24:20.chance of the match when the ball was placed wide.
:24:21. > :24:29.An important game for Thistle. The big story of the day coming from
:24:30. > :24:36.Tannadice from Brian McGloughlin. A standing ovation for the United
:24:37. > :24:39.players after a 5-1 win. The best performance of the season. 4-0 up
:24:40. > :24:45.after the break. A complete performance.
:24:46. > :24:51.The players were drilling the ball into the bottom corner. Durnan with
:24:52. > :24:56.a header for the club. Before Spittal grabbing his second of the
:24:57. > :25:01.afternoon. Then John Rankin making it forward with a volley. Number
:25:02. > :25:13.five came from the captain, Shaun dillion. An amazing run.
:25:14. > :25:16.Josh Magennis scored a consolation goal for Kilmarnock. Now Dundee
:25:17. > :25:21.United have hope of survival. The gap at the bottom is down to 11
:25:22. > :25:28.points, they have a game in hand. On this evidence they will prove as if
:25:29. > :25:33.they can catch Kilmarnock. It finished here at packed Tannadice.
:25:34. > :25:37.Now to Easter Road for the full-time report. Watching Hibernian against
:25:38. > :25:42.St Mirren. No problem for Hibs. A comfortable
:25:43. > :25:49.victory, it should have been a more impressive victory. 3-1 it ended.
:25:50. > :25:56.The headlines about Anthony stokes. It began with a free kick by
:25:57. > :26:03.Henderson. Over Jamie Langfield in the first half. Added two, John
:26:04. > :26:14.McGinn against his old club. A good play by Jason Cummings.
:26:15. > :26:18.Stevie Mallon with a free kick gave St Mirren hope. A terrific finish
:26:19. > :26:23.from Mallan. But Hibs had St Mirren hope. A terrific finish
:26:24. > :26:27.after chance in the second half. Pall Hanlon saw a header tipped over
:26:28. > :26:33.by Jamie Langfield, and Pall Hanlon saw a header tipped over
:26:34. > :26:39.third goal arrived. It had to be Stokes. He could not marks he did
:26:40. > :26:42.third goal arrived. It had to be not miss, it finished in the capital
:26:43. > :26:49.with Hibernian three, not miss, it finished in the capital
:26:50. > :26:56.And then to Falkirk against not miss, it finished in the capital
:26:57. > :26:58.Dominating large parts not miss, it finished in the capital
:26:59. > :27:01.for a point so not miss, it finished in the capital
:27:02. > :27:07.go above them in the second place in the table.
:27:08. > :27:20.Falkirk dominated in the first half. Taking the lead in the 44th minute.
:27:21. > :27:27.That was a lead that they held for five minutes by Sibbald. Then the
:27:28. > :27:31.Falkirk defence made a mess of a cross, and Buchanan knocked a goal
:27:32. > :27:39.into the net. After that Falkirk again dominated. A great chance by
:27:40. > :27:47.Paul ball son. And a superb header from Kerr but a
:27:48. > :27:52.fantastic save by Livingston. Kevin O'Hara on as a substitute,
:27:53. > :27:58.should have scored but knocked it past the post. Frustration for
:27:59. > :28:03.Falkirk. It finish, Livingston, one, Falkirk, one.
:28:04. > :28:10.And now good afternoon Sandra Brown, watching Queen of the South against
:28:11. > :28:21.Alloa athletic. The game here for the first time in
:28:22. > :28:26.six weeks... Oh, cut off. It finished in a 1-0 win for Queen
:28:27. > :28:31.of the South. A great result again for Hibs.
:28:32. > :28:37.Taking them back to second with a game in hand over Falkirk.
:28:38. > :28:42.It is what hobs have to do. To win the games that they are expected to
:28:43. > :28:48.win if they are to keep up with Rangers. Anthony stokes will help
:28:49. > :28:54.them along the way. He will score goals.
:28:55. > :28:58.Falkirk were due a wee stumble? I think if you are a Falkirk fan you
:28:59. > :29:02.will be going home really disappointed. That, on at least on
:29:03. > :29:08.the surface of it, it was three points for them. I think that they
:29:09. > :29:13.are the unsung heroes of that league. Everyone talking about
:29:14. > :29:18.Rangers, Hibs, it is disappointing that they have lost ground. But they
:29:19. > :29:24.are still in the hunt. And one assumes that they will
:29:25. > :29:29.finish in the play-off spot. All that much, if you finish second or
:29:30. > :29:34.third? Of course it does! Of course, if they finish third it means that
:29:35. > :29:40.they have fallen back. I think that they could seriously still hurt
:29:41. > :29:45.either Rangers or Hibs because if you look at it, they can cut
:29:46. > :29:50.somebody's throat. It is the old adage, we might not win the league
:29:51. > :29:58.but we can decide who does. Right, chaps, it is time to go to
:29:59. > :30:02.the classifieds results round-up. So, the trusty fourth official and
:30:03. > :33:37.off we go with the Ladbrokes Scottish Premiership.
:33:38. > :33:45.Time for a look at the league tables, Celtic are now six points
:33:46. > :33:58.clear of Aberdeen again after a good win this afternoon. Dundee United
:33:59. > :34:04.now 11 points behind Kilmarnock. Ross County are up to fourth place
:34:05. > :34:12.after a good win. Hibs are back into second after a good win at home
:34:13. > :34:17.against St Mirren, two points behind Rangers who play Moreton on Monday.
:34:18. > :34:28.Livingston are five clear of Alloa Athletic. -- Morton.
:34:29. > :34:42.Ayr United narrowed the gap slightly at the top.
:34:43. > :34:51.Two points is the deficit between East Stirlingshire and Berwick
:34:52. > :34:59.Rangers. Letta City are back on top after beating Stoke City 3-0.
:35:00. > :35:05.Arsenal and Manchester City are yet to play this weekend. Man United
:35:06. > :35:08.lost at home against Southampton. Aston Villa are six behind
:35:09. > :35:31.Sunderland. The bottom does not change much.
:35:32. > :35:39.Bolton Wanderers are still there but just one point behind Charlton with
:35:40. > :35:45.Bristol City also in trouble. Let's get some details of the matches in
:35:46. > :35:50.the English Premier League. This had more goals than the game at
:35:51. > :35:56.Tannadice, Norwich against Liverpool, a remarkable match.
:35:57. > :36:01.Possibly the game of the season at Carrow Road. Won by Adam Lallana
:36:02. > :36:08.deep into the fifth minute of stoppage time. That after Sebastien
:36:09. > :36:13.Bassong with a brilliant shot from the edge of the area had made it 4-4
:36:14. > :36:19.in the second minute of stoppage time. Where to start? Liverpool lead
:36:20. > :36:24.through Firmino early on, Mbokani made it 1-1, Steven Naismith put
:36:25. > :36:32.Norwich in front on his debut. Hoolahan's penalty made it 3-1 but
:36:33. > :36:35.Liverpool came back, Henderson immediately, Firmino again and then
:36:36. > :36:40.Liverpool came back, Henderson Milner after a terrible backpass by
:36:41. > :36:41.Russell Martin. Enter Bassong, they thought they had a point and
:36:42. > :36:51.probably deserved it but Lallana had thought they had a point and
:36:52. > :36:52.other ideas. To the King Power Stadium, Leicester City against
:36:53. > :36:58.Stoke. Stadium, Leicester City against
:36:59. > :37:02.wins surely in their season, three points clear of Arsenal,
:37:03. > :37:07.wins surely in their season, three of fifth placed Manchester United
:37:08. > :37:13.and Jamie Vardy scores again, his first in eight and number 16 of the
:37:14. > :37:21.season. Pace and balance to take it round Jack Butland. Ring quarter got
:37:22. > :37:26.them under way -- Danny Drinkwater. It was their first goal from outside
:37:27. > :37:32.the box this season. Ulloa rounded it off after a moment of magic from
:37:33. > :37:37.Mahrez. Shawcross went off injured with a back problem for Stoke. The
:37:38. > :37:42.King Power Stadium is bouncing, they are top and they can't believe it. I
:37:43. > :37:47.doubt Old Trafford was bouncing this afternoon. Victory for visitors
:37:48. > :37:53.Southampton. Opportunity was there for Southampton, you felt they did
:37:54. > :37:57.not have enough in the tank but on comes Charlie Austin with ten
:37:58. > :38:03.minutes left on his debut, only signed last week for a bargain ?4
:38:04. > :38:09.million. Januzaj conceded the free kick, it came over from Ward-Prowse
:38:10. > :38:14.and Austin, give him room in the area and he forced the header home
:38:15. > :38:19.and what an inspired signing he could be. The misery continues for
:38:20. > :38:27.United, early exits and many empty seats around the stadium and there
:38:28. > :38:32.was much booing at the end. 12 goals in 11 home league games, not good
:38:33. > :38:43.enough for a club of United's stature. It sounds like the natives
:38:44. > :38:50.are restless. They are not happy. Not at all, wherever they have come
:38:51. > :38:55.from, the only thing I would say, you look at this Manchester United
:38:56. > :39:02.season and the team and it is almost unthinkable. A number of clubs, they
:39:03. > :39:06.are one, Spurs are another, whose fans have been reared on believing
:39:07. > :39:11.they play great open football and dominate games. That goes back to
:39:12. > :39:17.the 1950s. To see this kind of threadbare, dreary, dull team they
:39:18. > :39:23.have now is humiliating for them as a club. You could not call the game
:39:24. > :39:32.at Carrow Road dreary, a much needed win for Liverpool. I caught the tail
:39:33. > :39:36.end of it and it was fascinating. Alex Neil must have been so
:39:37. > :39:40.disappointed, celebrating one minute and two minutes later Liverpool get
:39:41. > :39:46.the winner. The celebration showed you how much it meant to Liverpool,
:39:47. > :39:52.Jurgen Klopp got his glasses broken in the celebration! And celebrations
:39:53. > :40:00.at Tannadice, they matched Liverpool in terms of goals. A stunning as for
:40:01. > :40:08.Dundee United. I still feel we are getting ahead of ourselves. 11
:40:09. > :40:15.points is still a big golf. A game in hand though! They still have an
:40:16. > :40:22.awful lot to do. In the end it might be too much. I know that pains mark
:40:23. > :40:27.but since he wants Hibs to win the League Cup semifinal, tough luck!
:40:28. > :40:34.There are a lot of teams that still have a lot to do to avoid the
:40:35. > :40:39.play-offs. You go from Partick Thistle in eighth down to
:40:40. > :40:45.Kilmarnock. At the start of the day there were six points between 11th
:40:46. > :40:50.place and sixth place. Now it is five. People were talking about a
:40:51. > :40:54.title race between Celtic and Aberdeen. It is the same difference
:40:55. > :40:59.at the bottom, it makes it interesting for us watching. And
:41:00. > :41:05.maybe it is not just the three points, it is the quality and the
:41:06. > :41:14.effervescence of the performance and I think back to Lineham -- the
:41:15. > :41:20.manager will want the Sunday papers. It seems Southampton adopted the
:41:21. > :41:24.formation that they have just dumped, surely they will stick with
:41:25. > :41:30.it. I don't know if it came from the meeting or if Mixu has been thinking
:41:31. > :41:38.about it but their previous formation was not working. He has
:41:39. > :41:45.changed to 4-4-2 and scored five. Do you think it was player power? I'm
:41:46. > :41:49.not sure. Maybe a bit of both. The players might say, it doesn't suit
:41:50. > :41:56.us, and he has thought, OK, we'll change it. Never mind player power,
:41:57. > :42:02.time for some presenter power. It is time for us to save poodle pip for
:42:03. > :42:09.another Saturday but there is more football to come this weekend and
:42:10. > :42:13.you can trust Jonathan Sutherland to bring you the highlights tomorrow
:42:14. > :42:19.evening. Do not miss that. There might be some Championship morsels
:42:20. > :42:35.in there as well. I will be back next Saturday. Good job you have got
:42:36. > :42:39.your trainers on, the show goes out at 5:20pm. Worth tuning in to see if
:42:40. > :42:47.the big man makes it and how out of breath he is! That is it, time to
:42:48. > :42:51.stop bothering you, thank you to my guests. Take care, we will see you
:42:52. > :42:54.soon.
