00:00Well, hello and welcome to what amounts to football heaven.
00:06It doesn't get a whole lot better than this.
00:09The conditions are utopian.
00:12The sky is blue and the players are with us for a football match so widely and keenly anticipated.
00:20Truly, this is pristine.
00:22And the level of expectation and excitement is reflected in the smiling faces of the crowd.
00:28They know it means so much and they also experience between them a great sense of privilege at being able to attend this most special of games.
00:41Of course, the Tifosi of Lazio have always been known for their extraordinary passion, something which is so very evident here today.
00:52As you can see, we've already started here.
00:55So this, the first game beyond the halfway point of the season.
01:01Jim, you've played in games of this nature.
01:03Who can...
01:04Up for a header!
01:06Oh, that's a fine save!
01:09Well, you can't ask for much more than that.
01:11A difficult moment he simply had to deal with.
01:15Tries a header!
01:15It went his head, but couldn't steer it in.
01:24And it's played forward.
01:31Carlson!
01:34Carlson!
01:37Danger averted for now.
01:41Play for a throw.
01:43Castledine.
01:52Castledine conjuring up some magic on the right-hand side.
01:55Has a hit!
01:56This could fall anywhere!
01:58Oh, that is asking for trouble.
02:00And a shot!
02:02It's anyone's fault.
02:04Oh, that's a terrific save from the keeper.
02:07Well, that was high-class goalkeeping there to back up his high-class wage.
02:15Massive leap!
02:18No, he didn't quite meet it right.
02:20Forward it goes.
02:32Forward it goes.
02:36And it's Kaissado.
02:38He's gone away.
02:40It's Kaissado!
02:47That's one way of trying to make things happen.
02:49There's a few who could follow that example.
02:53Good challenge.
02:54He just stood firm.
02:56That's a foul.
02:57Simple decision for the referee.
02:58Well, the referee has made it pretty clear now that this is his last chance.
03:05He just needs to find...
03:06That is simply superb!
03:10He's got himself a pinch of a goal!
03:18Oh, that is a bit special.
03:20Oh, that is a bit special.
03:50Oh, that is a bit special.
03:52Oh, that is a bit special.
03:53So, a breakthrough already.
03:57Parolo.
03:58His header in his last game.
04:00Completed that first-half comeback.
04:02Tries to switch to play.
04:08Carlsen plotting from out on the right-hand side.
04:13Carsel down.
04:14Up to meet it!
04:15It's a goal!
04:20A great delivery and a finish to match.
04:25Well, as contact goes, that was tremendous.
04:27And it helped him to direct it exactly where he wanted into that net.
04:30I think when it comes to the aerial department,
04:32this fella is definitely no sledge.
04:34It is...
04:37That was really nice.
04:46That was a good one!
04:48and that has added a whole new complexion to the game
05:12oh i think the coach will really be annoyed with that the players were still thinking about their
05:17goal and just got caught napping
05:19he spotted the run and played him through face to face
05:25oh shooting chance no mistake they've done it it was coming they have their reward
05:34yeah looking back at that that's how you play on the counter
05:41quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish i thought it was a stunning stunning breakaway
05:47so
05:49so
06:24Milan take the lead.
06:34Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned.
06:38I'm not sure they can gather themselves.
06:43Lazio have opted to really stretch the game now.
06:46Yeah, that's pretty evident, but what's they're thinking?
06:49It looks as if the opposition are happy to defend the width of the 18-yard box.
06:54He ran himself into trouble there, free kick given away.
06:57Well, you might think he got off lightly, it is just a verbal warning.
07:01Savage has got himself a free kick, and no surprise, that's a booking.
07:19Yeah, that's a good point.
07:28Lazio have now gone five games without defeat here.
07:33Just brushed off the ball there.
07:35Kallikuri
07:43Look forward
07:46What does he try from here?
08:02Gets up to Henitz
08:03Oh, not the best of headers
08:07Parolo
08:16Lazio
08:21His last result goes so much to the astuteness of their manager
08:25He's a manager who understands how important the bench can be
08:29And the timing of substitutions
08:31If needed, he's quick to make changes
08:33And I just think he has more than a clam D
08:36Parolo
08:40So midway through the first half
08:43And it is a tight old tie
08:45Battles to win it back
08:48Tries to get it forward quickly
08:52Chavez
08:54Castledine finds himself back in the starting side for the first time in a while
08:59Chavez tries to head towards goal
09:03Radu did well to emerge with the ball
09:07That's a contest to keep an eye on
09:09Great strength, too strong for his opponent
09:13He's coming on the right now
09:15What's on?
09:16Pings it in
09:18Pings it in
09:19Oh, they've seen lots of the ball
09:30Time to go for it a bit
09:31A bit of creativity and adventure
09:33Beradeschi looks to get on the end of this
09:36He's left his man
09:38Beradeschi
09:39He's looking unstoppable here
09:4350 challenge, but fair enough
09:46He is not one readily to admit defeat
09:50Don't be surprised if he tries that again
09:52Luis Felipe gets it back
09:56Carlson
10:00John Miranda gets it away
10:05Carlson tore at them
10:08And just came up short
10:10Oh, look
10:11His determination needed to be greater than the obstacle he was faced with
10:14And it wasn't
10:16Goes for goal
10:19In it goes
10:21And this is getting better and better
10:30Well, you know, thinking about that
10:33I think they've perfected that on the training ground
10:35Because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front
10:38They really commit forward in numbers, too
10:40That was all very well drilled
10:42He's made it three
10:45Quite a day at the office for him
10:47This is one of the best performances I've seen in a while
10:50He's practically taken on this team single-handedly
10:52And they don't know how to stop him
11:00Milan, go two up
11:08And into a position of real strength
11:10Listen, it's up to them now
11:12How they think about it from here
11:14Because for me, it's crying out
11:16For them to force the issue
11:17Across the field it goes
11:21Berladeschi pushes to get on the end of it
11:23For a moment, you felt that was going somewhere
11:30But they'll have to go again
11:31Oh, good interception
11:37Jarvis
11:39It's a good one down the right
11:49Where could this lead?
11:53Just deflected over the goal line
11:56For a corner
11:57Savage with the short one
12:04Caicedo
12:05Hoists it forward
12:08It's a loose ball
12:13Jarvis
12:17Jarvis
12:19He's going to be pulled back for that one
12:28Outside, a bit too casual in possession
12:45Just brushed off the ball there
12:47It's the whistle for half-time
12:55Well, Peter, I think the score is a fair reflection of what we've witnessed so far
13:00And that being good movement in both midfield and indeed up front
13:05If those players, I think, can carry on where they left off after the break
13:10They should impose themselves even more
13:12And probably only one result coming here
13:15That has been a goal-blessed half
13:19It is 3-1
13:20And we're already into the second period
13:23Great strength, too strong for his opponent
13:28Carlson
13:30He's on Carlson
13:32Good run
13:35Lovely take
13:36But that is where it stops
13:37I thought he did so well to exploit the space that was afforded to
13:41And deserve more
13:42Milan produced one of their best performances of the season last time
13:49An absolute demolition job
13:51Can't get the better of his opposite number
13:56Going to throw in
13:59Jarvis
14:03He gets past his man
14:05Chance
14:06Has a hit
14:08Yeah, that does look a foul
14:12After he's given a free kick
14:14He's been talking to, I think
14:16Yes, it is
14:17Luis Felipe
14:30Gets into the right position to intercept
14:33Savic
14:36Jean-Miranda
14:38This is promising
14:44The rollo
14:47Plays it over to the other flank
14:53Forward it goes
14:58Carlson
15:00Some good work on the right flank
15:02Now, what's next?
15:04He's gone away
15:05It's Inla
15:07Yes!
15:08And they are
15:12Troosing away
15:13And that really is
15:18So, so
15:19Impressive
15:20And that really is
15:29You
15:31Where estiver
15:32And that really is
15:33And that really is
15:34How
15:35You
15:37Why is it
15:40Oh
15:40Let's
15:43See
15:44it's starting to look like a done deal now
15:52looking across field, changing the point of attack
15:59not a good throw at all really, he's given away possession cheaply
16:12good ball
16:13Jarvis
16:14and the finish
16:16and with the goal of his mercy, a dreadful miss
16:21still a cracking effort, really looked like a man on a mission the way he went through on goal
16:27the roll-o
16:32Jarvis
16:37that has sent him sprawling
16:52cleared without complication
16:56Carlson
16:58Jarvis
17:00oh
17:01just lacked a decent finish
17:03oh look I don't want to sound too dismissive but from here that looks the harder thing to do
17:09castledein, there he goes motoring forward
17:22he's had a go
17:28and in it goes
17:31yet another goal
17:35another goal, in an awesome performance, they are in complete charge
17:40with time and space of plenty, he was never going to miss
17:45it's almost criminal to see a defense fail to identify someone who thrives when it comes to shooting stats
17:51they knew and yet they didn't heed and they paid the price and deserved it
17:55four in the game
17:57four in the game
17:59he is the man
18:00it's become a case of men against boys
18:09no doubt as to who has the momentum here now
18:12the only doubt
18:13is how many is coming
18:14across the field it goes
18:17foot in
18:19he's certainly caught him there
18:21it's a free kick
18:21big chance
18:37it's a decent ball
18:43gets away from his opponents
18:45it's Jarvis
18:47well he caught that pure
18:51but no end product
18:52if he sacrifices some power
18:55he may control the elevation
18:56Benadeschi
19:11battles to win it back
19:14great run on the overlap here
19:21delivers a cross
19:23cross deflected behind
19:26for a corner
19:27so here comes the substitution
19:30yeah their position
19:32is a dominant one now
19:34up he gets
19:35he has done it
19:37this is as ruthless as it gets
19:43listen
19:45when you're on an invitation
19:46to improve your goal difference
19:48why he's off
19:49Milan tear their opponents apart
20:07once again
20:07they are absolutely ruthless
20:09well it's been an absolutely fabulous spell for them
20:13and they're starting to look unstoppable
20:15there could be more on the way
20:17gets it back
20:21and it's played forward
20:23Jarvis
20:25he'll have a go
20:27and he's missed it
20:29well Peter
20:30I would say it was worth a try
20:32the rollout
20:53Jarvis
20:58Jarvis showed plenty of zest in getting to the ball
21:04But couldn't quite sort it out
21:06Savage
21:15Savage plays it forward
21:17Lovely bit of skill there
21:19Good challenge, he just stood firm
21:22And he's on his way
21:25Looking to pitch
21:26Jarvis
21:27He's kicked it out, that's a great save
21:31Milan, no, they can rely on the counter
21:34And they've just expressed a warning
21:36And that's the end of that
21:39It all started well enough
21:40Colsan
21:44Look, it was achievable, Peter
21:49But it needed his best
21:57And it's been taken straight back
22:02Yeah, that's top defending and preventing him turning
22:05Which can open up many possibilities
22:08And back to base
22:15Away from immediate danger
22:19Jarvis
22:22Jarvis
22:24On his flag offside
22:26We have got changes here
22:34From both sides in fact
22:36That's a foul
22:51Free kick's been given
22:52And it's Correa
23:05And it's Correa
23:05The ball's come loose
23:12And the chase is on
23:13Carlson
23:15This defence just doesn't trust itself
23:26To play a higher line
23:27Frightened the people getting in behind
23:29Yeah, absolutely
23:30It just opens up the opportunity
23:31Of not only strikers getting behind
23:33But the runners for midfield
23:35It's in love
23:36Savage
23:42Bernadeschi
23:45Carlson
23:50That intervention was very necessary
23:56Ramsey
23:59Luiz Felipe
24:02Okay
24:05Ramsey
24:09Jarvis who's full who's gonna get there looking to for Carlson
24:16Tonight at the last
24:32So can they do it again?
24:44Played it shorts then a deskie has to get it forward quickly
24:54Ramsey time added on four minutes
25:02Radu drives it forward great strength too strong for his opponent Carlson
25:14That's one over and he's there to cut it out
25:20And that's that what's a match what a comeback that is how to respond to adversity
25:26Truly deserving winner
