00:00Well, whatever time of day or night it is with you, welcome along to a game which is threatened, I have to tell you, by a rather forbidding weather forecast.
00:13The expectation is for quite heavy rain as the game grows older this evening. It hasn't arrived just yet, but it will do shortly.
00:22Glad to report, though, that that hasn't happened. Oh, he's going to be pulled back for that one.
00:30Defending of the desperate variety.
00:43Finds himself eased off the ball.
00:45That's one way of trying to make things happen. There's a few who could follow that example.
01:00Tries to get it forward quickly. He's brushed off the ball there.
01:10That's just very well played. He can't hurt you with his back to goal and he didn't go for the back heel.
01:15Gets away from his opponents. Can he deliver? And the header!
01:24He couldn't get the direction he needed.
01:27I have to commend the wing plate, but I have to condemn the defending. They've got to stop the cross.
01:34100% record away from home in this league, Jim. That really is quite something.
01:39I can't tell you how tough it is to do what they're doing this season.
01:44On your travels, there's so much hostility and adversity.
01:48So, this is actually quite exceptional.
01:50Qualiarella...
01:51Oh, real danger here!
01:54Real chance!
01:56They've scored!
01:59First blood drawn.
02:00Oh, high-quality goal.
02:07Lovely first touch.
02:09Sumptuous second.
02:10Second.
02:30Milan have an early lead. Good start.
02:47Qualiarella.
02:49It's Qualiarella!
02:52Oh, that is rather wayward.
02:54It was more possible than probable and the outcome backed it up, Peter.
02:58Kiesa.
03:09Jarvis.
03:15It's a very good battle there.
03:18Terrific to watch.
03:21As Serbi sticks in a foot to win it back.
03:27Kiesa.
03:28And he's on his way.
03:31Kiesa!
03:34Oh, just lacked a decent finish.
03:36Well, I can understand why his thinking was that way inclined.
03:45Kiesa.
03:47Great strength.
03:48Too strong for his opponent.
03:49And here's Qualiarella.
03:59Jarvis.
04:00Hits one!
04:02Back of the net!
04:03And already they're looking to run away with it.
04:07Well, you know, thinking about that, I think they've perfected that on the training ground
04:13because it took them seconds to get the ball from back to front.
04:16And they really commit forward in numbers too.
04:18It was all very well drilled.
04:19Milan take a two-goal lead and things should be comfortable from here on in.
04:47No doubt as to who has the momentum here now.
04:50The only doubt is how many is coming.
04:52Burrini does well there.
04:55Alert.
05:05Who's ball?
05:06Who's going to get there?
05:08Hoists it forward.
05:10Fiorentina coming into this game on the back of a really good result.
05:13And their boss must take an awful lot of credit for that.
05:17Yeah, he had a problem.
05:19But it's Jarvis!
05:21Yes!
05:23All too easy!
05:25They are in danger of disappearing out of sight!
05:30That's wonderfully done.
05:32Crisp pitch.
05:33True finish.
05:34Oh, you've got to love that.
05:36Concentration, conviction, contact, and sheer class.
05:40He's made it too, and no doubt he's hungry for more.
05:58Milan take a three-goal lead, and they are romping out of sight.
06:02Well, unsurprisingly, Peter, the opposition look completely stunned.
06:06I'm not sure they can gather themselves.
06:08And it's played forward, as Serbi gets chance!
06:15Knacking in accuracy.
06:17Fiorentina are really feeling the strain now.
06:20Impatience has taken charge.
06:27And it's Quagliarella.
06:29Battles to win it back.
06:31It's a loose ball.
06:35Good run.
06:36Ultimately thwarted by an astute piece of defending.
06:39The crowd appreciates good football all round there.
06:45He's made sure that that won't get through.
06:47Jarvis!
06:50That tested the keeper.
06:52Well, Peter, I would say it was worth a try.
06:54Last-ditch defending, but that'll do.
07:09Jarvis.
07:19Jarvis.
07:21Oh, good take.
07:22Has a hit!
07:23Goal!
07:25And they're at it again!
07:27In double quick time!
07:29Yeah, looking back at that, that's how you play on the counter.
07:35Quick and decisive and ruthless with the finish.
07:38I thought it was a stunning, stunning breakaway.
07:40Things looking so easy, almost too easy here.
08:07Well, it's been an absolutely fabulous spell for them,
08:11and they're starting to look unstoppable.
08:13There could be more on the way.
08:16He's looking long this time.
08:19Shreys in out of harm's way.
08:26Shreys ahead!
08:27Oh!
08:28Oh!
08:28Oh!
08:28Oh!
08:29Oh!
08:29Oh!
08:29Oh!
08:30Oh!
08:30Oh!
08:31Oh!
08:31Oh!
08:32Oh!
08:32Oh!
08:33Oh!
08:33Oh!
08:34Oh!
08:34Oh!
08:35Oh!
08:35Oh!
08:36Oh!
08:36Oh!
08:37Oh!
08:37Oh!
08:37Oh!
08:37That had to be more accurate.
08:44That had to be more accurate.
08:53Chavis.
08:59Oh, that is asking for trouble.
09:07Well, it's Kalliarela.
09:08It's Kalliarela.
09:09Really just wasn't quick enough then.
09:15Well, his thinking certainly wasn't.
09:16Didn't make use of what I felt were some very good options.
09:24Quick enough then, well his thinking certainly wasn't, didn't make use of what I felt were some very good options.
09:32Good challenge, he just stood firm.
09:35As Serbi goes looking, now a chance to break.
09:42He's come through and he's had a quick look inside.
09:49A chance to play it in.
09:51Oh, that's meat.
09:54Aimed in towards the centre.
10:03He's making good use of his strength there, just refuses to be out-muscled.
10:11Inla.
10:14Jarvis.
10:18It's Jarvis!
10:20And the ball's come out.
10:22And they've been caught out here.
10:23Forward it goes.
10:35And that's the end of the...
10:37Big chance!
10:39No, it's right.
10:40Well, Peter, he clearly felt he was being invited to shoot, and it wasn't the worst decision he could have made.
10:46And that's been one straight back.
10:56And that's been one straight back.
10:58Ribรฉry.
11:09Ribery.
11:09Ribery plays it forward.
11:12the three's had a look and he's blown his whistle for half time well that flew by it was breathless
11:22stuff it's been one-way traffic here after the first 45 minutes a relentless barrage that looks
11:29set to continue yeah i think the first half performance that showed attack being the best
11:35form of defense if they're in the face of the opposition that much then there's little they
11:39can do in return and i'm i'm not sure how long they can keep the intensity in the tempo up but
11:45it certainly paid off so far milan have run riot in the first half and barring a miraculous comeback
11:53they have done the job already we're already into the second period no changes at half time that
12:01we're aware of
12:02that's been drilled forward
12:07plays it out to the flank battles to win it back
12:12milan are the league's top scorers formidable in front of goal and he's on a charge
12:22it's a fine run and he's happy to keep going
12:25oh real danger here oh shooting chance
12:33no that's just why
12:35kiesa foot in
12:56he's found his man he gets past his man
13:02that is absolutely glorious
13:07about as smooth as it gets
13:10this is as ruthless as it gets
13:15listen when you're on an invitation to improve your goal difference
13:23ways off
13:24and just like that he helps himself to another hat trip
13:30it's awesome
13:31so
13:32it's a good time
13:33we don't know that you might know if you have any guys
13:34to have a control of the team
13:35to have to break out
13:36you're joking
13:37how long are you
13:38what's going at
13:39what's going at
13:40what's going at
13:41what's going at
13:41that's what's going at
13:42what's going at
13:42is rar
13:55i've said
13:57that's what's going at
13:58Milan tear their opponents apart once again.
14:05They are utterly ruthless.
14:13Milan are in superb form defensively.
14:16Five consecutive clean sheets.
14:19Great run this. He's covered quite a distance.
14:22Massive leap!
14:24Oh, almost a six!
14:28And that has put Tate to that.
14:52He's all... Shoots!
14:56Terrific save.
14:57Look, it was achievable, Peter, but it needed his best.
15:03Hoists it forward.
15:06Just brushed off the ball there.
15:09And it's Quagliarella.
15:11Right through the middle.
15:13It's Jobis!
15:14He's put his foot right through that one.
15:18Well, he's clearly not the only one who can't believe he didn't put it away.
15:22I think he's going to take some ribbon for that.
15:23Everything they would have spoken about in that dressing room during the break has a greater chance of happening thanks to the early goal.
15:48It's the perfect club.
15:50Big chop, Jarvis!
15:58It's into a dangerous position.
16:00Looses his balance and loses the ball.
16:08Inla.
16:11They're actually not getting too tight, which is interesting.
16:13It's probably cautionary.
16:16Don't dive in.
16:17Try to pinch it or intercept so nobody can get in behind.
16:21Up to meet it!
16:23All right.
16:24Needed better placement.
16:25Key is up.
16:35He's not played the ball.
16:36That's a foul.
16:37He's not played the ball.
16:38He's not played the ball.
16:38He's not played the ball.
16:40That's a foul.
16:55No, that's too long.
17:07Jarvis.
17:11Jarvis is now the subject of some adhesive marking.
17:15Well, better late than never, Peter, although it may not apply in this case after a hat-trick.
17:20Jarvis, already with a hat-trick, tried to play it through.
17:29Look, he's offering an apology to his teammate who's clearly miffed at not being picked out
17:34despite making what looked like the right run.
17:39He's good for it!
17:42Oh, denied at the last.
17:44Milan were again presented with an opportunity to break and look very, very threatening.
17:50Jarvis.
17:58And it's played forward.
18:01And it's fair too.
18:05And here's Barini.
18:08And he has been fouled there.
18:14Just a talking to, I think.
18:16Yes, it is.
18:20Boy goes looking.
18:35Jarvis plays it out to the wing.
18:38That's a promising ball.
18:40Cuts it out.
18:43He's left it.
18:44It's Jarvis!
18:46And he's missed it.
18:48Well, maybe he just got a card excitable.
18:50Well, he knows those moments need the coolest of heads.
18:53Can't get the better of his opposite number.
19:12Whistle's gone.
19:12That's a foul.
19:14Ribery.
19:15Great strength.
19:16Too strong for his opponent.
19:17Time to deliver.
19:30It's been intercepted.
19:32And that will come to nothing.
19:34Forward it goes.
19:35Kiesa.
19:41Kiesa.
19:51Played down the flank.
19:54There are two.
19:55Gets into the right position to intercept.
19:57Drives it towards the front.
19:59Gets his foot in there.
20:04Kiesa is fouled.
20:05And it's Betu.
20:26In with the challenge.
20:28And that's a foul.
20:29Simple decision for the referee.
20:30Surely a shot.
20:54Hoist it forward.
20:55Good idea.
20:59Just poorly executed.
21:07And it's played forward.
21:13Kiesa.
21:15Had a shot.
21:18And he steered it beyond the post.
21:25And he's away.
21:32Oh, it's opened up nicely for him.
21:34Arca shoots.
21:37He scores.
21:40And still they continue with the onslaught.
21:47Well, I think we've gone past humiliation now.
21:50This could be doing some real psychological damage.
21:52We have to do some real problems.
21:53We have to do some real problems.
21:54We have to do some real problems.
21:55We have to do some real problems.
21:56We have to do some real problems.
21:57We have to do some real problems.
21:58We have to do some real problems.
21:59We have to do some real problems.
22:00We have to do some real problems.
22:01We have to do some real problems.
22:02We have to do some real problems.
22:03We have to do some real problems.
22:04We have to do some real problems.
22:05We have to do some real problems.
22:06We have to do some real problems.
22:07We have to do some real problems.
22:08We have to do some real problems.
22:09We have to do some real problems.
22:10We have to do some real problems.
22:11We have to do some real problems.
22:12We have to do some real problems.
22:13We have to do some real problems.
22:14Arcas
22:40Goes for it
22:42Oh, that was plenty on that
22:56So here comes the substitution
22:58Well, you have to feel a little for the player been taken off here
23:01I think he's been made the scapegoat after that
23:03But I guess something had to be done
23:05I suppose it did need a little change
23:07Whistle's gone, that's a foul
23:12Ball's loose, who's getting there?
23:16Moy gets it back
23:21It's a good run down the right
23:22Look at this lead
23:24Arcas provides an outlet
23:26Going through
23:28And the flag has stayed down
23:30Looking for a decent ball in
23:32Cleared away
23:37Time added on
23:38Four minutes
23:41Well, it seems obvious that the plan is to try and get their passing game going again
23:46But not with that lack of quality
23:48Got a shot away
24:02And that is it
24:03The referee has seen enough
24:05Milan
