00:00:00Good evening, it seems we're right in the thick of the banishing season. 14 Premier League teams

00:00:26in action for you tonight on Match of the Day with me at the round table, trying not to murder the

00:00:31analysis, our most loyal faithful, Alan Shearer and Micah Richards. No wins in seven for Ange

00:00:38Postacoglu since taking over at Nottingham Forest, who've only won once against the visitors Chelsea

00:00:43in their last eight Premier League meetings. Commentary comes from Simon Brotherton.

00:00:48Turbulent times by the Trent, Forest without a win since opening day and with a new manager

00:00:53feeling the heat just under six weeks after taking over. Taiwo Awonyi makes his first appearance

00:01:00since seriously injuring himself, colliding with a goalpost here against Leicester in May.

00:01:05He's in up front with Chris Wood and Igor Jesus on the bench. In all, Ange Postacoglu makes five

00:01:12changes as he looks for a winning formula. Rhys James makes his 200th appearance for Chelsea.

00:01:17Trevor Chalabar is back from suspension. Andre Santos and Romeo Lavia also start. Enzo Fernandes

00:01:24is injured. Moises Caicedo on the bench. And prior to kick-off, the players take an E, reiterating

00:01:32the message there should be no room for racism or prejudice of any sort in football or anywhere

00:01:39else. Chelsea looking to win here at the City ground for the third season in a row. This

00:01:47is where they secured Champions League qualification at the back end of last season but it's been

00:01:52given away by Malo Gusto and Awonyi. As a first sighting of goal on his return to action for

00:01:59the first time since the end of last season. Chelsea causing problems for themselves here.

00:02:06Ange Postacoglu, the eighth permanent manager under Evangelos Maranakis.

00:02:14It's a pull from Chalabar. Awonyi. Now Gibbs-White. Bursting clear of Lavia. Nicely done.

00:02:23Elliot Anderson. Forrest threatening for a moment here. And it all came from that poor pass

00:02:29as Chelsea conceded possession. The little check back and the stumble.

00:02:35Well Enzo Mareska forced to take a seat in the stand today following his red card against

00:02:42over full two yellows. The second of which you may remember his exuberant celebration on

00:02:46the touchline. Got away from Romeo-Lavia. Here's Borg and Gibbs-White. And it's wide. And it's

00:02:57at least the third time if not more that Chelsea have given the ball away inside their own half

00:03:02of the field. And Gibbs-White unable to hit the target. An unexpected opportunity. Spurned.

00:03:15The bounce beats Ajunpong. Awonyi's there. It's Douglas-Louise. Gibbs-White. Forreston

00:03:23knocking on the door. Gibbs-White was really stretching to try and get there. And there's

00:03:34the thoughtful face of the Nottingham Forest owner Evangelos Maranakis. Penny for his thoughts.

00:03:40Here's Jean-Pedro. Lovely little bit of skill in towards Andre Santos who is sending it

00:03:52just wide. Chelsea suddenly creating something out of seemingly nothing. And Forrest survive.

00:04:05Two Brazilian strikers going at it. And Jean-Pedro going to ground. And Chelsea with a free kick.

00:04:17Early second-half pressure here from Chelsea. Grace James whips it in.

00:04:24Lever away by Gibbs-White collected by Malagusto.

00:04:30Neto is going to have a run at Nico Williams here. And it was worth it. Ajunpong. One-nil Chelsea.

00:04:37Unmarked. Clear header. Great chance. Fine goal.

00:04:43Josh Ajunpong scores his first goal for the club. What a moment for the 19-year-old.

00:04:51Well Chelsea made three changes at the break. They've been brighter already in the opening exchanges

00:04:56of the second period. And here Ajunpong. Right place. Right time. The cross was delightful

00:05:04from Pedro Neto. Right on his head. It's Nottingham Forest. Nil. Chelsea one.

00:05:11And here comes Chelsea again with Gusto into João Pedro. Up to Marc Guil. They get a free kick

00:05:21as well for that one on the edge of the box. Dangerous times here for Forrest. And it's a foul

00:05:28from Morato who has already gone in the referee's book in the first half.

00:05:35Sells! Sells! Sells! Sells! Sells! Sells! Sells on the balls of his feet. Oh! And it's two!

00:05:45And in the blink of an eye. Chelsea open up. Real daylight. Pedro Neto.

00:05:52And it's all unravelled for Nottingham Forest in the opening six minutes of the second half.

00:05:58Pedro Neto scores in front of the travelling fans. Forrest a shell-shot.

00:06:04There. Through the hole in the wall. Big gap. And it's a big goal. First cries of sacked in the morning

00:06:14heading towards the touchline. Coming from the Chelsea fans. Here's Milenkovic. He was caught by Malagusto.

00:06:23by Malagusto. He'll get a card. It's actually a boot there from Malagusto.

00:06:37Sangare losing out to João Pedro. Chelsea threatening again. João Pedro close.

00:06:46As Chelsea seek to put this game way beyond reach.

00:06:51Forrest just looking for a spark to bring them back in the game.

00:06:54Anderson across. Williams going for it.

00:06:57And really good defensive work in support of his colleagues there from Jamie Gittins.

00:07:11Zinchenko across. Oh! What a chance that was for Williams.

00:07:16Big moment there. Forrest.

00:07:19And he really needed that to go in.

00:07:23Milenkovic.

00:07:25Here's Williams.

00:07:27They're way past Kukureya. Corner.

00:07:30By the head of Milenkovic. Saved by Sanchez.

00:07:42Forrest threatening here.

00:07:46And Sanchez able to flick it over with his fingertips.

00:07:51Well, Evangelos Maranakis hasn't been in his seat for over five minutes now.

00:07:59Has he seen enough?

00:08:01One back by Murillo Sangare.

00:08:08He's Anderson.

00:08:09Now Hudson-Odoi.

00:08:10Hudson-Odoi.

00:08:11Hudson-Odoi.

00:08:12Igo Jesus!

00:08:13How did that not go in?

00:08:14An extraordinary moment.

00:08:15The delivery from Callum Hudson-Odoi.

00:08:18And the effort from Igo Jesus.

00:08:20Igo Jesus.

00:08:21How did that not go in?

00:08:22How did that not go in?

00:08:24Or an extraordinary moment.

00:08:26Meu Jesus.

00:08:27And Shaw!

00:08:28Go!

00:08:29And the effort from Igo Jesus.

00:08:30Hitting the crossbar and the post.

00:08:39Rhys James, Guyu, Anderson challenged by Kukurea, here's Esteval, corner, tell you what, it wasn't that far away from 3-0,

00:08:58Esteval to take it, right down to the goalkeepers, no, it's 3-0 Rhys James,

00:09:05marks his 200th appearance for Chelsea, with a goal that seals the deal at the city ground,

00:09:143 goals for Chelsea, 3 points, Ange Postacoglu and Nottingham Forest empty-handed again,

00:09:22and thousands of people immediately make for the exits.

00:09:26It was a terrific looking corner from Esteval, punched away by Sells, it was a lovely finish from Rhys James,

00:09:43Jean-Pedro forward looking for Esteval, and it's collected by Sells.

00:09:47And a foul there on Nico Williams by Marlo Gusto, and he's already been booked earlier in the match,

00:09:58so that means that Chelsea will finish the game with 10, he knew it straight away, Marlo Gusto sent off for Chelsea.

00:10:05That should do it.

00:10:14The mood darkens, the boos grow louder in Nottingham, it's an excellent away win for Chelsea,

00:10:21but for Ange Postacoglu, things don't look great, less than six weeks after taking the job.

00:10:29And 21 minutes later, a 39-day tenure was ended with a 39-word statement from the club.

00:10:38Big Ange was gone.

00:10:4139 days is not very long, you must have hardly got to know Ange Postacoglu, really.

00:10:47No, not really, but that's the nature of football.

00:10:50Results haven't been good enough, us as players have to take massive responsibility,

00:10:55and collectively as a group, we need to do more.

00:11:00We have to look at ourselves in the mirror, we have to get on the training pitch,

00:11:04we have to look for them.

00:11:05Then 1%, it's fine margins, and we need to give absolutely everything we owe it to the fans

00:11:09to put in a really good performance on Thursday.

00:11:11It's a tough game, isn't it, at the top level.

00:11:14An excellent result for you, but today the Forest manager has lost his job.

00:11:18Yeah, they just said me.

00:11:23Unfortunately, it's our job.

00:11:24It's business, where you need to win games, in case you don't win games.

00:11:28The consequence is, for all of us, exactly the same.

00:11:33So, Ange Postacoglu, 39 days, puts him second officially on the shortest managerial reigns

00:11:38in Premier League history, but Sam Allardyce, if you remember,

00:11:40was brought in to manage Leeds to the end of the season.

00:11:43So if you're looking at a permanent appointment,

00:11:45you could argue that it is the shortest of all time.

00:11:47Michael, was it inevitable today?

00:11:49Yeah, I think it was, in terms of the owner and his standards for the club.

00:11:54Remember last season, he thought he was going to get Champions League,

00:11:56didn't work out, they got into Europe, wasn't good enough.

00:12:00Obviously, Nuno gets sacked after that.

00:12:03But in terms of football, five games, 39 days in the Premier League,

00:12:09and he's getting sacked.

00:12:11It's just ridiculous to me.

00:12:13I don't know where we're going as football.

00:12:15I understand the results have not been great.

00:12:18But in terms of a manager trying to get his philosophy over,

00:12:22we knew with Nuno there was a defensive-style team.

00:12:25Now we know Ange likes to put on the front foot.

00:12:27And we always talk about giving managers time to put their input on what the team wants to do.

00:12:33And for him to get five games in the Premier League, for me, I just...

00:12:37With an international break in the middle of all of that, in terms of getting to know your players,

00:12:40do you have some sympathy for him?

00:12:41Yeah, absolutely.

00:12:42You do have sympathy for him, yeah.

00:12:43I mean, the owner has to accept his share of the blame.

00:12:46He went out and chose this particular manager,

00:12:49knowing that he had a completely different system to what the previous manager had got.

00:12:54But five Premier League games, you absolutely have sympathy for him.

00:12:58But the names...

00:13:00Mareska said it, didn't he?

00:13:01You know the rules in football.

00:13:02If you don't get results immediately, unfortunately, you're going to lose your job.

00:13:06And the names in the frame, Sean Dyche, Mancini, Rafa Benitez...

00:13:12You know, some people might say,

00:13:14well, why would you want to go there and work under that regime?

00:13:16It's so uncertain.

00:13:17The queue will be a mile long.

00:13:19It's a huge football club.

00:13:20There's only 20 jobs available in the Premier League.

00:13:23Everyone wants to come in the Premier League.

00:13:25And I'm pretty sure the owner already would have spoken to at least five or six of those big names.

00:13:31OK, well, let's talk about what happened in the match.

00:13:33Because in the first half, actually, Forrest had quite a few good chances.

00:13:36And it took Mareska to make some changes for Chelsea to get to Forrest.

00:13:39Yeah, it didn't work for them at all.

00:13:41I mean, Forrest had some really, really good chances.

00:13:43Didn't take them.

00:13:43We're all sat thinking.

00:13:44We all know what's going to happen.

00:13:45And particularly in forward positions, it didn't work for Chelsea.

00:13:48Got Santos and Pedro there.

00:13:50Pedro was the nine.

00:13:52But on these occasions, he actually came short into those positions.

00:13:57And the only time it worked was the last minute of the first half.

00:14:01Didn't work here at all.

00:14:02They weren't linking up well at all.

00:14:05And the managers obviously look and think, I'm going to change it.

00:14:07This is the one occasion in the first half it did.

00:14:10Pedro goes short.

00:14:11Santos goes in behind.

00:14:13That was their best chance.

00:14:15Probably their only chance in the first half.

00:14:17And he thought, you know what?

00:14:18It's not working.

00:14:18I've got to change it.

00:14:19So not only did he bring Gittins and Caicedo on, so it had a bit of solidity in, particularly in the midfield.

00:14:25He brought Guiu on.

00:14:27And you can see the difference now there.

00:14:28Pedro's now playing predominantly in the 10-10 role.

00:14:32Guiu's in the centre-four and he's running in behind.

00:14:34And all of a sudden, it changes.

00:14:36They're now playing on the front foot.

00:14:38They're now getting chances in the final third.

00:14:40That turns into a free kick, which they then get the, it turns out, they get the goal from it.

00:14:46Similar thing again.

00:14:46Look, Guiu's coming short for that ball.

00:14:48But he's actually asking the question in behind.

00:14:50It's such a clever run.

00:14:52He doesn't get it the first time.

00:14:54But you can see, again, look at the way he ends up.

00:14:56Again, making it difficult for the Forrester fence.

00:15:00And they're having to think again all the same.

00:15:01Now, just watch this, how it works.

00:15:03You can see Pedro knows exactly where he is.

00:15:06OK, he chooses not to play him on that occasion.

00:15:08But he then gets the ball back.

00:15:10And again, that's a clever ball and a pass.

00:15:12They work it well.

00:15:13They get the free kick.

00:15:14And they score again from the free kick.

00:15:16It's well worked from James and from Neto.

00:15:19But Chelsea, I think, were without doubt much, much better for those changes at half-time.

00:15:24More on the front foot.

00:15:25And created certainly more chances.

00:15:27And as we've spoken about, we know what happened after that.

00:15:29Yeah.

00:15:30And they did have chances in the first half.

00:15:32And obviously, Maranakis had seen exactly everything he wanted to see there.

00:15:35I think Yates says it in his interview.

00:15:37I think it's a collective for Forrest.

00:15:39And they did have a lot of chances in that first half.

00:15:42And that was a difference in the end.

00:15:44It was quality.

00:15:45And the result now doesn't look great for Forrest.

00:15:47But if you actually watched the game, if they would have took a few of those chances,

00:15:51it could have been a different house.

00:15:52And so many new players brought in over the summer, obviously.

00:15:55And then Nuno leaves.

00:15:57And then, obviously, as you said, there's not very much time for Ange.

00:15:59And then a new manager's going to come in and have to work with those players

00:16:02and try and get the team to be cohesive.

00:16:05It feels, doesn't it, almost counterproductive.

00:16:08Especially when it's a different style.

00:16:09We know that it's a completely different style to what Nuno had.

00:16:13Now, I know the results at the end of last season didn't go as well as they wanted.

00:16:18But it's a completely different style.

00:16:20A lot of those players were brought in for that particular system

00:16:24and worked and loved that system.

00:16:26It was always going to take time to change.

00:16:28But we know you haven't got that.

00:16:30But still, five games is crazy.

00:16:32And it moves fast, doesn't it?

00:16:33Who knows what the next 24 hours is going to bring there.

00:16:35OK, well, both meetings between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth

00:16:38finished goalless last season.

00:16:40Fingers crossed, everyone.

00:16:41Your commentator is Robin Cowan.

00:16:45Recent meetings might not have lived long in the memory between these two,

00:16:49but they're both on course for unforgettable seasons.

00:16:52Palace's club record 19-match unbeaten run was ended by Everton

00:16:56before the international break.

00:16:57But Oliver Glasner goes with the same team that lost on Merseyside.

00:17:01Jean-Philippe Peteta scored on his full international debut for France over the break,

00:17:06proving the doubters, including, allegedly,

00:17:08a few of his former teammates wrong.

00:17:10Former San Juan Semenyo also had something to celebrate,

00:17:13helping Garner to qualify for the World Cup.

00:17:15He's been involved in nine goals in seven appearances this season for the Cherries.

00:17:19David Brooks and Evan Nielsen are out injured.

00:17:21It's three changes from the victory over Fulham.

00:17:24First Premier League starts for Eli Kruppi and Alex Jimenez.

00:17:27Justin Kluivert also comes in.

00:17:32Performers have won four their last six Premier League games,

00:17:35but it's just two wins in the last nine away from home.

00:17:39Only defeat this season, opening day at Anfield.

00:17:42Kluivert's corner towards the near post.

00:18:00Another chance here, swung up towards the middle,

00:18:03well defended by Gay.

00:18:05Sarr is down for Crystal Palace.

00:18:08Wicked one from Kluivert,

00:18:22and it's out to the back post.

00:18:24Eli Kruppi

00:18:29stung Selhurst Park.

00:18:38Well, Kruppi just had to help her over the line a couple of inches out,

00:18:42but he was totally untracked there

00:18:44on his first start in the Premier League.

00:18:49Just 19 years old.

00:18:50Already his second goal for Bormann.

00:18:56Here's Pino.

00:19:01Metzhetan!

00:19:07He's got to be hitting the target, really.

00:19:09Those opportunities.

00:19:12It's been a good response.

00:19:13Nothing to show for it so far.

00:19:15Semenyo bursting forward.

00:19:22Getting away from Richards.

00:19:25Gay's clearance isn't enough.

00:19:27And it's another for Bournemouth,

00:19:28and it's another for Eli Kruppi.

00:19:33A devastating break.

00:19:38The Semenyo centre wasn't really dealt with by Gay.

00:19:41Could he have turned it behind for a corner?

00:19:44Either way, he's presented it straight to Kruppi,

00:19:46who was in the right place,

00:19:47and showed real composure

00:19:49to slam it past Henderson.

00:19:53Take something special from Palace,

00:19:54or a big collapse from Bournemouth

00:19:57to change the outcome for points.

00:20:01No foul on Scott.

00:20:02Sartre, that will be one.

00:20:08Sinesi, mistimed.

00:20:11Yellow card for Marcos Sinesi.

00:20:15Was it a denial of a goal-scoring opportunity?

00:20:19They are

00:20:20recommending that Jared Gillett goes to the screen.

00:20:25Did catch him

00:20:31with the studs?

00:20:34A nervous wait

00:20:35for Marcos Sinesi.

00:20:40Let's see what Jared Gillett

00:20:41has to say.

00:20:49After a view,

00:20:51the original decision of

00:20:52yellow card to number five stands.

00:20:54The player is moving slightly wide,

00:20:57and there is a covering defender.

00:21:00Well, Jared Gillett

00:21:01is stuck by his decision.

00:21:02We don't see that very often,

00:21:04but happy that

00:21:06it's far enough from goal

00:21:08that that shouldn't warrant

00:21:10a red card.

00:21:18Laquat,

00:21:19Mateta,

00:21:21finds Sartre,

00:21:22Munoz,

00:21:24Mateta.

00:21:27A brilliant goal for Palace.

00:21:32It's been ruled out.

00:21:36There was an offside

00:21:37during this move somewhere.

00:21:41It's not a very long check.

00:21:42And Jean-Felic Mateta

00:21:48has put Palace back in the games.

00:21:53So, this changes the mood

00:21:58somewhat.

00:21:59Holmesdale road end

00:22:03are roaring.

00:22:04coming off,

00:22:23another tremendously worked goal

00:22:25from Palace.

00:22:28but he's taken two

00:24:41we are all over Glaston now

00:24:48chance for the winner

00:24:51he's snatched at that

00:24:54what entertainment

00:24:56these two have served up this afternoon

00:24:59I cannot be happy. I'm not pleased. I'm upset. I'm angry, as you want, because the call we were

00:25:06set in the 96th minute. I cannot accept it. I think the VAR has been influenced by the previous

00:25:12decision when he has called the referee. The referee has watched the play, doesn't attend

00:25:16his correction, and then probably the VAR has decided I'm not going to intervene anymore.

00:25:21I didn't think it was going to be quite that eventful, but it was, and yeah, I think in the

00:25:25end, maybe a draw is fair, questionable last penalty call, but that's football at the end

00:25:31of the day, isn't it?

00:25:31I'm so proud of the performance today, and not just the result, but how we played, how

00:25:37many chances we created, and we have also a big credit to Bournemouth. They were so ruthless

00:25:43today. Every chance was a goal, so they had eight finishes overall and three goals, but

00:25:48the mentality of the team, the way we played, the problems we caused, and it's incredible

00:25:54what these players are doing.

00:25:55I want to win every game, and I think I have the ball to win this game, even if I scored

00:26:02a hat-trick. It's up to me to score that goal, and I didn't score, and that's why I'm like

00:26:09that.

00:26:11What a game this was, and we'll get on to Iriola's comments there and the penalties in a minute,

00:26:16but Jean-Philippe Mateta had a fantastic day. You have to go back to 2016 for a player to

00:26:20score a hat-trick in a home game and not get a win. Andy Carroll.

00:26:23Well, first of all, I've got to say, two really excellent sides, and it was a brilliant

00:26:28game, but Mateta, he's just really, really difficult to play against. Defenders, you

00:26:34know, do not enjoy playing against this guy. He's awkward. He's his game as they come.

00:26:40He'll run in behind. I mean, he actually should have had a hat-trick in the first half. Could

00:26:44have had a hat-trick in the first half. That was the most difficult one. Movement is really,

00:26:49really good. That's a fantastic ball in, and he should score again. This is probably the

00:26:53best chance in the first half. Falls to him in a nice position again. Just can't get

00:26:58the connection that he wants. But then all of a sudden, I said about his movement, hold

00:27:03up players, excellent. Bringing people into the game, but his movement to get into the

00:27:08six-yard box after he's played the pass, that's the impressive thing. His movement again, the

00:27:13defender's with him, and then two seconds later, he's not because of, as I said, his movement

00:27:18again, and that's a clever finish. Then he gets his penalty, his hat-trick goal, and

00:27:23you're thinking, he can't, can he? And this was the easiest one of the lot, wasn't it? I

00:27:29mean, he's leaning back, and anyone that understands French can understand what he's about to say.

00:27:34There you go.

00:27:35But you know, you can tell him that. It's not very often you see someone scoring a hat-trick

00:27:40and be so disappointed at the end of the game, but look at those stats on the 11 shots. Shots

00:27:46inside the box, nine. As I said, he's hat-trick, so. But I love the way he plays, because he's

00:27:52a nightmare for defenders.

00:27:53So Bournemouth feel a little bit hard done by that they ended up not getting all three points,

00:27:57and Iriola's point was that the referee perhaps wasn't going to be called over to go and have

00:28:02a little look at the screen, because he'd been called over earlier and not changed his

00:28:06on-field decision.

00:28:07No, I don't. I think he's clutching there, to be honest. But in terms of the penalty,

00:28:14I think it's actually quite harsh. I think Diakete there on Gaye. The only problem, he's not

00:28:20looking at the ball, and the referee had warned him beforehand, so he was going to give the

00:28:25penalty in this moment. But I still think it's a little bit harsh, because they're both going

00:28:31back and forth with each other. I think you need to see the consistency also. I get why

00:28:36he's given that, but let's hope that another referee would do the same next weekend.

00:28:40What about 19-year-old Kruppi getting two on his first start?

00:28:43First start as well, two goals, yeah. Very, very good.

00:28:46And it's that recruitment that Bournemouth obviously have to be so good at, don't they?

00:28:50Well, we spoke about the defensive situation that they've done so well in recruiting the

00:28:54players. He's got a forward there on his first start. He's got a couple of goals.

00:28:579th and 12th, the finishes that he's had so far, Iriola, as Bournemouth manager. Where

00:29:02can they realistically push on to?

00:29:04It depends who they keep. I think Alan's exactly right. The recruitment's been excellent.

00:29:11I think when we talk about Brighton and what they have done, Iriola and the people down there

00:29:17have done a brilliant job. I think for him, when he first came to the club, I was thinking,

00:29:23what is he trying to do? And when he first came to the club, he was pushing really high

00:29:27and some of the results wasn't going their way. But the way he's managed to lose players,

00:29:31get players in and still buy into the system what they're doing and do it with effect,

00:29:35he's just a top coach. He really is.

00:29:38And the players that they lose, they go to Paris Saint-Germain, they go to Liverpool.

00:29:42They're selling for big money to big clubs, big moves as well. So as a player, it would be

00:29:47quite an attractive place to go.

00:29:48And I also think when you're looking at the players, what he does, I think, really well

00:29:53is gives his players the freedom to go and play. Just go and express yourselves and you

00:29:57can see they're enjoying the football.

00:29:58OK. Well, in form, Manchester City faced Everton with an excellent record in this fixture.

00:30:04The Toffees' last league win at City came 15 years ago during David Moyes' first spell

00:30:09in charge. Steve Bauer, watch this one.

00:30:13Manchester City back at the Etihad where they've won seven of their last eight Premier League

00:30:18games, but they must do without the injured Rodri today. So Nico Gonzalez starts. There

00:30:23are also recalls for Doku and Ake and Marmouche returns as a substitute. Everton are unable

00:30:30to play on loan Jack Grealish against his parent club, but they are able to welcome back Kiernan

00:30:35Dewsbury Hall after suspension. Beto has preferred to Barry up front, Alcaraz preferred to Dibbling

00:30:41and Keane is fit to start.

00:30:46Everton, to say they are due a win against Manchester City. There's something of an understatement.

00:30:52One victory in 24 Premier League meetings.

00:30:57What a little loose from Ake. And Njai's on to it. Beto trying to get into the penalty area.

00:31:02There he is! And he's wondering just how he didn't make the all-important contact.

00:31:09Excellent try from Njai. And subsequent ball. Oh, that's how close Beto was.

00:31:22That's the Garner there on Haaland.

00:31:27City keen to keep things moving. Nunes.

00:31:29Savinio.

00:31:34Really nicely tied ball into Savinio. Almost had too much time to think about it.

00:31:42Have a landmark today. His 350th Premier League game as a manager.

00:31:49Not done too badly in the previous 349, has he?

00:31:53Again, Savinio. That time Nikolenko got his foot in.

00:31:58And City have their second corner of the game.

00:32:03They have yet to score from a corner in the Premier League this season.

00:32:07Everton will hope that continues here.

00:32:09Oh, it nearly didn't!

00:32:10Well, Pickford didn't move here.

00:32:14So congested.

00:32:16It would have been an own goal.

00:32:18Off Jake O'Brien.

00:32:21And Njai for Everton.

00:32:22And they're trying to get numbers forward.

00:32:24Alcaraz is bursting down the left-hand side.

00:32:27Here comes Adrissa Gaye.

00:32:30He's trying to pick out Alcaraz.

00:32:31Fantastic defending from Reinders.

00:32:36Here's Njai.

00:32:37Such a box of tricks.

00:32:39Illion Njai!

00:32:40Turned over by Donnarumma.

00:32:43With his first save of the game.

00:32:45But in those moments, Everton have looked a threat on the break.

00:32:50Top scorer Njai has been at the heart of most of it.

00:32:52Organo is looking for the run of Dewsbury Hall.

00:33:02Haaland with the block.

00:33:03And Haaland's now on the charge here for Manchester City.

00:33:06Reinders.

00:33:07Doku!

00:33:08Denied by Pickford.

00:33:11And cleared by Mikhilenko.

00:33:13And in the blink of an eye,

00:33:15from that, with Everton in possession on halfway,

00:33:19Manchester City

00:33:20sends something.

00:33:21And in the end,

00:33:23it was straight at Jordan Pickford.

00:33:28Ake.

00:33:37Reinders to pick out Savinho.

00:33:40Who's around Mikhilenko.

00:33:42It's Savinho!

00:33:44And Jordan Pickford to the rescue again.

00:33:46And it's virtually the last kick of this first half.

00:33:49It's been a fascinating battle, this.

00:33:52The Brazilian against the Ukrainian.

00:33:53The Brazilian won this one.

00:33:55And he caught that much better.

00:33:56Oh, that's a nicely weighted ball.

00:34:08O'Reilly in.

00:34:09There he is!

00:34:11We've hardly mentioned his name,

00:34:13but the main man steps forward again.

00:34:16Erling Haaland into double Premier League figures already for the season.

00:34:23Forget touches of the ball.

00:34:25Forget goal involvements.

00:34:27This is what he's all about.

00:34:28And from the moment O'Reilly was looking to cross that,

00:34:33he was on the move.

00:34:34There's the look from O'Reilly.

00:34:36Lovely delivery.

00:34:36And the end result was never, ever in doubt.

00:34:42Deadlock broken.

00:34:43And no surprise.

00:34:45With the name on the score sheet.

00:34:50And incidentally, that's the third time

00:34:52that Haaland has been into double figures

00:34:55in the first eight league games of the season.

00:34:57And it's no surprise nobody else has managed that.

00:34:59Oscar Bob.

00:35:06Lovely turn from Foden.

00:35:09He's picked out Savino.

00:35:12Haaland wants it pulled back.

00:35:14And Haaland makes it two.

00:35:19Erling Haaland at the double.

00:35:22Two in five second half minutes.

00:35:25Have a completely different complexion on this game.

00:35:29Talk of Erling enjoying his football.

00:35:33What a spell he's enjoying.

00:35:36Demanded it here.

00:35:37Pulled away.

00:35:39I think that went through the legs of Tarkovsky.

00:35:42Which deceived Pickford.

00:35:44Two for Haaland.

00:35:45And two for Manchester City.

00:35:54Foden.

00:35:55He's looking for Haaland.

00:35:56Now then, here's the hat-trick opportunity.

00:36:00Undenied by Pickford.

00:36:02He's on it again.

00:36:04That time blocked and followed in and wide.

00:36:08From Cherky.

00:36:10But for all the delight of the two goals.

00:36:14That will eat away at him.

00:36:16On the verge of a 28 career hat-trick.

00:36:18And the majority of the Eti had expected him here to complete it.

00:36:23Pickford's left hand first.

00:36:26And then Tarkovsky's block.

00:36:27Dibbling on Cherky.

00:36:36Silly yellow card for Tyler Dibbling.

00:36:38Here goes Haaland.

00:36:46Is it this time?

00:36:47No!

00:36:48Denied by Pickford again.

00:36:50Oscar Bob's picked it up.

00:36:53Haaland again.

00:36:58He slams the turf in sheer frustration.

00:37:01Brilliant movement.

00:37:06Really well found.

00:37:09Leg to pick for this time.

00:37:13The United in the match ball.

00:37:15This one wouldn't quite come down for him.

00:37:17A lot of work.

00:37:19They were not easy at all.

00:37:21And the first half more troubled.

00:37:25We couldn't really settle our game.

00:37:27And a completely different second half.

00:37:29And three points.

00:37:31When you've got Erling in the form that he's in.

00:37:33What a five minutes again for him to turn the game around.

00:37:37We cannot rely on completely the team and him.

00:37:40So we need other players.

00:37:42Swingers, tacky midfielders.

00:37:45And other ones we need.

00:37:47We need to.

00:37:48They have to make a step up to score goals.

00:37:51Of course we play to provide Erling.

00:37:54The quality they have.

00:37:55The passes and score goals.

00:37:58But other players have to do it again.

00:38:00The job against a lot of the better teams than us.

00:38:03Is to make sure we challenge them.

00:38:04When we put in a performance.

00:38:05And for long periods of the game we did.

00:38:07So we move on.

00:38:09I'm disappointed with the result.

00:38:10Not with how the players perform today.

00:38:13Well because he was the outstanding player today.

00:38:16I think we should have a little bit of time.

00:38:18To really kind of wax lyrical about Erling Haaland.

00:38:20And have a look at that.

00:38:21That's the quickest players to reach 10 Premier League goals.

00:38:25And Erling Haaland occupies the top three places.

00:38:27There is of course a Newcastle United legend on there.

00:38:30But it's not you.

00:38:31It's Les.

00:38:31It's Les Ferdinand.

00:38:33What happened Alan?

00:38:33Did you see a striker?

00:38:35Yeah.

00:38:36I remember when one goal every game was alright.

00:38:39Yeah you took 10.

00:38:40Was it?

00:38:40Yeah.

00:38:40He took 10 games.

00:38:4192, 93.

00:38:43Yeah.

00:38:43Not good enough.

00:38:44He was today at his unplayable best at times wasn't he?

00:38:47Yeah I mean.

00:38:48It seems quite ridiculous.

00:38:49Me doing an analysis piece on a striker.

00:38:51We've got Alan Shearer.

00:38:53Record Premier League goalscorer.

00:38:55But I want to talk about from a defensive point of view.

00:38:58And what Everton did.

00:38:59So as we roll it on here.

00:39:03It's really interesting with Haaland's movement.

00:39:06They always talk about he doesn't have many touches.

00:39:09But it's his smart movement.

00:39:11And Keem there can see him.

00:39:13It's absolutely perfect.

00:39:15And as we roll it on now.

00:39:18Haaland can see the back of his shirt.

00:39:21So can we just hold it there for a moment.

00:39:23We're always taught as a defender.

00:39:25Now to defend the space.

00:39:27So he has to run back as quick as possible.

00:39:29The two centre half into that space.

00:39:32And Haaland knows he can outrun him.

00:39:34But what he decides to do.

00:39:36As we roll it on here now.

00:39:38Is just check his run.

00:39:41And that is IQ.

00:39:43And it's unbelievable.

00:39:44Game football intelligence.

00:39:46Again here.

00:39:48Absolutely outstanding.

00:39:50Just gets in these brilliant positions.

00:39:53Where he just holds his run.

00:39:56Perfect.

00:39:56Now if we hold it here.

00:39:58Okay.

00:39:58As the ball for Man City goes out wide.

00:40:01As the centre half.

00:40:02You have to protect the near post.

00:40:05So as we run it on slowly here.

00:40:08Tarkovsky is in two minds.

00:40:11Whether to drop back.

00:40:12Or to go to the danger.

00:40:14Which is Haaland.

00:40:15And it's too late for Pickford.

00:40:17He sees it.

00:40:18But the next clip.

00:40:19Is my absolute favourite.

00:40:21We'll just stop it here for a moment.

00:40:25Keane there in his perfect position.

00:40:27You see Foden on the ball there.

00:40:29So when Foden's on the ball now.

00:40:31How you learnt to defend.

00:40:33If he's got time and space.

00:40:35You have dropped off.

00:40:36He's dropped off.

00:40:37He's given himself five yards.

00:40:38We roll on the ball.

00:40:40We roll it on now.

00:40:41As he plays that pass.

00:40:43Haaland still.

00:40:45Gets it.

00:40:45And that's what we talk about.

00:40:47Unplayable.

00:40:48Defenders are doing the right things.

00:40:51But they still can't defend him.

00:40:53When he's in this form.

00:40:54He really is unstoppable.

00:40:57And his goal record this season.

00:40:59What's he got?

00:41:0023 goals in 13 games for club and country.

00:41:02It's just phenomenal.

00:41:04Yeah.

00:41:04Let's have a look at where that puts him.

00:41:06In kind of Europe's elite.

00:41:07If you like.

00:41:08And again.

00:41:09Harry Kane was scoring tonight.

00:41:11For Bayern Munich.

00:41:12But look.

00:41:12This is club and country.

00:41:14And his rate of scoring is the best in Europe this season.

00:41:18He's got everything on him.

00:41:19Yeah.

00:41:20I mean.

00:41:20You're talking about three amazing players there.

00:41:22But for me.

00:41:22If you're building from scratch.

00:41:25What you want as the ideal centre forward.

00:41:29Look at Haaland.

00:41:30He's got obviously the goals.

00:41:33Pace.

00:41:33Movement.

00:41:34Strength.

00:41:35Good in the air.

00:41:36He doesn't mind being roughed up.

00:41:38It doesn't bother him if he doesn't have five or six touches within a minute.

00:41:42Or he has one touch per half.

00:41:44So long as that touch is a goal.

00:41:46There's not many players like that.

00:41:48So for me.

00:41:49He's almost perfect.

00:41:51He really is.

00:41:53He's a fantastic talent.

00:41:55I love watching him.

00:41:56And we're lucky to have him in our league.

00:41:59And obviously Man City have got an incredible player on their hands.

00:42:02And they needed him today.

00:42:03Because the first half there wasn't much there was there?

00:42:05Yeah.

00:42:06I think Everton had some really good chances with Beto.

00:42:08But in the end the quality shone through.

00:42:11Okay.

00:42:11Thank you very much.

00:42:13Well.

00:42:13Premier League leaders.

00:42:14Arsenal travel to Fulham.

00:42:15Looking to make it five wins in a row in all competitions.

00:42:18Jonathan Pearce was at Craven Cottage.

00:42:20Arsenal are now odds-on to land their first title since 2004.

00:42:26The Cottagers look to go four home league games unbeaten at the start of a season for the first time since 2011.

00:42:32With three changes.

00:42:33Kearney gets a first league start this season for the injured Lukic.

00:42:37Cuenca a first premier start since the opening day for Bassi.

00:42:40Who's only on the bench after international duty.

00:42:42And Jimenez is fit to return after a groin problem.

00:42:44Diop drops out.

00:42:46Arsenal just one defeat in their last 14 against Fulham.

00:42:48And to a favourable run of fixtures.

00:42:50Looking to cement top spot.

00:42:52With one in fours changed with a win over West Ham.

00:42:54Zubimendi for the injured Odegaard.

00:42:56Just three goals conceded in ten games in all.

00:42:58It's their best ever defensive start.

00:43:02They went into this.

00:43:03They lost their previous two.

00:43:05They lost three league games in a row in December 23.

00:43:08But at home they're a different proposition.

00:43:13Easy minute.

00:43:13And Berger to Wilson.

00:43:20And to plant it.

00:43:23Really decent start here by Fulham.

00:43:26They are causing this morning's league leaders problems.

00:43:29End of his body to try and bend it in.

00:43:32To add to the goal he scored against Brentford back in September.

00:43:35But all a little bit slow from Arsenal in possession.

00:43:41Not a lot of movement up front.

00:43:42Calafiori's now made a dash into the middle.

00:43:45He's found by Trasada.

00:43:46Scores.

00:43:47Could have been out of the car.

00:43:49But there's a flag up.

00:43:50And it won't count.

00:43:52That's a real moment of invention from Arsenal in the game.

00:43:56Calafiori breaking lines with his run.

00:43:58Lovely finish mind you.

00:44:00But it won't count.

00:44:07He's as it.

00:44:08Again dwelt on it too long.

00:44:11And King will race away for Fulham.

00:44:13Chased by Zubomendi.

00:44:15He leaves him to Gabriel.

00:44:19Still King.

00:44:21Oh deceptive right I have to say.

00:44:23He didn't mean it.

00:44:24He's looking for a Wobie in the middle.

00:44:26He's had a look.

00:44:28Maybe he didn't mean it.

00:44:30He'll say he did.

00:44:32Timber has Saka down the line.

00:44:34That's him making a run as well.

00:44:36Just inside him.

00:44:37And again good work by Fulham here.

00:44:39Now there's a gap.

00:44:39Saka onto Jokeres.

00:44:41Is he onside?

00:44:42Carried by Leino.

00:44:43Trasada leaps with a loose ball.

00:44:46And connected by the keeper.

00:44:47Second time.

00:44:48Lopros played on by Castagne.

00:44:51Fizzed the shot.

00:44:51And Leino got down to it well.

00:44:54That's the best we've seen from Arsenal.

00:44:56Big Jagger.

00:44:58Watching on.

00:45:05Arsenal finishing the first half strongly.

00:45:10Saka to take on Sessignor.

00:45:12Oh that's dangerous.

00:45:13The cross in comes out of Calafiore.

00:45:15Could hit.

00:45:16Couldn't keep it down.

00:45:18Get it full flat on the left foot volley.

00:45:21Arsenal beginning to create.

00:45:23Timber looks for Saka.

00:45:29To take on Sessignor.

00:45:31And he's got away from him here.

00:45:33Saka.

00:45:33Still going.

00:45:34Pokes it square.

00:45:35It's come off the defender.

00:45:36And in the end just about cleared away by Castagne.

00:45:40Determined run by Bakayo Saka.

00:45:42The Arsenal captain.

00:45:43Picked it up there.

00:45:44Got away from Sessignor.

00:45:46Stayed on his feet.

00:45:47That's a heavy touch.

00:45:48But he was too strong in that challenge.

00:45:52Game that Arsenal would have expected to win.

00:45:55Berger.

00:45:58And King has wrestled it the way of Fulham.

00:46:00Jimenez.

00:46:01Managed to scramble it on to Wilson.

00:46:03Back it goes.

00:46:04Look at Raul Jimenez.

00:46:05Vital touch by Timber.

00:46:06Iwobi.

00:46:07Back through the penalty.

00:46:08And Wilson arrives.

00:46:10Fulham burns respond.

00:46:12Crescendo of noise.

00:46:14Tenacity.

00:46:17Endeavour.

00:46:18And in the end.

00:46:19And the ball was played back by Iwobi.

00:46:21Met it true enough.

00:46:22But couldn't keep it down.

00:46:25Come on Fulham is the cry.

00:46:28Zubamendi.

00:46:29There's Timber down the right hand side.

00:46:32Keeping Ben wide out of the team.

00:46:33Because he's a more attacking threat.

00:46:36Saka's squeezing through to Eza.

00:46:38Jokre's that's a good challenge.

00:46:41It's a good challenge.

00:46:42And Crenker stayed down.

00:46:44And Gareth's holding his face.

00:46:46Just got bumped there from Jokre.

00:46:51Fulham determinedly have held on for 57 minutes.

00:46:56Here comes the cross.

00:46:57It's in this round.

00:46:59Trossard.

00:47:00Score of many.

00:47:01An important goal was in there.

00:47:03Did he get the touch?

00:47:04He thinks he did.

00:47:06Gabriel was involved as well.

00:47:08Arsenal lead.

00:47:0958 minutes gone.

00:47:10Trossard arriving at the far post.

00:47:13The deadlock is broken.

00:47:14One of the near posts by Gabriel.

00:47:16And there's the Belgian international to force it in.

00:47:20Coaches goal for Trossard.

00:47:22Now the best teams find a way.

00:47:27If they can hold on to this lead.

00:47:30Now that Arsenal would have come through a tricky day.

00:47:33Saka.

00:47:39Taking on Kevin.

00:47:41That is going to be a penalty kick.

00:47:45Risky challenge by the substitute.

00:47:47It's the first thing he's done since coming on.

00:47:51VAR was asking the question whether the ball was touched.

00:47:55Stuart Atwell has told Anthony Taylor to go to the monitor.

00:48:01He's made contact with the ball there.

00:48:04The ball moves off the contact from the foot.

00:48:07This has to be overturned the decision.

00:48:10And here comes the referee.

00:48:11After review.

00:48:12And we'll hear his description.

00:48:14422 makes a challenge.

00:48:17And plays the ball.

00:48:19Therefore no fouls committed.

00:48:21No penalty.

00:48:22Martinelli.

00:48:29Martinelli.

00:48:32Squeezes the pass up wide to Saka.

00:48:35Timbers there ahead of him.

00:48:38Into Jokeres again.

00:48:39Back to goal.

00:48:39Good swivel.

00:48:40It's parried.

00:48:42And that's a good double save.

00:48:43Martinelli denied in the end.

00:48:45Well there you can see what Jokeres can do.

00:48:48Decent save.

00:48:49And then the follow up save from Martinelli.

00:48:51Was just as good.

00:48:53We came to a really difficult place.

00:48:55We had experience in the last two seasons.

00:48:56Not winning here.

00:48:57And we wanted to make another step.

00:49:00Against that really good side.

00:49:01And keep knocking on the door.

00:49:02And keep insisting.

00:49:03Because the way they play demands that.

00:49:06But very happy.

00:49:07At the point of the corner was taken.

00:49:10I saw Gabi going to duel.

00:49:11And I went to the back post when it happened.

00:49:13So really pleased the ball came there.

00:49:17And yeah.

00:49:17Did the last job.

00:49:19Where Gabriel's jump.

00:49:20So wide that it's almost impossible.

00:49:22If you don't stop him in the run.

00:49:23And we tried.

00:49:24Most of the times we did very well in our defensive set pieces.

00:49:27In that moment he jumped in a way that was very difficult for us to control.

00:49:32Three goals conceded in 11 games.

00:49:34That's the best ever defensive start in Arsenal's history.

00:49:38Yeah.

00:49:38I'm so happy for the team.

00:49:42For everyone.

00:49:43Because we work very hard.

00:49:44And training every day.

00:49:46And yeah.

00:49:47That's the reward we get as well.

00:49:48If you keep a clean sheet.

00:49:49You need only one goal to win a game.

00:49:51And it was a tough game for us today.

00:49:53And we did it that way.

00:49:55Well Jonathan said it there.

00:49:56They are the best defensively in Europe.

00:49:58They've gone back to back games now.

00:49:59Without letting the opposition have a shot.

00:50:01First time in 22 years.

00:50:02So what's improved?

00:50:03Because they were already good last season defensively.

00:50:05Yeah.

00:50:06I think they defend really well as a team.

00:50:09In all parts of the pitch.

00:50:11So I just want to show you the first clip.

00:50:13You would say this is a high block.

00:50:15If Alan you forgive me for saying that.

00:50:17But in terms of.

00:50:19It was a throw in.

00:50:20And look at the reaction from Gabriel to get back in.

00:50:24Now you've got a four versus four.

00:50:27And as the clip materialises.

00:50:30The ball goes wide.

00:50:33Gabriel's back into position.

00:50:34The ball's going to get circulated around again.

00:50:38And before you know it.

00:50:40You've got the whole team.

00:50:42Behind the ball.

00:50:44That is defending.

00:50:45As a group.

00:50:46As a team.

00:50:47Knowing exactly what they need to do.

00:50:49So you've had the high block.

00:50:50Now we're in the mid block.

00:50:52Arsenal on the ball.

00:50:53They give away the ball.

00:50:54Sloppily.

00:50:56And.

00:50:57You think in this situation.

00:50:58Will they panic?

00:50:59Nope.

00:51:00Rice.

00:51:01Sales Gabriel to go left.

00:51:02Caleb Fiore doubles up with him.

00:51:04Rice goes into the centre back position.

00:51:06Absolute.

00:51:07Brilliant defending.

00:51:08So they've had the high.

00:51:09We've had the middle.

00:51:10And this is what they've been doing.

00:51:11Especially in the Champions League.

00:51:12Against really good sides.

00:51:14In that low block.

00:51:15Saying to Fulham.

00:51:17Play round us.

00:51:18Because you're not going to play through us.

00:51:19And if they do get through.

00:51:21It's going to have to be something exceptional to really do that.

00:51:26Nice and compact.

00:51:27Excellent.

00:51:29And.

00:51:29Yeah.

00:51:30I mean.

00:51:31The compactness in the centre of the pitch.

00:51:33Of this team.

00:51:34Is just brilliant.

00:51:35So the conclusion of that.

00:51:37If they continue to do this.

00:51:39Last season they drew 1-0.

00:51:40Today they get the win.

00:51:41And if they want to win the league.

00:51:43They need to carry on with this form.

00:51:44Because look at that.

00:51:45Goals conceded first.

00:51:46Clean sheets first.

00:51:47Big chances against first.

00:51:49XG.

00:51:50And the rest is history.

00:51:52And.

00:51:53May well be.

00:51:54May be.

00:51:54As you allude to there.

00:51:56Defensively.

00:51:57Yes.

00:51:57Very very strong.

00:51:58They've scored the same amount of goals at this stage.

00:51:59As they did last year.

00:52:00Which is 15 goals.

00:52:01And all season long.

00:52:02We were hearing.

00:52:02They really need a centre forward.

00:52:04They need somebody who can.

00:52:05You know.

00:52:05Bag them a load of goals.

00:52:06They buy the centre forward.

00:52:07In the Ocarus.

00:52:08And he hasn't got the goals.

00:52:09No.

00:52:10But has he helped improve them.

00:52:11Yeah.

00:52:12He hasn't got the goals.

00:52:13I mean.

00:52:13He's not in the league.

00:52:13Of the three.

00:52:15We showed in the previous clip.

00:52:16Far from that.

00:52:17But I think he brings a different strength.

00:52:19There's no doubt that he will have to improve his goal scoring.

00:52:23As you said.

00:52:23He's only got three.

00:52:24But one of his strengths.

00:52:26Which has suited Arsenal.

00:52:27Is.

00:52:28He actually goes the other way.

00:52:29He goes in behind.

00:52:30And I think when he does that.

00:52:32That then creates space for others to play.

00:52:34Because.

00:52:35Last season.

00:52:36You had maybe Havertz.

00:52:37Or Mourinho.

00:52:38Mourinho.

00:52:39Coming short.

00:52:40And that's easier for teams to defend against.

00:52:42But when you're running the other way.

00:52:44They get deeper and deeper.

00:52:45Deeper.

00:52:45That then opens the space.

00:52:47So for others to play.

00:52:48So I think.

00:52:48From that point of view.

00:52:50He has improved Arsenal.

00:52:52And will he get the goals?

00:52:53Do you feel like that?

00:52:54I think he will get the goals.

00:52:55Obviously nowhere near as many as he got last season.

00:52:57But he will get the goals.

00:52:58With the number of chances that Arsenal create.

00:53:01He will.

00:53:01And his numbers should improve.

00:53:03Okay.

00:53:04Two games.

00:53:05On tomorrow's match of the day.

00:53:06There's live commentary of both of those games on BBC Sounds tomorrow.

00:53:32Premier League Sunday begins at midday.

00:53:34You can also see highlights of all the week's Champions League games on Wednesday nights at 10.40 on BBC One.

00:53:39And if you fancy something a bit different you can watch the final day of Grand Sumo Tournament live from the Royal Abbott Hall on iPlayer from 2 o'clock.

00:53:50Winless Wolves travelled to face a Sunderland side unbeaten at home since returning to the top flight.

00:53:56Your commentator is Guy Mowbray.

00:53:57It's been a more than decent start by Sunderland and a very successful return to the Premier League for Granit Xhaka.

00:54:06He's provided the assist for all the team's last three goals and has fond memories at Wolves from last time he played them.

00:54:12Scoring twice in his final Arsenal appearance.

00:54:14A 5-0 win in May 2023.

00:54:17Fellow 33-year-old Matt Doherty is the only one playing today who also figured the last time these clubs met.

00:54:24Way back in a division down in May 2018.

00:54:26He missed Wolves' last game against Brighton following a wrist operation but he's quickly back to lead them in their quest for a first win of the season.

00:54:36The Black Cats purring especially at home whilst Wolves are howling.

00:54:41And if they don't get that first win here today or against Burnley next weekend then the anguish will be at a maximum.

00:54:51Siddiqui.

00:54:53Isidore.

00:54:54Johnston scampers back towards his goal.

00:54:56Isidore's got a lot to do but he's done it.

00:55:00And now the flight goes up.

00:55:04So Isidore's celebrations are cut short.

00:55:08Brilliantly finished by Wilson Isidore.

00:55:11Who is looking to carry on being Mr. 100% at home.

00:55:15He's scored in every game at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League this season.

00:55:19And for a brief run but he thought he'd done it again.

00:55:20Looking for a third home win already this season.

00:55:26The last time they were in the Premier League in 2016-17.

00:55:28They only won three at home all season.

00:55:31The last time they were in the Premier League in 2016-17.

00:55:33And for a third home win.

00:55:34And for a third home win.

00:55:35Le Fay effortlessly found by Xhaka.

00:55:42Win turns Doherty with ease as well.

00:55:44Here's Mukiele.

00:55:45He's going for the return.

00:55:49And he's scored.

00:55:53What a wonderful Sunderland move.

00:55:56Finished off by Noddy Mukiele's first Sunderland goal.

00:56:01Look at Mukiele.

00:56:01As soon as he laid it off.

00:56:04He demanded the return from Trey Duke.

00:56:08And he managed to get the shot through Sam Johnston.

00:56:11Who will feel that never mind sugar saved it at one point.

00:56:15He had saved it.

00:56:16In Sunderland one.

00:56:17Wolves nil.

00:56:21Trey Oreck.

00:56:24Cut out by Hugo Buena.

00:56:26Wolves have got to hang on just for the moment.

00:56:28Because Sunderland are well on top of Vito Pereira's team.

00:56:35Up on by Ballard.

00:56:37And off the post.

00:56:38Trey Hume so close to making it two.

00:56:41I see the clock whirring in Trey Hume's mind.

00:56:47Head it.

00:56:47Kick it.

00:56:48What do I do?

00:56:48I think he picked the right option.

00:56:50Very nearly scored.

00:56:51There you go.

00:56:55Gomez is going for it.

00:56:59Kiel is going away with it.

00:57:01Rigg.

00:57:02Oh.

00:57:02Risking.

00:57:03Ballard couldn't collect it.

00:57:04Strand Larson couldn't convert it.

00:57:06Joe Gomez.

00:57:10Wolves nearly gifted her way back into the game.

00:57:12Andre.

00:57:14That one's flown.

00:57:18Spent like a half of two halves.

00:57:21Sunderland on top for the first quarter.

00:57:24Wolves are well in this game.

00:57:29Andre.

00:57:30Jao Gomez.

00:57:34Rodrigo Gomez.

00:57:39Tugo Bueno.

00:57:41Marius knocks it down.

00:57:43And Manezzi lets fly.

00:57:46Roofs positioned absolutely brilliantly.

00:57:50A really simple save for him because of where he started.

00:57:54It's too close to the giant frame of Robin Roofsson.

00:57:57Curling towards the goalkeeper all the time.

00:58:01Siddiqui.

00:58:03Lefe.

00:58:04It's bounced off him.

00:58:06The referee does now stop the game.

00:58:09He was happy to see if some sort of advantage would develop.

00:58:12But it didn't.

00:58:20That's a difficult one to defend.

00:58:22But.

00:58:23Wolves have managed it.

00:58:26Ballard couldn't get the touch at the end.

00:58:28That's how this bounces.

00:58:30Bit of a spin on it.

00:58:31That's what takes it away from the flying Ballard.

00:58:34I think his expression rather sums up this second half.

00:58:38So does theirs.

00:58:40So does theirs.

00:58:40Arikadari down to Strand Larson.

00:58:47Arikadari misses it.

00:58:48And then the chance is put wide and it was another big chance.

00:58:53Chet Shua was in behind.

00:58:57I just wonder now if the Wolves' candle has flickered out.

00:59:00It might be a case of them needing to have done more when they did have spells on top.

00:59:06For much of this half that's been the case.

00:59:08Arikadari.

00:59:09Arikadari.

00:59:10Arikadari.

00:59:11Arikadari.

00:59:12Arikadari.

00:59:13Arikadari.

00:59:14Arikadari.

00:59:15Arikadari.

00:59:16There.

00:59:17And Lopez puts the next ball into the Sunderland box.

00:59:20Frantic defending now.

00:59:21And he trousers away with it.

00:59:23And look at the break.

00:59:24It's Talby.

00:59:25He's got Le Fay up there.

00:59:27He's got Mayenda further over.

00:59:28And Jost has been beaten by his own player.

00:59:322-0 Sunderland.

00:59:34Own goal, Critchie.

00:59:39Now the win is sealed.

00:59:42Hall's rotten luck continues.

00:59:45Perhaps appropriately enough.

00:59:47Beaten by the Black Cats.

00:59:50Talby leading the counter charge.

00:59:53He was looking for Mayenda at the back.

00:59:56Critchie knew he had to cut it out somehow.

00:59:58But Johnston was completely wrong-footed by that.

01:00:02Wolves are staying bottom.

01:00:04Sunderland are staying with that feeling

01:00:06and flying high in the Premier League.

01:00:10Was it a little bit anxious in the second half

01:00:13without that second goal on the board?

01:00:15Yeah, probably a bit.

01:00:16Because we are still a young team

01:00:17with limited shared experience.

01:00:21So you can't buy maturity.

01:00:25You have to experience different situations.

01:00:27It wasn't another one.

01:00:29And at least the mindset,

01:00:32the togetherness,

01:00:33helped us to keep this friendship.

01:00:36We have two or three chances

01:00:37that we cannot lose

01:00:38or cannot miss.

01:00:40That is football.

01:00:42Keep working.

01:00:45And prepare the next game.

01:00:48Because this is a game

01:00:49that we must win.

01:00:51Like today,

01:00:52but we must score goals,

01:00:55not concede goals.

01:00:57And this is what we should do.

01:00:59Lorde Mukherjeele,

01:01:00he seems to sum this team up.

01:01:02He plays happy football.

01:01:05Yeah, absolutely.

01:01:06Absolutely.

01:01:06He has a really good energy

01:01:07and he's really well connected

01:01:10with our project,

01:01:12our team.

01:01:14And he's a good player.

01:01:16We play very well

01:01:17the first half and the second.

01:01:19And yeah,

01:01:19we scored two goals

01:01:20and we don't concede.

01:01:21So this is really important for us,

01:01:23for the team

01:01:24and for the confidence.

01:01:25And yeah,

01:01:26I'm really happy

01:01:27also for my first goal at home.

01:01:29And yeah,

01:01:30just hope that we will keep going

01:01:31like we do

01:01:31because we did

01:01:33a really good game today.

01:01:35Well,

01:01:35no spoilers,

01:01:36but the fact that Sunderland

01:01:37are higher up the running order

01:01:38than Newcastle on the show

01:01:39and you're here

01:01:39might tell us something

01:01:40about what's going to happen

01:01:41in that match.

01:01:42But let's not go down that road

01:01:43because actually huge credit

01:01:45to Sunderland

01:01:46for their start of the season.

01:01:46Have a little look at this.

01:01:4799 teams have been promoted

01:01:50to the Premier League

01:01:50in its history

01:01:51and they are joint fifth

01:01:52in the amount of points

01:01:54they've managed to accrue

01:01:55in their first eight games.

01:01:58Joint with obviously

01:01:58the teams there

01:01:59right going up to Middlesbrough

01:02:00who are the only team

01:02:02out of that list

01:02:03who actually ended up

01:02:04being relegated.

01:02:05So it's boding very well

01:02:06for them this start

01:02:07to the season

01:02:07and their home form.

01:02:08So well,

01:02:09I think they signed

01:02:10really good players.

01:02:11Yes,

01:02:11they spent a lot of money

01:02:13but they brought quality

01:02:15into the squad.

01:02:15Xhaka's been good,

01:02:17Muchielli as well

01:02:18and you want to give

01:02:19Sunderland some praise

01:02:19don't you Alan?

01:02:21Well,

01:02:21you watch this game Micah

01:02:22so you can talk about it.

01:02:23What we did say about

01:02:25their home form

01:02:25was always going to be key

01:02:26and that's been

01:02:28part of their success.

01:02:29161 million they spent,

01:02:3014 players have been brought in

01:02:33but they've got to gel,

01:02:34they've got to work,

01:02:34they've got to be quality.

01:02:35Yes,

01:02:36I think that's the most important thing.

01:02:38You can sign whoever you want

01:02:39but they've got to buy into

01:02:40exactly what they want to do

01:02:42and they've got to perform

01:02:43and like you said,

01:02:44other than what,

01:02:45three wins and a draw at home

01:02:46they're using their stadium

01:02:47as a fortress

01:02:48and you know,

01:02:50I want to eat a little bit

01:02:51of humble pie as well

01:02:52because of the amount

01:02:53of players they signed

01:02:54I thought it would be

01:02:55difficult for them

01:02:56and they've done better

01:02:57than I expected

01:02:58and long may it continue

01:02:59because it's a really good story.

01:03:02Muchielli there

01:03:03with obviously

01:03:04a fantastic goal for him

01:03:06and obviously

01:03:07we've got to mention Wolves

01:03:08who are still winless

01:03:09wasn't a good start

01:03:11to them last season

01:03:11either

01:03:12but they've got

01:03:12Same as what happened

01:03:13last season

01:03:14they didn't win any

01:03:15in the first day

01:03:16of last season

01:03:16I think their next home game

01:03:17is Burnley

01:03:18and they have to win that.

01:03:21OK,

01:03:21up next

01:03:22Brighton face Newcastle

01:03:23with the Magpies

01:03:24never having won

01:03:25a Premier League game

01:03:26at the Amex

01:03:27Steve Wilson was there.

01:03:30Nine points from seven games

01:03:32is a slightly underwhelming

01:03:33tally for both these clubs

01:03:34who've come a long way

01:03:36since being promoted

01:03:37together in 2017.

01:03:39Fabian Ertzler

01:03:40makes one chase

01:03:41to Brighton XI

01:03:42which salvaged

01:03:42the late point

01:03:43at Wolves.

01:03:44Gruder has a knock

01:03:45and is replaced

01:03:46by Ruter.

01:03:47Nick Valtemada

01:03:48scored his first goal

01:03:49for Germany

01:03:50in the international break

01:03:51adding to a goal

01:03:52in each of his last three

01:03:54for Newcastle.

01:03:55No changes

01:03:56from the win over Forest.

01:03:59If this game

01:04:00were to finish goalless

01:04:01then Newcastle

01:04:02would be the first club

01:04:03in 90 years

01:04:04to play out

01:04:05goalless draws

01:04:05in each of their first

01:04:07four away league games.

01:04:11Trippier

01:04:12little bit of room

01:04:13crosses a decent one

01:04:16it was Joe Linton

01:04:17who attacked it

01:04:17Tonali turns it back

01:04:19into Bruno Guimaraes

01:04:20who did really well

01:04:21to find some space

01:04:22and is not far away

01:04:24that little step away

01:04:26from Dunk

01:04:27just gave him the room

01:04:29he needed

01:04:29to get the shot away.

01:04:32Eddie Howe

01:04:32used to be the fresh

01:04:34faced

01:04:34bright young thing

01:04:36of Premier League

01:04:37management

01:04:37but

01:04:39Fabian Ertzler

01:04:40is 15 years younger.

01:04:47Oh Joe Linton's

01:04:49given it away

01:04:49to Welbeck

01:04:50Jorginho Routier

01:04:51here for Brighton

01:04:52it's a good effort

01:04:54and a good save.

01:04:57Well Joe Linton

01:04:58will be mightily relieved.

01:05:01They thought they had

01:05:02Routier penned in

01:05:03he did very well

01:05:04to get the shot away

01:05:05on target

01:05:05good save by Pope.

01:05:092017

01:05:10Newcastle

01:05:10went up to

01:05:11the Premier League

01:05:11as champions

01:05:12just one point

01:05:14ahead of Brighton

01:05:14who went up

01:05:15as runners up

01:05:16in 17 meetings

01:05:17since

01:05:17Newcastle

01:05:18have only won

01:05:19two.

01:05:21Routier

01:05:22Routier

01:05:24through to

01:05:25Welbeck

01:05:25and nicked in

01:05:27by Danny Welbeck

01:05:28and that was

01:05:30so straightforward

01:05:31so simple

01:05:33straight down

01:05:35the middle

01:05:36and Brighton

01:05:37are in front

01:05:38but Routier

01:05:39collected the pass

01:05:41simply accelerated

01:05:43away from

01:05:44Tonali

01:05:44threaded it

01:05:46through to

01:05:46Welbeck

01:05:47who clipped

01:05:47it over

01:05:47Pope

01:05:48well how did

01:05:50Newcastle

01:05:51allow them

01:05:51to stroll

01:05:52through

01:05:52so simply

01:05:54it's beautifully

01:05:54taken by

01:05:55Welbeck

01:05:56Brighton

01:05:57won

01:05:58Newcastle

01:05:58nil

01:06:17for Newcastle

01:06:18there weren't

01:06:18any blue and

01:06:19white jerseys

01:06:19there and

01:06:49go giving those

01:06:58doesn't prevent it

01:06:58Bruno

01:07:12Guimaraes

01:09:22super

01:09:22challenged

01:09:23but well

01:09:23back

01:09:24he hadn't

01:09:30scored at

01:09:30the Amex

01:09:31since February

01:09:31and he was

01:09:33about to be

01:09:34substituted

01:09:34but he's

01:09:36got his

01:09:36second to

01:09:37this game

01:09:37and put

01:09:38Brighton

01:09:39back in

01:09:39front

01:09:40all about

01:09:43the run

01:09:43of Mats

01:09:44FIFA

01:09:44really

01:09:45it's a

01:09:46great

01:09:46challenge

01:09:47but it

01:09:48fell

01:09:48beautifully

01:09:49for

01:09:49Welbeck

01:09:50and he

01:09:51tucked it

01:09:52away with

01:09:52such

01:09:52aplomb

01:09:53and his

01:09:56name

01:09:57rings around

01:09:58the Amex

01:09:59we showed

01:10:02resilience

01:10:02we showed

01:10:03character

01:10:03we showed

01:10:04personality

01:10:04on the

01:10:05pitch

01:10:05and we

01:10:06stick to

01:10:06our

01:10:06principle

01:10:06we

01:10:07stayed

01:10:07in our

01:10:08formation

01:10:08we kept

01:10:10the structure

01:10:10quite well

01:10:11and then we

01:10:11get the

01:10:12reward

01:10:12so I'm

01:10:13very pleased

01:10:14with the

01:10:14performance

01:10:15overall

01:10:15we're disappointed

01:10:16with the first

01:10:17half performance

01:10:17really

01:10:18a bright start

01:10:19and then we

01:10:19faded

01:10:20the last half

01:10:21an hour

01:10:21that first

01:10:21half was

01:10:22hard to watch

01:10:24really

01:10:24I don't think

01:10:25we were

01:10:25particularly good

01:10:25with the ball

01:10:26and we ended

01:10:26up in transition

01:10:27an awful lot

01:10:28and Brighton

01:10:29scored in that

01:10:29period

01:10:30we were pleased

01:10:30to get in

01:10:31at 1-0

01:10:31and then try

01:10:32and regroup

01:10:32we were much

01:10:33better in the

01:10:33second half

01:10:33we gave a much

01:10:34better account

01:10:35of ourselves

01:10:35we looked like

01:10:36we could score

01:10:36we were a

01:10:37goal threat

01:10:37and when we

01:10:39conceded the

01:10:39second goal

01:10:40we were the

01:10:40dominant team

01:10:41there's always

01:10:42that possibility

01:10:42you've got to

01:10:43sniff it out

01:10:44that the ball

01:10:45could fall

01:10:45your way

01:10:45so I was

01:10:47kind of

01:10:47wondering

01:10:49trying to see

01:10:50if it could

01:10:51fall nicely

01:10:51for me

01:10:52and it did

01:10:53and I stuck

01:10:54it away

01:10:54very nicely

01:10:55the years

01:10:56the years

01:10:56you've been

01:10:56playing

01:10:56at this

01:10:57level

01:10:57you just

01:10:57look like

01:10:58a guy

01:10:58who's

01:10:58really

01:10:58enjoying

01:10:59himself

01:10:59nah

01:11:00I'm hating

01:11:00it

01:11:00I love it

01:11:03I've got the

01:11:04passion and love

01:11:05for football

01:11:06so when I'm out

01:11:07there on the pitch

01:11:08it's what I want

01:11:08to do

01:11:09I'm feeling good

01:11:10feel fit

01:11:11feel strong

01:11:11so it's not

01:11:12a time of

01:11:13stopping any time

01:11:14shortly

01:11:15did they deserve

01:11:17the win today

01:11:18Brighton

01:11:18yeah

01:11:18I thought

01:11:19Brighton

01:11:19were the better

01:11:20team

01:11:21Newcastle I thought

01:11:22were too easy

01:11:23to play through

01:11:24at times

01:11:24and Brighton

01:11:25found that way

01:11:26of finding that

01:11:27extra man in front

01:11:28of the back four

01:11:29and Newcastle's

01:11:30midfield

01:11:31and in fact

01:11:31Newcastle covered

01:11:33less ground

01:11:346km less ground

01:11:35than Brighton

01:11:36out of possession

01:11:37and that tells you

01:11:38we talk about

01:11:39whether it was

01:11:40Joe Linton

01:11:40or Bruno

01:11:41travelling back

01:11:42from playing

01:11:43Japan

01:11:43and South Korea

01:11:44or wherever

01:11:45or Tenali

01:11:46playing for Italy

01:11:47but it was

01:11:48unusual for Newcastle

01:11:49the first goals

01:11:50have conceded

01:11:50away from home

01:11:51and this is what

01:11:51Brighton did

01:11:53really really well

01:11:53getting in those

01:11:55positions there

01:11:55and the midfield

01:11:57just couldn't cope

01:11:58with that

01:11:58it's a brilliant

01:11:59ball through

01:11:59and a very very

01:12:00clever finish

01:12:01and it happened

01:12:02a few occasions

01:12:03there's the midfield

01:12:04they just played

01:12:05around them

01:12:06look Joe Linton

01:12:06comes in

01:12:07it's not really a press

01:12:08and the passing

01:12:09and the moving

01:12:10from Brighton

01:12:11again was

01:12:11excellent

01:12:13I know they came

01:12:14into it a lot more

01:12:14in the second half

01:12:15Newcastle

01:12:16but they took

01:12:17Joe Linton off

01:12:18they brought

01:12:18Lewis Miley

01:12:19onto the pitch

01:12:20but still

01:12:21they were finding

01:12:22those little

01:12:22bits of space

01:12:23just in between

01:12:24there you go

01:12:25Iari is there

01:12:26and again

01:12:27that pass is correct

01:12:28and before Newcastle

01:12:29can react

01:12:30they're too late

01:12:31and they should have

01:12:31been punished

01:12:32again

01:12:32and this was the

01:12:33winning goal

01:12:35coming up

01:12:35the movement's

01:12:36fantastic

01:12:36from Brighton

01:12:37look at Wefer

01:12:38there getting

01:12:39into that space

01:12:40albeit

01:12:40he doesn't

01:12:41get that

01:12:41ball

01:12:41doesn't come

01:12:42for him

01:12:42but that

01:12:43is such

01:12:44a clever

01:12:45finish

01:12:45it really

01:12:46really is

01:12:47and it has

01:12:48to

01:12:48because Newcastle

01:12:50normally

01:12:50in those positions

01:12:51they're really

01:12:52strong

01:12:52but today

01:12:53they weren't

01:12:54look at that

01:12:54Mike

01:12:55he's ageing

01:12:56like a fine wine

01:12:57isn't he

01:12:57Danny Welbeck

01:12:58he's on

01:12:59to score

01:12:59more goals

01:13:00in his 30s

01:13:01than he did

01:13:02in his 20s

01:13:03he only needs

01:13:03five more

01:13:04to equal

01:13:04his 20s

01:13:05total

01:13:05he's 34

01:13:06years old

01:13:06so it's

01:13:08feasible

01:13:08that he'll

01:13:09do that

01:13:09before he's

01:13:0935

01:13:10he's just

01:13:10a fantastic

01:13:11pro

01:13:11I mean

01:13:12he's had

01:13:12his knee

01:13:12injuries

01:13:13as well

01:13:13but he

01:13:14plays in

01:13:14a system

01:13:14that suits

01:13:15him

01:13:15and he

01:13:16said in

01:13:16his interview

01:13:16that he

01:13:17loves football

01:13:17I think

01:13:18he's got

01:13:18another

01:13:19three four

01:13:20years in him

01:13:20I don't

01:13:21think he's

01:13:21finishing

01:13:21any time

01:13:22soon

01:13:22because

01:13:23he's a

01:13:23number nine

01:13:24and there's

01:13:24not many

01:13:25number nines

01:13:25about there

01:13:26and I'm

01:13:26just delighted

01:13:26for him

01:13:27OK

01:19:25final

01:19:25touch

01:19:26there

01:19:26it's

01:19:30season for

01:19:30Scott Parker

01:19:31and for the

01:19:32first time

01:19:32Burnley have

01:19:33beaten

01:19:33Leeds

01:19:34United in

01:19:34the Premier

01:19:35League

01:19:35Burnley 2

01:19:36Leeds

01:19:37United

01:19:37now

01:19:37I thought the

01:19:39performance was

01:19:39everything we

01:19:40planned to come

01:19:41here today really

01:19:42so hugely

01:19:44competitive team

01:19:44and we probably

01:19:45experienced that

01:19:46last year certainly

01:19:47went toe to toe

01:19:48with Leeds for

01:19:48some time

01:19:49throughout that

01:19:50year

01:19:50but overall

01:19:52today

01:19:53first and foremost

01:19:54coming to get a

01:19:55result

01:19:55and we've

01:19:57managed to do

01:19:57that

01:19:57your first

01:19:58Burnley goal

01:19:59and what a goal

01:20:01can you talk us

01:20:01through it please

01:20:02I'm very happy

01:20:05I'm full

01:20:06I'm excited

01:20:09and proud

01:20:11and satisfied

01:20:12because it's

01:20:13long work

01:20:14I work every day

01:20:15for this

01:20:16with the team

01:20:17it's a beautiful

01:20:17goal

01:20:18I'm happy

01:20:19you have to be

01:20:20clinical

01:20:20especially as a

01:20:21newly promoted

01:20:21side

01:20:22and yeah

01:20:23each of your

01:20:23situation counts

01:20:24or to be

01:20:25self-critical

01:20:26you have to say

01:20:27you didn't have

01:20:27this effectiveness

01:20:28level

01:20:28like they had

01:20:29performance wise

01:20:30I can't complain

01:20:32about anything

01:20:32but this

01:20:33whole football works

01:20:33Oh and Daniel

01:20:35and the Leeds fans

01:20:35look at those stats

01:20:36they will wonder

01:20:36how they came

01:20:37away from

01:20:38Turf Moor

01:20:39with nothing

01:20:40Yeah Leeds were

01:20:40excellent

01:20:41apart from

01:20:42putting the

01:20:43ball in the

01:20:43back of the net

01:20:44absolutely dominated

01:20:45the game

01:20:45but Burnley

01:20:46stayed in the game

01:20:48and took the

01:20:48chances when

01:20:49needed

01:20:50Kyle Walker

01:20:50the first one

01:20:51the great

01:20:51great cross

01:20:52into

01:20:53Le Chukwu

01:20:53and then the

01:20:54second one

01:20:55Chuana

01:20:55what a strike

01:20:56this is

01:20:57he finds a

01:20:58little space

01:20:59in there

01:21:00and the

01:21:01turn

01:21:02too much

01:21:02time

01:21:03and he just

01:21:03absolutely

01:21:05belts it

01:21:06I mean the

01:21:06technique is

01:21:07just sublime

01:21:08sort of cuts

01:21:09across it

01:21:10the goalkeeper

01:21:11no chance

01:21:12I mean what an

01:21:13amazing goal

01:21:14that was

01:21:15And another

01:21:15promoted side

01:21:16that is really

01:21:17building on their

01:21:18home form

01:21:18Yeah but even if

01:21:19you look at the

01:21:19stats that won't

01:21:20bother Burnley

01:21:21because it was

01:21:21something similar

01:21:22to like that in the

01:21:23championship last

01:21:23season so they've

01:21:24just carried that

01:21:25home but yeah

01:21:25their home form

01:21:26is going to be

01:21:27key like it is

01:21:28for every

01:21:29club that comes

01:21:30up

01:21:30We mentioned a

01:21:32minute ago

01:21:32it's Wolves

01:21:33next away

01:21:34and that's a

01:21:35pivotal game

01:21:36for both

01:21:36they're going to

01:21:37target games

01:21:38away obviously

01:21:38Yeah but I

01:21:38think if you look

01:21:39at the bigger

01:21:40picture for Burnley

01:21:40I think Scott

01:21:41and his staff

01:21:42will be reasonably

01:21:43happy with the

01:21:44start that they've

01:21:45made in the

01:21:46Premier League

01:21:46they've shown to

01:21:48people I think

01:21:49they're going to be

01:21:49competitive

01:21:50particularly at

01:21:51home

01:21:51I think the

01:21:52good thing is

01:21:53when Burnley was

01:21:55under Vincent

01:21:55company they

01:21:56tried to play a

01:21:56style of play

01:21:57obviously they

01:21:58didn't work for

01:21:58the team

01:21:59he worked for

01:21:59company he's

01:21:59gone to Bayern

01:22:00Munich but now

01:22:01they've got a

01:22:02defensive style

01:22:02stuck to what

01:22:03they know and

01:22:04it's working for

01:22:05them and home

01:22:06form

01:22:06Yeah and all

01:22:07three promoted

01:22:08teams are out

01:22:08the bottom three

01:22:09so they'll all be

01:22:10very pleased with

01:22:11this style actually

01:22:12Yeah sticking to

01:22:12their identity

01:22:13working on their

01:22:14home form and

01:22:15at the moment

01:22:15seems to be

01:22:33points at this

01:22:39more than the

01:22:40three promoter
