01:13Well, it is that special time of the year where everyone starts as equals.
01:18Far back in the distance, memories of last season, positions and points tallies on the last day.
01:23That's all now irrelevant.
01:25It is all about the ultimate prize that lies a long way ahead.
01:29That buoyant feeling is here.
01:31New start, fresh hope.
01:33Get the season off to a flyer.
01:35The fans are believing.
01:42This must be amongst the favoured arenas of supporters all over the world.
01:46It really does have a very special feel to it.
01:50So everybody starts on nothing.
01:54Last season is in the past.
01:56We are all equals.
01:58Well, with star names and new faces both on the pitch and on the bench, let's hope for a more attractive, competitive and unpredictable league.
02:08A better product for all to see.
02:10Although I'm beginning to think that we're asking for the impossible.
02:13We'll get lots to analyse and debate come what may as ever.
02:17And this ought to get us off to a busy start.
02:20I've been waiting for this quite a while and I know you have too, Peter.
02:23So, here we go.
02:25We have already started here.
02:26Little doubt.
02:27That is a foul.
02:28It's not taken him long.
02:29That's going to be a booking.
02:30There is concern on the faces of the players standing around him here.
02:31Oh, brilliant goal!
02:32Oh, brilliant goal!
02:33A finish of Chelsea.
02:34Oh, brilliant goal!
02:35Oh, brilliant goal!
02:36Oh, brilliant goal!
02:37A finish of True Class.
02:38And that's got him off to a flush.
02:39Oh, brilliant goal!
02:40Oh, brilliant goal!
02:41A finish of True Class.
02:42And that's got him off to a flyer.
02:43Oh, brilliant goal!
02:44Oh, brilliant goal!
02:48And that's got him off to a flyer.
03:06Oh, brilliant goal!
03:10Oh, that is a bit special.
03:13Look, there's an awful lot that can go wrong from that range.
03:16How good was that?
03:40A 1-0 lead established.
03:47Yeah, this is also a chance to see what happens to their level of concentration from here.
03:56And it's got through.
04:00Can he deliver?
04:10There has been just the early goal here, and the score is 1-0.
04:20Catch it out.
04:25Catch it upfield.
04:35And a header!
04:38He's done well to get his head on that.
04:40But couldn't score.
04:41I have to commend the wing plate, but I have to condemn the defending.
04:44They've got to stop the cross.
05:07All through needs to be good here.
05:10And he heaves it forward.
05:13It's a loose ball.
05:15Played back in.
05:17It's a good run, that.
05:18Great timing.
05:18Sprayed out wide.
05:43Seated from behind.
05:44Pops it into the area.
05:45Pops it into the area.
05:53Played it short.
05:55Drilled in low.
05:56And that has been clubbed away.
06:05Oh, he's got a crucial block in there.
06:09The ball may need to be better there.
06:11That's a wasted chance.
06:14Out to the left it goes.
06:15That is the half-time whistle.
06:31So, there you have it.
06:32A close-fought half of football.
06:33But London still had its moments.
06:36It ultimately produced just one goal.
06:38Well, this team has found a real rhythm to their game.
06:43The players seem to have clicked well.
06:45There's good movement off the ball.
06:46The passes are sticking.
06:47No one's afraid to have a go.
06:50Leading 1-0 at the break.
06:51We're underway again.
07:00Well, it's been tight, Peter.
07:01But I'm expecting things to open up now.
07:04And we get some free flow in football.
07:09He's left his man.
07:10He's got options in the box if he gets his head up.
07:13And it's been taken short.
07:22With a delicate ball.
07:26It has crossed the line.
07:28And it's a throw.
07:32It's cut loose.
07:35Looks to clip it forward.
07:37Slid it through.
07:43Played it short.
07:46Chills one in.
07:57He's given a throw.
08:06He's made sure that that won't get through.
08:09Good running with the ball.
08:10Can they build on it?
08:13Plays it out to the wing.
08:23Oh, that is lovely footwork.
08:32What are you thinking?
08:34Well, this lead is beginning to look a little delicate.
08:37I'd rather see them show the ambition and adventure to go further ahead.
08:41But it seems as if they settle for a risky approach down to the benders.
08:45This defense just doesn't trust itself to play a higher line.
09:15Frightened the people getting in behind.
09:16Yeah, absolutely.
09:17It just opens up the opportunity of not only strikers getting behind, but the runners from midfield too.
09:22It turns and goes back.
09:29And he's going long.
09:33Stitch defending, but that'll do.
09:34It changes then in quick succession.
09:40Well, for me, this was the obvious substitution.
09:42He'd become just a little jaded.
09:44And as a result of that, he was most likely to make a mistake.
09:47I think sometimes when the body becomes tired, the brain goes with it.
09:51And I think that's happened in this case.
09:53Out wide to the right.
10:00Now, a chance to break.
10:02Oh, well, interesting.
10:04And the referee brings it to a close.
10:07Day one, job done.
10:08The perfect start they craved.
10:11To summarize what we've seen today then, Jim.
10:13Well, of course, the result was the opening day priority.
10:16And it was achieved with real front foot positivity.
10:21So thank you very much, Jim, for joining me.
10:23That brings us to the end of our coverage.
10:26So from us both, a very good evening.
