00:00Welcome to Match of the Dead.
00:30Evening, just the four matches tonight, but no shortage of storylines.
00:47These two will more than likely throw me under the bus.
00:51After being left out of the Liverpool squad for the midweek trip to Inter Milan,
00:55Mo Salah was back on the bench for the visit of Brighton.
00:58Guy Mowbray was at Anfield.
01:00Only one place to start.
01:04It's been one of the most eagerly awaited team sheets of the season,
01:07with Mohamed Salah indeed back for Liverpool,
01:10but only as a substitute as Arnaz Slott makes two changes from Tuesday's win in Milan.
01:16Milos Kerkhez returns at left-back in place of Andy Robertson,
01:20and there's a start for Florian Wirtz.
01:22He's in for Alexander Isak, also on the bench, having taken a knock at the San Siro.
01:27And it's a milestone match for Curtis Jones, as he brings up 200 first-team games for Liverpool.
01:34For Brighton, also two team changes, with Brian Gruda and Jack Hinchelwood,
01:38replacing Maxime De Kuyper and Danny Welbeck.
01:41Hinchelwood got the winning goal for the Seagulls when they last faced Liverpool in May.
01:45They've never beaten them in successive league meetings.
01:53And it's Brighton to get things going.
01:56Starting the weekend in eighth place in the Premier League, above Liverpool on goal difference.
02:02And here they are at a ground where they've only ever won three times in 20 visits overall.
02:13Just once in the Premier League, and that was in February of 2021.
02:18Lewis Dunk playing it back to Bart Verbruggen, who was under the pump already from Curtis Jones,
02:24doing a lot of the hard running that is very much a part of his game.
02:29Jones only half won the ball there, though.
02:36Minter took a bit of a lash at it.
02:38Gomez back into the box.
02:39Hekateke!
02:44Liverpool take the lead in seconds.
02:4748 of them.
02:48Well, it is the Brighton way.
02:53They love to play out from the back.
02:55Perhaps there they should have done a bit more playing, because this seemed unnecessarily risky.
03:01Gomez got to it first.
03:03Still quite a bit for Ugo Eketike to do.
03:07He got everything just right.
03:10Liverpool 1, Brighton 0.
03:13He's right to take a bow, son.
03:15I think that's how we'd describe that look.
03:22Or maybe just engrossed in the game like the rest of us.
03:27Van Hecker, that's a good pass.
03:28Ruter.
03:31Minter.
03:34Minter with a chance to shoot.
03:35I think Alisson had it covered, but it was a close thing.
03:40A little bit more bend, and his fingertips might have been touched.
03:45Van Hecker.
03:52FIFA.
03:54Got away from Jones.
03:55That's OK.
03:55Here's Minter.
03:56That's a lovely ball.
03:58What a move that was from Brighton.
03:59And a big save from Alisson.
04:02That's now going to be a Liverpool free kick.
04:04But they're indebted to their goalkeeper for keeping their lead intact here.
04:13Towards Gomez.
04:14Gomez keeps going.
04:22And just about keeps it in too.
04:24Hecker-Tike can't keep that one down though.
04:27Same two that combined for the opening goal.
04:32Joe Gomez keeping the ball in play by the skin of the leather.
04:37Well, the coating anyway.
04:39Not sure how much pure cowhide is used in footballs these days.
04:42And the refs stop the game.
04:51Joe Gomez needs a little bit of assistance.
04:55Joe Gomez knows all about injuries.
04:58Knows that all too well.
05:02And guess what's going to happen here.
05:04Joe Gomez is going to have to go off.
05:07But coming on, it's Mohamed Salah.
05:09And let's have a listen to the reception that Mohamed Salah gets on as a sub for Liverpool.
05:23And it is 100% resoundingly positive.
05:27There's no sentiment, there's no emotion or feelings from Arna Slott.
05:33It's purely what's best for my team.
05:38Here goes Salah.
05:40Plenty running for him.
05:42McAllister!
05:43Ah, Eketike nearly got there for number two.
05:46Verbruggen there first.
05:52He's on and he's in the game.
05:54Almost making something happen moments after taking the field.
05:58I hear the positive cries of Albion from the visiting seats now.
06:05Van Hecker into the box.
06:06Rute challenges.
06:07Gomez hits it.
06:09And Canate stayed in the way of it.
06:12Rute goes again.
06:13Wirtz.
06:15There's Belieber, but there's a late challenge that will bring Liverpool a free kick.
06:20Florian Wirtz is down and Gomez is down as well.
06:23I think he was the perpetrator.
06:25Good skill from Florian Wirtz.
06:27Keeping his cool, but ooh, dear me.
06:29That is wild from Diego Gomez.
06:32And that is going to be a booking which will rule him out of next weekend's game against Sunderland.
06:40Alisson.
06:42Clears everybody.
06:44Vipa's onto it now though.
06:45But not for long.
06:46Stolen by Eketike.
06:49Eketike wanders through and keeps on going.
06:52Before putting the shot wide.
06:54That would have been some goal.
06:57What about this for sheer determination?
07:06Gruda.
07:07Loads of room on the left for Gomez, but he hasn't looked that way.
07:11Gomez might get onto that though, he did.
07:14And he should have scored.
07:16Brighton might not get a better chance than that.
07:20Played across superbly.
07:22For Diego Gomez.
07:24It's a cracking pass from Mats Vipa.
07:28Couldn't have timed his run onto it any better.
07:30And he didn't get his angles right.
07:35Tell you who would have put that in.
07:37Danny Wilbeck.
07:38Leading English scorer in the Premier League at this point this season.
07:42Gomez.
07:44Gomez.
07:46Kadioglu
07:48Ruter battling with Canate
07:51Gomez is there
07:52and Gomez finds Gruda
07:55Gruda
07:56Liverpool have got to tighten up
08:00wide open spaces for Brighton
08:03as they attacked on that occasion
08:04lovely cut back
08:07from Gomez and then Gruda
08:08kept his cool trying to
08:10jink his way into a proper goal scoring position
08:13and he very nearly had it
08:14then Hecker
08:19too easily bunked off that
08:22by Wierz
08:22Ekertike
08:23he's past dunk
08:24he's through
08:25he's got Salah with him
08:27and he had McAllister too
08:29now Salah
08:31straight at Verbruggen
08:34should have been an easier chance
08:38than the one he got
08:39look at that position
08:41but I don't think Ekertike
08:43played the right ball
08:44at the right time
08:46Salah will now take the corner
08:50and his chanter's back in fashion
08:52Salah in
08:55Verbruggen
08:55can't get to it
08:562-0 Liverpool
09:01Liverpool
09:01Ekertike got to it
09:04barely a flicker
09:08from Arna Slott
09:09barely a smile
09:11from Ugo Ekertike
09:13the freest of free headers
09:19Liverpool
09:20Liverpool now have a position of control
09:26and I just wonder now
09:29whether the Seagulls have had their chips
09:31Minter
09:31Minter
09:32Van Hecker
09:42Van Hecker
09:42there's Vifa
09:45goal kick
09:46another wild finish from a Brighton player
09:49it's hard to shake the feeling
09:51that even if they've played another hour out there
09:54Brighton won't be scoring today
09:55goodness they've created
09:57they have had the chances
09:58Salah
10:05Robertson
10:09Chiesa
10:10Salah is
10:13charging into the box
10:14for Chiesa
10:15Chiesa finds him
10:17we won't get that particular headline
10:21Minter
10:29Minter's cross
10:36Salah
10:38is this it
10:40he's got Robertson with him
10:41he's got Van Dijk with him
10:42would you believe
10:43Salah
10:45oh
10:45should be the other way around
10:52somebody playing Salah
10:54into run free on goal
10:55Liverpool 2
10:56Brighton and Hove
10:57Albion 0
10:58for me the situation
10:59yesterday when I spoke to him
11:01and for him being today on the bench
11:03and coming in as the first substitution
11:05for me
11:05that means that it has settled down
11:07but
11:08yeah
11:09if the outside world
11:11wants to keep talking about it
11:12or
11:12there are other reasons why
11:14people should keep talking about it
11:15that's fine for me
11:16but
11:17like I said
11:18my conversation yesterday
11:19and the actions of today
11:21that I did
11:22and that he did
11:23for me
11:24that speaks for itself
11:25and now
11:26and now
11:26quiet Saturday evening
11:27and a free week
11:29what are you going to do
11:29yeah I would love to say train
11:31but if I just looked in the dressing room
11:34I wonder if we can play
11:36five
11:36five a side
11:37we deserve
11:38definitely more
11:39maybe even a win
11:41because we created so many chances
11:42we
11:43had a bad start in the game
11:44you reacted well
11:45but in the end it's about
11:46consistency
11:47doing it for 90 minutes
11:49not only
11:49for
11:50for some phases of the game
11:51and that's why we lost it
11:53when you play for Liverpool
11:55you just have to win games
11:56so
11:56hard to answer
11:58but
11:58when you see the games coming
12:01without Liverpool
12:02we need to win
12:03let's start with him
12:05we'll come on to Salah
12:06in a little while
12:07but he was their star man
12:09today
12:09well he's definitely doing
12:11something right
12:11because even Al's impressed
12:12no he's been a breath of fresh air
12:15he's been a shining light
12:16at the new signings
12:18you could argue
12:19he's been
12:20with Sir Bozlai
12:20probably Liverpool's best player
12:22this season
12:22in fact the whole team started well
12:24there was a great urgency
12:25about them
12:26Sir Bozlai doing what he does best
12:28setting the press
12:30Jones who was also outstanding
12:32trying to stop Belieba
12:34getting the ball
12:35and stop Brighton playing
12:36because we know
12:36that's how they like to play
12:37and it kind of suited Liverpool
12:38this is in the first minute of the game
12:40look at Kerkhez
12:41the urgency
12:42get the ball back in play
12:43let's try and get at them
12:44let's try and make a good start
12:45because they haven't done that
12:46very often at Anfield
12:47and then when the clearance comes out
12:50which is a poor one as we know
12:51be first to it
12:53win the header
12:53be brave
12:54and Gomez is
12:55and Eketike
12:56you know
12:56for your first chance in the game
12:58that is something
12:58it's a confident lad
13:00he plays free I think
13:02he seems to have
13:03complete belief in himself
13:05he'll take shots on
13:06from wherever
13:07yeah not leaning back
13:08a little bit there
13:09but just wanting to score goals
13:11and get himself in good positions
13:12and I think this is where
13:13he's really good as well
13:14and quite unique
13:15because when he goes deep
13:16he's got good technique
13:17and good vision
13:17and look he can run
13:19he's quick
13:19and he doesn't stop here
13:21and watch
13:22he just pulls out again
13:23waiting to create that little space
13:25and takes it early
13:26which I really like
13:27and he's only a foot or two
13:28away from getting his second there
13:30and I thought he grew
13:31in the second half
13:32and got even better
13:32he was getting more confident
13:34wanting to be the main man
13:36and make an impact
13:37on the game
13:38I mean this is terrific
13:39skill and power
13:40just fluffs the shot
13:41a little bit
13:42doesn't quite get the technique right
13:43but
13:44he deserved everything
13:46he got today
13:46his work rate was good
13:47off the ball
13:48you need that
13:49when you play for Liverpool
13:49again
13:50belief in himself
13:51to try
13:52and that's from outside the box
13:53and with his height
13:54and his presence
13:55he's going to get plenty of headers
13:56yeah it's poor defending
13:57but look at the leap
13:58got his just rewards today
14:00and as I said before
14:01he's been
14:03the fans have taken to him
14:05he's been sensational
14:06and look
14:06these two are going to be compared
14:08because they signed
14:09in the same transfer window
14:11but
14:11not only are
14:13his goals
14:14a huge reward
14:16for Liverpool
14:16but he's also more involved
14:19the numbers show
14:19that he's more involved
14:20in everything that they're doing
14:22well they're different types of players
14:23but ultimately
14:24as a centre forward
14:25you want to be
14:26you want to impact in games
14:28scoring goals
14:28making goals
14:29and causing the other team problems
14:31and he's doing that
14:32on all these different
14:33you look at the goals there
14:34and even winning the ball back as well
14:36which for Liverpool
14:37is super important
14:38that press
14:38he deserves all the credit
14:40he's given
14:40what do you like about it?
14:41seven goals
14:42and ten starts
14:43there's a
14:45there's a rawness about him
14:46definitely
14:47but I love his attitude
14:48I love how keen he is
14:50and I love
14:51that
14:51how he's taken to life
14:53at Anfield
14:55at Liverpool
14:56that has been a really difficult
14:57season
14:58and there's no doubt
14:58he's the one that's
14:59that's stood out
15:00and I think he plays
15:01with the freedom
15:02and he's going to give
15:03he's going to give
15:03plenty of defenders
15:04tough times
15:05because
15:05he's strong
15:07and he's quick
15:08and clearly he can finish
15:09in amongst all the noise
15:11about Mo Salah
15:12what he actually did today
15:13was
15:14break the Premier League record
15:16for most goals
15:16and assists for a single club
15:18that's Premier League only
15:19what did you see on the pitch
15:21before we come to the off the pitch?
15:22with Salah
15:24I thought he did well
15:27when he came on
15:28I guess it was a bit earlier
15:30than he thought it would be
15:3226 minutes he came on
15:34but I thought he worked really hard
15:36I thought he was involved
15:37you couldn't question
15:38his attitude at all
15:40he had one or two opportunities
15:42that he perhaps might have scored
15:43on another day
15:44but that ball should have
15:46came into him there
15:47with a better ball
15:47and he still gets his shot away
15:49decent save from the keeper
15:51you wouldn't expect him to
15:52to beat the keeper
15:53from that angle
15:54but as I said
15:55he was quick
15:56he got into really good positions
15:57this is the big chance
15:58that he had
15:59good work from Chiesa
16:01he put it really on a plate
16:02for him
16:03and you'd expect him
16:03to score there
16:05and right at the end
16:06this is fantastic
16:07look at the two players
16:08who are getting up
16:09to support him
16:10Robertson and Van Dijk
16:12it's an awful pass
16:13that I think
16:14it's meant to be
16:14if you're a centre-half
16:15you don't want that idea
16:16you have to
16:16but I think
16:20I think what is also noticeable
16:23I don't think it is
16:25going to go away
16:25as much as Arna Slott
16:26and Liverpool
16:27would want it to
16:28because after the game
16:29on Tuesday
16:30I think Arna was quoted
16:31saying well
16:32is he going to say sorry
16:33and it was noticeable today
16:34that in his interview afterwards
16:36he didn't actually say
16:37but he said they had a meeting
16:38didn't he
16:38he said they had a meeting
16:39so he's back
16:41and it's settled down
16:42so that
16:43that for you
16:44doesn't draw a line
16:45it's also settled down
16:46because he's away now
16:47for the AFCON as well
16:49so it will
16:50quieten down
16:51but the
16:52the quicker that comes
16:53to an end
16:54then the questions
16:55will start again
16:56does it draw a line
16:56under it for you?
16:58no
16:58I agree with Al
16:59I think that short-term
17:00resolution was a surprise
17:01to everyone
17:01but it makes sense
17:02the more you think about it
17:03because the club's
17:04the most important
17:05and now it's going to
17:06stop for a while
17:06ok
17:07it was top against bottom
17:09at the Emirates
17:10Arsenal face the Wolves side
17:11already 13 points
17:13from safety
17:13with head coach
17:14Rob Edwards
17:15warning of more pain
17:17to come
17:17blimey
17:18Merry Christmas
17:18Wolves fans
17:19your commentator
17:20Jonathan Pearce
17:21top at home
17:24and in Europe
17:25at Christmas
17:26that has to be
17:27Arsenal's immediate target
17:28Wolves objective
17:29to avoid unwanted
17:31club records
17:31and a ninth league
17:32defeat in a row
17:33and a 20th top flight game
17:35without a victory
17:35would bring
17:36Saliba returns
17:38for Arsenal
17:38not having missed
17:39four games
17:39with an ankle injury
17:40four other changes
17:42from the Champions League
17:43win at Bruges
17:43Timber also fit to return
17:45Rice recover from illness
17:47Eze and Jokker
17:48has picked again
17:49they've won their last
17:50eight league games
17:51against Wolves
17:52for the visitors
17:53Chao Gomez
17:54returns from suspension
17:55Wang Hee Chan
17:56replaces Bell Guard
17:57who was injured
17:58in the home defeat
17:58by Manchester United
17:59and with other change
18:01Matt Doherty
18:01starts for the first time
18:03since October
18:04they've won just one
18:05of their last
18:0614 away games
18:07at Arsenal
18:08good atmosphere
18:12in the ground
18:12Arsenal have won
18:14their last seven
18:15at the Emirates
18:16against teams
18:16starting the day
18:17in the bottom three
18:18and Saka
18:20looks like it's only
18:21going to be a matter
18:22of time
18:22to be honest
18:23and it was very nearly
18:26there
18:26the opening goal
18:26Timber up from the back
18:28coming away from goal
18:30awkward that
18:31Wolves are to get
18:34to 35-36 points
18:36which I must think
18:38will be the safety
18:39mark this season
18:40they need roughly
18:41one and a half
18:42points a game
18:43it's not going to
18:44happen is it
18:44Ben White now

18:47isolated with Totti
18:48drawn out from the
18:49middle
18:49Totti showing the
18:53outside and Saka's
18:54gone beyond
18:55in comes across
18:56it's well dealt with
18:57in the middle
18:57by Andre
18:58good positional sense
19:01it's just going to
19:04take this throw
19:05long
19:0526 minutes gone
19:06out of the Emirates
19:08Saliba comes to the
19:13near post
19:14Incapier was behind
19:16him
19:16Zubomendi back
19:17into the middle
19:18it's an important
19:19header away by
19:20Moskera and look
19:20at this now
19:21on the counter
19:22Wang Yi Chan
19:23has he got the
19:24pace to get away
19:24and finish
19:25he's certainly got
19:26the pace
19:26but Raya make sure
19:28he doesn't finish
19:28and that's the
19:31Wolves game
19:32plan
19:32encapsulated
19:33defends stoutly
19:35don't give Arsenal
19:37a chance
19:37if you can help
19:38it
19:38and then break
19:39and it was nearly
19:41a decisive
19:42counter attack
19:43now watch Ben
19:44White here
19:45as he's trying
19:45to chase back
19:46Wang's away
19:48he can't get the
19:49shot beyond the
19:50goalkeeper
19:51but Ben White
19:51pulled up for
19:52Arsenal there
19:53here's Louis Skelly
19:55to Saka
19:56Kray
19:57shoot goes up
19:59from around the
20:00ground
20:00David Raya
20:02five yards
20:04inside the
20:04opposition half
20:05in a hurry
20:06Incapier
20:07dangerous ball
20:08in
20:08touched on
20:08I think
20:09by a Wolves
20:11player
20:11that's a corner
20:12came off
20:13Andre
20:13decent ball
20:15in that
20:16just got in
20:17front of
20:17Saliba
20:18in comes that
20:24corner
20:24so dangerous
20:25Martinelli
20:25might have
20:27seen it late
20:28I can't quite
20:29believe how
20:29that's not
20:29ended up
20:30in the back
20:30of the net
20:31yeah he saw it
20:33like plucky
20:34from Wolves
20:35not good enough
20:35for Arsenal
20:36so far
20:36here's
20:40Saliba
20:41Martinelli
20:51you can see
20:52Trossard
20:53waited to come on
20:54he knows time
20:55is short
20:55he's taken on
20:56Docherty
20:56he's left him
20:57behind
20:58too much power
21:00in the cross
21:01Jokoros
21:02waiting at the
21:03far post
21:03because I think
21:04Martinelli
21:04goes for goal

21:05he's opened
21:07his body up
21:08to try and

23:44is
23:45finally
23:45broken
23:45one of all the ways to break the deadlock
23:49I don't think many people could have seen that coming
23:53sweeps in
23:56it comes off the back of Sam Johnson
23:58and unfortunate for the Wolves goalkeeper
24:02it will be an own goal against his neck
24:06Saka's offside here in the lead up to the corner for the goal
24:12it's a corner kick but of course it didn't
24:15it didn't result in a goal initially so
24:17there can be no VAR intervention
24:19Saka's offside with the cross
24:25to Jokeres
24:26took it really well on the half
24:27turn
24:28does superbly
24:29does superbly
24:31that's really terrific centre forward play
24:33and he deserved better
24:34good control
24:36strength
24:37rolled his man
24:38got the shot off
24:40Chatua
24:42switches to his left
24:43it's not a bad ball in
24:45still not yet away

24:54now Mateus Manu
24:56the young man
24:57it's in
24:58Wolves have equalised
25:01what a moment for them
25:03heads in hands from Arsenal fans
25:09they've given this one away
25:10they went deeper and deeper
25:16got more and more anxious
25:17couldn't get a boot on the ball
25:19Arsenal
25:19it's a lovely ball back in by Marno
25:26the Rokadari deflects it in
25:29it's only his third goal since joining the club
25:33and it's one of the biggest he'll score in his career
25:361-1
25:37Rice
25:43Arsenal fans
25:47frustrated
25:48they want their team to get on with it
25:50Saka gets the cross in
25:52it's in
25:53it may even go down as another own goal this
25:58it may well have come off Mosquera
26:04Jesus with the run
26:10oh it's come off Mosquera
26:13it's an own goal
26:15well
26:16what an end to the game
26:18certainly couldn't see this happening
26:20Arsenal 2
26:22Wolverhampton Wanderer as well
26:24how's your luck?
26:31it's not great is it Jonathan at the moment
26:33the lads gave everything tonight
26:36we're flat that we lost
26:38at the bottom line we lost another game of football
26:39after scoring the goal we had a period of two minutes
26:42that we went deep suddenly
26:44and it's very passive
26:45we had to cross the ball and conceded a very poor goal
26:48and at the end we pushed
26:49we found a way to score the goal
26:51with the connection between Gabby and Bukayo
26:55and obviously delighted because at the end that's what we wanted
26:57the plan did work
26:58the lads carried it out really well
27:00you know we were very disciplined
27:01we obviously can't open up here
27:03you know it'd be asking for trouble
27:04so we were a lot more compact than we were on Monday
27:06different game different opposition
27:08it was the right way to go
27:09lads worked hard on it
27:10they believed in it
27:11and we had to wait for our moments
27:14and to show the courage to get back in it
27:17after going 1-0 down
27:17we started pushing
27:18we pressed
27:19we made changes
27:19got back into it
27:21but then
27:22the stuff I was speaking about before again
27:24this is why we are where we are
27:26we've got to value stopping the cross
27:27we've got to defend the goal
27:28and we're not doing that well enough
27:31we're not
27:32it's hard not to feel for him
27:35and football can be cruel or joyous
27:37depending on which side of the coin you're on
27:38and in fact
27:39up until the last five minutes of that game
27:41it was going last
27:42so what do you make of Arsenal's performance
27:48well first of all I have to say how brilliant Wolves were
27:51and how hard and difficult
27:53and they frustrated Arsenal for long periods of the game
27:57and Arsenal didn't play well at all
27:58there was a nervousness about it
28:00they were edgy
28:01but ultimately
28:03what they did
28:05I thought really well Arsenal
28:06was what they've done really well in games this season also
28:09is crosses
28:10that was the one constant in the game today
28:13that particularly down the right hand side
28:15with this guy
28:16and what is impressive also
28:18is how many numbers they actually get in the box
28:21you've got Tim up there
28:23that ball goes in there
28:24he comes inside
28:25left foot
28:26very good cross
28:261v1
28:28on the right hand side
28:31he goes again
28:32you know what he can do
28:34very difficult to mark
28:35he goes on the outside this time
28:37but the same thing again
28:38you've got bodies in the box
28:39this time it's rice
28:40that's getting on the end of it
28:42but constantly
28:43they're putting balls into the box
28:45and asking questions
28:47of the defence
28:48and I don't care who you're playing against
28:50it's tough to do
28:51that's it
28:52that's an unbelievable cross
28:53and deserve to be in the back of the net
28:55but he kept on doing it
28:5730 crosses they got in the box today
28:59second in games that is
29:0232 they had against Manchester City
29:04and there's no doubt that I'm seeing
29:06that more crosses
29:07not only from Arsenal
29:09but from teams
29:10that are coming into the box
29:11last season
29:11and in particular this season
29:13and ultimately
29:14when you keep on putting balls into the box
29:16that's what's won them the game today
29:18whether they've played well or not
29:19you can discuss who was good
29:21who was not
29:21but that was the impressive thing about them
29:24is how many times
29:25they kept going into those positions
29:27and getting them in there
29:28and still people
29:29trying to get on the end of it
29:30look
29:31it was another set piece
29:32that broke the deadlock here
29:34and there's a bit of noise
29:36as well
29:36about Saka
29:37and offside
29:38in the build-ups
29:39which we will clear up
29:40in a minute
29:40yeah here it is
29:42I mean you can tell
29:42he's in an offside position
29:43there from
29:44you know
29:45the first look
29:46and most of us
29:46watching it think
29:47oh he could be offside
29:48and then
29:48when it actually goes
29:50he clears it out for corner
29:51we'll go through the rules
29:52I mean it's not offside
29:53they get the corner
29:54we know how good they are
29:55it's actually not
29:56his best ball in the world
29:57keeper should deal with it
29:59and he doesn't
30:00but the amount of pressure
30:01they constantly put on goalkeepers
30:03time and time again
30:04it's no wonder they make mistakes
30:05but he'll be disappointed with that
30:07and they get the look as well
30:08bounces off the post
30:09on the back of him
30:10and that's where we thought
30:12the game was done
30:12okay
30:13so here's the reason
30:15why
30:15and we've checked
30:16with PJOMOL here
30:17why he wouldn't have been
30:18given offside here
30:19because Bakayo Saka
30:20didn't do any of these
30:22four things
30:22he didn't affect
30:24his opponent's line of vision
30:25he didn't challenge
30:26the opponent
30:27for the ball
30:27he didn't attempt
30:29to play the ball
30:30he just dropped off
30:31didn't he
30:32and he didn't do anything
30:33that impacted
30:35the ability
30:36of the opponent
30:37to play the ball
30:38so when you look at it
30:39like there
30:40in black and white
30:41that is why he wasn't
30:42given offside
30:43yeah
30:43and you have to accept
30:45that decision
30:45you know
30:46that's something we've seen
30:47now for a long time
30:47obviously if he'd have
30:48gone in and scored
30:49he'd have been off
30:51so yeah
30:51right decision
30:52well done

33:04who are right
33:05behind that
33:07advertising hoarding
33:08rather enjoyed
33:09that miscontrol
33:10Dewsbury Hall
33:12here
33:12well this could
33:15potentially be a
33:16real problem
33:16for Everton
33:17Dewsbury Hall
33:18has in many ways
33:19been the pick
33:19of their bunch
33:20this season
33:20and this doesn't
33:22look good
33:22so that's it
33:25for Dewsbury Hall
33:26didn't last long
33:27and he's getting
33:28a warm ovation
33:29from the supporters
33:30of both clubs
33:31which is nice
33:32Carlos Alcaraz
33:33is coming on
33:34that's a good
33:42ball
33:421-0
33:44Cole Palmer
33:45back in the
33:50groove
33:50Cole Palmer
33:51well that's
33:54the kind of
33:55football you
33:56expect from
33:57Chelsea
33:57that's the
33:59kind of football
33:59and finish you
34:01expect from
34:01Cole Palmer
34:02makes such a
34:04good run there
34:04is beautifully
34:06found
34:07and the outcome
34:09was really
34:10never in doubt
34:11Gusto's pass
34:13and to see
34:15Cole Palmer
34:16doing that again
34:17is very good
34:18news for the
34:19shed end of
34:20Stamford Bridge
34:21that's a good
34:27turn
34:27Garnaccio
34:31and that's
34:34just over the
34:34angle of
34:35Post and
34:35Bar
34:35Pickford
34:37is not
34:38happy
34:38with those
34:39in front
34:40of him
34:40O'Brien
34:41at least
34:42did enough
34:42to make
34:43the angle
34:43a bit
34:43more difficult
34:44Everton
34:49had looked
34:50pretty comfortable
34:50for 20
34:51minutes
34:51and that's
34:54not a great
34:55ball
34:55and Garnaccio
34:56is there
34:57and he's
34:58missed it
34:59well
35:01Alcaraz
35:02has his
35:03hand raised
35:04in apology
35:05as well
35:06he might
35:06can't really
35:08believe
35:08Garnaccio's
35:09missed that
35:09Chelsea
35:11haven't won
35:12in a game
35:13in which
35:13Cole Palmer

39:25disappointing
39:25result
39:26but it
39:26certainly
39:26wasn't a
39:27disappointing
39:27performance
39:28we've done
39:29a lot of
39:29really good
39:29things
39:30today

39:35some very
39:35good results
39:36away from
39:36home

39:52I'll get
39:52there soon
39:53we're very
39:54used now
39:54to seeing
39:55fullbacks
39:55play in
39:56inverted
39:57midfield
39:57positions
39:57Pep
39:58started doing
39:59that a long
39:59time ago
39:59never
39:59we'd
40:00taught her
40:00no
40:01exactly
40:01you've got
40:02Rhys James
40:02and Malo
40:03Gusto
40:03in there
40:03yeah
40:04no they
40:04are both
40:05good players
40:05and when
40:06they are
40:06good players
40:06for me
40:07they can
40:07play in
40:07any
40:07position
40:08and he
40:09took his
40:09goal very
40:09well as
40:10well didn't
40:10he
40:10yeah
40:11yeah
40:11he took
40:11the chance
40:12the assist
40:12for called
40:14the first
40:14goal
40:14so very
40:15happy for
40:16Malo
40:16well he was
40:18smiling with
40:18Steve there
40:19but then
40:20Mareska went
40:21into his press
40:22conference
40:22and said
40:23this
40:24the last
40:2648 hours
40:27has been
40:27the worst
40:2848 hours
40:29since I
40:31joined the
40:31club
40:32because many
40:33people didn't
40:34support us
40:35what do you
40:36mean in terms
40:36of the
40:36not people
40:37supporting you
40:38in the last
40:3848 hours
40:39worst 48
40:43hours since
40:44I joined the
40:44club
40:44because people
40:45didn't support
40:46me and the
40:48team
40:48in general
40:50in general
40:51Peter
40:52I love the
40:56fans and we
40:56are very happy
40:57with the
40:57fans
40:58well we'll
41:00get on to
41:00that
41:01excuse me
41:02in just a
41:03moment
41:03all emotional
41:06what
41:08wanted you
41:09it was a
41:09big win for
41:10Chelsea
41:10it was a
41:11huge win
41:12after recent
41:13results
41:13not one in
41:15three
41:15a little bit
41:16of discontent
41:17around for some
41:18reason because I
41:19think there's lots
41:19of positives for
41:20Chelsea at the
41:21moment and there
41:21has been a few
41:22hiccups but
41:22yeah a bit a
41:24big result and
41:25the the star of
41:26the show was
41:27probably not
41:27someone we'd
41:28have predicted
41:28in Gusto
41:29what an amazing
41:30performance now
41:31we've seen him
41:31play occasionally
41:33midfield normally
41:35a right back and
41:35then drifting into
41:36these positions I
41:37mean this is a
41:38wonderful pass
41:39Palmer dictating
41:40where he wants
41:41great to see him
41:42back for anybody
41:42that loves watching
41:43football and it's
41:44perfect pace good
41:47vision we've
41:48talked about
41:48Rhys James many
41:49times and how
41:50wonderful he is in
41:51terms of his
41:52technical ability
41:52and passing range
41:53but Gusto's got a
41:54lot of that too
41:55they're actually
41:55blessed with two
41:56players who can
41:57both play right
41:58back and both
41:59play midfield I
41:59mean he's hitting
42:00diagonals with his
42:00left foot there
42:01from the middle of
42:01the pitch incredible
42:03array of passes he's
42:05capable of and then
42:07of course when he is
42:08in his more
42:08orthodox fullback
42:09position he's willing
42:11to get forward with
42:12the ball travel with
42:13the ball and then
42:14more importantly not
42:15admire his passing
42:16get into dangerous
42:17areas we see him in
42:18dangerous areas very
42:20often every time we
42:21watch Chelsea play
42:22and again talk
42:22about weak foot
42:23finish terrific so
42:26he's got a bit of a
42:27problem really the
42:27manager in James and
42:29him do they swap or
42:29do they just let them
42:30freely swap when they
42:32play and work it out
42:33which is fine from two
42:35intelligent players
42:35getting in front of
42:36Grealish there and
42:37again making the right
42:38pass releasing
42:39João Pedro to nearly
42:41get them another goal
42:42so yeah that's great
42:43options to have isn't
42:44great options very
42:45good and the great
42:46thing as well is he
42:47can defend one on one
42:48he's decent with his
42:49defensive work
42:49so he then goes into
42:52that press conference
42:53Morescu so he says
42:54at last 48 hours many
42:56people don't support us
42:57he was pushed about
42:58whether he meant the
42:59fans he said no I don't
43:00have a problem with the
43:00fans they mentioned the
43:01media can't believe he's
43:02really that bothered what
43:04the media say or don't say
43:05about him that has to be
43:06directed internally
43:07doesn't it he wants us
43:09and others to talk about
43:10that we wouldn't have
43:11mentioned this at all if
43:12he hadn't it wouldn't
43:13have even it wouldn't
43:13have even crossed our
43:14radar there's no doubt
43:15about that he he's
43:17directing that at the
43:18board of the owners and
43:20I my guess is is that he
43:22doesn't feel as if he's
43:23getting the protection
43:24after a defeat like they
43:26had in in midweek and
43:28obviously that hurts him
43:29but Chelsea's a very
43:30different football club
43:31now to what it was 20
43:33to 15 years ago in terms
43:35of who they buy the
43:36players they want to
43:37develop young players
43:38and it is difficult to
43:40compete with the very
43:42best when you're doing
43:43that because it does
43:43take time to to bed
43:45younger players in and
43:47develop them but on the
43:50in the big picture with
43:51Chelsea I think he's
43:53doing a good job well
43:54the bit the big pitch
43:55where you look at what
43:56the points are that they
43:57have gained under him
43:58you know he bet that's
44:0113 behind Liverpool you
44:03know the only Liverpool
44:04Arsenal Manchester City
44:05ahead of them do you
44:06think he's saying well
44:07you know bearing in mind
44:08what this business model
44:09is young players and we
44:11sign them on long-term
44:11contracts but maybe
44:12slightly lower wages and
44:14then we try and sell them
44:15on for a profit some of
44:16them what more do you
44:17expect me to do do you
44:18think that's what he's
44:19saying yeah I do more or
44:20less and I agree with that
44:21but he's got to be careful
44:23I think you have to realise the
44:26owners you're working for and
44:28the club you're working for he's
44:29been he's been given an amazing
44:31opportunity to manage a massive
44:32football club after only managing
44:34Leicester so did he did he expect
44:38to gain control because he won the
44:41conference league you know let's put
44:42it in perspective he's got to be
44:43careful he starts talking he also won
44:45the Club World Cup and and well
44:47yeah but yeah you can you can pull
44:49that face but they they beat
44:51Paris Saint-Germain in the final and
44:53it's a tournament that they value
44:56he's done well there's no doubt I'm
44:58not doubting he hasn't done well
44:59what I'm saying is that football is
45:01ruthless and these are these are
45:03multi-billionaire owners and if they
45:05feel that their manager's talking
45:07directly to them through the press
45:08it's not going to end well for him
45:10he's got a wonderful opportunity to
45:11have success with Chelsea maybe just
45:13pick your moments to be quiet okay
45:17that works it's TV the big thing is as
45:22we said if he hadn't have gone into
45:24his press conference and brought this
45:26up none of this would have been
45:27mentioned so he clearly wants do you
45:29think he gets the least credit out of
45:30that you know we showed that list
45:32there so so Arteta and slot and
45:34Guardiola and even Emery and how do
45:37you think he gets less credit than
45:39those I think Danny's right in what he
45:40says in terms of he's come from
45:42Leicester and now he's at Chelsea
45:44so yeah I think so yeah I don't see an
45:46issue with that okay now match the day
45:49didn't exist the last time Fulham won
45:51at Burnley 1951 Bob Thomas scored twice
45:56Steve Bowers at Turfman
45:5774 years since their last success here
46:03and just four away points all season
46:06for Fulham who will sense an
46:08opportunity to move further away from
46:10the teams below them Burnley are one of
46:13them as Scott Parker faces the club he
46:15served both as a player and a manager
46:17he's without both Kyle Walker and Lucas
46:19Perez through suspension so Twanzaby and
46:22Hartman come in top scorer Fleming is on
46:25the bench Fulham make just one change as
46:28they welcome back Anthony Robinson into
46:30the Premier League fold for the first
46:32time since late September
46:33Castagne is a substitute Smith Rowe makes
46:37his 50th Premier League appearance for the
46:39club
46:39forward from Anderson Iwobi trying to
46:46flick that into the path of Chuck
46:47Wazic Jimenez is on to the second ball
46:50Robinson's cross off Foster for the first
46:53corner of the game for Fulham
46:55more positive from the visitors
46:58Burnley have everybody back Harry Wilson to
47:04deliver went for the one at the near post
47:06and it found its way through of Emile
47:10Smith Rowe and inside nine minutes
47:14Fulham are in front I think it was
47:17Hartman at the near post who should have
47:19dealt with this oh it is it's awful from
47:23Hartman Burnley will be bitterly
47:26disappointed with the way they've conceded
47:28that opening goal Smith Rowe ran unopposed
47:31into the six-yard box only Arsenal have
47:36now scored more goals from corners this
47:38season than Fulham
47:39is there an instant reaction from the home
47:44team there might be
47:46you got Chuck were denied
47:49plant Laino was alive to the situation
47:55here as the Uga Chuck who was in his own
47:59bit of space
48:00and he managed Fulham 105 times he played
48:06for them 128 times but no affiliation for
48:10the next 90 minutes
48:11from last
48:15Cullen has options
48:20Uga Chuck who is one
48:21and Burnley are level
48:24his third goal of the season
48:29lovely move
48:32and a much needed equaliser
48:35excellent first touch and the second one
48:39nice and cool into the back of the net
48:42just the 16th goal Burnley have scored all season
48:45it's a most welcome one
48:47to get them back level
48:50inside 22 minutes
48:52Burnley one
48:53Fulham one
48:54his frustration
48:57is clear when he sees that equaliser back
49:01well Smith Rowe might get to that
49:04he did
49:05and Esteve had to put it behind
49:07well in fairness when Bassey played that ball
49:10Smith Rowe looked second favourite
49:13Ekdal slightly misjudged this
49:15credit Smith Rowe
49:17floated in by Wilson
49:22out as far as Robinson
49:26that's aimed back towards Harry Wilson
49:28lovely take
49:29on his set up beautifully
49:32and Calvin Bassey couldn't miss
49:36and Burnley again
49:38have gifted another goal
49:42Bassey's third Premier League strike for Fulham
49:46I mean it's a lovely take here from Harry Wilson
49:50but watch Bassey
49:52totally unopposed
49:55and there are five Burnley players
49:58inside the six yard box
50:00when this cross comes in
50:02and none of them
50:03close enough
50:04to the eventual goal scorer
50:07Burnley one
50:08Fulham two
50:10Valentino
50:13to pick out
50:15to pick out Breuer
50:15well Joaquin Madderson knows what's coming next
50:19and he took one for the team
50:25nothing subtle about that
50:28first yellow card of the game
50:30brilliant from Laino
50:39brilliant from Laino
50:39who got Chukwu on the follow-up
50:41well Fulham were almost caught cold there
50:45Berger at the other end
50:47Berger at the other end into Wilson
50:48Hartman's chasing him
50:50Harry Wilson
50:51Hartman did well
50:52and Burnley survived
50:55really quick thinking
50:58Breuer onside
51:00Laino did fantastically well
51:02as did Bassey
51:03to block the follow-up shot
51:04from Uga Chukwu
51:05and here Hartman
51:08did just enough there
51:09right at the end
51:10to block that effort
51:13from Harry Wilson
51:14the chairman
51:18and manager
51:20hoping to avoid
51:22an unwanted
51:23record today
51:24if Burnley lose again
51:26seven
51:27top flight league defeats
51:29in a row
51:29with their worst run
51:31for 130 years
51:32oh Smith-Rowe
51:35is saved by Laino
51:38because Bryn Larson
51:39was denied
51:42and Emil Smith-Rowe
51:44will be the most relieved man
51:46inside Turf Moor
51:49Bryn Larson unable to profit
51:56as Burnley for the second time today
52:00search for an equaliser
52:01Twan Zebi looking for Cullen
52:03Burnley
52:06managed to use that well Burnley
52:08Michael Oliver unmoved
52:13as Armando Breuer
52:16was challenged by Bassey
52:18and it's the same player
52:21that goes on
52:21at the other end here
52:22for Fulham
52:23he's got a man unmarked
52:25at Chivuese
52:26well that was extraordinary
52:30at both ends
52:31because Calvin Bassey
52:32made a talent
52:34that is still being checked
52:35by Tony Harrington here
52:37in VAR
52:38on Armando Breuer
52:41that's been checked
52:43and cleared
52:44well what was Emil Smith-Rowe
52:47thinking here
52:47but credit again
52:49to Bert Laino
52:50so quickly off his line
52:52he was right on top
52:53of Bryn Larson
52:54next goal in this game
52:58is absolutely huge
52:59Berger
53:01and again
53:03that left-hand side
53:05looks particularly potent
53:06here for Fulham
53:07Chukwase with Robinson
53:08on the overlap
53:09Chukwase instead
53:11trying to find
53:11Harry Wilson
53:12clinical
53:17from the Welsh International
53:19the top scorer
53:20with another
53:21four in seven games
53:23for him
53:23but watch Robinson
53:25supporting Chukwase
53:27he made the decoy run
53:29and then Chukwase
53:31had seen Wilson
53:32and that's a finish
53:34of a man
53:35full of confidence
53:36guided that
53:38into the bottom corner
53:39that's a huge challenge
53:41for Burnley
53:43to come back
53:43from here
53:44Smith-Rowe
53:47out to Robinson
53:49Chukwase on the move
53:50he stayed on side
53:51Chukwase's pulled back
53:53Wilson nipped in
53:56Robinson
53:56well in his 140th
54:01Premier League game
54:02he's never scored
54:03a Premier League goal
54:04and a touch more
54:07composure there
54:08and that might have
54:09been it
54:10Trezor
54:14now Anthony
54:18Bassey got an
54:21important touch
54:22and so too
54:24did Oliver Son
54:26lovely take on the
54:31chest
54:31and a very cool
54:33side-footed finish
54:34from the Peru
54:35international
54:36and the substitute
54:38has reduced it
54:40to 3-2
54:41fabulous control
54:43and the
54:44caution finish
54:45Leno didn't move
54:47your goal in the end
54:50has been the difference
54:51I mean this run
54:52you're on at the moment
54:52that's four in seven
54:53games
54:54assists galore as well
54:56another two today
54:56you must be delighted
54:57with that
54:58yeah I feel really good
54:59at the minute
54:59like you said
55:00as an attacking player
55:00it's always good
55:01when your numbers are
55:02good and yeah
55:03it's nice to get a
55:04couple of assists
55:04today especially
55:05the first one
55:05because that's
55:06something we've
55:06worked on this week
55:07and when you see
55:09the work that you're
55:09putting on the
55:09training ground
55:10coming up on a
55:10Saturday
55:11it's a great feeling
55:12Marco well done
55:13how big a win is that
55:14away from home
55:15for you today
55:15yes big one
55:17big one
55:17difficult place to
55:19come
55:20big win for us
55:21yesterday when I was
55:22questioned by
55:2375 years without a
55:25win here
55:25I have to say
55:26with massive respect
55:27of course with
55:28Burnley and all that
55:28stuff
55:29we spoke about it
55:30it has to be tonight
55:31that we have to break
55:32that record
55:32we did it
55:33that's hope our
55:34fans they go home
55:34and we just smile
55:36in their face that
55:36they deserve
55:37and of course
55:37congratulations to the
55:38players
55:38I've stood in front of
55:39you guys for the
55:41first 16 or 15 games
55:42or whatever it's been
55:43saying the same message
55:44really so in this
55:46division you can't
55:48afford to give up
55:49goals like we're
55:49giving up goals
55:50we were hugely
55:51competitive today
55:52I thought we had
55:53real quality about us
55:54we have numerous
55:55chances but you give
55:57yourself an absolute
55:58mountain to climb
55:59anyone watching our
56:00game today for the
56:01first time you could
56:02watch back the first
56:0415 odd games and it
56:05would be the same
56:05cycle really and we
56:07need to we need to
56:08fix that mate for
56:09sure
56:09they do don't they
56:11I mean they were so
56:12defensively strong in
56:13the championship last
56:14season but Fulham
56:15really exploited their
56:16problems this season
56:18yeah Fulham and in
56:19particular Harry Wilson
56:19I thought was brilliant
56:20played a major part in
56:22what Fulham did today
56:23but I mean honestly
56:25this defending here is
56:26amateurish and that's
56:27being polite I mean
56:28you look at Ekdahl
56:30Hartman and Foster
56:31look at the mistakes
56:33that they're doing
56:33Smithrow is originally
56:35there and Ekdahl's
56:36meant to be picking
56:37him up
56:38Foster's meant to be
56:39at the near post
56:40doing his job as is
56:41Hartman that ball
56:42cannot get past them
56:44there but look at
56:45Ekdahl I mean he
56:46doesn't even stop him
56:47at all look he just
56:48like runs past him
56:49no blocking no effort
56:51to get near him
56:52Tete then nudges
56:54Foster off the ball
56:55this is so easy
56:56Hartman doesn't clear
56:57it that's his job at
56:58the near post I mean
56:59there's so many errors
57:01there it must be
57:01driving Scott
57:02absolutely crazy
57:04just look at it here
57:05where Smithrow is
57:07and Ekdahl have a look
57:09at his lack of effort
57:10to stop him
57:10watch him
57:11seriously is that the
57:13best that you can give
57:14or do as a professional
57:16when you're meant to be
57:17staying with your player
57:18and that's why they're
57:19conceding goals
57:20because it doesn't
57:21really matter enough
57:22and then all of a sudden
57:24it's criticised them
57:25again on here
57:27two in Xabi
57:28he can see where
57:30Bassie is there
57:31behind him
57:31he knows where he is
57:32he doesn't even jump
57:33and he just shoves him
57:35off the ball
57:35because Bassie wants it
57:37more than he does
57:38look at that
57:39get off
57:39you're not having that
57:40ball
57:41and that's the reason
57:43they're conceding the
57:43goals
57:44and again you have a
57:45look at the players
57:47here
57:47is there enough effort
57:49to get back to here
57:50I'm not quite sure
57:52there is
57:53I thought you were
57:53waiting for one of us
57:54to answer that
57:55the answer is not
57:58because it's free there
57:59and there's not enough
58:00effort to try and track
58:01Harry Wilson at all
58:02that is a great finish
58:04and he played a huge
58:05part in that
58:06and he's brilliant
58:06to do Harry Wilson
58:07but the defending
58:08from Burnley
58:09it sounds goodness me
58:10dreadful
58:11they do have a lot
58:12they do have a lot
58:13of attacking options
58:14out of Fulham
58:15don't they
58:15I mean they're terrible
58:16numbers for Burnley
58:17but Fulham do have
58:18attacking options
58:19they do but they've
58:20actually not converted
58:21a lot of the chances
58:21they've made recently
58:22Jimenez hasn't scored
58:24many and Munoz
58:26is injured of course
58:27the key for Fulham
58:28now moving forward
58:28is to try and get
58:29Marco Silva tied down
58:30and that's going to be
58:32you know we'll have to
58:33wait and see on that
58:34probably till January
58:34and they've never signed
58:36a midfielder from
58:37Liverpool who's made
58:38such an impact
58:38as Harry Wilson
58:40has
58:40Arsenal made hard
58:42I've got to move on
58:43Danny Shush
58:44let's show you the
58:44league table
58:45Arsenal made hard
58:46work of it
58:46but they're five points
58:47clear after their win
58:48over Wolves
58:49Chelsea have moved
58:49back into the top
58:50four Liverpool
58:51now up to sixth
58:52Everton and Brighton
58:53drop to eighth
58:54and ninth respectively
58:55Wolves remain
58:56eight points adrift
58:57at the foot of the table
58:59Burnley also lost
59:00so they're still
59:00five from safety
59:02Fulham's win
59:03has moved them
59:03towards mid-table
59:04security
59:05that's it
59:07thanks to Danny
59:07and Alan
59:08won't be any
59:08consolation to Wolves fans
59:10but the fact that
59:10the winner went down
59:11as an own goal
59:12has saved us
59:13from a terrible
