00:00Welcome to Match of the Dead.
00:30Evening, it's the last match of the day before Christmas and just the one game for you tonight as Aston Villa take on Manchester United.
00:51256 goals between these two for United. How many did you get, Dion?
00:56Just the three.
00:57Just the three.
00:57Villa are on the longest winning streak in the Premier League, but they've only won once in 26 years at home against United.
01:06Robin Cowan was at Villa Park.
01:09A chance for Aston Villa to lay the meetings of Manchester United pass to rest and continue their transformation into true title contenders.
01:18It's six Premier League wins in a row for Unai Emery's side.
01:20The last time they've recorded seven consecutive victories was in the 89-90 season under Graham Taylor.
01:27The only change from the win over West Ham comes in goal.
01:30Emi Martinez returns for a back injury.
01:32Viktor Lindelof makes his 200th Premier League appearance.
01:35194 of them came for Manchester United, who he left for Villa in the summer.
01:40Morgan Rodgers has led the revival after their poor start to the season.
01:44He's been involved in eight goals in his last 11 league games.
01:47Manchester United are forced into three changes.
01:50Ahmad Diallo and Brian Mbomo are on international duty.
01:52Casemiro is suspended.
01:54Patrick Dorgou and Manuel Agathe come in, and there's a first start since the 1st of November for Benjamin Sesko.
01:59The absence of Kobi Meynou from the squad is, according to the club, down to a calf injury.
02:07And so Aston Villa, the form team, but up against their bogey side.
02:11Just five wins in their previous 55 Premier League meetings with Manchester United.
02:18Start with well by Aidan Heaven.
02:22Mount trying to find Sesko.
02:24It's Cunha!
02:27Big opportunity inside the first three minutes.
02:31Villa a bit passive defensively.
02:33It fell nicely for Cunha.
02:35Struck it well.
02:36That was curling inward.
02:39Riven Ameren won the only meeting with Unai Emery on the final day of last season.
02:432-0 at Old Trafford.
02:48Works nicely to Morgan Rodgers.
02:50Ollie Watkins is in here!
02:53Just cut back inside.
02:55And Heaven.
02:57Got a crucial touch.
03:00Suddenly, Manchester United were on the retreat.
03:03Very light at the back.
03:05Good covering there from Heaven.
03:12Clean win from Uri Tielemans.
03:15And Aston Villa are streaming forward here.
03:17Onana to McGinn!
03:20And the follow-up is blocked.
03:22Heaven again.
03:25And as soon as this was won back,
03:28Aston Villa put the pedal down.
03:32Man United outnumbered.
03:33Lamont's pulling off a decent save from McGinn.
03:38Heaven sniffed out the danger once again.
03:44McGinn's corner.
03:48Oh, Rodgers.
03:50Got the final flick.
03:51Fired back across goal by Ian Mattson.
03:53And then, you see, Rodgers was trying that little back heel flick.
03:59Very, very, very close.
04:03And then, you see, Rodgers was trying that little back heel flick.
04:06Very, very, very close.
04:07fernandez finds sesco superb block from emi martinez
04:16villa will cut open here but martinez quick off his line to smother
04:23finding space plays it through sesco
04:32it was a big touch well emi martinez took out matty cash
04:40oh yeah knee to the head on emi martinez from matty cash
04:53well it looks like martinez is having a discussion with the medical team
04:59yeah marco bizot will warm up well they're going to give him a bit of time
05:06interception by fernandez
05:15this could be bad news
05:20dean smith forever known as the aston villa boss that's got them back up to the premier league and
05:31built the foundations on which they're now thriving
05:36this dispossessed again mcginn giving the ball in a precarious position but he's kept hold of it
05:50and morgan rogers has kept it in head down it's rogers
05:55it's an absolute ripper
06:01such a swift counter attack how impressive is this from john mcginn holding off the challenge
06:09finding morgan rogers he should never score from there from that position
06:16it's too easy getting away from euro the finish as well it is absolute perfection
06:22and villa have had to bite their time they've had to soak up a little bit of pressure
06:27they've had to give up possession but they have their lead
06:30oh that's given away
06:45cool
06:46clinical
06:50manchester united strike back
06:53well matty cash here just dawdled on the ball a little bit couldn't decide what he was going to do
07:03dog who wanted back and
07:04kunya finishing that off with such confidence
07:08they gave a goal away in a similar fashion
07:11against west ham united
07:13they are pegged back
07:15manchester united will feel
07:17on the balance of play they deserve that
07:19the manchester united's already depleted squad has gone a little thinner
07:26captain bruno fernandez withdrawn at half time
07:29and sandro martinez
07:32on in his place
07:33it's martinez
07:38well that would have been a turn up for the books
07:42really fancy this chart there's only one thing on his mind
07:45trying to beat his hello argentine
07:47cash finds him again
07:52delayed and waited for
07:57the run of kamara
07:59just behind
08:00tillemans
08:01gets the cross in
08:08rogers
08:10rogers
08:11when the ball fell to him
08:15you just knew what the outcome was going to be
08:19manchester united looks set here
08:21maybe dallo didn't do quite enough to try and stop the cross
08:26just rebounded
08:27rogers did enough to work the space
08:32again
08:33there's an exquisite finish
08:38two last weekend
08:40another two today
08:42unstoppable
08:44here's dallo
08:55block from matty cash
09:02well biller look vulnerable once again having scored at one end
09:07and he martinez forced into a good stop
09:10here from dallo
09:13he's pushed it straight to dorku
09:15matty cash at fault for the previous manchester united goal
09:20made up for it there
09:22quickly across to make the block
09:24mount picks out dorku
09:33throws it down nicely
09:36cuña
09:36well villa giving up chances here
09:41tremendous ball from patrick dorku
09:44cuña didn't get the contact
09:47that should have been two all
09:49by his reaction you can see he knows it
09:52dorku
10:06now he goes right on the edge of the box
10:09yellow card for fogan
10:13he's missed timed
10:17it's mason mount
10:23nearly
10:26difficult angle from which to shoot
10:29very hard win but a fantastic win
10:35of course villa park is our fortress
10:37we are feeling it
10:38and we need the supporters here
10:40how they are transmitting their energy
10:42every player try to help us with their qualities
10:46their commitment
10:47their attitude
10:48it's very important
10:49we try to press high
10:51every ball in martinez we were there to press
10:54we left our players one against one behind
10:57of course we cannot block every second ball of transition
11:00but i think we play well
11:02and if you look at the game i think the best team today lost
11:05because when you consider the start of the season
11:08the turn around has been absolutely incredible
11:11i think just sticking true to us
11:13i think that was the most important thing
11:14we we did what we always do
11:17and we just nothing changed
11:18but we just worked that little bit harder
11:20no surprise you see the results
11:22the manager's a genius
11:23and he knows what he's doing
11:24he knows how to get out of situations
11:26he's been in them plenty of times
11:27so yeah i think
11:28that was the most important thing at the time
11:30yeah we did really well with it
11:32can you give us an indication of what was wrong with bruno
11:34i think bruno has an injury
11:36we need to to assess
11:38but i think he's going to
11:39to
11:40he's not going to play for a few games
11:43but we'll see
11:44there's a lot of noise and a lot of debate of course
11:46around england
11:47and you know
11:48how much do you listen to that
11:50not at all i focus on myself
11:52i just try and improve
11:53get better
11:53find my form
11:55find my best
11:55every game
11:56and see where that takes me
11:58there's
11:58a whole heap of quality
12:00and talent out there
12:01and yeah i'm just trying to compete
12:02at my best
12:03and give it my all
12:04well at least we know
12:06that when we talk about him
12:07in a couple of minutes time
12:08he won't be listening to either of you
12:09so that's all right
12:10and look
12:11and we'll come on to him
12:12and we'll come on to Villa
12:13and all the good stuff in a moment
12:14but it's unusual to praise a team
12:16who've lost
12:17but you want to do that
12:18yeah i thought manchester
12:20today were really aggressive
12:21and brave
12:22in going man to man
12:24and
12:24and made it really difficult
12:25for aston Villa to play out
12:26and
12:26and there's some examples
12:28i want to show you here
12:28which
12:29they got really success
12:30from it
12:31and this is further up the field
12:34yeah
12:35yeah this is further up the pitch
12:36but they were man to man
12:37all over the pitch
12:38and it made it really difficult
12:39for aston Villa to play out
12:40if you see here
12:41man to man at the back
12:42no problem
12:433v3
12:44but what they tried to do
12:45was force aston Villa
12:46down there
12:47right hand side
12:48and they wanted the ball
12:49to go to conder
12:50then eventually to cash
12:51and then they were going to be
12:52going to be aggressive
12:53and try and win the ball
12:54back
12:54and they've done that
12:55and it caused aston Villa
12:56problems
12:57especially the first half
12:58it caused them big problems
12:59you see here
13:00it goes to matty cash
13:01now dorgan goes in
13:02luke short is brave
13:03goes in
13:04wins the ball
13:04they don't win the second ball
13:06but now they've got bodies
13:07around the ball
13:08to be aggressive
13:09and get to the man
13:09and they give a free kick
13:11away here
13:11but it's no problem
13:12and this was constant
13:14throughout the first half
13:15again
13:15so now you see
13:16the body positions
13:17of the man united players
13:18they wanted to go back
13:19then to go down
13:19aston Villa's right hand side
13:20again
13:21which that that happens
13:23they force it into
13:24conder again
13:25now it goes into
13:27matty cash
13:28dog who's there
13:29luke shaw's in behind
13:30man to man
13:30no problem
13:31now what matty cash
13:33does wrong
13:33he takes an extra touch
13:34which allows dog
13:35to get in tight to him
13:36he wins
13:37he wins the ball back
13:38now cunha's in a really
13:39good position
13:40and it's a great finish
13:41and they've got the rewards
13:43for being aggressive
13:43again here
13:45cunha starts this
13:47attack
13:47at this
13:48press off
13:49ugarte and martinez
13:51follow him
13:51and now man to man
13:53mason mount
13:54goes on his press
13:55but then he goes again
13:56when you're man to man
13:56you have to go to the goalkeeper
13:57this time it comes down
13:59aston Villa's left hand side
14:00but no problem
14:01dalo is there
14:02sesko is there
14:03they win the ball
14:04back high of the pitch
14:05again man to man
14:06in the left hand side
14:08of the pitch
14:08this time Villa's left hand side
14:10they win a corner
14:11zirksi comes on the pitch
14:13now again
14:14trying to force it
14:15down the right hand side
14:17in the second half
14:17aston Villa have learned
14:18from the mistakes
14:19they're not going to play short
14:20man to knight
14:223v3 at the back
14:23they win the first ball
14:25win the second ball
14:26it sets them up
14:27on another attack
14:28so i thought they were
14:29really brave
14:30and aggressive
14:30and they've done it
14:31really well
14:31and you can see
14:32can't you
14:33how one press then
14:34you can see the trigger points
14:35you can see that they've worked on it
14:37yeah it's something
14:38they've definitely worked on
14:39before the game
14:40and it was successful
14:41it was especially high up the pitch
14:43and that's the key isn't it
14:45high up the pitch
14:46because further back
14:47it wasn't
14:48and that allowed
14:49the brilliance of Morgan Rodgers
14:51to take advantage
14:52yeah he was the difference
14:54in the game
14:54Morgan Rodgers
14:55he was the standout
14:57for Villa
14:57Villa didn't play brilliant today
14:59they didn't have to do anything
15:00absolutely outstanding
15:01but
15:01as Wayne said
15:03high up the pitch
15:03great
15:03but you've got to do this
15:04when you're
15:05in your own final third
15:07as well
15:07i mean
15:08Joro's in a good position here
15:10McGinn does what he does
15:11he holds the ball up
15:12and he tries to set off
15:13the attack
15:14now if
15:15if your defender
15:16like Joro
15:17and you know that your
15:18opponents had a bad touch
15:20that's when you've got to go in
15:22you cannot allow
15:23opponents to get to the ball
15:25that's where you've got to be
15:26right there
15:27in his face
15:27keep him there
15:28keep him going down the line
15:29make sure that he doesn't come inside
15:32on his stronger
15:32right foot
15:34this is really
15:35really poor defender
15:36you cannot allow that to happen
15:39especially if it's Rodgers
15:40you know what he's like
15:42he's got all the quality
15:43in the world to do that
15:44and the referee helped us out here
15:46Michael Oliver with his
15:47ref cam
15:48that was an unbelievable view
15:50you cannot allow them to do it
15:51it was a great finish
15:52it was
15:52but it's avoidable
15:53and United should have been
15:54more aggressive in their
15:55in their own final third
15:57again
15:58three on three
15:59they don't mind that
16:00they're all in good positions
16:01but then things start to go wrong
16:03players start to switch off
16:05bad ball to Tielemans
16:07it's in behind him
16:08and again Dallow
16:09this is the opposite side this time
16:11he's got to go closer
16:13he knows that Tielemans
16:14is not going to beat him for pace
16:15make it difficult for him
16:17get close to him
16:18they're three on three
16:19everything's fine
16:21he's facing the corner flag
16:22no danger
16:23you've got to stop the cross
16:25put your leg up
16:27he allows Tielemans
16:28to cross the ball
16:30Joros switches off
16:31who's there
16:32the man of the moment again
16:34that little second touch there
16:35does take it away from Joros
16:36but they are set up
16:38the ball should never go in the box
16:40Dallow's got to stop it
16:41and here's the kind of celebrations
16:43you want
16:44I just hope his phone's not in his pocket
16:45just because he's not going to get that back
16:49just had to go back into Rosette
16:51to get his house keys
16:52absolutely
16:52but what we're saying is
16:54it's avoidable
16:55it's avoidable for United
16:56in their own final third
16:58Wayne's saying aggressive up the pitch
17:00which they were
17:00but you've got to be even more aggressive
17:02when you own
17:03Morgan Rodgers becomes the first Villa player
17:06to score two or more goals
17:08in back-to-back Premier League games
17:10since you did it
17:11in the late 90s
17:13right
17:13I gave you some stick at the start
17:15so we'll praise you now
17:16he's in a great run of form
17:19he's like their talent
17:20him and McGinn are kind of talismanic for Villa
17:22and as we get closer and closer to the World Cup
17:25all the discussions will be
17:26who will be England's starting 10
17:28is he in pole position for you?
17:31Yeah I think he has to be in pole position
17:32because I think he starts the last qualifier game
17:34or the last important game for England
17:36in that position
17:36and then since them England games
17:39his form has gone even better
17:40and he's been in great form
17:42he's scored on goals
17:43he's quick, he's strong
17:44he holds the ball
17:45so I think at the minute
17:47he's in pole position
17:48there's some quality players obviously
17:49to try and take that spot
17:52and there's a long way to go
17:52before the World Cup
17:53but he's doing everything right
17:54to try and make sure that position is his
17:56And does he hold that more
17:57you know when you talk about the 10
17:59people play 10 from different positions
18:01don't they?
18:01Cole Palmer can move into the 10
18:03from maybe a slightly wider position
18:05or Bellingham from slightly deeper
18:06is he an out and out 10
18:08Rodgers for you?
18:09I think he can play different positions
18:10but yeah I think he's
18:11he's the one who is an out and out 10
18:13you can play in different positions
18:15and Phil Foden can play for the Mossad
18:16Cole Palmer
18:17Eze can play for the Mossad
18:18but I think he's the one who
18:20who gives more of a presence
18:23in there when you need that
18:24and obviously his form now is great
18:27and Tuchel seems to like him
18:29a little bit more than the other players
18:30so if he keeps his form up
18:32then he's definitely in pole position
18:33a Villa in a title race for you
18:35yes they are
18:37why wouldn't they be
18:38they're three points behind the leaders
18:39and why not
18:40they didn't play well today
18:41but they got over the line
18:42against the Manchester United side
18:43which they don't normally beat
18:45why do you think some people are
18:46are not
18:47convinced that they're in a title race?
18:49maybe because they haven't convinced
18:51with convincing scorelines
18:54you know winning by two and three
18:55and four goals
18:56I just feel that
18:58a manager like Unai Emery
18:59has the credentials
19:00to keep them at this level
19:02and keep them as close as he possibly can
19:05right towards the end of the season
19:07so yeah I do think they're in a title race
19:08do you?
19:09no
19:10no no I don't
19:12I don't think they are
19:13and that's not me being disrespectful
19:15to Astin Villa
19:16I think
19:17they're just not as good as Arsenal and Man City
19:20and they're doing excellent
19:21they're doing great
19:22but to win the title
19:23it takes a lot
19:24and I just don't feel that
19:25they're going to be in a title race
19:26their home form is so strong
19:27they've lost once in a calendar year
19:29at Villa Park
19:29even though they've got the experience
19:31of the credentials of Emery
19:33yeah but I just think
19:35it takes something special
19:36and to win the Premier League title
19:37and I just don't think
19:39Astin Villa are at the level of Arsenal
19:41or Man City

20:01loads of goals
20:02we split them into two
20:03here's part one
20:04nice in
20:11Calafiori with a towering leap
20:12but Arsenal are asking for something else
20:14they think there's a handball in there
20:16oh that is handball
20:17Victor Jokeres has been entrusted with this for Arsenal
20:21Jokeres scores
20:23Nico Gonzalez
20:27nicely done
20:28Foden
20:29Haaland
20:29second chance to shoot
20:32and he wasn't about to miss
20:34Alphonse Areola
20:35having saved the first one
20:37West Hamor to be able to get the ball away here
20:40with Fernandes
20:41that didn't last very long
20:42the lining up to get it off Scherke
20:45they can't manage it
20:46Manchester City
20:46walk it into the back of the net
20:48super
20:49that's a lovely pass from Nunez
20:55and Savino
20:55it's his first touch
20:56since coming off the bench
20:58sending it forward
20:59the touch from Lewis
21:00Haaland doesn't miss
21:02he stops this like that
21:03and surely it's game set and match for Manchester City
21:06Murphy
21:10in towards Valtemada
21:13what a save by Sanchez
21:15and Valtemada with the follow-up
21:18this needs to go in
21:22and it does
21:24Valtemada
21:24and the double
21:27Rhys James
21:31oh it's outstanding from Rhys James
21:34Chao Pedro away from Chao
21:41chance for 2-2
21:43from 2 down
21:46Chelsea a level
21:47lost by Ampadu
21:50up ahead of Rich
21:52is Calvert-Lewin
21:52and the second time of asking
21:55does the necessary
21:57to do with the long throw
22:00helps on
22:02Calvert-Lewin
22:03he's got 2
22:05Leeds United have got 2
22:07stack with the corner
22:10Aronson returns the ball
22:14with it
22:14Trae
22:15stack with it
22:15well you know things are going
22:18Leeds United's way
22:19when Ethan Ampadu scores
22:21water leg
22:24Uche is in here
22:25and has collided with Lucas Perry
22:27and it's a penalty
22:28Deveni
22:30against Lucas Perry
22:32he converts
22:34stack
22:38that is quite exceptional
22:41stack is in good
22:45form at the moment
22:46but let's talk about
22:47that man behind us
22:48Dominic Calvert-Lewin
22:50who is
22:51it feels like
22:53at the moment
22:53in pole position
22:54to be Harry Kane's
22:55understudy
22:55looking ahead to the
22:56World Cup as well
22:57would you agree
22:58or are you going to
22:58disagree with that one
22:59yeah
23:02again he's doing
23:03everything right
23:04and he's got more to do
23:06I think
23:06until the end of the season
23:07and I think Everton
23:09were in a position
23:10where you know
23:11and maybe now
23:12people look and say
23:12they should have kept him
23:13but you know
23:14he was injured for two years
23:15and that made it difficult
23:16for Everton to keep him
23:17but you have to give credit
23:18to the Leeds medical team
23:20for getting them back fit
23:21and playing every week
23:22and he's doing what he does
23:23he's a handful
23:23he's great in the box
23:25he's good in the air
23:25and he's scoring goals
23:26so again he's putting himself
23:28in the bracket
23:30of getting in that squad
23:31but he has to carry on
23:33this form until the end of the season
23:34he does appear to have everything
23:36doesn't he
23:36he appears to be
23:38sort of playing naturally
23:39just being a natural goal scorer
23:41getting into good
23:41goal scoring positions
23:43choosing the right finish
23:44at the right time
23:45you know
23:45even the tapping
23:46that he was saved
23:47he was there for the bits
23:48as well
23:48he looks really sharp
23:50looks really sharp
23:51movement's good
23:52using his
23:52he's six foot four
23:53six foot five
23:54and he looks in really
23:56really good shape
23:56he's a proper athlete
23:58he is
23:59obviously I play with him
23:59and seeing him in the gym
24:01and how he worked
24:01and if he's fit
24:03he's a handful
24:04for any defender in world football
24:05but it's keeping him fit
24:06what's he like
24:07as I said
24:08he's just so difficult
24:09to play against
24:10and people underestimate
24:12how physically
24:14you know
24:14big he is
24:15and aggressive he is
24:16and you know
24:17good in the air
24:17and so he's got everything
24:18but it's just keeping him fit
24:19so you just hope
24:20he can stay fit
24:21from now to the end of the season
24:22I was talking to him recently
24:23and he said
24:24that one of the big differences
24:25now is I think
24:26you know
24:27he's got a child
24:28and with his partner
24:29and his family
24:30and he doesn't listen
24:31to anything else
24:31he shuts everything else out
24:33and uses their calm
24:34to help him
24:35yeah I think children
24:37do calm you down
24:38that's normal
24:39and the more older you get
24:41the more mature you get
24:41depends on your kids
24:42to be honest
24:42yeah
24:43but yeah normally
24:46that does help massively
24:47I suppose the other thing
24:50would be
24:51just looking ahead
24:52to the England thing again
24:53is whether
24:54Tuchel wants
24:56a second
24:57number nine
24:58behind Harry Kane
24:59or whether he'll mix
25:00and match with others
25:01like play Phil Foden
25:02as a false nine
25:03okay as in a different style
25:04yeah a different style
25:05yeah so if he has a goal
25:06then he'll use Foden
25:07as a false nine
25:08I don't care who it is
25:09if they're scoring goals
25:10and if he can continue
25:11to score goals
25:12then he'll have every chance
25:13of being in that squad
25:14at that level of scoring
25:15yes without a doubt
25:16okay yeah
25:16yeah I think Danny Welbeck
25:18as well as
25:19we were talking about him
25:19a few weeks ago
25:20and now it's Kyle Blue
25:21and I just think
25:22Ollie Watkins is still
25:23the one for me
25:23behind Harry Kane
25:24okay
25:25right
25:26just time for all
25:27of the rest of the goals
25:28from yesterday
25:29Simon's left studs
25:35right down the Achilles
25:36of Virgil van Dijk
25:37here that is very painful
25:39after review
25:40my final decision
25:42is Rekmar
25:43Xavi Simons
25:44is sent off
25:46Romero's forward ball
25:49hit McAllister
25:50Eketike
25:52that's nicely done
25:53Florian Wirtz
25:54and Alexander Isak
25:56scores for Liverpool
25:57at some cost to himself
26:00he's put Liverpool
26:01in front
26:02and Isak
26:03trudges off
26:05that looks like
26:06he might be out of action
26:07for a little while
26:08Frimtong
26:11the deflection
26:14on the cross
26:14Eketike
26:15and it struck him
26:17Tottenham protest
26:19Cristian Romero's
26:21been shown a yellow card
26:22for protesting too much
26:24there's a real sense
26:26that this corner
26:26represents
26:27maybe a last
26:28throw the dice
26:29for Spurs
26:29to make it difficult
26:30for Liverpool
26:31Richarlison goes down
26:32it's a big deflection
26:33João Palinha
26:35and Richarlison scores
26:37Richarlison against Liverpool
26:40again
26:40Connata
26:43free kick
26:44Cristian Romero
26:47is going to be sent off
26:50that's why Cristian Romero
26:52got a second yellow card
26:54Janoff spots Thiago
26:57all bounces awkwardly
27:00and it's finished
27:00by Keane-Louis Potter

27:19this is Junior Kruppi
27:22guilty of overplaying it
27:24and then the slip

27:26punishes that moment
27:28there's the Bournemouth breakthrough
27:31that's a lovely ball
27:35there's the goal
27:36for Burnley
27:37right on the 90 minute mark
