00:00:00Rooney O'Connor!

00:00:03Welcome to Match of the Dead.

00:00:30MUSIC PLAYS

00:00:45Hello. Just 363 sleeps until Christmas.

00:00:49Eight Premier League games should help pass the time.

00:00:51Alan Shearer and Wayne Rooney were the pundits most desperate

00:00:54to get out of the house.

00:00:56It was an emotional day at the city ground as Nottingham Forest

00:00:59remembered club legend John Robertson,

00:01:02who died over Christmas at the age of 72.

00:01:05Robertson, who was once compared to Picasso by his manager Brian Clough,

00:01:09appeared in 243 consecutive games for Forest between 1976 and 1980,

00:01:16winning back-to-back European Cups

00:01:18and scoring the only goal in the final against Hamburg in 1980.

00:01:22He left Forest in 1983

00:01:24for what was a controversial move to Peter Taylor's Derby

00:01:27but returned two years later before retiring shortly afterwards.

00:01:31Post-playing, he'd work as assistant manager to his former Forest team-mate,

00:01:35Martin O'Neill.

00:01:37Robertson won 28 caps for Scotland, featuring in the 1978 and 1982

00:01:42World Cup squads and scored the winner against England at Wembley in 1981.

00:01:47Tributes were paid before today's game against Manchester City.

00:01:52Commentary comes from Martin Fisher.

00:01:56It's an emotional day on Trent's side.

00:01:59The sad news has hit Forest fans hard.

00:02:02Rovo was a genuine legend.

00:02:05Manager Sean Dyche got to know him well in recent years.

00:02:08How dearly he would love his side to produce a fitting tribute on the pitch.

00:02:14He's made one change to the side that lost at Fulham on Monday

00:02:17with Nicolas Dominguez preferred to Douglas Luiz in midfield.

00:02:21John Victor again retains his place in goal despite Matt Sells being fit again.

00:02:27Manchester City arrive on the back of five successive league wins

00:02:31with top of the table Arsenal in their sights.

00:02:34Unchanged for the third game in a row with Erling Haaland one shy of 150 goals for the club.

00:02:41He boasts five in six games against Forest.

00:02:44A deafening minutes of applause echoes around the city ground and across the river Trent and into the city.

00:03:05Forest have done well at the city ground since Sean Dyche took over,

00:03:09winning four of their six games in all competitions,

00:03:11but this definitely their toughest test yet.

00:03:16Hudson-Odoi, two against Spurs in Forest's last game here.

00:03:22Decent ball in!

00:03:24Gibbs-White and Igor Jesus between them, couldn't get a touch.

00:03:29What a glorious ball in from Forest's left winger today.

00:03:35Shades of Robbo with that delivery.

00:03:37Oh, for a Bertels or a Woodcock on the end of that.

00:03:40Oh!

00:03:48Quickly taken Bernardo Silva, Pesceki!

00:03:51And the challenge from Milenkovic was in the nick of time.

00:03:55Forest just a little bit caught off guard there,

00:03:59Milenkovic wasn't, and was in strongly.

00:04:03They are having a look.

00:04:05Check complete and cleared.

00:04:12Referee thought about blowing and now does.

00:04:15Igor Jesus continues to win his side.

00:04:18Free kicks.

00:04:22And a yellow card for his process.

00:04:25Yes, Ruben Diaz the first in the referee's book today.

00:04:34But immediately, some work to do defensively,

00:04:36Ruben Diaz running across the path there.

00:04:38And Igor Jesus has got the free kick and now is waving an imaginary card

00:04:43in the direction of referee Robb Jones, which is never the cleverest thing to do.

00:04:48And Diaz saw the run of the Brazilian, kicked his heel.

00:04:53But that is unnecessary from the Forest centre-forward.

00:04:58Manchester City with work to do, if they are to significantly keep the pressure on Arsenal.

00:05:04They have a ball around the corner, Reinders is in, and Reinders scores.

00:05:10It hasn't taken Manchester City long, two and a half minutes after the restart.

00:05:16Reinders again, he's in a rich vein of form, three in his last five starts.

00:05:23Forest so resilient in the first half, picked apart at the start of the second.

00:05:29And whatever Pep Guardiola said during the break has come up trunks.

00:05:35Forest nil, Manchester City one.

00:05:45Reinders, Schierke, Harland making the run this time,

00:05:48he might have strayed into an offside position,

00:05:50so Schierke goes alone and gets the shot away,

00:05:53tips on to the post by Jean-Victor.

00:05:56Oh, it's brilliant from Reinders, Schierke.

00:05:59Pass for the goal was his seventh assist, went alone here.

00:06:03And it's the fingertips of the goalkeeper and the post that manages to deny him.

00:06:08Here goes Harland with an important touch, Schierke.

00:06:13Harland again.

00:06:15Now Foden.

00:06:20Reinders again.

00:06:22Just lost his balance and Gibbs-White carries it away for Nottingham Forest.

00:06:26Went to the door.

00:06:33Gibbs-White again.

00:06:35Clever ball.

00:06:36Here goes Jesus, Hutchinson on marked back post.

00:06:39Here he is.

00:06:401-1.

00:06:46That was a brilliant goal.

00:06:49From one end of the pitch to the other.

00:06:52Amari Hutchinson with the final touch.

00:06:55His first goal in a Forest jersey.

00:06:57But look where this move started.

00:07:00Gibbs-White carries it.

00:07:02Collects from Hudson-Odoi.

00:07:07Eagles-Jesus, look at the space that Hutchinson had got.

00:07:10City court napping back post.

00:07:12And Hutchinson thumps it home.

00:07:15And Forest were not behind for very long.

00:07:19Forest won.

00:07:20Manchester City won.

00:07:22What a ball from Anderson.

00:07:25Shame that Hutchinson couldn't take it in his stride,

00:07:28but Forest still on the move.

00:07:30Hutchinson's ball in.

00:07:31Eagles-Jesus.

00:07:32Gibbs-White.

00:07:36Anderson will have it, but Hutchinson has other ideas.

00:07:39Twinkle toes from him.

00:07:40Anderson's still available.

00:07:42Curls it in.

00:07:44Away by Mateusz Nunes.

00:07:47Down for Gibbs-White.

00:07:48On for Williams to have a go!

00:07:50Donnarumma away, Savona!

00:07:55Well, he rushed the shot.

00:07:56And the chance has gone begging.

00:07:58Donnarumma is relieved.

00:08:00It looked as though this wasn't going to test him from Williams,

00:08:03but it bounced awkwardly.

00:08:05Donnarumma mightily relieved to see Savona put it over the bar.

00:08:09He has scored a couple of important goals this season

00:08:11against big teams as well.

00:08:13Manchester United and Liverpool.

00:08:18Burrillo's touch was heavy.

00:08:19Foden couldn't get there quickly enough.

00:08:22Foden couldn't get there quickly enough.

00:08:24Foden, Foden, Bernardo Silva.

00:08:27Foden is in, brilliant!

00:08:30Oh, what a save!

00:08:31What a stop by Jean-Victor!

00:08:34Oh, he enjoyed that all right.

00:08:37That was magical approach from Manchester City.

00:08:40Quick, crisp, accurate passing.

00:08:43And before they knew it, Foden saw Foden taking aim and firing.

00:08:47Mostly inside the ground thought that that would hit the back of the net.

00:08:51Jean-Victor had other ideas.

00:08:57That's the intelligent ball from Savona.

00:08:59Might be a chance here for Haaland.

00:09:00Milenkovic does just enough.

00:09:04It locked for a moment or two there as though Haaland had got goalside.

00:09:08But Milenkovic stuck to his task.

00:09:10City have four players in the six-yard box.

00:09:17It's deeper towards Gavardio.

00:09:19Came off of Forest Head.

00:09:21Another corner.

00:09:22Foden to try again.

00:09:29The game goes deep, but this time it does find the head of Gavardio.

00:09:34Driven in.

00:09:35Shek is scored.

00:09:37City in front, again.

00:09:40Set up the first, scores the second.

00:09:43This Frenchman is having quite an impact on Manchester City this season.

00:09:48It's his first Premier League goal since the opening day of the season

00:09:53when he came on as a sub against Wolves in that comfortable 4-0 success.

00:09:58Nothing comfortable about this game, but will it stand?

00:10:01That's the question.

00:10:03Andy Madley, our VAR today, is busy checking this.

00:10:08Clever header down by Gavardio.

00:10:11And an unerring finish from Schierke.

00:10:14Donnarumma joyously celebrates and the goal will stand.

00:10:19They have not been at their best today, Manchester City,

00:10:23because their best is right at the top.

00:10:27But with that strike from Schierke, they might be at the top for at least a few hours.

00:10:34That performance must give you great optimism for the future and great pride.

00:10:38Well, we certainly not lacked pride or optimism, but I know what you mean.

00:10:41It's reinforced the good work the players are doing.

00:10:43I thought they were terrific from start to finish.

00:10:45You know, the goals we can pick the bones out, I'm sure we will.

00:10:48But how we don't get the referee today, I'm lost for words about that.

00:10:53Our player gets thrown to the floor, nothing's done.

00:10:55They score for me. It's getting ridiculous now.

00:10:57We know there's no intention for them to head the ball.

00:10:59He just pushes him to the floor. Can't do that in a corner.

00:11:01I couldn't believe how they had Senraal stayed on the pitch.

00:11:03He brings Igor down early in the second half, a little bit over the top.

00:11:06You know, when they say things like it's an accident,

00:11:08still he held a card whether it's an expert or not.

00:11:10You got that opening goal so soon after the restart.

00:11:13And as soon as it hit the net, you turned away and celebrated with Pep.

00:11:16Was there something you particularly did at the break that he told you

00:11:19what we should do to get that goal?

00:11:21Pep is so good. People from Liverpool, they know it.

00:11:23So he's an incredible manager. So maybe I'm his assistant.

00:11:28He's the top.

00:11:29And we talked during the game, the first half, the second half,

00:11:32in half-time what you should do to have some extra players in that position.

00:11:36So we knew that the red red mentality is impossible to win the game today.

00:11:41You seem to come out for the second half with an extra determination in your step.

00:11:45What was said during the break?

00:11:47He said, let's do it again and again. Try again.

00:11:51Because when we find the little space, we win this game.

00:11:55And today is that.

00:11:57Well, a nice Christmassy ring to the goal scorers,

00:11:59Cherky and Reinders.

00:12:01Just say it to yourself a few times.

00:12:03And those tweaks at half-time certainly paid dividends, didn't they?

00:12:06Yeah, there's no doubt about it.

00:12:07That's what they tried to do.

00:12:10Certainly second half.

00:12:11This is the first half.

00:12:12Well, that's the system they're playing against.

00:12:14The four or five when they're defending.

00:12:16Four, five, one.

00:12:17And Cherky and Foden there.

00:12:18Then you've got Reinders who were sitting at those,

00:12:20a little bit deeper than the other two.

00:12:22But Haaland was isolated a little bit at times

00:12:25because all of a sudden you've got into that position,

00:12:27which is a decent one.

00:12:28But Milenkovich and Marilla, 2v1,

00:12:31didn't really get any joy because of that situation.

00:12:34Similar sort of thing happens here.

00:12:36Now I've got the three there.

00:12:38But there's Reinders again that we've got highlighted.

00:12:41And again, they work it into a decent position.

00:12:44But similar sort of things happen again.

00:12:47They did well to get in there, but similar thing again.

00:12:492v1, not a lot of space and nothing comes of it.

00:12:53But then the only time it happened in the first half

00:12:56was when Reinders did get a little bit further forward

00:12:59and then started to ask questions of that Forest defence.

00:13:02Because all of a sudden it's not 2v1 or 3v1.

00:13:06It's actually 3v3, which City don't mind that at all

00:13:09and are quite comfortable when that happens.

00:13:11There's the space there.

00:13:12And as I said, all of a sudden it opens up

00:13:14because the centre half then has to come onto Reinders

00:13:18and you've got that 3v3 situation,

00:13:21which City will punish you more often than not when that happens.

00:13:24A better ball in and Haaland's in.

00:13:26And a great example of that is in the second half with their goal.

00:13:29And this is what happens.

00:13:30All of a sudden, look, Reinders is now up alongside Erland Haaland.

00:13:34At times he actually went past them.

00:13:36They've now got buddies in and around him.

00:13:38So centre-halves and full-backs have got to do something different,

00:13:41which they didn't do in the first half.

00:13:43Centre-half's got to look at Cherki.

00:13:45He's also got to have one eye on Reinders,

00:13:46which he gets then drawn out the turn.

00:13:49They've then got runners in behind more than Haaland,

00:13:52and Reinders was that guy.

00:13:53And ultimately, that's helped them win the game.

00:13:55And whether it was Pep Guardiola or Pep Linders

00:13:57who decided to do that at half-time,

00:13:59it played a huge part in City getting the success.

00:14:02You can see the first half map of his position, Reinders,

00:14:05compared to the second half.

00:14:06He's a lot further forward.

00:14:08And as I said, they got far more joy when he did that.

00:14:11Wayne, Sean Dyche says that he couldn't find words,

00:14:14but he managed to find a few to discuss

00:14:16a couple of controversial, in his eyes, decisions.

00:14:18Let's have a little look at them through your eyes.

00:14:20Diaz's second yellow, let's call this one, potential.

00:14:24Yeah, I think it is a yellow card.

00:14:26I think if you look, he takes a step back across towards his own goal,

00:14:30he has a look, and then he clips the forward.

00:14:33So I think that is a second yellow, and he should have been sent off.

00:14:36And no-one likes to see players turn together, other players buck.

00:14:39I agree with that as well.

00:14:40I think it was the look and then they stepped across,

00:14:42and I think they were looking at the other way with him already being on a yellow.

00:14:45OK, and what about the winning goal?

00:14:48I actually think it's a foul on O'Reilly.

00:14:52Because I think if you look at Gibbs White here,

00:14:55and you'll see it again after this one,

00:14:57he grabs his arm, so he grabs O'Reilly's arm,

00:14:59and then he locks his leg into O'Reilly,

00:15:02and actually pulls O'Reilly down.

00:15:04So I've got no complaints.

00:15:06We see here, so he locks his arm in,

00:15:08and then just with his left leg,

00:15:10also he locks his left leg in,

00:15:12and then he pulls O'Reilly down to the ground.

00:15:14So I think it's a good goal.

00:15:15I think the goal should have stood.

00:15:16Dyson is going to look at the VAR report.

00:15:19Yeah, I'm happy to go with whatever the referee decides on that one,

00:15:22which means it's not a clear and obvious error either way.

00:15:25So whatever he gave, I'm happy to go with it.

00:15:28There was a little bit of noise ahead of this fixture,

00:15:30ahead of the Christmas break anyway,

00:15:31about the weigh-in that would happen

00:15:33and the City players being made to be sure

00:15:35that they didn't come back any heavier.

00:15:37And Erling Haaland there telling Donna Rummer

00:15:39that he can come back.

00:15:40You can eat it now, Donna.

00:15:42After he weighed in.

00:15:44And we saw Haaland's post as well about his weight coming back.

00:15:46Lean and mean.

00:15:47What about you two?

00:15:48Ever any worries or concerns?

00:15:50Did you get weighed in?

00:15:51I was all right on Boxing Day.

00:15:52Yeah, I come in a bit heavier times.

00:15:54But that was most of the season.

00:15:57Well, Wayne, we've had a little look in the archives

00:15:59and maybe that's a reflection on your Boxing Day goals scored.

00:16:03Eight out of four for you, Wayne.

00:16:05Oh, there you go. You did have too much turkey, then.

00:16:07Yeah, well, I've still got four goals.

00:16:09It's not too bad.

00:16:10I feel like that's no regrets.

00:16:11OK.

00:16:12So that win in the early cook-off put Manchester City

00:16:15top of the table ahead of Arsenal's game against Brighton.

00:16:18Steve Wilson was at the Emirates.

00:16:21Being top at Christmas has never yet been turned into a Premier League title by Arsenal.

00:16:26Another near miss would be very hard for them to stomach.

00:16:30All kinds of adversity for them too.

00:16:32Timber with a twinge in training.

00:16:34Calafiori injured in the warm-up.

00:16:36Miles Lewis-Skelly comes in at left-back.

00:16:38Declan Rice starts at right-back.

00:16:41Some better news for Brighton who have Dunk and Gomez returning from suspension

00:16:46and Van Hecker from injury.

00:16:47They go with a back three.

00:16:49Danny Welbeck is fit enough for the bench, but Karu Mitoma is ill.

00:16:55Lewis-Skelly.

00:16:56Awkward for Lewis-Dunk.

00:17:01Jokeres!

00:17:02That's a really good chance.

00:17:05It's a very awkward bounce, which went over the top of the Brighton skipper

00:17:10and fell kindly here for Jokeres.

00:17:13It's a bit of a tame attempt.

00:17:15Odegaard.

00:17:23Saka has done well to get himself inside the area

00:17:26and he's brought a good save from Verbruggen

00:17:28and reacted very quickly to the rebound.

00:17:31Great play by Bukayo Saka, blocked by Verbruggen.

00:17:36His second Christmas as Brighton boss.

00:17:38December has not been kind to him.

00:17:42Ruder dispossessed, little bit of room here.

00:17:45And Odegaard loves to have a bit of room.

00:17:49Bukayo Saka.

00:17:52That's high and well off target in the end from Saka.

00:17:55Found the space quite nicely, but nowhere near the finish.

00:17:59And it's a goal kick.

00:18:05Here is Saka.

00:18:10And Odegaard.

00:18:11Oh, it's a really good finish by Martin Odegaard.

00:18:17And the skipper scores his first goal of the season to put Arsenal in front.

00:18:23From their own goal kick, Brighton fall behind.

00:18:25The pressure from Incappier.

00:18:29Won the ball back.

00:18:31Odegaard has a little step back to find some space.

00:18:36And Verbruggen might be a bit disappointed that he didn't get across to his left-hand side to get a touch on this.

00:18:42But it's Arsenal 1, Brighton 0.

00:18:46And it's Martin Odegaard.

00:18:48There he is, Gabriel, on the bench, which is very good news for Arsenal to see.

00:18:53To his right-hand side is 16-year-old Marley Salmon, who was a late addition to the substitutes bench once Calafiore got injured in the warm-up.

00:19:02Oh, Rutte has made a really poor decision there.

00:19:06Here's Saka.

00:19:08And Brighton are lucky to get away with that.

00:19:11And they may not.

00:19:12Here's Trossard.

00:19:15Saka.

00:19:17Van Hecker, Marino.

00:19:19And the flick.

00:19:20Brilliant save by Verbruggen.

00:19:21Well, what a fabulous save here by Bart Verbruggen.

00:19:30Brilliant passage of play.

00:19:31Terrible decision by Rutte to let that ball drop.

00:19:36Trossard back in.

00:19:38Saka tried his luck.

00:19:39Van Hecker away from Jokeres.

00:19:41Marino.

00:19:43Brilliant little flick from Zubimendi.

00:19:45And a wonderful save by Verbruggen.

00:19:51Mikel Marino.

00:19:55And we've just gone into a minimum of just one added minute.

00:20:01Now Verbruggen's come.

00:20:03Oh, dear.

00:20:06Well, it's a tough job for Jokeres to score from there.

00:20:09Van Hecker is between him and the goal.

00:20:12The card is yellow, and that probably feels right out there.

00:20:16Verbruggen made a really poor decision to come for it, though.

00:20:19The video assistant referee Paul Tierney has had a look at that

00:20:24and decided that a yellow card is fair enough.

00:20:29But you would think it's pretty much on the cusp from Verbruggen.

00:20:35Brighton have made two changes at half-time.

00:20:39Brighton's formation, however, has stayed the same.

00:20:41Mikel Marino will receive this and send it on to Leandro Trossard.

00:20:49And Odegaard, big deflection.

00:20:52It's a good block that by Ayari.

00:20:56Arsenal corner.

00:20:58Dangerous from Odegaard.

00:21:00And Ayari with a very important flick on that.

00:21:09Rice, not a pace on that, I think it's an un-goal.

00:21:13Jorginho Rutte's got the final touch on that.

00:21:17It's 2-0 to Arsenal.

00:21:19But Declan Rice takes the congratulations for the speed and threat of the delivery.

00:21:28And Rutte flicks it over Verbruggen.

00:21:34And puts Arsenal two goals in front.

00:21:38Four of Arsenal's last six goals have been own goals.

00:21:43Here's Odegaard.

00:21:45Cariolo with Jokeres.

00:21:48Jokeres battered it into Verbruggen.

00:21:53He absolutely leathered this, Jokeres.

00:21:56But it's such close quarters to Bart Verbruggen.

00:22:00But it's smashed back off the keeper.

00:22:01Brighton won three consecutive Premier League games here at the Emirates against Arsenal between April 22 and May 23.

00:22:11They haven't won one since, home war away.

00:22:17Rutte on the half turn, Ayari through the crowd and off the post.

00:22:22And the follow-up is smashed in.

00:22:26Gomez makes it 2-1.

00:22:28Well, that's come out of nothing.

00:22:33Well, Brighton have barely ever threatened Arsenal in this game.

00:22:37Just past the hour mark, they're suddenly back in the game.

00:22:42Well held up by Rutte.

00:22:45Off the post.

00:22:46And the rebound in from Diego Gomez.

00:22:51Arsenal's rhythm and momentum very much halted by that Gomez goal.

00:22:56Lovely little flick, that's Minty!

00:22:57What a save that is by Davy Dreyer.

00:23:00Well, that looked like a goal all day long.

00:23:04It's a great hit by Minty, it's a fantastic stop by Davy Dreyer.

00:23:05Brighton's corner.

00:23:06Vytha!

00:23:07Vytha!

00:23:08Ooh!

00:23:09He's put it over the top of the crossbar.

00:23:10It's a real miss.

00:23:11This really is not comfortable at all for Arsenal now.

00:23:18Saka.

00:23:19Saka.

00:23:20Saka's crossed, Martinelli!

00:23:21Good night.

00:23:23Vytha!

00:23:24Oh!

00:23:25He's put it over the top of the crossbar.

00:23:27It's a real miss.

00:23:29This really is not comfortable at all for Arsenal now.

00:23:37Saka, Saka's crossed Martinelli, could have won it, but hasn't, good play by Bukayo Saka, Martinelli over the top, Arsenal still anxious.

00:23:58This is Jankouba Mente, this could be dangerous, the little clip ball, Cadiolu didn't hit it, Zubimendi got himself in front of Jorginho Rute, hands are raised from Arteta, David Raya clutches the ball, and the whistle goes, and Arsenal have the points, hard-earned points in the end,

00:24:24though that seemed highly unlikely until Diego Gomez gave Brighton a foothold in the game.

00:24:31I think we dominated, we controlled pretty much everything, should have scored more goals, should have been a bigger margin in the end, but that's the Premier League and that's football,

00:24:42you switch off for one second and they can punish you, so we got the win and we got the three points, but obviously we would have liked it to be a little bit less stressful towards the end.

00:24:53The small margins, they make the difference and we have to understand how important it is, we have to understand which role do we have as individuals when we have to defend set pieces when we build up.

00:25:04I think we proved it in the second half, but it's about doing it for 90 minutes, I think that's the key thing.

00:25:10You lose Calafiore in the warm-up, Jorginho Rute's got something in training, so players are going to have to be up for doing things that maybe don't come completely naturally to them.

00:25:20You have to be ready because it's now, so in the warm-up something, and you have to be in the right mental space.

00:25:26That's what I love about the team, that with everything that we're going through, which has been a lot, the way we react to that, the way we want to fulfil that role and make another step is brilliant to watch.

00:25:39Arsenal looked to be cruising in the first half, Alan, but it did get a lot more nervy for them in the second half. What changed?

00:25:45Yeah, absolutely. Well, what changed, Gabby, is that Arsenal, particularly in wide areas, caused Brighton so many problems because they were left isolated, the two wing-backs, full-backs, and more often than not, they lost out on those battles.

00:26:01Saka was left so many times 1v1, and yes, for the first half, this was a constant. He went back, whoever was there, and they went past them, and has caused them all sorts of problems.

00:26:14And they work it really, really well, and as I said, yep, they absolutely dominated Brighton and should have scored more goals, but they didn't. Similar sort of thing there.

00:26:23He works it to where he wants it, but the finish isn't very good. This is the goal. They force Brighton into what Arsenal want them to do, and they get the press spot on really, really well.

00:26:34They work it well, and then all of a sudden, similar thing again. Dumped, not sure whether to go tight or to drop off. He doesn't really do either.

00:26:41And again, Saka's left 1v1, but he picks his head up this time and finds Odegaard, who's in loads of space, and finishes it off really, really well.

00:26:49It wasn't just down the right-hand side. It was also down the left-hand side as well with Trossard.

00:26:54I mean, he must carry this ball, I don't know, 70 yards or so up the field and puts Arsenal into a really, really good position to get to the byline.

00:27:04But that was a constant. Either side, as I said, causing them all sorts of problems.

00:27:08Then all of a sudden at half-time, Brighton change. They bring Weefer on, they bring Minta on, and they switch Cadioglu to the other side.

00:27:16And I know Arsenal go 2-0 up early in the second half, but to their credit, Brighton, this is what they did really, really well.

00:27:23So instead of Arsenal causing them problems, all of a sudden they, now that's their first effort on target, and then all of a sudden they're asking questions now.

00:27:32And it really did get nervy for Arsenal. It shouldn't have with the pressure they had or they tried to put on in that first half.

00:27:39This is the goal here. They work it really, really well. Hit the post. Gomez is there to stick it away.

00:27:44And you're about to see one of, if not, the save of the season. This is an unbelievable save. They work it again so well, but look, there you go.

00:27:53It's those two down that right-hand side again. Little give, little go in behind. Wow. That's all you can see.

00:27:59You can see Herzl and his reaction on the touchline. Unbelievable save that is. It really is magnificent.

00:28:06So what could have been an easier afternoon, if Arsenal had kept that up in the first half, it turned into a really difficult afternoon.

00:28:13But they got the three points, which is the most important thing.

00:28:16Wayne, last week we had two goalkeepers on Match of the Day. They'd have probably spent four minutes analysing that, waxing lyrical.

00:28:21As a centre-forward, give us your appraisal, of that say.

00:28:24Yeah, I think it was a good hype for the keeper. No, but in all fairness, it was an absolutely incredible save.

00:28:31And the speed he has to get across the goal, and it's moments like that which win your league titles.

00:28:36And Davarela has many of them moments throughout the season.

00:28:39Yeah, and it was endorsed by his manager, Mikel Arteta.

00:28:42So, to the late game. Aston Villa had won their last ten matches in all competitions,

00:28:47and had the chance to move ten points clear of Chelsea, who began the day just one place below them in fourth.

00:28:53Mark Scott was at Stamford Bridge.

00:28:56Ten in a row is Villa's best winning run as a top division side in 111 years.

00:29:02And it sparked debate about whether they're in the title race.

00:29:06That was a conversation Chelsea were part of a few weeks ago, but one within five has seen them leave the chat.

00:29:13Chelsea bring Badia Schiel and Fernandes in for Fafana and Gusto.

00:29:17Guendia replaces Inanna for Villa, while Marlins prefer to Watkins up top.

00:29:22Morgan Rodgers' individual form is just as impressive as Villa's.

00:29:26He's scored six goals in as many Premier League games.

00:29:30Caicedo quickly onto Cole Palmer.

00:29:37And it's still Cole Palmer.

00:29:39Now Garnaccio.

00:29:40Room here for Fernandes!

00:29:42Who cannot believe he hasn't hit the target.

00:29:45Tama at the heart of it.

00:29:48Garnaccio then teed up Enzo Fernandes, who has scored in all of his last three games against Villa.

00:29:55Should have been four in a row.

00:29:59Enzo Marescu is serving a touchline ban today.

00:30:01He says he was also banned from the kitchen on Christmas Day.

00:30:05As his mum was staying with them and when she's there no one else is allowed in.

00:30:10Pedro Neto.

00:30:14Inside of Martsen and towards Jao Pedro.

00:30:17Martinez did enough to keep him out.

00:30:19Jao Pedro keeps it alive.

00:30:21Fonts are clear.

00:30:23Buendia.

00:30:24Dangerous.

00:30:25Telemans helps him out.

00:30:26Or does he?

00:30:28Jao Pedro nicked it off him but couldn't keep it in.

00:30:31Got clear of the Villa defence but couldn't get the ball clear of Emi Martinez.

00:30:38It's been some final quarter from Unai Emery's side at the end of September.

00:30:42Villa were third from bottom.

00:30:44They went into Christmas just three points off the top.

00:30:47Cucurera on the overlap.

00:30:50And that's a corner off Mati Cash.

00:30:53First corner of the match.

00:30:56So Rhys James to take this corner for Chelsea.

00:31:02With ten minutes to go until the break.

00:31:05Tricky one to defend.

00:31:07And Villa haven't defended it.

00:31:09And Chelsea have the lead.

00:31:11Well no one seems to know who to congratulate.

00:31:19So Rhys James happy to take the acclaim.

00:31:23Such an awkward one to try and keep out this from Rhys James.

00:31:29Popped into a perfect area from a Chelsea point of view.

00:31:33And Villa simply couldn't scramble it away.

00:31:37It'll be Jao Pedro's goal.

00:31:39Not that he knew too much about it.

00:31:42Chelsea won.

00:31:44Aston Villa nil.

00:31:46Jao Pedro scores in back-to-back Premier League games for the Blues.

00:31:52Villa have won the most points from losing positions in the Premier League so far this season.

00:32:00They need another turnaround here this evening.

00:32:04Buendia quite into the path of Camara.

00:32:09Now it's Enzo Fernandes.

00:32:11Alejandro Garnaccio.

00:32:12Leto waiting and nearly getting there.

00:32:16And Chelsea actually feel that they've got a case for a penalty here.

00:32:23It's in a natural position for his actions is the VAR verdict.

00:32:28Palmer.

00:32:31Michel Petro.

00:32:38Cole Palmer.

00:32:39Lovely ball, surely!

00:32:41A goal-saving intervention from John McGinn.

00:32:45To prevent Chelsea doubling their lead.

00:32:48Such an inviting delivery.

00:32:50And it was a tap-in for Garnaccio until the Villa skipper stepped in.

00:32:56Chelsea very much in charge but only 1-0 up.

00:33:00Neto.

00:33:06Buffeted by Tiedemans.

00:33:07There's no foul.

00:33:08Chelsea have got the ball anyway.

00:33:09Oh!

00:33:10Rhys James!

00:33:11Forces a fine save, Garnaccio!

00:33:14Rhys James here, I think certainly was going for goal.

00:33:18And credit to the Villa keeper for recovering and then clawing away to safety.

00:33:24His side have been disappointing so far and Unai Emery is making a triple change.

00:33:29Sancho, Inanna and Watkins on with Marlon McGinn and Buendia taken off.

00:33:35Garnaccio galloping up there.

00:33:38He's found Enzo Fernandez, lovely touch, our Pedro!

00:33:44Not to where Cole Palmer was actually waiting.

00:33:47And Villa with the chance to hit on the counter.

00:33:51And it's a big chance as well.

00:33:53Watkins, Kamara's up there.

00:33:55And Watkins threw him for Kamara!

00:33:57Great work, Sanchez!

00:33:59Nothing to do up until now for Robert Sanchez.

00:34:04But he was out quickly and he was brave at the feet of Kamara to block the route to goal.

00:34:10And keep Chelsea in front by a goal.

00:34:14Picked up by Inanna.

00:34:16Chelsea had just looked a bit ropey in the last few minutes.

00:34:19Rodgers, great ball, Watkins!

00:34:211-1!

00:34:22It's Oli Watkins again at Stamford Bridge!

00:34:26He's now scored in three of his last four league games here.

00:34:32And our Villa about to come from behind to win again.

00:34:37They've woken up in the last five or ten minutes or so.

00:34:42And now they're back on terms.

00:34:44It's really sloppy from Chelsea.

00:34:47But it's so switched on from Oli Watkins.

00:34:51Great first touch.

00:34:54And then a bit of fortune when the second touch came back off him and off the post and in.

00:35:02It's Chelsea 1, Villa 1, Watkins.

00:35:05Three minutes after coming on has levelled it up.

00:35:10Kamara.

00:35:14Sancho.

00:35:17Great stop by Jadon Sancho.

00:35:19Eating up the turf now and finding Morgan Rodgers.

00:35:22Look at the Claritin blue up there.

00:35:24It's Marcsen!

00:35:27Kept at bay by Sanchez.

00:35:30Villa all over Chelsea from out of nowhere.

00:35:35Look at those Villa fans.

00:35:37They believe...

00:35:41Watkins.

00:35:44It's a bit of a shabby pass but now he's chasing one over the top himself.

00:35:47Watkins could be in here.

00:35:49Caicedo does enough, does he?

00:35:51Watkins!

00:35:52Sanchez had to react smartly to prevent Oli Watkins getting a second goal.

00:35:57Simple ball over the top but Watkins made the most of it.

00:36:03Worked great for the first hour but since that triple change Villa have been on top.

00:36:09Bogart.

00:36:10Well that's come through for Watkins.

00:36:12It's Oli Watkins up against Badia Shiel.

00:36:15Still Watkins.

00:36:16Oh!

00:36:17And it's a corner.

00:36:18There goes Watkins!

00:36:19Oh!

00:36:20And it's a corner.

00:36:21There goes Watkins!

00:36:22There goes Watkins!

00:36:23Oh!

00:36:24And it's a corner.

00:36:25There goes Watkins!

00:36:27And there goes Watkins!

00:36:28Villa have done it again!

00:36:29Oli Watkins sends the away end at the bridge into delirium.

00:36:32Villa have done it again

00:36:40Ollie Watkins

00:36:42sends the away end

00:36:44at the bridge

00:36:45into delirium

00:36:47and puts Villa on course

00:36:49for an 11th

00:36:52straight win

00:36:53some head of this

00:36:55from Watkins

00:36:56up so well

00:36:59and angled perfectly

00:37:01into the corner

00:37:02talk about

00:37:05an impact sub

00:37:06Ollie Watkins

00:37:08at the double

00:37:09to turn the game

00:37:11on its head

00:37:12and have Villa heading

00:37:14for yet another victory

00:37:16but it's Ollie Watkins

00:37:19whose name is

00:37:20hitting the headlines

00:37:21for Villa this evening

00:37:23rather than Morgan Rogers

00:37:25a belated

00:37:26Christmas gift for him

00:37:29and what a time

00:37:30to be a Villa fan

00:37:32Villa's incredible victory march

00:37:37goes on

00:37:38it's now a joint club record

00:37:4211 wins in a row

00:37:44and another sign

00:37:47that they surely

00:37:49have to be

00:37:50in the title race conversation

00:37:53Chelsea won

00:37:55to come on

00:37:58and get the two goals

00:38:00to win

00:38:00is

00:38:00yeah it's an amazing feeling

00:38:02and

00:38:03obviously we're doing

00:38:04Umbriel in the league

00:38:06yeah we just keep

00:38:09winning

00:38:09and I don't think we look like

00:38:12slowing down either

00:38:13he was so so focused

00:38:15keeping the game plan

00:38:16like we planned

00:38:17and discipline

00:38:18doing it

00:38:19and doing his task

00:38:21he's normally

00:38:23getting his numbers

00:38:25and today scoring goal

00:38:26of course fantastic

00:38:27I think for one hour

00:38:29we dominated the game

00:38:30we were very good

00:38:31until the goal

00:38:32we conceded

00:38:33unfortunately after that

00:38:34the dynamic of the game

00:38:36changed a little bit

00:38:36but I think

00:38:37by the time they scored

00:38:39the 1-1

00:38:39we should have scored

00:38:412-3 more

00:38:41you have to see yourself

00:38:43as a contender

00:38:43when you look at the table

00:38:44right now

00:38:45not

00:38:4638 matches

00:38:47no no no

00:38:48he's finishing tomorrow

00:38:49the next match against

00:38:51Arsenal is finishing the league

00:38:52no

00:38:53still another

00:38:5420 matches to play

00:38:55we'll talk about a game

00:38:58of two halves

00:38:59it was actually more of a game

00:39:00of one particular

00:39:01half an hour

00:39:02for Aston Villa

00:39:02once Unai Emery

00:39:03had made his changes

00:39:04yeah it was

00:39:06and I thought the three lads

00:39:07who come on

00:39:08were excellent

00:39:08and really made a big difference

00:39:10to this Aston Villa team

00:39:11and

00:39:12Unai was a big presence

00:39:14when he came on

00:39:14in the middle of the pitch

00:39:15winning the ball back

00:39:16and then that

00:39:16freed up the likes of

00:39:18Morgan Rodgers

00:39:19and Ollie Watkins

00:39:20but then this pass

00:39:21is the weight on that pass

00:39:22the detail on that pass

00:39:23is fantastic

00:39:24and Ollie Watkins

00:39:25has a good first touch

00:39:26he gets a little bit of luck

00:39:28with the finish

00:39:29but he put himself

00:39:30in the right position

00:39:31and he gets his first goal

00:39:33of the game

00:39:34but

00:39:34Jadon Sancho

00:39:35come into this as well

00:39:36and I thought

00:39:36we haven't seen much of him

00:39:38this season

00:39:39but I thought he was excellent

00:39:40when he came on

00:39:41and getting the ball

00:39:42driving with the ball

00:39:43and committing

00:39:44to Chelsea defenders

00:39:45and then

00:39:46they had runners off that

00:39:47they had Morgan Rodgers

00:39:48making runs in behind

00:39:49and then this has got to get squared

00:39:50this gets squared across the goal

00:39:52then they get a tap in

00:39:53and Ollie Watkins here

00:39:54doing what he does best

00:39:56he's making runs in behind

00:39:57and keeping the Chelsea players

00:39:59on their toes

00:39:59and again

00:40:00a little bit of luck

00:40:01but gets a shot off

00:40:02and then

00:40:03Onana again

00:40:04winning the ball back

00:40:05tackling

00:40:05aggressive

00:40:06and then Sancho

00:40:07making the run

00:40:08in off

00:40:09the back of the defenders

00:40:10and again

00:40:11he gets another shot off

00:40:13and then Ollie Watkins

00:40:14a fantastic

00:40:15had a great corner

00:40:16into the penalty box

00:40:17and a wonderful

00:40:18letter to go and win the game

00:40:19so Aston Villa

00:40:20were excellent

00:40:21especially that last 30 minutes

00:40:22On Ollie Watkins

00:40:24no player wants to

00:40:25start a match on the bench

00:40:26but does he give his manager

00:40:27Unai Emery

00:40:28any kind of dilemma

00:40:29ahead of Arsenal

00:40:30when he makes that kind of impact

00:40:31He does

00:40:32and I think we need to see

00:40:33more from him

00:40:34this season

00:40:34because he has started games

00:40:35and he hasn't scored goals

00:40:37but he's on the bench today

00:40:38and he's answered as manager

00:40:40in the right way

00:40:41he's scored two goals

00:40:42and won Aston Villa

00:40:42the game

00:40:43I guess he'll start

00:40:43in the next game

00:40:44As for Chelsea

00:40:46Alan

00:40:46a familiar feeling

00:40:47for their fans today

00:40:48Yeah

00:40:49that's the

00:40:49fourth time at home

00:40:51they've been 1-0 up

00:40:52and lost the game

00:40:53so that has to change

00:40:55if they've got any ambition

00:40:56of getting in the top four

00:40:57OK

00:40:58well

00:40:59it was eight games

00:41:00without a win

00:41:01for Bournemouth

00:41:02who'd never beaten

00:41:03today's opponents

00:41:04Brentford

00:41:04in the Premier League

00:41:05Robin Cowan

00:41:06was at the GTech

00:41:06Community Stadium

00:41:07It's been 20 years

00:41:10since Bournemouth

00:41:11beat Brentford

00:41:12away from home

00:41:12so not the fixture

00:41:13Andoni Iriola

00:41:14would have chosen

00:41:15to end their recent

00:41:16poor spell

00:41:17The Bees have already

00:41:18triumphed over the Cherries

00:41:19this term

00:41:20in the EFL Cup

00:41:21In August

00:41:21Igor Thiago

00:41:22scored at the Vitality

00:41:23that night

00:41:24He's currently on his

00:41:25longest run

00:41:26without a goal

00:41:26this season

00:41:27He's failed to net

00:41:28in his last four appearances

00:41:29As well as their

00:41:31long winless streak

00:41:32Bournemouth are contemplating

00:41:33life without

00:41:33their most influential player

00:41:35Antoine Semenyu

00:41:36has been involved

00:41:37in 11 of their

00:41:3726 Premier League

00:41:39goals this season

00:41:39and speculation

00:41:40is rife

00:41:41that he'll leave

00:41:42during the January

00:41:42transfer window

00:41:43with Man City

00:41:44the favourites

00:41:45to trigger

00:41:45a reported

00:41:46£65 million

00:41:47release clause

00:41:49Thiago

00:41:54dropping deep to receive

00:41:57showing really good

00:41:58strength

00:41:59plays in

00:42:02Sharda

00:42:02too strong

00:42:04for Diakite

00:42:05Sharda

00:42:06too strong for Diakite

00:42:14but also had the

00:42:29composure

00:42:29to finish

00:42:31Sharda

00:42:33Sharda

00:42:33has his

00:42:34fourth of the

00:42:34season

00:42:35Brentford

00:42:37have the lead

00:42:38again

00:42:44another Bournemouth move

00:42:46comes to a conclusion

00:42:48Jarmaluk

00:42:49Jensen

00:42:51try to pick out

00:42:53Igor Thiago

00:42:54it's Sharda

00:42:55the block

00:42:56Sharda again

00:42:57and gathered

00:42:58by Petrovic

00:42:59well Brentford

00:43:01really could be

00:43:02three up here

00:43:02playing around

00:43:05Bournemouth at will

00:43:06and that clearance

00:43:07from Sinesi

00:43:08straight to Sharda

00:43:10he got a couple

00:43:10of goes at it

00:43:12and couldn't beat

00:43:13Petrovic

00:43:14Kelleher

00:43:17getting there

00:43:17just in the nick

00:43:18of time

00:43:19fired upfield

00:43:24and that's turned

00:43:24into a really good

00:43:25pass for Igor

00:43:26Thiago

00:43:27Thiago

00:43:28oh it's in

00:43:31well not sure

00:43:36if that will go

00:43:37down as his goal

00:43:38but the scoreline

00:43:40now reflects

00:43:41Brentford's dominance

00:43:42and this goal

00:43:44reflects Bournemouth's

00:43:46state at the moment

00:43:48it was a tight angle

00:43:51the stricken

00:43:53Bournemouth goalkeeper

00:43:54who could do

00:43:54absolutely nothing

00:43:55about that

00:43:56and I believe

00:43:58that will go down

00:43:59as an own goal

00:44:00but

00:44:00all thanks to

00:44:02Thiago's

00:44:04determination

00:44:04five minutes

00:44:06before the break

00:44:07Brentford's lead

00:44:09by two goals

00:44:10to nil

00:44:10Scott

00:44:14trying to get

00:44:15around Henry

00:44:16foul

00:44:19on Alex Scott

00:44:20and Sharda

00:44:21with the

00:44:32one by Collins

00:44:34and the

00:44:34against the touch

00:44:35was heavy

00:44:37and allowed

00:44:38Jimenez to get in

00:44:39although again

00:44:40Brentford do their

00:44:41defensive work

00:44:42and they have a

00:44:44three on two

00:44:45Sharda making

00:44:46good ground

00:44:47Thiago picks

00:44:49it up

00:44:50Sharda

00:44:51devastating

00:44:56from one end

00:45:04to the other

00:45:04Bournemouth are

00:45:06punished

00:45:07with ruthless

00:45:10efficiency

00:45:11by Brentford

00:45:12it looked like the

00:45:14move had broken

00:45:14down here

00:45:15Jimenez got a

00:45:16foot in

00:45:16Thiago involved

00:45:18once again

00:45:19and Sharda

00:45:22has his second

00:45:23and that should be

00:45:27the game for

00:45:27Brentford

00:45:28Alex Scott

00:45:33allowed to

00:45:35progress so far

00:45:36but then it's

00:45:37the red and

00:45:38white wall

00:45:39in front of

00:45:40them

00:45:40hard to

00:45:42break down

00:45:43Brooks delivers

00:45:44though

00:45:44just wide

00:45:46Eva Nielsen

00:45:48with the

00:45:48efforts

00:45:49and a

00:45:49corner has

00:45:49been given

00:45:50so congested

00:45:52in that

00:45:52penalty area

00:45:53oh it's

00:46:00off the

00:46:01post

00:46:01it just

00:46:04won't

00:46:04happen

00:46:05for

00:46:05Bournemouth

00:46:05whipped

00:46:07in by

00:46:31they've

00:46:32marshalled him

00:46:33so well

00:46:34through the

00:46:34entirety of

00:46:35this game

00:46:36Antoine Semenyo

00:46:36but that is

00:46:37his quality

00:46:38back heel

00:46:40from Semenyo

00:46:42who hasn't

00:46:43been disheartened

00:46:43by the fact

00:46:44that he's

00:49:12one was

00:49:12so quick

00:49:13I didn't

00:49:14I didn't

00:49:15even think

00:49:15I just

00:49:16tried to

00:49:16hit it

00:49:16and then

00:49:17yeah

00:49:17the header

00:49:18I saw

00:49:19Dumsey

00:49:21it he did

00:49:21and I just

00:49:23hit it in

00:49:23a day to

00:49:25cherish

00:49:25for Sharder

00:49:26there

00:49:26he didn't

00:49:28necessarily

00:49:28sound like

00:49:29it was

00:49:29though

00:49:30not a load

00:49:30of enthusiasm

00:49:31can you do

00:49:31with any more

00:49:32for us

00:49:33absolutely

00:49:33outstanding

00:49:34as were

00:49:34Brentford

00:49:35I mean

00:49:36they were

00:49:36direct

00:49:37at times

00:49:38and when I

00:49:39say direct

00:49:39I don't mean

00:49:40there was a load

00:49:40of long balls

00:49:41we know

00:49:41Bournemouth

00:49:42liked to press

00:49:42so the way

00:49:43to beat

00:49:44that press

00:49:44is on the

00:49:45odd occasion

00:49:45go long

00:49:47particularly when

00:49:47you've got

00:49:47someone of the

00:49:48strength of

00:49:49Thiago

00:49:49and the pace

00:49:50of Sharder

00:49:51that's prepared

00:49:51to run in

00:49:52behind there

00:49:53you can see

00:49:53the both of them

00:49:53working together

00:49:54brilliant first

00:49:55touch and a

00:49:56great turn

00:49:56not a bad

00:49:58ball in behind

00:49:59either

00:49:59and that's

00:50:01them on the

00:50:01way

00:50:02so that's okay

00:50:02that might be

00:50:03being direct

00:50:04with long ball

00:50:05but I mean

00:50:05with speed

00:50:06and with pace

00:50:07and with everything

00:50:08else that you

00:50:08have to do

00:50:09to beat a team

00:50:10that wants to

00:50:10press

00:50:11there's no

00:50:11messing around

00:50:12it's get it

00:50:13in behind

00:50:13as I said

00:50:14when you've got

00:50:15the willing

00:50:15runners like

00:50:16that

00:50:16and Thiago

00:50:16is really

00:50:17unlucky here

00:50:18I mean

00:50:18it's given

00:50:18as a known

00:50:19goal

00:50:20but he sort

00:50:20of creates

00:50:21all of that

00:50:21it's him

00:50:22that helps

00:50:22put it

00:50:23in the

00:50:23back of the

00:50:24net

00:50:24just look

00:50:25where those

00:50:25two start

00:50:26and then have

00:50:27a look at

00:50:27the five of

00:50:28them when

00:50:28they finish

00:50:29because this

00:50:29is what I

00:50:30mean about

00:50:30the pace

00:50:31and the

00:50:31determination

00:50:32to get

00:50:32forward

00:50:33quickly

00:50:33you can see

00:50:35those two

00:50:35but there's

00:50:36five of them

00:50:37end up in

00:50:37Bournemouth

00:50:38box here

00:50:38ready to put

00:50:39the ball

00:50:40in the

00:50:40back of the

00:50:40net

00:50:40great ball

00:50:42in and a

00:50:42really clever

00:50:43finish

00:50:43once again

00:50:45Henderson

00:50:45came on

00:50:46running

00:50:46in behind

00:50:47again

00:50:47the ball

00:50:48in behind

00:50:48but they

00:51:38distinction

00:51:39Jota's family

00:51:40were at Anfield

00:51:52out onto the Anfield turf

00:51:54on which their father

00:51:55used to shine

00:51:56Wolves fans need no

00:51:59reminding of his talents

00:52:00either

00:52:00in a three year stay

00:52:01with them

00:52:02he more than helped

00:52:03them to promotion

00:52:04and then two top half

00:52:06Premier League finishers

00:52:07for Liverpool

00:52:08two changes

00:52:19takes over

00:52:20from out of form

00:52:20Jürgen Strand-Larsen

00:52:22and there's a first

00:52:23start in the team

00:52:24for 18 year old

00:52:25Matthias Mane

00:52:26Witz

00:52:31Hekateke

00:52:34brilliantly found

00:52:36locked to do

00:52:37he nearly did it

00:52:39Jose Sarr

00:52:42was grasping thin air

00:52:44beautifully weighted

00:52:46pass to him

00:52:47and a really clever

00:52:48attempt to craft

00:52:49the finish

00:52:50in between the two

00:52:51past the goalkeeper

00:52:53inches away

00:52:54Wolves

00:52:56on their longest

00:52:57losing run

00:52:58in their

00:52:58illustrious history

00:53:0011 in a row

00:53:0110 of those

00:53:02in the Premier League

00:53:03this is a

00:53:04worry for Wolves

00:53:05Chiesa has

00:53:07caught Tolu

00:53:08Arakadari

00:53:09a sore one

00:53:11but in the view

00:53:12of the officials

00:53:12not a sinister one

00:53:14Maslott certainly

00:53:15not underestimating

00:53:16his team's opponents

00:53:17today

00:53:18saying about Wolves

00:53:19they've come closer

00:53:20and closer to results

00:53:21and there's a challenge

00:53:23to every Premier League game

00:53:24Mane

00:53:27good attempt

00:53:29well saved by Alisson

00:53:30the teenager

00:53:32sparks into life

00:53:34in the Premier League

00:53:35for the first time

00:53:35wouldn't that be a thing

00:53:37Mane scoring at Anfield

00:53:39against Liverpool

00:53:40and Edwards

00:53:41who is one of those

00:53:43unlucky or lucky

00:53:44people who celebrates

00:53:45a Christmas Day

00:53:46birthday

00:53:46just turned 43

00:53:48and it's Wolves fans

00:53:52on 90 minutes

00:53:53who start with the

00:53:54big booming chant

00:53:55of Diogo

00:53:56and then the clock

00:54:00ticks around to 20

00:54:01Liverpool fans

00:54:03will serenade

00:54:04their former star

00:54:04as well

00:54:05well this is quite

00:54:07something

00:54:08this really is

00:54:09the whole of the ground

00:54:10standing

00:54:11and chanting

00:54:12and singing

00:54:13about the late

00:54:14Diogo Jota

00:54:15I think he'll be happy-ish

00:54:20with the way things are going

00:54:21Liverpool kept out

00:54:23that's the thing

00:54:24that will please him most

00:54:26and Matthias Mane

00:54:28has had one shot

00:54:29on target

00:54:29at the other end

00:54:30and he's in business

00:54:31again here

00:54:32and doing really well

00:54:35that one's not on target

00:54:36but

00:54:37how about this young man's

00:54:38confidence

00:54:39he's the bright wolves

00:54:41light today

00:54:42certainly his eighth

00:54:44senior game

00:54:44his first from the start

00:54:46they could be forgiven

00:54:48for giving up

00:54:49on this season

00:54:50but a full compliment

00:54:51has come to Anfield

00:54:52today and I'm sure

00:54:53they'll carry on

00:54:54travelling everywhere

00:54:55for the whole of the

00:54:56rest of the season

00:54:57here's a found by Van Dijk

00:55:03Frimpong

00:55:05drifts away from

00:55:07Gio Gomez

00:55:08and takes on Hugo Bueno

00:55:09and pulls it back

00:55:10for Gravenberg

00:55:11Liverpool lead

00:55:13double dodge

00:55:17Frimpong's assist

00:55:19for Gravenberg's finish

00:55:21what a run this is

00:55:24from Jeremy Frimpong

00:55:25mind you the finish

00:55:26isn't bad is it

00:55:27eye of a needle job

00:55:29from Gravenberg

00:55:30no chance for

00:55:31Jose Sarr

00:55:32and what started as

00:55:34slim chance

00:55:35has become even

00:55:36slimmer chance for Wolves

00:55:37Nekatike

00:55:41Nekatike

00:55:45through to Florian

00:55:46Virts

00:55:47there's the moment

00:55:52he's been waiting for

00:55:53Florian Virts

00:55:56his first for the club

00:55:57is back

00:55:58and the Anfield crowd

00:56:00appreciates

00:56:01the graph

00:56:03he's had to put in

00:56:04to acclimatise

00:56:06the Premier League

00:56:06to become

00:56:07a player

00:56:08worthy of wearing

00:56:09that Liverpool

00:56:10number seven shirt

00:56:11he's getting there

00:56:13big boots to follow

00:56:15and that first goal

00:56:16won't help

00:56:17Mane

00:56:20Arakadare

00:56:22Mane

00:56:23feels away

00:56:24wanting the return

00:56:24there was no way

00:56:25past Van Dijk

00:56:26but a Wolves corner

00:56:27and they're

00:56:28showing signs of intent

00:56:29at the start of the second half

00:56:31they did at the start

00:56:31of the first as well

00:56:32one goal at Anfield

00:56:34might

00:56:35turn the tide

00:56:36one goal delivers

00:56:38Alisson can't get through

00:56:40makes the first save

00:56:41but the follow-up

00:56:42is put in

00:56:43by Santiago Bueno

00:56:44Wolves have one

00:56:49it all started because

00:56:52the corner was delivered

00:56:53so well that Alisson felt

00:56:54he couldn't go and get it

00:56:56nicely saved at first

00:56:58but patted down

00:57:00straight to the feet

00:57:01of Santiago Bueno

00:57:02and Bueno scores for Wolves

00:57:05for only the second time

00:57:06to make it Liverpool 2

00:57:08Wolves 1

00:57:09the Reds are

00:57:11just a little bit rattled

00:57:13Frimpong

00:57:15Lugo Bueno has one go

00:57:20second go

00:57:20didn't stop him either

00:57:21corner

00:57:22Jeremy Frimpong

00:57:26has

00:57:26certainly been

00:57:28a player to excite

00:57:31Liverpool fans today

00:57:32McAllister with the corner

00:57:35something different

00:57:36Vietz

00:57:36blocked him behind

00:57:39but

00:57:40there might not have been

00:57:42a deflection

00:57:42I think it was a

00:57:43double hit

00:57:45from Florian Vietz

00:57:46yeah he kicked it

00:57:47onto his standing foot

00:57:48he was waiting to

00:58:04he felt he might have been

00:58:06fouled in the process

00:58:07of trying to strike

00:58:08lovely footwork again

00:58:10from Florian Vietz

00:58:12Gravenberg managed to

00:58:13hold off Mane

00:58:14and miskicked the shot

00:58:16Gomez

00:58:23now finds

00:58:24Mola Vulfa

00:58:25Strand Larsson

00:58:28Zao Gomez

00:58:29here's Chachua

00:58:32and Erika Dare

00:58:33that was a huge chance

00:58:37for Wolves

00:58:38they worked it brilliantly

00:58:40all that was lacking

00:58:43was the finish

00:58:43Liverpool fans

00:58:46young and old

00:58:46like kids on Christmas Eve

00:58:48the time can't go

00:58:49quickly enough

00:58:49looked on by Erika Dare

00:58:54to Strand Larsson

00:58:55Strand Larsson

00:58:57across

00:58:58what a tackle

00:59:00by Bradley

00:59:00John Arias

00:59:02was about

00:59:03to fire Wolves

00:59:04level

00:59:05how many times

00:59:06must Liverpool

00:59:07have the warning shots

00:59:09they are living

00:59:11very dangerously

00:59:12indeed

00:59:12against the Premier League's

00:59:13bottom club

00:59:14players are giving

00:59:17everything

00:59:17they're trying really hard

00:59:18as well

00:59:18and they are showing

00:59:19that they're not

00:59:21caving in

00:59:22they're not going under

00:59:222-0 down at Anfield

00:59:24but you know

00:59:24we fought back

00:59:25to make a real game of it

00:59:27and then we're pushing

00:59:27for an equaliser

00:59:28so you can see

00:59:29they're not going under

00:59:29they're trying

00:59:30and there are signs

00:59:31of improvement there

00:59:32there's no doubt about it

00:59:33but ultimately

00:59:33this game's about

00:59:34getting points

00:59:35and we've not been able

00:59:37to get that so far

00:59:37I was confident

00:59:38that I will score one day

00:59:40but of course

00:59:41I wanted to start earlier

00:59:43scoring and assisting

00:59:45but it was like this

00:59:47and I have to accept it

00:59:49I just know

00:59:50that it will come

00:59:51and I just try to

00:59:53keep going like that

00:59:54what was it like

00:59:55having Diogo Joss's

00:59:56children here today

00:59:57now that was

00:59:58again special

00:59:59after a tragedy

01:00:00happened

01:00:01till now

01:00:02I've seen so many

01:00:03special moments

01:00:04where the fans

01:00:05remembered him

01:00:05or our players

01:00:06conducted themselves

01:00:07unbelievable

01:00:08in all these circumstances

01:00:09and it was again

01:00:11special today

01:00:12to see

01:00:12his children

01:00:13being the mascot

01:00:14and

01:00:15how emotional

01:00:17it was

01:00:17I think already

01:00:18before the game

01:00:19but also definitely

01:00:20in the 20th minute

01:00:21yeah another

01:00:23emotional day

01:00:24today at Anfield

01:00:25but Liverpool

01:00:26did get the win

01:00:26and a first goal

01:00:27for Florian Vert

01:00:28so are we starting

01:00:29to see Wayne

01:00:30the best of him

01:00:30do you think

01:00:31yeah I think we are

01:00:32I think he's had

01:00:33some really good

01:00:34performances this season

01:00:35but he just hasn't

01:00:35got the goals

01:00:36to go with them

01:00:37and he was really

01:00:38impressive today

01:00:39he took up some

01:00:40great positions

01:00:41he was going out wide

01:00:42he was coming in

01:00:43the middle of the pitch

01:00:44and he's starting

01:00:45to get a real good

01:00:46understanding with Kirk

01:00:47as we see him here

01:00:49but I think just

01:00:50some of the positions

01:00:50he was picking up

01:00:51he was causing

01:00:52Wolves problems

01:00:53all game

01:00:53we see him here

01:00:54in behind the Wolves

01:00:55midfield

01:00:56and then Eketike

01:00:56with a great run

01:00:57it's a wonderful pass

01:00:59and Eketike is unlucky

01:01:00with his finish

01:01:02so he's shown glimpses

01:01:04of being a top top player

01:01:05which I think he can be

01:01:07for Liverpool

01:01:07and again here

01:01:08with Kirkus

01:01:09that's brilliant

01:01:11from Eketike

01:01:11and then Vert

01:01:12pulling off the shoulder

01:01:13it's a wonderful pass

01:01:14again from Eketike

01:01:15and then a good finish

01:01:17and then as we see here

01:01:21he's willing to run back

01:01:23and put the work in

01:01:24for his teammates

01:01:24he's defending his own

01:01:26penalty box

01:01:27and then he's out wide

01:01:28blocking crosses

01:01:30so again here with Kirkus

01:01:33the understanding they're getting

01:01:34is really good

01:01:35and some great skill here

01:01:37in the penalty box

01:01:38and then he's unlucky not to get

01:01:41the third goal

01:01:42so I thought he was excellent

01:01:43today

01:01:43yeah and is there

01:01:46a particular challenge

01:01:47you think you've played

01:01:47with players who've come

01:01:49from the Bundesliga

01:01:50that that league presents

01:01:51in terms of how you adapt

01:01:52to the Premier League

01:01:53yeah I remember

01:01:55Bastian Swansager

01:01:57when he first joined

01:01:58Manchester United

01:01:59and he was surprised

01:02:01at the pace of the Premier League

01:02:02and he liked to get his foot

01:02:03on the ball

01:02:04and slow the game down

01:02:05and you know

01:02:06sometimes you need time

01:02:08to adapt to it

01:02:08yeah

01:02:09okay

01:02:09well the last time

01:02:11West Ham had just 13 points

01:02:13at Christmas

01:02:13they were relegated

01:02:14Fulham were looking to win

01:02:15three in a row

01:02:16for the first time this season

01:02:17Simon Brotherton

01:02:18was at the London Stadium

01:02:19West Ham have won

01:02:21six of the last

01:02:22seven home meetings

01:02:23with Fulham

01:02:24and how they need

01:02:25another three points today

01:02:26but the visitors

01:02:27travel across London

01:02:28in fine form

01:02:29and have won

01:02:30their last two

01:02:31away from home

01:02:32Nuno Espirito Santo

01:02:34goes with the same 11

01:02:35that started last week's

01:02:36defeat at Manchester City

01:02:38Jared Bowen

01:02:39has scored in six

01:02:40of the last dozen

01:02:41home matches

01:02:42in the Premier League

01:02:43but hasn't been on the

01:02:44winning side

01:02:44in any of them

01:02:45Fulham were waiting

01:02:46on the fitness

01:02:48on the knee

01:02:50but he's been declared

01:02:51fit to start

01:03:24look for an angle

01:03:24to get a shot in

01:03:26one as well

01:03:27and an excellent

01:03:28fingertip save

01:03:29from Alphonse Arreola

01:03:31struck beautifully

01:03:33by Harry Wilson

01:03:34saved superbly

01:03:48West Ham start

01:03:50to threaten

01:03:51unleash it

01:03:52Bernd Leno tested

01:03:57for the first time

01:03:58in the match

01:03:59this by the way

01:04:02is the sixth

01:04:02London derby

01:04:03of the season

01:04:04for West Ham

01:04:04and they've lost

01:04:06intercepted by

01:04:09Jean-Claire Tadebo

01:04:10in the nick of time

01:04:11nicely done

01:04:12Mateus Fernandes

01:04:13and Paqueta

01:04:14away to Scarls

01:04:16who looks

01:04:16for Jared Bowen

01:04:18Bowen in for

01:04:20West Ham

01:04:20and it's just

01:04:21just denied

01:04:24but the flag

01:04:24has gone up

01:04:25was a tight one

01:04:27he's just offside

01:04:28it was a good save

01:04:31the crowd a bit more

01:04:33energised by the

01:04:34efforts of their team

01:04:34Paqueta

01:04:35well

01:04:36that was an interesting

01:04:37one there

01:04:38Paqueta going to ground

01:04:39the referee initially

01:04:40not looking as though

01:04:41he was about to award

01:04:42a free kick at all

01:04:43not the heaviest

01:04:45of touches

01:04:45now what can West Ham

01:04:48do with this one

01:04:49Freddie Potts

01:04:50sends it in

01:04:51Kilman getting up

01:04:52well

01:04:52Somerville

01:04:53oh

01:04:54and Magasa

01:04:55was right on the line

01:04:56Potts floating it

01:04:59into the penalty area

01:05:00prodigious leak

01:05:01from Kilman

01:05:02West Ham knocking

01:05:04on Fulham's door

01:05:05here

01:05:05two wins

01:05:07in the last three games

01:05:08for Marco Silva's team

01:05:09Anderson

01:05:16Anderson's going to have a go

01:05:17Arreola keeps it out

01:05:18Wilson's almost in

01:05:19and able to pounce

01:05:20well that suddenly

01:05:21turned into a very

01:05:22tricky moment there

01:05:23for Alphonse Arreola

01:05:24Anderson who hasn't

01:05:25scored since the third

01:05:26round of the FA Cup

01:05:28right at the start

01:05:28of the year

01:05:29almost had himself

01:05:30a goal

01:05:30in the last few days

01:05:32of 2025

01:05:33wrapped up on a chilly

01:05:36afternoon

01:05:36not been a great

01:05:39fixture over the years

01:05:40in modern times

01:05:41for Fulham

01:05:42this one

01:05:42West Ham away

01:05:43they've only won

01:05:44on one of their last

01:05:4614 visits in the

01:05:47Premier League

01:05:48oh Magasa's done

01:05:53really well here

01:05:54good save by Leno

01:05:56Wilson goes down

01:05:57Fulham get it away

01:05:58and Jimenez has it

01:05:59Kevin is ahead of him

01:06:00now and that's a

01:06:01vital interception

01:06:02off the heel of

01:06:03Jean-Claire Todibo

01:06:04West Ham throw

01:06:07Kevin thought it was his

01:06:08and here comes

01:06:11Walker-Peters now

01:06:13the chase for Magasa

01:06:15and it's just gone

01:06:18wide

01:06:18West Ham so close

01:06:23to breaking the

01:06:24deadlock

01:06:25Magasa did really

01:06:27well

01:06:27sending it across

01:06:28the face of the goal

01:06:29the save there

01:06:31by Bernd Leno

01:06:31and then

01:06:34the second one

01:06:37here

01:06:37the flick from

01:06:38Jared Bowen

01:06:39just past the post

01:06:41Magasa loses it

01:06:45Smith Rowe

01:06:45here's Sasha Lukic

01:06:47support from

01:06:48Robinson

01:06:49five Fulham players

01:06:51inside the box

01:06:52it was a stretch

01:06:53for Kilman

01:06:54but he's able to

01:06:55get it away

01:06:55Callum Wilson

01:06:59collecting

01:07:00Wilson looks to be

01:07:01away from Cuenca

01:07:02it's Callum Wilson

01:07:03and it's just wide

01:07:05they certainly look

01:07:08more threatening

01:07:09though

01:07:10Joachim Anderson

01:07:15nicely done

01:07:17Wilson sending it

01:07:19across

01:07:20they'll get a second

01:07:22a chance to do so

01:07:23and it's Raul Jimenez

01:07:24again

01:07:25with five minutes

01:07:28to go

01:07:29right place

01:07:30right time

01:07:301-0 Fulham

01:07:31Harry Wilson

01:07:33sent it across

01:07:34initially cut out

01:07:35second opportunity

01:07:36and it was

01:07:37beautifully flighted

01:07:38and Jimenez

01:07:40pounced

01:07:40it's what he does

01:07:42and it might be

01:07:43the goal

01:07:43to secure

01:07:44another away win

01:07:45for Fulham

01:07:46in what is turning

01:07:47out to be

01:07:48an excellent spell

01:07:49in this Premier League

01:07:51season for them

01:07:52but what a hammer

01:07:53blow for the hosts

01:07:54it wasn't the greatest

01:07:56game

01:07:56I think there was

01:07:57a few chances

01:07:59but not a lot

01:08:00happened in the game

01:08:01so I feel like

01:08:02from our point of view

01:08:03if we can't win it

01:08:04let's not lose it

01:08:06but we also knew

01:08:07that it was going

01:08:08to take maybe

01:08:08a mistake from them

01:08:09or a moment from us

01:08:11and yeah it was great

01:08:12when I put that ball

01:08:13in to see Raul waiting

01:08:14and I knew from there

01:08:15he was going to find

01:08:16the back limit

01:08:17Raul again

01:08:18he gives everything

01:08:19for the shirt

01:08:20he's a very hard worker

01:08:21his work ethic

01:08:22he's unbelievable

01:08:22for a player

01:08:23at his age

01:08:23he needs goals

01:08:24like all the strikers

01:08:25in the world

01:08:25and he goes to get

01:08:26the boost of confidence

01:08:27and to be more confident

01:08:28on the pitch

01:08:29I'm very pleased for him

01:08:30because he deserves

01:08:31all the credits

01:08:31what a tough one to take

01:08:32so late in the game

01:08:33so little time to do

01:08:35anything about it

01:08:35yeah he comes after

01:08:38some chances that we have

01:08:39during the second half

01:08:41and we've been punished

01:08:43by a mistake

01:08:43and we lose the game

01:08:45the player looked very

01:08:46very upset at the end

01:08:47yes of course

01:08:49shows that he cares a lot

01:08:50of course

01:08:51everybody cares

01:08:52and it's not about that

01:08:54it's about the situation

01:08:56that we are

01:08:56and everything bad

01:08:59happens to us

01:09:00we have to react

01:09:02the good part is

01:09:03that we play another game

01:09:04in today's time

01:09:05so another chance

01:09:07to give back

01:09:08to our offense

01:09:08well we should say

01:09:10first of all

01:09:11a great result

01:09:12for Fulham

01:09:12that's three wins

01:09:13on the bounce

01:09:14for them

01:09:14into the top half

01:09:15of the table

01:09:15it didn't seem so long ago

01:09:16that they were having

01:09:17a really rocky time

01:09:18but of course today

01:09:20they exploited a bit

01:09:20of inexperience

01:09:21in that West Ham

01:09:22yeah and that's

01:09:22what's cost West Ham

01:09:24today

01:09:24as you said

01:09:24great win for Fulham

01:09:25but young

01:09:26Oli Sculls

01:09:27get sort of

01:09:28dragged out of position

01:09:29there

01:09:29which okay

01:09:30then they recover

01:09:31they get in behind

01:09:33but it's the next

01:09:34error

01:09:35that is

01:09:35is the one

01:09:36that's the one

01:09:37that is going to be

01:09:37looked at

01:09:38and brilliant

01:09:39ball in from

01:09:40Harry Wilson

01:09:41and a great header

01:09:42but you know

01:09:43it's not

01:09:44that won't be

01:09:44his last mistake

01:09:45at all

01:09:46we all

01:09:46everyone's made mistakes

01:09:48as tough as it is

01:09:48you have to

01:09:49get over it

01:09:50and what I would say

01:09:51as upset as he is

01:09:5311 defeats

01:09:54this year

01:09:55at home

01:09:56for West Ham

01:09:57is not his fault

01:09:58and the league position

01:09:59they're in

01:09:59at the moment

01:10:00is not his fault

01:10:01so as tough as it is

01:10:03he has to get over it

01:10:04what would you say

01:10:05to him Wayne

01:10:05as a senior pro

01:10:06yeah you've just

01:10:08got to move on

01:10:09for me

01:10:09you know

01:10:09we've all made mistakes

01:10:11as players

01:10:11and obviously

01:10:12that mistake

01:10:12has cost a goal

01:10:13and he'll have to

01:10:14move on quickly

01:10:15as the manager said

01:10:16they've got another

01:10:17game coming up

01:10:18very shortly

01:10:18yeah

01:10:19okay

01:10:19thank you very much

01:10:20well Burnley

01:10:21with seven points

01:10:22from safety

01:10:23ahead of kick-off

01:10:24against Everton

01:10:24Stephen Wyeth

01:10:25was at Turfmoor

01:10:26the first of two

01:10:29festive home games

01:10:30to offer Burnley

01:10:31hope of stimulating

01:10:32a recovery

01:10:33three changes

01:10:34from the side

01:10:34that ended a run

01:10:35of seven successive

01:10:36defeats

01:10:37in come Armando

01:10:38Breuer

01:10:38who scored the

01:10:39equaliser at Bournemouth

01:10:40and Marcus Edwards

01:10:41and Bashir Humphreys

01:10:42for full Premier League

01:10:44debuts

01:10:44Everton's incentive

01:10:46is the paltry

01:10:47five-point gap

01:10:48between them

01:10:48and the top four

01:10:49however David Moyes

01:10:51options are further

01:10:52limited by the absence

01:10:53of Jack Grealish

01:10:54with what he described

01:10:55as a virus

01:10:56Tyler Dibbling

01:10:57replaces him

01:10:58with Beto

01:10:58getting a first start

01:11:00since October

01:11:00both of these clubs

01:11:03have been guilty

01:11:04of lethargy

01:11:05at this time

01:11:06of the year

01:11:06six defeats

01:11:07in seven

01:11:08between Christmas

01:11:09and New Year

01:11:10for Burnley

01:11:10Everton are winless

01:11:12in six

01:11:13that's tremendous

01:11:15work from Breuer

01:11:16Armando Breuer

01:11:22kind of like

01:11:23a man possessed

01:11:24but losing out there

01:11:26and Alcalá's

01:11:27can carry it forward

01:11:28for Everton

01:11:29who are going rapidly

01:11:30from one end

01:11:31of the field

01:11:32to the other

01:11:32Dibbling

01:11:37Oh it's flashed

01:11:40agonisingly

01:11:40across the face

01:11:41of goal

01:11:42Beto

01:11:42so close

01:11:44to a decisive touch

01:11:45first time

01:11:47that Tyler Dibbling

01:11:48has got on the ball

01:11:49in a threatening

01:11:50position

01:11:50for Everton

01:11:51but this is certainly

01:11:53the closest

01:11:53that we've come

01:11:54to a goal

01:11:54so far

01:11:55considering how many

01:11:57goals his side

01:11:58have given up

01:11:59in recent times

01:12:00the fact that

01:12:01they haven't conceded

01:12:02in the first half

01:12:03will certainly be

01:12:04the silver lining

01:12:05that Scott Parker

01:12:06is squinting at

01:12:08Kyle Walker

01:12:12has done well

01:12:13Edwards

01:12:14fortunate the ball

01:12:16bounced

01:12:17to Uga Chukwu

01:12:18and then back

01:12:18towards him

01:12:19and then the pass

01:12:20is sensational

01:12:21and Jakob Brun Larsson

01:12:23has lifted

01:12:23a glorious chance

01:12:25over the crossbar

01:12:26will Scott Parker's

01:12:28side

01:12:29get a better opportunity

01:12:30than that

01:12:31Brun Larsson

01:12:32given the benefit

01:12:33of the doubt

01:12:34that he was onside

01:12:35and has Pickford

01:12:36advanced

01:12:37and with plenty

01:12:39of the goal

01:12:40to lift the ball

01:12:40into

01:12:41instead he cleared

01:12:43the frame

01:12:44his team have

01:12:46given him some hope

01:12:47here we go Chukwu

01:12:50Florentino

01:12:52oh

01:12:54taken away from him

01:12:56Irribunum

01:12:56chances for Everton

01:12:58no doubt about it

01:12:59Irribunum for Dwight

01:13:00McNeil

01:13:00Irribunum

01:13:02oh so clever

01:13:03from Beto

01:13:04and it's taken

01:13:05exceptional reactions

01:13:07from Dubravka

01:13:07to turn the ball aside

01:13:09well he's

01:13:11been struggling

01:13:12for goals

01:13:12Beto

01:13:13but he

01:13:13so nearly

01:13:14brilliantly

01:13:15conjured one there

01:13:16and they have huffed

01:13:18and puffed

01:13:18have Burnley

01:13:19they say have been

01:13:20better defensively

01:13:21today than of late

01:13:22they haven't been able

01:13:24to marry that

01:13:25and he's scoring

01:13:26at the other end

01:13:27and a super pass

01:13:28from Garner

01:13:29Antiano Barry

01:13:30is in

01:13:31and Buckford

01:13:33the Bravka

01:13:33would have put

01:13:34Everton in front

01:13:35Antiano Barry

01:13:37off the bench

01:13:38very nearly

01:13:41placing the ball

01:13:42beyond the reach

01:13:43at the Bravka

01:13:43Dibling's going to

01:13:46get this for Everton

01:13:47he's got Lucas

01:13:49Perez

01:13:49momentarily isolated

01:13:50he's away from him

01:13:53and still going

01:13:54Dibling

01:13:55collision

01:13:56Everton

01:13:57free kick

01:13:58Greg Portsman

01:13:59just gave himself

01:14:00a moment or two

01:14:01to consider that

01:14:02decision

01:14:03Garner and McNeil

01:14:05standing over

01:14:06the free kick

01:14:06and will be McNeil

01:14:09whipping it in

01:14:10and it took a glance

01:14:13to send the ball

01:14:14just beyond the far

01:14:15post and that touch

01:14:16was Sopha Burnley

01:14:17defender

01:14:18that was vicious

01:14:19from McNeil

01:14:20Garner with the corner

01:14:23Diblaevka comes

01:14:24Tyler Dibling

01:14:25charged down

01:14:27and then as he

01:14:30half appeals

01:14:30for handball

01:14:31he's then

01:14:32stirred back

01:14:34into action

01:14:35and there is a

01:14:36check in the

01:14:37background for

01:14:37whether or not

01:14:38this is worthy

01:14:39of a penalty

01:14:39kick

01:14:39ferocious shot

01:14:41from Dibling

01:14:41and I don't think

01:14:43there's any debate

01:14:43over whether or not

01:14:45the ball struck

01:14:45the arm here

01:14:46of Jadon Antony

01:14:47it's whether or not

01:14:49it struck his arm

01:14:50in an unnatural

01:14:51position

01:14:51to Burnley's

01:14:53considerable relief

01:14:55that has been

01:14:56quite quickly

01:14:57checked and

01:14:58cleared

01:14:58no penalty

01:15:00final minute

01:15:02of the 90

01:15:03Garner

01:15:06Patterson

01:15:08that would have

01:15:10been a story

01:15:11moments after his

01:15:14long awaited

01:15:15reintroduction

01:15:15Jadon Antony

01:15:17there's a chance

01:15:18here for Burnley

01:15:18Zian Fleming

01:15:19is in

01:15:21and has come

01:15:23as close

01:15:24to scoring

01:15:25as it is

01:15:26possible to come

01:15:27it might have

01:15:29taken some unpicking

01:15:30as to whether or not

01:15:31Fleming was offside

01:15:32the on-field decision

01:15:33was that

01:15:34he had gone beyond

01:15:35the defensive line

01:15:36the Burnley

01:15:38substitute

01:15:38this close

01:15:40to stroking the ball

01:15:42into the back

01:15:42of the net

01:15:43it has finished

01:15:44at Turf Moor

01:15:45Burnley 0

01:15:46Everton 0

01:15:47David

01:15:48what's your initial

01:15:48assessment of that

01:15:49a slow burner

01:15:50you wouldn't want

01:15:52to watch too much

01:15:53of that

01:15:53certainly from

01:15:54our point of view

01:15:55Burnley might have

01:15:56different thoughts

01:15:56on how they were

01:15:57but from our point

01:15:59of view

01:15:59it wasn't a good

01:16:00performance

01:16:00we have been

01:16:01playing quite well

01:16:02recently

01:16:02but today wasn't

01:16:04one of our best

01:16:05I thought we was

01:16:06a dominant team

01:16:07today

01:16:07I thought we showed

01:16:08an endeavour about us

01:16:09we showed a will

01:16:09about us

01:16:10we understood

01:16:11where we currently

01:16:12are and what we

01:16:12need to be

01:16:13and for that

01:16:14that's progression

01:16:15really for this

01:16:16group

01:16:16so

01:16:17while of course

01:16:18we can be a little

01:16:19bit downbeat

01:16:20in terms of

01:16:21the chances

01:16:22we created

01:16:22and not putting

01:16:23them away

01:16:23we've created

01:16:25them

01:16:25and we've also

01:16:26we've took a very

01:16:28good team here

01:16:29right to it

01:16:30really

01:16:30so

01:16:31yeah I'm

01:16:32encouraged by that

01:16:32back to back

01:16:33draws for Burnley

01:16:34but with so many

01:16:35key players missing

01:16:36for Everton

01:16:37was that missed

01:16:38opportunity for Scott

01:16:39Parker's team

01:16:39yeah I think it was

01:16:40and you know

01:16:41Everton had Jack

01:16:41Brealish out

01:16:42N'Day

01:16:42Garner

01:16:43Guy

01:16:43Dewsbury

01:16:44Hall

01:16:44so I think it was

01:16:45a missed opportunity

01:16:46a good chance for Burnley

01:16:48to pick up

01:16:49three points

01:16:50and they were wasteful

01:16:52Brun Larsson

01:16:52he's got a great

01:16:54opportunity to score

01:16:55and he's wasted

01:16:56that opportunity

01:16:57and then

01:16:59and this one

01:17:00right at the end

01:17:01whether he was

01:17:01onside or offside

01:17:03remains to be seen

01:17:04but

01:17:04he has to score

01:17:06and

01:17:07Burnley had

01:17:0816

01:17:09if you look at

01:17:12he had

01:17:1216 shots today

01:17:13and not one on target

01:17:14the expected goals

01:17:16today was up

01:17:16it was 1.65

01:17:17and

01:17:17touches in the

01:17:19opposition's box

01:17:19was high as well

01:17:21but

01:17:21no shots on target

01:17:22from 16

01:17:23that's

01:17:23that's not good enough

01:17:24a nice trip

01:17:25St James' Park next

01:17:26oh no

01:17:28they're at home

01:17:28sorry

01:17:29they're home

01:17:29Turf Moor

01:17:30yeah

01:17:30okay

01:17:31well that changes

01:17:31everything then

01:17:32okay

01:17:34time for last night's

01:17:35action

01:17:40more games than

01:17:40Newcastle United

01:17:42Tom Gale

01:17:42was at Old Trafford

01:17:44Ruben Amorim

01:17:46says it's impossible

01:17:47to replace Bruno

01:17:48Fernandes

01:17:49statistically

01:17:50the Premier League's

01:17:51most creative player

01:17:52this season

01:17:52who could miss

01:17:53the next five games

01:22:03Manchester United and Newcastle United

01:22:07player are down

01:22:08and the referee stops play

01:22:09Newcastle United are appealing for handball

01:22:14and it does involve

01:22:18Lissandro Martinez

01:22:20it does make contacts

01:22:22with his arm

01:22:23but I'm not sure what he can do there

01:22:25they are checked and cleared

01:22:28they are happy with the on-field decision

01:22:30pick the way through here

01:22:38Gordon with a chance

01:22:39and it's just rolled straight across the Manchester United

01:22:45six-yard box

01:22:47that was his moment there

01:22:49Anthony Gordon

01:22:50Dorku

01:22:52Dorku

01:22:56cynically fouled there by

01:23:00Sandro Tonali

01:23:02not quite sure what his remonstrations are for

01:23:04it's a clear yellow card for the Italian

01:23:08Martinez

01:23:10spots Dallow

01:23:11finds Dallow

01:23:12good for his touch

01:23:13what a moment

01:23:18excellent spot

01:23:20from the Manchester United

01:23:22captain Martinez

01:23:23look at that first touch

01:23:24could that come back to haunt

01:23:26Manchester United here on Boxing Day

01:23:28I thought we should have come away with something

01:23:53but we only have ourselves to blame for that

01:23:55it's a frustrating game

01:23:57because I thought in the first half

01:23:58I thought it was there for us to grab

01:24:00and we didn't

01:24:00I was disappointed with our performance at half-time

01:24:02second half was a lot stronger

01:24:04I thought we dominated the game

01:24:05in terms of possession and chances

01:24:07and it was just that elusive first goal for us

01:24:09I think if we get it at any stage in the game

01:24:11the win's there for us

01:24:12but we didn't

01:24:13and they defended well

01:24:14it felt amazing

01:24:15I just want to thank God

01:24:16thank my family

01:24:17and me as well

01:24:19to keep working hard

01:24:20even though it's been tough

01:24:21the last recent weeks

01:24:23and yeah

01:24:24just keep going

01:24:24and build more confidence

01:24:25for this

01:24:26it was the opposite of many games that we have

01:24:29especially at home

01:24:30when we play better

01:24:32we create more chances

01:24:33and we didn't get the three points

01:24:35today I think it was the opposite

01:24:36I think we did a good

01:24:38just good first half

01:24:40and then the second half

01:24:41we suffered altogether

01:24:42with the fans

01:24:43with all the guys in the bench

01:24:44we managed to win

01:24:45so they move into the top six

01:24:48Wayne

01:24:48but what were your thoughts

01:24:49on the performance last night

01:24:51I was worried when I seen the performance

01:24:53if I'm being honest

01:24:54and

01:24:54I think he changed

01:24:56the manager changed the formation

01:24:58and he went with the back four

01:24:59which a lot of people have been asking for

01:25:01but they didn't really

01:25:03I know they didn't concede the goal

01:25:05but they didn't look comfortable

01:25:06and Newcastle were putting them under pressure

01:25:07especially the second half

01:25:08and then

01:25:10when I look at the squad

01:25:11and the bench

01:25:12what they've got there

01:25:14they really need players in

01:25:15to try and help them

01:25:16you know

01:25:17be challenging

01:25:18and try and get in the top four

01:25:20he honestly said before

01:25:23didn't he

01:25:23that he would never

01:25:24play a back four

01:25:25and he did that

01:25:26what kind of point do you think

01:25:28he's making in terms of the youth

01:25:29that was on that bench last night

01:25:30yeah no

01:25:31and listen

01:25:31it's great to see the young players

01:25:33on the bench

01:25:33and get them given an opportunity

01:25:35but it needs to be at the right time as well

01:25:37and

01:25:37it's not

01:25:40it's not sustainable at all

01:25:41I think

01:25:42you know

01:25:42they need players in

01:25:45and they've obviously lost some important players

01:25:46and Bruno is a big loss

01:25:48but

01:25:48this is the home games under Amman

01:25:52and you look at the possession

01:25:53from the Newcastle game

01:25:54it's 33% possession at Old Trafford

01:25:56and

01:25:56you know

01:25:57I know when them fans go to that stadium

01:25:59they want to see the team with the ball

01:26:00they want to see them entertaining

01:26:01getting crosses in the box

01:26:02and getting shots

01:26:03and

01:26:04it was

01:26:04it was a poor performance

01:26:06but they found a way to win

01:26:07they did last night

01:26:08but you're alluding to the fact

01:26:09that that is not sustainable

01:26:10as for Newcastle United

01:26:12there was that kind of familiar pattern

01:26:13to them last night

01:26:15Alan

01:26:15yeah

01:26:16I mean

01:26:17when you're putting

01:26:1946 crosses

01:26:21into the box

01:26:23or attempting 46 crosses

01:26:25then

01:26:25someone has to get on the end

01:26:27of them

01:26:28I mean

01:26:29this is a brilliant ball

01:26:30there weren't that many great balls

01:26:31but this is one of them last night

01:26:32I mean

01:26:33Gordon or Valtomar

01:26:34it has to get on the end of that

01:26:36the movement has to be better

01:26:38same thing again here

01:26:39Gordon might be looking to score

01:26:41but look at the

01:26:41four or five Newcastle players

01:26:43there's not one of them

01:26:44in the six yard box

01:26:45if someone isn't attacking that

01:26:46they're getting a tap in

01:26:47so it's decision making

01:26:49as well as the lack of quality

01:26:50and again

01:26:51that has to be rolled across to Vissa

01:26:53it's not a difficult ball

01:26:54chooses the more difficult chance

01:26:56to pick Gordon out

01:26:58and it is worrying

01:26:59there's no doubt about it

01:27:00particularly

01:27:00they're a home form

01:27:02you can see

01:27:03the crosses there

01:27:04they put in against Manchester United

01:27:05look what they did against Spurs

01:27:07in terms of 40

01:27:08and when you're

01:27:09when you've got that

01:27:10amount of balls wide

01:27:11and putting them in there

01:27:12and you're only taking

01:27:13two points from their four games

01:27:15that tells you

01:27:16that there's a lack of quality

01:27:17and certainly a lack of movement

01:27:19and a lack of desire

01:27:20to get on the end of them

01:27:21is the saving grace for Newcastle

01:27:23that the table at the moment

01:27:25seems so tight

01:27:26that movement can happen

01:27:27very suddenly

01:27:27can't it

01:27:28if you put some form together

01:27:28no absolutely

01:27:29I mean

01:27:29we were talking about

01:27:30Fulham being in a relegation battle

01:27:32two or three weeks ago

01:27:33yet they win three games

01:27:34on the spin

01:27:34and they're in the top half now

01:27:36so that's what Newcastle

01:27:37have to do that

01:27:38I think they've got

01:27:38Burnley Palace

01:27:39Leeds and Wolves

01:27:40in the next four games

01:27:41that is a great opportunity

01:27:43to win some games

01:27:44OK

01:27:44seems like a good time

01:27:46to have a little look

01:27:46at the table

01:27:47doesn't it

01:27:47and well

01:27:49you can see there

01:27:49it's as you were

01:27:50at the top

01:28:01for top half

01:28:02Wolves are just the second side

01:28:03in top flight history
