Transcript

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

00:00:30Well, it may be dry January for some, but our cup overfloweth on Match of the Day tonight.

00:00:50Six games from a brizzy Premier League Sunday, as well as December's Goal of the Month and all the goals from yesterday.

00:00:56And joining me, Shea Given, and making his Match of the Day debut, Gary O'Neill, who scored twice on his Premier League debut.

00:01:02So we are hoping for a similar performance tonight.

00:01:04Yeah, it went all downhill from there, but yeah, it was a good start.

00:01:07No pressure, no pressure.

00:01:08A win for Arsenal yesterday opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

00:01:13Manchester City were looking to reduce that gap against managerless Chelsea, who parted company with Enzo Mareska on New Year's Day.

00:01:19Steve Wilson was at the Etihad.

00:01:21In his long managerial career in three countries, Pep Guardiola has never gone successive seasons without winning a league title.

00:01:31That record is under threat.

00:01:33They sit seven points behind Arsenal.

00:01:36It's eight seasons since Chelsea were champions, in which time they've had six full-time managers.

00:01:41Another is incoming.

00:01:42City make three changes to the XI, which drew at Sunderland on New Year's Day.

00:01:49In come Guardiola, Rodri and Reinders for Ake, Nico Gonzalez and Savinho.

00:01:54Callum McFarlane's time in charge of Chelsea will be short, but he makes five changes to the draw with Bournemouth.

00:02:01Caicedo is suspended again.

00:02:03Sanchez injured, Fofana ill.

00:02:05In come Jürgensen, Badia Shield, James, Pedro Neto and Jrau Pedro.

00:02:09Chelsea have lost eight of their last ten games in this stadium, in all competitions.

00:02:18And I don't think many people would favour them here today.

00:02:23Estevão for Chelsea finds Enzo Fernandes.

00:02:26Pedro Neto is on.

00:02:28Here he is.

00:02:29Matthias Nunez ahead of him.

00:02:34Good ball in that and a chance for Estevão.

00:02:37It's blocked really well by Guardiola.

00:02:41That's the best chance of the game so far and it goes Chelsea's way.

00:02:45And now Manchester City have the situation under control.

00:02:50And that's a great ball from Matthias Nunez.

00:02:52What a pass that is.

00:02:54Erling Haaland arriving.

00:02:55Phil Foden arriving.

00:02:57Here's Foden.

00:02:58Brilliantly done.

00:03:01Well, this would have been a sensational counter-attacking goal.

00:03:05Great awareness by Foden.

00:03:09Well, they've done really well, Chelsea.

00:03:11They've defended sturdily.

00:03:13Bernardo Silva trying to twist Gusto.

00:03:22And he's succeeded in doing so.

00:03:24And he gets the shot away.

00:03:27Well, great work in a very small area from Bernardo Silva.

00:03:32Manages to work that bit of space quite beautifully.

00:03:36Gets a bit of curl but not enough dip.

00:03:43Cherokee's header.

00:03:46Rodri, Foden, Haaland.

00:03:50Deflected.

00:03:51And really well saved by Jürgensen.

00:03:55That big deflection could well have looped over the top of the Chelsea keeper.

00:04:00But he's adjusted here to make a very good save, Philipp Jürgensen.

00:04:04Heavy touch from Achenpong but Jürgensen is there.

00:04:19He's only held it up.

00:04:21Rodri.

00:04:23And Erling Haaland.

00:04:24Oh, goodness me.

00:04:28You don't get any closer than that.

00:04:32Chelsea get a throw in.

00:04:36And the post gets a rattling from Haaland.

00:04:41Oh, brilliant, really.

00:04:43Very unlucky.

00:04:45His next goal will be his 150th for the club.

00:04:49It won't be long in coming, that's for sure.

00:04:51Chelsea have given the ball away.

00:05:01And Cherokee exchanges the touch with Rodri.

00:05:06Badier-Shield's touch.

00:05:09Reinders!

00:05:13Great finish.

00:05:14That is a pretty devastating finish from Tijani, Reinders.

00:05:21And Manchester City break the deadlock.

00:05:24With four minutes of the first half remaining.

00:05:28Well, this really is a splendid goal.

00:05:31Haaland, the threat, Badier-Shield kept it from him but played it straight into Reinders.

00:05:36Is there a little flick of the Chelsea defender as it goes in?

00:05:42Reinders hits it beautifully.

00:05:43It might just be a touch off the toe of Badier-Shield.

00:05:49But it flew into the roof of the net.

00:05:51And Manchester City lead by a goal to nil.

00:05:57O'Reilly's cushioned header down.

00:05:58Gusto's nicked it away from Rodri.

00:06:01Well won back by Guardiola.

00:06:03Now Rodri.

00:06:04And Cole Palmer.

00:06:12Guardiola is down.

00:06:14Enzo Fernandes to Palmer's left.

00:06:16And he plays him in.

00:06:17Enzo Fernandes.

00:06:18Lovely little pirouette.

00:06:20And Pedro Neto has missed it.

00:06:22With the goal gaping.

00:06:23And it really should be one each.

00:06:28Well, Guardiola was on the ground throughout that whole Chelsea attack.

00:06:33Which should have resulted in an equalising goal.

00:06:35Enzo Fernandes did well here.

00:06:41And Pedro Neto simply has to get that on target.

00:06:45Enzo Fernandes got a boot in.

00:06:52But Bernardo Silva would not be denied.

00:06:54Erling Haaland here.

00:06:56Great pace.

00:06:57Tearing away from Canaver.

00:06:59Brilliant run.

00:06:59Good block.

00:07:03Haaland still.

00:07:04Well, O'Reilly has failed to keep the ball in play.

00:07:15I'll talk about explosive here.

00:07:17Erling Haaland collecting the ball.

00:07:20A couple of metres inside his own half.

00:07:22And just driving on with enormous threat.

00:07:27Good block by Badia Shield.

00:07:30Gianluigi Donnarumma forward to Erling Haaland.

00:07:33Beautifully cushioned.

00:07:35Cherky.

00:07:36He's got the pace to get away from Santos.

00:07:38Bernardo Silva's there.

00:07:39Brilliant recovery from Harto.

00:07:42Well, that's outstanding.

00:07:45Great flick here from Erling Haaland.

00:07:48Good pace by Cherky.

00:07:49Too much for Andres Santos.

00:07:51Look how much ground Jor-El Harto made up.

00:07:54Dilap and Coltama and Enzo Fernandes getting forward.

00:08:06Here's Jor-El Harto.

00:08:07And Dilap, good turn, tight angle, Donnarumma save.

00:08:18And those nagging doubts about these three points from Manchester City continue.

00:08:25Chelsea have arguably been the more dangerous side in the second half.

00:08:29Well snubbered by the Italian.

00:08:32Certainly some anxiety around the Etihad right now as Enzo Fernandes finds Pedro Neto.

00:08:44And Jor-El Harto.

00:08:47Harto's cross missed by Cole Palmer.

00:08:50And Dilap couldn't get anything really meaningful on it.

00:08:56That was a real opportunity for Cole Palmer.

00:09:00Chelsea have taken only two points from their last eight league games against Manchester City.

00:09:05They still live in hope of getting one from this.

00:09:08Reece James.

00:09:09Six minutes were indicated.

00:09:10Three of them have been played.

00:09:12Here's Gusto.

00:09:12Oh, excellent.

00:09:14Got away from O'Reilly.

00:09:15There's four in the middle for Chelsea.

00:09:17Gusto.

00:09:18Dilap couldn't get there.

00:09:19Surely from Enzo Fernandes for Chelsea.

00:09:23It's 1-1 in stoppage time.

00:09:26And you cannot say they don't deserve it.

00:09:31Donnarumma is beaten.

00:09:33Fernandes scores.

00:09:34Chelsea and Arsenal celebrate an Enzo Fernandes equaliser.

00:09:40There is a check, of course, possible offside.

00:09:48Enzo Fernandes, at the second attempt, trodded it into the back of the net.

00:09:54And the goal will stand.

00:09:58It's Manchester City 1-1.

00:10:00Chelsea 1-1.

00:10:03Pep, very frustrating finish to the game.

00:10:05It felt like the control got away from you a little bit.

00:10:09Because first half, you were 1-0 up.

00:10:12It could have been more.

00:10:13The control go away for what?

00:10:14Well, I felt you were completely in control of the game at halftime.

00:10:19And they changed shape a little bit.

00:10:21And the momentum of the game changed a bit.

00:10:24I'm not agreed.

00:10:25But it's OK.

00:10:26They scored a goal.

00:10:27That's why you analyze the results.

00:10:29So, of course, they make a step up.

00:10:30We make it more intense in the pressing.

00:10:32They had the chances because we lost two balls in the beginning of the second half.

00:10:37But if you believe they achieved the momentum, OK, you maybe know better than me.

00:10:42We started really well, especially the first half.

00:10:45The second half, it was a bit more open and went more up and down.

00:10:48And still, we created some big opportunities.

00:10:50And, yeah, disappointed that we conceded the goal so late.

00:10:55So, we all know what the week we've had.

00:10:57But the boys were focused.

00:10:59And, yeah, in life, you either drop your heads or you keep going.

00:11:03And for us, we knew what the game plan was today.

00:11:06We knew what we wanted.

00:11:07And, yeah, we done well to get the point.

00:11:09It's credit to the players.

00:11:10Like, imagine what they're feeling at halftime.

00:11:13Manchester City would have a much better team in the first half.

00:11:16Interim coach, all the change that's gone on, all the injuries we've had.

00:11:19But the character they've shown.

00:11:20And they've shown it all week.

00:11:21Like, Rhys, Enzo, Tosin.

00:11:23And the leaders in the group have really pulled it together.

00:11:26So, it's a special, special group of players.

00:11:29A frustrated Pep Guardiola there because City have dropped four points in their last two matches.

00:11:34But Callum McFarlane there had a game plan to frustrate them.

00:11:37And it worked largely in the first half.

00:11:39Yeah, a rookie manager, you know, one chance in a lifetime to managing his Pep Guardiola, perhaps.

00:11:43Away at the edge, he had nothing to lose.

00:11:45But he had a game plan, he definitely had.

00:11:46And City couldn't find a way through.

00:11:48They did eventually with rounders.

00:11:49But at the same time, this was a game plan here.

00:11:51We've seen this for most of the first half.

00:11:53You see a 5-4-1 formation, Gabby.

00:11:55And now you're asking City, can they, are they good enough to play through these lines?

00:11:59Play through the fourths.

00:12:00They're really nice and compact.

00:12:01And you know, you know, Callum McFarlane would have worked on this, you know, leading up to the game.

00:12:04It's a big day for him.

00:12:06But again, there's a lot of turmoil.

00:12:07He says it's at the football club.

00:12:08But there's a clear message.

00:12:08You see the five again.

00:12:10This time, Rinders, Rinders receives the ball.

00:12:13Achimpong jumps out.

00:12:15But you see then, this opportunity, they do get in.

00:12:17But again, they've got enough players back in a defensive position to clear the danger.

00:12:21You see in the middle, we'll see Haaland.

00:12:22You know, 2v1, there's plenty of bodies back, enough to defend the cross.

00:12:26And again, they look comfortable for long periods of the first half, defending against a Manchester City, who we know how good they are going forward.

00:12:33I said to Gary Offer, I said, at some stage, you'll have to feel a punch when you go to Manchester.

00:12:37You see here, they commit six bodies forward, Gabby.

00:12:40That's great if you can get a shot off or get a goal.

00:12:42But what it does do, if you won the tackle, which they do in the edge of the box, now you're buying in trouble.

00:12:47They do get away because they won the tackle high up the pitch.

00:12:49And you think they've escaped the danger.

00:12:51But they never go back into that 5-4-1 formation that we spoke about just previously.

00:12:56And City, again, we know how decisive they are in the forward positions.

00:12:59They move the ball really quickly, get forward.

00:13:01And again, there's a bit of luck at the end of this because it comes off the defender.

00:13:05You see a 4v4 high up the pitch.

00:13:07They're really stretched now at this point, Chelsea.

00:13:08But they nearly get away.

00:13:09A bit of luck, a bit of break.

00:13:11And you think Reinders on your left foot.

00:13:13You know, it's a brilliant finish from him because he's right-footed.

00:13:15And it's a fantastic finish.

00:13:16But again, defensively, I think Chelsea were really strong today in that first half.

00:13:21Pep might have alluded to that.

00:13:22He didn't think there was a momentum shift.

00:13:24But we certainly think there was one.

00:13:25Because 1-0 down at half-time, McFarlane wasn't afraid to make tactical changes.

00:13:29No, I think fair play to him because the easiest part of a manager's job is when you've got time.

00:13:33So when you've got the week to build your prep, like the bit that Shea's just covered there,

00:13:37you've got days to work on that on the training ground.

00:13:39But when it's match day and it's half-time and you're 1-0 down and you need to make a call,

00:13:43he didn't back out of making that call.

00:13:44You know, to take Esteval off, to shift the shape.

00:13:48You can see it here.

00:13:49They've moved Gusto back into his high right-back position rather than being on the left.

00:13:54Esteval has been withdrawn.

00:13:55They've put Santos on to play in that double pivot.

00:13:57And it's allowed Enzo to play higher up the pitch.

00:14:00And then he used that freedom, Enzo, to call Man City real problems.

00:14:03You see here they regain the ball.

00:14:05Cole Palmer rolled in off this right-hand side like he did so well against PSG in the Club World Cup.

00:14:10And now Enzo just using that running power, you know, and he's able to break forward and show great quality.

00:14:15And then Neto will be disappointed with that because I know he's better than that from those areas.

00:14:19And then the introduction of Liam De Lappe as well had a real impact on the game.

00:14:24Caused the centre-backs of Manchester City problems.

00:14:26You see Enzo again here with that running power driving the team forward.

00:14:29Wouldn't have been able to do that in the first half from the lower position he was in.

00:14:33Bit of a longer clip, but they managed to sustain the pressure.

00:14:36Get Enzo on the ball again in a high position and a great ball into Liam De Lappe.

00:14:40And he did cause the centre-backs problems when he came on, Liam.

00:14:42Although Manchester City did lose their two in Guardiola and in Diaz,

00:14:48they did cause the two that came on real problems.

00:14:51And then Gusto, high right-back, he's much better on that side than he is on the left.

00:14:5594th minute, Enzo still using his power and his running power to get himself in a position

00:15:00that allows Chelsea to take a well-earned point away from the Etihad,

00:15:04which is no mean feat for an interim manager on his first day in charge.

00:15:07Yeah, his sixth goal of the season. Look what it means to him there.

00:15:10And there were some lovely scenes at the end as well, we saw with Rhys James obviously making him go over to the Chelsea fans.

00:15:15And you can see as a manager, that must be enormously gratifying when you see the difference your changes have made.

00:15:20Yeah, and that should not be underestimated because that's difficult.

00:15:23He alluded to it in his post-match speech there around how the players would be feeling.

00:15:28You know, you've been completely dominated by Manchester City, you just do that to teams.

00:15:32And then to be able to make a change and be able to make the players believe in that change,

00:15:36and then to produce numbers like that, XG, shots, everything up, touches in the opposition box.

00:15:42So Pep might not have felt the momentum change quite so much, but the stats definitely showed that there was one.

00:15:47Yeah, it might be a short tenure as interim manager because reports are, and we understand that,

00:15:52Liam Rossini is already in London, ready to be announced as Chelsea manager tomorrow,

00:15:56the Strasbourg manager currently, where he's been managing and doing fairly well, Shea, as well.

00:16:02153 matches in his managerial career today, including Hull.

00:16:06So not the most experienced.

00:16:08No, but I think this is Liam's dream.

00:16:10I think all his life is that he's managed at the very highest level.

00:16:12And at Chelsea is one of the biggest jobs you'll get in the Premier League, and maybe in world football.

00:16:17And I think he's ready.

00:16:18You say he's managed 153 games.

00:16:20He's done his apprenticeship, and he's ready to go.

00:16:22He managed a young Strasbourg team as well.

00:16:25Got them into European competition.

00:16:27And I think he'll be buzzing.

00:16:29You talk about the squad of players that Chelsea have.

00:16:31I know they've spent a lot of money, but they've spent well.

00:16:34He's worked with young players at Strasbourg before, and I think he's eager.

00:16:37Did he jump into this position?

00:16:38The group own Strasbourg and Chelsea.

00:16:40They know how he works.

00:16:42They like the way he sets his team up there.

00:16:43He knows how they work.

00:16:44That's important, isn't it?

00:16:45Yeah, it will be important, and that will be a key part to him taking the role, I think.

00:16:48And he's, you know, the Premier League's tough, and he'll find that out.

00:16:52But it's much easier doing it with Chelsea and the top players that you have available to you.

00:16:56There may be an introduction to the Premier League for a promotion with a newly promoted side.

00:16:59So he's going to get a fantastic opportunity at a top club.

00:17:03And obviously we'll see very soon whether he's ready to grasp it.

00:17:07Five more games to come from Sunday after December's Goal of the Month.

00:17:11It's Cherky again.

00:17:22Pass comes here to Diaz.

00:17:24He's slammed out there.

00:17:24What a goal!

00:17:28What a strike!

00:17:29That was Vincent Kompany-esque.

00:17:32Well, it was a belter.

00:17:33Oh, what a goal!

00:17:50The link-up play is absolutely sumptuous here.

00:17:55It is perfection.

00:17:56A bit of space here for Morgan Rodgers.

00:18:06Might have a go at goal!

00:18:07And it's a brilliant strike as well!

00:18:14Rodgers in a lot of space.

00:18:16And how about that for a finish?

00:18:17It's Senghori who clears!

00:18:30Oh!

00:18:30What a hit from Senghori!

00:18:36What a strike!

00:18:37Well, that's an absolute belter.

00:18:39Always looks good, doesn't it, when he comes in off the post.

00:18:42What a free kick, which Chelsea hope will be a profitable one.

00:18:50Rhys James!

00:18:51Oh, it is!

00:18:53It's outstanding from Rhys James!

00:18:58Because that was inch-perfect.

00:19:06What a game!

00:19:07Leaving the ball in a precarious position, but he's kept hold of it.

00:19:12And Morgan Rodgers has kept it in.

00:19:15Head down.

00:19:16It's Rodgers!

00:19:20It's an absolute ripper!

00:19:23He should never score from there.

00:19:25From that position, Rodgers in red-hot form.

00:19:33Dallon with the long throw.

00:19:37Valtimard is headed.

00:19:38Dorku!

00:19:39Dorku!

00:19:42Dorku!

00:19:43Dorku!

00:19:44What a memorable way to score your first Manchester United goal!

00:19:48Where have you been?

00:19:51Can you feel it?

00:19:52Can you feel it?

00:19:53Can you feel it?

00:19:54Can you feel it like this morning?

00:19:56It's depressing.

00:19:57I can't believe it.

00:19:58I can't believe it.

00:19:59I can't believe it.

00:20:00I can't believe it.

00:20:01I can't believe it.

00:20:02It's did that well, though.

00:20:03Stack.

00:20:04Super ball from him.

00:20:06And to Aronson.

00:20:07And to Aronson.

00:20:11And this forward here leads.

00:20:12Aronson.

00:20:13Calvert-Lewin!

00:20:20It's a fabulous team goal.

00:20:22Calvert-Lewin's incredible streak in front of goal continues.

00:20:49Having won three of their last four, Fulham faced a Liverpool side unbeaten in seven in the Premier League.

00:20:54Stephen Wyeth, watch this one.

00:20:58As the temperature has plummeted, Fulham and Liverpool have stayed hot.

00:21:02Two form sides.

00:21:04The hosts endeavour to keep it up with three changes.

00:21:07Kenny Tete is injured, so Timothy Castagna replaces him.

00:21:10Issa Diop returns and Tom Kearney's reward for the equaliser at Palace is a rare league start.

00:21:17Liverpool's form is their best since spring, but they too are stretched.

00:21:21A minor hamstring issue means no Ugo Eketike.

00:21:24Cody Gagpo starts instead.

00:21:26Alexis McAllister and Milos Kerkis replace Jeremy Fringpong and Andy Robinson.

00:21:36Underway a bit behind schedule today at Craven Cottage.

00:21:39A 15 minute delay due to a medical emergency.

00:21:43Not necessarily a fixture you would associate with Premier League heritage, but Fulham against Liverpool in recent times has been a blast.

00:21:53Curtis Jones.

00:21:56Gagpo's made his run and the flag has stayed down.

00:21:59Cody Gagpo is in.

00:22:00And the shot has only just bobbled wide.

00:22:05And that's the kind of chance that really should have at least resulted in a testing of the Fulham goalkeeper.

00:22:12Bernd Leno could watch it go harmlessly wide.

00:22:15And on the slot side on their best run of unbeaten form since their last visit to Craven Cottage.

00:22:25And Fulham ended a 26-match run unbeaten with a 3-2 win.

00:22:31A lovely flip, Raul Jimenez.

00:22:35Wilson is in here.

00:22:36And has fired in but from an offside position.

00:22:41Well Fulham have really bided their time before looking to pounce on Liverpool.

00:22:47And it very nearly happened for them perfectly.

00:22:51Raul Jimenez towards Wilson now.

00:22:54That is going to require a much, much closer inspection.

00:22:59On-field decision was offside.

00:23:03But now the VAR Andy Madley is going to get involved.

00:23:07Because Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkhez both look like they might have been playing Wilson onside.

00:23:14And Fulham are about to receive some very good news.

00:23:19Some very welcome news.

00:23:22Because the on-field decision was wrong and Fulham do lead.

00:23:27Courtesy of a former Liverpool player.

00:23:31Harry Wilson in sparkling recent form in front of goal has scored again.

00:23:37Well for a moment it looked like it was too good to be true when Wilson was bearing down on goal.

00:23:42That was certainly the initial verdict of the referee's assistant.

00:23:49But confirmation Virgil van Dijk the one that was playing him on.

00:23:54And that splendid finish beyond the reach of Alisson is the goal to make it Fulham 1 Liverpool 0.

00:24:00Since the start of November only the top three in the Premier League have picked up more points than Fulham.

00:24:08Fulham remains an option.

00:24:15Fulham remain well organised.

00:24:18From Jobos Light.

00:24:19Charged down by Smithrow.

00:24:20Corner kick.

00:24:21Jobos Light.

00:24:22And headed against the crossbar.

00:24:23Anderson there.

00:24:24Now appeals for a penalty.

00:24:25Fulham survive.

00:24:27McAllister head in hands.

00:24:28Knows how close he was to levelling things up.

00:24:36Bradley.

00:24:37Bradley

00:24:45Bradley.

00:24:46Bradley.

00:24:47Knows how close he was to levelling things up.

00:24:57Bradley.

00:24:58Pouncing on a loose ball and driving at Fulham.

00:25:01And finding Florian Verts.

00:25:05And once again,

00:25:08as the ball finds the back of the net,

00:25:11Liverpool discover that it was from an offside position.

00:25:14Florian Verts this time.

00:25:16The unlucky player in red.

00:25:19And apparently did tremendously well.

00:25:21Arguably deserved an assist for his contribution.

00:25:23But Verts was just beyond Issa Diop.

00:25:27This is just being cleared up.

00:25:30Just in case.

00:25:32Diop's trailing leg was beyond

00:25:34the outstretched right boot of Florian Verts at the critical moment.

00:25:41Once again,

00:25:42the on-field decision is going to be overturned.

00:25:45And Liverpool have an equaliser.

00:25:48And Florian Verts has another Liverpool goal.

00:25:51It has been delivered at a critical moment.

00:25:56Belated jubilation in the away end.

00:25:58It's a muted celebration from Liverpool,

00:26:00who know there is still work to be done.

00:26:02Issa Diop adjudged to have just been playing.

00:26:07Florian Verts onside.

00:26:10And just as in the first half of Fulham,

00:26:13Liverpool's goal has taken some unpicking.

00:26:15But the decision is to award it.

00:26:18And it's Fulham won.

00:26:19Liverpool won.

00:26:24We'll want more than a point now.

00:26:26So dominant have his side been in this second half.

00:26:29Bradley.

00:26:32Yes, sir.

00:26:33Go, go, go, go, go, go.

00:26:35Robinson

00:26:36Superpass

00:26:39Val Jimenez

00:26:40Looks to be in

00:26:42Alisson has come

00:26:43Not dealt with it

00:26:44Wilson

00:26:44Off the bar

00:26:47Who'll get there first

00:26:48Virgil van Dijk

00:26:49So close Fulham to regaining the leap

00:26:53The direct approach

00:26:55Nearly working so effectively

00:26:58Harry Wilson looking to add to his first half goal

00:27:01Denied by the crossbar

00:27:03And van Dijk it was

00:27:05Who made sure that he got to the loose ball

00:27:08The unbeaten runs have taken Liverpool into the top four

00:27:12And Fulham into European contention themselves

00:27:15Which of the two

00:27:16Has the greater desire

00:27:18In the quality

00:27:19To turn

00:27:21The draw into three points

00:27:24Time running out

00:27:26But there is still time

00:27:28Kravendare

00:27:30And Bradley

00:27:34For Frimpong

00:27:36Quality cross required

00:27:37And that is a quality cross

00:27:40Which looks to have produced a match winning moment for Cody Gapot

00:27:46Liverpool lead

00:27:51Having been behind

00:27:53And in stoppage time

00:27:55At Craven Cottage

00:27:56Appeared to have got the job done

00:27:58The man asked to fulfil the role

00:28:01Of centre forward today

00:28:03Has responded with a goal

00:28:05At a critical moment

00:28:06Of vicious delivery

00:28:08That Gapot was alert to

00:28:11Showing the instincts required

00:28:15To step forward

00:28:17Late on in the game

00:28:18And score for Liverpool

00:28:21A goal

00:28:21That looks to have secured for them

00:28:24A fifth win in eight

00:28:25Having scored

00:28:30And having been cautioned

00:28:31As a consequence

00:28:32Cody Gapot is going to be withdrawn

00:28:35But he can leave

00:28:37With the acclaim

00:28:38Of the travelling support

00:28:39They feel as though

00:28:41It's job done

00:28:42Robinson's throw

00:28:49To Kevin

00:28:50And then we'll feel

00:28:53Defeat is harsh on them

00:28:55Harrison Reid

00:28:55From distance

00:28:56An exceptional goal

00:29:01From the most

00:29:02Unlocally source

00:29:04A how

00:29:06And well

00:29:07Moment

00:29:07From Harrison Reid

00:29:08Just as the points

00:29:11Look gone

00:29:11For Fulham

00:29:12They have responded

00:29:14Almost immediately

00:29:16In the groove

00:29:17But they simply

00:29:18Don't know at the moment

00:29:19When they are beaten

00:29:20Sent on

00:29:22To provide

00:29:24Some midfield

00:29:25Energy late in the game

00:29:26And instead

00:29:27It is Harrison Reid

00:29:29Who has scored

00:29:31The most

00:29:31Improbable

00:29:33Late equaliser

00:29:34A near perfect strike

00:29:36Better than anything

00:29:37He could possibly

00:29:38Have dreamed

00:29:39Of delivering

00:29:39An exceptional goal

00:29:42To make it

00:29:43Fulham to

00:29:44Liverpool to

00:29:45Have you ever hit a ball

00:29:48Better than that

00:29:49It fell nice off the foot

00:29:50And then I was just praying

00:29:51It went in the top corner

00:29:52To see it dip in

00:29:53Obviously circumstances

00:29:54As well

00:29:55Amazing feeling

00:29:56I will tell you

00:29:58I've been practising

00:29:59I've been practising

00:29:59In training

00:29:59The boys

00:29:59The boys know it

00:30:01They've seen it as well

00:30:01So I just had to get my chance

00:30:03He says he's been practising

00:30:04Is that what you sent him on to do?

00:30:06It's not the first time

00:30:07That you see it

00:30:08To be honest

00:30:08Yesterday of course

00:30:09It's a moment

00:30:10That they use

00:30:11In the end of the minus one session

00:30:13To do something

00:30:14Of course

00:30:15If you ask me

00:30:16Of course

00:30:16I didn't put him

00:30:17Thinking that he's going to score

00:30:18That goal

00:30:18But of course

00:30:19That is poor inspiration

00:30:20From him

00:30:21And he deserves all the credits

00:30:22I think we fought very hard

00:30:24In the second half

00:30:24We were dominating

00:30:26At moments

00:30:27Trying to create chances

00:30:29To go through

00:30:29And at the end

00:30:31I scored I think

00:30:3290 plus 5

00:30:33The moment I sat down

00:30:35On the bench

00:30:35They scored

00:30:36Wonderful goal

00:30:37To be fair

00:30:37We were 2-1 up

00:30:38And having to defend

00:30:40A long throw in

00:30:41Which we expected

00:30:42And we brought Joe Gomez in

00:30:45Because he's of course

00:30:46He's very good for the air

00:30:47But they didn't take it long

00:30:50They took it short

00:30:51And it was an incredible strike

00:30:53The boys should deserve

00:30:55To get a reward

00:30:56Once in a while

00:30:57But unfortunately

00:30:58We don't get it

00:30:59And the only ones to blame

00:31:01Is ourselves as well

00:31:02Because we concede

00:31:03In these moments

00:31:04But fighting so hard

00:31:06To be 2-1 up

00:31:07It's unbelievable

00:31:09That every time

00:31:10Then the ball goes in

00:31:10In the end

00:31:11But it was

00:31:13A truly magnificent goal

00:31:15Harrison Reid coming in

00:31:16With the heroics

00:31:17Of Harrison Ford

00:31:18With that goal

00:31:19At 92 minutes

00:31:20He comes on the pitch

00:31:2196 minutes

00:31:22I think you just need

00:31:22To wax lyrical

00:31:23I don't think

00:31:24Marco Silva brought him

00:31:25Off the bench

00:31:26For this

00:31:26Probably just to

00:31:27Maybe sew it up

00:31:27Or to try and

00:31:28Give it a bit of balance

00:31:29In midfield

00:31:29If Liverpool break away

00:31:31But he's set up

00:31:32For a long throw

00:31:32As Arna Slot

00:31:33But Reid comes into

00:31:34The picture

00:31:34I mean

00:31:34You know you let the

00:31:36Pictures do this

00:31:36Justice

00:31:37This is just

00:31:37A phenomenal strike

00:31:38It's quite funny

00:31:39Harrison said

00:31:40After that

00:31:40I've practiced this

00:31:41In training

00:31:41But again

00:31:42Like that

00:31:42Just roider over stuff

00:31:43It really is

00:31:44To get that much

00:31:45Dip in movement

00:31:46And Swaz

00:31:46Allison's got

00:31:47Absolutely no chance

00:31:48At all

00:31:48And see if it just

00:31:49Pops up as he

00:31:50Hits it there

00:31:50This is an

00:31:51Unbelievable strike

00:31:53I mean Gary

00:31:53You maybe weren't

00:31:54Overly happy

00:31:54With the Liverpool

00:31:55Defending

00:31:55Yeah and I

00:31:56Understand they're

00:31:57Set up for a

00:31:57Long throw

00:31:58But as soon as

00:31:59Fulham don't

00:32:00Throw it long

00:32:00You have to react

00:32:01To this 4v2

00:32:02You know some of

00:32:03Them Liverpool

00:32:03Players in the

00:32:04Penalty area

00:32:04Need to get up

00:32:05And get some

00:32:06Pressure on the

00:32:06Ball

00:32:06You can't leave

00:32:07That 4v2

00:32:08For that long

00:32:08And of course

00:32:09You don't expect

00:32:10To be punished

00:32:10Like this

00:32:11But boy did

00:32:12Harrison Reid

00:32:12Punish them

00:32:13A hell of a

00:32:14I'm not sure

00:32:14Many of his

00:32:15Practices went

00:32:16Where that one

00:32:16Went but the

00:32:17One that mattered

00:32:17Did

00:32:18Now there's no

00:32:19Alexander Isak

00:32:20We know for

00:32:21Liverpool for a

00:32:21Few months

00:32:22Ekotike out at

00:32:23The moment

00:32:23Could be back

00:32:24Later this week

00:32:24For the Arsenal

00:32:25Game on Thursday

00:32:26It's a short

00:32:26Term injury

00:32:27So Cody

00:32:28Gakpo playing

00:32:28In a more

00:32:29Central role

00:32:30Today

00:32:30What did you

00:32:31Make of his

00:32:31Performance

00:32:31I didn't mind

00:32:32I think

00:32:33Arnestlad talked

00:32:33About maybe

00:32:34In front of

00:32:35Goal

00:32:35We struggled

00:32:35But I think

00:32:36Gakpo done well

00:32:37You keep an eye

00:32:38On the left

00:32:39But he actually

00:32:39Bends his run

00:32:40As a centre

00:32:41Forward

00:32:41You want to do

00:32:42And he gets

00:32:44Just not a great

00:32:44Finish at the end

00:32:45Of that

00:32:45On his weaker

00:32:45Left foot

00:32:46Of course

00:32:46We know him

00:32:46Cutting in

00:32:47On his right

00:32:47He's very strong

00:32:48But again

00:32:49Look how central

00:32:49The goal

00:32:50And again

00:32:50This is a brilliant

00:32:51Hitter

00:32:51Heads it back

00:32:52Where it came from

00:32:52Just a little bit

00:32:53Unlucky

00:32:53That it's

00:32:54Come back

00:32:54Off the woodwork

00:32:55But great

00:32:55Movement for him

00:32:56And then again

00:32:57We show

00:32:57That he's involved

00:32:58In the goal

00:32:58I think

00:32:58Later

00:32:58Parts of the stage

00:32:59Went out to the left

00:33:00Side

00:33:00Kayser went up

00:33:01More central

00:33:01But he's not happy

00:33:02Just being getting

00:33:02Involved in the build up

00:33:03Gabby's thinking

00:33:04Right can we score a goal

00:33:05He makes himself

00:33:0694-95 minutes

00:33:07Brilliant ball

00:33:08From Frimpong

00:33:08And where is he

00:33:09Number nine

00:33:10In the middle

00:33:10Of the six yard box

00:33:11Where you want him to be

00:33:12And he

00:33:12Tucks it away nicely

00:33:14And again

00:33:14He thinks he's got

00:33:15The winning goal

00:33:15At this stage

00:33:16Before Mr. Reid

00:33:18Stepped up

00:33:18And stole the party

00:33:19Off him

00:33:19But I was happy

00:33:21With Gakwa

00:33:21How he played

00:33:22It says he's played

00:33:22Before there

00:33:23For PSV

00:33:24He's played there

00:33:24For the Netherlands

00:33:25As well

00:33:25So I think

00:33:26He knows the position

00:33:27OK

00:33:27There was a lot

00:33:28Of noise

00:33:28Online

00:33:29About Florian

00:33:30Versus goal

00:33:31Of course

00:33:31During the match

00:33:32It was checked

00:33:33For offside

00:33:34And to the naked eye

00:33:35There are angles

00:33:36Where it does look

00:33:37Offside

00:33:37Now from a semi-automated

00:33:39Kind of opinion

00:33:40And position

00:33:41They're happy

00:33:42That with the tolerance

00:33:43That they have

00:33:44With the lines

00:33:45That it is onside

00:33:46Because the advantage

00:33:47When the lines touch

00:33:48Between the last player

00:33:50And the defender

00:33:51Is about five centimetres

00:33:53And it's given

00:33:53To the attacking player

00:33:54That kind of advantage

00:33:55Are you happy

00:33:56All the best Gary

00:33:57Gabby's done quite well

00:33:58Explaining that there

00:33:59I've had my own battles

00:34:01With VAR

00:34:01And trying to guess

00:34:02As a manager

00:34:03Whether

00:34:03Is on or off

00:34:05But they made

00:34:06They did make

00:34:06The lines thicker

00:34:07Four years ago

00:34:08I think

00:34:08To try and give

00:34:09An advantage

00:34:09But I think

00:34:10All of us

00:34:11Would say

00:34:11That on the naked eye

00:34:13Florian Versus foot

00:34:14Looks ahead

00:34:15Of Diop's

00:34:16There

00:34:16Florian Versus

00:34:17Looks like

00:34:18He's just drifted

00:34:19Into that lighter

00:34:19Cut of grass

00:34:20Whereas we would say

00:34:22Diop looks firmly

00:34:23Planted in the darker cut

00:34:24So you would say

00:34:25That this is probably

00:34:26Going to be disallowed

00:34:27For offside

00:34:28At this moment

00:34:29But then

00:34:29When it then turns

00:34:30To the

00:34:31Semi-automated view

00:34:32You can see

00:34:34It doesn't quite

00:34:35Look the same

00:34:35And it looks like

00:34:36Florian Versus

00:34:37Has managed

00:34:37Just to stay

00:34:39The right side

00:34:41Of Diop

00:34:41And whether that

00:34:42Tolerance

00:34:42We don't have

00:34:43The privilege

00:34:44Of seeing the lines

00:34:44Here

00:34:45But whether that

00:34:45Tolerance

00:34:46Of about 5cm

00:34:47Has led to this

00:34:48Goal standing

00:34:49Is a possibility

00:34:50But Florian Versus

00:34:52Needs the goal

00:34:53To be fair to him

00:34:53Fulham won't be

00:34:54So pleased with it

00:34:54But a big goal

00:34:55For Florian Versus

00:34:56Marco Silva's

00:34:56Reaction

00:34:57Seemed quite measured

00:34:58Yeah I guess

00:35:00The Harrison Reid

00:35:00Goal

00:35:01Probably takes

00:35:02The edge off it

00:35:02A little bit

00:35:03For him

00:35:03And I think

00:35:05As managers

00:35:06And coaches

00:35:06In the end

00:35:07You have to accept

00:35:07That the technology

00:35:09Is there to do its job

00:35:09And we have to accept

00:35:10That at the moment

00:35:12It's doing the best job

00:35:13That it possibly can

00:35:13And it's being interpreted

00:35:14In the best way possible

00:35:15You mentioned

00:35:16That it's been a few years

00:35:17Now that that has

00:35:17Been the way

00:35:18They've been viewed

00:35:18And actually

00:35:19The Premier League

00:35:20Is the only major league

00:35:21Left in Europe

00:35:21That is doing that

00:35:22The others are still

00:35:23Kind of working

00:35:23Or are working

00:35:24To the toenail

00:35:25Yeah so a strong possibility

00:35:26That maybe would have

00:35:27Been disallowed

00:35:27In some of the other

00:35:29Major leagues around Europe

00:35:30But as it is at the moment

00:35:31The technology has got

00:35:32That one right for us

00:35:33And cleared up

00:35:33A very tight decision

00:35:34You say cleared up

00:35:35I mean we're talking

00:35:36Yeah yeah

00:35:36Cleared up to the better

00:35:37Okay

00:35:38Next

00:35:40Leeds United

00:35:41And Manchester United

00:35:42Renew their

00:35:42War of the Roses

00:35:43As the Reds cross

00:35:44The Pennines

00:35:45To play the Whites

00:35:46Of Yorkshire

00:35:46Your commentator

00:35:47Is Guy Mowbray

00:35:48After today

00:35:52Every team in the Premier League

00:35:53Will have faced

00:35:54All the others this season

00:35:55The opponents

00:35:57Leeds look for first

00:35:58Are the ones

00:35:59They've had to wait

00:36:00For longest

00:36:01There are two changes

00:36:03To the Leeds line up

00:36:04From their New Year's Day

00:36:05Draw at Liverpool

00:36:05With Dominic Calvert-Lewin

00:36:07And Noah Okafor

00:36:08Coming back in to start

00:36:09Lucas Metcher

00:36:11Is a substitute

00:36:11Captain Ethan Ampadu

00:36:13Ruled out suspended

00:36:14And Jadon Bogle

00:36:15Is out with a calf injury

00:36:17For the visiting United

00:36:18Only one difference

00:36:19To their team

00:36:20In names

00:36:21As Leni Jorow

00:36:22Replaces

00:36:22Joshua Zergzi

00:36:23He's on the bench

00:36:25Alongside five teenagers

00:36:27With a whole raft

00:36:28Of senior players

00:36:29Once again absent

00:36:30Leeds waiting to play

00:36:36Manchester United

00:36:37Pales away

00:36:38Compared with waiting

00:36:38To beat them

00:36:39They haven't done that

00:36:41In nine Premier League meetings

00:36:42And in seven overall

00:36:44Since Jermaine Beckford's

00:36:45One-nil winner

00:36:46For then League One Leeds

00:36:48At Old Trafford

00:36:49Sixteen years ago

00:36:50Yesterday

00:36:51Lammans

00:36:53Nice easy stroke

00:36:55Of the ball

00:36:55Offside flag

00:36:57Is raised

00:36:58As Matthias Cunha

00:36:59Has a go

00:36:59And scores

00:37:01In fine style

00:37:02But it's not going to count

00:37:03And I'm pretty sure

00:37:08He was offside

00:37:09Maybe not Matthias Cunha

00:37:14But I'm pretty certain

00:37:16Czesco was

00:37:17And he went for the ball

00:37:18To try and help it on

00:37:19Whether he touched it or not

00:37:21Is largely irrelevant

00:37:2222 minutes in

00:37:27And Leeds United

00:37:28Pay tribute to

00:37:30Joshua Pick

00:37:31Who died suddenly

00:37:33Aged 22 recently

00:37:35A Leeds season ticket holder

00:37:36From six years old

00:37:38His dad and sister

00:37:40Are here at the game today

00:37:41And we wish them all well

00:37:43Justin

00:37:47Calvert-Lewin

00:37:49Shielding his eyes

00:37:50From the low sun

00:37:51Here's Strouk

00:37:52Stack

00:37:55Calvert-Lewin

00:37:57Off the post

00:37:59So close to scoring again

00:38:03It was inches away

00:38:05From being 1-0 Leeds

00:38:06Through their number nine

00:38:07Once more

00:38:08Just what a striker

00:38:10In Dominic Calvert-Lewin's form

00:38:12Would want

00:38:12Only needed

00:38:14Just a little bit more

00:38:15Head on ball

00:38:16That clears Borna

00:38:21Cunha

00:38:22Cunha

00:38:22Shaw

00:38:24Two in the box

00:38:26For Cunha

00:38:26Dogu can't attack it though

00:38:28It's turned behind

00:38:29By Goodmanson

00:38:30And after a

00:38:32Spell of Leeds

00:38:34Being in the ascendancy

00:38:35It might be

00:38:35Manchester United's

00:38:36Turn for a bit now

00:38:37Look Shaw

00:38:40To take the corner

00:38:41It's a deep one

00:38:43And it's Casimiro

00:38:45And saved by Lucas Perry

00:38:46Brilliant reaction stop

00:38:49Casimiro

00:38:50On to

00:38:51Lenny Uro

00:38:52Just trying to

00:38:52Divert it

00:38:53All he could do there

00:38:55Was get it goal bound

00:38:56He did that

00:38:57Lucas Perry

00:38:58In the right place

00:38:59A game that needs

00:39:03A creative spark

00:39:04A game that needs

00:39:06A player of

00:39:07Eddie Gray's abilities

00:39:08He made his

00:39:09Leeds United debut

00:39:1060 years ago

00:39:111st of January

00:39:121966

00:39:133-0 against

00:39:15Sheffield Wednesday

00:39:16He scored one

00:39:17And he made two

00:39:18Before assists were a thing

00:39:19What a player

00:39:21Stroke

00:39:23Heaven has a look

00:39:25Aronson is closing in

00:39:27And Aronson is there

00:39:28First

00:39:28And finishes

00:39:30Ellen Road has erupted

00:39:35Brendan Aronson's

00:39:41Non-stop running

00:39:42Has got reward

00:39:44Aidan

00:39:46Heaven caught

00:39:46Cold

00:39:47A moment for all

00:39:50Leeds young and old

00:39:51To absolutely love

00:39:53Aronson has not

00:39:55Always been

00:39:56Flavor of the month

00:39:56Here

00:39:57Right now

00:39:59At this minute

00:39:59He's the toast

00:40:01Of the town

00:40:01He wanted it

00:40:03Just that bit more

00:40:05But then he had to

00:40:06Find the composure

00:40:07To put it in

00:40:07Brilliantly dispatched

00:40:10And it's

00:40:11Leeds United 1

00:40:11Manchester United 0

00:40:13And Manchester United

00:40:15Now feel the need

00:40:16To make a change

00:40:17Lenny Euro is off

00:40:18Joshua Xerxes

00:40:19Comes on

00:40:20Well Aidan Heaven

00:40:22Has performed

00:40:23Really well

00:40:23In the seven games

00:40:25Now in a row

00:40:26That he started

00:40:26But there was

00:40:28An aberration

00:40:28You can't switch off

00:40:30In the Premier League

00:40:31And in this fixture

00:40:32Of all fixtures

00:40:33You absolutely

00:40:35Must be on it

00:40:36At every second

00:40:37Xerxes

00:40:39Looking for Cunha

00:40:41And Cunha

00:40:42Has slid in

00:40:43And slotted it

00:40:44Past Lucas Perry

00:40:45It's 1-1

00:40:47Leeds turn

00:40:50To get it all

00:40:51Wrong in defence

00:40:52This is one

00:40:54Of huge importance

00:40:56For Manchester United

00:40:57Cesco won it

00:40:59Laid it off

00:40:59To Xerxes

00:41:00He played a

00:41:01Perfectly weighted

00:41:03Pass for Cunha

00:41:04And not for the

00:41:05First time

00:41:06Cunha found himself

00:41:07Free

00:41:07And just like

00:41:09Aronson at the

00:41:10Other end

00:41:10Well how good

00:41:11Was the finish

00:41:12The game

00:41:14Has been

00:41:15Plugged in

00:41:16From 0-0

00:41:18To 1-1

00:41:18In just

00:41:21Under three

00:41:21Minutes

00:41:22Okafor

00:41:27On his way

00:41:28Calvert-Lewin

00:41:29In the middle

00:41:30But so is

00:41:30Heaven

00:41:31Beall got to

00:41:43Help on to that

00:41:44Good try

00:41:44Good save

00:41:45Lehmann's

00:41:47Forced to

00:41:48Spring into

00:41:48Action

00:41:49After Okafor's

00:41:51Acrobatic

00:41:52Attempt

00:41:52Great try

00:41:55So Alex

00:41:59Ferguson

00:41:59Was 84

00:42:00On New

00:42:01Year's Eve

00:42:01He was never

00:42:03Going to miss

00:42:03This one

00:42:03Dalot

00:42:06Bugatti

00:42:10Zerxes

00:42:11Now

00:42:13Matthias

00:42:13Cunha

00:42:14Luke Shaw

00:42:14Is an extra

00:42:15Center forward

00:42:15In this move

00:42:16Here's Zerxes

00:42:17Zerxes

00:42:18Across

00:42:19Cesc

00:42:19Go

00:42:19Zephy

00:42:19Is wide

00:42:20He made

00:42:22Good contact

00:42:23With the ball

00:42:23Just maybe

00:42:25Hit it

00:42:26Too straight

00:42:26Planted

00:42:28Firmly

00:42:29Wide

00:42:29Of the post

00:42:29Big chance

00:42:31For Manchester

00:42:31United

00:42:32To take

00:42:32The lead

00:42:32Deal's header

00:42:36Goes straight

00:42:37To Cunha

00:42:37Cesc

00:42:38Gets it

00:42:39Through the

00:42:39Legs

00:42:39For Zerxes

00:42:40Now

00:42:41It's

00:42:41Dorgue

00:42:42Cunha

00:42:43Wants it

00:42:43Cunha

00:42:44Has the

00:42:44Try

00:42:45Oh

00:42:45Was it

00:42:46Saved

00:42:46Or

00:42:46Just

00:42:46Wide

00:42:47Look

00:42:50At the

00:42:51Curl

00:42:51On that

00:42:51From

00:42:52Cunha

00:42:52So

00:42:54So

00:42:54Close

00:42:55To

00:42:55Making

00:42:56It

00:42:562-1

00:42:56Manchester

00:42:57United

00:42:57It's

00:43:00Justin

00:43:00Who

00:43:00Heads

00:43:00Forward

00:43:01To

00:43:01Nyonto

00:43:01Lovely ball

00:43:05From Nyonto

00:43:05Here's

00:43:06Stack

00:43:06Piru to

00:43:07The right

00:43:08Stack

00:43:09Finds him

00:43:09Piru

00:43:10Under the

00:43:11Roof

00:43:12Made his

00:43:15Mind up

00:43:15Before the

00:43:15Ball came to

00:43:16Him

00:43:16That that's

00:43:17What he was

00:43:18Going to

00:43:18Try to

00:43:18Do

00:43:19Not

00:43:21Not far

00:43:21Away at

00:43:22All

00:43:22And it

00:43:24Is

00:43:24Full

00:43:25Time

00:43:25At

00:43:26Elland

00:43:26Road

00:43:26Leeds

00:43:27Draw

00:43:28For a

00:43:29Third

00:43:29Game

00:43:29In a

00:43:29Row

00:43:30There's

00:43:31Seven

00:43:31Unbeaten

00:43:31Now

00:43:32Manchester

00:43:33United

00:43:33Have only

00:43:35Lost one

00:43:35Of their

00:43:36Last eight

00:43:36They're much

00:43:37More resilient

00:43:38Away from

00:43:38Home

00:43:38These days

00:43:39Leeds

00:43:40United

00:43:40One

00:43:41Manchester

00:43:42United

00:43:42One

00:43:42We are a bit

00:43:45Disappointed

00:43:45Because it was

00:43:46Possible also

00:43:46To win this

00:43:47Game

00:43:47You could feel

00:43:48That we were

00:43:49A bit tired

00:43:49Today and

00:43:50Also we're

00:43:51Missing many

00:43:51Key players

00:43:52Was probably

00:43:54Football wise

00:43:54Not our best

00:43:55Performance

00:43:55But we found

00:43:56Still a way

00:43:57To defend

00:43:57Really well

00:43:57And to go

00:43:59In lead

00:43:59And it was

00:43:59Definitely

00:43:59Possible also

00:44:00To win this

00:44:00Game

00:44:01For that

00:44:01We are a bit

00:44:02Disappointed

00:44:02But on the

00:44:03Other hand

00:44:03It shows

00:44:04Also

00:44:04And says a lot

00:44:05That you are

00:44:06Disappointed

00:44:06With just one

00:44:07Point against

00:44:07Man United

00:44:08As a

00:44:08Promoted

00:44:09Side

00:44:09An important

00:44:10Point

00:44:10For us

00:44:10We talk

00:44:11About this

00:44:11The

00:44:12Resilience

00:44:12And then

00:44:13Everyone knows

00:44:14It's so important

00:44:15To the players

00:44:16Who miss

00:44:17Today

00:44:17But we have

00:44:19A big character

00:44:20On the team

00:44:20We need

00:44:20To use the shirt

00:44:22And show everything

00:44:22On the pitch

00:44:23And I think

00:44:24We did it

00:44:25And I hope

00:44:26We can do

00:44:26Much more

00:44:27The next game

00:44:27Yeah we're going

00:44:28To take it

00:44:28With a ton

00:44:29Of confidence

00:44:30Because you know

00:44:30Where we've been

00:44:31The last month

00:44:32Of games

00:44:32That we've had

00:44:32Going to Liverpool

00:44:33Coming back home

00:44:34Two away games

00:44:36And Sunderland

00:44:36Two

00:44:37They're not easy

00:44:37Places to go

00:44:38To stay unbeaten

00:44:39And I think

00:44:40We could even have

00:44:40More points

00:44:40From these games

00:44:41So we just need

00:44:43To keep going

00:44:43From here

00:44:43Well after the match

00:44:45Ruben Amarim

00:44:46Said this

00:44:46In his press conference

00:44:47I just want to say

00:44:49That I'm going to be

00:44:50The manager

00:44:51Of this team

00:44:52Not just the coach

00:44:53And I was really

00:44:54Clear on that

00:44:56And that is going

00:44:56To finish

00:44:57In 18 months

00:44:58And then

00:44:59Everyone is going

00:45:00To move on

00:45:02That was the deal

00:45:04That is my job

00:45:05Not to be a coach

00:45:07If people

00:45:08Cannot handle

00:45:09The Gary Nevels

00:45:10And the criticism

00:45:11Of everything

00:45:12We need to change

00:45:14The club

00:45:15I came here

00:45:16To be the manager

00:45:17Of Manchester United

00:45:18Not to be the coach

00:45:19And every department

00:45:20The scouting department

00:45:21The sport director

00:45:22Needs to do their job

00:45:23I will do mine

00:45:24For 18 months

00:45:25And then

00:45:25We move on

00:45:26The question he was

00:45:28Responding to

00:45:29Ruben Amarim

00:45:30Was about control

00:45:31At the club

00:45:31And that answer

00:45:32Clearly would

00:45:33Point to discord

00:45:34With regard to

00:45:36The hierarchy

00:45:36At the club

00:45:37Yeah

00:45:38He's not happy

00:45:38It looks like

00:45:39There's a bit of a

00:45:40It feels like

00:45:41We don't know

00:45:41Obviously

00:45:41It feels like

00:45:42There's a bit of a

00:45:42Fallout between himself

00:45:43And of course

00:45:44Jason Walcox

00:45:45The director of football

00:45:46And he said

00:45:47In numerous cases

00:45:48Two or three times

00:45:48That he's the manager

00:45:49Not just the coach

00:45:51So what that tells me

00:45:52Is he's overseeing

00:45:53Players coming in

00:45:54He's overseeing

00:45:54Maybe players going out

00:45:55Who comes to the club

00:45:56Who doesn't

00:45:57Or he would like to

00:45:58He would like to

00:45:58But maybe

00:45:59That's not happened

00:46:00Maybe he's been

00:46:00We're in January

00:46:01Now the promises

00:46:02Of maybe players

00:46:02Coming in

00:46:03Maybe the goalposts

00:46:04Have changed

00:46:04And a lot of

00:46:05You know

00:46:05But a lot of managers

00:46:07You know

00:46:07They are head coaches

00:46:08Now and they've got

00:46:08Heads of heads

00:46:09Doing other things

00:46:10But you look at

00:46:11The great Sir Alex Ferguson

00:46:12He managed that football club

00:46:13Like no other

00:46:14I look at maybe

00:46:15An Unai Emery

00:46:16At Aston Villa

00:46:17It feels like he's

00:46:18Got the final say

00:46:19In everything

00:46:19It comes and goes

00:46:20In Aston Villa

00:46:20And look where they're

00:46:21At the league

00:46:21And also I'd say

00:46:22If Man United won

00:46:23On Wednesday night

00:46:23Against Burnley

00:46:24They're up the fourth

00:46:25And if you look

00:46:26At their bench

00:46:26In the last couple

00:46:27Of weeks

00:46:27He's got a bunch

00:46:27Of kids on there

00:46:28So I don't think

00:46:29He's doing a bad job

00:46:30But it does feel

00:46:30There's a bit of

00:46:31A bit of a falling out

00:46:32Behind the scenes perhaps

00:46:33What do you think

00:46:34As a manager

00:46:34Sitting in that chair

00:46:35His aim was

00:46:36What was the end game

00:46:37Yeah I think

00:46:38When you deliver

00:46:39A press conference

00:46:39Like that

00:46:40You're obviously

00:46:40Trying to make a point

00:46:41He's unhappy

00:46:42About something

00:46:43It's very difficult

00:46:43For us

00:46:44Without knowing

00:46:45The inner workings

00:46:45At the football club

00:46:46And the conversations

00:46:46That go on

00:46:47What he's unhappy with

00:46:49I agree with Shea

00:46:50That there's not much

00:46:52For him to work with

00:46:52At the moment

00:46:53If you look at that bench

00:46:54That Manchester United

00:46:54Are naming

00:46:55You know it's

00:46:56They are fifth or sixth

00:46:57In the league

00:46:58And maybe they're not

00:46:59Underachieving too much

00:47:00With what he's got

00:47:00Available to him

00:47:01So I understand

00:47:01His need

00:47:02And his want

00:47:03For more backing

00:47:04But it is a dicey game

00:47:06To play

00:47:07When you're sat in that chair

00:47:08And you start to

00:47:08Criticise people above you

00:47:09Maybe when it's not

00:47:11Gone overly well for you

00:47:12Over the last 18 months

00:47:13But you know

00:47:14He's an intelligent guy

00:47:15Big boy

00:47:16I'm sure he knows

00:47:17What he's doing

00:47:17And if he feels

00:47:18He needs to make a point

00:47:19In that moment

00:47:19Then he has every right

00:47:20To do so

00:47:21I guess recent example

00:47:22Lenzo Marescot

00:47:22Didn't quite work out

00:47:23For him did it

00:47:24When he helped

00:47:24No it goes one way

00:47:25Or the other

00:47:25You normally get some

00:47:26Support or it can end

00:47:27Fairly abruptly

00:47:28On the pitch

00:47:29The player that they're

00:47:29Looking to at the moment

00:47:30For creativity

00:47:31And attacking threat

00:47:32You know very well

00:47:33Matthias Cunier

00:47:33From your time at Wolves

00:47:34Yeah one of my favourite

00:47:36Players that I worked with

00:47:36At Wolves

00:47:37We did an awful lot

00:47:38Of work with him

00:47:38On arriving in

00:47:41Attacking areas

00:47:41That really suited him

00:47:42So Manchester United

00:47:44Have used him

00:47:45In a similar zone

00:47:45But it does still feel

00:47:47Like he's carrying

00:47:47A lot of the burden

00:47:48In the attacking

00:47:49I know they're missing

00:47:49Players at the moment

00:47:50Fantastic finish

00:47:52He's unlucky

00:47:52That Cesco's just

00:47:53Not quite managed

00:47:54To get back

00:47:55From an offside position

00:47:55But shows his quality

00:47:56But here

00:47:57Just a lack of attackers

00:47:59On the pitch

00:48:00From Manchester United

00:48:01And you know

00:48:02Cunier needs people

00:48:03He needs runners

00:48:04To be able to find

00:48:05And he'll find them

00:48:05His right foot's

00:48:06One of the best

00:48:06In the business

00:48:07So there he's only

00:48:08Got Cesco

00:48:08And Dorg

00:48:09Who's really late

00:48:10To arrive

00:48:10So a fantastic ball

00:48:11Into a dangerous area

00:48:12From Cunier

00:48:13But not enough attackers

00:48:14For him to play with

00:48:15And combine

00:48:16And create things

00:48:17Here Dallo playing outside

00:48:19Poor ball inside

00:48:20And now Aronson

00:48:21Punishes them

00:48:22On the counter attack

00:48:22And this was the catalyst

00:48:24Really

00:48:24This was the thing

00:48:25That sparked the reaction

00:48:26From Amory

00:48:26And Manchester United

00:48:27Zerksy comes

00:48:28Straight off the bench

00:48:29And literally

00:48:30Instantly

00:48:31You see three attackers

00:48:32Who are able to combine

00:48:33No full backs

00:48:34Playing higher up the pitch

00:48:35Three out

00:48:37And out attackers

00:48:37And they're able to combine

00:48:39Cesco sets Zerksy

00:48:40Cunier makes that run

00:48:41In behind

00:48:42And we did loads

00:48:43And loads of finishing

00:48:44Drills with him

00:48:44And his right foot

00:48:45When you get him

00:48:45In and around the goal

00:48:46Is deadly

00:48:47He hits the net

00:48:48Time after time

00:48:49Same again

00:48:49Zerksy

00:48:50Cesco

00:48:50They work it between them

00:48:52And then they find

00:48:53The third link

00:48:53Mateus Cunier

00:48:54Once you get him here

00:48:55If he's got a runner

00:48:56He'll find it

00:48:57In the first half

00:48:58He didn't have one

00:48:58Second half

00:48:59Zerksy makes a fantastic

00:49:00Running behind

00:49:01Perfect weight on the pass

00:49:03From Cunier

00:49:03And then Zerksy

00:49:04Will be disappointed

00:49:05He should do better

00:49:05Same again

00:49:06Cunier

00:49:07Drops down to him

00:49:09He's got two to combine with

00:49:10Two attackers who he can play with

00:49:11Would probably like more

00:49:12But at least he's got two

00:49:13They combine again

00:49:15Zerksy and Cesco

00:49:16Are able to take the defenders away

00:49:18Gets Mateus Cunier

00:49:19Half a yard

00:49:19And then that wand of a right foot

00:49:21Nearly clinches the whole three points

00:49:23For Manchester United

00:49:24But another big

00:49:25Big performance for him

00:49:26And here you can see

00:49:27Like

00:49:27They're not blessed with goals

00:49:29You know

00:49:30Mateus Cunier

00:49:31Four

00:49:31Casemiro

00:49:32Four

00:49:32And then there's not a lot else

00:49:34In that group

00:49:35And I understand they're missing players

00:49:36But this is Manchester United

00:49:38It's the biggest

00:49:39Or one of the biggest clubs

00:49:40In the country

00:49:40And you would expect

00:49:41Their starting XI and bench

00:49:43To provide a lot more goal threat

00:49:44Than it does at the moment

00:49:45So heavily reliant on Mateus

00:49:46And it says a lot about Leeds

00:49:48And their run in December

00:49:49In particular

00:49:50So the reaction

00:49:51Of a lot of the players

00:49:52And the manager there

00:49:53That you know

00:49:53Yes they're happy with the point

00:49:54But they've had such a good run

00:49:56Since that defeat

00:49:56At the end of November

00:49:57To City

00:49:58They haven't lost a game

00:49:59In Manchester City

00:50:00He was under pressure

00:50:01Daniel Farke as well

00:50:02And they trusted him

00:50:03They stuck behind him

00:50:03Seven unbeaten

00:50:04Eight points clear

00:50:05Of the drop zone

00:50:06He's doing a great job

00:50:07OK

00:51:07Telly at this stage

00:51:08Of a Premier League season

00:51:09Quivin Keller

00:51:10Quivin Keller has seven seasons

00:51:11At Liverpool

00:51:12Included only one Merseyside derby

00:51:14A 1-0 victory

00:51:15At Anfield

00:51:16In April of last year

00:51:17After a dry December

00:51:19Igor Thiago

00:51:20Is looking to end

00:51:21A six-game wait

00:51:22For a goal

00:51:22O'Brien

00:51:29Trying to reverse the ball

00:51:30Can only find

00:51:31Dam's guards

00:51:32Thiago

00:51:34Blocks Jensen's

00:51:36Attempted ball

00:51:37And Grealish

00:51:37Grealish gets away

00:51:38Jack Grealish

00:51:40Back to Dwight McNeil

00:51:42Who draws

00:51:43A fine stop

00:51:45From Quivin Keller

00:51:46First big moment

00:51:49For the Irish goalkeeper

00:51:51First corner of the game

00:51:55To be taken by

00:51:56Dwight McNeil

00:51:57Tricky one

00:51:59Cleared off the line

00:52:00By Thiago

00:52:01Well a nervy

00:52:04Few minutes

00:52:05For Keith Andrews

00:52:18Everton

00:52:1811 points

00:52:19Better off

00:52:20At this stage

00:52:20Than last season

00:52:22Tarkovsky

00:52:26Janel

00:52:27Intercepts

00:52:28Cross

00:52:29Towards Thiago

00:52:30A first

00:52:34Sniff of a goal

00:52:35For Igor Thiago

00:52:37And he

00:52:38Dispatches it

00:52:39To make it

00:53:07Everton

00:53:08Nil

00:53:08Brentford

00:53:09One

00:53:10Brentford's

00:53:12First effort

00:53:13On goal

00:53:14Bringing about

00:53:15Maximum rewards

00:53:16Jensen

00:53:18Thiago

00:53:19To make it

00:53:20Two

00:53:21Denied by

00:53:22Jordan Pickford

00:53:23Excellent movement

00:53:26Off the ball

00:53:27From Thiago

00:53:28Jordan Pickford

00:53:30And uses the angle

00:53:31And uses the angle

00:53:31To his advantage

00:53:32Grealish

00:53:35Grealish

00:53:35Last chance

00:53:38Possibly here

00:53:39For Everton

00:53:40To change the scoreline

00:53:41In the first half

00:53:42Grealish

00:53:43Still Grealish

00:53:45Onto his left

00:53:47Ball across

00:53:47And what a save

00:53:49Barry denied

00:53:50And so too

00:53:51Keane

00:53:52Incredible

00:53:55Goalkeeping

00:53:57From

00:57:08Some

00:57:09Everton

00:57:09Supporters

00:58:07They

00:58:08Were

00:58:08Pushing

00:58:08Men

00:58:08Forwards

00:58:09And

00:58:11Look

00:58:11At

00:58:12just how much time and space igor thiago has he's got the freedom of the hill dickinson stadium

00:58:20to bear down on jordan pickford's everton one brentford four

00:58:30as you can see lots of blue empty seats amongst the home supporters we've seen more than enough

00:58:38grealish grealish barry still time for more goals in this match

00:58:53there hasn't been many positives for everton here this afternoon

00:58:57but both of their strikers on the score sheet is one everton two brentford four

00:59:03we're excellent um right from the off really played with a lot of personality conviction

00:59:13energy spirit all the aspects of the game i want to see from our team it come into a very very

00:59:18difficult uh ground even though it's a new ground difficult club to play against manager to play

00:59:23against who i have a serious amount of respect for so we knew we'd have to earn a result today

00:59:29um but i'd have to say i thought we were excellent disappointment that we we didn't play better

00:59:33but uh no we're just a bit short at the moment in some areas and but in areas we lost the goals today

00:59:40we weren't we weren't short we've been very strong in those areas but i thought we were disappointed

00:59:44defensively today and certainly not as strong as we have been a word of appreciation for igor thiago i'm

00:59:51sure you go against him a lot in training so you'll know about his attributes and a short spell without

00:59:56scoring but back amongst the goals he's just a handful he has a bit of everything you know he

01:00:00runs in behind he works hard he holds the ball up and he can finish a wall he has everything to be the

01:00:04top striker and if he keeps going like this there's no reason he can't be he's played really well

01:00:08recently and not scored so i always felt the goals would come again um it was unrealistic to think he

01:00:14was just going to continue banging in goals left right and center week in week out like he had been

01:00:17so um his performance again today was sensational and he truly deserves the accolades that he'll get off the

01:00:24back of it certainly not a typical brentford performance on the road this season they've

01:00:28lost seven of nine but they were running rampant at the hill dickinson today and tiago in particular

01:00:33off the back of six games without scoring yeah he was excellent gabby there was there was there was

01:00:37no sign of a lack of confidence after not scoring for six games obviously he's been in the goals over

01:00:42the course of the season everton were poor you know this is not their finest day mistakes as you'll see

01:00:47in the build-up to a lot of these chances but proper number nine great movement off the back of the

01:00:51the center half and a fantastic finish and you can see him here his teammates spoke about it there

01:00:56nathan collins always wanting to threaten him behind these runs in behind so hard to deal with

01:01:00pickford manages to save this one but then maybe he learns from that chance where he's managed where

01:01:05he smashed it and pickford's got a hand to it he competes at the top of the pitch and he's a target

01:01:09man for them but now you see him again just threatening him behind that everton back line and he calls them

01:01:13real real problems today he doesn't get the first one gets this one and that's a great finish to just lift it

01:01:19over pickford would have been easy to smash it against him another poor ball from everton and

01:01:24then not well organized behind the ball everton on that clip and you leave tiago in this sort of

01:01:28space in the form that he's in and all of us were pretty sure that this was going to end one way in

01:01:32a goal another little dink finish and a premier league hat-trick for him and well deserved a fantastic

01:01:38performance and look at that he's in very good company he is and i think there's a there's a big

01:01:43tournament coming up in the summer isn't there the world cup that i'm sure he's got his eyes on

01:01:48because brazil we haven't really have a set number nine for a while uh and i know he hasn't been

01:01:52called up yet but if he stays on that list and he keeps the company that he's keeping at the moment

01:01:56then it'd be very very hard not to take him i mentioned brentford's away form because actually

01:02:00their league position is very good and it's been built on their home form and hill dickinson for

01:02:05everton at the moment their form there isn't very good is it and and having had a good start to their

01:02:11new home things are looking a bit wobbly yeah i'm always said they're short in a few years and again

01:02:15he'll be looking maybe the window to try and strengthen but yeah the graph speaks for itself

01:02:19doesn't it i mean they're very hill dickens is a brand new stadium and sometimes the opposition look

01:02:23like they like playing there more so on the home team and that sometimes that happens gabby but

01:02:26david moys will want to put that right we know he's a top manager and i'm sure he'll get it right

01:02:30okay eddie howe has said that january will be a season defining month for his newcastle side they

01:02:36begin 2026 against another side struggling for forming crystal palace commentary comes from martin fisher

01:02:41january will be defining it will certainly be tiring nine games over the next 28 days for newcastle

01:02:51in four different competitions palace know all about hectic schedules this is their 32nd

01:02:57match of the campaign no premier league side has played more one change for newcastle harvey

01:03:03barnes replaced by jacob murphy who scored in their last two wins here over palace the eagles give a

01:03:10debut to brennan johnson who only joined them from spurs on friday for a club record fee of 35 million pounds

01:03:22neither side in good form at the moment first win in four for newcastle on tuesday

01:03:28the first point in four for palace on thursday

01:03:32tonali gordon two to his right gets it back from gimmarais on now for murphy whistle waits in the middle

01:03:44mitchell with the block newcastle's corner

01:03:51some pieces again something that they have struggled with of late lewis hall to swing this in for newcastle

01:03:58it's deep henderson helps it on its way

01:04:03wissa in by tonali

01:04:08punched away by henderson back in by hall share great save henderson

01:04:16well it wasn't the greatest of punches away by the palace goalkeeper at the start of all that

01:04:21but he was in the right position to deal with it when it came back his way from fabian share

01:04:31give a rush lovely ball wissa in on goal squares for gordon

01:04:381-0 newcastle

01:04:42eighth goal of the season for anthony gordon

01:04:45his first in the premier league that hasn't come from the penalty spot this season

01:04:53i wonder there if wissa is actually just ahead of lerma so tight isn't it

01:05:03cut of the grass it looks ever so tight but it's the shoulder of wissa but he's just ahead of the palace man

01:05:09it won't count newcastle celebrations cut short

01:05:16matthew donohoe today's var with the decision

01:05:24inside for gimaraish looking for wissa

01:05:29and the block was by canva

01:05:30whistle looking sharp timed his run better there than he did earlier

01:05:392025 brought welcome glory for both of these clubs a first domestic trophy in 70 years for newcastle

01:05:46first ever piece of silverware in crystal palace's history

01:05:51future holds for them in 2026

01:05:53now hughes mitchell and pinot to his left

01:05:59it's pinot through for hughes who's in oh he should have buried it what a chance for will hughes

01:06:05well he doesn't score many but he really should have buried that opportunity

01:06:10lovely way to pass by pinot and from there hughes somehow puts it wide of the target

01:06:17and look at the reaction of oliver glasner

01:06:24now gordon

01:06:26four around the corner newcastle with four in the box here's joe linton

01:06:30now wissa now tonali and palace scrambling away

01:06:38desperate defending but affected defending by crystal palace particularly by tarik mitchell

01:06:44joe linton

01:06:48barnes with his first involvement

01:06:52stopped by camber

01:06:58sixth corner that newcastle have had today

01:07:00a lot of them have really caused palace that much difficulty

01:07:05came off the bar that one

01:07:06well look in his face he intended it look at the swing on that

01:07:15henderson will argue that he had it covered

01:07:17and a chance for miley to cross

01:07:20as well as he knows away

01:07:26for the last trip by water

01:07:29and newcastle getting the free kick

01:07:32this is where

01:07:33glasner will be getting a little concern that

01:07:37palace are beginning to tire again

01:07:42first phase dealt with

01:07:43here's the second from barnes arriving back post is miley

01:07:47three and it's not at home

01:07:51bruno

01:07:52glasner is

01:07:54glasner

01:07:56to give a rush again

01:07:58comes up trumps for newcastle

01:08:00Palace's resistance finally broken and Guimarães nods home from inside the six-yard box

01:08:09his seventh Premier League goal of the season and that matches his best ever

01:08:15tally in the Premier League of two seasons ago

01:08:18it's another goal that Palace have conceded from a set piece it has been

01:08:23there undoing all too often in recent weeks driven in by Murphy, Miley, for Cher

01:08:32and a header from Barnes, brilliantly saved by Henderson, it almost bounced to Wissett

01:08:38but Kambo was there for Palace to shove it behind

01:08:43Newcastle pressing hard now for a second goal

01:08:48another dangerous corner Joel Linton got a touch and it's in

01:08:52Malik Chow makes it two to Newcastle

01:08:55and that is that I'm sure from St James' Park

01:08:59another set piece brings another goal against Crystal Palace

01:09:03and once again they have tired significantly the longer the game has worn on

01:09:11we'll pinball in there for a second or two and it's Chow who gets the vital final touch

01:09:17forward by Guimarães, Barnes looked like he timed his run brilliantly, Barnes is in here for Newcastle for number three

01:09:28oh!

01:09:30how was that put wide by Joe Willock?

01:09:34Henderson did really well to block the effort from Barnes but it looked like it was just a temporary reprieve

01:09:42as Joe Willock came bursting in from the far side

01:09:45from there Joe Willock has found a way of missing the target

01:09:51but it won't matter, Newcastle have come through this one in the end rather comfortably

01:09:55Newcastle 2, Palace 0

01:09:57Palace 0

01:09:59Two goals happened from two set plays and that's what we have to solve

01:10:04the problem conceding goals from set plays I think from our last six defeats

01:10:07in five games we just conceded goals from set plays and not one just every single one

01:10:12today two, four at Leeds, two against Man United, one against Tottenham, two at Strasbourg

01:10:17so and then it's it's it's you can't win games yeah this is what this is our responsibility responsibility

01:10:24is my responsibility to give the players better solutions that they can defend it in a better way

01:10:28I think we work really hard at our set pieces and pleased to see them come off and they can win and lose your game

01:10:33so it was a defining factor today when we're coming at 0-0 we know we could play better

01:10:37I thought we did play better especially with the introduction of the substitutes

01:10:40thought they all made a difference and finally had some sort of strength back in the squad today

01:10:45you could see our bench was you know much stronger and I think that made the difference

01:10:51so back to back wins for Newcastle United and that coincides with two Premier League starts for Johan Wisser

01:10:58he offers something of an Isak-esque quality to Newcastle

01:11:02you see the difference

01:11:03That to yourself for the Newcastle fans, Isak-like comparison

01:11:05but yeah I agree totally Gabby and it was a good link up play with him and Guimara today

01:11:09you see him in the picture he drops deep and Valtomar is good at this as well dropping deep

01:11:12but I like to keep an eye on Vista with his movement after

01:11:15a striker he drags the centre half out of position

01:11:17but he's not happy we can get involved in link up play

01:11:19watch where he ends up here now

01:11:20he probably should score here Johan at the age of the box

01:11:22you know it's a timid sort of shot at the end of that

01:11:24but again he's got one thought in his mind

01:11:26is to get in the box

01:11:27and again Bruno receives the ball here

01:11:28look at Vista

01:11:29his first thought is can he stretch the opposition?

01:11:31can he play down the sides?

01:11:33and again a spit like Isak last season

01:11:35he's done that a lot

01:11:36it's very difficult for defenders to defend against pace and power

01:11:38he was marginally offside

01:11:39in this occasion

01:11:40obviously Gordon with the follow-up

01:11:41but the goal was rightly disallowed

01:11:43again can Bruno play that ball?

01:11:44you see Vista peeling on the back of the centre half

01:11:46that's what he's good at you know

01:11:48occupying the centre halfs

01:11:49and again

01:11:50he doesn't come out to try and link up on the age of the box

01:11:52that maybe have Valtomar

01:11:53he's getting in the middle of the goal

01:11:54he has the best opportunity to score goals

01:11:56you know Palace just do enough to defend this

01:11:58but again him and Bruno are in the box here

01:12:00trying to score

01:12:01and Eddie mentioned set plays

01:12:02it's a huge part of the game

01:12:03we highlight Bruno in the middle of the box

01:12:05and we should mention Lewis Miley

01:12:06the backer was absolutely brilliant today by the way

01:12:08keeps it alive

01:12:09and you want your captain to step up

01:12:11at a key moment

01:12:12the first goal in any game is so important

01:12:14and again captain fantastic

01:12:15steps up to the plate

01:12:16gets the all-important goal

01:12:17and you look at his stats as well

01:12:19he's matched his best goal-scoring record already

01:12:21and we're only in January

01:12:23so again such huge important goals

01:12:25and Eddie mentioned momentum for this team

01:12:27now back-to-back wins

01:12:28can they push on?

01:12:29they've got some big games coming up

01:12:31Oliver Glasner bemoaning the fact that

01:12:33Crystal Palace can't defend set pieces

01:12:35and they do have a terrible record this season

01:12:38they do I'm sure this is driving him

01:12:39I'm sure this is driving him mad

01:12:40because they're always in games

01:12:42you know they're defensively sound

01:12:43they're well organised

01:12:44well coached

01:12:45but like he said there

01:12:46if you're going to ship this many goals

01:12:48from set pieces

01:12:49over 50% of the goals they've conceded

01:12:51have been from set plays

01:12:52and it's been a real struggle for him

01:12:54and the more it happens

01:12:55the more it becomes a thing

01:12:56because I'm sure he'll do a meeting on it tomorrow

01:12:58or the next day around

01:13:00we need to be better at it

01:13:01and then the lads go out onto the pitch

01:13:03they give a corner away

01:13:05and instantly everyone's thinking

01:13:07oh no another corner

01:13:08you know we've struggled off these this season

01:13:10so the quicker they fix it the better

01:13:12easier said than done

01:13:13but I'm sure Glasgow will be working hard at it

01:13:16OK, thank you

01:13:17Tottenham staggered into 2026

01:13:19with a goalless draw of Brentford on New Year's Day

01:13:21their first in 137 Premier League games

01:13:24they were hoping for better

01:13:25at home to upwardly mobile Sunderland

01:13:27your commentator Robin Cowan

01:13:30Goalless draws for both Spurs and Sunderland

01:13:33to begin the new year

01:13:34but the mood from the respective fan bases

01:13:36couldn't be more different

01:13:37Tottenham's travelling fans were vociferous

01:13:39in their dissatisfaction

01:13:40and another toothless display

01:13:42in response

01:13:43Thomas Frank has replaced

01:13:44a holding midfielder in João Paulinha

01:13:46with a more attack minded Matthias Tell

01:13:48the other change sees Ben Davies

01:13:50make just his second Premier League appearance of the season

01:13:52and first from the start

01:13:54Sunderland have taken points

01:13:56of all of the current top four in the Premier League

01:13:58Manchester City the latest side

01:14:00to leave the stadium of light frustrated

01:14:02Regis Libris names the same eleven

01:14:04with this a fixture former Arsenal man

01:14:06Granit Xhaka will have been especially looking forward to

01:14:09it's Archie Grey

01:14:15given away

01:14:17but Granit Xhaka can't keep hold of it

01:14:19Grey

01:14:21allowed to advance

01:14:23options right and left

01:14:25Serkin got a little touch on it

01:14:28Porro's delivery

01:14:30Mukiele

01:14:32the faintest of glances ahead of Richarlison

01:14:38and he not got that touch

01:14:40that would have been 1-0

01:14:44Thomas Frank has admitted that the first half of the season

01:14:48as Tottenham head coach has been difficult to enjoy

01:14:51Odip there

01:14:53Odip there

01:14:55and now Tell

01:14:57Tyus Tell

01:14:59went to place it

01:15:01really not a bad effort from Tell

01:15:03those groups

01:15:04look pretty sure that

01:15:05that was heading wide

01:15:07good spell of sustained pressure this from Tottenham but

01:15:11is there something at the end of it

01:15:13Romero

01:15:15Odip there

01:15:17and Aroed

01:15:21Odip there

01:15:25across is a

01:15:28turned behind by Hairschrouda

01:15:31Trouder.

01:15:39I can't tell.

01:15:41Romero takes it down.

01:15:43Van der Ven!

01:15:44And touched in by Ben Davis.

01:15:50Well, Tottenham looking for more potency up front.

01:15:55And it's the defenders who combine to get their first goal.

01:15:59You've got to say, this was slapdash from Sunderland.

01:16:03Christian Romero had time to take it down.

01:16:06Slip.

01:16:07And Miki van der Ven!

01:16:09Shot is turned in by Ben Davis.

01:16:14His first Spurs goal in over two years.

01:16:19Some hope for Regis Labrace.

01:16:21Only Aston Villa have won more points from losing positions this season than Sunderland.

01:16:26And Kiele.

01:16:29Charleston wins it.

01:16:32Hume.

01:16:33Has a go!

01:16:36Opened up nicely for him.

01:16:39Really closing him down.

01:16:42They've really failed to lay a glove on Tottenham so far in this first half.

01:16:50Ben Tankour tried to flick that forward.

01:16:52And here's Trey Hume onto Mayenda.

01:16:59Find Xhaka and a bit of space here.

01:17:03Edingra.

01:17:07Ooh, gets the cross in.

01:17:09Vicario came and Ben Davis was there.

01:17:15Unconvincing.

01:17:16From the Tottenham goalkeeper.

01:17:17This was a chance.

01:17:21And Vicario got nothing on that at all.

01:17:25Good positioning from Ben Davis.

01:17:30Can Sunderland prey on the...

01:17:35creeping nerves of those inside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium?

01:17:38On edge at the moment.

01:17:43Michele.

01:17:45That's the best Sunderland have offered all day.

01:17:49Enzo Le Fay.

01:17:51Just hits the base of the post.

01:17:54No intervention from Vicario.

01:17:56So close.

01:17:57And that will do nothing for the nerves inside here.

01:18:01But Sunderland to...

01:18:05have so much confidence, positivity...

01:18:08starting.

01:18:12To show what they're all about.

01:18:15Brobby.

01:18:16Receives the ball back.

01:18:17It's Brobby!

01:18:20It is brilliant!

01:18:21The pressure was building.

01:18:27Sunderland strike.

01:18:28With ten minutes to go.

01:18:31Lovely give and go.

01:18:33Between Brian Brobby and Enzo Le Fay.

01:18:36He has leathered that in.

01:18:39Good times.

01:18:40Keep coming.

01:18:42For the Black Cats.

01:18:44And they are level.

01:18:49Michele.

01:18:50Since moving to right-back.

01:18:55It's made Sunderland look...

01:18:59much more of a threat in attack.

01:19:03Might fall nicely here.

01:19:06Brobby.

01:19:08Hume.

01:19:10One-way traffic now.

01:19:13A slightly fortunate bounce here.

01:19:16Brobby showing good strength to hold that up.

01:19:18And Hume finding space for the shot.

01:19:23Thomas Frank has...

01:19:25this section of the season...

01:19:27as a marathon.

01:19:28And I think...

01:19:29they've hit the wall.

01:19:31Two minutes.

01:19:33Stoppage time remaining.

01:19:34Pedro Porro.

01:19:35No.

01:19:36Pedro Porro.

01:19:37Class-wide.

01:19:38Palinia.

01:19:39Or Rosewell.

01:19:41Or Rosewell.

01:19:42But...

01:19:43couldn't hit the target.

01:19:45Is that Tottenham's final chance?

01:19:50More frustration for the Spurs fans.

01:19:52And a familiar sound for Thomas Frank.

01:19:56What's your kind of message in it?

01:19:57Is there an understanding about the frustration from the fans?

01:20:00No, but I think the first and foremost throughout the game.

01:20:04I think the fans were very good in backing us and were behind the team.

01:20:07That's all we're asking for.

01:20:08After, I always said that's different.

01:20:10So, and I'm also pretty sure that the fans, they will acknowledge, especially first half,

01:20:15acknowledge the hard work throughout the game from the players,

01:20:18acknowledge that they tried so hard throughout the game.

01:20:20Sometimes, just don't go your way.

01:20:23We reached 30 points this afternoon, which is really positive for us.

01:20:27And it gives us confidence, because even if you go through a difficult period,

01:20:32I think it was the case this afternoon, you are always on the edge.

01:20:37You don't give up.

01:20:40And the opponent, I think, can feel your quality.

01:20:43So, I think it's really positive for the future.

01:20:45But we'll have another challenge in three days and go again.

01:20:48We're playing with three front players that hasn't got that many Premier League goals in the world.

01:20:53So, Mati and also Korto, a very good player, but probably lack the final two, three good actions and a goal and assist.

01:21:01Sometimes, you're on a spell where you need to work very, very hard and to get the margins on your side.

01:21:06Frustration for Spurs, because in that first half, they looked far the better team, had so many chances to put the game away.

01:21:13Yeah, the game was there for them.

01:21:15I preferred their approach. I thought they were slightly more aggressive.

01:21:18You can see here, this is right from the start, after Sunderland.

01:21:21They're not going to give Sunderland an easy afternoon, which sometimes it feels like they can at this stadium.

01:21:26They got after them, but then poor decision from Richarlison.

01:21:29And the story of it was they just really lack quality.

01:21:32You know, here it's not a difficult ball here from Benton Kerr.

01:21:34Big space to leave that in for Richarlison.

01:21:37He misses it, loses the chance.

01:21:39They get it back again.

01:21:40So, Colin Mwani, again, easy pass.

01:21:43Big, big space to get that in with Premier League quality.

01:21:47Doesn't manage to find it.

01:21:48Sunderland off the hook again.

01:21:50And when Spurs were on top and Thomas Frank talked about missing some opportunities,

01:21:55here, Pedro Porro, when he breaks, he finally shows a moment of quality.

01:21:58And you think, this is it, what a ball.

01:22:01And then they lack quality on the end of it with a really poor first touch.

01:22:04And the chance fizzles out.

01:22:05And then when you need a moment of quality, this Sunderland side never know when they're beat.

01:22:09And this is real top, top draw.

01:22:11The moment of quality didn't come from Spurs.

01:22:12It comes from Sunderland.

01:22:14Fantastic link up from Brobby.

01:22:15And that pass from Le Fay on the volley to get the weight of it and the direction of it right.

01:22:20And then an emphatic finish from Brobby.

01:22:23Smashes right through the ball.

01:22:25Absolutely no chance for the goalkeeper.

01:22:27And this Sunderland train keeps on rolling.

01:22:29And they're very, very difficult to stop at the moment.

01:22:31And there's pressure on Thomas Frank.

01:22:33You could hear the boos, couldn't you, at the end of the game.

01:22:36What do you feel the kind of, the music, the mood music is like around Spurs?

01:22:39I kind of look at the table there, the 13th, a couple of wins are in the Champions League position.

01:22:43It's very tight in the middle of the league.

01:22:44I know that's not what Thomas Frank wants.

01:22:47He wants results and the fans want results.

01:22:49But I think Stake Wolfe maybe, I know Johnson's left this week,

01:22:51maybe he'll get money in the January window to strengthen his squad and push them up the league.

01:22:55OK, shall we take a look at all the goals from yesterday then?

01:23:03Oh dearie me, give it straight to Emma Nielsen!

01:23:08And away from Semenyo and still going and across and blocked.

01:23:18But in Arsenal level.

01:23:20And it is Gabriel!

01:23:23Jokerev's got the wrong side of his man.

01:23:25Sanessi struggling to recover.

01:23:27Odegaard now.

01:23:28Rice!

01:23:29Brilliant!

01:23:30Absolutely clinical from Declan Rice!

01:23:35Here's Bukayo Saka.

01:23:37Rice!

01:23:39Declan Rice at the double for Arsenal.

01:23:41Cook opens up for the hit here.

01:23:46Oh!

01:23:47What a hit too from Kruppi!

01:23:50Rodgers.

01:23:52Watkins!

01:23:57Cash is in space.

01:23:59Kamara's found him.

01:24:00McGinn coming in!

01:24:042-0 Aston Villa.

01:24:06Gibbs-White bursting forward and he's onside.

01:24:09It's Morgan Gibbs-White for Forrest.

01:24:11Hope is restored.

01:24:16Tielemans into McGinn.

01:24:18Oh, the goalkeeper's in no man's land here.

01:24:21And Sion McGinn makes him play.

01:24:29Ayari Kostoulis is in there.

01:24:32Blasted home by Ruta.

01:24:36Lugachukwu tries to send it away.

01:24:38Sliding in.

01:24:39But Yasin Ayari collects it here.

01:24:41Oh, it's the perfect start to the second half for Brandon Hove Albion.

01:24:47And it goes to Huang.

01:24:50Huang's ball across and Wolves in front.

01:24:53As far as Mane, he goes down and wins the penalty.

01:25:03So Huang, with an opportunity to give Wolves a 2-0 lead.

01:25:08An opportunity he takes.

01:25:13Mane's onside, no question of that.

01:25:15And he has a goal!

01:25:16And he has a goal!

01:25:17And it's three!

01:25:18A big moment, a big day for Wolves.

01:25:25I know you were pleased for your old team there.

01:25:28One of your other old teams as a player, West Ham, in big trouble.

01:25:32Yeah, it seems that way, doesn't it?

01:25:33I thought that when they appointed Nuno, that they would start to move themselves away and we'd see an upturn.

01:25:39It hasn't quite gone that way yet.

01:25:41I'm sure they'll be doing their best in January to give him some support and try and give themselves an opportunity.

01:25:47Because that gap just seems to be widening.

01:25:49Nottingham Forest haven't quite capitalised, but Leeds have moved themselves away from it.

01:25:53So, fantastic win for Wolves.

01:25:54Absolutely delighted for Rob as well, because I know he's working his socks off there and he's got their first victory, which will feel like a big one.

01:26:00But West Ham, with an awful lot of work to do to move away from that bottom three.

01:26:03Big game against Forest on Tuesday, of course.

01:26:05Now, we've loved having you here, haven't we?

01:26:06We've had a great day today.

01:26:07We've all been in since 12 o'clock, watching all the matches.

01:26:10I'm sure you've had a lovely time as well.

01:26:12Yeah, it's been fantastic.

01:26:12But you'd much rather be managing.

01:26:14Of course.

01:26:14Would you?

01:26:16Well, yeah, this has been great.

01:26:19It's not quite as stressful as managing, but I do miss being on the touchline.

01:26:22It's a fantastic feeling.

01:26:23So, hopefully back soon.

01:26:24Hopefully something comes up that you feel you want to do more than spend time with Shea and I.

01:26:29Yeah, yeah.

01:26:29Good choice, really.

01:26:31OK, here's how the Premier League table looks after 20 games played.

01:26:36Back-to-back draws for Manchester City means Arsenal have a six-point lead at the top.

01:26:40Brentford have made their joint best start to a Premier League season and are only four points off Liverpool in fourth.

01:26:44In fact, a mere four points separates fifth all the way down to 14th.

01:26:47Leeds extend their gap above the bottom three to a healthy eight points after a seventh match without defeat.

01:26:52But Crystal Palace's run of poor form continues with a fourth league loss in five.

01:26:56Now, it's time for the results of Goal of the Month.

01:26:59And in third place is Fulham's Harry Wilson on 23.92% of the vote.

01:27:22This is relevant because Morgan Rodgers got 23.96% of the vote.

01:27:28Talk about tight margins for his goal against Manchester United.

01:27:31So, the winner with 26.46%.

01:27:35Well, it was a team goal, really, wasn't it?

01:27:36But it was finished by Dominic Calvert-Lewin for Leeds United.

01:27:39Leeds did that well, though.

01:27:48Stack.

01:27:49Super ball from him and to Aronson.

01:27:53Numbers forward here, Leeds.

01:27:55Aronson.

01:27:56Calvert-Lewin!

01:27:56It's a fabulous team goal.

01:28:06And Calvert-Lewin's incredible streak in front of Goal continues.

01:28:14Scored on the 28th of December against Sunderland.

01:28:17A lovely team goal.

01:28:18Happy with that one?

01:28:19Yeah.

01:28:19Yeah, I thought they were all good goals, but nice to see a team goal win.

01:28:22Thanks for coming.

01:28:23Thanks for coming, Shea, as well.

01:28:24We'll see you again, definitely.

01:28:25That's it from all of us.

01:28:26So, the festive period ends with Arsenal six points clear at the top of the table

01:28:29as Manchester City are left frustrated by the Enzo Late Show.

01:28:33Good night.

01:28:41Good night.
