00:00Welcome to Match of the Dead.
00:30Welcome to Match of the Dead.
01:00Welcome to Match of the Dead.
01:30We'll hope the momentum generated in the 5-4 defeat remains.
01:34Samuel Trukwase has earned just his second Premier League start after scoring a brace on Tuesday night.
01:40He has five goal involvements in seven appearances despite playing for just 229 minutes so far.
01:46His inclusion one of two changes with Timothy Castagne named in the XI for the first time in seven weeks.
01:52Brian Sessegnon is out with a hamstring injury.
01:56Crystal Palace have suffered a big loss to their back line.
01:59Daniel Munoz is unavailable due to a knee problem.
02:02So a rare outing for Nathaniel Klein who makes just his second appearance of the season
02:06while Eddie Nketiah reaches 50 games for Crystal Palace and starts his first league game of the campaign.
02:12Both out of contracts at the end of the season.
02:16A new contract for Christmas.
02:21A bit of a quirk of this fixture.
02:23Just one of the last 12 Premier League meetings have been won by the home side.
02:27Smith-Rowe.
02:34Corner kick, first of the game.
02:43The Wobie towards the near post.
02:46Mateto got a touch.
02:49Another chance for Fulham.
02:50The Wobie delivers low.
03:00Smith-Rowe.
03:02Whether that was intended or not,
03:04it turned into a brilliant chance for Emile Smith-Rowe.
03:08And it took a deflection away.
03:10It was checked very quickly for a handball.
03:14Fulham had conceded just three goals at home.
03:17That was until Tuesday night.
03:20Shipping five against Manchester City.
03:25Warton.
03:27Again, the Ranger passing from Warton.
03:30Sumptuous.
03:31Finds Mitchell.
03:33Gay in support.
03:36Warton.
03:37Nketiah!
03:41Fabulous goal!
03:42Nketiah marks his 50th Palace appearance.
03:51To say they make it look so simple.
03:54Warton outside of the boot, first of all.
03:58Mitchell biding his time, assessing his options.
04:00Again, Warton.
04:03Maybe that pass was intended for Kamada, but Nketiah, quick of thought, clear of mind, and a devastating finish.
04:12Simplicity at its best, and Palace are in front.
04:16As it stands, Crystal Palace will move into the top four of the Premier League.
04:24And when he was appointed in February 2024, they were 15th.
04:27A couple of trophies, European adventures, but his future's still very much up in the air.
04:37Berger.
04:40Oh, Smith-Rowe takes that beautifully!
04:42A brilliant save from Dean Henderson.
04:49Precision pass from Berger.
04:52And that touch from Smith-Rowe afforded him a lot more space to get the shot away.
05:04Klein picks up the loose ball.
05:08Klein felt he was caught there.
05:10Well, there was a check in the background there.
05:14Video assist the referee for a penalty.
05:18It was inside the box.
05:20It looked like Anderson did catch Nathaniel Klein.
05:22I think he can count himself slightly fortunate there, Joachim Anderson.
05:34Wilson.
05:36Chuck Waze.
05:40Oh, what a goal!
05:59That is absolutely sensational.
06:01Palace looks compact.
06:06No danger.
06:07But the slick one-two between Raul Jimenez.
06:13And then the finish from Wilson.
06:15It is perfection.
06:17And he's scored a few exceptional goals this season.
06:21Another one to add to the list.
06:23And he draws Fulham level.
06:24And this is Crystal Palace's 24th match of the season already in their fourth game of nine in 27 days.
06:35The success comes with a very busy schedule.
06:38Camado.
06:40Camado.
06:43Mateta!
06:47It was tracked all the way by Calvin Bassi.
06:50And Bassi was never going to allow him a clear attempt on goal.
06:54Smith-Rowe.
06:55Camado.
06:56Camado.
06:57Camado.
06:57Camado.
06:57Camado.
06:58Camado.
06:58Camado.
06:59Camado.
06:59Camado.
07:00Camado.
07:00Smith-Rowe.
07:01Delicate touch towards Raul Jimenez.
07:02Smith-Rowe takes it back over.
07:06Now Traquese.
07:09Cross in.
07:10Oh, off the post.
07:11And the follow-up is there.
07:13Emile Smith-Rowe.
07:15Now Smith-Rowe scored against City.
07:20And now he's got another back-to-back games.
07:23And it was the midfielder who drove Fulham forward.
07:27It won't be so unfortunate not to score with that header.
07:31Now this is being checked for a handball against Raul Jimenez.
07:36And it's also being checked for an offside.
07:39Chuck Wase.
07:40And it has been disallowed.
07:47Chuck Wase is offside.
07:50It's a real shame.
07:51It was another beautifully crafted Fulham goal.
07:58And Marco Silva, who does usually have an air of mild irritation,
08:02can't help but grimace to himself.
08:05Cristania pick off the mark to intercept.
08:18That's a lovely ball.
08:21Chuck Wase.
08:21Hey!
08:25Well, whether that was an attempt on goal or a cross,
08:29nearly had the desired effect.
08:31Pino lays it back for Wharton.
08:37Kamada allowed to turn.
08:40Mitchell.
08:43Delivers.
08:44Uche!
08:46The quick break was a dangerous delivery.
08:50And Uche, he's claiming a corner.
08:54And he's probably right, yeah.
08:55Just nicked off Calvin Bassi.
08:57Pino wriggles away from a lot of pressure.
09:03Kamada finds Mitchell.
09:06First time ball across!
09:08Uche can't put it away.
09:11Leno quick off his line.
09:13The excellent play once again from Palace.
09:15We've got to say Leno got this exactly right.
09:23Wharton delivers low.
09:24It's left.
09:25Pino!
09:25Very cleverly done by Crystal Palace.
09:37Pino delivers.
09:38Oh, it's there!
09:41Mark Gay!
09:42Receives the adulation that the celebrating Crystal Palace support.
09:53They came so close with the previous one.
09:58Gay into the middle.
10:01It is an unsavable header.
10:03Guiding it beyond Bert Leno.
10:06This is heady days to be a fan of Crystal Palace as they continue to hit new heights.
10:16Full-time at Craven Cottage.
10:19It's Spill and 1-1.
10:20It's Spill and 1-1.
10:20Crystal Palace 2.
10:23My feeling was the longer the game took, it was more likely that we win the game.
10:28We created the chances and then we decided to lose a set play.
10:31When you see our schedule, really playing game after game and then striking back in the last ten minutes.
10:39This is really amazing to watch and credit to the players.
10:43Everyone's working hard, you know, not just in the games but on the training pitch.
10:46The players that play, the players that don't play and like Sean today, when me and Clanny have come in,
10:50obviously we're ready to help the team and do what we need to do.
10:53So, I think we're in a good stead and we need to keep going like that.
10:55You should have done better in the last minutes of the game, the way you conceded.
10:59But, of course, the way we had some good moments in the game.
11:02But football is about moments, good performance, about results too.
11:06And, of course, we have to combine everything for us to take points,
11:11to get the points that we probably deserve but you are not getting.
11:13And football is like that.
11:14It's about to be clinical, to be ruthless and to be resilient in all the moments.
11:18It's your 24th match of the season, it's a busy December.
11:21I mean, do you put much burden on that?
11:24Because you do have an extremely busy schedule.
11:26Honestly, it felt like we had a long break now.
11:30Because we played Thursday, Sunday, Wednesday, this was tight.
11:34I was just having two days in between and now we had three days in between.
11:37We gave the players two days off and then we met yesterday and it felt like we had holidays.
11:42How many days off now?
11:43The players asked for two but I said, no, we can't always have two days off.
11:47So, we will meet tomorrow, we need recovery.
11:49The players like to be together, the players like to play together
11:53and this is what they showed in a very impressive way today.
11:56We'll get on to the impressive Palace in a moment.
11:58But Shea, seven defeats in ten now for Fulham and Marco Silva's frustration was coming through there, wasn't it?
12:03Because this equals the worst period that he's had as manager of Fulham.
12:07Yeah.
12:08And there's just something that he feels is lacking because they're actually playing really well.
12:12Yeah.
12:13I think 63% position.
12:14They didn't play bad today and I actually really like Marco Silva as a manager.
12:17They've got real personality.
12:18I have no qualms or doubts that he'll get them, I think they're four points or above the relegation zone.
12:23Burning away next.
12:24But I think Marco Silva and the players, some of the players, I love Harry Walson of course.
12:28There's a number of players.
12:29Chuck Waze has come into the team in the last couple of games.
12:31And there's some exciting players as well.
12:33It's just not getting a rub of the green.
12:34And you can see he was really angry as well.
12:36You can see the winning goal from a set play, which most managers are.
12:39But I think they'll be totally fine.
12:41Let's talk Palace then, shall we, Thomas.
12:43And the man who really made them tick today, the always impressive it seems at the moment, Adam Morton.
12:49Yeah, I think he's still a young player by the age of 21.
12:51You don't quite know in this day and age.
12:53But the way he moves around the pitch, he looks so calm and he hasn't even played 50 Premier League games yet.
12:58And that's why I'm so impressed with him.
13:00Because, you know, we see him, sometimes I think he just jogs around.
13:03He doesn't get a sweat on because he knows his position where he needs to be, that nobody can get the ball off him.
13:09And the players, of course, look for him because he has this ability to open the play up and look at this.
13:15This ball outside the left foot doesn't get any better.
13:17I mean, I've tried so many times, but it doesn't never come off.
13:20And not just that.
13:21He plays it wide with the outside of his left.
13:23He's still there.
13:24And as I just said, his teammates, they keep looking for him.
13:27And he looked for Kamada in this particular case.
13:29But then Ketia picked up the ball.
13:31And as I said, you know, being so central, being still so inexperienced and yet having such an effect on this team is really impressive.
13:40I mean, it has to be said Smith-Rowe doesn't pick him up.
13:42And yet Adam Wharton knows exactly where he needs to go.
13:45He had his eyes on Kamada, as I said before.
13:47And yet, you know, this is the accuracy, the pace of it.
13:51This is what happens.
13:52And eventually the ball ends up in the goal.
13:55And here we see as well, the ability, as I said before, not to just pass it, but win the ball back.
13:59And this is a modern number six that passes the ball, but also wins it back.
14:03And most of his balls reach his teammates.
14:05I think he's got an accuracy of 95%.
14:08You'd say he belongs to some of the best passers in the league.
14:12But also this pass, I think, is absolutely incredible.
14:15He takes out two players.
14:16He knows exactly where everybody is.
14:18His orientation around the pitch is constantly, it's on.
14:21You know, he turns his head around.
14:22He knows where he is.
14:23He knows where his teammates are.
14:25Absolutely impressive.
14:26And there you go.
14:27Keep showing for the ball in a pace that I think is comfortable that you can keep or maintain for 90 minutes.
14:33And that's why, in the end, you have a player not only can pass the ball, but also take three kicks in corners.
14:39And this is, I think Shea said, this is almost an assist to an assist because it just resulted to the goal, the 2-1 that Marc Gay scored.
14:46And there you go.
14:47Crystal Palace, the best start of the season in their Premier League history.
14:50I know what you're saying about the kind of the ease.
14:52It's almost a nonchalance, isn't it?
14:54Nothing looks like it's that much effort for him.
14:58He moves so easily.
14:59It strikes me as a player you don't have to overly coach.
15:02He understands the position.
15:03He sometimes stands still and the game runs around him.
15:06And he knows the pass before it even comes to him.
15:08A lot of that stuff is really strong.
15:09Look at the stats from today.
15:11Absolutely phenomenal.
15:12He knows what he's going to do with the ball before it arrives.
15:14And that's because his brain is working a step ahead of the players around him.
15:17He's scanning always, as Thomas rightly says.
15:19And that pass, and the players on the pitch, they understand it's a pass forward as well.
15:23And the way to pass is perfect.
15:25And stats like that and a performance like that will surely only solidify his presence in Thomas Tuchel's squad.
15:30That'll be interesting because for me he's one of the most gifted midfielders in the Premier League.
15:34Does he get into the team for the World Cup?
15:36He's definitely on the plane in my opinion.
15:38But does he start?
15:39Well, he's been there.
15:40The last two games he was involved.
15:42Of course, he'll be in the mix.
15:43Will he start?
15:44Not quite sure.
15:45It's still a long season for him to go.
15:47But he's definitely one of those players Thomas Tuchel will look at.
15:50Let's have a look at Crystal Palace's defence this season, which has been very, very impressive.
15:54Second only to Arsenal.
15:55And actually in terms of goals conceded from open play, only six, which is just one ahead of Arsenal.
16:02So it takes something really special to breach that defence.
16:05And we saw something very special.
16:07Yeah, this was a special goal.
16:08And I'm glad we've shown it because normally when a team loses, we don't get a chance to show the goal.
16:12But this goal, I think if someone like a Man City or one of the top teams scores this goal,
16:16you know, you're talking about, look at the, we've put a little bit of a pass down in the bottom right-hand corner.
16:20But nearly every sort of member of the team, Fulham gets a touch, gets a pass.
16:24But, you know, you talk about Marco Silva.
16:25Is he under pressure?
16:26You know for a fact this is what he does in training.
16:28You know, waves of attack, you know, players are doing the fundamentals, right?
16:31Keep an eye on Harry Wilson at the bottom of the picture.
16:33He is a top, top player.
16:35I do believe in that.
16:36But again, look, there's passing.
16:37They're moving.
16:38And you ask Crystal Palace, can they do better here?
16:39Can we defend?
16:40And I don't think they've done a lot wrong, if I'm going to be brutally honest.
16:42Again, Wilson's showing for it.
16:44It's just really patient in the build-up.
16:46And this last bit, when it just comes around the box, they come alive.
16:48Brilliant touch on the outside of Harry's left foot.
16:51And again, this finish just sort of speaks volume for itself.
16:54But again, if you're looking at the Palace point of view,
16:56Clasin will be looking at that thinking, what could we have done to stop this?
16:58And I don't think they could have done very much.
17:00I really don't.
17:01I think it's just a brilliant touch around the corner from Harry.
17:03And this finish, I mean, you could watch this to the cows come home.
17:06This is just a phenomenal finish with the outside of the foot.
17:08And, you know, he's a player really in form, Harry Wilson.
17:11I was at Derby us as a young player.
17:13And I just love to see how his career's, you know, moved on in the Premier League.
17:17I think he scored a happy recent for his country as well.
17:19He's really on top of his game.
17:21Six goals and seven for club and country now for Harry Wilson.
17:24As for Crystal Palace, that's three away wins on the road, on the bounce for them.
17:29And the best start to a Premier League season ever after 15 games.
17:33They're in the top four.
17:34Oliver Glasner, though, still last week, obviously against Manchester United in the post-match comments there.
17:40He was saying he wasn't quite happy with how he'd strengthened his squad.
17:43He hasn't signed a deal which will keep him on beyond this season.
17:46You know him.
17:47I do.
17:48I tried to sign him many years ago when I was at Stuttgart.
17:51And I had a conversation with him.
17:52And I was impressed back then.
17:54Unfortunately, he didn't join us.
17:55But ever since I followed his career.
17:57And I'm so impressed because he usually outperforms the budget.
18:00And look at Palace.
18:01You know, when he came in, soon after Michael Olisse left.
18:04And they kept on getting better.
18:06Ebrece Eze left at the end of last season, beginning of this season.
18:10And yet, they have the best start to their season.
18:12This is so impressive.
18:13And I know he's in a strong position.
18:15He said to the owner, Marquet needs to stay.
18:18I need to keep this player.
18:19Otherwise, probably I'm gone.
18:20So, he's very powerful at Palace.
18:23But everybody knows there, he got them into a position where they've never been before.
18:27They've won the FA Cup.
18:28So, if you're a Crystal Palace fan right now, you've got so much to cheer on from.
18:31You break the bag to keep him.
18:32Well, they probably should do.
18:34But I'm not quite sure with his contract running out, he might aim for an even bigger club.
18:39Or his ambition, yeah.
18:40Okay, thank you.
18:41Well, Brighton against West Ham is on the way after November's goal of the month.
18:46Sunderland back in.
18:48Sadiqe to win it back.
18:49He's in a heap.
18:50But Njai is racing forward.
18:51Great feet from Njai looking for the opening.
18:53And that is the opening goal from Illaman.
18:54Njai!
18:55Njai picked up the ball and skipped through the Sunderland challenges.
18:56And a great finish.
18:57Rufus didn't move.
18:58Trosser.
18:59Sunderland back in, Sadiqe to win it back, he's in a heap but N'Jai is racing forward,
19:08great feat from N'Jai looking for the opening and that is the opening goal from Illaman N'Jai.
19:15N'Jai picked up the ball and skipped through the Sunderland challenges and a great finish,
19:20Rufus didn't move.
19:27Trosser.
19:29Space opens up for Trossard now, oh that is fantastic, what a goal by Leandro Trossard,
19:42it has got to be a perfect shot to get past Robin Roos from that range, it is perfect.
19:48Big gap to the right of Petrovic in that Bournemouth goal which Buendia finds!
20:01The Emi Buendia revival continues!
20:06Here's Doku, full of energy, oh it's magnificent!
20:19Three for Sidi, simple pass back to Jeremy Doku, who gets a hold of that so so sweetly.
20:31Quang, Wharton, Pinot, oh he deserves that!
20:43What a peach of a goal from Jeremy Pinot!
20:50Morgan Rodgers, who's already scored this afternoon, does so again and Aston Villa in front,
21:04Morgan Rodgers making it look so very easy, he's now just guided it beautifully over the wall.
21:12Great challenge out, Paulinho Richarlison looking to lob David Raya, and he has!
21:24A piece of impudence and brilliance from Richarlison, wonderfully done!
21:35Oh no, a gifted form of possession, Adams goes for goal, he's spotted Bruce, off his line!
21:44What a sensational goal that is from the American, he doesn't score many!
21:50Take, take a bow, Tyler Adams!
22:01Ball by Tarkovsky, Dewsbury Hall, fabulous take and goal!
22:07That's a goal of the highest quality!
22:10Look at that first touch, and a very cool one into the back of the net as well!
22:14And look at the space that he has, on the edge of the penalty area, time to control, and time to finish, in emphatic style!

23:01The latest episode of the Wayne Rooney Show drops at 6am tomorrow.
23:05Highlights from the Women's Super League follows us on the Women's Football Show here on BBC One.
23:10The Champions League returns on Wednesday, all the goals on the iPlayer and BBC Sport website from 10 o'clock.
23:15And then you can see the best of the action from 10.40pm on BBC One.
23:19To the south coast next, where Brighton have lost just one of their 16 Premier League meetings with West Ham,
23:26who dropped into the relegation zone in midweek.
23:29Your commentator is Chris Wise.
23:32The form of Leeds United in the past week has increased the pressure again on the Hammers.
23:38That's despite the gutsy draw West Ham collected at Old Trafford on Thursday.
23:42Only a win here will make a Sunday escape from the bottom three possible for Nuno's men.
23:48Brighton's leading scorer Danny Welbeck back in the starting 11, having been rested for the chaotic home defeat to Aston Villa.
23:55And Jorginho Ruter available to Fabian Herzler again, having been forced to sit out that 4-3 loss.
24:01With less than 72 hours since their last game, West Ham changes were inevitable.
24:07There are four from Nuno Espirito Santo, including a first league start since the opening weekend for Guido Rodriguez.
24:13Lucas Paquetard's back from suspension, Crescensio Somerville returns after injury and Max Killman comes into a reshaped Hammers back three.
24:22Lewis Dunk and Paul van Hecker.
24:32It's patient from Brighton and then in it goes and it was missed by Veefer, who looked like he'd arrived on the scene with impeccable timing.
24:45But he didn't get a touch on it at all, the Brighton right back.
24:48Now for Panos.
24:52Wan-Bissaka, there's nobody in the box at the moment, but those in Claret and Blue are coming and Paquetard's going to take aim from distance and Verbruggen needed to get there.
25:02Now Bowen.
25:09Dunk has time and Brighton will clear.
25:13Yeah, that bounce right in front of Verbruggen, who had good vision of it from the moment it left the foot of Paquetard.
25:21Well, the last time Nuno Espirito Santo faced Brighton in a Premier League game, his Nottingham Forest team beat them 7-0.
25:28And then he came here a few weeks after that in March of last season and won an FA Cup quarterfinal as well.
25:33He's not the most welcome face around here.
25:36Paquetard got a little poke on it and then Somerville's away from Dunk.
25:40Somerville, he didn't get the angle right.
25:42That is a waste for West Ham and I think Crescensio Somerville will be the first to say it.
25:49Scruffy from Brighton, from most of those in their defensive line.
25:54See what Somerville was trying to do, he wanted to whip it beyond Verbruggen.
25:59There he is, the Houston-born German, Fabian Herzler.
26:03Houston, one of the World Cup host cities next year.
26:06And who should be there first up on the 14th of June?
26:10Germany for a game against Curaçao.
26:13That will feel to Fabian Herzler like it was written in the stars.
26:19Carioli with Fernandes doing all he can to stay with him.
26:23De Kuiper.
26:25Ruter, that might have been heading into the corner.
26:28Juve certainly thinks so.
26:29He's celebrating the block like it was a goal.
26:32It was nearly a Brighton goal.
26:34And this was swift and nifty from Brighton.
26:40De Kuiper with a lovely flight on the delivery towards Ruter.
26:44Was it destined for the bottom corner?
26:47Difficult to say.
26:53Few shouts around me from Brighton supporters for their team to sharpen up a bit here.
26:57Well won by Pakitar.
27:03Bowen away from Dunk.
27:05Not once but twice.
27:06Oh, Jarrod Bowen still going.
27:08Bowen shoots.
27:09Verbruggen save.
27:10Somerville!
27:11And that's a super stop for Bruggen.
27:14The first one was good.
27:15The second one was excellent.
27:17Well the hunger from Lukas Pakitar initially to win the ball.
27:23And then Jarrod Bowen with some magical feet and some great physicality tiptoed his way through half of Brighton's back line.
27:31And Verbruggen did so well to A get to that initial shot because it came off Kadiyolu.
27:38But then to get back to his feet and deny Somerville top work from the Dutchman in Brighton's goal.
27:45Well Brighton's substitutes do tend to make a difference.
27:53They've scored the most goals and got the most assists in the Premier League this season from players coming off the bench.
27:59Is it going to happen today?
28:01Hinshelwoods.
28:02Gomez.
28:03Welbeck.
28:06Upfield by Kilman.
28:08A misplaced by Van Hecker and suddenly it's the West Ham substitute Wilson who's on to it.
28:12Callum Wilson looking for Bowen who reached it and he scores as well.
28:19What a precious goal from West Ham's captain.
28:24Didn't really have a right to get there Jarrod Bowen.
28:28But he always backs himself.
28:31And it all came about through a long ball forward from Kilman which was completely misjudged by Van Hecker.
28:38Callum Wilson trying to slip Bowen in.
28:40Cadiolo should have been favourite in that situation.
28:45And he didn't commit.
28:46And Bowen fancied it.
28:47And that was the difference.
28:49And after two months without a Premier League goal.
28:52Jarrod Bowen has one again for West Ham United.
28:56And what a massive one it might be.
28:58As it stands.
28:59West Ham coming out of the Premier League's bottom three.
29:02Has been a growing sense in this game that this story was possible for West Ham.
29:08Hang on.
29:09Just missed it.
29:10Suddenly it might be 1-1.
29:11Areola got fingertips to it.
29:13He got it onto the bar.
29:14And Brighton can't capitalise.
29:17Well that's a stroke of luck.
29:18They nearly immediately relinquished the fine position they got themselves into.
29:24And Areola with a really important touch onto the bar.
29:28Ten of Brighton's Premier League goals this season in the Premier League.
29:34Have come beyond the 75th minute.
29:37Costoulas.
29:38Can the teenager make it happen.
29:43Costoulas he nearly did.
29:48That would have been a glorious moment for the 18 year old.
29:52Brighton not hanging around.
29:54Here he is again Costoulas.
29:57Same position.
29:59Boscagli.
30:02All hands to the pump for West Ham United to get these three points that will mean so much.
30:08Back in by Hinshelwards.
30:10And the chance for Ruter.
30:12The save from Areola.
30:14There he is again.
30:15And now he scores.
30:17Jorginho Ruter for Brighton.
30:20And West Ham could resist no more.
30:25Closing Claret and Blue hoping for a reprieve.
30:29They were beginning to knock at the door pretty loudly Brighton.
30:33That initial chance for Ruter.
30:34And then Van Hecker gave it back to him.
30:37And somehow he squeezes it through the legs of Areola.
30:43West Ham were wondering whether Costoulas would be penalised for a high boot.
30:47Or Mavropanos.
30:48But VAR wants to have a look at whether the ball has come off Ruter's body and onto his arm there.
31:02But they're happy that it has not hit the hand.
31:09A sigh of relief from Jorginho Ruter.
31:13And indeed from Fabian Herzler and the rest.
31:15West Ham's latest chance for a clean sheet has gone.
31:20Maybe the chance for a rare away three points has gone too.
31:31Freddie Potts with the hunger.
31:32Wan-Bissaka.
31:35Beautifully weighted.
31:36Bowen with the chance.
31:38And from nowhere a West Ham corner.
31:41All that Brighton pressure.
31:43And it might yet be the Hammers with the last chance of the game.
31:48In it comes. The header from Mavropanos is wide.
31:50Oh, what a chance.
31:53Missing by a whisker.
31:56And indeed it is the last chance of what was a frantic finale at the Amex Stadium.
32:03Started slowly but it got going in the end.
32:06Brighton won. West Ham won.
32:09We wanted more, definitely.
32:12But in the end we didn't deserve more.
32:15Because we didn't play with energy, with intensity in the first half.
32:21And therefore we have to be honest and that it wasn't our best performance today.
32:26It feels like a defeat, ultimately.
32:28You know, it's a point on the board.
32:30But the situation that we're in, the position that we were in.
32:33I thought we'd done enough to win the game.
32:35What did you make of the goal?
32:36Because I know there was a bit of delay while VAR were assessing whether there was a handball by Ruter.
32:41Maybe a high foot as well?
32:42High foot handball.
32:43I think it's clear.
32:46You feel like either of those two could have been penalised?
32:49Yeah, VAR checked it.
32:50I saw it also.
32:52It's different opinions.
32:53What can we do?
32:54I don't understand why they give the goal, honestly.
32:58Honestly.
33:00I saw it and I don't understand.
33:03I don't understand, honestly.
33:04But we'll get into that in a few moments' time.
33:07It was a match that really has struggled to make it as second place on a two-game match of the day.
33:13It wasn't a classic, was it, Shane?
33:15No, the first half was really bad, actually really poor.
33:17But it did pick up second half and thankfully we got a couple of goals.
33:20It did.
33:21The last 20 or 30 minutes gave us something to talk about.
33:24And we'll start talking about the way West Ham have set themselves up.
33:27They're quite happy to play without the ball.
33:28I think so.
33:29The position they're in now in the bottom three, it's about finding stability again,
33:33defending as a team and, of course, use your moments when you break away.
33:36And I think today the front three with Paqueta, Somerville and Bowen,
33:40they worked very hard as a team, as a small team within the team.
33:44And that's what they needed.
33:45But, of course, the basis was always defending.
33:47Of course, this is when they have the possession.
33:49But Paqueta is such a good player.
33:51When he gets it, he immediately knows where to put the ball.
33:54And this creates a very good chance for Somerville,
33:56even though Paqueta is a bit lucky there.
33:59And this set the tone because, as we said,
34:01it wasn't about having possession and exciting your own fans.
34:04It's about winning this game, coming away with three points.
34:07And every time these moments came along, they were very, very quick.
34:10The front three again, they fancied their chances.
34:13And, of course, it created a big gap between the front three and the rest of the team.
34:17But it was just about finishing it off.
34:19And that's what they did.
34:20Here you see the entire team in the box.
34:22Everybody's working for each other.
34:23And they might get another opportunity.
34:25It's a long way from your own goal to the opposite goal.
34:28But they managed it.
34:29That's what you see.
34:30Paqueta wins the header.
34:31And it all goes in one direction.
34:33Bowen on the left.
34:34He goes all the way.
34:35And it's a sprint.
34:36That's what you need to do because these are the only opportunities.
34:38And they end up in front of goal.
34:40Somerville, in the end, doesn't score because it's good defending.
34:44But it's for Brighton, who have a comfortable possession.
34:47They always need to be aware because Paqueta now, you see, he also defends.
34:51He works for the team.
34:52And what happens is Bowen goes all the way.
34:54And, again, the front three players end up in the box and get a very, very good opportunity.
34:58But, of course, Shea, as you would agree, for Bruggen with two amazing saves.
35:02Yeah.
35:03Yeah, brilliant.
35:04And this is where we come to the goal.
35:06Again, you see, it's quite solid in the middle.
35:08Very, very good defensively.
35:10And Wilson, who just came on, fancies his chances.
35:13He's the sort of player that made the difference.
35:14Van Hecke, of course, without mistakes.
35:16But that's what you need.
35:17You need a little bit of luck.
35:18And you need to anticipate.
35:19And that's where you see Bowen.
35:21I thought he would go more to the right.
35:22But then he knows himself.
35:23He needs to score with his right.
35:25But he's stronger with the left one.
35:26And it wasn't an easy one.
35:27He put it away.
35:28And this one to finish off with again.
35:31Wilson on the counterattack.
35:32It starts with everyone, more or less, behind the ball in their own box.
35:36And they get the ball again.
35:37And here's on the break.
35:38Wilson, full sprint.
35:40Keeps going.
35:41And those were the chances.
35:42This could have been 2-0.
35:44Buried the game.
35:45Unfortunately, for West Ham, they didn't.
35:46And as we saw, Brighton, they came back.
35:48But it is about the mindset.
35:50You know, you have to defend.
35:51You have to suffer as a team.
35:52And you have to rely on your front players to go all the way to sprint and work hard.
35:56So they've got their game plan.
35:57On 83 minutes, Nuno makes three substitutions.
36:00At this point, they're 1-0 up.
36:01And obviously, it doesn't have the desired effect and impact that he would want from those
36:07substitutions.
36:08Would that explain a bit of his frustration?
36:10No, I don't know.
36:11I feel for Nuno a bit because I think the goal is controversial.
36:13But I do feel he's bringing three fresh sets of legs on.
36:15A lot of height as well.
36:16So he's going to sort of defend the box.
36:17You're away from home in the Premier League.
36:19I wouldn't be too hard on Nuno for the substitutions.
36:22But I do feel his frustrations.
36:24We'll look at the goal.
36:25I think the goal was harsh.
36:26I felt, you know, Simon Hooper.
36:27I think there's a high foot in the game.
36:29I know that we're going to talk about the handball in a bit as well.
36:32But if you just show the goal itself that they conceded, I think it's, I don't know.
36:36It's frustrating, isn't it?
36:37This comes from a corner originally, Gabby.
36:39And then it comes in.
36:40And the high foot here, we've got Mavropanas and Kostoulas.
36:43And you see the height is up here, right?
36:45So Mavropanas is six foot four.
36:47He jumps off the ground.
36:48I know there's a handball when it comes to Rooter as well.
36:50And we'll talk about that in a minute.
36:51Ariello makes a great save.
36:52Van Hecke keeps it alive and they put the ball in the back of the net.
36:55But I want to sort of concentrate on this first part.
36:57Simon Hooper, you can see through the gap.
36:58Referee's got a clear view.
36:59Look, he's off the ground.
37:01Centre half as well.
37:02He's up off the ground.
37:03It's not endangering an opponent, Gabby.
37:04I don't know what is.
37:05It's so high.
37:06And again, his head goes back.
37:07You see, his head rocks back.
37:08Because I think it might hit his shin.
37:10And I think that should be given for a foul for West Ham.
37:12And so you feel for Nuno.
37:13He's angry after the game.
37:14See, you know, that's clearly hitting him in the head.
37:16And I know Mavropanas doesn't go down.
37:18I know he doesn't look for it.
37:19And then we say, one week,
37:21players don't make the job for the referee easy by diving around, rolling about.
37:25He's honest, stays on his feet and doesn't get a foul.
37:28So I do really feel for West Ham away from home again.
37:30They're struggling at the bottom of the league.
37:31And you hear Bowen as well.
37:32He says, it feels like a defeat.
37:34Here's the handball.
37:35Now it hits his leg and then hits his arm.
37:37And the mad thing about the rule is,
37:38if that goes in, I think it gets disallowed on that first one.
37:42You know, Van Hecke keeps it alive,
37:43comes back to Ruder and he scores.
37:45So that part of the handball side, I think, for me, is okay.
37:48It's just a high foot I don't agree with.
37:49Yeah, so you're absolutely right.
37:50Had it gone in and it obviously rebounded off the goalkeeper and then went in later,
37:55it stood because, if we have a look at the actual law pertaining to this,
37:59it's an offence if a player scores in the opponent's goal immediately after the ball has touched their hand or arm,
38:05even if it's accidental.
38:06And the mitigating factor is it wasn't immediate.
38:08So we can clear that up and say whether you like it or not,
38:11the correct decision was reached on that.
38:13But from what we understand, they didn't look at the high kick.
38:17And as the referee was there in front of it and could clearly see it.
38:21I don't get it because obviously with the rule, you've just read it,
38:23you know, it makes sense.
38:24You may not like it, but it makes sense.
38:25It's understandable.
38:26But with the high foot, you know, Simon Hooper, the referee,
38:29he was in a good position.
38:30He could see it.
38:31And it seems to me that he's relying too much on the VAR because, you know,
38:34you don't have to knock his head off in order to give a foul.
38:37It was dangerous play.
38:38And that's why I think a foul should have been given.
38:40I completely understand the frustration from the West Ham side,
38:44but why the referee never looked into it,
38:46that will be his secret because this for me is dangerous play.
38:50And fair play to Mavropanos.
38:51And you just said it, you know,
38:53normally you see players rolling on the floor complaining,
38:55but if that's what it takes to get a foul,
38:57then the game changes again.
38:59And this is not what fans want to see.
39:01They want to see honest play, but at the same time,
39:03they want these fouls to be given.
39:04At least that's how I see it.
39:06Yeah.
39:07And, of course, they have got a habit, haven't they,
39:08of coming into games and scoring late.
39:10They are top of the charts,
39:12joint with Liverpool when it comes to scoring in the last 15 minutes.
39:15And, of course, Doulas, who was actually involved in that incident,
39:17was a substitution who really did have an impact, didn't he?
39:19Yeah, he was a bright spark off the bench.
39:20He really was, Gabby.
39:21And I suppose you've got to give Brighton credit as well.
39:23You know, that stat shows that they keep going to the end.
39:26They keep, you know, pushing teams back.
39:27And, of course, just where Sam will be frustrated.
39:29But Brighton will be, I suppose, happy in the end to get a point from there.
39:32OK, we're going to talk Mo Salah and reveal the result of Goal of the Month
39:36shortly after all of yesterday's goals.
39:38Now Torres cross.
39:43And Kasher and the back scores!
39:48It's Pukai Osaka.
39:50Consul with a touch.
39:52And Trosso with a goal.
39:56Buendia!
39:58Absolute bedlam at Villapark.
40:03The ball pass comes here to Diaz.
40:05He's slammed out there! What a goal!
40:08And it comes towards...
40:10Oh, no!
40:11It's a brilliant run-in there!
40:12And a powerful header to give him the second!
40:15Cherki White.
40:17Lovely. Beautiful.
40:18What a goal!
40:19Bill Foden.
40:20Extraordinary.
40:22Luko Nien.
40:24He knows he's going.
40:25He's already walking.
40:29Oh, lovely pass.
40:30Ever Nielsen.
40:31Poor touch.
40:32Semenya still there!
40:34The goal is not going to stand.
40:36Ever Nielsen.
40:37Was in an offside position.
40:41Simons.
40:42Behind Van den Berg.
40:43Richarlison in the middle.
40:44It's Richarlison!
40:45It's 1-0 Tottenham!
40:50Simons with a heavy touch.
40:53He's done really well to win it back.
40:55Sammy Simons who's set on the opener.
40:56Could be in for a goal himself.
40:58Yes, he is!
40:59He's nice for Tottenham!
41:01Tewsbury Hall!
41:06Tewsbury Hall!
41:07The score!
41:09It did take a deflection on its way into the back of the net.
41:13Late first half chance for Everton and Jai.
41:16For Barry!
41:17Yes!
41:18Finally for Tjern O'Barrie!
41:22Teed up by O'Brien.
41:23And then fired back in.
41:25Quite brilliantly.
41:26Dewsbury Hall.
41:27That'll do for Everton very nicely.
41:31Guimarães.
41:33Difficult.
41:34Oh!
41:35Which he's got all the way in!
41:37Gordon.
41:38Nalang has made the run.
41:39And he's found.
41:40What a pass!
41:41And it he caught!
41:43And it is a record!
41:45I'd be very surprised if this does not result in a spot kick.
41:50Gordon to make it two!
41:54Pretty sure this is going to be a penalty.
41:57There is clear movement towards the ball.
42:01Ice-cool composure from Zean Fleming.
42:07And Eketike's onto the ball.
42:08What a chance this is!
42:10And he's taken it!
42:12Liverpool in front.
42:17Liverpool steal possession back very quickly again with Bradley!
42:20And Eketike's there!
42:21And he's put that one in as well!
42:24He has to score this.
42:27And Calvert knew it does!
42:32Aronson in now to Stack.
42:34Stack in on goal!
42:37And it's Gravenberg.
42:39Played through and allowed to run through to Suboslay!
42:42Oh!
42:43That's coolly done!
42:45And it comes from Stack.
42:46Alisson stays back!
42:48And it's Tanaka!
42:51Leeds have done it again!
42:53Well the astonishing news of the weekend really was in the post-match aftermath of that Leeds-Liverpool game with Mo Salah's comments about feeling like he was thrown under the bus and revealing that he had no relationship or he didn't have any communication with the manager.
43:07What did you make of all of that?
43:08Yeah, I fell for Mo Salah a little bit.
43:09I mean he's not started the last three games and when someone puts a camera or a microphone in your face after the game, when you come off away from the stadium and they've not won again, it's a frustrating time for a sub to not play.
43:21Especially a sub of Mo Salah's calibre.
43:23You know, he'll go down as one of the great players of all time at Liverpool Football Club.
43:27So the surprising thing that jumped off the page for me, how come Arna Slott's not took him into the office and had a sort of sit-down conversation with Mo Salah?
43:34You know, he scored over 400 games for Liverpool, scored 250 goals.
43:39This guy, you know, PFA Player of the Year a couple of months ago.
43:42This guy's a phenomenal player, not just for Liverpool but for the Premier League.
43:46So I'm really surprised.
43:47I know Mo's probably angry and I'm in the call later today, maybe he shouldn't have said some of the stuff Gabby, but we've been there ourselves.
43:51You don't play, you're angry, you're frustrated.
43:53And again, the team's struggling.
43:55And again, maybe it's because Liverpool have options in the forward areas that Mo's been rotated or not started.
44:00Because it feels like the balance, you know, the midfield are making mistakes this year.
44:04The defenders are making mistakes at the back.
44:06But Mo Salah, he said himself, feels like he's a bit of the scapegoat.
44:09I know what Shea's saying about thrusting a microphone, but this is a player who doesn't speak very often.
44:13So this was calculated.
44:15He knew what he was going to say would have a huge impact.
44:18And that now will be the story as they head to Milan to play Inter on Tuesday.
44:22I think it was a little bit calculated, but more his emotion.
44:25And I think, you know, a lot of damage has been done.
44:27I think he was wrong in what he was doing.
44:29And yet they should sit down and listen to each other because it's not over yet.
44:33They all have to, you know, get together.
44:35Whether it's the sporting director, the ownership group.
44:37Definitely Mo Salah and Arnest Lotton say damage has been done, but we can get this right.
44:42And it's about the club.
44:43It's about the individual as well.
44:44And sort it out.
44:45I think Mo Salah didn't seem to have people that he trusted enough to discuss this and say,
44:50I'm frustrated what to do.
44:51Because I'm sure people would have told him, you know, keep it to yourself.
44:54Speak to people, but don't go public because it's damage for everybody involved.
44:58And it's been done.
44:59But I still think there is time to get it right.
45:02But they have to do it quickly.
45:03And next week.
45:04Because, of course, Brighton is his last game before he goes off and plays in AFCON.
45:07Do you agree with a great player?
45:09Someone who's done so much for Liverpool Football Club.
45:11He's won seven major trophies.
45:13That the manager couldn't have said, Mo, come into my office.
45:15Let's have a sit down.
45:16This is what I think is going to happen.
45:18Just relax for a couple of weeks.
45:19You'll be back on the team next week at Brighton, for example.
45:21But he's really angry.
45:22He's cross, of course, and frustrated that he's not playing.
45:25And, of course, results aren't going as well.
45:27So, you know, he loves Liverpool through and through.
45:30So, it's a tough time for him.
45:31But I think a tough time for Liverpool and Arna Slott as well.
45:33Well, I've got you here, Thomas.
45:34So, we need to talk about Aston Villa.
45:36Please.
45:37Of course, Shay, we mustn't forget your time at Aston Villa as well.
45:40Thomas was better than my dad.
45:42They're now in a very good position in terms of the chasing pack, aren't they?
45:47In a week, it feels like things have turned around.
45:49Have they replaced Chelsea as the third team, if you like, in this title race?
45:53Maybe.
45:54But, you know, you listen to some of the Villa fans, they look into the top.
45:56You know, they probably think they can overtake Man City and Arsenal.
45:59And that's the mood around Villa Park right now, which is so great to see.
46:03But, you know, this is the emotion.
46:05But overall, you have to look at the numbers as well.
46:07Because sometimes, I know the management, they look into this.
46:10Maybe they are a little bit overperforming when they see these stats,
46:14and unexpected goals in particular, a stat that has often been used.
46:18There's nothing wrong in overperforming, but I think over a long course of time,
46:22it's a big challenge to keep those numbers, to keep the scores.
46:26Because most of their wins, they have been with one goal difference.
46:29And those little margins, I think it's quite hard to maintain.
46:33But again, it's about the emotion, making the people happy there.
46:36And I really, really hope they climb up the table.
46:39Will Nair Emery be able to set them up in any other way,
46:41or play in any other way with this team, do you think?
46:43I don't know why he should, because the style of play is also part of DD Entertainment,
46:48why people love going to Villa Park.
46:50You know, there's this high risk, high reward attitude.
46:53And this is why we go to football matches.
46:54We want to be entertained, and Villa fans have been entertained since Nair Emery's there.
46:58I mean, Villa Park is rocking, isn't it?
47:00Absolutely.
47:01Even more when Che was there.
47:03Thank you very much, guys.
47:06Here's how the Premier League table looks tonight.
47:08Crystal Palace are in the top four after 15 matches for the first time in the Premier League era.
47:13Brighton avoid back-to-back home defeats to move above Sunderland and Liverpool.
47:17West Ham miss out on the chance to climb out of the bottom three following Brighton's late equaliser.
47:22And Fulham have lost seven of their last ten Premier League games now.
47:27OK, it's time.
47:28We're going to reveal the results of November's goal of the month.
47:33In third place with 13% of the vote, Kiernan Dewsbury Hall for that fantastic goal against Newcastle.
47:50In defeat, it should be said, because there's a theme here.
47:52In second place, Richarlison, 18% in that North London derby in defeat for Spurs.
47:58And winning with 81%, no, that can't be right, 21% of the vote is Tyler Adams.
48:06Again, a brilliant goal, but in defeat for Bournemouth against Nottingham Forest.
48:10Forest coming out 3-2 winners.
48:11And that just goes to show individual moments of brilliance can be rewarded even if the team around you fails to reach up to your high standards.
48:19Let's have a look at the goal.
48:21Oh no.
48:25A gifted Bournemouth possession.
48:30Adams goes for goal.
48:31He spotted Ruse off his line!
48:34What a sensational goal that is from the American.
48:38He doesn't score many.
48:40Take a bow, Tyler Adams.
48:44Well done, Tyler Adams.
48:48Thank you so much to Shea and to Thomas.
48:51So, trouble with the King at Anfield.
48:53But all's well at the Palace.
48:54Top four tonight.
48:55They're Glasner all over.
48:57Goodnight.
49:14Come on and clean.
49:15Woo!
49:21Wow!
49:22Woo!
49:23Yeah!
