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

00:00:30Welcome to Match of the Dead.

00:01:00Joe Hart and Theo Walcott are the gifts that keep on giving, or at least they better be this evening.

00:01:05Off the back of an important midweek Champions League win against Real Madrid,

00:01:09Manchester City travelled to fifth place Crystal Palace, having won five of their last six in the Premier League.

00:01:15Steve Wilson was there.

00:01:19Palace may have beaten City at Wembley 211 days ago, but they haven't beaten City here in 10 years.

00:01:26Given their current form, they just might be backing themselves today, especially with some good news from the treatment room.

00:01:33Ismaila Sarr and Jean-Philippe Mateta both start.

00:01:37Sarr having recovered from an ankle injury, Mateta's been past fit after a knee issue.

00:01:42Eddie Enquetia sits out.

00:01:44City's Jeremy Dock, who is missing with a leg injury, Reinders comes in.

00:01:48That's the only change from the win in Madrid and the victory over Sunderland.

00:01:58Adam Wharton.

00:02:01Clipped over the top beautifully.

00:02:03This is a big chance and it's hit the bar.

00:02:06Pino against the woodwork.

00:02:07A huge opportunity.

00:02:11Well, he may just, had it gone in the back of the net, have found himself having it ruled out for offside.

00:02:18It would have been very, very tight.

00:02:21Big opportunity.

00:02:24Well, it's been an exceptional season to this point.

00:02:27They've made so few changes.

00:02:31Crystal Palace and Oliver Glasner.

00:02:33Working with a very, very tight squad, but doing it superbly well.

00:02:40Kamada has done really well.

00:02:42Threads a lovely ball into Ismaila Sarr here.

00:02:45Sarr!

00:02:47Well, flashing across the face of Donnarumma before Jean-Philippe Mateta could arrive.

00:02:54Just unable to combine with Mateta.

00:02:57But promising again for Oliver Glasner's side.

00:03:03Guardiola.

00:03:08Nico Gonzalez.

00:03:13Well, actually he's given it.

00:03:19Well, I think you could argue that Richards was really just holding his ground there, which you are entitled to do.

00:03:25Cherky looks keen here.

00:03:27Oh, it's Foden.

00:03:29Oh, it's pushed around by Henderson.

00:03:31It's still in play.

00:03:32Reinders.

00:03:32And the flag has gone up.

00:03:35Well, trying to catch Henderson out at his near post.

00:03:39Reinders was offside when the ball came back to him.

00:03:41That's why the flag went up.

00:03:43Had this gone in, it would have counted.

00:03:45I don't actually think it was on target from Phil Foden.

00:03:48The England manager tucking into a nice little bag of Sunday afternoon sweets.

00:03:55doesn't like licorice ones by the look of it.

00:03:58Matius Nunez for Manchester City.

00:04:03Everyone in that final third of the field apart from Donnarumma as Nico Gonzalez finds Matthias Nunez and Bernardo Silva.

00:04:15Nunez to the delivery, Haaland with a header, brilliant!

00:04:22Well it's a really good delivery and before it was even on the head of Erling Haaland you knew what was going to happen.

00:04:30Erling Haaland gives Manchester City the lead.

00:04:35Well, it's half in which he hasn't featured a lot but that doesn't matter because when he needs to feature, no one does it better.

00:04:45It's a fantastic header from Erling Haaland, absolutely textbook.

00:04:50Pino here, oh he's found a little gap, Pino, Mateta, Donnarumma came out, made contact.

00:05:00Well VAR, Mat Donahue's had a look and no penalty there.

00:05:05Clipped by Richards tidily and well watched. Ruben Diaz, O'Reilly can find Foden.

00:05:22Nico Gonzalez, not sure that was a good decision, he's lost it and Wharton!

00:05:30And that's twice they've hit the woodwork.

00:05:32Well Nico Gonzalez will be a very relieved man here, that was a poor decision.

00:05:38Was always going to be put under pressure. It's a good strike by Wharton in the end.

00:05:43But hit the woodwork, not the net. More frustration for the home side.

00:05:47Looks like they're on the brink of agreeing about whatever it is they're discussing.

00:05:57Foden, nicely done.

00:06:04And here goes Chizani Reinders. That's a good save by Henderson.

00:06:13Well Reinders here ignored the onrushing Haaland to his left hand side.

00:06:19That's a good save by Henderson.

00:06:36Chirky, that's a really good break. Wharton just caught him but he went on and Phil Foden scores brilliantly.

00:06:45Oh boy, he's hit a rich vein of form. Six in his last four now.

00:06:53Chirky does ever so well.

00:06:56And Foden checks his angles, checks his range finder and sweeps it beyond Henderson.

00:07:06Two absolutely clinical goals from two fantastic footballers.

00:07:13But you've got a feel for him really. Crystal Palace have done so much so well today.

00:07:18And yet they have not tested Donnarumma.

00:07:21Ismail Assar, Pino, Hughes, Wharton.

00:07:31Cross, and a great header from Guardiol, but it's Assar onto O'Reilly.

00:07:38Not sure who Will Hughes shot hit.

00:07:42Ismail Assar blocked by Guardiol.

00:07:47Well this was threatening again.

00:07:49Will Hughes shot.

00:07:51It's a good block this.

00:07:57Richards.

00:08:03And Ketya.

00:08:05Eddie and Ketya, that's a good hit.

00:08:07Well finally someone has stung the palms of Gianluigi Donnarumma.

00:08:12And it's Eddie and Ketya.

00:08:14Will Hughes.

00:08:16Nice.

00:08:17Hughes ball in and Ketya climbing.

00:08:20Beaten in the air by O'Reilly.

00:08:22And a slip from Tyreek Mitchell.

00:08:24And here goes Savino.

00:08:26Henderson backpeddling.

00:08:28Savino.

00:08:29And that's a penalty.

00:08:31Well you don't even need the referee to give that.

00:08:35Henderson is contesting the decision.

00:08:38Well the slip from Palace was really unfortunate.

00:08:45And Savino accelerated away.

00:08:48Dean Henderson is claiming that's not a penalty.

00:08:51But I don't think he has a leg to stand on.

00:08:54And once he got hold of Savino, neither did the Brazilian.

00:08:58Haaland.

00:09:06Missed his only Premier League penalty this season.

00:09:09But scores that one.

00:09:11Crystal Palace 0.

00:09:13Manchester City 3.

00:09:15And Haaland has two of them.

00:09:18Not even a hint of doubt.

00:09:24Well perfection is hard to achieve.

00:09:29But he won't stop aspiring for it.

00:09:32For his team.

00:09:35I just want to ask you about Phil Foden.

00:09:37He's in a terrific vein of form at the moment.

00:09:39I mean scoring goals, assists, everything is there.

00:09:41Yeah it is.

00:09:42Today he didn't do a good game.

00:09:44Today he didn't play good.

00:09:45He lost a lot of balls.

00:09:47He was so in a rush in every action.

00:09:49And Phil has to be with one tempo.

00:09:52Had to play more calm.

00:09:53Keep the ball.

00:09:54Pass the ball.

00:09:55And in the right moment make a change the gear.

00:09:57But at the end we said many times.

00:09:59He's so young.

00:10:00So at the end had Margie to improve.

00:10:02He listened.

00:10:03And I think.

00:10:04Yeah.

00:10:05Saying that.

00:10:06He's been doing an incredible, terrific season.

00:10:09Yeah.

00:10:10It's a good thing that he said that.

00:10:11Because I agree with him myself.

00:10:13I knew I could have done a lot better today.

00:10:15But.

00:10:16Yeah.

00:10:17That's the standard I set myself.

00:10:18And so does he.

00:10:19So.

00:10:20Yeah.

00:10:21He knows there's more to come from me.

00:10:22And hopefully I can get to that.

00:10:23It feels.

00:10:24A little bit wrong.

00:10:25But we have to accept it.

00:10:26This is how big games are decided.

00:10:28There was some small margins.

00:10:30And.

00:10:31I think City was better in the inside the boxes.

00:10:34Yeah.

00:10:35And.

00:10:36We're having 16 to 7 shots at the end.

00:10:38But losing 3-0.

00:10:39Yeah.

00:10:40It's a tough moment.

00:10:41But I think the performance today.

00:10:42To be honest.

00:10:43Better.

00:10:44Than in the cup final.

00:10:45And we will come to that Palace performance.

00:10:47Because there was a lot to like about it.

00:10:49From.

00:10:50From their point of view.

00:10:51Manchester City had to show real resilience.

00:10:53That's what Pep Guardiola talked about after the game.

00:10:55In order to.

00:10:56To get the win.

00:10:57Yeah.

00:10:583-0 on paper.

00:10:59But that certainly doesn't tell the full story.

00:11:00Man City really had to earn it today.

00:11:02Sellers Park is such a tough place to go.

00:11:04And they had to really.

00:11:05They had to get.

00:11:06They went toe-to-toe Palace from the off.

00:11:08You'll see the press here.

00:11:09Pino.

00:11:10Getting their head down.

00:11:11Sending them back.

00:11:12Mateta.

00:11:13Following it up.

00:11:14City didn't really have anywhere to go.

00:11:15And once they do.

00:11:16They turn it over quite easily.

00:11:18And then you've got that battle.

00:11:19You've got Mateta.

00:11:20He's occupying Diaz.

00:11:22Sar's going to come in.

00:11:23With Guardiola.

00:11:24Ball bobbling around.

00:11:25But.

00:11:26That's fine.

00:11:27Premier League.

00:11:28Palace are a good team.

00:11:29You've got to get bodies around.

00:11:30You've got to get people putting their bodies on the line.

00:11:31Making it as difficult as they possibly can.

00:11:33Now Palace had a lot of half chances in the first half here.

00:11:36High line from City.

00:11:37Nunes.

00:11:38Starting to learn how to play that right back position.

00:11:40You can rely on him.

00:11:41I think when we watched the game live.

00:11:43We thought this was a really good chance.

00:11:44But it probably would have been ruled out.

00:11:46Cut for offside.

00:11:47So.

00:11:48Palace's best chance would have been offside.

00:11:50So that's not a problem.

00:11:51But the point is that they kept getting chances through the lines.

00:11:54Looks up.

00:11:55Palace are a quality team.

00:11:56Picks out.

00:11:57Guardiola doesn't panic.

00:11:58O'Reilly gets himself back in.

00:12:00Sartre ends up running out of space.

00:12:02It's almost a shot cross.

00:12:03Doesn't really come to anything.

00:12:05We see it again.

00:12:06Warton getting his head up.

00:12:07Great line from Manchester City.

00:12:09Again.

00:12:10Good confidence in it.

00:12:11They know they can play that line.

00:12:12Like I say.

00:12:13People like Nunes.

00:12:14Who's not necessarily a defender.

00:12:15He's learning how to play in that role.

00:12:17And that's the thing.

00:12:18When you get these chances.

00:12:19But up the other end.

00:12:20That's why they dig in.

00:12:21That's why they do these defensive duties.

00:12:23Because they know they've got quality to hurt.

00:12:25Look at that.

00:12:26Haaland has barely touched the ball.

00:12:27It's not a story anymore.

00:12:29Back peddling.

00:12:30Back across goal.

00:12:31Unbelievable finish.

00:12:32So important for his team.

00:12:34And even Tiki Taki loves a bullet header every now and again.

00:12:37And then Nunes.

00:12:38Like I say.

00:12:39Defensively good.

00:12:40Nicking it.

00:12:41Getting on that front foot.

00:12:42The game wasn't really going anywhere.

00:12:43It was very much in the balance.

00:12:45And we just heard him talking about Phil Foden.

00:12:47Wasn't necessarily as involved as he'd like to be.

00:12:49But my goodness me.

00:12:50The vein of form he's in at the moment.

00:12:52The way he's able to shoot from 22 yards.

00:12:55He's a killer.

00:12:56And late on in the game.

00:12:57Like I say.

00:12:582-0.

00:12:59Palace pushing.

00:13:00That is what you want coming off your bench.

00:13:02Savino.

00:13:03Definitely warmed up.

00:13:04Didn't he?

00:13:0580 yard run.

00:13:06Has the presence of mind to go around Dean Henderson.

00:13:08Earn his team a penalty.

00:13:10The rest we don't have to talk about.

00:13:11Do we?

00:13:12Look.

00:13:13See his celebration.

00:13:14He's bored of scoring now.

00:13:15Scoring is boring.

00:13:16For Erling Haaland.

00:13:17Scoring is boring for Erling Haaland.

00:13:18Look on Phil Foden.

00:13:19His numbers have been fantastic over the last few games Theo.

00:13:23But Pep Guardiola was critical of his overall performance.

00:13:25And said he was rushing a bit.

00:13:27Foden agreed with him.

00:13:28This wasn't a wake up call comment that he was making in the media.

00:13:31This is clearly something that they've talked about.

00:13:34And we saw them at the end of the game together.

00:13:36Yeah.

00:13:37It was constructive criticism I felt.

00:13:38And he recognises the standard that Phil Foden brought to the Premier last year.

00:13:42Winning, obviously, the PFA Player of the Year.

00:13:44That's what he expects.

00:13:45And, you know, we're not savvy to it on a day-to-day basis.

00:13:48But he sees what he does.

00:13:49But on the match day, it's where he really wants to perform.

00:13:51And look.

00:13:52For us, he's playing fantastically well.

00:13:53But for Pep right now, it's not quite the standard that he wants.

00:13:55But look.

00:13:56If you're still scoring, performing well.

00:13:58And scoring goals.

00:13:59Look.

00:14:00There's a lot more to come from Foden if that's the case.

00:14:01Because that's going to be scary for Arsenal as well.

00:14:03Palace don't have a good record against Manchester City.

00:14:06But on the evidence of this game, there's a lot to back up.

00:14:09Oliver Glasner's claim that this was even better than the performance in the FA Cup final,

00:14:14which Crystal Palace won.

00:14:16Because they did manage to get through.

00:14:18And they did manage to create those big chances.

00:14:21Yeah, they were excellent, like I say.

00:14:22And that's credit to Manchester City's performance today.

00:14:26Having to go that extra note, defending really well.

00:14:30Palace look really good.

00:14:31They look really organised this season.

00:14:32They're a real threat, especially in the first half of games.

00:14:35City weathered that storm.

00:14:36And then, as we talked about that quality, Haaland and Foden.

00:14:40Deadly.

00:14:41Yeah, it makes that win all the more impressive from Manchester City.

00:14:44Now, Aston Villa are now firmly in the mix for the title,

00:14:47after winning nine of their last ten Premier League games.

00:14:50They made the journey to London to face a West Ham side who've gone four without a win.

00:14:55Commentary comes from John Rohder.

00:14:57Sir Trevor Brookings and Alvin Martin, accompanied by Billy Bond's daughters, Claire and Katie,

00:15:05lead today's tributes to the legendary former player and manager,

00:15:09who is remembered by the West Ham faithful ahead of kick-off.

00:15:21Alphonse Areola hasn't kept a clean sheet in the Premier League this season.

00:15:24Freddie Potts and Sanguta Magasa come in,

00:15:27as Nuno Espirito Santo makes two changes.

00:15:30Marco Bizot starts in goal for Villa,

00:15:32with Emi Martinez ruled out because of a back problem.

00:15:35Victor Lindelof makes his first Premier League start for Villa,

00:15:38with Pau Torres also not involved.

00:15:40Villa won 2-1 here on the opening day of last season.

00:15:48West Ham with 13 points from their 15 matches so far.

00:15:51get us underway against an in-form Aston Villa team.

00:15:5530 points from their 15 games.

00:15:57Villa in their change colours this afternoon of the white shirts.

00:16:03Picked up by Kamara.

00:16:10Konza.

00:16:12Kamara again.

00:16:13West Ham really pressing in the opening exchanges,

00:16:15and they might be in here,

00:16:17and they've scored!

00:16:19Inside the opening minute,

00:16:21West Ham are in front.

00:16:24What a start for the Hammers!

00:16:27Esri Konza caught in possession,

00:16:30Marco Bizot beaten,

00:16:32and West Ham are in front,

00:16:35through Matias Fernandes.

00:16:37Konza,

00:16:38trying to play it out of defence here.

00:16:40Dispossessed by Fernandes.

00:16:41And what a perfectly placed shot,

00:16:42around Bizot,

00:16:43into the back of the net.

00:16:44And an outstanding start for West Ham.

00:16:45Dreadful for Aston Villa.

00:16:46West Ham 1,

00:16:47Aston Villa 0.

00:16:48Cash.

00:16:49Towards Watkins.

00:16:50Villa are level.

00:16:52Might that go down though,

00:16:53as an own goal.

00:16:55McGinns ball in,

00:16:57Watkins going for the same,

00:16:58and,

00:16:59a good play shot.

00:17:00a good play shot,

00:17:01around Bizot,

00:17:02into the back of the net.

00:17:03And an outstanding start for West Ham.

00:17:04Dreadful for Aston Villa.

00:17:05West Ham 1,

00:17:06Aston Villa 0.

00:17:07Aston Villa.

00:17:08Cash.

00:17:09Towards Watkins!

00:17:10Villa are level.

00:17:12Might that go down though,

00:17:13as an own goal?

00:17:15McGinns ball in.

00:17:17Watkins going for the next.

00:17:18Watkins going for the ball and Mavro Panos is the unfortunate defender who turns it past Areola

00:17:27What a start West Ham one Aston Villa one

00:17:32Fernandez the goal scorer

00:17:39Look at that looking for Dufa terrific run in behind appeals for a penalty as it strikes cash

00:17:46Anthony Taylor was in a good position

00:17:49It's away by Konza not too far and the shot is deflected in

00:17:55Final touch from Bowen

00:17:58West Ham in front for a second time

00:18:02They are are checking to see whether there may be a possible offside here against Duf

00:18:10You see Anthony Taylor's position there he says play on

00:18:13Konza's half clearance Bowen diverting it past Bezot

00:18:21Check has been completed and the goal stands

00:18:25And the West Ham captain gets his fifth goal of the season West Ham two Aston Villa one

00:18:31Here's cash

00:18:36Bit of space here for Morgan Rogers

00:18:39Looking to curl it into the top corner and he wasn't too far away

00:18:42Soon as Rogers picks up the ball here you can see his intentions and Aston Villa still behind

00:18:48Doof

00:18:54McGinn

00:18:58Camera finds Tielemans Watkins and Rogers in the middle it's towards Morgan Rogers

00:19:03It's 2-2

00:19:06Aston Villa equalized for the second time this afternoon at the London Stadium

00:19:12And this time it is Morgan Rogers

00:19:18Space here for Tielemans Watkins can't get on the end of it

00:19:23Rogers most certainly can

00:19:25His fourth goal of the season and all four have come in wins away from Villa Park

00:19:31Is that an omen for today?

00:19:33Mattson comes away with it

00:19:45Watkins with the touch

00:19:49McKinn was the target for that pass couldn't be found

00:19:52Marlon his first involvement

00:19:56Marlon punched away by Areola

00:20:00And West Ham might break here

00:20:06It's a free kick to Aston Villa and you can hear the reaction from the West Ham supporters

00:20:17Areola perhaps the touch fortunate that it fell there too to Debo

00:20:25To Debo

00:20:30Fernandes

00:20:35Back at that

00:20:36Bowen

00:20:37It's a third goal for West Ham but the flag is up on the far side

00:20:44The assistance flag raised very quickly on the far side

00:20:48It is a close one

00:20:50As the ball is played through

00:20:52But the check has been made and it has been ruled out

00:20:56His despair would soon change so it remains 2-2

00:21:04Fernandes

00:21:06Somerville

00:21:08Bowen

00:21:09Couldn't quite turn

00:21:10Somerville

00:21:12Able to get the shot away

00:21:14Unable to find the target for West Ham

00:21:16Well quite kindly there for Crescensio Somerville

00:21:26McGinn

00:21:32Rogers

00:21:33And it's a second goal for Morgan Rogers

00:21:46And it's a second goal for Morgan Rogers

00:21:50Might have a go at goal and it's a brilliant strike as well

00:21:54Aston Villa in front for the first time this afternoon

00:21:58And it's a second goal for Morgan Rogers

00:22:011-0 down

00:22:032-1 down

00:22:04Now 3-2 up

00:22:05Lindelof

00:22:09Lindelof's pass

00:22:11Finding Rogers in a lot of space

00:22:13And how about that for a finish

00:22:15Curling

00:22:16Looping

00:22:17Beyond Areola

00:22:20West Ham 2

00:22:21Aston Villa 3

00:22:222-3

00:22:30Camera

00:22:32Dinia

00:22:35Camera

00:22:38Marlon with the touch

00:22:39Dinia

00:22:41Pushed away by Areola

00:22:42And cleared by Potts

00:22:43Time running out for West Ham if they're to get anything from this afternoon's match

00:22:54Dinia

00:22:59Rogers

00:23:00Faced by Mavropanos

00:23:02It's Morgan Rogers right across the face of goal

00:23:05Aston Villa coming out on top though

00:23:08West Ham 2

00:23:09Aston Villa 3

00:23:11If we're honest we want to start games quicker and be on the front foot but

00:23:15Yeah in the last couple of games I think we started slow and

00:23:18We've had to come back in the game and had to show a fighter determination a character but

00:23:22Each and every player has got that and the manager even more so

00:23:25How much did you need that goal to make it 2-2 to come when it did as early as it did in the second half

00:23:31Yes of course we were losing we we needed firstly

00:23:36Keep calm

00:23:37Keep being consistent and demanding in our game plan

00:23:41And through it try to

00:23:43To score try to

00:23:46Come back the result like we did and then play personality and I think we did everything

00:23:51Offensively we were okay

00:23:54But defensively we have to be more more more more aggressive more

00:23:59Individual aspects that we cannot allow players with such much talent like Rogers to

00:24:05To have this space to do their actions so it requires a big effort from all of us to try and

00:24:11And rectify so we can perform the way we are performing and take results because this is

00:24:16Is really punishing us

00:24:18I'm just pretty confident right now

00:24:19I'm obviously scoring a few lately and when I've got the ball and received it I saw they're kind of

00:24:23Dropping off a bit and I thought yeah, I'm just taking a touch out my feet and just hit it and I know I've got the quality from this

00:24:26Since I work on that kind of shot and I'm just really happy it went and I'm grateful that it went in and that was who won the game

00:24:32Yeah Theo two more goals for Morgan Rogers almost a hat-trick for him that's nine away goals for Aston Villa and all of them

00:24:39Have either been to draw them level or to put them in front he did both

00:24:43Today what did you make of his overall impact on the game?

00:24:46Well, we look at you know big performances in really important players, but his influence right now in this Aston Villa team is

00:24:53Really standing out. You can just see the

00:24:56Confidence in his play and what I really like is his intent from minute one

00:25:01He sets the tone on how he's going to perform this whole game and it's just this initial give and go with Tillemans who connected

00:25:07Constantly throughout the game. It's just to show that Wan-Bissaka you're gonna have a handful today

00:25:11This is where we kind of see him at times in the middle of the park, but he always likes to

00:25:15To operate and move and always keep moving you always keep your defenders guessing

00:25:20And he operated a lot on the left-hand side today

00:25:22Which we we haven't really seen him play too often, but it's these little touches here

00:25:25Which are clever and already Wan-Bissaka is already concerned about him

00:25:28And this is what we're talking about what he's been doing for minute one

00:25:31The different side of it where he can can give it and go and show that other side of him

00:25:35And at times as a defender, it's an absolute handful to deal with in the fantastic cross as well

00:25:40This is what I like at times to be a good player you don't have to do too much movement

00:25:45Messi's lived off that for many many years, but look gets his shot away and we've seen those going on another time

00:25:50But this is his goal tillemans who's been absolutely fantastic today

00:25:54Starts off he's recognized already the weakness

00:25:56In Wan-Bissaka's game he recognizes it all the time he finds his space and this is where you're going to get your goals

00:26:02But not just it's how he finishes it first touch is fantastic composed confident it's a man who's actually right now playing his best

00:26:10This is where we kind of feel morgan rogers drifts into into these spaces where he can recognize there's danger

00:26:16And like you said there when you give of time and space and the players drop off and they can do this the technique

00:26:21We've seen it recently against spurs

00:26:24I mean the way it just picks up the pace the closer it gets to the goalkeeper and look i'm not a goalkeeper at times

00:26:28I think maybe you could save it, but joe you've just got to talk about this this strike

00:26:32The way the goalkeeper sees it late for me absolutely fantastic

00:26:35If he talked about mastering that technique and i saw him score a goal against leads with that technique and areola

00:26:41It ends up being not that far away from him. It's just so unpredictable. It's not a predictable curve or swerve

00:26:46He sets it with like the top of his the top of his ankle with not too much pace

00:26:51And it either dips or rises and that's why you see areola such an athletic goalkeeper get beat with relative ease. I couldn't do that

00:26:57But he is he is something special morgan rogers and it was a really good comeback from from aston villa

00:27:03But this is becoming a bit of a habit for west ham

00:27:06Nuno talked about this and said you know we are really struggling to hold on to a lead they led twice in in this game

00:27:13How much of a concern or how concerned should they be joe of course they should be concerned the premier league's relentless

00:27:18We know we've seen it in so many games this season taking the lead that's not game over

00:27:23You know teams have got so much in their arsenal so much on the bench coming back

00:27:26You've got to stay focused for 90 plus minutes

00:27:29And look they weren't terrible today

00:27:30But they were up against a good villa side who didn't panic when they went behind three good goals and another loss

00:27:36Obviously with a former arsenal and manchester city player sitting in the in the studio

00:27:41We need to talk about the title race of villa very much in this

00:27:44I think so i i do i feel like when you have a

00:27:47Very difficult start you can go two ways as a team as a squad but emery's obviously got that confidence in them

00:27:53They're playing with some good stuff at this moment in time so for me there would be a problem

00:27:57But uh yeah i'm concerned about your lot

00:28:00Three points between the top three with with aston villa starting to open up a little bit of a gap now between themselves and chelsea and fourth joe

00:28:07Yeah, they are um as expected

00:28:09I think arsenal manchester city up there, but villa I think the biggest compliment you can pay them is with a difficult start

00:28:15They've beaten both arsenal and manchester city

00:28:17They're definitely capable whether they can mount a charge which is is yet to be seen

00:28:21But arsenal and city are definitely going to be there at the end

00:28:23They've got arsenal again on the 30th of december that's something to look forward to

00:28:28Next we've got the first premier league weird time derby since 2016

00:28:32One of the fiercest and finest rivalries in english football is a matter of duty

00:28:42I'm on the front page on the back page every page of every paper

00:28:45Brilliant goal i'm a hero i'm your savior

00:28:50Here it hits it

00:28:51Phillips something at the score i don't blame you

00:28:54If you're looking at me i would be looking at me too

00:28:57Red and white tonight

00:28:59Guy mowbray was at the stadium of light

00:29:11It's been more than nine long years since the prides of the we're in the time

00:29:16last came together for a premier league derby the return of a special fixture

00:29:22The Sunderland team shows three changes from last weekend's 3-0 defeat at manchester city

00:29:28Ranildo, Shemstein, Talby and Brian Brobby come in to start and for Ranildo, Talby, Noah Siddiqui and Bertrand Traore

00:29:36It's one heck of a game to sign off in before departing for international duty at the africa cup of nations

00:29:42For newcastle two changes from wednesday's champions league draw at leverkusen

00:29:46Anthony Alanga replaces harvey barnes and with joe linton not 100 percent and on the bench

00:29:52Louis Miley comes in joining Dan Byrne as the only two true locals to start the game

00:29:58Before kickoff Sunderland salutes their former player Gary Rowell who sadly passed away yesterday aged just 68

00:30:09A Sunderland lad a hero to a generation the scorer of their last derby hat-trick in 1979

00:30:16He always had incredible timing

00:30:28In 137 years of meeting there have been 157 previous matches with newcastle ahead by just one win

00:30:37And now they come together with Sunderland ahead by just one point

00:30:43Ilanga up to Volta Marda and Gordon's got loads of room on the left

00:30:49Volta Marda can't find him Gordon's furious about that

00:30:54Look at Gordon the pass is on but he doesn't get it right

00:31:00Two who know what it's like to score in one of these games

00:31:03Jermaine Defoe and Kevin Phillips goodness me there's some goals between those two

00:31:09I don't think Steve Bauer scored that many

00:31:12But he keeps good company

00:31:15Michele, Traore

00:31:20Here's Brobby

00:31:23Upended by Malik Chao

00:31:26And the referee's got the yellow card out has he yes he has for the first time today

00:31:31It's Brobby for demanding that there should be a yellow card

00:31:37Oh the irony in a game like this when we expect tackles to fly in and the first yellow is for doing that

00:31:45As Alan Shearer reminded me only this morning it is really important whether you're red and white or black and white

00:31:52To play the game not the occasion some can get a little too over keen

00:32:03Gordon

00:32:05Michele's won it Dan Byrne will get the next one and Michele didn't even attempt to stop himself sliding into him

00:32:13He's claiming it was pure momentum, but he's got a yellow card and I don't think there's much argument about it

00:32:20It is the definition of reckless. He's not getting there first

00:32:23And now Sunderland try and break but Brobby didn't get even as far as the halfway line

00:32:34Tonali

00:32:34Miley

00:32:35Oh has Brobby caught Miley there

00:32:43Le Fay

00:32:53Hall is there to stop the cross

00:32:56And Brobby involved plenty this half

00:32:58Got a yellow card for waving an imaginary card of his own and then that happened not so long ago

00:33:05A risky thing to do when you're on a yellow

00:33:07No

00:33:10Xhaka

00:33:17Xhaka's cross, Ballard flung himself at it, couldn't get over the top of it

00:33:29Friore takes possession for Sunderland

00:33:32Friore delivers, the cross is repelled

00:33:39Sunderland get a throw

00:33:42Michele

00:33:44winding up the big one again

00:33:48Ramsdale stays back

00:33:51Chao got it away, here's Xhaka

00:33:52Okay, that's a good ball, Volta Marders headed it into his own net

00:34:00Sunderland lead one minute into the second half

00:34:06By far and away Nick Volta Marders worst moment in a Newcastle shirt yet

00:34:12you don't do that

00:34:13Not today, not in this game

00:34:17Wrong goal

00:34:18Wearside delirium has ensued

00:34:22It's a wonderful cross from Mukiele

00:34:26Volta Marder though has bulleted that home as though he was trying to score for Newcastle

00:34:32Couldn't have done any better with it

00:34:35Sunderland one, Newcastle United nil

00:34:38The place has taken off, Volta Marder wishes he hadn't

00:34:41Normally at the stadium of light

00:34:45That scoreboard would say Sunderland one

00:34:48Then the name of the opposing team and their badge nil

00:34:51Today just visitors

00:34:54The name is not being uttered

00:34:57Tremendous levels of Derby day Pettinus

00:35:07Up towards Isidore, really good ball

00:35:09Isidore really good try and smartly saved by Ramsdale

00:35:16Oh he's done well with that Wilson Isidore

00:35:19The control and the attempt to finish just magnificent

00:35:24Deliverimento

00:35:29Murphy

00:35:29It's deflected and Wiss has got to it but not with enough contact

00:35:35Rufus with a really grateful claim

00:35:38That's as good as it's been for Newcastle for quite a while

00:35:44Towering leap from Ranildo

00:35:45Jaka

00:35:48He got something on it, Rufus has then gone down and a free kick's been given to Sunderland

00:35:52Ranildo wants a word or two with Joe Willock as well

00:35:57And the referee's in to try and defuse it, it's the first flare-up of Derby day

00:36:01And it's going off further up the field as well

00:36:07Lewis Hall and Wilson Isidore have squared up to one another

00:36:10Le Fay not far away

00:36:13Where did that spark from?

00:36:17Told you it was anxious all round

00:36:18That will do it

00:36:24Sunderland have had a remarkable return to the Premier League

00:36:29But never mind what's gone before

00:36:31This was the one they wanted more than any other

00:36:37Sunday night usually means early closing

00:36:39Not here, not tonight

00:36:42It'll go on into Monday

00:36:43It might go on into 2026

00:36:45Sunderland won, Newcastle United nil

00:36:51Tell us about the experience of the Derby from your point of view

00:36:54Noisy

00:36:56Noisy and yeah, good connection with our fans

00:36:59I think we had the opportunity to score

00:37:01and after that we stayed composed, calm

00:37:04even if the game was tense and tough, tight

00:37:08but yeah, good maturity and happy for the lads

00:37:12Huge disappointment for us in terms of result and performance really

00:37:15I don't think we ever truly got going from an attacking sense

00:37:18It was a game of real lack of chances for both teams

00:37:21There wasn't a lot of classical goal mouth action

00:37:23but we're disappointed with our output and we know we need to do better

00:37:26You got that photo to keep at the end of the whole team in front of the fans

00:37:30You weren't here two years ago when Newcastle did that after winning here

00:37:32So was that something that the players thought about? Whose idea was that?

00:37:35Yeah, I believe that in life everything comes back and we had some players

00:37:41they played this two or three years ago and the painful was still there from them

00:37:44So I think it has a little bit to do with respect

00:37:47Of course the away team they've been here

00:37:50You need to give the handshake but to do a picture in front of our fans in the stadium

00:37:54It's not what we will do if we go away, but yeah, this is a little bit of karma

00:37:59And we can do it because we are playing at home with our fans with our support

00:38:03They've been amazing all year, but even today and we take this picture and we're happy

00:38:10So just for comparison, this is what Newcastle United did in January 2024

00:38:15When they beat Sunderland at the stadium of light in the cup

00:38:19So Sunderland returned the favour that and visitors on the scoreboard are we here for that level of pettiness?

00:38:26It'll be interesting to see if they get a result in Newcastle if they recreate a picture, wouldn't it?

00:38:29But look, it's a connection

00:38:31It's going to be a bit hard when they're all the way up in the stands

00:38:35But look, it's great. It's what it means to them

00:38:37So it's great connection to be part of the club

00:38:39So yeah, fair play to them

00:38:40Yeah, you've got to have a bit of fun with it, haven't you Joe?

00:38:42Yeah, of course and Newcastle deserved their win just like Sunderland deserved their win

00:38:46However, you want to celebrate is up to you, but you know, obviously it touched a nerve with a few of them

00:38:50Yeah, and the way Sunderland approached the game

00:38:52This was not a match that had a lot of goal-mouth action

00:38:55No

00:38:55However, the application can't be faulted

00:38:58Oh my goodness me

00:38:59When you look at that starting lineup, you're obviously not seeing any locals born in the city of Sunderland

00:39:04But geez, they represented like they were born in Sunderland today

00:39:06It was an incredible effort

00:39:08The tenacity, it was an absolutely brilliant game if you look for an old-school English derby

00:39:13From the off, Broby setting the tone, but they didn't just press recklessly

00:39:17They pressed really intelligently

00:39:18They kept setting little traps for Newcastle

00:39:21Shutting them down

00:39:22And then here we see Volta Marder

00:39:24That is Newcastle's main man, absolutely no doubt about it

00:39:27And if you want a stadium to erupt

00:39:29Bang, Ballard in

00:39:30Turns the big man over and they're on the front foot again

00:39:33But as I say, it wasn't reckless

00:39:35They were pressing on the front foot

00:39:37Sending Newcastle down little angles and little avenues that they didn't want to be

00:39:41Which allowed Sunderland to get on the front foot

00:39:43They were able to push them back

00:39:45And they looked a little bit like they'd run out of ideas eventually

00:39:48Pushing them on

00:39:49Dan Byrne put under a lot of pressure here

00:39:51Down a blind alley

00:39:52And this is what the stadium loves

00:39:54If you're not creating goal-mouth chances

00:39:56You want to see your team on the front foot

00:39:58Pushing your opposition back

00:39:59And ultimately it's an easy turnover when Ramsdale has to go long

00:40:06This is Ballard

00:40:07Threat in both boxes

00:40:08This was one of the only real chances

00:40:10Look, it wasn't too many chances in this game

00:40:13But this is straight away in the second half

00:40:15Look, you get a lot of chances from throw-ins

00:40:17Of course you do

00:40:18But Sunderland have identified that it would be a weak header

00:40:20If it is a header away from goal

00:40:22Xhaka, such an intelligent player

00:40:24Mukieheli

00:40:25Really good ball in

00:40:26Volta Marder will not want to see that again

00:40:28He's had such a great start in Newcastle's shirt

00:40:30And you feel for him

00:40:31But that's not a good moment for the big man

00:40:33But a little bit of in-house game

00:40:35You know, you see Gordon's finally got his chance to

00:40:38To open his legs

00:40:40Nailed

00:40:41And this is Xhaka

00:40:42We talk about him such an experienced pro

00:40:44This is the 93rd minute

00:40:46He takes one here

00:40:47He takes one for the team

00:40:48He realises he's not going to get a foul for it

00:40:50You've got to get up

00:40:51Got to get up

00:40:5293rd minute

00:40:53All hands to the pump

00:40:54Little bit of Xhaka

00:40:55Yeah, we've all seen that before

00:40:57And as Roos gets nailed

00:40:59It all bedlam breaks loose

00:41:00But I'm telling you now

00:41:01Walking off the field

00:41:02Is the centre mid with blood dripping from your eye

00:41:04And a 1-0 win

00:41:05That is a great feeling

00:41:06Yeah, if he wasn't a hero before then

00:41:08He's going to be a hero after that

00:41:09Look, in terms of the intensity from Sunderland

00:41:12There will be people

00:41:13Anthony Gordon amongst them

00:41:14As we saw Dan Byrne

00:41:16Who had to go to hospital

00:41:17And have his ribs x-rayed

00:41:18He had problems with breathing after that

00:41:20Breathing after that challenge from

00:41:21From Mukiele in the game

00:41:23At times, did it threaten to boil over, do you think?

00:41:26A little bit

00:41:27But I think they were good on his tackles

00:41:28Obviously the Dan Byrne one isn't great on the eye

00:41:31But I think he'll appreciate that

00:41:33The big man

00:41:33He's a big fair player

00:41:34We don't want to see anyone get hurt

00:41:36But the intensity was incredible today

00:41:38The other thing that Sunderland fans

00:41:39Will be delighted about

00:41:40Is that now they've overtaken Newcastle

00:41:43In terms of wins in this fixture

00:41:45It was level coming into this one

00:41:4729 games

00:41:48And now Sunderland have 10 wins in the Premier League

00:41:52And that's just one of those things

00:41:53In a derby situation that feels good, Theo

00:41:57And as well, it's a great feeling at the whole club

00:41:59At this moment in time

00:42:00You know, they're here to stay, aren't they?

00:42:03Sunderland, I feel

00:42:04And you can kind of feel the whole connection to the club

00:42:06But look, they are in a good moment

00:42:08And they continue to be like that

00:42:09Yeah, they've got themselves in a really good position

00:42:11Now, with three wins in five Premier League games

00:42:14Sean Dyche has steadied the ship

00:42:16Since taking over at Nottingham Forest

00:42:18Today, they hosted a Spurs side

00:42:20Who've won more matches away than at home

00:42:22Your commentator is Martin Fisher

00:42:24Forrest make three changes to the side

00:42:28Beaton and Everton

00:42:29Including a Premier League debut

00:42:31For Brazilian keeper John Victor

00:42:33Matt Sells ruled out with a groin injury

00:42:36Murillo is back in defence

00:42:37Callum Hudson-Odoi preferred to Danone-Odoi on the wing

00:42:41Spurs named the same eleven that beat Brentford last Saturday

00:42:45Only Benton-Kur and Kolo Mawani didn't start their Champions League win over Slavia Prague on Tuesday

00:42:52Dutchman Xavi Simmonds scored in both of those victories

00:42:56Forrest have struggled to pick up Premier League points after their European travels this season

00:43:04Losing four of their five games after being in action on a Thursday night

00:43:09Just the one defeat for Tottenham

00:43:12After their Champions League exploits

00:43:14Hutchinson

00:43:16Who's been a bright spark off the bench in recent weeks

00:43:20Feeding Savona to cross

00:43:22Sangare's header against the post

00:43:24And as far as Igor Jesus

00:43:26In goes Williams

00:43:27Chance is still there

00:43:28Great save by Vicario

00:43:29And then the flag up against Savona

00:43:32Far side

00:43:33Well

00:43:35After such a

00:43:37Lethargic start by both teams

00:43:39It bursts into action

00:43:41Good overlap here by Savona

00:43:44Who was onside

00:43:45And when it came into the middle

00:43:48It's a bullet header

00:43:49From Sangare

00:43:50And then Williams was on target with his effort

00:43:53Vicario stopped it

00:43:54And then up goes the flag

00:43:57Thomas Frank unbeaten in his last four visits to the city ground

00:44:02Winning two of them

00:44:03Including a 2-0 success back in May

00:44:06Milenkovich is up there

00:44:08Here he is

00:44:09Should have done better

00:44:11Well he'd been up for a minute or so

00:44:15Waiting for a delivery like that from Nico Williams

00:44:19Gray

00:44:26Pocket pinch by Sangare

00:44:28And it's in by Hudson-Odoi

00:44:30What a gift

00:44:33For Nottingham Forest

00:44:34Archie Gray

00:44:36Accepts his responsibility

00:44:38And the Forest fans

00:44:41And the Forest players

00:44:42Cannot believe their good fortune

00:44:45Always a possibility

00:44:48When you try to play the ball

00:44:51Out from the back

00:44:52Tottenham have been doing this

00:44:55All afternoon

00:44:56This time it's Gray

00:44:57Rather than Benton Coor

00:44:58Who comes to collect

00:44:59To knock it left to Van der Ven

00:45:01Turn the other way

00:45:02Sangare read it perfectly

00:45:04And then unselfishly

00:45:06As he was quickly closed down by Vicario

00:45:09Put it on a plate

00:45:11For Callum Hudson-Odoi

00:45:13Spurs seem to have woken up at last

00:45:18Kolo Moani

00:45:20Spence

00:45:21Poor cross

00:45:25Gray to hit

00:45:26Hit

00:45:26Good save by John

00:45:28Down to his right

00:45:29Well that would have been

00:45:31Sweet sweet redemption

00:45:32For young Archie Gray

00:45:34Spence with the approach

00:45:36And on the swivel

00:45:37That's a good hit

00:45:39And John does well

00:45:40To keep it out

00:45:41Oh it's danger

00:45:43From Pedro Porro

00:45:44Straight to Hutchinson

00:45:46Spence recovered well

00:45:48And Gray takes over

00:45:49Finding Kudus

00:45:53Steps inside Williams

00:45:55Hudson-Odoi got back at him

00:45:57There is a criticism of Kudus

00:45:59It is that sometimes

00:46:01He just holds on to the ball

00:46:02A fraction too long

00:46:03At the other end

00:46:03It's Hutchinson

00:46:04Igor Jesus

00:46:06Gibbs White is up there

00:46:08Waiting

00:46:09And very nearly stretched

00:46:11To make it to

00:46:12Excellent work

00:46:15From Igor Jesus

00:46:16And Gibbs White

00:46:18Just held his run here

00:46:19Knew that he was in danger

00:46:21Of straying into an offside position

00:46:22Held it

00:46:23Held it

00:46:23And then attacked

00:46:24And couldn't quite get there

00:46:25Sangare

00:46:31Getting the neck muscles

00:46:32Working to

00:46:33Ensure that header reached

00:46:34Hudson-Odoi

00:46:35Twisting Benton Kerr

00:46:39This way and that

00:46:40Great ball

00:46:41Oh it's better than that

00:46:42It's a magnificent goal

00:46:44Callum Hudson-Odoi

00:46:46His second of the game

00:46:48And Vicario is beaten

00:46:50For a second time today

00:46:54And Hudson-Odoi

00:46:56Who was gifted the first

00:46:58Brings brilliance

00:47:01To this occasion

00:47:02To get his second

00:47:04Did he intend it?

00:47:07Well

00:47:08We'll find out later

00:47:09I'm sure

00:47:09And Spurs

00:47:11Who have been so ordinary

00:47:13Since we started

00:47:14Now

00:47:15Have an even bigger

00:47:17Mountain to climb

00:47:17Anderson

00:47:22Look at the space

00:47:24For Hudson-Odoi

00:47:25On for Igor Jesus

00:47:27Oh he's gone for goal

00:47:30And it whistles just wide

00:47:34In Vicario's far post

00:47:35Only got his first

00:47:36Premier League goal

00:47:37In the recent away win at Walls

00:47:39But in all competitions

00:47:40The Brazilian is on seven now

00:47:44Sean Dyche continues to pick up

00:47:49Welcome Premier League points

00:47:51Murillo

00:47:57Lovely ball

00:47:58Anderson

00:47:58Hudson-Odoi wants it to his left

00:48:01What a dissimilar situation

00:48:03In the position to where he scored

00:48:05His second

00:48:05It's Sangari who

00:48:06Bless

00:48:06Oh

00:48:07What a hit

00:48:08From Sangari

00:48:09And that is his

00:48:13Farewell gift to his teammates

00:48:15And the supporters of Forrest

00:48:18As he heads to the AFCON

00:48:20With Senegal

00:48:21That's the final nail

00:48:23For Tottenham

00:48:24That's for sure

00:48:24What a strike

00:48:29And Sangari

00:48:31Who hadn't scored

00:48:33At all for Forrest

00:48:34In two and a bit seasons

00:48:36Since

00:48:36The victory here

00:48:38Over Leeds last month

00:48:39Has now scored two

00:48:41In five weeks

00:48:433-0

00:48:48Would be Forrest's

00:48:50Best win over Tottenham

00:48:52Since 1987

00:48:53In goes Douglas-Louise

00:48:57His first involvement

00:48:58Is a good one

00:48:59Gibbs-White

00:49:00Feeding Hudson-Odoi

00:49:02Anderson just

00:49:04Taking up a good position

00:49:05On the edge

00:49:05Pattered into

00:49:08As he released that

00:49:09Free kick

00:49:11And a very inviting position

00:49:13Here for Nottingham-Forrest

00:49:14They look like a team

00:49:17Who just want to get off

00:49:17The pitch right now

00:49:18And

00:49:19Get the plane home

00:49:20Gib-White

00:49:24Attacks it

00:49:25Vicario away

00:49:27Hutchinson with the

00:49:28Reef bound

00:49:28Well

00:49:32The pressure

00:49:33Had eased

00:49:34Slightly on

00:49:35Thomas Frank

00:49:35But this defeat

00:49:37And this performance

00:49:38In particular

00:49:39Will just

00:49:39Bring that

00:49:41All to the fore

00:49:41Again

00:49:43Another disappointing day

00:49:45For them

00:49:46In the Premier League

00:49:46Nottingham-Forrest 3

00:49:49Tottenham-Hotspur 0

00:49:50There's bound to be

00:49:53Pressure on you

00:49:54Again now

00:49:55How do you

00:49:56Respond to that?

00:49:57I think there's pressure

00:49:58On all of us

00:49:59Every game

00:50:00We need to perform

00:50:01There's no doubt

00:50:02About that

00:50:03I'm pretty sure

00:50:04It's not a one-man band

00:50:05It would be very bad

00:50:07If it is

00:50:07It was only on me

00:50:08Only on the players

00:50:09Only on the staff

00:50:10It's all of us together

00:50:11And we will bounce back

00:50:13I'm not in doubt of that

00:50:13I thought the football today

00:50:15Was a really good mix

00:50:16Of our shape

00:50:17And our basics

00:50:17And the pressing lines

00:50:18And all them good things

00:50:19That you do off the ball

00:50:20But also with the ball

00:50:21We know we've got talent

00:50:22But the glue that holds

00:50:23The performance together

00:50:24Is the work ethic

00:50:25And the shape of the team

00:50:26In my opinion

00:50:26So I like them to work

00:50:27And I thought that was

00:50:28On show absolutely

00:50:29And I was really pleased for them

00:50:30The second goal

00:50:31I'm not sure whether

00:50:32I should describe it

00:50:33As a worldie

00:50:33Or a flute

00:50:34Where would you put it?

00:50:36I'd say it's a shot cross

00:50:37I think it's a mixture of both

00:50:39I think if the keeper

00:50:40Doesn't come out

00:50:40He gets it

00:50:41If he comes out

00:50:42That's what happens

00:50:42So yeah

00:50:43I'm buzzing with that

00:50:44Going in

00:50:45And I said

00:50:45It's a top performance

00:50:46And that from them

00:50:47It's credit to the team

00:50:47For the way they played

00:50:48And it helped me get the goals

00:50:49When you've got two

00:50:50And there's best part

00:50:51Of 25 minutes to go

00:50:53Are you telling your mates

00:50:54To give you the ball

00:50:55At every opportunity?

00:50:56I was telling every one of them

00:50:56To pass it

00:50:57I was like listen

00:50:57Play it this side

00:50:58Play it this side

00:50:59But now

00:50:59Sometimes you just get a two

00:51:01And I'm happy with that today

00:51:02So yeah

00:51:02I'm delighted with the performance

00:51:03And as I said

00:51:04Happy with my goals

00:51:05Happy to help the team

00:51:06As much as possible

00:51:06But credit to them as well

00:51:08Happy with both of the goals

00:51:10Happy with the results

00:51:11Sean Dyche

00:51:11Happy with the balance

00:51:13Of everything that he was

00:51:14Looking for

00:51:14From the hard work

00:51:15To the balance of play

00:51:17To their defensive duties

00:51:18But I want to ask you

00:51:19In particular

00:51:20About their attacking prowess

00:51:21And the skill they have

00:51:23In going forward

00:51:24And who's allowed that to happen

00:51:26Is an axer setter

00:51:27Sean Dyche

00:51:27He's a man

00:51:28Management

00:51:29The way he manages players

00:51:31Sorry

00:51:31He plays the players' strengths

00:51:33And these

00:51:34Five, four

00:51:36Should we just say

00:51:36Look

00:51:36All stood out today

00:51:37Massively

00:51:38You can see here

00:51:40Highlighted

00:51:40Hudson

00:51:41Oddoi

00:51:41Fajus

00:51:42Hutchison

00:51:43And Gibbs

00:51:43White

00:51:43Keeping the width

00:51:44And this is the first

00:51:46First chance

00:51:48Early on

00:51:49With Sangari

00:51:49Making a late run

00:51:51Which is going to be

00:51:52Missed in the AFCON

00:51:52But look

00:51:53That's what they're going to miss

00:51:54Is energy

00:51:55From midfield

00:51:55And this is where

00:51:57The goal comes from

00:51:57It's not a great press

00:52:00However

00:52:00He recognises

00:52:01The players

00:52:02It's quite

00:52:02Not lazy

00:52:03But look

00:52:04It's not great

00:52:06For Marjorie Gray

00:52:06But Sangari

00:52:07He smells danger

00:52:08Sets up on a plate

00:52:10For Hudson

00:52:11Oddoi

00:52:11Protects it away

00:52:12Quite nicely

00:52:12But this is the other side

00:52:14As well

00:52:14Hudson Oddoi

00:52:15For me

00:52:15Stands out

00:52:16The work rate

00:52:17That Sean Dyche

00:52:17Is talking about

00:52:18Which now access

00:52:19This freedom

00:52:20And this directness

00:52:21And

00:52:21For these players

00:52:23To finally actually

00:52:24Be able to play

00:52:25With that freedom

00:52:25I spoke about

00:52:26Early on

00:52:26A bit of a half chance

00:52:29I'd say

00:52:30Maybe if he was on

00:52:31His toes

00:52:31He might have got

00:52:32A tap in there

00:52:32But look

00:52:33It's the right habits

00:52:34They're getting numbers forward

00:52:35Picking up spaces

00:52:36They all complement

00:52:37Each other really well

00:52:38Always keeping on the move

00:52:39Look at the amount of numbers

00:52:41We're talking about

00:52:41Sean Dyche teams

00:52:42Maybe being defensive

00:52:43Look they've got

00:52:43Five, six bodies

00:52:44In there

00:52:44Half chance

00:52:46Maybe could have been

00:52:46A second one there

00:52:47Sangari

00:52:50Like I said before

00:52:51He's going to be missed

00:52:52With these runs

00:52:52But just to distract

00:52:53Archie Gray

00:52:54To access that space

00:52:55And Hudson Oddoi

00:52:56When you give him

00:52:56A one-on-one situation

00:52:57He says about

00:52:58Shot crossed

00:52:59Who cares

00:53:00Who cares

00:53:00Quite frankly

00:53:01It's fantastic

00:53:02And this is what

00:53:03I'm talking about

00:53:03The complement

00:53:04Each other

00:53:04The freedom

00:53:05And the excitement

00:53:07And the confidence

00:53:07They're now playing

00:53:08With

00:53:08At times

00:53:11They're making Tottenham

00:53:11Run after shadows

00:53:13They really are

00:53:14And just

00:53:15And just

00:53:15The way you see

00:53:17The players

00:53:18Just occupy the centre

00:53:19And allow that space

00:53:20To Sangari

00:53:20And just watch this

00:53:21Outside the book

00:53:22Fantastic finish

00:53:25And Sean Dyche

00:53:26Will be really happy

00:53:26The way he's

00:53:27Started his career

00:53:28At Nottingham Forest

00:53:29Right now

00:53:29They've been brilliant

00:53:29And like you said

00:53:30Really noticeable

00:53:31The number of bodies

00:53:32That were able to get forward

00:53:33And were allowed to get forward

00:53:34For Nottingham Forest

00:53:36But it's another defeat

00:53:37For Tottenham

00:53:38They seem to have

00:53:39Sorted out their home form

00:53:41And now their away form

00:53:42Is suffering

00:53:43But they seem like

00:53:43They're only ever one game away

00:53:45From an enormous amount of pressure

00:53:46Being put on Thomas Frank

00:53:48And he seems to accept

00:53:50That that's the situation

00:53:51As Spurs manager

00:53:52Do you think his position

00:53:54Is precarious

00:53:55Every time

00:53:56They put in a bad performance

00:53:57Every time

00:53:57They drop points

00:53:59I think it's just

00:54:00The manner of defeat

00:54:01That they've struggled

00:54:02When they have lost

00:54:03They've been really poor

00:54:04You know

00:54:04You look at the Arsenal game

00:54:06You look at the Chelsea game

00:54:07Here today

00:54:08They've got quality in them

00:54:09They've got good performances

00:54:11You know

00:54:11They're doing well in Europe

00:54:12They've got good numbers in Europe

00:54:13And when they play well

00:54:14For example

00:54:15They beat Brentford

00:54:15With a fantastic performance

00:54:17But when they lose

00:54:19They lose badly

00:54:19And we all know

00:54:21That when you're at the top

00:54:22A team like Tottenham

00:54:23There's going to be pressure

00:54:24They are one point worse off

00:54:26At this stage of the season

00:54:27Than they were

00:54:27Last season

00:54:28They've got 22 points

00:54:29They had 23

00:54:30At this stage last season

00:54:32Now only the Premier League's

00:54:33Top three

00:54:34Have won more points

00:54:35At home

00:54:36Than Brentford this season

00:54:37Today's visitors

00:54:38Were Leeds

00:54:39Who've only won once

00:54:40On the road

00:54:41Your commentator

00:54:42Is Mark Scott

00:54:43The loss at Spurs

00:54:46Made it back to back

00:54:47Brentford defeats

00:54:48For the first time

00:54:49Since Keith Andrews

00:54:50Took over

00:54:51But both of those

00:54:52Setbacks were

00:54:53On the road

00:54:54They have been

00:54:55A very different beast

00:54:56Here this season

00:54:58The Bees

00:54:58Are four different

00:54:59From the team

00:55:00That started

00:55:01The tame loss

00:55:01At Tottenham

00:55:02Hickey

00:55:03Janssen

00:55:03Janelt and Lewis

00:55:04Potter are in

00:55:05For Ayer

00:55:06Yarmuluk

00:55:06Damsgaard and the

00:55:07Suspended

00:55:08Sharder

00:55:08Now Tanaka's reward

00:55:10For his injury time

00:55:11Equaliser from the

00:55:12Bench against Liverpool

00:55:14Is a place in the

00:55:15Leeds starting line-up

00:55:16Today as Ilya Gruev

00:55:18Makes way

00:55:19While only three teams

00:55:21Have a better home record

00:55:22Than Brentford

00:55:23Only Wolves have a

00:55:24Worse away one

00:55:26Than Leeds in the

00:55:27Premier League this season

00:55:28Okafor

00:55:30Trying to prod it through

00:55:32For Calvert-Lewin

00:55:32It might come for Okafor

00:55:33Anyway

00:55:34Angles against him

00:55:35Kelleher has to make

00:55:36The save

00:55:37Slack stuff from

00:55:39Brentford

00:55:39Which very nearly

00:55:41Resulted in the

00:55:42Opening goal of the

00:55:43Game

00:55:43And it was an

00:55:45Inadvertent touch

00:55:46Backwards from

00:55:47Vitali Janelt

00:55:47That gave Okafor

00:55:48The chance to

00:55:49Surge through on goal

00:55:50But it was too

00:55:51Tight an angle

00:55:52For him to

00:55:53Truly test

00:55:54Kelleher

00:55:54Coyote

00:55:57Got away from

00:56:00Stack nicely

00:56:01Coyote

00:56:02Janssen

00:56:05Still Janssen

00:56:09And it's

00:56:11A penalty kick

00:56:12I was about to say

00:56:15He

00:56:15Appeared to take a

00:56:17Tumble a bit too

00:56:18Easily

00:56:18But John Brooks

00:56:21Has given the

00:56:21Penalty

00:56:22They will have to

00:56:26Check whether

00:56:27He was onside

00:56:29In the first place

00:56:30Anyway

00:56:30Dongo Butara

00:56:31And then they'll

00:56:32Get to

00:56:33Checking

00:56:35Checking how much

00:56:35Contact there was

00:56:37Between

00:56:37Gumansson and

00:56:38And I have to say

00:56:39That looks soft

00:56:40Well

00:56:43It's not going to be

00:56:45A penalty kick

00:56:46Not because they've

00:56:48Deemed that

00:56:49John Brooks made

00:56:49The wrong call

00:56:50But because

00:56:51Dongo Butara

00:56:52Is in an

00:56:53Offside position

00:56:54Strouk

00:56:58Strouk

00:56:58Oh he's given that

00:56:59Away

00:57:00Hickey

00:57:01Henderson

00:57:02Lovely poke

00:57:03Through here

00:57:03For Lewis

00:57:04Potter

00:57:04Beaten away

00:57:06By Perry

00:57:06Pascal Strouk

00:57:10Is the

00:57:11Most relieved

00:57:12Man inside

00:57:13The ground

00:57:14Awful

00:57:16Awful pass

00:57:16Jordan Henderson

00:57:19With a

00:57:19Beautiful ball

00:57:20That gave

00:57:21Lewis Potter

00:57:21The chance

00:57:22He hit it

00:57:23A bit too

00:57:24Close to

00:57:24Lucas Perry

00:57:25Really

00:57:25Ampadu

00:57:33Calvert-Lewin

00:57:34Tanaka

00:57:37Oh

00:57:38Okafor

00:57:39Over the bar

00:57:40Al Tanaka

00:57:43Really stretched

00:57:44Well to get

00:57:45His head to it

00:57:46He was aiming

00:57:47For

00:57:47Noah Okafor

00:57:48But

00:57:49What an awful

00:57:50Attempt that was

00:57:51From the Swiss

00:57:52He forwards

00:57:55By Ampadu

00:57:56Coyote

00:57:57Underneath it

00:57:58Stacks in there

00:58:00And now it's

00:58:01Calvert-Lewin

00:58:02He's gone over

00:58:04And the hit

00:58:05Comes in

00:58:05And

00:58:06It was

00:58:07Somewhat

00:58:08Hopeful

00:58:08From the

00:58:09Away fans

00:58:11Bit of a drag

00:58:12From Collins

00:58:13But they've

00:58:15Checked

00:58:16And cleared it

00:58:17Well they've got

00:58:19A good spot

00:58:20But they

00:58:20Have

00:58:21Not had

00:58:22Much

00:58:22To actually

00:58:23Spot

00:58:24Brentford have

00:58:26Never gone

00:58:26Three

00:58:27Premier League

00:58:28Games

00:58:28In a row

00:58:29Without scoring

00:58:30But that

00:58:31Could change

00:58:32Today

00:58:32Slotted through

00:58:34Here for

00:58:34Rico Henry

00:58:35Henry's

00:58:36Ball

00:58:37Henderson

00:58:38Jordan Henderson

00:58:43With his

00:58:45First

00:58:45Brentford

00:58:46Goal

00:58:47And what

00:58:48A big

00:58:49One it

00:58:49Could be

00:58:50To

00:58:50In a game

00:58:53Low on

00:58:54Chances

00:58:54Jordan

00:58:56Henderson

00:58:56Has

00:58:56Snaffled

00:58:57This one

00:58:58Henry's

00:59:00Onside

00:59:00Leeds

00:59:01Switched

00:59:01Off

00:59:02And the

00:59:03Cutback

00:59:03Got a

00:59:04Deflection

00:59:04Which teed it

00:59:05Up perfectly

00:59:06For Henderson

00:59:07And he's

00:59:08Smashed home

00:59:09And he's smashed home

00:59:09Beyond Lucas

00:59:11Perry

00:59:11To make it

00:59:12Brentford

00:59:13One

00:59:13Leeds

00:59:14Nil

00:59:14With Leeds

00:59:17Throwing caution

00:59:18To the wind

00:59:18Finally

00:59:19There's a bit of

00:59:20Zip to the game

00:59:21Slapped away

00:59:23By

00:59:23Vandenberg

00:59:24It's

00:59:30Ampadu

00:59:31With the arrow

00:59:32Into the area

00:59:33Which isn't dealt

00:59:34With

00:59:34Kelleher

00:59:35With a terrific

00:59:36Save

00:59:36But it bounced

00:59:40Down here

00:59:41For Okafor

00:59:42And

00:59:43Aronson

00:59:44They both

00:59:45Went for it

00:59:45And it needed

00:59:47Dealing with

00:59:47From

00:59:48Quivine

00:59:49Kelleher

00:59:49Eton Ampadu

00:59:51Willy

00:59:53Nonto

00:59:54Ampadu

00:59:56Bit of room

00:59:57Here for

00:59:58Ampadu

00:59:58He has

01:00:00Kept the ball

01:00:01For Leeds

01:00:01Nonto

01:00:02Inviting

01:00:03Calvert-Lewin

01:00:041-1

01:00:05Dominic

01:00:06Calvert-Lewin

01:00:07At it again

01:00:08For Leeds

01:00:09That's

01:00:10Four games

01:00:11In a row

01:00:12That he's

01:00:12Scored in now

01:00:13And credit

01:00:15To Leeds

01:00:16For their

01:00:17Response

01:00:17Since falling

01:00:18Behind

01:00:19They will

01:00:20Feel

01:00:21That is

01:00:22A deserved

01:00:23Leveler

01:00:23From the

01:00:25Head

01:00:25Of Dominic

01:00:26Calvert-Lewin

01:00:27Ampadu

01:00:29Poked it

01:00:29Wide

01:00:29To Nonto

01:00:30Who lifted

01:00:32It in

01:00:32Beautifully

01:00:33And that

01:00:34Is

01:00:35Meat

01:00:36And drink

01:00:37To Dominic

01:00:38Calvert-Lewin

01:00:39First time

01:00:40He's scored

01:00:40In four

01:00:41Straight

01:00:42Premier League

01:00:43Games

01:00:43Since

01:00:442020

01:00:45And leads

01:00:47The level

01:00:47Goodmanson

01:00:49Leeds

01:00:52Boyed

01:00:52By that

01:00:52Goal

01:00:53Fancy

01:00:54They can

01:00:54Go on

01:00:55And nick

01:00:55It

01:00:55Goodmanson

01:00:56Ampadu

01:00:58Ampadu

01:01:00Whistle

01:01:03Whistle

01:01:04Not far

01:01:04Wide

01:01:05Of

01:01:05Kelleher's

01:01:05Post

01:01:06That would

01:01:07Have been

01:01:07Some way

01:01:07To mark

01:01:08A century

01:01:09Of

01:01:09Leeds

01:01:10Games

01:01:10For the

01:01:11Leeds

01:01:11Captain

01:01:12Bogle

01:01:13Bogle

01:01:15Giving it

01:01:16To

01:01:16Damsgaard

01:01:17And

01:01:18Over the

01:01:19Top

01:01:19From

01:01:19Dongo

01:01:20Watara

01:01:20Would have

01:01:22Been

01:01:22Quite

01:01:22A

01:01:23Parting

01:01:24Gift

01:01:24From

01:01:24Burkina

01:01:25Faso

01:01:25International

01:01:26Who's

01:01:27Heading

01:01:27Off to

01:01:28The

01:01:28Africa

01:01:28Cup

01:01:28A

01:01:29Nation

01:01:29Soon

01:01:29Not

01:01:32Had

01:01:32Much

01:01:32To

01:01:33Shout

01:01:33About

01:01:33On

01:01:34Their

01:01:34Travels

01:01:34This

01:01:34Season

01:01:35But

01:01:35Given

01:01:35Brentford's

01:01:36Form

01:01:36Here

01:01:37At

01:01:37The

01:01:37GTEC

01:01:38This

01:01:38Would

01:01:38Be

01:01:38A

01:01:38Pretty

01:01:39Decent

01:01:39Result

01:01:39For

01:01:40Them

01:01:40I

01:01:42Think

01:01:42The

01:01:42Table

01:01:43Probably

01:01:43Doesn't

01:01:43Lie

01:01:44Faced

01:01:45The

01:01:46Leeds

01:01:46Team

01:01:46Different

01:01:47Prospect

01:01:48Than

01:01:48What

01:01:48They

01:01:48Were

01:01:48Maybe

01:01:49Three

01:01:49Weeks

01:01:50Ago

01:01:50The

01:01:50Results

01:01:51Of

01:01:51That

01:01:51Big

01:01:52Against

01:01:52Big

01:01:52Teams

01:01:53The

01:01:53Performance

01:01:53Levels

01:01:54They

01:01:54Deserve

01:01:55Them

01:01:55Knew

01:01:55It

01:01:56Was

01:01:56Going

01:01:56To

01:01:56Very

01:01:56Difficult

01:01:56They

01:01:57Changed

01:01:58System

01:01:58And

01:01:58They

01:01:58Changed

01:01:58The

01:01:58Way

01:01:59They

01:01:59Played

01:01:59In

01:01:59Recent

01:01:59Weeks

01:02:00And

01:02:00It

01:02:00Difficult

01:02:00To

01:02:00Play

01:02:00Against

01:02:01So

01:02:01We

01:02:02Were

01:02:02Always

01:02:02Very

01:02:02Respectful

01:02:02Of

01:02:03That

01:02:03We

01:02:03Dealt

01:02:03With

01:02:04It

01:02:04In

01:02:04The

01:02:04Main

01:02:04Today

01:02:04But

01:02:04I

01:02:05Probably

01:02:05Was

01:02:05In

01:02:05A

01:02:06Fair

01:02:06Result

01:02:06We

01:02:07Are

01:02:07The

01:02:26Deflection

01:02:26On

01:02:26Its

01:02:27Way

01:02:27Through

01:02:27But

01:02:27That

01:02:28Will

01:02:28Be

01:02:28His

01:02:28First

01:02:29For

01:02:29Brentford

01:02:29Since

01:02:30He

01:02:30Joined

01:02:30And

01:02:31That

01:02:31Is

01:02:31The

01:02:31Sort

01:02:31Of

01:02:31Goal

01:02:31That

01:02:31You

01:02:32Expect

01:02:32Him

01:02:32To

01:02:32Arriving

01:02:33Late

01:02:33And

01:02:33Getting

01:02:33On

01:02:33The

01:02:34End

01:02:34Of

01:02:34It

01:02:34Yeah

01:02:35He

01:02:35Played

01:02:35A

01:02:35Slightly

01:02:35Different

01:02:36Role

01:02:36Today

01:02:36Maybe

01:02:36A

01:02:36Bit

01:02:37More

01:02:37Advanced

01:02:37At

01:02:37Time

01:02:38With

01:02:38Vitaly

01:02:38Playing

01:02:39A

01:02:39Little

01:02:39Bit

01:02:39Deeper

01:02:40Gave

01:02:40The

01:02:40Opportunity

01:02:41To

01:02:41Get

01:02:41Forward

01:02:41More

01:02:41And

01:02:42Yeah

01:02:43Finished

01:02:44It

01:02:44Reasonably

01:02:45Well

01:02:45With

01:02:45The

01:04:48Going

01:04:49Towards

01:04:49To

01:04:50The

01:04:50Target

01:04:51Of

01:04:51Course

01:04:59beautifully about it afterwards as well from from the point of view of Leeds United they've got

01:05:04Dominic Calvert-Lewin on really good form having only scored once in his first 10 league appearances

01:05:08he's now scored in each of his his last four and it's gone incredibly well for Dominic Calvert-Lewin

01:05:14this run of scoring in four consecutive games is his second best of his career he's only managed

01:05:19five before that what have you made of this this change of form for him Theo well as well the goals

01:05:25he scored recently against Man City of course he just seems to stay fit and if he can stay fit

01:05:32look after himself he's matured as a player as a person that's the best opportunity they're going

01:05:39to get to stay in this league and as well he's going to yeah brilliant scoring against the top

01:05:43teams but it's the you know the teams around them where it's going to be but this is where I love

01:05:48playing with him when you just put it into a space don't overthink it when you have a player that

01:05:52stature up front and it's another option that England have if no one's actually performing

01:05:56well like Harry Kane so look I wouldn't shy away from him at all because he's brilliant if he could

01:06:00stay fit very England light on that conversation now some things to look out for across the BBC

01:07:04Jones only half won the ball there though

01:07:10Minter took a bit of a lash at it

01:07:14Gomez back into the box

01:07:15Liverpool take the lead in seconds 48 of them

01:07:23Salah will now take the corner and his chant is back in fashion

01:07:31Salah in but Brooker can't get to it

01:07:34Nikitiko got to it

01:07:36the freest of three headers

01:07:39Liverpool now have a position of control

01:07:43that's a good ball

01:07:491-0

01:07:50that's the kind of football you expect from Chelsea

01:07:55that's the kind of football and finish you expect from Cole Palmer

01:07:59Gusto for Chelsea

01:08:01Pedro Neto

01:08:05outside of Michalenko's done really well

01:08:08and in stoppage time at the end of the first half

01:08:14he tucks them into a two goal lead

01:08:16and we have everybody back

01:08:20Harry Wilson to deliver

01:08:21went for the one at the near post

01:08:23and it found its way through

01:08:26of Emile Smithrow

01:08:28it's awful from Hartman

01:08:30Cullen has options

01:08:34Uga Chubu is one

01:08:35and Burnley are level

01:08:38his third goal of the season

01:08:40excellent first touch

01:08:42and the second one

01:08:43nice and cool

01:08:45into the back of the net

01:08:46floated in by Wilson

01:08:51out as far as Robinson

01:08:55that's aimed back towards Harry Wilson

01:08:57lovely take

01:08:58Onisata beautifully

01:09:01and Calvin Bassi couldn't miss

01:09:03and there are five Burnley players

01:09:06inside the six yard box

01:09:08and none of them close enough

01:09:10to the eventual goal scorer

01:09:12Chuck Wasey with Robinson

01:09:17on the overlap

01:09:18Chuck Wasey instead

01:09:19trying to find Harry Wilson

01:09:21clinical

01:09:23from the Welsh International

01:09:25and that's a finish

01:09:27of a man

01:09:28full of confidence

01:09:29now Anthony

01:09:34Bassi got an important touch

01:09:38and so too

01:09:41did Oliver Son

01:09:42who has given them hope

01:09:45with less than five minutes

01:09:46of the 90 to go

01:09:48Saliba's tight on the goalkeeper

01:09:53it's bending in

01:09:54it's got it

01:09:55all the way from the corner

01:09:56the deadlock is finally broken

01:09:58I don't think many people

01:10:00could have seen that coming

01:10:01now Mateus Manu

01:10:04the young man

01:10:05it's in

01:10:06Wolves have equalised

01:10:09what a moment for them

01:10:11Arakadari deflects it in

01:10:14Saka gets the cross in

01:10:18it's in

01:10:19oh it's come off

01:10:25Mosquera

01:10:25it's an own goal

01:10:27well

01:10:28what an end to the game

01:10:29only one more game to go then

01:10:33in this round of matches

01:10:34it is at the end of which

01:10:35the players who play

01:10:37are going to play in Africa

01:10:38Cup of Nations

01:10:38will be leaving

01:10:39to represent their countries

01:10:41who do you think is

01:10:42going to be

01:10:43most affected by this

01:10:45Joe

01:10:45well look we're going to

01:10:46we see big numbers

01:10:47at Sunderland

01:10:48obviously they've created

01:10:49that real harmony

01:10:50in the squad

01:10:50they've got a great atmosphere

01:10:52that's going to hurt them

01:10:52no getting away from it

01:10:53they'll feel like they're

01:10:54in a good enough spot

01:10:55to deal with it

01:10:55but that's a lot of players

01:10:57I think in a few positions

01:10:58they've lost

01:10:59both of their options

01:11:01at the back

01:11:02it's tough

01:11:03but it's something

01:11:03that they'll have planned

01:11:04for in the summer

01:11:05so I'm sure they'll be ready

01:11:06yeah all the clubs

01:11:06know that this is going to happen

01:11:08it's not taking them

01:11:08by surprise

01:11:09but who else is

01:11:10standing out for you Theo

01:11:11for me when you look at

01:11:13Manchester United

01:11:13and Bwema

01:11:14they've spent a lot of money

01:11:15on him

01:11:15and how he's been

01:11:16influencing games

01:11:17and if United are going to

01:11:18want to climb at a table

01:11:19he's really important to them

01:11:20and of course Everton

01:11:21losing two main players

01:11:22and then Gay

01:11:22and then Di

01:11:23who are really big factors

01:11:25right now

01:11:25so they would be

01:11:26the big ones for me

01:11:27it could be a difficult time

01:11:28for Fulham as well Joe

01:11:30yeah the three names

01:11:31they really jump off the page

01:11:33I think especially Iwobi

01:11:34and Bassi

01:11:35Bassi's been incredible

01:11:36since he signed for my ex

01:11:37Iwobi's just really

01:11:39come into form

01:11:39if you know what

01:11:40a top player is

01:11:41Traquese's just really

01:11:43he looks really exciting

01:11:44at the moment

01:11:45you know exciting

01:11:45when he came on

01:11:46against Manchester City

01:11:47but you know

01:11:48it's an important tournament

01:11:49and like I say

01:11:50all these clubs knew

01:11:51it was coming

01:11:52and they had a plan for it

01:11:52yeah really difficult

01:11:53as you say

01:11:54for Manchester United

01:11:55losing their right hand side

01:11:57as it stands

01:11:58but for Everton as well

01:11:59with Gane and Di

01:12:01and you mentioned them earlier

01:12:02Theo

01:12:02is that creative spark

01:12:05going to cost Everton

01:12:06over that period

01:12:07or that loss of creative spark

01:12:09I think when you've got

01:12:09a player like McNeil

01:12:10who hasn't played

01:12:11a lot of football as well

01:12:11it's an opportunity

01:12:12for him to really

01:12:13that's what I think about

01:12:14it's an opportunity

01:12:15for players to actually

01:12:16stand up and think

01:12:16don't forget about me

01:12:17so look I think

01:12:18they'll be missed

01:12:19but there's some players

01:12:20that can come in

01:12:20and maybe do a job as well

01:12:21but look

01:12:22Arsenal have none

01:12:23which is always nice to see

01:12:24yeah

01:12:24none for Arsenal

01:12:25none for Aston Villa

01:12:26as well in terms of

01:12:27the title contenders

01:12:28Manchester City

01:12:29lose eight Nori

01:12:30and Marmush

01:12:31and apparently Liverpool

01:12:32lose Mohamed Salah

01:12:33as well

01:12:34he's going off to

01:12:34represent Egypt

01:12:35there's been nothing

01:12:36said about that

01:12:36over the past couple of weeks

01:12:38that's quite an interesting one

01:12:41because in some ways

01:12:42that might

01:12:43just settle things down

01:12:45a little bit

01:12:46with Salah

01:12:47off at the Africa Cup of Nations

01:12:48representing Egypt

01:12:49where he is desperate

01:12:51to get his hands

01:12:52on that trophy

01:12:52where Egypt

01:12:53are the most successful team

01:12:54and yet have never won it

01:12:55with Salah

01:12:56yeah of course

01:12:57and you know

01:12:57that was obviously

01:12:58difficult last week

01:12:59turbulent week

01:13:00but it seems like

01:13:01they sorted it

01:13:02resolved it

01:13:02he got his minutes yesterday

01:13:03and he goes away

01:13:04with everyone's best wishes

01:13:05let's take a look

01:13:07at the table then

01:13:08Manchester City's win
