00:00:01Oh, what a goal!

00:00:02Oh, look at that!

00:00:03Absolutely phenomenal!

00:00:05Rudy Alcott!

00:00:08Welcome to Match of the Dead.

00:00:30Good evening, there are eight Premier League games to show you tonight, and we'll find

00:00:54out who will occupy the number one spot at Christmas.

00:00:57Speaking of number ones, we're in safe hands tonight.

00:01:00If they say a pundit is for life, not just for Christmas, well, we've got two keepers.

00:01:04Joe Hart and Shea Given are here.

00:01:06And there was fog on the tines specially for us this evening at St James's Park.

00:01:11Newcastle in 12th met Chelsea in 4th.

00:01:13Six points separate the two teams, and both won their League Cup quarterfinals in midweek.

00:01:18Steve Bauer is your commentator.

00:01:22Eddie Howe recorded his 100th win as Newcastle manager here on Wednesday.

00:01:26Only Kevin Keegan reached that milestone quicker.

00:01:29But his defensive headaches are increasing.

00:01:31Tino Libramento is the latest name to be added to a list of six defenders out.

00:01:36He is thankful today, though, that Lewis Hall is fit to face his former club.

00:01:41Jake and Ramsey is also in.

00:01:43Visser, Barnes, Joe Linton and Alanga are all substitutes.

00:01:47Chelsea, who've lost on their last three Premier League visits to St James's.

00:01:51Welcome back Moises Casado after suspension.

00:01:54He replaces Enzo Fernandes, who drops to the bench.

00:01:57It means another start for Cole Palmer and Alejandro Garnaccio.

00:02:02Esteban is still out injured.

00:02:06Chelsea have won four of their eight away games this season.

00:02:09Newcastle beaten just twice here in the Premier League.

00:02:14Tafana got a little fortunate there.

00:02:17But Gordon didn't give it up.

00:02:19Gimmaras.

00:02:21Quickly out to Murphy.

00:02:23In towards Valtemada.

00:02:26What a save by Sanchez.

00:02:28And Valtemada with the follow-up.

00:02:31Just past the three-minute mark.

00:02:35Newcastle lead.

00:02:38Early delivery was crucial for Murphy.

00:02:42What a save this is.

00:02:44But Valtemada couldn't really miss.

00:02:47Nick Valtemada scores his eighth Newcastle goal.

00:02:52And the hosts have the early lead.

00:02:56Three minutes and six seconds the timing of the goal.

00:02:59That is the earliest that Chelsea have conceded all season.

00:03:02Gimmaras.

00:03:04Arthur Murphy.

00:03:05Gordon is bursting into the penalty area.

00:03:08Ramsey's there as well.

00:03:11Still Murphy.

00:03:13Cucurea in the way.

00:03:14No corner.

00:03:15Malo Augusto is still down in the penalty area.

00:03:20Good build-up.

00:03:22To that attack.

00:03:23Here come Newcastle again.

00:03:24It's Gordon.

00:03:27And it's tipped over by Sanchez.

00:03:28And Chelsea are furious.

00:03:30Because Malo Augusto would have been marking Anthony Gordon.

00:03:34Sanchez has been shown the yellow card by Andy Madley.

00:03:37This is the incident.

00:03:39They're coming together.

00:03:41Brilliantly tipped over in the end.

00:03:43By Sanchez.

00:03:44Because that was travelling.

00:03:47Ramsey for Newcastle.

00:03:49He's now scored in all nine home Premier League games this season.

00:03:52That was Trafana on Gordon.

00:03:54Well Eddie Howe.

00:03:55Six days ago.

00:03:57In the derby.

00:03:58Did mention the word attitude.

00:04:00It's been.

00:04:01Bang on so far.

00:04:03And a stark contrast from Newcastle.

00:04:05Haul into Gordon.

00:04:08Now all the cavalry gone forward.

00:04:09This needs to go in.

00:04:10And it does.

00:04:11For Tamada.

00:04:12And the double.

00:04:13Two for him.

00:04:14Two for Newcastle.

00:04:15Inside the first 20 minutes.

00:04:16Anthony Gordon the provider.

00:04:17Wicked delivery.

00:04:19What a.

00:04:20Superbly.

00:04:21Composed finish that was from Nicole Tamada.

00:04:22And his team.

00:04:23Lead 2-0.

00:04:242-0.

00:04:252-0.

00:05:142-0.

00:05:152-0.

00:05:162-0.

00:05:172-0.

00:05:18Can Newcastle get numbers in the box?

00:05:20Holtamada!

00:05:24He thought that was his moment.

00:05:27And so too did the majority of St James' Park.

00:05:31Never scored a senior club hat-trick.

00:05:34He was inches away from doing so there.

00:05:39Newcastle had more shots on target in the first seven minutes of this game

00:05:43than the entire derby last weekend.

00:05:46And that very much says it all so far.

00:05:50Can Chelsea change the narrative?

00:05:53Palmer.

00:05:54First time he's been in that kind of area and he's been farmed.

00:06:01Jacob Ramsey, the offender.

00:06:04Free kick, which Chelsea hope will be a profitable one.

00:06:09Rhys James.

00:06:10Oh, it is!

00:06:11It's outstanding from Rhys James.

00:06:14And the Chelsea captain has reduced it to 2-1.

00:06:20And he's given them the perfect start to the second half.

00:06:23This angle will show you even better.

00:06:25Over the wall, dipping.

00:06:27Clip off the post into the bottom corner.

00:06:30Game on at St James'.

00:06:31Gordon.

00:06:34Newcastle will pick up the pace again.

00:06:37Gordon goes again.

00:06:41What's the referee doing here?

00:06:43Goal kick.

00:06:44They are obviously having a look at it.

00:06:47Peter Banks agrees with the interpretation of Andy Madley.

00:06:50Goal kick.

00:06:51Now Newcastle have got a scamper back.

00:06:56Neto.

00:06:57They're 4-on-4.

00:06:58It's still Neto.

00:07:00Is it opened up for him?

00:07:01Garnaccio.

00:07:03Back to Neto!

00:07:04Denied by Ramsdale.

00:07:06It's still alive potentially for Chelsea.

00:07:09Miley with the defending for Newcastle.

00:07:11It's a brilliant watch at the moment, this game.

00:07:17Anthony Gordon for Newcastle.

00:07:20Who has Hall bursting on the overlap here.

00:07:22Oh, and he's ignored him.

00:07:23He's gone inside to Ramsey.

00:07:26And then Gordon's cross.

00:07:27No problem for Sanchez.

00:07:29Lewis Hall raises his arms in frustration.

00:07:37Chao Pedro away from Chao.

00:07:40Chance for 2-2.

00:07:42And one he takes, the Brazilian.

00:07:45From two down.

00:07:47Chelsea are level.

00:07:50And his first touch with his head.

00:07:53Just wrong-footed Malik Chao.

00:07:56And on when Chao Pedro,

00:07:58who kept his call to get his sixth Chelsea goal.

00:08:03And Newcastle, who remember,

00:08:05have dropped 11 points from winning positions this season,

00:08:08have been pegged back again.

00:08:10Quite selfishly,

00:08:12quite selfishly,

00:08:13it's one of those pulsating affairs you don't want to end.

00:08:18Tonali.

00:08:20Visser.

00:08:21Here's Harvey Barnes!

00:08:24Corner.

00:08:25What a recovery from Rhys James.

00:08:27In a situation where he had to time that absolutely correctly, he did.

00:08:35No foul on Gimmaras.

00:08:45Here comes Garnaccio for Chelsea.

00:08:47Tried to squeeze it into the near post, and Ramsdale equal to it.

00:08:51He's furious, he didn't get the free kick here, but on went Chelsea, and Garnaccio just tried to catch out the Newcastle goalkeeper.

00:09:01But, no exaggeration to say, there has not been a single lull in this game.

00:09:09He's gone again, Gimmaras.

00:09:10It's Harvey Barnes!

00:09:11They were all up around, mate.

00:09:15All the Geordie supporters celebrating.

00:09:19But Harvey Barnes is still wondering how he hasn't made it 3-2.

00:09:26Gimmaras, over the top.

00:09:31Rhys James, Barnes hasn't given it up!

00:09:37Andy Madley is looking at his assistant, who is unmoved.

00:09:41Andy Madley is now waiting for Peter Banks to have a look at this.

00:09:45Rhys James on Harvey Barnes there.

00:09:48The interpretation is a small pull, but the ball is bouncing out of Barnes' control into the goalkeeper.

00:09:57So the on-field decision remains.

00:10:00We played so well today.

00:10:02An outstanding performance, especially in the first half.

00:10:04I thought we dominated the game.

00:10:05Chances were there for us.

00:10:06I thought athletically, considering we played on Wednesday night, we were magnificent.

00:10:11Devastated for the lads that we didn't get the win.

00:10:13Very proud of the players in this stadium.

00:10:152-0 down, half-time.

00:10:16Not many teams, I think, can do what the players have done.

00:10:20The goal we scored at the beginning of the second half helped a lot.

00:10:22In terms of confidence, in terms of everything.

00:10:25But even after the second goal we scored, we had some chances to win the game.

00:10:30They had also some chances.

00:10:31So, nice game for the people at all.

00:10:34Your goal eventually has got the point.

00:10:35I mean, it wasn't a conventional one, was it, from Robert Sanchez?

00:10:39Yeah, I told him in the half-time to play this kind of ball on me.

00:10:42Because I know I could do something different, because I'm always in the 1v1.

00:10:49And then it happened, I could control the ball in front and I scored a brilliant goal.

00:10:55There was a big call on a penalty.

00:10:56Chalabur on Anthony Gordon.

00:10:58What did you think of that?

00:10:59Yeah, I thought it was a stonewall penalty.

00:11:00I thought the defender went in with too much aggression.

00:11:03I think anywhere else on the pitch, that's a free kick.

00:11:06So, I'm really disappointed it wasn't given.

00:11:08Well, Enzo Moreska said it.

00:11:09It was such a fun game between these two sides.

00:11:12However, Eddie Howe really unhappy at the end of it with some of the decisions.

00:11:17Are Newcastle right to feel a bit aggrieved at the end of that game, Shea?

00:11:21Yeah, I think I can understand.

00:11:22Some of the decisions I actually disagreed with myself.

00:11:25I think Eddie Howe's angry at the end, especially with the penalty shout.

00:11:28I felt it was a penalty.

00:11:29We'll have a look at it here.

00:11:30There's a few decisions, actually, the referee had to make today.

00:11:32And a few tough ones.

00:11:33It's not easy, don't get me wrong.

00:11:34But the first one comes in the first half, Kelly.

00:11:36And I think this is a really nasty challenge from Garnaccio.

00:11:38If you watch this slowly, he doesn't make any attempt to play the ball.

00:11:41He goes over the top of the ball and clearly, you know, high up on Ramsey's shin.

00:11:45And I think, you know, VR didn't intervene.

00:11:47But I think that's a really dangerous tackle from Garnaccio and gets away with that one.

00:11:52This is the one Eddie's really angry about after the game.

00:11:54You know, Gordon's got ahead of Chalabur and he's made no attempt to play the ball.

00:11:57And you could argue he's going shoulder to shoulder.

00:11:59But even if you watch his right leg and Gordon's left leg, he comes right across him.

00:12:03And for me, I don't think that's a difficult decision.

00:12:04I think that's a stonewall penalty.

00:12:06And not given again.

00:12:08This is in the 95th minute, Kelly.

00:12:10And I'm not asking for Jameson Cassandra, but I think he clearly pulls his arm back there.

00:12:13And they have another opportunity to score from that position.

00:12:16So you can see and understand, I think, why Eddie Howe's angry with the decisions.

00:12:21I suppose you could argue that you could have been miles ahead in the first half.

00:12:24But again, these small incidents make a big difference.

00:12:26Yeah, they were so good in the first half, Newcastle.

00:12:29And by contrast, Chelsea were pretty poor for the first 45 minutes.

00:12:32And yet things seemed to change at halftime.

00:12:35It wasn't just that Chelsea got back into the game with the goals.

00:12:37Their whole approach was different.

00:12:39Yeah, Newcastle come out of the blocks.

00:12:40You know, they got so much stick last week against, obviously, the local rivals in Sunderland.

00:12:44They had a really poor performance.

00:12:45And then from the first moment, Eddie Howe said, actually, in the pre-match stuff,

00:12:48he goes, we need a reaction from the game.

00:12:50And we've seen that from the very, very first minute today.

00:12:52They were on the front foot.

00:12:53They used the crowd again to get them really behind.

00:12:55Watch this for a press.

00:12:56We didn't see this last week.

00:12:57Gordon jumps.

00:12:58Valtomata jumps.

00:12:59And you see Murphy on the opposite side.

00:13:01They're playing on the front foot.

00:13:02You see the back four squeezing up.

00:13:03The midfielder joining.

00:13:04This is Lewis Miley.

00:13:05He jumps in the right back position.

00:13:07A high press.

00:13:07And just keep an eye on Anthony Gordon.

00:13:09He has a press at James here, right?

00:13:10Misses the first one.

00:13:11He goes, I'm not happy with that.

00:13:13Go back.

00:13:13Nicks it back off James again.

00:13:15And again, now they're in the front foot.

00:13:16They're playing in the final third.

00:13:17Playing forward.

00:13:18Getting the ball right to Murphy.

00:13:19And I love Murphy.

00:13:20Puts early balls into the box.

00:13:22Gordon should probably score at the back post.

00:13:23Brilliant save from Sanchez.

00:13:24And the big man, Nick, on the spot.

00:13:26Around Christmas time.

00:13:27It's a fantastic finish from Valtomata.

00:13:29But again, you know, Chelsea, you did say they were poor, Kelly.

00:13:31And you're right, first half especially.

00:13:33But Gordon has nothing else in his mind.

00:13:34But get this ball wide.

00:13:35Get the ball into the box.

00:13:37And it's a fantastic centre forward play from Valtomata again.

00:13:39And it could have been, and probably should have been, 3-0.

00:13:42We look at Guimari.

00:13:43How free is he?

00:13:44The Chelsea players are all pointing.

00:13:46No one's doing anything from a Chelsea point of view.

00:13:47Which plays into Newcastle's hands again.

00:13:49Brilliant pass out to Gordon.

00:13:51And again, what they say.

00:13:52Gets it out of his feet.

00:13:53Puts a brilliant cross into it.

00:13:55And Valtomata don't think he's ever scored a hat-trick in his senior career.

00:13:58And he might not get a better chance.

00:13:59It's a brilliant chance.

00:14:00A brilliant cross from Anthony Gordon again.

00:14:01And a 3-0 couping out of sight.

00:14:03Joe, you think Mureska had a word at half-time perhaps?

00:14:05Yeah, I think he's questioned a lot about his team there.

00:14:07As you say, they were so bad in the first half.

00:14:09But Rhys James, captain of this team.

00:14:11That is a brilliant free kick.

00:14:13And you want that just after half-time.

00:14:16Feel for Aaron Ramsdale.

00:14:17He's got two of the best takers in the league lining up there.

00:14:20So he can't go early.

00:14:21Can't gamble.

00:14:21That's a brilliant.

00:14:22But we talked about João Pedro.

00:14:24Just talked in his interview.

00:14:25Said to Robert Sanchez at half-time.

00:14:27I can isolate João.

00:14:28Get that ball into me.

00:14:30Excellent movement.

00:14:31And honestly, this touch.

00:14:33The agility.

00:14:35Absolutely beautiful piece of play.

00:14:37And then to compose himself.

00:14:39Ramsdale one-on-one.

00:14:40Absolutely fantastic.

00:14:42And I talked about Rhys James taking the game by the scruff of the neck.

00:14:45Scoring a 30-yard free kick.

00:14:47That's all well and good.

00:14:48But we'll be playing in the defence.

00:14:49Late on in the game, you need moments like this.

00:14:52Bang.

00:14:52Never gave up.

00:14:54Barnes took that touch.

00:14:55And as soon as he took it, great opportunity.

00:14:57And a huge moment winning a point for his team on the road.

00:15:00Massive performance in the second half.

00:15:01Huge performance from him in the second half.

00:15:03And a really entertaining game all round.

00:15:05Now, Tottenham were looking to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat at Nottingham Forest last time out.

00:15:10When they took on the champions, Liverpool.

00:15:12Steve Wilson watched this one.

00:15:15There have been 206 goals scored in Premier League games.

00:15:19Between these two.

00:15:20That's a league record.

00:15:22Nine of them were scored when they met here on this weekend last season.

00:15:26Six of the nine hit by Liverpool.

00:15:29If anything, the margin of Spurs' defeat at the City ground last weekend actually flattered Tottenham rather than Forest.

00:15:35Thomas Frank makes one change today.

00:15:37Richarlison dropping to the bench.

00:15:40Lucas Bergvau is in.

00:15:42Liverpool have been clawing back some kind of normality in a five-game unbeaten run.

00:15:46Salah's departure for AFCON has taken the spotlight of that particular selection dilemma.

00:15:51Sobertsly is fit.

00:15:52Gomez is not.

00:15:53So the return of Connor Bradley from suspension is well-timed.

00:15:59Tottenham did win their last home league game against Brentford here.

00:16:03But that's one of only four successes in their last 22 Premier League games on home soil.

00:16:10Simons has caught Virgil van Dijk here.

00:16:18And the card is coming out for the Tottenham man.

00:16:20But it's really poorly timed by Xavi Simons.

00:16:27Left studs right down the Achilles of Virgil van Dijk here.

00:16:30That is very painful.

00:16:33Well, this is taking a while, this check.

00:16:37And Stuart Atwell is asking John Bookes to go and have a look at this.

00:16:43This does not bode well for Tottenham's Xavi Simons.

00:16:47But it never looks better in slow motion, that is for sure.

00:16:54After review, the Tottenham No. 7 with studs catches the Liverpool player on the calf high.

00:17:02It's an act of serious foul play.

00:17:04My final decision.

00:17:05Xavi Simons is sent off.

00:17:10And Tottenham Hotspur are down to 10.

00:17:15And he looks pretty upset.

00:17:17As he makes his way off the field of play.

00:17:22One Dutch team-mate on another.

00:17:28I don't think footballers darn socks these days.

00:17:34Kerkis for Gravenberg.

00:17:36Florian Wirtz.

00:17:39Wirtz, good save.

00:17:41By Vicario and Eketike couldn't quite reach it.

00:17:45Florian Wirtz, personal wait for a Premier League goal.

00:17:49Goes on for the moment.

00:17:51Liverpool making a change at half-time.

00:17:54And Conor Bradley, who got a knock just before the break, is replaced by Alexander Isak.

00:17:59Romero's forward ball hit.

00:18:07McAllister, Eketike, that's nicely done.

00:18:10Florian Wirtz and Alexander Isak scores for Liverpool.

00:18:14At some cost to himself, he's put Liverpool in front.

00:18:20His team-mates are really concerned for him here.

00:18:22They're waving medical staff on.

00:18:24Well, this might be the breakthrough that Liverpool wanted.

00:18:29Isak popped it off to Eketike.

00:18:31That's a nice ball into Wirtz.

00:18:33And Florian Wirtz will have his first assist in the Premier League for Liverpool.

00:18:39However, Isak has clearly hurt himself quite badly here.

00:18:48Liverpool have the lead, but they have an injury issue.

00:18:55Thomas Frank and Justin Cochran, deep in conversation, assessing their options.

00:19:02Kolem Mouane looking for Johnson.

00:19:05It's actually come back to Kolem Mouane.

00:19:07This is a great little run.

00:19:08And it's come off the crossbar.

00:19:13Archie Gray, Bergwahl, Spence and Alisson.

00:19:23Well, it's a super run by Kolem Mouane.

00:19:26As he hits the shot, it takes a huge deflection off Kerkhez.

00:19:30And comes down off the bar.

00:19:32But that's encouragement for the home fans.

00:19:35Sobber side.

00:19:42Frimpon.

00:19:47And the deflection on the cross.

00:19:48Eketike!

00:19:49And it's struck in!

00:19:52Liverpool have a second goal.

00:19:54Tottenham protest.

00:19:55Christian Romero has been shown a yellow card for protesting too much.

00:20:01Liverpool just celebrate.

00:20:03Well, Romero feels, I think, that Eketike has pushed him in the back as this cross came in.

00:20:10There's a deflection on the cross from Frimpon.

00:20:16Is that a foul on Romero by Eketike?

00:20:20The header drops in.

00:20:23And the goal will stand.

00:20:25It's a foul on Rishonis.

00:20:40Free kick is drilled in and hit Kerkhez.

00:20:44Van Dijk did well to win that header.

00:20:48It's gone out for a corner.

00:20:51This, in the 82nd minute of the game, is Tottenham's first corner of the game.

00:20:56There's a real sense that this corner represents maybe a last throw of the dice for Spurs to make it difficult for Liverpool.

00:21:09Richarlison goes down.

00:21:10It's a big deflection.

00:21:12Joao Palina.

00:21:13And Richarlison scores!

00:21:24Richarlison against Liverpool again.

00:21:26Well, this was beyond Struffy, but Spurs won't care.

00:21:32Liverpool had a lot of opportunities to deal with this and didn't.

00:21:36Richarlison finds the corner.

00:21:39Richarlison put the ball in the net.

00:21:41Went to go and retrieve it.

00:21:42Got involved with Eketike.

00:21:48Kanata.

00:21:49Free kick.

00:21:52Ploughing through Romero.

00:21:54Just needs to be careful, Christian Romero.

00:21:57And I think the referee has shown him a second yellow card here.

00:22:07Christian Romero is going to be sent off.

00:22:10And Spurs will finish this game with nine men.

00:22:17That's why Christian Romero got a second yellow card.

00:22:19Otterbeir for Tottenham to Richarlison.

00:22:26Nicely into Otterbeir.

00:22:28Whipped across!

00:22:28Richarlison!

00:22:29But Johnson on the ground inside the six-yard box.

00:22:37And John Brooks blows his whistle.

00:22:41And Liverpool have won a dramatic game.

00:22:45Tottenham continue to protest.

00:22:47Richarlison has shown a yellow card after the final whistle for dissent.

00:22:51A dramatic game in which Tottenham finished with nine men.

00:22:56But Liverpool's XI were left hanging on.

00:22:59But they have won it by two goals to one.

00:23:04Three points away at Spurs is very nice.

00:23:09It's a difficult stadium to go to.

00:23:11It's a good team to play against.

00:23:12And we need wins to let the league table look a bit better for us.

00:23:18And eventually that's what we did winning over here.

00:23:22Difficult game.

00:23:23But we had the control.

00:23:25That was a bit difficult in the last part of the second half course.

00:23:28They pushed and they scored.

00:23:30But yeah, we kept the result.

00:23:33And we go back in Liverpool with the win.

00:23:36That's the most important.

00:23:38First and foremost, I'm extremely proud of the players.

00:23:41Extremely proud of the team.

00:23:42I think they gave everything.

00:23:45Showed an unbelievable mentality.

00:23:47The players on the team responded today through several setbacks was immense.

00:23:53The first one is the first red, which I think is...

00:23:58I've seen it given before, but I don't like.

00:24:02I don't think it's a reckless tackle.

00:24:04I don't think it's an exceptional force.

00:24:06And then the second one, goal is the big mistake.

00:24:09Two hands in the back from the striker.

00:24:11As far as I know, the law of football is not allowed to do that.

00:24:14And then I think the second yellow to Kuti.

00:24:18I think you have a little feel of the games.

00:24:19Two big boys fighting.

00:24:22Well, Thomas Frank praised the mentality of his players there.

00:24:25And in fairness, towards the end of the game, even when they were down to nine men,

00:24:28they looked as though they might well get that equaliser.

00:24:31But they were down to nine men, Joe.

00:24:33Is there a discipline problem?

00:24:35Or was there a discipline problem in this game, do you think?

00:24:38Look, there's no doubt about it.

00:24:40They put a really good fight up.

00:24:41But at the same time, there was so much ill-discipline.

00:24:44And you can't have that against a very good team like Liverpool.

00:24:46You make it difficult for yourselves.

00:24:48Tottenham actually started well.

00:24:50I don't agree with Thomas Frank here.

00:24:51I think Xavi Simons, look, he'll be disappointed.

00:24:54There's no way he's gone out of his way to nail his fellow countrymen there.

00:24:57But that is such a dangerous thing to do.

00:24:59Dangerous tackle.

00:25:00He's caught him on the back of the Achilles.

00:25:03It's, for me, it's absolutely a red card.

00:25:05I know he looks perplexed when the decision's given.

00:25:08But 100%.

00:25:09And you see Richarlison, even here, they're fighting.

00:25:12They're scrapping for their lives.

00:25:132-0 down.

00:25:14And they managed to get themselves a goal.

00:25:16A really important goal.

00:25:17But just this little bit of petulance here.

00:25:19And we just see it all the time.

00:25:20You don't need to do that.

00:25:21You can get yourself a yellow card.

00:25:23Just get yourself back up and get back in the game.

00:25:25And from the moment Romero got that yellow card,

00:25:28I felt like another one would come.

00:25:30You could bank on it almost.

00:25:31And there, Canate's just baited him.

00:25:33And it's right in front of John Brooks.

00:25:34He's got no other way that he can do here.

00:25:37He has to give him a second yellow card.

00:25:39And that's down to nine, making it even more difficult.

00:25:43I just can't believe they just totally lost control.

00:25:46And for me, this is the worst.

00:25:47I really don't like this.

00:25:48Ben Sankor is absolutely cheap shot on Kerkers.

00:25:51He's hitting really hard there.

00:25:53Fellow professional.

00:25:54No need for that.

00:25:56Richarlison, after the game, just still not giving up.

00:25:58Getting himself a yellow card.

00:26:00Yeah, it just all looked a bit wild out there.

00:26:03It was a bit wild.

00:26:04But from Liverpool's point of view, they get the win.

00:26:07Arna Slott said it's important to start making the league table

00:26:09look a bit better for Liverpool.

00:26:12And in Hugo Eketike, they found a player who they can rely on

00:26:16to score in the big moments.

00:26:18I think, yeah, it was a good...

00:26:19I mean, he's a brilliant header.

00:26:20I thought, I mean, Thomas Frank wasn't happy after, was he, Kelly?

00:26:22He thought it was a foul.

00:26:24And it's interesting, because me and Joe were sort of off air,

00:26:25thinking, Joe thinks it's not a foul.

00:26:28Sorry, Joe thinks it's a foul.

00:26:29I think it's not.

00:26:29You see Romero has a look at him here.

00:26:31Fringpong's on the ball at the top of the picture.

00:26:33It takes a little nick, actually, the cross off Spence.

00:26:36But I just think Eketike gets up early.

00:26:37Hang time.

00:26:38I know we've seen in the past a Shearer or a Drogba or something.

00:26:40We've seen him powering over the defender.

00:26:42He's got the run and jump as well over Romero.

00:26:44And yes, you could leave her maybe with his hands.

00:26:46I think the referee, John Brooks, has actually got it right.

00:26:49VAR didn't get involved as well.

00:26:50And maybe, Joe, you think, not so sure?

00:26:52Yeah, I just feel like the hands on the back just gains an unfair advantage,

00:26:56in my opinion.

00:26:57But I can understand why they're giving and not giving.

00:27:00So they're allowing a little bit of contact.

00:27:02But the scoring run that Eketike is on is much more significant,

00:27:07given the injury to Alexander Isak.

00:27:09And we don't know what the prognosis is with him,

00:27:11but he was walking off on the ankle that we think he injured.

00:27:15How important can it be, particularly in the absence, we imagine, of Isak?

00:27:19Yeah, I mean, it's a big loss if Alexander's gone off injured again.

00:27:21He's had a stop-start campaign, hasn't he, to his Liverpool career.

00:27:24But Eketike, he looks the real deal, doesn't he?

00:27:26A brilliant striker.

00:27:28And he'll have to step up, obviously Mo Salah's left as well,

00:27:30to go to AFCON.

00:27:31So Eketike will have to stay fit as well,

00:27:34because it's a big loss if Alex is out for a number of weeks now as well.

00:27:37Now, we will see the top two, both in action very shortly.

00:27:40Before that, though, we're going to go to Elland Road,

00:27:42where Leeds were unbeaten in their last three,

00:27:45before the visit of Crystal Palace,

00:27:46who've won more games on the road than any other team in 2025.

00:27:51Stephen Wyeth is your commentator.

00:27:52Rediscovered excellence at home gets an appraisal from the Premier League's happiest of travellers.

00:27:59Leeds' recent tweak and approach can be considered tried and successfully tested.

00:28:04Just one change tonight, Brendan Aronson in place of Al Tanaka.

00:28:07Dominic Calvert-Lewin aims to score for a fifth game in a row.

00:28:11None of the 11 that started for Palace in Europe 48 hours ago are required to do so again tonight.

00:28:17Instead, Eddie Nketiah for Ismail Assar, now at AFCON,

00:28:20and Will Hughes for the injured Daichi Kamada,

00:28:23the only changes from Manchester City on Sunday.

00:28:27Feels like the November international break came at a good time for Leeds.

00:28:33They've scored ten goals in five games since it.

00:28:37As many as they had scored in the 11 games that preceded it.

00:28:41Mokkafor reacted as though caught.

00:28:48Pino has done a brilliant job of finding Wharton.

00:28:52He's now striding forward and returning it to Pino.

00:28:56Mateta.

00:28:57Nketiah.

00:28:58Good save, Lucas Perry.

00:29:03Pino for Mateta for Nketiah,

00:29:05who could have helped it on once more,

00:29:07but went for goal through the legs of Pascal Stroud.

00:29:12Nketiah flanked by two.

00:29:15Loses out.

00:29:16Aronson.

00:29:18Jadon Vogel coming out by outside him.

00:29:19Aronson opted not to use that option.

00:29:22And then Mitchell sliding in,

00:29:23took a really big gamble.

00:29:27Mitchell went sliding in to try and win the ball.

00:29:30But did he take ball or opponent?

00:29:36That has been checked and cleared,

00:29:38and it will not be a Leeds penalty.

00:29:45Here goes Okafor.

00:29:50Lacroix.

00:29:51He's done an awful lot of defensive coverage in his first half.

00:29:54He's sliding across to concede the throw.

00:29:56something that Leeds clearly feel that they can take advantage of.

00:30:04Launched by Ampadu.

00:30:07Off ahead of Rich is Calvert-Lewin.

00:30:09And the second time of asking,

00:30:11does the necessary?

00:30:14In the sort of form that he's only once previously experienced,

00:30:19Dominic Calvert-Lewin scores for a fifth Premier League game in a row.

00:30:22You'd have expected him to take the first chance

00:30:25as it came back to him off Dean Henderson.

00:30:28He made absolutely sure with the follow-up.

00:30:36Oh, Stax done superbly and found space

00:30:38and delivered across.

00:30:40It's been beaten away by Henderson.

00:30:41As far as Stroud!

00:30:42The deflection could have gone anywhere

00:30:46and Henderson,

00:30:49having punched it away,

00:30:51knew he would have been powerless

00:30:52to deal with the ball as it was returned.

00:30:56In from Ampadu.

00:31:00Aronson didn't make the necessary contact.

00:31:04But neither did Nketiah.

00:31:07Palace are rattled.

00:31:08And Ampadu with the long throw.

00:31:16Helps on Calvert-Lewin.

00:31:20He's got two.

00:31:21Leeds United have got two.

00:31:24And just ahead of half-time,

00:31:26they are in a position of real authority.

00:31:30Is there anyone anywhere at the moment

00:31:32that can resist Leeds United at Ellen Road?

00:31:35Out of the Premier League's bottom three

00:31:44at Christmas.

00:31:45Would be a wonderful achievement.

00:31:48Following promotion

00:31:49and something to build upon for

00:31:52Daniel Farker and Leeds United.

00:31:56Behind it goes.

00:31:58Off climb.

00:31:59For a Leeds corner.

00:32:03Stack with the corner.

00:32:05Aronson returns the ball

00:32:08with interest.

00:32:09Ampadu!

00:32:12Well, you know,

00:32:13things are going.

00:32:13Leeds United's way

00:32:15when Ethan Ampadu scores.

00:32:17That's his first in the league

00:32:19for them

00:32:19to make it 3-0.

00:32:22And Palace know

00:32:23that their race is run now, surely.

00:32:26Well, Ethan Ampadu

00:32:27has been such a huge influence

00:32:29on this game

00:32:30for the goals he has created.

00:32:33Now he's scored one.

00:32:36And with the sort of instincts

00:32:38that Dominic Calvert-Lewin himself

00:32:40would have been proud of.

00:32:41Look how alert he was

00:32:43to the possibilities.

00:32:47Goodmanson's throw.

00:32:48Locker 4.

00:32:53Road on.

00:32:56Deflected just wide.

00:32:58An insatiable desire

00:33:00from Leeds United

00:33:01to keep scoring.

00:33:03Palace could

00:33:04be on the receiving end

00:33:05of a hammering

00:33:06if they're not careful.

00:33:08Stack's corner.

00:33:09He's gone deep with it.

00:33:10It's just about repelled

00:33:13by Henderson

00:33:13and a real scramble

00:33:14in the aftermath.

00:33:17How is it not 4-0?

00:33:19Once again,

00:33:20the corner's causing

00:33:21all sorts of problems.

00:33:23That looks destined

00:33:24to be a Pascal Strout goal.

00:33:26You have got to go

00:33:30all the way back

00:33:31to January

00:33:32of 2002

00:33:34for the last time

00:33:35that Leeds scored

00:33:36three or more goals

00:33:37in three successive

00:33:39top-flight matches.

00:33:41Fresh water leg.

00:33:42Ucce is in here

00:33:43and has collided

00:33:45with Lucas Perry

00:33:46and it's a penalty.

00:33:47Gustantus Ucce

00:33:50got himself

00:33:52into a threatening position.

00:33:54It was just a hopeful

00:33:55ball forward

00:33:55by Wharton

00:33:56but it turned into

00:33:57so much more than that.

00:33:58Ucce brave

00:33:59to make sure

00:34:00he got there first.

00:34:03Deveni

00:34:03against Lucas Perry.

00:34:06He converts

00:34:08to give Crystal Palace

00:34:10something meagre

00:34:11to celebrate.

00:34:12Just his second

00:34:13in the Premier League.

00:34:15Showed the necessary

00:34:16composure.

00:34:17Send the goalkeeper

00:34:18tumbling in the

00:34:19opposite direction

00:34:20to where he wanted

00:34:21to place the ball.

00:34:24Deveni

00:34:24finding Drake's Thomas.

00:34:31They couldn't score again

00:34:32could they Palace?

00:34:35It's time to make

00:34:36things interesting

00:34:37in towards Deveni

00:34:38who struck the post

00:34:41when he might have

00:34:42given Leeds a scare.

00:34:44And it was a very

00:34:45presentable chance

00:34:47for him to add to

00:34:48his penalty

00:34:49of a few moments ago.

00:34:52Vaughna Sosa

00:34:52followed by Richards

00:34:54but intercepted

00:34:55by Gruhev.

00:34:57Jopiro.

00:34:58Gruhev has gone

00:34:59for the return.

00:35:01He could

00:35:01power by Vaughna Sosa

00:35:02surely has he?

00:35:06Well Thomas Bramall

00:35:07is just

00:35:08waiting to see

00:35:09if he gets

00:35:10any assistance

00:35:10in terms of this

00:35:11being in or

00:35:13inside

00:35:13outside or

00:35:14inside the

00:35:15penalty area.

00:35:16Penalty.

00:35:17The location

00:35:19of the foul

00:35:19is being checked.

00:35:22And it would

00:35:23seem

00:35:24as though

00:35:25the

00:35:25contact

00:35:27was

00:35:27before

00:35:28Gruhev

00:35:29entered the

00:35:3118 yard box.

00:35:33It will be

00:35:34a free kick

00:35:35instead

00:35:35of a spot

00:35:36kick.

00:35:40It's nowhere near

00:35:41as good an

00:35:41opportunity as

00:35:42one from 12 yards

00:35:43but

00:35:44Stack

00:35:47that is

00:35:49quite

00:35:49exceptional.

00:35:51Leeds do

00:35:52have a

00:35:53fourth goal.

00:35:54They can

00:35:55finish the game

00:35:56with further

00:35:56celebrations.

00:35:57Anton Stack

00:35:59knew exactly

00:36:00what he wanted

00:36:00to do.

00:36:02Over the

00:36:02wall

00:36:02wrong

00:36:03footing

00:36:03Henderson.

00:36:04No penalty

00:36:05kick.

00:36:06No problem

00:36:07for Anton Stack

00:36:08instead

00:36:09gloriously

00:36:10dispatching

00:36:11the free kick

00:36:11to make it

00:36:12Leeds United

00:36:13for

00:36:14Crystal Palace

00:36:15one.

00:36:17If you concede

00:36:18four set play

00:36:19goals I think

00:36:19it's

00:36:20embarrassing.

00:36:21So we lost

00:36:22and we couldn't

00:36:23have conceded

00:36:23two or three

00:36:24more from set

00:36:24play so I

00:36:25think

00:36:25that almost

00:36:27no chance

00:36:27from open

00:36:28play but

00:36:28every single

00:36:29throw in

00:36:30every single

00:36:30corner was

00:36:31dangerous and

00:36:32we just

00:36:32didn't defend

00:36:33it well and

00:36:34we have to

00:36:35change this.

00:36:35It's complex

00:36:36when you don't

00:36:36have the best

00:36:37individual quality

00:36:37then you need

00:36:38to find a

00:36:39plan how it

00:36:41works and

00:36:41the Leeds

00:36:42are doing

00:36:42really well but

00:36:43it's not the

00:36:44time right now

00:36:45to sing the

00:36:45high praise of

00:36:46Leeds United

00:36:47we are in a

00:36:47good position but

00:36:48with 19 points

00:36:49we won't

00:36:50achieve our

00:36:50goals we have

00:36:51to keep going.

00:36:52Daniel Farker

00:36:53talked about

00:36:53the fact that

00:36:54Leeds United

00:36:55needed to find

00:36:56a plan.

00:36:56Oliver Glasner

00:36:57said what it

00:36:57was which

00:36:58was set

00:36:59plays Joe.

00:36:59Oh my

00:37:00goodness me

00:37:00the threat

00:37:01from set

00:37:01pieces today

00:37:02Leeds

00:37:03Ellen Robe

00:37:04was absolutely

00:37:04rocking every

00:37:05time a

00:37:05throw in

00:37:06Ampadu here

00:37:07you see him

00:37:08sending absolute

00:37:08missiles into it

00:37:09and we've

00:37:10highlighted

00:37:10Calvert-Lewin

00:37:11versus

00:37:11Wharton

00:37:12really really

00:37:13sharp

00:37:13round the

00:37:14back

00:37:14loses his

00:37:15man

00:37:15this man

00:37:16he's on

00:37:17fire at the

00:37:17moment

00:37:17you can't

00:37:18give him

00:37:18two opportunities

00:37:19from that

00:37:19close

00:37:19an excellent

00:37:20start for

00:37:21Leeds

00:37:21and they

00:37:22were looking

00:37:23so threatening

00:37:23as we highlight

00:37:24Wharton

00:37:25and Calvert-Lewin

00:37:25again

00:37:26Ampadu sends

00:37:26one in

00:37:27and Beal

00:37:28who actually

00:37:29gets himself

00:37:29two assists

00:37:30today with

00:37:31an excellent

00:37:31header

00:37:32he's really

00:37:32on fire

00:37:33at the

00:37:33moment

00:37:33he looks

00:37:34deadly in

00:37:34front of

00:37:34goal

00:37:35and like

00:37:35I say

00:37:36Leeds

00:37:36looked really

00:37:37really good

00:37:37going forward

00:37:38talk about

00:37:40Aronson

00:37:40highlighted on

00:37:41the edge

00:37:41here

00:37:41just helping

00:37:42it back

00:37:42in

00:37:42Beal

00:37:43gets an

00:37:43absolutely

00:37:44world-class

00:37:45touch here

00:37:46and Ampadu

00:37:46who was

00:37:47heavily involved

00:37:47in creating

00:37:48the first

00:37:48two goals

00:37:49gets his

00:37:50name on

00:37:50the score

00:37:50sheet

00:37:51excellent

00:37:51performance

00:37:52from him

00:37:52and a

00:37:53lovely

00:37:53poke

00:37:54taking the

00:37:55game

00:37:55putting him

00:37:563-0 up

00:37:56and it

00:37:57looked comfortable

00:37:57from there

00:37:58they were

00:37:58really really

00:37:58good today

00:37:59really impressive

00:38:00from Leeds

00:38:01and it's been

00:38:02really impressive

00:38:03for them

00:38:03in terms of

00:38:04their attacking

00:38:05numbers

00:38:05since they

00:38:06moved

00:38:06it was a

00:38:06half-time

00:38:07in the

00:38:07City game

00:38:08wasn't it

00:38:08that they

00:38:09moved to

00:38:09the 3-5-2

00:38:10and just

00:38:10look at the

00:38:10difference

00:38:11yeah

00:38:11honestly

00:38:12I've done

00:38:13quite a lot

00:38:13of Leeds

00:38:14games this

00:38:14year

00:38:14and even

00:38:14when they've

00:38:15lost

00:38:15I think

00:38:15they've not

00:38:16been bad

00:38:17but like

00:38:17you say

00:38:18since that

00:38:18change

00:38:18they've been

00:38:19excellent

00:38:19scoring goals

00:38:20quite freely

00:38:21and Daniel

00:38:22Farker can be

00:38:22really pleased

00:38:23with his team

00:38:23they're looking

00:38:23like they're

00:38:24in a really

00:38:24good moment

00:38:25what about

00:38:25Dominic

00:38:26Calvert-Lewin

00:38:26he also

00:38:27is in a

00:38:27really good

00:38:28moment

00:38:28good enough

00:38:29do you think

00:38:35and when

00:38:35he's firing

00:38:36he's scored

00:38:37six goals

00:38:37in the last

00:38:38five games

00:38:38I've seen him

00:38:39interview recently

00:38:40about how good

00:38:40he feels

00:38:41about his game

00:38:41we've talked

00:38:42about Danny

00:38:43Welbeck

00:38:43Harry Kane

00:38:44of course

00:38:44is going to

00:38:44be there

00:38:45Ollie Watkins

00:38:45but a fit

00:38:46Dominic

00:38:47Calvert-Lewin

00:38:47is a great

00:38:48option to have

00:38:48now

00:38:50Manchester City

00:38:51with six wins

00:38:52in a row

00:38:52in all competitions

00:38:53began the day

00:38:54two points

00:38:55behind top of the

00:38:56table Arsenal

00:38:56who had to wait

00:38:58until the late

00:38:58kick-off

00:38:59visitors West Ham

00:39:00were without a win

00:39:01in their last

00:39:10Manchester City

00:39:11go with the

00:39:11same starting

00:39:17short of 150

00:39:18for the club

00:39:20coming in six

00:39:21matches against

00:39:21West Ham

00:39:22the visitors

00:39:23are without

00:39:24both full-backs

00:39:25Aaron Wan-Bissaka

00:39:26and El-Haji Malik

00:39:27Juf

00:39:27which opens the

00:39:28door for Kyle

00:39:29Walker-Peters

00:39:30and Ollie Skarles

00:39:31while Max Kilman

00:39:32is preferred to

00:39:33Konstantinos Mavropanos

00:39:34who drops to the

00:39:35bench

00:39:36it's a bright

00:39:38but chilly

00:39:39Saturday before

00:39:41Christmas in

00:39:41Manchester

00:39:42Nico Gonzalez

00:39:45nicely done

00:39:46Foden

00:39:47Haaland

00:39:47second chance

00:39:51to shoot

00:39:52and he wasn't

00:39:53about to miss

00:39:54Alphonse

00:39:55Sarriola

00:39:55having saved

00:39:56the first one

00:39:57and Manchester

00:39:59City

00:39:59haven't taken

00:40:00long to score

00:40:01at all

00:40:01it's the

00:40:03tenth goal

00:40:04he scored

00:40:04against West Ham

00:40:05and it's goal

00:40:10number 24 of the

00:40:12season

00:40:12five minutes

00:40:14played exactly

00:40:15Manchester City

00:40:16one

00:40:16West Ham

00:40:17United

00:40:17nil

00:40:18so West Ham

00:40:20finding themselves

00:40:21in a hole again

00:40:22already here

00:40:24so far

00:40:25this season

00:40:25for the Hammers

00:40:26nine defeats

00:40:27and here comes

00:40:29Ryan Shirky

00:40:29Shirky's delivery

00:40:33into Haaland

00:40:34and that

00:40:35for a moment

00:40:36looked as though

00:40:37it was going to be

00:40:382-0

00:40:38inside the opening

00:40:40ten minutes

00:40:40lovely play

00:40:42and the sort of

00:40:44opportunity

00:40:44that Haaland

00:40:46often varies

00:40:48Foden

00:40:52who skips

00:40:52away

00:40:53from Fernandes

00:40:54and Haaland

00:48:33couldn't

00:48:33understand

00:48:33in the

00:48:34first half

00:48:34is how

00:48:34much

00:48:34space

00:48:35they gave

00:48:35Harlem

00:48:35you can't

00:48:36two

00:48:36opportunities

00:48:37like that

00:48:37there he

00:48:38is

00:48:38the

00:48:38robots

00:48:39back

00:48:39scoring

00:48:39again

00:48:40but what

00:48:41I loved

00:48:42about

00:48:42Manchester

00:48:42City

00:48:43today

00:48:43they had

00:48:44the ball

00:48:44taken off

00:48:45them

00:48:45but West Ham

00:48:46just had

00:48:46no chance

00:48:47as soon as

00:48:47that ball

00:48:48was turned

00:48:48over

00:48:48City

00:48:49the press

00:48:49was absolutely

00:48:50suffocating

00:48:51and the great

00:48:52thing I loved

00:48:52there was so

00:48:53much dynamic

00:48:53work getting

00:48:54the ball

00:48:55back

00:48:55but once

00:48:56they do

00:48:56win it

00:48:56again

00:48:57they're so

00:48:57composed

00:48:58and so

00:48:58threatening

00:48:59build up

00:49:00over here

00:49:01getting it

00:49:01out

00:49:01so threatening

00:49:02as I say

00:49:03not afraid

00:49:03to lose it

00:49:04when you've

00:49:04got a press

00:49:05like this

00:49:05you can

00:49:05take chances

00:49:06you can

00:49:06be more

00:49:07expressive

00:49:07Cherky has

00:49:08got the

00:49:09freedom to

00:49:09go at

00:49:09teams

00:49:10because he

00:49:10knows when

00:49:10it turns

00:49:11over

00:49:11he's got

00:49:11five of

00:49:12his teammates

00:49:12backing him

00:49:13up

00:49:13turning it

00:49:14over

00:49:14and like I

00:49:15say

00:49:15back to

00:49:16being composed

00:49:17back to

00:49:18doing what

00:49:18they do

00:49:18best at

00:49:19home

00:49:19making

00:49:20West Ham

00:49:20work

00:49:21tiring them

00:49:21out

00:49:34Cherky

00:49:34not being

00:49:35afraid to

00:49:35try things

00:49:36press

00:49:37not a

00:49:38great

00:49:38ball in

00:49:47ball back

00:49:48Cherky with

00:49:49magnificent feet

00:49:50here

00:49:50talked about

00:49:51the space

00:49:51Harlem was being

00:49:52given by the

00:49:52West Ham players

00:49:53in the box

00:49:54you can't do

00:49:55that because

00:49:55not only can

00:49:56he score

00:49:56he's an

00:49:57unselfish

00:49:57player

00:49:57Reinders

00:49:58capping off

00:49:59an incredible

00:49:59move

00:50:00they blew them

00:50:01away in the

00:50:01first half

00:50:02suffocating

00:50:03performance

00:50:04we found a

00:50:05new stat

00:50:05for Erling

00:50:06Haaland

00:50:06and he's

00:50:06joined top

00:50:07of that

00:50:07one as

00:50:07well

00:50:07which is

00:50:08goals scored

00:50:08before Christmas

00:50:0919

00:50:10one of four

00:50:10players to

00:50:11do that

00:50:11but at the

00:50:12other end

00:50:13and he won't

00:50:14necessarily get

00:50:14the spotlight

00:50:15shone on him

00:50:16we never do

00:50:17I've got the

00:50:19smallest violin

00:50:20in the world

00:50:21who's just been

00:50:23voted the best

00:50:24goalkeeper

00:50:25in the world

00:50:25so he has

00:50:26been very much

00:50:27in the spotlight

00:50:27he has not a

00:50:28lot to do

00:50:28but this is

00:50:29brilliant

00:50:29he gets a

00:50:30brilliant touch

00:50:30to come off

00:50:31and he's

00:50:326 foot 6

00:50:326 foot 7

00:50:33whatever height

00:50:33he is

00:50:34how quick

00:50:34he gets up

00:50:34off the

00:50:35ground

00:50:35here

00:50:35absolutely

00:50:36unbelievable

00:50:36to make

00:50:37the block

00:50:37he's a

00:50:38fantastic

00:50:38goalkeeper

00:50:39I think

00:50:39when he came

00:50:39on the market

00:50:40Hugo Vianna

00:50:41new to the

00:50:41club

00:50:41obviously

00:50:42the sporting

00:50:42director

00:50:43thought

00:50:43we can't

00:50:44turn this

00:50:44down

00:50:4426 million

00:50:45I love

00:50:46this save

00:50:46as well

00:50:46it doesn't

00:50:47matter as a

00:50:47goalkeeper

00:50:48how you keep

00:50:48it out

00:50:48Kelly

00:50:48take it in

00:50:49the mush

00:50:49whatever it

00:50:50takes

00:50:50as long as

00:50:51the ball

00:50:51doesn't go

00:50:51in the back

00:50:51of the net

00:50:52and look at

00:50:52Pep Guardioli

00:50:53he loves

00:50:54Donnarumma

00:50:54he's a

00:50:55fantastic

00:50:55goalkeeper

00:50:55and if a

00:50:56club wants

00:50:56to win the

00:50:57Premier League

00:50:57and I'm

00:50:57sitting next

00:50:58to one

00:50:58here right

00:50:59next to me

00:50:59they have to

00:51:00have a top

00:51:00goalkeeper

00:51:01and in

00:51:01Donnarumma

00:51:01they have

00:51:02one

00:51:02Nuno did

00:51:03say about

00:51:04West Ham

00:51:05you can't

00:51:05judge us

00:51:06too harshly

00:51:06on that

00:51:07game

00:51:07because

00:51:08Manchester

00:51:08City

00:51:09were so

00:51:10good

00:51:10but they

00:51:10will be

00:51:11judged

00:51:11on this

00:51:12next run

00:51:13of fixtures

00:51:13and this

00:51:14is where

00:51:15West Ham's

00:51:16situation

00:51:16could be

00:51:17or season

00:51:18could be

00:51:18decided

00:51:18in recent

00:51:19weeks they

00:51:19have had a

00:51:20tough run

00:51:20there's no

00:51:20doubt about

00:51:21that and

00:51:21of course

00:51:21going to

00:51:21Manchester

00:51:22City is

00:51:22always a

00:51:23tough

00:51:23afternoon

00:51:23but them

00:51:23fixtures

00:51:24you look

00:51:24at on

00:51:24the screen

00:51:25there

00:51:25they have

00:51:25got an

00:51:26opportunity

00:51:26and I do

00:51:26believe in

00:51:27Nuno

00:51:27they've got

00:51:27the manager

00:51:28to get

00:51:28them out

00:51:28of trouble

00:51:29Pep Guardiola

00:51:30said that

00:51:31league position

00:51:31didn't matter

00:51:32but they

00:51:32did go top

00:51:33with that

00:51:33win so how

00:51:34would Arsenal

00:59:56from

00:59:56Jocker

00:59:57but could

00:59:58Everton

00:59:58have had a

00:59:59penalty

00:59:59of their

00:59:59own

01:00:00look I

01:00:00think

01:00:01there's a

01:00:01lot more

01:00:01than

01:00:01significant

01:00:02contact

01:00:02in this

01:00:02I'm

01:00:03really

01:00:03strong

01:00:04in

01:00:04this

01:00:04year

01:00:04you know

01:00:04people

01:00:04will

01:00:05argue

01:00:05it's

01:00:05not a

01:00:06penalty

01:00:06but

01:00:06Saliba

01:00:07Barry

01:00:08gets the

01:00:08ball

01:00:09before

01:00:09Saliba

01:00:09and for

01:00:10me

01:00:10it's a

01:00:10clear

01:00:15Saliba

01:00:16kicks

01:00:16through

01:00:16the

01:00:16back

01:00:16of

01:00:16his

01:00:16foot

01:00:17and for

01:00:18me

01:00:18there's

01:00:18plenty

01:00:18of

01:00:19significance

01:00:19in that

01:00:19look

01:00:20he

01:00:20kicks it

01:00:20through

01:00:20the

01:00:20back

01:00:21and for

01:00:21me

01:00:21it's

01:00:21inside

01:00:21the

01:00:22box

01:00:22I don't

01:00:22think

01:00:22it's

01:00:22an

01:00:23difficult

01:00:23decision

01:00:23I really

01:00:24don't

01:00:24Sam

01:00:24Barrett

01:00:25the referee

01:00:25said

01:00:25no

01:00:26but I do

01:00:26believe

01:00:27Sam

01:00:28at least

01:00:29come and have a look

01:00:29at this

01:00:29for me

01:00:30that's a penalty

01:00:31all day long

01:00:31they may have

01:00:33had the benefit

01:00:34of that decision

01:00:35in particular

01:00:36according to

01:00:37Shea

01:00:37but it's a

01:00:38really significant

01:00:39win for Arsenal

01:00:40because it means

01:00:45Everton

01:00:46is this a

01:00:46new look

01:00:47Arsenal do you think

01:00:48look that's a massive win

01:00:50because that was a tough game

01:00:51tonight

01:00:51they've obviously took that

01:00:53moment of madness

01:00:54scored the goal

01:00:54stayed in front

01:00:55few difficult decisions

01:00:57for the referee

01:00:57but ultimately it's about winning

01:00:59especially at this stage

01:01:00of the season

01:01:00being on top of the league

01:01:02because they know

01:01:02they've got a dominant

01:01:03Manchester City

01:01:04breathing down their necks

01:01:05the only problem is

01:01:06that they have been here

01:01:08before Shea

01:01:09they have been top of the

01:01:10Premier League table

01:01:11at Christmas

01:01:12and they haven't yet won it

01:01:14when they've been top

01:01:15at Christmas

01:01:15is that a note of caution

01:01:16or is it an experience

01:01:18that they can lean on

01:01:19well you hope Arteta

01:01:20and the Arsenal players

01:01:20have turned off

01:01:21for this segment

01:01:21but look there'll be

01:01:23question until they get

01:01:24their hands on this trophy

01:01:24there's no doubt about that

01:01:25there's a big blue lorry

01:01:26coming behind them

01:01:27in Manchester City

01:01:28Pep Guardiola and his squad

01:01:29as Joe rightly said before

01:01:30are powering again

01:01:31back up the speed

01:01:32it's going to be

01:01:33a great race

01:01:34and Man City

01:01:35will push them all the way

01:01:36it is going to be a great race

01:01:37and there's still more games

01:01:38to come from today

01:03:52keeps it at

01:03:530-0

01:03:54Rob Edwards

01:03:56did stress

01:03:57when he took the job

01:03:58the amount of goals

01:03:59Wolves were conceding

01:04:00was a huge problem

01:04:01and they are keeping

01:04:02things a lot tighter

01:04:03of late

01:04:04limited Arsenal

01:04:05to just two shots

01:04:06on target

01:04:07last weekend

01:04:07but ultimately

01:04:08it did end in defeat

01:04:10Janot has it

01:04:12looking for

01:04:13Keane-Lewis-Potter

01:04:14Thiago's free

01:04:19and it's palmed away

01:04:20by Jose Sart

01:04:22it's the closest

01:04:25Brentford

01:04:26have come so far

01:04:27well

01:04:30it's been a

01:04:31frustrating watch

01:04:32this season

01:04:33the fans are keen

01:04:34for their voice

01:04:35to be heard

01:04:36they are not happy

01:04:38with the hierarchy

01:04:39at Wolverhampton

01:05:08first time ball

01:05:10from Yarmuluk

01:05:11flicks on to

01:05:12Shard in again

01:05:13really lively

01:05:18start to the

01:05:19second half

01:05:19from Brentford

01:05:20so this was

01:05:22Shard's first

01:05:23effort

01:05:24should the

01:05:25German do

01:05:25better

01:05:26was quickly

01:05:28followed up

01:05:36sure that's

01:05:36hitting the

01:05:37back of the

01:05:38net

01:05:38Yanuf

01:05:51finally

01:05:52break through

01:05:53Wolves'

01:05:53resistance

01:05:54and it's

01:05:56the first

01:05:56Premier League

01:05:57goal of the

01:05:57season

01:05:58for Keane-Lewis-Potter

01:06:00Wolves have

01:06:01had to hang

01:06:02in at times

01:06:02ride their

01:06:03luck

01:06:03but as soon

01:06:04as this

01:06:04ball bounces

01:06:05it's awkward

01:06:06and it goes

01:06:08over the

01:06:09top of the

01:06:09helpless

01:06:10great sheet

01:06:11McKeane-Lewis-Potter

01:06:37header

01:06:38there's been

01:06:41a notable

01:06:42injection of

01:06:43freshness into

01:06:44the Wolves

01:06:44attack since

01:06:45Matthias Marnet's

01:06:46come on

01:06:47picks out the

01:06:48Norwegian

01:06:49and he's

01:07:20for the exit

01:07:21it looks as

01:07:22though

01:07:23Brentford

01:07:24have wrapped

01:07:24up what is

01:07:25only a second

01:07:26away win

01:07:27of the season

01:07:28and it's

01:07:29Keane-Lewis-Potter

01:07:52penalty

01:07:53this is the

01:07:56Mane's

01:07:57first time

01:07:58ball in

01:07:58and does

01:08:00Kelleher get

01:08:01a touch

01:08:02no it's

01:08:02clear from

01:08:03that angle

01:08:03and is

01:08:04this a

01:08:05lifeline

01:08:05for Wolves

01:08:06in the

01:08:07closing

01:08:07stages

01:08:08Strand

01:08:12Larsen

01:08:13is denied

01:08:14and for me

01:08:17that sums up

01:08:18Wolverhampton

01:08:19Wanderers

01:08:20no conviction

01:08:21with the

01:08:21spot kick

01:08:22this is

01:08:23Teane from

01:08:24the Norwegian

01:08:24full time

01:08:26Wolves nil

01:08:27Brentford 2

01:08:28they've played

01:08:31their sixth game

01:08:32now on the

01:08:32rub

01:08:32previous five

01:08:33games it's

01:08:34been a draw

01:08:34at half time

01:08:35so there would

01:08:36have to be

01:08:36that element

01:08:36of patience

01:08:37but trying

01:08:38to do the

01:08:39right things

01:08:39consistently

01:08:40and hopefully

01:08:40that brought

01:08:40our rewards

01:08:42and I think

01:08:43we did that

01:08:43in the second

01:08:43half

01:08:44there wasn't

01:08:44loads in

01:08:44it started

01:08:45to make

01:08:45a couple

01:08:45of saves

01:08:46in an early

01:08:47period

01:08:47of that

01:08:47second

01:08:48half

01:08:48and we

01:08:48tried to

01:08:49address

01:08:50that

01:08:50again

01:08:52we're not

01:08:53in a threatening

01:08:53position

01:08:54from the goal

01:08:54they scored

01:08:54that first

01:08:55one

01:08:55but we've

01:08:56managed

01:08:57to gift

01:08:58that

01:08:58and then

01:09:00from there

01:09:00it's tough

01:09:01for us

01:09:01at the

01:09:01moment

01:09:01this is

01:09:02the worst

01:09:03I've felt

01:09:03in a long

01:09:05time

01:09:06we're just

01:09:06lacking

01:09:07that belief

01:09:07that we can

01:09:08actually win

01:09:08the game

01:09:08it's like

01:09:09we're afraid

01:09:09to

01:09:10we're scared

01:09:10to win

01:09:11the game

01:09:11almost

01:09:11we need

01:09:12to do

01:09:12some soul

01:09:13searching

01:09:13and have

01:09:15a look

01:09:15in the mirror

01:09:15and just

01:09:16figure out

01:09:17what we want

01:09:17to be remembered

01:09:18for at the club

01:09:19do we want to be

01:09:19remembered for

01:09:20fighting

01:09:22all the way

01:09:23to the end

01:09:24of the season

01:09:24or do we want to be

01:09:25remembered for

01:09:26being cowards

01:09:28and taking the easy

01:09:33option out

01:09:33and maybe

01:09:34trying to leave

01:09:35in January

01:09:35or letting

01:09:37other people

01:09:38not fighting

01:09:38and trying

01:09:39letting other

01:09:39people

01:09:39take your

01:09:41position

01:09:41and stuff

01:09:42like that

01:09:42so we need

01:09:43to figure out

01:09:43we need to

01:09:44look at

01:09:45ourselves

01:09:46in the mirror

01:09:46and figure out

01:09:47how we want

01:09:47to be remembered

01:09:48at the club

01:09:48we've had games

01:09:49where we've played

01:09:50well

01:09:50we haven't quite

01:09:50got the points

01:09:51but I think it was

01:09:53similar again

01:09:53last season

01:09:54it was something

01:09:56away from home

01:09:56I can't really

01:09:57put my finger

01:09:57on what

01:09:58but like I say

01:10:00going to Christmas

01:10:00to get a win

01:10:01away from home

01:10:02is brilliant

01:10:02there's finally

01:10:03two goals

01:10:04so you can have

01:10:04a couple of days

01:10:05off now

01:10:06a bit more extra turkey

01:10:07I wish

01:10:07lots of gaffer now

01:10:08yep

01:10:11good performances

01:10:11as just expected

01:10:12this time of year

01:10:13it is going to be busy

01:10:14Keane Lewis Potter

01:10:15though

01:10:15the standout player

01:10:16for either side

01:10:17yeah a bit of magic

01:10:18from him wasn't it

01:10:19today

01:10:19he had a brilliant

01:10:19performance

01:10:20and it's mad

01:10:21he's two goals today

01:10:22it's the same amount

01:10:23of goals he scored

01:10:23in the last 69 games

01:10:24would you believe

01:10:25yeah he was

01:10:26he was just brilliant

01:10:26he really was

01:10:27there's a difference

01:10:28between the two teams

01:10:29you know again

01:10:30threatening the line here

01:10:30we see him Kelly

01:10:31you know getting on the ball

01:10:32backing it up

01:10:33just everything he did

01:10:34he seemed to be lively

01:10:35and Keith Andrews

01:10:36spoke really well

01:10:37after the game

01:10:37about him as well

01:10:38what he brings to the club

01:10:39again he sort of

01:10:40wanders into them

01:10:40positions

01:10:41and no Wolves player

01:10:42at any stage

01:10:42thinks he can get near him

01:10:43or pick him up

01:10:44or anything

01:10:44again brilliant ball

01:10:45in for Shada

01:10:46good save from Sal

01:10:47of course

01:10:47but again he's all

01:10:48in the right areas

01:10:49keep an eye on him here

01:10:49Kreutche goes tight

01:10:51and just keep an eye

01:10:52on his movement

01:10:53after this

01:10:54you know he's just

01:10:54creating space

01:10:55between the lines

01:10:56trying to upset

01:10:56the back five of Wolves

01:10:58and just natural ability

01:11:00to pick up spaces

01:11:01and little pockets

01:11:01and no one really

01:11:02gets near him

01:11:03you see here now

01:11:03the defender drops off

01:11:05him and he comes alive

01:11:06this is a nothing

01:11:07kind of ball

01:11:08to be honest

01:11:08and Kreutche should

01:11:09deal with it

01:11:09but take nothing

01:11:10away from Lewis Potter

01:11:11he gives a brilliant finish

01:11:13and looks like he's

01:11:13scoring all his life

01:11:14with a finish like that

01:11:15again look at the space

01:11:16there's no one

01:11:17in a Wolves shirt

01:11:18anywhere near him

01:11:19nearly a lack of respect

01:11:20to him actually

01:11:20because he's

01:11:21you know maybe

01:11:22a smaller figure

01:11:23on the pitch

01:11:23but again he gives it

01:11:24way to Damsgaard

01:11:25brilliant ball from him

01:11:26look at all the Wolves

01:11:27Joe mentioned before

01:11:28not latching on

01:11:29inside the box

01:11:29you know space

01:11:31doesn't score goals

01:11:32players do

01:11:33and you see Keith

01:11:34Andrews come back

01:11:34to his old club today

01:11:35but it's all about

01:11:35that man Lewis Potter

01:11:36a fantastic day for him

01:11:38from Wolves point of view

01:11:40though they're beaten

01:11:41again today

01:11:42they've only got

01:11:43two points all season

01:11:44they're four points

01:11:45below where Derby were

01:11:46which is the record

01:11:46worst points total

01:11:48in a Premier League season

01:11:49there were fan protests

01:11:50at the game

01:11:50their executive chairman

01:11:52has stepped down

01:11:53this week

01:11:54it feels like a really

01:11:55difficult moment

01:11:56for the club

01:11:56and that was certainly

01:11:57echoed in Matt Doherty's

01:11:58comments

01:11:58when he was

01:12:00quite pointed

01:12:01in his criticism

01:12:02it felt as though

01:12:03it was aimed

01:12:03at certain individuals

01:12:04saying I don't want us

01:12:06to be remembered as cowards

01:12:07I don't want people

01:12:07to be looking to get out

01:12:08in January

01:12:09I don't want people

01:12:09to be shirking

01:12:10their responsibilities

01:12:11but how do you do that

01:12:13when the club is

01:12:13in the chaos it is

01:12:15well look I know Matt

01:12:16on a personal

01:12:17on a personal level

01:12:18I felt for him there

01:12:19he looked poorly

01:12:19I wanted to give him

01:12:20a big cuddle

01:12:21but on a professional level

01:12:22you've got to step up

01:12:23you've got to shake it off

01:12:24you've got to stop

01:12:25thinking about you

01:12:26your ego

01:12:26what's going to happen

01:12:27in January

01:12:27like he said

01:12:28and get in the trenches

01:12:29Wolves are in the trenches

01:12:30right now

01:12:31and the least you can do

01:12:32is put fight

01:12:33get your shirt on

01:12:34wear the badge with pride

01:12:35and fight for your supporters

01:12:37and your team

01:12:37and that's what Matt Doherty

01:12:38is trying to say there

01:12:39he's trying to get his team rallied

01:12:40like I say

01:12:42I want to give him a cuddle

01:12:43but this is big boy time

01:12:45you need to step up

01:12:46Burnley were six points

01:12:49from safety

01:12:50and on a run of seven

01:12:51straight defeats

01:12:52when they went to Bournemouth

01:12:53who were involved

01:12:54in an Old Trafford

01:12:55epic on Monday night

01:12:57this is Evan Nielsen

01:13:10the second deep

01:13:12ball out

01:13:12through the game

01:13:13Bournemouth are in front

01:13:153-3

01:13:19Jeffering

01:13:20roar in Old Trafford

01:13:21here's Mateusz Cunha

01:13:234-3

01:13:25yes

01:13:27Kruppi

01:13:29they've made it 4-4

01:13:32Bournemouth refusing to bow down

01:13:36hoping for more of the same

01:13:38at the Vitality

01:13:39Chris Wise

01:13:39there's been 2-2

01:13:413-3

01:13:41and 4-4

01:13:42scorelines in Bournemouth games

01:13:44this season

01:13:44so why not dream of a 10-goal thriller

01:13:47from the Cherries team

01:13:48that started Manic Monday

01:13:49there are two changes

01:13:50Lewis Cook returns from suspension

01:13:52and is straight into the team

01:13:54to replace the injured Tyler Adams

01:13:55David Brooks also makes his first start

01:13:58for a month

01:13:58Christmas in the bottom three

01:14:00a guarantee for Burnley

01:14:02Scott Parker returns to the club

01:14:04he won promotion with

01:14:05three and a half years ago

01:14:07but the relegation worries

01:14:08at his current team

01:14:09are intensifying already

01:14:11six Burnley changes

01:14:13some enforced

01:14:14others not

01:14:15as Parker seeks solutions

01:14:17it's only less than two months ago

01:14:22that Bournemouth were the closest team

01:14:23to the

01:14:24then leaders Arsenal

01:14:25in the Premier League

01:14:26nobody has fallen

01:14:28further down the table

01:14:29in that time

01:14:30than the Cherries

01:14:30Brooks

01:14:33Evan Nielsen

01:14:35lovely

01:14:35David Brooks again

01:14:37that would have been

01:14:37a really nice Bournemouth goal

01:14:39excellent understanding

01:14:43between Evan Nielsen

01:14:44and those who

01:14:44play behind him

01:14:46is that a foul on Cliver

01:14:54either that

01:14:54or he lost his balance there

01:14:55Cliver thinks he was tripped

01:14:57Walker's going to try

01:14:58and go past Sonesi

01:14:59Walker perhaps

01:15:00has got past Sonesi

01:15:02and in the end

01:15:04just didn't have the legs

01:15:05to keep going

01:15:06but that's Fleming

01:15:07that's Laurent across

01:15:09and that's Anthony in

01:15:10but the flag is up

01:15:11and it's not going to count

01:15:13and Anthony thought

01:15:15he had his

01:15:15moments against

01:15:17his former club

01:15:17it started with

01:15:19Kyle Walker

01:15:20rolling back the years

01:15:21getting at

01:15:21Marcos Sonesi

01:15:22there is a VAR

01:15:24check

01:15:25taking place

01:15:26I don't know why

01:15:28they're delaying

01:15:29too much on this

01:15:30unless of course

01:15:32they're looking at

01:15:32who actually played

01:15:33the ball there

01:15:33to Josh Laurent

01:15:35does it come off

01:15:35a Bournemouth player

01:15:36they've had a quick

01:15:40look at that

01:15:40and they've determined

01:15:41that Chris Kavanagh

01:15:43his team of officials

01:15:44got it right initially

01:15:45so the Burnley

01:15:46breakthrough on hold

01:15:47for now

01:15:48Diakite

01:15:52Evan Nielsen

01:15:53on the move

01:15:54watched by Worrell

01:15:56Sonesi

01:15:58sharper to it

01:16:00than Fleming

01:16:00and in for Brooks

01:16:02who puts it

01:16:02over the bar

01:16:03and that

01:16:04of all of them

01:16:05is the best chance

01:16:06so far for Bournemouth

01:16:07burst beyond

01:16:09the Burnley back line

01:16:10it was tricky

01:16:10because it was

01:16:11coming over his shoulder

01:16:12Diakite

01:16:16Brooks

01:16:20for Tavernier

01:16:21that was really nice

01:16:22this is Junior Kruppi

01:16:24maybe guilty of

01:16:26overplaying it

01:16:27and then the slip

01:16:27and Semenyo

01:16:28punishes that moment

01:16:30there's the Bournemouth

01:16:33breakthrough

01:16:33Antoine Semenyo

01:16:35again

01:16:36an eighth

01:16:37Premier League goal

01:16:38of his season

01:16:39but when the luck

01:16:41is against you

01:16:42as it feels it is

01:16:43for Burnley

01:16:44right now

01:16:44that's what happens

01:16:46Tavernier working it

01:16:48towards Junior Kruppi

01:16:50initially

01:16:51and then

01:16:51Laurent just

01:16:53loses his footing

01:16:53and unfortunately

01:16:55for him

01:16:55he lost his footing

01:16:56right in front of

01:16:57Antoine Semenyo

01:16:58the one he got

01:17:00at Old Trafford

01:17:01was his first

01:17:01in more than

01:17:02two months

01:17:03he's got two

01:17:04in less than a week

01:17:04and Scott Parker's

01:17:06faced with the

01:17:07familiar problems

01:17:08again

01:17:09and that goal

01:17:10from Antoine Semenyo

01:17:11by the way

01:17:11was the very first

01:17:12shot on target

01:17:13that Bournemouth

01:17:14have had

01:17:14this afternoon

01:17:15one by Cook

01:17:18and then

01:17:19collected by Trezor

01:17:21who has

01:17:21Truffair right

01:17:23behind him

01:17:23and Trezor

01:17:24gets Burnley

01:17:25the corner

01:17:25a bit of

01:17:27attacking thrust

01:17:27and all of a sudden

01:17:28Burnley are having

01:17:29a decent final

01:17:30five minutes

01:17:31short one

01:17:32from Lucas Perez

01:17:33Marcus Edwards

01:17:35oh that's a

01:17:37lovely ball

01:17:38there's the goal

01:17:39for Burnley

01:17:40and for

01:17:42Armando Broya

01:17:43right on

01:17:46the 90 minute

01:17:46mark

01:17:47that's the time

01:17:49to get your

01:17:50first Burnley goal

01:17:51barely been in

01:17:53this game

01:17:53Burnley

01:17:54but

01:17:54a bit of

01:17:55thrust towards

01:17:56the end

01:17:56and it's brought

01:17:58some rewards

01:17:58it's a free

01:17:59header for Broya

01:18:00five yards out

01:18:01and very well

01:18:03guided into the

01:18:04corner as well

01:18:05from the Albanian

01:18:06well Burnley

01:18:07are going to need

01:18:08a few more

01:18:08moments like that

01:18:09but that's

01:18:10certainly the

01:18:11foundations of

01:18:12moving things

01:18:12in a positive

01:18:13direction again

01:18:14so we go into

01:18:16stoppage time

01:18:16at 1-1

01:18:17and there will be

01:18:18five minutes

01:18:18of added time

01:18:19and Bournemouth

01:18:20who have looked

01:18:21comfortable

01:18:22if not necessarily

01:18:24menacing at times

01:18:25now find themselves

01:18:27back where they were

01:18:28Lewis Cook

01:18:30with the Bournemouth

01:18:30corner

01:18:31and the flick on

01:18:33and over the bar

01:18:33it goes

01:18:34Sanessi was close

01:18:36Burnley survived

01:18:38that scare

01:18:39the losing run

01:18:42is at an end

01:18:42for Scott Parker's

01:18:43team

01:18:44there was no denying

01:18:47we had massive

01:18:48pressure on us

01:18:48and mainly down

01:18:49to the run

01:18:49I don't think it's

01:18:50down to the points

01:18:51tally we've got

01:18:52so far this year

01:18:52because I see it

01:18:53still

01:18:53we're still right in it

01:18:55but the actual run

01:18:55which we've been on

01:18:57we needed to

01:18:58stop that really

01:18:59our reaction after

01:19:00the goal

01:19:01which was an

01:19:01unfortunate goal

01:19:02was slip

01:19:03was then an

01:19:03incredible reaction

01:19:04so we needed

01:19:05some fighters today

01:19:06we needed a spirit

01:19:07about us

01:19:08which I never ever

01:19:09put in question

01:19:10with this group

01:19:10and they give me

01:19:11every bit of that

01:19:11today

01:19:12everything is costing

01:19:13us now a lot

01:19:13to get one point

01:19:15you have to do a lot

01:19:16and in the games

01:19:17that position is

01:19:18better than you

01:19:20you get nothing

01:19:20the ones that you

01:19:21think you are better

01:19:22you have the best chances

01:19:23you just get a point

01:19:24and okay one point

01:19:26one point

01:19:26it's better than losing

01:19:28because you have to

01:19:29value every point

01:19:30but at the end

01:19:31I think we are the team

01:19:33with more draws

01:19:34in the Premier League

01:19:35so we have to find a way

01:19:36to go to the three

01:19:37point

01:19:37to put ourselves

01:19:38where we want

01:19:39well it might be

01:19:41just a point

01:19:41from Bournemouth's

01:19:42point of view

01:19:43but it was a late

01:19:44late equaliser

01:19:44for Burnley

01:19:45it was a first goal

01:19:46in two years

01:19:46in the Premier League

01:19:47for Brewer as well

01:19:48how significant

01:19:49though could that goal

01:19:50be for Scott Parker

01:19:52hey look

01:19:53it's going to have

01:19:53to be significant

01:19:54you know

01:19:54that's off the back

01:19:55of seven losses

01:19:56in the Premier League

01:19:57a lot of pressure

01:19:58mounting

01:19:58no one expected

01:19:59Burnley to really

01:20:00be flying this season

01:20:01but they're in a

01:20:01difficult position

01:20:02that's a great header

01:20:03from Brewer

01:20:04you know

01:20:04first goal in two years

01:20:0540 games

01:20:06there's some fight

01:20:07in him

01:20:08there's some spark

01:20:08in him

01:20:09and that's what

01:20:09they're going to have

01:20:09to take from that game

01:20:10two home games

01:20:11coming up

01:20:12big moments for Burnley

01:20:13and they're looking

01:20:14for a spark

01:20:15at Bournemouth

01:20:16they've not had a win

01:20:17in eight Premier League

01:20:18games

01:20:18so when you see

01:20:20someone like Antoine

01:20:20Semenyo

01:20:21again with the

01:20:22significant goal

01:20:22for them

01:20:23how important is it

01:20:24that they keep

01:20:25hold of him

01:20:25in January

01:20:26yeah well look

01:20:26at that graph

01:20:27third highest scorer

01:20:28in the Premier League

01:20:29all the goals

01:20:30are coming from this guy

01:20:30I know he's got

01:20:32a buyout clause

01:20:32in a week or so

01:20:33first of January

01:20:34it cakes in for 65 minutes

01:20:36numerous clubs

01:20:37looking at him

01:20:37it would be a worry

01:20:38from a Bournemouth

01:20:39point of view

01:20:39if you lose

01:20:39your star man

01:20:40because he scores

01:20:41most of the goals

01:20:42let's be honest

01:20:42he's a brilliant

01:20:43brilliant player

01:20:4325 he's in the peak

01:20:45of his career as well

01:20:45so it'll be interesting

01:20:47to see what happens

01:20:47in January

01:20:48can they keep him

01:20:48that's not a graph

01:20:49by the way

01:20:50what is it

01:20:50it's just a list

01:20:52Brighton in 10th

01:20:54began the day

01:20:55three points

01:20:56behind eighth place

01:20:57Sunderland

01:20:58top flight meeting

01:20:59between these two teams

01:21:00since 1983

01:21:01Jonathan Pearce

01:21:02was at the Amex

01:21:03two Christmas riddles

01:21:07how will Brighton

01:21:08end their Barron

01:21:09nine game run

01:21:16ill from the team

01:21:17beaten at Liverpool

01:21:18Sunderland have lost

01:21:19twice as many players

01:21:20to Afton as any other

01:21:21Premier Cup

01:21:22Masuaku

01:21:22Reinildo

01:21:23Siddiqui

01:21:23Talbi

01:21:31five months after

01:21:32he left Brighton

01:21:33having been a popular

01:21:34figure here

01:21:34here's Ruta

01:21:38looks for Minte

01:21:41the papers on the

01:21:43far side

01:21:44and he looks for him

01:21:46it's a clever

01:21:47spun pass

01:21:48best cross of the game

01:21:50so far

01:21:50that

01:21:51and Brighton have a foul

01:21:54that'll be the offender

01:21:58it's a lovely cross

01:22:00here by Ankuba

01:22:01Minte

01:22:01tried to spun cross in

01:22:04looking for the run

01:22:05of Maxime de Keita

01:22:06coming in from that left

01:22:07no more Alderete

01:22:13Wifa

01:22:16tricky border

01:22:18play in there

01:22:18that's a bad

01:22:19back pass

01:22:19it's a chance

01:22:20for Sunderland

01:22:20but Bruggan

01:22:21redeems the situation

01:22:22and away

01:22:23in the end

01:22:24by Karioglu

01:22:25nearly given away

01:22:27by Brighton

01:22:28Hove Albion

01:22:28untidy here

01:22:31Wifa

01:22:31played Hinchwood

01:22:33into trouble

01:22:33that's a bad

01:22:34pass

01:22:35but Bruggan

01:22:36came up

01:22:36very very quickly

01:22:37Hugh

01:22:42high for Brobby

01:22:45he's got between

01:22:46the centre-backs

01:22:47the goalkeeper's

01:22:48come out

01:22:48couldn't get a

01:22:49claw on it

01:22:50Brobby

01:22:50blocked again

01:22:51Brighton are wobbling

01:22:53Sunderland are on top

01:22:55look at the

01:22:58space for him

01:22:59goalkeeper came

01:23:00couldn't get a glove

01:23:01on it

01:23:02and it's

01:23:03blocked

01:23:04combination there

01:23:05I think of

01:23:06Coppola

01:23:06and the goalkeeper

01:23:07Brighton

01:23:10A need to

01:23:11pass it all

01:23:12more accurately

01:23:12than they did

01:23:13in the first half

01:23:14and B

01:23:15up the tempo

01:23:16of their passing

01:23:17Dingra finds

01:23:21Lafayette

01:23:22good ball

01:23:23back in the mix

01:23:23Alderete

01:23:24good save

01:23:25strong save

01:23:27Elmar

01:23:29Alderete denied

01:23:30by a fine piece

01:23:31of goalkeeping

01:23:31a little bit

01:23:35of fortune

01:23:36and the

01:23:37woodwork

01:23:37helped him

01:23:37out

01:23:38a little bit of

01:23:45Skagli

01:23:46intelligent ball

01:23:48Veltman

01:23:48back into the

01:23:49middle

01:23:49over

01:23:49big chance

01:23:50Yasin

01:23:51Ayari

01:23:51one of

01:23:53Brighton's

01:23:53best chances

01:23:54of the game

01:23:54well crafted

01:23:56that

01:23:56poorly executed

01:23:58in the end

01:23:58and skied

01:24:00by the 22

01:24:01year old

01:24:01Swedish

01:24:02international

01:24:02or lack

01:24:05any sort

01:24:06of penetrative

01:24:06power

01:24:07up front

01:24:07and it is

01:24:09a worry

01:24:10Henny Welbeck

01:24:11is suffering

01:24:11back spasms

01:24:13at the moment

01:24:13not part of

01:24:14the squad

01:24:15here's Grudu

01:24:15can open up

01:24:16a defence

01:24:17and does so

01:24:17again

01:24:18and the shot

01:24:19was a good

01:24:19one from

01:24:19Yasin Ayari

01:24:20rising

01:24:22now he's had

01:24:23their best

01:24:24moments

01:24:24in the

01:24:25second

01:24:25half

01:24:2565 minutes

01:24:29gone

01:24:30Mordi

01:24:34set

01:24:34Lafay

01:24:35away

01:24:35Skagli

01:24:36struggling

01:24:36a little

01:24:37bit

01:24:37first time

01:24:38ball

01:24:38and needs

01:24:38to be

01:24:38cleared

01:24:39away

01:24:39it wasn't

01:24:40it was a

01:24:41decent shot

01:24:41on goal

01:24:42in the end

01:24:42by Romain

01:24:44Mundell

01:24:44just on

01:24:45as a

01:24:45substitute

01:24:46towards the

01:24:47stretching

01:24:47save

01:24:48not too

01:24:51sure Brighton

01:24:52have done

01:24:52enough

01:24:52over the

01:24:53what

01:24:5476 minutes

01:24:54to win

01:24:55the game

01:24:55I don't

01:24:56think

01:24:56Sunderland

01:24:56have done

01:24:56anything

01:24:57wrong

01:24:58to lose

01:24:59it

01:24:59here's

01:25:01Veltman

01:25:02might have

01:25:03had a go

01:25:04pulls it

01:25:04back

01:25:04they've got

01:25:05him behind

01:25:08the ball

01:25:09over it

01:25:09went

01:25:09pulled back

01:25:12to him

01:25:13by

01:25:13Shalampos

01:25:14Kostrelas

01:25:15and he's

01:25:16had three

01:25:17good

01:25:17shooting

01:25:18chances

01:25:18in the

01:25:19game

01:25:19and he's

01:25:20put them

01:25:20all over

01:25:20he's

01:25:25headed up

01:25:25but not

01:25:29he's

01:25:30overrun

01:25:31that

01:25:31and that's

01:25:32going to be

01:25:32a challenge

01:25:33that's looked

01:25:33at

01:25:34it's a yellow

01:25:36card for him

01:25:37caught Kostrelas

01:25:41there

01:25:41it was the

01:25:43follow through

01:25:44that could

01:25:44cause him

01:25:45problems

01:25:45here

01:25:45that's been

01:25:47confirmed

01:25:47as a yellow

01:25:48card

01:25:48only

01:25:49by the

01:25:50VAR

01:25:50Ruda

01:25:54rode the

01:25:55challenge

01:25:55could have

01:25:55released

01:25:56to Kostrelas

01:25:58does release

01:25:59to Ayari

01:25:59this time

01:26:00he does hit

01:26:00the target

01:26:01the rebound

01:26:01is off the

01:26:02chest

01:26:02of the

01:26:02Sunderland

01:26:03goalkeeper

01:26:03skipped

01:26:05inside his

01:26:05man

01:26:06kept his

01:26:07shot down

01:26:07low

01:26:07looked straight

01:26:08at

01:26:08keeper

01:26:09roofs

01:26:09we are

01:26:12frustrated

01:26:12definitely

01:26:13but

01:26:14we have to

01:26:15understand

01:26:16that

01:26:16Sunderland

01:26:18they were a

01:26:18good side

01:26:18today

01:26:19they played

01:26:20well

01:26:20they did

01:26:20the basic

01:26:21things

01:26:21right

01:26:21so

01:26:22we have

01:26:23to

01:26:23realise

01:26:25that there

01:26:26are big

01:26:26opportunities

01:26:27we miss

01:26:28if we only

01:26:28play for

01:26:29phases of

01:26:30the game

01:26:30good

01:26:30and that's

01:26:31something

01:26:31where we

01:26:32have to

01:26:32take

01:26:32responsibility

01:26:32I think

01:26:33we played

01:26:33well

01:26:34probably

01:26:3565-70

01:26:36minutes

01:26:36with the

01:26:37opportunity

01:26:37to score

01:26:38we didn't

01:26:39I think

01:26:40it's always

01:26:40important

01:26:41when you

01:26:41go away

01:26:41especially

01:26:42against a

01:26:43strong side

01:26:43to seize

01:26:45those

01:26:46opportunities

01:26:46it wasn't

01:26:46the case

01:26:47after that

01:26:48Brighton

01:26:48pushed

01:26:49which I

01:26:49think is

01:26:50normal

01:26:50and we

01:26:51were a bit

01:26:51on the

01:26:51edge

01:26:51but still

01:26:52a good

01:26:52point

01:26:53a good

01:26:54point

01:26:54at Brighton

01:26:55they're

01:26:55sixth in the

01:26:56table

01:26:56heading into

01:26:57Christmas

01:26:58a newly

01:26:58promoted

01:26:59side

01:26:59how impressive

01:27:00have they been

01:27:00brilliant

01:27:01as far as

01:27:02a great

01:27:02point

01:27:02Brighton's

01:27:03a tough

01:27:03place to

01:27:04go

01:27:04we highlighted

01:27:05these two

01:27:05at the

01:27:05back

01:27:06I think

01:27:06they were

01:27:06absolutely

01:27:06brilliant

01:27:07today

01:27:07you need

01:27:07strong

01:27:08defensive

01:27:08unit away

01:27:09from home

01:27:09and Ballard

01:27:10and Alderetti

01:27:11today were

01:27:11absolutely

01:27:12immense

01:27:12they really

01:27:12will

01:27:12everything

01:27:13that Brighton

01:27:14threw at

01:27:14them

01:27:14you see

01:27:15Ballard

01:27:16scanning

01:27:16heading

01:27:17balls

01:27:17away

01:27:19I think

01:27:19these two

01:27:19have played

01:27:19together

01:27:20the last

01:27:20five

01:27:20games

01:27:20together

01:27:21Kelly

01:27:21and it

01:27:22feels

01:27:22like

01:27:22they're

01:27:22building up

01:27:23a strong

01:27:23understanding

01:27:24you see

01:27:25here Ballard

01:27:25back on

01:27:25the line

01:27:26going to

01:27:31way they've

01:27:31circled them

01:27:31together

01:27:37brilliant in there

01:27:37he goes and

01:27:38tackes

01:27:38he's absolutely

01:27:40brilliant in that

01:27:40position

01:27:41it is the season

01:27:43but again

01:27:45you know

01:27:46obviously

01:27:47we're two

01:27:47goalkeepers

01:27:48goalkeeper

01:27:49two defenders

01:27:50you want to

01:27:50hit things

01:27:51clear things

01:27:51block things
