00:00:01Oh, look at that!

00:00:03Absolutely phenomenal!

00:00:05Rudy!

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

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

00:00:55Six games from a brizzy Premier League Sunday,

00:00:58as well as December's Goal of the Month and all the goals from yesterday.

00:01:01And joining me, Shea Given,

00:01:03and making his Match of the Day debut, Gary O'Neill,

00:01:05who scored twice on his Premier League debut,

00:01:07so we are hoping for a similar performance tonight.

00:01:09Yeah, it went all downhill from there, but it was a good start.

00:01:12No pressure, no pressure.

00:01:13A win for Arsenal yesterday opened up a seven-point lead at the top of the table.

00:01:17Manchester City were looking to reduce that gap against managerless Chelsea,

00:01:21who parted company with Enzo Mareska on New Year's Day.

00:01:24Steve Wilson was at the Etihad.

00:01:28In his long managerial career in three countries,

00:01:31Pep Guardiola has never gone successive seasons without winning a league title.

00:01:36That record is under threat.

00:01:38They sit seven points behind Arsenal.

00:01:40It's eight seasons since Chelsea were champions,

00:01:43in which time they've had six full-time managers.

00:01:46Another is incoming.

00:01:48City make three changes to the XI, which drew at Sunderland on New Year's Day.

00:01:53In come Guardiola, Rodri and Reinders for Ake, Nico Gonzalez and Savinho.

00:01:59Callum McFarlane's time in charge of Chelsea will be short,

00:02:03but he makes five changes to the draw with Bournemouth.

00:02:06Caicedo is suspended again.

00:02:08Sanchez injured.

00:02:09Fofana ill.

00:02:10In come Jürgensen.

00:02:11Badia Shield.

00:02:12James.

00:02:13Pedro Neto.

00:02:14Andrao Pedro.

00:02:17Chelsea have lost eight of their last ten games in this stadium,

00:02:21in all competitions.

00:02:23And I don't think many people would favour them here today.

00:02:28Estevão for Chelsea finds Enzo Fernandes.

00:02:31Pedro Neto is on.

00:02:33Here he is.

00:02:37Mathias Nunez ahead of him.

00:02:39Good ball in that, and a chance for Estevão.

00:02:42It's blocked really well by Guardiola.

00:02:46That's the best chance of the game so far, and it goes Chelsea's way.

00:02:50And now Manchester City have the situation under control,

00:02:54and that's a great ball from Mathias Nunez.

00:02:57What a pass that is.

00:02:58Erling Haaland arriving.

00:03:00Phil Foden arriving.

00:03:01Here's Foden.

00:03:03Brilliantly done!

00:03:07Well, this would have been a sensational counter-attacking goal.

00:03:10Great awareness by Foden.

00:03:15Well, they've done really well, Chelsea.

00:03:16They've defended sturdily.

00:03:23Bernardo Silva trying to twist Gusto.

00:03:27And he's succeeded in doing so, and he gets the shot away.

00:03:32Well, great work in a very small area from Bernardo Silva.

00:03:37Manages to work that bit of space quite beautifully.

00:03:41Gets a bit of curl, but not enough dip.

00:03:43Not enough dip.

00:03:50Cherokee's header.

00:03:51Rodri.

00:03:52Foden.

00:03:53Haaland.

00:03:55Deflected!

00:03:56And really well saved by Jürgensen.

00:03:58That big deflection could well have looped over the top of the Chelsea keeper, but he's adjusted here to make a very good save.

00:04:08Philip Jürgensen.

00:04:09Heavy toucher match in Pong, but Rhys James is there.

00:04:24He's only held it up.

00:04:25Rodri.

00:04:26And Erling Haaland!

00:04:28Oh!

00:04:29Goodness me!

00:04:30You don't get any closer than that.

00:04:34Chelsea get a throw in.

00:04:38Chelsea get a throw in.

00:04:42And the post gets a rattling from Haaland.

00:04:46Oh, brilliant really.

00:04:48Very unlucky.

00:04:50His next goal will be his 150th for the club.

00:04:54It won't be long in coming, that's for sure.

00:04:56Chelsea have given the ball away.

00:05:06And Cherokee exchanges the touch with Rodri.

00:05:11Badia Shields touch.

00:05:14Reinders!

00:05:19Great finish.

00:05:22That is a pretty devastating finish from Tijani Reinders.

00:05:27And Manchester City break the deadlock.

00:05:30With four minutes of the first half remaining.

00:05:33Well, this really is a splendid goal.

00:05:36Haaland the threat.

00:05:37Badia Shields kept it from him, but played it straight into Reinders.

00:05:42A little flick off the Chelsea defender as it goes in.

00:05:47Reinders hits it beautifully.

00:05:50Might just be a touch off the toe of Badia Shield.

00:05:53But it flew into the roof of the net.

00:05:56And Manchester City lead by a goal to nil.

00:06:02O'Reilly's cushioned header down.

00:06:04Gusto's nicked it away from Rodri.

00:06:06Well won back by Guardiol.

00:06:08Now Rodri.

00:06:09And Cole Palmer.

00:06:11Guardiol is down.

00:06:12Enzo Fernandes to Palmer's left.

00:06:13And he plays him in.

00:06:14Enzo Fernandes.

00:06:15Lovely little pirouette.

00:06:16And Pedro Neto has missed it.

00:06:17With the goal gaping.

00:06:18And it really should be one each.

00:06:19Well, Guardiol was on the ground throughout that whole Chelsea attack.

00:06:24Which should have resulted in an equalising goal.

00:06:27Enzo Fernandes did well here.

00:06:28Enzo Fernandes did well here.

00:06:29And Pedro Neto simply has to get that on target.

00:06:34Enzo Fernandes got a boot in.

00:06:35But Bernardo Silva would not be denied.

00:06:36Erling Haaland here.

00:06:37Great pace.

00:06:38Tearing away from Canova.

00:06:39Brilliant run, Gablock.

00:06:40What just does it result in an equalising goal.

00:06:41Enzo Fernandes did well here.

00:06:42And Pedro Neto simply has to get that on target.

00:06:54Enzo Fernandes got a boot in.

00:06:57But Bernardo Silva would not be denied.

00:06:59Erling Haaland here.

00:07:00Great pace.

00:07:01Tearing away from Canova.

00:07:04Brilliant run, Gablon!

00:07:09Harland still

00:07:16O'Reilly has failed to keep the ball in play

00:07:20I'll talk about explosive here Erling Harland

00:07:23Collecting the ball a couple of meters inside his own half and just driving on with enormous threat

00:07:31Good block by Badia Shield

00:07:33Gianluigi Donnarumma forward to Erling Harland beautifully cushioned

00:07:40Cherki has got the pace to get away from Santos

00:07:43Bernardo Silva's there brilliant recovery from Harto

00:07:47Well that's outstanding

00:07:50Great flick here from Erling Harland good pace by Cherki too much for Andre Santos look how much ground Jor-El Harto made up

00:08:03Dilap and Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandes getting forward

00:08:11Here's Jor-El Harto

00:08:19And Dilap good turn tight angled Donnarumma save

00:08:23And those nagging doubts about these three points from Manchester City continue

00:08:30Chelsea have arguably been the more dangerous side in the second half

00:08:35Well snubbered by the Italian

00:08:41Certainly some anxiety around the Etihad right now as Enzo Fernandes

00:08:45Finds Pedro Neto

00:08:50And Jor-El Harto

00:08:52Harto's cross missed by Cole Palmer

00:08:55And Dilap couldn't get anything really meaningful on it

00:09:01That was a real opportunity for Cole Palmer

00:09:05Chelsea have taken only two points from their last eight league games against Manchester City

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

00:09:13Rhys James six minutes were indicated three of them have been played

00:09:16Here's Gusto

00:09:18Oh excellent got away from O'Reilly there's four in the middle for Chelsea

00:09:22Gusto

00:09:22Dilap couldn't get there surely from Enzo Fernandes for Chelsea

00:09:28It's 1-1 in stoppage time

00:09:31And you cannot say they don't deserve it

00:09:33Donnarumma is beaten

00:09:37Fernandes scores

00:09:39Chelsea and Arsenal celebrate an Enzo Fernandes equaliser

00:09:47There is a check of course possible offside

00:09:52Enzo Fernandes at the second attempt

00:09:56prodded it into the back of the net

00:09:59And the goal will stand

00:10:01It's Manchester City 1-1 Chelsea 1-1

00:10:08Pep very frustrating finish to the game

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

00:10:14Because first half

00:10:16You were 1-0 up it could have been more

00:10:17The control go away for what?

00:10:19Well, I felt you were completely in control of the game at half-time

00:10:24And they changed shape a little bit and the momentum of the game changed a bit

00:10:28I'm not agreeing but it's okay, they scored a goal and that's why you analyze the results

00:10:33So of course they make a step up, we make them more intense in the pressing

00:10:37They had the chances because we lost two balls in the beginning of the second half

00:10:41But if you believe they achieved the momentum, okay, you maybe know better than me

00:10:47We started really well, especially the first half

00:10:49The second half it was a bit more open and went more up and down

00:10:52And still we created some big opportunities and yeah

00:10:56Disappointed that we conceded the goal so late

00:11:00So we will know the week we've had

00:11:02But the boys were focused and yeah in life

00:11:04You either drop your heads or you keep going

00:11:07And for us we knew what the game plan was today

00:11:11We knew what we wanted and yeah, we've done well to get the point

00:11:13It's credit to the players

00:11:16Imagine what they're feeling at half-time

00:11:18Manchester City with a much better team in the first half

00:11:20Interim coach, all the change that's gone on, all the injuries we've had

00:11:23But the character they've shown

00:11:25And they've shown it all week

00:11:26Like Rhys, Enzo, Tosin

00:11:28Like the leaders in the group have really pulled it together

00:11:31So it's a special, special group of players

00:11:33A frustrated Pep Guardiola there because City have dropped four points in their last two matches

00:11:39But Callum McFarlane there had a game plan to frustrate them

00:11:42And it worked largely in the first half

00:11:44Yeah, a rookie manager, you know, one chance in a lifetime to manage against Pep Guardiola

00:11:47Perhaps away at the edge, he had nothing to lose

00:11:49But he had a game plan, he definitely had

00:11:51And City couldn't find a way through

00:11:53They did eventually with rounders

00:11:54But at the same time, this was the game plan here

00:11:56We've seen this for most of the first half

00:11:58You see a 5-4-1 formation, Gabby

00:12:00And now you're asking City, are they good enough to play through these lines

00:12:04Play through the first, they're really nice and compact

00:12:06And you know Callum McFarlane would have worked on this

00:12:08You know, leading up to the game, it's a big day for him

00:12:10But again, there's a lot of turmoil, he says at the football club

00:12:12But there's a clear message, you see the 5 again

00:12:14This time, Rounders

00:12:16Rounders receives the ball

00:12:18Achimpong jumps out

00:12:19But you see then, this opportunity, they do get in

00:12:22But again, they've got enough players back in a defensive position

00:12:24To clear the danger

00:12:26You see in the middle, we'll see Haaland

00:12:27You know, 2v1, there's plenty of bodies back

00:12:29Enough to defend the cross

00:12:31And again, they look comfortable for long periods of the first half

00:12:34Defending against a Manchester City

00:12:36Who we know how good they are going forward

00:12:38I said to Gary Offer, I said

00:12:39At some stage, you'll have to feel a punch when you go to Manchester

00:12:42You see here, they commit six bodies forward, Gabby

00:12:44That's great if you can get a shot off or get a goal

00:12:47But what it does do, if you won the tackle

00:12:49Which they do in the edge of the box

00:12:50Now you're buying in trouble

00:12:51They do get away with it because they won the tackle high up the pitch

00:12:54And you think they've escaped the danger

00:12:56But they never got back into that 5-4-1 formation

00:12:59That we spoke about just previously

00:13:00And City, again, we know how decisive they are in the forward positions

00:13:04They move the ball really quickly, get forward

00:13:06And again, there's a bit of luck at the end of this

00:13:08Because it comes off the defender

00:13:09You see a 4v4 high up the pitch

00:13:11They're really stretched now at this point, Chelsea

00:13:13But they nearly get away

00:13:14A bit of luck, a bit of break

00:13:16And I think Reinders, on your left foot

00:13:18You know, it's a brilliant finish from him because he's right-footed

00:13:20And it's a fantastic finish

00:13:21But again, defensively, I think Chelsea were really strong today in that first half

00:13:26Pep might have alluded to that

00:13:27He didn't think there was a momentum shift

00:13:28But we certainly think there was

00:13:30Because 1-0 down at half-time

00:13:32McFarlane wasn't afraid to make tactical changes

00:13:34No, I think fair play to him

00:13:35Because the easiest part of a manager's job is when you've got time

00:13:38So when you've got the week to build your prep

00:13:40Like the bit that Shea's just covered there

00:13:42You've got days to work on that on the training ground

00:13:44But when it's match day and it's half-time

00:13:46When you're 1-0 down and you need to make a call

00:13:47He didn't back out of making that call

00:13:49You know, to take Esteval off

00:13:51To shift the shape

00:13:53You can see it here

00:13:54They've moved Gusto back into his high right-back position

00:13:56Rather than being on the left

00:13:57Esteval has been withdrawn

00:14:00They've put Santos on to play in that double pivot

00:14:02And it's allowed Enzo to play higher up the pitch

00:14:04And then he used that freedom, Enzo

00:14:06To cause Man City real problems

00:14:08You see here, they regain the ball

00:14:09Cole Palmer rolled in off this right-hand side

00:14:12Like he did so well against PSG in the Club World Cup

00:14:14And now Enzo just using that running power

00:14:17You know, and he's able to break forward

00:14:19And show great quality

00:14:20And then Neto will be disappointed with that

00:14:22Because I know he's better than that from those areas

00:14:24And then the introduction of Liam De Lapp as well

00:14:26Had a real impact on the game

00:14:28Caused the centre-backs of Manchester City problems

00:14:30You see Enzo again here with that running power

00:14:32Driving the team forward

00:14:34Wouldn't have been able to do that in the first half

00:14:36From the lower position he was in

00:14:37Bit of a longer clip

00:14:38But they managed to sustain the pressure

00:14:40Get Enzo on the ball again in a high position

00:14:43And a great ball into Liam De Lapp

00:14:44And he did cause the centre-backs problems

00:14:46When he came on Liam

00:14:47Although Manchester City did lose their two

00:14:49In Guardiola and Diaz

00:14:52They did cause the two that came on real problems

00:14:55And then Gusto, high right-back

00:14:57He's much better on that side than he is on the left

00:14:5994th minute, Enzo still using his power

00:15:02And his running power to get himself

00:15:04In a position that allows Chelsea

00:15:06To take a well-earned point away from the Etihad

00:15:09Which is no mean feat for an interim manager

00:15:11On his first day in charge

00:15:12Yeah, his sixth goal of the season

00:15:14Look what it means to him there

00:15:15And there were some lovely scenes at the end as well

00:15:16We saw with Rhys James obviously

00:15:18Making him go over to the Chelsea fans

00:15:20And you can see as a manager

00:15:21That must be enormously gratifying

00:15:23When you see the difference your changes have made

00:15:25Yeah, and that should not be underestimated

00:15:27Because that's difficult

00:15:28He alluded to it in his post-match speech there

00:15:31Around how the players would be feeling

00:15:33You know, you've been completely dominated by Manchester City

00:15:35You just do that to teams

00:15:36And then to be able to make a change

00:15:39And be able to make the players believe in that change

00:15:41And then to produce numbers like that

00:15:42XG, shots, everything up

00:15:45Touches in the opposition box

00:15:46So Pep might not have felt the momentum change quite so much

00:15:50But the stats definitely showed that there was one

00:15:52Yeah, it might be a short tenure as interim manager

00:15:54Because reports are and we understand that

00:15:57Liam Rossini is already in London

00:15:59Ready to be announced as Chelsea manager

00:16:00Tomorrow the Strasbourg manager

00:16:02Currently where he's been managing and doing fairly well

00:16:06Shea as well

00:16:07153 matches in his managerial career today

00:16:10Including Hull

00:16:11So not the most experienced

00:16:12No, but I think this is Liam's dream

00:16:15I think all his life is that he's managed at the very highest level

00:16:17And at Chelsea is one of the biggest jobs you'll get in the Premier League

00:16:21And maybe in world football

00:16:22And I think he's ready

00:16:23He's managed 153 games

00:16:24He's done his apprenticeship

00:16:26And he's ready to go

00:16:27He managed a young Strasbourg team as well

00:16:29Got them into European competition

00:16:31And I think he'll be buzzing

00:16:34You talk about the squad of players that Chelsea have

00:16:36I know they've spent a lot of money

00:16:38But they've spent well

00:16:38He's worked with young players at Strasbourg before

00:16:41And I think he's eager to jump into this position

00:16:43The group own Strasbourg and Chelsea

00:16:45They know how he works

00:16:46They like the way he sets his team up there

00:16:48He knows how they work

00:16:49That's important

00:16:50Yeah, it will be important

00:16:51And that will be a key part to him taking the role

00:16:53I think

00:16:53And he's, you know

00:16:54The Premier League's tough

00:16:55And he'll find that out

00:16:57But it's much easier doing it with Chelsea

00:16:59And the top players that you have available to you

00:17:00There may be an introduction to the Premier League

00:17:02For a promotion with a newly promoted side

00:17:04So he's going to get a fantastic opportunity

00:17:06At a top club

00:17:07And obviously we'll see very soon

00:17:09Whether he's ready to grasp it

00:17:11Thank you

00:17:12Five more games to come from Sunday

00:17:14After December's Goal of the Month

00:17:15It's Cherokee again

00:17:26Pass comes here to Diaz

00:17:28He's slammed it

00:17:29Oh, what a goal

00:17:30What a strike

00:17:33That was Vincent Kompany-esque

00:17:36Well, it was a belter

00:17:38Wins, wins

00:17:40Wins, wins

00:17:42Can you feel

00:17:43Can you feel

00:17:45Can you feel

00:17:47Wilson

00:17:49Oh, what a goal

00:17:51The link-up play is absolutely sumptuous here

00:17:59It is perfection

00:18:01A bit of space here for Morgan Rodgers

00:18:11Might have a go

00:18:11A goal

00:18:12And it's a brilliant strike as well

00:18:14Rodgers in a lot of space

00:18:20And how about that for a finish

00:18:22It's Senghori who...

00:18:34Oh, what a hit from Senghori

00:18:38What a strike

00:18:42Well, that's an absolute belter

00:18:44Always looks good, doesn't it

00:18:45When he comes in off the post

00:18:47Pre-kick

00:18:52Which Chelsea hope will be a profitable one

00:18:55Rhys James

00:18:56Oh, it is

00:18:57It's outstanding from Rhys James

00:19:00Because that was inch-perfect

00:19:05Can you feel

00:19:07It's falling in me

00:19:09When he gives

00:19:11Given the ball in a

00:19:13Precarious position

00:19:15But he's kept hold of it

00:19:16And Morgan Rodgers has kept it in

00:19:19Head down

00:19:21It's Rodgers

00:19:22It's an absolute ripper

00:19:27He should never score from there

00:19:30From that position

00:19:31Rodgers in red-hot form

00:19:33Dallon with the long throw

00:19:40Voltamada's head

00:19:42Dorgue

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

00:19:53Where ever you feel

00:19:57Can you feel it

00:19:59Can you feel it like this morning

00:20:02Impressing

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

00:20:08Stack

00:20:11Super ball from him

00:20:13Out to Aronson

00:20:13At this forward here leads

00:20:18Aronson

00:20:18Calvert-Lewin

00:20:19Calvert-Lewin

00:20:19It's a fabulous team goal

00:20:53Having won three of their last four

00:20:56Fulham faced a Liverpool side unbeaten in seven in the Premier League

00:21:00Stephen Wyeth watched this one

00:21:01As the temperature has plummeted

00:21:05Fulham and Liverpool have stayed hot

00:21:08Two form sides

00:21:09The hosts endeavour to keep it up with three changes

00:21:12Kenny Tete is injured

00:21:14So Timothy Castagne replaces him

00:21:16Issa Diop returns

00:21:18And Tom Cairney's reward for the equaliser at Palace

00:21:21Is a rare league start

00:21:22Liverpool's form is their best since spring

00:21:25But they too are stretched

00:21:27A minor hamstring issue means no Ugo Eketike

00:21:30Cody Gagpo starts instead

00:21:32Alexis McAllister and Milos Kerkis

00:21:35Replace Jeremy Fringpong and Andy Robertson

00:21:38Underway a bit behind schedule today at Craven Cottage

00:21:44A 15-minute delay due to a medical emergency

00:21:48Not necessarily a fixture you would associate with Premier League heritage

00:21:52But Fulham against Liverpool in recent times has been a blast

00:21:57Curtis Jones

00:22:00Gagpo's made his run

00:22:03And the flag has stayed down

00:22:04Cody Gagpo is in

00:22:05And the shot has only just bobbled wide

00:22:10And it's the kind of chance that really should have at least resulted

00:22:16In a testing of the Fulham goalkeeper

00:22:18Bernd Leno could watch it go harmlessly white

00:22:21Along the slot side

00:22:24On their best run of unbeaten form

00:22:27Since their last visit to Craven Cottage

00:22:30When Fulham ended a 26-match run unbeaten

00:22:35With a 3-2 win

00:22:37Oh lovely flip Raul Jimenez

00:22:40Wilson is in here

00:22:42And has fired in but from an offside position

00:22:47Well Fulham have really bided their time before

00:22:51Looking to pounce on Liverpool

00:22:53And it very nearly happened for them perfectly

00:22:56Raul Jimenez towards Wilson now

00:22:59That is going to require a much much closer inspection

00:23:04On-field decision was offside

00:23:07But now the VAR Andy Madley is going to get involved

00:23:12Because

00:23:13Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkhez

00:23:16Both look like they might have been playing Wilson onside

00:23:20And Fulham are about to receive some very good news

00:23:25Some very welcome news

00:23:27Because the on-field decision was wrong

00:23:30And Fulham do lead

00:23:32Courtesy of a former Liverpool player

00:23:36Harry Wilson in sparkling recent form in front of goal

00:23:41Has scored again

00:23:42Well for a moment it looked like it was too good to be true

00:23:46When Wilson was bearing down on goal

00:23:48That was certainly the initial verdict of the referee's assistant

00:23:54But confirmation

00:23:55Virgil van Dijk the one that was playing him on

00:23:58And that splendid finish

00:24:01Beyond the reach of Alisson is the goal to make it

00:24:04Fulham 1 Liverpool 0

00:24:06Since the start of November

00:24:09Only the top three in the Premier League have picked up more points than Fulham

00:24:14Fulham remains an option

00:24:20Fulham remain well organised

00:24:24From Xobajlai

00:24:29Charged down by Smithrow

00:24:31Corner kick

00:24:32Xobajlai

00:24:39And headed against the crossbar

00:24:42Anderson there

00:24:43Now appeals for a penalty

00:24:46Fulham survive

00:24:47McAllister head in hands

00:24:51Knows how close he was to levelling things up

00:24:54Bradley

00:25:03Pouncing on a loose ball

00:25:05And driving at Fulham

00:25:06And finding Florian Nets

00:25:08And once again

00:25:11The ball finds the back of the net

00:25:15Liverpool discover that

00:25:17It was from an offside position

00:25:19Florian Wertz this time

00:25:20The unlucky player in red

00:25:22Connor Bradley did tremendously well

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

00:25:28But Wertz

00:25:29Was just beyond Issa Diop

00:25:31This is just being cleared up

00:25:34Just in case

00:25:36Diop's trailing leg was beyond

00:25:39The outstretched right boot of Florian Wertz

00:25:42At the critical moment

00:25:43Once again

00:25:47The on-field decision is going to be overturned

00:25:50And Liverpool have an equaliser

00:25:52And Florian Wertz has another Liverpool goal

00:25:56It has been delivered at a critical moment

00:25:59It has been delivered at a critical moment

00:26:00Belated jubilation in the away end

00:26:03It's a muted celebration from Liverpool

00:26:05Who know there is still work to be done

00:26:07Issa Diop adjudged to have just been playing

00:26:11Florian Wertz on side

00:26:14And just as in the first half of Fulham

00:26:17Liverpool's goal has taken some unpicking

00:26:20But the decision is to award it

00:26:23And it's Fulham 1, Liverpool 1

00:26:25We'll want more than a point now

00:26:30So dominant have his side been in this second half

00:26:34Bradley

00:26:37Robinson

00:26:41Super pass

00:26:44Val Jimenez

00:26:45Looks to be in

00:26:47Alisson has come

00:26:48Not dealt with it

00:26:49Wilson

00:26:49Off the bar

00:26:51Who'll get there first

00:26:53Virgil van Dijk

00:26:54So close Fulham to regaining the leap

00:26:58The direct approach

00:27:00Nearly working so effectively

00:27:03Harry Wilson looking to add to his first half goal

00:27:06Denied by the crossbar

00:27:07And van Dijk it was

00:27:10Who made sure that he got to the loose ball

00:27:13The unbeaten runs have taken Liverpool into the top four

00:27:17And Fulham into European contention themselves

00:27:20Each of the two

00:27:21Has the greater desire

00:27:23And the quality

00:27:24To turn

00:27:26A draw into three points

00:27:29Time running out

00:27:31But there is still time

00:27:33Kravenday

00:27:35Anna Bradley

00:27:39For Frimpong

00:27:41Quality cross required

00:27:42And that is a quality cross

00:27:45Which looks to have produced a match winning moment for Cody Gapbo

00:27:51Liverpool lead

00:27:56Having been behind

00:27:58And in stoppage time

00:28:00At Craven Cottage

00:28:01Appeared to have got the job done

00:28:03The man asked to fulfil the role

00:28:06Of centre forward today

00:28:07Has responded with a goal

00:28:09At a critical moment

00:28:11A vicious delivery

00:28:13That Gapbo was alert to

00:28:16Showing the instincts required

00:28:19To step forward

00:28:22Late on in the game

00:28:23And score for Liverpool

00:28:26A goal

00:28:26That looks to have secured for them

00:28:29A fifth win in eight

00:28:30Having scored

00:28:34And having been cautioned as a consequence

00:28:37Cody Gapbo is going to be withdrawn

00:28:40But he can leave

00:28:42With the acclaim

00:28:43Of the travelling support

00:28:44They feel as though

00:28:46It's job done

00:28:47Robinson's throw

00:28:54To Kevin

00:28:55And then will field defeat

00:28:59Is harsh on them

00:29:00Harrison Reid

00:29:00From distance

00:29:01An exceptional goal

00:29:06From the most unlikely source

00:29:09A how

00:29:11And well

00:29:12Moment

00:29:12From Harrison Reid

00:29:13Just as the points

00:29:15Look gone

00:29:16For Fulham

00:29:17They have responded

00:29:19Almost immediately

00:29:21In the groove

00:29:22Fulham

00:29:23They simply don't know

00:29:24At the moment

00:29:24When they are beaten

00:29:25Sent on

00:29:27To provide

00:29:29Some midfield

00:29:29Energy

00:29:30Late in the game

00:29:31And instead

00:29:32It is Harrison Reid

00:29:34Who has scored

00:29:35The most improbable

00:29:37Late equaliser

00:29:38A near perfect strike

00:29:41Better than anything

00:29:42He could possibly

00:29:43Have dreamed of delivering

00:29:44An exceptional goal

00:29:46To make it

00:29:48Fulham 2

00:29:49Liverpool 2

00:29:50Have you ever hit a ball

00:29:53Better than that?

00:29:54It fell nice off the foot

00:29:55And then it was just

00:29:56Praying it went in the top corner

00:29:57To see it dip in

00:29:58Obviously circumstances as well

00:30:00What an amazing feeling

00:30:01I will tell you

00:30:03I've been practising

00:30:04And training

00:30:04The boys know it

00:30:05They've seen it as well

00:30:06So I just had to get my chance

00:30:08He says he's been practising

00:30:09Is that what you sent him on to do?

00:30:11It's not the first time

00:30:12That you see it

00:30:13To be honest

00:30:13Yesterday of course

00:30:14Is a moment that

00:30:15They use in the end of

00:30:17The minus one session

00:30:18To do it something

00:30:19Of course if you ask me

00:30:21Of course I didn't put him

00:30:22Thinking that he's going to score

00:30:23That goal

00:30:23But of course

00:30:24That is poor inspiration

00:30:25From him

00:30:26And he deserves all the credits

00:30:27I think we fought very hard

00:30:29In the second half

00:30:29We were dominating

00:30:31At moments

00:30:31Trying to create chances

00:30:33To go through

00:30:34And at the end

00:30:36I scored I think

00:30:3790 plus 5

00:30:38The moment I sat down

00:30:40On the bench

00:30:40They scored

00:30:41Wonderful goal

00:30:42To be fair

00:30:42We were 2-1 up

00:30:43And having to defend

00:30:45A long throw in

00:30:46Which we expected

00:30:47And we brought Joe Gomez in

00:30:50Because he's of course

00:30:51He's very good for the air

00:30:52But they didn't take it long

00:30:55They took it short

00:30:56And it was an incredible strike

00:30:58The boys should deserve

00:31:00To get a reward

00:31:01Once in a while

00:31:02But unfortunately

00:31:03We don't get it

00:31:04And the only ones to blame

00:31:06Is ourselves as well

00:31:06Because we concede

00:31:08In these moments

00:31:09But fighting so hard

00:31:11To be 2-1 up

00:31:12It's unbelievable

00:31:14That every time

00:31:15Then the ball goes in

00:31:15In the end

00:31:16But it was

00:31:18A truly magnificent goal

00:31:20Harrison Reid coming in

00:31:21With the heroics

00:31:22Of Harrison Ford

00:31:23With that goal

00:31:24At 92 minutes

00:31:25He comes on the pitch

00:31:2696 minutes

00:31:27I think you just need

00:31:27To wax lyrical

00:31:28I don't think

00:31:29Marco Silva brought him

00:31:30Off the bench

00:31:31For this

00:31:31Probably just to maybe

00:31:32Sew it up

00:31:32Or to try and give it

00:31:33A bit of balance

00:31:34In midfield

00:31:34If Liverpool break away

00:31:36But they set up

00:31:37For a long throw

00:31:37But Reid comes into the picture

00:31:39I mean

00:31:39You know you let the pictures

00:31:41Do this justice

00:31:42This is just a phenomenal strike

00:31:43It's quite funny

00:31:44Harrison said

00:31:45After that

00:31:45I've practised this

00:31:46In training

00:31:46But again

00:31:47That just roider over stuff

00:31:48It really is

00:31:49To get that much dip

00:31:50In movement

00:31:51And Swaz

00:31:51Allison's got absolutely

00:31:52No chance at all

00:31:53And see if it just pops up

00:31:54As he hits it there

00:31:55This is an unbelievable strike

00:31:57I mean Gary

00:31:58You maybe weren't overly happy

00:31:59With the Liverpool defending

00:32:00Yeah and I understand

00:32:02They're set up for a long throw

00:32:03But as soon as Fulham

00:32:04Don't throw it long

00:32:05You have to react

00:32:06To this 4v2

00:32:07You know some of them

00:32:08Liverpool players

00:32:09In the penalty area

00:32:09Need to get up

00:32:10And get some pressure

00:32:11On the ball

00:32:11You can't leave that 4v2

00:32:13For that long

00:32:13And of course

00:32:14You don't expect

00:32:15To be punished like this

00:32:16But boy did Harrison

00:32:17Reid punish them

00:32:18A hell of a throw

00:32:19I'm not sure many of his

00:32:20Practices went

00:32:20Where that one went

00:32:21But the one that mattered

00:32:22Now there's no

00:32:24Alexander Isak

00:32:25We know for Liverpool

00:32:26For a few months

00:32:27Eketike out

00:32:28At the moment

00:32:28Could be back later this week

00:32:29For the Arsenal game

00:32:30On Thursday

00:32:31It's a short term injury

00:32:32So Cody Gakpo

00:32:33Playing in a more central role

00:32:35Today

00:32:35What did you make of his performance

00:32:36Yeah I didn't mind

00:32:37Actually you know

00:32:37I think Arnaslaw talked about

00:32:38Maybe in front of goal

00:32:40We struggled

00:32:40But I think Gakpo done well

00:32:41You keep an eye on him

00:32:43Here on the left hand side

00:32:44But he actually bends his run

00:32:45Here as a centre forward

00:32:46You want to do

00:32:47And he gets through on goal

00:32:48I mean it's just not a great finish

00:32:49At the end of that

00:32:50On his weaker left foot

00:32:51Of course we know him

00:32:51Cutting in on his right

00:32:52He's very strong

00:32:53But again look how central

00:32:54Of the goal

00:32:55And again this is a brilliant header

00:32:56Heads it back where it came from

00:32:57Just a little bit unlucky

00:32:58That it's come back off the woodwork

00:33:00But great movement from him

00:33:01And then again we show

00:33:02That he's involved in the goal

00:33:03I think latter parts of the stage

00:33:04He went out to the left side

00:33:05Kayser went up more central

00:33:06But he's not happy

00:33:06Just to be getting involved

00:33:07In the build up

00:33:08Gabby's thinking

00:33:09Right can we score a goal

00:33:10He makes himself 94-95 minutes

00:33:12Brilliant ball from Frimpong

00:33:13And where is he?

00:33:14Number 9

00:33:15In the middle of the 6 yard box

00:33:16Where you want him to be

00:33:17And he tucks it away nicely

00:33:18And again he thinks

00:33:19He's got the winning goal

00:33:20At this stage before

00:33:22Mr. Reid stepped up

00:33:23And stole the party off

00:33:24But I was happy

00:33:25With Gabby how he played

00:33:27It says he's played before

00:33:28There for PSV

00:33:29He's played there

00:33:29For the Netherlands as well

00:33:30So I think he knows the position

00:33:32OK there was a lot of noise

00:33:33Online about Florian versus goal

00:33:36Of course during the match

00:33:37It was checked for offside

00:33:39Yeah

00:33:39And to the naked eye

00:33:40There are angles

00:33:41Where it does look offside

00:33:42Now from a semi-automated

00:33:44Kind of opinion and position

00:33:46They're happy

00:33:47That with the tolerance

00:33:48That they have

00:33:49With the lines

00:33:50That it is onside

00:33:51Because the advantage

00:33:52When the lines touch

00:33:53Between the last player

00:33:55And the defender

00:33:56Is about 5 centimetres

00:33:58And it's given to the attacking player

00:33:59That kind of advantage

00:34:00Are you happy?

00:34:01All the best Gary

00:34:02Yeah Gabby's done quite well

00:34:03Explaining that there

00:34:04I've had my own battles

00:34:05With VAR

00:34:06And trying to guess

00:34:07As a manager

00:34:08Whether it's on or off

00:34:10But they did make

00:34:11The lines thicker

00:34:12Four years ago

00:34:13I think

00:34:13To try and give an advantage

00:34:14But I think all of us

00:34:16Would say

00:34:16That on the naked eye

00:34:18Florian Wurtz's foot

00:34:19Looks ahead

00:34:20Of Diop's there

00:34:21Florian Wurtz

00:34:22Looks like he's just

00:34:23Drifted into that

00:34:24Lighter cut of grass

00:34:25Whereas we would say

00:34:26Diop looks firmly

00:34:28Planted in the darker cut

00:34:29So you would say

00:34:30That this is probably

00:34:31Going to be disallowed

00:34:32For offside

00:34:33At this moment

00:34:34But when it then turns

00:34:35To the semi-automated view

00:34:37You can see

00:34:39It doesn't quite look the same

00:34:40And it looks like

00:34:41Florian Wurtz

00:34:42Has managed

00:34:42Just to stay

00:34:44The right side

00:34:45Of Diop

00:34:46And whether that tolerance

00:34:47We don't have the

00:34:48Privilege of seeing

00:34:49The lines here

00:34:50But whether that tolerance

00:34:51Of about 5 centimetres

00:34:52Has led to this goal

00:34:53Standing

00:34:54Is a possibility

00:34:55But

00:34:55Florian Wurtz

00:34:57Needs the goal

00:34:57To be fair to him

00:34:58Fulham won't be so pleased

00:34:59Of it

00:34:59But a big goal

00:35:00For Florian Wurtz

00:35:01Marco Silva's reaction

00:35:02Seemed quite measured

00:35:03Yeah I guess

00:35:05The Harrison Reid goal

00:35:06Probably takes the edge

00:35:07Off it

00:35:07A little bit for him

00:35:08And I think

00:35:09As managers and coaches

00:35:11In the end

00:35:12You have to accept

00:35:12That the technology

00:35:13Is there to do its job

00:35:14And we have to accept

00:35:15That at the moment

00:35:16It's doing the best job

00:35:18That it possibly can

00:35:18And it's being interpreted

00:35:19In the best way possible

00:35:20You mentioned

00:35:21That it's been a few years

00:35:21Now that that has

00:35:22Been the way they've been viewed

00:35:23And actually

00:35:24The Premier League

00:35:25Is the only major league

00:35:25Left in Europe

00:35:26That is doing that

00:35:27The others are still

00:35:27Kind of working

00:35:28Or are working

00:35:29To the toenail

00:35:30Yeah so a strong possibility

00:35:31That maybe would have been

00:35:32Disallowed in

00:35:33In some of the other

00:35:34Major leagues around Europe

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

00:35:36The technology has got

00:35:37That one right for us

00:35:38And cleared up

00:35:38A very tight decision

00:35:39You say cleared up

00:35:40I mean we're talking

00:35:41Yeah yeah

00:35:41Cleared up to the best

00:35:42We can

00:35:42Okay

00:35:43Next Leeds United

00:35:45And Manchester United

00:35:47Renew their War of the Roses

00:35:48As the Reds

00:35:49Cross the Pennines

00:35:50To play the Whites

00:35:51Of Yorkshire

00:35:51Your commentator

00:35:52Is Guy Mowbray

00:35:53After today

00:35:57Every team in the Premier League

00:35:58Will have faced

00:35:59All the others this season

00:36:00The opponents

00:36:01Leeds look for first

00:36:03Are the ones

00:36:04They've had to wait

00:36:05For longest

00:36:06There are two changes

00:36:08To the Leeds line up

00:36:09From their New Year's Day

00:36:09Draw at Liverpool

00:36:10With Dominic Calvert-Lewin

00:36:12And Noah Okafor

00:36:13Coming back in to start

00:36:14Lucas Metcher

00:36:16Is a substitute

00:36:16Captain Ethan Ampadu

00:36:18Ruled out suspended

00:36:19And Jadon Bogle

00:36:20Is out with a calf injury

00:36:22For the visiting United

00:36:23Only one difference

00:36:24To their team in names

00:36:26As Leni Jorow

00:36:27Replaces Joshua Zergzi

00:36:28He's on the bench

00:36:30Alongside five teenagers

00:36:32With a whole raft

00:36:33Of senior players

00:36:34Once again absent

00:36:35Leeds waiting to play

00:36:41Manchester United

00:36:42Pales away

00:36:43Compared with waiting

00:36:43To beat them

00:36:44They haven't done that

00:36:45In nine Premier League meetings

00:36:47And in seven overall

00:36:49Since Jermaine Beckford's

00:36:501-0 winner

00:36:51For then League One Leeds

00:36:53At Old Trafford

00:36:5416 years ago yesterday

00:36:56Lamans

00:36:58Nice easy stroke of the ball

00:37:00Offside flag is raised

00:37:03As Matthias Cunha

00:37:04Has a go

00:37:04And scores in fine style

00:37:06But it's not going to count

00:37:08And I'm pretty sure

00:37:13He was offside

00:37:14Maybe not Matthias Cunha

00:37:18But I'm pretty certain

00:37:21Czesco was

00:37:22And he went for the ball

00:37:23To try and help it on

00:37:24Whether he touched it or not

00:37:26Is largely irrelevant

00:37:2622 minutes in and Leeds United

00:37:33Pay tribute to Joshua Pick who

00:37:37Died suddenly

00:37:38Age 22 recently

00:37:40A lead season ticket holder

00:37:41From six years old

00:37:43His dad and sister are here at the game today

00:37:46And we wish them all well

00:37:48Justin

00:37:52Calvert-Lewin

00:37:54Shielding his eyes

00:37:54From the low sun

00:37:56Here's Strauch

00:37:56Stack

00:38:00Calvert-Lewin

00:38:02Off the post

00:38:04So close to scoring again

00:38:08He was inches away

00:38:10From being 1-0 Leeds

00:38:11Through their number nine

00:38:12Once more

00:38:13Just what a striker

00:38:15In Dominic Calvert-Lewin's form

00:38:17Would want

00:38:17Only needed just a little bit more

00:38:20Head on ball

00:38:21That clears Borna

00:38:26Cunha

00:38:27Shaw

00:38:29Two in the box

00:38:31For Cunha

00:38:31Dogu can't attack it though

00:38:33It's turned behind by Goodmanson

00:38:35And after a

00:38:37Spell of Leeds

00:38:38Being in the ascendancy

00:38:40It might be

00:38:40Manchester United's turn

00:38:41For a bit now

00:38:42Luke Shaw

00:38:45To take the corner

00:38:46It's a deep one

00:38:48And it's Casimiro

00:38:49And saved by Lucas Perry

00:38:51Brilliant reaction stop

00:38:53Casimiro

00:38:55On to

00:38:56Lenny Jorow

00:38:57Just trying to

00:38:57Divert it

00:38:58All he could do there

00:39:00Was get it goal bound

00:39:01He did that

00:39:02Lucas Perry in the right place

00:39:04A game that needs

00:39:08A creative spark

00:39:09A game that needs

00:39:11A player of

00:39:12Eddie Gray's abilities

00:39:13He made his Leeds United debut

00:39:1560 years ago

00:39:161st of January 1966

00:39:183-0 against Sheffield Wednesday

00:39:20He scored one

00:39:22And he made two

00:39:23Before assists were a thing

00:39:24What a player

00:39:26Stroke

00:39:28Heaven has a look

00:39:30Aronson is closing in

00:39:31And Aronson is there first

00:39:33And finishes

00:39:35And finishes

00:39:35Ellen Road has erupted

00:39:39Brendan Aronson's

00:39:46Non-stop running

00:39:47Has got reward

00:39:49Aidan Heaven

00:39:51Caught cold

00:39:52A moment for all

00:39:55Leeds young and old

00:39:56To absolutely love

00:39:57Aronson has not always

00:40:00Been flavour of the month

00:40:01Here

00:40:02Right now

00:40:04At this minute

00:40:04He's the toast of the town

00:40:06He wanted it

00:40:08Just that bit more

00:40:09But then he had to find

00:40:11The composure

00:40:12To put it in

00:40:12Brilliantly dispatched

00:40:15And it's Leeds United 1

00:40:16Manchester United 0

00:40:18And Manchester United

00:40:20Now feel the need

00:40:21To make a change

00:40:22Leni Jouro is off

00:40:23Joshua Zerksy comes on

00:40:25Well Aidan Heaven

00:40:27Has performed really well

00:40:28In these seven games

00:40:30Now in a row

00:40:30That he started

00:40:31But there was an aberration

00:40:33You can't switch off

00:40:35In the Premier League

00:40:36And in this fixture

00:40:37Of all fixtures

00:40:38You absolutely must be on it

00:40:41At every second

00:40:42Zerksy

00:40:44Looking for Cunha

00:40:46And Cunha has slid in

00:40:48And slotted it

00:40:49Past Lucas Perry

00:40:50It's 1-1

00:40:52Leeds turn

00:40:55To get it all wrong

00:40:56In defence

00:40:57This is one

00:40:59Of huge importance

00:41:00For Manchester United

00:41:02Czesco won it

00:41:04Laid it off to Zerksy

00:41:05He played a perfectly

00:41:07Weighted pass

00:41:08For Cunha

00:41:09And not for the first time

00:41:11Cunha found himself free

00:41:12And just like

00:41:14Aronson at the other end

00:41:15Well how good

00:41:16Was the finish

00:41:17The game

00:41:19Has been

00:41:20Plugged in

00:41:21From 0-0

00:41:22To 1-1

00:41:23In just under

00:41:26Three minutes

00:41:27Okafor on his way

00:41:33Calvert-Lewin in the middle

00:41:35But so is Heaven

00:41:36Behold got a help on to that

00:41:49Good try

00:41:49Good save

00:41:50Lehmann's forced to spring

00:41:53Into action

00:41:54After Okafor's

00:41:56Acrobatic attempt

00:41:57Great try

00:42:00So Alex Ferguson

00:42:04Was 84 on New Year's Eve

00:42:06He was never going to miss

00:42:08This one

00:42:08Dalot

00:42:11Bugate

00:42:15Zerksy

00:42:16Now Matthias Cunha

00:42:19Luke Shaw

00:42:19Is an extra centre forward

00:42:20In this move

00:42:21Here's Zerksy

00:42:22Zerksy across

00:42:24Czesco's effort

00:42:24Is wide

00:42:25He made good contact

00:42:28With the ball

00:42:28Just maybe hit it

00:42:30Too straight

00:42:31Planted firmly

00:42:33Wide of the post

00:42:34Big chance

00:42:36For Manchester United

00:42:36To take the lead

00:42:37Behold's header

00:42:41Goes straight to Cunha

00:42:42Czesco gets it

00:42:44Through the legs

00:42:44For Zerksy

00:42:45Now it's Dorgu

00:42:47Cunha wants it

00:42:48Cunha has the try

00:42:49And

00:42:50Oh was it saved

00:42:51Or just wide

00:42:52Look at the curl

00:42:56On that

00:42:56From Cunha

00:42:57So so close

00:43:00To

00:43:00Making it 2-1

00:43:01Manchester United

00:43:02It's Justin

00:43:05Who heads forward

00:43:05To Nyonto

00:43:06Lovely ball

00:43:10From Nyonto

00:43:10Here's Stack

00:43:11Piru to the right

00:43:13Stack finds him

00:43:14Piru

00:43:15Under the roof

00:43:17Made his mind up

00:43:20Before the ball

00:43:21Came to him

00:43:21That that's what

00:43:22He was going to

00:43:23Try to do

00:43:24Not far away

00:43:26At all

00:43:27And it is

00:43:29Full time

00:43:30At Elland Road

00:43:31Leeds draw

00:43:33For a third game

00:43:34In a row

00:43:35There's seven

00:43:36Unbeaten now

00:43:37But Manchester United

00:43:38Have only lost

00:43:40One of their

00:43:41Last eight

00:43:41They're much more

00:43:42Resilient away

00:43:43From home

00:43:43These days

00:43:44Leeds United won

00:43:46Manchester United won

00:43:47We are a bit

00:43:50Disappointed

00:43:50Because it was

00:43:51Possibly

00:43:51To win this game

00:43:52You could feel

00:43:53That we were

00:43:53A bit tired

00:43:54Today

00:43:55And also

00:43:56We're missing

00:43:56Many key players

00:43:57It was probably

00:43:58Football-wise

00:43:59Not our best

00:44:00Performance

00:44:00But we found

00:44:01Still a way

00:44:01To defend

00:44:02Really well

00:44:02And to go

00:44:03In lead

00:44:04And it was

00:44:04Definitely possible

00:44:05To win this game

00:44:06For that

00:44:06We are a bit

00:44:07Disappointed

00:44:07But on the other

00:44:08Hand

00:44:08It shows

00:44:09Also

00:44:09It says a lot

00:44:10That you are

00:44:11Disappointed

00:44:11With just one

00:44:12Point against

00:44:12Man United

00:44:13As a promoted

00:44:13Side

00:44:14An important

00:44:15Point for us

00:44:15We talked about

00:44:16This

00:44:16The resilience

00:44:17And then

00:44:18Everyone knows

00:44:19It's so important

00:44:20To the players

00:44:21Who miss

00:44:22Today

00:44:22But we have

00:44:24A big character

00:44:25On the team

00:44:25We need

00:44:25To use the shirt

00:44:27And show everything

00:44:27On the pitch

00:44:28And I think

00:44:29We did it

00:44:30And I hope

00:44:31We can do

00:44:31Much more

00:44:32The next game

00:44:32Yeah

00:44:33We're going to

00:44:33Take it

00:44:33With a ton of

00:44:34Confidence

00:44:35Because you know

00:44:35Where we've been

00:44:36The last month

00:44:37Of games that we've had

00:44:37Going to Liverpool

00:44:38Come back home

00:44:39You know

00:44:40Two away games

00:44:41In Sunderland too

00:44:42They're not easy

00:44:42Places to go to

00:44:43So to stay unbeaten

00:44:44And I think we could

00:44:45Even have more points

00:44:45From these games

00:44:46So we just need

00:44:47To keep going from here

00:44:48Well after the match

00:44:50Ruben Amarim

00:44:51Said this

00:44:51In his press conference

00:44:52I just want to say

00:44:54That I'm going to be

00:44:55The manager of this team

00:44:57Not just the coach

00:44:58And I was really

00:44:59Clear on that

00:45:01And that is going to

00:45:02Finish in 18 months

00:45:03And then

00:45:03Everyone is going

00:45:05To move on

00:45:07That was the deal

00:45:09That is my job

00:45:10Not to be a coach

00:45:12If people

00:45:13Cannot handle

00:45:14The Gary Nevels

00:45:15And the criticism

00:45:16Of everything

00:45:17We need to change

00:45:19The club

00:45:19I came here

00:45:21To be the manager

00:45:22Of Manchester United

00:45:23Not to be the coach

00:45:24And every department

00:45:25The scouting department

00:45:26The sport director

00:45:27Needs to do their job

00:45:28I will do mine

00:45:29For 18 months

00:45:30And then

00:45:30We move on

00:45:31The question he was

00:45:33Responding to

00:45:34Ruben Amarim

00:45:34Was about control

00:45:36At the club

00:45:36And that answer

00:45:37Clearly would

00:45:38Point to discord

00:45:39With regard to the

00:45:41Hierarchy

00:45:41At the club

00:45:42Yeah

00:45:42He's not happy

00:45:43It looks like

00:45:44There's a bit of a

00:45:45It feels like

00:45:46We don't know

00:45:46Obviously

00:45:46It feels like

00:45:47There's a bit of a

00:45:47Fallout between himself

00:45:48And of course

00:45:49Jason Walcox

00:45:50The director of football

00:45:51And he said

00:45:52In numerous cases

00:45:53Two or three times

00:45:53That he's the manager

00:45:54Not just the coach

00:45:56So what that tells me

00:45:57Is he's overseeing

00:45:58Players coming in

00:45:59He's overseeing

00:45:59Maybe players going out

00:46:00Who comes to the club

00:46:01Who doesn't

00:46:01Or he would like to

00:46:02He would like to

00:46:03But maybe that's not happened

00:46:04Maybe it's been

00:46:05Nowhere in January

00:46:06Now the promises

00:46:06Of maybe players coming in

00:46:08Maybe the goalposts

00:46:09Have changed

00:46:09And a lot of

00:46:10You know

00:46:10Gary may tell you

00:46:11But a lot of managers

00:46:11You know

00:46:12They are head coaches now

00:46:13And they've got

00:46:13Heads of heads

00:46:14Doing other things

00:46:15But you look at

00:46:16The great Sir Alex Ferguson

00:46:17He managed that football club

00:46:18Like no other

00:46:19I look at maybe

00:46:20Anunay Emery

00:46:21At Aston Villa

00:46:21It feels like he's

00:46:23Got the final say

00:46:24In everything that comes

00:46:24And goes in Aston Villa

00:46:25And look where they're at

00:46:26In the league

00:46:26And also I'd say

00:46:27If Man United won on

00:46:28Western Ed against Burnley

00:46:29They're up the fourth

00:46:30And if you look at their bench

00:46:31In the last couple of weeks

00:46:32He's got a bunch of kids on there

00:46:33So I don't think

00:46:34He's doing a bad job

00:46:34But it does feel

00:46:35There's a bit of a

00:46:36A bit of a falling out

00:46:37Behind the scenes perhaps

00:46:38What do you think

00:46:38As a manager

00:46:39Sitting in that chair

00:46:40His aim was

00:46:41What was the end game

00:46:42Yeah no

00:46:43I think when you deliver

00:46:43A press conference like that

00:46:45You're obviously trying

00:46:46To make a point

00:46:46He's unhappy about something

00:46:48It's very difficult for us

00:46:49Without knowing

00:46:49The inner workings

00:46:50At the football club

00:46:51And the conversations

00:46:51That go on

00:46:52What he's unhappy with

00:46:54I agree with Shea

00:46:55That there's not much

00:46:57For him to work with

00:46:57At the moment

00:46:58If you look at that bench

00:46:59That Manchester United

00:46:59Are naming

00:47:00They are fifth or sixth

00:47:02In the league

00:47:02And maybe they're not

00:47:03Underachieving too much

00:47:05With what he's got

00:47:05Available to him

00:47:06So I understand

00:47:06His need

00:47:07And his want

00:47:08For more backing

00:47:09But it is a dicey game

00:47:11To play

00:47:12When you're sat in that chair

00:47:13And you start to

00:47:13Criticise people above you

00:47:14Maybe when it's not gone

00:47:16Overly well for you

00:47:17Over the last 18 months

00:47:18But you know

00:47:19He's an intelligent guy

00:47:20Big boy

00:47:21I'm sure he knows

00:47:21What he's doing

00:47:22And if he feels

00:47:23He needs to make a point

00:47:24In that moment

00:47:24Then he has every right

00:47:25To do so

00:47:26I guess recent example

00:47:27Enzo Mareska

00:47:27It didn't quite work out

00:47:28For him did it

00:47:29When he helped

00:47:29No it goes one way

00:47:30Or the other

00:47:30You normally get some support

00:47:31Or it can end

00:47:32Fairly abruptly

00:47:33On the pitch

00:47:33The player that they're

00:47:34Looking to at the moment

00:47:35For creativity

00:47:36And an attacking threat

00:47:37You know very well

00:47:38Matthias Kunja

00:47:38From your time at Wolves

00:47:39Yeah one of my favourite

00:47:41Players that I worked with

00:47:41At Wolves

00:47:42We did an awful lot

00:47:43Of work with him

00:47:43On arriving in attacking

00:47:46Areas that really suited him

00:47:47So Manchester United

00:47:49Have used him

00:47:49In a similar zone

00:47:50But it does still feel like

00:47:52He's carrying a lot

00:47:52Of the burden

00:47:53In the attacking

00:47:54I know they're missing

00:47:54Players at the moment

00:47:55Fantastic finish

00:47:57He's unlucky that

00:47:57Cesco's just

00:47:58Not quite managed

00:47:59To get back

00:48:00From an offside position

00:48:00But shows his quality

00:48:01But here

00:48:02Just a lack of attackers

00:48:04On the pitch

00:48:05From Manchester United

00:48:05And you know

00:48:07Kunja needs people

00:48:08He needs runners

00:48:09To be able to find

00:48:09And he'll find them

00:48:10His right foot's

00:48:11One of the best in the business

00:48:12So there he's only got

00:48:13Cesco

00:48:13And Dorgou's really late

00:48:15To arrive

00:48:15So a fantastic ball

00:48:16Into a dangerous area

00:48:17From Kunja

00:48:18But not enough attackers

00:48:19For him to play with

00:48:20And combine

00:48:21And create things

00:48:22Here Dallow

00:48:23Playing outside

00:48:24Poor ball inside

00:48:25And now Aronson

00:48:26Punishes them

00:48:26On the counter attack

00:48:27And this was the catalyst

00:48:29Really

00:48:29This was the thing

00:48:30That sparked a reaction

00:48:31From Amory

00:48:31And Manchester United

00:48:32Zerksy comes straight

00:48:34Off the bench

00:48:34And literally

00:48:35Instantly

00:48:36You see three attackers

00:48:37Who are able to combine

00:48:38No full backs

00:48:39Playing higher up the pitch

00:48:40Three out and out

00:48:42Attackers

00:48:42And they're able to combine

00:48:44Cesco sets Zerksy

00:48:45Kunja makes that

00:48:46Running behind

00:48:47And we did loads

00:48:48And loads of finishing

00:48:48Drills with him

00:48:49And his right foot

00:48:50When you get him

00:48:50In and around the goal

00:48:51Is deadly

00:48:52He hits the net

00:48:53Time after time

00:48:54Same again

00:48:54Zerksy

00:48:55Cesco

00:48:55They work it between them

00:48:57And then they find

00:48:57The third link

00:48:58Mateus Kunja

00:48:59Once you get him here

00:49:00If he's got a runner

00:49:01He'll find it

00:49:02In the first half

00:49:03He didn't have one

00:49:03Second half

00:49:04Zerksy makes a fantastic

00:49:05Running behind

00:49:06Perfect weight

00:49:07On the pass from Kunja

00:49:08And then Cesco

00:49:09Will be disappointed

00:49:10He should do better

00:49:10Same again

00:49:11Kunja

00:49:12Drops down to him

00:49:14He's got two to combine

00:49:15With two attackers

00:49:15Who he can play with

00:49:16Would probably like more

00:49:17But at least he's got two

00:49:18They combine again

00:49:19Zerksy and Cesco

00:49:21Are able to take

00:49:22The defenders away

00:49:22Gets Mateus Kunja

00:49:24Half a yard

00:49:24And then that

00:49:25One lever right foot

00:49:26Nearly clinches

00:49:27The whole three points

00:49:28For Manchester United

00:49:29But another big

00:49:30Big performance for him

00:49:31And here you can see

00:49:32Like

00:49:32They're not blessed

00:49:34With goals

00:49:34You know

00:49:35Mateus Kunja

00:49:36Four

00:49:36Casemiro

00:49:37Four

00:49:37And then there's

00:49:38Not a lot else

00:49:39In that group

00:49:39And I understand

00:49:40They're missing players

00:49:41But this is

00:49:42Manchester United

00:49:43It's the biggest

00:49:44Or one of the biggest

00:49:44Clubs in the country

00:49:45And you would expect

00:49:46Their starting XI

00:49:47And bench

00:49:48To provide a lot more

00:49:49Goal threat

00:49:49Than it does at the moment

00:49:50So heavily reliant

00:49:51On Mateus

00:49:51And it says a lot

00:49:52About Leeds

00:49:53And their run in

00:49:54December in particular

00:49:55So the reaction

00:49:55Of a lot of the players

00:49:57And the manager there

00:49:58That you know

00:49:58Yes they're happy

00:49:59With the point

00:49:59But they've had

00:50:00Such a good run

00:50:01Since that defeat

00:50:01At the end of November

00:50:02To City

00:50:03They haven't lost

00:50:04A game in

00:50:04Manchester City

00:50:05He was under pressure

00:50:06Daniel Farke as well

00:50:07And they trusted him

00:50:07They stuck behind him

00:50:08Seven unbeaten

00:50:09Eight points clear

00:50:10Of the drop zone

00:50:10He's doing a great job

00:50:12OK we've got plenty

00:51:11Second highest

00:51:12Telly

00:51:12At this stage

00:51:13Of a Premier League

00:51:14Season

00:51:14Quivine

00:51:15Quivine Keller

00:51:20At Anfield

00:51:21In April

00:51:21Of last year

00:51:22After a dry

00:51:23December

00:51:24Igor Thiago

00:51:25Is looking to end

00:51:26A six-game wait

00:51:26For a goal

00:51:27O'Brien

00:51:34Tried to reverse

00:51:35To reverse the ball

00:51:35Can only find

00:51:36Dam's guard

00:51:37Thiago

00:51:38Blocks Jensen's

00:51:41Attempted ball

00:51:42And Grealish

00:51:43Jack Grealish

00:51:45Back to Dwight

00:51:46McNeil

00:51:50Callaghan

00:51:51First big moment

00:52:01McNeil

00:52:02Tricky one

00:52:04Cleared off

00:52:05The line

00:52:05By Thiago

00:52:06Well a nervy

00:52:09Few minutes

00:52:10For Keith

00:52:10Andrews

00:52:11His men

00:52:13Number nine

00:52:14Back on

00:52:15Defensive duties

00:52:16David Moyes

00:52:33Cross

00:52:35A fair sniff

00:52:39Of a goal

00:52:40For Igor

00:52:41Thiago

00:52:42And he

00:52:43Dispatches it

00:52:44David Moyes

00:52:47Clearly not

00:52:47Impressed

00:52:48But that

00:52:50Happened

00:52:50Ever so

00:52:51Quickly

00:54:47The run's

00:54:47Not

00:54:47And

00:54:48It's

00:54:48A simple

00:55:13Thiago

00:55:14Brentford are running riots at the Hill Dickinson Stadium

00:55:22look at that from Jensen

00:55:28Thiago takes charge

00:55:32his second of the afternoon

00:55:35who saw this scoreline coming pre-kickoff

00:55:39is the suspicion of an offside

00:55:42VAR are we having a look

00:55:44onside goal stands

00:55:48I'm not sure that's necessary from Thiago

00:55:52he's hugged Beto

00:55:53well after what David Moyes described as Everton's best performance

00:55:59since his return back to the club

00:56:01away at Nottingham Forest

00:56:03they're following it up with a horror show here against Brentford

00:56:06Garner's ball in

00:56:10decent one

00:56:11net by Tokoski and tipped over

00:56:13by Kelleher

00:56:15decent stop from underneath this crossbar

00:56:19Beto challenges

00:56:26Beto slides in and the decision is Everton throw

00:56:34Grealish

00:56:43beto glances it on and Everton have one back

00:56:47muted celebrations

00:56:51a sterny look from David Moyes

00:56:55is there life in this game yet for the home side

00:56:58it's the first time this season that an Everton player has come off the bench and scored

00:57:05neat header

00:57:07Keller have beaten

00:57:09I think a few minutes ago maybe some Everton supporters were questioning whether or not they should see this one out

00:57:17well that goal certainly changed their minds

00:57:20dams guard

00:57:23only Lewis Potter to aim for so far

00:57:26does find him

00:57:27back to Thiago on a hat-trick

00:57:29and it deflects

00:57:30and into the welcome arms of Jordan Pickford

00:57:34the speed in which Keith Andrews' side transition

00:57:38and they still manage to get a shot on target

00:57:41roll

00:57:46goes low again

00:57:47and here's Thiago

00:57:50he's in

00:57:52on a hat-trick

00:57:54Igor Thiago

00:57:55caps a superb away day

00:58:03for Brentford

00:58:04he secures the match ball

00:58:07and puts an end to this contest

00:58:10Everton were taking risks

00:58:12they were pushing men forwards

00:58:14and look

00:58:16at just how much time and space

00:58:19Igor Thiago has

00:58:21he's got the freedom

00:58:22of the Hill Dickinson Stadium

00:58:24to bear down on Jordan Pickford

00:58:27Everton 1

00:58:29Brentford 4

00:58:31as you can see

00:58:36lots of blue empty seats

00:58:38amongst the home supporters

00:58:40they've seen more than enough

00:58:43Grealish

00:58:47Grealish

00:58:50Barry

00:58:50still time for more goals in this match

00:58:55there hasn't been many positives for Everton here this afternoon

00:59:01but both of their strikers on the score sheet

00:59:04is one

00:59:04Everton 2

00:59:06Brentford 4

00:59:08I thought we were excellent

00:59:12right from the off really

00:59:14played with a lot of personality

00:59:16conviction

00:59:17energy

00:59:18spirit

00:59:19all the aspects of the game

00:59:20that I want to see from our team

00:59:22it come into a very very difficult

00:59:23ground

00:59:25even though it's a new ground

00:59:26difficult club to play against

00:59:27manager to play against

00:59:28who I have

00:59:29a serious amount of respect for

00:59:31so we knew we'd have to earn

00:59:33a result today

00:59:34but I have to say

00:59:35I thought we were excellent

00:59:36disappointment that we didn't play better

00:59:38but

00:59:39no we're just a bit short at the moment

00:59:41in some areas

00:59:42but in areas we lost the goals today

00:59:45we weren't short

00:59:46we've been very strong in those areas

00:59:47but I thought

00:59:48we were disappointed defensively today

00:59:50and

00:59:51certainly not as strong as we have been

00:59:53a word of appreciation for Igor Thiago

00:59:55I'm sure you go against him

00:59:56a lot in training

00:59:57so you'll know about his attributes

00:59:59and

00:59:59a short spell without scoring

01:00:02but back amongst the goals

01:00:03he's just a handful

01:00:04he has a bit of everything

01:00:05he runs in behind

01:00:06he works hard

01:00:06he holds the ball up

01:00:07and he can finish a ball

01:00:08he has everything to be the top striker

01:00:10and if he keeps going like this

01:00:11there's no reason he can't be

01:00:12he's played really well recently

01:00:13and not scored

01:00:14so I always felt that goals

01:00:16would come again

01:00:16it was unrealistic to think

01:00:18he was just going to continue

01:00:19banging in goals

01:00:20left, right and centre

01:00:21week in, week out

01:00:22like he had been

01:00:22so his performance again today

01:00:25was sensational

01:00:26and he truly deserves the accolades

01:00:28that he'll get off the back of it

01:00:29certainly not a typical Brentford performance

01:00:32on the road this season

01:00:33they've lost seven of nine

01:00:34but they were running rampant

01:00:35at the Hill Dickinson

01:00:36today

01:00:37and Thiago in particular

01:00:38off the back of six games

01:00:39without scoring

01:00:40yeah he was excellent Gabby

01:00:41there was no sign of a lack of confidence

01:00:44after not scoring for six games

01:00:46obviously he's been in the goals

01:00:47over the course of the season

01:00:48Everton were poor

01:00:49you know this is not their finest day

01:00:51mistakes as you'll see

01:00:52in the build up to a lot of these chances

01:00:53but proper number nine

01:00:55great movement off the back of the centre half

01:00:56and a fantastic finish

01:00:58and you can see him here

01:00:59his team mate spoke about it there

01:01:01Nathan Collins

01:01:01always wanting to threaten in behind

01:01:03these runs in behind

01:01:04so hard to deal with

01:01:05Pickford manages to save this one

01:01:07but then maybe he learns from that chance

01:01:09where he's smashed it

01:01:10and Pickford's got a hand to it

01:01:11he competes at the top of the pitch

01:01:13and he's a target man for them

01:01:14but now you see him again

01:01:15just threatening in behind

01:01:17that Everton back line

01:01:18and he caused them real real problems today

01:01:20he doesn't get the first one

01:01:21gets this one

01:01:22and that's a great finish

01:01:23to just lift it over Pickford

01:01:24would have been easy

01:01:25to smash it against him

01:01:26another poor ball from Everton

01:01:28and then not well organised

01:01:30behind the ball

01:01:30Everton on that clip

01:01:31and you leave Thiago

01:01:32in this sort of space

01:01:33in the form that he's in

01:01:34and all of us were pretty sure

01:01:35that this was going to end

01:01:36one way in a goal

01:01:37another little dink finish

01:01:39and a Premier League hat-trick for him

01:01:40and well deserved

01:01:42a fantastic performance

01:01:43and look at that

01:01:45he's in very good company

01:01:46he is

01:01:47and I think there's a

01:01:48there's a big tournament

01:01:49coming up in the summer

01:01:50isn't there

01:01:50the World Cup

01:01:51that I'm sure he's got his eyes on

01:01:53because Brazil

01:01:53haven't really ever set

01:01:54number nine for a while

01:01:55and I know he hasn't

01:01:57been called up yet

01:01:57but if he stays on that list

01:01:59and he keeps the company

01:02:00that he's keeping at the moment

01:02:01then it would be very

01:02:02very hard not to take him

01:02:03I mentioned Brentford's

01:02:04away form

01:02:05because actually

01:02:05their league position

01:02:06is very good

01:02:07and it's been built

01:02:07on their home form

01:02:08and Hill Dickinson

01:02:10for Everton

01:02:11at the moment

01:02:12their form there

01:02:13isn't very good

01:02:14is it

01:02:14and having had a good start

01:02:16to their new home

01:02:17things are looking a bit wobbly

01:02:18yeah Moyes said

01:02:19they're short in a few areas

01:02:20and again he'll be looking

01:02:20maybe at the window

01:02:21to try and strengthen

01:02:22but yeah

01:02:22the graph speaks for itself

01:02:24doesn't it

01:02:24I mean they're very

01:02:24Hill Dickinson's a brand new stadium

01:02:26and sometimes the opposition

01:02:27look like they

01:02:28like playing there

01:02:29more so in the home team

01:02:30and sometimes that happens

01:02:31Gabby

01:02:31but David Moyes

01:02:32will want to put that right

01:02:33we know he's a top manager

01:02:33and I'm sure he'll get it right

01:02:35OK

01:02:35Eddie Howe has said

01:02:37that January will be

01:02:38a season defining month

01:02:39for his Newcastle side

01:02:41they begin 2026

01:02:42against another side

01:02:43struggling for forming

01:02:44Crystal Palace

01:02:44commentary comes from

01:02:45Martin Fisher

01:02:46January will be defining

01:02:50it will certainly be tiring

01:02:51nine games

01:02:53over the next 28 days

01:02:55for Newcastle

01:02:55in four different competitions

01:02:57Palace know all about

01:02:59hectic schedules

01:03:00this is their 32nd match

01:03:02of the campaign

01:03:10who scored in their last

01:03:12two wins here

01:03:13over Palace

01:03:14the Eagles give a debut

01:03:15to Brennan Johnson

01:03:16who only joined them

01:03:18from Spurs on Friday

01:03:21of 35 million pounds

01:03:23neither side

01:03:49Mitchell with the block

01:03:50Newcastle's corner

01:03:51some pieces again

01:03:57something that they have

01:03:58struggled with

01:03:59of late

01:04:00Lewis Hall

01:04:01to swing this in

01:04:02for Newcastle

01:04:03it's deep

01:04:04Henderson helps it

01:04:04on its way

01:04:05Whistle

01:04:22of punches away

01:04:23by the

01:04:23Palace goalkeeper

01:04:25at the start

01:04:25of all that

01:04:26but he was

01:04:28in the right position

01:04:29to deal with it

01:04:30when it came back

01:04:31his way

01:04:31from Fabian

01:04:52that hasn't come

01:06:08for Will Hughes

01:06:09well he doesn't score

01:06:11many

01:06:12but he really should have

01:06:13buried that opportunity

01:06:14lovely way to pass

01:06:16by Pino

01:06:17and from there

01:06:19Hughes somehow

01:06:20puts it

01:06:21wide

01:06:22of the target

01:08:14his seventh

01:08:15Premier League

01:08:16goal of the season

01:08:17and that

01:08:18matches his best

01:08:19ever tally

01:08:20in the Premier League

01:08:21of two seasons

01:08:22ago

01:08:22it's another goal

01:08:25that Palace

01:08:25have conceded

01:08:26from a set piece

01:08:27it has been

01:08:28there undoing

01:08:29all too often

01:08:30in recent weeks

01:08:32driven in

01:08:34by Murphy

01:08:34Miley

01:08:35for Cher

01:08:36and a header

01:08:38from Barnes

01:08:38brilliantly saved

01:08:39by Henderson

01:08:40it almost bounced

01:08:41to Wissett

01:08:42that Canvo

01:08:44was there

01:08:44for Palace

01:08:45to shove it

01:08:46behind

01:08:46Newcastle

01:08:49pressing hard

01:08:50now

01:08:50for a second

01:08:51goal

01:08:51another

01:08:54dangerous corner

01:08:55Joel Linton

01:08:55got a touch

01:08:56and it's in

01:08:56Malik Chow

01:08:59makes it two

01:08:59to Newcastle

01:09:00and that

01:09:02is that

01:09:02I'm sure

01:09:03from St

01:09:03James's Park

01:09:04another set piece

01:09:06brings another goal

01:09:07against Crystal Palace

01:09:08and once again

01:09:11they have

01:09:12tired

01:09:13significantly

01:09:14the longer

01:09:15the game

01:09:15has worn on

01:09:16real pinball

01:09:18in there

01:09:18for a second

01:09:19or two

01:09:19and it's

01:09:20Chow

01:09:20who gets

01:09:21the vital

01:09:22final touch

01:09:22forward

01:09:27by Gimaraish

01:09:28Barnes

01:09:28looked like

01:09:29he timed

01:09:29his run

01:09:29brilliantly

01:09:30Barnes is in

01:09:31here for

01:09:31Newcastle

01:09:32for number

01:09:32three

01:09:32how was that

01:09:37put wide

01:09:38by Joe

01:09:38Willock

01:09:39Henderson

01:09:41did really

01:09:41well

01:09:42to block

01:09:43the effort

01:09:44from Barnes

01:09:44but it looked

01:09:45like it was

01:09:45just a temporary

01:09:47reprieve

01:09:48as Joe

01:09:49Willock

01:09:49came bursting

01:09:50in from the

01:09:50far side

01:09:51from there

01:09:52Joe Willock

01:09:53has found a way

01:09:54of missing the

01:09:56target

01:09:56but it won't

01:09:57matter

01:09:57Newcastle have

01:09:58come through

01:09:59this one

01:09:59in the end

01:10:00rather comfortably

01:10:01Newcastle 2

01:10:02Palace 0

01:10:03two goals

01:10:05happened

01:10:05from two

01:10:06set plays

01:10:06and that's

01:10:07what we have

01:10:08to solve

01:10:10the problem

01:10:10conceding goals

01:10:11from set plays

01:10:11I think

01:10:11from our last

01:10:12six defeats

01:10:13in five

01:10:14games we just

01:10:15conceded goals

01:10:15from set plays

01:10:16and not one

01:10:17just every single

01:10:17one

01:10:18today two

01:10:18four at Leeds

01:10:19two against

01:10:20Man United

01:10:21one against

01:10:21Tottenham

01:10:22two at Strasbourg

01:10:23so and then

01:10:23you can't win

01:10:25games

01:10:26this is our

01:10:27responsibility

01:10:28it's my

01:10:30responsibility

01:10:30to give the

01:10:31players better

01:10:31solutions

01:10:32that they can

01:10:33defend it

01:10:33in a better

01:10:33way

01:10:34I think we

01:10:34worked really

01:10:35hard at our

01:10:36set pieces

01:10:36and pleased to

01:10:37see them come

01:10:37off and they

01:10:38can win and

01:10:38lose your game

01:10:39so it was a

01:10:40defining factor

01:10:41today when we

01:10:41come in at

01:10:410-0 we know

01:10:42we could play

01:10:43better I thought

01:10:43we did play

01:10:44better especially

01:10:44with the

01:10:45introduction of

01:10:46the substitutes

01:10:46thought they

01:10:47all made a

01:10:47difference and

01:10:48finally we had

01:10:49some sort of

01:10:50strength back in

01:10:50the squad today

01:10:51you could see

01:10:51our bench was

01:10:52much stronger

01:10:55and I think

01:10:55that made the

01:10:56difference

01:10:56so back-to-back

01:10:58wins for

01:10:58Newcastle

01:10:59United and

01:11:00that coincides

01:11:01with two

01:11:02Premier League

01:11:02starts for

01:11:03Johan Wisser

01:11:03he offers

01:11:04something of

01:11:05an ISAC-esque

01:11:06quality to

01:11:07Newcastle

01:11:07you see the

01:11:08difference

01:11:08but yeah I

01:11:11agree totally

01:11:11Gabby and

01:11:13there's a good

01:11:13link-up play

01:11:13with him and

01:11:14Guimarães

01:11:14today you see

01:11:14in the picture

01:11:15he drops deep

01:11:15and Valtomar is

01:11:16good at this

01:11:17as well

01:11:17dropping deep

01:11:17but I like to

01:11:18keep an eye

01:11:19and visit

01:11:19his movement

01:11:19after a striker

01:11:20he drags the

01:11:21centre-half out of

01:11:22position but he's

01:11:23not happy we can

01:11:23get involved in

01:11:24link-up play

01:11:24watch where he ends

01:11:25up here now

01:11:25he probably should

01:11:26score here

01:11:26Johan at the

01:11:27edge of the

01:11:27box

01:11:27you know it's a

01:11:28timid sort of

01:11:29shot at the end

01:11:29of that but

01:11:29again he's got

01:11:30one thought in

01:11:31his mind is to

01:11:32get in the box

01:11:32and again Bruno

01:11:33receives the ball

01:11:34here look at

01:11:34Vista his first

01:11:35thought is can

01:11:36he stretch the

01:11:36opposition can

01:11:37he play down

01:11:38the sides and

01:11:39again a spit

01:11:39like ISAC last

01:11:40season he's

01:11:40done that a lot

01:11:41it's very difficult

01:11:42for defenders to

01:11:43defend against

01:11:43pace and power

01:11:44he was marginally

01:11:44offside in this

01:11:45occasion obviously

01:11:46Gordon with the

01:11:47follow-up but the

01:11:47goal was rightly

01:11:48disallowed again can

01:11:49Bruno play that

01:11:49ball you see

01:11:50Vista peeling on

01:11:51the back of the

01:11:51centre-half that's

01:11:52what he's good at

01:11:53you know occupying

01:11:54the centre-halves

01:11:55and again he

01:11:56doesn't come out

01:11:57to try and link

01:11:57up on the edge of

01:11:58the box but maybe

01:11:58I've ultimately

01:11:58he's getting in the

01:11:59middle of the goal

01:12:00he's the best

01:12:00opportunity to score

01:12:01goals you know

01:12:02Palace just do

01:12:02enough to defend

01:12:03us but again him

01:12:04and Bruno are in

01:12:05the box here

01:12:05trying to score

01:12:06and Eddie

01:12:07mentioned set

01:12:07plays it's a

01:12:08huge part of the

01:12:08game we highlight

01:12:09Bruno in the

01:12:10middle of the box

01:12:11and we should

01:12:11mention Lewis

01:12:12Miley the back

01:12:12who was absolutely

01:12:13brilliant today by

01:12:13the way keeps it

01:12:14alive and you want

01:12:15your captain to step

01:12:16up at a key

01:12:17moment the first goal

01:12:18in any game is so

01:12:19important and again

01:12:20captain fantastic

01:12:21steps up to the

01:12:22plate gets the

01:12:22well important goal

01:12:23and you look at his

01:12:24stats as well he's

01:12:25matched his best

01:12:26goal scoring record

01:12:27already and we're

01:12:28only in January so

01:12:28again such huge

01:12:29important goals and

01:12:31you mentioned Eddie

01:12:31mentioned momentum

01:12:32for this team now

01:12:33back to back ones

01:12:34can they push on

01:12:35they've got some big

01:12:35games coming up

01:12:36Oliver Glasner

01:12:37bemoaning the fact

01:12:38that Crystal Palace

01:12:39can't defend set

01:12:40pieces and they do

01:12:41have a terrible

01:12:42record this season

01:12:43they do I'm sure

01:12:44this is driving him

01:12:45I'm sure this is

01:12:45driving him mad

01:12:46because they're

01:12:47always in games you

01:12:48know they're

01:12:48defensively sound

01:12:49they're well

01:12:49organised well

01:12:50coached but like

01:12:51he said there if

01:12:52you're going to

01:12:52ship this many

01:12:53goals from set

01:12:54pieces over 50%

01:12:55of the goals

01:12:56they've conceded

01:12:56have been from

01:12:57set plays and

01:12:58it's been a real

01:12:59struggle for him

01:12:59and the more it

01:13:00happens the more

01:13:01it becomes a thing

01:13:02because I'm sure

01:13:02he'll do a meeting

01:13:03on it tomorrow or

01:13:04the next day around

01:13:06we need to be

01:13:06better at it and

01:13:07then the lads go

01:13:08out onto the pitch

01:13:09they give a corner

01:13:10away and instantly

01:13:12everyone's thinking

01:13:12oh no another

01:13:13corner you know we've

01:13:14struggled off these

01:13:15this season so the

01:13:16quicker they fix it

01:13:17the better easier

01:13:18said than done

01:13:18but I'm sure

01:13:20Glasgow will be

01:13:20working hard at it

01:13:21OK thank you

01:13:22Tottenham staggered

01:13:23into 2026 with a

01:13:25goalless draw of

01:13:25Brentford on New

01:13:26Year's Day their

01:13:27first in 137 Premier

01:13:28League games they

01:13:29were hoping for

01:13:30better at home to

01:13:31upwardly mobile

01:13:32Sunderland your

01:13:33commentator Robin

01:13:34Cowan

01:13:35goalless draws for both

01:13:37Spurs and Sunderland to

01:13:38begin the new year but

01:13:39the mood from the

01:13:40respective fan bases

01:13:41couldn't be more

01:13:42different Tottenham's

01:13:43travelling fans were

01:13:44vociferous in their

01:13:45dissatisfaction and

01:13:46another toothless

01:13:47display in response

01:13:48Thomas Frank has

01:13:49replaced a holding

01:13:50midfielder in

01:13:51Jao Polina with a

01:13:52more attack minded

01:13:53Matthias Tell the

01:13:54other change sees

01:13:55Ben Davis make just

01:13:56his second Premier

01:13:57League appearance of

01:13:57the season and first

01:13:59from the start

01:14:00Sunderland have taken

01:14:01points of all of the

01:14:02current top four in

01:14:03the Premier League

01:14:04Manchester City the

01:14:05latest side to leave

01:14:06the stadium of light

01:14:07frustrated Regis

01:14:08Libris names the

01:14:09same eleven with

01:14:10this a fixture former

01:14:11Arsenal man Granit

01:14:12Xhaka will have been

01:14:13especially looking

01:14:14forward to

01:14:14Archie Gray

01:14:20given away but

01:14:23Granit Xhaka can't

01:14:24keep hold of it

01:14:25Gray

01:14:26allowed to advance

01:14:28options right and

01:14:30left

01:14:30Serkin got a little

01:14:32touch on it

01:14:33Poros delivery

01:14:35Mukiele

01:14:37the faintest of

01:14:39glances ahead of

01:14:40Rashadison

01:14:41had he not got that

01:14:45touch

01:14:45that would have been

01:14:461-0

01:14:47Thomas Frank has

01:14:51admitted that the

01:14:51first half of the

01:14:53season as Tottenham

01:14:54head coach has been

01:14:55difficult to enjoy

01:14:56out of there

01:14:59and now

01:15:00Tell

01:15:01Ty

01:15:03went to place it

01:15:05really not a bad

01:15:07effort from Tell

01:15:08but

01:15:09pretty sure that

01:15:11that was heading

01:15:12wide

01:15:12good spell of

01:15:16sustained pressure

01:15:17this from Tottenham

01:15:18but

01:15:18is there something at

01:15:19the end of it

01:15:20Romero

01:15:21takes it down

01:15:36Van de Ven

01:15:37and touched in by

01:15:51Ben Davis

01:15:52well Tottenham

01:15:56looking for

01:15:56more potency

01:15:58up front

01:15:59and it's the

01:16:01defenders who

01:16:01combine

01:16:02to get their

01:16:03first goal

01:16:04you've got to say

01:16:05this was slapdash

01:16:06from Sunderland

01:16:08Christian Romero

01:16:09had time to

01:16:10take it down

01:16:10slip

01:16:11and

01:16:13Mickey Van de Ven

01:16:14shot

01:16:14is turned in

01:16:16by Ben Davis

01:16:18his first

01:16:20Spurs goal

01:16:21in over

01:16:22two years

01:16:23some hope

01:16:25for Reggie

01:16:26to the

01:16:26Barice

01:16:26only Aston Villa

01:16:27have won more

01:16:27points from

01:16:28losing positions

01:16:29this season

01:16:30than Sunderland

01:16:41nicely for him

01:16:42really closing

01:16:45him down

01:16:46they've really

01:16:48failed to lay

01:16:48a glove on

01:16:49Tottenham so

01:16:50far in this

01:16:50first half

01:17:18unconvincing

01:17:20from the

01:17:21Tottenham

01:17:22goalkeeper

01:17:22this was a

01:17:25chance

01:21:18away

01:21:18yeah

01:21:19the

01:21:19game

01:21:19was

01:21:20there

01:21:20for

01:21:20them

01:21:20I

01:21:20preferred

01:21:21their

01:21:21approach

01:21:21I

01:21:22thought

01:21:22they

01:21:22were

01:21:22slightly

01:21:23more

01:21:23aggressive

01:21:23you can

01:21:23see

01:21:24here

01:21:24this is

01:21:24right

01:21:24from the

01:21:24start

01:21:25after

01:21:26Sunderland

01:21:26not going to give

01:21:27Sunderland an easy

01:21:28afternoon

01:21:28which sometimes it feels like they can at this stadium

01:21:31they got after them but then poor decision from Richarlison

01:21:33and the story of it was they just really lack quality

01:21:36you know that here it's not a difficult ball here from Benton Kerr

01:21:39big space to leave that in for Richarlison

01:21:41he misses it

01:21:43lose the chance they get it back again

01:21:45Colin Mwani

01:21:46again easy pass

01:21:48big big space to get that in with Premier League quality

01:21:51doesn't manage to find it

01:21:53Sunderland off the hook again

01:21:54and when Spurs were on top and Thomas Frank talked about missing some opportunities

01:21:59here Pedro Porro when he breaks

01:22:01he finally shows a moment of quality and you think this is it what a ball

01:22:05and then they lack quality on the end of it with a really poor first touch

01:22:09and the chance fizzles out

01:22:10and then when you need a moment of quality this Sunderland side never know when they're beat

01:22:14and this is real top top draw the moment of quality didn't come from Spurs

01:22:17it comes from Sunderland

01:22:18fantastic link up from Brobby

01:22:20and that pass from Le Fay on the volley

01:22:22to get the weight of it and the direction of it right

01:22:25and then an emphatic finish from Brobby

01:22:27smashes right through the ball

01:22:29absolutely no chance for the goalkeeper

01:22:31and this Sunderland train keeps on rolling and they're very very difficult to stop at the moment

01:22:36and there's pressure on Thomas Frank you could hear the boos couldn't you at the end of the game

01:22:40what do you feel the kind of the music the mood music is like around Spurs

01:22:44I kind of look at the table they're the 13th couple of wins are in the Champions League position

01:22:48it's very tight in the middle of the league

01:22:49I know that's not what Thomas Frank wants he wants results and the fans want results

01:22:53but I think Stake Wolfe maybe

01:22:55I know Johnson's left this week

01:22:56maybe he'll get money in the January window to strengthen his squad and push them up the league

01:23:00OK

01:23:01shall we take a look at all the goals from yesterday then

01:23:03all deary me

01:23:11give it straight to Evan Nielsen

01:23:13and away from Semenyo and still going

01:23:20and across

01:23:21and blocked

01:23:22but in

01:23:23Arsenal level

01:23:24and it is Gabriel

01:23:26Jokoret has got the wrong side of his man

01:23:30Sanesi struggling to recover

01:23:31Odegaard now

01:23:33Bryce

01:23:33brilliant

01:23:34absolutely clinical from Declan Rice

01:23:38here's Bukayo Saka

01:23:41Bryce

01:23:43Declan Rice at the double for Arsenal

01:23:46Cook

01:23:48opens up for the hit

01:23:50here

01:23:51oh

01:23:51what a hit too from Kruppi

01:23:54Rogers

01:23:56Watkins

01:23:58Cash is in space

01:24:03Kamara's found him

01:24:05McGinn coming in

01:24:062-0 Aston Villa

01:24:11Gibbs-White bursting forward and he's onside

01:24:13it's Morgan Gibbs-White for Forrest

01:24:16hope is restored

01:24:19Telemans

01:24:21into McGinn

01:24:23oh the goalkeeper's in no man's land here

01:24:25and Sian McGinn

01:24:28makes him play

01:24:30Hayari

01:24:35Costoulis is in there

01:24:37blasted home by Ruta

01:24:38Bogachukwu tries to send it away

01:24:43sliding in but

01:24:44Yasin

01:24:44Yari

01:24:45collects it here

01:24:45oh it's the perfect start to the second half

01:24:48for Brandon

01:24:49Hove

01:24:49Albion

01:24:49and it goes to Huang

01:24:54Huang's ball across

01:24:56and Wolves in front

01:24:58as far as Mane

01:25:04he goes down

01:25:05and wins the penalty

01:25:06so Huang

01:25:08with an opportunity

01:25:09to give Wolves

01:25:11a 2-0 lead

01:25:13an opportunity he takes

01:25:15Mane's onside

01:25:19no question of that

01:25:20and he has a goal

01:25:22and it's three

01:25:23a big moment

01:25:29a big day

01:25:30for Wolves

01:25:30I know you're pleased

01:25:32for your old team there

01:25:33one of your other

01:25:34old teams as a player

01:25:35West Ham

01:25:36in big trouble

01:25:37yeah it seems that way

01:25:38doesn't it

01:25:38I thought that when they appointed Nuno

01:25:40that they would start to move themselves away

01:25:43and we'd see an upturn

01:25:44it hasn't

01:25:45hasn't quite gone that way yet

01:25:46I'm sure they'll be

01:25:47doing their best in January

01:25:48to give him some support

01:25:49and try and give themselves an opportunity

01:25:51because that gap

01:25:52just seems to be widening

01:25:53you know

01:25:54Nottingham Forest

01:25:54haven't quite capitalised

01:25:55but Leeds have moved themselves

01:25:56away from it

01:25:57so fantastic win for Wolves

01:25:59absolutely delighted for Rob as well

01:26:00because I know he's working his socks off there

01:26:02and he's got their first victory

01:26:03which will feel like a big one

01:26:05but West Ham

01:26:06with an awful lot of work to do

01:26:07to move away from that bottom three

01:26:08big game against Forest

01:26:09on Tuesday of course

01:26:10now we've loved having you here

01:26:11haven't we

01:26:11we've had a great day today

01:26:12we've all been in since 12 o'clock

01:26:14watching all the matches

01:26:15I'm sure you've had a lovely time

01:26:16as well

01:26:17but you'd much rather be managing

01:26:18of course

01:26:19would you?

01:26:20not

01:26:20well yeah

01:26:22this has been great

01:26:24it's not quite as stressful as managing

01:26:25but I do miss being on the touchline

01:26:27it's a fantastic feeling

01:26:28so hopefully back soon

01:26:29hopefully something comes up

01:26:30that you feel you want to do

01:26:32more than spend time with Shea and I

01:26:33yeah

01:26:34good choice really

01:26:35OK

01:26:37here's how the Premier League table

01:26:38looks after 20 games played

01:26:40back-to-back draws for Manchester City

01:26:42means Arsenal have a six-point lead

01:26:44at the top

01:26:45Brentford have made their joint best start

01:26:46to a Premier League season

01:26:47and are only four points off

01:26:48Liverpool in fourth

01:26:49in fact a mere four points

01:26:50separates fifth all the way down to 14th
