00:00:00Formula, Rhys James makes his 200th appearance for Chelsea, Trevor Chalabar is back from suspension,
00:00:06Andre Santos and Romeo Lavia also start, Enzo Fernandes is injured, Moises Caicedo on the bench.
00:00:15And prior to kick off, the players take a knee, reiterating the message, there should be no room
00:00:20for racism or prejudice of any sort in football or anywhere else.
00:00:25Chelsea looking to win here at the City ground for the third season in a row, this is where
00:00:33they secured Champions League qualification at the back end of last season, but it's been
00:00:38given away by Malagusto and Awanyi, has a first sighting of goal on his return to action for
00:00:45the first time since the end of last season.
00:00:49Chelsea causing problems for themselves here.
00:00:52Ange Postokoglu, the 8th permanent manager under Evangelos Maranakis.
00:01:02It's poor from Chalabar, Awanyi, now Gibbs-White, bursting clear of Lavia, nicely done, Elliot
00:01:10Anderson, Forrest threatening for a moment here, and it all came from that poor pass as Chelsea
00:01:16conceded possession, that it'll check back, and the stumble.
00:01:24Well, Enzo Maresco forced to take a seat in the stand today, following his red card against
00:01:29Liverpool, two yellows, the second of which you may remember his exuberant celebration on
00:01:33the touchline.
00:01:34Got away from Romeo Lavia, here's Morgan Gibbs-White, and it's wide, and it's at least the third
00:01:45time, if not more, that Chelsea have given the ball away inside their own half of the field,
00:01:50and Gibbs-White, unable to hit the target, an unexpected opportunity, spurned.
00:02:01The bounce beats Adjampong, Awanyi's there, it's Douglas-Louise, Gibbs-White!
00:02:08Forrest are knocking on the door.
00:02:12Gibbs-White was really stretching to try and get there.
00:02:15And there's the thoughtful face of the Nottingham Forest owner, Evangelos Maranakis.
00:02:26A penny for his thoughts.
00:02:31Jean-Pedro, lovely little bit of skill in towards Andre Santos, who is sending it just wide.
00:02:39Chelsea suddenly creating something out of seemingly nothing, and Forrest survive.
00:02:50Jean-Pedro, two Brazilian strikers going at it, and Jean-Pedro going to ground, and Chelsea
00:02:58with a free kick.
00:02:59Early second-half pressure here from Chelsea.
00:03:07Grace James whips it in.
00:03:10Heather away by Gibbs-White, collected by Malagusto.
00:03:18Neto is going to have a run at Nico Williams here, and it was worth it.
00:03:22Adjampong, 1-0 Chelsea, unmarked, clear header.
00:03:28Great chance, fine goal.
00:03:32Josh Adjampong scores his first goal for the club.
00:03:36What a moment for the 19-year-old.
00:03:38Well, Chelsea made three changes at the break.
00:03:40They've been brighter already in the opening exchanges at the second period, and here Adjampong.
00:03:45Right place, right time.
00:03:48The cross was delightful from Pedro Neto, right on his head.
00:03:54It's Nottingham Forest, 0-0 Chelsea, 1.
00:04:00And here comes Chelsea again with Gusto into João Pedro, up to Marc Guil.
00:04:06They get a free kick as well for that one on the edge of the box.
00:04:09Dangerous times here for Forest.
00:04:13And it's a foul by Morato, who has already gone in the referee's book in the first half.
00:04:26Sells on the balls of his feet.
00:04:28Oh, and it's two!
00:04:32And in the blink of an eye, Chelsea open up, real daylight, Pedro Neto.
00:04:39And it's all unravelled for Nottingham Forest in the opening six minutes of the second half.
00:04:45Pedro Neto scores in front of the travelling fans, Forest are shell-shocked.
00:04:51There, through the hole in the wall.
00:04:54Big gap, and it's a big goal.
00:04:58The first cries of Sakt in the morning heading towards the touchline,
00:05:03coming from the Chelsea fans.
00:05:05Here's Milenkovich.
00:05:08He was caught by Malagusto.
00:05:13He'll get a card.
00:05:16That's actually a beat there for Malagusto.
00:05:23Sangare losing out to João Pedro.
00:05:26Chelsea threatening again.
00:05:29João Pedro close.
00:05:30As Chelsea seek to put this game way beyond reach.
00:05:38Forest just looking for a spark to bring them back in the game.
00:05:41Anderson across.
00:05:42Williams going for it.
00:05:43And really good defensive work in support of his colleagues there from Jamie Gittins.
00:05:49Zinchenko across.
00:05:59Oh, what a chance that was for Williams.
00:06:02Big moment there.
00:06:05Forest and he really needed that to go in.
00:06:09Milenkovich.
00:06:10Here's Williams.
00:06:14No way past Kukurea.
00:06:15Corner.
00:06:25By the head of Milenkovich.
00:06:27Saved by Sanchez.
00:06:31Forest threatening here.
00:06:32Sanchez able to flick it over with his fingertips.
00:06:41Well, Evangelo Samarinakis hasn't been in his seat for over five minutes now.
00:06:47Has he seen enough?
00:06:47One back by Murilo Sangare.
00:06:56Here's Anderson.
00:06:58Now Hudson-Odoi.
00:07:05Hudson-Odoi.
00:07:06He goes, Jesus!
00:07:07How did that not go in?
00:07:08An extraordinary moment.
00:07:14The delivery from Callum Hudson-Odoi.
00:07:18And the effort from Igor Jesus there, hitting the crossbar and the post.
00:07:28Rhys James.
00:07:29Guillou.
00:07:31Anderson challenged by Kukurea.
00:07:33Here's Esteval.
00:07:35Corner.
00:07:35Tell you what, it wasn't that far away from 3-0.
00:07:44Esteval to take it.
00:07:47Right under the goalkeepers.
00:07:49No!
00:07:49It's 3-0, Rhys James.
00:07:53Marks his 200th appearance for Chelsea.
00:07:56With a goal that seals the deal at the city ground.
00:07:59Three goals for Chelsea.
00:08:01Three points.
00:08:02Ange Postacoglu and Nottingham Forest.
00:08:05Empty-handed again.
00:08:08And thousands of people immediately make for the exits.
00:08:17It was a terrific looking corner.
00:08:19From Esteval.
00:08:20Punched away by Sells.
00:08:23It was a lovely finish from Rhys James.
00:08:26Charles Pedro forward looking for Esteval when it's collected by Sells.
00:08:36And a foul there on Nico Williams by Malagusto.
00:08:39And he's already been booked earlier in the match.
00:08:44So that means that Chelsea will finish the game with 10.
00:08:47He knew it straight away.
00:08:49Malagusto sent off for Chelsea.
00:08:51That should do it.
00:09:00The mood darkens.
00:09:02The booze grow louder in Nottingham.
00:09:04It's an excellent away win for Chelsea.
00:09:07But for Ange Postacoglu, things don't look great less than six weeks after taking the job.
00:09:14And 21 minutes later, a 39-day tenure was ended with a 39-word statement from the club.
00:09:23Big Ange was gone.
00:09:2739 days is not very long.
00:09:28You must have hardly got to know Ange Postacoglu, really.
00:09:33No, not really.
00:09:33But that's the nature of football.
00:09:36You know, results haven't been good enough.
00:09:39Us as players have to take massive responsibility.
00:09:42And, you know, collectively as a group, we need to do more.
00:09:46You know, we have to look at ourselves in the mirror.
00:09:48We have to get on the training pitch.
00:09:50We have to look for them.
00:09:51Then 1%, it's fine margins.
00:09:53And, yeah, we need to give absolutely everything we owe it to the fans to put in a really good performance on Thursday.
00:09:57But it's a tough game, isn't it, at the top level.
00:09:59An excellent result for you.
00:10:01But today the Forest manager has lost his job.
00:10:05Yeah, they just said me.
00:10:08Unfortunately, it's our job.
00:10:10It's business where you need to win games in case you don't win games.
00:10:14The consequence is for all of us exactly the same.
00:10:18So, Ange Postacoglu, 39 days, puts him second officially on the shortest managerial reigns in Premier League history.
00:10:24But Sam Allardyce, if you remember, was brought in to manage Leeds to the end of the season.
00:10:29So, if you're looking at a permanent appointment, you could argue that it is the shortest of all time.
00:10:33Michael, was it inevitable today?
00:10:35Yeah, I think it was in terms of the owner and his standards for the club.
00:10:40Remember last season, he thought he was going to get Champions League.
00:10:42Didn't work out.
00:10:43They got into Europe.
00:10:45Wasn't good enough.
00:10:46Obviously, Nuno gets sacked after that.
00:10:49But in terms of football, five games, 39 days in the Premier League and he's getting sacked.
00:10:57It's just ridiculous to me.
00:10:59I don't know where we're going as football.
00:11:01I understand the results have not been great.
00:11:04But in terms of a manager trying to get his philosophy over, we knew with Nuno there was a defensive style team.
00:11:11Now, we know Ange likes to play on the front foot.
00:11:12And we always talk about giving managers time to put their input on what the team wants to do.
00:11:20And for them to get five games in the Premier League, for me, I just...
00:11:23With an international break in the middle of all of that, in terms of getting to know your players, do you have some sympathy for him?
00:11:27Yeah, absolutely.
00:11:27You do have sympathy for him, yeah.
00:11:29I mean, the owner has to accept his share of the blame.
00:11:32He went out and chose this particular manager knowing that he had a completely different system to what the previous manager had got.
00:11:40But five Premier League games, you absolutely have sympathy for him.
00:11:44But the names...
00:11:45Mareska said it, didn't he?
00:11:46You know the rules in football.
00:11:48If you don't get results immediately, unfortunately, you're going to lose your job.
00:11:52And the names in the frame, Sean Dyche, Mancini, Rafa Benitez.
00:11:58You know, some people might say, well, why would you want to go there and work under that regime?
00:12:02It's so uncertain.
00:12:03The queue will be a mile long.
00:12:05It's a huge football club.
00:12:06There's only 20 jobs available in the Premier League.
00:12:09Everyone wants to come in the Premier League.
00:12:11And I'm pretty sure the owner already would have spoken to at least five or six of those big names.
00:12:17OK, well, let's talk about what happened in the match.
00:12:19Because in the first half, actually, Forrest had quite a few good chances.
00:12:22And it took Mareska to make some changes for Chelsea to get to Flurry.
00:12:25Yeah, it didn't work for them at all.
00:12:27I mean, Forrest had some really, really good chances.
00:12:29Didn't take them.
00:12:29We're all sat thinking we all know what's going to happen.
00:12:31And particularly in forward positions, it didn't work for Chelsea.
00:12:34Got Santos and Pedro there.
00:12:36Pedro was the nine.
00:12:38But on these occasions, he actually came short into those positions.
00:12:43And the only time it worked was the last minute of the first half.
00:12:46Didn't work here at all.
00:12:48They weren't linking up well at all.
00:12:51And the managers obviously look and think, I'm going to change it.
00:12:53This is the one occasion in the first half it did.
00:12:56Pedro goes short.
00:12:57Santos goes in behind.
00:12:59That was their best chance.
00:13:01Probably their only chance in the first half.
00:13:02And he thought, you know what, it's not working, I've got to change it.
00:13:05So not only did he bring Gittins and Caicedo on, so it had a bit of solidity in, particularly in the midfield.
00:13:11He brought Guiu on.
00:13:12And you can see the difference now there.
00:13:14Pedro's now playing predominantly in the 10-10 role.
00:13:18Guiu's in the centre-four and he's running in behind.
00:13:20And all of a sudden, it changes.
00:13:21They're now playing on the front foot.
00:13:24They're now getting chances in the final third.
00:13:26But that turns into a free kick, which they then get the, it turns out they get the goal from it.
00:13:31Similar thing again, look, Guiu's coming short for that ball, but he's actually asking the question in behind.
00:13:36It's such a clever run.
00:13:38He doesn't get it the first time, but you can see, again, look, that way ends up.
00:13:42Again, making it difficult for the Forrester fence.
00:13:45And they're having to think again all the same.
00:13:47Now, just watch this, how it works.
00:13:49You can see Pedro knows exactly where he is.
00:13:51OK, he chooses not to play him on that occasion, but he then gets the ball back.
00:13:56And again, that's a clever ball and a pass.
00:13:58They work it well.
00:13:59They get the free kick and they score again from the free kick.
00:14:02It's well worked from James and from Neto.
00:14:05But Chelsea, I think, were without doubt much, much better for those changes at half-time.
00:14:10More on the front foot and created certainly more chances.
00:14:13And as we've spoken about, we know what happened after that.
00:14:15Yeah, and they did have chances in the first half.
00:14:17And obviously, Maranakis had seen exactly everything he wanted to see there.
00:14:21I think Yates says it in his interview, I think it's a collective for Forrest.
00:14:25And they did have a lot of chances in that first half.
00:14:28And that was a difference in the end.
00:14:30It was quality.
00:14:31Another result now doesn't look great for Forrest.
00:14:33But if you actually watched the game, if they would have took a few of those chances,
00:14:36it could have been a different outcome.
00:14:38And so many new players brought in over the summer, obviously.
00:14:41And then Nuno leaves.
00:14:43And then, obviously, as you said, there's not very much time for anything.
00:14:45And then a new manager's going to come in and have to work with those players
00:14:48and try and get the team to be cohesive.
00:14:51It feels, doesn't it, almost counterproductive.
00:14:54Especially when it's a different style.
00:14:55We know that it's a completely different style to what Nuno had.
00:14:59Now, I know the results at the end of last season didn't go as well as they wanted.
00:15:04But it's a completely different style.
00:15:06A lot of those players were brought in for that particular system
00:15:09and worked and loved that system.
00:15:12It was always going to take time to change.
00:15:14But we know you haven't got that.
00:15:16But still, five games is crazy.
00:15:18Well, it moves fast, doesn't it?
00:15:19Who knows what the next 24 hours is going to bring there.
00:15:21OK, well, both meetings between Crystal Palace and Bournemouth
00:15:24finished goalless last season.
00:15:26Fingers crossed, everyone.
00:15:27Your commentator is Robin Cowan.
00:15:31Recent meetings might not have lived long in the memory between these two.
00:15:35But they're both on course for unforgettable seasons.
00:15:37Palace's club record 19-match unbeaten run was ended by Everton
00:15:42before the international break.
00:15:44But Oliver Glasner goes with the same team that lost on Merseyside.
00:15:47Jean-Philippe Mateta scored on his full international debut for France
00:15:51over the break, proving the doubters, including allegedly,
00:15:54a few of his former teammates, wrong.
00:15:56Former Zantoine Semenyo also had something to celebrate,
00:15:59helping Ghana to qualify for the World Cup.
00:16:01He's been involved in nine goals in seven appearances this season for the Cherries.
00:16:05David Brooks and Evan Nielsen are out injured.
00:16:07It's three changes from the victory over Fulham.
00:16:10First Premier League starts for Eli Kruppi and Alex Jimenez.
00:16:13Justin Kluivert also comes in.
00:16:17The form of the 1-4 of their last six Premier League games,
00:16:21but it's just two wins in their last nine away from home.
00:16:25Only defeat this season, opening day at Anfield.
00:16:28Kluivert's corner towards the near post.
00:16:46It's another chance here, swung up towards the middle,
00:16:49well defended by Gay.
00:16:51Sarr is down for Crystal Palace.
00:16:54Wicked one from Kluivert, and it's Helton at the back post.
00:17:10Eli Kruppi!
00:17:19Stung Selhurst Park!
00:17:24Well, Kruppi just had to help her over the line a couple of inches out,
00:17:27but he was totally on track there
00:17:30on his first start in the Premier League.
00:17:33Just 19 years old.
00:17:38Already his second goal for Bournemouth.
00:17:42Here's Pino.
00:17:47Meteta!
00:17:53He's got to be hitting the target, really, those opportunities.
00:17:55Well, it's been a good response.
00:17:59Nothing to show for it so far.
00:18:05Semenyo bursting forward.
00:18:08Getting away from Richards.
00:18:10Gay's clearance isn't enough.
00:18:12And it's another for Bournemouth,
00:18:14and it's another for Eli Kruppi!
00:18:16A devastating break.
00:18:21The Semenyo centre wasn't really dealt with by Gay.
00:18:27Could he have turned it behind for a corner?
00:18:29Either way, he's presented it straight to Kruppi,
00:18:32who was in the right place,
00:18:33and showed real composure
00:18:35to slam it past Henderson.
00:18:38Take something special from Palace,
00:18:40or a big collapse from Bournemouth
00:18:42to change the outcome of the points.
00:18:47No foul on Scott.
00:18:49Sarr, that will be one.
00:18:51Seneci, mistimed.
00:18:57Yellow card for Marcos Seneci.
00:19:01Oh, was it a denial of a goal-scoring opportunity?
00:19:05They are recommending that Jared Gillett goes to the screen.
00:19:15Did catch him with the studs.
00:19:18A nervous wait for Marcos Seneci.
00:19:26Let's see what Jared Gillett has to say.
00:19:28After a view, the original decision of yellow card to number five stands.
00:19:40The player is moving slightly wide, and there is a covering defender.
00:19:44Well, Jared Gillett has stuck by his decision.
00:19:48We don't see that very often, but happy that this is far enough from goal
00:19:54that that shouldn't warrant a red card.
00:19:57Lacroix, Mateta.
00:20:04Lacroix, Mateta.
00:20:07Finds Sartre.
00:20:09Munoz.
00:20:10Mateta!
00:20:11A brilliant goal for Palace.
00:20:17It's been ruled out.
00:20:21There was an offside during this move somewhere.
00:20:27It's another very long check.
00:20:28And Jean-Felipe Mateta has put Palace back in the game.
00:20:41So this changes the mood somewhat.
00:20:47Holmesdale road end are roaring.
00:20:50Camarda.
00:20:57Munoz!
00:20:58Mateta!
00:21:05Total delirium at Selhurst Park.
00:21:08It's another tremendously worked goal from Palace.
00:21:13He's missed a few today,
00:21:15but he's taken two brilliantly.
00:21:18What a week.
00:21:24Bournemouth have been on the back foot ever since they conceded that first goal,
00:21:28but promising move forward here.
00:21:32Tabanir!
00:21:34It's put away by Ryan Christie!
00:21:39Two minutes of the 90 remaining.
00:21:44Lovely move down the left.
00:21:46Tavernier with the pullback.
00:21:53And the fresh legs of Ryan Christie.
00:21:56Got himself into a perfect position
00:21:58to potentially score the winner here.
00:22:05Richards, bouncing ball, deflected, away for a corner.
00:22:09Here we go.
00:22:17It's dropping.
00:22:18Where is it dropping?
00:22:20Richards, LaCroix.
00:22:22Another big deflection.
00:22:25Another corner.
00:22:26Here we go again.
00:22:31High looping.
00:22:33Wrestling match in the box.
00:22:35Oh, it's a penalty!
00:22:38Gay went down.
00:22:42It's being looked at.
00:22:43But Jared Gillett had a good view of this.
00:22:48He's surprised if he changed his mind here.
00:22:50One more chapter to this match.
00:22:57Mateta!
00:23:04Mateta!
00:23:11Cool as you like.
00:23:14Mateta takes home the match ball.
00:23:16Tannis wants to win this.
00:23:21Set forward by Henderson.
00:23:23Mateta wins the header.
00:23:25And Ketia!
00:23:26Mateta!
00:23:27Mateta!
00:23:31Oh!
00:23:32We are all Oliver Glasner now.
00:23:35Chance for the winner.
00:23:38He's snatched at that.
00:23:39What entertainment.
00:23:43These two have served up this afternoon.
00:23:47I cannot be happy.
00:23:48I'm not pleased.
00:23:49I'm upset.
00:23:50I'm angry.
00:23:50As you want.
00:23:51Because the call we've received in the 96th minute.
00:23:54I cannot accept it.
00:23:55I think the VAR has been influenced by the previous decision when he has called the referee.
00:23:59The referee has watched the play.
00:24:01Doesn't attend.
00:24:02His correction.
00:24:03And then probably the VAR has decided I'm not going to intervene anymore.
00:24:06I didn't think it was going to be quite that eventful.
00:24:08But it was.
00:24:09And yeah.
00:24:10I think in the end maybe a draw is fair.
00:24:13Questionable last penalty call.
00:24:14But that's football at the end of the day, isn't it?
00:24:17I'm so proud of the performance today.
00:24:20And not just the result.
00:24:22But how we played.
00:24:23How many chances we created.
00:24:25And we have also a big credit to Bournemouth.
00:24:28They were so ruthless today.
00:24:30Every chance was a goal.
00:24:31So they had eight finishes overall.
00:24:32And three goals.
00:24:34But the mentality of the team.
00:24:36The way we played.
00:24:37The problems we caused them.
00:24:39And it's incredible what these players are doing.
00:24:41I want to win every game.
00:24:43And I think I have the ball to win this game.
00:24:47Even if I score a hat-trick.
00:24:50It's up to me to score that goal.
00:24:52And I didn't score.
00:24:54That's why I'm like that.
00:24:55What a game this was.
00:24:58And we'll get on to Iriola's comments there.
00:25:01And the penalty incident in a minute.
00:25:02But Jean-Philippe Mateta had a fantastic day.
00:25:05You have to go back to 2016 for a player to score a hat-trick in a home game.
00:25:08And not get a win.
00:25:09Andy Carroll.
00:25:10For West Ham.
00:25:10Well, first of all, I've got to say two really excellent sides.
00:25:13And it was a brilliant game.
00:25:15But Mateta, he's just really, really difficult to play against.
00:25:19Defenders, you know, do not enjoy playing against this guy.
00:25:23He's awkward.
00:25:24He's as game as they come.
00:25:26He'll run in behind.
00:25:27I mean, he actually should have had a hat-trick in the first half.
00:25:30Could have had a hat-trick in the first half.
00:25:31That was the most difficult one.
00:25:33His movement is really, really good.
00:25:36That's a fantastic ball in.
00:25:37And he should score again.
00:25:38This is probably the best chance in the first half.
00:25:41Falls to him in a nice position again.
00:25:44Just can't get the connection that he wants.
00:25:47But then all of a sudden, I said about his movement.
00:25:49Hold up players, excellent.
00:25:50Bringing people into the game.
00:25:52But his movement.
00:25:53To get into the six-yard box after he's played the pass.
00:25:57That's the impressive thing.
00:25:58His movement again.
00:25:59The defender's with him.
00:26:01And then two seconds later, he's not.
00:26:02Because of, as I said, his movement again.
00:26:04And that's a clever finish.
00:26:06Then he gets his penalty.
00:26:08His hat-trick goal.
00:26:09And you're thinking, he can't, can he?
00:26:12And this was the easiest one of the lot, wasn't it?
00:26:15I mean, he's leaning back.
00:26:16And anyone that understands French can understand what he's about to say.
00:26:20There you go.
00:26:21It's not very often you see someone scoring a hat-trick
00:26:26and be so disappointed at the end of the game.
00:26:29But look at those stats.
00:26:30I mean, 11 shots.
00:26:31Shots inside the box.
00:26:32Nine.
00:26:33As I said, he's hat-trick.
00:26:34But I love the way he plays.
00:26:37Because he's a nightmare for defenders.
00:26:39So Bournemouth feel a little bit hard done by.
00:26:40That they ended up not getting all three points.
00:26:43And Iriola's point was that the referee perhaps wasn't going to be called over
00:26:47to go and have a little look at the screen.
00:26:49Because he'd been called over earlier and not changed his on-field decision.
00:26:53No, I don't.
00:26:55I think he's clutching there, to be honest.
00:26:58But in terms of the penalty, I think it's actually quite harsh.
00:27:02I think Diakete there on Geyi.
00:27:05The only problem, he's not looking at the ball.
00:27:07And the referee had warned him beforehand.
00:27:10So he was going to give the penalty in this moment.
00:27:14But I still think it's a little bit harsh.
00:27:15Because they're both going back and forth with each other.
00:27:18And to give that, yeah.
00:27:19I think you need to see the consistency also.
00:27:22I get why he's given that.
00:27:23But let's hope that another referee would do the same next weekend.
00:27:26What about 19-year-old Kruppi?
00:27:28Getting two on his first start.
00:27:29First start as well.
00:27:30Two goals, yeah.
00:27:31Very, very good.
00:27:32And it's that recruitment that Bournemouth obviously have to be so good at, don't they?
00:27:36Well, we spoke about the defensive situation that they've done so well
00:27:39in recruiting the players.
00:27:40Got a forward there on his first start.
00:27:42He's got a couple of goals.
00:27:43Brilliant.
00:27:439th and 12th, the finishes that he's had so far, Iriola, as Bournemouth manager.
00:27:47You know, where can they realistically push on to?
00:27:50It depends who they keep.
00:27:53I think Alan's exactly right.
00:27:55The recruitment's been excellent.
00:27:57I think when we talk about Brighton and what they have done,
00:28:01but Iriola and the people down there have done a brilliant job.
00:28:05I think for him, when he first came to the club, I was thinking, what is he trying to do?
00:28:11And when he first came, he was pushing really high and some of the results wasn't going their way.
00:28:15But the way he's managed to lose players, get players in and still buy into the system what they're doing
00:28:20and do it with effect, he's just a top coach.
00:28:23He really is.
00:28:24And the players that they lose, you know, they go to Paris Saint-Germain, they go to Liverpool.
00:28:27They, you know, they're selling for big money to big clubs, big moves as well.
00:28:31So, as a player, it would be quite an attractive place to go.
00:28:34And I also think when you're looking at the players, what he does, I think, really well
00:28:39is gives his players the freedom to go and play.
00:28:41Just go and express yourselves and you can see they're enjoying their football.
00:28:44OK.
00:28:45Well, in form, Manchester City faced Everton with an excellent record in this fixture.
00:28:50The Toffees' last league win at City came 15 years ago during David Moyes' first spell in charge.
00:28:55Steve Bauer, watch this one.
00:28:56Manchester City back at the Etihad where they've won seven of their last eight Premier League games.
00:29:04But they must do without the injured Rodri today.
00:29:07So, Nico Gonzalez starts.
00:29:09There are also recalls for Doku and Ake and Marmouche returns as a substitute.
00:29:15Everton are unable to play on loan Jack Grealish against his parent club.
00:29:19But they are able to welcome back Kiernan Dewsbury Hall after suspension.
00:29:23Beto has preferred to Barry up front.
00:29:25Alcaraz preferred to Dibbling and Keane is fit to start.
00:29:32Everton.
00:29:33To say they are due a win against Manchester City.
00:29:36There's something of an understatement.
00:29:38One victory in 24 Premier League meetings.
00:29:43It was a little loose from Ake.
00:29:45And Njais onto it.
00:29:46Beto trying to get into the penalty area.
00:29:48There he is.
00:29:50And he's wondering just how he didn't make the all-important contact.
00:29:55Excellent try from Njais.
00:29:57And subsequent ball.
00:29:59Oh, and that's how close Beto was.
00:30:01As did Garner there on Haaland.
00:30:12City keen to keep things moving.
00:30:15Nunes.
00:30:15Savino.
00:30:20Really nicely tied ball into Savino.
00:30:24Almost had too much time to think about it.
00:30:28Now the landmark today.
00:30:30His 350th Premier League game as a manager.
00:30:33Not done too badly in the previous 349, has he?
00:30:40Again, Savino.
00:30:41That time Mikelenko got his foot in.
00:30:44And City have their second corner of the game.
00:30:49Now, yeah.
00:30:49It's a score from a corner in the Premier League this season.
00:30:53Everton will hope that continues here.
00:30:55Oh, it nearly didn't.
00:30:56Well, Pickford didn't move here.
00:31:00So congested.
00:31:02It would have been an own goal.
00:31:03Off Jake O'Brien.
00:31:07Njais for Everton.
00:31:08Trying to get numbers forward.
00:31:10Alcaraz is bursting down the left-hand side.
00:31:13Here comes Adresa Gay.
00:31:16He's trying to pick out Alcaraz.
00:31:18Fantastic defending from Reinders.
00:31:22Here's Njais.
00:31:23Such a box of tricks.
00:31:24Ilian Njais.
00:31:26Turned over by Donnarumma.
00:31:29With his first save of the game.
00:31:31But in those moments, Everton have looked a threat on the break.
00:31:36Top scorer Njais has been at the heart of most of it.
00:31:45Alcaraz looking for the run of Dewsbury Hall.
00:31:47Harland with the block.
00:31:49And Harland's now on the charge here for Manchester City.
00:31:52Reinders.
00:31:53Doku!
00:31:54Denied by Pickford.
00:31:56And cleared by Mikhelenko.
00:32:00And in the blink of an eye, from that, with Everton in possession on halfway,
00:32:05Manchester City sense something.
00:32:08And in the end, it was straight at Jordan Pickford.
00:32:11It's been a fascinating battle, this.
00:32:12It's been a fascinating battle, this.
00:32:12The Brazilian against the Ukrainian.
00:32:14The Brazilian against the Ukrainian.
00:32:15The Brazilian won this one.
00:32:15And he caught that much better.
00:32:16The Brazilian against the Ukrainian.
00:32:16The Brazilian won this one.
00:32:17And he caught that much better.
00:32:18And the Brazilian against the Ukrainian.
00:32:20The Brazilian against the Ukrainian.
00:32:21The Brazilian against the Brazilian.
00:32:22And he caught that much better.
00:32:25who's around Michalenko, it's Savinho, Jordan Pickford to the rescue again
00:32:32and he's virtually the last kick of this first half
00:32:35it's been a fascinating battle this, the Brazilian against the Ukrainian
00:32:39the Brazilian won this one and he caught that much better
00:32:51Clodin, now that's a nicely weighted ball, O'Reilly in
00:32:55there he is, we've hardly mentioned his name
00:32:59but the main man steps forward again
00:33:02Erling Haaland into double Premier League figures already for this season
00:33:08forget touches of the ball, forget goal involvements
00:33:12this is what he's all about
00:33:14and from the moment O'Reilly was looking to cross that
00:33:18he was on the move, there's the look from O'Reilly, lovely delivery
00:33:22and the end result was never ever in doubt
00:33:27deadlock broken and no surprise with the name on the score sheet
00:33:33and incidentally that's the third time that Haaland has been into double figures in the first eight league games of the season
00:33:42come as no surprise, nobody else has managed that
00:33:49Oskar Bob
00:33:50a lovely turn from Foden
00:33:54has picked out Savinho
00:33:56Haaland wants it pulled back
00:33:59and Haaland makes it two
00:34:02Erling Haaland at the double
00:34:06two in five second half minutes
00:34:10have a completely different complexion on this game
00:34:14talk about enjoying his football
00:34:17what a spell
00:34:19what a spell
00:34:20he's enjoying
00:34:21demanded it here
00:34:23pulled away
00:34:24I think that went through the legs of Tarkovsky
00:34:27which deceived Pickford
00:34:29two for Haaland
00:34:31and two for Manchester City
00:34:33Foden
00:34:40he's looking for Haaland
00:34:42now then
00:34:43here's the hat-trick opportunity
00:34:45undenied by Pickford
00:34:47he's on it again
00:34:49that time blocked
00:34:51and followed in and wide
00:34:53from Cherki
00:34:55but for all the delight of the two goals
00:34:59that will eat away at him
00:35:01on the verge of a 28 career hat-trick
00:35:04and the majority of the Etihad
00:35:07expected him here to complete it
00:35:09Pickford's left hand first
00:35:11and then Tarkovsky's block
00:35:21Dibling on Cherki
00:35:22silly yellow card for Tyler Dibling
00:35:29here goes Haaland
00:35:31is it this time?
00:35:33no!
00:35:34denied by Pickford again
00:35:36Oscar Bobbs picked it up
00:35:39Haaland again
00:35:41he slams the turf in sheer frustration
00:35:47brilliant movement
00:35:51really well found
00:35:53the length of Pickford this time
00:35:57denied him the match ball
00:36:00this one
00:36:02wouldn't quite come down for him
00:36:03a lot of work
00:36:05they were not easy at all
00:36:06and the first half more troubled
00:36:11we couldn't really settle our game
00:36:13and a completely different second half
00:36:15and three points
00:36:17when you've got Erling in the form that he's in
00:36:19what are five minutes again for him to turn the game around?
00:36:23we cannot rely on completely the team and him
00:36:26so we need
00:36:27we need other players
00:36:28you know
00:36:29wingers, stacking midfielders
00:36:30and other ones
00:36:31we need
00:36:32we need to
00:36:34they have to make a step up to score goals
00:36:36of course we play to
00:36:38you know to provide Erling
00:36:40the quality they have
00:36:41the passes and score goals
00:36:43but
00:36:44other players have to
00:36:45to do it again
00:36:46the job against a lot of the better teams than us
00:36:48is to make sure we challenge them
00:36:49when we put in a performance
00:36:50and when we put in a performance
00:36:51and for long periods of the game we did
00:36:53so we move on
00:36:54I'm disappointed with the result
00:36:56not with how the players performed today
00:36:58Well because he was the outstanding player today
00:37:01I think we should have a little bit of time to really kind of wax lyrical about Erling Haaland
00:37:06and have a look at that
00:37:07that's the quickest players to reach ten Premier League goals
00:37:10and Erling Haaland occupies the top three places
00:37:12there is of course a Newcastle United legend on there
00:37:15but it's not you
00:37:16Sir Les
00:37:17It's Les
00:37:18Les Ferdinand
00:37:19What happened Alan?
00:37:20Was he a streaky striker was he?
00:37:21Err
00:37:22yeah I remember when one goal every game was alright
00:37:25but not anymore was it
00:37:26Yeah you took ten
00:37:27you took ten games
00:37:2892-93
00:37:29not good enough
00:37:30He was today at his unplayable best at times wasn't he?
00:37:33Yeah I mean it seems quite ridiculous me doing an analysis piece on a striker
00:37:37where we've got Alan Shearer
00:37:39record Premier League goalscorer
00:37:41but I want to talk about from a defensive point of view
00:37:44what Everton did
00:37:45so as we roll it on here
00:37:48er
00:37:49it's really interesting with Haaland's movement
00:37:52they always talk about it doesn't have many touches
00:37:55but it's his smart movement
00:37:57and Keane there can see him
00:37:59it's absolutely perfect
00:38:01and as we roll it on now
00:38:03Haaland can see the back of his shirt
00:38:06so
00:38:07can we just hold it there for a moment
00:38:09we always talk as a defender
00:38:11now to defend the space
00:38:13he has to run back as quick as possible
00:38:15the two centre half
00:38:16into that space
00:38:17and Haaland knows he can outrun him
00:38:20but what he decides to do
00:38:22as we roll it on here now
00:38:24is just check his run
00:38:26and that is IQ
00:38:28and it's unbelievable
00:38:30game football intelligence
00:38:32again here
00:38:33absolutely outstanding
00:38:35just gets in
00:38:37these
00:38:38brilliant positions
00:38:39where he just
00:38:40holds his run
00:38:41perfect
00:38:42now if we hold it here
00:38:43okay
00:38:44as the ball for Man City
00:38:45goes out wide
00:38:46as a centre half
00:38:48you have to
00:38:49protect the near post
00:38:50so
00:38:51as we run it on slowly here
00:38:53Tarkovsky is
00:38:55in two minds
00:38:56whether to drop back
00:38:58or to go to the danger
00:38:59which is Haaland
00:39:01it's too late for Pickford
00:39:03he sees it
00:39:04but the next clip
00:39:05is my absolute favourite
00:39:07we'll just stop it here
00:39:09for a moment
00:39:10Keane there
00:39:11is in a perfect position
00:39:13you see Foden
00:39:14on the ball there
00:39:15so when Foden's
00:39:16on the ball now
00:39:17how you learnt to defend
00:39:19if he's got time and space
00:39:20you have dropped off
00:39:22he's dropped off
00:39:23he's given himself
00:39:24five yards
00:39:25we roll on the ball
00:39:26we roll it on now
00:39:27as he plays that pass
00:39:29Haaland still gets it
00:39:31and that's what
00:39:32we talk about
00:39:33unplayable
00:39:34defenders are doing
00:39:35the right things
00:39:37but they still can't
00:39:38defend him
00:39:39when he's in this form
00:39:40he really is unstoppable
00:39:42and his goal record
00:39:43this season
00:39:44what's he got
00:39:4523 goals in 13 games
00:39:47for club and country
00:39:48it's just phenomenal
00:39:50yeah let's have a look at
00:39:51where that puts him
00:39:52in kind of Europe's elite
00:39:53if you like
00:39:54and again
00:39:55Harry Kane was scoring
00:39:56tonight for Bayern Munich
00:39:57but look
00:39:58this is club and country
00:39:59and his rate of scoring
00:40:01is the best
00:40:02in Europe
00:40:03this season
00:40:04he's got everything on him
00:40:05yeah I mean
00:40:06you're talking about
00:40:07three amazing players there
00:40:08but for me
00:40:09if you're building
00:40:10from scratch
00:40:11what you want
00:40:12as the ideal
00:40:13centre forward
00:40:14look at Haaland
00:40:16I mean
00:40:17he's got
00:40:18obviously the goals
00:40:19pace, movement
00:40:20strength
00:40:21good in the air
00:40:22he doesn't mind
00:40:23being roughed up
00:40:24it doesn't bother him
00:40:25it doesn't have
00:40:26five or six touches
00:40:27within a minute
00:40:28it always has
00:40:29one touch per half
00:40:30so long as that touch
00:40:31is a goal
00:40:32there's not many players
00:40:33like that
00:40:34so for me
00:40:35he's almost perfect
00:40:37he really is
00:40:38it's
00:40:39he's a fantastic talent
00:40:41I love watching him
00:40:42and we're lucky to have him
00:40:44in our league
00:40:45and obviously Man City
00:40:46have got an incredible player
00:40:47on their hands
00:40:48and they needed him
00:40:49because the first half
00:40:50there wasn't much there
00:40:51was there?
00:40:52yeah I think Everton had
00:40:53some really good chances
00:40:54with Beto
00:40:55but in the end the quality
00:40:56shone through
00:40:57okay thank you very much
00:40:58well

00:41:42just three goals
00:41:43conceded in ten games
00:41:44in all
00:41:45it's their best ever
00:41:46defensive start
00:41:47Fulham went into this
00:41:49having lost their previous two
00:41:50last lost three league games
00:41:52in a row
00:41:53in December 23
00:41:54but at home
00:41:55they're a different proposition
00:41:59he's in minutes
00:42:04and Berger
00:42:05to Wilson
00:42:06went to plant it
00:42:09really decent start here
00:42:10by Fulham
00:42:12causing this morning's
00:42:13league leaders problems
00:42:15warmed up his body
00:42:16to try and bend it in
00:42:18to add to the goal
00:42:19he scored against Brentford
00:42:20back in September
00:42:24all a little bit slow from Arsenal
00:42:25in possession
00:42:26not a lot of movement up front
00:42:28Canofiore's now made a dash into the middle
00:42:30he's found by Trasada
00:42:32scores
00:42:33quarter of an hour gone
00:42:34but there's a flag up
00:42:36and it won't count
00:42:38that's a real moment of invention from Arsenal in the game
00:42:41Canofiore breaking lines with his run
00:42:43lovely finish mind you
00:42:45lovely finish mind you
00:42:46but it won't count
00:42:53he's as it
00:42:54again dwelt on it too long
00:42:56and King will race away for Fulham
00:42:59chased by Zubomendi
00:43:00who leaves him
00:43:01to Gabriel
00:43:03still King
00:43:06ooh
00:43:07deceptive
00:43:08right
00:43:09had to say
00:43:10he didn't mean it
00:43:11he was looking for Iwobi in the middle
00:43:13he's had work
00:43:14maybe he did mean it
00:43:16he'll say he did
00:43:18Timber has Saka down the line
00:43:20as they're making a run as well
00:43:22just inside him
00:43:23but again good work by Fulham here
00:43:24now there's a gap
00:43:25Saka
00:43:26onto Jokeres
00:43:27is he on-site
00:43:28carried by Leino
00:43:29Trasada leaps for the loose ball
00:43:31and connected by the keeper
00:43:32second time
00:43:34Jokeros played on by Castagne
00:43:36fizzed the shot in Leino
00:43:38got down to it well
00:43:40that's the best we've seen from Arsenal
00:43:43Mick Jagger
00:43:44watching on
00:43:51Arsenal
00:43:52finishing the first half strongly
00:43:56Saka
00:43:57to take on Sessegnor
00:43:58oh that's dangerous
00:43:59the cross in
00:44:00comes out of Calafiore
00:44:01good hit!
00:44:03couldn't keep it down
00:44:04get it full flat on the left foot volley
00:44:07Arsenal beginning to create
00:44:09Timber looks for Saka
00:44:14to take on Sessegnor
00:44:16and he's got away from him here
00:44:18Saka
00:44:19still going
00:44:20pokes it square
00:44:21it's come up a defender
00:44:22in the end
00:44:23just about cleared away by Castagne
00:44:24determined run by
00:44:26Bakaio Saka
00:44:28the Arsenal captain
00:44:29picked it up there
00:44:30got away from Sessegnor
00:44:32stayed on his feet
00:44:33that's a heavy touch
00:44:34but he was too strong in that challenge
00:44:37the game that Arsenal would have expected to win
00:44:41Berger
00:44:42and King has wrestled it
00:44:45the way of Fulham
00:44:46Jimenez
00:44:47managed to scramble it on to Wilson
00:44:49back it goes
00:44:50look for Raul Jimenez
00:44:51vital touch by Timber
00:44:52Iwobi
00:44:53back through the penalty
00:44:54and Wilson arrives
00:44:56Fulham fans respond
00:44:58crescendo of noise
00:45:00tenacity
00:45:02endeavour
00:45:03clever
00:45:04and in the end
00:45:05the ball was played back
00:45:06by Iwobi
00:45:07met it true enough
00:45:08but couldn't keep it down
00:45:10come on Fulham
00:45:11is the cry
00:45:14Zubamendi
00:45:15there's Timber down
00:45:16the right-hand side
00:45:17keeping Ben
00:45:18wide out of the team
00:45:19because he's a
00:45:20more attacking threat
00:45:22Saka's squeezed it through
00:45:23to Eza
00:45:24Jokres
00:45:25that's a good challenge
00:45:27it's a good challenge
00:45:28and Cuenca stayed down
00:45:29again
00:45:30he's holding his face
00:45:31just got bumped there
00:45:33from Jokres
00:45:37Fulham
00:45:38determinedly
00:45:39have held on for 57 minutes
00:45:42in comes the cross
00:45:43it's in this time
00:45:45Trossard
00:45:46score of many
00:45:47an important goal
00:45:48was in there
00:45:49did he get the touch?
00:45:50he thinks he did
00:45:51Gabriel was involved as well
00:45:53Arsenal lead
00:45:5558 minutes gone
00:45:56Trossard arriving at the far post
00:45:58the deadlock is broken
00:46:00one of the near post
00:46:02by Gabriel
00:46:03and there's
00:46:04the Belgian international
00:46:05to force it in
00:46:06coach's goal
00:46:07for Trossard
00:46:10well the best teams find a way
00:46:13if they can hold on to this lead
00:46:16then Arsenal
00:46:17would have come through
00:46:18a tricky day
00:46:21Saka
00:46:22taking on Kevin
00:46:23that is going to be a penalty kick
00:46:30risky challenge by the substitute
00:46:32it's the first thing he's done since coming on
00:46:37VAR
00:46:38was asking the question
00:46:39whether the ball was touched
00:46:41sure Atwell has told Anthony Taylor to go to the monitor
00:46:46he's made contact with the ball
00:46:48there
00:46:49the ball moves
00:46:50off the contact
00:46:51from the foot
00:46:53this has to be overturned
00:46:54the decision
00:46:55and here comes the referee
00:46:57after review
00:46:58and we'll hear his description
00:46:59full of 22 makes a challenge
00:47:03and plays the ball
00:47:05therefore no foul is committed
00:47:07no penalty
00:47:08no penalty
00:47:15Martinelli
00:47:18squeezes the pass out wide to Saka
00:47:21Timbers there ahead of him
00:47:23into Jokrez again
00:47:24back to goal
00:47:25good swivel
00:47:26it's parried
00:47:28and that's a good double save
00:47:29Martinelli denied in the end
00:47:31well there you can see what Jokrez can do
00:47:34decent save
00:47:35and then the follow up save
00:47:36from Martinelli
00:47:37was just as good
00:47:39we came to a really difficult place
00:47:40we had experience in the last two seasons
00:47:42not winning here
00:47:43and we wanted to
00:47:44make another step
00:47:45against that really good side
00:47:47and keep knocking on the door
00:47:48and keep insisting
00:47:49because the way
00:47:50they play
00:47:51demands that
00:47:52but I'm very happy
00:47:53at the point
00:47:54the corner was taken
00:47:55I saw Gabi go in a duel
00:47:57and I went to the back post
00:47:59when it happened
00:48:00so I'm really pleased
00:48:01the ball came there
00:48:02and did the last job
00:48:04where Gabriels jumped
00:48:06so high
00:48:07that it's almost impossible
00:48:08if you don't stop him
00:48:09in the run
00:48:10and we try it
00:48:11most of the time
00:48:12we did very well
00:48:13in our defensive set pieces
00:48:14in that moment
00:48:15he jumped
00:48:16in a way
00:48:17that was very difficult
00:48:18for us to control
00:48:19that's the best ever
00:48:21defensive start
00:48:22in Arsenal's history
00:48:23yeah
00:48:24I'm so happy
00:48:26for the team
00:48:27for everyone
00:48:28because we work very hard
00:48:29and training
00:48:30every day
00:48:31and yeah
00:48:32that's the reward
00:48:33we get as well
00:48:34if you keep a clean sheet
00:48:35you need only one goal
00:48:36to win a game
00:48:37and it was a tough game
00:48:38for us today
00:48:39and we did it that way
00:48:40well Jonathan said it there
00:48:42they are the best defensively
00:48:43in Europe
00:48:44they've gone back to back games
00:48:45now without letting the opposition
00:48:46have a shot
00:48:47first time in 22 years
00:48:48so what's improved
00:48:49because they were already good
00:48:50last season defensively
00:48:51yeah I think they defend
00:48:53really well as a team
00:48:55in all parts of the pitch
00:48:57so I just want to show you
00:48:58the first clip
00:48:59you would say this is a high block
00:49:01if Alan you forgive me
00:49:02for saying that
00:49:03but in terms of
00:49:05it was a throw in
00:49:06and look at the reaction
00:49:07from Gabriel
00:49:08to get back in
00:49:10now you've got a 4
00:49:11versus 4
00:49:12and as the clip materialises
00:49:16the ball goes wide
00:49:18Gabriel's back into position
00:49:21the ball's going to get circulated
00:49:22around again
00:49:24and before you know it
00:49:26you've got the whole team
00:49:28behind the ball
00:49:29that is defending
00:49:31as a group
00:49:32as a team
00:49:33knowing exactly
00:49:34what they need to do
00:49:35so you've had the high block
00:49:36now we're in the mid block
00:49:37Arsenal on the ball
00:49:39they give away the ball
00:49:40sloppily
00:49:41and
00:49:42you think in this situation
00:49:44will they panic
00:49:45nope
00:49:46Rice
00:49:47sails Gabriel to go left
00:49:48Calafiore
00:49:49doubles up with him
00:49:50Rice goes into the centre back
00:49:51position
00:49:52absolute brilliant
00:49:53defending
00:49:54so they've had the high
00:49:55we've had the middle
00:49:56and this is what they've been doing
00:49:57especially in the Champions League
00:49:58against really good sides
00:50:00in that low block
00:50:01saying to Fulham
00:50:02play around us
00:50:04because you're not going to play through us
00:50:05and if they do get through
00:50:07it's going to have to be something
00:50:08exceptional to really do that
00:50:11nice and compact
00:50:13excellent
00:50:14and
00:50:15yeah
00:50:16I mean
00:50:17the compactness in the centre of the pitch
00:50:19of this team
00:50:20is just brilliant
00:50:21so the conclusion of that
00:50:23if they continue to do this
00:50:25last season they drew 1-0
00:50:26today they get the win
00:50:27and if they want to win the league
00:50:28they need to carry on
00:50:29with this form
00:50:30because look at that
00:50:31goals conceded first
00:50:32clean sheets first
00:50:33big chances against first
00:50:35XG
00:50:36and the rest is history
00:50:38and
00:50:39may well be
00:50:40may be
00:50:41as you allude to there
00:50:42defensively yes
00:50:43very very strong
00:50:44they've scored the same amount of goals
00:50:45at this stage as they did last year
00:50:46which is 15 goals
00:50:47and all season long
00:50:48we were hearing
00:50:49they really need a centre forward
00:50:50they need somebody who can
00:50:51you know bag them a load of goals
00:50:52they buy
00:50:53the centre forward in Jokeres
00:50:54and he hasn't got the goals
00:50:55No
00:50:56but has he helped improve them
00:50:57Yeah he hasn't got the goals
00:50:58I mean he's not in the league
00:50:59of the three we showed in the previous clip
00:51:02far from that
00:51:03but I think he brings a different strength
00:51:05there's no doubt that he will have to improve his goal scoring
00:51:08as you said he's only got three
00:51:10but one of his strengths which has suited Arsenal is
00:51:13he actually goes the other way
00:51:14he goes in behind
00:51:15and I think when he does that
00:51:17that then creates space for others to play
00:51:20because last season you had maybe Havertz or Mourinho
00:51:24coming short and that's easier for teams to defend against
00:51:28but when you're running the other way they get deeper and deeper
00:51:31deeper that then opens the space up for others to play
00:51:33so I think from that point of view
00:51:36he has improved Arsenal
00:51:38and will he get the goals?
00:51:39Do you feel like he can?
00:51:40I think he will get the goals
00:51:41obviously nowhere near as many as he got last season
00:51:43but he will get the goals
00:51:44with the number of chances that Arsenal create
00:51:47he will and his numbers should improve
00:51:49OK, two games on tomorrow's match of the day
00:51:52and the goodness has the chance now
00:51:56and it's in!
00:51:58Marlen a chance for his second
00:52:00and a lethal finish in the Dutchman
00:52:02Gatto scores for Liverpool
00:52:06Chester United
00:52:07Chester United
00:52:08Chester United
00:52:09Chester United
00:52:15There's live commentary of both of those games on BBC Sounds tomorrow

00:52:35Winless Wolves travelled to face a Sunderland side
00:52:39unbeaten at home since returning to the top flight
00:52:41your commentator is Guy Mowbray
00:52:44It's been a more than decent start by Sunderland
00:52:47and a very successful return to the Premier League
00:52:50for Granit Xhaka
00:52:51he's provided the assist for all the team's last three goals
00:52:54and has fond memories of Wolves from last time he played them
00:52:57scoring twice in his final Arsenal appearance
00:53:00a 5-0 win in May 2023
00:53:03fellow 33-year-old Matt Doherty is the only one playing today
00:53:07who also figured the last time these clubs met
00:53:09way back in a division down in May 2018
00:53:12he missed Wolves' last game against Brighton following a wrist operation
00:53:16but he's quickly back to lead them in their quest for a first win of the season
00:53:21the Black Cats purring especially at home
00:53:25whilst Wolves are howling
00:53:27and if they don't get that first win here today or against Burnley next weekend
00:53:31then the anguish will be at a maximum
00:53:33Siddiqui
00:53:37Isidore
00:53:39Isidore
00:53:40Johnston scampers back towards his goal
00:53:42Isidore's got a lot to do
00:53:43but he's done it
00:53:45and now the flag goes up
00:53:47and now the flag goes up
00:53:50so Isidore's celebrations are cut short
00:53:53brilliantly finished by Wilson Isidore
00:53:56who is looking to carry on being Mr. 100% at home
00:54:00he's scored in every game at the Stadium of Light in the Premier League this season
00:54:03and for a brief moment he thought he'd done it again
00:54:06looking for a third home win already this season
00:54:11the last time they were in the Premier League in 2016-17
00:54:14they only won three at home all season
00:54:19Xhaka
00:54:23Le Fay effortlessly found by Xhaka
00:54:27he turns Doherty with ease as well
00:54:30here's Mukiele
00:54:32he's going for the return
00:54:35and he's scored
00:54:39what a wonderful Sunderland move
00:54:42finished off by Nardi Mukiele
00:54:44it's for Sunderland goal
00:54:46look at Mukiele
00:54:47as soon as he laid it off
00:54:50he demanded the return from Trey Hughes
00:54:54and he managed to get the shot
00:54:56through Sam Johnston
00:54:57who will feel that
00:54:59never mind should have saved it
00:55:00at one point
00:55:01he had saved it
00:55:02in Sunderland one
00:55:03Wolves nil
00:55:07Trey Oreck
00:55:10cut out by Ugo Buena
00:55:11Wolves have got to hang on just for the moment
00:55:13because Sunderland are well on top of Vitor Pereira's team
00:55:16helped on by Ballard
00:55:17and off the post
00:55:19Trey Hume so close to making it two
00:55:26see the cunt whirring in Trey Hume's mind
00:55:32head it kick it what do I do think he picked the right option
00:55:35very nearly scored
00:55:37Rigo Gomez was going for it
00:55:38Rigo Gomez was going for it
00:55:42Rigo Gomez was going away with it
00:55:47Rigo risky
00:55:48Ballard couldn't collect it
00:55:49Strand Larson couldn't convert it
00:55:51Rigo Gomez
00:55:55Wolves nearly gifted a way back into the game
00:55:58Andre
00:56:00and that one's flown
00:56:01it's felt like a half of two halves
00:56:06Sunderland on top for the first quarter
00:56:09the Wolves are well in this game
00:56:13Andre
00:56:15Rigo Gomez
00:56:18Rigo Gomez
00:56:20Rodrigo Gomez
00:56:25Lugo Bueno
00:56:26Rios knocks it down
00:56:28and Monezzi lets fly
00:56:32Roofs positioned absolutely brilliantly
00:56:36a really simple save for him because of where he started
00:56:40he's too close to the giant frame of Robin Roofs
00:56:42curling towards the goalkeeper all the time
00:56:46Siddiqui
00:56:49Lefe
00:56:50it's bounced off him
00:56:51the referee does now stop the game
00:56:55he was happy to see if some sort of advantage would develop
00:56:57but it didn't
00:57:06that's a difficult one to defend
00:57:07but
00:57:09Wolves have managed it
00:57:10Ballard couldn't get the touch at the end
00:57:14look at how this bounces
00:57:16a bit of spin on it
00:57:17that's what takes it away from
00:57:19the flying Ballard
00:57:21I think his expression
00:57:23rather sums up this second half
00:57:25so does theirs
00:57:26it was theirs
00:57:30Arakadari down to Strand Larson
00:57:33Arakadari misses it
00:57:36and then the chance is put wide
00:57:37and it was another big chance
00:57:40Chachua was in behind
00:57:43just wonder now if the Wolves candle has flickered out
00:57:47might be a case of them needing to have done more when they did have spells on top
00:57:51and for much of this half that's been the case
00:57:57Fair Lopes challenged by Alderete but he's got the better of him
00:58:02Fair Lopes puts the next ball into the Sunderland box
00:58:06frantic defending now
00:58:07and here Trouda's away with it
00:58:09and look at the break
00:58:11it's Talby
00:58:12he's got Le Fay up there
00:58:13he's got Mayenda further over
00:58:15and Johnston's been beaten by his own player
00:58:182-0 Sunderland
00:58:20own goal Critchie
00:58:21now the win is sealed
00:58:27Wolves rotten luck continues
00:58:31perhaps appropriately enough
00:58:33beaten by the Blackcats
00:58:35Talby leading the counter charge
00:58:38he was looking for Mayenda at the back
00:58:41Critchie knew he had to cut it out somehow
00:58:44but Johnston was completely wrong footed by that
00:58:47Wolves are staying bottom
00:58:48Sunderland are staying with that feeling of flying high in the Premier League
00:58:54was it a little bit anxious in the second half without that second goal on the board?
00:59:00yeah probably a bit because we are still a young team
00:59:04with limited shared experience
00:59:07so you can't buy maturity
00:59:11you have to experience different situations
00:59:13it wasn't another one
00:59:14and at least the mindset
00:59:18the togetherness
00:59:20helped us to keep this friendship
00:59:22we have two or three chances that we cannot lose
00:59:25we cannot miss
00:59:27that is football
00:59:29keep working
00:59:31and prepare the next game
00:59:34because this is a game that we need
00:59:36that we must win
00:59:38like today but
00:59:40we must score goals
00:59:41not concede goals
00:59:43and this is what we should do
00:59:45Nordi Mukieli
00:59:47he seems to sum this team up
00:59:49he plays happy football
00:59:51yeah absolutely absolutely
00:59:53he has a really good energy
00:59:55and he is really well connected with our project
00:59:58our team
01:00:00and he is a good player
01:00:02we play very well in the first half and the second
01:00:04and we scored two goals and we don't concede
01:00:07so this is really important for us
01:00:08for the team and for the confidence
01:00:11and yeah I am really happy also for my first goal at home
01:00:15and yeah just hope that we will keep going like we do
01:00:18because we did a really good game today
01:00:21well no spoilers but the fact that Sunderland are higher up the running order than Newcastle on the show
01:00:25and you are here might tell us something about what is going to happen in that match
01:00:28but let's not go down that road because actually huge credit to Sunderland for their start of the season
01:00:31have a little look at this 99 teams have been promoted to the Premier League in its history
01:00:37and they are joint fifth in the amount of points they have managed to accrue in their first eight games
01:00:43joint with obviously the teams there going up to Middlesbrough who are the only team out of that list who actually ended up being relegated
01:00:49so it's boding very well for them this start to the season and their home form
01:00:54so well I think they signed really good players
01:00:57yes they spent a lot of money but they brought quality into the squad
01:01:02Xhaka has been good, Muchielli as well
01:01:04and you want to give Sunderland some praise don't you Alan?
01:01:07well you watch this game Micah so you can talk about them
01:01:10but we did say about their home form was always going to be key
01:01:13and that has been part of their success
01:01:15161 million they spent, 14 players have been brought in
01:01:19but they have got to gel, they have got to work, they have got to be quality
01:01:21yeah I think that's the most important thing, you can sign whoever you want
01:01:25but they have got to buy into exactly what they want to do and they have got to perform
01:01:29and like you said other than what, three wins and a draw at home
01:01:32they are using their stadium as a fortress
01:01:35and you know I want to eat a little bit of humble pie as well
01:01:38because of the amount of players they signed
01:01:41I thought it would be difficult for them and they have done better than I expected
01:01:45and long may it continue because it's a really good story
01:01:47Mookie Ailey there with obviously a fantastic goal for him
01:01:52and obviously we've got to mention Wolves who are still winless
01:01:55it wasn't a good start to them last season either
01:01:58but they've got...
01:02:00same as what happened last season they didn't win any in first eight last season
01:02:03I think their next home game is Burnley
01:02:05they have to win that
01:02:07OK, up next Brighton face Newcastle with the Magpies never having won a Premier League game at the Amex
01:02:13Steve Wilson was there
01:02:159 points from 7 games is a slightly underwhelming tally for both these clubs
01:02:21who've come a long way since being promoted together in 2017
01:02:25Fabian Ertzner makes one chase to Brighton 11 which salvaged the late point at Wolves
01:02:29Gruder has a knock and is replaced by Ruter
01:02:33Nick Valtemada scored his first goal for Germany in the international break
01:02:38adding to a goal in each of his last three for Newcastle
01:02:41no changes from the win over Forest
01:02:44if this game were to finish goalless then Newcastle would be the first club in 90 years to play out goalless draws
01:02:50in each of their first four away league games
01:02:55Trivia, little bit of room
01:02:59crosses a decent one, it was Joe Linton who attacked it
01:03:03Tonali turns it back into Bruno Guimaraes
01:03:06who did really well to find some space
01:03:09and is not far away
01:03:11that little step away from Dunk
01:03:14just gave him the room he needed to get the shot away
01:03:16Eddie Howe used to be the fresh-faced
01:03:21bright young thing of Premier League management
01:03:24but Fabian Ertzner is 15 years younger
01:03:33Oh Joe Linton's giving it away to Welbeck
01:03:36Jorginho Ruter here for Brighton
01:03:38it's a good effort and a good save
01:03:41Joe Linton will be mightily relieved
01:03:47they thought they had Ruter penned in
01:03:49he did very well to get the shot away
01:03:51on target
01:03:53good save by Pope
01:03:552017 Newcastle went up to the Premier League as champions
01:03:59just one point ahead of Brighton who went up as runners-up
01:04:02in 17 meetings since Newcastle have only won two
01:04:06Ruter
01:04:07Ruter
01:04:10Ruter through to Welbeck
01:04:12and nicked in by Danny Welbeck
01:04:15and that was so straight forward
01:04:18so simple
01:04:20straight down the middle
01:04:22and Brighton are in front
01:04:24Ruter
01:04:26collected the pass
01:04:28simply accelerated away from Tonali
01:04:31threaded it through to Welbeck
01:04:33who clipped it over Pope
01:04:34well how did Newcastle allow them to stroll through
01:04:39so simply
01:04:40it's beautifully taken by Welbeck
01:04:42Brighton 1
01:04:44Newcastle 0
01:04:45oh he's done well Belieber
01:04:53four in this Brighton attack
01:04:56this is Ruter
01:04:58Cadiolu
01:05:00put it into a great area
01:05:02but luckily for Newcastle
01:05:04there weren't any blue and white jerseys there
01:05:06and Bottmann cleared
01:05:07there are a few appeals here from Brighton
01:05:09Van Hecke with a very strong challenge
01:05:10strong challenge
01:05:16De Kuyper
01:05:18Cadiolu
01:05:20De Kuyper
01:05:22Pope managed to keep it away
01:05:24they're hanging on here Newcastle
01:05:27that's a good save by Pope
01:05:30well hit by De Kuyper
01:05:32there were a few appeals here for handball
01:05:34don't think you can go giving those
01:05:35it could be a corner unless Dunk prevents it
01:05:45Bruno Guimaraes was looking for the contact with Cadiolu
01:05:49and then recovered it's pushed away by Verbruggen
01:05:51Newcastle appeal
01:06:06Murphy has it
01:06:08and Murphy's well off the mark
01:06:10well Bruno Guimaraes it seemed to me was looking for the contact with Cadiolu
01:06:15with Cadiolu
01:06:17he's done well to get back on his feet
01:06:19smashing it across goal
01:06:20Pope pushed it out
01:06:21now did it hit Vifa on the arm
01:06:25you'd say it did
01:06:28it does hit his hand but
01:06:30deemed to be in a natural position
01:06:32which seems reasonable enough to me
01:06:43Murphy
01:06:45Bruno Guimaraes
01:06:47Bruno Guimaraes
01:06:48good ball
01:06:49Lewis Miley
01:06:50Walter Mata
01:06:51brilliant
01:06:52oh that's brilliant
01:06:56scores all kinds of goals this kid
01:06:59this is a lovely goal
01:07:06brilliant
01:07:09impudent
01:07:11and outstanding
01:07:12brighton
01:07:13brighton one
01:07:14Newcastle one
01:07:16Nick Walter Mata has made a huge impact on the Premier League
01:07:19and here's Harvey Barnes
01:07:23and now Murphy
01:07:26and Bruno Guimaraes
01:07:28and Walter Mata couldn't quite take it with him
01:07:30Dan Byrne with the throw
01:07:41oh that was very awkward for Verbruggen
01:07:45and Bruno Guimaraes sees it fly over the top of the bar for a corner
01:07:49Verbruggen was in a lot of bother
01:07:52Bruno Guimaraes
01:07:54Bruno Guimaraes
01:07:55drove it and it hit Ayari on the thigh and flew over
01:07:59Lewis Dunk
01:08:02that's in Ayari
01:08:05oh that's a really good run
01:08:06Vifa's been well found
01:08:08super challenged but well back
01:08:09well back
01:08:15he hadn't scored at the Amex since February
01:08:18and he was about to be substituted
01:08:21but he's got his second to this game
01:08:24and put Brighton back in front
01:08:26all about the run of Mats Vifa really
01:08:31it's a great challenge
01:08:32but it fell beautifully for Welbeck
01:08:36and he tucked it away with such aplomb
01:08:41and his name rings around the Amex
01:08:47we showed resilience, we showed character, we showed personality on the pitch
01:08:51and we stick to our principle, we stayed in our formation
01:08:55we kept the structure quite well and then we get the reward
01:08:59so I'm very pleased with the performance overall
01:09:02we're disappointed with the first half performance really
01:09:04a bright start and then we faded
01:09:06the last half an hour
01:09:08that first half was hard to watch really
01:09:10I don't think we were particularly good with the ball
01:09:12and we ended up in transition an awful lot
01:09:14Brighton scored in that period
01:09:16we were pleased to get in at 1-0 and then try and regroup
01:09:18we were much better in the second half
01:09:20we gave a much better account of ourselves
01:09:22we looked like we could score, we were a goal threat
01:09:24when we conceded the second goal
01:09:26we were the dominant team
01:09:28there's always that possibility, you've got to sniff it out
01:09:30that the ball could fall your way
01:09:31so I just
01:09:33I was kind of wondering, you know
01:09:36trying to see if it could fall nicely for me
01:09:38and it did and I stuck it away very nicely
01:09:41The years you've been playing at this level
01:09:43you just look like a guy who's really enjoying himself
01:09:45Nah, I'm hating it
01:09:47I love it
01:09:49I've got the passion and love for football
01:09:52so when I'm out there on the pitch
01:09:54it's what I want to do
01:09:55I'm feeling good, I feel fit, I feel strong
01:09:58so it's not a time of stopping any time shortly
01:10:02Did they deserve the win today, Brighton?
01:10:05Yeah, I thought Brighton were the better team
01:10:07Newcastle I thought were too easy to play through at times
01:10:11and Brighton found that way of finding that extra man in front of the back four
01:10:14and Newcastle's midfield
01:10:17and in fact Newcastle covered less ground
01:10:20six kilometres less ground than Brighton out of possession
01:10:23and that tells you
01:10:25we talk about whether it was Joe Linton or Bruno travelling back from playing Japan in South Korea
01:10:30or whatever
01:10:31or Tenale playing for Italy
01:10:34but it was unusual for Newcastle
01:10:35the first goals have conceded away from home
01:10:37and this is what Brighton did really, really well
01:10:40getting in those positions there
01:10:42and the midfield just couldn't cope with that
01:10:45that's a brilliant ball through and a very, very clever finish
01:10:48and it happened a few occasions
01:10:50there's the midfield, they just played around them
01:10:52look, Joe Linton comes in, it's not really a press
01:10:55and the passing and the moving from Brighton again was excellent
01:10:58I know they came into it a lot more in the second half, Newcastle
01:11:03but they took Joe Linton off, they brought Lewis Miley onto the pitch
01:11:06but still they were finding those little bits of space
01:11:10just in between, there you go, Ayari is there
01:11:12and again that pass is correct
01:11:14and before Newcastle can react, they're too late
01:11:17and they should have been punished again
01:11:19and this was the winning goal coming up
01:11:22the movement's fantastic from Brighton
01:11:24look at Wifa there, getting into that space
01:11:25albeit, he doesn't get that ball, doesn't come for him
01:11:29but that is such a clever finish
01:11:32it really, really is
01:11:34and it has to, because Newcastle normally
01:11:37in those positions they're really strong
01:11:39but today they weren't
01:11:41Look at that, Micah, he's ageing like a fine wine isn't he
01:11:44Danny Welbeck, he's on to score more goals in his 30s than he did in his 20s
01:11:48he only needs 5 more to equal his 20s total, he's 34 years old
01:11:52so, you know, it's feasible that he'll do that before he's 35
01:11:56he's just a fantastic pro, I mean, he's had his knee injuries as well
01:11:59but he plays in a system that suits him
01:12:01and he said in his interview there, he loves football
01:12:04I think he's got another 3-4 years in him
01:12:07I don't think he's finishing any time soon
01:12:09because he's a number 9 and there's not many number 9s about there
01:12:12and I'm just delighted for him
01:12:13OK, it was a battle between two promoted sides at Turf Moor
01:12:17as Burnley took on Leeds United
01:12:19your commentator, Tom Gale
01:12:21A six pointer, a must win or a must not lose
01:12:25take your pick, it's four defeats across their last five for Burnley
01:12:29Zian Fleming comes in to make his first Premier League start
01:12:33replacing the injured Lyle Foster
01:12:35Leslie Ugachukwu and Jakob Brun Larsson also return to the 11
01:12:38Daniel Farkas' four game streak of naming the same lead starting line-up comes to an end
01:12:44Jack Harrison replaces Noah Okafor who's sidelined with a thigh problem
01:12:48Substitute Dan James returned from injury five weeks ahead of schedule
01:12:53January's Championship meeting between these two ended goalless with just a single shot on target
01:13:01surely no one here today wants a repeat of that
01:13:07Stark has a lot of room
01:13:10proud of the away supporters wanted him to shoot
01:13:13Aronson, acrobatic stuff from Dominic Calvert-Lewin
01:13:17talk about trying to make something out of nothing
01:13:22this would have been a spectacular finish
01:13:26today Daniel Farkas side start a run where three of the next four games are away from home
01:13:32taking them into the November international break
01:13:35miscommunication there amongst the Leeds back line
01:13:39needlessly conceding a throw
01:13:41for the first time this afternoon
01:13:46perhaps a chance to see the Kyle Walker long throw
01:13:50decent one
01:13:53met by Strouk
01:13:55Harrison trying to prevent the corner
01:13:57does so
01:14:00Walker can go again
01:14:01he's short this time
01:14:04gets it back
01:14:06that's a decent ball
01:14:08it is!
01:14:10and it's met by the head of Leslie Oogachukwu
01:14:14the Frenchman scores in back-to-back Premier League games
01:14:20and gives his side the ideal springboards
01:14:25in what is a high-stakes game
01:14:28Parker's not phased
01:14:31just like they planned hey
01:14:33what a ball this is
01:14:35from Kyle Walker
01:14:37he's just begging for someone to get on the end of it
01:14:40we have to credit Oogachukwu
01:14:42he does the rest
01:14:44no chance for Darlow
01:14:46Burnley one
01:14:48Leeds United nil
01:14:49Anthony presents it straight to Harrison
01:15:03it's opening up
01:15:05Aronson!
01:15:07off the post
01:15:09Scott Parker would have been furious
01:15:11if that would have resulted in an equaliser for the visitors
01:15:15what a golden opportunity this is for Brendan Aronson
01:15:17but we have to credit
01:15:20Martin Dubravka
01:15:22proving his
01:15:24fine goalkeeping abilities
01:15:26benefiting from the aid of a post
01:15:28and Padua
01:15:30Longstaff
01:15:32patient build-up here from Leeds United
01:15:34and was he caught?
01:15:35there he was!
01:15:37Anthony the guilty party
01:15:39it is
01:15:45Anton Stack!
01:15:47an excellent save
01:15:51strikes it well
01:15:53it's goalkeeper side though
01:15:55so Dubravka did have a good sight of it
01:15:57save still needed to be made
01:16:06Longstaff
01:16:07his cross
01:16:10Harrison!
01:16:12best moments of the second half for Leeds United so far
01:16:17that was a chance and he knows it
01:16:23Stroke
01:16:26Walker read that
01:16:28will he get there first?
01:16:29he will
01:16:3135 but still blistering pace
01:16:34checks back to find Cullen
01:16:40Chowne, he has room
01:16:44Chowne!
01:16:46he has room
01:16:47Chowne!
01:16:49scream it from the Burnley substitute
01:16:52there didn't seem to be much on
01:16:54so he thought
01:16:55why not?
01:16:57what a way to score your first goal in Burnley colours
01:17:07he's not closed down
01:17:09but wow!
01:17:11Burnley double their advantage
01:17:13courtesy of Scott Parker
01:17:15bringing a man on from the bench
01:17:16Bloom Chowne makes it Burnley 2
01:17:21Leeds United 0
01:17:27James checks
01:17:29back to Longstaff towards Calvert-Lewin
01:17:32and Bogle!
01:17:33how has he not put that away?
01:17:39Calvert-Lewin's effort hangs in the air
01:17:43and Bogle kicks the advertising hoarding in frustration
01:17:47James's delivery towards Calvert-Lewin
01:17:53and Perdue
01:17:54couldn't wrap his leg around it
01:17:56Walker can't clear either
01:18:01Chowne has stayed down
01:18:06Goodmanson
01:18:08it's cross
01:18:10and I think Metscher got the final touch there
01:18:13it's going to be a second win of the season for Scott Parker
01:18:17and for the first time
01:18:19Burnley have beaten Leeds United in the Premier League
01:18:21Burnley 2
01:18:23Leeds United 0
01:18:25I thought the performance was everything we planned to come in today really
01:18:28so hugely competitive team
01:18:31and we probably experienced that last year certainly went toe-to-toe with Leeds for some time throughout that year
01:18:38but overall today first and foremost coming to get a result
01:18:42and we've managed to do that
01:18:44Your first Burnley goal and what a goal!
01:18:47Can you talk us through it please?
01:18:49I'm very happy
01:18:51I'm full
01:18:53I'm excited really
01:18:56and proud and satisfied
01:18:58because it's a long work
01:19:00I work every day for this
01:19:02with the team
01:19:03it's a beautiful goal
01:19:05I'm happy
01:19:06it's a clinical
01:19:07especially as a newly promoted side
01:19:09and yeah each of the situation counts
01:19:11so to be self-critical
01:19:13you have to say we didn't have this effectiveness level
01:19:15like they had performance wise
01:19:17I can't complain about anything
01:19:18but this is how football works
01:19:20When Daniel and the Leeds fans look at those stats
01:19:22they will wonder how they came away from Turf Moor with nothing
01:19:26Yeah Leeds were excellent
01:19:28apart from putting the ball in the back of the net
01:19:30absolutely dominated the game
01:19:32but Burnley stayed in the game
01:19:34and took the chances when needed
01:19:36Cal Walker with the first one
01:19:37a great, great cross into Ogochukwu
01:19:40and then the second one
01:19:42what a strike this is
01:19:44he finds a little space in there
01:19:46and the turn
01:19:48too much time
01:19:50and he just absolutely belts it
01:19:52I mean the technique is just sublime
01:19:55sort of cuts across it
01:19:57the goalkeeper no chance
01:19:59I mean what an amazing goal that was
01:20:01and another promoted side that is really building on their home form
01:20:04yeah but even if you look at the stats that won't bother Burnley
01:20:07because it was something similar to like that in the championship last season
01:20:10so they've just carried that on but yeah their home form is going to be key
01:20:13like it is for every Premier League club that comes up
01:20:17we mentioned a minute ago didn't we there of course it's Wolves next away
01:20:21you know and that's a pivotal game for both
01:20:23they're going to target games away obviously
01:20:25yeah but I think if you look at the bigger picture for Burnley
01:20:27I think Scott and his staff will be reasonably happy with the start that they've made in the Premier League
01:20:32they've shown to people I think they're going to be competitive particularly at home
01:20:36I think the good thing is when Burnley was under Vincent company they tried to play a style of play
01:20:43obviously they didn't work for the team work for company he's gone to Bayern Munich
01:20:47but now they've got a defensive style stuck to what they know and it's working for them and home form
01:20:52yeah and all three promoter teams are all out of the bottom three so they'll all be very pleased with this start actually
01:20:58yeah sticking to their identity working on their home form and at the moment seems to be working for them
01:21:02well let's have a look shall we as you're giving it away at the Premier League table
01:21:07no surprises then with Liverpool not in action until tomorrow
01:21:11Arsenal extend their lead at the top to three points
01:21:15but on the eight occasions Arsenal have had at least 19 points at this stage
01:21:20they've gone on to win the title only once
01:21:22the combined telly of 29 points by Sunderland, Leeds and Burnley is 15 more than the three promoter sides managed this stage of the season last time
01:21:28Wolves failed to win any of their opening eight games for the second season running
01:21:34well as we found out today it's going to take more than a shield to protect you if you're a Premier League manager
01:21:40as Ange Postacoglu found out today banished after 39 days and eight games
01:21:45you two can sleep easy tonight
01:21:48on your way
01:21:50good night
01:21:51Ha ha ha ha ha
01:22:14yeah
01:22:16yeah
