00:00Bria replaced Gillespie to partner Ferdinand and Alan Shearer in a formidable attacking line-up.
00:05Pavel Sonacek also returned to the side.
00:08Ardley, for Gale, was the only change for Wimbledon.
00:11The commentator, Tony Gubber.
00:17Touch by Ginola.
00:21That was asking a lot of Alan Shearer, but then he's expected to deliver a lot.
00:26Neil Sullivan heading from outside his area, and he's chipped again!
00:31Batty!
00:33Batty has done to Sullivan what David Beckham did on Saturday.
00:40That's amazing!
00:42It was a ball from the halfway line that isolated Wimbledon's goalkeeper against Manchester United.
00:48And look how calmly David Batty took that in off the underside of the post.
00:54And Neil Sullivan has had the closest view of two sensational goals.
01:03Ginola.
01:07Good left foot cross.
01:08Shearer!
01:09That's when he's at his most dangerous.
01:13When the ball's delivered like that from wide positions, there isn't anybody better.
01:18There's Ginola.
01:25Shearer!
01:26It just needed a touch.
01:29And it isn't going right yet.
01:31For the world's most expensive player.
01:37Off the head of Albert.
01:39This is Vinnie Jones.
01:43Elliot.
01:44Well done.
01:45Oh, that's a good ball from Ferdinand with the outside of the foot to set Ginola free.
01:50In comes the cross for Shearer.
01:52Brian McAllister got his forehead to it first.
01:55Shearer's protesting that he was held or pushed.
01:57Watson.
02:06On his left foot.
02:07Oh, it was dipping.
02:09And dipping quickly.
02:11Asprea.
02:12Shearer's offside.
02:18The cries of delight are stifled in the back of the throat.
02:21Linesman's flag was up.
02:26Not Tom White, Holesworth.
02:27That's Robbie Elliot.
02:31Ferdinand.
02:33Oh, defenders moved away from him.
02:35Ferdinand in full flow.
02:36Ferdinand, it's a great run.
02:37Super save.
02:43Oh, there.
02:45Trying to search out Shearer's.
02:46Headed down.
02:47Robert Lee.
02:49How did he save that?
02:55Well, Sullivan was certainly culpable
02:57for the first goal conceded from Batty in three minutes.
03:01But my, he's made amends for that with two wonderful saves.
03:03Ferdinand.
03:07Ferdinand.
03:08Able to turn.
03:10Nobody getting tight to him.
03:11Here's Robert Lee.
03:16Ginola.
03:16This is Elliot.
03:23There's Ferdinand.
03:25There's Ferdinand.
03:25Left foot.
03:26Ferdinand.
03:30It just isn't destined to be, is it?
03:32Oh, that's bounce into the path of Clarke.
03:42Yes, they're going to score.
03:43He's scored.
03:45Oh, well.
03:46Now, it's offside because the other player touched it.
03:50If Marcus Gale hadn't touched that effort
03:52and allowed it to run into the net,
03:55would it have stood?
03:56Would the linesman have given offside?
03:59Batty.
04:01Cloud in St. James' Park.
04:02Still stunned into,
04:04almost silenced by,
04:05what happened in their own penalty area.
04:08Here's Shearer.
04:11Pulled down by Chris Perry free kick.
04:17Shearer will take this one.
04:20Yes!
04:26Now, it can begin.
04:31The great weight of expectation.
04:34The great weight of responsibility.
04:35He is lifted just a little
04:37off the shoulders of the 15 million pound man.
04:43Alan, congratulations,
04:44but why didn't you take all the earlier free kicks?
04:47Just either too far out or the wrong side.
04:50That one's come with, I think,
04:52five minutes to go on.
04:53I thought, why not have a shot?
04:55The last two games, I've tried one
04:57and Neville Southall saved one
04:59and Peter Schmeichel saved one
05:01in the charity shield.
05:02Fortunately for me today,
05:04it's went in,
05:04but sometimes I do,
05:05sometimes I go on the top row
05:06and thankfully it's winning.
05:08you for me today,
05:09maybe we're on the floor
05:13and then I get started
05:13and ask it to go on the back.
05:14I'll be there really big
05:14advantageous things.
