00:00:01Oh, look at that!

00:00:03Absolutely phenomenal!

00:00:05Rudy!

00:00:07Welcome to Match of the Day.

00:00:50Well, 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 and 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 yeah, 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.

00:01:18Manchester 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 eleven 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, Fofana ill.

00:02:10In come Jürgensen, Badia Schiel, James, Pedro Neto and Jrau Pedro.

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

00:02:22And 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.

00:02:32Here he is.

00:02:37Matthias 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.

00:02:55And that's a great ball from Matthias 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.

00:03:06Well, this would have been a sensational counter-attacking goal.

00:03:10Great awareness by Foden.

00:03:14Well, they've done really well, Chelsea.

00:03:16They've defended sturdily.

00:03:22Bernardo Silva trying to twist Gusto.

00:03:27And he's succeeded in doing so.

00:03:29And 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.

00:03:50Cherokee's header, Rodri, Foden, Haaland.

00:03:54Deflected!

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

00:03:59That big deflection could well have looped over the top of the Chelsea keeper.

00:04:05But he's adjusted here to make a very good save, Philip Jürgensen.

00:04:21Heavy touch from Achenpong, but Rhys James is there.

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

00:04:27Rodri...

00:04:28And Erling Haaland!

00:04:30Oh!

00:04:31Goodness me!

00:04:33You don't get any closer than that.

00:04:37Chelsea get a throw in.

00:04:41And the post gets a rattling from Haaland.

00:04:45Oh, brilliant really.

00:04:48Very unlucky.

00:04:49And his next goal will be his 150th for the club.

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

00:05:03Chelsea have given the ball away.

00:05:05And Cherokee exchanges a touch with Rodri.

00:05:11Badia Shields touch.

00:05:14Reinders!

00:05:15Yes!

00:05:18Great finish.

00:05:21That is a pretty devastating finish from Tijani Reinders.

00:05:26And Manchester City break the deadlock.

00:05:29With four minutes of the first half remaining.

00:05:32Well, this really is a splendid goal.

00:05:36Haaland the threat, Badia Shield kept it from him,

00:05:38but played it straight into Reinders.

00:05:41Is there a little flick off the Chelsea defender as it goes in?

00:05:46Reinders hits it beautifully.

00:05:49Might 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.

00:06:01O'Reilly's cushioned header down.

00:06:03Gusto's nicked it away from Rodri.

00:06:06Well won back by Guardiol.

00:06:08Now Rodri.

00:06:15And Cole Palmer.

00:06:17Guardiol is down.

00:06:19Enzo Fernandes to Palmer's left.

00:06:21And he plays him in.

00:06:22Enzo Fernandes.

00:06:23Lovely little pirouette.

00:06:25And Pedro Neto has missed it.

00:06:27With the goal gaping.

00:06:29And it really should be one each.

00:06:33Well, Guardiol was on the ground throughout that whole Chelsea attack.

00:06:37Which should have resulted in an equalising goal.

00:06:42Enzo Fernandes did well here.

00:06:46And Pedro Neto simply has to get that on target.

00:06:55Enzo Fernandes got a boot in, but Bernardo Silva would not be denied.

00:06:59Erling Haaland here.

00:07:01Great pace.

00:07:02Tearing away from Canaba.

00:07:04Brilliant run, Gablon.

00:07:08Haaland still.

00:07:15And O'Reilly has failed to keep the ball in play.

00:07:19I'll talk about explosive here.

00:07:22Erling Haaland.

00:07:23Collecting the ball.

00:07:24A couple of metres inside his own half.

00:07:27And just driving on with enormous threat.

00:07:32Good block by Badia Shield.

00:07:35Gianluigi Donnarumma forward to Erling Haaland.

00:07:38Beautifully cushioned.

00:07:40Cherki.

00:07:40He's got the pace to get away from Santos.

00:07:43Bernardo Silva's there.

00:07:44Brilliant recovery from Harto.

00:07:47Well, that's outstanding.

00:07:50Great flick here from Erling Haaland.

00:07:53Good pace by Cherki.

00:07:54Too much for Andre Santos.

00:07:56Look how much ground Jor-El Harto made up.

00:08:07Dilap and Cole Palmer and Enzo Fernandes getting forward.

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

00:08:19And Dilap.

00:08:20Good turn.

00:08:21Tight angle.

00:08:22Donnarumma save.

00:08:24And 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.

00:08:34Well snubbered by the Italian.

00:08:40Certainly some anxiety around the Etihad right now as Enzo Fernandes

00:08:47finds 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.

00:09:14Six minutes were indicated.

00:09:15Three of them have been played.

00:09:17Here's Gusto.

00:09:18Oh, excellent.

00:09:19Got away from O'Reilly.

00:09:20There's four in the middle for Chelsea.

00:09:22Gusto.

00:09:23Dilap couldn't get there.

00:09:24Surely from Enzo Fernandes for Chelsea.

00:09:26It's 1-1 in stoppage time.

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

00:09:35Donnarumma is beaten.

00:09:38Fernandes scores.

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

00:09:46There is a check, of course, possible offside.

00:09:52Enzo Fernandes, at the second attempt,

00:09:56trodded it into the back of the net.

00:09:59And the goal will stand.

00:10:02It's Manchester City 1-1.

00:10:05Chelsea 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.

00:10:13Because first half, you were 1-0 up.

00:10:17It could have been more.

00:10:18The control go away?

00:10:19For 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.

00:10:26And the momentum of the game changed a bit.

00:10:29I'm not agreeing.

00:10:30But it's OK.

00:10:31They scored a goal.

00:10:31That's why you analyse the results.

00:10:34Of course, they make a step up.

00:10:35We make it more intense in the pressing.

00:10:37They had the chances because we lost two balls

00:10:40in the beginning of the second half.

00:10:41But if you believe they achieved the momentum,

00:10:45OK.

00:10:46Maybe you know better than me.

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

00:10:50The second half, it was a bit more open.

00:10:51It went more up and down.

00:10:52And still, we created some big opportunities.

00:10:55And yeah, disappointed that we conceded the goal so late.

00:11:00So we all know the week we've had.

00:11:02But the boys were focused.

00:11:03And yeah, in life, you either drop your heads or you keep going.

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

00:11:10We knew what we wanted.

00:11:11And yeah, we'd done well to get the point.

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

00:11:15Like, imagine what they're feeling at half-time.

00:11:18Manchester City were the much better team in the first half.

00:11:20Interim coach.

00:11:21All the change that's gone on.

00:11:22All the injuries we've had.

00:11:24But 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.

00:11:34A frustrated Pep Guardiola there.

00:11:36Because 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.

00:11:45You know, one chance in a lifetime to manage against Pep Guardiola perhaps.

00:11:48Away at the Etihad.

00:11:49Nothing to lose.

00:11:50But he had a game plan.

00:11:50He 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.

00:12:05They'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.

00:12:09It's a big day for him.

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

00:12:12But there's a clear message.

00:12:13You see the 5 again.

00:12:15This time, Rinders receives the ball.

00:12:18Achimpong jumps out.

00:12:20But you see then, this opportunity, they do get in.

00:12:22But again, they've got enough players back in a defensive position to 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, who we know how good they are going forward.

00:12:38I said to Gary Offer, I said, at some stage you'll have to feel a punch when you go to

00:12:41Manchester.

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

00:12:45That'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, which they do in the edge of the box, now

00:12:50you're bang in trouble.

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

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

00:12:56But they never got back into that 5-4-1 formation that we spoke about just previously.

00:13:01And 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 because 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 a break.

00:13:16And you 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, but we certainly think there was one.

00:13:30Because 1-0 down at half-time, McFarlane wasn't afraid to make tactical changes.

00:13:34No, I think fair play to him because 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, like 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 and you're 1-0 down and you need to make a

00:13:47call,

00:13:48he didn't back out of making that call.

00:13:50You know, to take Esteval off, to shift the shape.

00:13:53You can see it here.

00:13:53They've moved Gusto back into his high right-back position rather than being on the left.

00:13:59Esteval 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.

00:14:05And then he used that freedom, Enzo, to cause Man City real problems.

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

00:14:10Cole Palmer rolled in off this right-hand side like he did so well against PSG in the Club World

00:14:14Cup.

00:14:15And now Enzo just using that running power.

00:14:17You know, and he's able to break forward and 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 Lap as well had a real impact on the game.

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

00:14:31You see Enzo again here with that running power driving the team forward.

00:14:34Wouldn't have been able to do that in the first half from the lower position he was in.

00:14:37Bit of a longer clip, but they managed to sustain the pressure.

00:14:40Get Enzo on the ball again in a high position and a great ball into Liam de Lap.

00:14:44And he did cause the centre-backs problems when he came on Liam.

00:14:47Although Manchester City did lose their two in Guardiola and in Diaz,

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

00:14:56And then Gusto, high right back.

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

00:15:0094th minute, Enzo still using his power and his running power to get himself in a position

00:15:05that allows Chelsea to take a well-earned point away from the Etihad,

00:15:09which is no mean feat for an interim manager on his first day in charge.

00:15:13Yeah, his sixth goal of the season. Look 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 making him go over to the Chelsea fans.

00:15:20And you can see as a manager that must be enormously gratifying

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

00:15:25Yeah, and that should not be underestimated because that's difficult.

00:15:28He alluded to it in his post-match speech there around how the players would be feeling.

00:15:33You know, you've been completely dominated by Manchester City who just do that to teams.

00:15:37And then to be able to make a change and be able to make the players believe in that change,

00:15:41and then to produce numbers like that, XG, shots, everything up, touches 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 because reports are,

00:15:56and we understand that, Liam Rossini is already in London,

00:15:59ready to be announced as Chelsea manager tomorrow.

00:16:01The Strasbourg manager currently where he's been managing and doing fairly well, Shea as well.

00:16:07153 matches in his managerial career today, including Hull.

00:16:11So not the most experienced.

00:16:13No, 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.

00:16:23You say he's managed 153 games.

00:16:25He's done his apprenticeship and 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, but they've spent well.

00:16:39He'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, I think.

00:16:53And he's, you know, the Premier League's tough and he'll find that out.

00:16:57But it's much easier doing it with Chelsea and the top players that you have available to you.

00:17:01There may be an introduction to the Premier League for a promotion with a newly promoted side.

00:17:04So he's going to get a fantastic opportunity at a top club.

00:17:08And obviously we'll see very soon whether he's ready to grasp it.

00:17:12Five more games to come from Sunday after December's Goal of the Month.

00:17:34That was Vincent Kompany-esque.

00:17:37Well, it was a belter.

00:17:48Wilson.

00:17:49Oh, what a goal!

00:17:55The link-up play is absolutely sumptuous here.

00:18:00It is perfection.

00:18:08A bit of space here for Morgan Rodgers.

00:18:11Might have a go at Goal!

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

00:18:19Rodgers in a lot of space.

00:18:21And how about that for a finish?

00:18:33It's Senghori who...

00:18:34Oh!

00:18:35What a hit from Senghori!

00:18:41What a strike!

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

00:18:44Always looks good, doesn't it, when he comes in off the post.

00:18:51Pre-kick, which Chelsea hope will be a profitable one.

00:18:55Rhys James!

00:18:56Oh, it is!

00:18:58It's outstanding from Rhys James!

00:19:03Because that was inch-perfect.

00:19:04Can you feel like it's falling in me?

00:19:10Again, giving the ball in a precarious position, but he's kept hold of it.

00:19:17And Morgan Rodgers has kept it in.

00:19:20Head down.

00:19:21It's Rodgers!

00:19:25It's an absolute ripper!

00:19:28He should never score from there.

00:19:30From that position, Rodgers in red-hot form.

00:19:38Dallin with the long throw.

00:19:41Voltemada's head.

00:19:43Door goal!

00:19:48What 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?

00:20:01Can you feel it?

00:20:01I'm just running in my mind?

00:20:06Impressing.

00:20:07It's did that well though.

00:20:10Stack.

00:20:11Super ball from him, out to Aronson.

00:20:16Handless forward here leads, Aronson, Calvert-Lewin!

00:20:20Where ever you feel?

00:20:23Can you feel it?

00:20:25It's a fabulous team goal.

00:20:29Calvert-Lewin's incredible streak in front of goal continues.

00:20:54Having won three of their last four, Fulham faced a Liverpool side unbeaten in seven in the Premier League.

00:21:00Stephen Wyeth, watch this one.

00:21:03As the temperature has plummeted, Fulham and Liverpool have stayed hot.

00:21:08Two form sides.

00:21:10The hosts endeavour to keep it up with three changes.

00:21:12Kenny Tete is injured, so Timothy Castagne replaces him.

00:21:17Issa Diop returns and Tom Cairney's reward for the equaliser at Palace is a rare league start.

00:21:23Liverpool's form is their best since spring, but they too are stretched.

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

00:21:30Cody Gagpo starts instead.

00:21:33Alexis McAllister and Milos Kerkis replace Jeremy Fringpong and Andy Robertson.

00:21:41Underway 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, but Fulham against Liverpool in recent times has been

00:21:56a blast.

00:21:59Curtis Jones.

00:22:01Gagpo's made his run and the flag has stayed down.

00:22:04Cody Gagpo is in.

00:22:07And the shot has only just bobbled wide.

00:22:11And it's the kind of chance that really should have at least resulted in a testing of the Fulham goalkeeper.

00:22:18Bernd Leno could watch it go harmlessly wide.

00:22:23And on a slot side on their best run of unbeaten form since their last visit to Craven Cottage.

00:22:30And Fulham ended a 26-match run unbeaten with a 3-2 win.

00:22:38Oh, lovely flick, Raul Jimenez.

00:22:41Wilson is in here.

00:22:43And has fired in, but from an offside position.

00:22:48Well, Fulham have really bided their time before looking to pounce on Liverpool.

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

00:22:57Raul Jimenez towards Wilson now.

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

00:23:05On-field decision was offside.

00:23:08But now the VAR Andy Madley is going to get involved.

00:23:13Because...

00:23:14Virgil van Dijk and Milos Kerkhez both look like they might have been playing Wilson on-site.

00:23:21And Fulham are about to receive some very good news.

00:23:25Some very welcome news.

00:23:28Because the on-field decision was wrong and Fulham do lead.

00:23:33Courtesy of a former Liverpool player.

00:23:37Harry Wilson in sparkling recent form in front of goal has scored again.

00:23:43Well, for a moment it looked like it was too good to be true when Wilson was bearing down on

00:23:48goal.

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

00:23:54But confirmation.

00:23:56Virgil van Dijk, the one that was playing him on.

00:23:59And that splendid finish beyond the reach of Alisson is the goal to make it Fulham 1-0.

00:24:05Liverpool 0.

00:24:07Since the start of November, only the top three in the Premier League have picked up more points than Fulham.

00:24:18Jo Bojlai remains an option.

00:24:22Fulham remain well organised.

00:24:28Jo Bojlai, charged down by Smithrow, corner kick.

00:24:38Jo Bojlai.

00:24:40And headed against the crossbar, Anderson there.

00:24:44Now appeals for a penalty, Fulham survive.

00:24:49McAllister head in hands, knows how close he was to levelling things up.

00:25:02Bradley, pouncing on a loose ball and driving at Fulham and finding Florian Nets.

00:25:10And once again,

00:25:12the ball finds the back of the net.

00:25:16Liverpool discover that it was from an offside position.

00:25:19Florian Verts this time.

00:25:21The unlucky player in red.

00:25:23Conor Bradley did tremendously well.

00:25:26Arguably deserved an assist for his contribution.

00:25:28But Verts was just beyond Issa Diop.

00:25:32This is just being cleared up.

00:25:34Just in case.

00:25:37Diop's trailing leg was beyond the outstretched right boot of Florian Verts at the critical moment.

00:25:45Once again, the on-field decision is going to be overturned.

00:25:50And Liverpool have an equaliser.

00:25:52And Florian Verts has another Liverpool goal.

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

00:26:00Belated jubilation in the away end.

00:26:03It's a muted celebration from Liverpool, who know there is still work to be done.

00:26:08Issa Diop adjudged to have just been playing.

00:26:12Florian Verts onside.

00:26:15And just as in the first half of Fulham, Liverpool's goal has taken some unpicking.

00:26:21But the decision is to award it.

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

00:26:29He'll want more than a point now.

00:26:31So dominant out of his side bin in this second half.

00:26:37Bradley.

00:26:41Robinson.

00:26:43Super pass.

00:26:44Val Jimenez looks to be in.

00:26:47Alisson has come.

00:26:48Not dealt with it.

00:26:49Wilson!

00:26:50Oh!

00:26:51Off the bar.

00:26:52Who'll get there first?

00:26:53Virgil van Dijk.

00:26:56So close Fulham to regaining the lead.

00:26:59The direct approach nearly working so effectively.

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

00:27:06Denied by the crossbar.

00:27:08And van Dijk it was.

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

00:27:14The unbeaten runs have taken Liverpool into the top four and Fulham into European contention themselves.

00:27:19Each of the two has the greater desire in the quality to turn the draw into three points.

00:27:29Time running out.

00:27:31But there is still time.

00:27:36Kravenbeer.

00:27:38And Bradley.

00:27:40For Frimpong.

00:27:41Quality cross required.

00:27:43And that is a quality cross.

00:27:47Which looks to have produced a match winning moment for Cody Gatpo.

00:27:55Liverpool lead having been behind.

00:27:58And in stoppage time at Kraven Cottage appear to have got the job done.

00:28:03The man asked to fulfil the role of centre forward today.

00:28:08Has responded with a goal at a critical moment.

00:28:12A vicious delivery.

00:28:14That Gatpo was alert to.

00:28:17Showing the instincts required.

00:28:20To step forward late on in the game.

00:28:24And score for Liverpool a goal.

00:28:27That looks to have secured for them a fifth win in eight.

00:28:30That's all.

00:28:33Having scored.

00:28:35And having been cautioned as a consequence.

00:28:38Cody Gatpo is going to be withdrawn.

00:28:41But he can leave with the acclaim of the travelling support.

00:28:45They feel as though it's job done.

00:28:53Robinson's throw to Kevin.

00:28:57And then will field defeat is harsh on them.

00:29:00Harrison Reid from distance.

00:29:04An exceptional goal.

00:29:06From the most unlikely source.

00:29:10A how and well moment from Harrison Reid.

00:29:14Just as the points look gone for Fulham.

00:29:17They have responded.

00:29:19Almost immediately.

00:29:22In the groove Fulham.

00:29:23They simply don't know at the moment when they are beaten.

00:29:26Sent on.

00:29:28To provide some midfield energy late in the game.

00:29:31And instead.

00:29:32It is Harrison Reid.

00:29:34Who has scored the most improbable late equaliser.

00:29:39A near perfect strike.

00:29:41Better than anything he could possibly have dreamed of delivering.

00:29:45An exceptional goal.

00:29:47To make it Fulham 2.

00:29:49Liverpool 2.

00:29:52Have you ever hit a ball better than that?

00:29:54It fell nice off the foot.

00:29:55And then I was just praying it went in the top corner.

00:29:57To see it dip in.

00:29:59Obviously circumstances as well.

00:30:00What an amazing feeling.

00:30:02I will tell you I have been practising and training.

00:30:04The boys know it.

00:30:05They have seen it as well.

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

00:30:08He says he has been practising.

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

00:30:11It is not the first time that you see it.

00:30:13To be honest.

00:30:13Yesterday of course.

00:30:14It is a moment that they use in the end of the minus one session.

00:30:18To do something.

00:30:19Of course if you ask me.

00:30:21Of course I didn't put him thinking that he is going to score that goal.

00:30:24But of course that is poor inspiration from him.

00:30:26And he deserves all the credit.

00:30:27I think we fought very hard in the second half.

00:30:30We were dominating at moments.

00:30:32Trying to create chances to go through.

00:30:35And at the end I scored I think 90 plus five.

00:30:38The moment I sat down on the bench.

00:30:40They scored.

00:30:41Wonderful goal to be fair.

00:30:42We were two one up.

00:30:44And having to defend a long throw in which we expected.

00:30:48And we brought Joe Gomez in because of course he is very good through the air.

00:30:53But they didn't take it long.

00:30:55They took it short.

00:30:57And it was an incredible strike.

00:30:58The boys should deserve to get a reward.

00:31:01Once in a while.

00:31:02But unfortunately we don't get it.

00:31:04And the only ones to blame is ourselves as well.

00:31:07Because we concede in these moments.

00:31:09But fighting so hard to be two one up.

00:31:12It is unbelievable that every time the ball goes in in the end.

00:31:17But it was a truly magnificent goal.

00:31:20Harrison Reid coming in with the heroics of Harrison Ford with that goal.

00:31:24At 92 minutes he comes on the pitch.

00:31:2696 minutes.

00:31:27I think you just need to wax lyrical.

00:31:28I don't think Marco Silva brought him off the bench for this.

00:31:31Probably just to maybe sew it up.

00:31:32Or to try and give it a bit of balance in midfield if Liverpool break away.

00:31:36But they set up for a long throw.

00:31:38It's Arnest Lutz's.

00:31:38But Reid comes into the picture.

00:31:40You know you let the pictures do this justice.

00:31:42This is just a phenomenal strike.

00:31:44It's quite funny Harrison said after that.

00:31:45I've practiced this in training.

00:31:46But again that just roider over stuff it really is.

00:31:49To get that much dip in movement.

00:31:51And Swaz Alisson's got absolutely no chance at all.

00:31:53And Silva just pops up as he hits it there.

00:31:55This is an unbelievable strike.

00:31:58I mean Gary you maybe weren't overly happy with the Liverpool defending.

00:32:00Yeah and I understand they're set up for a long throw.

00:32:03But as soon as Fulham don't throw it long.

00:32:05You have to react to this 4v2.

00:32:07You know some of them Liverpool players in the penalty area.

00:32:09Need to get up and get some pressure on the ball.

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

00:32:13And of course you don't expect to be punished like this.

00:32:16But boy did Harrison Reid punished him a hell of a strike.

00:32:19I'm not sure many of his practices went where that one went.

00:32:21But the one that mattered did.

00:32:23Now there's no Alexander Isak we know for Liverpool for a few months.

00:32:27Eketike out at the moment.

00:32:28Could be back later this week for the Arsenal game on Thursday.

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

00:32:32So Cody Gakpo playing in a more central role today.

00:32:35Yeah.

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

00:32:36Yeah I didn't mind it actually.

00:32:37You know I think Arnaslav talked about maybe in front of the goal.

00:32:40We struggled.

00:32:40But I think Gakpo done well.

00:32:42You keep an eye on him here.

00:32:43He's on the left hand side.

00:32:44But he actually bends his run here as a centre forward you want to do.

00:32:47And he gets through on goal.

00:32:48I mean it's just not a great finish at the end of that.

00:32:50On his weaker left foot.

00:32:51Of course we know him cutting in on his right.

00:32:52He's very strong.

00:32:53But again look how central the goal.

00:32:55And again this is a brilliant hitter.

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

00:32:57Just a little bit unlucky that it's come back off the woodwork.

00:33:00But great movement from him.

00:33:01And then again we show this.

00:33:02He's involved in the goal.

00:33:03I think latter part of the stage he went out to the left side.

00:33:05Kiesel went up more central.

00:33:06But he's not happy just to be getting involved in the build up.

00:33:08Gabby's thinking right can we score a goal.

00:33:10He makes himself 94, 95 minutes.

00:33:12Brilliant ball from Frimpong.

00:33:14And where is he?

00:33:14Number 9 in the middle of the 6 yard box.

00:33:16Where you want him to be.

00:33:17And he tucks it away nicely.

00:33:19And again he thinks he's got the winning goal at this stage.

00:33:21Before Mr Reid stepped up and stole the party off him.

00:33:24But I was happy with Gakbo how he played.

00:33:27It says he's played before there for PSV.

00:33:29He's played there for the Netherlands as well.

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

00:33:32OK there was a lot of noise online about Florian versus goal.

00:33:36Of course during the match it was checked for offside.

00:33:38And to the naked eye there are angles where it does look offside.

00:33:43Now from a semi-automated kind of opinion and position.

00:33:46They're happy that with the tolerance that they have with the lines.

00:33:50That it is onside.

00:33:52Because the advantage when the lines touch.

00:33:54Between the last player and the defender.

00:33:56Is about 5cm.

00:33:58And it's given to the attacking player that kind of advantage.

00:34:00Are you happy?

00:34:01All the best Gary.

00:34:02Gabby's done quite well explaining that there.

00:34:04I've had my own battles with VAR.

00:34:06And trying to guess as a manager whether it's on or off.

00:34:10But they did make the lines thicker.

00:34:12Four years ago I think.

00:34:13To try and give an advantage.

00:34:15But I think all of us would say.

00:34:17That on the naked eye.

00:34:18Florian Virts' foot looks ahead of Diop's there.

00:34:22Florian Virts looks like he's just drifted into that lighter cut of grass.

00:34:26Whereas we would say Diop looks firmly planted in the darker cut.

00:34:29So you would say.

00:34:30That this is probably going to be disallowed for offside at this moment.

00:34:34But then when it then turns to the semi-automated view.

00:34:38You can see it doesn't quite look the same.

00:34:40And it looks like Florian Virts has managed just to stay the right side of Diop.

00:34:46And whether that tolerance.

00:34:47We don't have the privilege of seeing the lines here.

00:34:50But whether that tolerance of about 5cm.

00:34:52Has led to this goal standing.

00:34:54Is a possibility.

00:34:55But Florian Virts needs the goal to be fair to him.

00:34:58Fulham won't be so pleased with it.

00:34:59But a big goal for Florian Virts.

00:35:01Marco Silva's reaction seems quite measured.

00:35:04Yeah I guess the Harrison Reid goal probably takes the edge off it.

00:35:07A little bit for him.

00:35:09And I think as managers and coaches in the end.

00:35:12You have to accept that the technology is there to do its job.

00:35:14And we have to accept that at the moment.

00:35:17It's doing the best job that it possibly can.

00:35:18And it's being interpreted in the best way possible.

00:35:20You mentioned it's been a few years now that that has been the way they've been viewed.

00:35:23And actually the Premier League is the only major league left in Europe that is doing that.

00:35:27The others are still kind of working or are working to the toenail.

00:35:30Yeah so a strong possibility that maybe would have been disallowed in some of the other major leagues around Europe.

00:35:35But as it is at the moment the technology has got that one right for us.

00:35:38And cleared up a very tight decision.

00:35:39You say cleared up.

00:35:40I mean we're talking about that right.

00:35:41Yeah yeah.

00:35:41Cleared up to the best we can.

00:35:43OK.

00:35:44Next, Leeds United and Manchester United renew their War of the Roses as the Reds cross the Pennines to play

00:35:50the Whites of Yorkshire.

00:35:51Your commentator is Guy Mowbray.

00:35:55After today, every team in the Premier League will have faced all the others this season.

00:36:01The opponents Leeds look for first are the ones they've had to wait for longest.

00:36:06There are two changes to the Leeds line-up from their New Year's Day draw at Liverpool.

00:36:11With Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor coming back in to start.

00:36:15Lucas Metcher is a substitute.

00:36:17Captain Ethan Ampadu ruled out suspended.

00:36:19And Jadon Bogle is out with a calf injury.

00:36:22For the visiting United, only one difference to their team in names.

00:36:26As Lenny Uro replaces Joshua Zergzi.

00:36:29He's on the bench alongside five teenagers.

00:36:32With a whole raft of senior players once again absent.

00:36:39Leeds waiting to play.

00:36:41Manchester United pales away compared with waiting to beat them.

00:36:44They haven't done that in nine Premier League meetings.

00:36:47And in seven overalls since Jermaine Beckford's 1-0 winner for then League One Leeds at Old Trafford.

00:36:5416 years ago yesterday.

00:36:57Lammans.

00:36:58Nice easy stroke of the ball.

00:37:01Offside flag is raised as Matthias Cunha has a go.

00:37:05And scores in fine style, but it's not going to count.

00:37:12And I'm pretty sure he was offside.

00:37:17Maybe not Matthias Cunha.

00:37:20But I'm pretty certain Czesko was and he went for the ball to try and help it on.

00:37:24Whether he touched it or not is largely irrelevant.

00:37:3022 minutes in and Leeds United pay tribute to Joshua Pick who died suddenly aged 22 recently.

00:37:40A lead season ticket holder from six years old.

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

00:37:46And we wish them all well.

00:37:52Justin.

00:37:53Calvert-Lewin shielding his eyes from the low sun.

00:37:56Here's Strauch.

00:37:59Stack.

00:38:01Calvert-Lewin!

00:38:02Off the post.

00:38:05So close to scoring again.

00:38:08He was inches away from being 1-0 leads through their number nine once more.

00:38:14Just what a striker in Dominic Calvert-Lewin's form would want.

00:38:18Only needed just a little bit more head on ball.

00:38:24That clears Bourne out.

00:38:27Cunha.

00:38:28Shaw.

00:38:31Dorku can't attack it though.

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

00:38:36And after a spell of leads being in the ascendancy, it might be Manchester United's turn for a bit now.

00:38:44Luke Shaw to take the corner.

00:38:47It's a deep one.

00:38:48And it's Casimiro and saved by Lucas Perry.

00:38:52Brilliant reaction stop.

00:38:55Casimiro on to Lenny Uro just trying to divert it.

00:38:59All he could do there was get it goal bound.

00:39:01He did that.

00:39:03Lucas Perry in the right place.

00:39:07A game that needs a creative spark.

00:39:10A game that needs a player of Eddie Gray's abilities.

00:39:13He made his lead United debut 60 years ago.

00:39:161st of January 1966.

00:39:193-0 against Sheffield Wednesday.

00:39:21He scored one.

00:39:22And he made two before assists were a thing.

00:39:25What a player.

00:39:27Strunk.

00:39:29Heaven has a look.

00:39:30Aronson is closing in.

00:39:32And Aronson is there first.

00:39:33And finishes.

00:39:38Elland Road has erupted.

00:39:44Brendan Aronson's non-stop running has got reward.

00:39:50Aidan Heaven caught cold.

00:39:53A moment for all these young and old to absolutely love.

00:39:59Aronson has not always been flavour of the month here.

00:40:03Right now at this minute.

00:40:05He's the toast of the town.

00:40:07He wanted it just that bit more.

00:40:10But then he had to find the composure to put it in.

00:40:13Brilliantly dispatched.

00:40:15And it's Leeds United 1, Manchester United 0.

00:40:18And Manchester United now feel the need to make a change.

00:40:22Leni Jorow is off.

00:40:23Joshua Zerksi comes on.

00:40:26Well, Aidan Heaven has performed really well.

00:40:28In these seven games now in a row that he started.

00:40:32But there was an aberration.

00:40:34You can't switch off in the Premier League.

00:40:36And in this fixture of all fixtures.

00:40:38You absolutely must be on it at every second.

00:40:43Zerksi.

00:40:44Looking for Cunha.

00:40:46And Cunha has slid in and slotted it past Lucas Perry.

00:40:50It's 1-1.

00:40:54Leeds turn to get it all wrong in defence.

00:40:58This is one of huge importance for Manchester United.

00:41:03Cezco won it, laid it off to Zerksi.

00:41:05He played a perfectly weighted pass for Cunha.

00:41:09And not for the first time, Cunha found himself free.

00:41:13And just like Aronson at the other end.

00:41:15Well, how good was the finish?

00:41:18The game has been plugged in.

00:41:21From 0-0 to 1-1.

00:41:24In just under three minutes.

00:41:31Okafor on his way.

00:41:34Calvert-Lewin in the middle.

00:41:35But so is Heaven.

00:41:47Behold got a help on to that.

00:41:49Good try.

00:41:49Good save.

00:41:52Lehmann's forced to spring into action.

00:41:55After Okafor's acrobatic attempt.

00:41:59Great try.

00:42:02So Alex Ferguson was 84 on New Year's Eve.

00:42:06He was never going to miss this one.

00:42:11Dalot.

00:42:14Ugarte.

00:42:16Zerksi.

00:42:17Now Matthias Cunha.

00:42:19Luke Shaw is an extra centre forward in this move.

00:42:21Here's Zerksi.

00:42:23Zerksi across.

00:42:24Cezco's effort is wide.

00:42:26He made good contact with the ball.

00:42:30Just maybe hit it too straight.

00:42:32Planted firmly wide of the post.

00:42:35Big chance for Manchester United to take the lead.

00:42:41Behold's header goes straight to Cunha.

00:42:43Cezco gets it through the legs for Zerksi.

00:42:46Now it's Dorgue.

00:42:47Cunha wants it.

00:42:48Cunha has the try.

00:42:50Oh, was it saved or just wide?

00:42:55Look at the curl on that from Cunha.

00:42:58So, so close to making it 2-1 Manchester United.

00:43:04It's Justin who heads forward to Nyonto.

00:43:09Lovely ball from Nyonto.

00:43:11Here's Stack.

00:43:12Piru to the right.

00:43:13Stack finds him.

00:43:15Piru!

00:43:16Onto the roof.

00:43:19Made his mind up before the ball came to him.

00:43:21That that's what he was going to try to do.

00:43:25Not far away at all.

00:43:28And it is full time at Elland Road.

00:43:32Leeds draw for a third game in a row.

00:43:35There's seven unbeaten now.

00:43:37Manchester United have only lost one of their last eight.

00:43:42They're much more resilient away from home these days.

00:43:45Leeds United won.

00:43:46Manchester United won.

00:43:49We are a bit disappointed because it was possible also to win this game.

00:43:52You could feel that we were a bit tired today and also we're missing many key players.

00:43:58It was probably football-wise not our best performance but we found still a way to defend really well and

00:44:03to go in lead.

00:44:04And it was definitely possible also to win this game for that.

00:44:06We are a bit disappointed but on the other hand it shows also and says a lot that you are

00:44:11disappointed with just one point against Man United as a promoted side.

00:44:14An important point for us, we talk about this, the resilience and then everyone knows like it's so important to

00:44:20the players who miss today.

00:44:23But we have like a big character in the team.

00:44:25We need like to use the shirt and then show everything in the pitch.

00:44:28And then I think we did it and then I hope we can do much more the next game.

00:44:32Yeah, we're going to take it, you know, with a ton of confidence because, you know, where we've been, you

00:44:36know, the last month of games that we've had.

00:44:37I mean, going to Liverpool, coming back home, you know, two away games and Sunderland too, they're not easy places

00:44:43to go to.

00:44:43So, to stay unbeaten, I think we could even have more points from these games.

00:44:46So, we just need to keep going from here.

00:44:49Well, after the match, Ruben Amarim said this in his press conference.

00:44:53I just want to say that I'm going to be the manager of this team, not just the coach.

00:44:58And I was really clear on that.

00:45:01And that is going to finish in 18 months and then everyone is going to move on.

00:45:07That was the deal.

00:45:09That is my job, not to be a coach.

00:45:12If people cannot handle the Gary Neville's and the criticism of everything, we need to change the club.

00:45:19I came here to be the manager of Manchester United, not to be the coach.

00:45:24And every department, the scouting department, the sport director needs to do their job.

00:45:28I will do mine for 18 months and then we move on.

00:45:32The question he was responding to, Ruben Amarim, was about control at the club and that answer clearly would point

00:45:38to discord with regard to the hierarchy at the club.

00:45:42Yeah, he is not happy. It looks like there is a bit of a, it feels like, we don't know

00:45:46obviously, it feels like there is a bit of a fallout between himself and of course Jason Walcox, the director

00:45:51of football.

00:45:51And he said in numerous cases, two or three times there, that he is the manager, not just the coach.

00:45:56So what that tells me is, he is overseeing players coming in, he is overseeing maybe players going out, who

00:46:00comes to the club, who doesn't.

00:46:02Or he would like to.

00:46:03He would like to, but maybe that has not happened.

00:46:05Maybe it has been nowhere in January now, the promises of maybe players coming in, maybe the goalposts have changed.

00:46:10And a lot of, Gary may tell you better, but a lot of managers, they are head coaches now and

00:46:13they have got heads of heads doing other things.

00:46:15But you look at the great Sir Alex Ferguson, he managed that football club like no other.

00:46:20I look at maybe Anunay Emery at Aston Villa, it feels like he has got the final say in everything

00:46:24that comes and goes in Aston Villa and look where they are at in the league.

00:46:26And also I would say if Man United won on Wednesday night against Burnley, they are up the fourth.

00:46:30And if you look at their bench in the last couple of weeks, they have got a bunch of kids

00:46:32on there.

00:46:33So I don't think he is doing a bad job, but it does feel there is a bit of a

00:46:36falling out behind the scenes perhaps.

00:46:38What do you think as a manager sitting in that chair, his aim was? What was the end game?

00:46:42Yeah, no, I think when you deliver a press conference like that, you're obviously trying to make a point.

00:46:46He's unhappy about something. It's very difficult for us without knowing the inner workings at the football club and the

00:46:51conversations that go on, what he's unhappy with.

00:46:54I agree with Shea that there's not much for him to work with at the moment.

00:46:58If you look at that bench that Manchester United are naming, you know, they are fifth or sixth in the

00:47:02league and maybe they're not underachieving too much with what he's got available to him.

00:47:06So I understand his need and his want for more backing. But it is a dicey game to play when

00:47:12you're sat in that chair and you start to criticize people above you.

00:47:15Maybe when it's not gone overly well for you over the last 18 months. But, you know, he's an intelligent

00:47:20guy, big boy.

00:47:21I'm sure he knows what he's doing. And if he feels he needs to make a point in that moment,

00:47:24then he has every right to do so.

00:47:26I guess recent example, Enzo Mareska, it didn't quite work out for him, did it?

00:47:29No, it goes one way or the other. You normally get some support or it can end fairly abruptly.

00:47:33On the pitch, the player that they're looking to at the moment for creativity and an attacking threat, you know

00:47:37very well, Matthias Kunja from your time at Wolves.

00:47:39Yeah, one of my favorite players that I worked with at Wolves. We did an awful lot of work with

00:47:43him on arriving in attacking areas that really suited him.

00:47:48So Manchester United have used him in a similar zone, but it does still feel like he's carrying a lot

00:47:52of the burden in the attacking.

00:47:54I know they're missing players at the moment. Fantastic finish. He's unlucky that Cesco's just not quite managed to get

00:47:59back from an offside position, but shows his quality.

00:48:02But here, just a lack of attackers on the pitch from Manchester United. And, you know, Kunja needs people.

00:48:08He needs runners to be able to find and he'll find them. His right foot's one of the best in

00:48:11the business.

00:48:12So there he's only got Cesco and Dorg, who's really late to arrive. So a fantastic ball into a dangerous

00:48:17area from Kunja, but not enough attackers for him to play with and combine and create things.

00:48:22Here, Dallow playing outside, poor ball inside, and now Aronson punishes them on the counterattack.

00:48:28And this was the catalyst, really. This was the thing that sparked a reaction from Amarine and Manchester United.

00:48:33Zerksi comes straight off the bench and literally instantly you see three attackers who are able to combine.

00:48:38No fullbacks playing higher up the pitch. Three out and out attackers.

00:48:42And they're able to combine. Cesco sets Zerksi. Kunja makes that running behind.

00:48:47And we did loads and loads of finishing drills with him. And his right foot, when you get him in

00:48:50and around the goal, is deadly.

00:48:52He hits the net time after time. Same again. Zerksi, Cesco. They work it between them.

00:48:57And then they find the third link. Mateus Kunja. Once you get him here, if he's got a runner, he'll

00:49:01find it.

00:49:02In the first half, he didn't have one. Second half, Zerksi makes a fantastic running behind.

00:49:06Perfect weight on the pass from Kunja. And then Cesco will be disappointed he should do better.

00:49:10Same again. Kunja. Drops down to him. He's got two to combine with. Two attackers who he can play with.

00:49:16Would probably like more, but at least he's got two. They combine again.

00:49:20Zerksi and Cesco are able to take the defenders away. Gets Mateus Kunja half a yard.

00:49:25And then that one of the right foot nearly clinches the whole three points for Manchester United.

00:49:29But another big, big performance for him. And here you can see, like, they're not blessed with goals.

00:49:35You know, Mateus Kunja, four. Casemiro, four. And then there's not a lot else in that group.

00:49:39And I understand they're missing players, but this is Manchester United.

00:49:43It's the biggest or one of the biggest clubs in the country.

00:49:45And you would expect their starting XI and bench to provide a lot more goal threat than it does at

00:49:50the moment.

00:49:50So heavily reliant on Mateus.

00:49:51And it says a lot about Leeds and their run in December in particular.

00:49:55So the reaction of a lot of the players and the manager there that, you know, yes, they're happy with

00:49:59the point.

00:49:59But they've had such a good run since that defeat at the end of November to City.

00:50:03They haven't lost a game in Manchester City.

00:50:05He was under pressure, Daniel Farke, as well, wasn't he?

00:50:07And they trusted him. They stuck behind him. Seven unbeaten. Eight points clear of the drop zone.

00:50:11He's doing a great job.

00:50:12OK. We've got plenty more sport coming up for you on the BBC.

00:50:16There's another round of Premier League fixtures in midweek, which means another match of the day.

00:50:20I'll be back on Wednesday evening at 10.40.

00:50:23There's live third round FA Cup football next Saturday.

00:50:26Non-League Macclesfield FC face holders Crystal Palace on BBC One at midday.

00:50:31The Masters snooker begins next Sunday on BBC Two.

00:50:34And if you've missed anything over the festive period, match of the day and individual highlights of every Premier League

00:50:40game are available right now on iPlayer.

00:50:42Now, with half this season's games played, Everton and Brentford faced each other, separated in the table by just a

00:50:49single point.

00:50:49Your commentator for this one is Tom Gale.

00:50:52David Moyes feels Europa or Conference League qualification is a realistic game for Everton.

00:50:58Jack Grealish is now fully recovered from the festive lurgy.

00:51:01Tien O'Barry says watching videos of former toffee striker Romelu Lukaku helped inspire his goal last time out at

00:51:08Forest.

00:51:0927 points is Brentford's second highest telly at this stage of a Premier League season.

00:51:14Quivin Keller has seven seasons at Liverpool, included only one Merseyside derby, a 1-0 victory at Anfield in April

00:51:21of last year.

00:51:23After a dry December, Igor Thiago is looking to end a six-game wait for a goal.

00:51:33O'Brien tried to reverse the ball, can only find Dam's guards.

00:51:39Thiago blocks Jensen's attempted ball and Grealish gets away.

00:51:43Jack Grealish, back to Dwight McNeil, who draws a fine stop from Quivin Callaghan.

00:51:53First big moment for the Irish goalkeeper.

00:51:58First corner of the game to be taken by Dwight McNeil.

00:52:02Tricky one, cleared off the line by Thiago.

00:52:08Well, a nervy few minutes for Keith Andrews's men.

00:52:12And it's Brentford's number nine, back on defensive duties.

00:52:18David Moyes just a few days away from Mark in 12 months since his return back to the club.

00:52:23Everton, 11 points better off at this stage than last season.

00:52:30Tarkovsky.

00:52:31The annals intercepts.

00:52:33Cross towards Thiago!

00:52:38A fair sniff of a goal for Igor Thiago and he dispatches it.

00:52:45David Moyes clearly not impressed.

00:52:48But that happened ever so quickly for Brentford.

00:52:53Everton are in possession here.

00:52:56Tarkovsky.

00:52:57That pass is red.

00:52:58And Janel very speedy on the delivery.

00:53:02And Thiago gets in behind Michael Keane.

00:53:05Only Erling Haaland has bagged more goals than the Brazilians so far this season.

00:53:09His 12th of the campaign to make it Everton nil.

00:53:14Brentford one.

00:53:16Brentford's first effort on goal bringing about maximum rewards.

00:53:22Jensen.

00:53:24Thiago to make it two!

00:53:26Denied by Jordan Pickford.

00:53:30Excellent movement off the ball from Thiago.

00:53:34Jordan Pickford uses the angle to his advantage.

00:53:39Grealish.

00:53:42Last chance possibly here for Everton to change the scoreline in the first half.

00:53:47Grealish.

00:53:49Still Grealish.

00:53:51Onto his left.

00:53:52Ball across!

00:53:52And what a save!

00:53:54Barry denied!

00:53:55And so too Keane.

00:54:00Incredible goalkeeping from Quivine Kelleher.

00:54:03Keeps Brentford in front.

00:54:13Coyote.

00:54:13Dam's guard.

00:54:15Gets away from Irabuna.

00:54:17Goes low.

00:54:19Actually gave the Everton man another chance at that.

00:54:21But it will be a Brentford corner.

00:54:27Janelt in front of the away support.

00:54:31Decent one and it's headed home!

00:54:35Captain fantastic Nathan Collins!

00:54:40Well what a start to the second half for Keith Andrews' side.

00:54:45The run's not tracked.

00:54:48The run's not tracked and it's a simple header from close range for the Irishman.

00:54:53Everton nil.

00:54:54Brentford two.

00:54:59The two.

00:55:02The two.

00:55:04The two.

00:55:07The three.

00:55:08Jensen.

00:55:09Through the legs of Keane.

00:55:11Sharder.

00:55:13Sharder.

00:55:14Tiago!

00:55:18Grandford.

00:55:19A running riot at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

00:55:26look at that from Jensen

00:55:30Thiago takes charge

00:55:32his second of the afternoon

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

00:55:40is the suspicion of an offside

00:55:42VAR are we having a look

00:55:46onside goal stands

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

00:55:52he's hug Beto

00:55:55well after what David Moyes described as

00:55:58Everton's best performance since his

00:56:00return back to the club

00:56:01away at Nottingham Forest they're following it up

00:56:04with a horror show here against

00:56:06Brentford

00:56:09Garner's ball in

00:56:10decent one, net by Torkoski

00:56:12and tipped over

00:56:13by Kelleher

00:56:17decent stop

00:56:18from underneath his crossbar

00:56:24better challenges

00:56:27higher

00:56:30so slides in and the decision is Everton

00:56:36throw

00:56:42Grealish

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

00:56:50muted celebrations

00:56:51a sterny look from David Moyes

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

00:56:59it's the first time this season

00:57:01that an Everton player has come off the bench

00:57:04and scored

00:57:06neat header

00:57:07Keller have beaten

00:57:11I think a few minutes ago maybe some Everton supporters were questioning whether or not they should see this one

00:57:17out

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

00:57:22Dam's guard

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

00:57:26does find it back to Thiago on a hat-trick and it deflects

00:57:31and into the welcome arms

00:57:32of Jordan Pickford

00:57:35the speed in which Keith Andrews' side transition

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

00:57:45roll

00:57:46goes low again

00:57:47and here's Thiago

00:57:51he's in

00:57:52on a hat-trick

00:57:54Igor Thiago

00:58:00caps a superb

00:58:02away 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

00:58:28Everton 1

00:58:29Brentford 4

00:58:34as you can see

00:58:36lots of blue empty seats

00:58:38amongst the home supporters

00:58:41they've seen more than enough

00:58:46Grealish

00:58:49Grealish

00:58:50Barry

00:58:52still time for more goals in this match

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

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

00:59:05Everton 2

00:59:06Brentford 4

00:59:11I thought we were excellent

00:59:13right from the off really

00:59:14played with a lot of personality

00:59:17conviction

00:59:18energy

00:59:18spirit

00:59:19all the aspects of the game

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

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

00:59:24ground

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

00:59:30a serious amount of respect for

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

00:59:33a result today

00:59:34but I thought we were excellent

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

00:59:38but

00:59:40no we're just a bit short at the moment

00:59:41in some areas

00:59:43but 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 we were

00:59:49disappointed defensively today

00:59:50and

00:59:52certainly 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

01:00:00a 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

01:00:17it 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

01:00:27and he truly deserves the accolades

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

01:00:30Certainly not a typical Brentford performance

01:00:32on the road this season

01:00:33they've lost 7 of 9

01:00:34but they were running rampant

01:00:35at the Hill Dickinson today

01:00:37and Thiago in particular

01:00:38off the back of 6 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 6 games

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

01:00:47over the course of the season

01:00:48Everton were poor

01:00:49this 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 9

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

01:01:08from 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

01:01:18real, 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

01:01:44and look at that

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

01:01:46across the world

01:01:47he is

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

01:01:48big tournament coming up

01:01:49in the summer isn'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 9 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

01:02:08Hill 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

01:02:25Hill Dickinson's

01:02:26a 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

01:02:35okay

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

01:02:48January will be defining

01:02:50it will certainly be tiring

01:02:51nine games over the next

01:02:5428 days for Newcastle

01:02:55in four different competitions

01:02:57Palace know all about

01:02:59hectic schedules

01:03:00this is their 32nd match

01:03:10who 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

01:03:19for a club record fee

01:03:21of £35 million

01:03:26neither side

01:03:28in good form

01:03:29at the moment

01:03:49Mitchell with the block

01:03:51Newcastle's corner

01:03:56some 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

01:04:24goalkeeper

01:04:25at the start

01:04:25of all that

01:04:27but 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

01:06:05who's in

01:06:06buried it

01:06:07what a chance

01:06:08for Will Hughes

01:06:10well he doesn't

01:06:11score many

01:06:11but he really

01:06:13should have

01:06:13buried that

01:06:14opportunity

01:06:15lovely way

01:06:16to pass

01:06:16by Pino

01:06:17and from

01:06:18there

01:06:19Hughes

01:06:19somehow

01:06:20puts it

01:06:21wide

01:06:22of the target

01:06:22and look

01:06:24at the reaction

01:06:24of Oliver

01:06:25Glasner

01:06:29now Gordon

01:06:31four round the corner

01:06:32Newcastle with four in the box

01:06:36now Tudale

01:06:37and Palace

01:06:39scramble it away

01:06:42desperate defending

01:06:44but affected defending

01:06:45by Crystal Palace

01:06:46particularly by Tyric

01:06:47Mitchell

01:06:49Joel Linton

01:06:52Barnes with his first involvement

01:06:57stop by Canberra

01:07:03sixth corner that Newcastle

01:07:04have had today

01:07:05none of them have really

01:07:06caused Palace that much

01:07:07difficulty

01:07:10came off the bar

01:07:11that one

01:07:14and by Lorcan's face

01:07:16he intended it

01:07:17look at the swing

01:07:18on that

01:07:19Henderson will argue

01:07:20that he had it covered

01:07:23now a chance for

01:07:24Miley to cross

01:07:26Gay nods away

01:07:30good a nice trip by

01:07:32Wharton

01:07:35Newcastle getting the free kick

01:07:37this is where

01:07:39Oliver Glastonel will be getting

01:07:41a little concern that

01:07:42Palace are beginning to tire

01:07:44again

01:07:47first phase dealt with

01:07:48here's the second from Barnes

01:07:50arriving back post

01:07:51is Miley

01:07:52and it's not at home

01:07:56Bruno Gimaraes

01:07:57again

01:08:00comes up

01:08:01trumps for Newcastle

01:08:05Palace's resistance

01:08:07finally broken

01:08:09and Gimaraes

01:08:11nods home

01:08:12from inside the six

01:08:13short box

01:08:14his seventh

01:08:15Premier League goal

01:08:16of the season

01:08:17and that matches

01:08:19his best ever tally

01:08:20in the Premier League

01:08:21of two seasons ago

01:08:23it's another goal

01:08:25that Palace have

01:08:26conceded from a set piece

01:08:27it has been their

01:08:28undoing

01:08:29all too often

01:08:30in recent weeks

01:08:33driven in by Murphy

01:08:34Miley

01:08:35for Cher

01:08:36and a header from Barnes

01:08:38brilliantly saved

01:08:39by Henderson

01:08:40it almost bounced

01:08:41to Whissa

01:08:43that Canva

01:08:44was there

01:08:44for Palace

01:08:45to shove it

01:08:46behind

01:08:49Newcastle

01:08:49pressing hard

01:08:50now for a second goal

01:08:53another dangerous corner

01:08:55Joel Linton

01:08:55got a touch

01:08:56and it's in

01:08:58Malik Chow

01:08:59makes it two

01:08:59to Newcastle

01:09:00and that is that

01:09:02I'm sure

01:09:03from St James'

01:09:04another set piece

01:09:06brings another goal

01:09:07against Crystal Palace

01:09:09and once again

01:09:11they have

01:09:12tired significantly

01:09:14the longer the game

01:09:15has worn on

01:09:16real pinball in there

01:09:18for a second or two

01:09:19and it's

01:09:20Chow who gets

01:09:21the vital final touch

01:09:26forward by Kimmerich

01:09:27Barnes looked like

01:09:29he timed his run

01:09:29brilliantly

01:09:30Barnes is in here

01:09:31for Newcastle

01:09:32for number three

01:09:35how was that

01:09:37put wide

01:09:37by Joe Willock

01:09:40Henderson

01:09:41did really well

01:09:42to block the effort

01:09:44from Barnes

01:09:44but it looked like

01:09:45it was just

01:09:46a temporary reprieve

01:09:48as Joe Willock

01:09:49came bursting in

01:09:50from the far side

01:09:51from there

01:09:52Joe Willock

01:09:53has found a way

01:09:54of missing the target

01:09:56but it won't matter

01:09:57Newcastle have come

01:09:59through this one

01:09:59in the end

01:10:00rather comfortably

01:10:01Newcastle 2

01:10:02Palace 0

01:10:04Two goals

01:10:05happened from

01:10:06two set plays

01:10:06and that's

01:10:07what we have

01:10:09to solve

01:10:10the problem

01:10:10conceding goals

01:10:11from set plays

01:10:11I think from our

01:10:12last six defeats

01:10:13in five games

01:10:14we just conceded

01:10:15goals from set plays

01:10:16and not one

01:10:17just every single one

01:10:18today two

01:10:18four at Leeds

01:10:19two against

01:10:20Man United

01:10:21one against Tottenham

01:10:22two at Strasbourg

01:10:23you can't win games

01:10:25this is our responsibility

01:10:29it's my responsibility

01:10:30to give the players

01:10:31better solutions

01:10:32that they can defend

01:10:33it in a better way

01:10:34I think we work

01:10:35really hard

01:10:35at our set pieces

01:10:36and pleased to see

01:10:37them come off

01:10:37and they can win

01:10:38and lose your game

01:10:39so it was a defining

01:10:40factor today

01:10:41we're coming at 0-0

01:10:42we know we could

01:10:42play better

01:10:43I thought we did

01:10:44play better

01:10:44especially with the

01:10:45introduction of the

01:10:46substitutes

01:10:46I thought they all

01:10:47made a difference

01:10:48and finally we had

01:10:49some sort of strength

01:10:50back in the squad

01:10:51today

01:10:51you could see our

01:10:51bench was much

01:10:54stronger

01:10:55and I think that

01:10:56made the difference

01:10:57so back to back

01:10:58wins for Newcastle

01:10:59United

01:10:59and that coincides

01:11:01with two Premier

01:11:02League starts

01:11:02for Johan Wisser

01:11:03he offers something

01:11:04of an Isak-esque

01:11:06quality to Newcastle

01:11:07you see the difference

01:11:08I agree totally

01:11:11Gabby

01:11:12and it was a good

01:11:13link up play

01:11:13with him and

01:11:14Gemara today

01:11:14you see in the

01:11:15picture he drops

01:11:15deep and

01:11:16Valtomar is good

01:11:16at this as well

01:11:17dropping deep

01:11:17but I like to keep

01:11:18an eye on Vissa

01:11:19his movement

01:11:19after a striker

01:11:20he drags the

01:11:21centre half out of

01:11:22position

01:11:22but he's not happy

01:11:23we can get involved

01:11:24in link 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 age

01:11:27of the box

01:11:27you know it's a

01:11:28timid sort of shot

01:11:29at the end of that

01:11:29but again he's got

01:11:30one thought in his

01:11:31mind is to get in

01:11:32the box

01:11:32and again Bruno

01:11:33receives the ball

01:11:34here look at Vissa

01:11:34his first thought is

01:11:36can he stretch the

01:11:36opposition can he

01:11:37play down the

01:11:38sides

01:11:38and again a spit

01:11:39like Isak last

01:11:40season he'd done

01:11:40that 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

01:11:45Gordon with the

01:11:47follow but the

01:11:47goal was rightly

01:11:48disallowed

01:11:48again can Bruno

01:11:49play that ball

01:11:50you see Vissa

01:11:51peeling on the

01:11:51back of the

01:11:51centre half

01:11:52that's what he's

01:11:53good at you know

01:11:54occupying the

01:11:54centre halves

01:11:55and again he

01:11:56doesn't come out

01:11:57to try and link

01:11:57up on the age of

01:11:58the box

01:11:58but maybe I've

01:11:58ultimately

01:11:58he's getting in

01:11:59the middle of the

01:12:00goal

01:12:00he's the best

01:12:00opportunity to

01:12:01score goals

01:12:01you know Palace

01:12:02just do enough to

01:12:03defend us but

01:12:04again him and

01:12:04Bruno are in the

01:12:05box here trying to

01:12:06score and Eddie

01:12:07mentioned set plays

01:12:07it's a huge part of

01:12:08the game

01:12:09we highlight Bruno in

01:12:10the middle of the

01:12:10box and we

01:12:11should mention

01:12:11Lewis Miley at the

01:12:12back who was

01:12:12absolutely brilliant

01:12:13today by the way

01:12:13keeps it alive and

01:12:15you want your

01:12:16captain to step up

01:12:16at a key moment

01:12:18the first goal in

01:12:18any game is so

01:12:19important and again

01:12:20captain fantastic

01:12:21steps up to the

01:12:22plate gets the

01:12:22all 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 pieces

01:12:40and they do have a

01:12:42terrible record

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

01:12:47you know 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 set

01:12:57plays and it's

01:12:58been 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

01:13:04or the next day

01:13:05around we need to

01:13:06be better at it

01:13:07and then the lads

01:13:08go out onto the

01:13:09pitch they give a

01:13:10corner away and

01:13:11instantly everyone's

01:13:12thinking oh no

01:13:13another corner

01:13:14you know we've

01:13:14struggled off these

01:13:15this season

01:13:15so the quicker they

01:13:16fix it the better

01:13:17easier said than done

01:13:19but I'm sure

01:13:20Glasgow will be

01:13:20working hard at it

01:13:21okay thank you

01:13:22Tottenham staggered

01:13:23into 2026 with a

01:13:24goalless 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

01:13:35Cowan

01:13:36goalless 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

01:13:51João Polinha 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 the

01:14:03Premier League Manchester

01:14:04City the latest side to

01:14:06leave the stadium of

01:14:06light frustrated

01:14:07Regis Labris names the

01:14:09same 11 with this a

01:14:10fixture former Arsenal

01:14:11man Granit Xhaka will

01:14:12have been especially

01:14:13looking forward to

01:14:19Archie Gray

01:14:21given away but Granit

01:14:23Xhaka can't keep hold

01:14:24of it

01:14:25Gray

01:14:27allowed to advance

01:14:29options right and

01:14:30left

01:14:31Serkin got a little

01:14:32touch on it

01:14:34Porro's delivery

01:14:36Mukiele

01:14:38the faintest of glances

01:14:40ahead of Rashadison

01:14:43had he not got that

01:14:45touch

01:14:45that would have been

01:14:461-0

01:14:49Thomas 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

01:14:58out of there

01:14:59and now

01:15:00and now

01:15:01Tell

01:15:02Ty

01:15:02went to place it

01:15:06really not a bad

01:15:07effort from Tell

01:15:08but

01:15:09Roof's

01:15:09but pretty sure

01:15:10that

01:15:11that was heading

01:15:12wide

01:15:15good spell

01:15:16of sustained

01:15:16pressure this

01:15:17from Tottenham

01:15:18but

01:15:18is there something

01:15:19at the end of it

01:15:20Romero

01:15:45takes it down

01:15:48Van Der Ven

01:15:48and touched in

01:15:50by Ben

01:15:51Davis

01:15:54well Tottenham

01:15:55looking 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

01:16:12and

01:16:13Mickey

01:16:13Van Der Ven

01:16:22two years

01:16:24some hope

01:16:27have won more

01:16:27points from

01:19:25the

01:19:27Thomas

01:19:28Frank

01:19:28has

01:19:30this

01:19:30section

01:19:31of the

01:19:31season

01:19:31as a

01:19:32marathon

01:19:32and I

01:19:33think

01:19:33they've

01:19:34hit the

01:19:34wall

01:19:36two

01:19:37minutes

01:19:37stoppage

01:19:38time

01:19:38remaining

01:19:41Pedro

01:19:41Porro

01:19:42can't

01:19:43slide

01:19:44Polinia

01:19:46or

01:19:46Rosewell

01:19:47but

01:19:47couldn't

01:19:49hit the

01:19:49target

01:19:49and is

01:19:50that

01:19:50Tottenham's

01:19:51final chance

01:19:54more frustration

01:19:55for the Spurs

01:19:56fans

01:19:57and a familiar

01:19:58sound for

01:19:58Thomas Frank

01:20:01what's your

01:20:02kind of message

01:20:02and is there

01:20:03an understanding

01:20:03about the

01:20:04frustration

01:20:04from the

01:20:05fans

01:20:05no but I

01:20:06think

01:20:07the first

01:20:08and foremost

01:20:08throughout the

01:20:08game

01:20:08I think

01:20:09the fans

01:20:09were very

01:20:10good

01:20:10and backing

01:20:11us

01:20:11and were

01:20:12behind the

01:20:12team

01:20:12that's

01:20:12all we're

01:20:13asking for

01:20:13after I

01:20:14always said

01:20:14that's

01:20:15different

01:20:15so and I

01:20:16also pretty

01:20:17sure that

01:20:17the fans

01:20:17they will

01:20:18acknowledge

01:20:19especially

01:20:19first half

01:20:20acknowledge

01:20:21the hard

01:20:21work

01:20:21throughout

01:20:22the game

01:20:22from the

01:20:22players

01:20:23acknowledge

01:20:23that

01:20:23they tried

01:20:24so hard

01:20:24throughout

01:20:25the game

01:20:26sometimes

01:20:26it just

01:20:26don't go

01:20:27your way

01:20:28we reach

01:20:2830 points

01:20:29this afternoon

01:20:30which is

01:20:31really positive

01:20:31for us

01:20:32and it

01:20:33gives us

01:20:33confidence

01:20:34because even

01:20:35if you go

01:20:36through a

01:20:36difficult

01:20:36period

01:20:37I think

01:20:37it was the

01:20:38case this

01:20:38afternoon

01:20:38you always

01:20:41you're always

01:20:41on the edge

01:20:42you don't

01:20:43you don't

01:20:43give up

01:20:44and the

01:20:45opponent

01:20:45I think

01:20:46can feel

01:20:47your quality

01:20:47so I think

01:20:48it's really

01:20:49positive for

01:20:49the future

01:20:50but we'll

01:20:51have another

01:20:51challenge in

01:20:52three days

01:20:52and go

01:20:53again

01:20:53we're playing

01:20:54with three

01:20:55front players

01:20:55that hasn't

01:20:56got that many

01:20:57Premier League

01:20:57goals in

01:20:57Wilson

01:20:58Mati

01:20:58and also

01:20:59Kolo

01:20:59a very good

01:21:01player

01:21:01but probably

01:21:02lack the

01:21:03final two

01:21:04three good

01:21:04actions

01:21:05and goal

01:21:05and assist

01:21:06sometimes

01:21:07you're on a

01:21:07spell where

01:21:08you need

01:21:08to work

01:21:08very hard

01:21:09to get

01:21:10the margins

01:21:10on your

01:21:11side

01:21:12frustration

01:21:13for Spurs

01:21:13because in

01:21:14that first

01:21:14half

01:21:14they looked

01:21:15far the

01:21:16better

01:21:16team

01:21:16had so

01:21:17many chances

01:21:17to put

01:21:18the game

01:21:18away

01:21:18yeah

01:21:19the game

01:21:19was there

01:21:20for them

01:21:20I preferred

01:21:21their approach

01:21:21I thought

01:21:22they were

01:21:22slightly more

01:21:23aggressive

01:21:23you can see

01:21:24here this is

01:21:24right from the

01:21:24start

01:21:25after Sunderland

01:21:26not going to

01:21:27give Sunderland

01:21:27an easy

01:21:28afternoon

01:21:28which sometimes

01:21:29it feels like

01:21:29they can

01:21:30at this stadium

01:21:31they got after

01:21:31them but then

01:21:32poor decision

01:21:33from Richarlison

01:21:33and the story

01:21:34of it was

01:21:35they just

01:21:35really lack

01:21:36quality

01:21:37it's not a

01:21:38difficult ball

01:21:38here from

01:21:39Benton Kerr

01:21:39big space

01:21:40to leave that

01:21:41in for Richarlison

01:21:42he misses it

01:21:43lose the chance

01:21:44they get it

01:21:44back again

01:21:45Colin Rwani

01:21:47again easy

01:21:48pass

01:21:48big big space

01:21:49to get that

01:21:50in with Premier

01:21:50League quality

01:21:51doesn't manage

01:21:52to find it

01:21:53Sunderland off

01:21:54the hook again

01:21:55and when Spurs

01:21:56were on top

01:21:56and Thomas Frank

01:21:57talked about

01:21:58missing some

01:21:58opportunities

01:22:00here Pedro

01:22:00Porro when he

01:22:01breaks

01:22:01he finally shows

01:22:03a moment of

01:22:03quality and you

01:22:04think this is it

01:22:04what a ball

01:22:05and then they

01:22:06lack quality on

01:22:07the end of it

01:22:07with a really

01:22:08poor first touch

01:22:09and the chance

01:22:09fizzles out

01:22:10and then when

01:22:11you need a

01:22:11moment of quality

01:22:12this Sunderland

01:22:12side never know

01:22:13when they're beat

01:22:14and this is real

01:22:15top top draw

01:22:16the moment of

01:22:16quality didn't

01:22:17come from Spurs

01:22:17it comes from

01:22:18Sunderland

01:22:19fantastic link up

01:22:20from Brobby

01:22:20and that pass

01:22:21from Le Fay

01:22:21on the volley

01:22:22to get the weight

01:22:23of it and the

01:22:24direction of it

01:22:24right

01:22:25and then an

01:22:26emphatic finish

01:22:27from Brobby

01:22:28smashes right

01:22:28through the ball

01:22:30absolutely no

01:22:30chance for the

01:22:31goalkeeper

01:22:32and this Sunderland

01:22:33train keeps on

01:22:33rolling and

01:22:34they're very

01:22:35very difficult

01:22:35to stop at the

01:22:36moment

01:22:36and there's

01:22:37pressure on

01:22:37Thomas Frank

01:22:38you could hear

01:22:38the boos

01:22:39couldn't you

01:22:39at the end

01:22:40of the game

01:22:41what do you feel

01:22:42the mood

01:22:43music is like

01:22:44around Spurs

01:22:45they're 13th

01:22:46couple of wins

01:22:46they're in the

01:22:47Champions League

01:22:47position

01:22:48it's very tight

01:22:48in the middle

01:22:49of the league

01:22:49I know that's

01:22:50not what Thomas

01:22:51Frank wants

01:22:51he wants results

01:22:52and the fans

01:22:52want results

01:22:53but I think

01:22:54Stake Wolf

01:22:54maybe

01:22:55I know Johnson's

01:22:55left this week

01:22:56maybe he'll get

01:22:56money in the

01:22:57January window

01:22:57to strengthen

01:22:58his squad

01:22:59and push them

01:22:59up the league

01:25:33one of your

01:25:34other old

01:25:35teams as a

01:25:35player

01:25:35West Ham

01:25:36in big

01:25:36trouble

01:25:37yeah it seems

01:25:38that way

01:25:38doesn't it

01:25:38I thought

01:25:39that when

01:25:40they appointed

01:25:40Nuno

01:25:41that they would

01:25:42start to move

01:25:42themselves away

01:25:43and we'd see

01:25:43an upturn

01:25:44it hasn't

01:25:45hasn't quite

01:25:45gone that way

01:25:46yet

01:25:46I'm sure

01:25:46they'll be

01:25:47doing their

01:25:47best in

01:25:48January

01:25:48to give

01:25:49him some

01:25:49support

01:25:49and try

01:25:50and give

01:25:50themselves

01:25:51an opportunity

01:25:51because that

01:25:52gap just

01:25:52seems to be

01:25:53widening

01:25:53you know

01:25:54Nottingham

01:25:54Forest

01:25:54haven't quite

01:25:55capitalised

01:25:55but Leeds

01:25:56have moved

01:25:56themselves
