00:04And what a dreadful Christmas Eve here at Stamford Bridge for this match of the day between Chelsea and Liverpool.
00:10Torrential rain last night, but tonight has made this pitch look rather like a paddy feel, or a Christmas pudding
00:16gone wrong.
00:18Nevertheless, a good crowd here. A lot of people have come from Liverpool, made this long journey on Christmas Eve.
00:27Now the Chelsea team, Thompson, will be at number two in rather a surprise choice to some people, instead of
00:37Kerkhoff, anyway.
00:39And number seven is Boyle, and we wish not only a Merry Christmas tomorrow, but also a happy birthday.
00:46He'll be 20 years of age tomorrow.
00:49Liverpool team, playing in their traditional colours of all red.
00:53They have their strongest team out, just as Chelsea have.
00:57And among their team is number eight, a man to watch, Roger Hunt, top scorer for Liverpool and for England.
01:05And watching him closer than anyone is the Chelsea manager, Tommy Doherty.
01:10There he is on the extreme left, in his box high above the pitch with the coach, Jimmy Andrews, next
01:15to him.
01:16And it's Chelsea who kick off.
01:18Chelsea wearing black armbands, in memory of Harry Winston, one of their grand staff, who died last night.
01:26Chelsea, remember, in the white stockings.
01:28They won't be white for very long, I shouldn't think, but this is the only identification we can have between
01:34these two teams.
01:39Chelsea, who've drawn their last five matches, three of them at home, who haven't won at home since October the
01:4726th.
01:49But nevertheless, if they win today, they'll have a Christmas present, because they'll be the fairy at the top of
01:55the Christmas tree tonight.
01:56They'll be on top of Manchester United on goal average.
02:07Strong, strong, well, Stephenson.
02:31Strong, strong.
02:33Six, Stephenson.
02:36Steph, strong.
02:41The go-mouths are very, very soft indeed, and that's why number 10, so Cliff Strong almost deceived Fennetti.
02:48Now, this is Hollands.
02:59No fortune favours the brave under conditions like these.
03:10Callaghan.
03:16That's the fighting no match to St John way on the far side.
03:23Callaghan. Oh, it could be the first goal for Liverpool.
03:30And the cameraman, Heitbach, presumably wouldn't they work for Liverpool takers.
03:36Boyle to Hayley. Now to Cook. Cook operating on the flanks.
03:41Doesn't want to get bogged down in the mud at the middle. He can help it.
03:45Beautiful ball to Hayley, number 9.
03:51Mel Yates.
03:56It's also beginning to come forward.
04:04Thompson.
04:05Thompson.
04:09That is how Hollands was waiting in reserve behind the pullback. Thompson then to take off Peter Thompson.
04:16That's a fine young man.
04:18Corner to Liverpool.
04:22Peter Thompson to take it.
04:25Lawler has gone up into the penalty area.
04:27There's a man to watch out for.
04:29And a goal!
04:30You'd have been scored by Hinton.
04:35But into the wrong net.
04:3821 minutes gone.
04:40And Marvin Hinton is put for his own goal to put Liverpool 1-0 in the league.
04:45Now let's look again to see how Hinton was caught in a bad position.
04:49There's Thompson with the corner.
04:50Obviously an in-swinger.
04:52Now then, watch Hinton coming.
04:53He's much too far out.
04:55And he's in a bad position now.
04:56He tries to head clear, but right by the side of Thompson's legs.
05:00And that's the first goal for him.
05:02White stockings.
05:06Mill for Liverpool.
05:08Mill for Liverpool.
05:11Yes! Yes! Yes! Yes!
05:13Liverpool.
05:14A very accurate short game.
05:18Now Tambling, not been in the game much, but look at that ball.
05:21To Hayley.
05:22Hayley versus Yates.
05:24Yates the winner, but here comes Tambling.
05:26Yates still the winner.
05:33And we'll just take it up for Tambling.
05:40And...
05:41By the way it was deflected at corner.
05:47I don't know whether Lawrence touched it, but it was certainly deflected en route.
05:51That's number 11, Tambling.
05:53Chelsea's top goalscorer.
05:56Cook with the corner for...
05:59Chelsea.
06:02Boyle.
06:05Another corner.
06:06That really was a great save.
06:08By Lawrence.
06:10Who every time he uses any physical exertion, of course, shows his bare midriff.
06:17Liverpool penalty area at the moment.
06:19Goal.
06:24Goal.
06:25Harris.
06:28A corner kick.
06:29It came off a defender.
06:31And then off the foot of the post.
06:34Lucky a let off for Liverpool.
06:37Now the Chelsea fans have a chance to cheer.
06:41Tambling with the corner.
06:46Cook.
06:49Another corner.
06:55Well, it's all happening now.
06:59Cook with this corner.
07:04Hudgens.
07:10and the umpteenth corner for Chelsea

07:27Preeti to Cook
