00:01:13AGAINST IPSWICH WHO KNEW ANYTHING BUT A WIN WOULD SEE THEIR RELEGATION CONFIRMED

00:01:17COMMENTARY FROM STEVE BAHL

00:01:21NEWCASTLE HOPE THE RETURN OF THE MANAGER HELPS RETURN THEM TO WINNING WAYS

00:01:26AS THEY EYE AN 11TH HOME WIN IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE THIS SEASON

00:01:30HAVING NAMED AN UNCHANGED TEAM FOR SEVEN GAMES IN A ROW

00:01:35AND WON SIX OF THEM

00:01:36THERE'S ONE IN FORCE CHANGE TODAY

00:01:38JOE LINTON HAS A KNEE INJURY

00:01:40SO JOE WILLICK STARTS

00:01:42SVEN BOTTMAN IS FIT ENOUGH

00:01:43TO RETURN TO THE SUBSTITUTE'S BENCH

00:01:46IPSWICH WHO'VE MANAGED TWICE AS MANY POINTS AWAY FROM HOME THIS SEASON

00:01:50ARE WITHOUT TEN FIRST TEAM PLAYERS

00:01:52ADDED TO BY THE SUSPENDED LEAF DAVIS

00:01:54THEY MAKE FOUR CHANGES

00:01:56INCLUDING THE RETURN OF TOP SCORER LIHAM DE LAP

00:01:59AFTER TWO GAMES AS A SUBSTITUTE DUE TO A RID PROBLEM

00:02:02BURGESS, TAYLOR AND WOLFENDON

00:02:04ALSO ALL-START

00:02:06BRILLIANT TO SEE THAT MAN

00:02:10BACK IN THE NEWCASTLE DOUGHOUT

00:02:12AND HE GOT A TERRIFIC RECEPTION

00:02:13AS YOU WOULD EXPECT FROM THE NEWCASTLE FANS

00:02:15WHEN HE EMERGED FROM THE TUNNEL

00:02:17BURN

00:02:20OH, THAT'S AN AWFUL BALL BY DAN BURN

00:02:22STRAIGHT TO CLARK

00:02:24TRIPPIER BACK TO HELP OUT

00:02:26AND IT TRICKLED JUST WIDE OF THE POST IN THE END

00:02:28IT WAS A LONG, HARD STARE

00:02:31FROM DAN BURN

00:02:33IT WAS DEFLECTED ALONG THE WAY

00:02:34AND MISCUED THAT COMPLETELY

00:02:37Kieran McCANNASIDE 14 POINTS AWAY FROM HOME THIS SEASON

00:02:41BUT WHAT'S REALLY HURT THEM IS JUST SEVEN AT PORTMAN ROAD

00:02:45TRIPPIER'S DELIVERY

00:02:47JUST OVER ISAAC BARNES WAS COMING IN

00:02:49OH, IT'S GONE IN

00:02:51SURELY THAT'S A FOUL IT IS

00:02:53BRUNO GIMERAIS ON ALEX PALMER

00:02:55NOW JAMES BELL IN VAR WILL DOUBLE-CHECK THIS

00:02:58HE STANDS IN FRONT OF HIM

00:03:00ALEX PALMER DIDN'T COVER HIMSELF IN GLORY MIND

00:03:10VAR SAY NO GOAL

00:03:12NOW MORSI AND WILLICK JUST OFF THE BALL

00:03:24RENEWING ACQUAINTANCES THERE

00:03:26AND VAR HAVE ASKED THE REFEREE TO DELAY THE GAME

00:03:30A LITTLE GRAPPLING AND THE BALL WAS ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE PITCH

00:03:36AND THAT HAS BEEN CHECKED AND CLEARED

00:03:40GAME CONTINUES

00:03:42AND THE RAMENTO WITH A WELL-TIMED CHALLENGE

00:03:48BUT THEN JOHNSON IN AHEAD OF TONALI

00:03:50IT'S BEN JOHNSON FOR IPSWIC

00:03:52NOW NO CONTACT

00:03:56AND THIS SHOULD BE A YELLOW CAR FOR BEN JOHNSON

00:03:59AND IT IS

00:04:00FROM MICHAEL SALESBREG

00:04:02BECAUSE HE WAS RIGHT UP WITH PLAY

00:04:04AND I THINK HE'S GOT THAT BANG ON

00:04:06DAN BURN PULLS OUT

00:04:09AND OVER GOES JOHNSON

00:04:14LIVERMENTO

00:04:19BARNES WITH THE DELIVERY AND ISAK

00:04:21OVER THE BAR, IT CAME AT HIM QUICKLY

00:04:24IT'S THE FIRST SNIFF OF GOAL

00:04:26THE TOP SCORERS HAD ALL DAY

00:04:28NOT TOO MANY CROSSES LIKE THIS

00:04:30HAVE COME IN SO FAR FROM NEWCASTLE

00:04:32JUST COULDN'T GET OVER IT

00:04:37MURPHY'S CROSS, OH, AND ISAK AGAIN

00:04:42THAT WAS A BETTER CHANCE

00:04:44ONE AFTER ANOTHER

00:04:46THE MAN WHO GOT A HAT-TRICK

00:04:48AGAINST IPSWIC EARLIER IN THE SEASON

00:04:50NO SUBLIME FINISH

00:04:52ON THIS OCCASION

00:04:57HE'S OUT BEAUTIFULLY

00:04:58RAND JOHNSON WHO'S ALREADY ON A YELLOW

00:05:00AND IS IN TROUBLE

00:05:02THERE'S THE SECOND ONE

00:05:04BEN JOHNSON SENT OFF

00:05:06AND IT SWITCHED DOWN TO TEN

00:05:10IT'S A FIFTH PREMIER LEAGUE

00:05:14RED CARD ALL SEASON

00:05:16FOR KIRAN MCKENNA'S MEN

00:05:18AND THEY'RE GOING TO HAVE TO PLAY

00:05:20ALMOST 55 MINUTES OF THIS ONE

00:05:22WITH TEN

00:05:24TWO YELLOW CARDS INSIDE SEVEN MINUTES

00:05:28IT'S THE FIRST TIME IN BEN JOHNSON'S CAREER

00:05:32HE'S BEEN SENT OFF

00:05:34TONALI

00:05:36HEADED BACK ACROSS

00:05:40AND OFF THE LINE

00:05:42SURVIVING

00:05:44JUST ABOUT

00:05:46LUKE WOLTHENDON THERE

00:05:48WITH THE SPECTACULAR CLEARANCE

00:05:50THE PRESSURE REALLY BEING CRANKED UP

00:05:52HERE FROM NEWCASTLE

00:05:54WITH THE SPECTACULAR EFFORT

00:05:56AND LUKE WOLTHENDON

00:05:58KEPT HIS EYES FIRMLY

00:06:00ON THE BALL

00:06:02TONALI

00:06:06IN FROM GIMARICE

00:06:08BURNS IN THERE

00:06:10HE'S ACTUALLY COMPLETELY OFF BALANCE

00:06:12BUT ACTUALLY

00:06:14HE'S FOUND JACOB MURPHY

00:06:16HE'S PICKED OUT TONALI

00:06:18AND ANOTHER FOLLOW-UP

00:06:20NO

00:06:22HARVEY BARNES THOUGHT HE'D SQUEEZED IT HOME

00:06:26AND SOMEHOW

00:06:28IT'S STILL NIL-NIL

00:06:30AND IT'S ALL GOING ON

00:06:36GIMARICE

00:06:38IS THAT A PENALTY?

00:06:40NO

00:06:41ST JAMES'S PARK FURIOUS

00:06:44AND CISO ON MURPHY

00:07:28IN THOSE CHARTS

00:07:30AND JUST BEFORE HALF TIME THAT WILL SETTLE DOWN THE HOSTS

00:07:34AND

00:07:38MORSI RAN INTO TRIPIA

00:07:40BARNES HAS ISAK AWAY TO HIS LEFT

00:07:42HE'S SEEN HIM

00:07:44NEWCASTLE'S TOP SCORER

00:07:45TRY TO GUIDE IT THROUGH

00:07:46DEFLECTED ALONG THE WAY

00:07:48NEWCASTLE CORNER

00:07:50THEY'VE HAD EIGHT OF THEM NOW

00:07:52AND THIS ONE'S GONE QUICKLY SHORT

00:07:57TRIPIA

00:07:59JUST NEEDS NOTTING IN

00:08:01AND THERE HE IS

00:08:03BIG DAN BURN TO DO JUST THAT

00:08:06HE HAS A PREMIER LEAGUE GOAL

00:08:09TO ADD TO HIS CUP FINAL GOAL

00:08:11AND NEWCASTLE HAVE A 2-0 LEAD

00:08:15WITH A QUICK CORNER ROUTINE

00:08:17TRIPIA WITH THE DELIVERY ASKING

00:08:20TO BE NODDED IN

00:08:22AND FOR SOMEONE LIKE DAN BURN

00:08:24THAT WAS AN INVITATION

00:08:25WHO SIMPLY HAD TO ACCEPT

00:08:27A SETTLING GOAL

00:08:29AROUND ST JAMES'S PARK

00:08:31WHO KNOWS THE CONFIRMATION

00:08:34IS COMING AS IT STANDS

00:08:36OF RELEGATION WITH FOUR GAMES TO SPARE

00:08:39IN WHICH CASE INCIDENTALLY

00:08:41IT WILL BE THE FIRST TIME

00:08:42IN PREMIER LEAGUE HISTORY

00:08:44THAT ALL THREE RELEGATIONS

00:08:46HAVE BEEN CONFIRMED WITH FOUR GAMES TO GO

00:08:52WILSON

00:08:56MILES

00:08:57MILES

00:08:58LOOK AT THE SPACE HERE FOR TRIPIA

00:09:00GREEVES AGAIN

00:09:02NOT FOR THE FIRST TIME TODAY

00:09:03THROWS HIMSELF AT IT

00:09:04NEWCASTLE CORNER

00:09:06WE'VE SEEN A FEW SHORT ONES TODAY

00:09:08THIS ONE'S MORE DIRECT

00:09:09WE'VE SEEN A FEW SHORT ONES TODAY

00:09:11THIS ONE'S MORE DIRECT

00:09:12THIS ONE'S MORE DIRECT

00:09:14ASSULA

00:09:15WE'VE SEEN A FEW SHORT ONES TODAY

00:09:48WHAT'S IT BEEN LIKE WITH EVERYONE WELCOMING YOU BACK

00:09:50HAVE YOU REALLY FELT THE LOVE TODAY

00:09:52YEAH I'VE BEEN VERY MUCH IN GAME MODE

00:09:54SO YOU DON'T NECESSARILY OPEN YOURSELF UP TO IT

00:09:56BUT I'M VERY AWARE THAT PEOPLE HAVE BEEN VERY KIND

00:09:58AND VERY WARM WITH ME

00:09:59AND IT'S HUGELY APPRECIATED

00:10:01HE CAME BACK IN TRAINING THE OTHER DAY

00:10:03AND HE SAID HE WAS GOING TO BE A BIT MORE QUIET

00:10:05AND PROBABLY NOT AS ENERGETIC

00:10:06AND THEN HE'D ALREADY STOPPED TRAINING

00:10:07WITHIN 30 SECONDS

00:10:08AND WAS GIVING MORE BIT

00:10:09SO YEAH NO IT WAS GREAT TO HAVE HIM IN

00:10:11AS I SAID HE'S A LEADER

00:10:12HE HOLDS US TO THE STANDARDS

00:10:13AND I THOUGHT WE DID A GREAT JOB WHILE HE WAS AWAY

00:10:16BECAUSE HE IS A BIG MISS

00:10:17KIERAN FIRST OF ALL

00:10:19I GUESS YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING

00:10:20BUT THE RELEGATION NOW CONFIRMED

00:10:22WHAT ARE YOUR EMOTIONS AFTER THAT

00:10:23THERE'S A TIME TO SPEAK ON THESE THINGS

00:10:25TODAY THE MATHEMATICAL COMPLETION

00:10:29IT DOESN'T CHANGE TOO MUCH

00:10:31WE'VE BEEN THROUGH THE EMOTIONS

00:10:32AND WE'RE LOOKING TO THE FUTURE

00:10:34HOW BIG A BOOST IS THIS WIN FOR THE CHAMPIONS LEAGUE RACE

00:10:37IS IT SOMETHING PSYCHOLOGICAL NOW TO BE IN THIRD PLACE

00:10:40IT'S GOING TO GO RIGHT DOWN TO THE WIRE I GUESS

00:10:41IT WILL GO DOWN TO THE WIRE I THINK

00:10:43I THINK THE IMPORTANT THING TODAY

00:10:44IS WE BOUNCE BACK FROM LAST WEEK

00:10:45WHICH WAS A DISAPPOINTING DEFEAT

00:10:47BUT WE'VE BEEN VERY CONSISTENT

00:10:49AND IT'S A REAL GOOD RETURN TO A POSITIVE RESULT

00:10:51NOW WE HAVE FOUR HUGE GAMES

00:10:53WE'RE FRUSTRATED WITH THE FIRST YELLOW CARD

00:10:56TO BE HONEST AND I THINK IT CHANGES THE GAME

00:10:59BEN'S RUNNING AT THE LAST MAN

00:11:00HE KNOCKS IT PAST HIM

00:11:02DAN BURN STICKS HIS LEG AND HIS KNEE OUT

00:11:04AND THERE'S PROBABLY MINIMUM CONTACT

00:11:06BUT THERE'S CONTACT THERE

00:11:08I DON'T THINK BEN HAS TAKEN A DIVE IN HIS LIFE

00:11:10UNNESS SOMEONE SHOWS ME SOMETHING FROM HIS PREVIOUS CAREER

00:11:13I DON'T THINK HE'S GOT IT IN HIM

00:11:15SO YEAH I THINK IT WAS AN UNNECESSARY YELLOW CARD

00:11:18SO IT WAS GOALLLESS

00:11:20WHEN THEY WERE REDUCED TO 10 IPSWICH

00:11:22SO FRUSTRATION THAT THEY WERE REDUCED TO 10

00:11:25AND FRUSTRATION THAT THERE WAS

00:11:27THE FIRST YELLOW CARD WAS FOR DIVING

00:11:29YEAH YEAH YOU WERE

00:11:30YOU'RE USED TO THE WORD DIVE IN THERE

00:11:31I THINK THIS IS WHY I REALLY WANT TO GO INTO THIS

00:11:33BECAUSE KIRA MCKENNA HAS JUST BEEN VERY CLEAR

00:11:36ON HOW HE FEELS ABOUT IT

00:11:37AND I WANT TO EXPLAIN WHAT'S GOING ON HERE

00:11:39BECAUSE DIVING AND YELLOW CARD

00:11:42AND SIMULATION THERE'S SO MUCH MORE TO IT

00:11:44AT FULL SPEED HERE

00:11:45JOHNSON IS ABSOLUTELY FLYING

00:11:46HE'S FLYING AT DAN BURN

00:11:48HE'S LOOKING TO SCORE A GOAL

00:11:49NIL-NIL LIKE WE SAY

00:11:50AND EVEN IN THIS REPLAY

00:11:52IS THERE CONTACT?

00:11:53I DON'T THINK THERE IS

00:11:54I REALLY DON'T THINK THIS IS A FOUL

00:11:56BUT I WANT TO TELL YOU WHY JOHNSON GOES OVER

00:11:58ONCE HE'S IN THIS POSITION

00:11:59HE KNOCKS IT ROUND DAN BURN

00:12:01DAN BURN'S THE BIGGEST PLAYER ON THE PITCH

00:12:02STRONGEST PLAYER ON THE PITCH

00:12:04THAT BIG LEFT LEG COMING OUT

00:12:05AS JOHNSON'S IN FULL FLOW

00:12:07HIS INSTINCT AS A HUMAN BEING

00:12:08WHEN HE SEES THAT

00:12:09IS TO BRACE FOR IMPACT

00:12:11AND AT THIS MOMENT

00:12:12HE'S HITTING THAT LEG

00:12:13BUT DAN BURN DOES SO WELL HERE

00:12:15THAT SLIGHT MOVEMENT

00:12:16JUST TO PULL HIS LEG AWAY

00:12:18BUT JOHNSON'S ALREADY MADE THAT COMMITMENT IN HIS HEAD

00:12:20I'M BRACING MYSELF FOR IMPACT

00:12:22I'M GOING TO MINIMIZE THE INJURY HERE

00:12:24AND DOWN HE GOES

00:12:25AND THEN WE'RE GOING TO SEE IT AGAIN

00:12:27AT A DECENT SPEED

00:12:29AND WE'RE GOING TO REALIZE

00:12:30HOW WELL THE REFEREE DOES TO SEE THIS

00:12:32NOW WHAT LOOK

00:12:33WHAT I'M SAYING THAT'S A DEFINITE YELLOW CARD

00:12:34BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT YOU SEE

00:12:36WHEN YOU SEE SIMULATION

00:12:37YOU DON'T THINK CHEAP

00:12:38THAT'S JUST THE SPEED OF THE GAME

00:12:40BUT ONCE YOU'RE ON THE YELLOW CARD

00:12:41YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS DECISION

00:12:43THIS IS SUCH A CLEAR-CUT YELLOW CARD

00:12:45AND WHAT IT DOES EARLY ON IN THE GAME

00:12:4837TH MINUTE

00:12:49YOUR TEAM ARE DOWN TO 10 MEN

00:12:50YOU'RE STRUGGLING

00:12:51AND YOU'RE GOING TO LOSE THE GAME QUITE COMFORTABLY

00:12:52SO ACTUALLY THERE'S QUITE A SUBTLE DIFFERENCE THERE

00:12:54THAT'S A VERY REASONABLE EXPANATION OF IT

00:12:57YEAH, HE DID GO OVER WITHOUT BEING TOUCHED

00:12:59BUT THERE'S A REASON FOR IT

00:13:01YEAH, IT'S NOT CHEATING

00:13:03HE'S NOT LOOKING TO CHEAT THE GAME

00:13:04THERE ARE

00:13:05THERE'S DEFINITELY MOMENTS IN A FOOTBALL GAME

00:13:07WHERE YOU SEE IT AND PEOPLE GO DOWN

00:13:08THEY ROLL AROUND

00:13:09BUT THAT WAS JUST AT FULL SPEED

00:13:11A HUMAN INSTINCT

00:13:13TO SEE A BLOCK

00:13:14AND GET YOURSELF OUT THE WAY

00:13:15AND DAN BURN DOES SO WELL TO REMOVE THAT LEFT LEG

00:13:18DO YOU AGREE WITH HIM?

00:13:19BECAUSE THAT'S ANNOYINGLY PERSUASIVE

00:13:21THAT ARGUMENT

00:13:22YEAH, HE'S PERSUASED ME ALL AFTER

00:13:23YEAH

00:13:24I THINK FOR ME THE FURSTRAINTING THING IS

00:13:26HIS TOUCH IS SO GOOD TO GET PAST DAN BURN

00:13:29I THINK IF HE CAN ACTUALLY GET ON THE END OF THAT TOUCH

00:13:31IT'S GOT LIVERMENTO COMING AROUND THE BACK

00:13:33AND I THINK THEN YOU'VE PROBABLY GOT MORE OF A CHANCE

00:13:35OF GETTING A PENALTY IN THAT AREA WITH CONTACTS

00:13:37SO I UNDERSTAND WHAT JOAN IS SAYING

00:13:39BUT I THINK FOR ME I WANT PLAYERS TO BE ABLE TO TRY

00:13:41AND GET PAST THESE PLAYERS

00:13:42AND CREATE GALL SCORING OPPORTUNITIES

00:13:44NO DOUBT ABOUT THE PENALTY EITHER?

00:13:46NO

00:13:47WE SAID STRAIGHT AWAY

00:13:48AS SOON AS WE SAW IT

00:13:50AND IT WASN'T GIVEN

00:13:51IT WAS A SURPRISE IF HONEST

00:13:53YOU KNOW MURPHY

00:13:54GREAT PASS FROM BRUNO

00:13:55AND WE SAID PENALTY STRAIGHT AWAY

00:13:56AND WE SAID PENALTY STRAIGHT AWAY

00:13:57THE REFEREE DIDN'T GIVE IT

00:13:58AGAIN HE'S PROBABLY THINKING

00:14:00ISN'T HE MICHAEL SALSBURY

00:14:01WHETHER HE'S GONE DOWN TOO SOON

00:14:03YES I THINK SO

00:14:04BUT THEN OBVIOUSLY VAR COMES IN

00:14:06MICHAEL SALSBURY IS ASKED TO TAKE A RONALDO FREE KICK

00:14:08AND CHECK THE VAR ALL AT THE SAME TIME

00:14:11AND THEN THE RIGHT DECISION IS MADE

00:14:13IT'S IN THE BOX

00:14:14THE CONTACTS THERE

00:14:15AND ISAK STEPS UP

00:14:17AND DOES WHAT HE'S DONE ALL SEASON

00:14:19SCORES A HUGE GOAL

00:14:20AND THAT WAS GAME OVER

00:14:21IT'S HARD ISN'T IT

00:14:22NOT TO FEEL SORRY

00:14:23FOR THE THREE PROMOTED CLUBS

00:14:25BECAUSE YET AGAIN THEY ARE GOING DOWN

00:14:27RELEGATION CONFIRMED EARLIER THAN EVER BEFORE

00:14:29WITH FOUR GAMES TO GO

00:14:31BUT THE QUESTION IS

00:14:32YOU KNOW

00:14:33WHAT CAN PROMOTED CLUBS DO AT THE MOMENT

00:14:35IT'S HARD CHAPPERS

00:14:36BECAUSE THIS IS THE SECOND SEASON IN A ROW

00:14:38THAT ALL THREE PROMOTED TEAMS HAVE BEEN RELEGATED

00:14:40AND THIS IS THE FIRST TIME THAT

00:14:41THESE THREE TEAMS HAVE BEEN RELEGATED

00:14:43WITH FOUR GAMES TO GO IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

00:14:45SO THERE'S JUST SUCH A BIG GULF IN CLASS

00:14:47AND I THINK FOR ME

00:14:48IPSWITCH HAVE REALLY COME IN THIS LEAGUE

00:14:50AND GAVE IT A RIGHT GOOD GO

00:14:51IN TERMS OF THE PLAYERS THAT THEY'VE BOUGHT

00:14:53THEY'VE HAD BACK-TO-BACK PROMOTIONS

00:14:55BUT I THINK IT ALL COMES DOWN TO THAT QUALITY

00:14:58BUT ALSO WE HAD A CONVERSATION BEFORE

00:15:00ABOUT THE TACTICS

00:15:01I THINK WE WANT TO PLAY THIS EXPANSIVE FOOTBALL

00:15:03BUT UNTEMANALLY THAT FIRST SEASON

00:15:04SO IMPORTANT JUST TO STAY IN THE LEAGUE

00:15:06IT IS THOUGH IS IT

00:15:07I MEAN IF OUR GAME IS BUILT ON PROMOTION

00:15:09AND RELEGATION

00:15:10YOU NEED THINGS TO CHANGE

00:15:12YOU CAN'T HAVE A CLOSED SHOT

00:15:13HEY IT'S TOUGH

00:15:14AND I THINK A LOT OF LESSONS

00:15:15WE LEARN FROM THESE TWO SEASONS

00:15:16AND PEOPLE ARE GOING TO HAVE

00:15:17A DIFFERENT MINDSET COMING INTO THE LEAGUE

00:15:19OKAY

00:15:20NOW BRIGHTON WERE WITHOUT A WIN IN FIVE

00:15:22BUT TAKING ON A WEST HAMSIDE

00:15:23WHO WERE WITHOUT A WIN IN THEIR LAST SIX

00:15:25JOHN RODER WAS AT THE AMEX

00:15:27CHELSEY LOST 4-1 HERE IN GRAHAM POTTER'S PREVIOUS VISIT

00:15:31BACK TO THE AMEX

00:15:32A POINT WOULD BE ENOUGH FOR THE HAMMERS

00:15:34TO GUARANTEE THEIR PREMIER LEAGUE PLACE FOR NEXT SEASON

00:15:36BRIGHTON STILL HAVE HOPES OF QUALIFYING FOR EUROPE

00:15:39JAEL PETRA IS SUSPENDED

00:15:41JAN PAUL VAN HECKER OUT WITH CONCUSSION

00:15:43THREE CHANGES FOR BRIGHTON

00:15:45A FIRST LEAGUE START THIS SEASON FOR SOLY MARCH

00:15:48SIMON ADDINGA AND YASIN AYARI ALSO COME IN

00:15:51LAMPTY AND VELTMAN ON THE BENCH

00:15:53AFTER RECOVERING FROM INJURIES

00:15:55THREE CHANGES ALSO FOR WEST HAM

00:16:04POTTER SAYS THAT IS NOT AS A RESULT

00:16:06OF THE GERMAN'S FORTHRIGHT VIEWS

00:16:08IN A POST-MATCH INTERVIEW LAST WEEKEND

00:16:27INTO THE MIDDLE AND INTO THE SIDE

00:16:29NETTING FROM SUCHEK

00:16:33LOVELY FLOWING FOOTBALL HERE FROM WEST HAM

00:16:36SUCHEK IN A BIT OF SPACE THERE

00:16:38AND MIGHT FEEL HE COULD HAVE DONE A LITTLE BETTER

00:16:42ONE WORRY FOR BRIGHTON IS THAT THEY'VE CONCEDED

00:16:44AT LEAST TWO GOALS IN EACH OF THEIR LAST FIVE GAMES

00:16:47IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

00:16:50THAT'S DUPINYA

00:16:52A DINGA OVER ON THAT FAR SIDE

00:16:54FACED BY WAN BISACA

00:17:12IT'S HIS FIRST GOAL FOR BRIGHTON AND HOME ALBION

00:17:15THE SWEDISH INTERNASHBILLE

00:17:19WITH A SWEET STRIKE

00:17:21HAD TIME TO PICK HIS SPOT

00:17:24AND PICKED IT TO PERFECTION

00:17:27SUPER GOAL FROM AYARI

00:17:31FROM AYARI

00:17:35FROM THEIR 13 PREMIER LEAGUE MATCHES SO FAR

00:17:37UNDER GRAHAM POTTER

00:17:39ONLY THE BOTTOM THREE

00:17:41SOUTH HAMPTON LESTER AND IPSWIC

00:17:43HAVE PICKED UP FEWER POINTS

00:17:45SINCE HIS APPOINTMENT

00:17:47KILMEN

00:17:51DELICATE BALL INTO THE MIDDLE

00:17:52OFF THE BAR

00:17:54WAS IT TIPPED ONTO THE BAR

00:17:56BY VERBROGAN

00:17:57FROM SUCHEK'S HEADER

00:17:59WESTHAM'S BEST CHANCE OF THE MATCH SO FAR

00:18:02IT'S A TERRIFIC BALL IN HERE

00:18:05INVITING THE HEADER

00:18:07SUCHEK ON THE END OF IT

00:18:09VERBROGAN JUST GETS FINGERTIPS TO IT

00:18:12WHAT A HAPPY RETURN TO THE AMEX SO FAR

00:18:15FOR GRAHAM POTTER

00:18:19SUCHEK

00:18:22WAN PISACA

00:18:25BOWEN

00:18:27LOOK AT THE ROOM THAT HE HAS

00:18:28JARROD BOWEN TO TRY AND PLACE IT INTO THE MIDDLE

00:18:31AND IT IS THE EQUALIZER

00:18:34MOHAMMED KUDOS

00:18:36AND HE SCORES AGAINST BRIGHTON

00:18:38FOR THE SECOND TIME THIS SEASON

00:18:41SO MUCH ROOM HERE FOR JARROD BOWEN

00:18:43AND SOMEHOW HE WAS ABLE TO THREAD IT THROUGH

00:18:46A CROWD OF BRIGHTON DEFENDERS

00:18:49THE GARNEIAN INTERNATIONAL APPLYING THE FINISHING TOUCH

00:18:52AND WE'RE ALL SQUARE

00:18:531-1 AT THE AMEX

00:18:58MARCH JUST RUNS AWAY FROM IT

00:19:03BRIGHTON CORNER

00:19:08WEST TOWN HAVE EVERYBODY BACK

00:19:12WEEFER WITH THE HEADER

00:19:14PUSHED AWAY BY ARIOLA

00:19:15DUNK

00:19:18BRIGHTON ALMOST RESTORING THEIR LEAD

00:19:21WEEFER'S HEADER BLOCKED BY ARIOLA

00:19:28BRIGHTON HERSELA'S SIDE HAVE LOST THREE OF THEIR LAST FOUR IN THE PREMIER LEAGUE

00:19:32WILL THEY BE PICKING UP POINTS TODAY

00:19:35ALL GIVEN AWAY

00:19:41ALL GIVEN AWAY

00:19:42BOWEN

00:19:43BRIGHTON HAVE REGROUPED QUICKLY

00:19:45GET THAT?

00:19:48WAN BASAKA TO DRIVE IN A GOAL FOR BRUGEN WITH THE SAVE

00:19:52RIGHT LOOK TO BE IN A BIT OF TROUBLE HERE

00:19:57SPACE FOR WAN BASAKA TO LINE UP HIS SHOT

00:20:01space for Wan-Bissaka to line up his shot. Avropanos.

00:20:11Kudas caught in possession. Minte. Oh, just slipped at the vital moment.

00:20:18Ayari towards Mitsubo. It's Dupinian! Straight out, Arreola, who didn't have a great deal of time to react.

00:20:33Struck really well here by the Brighton man. Are we going to get a winning goal?

00:20:41Or is it going to end 1-1 for the second time this season?

00:20:45It's Dupinian. Oh, let that one bounce.

00:20:51Bowen.

00:20:57Bowen again.

00:20:59Lovely ball into the middle, back by Suchek!

00:21:05West Ham in front. Thomas Suchek has turned this one around in the Hammers' favour.

00:21:13Wan-Bissaka with a little back heel.

00:21:16Bowen searching, teasing cross.

00:21:20And Suchek's on the end of it.

00:21:23His eighth goal of the season for West Ham.

00:21:27And it may well have earned them all three points.

00:21:31If West Ham hold on for the victory, it will be just their fifth away win of the campaign.

00:21:37fight.

00:21:45And back into the middle, Mitoma.

00:21:472-2!

00:21:48Karen Mitoma with the equalizer for Brighton

00:21:57The ball headed back into the middle

00:22:03And Mitoma is there

00:22:05Grudas, header, cushioned perfectly

00:22:10Two substitutes combining

00:22:13And it's all square once again

00:22:18It's Dupina, looking to curl it in behind

00:22:21That'll be a corner

00:22:22Comes off Bowen

00:22:25Taken quickly

00:22:30Minte hurls it long

00:22:33Away by Arreola

00:22:37Brighton still pressing

00:22:38In search of a dramatic late winner

00:22:41And they've got it

00:22:43Carlos Beliba

00:22:46Oh, what a celebration

00:22:48From not only the goalscorer

00:22:50But all around the Amex stadium

00:22:52Just a few minutes ago

00:22:58Brighton were 2-1 down

00:23:00And looking a beaten side

00:23:02Not now

00:23:04Three huge points in their push for a European place

00:23:09Because there's surely no way back for West Ham now

00:23:14Look at Beliba

00:23:15He glances up

00:23:18And it is beautifully placed

00:23:20Fabian Herzog

00:23:24Revealed in midweek

00:23:25That he's had trouble sleeping lately

00:23:27He's been wide awake

00:23:29After the drama of this one

00:23:31What a dramatic end

00:23:34To this match

00:23:35At the Amex stadium

00:23:36Three points

00:23:38For Brighton

00:23:40Heartbreak

00:23:41For West Ham

00:23:43Brighton 3

00:23:45West Ham 2

00:23:46I really had the belief

00:23:49And the trust to my team

00:23:51And therefore

00:23:52Especially at the end of the game

00:23:54They didn't force it

00:23:55They stick to the game plan

00:23:56They did the things right

00:23:58They made good decisions

00:23:59Although it was very

00:24:00Hectically

00:24:01And big emotions

00:24:02But credit to my players

00:24:04What was going through your mind

00:24:06When Beliba picked up the ball there?

00:24:08I think we all had the same feeling

00:24:09I looked at the ball

00:24:11I was like

00:24:12The ball is not moving really fast

00:24:13But when it hits the net

00:24:16Of course unbelievable feeling

00:24:17West Ham came back into it

00:24:19When they went ahead

00:24:20Nobody's head drops

00:24:21There was presumably

00:24:22Very much belief

00:24:23That you could find a way back into it

00:24:25No for sure

00:24:26We always believe in it

00:24:27Doesn't matter

00:24:27What the minute is

00:24:28What the score is

00:24:29In our home pitch

00:24:31With our fans

00:24:31Everything can happen

00:24:32And we show the character

00:24:33To come back

00:24:34And win the game

00:24:35Obviously we all feel horrible

00:24:36We had some couple of wars

00:24:38In the changing room

00:24:39And it just cannot happen

00:24:41This

00:24:42We scored a winning goal

00:24:44Like I don't know

00:24:4485 minutes

00:24:46And

00:24:46At the end

00:24:48We lose the game

00:24:50So

00:24:50I know it's

00:24:51Premier League

00:24:52It can happen

00:24:53Everything

00:24:53Anytime

00:24:54But

00:24:55It's not just

00:24:56Acceptable

00:24:56For us

00:24:57We've been undone

00:24:58From two goals

00:24:59Outside the box

00:24:59About 35 yards

00:25:01Apart from that

00:25:02We've

00:25:03Created chances ourselves

00:25:05And we scored two good goals

00:25:06But

00:25:06It's the ability to sustain

00:25:07A Premier League game

00:25:08Over

00:25:08100 plus minutes

00:25:10That's obviously been a challenge

00:25:12For us

00:25:12Ipswich

00:25:13Lost today

00:25:14So you know

00:25:14Now that you're

00:25:15Mathematically safe

00:25:16That's one consolation

00:25:17Surely

00:25:17Well

00:25:18We have to acknowledge

00:25:20The season we're having

00:25:20Is a bad one

00:25:21So

00:25:22The fact that we've

00:25:24Stayed clear of it all

00:25:25Is good

00:25:26But it's not good enough

00:25:26For us

00:25:27We're certainly not

00:25:28Celebrating that

00:25:29We want to do better

00:25:31And we have to do better

00:25:32Well you can see

00:25:34In the interviews

00:25:34That they are flat

00:25:36There

00:25:36And Graham Potter

00:25:37Said they've had a bad season

00:25:38And yet they did get themselves

00:25:40Back into this

00:25:41Yeah they really did

00:25:42I think

00:25:42Especially second half

00:25:43When Graham Potter

00:25:44Made the change

00:25:45With Nicholas Fulker

00:25:46Coming on

00:25:47And obviously

00:25:47After Fulker

00:25:48Comments within the week

00:25:49Question his

00:25:50Team's mentality

00:25:51It was

00:25:52It was really interesting

00:25:53I think for me

00:25:54I think West Ham

00:25:55Struggled to create opportunities

00:25:56In that first half

00:25:57But

00:25:57Fulker

00:25:58Coming on

00:25:59Allowed them to have

00:26:00A bit of a focal point

00:26:01And allowed Jarrod Bone

00:26:02Who is without doubt

00:26:03West Ham's best player

00:26:04A little bit more freedom

00:26:05And this right hand side

00:26:07Especially for the first goal

00:26:08To make a 1-1

00:26:08Bone crossing in for Koudis

00:26:10That really set them

00:26:11On the way

00:26:12In this second half

00:26:13I think

00:26:13For 35 minutes

00:26:15West Ham were brilliant

00:26:16In terms of intensity

00:26:17Forward runs

00:26:18Forward passes

00:26:19And this right hand side

00:26:20We've seen

00:26:20Kind of glimpse of it

00:26:22In the first half

00:26:22And Juan Bosaka

00:26:23Was at heart of that

00:26:24But the quality

00:26:25Was just lacking

00:26:26But I think that freedom

00:26:27Of Bone was really important

00:26:28For West Ham

00:26:29In this sense

00:26:29And also Fulker

00:26:30He was able to

00:26:31Hold up the ball

00:26:32Knock the ball down

00:26:33And allow players

00:26:34To join in

00:26:34In advance

00:26:36And Suchek

00:26:36Gets a shot away

00:26:37And is a bit unlucky

00:26:38But this was pressure

00:26:39That West Ham did

00:26:39Because of the half-time change

00:26:41And the system change

00:26:42And Bone was at heart of it

00:26:44And this is just Bone

00:26:45In a nutshell

00:26:45Wanting to get on the ball

00:26:47Wanting to drive his team

00:26:48Forward

00:26:49But this is a world-class cross

00:26:50There's no defender

00:26:51Stopping that

00:26:52And if you want one person

00:26:53On the end of it

00:26:53From West Ham United's

00:26:54Point of view

00:26:55It's Thomas Suchek

00:26:56And it's similar to what

00:26:57He did last week as well

00:26:58And so you're thinking

00:27:01All right

00:27:012-1 up

00:27:036 or 7 minutes to go

00:27:05We're back in it

00:27:06All good

00:27:07And then?

00:27:08And then I think

00:27:09The last 10 minutes

00:27:11Chappas

00:27:11The Fulker

00:27:12In turnabout mentality

00:27:13And trying to stay in the game

00:27:15Especially away from home

00:27:16West Ham have struggled

00:27:17To get a point away from home

00:27:19When they've conceded

00:27:20And this

00:27:22Look at this

00:27:22This is 11 players

00:27:23Behind the ball

00:27:24And this is like

00:27:25What we're probably

00:27:26Used to seeing West Ham

00:27:27Do in terms of

00:27:28In these positions

00:27:28It's

00:27:29You've got 11 players

00:27:30Behind the ball

00:27:30Trying to make it compact

00:27:31But you've got your best player

00:27:33There

00:27:33Trying to do so much

00:27:34Defensive work

00:27:35And it opens up gaps

00:27:36For other players

00:27:37And this is a great

00:27:37Crossfield ball

00:27:38A great header across

00:27:40And Matomas

00:27:41On the back shoulder

00:27:41Of Kilman

00:27:42But it's so interesting

00:27:44That Kilman

00:27:45Kind of gets underneath

00:27:46The ball

00:27:46Because I think

00:27:47He's trying to read it

00:27:47For the cutback

00:27:48To dunk

00:27:49And I think that's

00:27:50Poor from West Ham

00:27:51United's point of view

00:27:52But this is them

00:27:52Inviting pressure

00:27:53Because they're getting

00:27:54Deeper and deeper

00:27:55And in this picture

00:27:56Here Chappas

00:27:57I think

00:27:57Look

00:27:57I think

00:27:58They had an outlet

00:27:59They had Fulker

00:27:59But look at where he is

00:28:00He's around the referee

00:28:01There's 10 players

00:28:02In that box

00:28:03It's so short

00:28:04It's so compact

00:28:05It's condensing

00:28:06When you're in that low box

00:28:08You either have to

00:28:08Really just

00:28:09Kind of

00:28:10Take hold of your space

00:28:11Or you've got to

00:28:11Start pressing at some point

00:28:12And Bowen here

00:28:13He finds himself

00:28:14In a probably

00:28:14Unfamiliar position

00:28:15And what he wants to do

00:28:17Is defend for his team

00:28:18He kicks it out

00:28:19For a corner

00:28:19But the worrying thing

00:28:20Here for me

00:28:21Is the mentality

00:28:22And the leadership

00:28:23And the organisation

00:28:23And players are not

00:28:25Even looking at the ball

00:28:26When Brighton

00:28:26Take this short corner

00:28:27And I think for me

00:28:29Not really doing anything

00:28:31Not really pressing

00:28:32Not really getting organised

00:28:33When they come out

00:28:34And Carlos Belaba

00:28:35Had a great game

00:28:36Normally plays in midfield

00:28:38But playing at centre half today

00:28:40Played really well

00:28:40Against the likes of Bowen

00:28:42And kudos

00:28:43But what an absolutely

00:28:44Great strike

00:28:45From a centre half

00:28:46Slash midfielder

00:28:47He had so much time

00:28:48And space

00:28:49The finish is great

00:28:51Don't look at me like that

00:28:52I know you do

00:28:53I know you do

00:28:54All I would ask is

00:28:56It's never a great look

00:28:58I suppose

00:28:58If your goalkeeper

00:28:59Doesn't dive

00:29:00No

00:29:01However good the

00:29:03Goalkeeper

00:29:03No it's not

00:29:04And you know

00:29:04Graham Potter's alluded to it

00:29:05That's a long way out

00:29:07But as Steph

00:29:08Just excellently explained there

00:29:10West Ham players

00:29:11Are

00:29:11Yes they are back

00:29:12In numbers

00:29:12But they are not doing a job

00:29:14And there's three people

00:29:14In the line of

00:29:15Alphonse Areola there

00:29:16Making it difficult

00:29:18For him to react

00:29:19But we cannot get away

00:29:20That is a superb finish

00:29:21Starts off like

00:29:22Two yards outside the post

00:29:23Two, three yards

00:29:24Outside the post

00:29:25And once Areola

00:29:26Gets a sight on it

00:29:27It's already

00:29:28In that far corner

00:29:29And he's left rooted

00:29:30And it's not

00:29:31So he's got no chance

00:29:31He's got a chance

00:29:33I'm not making excuses

00:29:34I'm giving you a reason

00:29:35Of why he's ended up rooted

00:29:36As far as

00:29:37Brighto

00:29:37Very quickly

00:29:38They have been on this

00:29:39Run of six matches

00:29:40In all competitions

00:29:41Without a win

00:29:42They needed that

00:29:43Just for a bit of confidence

00:29:44And they're still in a race

00:29:45For a Europa League

00:29:46Or conference league plays

00:29:47Yeah I think we're predicting

00:29:48There's potentially

00:29:49Eight places up for grabs

00:29:50In terms of European football

00:29:51So for Brighton's confidence

00:29:52Going to this last push

00:29:53In the season

00:29:54It's great for them

00:29:55Especially with one

00:29:56Winning the last six games

00:29:57More goalkeeping stuff

00:29:59To come though

00:29:59Isn't there

00:30:00There certainly is

00:30:01Next Chelsea in the running

00:30:02For the Champions League

00:30:03Sports at home

00:30:04To Everton

00:30:05Connor McNamara

00:30:05Watch this one

00:30:06With four points

00:30:10Separating third and seventh

00:30:12Chelsea's chase

00:30:13For a Champions League

00:30:15Place continues

00:30:15If Everton's glass is half full

00:30:18They've had two defeats

00:30:19In their last twelve

00:30:20Premier League games

00:30:21If David Moyes' glass is half empty

00:30:23His side have only had

00:30:25One win in eight

00:30:26Just one change

00:30:28From Chelsea's win at Fulham

00:30:29Romeo Lavia makes his first

00:30:31Premier League start

00:30:32Since January

00:30:32Replacing Rhys James

00:30:34Who's on the bench

00:30:35James Tarkovsky's

00:30:37Hamstring injury

00:30:38Brings to an end

00:30:39His run of

00:30:39109 Premier League games

00:30:41In a row

00:30:42Since joining Everton

00:30:43Nathan Patterson

00:30:45Comes in

00:30:45For only his second

00:30:46Premier League start

00:30:47Of the campaign

00:30:48No Armando Breuer today

00:30:50Ineligible against

00:30:51His parent club

00:30:52Beto starts instead

00:30:54Willy Camiello

00:30:56The former Chelsea

00:30:57Of Manchester City

00:30:58Goalkeeper

00:30:58Is in charge

00:31:00In the technical area

00:31:01With Enzo Maresco

00:31:02Serving a touchline ban

00:31:04In the stands

00:31:05Chelsea

00:31:08Who finished in

00:31:09Sixth position last season

00:31:10That's the same place

00:31:12In the league

00:31:12That they started today

00:31:13Hoping for a strong push now

00:31:16To win the campaign

00:31:17Inside the Champions League

00:31:18Places

00:31:18And Dweck

00:31:21Oh he's got in

00:31:22Around the back

00:31:22Of Patterson again

00:31:23Chelsea

00:31:25Getting much joy

00:31:27Down that side

00:31:28As Pickford

00:31:29Full stretch

00:31:30Push it out for the corner

00:31:32It's early stages still

00:31:35But Lonnie Madweke

00:31:37Is having plenty joy

00:31:39Against Nathan Patterson

00:31:40Here

00:31:40Today is Enzo Maresco's

00:31:4350th game

00:31:44In charge of Chelsea

00:31:45In all competitions

00:31:46They've only lost

00:31:48One of their last

00:31:4915 Premier League

00:31:50Home games here

00:31:51That was when

00:31:53Fulham

00:31:53Came in one

00:31:54On Boxing Day

00:31:55Jackson

00:31:57Taken down

00:31:58By Brantwaite

00:31:59Jared Brantwaite

00:32:02To score

00:32:03Against Chelsea

00:32:04Here at Stamford Bridge

00:32:05Three seasons ago

00:32:06That was his first ever goal

00:32:08For Everton that day

00:32:09And so Fernandes

00:32:13Pickford punching

00:32:14Ahead to Colwell

00:32:15This is Kukureya

00:32:16Don't know what

00:32:17Was going on target

00:32:18Anyway

00:32:18Just look how close

00:32:22Cole Palmer is

00:32:23To getting a touch

00:32:24Here

00:32:24That could have been

00:32:25The difference

00:32:25His wait

00:32:29For a goal

00:32:29Continues

00:32:31And Zorosko

00:32:32Says that

00:32:33Cole Palmer's

00:32:33Recent struggles

00:32:34Are a mental thing

00:32:36Quote

00:32:37Today looking for

00:32:38His first goal

00:32:39In 17 games

00:32:40In all competitions

00:32:41Angel Fernandes

00:32:45Jackson

00:32:45Nicholas Jackson

00:32:49After 13 games

00:32:52Without a goal

00:32:53In all competitions

00:32:54Produces a stunning finish

00:32:58It's the 24th

00:33:01Premier League goal

00:33:02That Nicholas Jackson

00:33:03Has scored

00:33:03Since joining Chelsea

00:33:04But it's the first

00:33:06Hit from outside

00:33:07The penalty area

00:33:08That is an instinctive

00:33:11Turn and strike

00:33:12He doesn't look

00:33:13Towards that corner

00:33:14Of the goal

00:33:14Until he hits it

00:33:15So Mareska

00:33:17Celebrates

00:33:18From distance

00:33:20David Moyes

00:33:22Who has never won

00:33:24A Premier League game

00:33:25Here at Stamford Bridge

00:33:26Is another league

00:33:28Victory

00:33:29Going to elude him today

00:33:30Everton's teammates

00:33:32Are screaming for this

00:33:33To be played in

00:33:34No one marking

00:33:34Mickalenko

00:33:35The far post

00:33:36He played it

00:33:37Back into what he hoped

00:33:39To be a dangerous position

00:33:40He did have a look

00:33:43To see if there was

00:33:44A challenge

00:33:44And better

00:33:45In the penalty area

00:33:46In that most recent

00:33:47Everton attack

00:33:47But it's check complete

00:33:49No further action

00:33:50Here's Takure

00:33:54Mikalenko

00:33:56To Takure

00:33:57Nearly

00:33:58So far Chelsea have limited

00:34:01Their opponents

00:34:02To nothing today

00:34:03No shots

00:34:03Nothing on target

00:34:05Nothing off target

00:34:06No teeth bared at all

00:34:08From Everton

00:34:08Everton who have avoided

00:34:12Defeat

00:34:13Each of the last two

00:34:14Premier League games

00:34:15That they've been trailing

00:34:16At half time

00:34:16They came back against

00:34:17Brentford in February

00:34:18They came back against

00:34:19Arsenal

00:34:19Earlier on this month

00:34:21Chelsea

00:34:23The last five

00:34:24Premier League games

00:34:25That they've been

00:34:25In front at half time

00:34:26They've only gone on

00:34:28To win one of them

00:34:28Low from Leto

00:34:32Chelsea have a tough run

00:34:46In all fixtures

00:34:48For the rest of this

00:34:49Premier League campaign

00:34:50Liverpool here next

00:34:51Weekend

00:34:51Then Newcastle

00:34:53Then Manchester United

00:34:54And Nottingham Forest

00:34:55To complete the

00:34:56Domestic season

00:34:57Panison

00:34:59It's a bit soft

00:35:04Chance for Chelsea

00:35:05Pick for it

00:35:06Denies Nicholas Jackson

00:35:08That was such a soft

00:35:13Back pass

00:35:13And Everton are very

00:35:15Lucky to get away

00:35:15With that

00:35:16Everton aren't out

00:35:20Of this yet

00:35:211-0

00:35:22In the Premier League

00:35:23Can always be

00:35:24A perilous lead

00:35:25Passing does well

00:35:28Against Montague

00:35:29He's Beto

00:35:32Big save

00:35:34Robert Sanchez

00:35:36He said so little

00:35:38To do today

00:35:39But Robert Sanchez

00:35:41On a high alert

00:35:42And with a really

00:35:43Stiff arm

00:35:44To prevent

00:35:45That shot from Beto

00:35:47Swing of the hips

00:35:50From Cole Palmer

00:35:51There is

00:35:53Enzo Fernandes

00:35:55And Maduike

00:35:56Still going

00:36:01Maduike

00:36:01Got saved

00:36:03From Jordan Pickford

00:36:04Keeping

00:36:06Everton

00:36:07In it

00:36:08Really good reaction

00:36:10From Pickford

00:36:10To deny Chelsea

00:36:12A second

00:36:13McNeil

00:36:15Croached into

00:36:16Again

00:36:17By Kukuro

00:36:17He's done really well

00:36:19Against Dwight McNeil

00:36:19Since he's gone

00:36:20Palmer takes it

00:36:22Away from Neto

00:36:23Kukuroya

00:36:26Urged to shoot

00:36:27It's Jackson

00:36:29It's 2-0

00:36:31The flag is up

00:36:33It's not going to count

00:36:34That could have settled it

00:36:37Mark Kukuroya

00:36:39Whose winning goal

00:36:40Against Leicester

00:36:41Not so long ago

00:36:42Was long range

00:36:43From 25 yards out

00:36:45And when he hit this

00:36:46And it fell back

00:36:47To Jackson

00:36:48Strike of us

00:36:49In an offside position

00:36:50Nikolenko

00:36:58Alcres

00:37:00Stepping on the gas

00:37:02To get there

00:37:03Here's a chance

00:37:04Great save again

00:37:05From Sanchez

00:37:06To deny

00:37:07Dwight McNeil

00:37:08That's 2 huge saves

00:37:11That Sanchez has made

00:37:12In the second half

00:37:13Those are the moments

00:37:15That could make

00:37:16All the difference

00:37:18First half

00:37:20It felt you were

00:37:20Very dominant

00:37:21A lot of possession

00:37:22A lot of territory

00:37:23Were you disappointed

00:37:24That you hadn't scored

00:37:25More than one goal

00:37:26In that first half

00:37:26It already happened

00:37:27Many times

00:37:27This season

00:37:28That we are not

00:37:29Able to score more goals

00:37:32And to kill the game

00:37:34But second half

00:37:36I think we dropped

00:37:36A little bit

00:37:37But overall

00:37:39I think we defend

00:37:40Quite well

00:37:41We created some chances

00:37:42So overall

00:37:43I think we deserve

00:37:44To win the game

00:37:44We were fortunate

00:37:45Maybe fortunate

00:37:46Only to win 1-0

00:37:46Down at half time

00:37:47But we stuck at it

00:37:49And grew into the game

00:37:50As it went on

00:37:51And I thought we played

00:37:51Really well in the second half

00:37:52A bit unlucky

00:37:54Not to get it

00:37:54Just probably lacking

00:37:56The quality

00:37:56To try and get a finish

00:37:57Finish at the end

00:37:58Of somewhere we're playing

00:37:59The goal that decided

00:38:00The game was very well taken

00:38:02From Nico Jackson

00:38:03I believe that's the first time

00:38:04He scored in the Premier League

00:38:05From outside the penalty area

00:38:06I mean maybe in the Premier League

00:38:08But I see him doing loads

00:38:09In training

00:38:09So I'm not surprised

00:38:11So yeah

00:38:12I'm really happy for him

00:38:13In fact their goalkeeper

00:38:14Robert Sanchez

00:38:14Gets named Player of the Match

00:38:15Tells its own story I guess

00:38:16Yeah

00:38:17I thought their goalkeeper

00:38:18Made a really good save

00:38:19From Dwight

00:38:20I've had a first look

00:38:21And I just wondered

00:38:21If the other corner was open

00:38:23So maybe the boys

00:38:24Can have a look at it

00:38:25In the studio

00:38:25And see what they think

00:38:26Well we'll get on to that

00:38:29In a little while

00:38:30What the studio think

00:38:31But what the studio thought

00:38:32First of all

00:38:33Starting with you Joe

00:38:34Is that Everton

00:38:34Tried something

00:38:35A little bit different

00:38:35Yeah

00:38:36They looked like they were

00:38:37They were up to try

00:38:38A little bit new today

00:38:40A little bit more expansive

00:38:41Which is easier said than done

00:38:43And as that proves

00:38:44In the first 20 minutes

00:38:45Ball into Michalenko here

00:38:47We've seen many many times

00:38:49An Everton team

00:38:50Flip it into the corner

00:38:51And play for possession

00:38:52Play for territory

00:38:53Sorry

00:38:54But instead

00:38:55He decides to go into

00:38:56He's got options

00:38:58To go back

00:38:59But if you're going to play

00:39:00You need an option

00:39:01And then another option

00:39:02You need to be playing chess

00:39:03The whole team

00:39:04Needs to be on board

00:39:04With it

00:39:05And once he decides

00:39:06To go into him

00:39:07Garner has to make himself

00:39:08Available

00:39:09And Chelsea realised

00:39:10They're starting to play

00:39:11A little bit of football today

00:39:12But there's only one option

00:39:13So once Casiedo

00:39:15And an impressive press

00:39:16Means that he can't

00:39:17Get that pass off

00:39:18They can smother him

00:39:19Turn it over

00:39:20And now Everton

00:39:22Are far more open

00:39:23Than they have been

00:39:23All season

00:39:24And they're able to

00:39:25Get it into Jackson

00:39:26And create their first

00:39:27Chance of the afternoon

00:39:28And this was a little

00:39:33Pattern in the first

00:39:33Probably 25 minutes

00:39:35Not seeing that too much

00:39:36From Everton

00:39:37The 1-2

00:39:37Palmer

00:39:38Intelligent pressing

00:39:39Cutting the lines

00:39:40And then once we turn here

00:39:41And he wants to get it

00:39:42Into Beto

00:39:43Chelsea are very aware

00:39:44That once we do go

00:39:45Into Beto

00:39:46And Jai is the only option

00:39:48Again intelligent

00:39:49Able to turn the ball over

00:39:51And straight away

00:39:52Chelsea are on the tack

00:39:53Into Jackson

00:39:54Turn

00:39:55Doesn't quite get his shot off

00:39:57But they're looking dangerous

00:39:58That's two warning shots

00:39:59In the first couple of minutes

00:40:01I think as well

00:40:02This is something that

00:40:03Chelsea have definitely

00:40:03Worked on in the week

00:40:04I think that press initially

00:40:06But when Beto is receiving

00:40:07The ball

00:40:07It's about aggressive pressure

00:40:09But also Jackson's positioning

00:40:11I think when you're so expansive

00:40:12And you play out

00:40:13That position is important

00:40:14And allows you to get

00:40:15On the half turn

00:40:16Allows you to have

00:40:16A little bit more

00:40:17Breathing space

00:40:18To get your shot away

00:40:19And from this angle here

00:40:20You see Chalabar

00:40:21Getting really aggressive

00:40:22But the position of Enzo

00:40:23It's not just about

00:40:24Admiring your pass

00:40:26It's about getting back

00:40:27It's about helping your defenders

00:40:28But also blocks

00:40:29A passing lane there

00:40:30And once they win the ball back

00:40:32It's so simple

00:40:33Just to pass it to Jackson's feet

00:40:34But from here

00:40:35It's a great finish

00:40:36For someone that's been out

00:40:37Injured for a while

00:40:38And you can see

00:40:39From Jordan Pickford's reaction

00:40:40He's not very happy

00:40:41With how it's gone

00:40:42Because every time

00:40:43It's played into someone's feet

00:40:44You can't just have

00:40:45The one option

00:40:45No you really can't

00:40:47I think with Beto

00:40:48Obviously his strength

00:40:48Is holding the ball up

00:40:49But unless you've got someone

00:40:50To pass to

00:40:51And Chelsea had numbers

00:40:52In that midfield area

00:40:53So they were able

00:40:54To block off people

00:40:56That he was trying to support

00:40:57And I think

00:40:58For me Chelsea

00:40:59We're really good at that today

00:41:00On to our next goalkeeping

00:41:01Masterclass

00:41:03There are often two sides

00:41:05Aren't there

00:41:05To Robert Sanchez

00:41:07And we kind of saw it again today

00:41:09Yeah

00:41:09And he's proven it

00:41:10Through the season

00:41:11And there's question marks

00:41:12Around him

00:41:12There's no doubt about that

00:41:14And a lot of that

00:41:16Is embodied in this game today

00:41:18When you've got a top end goalkeeper

00:41:20You need someone

00:41:20Who's going to keep the drama

00:41:22To a minimum

00:41:23And Robert Sanchez

00:41:25This is not the first time

00:41:26We've seen it in the season

00:41:26And it's not the only time

00:41:27We'll see it in the game

00:41:28Getting involved

00:41:29Making late decisions

00:41:30His defenders

00:41:31Not quite knowing what he's doing

00:41:32He manages to get the ball there

00:41:34But could have easily

00:41:34Given away a penalty

00:41:35Second half

00:41:36Ball spoons up

00:41:37Chelsea players are thinking

00:41:38Is Robert coming

00:41:39Is he going to catch it

00:41:40What's he going to do

00:41:41And that's really difficult

00:41:43In a young team

00:41:44Because you need

00:41:45That experienced goalkeeper

00:41:46Who's going to keep the calmness

00:41:47But there's a reason

00:41:48That Robert Sanchez

00:41:49Plays for Chelsea

00:41:49And there's a reason

00:41:50That he's in the Premier League

00:41:51Because he's an incredible

00:41:53Saver of a football

00:41:54And I think this is

00:41:55A great example of it

00:41:56And he wins man of the match today

00:41:57Because this was the first

00:41:59Real shot in anger

00:42:00That Everton had

00:42:00And he's so athletic

00:42:02So so athletic

00:42:03So strong

00:42:04That's such a sharp save

00:42:06And as we get into the 87th minute

00:42:08His team are winning 1-0

00:42:09Trying to get into the Champions League

00:42:10His athleticism there

00:42:12Is emphasised

00:42:13Many goalkeepers

00:42:14Aren't even able to turn

00:42:15And make that save

00:42:16Let alone the spring

00:42:17It probably looks a bit over the top

00:42:18But that's the brilliance of him

00:42:20And that's his superpower

00:42:21His athleticism

00:42:22And look

00:42:22Credit where it's due

00:42:23He won his team the points today

00:42:25I'm not sure Dwight McNeil

00:42:26Could have gone the other way

00:42:27Could he?

00:42:27As David Moyes thought

00:42:28Would have been a bit of a worldie

00:42:29If he could I think

00:42:30Very simply

00:42:31If you've got a goalkeeper

00:42:32Who's a great shot stopper

00:42:33Like that

00:42:33But looks a bit wobbly

00:42:34When coming for the ball

00:42:35Can you as a centre half

00:42:37Try and protect your goalkeeper

00:42:39In some way

00:42:39As in take more charge

00:42:41Of certain parts of the box

00:42:42Yeah I think for me

00:42:43I think it's about just

00:42:44Keeping things simple

00:42:45And allowing that kind of confidence

00:42:47And knowing what your goalkeeper's good at

00:42:49And I think

00:42:49For someone that's really good

00:42:51At taking cross

00:42:51It's allowing them

00:42:52To be able to do that

00:42:53And obviously

00:42:53For me it's about communication

00:42:55And making sure that

00:42:56He's mentally kind of

00:42:57Switched on as much as possible

00:42:59Right

00:43:00The title could be won tomorrow

00:43:015 Live Premier League Sunday

00:43:48It's available now on iPlayer

00:43:49With the whole programme up

00:43:51First thing on Sunday

00:43:52To bottom side Southampton

00:43:54Against Fulham

00:43:55Still hoping to be in the mix

00:43:56For the European places

00:43:57Jonathan Pearce was at this one

00:43:59Ross Stewart gets his first

00:44:02Ever Saints home league start

00:44:03And first anywhere since October

00:44:05After a hamstring problem

00:44:06In their only change

00:44:07From the 1-1 draw at West Ham

00:44:09With Paul Onowachu injured

00:44:10They've not gone two league games

00:44:12In a row unbeaten

00:44:13All season

00:44:14Fulham make two changes

00:44:15From the defeat by Chelsea

00:44:17William plays his 325th

00:44:19Career Premier League game

00:44:21Joining Antonio Valencia

00:44:22As the joint highest

00:44:24South American appearance holder

00:44:25In the competition

00:44:26And Harry Wilson gets his first start

00:44:28Since January

00:44:29Smith-Rowe is fit again

00:44:30And among the subs

00:44:31The Fulham fans are in fine voice

00:44:37Because they're chasing

00:44:39A European place

00:44:40Passy

00:44:42Sessignon and William

00:44:44Five in the middle

00:44:48To hit at one stage there

00:44:50Checks back inside

00:44:51Goes for a bending effort

00:44:53Typical of William there

00:44:56Done that many times in his career

00:44:58115 club career goals

00:45:03Scored last week against West Ham

00:45:08And their point for them

00:45:10Here's Sulemana

00:45:11That's a foul I think

00:45:21By Pereira

00:45:22Southampton fans

00:45:30Behind the goal to your left-hand side

00:45:33Raised their voices

00:45:34They said something might be coming

00:45:35From this free kick

00:45:36Whip on it

00:45:41Stephens is there

00:45:42It's a beautiful header

00:45:43It's a lovely free kick in

00:45:46Southampton lead

00:45:47Their first attack of the game

00:45:50Now Stephens

00:45:52The scorer for Southampton

00:45:54Great run in there

00:45:59Well-timed

00:45:59Lovely header

00:46:001-0

00:46:00His last goal

00:46:03Came in December 2019

00:46:05Aware at Aston Villa

00:46:07Sulemana

00:46:20Oh, if he'd gone down

00:46:22He might have got a penalty

00:46:22He gets a shot away

00:46:23Anderson came and

00:46:25Bashed into it

00:46:26Shot was easily saved

00:46:29Just watch this

00:46:32Anderson got there late

00:46:34Didn't get any sort of

00:46:36Real contact on the shot

00:46:38Terore

00:46:43Will run his man

00:46:45Drifts inside

00:46:45Danger here for Southampton

00:46:47Adama Terore

00:46:48Willian

00:46:49Off the woodwork

00:46:51So close to an equaliser

00:46:56Willian bending the shot away from Ramsdale

00:47:00Comes back

00:47:02Off the upright

00:47:03And that's the closest Fulham have come to a goal

00:47:06And that's the closest Fulham have come to a goal

00:47:06His doubts

00:47:07Sulemana

00:47:10Tate's there with him

00:47:13Out by Sessignon

00:47:18It could be a chance here by Southampton

00:47:23It's Walker-Peters

00:47:24It's a good save

00:47:25Really smart save

00:47:26By Bernd Leno

00:47:27Did you know Walker-Peters

00:47:29Good stop

00:47:33Good stop

00:47:33Walker-Peters searching away from the challenge

00:47:38Archer

00:47:42Sulemana's in the penalty

00:47:46Good run from him

00:47:48Oh he's at the outside of the post

00:47:50From nothing

00:47:50Now Fernandes

00:47:52Deflected

00:47:53Sulemana clearly felt he was offside

00:47:58Couldn't challenge

00:47:59Well that was from out of absolutely nowhere

00:48:02Definitely intended as a cross

00:48:04He had a look up there

00:48:06He wovey

00:48:10Smith-Rowe

00:48:10That's a fine run in there

00:48:12The shot is deflected in

00:48:14Off Bednarak

00:48:15And Smith-Rowe's intervention from the bench

00:48:18Which is crucial

00:48:19Took up a good position

00:48:23Smith-Rowe

00:48:24Who hasn't hit the heights this season

00:48:27That Fulham fans expected

00:48:29After the big money move from Arsenal

00:48:31But this is what he can do

00:48:32Burst of pace

00:48:34Took him into a good position

00:48:35It's a sweet piece of control

00:48:37Yes

00:48:38The goal had fortune

00:48:39In that it lifted in

00:48:40Off Bednarak's foot

00:48:41But Smith-Rowe

00:48:43Saw the opportunity

00:48:44Went for it

00:48:45And the shot looped past Ramsdale

00:48:48And here's Troll-Rowe

00:48:51Going into it again

00:48:54Tight area

00:48:55Smith-Rowe

00:48:56Ramsdale's fingers

00:48:58Denied him

00:48:59Lovely cameo roll

00:49:02From the bench

00:49:03For Smith-Rowe

00:49:03Ramsdale pushed it wide

00:49:06Troll-Rowe

00:49:12To the byline

00:49:14In comes the cross

00:49:15Great lead by Raul

00:49:16Here in the net

00:49:16Decent save

00:49:18Creating now Fulham

00:49:21I'll tell you what

00:49:25He should have scored from there

00:49:26That's a really good chance

00:49:29To win it

00:49:29And he knows it

00:49:31In by Anderson Jimenez

00:49:36Can't quite come through to Cairnic

00:49:40And has it back again

00:49:42Cairnic

00:49:42He comes across from Troll

00:49:45It's in

00:49:46And Fulham have won it

00:49:48A minute and a half

00:49:50In the stoppage tie

00:49:51Sessegnon got across his man

00:49:54Well it's been coming

00:49:57It has to be said

00:49:59And once again

00:50:01Southampton

00:50:02And in the end

00:50:03Here at St Mere's

00:50:04Just have not had enough

00:50:06To get across the line

00:50:07Jimenez did really well

00:50:11Kearney in support

00:50:13Battle

00:50:13This is a good ball by Kearney

00:50:16To Troll

00:50:17A cross flashed in

00:50:19And Sessegnon

00:50:20Got across his markers

00:50:22To head home

00:50:23He doesn't get many

00:50:24Headed goals

00:50:24And this is a really

00:50:28Important win

00:50:29For Fulham

00:50:30And an old

00:50:32Familiar

00:50:32Sinking feeling

00:50:33Returns to St Mere's

00:50:36The two changes

00:50:37At half time

00:50:37Was to

00:50:38Give different things

00:50:39For the team

00:50:39I think we gave

00:50:40More 1v1

00:50:41With Adam on the right

00:50:42On the side

00:50:42And of course

00:50:43A little bit more dynamic

00:50:43With Lukic there

00:50:45With Harry Wilson

00:50:47Inside in the pocket too

00:50:48And second half

00:50:49We dominated

00:50:50From the first minute

00:50:51Till the last minute

00:50:52We did create chances

00:50:53Crossbar ball too

00:50:54And all that stuff

00:50:55I think clear

00:50:56We deserve three points

00:50:57It's a cruel game

00:50:58Last week we scored

00:50:59A late goal

00:51:00This week we conceded

00:51:01A late goal

00:51:01Yeah

00:51:03It's obviously

00:51:04A difficult one to take

00:51:05Always is

00:51:07But you know

00:51:07Ultimately

00:51:08We need to

00:51:09Keep going

00:51:09Keep trying to improve

00:51:10And take what was good

00:51:12From that game

00:51:13And try and use it

00:51:13In the next game

00:51:14I'm really delighted

00:51:15With the goal

00:51:16And obviously

00:51:16The three points

00:51:17Is the most important

00:51:18It's really exciting

00:51:19To be a part of this team

00:51:19I knew from the first day

00:51:21I came in

00:51:22You know

00:51:22It's a really exciting team

00:51:24And you know

00:51:24To be a part of it

00:51:25It's like a family in there

00:51:26So yeah

00:51:27It's definitely

00:51:28An exciting journey

00:51:29And we want to keep going

00:51:30For sure

00:51:30Of course

00:51:31We are playing final

00:51:32After final

00:51:33It's going to be

00:51:33Like that

00:51:34Every single week

00:51:35From now

00:51:37And the importance

00:51:38Of these three points

00:51:39They are really big for us

00:51:40They are massive

00:51:41I cannot hide that

00:51:42Now you have to

00:51:43To prepare well

00:51:43Another final

00:51:44Against Hula

00:51:44Every game is a big game

00:51:46Between now and the end

00:51:47Of the season

00:51:48But as Marcus Silva

00:51:48Said at the start

00:51:49Of that little run

00:51:50Of interviews

00:51:51The substitutions

00:51:53Made a difference

00:51:54Made them more dynamic

00:51:55Yeah he's given himself

00:51:56A little pat on the back

00:51:56There hasn't he

00:51:57But he was right

00:51:59You know

00:52:00Fair play

00:52:00As a manager

00:52:01Didn't start

00:52:01The two players

00:52:02That really impacted

00:52:03The game

00:52:03But they came on

00:52:04And changed it

00:52:05Smith Rowe and Traore

00:52:06Coming on

00:52:07This is late on

00:52:08This is an absolutely

00:52:09Beautiful touch

00:52:10This is what we know

00:52:10He's capable of

00:52:11In flashes

00:52:12He's not quite

00:52:12Asserted his authority

00:52:14On the team yet

00:52:14But that was a really

00:52:15Good goal

00:52:16Traore we know

00:52:17What he's got

00:52:17He's got the pace

00:52:18And the power

00:52:19And he's shown this season

00:52:19He's more than willing

00:52:20To come in

00:52:21On that left foot

00:52:21Keep his left back

00:52:23Guessing

00:52:24And beautiful link up

00:52:25Between the two here

00:52:26Driving inside

00:52:27That's a really smart shot

00:52:28And a smart save

00:52:29By Ramsdale

00:52:30Probably thinking

00:52:31He's earning

00:52:31His team a point

00:52:32Traore not necessarily

00:52:34Involved in this

00:52:35As you would expect

00:52:36Him to be

00:52:36But there he is

00:52:37That's where you expect

00:52:38Him to be

00:52:38On that right hand side

00:52:39Beautifully weighted cross

00:52:41And that's such a good

00:52:42Header from Ryan Sessegnon

00:52:43And they fully deserve

00:52:44That win

00:52:45They push so hard

00:52:46Towards the end

00:52:46At the end of the game

00:52:47And that's massive

00:52:48For Marco Silva

00:52:48It is

00:52:49Now Wolves

00:52:51We're going for their

00:52:51Sixth win on the trot

00:52:53Against the Leicester side

00:52:54Starting to say their

00:52:56Goodbyes to Jamie Vardy

00:52:57Alistair Mann

00:52:58Was at Molineux

00:52:59Vitor Pereira's first match

00:53:03Saw his new team win

00:53:04At Leicester

00:53:05Back in December

00:53:06Wolves have gathered

00:53:0729 points

00:53:08Since he took the helm

00:53:09While the Foxes

00:53:11Have mustered just four

00:53:12There are two changes

00:53:13To the side

00:53:14Which guaranteed safety

00:53:15Last week

00:53:16But Jürgen Strand

00:53:17Larson will continue

00:53:18To lead the attack

00:53:19Having scored five goals

00:53:21In his last five games

00:53:23He's got some way

00:53:24To go though

00:53:25To match Jamie Vardy

00:53:26Who needs just two more

00:53:27To reach 200 strikes

00:53:29For the Foxes

00:53:30Having announced

00:53:31His intention

00:53:31To leave at the end

00:53:32Of the season

00:53:33He'll be determined

00:53:34To reach his double century

00:53:35He's both scored and been sent off

00:53:38In this fixture before

00:53:40He's playing the way around the press

00:53:47There's Matthias Cunha

00:53:50Rides the challenge

00:53:54And keeps on going

00:53:55Has options both ways

00:53:57Goes himself

00:53:58And puts it beyond the post

00:54:00I suspect one or two colleagues

00:54:02May have been a little frustrated

00:54:04That he didn't opt for a pass to them

00:54:06But maybe they played with him long enough

00:54:08To realise that

00:54:09There was only one thought in his mind

00:54:11Edwin Nisroi

00:54:13Still insisting on standards being met

00:54:16Says there has been an improvement

00:54:18In recent weeks

00:54:19He's not ignored it

00:54:24And let's see

00:54:27Matthias Cunha

00:54:29Straight down the throat

00:54:31Of Hermansen

00:54:32They've had all the chances

00:54:34Wolves

00:54:34But yet to convert them

00:54:37The Wolves supporters

00:54:39Have really taken to Vitor Pereira

00:54:41It's well known

00:54:43About his desire

00:54:45For sharing a beer with them

00:54:46They might even have popped a few champagne corks

00:54:50In the last week or two

00:54:51Charles Gomez

00:54:53Just a bit short

00:54:56But Semedo got there

00:54:57Here's Matthias Cunha

00:54:58Back to Semedo

00:54:59McNary on the far

00:55:02Meets it

00:55:03And Valt Fass

00:55:04Clears it

00:55:05It was beyond Hermansen

00:55:07But Fass was just to his left

00:55:09And was there to ensure

00:55:12That it stays at 0-0

00:55:13Here's Totti Gomez

00:55:16It is Cunha

00:55:18Ait Nouri

00:55:20That is Cunha

00:55:22Ait Nouri again

00:55:23That is Cunha

00:55:28Inevitable

00:55:30Well it's become a bit of a shooting gallery

00:55:36You fire enough off

00:55:37Eventually you'll get one of the ducks

00:55:38He was involved in it's build up

00:55:42Ait Nouri

00:55:42Pivotal

00:55:43And after

00:55:46A half absolutely dominated by Wolves

00:55:50They finally take the lead

00:55:52Ait Nouri

00:55:58That is Cunha

00:56:01In towards Fran Larson

00:56:03And in the form that he's been in

00:56:07He'll feel he really ought to put that in

00:56:10But couldn't quite apply the touch

00:56:13And there's Andre

00:56:17Determined to win it back

00:56:20And now Ait Nouri

00:56:22And now Ait Nouri

00:56:22Pookings up the gap

00:56:26Hits Munazzi

00:56:27Matthias Cunha

00:56:28Saved by Hermansen

00:56:29And then Fran Larson

00:56:31Has missed

00:56:32Well he's offside

00:56:35That spared his blushes

00:56:37Do you know what?

00:56:39I'm not sure he would have been offside

00:56:41Had VAR needed to intervene

00:56:43But the flag

00:56:45May well

00:56:47Have come to his rescue there

00:56:48Thomas with the tackle

00:56:57Here's Ayu

00:56:57And now El Canoos

00:56:59And Leicester do something here

00:57:01El Canoos

00:57:02Bends it wide

00:57:04Well that's as near as

00:57:06Leicester have come to a goal

00:57:07And just a reminder to Wolves

00:57:10That this game isn't done and dusted just yet

00:57:12Two managers brought in to revive their team's fortunes

00:57:19But only one has succeeded

00:57:22Strand Larson

00:57:24Matthias Cunha

00:57:27Strand Larson again

00:57:31That's a fabulous goal

00:57:33That really is a fabulous goal

00:57:35The two men at the moment

00:57:38Matthias Cunha

00:57:41And Jürgen Strand Larson

00:57:43Combining so sweetly

00:57:45Matthias Cunha

00:57:47Inch-perfect pass

00:57:48He takes it in his stride

00:57:50Gets it out of his feet

00:57:52And guides it beyond Hermansen

00:57:54Wolves

00:57:56Well they should have been two up in the first half

00:57:58They're now two up early in the second

00:58:01And Gunnars only knows

00:58:02How many more they might get

00:58:04Al-Canoos

00:58:10And Didi Al-Canoos

00:58:13Good ball

00:58:14Vardy

00:58:15Penalty

00:58:16Caught

00:58:17By Jose Sarr

00:58:20And Jamie Vardy

00:58:22With a

00:58:24trademark

00:58:25Thrust away from the last defender

00:58:28away from Jose Saar just caught by him

00:58:32and a penalty and an opportunity to grab his 199th goal for Leicester City

00:58:40and he's not going to get any closer because Jose Saar gets right

00:58:47well that's just the way that things have gone

00:58:51he hasn't scored since the end of January

00:58:54and he hasn't scored here either

00:58:57and there's almost a bigger roar that greets that

00:59:00and the two goals for Wolves

00:59:02Netsi, Sarabia on towards Matthias Cunha

00:59:09that's a brilliant pass and he's got options Matthias Cunha

00:59:12and it's three now

00:59:15because Rodrigo Gomez kept up with Matthias Cunha

00:59:20and Matthias Cunha knew he was there

00:59:23so he scored, he's provided two assists, he continues to draw the suitors to Molineux

00:59:35he is a player that makes things happen Matthias Cunha

00:59:40and this time Rodrigo Gomez is the latest beneficiary

00:59:45well it's a margin of victory which reflects what we've witnessed this afternoon at Molineux

00:59:51and they are getting further and further up that Premier League table

00:59:56there's not many points earlier this season that was between us

01:00:01but we know that if we continue to play as well as we have done the last games

01:00:06the last games we can beat everyone at this moment

01:00:10that wasn't good enough from our side

01:00:12I don't talk football-wise but I talk intensity, jewels

01:00:16especially in the first half

01:00:17second half, yes we concede two on the break

01:00:20but we were better at those things that we didn't do in the first half

01:00:25but today wasn't good enough from our side

01:00:28when you came here you said that it was an ambition to be a Premier League manager

01:00:33when you hear your name being cheered by 30,000 people

01:00:37have you exceeded the expectations you had for this job?

01:00:40very proud of my team, very proud of our supporters

01:00:44this is the connection since the first game

01:00:47of course before I had this experience in other clubs

01:00:53but not like this

01:00:54I always say when I use a shirt I'm so happy on the beach

01:00:59to play for this team, to play for my teammates

01:01:01everyone knows that

01:01:02I think sometimes my emotion is too much

01:01:05because I really love to be here

01:01:07but yeah, of course the most important is help the team

01:01:10Well so much speculation about him this week

01:01:14it's building ahead of a summer transfer

01:01:16he was brilliant today, wasn't he?

01:01:18I mean he just did everything for them

01:01:19I think he showed today why so many people are talking about him

01:01:22and why everybody probably does want him in the summer transfer window

01:01:25but I think for this period at Wolves

01:01:27today he was absolutely everywhere

01:01:29I think he showed so many different sides to his game

01:01:32he's got such a large skill set

01:01:35I mean dribbling through here

01:01:36the confidence to take the shot

01:01:37yeah, he doesn't go on target

01:01:39but that didn't stop him having the influence on the game

01:01:41and being Wolves' talisman

01:01:43I think for me

01:01:44he's not happy with just giving it to Aiton Urie

01:01:47he wants to get in the box

01:01:48he wants to score

01:01:48and this finish

01:01:49you don't underestimate this finish

01:01:51to allow it to come across his body

01:01:52and place it in the bottom corner with his right foot

01:01:54but also Chappers

01:01:56in the second half

01:01:57you see him on the left wing here

01:01:58and this pass is absolutely perfect for Strand Larsson

01:02:01to take a touch to finish

01:02:02and I think for me

01:02:04what was really impressive

01:02:05is that he showed different varieties

01:02:06and he was able to speed the game up

01:02:08he was able to slow it down

01:02:09and here he gets cold

01:02:10in a 1v1 situation

01:02:11a great run

01:02:14a great finish

01:02:14I think for me

01:02:15Wolves

01:02:16if he does move in the summer

01:02:18we'll miss him

01:02:18but at this moment in time

01:02:19he's really enjoying his football

01:02:20the temptation isn't there

01:02:22is to then go

01:02:22well what's his best position

01:02:24but then if you're a modern attacker

01:02:26maybe you're expected to do a little bit of everything

01:02:28I don't know

01:02:29I think as a manager

01:02:30you would absolutely love that

01:02:31the ability to play in different positions

01:02:32but also have an influence on the game

01:02:34and have the returns that he's had today

01:02:36has been really impressive

01:02:37it's a brilliant connection isn't it

01:02:39that Vito Pereira has built up

01:02:40just within the club

01:02:42already

01:02:43and the difference he has made

01:02:44you look at this

01:02:45he took over

01:02:46Wolves for five points behind Leicester

01:02:49and in that relegation zone

01:02:50just before Christmas

01:02:51now there's a gap of 23

01:02:53between the two

01:02:54but the connection is so evident

01:02:56isn't it

01:02:57yeah and of all the managers

01:02:58who've come in mid-season

01:02:59he's been

01:03:00he's been the best

01:03:00simple as that

01:03:01they've been absolutely excellent

01:03:02they've been building

01:03:03they've not come in

01:03:04they didn't fly out the traps

01:03:05but they've just built slowly

01:03:06and the confidence they're in

01:03:08hearing Strand Larsen

01:03:09interview there

01:03:09Cunham with the smile on his face

01:03:11and the way that they're playing

01:03:12they feel like

01:03:13when they get themselves

01:03:14in a position in a game

01:03:15now they're going to win it

01:03:16right let's just show you

01:03:17the Premier League table

01:03:19Newcastle and Chelsea

01:03:21improved their chances

01:03:22of Champions League football

01:03:24today

01:03:24Fulham and Brighton

01:03:25also boosted their dreams

01:03:27of reaching Europe

01:03:27next season

01:03:28confirmation of Ipswich's

01:03:30return to the championship

01:03:31means all three relegation

01:03:33places have been decided

01:03:34in record time

01:03:35and as we've been discussing

01:03:37also the second successive season

01:03:39that all three promoted sides

01:03:41make an immediate return

01:03:43to the second tier

01:03:45let's turn our attention now

01:03:46to the FA Cup

01:03:47Crystal Palace against Aston Villa

01:03:59in the first of this weekend's

01:04:01semi-finals

01:04:02your commentary team at Wembley

01:04:04Alan Shearer

01:04:04and Steve Wilson

01:04:05a semi-final at Wembley

01:04:09is only a great day

01:04:10if you win it

01:04:11and Villa have not

01:04:12beaten Palace

01:04:13in four attempts

01:04:14since it became

01:04:15Unai Emery

01:04:16against Oliver Glasner

01:04:17Villa last won the cup

01:04:19in 1957

01:04:20and Palace have never

01:04:21won the cup

01:04:22Glasner makes three changes

01:04:24to the XI

01:04:25which played so well

01:04:26at Arsenal on Wednesday

01:04:27then Richards was suspended

01:04:29Mateta and Saar rested

01:04:30all three return

01:04:32Daishi Kamada

01:04:33preferred to Will Hughes

01:04:34in midfield

01:04:35Villa lost agonisingly

01:04:37at Manchester City

01:04:38on Tuesday

01:04:39Unai Emery

01:04:40also makes three changes

01:04:41today

01:04:41in come McGinn

01:04:43Asensio

01:04:43and Watkins

01:04:44out go Onana

01:04:45Ramsey

01:04:46and Rashford

01:04:47who is not

01:04:48amongst the substitutes

01:04:49on Mateta

01:04:56Anthony Taylor

01:04:58is saying

01:05:00it's a free kick

01:05:01Mateta wheels away

01:05:02in celebration

01:05:03but the decision

01:05:05is that he fouled

01:05:06Konza

01:05:07the referee

01:05:08wasn't that far

01:05:09away for him

01:05:10to go

01:05:11pretty early

01:05:12and calling

01:05:13Konza

01:05:14goes to try

01:05:14and kick

01:05:15the ball

01:05:15and kicks

01:05:16Mateta

01:05:16but with the ref

01:05:17given that

01:05:18they're not going

01:05:18to overturn it

01:05:19on

01:05:19yeah

01:05:20well Oliver Glasner

01:05:22is less than

01:05:23convinced

01:05:24and that's

01:05:29charged down

01:05:29by Saar

01:05:30as Paul Torres

01:05:30was

01:05:31trying to get

01:05:32Villa moving

01:05:33forwards

01:05:34this minor

01:05:35Saar

01:05:36did pretty well

01:05:37as a

01:05:37brilliant

01:05:38that's what

01:05:43he can do

01:05:43Iberra

01:05:45as a

01:05:46brilliant finish

01:05:47and Crystal

01:05:50Palace

01:05:50have the lead

01:05:51it's a poor

01:05:53ball

01:05:53and Saar's

01:05:53crawls

01:05:54and down

01:05:54and puts

01:05:54Torres

01:05:55under

01:05:55huge

01:05:56pressure

01:05:56and then

01:05:57you're thinking

01:05:57can he find

01:05:58that final

01:05:59ball

01:05:59and he certainly

01:06:00did that

01:06:01into Eza

01:06:01what a strike

01:06:02that is

01:06:0322

01:06:0423 yards

01:06:05out

01:06:06into the roof

01:06:07of the net

01:06:08what a finish

01:06:09well he is

01:06:10so often

01:06:11the star

01:06:12of the show

01:06:13for Crystal

01:06:14Palace

01:06:14and Eza

01:06:16produces

01:06:17on the big

01:06:18stage

01:06:18and the Eagles

01:06:20have the lead

01:06:21he's got himself

01:06:25in trouble

01:06:25here

01:06:25Jean-Philippe

01:06:27Mateta

01:06:27took it

01:06:27from him

01:06:28ploughing

01:06:30a little bit

01:06:30of a long

01:06:31furrow

01:06:31but he's

01:06:31done it

01:06:32brilliantly

01:06:32showed it

01:06:34to Conte

01:06:34then took

01:06:35it away

01:06:35from him

01:06:35Saar

01:06:36was in

01:06:36the middle

01:06:37Lucadine

01:06:38was there

01:06:38too

01:10:51they double

01:10:55their lead

01:10:56Ismail Asah

01:10:57claws and

01:10:58done from

01:10:58Wharton

01:10:59fantastic

01:11:00fantastic

01:11:00no time on the

01:11:01ball for

01:11:01Tielemans to

01:11:02turn

01:11:02he's under

01:11:03huge pressure

01:11:03and then

01:11:04the invitation

01:11:06arrives for him

01:11:07to have a shot at

01:11:08goal

01:11:08it opens up for

01:11:09him

01:11:09and that

01:11:10is a magnificent

01:11:12strike and a

01:11:13great goal

01:11:13nothing more than

01:11:15they deserve

01:11:15red and blue

01:11:17delirium

01:11:18because Crystal Palace

01:11:20now are within

01:11:21touching distance

01:11:22of the cup final

01:11:23and that'll be a

01:11:25Palace throw

01:11:26Aston Villa needs

01:11:28something and

01:11:29they need it

01:11:29quickly

01:11:29Richards with the

01:11:32throw

01:11:32Torres got a

01:11:34head on it

01:11:34that's not a

01:11:35great clearance

01:11:35is it for Palace

01:11:37is it for Palace

01:11:37he brought it down

01:11:39brilliantly and

01:11:39Ketian nicely

01:11:40done

01:11:40they should

01:11:42come out of

01:11:42here

01:11:42super ball in

01:11:45and the header

01:11:46is just wide

01:11:47Ismail Asah

01:11:49peels away

01:11:50and that

01:11:50would have done

01:11:51it

01:11:52should have

01:11:52done it

01:11:53brilliant

01:11:54feet

01:11:54balance from

01:11:55Eze

01:11:56and that

01:11:57has a great

01:11:58ball in

01:11:58and that should

01:11:59have been

01:11:59in the back

01:12:00of the net

01:12:01don't think

01:12:01that's a

01:12:02difficult header

01:12:02the sands of

01:12:05time

01:12:06are running

01:12:07out on

01:12:07Aston Villa

01:12:08Tina

01:12:14Munns

01:12:15dropped by

01:12:15Mketiah

01:12:16no foul

01:12:16Sar off

01:12:17down the

01:12:18middle

01:12:18Ismail Asah

01:12:19the cup

01:12:21final beckons

01:12:23for Crystal

01:12:23Palace

01:12:24up there

01:12:27with the

01:12:28greatest days

01:12:29in the club's

01:12:30history

01:12:30and they'll

01:12:32have an even

01:12:33bigger one

01:12:33to come

01:12:34well not

01:12:35for the first

01:12:36time in this

01:12:37game

01:12:37Aston Villa

01:12:38have been

01:12:38caught on

01:12:39the ball

01:12:39because of

01:12:40the pressure

01:12:40that Crystal

01:12:41Palace have

01:12:42put them

01:12:42under

01:12:42Ketiah

01:12:43is really

01:12:44really strong

01:12:44on Tielemans

01:12:45and then you

01:12:46think can he

01:12:46find that

01:12:47final pass

01:12:48and he does

01:12:49into Sar

01:12:491v1

01:12:50and no

01:12:51mistake

01:12:512 for

01:12:54Ismail Asah

01:12:553 for

01:12:57Crystal

01:12:57Palace

01:12:57and it

01:12:58will be

01:12:59only their

01:13:00third ever

01:13:01appearance

01:13:02in the

01:13:02FA Cup

01:13:03final

01:13:03sum up how

01:13:06you're feeling

01:13:06right now

01:13:06yeah for sure

01:13:07it's a special

01:13:08day

01:13:09grateful to

01:13:10God for the

01:13:10opportunity to

01:13:11play here

01:13:12and to win

01:13:13and to go to

01:13:13the final

01:13:14we want to go

01:13:14all the way

01:13:15and we believe

01:13:16we can do it

01:13:16they play better

01:13:17than us

01:13:17we tried to

01:13:19compete

01:13:19to dominate

01:13:20to impose

01:13:20but when they

01:13:22scored the first

01:13:23goal was

01:13:23coming more

01:13:25difficulties for us

01:13:26in 90 minutes

01:13:27we had our

01:13:28moment

01:13:28first dominating

01:13:30the first

01:13:3020-25 minutes

01:13:32but not

01:13:32cutting out

01:13:33of chances

01:13:33after the first

01:13:35goal as well

01:13:35we pushed

01:13:36some corners

01:13:37offensively

01:13:38and we had

01:13:38our moment

01:13:39our momentum

01:13:39but

01:13:41accepted

01:13:41and we were

01:13:43very motivated

01:13:43for this

01:13:44semifinal

01:13:44and we lost

01:13:46but keep

01:13:46going

01:13:46I was really

01:13:47very calm

01:13:48today because

01:13:48I could see

01:13:49the spirit

01:13:50I could see

01:13:50the togetherness

01:13:51and I know

01:13:52that when we

01:13:53play as a team

01:13:54when we stick

01:13:55to the plan

01:13:55when we play

01:13:56with belief

01:13:57and when we

01:13:57always play

01:13:58forward with

01:13:59all the talent

01:13:59we have in the

01:14:00team

01:14:00that we can

01:14:02score goals

01:14:02and that we

01:14:03can have clean

01:14:03sheets

01:14:04so this is

01:14:04reproved many

01:14:05times

01:14:05and so

01:14:06of course

01:14:07to show it

01:14:08then here

01:14:09is not so

01:14:11easy but the

01:14:11players did it

01:14:12again

01:14:12Chris Apalis

01:14:13in the FA Cup

01:14:14they were an

01:14:15absolute joy

01:14:16to watch

01:14:16weren't they

01:14:17they really

01:14:17were and I

01:14:18think

01:14:18when you get

01:14:19to a semifinal

01:14:20in the FA Cup

01:14:21you have to have

01:14:21a certain mentality

01:14:22and you have to

01:14:23have every player

01:14:23that's going to be

01:14:249 out of 10

01:14:24and they certainly

01:14:26were that they

01:14:26brought together

01:14:27us

01:14:27they executed

01:14:28the game plan

01:14:29and we were

01:14:30really impressed

01:14:31with them today

01:14:32and you could have

01:14:33picked out

01:14:33couldn't you

01:14:34any one of their

01:14:3511

01:14:35probably throwing

01:14:36a couple of subs

01:14:37as well

01:14:37to do your

01:14:38analysis on

01:14:38you're going to

01:14:39go for the

01:14:39front three

01:14:40yeah

01:14:40as you say

01:14:41excellent in all

01:14:43aspects of the

01:14:43pitch today

01:14:44but especially

01:14:45up front

01:14:45they were on it

01:14:46from the first

01:14:47minute

01:14:47fairly hopeful

01:14:48ball

01:14:49Mateta's not

01:14:49giving Konza

01:14:50a second

01:14:50and look we've

01:14:51gone into it

01:14:52we've looked at it

01:14:52many times

01:14:53could easily have

01:14:54that could have

01:14:54been 1-0

01:14:55but he got the

01:14:56foul

01:14:56no problem

01:14:57they're still

01:14:57on the front

01:14:58foot

01:14:58Sar so aggressive

01:15:00Pau Torres

01:15:01under pressure

01:15:02turns it over

01:15:03but once he's

01:15:04turned it over

01:15:05at speed

01:15:05he's able to

01:15:06keep his

01:15:07cool

01:15:07set it up

01:15:08and look

01:15:09reverse

01:15:10whip

01:15:10through one of

01:15:11the best

01:15:12goalkeepers

01:15:12in the world

01:15:13giving him no

01:15:13chance from 20

01:15:14yards

01:15:14that's how good

01:15:15that finish was

01:15:16and Mateta

01:15:17he was just

01:15:18everywhere

01:15:18just when you

01:15:19think oh has

01:15:19he run out of

01:15:20gas

01:15:20no sucks

01:15:21Konza in

01:15:22chips it over

01:15:23him

01:15:23and such a

01:15:24delicate ball

01:15:24with his left

01:15:25foot

01:15:25and Sar

01:15:25for everything

01:15:26great that he

01:15:27did today

01:15:27could have done

01:15:27better there

01:15:28I think this

01:15:29clip really

01:15:30epitomises

01:15:30Crystal Palace

01:15:31defending

01:15:31bodies on the

01:15:32line

01:15:32but not being

01:15:33just happy

01:15:34with defending

01:15:34and sitting

01:15:35deep

01:15:35Eze here

01:15:36getting his

01:15:36team up the

01:15:37pitch

01:15:37but also

01:15:38the amount

01:15:38of players

01:15:39that are

01:15:39running forward

01:15:40Wharton had

01:15:40a great game

01:15:41as well

01:15:41but that

01:15:42Mansar again

01:15:43trying to get

01:15:43him behind

01:15:44Villa's defence

01:15:45being able to

01:15:46hear bodies

01:15:46in the box

01:15:47and Mitchell

01:15:48who had a

01:15:49great game

01:15:49probably would

01:15:50like someone

01:15:50like Eze

01:15:51or Mateta

01:15:51on the end

01:15:52of that

01:15:52but ultimately

01:15:53this is what

01:15:54I loved about

01:15:54Crystal Palace

01:15:55they never

01:15:55give up any

01:15:56ball

01:15:56Eze here

01:15:57scrapping

01:15:58for the ball

01:15:58it lands

01:15:59to Rodgers

01:16:00here

01:16:01plays into

01:16:01Telemans

01:16:02and that was

01:16:02the trap

01:16:02for Wharton

01:16:03to go and

01:16:03press

01:16:04but also

01:16:04this Mansar

01:16:05unbelievable

01:16:06and this is

01:16:06something that

01:16:07we don't really

01:16:07see as that

01:16:08long range

01:16:08shoot

01:16:08and what a

01:16:09great finish

01:16:10and this is

01:16:10your number

01:16:11nine on the

01:16:11edge of the

01:16:12box

01:16:12this is how

01:16:12desperate

01:16:13they are

01:16:13to win

01:16:13and Eze

01:16:14with his

01:16:15tricks

01:16:15we know

01:16:15how skillful

01:16:16he is

01:16:17but it's

01:16:17always about

01:16:18having an

01:16:18end product

01:16:19and passing

01:16:19it to

01:16:19somebody else

01:16:20that's in

01:16:20a better

01:16:21position

01:16:21and unfortunately

01:16:22Sar should

01:16:23really score

01:16:23this and that

01:16:24would have

01:16:24probably topped

01:16:25off his

01:16:25performance

01:16:26but I think

01:16:27for me

01:16:27Palace

01:16:27and Ketya

01:16:28coming on the

01:16:29pitch doing

01:16:29exactly what

01:16:30Mateta did

01:16:31and Sar

01:16:31I don't know

01:16:32if you realise

01:16:33that London

01:16:33Marathon's

01:16:34tomorrow

01:16:34because he

01:16:35absolutely ran

01:16:35so much

01:16:36in this game

01:16:37but he was

01:16:37fantastic

01:16:38and I think

01:16:38for me

01:16:39the whole

01:16:39of the

01:16:39Crystal Palace

01:16:40team were

01:16:40amazing today

01:16:41There's such

01:16:42a balance

01:16:44isn't there

01:16:45about that

01:16:46front three

01:16:47I think they

01:16:48do a bit

01:16:48of everything

01:16:49I think

01:16:49Mateta can

01:16:50hold up the

01:16:50ball

01:16:50you've got

01:16:51Sar

01:16:51you've got

01:16:52Eze

01:16:52but the

01:16:53most important

01:16:53thing when you

01:16:54are as a

01:16:54front three

01:16:55is being able

01:16:55to produce

01:16:56and if you

01:16:57look at that

01:16:57in terms of

01:16:58goals and

01:16:58assists

01:16:59I think

01:16:59that allows

01:17:00Palace to be

01:17:00in the

01:17:01position that

01:17:01they are

01:17:01today

01:17:02in that

01:17:02FA Cup

01:17:03final

01:17:03Just pace

01:17:04and strength

01:17:04and skill

01:17:05Top class

01:17:06numbers they

01:17:07are

01:17:07you can build

01:17:07a season

01:17:08around that

01:17:08and there'll

01:17:08be many teams

01:17:09in bigger clubs

01:17:10who would

01:17:11kill for that

01:17:12and Crystal Palace

01:17:13have built in

01:17:13slowly and they

01:17:14all know their

01:17:14role and they're

01:17:15really playing

01:17:16well together

01:17:16And they have

01:17:17that work ethic

01:17:18I mean we

01:17:18talked about

01:17:19virtually every

01:17:20player on the

01:17:20turf on their

01:17:21knees at the

01:17:22end because they

01:17:23ran themselves
