the studio. Alongside myself, Rebecca Lowe, Dana
Higginbotham, Rabia lots, to get to top bottom of the table.
All the eyes were on both areas of the table. Today. Let's
start shall we with the game
at the top? The title race, Manchester City taking on
Chelsea key moment Robbie. Okay, 922 key chances for two
Belgian International. This is romelu Lukaku, Chelsea
fashioned him, a good chance.
Just after half time. They get him free. The getting
one-on-one with the goalkeeper. So different save for medicine,
but I think When you've been bought for 135 million
to play at the top of the picture, should be finding
the back of the net. They became costly because here the brain
and picks up a lovely ball from conselho your veins,
a challenge in, can't a,
and then as a football intelligence, and the ability
to bend this ball away from Kappa. Kappa is just got his
weight on his right side can get across to that left hand
side. You can beautiful finish by Kevin De, bruyne it a moment
of magic. A moment that
one all sleep points
for Manchester City 12, straight wins
and one hand on the firmly tight line.
13 points. Clear at the top from two teams, trying to win
the league, to two teams, trying to stay in it Danny.
It's James's Park New Castle at Watford and it was some Maxima.
And again, he has no right to be able to score from this
position, where he picks the ball up or
is a real fans, favourite you go back to the times as you
know, where the scrilla it just gets fans off their feet in
the stand. And it's just a wonderful finish. Did you see
it? When he picks the ball up, he has no. Right. Look at him
out of what the plays that are
back. He wins the ball back. We just pause it here for Watford
players. It's such a huge task room to actually find the back
of the net from there.
He creates a little bit of space
and finds the corner to wonderful finish as well.
And it really got the new customer support us
and we'll up and delighted the signs that they've made
recently and then you thinking, it's a feel good Factor. You
see not being followed in celebration in the play, is all
getting involved as well. But then what would start to get
themselves into it? The cell just with a
short pass then it's just a counter-attack from Watford and
sissoko makes a really good run late. Listen to himself into
a great position to hit it first time, but he just goes high and
wide another real big opportunity.
Pop it on the counter
and that came from newcastle's own mistakes
and Watford half. And the way that what the den sprung
forward, and they started to ask more questions and then
they got themselves, an equalizer in the 87th minute,
and it's really well worth this time. Down the right-hand side.
Just keep your own job. Pedro comes up against LaSalle's,
standing drum full of cells. Never stood a chance, Richard
Pedro.
And he ends up getting the equalising, see what Eddie how
things about it, but it's great play. They say just wanted to
touch football down the side and lovely, boiling,
and job head roll, right? Place right time and get some really
well to get the equalizer Norwich City at the bottom
along side, Newcastle and Watford really capitalized on
that draw by beating Everton at home in really the scoreline
of the day Rob. Yeah, and it benefit of an own goal. Michael
Keynes had a difficult time, is Centre back for Everton. In him
makes a massive this
Cleveland team instead of moving his feet and get your
thoughts of the ball. He kind of lunges at it gets a tow goes
past the goalkeeper into the back of the net knowledge, one
airlock 60 minutes on the clock and just 92 seconds. Later.
Nobody's getting a set rooms Williams from the left back
position. Picks up the ball.
Mr. Going to do well to pick out an immediate in the center
of the goal in the altar, takes a touch draws out
the goalkeeper
in his clinical with his finish here. It's a really well work
gold from knowledge point of view and but we can't quite
believe.
It still scored two goals in the family gamer, tune up into
the second half, you expect a little bit from everything,
the change of system,
change your personality charlatan on as a second-half
substitute. Does this?
We'll keep a conscience and really small finish by
the charlatans. But in the end, not enough to get themselves
anything from the game. And that's a really
disappointing
defeat for Everton. And then, his brother goes down
the touchline. You see, the middle of the fans Bonitas? Get out of
our club testing times to the optimum engine. You're not
happy. Are they have some fans Alexis for match summary shows
off. The fewest points in
the Premier League's since October
Everton right now at the top of that list and that is why sky
sports tonight a reporting. An Everton board meeting will
happen this evening, including the owner of the club for had
Machinery as Rafa Benitez. Now looks to be
on borrowed time. Let's hear from the Hampton boss after
that defeat at Norwich
rappers up. See, very disappointing result for you.
How damaging do you think it is
really disappointed? Because obviously we were coming here
thinking about win, disappointed for the fans that
they were making a
long trouble to come here and support the team. So
it's
difficult because we have The same situation in the past.
I think
we're not
doing bad. And then we consider two goals with our own
mistakes. Then you haven't gained another
mountain to climb and
we make the things difficult for us.
You say Mountain to climbed just the job as a whole feel
a mountain to climb at the moment. Professional just
concentrate on
to prepare
the next training session. The next games and that's
very quick fire. The two goals in 94 seconds between the two
of them which Which is obviously rare, but we used to
disappoint your defense didn't reconfigure.
I'm disappointed that we don't learn, so
we made the same mistakes in the past
and we continue making similar mistakes and we have been
talking about that. We have been working on that but it
seems that the when we are on the beach,
we have a little bit of anxiety and we make these kind of
mistakes,
develop our cats and Villa against Manchester United
first, half along to United Danny and they started really
well. And Fernandez just takes a bit of a pot show you
Expected to trouble
a keeper Martinez is quality.
Yes, Cavani makes the run across Martinez then appeals.
He thinks that it's soft side needs in the way, but it's not
offside, and it's it's a real big mistake from Martinez, you
know, what, such a good goalkeeper. He is, and he won't
want to see that again
down. You see the Manchester United players celebrating and
then they kept asking more questions. Great run from
Cavani. He, drags Ming's and diinya that leaves a space for
Greenwood Martinez,
gets out really well in. So, it's a small circle. Just
a movement for Cavani just creates that space. You bring
what their Martinez? Make sure for the earlier mistake. And
this was the only chance for us than Villa
in the first half.
When do you get some really well, but it's a great safe
room. They're here and the near Post in the right place at
the right time and that's how it that's how I ended up.
And then the start the second half
green would have a lot more to say, in this game is in terms
of game forwarding just goes wide with his rifle shot
about. They double their lead Fernandez again, Robbie young
to nerves. Rebecca killed, you all kinds of problems and Villa
have possession the in the book comes into son.
And he charged plate back to Ming zi. Doesn't get there and
fed does a good job. Just laying into the path of
Fernandez. It's a stunning finish from Manchester. Now.
I just kind of you
watch the pressing much more organized, Fernandez starts
Fred goes in
Greenwood follows up.
Here's a challenge in the wide area.
And then, if you find this week, the FED Fernandez gets
his gold one golden 14 before today, a brace
with this stage and much and I think they've done enough to
hang on to all three points, but we sauce and some off
continue on what the Villa fans had one. Did and Philip
continue to push forward. Look at Dean on this near side and
play
particularly. Well,
then continues involved in a little give and go combination
play with you play. So well, forget to talk to people and it
finds its way to Jacob Ramsey
and what a finish. It is from this young man, clearly on side
develop players there when it finds its way to Nam detects,
touch with his right. Finish with these were filler back in
the game.
And we were sitting here thinking. Well,
it couldn't couldn't continue and well,
Ramsay, does a brilliant job here of joy.
Hitting the ball first time as it comes to him.
He all that. He's at the looking recognizes the kachinas
in the middle. When the ball comes a little
Winger, just lets it over the goalkeeper into the back of
than that spot. The scenes Aston Villa a better love for
any more
secrets. The story there in the West Midlands does take you to
the other part of the Midlands, wolves against Southampton,
both of these nicely poised in mid-table the game. Daddy.
Yeah. It wasn't as good pressing
early on from wolves and
then just see The Challenge from bednarek.
And I ignore the referee initially gives a corner, but
then he's surrounded first of all by material and then
the rest of the walls plays he goes over to have a look at the VA
on the question is here, does bednarek get the ball
the referees and a bit of a closer look and he decided that
he doesn't get anything on the board. Just see the challenge
there
and the referee makes the decision to give the penalty to
give wolves the opportunity to take the lead
and it's him. And as he steps up since forced to the wrong
way and gives wolves the lead, the really cool calm and
collected penalty.
I'm just going into the second half,
probably one of the most unlikely goalscorers you're
ever going to see an end. And you can see how it means to all
of his teammates as well. When they celebrate. This is killman
with the initial header. Then it just Falls lovely for coding
and he's the first one,
plenty of Southampton plays around him.
But he's the first one to react and you see quite clearly
before him and has touches it. The ball is over the line. See
you here with the goal decision system,
and then everybody
goes forward to get involved in concluding the goalkeeper Joe
Cesar, but then Southampton ward-prowse. Best free kick
takers in the Premier League.
This is absolutely phenomenal.
Every time you watch. It just gets better and better. The
swerve on. It is just wonderful and that gives Southampton
the opportunity then to start creating a few chances of
the realm
and they do get a chance right before the ending. Its payroll.
The left back getting forward, just hits the crossbar and post
and just doesn't go into the back of the net.
And then try your a
and stay on the counter-attack,
Southampton commit, a lot of men for, but then throwing all
the pace that he's got. Sometimes it's the finishing
touches, but it shows that he's capable. Love it with this
goal.
Three point seven four walls, their eighth position. Now in
the Premier League, if you have a little look further up,
you'll see that giant Gap. Manchester City 13 point lead
over Chelsea. They've played the same number of games, then
it's livable who have two games in hand. A point further,
back from Chelsea 14 points behind City.
They take on Brentford tomorrow, West Ham and forth, Arsenal
in fifth Tottenham, Manchester United there
in seventh of walls. Brighton
and Lester and your top half the bottom, half the movers.
Well, Southampton are in 212 pushing, bro. A down who don't
pay till tomorrow breakfast down into 14th, the list 1830.
The bottom is where it's really interesting nurik. Drop the
bottom for the first time since December,
there into 18th, Newcastle, stare 19th Burnley, fall to
the bottom, but they have a bunch of games in hand, but nobody
yet is adrift.
That was your Premier League update.
