7:32 pm
it may only be december, but chelsea's hopes of retaining their premier league title are already beginning to cool. for west ham, their struggle to stay is real. struggle to stay up is real. change is needed. the first came in goal, joe hart left out in the cold. but the difference on the pitch is what matters and it needs to come quickly. a fact lost on no one, least of all, marko arnautovic, goal bringing celebration, as much as a sigh of relief. there was a long way to go, chelsea threatening. the second half brought more chelsea chances, but with those came further frustration. morata and hazard both going close and adding to the west ham nerves. they held on for an invaluable win and offering promise of better times ahead. watching the game for 5 live
7:33 pm
was former chelsea winger pat nevin he is alongside conor mcnamara. for the first time i have been coming here, it felt like a football ground, the west ham fans, the noise they created and a first win for david moyes? yes, there was a lot of tension before the game but not the excitement of a football match. however, this one was quite magical for west ham fans. it helps it was against chelsea, who are great rivals. by remember from my time playing at the old upton park ground. as the game wore on and the tension developed, the fans got right behind the west ham team. they work themselves so hard for 95 minutes and in the end they got what they deserved. because they did deserve it. how much was it a sluggish jazzy performance. we
7:34 pm
deserve it. how much was it a sluggishjazzy performance. we have seen some improvement from west ham without winning in recent weeks. seen some improvement from west ham without winning in recent weekslj don't want to take anything away from west ham, they work very hard, the structure, the way they defended, didn't give any space to chelsea players. watching chelsea after the champions league, they have had a lot more games this season than west ham but more specifically after the champions league they have dropped points after four of the six champions league games. it is part of the reason why hazard was incredibly quiet. he had a very, very poor game. he is not a poor player, he is looking a bit fazed by having to do this week in and week out and carried the team is likely. he couldn't do it on this occasion hence why antonio conte is complaining about early starts. first, david moyes on his first win as west ham coach. what a great win.
7:35 pm
we came close against manchester city and for long periods, we thought we were going to get it. don't get me wrong it was tough today, chelsea does under pressure. we played well. if we had been better with the ball in the second half, a couple of times we could have got another goal. to face everton, you must be ready. when you play with the same players, it is very difficult because you have to pay something. the only worry is, we have just started this period. antonio conte who lost in the league for the first time since crystal palace beat chelsea. do you think west ham can build on this now? be only just lost against manchester
7:36 pm
city. they have beaten the champions now, they have to keep it at that level from now on in. it's not easy. do that every week, not something i would absolutely bet on. but david moyes has lifted them, so give them untiljust moyes has lifted them, so give them until just about january, maybe add one or two faces that would help this team get a bit of rest and they may get themselves into mid—table mediocrity, which would be a dream for them. it is a wind up for the moment keeps west ham in the relegation zone. but you get the feeling in may that if west ham avoid the drop, they will look back at this as a big turning point. worrying restult for the champions in the early kick off. let's have a look at what happened across the rest of the premier league. john is with our football reporterjohn bennett. we have two huge derbys to come on
7:37 pm
sunday. on sunday, tottenham have fallen away from the teams above. their league form has been patchy but they were right back on it today with a huge win over stoke, 5—1 the final score? 5-1, four goals in the second half. his big players stepped up, like harry kane, who scored twice. on the brink of a record. an own goalfrom twice. on the brink of a record. an own goal from ryan shawcross which was set up by son. he then scored himself. harry kane, 33 goals in the premier league in the calendar year. the record is 36, set by alan shearer in 1995. stoke, theirform is worrying, only one win in seven. totte n ha m , is worrying, only one win in seven. tottenham, 15 points behind manchester city and they are fifth in the premier league. it is similar
7:38 pm
to swansea, or crystal palace. you need somebody to open the game and then changed completely, the situation. yes, i then changed completely, the situation. yes, lam then changed completely, the situation. yes, i am very, then changed completely, the situation. yes, lam very, very pleased. the team was so clinical in front of goal. he will want to see his team follow that up in their next league match. burnley against watford, seventh against eight. would have predicted they would be at that lofty position at this stage of the season. burnleyjust edged them out in a match that was full of incident, 1—0. them out in a match that was full of incident, 1-0. marvin ziegler was sent off for a two footed challenge. scott arfield scored the winner six minutes later. nice move by burnley after they won the ball back from watford. burnley, four wins out of
7:39 pm
the last six. one point of the top four but the referee was at the centre of controversy. couple of penalty shouts turned down. but burnley will be happy. really pleased with the results. there have beena very pleased with the results. there have been a very strong start to the season, watford. we started slowly and built into the first half. overall, we delivered a control performance. it's never easy when a team goes down to ten men because it is the strange fight that people think you should win and it is most difficult. what is your view on the red card? red card, definitely. it was a poor challenge. we are seeing a picture of christian benteke with his head in his hands. it is there to say he and his team—mates and roy hodgson were doing the same. it was his penalty late in the game that would have given crystal palace a valuable win but finished 2—2.
7:40 pm
would have given crystal palace a valuable win but finished 2-2. this will be a talking point later. roy hodgson didn't want christian benteke to take the penalty. it was a thrilling game, 2—2, into injury time. there had already been a penalty early in the game. the designated penalty taker was already on the pitch. but christian benteke took the ball off him. it is about the controversy of christian benteke missing the penalty. roy hodgson is furious. it is obvious what my thoughts on the decision. we, the management decide who the penalty ta ke rs management decide who the penalty takers are and we don't expect players, during the course of the game to change those decisions. we are not on the pitch. had it been a training session we could have done something about it. but it was a premier league game and we were a long way from it. although we tried to shout out our instructions, they
7:41 pm
that he didn't get as far as the penalty spot. when winds are hard to come by, he will be furious. the late kick—off, newcastle at home to leicester. it was a thriller? fantastic game, five goals. newcastle took the lead in this game. but lest equalised. riyad mahrez back in form. took a deflection. the leicester took the lead before newcastle equalised. dwight gayle, again it's at the deflection. looked like it would be 2-2. but deflection. looked like it would be 2—2. but right at the end, look at this. perez finds the ball in the back of the net. poor form continues, only one point from their last seven matches, newcastle. 17 points in eight games since craig shakespeare was sacked. rafa benitez, not happy with his team. but claude puel has come into leicester city and is doing a good job. that is a big win the leicester
7:42 pm
city, six points of the champions league spot. newcastle slipping towards the relegation places. let's look at the results in full. one of the match, huddersfield town beating brighton 2—0. the match, huddersfield town beating brighton 2-0. very important for them. that would have been five defeats in a row if they had lost that. wilfried bony, scored the swa nsea that. wilfried bony, scored the swansea and that has taken them off the bottom of the table. let's look at the top of the table. the big news, tottenham with the win today. that moves them above arsenal into fifth. we have the two big derbys to come tomorrow. between manchester city and manchester united. then at the other end of the table, we will see swansea moving off the bottom. and crystal palace, those dropped points could be crucial at the end of the season. west ham still in the bottom three despite the excellent win against chelsea, but if they
7:43 pm
play anything like that in the coming games, they have arsenal next, they will be out of the bottom three soon. all eyes on those matches to come tomorrow. into the champioship where the evening game sees norwich hosting sheffield wednesday. they are into the second half now and shelffield wednesday striker jordan rhodes put the home side in front in the first half. norwhich have equilised james maddison with the goal. so 1—1 with around 25 minutes to go. the home side took the lead for the first time in the game. headed home from a corner. it went on the knowledge bash mac at norwich. 3—1 in the end and norwich move up to 16th in the championship. championship leaders couldn't break sunderland down destpite their opponents being down to ten men for the final 30 minutes of that game.

7:46 pm
anderson and a group of players were out in perth on the early hours of friday morning when this bizarre incident happened. why it happened is unclear, the ecb say no members of public were involved and neither we re of public were involved and neither were the police. but this is another embarrassment to an already beleaguered squad. to be honest, it is fairly trivial, but in the current climate, it is not acceptable. everyone is being warned about even small things that can be blown out of all proportion. the ecb have also been quite strict to the boys with their message. it is unacceptable. this tour has been dogged by disciplinary issues. last month, jonny bairstow was involved in another incident in a bar in perth, and the midnight curfew was introduced but that was lifted before this new controversy. ben stokes isn't even here after an incident in bristol in september.
