  1. 'This win will give us belief'published at 22:17 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Ipswich 0-2 Brighton

    Brighton & Hove Albion

    Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler speaking to BBC Sport: "It wasn't the best performance from us, but in the end, we controlled the game and were stable out of possession. We created more chances in the second half, so we deserved to win. I am happy about it. We have suffered in this period and this win should give us the belief and self confidence. Now we have to prepare for the next challenge."

    On what he told his players at half-time: "I told them to stay patient and not to try to force it. We tried to force it too much in the first half. We were not getting our positioning right. We changed a few things. In the second half, though they played with more intensity and pressed better, we were more dominant and created more chances. That's why I think we deserved it."

    "Every victory in the Premier League means a lot to me because it's very difficult to win in this league. We saw that in the recent weeks. We had great performances, sometimes even better than today, but in the end the result is the most important thing. We are happy but there's only a short time to be happy. We have to focus on the next."

    On Georginio Rutter: "I am impressed by his attitude and how positive he always is. He always has a smile on his face. He really enjoys being on the pitch and playing with the lads. He has a lot of important experience in the Championship. He is a good finisher and I am very happy he is here. But there are a lot of things to improve and he knows it. We try to give him the environment where he can improve every day."

  2. 'We can win every match'published at 22:15 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Man Utd 3-1 Southampton

    Manchester United

    Manchester United hat-trick hero Amad Diallo speaking to BBC Sport: "I feel good. I am so happy to score my first hat-trick at Old Trafford. But for me, the most important thing was to win this game and I am happy for the club that we could win it.

    "I am so happy for the goal against Liverpool and also today. But the most important thing was to win and I am happy for that.

    "I think the team believed till the end. Today we showed that we were the best team on the pitch. We were going to win this game and we did it in the end.

    "It's important to win. This gives us the confidence for the next match. We have to keep going like this and play like this. I believe in this team. We can win every match. We showed at the end that we were very good."

  3. 'We conceded sloppy goals'published at 22:13 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Ipswich Town 0-2 Brighton

    Ipswich Town

    Ipswich Town midfielder Kalvin Phillips, talking to TNT Sports, said: "Disappointing. In the first half we had the better chances, we were well in the game but in the second half the intensity dropped.

    "Brighton are a good team, have got good players in attacking areas but we conceded a few sloppy goals.

    "In the first 15 minutes we didn't get hold of the game then started to play well towards the end of the first half. We came in and said we were well in the game and we were close to getting a goal with Wes [Burns'] shot, then the two goals cost us.

    "We're trying to not look at the table too much, but we knew we were out of the relegation zone and Brighton had not won in a while so it was a chance to get three points but it was not to be."

    Heartbreak for Southampton, they did not deserve to be on the losing side. Great to see the Juric's imprint on what he is trying to do but with Russell Martin's possession based foundation.

    Southampton never looked like a bottom team the Premier League.

    Ivan Juric will be so disappointed to come away with nothing.

    Ruben Amorim knew he had to do something.

    Joshua Zirkzee did really well and he pressed from the front. That puts everyone on the front foot behind those players.

    Amorim will be delighted with the win, but he will think how can we start games like this?

    You could feel it.

    The substitutions made a difference and the shackles come off and it allowed Amad to play further forward.

    That is the type of football you expect form Man Utd throughout the full game.

    Southampting playing around with the ball at the back.

    Taylor Harwood-Bellis has a poor touch and Amad does what he has done all season, he pounces on the poor touch and Aaron Ramsdale is not in the goal frame.

    Simplest of passes into the back of the net - talk about making a difference.

    What a recovery from Manchester United.

    However much Amad is being paid in his new contract, they should double it.

    Make that a hat-trick!

    What a display by Amad Diallo as he gets a third. It is a familiar sight for Southampton fans, though, as they are caught trying to play out from the back and Diallo punishes them.

    We're into the third minute of five added on. There's a big smile on Amad Diallo's face with his two goals rescuing Manchester United.

    Wow.

    I thought there be would be another moment.

    With the tempo Man Utd have got, pushing this tiring Southampton team backwards. Of course, it's Amad Diallo.

    He has an eye for big moments.

    His pace and running power doesn't dissipate.

    Amad Diallo again!

    The forward has rescued Manchester United as his double looks to have sealed all three points.

    It is a move he starts and finishes, playing a one-two with Christian Eriksen, whose excellent flicked pass puts Diallo through and he makes no mistake.

    It is heartbreak for Southampton, who were the better side for 70 minutes, but relief for Manchester United.

    Unfortunately for Southampton their dominance for the first 70 minutes might not be worth anything at this rate. They should've scored more when they were in the driving seat, they look like they're clinging on now. They don't deserve anything less than three points here.

    It isn't really a get out of jail card for Manchester United because they'll have expected to be beating the side bottom of the Premier League. There is still time for them to find the winner, however, and to their credit they are giving it a good go now.

    This is the United performance I expected to see from the first whistle.

    The talent that they've got and the stature they have got - this performance should be a given.
