  4. 'It's a missed opportunity'published at 17:30 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Ipswich 1-2 Southampton

    Ipswich Town

    Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Yeah no doubt [that it is a missed opportunity], it's a bad result for us. Poor way to lose the game, we were the better team, had the better chances, should have been ahead, should have killed the game but didn't and then lost it to a poor late goal from our point of view."

    On losing it so late: "I don't think a point would have felt too much better today to be honest. We should have been well clear in the first half and we come in level in the game and we go behind from a really good start. A point wouldn't have felt great today and a defeat definitely doesn't."

    On what was missing in the second half: "We didn't manage to break down their man-to-man pressure. In the second half, we didn't sustain the pressure."

    "It's an opportunity missed, another home game that we have lost late and we have had too many of those. We had the better of the game, the better of the performance but we didn't take the win. There's a lot of football to play and it's a sore one to take but we need to make sure that we keep performing well. We need to work hard, respond in the right way and try and get stronger."

    On whether the goals his side conceded were soft: "Yeah they were, the first goal is a goal kick and it's probably the first time that they entered our box and it should be saved as well. Two poor goals."

    On any transfer activity before the window closes: "No. I don't think so. My feeling is that there probably won't be, we're still going to try for sure to improve the squad but I don't think anything will happen."

  6. 'We showed great desire'published at 17:29 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool goalkeeper Alisson, speaking to Sky Sports: "He [Mo Salah] is quality, he knows how important he is for the team when he scores.

    "Defending is something he doesn't like to do, but he does it for the team.

    On the performance: “It’s a great result that we have here away from home. We showed great desire, mentality and great quality to finish the situations that we created.”

    “Bournemouth are really intense. If you look to the data, they are the top of the tale for running, intensity - the way they play, they're aggressive.

    “You have to be focused and really sharp in every situation.

    “This intensity takes a lot of energy to win these games.

    “The Premier League is a high standard this season.”

  7. 'Substitutes scoring has been story of the season'published at 17:29 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Newcastle 1-2 Fulham

    Fulham

    Fulham's Antonee Robinson, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "In the first half we were still putting things together and it wasn't really falling for us. The second half we came in and said 'don't concede and we're going to get chances'. We came out flying, putting the pressure on them. We managed to get the goal then the lads coming on and scoring has been the story for us.

    "Tactically it was all the same, we just said 'if we don't concede we can go on and win the game'. We said we needed to be more physical, don't lose tackles. They started to get penned back a little bit and after we got the goal we just carried on our game plan.

    "The gaffer didn't have a big go at us, he just said 'go out, win your battles and you can go out and win the game'."

    On the impact of the substitutes: "It's been the story of our season. It's not just the starting XI, it's the whole squad fighting for places. The fact everyone keeps the belief and there's so much contribution from the bench just shows we're together as unit and working for each other."

  8. Salah's 'numbers speak for itself'published at 17:28 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk, speaking to BBC MOTD: "Very good win, clean sheet, hard work for both sides - it was going to be tough.

    “Bournemouth in red-hot form, it was always going to be difficult.

    "We created good moments, and I think it went a bit how we expected. There are times you could maybe be better - making the right decisions with the ball. But overall we cannot complain - 2-0 where a lot of teams have dropped points."

    On Alisson: “There were good saves, maybe even more.

    “We don’t want our goalkeeper to work hard, but today was always going to be difficult as they have the quality to hurt you.

    “We needed him, and he deserves a nice evening off tonight.”

    On Mo Salah: "Let's make it more, let's keep going. He has obviously been amazing for the football club over all those years.

    "I see the hard work he puts in, but the numbers speak for itself.

    “It's an outstanding performance, but he is a phenomenal player.”

  9. 'A disappointing day'published at 17:27 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Newcastle 1-2 Fulham

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Eddie Howe, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I don't think we played particularly well. We got ourselves ahead, we conceded a couple of poor goals today, never got full control of the game like we wanted to do. Very disappointing overall.

    "I thought both halves weren't perfect for us. In the first half we got the lead but we rode our luck at times, I don't think we ever got control like we wanted to. Overall I didn't like the feel of us today and I feel we can do a lot better.

    "It's the second home game in a row where we haven't performed and that's a huge frustration for us. That's two back-to-back games where we've been nowhere near ourselves.

    "We just have to hold our hands up and say we didn't perform today. Athletically we weren't ourselves, all these things contribute to a disappointing day."

    On whether home form is a concern with a game against Arsenal coming up:"I think the whole atmosphere and feeling will be very different on Wednesday night but it's another reminder that we need to be near our best to win games and it's another example of the quality of Premier League teams."

  10. 'We are here to fight'published at 17:26 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Newcastle 1-2 Fulham

    Fulham

    Fulham manager Marco Silva, speaking to Sky Sports: "I'm very pleased, really. It's not easy to play here against a really good side. Well managed, a very physical one as well. It's really difficult to control the game against the players they have in the middle of the park but most of the time we did it. One individual moment of quality from Gordon - we know the quality he has. We should have been better in that moment.

    "Overall I think playing here the way we did, we didn't let them press high like they normally did. First half we lacked a bit of objectiveness, we needed to be more incisive, more proactive in our attacking line. What a reaction. First 25 minutes of the second half was from a team who knew really what to do to win a game here. A great counter-attack, what a moment from ourselves.

    "Overall I think we deserve the three points. I have to praise the players for the reaction in the second half. Three points is really important. We are here to fight."

    Liverpool will now look back and wish they had played that game against Everton previously. Now, they have to face David Moyes.

    He knows how to set his team up for a derby and they are in good form now.

    Huge three points for Liverpool in any context but against this Bournemouth team, who probably deserved more, is even more impressive. Liverpool indebted to Alisson, the woodwork and the enduring finishing ability of Mohamed Salah.

  14. 'Everton were really good'published at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Everton 4-0 Leicester

    Ashley Williams
    Former Wales defender on Final Score

    Everton were really good. It always helps when you score early and Beto is trying to tell the manager he is the guy. He is saying "I'm the guy to lead the line."

    Everton did what they had to do and had way more players in attack than under Sean Dyche. Another note to Ndiaye who was excellent and got a goal that he thoroughly deserved.

  15. 'I’m really pleased for Beto'published at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time

    Everton 4-0 Leicester

    Everton

    Everton boss David Moyes told BBC Sport: "[Things are] sweeter than we felt a couple weeks ago. Great credit to the players for another outstanding performance. It’s good to see they’re making good progress.

    “When you get a goal so quickly it’s a great confidence boost. Great start. We backed it up with the second goal which allows us to play. We were a bit unlucky to score a few more at that time. At times our first-half performance was very good.

    “I’m really pleased for Beto because I’m only just getting to know him. He’s probably felt it’s been difficult for him. We need someone to score goals – we’re short on centre forwards and losing Dom was a big blow – he came in and took his goals very well.

    “We’ve played well in games. We’ve passed it well and made opportunities to score. I’m glad with the way we’re playing. We’re doing a lot of good things. There’s a lot we can try to make better. The job is to make sure we’re a Premier League team. The last three results will go a long way to making that happen.

    “I found the noise incredible. I remember what it was always like. You have to give them something to shout about and we did that from the start."

  16. 'It shows you how much quality Salah has'published at 17:24 Greenwich Mean Time

    FT: Bournemouth 0-2 Liverpool

    Liverpool

    Liverpool boss Arne Slot, speaking to Sky Sports: "Exactly the game we expected. They’re so intense and they keep running every second.

    “I said before the game when we were 3-0 up at Anfield at half-time they kept on running.

    “We had to play on top of our abilities and we needed a bit of luck to win this game.

    "They were constantly trying to do things. I didn't think we controlled the game.”

    "It is a good team and a good manager. I am very happy that we could keep a clean sheet and score two goals.”

    On Alisson: "He does incredibly well. He has been so important for so many years, it is for others to judge who is the best in the world and the league.”

    On Mo Salah’s second goal: "Maybe that second goal was the difference between the two teams.

    “It was not an easy chance, and he puts it in the net, but it shows you how much quality he has.”

    I watched Southampton a few weeks ago at Manchester United and they played really well. They confidence hasn't dropped. I thought they would be dead and buried.

    It is a big result today and I do think it is probably a bit too far away but it gives the fans something to believe in.

    On Marcus Rashford being linked to Aston Villa...

    It suits all parties. I think Rashford needs to get his head down and get on with football.

    We seem to have been talking about what he’s doing away from football, it’s a bit boring.

    He needs to knuckle down and get on with it.
