FT: Brighton 2-2 Leicester
Leicester manager Ruud van Nistelrooy, speaking to Match of the Day: "The season couldn't end like this with a lack of goals or with this run of form and we broke that cycle today.
"We want to finish the season in a positive way to ensure we start the next season as good as we can."
FT: Brighton 2-2 Leicester
Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler. speaking to Sky Sports, said: "There were plenty of chances. We were not mature enough and were too naive. We didn't react well to the second balls and the last 25 minutes were not acceptable.
"It's a concern. We have to show our reaction and stick together, that's what I demand from the players."

Former Aston Villa and Liverpool defender on Final Score
It would be heartbreaking for Forest to miss out on Champions League football at this point given all the work they have put into the season.
They have to go back into the dressing room now and say, "Ok, bad day at the office. Let's go again and re-group." We've seen them bounce back from adversity at times already this season, so it is not the end of the day.
However, the teams behind them are in good form.

Nottingham Forest manager Nuno Espirito Santo, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "The performance was not good. Last minute of the game, from an offensive corner we conceded so we are disappointed but in terms of the game, we were not good. Everton were dominant.
"Today we felt the boys were not able to do the things they normally do. It is in our hands [to qualify for the Champions League] and we have to bounce back."

Abdoulaye Doucoure sometimes gets stick from Everton fans, but as long as he’s not asking for silly money, I hope he gets a new contract. He’s always popping up with big goals and we need players who have the passion for the club. Sign him up!

FT: Nottingham Forest 0-1 Everton
Everton manager David Moyes, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I have got to say it was a great goal but thoroughly deserved. It certainly merited a win and I though we played very well, when you come to a team sitting third in the Premier League and the semi-final of the FA Cup. I think if anyone was going to score, it was us."
On Abdoulaye Doucoure: "He has done great since I have come back. His work rate is very good for us and we are really enjoying him.
"I have had a lot of games and sometimes football can go that way or you. I am getting a brilliant response from the supporters and the players but I am also calm enough to know it could change. Today we have put on a good show and I am proud of how the players are performing. We are trying to make small steps every week.
"If we keep this form up, it will be fantastic as we can give ourselves some form coming into the new stadium. We want to attract the best players to this club and I would love to have a season like Nottingham Forest are having this season, next season here."
While Mikel Arteta and Thomas Frank deliver their half-time team talks, let's get some post-match reaction to the 3pm game.

Keith: Well, that was a bit of a nothing half.

Image source, ReutersI know there hasn't been an awful lot of chances but there has been some good play.
Arsenal have produced some good build-up play and positionally they have been really good in forward areas. But the criticism is that they have not had the cutting edge.
Brentford are doing enough to keep them on their toes.
Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
All a little flat after the fireworks in midweek.

That's where Leandro Trossard comes alive, in and around the edge of the box. He has such a low centre of gravity, he twists and turns and shoots on both feeet.
It was a good strike, one you expect Mark Flekken to save, but nonetheless he had to deal with it.
Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
A rare moment of quality as Leandro Trossard creates space for himself and then lashes it towards the Brentford net.
Mark Flekken gets down and stretches to keep it out.

One attempt on target by Arsenal so far. It's all a little bit pedestrian right now.

We know when Declan Rice opens his legs, he has that long stride to go past people and get into good areas.
When he makes those runs, particularly in the inside channels, it is hard to deal with.
Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
A good burst into the box by Declan Rice and Mark Flekken is forced to get down and save but the ball is still loose. It's eventually scrambled behind for an Arsenal corner.

Arsenal might be disappointed that they are not one or two goals up. They haven't created many big chances but they have played some really good football.
Brentford have defended their box really well but also going forward they have had a few moments that will just keep Arsenal on their toes. They know Brentford can offer a threat.
Arsenal 0-0 Brentford
Outstanding defending by Kristoffer Ajer to block Gabriel Martinell's attempt about seven yards out after a lovely pass by William Saliba.
This has been a slow-burner but Arsenal are starting to show their quality.

Premier League match centre via X on Kieran Tierney's disallowed goal:
"VAR checked the referee’s call of goal – and established that Tierney was in an offside position and recommended that the goal was disallowed."

It's good to watch from Arsenal. There are lots of rotations of positions and passing combinations and it is really difficult to defend against. Arsenal are starting to find a bit of rhythm in this game now.
