    Sanchez the man again for Arsenal. A brilliant signing. As for Southampton, no panic at all despite 2nd successive loss.

    Southampton were resilient, well-organised and might have fancied their chances of seeing it out had Alderweireld not been injured.

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane, talking to BBC Sport: "We started well, we got at them and created a couple of chances - my header which hit the bar could have gone in on another day.

    "The boys never gave up but we're disappointed. We're playing well, though, and tonight is something we have to learn from."

  6. Manager reactionpublished at 22:14 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Everton manager Roberto Martinez: "In the first half we did enough to win the game, but you don't win games with one-goal margins.

    "I'm incredibly proud of the effort of the players. In the second half we were disrupted - Leighton Baines got a knock to the nose and got punished when Hull got the goal and we didn't have the energy to get the winning goal.

    "With the number of games it's incredibly high - the effort and character was magnificent. They came here with a clear approach - a lot of energy and made it difficult to break them down. Hull were ruthless in taking their chance."

    Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger on BBC Sport: "It was a difficult game against a good side but we deserved to win, it was a victory of patience and intelligence and we kept our structure well.

    "We were more fluent, sharper and quicker against Manchester United but we exposed ourselves. We learnt a lesson maybe, we were too impatient and today we were patient until we scored at the end.

    "We were jaded physically but Alexis Sanchez can dig deep and has such desire and a will to win, he still finds that resource to get you something special.

    "Olivier Giroud made a big difference. You could see the physical impact. He looked sharp.

    "We had to be patient to create chances and their keeper played well. A positive of the night is thee clean sheets in a row. big respect for the attitude of the players and the solidarity they show."

    "It's not all doom and gloom for Arsenal fans. They obviously do want to start competing again in the championship.

    "But, I think there are signs there of a bright future with some of the players there."

    Everton goalscorer Romelu Lukaku: "We as a team have to improve. Last year, playing at home was our strength, this year it has been difficult."

    Hull manager Steve Bruce: "The second half we were much, much better. There wasn't much between the sides in the first half. After the difficult weekend in Manchester and a difficult month - if anybody was going to win it was us.

    "Who knows with the point, we have hopefully stopped the rot. It was the first time we were in the relegation zone in 18 months. It's only our second season up. The Premier League is starting to take shape. We hope we can still finish midway through the division - we have a far better chance than we did last season."

    Callum Knox:, external Love a last minute win but lets not kid ourselves that was poor. Scrappy goal against a Southampton with 10 men at home. #AFC

    Sunderland manager Gus Poyet, speaking to BBC Sport: "We started the game very well but we gave too many options to City to attack. We didn't have the time to improve technically after taking the lead because they equalised so soon with a superb goal. When you have players like Aguero, they can do something from nothing."

  18. Getting better all the time?published at 22:02 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2014

    Can Sergio Aguero really keep getting better? A sobering thought for defenders and goalkeepers around the Premier League. Staying injury-free has been his biggest problem for the past few years.

    Manchester City very impressive. Aguero 66 goals in 101 PL apps his first was a blistering effort.

    Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, speaking to BBC Sport about two-goal Sergio Aguero: "Sergio is only 26 and he can improve every day. At the moment we are seeing very high performances from him. Not only is he scoring but he's playing well as well.

    "The team is coming again in their performances and all the players are having more trust in what we are doing, but we must continue the same way."
