  1. Manager reactionpublished at 17:17 Greenwich Mean Time 21 February 2015

    Queens Park Rangers manager Chris Ramsey, speaking to BBC Sport: "I am absolutely disappointed for the players, they could not have given more today. They tried to keep that point we had at half-time, but we cannot let it crush us because we have got more games to come.

    "Robert Green made an outstanding save, but unfortunately a lapse of concentration right at the end, and that is what happens in the Premier League. It was a long time to go with 10 men, and to be honest for parts of it we tried to play but it was difficult. Hull are a very good side. It would have been massive for the club."

    On the sending off of Joey Barton: "There was a bit of a melee and obviously the referee saw something that wasn't legal, and he has sent Joey off. He is a wholehearted player. He's more disappointed for the boys, and he is a massive player for us.

    "We will have a look at it and see if it was warranted or not. We can take heart from today's performance. The boys are in there, genuinely disappointed. We are going to have a camp now to try and put things right for the next game."

    Manchester United captain Wayne Rooney: "It is disappointing to go in front and then lose the game. I thought the performance was good, we dominated the game, particularly in the second half. Swansea were struggling to get out of their area but we couldn't get that second goal. They saw that out and got some luck with their goal.

    "We created lots of chances but, in fairness, Swansea defended the box well. But we have to move on - it was one of those games.

    "We certainly deserved to win the game. That's the disappointing thing, when you play well and can't get the win. But that's football."

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche:

    "I am very pleased with the application and the quality we showed. The mentality is solid and they are a very good side. A couple of times in the second half they made some good chances but I am very pleased with the general performance and how they are growing in this league.

    "We have got to make sure we learn what this division is about. The players are improving. The mentality and the physicality has always been there.

    "Ashley Barnes has worked very hard for us, he has come in and taken his chance. We know what we are about and we know we can stay relentless in our application and our thinking."

    Chris Bloomfield:, external Truly is Sunday league defending by Vlaar...unbelievably poor. After today's results, it means Villa can't win the league ;-)

    Harry Partridge:, external Considering United's remaining fixtures, I think they'll struggle to improve on the pitiful 64pts they picked up last season.

    Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho:

    "No [the red card did not change things]. There are four moment of the game where you can write the story. Minutes 30, 33, 43 and 69. Don't ask me more questions.

    "I can't go through the incidents. I am punished when I refer to these situations and I don't want to be punished. I believe in spite of some clear callers, you guys are honest and professional, the callers can disturb the truth. I truly believe you are all honest people.

    "To describe I have to use words that I cannot. It is better we finish. I don't want to look silly in front of you. I am surprised we didn't lose.

    "I believe in your honesty and I believe you want to do a good service to English football. I am not paid to comment on the pundits work. Sometimes I do but I shouldn't."

    Hull midfielder Tom Huddlestone, speaking to BBC Sport: "We plugged away and plugged away, they could have caught us on the break a couple of times but thankfully we got the winner in the end. Since the City game the lads have been full of confidence, but we have got to beat the teams around us."

    On the sending off of Joey Barton: "It was one of these things. Everyone was saying a few bits, but probably Joey Barton has done a reaction people do dozens of time in the week in training, when there is no malice in it. But the referee was right there and he saw it."

    Swansea's Jonjo Shelvey, whose shot deflected off Bafetimbi Gomis for the winning goal: "I'd love to claim it but it has hit Gomis. If it doesn't hit him then it probably wouldn't have gone in.

    "David De Gea is a world-class keeper so he probably would have saved my shot."

    Marvic Cordina:, external So unlike United to play a whole game hoofing the ball towards Fellaini. United are losing their identity!

    Sunderland winger Adam Johnson, who had a first-half goal ruled out for offside: "We heard at half-time it was clearly onside. These things seem to happen in every game for every team.

    "The officials have got to get them right because it's costing us three points and the chance to move up the table. I think West Brom came for the point. If we'd got the first goal, they'd never have scored."

    "There will be complaints about the red card from Chelsea. Yes Nemanja Matic should have gone but the tackle on him by Ashley Barnes was disgraceful. But do not take it out of context. Burnley fought and battled and chased. And Danny Ings fired only just wide at the end, almost capping a phenomenal end to the game."
