    Swansea City 2-0 Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Steve McClaren: "We didn't learn a lot apart from it is difficult to win with 10 men. 

    "A little bit of naivety has cost us, 10 men and your backs are against the wall. We have to dust ourselves down and concentrate on the Manchester United game next week.

    "I'm not too sure whether it was a second booking but we knew he would be a danger and unfortunately we fell into the trap."

    Tottenham 2-2 Stoke

    Tottenham midfielder Christian Eriksen to BBC Sport: “We probably saw ourselves winning but in the end we didn’t. We showed a lot of confidence the first half. We played really well the first 30 minutes, but slowed down. Everyone was disappointed and don’t get how you can be 2-0 up and end up with a draw.”

    There is something wrong at Sunderland football club. You go back to former managers Steve Bruce, Roy Keane, Martin O'Neill, Paolo Di Canio...

    West Ham 1-2 Leicester

    West Ham defender Carl Jenkinson, speaking to BBC Sport: "In the first 10 minutes we started well but after that it was an uphill battle. I didn't think they really took control of the game, they were decisive with their finishing but I would not say they outplayed us. It is frustrating, we got one back and I thought we would get another but it didn't land for us.

    "I thought the red card was a bit harsh, it was a high foot but I am sure it was accidental. I ended up in goal but fortunately I didn't have too much to do."

    Former Newcastle manager Alan Pardew had them playing the best they could play. Maybe we need to give new boss Steve McClaren more time. He wants to bring in English players, but it will cost him.

    Tottenham 2-2 Stoke

    Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino to BBC Sport: “In football it’s never closed until the final whistle. It’s disappointing. The team played very well for 70 minutes and the penalty changed the game a little bit. 

    "We need to be optimistic, look forward and keep working. From my position it was difficult to see what happened, I don’t know if it was a penalty or not, but until this moment we played really well and created chances.”

    Tottenham 2-2 Stoke

    Stoke boss Mark Hughes to Sky Sports: “First half it wasn’t what we were looking for, we allowed Spurs a little bit too much time, too much space, and played into their hands. I’m disappointed with both goals, really. 

    "At 2-0 it was a big task for us but we understood what we needed to do, disrupt their rhythm, and do the hard yards. I think the substitutions helped, we got more craft on later in the game and that opened things up. We got our reward and we were by far the better team in the second half. 

    "I’ve got a lot of good players who are disappointed when I don’t pick them. We were able to bring good quality on that affect the game. I’m delighted with the second-half performance, it wasn’t a complete 90-minute performance, but delighted to take the point.”

    Norwich boss Alex Neill on BBC Sport: "I thought it was very good, similar to last week in that we dominated the game. 

    "We had the cutting edge this time though. "The first goal is crucial and we got it and didn't look back. I have a great group, they work hard and work as a team."

    They produce players all the time. Garry Monk's selection of players is spot on. If he continues like this then if Everton boss Roberto Martinez struggles then he's the perfect choice.

    Sunderland 1-3 Norwich

    Sunderland manager Dick Advocaat on BBC Sport: "Two games two defeats we did not expect. With all respect to Norwich, we must get the result but they were the better side in everything. 

    "We have to discuss with the players how we go on. It was the same in pre-season and you hoped it would change but it is not changing. Myself as well, I am responsible for that, no doubt. "

    Together we have to find out if we can find the solution. Expectation we high, we have to find the reason otherwise we have no chance. There were many good players, Yann showed he is a good player. We have to find out the reason, they can talk and I can talk."

    Swansea City 2-0 Newcastle United

    Swansea manager Garry Monk: "We dominated the whole game from start to finish. When the red card does come it impacts on the dynamic of the other team more and they sat back after that.

    "We were very professional in the second half and made sure we won the game with a clean sheet. 

    "We started well, got a fantastic goal. We were very professional after the sending off and we could have had more goals."

    Watford 0-0 West Brom

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis:  "We talked about Watford starting at a high pace and we looked like it was surprise. But we restricted them to few chances. The changes made a bit of a difference. This is there cup final in a lot of respects. It was a wonderful atmosphere."

    On Saido Berahino's late miss: "It was a good chance and he will be disappointed. But he is a good player."

    On transfers: "We are hoping to do a lot of business in the next few weeks, with people coming in and going. It is a period of transition and hopefully it will gel properly and we can move forward."

    Stoke were dead and buried at half-time, but when Mark Hughes is in charge of a team he never gives up. Stoke got what they deserved - they really battled.

    Leicester City boss Claudio Ranieri, speaking to BBC Sport: "All the match was good for us. We are playing well. All the players play like a team, they play with the ball on the ground and it is important to increase our stamina and fitness, and also our mentality.

    "We are working very hard with the defensive line. I have very good players in front, very fast but it is important we all stay together.

    "I didn't want to defend too deep but when you see your players go deep it is better to help them with their mentality."
