    Liverpool 0-3 West Ham

    West Ham manager Slaven Bilic:  "We played good, we started well. We were well organised, and had a plan. The players worked to the plan perfectly. Their movement, concentration and possession was top level.

    "We parked the bus but we didn't put the handbrake on. It was simply great defending when we didn't have the ball."

  3. GREAT SAVE!published at 17:55 British Summer Time 29 August 2015

    Tottenham 0-0 Everton

    Harry Kane is onside, he's clean through, is this his first goal of the season...no!

    Tim Howard stands up and makes a great save, Kane was very hesitant though. A few months ago that would have whistled into the net.

  4. 'Mourinho is the top man'published at 17:54 British Summer Time 29 August 2015

    Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace boss Alan Pardew on BBC Sport: “It was a really good performance today - one of the best performances I’ve seen from one of my teams in terms of composure. 

    "We can frighten teams with our pace and we did that from start to finish. Our defenders had to defend really well and they did. We’ve added new players but haven’t lost our spirit. We have got technically better players than last season. I’m not saying we’re contenders for Europe but we’re a good side. 

    "Mourinho is the top man, he was very honourable in defeat today."

  5. 'Mistakes can happen'published at 17:51 British Summer Time 29 August 2015

    Liverpool 0-3 West Ham

    Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers tells BBC Sport: "The first goal is a cheap goal and that gave them a motivation and fight. The second was a mistake, which can happen. We started brightly and then had Coutinho sent off. I didn't think that was a sending off and neither was the one for Noble as well.

    "We didn't defend moments well at all. We need to be much better than that. That opportunity to work the goalkeeper didn't happen. We are disappointed but we'll reflect on it and come back and look to win our next  game."

    Jason Roberts on Final Score:  "On the evidence of today I think Liverpool are going to have a disappointing season. Benteke didn't get into the game at all, they need more work on the training ground."

  8. 'No common sense'published at 17:46 British Summer Time 29 August 2015

    Stoke 0-1 West Brom

    More from Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We were so clearly the dominant team in the opening stages. It was only a matter of time before we created a chance but unfortunately the referee only saw one side of the coin with the Affelay red card. He raised his hands, which is a sending off. But you have to see the whole incident. He reacted to Craig Gardner raising his hands towards him.

    "We had 28,000 people here to see a quality Premier League game and the officials need to take that into account. They were too quick to hand cards around. If I complain to the powers-that-be I will get a double-sided piece of paper with an explanation - but where is the common sense?"

    Aston Villa 2-2 Sunderland

    Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood: "Anyone who watched that game knows that we should have won. We had 22 shots, the keeper has pulled off a 'worldy 'save and we should have had a penalty. We have been robbed.

    "It definitely should have been a penalty. Younes Kaboul pulls out but there's contact - it is a penalty. My team couldn't have done any more today."

    Chelsea 1-2 Crystal Palace

    Palace defender Damien Delaney on BBC Sport: “That was full throttle for 90 minutes. It wasn’t a sit-in, 11-men beside the ball game. We had a good few chances and could have made it more comfortable.

    “We’ve come here the last two years, sat in and got beat. But we said ‘if we’re going to get beat, let’s have a go’. Once we got them on the back foot we thought we could keep them low after their start to the season. 

    "There was a lot of Chelsea men in the box at the end, Kurt Zouma came forward. We were trying to throw ourselves in the way of everything.

    "It’s three points, that’s all it is. We have nine points so far, 31 more and I’ll be happy – whether we get them by Christmas or May.”

    Bournemouth 1 Leicester 1

    Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri tells BBC Sport: "We conceded the goal and until then we were playing well. After the goal we slowed down the tempo and had no great personality.

    "There were 10 minutes when Bournemouth played very well. In the second half we put them under pressure and made some good chances. I think at the end we deserved to draw.

    "It's important to take one point from a difficult match. 

    "We have a week now where the players go to their national team and when they come back we must re-start with the same mentality."

    Bournemouth 1-1 Leicester

    Eddie Howe tells BBC Sport : "Injuries were key in the game, particularly in our ability to change tactically and it's not nice when you see your team-mates going off injured. 

    "They all look nasty and at the moment they are in the treatment room being assessed, although we won't know how serious they are until they get scanned. 

    "I think we've had a decent enough start in terms of performances. I'm a bit disappointed not to have got more points. I thought we could have got three today but sometimes you have to be grateful for a point."

    West Brom manager Tony Pulis: "To play Manchester City and Chelsea in our first two home games, it's been a tough start. For us to be sat with four points from four games is not bad. We're happy with that."

    On the potential purchase of Jonny Evans: "We're hopeful we'll get it over the line tonight or in the morning. We have to bring in some players and we're working hard on that. Jonny has got great pedigree, he would be a great signing for us."
