West Bromwich Albion

West Brom manager Tony Pulis to BBC Sport:

"We are pleased. It was a tough game, you have to ride your luck and work hard and we did that.

"I thought we were a threat as well. A great advert for Premier League football.

"Disappointed with both their goals but we kept going. 

"We were disappointed with one or two of our players because they got wound up and kept the crowd going,. You have to be sensible and you have to play with your head.

"I thought Yacob was lucky on the second one not to get sent off. We were a bit fortunate. One more and he would have gone.

"There is a couple of weeks to go. Saido Berahino's situation is up in the air. The chairman is running the club diligently, the finances are up to him."

Sunderland hat-trick hero Jermain Defoe: "On a personal note to score a hat-trick, especially such an important one is great."

Do you think your goals were offside? "You have to keep making the runs, if you're offside you're offside. You get in the position and see what happens after. 

"This is massive. The rest of the season now will be big. We have to recover and just keep doing what we are doing. We are delighted with the win because we needed it."

Leicester manager Claudio Ranieri: "We wanted to win but we knew it was a difficult match. Tottenham started very well and put us under pressure but we didn’t lose our confidence or shape and it was difficult for them.

"We created some good chances and in the second half it was an open match. We both had chances and we scored the goal. We have three clean sheets in a row. Unfortunately it’s January, not May. There’s so much work to do. We have to remain calm and believe in what we’re doing."

Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud speaking to BT Sport: "It is disappointing because we were 3-2 up. It was a nice game for the fans because a lot of intensity and chances to score.

"When you concede three goals in an away game it is hard to win. My first feeling is disappointment but we have shown some character to come back from 1-0 and 2-1 down.

"Hopefully, we are not going to have to regret this goal at the end of the championship. It is still a draw, they've done well at the end of the game and pushed a lot.

"It's a good performance but we could have done better."

Chelsea

Chelsea goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois talking to Premier League productions: "We are very disappointed. It was a tough game with them playing the long ball and, second ball, trying to provoke players."

Swansea City

Swansea City interim manager Alan Curtis: "All the major incidents in the game I think the referee got totally wrong. The first goal and third are clearly offside decisions. You can recover but when you play with 10 men for an hour, that's the one that killed us more than anything."

On Kyle Naughton's red card: "At the time I thought it was harsh. Looking at the video he wins the ball and it''s another one the referee gets totally wrong."

Liverpool

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen speaking to BT Sport: "It's nice to come on and have an influence on the game.

"We've got that attitude of going to the final whistle. We kept at it and thankfully we have come away with something.

"They have come here in great form. Everyone knows the threat they pose. I'm sure it was exciting for everybody to watch."

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini on Radio 5 live: "Maybe first half it was close, but we played well in the second half. I think we were the better team, Everton didn't create any chances, we had 17 shots but for different reasons we didn't score."

The top three are beginning to open up a bit of a gap on the chasing pack.

Are Leicester heading for the Champions League - at least?!

Former England defender on BBC Radio 5 live

Everton survived a late penalty shout after John Stones appeared to foul Raheem Sterling. Danny Mills isn't impressed.  

"You can see John Stones after the game laughing and joking. 

"He knows he's got away with that one."

There were 23 goals tonight, and my pick of the bunch was this one from Jonny Howson.

It counted for nothing but it was an absolute gem...

Mark Lawrenson
Ex-Liverpool defender at Anfield for BBC Radio 5 live

"Liverpool are doing the thing they did against West Brom - thanking the crowd for staying in the building. 

"Arsenal were the much better side in the second half, but if they are seriously going to go on and win the league, they should have taken all three points here."
