Swansea City

Swansea manager Bob Bradley:

"That game had many different parts. We started poorly. Defensively the first two goals were not handled well but we gave ourselves a real chance. 

"At 3-1 the quality of football came up again. I am obviously a little disappointed but I feel there were some positives that can be taken from the performance.  

"Of course we are confident we can turn this around - after the week of training we have just had and the mentality of the team, for me we are going to become a good team. 

"There is a lot there and the response of the players has been good".

Under way in the late Prem game too - follow that game in full here. 

Former Birmingham manager Steve Bruce appeared to get a decent reception as he stepped out at Villa Park for the first time.

Arsenal

Arsenal managerArsene Wenger: "I have some mixed feelings because it looked at some points comfortable and then it never was. 

"We could never capitalise on the two-goal cushion but at least we got the three points.

"I would say when we went two goals ahead, we lost our focus, and when you are playing a team who are down the bottom and trying to stay in the Premier League, you cant do that. 

"Theo Walcott had a difficult time with England but it may have been a lack of confidence as he has been out of the side for a while but not with Arsenal. 

"We finished with good solidarity and we made it over the line.

"We have the same number of points as Manchester City so if you look at their game today, it's interesting but you have to be intelligent enough to see it over a longer distance". 

Sunderland

Sunderland manager David Moyes: "We did some good things but conceded a terrible goal for the first. We played better than we had done in recent games but we had to make sure we got to half-time at 1-0 down.

"We stuck at it in the second half, we tried but it wasn't to be.

"We need to get better in all areas. But what I've seen in training recently tells me we're getting there, especially with our work on the ball. 

"It was an inexperienced team out there but we're trying to get them better, we're working on them.

"When you've got supporters like Sunderland you're always going to be there and be successful and they were outstanding again today."

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We did absolutely everything. Everton create just one chance which was a goal. I'm a little bit sad and disappointed for the players. But it's a big compliment to Everton and Ronald Koeman so I say to them 'well done'.

"The players have all the qualities to score penalties but we miss a lot. Hopefully we will score more of them in future.  

"It won't be the first time or the last time we have a game like this."

Steve: Four of Man City's wins have come against bottom four teams. Are they just flat track bullies?

Swansea City

Swansea midfielderGylfi Sigurdsson:

"I am a little bit disappointed, but it was certainly an exciting football game. 

"We didn't give up and could have nicked something at the end but it wasn't to be. 

"The new manager wanted us to play on the front foot and I think we did that but we gave them too much respect. 

"After the first goal, we started to play better and we had a lot of chances and could have taken something but overall I think it was a fair result. 

"The boys really like the new boss and our training sessions are very tough. I'm not worried about my fitness. I'm fit! We will get fitter if we aren't fit enough". 

Just 10 minutes until kick off in the late game on this busy return to Premier League football.

Everton

Everton manager Ronald Koeman: "I am satisfied with a point because not many teams leave this stadium with a point. You need to be a little bit lucky and a goalkeeper to have the match of his life, and you need a workrate from your team. 

"A big compliment to the team because we fight. They were the better team, had the chances, missed two penalties but it's final score 1-1. I said yesterday to the rest of the staff that we need to be prepared for three defenders from Pep. We took a risk to start with three forward players. That is why we changed after 20 minutes to deal with that. If they miss penalties it's the problem of City! We know we are difficult to beat. It's the best team football wise we have faced this season.

"I think Romelu Lukaku is one of the most feared in Europe. He doesn't need a lot of chances to score. He worked hard today and it's important for the team."

Manchester City

Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola: "We did everything and I am so proud of that team. We played amazing. We created chances, had two penalties. They had one chance. In football it is like this. Big compliment to Everton about the way they defend and their performance 

"I am sad for the players because they deserve to win the game. We have to keep our heads up because from the beginning of the season we have done so well. Football is football. This happens sometimes."

No doubting who the hero was for Everton today...

Goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg saved two penalties. 

Stoke's first win of the season is a major tonic, with West Ham looking for a win in the late game. Sunderland continue to look up at everyone...

Arsenal forward Theo Walcott: "It was a crazy game.

"On a personal note, I would have liked to have had the hat-trick but the three points is all that matters. I think I could have scored three or four today but the win is all that matters. 

"That is a tough Swansea side - people definitely underestimate them. They caused us problems out there today. 

"It's always hard after the international break for everyone to get back into rhythm but I would rather have had a scruffy game and win so that's all that matters. 

"The belief has always been there in the dressing room. We have got players who have come in and have settled in well and we need to build in it. We are grinding out results when called upon and that was definitely a grind today". 

Everton goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg: "When you go 1-0 up you hope you can get the three points but I think you have to thankful for a point. It's not only guesswork for the penalties, you do the analysis as well. Will Phil Jagielka buy me dinner after that? I will ask him!

Phil Jagielka gave away two penalties which were both saved by Stekelenburg.

Late goals all round as it tightens up at the top. Liverpool could go top with a big win against Manchester United on Monday night.

After a positive start that ultimately earned Mike Phelan the manager's job, Hull have gone to pieces in the last month. Five straight defeats now, 19 goals conceded. Their slide down the table continues.

James Tomkins has made the difference to Crystal Palace after joining from West Ham. He has shored up the defence. His positional play is really good and his movement is perfect. Watch how many times he looks over his shoulder to keep an eye on the attacker during a game. It's good communication helping out his partner, and he's a patient and composed defender. He talks very well and the big thing is he defends first. He's been a great signing for Palace.
