Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs boss Mauricio Pochettino: “I think it was a game we dominated. I think the most important is the three points, to be close to the top four.

“In some parts the team play well, which is hard against a team playing for survival."

On Christian Eriksen: “He was very close to a hat-trick. It was a very good performance for him, he played very very well."

On Eric Dier: “I know there are a lot of rumours, but he’s 100% our player. He’s very important for us, he signed a contract after the Euros and showed his commitment to the club. There’s no doubt his future is at White Hart Lane.”

Southampton

Southampton manager Claude Puel: "We're disappointed. Eleven against 10 you have to do better. In the first half we were too nervous, in the second half we were better and created a few possibilities but it was not enough. 

"There were good crosses and good combinations but our play was too slow and not effective in the final third. It was two points lost and it's a shame." 

On Arnautovic's red card: "I think it's a important foul, it was very dangerous, he does not play the ball."  

Hull City

Hull boss Mike Phelan: “We came here with a fabulous attitude. They’ve come here and played the ball, controlled it, restricted their attempts, but at a certain time in the game we were more than value for money.

“I thought they did very well but we’re on the end of a 3-0 defeat - but we have to stay positive.

"Every game is key, it’s all on the next game and we can only look forward. I’m staying positive for these players and hopefully we can add to the group in January.

"If we can keep creating opportunities and doing the right things, I’m hoping we can turn positive performance into results.

"We’re looking at improving the group. We definitely need to be adding that extra to give the club and supporters and players a lift."

Adam Lallana made one and scored two against Middlesbrough tonight - here's his reaction.

"Solid team performance already looking forward to Monday night."

The Daily Mirror think Marcos Rojo was lucky not to be sent for a rash challenge on Wilfried Zaha. The Manchester United defender was booked.

Here's West Brom's Salomon Rondon with his match ball after a hat-trick of headers against Swansea...

Stoke City

Stoke manager Mark Hughes, on Marko Arnautovic's red card: "It's unfortunate because he obviously caught him high on the thigh but the ball was bouncing around and it wasn't a violent movement to take the player out. 

"I feel that common sense should have prevailed, but officials come here and for some reason seem to think that giving out cards early to Stoke players seems to be the norm. 

"The ref wasn't great on the night, he missed a number of decisions and clearly missed an elbow from Shane Long on Bruno Martins Indi - that needs looking at again. 

"Overall the ref put us in a situation and we had to show real work ethic and understanding of what was required. Given the circumstances, the point we gained was magnificent." 

Match of the Day

Photographs of Cesc Fabregas dominate Thursday's back pages. His goal was crucial as Chelsea picked up a 10th Premier League win in a row. 

West Brom boss Tony Pulis on Match of the Day: "We played 24 hours later than Swansea did and, in the first half, we looked laboured.

"I'm pleased for the group, I thought in the first 20 minutes of the second half - that's where the game was won and we played like we can pay. 

"We said a few things (at half-time) and sometimes you have to say a few things. It was more to do with the fact we had to step up. 

"The main players in the team stepped it up, and that was the important for us. Three fantastic headers. We're pleased for him and the group. We really had to dig deep and oil the engine. 

"We move on. We've got an unbelievable hard game against Man Utd."

Burnley

Burnley boss Sean Dyche: "The reality of the Premier League is that it’s tough. We took the game on in the second half. 

"We have to bring the mentality of our home displays to away games. We didn't take responsibility of a game that could have gone our way. We didn’t come into the game until the second half."

Only Derby in 2007-08 have scored fewer away goals in their first seven Premier League away games of a season than Burnley this season (1).

Jay: Arsenal are surreptitiously sneaking towards their favoured 4th spot

Oli: One of the worst refereeing performances ever seen, Palace hard done by but United edged it in terms of quality

Tom Castle: MUFC fans crying about the 2nd half decisions while ignoring the errors that awarded them their goal. Mourinho a perfect fit.  

Cesc Fabregas has never been on the losing side when he’s scored in a Premier League game - in 40 games.

That's the third highest run in the competition behind Darius Vassell, 46 and James Milner, 45.

West Ham United

West Ham manager Slaven Bilic talking to BBC Sport: "It was a very important game for us. It was a very long game – the longest game we’ve been involved in. 

"Well done to the players, we showed the character. I think we deserved it. We dominated the first half. We had shots that hit the post. We had two penalty appeals. We should have been ahead by more than one goal looking at the quantities of chances."

On striker  Andy Carroll, who made his first start since August:

"It’s no secret I'm a big fan of him. I'm not a big fan 'cos he’s a cousin or relative. It’s what I see on the training pitch. He is a miracle. What he gives to the team is massive."

Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola: "We won, we had a good performance. All the team worked hard and it is good to get a clean sheet and all our defenders did well against tough, tough strikers.

"The game is always open here in England, Watford have impressed me. They have amazing strikers, strong and physical, but my players played with the spirit."

On Claudio Bravo: "It is not easy to come to a new club and a new country. I know what people say about him but he has good experience. When moments arrive he has to be brave. today he was excellent."

On Pablo Zabaleta: "We need his spirit, he is part of this history and played well with and without the ball. On the pitch and in the dressing room he is important for us."
