    Everton 0-1 Burnley

    Burnley

    Burnley manager Sean Dyche speaking to Match of the Day: “It was really hard fought. There was a good mixture today. It was a fantastic goal with a lot of passes - the ball from Robbie Brady was fantastic vision – and then real earthy, nitty-gritty defending.

    “The second half got trickier and we broke on two or three occasions but never found the final pass. The first half was really good performance of mixed football.

    "I don’t think Pope (goalkeeper Nick Pope) has had anything major to do. The defensive unit work very hard. I believe in it and they believe in the work they do."

    Asked about their improve away form, Dyche said: “Some of it is down to organisation and some learning about the Premier League. The mentality of the players and growth of players is a massive thing, to go to stadiums and be more assured.

    "A lot of things are coming together. Last year the margins were really tight and now we are getting on the right side of those margins."

    Everton 0-1 Burnley

    Everton

    Everton manager Ronald Koeman speaking to Match of the Day: "I can't complain about my players. We showed the right attitude and commitment that we need to play with. We had big chances in the beginning then the game would be totally different.

    "You know when you go down against Burnley it is tough. They drop back and are good defensively, organisationally and physically strong. We needed to be at our best to create and we didn't create a lot.

    "I can't complain about the reactions of fans. Everyone is disappointed about the result I don't think they can be disappointed about the commitment.

    Asked about pressure on him as manager, he said: "If you don't like it go home. I like the team and my players. The solution starts by the commitment of the players and we need to improve and have a bit of luck."

    A bit of reaction from the earlier game, in which Burnley beat Everton 1-0 at Goodison Park.

    The pressure is mounting on Toffees boss Ronald Koeman...

    It was a very good half. You can tell by the applause from the Newcastle fans that they are content.

    Newcastle went behind to a brilliant goal but showed good character. They will get chances and it is whether they will take them.

    They got some luck but there was a huge space between the centre-backs that Jonjo Shelvey was able to play the pass in.

    Jurgen Klopp will be very, very frustrated.

    Newcastle 1-1 Liverpool

    The 4-4-2 of Newcastle are sat deep in their own half.

    Liverpool are hogging the ball, but are not going anywhere at the moment.

    To be fair, the home side have been excellent in this first half but were beaten by a Philippe Coutinho worldie.

    Liverpool shifting the ball quickly again, but Newcastle are well organised at the back.

    Reds goalscorer Philippe Coutinho is allowed to shoot again from outside the area, but this time his shot ends up in the Gallowgate.

    Waheeey.

    Such an entertaining game, as you would expect in this fixture.

    Liverpool earn a free-kick down the left which is dinked into the box by Mohamed Salah, but Newcastle do really well to clear with Dejan Lovren coming close to heading in.

    There was gaping hole between the Liverpool centre-halves. I thought Joselu had taken a touch too many but Joel Matip kicks it on to the shin Joselu.

    It was terrible defending from Liverpool.

    They gave Shelvey far too much space and there was far too much space between Matip and Lovren.

    Joselu

    Ugly, ugly goal, but Newcastle will not care.

    Jonjo Shelvey plays a sublime pass, splitting Dejan Lovren and Joel Matip, and it sends Joselu through one-on-one with Simon Mignolet.

    The Spaniard dawdles on the ball, he does not look like scoring at all, but is helped out by Matip, whose sliding challenge clips the ball onto the shin of the former Stoke striker and the ball rolls into the bottom corner.

    Suspect Liverpool defending again.

    A goal behind and now they have to deal with Mohamed Salah's pace.

    The Egyptian is giving Ciaran Clark a torrid afternoon, but this time cannot get a strike away.

    That is one hell of a strike. You can't give a guy of that quality that much space 25 yards out. What an unbelievable strike from Philippe Coutinho.

    Benitez is off his seat asking why he was given that amount of time and space.

    If there is one player you don't give it to, it is Coutinho.
