    Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BT Sport: "It was an even game, in a few actions we conceded two goals but if I consider the feeling I got after the game it was an even game.

    "They dominated, we dominated, I think they have one shot on target and they score - we had zero and its impossible to score. But we didn't deserve more than to lose."

    Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp speaking to Match of the Day: "It was just... the boys showed how much they enjoy the game and the situation!

    "It was an important sign. You know what was written and said about us. It is of course not right. These boys are outstanding and today they showed so much passion.

    "The game from Mo [Salah] was incredible. Sadio [Mane] scored a brilliant goal. All three midfielders were outstanding. Both centre-halves played outstanding.

    "We won 5-0 so you don't talk about them but they had their moments. Even Alisson was great. the boys who came on controlled the game. A lot to talk about.

    On Trent Alexander-Arnold: "All the crosses were outstanding. So it's just a special night. He scored a fantastic free-kick the last time against Watford. I can't remember the last time he got a hat-trick of assists. He got three right?

    "We want to use our power and our skills but there are different games to play. Watford changed for us too. You always prepare for a match differently. We used that half space well. Mo Salah was pretty much unplayable.

    "It is just a really good night for us and the boys deserve all the credit."

    Arsenal boss Unai Emery, speaking to BBC: "We work like we did in the last matches with intensity. After 2-0 their goal can give us a problem but I think we show maturity in this moment by continuing to push. Today with our supporters here, we had a good atmosphere.

    "It is important these three matches we play here. In a short time, we keep the performance with different players. We play with intensity. It is good for the team and for this moment. Some players today can rest, with the derby on Saturday.

    On Mesut Ozil: "I think he is happier with us. I am now also very proud of our players. He helped us with his quality.

    On Laurent Koscielny: "He got a kick and has a little pain but I think he’ll be OK."

    Watford manager Javi Gracia speaking to Match of the Day: "We knew before the game they play really well. It was difficult for us. We have had good performances lately but today they were much better and deserved their victory.

    "They opened the game very early and afterwards they dominated. We had a few chances in the second half to score and we didn't take them. Maybe one would have changed the game but it wasn't possible to have options.

    "It was our target to try to win the game. It was not possible for us to get the points so we have to focus on the next game.

    "We scored five goals then today we conceded five goals. In this moment I think it's important to be calm and keep the confidence in ourselves. We need to keep playing at the level we have been."

    Manchester United midfielder/defender Ashley Young: "Parts of the game were tough, there was space out there to play and we made it difficult for ourselves. I hold my hands up for their goal, I should have cleared it but I made up for it with a goal.

    "We have injuries, they haven't helped but we have a fantastic squad. Everyone has to be ready and we were today. That's eight away wins in a row and let's keep ticking them off.

    "We want to keep winning games and keep the confidence coming."

    Southampton

    Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl speaking to Match of the Day: "It was a very important win for the whole club. We are out of the relegation zone now but it was only the first step and it was an important one against an opponent that never gave up. It was a professional performance and we switched the speed at the right moment which is why we scored.

    "It's the first clean sheet in a long time and we showed we can play without mistakes. We had more experience on the pitch today. We knew that it was a very important game because we play against Man United and Tottenham next, so maybe today was the easiest game to take three points."

    Luka Milivojevic swings a dangerous ball into the box and Christian Benteke gets something on it. David de Gea reaches down low and manages to keep the ball out just on the line.

    He's only got one hand on it as he's bundled over and the ball rolls into the net but a free-kick is blown. Not sure what that was for?
