  1. 'Most difficult time of my career'published at 20:18 British Summer Time 24 June 2020

    FT: Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth's Adam Smith speaking to PLP: "We should have stopped the quick free-kick and it's difficult with Adama Traore but I should have stopped it. Overall, it's disappointing to concede that goal. We have to keep going, we are in a difficult period. It's a hard one to take.

    "We frustrated them in the first half and I think they tried to combine a little more on the right side tactically. I felt we weren't as aggressive as we were in the first half and maybe that was due to fatigue. They were slightly better in the second half.

    "It's the most difficult time of my career. In the losing streak, it's difficult to get that momemtum. We just need that bit of luck. Once you're down there, it's so difficult. We just have to keep going. It's a must-win game next, I know we keep saying that, but games are running out and it's tight down there."

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Jurgen Klopp is one manager who looks no different post lockdown. Hasn't affected him one bit. He'll be the first German manager to win the Premier League in a matter of days, won't he?

    Everton

    Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti: "We had good opportunities to close the game out on the counter but we were in good shape.

    Liverpool 0-0 Crystal Palace

    Liverpool lost last time out at home of course, against Atletico Madrid. Some early niggle as Andrew Robertson and James McCarthy go hell for leather into a tackle, neither man pulling out. McCarthy not too plussed.

  7. 'A great shift'published at 20:14 British Summer Time 24 June 2020

    Norwich 0-1 Everton

    Everton

    Everton defender Michael Keane tells BBC Sport: "Delighted, the lads have worked hard since we got back and put in a great shift against Liverpool. It is a tough ask on the legs to come a long way three days later and we got what we deserved.

    "We changed formation at half-time and it enabled a midfielder to get more on the ball. We are attacking constantly at the start of the second half.

    "We are four points off seventh and it is definitely in our grasp and we have seven games remaining. We need to keep getting wins and see where it takes us."

    Sorry, was getting a drink in. The players are out at Anfield, with huge flags and banners covering the seats. YNWA rings out as normal - a touch quieter around Stanley Park though.

    Wolves are just two points behind Chelsea in fourth. Champions League at the Molineux?

  10. 'First half was poor football'published at 20:08 British Summer Time 24 June 2020

    FT: Wolves 1-0 Bournemouth

    Wolves

    Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo speaking to BT Sport: "The first half, for both teams it was tough and both teams were not able to play. Defensive organisation was very tight and the space was not there.

    "It was a poor first half in terms of football but in the second half we managed to create a couple of changes. I think we deserved to win. The boys worked very hard and another clean sheet is important for us.

    "It's about building and creating solutions going forward. Now we have to rest and on Saturday we have such a tough game so now we have to prepare."

  13. 'Villa will be frustrated with the result'published at 20:01 British Summer Time 24 June 2020

    It could have been three points for Aston Villa, quite easily. They were excellent first half and missed some big chances but they lost their way a bit second half. In terms of their attitude and the way they went about the game they'll be delighted but they'll be frustrated with the result.

  14. 'Calvert-Lewin a proper centre-forward'published at 20:00 British Summer Time 24 June 2020

    I think Dominic Calvert-Lewin is looking like a proper centre-forward now; he's really owning that position. I was impressed with him and I wish he was leading the line for Norwich in the way that he played today.
