    Good luck if you're at the Amex and you've not brought your big coat. Some solid hood action going on.

  4. 'It's happened too many times'published at 17:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Everton

    Manchester United

    Man Utd manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tells Match of the Day: "We didn't win it so we didn't do enough to win it. We should have done better and it's a disappointing goal to concede. It's happened too many times when we're on the attack and we're still well organised enough behind it we just don't deal with the situation well enough."

    On Martial's goal: "Anthony scored a good goal. Unfortunately he got a knock and was injured. Very pleased with him and his performance."

    On Ronaldo not starting: "Me and him we understand more than the experts for example. It's about picking the right moments to play him, to not play him. He's not a young puppy anymore but he's as professional as ever and ready to come on and he came on today with energy and attitude."

    On if he can turn performances into wins: "We can't say we deserve more points because when you don't score goals you don't. We have to get used to teams dropping off more. Today we dominated but similar to Villarreal we're too open on the break and we need to sort that out."

  5. 'A mark of respect to an idol of fooball'published at 17:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Man Utd 1-1 Everton

    Everton

    Andros Townsend on his celebration to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Not imitating, just a mark of respect to a guy who influenced my career.

    "I have spent many hours on the training pitch, in the video room; trying to recreate his free kicks, his step overs.

    "It was a mark of respect to one of my idols. Probably didn't execute the celebration properly, did do it justice but it was a mark of respect to one of the all-time idols of football."

  7. 'We all know the drill'published at 17:21 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Wolves 2-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle boss Steve Bruce, speaking to BBC MOTD: "We got back into the game. After we scored, we had the big chance in the second half and unfortunately didn't take it.

    "We are all pleased Raul Jimenez is back but the second goal was a bit too easy for my liking.

    "l feel like a long playing record at the minute.

    "Whoever you are in the Premier League, if you haven't won in seven games we all know the drill. We all know what comes.

    "It's not easy. It still disappoints you and upsets you. I look at myself straight away. Can we do better? We'll keep looking at it and working on it."

  8. Lawro's predictionpublished at 17:20 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Brighton v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    Mark Lawrenson
    BBC football expert

    Brighton missed the chance to go top of the table on Monday but the way they snatched a point right at the end of their game against Crystal Palace will still give them a big lift. The Seagulls have made a really impressive start to the season, but Arsenal are on a bit of a roll at the moment. That run won't last for too long - not a lot has changed about the Gunners, really, because I still think they will go on streaks of good or bad results just like last season - but they will be smiling on Saturday evening anyway.

    Prediction: 0-2

  9. 'Disallowed goal would have papered over cracks'published at 17:16 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Leeds 1-0 Watford

    Watford

    Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster: "I thought if we would have [equalised] it would have been papering over the cracks. We were very poor today. We didn't have a shot on target so can't expect to come away with anything.They were very sharp and worked their socks off but if you allow them to do that it's going to be a long day. If that goal had been given it would have been very unjust to the overall picture.

    "I think we're a better team than what we are showing. We were very poor today - miles away from it. We haven't had a shot on target and didn't lay a glove on them.

    "We picked up a few niggles today so we need to assess it on Monday but the international break sometimes can be a blessing in disguise to refresh your mind."

  10. 'Relief at Elland Road'published at 17:14 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Leeds 1-0 Watford

    Vicki Sparks
    Final Score reporter at Elland Road

    Relief all around at Elland Road as Leeds secure a deserved - but unnecessarily nervy - first Premier League win of the season, thanks to Diego Llorente's smart close-range finish.

    No-one will be more relieved than Ilan Meslier - his howler looked to have given Watford an unlikely leveller when he dropped the ball from a corner, but Kabasele was deemed to have fouled Cooper, and the goal was chalked off.

    Had Watford salvaged a point, it would have been the definition of smash and grab: they were worryingly lacklustre.

  11. 'Back-to-back wins is huge'published at 17:12 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Wolves 2-1 Newcastle

    Wolves

    Wolves captain Conor Coady, speaking to MOTD: "It's all about learning and getting better. That's what we're doing and it's even better when we're doing it with wins.

    "To see them [Hwang Hee-chan and Raul Jimenez] linking up well in games is fantastic to see. They are fantastic people.

    "Back-to-back wins in the Premier League is huge."

  12. 'We should have scored more'published at 17:10 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Leeds 1-0 Watford

    Leeds United

    Leeds boss Marcelo Bielsa: "We defended well and the result even though it was only a one-goal difference was never in danger.

    "We should have scored more goals because we had a lot of chances - at least 10 - in the second half, perhaps a little bit less, but I thought it was a fair result. The difference could have been bigger.

    "[Diego Llorente] had a performance without any errors with a lot of good things while defending and distributing the ball.

    "Jamie Shackleton had a good performance. We didn't make errors in our own half, we didn't allow counter-attacks and even if we lacked efficiency, we had patience to see how we could generate chances at goal."

  13. Postpublished at 17:09 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    We started today with five teams without a win in the Premier League. Now we have four thanks to Leeds' win over Watford.

    It's gonna be an almighty tussle at the bottom this season, isn't it?

    No such worries for either of the sides currently getting soaked through at the Amex. Brighton will join Chelsea at the top on 16 points with a win here. Arsenal can claim a fourth victory on the spin to move firmly into the top half.

  14. 'We are all hurting'published at 17:05 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Wolves 2-1 Newcastle

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle's Jeff Hendrick: "I thought we worked hard. To come away without a point is tough to take.

    "It's nice from a personal point of view to get a goal. The only big thing is we have got quite a bit of time before the next game. It's still early in the season. Of course he [Steve Bruce] is hurting. We are all hurting.

    "It is a cruel league. We have to stick together."

    Brighton v Arsenal (17:30 BST)

    I tell you what, if you thought it was raining elsewhere today, you should see it at the Amex. It is absolutely lashing it down.

    Nothing like a wild rain storm to liven a game up.

    We'll continuie to bring you all the reaction as we get it to those 3pm games. And there's also another whole game of Premier League football to come, live from Brighton. Get in.

  17. 'I didn't think, I just kicked'published at 17:01 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Leeds 1-0 Watford

    Leeds United

    Leeds match-winner Diego Llorente: "It was a good feeling. I think the team deserve this win. We didn't have much luck so the team had to give everything.

    "I try to give good passes from the back to my partners so in the attack I try to score goals. I am happy to help the team."

    On his goal: "I found the ball near me and I didn't think, I just kicked it and have luck. I think in the second half we can score more goals but what is important is the opportunities. We are happy with the result and we keep improving.

    "This match was a win but the season is long so we have to continue and keep going."

  18. Postpublished at 17:00 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    FT: Chelsea 3-1 Southampton

    Southampton remain without a win in the league. They have failed to win in their last nine Premier League matches.

  19. 'Enjoyable game'published at 16:56 British Summer Time 2 October 2021

    Pat Nevin

    It was a really enjoyable game. I have to applaud Southampton and the way they went about it, the second half they started really well and deserved to be level.

    However, they will get nothing out of it.
