    That's your lot from the Premier League until Tuesday when we're back with a HUGE one.

    Liverpool will go two points clear at the top if they defeat Manchester United at Anfield.

    There's a big match going on right now if you fancy more football. Head over here for the FA Cup semi-final between Chelsea and Crystal Palace.

    I'm off to catch some early evening sunshine. Until next time...

    FT: Newcastle 2-1 Leicester

    Newcastle United

    Newcastle manager Eddie Howe to Sky Sports: "To score so late in the game is a massive lift for everybody.

    "I thought we had the best chances. Leicester were probably in control of the game but we had some really good moments and I thought our defensive resilience in the second half, as Leicester took control of the ball, was excellent. We hung in there, made it difficult for them to penetrate us, and got rewarded for that with the counter-attack goal at the end.

    "Yes, they love him (Bruno Guimaraes) and rightly so after today's performance. He was magnificent in every discipline of the game. I think the biggest compliment I could give him is that on 95 minutes, with tired legs, for sure, for him - he's getting used to the Premier League - but he's managed to get himself in the box to score that header."

    FT: West Ham 1-1 Burnley

    West Ham United

    West Ham boss David Moyes, speaking to MOTD: "When he [Ashley Westwood] went down he reacted right away as though something was wrong. I hope he is fine. You care for the people who get bad injuries.

    "We were playing quite well when the injury happened. A lack of concentration led to the goal but we had enough chances to win.

    "We kept at it and probably should have won.

    "The keeper made a couple of great saves but in truth we should have finished the game off. It's disappointing we didn't. If you are going to challenge and be near the top, you need to take your chances.

    "We had a great chance and we have not done well today. We have let that go."

    West Ham boss David Moyes said: "It is a game where we missed an opportunity. We had an opportunity to challenge the teams above us but we have missed it.

    "It was a terrible injury to Ashley Westwood, which derailed the speed of the game for a while. We lost concentration during that period, but that was our fault and nobody else's.

    "We were playing quite well and knocking on the door at that time but went on to concede the goal. We had a great chance to win the game with the amount of chances and we probably should have.

    "We have been doing OK up till now. We will keep ploughing on and keep picking up results. He [Nick Pope] had a couple of really good saves but hopefully we will score them in the next games."

    Speaking to BBC Sport, Burnley interim boss Mike Jackson said: "It wasn't nice to see and it had an effect on the lads. He [Westwood] has been taken to hospital and hopefully it is not as bad as expected but best wishes go to him. Straight away, you just knew. We just hope it is not too bad.

    "With what has happened in the past week, and today with Ash [Westwood], we could have got the three points but it's a good point for us on the road. I is something to build on."

    On Nick Pope's performance: "That is why he is in that England group. they are terrific saves but they are the standards he sets himself.

    "In a strange way, I did enjoy it, it has been manic. That is where I'm happiest on the grass. it is where I'm most comfortable."

    Burnley

    Burnley caretaker boss Mike Jackson: "I think it is a good point for us. We did really well in the first half and had the penalty miss. It's a terrific result and we had the incident with Ash as well which affected the group. We are just hoping he is ok.

    "He has gone to hospital and they are having a look at it. We know it doesn't look too good but we've got our fingers crossed.

    "Max had taken the penalty and missed it and we move on. He had another chance later on. These things happen.

    "It was an amazing save [from Nick Pope]. It's why he plays for England.

    "The reaction from the players has been good. They have really come together and rallied around each other."

    Burnley keeper Nick Pope on the serious injury to Ashley Westwood:

    "Myself and all the boys wish him the best. I obviously have no news on it as the game has only just finished.

    "Westy is a big part of how we play and a big character."

    On the sacking of Sean Dyche: "Normally you see rumours about these sorts of things. No one knew it was going on."

    Newcastle United

    Surely Newcastle are safe now?

    They have a 12-point safety cushion with six matches left.

    It's been an incredible turnaround.

    They were three points from safety in 19th spot after a 4-0 home defeat by Manchester City on 19 December.

    Great work by Eddie Howe.

    Burnley

    Speaking to BBC Sport, Burnley goalkeeper Nick Pope said: "It is a good point. It's never an easy place to come. The place was bouncing after their result in midweek. They are a top team so to come here and get a point, we have to be happy.

    "It is not always going to go your way. It is one of those things, we have to keep ourselves level headed.

    "Ashley [Westwood] has been brilliant for us so he has all of our best wishes. The lads are willing to fight for the shirt and everyone loves playing for this football club."

    If Burnley score the penalty, they win. It is between them and Everton in the relegation battle; Watford and Norwich look like they will be in the Championship next season.

    They probably lose in the end without Nick Pope. He was magnificent. Burnley know what a performance he produced.

    FT: Newcastle 2-1 Leicester

    Bruno Guimaraes' winner is timed at 94 minutes and 15 seconds.

    It is the latest winning goal for Newcastle in the Premier League since Opta have exact goal times (2006-07).

    Right. At. The. Death.

    It's the Bruno Guimaraes show as the Brazilian heads what surely must be the winner from close range after a brilliant run and cross.
