A very poor touch by Joao Moutinho sees a Wolves attack break down and West Ham gain possession.

I think West Ham are the only people to love bubbles as much as my three-year-old son.

The second half begins.

Diego Costa, in a full Wolves tracksuit, has been training for the whole half-time break. Will we see him today?

He hasn't played a competitive game of football in 2022.

Wolves have controlled the possession, we've seen long-range shots from them. West Ham have finally found a way, progressing into the game. They're passing much much quicker and Jarrod Bowen has been the spark for the Hammers down the right hand side as he comes inside.

Gianluca Scamacca wants to be that number nine for this football club, it's wonderful strike and we've seen what it meant to him and all of these supporters to lift a bit of pressure off of David Moyes.

Southampton

Southampton boss Ralph Hasenhuttl to BBC Match of the Day: “In the first half both teams did not play well but we started the second half quite well, we had some big moments, then we scored the goal but you cannot concede the equaliser in the next situation immediately. That gives the opponent a push.

“We had the chance to score the second goal but we didn’t and then on the counter attack we concede. Even then you could see that this young team tries to push back, to fight and to create and we had big moments, but the ball didn’t find the back of the net and then you lose such a game and the Premier League is tough.

“We never stopped playing or trying and we had some good ideas to create things, the effort was there – but the effort alone is not enough, you need to have the quality to score in the right moments otherwise it’s always tough to win a game."

Newcastle United

Newcastle's Sean Longstaff speaking to Sky Sports: "The sending off made it easier but it can be just as tricky against 10 men. You need to take full advantage of it and we have done that with a really good team performance.

"[Miguel Almiron's first goal] is unbelievable. He has got that quality on that left foot and the pass from Bruno [Guimarães] is the reason he is going to a World Cup with Brazil. He is a top player and we are lucky to have him."

On Nathaniel Chalobah's foul on him that earned a red card: "It's a contact sport. These things are going to happen when the game is moving so fast.

"I don't want to see anyone get sent off because you know how you would feel if it happened to you, but that is what the referee decided.

"I was all right - and the main thing was to take advantage. We were lucky to do that. So it was a great day for us and hopefully we can kick on from it."

Newcastle United

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe: "Callum Wilson is a goal scorer - that instinct in him is razor sharp.

"But he has only just come back and I am pleased I was ale to protect him and Bruno Guimaraes.

"They have not done a huge amount of training so it was nice to be able to protect them [by bringing them off]."

On Miguel Almiron's performance: "Mickey epitomises our team. He has been excellent but not had the goals to match his performances. Today he got the two and played really well."

On having competition for places: "I have had the other problem, which is not enough players, so it is good that our squad is looking very strong, with competition in every position.

"The lads are disappointed not to get the clean sheet, but this is not the day to pick holes, it is a day to be happy and see the fans celebrate. A big thank you to them."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Patrick Vieira: "We knew it's a difficult team to play against. In the midfield they were really good but we are quite disappointed. We managed to score the first goal and conceded just before half-time.

"It was not the best period but in the second half we had some very good situations and I think the draw would've been good for both sides.

"You look at the squad they have and any player comes on will make their level high. It is a quality team we are facing but we deserved at a least a point.

"We just have to take it on the chin and get back for the next game."

On whether Chelsea's Thiago Silva should have been sent off, Vieira added: "He was very lucky, but this is the referee's decision, VAR's decision, it's quite difficult to understand it and to accept it. I think it's unbelievable how he managed to stay on the field."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Roberto de Zerbi to BBC Sport: "It was a very difficult match but I'm happy for my players and my club. We played a fantastic game. We had the possibility to score more but Liverpool is always a very amazing team.

"There was the possibility to win but I don't know. With my players in the future, I can give more instruction in the game.

"I asked them to play the game brave and show that when I made the substitutions to move into that.

"In the moment I'm just thinking about what happens a couple of months ago and where I was in February. I was sure today we could play a very good game. I am very proud of being the head coach of Brighton. But my thoughts still go to Shakhtar Donetsk, my former club and all of the Ukrainian people."

Everton

Everton boss Frank Lampard to BBC Match of the Day: "Their goal came from a mistake from us. I thought we had control of the game in the first half and we just needed to do more, the extra 20 per cent to go and win the game, that’s what I felt.

"I don’t think either team were at their best but their goal kickstarted us – it was a quick reaction, a good reaction and we get our two goals. Then we have a period where we need to score again when we are on top and we didn’t but we dug in at the end.

"I’m really pleased – three points on the road in the Premier League is not easy, we all know that, so it was a good effort. Goals from set-pieces are so crucial – Amadou gets a good contact back across the goal and Conor connects really well. Then obviously Dwight’s goal was a fantastic finish from a tight angle.

"We showed great spirit – we’ve perhaps deserved more earlier in the season and didn’t get it, but today we dug in and got what we have deserved over time.

"The minute we rest is our downfall - it's important we realise there is a long way for us to go. We can get much better than how we played today. There are glimpses, there were big glimpses against West Ham in our last game. There's a nice competitive feel to the squad but we need to stay on it."

Brentford

Brentford manager Thomas Frank: "Even game. Overall, not too many chances. We had a good free header for Pontus Jansson and a few occasions for Ivan [Toney]. But the reason why we didn't win was because of the lack quality in the final finish or in the final pass or run.

"The clean sheet is good and we haven't had that on the road for a long time which is good."

On the VAR decision: "He is a young ref who has done a very good job. He is called to the screen and we know nine times out of 10 it is going to be a penalty but he overturned that so he is a strong character."

On Jansson's injury: "It looked like a hamstring so we will look at that tomorrow and Monday and have a more clear picture for how long he will be out. I doubt he will be ready for Newcastle but let's see."

Liverpool

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp: "Bad start from us. Very good start from Brighton, who were full of confidence. It looks like it goes in one direction then we find a way back into the game. We were getting closer to what we wanted to do. We put them under pressure, not with free-flowing football, but we have to admit Brighton had a lot of chances and it was a deserved point for them. I'd love to talk now after winning 3-2 but we have to work harder and be more consistent to get three points.

"I haven't got the perfect explanation otherwise we wouldn't have the problem, which is obvious. We didn't expect the formation to be honest. But of course usually you can get through it.

"The way they played is really settled. You need a moment to adapt but we were already 1-0. 2-0, bam, we were still not there. Then we got a foot in the game. We could have won. Should we have won? I'm not 100% sure.

"Directly after the game it is a massive knock. Now, slowly but surely, we feel that is just the situation and we will get through. We got a point and not what we wanted.

"We are a dominant team and want to have the ball so when you give these goals away I know it is a problem. We have to find the solutions. We have to keep going. It is nothing in our DNA. It just happens and now it happens more often. This is a period where we struggle. We have to fight through this situation. We cannot fight anymore today though we just have to admit."

The half-time whistle goes. West Ham lead thanks to their fourth Premier League goal of the season.

Jarrod Bowen whips a corner into the back post. It's one of those positions where Erling Haaland would score a ridiculous kung-fu kick volley thing... but Craig Dawson is not Haaland and he can't get his foot high enough.

West Ham's Jarrod Bowen takes a crossfield ball in his stride and charges into the box before having a shot blocked.

A lovely spin by Wolves' Daniel Podence to lose Declan Rice 30 yards out and he hammers a shot in, which is straight at Lukasz Fabianski.

Four minutes added on.

Now at the other end it's Jarrod Bowen who can't find anyone with a ball across goal from Lucas Paqueta's pass forward. Jonny clears.

The ball drops for Wolves full-back Rayan Ait-Nouri in the box and he plays it across goal but nobody is there. He may as well have had a go.
