    A really good goal from Liverpool, a tap-in for Mohamed Salah.

    He tried to knock it in with his right-foot and he didn’t quite catch it, but luckily for him it didn’t go too far away.

    He never seems to be in the wrong position.

    GOAL - Liverpool 1-0 Brentfordpublished at 17:42 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    Mohamed Salah (12 mins)

    The first player in Liverpool history to score in nine successive games at Anfield. It's also Mohamed Salah's 100th goal here.

    Virgil van Dijk heads Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross to Salah in the six-yard area.

    He doesn't make clean contact initially but follows it up to bundle it into the roof of the net from close range.

    That puts him level with Steven Gerrard in Liverpool's all-time goalscoring list.

  7. 'We know what to do to keep momentum going'published at 17:42 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Man City 2-1 Leeds

    Manchester City

    Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I am glad, especially about scoring the first one, which can be vital in this kind of game. Leeds made it difficult for us, defended really well. But the way we approached the game from the start was really good. We created a lot of chances and the only negative was that we were not able to score a third."

    On the penalty: "First he showed to Erling that he was quite mad about that and then also he had a go at me. It is what it is at the end. The moment Erling grabbed the ball, I was sure he was going to take it but he looked out for me. I checked with him a few times to make sure he was sure. He was certain to hand the ball to me. I was confident to score. I can't even remember if the keeper saved it or it was the post? We should have scored a third. This is sometimes how it is that they go on the counter and score. Things can change, momentum can shift. But we dealt quite well with it and deserved the three points."

    On the title race: "Probably, the best warning is today. But we have an experienced team and have had these kind of run-ins in recent years. We know what to do to keep the momentum going and winning games. Nothing more but also nothing less."

    Brentford are dropping away when Liverpool have the ball.

    They’re happy for Liverpool to go side-to-side but they need to be wary of Trent Alexander-Arnold finding too much space in those areas because he really can find a pass.

    Aaron Hickey manages to protect the ball from Curtis Jones on the edge of his box and Ivan Toney gets back to help him out.

    Toney wins a free-kick but the Brentford captain is still jogging around a little gingerly. He's feeling the effects of that early challenge.

  11. 'My most important achievement'published at 17:40 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Wolves 1-0 Aston Villa

    Wolverhampton Wanderers

    Wolves boss Julen Lopetegui to BBC Match of the Day: "I hope [we are safe]. Of course this victory is about the merit of the players. We arrived here five months ago with 10 points after 16 matches at the bottom, four points from the team above.

    "We were in a very bad situation with bad belief and low morale. The players have worked very hard and we have suffered. In the last game against Brighton, it was tough for us but they showed quality again. We have played against the best team in the second half of the season and we deserved to win. We are happy for the players.

    "I have won the Europa League and played with Sevilla in the Champions League but, for me, this is the most important achievement. I want to highlight the club, the staff, the owners, the players and the fans. Without our fans all of this was impossible. They had a big disappointment in the last match against Brighton and today they showed their best."

    On the recovery from the Brighton defeat: "We tried to be honest with the players to tell them they are not this team. Maybe they can have a bad day but they are not this team. In football, you can win or lose but the most important thing is to say we put it all in the pitch. This is my only demand and they did it today."

    Andy Robertson curls a free-kick in from the left after Fabinho is brought down near the touchline.

  14. 'We lost to a moment of individual brilliance'published at 17:36 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace boss Roy Hodgson, speaking to Sky Sports: "I was more than satisfied with the way we played for much of the game and deserved a goal for our efforts. But we conceded just before half-time with a piece of individual brilliance from England’s captain and that was a very unfair reward for the way we had played in the first half.

    "In the second we had a lot of the ball and it was more of a question of Tottenham hanging on at times. But we couldn’t find those crucial moments and in the end we have to accept we lost 1-0 to a moment of brilliance."

  16. 'A penalty taker is a penalty taker'published at 17:35 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Man City 2-1 Leeds

    Manchester City

    Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We played an exceptional game. Our possession game was really good. First half was exceptional. We were maybe not as clinical as we should be. The second half, we cannot forget it is three games in six days with a lot of mental pressure. After Arsenal we were drained a bit and we kept going against Fulham and West Ham - tough opponents. At the end, the game could be over with the penalty. But they score and we have to suffer. But we played really, really good.

    "I would say it was a comfortable game for him [Ilkay Gundogan] because he was not pressed much. But Gundo... what can I say? He can do everything. As a holding or attacking midfielder, he is so intelligent. We are delighted to have him."

    On the penalty, and telling Erling Haaland he should take it: "The game is not over. It shows how nice and generous Erling is. If it is 4-0 with 10 minutes left, OK. But at 2-0? Erling is the best penalty taker right now so he has to take it.

    "Today Erling could have scored two or three goals. He played incredibly well, in his movement and everything... how he fought for us. I like to praise Erling when he does not score. If Gundo scores everyone is 'OK, hat-trick, well done'. But a taker is a taker. At 2-0, this is a business, not a situation where we cannot forget it."

  18. 'To respond like we did is a positive'published at 17:33 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace

    Tottenham Hotspur

    Tottenham interim boss Ryan Mason to Sky Sports: “I’m very happy, it was a difficult match. Palace are in a good moment, it’s a London derby so to come away with the three points and a clean sheet after the week we had is a positive.

    "We knew it was going to be difficult and it proved that. We played a good game. I’m happy. The clean sheet is important as we had time to work on it this week so to respond like they did is very pleasing.

    “We just tried to engage a bit higher up the pitch. It probably looked like the same team, but it wasn’t. We wanted to be a bit braver. We did that. There were some nerves in the last 5-10 minutes as we have not won for a few weeks but to get the win is a big positive.

    "We were very brave, aggressive and when their key players did get the ball it wasn’t in too many dangerous situations.

    “We always knew the first week [in interim charge] was difficult to influence anything from a tactical point of view as we didn’t have the time. But after a full week to respond like we did is a positive."

  19. 'Chelsea punished our errors'published at 17:33 British Summer Time 6 May 2023

    FT: Bournemouth 1-3 Chelsea

    Bournemouth

    Bournemouth manager Gary O'Neil, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "I'm not sure on the penalty. Thiago Silva doesn't get the ball, Dom [Solanke] takes his touch backwards and there is some contact but not one that was clear enough to complain about.

    "The second one especially [was a bad goal to give away] because I think we were on top in that spell in the second half.

    "Mati Vina gets one-on-one with Kepa and he makes a good save, Dango [Ouattara] smashes one at him from four or five yards then the header Dango would score nine times out of 10. That was a big chance to go in front and then who knows?

    "They showed a bit of quality in front of our goal, we had a slight slip and they managed to stick them away. When they made a mistake and gave us a chance, we weren't clinical enough to put them away today.

    "I didn't think we deserved to lose. I thought it was an even contest that could go either way. You know they have world-class player on the pitch so if they get their chance, they're going to take. They punished us twice for a couple of errors.

    "The lads have looked like a good side for the last few weeks and today I saw a lot that I liked but I don't like this feeling. The lads are aware that we're pretty much safe but we don't want to feel like this every week until the end of the season.

    "You can play well for 70-75 minutes but it is no good if you lose 3-1. We have to keep high standards. Let's not settle for 39 points."
