  2. 'To have a strong team, you need a strong bench'published at 18:27 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    FT: Crystal Palace 0-0 Fulham

    Crystal Palace

    Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "We all understand now that to have a really strong team you need a really strong bench where the people there are, in many people's eyes, as good as those that are starting.

    "We will be in that position, but first we have to recover four players and four players in a squad that is not 30-players strong is a lot to be missing. The starting XI was good and more than capable of winning it but we lack a bit of what they had in the last 20 minutes, bringing players on."

    On Eberechi Eze's second-half penalty appeal: "I thought the referee judged the incidents in and around the penalty area well. I must be one of those rare people where after you get given a soft penalty and people say afterwards 'that wasn't a penalty' - as happened to us last week - I think if I make a fuss about that one day that might come back to haunt me.

    "To some extent, what comes around goes around. I prefer to win games not on soft penalties and ludicrous handball decisions."

  3. 'Luton will be feeling disappointed'published at 18:25 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Luton will definitely be left feeling very disappointed this evening.

    That opening 45 minutes, the chances they created, Wolves were put on the back foot and were forced to defend a lot of crosses.

    They came back into the game after going down unexpectedly at the start of the second half.

    They will take the point though, because it looked like they may have ended up with nothing.

  4. 'It was done too easy'published at 18:24 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    FT: Man City 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest boss Steve Cooper: "We know who we're playing and the level that they play at and it's really difficult to prepare for and to obviously go and play.

    "You're always disappointed with goals you concede, of course, it's something that they do so much with the ball with Walker running in behind and at the back post with Haaland we talked about it so much and if you concede with something that they do so often you want it to be with real difficulty and that wasn't really the case. It was done too easy.

    "We're disappointed with that and the players will be disappointed with that as well.

    "It can go both ways then when you're two nil down. To be fair to the guys they really stuck to the task and things changed obviously with the red card and then we became the team that was pushing and pressing.

    "I would have liked us to have shown a bit more quality in the final third."

  5. 'Forest showed new options off the bench'published at 18:23 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    FT: Man City 2-0 Nottingham Forest

    Stephen Warnock
    Former England and Liverpool defender on Final Score

    What Forest now have this season is options, and quality options off the bench to change the game. Elanga, Origi, Hudson-Odoi.

    You look at those players and think that they are able to go after a game and make a change and a difference.

    Credit to Steve Cooper he made those changes and they got back into the game, albeit without getting a result.

  6. 'We should win this game'published at 18:22 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    FT: Crystal Palace 0-0 Fulham

    Fulham

    Fulham manager Marco Silva, speaking to BBC Match of the Day: "Great effort from the boys, good spirit and organisation. Overall, I think we deserved the three points. We created most chances to win. Clearest chances, especially Raul [Jimenez] in the first half. Andreas [Pereira] too when Raul squared the ball. From Willian as well. We created enough. We showed quality, pushed them back and controlled the game. Good focus and reaction when we lost the ball to control players like Mateta and Edouard when they changed to 4-4-2. Eze is always a threat, a top, top player. Overall, if someone has to win the game and it should be Fulham because we were the best team on the pitch."

  7. 'Foden has been unbelievable in recent weeks'published at 18:21 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    We keep asking every year, 'When is Foden going to get a run of games in those central positions?'

    The more he plays, the more consistent he is getting in his performances. I love to watch him in those central areas of the pitch.

    I think he has been unbelievable in the last few weeks, he gets his goal today and again another good performance.

    Let's catch up on some post-match reaction from the 3pm games.

  9. HALF-TIMEpublished at 18:19 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Brentford 1-1 Everton

    Everton's best 45 minutes of the season? Much better by the Toffees but there will be frustration from Sean Dyche his side is not ahead at the break.

  10. Postpublished at 18:17 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Brentford 1- Everton

    Beto has been everywhere. There's a rush of excitement from Everton's travelling fans each time he touches the ball. He's been a real threat.

  11. 'Just lacked conviction'published at 18:14 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Brentford 1-1 Everton

    The Everton fans thought that was going in and began to celebrate. Beto's super strength is holding the ball up, but when he strikes, he just lacks that bit of class. You can see the intensity and the thought process behind it, but it just lacked the conviction.

  12. CLOSE!published at 18:14 British Summer Time 23 September 2023

    Brentford 1-1 Everton

    This should be 3-3.

    Now Brentford drive at Everton but James Tarkowski does enough to put Keane Lewis-Potter off from almost point-blank range.

    Great defensive work by the Toffees captain.

    I was just going to say regarding Brentford and how good they've been this season but in this game their yet too get in to it, however they equalised... and that looks like its woken them up a little, good response... classic Everton though, one nil up then switch off.

    Jack

    Should be 0-3 up and Brentford equalise. That sums up being an Everton supporter.

    Amadou Onana goes down in the box after a challenge by Aaron Hickey. It's not going to be a penalty. It has been checked but Everton's players are not happy.

    Another lovely move by Everton who miss another chance to score.

    A wonderful defence-splitting pass by Idrissa Gueye and a lovely run by Beto who scoops it over keeper Mark Flekken but the ball drops agonisingly wide.

    Frustrating for the Toffees.

    Everton couldn't buy a bit of luck at the moment. And even if we could, we haven't got the cash.

    Brentford 1-1 Everton

    Brentford have scored in each of their last 17 Premier League home games, since a 0-0 draw against Chelsea on 19 October 2022. Only Manchester City (36) are on a longer running Premier League home scoring streak.

    All those chances for Everton to go two goals up, and now Brentford have scored.

    Vitaly Janelt and Mathias Jensen working superbly together, Janelt found a bit of time and space and whipped the ball into Jensen. He absolutely fizzes it and it kisses the back post.

    Brentford are back in this game.

    Good game this. Brentford have been second best for most of it but that equaliser has changed the momentum. The Bees are on the charge.
