    A bit of luck and Liverpool will be delighted. Do they deserve the goal? Absolutely not.

    For me, Saliba is trying to be a little bit too clever and clean. He should just put his left foot through it.

  4. 'We could not handle the stress'published at 17:25 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February

    FT: Chelsea 2-4 Wolves

    Chelsea

    Chelsea manager Mauricio Pochettino speaking to BBC Sport: "When we scored the game was for us. Then when we concede we start to feel nervous and we didn't manage well the stress.

    "It was difficult to manage the team, the stress. We had chances for 2-2 but then we conceded the third. Disappointed, I apologise to the fans and thanks to those who stayed and supported the team until the end. We are sorry and so disappointed.

    "Of course, I think we can change [the situation], we felt so disappointed after [the midweek 4-1 loss at] Liverpool and today it was 1-0 but [we made] too many mistakes which you can't afford to in the Premier League.

    "We started to play with a nervousness, made rash decisions. We need to reset and be ready for the FA Cup [fourth round replay] on Wednesday against Aston Villa. Of course the disappointment is massive.

    "We cannot go down, it is a tough moment, but it is a moment to be together and find solutions and try to help the team with our decisions.

    "It is normal that we are not matching the history of the club. It is a different project and it is always a matter of time but it is difficult for me to always ask for time, time, time and it's normal that the patience is not infinite.

    "We need to show more and the circumstances are difficult. We were good until Liverpool but after Liverpool and Wolves it is like everything is going wrong. We have been on a good run and we need to move on."

  5. 'Too harsh to be a red'published at 17:23 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February

    FT: Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola on Philip Billing's straight red card: "I think his foot is touching the floor. It's nothing dangerous. It's too harsh to be a red card. There was nothing in there. I felt it was going to be a yellow. VAR has obviously seen it in and decided not to overturn the decision.But I think we did quite well with 10 players. We survived."

    On his team's performance: "We started really well. They had much more rest than us. It affected us. There were 30-something fouls. It was too much. It affected us. It has been a game where there was not a lot of spaces for both teams.

    "We dealt with the game well. I don't think we conceded clear chances. I think we have been quite good the last few games. Today we started very, very good but once we burnt some energy we couldn't keep this level.

    "We could feel the difference. [Forest played Tuesday]. They were fresher. That is the reason we made the subs early to keep the physical level. I think we pushed a lot from the beginning. We had chances - not clear, clear chances. We have to keep working and keep getting results. We have to keep going."

    FT: Bournemouth 1-1 Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest

    Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo: "What cost us was to concede so soon in the game. In the first half we dominated and started to create problems for Bournemouth. In the second half there was more intensity.

    "Callum [Hudson-Odoi] is improving game-by-game. He is showing what he can do. He did a pretty good job today. When I saw it - no doubts [about the red card]. It was a kick from behind. He is in a lot of pain. With a lot of respect, a kick from behind is not fair.

    "Perfection is very hard to achieve. We are very far from achieving what we want. It will take time. But we are working and helping each other. What's important is the commitment of the players. We have to be focused on performing, working and playing."

  7. 'A really enjoyable one after midweek heartbreak'published at 17:21 Greenwich Mean Time 4 February

    Wolves manager Gary O'Neil speaking to BBC Sport: "Tough place to come, [Chelsea have] an extremely talented squad, [it was] just a real belief in our group.

    "We tidied up bits that worked well against Manchester United and looked much better. It was a real good team performance and an enjoyable one for us, I can't lie.

    "It was just trying to be us today. There was nothing special about it, be aggressive, see if we can force mistakes, and with the ball I thought we were excellent.

    "I didn't really like us at 4-1, I saw a little lack of focus but harsh criticism of course. It's not a trait I want to see, it's a talented group so we should keep going. I really enjoyed it and the lads deserve massive credit.

    "We have comeback from setbacks a lot. We suffered heartbreak three days ago after working our socks off to get back against Manchester United and they scored right at the death. But it was straight to business. We have done it a lot this season.

    "Really pleased, 32 points is something the group should be proud of at this stage and lets see where we can go."

    On Matheus Cunha: "He's a fantastic guy. Always had quality, we know he has that. He is so humble and hard-working, all I have worked on him with is hi understanding of situations. A Premier League hat-trick speaks volumes of the improvements he's made.

    "A big win of course, but back down to earth very quickly with Brentford next. We need to make sure the boys are ready to go again."

    And the half-time whistle goes. I cannot tell you how disastrous a moment that is for Arsenal, who controlled that first half.

    What a shocker for Arsenal. They just don't deal with it. It's a disaster really.

    A shambles.

    William Saliba, holding off Luis Diaz, tries to let the ball run to David Raya, who hasn't come off his line quickly enough.

    The ball hits a couple of defenders and somehow bounces into an empty net. Gabriel gets the final touch.

    Beautiful pass from Jorginho into Martinelli.

    A chance to go 2-0 up. They just need that killer instinct, Arsenal's front three.

    Liverpool seem very lethargic today, missing their usual urgency, precision, and crispness. Curious to see how they show up in the second half. It can't be any worse.

    Big moment for Arsenal but Gabriel Martinelli is closed down by Ibrahima Konate, who blocks his shot. He had been in space a second earlier.

    The referee has words with Luis Diaz, who stands on Ben White's foot as he tries to kick it. No card though.

    Good defending by William Saliba to stop Luis Diaz doing something with Trent Alexander-Arnold's cross. Arsenal break but Liverpool clear at the third attempt.

    This game plan is going to come back and bite Arsenal, champions don’t slow the game down 20 minutes in with a one goal lead.
