FT: Newcastle 3-3 Liverpool Micah Richards Former England defender on Match of the Day We keep talking about Mohamed Salah. He is just unbelievable. He does the basics really well and he is consistent. Mo Salah is immense. FT: Newcastle 3-3 Liverpool Martin Keown Former Arsenal and England defender on Match of the Day Liverpool have been running away with things so far this season but Newcastle went toe to toe with them. The workrate was exceptional and they really set about getting bodies forward at every opportunity. Liverpool were on the back foot, certainly for large periods of the first half. They did not let them settle or dictate the play. FT: Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford Aston Villa Aston Villa forward Ollie Watkins, speaking to Amazon Prime:

“We started the game brightly and came out on the front foot. We got the early

goal and that settled the crowd’s nerves. A few recent results haven’t gone our

way, but we have full faith that we can turn it around. “We just need to focus on the next game [against

Southampton]. We need to create some momentum and try and create a bit of a

fortress here at home. This is something to build on. “We’ve been here a while now. We’ve been in worse situations at the club than this. We’re like warriors and we’re here to fight to the end. It

was important we got a win here tonight and now we move on. ” FT: Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United Alan Shearer Former England striker on Amazon Prime Liverpool are favourites now for the Premier League title after their start to the season. It's not all going to be perfection for them though. They will have to answer some questions, like they did at Newcastle tonight. Arsenal are the closest to them and they are the ones that are going to challenge them. I don't see Manchester City coming back from where they are, even though they are back to winning ways. They've left themselves with a lot to do. It's going to be tough for Arsenal though, because they will have to be close to perfect. FT: Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United Arsenal Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta, speaking to BBC Radio 5 Live: "Very happy, it was a special night in this incredible stadium. "I think we deserved to win the game. We changed the team due to a few injuries, but what an energy in the stadium. "We got into the second half and we changed a few things - the team was superb. "The team needs every possible result to win the game - let's continue that. " On Liverpool dropping points: "I didn't know as I was so happy celebrating in the dressing room. "We got that news, but it is difficult to win this league. It is still very early. " #bbcfootball, text 81111 (UK only - standard rates apply) or Whats App 03301231826 2-0 flatters us (Man Utd). Have been awful in the final third. Positives are we've only been outdone by set pieces Gav FT: Arsenal 2-0 Manchester United Alan Shearer Former England striker on Amazon Prime Arsenal started the season really well, but they had a sticky spell when Martin Odegaard was injured. But their form in recent weeks has been really good, coinciding with him coming back. Even when they don't play really well, they win. There are so many things that has to go right to score from a set-piece. They need to get a good ball in there. There needs to be the movement, the hunger and the contact. Ultimately, when you don't play that well, it is the little percentages of the set-pieces that matter. That is why you work so hard in training and when it works out like tonight, it will give all the staff great satisfaction. FT: Aston Villa 3-1 Brentford Brentford Brentford manager Thomas Frank, speaking to BBC Match of the

Day: “It could have been game on in the second half. We played a better second

half than first half. The way we responded was good and we maybe could have

had another goal. “I think Villa were clearly the better side and they deserved

to win. They hit a high level and we didn’t hit a high level. Sometimes you

need that quality action from your key players – we didn’t have that today. “Their penalty isn’t a penalty, in my opinion. I think Ollie

[Watkins] kicks back and hits Ethan [Pinnock], but we didn’t lose because of

that. “I know how good the players are and how good we can play at

times. When you know there’s more in the team and we don’t perform, it’s always

irritating and frustrating. But Villa were unstoppable. “I’m pretty sure at the end of the season we’ll have won a

few games away from home, so I’m not too concerned. ” FT: Newcastle 3-3 Liverpool Robbie Fowler Former Liverpool striker on Amazon Prime I don't know the reason why Arne Slot had to [go talk to the referee at half-time]. I don't think there was anything untoward or controversial in that first half. Newcastle were value for that performance in the first half. #bbcfootball, text 81111 (UK only - standard rates apply) or Whats App 03301231826 Is it going to be a race to get Moyes to either replace Lopetegui, O'Neil or Martin? Higgy FT: Southampton 1-5 Chelsea Izzy Christiansen Former England midfielder on BBC Radio 5 Live Chelsea are silently rolling along, they're a like a shadow but they are right in it now. #bbcfootball, text 81111 (UK only - standard rates apply) or Whats App 03301231826 I'm sorry, but how are we not talking more about how the ref blew when Newcastle were three on one? ? Guaranteed we would have played on had that been at the other end! ! Pete FT: Man City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Stuart Pearce Former Nottingham Forest and Manchester City manager on Amazon Prime I think we know Man City are not out of the title race, they are going to have a say. There are going to be a lot of twists and turns in the title race. That's what makes the Premier League so good. FT: Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo told Amazon Prime: "A lot of lessons. When we lose there are things to learn. We faced a very good team. Today showed they're one of the best teams. "We should have done better in terms of the chances we had which can change the mood and momentum of the game. "Overall the team fought and competed. But when they have one v ones it's difficult to stop. "Everyone knows, there's no surprise that City are so good and the quality they have. We knew it would be tough but I cannot say it was a bad performance. "We challenged ourselves. There are two ways to play here. We tried to go for the game. For us to grow as a team we had to make this step. There were good things and not so good things. " FT: Man City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Stuart Pearce Former Nottingham Forest and Manchester City manager on Amazon Prime The bottom line tonight is that Man City needed a win to stop this non-winning run that they had been on. What you have to say is that there have been other performances where they have probably deserved wins and not got them, they haven't taken their chances. Pep Guardiola needs a great deal of credit for that performance. FT: Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest Nottingham Forest boss Nuno Espirito Santo told BBC Sport: "A lot of things didn't work out when you lose. At the same time you can't be unfair and say we didn't play good. We tried, we pressed, we were not clinical in the chances we had. " On if Chris Wood's miss felt key: "Yes and it was pivotal. Chris is a good striker of the ball. Inches from the post, it can change the momentum of the game. "After that it was a big punch in our stomach and a mountain to climb. "We had chances. It wasn't to be. Let's go for the next one. "There's positives when you try to challenge yourself and compete against one of the best teams. "I didn't have doubts of the quality of the players and manager. They started well. We were ready for that. We had moments. There's not much time because in two days' time we're playing again. " FT: Man City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Michael Brown Former Manchester City and Tottenham midfielder on Amazon Prime To get the best out of Jeremy Doku you need to isolate him against the full back. Having someone like Jack Grealish in the centre of the pitch means that the centre half is occupied and he can't get out to double up on Doku. And that creates the one v one situation for Doku to exploit. FT: Man City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Stuart Pearce Former Nottingham Forest and Manchester City manager on Amazon Prime Kevin de Bruyne has been integral to Man City's success over a number of years. He is the go to player that sets Erling Haaland alight with his passing, he creates goals, he scores goals. If you were to pick one player out over the last eight or nine years De Bruyne would be at the top of almost everyone's list. FT: Manchester City 3-0 Nottingham Forest Manchester City Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola told Amazon Prime: "Definitely we needed that after many games without winning. " What was the key thing? "We won. " "Kevin de Bruyne was excellent, especially in the first half. When he's fit he's so important for us. For many years since arriving from Germany. "[Jack Grealish was] really good. He helped us with extra passes. When he should accelerate, he accelerated. Really good, he fought. " On Nathan Ake's injury: "I don't know. We'll see tomorrow. He's a really important player. We've struggled this season with that [injuries]. " On if this is the turning point: "I don't know. We have to prove it again. It's just one game but it was important to break this run. " Newcastle had led twice in the game before equalising late on Fabian Schar hooked in a late equaliser as impressive Newcastle held Premier League leaders Liverpool to a draw in a hugely entertaining game at St James' Park. The Reds thought they had done enough to secure a victory that would have maintained their nine-point lead at the top of the table after twice coming from behind before Mohamed Salah put them 3-2 ahead with seven minutes to go. But Schar volleyed in from a free-kick that Caoimhin Kelleher came for but failed to claim to ensure a deserved point for Newcastle. Liverpool had gone into this game on the back of an impressive defeat of defending champions Manchester City that ensured they started these midweek fixtures nine points clear at the top. But they looked out-of-sorts against a Newcastle side who showed their intent from the outset. Jacob Murphy issued a warning when he clipped the post with a shot, before Alexander Isak stunned the visitors with a brilliant strike from distance. Anthony Gordon almost made it 2-0 moments later after a mistake by Joe Gomez but his shot was denied by Kelleher. It looked like being a crucial save as Liverpool levelled early in the second half when Curtis Jones fired home a first-time strike from Salah's cross. But Gordon sent St James' Park wild when he cut inside a defender before his strike squirmed past Kelleher. However, Salah equalised with a scooped finish before slotting in what he believed would be the winner - until Schar's late finish. 'Best game of season' - Newcastle give Liverpool rivals hope Liverpool 'expecting' Salah to continue, says Slot This video can not be played Mixed emotions for Slot after Liverpool draw at Newcastle The smile on Liverpool boss Arne Slot's face said it all when the full-time whistle was blown in this enthralling game. Both managers had gone through all the emotions having seen their respective sides ahead and behind at various points, but Slot's overriding one will be relief. The Reds had claimed some impressive wins at home and in Europe in the past month, beating Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen, La Liga champions and Champions League holders Real Madrid, and Premier League champions Manchester City. But this game was arguably one of the toughest they have had this season. The Reds struggled from the outset to deal with Newcastle's press while their makeshift defence, featuring Jarell Quansah at right-back and Joe Gomez alongside Virgil van Dijk in the middle, was rarely able handle the movement and creativity of Isak and Gordon. But in the second half they showed once again they have the fight for this title battle, with the ever-reliable Salah leading their charge. He exemplified their never-say-die attitude and looked to have secured a fifth successive Premier League win as his two goals took him to 13 for the season and top of the league's scoring charts. There was to be one final twist in this topsy-turvy encounter with Schar's late strike, but Slot will no doubt see this as a point gained rather than two lost. Have your say on Newcastle’s performance What did you make of Liverpool’s display? This video can not be played Howe 'gutted' Newcastle did not win 'great game' It has been an inconsistent season so far for Newcastle with impressive results like their 1-0 win against Arsenal at St James' Park in early November overshadowed later that month by a home loss to struggling West Ham. But this performance showed they have the quality and desire to reignite their challenge for the top four. From the beginning they showed intensity and desire, with Isak - a fitness doubt for this game because of a hip issue - a constant menace for the Liverpool defence. They had chances to go 2-0 up before Liverpool equalised, but for more than an hour they executed their gameplan superbly and looked in with a real chance of condemning the visitors to only their second defeat of the season after Gordon's goal. But despite the disappointment of Salah's double turning the game on its head, they deserve credit for battling to the end and securing a deserved point.
