Post-match quotes from Wilfried Bony
Here's what Swansea's striker had to say after his match-winning strike against West Brom:
"You can see all the fans are happy. We needed it. We didn't give up and that win was very important today.
"I was around the box and knew I just needed one chance as the game was tight. I was tired and just waiting. I saw the ball dropping and thought that was it.
"I pushed myself and we deserved the three points. It was intense, it was physical in parts. We just needed to be focused. The most important was the points so we get confidence."
Quotes from BBC
Post-match quotes from Scott Arfield
The Canadian scored Burnley's winning goal against 10-man Watford at Turf Moor. Here's what he had to say afterwards:
"That is a massive win for us. We've got momentum at the minute. We had a stumble last week against Leicester but it's great to come here and make everyone happy again.
"In the second half Watford were fantastic and really the goal came at the best time for us. Ideally you have a win and a great performance, but sometimes the three points are all you need.
"Another win on the board - happy days!"
Quotes from BBC
Post-match quotes from Eddie Howe
Bournemouth's manager was not happy with the awarding of an injury-time penalty against his team in the 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace:
"It was an incredible game, real end to end, two teams very attack minded. It was on a knife edge, especially in the last ten minutes but we're very aggrieved with the last penalty.
"Charlie's got the ball and as soon as the referee pointed to the spot you think that's the game lost. I've only seen it live and I'm backing my player to tell me the truth and he says he got the ball."
