Have a read of of all of today's reports

We are back on Friday where we switch our attention to the other end of the table as West Ham host Watford.

Until then.

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson speaking to Match of the Day: "We've had bad luck with defenders, it's testing are reserves in that respect. Patrick [van Aanholt] has hardly missed a game and I don't know how long it takes to mend a dislocated shoulder but I can only hope he comes back again next season.

"We done so well, I thought we put in just as much effort as they did and we still came away with nothing and on the end of another defeat, which is hard to take."

On VAR decisions: "What’s the point in getting into it? If I said it was, they say it wasn't, it becomes like a Christmas pantomime.

"I thought it was a good goal. That’s what VAR gives us at the moment. If that had been scored against us I wouldn’t be expecting it to ruled out but that’s what we have to take now."

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tells BBC Sport: "We know that the other teams will do their bit but we have to concentrate on ourselves, we took some time to get going today and Palace were on the front foot pressing us. When the play and interchange and movement came, it was nice to watch.

"Their disallowed goal looked tight and you are hoping it is offside, we were lucky there.

"We need to be more clinical in finding that type of play, when they do they are good to watch. They are so good, strong and technical and put the defenders on the back foot.

"We have two games we need to win. The players should be confident, trust themselves and trust the way they play."

Southampton

Everton have opened talks with Southampton over a deal for Danish midfield man Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg – but could face competition from Tottenham Hotspur.

The 24-year-old was stripped of the Saints captaincy after he informed manager Ralph Hasenhuttl he would not be extending his contract, which has 12 months to run.

Southampton

Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl: "At half-time it was a disaster, we were not the team you have seen in the last weeks in the first half. But we played much quicker, made the right decisions and it was a good game in the second half.

"We made a few changes, maybe too many but what can you do? There was a lack of automatism and a lack of speed. We didn't find the right tools in the first half but it was a very intensive rebuild at half-time.

"We had big, big opportunities to win this game. Danny Ings, the progress he has made in this year is amazing. He is fit, he works so hard, he wins the ball so many times. This is definitely a striker who deserves so many goals."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton boss Graham Potter: "Every point is hard earned in the Premier League. We've got two more games to get some more and this was an important point.

"Mat Ryan wasn't happy about his performance against Manchester City but that's the ups and downs of football, sometimes you're the hero and some times you're the villain.

"We have found resilience away from home and all credit to the players. Our defensive effort was fantastic."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace striker Jordan Ayew speaking to BT Sport: "We're just unlucky at the moment, I'm not going to comment [on the penalty decision]. We'll keep pushing and working hard.

"We played really well. We're unlucky not to come out with a point. We’ll try and win the next two games so we can start next season better.

"There's some games where we played well. Home against Chelsea and Man Utd today. We gave them a good game. I'm not going to cry and complain, we just need to keep pushing."

Manchester United

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer tells BT Sport: "It is a tight game and didn't get the rhythm in our passing but two fantastic goals won it for us.

"The finish was great for Marcus Rashford's goal but there was quick inter-changing passing in the build-up. We did not do it enough because they are a handful to play against, they have to trust themselves more.

"It looked like Victor Lindelof kicks the ball first and it is a tight decision but probably the same on Anthony Martial. I don't think it was a penalty.

"When we go the second goal, that is when they started strutting about. It is tight scheduling but we cannot afford starts like this.

"Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial are enjoying themselves, when they go out onto the pitch for a shift, they go out with a smile and they defend each other too.

"We need to smile and go into this, we have earned this right, no-one thought in January that we would be in with a shout for top four. We have done fantastic since the restart. These are the games that matter. That is the thing at Manchester United, you have to step up and show your personality."

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton manager Graham Potter: "If we are being honest Southampton were much better in the second half and pushed us back. We had to defend with our lives and make blocks. Mat Ryan made an incredible save and I am delighted for him because he had a difficult evening last time out.

"We were in control in the first half but they responded and played with freedom. They are in a good place and we knew that, we battled well and it's a really important point for us.

"37 points is better than 36 but we want more of course."

Manchester United

Manchester United striker Marcus Rashford on BT Sport: "Every game for us now a big game, we were scoring goals for fun before Southampton and the last two have been difficult games, we have to work double hard to win today.

"I am trying to be clever inside the box and find half a yard to get a shot off. We have bee improving in our pattern of play. The beginning of the game was very tough.

"With VAR you do not know what to expect. It can be difficult at times for both teams.

"Anthony Martial has done a lot work today and makes himself available to receive the ball. It is always good when your strikers can score.

"We have to go and win every game, that has been the goal for the past few weeks but today has been good to refocus."

Just had sight of Palace full-back Patrick van Aanholt, who has his right arm in a sling.

Brighton & Hove Albion

Brighton striker Neal Maupay: "It's massive for us, we came here to win but they were good in the second half and now we need to finish it off on Monday.

"We are not safe yet, we will keep fighting but it was a big step tonight. During lockdown it was hard for us as a team but the whole club have done an incredible job to keep us focused.

"The spirit is good and we always believe in ourselves."

I was looking at the referee after Scott Dann brought down Martial and I was thinking 'surely you're not going to go to VAR?!'

Leicester won earlier, United do the same to keep pace in the race for a top four place.

We are into the hundredth minute of the match.

Crystal Palace 0-2 Man Utd

Scott Dann brings down Anthony Martial, no penalty.

Mesmerising play from Anthony Martial, the Palace defenders have no idea how to stop him.

The Frenchman weaves into the box and pulls the ball back which ricochets off a home defender before trickling towards the line, but Mamadou Sakho gets back to clear.

Bruno Fernandes free-kick from the left, into the side netting.
