Tottenham Hotspur

Spurs defender Eric Dier: "Disappointed especially after they went down to 10 men we've got to win the game and we couldn't do that.

"They defended very well and fought for each other but that doesn't matter from our side of it. We have to be able to break them down. We weren't good enough at doing that.

"We've got to keep things in perspective. Everyone can see the progression.

"I'm enjoying learning how to play in this system."

West Ham United

West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek: "Five games we couldn't win, we sometimes played well and sometimes we played bad but I am happy we win and score four goals. A big achievement but we have to get back ready for the next game.

"It was good to score the first goal and help the team for this win. I think we played well despite losing 1-0 so I was happy to score.

"We keep pushing. This three points is important for our confidence and spirit. We can start next year with a win and this is the best way for what we want to do."

Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace midfielder Will Hughes: "The win was needed off the back of the last couple of results and with a diminished squad. Our quality shone through in the end.

"I don’t think we started great in terms of intensity, but the penalty calmed us down. It was [a penalty] in my eyes.

"When you’re 3-0 up at half-time it’s about managing the game. You don’t want to give them a sniff, because in the Premier League when a team gets a goal back, they’re right back in it.

"Every game in the Premier League’s tough in its own way. If we match their intensity and their work rate, we know we have the quality to shine through. We showed that, especially in the first half.

"When you play twice in two days it takes a toll on your body, but everyone’s in the same position. We just have to get on with it.

"We know how tight it is [in the table], especially in that middle pack. It’s good to create some distance between ourselves and the teams at the bottom."

Southampton

Southampton captain James Ward-Prowse to Amazon: "We wanted to play an aggresive style of play and Sali is an aggresive player. We had to make sure we stuck in.

"It's not easy with a lot of games but we need to get as many points as we can."

Dax Fullbrook: Awful decisions aside, this has been a poor second half performance by THFC. Against 10 men this game should’ve been won.

A bit of news coming out of Chelsea this evening... bad news too.

Ben Chilwell is going to need knee surgery.

"After a knee injury in the match against Juventus the Chelsea medical department, in collaboration with their knee specialist, took the decision to attempt a conservative rehab approach," reads a statement on the official Blues website.

"Unfortunately Ben was unable to progress and so collectively the decision has been taken to proceed this week with a surgical repair.

"Chilwell suffered the injury in our home win against Juventus on 23 November. Including that game he had made 12 appearances this season, nine of them starts, and enjoyed a rich vein of scoring form in October with four goals in five games for club and country."

Flonso: I think we need a transfer window for referees.

There goes the full-time whistle. Palace climb into the top half, while Norwich remain rooted to the foot of the table.

Norwich want a late penalty as Adam Idah goes down under Vicente Guaita's challenge but Paul Tierney is having none of it.

No late consolation for the Canaries, it seems.

They have!

The 10 men of Southampton hold on for a big point.

Tottenham may have a few things to say about a decision or two, but they didn't do enough in that second-half to win it.

Palace are happy to knock the ball about inside their own half.

The win will lift Patrick Vieira's side into the top half of the Premier League.

Fraser Forster to the rescue!

He sticks out a big, solid hand to stop Bryan Gil's effort finding the net.

Have Southampton done enough now?

They fell behind, but West Ham soon made amends and ended up wiping the floor with Watford.

Things looking grim for the likes of the Hornets and Canaries now.

Spurs look for a final killer blow but Harry Kane heads into the sidenetting after being found at the back post by a dinked cross.

Ninety seconds to go.

What a twist we almost had!

Armando Broja gets away and goes for goal but a Spurs player gets back really well to divert his effort over.

Almost the kind of finish to the game that has a football report writer screaming in agony.

Christian Benteke bundles home from point-blank range but the linesman's flag is up for offside.

VAR has a quick look but the decision stands.

Odsonne Edouard's header loops over the crossbar via a deflection.

The Frenchman then rises highest to connect with Luka Milivojevic's corner but Brandon Williams is well positioned to clear.

It was heading wide but Williams wasn't to know.

Michail Antonio almost ices the cake for West Ham but Daniel Bachmann is out in a flash to save his close-range shot.

The Hammers don't really need the fourth, though. The points are in the bag.

Fraser Forster has his palms stung as Lucas Moura turns and fires a fierce shot. Saints survive again.
