Unknown 0:08
Huge result for Newcastle, Manchester United stunned by that defeat.

David Jones 0:31
Jose Mourinho's reaction now with Jeff Shreves.
Thierry Henry 0:35
Jesse, can you believe in the sheer number of chances that you had?

What did the experts say about the chances created by Manchester United?

Thierry Henry 0:37
You didn't get anything out today.
Jose Mourinho 0:39
Yeah, but I'm sorry. But they fought like animals. And animal is, I think, is a good word in football. I hope they understand it as a compliment. They gave everything they had. And then the gods of football were with them.

What defensive mistakes led to Newcastle's goal?

Jose Mourinho 1:00
But I repeat, they fought like animals to have that luck in their side.
Thierry Henry 1:04
I saw you go straight over at the final whistle and shake Rafa Benitez's hand with a smile on your face as if to say to yourself, it just wasn't going to happen for us today. Yeah, it wasn't going to happen for us.
Jose Mourinho 1:13
But also... They give what they have and what they don't have. And I think that's a beautiful thing in football. I think they must have the best feeling of all. Sometimes a better feeling than when you play fantastically well and you are better than the opponent. They fought for their point. I think a point for them was what they had in mind.

How did Liverpool secure their win against Southampton?

Jose Mourinho 1:40
We made a defensive mistake in... in a lateral free kick, and then when they are in front, they had only one thing in their mind, gave their lives to keep a clean sheet. It was not just up to them, it was also the gods of football. But I repeat, I think it's a beautiful way to win a football match the way they did. You took Paul Pogba off the game.
Thierry Henry 2:06
Was he fully fit? Because he came in early from the warm-up. You seem to be checking on him during the game.
Jose Mourinho 2:11
No, no, no.
Thierry Henry 2:12
I think no problems. You made the change before the goal went in. What was not happening? What were you looking to change in your midfield?
Jose Mourinho 2:19
You know, I want a better way to come out in the first phase against a team that was defending in a very compact block. I was trying that with the simplicity of Michael Carrick because he tries to make everything simple and bring Alexis to an area close to...

What role did Mo Salah play in Liverpool's victory?

Jose Mourinho 2:43
to Lukaku where it could be like a second striker to try to win the game. I was unlucky because they scored the goal in the seconds before that and then I'm going to face a different Newcastle, a Newcastle that in that moment the only thing they think is to defend.
David Jones 3:03
We've got to rush through this. Kick-off is not too far away here at St Mary's between Southampton and Liverpool. But first, a great chance at nil-nil, Thierry, for Alexis Sanchez. Why doesn't he shoot?
Mo Salah 3:13
I actually don't know. Great pass from Rolukaku. I thought he was very good today. And now, go around the ball and shoot, and he didn't, and he allowed... I think it was Lesion that made the recovery there. He has a look. I don't know why he doesn't shoot. Before that, what a recovery from Newcastle. And as Mourinho said, they did fight like animals in the bracket, but you still had the opportunity to kill that game.
David Jones 3:37
The free kick comes for Chris Smalling being penalised for diving, Graham.

How significant is the race for Champions League places after this weekend?

David Jones 3:42
What is he thinking of here?
Graeme Souness 3:43
Well, he's not getting the ball, is he? It's away from him here, watch. It's away from him, so I'm going to try and get a foul and we'll keep possession. And this is a great decision by the referee. And what is that defensive mistake then now that Jose is talking about? Well, there's two. There's Matic and Pogba there, and then we haven't got time to analyse, but Richie gets a free run into the box because prior to the ball being kicked, there's been no communication, either with... These two here, Matic and Pogba, who's got who? You can't get a free header like that inside your own box that deep. And then we will examine it after the game. Richie, I think there's Sanchez and Lingard with them outside the box, and Richie's allowed to drift into the box because we know this is my man, that's your man, prior to the ball being kicked.
David Jones 4:29
Brilliant composure there for Matt Richie, who scores with his 44th shot of the season, his first goal. He's a hero, but what about the man in goal for Newcastle today on his debut, Thierry?
Mo Salah 4:39
I thought that the whole team was brilliant, but obviously, especially at the end again, and the whole game, he has been really, really good.
