Hits & misses: Can Amorim really ride this storm out at Man Utd?

"We have learned, to win a game of football, it doesn't have to be pretty to win a game,"

"Our young players are mature and they know the things they have to do to win the game,"

"It's been a tough patch for myself, so really delighted with how we went today,"

"I think just for us, for the lads, the team and the club we needed a win and I'm glad I played my part."

"And Moyes will now hope Calvert-Lewin - and Everton - can build on that impressive display between now and the end of the season as the Toffees look to pull away from the drop zone. Rich MorganYou'd be forgiven for wondering what all the fuss was about over Phil Foden if you had only started watching football since the summer. A poor European Championships when many expected him to rip it up somehow didn't hold England back from the final. And since returning this season, he's looked jaded, not scoring in his first 11 Premier League appearances.But like many of the England players that went deep in the summer, his form has spiked in recent weeks. The same can be said for Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham.There's a smile on Foden's face now as City's attacking players are coming to the boil and providing chances from all angles again. It's six goals in six games now for last year's PFA Player of the Year. He's reminding us all of his talents and it's no coincidence City are moving up the table as a consequence.Lewis JonesPlease use Chrome browser for a more accessible video playerHow quickly football games can change.To scoring three goals from an expected goals value of just 0.28 xG, to holding on by the narrowest of margins in added time.Nuno Espirito Santo's side showed both sides of their game today - and that is exactly why they now sit level on points with Arsenal in second.Their attacking play speaks for itself, as displayed by the emphatic finishing in the first half, but they secured all three points thanks to their stoic defensive performance in the latter stages of the game.With pressure mounting and Southampton looking dangerous with every attack, the squad banded together and dragged themselves over the line.Forest are the real deal and they owe a lot of that to their commitment on the defensive end.Patrick RoweLike they did against Manchester United, Southampton showed enough promise and threat in injury-time to walk away with a result today.If they had played with the same intent throughout the entire 90 minutes, they would not be walking away empty-handed - as boss Ivan Juric correctly pointed out.However, like relegation rivals Leicester, the Saints are failing to piece positive performances throughout the entire game, and ultimately it could end up being their downfall.Juric will learn more about his squad as time goes on, but one thing is clear - they looked more threatening with the target man Paul Onuachu, who scored his first Premier League goal today, leading the line."

" Juric said. "
