LISTEN: Thierry Henry and Alan Pardew on the Super Sunday podcast

Thierry Henry and Alan Pardew react to Brighton’s draw against Southampton and Leicester’s win over Everton on the Super Sunday podcast.

Glenn Murray’s equaliser cancelled out Steven Davis’ opener at the Amex as the two sides played out an entertaining 1-1 draw in the early Premier League game.

Jamie Vardy and Demarai Gray scored the goals for Leicester in the later match as Claude Puel beat Everton 2-0 in his first game in charge at the King Power.

Gray’s impressive performance was up for discussion, while Henry and Pardew also looked at what went wrong for Everton caretaker boss David Unsworth.

Watch match highlights of Brighton 1-1 Southampton

Show/hide article…

Glenn Murray’s third goal in two games earned Brighton a 1-1 draw from their south-coast showdown with Southampton.

The 34-year-old, fresh from dispatching West Ham with a double nine days ago, pounced in the second half to secure a 1-1 draw for the hosts.

Steven Davis had given Southampton an early lead, but the visitors were pegged back after the interval and missed the chance to climb up to the heady heights of seventh in the Premier League.

Premier League fans’ verdict: Classic Jose Mourinho performance

Show/hide article…

Another fascinating weekend of Premier League action saw Manchester United re-assert their title credentials against Tottenham.

An Anthony Martial winner kept pace with leaders Manchester City, who made it nine wins from 10 at West Brom on Saturday.

Here, Sportsmail gets the fans’ verdicts following the latest weekend of action…

That was a classic Jose Mourinho performance. United matched Tottenham’s formation, squeezed space from the game and hit well on the counter-attack. We should have scored more but it was a fantastic result.

Spurs were equal to Manchester United throughout but somehow it always felt like this would be a narrow defeat.

Dele Alli had the chance to steal it but instead of going in with his head or putting his studs on a brilliant through ball from Christian Eriksen he let it cross his body and sent his touch wide.

Just two minutes later United got their winner and Jose had his annual 1-0 victory. Learning from these defeats is the most important thing. Spurs aren’t far off.

Sead Kolasinac is the best free transfer since Sol Campbell. The Bosnian powerhouse crashed home a loose ball early in the second half and assisted Aaron Ramsey for the winner.

Grinding out an uninspired win is always a positive, but only if you can deliver against the big teams, and with Manchester City looming, Arsenal fans will soon find out if they will contend this season.

At least it wasn’t a hammering! We took a shock lead through Sam Clucas, who was set by a sublime through ball from Tammy Abraham — one of the Swans’ only bright sparks so far this season.

But Arsenal’s three points were ultimately deserved due to their domination of possession.

Our fight and belief in the second half were rewarded — even if it looked unlikely with time running out. Sheer determination got a very good point and a sublime equaliser from Wilfried Zaha. We could have won it if it wasn’t for Joe Hart.

I feel sorry for Slaven Bilic, you just can’t legislate for that level of naivety from Michail Antonio, and those two points dropped could be huge when it’s all said and done.

Once again, West Ham fail to hold onto the win and the players were so bereft of confidence that you just sensed after they pulled one back the equaliser was coming.

A tough run of fixtures come now for the Hammers who will be ruing their inability to hold their nerve at Burnley and Crystal Palace.

Such was the lack of ambition shown by Huddersfield that Jurgen Klopp could have named himself cetnre half and still kept a clean sheet.

Klopp planned to keep faith with the same keeper and back four who lost 4-1 against Tottenham at Wembley but we will never know if that was the right decision as Dejan Lovren pulled out at the 11th hour.

Liverpool were lifeless until Daniel Sturridge accepted a gift from the Terriers’ defence to break the deadlock, but they visibly grew in confidence after that and the second half was much more like it.

Back down to earth after last week’s historic win. Wagner’s men helped ease the pressure on his lifelong friend Klopp. A lack of quality on the break and Liverpool’s increased intensity saw them run out clear winners.

We let ourselves down — but nobody as much as Troy Deeney. He had a frustratingly poor game, but that is no excuse for his immature and violent reaction to whatever was said or done by Joe Allen.

A fantastic winning goal and a display of genuine resolve and determination. What more could any Stoke fan ask for? Our defence have received some merited criticism in recent weeks but they were absolutely immense, with the towering Ryan Shawcross standing tallest of all.

His and the players’ efforts will help to remove a lot of the pressure hanging over Mark Hughes since last week.

At least we gave it half an attempt. You never expect to get anything out games against Manchester City, but what is disappointing is Tony Pulis showing once again he is now tactically inept in the Premier League.

Taking off the brilliant Rondon after an hour is inexcusable and to not play one winger is laughable. With Huddersfield away next weekend, he may have to win to save his job.

Hegazi was phenomenal at the back, Allan Nyom should never put a shirt on again.

Hard to tell whether City were complacent or just off the boil, but this was the least impressive we’ve been this year in the league.

It was a little bit like last season - plenty of possession, but sloppy in the final third and wasteful with chances. That said, it was very comfortable in reality.

We scored three, should have had more, were never in trouble and the scoreline flattered a very limited West Brom.

Valiant Bournemouth tried their best but they did not pose enough problems for Chelsea. The Cherries have played extremely well against the top sides, but this is another day when they come away disappointed with injuries to Benik Afobe and Junior Stanislas.

They need their luck to turn and perhaps a fit Callum Wilson will provide the answers and goals they need.

It was by no means our best performance but was enough to keep up with the Premier League pace setters ahead of yet another busy week.

Speculation has been rife over Conte and his position at the club in the past week but I have to say that there is not anyone else I’d rather lead us into battle than our passionate Italian.

I guess I should be happy with the draw but I’m not. Yet again it was 11 versus 12 and yet again we had a Muppet of a referee.

Overall, 12 points from 10 games is above par so no complaints, but I long for consistency from the officials.

If Van Dijk is worth £30million, what price Dunk and Duffy?

Our defence is rife with talent and depth, but for as long as we have a keeper who is slow on his feet and indecisive with almost every effort, we’ll concede vital goals.

Southampton started strongly to go one up, but in worryingly familiar fashion, soon after decided to sit deep and throw few bodies forward.

We’re better than this, and once again I’m disillusioned as to just what Mauricio Pellegrino is striving for.

Hunger and confidence were evident in the first half as goals from Vardy and Gray sent Everton home empty-handed. Leicester sparkled in a performance reminiscent of their title winning campaign with Ndidi, Iborra and the excellent Demarai Gray all featuring.

The first goal was of real class, one to watch over and over again. A welcome three points have Leicester unbeaten in their last five Premier League games.

A decent performance at Chelsea in midweek and the sacking of Koeman provided a bit more belief going into this game, but they were sent crushing down when a slow, disorganised, abysmal Everton side walked onto the pitch.

Leicester were well structured and very dangerous on the counter, which wasn’t matched by our 1,000-year-old defence. Poor selection from Unsworth, formation and line-up, and we thoroughly deserved to lose that.
