He highlighted their injury situation, noting they could only make one substitution due to needing JP [Mateta] to defend set plays. Glasner believes the team will be rewarded for their effort.
23:22 GMT - Champions League Wide Open?
Former Newcastle and Man City keeper Shay Given told BBC Radio 5 Live that any team that can put together a run of three or four wins from six games will be in the mix for Champions League football, adding that the season seems wide open.

23:21 GMT - Spurs Fans Voice Frustration
Tottenham's Joao Palhinha, speaking to Sky Sports, said that words were exchanged with fans after the game, with supporters sharing their frustration. He added that the team understands and respects this, and that they are fighting for the same goal: to win. Palhinha said that they deserve the victories in the last few games, but it's tough to speak about momentum when you lose.
23:20 GMT - Wolves Goalscorer Not Scared of Anyone
Wolves goalscorer Mateus Mane, speaking to Sky Sports, said it was an amazing feeling to score, and that the team deserved the three points. They thought to attack after Everton got two red cards, but were unlucky not to get the goal. He said that Rob Edwards told them to keep going, and the ball will come. Mane added that he's not scared of anyone and that he deserves to be here, and he's proving what he can do. He said he feels like he had space between the defenders, took a touch, and slotted into the bottom corner. He said the team will fight to stay in the Prem.
23:19 GMT - Moyes Sees 'Very Little Positives'
Everton boss David Moyes said they started OK, got in front and should have gotten further in front. On Michael Keane's red card, he said it wasn't deliberate and certainly wasn't violent, and if you have longer hair, there's a fair chance you'll get it pulled. Moyes said the referee was correct with Jack Grealish's red card, and that his team didn't play well and Wolves got better. He sees very little positives and said they are short of players.
23:17 GMT - Man Utd Interim Boss Disappointed with Draw
Manchester United interim boss Darren Fletcher, speaking to Sky Sports, said he was disappointed they didn't win the game, and that they did more than enough in terms of chances and shots. He wasn't sure why the goal was disallowed for the foul with [Lisandro] Martinez. Fletcher added that being 2-1 up, they should have seen out the game, but Burnley's goal was a great finish. He was happy with the effort and application, and said the players are adapting to new ideas. He added that Sesko needed his goals massively. Fletcher will be in charge for the Brighton game.
23:15 GMT - Howe Calls It a 'Crazy Game'
Newcastle manager Eddie Howe told BBC Match of the Day that he struggled to make sense of the game, calling it crazy. He said they weren't at their best, Leeds played very well, but they had a spirit and togetherness. He added that no Premier League game is easy this year, and the win is valuable. He expressed huge concern for Fabian Schar's ankle injury, saying it's quite serious and he's gone to hospital.
