West Ham 2-1 West Brom
A dramatic win for the Hammers.
GOAL – Manchester City 3-1 Watford
Andre Gray (82 mins)
A consolation for the visitors.
Andre Gray taps a cross in from close range and the travelling Watford fans go wild. They are happy to celebrate anything after a pretty miserable journey up north.
FULL-TIME
Swansea 0-2 Tottenham
GOAL – West Ham 2-1 West Brom
Andy Carroll (90 mins)
And that’s his second!
Andy Carroll surely seals victory for West Ham as he blasts in at the far post after Marko Arnautovic’s cross had drifted through to him.
Fair to say the West Ham social media person got a bit excited about that goal…
FULL-TIME
Southampton 1-2 Crystal Palace
All over and a great win for Crystal Palace. What an impact Roy Hodgson has had.
GOAL – West Ham 0-1 West Brom
James McClean (30 mins)
No goals in the first 45 minutes of last night’s Premier League games but we’ve got at least a goal everywhere now as West Brom get in on the act.
James McClean runs from just inside the West Ham half to the edge of the area, where he goes for goal and his strike loops over Adrian with the help of a hefty deflection.
GOAL – Man City 2-0 Watford
Christian Kabasele OG (13 mins)
A colleague of mine, while watching his Oxford United side get thumped 7-0 by Wigan, suggested teams should be able to call time on a game early when it’s clear who’s going to win. There may soon be a case for that in this game.
Kevin de Bruyne crosses low for Sergio Aguero and Christian Kabasele’s slices his attempted clearance into his own net.
GOAL – Southampton 1-0 Crystal Palace
Shane Long (17 mins)
SOUND THE SHANE LONG HAS SCORED KLAXON!
It’s the day many thought would never arrive as Long strikes for the first time since February last year.
For someone who has endured such a lengthy goal drought it is a very tidy finish as sweeps Jeremy Pied’s cross into the top corner.
GOAL – Man City 1-0 Watford
Raheem Sterling (1 min)
We’ve got a goal at the Etihad.
No messing about as Manchester City take just 40 seconds to take the lead, Raheem Sterling finishing at the far post from Leroy Sane’s cross.
Could be a very long night for Watford.
GOAL – Swansea 0-1 Tottenham
Fernando Llorente (12 mins)
It had to be!
Former Swansea striker Fernando Llorente marks his first Premier League start for Tottenham with a goal against his former club, powering home a header from Christian Eriksen’s free-kick.
