Premier League 3pm roundup: Tottenham stumble at Southampton as centurion Jamie Vardy fells Fulham

Relive all the action from the Premier League's 3pm kick-offs

Rafael Benitez says Newcastle confident of staying in Premier League

Tottenham's grip on a top-four place in the Premier League is suddenly under threat after falling to another loss on Saturday, while the fight to avoid the final relegation spot tightened as well.

Southampton's 2-1 comeback win over Tottenham extended Spurs' winless streak in the competition to four games and left both ends of the table looking more unpredictable.

Tottenham is now just three points ahead of fourth-placed Manchester United ahead of its game at Arsenal on Sunday, with the Gunners just a further point back. Sixth-placed Chelsea, meanwhile, is five points behind Spurs with two games in hand — meaning Tottenham's hold on a Champions League spot is in real peril after three losses and one draw in its last four matches.

James Ward-Prowse scored the winner for Southampton with a free kick in the 81st minute to keep Southampton two points ahead of 18th-placed Cardiff, which also earned a crucial 2-0 home victory over West Ham.

Newcastle also rallied from two goals down to beat Everton 3-2, while Brighton beat Crystal Palace 2-1 in the early game — results that mean that Newcastle in 13th is only six points ahead of Cardiff in 18th, the final relegation spot.

Fulham and Huddersfield both look doomed, though, after losing again. Last-placed Huddersfield lost 2-0 at home against Bournemouth and is now 16 points from safety with eight games to go, while Fulham remained just three points ahead in 19th after losing 3-1 at Leicester.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

10 minutes

A half chance for Watford, who have looked confident when on the ball. Andre Gray is set through on the right and looks to pull the ball back across goal. It's blocked, though, and City manage to clear.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

11 minutes

Zinchenko drills a wicked cross into the middle, which Kabasele does well to head away. The big Watford defender then does the same from the resulting corner. He's going to be busy today.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

15 minutes

If you're a fan of watching 90 minutes of attack vs defence, this is the game for you. Watford are camped in their own half - often their own box - and City are simply waiting for an opening.

Sterling and Silva link up nicely, and the latter tests Foster from a tight angle. Watford clear but City are straight back at them. Walker is fouled by Cleverley, who picks up a booking, and the resulting free kick is punched away by Foster.

Zinchenko drills another dangerous cross towards the far post. It flashes across goal, but there's just too much on it for Aguero, who was waiting to pounce in the middle.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

26 minutes

City are completely dominant, but they're struggling to carve out any real chances at the moment. Watford are defending resolutely and the ball just hasn't quite dropped for the hosts as yet.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

29 minutes

Big chance! Bernardo Silva plays an inch perfect ball to the back post where Aguero looks certain to nod home. But the Argentine, normally so clinical, plants his header wide. The best opportunity of the game so far is wasted.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

31 minutes

Excellent defending from Janmaat, who gets across just in time to block off Sterling. The City winger was clean through on goal and that was a crucial intervention.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

34 minutes

Aguero finds space again in the box and Gundogan picks him out. His shot is saved well by Foster, but the flag is up for offside anyway.

Manchester City 0-0 Watford

37 minutes

A rare forage forward for Watford results in some half-hearted penalty appeals. Success plays the ball into Cleverley, who goes down under a challenge from Otamendi just inside the box. The referee isn't interested, though.
