Brighton 0-0 Leicester
Glenn Murray has a great chance to give Brighton the lead at the Amex but, with just Kasper Schmeichel to beat, the veteran striker misses the target!
With the form he's been in recently, you'd have expected him to bury that!
GOAL! Watford 1-1 Bournemouth (King, 43)
Bournemouth striker Josh King turns the ball home from the spot after the referee had awarded the visitors a penalty following a Jose Holebas handball.
West Ham 3-0 Southampton (Arnautovic, 45+4)
Arthur Masuaku's cross is volleyed home by Marko Arnautovic and that, you would have to say, is probably game over!

- West Ham 2-0 Southampton
Brighton 0-0 Leicester
Pascal Gross' deflected effort looks for all the world as though it's going to loop beyond Leicester stopper Kasper Schmeichel but the big Dane produces a remarkable save to tip the ball behind for a corner.
Wonderful goalkeeping.
GOAL! Watford 2-1 Bournemouth (Pereyra, 49)
Roberto Pereyra restores Watford's lead at Vicarage Road as he beats Asmir Begovic from close range!
West Ham 3-0 Southampton
After almost an hour, Charlie Austin has Southampton's first on-target shot of the match against West Ham!
Unfortunately for Austin, his effort is blocked behind for a corner, which comes to nothing for the visitors.
Manchester United 2-0 Swansea
Alexis Sanchez comes close to notching his second goal of the game but the United forward's header loops just over the crossbar from close range.
Moments later at the other end Tammy Abraham is denied twice in quick succession by a couple of wonderful David de Gea saves.
