West Ham returned to winning ways after beating Newcastle United 2-0 at the London Stadium.

After losing 1-0 to Manchester City earlier in the week, the hosts responded in fashion with a comfortable and largely controlled display in front of their fans.

It took just seven minutes for Manuel Pellegrini’s side to take the lead, with Declan Rice finding the back of the net for his second goal of the season.

Mark Noble doubled the lead from the penalty spot three minutes before the break.

After the restart West Ham continued to dominate proceedings as the visitors struggled to make their presence felt, aside from a late free-kick which struck the woodwork. The result sees the Londoners move up to ninth in the table on 39 points.

GOAL! Burnley 0-3 Crystal Palace (Wilfried Zaha, 76 minutes)

​Game, set and match for Crystal Palace!

A forgettable afternoon for Sean Dyche.

Wilfried Zaha twists this way and that, moving the ball brilliantly to create space and firing past  Tom Heaton. Brilliant.

GOAL! Manchester United 2-2 Southampton (James Ward-Prowse, 75 minutes)

Another stunner!

James Ward-Prowse's set piece prowess is well-known, and the Southampton midfielder shows his ability with the dead ball from 25 yards, curling over the wall and into the top corner.

Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester City, 76 minutes

Top goalkeeping.

Artur Boruc is out swiftly to beat Raheem Sterling to the ball and punch clear when the Manchester City winger seemed to be through.

Bournemouth still in it. Just...

GOAL! Brighton 1-0 Huddersfield (Florin Andone, 79 minutes)

Big goal at the bottom, Brighton lead!

Anthony Knockaert curls a gorgeous cross onto Florin Andone's head and the Romanian heads home with a controlled glance.

That goal should drag Brighton clear of real strife for the time being with Cardiff losing...

Bournemouth 0-1 Manchester City, 81 minutes

Off the crossbar!

What an effort!

City are coming closer and closer to a second, Sergio Aguero audaciously trying to loft over Artur Boruc with the goalkeeper off his line, coming oh-so-close, Boruc just about recovering to touch on to his crossbar and away.

Manchester United 2-2 Southampton, 85 minutes

Five minutes left in the 90 at Old Trafford, and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has swapped Brazilians.

The rarely sighted Fred replaces the impressive Andreas Pereira.

GOAL! Burnley 1-3 Crystal Palace (Ashley Barnes, 89 minutes)

A consolation for Burnley.

Wayne Hennessey doesn't cover himself in glory as Ashley Barnes beats him to the ball and heads past the onrushing Crystal Palace goalkeeper to restore a little Burnley pride.
