Premier League round-up: Manchester City extend lead at the top, West Ham see off Newcastle and Burnley lose again
There were plenty of goals in today’s 3pm kick-offs…

Crystal Palace 2-0 Burnley

Crystal Palace scored their first goals from open play at home this season in a convincing win over struggling Burnley.5

James McArthur opens the scoring for Crystal Palace

James McArthur and Andros Townsend netted on either side of half-time to condemn the Clarets to their fifth defeat in six league games.The result lifts Palace up to 14th place, while Burnley remain in the relegation zone.

Huddersfield 1-2 Brighton

Brighton came from a goal behind to beat 10-man Huddersfield at the Kirklees Stadium.The Terriers got off to the perfect start when Mathias Jorgensen headed them in front after just 58 seconds – the fastest goal scored in the Premier League this season.5

Florin Andone nets the winner for Brighton

But Steve Mounies 32nd-minute red card for a high challenge on Yves Bissouma changed the game in Brightons favour.The visitors equalised on the stroke of half-time thanks to Shane Duffys bullet header before Florin Andones first goal in English football sealed the points for Chris Hughtons men.

Leicester 2-0 Watford

James Maddisons superb solo goal helped Leicester climb to seventh in the Premier League. The playmaker repaid his managers faith in him after being sent off for diving against Brighton last weekend.He doubled the Foxes lead after Jamie Vardy had won and converted a 12th-minute penalty.5

James Maddison puts Leicester 2-0 up against Watford

Watford, who have won just twice in 10 games, failed to register a shot on target at the King Power Stadium. Their misery was compounded when Etienne Capoue was dismissed for a two-footed tackle on Kelechi Iheanacho late on.

Manchester City 3-1 Bournemouth

Raheem Sterling once again proved a thorn in Bournemouth’s side as Manchester City survived a scare before beating the Cherries to move five points clear at the top of the Premier League.Sterling had scored in each of his previous five fixtures against Bournemouth, including a hat-trick in October 2015, and he struck after 57 minutes at the Etihad Stadium to settle City’s nerves.5

Ilkay Gundogan grabs Manchester City’s third goal against Bournemouth

Callum Wilson scored a minute before half-time to cancel out Bernardo Silva’s opener, but Sterling re-established City’s lead before Ilkay Gundogan gave them some breathing space.City therefore put some distance between themselves and closest title rivals Liverpool ahead of Sunday’s Merseyside derby.

Newcastle 0-3 West Ham

Newcastle’s three-match winning run was abruptly halted as a goal in either half from Javier Hernandez and Felipe Anderson’s injury-time strike gave West Ham a comprehensive victory at St James’ Park.The result sees the Hammers leapfrog the Magpies into 13th place.5

Javier Hernandez has scored three goals in his last four games for West Ham

Another positive for West Ham boss Manuel Pellegrini was the return of Jack Wilshere, who had missed the last three months of action with an ankle injury. The 26-year-old was an 85th-minute substitute and assisted Andersons goal.
