Default A review of Tuesday's Premier League

Premier League round-up: Everton and Man United draw - - (April 04 2017)

Manchester United 1-1 Everton
Burnley 1-0 Stoke
Leicester 2-0 Sunderland
Watford 2-0 West Brom

Zlatan Ibrahimovic salvaged a point with an injury time penalty but Manchester United toiled to yet another Old Trafford draw against Everton.

It could have been worse for Jose Mourinho's men after Everton controlled the first half and grabbed the lead when Phil Jagielka hooked the ball through David De Gea's legs.

United piled on the pressure with Ander Herrera and Paul Pogba both hitting the crossbar before they finally seized their opportunity in stoppage time.

Ashley Williams was sent off for handling a goalbound shot by substitute Luke Shaw, enabling Ibrahimovic to calmly score the equaliser from the spot.

David Moyes endured more misery at Sunderland slid closer to relegation from the Premier League after a 2-0 defeat at resurgent Leicester.

Moyes is facing a Football Association charge following his ill-advised comments to a BBC reporter and now seems certain to be looking at Championship football next season.

Islam Slimani and Jamie Vardy scored second half goals to power the Foxes into the top 10 and give boss Craig Shakespeare his sixth straight win.

Slimani had only been on the field for seven minutes when he nodded home a Marc Albrighton cross, before Vardy found the top corner 12 minutes from time.

The manner of their defeat meant Sunderland have now failed to score in their last five games and languish eight points from safety.

Troy Deeney scored his 100th league goal for Watford as the 10-man Hornets climbed to ninth with a 2-0 win over West Brom.

M'Baye Niang's stunning early strike put Watford in front at Vicarage Road before Deeney doubled his side's advantage with a scruffy finish soon after half-time.

Hornets defender Miguel Britos was shown a second yellow card for bringing down Salomon Rondon with 25 minutes left but the hosts held on to register back-to-back league victories for only the third time this season.

The result means Watford sit seven points behind eighth-placed West Brom in the table, although the Baggies have played one game fewer.

Burnley took a huge step towards securing top-flight survival as they ended an eight-match winless streak with a gritty 1-0 triumph over Stoke.

George Boyd's first-time finish in the 58th minute proved enough for the Clarets, but Marko Arnautovic spurned a series of fine chances for the visitors.
