Default Tuesdays Premier League Review (Nov 28th 2017)

Premier League round-up:
Manchester United and Leicester both win (November 28 2017)

Premier League results

Brighton 0-0 Crystal Palace
Leicester 2-1 Tottenham
Watford 2-4 Manchester United
West Brom 2-2 Newcastle

Ashley Young turned on the style against his former club as Manchester United survived a late scare to move to within five points of Premier League leaders Manchester City with a 4-2 win at Watford.

Young spent 11 years at Vicarage Road after joining Watford as a schoolboy but he left no room for sentiment as two brilliant first-half strikes paved the way for an entertaining United win.

Young lashed home a 19th minute opener with a low shot from outside the box then curled home a superb free-kick six minutes later after a foul by Abdoulaye Doucoure.

A third from Anthony Martial looked to have ended the game as a contest but Watford gave themselves hope of a point through a Troy Deeney penalty and a second from Doucoure.

United ultimately sealed victory with a brilliant solo goal from Jesse Lingaard four minutes from time to finally sink the Hornets' hopes.

Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham slipped up again as brilliant first-half goals from Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez handed Leicester a 2-1 win at the King Power Stadium.

Vardy latched onto a ball over the top from Marc Albrighton to volley a superb 13th minute opener, then Mahrez curled home Leicester's second on the stroke of half-time.

Already reeling from their dropped point at home to West Brom at the weekend, Spurs reduced the deficit when Harry Kane lashed home a through-ball from the returning Erik Lamela 11 minutes from time.

Spurs almost snatched a point in the final seconds when first Danny Rose had a penalty appeal turned down, then Dele Alli flashed a final shot just wide.

Newcastle hit back from two goals down to grab a 2-2 draw at West Brom and end a run of four consecutive defeats.

The home side looked set for victory through goals from Hal Robson-Kanu and Sam Field either side of half-time, but Ciaran Clark's header gave Newcastle hope on the hour mark.

That belief paid off seven minutes from time when Matt Ritchie's ball into the box took a couple of deflections and went into the net off Baggies defender Jonny Evans.
