Comments:

League position: 9th Watford had now won consecutive Premier League games for the first time since December 2015. Etienne Capoue had now scored four goals in his five Premier League games so far in this season. He had scored only once in his previous 57 appearances in the Premier League. Juan Zuniga scored his first Premier League goal in this game, only 53 seconds after coming on as a substitute. It was his first club goal since playing for Napoli in Serie A in April 2012.

Comments:

League position: 7th Manchester United had now lost three games in a row at some stage of each season since Sir Alex Ferguson stood down as manager in 2013. The last time they lost three consecutive games during his reign was the final three games of the 2000-01 season. Jose Mourinho had now lost three games in a row in the same season for the first time since he was in charge of FC Porto in February 2002. United became the first club to score a total of 800 goals in their Premier League away games. Arsenal were now their nearest rivals on 704 goals.
