WEST BROM PICK UP MUCH- NEEDED WIN

Elsewhere, Alan Pardew oversaw his first Premier League victory as West Bromich Albion manager thanks to a 2- 0 win over Brighton and Hove Albion, while Rafael Benitez’s Newcastle United came from behind to draw 1- 1 with bottomof- the- table Swansea City. West Brom, who kicked off level on points with the Swans, needed just four minutes to take the lead at The Hawthorns when Jonny Evans headed in from a corner.

Craig Dawson secured their first league win since August 19 in the 56th minute with a fine header.

The Baggies remain in the relegation zone, as do Swansea, who took the lead at Newcastle through Jordan Ayew on the hour before substitute Joselu equalised 10 minutes later. Bakary Sako scored as Crystal Palace beat Burnley 1- 0. shortly before half- time.

But Watford pulled a goal back through an Andre Gray header and then equalised in controversial fashion right at the finish when Abdoulaye Doucoure turned in a Troy Deeney flick- on.

Doucoure diverted the ball in with his hand as he stooped for a header but, with no video assistant referees in the Premier League, the goal stood and denied Southampton a league win in 10 games.

West Ham opened the scoring at Huddersfield in the 25th minute through Mark Noble’s powerful shot, while Arnautovic and Lanzini helped put the result beyond doubt. first
