Man City back in the groove
Sterling scores fastest goal of season; Llorente fires Spurs past Swansea
Raheem Sterling scored the fastest goal of the Premier League season as leaders Manchester City got back on track with a 3-1 win against Watford, while Fernando Llorente put Tottenham on course for a 2-0 victory at his former club Swansea.
Sterling struck after just 38 seconds before Christian Kabasele's first-half own goal put Pep Guardiola's side in control at Eastlands.
Sergio Aguero made it three Silva returned from a twogame absence.
City, playing their fourth match in 11 days, were ahead inside a minute as Sterling met Leroy Sane's cross with a nearpost finish for his 18th goal this season.
Having won 6-0 at Watford in September, City looked on course for another rout in the 13th minute when Watford's Kabasele sliced an attempted clearance into his own net from Kevin De Bruyne's cross.
Yet they had to wait 50 minutes to score again as Argentine Liberty Stadium.
Llorente marked the occasion with a 12th minute goal, the Spaniard powering home a header from Christian Eriksen's free-kick despite Swansea's appeals for offside.
Puddles all over the pitch made it hard for Tottenham to establish their smooth-passing game and Kane, who finished 2017 with consecutive hattricks, was sent on for Llorente after 68 minutes.
Kane made his presence felt with a perfect pass to Dele Alli and the Tottenham midfielder finished at the second attempt to wrap up the points in the 89th minute.
Tottenham move above Arsenal into fifth place and sit four points behind fourth placed Liverpool with a game in hand.
"The weather was horrible but we dominated and tried to play football. Overall, I think we were better and deserved the three points," Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino said.
Swansea remain bottom of the table as new boss Carlos Carvalhal was beaten for the first time in his second match since replacing the sacked Paul Clement.
Andy Carroll's stoppagetime strike sealed a vital 2-1 win for West Ham against second bottom West Bromwich Albion at the London Stadium. James McClean's deflected shot from the edge of the area put Albion in front in the 30th minute.
But Carroll equalised with a bullet header in the 59th minute, his first goal since April. Carroll followed up his opener with a dramatic winner from close-range, lifting David Moyes' side out of the bottom three.
West Brom are winless in 20 top-flight fixtures -- only three clubs have endured longer runs without a victory in the EPL Derby with 32,
Sunderland with 26 and Norwich with 21. Crystal Palace came from behind to win 2-1 at Southampton thanks to Luka Milivojevic's late goal.
Palace fell behind in the 17th minute as Saints striker Shane Long scored for the first time since February last year.
Long's fine finish raced into the top corner from Jeremy Pied's cross. But Palace equalised in the 69th minute when Scotland midfielder James McArthur volleyed home from Christian Benteke's header.
