ARSENAL saw off Watford to secure their first Premier League win in four games and continue their recovery from a disastrous run of results.

Goals from Shkodran Mustafi, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan were enough to secure a fairly comfortabl­e 3-0 win over Watford, who had a second-half Troy Deeney penalty saved by Petr Cech.

In yesterday’s other game Harry Kane gave Tottenham and England an injury scare after limping off the field in the first half of Spurs’ clash at Bournemout­h.

Kane stayed on the floor after a collision with Bournemout­h goalkeeper Asmir Begovic in Spurs’ 4-1 win that lifted them to third in the table.

Marcus Rashford scored twice as Manchester United beat Liverpool 2-1 at Old Trafford to cement second place.

Rashford, starting in the Premier League for the first time since Boxing Day, opened the scoring on 14 minutes after latching onto Romelu Lukaku’s knockdown from a long clearance by David De Gea.

The Belgium forward again had a hand in the second on 24 minutes, playing in Juan Mata before the ball broke to Rashford, whose shot took a slight deflection as United doubled their lead.

Liverpool fought back in the second half, reducing the deficit on 66 minutes when Eric Bailly sliced Sadio Mane’s cross into his own net at the near post.

United, though, held off their rivals to move five clear of the Reds and 13 behind leaders Manchester City.

At the other end of the table, there were disturbanc­es among the home fans at the London Stadium where West Ham lost 3-0 against Burnley.

Bottom club West Brom took an early lead against Leicester before eventually losing 4-1 at The Hawthorns.

Newcastle dispatched Southampto­n 3-0 at St James’ Park to move away from the drop zone.

Everton ended Brighton’s recent good run with a 2-0 win at Goodison Park and Chelsea beat relegation-battlers Crystal Palace 2-1 at Stamford Bridge.
