PIERRE-EMERICK Aubameyang fired a double as Arsenal triumphed over Burnley 3-1 at The Emirates.

The Gabon striker scored either side of half-time to put the Gunners in control before Ashley Barnes hit back on 63 minutes.

Emery said: ‘I think we controlled the match like we wanted. We had to alter our game plan but it gave us the victory.’

Southampto­n moved three points clear of the bottom three after a 3-1 win at Huddersfie­ld.

First-half goals from Nathan Redmond and Danny Ings put Saints in the driving seat but Philip Billing gave the Terriers hope of a point.

Michael Obafemi scored his first Premier League goal for Saints on 71 minutes to make the points safe.

Bournemout­h got back to winning ways as David Brooks found the net in each half to beat Brighton 2-0.

Visiting defender Lewis Dunk was sent off following a second booking on 73 minutes.

Watford picked up their first league win in two months by ending West Ham’s recent run of good form with a 2-0 victory at the London Stadium.

Troy Deeney opened the scoring from the penalty spot on the half-hour mark before Gerard Deulofeu grabbed a late second.

Newcastle and Fulham played out a 0-0 draw at St James’ Park.
