Clean Sheets
Clean sheets were very much in fashion with six teams managing to produce defensive master classes. Manchester United almost made that a complete seven sweep but Abdoulaye Doucouré pulled one back for Watford in the 90th minute.
Marcus Rashford On Target
Nearly 75,000 turned up at Old Trafford to witness Marcus Rashford score in the 28th minute of Ole Gunnar Solskjær first game as officially in charge of Manchester United. Fitting as Rashford could be the man to fire United forward for the next ten years.
- Manchester City – Settled this one on 27 minutes.
- Southampton – Took control of most of this game and join Brighton on 33 points.
- Burnley – Needed this result and join Brighton and Southampton on 33 points.
- Crystal Palace – Another home penalty helps relegate Huddersfield.
- Leicester – First Premier League win in eight attempts against Bournemouth.
- Manchester United – The new era has begun.
- Everton. Move above West Ham in mid-table safety.
