End of 2nd Half
FT
Manchester United 3-0 Watford Peep peep! An excellent win for United, who jump to fifth in the league as a result. Bruno Fernandes was inspirational and played a part in all three goals. He scored the first, having won the penalty himself, and set up spectacular goals for Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood. Thanks for following the match with us - we'll have commentary on Arsenal v Everton shortly.

GOAL! Man Utd 3-0 Watford (Greenwood) Mason Greenwood scores a spectacular goal! He collected a return pass from Fernandes on the edge of the area, moved the ball onto his left foot and, with scarcely any backlift, hit a savage rising drive that beat Foster and flew into the net off the underside of the bar.
