Premier League round-up: Liverpool top the table again, Watford win ‘Marco Silva derby’, Southampton in relegation zone
Here’s the best of the action from the Premier League on Saturday…

Fulham 0-3 Manchester United

In the early kick-off, Anthony Martial’s stunning solo goal and a Paul Pogba brace propelled Manchester United into the top four for the first time since the opening weekend of the season as embattled Fulham’s plight worsened.Pogba was in excellent form, scoring two goals8

An eye-watering 11 points off the Champions League spots when Jose Mourinho was sacked, caretaker manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s stunning start to life at the helm has seen them claw back that gap in style.Martial’s scintillating run and finish was the pick of the goals on a blustery afternoon at Craven Cottage, where Pogba followed his impressive opener with a second-half penalty that sealed a comfortable 3-0 win that increases the pressure on struggling Fulham.Solskjaer’s side could be usurped again by Chelsea on Sunday, but this is a big psychological boost as the Norwegian’s impressive audition for the permanent post continued with a 10th win in 11 matches in all competitions.

Crystal Palace 1-1 West Ham

Wilfried Zaha returned with a goal to secure a point for Crystal Palace to earn a 1-1 draw with West Ham.The striker, back from suspension and able to face the Hammers after appealing against an additional ban, struck 14 minutes from time to rescue a share of the spoils.Mark Noble had fired West Ham into a first-half lead from the penalty spot, but Palace were worth their point and would have equalised earlier but for an incredible miss by James McArthur.Instead it was Zaha, sent off at Southampton last week for sarcastically clapping the referee, who milked the applause with his late leveller.Zaha’s strike ensured both sides shared the spoils8

Huddersfield 1-2 Arsenal

Alex Iwobi and Alexandre Lacazette scored first-half goals as Arsenal got their top-four hopes back on track with a 2-1 win at Huddersfield.Iwobi opened the scoring with a deflected volley in the first period and Lacazette stroked home his 12th goal of the season shortly before half-time.Sead Kolasinac’s own goal in stoppage time raised a huge cheer from the Huddersfield faithful, but it was too little too late.The Gunners secured their first Premier League away win since November and kept their first clean sheet on the road this season as they moved level on points with fifth-placed Chelsea.Iwobi opened the scoring on 16 minutes8

Liverpool 3-0 Bournemouth

Liverpool answered their growing band of sceptics with a convincing 3-0 win over Bournemouth to return to the top of the table and send an unequivocal message they can handle the pressure of a title race.There was none off the lethargy and indecisiveness of the back-to-back draws against Leiester and West Ham which had to led to questions about their stomach for a fight and seen Manchester City reinstalled as title favourites.This was a return to the Liverpool of earlier in the season – full of energy, pressing relentlessly, counter-attacking quickly and deadly in front of goal.There may have been a suspicion of offside about Sadio Mane’s opener, but goals from Georginio Wijnaldum and the Premier League’s leading scorer Mohamed Salah were of top quality.

Southampton 1-2 Cardiff

Cardiff secured a vital victory in their pursuit of Premier League safety by concluding a traumatic week with a 2-1 win at Southampton thanks to Kenneth Zohore’s dramatic stoppage-time finish.Their struggle against relegation has been largely overshadowed by the confirmation of the death of their striker Emiliano Sala, whose body was this week recovered from the crashed plane that had been taking him to Cardiff, and they paid him the ultimate tribute by securing three important points.Victory crucially takes Cardiff out of the bottom three and above Southampton, who had been undefeated in the top flight since the turn of the year under their new manager Ralph Hasenhuttl.It also ensured successive top-flight victories for the Bluebirds for the first time since April 1962, and came after the hosts had already pulled level in stoppage time.Cardiff boss Neil Warnock celebrates the win8

Watford 1-0 Everton

Brighton 1-3 Burnley

In the late kick-off, Burnley responded perfectly to falling in the Premier Leagues relegation zone with a 3-1 victory at Brighton.Goals from Chris Wood, as well as Ashley Barnes penalty sealed the win for Sean Dyches men with Shane Duffy pulling a consolation goal back for the hosts.Brighton are now winless in their last six league matches and have been sucked into the relegation scrap, with Huddersfield, Fulham and Southampton currently occupying the bottom three.Burnley are now three points clear of the drop8
