Woodwork!
Danny Ings looks to profit in the Southampton box after a nice Pierr-Emile Hojbjerg pass, and Andre Gomes' tackle inadvertently takes the ball against the post.
Watford 0-0 Burnley, 45 minutes
Outstanding stop from Tom Heaton, instinctively blocking Troy Deeley's shot.
Half-time at Anfield, too, where Andros Townsend's goal has given Crystal Palace the lead.
Southampton on top, but goalless between the Saints and Everton so far.
Paul Pogba's penalty and Marcus Rashford's excellent second have Manchester United well on their way to another win against Brighton.
A huge game at the bottom, and Newcastle lead at St James' Park, Fabian Schar finishing well and scoring the only goal of the half.
