Manchester United's troubled season reached a new low after a 3-1 defeat at West Ham.

Felipe Anderson's early strike, a Victor Lindelof own-goal and Marko Arnautovic's finish left United manager Jose Mourinho increasingly feeling the heat.

The drama at Old Trafford is rapidly turning into a crisis as United equalled their worst start to a Premier League season with just 10 points from their opening seven matches.

Here's how it played out:

Arsenal 0-0 Watford

Petr Cech is carried off on a stretcher on the stroke of half time after pulling a muscle in his leg having taken a goal kick. Leno comes on and the captain's armband is handed to...Aaron Ramsey.

Half time reading

Here's Jose Mourinho moaning about referees. No it's not from 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 or 2017.

Fresh from his first match in around 18 months last week at Selhurst Park, Mike Ashley is making a rare appearance at St James' Park this afternoon. 

'Stand up if you hate Ashley' rings around the ground.

We're back

The Premier League games are back underway. We've had just four goals from six games so far, any more?

Arsenal 0-0 Watford

What a save!

Leno gets low and denies Deeney as he tries to convert a curling free kick. That's some way to mark your first Premier League appearance.

Everton 0-0 Fulham

Everton win a penalty after Odoi is judged to bring down Calvert-Lewin, the referee initially waved away the protests but the linesman gives it.

Sigurdsson steps up and slams a shot from 12 yards off the crossbar. Goodison is in a state of shock!

Everton 1-0 Fulham

Gylfi Sigurdsson makes up for his penalty miss moments ago and given Everton the lead.

It's a brilliant first time finish with his left foot to send the ball curling into the net. That's some technique from the Icelandic international.

Arsenal 0-0 Watford

Aaron Ramsey's spell as captain this afternoon is over and Alex Iwobi is on in his place, the Welshman shakes his head as he comes off, he's clearly not happy. 

Anyway....can Iwobi be the player to finally unlock Watford's defence?
