Manchester Utd 0- Burnley 2
Referee Jon Moss
The opening goal was scored by Woods from a free kick taken from the incorrect position. The referee awarded free-kick inside the Burnley half. It was taken ten yards forward.
The pre-match instructions of referees regard defensive free kicks “lets get on with the game”, but attacking free-kicks the ball needs to be placed to the blade of grass.”
The second goal was a terrific strike by Burnley’s Rodriguez First win for Burnley at Old Trafford in 62 years
Leicester City 4 v West Ham Utd 1
Ref David Coote
Leicester scored the opening goal through a strike by Jones. VAR check was quick and decisive. Vardy off with an injury and Ricardo scored Leicester’s second Coote in a great position to correctly award a penalty kick again checked by VAR. I don’t know why it was not a serious and obvious error David Coote once again covered a dynamic sprint to be in a great position to award a penalty kick. Leicester scored a fourth This was David Cootes best performance in the Premier League and he is establishing himself in the panel.

Aston Villa 2 v Watford 1
Referee Martin Atkinson
Troy Deeney opened the scoring for Watford and really should have had a second. Mings of Villa was correctly cautioned for a reckless. Challenge Mings should have received a second yellow for a handball that stopped a promising attack. Luiz of Villa scored an equaliser.

Sheffield United 0 v Manchester City 1
Referee Lee Mason
Several excellent saves by Sheffield United goalkeeper Henderson Man City were awarded a penalty kick, but sadly the referee and VAR failed to detect that the goalkeeper left his line too early to make a save. It should have been retaken. VAR will not intervene here like protocol elsewhere, and it’s the decision of the assistant referee. We can only wonder what the pre-match instructions were regarding a keeper moving so far off their line. The winning goal from Aguero after a great pass from De Bruyne
Crystal Palace 0 v Southampton 2
Referee Andre Marriner
Redmond of Southampton opened the scoring with a terrific strike. VAR looked at a possible finger in the eye of an opponent by Zaha of Palace but decided no offence Early in the second half Armstrong scores a second for the away team
