    "That is the best goal I have seen this season. To do that takes some technique. He knew exactly what he was doing, it is absolutely sublime."

    "It's terrific bravery. He starts with his back to goal and then scrambles his way past three Tottenham shirts before poking past Lloris. Strength, power and determination. The Deeney and Ighalo partnership has carried Watford forward this season."

    Xherdan Shaqiri (45 mins)

    Superb stuff! A beautiful, flighted ball is played by Bojan over the defence for Xherdan Shaqiri, who clips a first time effort over the goalkeeper and into the net.

    Forget Barcelona, Stokealona are in full flow today.

    Final Score

    Jason Mohammad brings us the news that Sir Alex Ferguson has arrived at Old Trafford and entered the ground via the players' and manager entrance.

    As Jason says "Read into that what you will."

    Everton 1-1 Stoke

    No chances of note as half-time approaches. 

    Seamus Coleman has just had a decent shout for a penalty denied, with replays suggesting he might have had his shirt tugged inside the box.

    Norwich 1-0 Aston Villa

    Jordan Veretout is a Vere lucky boy to still be on the pitch.

    The Frenchman loses possession of the ball and jumps in two-footed on Alex Tettey. He catches the Norwegian international on the shin, but the referee deems it only a yellow card offence.

    Who else? Odion Ighalo brings a high ball under control, bursts through the defence and finishes confidently for his 14th goal of the season. On fire.

    Watford 0-1 Tottenham

    Tottenham striker Harry Kane decides to have a go from 25 yards but it is a shocker, flying high and wide. 

    Erik Lamela isn't happy and he lets his team-mate know. He was in a good position to be fair.

  16. CLOSE!published at 15:39

    Norwich 1-0 Aston Villa

    This one is straight from the training ground. It's almost a second for Norwich.

    Graham Dorrans waits for a corner, with his starting position on the edge of the box, before making a dart to the front post.

    He can't get his first time finish right though, side-footing wide of goal.

    Aston Villa not really looking like they're getting back into this game, they don't look like staying in the Premier League at the end of this season either.

    West Brom 0-0 Newcastle

    Daryl Janmaat owes Karl Darlow a pint later. 

    The Newcastle fullback slices a clearance horribly and his goalkeeper spares his blushes by punching over his own bar, handing West Brom their ninth corner of the game.

    How is this game still goalless?

    Watford 0-1 Tottenham

    David Pleat
    Former Tottenham boss on BBC Radio 5 live

    "It has worked so far for Tottenham, however I feel their back three are slightly shaky up against Deeney and Ighalo's movement and running."
