Recap

Lukaku picked a good time to end his scoreless run in the Premier League, nailing a header after a great assist from Juan Mata after 25 minutes in the difficult win over Bournemouth.

The Belgian hadn't found the net in the Premier League since November 18 and didn't celebrate after his goal, possibly in response to the criticism he has faced of late.

Conditions at Old Trafford were difficult on Wednesday due to the adverse weather, and it was anything but an easy win, per ESPN FC's Rob Dawson:

Rivals City had it a lot easier in Wales, where Aguero, David Silva―twice―and Kevin De Bruyne were all on point in a routine 4-0 win.

Swansea are the Premier League's last-placed team for a reason, and it showed against City, who were rarely troubled in midfield.

Per Jason Burt of the Telegraph, the Citizens took the controversy surrounding Sunday's post-match tussle with rivals Manchester United and ran with it:

As reported by the Independent's Luke Brown, United manager Jose Mourinho sparked an altercation between some of his players and those of City after the Sky Blues' derby win because the visitors apparently celebrated too loudly.

Tottenham's win saw them leap above Arsenal and move level with Liverpool on points. Heung-Min Son and Serge Aurier took care of the scoring against Brighton.
