Saturday Recap

Watford manager Javi Gracia made seven changes to his team from Sunday's win over Leicester for the trip to the Etihad Stadium, leaving key men Troy Deeney and Gerard Deulofeu on the bench:

Manchester City went on to dominate the first half but could not find a way past Ben Foster in the visitors' goal despite carving out chances.

Sergio Aguero headed inches wide from a great cross from Bernardo Silva, while Sterling was denied by a sliding challenge from Daryl Janmaat.

But City got the breakthrough just after half-time when Sterling curled a shot past Foster from a Sergio Aguero knockdown. The strike was initially ruled out for offside, but it was given after a lengthy discussion between referee Paul Tierney and his assistant:

Replays showed Sterling was clearly offside in the move, with officials seemingly confused about whether Aguero had touched the ball to make Sterling offside. Four minutes later, City doubled their lead to compound Watford's misery.

David Silva picked out Riyad Mahrez after a jinking run, and the winger crossed for Sterling to net his second of the match:

The England international completed his hat-trick just nine minutes later, beating Janmaat and Christian Kabasele before dinking the ball over Foster:

Gracia sent on Deeney and Deulofeu in search of some attacking inspiration, and the former Barcelona man pulled one back just after the hour mark with his first touch.

The goal was as good as it got for Watford, who slip to their second defeat in three matches. 

Manchester City have now won six games in a row in the Premier League to pile the pressure back on Liverpool ahead of their game against Burnley.

Tottenham suffered their third Premier League defeat in their last four games after Southampton scored twice late on to record a memorable win.

The visitors looked set for victory after dominating the first half and opening the scoring through Kane.

The England international linked up with with Dele Alli on the midfielder's return from injury and slid the ball past goalkeeper Angus Gunn on 26 minutes for a landmark goal:

Meanwhile, Southampton rarely threatened Hugo Lloris in the Tottenham goal and did not manage a shot on target in the first 45 minutes.

Saints manager Ralph Hasenhuttl made two changes at half-time, bringing on Shane Long and Josh Sims for Charlie Austin and Oriol Romeu, and Southampton were a different team after the break.

Nathan Redmond twice hit the side-netting before Yan Valery levelled on 76 minutes. The defender pounced on a cross that Spurs left-back Danny Rose allowed to run past him and hit a scuffed shot past Lloris for his second goal in two matches.

The winner came five minutes later through a superb free-kick from James Ward-Prowse. The midfielder curled the ball past Lloris after Kyle Walker-Peters had brought down Stuart Armstrong on the edge of the box:

Manager Mauricio Pochettino offered his view after the match:

The win moves Southampton two points clear of the relegation zone, while Spurs stay in third but just three points above Manchester United, who take on Arsenal on Sunday.
