Watford 4-1 Manchester United, Newcastle 3-3 Brentford and more – as it happened

That’s it for today’s clockwatch, and what an eventful one it was: six games, three new managers, 23 goals and one almighty shambles. Don’t forget to join Scott Murray for Liverpool v Arsenal. Night!

Watford 4-1 Man Utd

Aston Villa 2-0 Brighton

Norwich 2-1 Southampton

Here’s the updated Premier League table. Wolves have sneaked up to sixth after that victory over West Ham.

Phew. After a frantic couple of hours, these are the final scores in the Premier League.

• Aston Villa 2-0 Brighton
• Burnley 3-3 Crystal Palace
• Newcastle 3-3 Brentford
• Norwich 2-1 Southampton
• Watford 4-1 Man Utd (yep)
• Wolves 1-0 West Ham

That’s a really good win for Wolves, who are quietly having an excellent season. Raul Jimenez’s winning goal was superb, cracked into the corner from the edge of the area.

Watford have thumped Manchester United, who had Harry Maguire sent off at 2-1 for a frankly hilarious piece of defending. It’s over now, surely.

F-O-U-R.

Two late goals, the first a peach from Ollie Watkins, gives Steven Gerrard victory in his first game as Aston Villa manager.

A belting game at Turf Moor ends level.

Norwich come from behind to win their first game under Dean Smith. Two games ago everyone assumed they were relegated; now they’re three points from safety.

It’s all over! The substitute Joao Pedro completes a memorable win for Watford against an admittedly ludicrous Manchester United.

It’s been a pretty good day for the new managers. Steven Gerrard and Dean Smith are winning, while Eddie Howe’s Newcastle have shared six goals with Brentford in a humdinger at St James’ Park.

Villa are going to win their first game under Steven Gerrard! Tyrone Mings has doubled down on Ollie Watkins’ goal, and Brighton aren’t going to score twice in injury time.

The first Villa goal under Steven Gerrard! It’s a peach, too, curled extravagantly into the net by Ollie Watkins. (Apparently, I haven’t actually seen it so I’m paraphrasing Paul Merson on Sky Sports.)

Newcastle 3-3 Brentford Joelinton has missed a great chance to give Newcastle the lead after an electric surge from Allan Saint-Maximin.

Watford 2-1 Man Utd I wish somebody would invent technology that allows us to hear an internal monologue, specifically Roy Keane’s at the precise moment he saw Harry Maguire get sent off.

Newcastle 3-3 Brentford The third Brentford goal, originally credited to Frank Onyeka, has now gone down as a Jamaal Lascelles own goal.

Grant Hanley has headed Norwich into the lead at Carrow Road! Dean Smith is 10 minutes away from a victory in his first game as manager. More important, it would move Norwich to within three points of 17th-placed Leeds.

Liverpool v Arsenal is the late game, and the team news is in.

Watford 2-1 Man Utd Since coming back from injury at Leicester a month ago, Harry Maguire has had a rare old stinker. The mistakes that he led to his red card today were alarmingly brainless.

Dundee United 0-0 Aberdeen “No goals yet but plenty drama at Tannadice, Rob, with both sides down to 10 men,” says Simon McMahon. “United’s Butcher was shown a straight red for schoolboy nonsense, and Aberdeen’s Ojo received a second yellow after a confrontation with a fan (not me). All good fun.”

Watford 2-1 Man Utd Oh dear. Harry Maguire, who was booked earlier in the half, has been given a second yellow card. He faffed on the ball, was robbed by Tom Cleverley and then compounded his error with a desperate lunge.

Watford 2-1 Man Utd I’ve just seen van de Beek’s goal, which was well made by Sancho and Ronaldo. Sancho hammered a cross to the far post, which Ronaldo headed back across the six-yard box to give van de Beek an open goal.

Watford 2-1 Man Utd Comebacks have been one of the biggest features of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s time as United manager, and all of a sudden his team look in the mood for another. Cristiano Ronaldo has just forced an excellent save from Ben Foster after a nice through ball from Donny van de Beek. It won’t be a shock if United win this game 3-2. Mind you, with the way they have defended recently it won’t be much of a shock if they lose 5-1.

A deserved lead for Wolves. Nelson Semedo’s cutback is finished majestically by Raul Jimenez, who really is starting to get back to his best.

“Surely one of the weirdest aspects of the drama at Old Trafford has been the strange reluctance of Solskjaer to give van de Beek a decent run in the side?” says Rick Harris. “I mean the lad came through the Ajax academy and United’s big and glaringly obvious lack of defensive ability in midfield and tendency to give the ball away cheaply surely can’t be any worse with Donny in there?”

Rightly or wrongly I don’t think they see him as a central midfield, except in emergencies.

A blistering hit from Maxwel Cornet brings Burnley level again in a pulsating match at Turf Moor.

The substitute Donny van de Beek heads Manchester United back into the game at Vicarage Road!

“I felt sure Mary Waltz was going to serve us up with Man Utd being lucky to have nil!” weeps Ian Copestake. “There’s always the second half, though, for Ronaldo to secure that for them.”

Watford 2-0 Man Utd Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has made two half-time substitutions. Anthony Martial and Donny van de Beek are on Rashford and McTominay.

Peep peep! The second halves are under way.

“The United game is certainly a beezer: they’re 2-0 down and their keeper has already saved two penalties,” says Justin Kavanagh.

When Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spoke about recapturing United’s history, I don’t think he had Ipswich 1980 in mind.

“I have seen some pretty dreadful performances by this Manchester United team, but the level of ineptitude in the last 45 minutes is sad to watch,” says Nigel Njanina. “Solksjaer just sits and watches. I think he probably also realises this is beyond him now.”

Yeah, he’s many things but he’s not an idiot. He’s waiting for a payoff, and you can’t blame him for that.
