Premier League: Manchester United see off Watford, Spurs lose

Tuesday in the Premier League.

Former Hornets winger, Ashley Young, opened scoring with a quickfire brace within the first 24 minutes of the clash at Vicarage Road.

Anthony Martial added a third for Jose Mourinho’s side, as they established a strong lead going into the break.

However, Watford netted twice late in the second half, thanks to Tory Deeney’s penalty and Abdoulaye Doucoure’s strike.
