Raheem Sterling scored a dramatic late winner to help Manchester City beat Southampton 2-1 at the Etihad on Wednesday night and set a new club record of 12 Premier League wins in a row.
City opened the scoring thanks to Kevin De Bruyne's driven free-kick which somehow made its way into the back of the net 77 seconds after half-time.
However, Southampton midfielder Oriol Romeu's composed finish levelled matters 15 minutes from time, only for the home side to snatch all three points with the last kick of the game when Sterling curled home an exquisite winner.
Arsenal 5-0 Huddersfield:
Mesut Ozil put in a starring performance as a blistering second-half display from Arsenal saw them enjoy a 5-0 win over Huddersfield at the Emirates.
Alexandre Lacazette handed Arsenal an early lead (3) but the hosts failed to add to their lead before the break.
Huddersfield had chances to level, but three goals in five minutes put the game beyond the visitors, with Olivier Giroud (68) and Alexis Sanchez (69) scoring from Ozil assists before the German added a fourth himself (72).
Stoke 0-3 Liverpool
Substitute Mohamed Salah scored twice as Liverpool comfortably beat Stoke 3-0 at the bet365 Stadium in the Premier League on Wednesday.
Sadio Mane gave Liverpool the lead (17) with a neat finish from Dominic Solanke's set-up, but later in the first half Stoke felt Simon Mignolet should have been sent off rather than booked for taking out Mame Biram Diouf on the edge of the box.
Stoke had two clear chances to equalise through former Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen in the second half, but Liverpool rounded off the win through substitute Salah's fine volley (77) and neat finish (83) after coming on in the 67th minute.
Watford 2-4 Man Utd (Tuesday)
Ashley Young scored two superb goals before Manchester United held off a second-half Watford fightback to win 4-2 at Vicarage Road in the Premier League.
Young gave United the lead against the run of play with a fine half volley from 20 yards (19), before the former Watford midfielder struck again, this time a superb 25-yard free-kick into the top left corner (25).
It was 3-0 minutes later through Anthony Martial's stroked finish, but United stepped off the gas in the second half, allowing Troy Deeney to pull one back from the penalty spot (77).
Abdoulaye Doucoure poked home (84) to seemingly make for a nervy ending, but Jesse Lingard's solo strike (86), a contender for goal of the season so far, made sure of the three points.
The result means United have closed the gap to leaders Man City to five points before their clash with Southampton on Wednesday. Watford stay eighth, two points off the top six.
Young opened the scoring with a fierce snapshot on the half volley from the edge of the box from Lingard's pass, the ball flying into the bottom corner past Heurelho Gomes.
