a vital three points for manchester united and ole gunnar solskjaer. the gunnar solskjaer. a first defeat as spurs manager for the special one. marcus rashford, how would you describe that performance? the best he has had under me. mature, experienced, strong, against a good team, against good players, and his penalty was calm and composed. the goal. we know he has strikes in him like this and he had three or four other chances, so a great performance. it is a setback against a team that plays with the same objective as we do. i think the first objective is to come up in the table, the second one is to try to get in the top six, which we are not far. as i was saying to the players, we made mistakes, it is not to be crying on them, it isjust to learn from them, and we have a difficult match on saturday. elsewhere, tammy abra ham and mason mount helped chelsea beat aston villa 2—1. leicester are back up to second with a 2—0 win over managerless and bottom of the table watford. it's now seven straight wins in the league for leicester. southampton held on

nigel pearson's team hadn't won at home since april, and against manchester united, first seemed littletely drab first 45 minutes. just after the break, how is this for a howler? calamity for united keeper david de gea, as the shot somehow squirmed through his fingers. it simply got worse with every replay, and it would soon get even worse for united. a terrible challenge, and from the penalty spot, troy deeney calmly doubled watford's lead, that long—awaited victory within their sights. united brought on paul pogba, his first appearance in three months, but there was nothing he or his team—mates could do as the hosts kept them at bay. a deeply disappointing day for united, but for watford, at last, something to celebrate, a potentially pivotal win for their survival hopes. plenty then for 0le gunnar solskjaer to think about — they've won just six games in the league this season, and only two of those away from home. we didn't deserve to win the game by the way we performed. we were too slow in possession, too slow, no intensity without the ball, and when they scored two in quick succes
