Here is what happened in Saturday’s 3pm kick-offs in the\u00a0Premier League…<\/p>\n

Arsenal\u00a01-0 Newcastle<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Arsenal returned to winning ways but had\u00a0Mesut Ozil\u00a0to thank for scoring a wonderful winner as they toiled against out-of-form Newcastle.<\/p>\n

Having taken just two points from their last three games, Gunners boss\u00a0Arsene Wenger\u00a0could not have wished for a better game in which to register a first Premier League win of the month.<\/p>\n

But the performance in a tight 1-0 victory over the Magpies was met with incredulity from pockets of the home fans, with the likes of\u00a0Alexis Sanchez\u00a0and the recalled Alexandre Lacazette struggling to make an impact once again.<\/p>\n

The winner came at the midway point of the first half. Sanchez’s strike was blocked by DeAndre Yedlin with the headed clearance then dropping to Ozil, whose controlled volley was weighted perfectly to beat Rob Elliot in the Newcastle goal.<\/p>\n

Newcastle remain without a league victory since October 21 and their slide into the relegation battle continued despite a determined showing here, with profligate finishing their main issue.<\/p>\n

Brighton 0-0\u00a0Burnley<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Glenn Murray squandered a first-half penalty as Brighton’s winless run stretched to seven games with a goalless draw against high-flying Burnley.<\/p>\n

Albion dominated for long spells at the Amex Stadium but their search for a first Premier League victory since the start of November goes on after Murray blazed his 36th-minute spot-kick high over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

Anthony Knockaert had earlier rattled the woodwork for the Seagulls, while Sean Dyche’s Clarets could have won it late on through Chris Wood as they missed a chance to move to fourth in the table.<\/p>\n

Chelsea\u00a01-0\u00a0Southampton<\/strong><\/p>\n

Marcos Alonso’s pinpoint free-kick\u00a0earned\u00a0Chelsea victory over Southampton.<\/p>\n

The Spanish full-back curled a stunning 30-yard effort past goalkeeper Fraser Forster and into the net in first-half stoppage time.<\/p>\n

The Blues could have added to their tally but Pedro hit a post and\u00a0Eden Hazard\u00a0had a goal disallowed for offside.<\/p>\n

Chelsea have now won eight of their last 10 league matches, including five in a row at Stamford Bridge.<\/p>\n

Watford\u00a01-4 Huddersfield<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Aaron Mooy’s double helped Huddersfield secure only their second away win of the season.<\/p>\n

Elias Kachunga and Mooy put Huddersfield two goals to the good at Vicarage Road before Troy Deeney was sent off for a dangerous lunge on Colin Quaner.<\/p>\n

Laurent Depoitre added a third for the visitors shortly after half-time only for Watford to threaten a comeback when Huddersfield’s\u00a0Jonathan Hogg\u00a0was shown a second yellow card and Abdoulaye Doucoure reduced the deficit with a sweet half-volley.<\/p>\n

Doucoure, however, then turned villain by fouling Depoitre in the box late on and Mooy banged in his second – and\u00a0Huddersfield’s fourth –\u00a0from the penalty spot to cap a thrilling victory.<\/p>\n

Leicester City 0-3\u00a0Crystal Palace<\/strong>
\nEarlier in the day, Crystal Palace continued their resurgence under Roy Hodgson by beating\u00a0Leicester City\u00a0at the King Power Stadium.<\/p>\n
