After Man City beat Stoke in the early game, here\u2019s what happened at 2pm\u2026<\/p>\n
Burnley 2-0\u00a0Liverpool<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n The striker then slipped the ball to Vokes who rattled it in from 18 yards and Gray made it 2-0 shortly before half-time\u00a0following a break from the hosts after Daniel Sturridge was caught in possession. Liverpool fans were not impressed by their back line.<\/p>\n Tottenham 1-0 Crystal Palace<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n Janssen had the chance of the game when put through by Dele Alli in the second half, but he put his shot wide when one-on-one with Wayne Hennessey. Then Wanyama headed home in the final 10 minutes.<\/p>\n Watford 1-2 Chelsea<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> <\/a><\/p>\n However,\u00a0the fantastic home defence could not hold out for the three points as Michy Batshuayi equalised and then Costa latched onto Cesc Fabregas’ pass.<\/p>\n Swansea 0-2 Hull<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/a> West Brom 1-2 Everton<\/strong><\/p>\n
\nSam Vokes took just two minutes to open the scoring after Andre Gray intercepted Nathaniel Clyne\u2019s careless pass.<\/p>\n
\nVictor Wanyama scored his goal for Tottenham, which proved to be the winner.\u00a0Spurs fans, though, won\u2019t have been able to work out how they were unable to score more as Harry Kane and Vincent Janssen were denied.<\/p>\n
\nDiego Costa’s name was ringing around the away end after his winning goal in the closing stages.\u00a0A resolute Watford defence gave away little in the first half and then Etienne Capoue smashed the ball home just after the restart.<\/p>\n
\nSmash and grab? Swansea fans were left frustrated\u00a0in the face of a well drilled Hull team and it was the visitors who went away with the win through\u00a0Shaun Maloney, who turned provider for\u00a0Abel Hernandez\u00a0to\u00a0ensure\u00a0it was six points from two games.<\/p>\n
