Meanwhile in Scotland ...

A team that is capable of getting knocked out of the Europa League by Luxembourg minnows Progrès Niederkorn is capable of anything, but Josh Windass bagged a hat-trick as Rangers avoided embarrassment against Fraserburgh from the Highnland League in their Scottish Cup fourth round tie.

Scottish Premiership: Hibernian 2-1 Motherwell, Ross County 2-4 Aberdeen.

Full time: Stoke City 0-0 Watford

Stuart James from the Guardian drew the short straw, not that he’s complaining ... much.

Some goalless draws are much better than the scoreline suggests. And then there are others where... Stoke 0-0 Watford FT

Full time: Manchester City 3-0 West Brom

Despite being down to the bare bones, Manchester City’s impoverished churchmice extended their lead at the top of the table to a mere 15 points.

Full time: Tottenham Hotspur 2-0 Manchester United

Christian Eriksen’s opener after 11 seconds was overshadowed by a highly comical Phil Jones own goal, as Spurs prompted no end of “Lads, it’s Manchester United” jokes on Twitter.

GOAL! Manchester City 3-0 West Brom

Sergio Aguero is played in by Raheem Sterling and lifts the ball over Ben Foster to make it 3-0 to Manchester City, moments after Dean Sturridge had squandered a chance to open his account for West Brom after coming on as a substitute.

Theo Walcott takes the acclaim for #efc with his goals but the night belonged to Seamus Coleman, superb display and fought to the end. Heartfelt salute to the Gwladys St after the final whistle.

More from St James’s Park: Burnley’s equaliser against Newcastle has been chalked up as a Karl Darlow own goal.

Full time: Everton 2-1 Leicester

Theo Walcott scored twice to consign Leicester, who were without Riyad Mahrez but scored through Jamie Vardy, to defeat.

Newcastle are also forced to settle for a point from a match in which Joselu missed a first half penalty.

Very weird goings-on at Wembley

Having brought on Marouane Fellaini and Juan Mata for Jesse Lingard and Paul Pogba less than 10 minutes ago, Jose Mourinho has just hooked Fellaini and replaced him with Ander Herrera. He speaks to Fellaini as he leaves the pitch, but the player removes his shirt and heads down the tunnel looking very unhappy indeed. Originally, Mourinho was going to replace him with Marcus Rashford, but then had a complete change of mind. It remains Tottenham 2-0 Manchester United with 17 minutes to go. Follow it here ...

GOAL! Newcastle 1-1 Burnley

Another goal from a set-piece. A Burnley corner is swung into the box, Ashley Barnes gets the flick-on and Sam Vokes heads home. It’s all square at St James’ Park.

GOAL! Everton 2-1 Leicester

Was a certain Leicester No25 named Wilf fouled in the Everton penalty area? Yes Ndidi. From the penalty spot, Jamie Vardy sends Jordan Pickford the wrong way to pull a goal back for Leicester City.

GOAL! Newcastle 1-0 Burnley

Leading by example, Jamaal Lascelles leaps to power a header past Nick Pope, rising highest to convert a Kenedy corner. Newcastle’s new loan signing from Chelsea provides the assist, who has been very impressive.

GOAL! Southampton 1-1 Brighton

Jack Stephens scores his second goal for Southampton with a mis-kick to convert a delivery from James Ward-Prowse. It’s a fluke, but they all count.
