Southampton 0 - 0 Swansea: Fifteen minutes into first half, and it's nil-nil at St. Mary's. Saints enjoying better possession, but Swans have got two targets, one of which was on target.

Mourinho's United suffered back-to-back defeats in the league. In the Manchester derby, last week, they were undone by City.
For Watford, it's a great win considering how suffered a league double blow last season to United.
United have now dropped six points in two matches, and are now sixth in the table. Watford have moved to eighth.
