Troy Deeney’s last-gasp own goal
handed Manchester United a dramatic
2-1 win over Watford in Saturday’s
Premier League clash at Vicarage Road.

Deeney, attempting to keep the ball
out on the goal line, went from hero
to villain as he turned in Bastian
Schweinsteiger’s effort from an angle
after the striker had equalised for
Watford from the spot just three
minutes before.

Memphis Depay scored United’s
opener in the 11th minute, turning
home Ander Herrera’s cross, before
David de Gea pulled off a world-class
save to deny Almen Abdi an
equaliser in the second half.

Watford equalised with three minutes
remaining through Deeney’s penalty
after Odion Ighalo was brought
down by Marcos Rojo, the first goal
United had conceded in nearly 11
hours of football in all competitions,
but United earned all three points in
the 90th minute.

The result leaves Louis van Gaal’s
side firmly in the title race with a
third of the season gone, and extends
their unbeaten run to five in the
Premier League.
