LONDON (Reuters) - The following are three talking points from the weekend's Premier League games:
Arsenal did not play this weekend -- with their league opponents Manchester City busy lifting a third consecutive League Cup at Wembley -- but their fans had reason to cheer when Liverpool suffered a 3-0 defeat at Watford.
The Anfield club's unbeaten run was snapped at 44 games, falling five short of Arsenal's record of 49 unbeaten matches 16 years ago. De Gea gifted Everton the lead in the third minute when he smashed his delayed clearance into the incoming Dominic Calvert-Lewin and the ball flew into the net -- drawing the ire of ex-United captain Roy Keane on Sky Sports who said he wanted the Spaniard"lynched".
De Gea, who improved as the game wore on and made a crucial late save, has Solskajer's trust but Dean Henderson could be challenging him next season following a successful loan spell at Sheffield United.Bottom side Norwich City had reason to celebrate when they beat third-placed Leicester City on Friday to close the gap on those above them but their joy was short-lived as both West Ham United and Watford climbed out of the relegation zone.
