SOCCER
West Ham and their manager David Moyes have drawn criticism for playing Kurt Zouma in last night's Premier League game against Watford.
Zouma was filmed kicking and slapping his cat at the weekend.
West Ham won the match 1-0.
Moyes was asked after the game if there was a moral dimension to the affair:
Big three points tonight ✊

Paul Pogba's first half goal was not enough for Manchester United, who were held to a 1-1 draw by bottom club Burnley.
It's a result which sees United slip out of the Champions League places.

A Kieran Trippier free kick was the highlight as Newcastle moved out of the bottom three.

That's also the start time for the matches involving Tottenham Hotspur and Southampton and Norwich City and Crystal Palace.
