Recap

Tottenham dominated the first half against Chelsea and deservedly took an early lead through Christian Eriksen, but the Blues showed their character toward the end of the period, tying things up through Pedro.

Chelsea improved mightily after the break, putting real pressure on the visitors and taking the lead through the resurgent Victor Moses. Late in the match, the better chances fell to the hosts, but there would be no more goals.

ESPN FC's Miguel Delaney was impressed:

The comeback was all the more impressive because Spurs were all over Chelsea for the bulk of the first half. Whatever manager Antonio Conte said during half-time must have worked, and it's yet another clear sign this Blues team is a legit title contender, despite working with a first-year coach.

The same can be said for Liverpool, although manager Jurgen Klopp has been in the job a little longer. The Reds played far from their best against Sunderland, but late goals from Divock Origi and James Milner secured the win.

Per the club's official Twitter account, the Belgian thought the fans played a huge role in the result:

Like Chelsea, Liverpool are playing better than most undoubtedly had expected coming into the season. Both Conte and Klopp are fantastic, highly respected coaches, but the former is working with a team that disappointed tremendously last season, and the latter was thought to have a less talented squad than the likes of Manchester City.

Per Squawka Football, that squad hasn't looked less talented than anyone in a while:

The Citizens survived a scare at Burnley, coming from behind after Dean Marney opened the score. For stretches of the match, City appeared to be headed for a disappointing result, but Sergio Aguero turned things around with a brace.

The result leaves the Sky Blues level on points with Liverpool and one behind leaders Chelsea, who will visit the Etihad Stadium in Week 14 in a match that should play a major role in the title race.

Further down the standings, Swansea and Crystal Palace served up one of the most thrilling matches of the Premier League season so far, a nine-goal spectacle that saw lead changes throughout the contest.

It was former Juventus ace Fernando Llorente who handed the hosts the win with a very late brace, bagging both of his goals after the 89th minute. Former England international Gary Lineker loved it:

The win moves Swans up to 19th place, just two points away from virtual safety. Sunderland are now in last place, but with defending champions Leicester City sitting just five points ahead of the Black Cats, the battle against relegation is wide open.
