Sunday Recap 

Arsenal started well at City and were 1-0 ahead after just five minutes when Theo Walcott latched on to Alexis Sanchez's ball into the penalty spot and clipped a finish past Claudio Bravo.

Arsenal's English midfielder Theo Walcott (R) vies with Manchester City's Serbian defender Aleksandar Kolarov during the English Premier League football match between Manchester City and Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, north west England, on

City had their chances to equalise before half-time—Raheem Sterling heading wide of the post and Yaya Toure forcing Petr Cech into a routine stop—but they were largely ineffective despite dominating possession.

It was a completely different story after the break as Arsenal were pushed deep from the off and looked much slower than they had in the first half. 

Leroy Sane netted the equaliser two minutes into the second period, with David Silva chipping a ball over Arsenal's defence and the German winger cutting in from the left to score.

It was Sane's first goal for the Sky Blues since his summer move to Manchester, although he was arguably in an offside position when Silva sent his pass through the middle, per AS:

Sterling then made it 2-1 in the 71st minute, cutting into the box from the right to finish well with his left foot after a wonderful cross-field ball from Kevin De Bruyne.

For Tottenham, they were down 21 minutes into their clash in north London after Ashley Barnes poked home a finish with Spurs failing to clear their lines effectively.

Dele Alli drew the hosts level just six minutes later when he turned home Kyle Walker's ball into the box.

Spurs then went ahead 19 minutes from time thanks to a brilliant Danny Rose strike and claimed all three points from a tough encounter.

Jay Rodriguez netted a double for Saints to see them to victory over south-coast rivals Bournemouth.

The Cherries went ahead after six minutes through Nathan Ake's excellent header, but a fine solo goal from Ryan Bertrand regained parity for the visitors in the 14th minute.

Rodriguez then put Saints ahead with a tap-in and produced a stunning 20-yard finish five minutes from time to seal the points for Claude Puel's men.
