Recap
Kane couldn't have picked a better time to break his scoreless spell, handing Spurs the lead against Arsenal in the second half, but he and his team-mates couldn't cling on to their lead, as Sanchez got his name on the scoresheet to salvage a point for the Gunners.
Per WhoScored.com, Kane hadn't scored in any match since Tottenham's 2-1 win over Manchester City, but he was on point on Saturday. The 22-year-old scored a wonderful goal, curling the ball past David Ospina from a nearly impossible angle for Tottenham's second.
Toby Alderweireld found the back of the net to draw Spurs level in the first place, helping his side get back into the game after Aaron Ramsey's opener.
The hosts had plenty of chances to put Arsenal away after Kane's goal, and the England international was disappointed not to have won the match, per Spurs' official Twitter account:
Francis Coquelin was sent off for the visitors after 55 minutes, handing Spurs a major advantage in the second half, and while a draw is still a solid result for manager Mauricio Pochettino's men, it's easy to see why Tottenham were hoping for more.
Arsenal battled hard to work their way back into the match, however, which made for a highly entertaining second half.
TV personality and Arsenal fan Piers Morgan was happy with what the team showed after Coquelin's dismissal:
Aguero added to his tally with a brace in Manchester City's routine 4-0 win over Aston Villa, although the Argentina international could have had more. Having already scored twice, Aguero was handed the opportunity to complete his hat-trick from 12 yards out, but he hit the post with his penalty.
Bleacher Report UK couldn't believe it:
Incredibly enough, something similar happened to another leading contender for this year's scoring title, as Lukaku also scored and missed a penalty in Everton's 2-3 loss against West Ham United.
The Toffees took the lead through the Belgian before compatriot Kevin Mirallas got sent off, but even down to 10 men, Everton continued to impress. Aaron Lennon doubled their lead after half-time, before Lukaku had his penalty saved by Adrian.
That proved to be a costly miss, as Michail Antonio, Diafra Sakho and Dimitri Payet all scored in the final 15 minutes to turn the match on its head.
With their goals, Lukaku, Kane and Aguero all moved closer to top scorer Jamie Vardy, who failed to find the net in Leicester's 1-0 win over Watford. Riyad Mahrez did, handing the Foxes three pivotal points in the title race.
Youngster Bertrand Traore scored to put Chelsea's 1-0 up against Stoke City. Per Squawka Football, the forward has been in excellent form of late:
Chelsea couldn't hold on to their lead, however, as Mame Biram Diouf scored an equaliser for Stoke five minutes before the final whistle to make it 1-1.
Elsewhere, Bournemouth beat Newcastle United 3-1, and Southampton and Sunderland shared the spoils in a 1-1 draw. Meanwhile, Swansea City beat Norwich City 1-0 thanks to a goal from Gylfi Sigurdsson.
