Recap

Spurs have done an excellent job coping with Harry Kane's absence so far, and the team recorded yet another win on Saturday.

Eric Dier and Heung-Min Son took care of the scoring after the break, as Burnley put together a solid challenge but eventually fell short.

Former England international Gary Lineker wasn't sure whether Saturday's result will have an impact on the title race:

Seven points is still a significant lead for the Blues, even if Chelsea played one of their worst matches of the season on Saturday. Diego Costa missed several great chances in the 2-1 defeat, while Cesc Fabregas was the only player for the hosts to find the net.

For once, Chelsea's magnificent defence fell well short of the expectations, giving away the lead. Wilfried Zaha and Christian Benteke found the net shortly after Fabregas' opener.

Chelsea are still in pole position to win the title, but the pressure will have increased significantly, especially with what's in store. As shared by Simon Johnson of the London Evening Standard, Manchester City visit Stamford Bridge next:

Manchester United were without Paul Pogba, Juan Mata and Zlatan Ibrahimovic and predictably struggled for creativity against West Brom, playing out a drab, scoreless draw.

The best chances fell to the hosts, but overall, the 0-0 scoreline was fair. Samuel Luckhurst of the Manchester Evening News was not impressed:

Everton manager Ronald Koeman had a more positive reaction to his team after the derby defeat against Liverpool:

The Reds played with more maturity in Saturday's early match, and Sadio Mane, Divock Origi and Philippe Coutinho all found the net. Liverpool's tactical plan worked to perfection, and Everton couldn't cope with the constant movement.
