Recap

Spurs dominated their contest with Arsenal from start to finish, with the Gunners rarely threatening going forward and struggling at the back.

Dele Alli and Christian Eriksen should have scored in the first half—Alli headed wide when presented with an open goal three yards out, while Eriksen volleyed a rebound on to the crossbar.

The pair made amends after 55 minutes, when Alli tapped in a rebound from Eriksen after the pair linked up well on the right-hand side of the penalty area.

Harry Kane then quickly took his tally to 21 league strikes for the season, winning and netting a penalty just three minutes later after Gabriel Paulista carelessly stuck a leg out and brought him down.

Football writer Andrew Gaffney hopes the result will signify a long-term power shift in north London:

It took until the 66th minute for Chelsea to make the breakthrough against a resilient Everton side at Goodison Park, but the Blues opened the scoring in style when Pedro fired in a thunderbolt from 25 yards.

Gary Cahill capitalised on some poor defending from a free-kick for Chelsea's second before Willian tapped in a Cesc Fabregas pass to seal the win. 

Squawka Football hailed Cahill's contribution:

United were held to their 10th Premier League draw at Old Trafford this season as they put in a frustrating performance against the Swans, who fully deserved their point.

The Red Devils took the lead with the last kick of the first half when Wayne Rooney converted a dubious penalty won by Marcus Rashford, who was already on his way down before goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski made contact.

Gylfi Sigurdsson earned the visitors a draw with a sublime free-kick deep in the second half, while United also had to rue injuries to Eric Bailly and Luke Shaw.

Football writer Liam Canning was unimpressed with their performance:

City fared no better when they travelled to the Riverside Stadium. The Sky Blues struggled with a 3-4-1-2 formation in the first half and went in 1-0 down at the break after Alvaro Negredo finished off a rapid counter-attack on 38 minutes.

The introductions of Leroy Sane and Raheem Sterling soon after the restart sparked City into life, though they benefited from some good fortune, as the former was awarded a controversial penalty, per Goal's Sam Lee:

Sergio Aguero scored the spot-kick, but City were behind again thanks to Calum Chambers' scrappy second as Boro capitalised on some poor defending.

The Sky Blues secured a draw through the previously ineffectual Gabriel Jesus, who rose to head home an Aguero cross in the 85th minute.
