Dier opened the scoring for Tottenham inside the first 10 minutes, and as shared by B/R Football, the goal had been a long time coming:

The England international pounced on a loose ball inside the box after a cross was headed into the danger zone by Davinson Sanchez.

Joe Ralls was sent off for one of the most blatant fouls you'll see all season, a senseless lunge on Lucas Moura while the ball was nowhere near the Brazilian. 

Richarlison added to his total for Everton in the first half against Leicester, but the Brazilian had compatriot Bernard to thank. The trickster did all of the hard work with some incredible dribbling, per sportswriter Adam Jones: 

Ricardo Pereira tied things up before Wes Morgan got himself sent off for a second bookable offence. Gylfi Sigurdsson regained the lead for the Toffees.

Christian Kabasele was also sent off in Bournemouth's easy win over Watford, and as shared by HLN's Kristof Terreur, the Belgian has struggled to keep things clean of late:

With the advantage, the Cherries ran riot, as Joshua King bagged a brace and Callum Wilson added to the lead. David Brooks had opened the scoring.

United manager Jose Mourinho was under real pressure in Saturday's late fixture. According to David McDonnell at the Mirror, The Special One will be sacked after the match, but that report has since been denied:

His team fell behind by two goals in the opening stages as Kenedy and Yoshinori Muto took advantage of defensive miscues. The lead held until half-time, and Mourinho's United career appeared over.

Juan Mata and Anthony Martial tied things up after the break, however, setting Alexis Sanchez up to grab a late winner.

Per Squawka Football, he was an unlikely scorer in that situation:

Entering the international break, the Chilean may have saved Mourinho's skin.
