Chelsea really needed a win to really set the title race alight, but holding the leaders after playing an hour with 10 men might be quite good?
We shouldn’t have scoffed at Mikel Arteta’s ‘process’ on the way to the Premier League but we absolutely should at Thomas Frank not having one.

Spurs should not be blamed for reconsidering the future of Ange Postecoglou, while Manchester United really ought to give Ruben Amorim another think.
Oliver Glasner got into the mind of Pep Guardiola to end the major trophy drought of Crystal Palace and make a fair few people look foolish in the process.
Chelsea playmaker Cole Palmer ended his long goal drought, and deservedly so. This was his game, everyone else including Liverpool was just living in it.

It was not a classic between Manchester United and Man City but Bruno Fernandes tried his best and Pep Guardiola kept things interesting after the game.
