Summary
Liverpool win it late against Tottenham in a game that Jose Mourinho thought Spurs deserved to win. And a game where Curtis Jones turns in an Iniesta-ish performance.
Next up for Spurs, it’s Leicester, undone by Everton’s cupboard approach. The Toffees now host Arteta’s struggling Arsenal. We ask if Aubameyang is a suitable skipper?
It’s all change at the Hawthorns as West Brom sack Slaven Bilic and appoint Sam Allardyce. Does Big Sam offer a guarantee of survival?
Plus our favourite types of goal, different Midlands derbies, the Copa Libertadores and weasels.
