1. Take a bow 'Son' and Spurs

In the Champions League match against CSKA Moscow, Mauricio Pochettino used Vincent Janssen as the striker upfront with Son being deployed on the wings. However, against Manchester City, Janssen was dropped to the bench and Son was played upfront. He pulled apart the City defence with his pace and movement, and he played a crucial role in Tottenham's second goal of the match.

2. Manchester United - still a work in progress

Three wins in a row, following three disappointing losses in a row, saw everyone too excited and phrases like “they are back” and “what a turnaround” was thrown around. However, today's match showed that they are still a work in progress, and Mourinho needs to sort out a lot of issues before they can challenge for the title.

Wayne Rooney continued his role on the bench against Stoke City, but it did not work out too well for them this time around. The home side were expected to take apart a Stoke side who were struggling at the bottom of the league table before the start of this match, especially after scoring four goals past the defending champions in the first half in their last game. United did create a lot of chances and had 9 shots on target. But a combination of some poor finishing, some brilliant saves from Lee Grant, and the crossbar which kept out Pogba's header meant that they ended up scoring just one goal in the match. That goal was canceled out by Joe Allen, who capitalized on mistakes from Daley Blind and David de Gea.

Manchester United are currently 7th in the points table and they will face Liverpool, Fenerbahce, Chelsea, and Manchester City in their next four games. It could get rough for the Red Devils.

Antonio Conte has been waiting in agony to play three center-backs, and the injuries to John Terry and Kurt Zouma had put those plans on hold. However, after the thrashing his team received at the hands of Arsenal last week, the Italian boss had to respond with a change, and he did so by changing his team's formation to 3-4-3. Despite Ivanovic's experience of playing as a center-back, Conte opted to drop the defender and instead, he played Azpilicueta in a three-man defence alongside David Luiz and Gary Cahill.

4. Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it is James Milner!

Liverpool cruised to another easy win against Swansea and remained in the mix at the top.

5. Arsenal leave it late...really late

They say that in order to win titles a team should know how to win ugly. Arsenal were not at their best against Burnley on Sunday. They created a lot of openings and yet failed to apply the finishing touch in the final third. Sanchez was once again the shining star in the team. However, despite having 18 shots, Arsenal managed to keep only 3 of them on target. But the one that counts went in, somehow. Between Ox and Laurent Koscielny, the duo managed to bundle the ball over the line via Ox's leg and Koscielny's hands. The referee did not spot the handball from the French defender before the ball went in, and Burnley were left heartbroken. It was not a typical Arsenal goal, and far off from the delightful strikes against Chelsea they produced in the last weekend. But few years back, Arsenal would drawn these games and left the pitch frustrated. Not now. This Arsenal team seem to have grit and determination about themselves which has been lacking too often in the past.

Correction : In the original article, we had erroneously mentioned that Chamberlain and Elneny started the game while they were in fact substitutions at the 71st minute.
