Saturday was derby day in the Premier League and while the north London derby produced drama aplenty, the Merseyside derby was short of exciteme
It was derby day in the Premier League on Saturday and ultimately, Tottenham fans are the only ones to come away from their respective derby with a smile on their face.
Spurs came from a goal down to beat local rivals Arsenal at White Hart Lane, as Harry Kane continued his charge towards an England call-up by bagging a brace.
On Merseyside, it was a dour affair with neither Everton or Liverpool managing to score, nor ever really looking likely to do so.
But there was a first Premier League start for young Jordon Ibe for the Reds, and his performance was unquestionably the standout showing on the night.
Chelsea extended their lead at the top of the league to seven points, winning 2-1 at Aston Villa despite being pegged back by their hosts early in the second half.
Manchester City relied on a 92nd minute James Milner free-kick to get a point at home to Hull - who almost snatched a victory despite only having 26 per cent possession at the Etihad.
Southampton further strengthened their Champions League qualification credentialswith a 1-0 win at Queens Park Rangers. Sadio Mane scored the winner deep into stoppage time for the Saints.
