Same manager, similar players, same result. The familiar pattern played out again. Tottenham had a lead and Tottenham lost the lead and the result is that the gap to the top four is now six points.
Chelsea were a goal ahead when Thiago Silva was given his marching orders, which saw their lead unravel as goals from Mattheus Pereira, Callum Robinson and Mbaye Diagne sealed West Brom's comeback.
Chelsea are growing more accomplished with every outing. Thomas Tuchel has transformed their mentality with and without the ball and his latest tactical tweak in attack worked perfectly.
The disparity has been difficult to explain. Harry Kane’s numbers have been phenomenal for Tottenham this season: he is the joint top scorer in the Premier League and the outright leader in assists.
Can anyone halt the Manchester City juggernaut? Pep Guardiola’s side benefited from another show of excellence by Ilkay Gündogan, who scored twice, for a 16th consecutive win in a supreme team performance.
Erik Lamela's remarkable Rabona goal gave Tottenham the lead at the Emirates, only for a Martin Odegaard strike and Alexandre Lacazette's penalty to give Arsenal the win.
Gareth Bale puts Tottenham 1-0 up against Burnley in the second minute.
Will anybody stop Manchester City now? With the sky blue juggernaut in historic form, it feels extremely unlikely.
