1) Southampton maintained a good high defensive line. Son, Kane, and Moura were caught offside on several occasions. Moura was too narrow in the first half not providing any width. #PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs
2) Che Adams was not particularly clinical as Ings up top missing two great opportunities to open the scoring. Djenpo created some chances and also hit the woodwork once. #PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs
3) Spurs midfield was too disorganized not being able to hold the ball and losing possession easily. Add to that Sanchez's woeful defending throughout the game meant the saints had full control of the game. #PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs
4) Eventually a sublime pass from Walker-Peters and Danny Ings clinical finish gave the Saints their much-deserved lead. A moment of brilliance by Tanguy, Kane's weighted pass for Son's equalizer in the final moments of the first half. #PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs
5) Spurs needed a creative midfielder to control the tempo of the game. Mourinho did just that by sending on Lo Celso in 2nd half.
The Fast counterattacks and brilliant link-up play between Son and Kane changed the game. #PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs
6) Two weird VAR decision again. Romeu's tackle on Hojbjerg was clear red. Doherty handball decision the ball came of Winks foot which according to the new rule should not be considered as Handball. FA needs to work on the VAR and Handball rules.#PremierLeague#SOUTOT#Spurs

Here is my 6 point breakdown #ARSWHU game. @Arsenal@WestHam.
First half : 1) Arsenal showed good organization as the team, maintaining their shape even after losing the ball at times.
2)Arsenal showed good fluidity in their passing. With Saka, Auba making the right runs on the left flank it was only a matter of time before they opened scoring. 3) Quick counter attack by @WestHam for the equalizer just before the half time.
Second half: 4) West Ham started the 2nd half very well. Antonio Bowen, Rice and Soucek pressing high up the pitch and not giving time to the Quaterlet of Holding, Gabriel, Xhaka and Ceballos who are essential to @Arsenal build up play.
Leeds have been absolute joy to watch. Here is my 4 point analysis of their performance today. #lufc#EPL
1) Leeds are fast, organized and highly energetic in their game. 2) Leeds can do quick and effective counter attack which can be seen in their last goal scored by Costa. Quick exchanges between the Meslier, Harrsion and Bamford made the goal.
3) Leeds are excellent at high pressing. They are quick to press the players with the ball. 4) Leeds high press leaves many gaps in their structure which can be easily exploited with one right pass. Fulham exploited these gaps in 2nd half.
4 reasons why James Rodriguez will be really important for Everton this season.
1) He is the focal point of most @Everton attacks. Look how the moment Allan passes the ball to James Rodriguez, Richardlison and Digne start to make their forward runs anticipating a through ball.
2) He can soak up the pressure and score important goals. He is surrounded by 4 WBA players. Yet he scores a sublime goal just before Halftime.
