Saturday Premier League wrap: The things you might have missed

Tottenham 1 - 3 Manchester City

Back to winning ways for Manchester City. The game followed a familiar pattern - strong start, alarming lull - but Guardiola's side were just good enough to beat Tottenham. Gabriel Jesus opened the scoring, racing through to put away Vincent Kompany's long-ball, before Hugo Lloris was adjudged (incorrectly) to have brought down the Brazilian in the box. 2-0, Ilkay Gundogan coverting. Christian Eriksen would pull a goal back for Spurs just short of half-time, but Raheem Sterling's close range finish secured the points. City two points away now.
