Much had been made of the unbeaten runs of City, Liverpool and Chelsea but Spurs had, quietly, made an impressive start to their own campaign and were at their brilliant best at a raucous Wembley. Substitute Olivier Giroud added a late consolation for Chelsea but Spurs' win moved them on to 30 points, now two points clear of their London rivals. Sane's double along with goals from David Silva and Raheem Sterling helped Man City record their eighth consecutive victory. Worryingly for the rest of the league, City manager Pep Guardiola felt his side could have played much better. Jamie Vardy netted his first goal since September as 10-man Leicester City secured a 1-1 draw with Brighton & Hove Albion.
