Apathy at Tottenham after insipid Man City loss but Arsenal offer glimpse of bright future vs Leeds
Manchester City will surely be crowned Premier League champions again. But what of Jose Mourinho’s Tottenham? Three goals separated the teams on the night. And the gap in the table between two of football’s great rivals is now a cavernous 17 points. To think Mourinho was being touted to mount a credible title challenge this season. Instead, he will almost certainly be left to watch on as his old adversary Guardiola reasserts his dominance of the English game. With each passing year, the rivalry between these managerial greats diminishes. In truth, it has ceased to be a meaningful contest as Guardiola has led City to new heights, while Mourinho desperately scraps to get back into that conversation at the top of the game.

The Gunners have four big games coming up, with both legs of their Europa League last-32 tie with Benfica and Premier League matches against Manchester City and Leicester City. There is still a lot of football left to play in this campaign but it feels like season-defining run Arsenal at least go into it in good spirits after beating Leeds yesterday. Their trio of young attacking midfielders - Bukayo Saka, Emile Smith and Martin Odegaard - all shone, but it was Aubameyang’s hat-trick and performance that would have delighted Arteta most.

Gareth Bale struggles for Tottenham again and what's next for Dele Alli after PSG move denied?
On this episode of The Nutmeg, Evening Standard writers are joined by former Arsenal player Alan Smith to discuss Spurs loss to Brighton on Sunday, Thomas Tuchel’s first win as Chelsea manager and Arsenal vs Manchester United. Harry Kane is targeting a return from his ankle injuries in just two weeks, Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has revealed. Kane injured both of his ankles against Liverpool on Thursday and Spurs struggled without their talisman in their abject 1-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday. But Kane is optimistic that his latest ankle injuries are not as serious as previous ones he has suffered. Kane has had scans on both ankles and Mourinho has said it is “pretty good news”, in what is a major boost for Tottenham with their season faltering after back-to-back defeats. Elsewhere, after being frustrated by ambitionless Wolves in his first game in charge, Thomas Tuchel got off the mark yesterday with a 2-0 win against a similarly stubborn Burnley. If Mourinho sticks to type, Spurs will also try to rope-a-dope their way to three points on Thursday — even if they are the hosts. This is a classic clash of styles. Tuchel is already demonstrating a Pep Guardiola-esque obsession with control. And how Mourinho has savoured the opportunity to allow his old rival to tie himself in knots before delivering the knockout punch. And finally, with Bukayo Saka, Kieran Tierney and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang all missing, Arsenal needed players to step up for this clash with Manchester United - and Rob Holding certainly did that. In the summer, the centre-back was close to leaving Arsenal and was on the verge of joining Newcastle United on loan. Holding, however, ended up staying put and this performance against Manchester United underlined his growing importance to the Gunners. The 25-year-old was a rock at the back and helped Mikel Arteta’s side claim a valuable point as they held firm to draw 0-0.

Subscribe to the Evening Standard on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7RQon_YwCnp_LbPtEwW65w?sub_confirmation=1 Jose Mourinho said he was “frustrated” Tottenham sat back and tried to protect their lead for so long before they were pegged back by Wolves. Spurs went ahead at Molineux after just 57 seconds through Tanguy Ndombele but then sat back. They led for 85 minutes but could not hold on after what Mourinho said was a lack of ambition from his players. Romain Saiss equalised to earn a 1-1 draw for Wolves in the 86th minute as Tottenham missed the chance to go third and dropped more points after another negative performance.

Grealish once again looked the part of the international stage in England’s 2-0 defeat to Belgium and, with Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford missing through injury, the Aston Villa captain boosted his bid for a regular starting spot ahead of next summer’s Euros. "I thought Jack Grealish had an absolutely outstanding game," Southgate told Sky Sports. "Losing Raheem Sterling and Marcus Rashford, we lost a lot of speed.
