Tactical Analysis:
Tottenham enjoyed most of the possession, and completed 84% of their over 500 passes in the game.
Sunderland executed their plans nicely, but the Black Cats were hard done by some poor defending.
Jan Kirchhoff was brought in as a defensive reinforcement, but Sunderland conceded three goals after he came on.
He played a part in two of three goals conceded by Sunderland. Certainly, not a debut to remember!
Manchester City 4-0 Crystal Palace
Sergio Aguero scored twice and set up a goal for David Silva, as City thrash a lacklustre Palace side 4-0 at home.
Major Stats:
Crystal Palace have lost three in a row, and are winless in their last five matches.

Sergio Aguero has now scored against 25 of the 28 different opponents that he’s faced in the Premier League.
Chelsea 3-3 Everton
John Terry scored in the 98th minute to rescue a point for Chelsea, but was he in an offside position?
Everton were left frustrated for seeing Roberto Martinez’s side making the same mistakes again and again.

As a result, they have only managed six Premier League wins so far, whereas drew as many as 11 times this season.
