Spurs played great. Harry Kane, much as he annoys me, had an absolute world-class game and finished some true stunners. Spurs reminded me of a boxer who spends most of a fight absorbing jabs by ducking behind their gloves, but when an opening is offered, they land a haymaker.
The title chase is on again, at least in theory. If Liverpool beat Leeds midweek, and they otherwise match each other, it comes down to the away game at the Etihad...
I dislike Mourinho so much that I'm torn between wanting to see them do okay and just wanting them to suck so the Friedkins are forced to fire him. They did get two goals out of a pair of kids, but a second draw against an opponent they should be dominating.
Paul Tierney is the ref.
I don't like criticising refs for not being perfect, as their job is brutally difficult: watch 22 players on a huge pitch, all operating at breakneck speed, and most actively trying to deceive you at every opportunity, with vague rules wide open to interpretation, while dozens of cameras can replay every incident in excruciating slow motion so that millions of people watching at home with deep biases can complain with the benefit of hindsight.
All that said, Paul Tierney is the worst ref I've seen in the Premier League, and it's inexplicable that he keeps being given high-profile matches to oversee. Every time I watch him, obvious decisions are wrong, major fouls are ignored, and VAR does nothing.
Oh, and go Leeds. Conditions look foul, hopefully they're exhausted on Wednesday so Liverpool can save their legs...
