Tottenham Hotspur (0) 2 v Manchester United (1) 2 Premier League Matchweek 11 Talking Points By Kaz Mochlinski at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium It was very, very nearly an unforgettable match. Equally, it was almost a game of great concern for Tottenham Hotspur. Ultimately, they did not do enough to deserve to end their three-month home run without a win in the Premier League.

By Alessandro Schiavone in Metz Metz 2-1 Nice Goals: Ali-Cho 35' (N), Hein 53' & Diallo 84' (M) Having had their Sundays off after featuring in respective 2-2 draws a day beforehand, Tottenham Hotspur's Pape Matar Sarr and Arsenal's William Saliba may have taken in a Ligue 1 cracker on television. And it was Pape Sarr's former team Metz who continued their fine resurgence after coming from behind to see off Nice 2-1 to make it three impressive wins on the spin. Nice, where Sa

Frank at the post-match conference at the Hill Dickinson Stadium : Picture by @YTJourno Spurs fans will know all too well about the folly of getting carried away. Remember those first heady weeks of the Ange Postecoglou regime? Tottenham were carrying all before them and threatening to be counted among the serious title contenders. Well we all know what happened to that pipe dream. Undefeated in their first 11 matches of the 2023/24 campaign they then crashed 4-1 to Chelsea a
