Ben Fisher’s match report is in, which is my cue to slope off. Thanks for your company, correspondence and chortling at the Guardian’s spelling mistakes. The MBM will be back tomorrow with two games in the WSL and two in the PL, including the north London derby.

And the consequence is … Villa stay fourth, as they were always going to. They could have been nine points up on Spurs but have to settle for seven: Villa 67 from 35 games, Spurs 60 from 32.

Chelsea stay ninth with 48 points from 33 games, but they should end up eighth. They’re only just behind West Ham, who have 49 points from 35 games after they too drew 2-2 today, with Liverpool.
