Tottenham's first half woes came back to bite them once more as they fell to defeat in the North London Derby, highlighting the current chasm between the sides. Arsenal are already 14 points clear of their fierce rivals and still have a game in hand at the top of the table.
Mikel Arteta's free-flowing Gunners were slick in contrast to Antonio Conte's rigid Tottenham and being two down at the break was of little surprise to those that have seen Spurs play in recent months. Not only have they fallen out of the top four all together there is a gap opening up above them.
Both Manchester United and Newcastle won over the weekend and are both looking up towards an outside title challenge more than they are looking down. Spurs are still clinging on but the gap is five points. They also face a tough run of fixtures which could define their season.
