"Arsenal won their fifth successive Premier League match to finish the weekend with a six-point cushion at the top of the table as tensions erupted at their North London rivals, Tottenham. Erling Haaland scored twice as Manchester City climbed to second, but one important detail about the win leaves some cause for concern at the Etihad. Liverpool, meanwhile, finally hit back - both on the pitch and off it."
"Tottenham are fifth in the Premier League and unbeaten in the Champions League this season. But it seems tensions are bubbling in the camp, with decent results so far masking some sub-standard performances. Stand-in captain Micky van de Ven and Djed Spence appeared to snub manager Thomas Frank as they came off the pitch following a lame 1-0 defeat by Chelsea on Saturday -- their 10th loss against their London rivals in 12 meetings in all competitions."
"Frank's team were booed off after they produced only one shot on target all game and recorded their lowest expected goals figure of 0.05 on record (since 2012/13). The former Brentford boss played down the incident involving Van de Ven and Spence, saying it is "one of the small issues". "They perform very well so far this season and everyone is frustrated," he added."
Arsenal secured a fifth consecutive Premier League victory to end the weekend six points clear at the top of the table. Manchester City climbed to second thanks to a brace from Erling Haaland, although aspects of the win at the Etihad caused concern. Tottenham showed signs of internal tension after a 1-0 defeat to Chelsea, with players appearing to snub manager Thomas Frank and the team producing a record-low 0.05 expected goals. Frank described the matter as a small issue, while critics labelled the players' reaction disrespectful. Liverpool responded strongly both on and off the field.
