FourFourTwo’s tactical review: Giroud vs Januzaj, blunted Spurs, Klopp’s aerial kings

Thore Haugstad uses Stats Zone to report four trends from the weekend’s Premier League fixtures

Tottenham and Manchester United were the big losers on a weekend where the other title challengers raced two points ahead.

Arsenal beat Sunderland thanks to two substitutions with contrasting effects, while Kevin De Bruyne deputy Ilkay Gundogan helped Manchester City to win 4-0 at West Brom. Liverpool somehow struck twice from corners in a 4-2 success at Crystal Palace, but Spurs endured familiar failings in their 1-1 draw versus Leicester.
