On an overwhelmingly crowded day in the Premier League, we break down all six games from start to finish culminating with the clash of title challengers at Anfield. We argue that while the margins were incredibly thin Liverpool may have marginally edged it because of the way they induced an extra level of fatigue from Spurs that no other opponent has. Plus, we conclude nothing has been learned in the title race and wonder whether Son's offside decision exposes an inherent flaw in VAR that undermines the purpose of the system entirely. 

But first, we discuss all the other games. We praise the brilliance of Jack Harrison, suggest Fulham are trending past Brighton despite an uninspiring showing from both, and wonder whether Leicester can learn to break down opponents when dominating possession. We also discuss one of the most stunning overhead volleys you'll ever see at the London Stadium, praise the progress (no matter how slight) that Arsenal's attack made, and swoon over yet another tactical masterstroke by Carlo Ancelotti.
