Despite being impressed by the way his young players kept their composure at Tottenham, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca refused to accept that his young squad is ready to mount a serious title challenge.

"Arsenal, [Manchester] City and Liverpool probably don't slide - like [Marc] Cucurella did," he said in a tongue-in-cheek reference to the misfortune of his Spanish left-back, who changed his boots after Tottenham's second goal.

"To be serious, we are not ready. We are far from these teams, but we focus on day-by-day and trying to improve the team.

"The plan or the idea is to not let the players slow down. They cannot drop because they know another player is waiting to come in."

Chelsea are four points behind leaders Liverpool having played a game more.

Thumbs up if you think they should be considered title contenders, thumbs down if you don't.

Enzo Maresca told BBC's Match of the Day that he was impressed by his Chelsea players' mental resilience after they kept their composure at Tottenham despite conceding two early goals.

"Overall I think, even in the first half, I think we were in control of the game," he said.

"Then when you concede two goals like we conceded it is not easy, but the reaction from the players [showed they] are mentally strong.

"We continued with the plan on the ball and off the ball and I think in the end we deserved to win the game."

Cole Palmer's ice-cool 'Panenka' penalty sealed Chelsea's impressive comeback as they came from two goals behind to win at Tottenham.

Strikes from Jadon Sancho and Enzo Fernandez and two spot-kicks from Palmer sank Spurs, who made a fast start but then fell apart and suffered a defeat that adds to the recent agony for under-fire manager Ange Postecoglou.

Dominic Solanke and Dejan Kulusevski had put Tottenham 2-0 up in 11 minutes, but by the time Son Heung-min added their third in stoppage time the game had slipped away from them.

Chelsea's win moves them to just four points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool, while Spurs are 11th.

Let's move on with a quick look at the Premier League table before delving into more reaction to Chelsea's 4-3 win at Tottenham:

Right, that's it from today's national newspapers.

Plenty of talking points included in that round-up - from Dan Ashworth's Old Trafford departure to Liverpool's contract talks with Mohamed Salah, plus Chelsea's rise up the Premier League table.

The Times

The Times goes further on Dan Ashworth's exit as Manchester United sporting director, reporting that the move followed a "breakdown in his working relationship with Sir Jim Ratcliffe and other members of the club's board".

The lead story adds that "it had become clear that Ashworth was not a good fit for the club, and vice versa".

The Daily Express

The Express reports that Manchester United sacked sporting director Dan Ashworth on Sunday following a "major fall-out with the Old Trafford hierarchy".

The official line coming out of United on Sunday was that Ashworth left his role, which he only started five months ago, by "mutual consent".

But the Express back page states that the "axe" fell following a "farcical fall-out" over the decision to appoint Ruben Amorim as manager.

The Mirror, external reported on Sunday that Mohamed Salah had been offered a two-year contract and he was on the brink of signing the deal.

While the Athletic, external today suggests that an "opening contract offer has been made" to Salah, as well as to Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold, who are also out of contract in the summer.

All three would be free to discuss terms with foreign clubs from 1 January, but the Athletic says that "all three have now received proposals from the club and talks continue".

The Daily Mail

Less desperation, more joy unconfined on the face of Chelsea scorer Enzo Fernandez in the Mail.

One man's meat is another man's poison - another one of my grandma's sayings.

While Chelsea's fans left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium dreaming of a title challenge, Spurs supporters were left to grapple with yet more dropped points from a winning position.

The Sun

Well the Sun's headline writers are not buying the Chelsea manager's title bluff, saying "let's face it Enzo, Palmer has fired you into the title mix".

The Guardian

There is no let-up in the football at this time of year, which is brilliant, but let's take time out this morning to reflect on the weekend's action before diving head-long into another week of Champions League action.

Storm Darragh left its mark on Saturday's fixture list, forcing the postponement of what was supposed to be the final Merseyside derby at Goodison Park.

That gave Liverpool's title rivals the chance to close the gap and while both Arsenal and Manchester City were unable to take full advantage, a Cole Palmer-inspired Chelsea did not fluff their lines at Tottenham.

We have all the reaction coming up to those games and the rest of Sunday's Premier League programme, plus the latest on Dan Ashworth's abrupt departure from Old Trafford, Liverpool's reported contract offer to Mohamed Salah and Michail Antonio following his car crash.

The Hammers striker will be missing for tonight's match at home to Wolves after undergoing surgery on a "lower limb fracture". Full details of that, plus build-up to the game, coming up.
