    Tottenham 3-0 Swansea

    The thing about Spurs is, even when they've not played well they haven't been losing, also taking into account key injuries to important players. Another example of the change of mentality Pochettino has brought to the club.

    A new contract for Harry Kane and he's wrapped up the three points for his team here tonight. It was all about the pace of the counter-attack, Dele Alli whipping the ball down the field to begin with. Kane, backing up Son, thundered it in to the bottom corner. That's game, set and match.

    Swansea need to bank up their defence - their back four is all over the place. Tottenham are pinging around passes and working their way right through the middle.

    Crystal Palace 2-0 Southampton

    Southampton need a way back into this game. And record signing Sofiane Boufal blows a good opportunity. 

    He leans back when he meets a cross from the right, skying over the Palace goal. Someone in the Sainsbury's car park on Whitehorse Lane might have to collect the ball...

    GOAL - Tottenham 3-0 Swanseapublished at 16:08 Greenwich Mean Time 3 December 2016

    Harry Kane (49 mins)

    What were we saying about this being a cricket score? Harry Kane does the bizo again, blasting home from 12 yards after good work from Son Hueng-min, who unselfishly leaves the finish to the striker. Swansea will do well to avoid being embarrassed.

    West Brom 2-0 Watford

    This is a very good chance for Watford. Troy Deeney arrives to meet a cross from the right, but his volley is blocked by the ever-reliable Gareth McAuley. That's Watford's biggest opening so far.

    Sunderland 0-0 Leicester

    Change at the break for Sunderland. And it a welcome sight for the home fans as Seb Larsson and Jan Kirchhoff make their long-awaited returns from injury.

    Steven Pienaar, who took a whack in the face just before half-time, goes off along with Jason Denayer.

    West Brom 2-0 Watford

    Jason Roberts
    Former West Brom striker on Final Score

    The most important thing for West Brom is they are consistently scoring goals now. You know you'll get a resolute performance but now you're getting goals. I think there's more goals there for them today.

    Leicester aren’t playing like they are the champions. Sunderland started really well and Leicester didn’t know what hit them. It was like last ditch defending – clear the ball anywhere to get out of trouble. They’ve been lucky to go in at half time without conceding. Once you are in and around that bottom half, you are looking over your shoulders.

    Any chance of a goal, here? This one is basically letting the rest of the Premier League down at the moment. It's almost like they want to be last on MOTD.

    Tottenham 2-0 Swansea

    Only Harry Kane and Hugo Lloris have had fewer touches than Son Heung-min in the Tottenham XI in that first half.

    Maybe not the most influential performance from the South Korean, but one of those 26 touches was a belter.

    Tottenham 2-0 Swansea

    Spurs, by the way, have had 12 shots on goal. Swansea haven't had a single one. The Spurs half may as well be on the moon for all the time Swansea have spent there.

    They have not created the clear cut opportunities but they've been the better side offensively. Tottenham have dominated possession. They were maybe a little lucky with the penalty but the second goal was spectacular from Son Hueng-min. There's been a distinct lack of opportunity for Swansea.

    We'll debate the rights and wrongs of Dele Alli's dive, but Spurs deserve this lead. It could be a cricket score.

    Stefano Okaka is having a bit of a rough time of it up top for Watford. His touches have come in very harmless positions, and just one of his four attempted passes in the first half has been successful.
