Comments:

League position: 4th After failing to win any of their first three Premier League home games at Wembley Stadium in this season, Tottenham Hotspur had now won five of their last six (one draw). Serge Aurier became the first Ivorian to score a Premier League goal for Spurs. They now had goalscorers from nine different African nations; the joint-most in the competition with Sunderland. They kept a clean sheet for the first time in their last six games in the Premier League.
