Comments:

League position: 2nd Tottenham Hotspur had now won 26 and lost none of their last 28 games in the Premier League against newly promoted teams. They had now won seven consecutive home games in the Premier League for the first time since their club record run of eight home wins between March and August in 2009. It is their best current run of home league wins within the same season since December 2006 (also seven in a row). Spurs were now still unbeaten in all 12 of their Premier League home matches in this season (won ten). Vincent Janssen replaced Harry Kane in the third minute of added time in the second-half.

Comments:

League position: 15th Middlesbrough had now won only one of their last nine Premier League games (lost six). Boro had now won only one of their last 25 away games in the Premier League. Only 21 goals had now been scored in their 12 away games so far in this Premier League season (scored eight, conceded 13); the fewest in the division.
