Comments:

League position: 5th Tottenham Hotspur had now scored four or more goals in five of their 34 games so far in this Premier League season. With the second goal in his second hat-trick for Spurs in the Premier League (also at Aston Villa on 26 December 2012), Gareth Bale became the eighth player to score 50 goals for them in the competition. They had now won six of their last ten games in the Premier League (lost two). SON Heung-min scored after 51 minutes but the goal was disallowed after a VAR review due to an offside decision.

Comments:

League position: 20th Sheffield United had now created a new club record of 27 league defeats in a season; previously 26 in 1975-76 in League Division One and 2010-11 in the League Championship. The Blades had now failed to score in eight of their last 11 games in the Premier League (scored one goal in the other three). They had now lost ten of their last 12 games in the Premier League (won two).
