After a narrow victory over Vitesse and a stalemate against Everton prior to the international break, Antonio Conte’s Spurs tenure truly got underway, with the head coach having had more time to embed his philosophy.
Meanwhile, Leeds are poised just above the relegation zone after a disappointing start to the campaign. Marcelo Bielsa’s side have won just two out of 12 games so far, although they did seem to slowly be building momentum before the international break. Follow all the latest reaction below, live.

Man City 3 - 0 Everton
89 mins: We’re going to see a couple of youngsters now as James McAtee replaces Cole Palmer for Manchester City and Tyler Onyango comes on in place of Allan for Everton.
Rodri has been named the player of the match and that’s a pretty good choice. He’s been brilliant today and got himself a goal.
GOAL! Man City 3 - 0 Everton (Bernardo, 86’)⚽️
86 mins: It’s three! Gundogan drives towards the Everton box and slips the ball to Palmer. He wants to score himself and choose to fire a left-footed shot towards the far corner instead of playing in Bernardo Silva. The effort is blocked by Anthony Gordon but rather unluckily for Everton the ball deflects into Bernardo’s path as he continues his run into the box from the right. He collects the ball and guides it sweetly past Pickford.
Man City 2 - 0 Everton
84 mins: City seem content with two goals. They’re maintaining possession and running down the clock. It’s going to be another clean sheet for Pep Guardiola’s men.
Man City 2 - 0 Everton
81 mins: Manchester City are cruising to victory here. Everton haven’t offered much to threaten them. It’ll be two points out of 18 for the Toffees if they can’t take something out of this game leaving them eight points off the top four.
How long before Rafa Benitez starts to feel the heat? Premier League managers are dropping like flies recently.
Man City 2 - 0 Everton
78 mins: Chance! Brilliant work from City again and they should be three up. Riyad Mahrez is sent into the right side of the box with a simple pass between the lines and Sterling is waiting in the middle. Mahrez squares the ball to him but he side-foots his effort straight at Pickford who clings onto the ball.

Man City 2-0 Everton
71 min: A rare foray forward for Everton, who have been a little bit more positive in the past few minutes, but Richarlison can’t connect properly with an ambitious scissor-kick. Still time for the visitors to make this game interesting, despite the dominance of the home side.

69 min: Riyad Mahrez and Kyle Walker stand over a free-kick, 30 yards out. Mahrez hits one towards the right side of the goal but Pickford sidesteps across and catches comfortably.

64 min: Gundogan goes on a mazy run and feeds Riyad Mahrez on the edge of the box, but the winger, on for Phil Foden, is dispossessed easily. It seems Phil Foden is being rested for the midweek visit of Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League after a typically busy hour.
