The big winners from this matchweek must be the two North London clubs. Arsenal and Tottenham were the only teams in the top six to win their respective fixtures this matchweek.

Tottenham, still without Dele Alli and Harry Kane, finally found a way through a resilient Watford outfit who were looking for a first-ever double over Tottenham. Craig Cathcart capitalised on uncertain goalkeeping by Hugo Lloris to put the Hornets in the lead.

Heung Min Son, who just arrived back from the Asian Cup, proved his worth to the side as he levelled proceedings after the break. Fernando Llorente scored the winning goal in the closing stages, handing all three points to Spurs.

On the other hand, Arsenal went into the top four after defeating a Cardiff outfit clearly distressed by the disappearance of their club record signing, Emiliano Sala. Aubameyang and Lacazette scored the goals that downed the Bluebirds and took the Gunners level on points with London rivals, Chelsea.

Arsenal entered the top four and Tottenham closed the gap to City to just two points. It was a great round of fixtures for the North London outfits
