Tottenham impress again in North London derby

Another weekend of football action has come and gone, leaving us with some unexpected results and memorable moments.

First on our list is the North London Derby showdown between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal. While Spurs didn't secure a victory, they certainly left a mark with an impressive performance. Spurs fans are not usually ones to celebrate a draw, but this was different. It seemed like the Derby finally lived up to its reputation as a fierce rivalry. What surprised me the most was how Spurs managed the game. Typically, we've seen them sit back and give up possession when facing stronger opponents. However, this time, they held their own, finishing the game with more possession than Arsenal at the Emirates and the same number of shots on goal. It was a complete performance that left fans cautiously optimistic about their top-four prospects.  Spurs may not be top-four contenders just yet, this performance against a team that challenged Man City last season was extremely promising.

One thing that stands out this season is how un-Spursy they've been. In six games, they've come from losing positions to secure eight points. It's a sign of resilience we haven't often associated with the club, and it's been a delight to watch. The Emirates has been a haunting ground for Spurs, making this result all the more satisfying.

Moving on to another surprising result, Newcastle United embarrassed Sheffield United with an astonishing 8-0 victory. What's even more remarkable is that eight different players found the net in that match. However, the focus here is on the struggles of Sheffield United, who find themselves in a situation similar to Burnley and Luton. This season could potentially see three teams that were promoted last year relegated this time around, a rare occurrence.

Lastly, we turn our attention to Chelsea's woes. Aston Villa managed to secure a 1-0 victory against the Blues, and it seems any lack of faith in Chelsea wasn't misplaced. While Chelsea has two winnable games against Fulham and Burnley on the horizon, the road ahead looks challenging. 

In conclusion, the weekend in football brought us surprising results and notable performances. While Spurs showcased their potential, Sheffield United and Chelsea face challenges ahead. The Premier League remains as unpredictable as ever.
