Tottenham have moved within three points of the Premier League summit after brushing aside in-form Bournemouth with a 3-1 win for Australian manager Ange Postecoglou's side.
But north London rivals Arsenal remain in the doldrums. Their miserable holiday period continued with a 2-1 loss on Sunday at a Fulham side that had failed to take either a point or goal from their last three matches.
A victory would have put Arsenal back on top, but they instead remain fourth, a point and a place above Spurs. Liverpool, currently top on goal difference from Aston Villa, can move three points clear if they beat Newcastle at Anfield on Monday. Champions Manchester City are third, also with a game in hand.
