Tottenham Hotspur 3-2 Swansea City: Tottenham get top-four hopes back on track with Swans victory

Spurs took the lead minutes into the game from winger Nacer Chadli, who scored his 10th goal of the season. A break in play following a collapse from Swansea’s Bafetimbi Gomis saw the visitors equalise through Ki Sung-yeung inside of 20 minutes.

After the break, Ryan Mason fired the home side into the lead, before Andros Townsend doubled Tottenham’s advantage on the hour mark. The Londoners looked all set for a comfortable victory, before their former player Gylfi Sigurdsson pulled a goal back to set up a rousing finale.

But Tottenham did manage to hold on to record a very important win after a run if disappointing results. Manager Mauricio Pochettino had suffered a Europa League exit, Capital One Cup final defeat, as well as dropped points in the Premier League that threatened to end their hopes of a top-four finish, but their 3-2 win over Swansea could be a turning point, with only 10 league games to go.

Hull City Manager chides Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen following Spurs' 2-1 win

Following Spurs' 2-1 win over Hull City, City manager Steve Bruce lashed out at Tottenham's Jan Vertonghen for exaggerating to get Hull City's Ramirez Gaston red-carded. Bruce castigated such act as unhealthy for the Premier League. The Uruguayan midfielder Ramirez got the red card for kicking at Belgian Jan Vertonghen. Bruce argued his man only showed "petulance" when he was provoked by Jan. And such behaviour could not be regarded as "violent". The City went down when Tottenham's Harry Kane and Christian Eriksen found the net in the game's second half. Speaking with his news conference, Bruce said, "Ramirez has shown petulance. Vertonghen has had a little go at him, and Ramirez has flicked out. The law says it is a violent conduct. For me, it is an act of petulance -- it is not violent conduct." Via espn

Headmaster Pep Guardiola injects new rules into City camp; bans mobile phones

It's safe to say Pep is a perfectionist and also a headmaster, lol. But seriously, Pep has no intentions to drop his standards after a record-breaking 2017/18 season. He doesn't plan to chart a course like his colleague Ranieri of Leicester City did. Pep recently banned the use of mobile phones, and he also banned lateness to training. Every violation comes with a corresponding fine, ask Benjamin Mendy. Pep plans to repeat his outstanding triumph like he did last season.
