Tottenham once again fumbled a two-goal lead at home to Chelsea on Sunday, the 11th time they have done so in Premier League history. How's that for 'Spursy'?

Whatever Pep Guardiola is telling his Manchester City players before games, it's not working. After conceding early against Crystal Palace on Saturday, the champions have now let in seven goals in the opening 15 minutes of matches this term.
Right at home

If there's one rule everyone should stick to this season it's watch Brentford when they're at home. The Bees beat Newcastle 4-2 on Saturday with Bryan Mbuemo netting his eighth at the Gtech.
Spot on
12 - Cole Palmer has scored all 12 of his penalties in the Premier League; the best 100% record of any player in the competition (overtaking Yaya Touré's 11/11). Cold. pic.twitter.com/pTsnOj1g8l

Cole Palmer is officially the Premier League's best-ever penalty taker. The Chelsea man netted his 12th from 12 on Sunday and must surely be eyeing Harry Kane's overall record of 33.
