Premier League!! Tottenham And Manchester City Record Big Victories To Heap Pressure On Chelsea In Title Race
Christian Eriksen scored twice as Tottenham proved too strong in the face of a spirited Hull City display at White Hart Lane.
The Denmark international struck in either half as Spurs strengthened their grip on fifth place in the Premier League with their eighth win of the season.
Danny Rose laid Eriksen’s first on a plate inside 15 minutes after good work down the left, and Kyle Walker did likewise from the right to snuff out any hope of a Hull comeback after the break.
Eriksen was desperately unlucky not to claim the match ball after seeing a superb free-kick tipped on to the post by Hull goalkeeper David Marshall, allowing Victor Wanyama to mop up the rebound from a couple of yards out.
Hull can have no complaints about the defeat but the one-sided nature of the final score was a tad unfair on the Tigers after they matched their hosts for long spells.
However, 35 goals conceded in 16 games is a damning statistic for the side second-bottom of the league – as is the fact they have now lost six away games in succession, equalling their top-flight record.
Manchester City earned their first Premier League home win in almost three months as they edged past Watford at Etihad Stadium.
The Blues, looking to avoid a third top-flight defeat in a row, led when an unmarked Zabaleta calmly side-footed in Kevin de Bruyne’s deep cross.
Raheem Sterling clipped the Watford bar after the break, before Odion Ighalo poked over Watford’s best chance.
And the visitors were punished when David Silva tucked in a late second on his 200th league appearance.
