Arsenal look good deal, Newcastle ruthless, Tottenham inconstant as fighting resumes (2)
2022-12-29 13:48 After an unprecedented mid-season stoppage due to the World Cup in Qatar, the Premier League has bounced back with a luscious schedule over the festive period.
newcastle model of consistency
Any suggestion Newcastle United might have been vertiginous at half-time was shelved as they restarted their campaign in sensational fashion to move up to second.
Boxing Day rivals Leicester City had a stellar run ahead of the World Cup but were blown away on their own turf as Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton all scored for the visitors in the opening 33 minutes up.
With Newcastle having won six league games in a row, scoring 15 goals and conceding just two, with signings expected in January, Eddie Howe's assertion that anything is possible looks realistic.
Tottenham continue to fight
Tottenham were unable to show consistency, even throughout the entire 90 minutes, as was shown again in the 2-2 draw at Brentford.
Antonio Conte 's side boasted five World Cup players who were ripped off in muscle and mind in the opening 55 minutes of a 2-0 deficit at Brentford. But, as has often happened this season, they showed that they actually looked like a good team in self-defeating situations.
Goals from Harry Kane and Pierre Hojbjerg earned them a point, and the way they dominated the past half hour left pundits baffled by Tottenham's fickle nature.
They have taken 14 points from their defeats this season , and while that is impressive, it is not sustainable and their place in the top four looks increasingly fragile.
