  • Son opens scoring (55)
  • Eriksen for 2-0 (81)
  • Moura, Sanchez dropped
  • Davies, Son start

It was a case of home sweet home for Tottenham as they celebrated moving into their new stadium with a convincing win. Hailstones showered the pitch ahead of the first game at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium but it was Son Heung-Min that shone brightest as he created a moment of history (55) to become the first scorer at the £1bn stadium. Christian Eriksen (81) wrapped up the points for a dominant Spurs, who moved back above Arsenal into third with six games remaining.

 

  • FT: Man City 2-0 Cardiff
  • De Bruyne puts City ahead (6)
  • Sane slots in second (44)
  • Foden makes first PL start
  • Sterling on bench, Aguero out
  • Ralls in for Arter

A very easy victory for City who could well have won by a greater margin if not for some fine saves by Neil Etheridge. City go top of the Premier League for now.
