Tottenham moved back to the top of the Premier League after a goal-less draw against London rivals Chelsea at Stamford Bridge.
Jose Mourinho approached this game similarly to Spurs' victory over Man City last week, the visitors sitting back and soaking up pressure, waiting for the right moment to counter-attack.
An even game with few chances was arguably shaded by Chelsea, who Timo Werner's goal ruled out for offside in the first-half.
In the second-half, the game of cat and mouse continued, but it was Chelsea who wasted a glorious late chance when Mason Mount was denied by a great save from Hugo Lloris.
The stalemate perhaps disappointed the neutral fan, but both sides would probably have accepted the result before the start of the game.
Spurs return to the top of the league, level with Liverpool on 21 points, but with a superior goal difference. Chelsea are two points behind in third spot.

Neto & Podence take down Arsenal
Wolverhampton obtained a fantastic 2-1 victory against Arsenal at Emirates Stadium.
The game was overshadowed by Raul Jimenez's injury following a hideous head clash inside of five minutes,and was treated on field for 10 minutes before being taken to hospital.
Fabio Silva came on for Jimenez, but it was another Portuguese who put Wolves in front with 27 minutes on the clock. Pedro Neto knocked in a rebound when Leander Dendoncker's header came back off the crossbar.
The Gunners reacted pretty well as Gabriel Magalhães headed in from Willian's whipped in corner, but Daniel Podence put Wolves back in front before the teams played 10 minutes of stoppage time ahead of the break due to the Jimenez injury.
Although Arsenal had most of the possession in the second-half, Wolves generally looked comfortable defensively with Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's header, eight minutes from time was the closest Mikel Arteta's side came to an equaliser.
The result lifts Wolves to sixth position, while Arsenal remain in 14th ahead of a very important looking North London derby next Sunday.

Our first win at the Emirates, but some things are more important than football. All of our thoughts are with Raul Jimenez. #ARSWOL
