Yeah, in terms of Spurs, obviously, they start without Van de Ven.
He was one of the calls before the game, whether he'd be fit or not.
Danzo was out as well.
Romero goes off at half-time.
So they go into the second half.
When we saw Papsar coming out for the second half and we saw that it was Romero he replaced, then you have Pallinia and Dragosin, his first start of the season in the Premier League.
He's only back from a crucial injury.
I don't think anyone thought we were going to watch Spurs come out in the second half and do what they did, but can they build on it?
We talked about it in the commentary, their next game is away to United, they've got the North London derby coming up soon as well.
You mentioned Xavi Simons, very good today.
Even in the first half, he was at the heart of what Spurs were trying to do.
But in the second half, he just seemed to be everywhere.
City are looking at the league table now, six points behind Arsenal.
Great weekend for Arsenal.
Villa beaten as well.
City fans will not be looking forward to next week's trip to Anfield.
They've only won there once under Pep and that was during the COVID times when there was no one at the game.
They won 4-1 at Anfield.
It hasn't been a happy hunting ground for them.
They still have to play a match before Anfield.
