    PL Review: Spurs in free fall, goals galore as Arsenal hold firm

    Arsenal break records with their set-piece brilliance to go 5 points clear while North London neighbours Tottenham edge further into a relegation scrap. Would Spurs getting relegated be bigger than Leicester winning the title?! Elsewhere, are Manchester United and Liverpool settling into the Champions League spots? Have Burnley been robbed of a chance at staying up? And what is going on at Newcastle? Everton, meanwhile, could be in a shout of a European spot after yet another win on the road. Timecodes: 01:00 What made us love the Premier League this weekend 03:19 Arsenal stay top by 5 points — is it fair to call it boring? 07:35 Chelsea lose their heads and the game... again! 12:40 City keep the pressure on Arsenal 14:20 Are Tottenham in free fall, and is Igor Tudor making it worse? 20:00 Would Spurs getting relegated be bigger than Leicester winning the league? 21:30 Reaction from Igor Tudor on Fulham having a 'home referee' 23:30 Is Harry Wilson underrated? 24:40 Newcastle imploding in the league despite Champions League progress? 31:30 Everton's excellent away record and European hopes?! 35:08 Break 36:35 Manchester United up to third, will they finish there? 39:12 Carrick's record is better than any manager since...? 40:20 Was it right to give a red card AND penalty for Lacroix's foul? 43:40 Liverpool set-piecing their way to a Champions League spot? 45:28 Burnley's VAR heartbreak v Brentford 47:20  Do the Premier League need to do something to protect the 'product'?
