If last week’s Premier League results left a little wonderment and surprise to be desired, then the pay-off for patient fans came this weekend. A smattering of goalless bored draws – at St. James Park, Old Trafford and Turf Moor respectively – might have disappointed but there was so much going on elsewhere that it didn’t matter. Let those teams fuss, frustrate and ultimately fail. We could instead look in other windows for the thrills that the English Premier League provides so wonderfully regularly.

Sure, Liverpool’s latest thrashing – of Southampton, 4-0 – and important wins for Bournemouth, Sheffield United and Everton were fun. But the fixtures at the King Power Stadium, the London Stadium and the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium lit up the audience figures and made the crowds bounce out of their seats at the final whistle at each of those grounds, fans just glad to have been there in person.

If you weren’t, and even missed the action on screen, then you missed a real treat.
