Draws for Liverpool, Spurs cap tough weekend for EPL powers
Liverpool's manager Jurgen Klopp gestures during the English Premier League soccer match between Fulham and Liverpool, at Craven Cottage stadium, London, Sunday, Dec. 13, 2020. They werenโt alone, in what has proved a tough weekend for the Premier Leagueโs likely title candidates. Liverpool ends the weekend in second place after 12 games, tied on 25 points with Tottenham. The pair meet at Anfield on Wednesday in the headline fixture in a midweek round of games in the Premier League where rotation might be heavy across the division. Only Alan Shearer and Chris Sutton, with 13, have combined for more goals in a single top-flight season than Kane and Son.

(John Walton/Pool via AP)LONDON โ Gareth Bale soared into the air, connected with the ball and powered it into the net. It's taken more than seven years but Bale was Tottenham's match-winner again. And it had only required three minutes on the field for the substitute to clinch a 2-1 victory over Brighton on Sunday. โA bit of relief and a lot of happiness,โ Bale said after being set up by Sergio Reguilon, who also switched from Real Madrid in September.

Handball rule draws widespread ire in penalty-dominated EPL
Tottenham coach Jose Mourinho gestures during the English Premier League soccer match between Tottenham and Newcastle at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London, Sunday, Sept. 27, 2020. Almost inevitably, a penalty was awarded after the referee took the opportunity to view the incident on the pitchside monitor. The Premier League has fallen in line with the rest of European soccer this season and applied the ruling in a stricter way rather simply than judging it on intent. Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson said the newly adopted rule was โkilling the gameโ after his team lost 2-1 by conceding a handball penalty for the winning goal. Mourinho chose not to criticize the rule for fear of collecting a fine from the Football Association, but his Newcastle counterpart had his say.

Mourinho woe, Ancelotti joy: Everton opens with win at Spurs
โI didnโt like my team," the Tottenham manager said after Dominic Calvert-Lewinโs second-half header gave Everton a 1-0 win in the Premier League on Sunday. For all that Everton was dynamic โ with James Rodriguez and Allan controlling the midfield on their debuts โ Tottenham was ineffective going forward. โThe struggle started in the way we pressed โ or the way we didnโt press," Mourinho said. But it was the perfect start for Everton manager Carlo Ancelotti, who took charge midseason last year like Mourinho. โHe defended well, attacked and ... he will run all day and looks to get in the box," Leicester manager Brendan Rodgers said.
