Chelsea took on Newcastle United in the lunchtime kick-off earlier and it was a thriller.
Hosts Newcastle took a 2-0 lead in the first half thanks to goals from Nick Woltemade but Chelsea fought back to earn a draw.
Second half strikes from Reece James and Joao Pedro ensured another point on the board for Enzo Maresca’s side.
Here’s a look at the Premier League table after matchday 16 concluded.
It will all be changing again pretty soon but it is not a very satisfying picture for Spurs fans with their team sitting in 11th.
Likewise for reigning champions Liverpool, their current position in seventh is pretty underwhelming considering they are the defending champions.
