Plus it was not a genuine challenge for the ball. Still a tough one though.Thought it was a red as last man although the actual foul was probably more outside the box so a free kick rather than pen. Academic now though.
Had 3-1 Tottenham,Eriksen score first score cast plus singles! Did they really need a fourth
The first 10 minutes aside, we were the better team and deserved the win.
Before they went down to 10 men we were ahead and looking to extend our lead. The ref made some poor decisions but the sending off was correct as their player made no attempt to get to the ball.
Danny Rose was my man of the match but they were all excellent tonight, the spurs of a few seasons ago may not have come back after conceding early or might have contrived to draw the game late on!
Good result. Still don't feel like we are clicking properly, which could be a good thing assuming we do actually start at some point soon.
Feel that we are keeping pace by the skin of our teeth at the mo with all those above us looking a lot more assured in their performances.
But if they all have dips with us still due to hit a peak who knows what might happen.

Yep, although hopefully when Lamela comes back I think we will improve. What the other teams have we don't is out and out brilliance, City with De Bryue, Woolwich with Sanchez, Chelsea with Hazard and Costa etc.
It's those type of players that would turn our dominance of most games into more goals (although tonight we scored well). We are a Bale or Modric away from proper title contenders.
I really hope we throw the kitchen sink at Isco or even just Coric in the Jan window, it could make the difference for us.
Poch deserves a lot of credit for tonight. Some would have moaned with Sissoko starting, but he was excellent tonight. Alli had a great game, Eriksen was superb.
Watford game get Trippier in for Walker and Wimmer in for Jan, hopefully Toby back in as well. We could come out of this festive period with a good points tally.
They are usually at the top when doing it thoI agree, don't think we are at our best but that could be the fact that I can't remember the last time Kane, Lamela Toby and dier played in the same starting 11?
Plus we are grinding out wins when not at our best, apparently this is the kind of things that PL winners also do!
