LONDON (Reuters) - After an unprecedented mid-season shutdown because of the Qatar World Cup, the Premier League burst back to life over the festive holiday with a bumper fixture package.

The 44-day stoppage allowed top-flight managers time to gather their thoughts while those players not involved in Qatar could re-charge their batteries.

The way they responded, however, underlined that Arsenal's Christmas lead of the Premier League for the first time since 2007, was justified and they might take some stopping. Boxing Day opponents Leicester City had shown great form ahead of the World Cup, but were blown away on their own turf as Chris Wood, Miguel Almiron and Joelinton all scored inside the opening 33 minutes for the visitors.

Goals by Harry Kane and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg earned them a point and the way they dominated the last half an hour had pundits baffled at Tottenham's fickle nature. After a difficult start at Old Trafford, manager Erik Ten Hag has got his team on the same page and United, and Liverpool, head into January looking dangerous.
