Football: Spurs sink Manchester City to take top spot, Chelsea up to second

LONDON - Tottenham powered to the top of the Premier League with an impressive 2-0 win against Manchester City, while Chelsea are up to second place after their victory at Newcastle on Saturday .

But Gabriel Jesus controlled Rodri's cross with his arm before setting up Laporte and the goal was disallowed after referee Mike Dean consulted the pitchside monitor.The Argentine midfielder netted his first Premier League goal in the 65th minute, driving his shot past Ederson after Harry Kane's sublime pass prised open the City defence.

Tottenham, who last won the top-flight title in 1961 and haven't lifted a major trophy since 2008, would surrender pole position if Leicester beat champions Liverpool at Anfield on Sunday. 'Stay humble' Next weekend, Tottenham face a fascinating clash with London rivals Chelsea, who maintained their fine form as Federico Fernandez's first-half own goal and Tammy Abraham's strike sealed a 2-0 win at St James' Park.

Chelsea put the result beyond doubt in the 65th minute when Timo Werner accelerated away from the Newcastle defence and slipped a pass to Abraham, who guided his shot past Karl Darlow and in off the post.
