Tottenham Hotspur laid down their Premier League title credentials with an emphatic victory over the undefeated Manchester City on Sunday but there was a slight blip in the team harmony.

With Spurs in a commanding 2-0 lead Fernandinho hauled down Dele Alli to gain Mauricio Pochettino’s side a spot-kick to compound City’s misery on 70 minutes.

However there was a slight delay as Erik Lamela and Son Heung-min argued over who should take the honour.
