Of the six English teams that took part in Champions League and Europa League fixtures in midweek, only Arsenal, beaten 2-0 at Borussia Dortmund last Tuesday, claimed a league victory when they returned to domestic action at the weekend. Arsene Wenger's team, bristling at criticism of their limp surrender in Germany, hit back with the same elan that Frank Lampard demonstrated in his goal-scoring cameo for Manchester City. The midfielder came on as a late substitute in the champions' 1-1 draw with Chelse...

A month ago, after opening Premier League wins against West Ham United and Queens Park Rangers, Spurs were sitting top of the table. Now, following home defeats to Liverpool and West Brom and a draw at Sunderland, they are ninth. Next up on Wednesday is a tricky League Cup match against Championship (second tier) leaders Nottingham Forest, while next Saturday Spurs make the short trip to Arsenal where they have won just once in the last 21 years.

Lampard's equaliser ensured a 1-1 draw against the Premier League leaders who lost their perfect start to the league season but still moved three points clear of second-placed Southampton. It seemed Jose Mourinho's side were set for a fifth straight league win when Andre Schurrle put them ahead in the 71st minute, shortly after City had been reduced to 10 men by the sending off of defender Pablo Zabaleta. But former Chelsea star Lampard, only playing for City after being loaned to them by New York City, the clu...
