Spurs Let 2-Goal Lead Slip As Leicester Top The Premier League
Newcastle United are still searching for their first win under Steve McClaren as they lost 2-0 at Swansea City.
The hosts bossed the first half – Troy Deeney, Odion Ighalo, Allan Nyom and Jose Jurado were amongst those to threaten the West Brom goal – and the pattern continued deep into the second period. Claudio Ranieri is trying to build on Leicester’s first week win.

There were plenty of shots for both sides in a slightly drab affair, which was completely void of any goals.
Watford are meanwhile still searching for their first Premier League win since winning promotion from the Championship after a stalemate against West Bromwich Albion. Look for lot’s of scoring with a draw most likely being the end result. Nacer Chadli (Tottenham Hotspur) right footed shot from the centre of the box to the bottom left corner.
Stoke had a number of opportunities but failed to take advantage of them, as Hugo Lloris pulled off save-after-save.
The visitors reduced the deficit through Marko Arnautovic, who scored from the penalty spot after Toby Alderweireld had fouled substitute Joselu.
A West Brom would have been harsh on Watford, though, as they were for long periods the only team interested in attacking. Is it bad that I want him to go 0-2? They should be able to build on that good performance especially being at home.
With Arsenal’s game at Crystal Palace also on the agenda on Sunday, this weekend of Premier League football is saving the best till last. The striker easily beat the offside trap to receive a pinpoint through ball from Shelvey, following which he dribbled around Krul and slotted the ball into an empty net.
Summer signing Andre Ayew then made it two goals in two games when he headed home a Jefferson Montero cross.
After six games on Saturday in the Premier League, we have plenty to catch up on.
Meanwhile, the alarm bells are ringing once again for the two faltering giants from the North East of England, with Newcastle going down to a 2-0 defeat at Swansea and Sunderland handed a drubbing by newly promoted Norwich at the Stadium of Light. Whittaker scored the second 11 minutes later, after completing a one-two with Hoolahan.
