LONDON: Tottenham moved to the top of the Premier League with a goalless draw against title rivals Chelsea, while Edinson Cavani inspired Manchester United’s thrilling 3-2 win at Southampton on Sunday.
Jose Mourinho’s side climbed above previous leaders Liverpool on goal difference after a sterile London derby at Stamford Bridge.
Tottenham are unbeaten in nine league games and Mourinho seemed happy to frustrate his former club as they adopted a cautious approach with little attacking ambition.
“That was a game where we respected them and they respected us. Nobody gambled today or tried to change the direction of the game,” Mourinho said.
“I like the feeling of being top. We came from a difficult position last season and we are happy with that.”
