Premier League leading scorer Harry Kane (8 goals) scored two goals in the match, the first coming in the fourth minute.
Saturday at 10 a.m. ET, NBCSN presents first-place Manchester City visiting West Bromwich Albion, with Liverpool v. Huddersfield Town on CNBC.

I always appreciate this resource as I plan my weekend’s viewing.
Me too. Knowing in advance that Drury ain’t on the Saints game is bliss. No waiting with dread as they say ‘over to Falmer where the commentary comes from….. ‘.
Enjoy the weekend everyone.
Hahaha I knew it Drury in spurs game hahaha I’ll maximize volume to 100%
Apparently that’s been tried as an interogation techniqe, phako.
*interrogation*
Agreed… to know which games Arlo is on so I can find alternative options.
Cantona—
Derek Rae tweeted that he is at the studio of NBC Sports Group on Saturday morning as an observer.
He was in New York to call NFL Thursday Night Football off monitor with Tommy Smyth for Amazon Prime Video.
—
When Martin Tyler is fully alert, he can still be excellent, as he was two weeks ago.
The problem: you don’t know whether the good Tyler or the bad Tyler will show up in the booth.
—
Stop the hate on Peter Drury. He isn’t nearly as bad as some of you would describe.
Arlo White, on the other hand, is an “American soccer announcer” with a British accent. “Up top”, “outshot”, etc. Keep that up and he will be banished and sentenced to a lifetime of calling American women’s college soccer on ACC ESPN Network and SEC ESPN Network with the likes of Markgraf, Whitehill, and Lilly.
Rebecca and the Two Robbies are calling out United, especially the Special 1, for playing “tactical” football.
Man Utd have turned into AC Milan circa 1994-1995 under the Special 1.
Only one team was able to solve AC Milan in 1994-1995: a loaded AFC Ajax beat AC Milan 3 times in the UEFA Champions League.
Arlo White has turned himself into the “Dave O’Brien” of “English Football” announcers. Way too busy performing scripted material and telling stories, not enough pxp at the start of a match.
Well, well well, 10 round into the PL season and the table is “as predicted”: “Big 6” hold spots 1-6, with Man City pulling away and Liverpool barely holding on to spot 6.
The PL title may be decided by New Year’s Day if Man Utd continues to play like AC Milan circa 1994-1995.
Only the relegation zealots will be watching PL after that. The glory hunters will move on to something else. The TV ratings on NBCSN and NBC will be down again.
