Robson: Man Utd not good enough to challenge Man City
That is the opinion of ESPN FC pundit and former Arsenal midfielder Stewart Robson.
Manchester United beat Tottenham thanks to a late Anthony Martial goal at Old Trafford.
But Manchester City’s 3-2 win at West Brom later in the day once again extended their advantage over their rivals to five points.
Tottenham are third favourites with the bookies to land the title but now see themselves eight points adrift of Pep Guardiola’s side after 10 games of the campaign.

“My conclusions from this game were that (Eric) Dier playing at centre-half isn’t as good as when he’s playing in central midfield,” he said.
“Ashley Young is doing a brilliant job for (Jose) Mourinho as the left wing-back when you think that he’s keeping (Daley) Blind out the side and (Matteo) Darmian out the side.
