Five things we learned from the Premier League
Mousa Dembele
London (AFP) â Kevin De Bruyne was the creative fulcrum of Manchester Cityâs latest demolition job  while Mousa Dembele inspired Tottenhamâs north London derby triumph.
 Dembele  the midfield maestro
 Mousa Dembele  underlined  his  status as one of Tottenhamâs unsung heroes with a dominant display in their 1-0 win over north London rivals Arsenal. It was Harry Kaneâs latest goal-scoring exploits against the Gunners that took centre-stage at Wembley  but the platform of that success was built by  the industrious Dembele . Embodying Mauricio Pochettinoâs obsession with physical intensity  while more than capable of picking a decisive pass  Dembele out-shone Arsenal in the midfield engine room  earning praise from  his  manager. âLast season  he  played so well  this season  he  suffered a problem in  his  ankle and struggled in pre-season. Now  he  is playing well again â Pochettino said. â He  is an unbelievable player. We have to be careful about  his  fitness. When  he  can train  he  can make this type of performance.â
As if losing 1-0 to struggling Newcastle wasnât enough to have Jose Mourinho seething  the Manchester United boss once again had to suffer the frustration of  Paul  Pogbaâs latest flop. Mourinho had restored Pogba to the starting line-up after dropping him for Unitedâs previous match â a decision inspired by the former Juventus midfielderâs limp efforts in a defeat at Tottenham. But rather than grasp the opportunity to get back in Mourinhoâs good books just days after his boss had defended their relationship  Pogba was again a largely anonymous figure at St Jamesâ Park. By the time he was substituted midway through the second half  United were already trailing  but publicly at least  Mourinho remains supportive. âNo problems â he said when asked about the France international. âI wanted a better way (in midfield) against a side that was defending in a block. I wanted the simplicity of Michael Carrick.â
