Football Weekly: Clint Dempsey keeps cool to deny Manchester United

On today's Football Weekly, James Richardson has Barry Glendenning, Michael Cox and Jacob Steinberg to chew over the thrills and spills at the top and the bottom of the Premier League after a weekend of moderate drama.

Manchester United were given a dose of their own medicine when Tottenham scored a stoppage-time equaliser to deny the league leaders all three points at White Hart Lane. Elsewhere, Reading inflicted more misery on Newcastle, while Liverpool scored some goals against Norwich. Lots of them.

Abroad, Sid Lowe tells us about Barcelona's first defeat of the season and fills us in about Southampton's new manager, Maurico Pochettino, and we also ponder Mario Balotelli's mooted return to Italy.

Rob Smyth and Rafa Honigstein will be with us Thursday, so make sure you are too.
