Boxing Day fixtures in the Premier League are always entertaining. There's something brilliant about lying on the couch with some hang sangwiches watching the festive football. Here is the story of the day's play as told through twitter:

12 - Wayne Rooney has now scored 12 PL goals vs Newcastle. Only against Aston Villa has he scored as many. Menace.

Best half of the season from Burnley. But these are the kind of games they have to be winning.

Chelsea has Moses, Arsenal has Aaron, Man City has Jesus, Manutd has an Angel. The EPL is looking biblical.

Spurs suddenly two points off top four #ais - which seemed fanciful a few weeks ago.

4 - Only Tottenham (5) have conceded more penalties than Manchester United (4) in the Premier League this season. Frequent.

8 - Man Utd have conceded 8 PL pens since Alex Ferguson left the club; they conceded just 3 in his final 2 campaigns in charge. Adjustment.

Eriksen's goals alone have won Spurs 17 league points in their 37 league matches in 2014. Onward Christian soldiers.
