It's been an exciting day of Premier League action, and twitter was out in force reacting to team selections, chances, goals and red cards. Fans and journalists alike were captivated by the feast of football, and here is the day of Premier League football as told by twitter:
I'm sorry to say but that Spurs midfield is pure toilet.... Do they just write "pass it to Eriksen and he passes to Harry" on tactics board?

When was the last time #MUFC named an unchanged side in the Premier League? Must have been a long time ago now!

There was a host of chances in the first half between Man United and Spurs:
Off the post - off the line! How didn't that go in?!! #MUFC
— BetVictor (@BetVictor) December 28, 2014
That's a cracking offside call from the linesman on reflection.
— Neil Sherwin (@neilsherwin) December 28, 2014
Bloody hell, how is this 0-0? Unbelievable scenes!
— BoyleSports (@BoyleSports) December 28, 2014
I think Spurs have set a force field around their goal.

WHAT A SAVE!!
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) December 28, 2014
Half-time: Hugo Lloris 0 Manchester United 0.
— Unibet (@unibet) December 28, 2014
Don't know how Man United aren't in front. This is like Tyson v Berbick.
— Jamie Carragher (@Carra23) December 28, 2014
Although 2 days in 3 days took it's toll in the second half:
Some people hadda no respect with a dreadful pun.
What's the Mata you? Hey!
— Paddy Power (@paddypower) December 28, 2014
Two games in 43 hours told in poor second half at Spurs. But Man Utd had enough chances to win well in first.

Then it was the turn of Chelsea and Southampton:
Southampton 1-0 Chelsea - Sadio Mane capitalises on Terry's error to lift the ball over Courtois #saintsfc #cfc http://t.co/EnOmJEybVM
— BBC Sport (@BBCSport) December 28, 2014
That's particularly bad from Terry.
— Paul Ring (@Paul__Ring) December 28, 2014
Sadio Mané: Has scored or assisted 3 goals in his last 107 minutes of action for Southampton #SaintsFC
— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) December 28, 2014
Reminder: Eden Hazard is really good at football.
— James Tyler (@JamesTylerESPN) December 28, 2014
Average half from Chelsea but Fabregas and Hazard always dangerous. Great midfield duo. Need more from Schurrle v 19-year-old left-back. 1-1
— Paul Hayward (@_PaulHayward) December 28, 2014
Eden Hazard: Completed more passes in the final third (22) in the first half of #SOUCHE than Southampton managed as a whole (21)
— WhoScored.com (@WhoScored) December 28, 2014
And the 3 o'clocks started
Narrative goal disallowed at Upton Park.
— Ian Walsh (@walsh_i) December 28, 2014
OFFSIDE! Alex Song scored a 25-yard volley. Refused to celebrate. He was right to do that http://t.co/ApQjT0uxLy
— MailOnline Sport (@MailSport) December 28, 2014
There were more controversial decisions that had both sides fuming:
Definite penalty. Cesc tripped. Awful refereeing.
— Con Murphy (@ConMurphySport) December 28, 2014
While others wanted some more action:
270 minutes of Premier League action so far today, just two goals.
— Gareth Makim (@GarethMakim) December 28, 2014
*tries to tempt fate*
It's all a bit quiet in the Premier League at the moment...— ESPN FC (@ESPNFC) December 28, 2014
Goals followed almost inevitably:
Silva with another cracking finish, he's been immense in the striker-less period. #mcfc
