After Stoke City took the lead in the 11th minute against Burnley, they had to withstand a barrage of shots as the Clarets probed for an equaliser. The visitors did eventually level through Ashley Barnes, but Potters goalkeeper Jack Butland emerged with plenty of credit after making six saves – four more than opposite number Nick Pope.

Bournemouth were chasing the game from the 28th minute against Manchester United following Chris Smalling's opening goal.

Watford had by far the better chances to break the deadlock in their goalless draw with Crystal Palace, and key to their dominance was the strength of their defence. Centre-back Christian Kabasele (L) made four tackles and two blocks to keep the Eagles at bay – more than any other Watford player. Photo: AFP

The attacking instincts of converted left-back Fabian Delph were in evidence when Raheem Sterling doubled Manchester City's lead in the first half against Swansea. Delph linked up with David Silva beautifully to tee up Sterling, while also completing 97 per cent of his passes in the game - the most of any City player. Photo: AFP

Mohamed Salah is the Premier League's leading goalscorer with 31 and he has been most potent in at Anfield, scoring 18 times on home turf in the top flight. But the Egyptian magician reminded supporters he also travels well when he scored his 13th away goal of the season in Liverpool's 2-2 draw at West Brom. Photo: Getty Images

Alexandre Lacazette is hitting form at the right time of the season and he continued to sparkle in Arsenal's 4-1 win over West Ham. Lacazette scored with both his shots on target in the final 10 minutes against the Hammers, taking his tally for the season to 13 Premier League goals. Photo: Getty Images
