Top 5: Premier League players of the week

1. Riyad Mahrez (Leicester City)

Leicester winger Riyad Mahrez assisted one and scored one as Leicester returned to the top of the Premier League following their 2-1 win over champions Chelsea.

With 10 minutes remaining in the first half, the Algerian collected the ball on the right side of the penalty box and provided a perfect in-swinging cross which Jamie Vardy duly tucked home for his 15th goal of the season.
