Leicester City’s lead at the top of the Premier League was cut to five points after their 2-2 draw at home to West Ham United on Sunday.

This came as second-place Tottenham Hotspur recorded an emphatic 4-0 win at Stoke City on Monday night.

Elsewhere, there were wins for Liverpool, Sunderland, Manchester United, Newcastle United, Watford and Manchester City.

But in a week of superb individual performances, who were the top performers?

The teenager also went close in the second half while under pressure from Joleon Lescott as his sharp movement and turn of pace was a constant threat all afternoon.
