Top 5: Premier League players of the weekend including Tottenham, Manchester United and Leeds United stars

4. Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City)

Another player who came into the weekend matches having received some criticism this campaign was Manchester City winger Riyad Mahrez. The Algerian has been given a lot of football this term, but has yet to hit the ground running in a Sky Blue shirt. That changed on Saturday, when Mahrez scored a stunning hat-trick in a 5-0 thumping over Burnley and was a constant threat down the right-hand side.
