1) Liverpool’s Dejan Lovren can’t defend

Another Premier League clash, another mistake for the £20m Croat. He looked shaky all afternoon, and was at fault for the Magpies goal. He’s looking like a seriously expensive flop defender, and he’ll do well to keep his place in the side when Mamadou Sakho returns from injury.

2) Alexis Sanchez is absolutely top notch

The Chilean summer signing has now scored ten goals since his £35m move, and is looking like the best transfer of the season. His brace helped put Burnley to the sword – and he’s making his huge transfer fee look like a snip.

3) Ryan Mason could earn an England call-up

The local Spurs midfielder is 23-years-old, and many Tottenham fans didn’t even know who he was until this season. Another excellent performance against Aston Villa though, and fans are touting him for a spot in the next England squad. An enormous transformation.

4) Oscar has the potential to be one one of the best playmakers in the world

When on song, the Brazilian oozes class and guile. His goal versus QPR was a thing of real beauty, and outlined just how talented he really is. He’s relishing the increased responsibility awarded to him this term, and it shouldn’t be too long before he’s mentioned up there with the world’s very best.

5) Man United still don’t get given penalties awarded against them!

During the Manchester derby, City probably had three stone-wall penalty appeals rejected – and at their own stadium! Unfortunately for United though, they couldn’t take advantage of the good fortune, and slipped to a 0-1 defeat.
