Despite slipping into runner-up spot, Eden Hazard actually recorded a higher points tally this week after netting a superb opener against Liverpool - before Daniel Sturridge hit a spectacular equaliser.

Gylfi Sigurdsson (No 3) has rekindled the form that prompted Everton to pay £45m for his services one year ago - making amends for missing a penalty with a stunning strike and netting a second to secure a 3-0 win against Fulham.
