Conor Gallagher (Aston Villa 1-2 Spurs)
Tottenham Hotspur and Gallagher grabbed the opportunity to move out of the bottom three with both hands, the day after West Ham United’s 3-0 defeat to Brentford opened the door.

Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal 3-0 Fulham)
The Arsenal striker put in an incredible display against Fulham, scoring two goals and providing an assist.
Gyokeres opened the scoring from close range after team-mate Bukayo Saka delivered a pinpoint cross. The Swede then returned the favour, running the channel and holding up the ball before he slipped in Saka, who netted the Gunners’ second goal.
The 27-year-old sealed his double with a delightful header — his 14th Premier League goal of the season. Only Thierry Henry (17) and Alexis Sanchez (16) have scored more Premier League goals in their debut campaign for Arsenal.
Gyokeres now has 21 goals in all competitions for the Gunners, a historic feat as only 13 players in Arsenal’s history have scored 20+ goals in their debut season.

Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United 3-2 Liverpool)
After signing a new long-term contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until June 2031, Mainoo delivered a masterful midfield display against rivals Liverpool.
The 21-year-old did it all as he evaded on-rushing players with dancing feet, expertly broke up attacks and then scored the winner with a brilliant, drilled effort into the bottom corner.
It was a confident display from Mainoo that helped Man Utd secure UEFA Champions League football.

In his first start since March, Arsenal’s No 7 produced a dazzling display in their emphatic victory over Fulham.
In just one half, Saka created the opening goal for Gyokeres in the ninth minute after he left Fulham forward Raul Jimenez on the floor before delivering a superb low cross. He then turned goalscorer shortly before the break when he produced a fierce low drive into the bottom-right corner.
