    Each week, Sport360 will be bring you the best five players from the Premier League, as chosen by you the supporters through our ValoraFutbol fan ratings tool.

    YOU have direct influence on who appears in each Top Five so be sure to rate each weekend.

    HARRY KANE (Tottenham Hotspur) – 8.33

    Harry Kane was instrumental as Tottenham beat Bournemouth 3-0 to keep pressure on leaders Leicester.

    Kane took just a minute to break the deadlock at White Hart Lane and the England striker netted again 15 minutes later to effectively kill off Bournemouth before the break.

    Mauricio Pochettino’s team are only five points behind Leicester and, with seven games remaining, they go into the international break as the most credible candidates to profit from any slips by the leaders in the closing weeks.

    This was a high-class Tottenham display and Kane, who had scored twice to seal last weekend’s victory at Aston Villa, looks almost unstoppable at present.

    DELE ALLI (Tottenham Hotspur) – 7.41

    Dele Alli has been a revelation for Spurs this season and continues to play a central part in the Lilywhites quest for the Premier League crown – should current leaders Leicester slip-up.

    The 19-year-old showed accuracy and intelligence to play a sumptuous flick to locate Kane and the England striker fired low past Artur Boruc from the edge of the penalty area.

    Alli has now assisted seven of Kane’s 21 league goals, which is the most from one player to another in Europe’s top five leagues.

    RIYAD MAHREZ (Leicester City) – 7.38

    Riyad Mahrez’s 17th goal of the season sent Leicester eight points clear at the Premier League summit as Claudio Ranieri’s men won 1-0 at Crystal Palace.

    The Algerian winger tucked away a cross from Jamie Vardy to earn the Foxes a third successive 1-0 victory and bring a title triumph a step closer.

    The 24-year-old has been in sparkling form this season and continues to display his supreme speed, dribbling and finishing skills, catching the attention of some of Europe’s biggest clubs in the process.

    CESC FABREGAS (Chelsea) – 7.19

    Cesc Fabregas scored two equalisers, the second an 89th-minute penalty, as West Ham United were prevented from climbing to fourth place in a 2-2 draw at outgoing champions Chelsea.

    His goal on the stroke of half-time was a beauty. After soaking up some early pressure, Chelsea were awarded a free-kick on the outside of the box and the Spaniard stepped up to unleash a powerful strike into the top corner.

    Took his goals well and was a menacing presence for the Blues.

    MARCUS RASHFORD (Manchester United) –7.15

    Teenage sensation Marcus Rashford struck again as Manchester United won 1-0 at Manchester City on Sunday to rekindle their top-four challenge and fatally compromise their derby rivals’ Premier League title hopes.

    Juan Mata fed Rashford on the edge of the box and the youngster planted Martin Demichelis to the ground before tucking a shot past Jo Hart to claim his own piece of derby history.

    At 18 years and 141 days, Rashford is the youngest goal scorer in a Manchester derby in Premier League history.
