1. GARY CAHILL (CHELSEA) – 7.6
Gary Cahill seems to be on a personal mission to make sure there’s no slip-up in the title run-in from his Chelsea team. The Blues captain scored for the second straight game and kept Romelu Lukaku in check.

Everton away was supposed to be Chelsea’s biggest test as they closed in on the Premier League title, but Cahill ensured his team passed with flying colours.
2. PEDRO (CHELSEA) – 7.6
When Chelsea’s game against Everton went into half-time at 0-0, with Diego Costa and Eden Hazard both having largely been nullified in the first-half, it was tempting to wonder where Chelsea’s goal would come from, and whether they might end up dropping crucial points with Spurs breathing down their necks.

And then, up stepped Pedro. The Spaniard has been a valuable contributor to Antonio Conte’s side and he delivered again on Sunday, scoring one of the best goals of his Chelsea career to put them on their way to victory.
3. HARRY KANE (TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR) – 7.6
The last North London derby at White Hart Lane. Spurs needing a win to stay alive in the title race. The stage was set for a man who had scored in four straight Premier League games against Arsenal, and Harry Kane delivered.

Kane was too clever for Gabriel Paulista, earning a penalty that was not as controversial as it was made out to be. Then, showing how his brain works, Kane anticipated Petr Cech covering the middle of the net based on a previous penalty he’d scored against the Arsenal keeper, and coolly dispatched this spot-kick to Cech’s bottom right-hand corner.
4. ALVARO NEGREDO (MIDDLESBROUGH) – 7.5
Alvaro Negredo has at times been frustrating this season for Middlesbrough, but he’s still been one of their most potent attacking threats.

Facing his old club, Negredo was a menace to Manchester City’s defence throughout. His goal was fortunate – his shot looped off his standing leg while he was slipping and went in off the post – but it was fair reward for a strong performance that earned a vital point for his relegation-threatened side.
5. DELE ALLI (TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR) – 7.5
When Dele Alli missed a sitter in the first-half, which was soon followed by a point-blank Christian Eriksen miss, Spurs may have begun wondering if it would be another tale of woe against bitter rivals Arsenal.

But this team is made of sterner stuff, and perhaps no one epitomises that more than Alli. The precocious youngster kept going, and was alive in the box to tuck home a rebound in the second-half. His hunger to get to that ball while four Arsenal players stood watching showed a contrast between the two sides, and made sure Spurs would not suffer another North London derby heartbreak.
