Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds 4-1 Crystal Palace)
The Leeds United striker continued his rich vein of form in front of goal as he netted a first-half double against Crystal Palace on Saturday.

Erling Haaland (Man City 3-0 West Ham)
Manchester City's prolific striker Haaland delivered two more goals and an assist to reach another Premier League landmark.
Haaland's three goal involvements in City's comfortable home win against West Ham United saw him pass 200 goal involvements in Europe's top five leagues – his current total of 201 is comprised of 77 in the Bundesliga and 124 in the Premier League.
The Norwegian opened the scoring in the fifth minute, capitalising on the rebound of his own saved shot, then set up Tijjani Reijnders for City's second before adding his 19th Premier League goal of the season in the second half.

Reece James (Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea)
James led by example as Chelsea fought back from 2-0 down to earn a valuable away point at St James' Park.
The Chelsea captain expertly halved the deficit early in the second half with a brilliant free-kick, providing the impetus his side needed to produce a stirring comeback.
It was James' second league goal of the season - as many as he netted across the last three seasons combined.

Keane Lewis-Potter (Wolves 0-2 Brentford)
Brentford’s run of four straight away league defeats came to an end against bottom side Wolverhampton Wanderers thanks to Lewis-Potter’s first goals of the season.
The midfielder struck twice in the second half to help the Bees climb up to 12th in the table.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa 2-1 Man Utd)
Rogers' irresistible run of form continued with two superb goals - one in each half - to ensure Villa remain just three points off top spot with a seventh consecutive Premier League win, and 10th across all competitions.
England midfielder Rogers is at the very top of his game right now and his brace, the first an unstoppable finish and the second a sublime curler, saw him become the first Villa player since Dion Dublin in 1998 to score at least twice in back-to-back Premier League matches.

Anton Stach (Leeds 4-1 Crystal Palace)
Stach continued his outstanding home form, making it three goal involvements in the last three games as he curled home a sublime last-minute free-kick to cap off another memorable night at Elland Road.
The midfielder was influential throughout, ranking first for key passes (five) and successful crosses (five), while also placing second among Leeds players for tackles won.

Nick Woltemade (Newcastle 2-2 Chelsea)
Woltemade put the disappointment of netting an own goal in last weekend's Tyne-Wear derby against Sunderland by redeeming himself with a superb quick-fire double inside the opening 20 minutes against Chelsea.
The Newcastle striker showed a classic goal poacher's instinct to slam home Newcastle's fourth-minute opener and then produced a sublime flicked finish for his second.
It is the first time the German has netted twice in the same match in the competition.
