See who else made Richard Jolly’s starting XI by swiping left/right on your browser.
Goalkeeper: Claudio Bravo (Manchester City)
Recalled after traumatic outings against Everton and Tottenham Hotspur, the Chilean earned City a replay with fine saves from Jack Payne and Rajiv van la Parra.
Right-back: Shaun Cummings (Millwall)
The full-back showed his sense of adventure to pop up in the Leicester City box and score a last-minute winner for 10-man Millwall.
Centre-back: Sean Raggett (Lincoln City)
Scored perhaps the most famous goal in Lincoln’s history as they became the first non-league side for 28 years to knock out top-flight opponents.
Centre-back: Luke Waterfall (Lincoln City)
Set up Raggett’s winner but, just as importantly, the captain was a rock at the back as they kept a clean sheet against Burnley.
Left-back: Pedro (Chelsea)
Had some defensive difficulties as a left wing-back, but showed his attacking excellence by surging forward to score the opener against Wolverhampton Wanderers.
Right midfield: Christian Eriksen (Tottenham Hotspur)
The Dane returned to form with typical class, setting up two of Harry Kane’s goals in Spurs’ emphatic win over Fulham.
Centre midfield: Cesc Fabregas (Chelsea)
Provided a midfield masterclass with some wonderful passing as the Spaniard dictated play in the 2-0 win over Wolves.
Centre midfield: Philip Billing (Huddersfield Town)
A huge figure in the centre of the pitch, the young Dane showed his considerable promise as Huddersfield held Manchester City.
Left midfield: Henrikh Mkhitaryan (Manchester United)
Provided the pass of the weekend with his wonderful, arcing ball to set up Marcus Rashford’s equaliser at Blackburn Rovers.
Striker: Harry Kane (Tottenham)
A specialist in London derbies, Kane’s hat-trick at Craven Cottage took his tally to 23 goals in capital clashes and got Spurs back to winning ways.
Striker: Rudy Gestede (Middlesbrough)
A brilliant acrobatic volley against Oxford United showed the January signing is not just a target man who is good with his head.

Stewart Howison, co-founder of Cycle Safe Dubai and owner of Revolution Cycles
“When you sweat a lot, you lose a lot of salt and other electrolytes from your body. If your electrolytes drop enough, you will be at risk of cramping. To prevent salt deficiency, simply add an electrolyte mix to your water.”
Cornelia Gloor, head of RAK Hospital’s Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Centre
“Don’t make the mistake of thinking you can ride as fast or as far during the summer as you do in cooler weather. The heat will make you expend more energy to maintain a speed that might normally be comfortable, so pace yourself when riding during the hotter parts of the day.”

Tax authority targets shisha levy evasion
The Federal Tax Authority will track shisha imports with electronic markers to protect customers and ensure levies have been paid.
Khalid Ali Al Bustani, director of the tax authority, on Sunday said the move is to "prevent tax evasion and support the authority’s tax collection efforts".
The scheme’s first phase, which came into effect on 1st January, 2019, covers all types of imported and domestically produced and distributed cigarettes. As of May 1, importing any type of cigarettes without the digital marks will be prohibited.
He said the latest phase will see imported and locally produced shisha tobacco tracked by the final quarter of this year.
"The FTA also maintains ongoing communication with concerned companies, to help them adapt their systems to meet our requirements and coordinate between all parties involved," he said.
As with cigarettes, shisha was hit with a 100 per cent tax in October 2017, though manufacturers and cafes absorbed some of the costs to prevent prices doubling.

Haemoglobin disorders explained
Thalassaemia is part of a family of genetic conditions affecting the blood known as haemoglobin disorders.
Haemoglobin is a substance in the red blood cells that carries oxygen and a lack of it triggers anemia, leaving patients very weak, short of breath and pale.
The most severe type of the condition is typically inherited when both parents are carriers. Those patients often require regular blood transfusions - about 450 of the UAE's 2,000 thalassaemia patients - though frequent transfusions can lead to too much iron in the body and heart and liver problems.
The condition mainly affects people of Mediterranean, South Asian, South-East Asian and Middle Eastern origin. Saudi Arabia recorded 45,892 cases of carriers between 2004 and 2014.
A World Health Organisation study estimated that globally there are at least 950,000 'new carrier couples' every year and annually there are 1.33 million at-risk pregnancies.
