Sunderland had 22 shots, seven of them on target, and failed to score. The superb Foster was the reason why.
Right-back: Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)

Centre-back: Wes Morgan (Leicester)
The league leaders’ captain fantastic popped up with his first goal of the season and kept another clean sheet as Southampton were seen off.
Centre-back: Daley Blind (Manchester United)
Kept Romelu Lukaku uncharacteristically quiet as Manchester United extended their excellent home defensive record.
Left-back: Martin Olsson (Norwich City)

Finally back in form, the Chilean scored one goal and made another as Arsenal demolished Watford with an emphatic display.
Centre midfield: Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Chelsea)
Making just the second league start of his career, the youngster set Chelsea on their way in a 4-0 hammering of Aston Villa.
Centre midfield: Manuel Lanzini (West Ham)
One of the signings of the season, the Argentine scored in fine fashion during the entertaining 2-2 draw with Crystal Palace.
Left midfield: Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
Tends to reserve his goals for high-quality opponents and dented Tottenham’s title tilt with a lovely first-time finish.
Striker: Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City)
Out since January, the Belgian showed what City had been missing by starting and scoring on his return.
Striker: Aleksandar Mitrovic (Newcastle)
It was in a losing cause, but the Serb excelled in a cameo, scoring twice to make his mark in the thriller at Norwich.
