Mohamed Salah's contender for goal of the season in the 2-0 win against Chelsea was his first at Anfield in two months and may well be the strike that secures Liverpool the Premier League title.

Lucas Moura staked his claim for a starting berth in Tottenham's Champions League quarter-final return leg against Manchester City with a sensational hat-trick against Huddersfield Town.

Ryan Fraser's man-of-the-match performance against Brighton & Hove Albion moved Bournemouth up to 12th place while Nathan Redmond's double in Southampton's win over Wolves moved the Saints a step closer to Premier League safety.
