Tammy Abraham took his Premier League goals tally to double figures with a fine strike in Chelsea's 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.

The England striker averages a goal every 90 minutes in the league and now sits one behind Leicester City striker Jamie Vardy on 11 this term.

There were other fine performances over the weekend, most notably from Anthony Martial. The Manchester United forward wasn't on target in the 3-1 win over Brighton & Hove Albion but assisted on two of the goals for teammates.

Liverpool opened up a nine-point lead over second-placed Manchester City with a 3-1 win at Anfield. No surprise then to see two of Jurgen Klopp's charges in the team of thew week.
