Another high-scoring week of Premier League fixtures has seen the table shaken up again, as Manchester City moved further ahead at the top while Liverpool dropped out of the top four.
The biggest match of the weekend saw Leicester City come from behind to beat Liverpool 3-1 and cement their spot in the Champions League places, while their opponents fell to sixth.
Mohamed Salah initially put the Reds ahead, but a quick-fire treble from the Foxes saw them take all three points.
Their equaliser came when James Maddison’s free-kick crept into the far corner before Jamie Vardy capitalised on another Alisson mistake to put his side ahead, which was swiftly added to by Harvey Barnes.
Victory for the Foxes felt even sweeter the next day when second placed Manchester United could only manage a 1-1 draw with West Brom.
Mbaye Diagne netted his first for the Baggies, which was cancelled out by Bruno Fernandes as United had to settle for just a point to go back level with Leicester in second.
These dropped points meant that City were able to extend their lead at the top of the table with an emphatic 3-0 win against Spurs.
City finally scored from the penalty spot through Rodri, which was added to by a brace from Ilkay Gundogan, the Premier League’s player of the month for January.
Another club to capitalise on those around them dropping points were Chelsea, who comfortably beat Newcastle 2-0.
Olivier Giroud and Timo Werner found the back of the net as the Blues overtook Liverpool and moved into the top four.

Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored his first Premier League hat trick, with Hector Bellerin also netting to help the Gunners to victory
A point for Aston Villa in their 0-0 against Brighton helped them closer to the top six, with other results going in their favour.
Everton had a disappointing 2-0 loss to Fulham which – when coupled with Spurs losing – helped Dean Smith and his players get closer towards the European spots.
