It was another frantic weekend of Premier League action across Saturday and Sunday, with plenty of talking points, controversy and surprise results.

The most eye-catching of those was West Bromwich Albion's shock win at Manchester United, while Arsenal moved to the top of the table thanks to a victory away to Swansea City.

Manchester City went down in a classic at Villa Park and Liverpool got back to winning ways as they saw off Sunderland. Meanwhile, Southampton, Hull City, Cardiff City and Norwich City also enjoyed successful weekends.

With those matches in mind, Sports Mole selects the 11 players who made their mark on proceedings.
