Each week, we will compile a list of the 10 man of the match winners and asking you to vote for your standout performer.

You have 24 hours to vote, and at the end the player in first will receive five points, with second getting four, and so on, until fifth is awarded one point – there are no points for the bottom five of each vote.

These points then go to an overall ranking that will decide the Eurosport Player of the Season.

1. Liverpool 2-1 West Brom – Philippe Coutinho (5 points)

The Brazilian capped a scintillating display with a marvellous goal as Liverpool moved level on points with Premier League leaders Manchester City.

2. Chelsea 4-0 Man United – Eden Hazard (4 points)

Back to his best? The Belgium starred as Chelsea ripped their former manager's side apart, scoring his fourth goal of the campaign to match his haul from last season.

3. Hull City 0-2 Stoke City – Xherdan Shaqiri (3 points)

Shaqiri scored a brace of wonder goals to earn himself third spot - and an important win for Stoke, who clambered out of the relegation zone to ease the pressure on boss Mark Hughes.

4. Arsenal 0-0 Middlesbrough – Petr Cech (2 points)

Middlesbrough boss Aitor Karanka mused afterwards: "to come here and for Petr Cech to be Arsenal's best player, we did a really good job today." And his side did - except score past the brilliant Czech stopper.

5. Leicester City 3-1 Crystal Palace – Shinji Okazaki (1 point)

Leicester remain in the bottom half of the table, but at least they showed signs of their title-winning form with a comfortable win over Palace, with Okazaki the star of the show.
