It was another hectic weekend of Premier League football, with Liverpool extending their lead at the top of the table as Leicester City drew, whilst Manchester City battered Arsenal 3-0. Sheffield United got one over on their Championship rivals in Aston Villa, as a John Fleck brace helped the Blades to a 2-0 victory at Bramall Lane. Here are today’s Premier League winners and losers.

2. L - Dwight Gayle
Gayle had his chance to make a mark for Newcastle United when presented with a golden opportunity late on at Burnley, yet missed from two yards. Does a Championship move beckon next month? Photo: Jan Kruger

4. L - Jamie Vardy
Vardy thought he’d extended his scoring run to nine games in a row against Norwich City, but his header went down as a Tim Krul own goal. The opportunity to break his own scoring record has been lost. Photo: Michael Regan
