Who were the best Premier League players from the weekend games? We take a look at the man-of-the-match performances in our hotlist.
Things haven't quite clicked for Eddie Howe's men this term but the introduction of Ibe soon changed their fortunes. The winger's sublime back-heel provided the equaliser and an equally cute assist for Jermain Defoe proved decisive, with Ibe becoming the first Bournemouth player to provide two assists in a single Premier League game.
A summer signing from Juventus, the midfielder showed his quality at Selhurst Park. Lemina played a part in June's Champions League final and shone for Saints, breaking up the play impressively and showing his passing range. A dominant presence.
As is so often the case when Huddersfield Town are in action, Mooy was the standout player as he dictated the tempo of the game from midfield.
The Australian playmaker completed the highest number of passes on the pitch (84) and created the most chances with three. He was always a threat with his pinpoint deliveries into the box from wide areas.
Pope was called in for his first Premier League start following Tom Heaton's injury and it was a busy afternoon for the 25-year-old at Anfield.
Liverpool dominated possession and had 35 shots at goal and every time Pope was called into action, he did his job brilliantly.
In particular, saves to deny Daniel Sturridge and Trent Alexander-Arnold stand out but the best was when he just got a touch onto Dominic Solanke's volley to tip it onto the crossbar and earn his side a well-deserved point.
With this man's delivery, Newcastle can have every hope of finishing in the top half this season.
Two assists for Ritchie at St James' Park on Saturday afternoon makes that four in his last three games. The Toon Army will continue to be a danger from set-pieces so long as the 28-year-old is gearing up to take them.
When City are in the mood they can be absolutely devastating, especially with Aguero as their spearhead.
It is not the first time he has tormented Watford either. The Argentine has been involved in 11 goals in five appearances against the Hornets, while he has now scored in eight consecutive away league starts.
His partnership with Jesus is flourishing and Aguero's treble on Saturday takes his tally to 175 Manchester City goals, just two behind club record scorer Eric Brook.
Brook's mark of 177 has stood since 1939 but it's a matter of when - not if - Aguero will break it.
Simply the only player who had a go. He got so exasperated by lack of movement ahead of him that he tried to go it alone too often. His work ethic cannot be questioned, as he never gave up.
In a game where Paul Clement knew his Swansea City box would be bombarded, Argentine Fernandez was the visitors' titan in defence.
Fernandez made a staggering 18 clearances at Wembley, eight more than any other player on the pitch, and more than the entire Spurs side combined. He also only lost possession three times.
An honourable mention must go to Fabianski for a string of excellent saves, but Fernandez was the star man.
In a game of few chances, Arsenal's midfielder produced the best of the lot, dancing past David Luiz and Cesar Azpilicueta two minutes before half-time and seeing his shot come back off the post.
But he was awarded the Man of the Match trophy for his all-round play, as he covered more distance than any other player (12.34km) and completed 42 of his 51 passes. It was an energetic, determined and stubborn performance that was at the core of Arsenal's best away display of the season so far.
Former United right back Gary Neville was full of praise for the Ecuadorian after the game, saying Jose Mourinho does not need to sign another right back.
"He's been absolutely outstanding for the last 18 months, two years. I had doubts as to whether it could last in the long-term with him, I thought it was more of a stop gap until they signed a right back. But he's the real thing. He is a top right back now; he's strong, quick, supports the attack, and doesn't make any mistakes.
"United don't need to sign a right-back. To think they signed Matteo Darmian as the right back, Valencia is head and shoulders above him."
