The Danish keeper sported two saves in the game, to hand Leicester an emotional victory over Cardiff.

Schmeichel who looked disturbed during the brief silence before the start of the game, Schmeichel was forced into an early save after a long shot from Bobby DeCordova Reid.

He pulled off another stunning save at the near post from Josh Murphy’s effort.

Schmeichel has been reasonably quiet this season with Hart and Fabianski hogging the headlines. His performance against the Bluebirds should please Puel after a sorrow week draws to a close.

Left-Back - Benjamin James Chilwell (Leicester)

Ben Chilwell provided a peach of a cross from the left wing to find Demarai Gray who slotted the volley to put the Foxes 1-0 up.

Putting in a strong performance for Leicester, he has impressed Puel winning 37 aerial battles and 35 clearances in this season so far.

His attacking intent down the wings has been impressive with 496 completed passes this season.

He practically got one through to Jamie Vardy in the 87th minute only for the linesman to adjudge Vardy off-side.

Right-Back - Seamus Coleman (Everton)

Irishman Seamus Coleman scored his first Premier League goal this season after his 50th-minute low drive from outside the box put the Toffees back in the lead.

Coleman found himself in unchartered territory far too often in the game before pulling off a clinical finish.

He provided Sigurdsson with a low delivery early in the sixth minute of the match. The Icelandic midfielder could not make good contact with his right foot as it whizzed past the goal.

Centre-Back - Christopher Wolfgang Georg August Schindler (Huddersfield)

The corner from Chris Lowe got cleared by the Cottagers in the first attempt. They drilled it back from the left wing towards the penalty area. Schindler rose above the Fulham defenders at the back post to nod the ball in which struck Fosu-Mensah on the way in to for an own goal.

The win would have pleased David Wagner as it pushed Jokanovic’s side to the bottom place. Fulham is yet to record a clean sheet this season, and it looks to remain the same as they take on a red-hot Liverpool team in an away fixture.

Left Wing - Leroy Sané (Man City)

The German midfielder was in sparkling form with two assists and a goal as they thrash Southampton 6-1 at home.

In the sixth-minute, Sane's cross to the centre of the box got deflected by Wesley Hoedt for an own goal.

Sterling and Sane combined well before Sane provided Silva with a weighted pass to power in a half-volley to put City 3-0 up.

A fast break saw Sterling on the run who crossed it to Sane who blasted a low drive past McCarthy late in injury time to compound the misery on the Saints.

Sane should have scored his first in the 62nd minute when his shot clipped the left post off Aguero’s assist.

Leroy Sané free-kick flew high over the crossbar in the 87th minute and provided two glorious passes to Aguero who missed one hitting wide of the post while they deemed the other offside.

Felipe Anderson was in sparkling form for the Hammers with six through balls this season finding himself ranked fourth in the league.

With a vulnerable Burnley defence, West Ham took complete advantage of the situation hammering four goals to take three points.

Felipe Anderson drilled a left footed shot through the legs of Hart to find the bottom right corner from Grady Diangana’s assist in the 68th minute to put the Hammers back in the lead.

Felipe Anderson scored his second goal after his right footed shot from the centre of the box took a deflection before settling into the goal.

A fabulous weighted pass from Felipe Anderson found Marko Arnautovic reeling off a left-footed shot which found Hart blocking it with his legs for a corner.

Arnautovic set up Felipe Anderson beautifully who curled the ball in towards the goal which got past Hart but got headed off the line by Ben Mee to deny Anderson.

In the 80th minute, he got denied yet again by the right post from his chip shot through Arnautovic’s assist.

Snodgrass had earlier supplied Anderson with two beautiful crosses of which one got blocked out, and the other got saved by Hart.

He also provided a telling cross to Obiang, but his final shot went high and wide off the right post.

He played a crucial role in the Hammer’s fourth goal when his long pass was chested down by Antonio to Chicharito who slotted it home.

After he mistimed his initial short, Sterling maintained his composure to drill the ball home with Agüero providing the assist. Aguero set up Sterling yet again with a weighted pass as he drilled past the diving Alex McCarthy to claim his second goal of the match.

In a sensational match which the Spurs eventually won 3-2 against Wolves after a nervous last ten minutes.

Raul Jimenez’s exceptional performance almost clawed the game back to the Wolves as Mauricio Pochettino’s reaction after the whistle summed up the mental state of the Spurs team.

Nuno Espírito Santo would have been a dejected man to end on the wrong side of the result after an exceptional performance from his lads.

Jimenez missed an early opportunity in the 11th minute when he skewed the ball high over the crossbar from Doherty’s cross.

He set up Cavaleiro in the 21st minute which got blocked by the defence, and later Jiménez got off-sided after Hélder Costa found him with a through ball. In the 40th minute, yet another right footed shot from Jimenez got blocked off by a sturdy Tottenham defence.

A dubious offside call on Matt Doherty disallowed Jimenez's goal before the first half. Jimenez raised the Wolves hopes after Juan Foyth clumsily tackled him on his Premier League debut as referee Mike Dean pointed to the spot. Neves made it 3-1.

Foyth gave away a second penalty after catching Jonny on the run. Jimenez stepped up to send Lloris the wrong way and slotted the ball home to make it 3-2.

Centre Forward - Sergio "Kun" Agüero (Man City)

Sergio Agüero leads the scoring shots with seven goals, along with Aubameyang and Hazard in the Premier League. He should have had ten goals to his name if not denied by the woodwork.

He ranks second in the assists column with four to his name and has an incredible 51 shots on goal from his eleven games this season.

He scored a goal and two assists in their 6-1 thrashing of the Saints at the Etihad Stadium.

Aguero was swift to pounce on a cross from Sterling’s cross to slot the ball in from close range for his 150th Premier League goal.

He later set up Raheem Sterling with a cutback cross from the byline which made it 4-1 at the end of the first half.

Aguero and Sterling’s combination proved effective yet again, as Aguero set up Sterling, who drilled the ball through the legs of Alex McCarthy.

Aguero had set up Leroy Sane thrice in the match of which one got deemed offside, and one struck the post while another sailed over the crossbar.

Morata was in red-hot form for the Blues, leaving Roy Hodgson with a worried expression on his face as the Eagles are still awaiting a victory after four defeats, and two draws in their last six games.

Morata scored Chelsea’s first in the 32nd minute after Pedro set him with a cross in the centre of the box. Morata’s exceptional first touch set him up handsomely for a fierce volley past Wayne Hennessey.

Hazard provided the assist for the second goal within seconds after he came off the bench. An unmarked Morata drilled a powerful shot towards the far post to put Chelsea back in the lead.

Morata sent a header high over the bar from Alonso’s assist, while another of his effort got blocked after Willian provided him with a through ball.

An exceptional save from Hennessey late in injury time, denied Morata a hat-trick after Hazard found him clear with a through ball.
