Highlights from Manchester United's win over Bournemouth in the Premier League.

Last week's table-topper Heung-Min Son slipped into runner-up spot after Spurs suffered a 3-1 defeat to Wolves at Wembley, despite claiming an assist for Harry Kane's (No 4) opener in the first half.

Everton full-back Lucas Digne retained his position at No 3 after excelling across a raft of stats in the Toffees' 1-0 defeat at Brighton, while Felipe Anderson (No 5) slid down the chart after West Ham lost 2-0 at Burnley.

Liverpool forward Roberto Firmino (No 6) hit a hat-trick in Liverpool's sensational 5-1 win over Arsenal, with team-mate Mohamed Salah (No 8) converting from the penalty spot and assisting Sadio Mane at Anfield.
