Joe Willock became the youngest player to score six games in a row in the Premier League, while Allan Saint-Maximin dazzled with his skills and even Miguel Almiron and Jonjo Shelvey looked much more like their old selves.
Here’s Liam Kennedy’s player ratings from another successful night at SJP...
9. Miguel Almiron - 8
Does feel like against Man City and again today we’re seeing a little bit more of the Paraguayan. Played much further forward as the game wore on and he was at his free-running best. Photo: STU FORSTER
10. Allan Saint-Maximin - 8
What a player. He’s turned up with the want to entertain. Some unbelievable runs from all over the park. Quiet in the last two games – not this time around. Shame he picked up an injury to end his night. Photo: CARL RECINE
11. Joelinton - 6
Some solid enough hold up play to link things up top. But picked up what looked like a dead leg from a challenge just before half time. Photo: Alex Pantling
12. Dwight Gayle - 6
(for Joelinton 46) Decision making at times was off. Photo: MOLLY DARLINGTON
