Jamie Vardy

Liverpool stymied Leicester for long periods until a moment of individual brilliance from hotshot Vardy opened the game up. The Foxes frontman struck a magnificent volley in the second half, a strike shown by the league's official site:

BBC and BT Sport pundit Gary Lineker wasn't shy about praising the bold skill and the finish:

Despite Vardy's prolific form this season, this goal represented a surprising rarity for him, according to Sky Sports Statto:

But the poacher inside Vardy soon resurfaced when he latched on to a deflection and steered home his second. WhoScored.com detailed how reliant Leicester have been on Vardy for goals:

But as long as their main man up front continues finding the net, the Foxes will remain legitimate title contenders. 

Sergio Aguero 

Aguero continued his awesome start to the new calendar year when he pounced on a deflected drive from winger Jesus Navas. The Argentinian striker produced a calm and cool finish to put City ahead at one of their least favourite grounds.

Squawka Football detailed how prolific Aguero has been since the start of the year:

BBC Sport noted how much the 27-year-old has dominated in league action recently:

With Aguero in this kind of form, City look like genuine title favourites. Keeping the former Atletico Madrid man fit will prove crucial to those hopes.

Dele Alli and Harry Kane, Seven and 15 Goals

Tottenham's impressive league form gathered pace following a comprehensive away victory at Carrow Road. As usual, the Kane and Alli double act was the difference for manager Mauricio Pochettino's men.

The latter struck first, cementing his reputation as one of the brightest young talents in England's top flight. In fact, Alli's goal put him above some illustrious company in Premier League annals, according to Squawka Football:

The teenage gem has already matched the exploits of one of England's previously highly touted midfielders, per OptaJoe:

The 19-year-old is developing at a rapid rate, but Kane is already established as a prolific star. He tucked home a penalty to double Spurs' advantage, a goal that proved his inspired recent form:

The penalty was won by Alli, who ran the game for Spurs before the break. Kane netted the third in the second half, a finish that puts him in select company among the division's deadliest marksmen:

With two stellar talents such as Kane and Alli surrounded by a core of solid players, it's no wonder Spurs are exceeding expectations this season.  

The continued good runs enjoyed by both Leicester and Spurs help sum up this unpredictable Premier League season. But both squads are where they are on merit. It's the underachieving big guns who really need to do more.
