Recap 

City once again found their rhythm and booked a 15th consecutive Premier League win as they blasted Swansea 4-0 at the Liberty Stadium thanks largely to a David Silva-inspired performance.

The diminutive Spaniard usually acts as one of the brains behind City's organisation but spearheaded the attack on this occasion, netting either side of a Kevin De Bruyne strike to improve his rounded record, per Match of the Day:

Sergio Aguero also took his league goal record for the season into double digits, beating a few Swans defenders before dispatching the kind of astute finish for which he's become renowned.

The Citizens still hold a sizeable 11-point advantage over rivals United, who were themselves glad to get another win on the board through Lukaku's 25th-minute header.

The Red Devils defence took its seventh home clean sheet of the league season and made up for the chances missed in attack as Lukaku's record against the top-flight's lower ranks improved, per Bill Rice of BBC Radio Manchester:

Riyad Mahrez continued his surge back to form by bagging the opener at St Mary's Stadium, joined by team-mates Shinji Okazaki and Andy King as the Foxes built up a 3-0 lead before the interval.

Maya Yoshida managed to pull one back for Southampton on the hour mark, but that was as far as the march back went for the Saints. BBC Sport's Phil McNulty took note of the smug Leicester fans, who hired Claude Puel as manager in October following his summer departure from the south-coast club:

Okazaki added a second goal to complete the rout and hand Saints their worst defeat of the campaign.

Tottenham made the most of Liverpool and Arsenal's dropped points by beating Brighton 2-0 thanks to goals from Serge Aurier and Heung-Min Son.

Aurier was glad to get his first Spurs goal, although Men in Blazers detailed how only so much credit could be given for his cross from the right flank:

Arsenal were wasteful at London Stadium and drew 0-0 with West Ham United, who are off to a promising start under manager David Moyes following their win over Chelsea on Saturday.

Liverpool were similarly lacking in inspiration at home to West Brom and played out a dull draw despite starting Mohamed Salah, Philippe Coutinho, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

Sam Allardyce's quest to take Everton out of the relegation quagmire was further boosted by their 1-0 triumph at St James' Park, where Wayne Rooney scored his ninth goal of the Premier League campaign. Jonjo Shelvey received a second yellow card in the fourth minute of injury time, ending any late hopes of the Magpies equalising.

Days after his penalty clinched a point in the Merseyside derby, Rooney was the Toffees talisman again, pouncing on an error from Newcastle goalkeeper Karl Darlow to slide in a crucial 1-0 winner, cementing Everton in 10th place.
