Biggest Upset
Crystal Palace 4 - 1 Stoke City
Toss up with the Watford defeat of Man Utd but three of four games Stoke had come up against the current top 3 in the division and Palace are generally poor at home. Stoke have now conceded in a current league leading 15 consecutive games which is also their worst-ever in the Premier league
Chart of Week
One bright spark for West Ham has been the goal-scoring prowess of Antonio, especially in the air He has already scored 11 headed goals in just 31 games, many of them lining up at full back
The leader all-time is Alan Shearer with 46. Peter Crouch has beens stuck on 45 since May 2015 and is now usually an unused bench player (even when his team is four down)
