Iain Macintosh casts his eye over the best and worst of the action from the Premier League during the opening week of 2017.
HEROES
We've now seen exactly why Real Madrid are reported to be watching Dele Alli with such interest. He's technically excellent, he's clever, he's tenacious and he's in such a rich vein of form that he's now scored seven goals in four games. Two crosses, two headers, two goals and Chelsea's incredible winning run is over. Not that Tottenham's victory was his and his alone. The entire team were heroes on Wednesday, snapping at their opponents from the first whistle, almost as if they were seeking bloody vengeance for something from last season.
