It's as you were at the top of the Premier League

The don’t call Fernando ‘the octopus’ for nothing

The Manchester City midfielder needed every inch of his exceptionally long legs to hook home the opening goal against West Brom.

 

A Yaya Toure penalty made it 2-0 before David Silva added a third before half-time with a typically classy finish.

In fact it was all so easy for City that even James Milner was busting out his best moves.

West Brom got a goal back but the snow was the main talking point of the second half.

Elsewhere, ‘Aarry Kane kept up his remarkable scoring record for someone who doesn’t actually appear to be that good at football by giving Spurs the lead at Leicester.

 

Leonardo Ulloa equalised from the penalty spot but Christian Eriksen gave Spurs another 2-1 away win as his free kick somehow crept in at the near post. Remember when Everton were the most upwordly mobile team in the Premier League? Well they’ve now been leapfrogged by Stoke after Bojan’s penalty took all three points at Stoke.
