Mauricio Pochettino's Tottenham undoubtedly delivered the biggest upset of the weekend as they brushed aside Manchester City at White Hart Lane.
Pochettino's players excelled, with a number of his stars earning a place in our 'Team of the Week'.
Elsewhere, Manchester United were held to a 1-1 draw at Old Trafford by a struggling Stoke side while Leicester City stalled against Southampton at the King Power.
Arsenal maintained their winning run as Laurent Koscielny snatched a last-minute winner to give the Gunners three points on Arsene Wenger's 20th anniversary.
It was a weekend of missed chances though, as the number of goals dropped to 20 compared to last week's tally of 34, with half of the fixtures ending in a draw.
West Ham's clash against Middlesbrough ended all square at the London Stadium as Slaven Bilic's side continue to languish at the bottom of the table while Watford were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth.
