Harry Kane has big balls & nothing can stop Mo Salah: 7 things we learned from the Premier League this weekend

Jim Daly learned things this weekend and now he's forcing you to do the same

Harry Kane has big balls

Metaphorically of course although he and childhood sweetheart girlfriend Katie Goodland are expecting their second child so apologies for that image I've now put in your head.

His boss at Tottenham, Mauricio Pochettino, though was talking about Kane's nerves of steel when he referenced the no.10's massive cojones after he stepped up to take - and score - a 94th minute equalising penalty at Anfield having missed one in front of the Kop minutes earlier.

"He is one of the best strikers," Pochettino told a post-match press conference. "He is so calm. To score 100 Premier League goals you need big, big balls."

Oh and it was his 100th Premier League goal too by the way and his 31st in 32 games this season. PFA Player of the year, anyone?

Mo Salah cannot be stopped

Mo Salah's incredible first year at Liverpool shows no signs of slowing down as he grabbed his 20th and 21st goals of the season in Sunday's thrilling 2-2 draw with Tottenham. He now sits on 28 goals in 33 games in all competitions which is hugely impressive for anyone, not least a player in a team that isn't winning everything *cough cough Kevin de Bruyne*.

Not since Luis Suarez in 2014 has a player from a team who didn't win the title take home PFA Player of the Year (although that was Liverpool missing out on the title in slightly different circumstances to this season), but Salah should be in contention alongside Kane once award season rolls around.

Mhkityrian and Aubameyang could be deadly

It had been 18 months since they last played together at Dortmund but it looked like they hadn't been apart for a single day as Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang were reunited at Arsenal and instantly tore Everton apart.

The Armenian laid on three assists on his home debut including one for the Gunners' record signing who converted despite being massively offside.

Despite losing top scorer Alexis Sanchez in the transfer window they may have somehow got the best out of that deal given how quickly Mkhitaryan seems to have settled at the Emirates and how suited he seems to Arsene Wenger's footballing philosophy.

After a disastrous January where Arsenal lost to Swansea, Bournemouth and Nottingham Forest Gooners will be hoping the potential Mkhitaryan and Aubameyang have together turns thing around quickly.

No-one is undroppable at Man United

Even being the Premier League's most expensive ever import and the fourth costliest player of all time doesn't protect Paul Pogba from being dropped.

The £89m midfielder was replaced in Manchester United's starting lineup for Saturday's clash against Huddersfield with youngster Scott McTominay. United went on to win 2-0 vindicating Jose Mourinho's decision and after the game he explained why he did it.

“Sometimes against opponents like Huddersfield, who play so close, with so many bodies, sometimes simplicity is genius. You have to open space by playing simple, so it was a decision to play the kid," he said.

“I changed a few players and the intention was not to punish anyone. To punish anyone, I also need someone to punish me because we are a team."

At least it keeps everyone on their toes.

Just the 10-team relegation battle

While the title is all-but over baring the greatest collapse by a team leading the Premier league ever, down the bottom things are much more interesting.

With 12 games to go anyone from Watford in 11th could still go down with just seven points separating the Hornets and bottom placed Swansea.

And with a handful of those teams down there suddenly finding form, including Bournemouth who haven't lost since December 23rd, it could be a very tasty run-in indeed. The Cherries, Brighton and Southampton all got big wins this weekend to give themselves breathing space from the bottom three while Swansea have only lost one of their last six under new boss Carlos Carvalhal.

The less said about Alan Pardew at the Baggies, though, the better.

Guardiola sends least subtle message ever

Manchester City, a club who has spent £312m this season on new players was unable to fill their match day quota and started Saturday's draw at Burnley with just six of the required seven substitutes.

Was this Pep Guardiola sending a guarded message to the rest of the Premier League that opposition need to stop injuring his players? They currently have seven men out, the third highest in the division currently, although Palace, Watford and Burnley who all have more out would be positively snorting with derision at Pep's petulance here.

Was it a message to the City board that he needs yet more spending this summer to fill his squad with players good enough to sit on the bench to Turf moor for 90 minutes?

Whatever his message it was delivered you have to feel sorry for anyone in the Man City academy.

Everton are 'crap'

Well, were crap at Arsenal. Not my words, the words of Toffees manager Sam Allardyce.

"We’ve got £20m Theo Walcott and £30m Yannick Bolasie and if you’d put him out there he wouldn’t have done any better than the rest because the whole team played crap,” said and angry Allardyce after the game.

“I was angry. I’m still angry. I think accepting an instruction is part of a player’s responsibility at the level required."

Its hard to argue with the big man - or centre-back Ashley Williams - given his side were 4-0 down after 37 minutes and given that they have won just three of the 12 league games since Allardyce took over, Everton fans are right to be looking over their shoulder despite being seven points clear of the drop in 10th, precariously peeking over the edge of that 10-team relegation scrap below them.
