Even by their standards, this has been a dismal performance from Tottenham. Every Palace player seems to have five yards of space

Leicester have been utterly miserable under Van Nistelrooy. Surely goes down as one of the worst managerial performances in PL history

Not a good first 45 from Chelsea. Haven't beaten a top-half team since December 1 - and you can see why

If Southampton hold on (which they surely won't), would that be the biggest shock in Premier League history?

Another disappointing performance from Ebere Eze, this. Overcomplicates things & takes too many touches far too often. Just three direct goal involvements this season
