Chelsea kept up the momentum and the seven-point gap over Manchester City – but it took them 89 minutes to find a winner.

A vital strike by the Brazilian, with 69 seconds of the 90 minutes to go was the beating of the returning Tim Howard – who looked for all the world like he could shut anything and everything out.

Willian was second in the poll, with a another great display from Nemanja Matic securing him third.
