#3 Paul Pogba wins the battle against Mousa Dembele

Manchester United v Tottenham Hotspur - Premier League
The Frenchman was immense, while the Belgian looked out-of-sorts

After a lot of speculation surrounding his relationship with United boss Jose Mourinho and his apparent dissatisfaction in being a sidelined from the Red Devils' starting XI, Pogba seems to be back on his feet and answering his critics in style, in the last few games.

He was immense on the day, and it was his pinpoint cross that saw his team equalize just 13 minutes after Alli had put Tottenham in front. Mousa Dembele, on the other hand, had a not-so-memorable night as nothing went right for the Belgian midfielder.

The central midfielder is usually a solid and strong performer for Spurs but looked completely off-colour on the day. Pogba produced a sensational turn against him in the first half to set up Sanchez's goal.
