Garth Crooks' team of the week: De Gea, Mahrez, Firminho

Best bits:

On Tripper - There wasn't much to separate Spurs and Watford in this encounter apart from Kieran Trippier's penetrating runs down Tottenham's right flank. In fact it was Trippier's darting runs that in the end became Watford's undoing.

The full-back looked desperate at times to get into the action and never looked fazed in the opposition's penalty area. His slide-rule finish was indicative of his measured performance.

On Morgan - Leicester City lifting the Premier League title doesn't sound so ridiculous anymore, although I still have a problem visualising Wes Morgan and his team-mates holding the trophy aloft at Stamford Bridge on 15 May.

On the Leicester vs City game - I had to see it to believe it. Manchester City 1-3 Leicester City. It was like a fox chasing chickens in a coop. I can't remember when I saw so many non-performances by a cast of City superstars.

On Borthwick-Jackson - With such an illustrious name as Cameron Borthwick-Jackson, you had better be good at something.

On Lingard - This is a player who can play but also score goals. I suppose you would expect that from a Manchester United player but one journalist sitting next to me at Stamford Bridge asked if I thought he was ready for England. When you can play like that away at Chelsea for Manchester United and score goals past one of the best keepers in the world, I think you're ready.

On Shelvey - The ball he provided for Aleksandar Mitrovic to go on and score past Ben Foster was just superb. With the arrival of Andros Townsend, Shelvey has another moving target to set his sights upon.

What a pity Steve McClaren couldn't convince Saido Berahino to sign for the Magpies in the transfer window. Add a player like that into the mix and suddenly Newcastle are cooking with gas again.

On Mahrez - Seven games without a goal, but when you can finish like Riyad Mahrez who cares? He provided the cross for Robert Huth to score Leicester's opener. Mahrez then proceeded to waltz round Martin Demichelis to score a fabulous goal and put the game well and truly beyond Manchester City.

At this point it suddenly occurred to me that this lad only cost Leicester City £400,000, while Manchester City's Raheem Sterling cost £49m. Which rather begs the question 'how does football come to terms with such a difference in value between two almost identical players?' What's more - and it aggrieves me to say it - on this showing, Mahrez looks a better player.
