And that's not including Friday night's controversial south coast derby between Brighton and Southampton.

Moving onto Saturday's 3pm action, and Bournemouth forward Justin Kluivert created Premier League history.

He became the first player to ever score a hat-trick of penalties in the Cherries' 4-2 win away at Wolves.

Meanwhile Brentford striker Kevin Schade became the fourth German player to score a Premier League treble.

He proved to be the star of the show in the Bees' comeback 4-1 win over Leicester, which saw new Foxes boss Ruud van Nistelrooy watching on from the stands.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace equalised at the death against Newcastle at Selhurst Park with Daniel Munoz cancelling out Marc Guehi's own goal.

And Chris Wood brought up his ninth league goal of the season in Nottingham Forest's win over Ipswich.

Finally, Arsenal beat West Ham 5-2 in Saturday evening's London derby, which saw a record-equalling seven goals scored in the first half.

Mikel Arteta's side also become the first team in Premier League history to score 60 away goals at a single tournament.

Winners

Justin Kluivert

The Dutchman scored two spot-kicks in the first half, before making history with his third in the second period.

It's been 67 years since a player in the top-flight has scored three penalties in the same match, with ex-Chelsea defender Cundy left almost speechless by his feat.

He said: "It's not often you see history being made in the Premier League, especially at this stage when you think of the history of how long the Premier League has been alive.

"But the first player ever to score a hat-trick of penalties, and I believe I'm right in mentioning Evanilson is the first player ever to win a hat-trick of penalties in the same game.

"He must be fuming he's not on pens, but you know what? It's all about taking it, so congratulations to Kluivert."

Daniel Munoz

The Colombian right-back missed a sitter in the first half, but made amends by rescuing a point for the Eagles in dramatic fashion with his header too hot for Nick Pope to keep out.

His mess from point-blank range led former Tottenham midfielder O'Hara to say: "He was going to be on our losers!"

Cundy then remarked: "He missed a chance, wait until you see this, he's at the back post, it's on his left foot, goal gaping, comes off the end of his toe, he doesn't get good contact, if he hits the target it's a goal.

"But he misses the post, and you think to yourself, 'Is he going to be in the losers?'

"Well no, he manages with the last header of the game pretty much to get himself out of the losers and into the winners."

Kevin Schade

The 23-year-old scored his first Premier League goals of the season against the Foxes having failed to find the back of the net in the previous 12 matches this term.

Schade scored twice in the first half to help seal Brentford's comeback, before wrapping up the win in the 59th minute.

Speaking of the four-cap Germany international, Cundy stated: "A hat-trick for him, you talk about Ivan Toney leaving Brentford, 'Where are the goals going to come from?'

"Well, Kevin Schade steps up."

His treble at the Gtech Community Stadium has seen Thomas Frank's men move up to seventh in the table.

Losers

Jarred Gillett

The Australian referee was on VAR duty for Southampton's clash with Brighton which saw the Saints denied a late winner.

Cameron Archer thought he had fired Russell Martin's men in front, but it was deemed by VAR that an offside Adam Armstrong was in Seagulls goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen's line of sight.

Having his say on the incident, Cundy said: "By the letter of the law, Archer's goal was chalked off because Armstrong was in an offside position.

"So being in an offside position on the field of play, that is not a crime in itself, you can be offside in an offside position, it's when you become active.

"And VAR deemed that Armstrong became active when he tried to play the ball off his heel when the ball was behind him.

"I personally think the goal should stand, but they've gone for letter of the law.

"Has he tried to touch the ball? You have to say yes, but then they're trying to say that it impacted Verbruggen, I don't believe that, because the ball was behind Armstrong."

Jose Sa

The Wolves goalkeeper, who clashed with his own supporters, was guilty of a poor performance at Molineux - giving away Bournemouth's second and third penalties.

He inadvertently took out Evanilson after the Brazilian pipped him to the ball, before clattering into him later in the game.

Commenting on his display, O'Hara said: "Jose Sa obviously deserves to be in there today, he's had a howler, he's had a stinker.

"There's no getting away from it, he's cost his team today."

Cundy then added: "He has. For him to dwell on the ball, credit to Evanilson, he's sharp, he's a quick boy, he reads it, gets there.

"Jose Sa decided to boot him in the ankle, and then second half, Evanilson goes through, Evanilson is 60/40 in his favour.

"Jose Sa comes through and slides him down, nowhere near the ball, pretending he got a little whack on the head to try and put the referee off the scent.

"Referee wasn't having any of it, gives the penalty and books him."

Julen Lopetegui/West Ham

The Hammers were 4-0 down against the Gunners after just 36 minutes.

Despite halving the deficit to 4-2, the east London outfit soon fell 5-2 behind and failed to have any answers for their visitors.

Lopetegui watched on from the stands having been given a one-match touchline ban, but he still made into Cundy and O'Hara's losers.

Cundy pointed out he had no influence from the stands, but O'Hara wasn't having any of it, as he stated: "Well even more so! Double stinkfest from him!

"He had to sit in the stands and watch it, he might have left [before full-time]."

The Hammers have now lost three home London derbies in a row for the first time since 2008
