Dempsey scored a goal and laid on two assists as Fulham came from behind to draw with Tottenham.

Fernando Torres and Xabi Alonso scored two goals and six points each and full-back Alvaro Arbeloa earned five points for his clean sheet and assist.

Matthew Etherington’s two goals in West Ham’s 3-0 win at Reading were worth six points, while defenders Zat Knight (Aston Villa) and David Wheater (Middlesbrough) also collected six points each after scoring and keeping clean sheets.

Aston Villa, Blackburn, Liverpool, Middlesbrough, Manchester United, Newcastle and West Ham all kept clean sheets.
