5 things we learned in the Premier League this weekend: 5 billion watch Cherries

With another weekend of Premier League action in the books, we take a look back at some of what we learned from the latest slate of matches.

Newcastle ends Spurs' run

Liverpool last week, Tottenham this week.

Some great shocks from Newcastle, but it mustn't take away from Tottenham's achievement of going 14 games unbeaten in the league.

Mauricio Pochettino has put together the youngest team in the Premier League, and it shows as his players are keen to charge around like unruly terriers in their efforts to retrieve the ball - they can be a delight to watch.

Tottenham is currently a more convincing case for a Champions League spot than Manchester United, and unwittingly its Argentinian boss carries the hopes of a nation with his young English contingent.

Stop the world, 'The X Factor' is on

On Sunday evening, every Premier League footballer seemed to be curled up on the sofa, dabbing at their tears as they became overwhelmed by the voice of West Ham fan Louisa, a finalist on popular reality television show "The X Factor."

Manchester United's Luke Shaw and Leicester City's Danny Simpson were among those unashamedly lavishing praise on the vocal talents of the 17-year-old on social media, and numerous British publications ran a live feed on the programme like it was a huge sporting event.

Rio Ferdinand - someone who believes his opinion should always be heard - had his say on the show, but presumably got his thoughts a bit jumbled:

Louisa won, Rio didn't.

West Brom looks good to stay in division

West Brom is one of the dullest teams to watch in the Premier League, but it should carve out enough points this term to remain in the top flight.

It's all down to Tony Pulis - a gaffer who thinks tiki-taka is a dance move and would be given the shivers at any mention of gung-ho. He is still yet to taste relegation in over 23 years of management though, despite only overseeing clubs with limited resources.

The Baggies would have taken all the spoils at Liverpool on Sunday if it wasn't for a late Divock Origi deflected effort, but you can bank on them frustrating many more teams this season.

Petr Cech thwarts 169th Premier League lineup

After 11 successful years at Chelsea, and now four months at table-topping Arsenal, it's no great surprise that Petr Cech has drawn level with the Premier League clean sheets record.

What is surprising, however, is who he shares 169 blanks with:

Calamity James. He of the questionable hairdos and eyebrow-raising blunders. The man who represented Aston Villa, West Ham, Portsmouth and pre-wealth Manchester City.

It is worth noting, however, that he is the goalkeeper with the most appearances in Premier League history: 223 more than Cech.

The Gunners' shot stopper boasts clean sheets in over 48 percent of his games. The nearest to his tally in the top 10 is Pepe Reina, with shutouts in 47 percent of his 185 appearances.

No one watched the Euro 2016 draw

According to the Daily Echo, a paper hailing from the south coast of England, 68 per cent of the world's population was ready to shirk daytime soap omnibuses, fresh air, or the Euro 2016 draw - or ignore the fact that they don't have a television - to watch Bournemouth vs. Manchester United from Dean Court on Saturday.

It was quite the match, with the minnow trumping its illustrious opponent 2-1. But you already know that - you watched it.
