Chelsea, Leeds United, Liverpool and Tottenham moments all caught our eye over the Christmas period.

Eden Hazard & N’Golo Kante

Two of the Premier League’s best linked up for what would have been a sensational goal for Chelsea against Brighton.

Our favourite thing about this is that it was described as “titillating” on Reddit.

Leeds United

As far as free-kick routines go, distracting the goalkeeper so he pulls down a member of the opposition’s shorts is a new one on us.

What a hit from Pablo Hernandez too.

Harry Kane

You know the people moaning about how calendar records aren’t a thing? They’re the same people that go on about how Harry Kane can’t score in August.

Whether you like the record or not, the fact remains the same: Harry Kane is brilliant.

🦁 Harry Kane in 2017:

⚪️ Games: 50
⚽️ Goals: 56
🎯 Assists: 10
🎩 Hattricks: 8
🥇 Player Of The Month: 2
🔥 Most @PremierLeague Goals Scored In One Year
✅ Highest Scorer In Europe's Top 5 Leagues for 2017

Simply Incredible 😳🔥👏 pic.twitter.com/MV7G706RZG

Philippe Coutinho

The Premier League is really going to miss him when he goes to Barcelona.

Steve Defour

How very f*cking hell.

Antonio Conte

Football managers often have a frosty relationship with the media, but Antonio Conte showed himself to be the ultimate gentleman in toasting the press after Chelsea’s victory over Brighton.

Huddersfield vs Stoke

Blue and white stripes vs red and white stripes is properly wonderful.

Plus, it featured this goalmouth scramble.

George Weah

He’s done it. The former Ballon d’Or winner has become the president of Liberia.

Still not as good as his goal against Verona, mind.

Congratulations @GeorgeWeahOff ! Former Ballon D'or winner & Current President of Liberia #African_Players #Liberia2017 pic.twitter.com/jOy8VqKmD0
