NEW Dream Team sensation Gareth Bale took his tally to 52 points from the past five weeks with a Star Man double.
The Welsh wideman struck in either half as Tottenham beat Blackburn 4-2.
That took Bale to 17 points for the match - continuing a bumper spell launched by a hat-trick and 25-point haul in a 4-2 loss at Inter Milan on October 20.
But Cesc Fabregas is still matching his North London rival, notching Arsenal's second goal on his way to Star Man honours in a 2-1 victory at Everton.
Danny Welbeck's non-stop menace earned the on-loan forward a late strike and the top-player bonus as Sunderland won 3-0 at leaders Chelsea.
And Ricardo Fuller was similarly rewarded for his own livewire role in the weekend's other big upset.
He prodded the opener in Stoke's first defeat of Liverpool for 26 years, a 2-0 triumph clinched in the final minute by front-partner Kenwyne Jones.
Federico Macheda and Nemanja Vidic netted in the last five minutes to rescue a 2-2 draw for Manchester United at Aston Villa.
Ashley Young (71 minutes) and Marc Albrighton (76) struck earlier in a breathtaking climax, with Villa's Star Man winger Stewart Downing prominent.
Charles N'Zogbia underlined his fine form as a rating of nine that easily made him man-of-the-match in Wigan's 1-0 success over West Brom.
Three players took Star Man awards from 0-0 draws - Fulham defender Brede Hangeland at Newcastle, Birmingham right-back Stephen Carr away to Manchester City, and West Ham playmaker Mark Noble at home to Blackpool.
Bolton's unsung rise to fifth place led to a top-performer bonus for Johan Elmander, whose sixth goal of the season helped see off Wolves 3-2.
