An exciting weekend of Premier League football was packed with a number of important and surprising results, as well as several standout individual performances.
12Goalkeeper: Bernd Leno (Arsenal)
In possibly his best performance since he joined Arsenal, the German was magnificent on Sunday, as he made several crucial saves; notably denying Romelu Lukaku and showed good general awareness as he commanded his area with the type of authority the Gunners have lacked for some time between the sticks.
12Defender: Willy Boly (Wolves)
The Frenchman turned in an excellent showing against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, as he nullified the threat of Gonzalo Higuain, Pedro and Eden Hazard for the majority of the game, until the latter popped up in stoppage-time to salvage a point for the home side.
12Defender: Lewis Dunk (Brighton)
You get the sense Dunk would have thrived in a bygone football era, where defending was never once considered glamorous, but appreciated by your team-mates. The blocks (four in total and more than anyone in the league this weekend), the tackles and clearances were all done with authority, as he came out on top in his battle against Wilfried Zaha and Michy Batshuayi, helping to earn the Seagulls all three points.
12Defender: Sead Kolasinac (Arsenal)
While all the talk about the Bosnian will about him vomiting on the pitch, it could very well be down to his exertions against United. A number of powerful runs forward, while equally astute in defence, Kolasinac played an integral part in helping Unai Emery’s side bounce back from their midweek defeat.
12Midfield: Sadio Mane (Liverpool)
Sunday’s brace against Burnley helped Mane match two club records, as he became the fifth Liverpool player to score in six consecutive Premier League home appearances, after Michael Owen, Fernando Torres, Luis Suarez and Mohamed Salah. He also reached the 50 goal mark for the Reds too. Impressive.
12Midfield: James Ward-Prowse (Southampton)
Under Ralph Husenhuttl, the Saints star is playing the best football of his career. Six goals in his last 10 appearances tell only half the story. His stunning free-kick against Spurs proved to be the winner and was his second dead-ball effort in a week (having struck against Manchester United). A strong contender to feature more regularly for England under Gareth Southgate.
12Midfield: Ryan Fraser (AFC Bournemouth)
A goal and an assist against Huddersfield mean Fraser has now scored six times and set up 10 goals, only Hazard has more assists in the Premier League. The Scotland international linked well with Callum Wilson throughout and his form is sure to attract the attention of the bigger clubs.
12Midfield: Eden Hazard (Chelsea)
For 92 minutes, Chelsea had struggled to break down a resilient Wolves side, who led with their only shot on target. It looked as if a three-match winning run was about to be ended, but the brilliant Belgian fired into the corner to salvage what could be a crucial point in the race for Champions League football. Hazard once again proved his worth and the Blues will be hoping he remains put come the summer.
12Striker: Jamie Vardy (Leicester)
The former England striker appears to have been given a new lease of life under Brendan Rodgers and has three goals in two matches since he took charge. His latest strikes were his 100th and 101st in competitive football, while he also teed up Youri Tielemans to score the opener in a 3-1 win over Fulham.
12Striker: Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Vincent Kompany called Sterling one of the best wingers in the world and on current form, it would be hard to disagree with the City captain. A hat-trick against Watford, mean it is 20 goals for club and country this season and the England international is making a stunning late push as a contender for the Player of the Year.
12Striker: Ayoze Perez (Newcastle)
Two goals down against Everton, the hosts need someone to step up and be counted if they were to get anything from the match. Perez answered the call; first he set up Salomon Rondon and then netted a brace within the space of three minutes to earn a 3-2 win.
