Rico Lewis (Manchester City): I person really picked some full-backs from Manchester City. I thought Lewis and Rayan Ait-Nouri were excellent. They offered a batch going guardant and were defensively solid. Lewis offered that awesome assistance to Erling Haaland.

Rayan Ait-Nouri (Manchester City): Ait-Nouri handled nan crippled excellently against his aged club. He was defensively coagulated and offered a load going forward. They person managed to find that left-back solution, which they person struggled pinch for a agelong time.

William Saliba (Arsenal): Saliba produced a coagulated capacity against Manchester United. A 1-0 triumph contempt United intelligibly being nan amended squad - Saliba is nan stone of that defence. He didn't put a ft incorrect and showed his people again. Arsenal person to triumph thing this play if they want to support him.

Dan Ballard (Sunderland): I was location astatine nan Championship semi-final erstwhile he scored nan extremity to get them into nan final, and he group nan spot alight. I tin only ideate really he is emotion aft his first Premier League goal. The spot will person erupted and he was fantabulous for that.

Ethan Ampadu (Leeds United): In holding midfield, Ampadu was excellent. He had a really nasty tackle, and it looked for illustration he could person done harm to his ankle, but he was excellent. He showed nan armband, headed everything, tackled everything, and was really fierce successful his passing forwards - he was nan catalyst for Leeds to spell connected to win.

Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest): Next to Ampadu is Anderson. That done shot unsocial gets him successful nan team. He has go an extracurricular equine for being successful nan England squad for nan World Cup. We thought past twelvemonth could person been a spot of a fluke pinch Forest, but he was nan driving unit against Brentford. That walk done to Chris Wood was perfectly weighted and a batch of players would person rushed and tried to footwear nan shot away, but he played nan pass.

Tijjani Reijnders (Manchester City): Reijnders produced nan champion capacity of nan weekend. A batch of group wouldn't cognize overmuch astir him if they don't watch Serie A, but he was awesome for AC Milan. He's people a number 10 and was asked by Pep to play a small spot deeper, and I thought he was excellent. His flick for Lewis showed his value and his left-right touch erstwhile he hit 2 players showed he could not only woody pinch nan physicality, but that he has that creativity. His decorativeness was conscionable beautiful - to conscionable walk it into nan corner.

Mohammed Kudus (Tottenham): Up front, Kudus was fantabulous for Spurs connected that correct side. He conscionable looks for illustration he had a caller lease of life. He has gone into a Spurs squad that needs him to play good and he looks for illustration he will turn exceptionally pinch this team.

Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth): Semenyo scored 2 goals for Bournemouth, and he was nan cleanable illustration for a young subordinate - aliases immoderate subordinate successful wide - erstwhile there's thing antagonistic aliases immoderate adversity towards you. He told nan referee what had gone on, but past he grew successful stature and that was a existent people of nan man. He scored 2 goals and unluckily wasn't connected nan winning team, but he was a victor for really he handled it.

Richarlison (Tottenham): In nan mediate I could person gone for Wood (Nottingham Forest) but chose not to, and I could person gone for Haaland (Manchester City) but I chose not to. I chose to spell pinch Richarlison astatine Tottenham. He has had a really reliable commencement pinch injuries, but Thomas Frank decided to commencement pinch him complete Dominic Solanke and Richarlison repaid him pinch 2 awesome goals. Really bully link-up play, awesome moving successful behind. It's a World Cup twelvemonth and that could beryllium nan catalyst for him to really footwear on.

Richarlison

Last play was a reliable 1 for Richarlison astatine Spurs, missing agelong periods pinch injury. He has deed nan crushed moving successful 2025-26, though it was clip spent disconnected nan crushed that was astir awesome astir his opening time against Burnley - scoring a superb bicycle kick, 1 of 2 goals he netted connected Saturday.

It was nan Brazilian's first Premier League double since scoring 2 against erstwhile broadside Everton successful February 2024, while he's nan first Spurs subordinate to people 2 connected opening time since Harry Kane successful 2019-20 - a play Kane ended pinch 18 Premier League goals. The aforesaid for Richarlison successful 2025-26 would beryllium very good received by Spurs supporters. Just 8 much doubles to go…

Tijjani Reijnders

It was an incredibly awesome debut for midfielder Tijjani Reijnders, who became nan first subordinate to people and assistance connected his Premier League debut while playing for Manchester City since Sergio Aguero successful August 2011. Perhaps surprisingly, it's only nan 2nd clip successful 179 top-flight appearances successful his profession that he's achieved that feat.

Only Erling Haaland had some much shots and much touches successful nan guidance container against Wolves than Reijnders (3 shots, 5 touches successful box), while only Nico Gonzalez made much successful last 3rd passes than nan Dutchman (20). A standout debut to build connected - and nary City subordinate has ever scored and assisted successful each of their first 2 appearances before.

Virgil van Dijk

Reigning champions Liverpool sewage their play disconnected to a winning commencement against Bournemouth and - successful a crippled they scored 4 goals - their standout subordinate was skipper Virgil van Dijk.

In what was his 235th Premier League quality for nan club, Van Dijk posted his champion totals for some clearances (17) and headed clearances (14), and his joint-best for aerial duels won (12). He was nan first subordinate to station each those totals successful a azygous Premier League lucifer since Jan Vertonghen successful December 2016, and nan only Liverpool subordinate Opta has connected grounds to do so.

He whitethorn person turned 34 complete nan summer, but Van Dijk is still a colossus for nan Reds.
