Following the latest round of Premier League action we’ve picked out stars who impressed on Game Week 16.
Pedro Porro – Tottenham

Tottenham put on a fantastic display as they defeated Newcastle in North London to go back on track. Down the right flank, Pedro Porro possessed significant influence. The Spaniard was always engaged in creating openings for Ange Postecoglou’s team.
Porro made three tackles, won four duels, and made three crucial passes, one of which was a fantastic floating pass that found Richarlison for the third goal. With five Premier League assists so far this season, Porro is second only to defender Kieran Trippier (7) in that category.
Vitaliy Mykolenko – Everton
With an unimpressive start to the Premier League, left-back Vitaliy Mykolenko was eager to return to Everton as soon as possible, cutting short his summer vacation to do so.
After a brilliant start to the season that has seen him reach his finest form ever for Everton, the Ukrainian is benefiting from his hard work. Cole Palmer and Raheem Sterling posed a danger to Mykolenko’s defense in the 2-0 victory over Chelsea at Goodison Park. Mykolenko won his defensive duels.
When the first goal was being built up, the 24-year-old made no defensive mistakes and let Dwight McNeil free with a sharp ball. Mykolenko’s recovery has been rather remarkable.
John McGinn – Aston Villa
John McGinn, who was brilliant over the week and once again exceptional this weekend, was the driving force behind Aston Villa’s impressive display.
McGinn is energetic and goes above and above for the cause. The Scotland international drove Villa forward and emerged victorious in ten duels. He finished with a neat turn and finish to score the game’s winning goal. The all-action midfielder is performing at his best now that he is playing on the left side.
Son Heung-min – Tottenham

Tottenham cranked on the flair in North London, thumping Newcastle 4-0 with two assists and a goal from Ange Postecoglou’s team. On his return to the side, the Spurs captain dealt a severe blow to his old comrade Kieran Trippier, comfortably defeating the England international to set up the first two goals.
Son completed an amazing afternoon’s work with his 10th Premier League goal of the season, scoring from the penalty spot. The South Korean has now scored 10+ goals in eight successive campaigns. Under Postecoglou, Spurs have occasionally shown off their offensive prowess, with Son providing the cutting edge.
Richarlison – Tottenham
Although Richarlison hasn’t always performed to the level expected at Tottenham, the Brazilian was in a good mood throughout this weekend’s rout of Newcastle.
Under Ange Postecoglou, the North Londoners have been entertaining to watch, and Richarlison benefited from the team’s daring approach by scoring twice as Spurs decisively stopped a five-game losing streak. The 26-year-old scored the second goal in a 4-1 victory by heading in Son Heung-min’s cross, and then he collected Pedro Porro’s ball to score the third.
Recuperated from his injury and back in the game, Richarlison will want to continue playing.
Dominic Solanke – Bournemouth

At Manchester United, Dominic Solanke set the tone for Bournemouth’s historic victory.
He scored the first goal with a wonderful flicked finish and then nearly scored again after hitting the crossbar. The second goal was created mostly by Solanke’s forward run, and before Dango Ouattara’s attempt was flagged for a handball, Solanke’s work rate almost produced a fourth.
Marcos Senesi – Bournemouth
With Andoni Iraola starting to make an impression on the south coast, he led Bournemouth’s backline brilliantly in a decisive victory over Manchester United.
Senesi made the most clearances (8) of any player while maintaining a solid back four. To head home the third goal and cap off an incredible victory at Old Trafford, the center defender lost Harry Maguire. The greatest show the Iraola period had ever produced.
Alisson – Liverpool

Alisson made two significant interceptions upon his return to the Liverpool team at Crystal Palace to guarantee the Reds’ victory at Selhurst Park.
When the score was tied, the Brazil international sprawled to deny Odsonne Edouard. In stoppage time, he stooped low to save Joachim Andersen’s header. For the most part of the season, Liverpool was not too active, but when needed, they were vigilant and quick to secure a crucial three points.
