Ezri Konsa scored in Aston Villa’s 2-0 victory over Wolves to round off a fantastic week. The 26-year-old, who made his England debut over the international break, completed a career-best season with another confident performance for Unai Emery’s team.

With 94.1% pass accuracy, he was a productive ball user at right-back and won 5 out of 8 ground duels. A fortunate second goal, when the defender’s dinked pass dropped in at the far post, crowned a strong performance.

William Saliba – Arsenal

Arsenal missed William Saliba‘s influence greatly in this matchup last season, and the Frenchman gave his customary composure and coolness to Arsenal’s goalless draw against Manchester City.

Saliba’s ability to read the game is exceptional, and he frequently finds himself in the right spot at the right moment to impact defenses. He set records for touches (50), duels won (8), possession won (8), clearances (5), and possession won in the middle third (4) for his colleagues at Arsenal.

This season, in two league meetings against Erling Haaland, he has held the Norwegian to 0 shots on goal.

Harvey Barnes – Newcastle

Newcastle’s hero after scoring twice off the bench to end a nail-biting match at St James’ Park between West Ham and Newcastle. Following his arrival, Barnes immediately made an impression, forcing Lukasz Fabianski into a fantastic save before evading the offside trap to tie the score for the Magpies.

He finished the comeback with a game-winning goal in the ninetieth minute, dodging Kalvin Phillips’ challenge and twisting an incredible attempt into the far corner. After a disappointing debut season in the North East, this may be the beginning of the end for the former Leicester player.

Oli McBurnie – Sheffield United

In a performance that demonstrated the Scot’s value to this team, he engaged Fulham’s center-back in fierce combat. With a stunning move, he set up the first goal by arcing an outside-of-the-boot cross into Ben Brereton Diaz’s path.

After that, McBurnie scored his own second goal, his third in his previous four Bramall Lane appearances, while Brereton Diaz repaid the favor.

With just Brian Deane having scored more goals than the 27-year-old, he is now Sheffield United’s second-highest goalscorer in the Premier League era.

Alexis Mac Allister – Liverpool

Another outstanding effort by Mac Allister, one of the Premier League’s most productive players at the moment. The Argentine controlled the game against his old team, Brighton, at Anfield, using his passing range to go past the Seagulls.

The mastermind of Liverpool’s midfield, he skillfully constructed the team’s winning goal by sliding a pass into Mohamed Salah. His ability to control the game’s tempo did not lessen his involvement off the ball, as the 25-year-old intensified his defensive efforts. outstanding in every way.

Josh Cullen – Burnley

This past weekend, Josh Cullen scored his first Premier League goal—and what a blast it was! The midfielder tied the score against Chelsea with an outside-of-the-boot shot.

The Republic of Ireland international won both the Players’ and Clarets’ Player of the Season titles the previous season, but he and his colleagues have found it difficult to make the transition to the elite league.

Against Chelsea’s expensively built midfield, he played a much better game, providing superb forward play, notably the pass for Dara O’Shea’s goal, and keeping his back four well-protected.

Josko Gvardiol – Manchester City

Even though the Premier League champions drew against Arsenal and dropped points, Josko Gvardiol’s impressive performance will be a bright spot. Although the defender hasn’t exactly wowed everyone in his debut season at the Etihad, he turned in one of his better performances this weekend for the Citizens in an unfavored left-back spot.

He outplayed Bukayo Saka in his duel, finishing the first half with a perfect record in tackles, dribbles, and duels while providing five crosses at the other end. Saka, on the other hand, was unable to finish a single dribble, cross, or generate a chance during the first forty-five minutes.
