The shot-stopper even completed four accurate long passes and one pass into the final third.

Defenders

Dominik Szoboszlai (Liverpool) - 8.1

Liverpool enjoyed a resounding win against Newcastle on Saturday, and Szoboszlai was once again one of their key contributors despite featuring out of position at right-back.

The Hungarian international was a constant creative threat and completed a match-high 17 passes in the final third, as well as two accurate crosses, one dribble, two clearances and four tackles.

Ibrahima Konate (Liverpool) - 8.0

Another impressive Liverpool performance came from defender Konate, who found the back of the net on his return to the side following some time away to grieve the death of his father.

Konate looked back to his best form at Anfield and further contributed with 10 clearances and two successful tackles.

Marc Cucurella (Chelsea) - 8.2

Chelsea came from behind to defeat West Ham 3-2 on Saturday evening, with the Blues 2-0 down at half-time.

Cucurella was introduced for the second period and helped to completely change the game for his side, even finding the net to initially equalise at Stamford Bridge.

The Spaniard also remained reliable defensively with six duels won and three successful tackles.

Midfielders

Noni Madueke (Arsenal) - 8.9

Arsenal winger Madueke enjoyed a stellar performance in the Gunners' 4-0 win away at Leeds.

The Englishman registered a goal and an assist, first setting up Martin Zubimendi's opener before then netting directly from a corner.

His showing earned an 8.9 Flashscore rating, the highest of any in the Premier League this weekend, making Madueke our Player of the Week.

Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) - 8.3

Liverpool star Wirtz is starting to find some consistency in the Premier League and continued his good form in the Reds' victory against Newcastle.

Wirtz grabbed a goal and an assist at Anfield and was perhaps unlucky not to have more after creating two big chances and making 12 passes in the final third.

Xavi Simons (Tottenham) - 8.4

Simons was central to Spurs' 2-2 draw with Manchester City and was one of his side's main threats in attack throughout the match.

The midfielder registered a match-high five shots, five successful dribbles and two big chances created in what was an exceptional showing from the Dutchman - and he was rewarded with an assist to top it off.

Forwards

Rayan Cherki (Manchester City) - 8.1

Another top performer in the draw at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium was City star Cherki.

The Frenchman got on the scoresheet early in the match and remained a threat throughout - completing two dribbles, two crosses and six passes in the final third.

Dango Ouattara (Brentford) - 8.1

Ouattara netted the only goal of the game as Brentford defeated Aston Villa 1-0 at Villa Park, despite having a man sent off near the end of the first half.

The winger put in a superb shift at both ends of the pitch and, on top of scoring the winning goal, he won five duels, made one accurate cross and one successful dribble.
