"Caoimhin Kelleher (Brentford): We are struggling for goalkeepers this week, if I'm being totally honest. However, to play how he played against Arsenal and make a critical save right at the end was huge. The save against Gabriel Martinelli was probably the deciding factor that got him into the team. Lamare Bogarde (Aston Villa): If you looked purely at stats, you would have said Aston Villa should have absolutely thrashed Brighton..."
"Virgil van Dijk (Liverpool): Obviously gets the goal, but up at Sunderland - that wind, that crowd and the pitch was really poor - the ability to be a class above everyone else. He made sure Liverpool weren't really stretched. Defensively it was all Virgil van Dijk. Marc Guehi (Manchester City): He looks like he's been playing for Manchester City for about eight years. Solid, composed, wonderful on the ball - he's just fitted in seamlessly."
"Bashir Humphreys (Burnley): Probably one of the best performances of the week, and for him this season. Very strong in a tackle, offered loads going forward and defensively solid. Mateus Fernandes (West Ham): He's one of those players that looks like he would infuriate me, both to play with and against. He did all the ratty things really well. He's got high energy, he's young, talented and he's the heartbeat of the team."
Caoimhin Kelleher produced a crucial late save against Gabriel Martinelli, earning recognition for his match-defining intervention. Lamare Bogarde performed strongly at right-back for Aston Villa despite being a midfielder by trade. Virgil van Dijk dominated defensively at Sunderland, scored, and ensured Liverpool were not stretched. Marc Guehi appeared composed and integrated, helping to secure a clean sheet in a 3-0 win. Bashir Humphreys offered a physically commanding display with strong tackles and forward contributions. Mateus Fernandes supplied high energy, tenacity, and creative influence from midfield.
