Mohamed Salah (Liverpool): It’s just excellent, isn’t it? Every time I think he’s going to slow down or he’s ready to leave, he gets better and better. Get another goal and assist on a great weekend for Liverpool, after Manchester City lost. It was a chance for Liverpool to get going and they were excellent against Aston Villa.
Matheus Cunha (Wolves): There are few games I’ve attended this year where I look at a player and think “he’s better than any other player on that field.” But Cunha was much better than Southampton and his Wolves teammates. It was at a higher class level. Look at the way he carries the ball and the defensive work he does; and it was the first time my wife scolded me for shouting at a goal, when she shot into the top corner. So he gets extra credit for making me lose my cool.
Yoane Wissa (Brentford): Two more goals for Wissa, who goes unnoticed. When Ivan Toney was at Brentford he was the main man and now everyone thinks this is Bryan Mbeumo’s team, but in the last 18 months Wissa has been excellent. When fit and available, Brentford look a suitable team.
Alejandro Isak (Newcastle): A first time on the team this season for Isak. He scored a goal and an assist against Forest and had a great combination game. He also could have scored another goal in the second half. When Newcastle faced him, he said “well, look at this.” He can go up a level and drag his team with him.
