Our Premier League Awards Celebrate the Best and Worst of the Weekend’s Action, Highlighting Liverpool’s Dominant Win and a West Ham Starlet’s Shining Performance.
Moment of the Week
Has this been the week the title race irrevocably shifted in Liverpool’s favor?
Arne Slot’s side dropped points during the week, feeling the pressure heading into the weekend. However, Arsenal’s slip-up at home against West Ham gave the Reds a golden opportunity at the Etihad.
Liverpool seized the moment, delivering a statement performance with a 2-0 victory over the reigning champions. It was their first league win at Manchester City since 2015.
The league leaders’ display was far from flawless, but it was the kind of performance befitting a team on the cusp of claiming the title. Mohamed Salah and Dominik Szoboszlai scored the goals, extending Liverpool’s lead to 11 points. Slot’s juggernaut will be incredibly difficult to catch from this position.
Player of the Week
West Ham have a proud history of producing top talent, and Oliver Scarles seized his opportunity in Graham Potter’s side this weekend. The 19-year-old was handed a daunting full debut against Arsenal, but he produced a standout display as the Hammers earned a 1-0 upset win.
Ollie Scarles’ 7 interceptions against Arsenal is the most by any Premier League player in an away game this season 👏

Scarles nullified the threat of Ethan Nwaneri and Raheem Sterling, becoming the first Premier League player in over a year to record 6+ interceptions and 6+ tackles in a single match. He led his West Ham teammates in touches, interceptions, tackles, recoveries, and passes into the final third – a truly dominant display. The future looks bright for this young talent.
Goal of the Week
Joao Pedro’s cheeky chipped finish was an absolute delight.
Brighton comfortably beat Southampton 4-0 at the weekend, pushing the struggling Saints closer to Premier League relegation. Pedro kick-started the rout for the Seagulls with a delightful, lofted effort over Aaron Ramsdale. A touch of Brazilian flair.

An honorable mention goes to this stunning strike from Bryan Mbeumo. The Brentford winger has now netted 15 league goals, and it’s high time he starts receiving the recognition he deserves.

Stat of the Week
Is Marcus Rashford rediscovering his best form?
After a difficult spell at Manchester United, the forward has made an immediate impact since joining Aston Villa on loan. Two assists off the bench this weekend continued his strong start in the Midlands.

Aston Villa fans are certainly enjoying their marquee new signings, but Glenn Whelan wasn’t having any disrespect from a fan reflecting on the club’s recent rise.
