Our Premier League Awards honour the best – and worst – of the weekend action, featuring Phil Foden, Reece James and Harry Wilson.
Moment of the Week
The fight to be England’s number ten at this summer’s World Cup is a competitive one. Morgan Rogers has been in possession of the shirt of late, as Cole Palmer, Jude Bellingham and Phil Foden have battled for fitness and favour.
This weekend, Foden sent a reminder to Thomas Tuchel of his quality. The 25-year-old bailed out Manchester City against Leeds, scoring twice as Pep Guardiola’s side overcame a potential banana skin.

A lovely guided finish opened the scoring inside a minute, before Foden displayed the neat footwork in tight areas that he’s become known for to fire in a 91st minute winner.
Foden is getting back to his best in a blue shirt, in encouraging news for club and country. How crucial could this winner prove to be in the title race, after Arsenal dropped points the following day?
Player of the Week
Moving full-backs into midfield has not always been a successful experiment for Premier League managers in recent years. Reece James’s rehoming for Chelsea, however, is beginning to look astute.
The Chelsea captain was immense as his side held Arsenal at Stamford Bridge, despite navigating a 38th-minute red card for midfield teammate Moises Caicedo. In his absence, James was everywhere, leading Chelsea with calming presence and elite duel-winning.
He’s likely to be at right-back, fitness permitting, for England next summer, but James has shown he can go toe-to-toe with the best midfields in Europe.

Goal of the Week
The term ‘wand of a left foot’ is overused but it certainly applies to Fulham’s Harry Wilson.
The vision, audacity and execution of this goal ensured Fulham left Tottenham Hotspur with three points and bragging rights. Guglielmo Vicario will not want to watch this one back…

Save of the Week
Winless Wolves must be wondering when they’re luck is going to change. The Premier League’s bottom club came up against an inspired Emi Martinez this weekend, with this save from Yerson Mosquera the best of the lot.
It’s five wins on the spin for Villa, who are sitting pretty in third. Their early season struggles are firmly in the rear-view mirror.

Stat of the Week
Bruno Fernandes has now provided more Premier League assists (56) than Manchester United great Paul Scholes (55). Impressive enough, but when you realise he’s played 291 games less than Scholes it puts the achievement on another level.
Magnifico.
56 – Bruno Fernandes now has more Premier League assists for Manchester United (56) than Paul Scholes (55). Only Ryan Giggs (162), Wayne Rooney (93), and David Beckham (80) have provided more for the Red Devils in the competition. Climbing. pic.twitter.com/qmJW8DPZ2i

A week to forget for…
No shortage of contenders for this one.
Guglielmo Vicario’s gift for Fulham saw the Spurs shot-stopper booed by his own fans this weekend, while Moises Caicedo’s ugly challenge on Mikel Merino resulted in a first-half red card and left Chelsea up against it against Arsenal.
Lucas Paqueta’s avoidable red card for West Ham might just be the worst of the lot. The Brazilian talked himself into back-to-back yellow cards for dissent from Darren England, before sarcastically applauding the officials as he left the pitch. His exit all but ended West Ham hopes of recovering a result against Liverpool.
