Kelechi Iheanacho
The Ivorian striker is one talented kid. On a night when Manchester City looked like they had no way past Southampton, Iheanacho provided them with a lifeline as he scored their equalizer. He aimed from close-range as another young recruit, Leroy Sane delivered a pretty impressive cross.
Sofiane Boufal
New signing Sofiane Boufal really put the pressure on Manchester City as he came on for Dusan Tadic with 30 minutes to go. He didn’t look like he was playing for the visiting side at all as he looked hungry to attack and go back home with a win over their hosts.
Jamie Vardy
Jamie Vardy isn’t having a party this season yet but he came on looking hungry with 15 minutes of the game left to play. While he had no concrete impact on the game, just having him on as an added threat was enough to keep Crystal Palace at bay.
Manager

The Italian’s 3-4-3 formation might have seemed foolish for the Premier League but his players have vindicated his convictions. And most importantly, he was very involved in his team’s game, even when they were four goals up.
