#2 Defensive bedrock: Artur Boruc
Match: Manchester United vs. AFC Bournemouth
Boruc jumped, punched, kicked and dived to his left and right – all the while being at the right place at the right time and denying Paul Pogba, Wayne Rooney, Anthony Martial and Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
There was also the small matter of a penalty save with the scores tied at 1-1.
Let’s just put it this way – if it were not for this man, there is no way in the world that the Cherries would have managed to hold off the Red Devils and steal a vital point at Old Trafford.
It also ended Bournemouth’s run of losses and Eddie Howe must have been a pleased man.
Honourable mentions: Jan Vertonghen (vs. Everton), Glen Johnson (vs. Middlesbrough), Mamadou Sakho (vs. West Brom), David Luiz (vs. West Ham)
