Gameweek 6 of the Premier League saw some enticing matchups. Chelsea took on Manchester City on Saturday, while Arsenal hosted Tottenham Hotspur in the first North London Derby of the season on Sunday.
This gameweek saw 26 goals scored across the ten Premier League games, with four games ending in draws. There were huge wins for the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal and Aston Villa, while Brentford and Burnley put in good performances as well.
Unsurprisingly, a lot of players shone during the Premier League Gameweek. On that note, here's a look at five such players.
Special Mention - Jamie Vardy (2 goals and an own-goal in the draw against Burnley)
Trending
#5 Michail Antonio (West Ham)
Michail Antonio picked up where he left off for West Ham in their 2-1 Premier League win against Leeds United. The striker had missed the last three games across all competitions for the Hammers, but marked his return with a goal.
Antonio was a menace throughout the game as Charlie Cresswell and Liam Cooper could not handle his pace and physicality up front. The striker constantly harassed the Leeds defenders by hounding them whenever they had the ball. The Jamaican was also the most fouled player during the game.
The 31-year-old took his goal very well, latching on to Declan Rice's through ball before coolly slotting it past Illan Meslier. Antonio has now scored five goals in as many Premier League games, and does not look like slowing down any time soon.
#4 Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton)
Abdoulaye Doucoure continued his impressive campaign with a dominant display for Everton in their 2-0 win against Norwich City.
The Frenchman was everywhere for the Toffees, putting in an absolute shift in midfield. Doucoure played as a box-to-box midfielder alongside Brazilian Allan and completely took over the game. The 28-year-old made an astonishing 13 ball recoveries, and won six duels on the night.
He also got forward well, scoring Everton's second of the game with a rasping shot past Tim Krul. That strike has taken Doucoure to two goals and three assists in the Premier League season so far.
Doucoure has been one of Everton's best players this season. So Rafael Benitez will hope he can stay fit for the rest of the campaign.
#3 Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal)
Emile Smith Rowe announced himself to the Premier League in some style on Sunday. His talent was always there for everyone to see, but the midfielder never had the goal contributions to back that up.
However, the Englishman showed why Arsenal decided to give him the no. 10 shirt, producing an outstanding display against Tottenham Hotspur. Smith Rowe was a constant threat during the game, completely taking over the left flank. Spurs could not handle his directness and pace on the ball as the Gunners dominated the first half.
The midfielder made an intelligent late run into the box to open the scoring for Arsenal. He then made a lung-bursting run down the left flank to set up Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang for the Gunners' second. Smith Rowe truly had his best game in an Arsenal shirt against their biggest rivals.
#2 Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
Bukayo Saka produced another top performance, and just seems to be getting better every game. The Englishman ran the Tottenham Hotspur defence ragged, especially in the first half.
Saka got on the ball and attacked the Spurs defence, putting his side on the front foot throughout the game. His pace, flair and directness made a mockery of Tottenham's backline on the night.
The Englishman humiliated Sergio Reguilon for Arsenal's first goal of the game, setting up Emile Smith Rowe for a tap-in. Saka also stuck to his defensive duties well, helping his full-backs deal with the threat of Heung-min Son.
Saka showed great improvisation to score Arsenal's third of the game after the ball fell kindly to him following Harry Kane's challenge. The Englishman created four chances during the Premier League game, the most by any player, showing that he could be key for Mikel Arteta this season.
#1 Jose Sa (Wolverhampton Wanderers)
Jose Sa put in a stellar performance in goal for Wolves, who beat Southampton 1-0 on Sunday. The shot-stopper was immense, shutting out a resilient Saints side, and surprisingly picking up an assist as well.
Sa made an incredible six saves in the Premier League game, including a brilliant double save early on in the second half. The Portuguese keeper commanded his box well during the game, and frustrated the Southampton attackers.
The keeper also bagged the rare feat of picking up an assist during the game. His long ball was controlled well by Raul Jimenez before the striker weaved through the Southampton defence to score.
Sa's performance helped Wolves notch their second Premier League win of the season. So Bruno Lage will hope that the team can build on this result and kickstart their Premier League campaign.
