Premier League 1st Sep 2018: Top performers and report card from Liverpool, Chelsea & Manchester City games 

Manchester City – Kyle Walker

He can outrun Usain Bolt on the Football pitch!

Manchester City is so dominant in possession, but they lack ruthlessness in the absence of De Bruyne and Leroy Sane. Raheem Sterling and David Silva both performed brilliantly, but Kyle Walker was the one who saved the day for Manchester City on their 10th anniversary with a stunning 30-yard rocket that would make Aguero and also the Twitterati proud.

Kyle Walker's whizzbang and his lightning pace were a delight to watch. He provided the winner when the opposition defence was well organized and their goalkeeper seemed impossible to beat. He could be the main asset for Pep Guardiola's side in their pursuit of retaining the Premier League.
