#4 Riyad Mahrez
Starting in place of Raheem Sterling, who was rested for the trip to Villa Park, Riyad Mahrez produced a stunning display away from home as he capped off a fine performance with 2 goals and an assist to his name. The Algerian international completed 100% of his dribbles and had a pass success rate of 90%, as he combined with Sergio Aguero to devastating effect.
Manchester City dominated proceedings right from the get-go with Mahrez in the thick of the action, as he scored twice in the opening exchanges of the game to put the reigning champions on their way to a big victory. While Aguero stole the spotlight with his record-breaking hattrick, the former Leicester man was at the top of his game, as the Cityzens registered yet another victory in the Premier League.
#3 Abdoulaye Doucoure
After an underwhelming start to the season that saw them rooted to the foot of the Premier League standings, Watford have undergone a renaissance of sorts under new manager Nigel Pearson, as the Hornets have climbed out of the relegation zone against all odds.
In what was viewed as a relegation six-pointer at the Vitality Stadium, Bournemouth were put to the sword by the away side, as Watford registered a stunning 3-0 victory, with Abdoulaye Doucoure in the thick of the action. The dynamic midfielder has been one of the standout players under Pearson and enhanced his reputation further with an industrious performance in the centre of the park, as he registered a goal and an assist.
With an 80% pass success rate, Doucoure also completed 75% of his tackles and aerial duels as he contributed to both phases of play to devastating effect. Doucoure is one of Watford's prized assets and his form will be crucial if Watford are to extend their stay in the Premier League.
