#3 Standout player: Eden Hazard
Match: West Ham vs. Chelsea
The little Belgian is back to his very best and on this night, delivered a performance that served as a worthy (almost weekly now) reminder of why he was player of the season just over one year ago.
With the ball at his feet, he weaved magic on the pitch; his goal was every bit as sublime and catchy as it looked.
West Ham defenders would not want to be anywhere in his vicinity when he is in this sort of form – just one silky touch away from leaving them for dead. This would, of course, be a sentiment likely to be echoed by most of Premier League outfits’ backline.
Against the Hammers, Hazard fashioned one exquisite goal and tormented the home side all evening; the highlight of the game, though, was when he took down the ball with the most wondrous of touches with his back! (If you missed the game, it is your loss; at least get rolling on the highlights – it is worth every bit!)
Honourable mentions: Adam Lallana (vs. Arsenal), Leroy Sane (vs. Sunderland), Harry Kane (vs. Everton), Nathan Redmond (vs. Watford), Marko Arnautovic and Ramadan Sobhi (vs. Middlesbrough)
