Crystal Palace drew their weekend match against Manchester United as they were able to bring a point from Old Trafford for the first in the Premier League history. He made five terrific saves in the match and we can say that he was the main hero in the goalless draw in the Old Trafford.

Hennessey was very much careful with his powerful reflexes. The 31-year-old goalkeeper stopped every shot from Pogba, Lukaku and Martial. His cool-minded goalkeeping and superb performance against the Red Devils made us pick him as the goalkeeper of the game-week 13.

Centre-back: Christopher Schindler

Huddersfield defeated Wolverhampton Wanderers at Molineux Stadium. Wolves started the match as the favourites but, the 6th-minute goal from Aaron Mooy helped Huddersfield to snatch an early lead.

After conceding an early goal Wolves were looking more dangerous than they were at the start of the match. At that time, Schindler single-handedly stopped Wolves forwards. His hard work helped Huddersfield to win the game with a clean sheet.


Centre-Back: James Tomkins

Crystal Palace kept a clean sheet and we have already talked about the brilliance of Hennessey. But we must remember one thing that one team couldn't survive without a strong forward as like one goalkeeper couldn't keep a clean sheet without the help of his fellow defenders.

Tomkins did all the right things for his club. Just because of his strong marking on Martial, Manchester United's left winger failed to find some free space to shoot. Tomkins showed his true sprite as his team confirmed to grab a point from the theatre of dreams for the first time


Left back: Sead Kolasinac

His lofted cross found the legs of Bournemouth midfielder Jefferson Lerma who made Bournemouth concede an own goal in the 30th- minute. His clinical pass found Aubameyang who snatched the lead and the match for the Gunners in the 67th-minute of the match.
