Game week six of the English Premier League saw 25 goals being scored, with Manchester City thumping past Cardiff City with a 5-0 scoreline.

Burnley recorded their first Premier League win of the season after a power-packed performance against Bournemouth to win 4-0. Sean Dyche would be a relieved man after getting his team's first victory, which lifted them off the bottom position in the league standings.

Liverpool continued their fairy-tale run, winning their sixth match after crushing Southampton 3-0.

Manchester United and Chelsea dropped crucial points this week after they drew their games with Wolverhampton Wanderers and West Ham United.

Let's look at the players who impressed during Game week six.

GOALKEEPER

Lukasz Fabianski - West Ham United

Manuel Pellegrini should be a happy man after his team's performance against Chelsea, particularly with Fabianski, who pulled off six saves in the match to keep the scores level. His effort to deny Morata in the 66th minute with the ball hitting him flush in the face and the stoppage-time save with a low dive to his left from Ross Barkley's effort were outstanding.

DEFENDERS

Joel Matip - Liverpool

He won the aerial duels in defense, which, combined with his attacking gameplay, helped the Reds to a 3-0 victory against Southampton.
