#3 Midfield
Kevin De Bryune – Manchester City
It looks as though the investment on Kevin De Bruyne is paying off real quick as he has now netted 3 goals to his goals in just 4 appearances for the Manchester outfit. Not only did he score in the weekend, he registered two assists to his name. The former Wolfsburg midfielder scored a spectacular volley against Newcastle United and it just goes to show more is yet to come from the young Belgian star.
Christian Eriksen – Tottenham
The Danish International saved Tottenham’ s blushes by scoring two wonderful free kicks in the weekend against Swansea City. It looks as though the player is back to his best despite suffering from a lot injury setback this season. Eriksen made his debut in the Premier League in Septemeber 2013 and no player has ever scored more free-kicks in the league than him. His tally of six includes two against Swansea.
Mesut Ozil – Arsenal
Ever since he made his club record move to the Emirates in the summer of 2013, the German international has been receiving sticks from the fans and pundits for not ‘showing up’ in the big matches. But this weekend, Ozil was in sublime form as he played a pivotal role in Arsenal’ s incredible victory over rivals Manchester United. The 26-year-old first set up the goal for Alexis Sanchez and then 74 seconds later, he scored one himself by slotting one home into David De Gea’ s corner.
Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal
The Chilean international was outstanding for the Gunners in their away trip to Leicester and he was even better this week against Manchester United. Sanchez opened the account for the home side when he scored an exquisite goal and his screamer for the second goal made it impossible for David De Gea to even get a fingertip save.
He has now scored six goals in three appearances for the North London club. Arsene Wenger is very lucky to have a player like Sanchez, who could have easily gone through the motions complaining of fatigue since his return from his Copa America success with Chile.
Sadio Mane – Southampton
Teams have gone to Stamford Bridge this season with one plan – to capitalize on Branislav Ivanovic’s lack of pace and Southampton did just that through Sadio Mane who troubled the highly experienced defender with his pace and guile. The Senegalese forward made life difficult for Ivanovic who got beaten so many times during the match. Last season, Mane was the star man of this fixture and last Saturday he replicated the same performance by scoring in the 60th minute. His movements were just too difficult to defend against.
