Manchester United win again thanks to a late Scott McTominay header, City beat Everton, Liverpool also cruise past Burnley. Arsenal hit West Ham for 6 at the London Stadium to send out a warning to title rivals as we head into the critical period of the season.
Let’s rank the top 5 best players from Matchweek 24 of the 2023/24 English Premier League season.
Rodrigo Muniz
A sharp presence inside the box. The Brazilian looks like he is ready to settle in the Premier League after returning from a loan spell at Middlesborough.
An instinctive tap in after Bobby Decordova-Ried headed the ball into his path. He was also on hand to turn in a fantastic cross from Willian to put the game beyond Bournemouth on Saturday.
Erling Haaland
He is back, and back on top of the goalscorer’s chart just like that. Two late finishes from the League’s best striker was enough for Manchester City at home against a stubborn Everton side.
Haaland ended a mini goal drought in the Premier League that stretches back to November, although he was injured for most of that duration.
Declan Rice
Just edging out Bukayo Saka for his two goals against the Hammers, Rice was on another level against his former side on Sunday. His well-taken corner-kick started Arsenal’s day at the London Stadium.
He also delivered a fantastic free-kick for Gabriel to head home. He rounded up Arsenal’s performance with a stunning goal.
Rice created 4 chances for Arsenal, grabbed two assists and a goal, and also made 2 important recoveries. He was on another level on Sunday.
Bruno Guimarães
Guimarães was fantastic for Newcastle in midfield and in attack against Nottingham Forest. He scored a stunning goal after he met a deep cross from Trippier to give Newcastle the lead.
As the score was tied 2-2, Guimarães intercepted a misplaced pass just at the edge of Forest’s box, and he expertly stroked it past Matz Sels. His second goal proved to be the winner for the Magpies.
Conor Gallagher
Chelsea’s most efficient player on Monday night against Crystal Palace. The English midfielder created 3 chances on the night, took 3 shots, and scored two heavily important goals for the Blues.
His first of the night was a well taken one-time shot inside Palace’s box after a brilliant cross from Malo Gusto. His second was a calm finish just at the edge of the box, His goals gave Chelsea a much-needed victory, and also eased pressure on Mauricio Pochettino.
