Let rank the top 5 best players for Premier League Matchweek 26
Aaron Wan-Bissaka
His performance against Arsenal on Saturday had Manchester United fans wondering why the club sold him – That was how good he was on the day. The former Palace defender tormented Arsenal, especially on the break. Wan Bissaka was solid defensively, much like the rest of the West Ham team, but he also created two chances and one led to West Ham’s winner at the Emirates.
Mikel Damsgaard
Damsgaad has also quietly been having a spectacular season at Brentford. Two assists against Leicester means he is now in double figures for assists in the Premier League this season, only Mohamed Salah has more.
Brennan Johnson
Two wins on the spin for Tottenham Hotspur, and Brennan Johnson also scored twice to help Spurs ensure the latest one. The English winger scored the first two goals of the game to take the game away from Kieran McKenna‘s men.
Alexander Isak
With two goals against Nottingham Forest, Alexander Isak has reached 50 Premier League goals in just over 70 matches played for Newcastle. The Swede helped The Magpies leap back into the top 5 with two goals and a man of the match performance.
Mohamed Salah
Speaking of Man of the Match, Mohamed Salah was once again the difference for Liverpool as they defeated Manchester City at the Etihad Stadium. The Egyptian scored the opener before setting up Dominik Szoboszlai to wrap up the points for Arne Slot’s side.
