The first international break of the 2024/25 season is here, and it came at the right time for some Manchester United fans. The Red devils lost to Liverpool 3-0 at home thanks to goals from Luis Diaz, and Mohamed Salah.
Manchester City and Erling Haaland remained dominant with a 3-1 win away from home against West Ham. Chelsea and Arsenal dropped points to Crystal Palace and Brighton respectively, and Spurs lost once again at St James’ Park.
Let’s rate the top 5 players from 2024/25 Premier League Matchweek 3.
Bart Verbruggen
The Brighton goalkeeper was a major reason why Arsenal dropped points at the Emirates Stadium on Saturday. The 22-year-old was solid at the back for The Seagulls.
Although he was lobbed for Arsenal’s opener, he more than made up for it by making 6 saves on the day, including two game-defining ones.
Bryan Mbuemo
The Cameroonian has started this season in great form. He grabbed his second and third goal of the campaign against a sorry Southampton defense.
The 25-year-old also created the most chances in a fantastic performance by Brentford all round.
Luiz Diaz
Diaz was efficient in front of goal for Liverpool against Manchester United. Despite the recent arrival of Federico Chiesa, there is no pressure for Luiz Diaz!
He pressed well, and helped disorient Manchester United’s defense with his dynamic movement. The Colombian’s brace inspired Liverpool to a win at Old Trafford.
Erling Haaland
Another week, another Erling Haaland hat-trick. The Norwegian scored all 3 goals as Manchester City defeated Julen Lopetegui’s West Ham at the London Stadium on Saturday. Haaland started the scoring after 10 minutes. West Ham equalized through a Ruben Dias own goal.
Erling Haaland grabbed a majestic second goal to restore City’s lead before half time. With 7 minutes to go, The Norwegian completed his hat-trick to consolidate his position atop of the scoring chart.
Mohamed Salah
What more can be said about Mohamed Salah? One of the best forwards in the history of the Premier League.
The Liverpool attacker is not showing signs of ageing at all, as he continues to be effective in attack for The Reds. Salah created two goals and wrapped up the scoring at Old Trafford with a sumptuous finish – His 12th in the Premier League against Manchester United.
