Another entertaining English Premier League matchweek ends with a thriller involving Chelsea. Arsenal, Liverpool won their games, Newcastle lost away at Bournemouth, Manchester United beat Luton, and Manchester City dropped points against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge as the league table is starting to take shape. Let’s rank the top 5 best players from the 2023/24 Premier League matchweek 12.
Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer looks like a stunning signing for Chelsea. The English forward was on hand to score a late penalty to grab a draw against his former club Manchester City. Palmer was full of running throughout the game for Chelsea, and almost scored a solo goal earlier in the second half. His efforts won him the Man of the match award.
James Ward Prowse
One of the signings of the season so far. The former Saints captain provided two assists to help West Ham get their first league victory since September. JWP created 5 chances, with 2 big chances, registering 2 assists. He was also clean with all his passes in midfield for West Ham. He made the most passes during the game with an impressive 95% accuracy.
Mohamed Salah
Salah is up to 10 Premier League goals this season after his double against Brentford on Sunday. The Egyptian scored twice before Diogo Jota added a third to help the Reds go second on the log, just one point behind Manchester City.
Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland was efficient against Chelsea. The Norwegian scored the opening goal in both halves, and also assisted Rodri’s goal. He had limited touches, but he made them count as usual.
Dominik Solanke
Dom Solanke inspired Bournemouth to victory over Newcastle on Saturday. The former Liverpool attacker scored twice to help his side out of the relegation zone. Solanke outperformed his xg on the night, and he was a menace to a typically sturdy Newcastle backline. Dominik Solanke is the best player in matchweek 12 of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
