Alexander Isak
Isak was efficient against a stubborn West Ham defence. His awareness and calmness in front of goal and around the box helped him get two tidy finishes against the Hammers.
Although his goals were not enough to ensure a win, he was arguably Newcastle’s best player on the pitch.
Mohamed Salah
Salah’s class is evident every week even when he doesn’t score. However, he was on target twice against Brighton on Saturday, and was impressive, especially in the first half.
Liverpool were not at their best, and they dropped points, but Mohamed Salah continues to show the reason why the Reds rejected a €100m bid for him last summer.
Scott McTominay
Super Sub! The Scottish midfielder is the best player this week because his goals completely changed the mood of what was going to be an incredibly frustrating international break if Manchester United had lost against Brentford.
He came on late and immediately looked dangerous inside the box. He showed United what he is now known for in the Scottish national team.
McTominay is responsible for the little peace that Erik ten Hag and a some Manchester United fans will enjoy during this international break.
His goals could give a new life to Manchester United’s season, but that depends on how they kick-on after the break. Scott McTominay is the best Premier League player in matchweek 8 of the 2023/24 season.
