The Polish shot-stopper saved an injury-time penalty against bottom club Clermont to earn his side a hard-fought 0-0 draw.
Barcelona were at their brilliant best this weekend as the Blaugrana turned the screw against Getafe and beat the capital club 4-0.
One man who really impressed was right-back Koundรฉ with the France international providing a perfectly weighted pass for Raphina to open the scoring in the first half.
Van Dijk has enjoyed a stunning six years at Liverpool so far but this past weekend may well be his crowning glory.
The Netherlands international was a colossus at the back against wave after wave of Chelsea attacks in the EFL Cup final.ย And then when his side needed a goal most, Van Dijk headed in to send the red half of Merseyside into raptures.
A virtual ever-present in the Augsburg backline this season, Uduokhai's reputation has gone stratospheric with a series of cool and commanding performances at centre-back.
The 26-year-old added goalscoring to his repertoire this weekend however as scored the equaliser in his side's 2-1 win over Freiburg.
Sabaly put in arguably his best performance of the season so far as Real Betis beat Athletic Club 3-1.
Switching from right to left-back, the 30-year-old was defensively solid and a constant attacking threat as the Basques were beaten on the Andalusian coast.
Bayer Leverkusen kept up their habit of scoring late winners this weekend as Andrich's second half strike saw the league leaders beat Mainz 2-1.
It wasn't just the goal that impressed from Andrich though, with the 29-year-old covering every blade of grass and working in perfect tandem with Granit Xhaka.
There wasn't a better performance from anyone anywhere this gameweek than that of Camara.
The 25-year-old midfielder was utterly sensational and bagged his first senior hat-trick in Brest's 3-0 win over Strasbourg.
One of the biggest surprises this weekend came at Real Sociedad as the Basque outfit lost at home to mid-table strugglers Villarreal.
Despite enjoying just 29% of the possession and having only four shots on goal, the Yellow Submarine came away with a 3-1 win in large part thanks to two brilliant goals from Comesaรฑa.
After a nightmare week, who other than Kane to get Bayern Munich back to winning ways?
The England international's second half double helped the Bavarian side secure a much-needed 2-1 win over RB Leipzig on Saturday.
There might not be a better player in Europe right now than Martรญnez.
