🏆 PL Awards: Completed it, flirting with disaster, backfiring fireworks | OneFootball

We are one step closer to the end of the 2021/22 Premier League season, and we also have a new FA Cup holder.

Here are our weekend awards.

The No More World’s Left To Conquer Award

Congratulations to Liverpool boss Jürgen Klopp on completing English football this weekend.

And the bad news for everyone else is that he looks ready to restart the game and win it all again.

The Jonah Byrde Award

Liverpool’s unexpected hero of the final was their “Greek Scouser” Kostas Tsimikas, who had nerves of steel to step up and convert the winning penalty.

The Nothing But Net Award

Whether Tottenham should have had a penalty against Burnley on Sunday is up for debate, but there’s no arguing with Harry Kane’s prowess from 12-yards.

Maybe Manchester City should have signed him instead of Erling Haaland after all.

The Ideal Timing Award

Things were looking bleak for Manchester City as they trailed 2-0 to West Ham at half-time on Sunday, especially when you consider this stat.

But the league leaders turned it around in the second half and earned a point which could prove crucial in their bid to retain the title.

The Noble By Name, Noble By Nature Award

West Ham said farewell to their captain on Sunday, with Mark Noble hanging up his boots at the end of the season.

And after 17 years and 413 appearances, the veteran midfielder is still a humble East London boy at heart.

The Don’t Stop Believin’ Award

As we approach the end of the season, three clubs at the bottom seem to have been taking it in turns to dabble most seriously with relegation.

Heading into this weekend it was Leeds who looked like condemned men, but an injury time equaliser from Pascal Struijk against Brighton has given them a glimmer of hope.

And now it’s Burnley who should perhaps be most concerned, although that could all change in midweek.

The Flirting With Disaster Award

That said, Everton are making life very difficult for themselves in their quest to avoid the drop.

This moment in Sunday’s home defeat to Brentford pretty much summed their current predicament up.

The No Sleep ‘Til Brentford Award

The Toffees need all the help they can get and they tried to repeat the trick which worked so well before a recent victory over Chelsea by setting off fireworks outside the Brentford team hotel.

But it will take more than a little sleep deprivation to put the Bees off their game.

What a super season it has been for Thomas Frank’s men.

The Life In The Old Dog Award

Perhaps he’s been energised by the week’s events at the High Court, but Jamie Vardy played like a man with a new lease of life in Leicester’s 5-1 thrashing of Watford on Sunday.

If he hadn’t retired from international football he’d still have an outside chance of being on England’s plane to Qatar at the end of the year.
