🏆 PL Awards: Great puns, own goals, foul language and Phil Foden | OneFootball

It was another very eventful weekend in what is proving to be a hugely interesting Premier League season.

It’s time to hand out our weekly awards …

The Waste of Space Award

Arsenal’s signing of Willian felt like a shrewd bit of business in the summer, even if they were paying an outrageous salary to a player the wrong side of 30.

But to say the Brazilian’s Gunners career has been underwhelming would be an understatement, and he was disappointing again in Saturday’s defeat at Aston Villa.

Make that 17 Premier League appearances for the club, and 0 goals. Stealing a living.

The Sideshow Bob Award

Remember that bit in The Simpsons when Sideshow Bob kept stepping on all the rakes?

We couldn’t help bit think of it when we saw Jan Bednarek’s week go from bad to worse at St James’ Park on Saturday.

The Lookey-Likey of the Weekend Award

Sean Dyche will have loved this …

The Mike Dean Award

This one goes to *drum roll* Mike Dean!

Say what you like about Deano, but Fulham vs West Ham was a dull, forgettable affair until he injected some much needed life into proceedings with that ridiculous red card in the dying minutes.

Never a dull moment.

The Do You Kiss Your Mother With That Mouth Award

We’re sure Everton enjoyed their injury time equaliser at Old Trafford very much, but this was a bit rude …

Funny though.

The That’s A Bit Rich Award

This one goes to the club that popularised the phrase ‘Fergie Time’ …

Gone off dramatic late goals now have you Ole?

The Fan of the Weekend Award

Find someone who appreciates you like Pierre-Emile Højbjerg appreciated Erik Lamela’s performance in Tottenham’s win over West Brom on Sunday.

Højbjerg is not only a top midfielder but the leader of the Spurs ultras too. Great to see.

The Monument to Hubris Award

Sam Allardyce has never been relegated from the Premier League as a manager. He could have just stayed at home and kept that record intact forever.

Instead, he decided to take the West Brom job, and it looks like he’s bitten off more than he can chew.

If you’re going to go down, you might as well make some history along the way eh?

Pun of the Weekend Award

We at OneFootball love few things better than a good pun.

But we can’t compete with his top tier punning Sky Sports viewers were treated to after Manchester City’s win at Anfield on Sunday.

It’s time to pack up and go home. We’ll never beat that.

Trolling of the Weekend Award

Speaking of City, they waited 18 years to win a football match at Anfield, so the least they deserve is a chance to crow.

And this was excellent work from the official club account …

A tweet worthy of the team’s performance.

The Jamie Pollock Award

Younger readers might not know who Jamie Pollock is. Type his name into YouTube along with the phrase “own goal” and give yourself a nice treat today.

We can only assume Antonio Rüdiger did just that before Chelsea took on Sheffield United on Sunday night, because his OG would have made Pollock beam with pride.

The German defender owes Jorginho a drink for sparing his blushes from the penalty spot.
