🏆 PL Awards: Incredible offsides, comical errors and header history made | OneFootball

Tottenham and Manchester United lost ground in the top four race, Frank Lampard got his first league win and Newcastle are showing major signs of life.

It’s time to hand out our Premier League weekend awards.

The Unlucky For Some Award

Is it possible that even Antonio Conte has found a job that’s too much for him?

The No VAR Required Award

There was no need for video intervention or armpit-drawn lines here. Although Cristiano Ronaldo still the temerity to complain about the flag being raised!

The VAR Can’t Always Help Award

And then there was this one a day later which saw Ollie Watkins denied an equaliser at St James’ Park. Ouch …

The Heads Up Award

And we bet Duncan Ferguson was responsible for about half of these.

The New Year, New Me Award

We can only assume that ‘score more goals’ was top of Fabinho’s resolutions list for 2022.

The Worst Clearance Award

It can only go to Aaron Cresswell and his incredible attempt to head the ball clear – only to give away a penalty for handball. Disastrous.

The Free-Kick Kings Award

Thanks to Kieran Trippier’s curler against Aston Villa, Newcastle managed something that hasn’t been achieved since their manager was in his playing days.

The Heartwarming Moment of the Weekend Award

Seeing Christian Eriksen welcomed back to the Premier League after those scary scenes of last summer was a marvellous moment as he took to the field at half-time in Brentford’s draw with Crystal Palace to be unveiled.

The Double Digit Consistency Award

And neither of them are your typical strikers.

The At Least You Tried Award

Hmmm. We’re not sure the Gallagher brothers will be too worried about this one.

The Great Scot Award

Adams is finally finding his feet, scoring in successive games for the first time this season.

The Brotherly Love Award

A proud day for the Keane family.

The Soaring Seagull Award

No player has scored more Premier League goals for Brighton than Neal Maupay. He needs one more to stand alone atop the mountain.
