The Premier League was back at it again with another feast of football this weekend.

It’s time to dish out some awards

The Firing Blanks Award

It’s fair to say that JĂŒrgen Klopp won’t be happy with this stat.

Since beating Crystal Palace 7-0 back in December, they have failed to score in three straight Premier League games for the first time since 2005.


The Barn Door Award

Well this hasn’t worked out. Timo Werner has now failed to score in his last 10 league games for Chelsea.

And after his shocking miss against Fulham, The German has failed to convert any of his last seven big chances.


The Flat Track Bully Award

Manchester United have just three points from a possible 15 against the traditional top six this season.

But when you can beat everybody else and sit top of the league – that clearly doesn’t matter for now.


The Houdini Award

JosĂ© Mourinho and Tanguy NdombĂ©lĂ© haven’t always seen eye-to-eye, but the Frenchman is thriving this season.

His brilliantly improvised finish against Sheffield United was pure magic and a testament to his natural talent.


The London Bus Award

As the saying goes, you wait ages for a London bus and then two come along at once.

John Stones hadn’t scored for Manchester City in the league before facing Crystal Palace. Now he’s scored twice.


The Planning Ahead Award

With Brexit-enforced regulations affecting Premier League clubs in the transfer market, Leicester share no such worries.

The Foxes have scored 22 goals from English players in the top flight this season – four more than any other side.


The PHWOAARR Award

There are full blooded tackles and then there’s what Antonee Robinson did to CĂ©sar Azpilicueta on Saturday.

The USMNT defender stormed into this challenge with incredible force and was lucky to not cause further damage.


The Bielsa-Ball Award

Leeds are brilliant to watch in full flow but under Marcelo Bielsa, his sides are prone to mid-season dips.

They have now three consecutive games (in all competitions) for the first time since their Premier League promotion.


The Busy Boly Award

In the space of just 36 first half minutes, Willy Boly managed to give away a penalty, assist a goal and then score one!


The Celebrating In Style Award

Not only did Antonio mark the 400th appearance of his career with a goal, it was also a big one in Hammers history too.

It took him to 40 in the league for West Ham, only the fourth man to do so after Paolo Di Canio, Mark Noble and Carlton Cole.


The Please Stop Scoring Award

The sample size is very small but even still, Wolves may start to worry when FĂĄbio Silva finds the net in future.
