The ‘Exclusive Club’ Award

Mohamed Salah has just joined a very exclusive club of Liverpool players.

Following his goal against Brentford on Saturday, the Egyptian has now scored 100 Premier League goals for the Reds – with only Robbie Fowler, Steven Gerrard and Michael Owen achieving this previously.


The ‘Starboy’ Award

Arsenal have endured a miserable recent past, but there are some shining lights in their future.

Bukayo Saka became the youngest Arsenal player to score and assist in a North London Derby (20 y, 21d) in Sunday’s win.


The ‘Smooth Mover’ Award

Remember when Emi Martínez went viral for his penalty shenanigans during Argentina’s Copa America win this summer?

Well, he’s done it again and showed off some of his dance moves on Sunday after Bruno Fernandes blazed over in injury time.


The ‘Change In Fortunes’ Award

This stat tells you everything you need to know.

Tottenham are only the second team in Premier League history to win their first three games of a season and then lose the next three.


The ‘Revenge Is Sweet’ Award

It’s fair to say that Thomas Tuchel has bested his Spanish counterpart of late.

But Pep earned some revenge at Stamford Bridge – after becoming the first team to prevent Tuchel’s side registering a single shot on target since he took charge.


The ‘Nightmare Start’ Award

Dread it. Run from it. Second Season Syndrome arrives all the same.

After their defeat against West Ham, Leeds have failed to win any of their opening six games to start the season for the first time in Premier League history.


The ‘About Time’ Award

All good things come to those who wait, right? Well Villa fans have waited long enough.

Saturday’s victory at Old Trafford meant that Aston Villa have finally beaten Manchester United in any competition for the first time since December 2009.


The ‘Form Of His Life’ Award

The West Ham train keeps steaming ahead – and so does Michail Antonio.

He has been directly involved in more Premier League goals (5 goals, 3 assists) than any other player so far this season.


The ‘336 Days Later’ Award

What a moment this was for Wolves and Raul JimĂŠnez.

10 months (336 days) after his horror skull fracture against Arsenal, the striker was back amongst the goals and winning games for his side.
