The Form Of His Life Award

What are Liverpool feeding Mohamed Salah and can we have some?

Not content with his Goal of the Season contender against Manchester City before the international break, the Egyptian scored one that was arguably even better in Saturday’s rout at Watford.

People keep saying he’s the best player in the world “on current form” but if you ask us, there’s no need for that caveat. He’s just the best player in the world.


The Doing It Properly Award

Welcome to the Premier League 100 Club, Sadio Mané.

And as this stat shows, the Liverpool striker has racked up a century in impressive fashion.


The You’re At Your Most Vulnerable When You’ve Just Scored Award

It’s a massive clichĂ© but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.


The Youri Having A Laugh Award

What a goal it was from Youri Tielemans in Leicester’s win over Manchester United, as the below very scientific diagram brilliantly demonstrates.


The A Lot To Unpack Award

RĂșben Neves’s late winning goal to complete Wolves’ remarkable comeback at Villa Park sparked pandemonium in the away end on Saturday, and also produced this magnificent photo.


The Why Don’t You Just Marry The Post Award

Brentford have made a fabulous start to their maiden Premier League campaign but just imagine where they’d be if Bryan Mbeumo had hit the back of the net as often as he hits the post.


The You Make A Great Point Award

Chelsea’s Man of the Match at Brentford was their fantastic goalkeeper Edouard Mendy, who made a staggering 26 saves to preserve his clean sheet.

And if you ask Antonio RĂŒdiger, the Senegal shot-stopper deserves more credit.

We’re inclined to agree.


The So, So Happy Award

Find someone who looks at you like Pep Guardiola looks at Bernardo Silva.

The Lucky Tie Award

People ridiculed Ralph HasenhĂŒttl’s touchline attire as Southampton got their first win of the season on Saturday.

But we noticed that it was the exact same outfit the Austrian wore when Saints drew 0-0 at Manchester City a few weeks ago.

The same outfit for their two best performances of the season can’t be a coincidence. That must be his lucky tartan tie.


The How Do I Explain This To My Kids Award

If one team in the Premier League needs a stroke of luck at the moment, it’s Norwich City.

And that’s exactly what they got when Josh Sargent was presented with an open goal against Brighton on Saturday.

But somehow, he didn’t score from here.

Not cool, Josh.


The Old Stomping Ground Award

What with Manchester United’s struggles and West Ham’s win at Everton this weekend, we wouldn’t blame David Moyes if he was feeling rather smug right now.

He’s done a cracking job with the Hammers and they look like they could be challenging for European football again this season.

Maybe he deserves another crack in the Old Trafford hot-seat?


The Party Pooper Award

Putting in your best performance of the season so far to ruin Newcastle’s big day is such a Harry Kane thing to do.

The Tottenham striker netted his first Premier League goal of the season and assisted Heung-min Son in their win at St James’ Park.

Classic Kane.
