Top Performers

Omar Marmoush (Man City) – 9.5/10

He scored a hat-trick in just 14 minutes, had four shots with three on target, and completed 87% of his passes. Pep Guardiola praised his hunger and technical quality, calling this performance just the beginning.

Ethan Nwanieri (Arsenal) – 9/10

The 16-year-old became the youngest-ever Premier League starter. He completed two successful dribbles, made three key passes, and drew four fouls, proving to be a constant threat. Jamie Carragher compared his confidence to a young Messi.

Liam Delap (Ipswich) – 8.5/10

Delap opened the scoring against Aston Villa, had an 88% passing accuracy, and won four aerial duels. At just 21, he’s being tipped as a future England star by Gareth Southgate.

📉 Disappointing Performances

James Maddison (Tottenham) – 5/10

He failed to make an impact, with zero key passes, two shots off target, and nine lost possessions before being subbed off in the 65th minute. Spurs fans are questioning his performances in big games.

Sandro Tonali (Newcastle) – 4.5/10

Newcastle struggled in midfield, and Tonali was one of the biggest problems. He had a poor 67% pass accuracy, zero successful tackles, and was completely dominated by Rodri. Alan Shearer criticized the team for being outplayed and needing a strong reaction in the next game.

🔮 Current Premier League Standings (Top Teams & Relegation Battle)

Man City sit in third with 51 points, looking dangerous after Marmoush’s heroics.

Tottenham are in fourth with 48 points, still inconsistent.
