Goalkeeper

Martin Dubravka (Burnley) - 7.8

Martin Dubravka was made to be tested between the posts in Burnley's 1-1 draw at home to Nottingham Forest.

He made seven saves to help his side earn a well-fought point at Turf Moor, with his best coming in the second half against Igor Jesus.

Defenders

Neco Williams (Nottingham Forest) - 8.1

Dubravka was unable to keep out Neco Williams' early strike, though, as he netted the Premier League's fastest goal of the season so far. 

The Welshman scored the opener in the second minute and was solid defensively, winning seven duels and making three clearances.

Chris Richards (Crystal Palace) - 8.0

The steady Chris Richards stood out defensively as Crystal Palace maintained their unbeaten start with a 2-1 win at West Ham.

Richards made a game-high 12 clearances, made four tackles and lost just one of the eight duels he attempted.

Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) - 7.8

Tyrone Mings put together a solid performance at the back as Aston Villa were eventually held to a 1-1 draw by 10-man Sunderland.

The 32-year-old made 13 clearances and won seven of eight aerial duels, but it wasn't enough as the spoils were shared at the Stadium of Light.

Midfielders

Harry Wilson (Fulham) - 7.8

Wales' Harry Wilson looked threatening for Fulham as he contributed to their comeback to beat Brentford 3-1 at Craven Cottage.

As well as creating three chances, Wilson netted Fulham's second with a beautiful first-time effort which curled into the bottom corner.

Anton Stach (Leeds) - 8.2

Anton Stach put in an all-action midfield performance on the way to helping Leeds beat winless and pointless Wolves 3-1

Stach whipped a brilliant free-kick into the corner to put Leeds ahead and played the pass through for Noah Okafor to extend their lead.

The contributions capped a composed display from the German, who also won five duels and made three tackles.

Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool) - 8.4

Ryan Gravenberch continued his hot start to the campaign with a confident display in the derby.

Gravenberch gave the Reds the lead with a clever first-time finish, then played the splitting pass for Hugo Ekitike's strike later in the first half.

The Dutchman barely put a foot wrong as Liverpool made it a perfect five wins from five games.

Alex Iwobi (Fulham) - 8.4

Another player to have a goal and an assist over the weekend was Alex Iwobi, who inspired Fulham's recovery against Brentford.

He dragged Fulham level with an instinctive finish, then played the perfect pass for Harry Wilson to put them ahead moments later.

Forwards

Jaidon Anthony (Burnley) - 7.8

Burnley's Jaidon Anthony continued his fine start to the season by netting his third goal of the campaign in their draw against Nottingham Forest.

The 25-year-old stabbed the ball towards goal and the defending Oleksandr Zinchenko was unable to stop it crossing the line, drawing Burnley back level in the game.

Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool) - 8.2

Liverpool's new cult hero Hugo Ekitike keeps making his case to be their starting centre forward after netting what turned out to be the winner against Everton. 

The Frenchman took his goal at Anfield clinically, taking one touch out of his feet and slotting the ball low into the corner.

Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal) - 7.7

Impact off the bench was what Mikel Arteta was desperate for against a stubborn Manchester City and that was what he got from Gabriel Martinelli.

Brought on in the 80th minute, Martinelli netted a dramatic equaliser in second-half stoppage time after racing onto a long ball and lifting it over the towering Gianluigi Donnarumma.
