Our Premier League Awards honor the best – and worst – action of the weekend, with Manchester City’s statement at Anfield and Dango Ouattara.
Moment of the week

Liverpool against Manchester City usually always provides entertainment, but this weekend’s clash threatened to take a nap before bursting into life after the break. The first 45 minutes had been boring, but the second half was unforgettable.

Manchester City’s title dream appeared to be in jeopardy after Dominik Szoboszlai’s stunner for the Reds, but a brave comeback from the visitors saw City turn the game around.

Bernardo Silva’s equalizer set up a grandstand finish and City found the winner in stoppage time as Erling Haaland converted from the spot after Alisson’s foul on Matheus Nunes.

It was a big, big moment in City’s season and perhaps in the title race too. Arsenal’s lead has been cut to six and City’s first victory at Anfield in front of a crowd in almost 23 years has made a statement.

Player of the week

Some sneered when Brentford paid a £42.5 million fee for it Dango Ouattara in the summer, but the winger has been an excellent signing for the Bees.

Ouattara was the best player on the pitch as Keith Andrews’ side won at Newcastle this weekend to continue their challenge for European football. A stunning cross set up Vitaly Janelt for Brentford’s equalizer, before Ouattara pulled clear to score the winner – his fifth of the campaign so far.

At just 23 years old, Ouatarra has the raw attributes to take it to the next level. He appears to have a similar profile to the talents Brentford have developed and sold on for huge sums in recent times.

Goal of the week

It is actually a shame that this goal will be relegated to an afterthought in the history books. Despite everything, Manchester City’s first league double against Liverpool since 1937 makes the headlines Dominik Szoboszlai best efforts.

The Hungarian’s howitzer was not the first he scored this season.

Rescue of the week

Forget the (often unfair) question marks about its distribution, this is what Gianluigi Donnarumma is all about.

In the final seconds of a must-win match at Anfield, the Italian’s big save from Alexis Mac Allister ensured Manchester City left with the points. This is pretty much a goal.

Statistic of the week

Can away teams do it on a cold, windy evening? Leeds? Apparently not.

Quote of the week

This is almost comical. Thomas Frank It was difficult to see the data on Cristian Romero’s red card history.

A week to forget…

There was truly atrocious defending in the Premier League this weekend. Wolves gifted Chelsea the points with two penalties in Molineux, each of which was scored unnecessarily.

However, Lucas Digne might be responsible for the worst individual moment of the week. The left back’s lethargy that allowed Rayan to waltz past him in Bournemouth ultimately cost his team three points.
