They made their own luck. These are the players that were instrumental in their team’s performance over the past weekend.
As it is with every other week, picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding. There were many bright spots over the weekend, but these are the men that were able to make our list.
The final shortlist for #SOTW included…
Serge Gnabry (Hoffenheim vs FC Koln) – German Bundesliga
Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich vs Borussia Dortmund) – German Bundesliga
Lionel Messi (Sevilla vs Barcelona) – Spanish La Liga
Mohamed Salah (Crystal Palace vs Liverpool) – English Premier League
Marko Arnautovic (West Ham United vs Southampton) – English Premier League
David Silva (Everton vs Manchester City) – English Premier League
Ciro Immobile (Lazio vs Benevento) – Italian Serie A
Alassane Plea (Troyes vs Nice) – French Ligue 1
Mauro Icardi (Inter Milan vs Hellas Verona) – Italian Serie A
Memphis Depay (Lyon vs Toulouse) – French Ligue 1
But the SOTW will have to go to
Dele Alli
(Chelsea vs Tottenham Hotspur) – English Premier League
Giving Tottenham Hotspur the winning goals to get a league victory against Chelsea at the Stamford Bridge. Something Tottenham haven’t done for 28 years.
