Declan Rice (Arsenal): People gave him stick for celebrating his equaliser against Manchester United. When he doesn’t score people say he doesn’t score enough – but when he does he gets stick for celebrating! He is growing into a really talented ‘number eight’. Especially as Arsenal don’t have a number nine, he runs into great pockets and got beyond the attackers for his goal.
Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle): Scored the only goal against West Ham in a must-win match for his team in the Champions League race. It can be hard for players with a massive game like the Carabao Cup final coming up on Sunday – no player wants to get injured before that. But he was one of the few that didn’t shirk a tackle, and still played this game at full intensity.
Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd): I have been critical of Fernandes over the years. He is the type of person that got away with it when the team were poor under Erik ten Hag. Since the new manager has come in, he has shown a completely new level of character. If Manchester United want to get to where they aspire to be, then they need this guy. They cannot get rid of him. It was also unbelievable technique for the free-kick.
