Moreno celebrated the birth of his son by whipping in a game-high four crosses from open play and contributing to the clean sheet in a 3-0 Liverpool win over Southampton.

Doucoure registered a game-high 13 ball recoveries and was the most accurate passer of any starting player from either side (94% accuracy) in the match between Watford and West Ham.


KEVIN DE BRUYNE | MANCHESTER CITY


Kevin De Bruyne Manchester City

De Bruyne, who added another goal this weekend, has had a hand in 50 PL goals (16 goals, 34 assists). He has done this in 76 PL apps, the quickest by any out-and-out midfielder in the history of the competition.

With his brace against Southampton, Salah has netted nine goals in the Premier League this term; the most by any Liverpool player in their first 12 appearances in the competition.

Hazard has scored in 16 Premier League matches under Antonio Conte and won every match. This weekend was no different as Hazard picked up a brace in a 4-0 win over West Brom.

Many would have expected Harry Kane to be the first Englishman to score a hat-trick in the Premier League this season, but instead it was Wilson with his three goals against Huddersfield Town.
