The England international completed 98 passes against Liverpool as his return to the side coincided with City keeping their first clean sheet since the opening day of the season.

The Belgian won all six duels he was involved in as the Hornets kept their third successive Premier League clean sheet during their win over Southampton.


BEN DAVIES | TOTTENHAM

KEVIN DE BRUYNE | MANCHESTER CITY

Laid on two assists against Liverpool in a virtuoso performance — this was the seventh instance of him creating at least two goals in a match since his arrival in the Premier League.

As well as finding the net against his former side, Kante had more touches (81) and completed more interceptions (4) against Leicester than any other player.

The summer signing had a hand in each of the Seagulls' first three Premier League goals, scoring two and laying on the third for Tomer Hemed.

HARRY KANE | TOTTENHAM


Harry Kane Tottenham

With August now over, Kane's opening goal against Everton came from his 25th effort on goal of the season — his second longest such run in the Premier League.
