Grealish, Rodriguez and Kane among top 10 performers in the Premier League

 

Another Premier League gameweek and another boat load of goals. Just the 41 notched over 10 matches this weekend. Chelsea kicked it all off with a 4-0 home win over Crystal Palace before Tottenham won 6-1 away to Manchester United on Sunday and Aston Villa closed the show with a remarkable 7-2 victory at home to Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.

 

With so many excellent invididual displays, it makes for a hugely competitive top-10 performers list from gameweek 4. Starting in reverse order, it's time to countdown to our Premier League player of the week.

 

10) Trezeguet (Aston Villa) vs Liverpool - 8.71 rating / £0.43 Footstock price

 

After mauling defending champions Liverpool 7-2, Aston Villa are unsurprisingly well-represented in the top-10 with Trezeguet kicking things off. The 26-year-old set up Ollie Watkins for his hat-trick goal, one of three key passes on the night. Moreover, Trezeguet forced Adrian into a save with his only shot, won three aerial duels and as many tackles.

 

9) Aaron Cresswell (West Ham) vs Leicester - 8.79 rating / £0.66 Footstock price

 

Aaron Cresswell turned in a thoroughly assured display in West Ham's 3-0 win away to Leicester on Sunday despite playing out of position at centre-back in a back three. Not only was Cresswell effective at the back, with two interceptions and six clearances, but the 30-year-old set up two of West Ham's goals to take home the WhoScored Man of the Match award.

 

8) Serge Aurier (Tottenham) vs Man Utd - 8.92 rating / £1.06 Footstock price

 

Serge Aurier was a surprise starter for Tottenham on Sunday but made his presence felt in their 6-1 mauling away to Manchester United with a goal and an assist at Old Trafford. The Tottenham right-back set up Son Heung-Min for his second just before half-time before burying Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg's perfect through ball after the break. Not only that, but Aurier made six tackles and interceptions combined and three clearances.

 

7) Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) vs Crystal Palace - 9.16 rating / £6.95 Footstock price

 

Ben Chilwell had a Premier League debut to remember for Chelsea after playing a key role in their 4-0 victory over Crystal Palace on Saturday. Chilwell opened the scoring for Chelsea after long periods of frustration against the Eagles before setting up Kurt Zouma for their second of the afternoon. The 23-year-old had two shots in total and provided three key passes on a solid first outing for the England international.

 

6) John McGinn (Aston Villa) vs Liverpool - 9.37 rating / £2.22 Footstock price

 

John McGinn has hit the ground running for Aston Villa this season, as he did in the last campaign, and was again key for Dean Smith's side in their shock win over Liverpool this weekend. The Villa midfielder scored and assisted in the 7-2 victory, while also completing four dribbles in a dominant midfield performance from the 25-year-old.

5) Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) vs Man Utd - 9.42 rating / £22.79 Footstock price

 

Initially ruled out until after the international break, Son Heung-Min was a shock name in Tottenham's starting XI at Old Trafford on Sunday and he certainly caught Manchester United by surprise. Son scored twice and registered one assist in the mauling of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side. Moreover, Son created five goalscoring opportunities in total, as Tottenham tore United to pieces.

 

4) Harry Kane (Tottenham) vs Man Utd - 9.44 rating / £39.98 Footstock price

 

Harry Kane narrowly beat Son to the WhoScored Man of the Match award against United. Like Son, Kane also scored twice and provided one assist. Kane had seven shots in total, hitting the target three times, while registering three key passes. Kane has registered six assists in the Premier League this season and four have been for Son.

 

3) James Rodriguez (Everton) vs Brighton - 9.66 rating / £82.95 Footstock price

 

Everton made it four wins from four in the Premier League with a 4-2 win over Brighton on Saturday. Summer signing James Rodriguez played a direct hand in three of Everton's goals, providing Colombian team-mate Yerry Mina with a simple header before scoring twice himself. Rodriguez had four attempts against Brighton in total, while also completing 93.9% of his attempted passes. Moreover, Rodriguez was fouled five times as Brighton simply couldn't get to grips with him.

 

2) Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) vs Liverpool - 10.0 rating / £8.28 Footstock price

 

There were two perfect WhoScored 10-rated performances at the weekend and they unsurprisingly both came from Aston Villa after their incredible win over Liverpool. Grealish registered a hat-trick of assists and added two goals himself, becoming the first player in Premier League history to play a direct hand in five goals against Liverpool in a single game. Grealish was unplayable, scoring from both attempts on target and creating five key passes in total.

 

1) Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) vs Liverpool - 10.0 rating / £14.37 Footstock price

 

Ollie Watkins picked the ideal game to open his Premier League account, netting a devastating hat-trick against Liverpool. Watkins remarkably had his hat-trick, a perfect one at that, inside 40 minutes and was denied a fourth in the second half by Adrian's crossbar. Previously, no one had scored a Premier League hat-trick against Liverpool since Dimitar Berbatov did for Manchester United back in 2010. Watkins turned provider for Jack Grealish after the hour mark and was denied another goal himself by a fine Adrian save.
