The Premier League returned from the first international break of 2025\/26 on September 13 with a condensed schedule to follow. FotMob\u2019s ratings for Gameweek 4 highlighted several standout displays across a busy weekend.<\/p>\n
FotMob placed Mart\u00edn Zubimendi and Antoine Semenyo joint-top with 8.9 ratings. Zubimendi opened Arsenal\u2019s win over Nottingham Forest with what the weekend described as the standout finish, a thumping volley from the edge of the area, and then completed the first brace of his senior career with a second-half header. Semenyo continued his strong start to the season against Brighton & Hove Albion, converting from the penalty spot and again showcasing the power that makes him a difficult opponent one-on-one.<\/p>\n
J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku produced a subtle but decisive performance in Manchester City\u2019s derby victory. Guardiola deployed him to drift infield and overload Manchester United\u2019s midfield pairing. Doku\u2019s assist for Phil Foden came from the right half-space and his second assist was a perfectly weighted pass in behind for Erling Haaland to latch onto and double City\u2019s lead. Gianluigi Donnarumma also produced an outstanding save at 2\u20130.<\/p>\n
Phil Foden returned to an influential display in the same fixture. The local player opened the scoring with a guided header and delivered the verve that had been less apparent over the past 12 months. “Ricky Hatton’s passing the morning of supplied Foden with extra spirit and motivation,” the draft noted, and Foden\u2019s performance suggested a marked return to form.<\/p>\n
Three players shared fifth spot on 8.4, including Tottenham Hotspur\u2019s Lucas Bergavll, who scored the first Premier League goal of his career in Spurs\u2019 3\u20130 win at West Ham United. Bergavll\u2019s looping header over Mads Hermansen was the highlight of a complete display.<\/p>\n
Defensively, Liverpool\u2019s Ibrahima Konat\u00e9 quietly anchored the Reds\u2019 1\u20130 win, finishing with the most duels won at 14 and eight defensive contributions to blunt Burnley\u2019s counter-attacking threat. At Sunderland, goalkeeper Robin Roefs has started well after his summer move, displacing Anthony Patterson and keeping two clean sheets in his first four Premier League outings. He faced an xG of 1.36 and made six saves against Crystal Palace, with notable stops to deny Daichi Kamada from distance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
