Gameweek 11 left a distinct set of individual performances that shaped results across the top flight. Manchester City seized the initiative in the weekend\u2019s standout fixture, while Liverpool\u2019s title defence looked vulnerable.<\/p>\n
In goal, Jordan Pickford kept a clean sheet at the Hill Dickinson Stadium, recording four saves and preventing 0.91 of expected goals en route to an 8.3 rating. That score was matched by Idrissa Gueye, who opened the scoring for Everton late in the first half. Bukayo Saka drew Arsenal level at the Stadium of Light with an excellent weak-footed finish to beat Robin Roefs at his near post; the strike was his first from open play in a Premier League away game since April.<\/p>\n
Amadou Onana doubled Aston Villa\u2019s lead from distance in a dominant display at Villa Park, adding nine defensive contributions in a combative midfield showing. Emiliano Mart\u00ednez produced a vintage performance for Villa, coming up clutch to deny Antoine Semenyo from 12 yards and tipping a deflected Alex Scott effort over the bar, making key saves at important moments.<\/p>\n
Manchester City\u2019s midfield depth showed as Nico Gonz\u00e1lez impressed at the base of midfield against Liverpool, his efficient control highlighted by a deflected strike from distance. Right back Matheus Nunes earned an 8.4 rating, his delivery creating the opening goal and underlining his comfort in the role after a conversion from central midfield.<\/p>\n
Chelsea had notable contributors as Emiliano Buend\u00eda opened the scoring with a wonderful free-kick against Bournemouth and Pedro Neto finished from close range in a 3\u20130 win over his former club. Alejandro Garnacho kept his place and produced his best performance since signing for Chelsea in the summer, finishing the victory with a pair of assists and electric one-on-one work down the left.<\/p>\n
Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was central to Everton\u2019s success against Fulham. “He played for them, did he?” you\u2019ll answer in a few years\u2019 time when someone brings up Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall\u2019s single season with Chelsea. The midfielder had a goal ruled out, recorded an assist, led the game with 14 defensive contributions and posted ten successful duels, the most of any Everton player.<\/p>\n
J\u00e9r\u00e9my Doku delivered one of the weekend\u2019s most electric displays for Man City, completing seven of eight attempted dribbles, creating a joint-high three chances and capping the display with a long-range finish after the hour mark.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
