As the 2025\/26 Premier League season reached gameweek 30, the table tension showed elsewhere: Tottenham Hotspur finally displayed signs of life in a relegation battle likely to go to the wire, West Ham United continued a resurgent escape attempt, and Nottingham Forest awaited the season\u2019s end. FotMob\u2019s match ratings identify a group of players who made the difference in this round.<\/p>\n
Alex Scott (Bournemouth) was one of the highest-rated players in a 0\u20130 draw at Burnley. Scott completed 18 defensive contributions, including 12 ground duels won and eight recoveries, leading the game in those categories and frustrating Burnley\u2019s attempts to get round him.<\/p>\n
Yankuba Minteh (Brighton & Hove Albion) earned an 8.3 rating for his role in Brighton\u2019s 1\u20130 win over Sunderland that moved his side above the Black Cats. The winger worked hard defensively and scored with a sliced cross that inexplicably found the net.<\/p>\n
William Saliba (Arsenal) produced a commanding display in a 2\u20130 win over Everton. Saliba finished with 127 touches, at least 34 more than any other player, created two chances, and played 13 passes into the final third, one of which was a long ball, underpinning a performance that combined defensive dominance with purposeful distribution.<\/p>\n
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United) provided a simple but decisive contribution in a 1\u20130 win over Chelsea. A single pass released him into space in front of Robert S\u00e1nchez and he held his composure to slot home what proved to be the winning goal.<\/p>\n
Konstantinos Mavropanos (West Ham United) produced late heroics against Manchester City, scoring in the 91st minute to earn a point. The centre back also attracted a viral image after taking an Erling Haaland shot to the face and received a standing ovation from a Hammers fanbase rediscovering its affection for the team.<\/p>\n
Dango Ouattara (Brentford) rated 8.3 after an excellent creative showing against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Ouattara controlled Caoimh\u00edn Kelleher\u2019s long ball and set up Igor Thiago, a move that briefly looked like it would secure a big victory before Wolves mounted a comeback to draw 2\u20132.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
