    Too Good: Daniel Amartey

    Leicester City’s battling 2-1 win at Brighton & Hove Albion was completed by Amartey’s 87th-minute header that completed the turnaround at the Amex.

    Aside from the Ghana international’s goal, the defender won all but one of his seven total duels, made a few tackles to break up play and cleared the ball from danger if need be.

    The Foxes remain third in the table after Saturday’s victory over the Seagulls.

    1. Too Bad: Nicolas Pepe

      Despite not starting for Arsenal at Turf Moor, the Ivory Coast winger missed some decent opportunities to win the Gunners the game at Burnley.

      Pepe failed to connect from a Kieran Tierney cross in the 82nd minute before having his right-footed effort two minutes later cleared off the line.

      The eventual 1-1 draw leaves Arsenal nine points behind fourth-placed Chelsea who play Everton on Monday evening.

    Too Good: Kalidou Koulibaly

    Despite Napoli’s concession of a goal in the 3-1 win over Bologna, Koulibaly was largely imperious, and was head and shoulders above his teammates at the back.

    K2 blocked no less than four shots, cleared the ball from harm’s way on eight occasions and read the game nicely to prevent attacks from the visitors.

    Gennaro Gattuso’s team remain sixth in the table after the latest round of games.

    Too Good: Mario Lemina

    The Gabon midfielder scored his first Premier League goal for Fulham in the potentially significant 1-0 win over Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.

    Lemina won possession from Salah and powered a low effort past Alisson Becker in the Reds goal just before half-time.

    It stood that way till full-time and Scott Parker’s Cottagers are now one point away from safety after Newcastle United could only draw away at West Bromwich Albion
