Beto (Everton 3-0 Chelsea)

Brian Brobbey (Newcastle 1-2 Sunderland)

The Dutch forward claimed a place in Tyne-Wear derby folklore by snatching Sunderland's dramatic 90th-minute winner at St James' Park.

After Newcastle goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale had denied his first attempt, Brobbey put away the rebound, sealing a home-and-away winning double for the Black Cats over their rivals in their first Premier League season since 2016/17.

Josh King (Fulham 3-1 Burnley)

The Fulham academy graduate powered the first team's response at Craven Cottage after they fell behind to their relegation-threatened visitors.

King punished a rare mistake by Burnley goalkeeper Martin Dubravka to equalise and then fed Harry Wilson to fire Marco Silva's side into the lead before they went on to eventually win 3-1.

Danny Welbeck (Brighton 2-1 Liverpool)

The former Arsenal and Manchester United striker was the scourge of Liverpool as Arne Slot's men made the long journey home empty-handed.

Welbeck beat Ibrahima Konate at the far post to head Brighton into a 14th-minute lead at Amex Stadium and decisively restored their advantage early in the second half with a low finish.

Neco Williams (Spurs 0-3 Nottingham Forest)

Williams was the leading light as Forest swept to victory in a crucial clash between two sides battling to stay in the Premier League.

The Wales international's corner kick was converted by Igor Jesus as the visitors took the lead against the run of play just before half-time. He later claimed a second assist by crossing for Taiwo Awoniyi to complete Forest's emphatic win.
