Our Premier League Awards highlight the best and worst moments from recent matches, featuring players like William Osula, Joao Pedro, and Morgan Gibbs-White.

Moment of the Week

William Osula has had a tough time at Newcastle, starting only twice in the Premier League since joining in 2024. However, he made an impact this week by scoring the winning goal against Manchester United, ending their unbeaten streak at St James’ Park.

He entered the match with Newcastle down to ten men and took advantage of his speed, reaching a top speed of 36.3 km/h. Osula scored with a well-placed shot into the far corner.

This goal marked a significant moment for Newcastle, especially after feeling upset about Jacob Ramsey’s first-half red card. Osula’s goal is notable as it’s the first time a substitute has scored a last-minute winner against Manchester United in Premier League history.

Player of the Week

Joao Pedro is in excellent form, scoring eight goals in eight league appearances. He secured a hat-trick against Aston Villa to lead Chelsea to victory.

The match started poorly for Chelsea as they fell behind early, but Pedro’s performance turned things around.

His second goal showcased his skill with a well-timed lifted finish, earning praise from Liam Rosenior.

Goal of the Week

A remarkable backheel equaliser earns this week’s goal award, crucial for Nottingham Forest in their battle to avoid relegation.

Save of the Week

Not every outstanding save comes from a goalkeeper. Murillo’s critical clearance on the goal-line has kept Nottingham Forest above the relegation zone. Their recent result helps them stay ahead of West Ham, who are closing the gap.

Stat of the Week

Liverpool continues to struggle this season. They have set a record for conceding the most last-minute goals in a single season, with five defeats linked to those late goals after Andre’s stoppage-time effort this week.
