Our Premier League awards recognize the highlights and lowpoints from the weekend’s football, featuring Ollie Watkins and Patrick Dorgu.
Moment of the Week
There was a heartfelt moment this weekend before Liverpool faced Wolves at Anfield.
As Diogo Jota’s former clubs met, Jota’s children and family members walked out with Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk to honor his memory.
Jota’s tragic passing, along with his brother Andre, impacted not just the clubs he played for but the entire football community. Liverpool, Wolves, and his other former teams continue to remember him.

Player of the Week
Ollie Watkins faced a challenging start to the season, but this week he made a strong impact for Aston Villa. He began on the bench during their crucial match against Chelsea, with Donyell Malen starting as center-forward.
Watkins had scored only three times in the Premier League before this weekend and lost his place in the England squad in November. However, he sent a clear message to coaches Unai Emery and Thomas Tuchel after scoring twice in Aston Villa’s comeback win at Chelsea.
His performance helped extend Aston Villa’s winning streak to a club-record 11 games across all competitions.

Goal of the Week
Ruben Amorim made some tactical changes at Manchester United this weekend, shifting from a three-man defense due to absences.
He showcased his adaptability by moving from his usual left wing-back position to the right side of attack. The Denmark international had a standout performance, scored his first goal for Manchester United, and secured a 1-0 victory over Newcastle at Old Trafford.

Save of the Week
A remarkable save.
Not many goalkeepers can make saves like this, but David Raya of Arsenal is among the top ones in football. The Spaniard made a full-stretch save to deny Yankuba Minteh, adding another great save to his records.

The ever-reliable James Milner continues to impress at Brighton.
There was a striking age gap of two decades between the Brighton midfielder and Arsenal’s Marli Salmon in their match at the Emirates this weekend.

Enzo Maresca. Chelsea seemed to dominate against Aston Villa at Stamford Bridge, while the visitors struggled to create clear chances. After Unai Emery made a triple substitution to improve his team, Maresca’s own triple change for Chelsea made the team weaker.
