Top 5: Premier League players of the weekend including Chelsea, Manchester United and Spurs stars

Ross Barkley

Ever since breaking through as a wonderkid at Everton, it’s been an up and down career for Ross Barkley. However, now on loan at Aston Villa, he could be at the right club and in the right system to shine in the Premier League. Although he wasn’t as consistent in this performance as he was in the big 7-2 win over Liverpool, the attacking midfielder grew as the game went on and was rewarded when his 25-yard strike found the bottom corner. The strike secured the Villans all three points and maintained their 100% start to the campaign.
