Top 5: Premier League players of the weekend including Leeds, Liverpool and Newcastle stars

Diogo Jota (Liverpool)

After impressing as a substitute in the win at Ajax in midweek, Diogo Jota was handed a start alongside Liverpool’s fearsome front-three against Sheffield United. And the Portugal international repaid the faith shown in him by Jurgen Klopp with the winning goal to secure the champions a 2-1 comeback win. Th ex-Wolves attacker’s only shot at goal may have been the header from Sadio Mane’s cross, but it was the decisive blow which ended the Reds’ run of two league games without a win.
