Kevin De Bruyne vs Sheffield United

Kevin De Bruyne has been in sublime form this season for Manchester City, and the Belgian midfielder was on hand to score his side’s second against Sheffield United. He cut back on two defenders to send them the wrong way before firing an unstoppable drive into the corner to seal the win.

Marcus Rashford vs Burnley

A comedy goal which Marcus Rashford had absolutely no idea about but still made it for great viewing. With Burnley needing a goal, they committed men forward, and this left United with a chance to break. Daniel James picked Rashford on the run who rounded off the keeper only to lose his balance yet scored while falling down.

Christian Eriksen vs Norwich City

Christian Eriksen produced a textbook freekick against Norwich City to make our top goal of the week. In his first start under Jose Mourinho, the Danish midfield scored a beauty from the edge of the box which found the top corner despite an acrobatic effort from goalkeeper Tim Krool. Premier League 2019 Result: Norwich City Holds Tottenham Hotspur to 2–2 Draw at Carrow Road.
