Brenden Aaronson (Leeds): I think that was a huge call to put him in. There has been a bit of a call for him to be dropped. He gets the opening goal, missed a few chances in weeks before, but it was a monstrous performance. He stepped up into the game and took the initiative to be like, ‘I’m going to be the difference maker today’. He showed why he should be in that Leeds team.

Granit Xhaka (Sunderland): Loads of people will look at all of the new signings, look at the young players that Sunderland have. Xhaka is the general on that pitch. He organises, tackles, has people doing his running for him. He reminds me of what John Terry used to be like at Chelsea towards the end of his career. He’s just a level above everyone else. The way he wraps the passes in, he gets everything right. For me, he was sensational.

Bryan Mbeumo (Manchester United): I wanted to put Matheus Cunha in but Mbeumo got that second goal. You can see he’s found his feet now, he’s comfortable, the shirt is not a problem, playing at Manchester United is not a problem. Him and Cunha are the reason they are going to be able to fly up the league. Both of them are talented, both of them are exceptional. The two goals Mbeumo scored were magnificent. When it got a little bit ropey towards the end, that chance fell to him and I don’t think anyone thought he was going to miss. Huge from him, huge for Manchester United.

Wilson Isidor (Sunderland): He’s really taken to the Premier League much more than I thought he would. I thought he would struggle if I’m being 100% honest. He didn’t set the world alight in the Championship, he only got 12 goals, which is pretty poor considering the team ended up getting promoted. He’s also a bit gangly, a bit crude, but he’s done really well in the Premier League. Maybe stepping up has forced him to raise his game.
