- Hugo Lloris (Spurs)
You may wonder as to why we picked a goal keeper who winded up on the losing side. Although Hugo Lloris was on the losing side, he was the best goal keeper at the Old Trafford stadium in the Greater Manchester, England.
When in a week, players like Claudio Bravo, Darren Randolph, and Loris Karius were feeling shameful, Lloris stroke a chord with everyone who forgot that he was the best player of Tottenham Hotspur. Although, the Frenchman was not able to prevent the goal of Henrikh Mkhitaryan, he performed to his best in order to keep the score down, which earned him Jose Mourinho’s admiration.
- Hector Bellerin (Arsenal)
Hector Bellerin has come a long way. This is even visible in the love of Arsenal fans, as when he got injured, his fans got really worried, as when they would have been anxious if Alexis Sanchez or Mesut Ozil would have been injured.
The Spanish youngster was back with a bang and served as a support for Theo Walcott against Stoke City. Bellerin has now become the best right-back in the EPL. He showed his playing skills in the match against Stoke City, where he exhibited a marvelous recovery pace on various occasions. Plus, he set up Theo Walcott for the leveler of Gunners.
- David De Gea
David De Gea, the goal keeper of Manchester United, did his best to save goals for his team. The save from the free kick of Christian Eriksen was first class. This save was commendable, even because the free kick picked up speed as soon as the ball was out of the turf.
