Premier League’s GW 3 best XI: Who joins the goalscorer Michail Antonio?

Three matchdays have already passed in the Premier League and we’re starting to see the table is shaping up as predicted.

It’s always important to get at least a win in the first three games of a season. As of now, only Tottenham has been able to get a win in all three games, and Wolves, Norwich, and Arsenal haven’t been able to get a win at all.

There were a lot of exciting matches this weekend past and many players kept shining as they have been at the beginning of the season.

Premier League goal of the weekend — Rodri

From where else were you expecting the goal of the weekend to come from? Rodri scored a real golazo where Leno couldn’t do anything about it and it was by far the best goal this weekend.

One of the most important facts from this weekend is that Manchester United made history and has now gone 28 away games unbeaten, breaking Arsenal’s record of 27. A solid start for the Red Devils who have not lost in these first three games.

The best team in Matchday 3 in EPL: 4-2-4 Formation

Goalkeeper – David De Gea
Wolves 0-1 Manchester United

It looks like De Gea is getting back to the good old days where he was considered one of the best GKs in the world.

In the game against Wolves, he made 5 fantastic saves, including one double-save from a header and a shot from a rebound from Roman Saiss, who was very close to getting a goal. These saves easily won the game for the Red Devils and helped the Spanish goalkeeper gain some confidence.

Defender – Aaron Wan-Bissaka
Wolves 0-1 Manchester United

AWB is expected to have a great season this year and he has started on the right foot. He was probably the best Red Devil in defense in this game and made a spectacular save on the line that helped United to get all three points.

A ball that had already passed De Gea and AWB managed to save it at the line when the game was tied at 0 in the fifth minute. If it wasn’t for this save the game would have gone any way.

Defender – Andreas Christensen
Liverpool 1-1 Chelsea

Christensen was perfect against Liverpool, helping the Blues gain a valuable point. The Blues, who played 45 minutes with one player fewer thanks to a Reece James red card, played extremely defensive football but were well-organized thanks to Andreas Christensen.

The Blues have only allowed 2 goals in his last 12 Premier League appearances and Christensen is finally getting an opportunity to play more consistently and he’s living up to expectations.

Defender – Raphael Varane
Wolves 0-1 Manchester United

It is not easy to play well on your debut, especially in the Premier League. Varane is known to be one of the best center-backs in the world and he showed that level in this game.

He was average in the first few minutes but as the game progressed, his level did as well. He assisted Mason Greenwood for his goal and was key for the Red Devils to achieve a clean sheet.

Defender – Luke Shaw
Wolves 0-1 Manchester United

The English left-back has been playing at an excellent level since last season. He did a great job stopping Adama Traore, who had a really good game but Shaw was there to contain him.

Shaw was running up and down the lefthand side the whole game tirelessly. It was like he didn’t get tired. He was great at both offense and defense. He made three interceptions during the game.

Midfielder – Connor Gallagher
West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace

The 21-year-old midfielder helped Patrick Vieira’s team get their first goals under the French manager. He scored two really good goals, especially the second one which was just an art how he eluded the defenders to tie the game 2-2.

He had a 90% pass completion and was brilliant in the midfield. The youngster is one of the promising players in the EPL that we should keep an eye on.

Midfielder – Rodri
Manchester City 5-0 Arsenal

The Spanish midfielder collected his sixth Premier League goal for the Cityzens and it was a perfect one. He dominated the midfield and gave balance to Guardiola’s team. He had a 96% pass accuracy and had 118 touches. Complete dominance in the Cityzens’ midfield.

Forward – Michail Antonio
West Ham 2-2 Crystal Palace

Antonio is having a brilliant start to the season where he is the top goalscorer in the league and has the second most assist only behind Paul Pogba’s five. He assisted Pablo Fornals for the first goal and then scored the second one to help the Hammers stay second in the EPL table standings.

The English striker has already scored four goals and three assists in three games and he’s a solid contender for the Golden Boot this season due to his excellent start.

All English Premier League

Forward – Jamie Vardy
Norwich City 1-2 Leicester City

Jamie Vardy had a similar weekend to Michail Antonio, with a goal and an assist to help the Foxes get an away win against a tough opponent in Norwich City.

This is Vardy’s second goal of the season in just three games, kicking his campaign off in style, showing age isn’t slowing him down at all.

Forward – Ferran Torres
Manchester City 5-0 Arsenal

It looks like Guardiola’s plan of playing with a false 9 is finally working out. Ferran Torres has been the young man responsible for playing the role and he has done it effortlessly. The 21-year-old scored two and assisted one in Manchester City’s win against Arsenal.

He linked up greatly with Gabriel Jesus and Jack Grealish and it looks like Guardiola could have found his best three on top. Ferran Torres started the season on the right foot and he could be one of the players who surprises us the most at the end of the season.

Forward – Gabriel Jesus
Manchester City 5-0 Arsenal

Pep Guardiola finally found where Gabriel Jesus can help the team the most, on the wings. The Brazilian striker is deadly on the wing with crosses and possesses a lot of speed to bomb up and down the channels.

The Brazilian scored one and assisted one in the Cityzens win and he is making a strong case to start over players like Riyad Mahrez and Raheem Sterling this season.
