Premier League Matchday 4 Best XI – How many will be vying for the Golden Boot?

Forward – Odsonne Edouard
Crystal Palace 3-0 Tottenham

There is nobody that can deny that it is, in fact, Odsonne Edouard who had the best Premier League debut this season and on Matchday 4. The man stepped onto the pitch and the first touch of the ball turned into a goal.

It took him 28 seconds to score his first of the game and the season. He then sealed the three points for Palace after scoring a second goal – his brace scored took him only eight minutes, the quickest of the three braces scored on the day by him, Lukaku, and Ronaldo.

Forward – Romelu Lukaku
Chelsae 3-0 Aston Villa

Like Ronaldo, so did Lukaku enjoy his home fans at Stamford Bridge for the first time this season, replying to CR7’s brace with one of his own. It took the Belgian 15 minutes to get on the scoresheet for the second time this season.

His second of the game and the final for the Blues was top-draw! He actually handed César Azpilicueta an assist with a lot of work still left to do for the forward after receiving the pass. He scored from the edge of the box to take his tally to three goals in three games played.

What was amazing about the Belgian, Ronaldo took six shots to score a pair, he only took two shots – a 100% shot accuracy for Lukaku.

Forward – Cristiano Ronaldo
Manchester United 4-1 Newcastle United

It is no secret why Ronaldo has made TTF’s best XI for Matchday 4. The striker scored a brace on his second full debut to take Man United straight to the top, providing enough evidence, he means business.

Yes, Ronaldo had some of the worst numbers during the game and had some of the least touches on the pitch. However, when he did get the ball at his feet, something happened almost every time. He took six shots at goal and scored from two of them.
