Our weekly Premier League awards honour the best – and worst – of the football action from the weekend. Player of the Week Just when you thought Erling Haaland had hit a slump, that he might actually be human, he roars back into form with a sensational performance against Wolves at the weekend. The Norwegian striker became the 32nd player in Premier League history to score four goals in a single game, taking him to 25 for the season. Yes, two of them were penalties, but his final strike was a sublime finish, arguably his finest since joining Man City. On a mission! pic.twitter.com/M0fD6 ..read more

The fall from the Premier League all the way to League One is a hard, painful one to endure, as Birmingham City and Huddersfield Town learned this week.  Both clubs were relegated from the Championship to the third tier on Saturday, but it wasn’t so long ago that they were gracing the top flight with their presence. The 13 years since the Blues were last in the Premier League (and winning the League Cup) have flown by, while the Terriers were there as recently as 2019.   They join a rather lengthy list of clubs who have dropped down the divisions over the past 32 years (yes, we do r ..read more

Erling Haaland put his recent poor form and injuries behind him on Saturday to remind everyone why he is still the best centre-forward in the world.  The Norwegian put four past Wolves at home in a 5-1 win over Gary O’Neil’s side, two of which came from the penalty spot, but his fourth strike was a superb effort from just inside the area that flew past goalkeeper Jose Sa. It came off the back of his goal against Nottingham Forest last weekend, when he was subbed on in the second half to clinch the game on his return from injury, meaning he has five goals in his last two games.   Tha ..read more

Six talking points ahead of the Premier League weekend, featuring huge games in the relegation battle and an Eagles midfielder for England? Can Luton up the pressure on their relegation rivals? Luton face Everton in Friday night football with the Hatters having the chance to up the ante in the relegation battle. A win would lift Rob Edwards’ side out of the bottom three, temporarily at least, and pile the pressure on Nottingham Forest and Burnley.

Five things we learned from the Premier League weekend, featuring ‘entertaining’ Manchester United and Arsenal’s in-form enigma.

Zeki Amdouni’s late penalty, following some inexplicable defending, earned Burnley a point and extended United’s run to one win in six games. Their ..read more
