The 37th game week of the Premier League saw of lots of ups and downs. Swansea City’s win over Sunderland kept them in the Premier League for another season while Hull City succumbed to defeat against Crystal Palace and slumped to the Championship. Tottenham Hotspur bid goodbye to the White Hart Lane in a stunning fashion as they defeated Manchester United in their last match at their stadium.
Let us take a look at the 3 key players from the weekend action:
Alexis Sanchez
The Chilean once again singlehandedly destroyed a hapless Stoke City as Arsenal pumped in four goals past the Potters. This win could be the key to their entrance in the top four as the Gunners ramped up pressure on their fellow top four contenders Liverpool and Manchester City. Sanchez grabbed his 11th assist of the season as he set up Mesut Ozil with a delicious ball. He scored the third goal of his team as the North London rivals stepped an inch closer towards a top four finish. There has been lots of controversy regarding his future with the club but it seems he is currently enjoying his stay with the North London club.
Leroy Sane
When Pep brought the German to City he was struggling to acclimatise to the condition but as time passed he has been a regular in the city Lineup. The youngster first provided the assist to David Silva and then he also earned the penalty which Gabriel Jesus converted to make it 2-0. Sane has thrived under Guardiola’s guidance and his displays from on the left flank have been very eye catching. He was in a blazing mood as he a gave tough time to the Leicester City defence. His quick footed moves to surge in the opponent box have given the opponent teams a serious threat. City paid a whopping £37m to lure his services and Pep invested the money as a part of his long-term plan.
Philippe Coutinho
The Brazilian has been the vital cog in Liverpool’s exuberant display in the last few games. He made all the difference as Liverpool are sitting pretty comfortably in the third position and are on the way to securing a berth in next season’s Champions League. Another top class performance from the Brazilian sent West Ham United packing as the Reds continued to flourish under Klopp. The way they have performed so far it is looking very imminent that they will finish in their current position. Coutinho set up one goal and also netted two goals to give the Reds a smooth passage ahead.
