Week 6, in many ways, turned out to be your typical weekend of Premier League action.
We saw Manchester United come in total self-destruct modeArsenal score from set pieces to win a football match, and Chelsea’s Cole Palmer proves once again that he has become a true world-class footballer.
And after all that fun, here are the six best players in the Premier Leagueaction of the weekend, classified.
Tottenham’s most in-form player was absolutely fantastic beat Manchester United on sunday
Kulusevski created a ridiculous nine chances for his team-mates in the 3-0 win, capping off a fine performance with a superbly skilful finish that left Andre Onana clutching in the air.
After garnering a boatload of praise for his oh-so-beautiful performances over the last 12 months, Gabriel Martinelli finally looked back at his best 2022/23 in the beat Leicester City.
The Brazilian pulled it all together in the final third, scoring one himself and setting up another in the crucial win. With Raheem Sterling knocking on the door for regular minutes, he just needed Martinelli.

But on Saturday, he recalled his flare for scoring outrageous goals. Long range banger? Tick. Deft volley to collect all three points in a comeback win at Goodison? Tick.
Liam Delap’s performance on Sunday was so good that half of Ireland scrambled to see if he is still eligible to play for the Boys In Green. As far as we can tell, it isn’t now, but it could be if the new FIFA regulations are met.
But enough about my pitiful international team.
The young forward, formerly in the good old books Manchester Citywas outstanding in the draw with Aston Villa, scoring both goals for an increasingly resilient Ipswich Town. The second was also a cracker.
In a surprise to no one on planet Earth, Cole Palmer is the undisputed best player in game week six.
Palmer scored four goals in the space of 20 first-half minutes against Brighton, the first time ever, to produce arguably the best individual Premier League display by a player in Chelsea blue never
Seriously, it was this good Imagine if he had been sidelined at Manchester City?
