The first month of the 2024/25 Premier League season is in the books, and what a month it was.
We witnessed great comebacks, impressive individual performances, baffling refereeing decisions (obviously) and even a mini crisis at Manchester United.
And after all that fun, we thought we’d pick each club’s best player from the first month of the campaign.
Bukayo Saka was a lot of people’s pick for player of the season, and so far he’s been very good for those predictions.
Arsenal’s ‘Starboy’ has been in fine form so far, contributing four goals in just three appearances.
If he continues to act this way, expect that gunners to push Man City all the way Premier League race for the title.
Aston Villa spent big to sign Amadou Onana as a replacement for Douglas Luiz, and it has been a masterful piece of business.
The midfielder has been a metronomic presence in the middle of the park, completing more than 90% of his passes in all three games, and even bagged two goals. A beautiful
Antoine Semenyo was the main reason Bournemouth managed to pick up four points in August.
After setting up the equalizer in the stunning draw with Newcastle United, he scored himself to start a rather miraculous comeback against Everton, with the Cherries coming from two goals down to win at Goodison Park before the international break .
Not Ivan Toney? no problem
Having been given the keys to Brentford’s attack following Toney’s departure to the Saudi Pro League, Bryan Mbeumo has been outstanding, scoring three from three.
Joao Pedro has finally brought his UEFA Europa League form to the Premier League, and we’re here for it.
The Brazilian was in mesmerizing form in the shock win over Arsenal before the international break, going past the Gunners defenders with consistent ease and scoring a goal. first class
Considering the fact that Chelsea have a billion strikers on their books right now, fans weren’t expecting to see a ton of Noni Madueke at the start of the 2024/25 season.
However, after new manager Enzo Maresca gave him the right forward spot, Madueke has played exceptionally well.
His hat-trick in the win against Wolves will go down as one of the best performances of the season, never mind just August.
When fit, Eberechi Eze is one of the most entertaining players to watch in the Premier League.
By August, I was fit and it was a lot of fun.
His goal against Chelsea was a real surprise.
If you have been on everton X/Twitter recently, you’ll know that fans aren’t too happy with the club’s current situation.
And considering they’ve lost all three games, conceded a 2-0 lead in added time at home to Bournemouth and lost 4-0 to Tottenham and 3-0 to Brighton, it’s pretty easy to see why .
Despite this, there has been one thing recently that has put a smile on Evertonian faces, and that is a Marouane Fellaini compilation that has been doing the rounds on social media. So, thanks to that, Peak Fellaini is their player of the month… because nobody playing for the club right now deserves to be.
The ever-reliable Antonee Robinson has been ever-reliable for Fulham so far this season.
Go to the figure.
The USMNT international has been the club’s most creative player in his first three games, with two assists.
Very, very few Ipswich Town fans will forget Liam Delap’s stunning goal against Fulham any time soon.
The goal secured the club’s first Premier League point in more than two decades.
Despite not being a guaranteed starter for Leicester City so far, dropping to the bench for the clash with Aston Villa, Facundo Buonanotte has made the most of his minutes.
His goal and assist made him the most potent attacker in the Foxes squad in August.
One led by Virgil van Dijk Liverpool The defense have conspired to concede zero goals in their first three games of the 2024/25 Premier League season.
That’s how well Van Dijk has played.
Three games, seven goals, two hat-tricks.
Yes, Erling Haaland is totally unstoppable.
Having lost two of their first three games, there weren’t too many contenders Man Utd“player of the month” award.
Perhaps the only candidate is Amad Diallo, who at least tried in August, scoring in the win against Brighton.
In many people’s eyes, Alexander Isak is the second best number nine in the Premier League behind Haaland.
It’s been easy to see why in the early weeks of the season.
The Swede has been fantastic, scoring the winning goal against Tottenham and leading the line impeccably with his hold-up play and willingness to press.
Honestly, now that Taiwo Awoniyi is fully fit, we didn’t expect Chris Wood to get many minutes at Nottingham Forest.
However, Nuno Espirito Santo has kept his faith in the former Newcastle striker and it has paid dividends.
Wood’s two goals have helped Forest start the new campaign stunningly unbeaten.
Southampton is really awful.
In fairness to Yukinari Sugawara, though, he did score a goal, so we’ve given him the nod here.
Well done, we suppose.
Tottenham’s performances in August were quite inconsistent and bewildering at times, but Son Heung-min has been as reliable as ever.
The club captain’s brace against Everton was very impressive, despite the quality of the opposition.
Jarrod Bowen is, and probably always will be (until he retires at least), West Ham’s best player.
August 2024 was no different, with the club’s star man continuing to contribute in the final third when called upon – netting an important late winner against Bournemouth in the second gameweek.
Only one Wolves player has been able to score a goal of consequence so far this season (goals in a 6-2 defeat are not of consequence), and that man is Jean-Ricner Bellegarde.
He will need to continue to find the net regularly if the Wolves have any hope of staying up.
