5 Premier League footballers who have outshone others this term
Premier League is in full swing, as every weekend we wait for some thrilling encounters between the best of English clubs. We have already witnessed some amazing performances this term, with Liverpool winning all six matches and Chelsea following suit with five wins and one draw. Watford surprised us with their four straight victories. Here are 5 players who have outperformed others, this term.
Alisson Becker became the costliest goalkeeper ever when Liverpool bought him from AS Roma this term, but the record was eclipsed by Chelsea's acquisition of Arrizabalaga. Alisson has proved to be the X-factor Liverpool needed to outperform the others. He has kept four clean sheets in six matches till now, and many-a-times Liverpool's leads did not get wasted, thanks to Alisson.
Since he joined City in 2011, Sergio Aguero has never been out of the debate while enquiring about the best forwards in English football. Similarly, this season has also seen Aguero creating major problems for his opponent's defenses. Aguero has scored four goals already, has the highest number of shots (31), and has hit the woodwork three times, till now.
Sarri's style has given Chelsea an unparalleled mileage this season, with Chelsea playing some mesmerizing football. Notably, the Blues have remained undefeated. The player who has made this possible is Jorghino. He has already created history by playing 180 passes and having 191 touches (highest since 2003/04) against West Ham. Many teams have not managed to live up to the intensity he has delivered.
Liverpool captain James Milner has been their source of strength this season, with the 32-year-old showing the stamina, players ten years younger than him are finding difficult to replicate. Through his high work-rate and versatility, Milner is creating attacking chances every time the ball is at his feet. Further, he is covering more ground than any other player on the pitch.
Hazard has been playing in a different stratosphere this season under Sarri. Hazard, taking up Chelsea's attacking duties, has been at his consistent best, scoring five goals till now. He has already been called the present best player in the world by John Terry. His EFL Cup goal against Liverpool was a testament to his talents, with brilliant footwork and an equally mesmerizing finish.
