 RANKED: The 6 Best Players of Premier League Gameweek 24

Premier League Gameweek 24 delivered another exciting round of action, with standout performances from several players across different teams. Some contributed with goals, others with assists, and a few with commanding defensive displays. After analyzing the games, here are the six best players from the weekend, ranked based on their impact and overall contribution.

---

1. Erling Haaland (Manchester City)

Performance: 1 Goal | Dominant Display in 5-1 Win Over Arsenal

It’s no surprise that Erling Haaland tops this list yet again. The Norwegian striker was at his ruthless best as Manchester City demolished Arsenal 5-1 at the Etihad. While he only scored once, his presence alone kept the Gunners’ defense on edge throughout the match. His movement, strength, and ability to get into scoring positions were on full display, making him a constant menace for Arsenal’s backline.

After missing several weeks through injury, Haaland is back in full force, reminding everyone why he won the Golden Boot last season. With City still in the title race, his contributions in the coming weeks will be crucial.

2. James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur)

Performance: 2 Assists | Orchestrated Attack in 2-0 Win Against Brentford

Tottenham’s creative maestro, James Maddison, once again proved why he is one of the best playmakers in the Premier League. Against Brentford, he was the driving force in midfield, providing two brilliant assists and playing a key role in Spurs’ attacking movements. His vision, passing accuracy, and ability to exploit spaces made life difficult for Brentford’s defense.

Since joining Spurs, Maddison has seamlessly fit into their system, and his creativity continues to be one of the team’s strongest assets. If Tottenham hopes to secure a top-four finish, performances like this will be essential.

3. Diogo Jota (Liverpool)

Performance: 2 Goals | Clinical Finishing in 2-0 Win Over Bournemouth

Liverpool’s versatile forward Diogo Jota delivered a match-winning performance against Bournemouth, scoring both of the Reds’ goals in their 2-0 victory. His sharp movement and clinical finishing ensured that Liverpool maintained their strong position in the title race.

Jota is often overshadowed by Liverpool’s other attacking stars, but his ability to score important goals at crucial moments is invaluable. Whether playing as a winger or a central striker, he offers Jurgen Klopp’s team a different dimension in attack.

4. Ivan Toney (Brentford)

Performance: Strong Attacking Display Despite 2-0 Loss to Tottenham

Even though Brentford lost to Tottenham, Ivan Toney’s individual performance was outstanding. The striker was a constant threat, using his physicality and clever positioning to create problems for Spurs’ defenders. He came close to scoring on multiple occasions and was unlucky not to get on the scoresheet.

Toney’s return from suspension has been a major boost for Brentford. His ability to hold up the ball, link up play, and convert chances makes him one of the best strikers outside the traditional "Big Six." If Brentford can create more opportunities for him, he will continue to be a major goal threat.

5. Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United)

Performance: 1 Assist | Defensive and Attacking Brilliance in 2-1 Loss to Fulham

Kieran Trippier continues to prove why he is one of the most reliable full-backs in the Premier League. Even in Newcastle’s 2-1 defeat to Fulham, the English right-back played a crucial role. He provided an assist with a pinpoint cross and was solid in both attack and defense.

Trippier’s leadership and consistency have been key for Newcastle, and his ability to contribute both defensively and offensively makes him an invaluable asset to Eddie Howe’s side. With Newcastle looking to bounce back in the coming weeks, they will heavily rely on his experience and quality.

6. Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)

Performance: 1 Assist | Defensive and Playmaking Masterclass in 2-0 Win Over Bournemouth

Liverpool’s right-back once again showcased his incredible passing ability and attacking intelligence. Trent Alexander-Arnold was a key figure in the Reds’ win over Bournemouth, delivering a perfect assist and maintaining defensive solidity throughout the match.

What makes Alexander-Arnold so special is his ability to dictate play from a deeper position. Whether it’s switching play with a cross-field pass, delivering set-pieces, or creating goal-scoring chances, he continues to be one of Liverpool’s most influential players.
