Gameweek 10 in the Premier League did not disappoint, as several high-profile players stepped up in crucial moments to make game-winning contributions. This round saw Liverpool gain an edge at the top of the table, Southampton finally break their season-long winless streak, and teams like Tottenham, Fulham, and Bournemouth secure vital victories. Each of these performances was driven by standout players who made a difference when it counted the most. Let’s delve into the top players who stole the show in Gameweek 10.
1. Dominic Solanke – Tottenham Hotspur
Leading the rankings this week is Tottenham’s star striker Dominic Solanke, who powered Spurs to victory against Aston Villa with two crucial goals. Solanke’s performance was a perfect blend of poise and precision, highlighting his ability to finish with finesse and clinical timing. His first goal—a deft dink over Villa’s goalkeeper—showcased his technical quality, while his second was a composed tap-in that sealed the game for Spurs. As the focal point of Tottenham’s attack, Solanke’s goals were the catalyst in securing three points, keeping his side firmly in the race for top spots.
2. Moises Caicedo – Chelsea
Moises Caicedo has had a steady adaptation period since joining Chelsea, but Gameweek 10 saw the Ecuadorian midfielder deliver one of his best performances yet. Caicedo played a critical role in Chelsea’s 1-1 draw against Manchester United, combining defensive grit with offensive prowess. Not only did he score a brilliant volley to level the game immediately after Fernandes’ penalty, but his work rate off the ball was equally impactful. With two tackles, two clearances, and four recoveries, Caicedo ensured Chelsea could keep United at bay, ultimately earning them a hard-fought point at Old Trafford.
3. Harry Wilson – Fulham
Fulham’s Harry Wilson put in a remarkable late-game performance, lifting his team to a thrilling 2-1 comeback win over Brentford. Despite only coming onto the field in the 82nd minute, Wilson quickly changed the game’s tempo. His first goal was a sublime flick, showing ingenuity and technical skill to equalize. Wilson followed up with a game-winning header from an Antonee Robinson cross, sparking scenes of celebration at Craven Cottage. His late heroics were instrumental in Fulham’s climb to ninth place, making him one of Gameweek 10’s standout performers.
4. Antoine Semenyo – Bournemouth
Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo was a nightmare for Manchester City’s defense, helping the Cherries secure a historic 1-0 win. Semenyo was Bournemouth’s most dangerous player on the day, constantly pressing City’s defenders and exploiting spaces with his pace and power. His early goal, set up by Milos Kerkez, set the tone for the game and forced City onto the back foot. Semenyo’s impact didn’t wane as the match progressed, showcasing a level of composure and creativity that bodes well for Bournemouth’s campaign.
5. Joe Gomez – Liverpool
Liverpool’s Joe Gomez made a remarkable impact off the bench, helping turn the tide against a resilient Brighton side. After Ibrahima Konate’s injury, Gomez slotted in seamlessly alongside Virgil van Dijk, helping Liverpool maintain defensive stability. He kept Brighton’s forwards in check, preserving Liverpool’s lead with composed play and key clearances. Gomez may not have scored, but his calm and authoritative presence helped Liverpool secure a comeback 2-1 victory that keeps them within reach of the Premier League summit.
