One was David De Gea, but his rating was still very generous. Elsewhere, Youri Tielemans chose a wrong day to have a bad game.
Here is the Premier League weekend’s worst XI according to Whoscored ratings…
GK: David De Gea – 6.12
We’re flabbergasted the Man Utd keeper earned a six after a first-half horror show at Brentford. The first goal was his mistake, and he was largely culpable for the second too. Leicester’s Danny Ward was awarded the same rating for his performance in the 4-2 defeat Arsenal but we’re making a judgement call – De Gea was unspeakably bad, as he admitted.
RB: Adam Smith – 6.28
The Whoscored algorithm was in a generous mood across the board this weekend, with far fewer fives being handed out than we’d normally expect. Normally Smith’s score from the 4-0 defeat at Man City would spare him from inclusion – the Bournemouth right-wing-back was only 0.13 worse than City’s Kyle Walker – but not this week. The 31-year-old was no worse than any of his team-mates and actually rated better than Jack Stacey, the Cherries’ wing-back on the opposite side, as well as Lewis Cook and…
CB: Jefferson Lerma – 6.01
Scott Parker chose to keep midfielder Lerma in defence and Argentinian centre-back Marcos Senesi on the bench, and since most specialists will struggle with Erling Haaland and City this season, it would be churlish to be too hard on the Bournemouth man. Marked down for an unfortunate own goal even if his feet were nailed to the floor when Joao Cancelo smashed the ball across the box.
16 Conclusions: Tuchel and Chelsea 2-2 Conte and Tottenham
CB: Jonny Evans – 6.21
The Leicester defender looked to have the measure of Gabriel Jesus early on, but then the Arsenal striker had his way with Evans and the rest of the Foxes. The Northern Irishman lost three of his four duels and came out the loser in his only attempted tackle.
LB: Lucas Digne – 6.06
Digne’s scruffy own goal late on made for a ridiculously nervy ending for Villa, during which time Everton should have equalised. The ex-Toffee won only 40% of his duels, while going forward – as he must in this Villa side – five of his seven crosses reached Everton players while none of his three dribbles were successful.
Lucas Digne has scored for Everton while playing for Aston Villa this season and scored for Aston Villa while playing for Everton last season.
