For many, Gameweek 17 of the 2023/24 Premier League season was sullied by an utterly dire game between Manchester United and Liverpool.
The 0-0 on Sunday bored everyone who watched it to tears, with neither side looking remotely capable of scoring a goal ever again.
That dour draw aside though, it was actually a pretty decent weekend of Premier League football.
Here’s 90min’s top performers from the weekend.
GK: Andre Onana (Manchester United)
Last week was a real Jekyll and Hyde week for Andre Onana.
After conceding a record-breaking 15th goal in the Champions League in midweek, the Manchester United goalkeeper kept a joint-league best sixth clean sheet of the season so far against high-flying Liverpool on Sunday.
His eight saves were key for the Red Devils.
RB: Alex Moreno (Aston Villa)
Alex Moreno deputised for the suspended Lucas Digne at the weekend, and did a bloody good job doing so.
The 30-year-old was in fantastic form during the win over Brentford on Sunday, scoring the equaliser in Villa’s eventual 2-1 win at the Gtech Community Stadium.
CB: Michael Keane (Everton)
Everton are the in-form team in the Premier League right now, and that is in large part thanks to their stout backline.
As well as keeping a crucial clean sheet at the weekend, Everton’s main man in defence Michael Keane also popped up with a crucial goal to earn his side a 2-0 win over Burnley.
CB: Raphael Varane (Manchester United)
After a spell out in the wilderness at Man Utd, Raphael Varane got himself firmly back in Erik ten Hag’s good books with his performance in the 0-0 draw with Liverpool.
The France defender won 100% of his duels and made a quite frankly ridiculous 15 clearances to keep the Reds at bay at Anfield.
LB: Dan Burn (Newcastle United)
The Premier League’s tallest left-back was at his best once again at the weekend.
Equally effective in the defensive third as the opposition box, big Dan Burn chipped in with a goal, four interceptions and eight duels won in the win over Fulham.
CM: Amadou Onana (Everton)
Two Onanas in the team of the week, and for very good reason.
