Monday night’s thriller at Old Trafford brought joy to several of our list. We thought Manchester United v Bournemouth would be high-scoring and, sure enough, it finished 4-4.
Evanilson (£7.0m), Matheus Cunha (£7.9m), Casemiro (£5.5m) and Marcus Tavernier (£5.5m) all netted, while the latter also set one up, taking him to 12 points. Tipped for his own assist, Amad Diallo (£6.3m) went one better by bagging the opening goal.
It was strange seeing Erling Haaland (£15.0m) on the table, following three blanks in four. No worries, he simply went on to secure a brace at Crystal Palace. But Nick Woltemade (£7.4m) had a different time, scoring an unfortunate own goal in the long-awaited Wear-Tyne derby.
