Sunday’s title showdown between Manchester City and Arsenal may not have lived up to the billing, but that was not to stop Rodri from turning in yet another formidable display in the middle of the park. City’s No.16 completed a total of seven dribbles against the Gunners, at least four more than any other player on the pitch. Rodri also made three key passes, 10 accurate long balls, one tackle and one clearance. Photo: Michael Regan
Cullen netted his first-ever Premier League goal in some style at Stamford Bridge on Saturday, as he volleyed home from outside of the box to bring the visitors level just two minutes into the second half. Cullen, who also made an interception and three key passes, then went on to provide the assist for Dara O’Shea to equalise for the Clarets in the 81st minute. Photo: Alex Broadway
