Goalkeeper

Patrick Sequeira (Casa Pia) 9.4

Casa Pia earned a hard-fought point against Famalicao in the Portuguese top flight on Sunday, with Sequeira starring between the sticks for the hosts.

The Costa Rican shot-stopper proved crucial to his side, making 13 saves during the match, to extend Casa Pia's impressive league run to just one defeat in nine.

Defence

Michael Murillo (Marseille) 7.8

It was a ninth successive head-to-head victory for Marseille over relegation-threatened Le Havre, with Murillo among several standout performers for the Olympians.

Not only was the Panamanian a reliable figure at the back for Roberto De Zerbi's side, but he also provided an assist for Ulisses Garcia late on, capping an excellent all-round display.

Claudio Falcao (SC Farense) 8.1

Falcao produced a heroic performance in the heart of Farense's defence, as the struggling visitors battled to a crucial point at Santa Clara in the Primeira Liga.

The Brazilian centre-back won five aerials duels and made several key tackles, helping Farense to just their fourth clean sheet of the season.

Mickael Nade (Saint-Etienne) 8.5

Having spent the last couple of months out with injury, Nade returned in style over the weekend, helping Saint-Etienne to a convincing 3-1 home win over Reims.

The Frenchman set up his side's equaliser with a brilliant run and delivery for Augustine Boakye's close-range strike, while the influential full-back also won 100% of his duels across the contest.

Midfield

Alexis Saelemaekers (Roma) 8.6

Roma earned the local bragging rights on Sunday evening after a superb first-half performance fired Claudio Ranieri's men to a 2-0 victory over rivals Lazio.

Saelemaekers was the main man for the Giallorossi, setting up Lorenzo Pellegrini's opener before doubling his side's lead with a well-taken finish - his third goal of the campaign.

Xeka (Estoril) 8.9

Having been limited to just four league appearances for Estoril since his summer switch from Al Sadd, Xeka marked his return from injury with a stellar display against Estrela.

The visitors ran out 4-2 winners in Amadora, with the Portuguese midfielder breaking the deadlock brilliantly from range before registering an assist for Yanis Begraoui's second.

Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid) 8.6

Real Madrid moved to the top of LaLiga on Friday evening after a dramatic last-gasp victory at Valencia, with Bellingham scoring yet another momentous goal for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

The talismanic midfielder looked to have cost his side with a penalty miss at the start of the second half, but as is so often the case, the Englishman rose to the occasion, capitalising on a defensive mix-up to sweep home the winner deep into stoppage time.

Davidson (Basaksehir) 8.9

Davidson's fourth goal of the campaign proved to be a decisive one as Basaksehir battled to a hard-fought 1-0 win against Adana Demirspor, closing to within four points of the European qualification spots in the Super Lig.

The 33-year-old Brazilian created space for himself inside the box before meeting Olivier Kemen's delivery with a clinical header to secure all three points.

Attack

Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford) 9.4

Brentford secured a long-awaited first Premier League victory on the road this season, dismantling rock-bottom Southampton 5-0 with a ruthless display of attacking football.

Not for the first time this campaign, Mbeumo was the star performer for the Bees, netting two second-half goals and an assist to end a five-match winless run across all competitions for Thomas Frank's side.

Mame Thiam (Eyupspor) 8.6

High-flying Eyupspor romped to an emphatic 4-1 away victory over Antalyaspor, as Senegalese striker Thiam moved into double digits for the season.

Thiam netted a quickfire brace early on to give his side a healthy advantage before putting the seal on an excellent performance with an assist for Prince Obeng Ampem in the second half.

Viktor Gyokeres (Sporting CP) 8.6

Gyokeres' remarkable scoring form shows no signs of slowing down, with the in-demand striker bagging his fifth hat-trick of the campaign in Sporting's thrilling 4-4 draw at Vitoria Guimaraes

The Swede's latest treble takes his tally for the season up to 30 (from just 28 matches), further underlining his status as one of the world's best finishers.
