ST – Robin van Persie, Manchester United – 9.2
Having bagged a match-winning brace against the Saints this striker certainly justifies his place, even if the Red Devils as a whole were lucky to take all three points from St Mary’s.
ST – Andy Carroll, West Ham United – 9.7
Another player who scored twice over the weekend was Carroll, who dominated a Swansea City back line that couldn’t cope with the Englishman’s strength and power.
