A day after Tottenham made Gareth Bale's return official, two Spurs strikers celebrated the arrival of the Welshman in a spectacular way - Son and Harry Kane, it is not known which of the two worked harder and humiliated Southampton's defense.
In the 5:2 victory, the Korean shined with four goals, and each of them was scored by the captain, whom Jose Mourinho "accused" of "killing" the game after the triumph.
- He was incredible, he held the strings of the match in his hands and "killed" it with assists to a man who could hardly wait for them - said Mourinho.
James Rodriguez shone in Everton's shirt against West Brom, but his fantastic performance was overshadowed by the hat-trick scored by "Caramel" striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Dejan Kulusevski was the scorer on his debut in the Juventus jersey, while Bayern ace Serge Gnabry scored three goals at the start of the Bundesliga. We present the players who marked the European football weekend:
THE GOALKEEPER
Alison (Liverpool) - saved the first penalty since arriving from Roma two summers ago. The Brazilian did it against Chelsea and compatriot Jorginho.
DEFENSE
Haidara (Leipzig) - Julian Nagelsmann offered some new solutions in Leipzig's game, but that didn't stop them from winning three points in the opener against Mainz. Hajdara repelled the onslaught of the opponent with a goal for 3:1 and set the final score.
Elustondo (Sociedad) - it is not easy to stop Real, even when they have three young men (Vinicius, Rodrigo, Edegard). The Basque stopper led the last line of the team from San Sebastián.
Zapacosta (Genoa) - he will remember his debut in the "griffin" jersey for the goal in the duel with Crotone. Behind the experienced defender is a bad period and a serious injury, he wants to revive his career at "Marasi".
THE MIDDLE
Kulusevski (Juventus) - he used the moment when Juve's attack was decimated and told Andrea Pirlo that he was a serious option. The young Swede was the scorer against Sampdoria, and whoever watched him last season in the Parma jersey knows that the "old lady" did not just invest 40 million euros in his arrival.
James Rodriguez (Everton) - advanced statistics say that against VBA he had 47 passes, 68 contacts with the ball and not a single sprint. And he scored a goal and registered an assist... That's Hames - the definition of the beauty of football, Carlo Ancelotti's pet...
Aspas (Celta) - everything is changing at Celta, but not Aspas' influence on the game and results. When at their peak, the team from Vigo wins. He scored twice against Valencia, Celta won 2:1.
Gnabri (Bayern) - he played 72 minutes against Schalke, and he needed only 59 to be a triple scorer. It was one of the easier hat-tricks in the history of football, because the defense of the "royal blue" did not even exist...
ATTACK
Son (Tottenham) - is there a more underrated striker in Europe? Mauricio Pochettino wondered, Jose Mourinho also wonders... Four goals, four routine realizations in Southampton seem to be a message to Gareth Bale that he has to fight for a place in Tottenham as he did in Real.
Kane (Tottenham) - if Son is a guarantee for Spurs fans, then Kane is even bigger. With assists, he participated in all of the Korean's goals, and then he put an end to it when he himself shook the "saints" net.
Calvert-Lewin (Everton) - the huge progress under Ancelotti's command came at the start of this season. A goal for Tottenham, then three for West Brom - Calvert-Lewin is experiencing the best moments of his career.
