Denzel Dumfries (Inter) – 9.15
The first of two Inter players after they blew Lazio away on Monday night, Denzel Dumfries was superb down the right in Rome having scored one and assisted another at the Olimpico. Those came from respective returns of three shots and one key pass as the Dutchman earned a WhoScored rating of 9.15.
Juma Bah (Real Valladolid) – 8.46
Teenager Juma Bah put in his best rated performance of the season as Real Valladolid secured a huge three points at the expense of relegation rivals Valencia last week. Bah was resolute at the back having made 13 clearances and blocked three shots on his way to a WhoScored rating of 8.46.
Sergio Gonzalez (Leganes) – 8.39
Joining Bah at the heart of the defence is Leganes centre-back Sergio Gonzalez, who returned a WhoScored rating of 8.39 in Sunday’s surprise 1-0 win at Barcelona. Gonzalez scored his second goal of the season early on against the league leaders, while six clearances and three interceptions was crucial as Leganes earned a huge three points.

Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) – 9.79
With a WhoScored rating of 9.79, Son Heung-Min is the European Player of the Week. Son only played 45 minutes in Tottenham’s win over Southampton, but that was enough for the Spurs skipper to score with one of seven shots and provide a brace of assists from three key passes in a fine showing.
