Picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding.
The shortlist for #SOTW included…
Gonzalo Higuain – Juventus** vs Chievo Verona
Antoine Griezmann – Real Madrid vs Atletico Madrid**
Mario Balotelli – Lille vs OGC Nice**
Roberto Firmino and Philippe Coutinho – Stoke vs Liverpool**
Danijel Subasic – Angers vs Monaco**
Radamel Falcao – Angers vs Monaco**
Yussuf Poulsen – RB Leipzig** vs Bayer Leverkusen
Zlatan Ibrahimovic – Sunderland vs Manchester United**
Edinson Cavani – Paris Saint-Germain** vs Guingamp
Romelu Lukaku – Everton** vs Leicester City.
But the SOTW will have to go to
Robert Lewandowski
Bayern Munich** vs Borussia Dortmund
For contributing two goals to help Bayern Munich come out victorious in Der Klassiker. Lewandowski’s two goals also saw him leap over Dortmund’s Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to the top of the goal scoring list.
