Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester City) – making important saves against West Ham United for Leicester City to march on to a fourth consecutive victory in all competitions and the third straight Premier League victory.

Nikola Kalinic (Fiorentina) – scoring another late winner for Fiorentina to leave their Serie A fixture against  Crotone with the maximum points

Antoine Griezmann (Atlético Madrid) – his stunning freekick goal against Sevilla was the winning goal that got Atletico Madrid closer to finishing the season in a position that will give the team a direct qualification for the Spanish La Liga to the 2017/18 UEFA Champions League.

But this week’s #SOTW was earned by …

Kylian Mbappe (Monaco) 

For contributing two goals for Monaco to get an away victory over Caen. It was another victory that keeps Monaco on course to break Paris Saint-Germain title winning streak.
