The best of the weekend #SOTW – Not losing a derby is always in style.

They made their own luck. These are the players that were instrumental in their team’s performance over the past weekend.

As it is with every other week, picking the outright brightest star is never easy, and sometimes blinding. There were many bright spots over the weekend, but these are the men that were able to make our list.

The final shortlist for #SOTW included…

Michy Batshuayi (FC Koln vs Borussia Dortmund) – German Bundesliga
Florian Thauvin (Marseille vs Metz) – French Ligue 1
Aaron Ramsey (Arsenal vs Everton) – English Premier League
Ademola Lookman (Borussia Monchengladbach vs RB Leipzig) – German Bundesliga
Fabian Orellana (Eibar vs Sevilla) – Spanish La Liga
Loren Moron ( Real Betis vs Villarreal) – Spanish La Liga
Mohamed Salah (Liverpool vs Tottenham) – English Premier League
Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus vs Sassuolo) – Italian Serie A

But the SOTW will have to go to
Gerard Pique (Espanyol vs Barcelona) – Spanish La Liga

For getting FC Barcelona the goal that kept them undefeated in the 2017/18 Spanish La Liga season after 22 games, and to avoid defeat in a Catalan Derby
