‎Liam Delap takes our Player of the Week honours after a stunning brace that sank Manchester City. Forest secured a monumental 3-1 victory at the City Ground, with Delap rightly named Man of the Match for his clinical display. He opened his account in the 18th minute, beautifully finishing a Xaver Schlager assist to make it 2-0. After Rayan Cherki pulled one back for the visitors, Delap struck again in the 73rd minute following a swift Morgan Gibbs-White break to restore the two-goal cushion, marking his first home goals as a Forest player against his former club.

‎The vital win lifted Forest out of the bottom three and condemned Manchester City to three consecutive league defeats. Delap’s dominant performance earned him a stellar 8.8 out of 10 rating on FotMob, the highest of any player on the pitch. His power, intelligent movement, and ice-cold finishing proved to be the ultimate difference-maker in a weekend filled with tactical surprises across the division.

‎Several other stars across the league also put in massive shifts to push their teams over the line. Florian Wirtz scored at Crystal Palace to finally end a 12-game Premier League goal drought and help Liverpool get back to winning ways. Meanwhile, Noah Okafor scored just 97 seconds after coming off the bench to secure a late win for Leeds against Spurs, and Evanilson found the net for the fifth consecutive league match as Bournemouth extended their blistering winning streak to eight straight games.
