Power ranking every single African player in the Premier League so far this season - Happenings in 9ja
3Alex Iwobi
Like Zemura, Iwobi’s drop to third is an upshot of the outstanding showings from our top three.
The Nigerian set up Dwight McNeil’s winner in the 2-1 win at Southampton, a result that saw Everton win back-to-back games for the first time this season.
Iwobi was positive in possession and tenacious without the ball.
2Idrissa Gueye
Gueye keeps producing top performances since returning to Goodison Park, and another impressive display on the South Coast was unmistakable.
The Senegal midfielder made more recoveries, won more tackles and intercepted the ball more than everyone on the pitch in the 2-1 success.
He rises from eighth to second.
1Thomas Partey
Partey ascends to the top after scoring impressively in Arsenal’s 3-1 success over Spurs in the derby and showing the tactical awareness and ability in possession to produce a strong midfield display.
Only Bukayo Saka (eight) was involved in more Shot-Creating Actions than the Ghana superstar (seven), while the midfield man outdid his teammates for progressive passes (eight) and progressive carries (16).
He also made more interceptions than his colleagues but was outranked for recoveries by William Saliba (14-11).
A truly impressive Partey masterclass sees him deservedly take first spot.
