Everton's James Garner is Flashscore's Premier League Player of the Week for his stunning individual display in the Toffees' 2-0 win at former club Nottingham Forest.

Garner dominated the midfield battle at the City Ground, earning himself a whopping 9.8 Flashscore player rating in the process.

The 24-year-old had a hand in both Everton goals, first netting the opener in the first half, before later turning provider for Thierno Barry with a decisive pass.

Garner was astute defensively too, winning eight duels and two tackles as well as making eight clearances and two interceptions.
