Despite the slim pickings, Arsenal's 4-1 victory over Aston Villa was the main highlight of the wins, while there were also away triumphs for Everton and Newcastle.
For the first time in 2026, it's time to take a look at who makes Flashscore's Premier League Team of the Week.
Goalkeeper
Jordan Pickford (Everton) - 8.0
Jordan Pickford recorded an eighth clean sheet of the season as Everton held off Nottingham Forest for a 2-0 win on the road.
England's number one made six saves and prevented 0.94 goals during his outing at the City Ground.
Defenders
James Tarkowski (Everton) - 8.1
Like Pickford, James Tarkowski did his bit to ensure Everton were leaving Forest with an unblemished result.
Tarkowski made a game-high 13 clearances and won nine of the 10 duels he contested.
Gabriel marked his first Arsenal start since November with a trademark goal from a corner as the league-leading Gunners thrashed Villa.
The Brazil star battled with Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez to bundle home Arsenal's first goal and break open the game.
Oliver Scarles (West Ham) - 8.1
West Ham's Oliver Scarles had a solid outing as the Hammers played out a 2-2 draw with Brighton.
The 20-year-old created two big chances, took two shots inside the box and made seven clearances and three interceptions in the stalemate.
Midfielders
Cole Palmer (Chelsea) - 8.2
Cole Palmer dispatched a penalty as Chelsea were held to a 2-2 draw by Bournemouth, with all four goals at Stamford Bridge coming in the first half.
Palmer squeezed in the spot kick beyond Djordje Petrovic to bring the Blues level after falling behind early.
Joelinton (Newcastle) - 8.5
One of two Newcastle midfielders, Joelinton enjoyed the Magpies' 3-1 win at Burnley from the get-go as he scored a rapid opener.
He netted an instinctive goal after just two minutes at Turf Moor and went on to win 10 duels and make three clearances as Newcastle took the points.
Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle) - 8.4
Joelinton's Brazilian teammate Bruno Guimaraes was also on target against Burnley as he too put together a rounded display.
The Newcastle captain capitalised on a defensive mix-up and cleverly lifted the ball over the stranded Martin Dubravka and into an empty net.
James Garner (Everton) - 9.8
James Garner ran the show for Everton at Forest, contributing to a bit of everything in a dominant midfield performance against his former club.
Coming away with a week-high 9.8 Flashscore rating, Garner notched a goal and an assist and created two big chances.
He was defensively sound too, winning eight duels, making eight clearances and two interceptions.
Joshua Zirkzee (Manchester United) - 8.2
Joshua Zirkzee's deflected strike was the best it got for Manchester United as they could only draw 1-1 at home to rock-bottom Wolves.
The Dutchman turned well on the edge of the box and found the net with his left foot via a very big deflection.
Forwards
Richarlison (Tottenham) - 7.6
With limited service, Richarlison lived off scraps as Tottenham drew 0-0 on Thomas Frank's return to Brentford.
Richarlison took two shots and had six touches in the Brentford box and won eight duels and made five clearances at the other end.
Leandro Trossard (Arsenal) - 8.0
The ever-productive Leandro Trossard turned in a match-winning display to help Arsenal surge past Villa.
The Belgian trebled Arsenal's lead with a fine first-time finish, then turned provider for Gabriel Jesus' goal.
