Playmaker’s Top Drawer

The winter break has broken and a full schedule of matches returned to our screens last weekend - the Premier League showing its quality with some absolute pearlers flying in in the top flight. 

Anthony Martial (Manchester United 3-0 Watford)

Marcus Rashford's injury threatened to derail the Red Devils' push for a top four spot, but his French sidekick Anthony Martial has stepped up in recent weeks and he underlined his fantastic talent with a brilliantly casual - and important - goal in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side's victory over the Hornets.

Ollie Watkins (Brentford 2-2 Blackburn)

Watkins is having the best season of his career, and the Bees' striker notched his 21st Championship goal of the season on Saturday. With Brentford's automatic promotion hopes bracing themselves for a big dent 2-0 down at home to Blackburn, Watkins started the West Londoners' comeback with a stunning volley.

Patrick Van-Aanholt (Crystal Palace 1-0 Newcastle)

The Dutch full-back doesn't score many, but when he does, they're usually something special. The Eagles' matchwinner against the Geordies dripped with quality. 

Aaron Wildig (Carlisle 2-2 Morecambe)

In a big game at the bottom of the EFL, Aaron Wildig stepped up to double his side's first half lead. Although the result didn't go Morecambe's way in the end, the goal earned a vital away point and a place in this week's 'Top Drawer'.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Arsenal 3-2 Everton)

Calvert-Lewin is thriving under Carlo Ancelotti and the forward grabbed his 12th goal in the Premier League this season in the Toffees' narrow loss at the Emirates. The 22-year-old also scored the quickest goal Arsenal have ever conceded at the Emirates in Premier League history.
