Another Arsenal player features with the club’s summer signing Alexis Sanchez showing that he can do a lot more for the Gunners than simply scoring goals to decide games.

Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea was superb in terms of the number of saves he made against Liverpool. United won the game 3-0 and the Spaniard made the score line look more impressive for his team.
Accurate Passes
| Position | Team | Accurate Pass | Appearances | Mins Played | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheick Tioté | MF | Newcastle | 74 | 1 | 90 |
| Marouane Fellaini | MF | Man Utd | 61 | 1 | 90 |
| Carlos Sánchez | MF | Aston Villa | 61 | 1 | 78 |

It’s a shame that more Newcastle players weren’t on the same wavelength as Tiote, who was the most accurate player in terms of passes. Louis van Gaal will be delighted to see Fellaini on the list, with the Belgian continuing his impressive recent form for the Old Trafford side.
