Wolves and Nottingham Forest stars earn highest ratings in Premier League team of the week

Matheus Cunha’s stoppage time equaliser for Wolverhampton Wanderers in the 2-2 draw away at Brighton & Hove Albion was enough to earn a place in the latest Premier League team of the week.

The Brazilian attacker scored the vital goal to secure Wolves their second point of the 2024/25 season in dramatic fashion. No other Wanderers players have made it in the elite XI this week but Cunha’s 8.4 WhoScored rating couldn’t be bettered by anyone else in the top flight.

Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood and Manchester United midfielder Casemiro were the other two stars to earn an 8.4 out of 10 over the weekend. Wood scored twice for Forest in a spirited 3-1 win away at Leicester City, while Casemiro netted United’s only goal in the 2-1 defeat at West Ham United.

Chelsea winger Pedro Neto was another standout player this week as the former Wolves man earned an 8.3 rating for being one of the Blues’ main danger men in the 2-1 win over Newcastle United. The Portuguese assisted Nicolas Jackson’s opening goal in that fixture.

Manchester City’s wizzkid Savinho was another to secure an 8.3 rating as the Brazilian completed an impressive six dribbles in the 1-0 win against Southampton. City’s number 26 also created five chances in that match, several of which were for match-winner Erling Haaland.
