In the week that 16-year-old Max Dowman has captured the public's attention, 19-year-old Charalampos Kostoulas, known affectionately as 'Babis' after the late Argentine striker Gabriel Batistuta, shone brightly for Brighton in their impressive victory over Arsenal. Kostoulas has already started more Premier League games this season than he did in his first year in England, when he was a backup to Danny Welbeck. He repaid the trust of head coach Fabian Hürzeler with a stunning goal from 25 yards, marking his third goal in eight days. Hürzeler praised Kostoulas, saying, “We always knew he could score out of nowhere. He’s driven to improve every single day.” Liverpool continued their strong defensive form in their win against Bournemouth, with Ronald Araújo excelling at right-back and Jérémy Jacquet, a £60 million signing from Rennes, commanding the center-back position. This was Liverpool’s third consecutive clean sheet in the league for the first time since the start of last season, and their partnership between Jacquet and Virgil van Dijk is showing promise. Jacquet recently earned his first senior call-up to the French squad under Zinedine Zidane. Andoni Iraola, manager of Nottingham Forest, noted Jacquet’s progress, saying, “He’s adapting well to the Premier League. Initially, he was struggling physically, but he’s improving.” Manchester United faced a crucial match against Fulham, but they settled for a draw, with Matheus Cunha scoring the decisive goal. Head coach Michael Carrick expressed frustration over his team's lack of attacking sharpness, as they took 29 shots but only six were on target. Their goal required a significant deflection to beat goalkeeper Bernd Leno. Meanwhile, at Crystal Palace, James Trafford had another opportunity to impress manager Thomas Tuchel, stepping in for Dean Henderson. Trafford made a crucial save from Yéremy Pino’s free-kick and demonstrated his composure with the ball, positioning him as a strong contender for international duty alongside Jordan Pickford. In a standout performance, Brian Brobbey scored a hat-trick for Sunderland in their 5-3 loss to Manchester City, highlighting his potential as a forward. His goals were described as "poacher’s finishes," and manager Régis Le Bris praised his progress, saying, “It’s clear he’s a good striker and getting better with each game.” At Coventry, a gritty 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest brought optimism, though Frank Lampard acknowledged the challenges ahead, including facing top teams like Arsenal and Brighton. Young defender Stephen Mfuni, on loan from Manchester City, made an assured debut, though there was some debate over whether he was the player tripped by Caleb Yirenkyi in a controversial VAR decision.
