The Premier League season has concluded, and Guardian football writers have shared their standout performers and moments from the campaign. Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya received widespread praise for his role in the club’s title triumph, winning the Golden Glove for the third consecutive year with 19 clean sheets. Declan Rice and Bruno Fernandes were also highlighted as exceptional outfield players.
Several writers lauded Fernandes for his consistency and flair at Manchester United, with one noting he has been the club’s best player for six and a half years. Rice was commended for his energy, determination, and set-piece delivery, becoming the heartbeat of Arsenal’s title charge. Antoine Semenyo was recognised for scoring 21 goals, including the FA Cup winner, while Jérémy Doku was praised for his improved output and relentless threat on the wing.
Other notable mentions included Gabriel Magalhães, whose late winner at Newcastle was seen as a pivotal moment, and Enzo Le Fée, whose technical skill and tenacity impressed at Sunderland. Bournemouth’s Andoni Iraola was tipped for future success after influencing the title race.
