Angel Di Maria, Manchester United/Argentina
After the first round of international friendlies, Di Maria is undoubtedly the top performer of anyone involved. He assisted the first three goals for Argentina before getting in on the action himself for the fourth goal in a shocking 4-2 win over Germany. Red Devil fans can rest easy that the club’s money was well-spent on this electirying playmaker.
Loic Remy, Chelsea/France
After Karim Benzema had a goal disallowed in the first half for offside, second half substitute Remy struck to sink Spain, who are still in a free-fall following the World Cup.
Mathieu Debuchy, Arsenal/France
Debuchy was one of five outfield players for France who played the entire 90 minutes against Spain in a 1-0 win. Debuchy has made the right back spot his in the national team, keeping ex-Arsenal fullback Bacary Sagna nailed to the bench.
Raheem Sterling, Liverpool/England
Sterling was by far the best player on the field for the Three Lions, who lacked both invention and energy. Sterling won the penalty that decided the game, and could have inflicted further damage on Norway when he was granted a central position as Rooney made way.
Edin Dzeko, Manchester City/Bosnia-Herzegovina
Dzeko helped Bosnia-Herzegovina to a 3-0 win over Liechtenstein, netting his 37th international goal in 66 appearances. The physical forward continues to be the face of and lead the line for his national team.
Erik Lamela, Tottenham/Argentina
Lamela has completely turned around his career in the premier league with some impressive performances in preseason and in the first few fixtures. His form with Argentina was also impressive last night, scoring the second goal and causing problems for Germany all the while.
