Brentford defender Michael Kayode is our Premier League Player of the Week following his excellent display in the Bees' 4-3 win over Manchester United.

The 20-year-old Italian proved to be a real handful as Brentford edged a high-scoring encounter, earning himself an 8.5 Flashscore player rating.

A determined shift at right-back allowed Kayode to showcase his on-ball abilities as he completed five dribbles, while also winning eight of the duels he contested.

Kayode contributed to Brentford's fourth goal, squaring unselfishly for Yoane Wissa to slot home after being set away on goal.

It was Brentford's third straight win in the Premier League as they continue a late-season surge to try and snag a European place next season.

Thomas Frank's side will look to keep the momentum going when they travel to relegated Ipswich on Saturday.
