Five talking points from the weekend's Premier League matches

Did we just witness the birth of a new star in Manchester?

Adnan Januzaj was given his first Premier League start ahead of the likes of Valencia, Kagawa and Young and he grabbed the opportunity with both hands. The Belgian scored a brace and completed the comeback against Sunderland on Saturday. The second of his goals was a sumptuous volley that was a reminiscent of a certain Van Persie’s strike last year.

Before Sir Alex Ferguson left, he gave him a squad number and was full of praise for the Belgian teenage sensation and said “Adnan is a very good technical player” and that he had “good balance and acceleration.” The man from Brussels showed every bit of that technical prowess with that second goal and Moyes would be well to tie him down on a long term contract before long. Is Januzaj the latest in a long line of gifted United wingers, only time will tell.

Are Suarez and Sturridge the best strike partnership in England right now?

Liverpool have had a long line of famous strike partnerships and if Suarez and Sturridge keep up their current form, it looks as if they’ll join that list before too long. Sturridge was the man who got them the goals early on in the season and when Suarez finally came back, it looked as though the Englishman would be relegated to the sidelines. Instead, the duo between them, have already managed to strike up an instant rapport.

In the two games since Suarez’s return, the duo have already combined for a total of five goals and two assists between them and that number is only going to increase. What is striking about this partnership is that both players are scoring and creating in equal amounts, which is a refreshing change and one that bodes well for Liverpool’s season.
