There were some incredible performances in 2024/25, with several players producing outstanding displays in a single Premier League match.
Here, football writer Alex Keble has chosen 10 of the best player performances from the season, and we want you to choose your favourite. You have until 09:00 BST on Monday 16 June to do so. The winner of the fan vote will be revealed next week.
Cole Palmer, Chelsea 4-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
Palmer made history at Stamford Bridge by becoming the first player ever to score four goals in the first half of a Premier League match.
The first was a simple finish after Nicolas Jackson squared the ball past the advancing goalkeeper, and the second was from the penalty spot.
After that, Palmer exploded into life. His 25-yard free-kick sailed magnificently into the top corner and then, in the 41st minute, he collected a through-ball from Jadon Sancho to fire in a low shot at the near post.
You're unlikely to see a more perfect half, which is why this performance just pips Palmer’s goal and three assists in Chelsea's 6-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers in August.
Mohamed Salah, Newcastle United 3-3 Liverpool
Every single time Salah received the ball at St James' Park, the Newcastle fans went quiet. Liverpool might not have won the match but this was a sensational performance that encapsulated Salah’s record-breaking season.
He set up Curtis Jones with the outside of the boot – his new trademark – before scoring twice and hitting the bar after terrorising Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall.
As a team, Liverpool had an off-day, with Newcastle scoring three times. But with Salah on the pitch, that still wasn’t enough to beat the eventual champions.
Alexander Isak, Ipswich Town 0-4 Newcastle United
In a typically ruthless performance, Isak capitalised on poor defending to score a hat-trick at Portman Road.
All three goals were classic strikers' finishes, in keeping with a player who scored 23 times in the Premier League last season, but the pick of the bunch was Isak's third: a cute toe-poke to dig out the ball and bury a half-chance.
Amad, Manchester United 3-1 Southampton
A couple of months after Ruben Amorim was appointed, Amad, redeployed as a right wing-back, was almost single-handedly driving Man Utd forward.
He accrued 11 goal involvements across a 12-match period, the peak of which was a hat-trick scored at home to Southampton.
Man Utd were on a four-game winless run in the Premier League when Saints, the bottom club, visited Old Trafford and opened the scoring. But crisis was averted when Amad took the match by the scruff of the neck and scored three goals after the 82nd minute - all from the right-hand side and all created out of nothing.
Justin Kluivert, Newcastle 1-4 AFC Bournemouth
A stunning hat-trick at St James' Park, where his dad Patrick once played, was the high point of a fantastic year for Bournemouth's Justin Kluivert, who ended the campaign with 18 Premier League goal involvements – and two hat-tricks.
His second hat-trick, against Wolverhampton Wanderers, consisted entirely of penalties. But the treble at Newcastle was phenomenal: a sharp left-footed finish for the first, a delicate pass into the corner with his right for the second, and then a thunderbolt from outside the box to complete the hat-trick.
And to cap it off, Kluivert even assisted his team's other goal, as he became one of only three players (along with Palmer and Kevin Schade) to get four goal involvements in a single Premier League match last season.
Dango Ouattara, AFC Bournemouth 5-0 Nottingham Forest
Ouattara scored only seven goals last season and three of them were in one match, when Bournemouth thumped in-form Nottingham Forest.
All three goals came in the second half, as Ouattara became one of 10 players to score a hat-trick in 2024/25. Incredibly, 30 per cent of all hat-tricks scored last season were by Bournemouth players, with Kluivert doing so twice.
Chris Wood, Nottingham Forest 7-0 Brighton & Hove Albion
In truth we could have picked any number of Forest players from their biggest win of the season – Matz Sels made five saves and Anthony Elanga produced three assists – but Wood’s hat-trick just takes it.
Three poacher’s goals – a header, a tap-in, and a penalty – were textbook Wood, clinical finishes to attacks created by the pace and crossing of Morgan Gibbs-White and Elanga.
The creative work might have been done elsewhere, but Forest’s seventh-place finish depended upon Wood’s 20 Premier League goals, most of which looked just like his three against Brighton.
Myles Lewis-Skelly, Arsenal 5-1 Manchester City
"Who are you?"
Erling Haaland’s jibe during a confrontation with Lewis-Skelly at the end of a tetchy 2-2 draw between the sides in September was answered emphatically six months later when the Arsenal teenager, still 18, scored his first senior goal in a dominant display at Emirates Stadium.
Lewis-Skelly announced himself to the world with confidence and charisma both on the ball and off it, so to speak, celebrating his strike by mimicking (perhaps mocking?) Haaland’s meditative pose.
The goal, on only Lewis-Skelly's sixth Premier League start, was the icing on the cake of an exceptional display in the dual role of left-back and central midfield.
Omar Marmoush, Manchester City 4-0 Newcastle United
In his second-ever game at the Etihad Stadium, and only his third appearance for Manchester City, January signing Marmoush burst into life with a 14-minute hat-trick completed by the 33rd minute of the match.
The first was a sensational lob over Martin Dubravka, and the next two were crisp right-footed shots that have already been established as Marmoush’s trademark finish.
It took him no time at all to adapt to English football. Marmoush could be the star of 2025/26.
Bryan Mbeumo, Brentford 4-2 Brighton & Hove Albion
No single performance better summed up Mbeumo’s brilliant season – which brought 27 goal involvements and looks set to result in a big-money move to either Man Utd or Tottenham Hotspur – than his role in the 4-2 victory over Brighton & Hove Albion in April.
He played a hand in each of the first three goals, scoring two and assisting the other, as Brentford went 3-1 up before the hour mark.
The way he took full advantage of the spaces in the Brighton defence was textbook Mbeumo: two sharp finishes and a neat pass from the right for his partner-in-crime Yoane Wissa.
