Pires on top in West Brom draw

03/18/2025 07:51 AM

Left-back Lucas Pires was the man of the match in last Tuesday's 1-1 home draw against West Brom and picked up points in the player ratings to ensure he came out on top overall.

He won the man of the match with 29% of the vote, ahead of Josh Cullen whose 25% won him second place. Maxime Estève took third place with 19% and Jaidon Anthony was fourth with a 16% share of the vote.

Those same four players took the top four places in the player ratings too but all in different positions. Estève was the winner with 7.26 out of ten, closely followed by Pires whose rating was 7.24. Anthony was third with 7.12 while exactly seven out of ten won Josh Cullen fourth place.

Pires won eight points towards the Up the Clarets Player of the Year with seven points for Estève, four for Cullen and three for Anthony. That's extended Estève's lead over CJ Egan-Riley to 29 points while Cullen has now gone twenty points clear in third place and Anthony has moved into seventh place, moving ahead of both Connor Roberts and Jeremy Sarmiento.

The SWANSEA VOTE closes tonight and then we have a week and a half until the next vote because of the international break.
