Here's the Premier League's outstanding players from the weekend, and the football boots they wore. Not surprisingly, there are a few Tottenham players, but then they did have four players change their boots with devastating effect...
|
JERMAIN DEFOE
adidas F50i football boots
The weekend's star performer. Jermain netted an incredible five second half goals, as Tottenham thrashed Wigan 9-1! Defoe had been due to wear the Macaw Green adidas F50i football boots, but at the last minute changed into the silver/red boots. It'll be interesting to see if Defoe stick with the same boots, for his next match.

MICHAEL ESSIEN
Nike T90 Laser II football boots
Essien is undoubtedly one of the best midfielders in the world. And although he's not a regular goal scorer, his contribution to the team is invaluable. But there is no denying he has the ability to strike a great shot from his T90 Laser football boots, as he proved with two goals on the weekend.

TOM HUDDLESTONE
Nike CTR360 Maestri football boots
The Nike CTR360 football boots offer total ball control, and that was certainly the case for Tottenham midfielder Tom Huddlestone. Controlling the Tottenham midfield, Huddlestone changed into the CTR360 Maestri's for the first time and had a great game. Keep up performances like this and Huddlestone could find himself in the England squad for 2010.

STILIAN PETROV
adidas Predator X football boots
Petrov is a Predator convert after previously wearing the Nike T90 Laser football boots. And as he only managed to score two goals last season, it will be interesting to see how many goals Petrov can score wearing the new adidas power football boots.

WILSON PALACIOS
Nike Legend III football boots
Palacios is back in Nike football boots after briefly wearing Umbro Speciali football boots, although he has opted for the Legend III boots instead of the Lasers he has previously worn. Palacios is an all action midfielder who never stops running, so he has gone for a comfortable kangaroo leather boot, which offers great ball touch and feel.

JIMMY BULLARD
adidas adiPure II football boots
Bullard was one of the weekend's outstanding performers, and it seems that whether Bullard can stay fit, will determine whether Hull stay up of go down. A huge influence on his team mates, Bullard smashed his penalty home to give Hull a 3-2 lead, wearing the red adiPure II football boots.

|
DAVID BENTLEY
Nike Legend III football boots
So far this season David Bentley has worn Puma v1.08 and adidas adiPure II, but playing against Wigan Bentley switched into the Nike Legend III football boots like team mate Palacios. And Bentley struck a great freekick that cannoned off the crossbar and the back of Chris Kirkland to score Tottenham's eighth goal!

|
KAMIL ZAYATTE
adidas Predator X football boots
Zayatte is another player who has decided to wear the new adidas Predator X football boots, which is a testament of the boots performance attributes, as Zayatte has worn Nike football boots for the majority of his career. Zayatte scored a rare goal for Hull as they came back for 2-0 down against West Ham.

|
STEPHEN IRELAND
Nike Vapor Superfly football boots
Stephen Ireland reminded boss Mark Hughes why he should be a first team regular, as he broke forward to score a goal against Liverpool. The Man City midfielder is one of the hardest working players in the Premier League, and although he changes his boots quite often her currently seems satisfied with the Vapor Superfly football boots.
