Premier League hotlist: Pulisic, Greenwood, Salah among stars to shine since restart

The Premier League is now halfway to completing 'Project Restart' after overcoming weeks of uncertainty to get competitive football off the ground again following the COVID-19 shutdown in March.

It has still not been a case of 'normal service resumed' due to games being played behind closed doors, increased substitutions and time-out style drinks breaks in each half. But while it has been a different kind of experience, some players have grasped the opportunity to shine and there have been some spectacular performances and form streaks.

ESPN has identified the hottest post-shutdown stars in the Premier League and why they have emerged from the break in such stunning form.
