Premier League team of the weekend, with Arsenal & Man City dominating.
Here’s our Premier League team of the weekend after some scintilating action between Arsenal and Manchester United among others:
GK: Petr Cech (Arsenal)
Although Arsenal had a fairly comfortable 3-0 lead, Petr Cech needed to be at his best as Manchester United gave it their all to claw a way back in the second half, and the former Chelsea man put in a fine display to keep them out.
DR: Cedric Soares (Southampton)
Excellent for Southampton as they earned a shock win at Stamford Bridge, Cedric Soares kept Eden Hazard quiet on the Chelsea man’s left-hand side, and also got forward to good effect.
DL: Christian Fuchs (Leicester City)
With Leicester continuing their superb start to the season, Christian Fuchs put in a solid display at left-back to help the Foxes earn a hard-fought win at Norwich City.

Another win for Crystal Palace, and Scott Dann put in a fine display at centre-back to help the Eagles to a clean sheet and a good three points against West Brom.

A vastly underrated Premier League midfielder, Steven Davis capped a terrific all-round performance with a well-taken goal in Southampton’s shock 3-1 win at Chelsea.

With a goal and two assists, Kevin De Bruyne showed his immense quality as Manchester City brushed Newcastle United aside 6-1 at the Etihad Stadium,
AML: Alexis Sanchez (Arsenal)

AMC: Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)
Another player silencing his critics, Mesut Ozil turned on the style for Arsenal, setting up the first and scoring the second as he ran the show against a United side that didn’t know what had hit them.
