Now here's the team of the week
Goalkeeper - Costel
Pantilimon (Sunderland)
Costel Pantilimon's save from
Jonathan Walters at 0-0 was a real game-changer and, boy, did Sunderland need
the points. Their win against Crystal Palace last week only had real impact if
they could beat Stoke at the Stadium of Light.
Defender - Adam Smith (Bournemouth)
Came on at half-time to spark
his side’s spectacular comeback –
scoring their opener and having 27 touches in the opposition half. It was an inspired
substitution by manager Eddie Howe but not even the Bournemouth manager could
have predicted the impact the full-back would have on this game.
Defender - Chris Smalling (Manchester
United)
The only decent thing to come out of Manchester United's performance last
weekend was Chris Smalling. Manager Louis Van Gaal must be working extremely
hard in training to get a team full of such wonderful attacking flair to look
so dull. Thank goodness for Smalling who, almost single-handedly, kept Jamie
Vardy from adding to his record-breaking tally.
Defender - Kurt Zouma
(Chelsea)
He was majestic in the air
against Spurs, lightning-quick on the ground and a real threat in the opposition's
penalty area on set plays. In a season where Chelsea have been leaking goals he
certainly plugged that gap against Tottenham.
Defender -Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham)
An impressively solid
performance from the central defender who made 15 clearances and effectively
snubbed out any threat from Eden Hazard.
Midfielder - Darren Fletcher
(West Brom)
Darren Fletcher's plays calmer
this days, here is a player who, after a terrible illness, is lucky to be
playing football at all.
Midfielder - Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester
City)
De Bruyne's general
contribution that is proving so exciting for City. Since the start of last season
the Belgian currently has the most assists in Europe's top five leagues. That
tells you everything you need to know about him. A player with a great
attitude.
Midfielder - Junior Stanislas
(Bournemouth)
What a game. It seems Ross
Barkley had won it for the Toffees,but out of no where, boom, he scores an equaliser
to take the game to three all.
Midfielder - Mesut Ozil
(Arsenal)
His goal might have come from
a John Ruddy mistake in the Norwich goal, but it was then beautifully taken
advantage of by Arsenal and brilliantly executed by Mesut Ozil.
Forward - Yannick Bolasie
(Crystal Palace)
Yannick Bolasie scored twice
and could have scored an hattrick has his team defeated Newcastle by 5-1.
Bolasie is a real talent and he is having an excellent season for the Eagles.
Forward - Jamie Vardy
(Leicester City)
Well, he's only gone and
beaten Ruud van Nistelrooy's record. Whatever you think of Jamie Vardy as a
player, to score in 11 consecutive matches is an extraordinary achievement. To
perform such an heroic feat against a Manchester United side brimming with
international stars - and the team Van Nistelrooy played for when he set the
record - must have been particularly satisfying.
