Tottenham duo dazzle in latest Premier League Team of the Week

 

Gameweek two was a record breaker in the Premier League as 44 goals were scored across all 10 matches. It's been another exciting round of games in England's top tier as title contenders Liverpool and Manchester City put another three points on the board while Chelsea and Manchester United fell to defeats. Everton and Tottenham, meanwhile, both secured 5-2 wins and boast five players between them in this best XI.

 

Here, we take a look at a Premier League team of the week featuring two perfect 10s... 

 

Alisson (Liverpool) - 8.21 

 

Liverpool were one of three teams to keep a clean sheet in a Premier League this week and that was due to Alisson between the sticks. The Brazilian saved a second half Jorginho penalty, that one of three saves in the Reds' 2-0 win at Chelsea, to make the team of the week with a WhoScored rating of 8.21. 

 

Adama Traore (Wolves) - 7.64 

 

Adama Traore started Wolves' 2-0 win at Sheffield United at right wing-back before being moved to right-back for their 3-1 loss to Manchester City on Monday night. Despite defeat, the Spaniard impressed as his WhoScored rating of 7.64 suggests. Indeed, Traore was unlucky not to register an assist as he created three goalscoring chances and broke forward well, as is to be expected, as he completed seven dribbles for the second game running.


Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa) - 8.54 

 

The first of two Aston Villa representatives on the back of their 1-0 win over Sheffield United, Ezri Konsa scored his second Premier League goal in his last four league outings with the winning goal on the hour mark against the Blades as Villa got their season off to a winning start. At the other end of the pitch, Konsa excelled to make four clearances and win seven aerial duels to return a WhoScored rating of 8.54. 

 

Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa) - 8.08 

 

Celebrating his new contract with a clean sheet, Tyrone Mings partners Konsa at the heart of the defence in the Premier League team of the week. The England international provided the assist for his compatriot's goal, that coming from his only key pass in the win over Sheffield United, while 10 aerial duels won contributed to Mings' inclusion in this XI with a WhoScored rating of 8.08. 

 

Lucas Digne (Everton) - 7.25 

 

Rounding off the backline is the first of three Everton players to feature in the team. Lucas Digne followed up his fine performance in the Toffees' 1-0 win at Tottenham with a solid showing in a 5-2 thumping of West Brom. The Frenchman was unfortunate not to notch his second assist of the campaign against the Baggies as he made five key passes from left-back to help yield a WhoScored rating of 7.25. 

 

James Rodriguez (Everton) - 8.91 

 

After a fine debut showing against Tottenham, James Rodriguez was exceptional against the Baggies as he provided his first assist for his new team and bagged his first goal for Carlo Ancelotti's side. Those came from respective returns of two key passes and one shot as the Colombian garnered a WhoScored rating of 8.91. 

 

Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City) - 9.09 

 

Putting in a man of the match display on his first game of the season, Kevin De Bruyne was exceptional in Manchester City's 3-1 win over Wolves as he returned a WhoScored rating of 9.09. The Belgian put City ahead from the spot midway through the first half and turned provider for the 44th goal of the gameweek as he teed up Gabriel Jesus to wrap up the win deep into second half injury time. His assist was from one of six key passes, a record in a Premier League match this season, as De Bruyne continues where he left off in 2019/20.

Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa (Fulham) - 8.66 

 

Fulham may have lost 4-3 to Leeds in a thrilling encounter at Elland Road, but Cottagers midfielder Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa did enough to land the WhoScored man of the match gong. Anguissa provided the assist for Bobby Reid's goal on the hour mark, that coming from one of three key passes, and drove forward from midfield impressively as he completed eight dribbles, that the second best return in a Premier League match this season, as he makes the team with a WhoScored rating of 8.66. 

 

Son Heung-Min (Tottenham) - 10.0 

 

The first of two Tottenham players to make the team, both of whom earned a perfect 10, as the north London side landed a 5-2 win at Southampton. Son Heung-Min scored four of those, bagging his first Premier League hat-trick in the process, as he hit the back of the net with all four shots at St. Mary's. Two key passes and one successful dribble capped a fine afternoon for the South Korean. 

 

Harry Kane (Tottenham) - 10.0 

 

The Premier League player of the week, edging out Son for the award, Harry Kane had a direct hand in all five goals in Tottenham's 5-2 win at Southampton, becoming the first player since Mohamed Salah in Liverpool's 5-0 win over Watford in March 2018 to achieve the feat, providing the assist for all four of Son's goals. Kane's four assists came from four key passes and his goal from one of two shots as the striker played a blinder on the south coast. 

 

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton) - 9.92 

 

Dominic Calvert-Lewin has started the season excellently with his hat-trick against West Brom taking his tally to four goals for the campaign. The Everton star hit the back of the net with three of six shots at Goodison Park and gave the West Brom backline a torrid time as he won four aerial duels to complete the team of the week with a WhoScored ratin of 9.92.
