Premier League team of the week 06/09: Aguero, Vardy, and Abraham among the goals

The young Englishman kept Manchester United at bay and helped his side to a hard-earned point with seven saves in the 90 minutes.

The right-back attempted, and won, more tackles than anyone during the fixture, as he continued his seamless transition into the Manchester Utd line-up.

Not only did the towering centre-back make five vital interceptions, but he scored the all-important equaliser for Southampton just before the hour.

The Dutchman won 10 out of 11 aerial duels up against the likes of Ashley Barnes and Chris Wood, as well as 11 clearances.

The 25-year-old was energetic and effective on the touchline, providing width for the team and ammunition for the strikers, which paid off when he assisted the opening goal for Sebastian Haller.

The Manchester City conductor opened up the Brighton defence time and time against during the 4-0 victory for the champions on Saturday. The visitors simply could not handle his passing round the corners, while Kevin De Bruyne and Sergio Aguero both benefited from an assist each from their captain.

The midfield maverick opened the scoring with a smart finish, and also claimed his customary assist for Sergio Aguero. The decisive first goal allowed City to go on and dominate.

The Brazilian netted the opener at Goodison park with a bouncing strike into the roof of the net after some poor defending from the visitors, and netted the winner, too, glancing a lovely header into the bottom corner.

The young Englishman is starting to find his feet at the top level, and scored twice for Chelsea on the day with two smart finishes.

The Argentine forward contributed two goals and an assist as Manchester City put Brighton to the sword with an emphatic 4-0 victory on Saturday. Both strikes were also of the highest quality.

Jamie Vardy was in typical effervescent form against Bournemouth as he registered two goals and an assist versus the Cherries.
