Goalkeeper
Emi Martinez (Aston Villa)
Chelsea had eight shots on target but somehow lost 2-0 to Aston Villa who had five shots in total, two on target and that is simply down to one man, Emiliano Martinez.
The World Cup winner was in inspired form, making seven saves including six from inside the box and two high claims in a game that ultimately sealed Graham Potter’s fate of unemployment.
Defender
Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United)
Newcastle beat Manchester United in one of the most completely Premier League performances of the season and a key component of that was Kieran Trippier.
The right fullback assisted the second goal for Callum Wilson, couped with five clearances and two interceptions with a game-high 83 touches.
Nayef Aguerd (West Ham United)
Moroccan defender Nayef Aguerd scored his first goal of the season for West Ham with a towering header which also turned out to be the match-winner against Southampton.
The 27-year-old also managed four clearances and two tackles including 40/48 passes completed.
Michael Keane (Everton)
In the spirit of goalscoring centre-backs, Michael Keane fired his way into the Team of the Week in rather spectacular fashion in the last game of the matchday.
Everton were a goal down, heading towards a home defeat to Tottenham when Michael Keane fired home a 90th-minute equaliser from 30 yards out to seal a 1-1 draw.
Ben Chilwell (Chelsea)
Ben Chilwell was on the losing side on Saturday against Aston Villa but was probably the only Chelsea player who could hold his head high on the night.
The English left-back provided a potent attacking threat for the Blues with 74 touches and a 90% pass accuracy including two passes.
Midfielders
John McGinn (Aston Villa)
Aston Villa only had five shots in total against Chelsea, John McGinn was responsible for two of those, both from long range one of which hit the bar in the first half and the other a stunning long-range goal in the second half to seal the 2-0 win.
The Scotsman also completed all four of his dribble attempts and put in a solid shift defensively with four tackles.
Granit Xhaka (Arsenal)
Granit Xhaka rounded off the scoring for Arsenal in a comfortable 4-1 win at home to Leeds United to cap off another solid midfield display.
The Swiss international completed 94% of his passes, including one key pass and a 100% long ball completion rate.
Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
It was the Manchester City show in the early kickoff on Saturday as the Cityzens absolutely ran through Liverpool in a 4-1 victory thanks in large portions to the brilliance of Kevin De Bruyne.
The Belgian maestro scored one and assisted another with 89 touches and five key passes.
Forwards
Riyad Mahrez (Manchester City)
Another Manchester City star who inflicted pain on Liverpool, Mahrez did not score but was one of the best players on the pitch.
The Algerian had 92 touches and played six key passes with 100% accuracy and had Andy Robertson on skates the entire match.
Jack Grealish (Manchester City)
