Premier League Team of the Week: Doku features as Man City dominate

It's time to delve back into who makes the Team of the Week using our dedicated Flashscore player rating system!

GK: Alphonse Areola, 8.8 (West Ham)

He may have been on the wrong end of the scoreline against Manchester City, but West Ham's Alphonse Areola is the gameweek's best-performing goalkeeper - and player in fact with an 8.8 rating.

The Frenchman made a huge 10 saves in the 3-1 defeat at the London Stadium - eight of which came inside the box - as he did his best to keep his side in the game.

DEF: Rodri, 8.3 (Manchester City)

One of four City players to feature this week, Rodri was immaculate in the win over West Ham as he continues to shine for Pep Guardiola.

The 27-year-old completed a whopping 113 of 116 passes for 97 per cent accuracy and created four chances for his teammates - two of which were key.

DEF: Lucas Digne, 8.0 (Aston Villa)

It was the late show for Aston Villa as they earned an exhilarating 3-1 win against Crystal Palace and Lucas Digne certainly played his part in the Villans' turnaround.

Digne claimed the assist with a cross for Jhon Duran's superb equaliser which started the fightback at Villa Park.

He also registered 115 touches of the ball to underpin his involvement in the match - a figure which only trailed teammate Pau Torres (132).

DEF: Andy Robertson, 8.0 (Liverpool)

Andy Robertson struck as Liverpool continued their unbeaten start to the campaign with a 3-1 win at Wolves after falling behind early.

The Scotland international, who captained the Reds at Molineux, was instrumental after he instinctively poked home his effort to give his side the lead.

He ended the match with a pass accuracy of 92 per cent and two chances created.

MID: Dejan Kulusevski, 8.7 (Tottenham)

A breathtaking Tottenham comeback against Sheffield United was capped off by Dejan Kulusevski, who struck a dramatic winner in the 10th minute of second-half stoppage time.

He fired a right-footed effort into the top-left corner to ensure the latest comeback in Premier League history and preserve Spurs' unbeaten start.

The Swede was heavily involved throughout, though, registering a game-high seven shots and creating five chances.

MID: James Maddison, 7.9 (Tottenham)

Like teammate Kulusevski, James Maddison had plenty of involvement against Sheffield United as he continues to orchestrate for Spurs.

It was an all-action display from the 26-year-old, who created four chances, won nine of 13 ground duels and made two tackles in a pulsating encounter at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

MID: Douglas Luiz, 8.2 (Aston Villa)

Douglas Luiz was as combative as usual in the Villa midfield as his rounded performance played a role in his side's win over Palace.

The Brazilian won 10 ground duels, made six tackles and crucially and confidently converted his penalty in stoppage time to put Villa in the lead.

MID: Bernardo Silva, 8.6 (Manchester City)

Bernardo Silva ran the show from midfield for Man City against West Ham and his deft dinked finish over Areola put the visitors in control.

He also fed through Erling Haaland, who converted the insurance goal to give City some breathing room. A silky midfield display as usual from the Portuguese.

MID: Jeremy Doku, 8.5 (Manchester City)

Jeremy Doku was another City player that sparkled at West Ham and he showed exactly why he will be one to watch this season.

The Belgium international got the comeback going early in the second half with a cool finish after a menacing run at the Hammers' defence.

Alongside netting his first goal for the club, he created three chances and attempted eight dribbles.

FWD: Mohamed Salah, 8.7 (Liverpool)

With yet another productive display this term, Mohamed Salah recorded two assists as Liverpool came back to beat Wolves - and he hit some more milestones in the process.

The Egyptian has now been directly involved in 200 goals in the top flight for Liverpool and became the first player from the Reds to assist in five consecutive away games.

FWD: Julian Alvarez, 8.3 (Manchester City)

Completing the side this week is Julian Alvarez, who is the fourth City player to make the cut.

The Argentine has been in excellent form of late and he backed up that statement with another handy performance at West Ham.

He recorded two assists, first finding Doku to score the equaliser before cheekily scooping a pass over to Silva, who chipped in the go-ahead tally.
