There were plenty of tricks and treats in the Premier League this weekend as we were spoiled by more great football right before Halloween.

Using the Flashscore player rating system, it's time to take a look at who makes our latest Team of the Week.

GK: Bernd Leno, 7.7 (Fulham)

They had to withstand a lot of pressure, but Fulham held out to earn a very good point at Brighton with a 1-1 draw.

Bernd Leno stifled the Seagulls on a number of occasions making five saves, with his best coming against Carlos Baleba and Simon Adingra.

DEF: Rodri, 8.3 (Manchester City)

Manchester City's metronome Rodri did not put a foot wrong as Pep Guardiola's side turned on the style to earn derby bragging rights with a 3-0 win over Manchester United.

The Spaniard, unsurprisingly, completed the most passes in the match with 80, won 10 of his 11 duels and crucially earned the penalty which was converted by Erling Haaland.

DEF: Fabian Schar, 8.0 (Newcastle)

A tricky evening visit to Wolves saw Newcastle head back to Tyneside with a well-fought point, but it was a match that could have swung either way.

Fabian Schar was right in the thick of things, winning his side a penalty in controversial circumstances when he was adjudged to have been fouled by Hwang Hee-chan.

Away from that, he was extremely resolute at the back making four clearances and making two interceptions, as well as completing a match-high 84 passes.

DEF: Ethan Pinnock, 8.4 (Brentford)

Making a huge impact in both boxes, Ethan Pinnock was superb as Brentford earned a third straight away victory at Chelsea.

Alongside making eight clearances in the Stamford Bridge clean sheet, he came up with the goods at the other end with a powerful header to open the scoring.

MID: Bernardo Silva, 8.8 (Manchester City)

He just seems to love the derby! Bernardo Silva was the best player on the pitch at Old Trafford as he continued his torment of United.

United could not get close to him as he created three big chances, which included the cross for Haaland's towering header for City's second goal.

MID: Joao Palhinha, 8.8 (Fulham)

Fulham's aforementioned point at Brighton was gained via a stunning strike from their midfield maestro Joao Palhinha.

The Portuguese picked up the ball on the edge of the box and curled a beautiful effort right into the corner. 

He also made a huge 10 tackles in the draw - the highest total in a Premier League game so far this season.

MID: Dominik Szoboszlai, 8.9 (Liverpool)

With a Flashscore rating of 8.9, Dominik Szoboszlai is the highest-rated player in this week's team following his silky display in Liverpool's 3-0 win over Nottingham Forest.

The Hungary international was at the centre of it for the Reds notching two assists, first cutting back for Darwin Nunez to score the opener before his long ball was dispatched by Mohamed Salah after some woeful goalkeeping.

Szoboszlai created a match-high four chances in total and registered 106 touches and 12 recoveries.

MID: Bryan Mbeumo, 8.0 (Brentford)

Bryan Mbeumo is the second Brentford player to make the side and it is well-deserved given how sharp he looked against Chelsea.

The 24-year-old was a menace going forward, first his excellent cross finding Pinnock for the opener before delivering the final blow to score a counter-attack with Robert Sanchez out of goal.

FWD: Eddie Nketiah, 8.8 (Arsenal)

No Gabriel Jesus? No problem for Arsenal against Sheffield United as Eddie Nketiah stepped up to fire his first league hat-trick in a 5-0 demolition job for the Gunners.

Nketiah got the scoring underway with a cool finish after getting away from a defender to set the tone for what would be a glorious afternoon for Mikel Arteta's team.

He added his second with another high-quality finish before capping his treble in style with a wicked thunderbolt from distance.

FWD: Erling Haaland, 8.5 (Manchester City)

Erling Haaland appears to have shaken off any lingering doubt about his recent performances with a productive display against United.

Two goals and an assist in the derby have taken his total contributions up to eight in the fixture, with now only three players managing more in the Premier League.

FWD: Dominic Calvert-Lewin, 8.1 (Everton)

It has been a tough couple of seasons for injury-hit Dominic Calvert-Lewin, but the Everton striker appears to have got himself back in stride.

The 26-year-old is continuing to clock up the minutes and he was rewarded by scoring the lone goal in the Toffees' gritty 1-0 win at West Ham.

It was a goal of real quality too, shimmying past two defenders before confidently driving his effort into the bottom corner.
