Premier League Team of the Week: Dalot, Eriksen and Wilson all included
With plenty of shocks and some outstanding individual performances, here is Flashscore's Premier League Team of the Week, where we've opted for a rather attacking 3-4-3.
GK - Illan Meslier (22, Leeds United)
Liverpool's disappointing season continued in miserable fashion with a 2-1 loss against Leeds at Anfield. Jesse March's side had to keep the Reds at bay for the majority of the game, with Meslier putting in a superb performance between the posts.
The Frenchman made nine saves - the most of any goalkeeper in a single Premier League game this season - and won the man of the match award as Leeds moved out of the relegation zone.
DEF - Diogo Dalot (23, Manchester United)
Dalot was outstanding for United in their 1-0 win against West Ham, continuing to show that he is one of the most improved players in the division since the 2022/23 campaign began.
The fullback was fantastic offensively and defensively, and he will be looking to take his superb form into the World Cup with the Portuguese national team.
DEF - James Tarkowski (29, Everton)
Tarkowski has formed one of the strongest defensive partnerships in the Premier League this season alongside Conor Coady (29), and the pair were solid again in Everton's 0-0 draw against Fulham.
Since arriving from Burnley in the summer transfer window, Tarkowski has helped to stabilise the Toffee's backline and restore some consistency to their performances.
DEF - Sven Botman (22, Newcastle United)
Newcastle have the best defensive record in the league this season, and that continued when they comfortably beat Aston Villa 4-0. Botman was pivotal again, impressing at the heart of defence alongside Fabian Schar (30).
The Dutchman is yet to lose for the Magpies after featuring 12 times and only conceding eight goals - showing again why he's one of the most promising defensive talents in the Premier League.
MID - Reiss Nelson (22, Arsenal)
Despite not starting, an early injury to Bukayo Saka (21) in Arsenal's 5-0 win against Nottingham Forest meant Nelson was handed a rare opportunity to show off his abilities.
The winger ended up scoring twice and providing an assist in just eight minutes as the Gunners blew away their opponents with a solid second-half performance.
MID - Moises Caicedo (20, Brighton)
The Ecuadorian midfielder only made his Premier League debut in April, but has taken no time at all to get used to the physical demands of the league.
Caicedo was fantastic again in Brighton's 4-1 victory over Chelsea, dominating the midfield and ensuring there was little time for his opponents to hold on to the ball.
MID - Christian Eriksen (30, Manchester United)
Eriksen set up the only goal in United's 1-0 win against West Ham, crossing for Marcus Rashford (25) to head home his 100th goal for the club.
His calming presence in midfield helped to keep the game under control, and his range of passing was an asset for United all afternoon as they moved up to fifth in the table.
MID - Crysencio Summerville (21, Leeds United)
Summerville netted the winning goal against Liverpool just one day before his 21st birthday as Leeds claimed a memorable victory against Jurgen Klopp's side.
An instinctive finish in the dying moments of the game caused chaos in the away end, with the winger's goal putting an end to Virgil van Dijk's (31) famous unbeaten Anfield run - which Summerville described as one of the best birthday presents ever.
ST - Leandro Trossard (27, Brighton)
Brighton finally picked up their first win under new manager Roberto de Zerbi, beating Chelsea 4-1 at the Amex Stadium. The dominant victory against former head coach Graham Potter featured two own goals and a late Pascal Gross (31) strike, but Trossard opened the scoring and was a serious threat throughout the game.
The Belgian led a relentless press from the first minute and set the tone for what turned out to be a fantastic Brighton performance.
ST - Callum Wilson (30, Newcastle United)
With England manager Gareth Southgate watching on, Wilson put on a show that makes him hard to ignore going into the Qatar World Cup.
The striker scored twice and assisted once in Newcastle's 4-0 win against Aston Villa as the Magpies continued their best start to a Premier League season in over a decade, putting the top four on notice.
ST - Kieffer Moore (30, Bournemouth)
The Welshman scored twice in Bournemouth's 3-2 defeat at the hands of Tottenham Hotspur - with the Cherries initially 2-0 up before eventually losing out to Antonio Conte's side.
It was Moore's first brace for Bournemouth, and his all-round performance warranted more than what turned out to be a disappointing loss.
