Premier League team of the weekend - by Jason Burt

Manchester City were not at their best but were good enough to beat Manchester United away, the first time United have lost at home in 41 matches… since City last beat them.

So much was rightly made last weekend of the brilliance of David De Gea so it was ironic that it was City’s Ederson who made a De Gea-like double-save to preserve the victory.

The Brazilian is an outfield player with gloves and has made such an incredible difference to City this season.

Here's my team of the week, in a 4-4-2 formation:

Ederson, goalkeeper

The Brazilian is phenomenal with the ball at his feet and is also a fine goalkeeker, making an incredible double-save to secure Manchester City’s win away to Manchester United.

Jonjoe Kenny, right back

The 20-year-old from Kirkdale was Everton’s most impressive defender in the 1-1 draw away to Liverpool. Was offered little protection by Wayne Rooney ahead of him but coped well.

Nicolas Otamendi, centre back

The Argentinean has been much-maligned at Manchester City but has stepped up this season and was his team’s senior defender, especially when Vincent Kompany went off injured. Forced one goal and scored another.

Alfie Mawson, centre back

It has been a difficult season for Mawson who was so outstanding in the second-half of the last campaign as Swansea saved themselves. He contained the threat West Brom’s Salomon Rondon posed, helped keep a clean sheet and earned a vital win.

Arthur Masuaku, left back

The left wing-back has found his best role at West Ham and was the pick of the bunch in the win over Chelsea. He also gave his team much-needed respite with his ability to run with the ball.

Heung-Min Son, right midfield

The Korean has become a more robust and positive player and showed that in Tottenham’s win over Stoke as he forced the opening goal, an own-goal, before claiming a brilliant strike in the rout. Got a standing ovation as he went off.

Johann Gudmundsson, centre midfield

The Icelandic winger has been one of the unsung heroes of Burnley’s outstanding season so far, but his energy and positive approach has been key to their success and was again in the win over Watford.

David Silva, centre midfield

The Spaniard is a Rolls-Royce of a player and was outstanding again in Manchester City’s derby win away to United. He scored, he controlled the game. He was competitive and played in a couple of positions. Brilliant.

Demarai Gray, left midfield

The winger is becoming a fixture in the ‘team of the weekend’ and has seized the chance given to him by new Leicester City manager Claude Puel. Scored and was a constant threat in the win away to Newcastle United.

Jermain Defoe, forward

Two predatory goals from the veteran striker again showed how he can still perform in the Premier League. His contribution, especially his smartly taken second goal, was overshadowed in Bournemouth’s 2-2 draw away to Crystal Palace by Christian Benteke’s penalty miss.

Steve Mounie, forward

The French striker started the season strongly, got injured, had a dip in form but scored both goals as Huddersfield Town defeated Brighton – who lack a striker such as Mounie. He would appear their best chance of scoring the goals to stay up.
