Garth Crooks’ team of the week: Brighton, Huddersfield & Man City prominent


There were some superb displays in the Premier League this weekend as 34 goals were scored over the 10 fixtures.

Seven came at Goodison Park, where Mesut Ozil and Alexis Sanchez returned to form for Arsenal to inflict more woe on Everton and their manager Ronald Koeman, while Harry Kane was on the scoresheet again as Tottenham took advantage of some dire Liverpool defending to win at Wembley.

Arguably, the performance of the weekend came at the John Smith’s Stadium, where goals from Aaron Mooy and Laurent Depoitre gave Huddersfield a first victory over Manchester United in 65 years that ended the Red Devils’ unbeaten start to the season.

Sergio Aguero equalled Manchester City’s all-time goalscoring record as they beat Burnley to go five points clear at the top of the table, while Chelsea came from behind to beat Watford thanks to late goals from Cesar Azpilicueta and Michy Batshuayi.

Elsewhere, Crystal Palace fell to a late defeat at Newcastle, Stoke went down 2-1 at home to Bournemouth and Michael Appleton got off to a winning start as Leicester caretaker boss courtesy of a victory over Swansea.

Sofiane Boufal gave Southampton a win over West Brom, during three days of top-flight action that began with Brighton’s excellent 3-0 victory at West Ham on Friday night.

You can see the thinking behind my team below but, first, have a go at picking your own team of the week.
