Now let us take a look who impressed and made it into Matchweek 9’s Dream team of the week by
VBet Fantasy Football.
Kasper Schmeichel – (Leicester)
Danish and Leicester shot stopper Schmeichel delivered a solid performance in goal to see off the threat of Cardiff, earning an important win and a clean sheet, as tributes to the chairman Vichai Srivaddhanaprabha rang around the Premier League.
Benjamin Chilwell –(Leicester)
Chilwell played a vital part in Leicester City’s 1-0 at Cardiff City, providing the cross from the by-line into Demari Gray who netted from 12 yards for the only goal of the game. The first clean sheet Chilwell has been involved in this season.
Seamus Coleman- (Everton)
The Everton skipper picked up the ball just outside the Brighton box and smashed a low driven shot inside the far post to get his name on the scoresheet and cap of a fine performance at Goodison Park.
James Milner (Liverpool)
James Milner was the man who scored Liverpool’s goal in their 1-1 draw with Arsenal on Saturday and, according to Jürgen Klopp, it was also the midfielder who offered some stern words to fire up his team at half-time.
Lewis Dunk (Brighton)
Everton opened the scoring on 26 minutes when Gylfi Sigurdsson teed up Richarlison, who struck a left-foot shot into the Seagulls' net. Seven minutes later Brighton equalised when Lewis Dunk headed in Solly March's cross from the left. Dunk scored his first goal of the season in the 3-1 defeat at Everton but made a mistake for the Toffees' third goal.
Felipe Anderson (West Ham)
West Ham’s record signing Felipe Anderson delivered a stellar performance against Burnley. The Brazilian midfielder scored two goals, helping Manuel Pellegrini’s side to a 4-2 victory over Burnley.
Leroy Sane (Manchester City)
Sane dazzled the Southampton defence who just could not keep a lid on the German winger. He provided two assists for his City teammates and scored a late goal to cap of a fine individual and team display from The Citizens.
David Silva (Manchester City)
Silva struck a sumptuous volley for City’s third and had his merry way in the middle of the park and in the final third against an overmatched Southampton side.
Lucas Moura (Tottenham)
Moura needed a bounce-back performance after struggling against City and delivered in spades. It was a fantastic header to put Tottenham two goals ahead, and ultimately a vital one in what was an absorbing 3-2 contest in favour of Spurs against Wolverhampton. He created four chances in the contest and after losing some of his consistency, he’ll want to build off this with big matches to come.
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City)
Sterling was simply unplayable this weekend. He bagged two goals for himself and was the catalyst for two more in City’ triumphant 6-1 rout at The Etihad.
Sergio Aguero (Manchester City)
Aguero managed to set up his teammates on two occasions and net a goal for himself in The Citizen’s 6-1 demolition of Southampton. That’s seven goals in the Premier League so far this season for Aguero, picking up six assists in the process.
