Wow, what a weekend of Premier League football that was.
Spread across three days because of the coronation of King Charles III, we saw goals galore, upsets and some huge results that could have huge ramifications for the title race, Champions League qualification and battle to beat their drop.
There were some superb individual performances but also some absolute rotters, though it’s the former who will garner the spotlight here as 90min spins you through the team of the week for Gameweek 35.
GK: Aaron Ramsdale
Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Newcastle at St James’ Park was absolutely huge for the club’s Premier League title ambitions.
They were the better team in the North East, despite Eddie Howe questioning some of the time wasting tactics on show, but still needed a top drawer performance from Aaron Ramsdale in goal. When his side needed him to deliver, the 24-year-old made some wonderful saves, most notably keeping out Fabian Schar’s header from point-blank range.

Okay, so Pedro Porro at right-back isn’t really a match made in heaven. But for the purposes of 90min’s team of the week formation, and the fact the Spaniard put in one of his best performances in Spurs colours, he bags a spot in the back four.
What made Porro’s display so good? He was a constant threat to Crystal Palace’s backline, running at their defence with pace, and his delivery from set pieces was exquisite more often than not. Couple those two points with an assist for Harry Kane’s 209th Premier League goal and it’s case closed.

CB: Craig Dawson
Wolves’ resurgence under the management of Julen Lopetegui has been nothing short of remarkable.
They have picked up regular points at home and are now assured of their place in the Premier League next season – where earning a place back in the top half of the table will surely be the ambition. Against in-form Aston Villa on Saturday, one player stood head and shoulders above the rest in defence; January signing Craig Dawson.
Time and again he put is body on the line, in a performance that was reminiscent of his very best days at West Ham.
