Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 16

Alisson

Well, this weekend’s Premier League action was a bit wild, wasn’t it?

Manchester United remembered they were in crisis, joining Chelsea in the pits of despair, and we’ve got new leaders at the top of the table after Arsenal’s defeat to Aston Villa saw Liverpool end the round of fixtures in the ascendancy.

Here’s 90min‘s top performers from gameweek 16.

While some clubs are complaining about their options in goal, Liverpool continue to celebrate the day they won the race for Alisson’s signature.

Two outrageous saves to deny Jefferson Lerma and Joachim Andersen single-handedly won Liverpool the points against Crystal Palace and led the Reds to the top of the Premier League table.

Sunday was a pretty good day for Fulham and Tosin Adarabioyo.

The towering centre-back was an impenetrable wall in defence but made his biggest impact in attack, where he rose highest to thump a header into the back of West Ham’s net to ramp up the pressure on David Moyes.

CB: Marcos Senesi

Marcos Senesi has faced accusations of poor discipline and focus at times since his move to England, but there was no doubting his approach to Bournemouth’s 3-0 thumping of Manchester United.

As well as scoring his side’s second goal, and his second strike this week, Senesi caught the eye by orchestrating the press which led to Bournemouth’s opening goal. A real high IQ performance.

CB: Diego Carlos

Diego Carlos has had a pretty decent week, pocketing Erling Haaland before helping to hand Arsenal a huge defeat which leaves Aston Villa just two points off the top of the Premier League table after 16 games.

No player made more than his six clearances, but it was his stop off the line which ultimately proved crucial to Villa’s victory.

Dropping back out to the wing this week, Son Heung-min delivered another sensational performance as he bagged a goal and two assists in Tottenham‘s 4-1 drubbing of Newcastle United on Sunday.

Son has now made it eight straight seasons with at least ten Premier League goals, a feat only achieved by six other players – including his BFF Harry Kane.
