Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain return to haunt their former club Southampton. Swipe left/right on your browser to see who else made Richard Jolly’s team of the week.
Goalkeeper: Willy Caballero (Manchester City)
Made a vital save to deny James Tomkins before City scored any of their three goals at Selhurst Park. A decent comeback.
Right-back: Pedro (Chelsea)
Used out of position as a wing-back against Brentford, he adjusted well to score one goal, set up another and excel in a 4-0 victory.
Centre-back: Chris Smalling (Manchester United)
Scored the vital second goal against Wigan Athletic to kill off the Championship side. Helped United keep another clean sheet, too.
Centre-back: Wes Morgan (Leicester City)
The captain stopped Leicester’s sorry season from getting worse with a late equaliser to prevent local rivals Derby County from knocking them out.
Left-back: Ben Gibson (Middlesbrough)
Boro were expected to see off Accrington Stanley, but Gibson helped, both in keeping a clean sheet and in his attacking efforts when he pushed forward.
Right midfield: Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Came back from injury and returned to his old club Southampton in style with a hat-trick to take his tally to 99 Arsenal goals.
Centre midfield: Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Arsenal)
Another to flourish in a reunion, the old Southampton player produced some wonderful passing to suggest his future should lie in the middle of midfield.
Centre midfield: Steven Defour (Burnley)
Seasoned Burnley watchers felt his delightful, delectable chip against Bristol City was one of the best Burnley goals they had seen.
Left midfield: Danny Welbeck (Arsenal)
Made the most of a belated first start of the season with two superbly taken goals to set Arsenal on their way to a 5-0 win.
Striker: Gabriel Jesus (Manchester City)
Did not get the goal he deserved, but a wonderful pass to Raheem Sterling enabled City to get the opener in their win at Crystal Palace.
Striker: Son Heung-min (Tottenham Hotspur)
Started the Spurs fightback against Wycombe Wanderers and completed it with the 98th-minute winner to spare Mauricio Pochettino’s side embarrassment.
