Bruno Fernandes and Mohamed Salah star in openers - Premier League team of the week

Plenty of big scores as Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United record big wins

Goalkeeper: Kasper Schmeichel (Leicester) – Started the season as he means to carry on with a clean sheet to keep Wolves out and enabled Leicester to pick up three points.

Right-back: Japhet Tanganga (Tottenham) – Forceful and physical, he stuck to Raheem Sterling and Jack Grealish in a superb display to help inspire Spurs to victory against the champions.

Centre-back: Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea) – A surprise selection for the Super Cup, he marked his Premier League debut with more resilient defending and a lovely goal that had him in tears.

Centre-back: Ethan Pinnock (Brentford) – The former Dulwich Hamlet defender completed his journey from non-league to Premier League by shutting Arsenal out.

Left-back: Aaron Cresswell (West Ham) – Inspired West Ham’s four-goal comeback at St James’ Park, turning the tide of the game by overlapping to score the equaliser.

Right midfield: Sergi Canos (Brentford) – Got the honour of scoring Brentford’s first top-flight goal since 1947 with a fine goal to cap a bold display at wing-back.

Centre midfield: Abdoulaye Doucoure (Everton) – A thunderous strike helped Rafa Benitez get a much-needed debut win. Doucoure helped Everton overpower Southampton.

Centre midfield: Bruno Fernandes (Manchester United) – A glorious hat-trick, with his half-volley to complete his treble the pick. Fernandes excelled at running into the Leeds box.

Left midfield: Paul Pogba (Manchester United) – Just the seventh player to get four assists in a Premier League game. His exquisite pass for Mason Greenwood’s goal could be the ball of the season.

Centre forward: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – A record-breaker, as the first player to score on the opening weekend for five successive seasons, and he also got two assists.

Centre forward: Emmanuel Dennis (Watford) – A brilliant debut. The Nigerian scored and helped run Aston Villa ragged as Watford surged into a 3-0 lead on their return to the division.
