Premier League team of the week: Mohamed Salah, Mason Mount and Josh King all impress

A stunning round of fixtures that saw some big shocks

Left-back: Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) – Chelsea’s unlikely goal machine scored again with a crisp strike in the 7-0 demolition of Norwich. Chilwell is in great form. AFP

Right midfield: Mason Mount (Chelsea) – Had not scored in his previous 24 games but then delivered his first Chelsea hat-trick. His first was taken beautifully and opened the floodgates. Getty

Centre midfield: Naby Keita (Liverpool) – Produced perhaps his best performance for Liverpool, until being stretchered off. Scored their first goal and made their third. EPA

Centre midfield: Bernardo Silva (Manchester City) – Continued his remarkable run of form as he and Phil Foden flourished to eviscerate Brighton in a 4-1 win. AP

Left midfield: Emile Smith Rowe (Arsenal) – Aston Villa tried to sign Smith Rowe in the summer. He showed why by scoring against them after a run from deep in his own half. Getty

Centre forward: Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) – Seems to get better by the week. A hat-trick against Manchester United was a historic feat. Pity the tormented Luke Shaw. PA

Centre forward: Joshua King (Watford) – Everton never gave him a start last season. He showed what they missed with a hat-trick on a return to Goodison with Watford. AFP

A dramatic round of Premier League fixtures that sparked huge celebrations among fans - and left others with heads in hands and some managers fearing for their futures.

The action kicked off on Friday night, when Arsenal comfortably downed Aston Villa, and then Saturday's early game saw Chelsea thrash Norwich City.

Watford earned one of the most surprising results of the weekend, a 5-2 win at Everton, with Josh King grabbing a hat-trick against his former club.

Manchester City looked impressive again in their win at Brighton, and on Sunday there were victories for West Ham against Tottenham and Leicester at Brentford.

The weekend rounded off with a blockbuster, though Manchester United fans might not want to be reminded. A 5-0 win for Liverpool was their biggest ever at Old Trafford, and there will be questions asked of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
