'Perfect signing' Jota and Vardy at the double: Premier League team of the week

Jota's brace helps Liverpool to 4-0 win over Southampton while Vardy strikes twice in Leicester's victory over Watford

Goalkeeper: Illan Meslier (Leeds) – Neal Maupay’s misses helped Leeds keep a clean sheet, but so did the heroics of their goalkeeper, who made terrific saves from Leandro Trossard. PA

Right-back: Tariq Lamptey (Brighton) – Produced a buccaneering display to illuminate the stalemate against Leeds. Brighton’s full-backs are often their most exciting players. AFP

Centre-back: Thiago Silva (Chelsea) – Belied his 37 years with another flawless performance against Manchester United. The Brazilian also won Chelsea’s penalty. AFP

Centre-back: Ethan Pinnock (Brentford) – Helped get Brentford back to winning ways as they snuffed out Everton, while Ivan Toney’s nerveless penalty sealed victory. PA

Left-back: Andrew Robertson (Liverpool) – Set up Diogo Jota’s early opener against Southampton and provided a stream of inviting crosses as he surged forward time and again. Getty Images

Right midfield: Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) – Scored a high-class goal to break the deadlock against Newcastle, courtesy of a wonderful passing move and capping his usual excellent performance. Getty Images

Centre midfield: John McGinn (Aston Villa) – Made it back-to-back wins under Steven Gerrard as he scored a glorious late goal. McGinn was excellent at Crystal Palace even before then. AP

Centre midfield: Ilkay Gundogan (Manchester City) – Scored City’s first goal against West Ham and got the assist for Fernandinho’s late strike. The German is playing very well. PA

Left midfield: James Maddison (Leicester) – After a slow start to the season, Maddison is back in form. Scored the first goal against Watford and then got two assists in a 4-2 win. Getty Images

Centre forward: Diogo Jota (Liverpool) “A perfect signing,” said Jurgen Klopp after Jota got a couple of predatory finishes to keep Liverpool’s prolific run going against Southampton. Getty Images

Centre forward: Jamie Vardy (Leicester) – After five games without a goal, Vardy returned to the scoresheet with a brace to ruin his old manager Claudio Ranieri’s return to Leicester. AFP

Liverpool's imperious form continued with another 4-0 thrashing, with hapless Southampton on the receiving end this week.

Victory was inspired by Diogo Jota's first-half double, with Liverpool manager hailing the Portuguese after the game as "the perfect signing".

Jamie Vardy ended a five-match goal drought with a brace of his own as Leicester City got back to winning ways against Watford.

Thiago Silva was decisive at both ends as Chelsea came back to earn a point against Manchester United at home. The Chelsea captain was flawless in defence and also won the penalty that Jorginho converted for the Blues' equaliser.
