Gareth Bale makes our Premier League team of the week for a second successive week after his brace against Crystal Palace helped move Tottenham up to sixth.

As good as the Welshman was though, it was teammate Harry Kane who stole the show, scoring twice and assisting in the other two.

Manchester United beat their City rivals to deny Pep Guardiola's side a 21st-straight win.

Victory was down in no small part to the performances of their full-backs, with Luke Shaw instigating and finishing off United's second.
