Marcos Alonso's double against Tottenham Hotspur saw Chelsea claim their first points of the new Premier League season as Mauricio Pochettino once again suffered a case of the Wembley jitters.
The Spaniard's match-winning contribution sees him slot in at left-back in Richard Jolly's team of the week. He is joined by teammate Andreas Christensen, who gave an excellent account of himself on his first Premier League start.
Stoke City's new signing Jese gets in the team after he marked his debut with a well-taken goal against Arsenal. The other striking berth is taken by Manchester United's Romelu Lukaku, who added to his two goals on the opening weekend with a goal in the 4-0 rout of Swansea City.
