Stars from Chelsea, Liverpool and Leicester City all feature.
Alan Smith has named his Premier League team of the weekend for the Telegraph.
The best game of the weekend was arguably found at Stamford Bridge as Jose Mourinho endured a horrid return to his former stamping ground, seeing his Manchester United side lose 4-0 to Chelsea.
Liverpool’s 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion at Anfield, coupled with Arsenal and Manchester City drawing against Middlesbrough and Southampton respectively, saw the Reds finishing the weekend as joint leaders of the league.
Champions Leicester City got back to winning ways with a 3-1 win over Crystal Palace, while Burnley beat Everton and West Ham United consigned Sunderland to yet another defeat.
Elsewhere, Tottenham Hotspur drew at Bournemouth, Swansea City drew with Watford and Stoke City were comfortable winners over Hull City.
Well, it is a good week for Chelsea, Leicester and Liverpool as they manage to get two stars a piece into Smith’s Telegraph team.
In goal, it is Arsenal’s Petr Cech, who made a number of impressive saves to secure his side a point against Middlesbrough.
Liverpool defender Nathaniel Clyne is at right-back, with Leicester’s Christian Fuchs, who scored a superb effort in the win over Crystal Palace, is the chosen left-back.
Southampton’s Virgil Van Dijk and Middlesbrough’s Ben Gibson are his chosen center-back pairing.
In central midfield Nemanja Matic partners Philippe Coutinho and Xherdan Shaqiri in a midfield three.
Eden Hazard makes it on to one wing, having played a key role in the win over United, while Middlesbrough’s Adama Traore is on the other wing.
Up front, it is Shinji Okazaki, whose performance was vital in Leicester’s return to winning ways.
Three players unfortunate to miss out:
Winston Reid – A rock at the back for the Hammers and scored the last-minute winning goal that saw them take all three points against Sunderland.
Emre Can – Continuing in place of Georginio Wijnaldum, the German was solid at both ends of the pitch, playing a key role in their opener.
Scott Arfield – Played a big role in Burnley’s opener against Everton and then scored a superb winner in injury time to secure all three points.
