Left winger: Leroy Sane

Sane has really hit form in recent weeks, and he continued that run against Bournemouth. HIs pace and constant movement troubled the Cherries backline throughout the game, and the German winger was involved in two goals.

His run in behind created the chance for Bernardo Siva to fire in the opening goal, and he assisted Ilkay Gundogan's goal with a precise cross which sealed the game for them. Sane's performance earned him the 'Man of the Match' tag, and it is looking as though he is nearing the levels of last season.

Centre midfield: Lucas Torreira

Arsenal have been craving for an elite holding midfielder in recent years, and boy have they got one now. Torreira is enjoying his first season in London, and he made himself a cult hero by the best way possible: excel in a North London derby and score a goal to boot.

The Uruguayan was sensational against Spurs. He won all his tackles, completed 90% of his passes, and made 12 recoveries. His energy and drive in midfield were vital for Arsenal, especially in such an intense game. The goal came late on when he finished clinically from inside the box to give way to an emotional celebration. No wonder the Gunners are singing his praises.

Centre midfield: Andre Gomes

Playing at Anfield is one of the most difficult tasks in world football, and playing there in the Merseyside Derby is even more daunting. Gomes was doing it for the first time, but the silky midfielder definitely aced the test.

Everton held their own in an intense derby, and a composed Gomes in their midfield was one of the main reasons why. He did miss a glorious chance to give his side the lead in the first half, but aside from that, he was brilliant. Calm on the ball, the Portuguese kept possession well and instigated attacks for Everton. He has formed a formidable duo alongside Idrissa Gueye, and he is settling in well since his move from Barcelona.

Right winger: Andros Townsend

Crystal Palace finally got back to winning ways with a 2-0 win over Burnley, and Townsend played a starring role in the game. Playing in an advanced role alongside Wilfried Zaha, Townsend bagged a goal and an assist.

HIs assist was not remarkable, as James McArthur's scored from long range from his pass. But his goal was no fluke, as he thundered in a left-footed drive into the top corner. This win was Palace's first home win of the season, and Townsend's goal triggered wild celebrations t Selhurst Park.
