Troy Deeney’s team of the week: Guehi, Martinez, Tielemans, Igor Jesus
Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa): He was the best player on the field by a mile. He gradually became Villa’s most important player. He determines the game, breaks it and makes everything right. He is a very, very good player and as a Birmingham City fan it pains me to say that.
Ibrahim Sangare (Nottingham Forest): We lost him at Afcon and it wasn’t the same midfield. A pit bull next to Elliot Anderson; He does all the ugly things and smashes them. He’s a great footballer and part of a solid defensive unit, which of course Forest needed.
Emiliano Buendia (Aston Villa): They scored incredible goals and they were all vital to their team’s offensive output. Buendia showed a little bit of class and magic for me. I love seeing actors take risks.
Patrick Dorgu (Manchester United): Dorgu could never play such a game in his life. Michael Carrick has been incredible since he arrived. That goal in the win over Arsenal was incredible and worth winning any football match in the world.
Estevao Willian (Chelsea): He’s a young, exciting player, he had a goal and an assist but it was against Crystal Palace so he can’t chat as much as the others.
