BBC football pundit Troy Deeney has revealed his Premier League Team of the Week after the latest round of matches, highlighting standout performances across the league. Among the selections was Gianluigi Donnarumma of Manchester City, who was praised for his crucial role in the club’s 2-1 victory over Manchester United. His performance not only helped secure vital points for Manchester City but also reinforced his reputation as a top goalkeeper, a role he further proved in the Community Shield match earlier in the season.
Daniel Munoz of Nottingham Forest was another standout, with Deeney describing the young defender as a breath of fresh air. Munoz played a key role in Forest’s win against Aston Villa, showcasing both defensive solidity and offensive flair with his pace and power. Ezri Konsa of Arsenal was recognized for his defensive prowess in the match against Sunderland, where he made crucial saves, including denying a penalty, to help his team secure a win.
In the defensive category, Lewis Dunk of Brighton was noted for an unusual achievement: scoring a goal against Coventry City. As a center-half, this was a rare and impressive feat. Meanwhile, Tarik Muharemovic of Leeds United was acknowledged for his all-around performance against Newcastle United, despite not keeping a clean sheet. Leif Davis of Ipswich Town also shone in a high-scoring match against Crystal Palace, contributing a goal and an assist in the 6-3 victory.
On the attacking front, Enzo Fernandez of Manchester City was highlighted as the key player in the win over Manchester United, described as the catalyst for the team’s success. Pascal Gross of Brighton was recognized for his goal, assists, and ability to stabilize the team. Kevin Schade of Brentford impressed with two goals against Bournemouth, though Deeney suggested he might be on the transfer radar. Mohamed Belloumi of Hull City was acknowledged for his two-goal performance against Chelsea, showcasing his growing adaptation to the Premier League. Dominic Calvert-Lewin of Leeds United was also praised for his consistent form, scoring against Newcastle and maintaining his fitness.
Finally, Enzo Maresca of Manchester City received an honorable mention for his tactical decisions in the match against Manchester United. His decision to substitute Cherki for Ndiaye was seen as a bold but effective move that contributed to the team’s victory.
