After the end of the tenth round of the English Premier League, the portal Goal.com picked the best performing players of the weekend and formed a symbolic team.
Goalkeeper - Petr Cech (London Arsenal). Although the former Chelsea player failed to keep a clean sheet against Everton, he once again proved to be important for the Gunners' mechanism by resisting several dangerous opponent shots.
In the defense line, James Tomkins from West Ham performed excellently in the match against Chelsea, almost completely taking Diego Costa out of the game and contributing significantly to the Hammers' victory.
Manchester City newcomer Nicolas Otamendi ensured that the Citizens returned from the Old Trafford derby with at least one point. Although Manuel Pellegrini's team did not manage to secure a victory, the Argentine's game helped them to keep a clean sheet.
On the opposite side of the barriers, Chris Smalling played superbly. This Red Devils member is considered one of the most improved footballers in the entire Premier League.
The symbolic team also includes English teammate Marcos Rojo, who played firmly not only in defense but also tried to support attacks on the left flank.
In the middle of the field shone Yann M'Vila, who helped decide the outcome of the derby between Sunderland and Newcastle United. The energetic Frenchman secured a principled victory for the Black Cats with a three-goal margin.
Another headache for Chelsea was Cheikhou Kouyate, who overshadowed famous aristocratic names with his strong play.
Meanwhile, Tottenham representative Christian Eriksen fed Harry Kane excellently with passes. The Dane constantly troubled Bournemouth defenders, and the Spurs eventually crushed their opponents 5-1.
Constantly criticized for his instability, Mesut Ozil played amazingly once again. His precise pass to Olivier Giroud, who scored a goal, once again reminded of the class of Arsenal's offensive engine.
Leicester City leader Jamie Vardy became only the eighth player in Premier League history to score in seven consecutive matches. The striker continues to prove that, even at the age of 28, his first call to the England national team was well deserved.
In the attack, Harry Kane scored a hat-trick. The sniper, after a rather poor start to the season, showed his full potential against Bournemouth and this match may be the moment when the Englishman will start demonstrating his game again.
