Premier League Team of the Week: Our Best XI
Yahoo Sports

The Premier League served up another weekend of drama, surprise results and standout individual performances. From statement victories to impressive displays from players across the division, there was plenty of competition for a place in our latest Premier League Team of the Week.
Here's our selection of the standout performers.
Goalkeeper: Alisson - Liverpool
After recent question marks against him, Alisson provided a reminder of his quality in Liverpool 's win at Crystal Palace. The Brazilian made super stops from Daichi Kamada and Adam Wharton, before racing off his line to frustrate Yeremy Pino. A late penalty denied him a deserved clean sheet.
Right-back: Jair Cunha - Nottingham Forest
The unlikely scorer of Nottingham Forest 's opener as Oliver Glasner's side stunned Manchester City. It was a forward's finish from the Brazilian, who later made an outstanding last-ditch block to stop Erling Haaland scoring at the other end.
Centre-back: Nordi Mukiele - Sunderland
Sunderland are just a better team when Mukiele is in it. The Frenchman was too physical and too quick for Chelsea's forwards, who struggled to get a look in. He made seven clearances en route to a clean sheet and precious three points.
Centre-back: Luka Vuskovic - Brighton
Someone, soon, is going to make a massive bid for Luka Vuskovic . The Croatian centre-back has been superb since signing for Brighton from Spurs in the summer, and helped the Seagulls climb to second by beating Brentford.
Vuskovic led his teammates for duels won (11), aerial duels won (8), possession won (5) and clearances (5).
Left-back: Patrick Dorgu - Manchester United
Thrown on as Manchester United chased the game against Aston Villa, Dorgu's impact rescued a result.
The Denmark international threw caution to the wind when getting forward, crossing for Joshua Zirkzee to turn in and set up a tense finish. Dorgu then headed home the equaliser, as United scored twice in stoppage time in a 4-4 thriller.
Right-midfield: Diego Gomez - Brighton
The Paraguayan is having his own Goal of the Season competition. Gomez was full of relentless energy and drive against Brentford, and opened the scoring with a beauty. No wonder his teammates call him 'hammer foot'.
Midfield: Tyler Adams - Bournemouth
Bournemouth are flying right now. The Cherries claimed an eighth consecutive win in all competitions by beating Ipswich, with Tyler Adams at the centre of their good form.
The US international made 15 defensive contributions against Ipswich and has rediscovered his rhythm after a difficult spell with injuries last season.
Midfield: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall - Everton
Thomas Tuchel has said Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall was 'very close' to an England call-up this month and the Everton midfielder continues to knock on the door of the England squad.
Another industrious outing against Newcastle helped the Toffees to a third straight win, with Dewsbury-Hall thumping in the third from a tight angle. He linked up well with Thierno Barry and offered plenty of dynamism throughout.
Left-midfield: Florian Wirtz - Liverpool
Is Florian Wirtz turning a corner at Liverpool?
A goal and assist at Crystal Palace made it six goal involvements in eight games for the German. Wirtz stroked home a much-needed first league goal of the campaign, while completing the most dribbles (2) and covering the most distance (12.5km) in the game.
Forward: Thierno Barry - Everton
Really coming into his own this season. Barry's brace turned the game around for Everton against Coventry, after the Toffees trailed on home soil.
He headed home an equaliser, before scrambling in a second. An assist for Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall rounded off a fine evening for the in-form forward.
Forward: Liam Delap - Nottingham Forest
How he needed this. It's been a tough time for Liam Delap over the last two seasons, but this was more like it. A brilliant brace sank former club Manchester City, with Delap scoring the first after a scorching run forward.
He thumped in a second and departed to a deserved standing ovation. A complete centre-forward showing.
