Arsenal steamrolled another lowly team.
Aston Villa continued to improve.
And Sean Dyche’s Everton annoyed another one of the big boys with a defensive masterclass.

GK: Emiliano Martinez – A comfortable win in the end up for Aston Villa, but it was only that because their World Cup-winning goalkeeper was in brilliant form, making a number of stunning saves.
RB: Ben White – The former centre-back has been one of the best and most consistent right-backs in the Premier League this season. He was as great as ever on Sunday.
CB: Harry Souttar – Another impressive performance from the big man at the weekend. He dealt with Ivan Toney very well.
CB: Tyrone Mings – Back to his best under Unai Emery, Mings continued his resurgence with a clean sheet at the weekend.
LB: Rico Henry – Earned an 8/10 in 90min‘s player ratings on Saturday.
CM: Mathias Jensen – Another Brentford player who bagged an 8/10, and he did it by scoring his fourth goal in his last five home games.
CM: Granit Xhaka – The Swiss midfielder was at the heart of everything good about Arsenal’s performance on Sunday. He even scored a goal. Nice one.
CM: Abdoulaye Doucoure – If there’s one player who encapsulates Everton’s improvements under Sean Dyche, it’s Abdoulaye Doucoure. The midfielder scored yet another goal on Saturday.
RW: Theo Walcott – Theo Walcott in a team of the week in 2023? Yep, that’s right. Theo Walcott is in a team of the week in 2023 thanks to his surprisingly great showing against Tottenham.
ST: Alexander Isak – Finally fit at just the right time for Newcastle United, Alexander Isak’s brace earned a crucial win over Forest.
LW: Bukayo Saka – Double figures for goals and assists this season. He’s too good.
