Read more: Manchester City not invincible after all
Based on the latest round of Premier League matches, Richard Jolly selects his team of the week.
Goalkeeper: Lee Grant (Stoke City)
Making just his second Premier League appearance, the borrowed Grant made two superb saves as Stoke took a surprise point at Old Trafford.
Right-back: Joel Ward (Crystal Palace)
Defended well and provided excellent crosses, one for Christian Benteke’s goal, in Friday night’s hard-earned draw at Everton.
Centre-back: Toby Alderweireld (Tottenham Hotspur)
Arguably the best central defender in the division. The Belgian showed why with a masterclass to keep Sergio Aguero quiet.
Centre-back: Virgil van Dijk (Southampton)
Subdued champions Leicester City in a stalemate as Southampton kept a sixth straight clean sheet in all competitions.
Left-back: James Milner (Liverpool)
The most prolific penalty taker in the league scored another and worked relentlessly to help his team come from behind at Swansea City.
Right midfield: Theo Walcott (Arsenal)
Won a vital late header in the Burnley box as Arsenal turned one point into three in injury time at Turf Moor.
Centre midfield: N’Golo Kante (Chelsea)
Missed a golden chance but it was the only blight on an all-action display as he helped earn Chelsea a 2-0 win at Hull City.
Centre midfield: Dele Alli (Tottenham)
Scored a goal, won a penalty and showed the running power that helped Tottenham press Manchester City to distraction.
Left midfield: Dimitri Payet (West Ham United)
Scored the goal of the weekend courtesy of a stunning solo run that took him past five Middlesbrough players.
Striker: Roberto Firmino (Liverpool)
The Brazilian’s wonderfully precise header brought Liverpool level at Swansea. Predictably, he was a nuisance to the Swansea defence.
Striker: Son Heung-Min (Tottenham)
Even when the rejuvenated South Korean did not score, he played a part in both Spurs goals to defeat leaders Manchester City.
