Team of the weekend

Defender: Kieran Gibbs (Arsenal)

Had a hand in an important Arsenal goal, when seeing his cross turned into the net by Lincoln’s under-pressure Luke Waterfall. Not a lot of defending to do, but stuck to his task well. Part of a solid team effort.

Midfielder: Mesut Ozil (Arsenal)

Came on midway through the first-half and swung the game in Arsenal’s favour. No man on the pitch at the end had a bigger influence on Lincoln going out of the cup, and he seemed to enjoy the occasion too.

Midfielder: David Silva (Man City)

Silva is behind everything good about City’s upturn in form, and he pulled the strings again on Saturday. Scored early in the game to settle his side into things. Boro were left chasing the day ever since.

Midfielder: Georginio Wijnaldum (Liverpool)

Not many impressed in Liverpool’s ugly weekend win over Burnley, but Wijnaldum got a crucial goal and has now scored two goals in his last two games. He reserves his best for Anfield.

Forward: Joshua King (Bournemouth)

Scored a match-winning hat-trick against West Ham at home, and looked like he could get plenty more, given the service. He was the name on everyone’s lips at the full-time whistle.

Forward: Son Heung-min (Tottenham)

With Kane taken off injured, Spurs will need a replacement for the goals, and Heung-min staked his claim for the call with a super hat-trick. Was excellent from start to finish. Spurs will now need him to carry that into the league.

Forward: Romelu Lukaku (Everton)

Lukaku is just a fantastic striker. Strong, pacey, athletic, he seems to have it all, and got another goal on Saturday. I’d be surprised if he’s at Goodison next season, and is in with a shout of finishing as the league’s top-scorer.
