CF: Erling Haaland (Manchester City): “I’m back,” the Norwegian goal-machine declared after ending a four-game run without a Premier League goal at the Etihad. Back he was indeed as Haaland ripped Fulham apart with a hat-trick in the 5-1 win as City extended their perfect start to the season. PA
PREMIER LEAGUE TEAM OF THE WEEK: (3-4-3): GK: Jordan Pickford (Everton): May have conceded twice, including an unfortunate own goal, but the England keeper secures his place in the team for the magnificent late double save which earned Everton their first point of the season in the 2-2 draw at Sheffield United. Getty
DF: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool): Allowed by Aston Villa to play to his attacking strengths, the England full-back's full range of passing was on display as Liverpool ran out 3-0 winners. Got the assist for Dominik Szoboszlai's stunning opener and started the move for the Matty Cash own goal with a delightful long ball in behind. AFP
DF: Willy Boly (Nottingham Forest): Only two defences kept clean sheets this weekend and Boly was central to Forest's 1-0 shutout at Chelsea. The Ivorian stood firm and ensured Forest held their shape as Chelsea dominated the ball but were limited in their goalscoring chances. Getty
DF: Joe Worrall (Nottingham Forest): Fully deserves his place next to teammate Boly after a proper captain's performance at Stamford Bridge. Fellow centre-back Scott McKenna worthy of a shout, too, as Forest claimed their first away win at Chelsea since 1995. AP
RW: Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace): How delighted Palace manager Roy Hodgson must be that his star player stayed at Selhurst Park this summer. Eze ran the show against Wolves and scored his side's second goal in the 3-2 win. Special mention to Odsonne Edouard, too, for his brace. Reuters
CM: Billy Gilmour (Brighton): Understudy to Moises Caicedo and Alexis Mac Allister last season, the Scotland midfielder has been given his chance in the starting line-up and was superb against Newcastle. Gilmour had a role in all three goals as Brighton secured an impressive 3-1 win. Getty
CM: Declan Rice (Arsenal): Had already delivered an excellent performance in midfield to help Arsenal largely control the game against Manchester United, and his late goal to fire the Gunners to a dramatic victory added the gloss. Admitted he was a little “embarrassed” to be serenaded with ‘Rice, Rice, Baby’ at the end – he better get used to it. AFP
LW: Manor Solomon (Tottenham): Impressed on his Premier League debut for Spurs, providing two assists in the 5-2 battering of Burnley and offering a constant threat on the left wing. Three wins, one draw, no defeats and 11 goals scored: ‘Ange-ball’ is in full effect. Getty
RF: Son Heung-min (Tottenham): The leader of Tottenham’s new era, the South Korea star was in devastating form against Burnley, helping himself to a hat-trick to score his first goals of the season. Don’t be surprised if the floodgates now open. Getty
LF: Evan Ferguson (Brighton): The brightest young striker in the Premier League? The 18-year-old Ireland international put Newcastle to the sword with a superbly taken hat-trick, the second goal in particular a finish of real class. Getty
