Premier League Team of the Week: Kinsky, Maguire and Bowen make my XI

Sports writer selects best performers from latest round of Premier League matches

Quick Look

A sports columnist names their Premier League Team of the Week, highlighting Tottenham goalkeeper Antonin Kinsky's redemption after an earlier error, Manchester United's Harry Maguire returning from suspension to provide authority, and West Ham's Jarrod Bowen delivering a captain's performance against Everton.

AI-generated summary

Font size

Antonin Kinsky (Tottenham): What a difference two months makes. This guy was being laughed at for his Atletico Madrid performance, when he gave away two goals and was subtituted after 17 minutes. People were saying he would never play for the club again. Against Wolves he was a solid, commanding goalkeeper, which I actually didn't think he had in the locker. Based on everything I've seen, he's been quite erratic but he was very commanding, very solid and made big saves, especially that last one right at the end to tip it over the bar from a free-kick.

Piero Hincapie (Arsenal): I thought he had a tough time against Manchester City last week and Antoine Semenyo gave him a bit of bother when he kept going directly at him. I thought Newcastle would use the same blueprint, but he just shut everybody down. Great defensively, big moments with headers and blocks. Really, really good.

Harry Maguire (Manchester United): Back from a two-game suspension, just see the difference in Manchester United's team when Maguire is there. He's just a solid individual who gets stuff done. He got the assist for the opening goal against Brentford and just brings a level of authority to that United backline.

Ryan Sessegnon (Fulham): I'm going to put him at right-back even though he played left-back. He was very, very good for Fulham. One of their best attacking outlets, kept getting forward, got his reward with the goal and kept a clean sheet against Villa. So that's why he goes in.

Kevin Danso (Tottenham): When you think to last week and the horrific mistake he made which obviously gifted Brighton's goal, it would have been easy for him to go into his shell. But he was strong and compact in the win at Wolves. Still a little bit ropey, but I think that's who he is. He going to give you those moments of nervousness. But to have the week he's had where he got abused and to come and put in a solid performance in, he goes in my team.

Sasa Lukic (Fulham): The best player on the pitch against Aston Villa. His runs from midfield, three or four times he could have been put in on goal if the pass was better. Unfortunately for Fulham it wasn't. The Serbian brings the energy, but also has a bit of spite, a little bit of nastiness. It was a big, big performance from him.

Tomas Soucek (West Ham): Another goal for the big fellow. How many times will West Ham try and move on from him and he just keeps scoring the goals that keep them safe and keep them moving forward? It's massive to have a player of his capability that wants to go and get you goals. In a huge game for them, he stepped up big, yet again.

Alexis Mac Allister (Liverpool): Two assists against Crystal Palace and I think he has started to come into form at the right time and with a World Cup coming up. He is one of those players that when he plays well, the team normally play well.

Igor Jesus (Nottingham Forest): Excellent, again, best player on the pitch. He only gets credited with one goal and one assist, but he had a hand in all five of the goals at Sunderland. Another big performance from him. He seems to be thriving now under the new management and played with Chris Wood as well, who gives him the license to go get on the ball and do what he needs to do.

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham): Captain fantastic. Huge game, huge performance against Everton. He steps up continuously for this team. Hopefully, they're going to give him some help.

Alexander Isak (Liverpool): It's nice to see him back and great to see him scoring. When one door closes with Hugo Ekitike getting injured and then you see Isak coming back from a terrible injury, I just feel this is like a sliding doors moment for him and his Liverpool career. I think he'll score a lot of goals between now and the end of the season and go to this World Cup feeling fresh and brand new.
