It was a breathless weekend in the Barclays Premier League, with some stunning scorelines at the end of play.
Who would have predicted Tottenham beating a nine man Liverpool 4-0 (and playing brilliantly when both teams had eleven players too)?
Did Chelsea really deserve to be 3-0 down at half time to Manchester United? In the first 45 minutes, they only conceded three shots on target – with the first two goalscorers offside at the time to boot.
We’ll gloss over THAT Fernando Torres miss, as on the whole the Spain international had a pretty good match.
The disastrously out of form Blackburn Rovers also capped a remarkable comeback against Arsenal with forgotten man Yakubu grabbing a brace.
Impressive wins for promoted sides QPR, Swansea and Norwich also indicate a gradual understanding of what is needed to survive.
After all the mayhem, which players made it into the Fanatix Premier League team of the week?
Goalkeeper:
Michel Vorm (Swansea)
Defenders:
Phil Jones (Manchester United)
Anton Ferdinand (QPR)
Phil Jagielka (Everton)
Midfielders:
Luka Modric (Tottenham Hotspur)
Sebastian Larsson (Sunderland)
