The FotMob TOTW for the Premier League: MD9's Best XI includes Rogers, Palmer, and Van Hecke
Elsewhere, Arsenal moved three points clear at the top of the table after a 1-0 win over Liverpool. The Gunners took advantage of Man City suffering their second successive top flight defeat, this time to Brighton.
Goalkeeper: Bart Verbruggen Bart Verbruggen makes the Team of the Week (TOTW) for the second time this season thanks to an impressive display against Man City. The Belgian shot-stopper made seven saves throughout the contest to keep Erling Haaland & Co at bay, giving Brighton all three points in the process.
📈 Brighton are now FIVE games unbeaten against Manchester City in the Premier League, after beating them 0-1 away from home today! Fabian Hürzeler loves a big game.
Going forward, he made eight passes into the final third and took three touches in the opposition box. The 20-year-old also made seven defensive contributions, which included four tackles along with ten recoveries.
His place in the TOTW is certainly well deserved. Centre-Back: Jan Paul van Hecke The Tottenham defender may have endured a difficult start to life in North London, but he has shone in recent weeks.
Spurs have won three games in a row, with the latest win coming over Crystal Palace. Van Hecke netted the second deep into the second-half, contributing five shots in total during the game, the most of any player.
Not only that, he even recorded the most touches during the game (160) and made a staggering 30 passes into the final third. His ability to move the ball swiftly into the opposition danger zone could prove crucial this term.
As such, Van Hecke's 9.1 rating is the best in this TOTW, and the Spurs man also makes the grade in our Team of the Month. Centre-Back: Micky van de Ven Van de Ven and Van Hecke are starting to form a solid partnership and the former also makes the TOTW for matchday 9.
Like his compatriot, Van de Ven showed plenty of attacking qualities, making 26 passes into the final third while even creating three chances for his teammates. The defender also won 100% of his ground duels, proving that he is just as difficult to beat in one-on-one scenarios.
