Team of the Week.

The opening weekend of the Premier League 14/15 season is done and dusted, we’ve seen all the title hopefuls and relegation fodder in action. Chelsea aside many of the top teams considered to be title favourites were made to work hard for their three points and many of those predicted to be fighting for survival gave an impressive account of themselves. Here’s out team of the week…

Allan McGregor – Hull

Saved a penalty in the dying minutes away from home and gave Hull a clean sheet, kept Hull in the game with a number of saves denying QPR any hope what so ever of getting even a point

Eric Dier – Tottenahm

On his debut for Spurs in a defence that needed reshuffling because of an early red card, he was solid throughout scoring, a late late winner, Dier also helped in keeping a clean sheet in the process away from home in an all London affair.

James Chester – Hull

Welshman scored the match winning goal vs. QPR beating experienced veteran Rio Ferdinand with style 10 minutes into the second half, great start for the defender also helping keep a clean sheet, strong opening performance alongside captain Curtis Davies.

Ashley Williams – Swansea

The Swans captain lead his team to a big win over Man United, he did not panic or buckle under the pressure of United when they came at the welsh side at a full Old Trafford. Making many key blocks he looked solid throughout.

Raheem Sterling – Liverpool

He looked dangerous throughout with his running and the positions he took up.  Showed good composure with his finish for Liverpool's opening goal And notched up an assist. He was vital to Liverpool’s 3 points this weekend and his pace was just too much for Southampton.

Cesc Fabregas – Chelsea

In his Premier League debut for Chelsea he looked as though he’d been there for years. He didn’t look out of place at all and put in a solid performance, complete with an outstanding assist.

Gylfi Sigurdsson - Swansea

Like a duck to water, he was instrumental in the destruction of Manchester United. A real gritty performance with top vision and deliveries.

Jordan Henderson – Liverpool

He is looking more and more the player worth £20m, did not stop running and working for Liverpool. An excellent pass for the opening goal and an all round great midfield performance.

James Ward-Prowse – Southampton

He didn’t lose possession cheaply and really stepped up for his team. Fantastic throughout and looks set to be a real key player and instrumental in how well Southampton will do this season.

Saido Berahino – West Brom

Got himself a brace on opening weekend and showed his potential for a good season.  Key player for Albion this year and he stepped up and handled the pressure, great showing from such a youngster. He looked up for it from the start and hungry to do well.

Wayne Rooney – Man United

After being given the captains armband by Louis Van Gaal Rooney was United’s stand out player albeit in a very poor overall team performance, without his goal United looked dead and buried.
