Premier League Team of the Week: Arsenal, Chelsea and Wolves stars hit the Matchweek 7 headlines

DF: Ola Aina (Fulham)

The 24-year-old not only helped Fulham keep a first clean sheet and win of the season, but also netted his first career Premier League goal. Aina found himself on the end of a lovely passing move to drill the ball into the top corner from outside the area, giving WBA ‘keeper Sam Johnstone no chance.

DF: Kurt Zouma (Chelsea)

Thiago Silva once again impressed in the Blue of Chelsea but we’ve opted for his centre-back partner Kurt Zouma. The Frenchman dealt well with Burnley’s powerful strikers to help secure the Blues a decent three points and clean sheet. At the other end, he netted his third Premier League goal of the season when he headed home his side’s second goal.

DF: Gabriel (Arsenal)

Arsenal look to have found themselves a centre-back who loves to defend in the shape of Gabriel. The Brazilian was again superb at Old Trafford as he played a big part in helping the Gunners beat Manchester United 1-0. Despite an early booking he stayed rock solid all match and Was rock solid all match and denied Nemanja Matic a chance late on with a key tackle in the penalty area.

DF: Rayan Ait-Nouri (Wolves)

Not many Wolves fans – never mind anyone else – would have expected the name Rayan Ait-Nouri to be in the team of the week prior to matchweek 7. However, the Frenchman was handed his debut by Nuno Espirito Santo and grabbed his opportunity with both hands. The 19-year-old helped his side secure a clean sheet and also scored the opening goal with a great left-foot strike in the 2-0 win over Crystal Palace.
