Premier League team of the week: Declan Rice rampant and Igor Thiago take a bow

Arsenal opened up a six-point gap at the top of the Premier League, coming from a goal down before holding on for a 3-2 win over Bournemouth.

Declan Rice's drive and energy pulled the Gunners out of a hole after an error by Gabriel Magalhaes led to Bournemouth's opener.

The Brazilian made up for his gaffe, heading in a Rice corner before the latter stole the show with two well-taken strikes.

Aston Villa recovered from their own setback against Arsenal and returned to winning ways with a 3-1 victory over Midlands rivals Nottingham Forest.

Manchester City moved above the Villans on goal difference despite a 1-1 draw against managerless Chelsea in Sunday's late kick-off.

Wolves finally registered their first Premier League win of the season - at the 19th attempt.

A 3-0 win at home to relegation rivals West Ham United doubled their season's tally to six points. Here is our Premier League team of the week (4-5-1 formation):

Goalkeeper

Senne Lammens (Manchester United): A superb save to deny Noah Okafor’s overhead kick ensured Manchester United clung on for a point at Leeds United.

Defenders

Malo Gusto (Chelsea): Marc Cucurella's injury forced Chelsea's temporary coach Calum McFarlane to play the Frenchman in the unfamiliar role of left-back against City. Stuck to his task well as City looked to create overlaps.

Jan Paul van Hecke (Brighton): After a few weeks best described as shaky, the Dutchman produced a calm and reassuring performance to help Brighton get back to winning ways against Burnley.

Cristian Romero (Tottenham): Didn't allow Sunderland a sniff in the first half in arguably his best performance of the season. Recovered well after a blind backpass towards his goalkeeper almost allowed Sunderland in.

Matty Cash (Aston Villa): Always provides an out ball and picked out his teammates with precision crosses, particularly the one that led to the first of John McGinn's goals against Forest.
