Who gave their heart and soul? Garth Crooks' Team of the Week

After every Premier League weekend, BBC football pundit Garth Crooks gathers his thoughts and gives you his Team of the Week.

However, he is a goalkeeper first and foremost and when he was called on to produce something special he did precisely that. His point-blank save from Leandro Trossard at a crucial stage in the match was a turning point in the game and Villa never looked back. This is a team and a manager who look like they might be going places.Fabian Schar should have been booked in the first few minutes against Tottenham for his tackle on Son Heung-min and so should Dan Burn for pulling back James Maddison.

Whether Liverpool can recover from dropping points in their last two league fixtures and still mount a credible title challenge remains to be seen, but I think they may have blown it.He scored his first goal for the club at the Bernabeu in the quarter-finals of the Champions League in midweek and then along cameBoth were quite superb, although the finish against Real Madrid would have carried far more significance.

The former Manchester City player, who left the champions because he got fed up waiting for game time, moved to south-west London and hasn't stopped scoring since his arrival. He produced the most sensational hat-trick against the Toffees, each goal with its own touch of spontaneous magic and got a fourth with a penalty.

A fresh Fulham, full of running and endeavour, took complete advantage of their hosts with what was ain the end. Andreas Perreira was the star of the show for the Cottagers with two superbly taken goals.
