As far as long Premier League gameweeks go, the past one was right up there with the best.

With games sprawled across Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday this past week, the Premier League title race and battle to go down was spaced out to say the least - but that didn't stop a number of top drawer performances going in from some of the best the division has to offer.

Inevitably, the team of the week has offered up a number of familiar faces, but there's some breaths of fresh air who have steamrolled their way into the best of the week 34 bunch.

Here's who made the cut and how they got the job done...

GK: Jordan Pickford - The England goalkeeper's penalty save, thanks to his trusty water bottle, could be a pivotal moment in Everton's relegation-threatened season.

RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold - Another game and another assist for Alexander-Arnold, whose inversion full-back role has done wonders for his form this season.

CB: Lewis Dunk - The towering centre-back was once again in fine form in yet another Brighton win at the weekend - this time a 6-0 pounding of Julen Lopetegui's Wolves.

CB: Victor Lindelof - The Swedish international has really stepped up his game since Manchester United's two starting centre-backs went down with injuries. Lindelof was superb against an in-form Aston Villa attack on Sunday, with his performance capped by

LB: Pervis Estupinan - The Ecuadorian full-back could not be contained at the weekend, bagging an assist for Brighton and generally running riot against a rather woeful Wolves.

RM: Jefferson Lerma - The 28-year-old scored a brace, the first of which was a stunning first time finish, to earn Bournemouth a huge win over Leeds United.

CM: Pascal Gross - Two goals for Brighton including a face-melting volley? Get in our team of the week, Pascal.

CM: Martin Odegaard - Arsenal were in desperate need of a win over Chelsea on Tuesday night, and they got it thanks to their captain's brace in a 3-1 win.

LM: Son Heung-min - Sunday may have ended in heartbreak for Son and co., but the South Korean's haul of a goal and an assist may be some consolation. Then again, maybe not.

ST: Callum Wilson - Alexander Isak is looking like a real gem of a signing for Newcastle, but there's plenty of life in striking running buddy Callum Wilson. The 31-year-old has scored five goals in his last three appearances, including two at the weekend as Southampton collapsed at St James' Park after a decent 45 minutes.

ST: Danny Welbeck - There's also plenty of life in Danny Welbeck right now, with Brighton continuing their charge towards European football. Dat Guy Welbz went one step further, however, by also bagging an assist - music to the ears of anybody with him in their Fantasy Premier League team.
