Man City and West Ham dominate our Premier League Team of the Weekend after another engrossing round of matches in the top flight. <\/strong><\/p>\n Another top display from Robin Roefs, who made seven saves to ensure Sunderland kept a clean sheet to beat Spurs 1-0 at the Stadium of Light.<\/p>\n Read \u2013\u00a0Xhaka demands respect for Sunderland following Spurs win<\/strong><\/p>\n Two goals and a clean sheet for Mats Wieffer as Brighton beat Burnley 2-0 to maintain the Seagulls\u2019 push for Europe. Not a bad day\u2019s work.<\/p>\n A huge Friday night for West Ham saw them batter Wolves 4-0 at home and move out of the drop zone. Konstantinos Mavropanos scored half of the Hammers\u2019 goals and helped keep a clean sheet at the other end.<\/p>\n A massive win for Manchester City was built from the back. Marc Guehi put in a huge shift against Chelsea, winning the Man of the Match award after having the most touches, passes, line breaking passes and interceptions.<\/p>\n The centre-back also doubled his side\u2019s lead in the second half with a lovely finish for his first Premier League goal since joining the club.<\/p>\n Nico O\u2019Reilly continues to be City\u2019s best left-back and one of their best attackers, netting his fifth goal of the season on Sunday. The only blot on a great day for the youngster was that he had to come off in the second half with a possible injury.<\/p>\n It\u2019s not everyday you score the winning goal at the league leaders. Bournemouth put in a terrific team effort on Saturday to best Arsenal, but it was Alex Scott who got the glory with a well finished winner in north London. The 22-year-old was an industrious presence in midfield too, making a massive 13 defensive contributions.<\/p>\n What. A.

The France international reached double digits for assists this season after setting up a couple of goals against Chelsea. A lovely cross found O\u2019Reilly for the opener, but his pass for Guehi\u2019s goal was sublime.<\/p>\n What a finish from Manchester City’s Marc Guehi! 💥 pic.twitter.com\/Q1NUwbNOdh<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Sky Sports Premier League (@SkySportsPL) April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Jarrod Bowen\u2019s fingerprints were all over West Ham\u2019s win over Wolves as he was involved in three of their four goals. His perfect cross found the head of Mavropanos for the opener before later setting up Taty Castellanos for his second assist of the night. His corner also led to Mavropanos\u2019 second goal following an attempted clearance.<\/p>\n The 29-year-old almost scored too, charging forward before unleashing a strike from the edge of the area that clipped the outside of the post.<\/p>\n What a day that was for young Rio Ngumoha. After being handed a surprise start against Fulham, the 17-year-old gave Liverpool the shot in the arm they desperately needed.<\/p>\n The winger had Anfield on their feet when he cut inside from the left and sent a superb shot into the far side of the net. He was then involved in the lead up to Mo Salah\u2019s wonderful goal, switching the play to set it in motion.<\/p>\n 😮💨🤿 pic.twitter.com\/PhP0qjlObm<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Liverpool FC (@LFC) April 12, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n Castellanos doubled his tally of goals for West Ham in one game as he grabbed a brace against Wolves. No player took more shots (5) or had more shots on target (3), while only four players generate more expected goals than him (1.14xG).<\/p>\n Read \u2013\u00a0De Zerbi: One win can change everything for Tottenham Hotspur<\/strong><\/p>\n This was a tight call between Igor Thiago and Jean-Philippe Mateta. Both men scored a brace, each striker scoring one of their two goals from the penalty spot. But the nature of Mateta\u2019s influence on Crystal Palace\u2019s win over Newcastle United takes the biscuit.<\/p>\n The 28-year-old has barely played the last two months, having just recovered from an injury that was flagged following a medical with AC Milan in the winter window, which scuppered a dream move to the San Siro. But he flipped the game on its head, inspiring a 2-1 comeback win at Selhurst Park.<\/p>\n Read \u2013\u00a0Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd set for \u00a3100m transfer battle<\/strong><\/p>\n See Also\u00a0\u2013 Power Rankings: PSG on the march, Arsenal on the slide?<\/strong><\/p>\n Facebook<\/a> | Instagram<\/a> | Twitter<\/a> | YouTube<\/a> | TikTok<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\nPremier League Team of the Weekend:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
