Premier League team of the week: Week 35

Wow, what a weekend of Premier League football that was.

Spread across three days because of the coronation of King Charles III, we saw goals galore, upsets and some huge results that could have huge ramifications for the title race, Champions League qualification and battle to beat their drop.

There were some superb individual performances but also some absolute rotters, though it's the former who will garner the spotlight here as 90min spins you through the team of the week for Gameweek 35.

Premier League team of the week: Gameweek 35

GK: Aaron Ramsdale

Arsenal's 2-0 win over Newcastle at St James' Park was absolutely huge for the club's Premier League title ambitions.

They were the better team in the North East, despite Eddie Howe questioning some of the time wasting tactics on show, but still needed a top drawer performance from Aaron Ramsdale in goal. When his side needed him to deliver, the 24-year-old made some wonderful saves, most notably keeping out Fabian Schar's header from point-blank range.

90min rating: 9/10

RB: Pedro Porro

Okay, so Pedro Porro at right-back isn't really a match made in heaven. But for the purposes of 90min's team of the week formation, and the fact the Spaniard put in one of his best performances in Spurs colours, he bags a spot in the back four.

What made Porro's display so good? He was a constant threat to Crystal Palace's backline, running at their defence with pace, and his delivery from set pieces was exquisite more often than not. Couple those two points with an assist for Harry Kane's 209th Premier League goal and it's case closed.

90min rating: 8/10

CB: Craig Dawson

Wolves' resurgence under the management of Julen Lopetegui has been nothing short of remarkable.

They have picked up regular points at home and are now assured of their place in the Premier League next season - where earning a place back in the top half of the table will surely be the ambition. Against in-form Aston Villa on Saturday, one player stood head and shoulders above the rest in defence; January signing Craig Dawson.

Time and again he put is body on the line, in a performance that was reminiscent of his very best days at West Ham.

90min rating: 8/10

CB: Nayef Aguerd

Manchester United rocked up to London Stadium on Sunday evening looking to banish the memories of Alexis Mac Allister's stoppage-time penalty winner for Brighton days earlier.

Instead, Marcus Rashford, Wout Weghorst and company came up against an inspired Nayef Aguerd, who was covering on the right side of central defence because of injuries to Kurt Zouma and Vladimir Coufal. The Moroccan was brilliant, with David Moyes effusive in his praise for the 27-year-old.

90min rating: 8/10

LB: Vitalii Mykolenko

Everton's romping 5-1 win at Brighton really was quite remarkable, given they've absolutely toothless in front of goal this season.

The foundations of their success we'll get into shortly, but first a nod of recognition for the performance of Vitalii Mykolenko, who nullified the threat of teenage wonder boy Facundo Buonanotte and then England hopeful Solly March.

Not a bad day's work.

90min rating: 7/10

DM: Declan Rice

It's not hard to understand why Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester City and many more want to sign Declan Rice this summer, but his performance on Sunday reemphasised exactly what he brings to the table.

Endless energy, tremendous understanding of the game, composure and class on the ball, Rice's performance had it all against Manchester United, with Casemiro completely outclassed and borderline invisible on the day.

90min rating: 9/10

DM: Ilkay Gundogan

Ilkay Gundogan may have missed out on a hat-trick against Leeds United at the Etihad Stadium, slamming his penalty against the post, but his overall performance was sublime.

The German caressed home two sweet strikes into the corner of Joel Robles' net, showing exactly why Pep Guardiola is desperate for him to reject Barcelona's advances and sign a new deal.

90min rating: 9/10

AM: Martin Odegaard

With his first half strike at St James' Park, Arsenal captain Martin Odegaard notched his 15th Premier League goal of the season, none of which have come from the penalty spot.

The last player to achieve that? Kevin De Bruyne. Not bad company for a player still dreaming of lifting the title come the end of the season.

90min rating: 9/10

AM: Abdoulaye Doucoure

Where on earth did this performance from Abdoulaye Doucoure come from?

Settled Everton's nerves with an early goal against Brighton before cushioning a superb volley past Jason Steele. Made countless runs into the penalty area in what was a superb box-to-box midfield display.

90min rating: 9/10

AM: Dwight McNeil

2021/22 was a pretty rough campaign for Dwight McNeil, as he not only experienced relegation with Burnley, but also finished the season with zero goals and zero assists in 38 appearances.

This year hasn't been much better at Everton in terms of results, but individually he's really starting to find his form. A brace of goals at the AMEX made it four in his last five appearances, with an assist thrown in for good measure.

90min rating: 9/10

CF: Harry Kane

At a rain-soaked Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday, Harry Kane planted a header past Sam Johnstone to register the 209th Premier League goal of his career.

Only Alan Shearer is ahead of Kane in the all-time scoring charts, sitting pretty on 260. Can be hauled in by Tottenham's main man? The answer to that is almost certainly going to be yes barring an injury nightmare or a sudden, unexpected move abroad.
