TheCable’s team of the week is made up of two Leicester City players, as the Foxes won against Crystal Palace — thanks to wonderful performances by Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi, amongst others, who both featured.
This week’s team will see an adventurous 3-4-3 pattern deployed, with former Golden Eaglets safe hands in between the sticks.
Dele Alampasu – Ventspils
Dele Alampasu’s calmness and composure helped Ventspils beat Liepija 2-1 in the Virsliga.
William Troost-Ekong – Udinese
Careful at the back and pushing up front: an important role in Udinese’s home draw.
Musa Muhammed – HNK Gorica
The former Golden Eaglets skipper showed why he deserves a national team recall with another sumptuous display for Gorica.
Brian Idowu – Lokomotiv Moscow
The usual consistency and practicality for the experienced Lokomotiv Moscow player. A clean sheet against Sochi helped the hosts keep their Champions League hopes intact.
Nathan Ofoborh – Wycombe Wanderers
Started like a Cheetah in the rout at Fleetwood, before running and resulting decisive with a thunderous strike for the opener.
Wilfred Ndidi – Leciester City
The heart of the Foxes midfield, running tirelessly and annihilating the enemies. He was also a constant threat to the Crystal Palace back four with some important runs up front.
Bukayo Saka – Arsenal
What he did in the game against Wolverhampton Wanderers is more than enough to include him. A wonderful strike that hit Wolves like Tsunami. Absolute quality again from Saka.
Kelechi Iheanacho – Leicester City
The forward was playing less at a stage this season, they said. No problem, a goal against Crystal Palace added to his crucial defensive work that frees Jamie Vardy and Ayoze Perez.
Ovie Ejaria – Reading
A beautiful assist and performance that killed Luton in the midfield: absolutely decisive in a fundamental Saturday.
Peter Michael – Oeygarden FK
Peter Michael is finally with Oeygarden! Two goals, a great game, and the best possible way to start life at a new club. He impressed against Sandnes in the Norwegian league.
Simy Nwankwo – Crotone
What a hat-trick, Simy was simply unplayable and can only do better. Helped his team demolish Benevento 3-0.
