Crystal Palace star joins Brighton, Liverpool and Man City men in Premier League's best team

Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen has been included in the WhoScored.com Premier League team of the week after his performance against Bournemouth.

Palace defeated Bournemouth 2-0 at Selhurst Park on Saturday, with Ebere Eze scoring twice as the Eagles claimed all three points to move on to 43 points from 36 games.

But while Eze has been included in Garth Crooks' Premier League team of the week after his performance against the Cherries, he has not made the cut for the WhoScored.com team of the week.

Andersen has though, with the Danish defender earning a player rating of 7.86 after making six tackles, three clearances and two interceptions during the game, while WhoScored.com stated that he had 109 touches during the course of the 90 minutes, which was more than any other player on the pitch.

The Dane was Palace's only representative in the WhoScored.com team of the week, which was dominated by Liverpool and Brighton after their respective 3-0 away wins against Leicester City and Arsenal.

Liverpool trio Alisson, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Curtis Jones made the team of the week, along with Brighton defenders Pervis Estupinan and Levi Colwill, who impressed as the Seagulls beat Arsenal 3-0 at the Emirates Stadium.

The other players included in the team were Brentford duo Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, Manchester City midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, Chelsea's Raheem Sterling and Nottingham Forest striker Taiwo Awoniyi.
