Everton news: Toffees duo join Arsenal, Chelsea and Spurs stars in best statistical PL XI
EVERTON continued their impressive start to life under Marco Silva with a 2-1 win over Leicester, catapulting two of their players into the best performing XI in the Premier League this weekend.
Everton: Marco Silva praises Gylfi Sigurdsson's wonder goal
Everton made it two wins on the bounce with a superb victory against Leicester at the King Power Stadium on Saturday.
The Toffees won 2-1 thanks to goals from Richarlison and Gylfi Sigurdsson, helping Marco Silva’s men move up to 11th in the table.
Summer signing Bernard caught the eye on a rare start but it was another new arrival who shone enough to earn recognition in Whoscored.com’s Premier League Team of the Week alongside Sigurdsson.
The stats website gives every top-flight player a match rating made up of a host of variables including pass percentage, shot accuracy and tackle completion.
Arsenal striker Alexandre Lacazette was impressive enough to make the cut with a double against Fulham while Eden Hazard was at his best to bag a goal against Southampton.
There is no place for Lacazette’s Gunners teammate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, despite his two goals off the bench at Craven Cottage.
Meanwhile, London rivals Tottenham got two players into the best performing statistical XI after a narrow 1-0 over Cardiff.
There was also joy for Bournemouth, Huddersfield and Wolves as they all made the XI, but who else was included?
