Sports Mole's Team of the Week

Sports Mole's Team of the Week

It was goals galore at both ends of the Premier League this weekend as nets up and down the country rippled a whopping 34 times. Here, Sports Mole picks out its best XI.

Shay Given - Aston Villa As tempting as it was to put teammate Alan Hutton in for his goalline save against West Brom, Given's last-gasp stop from Peter Odemwingie could prove valuable for struggling Villa.

Kyle Walker - Spurs The 21-year-old capped a week in which he was named PFA Young Player of the Year by scoring a stunning free kick in Sunday's win over Blackburn. John Heitinga - Everton The Toffees' hard man let nothing get past him as his side romped to a 4-0 victory over Fulham. John Terry - Chelsea Always seeming to find the net following controversy, the Blues' captain helped ease the pain of his sending off against Barcelona with a goal against QPR. Emmerson Boyce - Wigan It's rare for a Latics defender to make it into this select XI, but a clean sheet and assist versus Newcastle has seen Boyce get the nod.

Matt Jarvis - Wolves The wily winger grabbed a brace in Saturday's ridiculous 4-4 draw at Swansea. Shaun Maloney - Wigan It's no coincidence that the Latics' resurgence has come with the Scot's return to the side. Found the net again in Saturday's 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle. Steven Gerrard - Liverpool The Reds' skipper was at his marauding best against a hapless Norwich. Victor Moses - Wigan The Nigerian's stock has kept on rising following his two goals against the Magpies.

Luis Suarez - Liverpool The controversial striker was in the headlines for the right reasons after a sublime hat-trick against Norwich. His third, a sweeping lob over John Ruddy, has to be one of the goals of the season. Fernando Torres - Chelsea The other hat-trick of the weekend came from the man who helped fund Suarez's move to Anfield last year. The Spaniard is hitting form at the perfect time for the Blues.
