Premier League 2018/19, Gameweek 16: Team of the Week

Midfielders

Mata scored a sublime goal and set up another

Center midfield: Lucas Torreira

The Uruguayan is certainly becoming a fan favourite at the Emirates. He was impressive against Huddersfield as well and earned the points for his side with the winning goal.

The game seemed to be headed for a stalemate before Torreira popped in the box late on and finished with a sensational bicycle kick. He made 2 tackles and 2 key passes and maintained control in midfield alongside Granit Xhaka and Matteo Guendouzi.

Attacking midfield: Juan Mata

Mata has been far from a guaranteed starter this season, but the Spaniard still possess the magic, and he showed that against Fulham.

He scored the second goal for United after a flowing move and then set up Romelu Lukaku to score by a tap in to essentially wrap up the game before half-time. Mata completed 1 dribble and 3 key passes and kept the game ticking over for Jose Mourinho.

Center midfield: Abdoulaye Doucoure

Doucoure had a stellar season last time, and he has continued that run. The Frenchman was brilliant against Everton, as Watford claimed a 2-2 draw at Goodison Park.

He rose high to head Roberto Pereyra cross past Jordan Pickford, and the goal won the game for the visitors. Doucoure made 3 tackles, 2 clearances, and he kept the control in midfield as Watford battled back from a deficit.
