Whoscored.com has named Nigeria internationals Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi in the Premier League Team of the Week fourteen.
In a 4-4-2 formation, the Super Eagles stars were deployed as central midfielders, while Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss played as wide midfielders.
Mark Flekken (Brentford), Ashley Young (Everton), James Tarkowski (Everton), Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth), Victor Kristiansen (Leicester), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) and Christopher Nkunku (Chelsea) complete the Team of the Week.
Fulham’s number 17, Iwobi continued his rich vein of form as the Cottagers defeated Brighton & Hove 3-1 at Craven Cottage, scoring his second-ever brace in the Premier League to surpass his tally of goal contributions in his first season at Fulham.
The 28-year-old registered one key pass, three successful dribbles, four clearances, and six ball recoveries, earning a WhoScored rating of 8.76 and was named Man of the Match.
The official broadcaster of the Leicester City versus West Ham tie at the King Power Stadium picked Ndidi as the Man of the Match, as the Foxes won their first game under new boss Ruud van Nistelrooy.
The Leicester City number 6 completed two successful dribbles, made eight tackles, 11 clearances, and three interceptions, while also winning 14 out of 18 duels.
Ndidi and Iwobi have played together in central midfield for the Super Eagles on several occasions, with the Leicester City player taking on a defensive role and the Fulham star playing offensively.
