Who made Troy Deeney’s Premier League team of the week?

Troy Deeney has named Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen, Arsenal defender Gabriel and Manchester City striker Erling Haaland among his Premier League team of the week selections, with Brighton manager Fabian Hurzeler also chosen as manager of the week. [1]

Deeney’s 11 players are Verbruggen, Chelsea’s Levi Colwill, Gabriel, Brighton’s Luka Vuskovic, Manchester United’s Diogo Dalot, Fulham’s Sander Berge, Brighton’s Diego Gomez, Chelsea’s Pedro Neto, Aston Villa’s Johan Manzambi, Tottenham’s James Maddison and Haaland. [1]

Deeney highlighted Gomez’s goal from the halfway line and Neto’s two goals in Chelsea’s win. He picked Maddison after the Tottenham midfielder scored on his return, and said Haaland could have scored a hat-trick after netting twice against Ipswich. [1]

Brighton have three players in the team, alongside Hurzeler as manager. Deeney said Verbruggen earned his place with a clean sheet, while he praised Vuskovic for Brighton’s shut-out against their nearest rivals. [1]
