3 Arsenal players make Teams of the Week after Everton win Three Arsenal players have been included in the various Teams of the Week following Saturday’s win over Everton. Photo by Alex Pantling/Getty Images Arsenal’s 2-0 win over Everton was vital for the Gunners’ Premier League title chances, but it wasn’t necessarily the team’s best performance of the season. Despite playing some good football at times, the team largely failed to capitalise on their possession for the first 88 minutes.

All the same, there were some excellent individual displays in there, and three Arsenal players have made it into the BBC’s and Sky Sports’ Teams of the Week. Clinton Morrison picked David Raya and Max Dowman for Sky Sports’ team, along with former Gunner Konstantinos Mavropanos for his excellent display against Arsenal’s title rivals Manchester City. Sky Sports’ Team of the Weekend for Matchweek 30 It’s certainly not hard to see why Dowman made the cut, after coming off the bench and playing the ball in for Arsenal’s opening goal, before scoring the second to settle the result.

As for Raya, the Arsenal goalkeeper made some great saves, including one point-blank stop with his feet to deny Beto. His clean sheet allowed the team to continue pushing for a winner until the very end. Troy Deeney also selected Dowman for his BBC team, as well as centre-back William Saliba .

Like Morrison, Deeney picked Mavropanos as well, but he selected another ex-Arsenal man in Aaron Ramsdale over Raya. The BBC’s Team of the Week for Matchweek 30 Deeney called Saliba a “Rolls Royce” and “a calming influence”, adding: “He is always in the right position and taking care of business. On Dowman, Deeney said: “I don’t want to overhype him and put too much pressure on him, but he may have won Arsenal the league.
