Brighton and Hove Albion produced one of the best Premier League performances of the season as they walloped Sheffield 5-0 last Saturday.
The result moved the Seagulls up to seventh in the league standings and keeps Roberto De Zerbi’s team in the mix for a top six finish once again.
“We need to have three or four wins in a row,” said De Zerbi. “I have seen the table. We are competing to find the same level as last season.”
A number of Albion players could easily have made Garth Crooks’ BBC Premier League Team of the Week… but here’s Crooks’ XI for the week.
9. Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
Crooks said: "Ollie Watkins took full advantage of Robinson's error of judgement and he made them pay for their folly, and he didn't leave it there either. The striker scored again in the second half with an even better finish as Villa won 2-1. Players such as Watkins must be licking their lips when they see the ball go back towards the opposition's goal and are given a chance to steal the ball. Whatever happened to that wonderful old adage: don't put the ball at risk?" Photo: Mike Hewitt
10. Rasmus Hojlund (Manchester United)
Crooks said: "Hojlund's first goal in the 2-1 victory at Luton smacked of a player bang in form and his second was just stunning improvisation. Luton players were left waving their hands in the air appealing to the referee that Hojlund had somehow used his arms and not his chest to direct the ball into the net but that was nothing more than sheer desperation and they knew it."

11. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool)
Crooks said: "The Merseysiders are about to play a resurgent Chelsea in the Carabao Cup final which, at one point, looked a forgone conclusion but is now too close to call. Any more players sidelined and it would also pose a serious threat to their title challenge. Fortunately they have Mohamed Salah back after a stint on the treatment table and he looked impressive. With Salah on the pitch, anything is possible." Photo: Ryan Pierse
