Whoscored.com's Premier League Team of the Week is in following the conclusion of matchday 35 on May 8.
In what was a historic day, twenty one goals were scored across three matches on Monday - the highest on a single day of Premier League football with three games or fewer played.
Alex Iwobi impressed as Everton demolished Brighton & Hove 5-1 at the Amex Stadium, capping off a fine performance with an assist for his side's fourth goal netted by Dwight McNeil in the 76th minute.
The Super Eagles playmaker slid in McNeil who rounded Lewis Dunk and the Seagulls goalkeeper before slotting the ball into an empty net.
Iwobi completed a game-high five dribbles, won two fouls for his team, and registered two clearances while making one interception.
In the final game of the matchday, Super Eagles striker Taiwo Awoniyi, with a rating of 8.43, was the star man as Nottingham Forest edged Southampton 4-3 in a seven-goal thriller at the City Ground.
The former Liverpool man also helped out defensively by making three clearances and committing a game-high four fouls.
The Premier League Team of the Week is dominated by Everton who have contributed five players in the shape of Iwobi,
James Tarkowski, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Dwight McNeil and Dominic Calvert-Lewin.
Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, Tottenham Hotspur's Pedro Porro and Cristian Romero, Wolves' Toti, Leicester's James Maddison and Nottingham Forest's Awoniyi complete the Premier League Best XI.
