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.
