Occasional Digest - a story for you

Justin James (Leicester City): I don’t remember him having much to do defensively, with all the troubles coming down Arsenal’s right. He then popped in the second half with a decent header for his first goal, while the volley he hit to equalise was unbelievable. So much could’ve gone wrong with that but the technique was excellent.

Micky van de Ven (Tottenham Hotspur): This is the second time he’s been in my team of the week already. Defensively he’s just a joke, I’m so impressed. His pace gets a lot of plaudits but the way he defends, the way he sees situations and covers his full-backs is excellent. And obviously another assist to add to a clean sheet in the win at Manchester United, so perfect for him.

Joachim Andersen (Fulham): They were the only team to get a clean sheet having played 11 v 11 at Nottingham Forest. They were excellent, he was excellent. The Dane been a real strong addition for Fulham. He has a passing ability which is quite under-rated. He hit some lovely diagonal balls which got them moving forward.

Josko Gvardiol (Manchester City): He scored a lovely goal and I thought the Croatian was really outstanding at Newcastle. I like the way he plays, he’s a big strong boy who puts himself about, but he obviously also has that lovely footwork to get the goal.
