Aston Villa produced the most eye-catching performance of the Premier League weekend as they emphatically defeated Newcastle United 4-1 - a significant result in the race for UEFA Champions League places.
Ollie Watkins was at the forefront for Unai Emery's side, scoring after just 33 seconds with a deflected right-foot shot, and going close to a perfect first-half hat-trick when his left-foot and headed efforts hit the woodwork.
And when Newcastle cancelled out his rapid opener with a Fabian Schar header, Watkins went on to set up the goal that vitally gave Villa the lead again, through Ian Maatsen in the second half.
The centre-forward admitted after the match he had been angry to be left out of Villa's starting XI for both legs of their Champions League quarter-final against Paris Saint-Germain.
"I'm not going to lie - I was fuming I wasn't playing," said Watkins, on Sky Sports. "I let him [Emery] know that. He's the manager at the end of the day. I respect his decision. But I'm not one of the players happy to sit on the bench."
If Watkins channelled that frustration, he did so at the expense of Newcastle, to the begrudging respect of their club legend Alan Shearer. The Premier League's record goalscorer has selected the Villa striker in his Team of the Week.
Dean Henderson (Crystal Palace)
"After two heavy defeats, Henderson kept a clean sheet under pressure, despite Palace playing the whole of the second half with 10 men."
Nico O'Reilly (Manchester City)
"Another game, another goal for the young full-back who's showing us why he's really an attacking midfielder. A versatile talent."
Maxence Lacroix (Crystal Palace)
"My man of the match against Bournemouth. He kept it tight at the back, even when his fellow defender Chris Richards was sent off."
Ian Maatsen (Aston Villa)
"He was very good down the left for Villa and gave them the lead in the second half with his first Premier League goal."
Elliot Anderson (Nottingham Forest)
"Ran the show against Spurs from kick-off, scoring the early goal and setting up Chris Wood for the one that was ruled out."
Pedro Neto (Chelsea)
"Chelsea’s main threat at Fulham, he scored a superb winner to snatch all three points, which could prove vital in the Champions League race."
Martin Odegaard (Arsenal)
"Did everything other than score as Arsenal overwhelmed Ipswich. An impressive captain's performance."
Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa)
"Superb in the No 10 role and was rewarded with an assist when Amadou Onana's fantastic strike made it 4-1."
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
"Another two goals, and an assist for Yoane Wissa. Brentford's best player in an excellent home win, against Brighton."
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
"Ran Newcastle ragged, right from the off. Scored in the first minute, hit the woodwork twice in the first half, and assisted Maatsen in the second half."

Leandro Trossard (Arsenal)
"Two more goals for Trossard helped Arsenal get the kind of scoreline their dominance deserved at Ipswich."
Manager: Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
"He got his tactics spot on as his exciting Villa team demolished a Newcastle side who had been in brilliant form, winning their previous five matches and scoring 15 goals in the process."
