Calum Chambers has surprisingly been named in the WhoScored Premier League Team of the Week but there’s no place for two-goal hero Olivier Giroud.

Chambers played the entire ninety minutes as we ground out a hard fought 2-1 victory over Newcastle United at St James’ Park on Saturday afternoon.

I personally didn’t think the youngster had a great game but the stats proved otherwise as he was awarded an impressive overall score of 8.60 – which was the highest of any defender in the league over the weekend.

Unfortunately, Olivier Giroud didn’t make it into the Team of the Week despite his two-goal haul as his starman score of 9.00 was beaten by Manchester City striker Wilfried Bony and Tottenham’s Harry Kane – who bagged a hat-trick during their fortunate 4-3 win over Leicester.

Danny Welbeck (8.20) and Gabriel Paulista (8.00) were two other players who received very strong scores and just missed out on a place in the featured eleven.
