Sunday's huge London derby between Chelsea and Arsenal lived up to the hype as the title rivals battled their way to a 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea midfielder Moises Caicedo was sent off in the 38th minute but his team-mates, led by captain Reece James, rose superbly to the challenge of facing the league leaders with 10 men.
They even took the lead as James set up Trevoh Chalobah with an expertly delivered corner, and the skipper's influence has earned him a place in the Team of the Week selected by Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer.
Chalobah joins James in the XI, while Shearer has also named their head coach, Enzo Maresca, as the best manager of Matchweek 13.
Emiliano Martinez (Aston Villa)
"Excellent performance. Made some brilliant saves to keep a clean sheet, including two standouts to deny Jorgen Strand Larsen and Yerson Mosquera."
Kenny Tete (Fulham)
"Showed his quality at both ends of the pitch. Scored the opening goal to set Fulham on their way to a first away league win of the season and kept Spurs' attackers quiet."
Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)
"Thiaw epitomised everything Newcastle did well at Everton. Defended superbly and scored his first two goals for the club, including the fastest Premier League goal this season after just 52 seconds!"
Trevoh Chalobah (Chelsea)
"Scored with a brilliant glancing header and was a solid presence at the heart of Chelsea's defence in their impressive draw with Arsenal."
Dan Burn (Newcastle)
"Excellent performance from the centre-back, who returned to the starting XI and formed a dominant partnership with Thiaw."
Reece James (Chelsea)
"Exceptional display from the skipper. Physically dominant in midfield, despite his partner in there, Caicedo, being sent off. Showed his class on the ball, with his corner creating Chalobah's opener."

Boubacar Kamara (Aston Villa)
"Capped another brilliant midfield performance with a stunning long-range strike against Wolves, straight into the top corner, to give Villa all three points in the Midlands derby."
Phil Foden (Man City)
"Underlined why he's so important to Manchester City, showing they can still win games when Erling Haaland doesn't score. His stoppage-time winner could prove to be a big moment in the title race."
Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
"The captain was key as Manchester United made a big improvement in the second half. He set up both goals for Joshua Zirkzee and Mason Mount with a couple of clever free-kicks."
Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)
"Provided the crucial pass that Alexander Isak needed to score his first league goal for Liverpool. Gakpo went on to seal the win with a great finish of his own."
Igor Thiago (Brentford)
"Now in double figures for the season after scoring twice against Burnley. Showed great composure to take and score a penalty late on at 0-0, after missing one at Brighton last weekend."
Manager: Enzo Maresca (Chelsea)
"Deserves so much credit for the way Chelsea played, especially as they were down to 10 men for so long. Maresca's men were well organised, limiting the league leaders to only a handful of chances, and they fully deserved a share of the points."
