Sports Mole's Team of the Week

By Jack Prescott, Rugby Editor | 04 March 2012

After vital wins for Arsenal, Manchester City and Manchester United at the top of the Premier League, Sports Mole picks out its Team of the Week.

Paul Robinson (Blackburn):
A number of athletic saves in Rovers' 1-1 draw with Aston Villa had manager Steve Kean claiming that the 32-year-old could still do a job for England.

Bacary Sagna (Arsenal):
Strong, powerful and attack-minded, the Frenchman's cross for Robin van Persie's equaliser against Liverpool was inch-perfect.
Jonny Evans (Man Utd):
Once a liability at the back for the Red Devils, the Irishman's committed performance in Sunday's win at Spurs showed that he can now be trusted in the big games.
Joleon Lescott (Man City):
The agile centre-back put forward a good case for starting for England at Euro 2012 with an assured display against Bolton.
Jermaine Pennant (Stoke):
Was forced to enter Saturday's win against Norwich early in place of the injured Andy Wilkinson, but the out-of-favour full-back gave manager Tony Pulis food for thought.

Ashley Young (Man Utd):
After going without a goal for 10 games, the winger found his scoring touch in spectacular style with his brace at White Hart Lane.
Alex Song (Arsenal):
As others fell around him, Song was rock solid in the centre of the park for the Gunners against Liverpool. Provided a wonderful assist for Van Persie's winner, too.
Clint Dempsey (Fulham):
Two goals in Sunday's 5-0 demolition of Wolves saw the Cottagers talisman take his tally to 18 for the season in all competitions.
Adam Johnson (Man City):
Ran Bolton ragged down the flanks as City kept up their tilt at Premier League glory.

Pavel Pogrebnyak (Fulham)
A hat-trick against Wolves means that the Russian now has five goals in three games for the Cottagers. He's starting to look like some bit of business from Martin Jol.
Robin van Persie (Arsenal)
Yes, him again. We're running out of superlatives for the free-scoring Dutchman after his impressive strikes against Liverpool.
