Super Eagles-eligible winger Noni Madueke made Whoscored.com's Premier League Team of the Week for gameweek 35 after his key contributions in Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Aston Villa at Villa Park on Saturday.

Madueke was featured alongside Liverpool's left-back Andrew Robertson, who played a key role in his team's 2-2 draw with West Ham, Manchester United's captain Bruno Fernandes, Arsenal's Kai Havertz, and Tottenham's Cristian Romero, all of whom stood out in the north London derby on Sunday.

Despite Chelsea trailing by two goals against Aston Villa, Madueke sparked the comeback with a first-time strike in the 63rd minute and then assisted Conor Gallagher for the tying goal.
