Arsenal gained an edge over Manchester City in the title race, while Tottenham Hotspur overtook West Ham United in the relegation battle. That aside, who were this week\u2019s top individual performers?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve included players from teams such as Brentford, Bournemouth and Newcastle United in our latest team of the week XI \u2013 let\u2019s see who made the final cut.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GK: Kevin Kelleher<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1074715821\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>One of the most under-appreciated goalkeepers in the world right now, Caoimhin Kellher turned out another textbook display between the sticks against West Ham in a thumping 3-0 win.<\/p>\n<p>Brentford largely controlled the outing, but the Irish international still had plenty of work to do. He made four saves against the Hammers en route to maintaining his clean sheet.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">RB: Keane Lewis-Potter<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1076312302\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Another Brentford player, Keane Lewis-Potter is likewise highly underrated by the general audience. Tasked with containing the dangerous Jarrod Bowen, he didn\u2019t give West Ham\u2019s talisman a sniff throughout the game.<\/p>\n<p>On top of this, Lewis-Potter also notched up an assist when he found Mikkel Damsgaard for Brentford\u2019s third goal \u2013 this was a complete full-back performance. <\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CB: Marcos Senesi<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1076480905\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>Marcos Senesi showed everyone why he\u2019s one of the best ball-playing defenders in the Premier League with a commanding display against Crystal Palace on Sunday afternoon.<\/p>\n<p>Palace offered little in the way of a threat in truth, but Senesi\u2019s passing and movement on the ball was sensational \u2013 Bournemouth must brace themselves for his departure in the summer, especially with his contract due to expire in the summer.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">CB: Sepp van den Berg<\/h2>\n<p><smartframe-embed customer-id=\"0fab81ce12e48a0794275e1d82449fb1\" image-id=\"1072986972\" style=\"width: 100%; display: inline-flex; max-width: 100%;\"\/><!-- https:\/\/smartframe.io\/embedding-support --><\/p>\n<p>The third Brentford player in our XI \u2013 Sepp van den Berg marshalled his backline with authority well beyond his years against West Ham.<\/p>\n<p>Aerially dominant and strong in the tackle, the Dutchman did everything you could\u2019ve asked from him en route to keeping a clean sheet.<\/p>\n<p>      <!-- Article End -->\n    <\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The end of the Premier League season is now well in sight.
