Here is the Serie A Team of the Week, deployed in the usual 3-4-3 formation. Let us know your thoughts!

Juan Musso – Udinese (2 Team of the Week appearances)

Regularly alert and knew when to hold onto the ball or a parry a shot. His save from Federico Chiesa near the end was decisive.

Giovanni Di Lorenzo – Napoli

Produced a superb attacking display down the right flank. Scored the Partenopei’s second goal against Torino and he could have scored another before that.

Kostas Manolas – Napoli (2 apps)

The Greek centre-back was solid in defence and he opened the scoring with a header after a Lorenzo Insigne free-kick.

Davide Biraschi – Genoa

Nullified the attacking threats of Theo Hernandez and Ante Rebic on Milan’s left flank and he was vital in the build-up for Francesco Cassata’s goal.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan – Roma

Provided creative spark for the Giallorossi but he also tracked back and applied pressure. Assisted in one of the Nikola Kalinic goals.

Aaron Ramsey – Juventus

The Welshman is continually showing signs of improvement and he had a fine game in midfield. Scored Juve’s first and provided the assist for Paulo Dybala’s strike.

Francesco Cassata – Genoa

Played an important part in the construction of the Grifone’s attacking play and he also scored the second goal against AC Milan.

Luis Alberto – Lazio (6 apps)

Made the difference against Bologna. Opened the scoring with a powerful and low strike and then created Joaquin Correa’s goal.

Francesco Caputo – Sassuolo (4 apps)

Scored two of Sassuolo’s three goals including a superb left-foot volley.

Duvan Zapata – Atalanta (4 apps)

Starred when the two sides faced each other in Bergamo and he tormented Lecce once again, this time scoring a hat-trick.

Fabio Quagliarella – Sampdoria (2 apps)

The veteran turned the game around for Il Doria in the second half. Grabbed the equaliser with a low and delicate drive before smashing a penalty home to secure the victory.
