Romelu Lukaku, Daniel Sturridge and Alexis Sanchez star in the latest Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week.

Alexis Sanchez opened his acount for the campaign in emphatic fashion as he netted a hat-trick, but was not the top-scoring player as Theo Walcott was named man-of-the-match in Arsenal's 5-2 win at Leicester.

Everton's Romelu Lukaku picked up three points more as he led Everton's Monday Night Football 3-2 comeback victory at West Brom, scoring either side of his assist to warrant the MOTM award.

Sky Sports Fantasy Football team of the week

Here's how the rest of the line-up secured their places in the side...

David de Gea

The Spanish stopper was one of just two goalkeepers to keep a clean sheet over the weekend and edges Crystal Palace's Wayne Hennessey courtesy of making more saves in Manchester United's 3-0 win over Sunderland, seeing him rack up a added bonus point.

Martin Kelly

The Eagles' first clean sheet of the season sees a place in the side for Kelly, who, at just £4.5m, is in ahead of United's defenders courtesy of his modest price tag.

Brede Hangeland

Hangeland is the highest scoring defender of the weekend after being named MOTM for his commanding display at the heart of Alan Pardew's defence.

Virgil van Dijk

The summer signing from Celtic impressed again as he scored his first Premier League goal and picked up his second MOTM award of the season in Southampton's 3-1 victory over Swansea.

Theo Walcott

Walcott defied his listing as a midfielder in Sky Sports Fantasy Football as he proved his ability to lead the line in a devastating attacking performance from Arsenal, topping off a superb display with his second goal of the season.

Erik Lamela

Lamela is now Tottenham's highest-scoring midfielder, despite starting just three times, thanks to finding the net and assisting another for the first time since his club-record move to White Hart Lane.

Vurnon Anita

The central midfielder more than doubled his tally for the season as he provided an assist and was named MOTD in Newcastle's 2-2 draw with Chelsea, while striker Ayoze Perez racked up the same tally with a goal and an assist.

Marko Arnautovic

Much alike Anita, Arnautovic may not have been in the headlines but he certainly impressed, providing an assist and being named MOTD for inspiring Stoke to their first win of the season.

Daniel Sturridge

The 26-year-old looked backed to his best with two fine goals to get Liverpool back on track with a 3-2 win over Aston Villa.

Romelu Lukaku

Everton's record signing may divide opinion but his quality was undeniable in inspiring a 3-2 comeback at West Brom, seeing him become the game's leading-scoring striker in the process with 50 points.

Alexis Sanchez
