premier League Team of the Week: Ozil & Ramsey feature again as Townsend earns spot

The Premier League returned with a bang this weekend as the goals flew in up and down the country, withArsenal maintaining their lead at the top of the table after a convincing 4-1 victory over Norwich.
Manchester United drew with Southampton at Old Trafford as their disappointing start to the season continued, while there were wins for Chelsea, Manchester City, Tottenham, Everton, Swansea and Fulham, who smashed four past Crystal Palace on Monday night.

Mark Hughes' Stoke City side were held to a 0-0 draw in their meeting with West Brom, and it's the Britannia Stadium where Goal finds our first pick for Team of the Week, with Asmir Begovic (4.5) claiming the spot in goal after a solid showing between the sticks.
In defence, we opt for a system utilising three at the back with Billy Jones (4) getting the nod for helping his West Brom side keep a clean-sheet against Stoke, while Chico Flores (4) also features following Swansea City's hammering of Sunderland.
Dejan Lovren (4) gets his second Team of the Week appearance of the season, with his late headed goal rescuing an unlikely point for Southampton against David Moyes' Red Devils to maintain the Saints' impressive start to the 2013-14 campaign.
