African Stars led by Eagles duo dominate Premier League Team of the Week

Anglo-Nigerian stars Eberechi Eze and Michael Olise have been named in the Premier League Team of the Week. 

Pulse Sports Nigeria can report that the Crystal Palace playmakers were named alongside African talents Bryan Mbeumo and Yoane Wissa, according to stats experts Whoscored.

Eze (8.73 rating) and Olise (8.89) were instrumental as Crystal Palace thrashed West Ham 5-2, with the former scoring one and assisting another, while his compatriot matched that goal contribution.

Their scintillating displays were complemented by teammate Jean-Philippe Mateta's brace as the Eagles soared under new manager Oliver Glasner.

Cameroonian star Mbeumo continued his sensational form with two assists in Brentford's 5-1 demolition of Luton Town, earning a place in the elite XI.

His teammate from DR Congo Wissa went one better, bagging his first Premier League brace of the season en route to being named Player of the Week with a stellar 9.27 rating.

The African duo have been pivotal as the Bees' impressive display against Gabriel Osho and Elijah Adebayo’s Hatters seem to have secured another season in the topflight.
