De Bruyne, Higuain headline top goals, players of the week in Europe
Top three goals of the week
Michail Antonio (West Ham): A fourth headed goal this season for the recent England call-up, but this was all about Dmitri Payet, whose rabona cross was inch-perfect.
Did that just happen?!? It doesn't get much better than this assist from Payet! #PLonNBC https://t.co/hI3rpcQOCL

Gonzalo Higuain (Juventus): A scissor-kick volley into the top corner takes the Argentine’s tally to three in as many games as the chat about his physical condition has gone quiet.
Goooooooooooal!

Stunning acrobatic volley from @G_Higuain! WOOOOOOOOOOW! #SerieA https://t.co/Pk0b0u6m8q
Raul Garcia (Athletic Bilbao): A blaster from distance from the Athletic midfielder which was enough to win the game at Deportivo and get the Bilbao club off the mark for the season.

Top three players of the week
Joel Pohjanpalo (Bayer Leverkusen): The Finnish forward came off the bench to score a 15-minute hat-trick in his side’s 3-1 win over Hamburg. Remember the name: he could be a star of the future.
Kevin de Bruyne (Manchester City): The Belgian midfielder looks like the best player in the Premier League at the moment: he scored one and hit the post twice in City’s win at Old Trafford. This could be a huge season for him.
Francesco Totti (Roma): Another dramatic performance from the young 39-year-old, who continued his habit of game-changing cameos from the bench.
