It was goals galore at both ends of the Premier League this weekend as nets up and down the country rippled a whopping 34 times. Here, Sports Mole picks out its best XI.

Shay Given - Aston Villa
As tempting as it was to put teammate Alan Hutton in for his goalline save against West Brom, Given's last-gasp stop from Peter Odemwingie could prove valuable for struggling Villa.

Kyle Walker - Spurs
The 21-year-old capped a week in which he was named PFA Young Player of the Year by scoring a stunning free kick in Sunday's win over Blackburn.
John Heitinga - Everton
The Toffees' hard man let nothing get past him as his side romped to a 4-0 victory over Fulham.
John Terry - Chelsea
Always seeming to find the net following controversy, the Blues' captain helped ease the pain of his sending off against Barcelona with a goal against QPR.
Emmerson Boyce - Wigan
It's rare for a Latics defender to make it into this select XI, but a clean sheet and assist versus Newcastle has seen Boyce get the nod.

Matt Jarvis - Wolves
The wily winger grabbed a brace in Saturday's ridiculous 4-4 draw at Swansea.
Shaun Maloney - Wigan
It's no coincidence that the Latics' resurgence has come with the Scot's return to the side. Found the net again in Saturday's 4-0 thrashing of Newcastle.
Steven Gerrard - Liverpool
The Reds' skipper was at his marauding best against a hapless Norwich.
Victor Moses - Wigan
The Nigerian's stock has kept on rising following his two goals against the Magpies.

Luis Suarez - Liverpool
The controversial striker was in the headlines for the right reasons after a sublime hat-trick against Norwich. His third, a sweeping lob over John Ruddy, has to be one of the goals of the season.
Fernando Torres - Chelsea
The other hat-trick of the weekend came from the man who helped fund Suarez's move to Anfield last year. The Spaniard is hitting form at the perfect time for the Blues.
