Neymar and Marcos Alonso feature in the goals of the week.
The Premier League, La Liga, French and Italian leagues have kickstarted and football is back in full flow after what seemed like a rather long break. Manchester United currently stand at the top of the Premier League table with six points after two resounding wins. Chelsea won an important match at the beginning of the season to shut critics up after defeating Tottenham Hotspur 2-1 on Sunday in a thrilling match. New signings Romelu Lukaku in the English league and Neymar in the French league are shining.
Here are the best goals of the week that feature Marcos Alonso and Neymar among top five:

Chelsea’s Marcos Alonso became the man of the match with not one but two brilliant goals in a thrilling match against Tottenham Hotspur. The first goal came from a free kick with his left foot which went past the Spurs’ defenders, curling beautifully into the left corner of the post. The winning goal also came from the Spaniard with just three minutes left after Mitchy Batshuayi equalised with own goal.

Neymar has shut everyone who criticised his world record move from Barcelona to PSG with this amazing goal for the French club. The Brazilian scored two goals, two assists and earned a penalty earned in PSG’s 6-2 win against Toulouse. The 25-year old danced his way through the opponents’ defense to score one of the best goals of his career.
