Left-back: Ashley Young (Inter Milan)

Ashley Young has turned out to be a shrewd signing for Inter Milan as the former Manchester United captain can play as a winger, a full-back, or a wing-back. The England international started the game as a left wing-back and provided the assist for the first goal in the very first minute itself. He also scored his fourth goal of the Serie A campaign and helped keep a clean sheet as the Nerazzuri recorded a comfortable 2-0 win.

Left-winger: Diego Perotti (Roma)

Striker: Dries Mertens (Napoli)

Dries Mertens, who is Napoli’s all-time highest goalscorer, did not have a great season by his own standards as he could not finish with double figures in front of goal for the first time in four campaigns. The Belgian ace didn’t score against Lazio but tormented the Eagles with his linkup play as he managed to provide two assists as Napoli comfortably won 3-1.
