Van Persie scored a treble against Chelsea in the London derby on Saturday as the Gunners ran out 5-3 winners in a pulsating game of football. The 28-year-old was inspirational at Stamford Bridge in the Premier League fixture and led by example.

He is now the top scorer in the English top flight with 10 goals, and has netted 28 league goals in 27 league games in 2011. When not injured, Van Persie is genuinely world class and he is showing that as the Gunners continue to recover from a disappointing start to the 2011-12 campaign.

Congratulations to Robin van Persie, Goal.com's 128th World Player of the Week!

Kevin de Bruyne – Genk

Kevin de Bruyne was sensational for Genk at the weekend as he helped the Belgian champions to a 5-4 away win over Club Brugge by netting a hat-trick.

Seydou Doumbia - CSKA Moscow

A second hat-trick in two weeks for the Ivorian. He scored a treble after his team went down to 10 men against Spartak Nalchik to take his total for the season to 22.

Eninho - Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors

Eninho scored twice for Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors in their 2-1 home victory over Al Ittihad in the second leg of the Asian Champions League semi-finals. The triumph sealed a 5-3 aggregate win and a place in the final. One of his goals came straight from the corner.

Christian Eriksen – Ajax

Ajax midfielder Christian Eriksen gave a superb performance against Roda as he scored his side’s first goal, set up the second, started the attack for the third and then provided the assist for the fourth and final goal in a comprehensive 4-0 victory.

Zlatan Ibrahimovic – AC Milan

Zlatan Ibrahimovic is proving himself to be a key player for AC Milan once again as the Rossoneri continue to recover from a slow start and rapidly climb up the Serie A table. Ibrahimovic scored in their 4-1 defeat of Parma at San Siro in midweek and bagged a brace in their 3-2 away victory over Roma on Saturday.

Alessandro Matri – Juventus

Alessandro Matri continued his great run of form for Juventus as he was involved heavily in his team’s back-to-back wins in Serie A in the past week. The Italian striker scored the second and winning goal in the Bianconeri’s 2-1 home win against Fiorentina in midweek and played important roles in both of the Turin giants’ goals in their 2-1 away triumph over Inter in the Derby d’Italia on Saturday.

Neymar – Santos

Neymar continued to show why he has the potential to be the next big thing in world football as he scored all four goals in Santos’ 4-1 demolition of Atletico Paranaense at home. Two of the 19-year-old’s strikes came from the penalty spot

Ryujiro Ueda - Fagiano Okayama

Ryujiro Ueda created a world record at the Mitsuzawa Stadium in Yokohama at the weekend during J2-League club Fagiano Okayama’s 1-0 victory over hosts Yokohama FC. Ueda found the target on 69 minutes when he ran up the left side of the midfield, just beyond the halfway line, and attempted to head clear. However, the ball eventually ended up in the Yokohama net - travelling a distance of 58.6 metres.
