The Alan Shearer Premier League team of the week:

Aaron Ramsdale (Southampton) “Produced a number of terrific saves as Southampton claimed their first win of the season.”

Ola Aina (Nott’m Forest) “Scored a sensational goal in the victory over West Ham and was part of a solid defensive display from Nottingham Forest.”

Murillo (Nott’m Forest) “Another commanding performance from the Forest centre-back, whose form this season has been rewarded with a first call-up for Brazil.”

Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth) “The Argentinian impressed up against Erling Haaland as AFC Bournemouth ended Man City’s 32-match unbeaten run.”

Milos Kerkez (AFC Bournemouth) “Provided the assists for both of Bournemouth’s goals, with his raids down the left flank influential as the Cherries finally beat Man City in the league.”

Harry Wilson (Fulham) “What an impact! Two stoppage-time goals to give Fulham a dramatic win over their west London rivals Brentford.”

Sean Longstaff (Newcastle) “He left everything out on the pitch, running his heart out and dominating the midfield battle against Arsenal.”

Moises Caicedo (Chelsea) “The Chelsea midfielder is improving rapidly, scoring a great goal, and was the best player on the pitch at Old Trafford.”

Antoine Semenyo (AFC Bournemouth) “Was different class, finding the back of the net with a quality finish as he continued his excellent start to the campaign.”

Alexander Isak (Newcastle) “His goal was a thing of beauty. He is finding his best form after returning from injury.”

Dominic Solanke (Spurs) “Scored the goals that his tireless work deserved. The Spurs striker ultimately proved to be the difference in the 4-1 win over Aston Villa.”

Manager: Andoni Iraola (AFC Bournemouth) “Is really making a name for himself after picking up seven points against Arsenal, Aston Villa and Man City.”
