Man City playmaker named in Premier League Champion's team of best Matchweek 2 performers after two assists against Spurs

A star display from Kevin De Bruyne has earned the Manchester City midfielder a place in Alan Shearer's Team of the Week.

The brilliant Belgian set up both of his side's goals in a 2-2 draw with Tottenham Hotspur to take his assist tally for the season to three.

Shearer, a Premier League Champion and the competition's all-time leading goalscorer, says De Bruyne must be a delight for the likes of Sergio Aguero and Raheem Sterling, describing him as "a forward's dream".

A first home clean sheet back in the Premier League for the on-loan Manchester United goalkeeper.

No-one goes past him. He won a massive seven tackles at Molineux.

A dogged defensive display. The centre-back even played his part in John Lundstram's winning goal.

An excellent performance. The towering defender helped his team to back-to-back clean sheets.

Grabbed an assist with a great long ball. Watford could not cope with him and Bernard down Everton's left.

A stunning goal to earn Wolves a well-deserved point.

Two assists on his first start. Very neat and full of energy.

A forward's dream! Make your run and he finds you. A masterclass in crossing.

Tenacious performance and a first goal for his boyhood club.

Won his team the points with a clinical finish and an assist.

A magnificent hat-trick. The Finn ran Newcastle ragged at Carrow Road.

The Blades are back in the big time at Bramall Lane and boy did they enjoy it! Wilder's tactics are brilliant to watch.
