Team of the Week: Shearer selects FIVE Spurs players

Tottenham Hotspur's winning start to life under Thomas Frank continued on Saturday, as the north London side triumphed 2-0 at Manchester City.

Although Spurs were also victorious at the Etihad Stadium last season, that previous 4-0 success was against a Man City side suffering their fifth straight loss in all competitions.

This time, the hosts were on a high after opening the new season with a resounding 4-0 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, so Frank's achievement in overturning Pep Guardiola's side has impressed the pundits - including Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer.

In his Team of the Week below, Shearer has selected five Spurs players - and Frank as the manager.

Jordan Pickford (Everton)
"Nothing was going to get past him on such a huge occasion for Everton, in their first match at their new stadium. Not even Danny Welbeck's penalty, which he saved comfortably."

Jurrien Timber (Arsenal)
"Another match, another Arsenal defender on the scoresheet. Went one better than Riccardo Calafiori at Old Trafford by netting two against Leeds United, and he also assisted Bukayo Saka's goal."

Cristian Romero (Spurs)
"The captain gave nothing away at the back as Spurs kept a second consecutive clean sheet this season and deservedly won at Manchester City - again."

Micky van de Ven (Spurs)
"Like his centre-back partner Romero, Van de Ven was also rock solid. Erling Haaland had a frustrating afternoon against them."

Djed Spence (Spurs)
"Nothing went past him on Spurs' left side. I could have picked their full back four - Pedro Porro only misses out because of Timber's goals for Arsenal."

Joao Palhinha (Spurs)
"The midfielder scored the second goal at the Etihad Stadium and also played his part in stifling Man City's attack. He could prove a clever signing for Spurs."

Pape Matar Sarr (Spurs)
"Never stopped running and it was his pressing in the Man City box that led to Palhinha's goal, as he cut out James Trafford's attempt to play out from the back."

Josh Cullen (Burnley)
"Scored the first goal and assisted the other for Jaidon Anthony to give Burnley their first win of the season. A huge result for them at home to Sunderland."

Jaidon Anthony (Burnley)
"Like his captain Cullen, Anthony also produced a goal and an assist to get Burnley up and running in the new campaign."

Joao Pedro (Chelsea)
"Just too good for West Ham. Scored the equaliser, then set up the second goal for Pedro Neto, and got his second assist of the game when Trevoh Chalobah made it 5-1."

Viktor Gyokeres (Arsenal)
"Like his team-mate Timber, Gyokeres has to be in my line-up for scoring two goals. An important day for the forward, getting off the mark in an Arsenal shirt."

Manager: Thomas Frank (Spurs)
"Masterminded a brilliant away victory over Pep Guardiola's Man City. With five goals scored so far and none conceded, there's already a nice balance between attack and defence in Frank's Spurs team."
