Bernd Leno again caught Alan Shearer’s eye with his performance against Manchester United on Sunday.

After his shutout in the 2-0 victory at Emirates Stadium, the Arsenal goalkeeper has been given a place in Shearer’s Team of the Week for the third time in a row.

"He again showed great agility," says Shearer of the German, who is joined in a 4-3-3 formation by his defensive colleagues Laurent Koscielny and Sead Kolasinac.
