Vincent Kompany was instrumental in Manchester City’s victory over Burnley on Sunday, according to Alan Shearer.
The 1-0 win at Turf Moor restored the reigning champions to the top of the Premier League table with two matches remaining and was built on a resilient display at the back.
Indeed Kompany has helped City keep two clean sheets in three Premier League matches since returning to the side as they seek to become the first club to retain the title in 10 seasons.
"It was a captain’s performance," said Shearer, who has included the Belgian in his Team of the Week. "He dealt superbly with the aerial onslaught from Burnley."

Along with Ben Mee he was superb in helping keep the score down to one.
He did not put a foot wrong. An outstanding display.
It was a captain’s performance. He dealt superbly with the aerial onslaught from Burnley. Imperious.
Some incredible defending. The Burnley centre-back stood out again.
Brilliant and composed the whole game. Crowned his display with a superb last-ditch tackle to deny Ben Davies.
The 31-year-old dominated the middle of the park against younger opponents in the Spurs side.
Too good for Arsenal. There will be a few Premier League teams after him in the summer!
The best left-back in the Premier League. Assists galore! A dream for a centre-forward to play alongside.
Scored two goals, might have had three and contributed an assist.
Another two goals for the top-six specialist. With 18 goals he is making a late charge for the Golden Boot.
Back in form and going for successive Golden Boots after another two goals. It's great to see him back to his best.
Only Liverpool and Man City have earned more PL points than Leicester's 16 since Rodgers took charge in March.
