It may have been a cold, snowy day at The Hawthorns on Saturday but Arsenal were on red-hot form in their 4-0 win over West Bromwich Albion.

Alan Shearer was so impressed that he has named three Gunners players in a four-man midfield for his Team of the Week.

The Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer has reserved special for Kieran Tierney, who scored one goal and set up another from left-back.

"He made several good saves as Manchester United edged a high-quality contest."

Eric Bailly (MUN) MUN 2-1 AVL

"An excellent match, including a magnificent block to deny Keinan Davis at the end."

John Stones (MCI) CHE 1-3 MCI

"Once again, he didn't put a foot wrong. Timo Werner didn't get a kick."

Jack Stephens (SOU) SOU 1-0 LIV

"Thanks to him Mohamed Salah and Roberto Firmino were very quiet."

Bukayo Saka (ARS) WBA 0-4 ARS

Emile Smith Rowe (ARS) WBA 0-4 ARS

"The 20-year-old provided energy, skill and composure, setting up Saka's goal in the move of the match."

Ilkay Gundogan (MCI) CHE 1-3 MCI

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI) CHE 1-3 MCI

Harry Kane (TOT) TOT 3-0 LEE

"Led the line brilliantly and won the match with a superb early finish."

Manager: Ralph Hasenhuttl (SOU) SOU 1-0 LIV
