Few people would have expected Newcastle United to come away with a point against Manchester City, but thanks to an impressive display from Allan Saint-Maximin, they were unlucky not to emerge with a victory.

Alan Shearer has hailed the winger's display during the thrilling 3-3 draw at St James' Park and the way he tormented the reigning champions' defence.

Saint-Maximin is one of four Newcastle players selected by Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and a Hall of Fame inductee, in his Team of the Week.

Nick Pope (NEW)
"He may have conceded three goals, but his seven saves were key in earning a point against Manchester City."

Kieran Trippier (NEW)
"The right-back capped an impressive display with a brilliant, trademark free-kick."

William Saliba (ARS)
"Superb yet again and what a magnificent first goal for Arsenal."

Tyrell Malacia (MUN)
"To keep Mohamed Salah quiet for most of the match on such a big occasion was no mean feat."

Miguel Almiron (NEW)
"Another display of tireless running brought 'Wor Miggy' a deserved goal."

Brenden Aaronson (LEE)
"Chelsea couldn't handle his runs from deep and he was rewarded for pressurising Edouard Mendy with a goal."

Martin Odegaard (ARS)
"A captain's performance! His two early goals set Arsenal up for a comfortable win."

Jack Harrison (LEE)
"Produced his third assist of the season and scored a goal to complete a memorable afternoon for Leeds."

Allan Saint-Maximin (NEW)
"Tormented Man City with his dazzling dribbling and trickery and created the first two goals."

Marcus Rashford (MUN)
"Threatened Liverpool all night with his pace and his decisive goal got Man Utd's season off and running."

Che Adams (SOU)
"His brace helped Southampton earn an impressive comeback win at Leicester City."

Manager: Jesse Marsch (LEE)
"His game plan worked to perfection, as his side recorded a famous victory."
