An exhilarating display by Alexander Isak helped inspire Newcastle United to their biggest win of the season, a 6-1 rout of top-four rivals Tottenham Hotspur.

The striker's two goals and all-round performance have earned him a place in Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer's Matchweek 32 Team of the Week, along with three other Newcastle stars.

“His first goal since August was a decisive one and boosts Leicester’s hopes of safety.”

Michael Keane (Everton)
“Kept Crystal Palace's attack quiet and helped Everton to their first clean sheet in five Premier League matches.”

Carlos Alcaraz (Southampton)
“Excellent at both ends, scoring the first and setting up the second, before a stunning goalline clearance.”
