After scoring another two goals in Crystal Palace's 2-0 win at Tottenham Hotspur, Eberechi Eze is one of the Premier League's most in-form players right now.

The England international was in the right place at the right time to score in each half in north London, making it four goals in his last three league matches, ahead of Saturday's FA Cup final against Manchester City

Because of that ruthless display in front of goal, Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer, has named Eze in his Matchweek 36 Team of the Week, alongside Palace team-mates Daniel Munoz and Marc Guehi.

Shearer MW36 TOTW

Mark Flekken (Brentford)
"Made some big saves late on as Brentford held on to beat Ipswich Town and boost their hopes of European football next season."

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace)
"A constant threat down the right for Crystal Palace, hitting the crossbar before setting up Eze’s opener."

Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace)
"Such an assured display, keeping the Spurs attack quiet while also initiating Palace’s attacks from the back."

Dan Burn (Newcastle)
"A rock again at the heart of the Newcastle defence and popped up with an assist in a huge win over Chelsea in the fight for Champions League spots."

Mats Wieffer (Brighton)
"Is adapting well to his new full-back role, winning several duels, with one leading to him being fouled by Matheus Cunha to win the penalty converted by Danny Welbeck."

Sandro Tonali (Newcastle)
"Made a terrific run from midfield to get on the scoresheet to cap another impressive performance."

Tomas Soucek (West Ham)
"Showed his predatory instincts to tap in for the opener and send West Ham on their way to a first league win at Old Trafford since 2007."

Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
"Was involved in both of Nottingham Forest’s goals, heading in the first before producing a sensational cross for Chris Wood to score."

Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace)
"He was on fire at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, scoring two more goals. He looks unstoppable at the moment."

Eze's second goal v Spurs

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
"Scored a huge goal in the top-five race to become Aston Villa’s all-time leading scorer in the Premier League."

Beto (Everton)
"Led the line superbly for Everton and got his goal in a terrific victory at Fulham."

Manager: Unai Emery (Aston Villa)
“Cleverly changed his tactics without the injured Youri Tielemans, going long to bypass AFC Bournemouth’s press, to gain a huge win in the top-five race.”
