Bukayo Saka produced an outstanding performance in Arsenal's impressive 3-2 victory over Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.

The winger provided key contributions, supplying an assist for the first goal and scoring the second as the Gunners held their position at the top of the table.

That wonderful display caught the eye of Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee, who has named Saka in his Team of the Week, along with team-mate Kai Havertz.

Arijanet Muric (Burnley)
"Made three big saves that kept Burnley in the game and ensured their hopes of securing safety are still alive. Another great performance."

James Tarkowski (Everton)
"Nothing got past him. He was the main man in a brick wall that allowed Everton to register a third consecutive clean sheet."

Josko Gvardiol (Man City)
"Scored the opener and had an impressive display at both ends of the pitch, including a crucial goalline clearance that kept Man City ahead."

Dango Ouattara (Bournemouth)
"A very solid game. The winger-turned-full-back was immense, showing dedication to get onto a pass and pick out Enes Unal, who headed home Bournemouth's second goal."

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
"Unplayable at times. Assisted the first goal and did very well to score the Gunners' second, taking on Ben Davies before calmly slotting the ball past Guglielmo Vicario."

Idrissa Gueye (Everton)
"The midfielder scored the winner to guarantee the Toffees' Premier League status for another season."

Conor Gallagher (Chelsea)
"Provided a much-needed jolt of energy into the midfield, supplying an assist and then scoring the all-important equaliser to secure a point."

Kevin De Bruyne (Man City)
"The creative hub. De Bruyne was the best player on the pitch, assisting both goals, including a lovely threaded pass through to Erling Haaland that sealed the victory."

Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
"Returned from injury as West Ham's main driving force to open the scoring before playing a key role in the Hammers' equaliser, with a lovely curling cross for Michail Antonio to head home."

Alexander Isak (Newcastle)
"He is in red-hot form. Netted two goals to take his tally to 19 in the league and is a firm contender for this season's Golden Boot. Two confident and well-struck finishes - one coming from the penalty spot."

Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
"Another wonderful performance, often dropping deep to link play and bringing his wingers into action as he assisted Saka. He also scored the third goal which ultimately ended up being the winner."

Manager: Andoni Iraola (Bournemouth)
“Secured back-to-back wins for Bournemouth and looking to end the season on a very good run of form, with the Cherries now in the top half of the table."
