Georginio Wijnaldum's wonderful goal against AFC Bournemouth was pivotal as Liverpool returned to winning ways at the weekend, and Alan Shearer says the Dutchman ran the midfield in Liverpool's 3-0 victory.
Wijnaldum sublimely lobbed Cherries goalkeeper Artur Boruc, earning him a place alongside Liverpool team-mate Andrew Robertson in Shearer's Team of the Week.
"A brilliant goal and performance," Shearer said. "Gini ran the midfield, helping Liverpool to three much-needed points after two draws."

Shearer's Team of the Week
Tom Heaton (BUR) | BHA 1-3 BUR
He made four fantastic first-half saves to help Burnley to three huge points.
Kyle Walker (MCI) | MCI 6-0 CHE
Eden Hazard did not have a kick. Enough said.
Aymeric Laporte (MCI) | MCI 6-0 CHE
The Frenchman is having a superb season and had another excellent game against Chelsea.
Chris Smalling (MUN) | FUL 0-3 MUN
Bullied Aleksandar Mitrovic.
Andrew Robertson (LIV) | LIV 3-0 BOU
An impressive performance in both defending and going forward.
Georginio Wijnaldum (LIV) | LIV 3-0 BOU
A brilliant goal and performance. Gini ran the midfield, helping Liverpool to three much-needed points after two draws.
Paul Pogba (MUN) | FUL 0-3 MUN
Man of the Match. Strength, skill, precision, pace and two goals. He is another who is a completely different player under this manager.
Anthony Martial (MUN) | FUL 0-3 MUN
A stunning goal and in brilliant form.
Chris Wood (BUR) | BHA 1-3 BUR
Two great finishes and led the line superbly for the Clarets.
Sergio Aguero (MCI) | MCI 6-0 CHE
Another hat-trick from a world-class player. Might as well say 'well done' now as it's only really a matter of time before he goes ahead of me!
Raheem Sterling (MCI) | MCI 6-0 CHE
Wow! He ran Cesar Azpilicueta ragged and bagged another two goals.
Manager: Sean Dyche (BUR) | BHA 1-3 BUR
Another impressive win for Dyche, whose side are moving away from danger with an impressive seven-match unbeaten run.
