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.
