Shearer: Buendia was everywhere against Man City

Teemu Pukki grabbed the headlines on Saturday but just as pivotal to Norwich City's 3-2 victory over Manchester City was their all-action midfielder Emiliano Buendia, says Alan Shearer. 

Buendia assisted two of Norwich's three goals in the 3-2 win and the Argentinian playmaker did not stop there. 

He made nine recoveries and four tackles in a brilliant individual display that gives him a place in the Premier League Champion's team of best Matchweek 5 performers.

"Buendia did it all against the reigning champions," says the competition's all-time leading scorer. "He got two assists and was absolutely everywhere."
