Danny Ings enjoyed a dream first start for West Ham United as he netted twice in Saturday's impressive 4-0 win over Nottingham Forest.
In the space of two second-half minutes, the striker showed brilliant instincts to convert from close range for both his goals, lifting the pressure from manager David Moyes as the Hammers climbed out of the bottom three.
Alan Shearer, the Premier League's all-time top scorer and Hall of Fame inductee, was so impressed by Ings' performance that he has included him in his Team of the Week.
