Tottenham Hotspur continued their fine goalscoring form in Saturday's 4-1 London derby win over West Ham United, with Dejan Kulusevski once again revelling in a new role. 

The Swede caused havoc, pulling the strings in central midfield and scoring the equaliser for Ange Postecoglou's side.

Only Manchester City, with 19, have scored more goals than Spurs' 18 this season.

Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee, names Kulusevski in his Team of the Week alongside team-mate Yves Bissouma, with Spurs the ONLY club providing more than one player.

Shearer TOTW MW8 line-up

Jose Sa (Wolves)
"Back in the Wolves team, he made several outstanding saves to stake his claim for a regular starting spot in the absence of the injured Sam Johnstone."

Michael Keane (Everton)
"Produced a sensational finish for his goal and contributed to a second consecutive clean sheet for Everton."

Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth)
"An assured performance from the centre-back, who was influential as AFC Bournemouth became the first side to shut Arsenal out this season."

Josko Gvardiol (Man City)
"Man City needed something special to get past a deep-lying, resolute Wolves defence, and Gvardiol did just that with his brilliant long-range equaliser."

Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs)
"He continued his terrific form, causing havoc and getting on the scoresheet. The best player on the pitch."

Yves Bissouma (Spurs)
"An all-action display from the Spurs midfielder, who justified his place back in the starting line-up, scoring the second goal."

Youri Tielemans (Aston Villa)
"Is really blossoming this season at Aston Villa, with his range of passing really catching the eye."

Curtis Jones (Liverpool)
"Simply ran the show. Covered every blade of grass, played an important role in keeping Cole Palmer quiet and scored the winner."

Abdul Fatawu (Leicester) 
"What an impact! He changed the game for Leicester when he came on, setting up the first goal and providing a constant threat down the right."

Danny Welbeck (Brighton)
"Like a fine wine, the Brighton forward keeps getting better and better with age. He’s already matched his goal tally from last season after only eight matches!"

Alejandro Garnacho (Man Utd)
"Tucked away his goal superbly and was Man Utd’s standout player as they got a much-needed win."

Manager: Sean Dyche (Everton)
"After a tricky start to the season, his Everton side are now playing with much more confidence. Victory at Ipswich made it four matches unbeaten."
