Ipswich Town claimed their first Premier League win of the season in Sunday's stunning 2-1 success at Tottenham Hotspur, with Liam Delap playing a significant role.
The 21-year-old delivered a complete centre-forward's performance for Ipswich, scoring a goal, providing an assist and holding the ball up brilliantly to relieve pressure.
Delap has now scored six goals this season, and only one fellow Englishmen has netted more - Chelsea star Cole Palmer, with seven.
Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and Hall of Fame inductee, names Delap in his Team of the Week that features players from SEVEN different clubs.
