Two Newcastle players named in Alan Shearer’s Team of the Week after 2-1 win at Tottenham

Alan Shearer has named Sven Botman and man of the moment Miguel Almiron in his Premier League Team of the Week.

Both played key roles in Sunday’s 2-1 win over Tottenham; a victory which kept the unbeaten run going and sent us up to fourth in the table.

Almiron continued his stunning run of form in front of goal, grabbing his sixth of the season to make it 2-0 after leaving two Spurs players for dead and sliding past Lloris.
