Tottenham Hotspur finally found their rhythm again in the Premier League, and one standout performer has now earned a deserved spot in Alan Shearer’s Team of the Week.
Tottenham Hotspur finally got back to winning ways in matchweek seven of the Premier League, as Thomas Frank’s men secured a much-needed 2-1 win over Leeds United.
Frank’s side became the first team to secure a victory at Elland Road this year, as the newly promoted side has made their home ground a fortress.
It took goals from Mathys Tel and Mohammed Kudus for Spurs to get all three points, with the win not coming easily, as Leeds fought hard to protect their unbeaten record at Elland Road.
Alan Shearer includes Tottenham star in his Premier League Team of the Week
Alan Shearer has now named his Premier League Team of the Week, and he has included one Spurs player whom he described as unstoppable.
Mohammed Kudus was immense for Tottenham, not just grabbing a goal, but also assisting Mathys Tel’s opener, yet it was his overall display that truly earned him a spot in the former Premier League striker’s team, down on the right flank.
Writing about Kudus, Shearer said on the official Premier League site: “Leeds simply could not stop Kudus as he scored the winner at Elland Road – his first goal for Spurs – after assisting Mathys Tel’s opener.”
Mohammed Kudus continues to impress under Thomas Frank
Kudus has definitely been impressing since his switch from West Ham United last summer and has taken little time to adapt to Spurs.
It comes as no surprise, as Kudus is very familiar with playing in the Premier League, which has ultimately reduced the adaptation period.
The Ghana international’s best spell in England so far saw him grab eight goals and nine assists in the league, and this season, with seven games gone, he has already managed a goal and four assists. He could very well surpass his best performance if he continues in this vein of form.
