Alan Shearer singles out Steve Bruce and Allan Saint-Maximin for praises as he includes them in his Team of the Week

Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce led his side to their third Premier League victory of the campaign on Saturday, with the Magpies securing a 3-2 victory at the expense of West Ham United away from home.

Ciaran Clark and Federico Fernandez put Newcastle two-nil up heading into the break, and a fine free-kick from Jonjo Shelvey all but sealed the victory for the visitors six minutes after play resumed.

West Ham threatened to fight back after scoring twice in the closing stages of the game, but it was too little too late for Manuel Pellegrini’s men.
