Picking his weekly team of the week for the Premier League's official website, Alan Shearer found room for two Blades players, with both George Baldock and John Fleck being given the nod, alongside stars such as Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah.

Baldock was a constant threat in the right wing-back position throughout the match, and was as dogged as ever with his defensive duty. Fleck was once again a goal threat for United, and his brace secured another three points for his side.

Two Bournemouth players were also selected after their shock 1-0 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, with defender Chris Mepham and midfielder Jefferson Lerma making the cut.

Next up, Sheffield United travel to the south coast this weekend, when they take on Graham Potter's Bournemouth. The two sides haven't faced each other in over a decade; their last meeting saw goals from Phil Jagielka, Paul Ifill and Michael Tongue secure a 3-0 win for the Blades back in 2006.
