Legendary former Premier League striker Alan Shearer has praised one \u201cincredible\u201d Leeds United star and included him in his team of the week. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Leeds\u2019 win over Wolves<\/a> was packed with impressive performances, as Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor<\/a> all scored their first goals for the club. <\/p>\n

Gabriel Gudmundsson also impressed<\/a> at full-back at Molineux, while captain Ethan Ampadu was metronomic<\/a> in possession as Leeds produced a polished performance. <\/p>\n

The victory significantly boosted Leeds\u2019 survival hopes<\/a> in the eyes of the Opta Supercomputer and convinced Ally McCoist<\/a> that Farke can steer his side to safety this season. <\/p>\n

Now, Shearer has added his voice to the cascade of praise for the Whites by naming the influential Anton Stach<\/a> in his Premier League Team of the Week. <\/p>\n

Speaking to the Premier League website<\/a>, Shearer singled out Stach for praise by including him in the midfield of his team of the week, alongside Ryan Gravenberch of Liverpool and Bruno Fernandes of Manchester United. <\/p>\n

Stach has caught the eye for Leeds this season, matching a record set by Eden Hazard<\/a> in the build-up to the game, and he got the rewards against Wolves, scoring a brilliant free-kick and laying on an assist for Noah Okafor<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Now, Shearer has praised Stach, stating: \u201cWhat a way to score your first Premier League goal! <\/p>\n

Although Stach\u2019s sublime free-kick took the headlines after the game, his all-round performance was equally impressive in a statement win for the Whites. <\/p>\n

The German midfielder was the FotMob<\/a> man of the match for the game, and the underlying data from his performance makes impressive reading. <\/p>\n

To go with his goal, Stach won five duels, made the joint-most defensive contributions alongside Ampadu and made 61 touches and 32 accurate passes in total. <\/p>\n

After five league games in a Leeds shirt, the Whites appear to have pulled off a significant coup with his arrival in the Premier League<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Legendary former Premier League striker Alan Shearer has praised one \u201cincredible\u201d Leeds United star and included him in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":443920,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[11844,92679,748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-443919","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-alan-shearer","9":"tag-anton-stach","10":"tag-britain","11":"tag-england","12":"tag-great-britain","13":"tag-leeds","14":"tag-uk","15":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115249526192753289","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443919","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=443919"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/443919\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/443920"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=443919"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=443919"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=443919"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
