Leeds United pair handed plaudits after double Team of the Week inclusions following Wolves win

Both former Premier League manager Harry Redknapp and Alan Shearer have hailed Leeds United winger Jack Harrison after the star's display in the 4-2 win over Wolves on Saturday by including him in their respective Team of the Weeks.

The 26-year-old netted the Whites' first of the afternoon after just six minutes when he converted Wilfried Gnonto's cross into the penalty area with a thunderous finish from the spot.

That goal was Harrison's third of the season in the league and teed up what would be goals for Luke Ayling, Rasmus Kristensen and Rodrigo later in the afternoon.

Redknapp noted the winger's 'eye for goal' and expects big things in the future from the Whites forward, writing for BetVictor: "Jack Harrison is always a threat for Leeds, I’m a big fan of him.

"He’s got a real eye for goal, usually with both feet as well. He took his goal against Wolves very well and he’s a vital player in this Leeds side.

"I think there’s more to come from Jack and I can see him taking his game to the next level."

The all-time Premier League record goalscorer Shearer also included Whites goalkeeper Illan Meslier in his own Team of the Week after his impressive shot-stopping over the weekend.

“If it wasn’t for him in goal, Leeds may not have come away with the three points,” he told the Premier League website.

The Frenchman made six important saves throughout the match, and only conceded from a stunning 35-yard volley and a deflected effort.

Shearer's side also consisted of Ben White, James Tarkowski, Tyrone Mings, Alex Moreno, Bukayo Saka, Douglas Luiz, James Ward-Prowse, Theo Walcott and Alexander Isak.
