Alan Shearer blown away by ‘shrewd signing’ West Ham have made
West Ham United picked up their first Premier League win season at the weekend.
The Hammers, who lost 2-1 to Aston Villa in their league opener, bounced back with a 2-0 win at Crystal Palace on Saturday.
Tomas Soucek opened the scoring on 67 minutes, slamming home through a crowd of players after good work from Aaron Wan-Bissaka and Jarrod Bowen.
West Ham then doubled their lead just five minutes later as Bowen latched on to Max Kilman’s pinpoint ball and side-stepped his market before slotting home.
The Hammers’ victory ensured that they had representation in Alan Shearer’s latest Premier League Team of the Week.

Alan Shearer hails West Ham newcomer Max Kilman
Shearer named Kilman in his selection as part of an all-London back line. Indeed, seven players who ply their trade in the capital made the cut.
“Produced a dominant performance in the heart of West Ham’s defence,” Shearer wrote on the . “Could prove to be a shrewd signing.”
Kilman was the only West Ham player to make the cut in Shearer’s XI from match-week two.
Shearer’s selection also consisted of three Tottenham players, two from Chelsea, two from Brighton, and one apiece from Arsenal, Aston Villa and Manchester City.
What Troy Deeney has said about Max Kilman
Shearer is not the only pundit to hail Kilman after West Ham’s win at Palace.
The £40million summer signing also made Troy Deeney’s Premier League Team of the Week on BBC Sport.
“He was a monster for West Ham,” wrote the former Watford man. “They were under a lot of pressure.
“He was like a young Rio [Ferdinand] the way he stepped out and played the ball that sent Jarrod Bowen away to score.”
What next for West Ham?
West Ham are next in action on Wednesday 28 August as they host Bournemouth in the second round of the League Cup.
The Hammers then host reigning Premier League champions Manchester City in a 5:30pm league kick-off on Saturday 31 August.
