Alan Shearer and Troy Deeney have included Sunderland duo Brian Brobbey and Chris Rigg in their Premier League teams of the week after a 2-1 win at Newcastle United.
Regis Le Bris’ side fell behind in the 10th minute at St James’ Park, Chemsdine Talbi levelled, and Brobbey struck a 90th-minute winner.

Shearer picked Brobbey for his XI, alongside Everton forward Beto and Brighton’s former Sunderland loanee Danny Welbeck, who both scored twice at the weekend.
"Brian Brobbey was probably the best player for Sunderland. £17 million he cost from Ajax," said Shearer, speaking on The Rest Is Football.
Deeney’s team of the week also included Rigg, praising the teenager’s reliable shift on the right. He felt Rigg did nothing exceptional but everything well.
