All Whites striker Chris Wood has earned a bunch of Team of the Week selections after his "purple patch" in the English Premier League.
The Burnley forward struck twice in a 3-1 win at Brighton last weekend to take his tally to five goals in the Clarets' seven-win streak.
A number of British media outlets included Wood in their Team of the Week, alongside Argentina star Sergio Aguero, who grabbed a second consecutive hat-trick for Manchester City.
Wood's admirers included former England striker Alan Shearer, who featured him up front with Aguero in his selection on the English Premier League Facebook page. He was joined by Burnley's England keeper Tom Heaton with Burnley boss Sean Dyche as manager of the week.
Former Liverpool and England midfielder Jamie Redknapp, also noted in the Daily Express that "Wood was on target twice for the Clarets against Brighton, and has now scored seven goals in total against the Seagulls".
Wood also made the team selected by Sky Sports.com, which noted: "Unsurprisingly, the New Zealand international earned his first MOTM [Man of the match] award of the season with this fine performance."
James Dudko, writing on Fansided.com, said: "Chris Wood isn't as quick or skilled as many other strikers in the Premier League. Yet the 27-year-old hasn't lost his touch in the area, proved by the well-taken brace he bagged against Brighton.
"The New Zealand international was instinctive and decisive with both finishes. He angled his run perfectly from out to in to ghost between both central defenders and collect Ashley Barnes' pass over the top before sweeping in the first.
"Wood's second was even better as he swept a shot into the far corner after darting into the box from the left-hand side. It was an expert and composed effort from a striker enjoying a true purple patch:
Dudko said Burnley could avoid the drop with Wood leading the line.
Peter Goldstein writing on Football 365 noted Wood had had five goals in the last seven matches, "plus a sixth wrongly disallowed for offside".
"Against Brighton he produced two very different finishes, a smash and a precise placement, and added the pass that sprang Ashley Barnes to a penalty and Burnley's third goal. His movement has always been excellent, and in recent weeks his partnership with Barnes has edged into Vulcan mind-meld territory. Go take a look at the first goal, where Barnes whacks it long with his weaker foot as Wood makes the run. [Burnley goalkeeper] Tom Heaton has rightly hit the headlines, but Wood and Barnes have been at their peak."
Former Tottenham Hotspur striker turned BBC football pundit Garth Crooks apologised for not including Wood in his Team of the Week.
"I would have loved to have been in a position to select Burnley's Chris Wood for his performance against Brighton as it deserved recognition," Crooks wrote on the BBC Sport website. "However when you've got Sergio Aguero in this form, you're asking me to do the impossible."
