Aaron Cresswell has been named in the European team of the week by Spanish daily AS.

The 24-year-old full back scored the only goal in West Ham's narrow 1-0 win over Newcastle at the Boleyn on Saturday to cap another promising performance.

And that particular achievement has been recognised by AS, who name a European XI each week consisting of players from outside La Liga.

Cresswell is one of five players from the Premier League to be included in this week's selection; the others being Jason Shackell (Burnley), Charlie Austin (QPR), Robin Van Persie (Man Utd) and Santi Cazorla (Arsenal).

Also included in the team from outside of England are Ralf Fährmann (Schalke), Dutch international Nick Viergever (Ajax), Stergos Marinos (Charleroi), Xavi Alonso (Bayern Munich) and Levekusen winger Karim Bellarabi.
