Alan Shearer has chosen the eleven players (and manager) who most impressed him in this past weekend’s round of matches in the top tier.
The player turned pundit naming his Premier League team of the week.
Newcastle United putting in a great performance for 60+ minutes as they dominated against Hull City and should have put the game out of sight.
Only for the Tigers to make it an uncomfortable final quarter of the match as a tiring United side conceded and Matthias Jaissle had such limited options on the bench due to nine first team squad injuries.
Alan Shearer including this stand out performer from the match on Tyneside.
The Alan Shearer Premier League team of the week:
Suzuki (Villa)
Vuskovic (Brighton)
Schuster (Bentford)
Lewis Hall (Newcastle United)
Anthony (Brentford)
Chema (Brighton)
Gross (Brighton)
Semenyo (Man City)
Kostoulas (Brighton)
Brobbey (Sunderland)
