The Premier League's record goalscorer Alan Shearer has named his Team of the Week for Matchweek 29, featuring Chelsea's hat-trick hero Joao Pedro and three Newcastle United players.

Joao Pedro scored his first Premier League hat-trick in Chelsea's impressive 4-1 win against Aston Villa and provided an assist for Cole Palmer, who is also included in Shearer's team.


Elsewhere, Newcastle's spirited 2-1 win against Manchester United, after playing the whole second half with 10 men, has resulted in three of their players and their head coach being selected by Shearer.

The Magpies' goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale starred on his first Premier League start since Boxing Day, while midfielder Joelinton and match-winning forward William Osula are also in the XI. Meanwhile, Eddie Howe is picked as the manager after his inspired decision to bring on Osula in the 85th minute.
