Three Aston Villa players have earned a place in Alan Shearer's Team of the Week after extending their 100 per cent away record with a 3-0 win at Arsenal.
Shearer, the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer, was particularly impressed with the captain's performance of Jack Grealish.
The 25-year-old may not have scored but, for Shearer, his assist for Villa's third goal showcased his many talents.
