Premier League weekend review: What we learned

Alan Shearer says Jack Grealish's quality is starting to shine through at Manchester City.

The winger was outstanding in City's 4-1 win over Liverpool. He set up the opening goal, made a vital interception at the other end, and scored the fourth goal.

Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer and a Hall of Fame inductee, was hugely impressed by Grealish's all-round display and included him in his Matchweek 29 team of the weekend.

Emiliano Martinez (AVL)
"He made plenty of good saves to keep a fourth clean sheet in five matches."

Kieran Trippier (NEW)
"The captain led by example and didn't give Marcus Rashford a kick. His delivery for the second goal was superb as usual."

Ezri Konsa (AVL)
"Another solid and reliable performance in Villa's defence."

Sven Botman (NEW)
"He won every battle and made a few great blocks to keep Manchester United out."

John Stones (MCI)
"Outstanding both in and out of possession, justifying Pep Guardiola's decision to play him in midfield next to Rodri."

Kevin De Bruyne (MCI)
"Ran the show and timed his run brilliantly to put Man City ahead, before setting up Grealish's goal with a clever pass."

John McGinn (AVL)
"His influence helped Villa win the midfield battle and he scored a wonderful goal."

Joe Willock (NEW)
"Never stopped running, threatening on the counter time and again, and deservedly scoring Newcastle's opening goal. England, are you watching?"

Julian Alvarez (MCI)
"With his goal and a key role in Ilkay Gundogan's, who needs Erling Haaland?"

Gabriel Jesus (ARS)
"Two goals. What a way to mark your first start after returning from injury."

Jack Grealish (MCI)
"He tied Trent Alexander-Arnold in knots. Grealish looks right at home in a Manchester City shirt now and his run back to stop Mohamed Salah shows why Guardiola loves him."

Manager: Unai Emery (AVL)
"He won the tactical battle to inflict Graham Potter's final defeat at Chelsea."
