Alan Shearer has picked his team of the week.

The 11 players who most impressed him in the Premier League this past weekend.

The Magpies legend including two from Newcastle United after their performances away at Everton.

Alan Shearer selecting, no surprise, Callum Wilson.

The number nine legend declaring about the current NUFC centre-forward: ‘The man of the match, he led the line superbly. It’s great to see him back among the goals.’

The striker feeding on scraps this season and yet now sitting on ten goals in nineteen Premier League appearances for Newcastle United.

Then Alan Shearer picking a second NUFC player in his PL team of the week, selecting Jamal Lewis, Shearer believes: ‘This was his best match in a black and white shirt.’

Then when it came to Shearer’s manager of the week, he made it a trio of Newcastle United selections when choosing Graeme Jones…only joking…Alan Shearer of course picking his mate Steve Bruce for the 2-0 away victory: ‘He got a much-needed performance from his players, and three important points.’
