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.

Kasper Schmeichel (LEI) LEI 1-0 WOL

"He was sharp throughout and made an outstanding save from Ruben Neves to keep his clean sheet."

Wesley Fofana (LEILEI 1-0 WOL

"Looks a very impressive signing. He is solid, quick and can bring the ball out with great confidence."

Jannik Vestergaard (SOU) SOU 2-0 NEW

"Strong and reliable. He didn't give Callum Wilson a kick and his passing was also outstanding."

Aaron Cresswell (WHU) WHU 1-0 FUL

"He is having a great season. He provides superb deliveries for the forwards and is sound defensively."

Hakim Ziyech (CHE) CHE 4-1 SHU

"Looks like he is loving life at Chelsea. This was another brilliant display, with two stunning assists."

Bruno Fernandes (MUN) EVE 1-3 MUN

"His manager was desperate for a performance, and Fernandes delivered one with two goals and an assist."

Douglas Luiz (AVL) ARS 0-3 AVL

"He ran the midfield with a passing masterclass."

Stuart Armstrong (SOU) SOU 2-0 NEW

"Newcastle United couldn't handle him. He deserved his goal."

Harry Kane (TOT) WBA 0-1 TOT

Ollie Watkins (AVL) ARS 0-3 AVL

"Never stopped running and scored two brilliant goals."

Jack Grealish (AVL) ARS 0-3 AVL

"Stunning again. He showed his pace, strength and eye for a pass as he ran from his own half to set up the final goal."

Manager: Dean Smith (AVL) ARS 0-3 AVL

"Masterminded a superb away performance against a team who looked very solid just last week in their win at Manchester United."
