Four goals for a Manchester City side looking to stay one step ahead of Liverpool in the title race made Gabriel Jesus impossible for Alan Shearer to ignore when the Premier League's all-time top scorer was selecting his best XI of Matchweek 34.
Jesus's first Premier League hat-trick in the 5-1 win against Watford earned him a place alongside team-mate Kevin De Bruyne in the Team of the Week chosen by Shearer, the inaugural Hall of Fame inductee.
