Omar Marmoush has taken no time at all in adjusting to the Premier League as he marked just his third appearance in the competition with a sensational hat-trick against Newcastle United.

Not only did the Egyptian showcase his ruthless finishing ability with 14-minute treble against the Magpies, but he was a constant thorn in their side with his outstanding movement and link-up play.

And because of that ruthless display in front of goal Alan Shearer, the Premier League's record goalscorer, has named Marmoush in his Matchweek 25 Team of the Week alongside Man City manager Pep Guardiola.

SHEARER MW25 TOTW

Alex Palmer (Ipswich)
"What an outstanding debut he had against Aston Villa. Made several excellent saves to help 10-man Ipswich earn a vital point."

Adam Webster (Brighton)
"A rock-solid display from the Brighton centre-back. Chelsea had no joy down his side."

Djed Spence (Spurs)
"Showcased his defensive prowess again and was a threat going forward."

Nico Gonzalez (Man City)
"Gave City solidity at the base of midfield as he controlled the match. No wonder Pep Guardiola called him a mini-Rodri."

Ryan Christie (AFC Bournemouth)
"An incredible cross for Bournemouth's first goal and a wonderful strike for their second. A magnificent performance."

Yankuba Minteh (Brighton)
"The best player on the pitch against Chelsea, scoring twice in an impressive victory for the Seagulls." 

Carlos Alcaraz (Everton)
"Produced the perfect assist for Beto and showed superb composure to score Everton's winner." 

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton)
"His goal was a thing of beauty. The touch was incredible and the finish was just as good."

Ethan Nwaneri (Arsenal)
"Arsenal's standout player against Leicester City. Was so unlucky not to score, hitting the woodwork twice, but he kept on going and delivered a terrific cross for Mikel Merino's first goal."

Mikel Merino (Arsenal)
"What an impact from the Spaniard playing out of position as a striker. He had to be included in my team after scoring two huge goals off the bench."

Omar Marmoush (Man City)
"Hat-trick hero! Not only did he take all three of his goals really well, but he tore Newcastle apart with his guile and link-up play."

Manager: Pep Guardiola (Man City)
"Arguably City's best performance and result of the season. Newcastle had no answers for the way Guardiola set his side up."
