Alan Shearer picks trio of Newcastle United players for his Premier League Team of the Week

Ciaran Clark, Federico Fernandez, and Isaac Hayden have been picked by Alan Shearer for his Premier League Team of the Week.

Newcastle United's record goalscorer made the decision on the back of the club's 1-0 win over Chelsea.

The result, which sent Shearer in a wild celebration, saw United shock Frank Lampard's men as Hayden headed home a last minute winner.

Shearer praised Hayden for his versatility with the former Arsenal man filling it at right-wing-back for last 20 minutes.

"Worked his socks off in two positions and popped up with the dramatic winner," Shearer wrote for Premier League.com.

Shearer was also full of praise for Clark and Fernandez for their roles at the back.

Clark, who had already received praise off Shearer on the final whistle, was described as 'outstanding.'

"Put in a man-of-the-match performance to resist the waves of Chelsea attacks."

Finally, it was Fernandez who came in for praise - Shearer writing: "Solid as a rock. Never wavered when the going got tough."
