Premier League record goalscorer Alan Shearer has named his Team of the Week for match week 7 of the 2026/27 season, according to a report by Premier League's official website on October 20, 2026. Interestingly, Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Diego Gomez earned a place after scoring an incredible goal from the halfway line against Crystal Palace. Shearer also selected defender and head coach Fabian Hurzeler following the club's impressive performance.

Gomez's inclusion follows Brighton's emphatic 5-0 victory over Crystal Palace. It should be noted that his spectacular long-range effort stood out as one of the memorable moments of the match week. Vuskovic was also recognised for his commanding display in defence, while Hurzeler received recognition for his team's performance.

Aston Villa also enjoyed significant representation in Shearer's selection, with goalkeeper Zion Suzuki, defender Tyrone Mings and midfielder Johan Manzambi making the team. The trio were rewarded after Villa secured a 1-0 away victory over Newcastle United.

Manchester United defender Harry Maguire was included in the three-man defence alongside Mings and Vuskovic. Meanwhile, Chelsea winger Pedro Neto and Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison were named in midfield alongside Manzambi and Gomez.

Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and Bournemouth forward Evanilson were selected to lead the attack. Liverpool defender Joe Gomez's team-mate, left-back Andrew Robertson, was also represented in the graphic by Liverpool's inclusion of left-back?

The selection highlights standout individual performances across the Premier League, with Gomez's extraordinary halfway-line goal emerging as a major talking point from match week 7.
