The Canaries striker continued his rich Premier League scoring form last weekend as Carrow Road hosted Daniel Farke’s side against Chelsea.

A number of Norwich City fans have taken to Twitter to question Alan Shearer’s Premier League Team of the Week for not including Teemu Pukki in his XI.

The 29-year-old has been a revelation for the Canaries since his free fransfer from Danish club Brondby IF last summer as he scored 29 goals in the Championship and 30 in all competitions, as well as picking up 10 assists (Transfermarkt).

This season, Pukki has picked up where he left off, netting against one of the best defences in the world in the opening Premier League game at Liverpool, scoring a hat-trick in the 3-1 win over Newcastle United at Carrow Road, and netting in a hard-fought clash with Chelsea last weekend.

Despite the Finland international’s latest goalscoring display against one of the league’s tougher propositions, Shearer opted for West Ham’s Sebastien Haller in the centre-forward position, with Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah and Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham on the flanks.

Here is what some Canaries fans said in response on the social media platform:

Up next for Norwich is Tuesday night’s Carabao Cup second round trip to Crawley Town, while at the weekend they travel to the London Stadium to lock horns with West Ham United in the league.
