AARON MOOY has been shortliste­d for this year’s Asian Internatio­nal Player of the Year award.

The 27-year-old has been selected due to his fine displays in both Australia’s qualificat­ion for the World Cup and Huddersfie­ld Town’s promotion to the Premier League last season.

The midfielder is up against Japan and Borussia Dortmund’s Shinji Kagawa as well as Son Heung-Min of South Korea and Tottenham Hotspur with the winner announced on November 29. can criticise the referee Lee Probert but I think he needs to get help from the linesman there.

“It’s a clear foul on Florent Hadergjona­j - I don’t think it’s a red card, it’s a yellow card at most, but I can’t believe he did not give a foul for that.

“If he had given a foul it would have stopped the play and Callum Wilson’s goal.”

Shearer agreed: “It should have been a foul but, instead, they get a corner and they score from three yards out with a free header.

“That’s the first one and for the second one it should have been offside – it’s a good ball into the box but Huddersfie­ld Town have held their line well. The linesman should flag but he doesn’t and again, it’s a very good finish.”

In Sunday’s solitary Premier League game, David Moyes’ West Ham reign began with a 2-0 Premier League defeat by upwardly mobile Watford at Vicarage Road.

The Scot’s hopes of a winning start in his 500th game as a manager were dashed by goals in either half from Will Hughes and Richarliso­n that left his new club in the bottom three.

The Hammers also lost £25m striker Marko Arnautovic with a suspected broken hand.

On Saturday Manchester City maintained their unbeaten start to the league season with a 2-0 win at Leicester.

Pep Guardiola’s side are now unbeaten in 24 matches in all competitio­ns after picking up their 16th consecutiv­e victory - a record for an English side.

Manchester United remain eight points adrift in second place after coming from behind to beat Newcastle 4-1 in the late kick-off.

Third-placed Chelsea ran out easy 4-0 winners against West Brom to increase the pressure on Baggies boss Tony Pulis.

Arsenal also proved they are still a force to be reckoned with by blowing away Tottenham 2-0 in a pulsating north London derby.
