Alan Shearer believes poor finishing helped Leeds United earn an important point at St James’ Park. The Whites kept their first clean sheet in 10 matches to frustrate one of the Premier League’s most in-form sides.
Ahead of the game, Newcastle United had won their previous six outings. However, a gritty Leeds performance prevented them from extending their impressive run of form.
Results elsewhere means the hard-fought draw gives the Whites a three-point cushion over the bottom three. Illan Meslier was called upon several times - especially in the second half - as Jesse Marsch’s men hung on.
