Alan Shearer believes Newcastle United were their own worst enemy against Leeds. Despite having 16 shots on goal, the Magpies blundered several opportunities to draw 0-0 with Jesse Marsch's side.
Sean Longstaff, in particular, had a golden opportunity to break the deadlock in the second half. Leeds - who moved three points clear of the relegation zone - put in a gritty and dogged performance at a rain-soaked St James’ Park to frustrate the in-form Newcastle.
A home draw ended their six-game winning run but kept them sitting third in the Premier League. Speaking on Match of the Day, Toon legend Shearer was critical of the Magpies’ finishing but managed to see the bigger picture of 2022 as a whole.
