Chris Wood says he could not have had a better compliment than the one he received from Alan Shearer after his first Newcastle United goal at St James' Park.
Shearer was quick to post his admiration for Wood after he first won the penalty following a Joelinton through ball and then hammered it home against Wolverhampton Wanderers. Shearer said on social media: "Nice pen Chris Wood. At last a bit of quality going forward in getting the penalty."
When asked if he could not have had better backing from a former star, Wood told Chronicle Live: "Most definitely - he's a legend, not just in football but around the world. It's very nice.
