Newcastle United have been brought back down to reality in their past two games after suffering back-to-back Premier League defeats for the first time since December, following a tremendous nine-game unbeaten run which comfortably lifted them out of the relegation zone.
But Alex Iwobi’s 99th minute winner for Everton on Thursday night inflicted a second consecutive 1-0 loss for the Magpies and denied them the chance to further increase the gap between themselves and the bottom three.
And former Newcastle player and manager Alan Shearer did not think his former team “were ever going to score” and were “lacking in quality” during their last-gasp defeat against the 10-man Toffees, who were deserving of their victory on the night.
