Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has hailed Eddie Howe for his tactical changes that "worked perfectly" during the 2-1 win against Brentford on Saturday afternoon.
The Magpies became just the second team this season to beat Brentford at home thanks to a David Raya own goal and a sublime finish from Alexander Isak. Having seen an initial spot-kick saved by Nick Pope, Ivan Toney's second penalty of the game just before half-time saw the Bees take a 1-0 lead at the break.
Howe was quick to act as he brought on Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon at half-time, with the former providing the assist for Isak in the 61st minute. Shearer has heaped praise on the Newcastle boss for his substitutions after he admitted that the change in tactics turned the game around for his former side.
