Alan Shearer has credited the influence of Eddie Howe's 'brilliant' substitutions during Newcastle United's 2-1 win victory over Brentford. Newcastle trailed 1-0 at the break after Ivan Toney converted from the spot, after previously missing a penalty earlier in the first half.
Howe responded by introducing Callum Wilson and Anthony Gordon at the expense of Sean Longstaff and Jacob Murphy respectively at the break.
The Magpies came from behind to register a fifth win on the spin and reclaim third spot from Manchester United in the Premier League table.
