Alan Shearer aimed a cheeky jibe at Match of the Day host Gary Lineker halfway through the frustrating draw with Leicester City which confirmed Newcastle United's place in the Champions League next season. The Magpies only required a point from their final two matches to seal a top-four spot, and celebrated at the full-time whistle despite the goalless draw with the Foxes on Monday night.
The hosts were unable to find a breakthrough before the interval, despite dominating possession and a creating a flurry of late chances. Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson both struck the woodwork, with the in-form number nine also seeing his follow-up effort cleared off the line.
Newcastle continued to dominate possession following the restart, and Bruno Guimaraes saw a close-range header bounce back off the post. However, Nick Pope was called into action in added time as Leicester threatened to nick a winner with their only shot on target through Timothy Castagne.
