Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer believes his club 'battered' Leeds United during the nil-nil draw on New Year's Eve but just couldn't get the better of Jesse Marsch's side. On a rainy and damp afternoon at St James' Park, the Magpies had 16 shots on goal but failed to find the net with any of them.
The point kept them third in the Premier League heading into 2023, and Shearer felt it was just 'one of those days' for his boyhood side. Speaking to BBC 5 Live, he said: "It was just one of those days for Newcastle. They sort of battered Leeds but Leeds did well defensively and relied on the goalkeeper when they had to but it was mostly one way.
"It was just one of those days where it didn't happen in front of the goal for them but well done Leeds."
