Alan Shearer says Miguel Almiron has between now and the end of the season to prove he belongs at Newcastle United next season after the Paraguayan's wonder goal against Crystal Palace. The Magpies are now 15 points clear of the bottom three after last night's win, a remarkable achievement from Eddie Howe and his coaching staff.
Newcastle are now well within a shout of a top half finish after six consecutive home wins, a feat they've not achieved since 2004. It's been a remarkable turn around from the Magpies who were rock bottom of the Premier League prior to the turn of the year.
Almiron has spent the majority of Howe's tenure on the bench, with the fine form of Ryan Fraser, keeping him out of the starting XI. Nonetheless, the injury to the Scotland international paved the way for Almiron, who has been impressive in his last three outings.
