Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has claimed that the Magpies should have beaten Manchester United '7-0' after Eddie Howe's side ran out 2-0 winners against the Red Devils at St James' Park.
Victory over their top four rivals saw Newcastle move up into third place on goal difference. They currently sit one point clear of Tottenham in fourth place ahead of Spurs' game against Everton on Monday night, with a game in hand over the North London side.
After a frustrating first-half that saw the hosts do everything but find the back of the net, Joe Willock's close-range effort in the 65th minute sparked pandemonium in the crowd as their dominance finally paid off. Callum Wilson's first goal since February just two minutes from time secured all three points after he smartly headed home a Kieran Trippier free-kick.
