Alan Shearer blasts 'f***ing embarrassing' Diogo Jota and Ian Wright says he's 'seen it all' after Liverpool forward went down for a penalty rather than scoring… and even Reds legend Jamie Carragher 'can't fathom' it

Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has slammed Diogo Jota as 'f***ing embarrassing' after the Liverpool forward went down under minimal contact to win a penalty in the Reds 4-2 win.

Liverpool had dominated the match at Anfield but saw their lead reduced to 3-2 when Sven Botman headed Newcastle back into the game from a corner.

The Reds were given the chance to seal victory when Jota was sent clean through on goal and rounded Martin Dubravka.

Jota appeared poised the roll the ball into the empty net, but went down after minimal contact from the Newcastle goalkeeper.
