Alan Shearer blasts 'PATHETIC' Newcastle after his former club went 3-0 down before half time against Manchester City

Alan Shearer took to social media to vent his frustrations during Newcastle's clash with Man City.

Eddie Howe's side entered the clash at the Etihad looking to bounce back following a disappointing 2-1 defeat to Fulham at the start of February.

However, the Magpies would quickly find themselves on the back foot at the home of the Premier League champions, with Pep Guardiola's side breaking the deadlock after just 19 minutes.

Following a poor Champions League showing in midweek, City goalkeeper Ederson turned provider, with his long kick perfectly finding Omar Marmoush who lobbed an onrushing Martin Dubravka to put the hosts in front.
