Alan Shearer rages as he reacts to Leeds demolition job vs 'embarrassing' Newcastle
Alan Shearer was left fuming as Newcastle United fell to a 4-1 defeat away to Leeds United.
The Magpies travelled to Elland Road on Monday with the hope of maintaining their unbeaten record.
Matthias Jaissle's side looked to be full of confidence after the head coach's introduction.
It was up to the Whites to turn the tide and it's fair to say, they did exactly that.
A Lewis Miley own goal and efforts from Jayden Bogle, Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Noah Okafor made sure of a stunning win.
Bazoumana Toure got a late consolation goal but that didn't halt an angry reaction from Alan Shearer.
What did Alan Shearer say about Newcastle in Leeds defeat?
There's no getting away from just how good the hosts were in LS11.
From a Newcastle perspective, it will be all about what they did wrong.
It all seemed to start when Nico Gonzalez went off with a head injury after 19 minutes as they didn't quite recover from there.
Leeds took advantage of everything they could and managed to dominate the encounter.
Shearer isn't one for excuses and hasn't held back in his review of his boyhood club.
Taking to X, he wrote: "An absolute [expletive] show from the Toon. 3-0 at half time is embarrassing."
That sums up the general feeling for the Magpies, but does totally ignore the success of the hosts.
What do the stats say about Leeds United vs Newcastle?
The Premier League record scorer is obviously going to have fiery opinions about his club.
Their performance wasn't good enough on the night, but that shouldn't take away from Leeds.
The hosts were excellent across the pitch as their intensity and quality paid dividends.
They took 15 shots compared to Newcastle's seven and racked up 13 more touches in the opposition penalty area.
Throw in the fact that they also created three big chances compared to one and it's clear to see just how rampant Farke's side were.
The biggest kicker for Shearer will be that the possession was evenly split at 51 to 40 per cent, so there aren't many excuses for the gulf in quality.
Leeds deserved everything they got, even if Shearer can only see the failings of his side.
