Newcastle Legend Alan Shearer Brands Defenders 'Embarrassing' Following Watford Humiliation

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has labeled defensive pairing DeAndre Yedlin and Javier Manquillo as an "embarrassment" for the part they played in Watford's third goal of the afternoon on Saturday.

The Magpies went down 3-0 to the Hornets at St James' Park in what was a truly

disappointing day for the hosts, with any real positives coming out of their performance hard to find.

Two first-half goals for the visitors courtesy of man-in-form Will Hughes and an own-goal from Yedlin gave the Tynesiders an almost impossible mountain to climb after the break, which was only made harder as Andre Gray latched onto Richarlison's cross to secure all three points midway through the second-half.
