Toon Legend Alan Shearer Blasts Newcastle Forward Yoshinori Muto's Performance Against Brighton

Alan Shearer has blasted Newcastle forward Yoshinori Muto for his part in the goal that saw Newcastle slump to another defeat.

Newcastle were defeated at the Sports Direct Arena as Beram Kayal’s goal gave Brighton a 1-0 victory over Newcastle, leaving Rafa Benitez’s side winless after nine games and stuck at the bottom of the table. Magpies legend Alan Shearer has heavily criticised his former side and believes Muto should have done more to prevent the goal that led to the Newcastle defeat.

“It was poor today, but you’ve still got to do the defending from the corner,” he said on Match of the Day .
