Alan Shearer has highlighted Callum Wilson’s contribution off the bench but also praised Brighton and Evan Ferguson after he scored a hat-trick against Newcastle
Alan Shearer singled out Callum Wilson as Newcastle’s only positive from the Magpies’ 3-1 defeat at Brighton.
Eddie Howe’s side suffered their third successive Premier League loss as Roberto De Zerbi’s Brighton swept them aside at the Amex Stadium. Evan Ferguson struck a hat-trick for the Seagulls as they continued their impressive start, moving up to fourth in the process.
As for Newcastle, Wilson came off the bench and scored, but it was too little too late to have any impact on the outcome. The Magpies now have not won since their opening day 5-1 victory over Aston Villa, losing out against Manchester City, Liverpool and Brighton.
Reflecting on the game, Shearer tweeted: “Brilliant Brighton. Magnificent Ferguson. Other than Wilson Newcastle very poor in every department today. A tough start to the season i know but they were all over place.”
