‘Best to come’ as Shearer and Owen deliver Hammers blow

ALAN SHEARER promised there was more to come from his partnership with England striker Michael Owen after moving to within just one goal of equalling Jackie Milburn’s club record of 200 goals.

Shearer took his tally to 199 with Newcastle's third goal in Saturday's 4-2 demolition of Alan Pardew's side but it was Owen's hat-trick his first for the club since joining them from Real Madrid in the summer which really caught the eye.

Owen struck twice in the opening half and completed his hat-trick in the dying seconds of added time to give Newcastle their second successive Premiership victory in a six-goal thriller at Upton Park.
