Robson hails goal-happy Shearer

Newcastle manager Bobby Robson acknowledged the debt he owes to captain Alan Shearer after the striker reached the 20-goal mark yet again.

The near-post header which put Newcastle 2-1 up against Real Mallorca on Thursday and continued a remarkable fightback took the 33-year-old through the barrier between the very good and the best for the umpteenth time in his career.
