Habib Beye says everyone at Newcastle United believes Alan Shearer can lead them to Premiership safety.

The fullback said: "Everyone knows what Alan Shearer has done before. He took this job for the last eight games because he is from the area and he wants to save Newcastle United.

"If anyone can do that for this club it is him because everyone knows he is a Newcastle legend. He wants everyone focused on the challenge.

"He does not want to see Newcastle in the Championship and he is full of spirit. We are trying to make sure he achieves that. This was a massive point and now we really believe we can do it."
