Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has major relegation fears after defeat to Swansea City.

Shearer feels Saturday's 3-2 defeat to Swansea at St James' Park was a tipping point and he is genuinely worried about their chances of being caught by the clubs below them.

"Have no doubts about it - Newcastle are now in real danger of going down," Shearer wrote in his column in The Sun.

"I didn't think so until Saturday but after that performance I can't actually say with any certainty that we will get another point this season."
