Newcastle United striker Leon Best is happy turning up the heat on pundit Matt Le Tissier.

Best feels that comments from Southampton legend Le Tissier - who used to haunt the Magpies as a player with his spectacular goals - can only drive United forward.

The striker told the Evening Chronicle: "I can't wait to see the next interview Matt Le Tissier does on us.

"He's finding it hard to give us any compliments at the minute. I look forward to seeing what all of them say.

"We are showing them we can play football, score goals and win games."
