Michael Owen is delighted to see Newcastle United teammate Shola Ameobi amongst the goals this season.

The Newcastle captain said: "He has always shown what he's capable of. If the fans watched training, they'd have him in the team every week because he does some amazing things on the training pitch.

"It's not always happened for him on the pitch, mainly because of injury, but when I first came to Newcastle he was banging in goals left, right and centre under Glenn Roeder. But we know how good he is and he's done very well in the last few games."
