Alan Shearer has taken to Twitter to give his opinion on Fulham stars Ryan Sessegnon and Tom Cairney.

The pair were standout performers as Slavisa Jokanovic's side took apart the league leaders at St James' Park in a 3-1 victory that has seen them cut the gap to Sheffield Wednesday to only two points.

In his Tweet, Shearer said: "He [Ryan Sessegnon] was brilliant, as was his captain Cairney."

Cairney scored the opener when he found time and space on the edge of the Newcastle box, sticking his left footed effort into the top right hand corner.

Meanwhile, 16-year-old Sessegnon bagged himself a brace when he twice broke through into the box, courtesy of two Sone Aluko assists, finishing both efforts in the same corner to send the travelling Fulham fans into raptures.
