Newcastle legend Shearer: Borussia Dortmund deserved win

Borussia Dortmund's win over Newcastle in the Champions League was well deserved.

That is the view of Magpies club legend Alan Shearer, who analysed the contest.

Having beaten Paris Saint-Germain at home last time around, Newcastle were humbled by the German giants, losing 1-0 at home.

“You can't say it was a fluke," Shearer said on BBC Radio 5 Live.

“Dortmund might have been lucky once or twice in the last 10 minutes when it hit the bar but they defended so well.

“They have played Newcastle really well and played to the crowd really well. They were such a threat on the break."

The Newcastle legend added: “If Newcastle are honest then I think they'll accept they didn't deserve anything from the game."
