Geordie great Alan Shearer is full of praise for Brighton striker Aaron Connolly.
The 19-year-old, called into Mick McCarthy's Republic of Ireland squad on the back of his brace in victory over Tottenham, left Shearer impressed.
Shearer said, He was absolutely magnificent. He ran Spurs ragged all afternoon. It was a complete centre-forward performance; it had everything."
Shearer praised his movement, willingness to run in behind the Spurs defence and his overall work-rate, before adding, He was superb. He's been called up to the Republic of Ireland squad and it's thoroughly deserved on that performance."
