Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer is happy to see the pressure ease on Steve Bruce.

Newcastle will head to Chelsea on Saturday looking to build on their fantastic 1-0 win over Manchester United before the international break.

When asked about Newcastle's big win over the Red Devils, and what it meant for manager Bruce, Shearer told the Evening Chronicle: "I was delighted for him.

"I was delighted for the team, because when you put in a performance like they did (against Leicester), you know you're going to get battered.

"They've had a hammering, and rightly so, but you always get a right to reply as a footballer and football manager.

"If you get a result like that (against Man United), it certainly gives you something to go and build on."
