Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer was furious with the referee on Tuesday night.

The former striker was angry at the decision to award Paris Saint-Germain a last-gasp penalty in the Champions League group stages.

Newcastle were 1-0 up in Paris thanks to an Alexander Isak goal, but had to settle for a point.

A controversial hand-ball resulted in a Kylian Mbappe penalty equalizer, with Shearer reacting badly.

He posted on social media: "Do me a f***ing favour man. What a load of s**t". His Match of the Day colleague Gary Lineker added: "How on earth is that a penalty for PSG. Ludicrous!"

BT Sport pundit Jermaine Jenas said: "I think that's a shocker from the referee. He had such a good game and to give that right at the end, he's caved to be honest with you.

"I think the players from Paris Saint-Germain put so much pressure on him throughout the match, he'd performed so well, but for that to happen in that moment like that, it doesn't feel right.

"It'll be a tough one to swallow for the players but Eddie Howe should be so proud of his team. They're down to their bare bones, they've worked their socks off and they should've left Paris with all three points."
