Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer was furious after his team lost 4-2 in the Premier League on Monday.

The Magpies were beaten at Anfield by Liverpool, despite putting in a spirited display.

Post-game, Shearer slammed the decision to award Liverpool a second penalty after it appeared that Diogo Jota dived following a Martin Dubravka challenge.

"What a great dive that is," Shearer tweeted with three rolling on the floor laughing emojis.

Arsenal legend Ian Wright tweeted, adding: "Would rather go down for a penalty than put the ball in an empty net!

"Seen it all!"

Shearer then quote-tweeted Wright, finishing: "F****** embarrassing."
