However, in the 86th minute, Shola Ameobi nodded a long ball into the path of Shearer who, without hesitation, hit a ferocious volley into the roof of the net to draw Sir Bobby Robson's side on level terms before Li Tie's own goal in the dying stages completed a late comeback.

Sadly, the Gosforth-born striker's 206th goal for the club would be his last after being withdrawn through injury, bringing a premature end to a glittering career and a dazzling decade on Tyneside.
