Alan Shearer's one-word tweet sums up Newcastle United fan fury after woeful Brighton defeat

Leandro Trossard of Brighton & Hove Albion celebrates after scoring their team's first goal during the Premier League match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Newcastle United.

Newcastle United slumped to a woeful 3-0 loss away at relegation rivals Brighton & Hove Albion on Saturday evening, with Steve Bruce under increasing fire from an angry fanbase.

Club legend Shearer was also far from impressed with the performance and posted a tweet with one word; Abysmal and an angry face emoji.

It neatly summed up the mood on Tyneside with fears the club could be relegated again in the coming weeks.
