Jewell, though, was understandably delighted with this latest scalp, adding: "It was not a classic game as far as great football and chances are concerned, but from our point of view it was hard fought and we deserved the victory.

"Newcastle might not moan about the push that Shearer did. If Graeme has a look at the video he will see Shearer pushed de Zeeuw. It's debatable whether the ball was over the line anyway. If it was then they will be disappointed, but Arjan told me he has been pushed, and even Shearer has said the same on the pitch.

"Lee McCulloch will be out for three games and something like that is going to hurt us. It was a silly tackle. I have not seen it, but it was definitely a booking, with a question mark over whether it was a sending-off. I think we will be wasting our time if we did appeal, but we will have a look at it. I don't hold out too many hopes."
