Shola Ameobi’s goal meant Newcastle made the short trip back home with all three points from today’s match at the Riverside.
The under 21 international scored a close range effort in the 21 minute which set the Magpies up for the win, in a match were they had to defend for their life’s.
Man of the match Shay Given was forced into making three world class first-half saves to prevent Boro running away with victory.
Boro threw everything they had at United as the clock ran down, but the visitors were not about to surrender their lead as Shearer used all his experience to guide his side through the final excruciating seconds.
