Alan Shearer was in attendance to watch Newcastle's win over Fulham at Craven Cottage. <br /><br />Eddie Howe's side booked their place in the fifth round of the FA Cup with a 2-0 win in West London. <br /><br />Former striker Shearer was spotted in the away crowd in the latter stages of the match and was all smiles. <br /><br />He would typically be in the BBC studio as a pundit, but with ITV the selected broadcaster for the match, the 53-year-old enjoyed a night off to watch his side. <br /><br />Shearer scored 206 goals in 405 games for his boyhood club over a decade-long spell, becoming the Premier League's all-time goalscorer in that time. <br /><br />He would have been impressed with what he saw from Newcastle as they returned to winning ways following poor form before their two-week break. <br /><br />Sean Longstaff broke the deadlock against Marco Silva in the 39th minute side with a half-volley which was followed by a VAR review. <br /><br />Dan Burn doubled the lead with a close-range finish shortly after the hour mark to ensure Newcastle advanced to the last 16 of the FA Cup for just the second time in 18 years. <br /><br />Howe's side will seek to return to winning ways in the Premier League when they visit Aston Villa on Tuesday night.
