Newcastle ease through to quarter-finals
16/03/2005 - 21:56:15Newcastle 4 Olympiacos 0 (aggregate 7-1)
Newcastle captain Alan Shearer claimed another two goals as the Magpies brushed aside Olympiacos to reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals.
The 34-year-old took his tally for the club to 191 with 45th and 69th-minute strikes as the Greeks, already 3-1 down from the first leg, folded.
Kieron Dyer had opened the scoring after 18 minutes with a cheeky back-heeled effort, and after Shearer had grabbed his first, Lee Bowyer made it 3-0 nine minutes after the break as Newcastle claimed their eighth successive win.
