Spurs Add To Shearer's Woes

Newcastle and Alan Shearer were plunged closer to relegation after Darren Bent fired Tottenham to a 1-0 victory.[LNB]Bent struck after 24 minutes to leave Shearer without a win in his first three games as temporary manager, and he now has five matches to keep his club in the Barclays Premier League.[LNB]Fortunately for them, they have home clashes against Portsmouth, Middlesbrough and Fulham - but judging by their performance at White Hart Lane they will not be straightforward.[LNB]They struggled to impose themselves on Spurs until Obafemi Martins came on and had a goal disallowed and a huge penalty shout turned down.[LNB]It means Newcastle are now four points from safety and it looks like their survival bid will go to the wire.[LNB]
