Former Newcastle striker Shearer was quick to capitalise on the win by poking fun at Wright, an Arsenal legend and a staunch supporter of the Gunners. Known for their history together on punditry, Shearer and Wright have a longstanding friendship that often spills over into good-natured banter, especially when their teams clash.
WATCH THE CLIPWHAT WRIGHT & SHEARER SAID
This weekend, it was Shearer’s turn to boast after his former club triumphed over Arsenal. Recovering from a recent knee replacement surgery, Wright is currently using a wheelchair, but that didn’t stop him from giving Shearer a feisty response as he spotted the former striker filming a video with a mischievous grin.
Wright, clearly unfazed, quipped "F*** off," as he chuckled, while Shearer, undeterred, replied, "It was only 1-0." Unamused by the continued taunting, Wright shot back, "F***ing shut your mouth," with a death stare at the ex-striker.
