Sunday 9th October 1994, Premier League game, Newcastle United hosted Blackburn Rovers.With Newcastle sitting in top spot and Blackburn in second place, this was a battle of the best, The match was end to end with both defences holding out well, Alan Shearer, in his homelands finally broke the deadlock converting a 58 minute penalty, Rovers held on to that lead until the 88th minute when Newcastle had a shot and the ball bobbled in off Tim Flowers with an own goal. Perhaps a 1 1 draw was a fair result on the day,
