The three Newcastle games that have made Match of the Day's top 10 Premier League matches

Alan Shearer and Ian Wright have been discussing some of the Premier League's great matched on the latest MOTD: Top 10 podcast

Three Newcastle United matches have been named among the top 10 Premier League games of all time.

There is never a dull moment following the Magpies and, over the years, Newcastle have been involved in some classic clashes since the league's inception in 1992.

So when Newcastle legend Alan Shearer and former Arsenal forward Ian Wright joined Match of the Day host Gary Lineker for the latest MOTD: Top 10 podcast on the best ever Premier League matches, it was little surprise to see United feature prominently on the list.

So from the 4-3 defeat at Liverpool, to the 5-0 win over Manchester United and the remarkable comeback in 2011's 4-4 draw with Arsenal, here's what the guys had to say about some classic Magpies clashes.

Liverpool 4-3 Newcastle (1996)

Alan Shearer: "Newcastle had that 12-point lead over Manchester United in January but they were chipping away at it. It was a game Newcastle had to get something from and it had everything. It was so significant because Kevin Keegan was never going to change the way he wanted his team to play football. It was all-out attack, and I wasn't at the club, but I could understand that philosophy. He wanted to entertain the fans."

Ian Wright: "It was such an entertaining game and it was ideal to watch for a neutral. Newcastle played brilliantly and when they scored you thought they would go, but it's Anfield, and the thing with Liverpool and their fans is they never give up on their team. You are always up against it. Newcastle played how they would play and it was like a basketball game. I genuinely felt for Keegan. It's an iconic moment in the Premier League and his reaction made you think it was over."

Newcastle 5-0 Manchester United (1996)

Alan Shearer : "It was unbelievable because Manchester United had smacked us in the Charity Shield a few months earlier, and the atmosphere going into the game was special. It was Manchester United v Newcastle United and Sir Alex Ferguson v Kevin Keegan. Some of the goals that were scored, and the atmosphere, was unbelievable. It's not often you get to give Manchester United a good seeing to. It was almost the perfect performance."

Newcastle 4-4 Arsenal (2011)

Alan Shearer: "Arsenal were 4-0 up at half-time and you can imagine the moans and groans from the crowd. In the second half, Arsenal went down to 10 men, and Newcastle got one, then another one and another one. The crowd were going mad and then, of all people, Cheick Tiote hit it with his left peg - the strike was unbelievable. He had been at the club for seven years, making 139 appearances, and it was his only league goal, and what a goal!"

Ian Wright: "I remember being at home watching it. Joey Barton played exactly how you want someone to play at 4-0 down with the crowd against you. He was getting involved in everything, he scored the penalty and you started to feel uncomfortable in your chair. We [Arsenal] couldn't keep them out and the Newcastle fans roared them to the draw."
