Newcastle United supporters had to wait a long time to witness a Premier League win at Carrow Road, but you suspect the 400-mile round trip was worth it. It was Newcastle's biggest Premier League win since 2020 and the 3-0 victory marked the first time the Magpies had won four top-flight fixtures in a row since 2018 as Howe's side moved up to ninth place in the table.
The away end were able to relax in the second half for one of the few times this season as they repeatedly urged their side to 'take the p---' and greeted completed passes with shouts of 'ole!'.
It is easy to forget that Newcastle had made a sluggish start but when Howe's side moved through the gears and produced their best move of the game, tellingly, the visitors took Norwich apart in the 37th minute. Sean Longstaff's ball over the top picked out Jacob Murphy down the right and the winger played a clever one-two with Emil Krafth before passing to Allan Saint-Maximin inside the area. Saint-Maximin, under pressure, attempted to square it to the unmarked Longstaff but the ball eventually fell to Joelinton, who lashed it into the net.
