Newcastle United supporters hailed Miguel Almiron after his match-winning performance at Craven Cottage. The Magpies coasted to their second win of the campaign to brush aside 10-man Fulham 4-1 and move up to seventh in the Premier League.
Nathaniel Chalobah’s early red card set the tone of the game as Newcastle capitalised on the one-man advantage to dominate from start to finish. Callum Wilson opened the scoring shortly after on his return from injury but it was Almiron who stole the show - bagging the second and fourth to complete the rout.
Sean Longstaff was the other Toon goalscorer as he got his account up and running for the season. Man of the match Almiron was denied a hat-trick midway through the second half as a cool third was ruled out for offside.

A stellar performance nonetheless earned him the plaudits after Newcastle claimed a convincing victory in West London. This is how supporters reacted on social media at the full-time whistle.
@kjwilson2003: Miggy Almiron has been consistently great all year so that performance isn’t a surprise. Massive improvement in performance and more goals. Looks in his peak and hopefully can only get better!
@DanHolmes1987: Miggy outstanding today. BRUNO the heart beat to this side. Maxi and Isak missing shows we now have a great team. Longy played well today. Very impressed with Botman too
@tynetakes: Imagine at the start of today someone had said to you we’d be 4-0 up with 70-% possession and Murphy playing 30 mins up front. In all seriousness, a relentless display to get the job done with some great displays and a huge 3 points. Still only 1 defeat in 8. Onwards and upwards
@agbnufc_: Amazing for 83 minutes. Really should have had more. We're up to 7TH! It's officially a great start.
@ryanbeard2012: Great result, shame to concede as they didn't deserve anything but 3 points
@RichCopp2: Great performance from everyone! Has to be said Murphy was brilliant today! Yes they had 10 men but great performance!
