Newcastle United co-owners Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi embraced Eddie Howe after the stadium had cleared and the dust was settling on a huge victory.
The sight of the Ripon financier and her husband heading down to the dressing room area is not unusual these days at St James' Park, but after Howe had finished with his television interview duties, the co-owners met at the front of the tunnel and it was big hugs all round. This time it felt extra significant as Newcastle nudged up to 34 points.
